Labour Force December 2016
Labour force figures released today by the ABS show that seasonally adjusted employment rose by 13,500 in December, to a record high of 11,985,900.
Full-time employment rose by 9,300 in December to stand at 8,176,500. This follows strong increases in full-time employment of 85,700 in the previous two months. Part-time employment increased by 4,200, to 3,809,500.
The labour force participation rate rose by 0.1 percentage points, to 64.7 per cent in December.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate also rose slightly over the month, by 0.1 percentage points, to 5.8 per cent, as more Australians were encouraged to look for work in December.
The youth unemployment rate declined by 0.4 percentage points, to 13.3 per cent in December 2016.
Minister for Education and Training, Simon Birmingham, said today's figures demonstrated the resilience of Australia's economy in the face of global headwinds.
"Since the Coalition Government came to office in September 2013, more than half a million jobs (519,300) have been created – an increase of 4.5 per cent," Minister Birmingham said.
"Today's jobs data demonstrates that despite global headwinds our economy remains resilient, recording the third consecutive month of strong growth in jobs, particularly in full-time jobs.
"The economic transition in the Australian economy continues to pose a challenge and we recognise there are around 740,000 Australians who remain unemployed.
"The Turnbull Government's focus is on growing our economy so we can create new jobs – not just for those already at working age, but those coming through our schools and higher education systems.
"That's why we are committed to delivering policies that are having, and will have, a real impact on the lives of Australians with more jobs and more opportunities, now and into the future."
Key elements of the Turnbull Government's plans include:
Our Enterprise Tax Plan, which begins with tax relief for 3 million small businesses. Paying less tax frees up more money to pay employees more and give them more hours of work;
Our $50 billion infrastructure investment in roads, rail, airports and dams, which creates thousands of jobs while making businesses and exports more competitive;
Export trade deals, which will continue to present more opportunities for thousands of farmers, manufacturers and service providers to export their goods and services to some of the largest economies in the world;
A National Innovation and Science Agenda, to support Australian businesses to be leading innovators;
A 20 year defence industry plan, which will not only strengthen Australia's Defence capability, but drive high-tech employment;
A youth employment package that will help up to 120,000 vulnerable young people through pre-employment training, internships and wage subsidies;
Restoring the rule of law in our third largest industry, the construction industry.

Kalenderhane Mosque is a church converted into a mosque by the Ottomans. It is located near the Girls' Dormitory in Vezneciler on 16th March Martyrs Street in the Vezneciler District of Eminönü county. It isn't exactly known when the church was built, but it is assumed to have been built between the 9th and 12th centuries.
Because of neighboor buildings, it was difficult to frame correct. I've used Pentax K10D.
Kalenderhane Mosque (Turkish: Kalenderhane Camii) is a former Eastern Orthodox church in Istanbul, converted into a mosque by the Ottomans. With high probability the church was originally dedicated to the Theotokos Kyriotissa. This building represents one among the few still extant examples of a Byzantine church with domed Greek cross plan.
It is located in Vefa, Fatih.


Dec 09, 2008 Details on DHEA and Weight Loss. You may be interested in using a DHEA supplement for weight loss, but results do not show any connection between DHEA and weight loss. 7ketone, one of the derivatives of DHEA, is widely believed to make this possible but there is not sufficient scientific evidence to back up those claims.
Weight loss occurs when more calories are expended than are consumed. Healthy animals can experience weight loss, but in a geriatric cat, a subtle decrease in weight can also be the first indication of illness. For example, cats with small intestinal disease may lose weight before exhibiting anorexia, vomiting, or diarrhea.

A man attacked by a shark in the Whitsundays is recovering in hospital after undergoing surgery.
Ryan Bowring, 25, was bitten on the leg and buttocks while swimming in waters at Hardy Reef, about 50 kilometres northeast of Hamilton Island about 12.30pm (AEST) on Monday.

Mr Bowring underwent surgery on Tuesday morning and is recovering, The Courier-Mail reports.
It is understood he works as a skipper for Southern Cross Sailing Adventures after relocating from Hobart to Airlie Beach six months ago.
The Whitsundays region has been the site of a number of shark attacks in the last six months.
Victorian man Daniel Christidis, 33, died in November after being attacked at Cid Harbour at Whitsunday Island during a trip with friends and colleagues.
That incident followed separate attacks - also at Cid Harbour - on Tasmanian woman Justine Barwick and Victorian 12-year-old Hannah Papps within 24 hours in September.

Indicators of Successful School Recognition Programs

To affirm that school recognition programs should reward efforts to increase academic achievement of all students through comprehensive reform.
Programs that identify and recognize successful schools provide positive reinforcement to school personnel, students, and the local communities. There is a growing movement to identify such successful schools based on high-stakes tests. The National Association of Secondary School Principals believes that no comprehensive school recognition program (e.g., Blue Ribbon Schools) should be based on a single criterion. A number of other indicators should be factored into the evaluation of school success.
NASSP believes that:
School recognition programs serve as a tool to reward successful initiatives and to inspire school improvement practices in other schools.
Successful schools should be defined by multiple indicators of improvement, not one criterion, such as one-time test scores.
School recognition programs that simply represent a snapshot of a school may be unreliable, unfair, and inaccurate; therefore, school success should be measured over a period of time to show improvement.
Successful schools promote equity by ensuring that programs aimed at school improvement are beneficial to all student populations.
Successful schools demonstrate unwavering commitment to continuous improvement; express consistent high expectations for all students; and prepare students for life beyond high school (i.e., postsecondary education and careers).
Use multiple indicators when identifying a successful school. These indicators should include but not necessarily be limited to: principal leadership, personalization, quality services for students with disabilities, relevant and rigorous curriculum, student assessments, family involvement and community engagement, professional development activities for teachers and principals, and collaboration.
Conduct school site visits to collect data and artifacts in order to gauge true and accurate school improvement over a minimum of three years.
Examine performance indicators for all student populations, such as ethnic, racial, and gender groups, as well as students with special needs and English language learners. Policymakers should:
Address financial and social inequities that affect student performance on state assessments.
Provide schools with effective resources that specifically address the educational needs of secondary school students. Resources should include funding, research on best practices, and continuous professional development.
Recognize schools for continuous achievement as well as improvement, and not for where the schools place in a ranking system.
Include practitioners on all school recognition program selection committees.

No matter where you were born or where you live, every culture celebrates important life milestones and transitions. The mood and the method to these events can vary tremendously, but joyous occasions like births or birthdays in most regions of the globe frequently spark festive gatherings of family and friends. These events are also often cause for reflection on time - and change - and the need always to embrace the ever- fleeting moment.
In the fall of 2005, International House will reach a momentous milestone. August 16, 2005, marks the start of our 75th year of service to Cal, the local community, and the world at-large, in helping advance international understanding, cross-cultural friendships, and leadership skills for a more peaceful planet. Homecoming 2004 and 2005 are among a series of events, including several profiled herein (see Southern California Reunions article on page 5 and For Your Calendar on the back page) that will shape our anniversary celebration and gather support for significant House needs without which we would be unable to serve the next generation of residents.
Lee Bridges, a former I-House resident, recently wrote to me and shared a message that resonates with many who know the meaning behind International House: "The Future Lives Here." Indeed, our daily work helps shape the individual futures of all those who make their home here, and, through their lives and work beyond the House and in every region of the globe - our mission contributes to personal, and sometimes political, international relations infused with understanding and often friendship.
• secure immediate funds to address critical shower and restroom overhauls so our building will remain serviceable to the next generation of residents.
• establish endowed fellowships to ensure access to the I-House experience to worthy scholars who might otherwise be unable to live here or attend Cal.
• garner financial support for the cross-cultural programs that educate and enrich our residents, the Cal campus, and our local community.
• acquire the means to establish and maintain an effective internet-based community that will engage and connect our alumni and friends worldwide in service to our mission.
We hope you'll participate actively in helping make certain we together maximize the opportunities and rise to the challenges of our anniversary plans. We welcome your support in helping shape the future of this institution - and the influence we provide to promote a more peaceful and tolerant world.

St. Claude store owner, 3 children victims of armed robbery attempt
By Natasha Robin
NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - It was just before 10:30 Wednesday night when a man armed with a gun stormed into Hank's Meat Market on St. Claude Avenue.
The owner and his three young children were inside. The gunman put a bag on the counter and demanded money. The owner's 9-year-old daughter took off running in fear. His 13-year-old son stood up and faced the gunman.
"I was confused. My dad was brave. He told us fear could be your worst enemy. If you show fear, then the person that you're showing fear to will have the advantage. That's what my dad did. He didn't show any fear," the 13-year-old said.
The boy said his dad told the gunman they didn't have any money, but the gunman demanded it again. That's when the owner told him, "If you want it, go get it yourself."
Behind the counter in a confined area was the owner's 10-year-old daughter. Surveillance video shows the little girl putting her hands up in fear for her life.
"I'm nervous. I had my hands up and all that stuff. I thought that was the end of my childhood, no more friends or anything. I was really scared," she said.
The gunman pulled on the door to gain access to the registers, but the door was locked. He took off running empty-handed.
"My phone rang and it was my son calling. He said, 'Mom, mom, we almost died.' I was like, 'What are you talking about?' He was like, 'A guy came into the store with a gun and tried to hold us up,'" Lisa Nelson said.
Nelson is the mother of the three children and co-owner of Hank's Meat Market. She said it's heartbreaking to see what her young children went through Wednesday night.
"Yeah, I mean, it could have gone really bad. I could be without my family right now. When I think about it like that, it could have gone so wrong," she said.
Nelson is thankful no one was hurt, but she worries about the future of their business. This is the second time they've been victimized in the past six months.
"All three registers were destroyed and products missing," she said.
Back in February, a man broke through a back wall to gain entry into the business. He used a hammer to beat the registers open, stole cash, and left behind a big mess.
"This is basically our home. We just go home to sleep, but we are here a lot, seven days a week with no days off. We're just trying to keep it going, and it's just one challenge after another. I'm going out trying to bring money in, but while you think everything is fine, someone comes in and tries to take what little you have left, again," Nelson said.

Q: How to change a Global Variable while being in a FOR loop import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv (r'result_withoutTotal.csv', index_col=0)
df['Total'] = (((5/100)*(df['Ass1']+df['Ass3']))+((15/100)*(df['Ass2']+df['Ass4']))+((60/100)*df['Exam']))

df.loc[df['Total'] > 100, 'Total'] = 100 #

df['Final'] = round(df['Total']) #rounds up the Total to the nearest integer and saves it in column Final

print(df)

for index, row in df.iterrows():
    if row['Total'] >= 50 and row['Exam'] >= 48:
        print('Student ID:', str(index) + ' Passed')

    elif row['Exam'] < 48 and row['Final'] > 44:
        print('Student ID:', str(index) + ' Failed and Will have 44')
        print('')

print(df)

The Question

*

*If a student failed the hurdle (Exam >= 48), the max Final is 44. No change to Final
score if Final <44.

So in the For loop ( ELIF ) part i need to change any value in column 'Final' to 44 if the conditional statement is true in the main dataframe(df), I just cant figure it out, i tried row['Final] = 44 but that just changes it within the for loop.

A: row is a copy of the row in the dataframe. Modifying it does not modify the original frame.
You need to index the original frame, then you can use df.ix[index, "Final"] = 44

When I was in Bridgeton, Indiana last week I was visiting with my good friends Doug Haffner and Jamie Oxenham. Jamie had done a nice sign featuring a mechanical fish a while back that Doug and I commented on favorably. We tried not to give too many complements as we didn't want to give Jamie a fat head. In the course of our discussion a challenge was thrown out for each of us to design and build a new version of the sign that would push the bar upwards from this fine example. I love a challenge (probably more than almost anyone) and couldn't resist.
Jamie insisted that the first piece was merely for practice and tht he could do much better. Doug boasted he had a better design already in mind. I of course knew I could beat both of these guys by a Yarrow mile without hardly trying. The contest was instantly on with a vengeance. The rules were simple... anything goes with a deadline of the end of summer. Then began the bravado and the trash talk of course.
After the 3D Sign Camp I had a long plane ride home. The first leg was a short one hour flight from Indianapolis to Chicago. By the time we landed I had filled fifteen pages in my sketchbook with ideas and sketches of the many details I would build into my design. Before summer is done I'll be building the 3D files in EnRoute before routing the pieces and then sculpting, assembling and painting the final version. Here's a copy of the design done on the plane ride.
Just in case my fellow sign makers don't yet have their designs nailed I've saved lots of planned details to be revealed as I build.
Bring it on Doug and Jamie. The challenge has begun!

The Little Green Dragon at The Stoller Hall
Shekina Rose, Families Editor
Lizzie Finlay
The Little Green Dragon - Early Year's Workshop at Stoller Hall at The Stoller Hall, Manchester, 22 May 2022, from £2.00 - Book now
Families and the littlest music lovers of Manchester! As part of the Manchester Guitar Festival (more info below), you're invited to The Stoller Hall on Sunday 22 May for The Little Green Dragon, an interactive Early Year's workshop themed around the delightful sounds of flamenco music, for young people aged 3-5 and their grownups to enjoy together.
The Little Green Dragon is a shy dragon, he's afraid to breathe fire and he's too scared to start his journey to find his lost treasure. All he wants is to be brave, and it's up to you to help Little Dragon on his quest to find his courage, regain his bravery and hunt down the treasure he seeks.
At the core of this unique Early Years workshop is the exploration of sound and music. What does fire sound like? What does courage sound like? Can you turn familiar emotions into music?

An assigned amount unit was a tradable "Kyoto unit" or "carbon credit" representing an allowance to emit greenhouse gases comprising "one metric tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent, calculated using global warming potentials". Assigned amount units were issued up to the level of initial "assigned amount" of an Annex 1 Party to the Kyoto Protocol.

The "assigned amounts" were the Kyoto Protocol Annex B emission targets (or "quantified emission limitation and reduction objectives") expressed as levels of allowed emissions over the 2008–2012 commitment period.

Application

Article 17 of the Kyoto Protocol allowed emissions trading between Annex B Parties (countries). Parties that had "assigned amount units" to spare because of reductions in emissions below their Kyoto commitment set out in Article 3 and Annex B could sell those units to countries that had emissions exceeding their targets. Article 17 also required that any such emissions trading must be supplemental to domestic action for the purpose of meeting quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments.

2Kings 2:13-25
As we left off last time in 2Kings, we saw that Elijah was taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire. Elisha was standing there when it happened, and Scripture records his reaction:
2Kgs. 2:12 And Elisha saw {it} and cried out, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" And he saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
What did he mean by, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen?" Chariots and horsemen were representative of a country's strength and protection. A man of God is of more value to a country than its weapons of war. For the godly man protects his country by intercession and prayer.
Notice too that he tore his clothes. Ever since the days of the book of Genesis, the Jews would tear their clothes to show sorrow, grief, or anger. For example, Jacob tore his clothes when he heard the report of the death of his son Joseph. David and his men also tore their clothes when they discovered that Saul and Jonathan had been killed.
However, the law forbade the high priests from this practice, because his garments were consecrated. Leviticus 21 says,
Lev. 21:10 And the priest who is the highest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil has been poured, and who has been consecrated to wear the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor tear his clothes
Remember that when Jesus told the high priest that He was the Christ, the Son of God,
Matt. 26:65 ...the high priest tore his robes, saying, "He has blasphemed! ..."
One of many ways that the Jews broke the Law of God while persecuting Jesus for breaking man's religious law.
So Elisha was grieved at Elijah's passing. Now, as we pick up at verse 13, we read of Elisha's return.
2:13 The Mantle Of Elijah
Elisha picked up the mantle of Elijah. This was the mantle in which Elijah had wrapped his face when he walked out to the entrance of the cave (1Kings 19:13). The same mantle that he had thrown on Elisha (1Kings 19:19) when calling him to serve the Lord with him.
Now Elisha is carrying it. The mantle becomes symbolic of the prophet's authority and office.
2:14 Parting The Waters
As Elisha struck the waters of the Jordan with Elijah's mantle, he said, "Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?" Obviously, if God wasn't with him, he would just stand there feeling foolish, with a dripping wet mantle in his hand. Was the God of Elijah with him? He was about to find out.
The waters of the Jordan did miraculously part. As a matter of fact, the last miracle that Elijah performed becomes the first miracle that Elisha performs. This is something that we should pay attention to - those of us who are examples to others, who disciple Christians, who lead people in the body of Christ. The method of ministry that someone's master uses usually becomes their method as well.
If you have no joy, your disciples will have no joy. If you operate in the flesh, those you lead will follow suit. But if you are filled with the Spirit and move in the love of God, those who God has placed around you will see that and model it.
I praise God for the examples I was shown in the pastors and leaders I have had over the years. Guys who were examples of grace and love, of the importance of worship and the Word.
Who are you discipling? Who are you an example to? If they grew to be the same kind of Christian that you are, would you be glad, or disappointed?
Paul was confident of His walk with God, and said,
1Cor. 11:1 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
And the writer to the Hebrews told them to look around, saying
Hebr. 13:7 Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.
As Elisha followed of Elijah, he became an imitator of his faith.
2:15 The Spirit Of Elijah
It was obvious to the sons of the prophets that, as they saw Elisha crossing the miraculously parted Jordan, that the spirit of Elijah rested on him.
This was an answer to Elisha's request before Elijah was taken up. Remember
2Kgs. 2:9 ...that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you." And Elisha said, "Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me."
What does it mean when we say, "his spirit" is upon another? It is more than simply having the same heart as Elijah, but it is not so extreme as to mean that he is possessed by Elijah. I believe it was a combination of the heart and attitude of Elijah, combined with a special anointing of God, the same one that He had given to Elijah.
God did the same for John the Baptist, when he came on the scene. His father was told by the angel Gabriel,
Luke 1:17 "And it is he who will go {as a forerunner} before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS BACK TO THE CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous; so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
So John came in the spirit and power of Elijah also. This was recognizable by enough people that the priests and Levites asked him directly, "Are you Elijah?" (John 1:21).
Elisha has this same recognizable spirit about him as well as he approaches the sons of the prophets.
2:16-18 Let Us Search
The sons of the prophets had been told that Elijah would be taken up that day. They all told Elijah so before they crossed the Jordan. But now that God has done it, they want to send out a search party to make sure that he wasn't dropped off somewhere. It's amazing how God can speak and mightily reveal Himself, and yet we still struggle in the faith of simply taking Him at His Word.
I found myself in a similar situation last week. God had made His will known, given us a direct Word from Him, and we confidently followed it. But then I thought, "maybe we should check out these other options also. What if this other way is the way to go? Am I sure I heard from the Lord right the first time?" And so, like a faithless fool, I send out my search parties to check the hills and valleys, when all along God has spoken clearly about what He is doing.
We never stop learning about what real faith is. Even after Thomas had walked with the Lord for 3 1/2 years, his faith was far from complete. You remember that after the resurrection, Jesus appeared to the disciples.
John 20:24-29 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I shall see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe." And after eight days again His disciples were inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst, and said, "Peace {be} with you." Then He said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing." Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed {are} they who did not see, and {yet} believed."
How blessed we are when we believe without seeing! May we continue to learn our lessons in faith.
As for me, I was one of the sons of the prophets last week. But the Lord would have me to be an Elisha instead.
But of course, Elisha wasn't even perfect in the matter. They bugged him so much that he gave in. "What if Elijah has been dropped off on a hill somewhere with no food or water? We must find him! What if he's been deposited into a valley and is in danger of wild beasts?"
Even Elisha's faith began to falter. They made him ashamed to think that he might be abandoning his master somewhere. And so after all that, he told them to send out a search party.
But he knew in his heart it was wrong. And when they returned, he reminded them that he had initially told them not to go.
2:19-22 Purifying The Waters
As Elijah was there in Jericho, the residents pointed out what a nice town it was and what a nice location it sat in. But there was also a major problem: the water was bad - very bad. History records that their spring was so bitter that it actually caused sickness and miscarriages. The land it was watered by was a barren wasteland.
Now we know that water in itself is good. The problems come when there are impurities added to the water, when it is mixed with a corrupting influence. That is when the land becomes unfruitful, and death and disease set in.
Now, we know that in Scripture, water is representative of the Word of God. The Word in and of itself is always pure. But when impurities are added in addition to the Word, that is when unfruitfulness sets in.
Remember the parable of the soils which Jesus taught. There was one plant that grew up from the seed that was sown, but it was choked by thorns. It was unfruitful. Jesus explained it this way:
Mark 4:18-19 "And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, and the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
There was nothing wrong with the Word that was heard. It was the additives that corrupted it - the worry, the money, the carnality, that made it unfruitful.
The same is true in many of our lives - the unfruitfulness in our lives is not the water, but what gets added to it to make it bitter and our lives unfruitful. Our desire for money, for the pleasures of this life, and the worries that these things bring - that is what causes the unfruitfulness.
Elijah fixed the problem by purifying the waters. The impurities need to be eliminated - in this case he did it with salt. Remember that Jesus taught,
Matt. 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth.
Mark 9:50 "...Have salt in yourselves..."
We are the new jar, the new creation, the people with the new heart. We are the salt of the earth, that preserving, purifying influence in the world. If there is unfruitfulness in people who have heard the Word, but are tangled up in sin, we are the ones called to bring purity. We covered this in-depth two Sunday mornings ago in our study of Galatians 6:1-5. If you missed it, you'll want to get the tape.
The effects of that ministry are long-lasting - today, if you go to Jericho, you can drink from this same spring. And I am told that the water is very sweet.
2:23-24 The Boys, The Baldhead, And The Bears
As Elisha travelled, some lads began to hassle him (these could have been junior high or high school age kids). And they were mocking him, saying, "Go up, you baldhead!" First of all, let me say that there is no problem with being bald. The Levitical law addresses this, saying
Lev. 13:40 "Now if a man loses the hair of his head, he is bald; he is clean.
The Bible never condemns a man for being bald. The Bible does, however, condemn mockers and rebellious teenagers. Casting insults at your elders is a good way to bring condemnation upon your head. In this case, two bears tore up 42 of this gang of hoodlums.
2:25 Elisha Returns To Samaria
Elisha returns to Samaria, where God will use him to speak to the king of Israel, just as his predecessor Elijah had done.

Celebrating Press Day in Aruba
The ladies & gentlemen of The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba invited press members on the eve of Press Day to a fun event in the casino. The event included a game at the end of which three local not-for-profit organizations—Aruba Birdlife Conservation, the YMCA, and the Red Cross—received generous donations.
The communications manager for The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba, Yahira Santoni, who co-hosted the event with the casino's marketing manager, Joanna Maya, reiterated that the resort wanted to pay it forward to the community as a token of appreciation for the media's important work. The evening concluded with press members forging relationships with the casino's fun slot machines and experiencing the thrill of gaming while armed with complimentary funny money.
On Saturday, the RIU Palace Antillas invited press members to Rimini Restaurant for brunch, hosted by General Manager Juan Blanco and Public Relations Manager Dany Nieto. "We are so thrilled to welcome the press every year on Press Day," said Blanco. "It has been a tradition over the past few years. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with the media, and we are happy to share news of our resort happenings with them on an ongoing basis."
Prepared by Blanco and his team, the brunch was overseen by Executive Chef David Candanoza. Following breakfast, each press member was presented with a gift—a coffee thermos that looks like a camera lens, insulated and made of indestructible stainless steel.
RIU Hotels & Resorts, headquartered at Palma de Mallorca, is a privately owned international hotel chain founded by the Riu family in 1953 as a small vacation enterprise. The company is still held today by the family and managed by members of the third generation.
Also planned: Aruba Bank is organizing the BBQ Cook-Off Battle in the coming week, inviting press members to compete in teams for an attractive first prize—a free trip to Miami!
The Apotheek, Opening Soon!
We got a sneak peek into a new "pharmacy" this week. I can't tell you its location, but I can say that it is very cute. The Apotheek, a tiny new cocktail bar & lounge, is strategically located in Oranjestad in front of a number of popular restaurants.
Owners Maki Wiggins and Marksonn Maduro make an interesting pair of entrepreneurs. Maki was practically born into tourism and marketing as the grandson of attorney Wally Wiggins, legendary founder of Divi Resorts, and the son of Marcus Wiggins of Kukoo Kunuku party bus fame. Marksonn, #29 on the AVP list in last year's election, was the handsome youth representative for that party. His team also won the Hackathon Oranjestad in 2017 with the idea of introducing more technology to Main Street in an effort to attract more traffic. By the way, the free Wi-Fi idea later became a reality. Marksonn's initial political aspiration—to nurture the entrepreneurial spirit in his fellow millennials—must have empowered him to team up with Maki and open the Apotheek, which will sell interesting alcoholic remedies, painkillers, and sedatives. The bar is already nicely stocked with bad medicine from around the globe. Opening soon!
DIVINO Hosts Lunch at the Warehouse
To introduce clients and friends to the wonders of the new Divino NV warehouse, located across the street from Caribbean Overseas in Eagle, Michael v/d Berg has been hosting a series of lunches themed around the wines and spirits carried by the business in a special tasting room, complete with kitchen and wine vault.
Last week, the house of Camus, producing fine cognacs from France, was highlighted when the brand ambassador visited the island. Camus Cognac has been produced by five generations of the Camus family since 1863, when Jean-Baptiste Camus organized a group of producers to sell cognac as La Grande Marque (The Big Brand). Today, Cyril Camus—representing the fifth generation of the Camus family—heads the company, which counts 500 employees in eight countries on three continents. Camus products are sold in most countries in the world, in almost every international airport, and on board a great number of aircraft.
During the special tasting, we enjoyed red snapper sashimi paired with the Symphony of Lights Cocktail, an amber-colored elixir made with Camus Cognac VS and tropical fruit. The delicate appetizer was followed by tuna loin, teriyaki, and sweet peas paired with the Jade Emperor Cocktail, a blend of Camus Cognac VSOP, green tea, Cointreau, and mint. For dessert, a coconut-lime granita with caramelized strawberries was married to Camus Cognac XO.
Brand ambassador Jorge Sosa informs that the cognac lends itself to various interpretations in craft cocktails and that it is a trendy, popular mixer in China, which in turn inspired the Jade Emerald Emperor Cocktail, named after the supreme deity in Chinese mythology.
Divino NV is also the source for Tito's Handmade Vodka and popular brands of premium wines on the island.
ATIA's Women in Leadership Conference Pushes for More Female Power and Engagement
The 6th annual conference was a sold-out event, starring a well-dressed crowd of mostly power women in fabulous shoes and a few forward-thinking men at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino's ballroom.
After ATIA's Michelle De Groot and Ronnie van Trigt welcomed conference-goers warmly, two charismatic women, Prime Minister Evelyn Wever Croes and Kelly Ann Tomblin, stole the show. Aruba's prime minister is easy to listen to—she sounds genuine and unrehearsed, and she reveals a self-deprecating sense of humor and warm compassion. Keynote speaker Kelly Ann Tomblin was a roller coaster of information and emotions, and she was very well suited to speak in Aruba in front of that specific female audience because she too came from an obscure little place and made it big in the corporate world. If anything, I will take her "think big" with me; we often think too small. Otherwise, I walked out considerably happier than when I walked in. Tomblin made us pledge to be true to ourselves, have a higher purpose, use our imagination, navigate well, gain knowledge, tap into our innate knowingness, seek novelty, and mostly step on it, expedite, "Just Do It."
Carrying the theme of "Women in Innovation, Getting It Done," this year's conference gave us plenty to think about, along with a stylish red wrist wrap to remind us to be brave.
Have Fork, Will Explore: A Divine Wine Pairing with Divino


For the second day of making Gravies with Potato, I have another famous Potato Masala that's specially made with Pooris. So much so that it is called Poori Masala in many hotels. This is also one of the famous Combo Breakfast you can order in Tamil Nadu.
I already have a version of Potato Masala which is different from today's version. When I was thinking about representing a potato gravy from each state, I suddenly remembered that Amma used to make it and we also get it in the hotels. As I had said Amma always used to have this included in our regular menu, which ensured our weekly quota of potato gets exhausted and she never used to make Potato Roast.
However, when I started packing lunches for my kids, I realised Potato Roast is their favourite. And the fact that they do not like the Potato Masala be it with Pooris or with Dosas, so I end up making it very simple for Hubby Dear.
This week's theme gave me a chance to remember my childhood food and I made it again. I haven't made it in a long time. It is called as Poori kizhangu masala in Tamil. Most times in down south it is called just as Poori Kizhangu.
In fact, the simpler version of Potato Masala was one of my first posts meant for Bachelors! That also reminds me that I am in my anniversary month! You can all join me in the celebrations soon with the Kids Delight Anniversary party!.
Meanwhile, come join in a traditional Tamil Nadu Style Poori Masala!
MW Potatoes for 5 to 6 mins. Soak and peel the skin. Keep it aside.
Heat a nonstick pan with oil. Temper with mustard seeds, urad dal, channa dal, cashews, curry leaves. Saute well.
Next add chopped green chillies, onion julienne, saute till the onion changes colour. Add the diced carrots.
Now add turmeric powder, salt. Add the mashed potatoes, chopped tomatoes and combine everything on high flame.
Mix the gram flour with water and make a paste.
Now simmer and add the besan paste, add more water as required and bring to boil. Cook on high for 5 mins. Simmer for 5 mins. Your gravy is done.
This is one of my fav breakfast combo. Looks so yum. I am feeling so hungry now..
Some things, be they humans or edibles, are made for each other and nothing else would go together. Poori kizhangu is one such delectable pair.Simple though to make,it is the most satisfying snack for breakfast or brunch!
I like this version of child hood memories, like the use of besan , I am sure it will be one delicious dish..and anyway I am a potato lover.
Even my mom use to make this but don't remember what we called it. My in-laws call it pitla, or at least the preparation looks lot similar. Poori masala is always a winning combo.
Such a classic combo Valli.The poori and the masala looks do tempting.
Very tempting, Valli. Super combo as well.
This is how we make our poori masala, u know wat i drink this masala just like that, my fav.
awww the classic and comfortable combo.
Tamil Nadu poori is never complete without this masala. I crave for poori only to eat this masala. I don't add besan in mine, will try adding that next time.
Love this curry. I realized after reading Usha's comment that we call it Bombai chutney which is pitla of course.
That is such a classic potato curry with besan. Love the addition of cashews in there.
such a classic combo!!! perfect breakfast!!!

THE TASTE OF PHO
SMAK PHO
drama I 2020 I Poland, Germany
TUESDAY 15/12/2020 6:40pm
Original Title: Smak pho
Language: Polish, Vietnamese with English subtitles
Director: Mariko Bobrik
Writer: Mariko Bobrik
Cast: Thang Long Do, Lena Nguyen, Aleksandra Domańska, Bogusława Pawelec, Gia Khai Ton
A warm story about love, food and being torn between two cultures. A Vietnamese cook living in Warsaw struggles to fit into the European culture, which his ten year old daughter has already embraced as her own.
Long (Thang Long Do), a widowed cook who has mastered his pho soup recipe to perfection, lives with his 10-year-old daughter Maja (Lena Nguyen) in Warsaw. On the surface he seems well integrated into his new country, although not as well as his daughter who constantly reminds him they live in a European country where things are different than in Vietnam. She doesn't understand his heritage, and he doesn't want to forget about it. When Long's boss Hien (Gia Khai Ton) decides to return to Vietnam, the Vietnamese restaurant is converted by the new owner to a combination of sushi bar and Thai restaurant. Adapting to this change is still only a minor challenge to Long compared to raising his rebellious daughter as a single parent.
THE TASTE OF PHO had its world premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival. It is a feature debut of Japan born Mariko Bobrik who now lives in Poland, where Vietnamese people are one of the largest ethnic minorities. While she gives the audiences an insight into the life of Warsaw's Vietnamese community, her story is much more universal and will strike a chord with many Australians of diverse heritage.
"Bobrik delivers a pleasing debut that shines a light on immigration problems from a different angle than most other films, and a perspective that is very welcome. — Cédric Succivalli, International Cinephile Society

NASA Launches IXPE Mission to Explore Most Dramatic Objects
SpaceExplorationFeatured
By Carolyn Mathas Last updated Dec 16, 2021
In a joint effort between the Italian Space Agency and NASA, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) launched on December 9th.
The observatory is NASA's first mission dedicated to measuring the polarization of X-rays from extreme and mysterious objects in the universe – supernova remnants, supermassive black holes, and dozens of other high-energy space phenomena.
The spacecraft separation occurred 33 minutes after launch, unfurling its solar arrays a minute later. IXPE entered its orbit around Earth's equator at an altitude of approximately 372 miles (600 kilometers). About 40 minutes after launch, mission operators received the first spacecraft telemetry data.
IXPE has three state-of-the-art space telescopes with special polarization-sensitive detectors. The mission builds on and complements scientific discoveries of other telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory. First light operations are scheduled to begin in January.

Southern Gothic novel
Modernist novel
Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith
813/.52 20
LC Class
PS3511.A86 S7 1990
The Sound and the Fury is a novel by the American author William Faulkner. It employs several narrative styles, including stream of consciousness. Published in 1929, The Sound and the Fury was Faulkner's fourth novel, and was not immediately successful. In 1931, however, when Faulkner's sixth novel, Sanctuary, was published—a sensationalist story, which Faulkner later said was written only for money—The Sound and the Fury also became commercially successful, and Faulkner began to receive critical attention.[1]
In 1998, the Modern Library ranked The Sound and the Fury sixth on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.[2]
The Sound and the Fury is set in Jefferson, Mississippi, in the first third of the 20th century. The novel centers on the Compson family, former Southern aristocrats who are struggling to deal with the dissolution of their family and its reputation. Over the course of the 30 years or so related in the novel, the family falls into financial ruin, loses its religious faith and the respect of the town of Jefferson, and many of them die tragically.
The novel is separated into four narratives. The first, reflecting events occurring and consequent thoughts and memories on April 7, 1928, is written in the voice and from the perspective of Benjamin "Benjy" Compson, an intellectually disabled 33-year-old man. Benjy's section is characterized by a disjointed narrative style with frequent chronological leaps.
The second section, taking place on June 2, 1910, focuses on Quentin Compson, Benjy's older brother, and the events leading up to Quentin's suicide. This section is written in the stream-of-consciousness style and also contains frequent chronological leaps.
In the third section, set a day before the first on April 6, 1928, Faulkner writes from the point of view of Jason, Quentin's cynical younger brother. In the fourth section, set a day after the first on April 8, 1928, Faulkner introduces a third-person omniscient point of view. This last section primarily focuses on Dilsey, one of the Compsons' black servants, and her relations with Jason and "Miss" Quentin Compson (daughter of Quentin's sister Caddy), as Dilsey contemplates the thoughts and deeds of everyone in the Compson family.
In 1945, Faulkner wrote a "Compson Appendix" to be included with future printings of The Sound and the Fury. It contains a 30-page history of the Compson family from 1699 to 1945.[3]
Part 1: April 7, 1928
The first section of the novel is narrated by Benjamin "Benjy" Compson, a source of shame to the family due to his diminished mental capacity; the only characters who show genuine care for him are Caddy, his older sister, and Dilsey, a matronly servant. His narrative voice is characterized predominantly by its nonlinearity: spanning the period 1898–1928, Benjy's narrative is a series of non-chronological events presented in a stream of consciousness. The presence of italics in Benjy's section indicates significant shifts in the narrative. Originally Faulkner conceived the use of different colors of ink to signify chronological breaks. This nonlinearity makes the style of this section particularly challenging, but Benjy's style develops a cadence that, while not chronologically coherent, provides unbiased insight into many characters' true motivations. Moreover, Benjy's caretaker changes to indicate the time period: Luster in the present, T.P. in Benjy's teenage years, and Versh during Benjy's infancy and childhood.
In this section we see Benjy's three passions: fire, the golf course on land that used to belong to the Compson family, and his sister Caddy. But by 1928 Caddy has been banished from the Compson home after her husband divorced her because her child was not his, and the family has sold his favorite pasture to a local golf club in order to finance Quentin's Harvard education. In the opening scene, Benjy, accompanied by Luster, a servant boy, watches golfers on the nearby golf course as he waits to hear them call "caddie"—the name of his favorite sibling. When one of them calls for his golf caddie, Benjy's mind embarks on a whirlwind course of memories of his sister, Caddy, focusing on one critical scene. In 1898 when their grandmother died, the four Compson children were forced to play outside during the funeral. In order to see what was going on inside, Caddy climbed a tree in the yard, and while looking inside, her brothers—Quentin, Jason and Benjy—looked up and noticed that her underwear was muddy. This is Benjy's first memory, and he associates Caddy with trees throughout the rest of his arc, often saying that she smells like trees. Other crucial memories in this section are Benjy's change of name (from Maury, after his uncle) in 1900 upon the discovery of his disability; the marriage and divorce of Caddy (1910), and Benjy's castration, resulting from an attack on a girl that is alluded to briefly within this chapter when a gate is left unlatched and Benjy is out unsupervised.
Part 2: June 2, 1910
Quentin, the most intelligent of the Compson children, gives the novel's best example of Faulkner's narrative technique. We see him as a freshman at Harvard, wandering the streets of Cambridge, contemplating death, and remembering his family's estrangement from his sister Caddy. Like the first section, its narrative is not strictly linear, though the two interweaving threads, of Quentin at Harvard on the one hand, and of his memories on the other, are clearly discernible.
Quentin's main obsession is Caddy's virginity and purity. He is obsessed with Southern ideals of chivalry and is strongly protective of women, especially his sister. When Caddy engages in sexual promiscuity, Quentin is horrified. He turns to his father for help and counsel, but the pragmatic Mr. Compson tells him that virginity is invented by men and should not be taken seriously. He also tells Quentin that time will heal all. Quentin spends much of his time trying to prove his father wrong, but is unable to do so. Shortly before Quentin leaves for Harvard in the fall of 1909, Caddy becomes pregnant by a lover she is unable to identify, perhaps Dalton Ames, whom Quentin confronts. The two fight, with Quentin losing disgracefully and Caddy vowing, for Quentin's sake, never to speak to Dalton again. Quentin tells his father that they have committed incest, but his father knows that he is lying: "and he did you try to make her do it and i i was afraid to i was afraid she might and then it wouldn't do any good" (112). Quentin's idea of incest is shaped by the idea that, if they "could just have done something so dreadful that they would have fled hell except us" (51), he could protect his sister by joining her in whatever punishment she might have to endure. In his mind, he feels a need to take responsibility for Caddy's sin.
Pregnant and alone, Caddy then marries Herbert Head, whom Quentin finds repulsive, but Caddy is resolute: she must marry before the birth of her child. Herbert finds out that the child is not his, and sends Caddy and her new daughter away in shame. Quentin's wanderings through Harvard (as he cuts classes) follow the pattern of his heartbreak over losing Caddy. For instance, he meets a small Italian immigrant girl who speaks no English. Significantly, he calls her "sister" and spends much of the day trying to communicate with her, and to care for her by finding her home, to no avail. He thinks sadly of the downfall and squalor of the South after the American Civil War. Tormented by his conflicting thoughts and emotions, Quentin commits suicide by drowning.
The third section is narrated by Jason, the third child and his mother Caroline's favorite. It takes place the day before Benjy's section, on Good Friday. Of the three brothers' sections, Jason's is the most straightforward, reflecting his single-minded desire for material wealth. This desire is made evident by his (bad) investments in cotton, which symbolize the financial decline of the South. By 1928, Jason is the economic foundation of the family after his father's death. He supports his mother, Benjy, and Miss Quentin (daughter of Caddy, the second child), as well as the family's servants. His role makes him bitter and cynical, with little of the passionate sensitivity that we see in his older brother and sister. He goes so far as to blackmail Caddy into making him Miss Quentin's sole guardian, then uses that role to steal the support payments that Caddy sends for her daughter.
This is the first section that is narrated in a linear fashion. It follows the course of Good Friday, a day in which Jason decides to leave work to search for Miss Quentin, who has run away again, seemingly in pursuit of mischief. Here we see most immediately the conflict between the two predominant traits of the Compson family, which Caroline attributes to the difference between her blood and her husband's: on the one hand, Miss Quentin's recklessness and passion, inherited from her grandfather and, ultimately, the Compson side; on the other, Jason's ruthless cynicism, drawn from his mother's side. This section also gives us the clearest image of domestic life in the Compson household, which for Jason and the servants means the care of the hypochondriac Caroline and of Benjy.
April 8, 1928, is Easter Sunday. This section, the only one without a single first-person narrator, focuses on Dilsey, the powerful matriarch of the black family servants. She, in contrast to the declining Compsons, draws a great deal of strength from her faith, standing as a proud figure amid a dying family.
On this Easter Sunday, Dilsey takes her family and Benjy to the "colored" church. Through her we sense the consequences of the decadence and depravity in which the Compsons have lived for decades. Dilsey is mistreated and abused, but nevertheless remains loyal. She, with the help of her grandson Luster, cares for Benjy, as she takes him to church and tries to bring him to salvation. The preacher's sermon inspires her to weep for the Compson family, reminding her that she's seen the family through its destruction, which she is now witnessing.
Meanwhile, the tension between Jason and Miss Quentin reaches its inevitable conclusion. The family discovers that Miss Quentin has run away in the middle of the night with a carnival worker, having found the hidden collection of cash in Jason's closet and taken both her money (the support from Caddy, which Jason had stolen) and her money-obsessed uncle's life savings. Jason calls the police and tells them that his money has been stolen, but since it would mean admitting embezzling Quentin's money he doesn't press the issue. He therefore sets off once again to find her on his own, but loses her trail in nearby Mottson, and gives her up as gone for good.
After church, Dilsey allows her grandson Luster to drive Benjy in the family's decrepit horse and carriage to the graveyard. Luster, disregarding Benjy's set routine, drives the wrong way around a monument. Benjy's hysterical sobbing and violent outburst can only be quieted by Jason, who understands how best to placate his brother. Jason slaps Luster, turns the carriage around, and, in an attempt to quiet Benjy, hits Benjy, breaking his flower stalk, while screaming "Shut up!" After Jason gets off the carriage and Luster heads home, Benjy suddenly becomes silent. Luster turns around to look at Benjy and sees Benjy holding his drooping flower. Benjy's eyes are "empty and blue and serene again."
Appendix: Compson: 1699–1945
In 1945, Faulkner wrote an appendix to the novel to be published in the then-forthcoming anthology The Portable Faulkner, edited by Malcolm Cowley.[4] At Faulkner's behest, however, subsequent printings of The Sound and the Fury frequently contain the appendix at the end of the book; it is sometimes referred to as the fifth part. Having been written sixteen years after The Sound and the Fury, the appendix presents some textual differences from the novel, but serves to clarify the novel's opaque story.
The appendix is presented as a complete history of the Compson family lineage, beginning with the arrival of their ancestor Quentin Maclachlan in America in 1779 and continuing through 1945, including events that transpired after the novel (which takes place in 1928). In particular, the appendix reveals that Caroline Compson died in 1933, upon which Jason had Benjy committed to the state asylum, fired the black servants, sold the last of the Compson land, and moved into an apartment above his farming supply store. It is also revealed that Jason had himself declared Benjy's legal guardian many years ago, without their mother's knowledge, and used this status to have Benjy castrated.
The appendix also reveals the fate of Caddy, last seen in the novel when her daughter Quentin is still a baby. After marrying and divorcing a second time, Caddy moved to Paris, where she lived at the time of the German occupation. In 1943, the librarian of Yoknapatawpha County discovered a magazine photograph of Caddy in the company of a German staff general and attempted separately to recruit both Jason and Dilsey to save her; Jason, at first acknowledging that the photo was of his sister, denied that it was she after realizing the librarian wanted his help, while Dilsey pretended to be unable to see the picture at all. The librarian later realizes that while Jason remains cold and unsympathetic towards Caddy, Dilsey simply understands that Caddy neither wants nor needs to be saved from the Germans, because nothing else remains for her.
The appendix concludes with an accounting for the black family who worked as servants to the Compsons. Unlike the entries for the Compsons themselves, which are lengthy, detailed, and told with an omniscient narrative perspective, the servants' entries are simple and succinct. Dilsey's entry, the final in the appendix, consists of two words: "They endured."
See also: Compson Family
Jason Compson III – father of the Compson family, a lawyer who attended the University of the South: a pessimist and alcoholic, with cynical opinions that torment his son, Quentin. He also narrates several chapters of Absalom, Absalom!.
Caroline Bascomb Compson – wife of Jason Compson III: a self-absorbed neurotic who has never shown affection for any of her children except Jason, whom she seems to like only because he takes after her side of the family. In her old age she has become an abusive hypochondriac.
Quentin Compson III – the oldest Compson child: passionate and neurotic, he commits suicide as the tragic culmination of the damaging influence of his father's pessimistic philosophy and his inability to cope with his sister's sexual promiscuity. He is also a character in Absalom, Absalom!. The bridge over the Charles River, where he commits suicide in the novel, bears a plaque to commemorate the character's life and death.
Candace "Caddy" Compson – the second Compson child, strong-willed yet caring. Benjy's only real caregiver and Quentin's best friend. According to Faulkner, the true hero of the novel. Caddy never develops a voice; rather, her brothers' emotions towards her provide the development of her character.
Jason Compson IV – the bitter, openly racist third child who is troubled by monetary debt and sexual frustration. He works at a farming goods store owned by a man named Earl and becomes head of the household in 1912. Has been embezzling Miss Quentin's support payments for years.
Benjamin (nicknamed Benjy, born Maury) Compson – the mentally disabled fourth child, who is a constant source of shame and grief for his family, especially his mother, who insisted on his name change to Benjamin. Caddy is the only family member who shows any genuine love towards him. Luster, albeit begrudgingly, shows concern for him occasionally, but usually out of obligation. Has an almost animal-like "sixth sense" about people, as he was able to tell that Caddy had lost her virginity just from her smell. The model for Benjy's character may have had its beginning in the 1925 New Orleans Times Picayune sketch by Faulkner entitled "The Kingdom of God".
Dilsey Gibson – the matriarch of the servant family, which includes her three children—Versh, Frony, and T.P.—and her grandchild Luster (Frony's son); they serve as Benjamin's caretakers throughout his life. An observer of the Compson family's destruction.
Miss Quentin Compson – daughter of Caddy who goes to live with the Compsons when Herbert divorces Caddy. She is wild and promiscuous, and eventually runs away from home. Often referred to as Quentin II or Miss Quentin by readers to distinguish her from her uncle, for whom she was named.
Style and structure
The four parts of the novel relate many of the same episodes, each from a different point of view and therefore with emphasis on different themes and events. This interweaving and nonlinear structure makes any true synopsis of the novel difficult, especially since the narrators are all unreliable in their own way, making their accounts not necessarily trustworthy at all times. Also in this novel, Faulkner uses italics to indicate points in each section where the narrative is moving into a significant moment in the past. The use of these italics can be confusing, however, as time shifts are not always marked by the use of italics, and periods of different time in each section do not necessarily stay in italics for the duration of the flashback. Thus, these time shifts can often be jarring and confusing, and require particularly close reading.
When Faulkner began writing the story that would develop into The Sound and the Fury, it "was tentatively titled 'Twilight,' [and] narrated by a fourth Compson child," but as the story progressed into a larger work, he renamed it,[5] drawing its title from Macbeth's famous soliloquy from act 5, scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Macbeth:
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Immediately obvious is the notion of a "tale told by an idiot," in this case Benjy, whose view of the Compsons' story opens the novel. The idea can be extended also to Quentin and Jason, whose narratives display their own varieties of idiocy. More to the point, the novel recounts "the way to dusty death" of a traditional upper-class Southern family. The last line is, perhaps, the most meaningful: Faulkner said in his Nobel Prize in Literature acceptance speech that people must write about things that come from the heart, "universal truths." Otherwise, they signify nothing.
Upon publication the influential critic Clifton Fadiman dismissed the novel, arguing in The Nation that "the theme and the characters are trivial, unworthy of the enormous and complex craftsmanship expended on them."[6] But The Sound and the Fury ultimately went on to achieve a prominent place among the greatest of American novels, playing a role in William Faulkner's receiving the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature.
It is nearly unanimously considered a masterpiece by literary critics and scholars, but its unconventional narrative style frequently alienates new readers. Although the vocabulary is generally basic, the stream-of-consciousness technique, which attempts to transcribe the thoughts of the narrators directly, with frequent switches in time and setting and with loose sentence structure and grammar, has made it a quintessentially difficult modernist work.
Literary significance
The Sound and the Fury is a widely influential work of literature. Faulkner has been praised for his ability to recreate the thought process of the human mind. In addition, it is viewed as an essential development in the stream-of-consciousness literary technique. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked The Sound and the Fury sixth on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.[2]
A film adaptation was released in 1959 directed by Martin Ritt and starring Yul Brynner, Joanne Woodward, Margaret Leighton, Stuart Whitman, Ethel Waters, Jack Warden, and Albert Dekker. The movie bears little resemblance to the novel.
Another adaptation, The Sound and the Fury (2014), was directed by James Franco and starred Franco as Benjy Compson, Jacob Loeb as Quentin Compson, Joey King as Miss Quentin, Tim Blake Nelson as Mr. Compson, Loretta Devine as Dilsey, Ahna O'Reilly as Caddy Compson, Scott Haze as Jason Compson, Kylen Davis as Luster, Seth Rogen as a Telegraph Operator, Danny McBride as a Sheriff, and Logan Marshall-Green as Dalton Ames. It made its premiere at the 71st Venice International Film Festival, where it screened out-of-competition.
In 2012, The Folio Society released an edition, limited to 1,480 copies, of The Sound and the Fury. This edition is the first to use colored ink to represent different time sequences for the first section of the novel. This limited edition is also sold with a special commentary volume edited by Faulkner scholars Stephen Ross and Noel Polk. According to The Folio Society, "We can never know if this [edition] is exactly what Faulkner would have envisaged, but the result justifies his belief that coloured inks would allow readers to follow the strands of the novel more easily, without compromising the 'thought-transference' for which he argued so passionately."[7]
