Cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes for many years. By now we've all heard about cannabinoids – the compounds in cannabis that offer us their healing properties. However, many of us are unaware that there are other foods that also contain their very own cannabinoids – along with a unique set of healing properties – as well.
A cannabinoid is a naturally occurring compound found in plants, most notably the Cannabis Sativa plant. Of the 480 compounds found in Cannabis, 66 of those are considered cannabinoids.
Cannabinoids affect the user by interacting with receptors in the different parts of the central nervous system. Interactions typically take place in our limbic system, which is the part of the brain that affects memory, cognition, and psychomotor performance. They're also widely distributed in areas of pain receptors, which is why cannabis is often prescribed as a pain reliever.
Two kinds of cannabinoid receptors have been found to date, and they're called CB1 and CB2. The major difference between the cannabinoids is the extent to which they are psychologically active.
The most common cannabinoids in Cannabis are THC and CBD, with CBD making up approximately 40% of Cannabis resin. THC is the only plant cannabinoid that produces a clear psychological effect on its own.
Cannabinoids may be a great option for those struggling to control their weight, especially for those struggling with obesity or anorexia. Cannabis has long been known to increase appetite and food consumption. A study conducted in 2006 showed that Endocannabinoids target the CB1 receptor, helping to play a role in appetite control peripheral metabolism, and body weight regulation.
Evidence suggests that cannabinoids may prove useful in pain modulation by inhibiting neuronal transmission in pain pathways.
Cannabinoids THC, which are prevalent in cannabis, are a sedative. In a study run on the effects of marijuana extracts and THC on sleep patterns, reduced eye movement density was noted.
Cannabinoids have been found to act on various cancer cell lines. They were also found to be suppressors of angiogenesis and tumor invasion.
Cannabis isn't the only plant that will give you the healing power of cannabinoids. While these plants won't have the same effect as the Cannabis plant, they will still offer you many benefits.
Indigenous to New Zealand but found throughout the world, liverwort contains large amounts of perrottetinenic acid (or bibenzyl cannabinoid), which is similar to THC, the psychoactive component in the cannabis plant. This cannabinoid has been known to treat bronchitis and alleviate problems with the gallbladder, liver, and bladder.
The fresh liverwort plant should be avoided due to its irritating properties. The best way to harness liverwort is through infusion or an extract of the herb. Dosage should not exceed 3.8 grams of the dried herb, which is roughly the equivalent of 4 teaspoons of a 3-6 percent infusion.
Echinacea has been known to fight anxiety, fatigue, migraines, and arthritis. It's different from cannabis in that it uses cannabimimetics instead of cannabinoids to engage the endocannabinoid system, particularly the CB2 receptor. the N-alkyl amides (NAAs) in echinacea are responsible for regulating the immune system, pain, and inflammation.
Echinacea is available as an essential oil, or in pill form.
This daisy, which is native to South Africa, has strong mood-stabilizing and anti-depressant properties due to its large amount of cannabigerol (CBG), which are also found in the cannabis plant.
One of the best ways to take advantage of this plants health benefits is using it as an essential oil. You can inhale the scent, apply it to the skin, diffuse your home with it, or add it to your bath.
Black pepper has been found to function as a cannabinoid with its compound beta-caryophyllene (BCP). BCP binds to the CB2 receptors, giving it the effect of reducing inflammation. This dynamic plant has potent anti-inflammatory properties and helps to relieve pain caused by arthritis and osteoporosis.
Black pepper is readily available, and many people have it in their pantry already. You can sprinkle it on your meals as a spice, or chew on the peppercorn itself.
It's always important to check with a healthcare professional before adding any new foods or supplements to your diet. Whether you're for or against the use of cannabis, it's undeniable that the cannabinoids within certain plants offer a wide variety of healing benefits. You don't need to alter the state of your mind in order to heal your body.

with Johanna Lunn
Sheree Fitch – Part 2
Sheree Fitch is known for many things: an author of witty and wonderful children's books, an award-winning poet, a bookstore owner and a teller of stories. But in 2018 she became known as something else—a mother grieving the loss of her son.
To help her through grief, Fitch turned to what she knows best: writing. She began to chronicle her journey, never intending to publish, but to use it as a means of catharsis. But as the book began to take form, Fitch was persuaded to make it public, in hopes that it might help others who have become part of "that club to which no one wants to belong."
Fitch says she looks at herself as a before and after: all the things she was known for before the death of her son Dustin and who she became after he died. She spoke with team member Kelley Edwards about grief, her sojourn through it and writing her book called "You Won't Always Be This Sad."

Please note before reading - while you might of found this solution from a search result and the post looks long and possibly intimidating - it is not! Once you familiarize yourself with the steps, the process becomes quite easy to duplicate per machine where required. Most of the post here is providing explanation of what's happening as opposed to the raw steps needed to preform the encryption/decryption.
I have about a half of dozen posts in 'draft' form partially done that I want to get off my plate, so in no particular order here is one I've had on the back burner for a while. I'll guide you through encrypting configuration sections in application .config files. Nothing cutting edge her, but still an important topic to cover.
This is applicable to any type of .config such as a web.config or an app.config file so that means it spreads the technology spectrum of ASP.NET, WinForms, WPF, Windows Services, etc.. I have not yet looked into the equivalent for Win8 Store Apps using LocalSettings or RoamingSettings, so for now this is applicable to the aforementioned that use .config files. Since the LocalSettings are buried in .dat files in the user's profile the need may not be as pressing as the .config files that reside in the virtual directory of a web site directly in the well known inetpub\wwwroot.
OK I get it, the authors typically do not have the time or want to go into a major tangent to talk about securing these elements with encryption. However today that's exactly what I'm going to show you how to do. If for some reason you have not caught on yet, you do not want sensitive information that is displayed above in plain text. If the file is compromised (internally or externally in the wrong hands for 1 of 100 reasons) it's a good layer of protection against being able to read it directly without decryption. In any regard, you as a developer should ALWAYS be thinking about security and protecting any type of sensitive data as if it's your own.
The steps are really straight forward and the process is quite simple and repetitive once you get used to it. I recommend you make a cheat sheet of notes for encrypting and decrypting the configuration sections to aid you on an ongoing basis. Steps 1-2 below only have to be done 1 time. Steps 3-4 are only done 1 time per machine where decryption will take place. Steps 5-6 are the steps ongoing to encrypt and decrypt configuration sections when needed.
NOTE: All steps below must be done running the command line tool as an Administrator. If you do not do this you will get various errors when trying to create/export keys as well as with manipulating permissions.
Let's being by talking about the default provider and why it will not suffice for encryption / decryption needs outside of a single machine.
If you use the default RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider without specifying a a Custom RSA Key Container, the encryption/decryption will only work on the machine where the data is 1st encrypted. Obviously this solution is no good as you will more than likely develop a solution locally and publish/deploy to 1...n servers. In this scenario, you need to create a Custom RSA machine-level container key and export it to a file which can then be imported on the servers where the application will run.
If you try and decrypt the .config file manually using the command line with the default provider on a secondary machine where the encryption was not done, you will receive the following error below. Also in your .NET application at runtime, you would get an error upon trying to access any of the settings that have been encrypted.
This is the directory where the machine keys from the command line below get created and stored. The issue is, even as an administrator you may not have access to create and manipulate the keys by default. The easiest thing to do is allow the 'Administrators' group of the machine have 'Modify' permissions to this directory.
Note: If just running through these steps and you want to see how it all works on a single machine locally, you can skip Step #2 and #3 and come back later to export and import to additional machines.
We must export the newly created encryption key so it can then be imported on 1...n machines where our app will run. This way we know decryption will occur seamlessly once we deploy.
Note: the -pri switch makes sure both the private and public keys are exported. This enables both encryption and decryption. Without the– switch, you would only be able to encrypt data with the exported key.
You should see the following success message below. Also note the .xml file created in the location you specified in the command.
Next we must import the .xml file containing the RSA encryption key on the machine(s) where our app will be running. Obviously we do not need to import it on the current machine because we have already created it in the machine keys. However, you must copy that file to the servers/machines where the app will run and import it.
I would assume the PowerShell gurus could script or automate this process rather quickly across machines. I'll just show the command required.
NOTE: It is important to DELETE the .xml file containing the keys once they have been successfully imported. This way the keys don't fall into the wrong hands and get imported on a machine where not desired. You can always go back to the main machine and export again as needed.
Failed to decrypt using provider 'AppEncryptionProvider'. Error message from the provider: The RSA key container could not be opened.
...then come back to this section and make sure to grant access both to the key and at the MachineKey folder to the user context for which your app/service/etc. is running under.
aspnet_regiis -pa "SecurityKeys" "NT Authority\NETWORK SERVICE"
Note: This process uses the aspnet_regiis.exe tool and targets web.config files by default. However, this will still work for any type of app.config file as well. Just close any open instances of your app.config file in VS.NET and rename it temporaily to web.config for the encrypting process. Once complete, rename back to app.config and open back up in VS.NET. You will see the encryption still works perfectly.
aspnet_regiis -pef "appSettings" "C:\EncryptionTest" -prov "AppEncryptionProvider"
Now open back up the web.config or app.config file and the sections are encrypted!
Decrypting the file as we will see in step #7 happens automatically upon calling any settings in code, but obviously the resulting encrypted sections do not allow you to make changes. You may need to decrypt the .config file to get the sections in a state where changes can be made.
Open the file back up and it should be decrypted so changes can be made.
Guess what code you need to access the <appsettings> or <connectionstrings> values in code to ensure it gets decrypted properly? Nothing!! That's why this is so great, all of it was handled in the configuration by the configured provider and Key Container.
Look at the following line of code in action! It was decrypted on the fly seamlessly and no special coding was needed. That's nice!
This is a really simple way to add security to those elements that are sensitive in your configuration files. So instead of having your entire database connection string in plain text within your .config file, consider taking 2 minutes and encrypting it!
Should the config file really contain useMachineContainer="false" given that this is a machine-level key?
config file should contain useMachineContainer="true", not "false"


Midnight Helen, sometimes you have to be practical. I mean, my mom was so cute and fun when I got her twelve years ago. Now, her hair has changed color and she has gained a lot of weight. I wanted a cute, young, fun mom. Why should I be stuck with some frumpy, middle-aged human? I could get rid of her and get someone better. Seriously, I wish I knew some way to convince humans to open their hearts again after they\'ve decided to abandon a cat. I mean, your mom could have given advice about how to move with cats and that lady would have come up with more excuses about how the cats clash with the carpet in her new home or something. It\'s so frustrating because we never give up on our humans (unless they abuse us or something).
OH Midnight Helen! I'm on Revolution too! I don't like when they put it on me, I lick and lick and try to kink my neck to reach it... it's maddening! Well, meowmie is STIll very upset and hasn't found that mouse tail yet... she DID find another mouse with its tail chewed off! She usually is real careful about cutting their tails off, but this second one is so HUGE that she thought NO WAY could I eat that! I hope I'm not in trouble [health wise!].
Hi Helen, I hope you're feeling better and that you don't have heartworms! That sounds bad! Alex ... you are sooo funny! My mommy is fat and middle-aged too, but I don't want to get rid of her. I just got her, though. I may change my mind in a year or two! hehe Take care of yourself, Helen!


Cryptocurrency is the buzz word nowadays. One can find expert advice about investing or not investing in crypto currencies in every nook and corner. Many a times going by this kind of advice has resulted in teaching lessons instead of earning returns. People generally are perceiving crypto currencies in general and Bitcoins in particular as something which is capable of taking them from rags to riches.
Many people on the internet endorse this type of strategy heavily.
This approach means buying a fixed amount of cryptocurrency at regular intervals, similar to the SIP route of investing in mutual funds. One doesn't even look at the price, one just buys to accumulate it for investment purposes after specific intervals of time.
For instance, let's say that you like the long-term prospects of Ripple. On some coin exchange, it's easy to setup a schedule to buy a certain amount of Ripple every month.
You could setup a schedule where you purchase of ₹100 of Ripple on the first day of every month.
For whom is this strategy is suitable?
This strategy is for you if you want to invest in cryptocurrencies for the sake of investing. Or simply put, you don't want to miss out on this latest fad. You may forget to check the charts and want it all automated.
But frankly speaking, that's just being lazy.
Yes, Rupee cost averaging would have worked very well over the past year. But that is only because we saw the prices climbing ever high peaks, across almost all cryptocurrencies in the previous one year.
As the trade in modern days digital currencies become more active, Rupee cost averaging becomes more risky.
For the small amount of time that Litecoin has been actively traded, we have seen deep troughs in price graph. One example is the drop marked here with the arrow.
It went from $38.95 to $19.36, prices dropped to a level which was half the prices trading few days back44!
If you had bought $500 worth of Litecoin and saw it drop to $250 in a matter of a few weeks, would you still stay in? Maybe.
Anyone would freak out in such panic situations, and rightfully so. That's not good risk management. It's a much better investment to try to get in near $19.36 because that minimizes your downside. Could it drop more? Of course.
However, you just eliminated about $20 of downside, simply by waiting for a better place to get in.
In this strategy, you would purchase the same Rupee amount of each currency that you are investing in.
…and you have ₹1,000 to invest, you would allocate ₹250 to each currency. Any subsequent investment would be divided equally between the four currencies.
You would wait for the price to form a Baseball Cap (as described above), before you buy each one.
Who this Strategy is For?
If you want to build a diversified portfolio of coins, but you aren't sure which ones will do well, then this is the strategy is for you. It gives you exposure to a few currencies that have the best chance of succeeding at a good price.
With this buying strategy, you would fail to maximize your investment in the currencies that will outperform the rest. But since you can't be absolutely sure of which ones will be successful, this strategy gives you good diversification.
To take advantage of the currencies that you think will do the best, you could use the Unbalanced Portfolio Strategy. In this strategy, you would allocate every investment by how well you think each currency will perform.
If you think that Bitcoin will perform the rest over time, then it would make sense to invest a majority of your money in it.
Each subsequent investment would be distributed according to these predetermined percentages.
And of course, you would not buy each currency until you see a Baseball Cap.
Who is this Strategy For?
This is for investors who have done extensive research into currencies and have a very good idea of which ones will perform well. The previously decided percentage allocation to each currency can change over time, but be sure that you have a very good reason to make the change.
The only downside is that you could get the allocation wrong and invest too little in the best performing currency. So only use this strategy if you are reasonably sure of your predictions.
If not, then the Balanced Portfolio Strategy would be best.
Once you have a solid portfolio of currencies and you are in profit, you can start to branch out to other currencies that have better prospects as we have seen that this space of digital currencies is highly uncertain and every day we see new and promising players emerging in the market.
For example, let's say that you bought 3 Ether coins for $52 each. As I write this, Ether is at $368.
Now, let's say that you really like the potential of the Ripple Network. You could take half of that $1,002 profit and invest it in XRP.
By using this strategy, you can leverage your gains to make higher returns and diversify your portfolio.
In order to get the most out of your current profits, you should look for times when price goes parabolic. This type of price action is unsustainable, so it's best to cash out some of these gains, before price drops again.
Remember to lock in your profits, so you can keep your money readily available to take the next trade.
Reinvesting your profits is a great strategy for investors who only want to make a very limited investment in cryptocurrencies. If you are skeptical that cryptocurrencies will actually survive, then only expanding your portfolio when you see results, is a great way to grow your initial investment.
You might miss out on great investments if you have to wait for your current portfolio to show you a profit. In addition, you are taking money away from currencies that are actually showing a profit.
The next investment may not be as good, so don't spread yourself too thin!

53 Wrestlers Are Suing the WWE for Decades of Brain Damage
Nothing fake about this, Mr. McMahon
By Michael Howard
This week, 53 wrestlers filed a class action lawsuit against World Wrestling Entertainment over brain damage suffered in the ring.
If you've so much as picked up a sports page in the last three years, you're probably aware of a condition called CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) that results from repeated trauma to the head — a variety of trauma that is near ubiquitous in contact sports. Symptoms include memory loss, dementia, aggression, depression and suicide.
As the 2015 movie Concussion documents, the NFL actively concealed the brain-wrecking disease for years in favor of corporate gain; one study found that over 90% of former NFL players had CTE.
Now it's professional wrestling's turn for an interrogation.
The plaintiffs claim the WWE:
1. Assigns "very specific [brain-traumatizing wrestling] moves that are scripted, controlled, directed and choreographed"
2. "Fraudulently misrepresent[s] and conceal[s] health hazards to wrestlers"
And 3. Offers "inconsistent and misleading positions about the nature of CTE and its relationship to head trauma in wrestling"
Wrestling's most famous CTE victim, Chris Benoit, murdered his wife and seven-year-old son before hanging himself in 2007. When that happened, many fans wondered if Mike Awesome's suicide by hanging from earlier that year was also the result of brain damage. Later, in 2009, Andrew "Test" Martin was found dead from an overdose.
But these deaths hardly chip the iceberg.
In fact, there's an entire website, deadwrestler.net, that documents the lengthy history of professional wrestling's fallen soldiers. While many of the deaths are attributable to heart failure and accidental overdose, it is entirely plausible that those afflictions could have resulted from self-medication aimed at coping with the repercussions of CTE.
Professional wrestling's status as a form of rehearsed entertainment — versus, y'know, an actual sport — has in the past exempted it from the same kind of rigorous health and medical regulations that other American sports leagues operate under (steroid use is a huge grey area, to use one example). Accordingly, the lawsuit represents a huge step toward not only raising awareness for head trauma, but also bringing greater transparency to the sport's wellness policies as a whole.
Godspeed, ye' mighty rope-climbing, head-locking, double-suplexing plaintiffs.

AAO 2021 reinvigorates ophthalmologists for 2022
Modern Retina Staff Reports
Conference | AAO
Dr. McDonnell highlights inspiring moments from the 2021 annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, along with a look ahead to next year's conference in Chicago.
Sheryl Stevenson: Absolutely. That's what's always been so fascinating about ophthalmology, is just the innovation and just looking at something a different way, taking an application that's been used elsewhere and giving a different spin or a different twist on it, using it in a different way. That's something that's always been very fascinating and interesting. Yeah. I guess another thing is just when you go to the academy and you come back, you feel so ... One, you're exhausted, right? But you're also re-energized, reinvigorated. You have so many different ideas and talking to colleagues and listening to all these different talks and presentations. You come back with just so many ideas charging through your head. That's something that I always find, so I just wonder how it is for ophthalmologists as well.
Peter J. McDonnell, MD: Well, that's true. We're very fortunate in ophthalmology, we're such a competitive field. This year, for my department for our 5 residency slots, we have 630 applications and they're all the brightest, smartest kids in their medical schools. It's amazing. And I think those of us who are ophthalmologists really enjoy our very intelligent and fun colleagues that we train with and work with and we all get together at least once a year hopefully, at the academy, to catch up and learn from each other. Exactly, as you said, there is the formal, I guess you'd say, didactic learning that occurs in the formal sessions and the poster sessions. But then there's the informal experiences we get from being able to talk about our ideas or what we're doing in our practices with our colleagues and see what they're doing in their practices that's working well.
One of the fun things I'll just mention, talking about inspiring this year, was a session the academy had on with its current president, Tamara Fountain, MD, and 4 other previous women presidents of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), and I think the increased prominence of women leaders at the academy has been a hallmark of the leadership of our CEO, David Parke II, MD, during his tenure at the ACademy and our current president, Fountain, is a graduate of my department so we, of course, know how brilliant she is but there's such a overall, such an impressive group of people and such an impressive group of leaders.
Forget women leaders, just leaders in general—they're just a great impressive group of people and I actually have had young people, women residents and medical students, who attended that session, tell me how inspiring it was to them to be able to hear from this group of women leaders of the Academy, and I think that really bodes well for our specialty. Our training programs now are about 50/50 male/female and I think seeing these great role models of women running the Academy is really a thing that's really going to inspire this young generation of ophthalmologists who become our future leaders.
Stevenson: That's great. And I guess the other thing about this meeting is, obviously, it's at the end of the year but you're heading into the next year. So as we head into 2022, it really sets the stage for just a lot of different innovations and new ... paving the way forward through ophthalmology as we head into the year and begin anew. It's always a refreshing change or fresh start.
McDonnell: Yeah, that's for sure and my friends who track the venture capital world tell me that ophthalmology right now is one of the most popular areas in which venture capital people are investing their dollars because of what they see as the potential to develop a lot of exciting breakthrough new therapies. It looks like the future is going to be even brighter in terms of innovation and excitement. So those of us who are closer to the ends of our careers in ophthalmology rather than to the beginnings of our careers are probably jealous of the exciting future that our young trainees are going to have with all this great interest in supporting our research and development in the eye care industry. And so, yeah, I think you're absolutely right, this next year when we're all together in Chicago, it's going to probably be more exciting and it will just continue year after year.
Stevenson: Yeah, I was just going to say that next year, it's in Chicago and (I'm) hoping the pandemic will be in a different place next year by this time, and we can have it all in-person for gatherings, so that'll be really awesome.
McDonnell: You're right, it'll be great. Chicago's, historically, been a great venue for Academy meetings. It's more a steak restaurant than the Cajun food of New Orleans, but also excellent lot of great choices for where to dine after the educational sessions and it's a fun city to tour. If you've never taken the architectural boat tour in Chicago, you have to do that. Already looking forward to next year and to the next Academy meeting in Chicago.
Stevenson: Well, thank you so much. It's been great to kind of visit with you again and talk about the recap of this year'sAmerican Academy of Ophthalmology in New Orleans ,and definitely look forward to seeing everybody again in Chicago next year.
McDonnell: Absolutely, and I know all your listeners are all going to be studying their upcoming issues about Ophthalmology Times® to read in more detail about lots of the exciting presentations and new technologies that were presented this year.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) annual meeting was held November 12 to 15 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The event included Subspecialty Days and a virtual component for remote participation.

See also Maxim Gorky on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
GORKI, MAXIM (1868- ), the pen-name of the Russian novelist Alexei Maximovich Pyeshkov, who was born at Nizhni-Novgorod on the 26th of March 1868. His father was a dyer, but he lost both his parents in childhood, and in his ninth year was sent to assist in a boot-shop. We find him afterwards in a variety of callings, but devouring books of all sorts greedily, whenever they fell into his hands. He ran away from the boot-shop and went to help a land-surveyor. He was then a cook on board a steamer and afterwards a gardener. In his fifteenth year he tried to enter a school at Kazan, but was obliged to betake himself again to his drudgery. He became a baker, than hawked about kvas, and helped the barefooted tramps and labourers at the docks. From these he drew some of his most striking pictures, and learned to give sketches of humble life generally with the fidelity of a Defoe. After a long course of drudgery he had the good fortune to obtain the place of secretary to a barrister at Nizhni-Novgorod. This was the turning-point of his fortunes, as he found a sympathetic master who helped him. He also became acquainted with the novelist Korolenko, who assisted him in his literary efforts. His first story was Makar Chudra, which was published in the journal Kavkaz. He contributed to many periodicals and finally attracted attention by his tale called Chelkash, which appeared in Russkoe Bogatsvo ("Russian wealth"). This was followed by a series of tales in which he drew with extraordinary vigour the life of the bosniaki, or tramps. He has sometimes described other classes of society, tradesmen and the educated classes, but not with equal success. There are some vigorous pictures, however, of the trading class in his Foma Gordeyev. But his favourite type is the rebel, the man in revolt against society, and him he describes from personal knowledge, and enlists our sympathies with him. We get such a type completely in Konovalov. Gorki is always preaching that we must have ideals—something better than everyday life, and this view is brought out in his play At the Lowest Depths, which had great success at Moscow, but was coldly received at St Petersburg.

The folks at Brouwerij Kees in The Netherlands seem to be taking a page from the Schell playbook in that I can find no mention of their Smoked Pecan Porter on their website just as I found no trace of Schell's highly palatable Prost Pack on their site. To the best of my knowledge Smoked Pecan Porter was released this fall so it's not like a deep dive into the archives is required.
This is my first Brouwerij Kees brew. Looking over their website it appears to be a very Americanized brewery with various varieties of eyepahs, plenty of Simcoe and Cascade hops, and the obligatory barrel aged beers. I dread to think what it must cost to have whiskey barrels sent over from England or the States. Or the hops, for that matter. No Simcoe wet hopping for them. Unless they've begun growing American hops over there. And now that I think about it, pecans are an American ingredient too.
Now you don't see pecans very often on a beer label. Indeed, this is only the second time that I've had such a brew, the first being Lazy Magnolia's palate pleasing Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale. While nuts seem like the perfect complement to malt, I suppose it is their price that keeps them from being utilized in brewing as often as I'd like.
Smoked Pecan Porter was a very deep copper color although a casual glance at my glass only revealed silky blackness. I don't know if it was poor wrist action on my part or who but I managed to pour the beer with no head. Sure, there was a smattering of tan bubbles but not really a head. No luscious tan foamy goodness. The beer was clear, however, and I caught a fair number of bubbles inside the reddish brown confines.
The beer's aroma took my by surprise. OK, not the roasted grain part but the stone fruit sweetness and the whiskey smell. It's only 6% yet my nose swore that it inhaled something that was not totally unlike whiskey. And there were both that malty flavor as well as that sharp, pungent burn. Despite just having used words to indicate a big, bold smell, the whiskey as well as the sweetness were fairly mild. I just wasn't expecting them in a porter. Sadly for me, the smoky scent was something more hinted at than actually realized.
Grainy flavors that ranged from lightly roasted to slightly more roasted stood out. For some reason I could discern no smoke. I wasn't expecting a whole lot judging by the aroma but I was rather anticipating some. There was a little nuttiness which went perfectly not only with the initial grainy tastes but also with the mild rye spiciness. Whiskey and fruity sweetness followed the roasty grains from the smell.
The smoke finally made an appearance on the finish, albeit a brief one, where it was joined by a pleasant bit of herbal hoppiness and (finally!) dark grainy bitterness. Not a bad ending by any stretch. Lacing was decent with a couple generous streaks and a few foamy spots.
The label here indicates that Simcoe and Cascade hops were used but I tasted neither tropical fruits nor pine. I'm not complaining but it's suspicious. Caramel malts must have been responsible for the sweetness I tasted. Honestly, though, I tasted more whiskey than I did dark grains which only came out at the end. And the smoke was so restrained that you'd think smoked malt was worth its weight in gold. I mean we're talking near homeopathic levels. On the other hand I really enjoyed the nutty taste and the rye too. But overall this beer just tasted old or somehow mistreated on its way over. It lacked not only the dark grainy presence I expect from a porter but also the vital spark of fresh beer. None of the flavors were sharp or sprightly; rather they tasted dull and worn.
Regardless of this beer, I wholeheartedly endorse smoked rye porters made with pecans. Or any nut, for that matter.
Junk food pairing: After pouring your Smoked Pecan Porter, cozy up to a bowl of BBQ potato chips or some Buffalo Blue Cheese Combos.
At some point around the middle of last month I continued hot and cold relationship after seeing a new brew at my local bottle shop – Bavarian Dunkel. Most new Leinenkugel brews seem to be yet another iteration in their neverending parade of shandies. Yet here was a nod to the German roots of the venerable Chippewa Falls brewery. Reading the label, however, engendered hesitation as it noted that the bier was "Brewed With Natural Fruit Juices". Was this the first step towards the shandification of the dunkel?
According to Chris Drosner, Bavarian Dunkel replaces Snowdrift Vanilla Porter. This was a positive development to my mind as I found that beer to be syrupy dreck. Still, fruit juice in a dunkel?
It's not so much that I have a preternatural disposition against such a pairing as much as it is an anxiety over who it is introducing this novelty. This is Leinenkugel, after all, the brewery that has twisted and warped the poor shandy from being a simple, pleasant mix of ginger beer or lemonade and beer into the Boone's Farm of craft brewing. This experiment could be tasty or it could be Kool Aid.
Regardless of Leine's shandymania, the brewery is certainly no slouch and can whip up a fine brew. And so it's no surprise that, on appearance, at least, Bavarian Dunkel is shining example of bier. At casual glance, it is a stygian cupful, with a deep, deep copper color. I couldn't discern clarity but I am confident that is was clear as the style demands unless the fruit juices muddied the waters. The head was tan and creamy, lasting 30 seconds or so. Since light could barely penetrate the darkness, I couldn't tell what the bubble situation was like inside.
The aroma was full of dark chocolate and roasted grain like a good dark bier but the fruit juices – blackberry and elderberry as Mr. Drosner discovered – made themselves known. I thought of sour cherry. Mild grassy hops rounded things out.
I am guessing there weren't a whole lot of bubbles to be seen as the carbonation was restrained. However, this allowed bitter chocolate to step to the fore with roasty grain and faint coffee trailing. There was a slight fruity sweetness which tasted malty in addition to a moderate berry-like fruitiness. Elderberries are very tart and so I'd say this tasted more of blackberries. The hops linger in the background adding only a touch of bitterness which melded with the chocolate and, I'd bet, some elderberry tartness.
At the end the bier's choco-fruitiness was joined by some spicy hops which added a sprightly sheen of mint. There was no shortage of Schaumhaftvermoegen with thick streaks aplenty adorned with spots of foam all around.
With the first sip Bavarian Dark allayed my fears of it being an unearthly dunkel-shandy hybrid. It has a medium body with a nice creamy texture full of rich dark chocolate. The fruit juices are subtle and complement the dark grain flavors very well. Nothing overly sweet or cloying here. I wish more Wisconsin breweries steeped in the lager tradition would do something like this instead of abandoning it for pastures of tropical fruit eyepahs.
Junk food pairing: Being the new winter seasonal, Bavarian Dunkel will be around for a spell. Well, at least until next month when summer seasonals come out. You'll have some time, at least, to enjoy one with a bag of Jay's Barbeque potato chips. The BBQ dust has a smoky side that goes well with the dunkel side of Bavarian Dunkel but also a dash of sweetness to complement the berry juice. On the sweet side gingerbread cookies are everywhere these days and also pair well with it as they have a nice pungent earthiness to them that I like with the roasted grain flavors in the bier.
My last two reviews were from biers released in the spring and summer, respectively, so it's only proper that I now take on a more youthful brew from the autumn. Indeed, with the winter still a week and a half away, astronomically speaking, one could argue that this bier is yet in season. Available exclusively in Schell's fall sampler – its Prost Pack – I believe it arrived just as the autumn began.
It's not easy finding these sampler packs from our neighbors to the west. Schell doesn't exactly toot its own horn over them either. I can find neither hide nor hair about the Prost Pack at the brewery's website. This is perhaps understandable regarding their normal sampler pack which is simply a mix of year-round and seasonal biers. But the Prost Pack contains two biers not found elsewhere so why is Schell mum when it should be out there proudly attacking the hoppy tyranny of the eyepah?
Here in Madison I've had luck at Riley's Wines of the World but have been told that there's a lag time of of up to two months before a new Schell's product hits their shelves. Two months?! Then again, it's probably fair to say that Madison is not exactly in love with Schell and their German craft ethos as the rough beast I call home slouches towards Portlandia to be reborn as a pale reimagining of its lagery roots.
One of the new biers in the Prost Pack is Chimney Sweep with Cocoa Nibs. Chimney Sweep is what Schell calls an "extended seasonal" which means it's on store shelves a goodly part of the year. It is a rauch dunkel and a rather tasty one at that. Cocoa nibs are, I read here, bits of cocoa beans that have been fermented and then roasted in preparation to be transmogrified into chocolate. The admixture of roasty, earthy pyrazines and thizoles from the cocoa nibs and the smoky guaiacols and syringols sounded like a match made in heaven to me.
In the glass, the bier appeared ebony but held to the light I could see that it was a deep ruby-copper confluence. It was clear and I spied with my little eye a fair number of bubbles inside while up top was a small, creamy tan head that hung around about half a minute or thereabouts.
The aroma was heavenly with bitter chocolate and the base bier's rich smoke doing a delicate pas de deux. There was a lingering sweetness here too which is part and parcel of the non-cocoa nibbed Chimney Sweep.
Firm carbonation hit my tongue and was followed by the smoky goodness that I know and love. Dark chocolate was tucked in behind which not only added a nice earthy taste but it also added a touch of bitterness. The dunkel shone through with a nice, hearty roasted grain flavor with just a smidgen of coffee as well. As the bier warmed it took on the taste of stone fruit but never became overly sweet.
For the finale the smoke lingered while a grassy hoppiness stepped out from the shadows to add a little bitterness and some dryness too for a nice, crisp finish. There was a fair amount of Schaumhaftvermoegen which came in the form a webbing around much of my glass.
Opening this bottle I felt that it must surely be preordained that I'd love this bier and so it was. Those cocoa nibs didn't turn my beloved Chimney Sweep into some strange chocolate milkshake-like concoction. Instead they settled easily into a milieu of complementary flavors. The cocoa sat comfortably next to the smoke, roasted grain, and coffee of the rauch dunkel. Malt sweetness added a nice contrast. And I really enjoyed the hops on the finish which, on the one hand, added a contrasting dose of greenery yet also provided bitterness to join that of the cocoa nibs. While Chimney Sweep with Cocoa Nibs has a medium body with plenty of room for its variety of flavors, it also has that nice clean lager taste. It is a shame that such a tasty brew was sequestered away in a variety pack that was given precious little press.
Junk food pairing: Grab a bag of Pepperoni Pizza Cracker Combos to go with your Chimney Sweep with Cocoa Nibs. The faux pepperoni adds a spicy pork-like flavor and we all know you've gotta have pork to go with German biers.
While my previous review was of a bier getting a little long in the tooth, this one is of a brew that is definitely, well, younger. Cherry Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisse was released sometime this past summer though, if memory serves, I didn't find a 500ml can of it around Madison until the autumn.
It was brewed by Mikkeller, a Danish gypsy brewer. I think the can indicated where the bier was actually brewed but it's long gone and I didn't note it down. Mikkeller reminds me of Wisconsin's own MobCraft in that store shelves are always filled with a myriad of their brews but the selection is constantly changing. Don't like what you see at your local bottle shop? Just come back next week and you'll be confronted with a whole new collection of their brews. Does Mikkeller even have an annual beer?
My exposure to their libations is quite limited. I suppose this is a combination of most of their beers just not appealing to me and price. I saw a $25 bottle yesterday which is out of my price range except under certain circumstances. But the stuff does have to travel across the ocean and is presumably not brewed in mass quantities so it can't be cheap.
It seems odd to be writing about a Berliner Weisse as snow falls outside my window. I am quite behind in my reviews.
Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisse poured a gorgeous red hue with a purple tint. It was, as expected, rather cloudy. I managed to top my glass with a large, firm pink head that stuck around for quite a while. Also present was the customary surge of bubbles inside. Champagne of the North indeed. This was one pretty brew.
The lactobacillus gave a wonderful lemony scent which was accented by that of the cherries. Tucked in the aroma was also some grain/wheat.
On the first sip my tongue was treated to a healthy dose of fizz to start things off. This was followed by a large tart blast that was only mildly citrusy/lemony. The cherries brought up the rear and, as with the aroma, had to be content with aiding and abetting the sourness. Unlike a lot of Berliner Weisses I've had, I could taste the wheat. Not strong, mind you, but easily discernible amongst the other flavors.
The finish was really nice as some tartness and the cherry lingered until the next sip. There was no lack of Schaumhaftvermoegen as my glass was lined with foamy streaks and spots aplenty. It looked good going out just like it did coming in.
This was a very fine bier. The tartness was firm but not deadly although the carbonation was plentiful enough to boost the acidity towards Destihl levels but it never got that intense. The cherry added a tasty, if subtle, layer of flavor that contrasted nicely with the sour. It was light, fizzy, and refreshing and writing those words makes think of warmer days as yet more snow falls.
Junk food pairing: I prefer lighter accompaniment with my Berliner Weisse. Try a bowlful of Bugles. However, I can also see trying to capitalize on the cherry here and so it would not be out of place to have a Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisse in one hand and a Hostess Cherry Pie in the other.


Fish dried and salted for preservation. The fish is usually the Atlantic or Pacific cod, however, pollock and haddock are sometimes used. Preparation typically involves and initial step of soaking in water overnight or boiling to remove the excess salt.
This is called Morue in Haiti.
Salt fish and dumpling with some ackee is WICKED!

Egypt Psychiatrist – attempt to kiss, hug female patients
Egypt: Psychiatrist remanded for attempt to kiss, hug female patients as remedy
Several women filed complaints, accusing him of abusing them during treatment sessions
By Ramadan Al Sherbini
Cairo: Prosecutors in an Egyptian Delta city ordered a psychiatrist remanded over alleged physical and verbal abuses of female patients, legal sources said Sunday, amid a heightened crackdown in the country on sex assaults.
The psychiatrist, whose name was not disclosed, was arrested and interrogated after several women had filed legal complaints, accusing him of abusing them during treatment sessions inside his clinic in the city of Tanta.
The prosecutors ordered his remand for four days pending further questioning, the sources added.
Local media reported that the man had repeatedly attempted to kiss and hug the women during the sessions, claiming that his approach was part of an innovative remedy method.
He had allegedly asked them to give him their personal photos and attempted to convince them of involvement in immoral acts as part of treatment.
In investigations, the psychiatrist denied the accusations, claiming he is the victim of a systematic distortion campaign and blackmailing from rivals.
The case comes as Egyptian authorities are investigating another high-profile case related to an alleged gang rape of a girl inside a luxury hotel in Cairo more than six years ago.
In a separate case, a young Egyptian is set to stand a criminal trial on charges of sexually assaulting and blackmailing three underage girls. The defendant has recently been at the centre of online accusations of alleged mass sex assaults.

Q: How to create immutable and singleton class in Spring boot? I have a person model class that needs to be immutable and singleton. I need to autowire from my service class but getting an error.
So is there any way to create a singleton immutable class in spring boot? where i can set values in person (via autowire) and use the same in the entire application.
I have just started learning spring-boot. I searched on google and found the solution with Lombok but somehow it didn't work for me.
My person model :
    @Value
    @Builder
    @AllArgsConstructor(access = AccessLevel.PRIVATE)
    @Component
    public final class Person {
        private final String firstName;
        private final String lastName;
    }

//My service class
@Component
public class ArgumentReadingService {

    @Autowired
    Person person;

    public void readArguments() {

        person = Person.builder().firstName("Hello").build();

        System.out.println("name : "+person.getFirstName());

    }

A: This configuration class and that annotation will provide you always with that Person Bean
@Configuration
public class ServerConfig

    }

Now it will be available everywhere for autowiring.
As the comments note however, it seems strange to use a model class as a Singleton.

Look at this question for more clarity

Baylor Awarded Templeton Foundation Grant to Study Economics of Religion
Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion (ISR) has received a $378,862 grant from the John Templeton Foundation to fund ISR's Initiative on the Economics of Religion.
The grant will provide funds for four scholars to investigate the connection between religion and economic growth and the effects of government intervention in religious markets on the practice of religion.
Participating in the initiative will be Dr. Rodney Stark, University Professor of the Social Sciences and co-director of ISR; Dr. Charles M. North, associate professor of economics; Dr. Carl R. Gwin, associate professor of economics at Pepperdine University; and Dr. Byron R. Johnson, professor of sociology and co-director of ISR.
The economics of religion is a newly-developing field that is attracting the interest of scholars around the world, according to Johnson. "Possibly more than any other discipline, the field of economics has the most potential to advance our understanding of the significant role and value of religion in our past, present, and future," he said
The role of religion in economic performance has long been a topic addressed by sociologists and historians, and it has become an increasingly popular topic among economists. Recent economic research suggests that stronger religious beliefs within a country are associated with higher rates of economic growth. However, Johnson believes that to date researchers have not adequately explored the institutional mechanisms through which religion might impact growth, and very little of the existing work takes an empirical, statistical approach to the question.
"Given how much has been written on religion and economic growth, perhaps the most amazing thing is how little - and how poorly - it actually has been studied," Stark said.
The research generated under this grant will improve upon the current state of knowledge on economic growth and religion.
"Despite much of our world continuing to languish in poverty, researchers have not yet adequately studied how religious culture impacts economic outcomes," North said. "The results of our studies will inform policy-makers and allow them to address economic policy in a way that accounts for the effects of religious beliefs and practices around the world."
The grant also will fund workshops that will be held jointly between the Baylor faculty members and faculty at George Mason University, including noted economics-of-religion scholar Laurence R. Iannaccone. These workshops will be designed to spread awareness among scholars, the news media and the general public of the findings of these studies and others within the field of economics of religion.
Additionally, the grant will fund a new survey to be conducted regarding the religious, educational, and financial practices of Americans. This survey "will allow us to understand how individual religious beliefs affect decisions on savings, investment, home ownership and more," Gwin said. "In turn, this knowledge will help us explain how interactions between religion, education, and financial practices affect the overall performance of the economy."
The research initiative is composed of five parts. The first three directly explore the link between religious beliefs and some of the important practices and institutions known to promote economic growth and development.
� Part One focuses on how a country's religious tradition and culture influence the rule of law and reduce corruption, both of which are known to improve economic growth.
� Part Two examines the network effects of spiritual, human and financial capital in fostering economic growth through the new survey data.
� Part Three will explore the historical role of religion in focusing economic actors on growth-enhancing cooperative equilibria.
� Parts Four and Five build on prior work by Stark, North and Gwin to explore how state intervention in religious markets affects the level of religious involvement in modern times as well as ancient.
The knowledge gained from these studies will provide further insight into the best ways in which government can strengthen an economy via the religious market.
"This project will put Baylor economics on the national map and provide a vehicle for professors Gwin and North to be national leaders in the long overdue study of religion and economics," said Johnson.
The John Templeton Foundation offers support for innovative research, teaching and public outreach programs illuminating how the free enterprise system of wealth creation offers practical solutions to poor people around the world. The Foundation supports research about the effectiveness of programs that recreate and promote enterprise-based solutions to poverty, such as fostering new entrepreneurs whose endeavors result in the creation of goods, products and services. While the Foundation's activities in this area are new, the aim is to expand philanthropic activity in this area.

No single document, of course, can solve the riddle of Douglass's complex political ideas.

(Most of Douglass's journalistic writing remains unpublished, though a forthcoming volume in the Frederick Douglass Papers should help address that problem.) Nor have they been excerpted, quoted, or discussed at length in the extensive scholarship on Douglass.

A Book So Far Ahead of Its Time, It Took 87 Years to Find a Publisher (New York Times)
More may be coming. Cloutier stumbled on the forgotten manuscript of "Amiable With Big Teeth" while studying at Columbia in 2009. The two manuscripts of "Romance in Marseille," held by Harlem's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and Yale's Beinecke Library — the Penguin Classics edition is based on the later Schomburg manuscript — have long been known to scholars, but copyright conflicts and a lack of market interest prevented the book's publication. As archival research accelerates and 1920s-era writing is freed from copyright restrictions — this year, works from 1924 came into the public domain — it's likely that more rediscovered works are on the way. Cloutier recently worked with the Beinecke to locate an uncataloged collection of manuscripts by Petry.

Gunther Gerzso (né le  à Mexico - décédé le  à Mexico) est un artiste-peintre mexicain de style surréaliste. Il fut également directeur artistique et scénographe prolifique pour le théâtre et le cinéma.

Biographie

Enfance
Gunther Gerzso est né à Mexico d'Oscar Gunther, horloger de Budapest, et de Dore Wendland, chanteuse et pianiste de Berlin. Son père meurt alors qu'il n'a que 6 mois. Sa mère se remarie à un autre expatrié, un allemand propriétaire d'une bijouterie populaire qu'il perd pendant la révolution mexicaine. En 1922, la famille déménage en Europe puis retourne au Mexique en 1924. Après avoir divorcé de son second mari, Dore décide de confier Gunther à son oncle, Hans Wendland, historien et marchand d'art influent qui vit à Lugano en Suisse.

Gunther Gerzso se familiarise à l'art de Rembrandt, Cézanne et Titien, et se souvient même d'avoir possédé des peintures de Bonnard et Delacroix dans sa chambre. Parmi les invités importants de Wendland, Nando Tamberlani, scénographe italien, se prend d'amitié avec Gerzso lors d'un séjour.

En conséquence de l'impact de la Grande Dépression en Europe, Wendland vend sa collection d'art et Gerzso retourne vivre à Mexico avec sa mère et sa sœur. Il s'inscrit dans une école allemande. Après trois ans passés à dessiner des décors et écrire des pièces de théâtre, il obtient son diplôme, à 19 ans, et commence à travailler aux décors d'un théâtre local.

Carrière
Un an plus tard, on lui offre un poste au Cleveland Play House, où il intègre rapidement l'équipe des décorateurs. Dans les quatre années suivantes, il crée des décors pour environ cinq douzaines de productions. Un certain nombre de ces réalisations sont présentées pour la première fois publiquement lors d'une exposition « Gunther Gerzso: Defining Mexican Abstractionism ». L'exposition inclut des peintures de Gerzso, qu'il réalisait dans le même temps qu'il travaillait au théâtre. Il reproduisait ses sujets de prédilection qu'il rencontrait dans la vie quotidienne, notamment des jeunes femmes attractives. Son style initial reflète l'influence d'artistes européens, tels que Matisse et Picasso, mais aussi mexicains, comme Diego Rivera ou José Clemente Orozco.

Encouragé par ses amis, il se présente à un concours d'art du Cleveland Museum of Art, où deux de ses toiles sont retenues pour une exposition. Il décide alors de se consacrer à la peinture. Dans sa période 39-40, il explore ses racines mexicaines, tout en rationalisant scientifiquement la beauté de ses compositions grâce à l'usage du nombre d'or dans leurs proportions.

En 1941, Gerzso et sa femme (Rilla Gene Cady) s'installent à Mexico. L'artiste réalise des décors pour le théâtre et pour environ 250 films, mais se considère avant tout comme un peintre. Il s'associe dans les années 1940 à un groupe de surréalistes européens basé à Mexico : Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, Benjamin Péret, Alice Rahón, et Wolfgang Paalen. Leur influence, associée à ses idées pacifistes, se ressent dans ses œuvres de cette période.

En 1953, il voyage en Italie et à son retour commence un style de peinture proche de l'abstraction, qu'il n'abandonnera plus. En 1962 il cesse son travail pour le cinéma et commence une étape picturale influencée par l'art précolombien.

Portrait of Suzanne Bloch is an oil on canvas painting executed by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso in Paris in 1904, towards the end of his Blue Period. The subject, Suzanne Bloch, was a singer known for her Wagner interpretations, and the sister of the violinist Henri Bloch. The painting is housed in the São Paulo Museum of Art.

Background
A luminary in the Parisian sets frequented by Picasso at the beginning of the 20th century, Suzanne Bloch was a Wagnerian singer and the sister of the violinist Henri Bloch. She was introduced to the Spanish artist by the French poet Max Jacob, in 1904, and she sat for a portrait by Picasso in his Bateau-Lavoir studio at 13 rue Ravignan in Paris, between the late spring and early summer of that year. A pen and ink sketch heightened with gouache, and signed and dated by Picasso, preceded the oil painting; it is now conserved at the Neubury Coray collection, in Ascona, Switzerland.

Description
The portrait in oils has been described by Luiz Marques, professor of art history at Unicamp, as exemplary of "the blue period, to which it fully belongs." It has been called the last important work of the blue period, although Palau i Fabre says that it is "difficult to date and determine the stage of transition from one period to the other—which in any case was not a sudden shift but a gently nuanced, though intermittent, progress". In a similar vein, Denys Chevalier has written: "Any attempt... to date the blue period too precisely can only lead to errors".

The painting, fully imbued with a somber, melancholy aura, is rendered in monochromatic shades, varying from blue to blue-green, with the sporadic presence of warmer tones. Nevertheless, it is possible to notice that the painting already announces some characteristics of a future transition in the Spanish painter's pictorial style, foreshadowing Cubism. In the words of Camesasca, quoted by Marques: "[…] this portrait is marked by the emergence of a reflection about the plastic-chromatic structure of Cézanne's works, in the scope of a 'post-impressionism, already absorbed in the problems which will make the art explode."

Provenance
The painting belonged to Suzanne Bloch, and was sold by her heirs after her death. The Thannhauser Gallery, Munich, sold the painting  to Sally Falk, Mannheim, but his collection was already dispersed in 1919, under the supervision of the Paul Cassirer Gallery, Berlin, and Picasso's Lady without hat, blue portrait was acquired by Mechthild Princess Lichnowsky, who kept it at her private collection in London. From the English capital, the painting went to Lugano, in Switzerland, where it was held in the private collection of the Biber family. The painting remained on deposit at the National Gallery of Art, in Washington between 1942 and 1946. In the following year, it was acquired by the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), with financial resources donated by Walter Moreira Salles, founder of Unibanco.

Theft
On 20 December 2007, the painting was stolen from the São Paulo Museum of Art. Around five o'clock in the morning, three men invaded the museum and took away Picasso's Portrait of Suzanne Bloch and Portinari's O lavrador de café from the museum collection. The whole action took about three minutes. The estimated value of the works was US$55 million, with the portrait alone valued at US$50 million.

The paintings, which are listed as Brazilian National Heritage by IPHAN, remained missing until 8 January 2008, when they were recovered in Ferraz de Vasconcelos by the Police of São Paulo. The paintings were returned, undamaged, to the São Paulo Museum of Art.

Exhibitions
The painting was exhibited at the Thannhauser Gallery in Berlin (1913); at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires (1939); at the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco (1940); at the famous exhibition From Cézanne to Picasso, in Los Angeles (1941); at the exhibition A Nova Pintura Francesa, in Rio de Janeiro (1949); at the Museu Picasso in Barcelona and at the Kunstmuseum in Berne, both in 1992; and at the Picasso retrospective, at the Musée Picasso, in Paris, carried out in 1994.
