Tom Lehman is a software creator, programmer, and tech innovator, who also works as a sculptor creating ceramic which tread the line between form and functionality. The artist has been sculpting since he was 14 years old and has continued to shape ceramics and metals since then. Lehman's multimedia expertise is matched by his skilled use of glass, metal, clay, and other natural substances. His upcoming show Majorelle opens November 30th at Gowanus Loft in Brooklyn. We spoke to him about his inspiration, aesthetic and artistic aspirations.
What initially drew you to sculpture and ceramics?
I was first drawn to ceramics because my high school required us to take an art class to graduate and I thought ceramics would be the easiest way to get it over with. At that time I had the rather impoverished view that the intellectual aspects of life ought to take precedence over the physical and spiritual. Ceramics has helped me escape this to some degree.
How would you describe the aesthetic of the pieces you create?
My pieces are the by-products—the scraps if you will—of my true output as an "artist" which are teeny tiny internal steps toward something like mastery. So the aesthetic of my "pieces" is the same as the aesthetic of the scraps of clay that sometimes fall on the floor as a work—i.e., "who cares?".
What is the typical process of creation for any given ceramic you make?
The most important part of the process is getting out of the house and sitting down in front of the wheel—something I basically never want to do. Sometimes I trick myself by going to the studio, sitting in front of the wheel, and doing nothing. And then eventually I get bored and make something.
Which materials do you work in, and which do you prefer most?
I use all kinds of clay. Porcelain is the most beautiful but is difficult to work with. I like plain old White Stoneware as a good balance between beauty and workability.
The aesthetics of your ceramics range from clean and symmetrical (The Second Best Time) to more warped and amorphous (Worse is Better), what can we expect from your upcoming show in Brooklyn?
My new show Majorelle is inspired by the Majorelle Garden in Marrakesh—in particular, the contrast between its bright colored planters and cacti. However, I was sadly unable to find a good way to reproduce the famous Majorelle Blue so I had to settle for something more like International Klein Blue. I hope this does not affect my sales!
Do you ever create pieces that are completely aesthetically oriented? Or is there always an embedded functionality?
There is a highly commercial through-line in my work because I believe it's the best way to get feedback on your progress. It's free and easy for people to tell you they like your stuff—observe what they do and do not buy to learn their true opinion.
How would you like to challenge yourself going forward as an artist?
My goal is to do a show a year for 15 years. Majorelle will be my third, so I have 12 more to go.
What advice do you have for anyone interested in creating ceramics and/or sculpture?
Being great at pottery is the simplest thing in the world—just make 1,000 pots.

[Cruise News] Falmouth Harbour, Antigua
We've been here nearly a week now, partly trying to arrange paintwork repairs (still in progress) and hurricane season storage (done), but also because it's such a sheltered and spacious anchorage that we are getting really good nights sleep and it's hard to give that up! It's not been all work though: we've completed a couple of hikes along the rugged coastline, enjoyed a few meals out and taken the local bus service into the capital (St John's) where we had the best meal we've had in the four and a half months we've been out here. Really, really good.
St John's was a typical Caribbean capital with the added "delight" of having three cruise ships in town - a lot of pale bodies were wandering around buying the Caribbean equivalent of "kiss me quick" hats. And the vendors, knowing they have a captive market, hike up the prices quite unashamedly. Needless to say we didn't buy anything!
One thing we've noticed in the days we've been here is the Government's sensible approach to vehicle registrations. All rental car registrations are pre-fixed with "R", taxis with "TX", buses with "BUS", commerical vehicles with "C" and Government cars with "G". Makes it very easy for we tourists to flag down the right vehicle and know we're climbing aboard a registered bus/taxi.
We had a farewell meal with our good friends from Canada last night. By the time we return to Antigua after our jaunt around the remaining Leeward Islands, they will have long sailed for Curacao and will be home in Vancouver. They have been sailing for 21 years now, having retired in their late thirties to enjoy a life on the open seas, and have covered most regions with the exception of Western Europe and the Mediterranean. True "cruisers" with a wealth of experience and tales to tell, making us feel very much novice sailors .... but ask us again in twenty years times and we might have achieved their level of adventure!

I used my regular printer and some "Photo Fabric". I designed my label using my Mac's Printshop program, printed it out on the fabric sheet, peeled off the paper backing, rinsed in my kitchen sink and blotted dry. After ironing and cutting, they were ready to be sewn onto something.
Aaaaaaaaaargh! While pinking, I caught part of the leg and cut a d@#$ huge hole.
Umm, yes it is and no, Mommy can't fix it.
I guess I'm not *all that*.
But I do have my labels- and of course my beautiful boy.
I almost gave up on these because at first they looked very crooked and sloppy. I thought about changing my idea to something more like this, but Chris vetoed the idea claiming that "flags" belong on "Big Ford car lots". We argued discussed the definition of a bunting which I guess will always be just a bird in this house. I returned to my stars and with a little stuffing and pinking, I finally got something that looked good enough to hang.
The "Eddie Cap" Tutorial is Done!
Well folks, it took much longer than I wanted, but I was able to write and photo all the steps for this Cap. Some steps may be hard to figure out, but I tried to take a bunch of pictures to help with this.
I found these last week and just got them all washed and ready for some sewing this weekend. Yay for the Holidays!
Don't look too close since she was done in about an hour so is very sloppy, but I still love her. I made this using Moonstitches "Tutowlrial". It's a little funny to sew because there aren't any dimensions or patterns to follow on her site, but she has great pictures of the sewing part. My owl stands about 6 inches tall and she's fat, but that makes her easier to hug right?
I did it again- I went and copied another beloved object to try and improve on it. This time it was a train hat.
I really, really love this cap and will be making more for the boys and one for Dad. Doesn't Eddie need one for himself?
Honestly, don't you think every kid needs one of these?!
*Update- the "Eddie Cap" tutorial is done! Please click on the tab at the very top of my blog just under the Header image. Thanks for all the encouragement!
Chris and I've been known to make things rather than buy it. Some think it's wonderful, but others think it's just being cheap. Because of this, I've always felt a little unsure of myself when I give a handmade gift so I used to supplement it by buying a little something as well.
Recently and especially for this Christmas, I no longer have any hesitation. Mostly it's due to my discovery of craft blogs. I love seeing what everyone else is making and how proud they are to be giving the gift which they created. This has squelched all misgivings I have about giving lots of handmade gifts for Christmas this year.
Do you see my Handmade Holiday's button? Please check it out if you haven't already. SewMamaSew has devoted the whole month to gift giving ideas and even great tutorials to go along with it. Cotton Spice is also doing something similar with Last Minute Gift Countdown. (You've *got* to check out the owls!) How could you go wrong? I've even read that many other blogers have taken the Buy Handmade pledge. I'm not sure I can totally commit to buying or getting *only* homemade, but I love hearing that others are willing.
So with all this spurring me on, I've already started my "To Make" Christmas list and went out the Depot yesterday for more supplies.
These were easy to sew and are a great size. Using my Aunt's suggestions for the measurements and French seams, these look great and should work out well. I still have many more to make, but I just picked up some great fabric tonight so I can't wait to whip up more.
I used Stardust shoes' "revised" pattern and enlarged them enough to fit the kids' feet. I had to trim down the pink ones because when I enlarged the pattern 130% to fit a 18 month old, they turned out to be way too wide. The train one is lined with fleece and the pink on is lined with minkie. I also did not use suede for the bottoms, but instead used the polka dot "sticky" fabric. I figure that they will likely grow out of them before I have to worry about the fabric wearing out. I have 4 more pairs to make, but it should go faster now that I have the kinks worked out.
My list of other gifts is still growing daily, but at least I will be crossing things off as well.
What will you be making this Holiday Season?
Fini had asked me several months ago to make her a bag just like one she already owned. She used this bag for everything including diapers, snacks, sippys and toys. Essentially it was her diaper bag, but it was smaller and more of a mini-messenger type bag. It was given to her while she was in nursing school by her brother-in-law who had just came back from Japan. He said that all the students were using these at the time. Well, leave it to the Japanese crafters to come up with a simple, easy to use, stylish bag!
The outside fabric is a beautiful, soft corduroy, but it was thin so I added some weight by fusing flannel interfacing. The original bag was thick blue canvas-type material that wasn't lined or fused with anything. We had decided to line this bag with some cotton polka-dot fabric which I fused with the flannel as well. The two layers of flannel and fabric gives the bag some stiffness, but it's still nice and soft.
I top-stitched around the edge of the bag, but it was a real pain going through all those layers. I finally switched to my walking foot (which I hate because it sounds like I'm using my old clunker again) and the stitches went in smoothly. I highly suggest getting a walking foot when sewing bags or anything thick, but they are spendy ($40 for my Janome). I kicked myself for not putting mine on earlier, but the kids were sleeping and I wanted it to stay that way.
The original bag, in it's one layer simpleness, had this outside pocket which Fini really liked and wanted so I had to be sure it was right. The pocket had a somewhat water-proof lining which I thought was a great idea to keep things separated and if something spilled, the entire bag's contents wouldn't get wet as well. (Sippy cups DO leak, no?) All I had that would match was this red polka-dot oil cloth, but this was thicker than the stuff in the other bag so again, I made my bag thicker. Aaargh!
Figuring out how to sew the outside pocket together also threw me. I had sewn the outside form and the inside lining of the bag as usual in it's two separate pieces. The difference in this bag was that on the outside form, there was the zipper panel with white polka-dot lining sewn together already. Also, on the inside form, the oil cloth was sewn onto the outside (to be inside pocket) back panel as well. Now getting these two forms together was a challenge to figure out. I'm sure I didn't do it the right way, but in the end, I go it all together with the outside pocket stitched closed and separated, and the inside lining tacked down. Whew!

Relatives Anxious for Chinese Boat Disaster News
Home / Maritime Executive / Relatives Anxious for Chinese Boat Disaster News
By Reuters 2015-06-02 11:07:39
Family members of some of the hundreds of passengers aboard a capsized Chinese cruise boat scuffled with officials in Shanghai on Tuesday, angry that they were not being told what happened to the vessel and their loved ones.
In the nearby city of Nanjing, relatives of victims shouted at officials trying to pacify them.
About 60 people, many of them relatives of tourists on the Eastern Star cruise boat that capsized in the Yangtze River in a storm late on Monday, had initially gathered at a travel agency office in Shanghai that handled the bookings for the cruise.
That was locked and they were later escorted to the Shanghai local government office building where they were asked to wait inside a room. Scuffles broke out when a group of relatives, furious over the lack of information being given to them, started demanding more answers from officials.
"We're extremely anxious," said Zhang Yingli, 56, whose brother and wife were on the boat.
"It's 4:30 p.m. now and we haven't heard anything from anyone except the news. No one has come to reassure us."
An official at the Shanghai government's media office declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
A total of 458 people, including 47 crew members, were on board the Eastern Star, according to state media. All the 406 passengers on board the ship had arranged the booking through Shanghai-based Xiehe International Travel. The other five were tour guides.
"I only found out about this on the television news while I was at work and I came here. I cried all the way here and here I can't find anyone, the door is locked," said Wang Sheng, 35, sprawled on a couch wailing for his mother and father who were on board.
According to the travel agent's website, the river cruise originates in Nanjing and winds upstream for 11 days to the southwestern city of Chongqing, stopping at scenic and historic sites along the way.
Many of the relatives said they only learned about the disaster through news broadcasts and were angrily demanding more information.
"We haven't heard anything from any authorities," said Zhang Junmin, 32, whose mother along with her friends and neighbours were on the ship.
In a hotel in Nanjing, relatives of survivors gathered in a conference room and railed at officials for not giving them new information. Three local government officials stood in front of the room trying to soothe the crowd.
"You're not doing anything to help us!" shouted a man with a ponytail and a half-shaved head to the officials.
Several relatives sat slumped in chairs, while others cried, holding their heads in their hands.
Local reporters said they had received a notification from the authorities telling them not to go to the site of the disaster but to cover the news based on reports from state broadcaster CCTV and Xinhua news agency.
Such information control is common in China for major disasters, reflecting the stability-obsessed ruling Communist Party's fears of any kind of unrest.
In a sign of official nervousness about how the disaster may play out, a government document carried by a local Hubei newspaper on its official microblog said that provincial authorities were rushing police to the scene to "ensure social stability".

The prospect of good ground has attracted plenty of runners to Kempton on Tuesday and the Protan, Ahead of the Rest Handicap Hurdle (4.30) looks competitive enough for us to have a look for one or two likely outsiders.
The first one that catches the eye is Victor Dartnall's 11-year-old Shammick Boy, who's undeniably well handicapped on the form of his course and distance win last February, but, frankly, has shown so little in five starts this season that he cannot be recommended at any price. Of course, he could pop up at silly odds but, for once, we're happy to risk having egg on our faces by writing him off.
Howaboutnever drifted alarmingly in the betting before finishing tailed off at Wincanton earlier this month, so either the good ground was too fast or somebody knew something that wasn't apparent from his previous form, which was, in fact, highly respectable. He's only 5lb higher in the weights than when beating subsequent Imperial Cup third Spice Fair in a veterans' handicap hurdle, over 2 miles 4½ furlongs, at Newbury in March, so it'll be interesting to see how he fares in the betting this time. His jockey, Harry Teal, simply reported that the gelding was never travelling at Wincanton, but that form was just too bad to be true.
Willem has yet to win in 11 starts for David Pipe, but the French import has gone well fresh in the past, so an absence of 146 days may not be much of a worry and the 6-year-old looks reasonably treated on the pick of his British form. Conditional jockey David Noonan doesn't have a great strike rate for the yard, but his 5lb allowance will certainly help as will the return to faster underfoot conditions.
Panto Horse or Real Horse?


Originating in India, yoga has been around for more than 5,000 years. It's a practice that strengthens and stretches the body while also using our breath to focus and calm the mind. Everyone—especially older adults—can enjoy the multiple physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga. For beginners and veterans alike, it's a wonderful exercise on its own and a complement to other sports and physical activities.
Breathing exercises, a common opening practice in many yoga classes, help to increase circulation throughout the body. The breath work can reduce stress, serving to positively influence the immune and cardiovascular systems.
There are many techniques for yogic breathing, called pranayama. For example, "breath of fire" is meant to invigorate the body with short, quick rhythmic breathing, requiring core muscle control. Pranayama can also be as simple as slowly inhaling and slowly exhaling. Doing that for just a few minutes can quickly calm the mind and the body.
With age, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue (called fascia) can become less flexible. Some inflexibility is due to changes in collagen fibers. But, stiffness is also due to lack of activity. Yoga poses—also called postures or, in Sanskrit, asanas—are practiced to increase flexibility, strength, and balance.
Postures should be held for at least 20 seconds to elongate muscle fibers. Focusing on the breath helps practitioners become more aware of how the body feels from the inside. This is particularly important when it comes to stretching because over-stretching can lead to injury.
There could be a mild sensation of pulling when holding the pose, but nothing should ever hurt. If you feel a sharp stabbing pain, or joint discomfort, you're stretching too far.
Yoga comes in many styles. Hot yoga is done in a room heated to about 100 degrees. The heat can help muscles relax and elongate. It's best to do this style of yoga in a room that is warmed with moist heat and well-ventilated. Floors should be wood or made of an antibacterial material, rather than carpeting.
The style that ignited hot yoga is called Bikram. This style, which started in the 1970s, is very vigorous, and modifications are uncommon. The concept of doing yoga in a hot room has since expanded to other styles.
Use caution and common sense regarding classes held in heated rooms, as they may not be appropriate for those with certain health conditions or taking some medications. Similarly, power yoga, flow classes, and Ashtanga are demanding styles and designed for more seasoned practitioners.
The so-called Warrior Pose is meant to increase endurance.
Milder classes often include props like straps, blocks, blankets, and bolsters that help students properly position their bodies.
Proper alignment along with modifications are crucial to avoid injuries. The ability to offer modifications for a variety of students' needs is what separates a well-trained, highly experienced instructor from a novice. Look for instructors who have completed at least 200 hours of training and who have been teaching for a few years.
While there is generally no set routine, most classes will focus on stretching the entire body—arms, legs, hips, torso, shoulders, neck, and back. Be sure to let your yoga teacher know about any medical issues you have and ask about the physical demands of the class. It is common for students to simply skip a posture that isn't right for their bodies.
Yoga props (blocks, blankets, straps, bolsters, and mats) are usually available in classes. Yoga mats—also called sticky mats—provide a non-skid surface so that your hands and feet don't slip. They also provide some cushioning. While it can be intimidating to sit in the front of the class, it's a good spot to see instructors as they demonstrate the postures. Also, many instructors will offer verbal and sometimes hands-on corrections to help you get into proper alignment.
The Savasana (or "Corpse") pose is an important way to close a yoga session, yet some people skip out on it. Experts advise practitioners to stay and finish to get the benefits of Savasana.
The classic ending posture in most yoga class is called the corpse pose (Savasana in Sanskrit). As the name implies, it is a relaxed position on your back. This important final resting pose should not be missed (though some students use this time to leave the class). It is an opportunity to fully practice relaxing and allowing your body to absorb the benefits of the exercise.


Spotify is a music streaming site that lets you listen to various music from different artists on your computer, as well as on your tablet or mobile device. You can also create playlists so you don't have to always search for your favorite songs. It is also possible to add other users' playlists on your collection. Playlists can also be saved offline so you can play them even when not connected to the Internet, though you still need to use Spotify for this. Music can be synced to your tablet or mobile device, so you can also listen to them while on the go.
However, even when you save your playlist offline, it is not possible to convert the songs into other formats so you can play them on other devices or media player without using Spotify. This is because they are encrypted, making it impossible for audio converters to detect them. While there is no option on the application to directly convert Spotify to MP3, there are third party tools that you can use to record Spotify sounds as your desired format. MP3 is the best format to use since this is compatible with various platforms and it decreases the size of the file without sacrificing its quality.

Audacity is an open source sound recording and editing application that you can use on various platforms including Widows, Mac and Linux. While you can use this to record any sound on your computer or from an outside source, it is a little complicated to use. Furthermore, it has several settings and the interface is not that user friendly. There are various steps that you need to do before you can start recording, which can be inconvenient, especially for those that are not tech savvy.
After you convert Spotify to MP3, do not use the music for other purposes aside from personal use. You may also purchase music from iTunes to respect the original music copyright and songs' writer.
What is a good Audio Recorder for Mac?


My 4-year-old printer finally bit the dust 2 weeks ago, and when the time came to replace it, I couldn't resist the lure of a large-format printer. It prints my cards beautifully (and borderlessly), and now I can make something awesome and new – posters! Actually the color is richer and deeper than the old printer, so my cards look even better now, closer to the originals.
Okay, the best part is really that it just fits into the bookshelf where the old one lived, so I don't have to try to rearrange everything. But the prints are pretty cool.
Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and half a dozen others are printed in rich, cartoon colors along with their names and a short description of their place in the Lovecraft Mythos.
I've decided to run an open edition of 11″x17″ prints, on high-quality 28-lb bright white laser paper. I'll be shipping them first class mail in good-quality cardboard poster tubes, so you should get yours in perfect condition and ready to hang. I'll even sign it!
Monsters of HP Lovecraft Print, 11″x17″ print on paper, $23.23 with free shipping in the US. Available at my Etsy shop.

El glaciar Giétro o glaciar Giétroz (en francés: Glacier du Giétro) es un glaciar de los Alpes peninos de unos 4 km de largo que discurre por un valle situado en el suroeste de Suiza. La catástrofe del glaciar de Giétro de 1818, que provocó la inundación por desborde de un lago, es uno de los casos históricos más famosos y más desastrosos de los Alpes suizos.

Descripción
El glaciar de Giétro se encuentra en el lado norte de los Alpes peninos en el cantón del Valais. Está situado en el alto valle de Bagnes, al sur de Martigny y Verbier. La longitud del glaciar es de  (2017) y su superficie es de  (2017).

El glaciar se alimenta de las nieves del Mont Blanc de Cheilon () y de La Ruinette (). En la parte superior, el glaciar es relativamente plano. Desciende hacia el norte por el lado del Mont Rouge du Giétro y luego se curva hacia el oeste entre Le Pleureur y el Mont Rouge. En la parte inferior, el glaciar alcanza una pendiente del 40% formando un gran número de grietas. El final está situado a unos ). Parte del glaciar está unido al glaciar Cheilon a través del Col du Cheilon ()). El agua generada por el glaciar termina en el lago Mauvoisin (lago artificial) y luego llega al Dranse de Bagnes, un afluente del Ródano.

Catástrofes producidas por el glaciar

Se sabe que el glaciar de Giétro ha causado muchas muertes en el valle en tiempos históricos. La primera inundación por desborde de un lago glaciar conocida se registró en 1595 y causó 140 muertes. Más recientemente, en 1818, se produjo una inundación similar por desbodamiento de un lago que causó la muerte de 44 personas. En este último caso se perforó un agujero en el glaciar para disminuir el nivel de las aguas.

Después de un aumento del glaciar durante el "Año sin verano", un cono de hielo comenzó a formarse en 1816 en el valle. Fue creado por la acumulación de los seracs de caída del frente del glaciar. Se formó un lago, pero se vació el 27 de mayo de 1817 sin causar ninguna fatalidad. En abril de 1818 el lago medía unos 2 km de longitud. El 10 de mayo de 1818, el ingeniero Ignaz Venetz fue llamado por las autoridades el cantón. Para detener la rápida subida de las aguas, decidió hacer un orificio en el hielo. Los trabajos comenzaron un día después. Se perforó un túnel por ambos lados, a unos 20 metros sobre el nivel del lago. El 18 de mayo se produjo una avalancha de hielo, pero sin víctimas. Se perforó entonces un túnel secundario por razones de seguridad. Una semana más tarde el nivel del lago llegó a los 10 metros por debajo del túnel. El 27 de mayo un enorme trozo de hielo se desprendió del cono del lago y quedó flotando en la superficie mientras hacía un ruido terrible; todos los obreros escaparon sin daños. Volvieron a trabajar dos días después. El 4 de junio se completó el túnel de 198 metros de largo. Otros grandes trozos de hielo se desprendieron del cono y quedaron flotando. Las aguas finalmente alcanzaron el nivel del túnel el 13 de junio, a las 22:00. Continuaron subiendo hasta el 14 de junio, cuando el nivel del lago comenzó a bajar. También salió algo de agua de la base del cono. Sólo dos hombres permanecieron en el lugar; Venetz advirtió a los habitantes del valle del peligro. En la mañana del 16 de junio, se escucharon terribles ruidos y violentas detonaciones. El cono comenzó a romperse. Un grupo de turistas británicos y un dibujante de Lausana visitaron el lugar con Venetz. Por la tarde, Venetz y los trabajadores se refugiaron en las alturas de Fionnay.

Finalmente, a las 16:30, la presa se rompió y  de agua invadieron el valle. Media hora después el lago estaba vacío. La inundación llegó al pueblo de Bagnes 10 minutos después; se dio la alerta a Martigny antes de las 18:00, pero fue demasiado tarde. La ola invadió Martigny-Bourg unos minutos después. La subida de las aguas se observó a lo largo del Ródano, a las 19:00 en Saint-Maurice y a las 23:00 en el lago Lemán.

Bioethics News
How much treatment do heroin addicts deserve?
American heart surgeons are making the difficult decision not to provide surgery to heroin addicts who present repeatedly with drug-induced heart valve infections.
A number of stories in recent months have described in detail the doctors' dilemma: having to chose between another heart valve replacement for addicts (sometimes costing more than US$500,000), or refusing to operate on them again. A heart valve replacement operation requires patients to abstain from drug use in the months following the procedure, but most heroin addicts are non-compliant.
Doctors feel that repeat operations are a poor allocation of healthcare resources. "This costs a lot of money," says Scott H. Bronleewe, an experienced cardiac surgeon practicing in Tampa, Florida. "Six to eight weeks of a hospital stay and surgery probably amounts to over $500,000. Most if not all have no insurance coverage."
Clinical ethicists say that doctors have no obligation to repeatedly operate on non-compliant patients. "If an individual isn't going to change behavior and take responsibility for their life, the surgeon really doesn't have an obligation to replace that heart valve a second or third time", Dr James Orlowski, paediatrician and medical ethicist, said.
Many, however, believe that heroin addicts have limited responsibility for their continued use. Sarah Suzuki, a substance abuse counsellor in Chicago, believes that abstaining from drugs is not an easy feat for those with serious addiction issues.
"Contrary to popular belief, people who are addicted to heroin don't experience a rush of pleasure or joy when they use", she told Medill Reports early last year. "Rather, they stave off withdrawal symptoms and maintain a sense of equilibrium."
Heroin use is on the rise across the US, according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In this Paul Hollywood recipe, he has included fresh raspberries for a sharp contrast to the sweetness of the frangipane. An afternoon tea treat, it's also lovely as a dessert with cream. Paul usually makes it in an oblong tin to slice into fingers, but it works well in a 23cm round tin too.

Q: 2010s (?) movie, possibly German, where everyone is hiding from sunlight I saw the trailer maybe 6-8 years ago.  May have been a German language movie - the trailer was in English.
Post-apocalyptic.  People hiding from very harsh sunlight. Kind of Mad Max.

A: Sounds like Hell (2011), a German movie directed by Tim Fehlbaum.
From Rotten Tomatoes:

As the sun scorches the Earth, threatening to wipe out all life on the planet, desperate survivors Philip, Marie, and her younger sister Leonie race to reach a water reservoir rumored to be nestled deep in the mountains. Making the acquaintance of a lone mechanic named Tom as they head towards the mountains in a specially outfitted car, the trio must fight for their lives after being drawn into an ambush.

Selecting domain may be headache for some people. This is one of the thing that may not be changes. SEO expert says "Never change your domain". If you do so, you may loose all of your traffic. So it is better to choose a good domain that suited your need and others. I think this topic is the answer of your question "how to choose right domain for me?".
It is also not easy to buy a domain of your choice since that may be already registered to someone else. In this topic i will share some important point that may help you to choose a better available domain.
Your domain should be Simple shorter and unique that should be easy to remember and type. If you find such domain, probably you are lucky one.
Hyphens should be avoided. They will create more confusion than other type of smart phrasing. This option may be tolerated in some cases.
Try to get keyword rich domain for better SEO. This thing works if you are restricted to the subject. It will help users to remember the domain name easily which will cause huge traffic to your website.
There are a lot of other well-known TLD (Top level domain) like .net and .org. One may also choose from country based tld like .us, .in and so on. Lots of professionals also uses .net, .org and other TLD. (e.g. problogger.net, labnol.org and so on) .COM should be first priority but .net and .org are best alternatives.
Purchasing a fresh domain may enable you to create a distinct online identity. If the domain have no history than no one (preferably bots) will confuse about the identity.
If you are planning to buy a pre-owned domain never buy a abused domain. Such domain may be blacklisted by Search Engines and other online services. You may check if domain is blacklisted by Google Adsense in Adsense Sandbox.
Like choosing a good host is a tuff job, Why people do not think about choosing a better and reliable registrar! Choose the popular and reliable registrar. Don't choose unreliable to get some deal or save some money. Domain is your online identity and keep it secure. Reliable registrar may prevent in domain hacking or domain theft.
This may create confusion to remember the domain to user. e.g. go2hell.com may create confusion and some user may goto gotohell.com. which will cause massive traffic loss. So choose a non-numeric domain.
Domain is your online identity and older domain my consider for high ranking in search engines. so choose a perfect domain and buy them for as long as you can.
Some domain name can be penalize if search engines may fill that you have tried to infringement the copyright of well-known brands. so don't go for myfacbook.com. Similarly cleaver words are also avoidable, e.g facehook.com is avoidable.
Oh! I don't know why other bloggers do not suggest about this thing. It should be in top most priority. If you are going to buy a domain like netrival.com than check for user name availability in twitter and Facebook like twitter.com/netrival and facebook.com/netrival. It will definitely increase reliability of your online identity (Domain).
Choose a small and easy to remember Keyword rich Domain. You should have first priority to .com second to .net and so on. Check twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites for exact available username. Avoid smart phrase, hyphens. Buy a fresh domain, If you are buying pre-owned domain, must check history of the domain. Crosscheck over adsense Sandbox If you have plan to monetize your site in future.

by Brianna Crandall — September 24, 2018 — Energy management software provider BuildingIQ has reinforced its technology-enabled service offerings for the new construction and retrofit sector by acquiring Australian greenfield (new construction) partner Buildingsense. Together the two companies have provided intelligent building services for more than 30 buildings across Australia, including the Melbourne Hotel, Cockburn Operations Centre, and Flinders Centre Bankstown. This experience combined with BuildingIQ's 5i platform of technology-enabled services for new building management system (BMS) and retrofit projects translates to lower costs and increased efficiency throughout the build process, and the benefits will transfer to North America and beyond.
BuildingIQ helps building owners and operators worldwide lower energy use, increase building operations efficiency and enhance tenant comfort. The company's 5i cloud-based platform and managed services are designed to deliver on the promise of Internet of Things (IoT) for buildings with none of the drawbacks. Over 115 million square feet of building space is currently under management with BuildingIQ.
Until recently, we have offered optimization-as-a-service to owner/operators of existing buildings regardless of a building's state. The acquisition of Buildingsense gives us the opportunity to embed optimization of operations, energy, and comfort in the form of our 5i suite of services right from the beginning in new buildings and major retrofit projects. Managing projects and providing our services to the greenfield segment means we extract, catalog, and analyze data as well as actions taken from the beginning of a building's life-cycle. Given our solutions are cloud-based, the wealth of knowledge that we are capturing is invaluable to building owner/operators and facility professionals alike.
BuildingIQ data-enabled optimization services for the new BMS and retro-commissioning market ensure zero energy intensity drift, capture and catalog deep system knowledge and maintain a high level of operational, comfort, and energy optimization. By pushing data storage, analysis, diagnosis, and asset information into the cloud, BuildingIQ creates a central knowledge platform that minimizes much of the risk and guesswork of implementing a BMS or major retrofit project.
BuildingIQ 5i services for the greenfield and retrofit market include full life-cycle project management, work order and asset management, data-driven testing and commissioning, and Outcome-based Fault Detection throughout the defects and liability phase (DLP) of a building's launch. Exiting DLP, buildings can transition to full-time predictive energy optimization with minimal additional requirements, says the company.
The legacy we created through the Buildingsense partnership in Australia creates a platform for global growth in the greenfield space. We have strengthened sales and marketing capabilities in this area now that will drive our ability to service new construction in North America and beyond, where we already optimize existing and retrofit buildings.

Chester receiver moves to take over…
Chester receiver moves to take over administration of city
Seeking court approval on day-to-day operations, other avenues; mayor, others to fight
MEDIANEWS GROUP FILE PHOTO
Chester City Hall.
By Alex Rose | arose@delcotimes.com | The Delaware County Daily Times
November 10, 2022 at 6:40 a.m.
CHESTER – Receiver Michael Doweary has filed a petition in Commonwealth Court to modify the city's Act 47 recovery plan by giving him final say on virtually every major administrative function or delegating those functions to Chief Operating Officer Leonard Lightner.
"At the end of the day, the receiver (or the court) can mandate any initiative, policy or procedure that it wants, but if the individuals responsible for implementing it are incapable of doing so or refuse to do so and face no repercussions, then nothing will ever change and the receiver will not be able to ensure the provision of vital and necessary services," the filing asserts. "Through the initiatives in this plan modification section, the receiver seeks to clarify the administrative duties of city officials to eliminate interference and to create a baseline level of professional management required for the basic functioning of the city and for the provision of vital and necessary services."
Chester Receiver Michael Doweary
Mayor Thaddeus Kirkland sees it differently, however, and has refuted the proposals as nothing less than an attempt to take over the city and his administration.
Final straw
The petition comes in the wake of a "phishing" incident June 8 in which Councilman William Morgan allegedly electronically transferred $400,000 meant for the employees' workers compensation insurance to someone posing as an insurance broker.
Doweary says he was not made aware of the transfer until Oct. 21, when Morgan issued a press release.
Morgan has defended the lag, saying he did notify police, an information technology consultant and the banks involved as soon as he discovered the issue in early July, then conducted an internal inquiry to try to get the funds back.
Morgan said last week that it appeared the funds were gone for good, though Kirkland said Wednesday that at least some of the money may be insured. The case is currently under investigation by the Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division.
But Doweary contends CID investigators were not brought in until much later than they could have been and that Morgan's failure to tell him about the transfer violates a March order from Commonwealth Court Judge Ellen Ceisler requiring Morgan and his team to "immediately share any future correspondence or information they receive relating to the city's finances with (the) receiver and the Interim CFO," Shenora Briquette.
"A nonbudgeted $400,000 payment is undisputedly information 'relating to the city finances,'" the petition says. "Three months transpiring from the filing of the police report to notifying the receiver is undisputedly not 'immediately.' "
Doweary's Chief of Staff, Vijay Kapoor, added that a city teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and facing a potential deficit of $46.5 million next year can ill afford an errant $400,000.
Tip of the iceberg
It is only the latest in a slew of finance office issues Doweary points to in the filing, including making late or inaccurate tax filings that have resulted in $750,000 in penalties; the alleged approval of $1,500 in gift cards to reimburse Morgan without sufficient documentation; making improper "hazard" payments to employees totaling $137,540; and paying a city employee 120 days of vacation time after they were arrested in February on child sexual assault charges. Kapoor declined identifying that employee Wednesday on advice of counsel.
Kirkland said the gift card issue had been handled in-house, though Doweary said he has never been apprised of the results of an investigation that was supposed to be handled by city Solicitor Ken Schuster.
DIGITAL FIRST MEDIA FILE PHOTO

Schuster said Wednesday that the issue simply involved Morgan providing money for a citywide Toys for Tots program out of pocket, then seeking reimbursement, which was approved by council.
But Doweary said problems extend far beyond finances to even the most basic tenants of city governance like communication between departments and a lack of citywide uniform policies.
The receiver claims he cannot fulfill his duty of ensuring the city continues to run because many departments operate as "fiefdoms" with no formal structure in place and that elected officials direct employees not to comply with the directives of his office or Lightner when he tries to institute reforms.
"City departments currently operate with little to no accountability and with department heads who are not qualified to run them," the petition says. "Managing the operations of a city, especially one that is on the brink of bankruptcy, requires a special skill set. If individuals serving as department heads do not possess such a skill set, and/or simply disregard city policies, no initiative in any recovery plan will be able to ensure the continued provision of vital and necessary services. To address Chester's significant operational needs, the focus must be on the effectiveness of providing vital and necessary services."
Sweeping changes
To that end, Doweary has asked the court to institute changes in an attempt to rectify what he calls an untenable position, first and foremost by permanently ensconcing the position of COO and transferring administrative day-to-day operations duties of city elected officials to Lightner or his designee.
Doweary is additionally seeking sole authority to hire, fire and restructure departments as he sees fit, as well as develop and implement and enforce citywide human resources policies and conduct investigations into personnel matters.
The receiver has also asked the court to grant him the power to develop and implement new internal controls over expenditures, select an auditor, and have sole authority over directing American Rescue Plan Act fund expenditures.
Finally, Doweary is seeking the power to dissolve a parking agreement and "monetize city authorities" including the Chester Water Authority, Parking Authority and Stormwater Authority.
Not without a fight
The proposed changes brought about quick recriminations from Kirkland and others, including water authority Solicitor Frank Catania, who questioned the move to "monetize" authorities.
Chester and the authority have been at loggerheads over a potential sale of the authority to private industry for years and issues over who exactly owns what authority assets continue to play out in courts. But Catania said the move, if approved, may give Doweary the unilateral ability to effectuate any sale he deems proper without the input of other stakeholders while avoiding court oversight. Catania signaled that he would have more to say on the matter in the coming days.
Kapoor said nothing in the petition changes the receiver's long-held position that in order to save the city from financial insolvency, it must put everything on the table, including monetizing assets like the water authority. But, Kapoor added, "monetization" does not necessarily mean a sale and Doweary remains open to alternatives as long as they generate revenue for city coffers.
Kirkland said that what the receiver is asking for is nothing less than a court-ordered coup of the elected government.
"What the receiver and Vijay want is for this administration to bow down to them like they're some kind of idols, gods," he said. "We're not doing that. We're going to do our job for the residents. The bottom line is that we are a third-class city under a home rule charter. They want to run city government here in the City of Chester. If the governor was truly about helping the City of Chester, he would have sent us someone who wants to the help the city, not overthrow it."
Schuster said the parameters of Act 47 are quite clear, and while it may give a receiver certain wide latitudes in effectuating a recovery plan, it specifically does not give a receiver the power to change the form of government.
Headquarters of the Chester Water Authority.
"It's really our position that (the proposals here) would change the form of government, which we believe is impermissible," he said. "It's really that simple. If you want to change the charter, you have to have a city referendum."
Doweary anticipated that argument in a related memorandum of law stating that his proposals do not change the "form" of government from a mayor and five council people, but rather the administrative organization and assignment duties. The memorandum argues that the charter allows, but does not mandate, council members to be heads of departments.
"It is comprehensive, but we think at this point, we don't have another choice," said Kapoor. "We don't really want to run the day-to-day affairs of the city. We've got other things to do right now. But the receiver, under the law, has to ensure the provision of vital necessary services. … We're left with the decision of, do we just continue to let things go and abdicate our duties or try to meet the requirements of the law?"
A hearing date is required within 30 days of the Nov. 8 petition filing date and Judge Ceisler will have another 30 days after that hearing to file a decision. No date had been set as of Wednesday.

I am currently using Jboss 7.1.2. I have a custom module that i place in the modules directory (so jboss/modules/com/xyz/mymodule ..) and everything works fine. However with the way Jboss is distributed in our organization I cannot make changes to jboss modules folder. And therefore i need to place my custom module outside of the /modules folder in the jboss installation. i tried doing that in hopes that jboss will pick this up. But obviously my custom module does not get loaded. Is there a way i can place my custom modules outside of the jboss modules directory and still be able to load it ?


What is an act of creating? How would you define it? Beyond the concept of art, on general perspective, act of creation is making things happen, making something from something else, making choice what and how to create. There is not a single act of creativity without freedom. Freedom is streaming through creativity like its constant companion and condition for things to happen. We need to feel free to choose what and how to create to have the sense of creativity being worth an effort. We need freedom to create and be free to create truly-that strong however simple realisation came to my mind recently after delivering expressive arts therapeutic session to dementia patients.

After Saul (Mandy Patinkin) rescued him from the Tower of David last week, Brody ends up back on US soil. He's meant to be there only briefly, a few days – later extended to just over two weeks – in order to dry up, shape up and ship out. Saul and Dar Adal (F. Abraham Murray) have Phase Two plans for Brody: infiltrate Tehran thanks to the newly minted power of Javadi and assassinate a high profile target. Of course this assumes he can stop hallucinating, cutting and shitting himself long enough to go.
Enter Carrie (Claire Danes), fresh out of the Naval hospital and recruited by Saul to talk a suicidal Brody into accepting the mission. This requires a trip to see Dana (Morgan Saylor) and a frank conversation (not about the Langley bombings, but rather the suicide vest from S1) to convince him. Even then, Saul still needs to blackmail Senator Lockhart (Tracy Letts), who is behind the wiretapping in Saul's house by stupid Mira's lover, in order to buy them more time. By episode's end Brody is clean and sturdy enough to board the plane with the other soldiers for what amounts to a one-way trip, but as with the strongest episodes of Homeland, it's not the plot machinations that make the show work.
If we think back on this episode, the memorable events center around a series of season "firsts": the first time Carrie and Brody lay eyes on each other since she sent him across the border into Canada solo in 2×12 and the first time Brody sees Dana this season, unaware of the fact that she's attempted suicide, run away, changed her name and emancipated herself (Side Note: I only squealed with glee a little when Dana is revealed to be working as a motel cleaning woman). The conversation between estranged father and daughter is powerful for everything that's being said…and everything that's not. Ultimately I wish the emotional beats of the episode – this conversation and Carrie and Brody's goodbye – but that would necessitate a more confessional approach ("Dana, I'm going away to die a hero's death"; "Brody, I'm pregnant with our severely deformed child"). As it stands 'Horse and Wagon' is a solid return to form for a show that has spent a good portion of the season repairing the damage from S2.
Other Observations:
I love the disdain that the doctor displays when he talks to Carrie about her pregnancy. Very judgy, those Naval doctors. Of course, I found myself wearing the same facial expression when Brody catches Carrie smoking. Damn she's going to be a terrible mother
The moment that Yousef Turani (Jared Ward) confirms that he has a new son = the moment we know he'll die on the forthcoming mission. Might as well have given him a red shirt
As often as Carrie seemingly does things without thinking, I do like that she stands up to Saul when he bitches her out. Is taking Brody off base not once, but twice to see Dana a really dumb idea? Absolutely. However, her assertion that she's pulling Saul's ass out of the fire by convincing Brody to accept the mission is still spot-on. The simple fact is that Saul and Carrie need each other
I'm interested how viewers who've hung in feel about the overhaul of the recent episodes. I find it interesting that Alan Sepinwall of Hitflix basically hates Carrie and can't tolerate her stupidity any more. I think it's interesting that we've championed Saul as the unofficial protagonist of the series (in spite all of the terrible things he's done) because he's often the most sane. And do we still think that Brody should have been put down in the first season rather than kept alive? Lay out your opinions in the comments below

Usually, scars heal well. When scars are aesthetically unacceptable, the scars may need to be revised. Scars can be unacceptable for a variety of reasons. Unacceptable scars can result from wound breakdown, infection, reactions to suture material, and even normal healing. Scars can be highly visible, wide, persistently red, thick, raised, or distortion of underlying muscles. During normal healing, scars can also migrate and contract to form tight, constrictive bands. These bands may cause tightness and decrease the range of motion of surrounding structures.
When enough force is applied to the skin, the skin breaks. This skin break results in a scar. There are many types of scars that can occur.
Not all scars become keloids. A keloid is excessive scarring. By definition, a keloid overgrows the boundaries of the normal scar. Under the microscope, a keloid looks like a head of cauliflower. Further magnification shows the wound edges piled high like a tidal wave of collagen stands. A keloid can feel like a "speed bump" over a normal scar. Typically, a keloid is raised and red. In contrast to keloids, a normal scar does not outgrow the natural borders of the wound.
A hypertrophic scar is in between a normal scar and a keloid. Hypertrophic scars can be thick and red. However, hypertrophic scars do not overgrow the natural borders of the wound.
If your scars bother you, you should consult a plastic surgeon. Plastic surgeons specialize in optimizing scars. You may be a candidate for scar revision. Scar treatment should be delayed until the scar is completely healed. Most surgical scar revisions are performed 4 to 6 months after the scar has completely healed. If your plastic surgeon operates too early, your scar may not have had significant time enough to heal naturally. Usually, there is no urgency for surgical scar revision. Typically, the longer you can wait for surgical scar revision, the better your final results.
Before scar revision surgery is contemplated, you and your plastic surgeon may want to try noninvasive procedures. Initially, conservative treatment may be the best way to treat your unacceptable scar.
If your scar is thick and red, you may be a good candidate for steroid injection directly into the scar. Steroid injections into the scar decrease your body's inflammatory response. Within a scar, steroids reduce your body's ability to make more scar tissue. The steroid injection procedure is performed in the office. The steroid injection procedure takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. You may need several treatments for optimal results. Usually, no anesthetic is required. Steroid scar injection treatments may need to be administered every four to six weeks. It should be stressed that these steroid scar injections are localized injections. These types of steroid injections will not cause systemic accumulation of fat, nor muscle mass, nor weight gain.
There are a variety of lasers that can help remodel and resurface your unacceptable scar. These scar-reducing lasers include the V-Beam, Er:YAG, ND:YAG, Fraxel, and CO2 lasers. Some of these lasers specialize in eliminating the red color in the scar. While other lasers, remove the scar tissue. By reducing scar tissue, the scar is flattened. Laser scar revision is performed in the office. The procedure may take 30 to 60 minutes. A local anesthetic is sometimes used. You may need several laser treatments to achieve your desired results. Laser treatments are performed six weeks apart. Please discuss with your plastic surgeon which laser is best for your type of scars.
Micro-needling is also an option for scar treatment. During micro-needling, small needles are injected directly into the scar tissue. Micro-needling stimulates your body to break down and remodel scar tissue. Micro-needling may require several treatments. This form of scar treatment is usually performed in the office and takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete. A topical anesthetic is sometimes applied. Micro-needling may need to be repeated every four to six weeks.
There is another device similar to micro-needling called the Derma Roller. The Derma Roller is a small, handheld rolling pin with small needles. The Derma Roller can be applied to the scar to accelerate scar maturation. Derma Rollers should only be used with your plastic surgeon's consent. Many plastic surgeons sell the Derma Roller from their office. You can use the Derma Roller at home. No anesthetic is needed. The Derma Roller can be used twice a day. Derma Roller therapy may be beneficial for four to six months.
If these conservative modalities do not significantly improve the appearance of your scar, surgery may be necessary.
Usually, surgical scar revision can be performed in the office. Often, after an anesthetic is applied, the offending scar can be excised directly with a scalpel. The wound edges are undermined to minimize tension. The wound is closed meticulously in multiple layers with tiny sutures. Depending on the length of the scar in the area revised, a drain may need to be inserted.
The tension in the scar needs to be spread to minimize subsequent scarring. To decrease scar tension, many plastic surgeons perform a W-plasty within the scar. With a W-plasty technique, the offending scar is excised. Along the wound edges, tiny W's are made. The W's are then brought together and inter-digitated. The resulting scar looks like a zigzag. This zigzag redirects the tension of the scar. The scar forces are spread, yielding an optimal cosmetic scar with time.
If you are planning on undergoing additional plastic surgery on other body parts, sometimes scar revision can be conducted at the same time.
To achieve optimal scar revisions results, the scar needs to be protected from the sun. New scars are like baby skin.
I would suggest using sunblock with an SPF of 50 or higher. To obtain the best scar results, I would recommend applying silicone gel and silicone gel sheeting to the scar. Silicone has long been known to enhance scars positively.
The plastic surgery literature has shown that silicone application to a scar minimizes evaporative losses and allows oxygen to reach tissues. By creating an ideal scar-healing environment, silicone prevents excessive collagen creation. Also, silicone reduces the redness in the wound and leads to a softer, flatter scar. Compression can also help to flatten the scar.
Scar management is an important part of your plastic surgery recovery.
Whether your scars are old or new, if your scars bother you, consult a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you're a candidate for scar revision.

Fremantle's pursuit of Jesse Hogan and Rory Lobb has gathered pace, with the AFL club giving up draft selection No.6 in a pick swap with Port Adelaide.
The Dockers traded their first-round selection and a future third-round selection to Port, who parted with picks No.11, 23, 30 and 49.
Melbourne key forward Hogan is expected to reveal his cards soon, having already met with the Dockers as he mulls a potential return home to Perth.

GWS ruckman Lobb requested a trade to the Dockers last week.
"The exchange of selections will provide either more currency in this trade period or, alternatively, be a very attractive proposition for this year's national draft," Fremantle football manager Peter Bell said.
Rory Lobb taps the ball away from Callum Sinclair
The addition of two second-round picks has put the Dockers in a good position to complete trades for both Hogan and Lobb.
Fremantle are also expected to receive Brisbane's pick No.5 should the deal that is currently being brokered over Lachie Neale eventuate.
Port, eyeing highly rated South Australian prospects Jack Lukosius and Izak Rankine, were keen to improve their position in the draft.
The Power now hold picks No.6 and 10.
Meanwhile, Nick Dal Santo says the potential departure of Dayne Beams would deliver a devastating blow to Brisbane.
Beams is contracted to the Lions until the end of the 2020 season but AFL Trade Radio is reporting he will soon request a trade to Collingwood.
"This is devastating. To (potentially) lose someone of Dayne Beams' ilk," 322-gamer Dal Santo said on AFL Trade Radio.
"I'm shocked."
Beams started his career at the Magpies but shifted to Brisbane during the 2014 trade period. He wanted to be closer to his ill father, who died earlier this year.
There has been speculation regarding Beams' future throughout this year but the star midfielder had seemingly put it to bed.
Beams released a statement at the end of the season, noting he never requested a trade and "will be seeing out my contract here".
The 28-year-old, who relinquished the captaincy in May as he struggled with the death of his dad, reiterated the same message during an emotional speech at Brisbane's best-and-fairest night.
"At the start of the year I had a very difficult patch, not only in my footy career but in my life," Beams told the crowd.
"I'll be honest with you, I've thought about going back to Melbourne and obviously those discussions happened.
"But the one thing I kept coming back to is this group and you blokes. I bloody love you.
"The amount of support you've shown me over the last six months has been unreal."

'I packed coconuts in my suitcase to Israel, he brought oranges, avocados to India': Kalki shares her Inter-Faith Love Story with an Israeli boyfriend
Byline by- Vinayak Heliwal
Actress Kalki Koechlin is one of the Bollywood actors who had never been shy of experimenting with roles and never even backed down from expressing love and her opinions.
Kalki recently took to social media to pen a long note wherein she revealed details about her love story with her Israeli musician boyfriend Guy Hershberg. She not only talked about overcoming cultural differences but also shared details about their first meeting as well. Posting a lovely picture of herself with boyfriend and co-parent Guy Hershberg, on Instagram, Kalki revealed how the two met.
She wrote the post for the India Love Project. Revealing how she met Guy, she wrote, "We met at a petrol station on the way to the Dead Sea and started a conversation that lasted us several years of togetherness and a baby. We did the Bombay-Jerusalem commute every month for a couple of years where I used to pack fresh coconuts in my suitcase to Israel and he brought kilos of oranges and avocados to India."
Talking about their lives together, she wrote, "He got me to eat middle-eastern salad for breakfast, I got him to eat three regular meals a day. He learned to make biryani and I, shakshuka. He took Hindi classes and watched French films, I started online Hebrew classes and learned to listen to western classical music. He likes his coffee with cardamom, I like my chai with milk and sugar."
Not only this but Kalki even shared that even after having a baby together they continue to fight every day about doing the dishes but still split the dessert into equal parts. "He's Jewish, part Russian, part Polish, part Iranian. I'm of French origin, born and brought up in India. My first name is Hindu, my last name is Protestant. We have a daughter with a Greek name to whom we speak in Hebrew, French, Hindi, and Tamil. We don't follow any religious rites at home but we share our different customs and food. We fight every day about whose turn it is to do the dishes and we always split our dessert into equal parts," she added
At a time when things like 'love jihad ' are making their way into the very fabric of the legal system, it's stories like these that remind us of the power of love.Just like Kalki's story of love and parenthood with her partner, Guy Hershberg.
Kalki was married to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. After staying in Marriage for 4 years, the couple parted ways in 2015. Kalki then started dating Guy Hershberg. The couple welcomed their daughter Sappho on February 7, 2020.
On the work front, Kalki was seen in a cameo role in the Tamil film Nerkonda Paarvai.She also played a supporting role in Gully Boy.

To me the decision to become a digital nomad came really naturally - at the age of 19 I was invited to attend a really big entrepreneurship conference in Kuala Lumpur, during which I spent 7 days in Malaysia, 4 days in Singapore and 3 more days in Indonesia. I took my computer with me on that trip and didn't have any problems keeping up with work.
Once I came back to Europe and life got a little boring, I naturally asked myself: "If I could travel in Asia and keep up with work for 2 weeks, why can't I do it for 2 months, 2 years or even indefinitely?". The next thing I knew, I was on a plane to Bangkok which began my four-year-long-and-going travels around the world as a digital nomad.
I think the reason a lot of people have these fears and insecurities about becoming nomads is that they see it as something incredibly special, something that only a certain group of people can do, something that requires years of preparation, etc., when in reality it's nothing like that.
