CH4LLENGE partner cities carried out twelve pilot projects in order to test promising SUMP process innovations in their environment. Activities ranged from implementing participation strategies to establishing institutional partnerships and setting up monitoring and evaluation schemes. Pilots consisted of 51 local SUMP activities, involved more than 175 institutional actors and established active dialogues with more than 15.400 citizens and 290 local and regional stakeholders.
CH4LLENGE carried out substantial groundwork in examining the state-of-the-art of sustainable urban mobility planning, i.e. the four challenges and local planning practices. The project captured its findings in various new SUMP resources. This includes, for example: four CH4LLENGE Kits, each consisting of a comprehensive manual, a quick-facts brochure and an e-learning course; and a SUMP Glossary providing explanation of more than 120 SUMP specialist terms.
New tools were developed in CH4LLENGE assisting planning authorities in SUMP development: a SUMP Self-Assessment Tool to compare planning practices with European SUMP requirements; an integrated learning environment with five SUMP e-courses, the online version of the SUMP Guidelines, the Self-Assessment and Glossary; the enhanced KonSULT Policy Guidebook and Measure Option Generator as a tool for measure selection; and a template for creating Monitoring and Evaluation Plans.
A total of 26 Follower Cities committed to improving sustainable urban mobility planning took part in CH4LLENGE's learning and experience exchange activities. CH4LLENGE SUMP experts provided support to Follower Cities to enable them to work towards their own SUMPs. SUMP roadmaps were developed for each city in order to kick off SUMP development or progress in existing SUMP activities.
In order to strengthen SUMP capacities in planning authorities, four in-depth workshops were held for more than 170 transport planners from Partner and Follower Cities; about 250 transport professionals were trained in five SUMP National Seminars; more than 200 young professionals were trained in five CH4LLENGE Universities; about 150 participants took part in CH4LLENGE's online learning; finally, European dialogue on SUMP was established in cooperation with the SUMP Co-ordinating Group.
Rupprecht Consult was the coordinator of CH4LLENGE and responsible for the consortium management, administrative and financial management, project communication and process evaluation as well as quality control of the project's deliverables, outputs and all products thatwere produced. Besides project management, Rupprecht Consult wasalso a SUMP knowledge expert in the project and supported the partner cities in analysing their urban mobility and transport planning situation in the context of the four challenges of SUMP. The company also assists the cities in developing their SUMP challenge strategies and had an advisory role in the CH4LLENGE pilot schemes. In addition, Rupprecht Consult was the main knowledge partner for the 'particpation' challenged and authored the SUMP Manual "Participation - Actively involving citizens and stakeholders in SUMP development".

Sometimes, in life, we think things are huge obstacles and we stress and stress and stress about them (Ok, I stress and stress and stress) and then once you're on the other side you are ecstatic that 1) you managed to get through and 2) it wasn't so bad after all! You're alive! It's a miracle!


We're excited to announce that Wittenberg University, with its rich history and tightly knit community, is our newest partner. We're thrilled to be working with them.
Sam Speyer is assistant director of alumni and parent engagement at Wittenberg. We asked him to share why he and his colleagues are excited about working together.

There's so much to see and do, a short visit of just 1 day in Oxford will simply leave you hungry for more! If that's all the time you have though, here's how to spend a day in Oxford and have a great taste of this fabulous city. If you have a little longer in the city, this is a great way to spend your first day to help you orientate yourself.
Visit Oxford and you'll be walking in the footsteps of Prime Ministers, literary gods, Harry Potter, Mr Tumnus and a thousand years of British history. Home to the prestigious University, Oxford has a fascinating past of Town & Gown feuds, Viking battles and martyrs. The imaginations of scholars and professors of the past were nurtured here leaving us with great works from the likes of Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Lewis Carroll. Today, the establishment continues to lead the way in world class academia and the city is a hot spot for tourists.
Our first stop was just outside the city centre, Wolvercote Cemetery. I accept that doesn't sound like fun but herein lies the mortal remains of the author and creator of Middle Earth and the Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien. As we're doing a Tolkien trail as part of our UK road trip, this was a must see for us. His grave is signposted so it'll only take you a few minutes to find it. The well-tended grave is clearly visited regularly by fans and admirers of the great author and many people leave small notes with some well-known passages.
We used the Water Eaton Park & Ride facilities a few hundred metres from Wolvercote Cemetery and 15 minutes later we arrived in Oxford city centre. After picking up a coffee to go (and a free banana!) in Itsu, we wandered along Broad Street and headed for Oxford's Natural History Museum.
It's like a miniature version of London's Natural History Museum and the building alone is astounding, with its glass roof and open atrium extending over all floors. The exhibits include a Dodo which inspired the character in Alice in Wonderland, as well as dinosaur remains and a fantastic interactive area where the kids are positively encouraged to touch the exhibits. It would be easy to spend a full day here, and head into the Pitt Museum at the rear too.
Once we dragged ourselves away from being immersed in time evolution, we headed back down Broad Street for the start of our free 2 hour walking tour of the city. We had a terrific time! Yeah we could have seen all of this without a guide, but the stories of the past from our guide, Tom, really embellished the experience! I can honestly say it was brilliant! Even our 8 year old niece enjoyed it and she's quickly becoming a history buff because of it!
Hear gruesome tales of the martyrs and how they were burned at the stake, wander past the oldest house in Oxford which was originally a brothel and imagine how the establishment fell to the Vikings, despite the Carfax Tower bells before strolling past Tom's Tower and into the grounds of Christ Church.
The free walking tour will take you through the picture perfect grounds of one of the largest colleges within Oxford University, through the Christ Church Meadow, past Merton College and the Botanical Gardens, a source of inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Wonderland.
The magnificent façade of Christ Church.
Picture perfect gardens in the grounds of Christ Church.
The River Isis flowing through Oxford and on into the Thames.
Bodleian library and the heart of the city of Oxford.
All the while, your guide will entertain you with tales of the antics of students from the past and how those traditions continue in modern day form. We had a fascinating insight to the feud between the towns people and the establishment of the University, which today owns more than 90% of the city's land making it more powerful than the City's council! Tom's storytelling was so animated, full of small detail that as we walked along the cobbled streets surrounded by fantastic architecture dating back 700 years, we could almost visualise the shenanigans of the past.
All Souls College, one of the 38 colleges that make up Oxford University.
The rotund building of the Radcliffe Camera.
The Bridge of Sighs in Oxford, joining 2 parts of Hertford College.
After a quick lunch, we headed back to the Radcliffe Camera to look out for the architectural details that inspired C.S. Lewis's character, Mr Tumnus in his Narnia books. With the city full of old fashioned lampposts, and with this sort of detail, it's easy to see how the characters from the books were borne from what C.S. Lewis saw around him everyday.
Next we headed back towards Christ Church. With an 8 year old to entertain, we had no choice but to stop off at Alice's "Sheep" Shop. This is the shop where Alice Liddell (the real Alice in Wonderland) often bought her sweets. As every good tourist attraction does, the owners leverage this fact to maximum effect. Sadly, photography isn't allowed inside the store, which is not only a shame, but if you ask me down right rude given the excessive price of everything for sale here. Clearly printing the word "Alice" is a rather costly manufacturing process! I'm not bitter, just robbed albeit with a very happy niece!
The highlight of our day was a visit to Christ Church. We'd walked past the building on the walking tour but were keen to see the inside of this fantastic college. Aside from being an inspiration for the Hogwart's Dining Room in Harry Potter and a filming location in a couple of the Harry Potter movies, Christ Church is not to be missed. It's just beautiful, full of history and quirky traditions. I shan't ruin the stories for you. Visit this place and learn about the pomp and ceremony and age old traditions that still last to this day. And if that doesn't float your boat, when you leave this building, you'll feel far more clever that when you entered! That's how good Oxford University is!
Looking over Tom Quad towards Tom's Tower. The bell rings 101 times at 9:05pm, every night! And there's a reason why!
So spectacular is the Great Hall, it led to a replica being built as the Hogwart's dining room.
What film maker wouldn't be attracted to this staircase? Does it seem familiar? If you're a Harry Potter fan, you'll have seen this staircase in a couple of the films.
These fire dogs in the Great Hall of Christ Church ignited the imagination of Lewis Carroll and led to Alice stretching like a telescope in Alice in Wonderland.
Christ Church cathedral is home to one of the world's oldest and best known cathedral choirs.
How to spend a day in Oxford – a pint of your finest mead, sir!
Our final stop of the day was a visit to a pub. Yes a good old English pub, of which there are many in Oxford. But not just any old one! We visited the Eagle & Child. This is where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, along with others, used to meet regularly. The Inklings as they were known, met in the pub every Tuesday morning for 23 years! Just like today's book clubs, literature seems to be far more enjoyable when alcohol is involved.
First things first, try to avoid driving into Oxford city centre. Not only is it very expensive but spaces are few and far between and if you are lucky enough to find one, it may well be limited to 2 hours. There are plenty of parking spaces in the Park & Ride facilities on the outskirts of the city. From these, you can get a bus for the short 15 minute journey into the centre. We parked at Water Eaton as it was a few minutes' drive from Wolvercote Cemetery, J.R.R. Tolkien's resting place. Parking was £2 for 11 hours and the return bus fare is £2.60. The buses run every 15 minutes and children travel free.
Admission to the Natural History Museum is free. You can book your place on the free 2 hour walking tour of Oxford here.
Thanks sir/ mam given such useful information at one place .
I think that was a great article for tours lovers again thanks.
A fabulous virtual tour! Sights like this are what I miss most about no longer living in England.
Wow! Love the architecture, can't wait to visit Oxford for the first time. Lovely photos!
Hi Jia. Thank you for your comments. Do you have plans to visit the UK soon? I'd certainly recommend Oxford being on your must see list.


Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara insists there is more to come from his side after seeing them dismantle Dundee 4-1 to go top of the Premiership.
The Tannadice outfit cruised to victory in the first Dundee derby of the season at Dens Park.
"We had to go out and match them first and foremost, but I still feel we can pass it better," McNamara said.
"When we do move the ball quickly and move it into little areas you can see we have players that can hurt them."
The United manager said referee Steven McLean was right to award the penalty that led to his side's opening goal of the game.
Gary Mackay-Steven went down in the area under a challenge from Thomas Konrad and Mario Bilate scored from the spot.
And McNamara felt the visitors could have had another spot-kick.
"From where I was I thought it was a stonewaller," he told BBC Scotland.
"And the referee has had a word with me after [Chris] Erskine's gone through, I thought he was taken out at that one."
Ryan Dow, Callum Morris and Keith Watson were also on target for United before Konrad was red-carded for a second booking and Greg Stewart scored late on for the hosts.
The sides meet again on League Cup duty at Tannadice on Wednesday night, and while McNamara was delighted with his team's display at Dens, he will take nothing for granted in midweek.
"As a team we were excellent, organised and disciplined. The back four were outstanding, [Paul] Paton was immense and the rest of them were very good," he added.
"There's little things I'd be slightly critical of in terms of the last pass going into the final third, but we carried a threat all afternoon.
"They will be hurting but it doesn't matter what the situation is, it's a local derby. For us, we have to make sure we do the same job."
Bilate was thrilled to play his part in the victory that sent United top of the Premiership on goal difference.
"We did a great job and I think we dominated them throughout the entire match," he said.
"I was very confident when I stepped up to take the penalty. I hoped it was a penalty, the first thing I did was look at the referee and as soon as he pointed to the spot I knew I had a job to do."

"Microwaves in Mexico" is now available at Fast Market Research.
[ClickPress, Wed Feb 04 2015] In 2014 almost all competitors offered different efficient systems that identify the intensity of heat and the time needed for different types of meal, such as raw, frozen, liquids and pasta, among others, in order to retain consistency. The trend of healthy cooking also meant that some brands such as Samsung developed Fry Slim technology to fry without oil (Smart oven Cello) or even cook charcoal grilled meat with LG's technology (Solar Dom2 Asador). Both are a very popular cooking styles for Mexicans, with most traditional Mexican recipes including fried meals, but as fat is not healthy people are looking for new options to cook such meals. Other brands have evolved to offer predetermined menu options for specific dishes -- for example, Whirlpool with Food Expert, Electrolux with Gourmet and Fit-2-perfection, Frigidaire with Ready-select controls, and Daewoo with its Chef Mexicano models, among others.
In 2014 LG Electronics Mexico SA de CV led the microwaves category with a 40% retail volume share, followed by Daewoo Electronics Corp de Mexico SA de CV with 24% and Controladora Mabe SA de CV with 11%. LG is the undisputed leader thanks to the constant innovation and technology applied to its products. The company is also very active with customers in stores, with brochures and well-trained staff, attracting customers with a wide range of options. Daewoo, despite not having the same brand marketing campaigns, enjoys brand awareness and is positioned as a high-quality brand with attractive designs and affordable prices. Mabe is the most popular brand in major appliances and the most affordable brand in the microwaves category. It also enjoys good distribution through most retailers.
Over the forecast period the healthy cooking trend will become stronger as Mexicans are increasingly aware of the risks and diseases related to obesity, such as diabetes. This will boost consumption of multifunctional appliances such as microwaves, which provide different options to enable faster and healthier cooking. Microwaves will continue to compete with other categories such as cookers, conventional ovens and mini ovens, and will also have to adapt to new needs according to Mexicans' lifestyle and income segments. The microwaves category is expected to see CAGRs of 6% and 4% in retail volume and constant value terms respectively over the forecast period.
Discover the latest market trends and uncover sources of future market growth for the Microwaves industry in Mexico with research from Euromonitor's team of in-country analysts.

Air Seychelles signs up with 1GSA member M&C Aviation
Air Seychelles has appointed M&C Aviation – a founder member of the 1GSA independent GSSA network – as its exclusive sales agent covering the Indian market.
M&C was formerly the airline's Cargo Sales Agent for India on a non-exclusive basis and it was restricted to certain activities.
However, the deal has now been expanded with M&A becoming the exclusive General Sales Agent (GSA). The company is also GSA for Madagascar and Mauritius.
M&C said the new contract enables it to take a more active role in Air Seychelles' development throughout India.

The diabetes glucose monitor measures the blood sugar levels in the human body. Blood sugar is also glucose. In diabetic people, the glucose levels can reach abnormal levels. When this happens, it could pose a serious health hazard. To avoid any such complications, constant monitoring of blood levels is important. Hence, a glucose monitor is very helpful for diabetics.
Importance of the glucose monitor: If the monitor displays abnormal readings, steps occur immediately to rectify the abnormalities. It is very important to promptly act on the irregularities of glucose levels. Patients suffering from diabetes must always keep apparatus like sterile test strips, glucose monitor, finger lancets and alcohol pads. If possible, keep them at their bedside. This will help them to keep a constant watch on their diabetes.
Availability: Various kinds of diabetes glucose monitor you will find in the market are good. It is important that you select the one that is most apt for you. You must even consult your doctor to know which monitor is ideal to take your glucose readings. There are several monitors available over the internet as well. It is important that you check the features of the monitor very carefully before placing an order.
You should ideally compare the features and prices of the best monitors available and think well before making a choice. Words of advice to you here – try and buy a genuine glucose monitor. The company manufacturing it should be reputable and must be in the healthcare sector, and known for its products. The device might cost you little more than the ordinary glucose monitor might. It will assure you of precise readings and value for money.
Some monitors can store the glucose readings for you in their memory. This means that they have an internal memory, and they will store your reading. If your doctor has advised you to keep a tab on your readings, several times in the day, then it will be very convenient for you to save the readings in the device itself. In case your diabetes is at a very early stage, and it is not really required for you to test so many times a day, then you will not need an appliance with memory. Normally the glucose monitors with internal memory are a bit expensive.
1. Ensure that your hands are perfectly clean and sanitized.
2. You will need to draw a drop of blood from a fingertip or from the forearm or thighs. It depends on the kind of glucose monitor you are using. Rub this area with a cotton ball soaked in spirit.
3. Pierce with a sterile lancet. If blood oozes out, take a drop and place it on the test strip.
4. After a few seconds, the diabetes glucose monitor will display your blood sugar level.


On 16 June 2005, the University Board approved the new logo for UMB. The general theme for the logo was termed Cycles of Life. The new logo will be implemented on 1 January 2006.
[PHOTO MISSING]The design agency behind the logo is Tangram Design and designer Bjrn Rybakken, winning the competition with 28 other agencies.
The path towards the final approval of the new logo by the Board has been a long one. Starting in March, the process on the general guidelines for UMB's new visual profile commenced. By May the first outlines of the new logo were presented and discussed by, among others, a reference committee and the university management. Further work to implement the new visual profile will start after the summer and by 1 January 2006 all UMB material will comply with the new visual profile, including websites, study material, brochures, letterheads, business cards, signs, etc. Each university department will be identifiable through its own adapted version of the logo.
Thorough discussions in numerous committees have generated several ideas for a new logo. However, "life" quickly developed into a central concept, which most participants associated with the University of Life Sciences. The idea behind the symbol 'Cycles of Life' is that UMB, with its close links to the living world, deserves a logo symbolising constant change - as life itself.
The logo is based on a fixed pattern of circles (21 in the presented draft). Each circle, however, can either grow, become smaller or remain unchanged. Try computing the number of possible combinations. You'll find out that the figure is dazzling, even surpassing the age of the earth measured in seconds! Thus, the symbol also has a universal perspective. What do the logo's changing circles symbolise? There are no limitations for finding answers to this other than your imagination.
The most important role of a visual profile is to promote team spirit within an organisation. This is not only a matter of visual coherency, but also psychologically important for both staff and students. Soon, UMB will celebrate its 150th anniversary. For each of the about 53,000 days that have passed since its foundation, we can generate a unique UMB logo. Another possibility is that each student and staff member is assigned a 'personalised logo', e.g., by linking the logo's circle pattern to birthdates. Thus, each student or employee could have their own personal logo on their business cards or personal websites.
The logo and visual profile were developed by Tangram Design, a design agency with an impressive portfolio, including (to name few): BI (profile and logo), Norsk Tipping (profile and logo), Imsdal (packaging identity and name), NAF (profile and logo) and TV Norge (profile and logo). The agency was also involved in the development of visual identity and logo for several of TINE's dairy products, such as Biola, Piano, Litago and Iskaffe.
Tangram Design has also been awarded various awards for its work. Among these was the 'Classic Award' for good design, awarded by the Norwegian Design Council in 2004 for the logo developed for Norsk Tipping (Norwegian Lottery).

I am the new Head Football Coach at Pacific Lutheran University. I applied for this position as a Division III football coach with 12 years of experience at this level. I have worked for three different Division III universities under four different head coaches and have been through hiring processes for the positions that I had obtained over the course of my career, but they were nothing like going through the hiring process for a head football coaching position. This was the first head football coaching position to which I had applied. I knew that I would be a strong candidate for the position, but I also knew that there were many things about the hiring process that I had never experienced before. I am grateful that Pacific Lutheran University chose to use a search firm to find their next head football coach for many reasons.
As a first time applicant, the experience working with a search firm made it a seamless and professional one. Throughout the process, I was able to ask questions that I otherwise would not have wanted to bother the hiring institution with, and each time I received honest and professional feedback.
I believe in leaving a place better than you found it, and one of the concerns in an application process like this is for the welfare and future of the football program that I would potentially be leaving. I had the support of my current head coach, but I wanted to be able to clearly communicate what the timeline looked like so he could plan for my replacement. Early in the process, the search firm clearly explained the timeline of the hiring process and followed it all the way through, which gave me peace of mind for myself and my current employer as the process transitioned to each of the next steps.
The fact that Pacific Lutheran University used a search firm to conduct the search process showed me how serious the institution was about the position. It inherently answered questions I had about how well the head football coach and athletics would be supported by the University's administration and what type of longevity would be possible for the next head football coach.
I can say undoubtedly that my professional relationship with Pacific Lutheran University would not have come to fruition and would not be as strong as I start in this new position if it were not for the work of a search firm.
Spelman Johnson is proud to have assisted Pacific Lutheran University in hiring Brant McAdams as their Head Football Coach. To read PLU's hiring announcement, click here.
To hire or not to hire, that is the question: using a consulting firm for a national head coach search.


Stoning women is NOT in the Holy Quran, by the way Quranist Muslims are peaceful, and none of them are terrorists. All the others are Sunni Muslims, I'm not saying that all Sunni Muslims are bad, but just that those terrorist are not Quranist Muslims.
head cover for women is an obligation since the word (khimar/khimorehena) means in the Arabic dictionary ( a cover / anything that covers) and NOT a head cover in particular as Sunni Muslims claim.
marriage to more than one (except for any orphan's sake) since the man used to be the only money provider in old ages, women back then didn't really work not like today when all can depend on themselves by GOD's mercy.
About fighting verses in the holy Quran, when you read carefully the after or before these verses you'll understand that these verses are about those who fight us for our religion only.
Combine GOD's orders of fighting with GOD's orders of never to attack as GOD clearly states (DO NOT ATTACK, HE DOES NOT LIKE ATTACKERS) and also GOD's order of getting into peace as GOD says (ENTER INTO PEACE ALL) and you will get the CONCLUSION, it CONFIRMS my previous point, that fighting verses are only about those who literally fight us and torture us for our religion.
Also GOD orders in the Holy Quran to use the same weapon that the attackers used for fighting us, to fight them the same way they did.
About the tax that many claim that non-Muslims have to pay for Muslims or get killed GOD says in the Holy Quran that when those who fight us stop fighting us simply because they don not want to do that any more, at this point, GOD says that Muslims have NO POWER over them. This tax can be understood to be taken from those who used to fight Muslims but got defeated by Muslims and still living with them.
GOD also says "[60:8] GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable. As a Quranist, the only source is the holy Quran and no other, no Muhammad's sayings as those many of them were changed by bad people.
The reason why I'm Muslim because it's a natural religion; it's BASIC belief is that there is a god who is not somebody in particular and that god wants people to be good.
You can easily come up with the thought that there is a god by looking at all the creatures around you, a very natural thought which is the basic belief in Islam.

Q: Align input text fields in R Shiny I have multiple text input fields that I would like to display in 2 columns. My basic example uses, splitLayout to do this.

The names of each text input field (ie, AAA, BBBBBBB...) are fixed and known in advance. I would like:

*

*The text input fields themselves to align

*The second column of text input fields to be closer to the first column

*More space between the first and second row

Something close to:

How can that be done in R Shiny?
Basic Example
# Form fields displayed in two columns with Shiny

library("shiny")
library("shinydashboard")

ui <- fluidRow(
  box(width = 12, title = "Here is a Title",
      splitLayout(
        textInput("a", "AAA"),
        textInput("b", "BBBBBBB")
      ),
      splitLayout(
        textInput("c", "CCCCCCCCC"),
        textInput("d", "SSSSSSSSS")
      )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

A: You can use tags$table.
library("shiny")
library("shinydashboard")

ui <- fluidRow(
  box(width = 12, title = "Here is a Title",
    tags$table(
      tags$tr(

Publius Cornelius Arvina est un homme politique de la République romaine, fils d'Aulus Cornelius, de la famille patricienne des Cornelii.

En 306 av. J.-C., il est consul avec Quintus Marcius Tremulus. La deuxième guerre samnite se termine par une victoire romaine, et le Sénat romain doit décider du sort des prisonniers herniques qui ont combattu au côté des Samnites. La plupart des cités herniques déclarent alors la guerre à Rome. Cornelius Arvina est envoyé contre les Samnites qui ont détruit des forts romains, et son collègue Marcius Tremulus part combattre les Herniques. Cornelius Arvina traque les Samnites, qui se dérobent et refusent une bataille rangée. Marcius Tremulus soumet rapidement les Herniques, et se dirige vers Cornelius Arvina. Les armées romaines réunies battent les Samnites et les forcent à se réfugier dans les montagnes et à demander la paix. Tandis que Marcius revient à Rome célébrer son triomphe sur les Herniques, Cornelius Arvina demeure en surveillance chez les Samnites.

En 288 av. J.-C., il est consul pour la seconde fois. Cette année n'étant pas couverte par les historiens antiques, on ignore ce qu'il fit durant son mandat.

En 294 av. J.-C., il est censeur.

Making a buck in Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is still a delight
By Steven Messner published 24 December 20
Time to restock the shelves.
(Image credit: Carpe Fulgur)
Take a trip back through PC Gaming's past each issue with Reinstall. This time, Steven's stocking shelves and fighting slimes.
This article was originally published in PC Gamer UK 347. Why not get our glossy mag fired through your letterbox each month and subscribe?
It's undoubtedly right to assume that Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is one of the more important indie games that you've never have heard of. You see, it was the first Japanese PC game ever released on Steam, and its success helped kickstart a chain of events – including the release of Dark Souls' own hugely popular PC port – that proved there was an enormous demand for Japanese games on PC and not just consoles. Recettear's developers thought it'd only sell 10,000 copies, but instead it sold over 500,000.
You wouldn't know it by playing Recettear today, though. Ten years is a long time, especially for an indie game, and Recettear's adorable charm and engrossing loop of dungeon delving and bartering are now buried under some archaic limitations. For example, Recettear is only playable in one of four resolutions, and none of them are even close to being HD. There's no mouse support whatsoever, you can't adjust a lot of basic settings in the game (you have to launch a separate tool), and it defaults to using a bunch of nonsensical keybinds that will take a while to get used to. Ironically, playing Recettear now feels a lot like emulating a console game. I didn't mind it back in 2010 when I first beat it, and I don't mind it now. That's because the charming Recettear is an easy game to love.
Though it clearly borrows from PlayStation-era JRPG classics, Recettear isn't bogged down with a convoluted story. You play a young girl named Recette who runs an item shop alongside her friend-slash-loanshark Tear, a fairy to whom Recette's father owes an enormous sum of money. To pay down that debt, Tear and Recette must team up and turn their plain, ugly item shop into a bustling business. In 2010, this idea felt nothing short of genius to me. For years I had always played the hero and never given a second thought to the non-playable characters I found in every village and town. But Recettear is a game about all those item shop owners no one cares about. Today, that idea doesn't feel nearly as brilliant—partly due to so many other games having explored it – because Recettear also can't completely escape from the type of games it's trying to subvert.
Soon after running the shop for a few days, you unlock the ability to hire warriors to comb through dungeons and catacombs for treasure that you can sell. During these moments, which frequently take up half an in-game day, Recettear becomes a boring, basic dungeon crawler. It kinda sucks.
I didn't mind it as much in 2010, but I also think my expectations were a lot lower. But I've played dozens of dungeon crawlers since then (many of which were excellent), and Recettear's stilted combat and basic enemies just aren't exciting enough to warrant the time it takes to kill them. I'd much rather be back at the shop, haggling over the price of a wooden shield with a customer.
Even so, I'm surprised by how easily I slipped back into that routine that once kept me up at night for days on end when I first beat Recettear. Days are divided into four 'slices' and different activities, like opening the shop or visiting the nearby Guild Hall for supplies, eat up a slice. Juggling these different activities is a lot of fun and it's easy to say 'just one more day' before realising three or more hours have slipped by unexpectedly.
Using the time you do have efficiently is important, though. Every few weeks Recette has to pay down a chunk of her father's debt to Tear, which creates a surprising amount of tension. Anyone who has had to scrape together money to pay rent will know that feeling—though Recettear covers up its depressing capitalist undertones with an Animal Crossing level of charm. Even though much of Recettear hasn't aged gracefully, I'm surprised by how much I still enjoy it. It's a testament to how clever the core idea is, even if I could do without the mediocre dungeon crawling. It makes me sad that there was never a real sequel, because Recettear is quietly one of the more important Japanese games on PC.

Energy Boost. Dries Van Noten SS21
October 1, 2020 | Design & Culture by Ed
Seeing a Dries Van Noten collection not on a runway is a strange and unusual experience. But when your look-book is photographed by the one and only Viviane Sassen, it just can't go wrong. The designer himself wasn't entirely happy with missing out on the runway, but he sees good sides in it, as a sort of detox treatment. "You know how fond I was of fashion shows? The whole collection was built up around the idea of putting it on a catwalk. But this time, it was thinking about clothes for a shoot." That's a first in a 34-year career. "Because we've never had an advertising campaign. We lost things, but we learned things. It's pushing a new kind of creativity." Another first is the fact that Van Noten has co-ed his women's and men's collections into one – a process of rationalization, which was already underway before the pandemic. When you dive into the photographs – partly shot on a breezy day on a Rotterdam beach – the design symbiosis makes total sense: board shorts, Bermudas, easy cotton jackets worn by both boys and girls. "We wanted to work around beauty [that] evokes energy—not one that makes you dream or linger on things that are past, which makes you nostalgic," he says. "It had to push you to the future, to give energy." The collection's vibrant, main theme comes from work of the New Zealand artist Len Lye, whose pioneering technique of painting on celluloid film predates psychedelia by decades. "He was such a discovery for me. He started to do this in the late '20s, early '30s." Working with the Len Lye Foundation, Van Noten developed the prints that run through the collection, "psychedelic sun, sunshine and moons, light bars, and palm trees." And quite brilliant effects they are, for a designer whose innovation must always move forward through print – the attraction for his art-conscious customers – and through pragmatism. Other highlights: jackets made of "two layers of cotton [that] are foiled and slightly padded, very soft, nice to touch"; black papery cotton dresses with cutout necklines; an oversized parka printed inside and out with a new inkjet technique. Maybe this isn't the most exquisite collection coming from Van Noten, but surely a sharp and heart-warming one. "I'm quite happy," he reflected. "The limitations are not always limitations for me anymore."

Eight in 10 New Yorkers say homelessness is a major problem both locally and nationally. An overwhelming majority considers shelter to be a basic human right, and two-thirds say people are homeless because of circumstances beyond their control. Affordable housing is named as the chief concern facing New York City, and more than one-third say they feel personally vulnerable to becoming homeless.


An extremely rare Goblin Shark has arrived at the Australian Museum in Sydney – the fourth specimen of its kind now held there.
A video of the "alien-like" shark arriving at the museum has been shared, with Merimbula Aquarium aquarist Michael McMaster providing an insight into the bizarre biology of the creature from the deep.
The specimen was caught by a commercial fisher off Eden, New South Wales in water several hundred metres deep. It is a juvenile male measuring 1.26m in length.
"What makes the rarely seen Goblin Shark so unusual is its bizarre 'alien-like' jaw mechanism. As its jaws close, two ligaments are stretched," the museum said in a statement. "The act of opening the mouth releases the tension on the ligaments resulting in the jaws being thrust forward.
"One of the other weird-looking things about this shark is its long flattened snout, the lower side of which is covered with pores. These are the openings to the 'ampullae of Lorenzini', a sensory system that allows the electroreception of prey.
"Food items are believed to include fishes, octopuses, squids, shrimps and crabs. Sadly the gut of our fish was empty, so we can't describe its last meal."
Of the other three specimens held by Australian Museum, one is another juvenile and two are adults measuring 3.6 and 3.8m in length.
All four were caught off the coast of New South Wales between Sydney and Eden.
Not much is known about Goblin Sharks as they are caught so rarely. However, their appearance has earned them the nickname "living fossil". John Carlson, a shark expert at NOAA, told National Geographic: "We don't know how long they live; we don't know how often they reproduce, or even how big they are when they reproduce. They're a mystery."

Tsunami threat passes after 7.5 quake in Papua New Guinea
By AFP Mar 29, 2015 in World
A 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Papua New Guinea on Monday, sending startled residents fleeing from their homes, but a tsunami threat passed with no immediate reports of major damage.
The quake hit at a depth of 33 kilometres (20 miles), some 55 kilometres from the nearest city of Kokopo on New Britain island and 787 kilometres from the capital Port Moresby, the United States Geological Survey said.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre initially cautioned that "hazardous" tsunami waves could hit some coastal areas in PNG. It later updated its advice to say the threat had passed.
It noted a reading of waves 0.03 metres (0.1 feet) above the tide level at Tarekukure Wharf, some 450 kilometres from the epicentre. Information from coastal areas closer to where the quake struck was sketchy.
Mathew Moihoi from Papua New Guinea's Geological Observatory said officials were still unable to make contact with more remote areas to determine whether there had been any sea level changes.
"We've not been able to receive such information from the people as to whether a tsunami has been observed or not," he said.

Leonie Fakal, a housekeeper at the Seaview Beach Resort in Kokopo, said all the staff and their two guests ran outside when the quake hit.
"Everybody was a bit afraid. There was a lot of shaking and some things fell down in the hotel," she told AFP soon after the quake.
"Everyone ran outside but there was not much damage."
John Amos, a reception clerk at the Kokopo Beach Bungalow Resort, added that the quake produced a powerful jolt but there was no damage.
"It was the biggest earthquake we have experienced so far," he said.
"We had one big one and then some smaller wobbles. But we seem to be quite ok. There is no damage and it's quiet here now."
He added that staff were "keeping an eye on the beach" for any unusual ocean activity.
The initial quake was followed by a smaller 5.7-magnitude aftershock in the same area.

Geoscience Australia seismologist Jonathan Bathgate said there was a possibility of a local tsunami but based on the magnitude of the quake it was likely to be on the lower end of the scale.
"It would have been quite widely felt, certainly within 100 kilometres," he told AFP of the quake.
"It's probably not going to be damaging. Although people would have felt strong shaking... there's probably not going to be a lot of widely spread damage."
The nearest town of Kokopo, the capital of East New Britain, has a population of around 20,000. It started to grow after nearby Rabaul was flattened by volcanic eruptions in 1994.
Chris McKee from the Geological Survey in Papua New Guinea earlier said he had spoken with people on neighbouring New Ireland and that they did not even feel the quake.
He added that constructions in the area were mostly wooden and "seem to be able to soak up the shakes quite well".
Earthquakes are common in PNG, which sits on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, a hotspot for seismic activity due to friction between tectonic plates.
The last big tremor off the Pacific nation's coast was a 6.8-magnitude quake that struck Bougainville island in December.
In 2013 the neighbouring Solomon Islands were hit by a devastating tsunami after an 8.0-magnitude earthquake rattled the region. That tsunami left at least 10 people dead, destroyed hundreds of homes and left thousands of people homeless.

Statistics tell us that critical illnesses happen every day. Advances in medical science have made it possible to survive these illnesses and resume meaningful lives. Yet the cost of recovery can have serious and long-lasting financial consequences.
Critical Illness Insurance is a living benefit that pays a lump sum (tax free) benefit usually 30 days after you are diagnosed with, or in some cases have surgery for a critical illness, such as a heart attack, stroke, life threatening cancer, and paralysis or kidney failure.
With Critical Illness you have the independence to make a meaningful decision about your physical and financial recovery and protect your standard of living. Unlike Disability Insurance, Critical Illness Insurance is not based on your inability to work. You collect the full amount of coverage, even if you make a full recovery.
This lump sum can be used to: protect your lifestyle, replace lost income, keep your business going during recovery, pay of mortgage and reduce debt, make renovations to a home, protect savings and assets, or travel.
The ability to earn income is the single most important asset of any individual during their working years. A disabling injury can devastate an individual or family's financial resources. Disability Insurance is a living benefit designed to provide a monthly benefit to the insured person who is unable to work due to injury or illness. The benefit is usually paid as a percentage of income, and is paid for a specific time period after a covered illness or injury occurs and the disability continues.
Canadians are living longer today than in prior generations. This creates a larger responsibility for financing long-term care required by elderly Canadians. Funding for nursing care is not covered completely by government plans. Long-term care insurance provides a monthly benefit amount to fund the cost of nursing care, home care or the cost of incidentals such as wheelchairs or the costs of therapy. Different long-term care facilities have varying costs and charge user fees for things such as private rooms or additional services.

This sacrament is extremely important and it is our wish that you be fully prepared. In the coming months, you will journey with others and share your own experiences and questions about your faith. It is our hope that you will see Confirmation as an important commitment. This sacrament is not something you simply receive, but a sacrament you live.


In the past, the kitchen has only been a place for food preparation. Nowadays it's considered to be the heart of a home. It's not just a place of food anymore; it became the new living room, it's where families bond, conversations are made, and where your children learn to help.
Since it's an area you spend a lot of time in, it's essential for it to be functional, practical and aesthetically pleasing as well. To keep a kitchen beautiful, it needs to evolve constantly. Discover the most significant kitchen trends of 2018 that will surely bring you a few brilliant ideas that get your creative juices flowing and keep your home decor ideas from being outdated.
Smart Kitchen: Technology has taken over modern society. Homeowners these days are integrating technology into every function and appliance into their kitchens for their convenience. There are even others who build a smart kitchen from the ground.
While smart kitchens are not added for aesthetic purposes, it has become one of the most significant trends on 2018 due to its function. Nowadays, you can use home assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home to activate and control kitchen appliances and even lighting with just your voice or add motion sensors on your kitchen faucets and soap dispenser.
Smart kitchens are also able to meet your needs. You can install refrigerators with internet connections as well as give alerts when your grocery items are getting low. If you're a coffee lover, you can get a coffee maker programmed to make you coffee when you wake up.
With this design, cooking would also be a more comfortable task. For those who depend on the internet to follow recipes, you can consider a docking station or a holder for your devices.
As these technologies keep on developing, you can expect that this trend wouldn't be going away in the future.
Streamlined Designs: Since the kitchen is the center of the home, you wouldn't want it to be a stressful environment with the over complication of the interior decoration. That's why in 2018, streamline interior decoration materials become a widespread practice.
Streamlined kitchens are created to look as simple and functional as possible without compromising its appearance. A common trend is the removal of upper wall cabinets to make the kitchen appear larger and brighter. This not only allows the utilization of the counter top space. It also becomes reachable for people who have hard times with top shelves.
Streamline designs includes materials with texture. If you want to get with the trend, you can consider textured treatment to the ceilings or make the perfect focal point with sculpted, beveled, or stack back splash tiles and natural stone for floor tiles.
Quartz-Surface Counter top: While there are a lot of materials to consider for a counter top such as the popular high-end materials granite and marble, quartz remains the first choice. A high-quality quartz-surface counter top is durable, easy maintenance, and long lasting.
These days, quartz comes in all sorts of colors and finishes, giving you more creative control over your home decor materials. As far as trends go, the colors gray, cream, white and taupe are the most popular these days.
Lights in the Kitchen: Lighting is the central aspect to any good design. It can make any space look pleasing to the eye. Since a kitchen needs adequate lighting, multiple layers of light are commonly placed in the room to suit both functional purposes and design elements. Decorative fixtures, recessed lighting, toe kicks and overhangs are also among the trend.
Better Storage Solutions: Disorganization is one of the biggest problems with kitchen storage. Cabinets, shelves, and drawers shouldn't have any unused space and should be able to accommodate from smallest to largest things. That's why in 2018, unique cabinets and storage became one of the most significant trends.
With a wide range of new kitchen storage options, homeowners in corporated better storage systems into their home decor ideas including appliance garages, drawer organizers for spices, cutlery, knives, cooking utensil; as well as drawer dividers for utensils and pull-out wastebaskets, pantries, and trays.
Being able to store equipment and food in the kitchen would lessen frustrations and challenges while making cooking fun.
The Color Gray: While white is still proven to be the classic favorite color in the kitchen for 2018, the color gray is starting to catch up and could replace white as the favorite in the following year. Numerous homeowners are already getting tired of white kitchens and are now choosing gray for their cabinet colors.
Gray is often associated with dullness and boredom,but with the proper combination, you'll be able to see how fabulous your kitchen decorations could be. Unlike the fresh and clean look the color white brings to the kitchen place, the color gray brings a feeling of chic, mature, and luxurious.
Two-Toned Cabinets: As the name implies, two-toned cabinets refer to a combination of two colors painted on cabinetry to appear more stylish. Since color is creeping back into kitchens for 2018, the two-toned look is beginning to pique a lot of interest.
The reason why this is becoming more popular is that two-toned cabinetry keeps a kitchen from looking too flat and sterile. It turns the kitchen into a more attractive room that not only creates a great visual impact but also turns it into a comfortable place to spend time in.
If you're considering following the trend for your home decor ideas, remember that they should have some coordinating element. You should add a few details that would show that they belong together especially when including two distinct hues in the same space.
While kitchen trends are a great inspiration and a helpful guideline to follow, in the end how your kitchen would look like would depend on you. Your kitchen wouldn't feel spectacular without your own input. Don't be afraid to break from the norm and follow your own instincts. Design your kitchen to your liking by adjusting your decorations to your own taste and preferences.
L – Shaped Kitchen Ideas Building a house requires a lot of planning and a hell lot of patience.

For all successful projects / organizations that I have worked with this is one of the most notable characteristics. Others being (1) direct communication among the members of the working groups and between groups ( bull sessions we used to call them, Beer Friday, weekend parties, long lunches outside the office cubicle maze ), (2) extensive detailed documentation, and (3) that information easily accessible to all group members. Self-powered / self-starters smaller groups are an excellent way to get the balls rolling on new stuff. Weekly / monthly reports fed only upstream to "management" and there stuffed into a file cabinet are useless.
I worked for one organization that had established a group the sole purpose of which was to supply "Project Managers" to other groups. The hypothesis was that a generic Project Manager could successfully Project Manage anything. What a joke.
Projects working on physical phenomena and processes that are coupled in the physical domain require coupling in the models, methods, software domains, and within each of these domains domain gurus for each aspect.


How will it work? There's a lot that won't be known until it's happens as, for the first time, the state football tournament will be seeded by a committee.

Global Footprint
← Another SCITEX System bought back to Life!
Q&A with Per Lutteman (Managing Director)
Posted on by Tom Lutteman
1. How has your day been today?
Very good, I started with a cup of coffee and some cereal, you can never go wrong there. I have also been looking at quotes and discussing timelines and deadlines with clients.
2. What does APS do and what does the company mean to you?
APS mainly do control systems for the printing industry, and that's both the commercial side and the security side of printing. Traditionally we started with APS perforator, which is globally unique, and we installed them in all developed countries. Now unfortunately, the postage stamps are in decline and so is the printing industry. So, we are excited to join Control Techniques Nidec as a System Integrator partner and hopefully branch out into new industries. This will obviously be great for business, but also lead to very exciting projects as our skillsets are much vaster than just the printing industry.
3. What is the best bit about your work at APS?
The best thing about leading APS is that everyday is a challenge, which is fun, because not everyday is the same and I am constantly having to apply my knowledge and skills to different parts of the business.
4. What is the worst thing about working at APS?
Chasing payments!
5. What are your plans for APS moving forwards?
The main plan at the moment is to set up more strategic alliances and build upon existing relationships, allowing us to be more concise and efficient and work alongside very skilled partners. Similarly, when our partners need our expertise, we are here to provide it. So, it's a win-win situation for all.
6. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
Mind reading could be fun. I think I'm too old for all the other powers!
7. What are the most common challenges that you face during a project and how do you overcome them?
With every project we have had, when issues have arisen, we have been able to rectify them by taking each process one step at a time; so no problems have been insurmountable so far!
8. You have been in the industry for nearly 30 years, what has changed since you first started?
A lot has changed. In my father's era, he was working with valves, belts and pullies technology. Then it went on to transistors, then IC's and then software came out- which is when I came into the picture. So, in my time, it has changed from RS485 communication, to ethernet connectivity and now to wireless connectivity. Even screen technology has changed, from curved screens, touch screens and so the technology in all aspect is developing and will continue to do so.
9. Where is your favourite place to be on the planet?
Orba, Spain. My place in the sun.
10. Congratulations on being acknowledge as Control Techniques top Systems Integrator, how have you enjoyed working with them so far?
I am always delighted and encouraged when I visit a client, customer or partner and the people involved from the MD/President, to the Directors, Salesman and staff are tentative and approachable people that I want to work with. Control Techniques, more than any other company, has displayed these qualities and the chain of people that I can communicate with is astounding. So I think it is going to be a very successful partnership.
11. Who is your favourite artist/musician?
12. How did you get into the control systems industry?
I have always been on the engineering side with car mechanics and I was always a natural with programming too, which is why APS today is so involved on the software side.
Before I started with APS, I was testing new cars with Saab and advising them on changes they could make. Following that, I went into developing antennae for fighter jets, but I found that too much on the development side and I like getting my hands dirty. So, I moved to Farnell Electronics as a Sales Engineer and from there I joined as a partner at Micha Design. Following that, I partnered with my father at APS Engineering and that was all the way back in 1993 or 94.
13. What is the worst thing that has ever happened during a project?
We were working with a company who were moving their offices to another country. But, they lost their contract with the company and we were unable to see through the end of a really exciting project. Fortunately, things like that are very rare.
14. What motivates you to work every morning?
What motivates me is finding new ideas and areas that we can develop. Also, to push the company in a successful direction, which I try to do every day.
15. How do you work with your customers?
Very closely. Not only are we experts in what we do and what we provide, but we work closely with our customers to provide for specific requirements. Following the instillation, we keep in close contact and ensure that if any updates or changes need to be made, that we are able to keep their equipment to the highest quality.

New Patagonia Video Highlights Painful Truth Behind Conventional Down
Dale Buss
Call it the veal-calf concern of this decade: The down in many winter coats and other apparel is obtained through oppressive animal-welfare practices, and Patagonia has taken the lead in trying to right that wrong with the introduction of its Traceable Down Standard — and an explanatory video to boot.
But Patagonia has come to the rescue with its "TDS" standards, which dictate that all of the down found in its products can be traced back to birds that were never force-fed and never live-plucked. It provides, as the company said, "the highest assurance of animal welfare in the apparel industry." And TDS is notably stricter on that account, Patagonia maintains, than the "Responsible Down Standard" (RDS) developed by competitors Textile Exchange and The North Face.
"It's an animal-welfare issue," Wendy B. Savage, manager of supply-chain social responsibility and traceability for Patagonia, told Sustainable Brands. "Our birds are respected."
Most geese are grown in Poland, Hungary and China, Savage said, at operations that variously hatch birds, harvest their eggs, sell the poultry meat to food suppliers and the down feathers to apparel companies and other customers. Patagonia reintroduced down into its product line in 2002 but didn't examine where it was coming from or how it was produced.
That changed precipitously in 2010 after the 4Paws NGO called out Patagonia for animal cruelty down in its supply chain. The company got 36,000 e-mails from around the world on the issue.
"These people were calling for affidavits from our suppliers about their practices," Savage recalled, "and it wasn't an issue we knew about."
The company then dug into the issue and found that live-plucking — which produces pain and distress in birds, apparently comparable to what humans would experience if their hair were pulled out — and force-feeding, for the plump goose liver used in foie gras, were widespread in the industry. Patagonia then set to developing the highest standard for animal welfare in the business and has introduced it as TDS.
While the The North Face's Responsible Down Standard — which H&M, Eddie Bauer, Marmot and a number of other prominent outdoor apparel companies committed to just last week — strives to ensure traceability, Savage pointed out that it falls short of TDS standards in some ways. For example, TDS "goes all the way back to the parent farm" where birds are hatched to make sure those birds aren't live-plucked, while the RDS audit includes only goose hatcheries. And while RDS is scheduled to be implemented in 2017, Patagonia promises its compliance with TDS right away.

It was estimated that puberty, defined by the appearance of two pubic hairs, began in women early in the 13th year, and in men about the start of the 14th year, and for that reason maturity was regarded as beginning legally from the age of 12 years and one day in the case of females and 13 and one day in the case of males (Nid. 5:6; Nid. 52a). The rabbis reckoned religious responsibility to begin with the onset of puberty. From this period onward one was recognized as an adult, responsible for the observance of the precepts and the discharge of communal obligations. In the case of females, the rabbis delineated several distinct stages: ketannah ("minor"), from the age of three to the age of 12; the na'arah ("young woman"), for six months following the initial period; and the bogeret ("adult"), which begins at the expiration of these six months (Nid. 5:7). No such distinctions were made for the males who were simply ketannim ("minors") before 13 and gedolim ("adults") after their 13th birthday.
The attainment of the age of maturity did not automatically render one an adult, since the physical characteristics of puberty were also necessary in order to establish adulthood. However, when an examination for the signs of puberty was not made, it was presumed that a minor who reached the age of maturity had also developed the necessary signs (Nid. 46a). A young man past his *bar mitzvah is therefore counted for a *minyan even without an examination (Isserles to Sh. Ar., OḤ 55:5). A woman's maturity was deemed sufficiently established if she bore a child (Yev. 12b). In the event that signs of puberty did not appear by the age of maturity, the person retained the status of a minor until the age of 20. After that age, if signs of impotence developed, thus accounting for the absence of secondary sex characteristics, the person was considered an adult (Nid. 5:9). If such signs did not develop, the person retained the status of a minor until the age of 35, which was considered the major portion of a person's life-span (Nid. 47b).
After attaining the age of maturity, young adults were held responsible in ritual, civil, and criminal matters, and were held punishable by the courts for their transgressions or breaches of contract. It was believed, however, that heavenly punishment was not forthcoming for sins committed before the age of 20 (Shab. 89b, cf. BB 121b) and only those above the age of 20 were liable for military service (Num. 1:3) or obligated to pay the half-shekel when the people were counted (Ex. 30:14).

Life on Mars (US) cast, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA BONET, LOVE FROM FANS.,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA BONET
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Lisa Bonet (born November 16, 1967) is an Emmy Award-nominated American actress. She is perhaps best known for portraying the character of Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show and its spinoff A Different World. She played Maya Daniels on the American version of Life on Mars.
Bonet was born Lisa Michelle Bonet in San Francisco, California. Her African American father is Allen Bonet and her Jewish American mother is Arlene Litman Bonet [1]. Her parents divorced when she was young. She lived most of her life in New York and Los Angeles, where she attended Reseda High School in Reseda, California, and Celluloid Actor's Studio in North Hollywood, where she majored in acting.
Personal life Edit
On her 20th birthday, she eloped with singer Lenny Kravitz in Las Vegas. Bonet recalled of their relationship:
It was interesting when we were first finding out about each other, that our backgrounds were so similar. When I first told him my mom was Jewish, and he said 'So's my dad,' I thought that was both unusual and enchanting. I felt like, 'Okay, here's someone who really knows how it is.' And I think I trusted him a little more with my feelings and let him inside a little more than I ordinarily would have.[2]
She gave birth to daughter Zoë Isabella on December 1, 1988. She and Kravitz separated and eventually divorced in 1993.
In 1992, Lisa started dating yoga instructor Bryan Kest. They began living together but did not have a child as previously reported.
Bryan and Lisa were in a brief relationship that did not bear any fruits. The pic floating around on the net with a little boy is a the son of a mutual friend of ours. Lisa only has the two children...Zoé and her newest daughter with Jason, but is also expecting. All are well, and Jason waits on her hand and foot.[3]
It was around this time (1992) that Lisa legally changed her name to Lilakoi Moon, although she still uses the name Lisa Bonet for her entertainment career. Lisa has said that she has deliberately cut back on acting so that she could spend more time with her family.
Bonet gave birth on July 23, 2007, to her second child, daughter Lola Iolani Momoa. This is her first child with Jason Momoa, an actor noted for his roles in the television shows Baywatch and Stargate Atlantis [4]. She gave birth to her second child with Momoa, a son, in 2008.
Bonet is known for playing the role of Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show alongside Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashād, among others, but Bonet actually began acting when she was 11, attending auditions and participating in television commercials before she became well-known.
In 1987 she accepted the role of Epiphany Proudfoot in the movie Angel Heart opposite Mickey Rourke, directed by Alan Parker. Her appearance caused controversy and some scenes had to be cut to avoid an X rating.[5]
Bonet began to accept jobs on straight-to-video releases and made-for-TV movies. She changed her name legally in 1995 to Lilakoi Moon, deciding to continue using her birth name on the productions she participated in. In 1998 she had a supporting role in Enemy of the State with Will Smith. In 2000 she appeared in the movie High Fidelity. Her most recent film appearance was in Biker Boyz which reunited her with former co-star Kadeem Hardison of A Different World.
In August 2006, Bonet appeared in a week-long A Different World reunion special that aired on Nick at Nite, along with fellow co-stars Hardison, Jasmine Guy, Cree Summer, Dawnn Lewis, Darryl M. Bell, and Sinbad. Bonet co-starred in the 2006 film Whitepaddy, alongside Sherilyn Fenn, Hill Harper, Debra Wilson, Karen Black, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Bonet was also in negotiation for a role in the 2007 Coen brothers film Gambit, also starring Jennifer Aniston, Colin Firth, and Sir Ben Kingsley.
In the fall of 2008, it was announced that Lisa will make her much-anticipated return to television starring alongside Harvey Keitel in the ABC drama, Life on Mars.
She starred in The Red Road in 2014-5.
