Christopher Bailey tops OUTstanding list of 100 LGBT business leaders
The Burberry boss is the FTSE 100's first openly gay chief executive, while Sir Richard Branson is OUTstanding's number one ally.
Burberry boss Christopher Bailey has topped a list of 100 UK LGBT business leaders, as the first 'out' chief executive of a FTSE 100 company, while billionaire Sir Richard Branson (who's he...?) has been named as the number one straight ally.
Antonio Simoes, HSBC's UK chief exec, took second place in the list, compiled by LGBT business network OUTstanding, while EY global vice chair of public policy Beth Brooke-Marciniak came in third. The list also features transgender business leaders for the first time, with three making the top 100.
Alongside Branson in the top 20 straight supporters of LGBT equality in the workplace was Goldman Sachs boss Lloyd Blankfein and JP Morgan Chase chief exec Jamie Dimon, indicating maybe the overly macho stereotype of investment banking is finally being put to bed.
Former BP chief exec Lord Browne, whose book 'The Glass Closet' was published earlier this year, Yahoo vice president Dawn Airey, Thomas Cook boss Harriet Green and Ashok Vaswani, Barclays' head of personal and corporate banking, were 'reluctantly omitted' from the lists, as they are on OUTstanding's advisory panel.
'If closeted employees can identify with someone who has been through the closet door and succeeded, then they are more likely to let go of the fears that hold them back,' Browne said. 'OUTstanding and the Top 100 list provide the role models which demonstrate that coming out at work is both possible and worthwhile.'
'A diverse leadership team is essential and brings real business benefit – there is nothing more dangerous than 'groupthink',' Green said. 'If every leader, for example, is a white, British, heterosexual male then the views of the majority of the world's population are not heard or considered in important decisions.'
Those on the lists, first published in the FT, were nominated by colleagues and peers and ranked according to their support for LGBT equality both inside and outside their workplace, as well as their seniority and business achievements. This year was the first time OUTstanding included straight allies, and the list was also doubled in size.

Q: Django: Simplest way to create a 2-page site? I have a site made in PHP that i need to create a django site of. I've stripped out the PHP code temporary (not much code anyways), but i'm having problems understanding how django works and how to create a simple template to display a page.
I know there's thousands of books and guides out there, but most of them go too deep or doesn't do what i need. I just need two simple pages, page1 and page2, which will be accessed through domain.com/page1 and domain.com/page2.
What is the simplest way to achieve that?
This is what i have in my urls.py file so far, is that correct at least?
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', 'mysite.views.page1', name='home'),
    url(r'^$page2', 'mysite.views.page2', name='page2'),
)

It obviously doesn't work now cause the views aren't created.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
// qwerty

A: I recommend you to walk through tutorial, you will find out everything Django beginner should know.

A: Try this:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from mysite.yourapp import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', 'mysite.views.page1', name='home'),
    url(r'^page2/$', 'mysite.views.page2', name='page2'),
)

The r'^page1/$ bit is python regex
in your views.py file define your views:
def page1:
 #something

This should help you get started http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/intro/tutorial01/

A: Well, i found the most straight-forward way is:
1) urls.py
from django.urls import include, path
from . import views
from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = [
    path('test.html', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='main/test.html')),
]

2) templates/test.html
Hello world!

Classic 3-steps:
1) urls.py
from django.urls import include, path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('test.html', views.test, name='test'),]

2) views.py
from django.shortcuts import render

def test(request):
    return render(request, 'test.html')

3) templates/test.html
Hello world!

A: Thats more or less what I use:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^$', 'news.views.page1'),
    (r'^page2/$', 'news.views.page2'),

)

just for your understanding: the beginning of a line is expressed as ^, the end as $. So ^$ stands for an empty line. more about regexp: http://docs.python.org/library/re.html

A: If you are using older django than direct_to_template generic view is what you need.
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^page1/$', direct_to_template, {'template': 'page1.html'}),
    (r'^page2/$', direct_to_template, {'template': 'page2.html'}),
)

Or for newer django 1.3 you need to use class based generic views
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^page1/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="page1.html")),
    (r'^page2/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="page2.html")),
)

P.S. Don't forget to create page1.html and page2.html template files.

We arrived over 3 hours late at our hotel last night. Delays from the plane fire at Heathrow the day before and a diversion to a different airport at Berlin. We finally checked in at 2.45am!
Fortunately it was a grey day so we had a lie in. The forecast is for mostly sunshine for the next 2 days so decided to spend today finding our way around and spotting the best locations.
My new Samsung Galaxy S3 phone is now fully working as Vodafone has activated the sim card. I took the photo of St Nikolai Church with it to check the camera out. The one on my previous S2 was rubbish! I also took it on my proper camera, my Mamiya 7 (I actually brought 2 with me just in case I break one again).
My back is painful after walking around with camera and tripod so am resting in our room at the hotel for a couple of hours. Later will do some night shots but can't start until after 10pm at this time of year.

O Marvel Studios Special Presentations é uma série de especiais de televisão produzidos pela Marvel Studios para o Disney+, ambientados no Universo Cinematográfico Marvel (UCM), compartilhando continuidade com os filmes e séries de televisão da franquia. O banner do Marvel Studios Special Presentation foi revelado junto com o anúncio do primeiro especial de televisão, Werewolf by Night (2022), em setembro de 2022. Os especiais de aproximadamente uma hora foram concebidos para fornecer um breve olhar em novos personagens ou conceitos para o UCM. As apresentações especiais são acompanhadas por um tema especial e uma abertura que lembra a introdução da apresentação especial da CBS dos anos 1980 e 1990.

Werewolf by Night e The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022) estão incluídos na Fase Quatro do UCM, ambos temáticos. A Marvel Studios está aberta à ideia de especiais adicionais. O formato de Apresentação Especial foi elogiado por permitir que a Marvel Studios contasse histórias contidas que experimentam gênero e estilo, e poderia apresentar personagens mais obscuros, ao mesmo tempo em que não se prendia a narrativas longas como em seus filmes e séries de televisão.

Desenvolvimento
Em setembro de 2018, a Marvel Studios estava desenvolvendo várias séries limitadas para o novo serviço de streaming da Disney, o Disney+, centrado em personagens da "segunda camada" dos filmes do Universo Cinematográfico Marvel (UCM) que não tinham e provavelmente não estrelariam seus próprios filmes. O desenvolvimento de conteúdo para o Disney+ permitiu que a Marvel Studios fosse flexível com formatos, como emular especiais de televisão temáticos únicos ou anuais como A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) e Frosty the Snowman (1969); esses especiais geralmente duravam de 30 minutos a uma hora, que era a duração que a Marvel Studios estava imaginando para seus especiais.

Em dezembro de 2020, a Marvel Studios anunciou The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special para o Disney+, para ser lançado no final de 2022, durante a época de natal. Holiday Special foi o primeiro conteúdo que a Marvel Studios planejou criar para o Disney+. Em agosto de 2021, um especial de televisão com tema de Halloween para o Disney+ estava em desenvolvimento, supostamente focado no Lobisomem. Na D23 Expo em setembro de 2022, a Marvel confirmou o especial de Halloween como Werewolf by Night, que foi lançado em outubro. Naquela época, o banner "Marvel Studios Special Presentation" foi revelado, sob o qual Werewolf by Night e The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special seriam comercializados. O executivo da Marvel Studios, Brian Gay, chamou o Marvel Studios Special Presentation de um "novo formato" para o estúdio, com cada especial destinado a ser um breve olhar em "uma história diferente ou uma área diferente do universo", como apresentar novos personagens ou conceitos para o UCM e provocando como eles poderiam se integrar ainda mais ao UCM com aparições futuras.

Michael Giacchino, diretor de Werewolf by Night, disse que o presidente da Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, esperava que Werewolf by Night fosse "a primeira de algumas histórias prontas". Até o lançamento de Werewolf by Night, a Marvel Studios não havia determinado nenhum plano de lançamento definido para futuros especiais em potencial.

Logo e tema
As apresentações especiais apresentam uma introdução especial multicolorida com música de bongô, reminiscente do tema da apresentação especial da CBS apresentado antes dos especiais animados dos anos 1980 e 1990. Giacchino (que dirigiu e compôs para Werewolf by Night) compôs o tema, chamando a abertura de uma "carta de amor" para os logotipos de apresentação especial das redes de transmissão, que foram usados para indicar uma programação única, algo que a Marvel Studios queria que as apresentações especiais fossem. A introdução foi feita pela Perception.

Jamie Lovett, do ComicBook.com, chamou a introdução da apresentação especial do Marvel Studios de "mais colorida" e seu tema de "mais divertido" do que a introdução normal do Marvel Studios, enquanto Rachel Paige, da Marvel.com, chamou o tema de "um hit absoluto e com certeza provocará o mesmo nível de emoção" quando ouvida como as apresentações especiais das redes de transmissão. Joshua M. Patton, do Comic Book Resources, acreditava que esta introdução "teria um efeito semelhante nas novas gerações de crianças" como as introduções das redes de transmissão mais antigas, uma vez que "evoca a memória de sua contraparte da CBS" e sinalizou aos telespectadores que eles estavam "prestes a ver algo emocionante e novo".

Fase Quatro

Todos os especiais estão sendo lançados no Disney+ e coexistem com os filmes e séries de televisão da fase.

Elenco e personagens

Lista de indicador(es)

Esta seção inclui membros do elenco principal, personagens recorrentes e artistas convidados notáveis, conforme definido pelo FAQ.

 Um espaço cinza escuro indica que o personagem não estava no especial.

 O C indica uma participação especial não creditada.
 Um MC indica um papel somente de captura de movimento.
 Um S indica que o ator fez parte do elenco principal do especial.
 O V indica uma participação somente de voz.

Recepção
Cada especial está vinculado à seção "Resposta crítica" de seu artigo.

Após o lançamento de Werewolf by Night, Tyler Llewyn Taing, do /Film, disse que as apresentações especiais poderiam "levar a um gênero mais emocionante e experimentos estilísticos no UUCM no futuro" como Werewolf by Night foi, e comparou o formato especial de televisão de uma hora aos curtas-metragens One-Shots, da Marvel Studios. Como parte de sua análise de Werewolf by Night, Chris E. Hayner, do GameSpot, disse que os especiais "deveriam se tornar uma ocorrência regular" se pudessem ser tão bons quanto Werewolf by Night. Rupesh Nair, do IGN India, comparou o formato especial aos quadrinhos one-shot e às publicações Elseworlds, da DC Comics, afirmando que as Apresentações Especiais "elevaram" o UCM e podem ser os "ousados críticos" da franquia. Ele esperava que futuros especiais fossem capazes de apresentar personagens desconhecidos ao público por meio de histórias que "permitissem que diretores e membros do elenco brilhassem". Richard Newby, do The Hollywood Reporter, sentiu que o formato era "[o] prospecto mais empolgante do UCM", afirmando que era "uma boa ideia [reduzir] o número de séries, senão filmes, e repensá-los como Apresentações Especiais, em vez de compromissos de seis a nove semanas... [para] liberar o público e renovar seu investimento no universo, e permitir que os cineastas se expandam criativamente".

Documentário
Um documentário especial para Werewolf by Night, intitulado Director by Night, foi anunciado em setembro de 2022, com Anthony Giacchino como roteirista e diretor. Director by Night foi lançado no Disney+ em 4 de novembro de 2022, comercializado com a marca "Marvel Studios Special Presentation".

• how can the university as an institution and the academics who work in it help to ensure that students are nurtured and adequately prepared for an active role as citizens in a world in which societal, environmental and cultural challenges are shared?
These reflections concern questioning the university itself. What does it mean to be a university today and in the future? Does the university's own being call for particular actions and different modes of thinking? With these questions and others, we suggest that the time maybe right to re-think what 'being' the university means.


The Spiral�s chains cascade gracefully down from a spectacular honeycomb of crystals in a headpiece ablaze with color. These descending layers form rippling tiers of light in a never-ending dance of beauty. The silhouette resembles a fluted champagne glass brimming with is own precious colors, holding the viewers spellbound. A natural rhythm unfurls in the diminishing circles until a breathtaking point is reached. Wave upon wave of crystal bathes over the eye like the oceans waves lapping against the sandy shore. Energy breathes through this spiraling crystal gyroscope.

Q: The for-loop to get the array in the ActionListener is not working Hello I'm trying to get an array of integers from a JTextField and then use them for Bubble Sort. THhe JButton shown here is supposed to take an array from the JTextField and put it into an integer array. I think the problem is in the for loop? How do I get the for-loop to put the integers into the array? This is a part of my code:
public class BubbleSort implements Runnable {
private JButton addSize, addNum, bubSort;
private JLabel lblSize, lblNum;
private JTextField tfSize, tfNum;
private JPanel content, top, mid1, mid2, bottom;
private JTextArea ta;

int size, p, i, c, num;
int[] A;
String numbers;
String[] strNum;

@Override
public void run() {
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    .....
    addSize = new JButton ("Enter");
    addSize.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
            try{
                int size = Integer.parseInt(tfSize.getText());
                tfNum.requestFocus();
            }
            catch(NumberFormatException ex) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f.getComponent(0), "Input is not a number");
            }
        }
    });
    final int[] A = new int[size];
    addNum = new JButton (" Add ");
    addNum.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
            String numbers = tfNum.getText().trim();
            String[] strNum = numbers.split(",");
            for(i = 0; i < size; i++) {
                try{
                    A[i] = Integer.parseInt(strNum[i]);
                    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(A)); //what I used to check the for loop
                }
                catch(NumberFormatException nf) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f.getComponent(0), "No parsable integer!");
                }
            }
       });
    .....

    f.pack();
    f.setSize(500,500);
    f.setResizable(false);
    f.setVisible(true);

}
public static void main(String[] args) {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new BubbleSort());
}

Any advice would be much appreciated.

A: One solution I can come up with is to use static model, so that you can modify the model in your listener instance and also allow other objects to use it. I found one solution that similar to mine.

At 13, Jodie Lai was the youngest Singaporean to win a Optimist Gold Medal at the 2014 Asian Games.
At the 2015 SEA Games, Jodie continued to do well in the Optimist class, bagging two Silver medals.
However for the 2017 SEA games, Jodie had to transition to the 420 girls event, a double-handed youth class at the 2017 SEA Games, a transition that was "not easy".
Despite the tough transition, Jodie took home a Silver medal last year.
This year, Jodie will be transitioning to yet another class – the Laser 4.7.
For the upcoming games, the pressure is on for Singapore's youngest gold medallist.
I started sailing when i was about 8. When I was younger, I was more into music and the arts and I didn't really have much of an interest in sports. However, I was surrounded by sailors; my brother was in sailing as his CCA and my form teacher also happened to be the teacher in charge of sailing. She encouraged me to try sailing and she would share with me about how fun of a sport sailing was.
Once, when my brother went training, I tagged along out of curiosity. It just happened that my form teacher also happened to be present and she convinced me to go out to sea to experience sailing the boat. It was scary at first as the whole environment was very new and I was not used to being in the sun for long hours. At that time, I never expected myself to fall in love with sailing. Over time, I started enjoying my time out at sea more; the vast sea and unrestrictive boundaries made me feel free and I love that feeling.
Coping with school and training is definitely not easy. My teachers used to describe us as more of part-time students – part-time sailors, than full time students. Personally, I was very fortunate to have supportive friends, teachers, and family members around me. I have amazing friends who would always help me take notes when I was absent from school, teachers who would stay back with me after school to revise concepts, and family members who would stay up late when I was overseas competing just to wait for a text message.
I remember when I was 13, I was absent from school probably ¼ of the whole school year. I missed out a lot at school and I was often lost in class as I had no idea what they were discussing in class. Luckily for me, my fellow teachers and classmates were all very nice and they even sacrificed their own personal time to study with me after school. I recall coming back from my overseas trips worrying about how I was going to catch up on school work, only to find all my notes and work that I had missed organised neatly in a stack with post-its stuck on a few pages to help me understand the notes. It is with this support that I was able to cope with school and competitive training.

Q: clear data after the use of a function I am writing a function that takes a target sum and an array of numbers as argument. The function should return a boolean ndicating if the target sum can be generated using the numbers from the array. I want to make the program more efficient, but when introducing a dictionary as a third argument, it stores information that are used when I run the function again. Here is the code:
def targetsum(TarS,lis, memo={}):
    if TarS in memo:
        return memo[TarS]
    if TarS==0: return True
    if TarS<0: return False
    for num in lis:
        remainder=TarS-num
        if targetsum(remainder,lis,memo) == True:
            memo[TarS]= True
            return True
    memo[TarS]= False
    return False

print(targetsum(7,[2,4]))  #false
print(targetsum(7,[2,3]))  #true

The program returns false, false because it 'remembers' that 7 gives false from the first run. If I run I comment out one of the 'print' commands, everything works fine. How can I fix it? Thank you!

Drafting a contract
Drafting a contract? Beware the well-intentioned but unenforceable agreement to agree
05 February 2019. Published by Jonathan Cary, Partner
"Such period as shall reasonably be agreed between (the parties)" is an agreement to agree and therefore unenforceable according to the Court of Appeal in Philip Morris v Swanton Care & Community Limited.
Facts of the dispute
The case concerned a company called Glenpath Holdings Limited which provided residential care for autistic men and women. The shares in the company were sold by the claimant, Mr Morris, and his business partner to the defendant, Swanton. The dispute concerned Mr Morris' entitlements under an earn-out provision in the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA). The relevant clause read:
"Mr Morris shall have the option for a period of 4 years from Completion and following such period such further period as shall reasonably be agreed between Mr Morris and the Buyer to provide the following services… [the Consultancy Services]" (emphasis added).
Mr Morris provided the Consultancy Services during the initial 4 years and was paid £4,146,371 under the earn-out provisions.
Towards the end of the four year period following the SPA, Mr Morris wrote to Swanton seeking a "reasonable extension" of the period in which he could provide the Consultancy Services. Swanton refused the extension. Mr Morris brought proceedings claiming that, after the expiry of the initial four years, he was entitled to a further period of time to be agreed between the parties under the earn-out provision in which he would provide the Consultancy Services and earn further consideration.
Swanton defended the proceedings on the basis that:
(i) the reference to a further period to be agreed was no more than an agreement to agree and applicable only if both parties agreed;
(ii) the wording was not mandatory on its true meaning; and
(iii) it was reasonable for the defendant not to agree an extension.
The judge at first instance agreed with Swanton and found that whilst Mr Morris had enforceable right to provide Consultancy Services for the initial four year period, he did not have an enforceable right to provide the Consultancy Services during any further period to be reasonably agreed between the parties. There was an obligation on the parties under the SPA to agree on the length of the second period in a reasonable way but there was no mechanism in the SPA to enable the court to determine the length of the second period and as such it was no more than an "agreement to agree" and was therefore unenforceable under established case law.
Court of Appeal Decision
The Court of Appeal found that the words "as shall reasonably be agreed between Mr Morris and the Buyer", when construed in the context of the entire agreement, made it plain that for there to be any further period there had to be a further agreement between the parties. At the time of entering into the SPA the parties did not specify a further period but, instead, agreed that there would have to be a further agreement in the future, which is the "very paradigm of an agreement to agree". At that future point, either party was therefore free to agree or disagree. "Reasonably" in this context applied only to the manner of agreement and not to the period.
The provision was therefore void for uncertainty but the SPA otherwise remained binding. The Court of Appeal commented that whilst the relevant provision required the parties "reasonably" to agree, it did not turn an unenforceable provision into an enforceable agreement; there is a long line of case law which suggests that there is no obligation on parties to negotiate in good faith about matters which remain to be agreed and Swanton was therefore free to negotiate in accordance with its own commercial interests.
Certainty is key
It is a truism to say that there is no place for ambiguity in a contract. Flexibility between the parties can be well intentioned but may ultimately be the source of uncertainty; the very opposite of what was intended by the drafters, and often a path to unwanted litigation.

Victoria Wilmotte, Furniture Designer
As the youngest child of a Parisian architect — with three older brothers working in the same field — Victoria Wilmotte had one thing going for her when she started studying furniture design at London's RCA four years ago. But she also had a few handicaps: she was only 20 years old, she had just been rejected from Paris's ENSCI school, and her professor at RCA, Jurgen Bey, couldn't comprehend her strange working methods. Obsessed with materials and surfaces, she wanted to spend all her time in the workshop, skipping the thinking and brainstorming part and going directly to prototyping. "Jurgen Bey was really into concepts," says Wilmotte, now 24. "He was more about a table telling stories, but I only wanted to talk technically. He basically said, 'I don't understand you. But continue.'"
Sweetu Patel of C'H'C'M'
"I like selling clothes that make people hyperventilate," says Sweetu Patel. "Furniture doesn't do that." Trained as a furniture designer himself, Patel was the original founder of the design brand Citizen Citizen, but after giving up that business and putting in five years on the sales floor of New York's Cappellini showroom, he shifted gears to start the online men's clothing shop C'H'C'M' last year. As it happens, though, Patel's purveyorship of classic heritage brands represents more of a return than a departure — back to the clothing he grew up around, back to his sartorial instincts, back to the business model Citizen Citizen was originally meant to follow. We've always been a fan of Patel's work, so we asked him to tell us his story, then share the eight inspirations that have led him to where he is now.
Art of McSweeney's
To an extent, Art of McSweeney's — an oral history of the San Francisco–based quarterly, from Chronicle Books — is about the quirky illustrations, charts, graphs, and covers that have defined the look of Dave Eggers's publishing venture for the last twelve years. But even more, it's about the art of book-making, which in this case means reproductions of original sketches; odd detours to visit Arni and Bjössi, the Icelandic printers who produced more than a dozen issues before McSweeney's moved its printing facilities to Singapore and North America; interviews with authors and artists; charts of printing specs; drawings of pensive clouds; and guides to reviewing unsolicited material.
Suki Cheema, Textile Designer
Sighted on the website of Dossier, the Brooklyn-based fashion and culture journal: An interview with the London-born textile designer Suki Cheema. "He collects vintage china, takes annual trips to India and owns more art books than is generally healthy. If these are his joys, then his work — translating these elements into unique textiles that are classic and exotic, artistic and marketable — can be nothing less than a passion."
J. & L. Lobmeyr
Since its founding six generations ago, Lobmeyr has tended to follow its own compass rather than listening to the whims of the market — in other words, it's never been afraid to be a little bit different. It's why the company moved from its original role as glass merchants to manufacturers; what inspired a relationship with the radical designers of the Wiener Werkstätte; and why the company today collaborates with designers like Polka, whose 2008 beer glasses boast an engraving based on the goals scored during a 1978 soccer match between Austria and Germany.
AvroKo's Anglo-Asian Influences
For the designers behind AvroKo, the New York firm known for its high-concept restaurant interiors, the most personal projects often start out as group obsessions. Lately, apropos of nothing, they've been compiling a collection of silent video clips featuring modern furniture or architecture, snipped from movies or pulled from obscure design archives. So far it's just a game — "a meme floating around the office," as partner Kristina O'Neal puts it — but the first time the team was so possessed, they began with a bank of photographs and ended up opening a restaurant. After securing several projects in Asia a few years back, they began carefully documenting the bizarre cultural mash-ups they found while on trips out East, from mangled English translations to neon-lit religious altars; in 2008 they opened Double Crown in New York's East Village as an homage to their Anglo-Asian fascination, with food evoking the 19th-century British occupation of India, China, and Singapore. With a new AvroKo office in Hong Kong fielding projects like the recently opened New York–style eatery Lily in Bloom, their anthropological depository keeps growing.
Jason Rosenberg, Artist
The first time I met Brooklyn artist Jason Rosenberg, I brought him a present. It was nothing fancy. Earlier that day, I'd gone to the doctor and left with a prescription tucked inside a tiny plastic pharmaceutical bag, printed with a picture of a pill and the name of a generic medication. Lest my gift-giving skills be called into question, I should explain that I was headed that night to Kiosk, the New York shop where Rosenberg was hosting a Plastic Bag Happening: The idea was to bring a bag and either exchange it for one of the many Rosenberg has collected over the years, or to have the artist, equipped with his vintage White sewing machine, transform the bag into something totally different — a hat, a pencil case, a coin purse, a wallet. I walked away with two slim sacks from Systembolaget, Sweden's chain of state-sponsored liquor shops; Rosenberg, when I visited him in his Greenpoint studio last month, was still holding on to the bag I'd brought, though where to find it in his heaps of pseudo-organized boxes, bins, and file folders was another story.
Katharina Trudzinski, Artist
When Hamburg-based artist and textile designer Katharina Trudzinski decided to take a second residence in Berlin this spring, she found an inexpensive live-work space on the fringes of the up-and-coming Neuköln neighborhood — the city's equivalent of Bushwick, Brooklyn — and saved two months' rent by promising the landlord she'd renovate. But it was imagination, not thrift, that inspired her next move: After stripping the wood paneling from the walls and ceilings and tearing down a few ill-conceived door frames, she began painting the detritus and incorporating it into her sculptural installations and high-relief paintings. Made from constellations of scraps, street finds, and everyday junk cloaked in perfectly calibrated hues, her work — some of which becomes inspiration for the pieces in her clothing line — is meant to dialogue with its surroundings. "It's not my intent that the materials should be cheap, I just like to use things that are around me," she says. "I like to start with what I've got."
Art in the Age
When Philadelphia adman Steven Grasse talks about his 20 years at the helm of Gyro Worldwide, the successful agency he shuttered in 2008, his assessment is as blunt as you might expect from the man who invented Bikini Bandits, a video series about strippers, guns, and hot rods: "I was the asshole who did the Camel ads," he says. "At Gyro, we had this 'I'll fuck anything that moves' philosophy." That all changed in 2008, when he sold Sailor Jerry — the rum brand he created before going on to help develop Hendrick's Gin — to William Grant & Sons for "more money than I ever made in advertising," he says. Grasse quickly changed the name of his agency to Quaker City Mercantile, and transformed its mission completely. "Now we only work on brands that we create and own or with clients I truly like personally," he says. The most personal of those projects is Art in the Age, the Old City store and liquor brand Grasse began working on the day he sold Sailor Jerry.
To Live in a Schindler House, by Pin-Up Editor Felix Burrichter
In March, Pin-Up magazine editor Felix Burrichter packed his bags and left New York for an extended stay in Los Angeles, where he met up with the Vienna artist Sarah Ortmeyer. Chosen for one of four annual residencies with Vienna's Museum for Applied Arts (MAK) — whose L.A. branch is based in architect Rudolph Schindler's 1922 Kings Road House — the pair have spent the intervening months shacked up in a two-bedroom apartment at the museum's Mackey building, working on a joint project they'll present on September 10. Called "XXX BURRICHTER ORTMEYER," its main element is a publication focused on the mercurial relationship between Schindler and his wife; Burrichter has also taken advantage of the proximity to give the fall issue of Pin-Up an L.A. theme. Architecture buff that he is, we got to wondering how else he'd been inspired by his surroundings, so we invited him to share with us the experience of living in the recently renovated Mackey building, whose five apartments Schindler built in his trademark style in 1939. "It's like living in a little museum," he says. "At first we were like, this is crazy, but it's really the perfect apartment, even though it's so basic. We've been here for four and a half months now, and the longer we stay, the more we realize how well thought-out it is."
Everyday Growing by Juliette Warmenhoven
Juliette Warmenhoven grew up in Holland's so-called bulb district, near Haarlem, in a small village called Hillegom. Her father is a flower farmer. If it all sounds very quaint, it might have been 20 years ago — but then tulip production went the way of the meat industry thanks to globalization, and farming became a race to create the maximum amount of homogenous bulbs in the shortest amount of time. "My father feels farming is like working in a factory now," says the Arnhem-based designer. Just as shrink-wrapped steak has been divorced from the killing of the cow, plants are more about the perfection of the end product than the actual growing process. "I believe that when you explain that process to people, they get more feeling out of it," she says. For Everyday Growing, her graduation project at Arnhem's ArtEZ school, she built a series of small monuments to plants' humble — and often imperfect — origins.
Plastic Dreams: Synthetic Visions in Design
There are several somewhat shocking things about Plastic Dreams: Synthetic Visions in Design, the first book out from a new eponymous imprint by ex-Taschen impresarios Charlotte & Peter Fiell. First and most arresting is its bright orange, webbed half-slipcover, designed by the Brazilian shoe company Melissa and infused with that company's signature scent: It's somewhere between a piece of tutti-frutti chewing gum and a bottle of Designer Imposters fragrance. Second is the reminder that some plastics aren't wholly synthetic — a fact that's easily forgotten — but rather the descendants of various amazingly named rubber plants, like Gamboge, Gutta Percha, and Caoutchouc. And third is the realization of just how many products would never have been possible, or would at least have been dramatically altered, without the material's development: dental plates, curling irons, vinyl LPs, and more.

Australia will meet New Zealand in the Cricket World Cup final after defeating India by 95 runs at the SCG.
Steve Smith was the hero for the co-hosts, notching up a score of 105 off just 93 balls to set up an imposing total of 328 for India to chase.
Australia's innings didn't get off to the best of starts after star opener David Warner was dismissed for just 12.
It was left up to Steve Smith and Aaron Finch to steady to ship, and it was the vice-captain who pressed on, notching up a century at his home ground.
Smith looked certain to push on and make a massive score, but a wayward shot saw him caught in the deep.
The big-hitting Glenn Maxwell then came to the crease and the Victorian begun in typical fashion, smashing a massive 102 metre six to get the Sydney crowd off its feet.
Maxwell wasn't able to push on with his big score and was caught on 18, his partner Aaron Finch shortly followed after a solid knock of 81.
Australian skipper Michael Clarke needed to settle things down, but the 33-year-old was sent back to the pavilion for just 10.
James Faulkner didn't fare much better and was cleaned bowled by the impressive Umesh Yadav.
Australia then managed to push on past a 300+ score, and they had Virat Kohli to thank in part after he dropped an absolute sitter.
The co-hosts reached above-par total of 328 and left India with it all to do.
India began brightly, with the opening pairing of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma putting on a partnership of 76.
However, Dhawan pushed his luck a little too far and was caught by Glenn Maxwell after looking for the boundary.
India expected a big score from star batsman Virat Kohli, but he was dismissed for just 1 after he skied a Mitchell Johnson short ball.
Rohit Sharma looked like he would steady the ship, but he edged Johnson straight onto the stumps to trudge back to the pavilion on 34.
Australia all-rounder James Faulkner then got in on the act, claiming the wicket of Suresh Raina to leave India in trouble at 108-4.
Michael Clarke's men then somehow nabbed a successful review despite the lack of appeals from the slips.
Snicko barely registered a noise, but the fourth umpire gave it and it left the Indians reeling at 178-5.
Ravindra Jadeja and India skipper MS Dhoni were then both run out after brilliant pieces of fielding by Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell.
James Faulkner then played havoc on the India lower order, picking up two wickets in two balls to put Australia on the brink of reaching the final.
Mitchell Starc then got the job done for the Australians, clean bowling Umesh Yadav to spark celebrations at the SCG.

Eminent Domain Escalation Review Experts Expansion
Eminent Domain Escalation Review - An Expert's Expansion
Published: May 5, 2015 11:00 AM
By: Travis Williams
There are many reasons that expansions are created for games. Sometimes an expansion is needed to fix problems that exist in the base game. Other times expansions simply add more of what made the game good in the first place to increase variety and re-playability. Still, other expansions focus on adding complexity and depth to the existing game by adding additional mechanics or tweaking or putting a new spin on existing formulas. Eminent Domain: Escalation is the latter type of expansion, adding new mechanics, tweaking existing formulas, and even giving the base game's ship miniatures different game effects which, somewhat confusingly, came in three separate sculpts in the base game even though they all had the exact same function.
The different ship sculpts now have different game effects and are acquired by trading/upgrading or via certain new cards.
Eminent Domain is a great game in its own right and manages to stand alone without the addition of Escalation. What Escalation brings to the game is what I can't help but refer to as an 'expert's mode.' Eminent Domain is fun, engaging, easy to learn and teach, and there are enough strategic options that players can play it many times without feeling as if the game has run its course or has run out of strategic depth. Escalation is intended for players who are savvy to the strategic options of the base game and ratchets up the depth and complexity significantly enough that it can make the game feel overwhelming to new players while veteran players will appreciate what Escalation adds to the game.
Escalation's planets have a slew of new abilities including some that grant resources that refresh at the begging of the controlling player's turn.
Not only does Escalation give different meaning to the existing ship models, but it introduces many new ways in which the ships can be used. The ships are no longer simply a means to conquer planets. Escalation allows them to be used to research new technologies in place of Research cards; the biggest ship grants a bonus of victory points and can even make conquering planets using other ships cheaper and more efficient. Additionally, there are new planet types that can only be conquered by certain ship types, dramatically increasing the value and flexibility of what was simply a single use resource in the base game.
New Technologies are included in the expansion that have fun new Actions as well as interesting new uses and costs.
Escalation also offers enough role cards that the game can now be played with 5 players and nearly every aspect of the game has received the same type of overhaul as the ships. New planets have new abilities, new Technologies add interesting options while having new costs associated and many cards introduce new effects. Many of Escalation's cards can be played as resources or ships rather than simply being played to boost a role. Escalation also introduces a way in which players are allowed to attack and conquer other player's surveyed planets. While attacking other player's planets is somewhat indirect, it is still a great addition to have the option to interfere with them in an attempt to foil their plans.
There are new starting planets on offer as well, including Prestige planets. Prestige planets don't help players qualify for most Technology cards but have other strengths to make up for it.
By far the best addition from Escalation comes in the form of Scenario cards. Scenario cards give each player a different starting deck and most give each player a specific starting planet and one or more Technologies with which to start the game. The Scenario cards add just enough asymmetry between players to really shake things up. Scenario cards will generally encourage each player towards a specific strategy so there is the possibility of players starting with a deck that leans towards a strategy that they don't enjoy but that can be mitigated by drafting or selecting a Scenario card rather than drawing at random. The Scenario cards keep the game fresh and exciting and dramatically increase re-playability.
The Scenario cards not only determine which cards will be in each player's starting deck but also give each player one or more starting Technologies and determine their starting planet.
The only slight negative with Escalation are the rules for two players. The two player rules instruct the players to remove a certain number of role cards from the game prior to the game's start. Removing these cards can make the two player game feel too short. It is easy enough to ignore this rule though and shouldn't deter anyone from considering this expansion, especially players who felt the original game dragged too long with two players. Those players should instead see this rule change as a positive.
A note on "chrome": The art, cards and components from Escalation all fit in seamlessly with the base game. The box for Escalation is small enough that it fits neatly into the box insert from the base game, saving shelf space for players who like to hang on to their game boxes like I do. Escalation also includes some updated components that have errata for earlier versions of Eminent Domain, including a big sticker for the Role board to bring it in line with the newer print versions of the game.
Eminent Domain: Escalation is a great expansion to a great game although it isn't for everyone. Players new to the game should hold off on getting Escalation until they are already familiar with Eminent Domain, as the added complexity can be off-putting to newer players. Players who are familiar with Eminent Domain that are looking to significantly up the strategic depth of the game and add in splashes of asymmetry and increase player interaction, will find the Escalation has a lot to offer them.
Eminent Domain: Escalation can be purchased from Amazon here.
The copy of Eminent Domain: Escalation used for this review was provided by Tasty Minstrel Games.
Eminent Domain: Escalation is a great expansion for experienced players. It greatly increases the game's strategic depth but may be off-putting to new players.

L'Open Group est un consortium de normalisation neutre vis-à-vis des fournisseurs et des technologies (c'est-à-dire qu'il ne dépend pas d'une marque ou d'une technologie en particulier) composé de plus de trois cents organisations membres. L'Open Group définit des normes dans le domaine de l'ingénierie informatique, en particulier les interfaces de programmation.

Historique

Au début des années 1990, la plupart des fournisseurs de systèmes UNIX ont commencé à s'apercevoir que les rivalités de standards (dite « Guerre des UNIX ») faisait plus de mal que de bien à l'ensemble des protagonistes en laissant la concurrence ouverte à Microsoft. On peut considérer la mise en place du Common Open Software Environment en 1993 comme un premier pas vers l'unification dont la fusion en 1996 de l'Open Software Foundation (OSF) et d'X/Open Company pour former l'Open Group serait l'aboutissement. Étant donné que l'OSF avait fusionné avec UNIX International en 1994, l'Open Group représentait alors effectivement tous les éléments de la communauté UNIX de l'époque.

 En 1994, Novell transfère la marque Unix à X/Open.
 En 1997, le Consortium X a transféré ses droits et responsabilités sur X Window System à l'Open Group.
 En 1999, X.Org a été mis en place pour gérer X Window System avec les moyens fournis par l'Open Group. Les membres d'X.Org ont développé plusieurs distributions jusqu'à X11R6.8 alors que l'Open Group fournissaient les moyens de gestion du projet.
 En 2004, X.Org et l'Open Group ont collaboré pour établir la Fondation X.Org qui a alors pris le contrôle du nom de domaine x.org et la gestion d'X Window System.

Activités
L'organisation est reconnue pour la publication de la Single UNIX Specification, qui remplace les normes POSIX aux yeux de plusieurs développeurs de systèmes d'exploitation.

L'Open Group possède également la marque de commerce UNIX. L'Open Group offre des services de certification, de test de conformité aux normes et plusieurs publications à l'usage des divers systèmes d'exploitation dérivés d'Unix. Nombre de ces publications sont accessibles aux membres exclusivement.

Au cours de son existence, l'organisation invente et standardise, notamment:

 La Single UNIX Specification
 La Call Level Interface (à la base d'ODBC)
 Le Common Desktop Environment, CDE
 OpenDoc, une ancienne spécification pour documents composites
 LDAP (le Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
 L'ensemble de widgets, Motif (utilisé dans CDE)

L'Open Group certifie également des logiciels hors de leur contrôle, tel :

 Les implémentations de CORBA, Common Request Broker Architecture, tel que défini par le Object Management Group
 La Linux Standard Base du Free Standards Group

Le terme UNIX98 fut mis en place par l'Open Group.

L'Open Group a développé un framework méthodologique d'architecture informatique (TOGAF - The Open Group Architecture Framework) utilisé par les Architectes d'Entreprise (EA).

Circles are a favorite design element for me and one that shows up often in my art journaling projects so I couldn't wait to make something for the challenge! I even took a few photos of the process so you could see the steps I took to make my page.
My page actually started out as a gelli print. This was a print created with the new 6" Gelli Plate and a variety of texture sheets. This might have even been my scrap piece of paper that I used to clean the gelli plate....all I know is that it's been included in my pile of "partially completed art journal pages" for months!
I then added a whole lot of stenciling! I used paints from Dina Wakley and PaperArtsy, along with Jet Black Archival Ink. Stencils are from The Crafters Workshop and Donna Downey. The goal of creating this page was to use a lot of color and pattern...I think I accomplished that goal! Normally my backgrounds would be a combination of colors that are closer to each other on the color wheel, for example, blue and green tones vs. the combo that's on this page. There's a method to the madness!
Cover your entire background with a dark paint! AAAHHHH!!! This is the scariest and best part ever! I took a Julie Fei-Fan Balzer class last year and she encouraged this kind of crazy behavior! I accepted her challenge and I've never looked back! WooHoo! This is pure magic...I am crazy over the look of the purple paint (Blackberry Violet from Dina Wakley) in contrast to all of designs peeking through the black-lined circles. It's drama, baby!
I added some circle images from the Don't Forget to Fly stamp set, designed by Finnabair, stamped in white ink, which looks fab on that dark background. I aged a small manila tag with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, added a cardstock circle, surrounded by more Stabilo and some black thread, and the sentiment (also from the same Finnabair stamp set). The butterfly was stamped on designer paper, fussy cut, and adhered with a glue dot. I added some glass beads (from Liquidtex) and glass glitter, also from Finnabair (glass glitter ROCKS!) The metal pen nib is from Timmy (Holtz, that is).
I hope you enjoyed today's project! Be sure to check out all of the other wonderful creations posted on the PaperArtsy blog!
Oh, and the entire eclectic Paperie store is 50% off today! Use code BIGNEWS50 when checking out!
Hello strangers! I know...it has been ages since I've regularly posted on my blog. There have been some big changes happening over here in the Paperie Petals world, and I'm hoping that those changes will enable me to spend more time making art and more time sharing art.
The biggest change is that I sold my store, eclectic Paperie! In case you haven't heard, the store was acquired by The Funkie Junkie Boutique. You can read all about the news here. I'm super excited about the sale and thrilled that eP's ever loyal customer base still has a wonderful place to shop for their craft supplies. If you've never shopped at The Funkie Junkie, you should check out the store, they have a broad variety of products for paper crafters.
Let's get chatting about the recent Life Book lesson by Flora Bowley. Oh my...I think was my all time favorite Life Book lesson this year! This lesson was all about letting go and creating with lots and lots of layers. And this was the first time I kept layering. Can I share that I have a free of layering? Seriously, it's a problem! I tend to be ok with a few layers, but then I get stuck...and I did indeed get stuck with this project...so I added another layer! And I love how this turned out...it really was the shape that developed through the layers. Great fun!
You can see some of the marks under the orange paint. Oh, and this was the first time I understood the joys of transparent paint! The orange over the top, a Golden paint, was perfect for allowing all of the other layers to peek through. Most of the paints I used on this project were Golden, Paper Artsy, and Dina Wakley..my three top favorites.
And check out the texture! Ohhh!! That was created by using dimensional paints from Art Anthology. I added the paint and then created a design by using a brush handle. Art Anthology paints are super thick and perfect for creating dimension. I also used stencils from Donna Downey and stamps from Julie Fei-Fan Balzer and Dina Wakley. I'll post links to the supplies I used, at the end of my post.
I have one more project to share from this lesson, as Flora encouraged us to work on two pieces at once, another great piece of artistic advise, and I'll share that in the coming days.

You Are Here: Home > Search > Authors > David Richards
DAVID RICHARDS' education at the Royal Military College in Kingston and his experience as a member of the Canadian Army for six years provided him with the perfect background to explore his fictional territories. First there was Soldier Boys (Thistledown Press, 1993) that transformed the Northwest Rebellion from a "history lesson into a human drama." Next came Lady at Batoche (Thistledown Press, 1999) that rewrote the Gabriel Dumont/ Louis Riel mythology and won a Saskatchewan Book Award. In 2007, The Plough's Share vividly encompassed late nineteenth century England, the Boer War, and Canada's Barr Colonist experience. In The Source of Light (2011) Richards focuses his attention, research and storytell;ing on science and technology
David Richards lives in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan for part of the year and Tahsis, a beautiful ocean village on the west coast of Vancouver Island, for the rest of the year.
The Source of Light profiles two seventeen-year-olds, Badger and Mike, as they put on their detective mind sets and physical disguises to seek answers to serious questions such as Mike's mother's infidelity and Mike's father's involvement in industrial espionage. Obsessed with sleuthing and science, these grade-twelve geeks begin a transformation that will change the lives of everyone they know. Setting the mystery against the background of a synchrotron, a football field-sized facility that uses light millions of times brighter than the sun to peer inside matter, the teen detectives soon begin to connect the world's most powerful microscope to nefarious black market schemes and the powerful men who spawn them. The result of their investigative surveillance uncovers the complicated truth of a parent's infidelity, the secret plans of a synchrotron physicist with a split personality, evidence of a foreign agent, and the discovery of a powerful secret code named the Genesis Project that has become the target for international corporate theft.
This novel is dedicated to the pure fun of dazzling light science, the adventure of private investigation, and the surprise when you suddenly discover your true purpose in life while trying to learn someone else's.

The Lady at Batoche
The Lady at Batoche is a story of three young people who are changed forever by the brutal simplicities of battle. It shares the same meticulous research and vivid recreation of history as Richards' much-praised first novel, Soldier Boys but it also answers some of the more puzzling riddles of the Métis rebellion: why did Gabriel Dumont, the brilliant soldier and hardnosed entrepreneur, put such faith in the unworldly visions of Louis Riel? Why were the implacable enemies, Dakota and Cree warriors, both on the Métis side? And how did the Métis get outflanked by General Middleton's forces?

The Plough's Share
Dispelling the languor often associated with the long historical novel David Richards' epic novel reestablishes the role of the writer-craftsman in this genre.
Replete with historical accuracy, The Plough's Share is as much about the complex struggles for self-worth as it is about taming the forces that shaped Canada in the last century.
Set alternatively in England, South Africa, and Canada, the novel translates the world of nineteenth-century England. A young man's quest to regain his name and win a seductive young woman unfolds as Richards turns loose the hardship, blood, and terror of the Boer War, where men struggle to survive. The reprieve from such madness leads to Canada — the place of peace and plenty, where exploiting the dreamers and those who would reinvent themselves is turned into big business. Caught up in the fever that drew the Barr colonists to the challenge of settling the Canadian West, Richards' characters are shaped by misdirected enthusiasm, implacable natural forces, and the hardened realism of ravaged dreams. The result is an exhilarating adventure, both tense and riveting.

Regional Reviews: Albuquerque/Santa Fe
Musical Theatre Southwest
Review by Stephanie Hainsfurther
Also see Stephanie's review of The Addams Family and Mark's review of Benchwarmers
Colin Burdge
Photo by Jason Ponic Photography
The novella "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson is considered by literary critics to be one of the most perfect books ever written in structure and style. The musical based on this book (with music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Wildhorn, Leslie Bricusse and Steve Cuden, and book by Leslie Bricusse) does not stick to that structure or plot: in this iteration of the story, Dr. Jekyll wants to separate the good from the evil in mankind by chemical injection, believing he will then be able to control evil behavior and the anguish it causes. When he cannot convince the board of the hospital where he works to let him have one human experimental subject, he turns the experiment on himself. This musical also introduces romance and a simple theme of good versus evil. For a modern audience, it works.
The original theme was of outward piety masking inward perversity, that hypocrisy of the Victorian era too familiar in our own, brought out in this play by a musical theme called "Facade," repeated throughout. Directed by Robb Anthony Sisneros, the Musical Theatre Southwest production stays true to that theme with an Upstairs, Downstairs set design and moody lighting that lets us know when we're in the heights or the gutter.
Dr. Jekyll's (Colin Burdge) two romantic conquests also leave us in no doubt, written as they are based on virgin/whore templates. Emma Carew (Daniela Deuel) is Jekyll's fiancee, daughter of his upper-class champion Sir Danvers Carew (Rick Baldwin). Emma is a brunette, so we know she's the good girl who believes in him and loves him unconditionally. Lucy Harris (Courtney Awe) is the blonde bad girl, a dancer and prostitute at the Red Rat Club who falls in love with Jekyll because he is kind to her. Both women have the acting and singing chops, and the looks, to be credible in their roles. Awe's dancing and lengthy time on stage add to the degree of difficulty of her role, and she rises to it admirably.
The central role, of course, is Dr. Henry Jekyll/Mr. Edward Hyde, and Burdge amazes as someone who has the talent and energy to support both roles using only his voice and physicality to transform himself from one to the other and back again. He looks and acts the part, and his singing voice, as always, is strong and steady. The small onstage orchestra led by conductor Cheryl Sharps is a wonderful addition to this serious musical play, and elevates the performance to the level of its subject matter.
There are some real standouts among the chorus and speaking/singing characters. Austin Embree has an important role as John Utterson, the narrator of the tale and Jekyll's caring companion who suffers because of what is happening to his friend. Bridget Kelly as Nellie, the madame of the Red Rat, somehow conveys empathy for her girls in the very brief bits she is given. Shadow Dancers Trey Caperton and Xavier Visage convey an entire story through their movements. And each loathsome person on the hospital board of directors makes his or her character indelible.
I always have quibbles and here they are: the singers have no bits of business to occupy them while they were waiting to sing. Those few seconds of watching them stand there with nothing to do took me right out of the story. Opening night glitches are understandable, but the sound system problems should be worked out during tech week. Utterson's narration, for instance, was undermined by a nonworking personal mic. This "frame" is a crucial part of the plot in the book, generating empathy for Jekyll and a sense of inevitability and therefore tragedy. I missed that driving emotion on stage.
MTS has ironed out these glitches, I am sure. This is a production with a straightforward theme yet many moving parts, all offering a spooky immersion in Old London. Happy Halloween!

I'm using FEBE with FireFox Nightly since 2 or 3 years now (on Mac) and never had a problem. But with the upgrade to FF Nightly to version 56 FEBE hangs FF in such a way, that I need to "force kill" Nightly. I was not able to get any further information, as I found no possibility to do any real debugging of the issue. Only thing I found: Starting with a fresh Nightly w/o any Add-Ons, installing FEBE (but _not_ configure it!) and restarting Nightly gives no problems, no hang, nothing. As soon as I open the configuration box of FEBE and try to browse for a place to store backups, Nightly hangs, the Mac "rotating ball" appears and only "force kill" lets me stop Nightly.
Anything I could to to help get FEBE working with Nightly again?
It most likely has to do with the introduction of multi-process in Fx. Others have mentioned that this affects FEBE operation. You can disable multi-process with the instructions found here. Unfortunately, this is only a temporary solution as FEBE will no longer be supported after the release of Fx v57 this fall.
Hm, I tried with FF multiprocessing disabled - the problem persists.
ks234 wrote: … multiprocessing disabled - the problem persists.
With Waterfox, without multiprocess, I get a hang by simply opening the FEBE Options window for the first time.
Similarly on Kubuntu Linux: simply opening the FEBE Options window, for the first time, causes Waterfox 56.0.1 to hang, to stop responding.
It's necessary to terminate the application (comparable to the force quit that's necessary on Mac OS X).
With apologies for bumping … Chuck, please, did you make any progress with this?
Most remarkable is reproducibility of problems when FEBE is added to a new/clean profile.
Reproducible with FBEE 8.9.3.1 alone added to a new profile with release 56.0.2 of Firefox on build 16G1210 of Mac OS X 10.12.6. Simply opening the Options window of FEBE causes Firefox to stop responding.


Debt consolidation reduction loans is an affordable way to save cash when it comes to paying down your debts as time passes. Any time a person decides on debt consolidation, many lesser financial obligations are merged straight into one large financial loan, which is subsequently paid back to the debt consolidation loan company through just one monthly payment. Consumers with a debt consolidation loan in Angels Camp can also be in the position to spend less due to the single rate of interest for the single debt consolidation loan. You certainly will want to look into this knowing that the disparities between different interest rates are vast.
Have you got numerous debts? Numerous credit card accounts? You need to learn everything about the debt consolidation loan opportunities that exist in California. Avoid being concerned about a number of different credit card and financial loan balances. Best of all, you will have that many fewer due dates to remember. You can just deal with a single on time installment. The best thing about that is that you will be far less likely to overlook a payment or to make a overdue payment, defending your credit rating.
Debt consolidation reduction is used by Angels Camp residents as a way of being economical, while paying back debts with the help of convenient-to-remember installments. Consolidating your debt results in one open account, and that will mean having a single small interest rate. When your consolidation loan interest is lower than the total rate of interest of your other balances, you will save. You could save yourself a few hundred or even a couple of thousand by receiving a consolidation loan with the right terms and conditions. The chief objective is to save your money, so don't accept any debt consolidation loan which doesn't.
At this stage, consolidating debts is probably sounding pretty good to you, for the numerous reasons mentioned. Now, what should you do next? You will have to fulfill a particular standard to acquire this sort of loan.
Consolidation loan companies try to find excellent credit history in their clients. After all, because consolidation loans typically are offered in extremely high sums, banking institutions and other loan companies are distrustful and cautious regarding loaning such significant sums of cash to those having bad and even average credit score histories. You'll need an excellent credit history if you are going to try this method.
Do you have fantastic credit history? A credit score of at least 700 can make you qualified for the majority of debt consolidation loans in Angels Camp. Debt consolidation loan acceptance, though mostly determined by credit history, can entail other critical factors at the same time. Debt consolidation loan status is essentially influenced by whether or not you're working or receive any source of income. Poor credit in addition to no income source equals no consolidation loan. Less-than-perfect credit plus reliable source of income = zero consolidation loan. Outstanding credit history + little or no income equals no loan. Excellent credit rating combined with regular income = consolidation loan approved!
Okay, so you have got the steady source of income and the exceptional credit. You are all but guaranteed approval to get a consolidation loan in Angels Camp, California. Now what? To begin with, it would be a smart idea to give consideration to which obligations you should consolidate. The consolidation loan provider is going to need to know this information, plus the total settlement amount required. Add up the total for each of the bills so that you can have this information at hand, too.
There shouldn't be unreasonable massive interest rates on a debt consolidation loan, so watch out for such offers. This will be a major consideration in terms of ensuring your consolidation loan will save you just as much funds as you possibly can in the timeframe of its loan repayment period. It is easy to find out what organizations have got the greatest rates. It necessitates a little investigation and could help save hundreds to thousands of dollars.
There is more to picking the right debt consolidation reduction lender than rates of interest. You'll want to take time to look into specific terms and conditions of the loan consolidations. The conditions of the loan arrangement should include this information: interest, overdue payment fees and implications, monthly installment amount, regular deadline, and duration of repayment agenda.
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) could have ratings for the loan provider under consideration, so it is worthwhile to check it out. That is a very beneficial source of information because the BBB scores reflect the content material of customer comments and the excellence of customer service. Generally, you must never opt for a loan company that has anything below an A- rating. The firms with A ratings are the best to do business with.
Whichever agency you opt to work with will have you start by submitting the consolidation loan application. W2s and check stubs can be enough as proof of earnings, and you will also need to present verification of your id, even when you fill out the consolidation loan application form online. You must be able to display evidence you are who you allege you are and also your pay is what you declare it is. You'll want to present information about the loans that you're trying to consolidate.
Filling out an application on the internet is only one solution. All you have to do is search out a consolidation loan company which allows telephone and postal mail applications. Any approach is equally acceptable and efficient, although using the mail services are not quite as quick as working on the internet or phone.
After filling out a loan application, you'll patiently await the response. The financial institution is going to conduct a credit investigation and check your personal information. Whenever the loan provider accepts or denies your application you are notified. You can watch for getting your loan approval through mail, email, or phone. You will be approached via the same approach which you applied for the loan, if you do not request another communication strategy be employed.
Approved loan applicants shall be expected to fill in and sign some relevant forms. During this time period, try to be cautious to study the whole thing before signing it. Whether or not the fine print seems to be of little importance, read it to make certain. In spite of a great reputation and an excellent ranking with the BBB, an organization may still have a number of particulars in the fine print that you are less inclined to examine. That's it. Sign the paperwork, and the loan company does the remainder. Over the course of the next few months, you will be getting postal mail letters from each one of the accounts you have resolved. They're going to inform you that the debt is paid. Hang onto the correspondence in a safe place.
Now, we ought to observe that the credit score prerequisites for the consolidation approach will be too much for a lot of debt ridden people. Typically, ratings less than 700 don't end up getting these loans. Having said that, the good news is that this doesn't need to indicate that you cannot focus on reducing your debts faster or in a way that can help save more cash with time. In fact, there are plenty of solutions that you might need to factor in should you have multiple financial obligations and personal loans that you would like to focus on paying down.
It's not unheard of for Angels Camp citizens to end up troubled with such a tremendous amount of consumer debt they cannot ever hope to pay it back. For those , a debt settlement program is an alternative. Enormous amounts of financial debt, whenever coupled with weak credit, make debt settlement the ideal solution. Much of your financial debt can in fact be done away with by working with a debt settlement organization. In concert, your debt settlement agent and lenders will come up with an understanding which is satisfactory to the creditors, the organization, and you. This can be an incredible method for reducing the full regular monthly installment that you're required to pay out. So, you could more easily render well-timed installments, and as time passes, your credit is going to improve.
Remember, however, that debt settlement programs have a price. Commonly, it'll cost you a specific percentage on the full amount of debt settled. This can be more than you anticipate. Even so, it may be the most appropriate solution for your financial situation.
Not anyone ever seeks to find themselves staring personal bankruptcy in the face, yet it happens. Naturally, you will not want to even look at going bankrupt except for when you have no other reasonable choice. After all, while bankruptcy can certainly help you out in the short and long term by assisting you to have a few of your debts forgiven, the reality is that getting a bankruptcy hearing on your credit report is a surefire way to be not qualified for many loans for many years in the future. From your process of filing for bankruptcy, you tag yourself, from the view of creditors and banking institutions, as a poor risk.
Your bankruptcy filing is a lot like pulling the plug on the life support of your economic situation. You stop fighting to keep the banking account alive, and you search for closure while you mourn the loss of your credit score and economic credibility. In moments of submitting a Chapter 7/Chapter 13 personal bankruptcy, your credit rating is going to fall significantly; not by 60 or 75 pts, but by 250 or even more. To say it in view, this is the distinction between a 620 score and a 430 rating. Something that requires a credit assessment, any kind of financial loans, any purchases you would like to create - most of these things will be unavailable to you, when your credit rating is scarred by a bankruptcy proceeding.
To make a bad circumstance even more difficult, between lawyers and processing fees, individual bankruptcy costs a lot of cash. It may be quite demanding and complex to make it through individual bankruptcy proceedings. For this reason, a legal professional is a good resource. Legal professionals are not cheap, of course. You need to investigate exactly how much your expenses are going to be. It might be just one established cost, or it can be based on a % of the debt.
Bankruptcy has a number of benefits. If you are mired by excessive monthly payments and interest that you will never manage to get caught up with, having the ability to pay back certain debts using your properties and assets while getting good deals to get some other debt forgiven can make a bankruptcy proceeding a more sensible choice than it first seems to be. A few debts won't be subject to bankruptcy. You can number your student education loans on the list of debt which will not be resolved with the personal bankruptcy proceeding.
Don't choose bankruptcy to manage your debt in Angels Camp without first talking to a debt counseling professional. If any kind of other available choices exist that might be much less detrimental plus much more helpful, a professional in the consumer debt counseling industry can help you find them.
Clearly, you've got a whole lot of different options accessible to you. Whether applying for a consolidation loan, undergoing a debt settlement program, or even bankruptcy options, it is crucial for you to investigate your options and learn what one is best for you. Once you have finished this, you are able to feel much more confident in having tackled the challenge, and in realizing that your credit rating will recuperate.
