Sylvia Plath: Poems "Daddy" Summary and Analysis
She is unable to read, write, or sleep, and she stops bathing. Most of the work featured in this study guide comes from Plath's two major poetry collections — The and Other Poems 1960 and 1965. Old age is inescapable, but the idea of ageing is not received well by everyone. And the language obscene An engine, an engine Chuffing me off like a Jew. She claims that she must kill her father the way that a vampire must be killed, with a stake to the heart. He was Aryan, with blue eyes. Stanza 15 In this stanza, the speaker reminds the readers that she has already claimed to have killed her father.
She published additional poems in Harper's. Critical Insights: The Bell Jar. These moments correlate to her mental state and the effect of her depression. Her most famous collection of works, Ariel, was published by Hughes, along with another three after her death. Returning to the image of the fallen statue, the poet reveals personal recollections of Nauset Beach and her father's Polish ancestry.
Her mother takes her to Dr. Esther is a woman of many achievements—college, internships, and perfect grades. Critical Analysis Stanza 1 I am silver and exact. However, a bouquet of tulips has arrived and brashly confronts her with its startling vitality, color, and life-force. In the poem, the color changes from white to rust and then to black.
Summary and Analysis by Sylvia Plath
Plath's usage of Holocaust imagery has inspired a plethora of critical attention. Sylvia Plath: Method and Madness. Buddy Willard comes to the hospital to visit Esther, and asks whether there is something about him that drives women crazy, as both Esther and Joan ended up in a mental hospital after being with him. To further emphasize her fear and distance, she describes him as the Luftwaffe, with a neat mustache and a bright blue Aryan eye. Sylvia quickly learns that others are also enthralled with her husband, for a combination of his good looks, charisma, fame and success.
It is pink, with speckles. In line 13, the speaker doubts that the alley-shaped hedges will allow her a glimpse of the sea, an implication of spiritual release in the afterlife. This poem, in its bleakness, seems to be an unfiltered view of her commitment to suicide. Breathing the air of postmodernist consumerist air, Plath mentions Lysol, a cleaning agent. Janet McCann links Plath's search for feminine independence with a self-described neurotic psychology.
Daddy by Sylvia Plath: Poem Samples
I am important to her. With my gipsy ancestress and my weird luck And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack I may be a bit of a Jew. Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon. The poetess is exhausted by her continual efforts to make sense of the figure that stands before her. She subsequently studied English literature as a Fulbright scholar at Newnham College, Cambridge, and then married British poet Ted Hughes in June 1956. I am important to her.
The Bell Jar
In this poem, Daddy, she writes about her father after his death. It was her third time. The Bell Jar sets out to highlight the problems with oppressive patriarchal society in mid-20th-century America. Gordon, a psychiatrist who prescribes electric shock therapy for Esther. I see her back, and reflect it faithfully.
SparkNotes: The Bell Jar: Plot Overview
For her, the heavy notion of Evil Attending her cost less than a bellyache, And Love the mother of milk, no theory. During a photo shoot for the magazine, she is unable to hold her artificial smile, and begins weeping openly. They want the crib of some lamp-headed Plato. Studying to become a doctor, Buddy wants a wife who mirrors his mother, and hopes Esther will be that for him. Poem Background The bitter reality of an advancing age coupled with the tedious duties of domestic life were factors, not readily accepted by Plath and naturally, poetry served to be the most appropriate medium for an unveiled expression of a fragmented heart.
Daddy Summary
The third line of this stanza begins a sarcastic description of women and men like her father. This poem consists of sixteen five-line stanzas where the poet portrays the loss of her father, Otto Plath. She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands. She then explains that she was afraid to talk to him. In the first stanza the mirror tells us about itself and describes its experiences: what it has seen and what it does most of the time. Rather, she sees him as she sees any other German man, harsh and obscene. At the beach with friends, she attempts to drown herself, but she keeps floating to the surface of the water.
Magi Poem by Sylvia Plath
After achieving the final push to the sea, the speaker looks out on space, a metaphor for the purity of death. She refers to her husband as a vampire, one who was supposed to be just like her father. This sense of contradiction is also apparent in the poem's rhyme scheme and organization. It is a common feeling that truth and honesty are the best policy, but in this situation, we discover the complex dilemma where truth is disagreeable. Esther awakens to find herself in the hospital. Nolan is aware of Esther's terror of electro-shock treatments, and later when these treatments are administered to Esther, they are a much less harrowing experience, both physically and emotionally, because of Dr.

Debate: Should Obama Pardon NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden?
Nermeen Shaikh &
It has been three years since National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden released classified NSA files to media outlets that exposed global mass surveillance operations by the US and British governments. If he returned to the United States from Russia, where he now lives in exile, he would face charges of theft of state secrets and violating the Espionage Act, and face at least 30 years in prison. This week his supporters launched a new call for President Obama to offer Snowden clemency, a plea agreement or a pardon before the end of his term. We host a debate about whether Snowden should be pardoned with Trevor Timm, executive director of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, and Bradley Moss, a national security attorney who has represented whistleblowers.

NERMEEN SHAIKH: It's been three years since National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden released classified NSA files to media outlets that exposed global mass surveillance operations by the US and British governments. He is now charged with theft of state secrets and violating the Espionage Act, for which he faces at least 30 years in prison. He currently lives in political exile in Russia.
This week, Snowden's supporters launched a new call for President Obama to offer Snowden clemency, a plea agreement or a pardon before the end of his term. Today we look at how the new campaign has reignited a debate over what punishment, if any, Snowden should face. At an event in New York City on Wednesday, the ACLU, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International called for Snowden to be pardoned. This is the ACLU's Ben Wizner, Snowden's attorney.
BEN WIZNER: With respect to the question about whether we're applying to the Department of Justice, respectfully, the Constitution assigns this authority to the president, not to a lawyer in the Department of Justice. And it does so for a reason: because the pardon power is quintessentially a political power. It's about when a president decides that there are overriding national reasons not to enforce the law as written. In a run-of-the-mill case, it might make sense to set up a bureaucracy to handle those kinds of requests. I don't think I need to say this is not a run-of-the-mill case. And this is one that has serious geopolitical consequences. And so this campaign is directed only at one person, and that person is the president.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: That's the ACLU's Ben Wizner speaking Wednesday. On the same day, The Guardian published about 20 statements on the case from prominent figures, including professors Noam Chomsky and Cornel West, Black Lives Matter activists, and politicians. Among them was former Democratic presidential challenger Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who argued Snowden educated the public about how the NSA's mass surveillance program violated their constitutional rights. Sanders called for a resolution to the case that acknowledged Snowden's troubling revelations should, quote, "spare him a long prison sentence or permanent exile."
AMY GOODMAN: The Guardian also published comments from those who do not defend Snowden. Former NSA Director Michael Hayden said Snowden should face, quote, "the full force of the law" if he returns to the United States. Former NSA counsel Stewart Baker wrote that Snowden's leak caused harm to US national interests.
Meanwhile, Edward Snowden himself spoke out on Wednesday in a press conference, where he and others announced a Pardon Snowden petition. Snowden spoke by video stream from Moscow.
EDWARD SNOWDEN: While I am grateful for the support given to my case, this really isn't about me. It's about us. It's about our right to dissent. It's about the kind of country we want to have, the kind of world that we want to build. It's about the kind of tomorrow that we want to see, a tomorrow where the public has a say.
History reminds us that governments always experience periods in which their powers are abused, for different reasons. This is why our founding fathers, in their wisdom, sought to construct a system of checks and balances. Whistleblowers, acting in the public interest, often at great risk to themselves, are another check on those abuses of power, especially through their collaboration with journalists.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: That was Edward Snowden speaking Wednesday via video stream from Russia. Well, in 2013, while Snowden's whereabouts were still undisclosed, Donald Trump called for Snowden's execution during an interview on "Fox & Friends."
DONALD TRUMP: Spies, in the old days, used to be executed. This guy is becoming a hero in some circles. Now, I will say, with the passage of time, even people that were sort of liking him and maybe trying to go on his side are maybe dropping out. But, you know, when you look at where he goes — and now nobody knows where he is. But we have to get him back, and we have to get him back fast. They're talking about it could take years, it could take months, but maybe years. That would be pathetic. … This guy is a bad guy. And, you know, there is still a thing called execution. You really have to — you have to take a strong hand. You have thousands of people with access to kind of material like this. We're not going to have a country any longer.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, the new push to pardon Edward Snowden comes as the Hollywood version of his story opens in theaters this week. On Wednesday, we interviewed Snowden director Oliver Stone and actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays Snowden in the film.
Today we host a debate about whether Snowden should be pardoned. Joining us here in New York is Trevor Timm, executive director of the Freedom of the Press Foundation and a columnist at The Guardian. In Washington, DC, we're joined by Bradley Moss, national security attorney who's represented whistleblowers as well as people from the intelligence community.
We welcome you both to Democracy Now! Trevor Timm, why do you think that Edward Snowden should be pardoned?
TREVOR TIMM: Well, quite simply, Edward Snowden is the most important whistleblower we have seen in at least a generation. You know, when you think about what has happened since he first came forward three-and-a-half years ago, a federal appeals court has ruled the NSA's mass surveillance programs illegal. Congress has passed the most — or the first intelligence reform in 40 years. And there has been a sea change in public opinion on privacy online. And then we have seen, of course, the tech companies, on the private side, instead of collaborating with the NSA, which Edward Snowden also revealed, have now turned and are implementing all sorts of security and encryption features that protect people's privacy and security, and prevent this mass — this type of mass surveillance from happening in the first place.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: Bradley Moss, your response? Do you think Snowden should be pardoned?
BRADLEY MOSS: No, sadly and unfortunately for Mr. Snowden, I do not at all. You know, Trevor and a lot of Mr. Snowden's advocates do a very good job of focusing on the small number of domestic issues that Edward Snowden revealed — Section 215, which was the telephone data program, Section 702, which was the internet data collection — but they largely omit or gloss over everything else that Mr. Snowden leaked. He leaked how the NSA spies on Chinese government and how it was spying on certain Chinese companies that had ties to the Chinese military. They overlook how he exposed what is called operation MYSTIC, which was spying operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. They overlook how he exposed the technical details of a specific spy ship, a spy vessel, that was working in various parts of the world to intercept data. The idea of pardoning someone whose leaks went far beyond anything of American civil liberties, and was exposing the basic elements of signals intelligence — which is what NSA is supposed to do, that's their job — the idea of pardoning someone in that circumstance is, as far as I'm concerned, ludicrous.
AMY GOODMAN: Trevor Timm?
TREVOR TIMM: Well, so, a couple things here. One, I think we have to realize that the amount of documents that Snowden released himself is zero. He gave these documents to some of the most respected journalists in the country, at some of the most well-known papers, which, by the way, ended up winning Pulitzer Prizes for their stories. And it was these journalists who decided what was in the public interest and what may have affected national security, and actually consulted with government officials before publishing these stories. And the government was allowed to make objections.
But beyond that, I think we have to, you know, think about this as a global issue. It's not just the United States and American citizens that deserve privacy rights. You know, these mass surveillance systems that are happening around the globe, I think, are a cause for alarm for literally billions of people. And, you know, what Snowden critics don't bring up a lot of times is that actually the Obama administration changed the rules for its global spying network, too, because of these stories. There was executive rules that have now been tightened also because of the Snowden revelations. So, certainly, the domestic spying revelations had the biggest impact, but I don't think we should discount the other stories that were published by journalists at The Washington Post and The Guardian.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: Bradley Moss, do you agree with that? Do you think there have been some beneficial effects of Snowden's revelations?
BRADLEY MOSS: Well, I'll give him credit that there was some tightening of how things were run, particularly in terms of the domestic side, particularly in terms of things like data — sorry, the telephone data program and the USA Freedom Act that was passed. I'll give him credit for that. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, if DOJ were to ever get this to a trial, I wouldn't even bother bringing up those leaks, because they're irrelevant — I mean, they would just muddy the water.
But what Trevor gets into here — and I've heard this argument a lot of times — is, OK, first they say Snowden didn't actually publish anything. It's irrelevant as far as the law is concerned. The law doesn't care whether or not he published a document. He was authorized for access to classified information, he removed it from the secure location in which it was supposed to be, and he gave it to unauthorized individuals — namely, the journalists like Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras and Barton Gellman. None of those three individuals, for all of their credentials and qualifications, none of them had been vetted by the US government for access to classified information. I hold a security clearance due to the nature of some of my clients' classified affiliation with the US government. I had to go through the vetting. There's approximately 4 million people who also hold clearances. It is a sacred trust. And Snowden broke it by giving these documents to people who were not authorized to have it.
And in terms of the other point that Trevor has made, that certain restrictions or certain limitations were now placed on how spying was done on individuals overseas, if he — if Mr. Snowden believed that that should be reined in — and that's not a legality issue, that's a policy or a moral question — if he thought that Congress was not fully aware of the extent of it, those are things he could have brought to Congress. He could have gone to the intelligence committees. He could have gone to individual senators or members of Congress. I'm sure Senator Rand Paul would have been more than willing to have heard information about this. But that is Congress's job from a purpose of oversight. We live in a republican — small R — a republican form of government, where we elect people to both serve us in the legislature to oversee the executive branch, and in which we elect a president and a vice president to implement the laws passed by Congress. By doing what he did, Mr. Snowden circumvented all of that and said, "I don't care what any of you have already — excuse me — I don't care what any of you have already decided; I'm going to shame you into changing it."
AMY GOODMAN: Trevor Timm, what about that — Snowden could have gone up either the chain of command where he worked or gone to Congress?
TREVOR TIMM: You know, this is a common thing that Snowden critics often say, and it's actually pretty ridiculous. You know, first of all, Snowden was a contractor, so a lot of the whistleblower protections that exist wouldn't have applied to him. But there's actually a much larger issue here. You know, this wasn't some rogue NSA agent that he was trying to expose or some program that only a handful people knew about. This was authorized, the mass surveillance program which collected every single phone call of every single American — this was authorized at the highest levels of government, by the executive branch, by the secret FISA court. And Snowden would have essentially been going to his superiors to tell them that what they were doing was illegal and unconstitutional. And it's ridiculous to think that they would have responded in any way beyond casting more suspicion on him. You know, in fact, there was high-level NSA officials that had tried to go to the heads of the NSA before about this very same program and were rebuffed. And so, the only aspect — the only option that he had was to go to the press.
AMY GOODMAN: We'll talk more about that in a minute. We're going to break, then come back to Trevor Timm, who is executive director of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, columnist at The Guardian, and, joining us in Washington, Bradley Moss, national security attorney. We'll be back with both in a minute.

The Scottish author discusses his Man Booker Prize longlisted novel His Bloody Project
In 2014 Graeme Macrae Burnet published his first novel, the stylish crime thriller The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau. The following year he released His Bloody Project: Documents Relating to the Case of Roderick Macrae, a true crime novel that was recently awarded a place on the Man Booker Prize 2016 Longlist.
While researching his family history, Macrae Burnet discovered the story of Roderick 'Roddy' Macrae, a 17-year-old boy from Culduie in Wester Ross who committed a brutal triple murder. This novel is the first time Roddy's memoir, which he wrote while awaiting trial, has been printed in full. His unromanticised account of life as a crofter in 19th century Scotland and the events leading up to and including the crime is followed by comments from the psychiatrist who examined him, and an account of his dramatic trial using newspaper reports. It is a novel heavy with foreboding that highlights the complexity of the justice system's task in determining whether Roddy, or any criminal, was sound of mind.
He is joined at Edinburgh International Book Festival by Cecilia Ekbäck, whose book In The Month of the Midnight Sun also features a brutal triple murder.

Dakar 2021: Kamaz in the pole position for the truck race
Off-Road RacerDecember 8, 20200
December 8 th 2020 – 18:12 [GMT + 3]
. The charismatic boss of the Kamaz team, seven-time Dakar champion and record holder in the truck category Vladimir Chagin, can rest easy in the run-up to the 43rd edition of the rally, where he will be celebrating his 50th birthday. Once again, the depth of its roster, which features no fewer than four top drivers, makes the Russian outfit the odds-on favourite to win the race.
. However, the dominance of the blue trucks has failed to curb the enthusiasm and ardour of their rivals, as drivers such as Siarhei Viazovich from Belarus or Martin Macík and Aleš Loprais from Czechia continue to look for a chink in their armour.
. Meanwhile, the Chilean three-time winner of the quad category, Ignacio Casale, is unlikely to settle for a support role as he steps back into the ring following his first experience in the truck category over a decade ago.
If history has taught us anything, it is that nothing lasts forever. As recently as last year, the Austrian maker KTM lost the crown to Honda, led by Ricky Brabec, after a string of 18 consecutive victories. Kamaz is the undisputed hegemon of the truck category in the Dakar, which it has won on all but four occasions in the 21st century. The rationale behind the Tatar outfit's strategy for this edition may not be immediately obvious, as four-time winner Eduard Nikolayev leaves the cockpit for new responsibilities in the team, but the depth of their roster has often been the key to the success of the Russian drivers.
Kamaz will be fielding four expert drivers in Saudi Arabia: two-time Dakar champion (2014 and 2020) Andrey Karginov; 2015 winner Ayrat Mardeev; 2020 runner-up Anton Shibalov; and the youngest of the four, Dmitry Sotnikov, who finished second in 2017 and again in 2019. The four Russian ambassadors boast a combined 31 stage wins in the Dakar and will be hard to dislodge from the top, as the outfit's technical expertise and team spirit perfectly complement the individual skills of its drivers.
However, their rivals are unfazed and eager to cause an upset. Last year, Sergei Viazovich from Belarus placed his MAZ truck on the bottom step of the overall podium and showed plenty of promise. The truck category has often seen the emergence of national clans, and now the Czech contingent is regrouping to take the fight to the Russians. Martin Macík made his Dakar debut in 2013 and has since gone on to take fifth place on two occasions, 2018 and 2020, making him a legitimate contender for the top spots if the winds of fortune blow his way. The same goes for Aleš Loprais, who has yet to rediscover the magic formula that propelled his uncle Karel to the win six times but remains an important outsider (third in 2007, fourth in 2015 and fifth in 2019).
The Dutch host, yet again the biggest delegation in the race, will be banking on Martin van den Brink, whose 18-year-old son Mitchell, now at the wheel of a different truck, will be the spring chicken of the category. Finally, a South American breeze could sweep through the Saudi desert if Ignacio Casale manages to put in a consistent performance from the get-go. After winning the quad race three times and giving a shot at the SSV category, the Chilean is back in the cockpit of a truck, the same vehicle in which he discovered the Dakar as a co-driver in 2010 (26th). This time round, he has picked a Tatra truck and a Czech mechanic from the Buggyra Racing team to carve himself a niche among the elite.

Maxx Morando: 5 Things To Know About The Drummer Rumored To Be Dating Miley Cyrus
It appears that Miley Cyrus has a new man in her life. Ahead of her NYE party, Miley was spotted kissing Maxx Morando on a balcony in Miami, so here's what you need to know.

Miley Cyrus has always marched to a beat of a different drum, and now, she the perfect accompaniment. Miley, 29, continued to stir up romance rumors between her and drummer Maxx Morando ahead of her Miley's New Year's Eve Party. The "Midnight Sky" singer got in some calisthenics while on the balcony of her Miami hotel room, stretching her leg while in a black romper. After Miley got a bit limber with some stretches, she posed with her backside out towards the window, apparently giving Maxx a show. The two embraced and shared a sweet kiss.

Miley and Maxx, 23, were first romantically linked in July when they were spotted hanging out in Nashville, Tennessee, per Daily Mail. The two attended a Gucci fashion show together in November, furthering speculation that their love was real. As the world waits for these two to make it official, here's what we know about Maxx so far.

1. Maxx Morando Is A Drummer.
"I'm Maxx Morando," a then-18-year-old Maxx wrote for Modern Drummer in 2016. The musician said he had been "playing drums since I was eight and joined the School of Rock in Hollywood. I met some of my bandmates there, three of whom are Sage, Genessa, and Lydia of the Regrettes. My main influences are Phil Collins, Keith Moon, and Jack Bevan."
2. He Was A Member Of The Regrettes.
As Maxx said, he was the drummer for The Regrettes, having met Lydia Night, Sage Chavis, and Genessa Gariano while at music school. The group released their debut EP, Hey!, in 2015, and followed it up with their debut album, Feel Your Feelings Fool!, in 2017.
"We're excited that the incredible Mike Elizondo produced our record," he told Modern Drummer. "The recording process was extremely fun and taught me so much. We recorded live, straight to tape, all in the same room, all at the same time. I was super focused on getting the best take every time as I couldn't go back and re-do little parts. But because of this, I would focus too much and start to stiffen up and not play the way I wanted. After we did a few songs, I started to loosen up, and just played how I'd play live. It taught me to just play drums like I usually would, comfortably. It brought out some really great takes."
Maxx left the group in 2018, after the release of their Attention Seeker EP.

3. Maxx Plays In The Band Liily.
While with the Regrettes, Maxx teamed with singer Dylan Nash, guitarist Sam De La Torre, and bassist Charlie Anastasis to form Liily. "We all knew each other and ran in the same circle of friends," he told Soundazed. "Some of us went to school together, and some of us have known each other since we were around seven." The group released their debut single, "Toro," in late 2018.
Described as a "riffy, aggressive alt-rock combo from Los Angeles," Liily continued to build a buzz over the following years. They released their debut album, TV or Not TV, in 2021.
4. He Is An Artist/Designer.
In September 2021, Maxx shared one of Miley's posts to his Instagram Story (and he made it one of his profile's Highlights.) "Collabed with @shane_kastl to make this look!" Maxx captioned the Story. The look in question was a colorful hodgepodge. Miley wore white short-shorts and a jacket that had different colored sleeves. Both pieces of her outfit were covered in vibrant painted designs.
5. He Has A Peanut Allergy.
While speaking with the publication We Will Punk You!, the interviewer brought up how Max had a recent allergy attack. "I have a peanut allergy. So yeah, I flared up. And that's why I'm eating cornflakes right now," he said. "Anyway. I'm just complaining. It's not even worth it. I'm sorry, enough about me… I'm Maxx."

Yesterday, Google's image was a familiar rice terrace scene. I placed my cursor over the image and it read, "Celebrating Subak." Wow. That's the irrigation system developed here in Bali in the 9th century. Do a web search and see what you find for "Subak.

Virus Bali
The numbers have started to pick up some here. With a population of 4.2 million, Bali now has 1263 reported positives. Surely it's ten or twenty times that. Eleven deaths. It went so long with just four deaths and a few hundred positives. Mass testing focusing on markets, especially the night markets. Everyone has been wearing a mask in public for a couple of months it seems. There aren't all the angry, defiant people like in the States, but many will ignore guidelines when with friends away from public places. Places are open if they want but there are strict guidelines that are followed. Most are closed though. No tourists which is 85% of the economy.

Petty Nitpicking
Of all the things to be dissing the prez for, walking carefully down a ramp should not be one of them. The guy is 74. There should have been a handrail. There are places where all workers are required to use handrails on steps. I'm 75. I would have wanted a handrail - and I walk a lot, swim, and play tennis - and fall down a lot more than when I was younger.

Trouble in Blogger City
Blogger's new interface has a bug with images. Most the images I post I just use their handy URL capture and then it swipes the images from that URL (with a warning not to use other people's stuff if they don't want you to). So the image to the left with a not unusual hole in a Bali sidewalk is taken from Eat Pray Loving Everything about Bali site, a very nice one. Let's see if it is visible online. My associate Peter Ford will try to fix it if not but it might just revert back to invisible. Google will fix this bug before long we assume. - dc

Q: PHP Session loses value after SECOND redirect After combing through SO and trying the approved suggestions found here, my related problem persists. My page starts with a simple login and then you navigate to other potential pages through drop down menus. When I redirect from the index page to a welcome page, I can recall values from my $_SESSION array on to the welcome page. The problem is when you navigate to another page after after that point. The content of the  $_SESSION array gets erased. Even if I reload the same page that already has a return from the $_SESSION array, the array gets erased.
I use XAMPP OSX, php 7.9.2 and localhost on my own computer. I've restarted XAMPP. I've emptied cache and restarted my browser. I've tried other browsers. I've rebooted my computer.
Is there something I can do with my server settings? What could be the source of  my problem?
What is very strange is that the issue came out of the blue. I was able to preserve $_SESSION with no problems weeks before and all of a sudden it began to drop its values.
Update 1
So I've made some changes to my code below to have a separate AJAX page and php pages to really clarify what I'm doing. The problem seems to have improved with what I did.  HOWEVER, there still remains some mysteries:
1) On log out, I get a warning from my AJAX output that the SESSION variable doesn't exist. This is strange as I am able to print out my session content from my php pages when I've logged in and I navigate to other pages.
2) I am unable to make a simple function call (an alert popup) when my footer loads for every page. This alert popup is on the same page as AJAX functions (which seem to work), but the popup doesn't pop.

A: I figured out my problem. After my code updated as posted, I discovered that my problem was that I thought that having session_start() on my header would address and cover all the pages that included the header. This is not the case. The session_start() has to be on literally every php page that refers to $_SESSION super global. This was not very clear on my research, but through trial and error I figured it out.
Thanks

Me: Hello Mudder, how are you this morning?
Mother: Well, I'm alright. How are you?
Me: You don't sound alright.
Mother: Well, I'm not. I'm a little shaken. I had a wild night. I fell out of bed.
Me: YOU FELL OUT OF BED?? ARE YOU OKAY?
Mother: I'm not really sure.
Me: Let me see your arm. Can you bend it? Please walk across the room. I don't see anything. What is your level of pain?
Me: What do you think? Do we need to go?
Mother: Where were we going? To the store?
Me: No, we were going to Urgent Care if needed.
Mother: Well, I'm fine. Let's watch 'Live with Kelly'. She's always funny.
This page is for some of the posts devoted to the adventures we have had with her diagnosis of Alzheimer's and related material. Check back regularly for updated content, and thanks for stopping by to visit.
For over 5 years I took care of a very special woman with Alzheimer. This conversation reminded me of the many funny, conversations and moments I had with her. As painful as the disease is, it also has many entertaining and joyful moments. Those are the ones we hang on to! Thanks for this blog…Gave me a smile first thing this morning!
There are still many good times here as well, for which I am grateful. Thank you for stopping by!
Shell has the right of it! My mother is currently clutched in the arms of Alzheimer's and while the rough days are rough indeed, those days with the bright moments are something I will hold onto forever.
I wish you the best in your journey with your dad. It is definitely a wide range of emotions.
I am one of many who also have a dear mother afflicted with Alzheimers. Beyond what at first was sadness and grief, I found a quiet joy in being with her. I found that the greatest gift I can give her and she gives me is the gift of presence. With someone like this, there is nowhere to be but in that very moment, exquisitely present, dancing with whatever story arises between us. And for that we are both blessed.
Thank you for sharing and allowing me/us to share also.
That is very true, just appreciate and enjoy today. Thank you for sharing your story.
That is very kind of you. I am very privileged to be in this position!
I understand. Sometimes I wish I didn't but then I wouldn't connect with you and so many others.
I had many a conversation like this with my dad and also his mother. Both died from Alzheimer's. Thanks for the humor in a not so funny situation. The quote sums up Alzheimer's perfectly.
I have to find the humor in it when possible, or I would probably cry. (Not that that is always a bad plan.) Losing her in the mall last week still has me feeling pretty low about my caretaker skills, I will admit. I am so sorry for the loss of your dad and grandmother. You probably have much more insight than I have.
thanks for this-my mom fell today. Had much the same conversation. It is so crazy. So crazy!

Q: File system optimizations (ext3) I have a PHP application that for every request loads 1 ini file, and at least 10 PHP files.
As these same files are loaded for every single request I thought about mounting them on a ram disk but I have been told that the linux filing system (ext3) will basically cache them in some way that a ram disk would not improve performance.
Can anyone verify this and possibly explain what is actually happening?
Many thanks.

A: The virtual file system of (not only) linux uses a cache for virtually every filesystem. So yes, that's in place for ext3, too.
But you might be interested in something like apc which stores the byte/intermediate code for php's zend engine in memory.

Stille vor dem Sturm (The Market Basing Mystery) ist eine Detektivgeschichte von Agatha Christie über den belgischen Detektiv Hercule Poirot.

Handlung

In der Krimikurzgeschichte geht es um einen Suizid, welcher wie ein Mord aussehen soll.

Walter Protheroe, Bewohner von Leigh House, ist tot. Der Arzt aber ist sicher, dass es kein Suizid war. Hercule Poirot wird bei der Untersuchung zu Rate gezogen und findet auf dem Boden einen Manschettenknopf und auf dem Tisch einen Aschenbecher mit vielen Zigarettenstummeln. Er befragt die Haushälterin Miss Clegg, die seit 8 Jahren für Protheroe arbeitete, und Mr. und Mrs. Parker, die geschäftlich zu Besuch bei Protheroe sind. Mr. Parker leugnet, dass der Manschettenknopf ihm gehört, wird aber widerlegt. Ungereimtheiten wie ein Taschentuch im vermeintlichen 'falschen' Ärmel und fehlender Zigarettengeruch im Raum trotz der Zigarettenkippen im Aschenbecher lassen Poirot grübeln.

Kurze Zeit später gesteht ein Landstreicher, er habe im Schuppen von Leigh House Unterschlupf gesucht und habe gesehen, dass sich zwei Männer stritten. Er meint sich zu erinnern, dass der eine Geld verlangte, was der andere ablehnte. Er beschreibt die Männer als Mr. Protheroe und Mr. Parker. Es stellt sich heraus, dass Mr. Protheroe eigentlich Wendover hieß und 1910 als Marineleutnant an der Sprengung des Kreuzers 'Merrythought' beteiligt war. Mr. Parker wusste um Wendovers Rolle und erpresste ihn.
Deswegen geht der ermittelnde Inspektor davon aus, dass Mr. Parker Mr. Wendover im Streit erschoss und es nach Suizid aussehen lassen wollte. "Im Verlauf des Streites zog Wendover seine Pistole, Parker entriß sie ihm und versuchte dann, es wie Selbstmord aussehen zu lassen."
Doch er irrt. Auf Poirots Druck hin klärt Miss Clegg letztlich auf, dass Protheroe/Wendover tatsächlich durch Suizid starb, weil er die Blamage fürchtete, die er erwartete, wenn seine Vergangenheit öffentlich würde. Miss Clegg legte die Spur zu Mr. Parker.

"Ich liebte ihn so", antwortete sie. "Ich war sein Kindermädchen, als er noch ein kleiner Junge war."
Sie hat ihn zwar nicht umgebracht, aber die Pistole in die rechte Hand geschoben, weil sie wusste, dass Protheroe/Wendover Linkshänder ist und so der Verdacht auf Mr. Parker fallen musste, dem sie die Schuld am Tode ihres Arbeitgebers gab.

Veröffentlichungen

Die Geschichte erschien im Original unter dem Titel The Market Basing Mystery 1923 und später erneut in dem gleichnamigen Sammelband Yellow Iris. In der Sammlung Hercule Poirots größte Triumphe, herausgegeben von der Verlagsgruppe Weltbild, wurde sie, ins Deutsche übersetzt von Adi Oes, Edith Walter, Felix von Poellheim und Sabine Reinhardt-Jost, erneut veröffentlicht.

The Five Ancestors Series: Book 2
The temple has been burned. Grandmaster is dead. The only five survivors have scattered like the wind. Alone. For the first time. No brothers, no mentors, no teachers–just eleven-year-old Malao, the "monkey," all by himself in the woods. Malao loves to make jokes and fool around, but now the only home he has ever known is burning and his four surviving temple brothers have disappeared. Suddenly nothing seems as funny as it used to. Grandmaster told Malao to discover the secrets of his past, but for a monkey nothing is ever simple. He hasn't traveled far when he stumbles into a battle between a group of bandits and an army of monkeys. One of the bandits looks strangely familiar, and the monkeys are led by a large, white, one-eyed male, who seems to know Malao. In this second volume of the Five Ancestors series, Jeff Stone continues the exciting story of five youngsters destined for greatness–if they can only survive!
"Stone has done a masterful job of managing an intricate plot, developing authentic characters, and writing well-described fight scenes. An easy and worthy sell to middle-grade readers." —School Library Journal

7 Tips for Writer's Block-busting Chord Progressions
by Connor McCoy, iZotope Contributor April 17, 2019
There are a number of chord progression tricks you can use to make your songs more interesting. Common methods include borrowing chords from a parallel key, building new chord progressions around an alternative melody, or adding a sense of richness and tension with diminished chords. When writer's block happens, however, it helps to have a system in place that will help you get out of it quickly. You can try using apps that help you choose chord progressions or you can take chord progression ideas from existing songs.
In this article, we'll cover the latter method and share some widely used chord progressions that will help you break out of writer's block.
For ease of explanation, the key of C Major will be used for this article.
1. I-IV-V (C Major - F Major - G Major)
Otherwise known as the "three chord song," this chord progression has stood the test of time as one of the most popular progressions in modern western music. It's used in genres as far afield as bluegrass and as modern as hip-hop and trap.
Generally, this progression lends itself to brighter, happier, and sometimes nostalgic song ideas, due to its very major tonality.
Often, songs that contain this progression will use I-IV-V for the verse, but switch to a different order of the same chords for the pre-chorus or chorus. IV is a popular starting point for many choruses, regardless of chord progression. Play around with these three chords and see what you can come up with! Feel free to simplify it and stick to I-IV, which is a great foundation for any great folk/bluegrass/soft pop song.
Some examples of songs that use the I-IV-V chord progression:
"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" - Green Day
"Diane Young" - Vampire Weekend
"Leaving on a Jet Plane" - John Denver
"Big Yellow Taxi" - Joni Mitchell
2. I-v-IV (C Major - G Minor - F Major)
This is one of my favorite chord progressions. It's pretty rare to find in modern music, but is really accessible for songwriters of all kinds. By changing the V chord from major to minor, you stain your song a whole different color. This also heavily affects the mood of the song, in many ways dampening it and making it a bit more sad, sultry, and hopeful.
Some examples of songs that use the I-v-IV chord progression:
"The Only Exception" - Paramore
"Fire and Rain" - James Taylor (he changes the V from minor to major multiple times throughout the song!)
3. I-vi-IV-V (C Major - A Minor - F Major - G Major)
The wonderful thing about these sorts of chord progressions is their ability to stay stagnant throughout the whole song and not get boring. By throwing in the glorious "vi" chord in the mix, you give the listener just enough fill of their minor chord fix. This creates anthemic, sometimes soft feel. This chord progression was most commonly used in the 50s, hence its nickname, "The 50s Chord Progression."
Some examples of songs that use the I-vi-IV-V chord progression:
"Every Breath You Take" - The Police
"Flightless Bird, American Mouth" - Iron & Wine
"I'm the One" - DJ Khaled feat. Justin Bieber
"I Will Always Love You" - Dolly Parton
4. I-IV-vi-IV-(V) (C Major - F Major - A Minor - F Major - (G Major)
This chord progression varies a bit from the classic four chord structure by waiting to give you the dominant chord (the V chord) until later in the song, or it some cases, never at all! For this reason, songs written with this chord progression are often extremely anthemic, droning, and powerful. Just make sure you use that V chord wisely. When you refrain from using the V chord in a major progression, it becomes that much more noticeable when you slap it on in the middle of the song. Used correctly, this chord progression is a beautiful tool to look into your anthemic side.
One of my favorite examples of this progression is "Open Your Eyes" by Snow Patrol
5. ii-IV-I-V (D minor - F major - C major - G major)
This is probably the first chord progression in this article that hasn't been truly driven into the ground by songwriters quite yet. By starting on the minor, you don't give the listener resolution until the end of the progression, which also allows you to loop the progression for as long as you want (as "Pumped Up Kicks" does).
Because of this, this progression lends itself to darker, suspenseful tones.
Some examples of songs that use the ii-IV-I-V chord progression:
"Radioactive" - Imagine Dragons
"You Belong With Me" - Taylor Swift (Pre-Chorus)
"Mad World" - Tears for Fears (or, my favorite version, by Gary Joules)
6. I-vi-ii-V (C Major - A Minor - D Minor - G Major)
A popular chord progression among older jazz standards, this chord progression is a mathematical gold mine. It feels, to me at least, like the most complete progression. It's also a very fluid progression—it works with most genres. It has a very light and happy-go-lucky feel when played at a faster tempo, but its not constrained by that—at a slower tempo, this song could be a potential wistful, nostalgic ballad.
Here are my two favorite examples that showcase the two different sides of this progression:
"Wild Hunt" - Tallest Man on Earth
"Beyond the Sea" - Bobby Darin
7. i-VI-IV (E Minor - C Major - A Major)
That's right! Songs can be in minor, too! This is one of my favorite chord progressions in the minor key. In minor, the "vi" chord becomes major (VI), which gives the IV chord a more resolute end to the progression.
If you're looking to avoid major key songwriting, this is a great place to start. Definitely on the more solemn side of songs, the i-VI-IV progression can be a great tool to get out some heart-breakers and heartstring pullers.
My favorite example of this progression is "Drive" by Incubus.
Hopefully, these seven tips for chord progressions better equip you to overcome whatever creative songwriting blocker you may be facing. Remember not to underestimate your own ability to create interesting chord progressions. Who knows? You might surprise yourself!

This is for those that haven't seen the 16 baby pandas. SICHUAN , China -- One zoo in southwest China has its hands full with 16 baby pandas.
The heaviest tips the scale at just over 24 pounds, while the lightest weighs about 11 pounds.
The pandas are due to stop suckling by February, 2007 just about the time they'll start learning to walk.
Once weaned, the panda cubs will attend panda kindergarten. In the meantime, more little ones are expected at the center since 38 giant pandas were artificially impregnated.

The Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee conducted its first ever piece of post-legislative scrutiny.
The Committee agreed to examine Section 97 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, which put the National Fraud Initiative (NFI) on a statutory footing, to consider whether any improvements could be made.
any further policy or legislative changes are required to improve the effectiveness of the National Fraud Initiative.
On 29 September 2016, the Parliament agreed that the Public Audit Committee should also include post-legislative scrutiny within its remit.
The Session 4 Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments (SPPA) Committee, in its report on post-legislative scrutiny, stated that post-legislative scrutiny "will normally involve an assessment of the extent to which the policy intentions of a particular piece of legislation are being delivered and, if they are not wholly being delivered, the reasons for this."
The Parliament's decision means that the Committee can now decide to consider previous Acts of the Scottish Parliament to determine whether they have achieved their intended purpose. This may mean examining a specific part of an Act rather than the legislation as a whole.
The Committee launched a call for written submissions with a deadline of Friday 31 March for written submissions from public bodies.

iPhone 8 Rumored to Use Facial Recognition Instead of Home Button
In a newly filed patent application, Apple reveals facial recognition may lock and unlock the iPhone 8.
By Marissa Miller
Courtesy of Apple
If you've spent the entirety of your relationship with your iPhone 7 wondering what the next big thing would hold in store, you're not alone. First we learned from KGI Securities the iPhone 8 would come in three sizes, include a glass casing (a shatter-prone feature we haven't seen since the iPhone 4), and boast a massive OLED display. Then we discovered there might not be an iPhone 8, as we believe to know it, at all.
But if the iPhone 8 does materialize on shelves, Forbes reports we might see one truly unique update: the removal of the home button. This isn't an attempt at the aesthetic minimalism we see from shrunken bezel sizes but rather serves a functional purpose. The iPhone 8 (If that is its real name) is slated to run on touch sensory, which removes the need for a physical button. Just press down on the glass casing itself to toggle between apps. What else is rendering button obsolete? Facial recognition, which Apple Insider reports to be Apple's new biometric security measure (read: cool new way to unlock a phone) after the company filed an application at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office last week.
What has yet to be determined, though, is whether facial recognition will replace touch sensory in its entirety. (Please no! What if we're trying to subtly text in class and can't look down at our phone?!) Forbes is confident that if there's anyone who can revolutionize the smartphone game, it's Apple. So hopefully we are in good hands.

Stranger Things 4 Part 1 (2022) Review
SPOILERS AHEAD
So Stranger Things 4 is finally out now, at least the first part is. It's been a while since we've seen our favourite group of troublemakers and the adventures they go on. I'm happy that they're finally back and I can't wait to see where we go in the future, as this is basically the beginning of the end. This first 3/4s of the season establish and reveal so much about the world and about the history of of what has happened. The season isn't over yet so when Part 2 is released I will do a full season review with everything about the characters and arcs and all that stuff. We're getting close to the end but we're not there yet so the arcs aren't finished and still have a ways to go. I will still talk about the stuff that I liked or disliked about the season so far. There will be spoilers here so if you don't want anything spoiled than go watch it and come back. But first, here are my thoughts and impressions after watching each episode.
Chapter 1: The Hellfire Club
HOLY SHIT WHAT AN EPISODE INTRO ! Give a different view of what happened in the past between Dr. Brenner and Eleven. Just wow. It really gives a re-contextualized look at what eleven has done in the past in the lab. Interesting opening and introduction to the characters. Interesting to see where the characters are now in their lives in high school. A lot more cinematic and more creative in the editing between locations and characters. A good example of this is the editing between the hellfire club scene and the basketball championship scene. Also the parallels between the sinclair shots is great. Doing a lot this season to separate the characters again (with Lucas trying to be popular and Dustin, Mike, and Erica missing the game). Does a good job of creating tension with figuring out if certain things are real or not. The tension mostly comes from the Chrissy scenes. And Holy Shit that ending ! Over-all for a first episode its good, not the best of the series but to me my favourite parts are the beginning and the ending. The most interesting stuff happened in those parts. So far I find that my interest in the series usually gets more as the season goes on as that's when everything hits the fan. It's going to be interesting to see how this psychic creature will affect the series in the coming episodes. I already can't wait until the part of the season where the characters all come together to figure out and stop what is going on. So far good use of cliff hanger endings
Chapter 2: Vecna's Curse
Interesting intro, showing what happened to hopper and how he survived. We continue to see this throughout the episode, getting to see where Hopper has been and where one group of characters are going to be. This episode was better, we get to see Mike and Eleven back together, with third wheel will. We get the group of Dustin, Max, Robin, and Steve together doing what they're doing. Getting the first view of the monster for this season, and a little of the story surrounding it. The dungeons and dragons monster inspiration. Something that we have kinda seen before and more from last episode with showing more of this emotional murder mode that Eleven gets into. We get more of the main two storylines going forward and the likely eventual clash between Dustin's group with Eddie, and Lucas' basketball group. As well as another victim of Vecna's curse. Overall an episode I like more than the first, less teen drama and more of the stuff that I like from this show. Mike is a lot less of a prick so far and it'll be interesting to see where that storyline goes in the future. Also our first view of the upside down this season.
Chapter 3: The Monster and the superhero
WHAT AN EPISODE. Things are starting to come together for the characters. MAX IS THE NEXT TARGET AAAAHHH. The possibility of the return of Eleven's powers, the coming of the clash between the jocks with lucas and the "freaks" with eddie and dustin. Lucas having to reconcile his two lives along with all the other stuff going on. This episode is great and gives us more to look forward too in the future. I can't wait to see where we go from here.
Chapter 4: Dear Billy
WHAT AN EPISODE……..AGAIN! This episode was intense, crazy, and the OH SHIT episode. The episode where things go downhill in the first half of the season. THINGS ARE GETTING REAL. My god this was Max's episode. So incredible. One of the most pulse pounding episodes so far. I was internally screaming at the end here just my god. We got things going wrong with the California crew with probably a military attack, we got things going wrong with the Russia/Alaska crew, and then of course we got the full view of the upside down with Max and her struggle against Vecna. Incredible episode with a relatively feel good ending.
Chapter 5: The Nina Project
Another great episode. We're seeing more interaction of the stories such as Jason's storyline with Eddie intersecting with Vecna. Eleven seeing DOCTOR BRENNER ALIVE AGAIN and helping her to restore her powers. It's interesting how they're making her go through her mind and memories to gain her powers back, which should be useful with Vecna due to going after grief and guilt. Again going to be interesting going forward.
Chapter 6: The Dive
HOLY SHIT! Another pretty good episode. More of Eleven's training arc, the noose around Hawkins tightens ever more so now with the kids being hunted by the public due to Jason galvanizing the populace to go after Eddie. It's getting bigger and bigger.
Chapter 7: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab
HOLY CRAP ! What a way to end this part of the season! An incredible episode where the separate storylines have officially merged together. Along with the biggest reveal of the season and bringing the flashbacks back to the origins of the series itself. As well as THE BIGGEST REVEAL thus far. Insane episode showing just who Vecna is and just how powerful he and Eleven are and will be again. We also find out what Vecna is doing and why he is doing it. We also get some cool scenes showing what the different physics are like for the Upside Down. But I can't wait to see where this goes forward, and what Vecna's plans are for Nancy and why he revealed everything to her. It's a good place to do a season break as it answers questions that we have had since the very beginning, but also leave more for the end of the season, and even the end of the series. This is an episode full of Holy Shit moments. We got that flashback reveal, we got Hopper and the Russians fighting a Demogorgon (it's been a while since we've seen you), we got a full CG Demogorgon slaughtering a bunch of people. Like it was crazy seeing just what a Demogorgon can do. Just an over-all incredible episode.
As you can see, I've been enjoying this season. It really brings it up to another level and makes everything much bigger now. It's a much more cinematic season, a lot more stuff is going on and happens than has happened in the past. More of the town is involved, the military, cross-country and even in Russia. The world of this story continues to get bigger and bigger and it'll be interesting to see just how big it's going to get in the future. It's bigger even in what we see of the upside down. We see a lot more of that dimension than we've seen in past seasons. With multiple characters going there for extended periods of time in the wide open reaches of the dimension, as well as people in their mind going there. We also get a lot more action this time around. We get a bit more stuff outside of power scenes and being chased by vans, or the action of last season. Like we got the scene at the byers California home, and the plane scene that really shows how they're experimenting with the show and with what they can do. Which is going to be good for the final season as it feels like that's going to be something big and epic. This season feels more psychological horror based than in the past. So much of the horror this season has been in the minds of the characters that are hunted by Vecna. A lot less of the more overt body horror of the last season. It also ups the ante of the dread felt by the characters as this isn't just another example of having to close a gate or stop a monster. This is a monster they have no chance of fighting at the moment, especially since there are a lot more gates and a much more dangerous monster. The music so far this season is incredible as always, and the soundtrack is great again as well.
I have really been enjoying the characters this season. Mike is a lot less of a prick than he's been in the past, especially last season. He still has his moments but he still cares about eleven even after knowing that she's been lying to him this whole time. He can still be an asshole but he almost always immediately regrets it and apologizes to people. Johnathan and Nancy have an interesting arc showing how important communication is in a relationship. And how Nancy and Steve are kind of rekindling their relationship together a bit. Max and Lucas have an interesting arc about communication and the truth that almost costs Max her life. Lucas is really interesting as for the first half he's caught between two halves, he wants to be popular and to not be bullied anymore, but he also wants his friends. At the moment he has chosen his friends that he has basically gone to war with, but these two sides are going to clash sooner rather than later. The alaska crew is on an interesting arc, it's not finished yet so I can't say more about it. Same with Will as his arc is tied to Mike and Eleven's and we definitely aren't at the end of that yet either. Eleven's arc is really interesting as it's forcing her to confront her past to get her powers back and maybe be even stronger. She thinks of herself as a monster, but its about her learning about her past truths and that she is both right and wrong. I won't elaborate more as it's not completely over yet. I can say they learned from the second season about having Eleven go on an arc about becoming more powerful and accepting of herself.
I like the new characters introduced, Especially Argyle and Eddie. Both are fun characters and bring a lot of the comedic relief in the show, which is needed due to how intense it can be at times. The friendly orderly from Eleven's flashbacks is an interesting character, showing how hard it is to truly find someone to trust in this system. He is interesting in the first few times we see him, but gives us some of the biggest Oh Shit moments in chapter 7. The returning side characters are really good this season, especially a surprising return of someone we haven't seen in a while, and a different side to him than we were used to seeing the last time we saw him.
Some issues I have with the season so far are that Will right now feels like a bit of an afterthought. He's around for the ride but his arc is so tied to the Mike and Eleven arc that he doesn't get to do much this season. Although his Arc does tie into some of the over-all themes of this season. I guess it means he's getting a bit of a break from being so tied to the upside down in the past. Although I'm surprised given how popular he's been the past couple seasons. Another issue is how at this point the formula of the show is kind of now in the open and we're more aware of it now than we have in the past. Like now we gotta separate someone of everyone else to go off somewhere else to do something, and its Eleven again like in season 2. Although it's handled better here than it was in season 2 and it felt like she was missing from the show for so much of that season. Whereas here her arc and what she is going through is a lot more integral to what is happening in Hawkins and is a part of the major storyline over-all, as well as the over-all themes of this season. I'm not sure how I feel about the Russia and Alaska stuff yet and what it does for the characters, as it's not just over yet. Also the affects are mostly pretty good, like the upside down and Vecna look great, but some of the CG over-all is kind of iffy. Especially the de-aging this season as that can be a little uncanny valley sometimes.
I would say the themes of this season so far are that you have to face and confront the truth, even if you don't like it and could affect a lot. So many of the arcs this season are about characters confronting and admitting the truth about themselves and their feelings. Pretty much all the character arc are about them not being truthful to themselves, to others, or even to their own psyche. If we go even further, the truth of what is happening, and event he truth of what has happened all these years to the town. The next few episodes are going to be interesting seeing these truths come to light.
Over-all this is a great season so far. It's intense, funny, scary at times, and over-all an enjoyable ride. I can't wait for the next episodes to finish out the season.

The Unique and Organic Salt of Guerande
GUERANDE, France – The region of Guerande in western France has long been known for its salt-producing marshes but in recent years its commitment to environmental and high-quality production devoid of chemicals has catapulted its salt to gastronomic fame.
The vast salt lakes on the Atlantic coast produce some 10,000 tons of the mineral every year in a precise operation that is overseen by around 330 workers.
"Guerande salt is rich in trace elements, harvested traditionally and not mechanized, all without inputs according to methods that are thousands of years old," said Thierry Giraud, a salt worker in his sixties.
"The process is unique to the area because the harvest takes place "on a clayey, malleable and waterproof bottom," Giraud added.
The method is largely natural, with plentiful water and sun being the main production elements, unlike for many salt plants in the south of the country that use additives to produce industrial salt, the expert said.
Although the ingredients that go into Guerande salt are minimal, the irrigation of the marshes is precise and managed by a series of basins where the shallow water pools evaporate to reveal the mineral.
Farmers were reaping the benefits of the lagoons as early as the 3rd century, when Roman settlements conquered the area.
Nowadays the marshes have experienced a large volume of young men flocking to the farm to learn the traditional techniques.
Cedric Leray, a man in his thirties, left his job to be trained up by his uncle Giraud in the art of salt production.
He told EPA that he enjoys the manual aspect of the labour, as do many of the other men and the small percentage of women who have joined the team.
The salt farms' yield is 100% organic and this commitment to producing a high-quality product has meant Guerande salt has earned the coveted Red Label, meaning it is considered superior quality.
It is the only sea salt to boast this tag.
But the process, as well as being arduous, is dependent on the elements.
"Rain can extinguish the crystallization process and marine pollution such as oil spills are also a risk," Giraud said.
The workers use two different techniques to harvest coarse salt and salt flower.
Coarse salt, which presents a larger grain size in a grey hue, produces high daily yields.
Salt flower is much finer, has a crisp texture, is snow white and is considered to be of higher quality than the coarse variety. It is also more expensive.
Unlike coarse salt, the flower hovers on the surface of the water and has to be skimmed off the top of the marsh in the evening before disappearing at night.
The traditional harvesting techniques are woven into the complex biodiversity of the area, and the efforts of salt workers contribute to safeguarding a fragile environment that is home to many species of migratory birds that nest in the area.
The region has many endangered floral species and the respectful way in which harvests are overseen contributes to their protection, something the workers are very proud to be a part of Giraud added.
