Emerging fungal threats to animal, plant and ecosystem health.

a, b, Disease alerts in the ProMED database for pathogenic fungi of animals and plants (a), and the spatial location of the associated reports (b). c, d, Relative proportions of species extinction and/or extirpation events for major classes of infectious disease agents (c) and their temporal trends for fungal pathogens (d). Primary data sources are given in the .
a, The presence of a threshold host population size for disease persistence does not prevent host extinction during a disease outbreak, especially in cases in which a lethal pathogen invades a large host population. In a large host population transmission is rapid and all hosts can become infected before the host population is suppressed below the threshold (pathogen transmission rate, β = 0.001 per individual per day; disease induced-death rate, α = 0.02 per day; simulations start with one infected individual and N0 susceptible individuals). b, Long-lived infectious stages can increase the potential for host extinction. The fraction of hosts killed in a disease outbreak is shown as a function of the duration of the free-living infectious spore stage (pathogen transmission rate, β = 5 × 10−6; disease-induced death rate, α = 0.02; rate of release of spores from infected hosts, ϕ = 10; outbreaks initiated with one infected host in a population of N0 susceptible individuals). c, Saprophytic growth: equilibrium densities of susceptible and infected hosts and free-living spores as a function of the rate of saprophytic growth, σ. With no (or low levels of) saprophytic growth, the basic reproductive rate of the pathogen (R0) is less than 1, the pathogen cannot invade the system and the host persists at its disease-free equilibrium density. Intermediate levels of saprophytic growth allow the pathogen to invade and persist with the host. High levels of saprophytic growth lead to extinction of the host, and the pathogen persists in the absence of the host (host intrinsic rate of increase, r = b − d0 = 0.01; density-independent host death rate, d0 = 1 × 10−3; strength of density dependence in host death rate, d1 = 1 × 10−4; pathogen transmission rate, β = 1 × 10−5; disease-induced death rate, α = 0.02; rate of release of spores from infected hosts, ϕ = 10, density-independent spore mortality rate, μ0 = 1; strength of density-dependence in spore mortality rate, μ1 = 1 × 10−4). d, The presence of a tolerant host species (host species A), which can become infected and shed infectious spores can lead to the extinction of a susceptible host species (host species B). Species A does not die because of the disease, but species B has a disease-induced per-capita mortality rate of αB. Species B is driven extinct at high densities of species A. For all parameters, subscripts A or B indicate the host species. Host intrinsic rates of increase, rA = rB = 0.01; density-independent host death rates, dA0 = dB0 = 1 × 10−3; host birth rates, bA = bB = rA + dA0; density-independent death rate for species, B dB1 = 1 × 10−4; rate of release of spores from infected hosts, ϕA = ϕB = 10; αB = 0.05; spore mortality rate, μ = 1. The density of tolerant species NA was varied by varying dA1 (the strength of density-dependence in host species A), such that NA = rA/dA1.

Assistant Superintendent, Jon Garrett, said there are about 50 administrators in the academy, and about 50 who are hoping to one day become administrators.
The group met for the second time Thursday morning for a four-hour session.
"We really just wanted to make sure that we had quality people that are going to be stepping into leadership positions," Garrett explained. "Some of them already are, they're in assistant principal positions or lead teacher positions, but we wanted to make sure when principal positions came open that they were ready."
The group will meet a total of five times and will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the academy.

Closing speech by UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka at the 58th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women
CSW58, New York, 21 March 2014.
Date: Friday, March 21, 2014
[Check against delivery]
Excellencies and Distinguished Delegates,
Colleagues and friends,
These past two weeks of the 58th session of the Commission on the Status of Women have been a whirlwind of meetings, statements, side events and discussions.
There have been agreements and disagreements.
Participating in this session were delegates from Member States, representatives from intergovernmental organizations, more than 450 non-governmental organizations, and many colleagues from the United Nations.
This demonstrates the interest that Member States, civil society and the people of the world have in the matters affecting women and girls.
Let me express my appreciation to all of you—to the representatives of government, intergovernmental organizations and civil society, to my colleagues in the United Nations and also to the media for their coverage.
I would especially like to thank the Chair of the Commission for his strong leadership.
Please join me in showing our appreciation to the Chair, His Excellency Ambassador Libran Cabactulan of the Philippines.
Special thanks also go to the Vice-Chairs,
H.E. Mr Carlos Garcia Gonzalez of El Salvador,
Ms. Neli Shiolashvili of Georgia,
Ms. Christine Low of Switzerland, who facilitated the negotiations on the draft agreed conclusions, and
the Vice-Chair cum Rapporteur, Mr. Mohamed El Bahi of the Sudan.
Thank you all very much.
The priority theme, on the challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls, holds significant importance.
It has been a time for us to consider the new experience gained from the MDGs.
There is overwhelming evidence on what it would take to create a better world for women and girls, and a better world for all of humanity.
What we have achieved here is about using the evidence learned to meet existing challenges and to shape the future.
Thank you all for your work as national delegations, regional groups, like-minded groups across regions – and many of you who have shown global leadership on difficult issues.
You have raised the debate by bringing new issues and approaches forward to advance the status of women.
Many delegations have underlined the importance of addressing structural inequality, and of more fully engaging men and boys to achieve gender equality.
You have stressed the importance of engaging youth, religious and traditional leaders, and their constituencies.
This shows we all understand that women's issues are part of every aspect of life in every society, and part of every human endeavour.
During debate, a vast majority of speakers expressed support for a stand-alone goal on gender equality and women's empowerment in the post-2015 development agenda, and for mainstreaming gender equality perspectives in other goals and targets.
Delegates have called attention to the structural inequalities that need to be addressed, such as: violence against women and girls, continued gender pay gaps, women's disproportionate share of unpaid care work, low levels of women in decision-making, and the persistence of discriminatory attitudes, norms and legal frameworks that impede progress.
We also heard speakers call for greater access and participation of women and girls to education, training, science and technology, and for women's equal access to full employment and decent work.
We heard speakers reaffirm their commitment to international conventions and agreements such as:
the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women,
the Cairo Programme of Action,
the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action,
the Rio+20 outcome "The Future we Want",
Security Council resolution 1325 and subsequent resolutions on women, peace and security,
and regional agreements and conventions to protect women's rights.
We heard calls to remove reservations to CEDAW and for its universal ratification and implementation.
We heard many examples of good practice at the national level to eliminate discrimination against women and girls, of progress achieved in many of the areas covered by the MDGs, and of new laws, policies and programmes that have made a difference in the lives of women and girls.
Many of these experiences serve as inspiration of what is possible—when there is political commitment and leadership, and when we commit to the investments necessary to close the gaps.
Many speakers emphasized the importance of achieving strong and meaningful agreed conclusions that lead to concrete follow-up action.
Anything less would have betrayed the mission of our overlapping generations.
My friends,
Thank you for coming through, despite the system of negotiating at this Commission.
This process is complex and even seems—at times—to work against the Commission objective of setting global standards and formulating concrete policies to promote gender equality and women's empowerment worldwide.
Yet despite all the trials and tribulations, you have reached an agreement. I congratulate all of you!
You were able to reach consensus, to put differences aside, and to focus on the greater good for the rights and dignity of girls and women and the benefit of humanity.
The words we pronounce, write down, and adopt can make a difference.
A difference for the girls who are trafficked into sexual slavery, for the women who labour day-in and day-out without pay or recognition, or for the girls who are forced to marry as child brides.
Because we represent the world, we can make a world of difference.
So this agreement is a cause for celebration. And, most importantly, it is an action plan for implementation.
This will require political will, backed up by commensurate resources.
As the Commission rightly points out, funding in support of gender equality and women's empowerment remains inadequate.
Investments in women and girls will have to be significantly stepped up.
As many Member States have underlined, this will have a multiplier effect on sustained economic growth.
And you can count on the full support of UN Women in transforming words to action! With you as representatives of government, and with our civil society partners, whose determination in the past few days has enriched our collective resolve.
During this 58th session, in addition to the agreed conclusions, the Commission adopted several resolutions on issues such as gender equality and natural disasters, and the situation of and assistance to Palestinian women.
As we now launch into the final phase to accelerate achievement of the MDGs for women and girls, we are bolstered by the comprehensive agreed conclusions.
We need to link these efforts to the preparatory process for the review of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
We now stand on the shoulders of great women of the last centuries, who have lifted the lives of so many women before us, so that we may stand here today.
Our challenge is to set a decisive course and place the destiny of women and girls on a new course during this 21st century—a course of true equality.
Without a doubt, the evidence shows that if we advance equality for women, we will advance progress for all.
I ask you: Are we not lucky to be the generation that is taking this destiny forward? Are we not lucky to be sitting here with evidence, knowing what needs to be done?
With this agreement today, we are taking the right steps forward.
As we move towards 2015, we begin our journey together to a better future.
Today there is growing recognition that women's full and equal rights, opportunity and participation are essential for peace that is lasting, and development that is sustainable.
We cannot end poverty, inequality, conflict, or address climate change or any other major problem facing our world today, without the full and equal participation of women.
Now as we close the session, we look forward to the implementation of existing agreements, and to increased accountability.
We look forward to the next 12 months in which we envision, and will support, rising political and social mobilization.
We will rally leading up to next year's commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Beijing Fourth World Conference on Women.
We look forward to working with all of you to support urgent action to implement the Beijing Platform for Action!

Venice has fascinated me for a long time. I love to travel on water and I love hand-powered boats, and I love old cities. So I jumped at the opportunity to visit Venice, to kayak the Vogalonga and to teach at the 1st Sea Kayaking Symposium in Italy.
The annual Vogalonga is a spectacle of hand-powered craft of all kinds; gondolas, rowing barges, dragon boats and rowing sculls, canoes and kayaks, all traveling together on a 30km loop from Venice, around some of the other island groups in the Venice Lagoon and back to the "bottleneck" of the Grand Canal running the length of city to the finish line. Crowds line the bridges and waterfront restaurants to cheer the participants. With restrictions for that day on the flow of motorized craft in Venice adding to safety, given there were 1,600 craft participating in the 2008 Vogalonga, and many additional paddle-powered tag-alongs taking advantage of a "quiet day" in the city, it was still a little congested in places.
The symposium, with a few days of added events and classes mid-week, took place at Capalonga. The village campground with cabins and restaurants is sited on an island/peninsula with a sandy beachfront on the Adriatic within strolling distance of a sheltered lagoon on the other. Signs posted above the water point the direction to Venice and to Trieste, and there are side channels running through the marshes to local restaurants.
Paddling/social/sightseeing event Saturday May 30th - Sunday June 7th.
We looked for espresso... sipped Italian style, standing at the bar for that instant fix!
Back at the start a huge crowd of boats had gathered, waiting for the boom of the cannon to begin!
Some boats stood out more than others. We accompanied this elegantly dressed couple in their immaculately finished wooden gondola for many miles. They cruised along at about our own pace, while others sprinted ahead or dawdled.
Here a tired kayaker appears to hitch a ride beneath a moving roof of oars.
Giorgio suggested a small detour. Like me he loves espresso! It sounded like a good idea!
So we ducked into a narrow channel in the town of Merano, where every household had apparently painted their home a different color!
I got a sense the water wasn't as clean as it might have been... especially when I heard a toilet flush and moments later heard a gush of water from the canal wall. But at least the lagoon and canals are salty! I dip a finger for a taste.
...but there were steps for easy egress, so we tethered our kayaks.
Of course there's always one in the group who asks "Why do it the easy way when there's a perfectly difficult alternative?" Maybe it was the thrill of a possible swim?
But we all emerged onto the street dry, hungry and thirsty!
and we soon ate away more than an hour!
...and passed between the islands of Burano, the Venetian glass-making center, to cruise back to Venice. We were slightly anxious that after our relaxing lunch we might have missed the action of the finish.
But there was still plenty of action!
...and oars and paddles tangled together while tired teams attempted to keep the longer craft controlled against the flow.
Every paticipant got a medal and certificate at the finish! Kristin was full of smiles!
...and content to find a route through the narrower canals back to the car.
Of course, Venice does have an onshore life as well as a watery one. It's possible to tie up the kayaks and to wander.
The city is not huge, and from the narrow streets, squares and bridges we could glimpse the daily life that goes on despite the tourist scene.
and a barge had moored alongside the street to sell fresh vegetables. I suppose it saves a step in the delivery from field to household.
It has a flat hull with hard chines close to the sides, and a lot of rocker... rather like the shape of the bow on some of the 1970's surf kayaks I remember! But that's just the bit that sits on the water. Much of the bow and stern extend out above the water.
But such a design seems very suitable for negotiating the sharp bends in the narrow canals... and the standing pose of the gondolier with a high angle of the oar also makes sense; there's little room between the walls for a shallower angle of the oar.
And the gondolas are typically assymetrical... you can see the twist in this one. It's supposed to make it easier to manage when rowing only on one side.

Armstrong CoolZone is a highly innovative ceiling solution that will absorb energy throughout the day and then release it at night, and so keep the building at a steady, comfortable temperature.
CoolZone ceiling cassettes absorb the heat during the day and keep the room cool, with no need for AC. As the temperature drops overnight the ceiling cassettes release that stored heat and use the cool night air to change back to their solid state, leaving them fully charged to start again the next day.
Armstrong CoolZone casettes incorporates BASF Micronal phase change material and is an eco-friendly ceiling system that helps to reduce a building's energy cost and helps to improve thermal comfort.
PCM, phase-change material, is a substance that has a high heat of fusion that melts and solidifies at certain temperatures and is, therefore, capable of storing and releasing high amounts of energy. Heat is absorbed or released as the material changes from solid to liquid and vice versa.
CoolZone is especially effective for lightweight structures, that are more prone to overheating in summer, providing an effective way to maintain a pleasant temperature by absorbing heat in walls or ceilings and releasing it at the right time.
For optimal efficiency Armstrong Ceilings recommend between 30% and 50% of ceiling coverage should be reinforced by CoolZone cassettes to achieve optimal performance and the ceiling system is ideally suited to climates where the temperature drops below 20° at night.

Cheltenham Festival - Foxhunter Chase
Three miles and two-and-a-half furlongs (5331m) make the Foxhunter Chase one of the most taxing races at the Cheltenham Festival. It is an exact replica of the main event- The Gold Cup- running over
the same distance and a similar 22 fences. That it is ungraded is thus of little consequence.
The major differences are the pedigree of the competing horses and the £40,000 purse that pales in comparison to that of the Gold Cup.
The race has been in existence since 1904 and not once has its popularity dipped. It is so loved that it has earned itself the name amateur Gold Cup.
To get the Foxhunter's competitiveness in perspective, consider that not a single horse has been able to win it three times. The record stands at two wins, shared by eight horses. The four-win trainer record set by Richard barber stands to date. Colman Sweeney made it three wins for a single jockey in 2013 and still stands a chance to extend the record.

A Dallas Food Stylist Dishes On a Career Making Edible Masterpieces
Ashley Robinson got her start in food styling while in culinary school.
courtesy Amy Corley
Dalila Thomas | March 22, 2019 | 4:00am
If it looks good, it tastes good, right? That's the hope whenever we go to devour our next snack, meal or dessert. It's no secret that we eat with our eyes, which is why — especially in the age of social media — food styling is such a crucial aspect to any culinary presentation, big or small. And Ashley Robinson knows a thing or two about making food look damn good.
"Fine art was going to be my major in college," Robinson says. "And then I was like, what can I do, be an art teacher for sixth-graders? I don't want to do that."
So she enrolled in culinary school. But rather than aiming to become the next master chef or owning her own restaurant, Robinson, 32, took the food-stylist route.
The change of direction led to a great deal of opportunity for Robinson. From prop styling for Neiman Marcus to shooting with Pier One, the list of Robinson's accomplishments seems more like a scroll. And the key to making her work stand out is making it relatable.
"The thing about everything that I style is that it is made for the at-home cook," Robinson says. "It's something anyone can do with some direction."
And while taking direction from men in the food industry is the norm, that hasn't been Robinson's experience when it comes to food styling in Dallas.
"Honestly, the only food stylists I've come in contact with have been women, and very strong women at that," Robinson says. "They're not meek. You can't run over them, which I love."
Ashley Robinson

But are all the food-styling myths about motor oil on pancakes and shaving cream as whipped cream true? Forget every video you've seen online about food styling, Robinson says, setting the record straight about the reality of food styling.
"People think everything — all the food — is fake. Like we use Elmer's Glue to make burgers look good, or we use molasses instead of syrup," she says. "Maybe, like, early on in food styling those kinds of things were used, but nowadays the food is so good and green and clean that it's very easy to make food look beautiful without putting crap on it."
So what it boils down to is, which is more important: taste or presentation?
"Taste absolutely is important, because it can look good and it can still taste like shit," she says. "But I think that nowadays, with social media, people want to go to Russ & Daughters in New York not because they like lox and bagels, because of the presentation. People want to go to Noma in Scandinavia, not because they're using these crazy ingredients, but because there's components built on top of components that make it look so visually pleasing. I might not like white seaweed, but it looks beautiful, so I wanna try it."


Gwen Ifill, best known for her work on PBS NewsHour and as a vice presidential debate moderator, has died of cancer.
Ifill was most recently the moderator and managing editor of "Washington Week" and managing editor of the "PBS NewsHour."
RIP Gwen Ifill. Her voice and her way will be sorely missed.
"It is with extreme sadness that we share the news that Gwen Ifill passed away earlier today surrounded by family and friends," said PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger. "Gwen was one of America's leading lights in journalism and a fundamental reason public media is considered a trusted window on the world by audiences across the nation. Her contributions to thoughtful reporting and civic discourse simply cannot be overstated. She often said that her job was to bring light rather than heat to issues of importance to our society. Gwen did this with grace and a steadfast commitment to excellence. Our sorrow at her passing is a part of our profound gratitude for all that she did for our system and our nation."
Journalists from across the world expressed their sorrow on social media.
"Gwen was a standard bearer for courage, fairness and integrity in an industry going through seismic change. She was a mentor to so many across the industry and her professionalism was respected across the political spectrum. She was a journalist's journalist and set an example for all around her," said Sara Just, PBS NewsHour executive producer and WETA Senior Vice President.
"So many people in the audience felt that they knew and adored her. She had a tremendous combination of warmth and authority. She was stopped on the street routinely by people who just wanted to give her a hug and considered her a friend after years of seeing her on tv."
The extraordinarily timed and intelligent Gwen Ifill has passed away from cancer. I will so miss her impeccable character and friendship.
Ifill has more than 20 honorary doctorates from around the world. She graduated from Simmons College in Boston.

Q: XSD attribute for "some" elements it's going to be a long post, thank you for readying :-)
This question is from a one level up "view" from this post:
Storing meta information to class properties
We have a XSD from which we are going to generate classes from (C#/Java). So the problem is split into two different parts: Define it in the XSD, then create the datamodel from it.
We want to have some elements in a complex type to carry meta information, but just in certain x-paths in the XSD. That means that when a type is reused as a element in another complex type we want to tell the user whether it is "relevant" for something (I called it security relevant in my other post). The relevance is denoted in several levels. (That explanation also applies for the datamodel in C#/Java ofcourse)
XSD Type Example:
<xs:complexType name="Core">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="No" type="xs:int" />
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

<xs:complexType name="ComplexA">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="Info" type="Core" />
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

<xs:complexType name="ComplexB">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="Info" type="Core" />
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

The Core type has a property "No". This property can be relevant in other types. For example, it is supposed to be "relevant-level-1" in type ComplexA.Info, in ComplexB.Info it's not.
We came up with two different ways to achieve this:
1: Introduce a attribute on type level:
<xs:complexType name="ComplexA">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="Info" type="Core" />
  </xs:sequence>
  <xs:attribute name="Relevance.Info.No" type="RelevanceType" fixed="Relevance1"/>
</xs:complexType>

<xs:simpleType name="RelevanceType">
  <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
    <xs:enumeration value="Relevance1" />
    <!-- Some more relevance values -->
  </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

The attribute "Relevance.Info.No" basically tells that the property "No" in the member "Info" has the relevance type "Relevance1". This approach has obviously some drawbacks. The class generation is very complicated since we would have to manually process this attribute information. A solution for that is posted in the thread mentioned in the beginning.
2: Introduce another complex type for every property with a relevance level:

This will solve the way this "meta data" is attached to the properties, but will apperently produces a lot classes on XSD and C#/Java for every combination of relevance level within a type.
As you can imagine the problems for the creation of the datamodel on C# and Java side are very similar to the problems within the XSD. The best way would be to have XSD ready to automatically create the java classes (JaxB) and C# classes (XGen) without any other manipulation of the generated code (which I'm doing right now).
Do you see any other possibilities to achieve that?
Any help is appreciated!

A: In this case I believe you need to use inheritance. If you define one more type called CoreBase and if you Inherit this type in Core
You can use Core in ComplexA and you can use CoreBase in ComplexB
<xs:complexType name="CoreBase">
  <xs:sequence>
    ... some attributes or how ever you wish
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

<complexType name="Core">
    <complexContent>
        <extension base="CoreBase">
            <sequence>
                <xs:element name="No" type="xs:int" />
            </sequence>
        </extension>
    </complexContent>
</complexType>

<xs:complexType name="ComplexA">

Roy Hodgson: the Internazionale diaries
25/10/2019 by Luke Ginnell
Twenty years before picking Ryan Bertrand, Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana in the same line-up, Roy Hodgson had the option to field a team containing Gianluca Pagliuca, Giuseppe Bergomi, Javier Zanetti, Nicola Berti, Benito Carbone, Paul Ince and Roberto Carlos. It sounds great in theory, but the side in question, the Internazionale of the mid-1990s, weren't really up to much.
At the time of Hodgson's appointment as Inter manager in 1995, the club had been in the doldrums for a number of years and were Scudetto-less since 1989, when they had won Serie A by a record margin of 11 points (those were the days of two points for a win).
The rot had set in with a vengeance after head coach Giovanni Trapattoni left to join Juventus. Il Trap had followed up the '89 Scudetto with third place in 1990 and second place plus a UEFA Cup win in 1991, but his departure that year saw Inter fall into relative mediocrity on the domestic scene, finishing eighth, second, 13th and sixth over the next four seasons.
Only in 1993, under Osvaldo Bagnoli – he of the 1985 Hellas Verona triumph – did Inter show any real intent to challenge for the league title following Trapattoni's defection. But Bagnoli's team ultimately lost out to an AC Milan side who had lain waste to the division, with Marco van Basten and Jean-Pierre Papin taking turns at putting Serie A defences to the sword. In truth, there had been little chance of anyone seriously challenging the might of Silvio Berlusconi's super team, least of all a transitional Nerazzurri outfit.
By 1995 it was clear that the moderate domestic success of this Bagnoli-led second place was something of an anomaly in the post-Trap era. On the continental front, the UEFA Cup was won again in 1994, but this proved scant consolation to fans demanding success in the league; all the more so given Milan's thrilling Serie A and Champions League double during the same campaign. Enter Massimo Moratti, son of Angelo, whose petro-lira had helped Inter form one of the world's finest club sides during the 1960s.
"After Angelo Moratti sold the club in 1968," wrote Nicky Bandini in 2013, "Massimo dedicated himself to the family's other business concerns, eventually taking over as CEO of their energy company, Saras, when his father passed away in 1981. His support for Inter, though, never waned. He watched as the team's fortunes dipped under new presidents Ivanoe Fraizzoli and Ernesto Pellegrini [before stepping in], buying the club outright and launching himself into the task of restoring it to its former glory. He hired the Inter players he had looked up to as a youth, players like Giacinto Facchetti [and] Sandro Mazzola, to be his new directors."
Moratti became, in effect, a one-man crusade. An Interista with money to burn, he resolved to spare no expense in his quest to return his team to the summit of Italian – and European – football. It's tempting to portray him as being cut from the same cloth as Don Silvio – a profligate oligarch in search of publicity – but that would be unfair. Moratti was motivated as much by philanthropy as any tycoon can realistically be; unlike Milan for Berlusconi, Inter for him was not merely a plaything or a vote-winner. Rather, it was a cause.

Swiftly, the cash flowed out of Moratti's bank account and into the coffers of several of the world's other major football clubs. Within months of assuming control, he had brought Paul Ince and Roberto Carlos to the San Siro. Speaking in 2015, Ince recalls the transfer: "Funnily enough on the day I left [Manchester United], [Alex Ferguson] actually rang me from Colorado Springs and said 'I want you to stay'. I had Massimo Moratti in my kitchen, true story, about to sign a five-year deal for Inter Milan. [Ferguson] rang from Colorado Springs and said I've made a mistake. I said, 'No, sorry boss, I've got people in Inter Milan.' It was all done and dusted."
Not long after signing Ince, Moratti was to appoint his first manager – and, by extension, to sack his first. It was to be an experience with which the Inter chairman would become familiar as the years passed: by the time he took a step back from the club in 2013, he had presided over the coming-and-going of nineteen different head coaches.
The incumbent, Ottavio Bianchi, who had coached Napoli to Serie A in 1987 – "I didn't like him from the start", commented Diego Maradona in his autobiography – was soon shown the door, to be replaced by an ex-Bristol City manager not widely known in Italian footballing circles: Roy Hodgson.
As pointed out Sam Wallace of the Independent in 2012, Hodgson was "given the Inter job before he was put in charge of a club of equivalent standing in England." In fact, Hodgson's name had been made on the back of his fledgeling career in international management with Switzerland and a stellar career in the Swedish league during the 1970s and 1980s. He was a left-field selection, certainly, but Inter weren't in a position to be choosy: when Hodgson was hired, they were rooted firmly in the relegation zone.
So it was that Moratti's first manager, the man entrusted to be the figurehead of a bright new dawn for one of calcio's aristocrats, was an understated Croydonian who had never managed in one of Europe's elite leagues. But, importantly, Hodgson was respected by some key figures at Inter. "I got the job at Inter on the back of qualifying Switzerland for the 1994 World Cup and Euro 96," noted Hodgson. "We drew 2-2 with Italy in Cagliari and beat them in Berne, so I suppose that and also Malmö eliminating Inter from the European Cup [in 1988] had a part to play when Inter were looking for a coach, [but] in particular my very dear friend Giacinto Facchetti. I think he admired the way I worked and he persuaded Massimo Moratti to take me."
For Hodgson, a staunch advocate of zonal marking and the offside trap, the first problem would be implementing his preferred playing style within a team that was not used to it. "When I went to Italy," Hodgson told World Soccer in 2012, "they still played with a libero and they still played man-to-man. That was the Inter team I took over and one that I had to change into a zonal team … What helped me was that Arrigo [Sacchi] had already paved the way, so there was no problem for me in trying to change things."
Arrigo Sacchi was in many ways the foremost moderniser in Italian football, introducing as he did a high-tempo, pressing style. It was a tactic that revolutionised Serie A in the late 1980s and early 1990s, becoming the hallmark of Sacchi's Milan and, later, the Nazionale he led to the final of the 1994 World Cup. Hodgson had found comparable levels of success while employing a similar strategy in Sweden, where he and Bob Houghton had, much to the chagrin of many locals, pioneered the use of what was to become known there as the "English" style. (Sacchi, too, had faced opposition to his innovations). Hodgson wasted no time in applying these ideas at Inter, despite initial misgivings.
"I'd been afraid, for example, that Beppe Bergomi wouldn't take to my coaching," Hodgson said later. "He'd won the World Cup and all his life been a man-to-man marker. I wanted him to mark zonally – and play at right back. But he was very receptive."

Come the end of the 1995/96 season, Inter had recovered enough to finish seventh, in no small part thanks to 17 goals from Marco Branca, who had been signed halfway through the campaign. Within two years, Branca would pitch up at then second-tier Middlesbrough and help fire them to both a League Cup final and promotion to the Premiership.
Hodgson had pulled through, transforming a team battling relegation into one good enough to make the European placings. In doing so, he had succeeded in bringing a modern tactical approach to the club and shaking off the more "traditional" methods implemented by Trapattoni, Bagnoli, et al.
But by the start of the following season, he was already under pressure from an unsympathetic press who doubted his ability to manage the expectations of the chairman and his superstar signings, who were beginning to arrive in their droves. Indeed, it is Hodgson's indecision regarding one of those big names, the Brazilian left-back Roberto Carlos, that even now colours his memory in the eyes of many Inter fans.
According to Simon Kuper in The Football Men, Hodgson, during his first year at Inter, "practically forbade [Carlos] to cross the halfway line". Kuper's words are perhaps unfair – and not entirely reflective of Hodgson's philosophy – but it's unquestionable that when considering Carlos for a place in his team's back four, the Inter manager cared little for the forward-thinking intent of one of the greatest attacking left-backs the world has seen. For Hodgson, Carlos was a liability, a player whose individual flair and supposed tactical ill-discipline could tilt his team fatally out of defensive sync.
So Carlos was tried elsewhere. In a match against Bari in January 1996, for example, as described by Rory Smith in The Blizzard, "Hodgson named five full-backs in his two banks of four, one of them, Roberto Carlos, in central midfield."
But it wasn't just in midfield that Carlos found himself selected. "[Hodgson] played me up front because he wanted a system of four defenders," he told Guillem Balague in 2014. "So I spoke to Massimo Moratti and said to him, 'Please have a word with the manager and ask him to play me as a left full-back'. And at the same time, Fabio Capello arrived (at Madrid) … He said he wanted me at Real Madrid because he had seen me playing up front and he liked what he saw because he saw a role for me [as a left-back] in the system he was playing".
And so it was that barely a year after coming to Italy, the little Brazilian was gone; off to Spain for a decade of fame and success. "Of all the walking reproaches to Inter's transfer policy, Carlos remains number one", states Kuper.
And in many ways, the transfer has also become the defining aspect of the Hodgson regime at Inter, a faux pas on the Englishman's part that still has not been forgotten by Interisti. Or by Carlos himself: "It's not that I did not have a good relationship with Hodgson. It is just that Hodgson doesn't know much about football", he is reported as having said several years later.

Yet there is little denying that Hodgson helped Inter to progress in the immediate aftermath of Moratti's takeover, both tactically and in terms of their league position. After ending up in seventh place in 1995/96, Inter climbed onto the podium in Serie A in 1996/97 with a third-place finish. It was their best performance since 1993, and there were signs that the club was beginning to claw its way back into the upper echelons of Italian football.
There was even another chance to experience non-domestic success, albeit once again in Europe's second-tier competition, the UEFA Cup. Hodgson's team had progressed through the tournament with relative ease, and were expected to beat Schalke 04 in the two-legged final.
A late goal from Iván Zamorano in the home tie had cancelled out Marc Wilmots' first-leg strike for the Germans, but Inter were unable to overcome their opponents in the resultant penalty shootout. Zamorano and Aron Winter missed the decisive spot-kicks, consigning Hodgson to a somewhat ignominious, trophy-less exit as Inter coach (although failure in the final is surely offset by the fact that it was Hodgson's turnaround of the club's fortunes in 1995/96 that allowed them to qualify for the competition in the first place).
The solid if unspectacular upward mobility of the previous 24 months had not culminated in silverware, and soon after the final he returned to England to manage in his home country for the first time since 1982. "There was a lot of respect for Hodgson in Italy for the way he behaved, and for the fact he arrived already being able to speak Italian," said James Richardson in 2012. "But in terms of his reputation, he was remembered for the UEFA Cup final loss, and the Roberto Carlos sale happening on his watch.
"It wasn't seen as a great loss when he left for Blackburn, as the feeling was that he'd done alright but that it had all run its course. The average football fan in Italy doesn't look at Hodgson as a genius, they think he was a decent enough coach who ultimately made a couple of big mistakes. I can't remember any fantastic Inter performances during that era, and people always think of Roberto Carlos when they think of Hodgson in Italy".
To do so is to discount the stabilising effect Hodgson had on a troubled club, but it doesn't seem unfair to suggest that with the players at his disposal, he could have done better, particularly in Europe. Two seasons of reconstruction were all well and good, even admirable, but Moratti and the Interisti wanted more, and Hodgson was unable to deliver.
The Inter supremo had ambitions beyond third place in the league and a UEFA Cup runners-up medal, and no longer saw Hodgson as the man to help achieve them. He may have been right, but it would take another decade – and nine more managers – for Inter to finally win back the Scudetto. For his albeit modest achievements in helping set them on the right path, Hodgson deserves recognition.

1947 was quite a year for Dracut High School
Posted by RAD on September 30th, 2017
Since 1934 Dracut High School has been the center of student life in Dracut. While today's students spend their days in the newly refurbished building on Lakeview Avenue, 70 years ago students attended Dracut High School on
1947 Dracut High cafeteria
Greenmont Avenue. In 1928, the Greenmont Elementary School was built under Superintendent Charles Randall. It was used as an elementary school until 1933-34 when it was converted to Dracut's first high school. It originally opened as a two-year high school with the students finishing their Junior and Senior years at Lowell High School. It became a four-year High School and the first class graduated in 1936. But what the students 70 years ago could not have known was 1947 was going to be a significant and memorable year for the high school.
On July 22,1947, the School Committee voted to hire a new Superintendent, Paul Phaneuf, to replace Dr. Garland Russell who left Dracut to become
Superintendent Paul Phaneuf
superintendent of the Westboro school district. Born on April 14, 1914 to Horace and Lucienne Phaneuf in Nashua, NH, Paul Phaneuf graduated Holy Cross in 1935 and then earned his Master's from the University of New Hampshire. He completed some more graduate work at Boston College, Boston University, and studied at the Sorbonne in Paris during the summer of 1939.
After completing his studies, Phaneuf accepted a position teaching French at Dracut High School and then left Dracut to teach at Nashua High School. While at Nashua, he took a military leave of absence in 1942 and was commissioned as an ensign in the Navy. He served in the European Theatre for 18 months and returned home in 1945. Upon returning from the war, Phaneuf was appointed as the Educational Services Officer for the First Naval District which was headquartered in Boston. In 1946, he was appointed by the Navy to supervise the construction of the Naval Reserve Armory on Varnum Avenue in Lowell.
After several years serving in the Navy, Phaneuf was elected to become the superintendent of the Dracut Public Schools. He was 1 of 10 candidates to interview for the position. There were 22 applicants in total. Phaneuf was selected over fellow finalists Frank Turner f Newton and George H. Englesby, Jr. of Dracut.
Phaneuf served as Dracut's Superintendent until 1962 when he left to serve as Malden's Superintendent. But while in Dracut, Phaneuf oversaw significant changes in the Dracut Public Schools. Most notably the new Dracut High School was built on Lakeview Avenue. He also hired many of the people who would later become icons at Dracut High School and the school department's administration—Christos Daoulas, William F. O'Neill, Martin Garry, and Maurice Pepin. George H. Englesby, Jr. served as acting Superintendent while Phaneuf took a leave of absence to serve in the Korean War.
The other significant event at Dracut High School in 1947 was the revitalization of the football program. Seventy years ago, things were very different for the Dracut High football team than they are now. In 1947, the

team practiced on the Pleasant Street field, uniforms were hard to come by, Dracut students were not called Middies, athletics had been suspended during World War II, and the football team had a rookie coach beginning his second year at the helm at Dracut High School—Edmund Murphy.
But 1947 would turn out to be quite the year for the Dracut High School football team. The team would go on to be undefeated and unscored on. The team won the Suburban League Championship (similar to the Merrimack Valley Conference Championship today) and made all of Dracut very proud. It was the beginning of an iconic tenure for Ed Murphy as head football coach.
Much has happened in the Dracut Public Schools during the 70 years since Paul Phaneuf was hired as Superintendent and Ed Murphy revitalized the football program. But what remains is a proud and successful academic and athletic program in Dracut which had its beginning in 1947.

Bill O'Neill says:
Wonderful article, as always. My mother and father always spoke so fondly of Mr. Phaneuf. In sorting through some of my late father's papers recently, I came across a personal note from Mr. Phaneuf to my father on the occasion of Dad's appointment to the role of Acting Superintendent of Schools in Dracut in 1968. It was a typed note on Malden Public Schools letterhead which simply read, "Dear Bill, Congratulations" and signed simply, "Paul". Dad kept that note nearly 50 years among his most treasured documents.

Hasn't the communist movement produced dictatorial figures like Stalin?
April 26, 2017 Communist dictatorial figures movement produced Stalin
A The widely promoted demonization and lies about Stalin stand in the way of gaining a real understanding of the historical role that he played and the great accomplishments of the Soviet Union. After Lenin's death in 1924, Stalin assumed leadership—and in the decade that followed, the Soviet Union was an exciting and emancipatory society. Stalin led the struggles to carry out collectivization of agriculture and to socialize the ownership of industry. The revolution created a socialist economy based on public-state ownership, social cooperation, and conscious planning. This had never been done before. Throughout Stalin's leadership, the Soviet Union faced incredible pressures: counterrevolution, encirclement by hostile imperial powers, and invasion by the Nazis during World War 2. Stalin led people to stand up to this. But Stalin also had real weaknesses. For example, as the revolution came under greater pressure in the 1930s, he relied less and less on the conscious activism of the ma

The Netherlands beaches are to the north and west facing the North Sea; this may not sound too 'exotic', but if you are looking for some un-crowded beaches that aren't packed with tourists; this is the place to come. The Dutch love their coastal region, so you will find plenty sites suitable for motorhome rental and campervan hire. Here in the Netherlands beach doesn't just mean coastal, there are also lake beaches to discover too. Here's just a few of the best coastal beaches in the region.
The largest of the Wadden Islands, Texal is a 30 minute ferry crossing from the mainland at Den Helder. All along the North Sea coast you will find excellent beaches with facilities such as catamaran sailing, family beach activities and even a spot for nudists. The 'high point' of a visit here is the Loodmansduin dune which is 30 meters above sea level and is backed by a nature reserve and the Cocksdrop lighthouse. If you want a break from all that sand visit the Ecomare seal centre, the beachcomber museum or the harbour in Oudeschild; crammed with yachts and small fishing vessels.
Another of the Netherlands best beaches is on another of the Wadden islands, Ameland. Ameland's best beach is just over 27km long and separated from the town by a long line of sand dunes and another lighthouse! The Ameland lighthouse is 59 meters tall and for some great views climb the 118 steps to the top.
For a trendy beach head for Bloemendaal aan Zee; a popular resort in North Holland. The beach has some great nightlife and restaurants, the pavilions along the beach offer some great photo opportunities. There are two very good sites for visitors with motorhome rental or campervan hire, as well as somewhere to buy provisions and lots of opportunities for shopping.
The Zeeland coast around the resorts of Cadzand, Cadzand-Bad and Nieuwvliet-Bad are great places to base your stay for a few days. There are lots of places to discover and the architecture here is reminiscent of around the Acropolis at night!
Right in the heart of 'bulb' country is Noordwijk and is nicknamed the 'floral seaside resort'. This is where the Dutch national football team stays when preparing for matches. There are some wonderful beachside places to stay along the 13km stretch of palm lined beach.
Visitors will be amazed at the opportunities for enjoying time on the beach in the Netherlands, and with a motorhome rental or campervan hire the opportunities for staying right on the beachfront without paying high hotel bills is a real bounus.

Though South Africa is far from Bolivia's record of having the most number of official languages (that's 30 official languages for Bolivia), South Africa is probably in the top five. The country has 11 official languages recognized by its Constitution. Why is this so? Most likely for the simple reason that South Africa is a very diverse country in terms of its people and culture.
South Africa sits at the southernmost tip of the African continent. It is bordered by the Indian and Atlantic oceans as well as by the countries Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Swaziland. South Africa, which is formally referred to as the Republic of South Africa, is populated by multiple ethnicities with diverse languages and cultures. Almost 80% of the country is made up of black Africans. The country also has large European and Asian (mostly Indian) communities. Due to the long history of the country, there are communities of racially mixed ancestry that call South Africa their home. Of the 11 official languages, two have been traced back to European languages.
Afrikaans, previously known as Cape Dutch, originated from Dutch dialects of the 17th century making it one of the two official languages with a European origin. In its linguistic evolution, Afrikaans has adopted several words from Bantu languages (spoken in areas of east, central and southern Africa), Khoisan languages (spoken by southern African ethnic groups) and from Malay and Portuguese. But the bulk of Afrikaans is 90% to 95% Dutch in origin.
Native Afrikaans speakers comprise 13.35% of the population (almost 6 million people) based on the 2001 census. This makes it the 3rd most used mother tongue in South Africa. With its wide racial and geographical distribution, this West Germanic language is widely understood and spoken by members of the population who speak a different mother tongue. Apart from South Africa, Afrikaans is also spoken in Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana.
After the Dutch, the British ruled South Africa. The Cape was seized in 1795, thwarting the advances of the French. In 1803, the Dutch once more gained control of South Africa. But by 1806, the British were back once again. The British brought with them their language, English, the second language from Europe.
English, also a West Germanic language, is the language of business, commerce and government. It is a subject taught in all schools and used as a medium of instruction in a number of educational institutions. But even so, in a 2001 census, only a mere 8.2% (3.67 million) of the South African population speak English.
Just like in other countries that have adopted English as part of their language pool, South African English has words and phrases that cannot be found in British English or American English. These South African English words came from other languages and dialects of Africa like Afrikaans. South African English also has words coming from Indian languages.
The Ndebele language is classified under the Bantu languages, specifically with the Nguni group. There are several variants of the Ndebele language. The South African Ndebele or IsiNdebele, which is spoken by the amaNdebele (South African Ndebele people), is considered closer to the Zulu language. A tonal language, Ndebele speakers in South Africa constitute only about 1.6% of the whole population based the 2001 census. Ndebele is heard in the provinces of Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and the Northwest region.
There are several names by which Northern Sotho goes by. Northern Sotho is the English name; Sesotho sa Leboa is the name of the language among its indigenous speakers. Northern Sotho also goes by the names Pedi and sePedi. As of the 2006 census, there were 4.1 million Northern Sotho speakers in South Africa. This figure is not far from the 2001 census. In fact, the number of speakers of this language is higher back in 2001 with 4.2 million people, representing 9.39% of the South African population back then. Northern Sotho is spoken in the Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Gauteng provinces. It is the 4th most common South African language.
Southern Sotho is sometimes referred to as Sesotho, Southern Sesotho, Suto, Souto, Suthu, Souto or Sotho language. It is the most spoken language in the Free State, which is located right at the border of Lesotho. Southern Sotho is also spoken in the province of Gauteng and in the North West. In the Kingdom of Lesotho, Sesotho is one of its official languages together with English. The 2001 census in South Africa puts the number of speakers of Southern Sotho to 7.93% of the total population, which is roughly 3.5 million. It is also the 2nd or 3rd language of part of the population in Johannesburg as well as Soweto and Tshwane.
Also known as Swati, sisSwati or isiSwazi, Swazi is one of the Bantu languages spoken in South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho and Mozambique. According to the 2001 census, approximately 1.19 million people (2.7% of the population) in South Africa speak the language. Most Swati speakers are found in the area of eastern Mpumalanga at the border of Swaziland. Other speakers are in Gauteng province. In the Kingdom of Swaziland, Swazi and English are the official languages. Swazi is related to other Bantu Nguni languages like Northern Ndebele, Xhosa and Zulu, which are official languages in South Africa.
The other name for Tsawana is Setswana. Spoken by 8.2% (3.67 million) of the South African population as stated in the census of 2001, this language is a Bantu language that serves as one of the two official languages of Botswana (English is the other). Tswana speakers are also found in Namibia and Zimbabwe. In South Africa, most Tswana speakers are in the North West, which borders Botswana. It is also spoken in the following areas: Northern Cape, Gauteng and Free State. A number of Shakespeare's works have been translated into Tsawana.
The number of Xitsonga or Tsonga speakers in South Africa according to the census of 2001 is about 1.9 million or 4.44% of the population. Many of the Tsonga speakers can be found in the area of the Limpopo River Valley. Gauteng and Mpumalanga are the other provinces where you can find Tsonga speakers. Tsonga, at one time or another has been referred to as Tonga, Thonga, Shitsonga, Shangaan and Shagana. Outside South Africa, it is spoken in some areas of Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Tshivenda, Chivenda and Luvenda are the other names for this Bantu language. The Venda people speak it. The number of native speakers counts for a minority compared to speakers of the other official languages. The 2001 census shows that roughly 1 million South Africans, representing 2.3 % of the total population, speak the language. Most of these Venda speakers are in the Limpopo province while others lived in Gauteng. Venda speakers are also present in Zimbabwe.
Both spoken in South Africa and Lesotho, in 2001, the number of Xhosa speakers in South Africa registered at 7.9 million (17.64% of the population). A 3rd of its native speakers are in the Eastern Cape. Others are in the Western Cape, Free State, North West and the province of Gaunteng. Xhosa, a Bantu language, uses the Latin alphabet in its written form. It is similar to Zulu. Alternate names for Xhosa are Xosa and Koosa.
The 2001 census states that 23.8% of the total population of South Africa speaks Zulu or Zunda. That translates to roughly 10.67 million inhabitants. Among all the languages spoken in South Africa, Zulu is the most common. This is because the largest ethnic group in the country is the Zulu people. The Zulu nation rose into renown back in the earlier part of the 19th century. In Zulu, the language is referred to as isiZulu. This language is widely understood within South Africa and spoken in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Lesotho and Swaziland. It is present in all the provinces of South Africa in varying degrees of usage. In 2005, more than 50% of the population understood Zulu language.
Going by the 2001 census, the most widely spoken language among the 11 official languages of South Africa is Zulu, followed by Xhosa and Afrikaans.
Below are several unofficial languages recognized by the South African nation. These are used officially, although in a limited capacity, in places where these unofficial languages are somewhat widespread.
The number of official and unofficial languages (and dialects) spoken in South Africa attests to its rich culture. Different communities make up the nation of South Africa, making it a fertile melting pot of ethnic groups. Hopefully, as the population of the country grows, so does the number of people who can speak more than two of the official languages. Globalization, as it creeps into South Africa and the other African nations, can have a negative effect on the different native African tongues. The African people should protect their culture and languages, preserving them for future generations to come.

Q: Adding dates to feature collection that work with ee.Filter.calendarRange I'm using Google Earth Engine in Python, but I'm guessing this problem is not specific to Python. I want to use ee.Filter.calendarRange on a feature collection. I was successful at using ee.Filter.calendarRange for an image collection from images stored on the server. I think I need to use ee.ImageCollection.getRegion to avoid doing computations on entire images. So, I am taking the output from getRegion and creating features from it that I'd like to do the computations on. The problem is that I don't know how to set feature dates in such a way that can be understood by ee.Filter.calendarRange. I get EEException: Collection.filter: Can't apply calendarRange filter to objects without a timestamp..
I have an example code that creates 10 dates from Jan 1 to Jan 10, 2010 with "data" values from 0-9. I would like to create a feature collection with just the feature from Jan 3.
def make_fts( val ):
    date = start_date.advance( ee.Number( val ), 'day' )
    ft = ee.Feature( None, {'system:time_start': date, 'data': val} )
    return ft

fake_vals = ee.List( [ee.Number( num ) for num in range(10)] )
start_date = ee.Date( '2010-01-01' )
fc = ee.FeatureCollection( fake_vals.map( make_fts ) )
day_ee_num = ee.Number( 3 )
day_filter = ee.Filter.calendarRange( day_ee_num, day_ee_num, 'day_of_month' )
day_three_fc = fc.filter( day_filter )

A: You need to store the date as an integer in milliseconds since 1970. You can convert it using .millis().
ft = ee.Feature( None, {'system:time_start': date.millis(), 'data': val} )

Stories about Sally Hawkins
'The Shape of Water' is meant to sweep you off your feet, make you cry and applaud, but that never happened
Few filmmakers are as good at exploring the magical and the whimsical as Guillermo del Toro. At 53, the Mexican visionary has established himself as one of the most distinctive artists in Hollywood whose obsession with monsters, spirits and ghosts can pretty much be seen in all of his films. What makes his films unique though is the maturity with which he treats and explores these fantastical elements and how often times they serve as a canvas for del Toro to explore weighty themes like loneliness, acceptance, love and outsiders finding their purpose in the world. Del Toro's latest film The ...
Silly, zany and utterly delightful, Paddington 2 is a masterclass of children films
It has been over half a century – 61 years to be precise – since Michael Bond found a lone teddy bear on a shelf in a store near Paddington Station on Christmas Eve. The lovable stuffed toy went on to inspire one of the most celebrated children's book series of all time (starting with a volume in 1958 and ending in 2017 with the author's death). His stories have now led to a delightful film series that proves Paddington's adventures remain as relevant as ever. The latest big screen instalment in the series, Paddington 2 – the sequel to ...

The Shape of Water: A quirky and twisted spin on Beauty and the Beast that screams spectacular
When it comes to bizarre, peculiar or quirky, there is one man you can truly trust – Guillermo del Toro. He is one of the great idiosyncratic talents of contemporary cinema, and he is one man with a penchant for twisted. The way he mixes fairytale imagery with the grotesque to create spellbinding cinema is something that only he can conjure. The Shape of Water is the latest in a line of surreal fables created by this master auteur (Crimson Peak, Pacific Rim). Set against the backdrop of the Cold War era, the plot of the movie revolves around the lonely Eliza (Sally Hawkins), a deaf and mute ...
Why Godzilla (2014) is one of the best summer blockbuster movies yet
This movie has been a long time coming. Brought to you by Legendary Pictures – the same studio that brought another monster-kaiju movie last year, Pacific Rim – Godzilla hits all the right chords for everyone, whether it is the die-hard Godzilla fan or the casual movie goer. Unlike the 1998 box office failure of the same name, this movie remake can stand on its own two feet; it has a back-to-basics approach that gives the origin story of the monster and then some. While paying homage to the original cult classic of 1954, Godzilla (2014) builds on a more realistic story arch that makes the whole notion of such a behemoth ...

Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine is not worthy of a Golden Globe
As I sat in a cosy small Indie cinema in the dark waiting for the film to start, I was struck by the strangest sense of déjà vu… 'Will this be another lack lustre Woody Allen film or a hidden gem?' It's quite easy to deduce that now. Source: IMDb Woody Allen has been working in the film industry for almost 50 years now, but the past decade has seen a distinct decline in the ingenuity of his films. The characters are not as fresh and insightful as they were during his early years and most critics believe that his 'stammering, ...

The Cat's Sense of Smell
Skye December 10, 2020
Smell is an essential sense for a cat's survival. Used on a daily basis, it is used to communicate and perceive the information surrounding it.
Inseparable from taste, this sense is particularly developed in felines, a little more than in dogs and up to 40 times more than in humans!
Find out everything you need to know about the cat's sense of smell with our comprehensive guide.

4 The Cat's Sense of Smell: The Conclusion
The Cat's Nose
If we speak of the nose for the man, we speak of the truffle for the cat, as for the dog.
Not only is our feline's little nose adorable and gives us uncontrolled desire for kisses, but it is also and above all an essential and fabulous instrument.
The cat's keen sense of smell is used to recognize (good food from bad) and to communicate (with other cats).
Indeed, a cat keeps his pretty meows mainly for us humans.
Apart from fights, periods of reproduction and "conversations" between mothers and kittens, the network most used to pass messages between cats, and to decipher them, is smell.

The cat's smell is related to the sense of taste. Indeed, the cat needs to smell the dishes and the objects around him to know if he can eat them or if they represent a danger.
It is thus a safety device which comforts the cat when the smell suits him. As a result, any odor he doesn't like causes him to walk away.
The cat's nose contains a multitude of Bowman's glands. These produce secretions when needed, just like our sweat glands. The mucus produced moistens the cat's nose and helps him better perceive the odors around him.
So, if your cat has a wet nose, this is in no way related to his state of health, contrary to what we tend to believe.
It is moist when he searches for food and is therefore on alert, when he is hungry or when he detects a pleasant smell in his surroundings.
Conversely, when his nose is dry, he is still in good health. It just means that he is sleeping, relaxing or digesting his meal; it is therefore not stimulated in an olfactory way.
The Importance of Smell in Cats
Smell is a very important sense for cats in their daily life.
Their nose is used to communicate, to indicate a preference, to delimit their territory and that of others, to detect danger, to identify an enemy or a prey, to find a female in heat, etc.
How Does the Cat Use his Sense of Smell?
Cats have a much better sense of smell than humans and dogs. They have nearly 200 million olfactory cells, compared to 150 million for dogs and only 5 million for humans.
Associated with Bowman's glands, these scent cells allow cats to perceive scent stimuli that we are unable to sense.
Thanks to the mucus secreted from their nose, they can perceive the smells around them 50 to 100 times better than us!
Jacobson's organ, or vomeronasal, located in the vault of the palate, in the nasopalatine canal of the cat, also participates in this outpouring of scents; it concentrates the odors in two small pockets located at the level of the cat's nasal cavities in order to better analyze them.
It is why your cat can sometimes roll up his lips. This action allows him to direct the smells from his nose to his mouth to better interpret them.
What Is the Use of the Cat's Sense of Smell?
If the sense of smell is so developed in cats, it is because it is a sense linked to their survival.
The main tool for communication and understanding the world around him, smell allows him to identify what he can eat.
As a result, a cat that loses his sense of smell, either totally or partially, risks becoming anorexic, because he will no longer be able to identify his food.
The smells have a special meaning for the cat. Thus, if certain scents tend to appease him or on the contrary to irritate him or push him to play, the animal is also able to detect atmospheric changes or the presence of a disease or a malaise in humans.
Cats with a flat muzzle are generally at a disadvantage when it comes to smell, and the smell is often much less developed. It can sometimes even be very attenuated.
However, these cats are still able to perceive olfactory stimuli and smells that are imperceptible to humans.
What Does Kitty Say when he Rubs Himself?
The "friendly" cats rub their heads and noses to greet each other or to strengthen their emotional ties, sometimes they even lick each other (like the mother cat and her cubs).
By extension, when Kitty rubs shoulders with us in this way, it is also to tell us his affection and his well-being by our side.
This is called allo-marking: Kitty deposits familiarization pheromones on us, on another small feline, a dog, which soothe him and establish an emotional bond between the congener or the human and him.
Rubbing on his passageways or objects also allows our little companion to mark out his living space, to inform others that he has passed by here and to recognize his home.

What Does Kitty Say when He Scratches or Does a Little Wee on the Walls?
Urine, feces and scratches leave both visual and olfactory marks for other cats, they let them know who is the host. Kitty says "I've been there, it's here at home".
By clawing supports which are most often vertical, our feline does not only sharpen his charming claws, he also leaves pheromones secreted by the glands located between his pads.
The cat's urine also contains information of a sexual nature which informs the status of the male and the female: the female says "I am in heat", and the male answers "I am not neutered, I can make babies".
It is more often the unsterilized males who carry out this type of marking when there are females in heat around.
By recognizing his world and his friends, the cat is at peace and can say to himself "I feel at home".
Moreover, when he is stressed and he will need to find serenity, you will undoubtedly see these behaviors increase.
What Smells Do Cats Like?
Like humans, cats like some scents and dislike others. As we have discussed, odors influence the behavior of the cat, which can feel happy, calm, serene, excited, playful or irritated.
Smells Appreciated by Cats
The smells of good humor: cats particularly like the smell of catnip, which is more or less euphoric on their character. Some are particularly excited just by sniffing it for a few moments.
The smells of play and interaction: Cats generally appreciate mineral and vegetable smells. Scents like olive, mint or nutmeg tend to please them and encourage them to play.
The smells of serenity and tranquility: Lavender and vanilla are known to soothe the cat.
The smells of territory marking: certain essences such as thyme or rosemary encourage the cat to mark its territory by scratching the supports or by chewing on objects within reach.
The smells of good health: as in humans, eucalyptus is renowned for its refreshing virtues in cats. It helps them breathe better and resist cold snaps.
Smells that Cats Hate
The smells of aggression: cats do not like the strong smells of orange and citrus in general. These tend to irritate their sense of smell and make them aggressive.
Avoid all citrus essential oils and lemon or orange scented cleaning products.
However, lemon is very handy for preventing your cat from urinating where he shouldn't and from going where it shouldn't. A very practical natural repellent!
Bad mood odors: strong or tangy odors such as vinegar, onions or toothpaste are not very tolerable for your animal.
Avoid contact with them, as you risk driving them away from you.
How to Take Care of my Cat's Nose and Smell?
Smell is an essential sense for a cat's survival, which is why it is important to take care of it, especially with age, as it tends to deteriorate.
If the cat does his daily grooming alone, he may need help cleaning his muzzle, which tends to clog easily.
The role of his nostrils is to filter the air he breathes and to retain dust and impurities present in the environment. Cleaning them regularly helps the cat to breathe properly and promotes good health.
Your cat's nose should be gently cleaned using suitable products. A soft cotton and physiological serum are enough to remove the classic natural flows.
On the other hand, if you detect abnormal discharge or an obstruction of the nostrils, consult the veterinarian so that he prescribes you an appropriate treatment.
For classic cleansing, do not apply any product to your cat's nose and do not stick any cotton swabs into it. Simply wipe off excess dirt in a gentle gesture.
Get him used to it from an early age, the procedure will be much easier.
