すでにホストでゲストとの英語のコミュニケーションに困っているあなた、これから利用を考えているあなたに、役立つ英語のフレーズをお教えしたいと思います♪ スーパーホスト( Airbnbの5つ星ホテル的存在)の友人に聞いた実際に利用者と交わした会話が情報源なので、リアルに役立つと思いますよ!Let's 英会話 NOW with Airbnb.
Guest: Hello, is the place available from OO to OO (March 1st - 10th)?
Host B: No, the place is unavailable during that time. I hope you can stay here the next time.
Guest: What time can we check-in?
Host A: You can check in anytime after 14:00.
Host B: Regular check-in is at 15:00, but if I don't have a guest checking out on that day you can check in as early as 10:00 in the morning.
Guest: Can we check-in late at night?
Host: Yes, you can check-in late. What time will you arrive?
Guest: Will you be at the place when I arrive?
Host A: Yes, I will wait for you until you arrive so that I can show you around.
Host B: No, I will leave a key for you downstairs in a lockbox. I will send you instructions on how to access the key.
Guest: Can I get a discount?
Host A: No, the prices are fixed.
Host B: Yes, I will waive the cleaning fee for you as long as you keep the place relatively clean during your stay.
Host C: Yes, if you book today I will give you 100 USD off of your stay.
Guest: Does the place have beds for 3 People?
Host A: Yes, the room has 3 separate beds.
Guest: Can you send me the address before I reserve the place so I can see it on the Map?
Host B: I am sorry, for security and safely reasons Airbnb do not allow us share the address until the reservation has been confirmed. Thank you for understanding.
Guest: Why does the total fee cost more than it says on the apartment listing?
Host: Rate vary depending on the season. The total amount should be reflected correctly as Airbnb report.
Guest: Can I extend the stay after we get there?
Host: Yes, you can extend the stay as long as no other guests have booked the place during that time. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that it will be available when you book it.
Guest: Can you hold the reservation for me?

Host: The guests were clean and very polite. They left the place in great condition. I highly recommend them as guests and hope they stay at the place again on their next visit in Tokyo.

REVIEW | Nope (2022) & The Mind of Jordan Peele/
REVIEW | Nope (2022) & The Mind of Jordan Peele
Contains Mild Spoilers
Allie Lembo
Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, and Brandon Perea in a still from Nope (2022)
Author's Note: I saw Nope in a movie theater, after only having seen the original teaser trailer. The most recent trailer gives away too much and should be avoided.
While filming Nope, writer/director Jordan Peele revealed that his most-used word on set was spectacle, and a spectacle it is. Nope earns its R-Rating for a disturbing set of visuals, but this horror comedy has its roots in sweeping westerns and awe-inspiring science fiction.
Nope opened with chart-busting, in-person ticket sales - $44 Million - for its first weekend in theaters, cementing Peele as a modern-day legend, even if he shies away from those types of labels himself.
Although most horror movies reflect contemporary societal anxieties, Peele's work is particularly rife with socio-economic commentary.
Get Out took on race in white communities, Us echoed the horrors of the prison system, and Nope takes on the industry of spectacle: Hollywood. Peele includes footage from the very first film ever made, Eadweard Muybridge's The Horse In Motion (1878). In Peele's fictionalized backstory, the cinematographer is identified, the horse is identified, but the Black rider is only known to the protagonists; Haywood siblings, OJ (Daniel Kaluuya), and Em (Keke Palmer) know him as their great-great-great grandfather.
The movie begins with audio from a fictional family sitcom and the first half of the film's horror centers around a cloud. Jordan Peele draws from a rich canon of influential filmmakers as well as his history as a Black entertainer in Hollywood and combines offbeat references and images into a UFO (or UAP) film that somehow all fits together.
Days later, and I'm still peeling back layers . . .
Audiences were confounded by the film's fixation on an upright blue shoe that first appears in the opening scene. It wasn't until I went searching and found a Reddit explanation that I understood it's a visual metaphor. The keeper of the shoe learned the wrong lesson from a childhood incident. So all his life, he's been waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It's such a delicious puzzle - with metaphors upon metaphors, and characters who live such lies they actually believe them - it demands a second viewing. And perhaps a little outside digging. Turns out, the word Nope is not only uttered by the characters but is also a lesser known term for extraterrestrials - Not of Planet Earth.
With repeated viewings, the movie continues to reveal itself just like its creature. However, the pace lags in the second and third act, which can make numerous watches a tad frustrating. Thankfully, the actors do such sensational work, it's a joy to spend time with these characters, cheering the main team on to get the recognition the Haywoods' great-great-great grandfather deserved all those years ago.
Spectacles entertain, and Peele does just that. Nope has one of the most captivating opening scenes in film history and one of the most satisfying final tableaus.
The mind of Jordan Peele continues to be one of the most astonishing imaginations in Hollywood.

One Nail To Rule Them All: Back to normality!
So now the challenge is over we can return to normality, although having written all these posts in advance for my 2 week holiday I wouldn't exact call it normal. I'm not one of those bloggers who has a large selection of things still to post, I do my nails and I post them, simple. So it's been pretty stressful to try and get some extra posts sorted for whilst I'm away, but I hope you'll enjoy them.
Today's post came to me accidentally, I was just messing around and this is what I came up with. I actually really like it though I think it would have been even better outlined in black, maybe I'll try it again when I get back from my holiday.
I used Barry M - Blueberry and Matt White + acrylic paints, using a dotting tool for the hearts and a small thin paintbrush for the details. Hope you like them!
I'm a new follower & I'm so glad I found your blog, you have so many cute ideas!
I absolutely love this design it is so pretty!!

Known as the gateway to Southern California, Ontario is just 35 miles to the north east of Los Angeles and is close to all of the city's attractions. A major hub in the local area for travelers and for freight, Ontario is a busy and thriving city with great connections to all of the surrounding areas.
Once hunting grounds for a native American tribe, modern Ontario began life as a Model Colony, designed to balance agriculture with all of the conveniences of contemporary towns. Today, this dynamic city is home to over 170,000 inhabitants, and it has ample cultural and sporting facilities. In fact, Ontario is home to the USA's second largest quilting show which sees 40,000 visitors every year. The city is also known for its annual Pancake Breakfast and Car Show which takes place every June. Famous people connected with the city include musician Frank Zappa, novelist Tamara Thorne and Olympic swimmer Douglas Northway.
Cert-A-Roof offers roof inspection and roof certification in a 10 mile radius around Ontario, including the cities of Upland, Montclair, Chino, Rancho Cucamonga, Claremont, Pomona, and La Verne.
Both asphalt and tiles are commonly found on roofs in Ontario, and both are good choices because of their longevity and robustness. However without regular annual maintenance, damage to these materials can easily go unnoticed, resulting in long-term damage to the roofing felt and associated problems like leaks. Although these roof types are extremely durable, the roof needs to be inspected at a minimum of every 2 years because the material can crack, break, or slip from its proper position. Other conditions that can affect your roof in Ontario are the Santa Ana winds (high winds of 40 miles per hour), deteriorated felt from the sun's strong rays if there is broken or cracked tile, debris in valleys and El Nino storms.
Ontario enjoys a wonderful climate year round with average temperatures, even in the winter months, being around 65°F. Rainfall is low all year round, with only around 15 inches per year, and snow is extremely unlikely.
The current estimated population of Ontario is around 170,000 people, with over half of all households having at least one child under 18. The median population age is 29 years with the majority of the city's residents being aged under 44.
The city has 47,449 housing units with more than half of these being owner occupied. An average home in Ontario costs around $225,000, while those who are renting pay approximately $1,248 every month to their landlords. Some of the most popular areas in Ontario include Ballou, Euclid and and the area around D Street.
We also offer LeakFREE® roof certification so you can feel confident in the repairs and services provided. Let Cert-A-Roof be your trusted Ontario roofer. Our roofing technicians are certified and able to provide you with professional repairs and services that you need to keep your structure safe and protected from the harsh California weather and elements.
If you have noticed an issue with your roof, never delay but take action straight away. Call the Cert-A-Roof team in Ontario and you can be sure that you will receive prompt and professional service. We will perform any repairs in a timely manner to prevent a problem getting out of hand.
Although there are plenty of roofing companies to choose from in Ontario, the Cert-A-Roof team is fully licensed and insured, so you can rely on our superior repairs and service, whatever your roofing needs be. We have already received over 50 five star reviews on Yelp, and we have conducted over 50,000 roof inspections for satisfied customers. Whenever your roof needs inspection, maintenance or servicing, call Cert-A-Roof and we will provide prompt repairs at an affordable rate.


Time and time again we have learned that sometimes the offer of a listening ear can be the first step to overcoming a crisis situation. Couple this supportive attitude with qualified advice, and staff experienced with working alongside other organisations and we can turn a simple conversation into an individual support plan to suit that particular young person's needs, goals and hopes for the future.
Henley YMCA operates an open door policy where residents are welcome to come for an informal chat with staff about any concerns or issues they may have.
Residents are able to seek advice and guidance from YMCA staff concerning a variety of issues and day to day problems.
Assistance is available specifically for benefit and council tax queries and referral to other agencies where needed. In addition, advice and guidance is given with CV writing and job applications.
If Henley YMCA staff can not solve your problem they will sign post you to someone who can.

Wizz Air to start operations during second half of this year
Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company is partnering Wizz Air Holdings, the European airline, to establish Wizz Air Abu Dhabi. The low-cost airline is set to launch its operations at Abu Dhabi International Airport in the second-half of this year.
This is the second low-cost airline to be announced in Abu Dhabi – Etihad had earlier announced such a venture with Air Arabia.
"Tourism is a high priority in Abu Dhabi's growth strategy," said Mohamed Hassan Al Suwaidi, CEO of ADDH. "Significant investment is going not only into our airports but also the tourist infrastructure, including hotels, resorts and cultural attractions.
"Last year, the emirate achieved a record high of 11.35 million visitors and a key driver for this is the connectivity that enables people to visit Abu Dhabi easily and affordably."
Following the agreement, the airline development team has initiated the process with the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority to obtain the carrier's air operator certificate and operating license.
The airline will focus on establishing routes to markets in which Wizz Air has existing, namely central, eastern and western Europe.
According to József Váradi, CEO of Wizz Air Holdings, "The joint venture agreement underpins our long-term dedication to bringing an economically and operationally highly efficient as well as environmentally most sustainable airline business model to boost Abu Dhabi's aviation development. Wizz Air's mission feeds into Abu Dhabi's diversified economic strategy as we aim to stimulate traffic by creating demand to the benefit of growing Abu Dhabi's touristic and economic diversity."


Wow. It's actually happening. I mean, we've been talking about the production of a live action Transformers movie for years now, and even though intellectually I knew it was coming, and that it was really being made… somehow it never seemed real.
Well now we have some sort of tangible proof. The first teaser poster for Transformers has been released to AICN, and it's pretty freakin cool. I've got a smaller version posted to your right, but this is AICN's exclusive, so if you want to see it bigger, you'll have to click over there.
Before posting this sucker I took a minute to drift over to a couple of different Transformers fan sites to gauge their reaction. Predictably, they've found something to whine about. They're actually complaining about the color of the eye. "Megatron's optics should be red!" was the first whine I encountered. Let's hope Michael Bay and his producing team ignore the idiots like that, and simply focus on making a good movie, true to the spirit of the cartoon and not mired in details. I think this poster is an indicator that they're on the right track.
Supposedly there will be a series of individual, transformer character posters further down the line. For now this is just a teaser. Drink it in, and then click over to the movie's newly active official site here for even more coolness involving the design of the first Transformers teaser poster.

The People's Vision for Chinatown was developed by Chinatown Action Group and Chinatown Concern Group through two years of outreach with Chinatown residents, businesses, and community members. We spoke with residents who have lived in the neighbourhood for years, workers who come from as far as Prince George, and community members who take the bus to visit and run errands in Chinatown as often as every day. Through our outreach, we found that Chinatown remains the centre of a predominantly working-class Chinese community that extends across Vancouver and even the province.
The People's Vision for Chinatown reflects all of these perspectives, but especially the perspectives of residents of Chinatown and nearby neighbourhoods. As the area becomes more desirable and property values increase, Chinatown residents – those who live within the boundaries of Chinatown as defined by the City of Vancouver – are the part of the community that is most likely to be displaced. Compared to the city and regional population, Chinatown residents are disproportionately likely to be poor, immigrant, senior, to speak a primary language that is not English, or to have not completed secondary school. This is also true for residents of nearby neighbourhoods, such as Oppenheimer and Strathcona, many of whom identify themselves as Chinatown community members and rely on Chinatown services and businesses for their everyday needs.

Miss Maggie Rabbit (made by me) hanging out in my fabric cabinet.
I have a lot of fabric and sewing patterns. Like, A LOT.
This post is all about how I organise my many sewing patterns as well as my fabric stash. So for those of you who are a little OCD, grab that bag of m&m's, sort the colours into different bowls (feels good doesn't it?!) and sit back and enjoy.
My sewing patterns used to sit in boxes where they ended up getting bent or torn or somehow mixed with another pattern.
I tried putting some in zip lock bags for a while, but it just added bulk and made it difficult to store.
Protect them from damage or ageing.
I went searching the web for some solutions and came across the super informative blog post by Lladybird who used comic book storage for her patterns. I knew I had found the solution!!
With four people living in a two bedroom house, space is scarce!
Comic Book Storage for the WIN!
If there is another group of people out there more meticulous than seamstresses about preserving original quality, it's comic-book collectors!
Protected from dirt, dust and grotty hands.
Holds patterns and instructions in place so they can't tear or get bent.
Protects precious vintage patterns and enables you to handle them without damaging them.
Uniforms the size of your patterns for easy storage and cataloguing.
It just makes them look so darn good!
Place one board in a resealable bag.
Lastly I stored them in comic-book boxes for protection and easy storage.
I found the easiest way to organise the patterns was by TYPE such as dresses, skirts, pants etc.
I then arranged them by PATTERN NUMBER, regardless of the brand. Only about 1% of my patterns didn't have a pattern number.
There are heaps of online sites that sell these (there are a lot of comic-book collectors out there!!) And I bought most of mine off eBay.
Smaller patterns such as Butterick, Simplicity, McCall.
Storage Boards (modern size) - Size 6 3/4" x 10 1/2"
Large or bulky patterns such as Victory Patterns, Designer Vogue Patterns, Sewing Magazines, and print-at-home PDF patterns.
Storage Boards (magazine size) - Size 8 1/2" x 11"
A printed PDF pattern in a large size bag. I wrote the details of the pattern on the front of the card and put the printed pieces at the back.
I wanted to take my pattern organisation to the next level, and after reading Colette Patterns post about organising their patterns, I downloaded an iphone app (the same one they used) called 'Tap Forms' which is a data based app made for apple.
I'm sure there are other/better apps out there so let me know in the comments if you know any!
Makes cataloguing and searching for patterns you own, easy.
Enables you to search through your patterns via the categories you've created, such as pattern company, decade, style etc.
Eliminates the need to handle your physical pattern when looking for pattern details such as fabric requirements.
A photo of both the front and back of the pattern - this is great when you're at the fabric store and you need to know how much fabric and notions you need for your pattern.
Decade - I love being able to search for a particular vintage when flicking through my patterns.
Garment Type - eg. Dress, skirt, pants.
Box Location - I have numbered my storage boxes and categorised by garment type and then in order of number, but this is a nice shortcut way of working out what box I've stored the pattern in without having to read the labels on the box.
Blog Review Link - If I have already used this pattern and blogged about it, a link to my blog post is a nice way to quickly access details on my previous make.
Note - For anything extra I want to put in, for example 'missing the sleeve piece'.
I recently sorted through my fabric, keeping only what I truely loved and got joy out of looking at. The rest I gave away to charity.
My fabric used to be folded and piled in a dark, lonely cupboard. No matter how neat I tried to keep it, it always looked messy, and you could never see the entirety of what I had.
I keep it stored in a glass cabinet called 'fabrikor' (perfect name much?) which I purchased from Ikea. It stands proudly in our lounge room for all to see. I love how my stash has gone from being a pile of shame in the linen cupboard, to an art feature that I constantly get enjoyment out of whenever I sit in the lounge.
Fold your fabric in half, selvage to selvage and then again into thirds.
Starting at one end of the folded length of the fabric, roll it around one large comic-book card paper.
If needed, use one pin to keep fabric in place.
Place your board at one end of the fabric with a small amount wrapped around the edge.
Wrap the fabric around the board.
I have also recently started cataloguing my fabric collection in the same app I use to catalogue my patterns. It's a great way to see what you own and how much of it you have. Also helps you to store certain information like fabric type, designer and where you purchased it which can easily be forgotten otherwise!
On a side note, meet my two little friends Mr. Basil Fox and Miss Maggie Rabbit!
Both were lovingly handmade by me using patterns from Alicia Paulson. Sometimes they like to sit in the fabric cabinet and feed off its joyful energy.
Both of the softies and all of their clothes were hand-sewn or knitted, except for Mr. Basil Fox's jeans, and Miss Maggie Rabbit's dress, which were machine stitched.
There is no doubt that this process takes time. You need to block off a few solid days and it can be tedious work, but once it's done it makes life so much easier. AND it's so easy to maintain.
Cataloguing a zillion patterns might be hard, but once they're done it only ever takes one minute to catalogue and store a new pattern as it comes into your possession. And speaking from my own experience the joy that I get from seeing all my patterns and fabric neatly organised and accounted for is profound.
There are plenty of fantastic different ways to organise fabric and patterns and this is just one of them, so go with what works for you.
Got any other great ways to sort and store fabric and sewing patterns? Or tried another app? I'd love to hear them!
Thanks for sharing, I love that you've taken organization above the usual height by going electronically. Have a great day!
OO! Thanks Dalia; I'll check that app out!! You can never have too many sewing apps :) All the best with your 'new mum' time. I still remember the chaos of those early days; both crazy and rewarding! :) Thanks so much for you comment!
Wow, I'm so impressed! Such wonderful storage inspiration. I just love how your fabric looks in the glass fronted cabinet and I didn't even know about comic book storage so thanks for that.
I'm looking on Ebay now, but I'm not sure how many boxes to get. How many patterns fit in a box please?
Hi Necoh! Because sewing patterns are bulkier than comic books I find they fit around 75 patterns, give or take. This is about half the amount of comic books they can allegedly fit in the boxes.
Yes, perfect! Thanks so much!
I also use the comic book storage system for my physical patterns, it's great!
Megan, I just checked out your website and the app looks amazing! You have to email me when you've got it working for iPhones so I can try it out!
I, too, starting using comic book supplies to store my patterns, after reading about it on Collette's blog. I keep track of them with My Pattern Stash on Pattern Review. As it is online, I can access it from my home computer or my smart phone. It organizes patterns by type, includes a space for fabric requirements, has a link to all of the pattern specs, and a link to reviews.
Hey kids, do yourself and your town a solid favor and buy the bags/cards and the boxes from your local comic book shop. Make sure you tell them what you use them for as well. Shop local and freak em out, all at the same time! Besides, the more we get together, the better we are.
I have been doing this for several years. The standard size comic book board works perfect for fabric folded in half lengthwise and folded up. I secure mine with a large paperclip along with a small piece of paper with the yardage amount. If I cut some off, I write the new measurement of what is left on the paper. The paperclips mean no pin pricks when you are looking thru your fabric.
I really enjoyed this post. I was similarly inspired by Lladybird's post, but still haven't done anything about it. But maybe now seeing yours I'll do something about my own pattern stash!
I have found a great app for logging my fabric stash. It's a new one, developed by a sewista. I have found it to be very user-friendly and she is very open to comments and suggestions from people trying it out. Is is called Cora. Highly recommend it.


FOR the second time in as many weeks, reigning champion Eaglehawk finds itself in the Bendigo Amateur Soccer League men's division one match of the round. The Hawks emerged with a draw in last weekend's season opener against Shepparton United and now face another stern test against last year's third-placed team Shepparton South. But the 1-1 result against United came at a cost for the Hawks, who lost star midfielder Alex Caldow to a season-ending ACL injury. Coach Greg Thomas, who missed the game due to a suspension incurred in last year's grand final at Shepparton, was full of praise for his players' efforts to force a draw in light of the injury and other absences.

"Hurry, Hurry"
Mary McCarthy wasn't the only Vassar girl from the graduating classes of the early 1930s who got involved with Partisan Review. You may recall that Philip Rahv married Nathalie Swan — Some said that Rahv married Swan on the rebound from McCarthy, when she left him for Edmund Wilson. Swan was one of the literary crowd on the Vassar campus, and became an architect, having spent time studying at the Bauhaus. Later she (or some aspects of her) appeared in the sophisticated lesbian, Lakey, at the end of The Group, returning to New York from her Europeanisation. Elizabeth Bishop, another Vassar girl involved in the literary coterie that included McCarthy, was published by Partisan Review, and the story "Hurry, Hurry," that follows Morris's "Art Chronicle" on Arp, was written by a witty Vassar Left Intellectual and writer, Eleanor Clark. When McCarthy became part of the posh-girl group that lived in the South Tower on the Vassar Campus, she was also becoming involved with the Clark sisters.
Eleanor and her sister,Eunice, were active in politics at Vassar, before McCarthy had found herself a leftist Trotskyist, and just about the time that McCarthy first knew of Trotsky, Eleanor had gone with Trotsky's entourage into exile in Mexico in 1937 when he was expelled from Norway in 1936. after the first set of the Moscow show trials. She married Jan Frankel,Trotsky's secretary, to help confirm his immigration status.
Jan Frankel, at right of photo
The girls had worked together on a 'rebel' College magazine, 'Con Spirito,' suggesting both their brio and their clandestine atmospheric. In The Group, Norine, who may have been modelled on the Clark sisters, says of McCarthy's South Tower crowd: "You people were the aesthetes. We were the politicals. Your crowd was sterile. But God, I used to envy you. Poise, Social Savy. Looks. We called you the Ivory Tower Group. Aloof from the battle." That at least is what McCarthy figured (or hoped) the Clarks might have thought of her.
But years later, Eleanor Clark told the biographer Frances Kieran: "I didn't like Mary. I never liked her. My sister Eunice knew her a lot better, and for her pains and I must say in some cases extraordinary generosity, she got kicked in the teeth. In The Group she got pilloried along with everyone else.
I don't know when Eleanor Clark wrote the story, "Hurry, Hurry." But it is a marvellous combination of the absurd and the surreal, written with the wit and metropolitan confidence characteristic of a Dorothy Parker story in The New Yorker.
Eleanor Laughing
At the same time, it is a fable of the hollowness of bourgeois society — its cultural conformity, pomposity, self importance, and the voice is that of one of the younger generation. It is a girl's voice that is both satirical and embarrassed by her complicity in the world of her mother.
The narrative is a sang-froid description of 'a beautiful June day' — the day the narrator's mother's house falls down. Thrust immediately into the fact of the fallen house, we learn that the household dog, a French poodle named 'de Maupassant,' hadn't noticed anything in advance. The mother adores the dog — "She loved the aristocracy of him, the way he tossed his luxurious black mane…." But the mother had spoiled the poodle: "In the end he was incapable of serious thought and must have played or slept through the entire catastrophe." The falling down house is ignored by the narrator herself. "I was not interested. Instead, "I spent the entire time — two or three hours it must have been — under a maple tree, and rescued nothing but one silver-backed hand mirror. As the building falls in this slow motion ruination, neighbours gather on the lawn now strewn with the contents of the house,drink cocktails and offer comments and useless advice.
In one area, "beams could be heard falling, and already a wide crack was beginning to open diagonally across the front of the living-room wall, exposing the dust-covered leaves of books, first the historical works and later the vellum-bound editions of Dante, Baudelaire and Racine. it was this, I think, that first awoke my mother to a real awareness of what was happening. It was not only that the books were threatened with destruction: it was also obvious to everyone that their pages had not been cut."
The narrator's insouciance becomes even more extreme as her mother becomes more brittlely hysterical. What makes the story work is the way Clark turns the humour of the surrealized fall of the house inside out like a mobius strip as it becomes a scorching scene of human horror. The mother sends a maimed servant, Myrtle, into the house to bring out a family heirloom, in the course of which impossible task, Myrtle is beaten with wood switches, breaks her back while carrying the monstrous 'highboy' she was sent to bring out, while all the neighborhood ladies are shouting, "Hurry Up Myrtle, Hurry Up, Hurry Up" until she can only be seen between windows as a wall crashes into her — and "she fell with her torn-off wrists lifted up in prayer."
The poodle makes its way up to the mother's bedroom, and she cries out to him, "Moppy! Moppy!", my mother cried, 'Did you think your mother had forgotten you? Oh Moppy you did!?
The two — mother and poodle — do jump from the remaining wall, "My mother in a new flowered print and a picture hat, holding up her arms with an expression of love, almost — I thought at that moment but I am not sure ow — almost a look of fulfilment in her face, which at times made one think of a madonna though the profile was too sharp. And then the last of the house fell and buried them."
I wonder what Dwight McDonald thought about the story — was it too slick for him? Or did it conform too much to his ideas of New Yorker ideology? Anyone reading this know?
Here is the link to read the story itself on the BU onlinePartisan Review site: p.35ff. click here Hurry Hurry
Eleanor Clark later wrote well- received travel books, one of which won the National Book Award — The Oysters of Locmariaquer (1964),a study of a French community of Oyster farmers — and she married the poet Robert Penn Warren. She remained a beautiful and witty woman all her life:

Q: Can I use arrays as a function parameter in C99? The C99 standard says the following in 6.7.5.3/7:

A declaration of a parameter as ''array of type'' shall be adjusted to ''qualified pointer to
             type'', where the type qualifiers (if any) are those specified within the [ and ] of the
                array type derivation.

Which I understand as:
void foo(int * arr) {} // valid
void foo(int arr[]) {} // invalid

However, gcc 4.7.3 will happily accept both function definitions, even when compiled with gcc -Wall -Werror -std=c99 -pedantic-errors. Since I am not a C expert, I am unsure if maybe I misinterpreted what the standard is saying.
I also noticed that
size_t foo(int arr[]) { return sizeof(arr); }

will always return sizeof(int *) instead of the array size, which firms my belief that int arr[] is handled as int * and gcc is just trying to make me feel more comfortable.
Can someone shed some light on this issue? Just for reference, this question arose from this comment.

A: Some context:
First of all, remember that when an expression of type "N-element array of T" appears in a context where it isn't the operand of the sizeof or unary & operator, or isn't a string literal being used to initialize another array in a declaration, it will be converted to an expression of type "pointer to T" and its value will be the address of the first element in the array.
That means when you pass an array argument to a function, the function will receive a pointer value as a parameter; the array expression is converted to a pointer type before the function is called.
That's all well and good, but why is arr[] allowed as a pointer declaration?  I can't say that this is the reason for sure, but I suspect it's a holdover from the B language, from which C was derived.  In fact, pretty much everything hinky or unintuitive about arrays in C is a holdover from B.
B was a "typeless" language; you didn't have different types for floats, integers, text, whatever.  Everything was stored as fixed-size words, or "cells", and memory was treated as a linear array of cells.  When you declared an array in B, as in
auto arr[10];

the compiler would set aside 10 cells for the array, and then set aside an additional 11th cell that would store an offset to the first element of the array, and that additional cell would be bound to the variable arr.  As in C, array indexing in B was computed as *(arr + i); you'd take the value stored in arr, add an offset i, and dereference the result.  Ritchie retained most of these semantics, with the huge exception of no longer setting aside storage for the pointer to the first element of the array; instead, that pointer value would be computed from the array expression itself when the code was translated.  This is why array expressions are converted to pointer types, why &arr and arr give the same value, if different types (the address of the array and the address of the first element of the array are the same) and why an array expression cannot be the target of an assignment (there's nothing to assign to; no storage has been set aside for a variable independent of the array elements).
Now here's the fun bit; in B, you'd declare a "pointer" as
auto ptr[];

This had the effect of allocating the cell to store the offset to the first element of the array and binding it to ptr, but ptr didn't point anywhere in particular; you could assign it to point to various locations. I suspect that notation was held over for a couple of reasons:

*

*Most of the guys who worked on the initial version of C were familiar with it;

*It sort of emphasizes that the parameter represents an array in the caller;

Personally, I would have preferred that Ritchie had used * to designate pointers everywhere, but he didn't (or, alternately, use [] to designate a pointer in all contexts, not just a function parameter declaration).  I will normally recommend that everyone use * notation for function parameters instead of [], simply because it more accurately conveys the type of the parameter, but I can understand why people would prefer the second notation.

A: Both your valid and invalid declarations are internally equivalent, i.e., the compiler converts the latter to the former.
What your function sees is the pointer to the first element of the array.
PS. The alternative would be to push the whole array on the stack, which would be grossly inefficient from both time and space viewpoints.

Today in 1965 Canada adopted its iconic flag and the date is celebrated annually as National Flag of Canada Day. The red and white maple leaf design replaced an old red flag with the Union Jack in the corner and funny shield affair stranded in the middle.
Officially called the National Flag of Canada but better known as the Maple Leaf and l'Unifolié (French for 'the one-leafed'), it is based on the flag of the Royal Military College of Canada. The 11 points on the stylised maple leaf don't have any significance and their composition resulted from wind tunnel tests which showed the design to be the least blurry in high wind conditions.
The maple leaf has been used as a Canadian emblem since the 1700s and was first used as a national symbol in 1868 when it appeared on the coat of arms of both Ontario and Quebec. Appropriately we are marking the day with a Maple Leaf Cocktail but you might also consider a Toronto or if you have a French Canadian leaning then perhaps a Quebec.
The anniversary of Decimalisation Day
Back in 1971, this was the day the UK and Ireland decimalised their currencies. Known as Decimalisation Day, before this date we Brits used pounds, shillings and pence. The pound was made up of 240 pence with 12 pence in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound.
Sadly, coins such as the 'half-crown' (worth two shillings and sixpence, or one eighth of a pound) were lost but the decimalised pound is more compatible with computers and is simpler to calculate change. Decimalisation of the pound also brought it in line with most other international currencies. We're drinking to this Sterling currency with a Money Penny Cocktail.
It's also Galileo Galilei's birthday
In 1564, Galileo Galilei was born in the shadow of Pisa's Leaning Tower. He would go on to become a mathematician, a physicist, an astronomer and, according to Albert Einstein, "the father of modern science".
Galileo's greatest achievement? He set up a model of rational scientific thought and research that would last into the modern era - AKA, he believed that maths and physics, not the Bible, should govern our interpretation of science. He stood up to his friend, Pope Urban, enough to publish an argument that the Earth revolved around the Sun, when the Church believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth. Galileo fathered three children outside marriage, and acknowledged them, invented instruments from thermometers to telescopes, discovered four of Jupiter's moons - and much, much more. We are toasting this great Italian with an equally great Italian-influenced cocktail, the Little Italy, created by Audrey Saunders.
It's also National Gumdrop Day in America
Of course it is! We don't have a Gumdrop cocktail with which to celebrate this auspicious occasion but we do have a Jelly Belly Beany. Cheers!

System of Government: South Africa is a vigorous multiparty democracy with an independent judiciary and a free and diverse press.
South Africa is a nation of diversity, with 49.32-million people and a variety of cultures, languages and religious beliefs. According to Statistics South Africa's mid-2009 estimates, the country's population stands at 49 320 500 people. Africans are in the majority at 39 136 200, making up 79.3% of the total population. The white population is estimated at 4 472 100 (9.1%), the coloured population at 4 433 100 (9%) and the Indian/Asian population at 1 279 100 (2.6%). Females make up 52% of the population, and males 48%.
South Africa is a medium-sized country, with a total land area of 1 219 090 square kilometres, or roughly equivalent in size to Niger, Angola, Mali or Colombia. It is one-eighth the size of the US, about a third the size of the European Union, twice the size of France and over three times the size of Germany. It measures some 1 600km from north to south, and roughly the same from east to west. The coastline stretches 2 798 kilometres from a desert border in the northwest, down the icy Skeleton Coast to Cape Agulhas, then up along the green hills and wide beaches on the coast of the Indian Ocean, to a border with subtropical Mozambique in the northeast. The low-lying coastal zone is narrow for much of that distance, soon giving way to a mountainous escarpment that separates it from the high inland plateau.


Henrielle Baltazar Pagkaliwangan continues her fascination with Manila Bay as viewed from the Association of Pinoyprintmakers (AP) studio located at the Tanghalang Francisco Balagtas, formerly known as the Folk Arts Theater. Almost completely surrounded by land, Manila Bay serves as the womb for maritime activities and important events in history. It is also known for its scenic views which are captured and reproduced over and over again that it has become a part of our collective memory.
Each print in this series shows the breakwater and the dock stretching out into the bay as buildings and vessels seem to sink below the horizon. At sundown, these structures glint in the night sky as light reflects off the dark waters. Both sky and water are subject to the whims of the sun as their color changes at different times of the day: sunrise, sunset, night, and the moments in between.
a matter of course for Henrielle whose pen and ink and watercolor drawings, with their fine lines and soft details, exude the qualities found in these prints.
With the arresting image of the natural harbor recorded at specific times of the day, Timestamps is a meditation on the fleeting nature of time. Small in scale for a subject matter as vast and iconic as Manila Bay, these works serve as personal mementos of a shared experience among members of the AP, who also respond to their artmaking as a communal practice within and beyond the space of their studio. Printmaking, the art of reproducing text and images using a template, is akin to the act of remembering—a series of repetitions laced with subtle nuances over time.
