Det hændte en nat (orig. It Happened One Night) er en romantisk komediefilm fra 1934 instrueret af Frank Capra med Clark Gable og Claudette Colbert i hovedrollerne. Det var den første film, som vandt de fem største priser i Oscarsammenhæng, med bedste film, bedste instruktør, bedste mandlige og kvindelige hovedrolle og bedste manuskript.

Filmen er baseret på historien Night bus af Samuel Hopkins Adams. Trods titlen foregår filmen over flere nætter.

Handling

Den forkælede enearving Ellen "Ellie" Andrews (Claudette Colbert) gifter sig med formuejægeren King Westley (Jameson Thomas) imod hendes meget rige fars (Walter Connolly) ønske, som får ægteskabet annulleret. Hun stikker af og tager en bus til New York for at bliver genforenet med sin nye ægtefælle, da hun møder medpassageren Peter Warne (Clark Gable), en arbejdsløs avisreporter. Warne genkender hende og giver hende et valg. Hvis hun giver ham eneretten til sin historie, vil han hjælpe hende med at blive genforenet med Wesley. Hvis ikke, vil han fortælle hendes far, hvor hun er, og indløse dusøren, der er udlovet for at få hende tilbage. Ellie vælger det første.

Snart har Ellie ikke flere penge tilbage, og hun bliver helt afhængig af Peter. Efterhånden som de gennmgår flere eventyr sammen, bliver afstanden mellem dem mindre, og Ellie bliver forelsket i Peter. Da de er nødt til at tomle, påstår Peter, at han er ekspert på området. Bil efter bil kører forbi, og til sidst må Ellie træde til for at vise, hvordan det skal gøres. Hun stopper den næste bil ved at løfte op i sin nederdel og vise sine bare velformede ben.

Da de stopper for at holde en pause, forsøger føreren af bilen at stikke af med deres bagage. Peter jagter ham og tager bilen. En nat nær enden af deres rejse fortæller Ellie, at hun er forelsket i Peter. Han tænker over, hvad hun har fortalt, og finder ud af, at han også er forelsket i hende og kører ud for at ordne nogle ting. Da motellets ejere opdager, at Peters bil er væk, smider de Ellie ud.

Ellie ringer til sin far, fordi hun tror, at Peter har forladt hende. Faren er så glad for at få hende tilbage, at han indvilger i at lade hende gifte sig med Westley. Selvom Ellie ikke har lyst til at blive gift med Westley, tror hun, at Peter har bedraget hende for at få dusøren, så hun siger ja til at holde et formelt bryllup. Samtidig har Peter fået penge af sin redaktør, så de kan gifte sig, men da han kører tilbage for at fortælle hende det, krydser de hinanden på vejen.

Ellie prøver at lade, som om intet er hændt, men hun kan ikke narre sin far. Hun fortæller til sidst hele historien. Da Peter kommer til hendes hjem, vil Mr. Andrews give ham dusøren, men Peter insisterer på kun at få betalt sine udgifter på $39,60. Da Ellies far presser ham for at få en forklaring på hans opførsel, erkender Peter, at han elsker Ellie, og stormer ud.

Ved bryllupsceremonien, da Mr. Andrews følger sin datter ned af kirkegulvet, fortæller han Ellie, at Peter nægtede at tage imod dusøren, og opmuntrer hende til at stikke af igen. Da hun skal til at sige "ja" til Westley, beslutter hun sig og løber ud for at finde Peter. Hendes tilfredse far betaler Westley og gør det muligt for Peter og Ellie at gifte sig.

Produktion
Hverken Gable eller Colbert var førstevalg til hovedrollerne. Miriam Hopkins afslog først rollen som Ellie. Robert Montgomery og Myrna Loy blev derefter tilbudt rollerne, men begge afviste manuskriptet. Margaret Sullavan sagde også nej til rollen. Constance Bennett var villig til at spille rollen, hvis hun måtte producere filmen selv, men dette tillod Columbia Pictures ikke. Så ville Bette Davis gerne have rollen, men hun var under kontrakt hos Warner Bros., der nægtede at låne hende ud. Carole Lombard kunne ikke accepterer rollen, da hun allerede var i gang med optagelser af en anden film.

Harry Cohn foreslog Colbert, og hun afslog i første omgang rollen. Colbert første film For the love of Mike (1927) var instrueret af Frank Capra, og det var en så stor fiasko, at Colbert havde svoret aldrig at lave en film med ham igen. Senere invilgede hun i at medvirke i filmen, hvis hendes løn blev fordoblet til $50.000 og også på den betingelse, at hendes rolle kunne filmes på fire uger, så hun kunne holde sin allerede planlagte ferie.

Ifølge en Hollywood-legende blev Gable lånt ud til Columbia Pictures, der dengang blev betragtet som et lille studie, som en slags straf for at have nægtet en rolle hos sit eget studie. Dette er dog blevet benægtet i nyere biografier. MGM havde ikke nogle filmprojekter klar til Gable, og studiet skulle betale ham $2.000 pr uge, uanset om han arbejdede eller ej. Louis B. Mayer lånte Gable ud for $2.500 om ugen, så MGM tjente 500 om ugen, mens han var væk. Capra fortalte dog, at Gable ikke var glad for at medvirke i filmen.

Indspilningen begyndte i en dårlig atmosfære, da Gable og Colbert var utilfredse med med manuskriptets kvalitet. De opbyggede dog et godt arbejdskammeratskab og blev enige om, at manuskriptet ikke var værre end mange af de andre film, de havde medvirket i. Capra forstod deres utilfredshed og prøvede at lette humøret ved at lade Gable lave nogle practical jokes på Colbert, som tog dem i godt humør.

Colbert blev dog ved med at vise sin utilfredshed med manuskriptet. I første omgang var hun heller ikke villig til at løfte op i sin nederdel for at stoppe en forbipasserende bil, da hun ikke mente, det var en ordentlig opførsel for en dame. Men efter hun havde set den korpige, der var bragt ind for at være hendes bodydouble, sagde hun til instruktøren: "Få den pige væk herfra. Jeg gør det. Det der er ikke mit ben!"

Molecular packing in Langmuir Blodgett films by core level loss spectroscopy
Murali Sastry, Sipra Pal, D. V. Paranjape, Aparna Rajagopal, Shubhada Adhi, S. K. Kulkarni
Molecular packing in lead arachidate [(C19H39COO) 2Pb] Langmuir Blodgett monolayer films transferred to glass substrates has been investigated using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. It was observed that the degree of salt formation was a sensitive function of the subphase pH reaching a maximum at a pH of nearly 5.8. The loss features in the C 1s core level spectra of the films were clearly defined for films consisting of purely metal salt of arachidic acid while they became progressively diffused as the subphase pH was reduced. The blurring of the C 1s loss features has been explained as arising due to disorder introduced into the alkyl chains of lead arachidate molecules by the evaporation of acid molecules under ultrahigh vacuum. This leads to changes in the quasi one-dimensional electronic band structure in such molecular crystal films. A comparison is made with results obtained on cadmium arachidate and arachidic acid monolayer Langmuir Blodgett films. It is thus shown that molecular packing in Langmuir Blodgett films may be investigated using core level loss spectroscopy.

afro chat
This article is about afro chat. If you ever wanted to find out more about dating girls from Africa, this is for you. Read more of afro chat: Afro Chat: The Truth about Dating African Girls
Afrochat: The Truth About Dating African Girls
You'll see in this article that dating African girls is a bit different than the traditional dating in most of the world.
If you look at what Africa looks like in terms of women's rights, you'll see that things are actually pretty bad here.
So it's not surprising that there's a lot of problems with African dating. However, the reason why I'm sharing this with you is because I think it's important for you to learn what's really going on in Africa's dating culture.
What I've discovered is that girls are actually very scared to come out to us, and there's a lot of shame around it. You see, this is 62kg in stones the place where we're supposed to learn how to talk to each other, and to become more confident. We're supposed to be learning how to be more social in this place. But what they're really afraid of is that we'll be too good for them, and that the things that are being taught in school will be completely different when they come out to us. They'll think that we'll just be the next hot African guys that they find online or whatever.
So, I'm going to go ahead and say this right now. In Africa, the thing is that we are not just a bunch of horny, sex-crazed African boys with the desire to get into women's pants. There are lots of girls that like us, but there are also a lot of girls that don't want to be with us. And éloquante when the shit hits the fan, they're not going to like it. And I'm not going to have a good time in this country when it does hit the fan.
This is one of the reasons why I'm so interested in Africa. We don't do our homework. We've never been out in Africa, we don't know what the culture is like, we have never been on the ground, we haven't seen the women, we're not used to the idea of women being attracted to us. So, the whole culture, in my opinion, we're not free usa dating site doing our homework as much as we should. And that's a big issue when it comes to African women. And if I had a brother that was dating African women, and they were talking about getting together with African men, I would definitely have a hard time understanding why. Because it seems to me they're dating men that are from the same culture. That's what I'm thinking of, when I think of African women. But, if they're dating other women, well, they're not really dating anyone. And so that makes me very uncomfortable when I hear that.
What was your experience like with this girl? I don't remember any of that stuff. I didn't have a conversation with her. I don't really remember anything. I think we had a conversation about religion, where we talked about the people around us, about people that have helped us and things like that, but it was nothing like what I remember, except for her wanting to go back to her apartment when I came back, and me saying "okay, then." So, how do www badoo co uk login you explain this girl's behavior to other women, if she wasn't a person to you? Well, there's the problem with the women who are "black" girls. If badoo fr se connecter they are black, and they're dating, then the women that are black in these types of relationships, if they're dating, they're dating the woman that has had a good relationship, and she knows that, but then it's just a matter of time before she's in the situation where she's with this person, and the fact that she's been in a relationship for a few years, and she's going to be with this person that has been around for a long time, and it's a relationship where they're together, she feels like it's the right time. And then, then it becomes the problem for her to get over, which is why so many people do. They feel like they can't get over, they're just not ready for a relationship like that, and there's just no room for them in it, and there's not a single person who is in that situation who can understand how it could affect them in the long run. In your experience, what is your experience with this type of relationship, when it goes wrong? Well, one of the problems with a lot of these type of relationships, is that a lot of them are just a way to get a girl to come over. It's like what you're talking about. She comes over, you show her around, she shows you her room, and you get something else for her for showing you the room. It's not really about a relationship, and it's not really about her having a good relationship with you. It's more about you being able to show her your room. I know it's hard for people edsy who have African friends and have African friends who are trying to break into the western dating world, but I've been in a lot of relationships that are just like this, and the girls don't seem to care. When you say these relationships, do you mean the relationships in Africa and America? Yeah, there are some that are like that as well. It's just the way it is. So what are they like? I mean, in the case of guys, I think there's a lot of "fuck your wife" sort of things that goes on in those relationships, and I'm sure it's afrointroductions login in not a great way to build a relationship. In fact, I know a lot of guys who would rather date a woman from Africa than their wife in America. You know what I mean? There's something weird about that.

Q: Search criteria based on few parameter Laravel This search works for me only when I fill all the fields correctly. My wish is that when I fill only one field, I will exclude results only relevant to this field.
Example if I fill only 'mark' field with 'Audi'  got my mark name.  My function is currently returning the results only if all fields are filled. If I fill one field, it returns an empty array. Also, I'm not sure if this function is well written, I followed the tutorial. Look code:
public function searchFilterCar(Request $request, Car $car){
    if($request->has('car_type')){
        if($request->has('mark')){
            if($request->has('model')){
                if($request->has('fuel')){
                    if($request->has('circuit')){
                        return $car->where('car_type', $request->input('car_type'))
                                    ->where('mark', $request->input('mark'))
                                    ->where('model', $request->input('model'))
                                    ->where('fuel', $request->input('fuel'))
                                    ->where('circuit', $request->input('circuit'))
                                    ->get();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

A: Separate the conditions into several if statements, the where works on the existing results so you will be continuing from previous where. Its should something like this:
    if($request->has('car_type')){
        $car = $car->where('car_type', $request->input('car_type'));
    }

    if($request->has('mark')){
        $car = $car->where('mark', $request->input('mark'));
    }

    ....

    return $car->get();

It might look a bit crude but it decreases the size of the code block and it works

A: Another way similar to Khaldoun Nd's answer would be to use query conditionals. It allows you to remove the subsequent if statements.
The code would become something like that:
return $car
    ->when($request->car_type, function ($query, $type) {
        return $query->where('car_type', $type);
    })
    ->when($request->mark, function ($query, $mark) {
        return $query->where('mark', $mark);
    })
    // Chain the other conditions like the previous ones...
    ->get();

For reference: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/queries#conditional-clauses

China Seizes Over 89 Million Shoddy Face Masks
China released new rules Saturday saying even non-medical masks must meet both national and international quality standards
WANG ZHAO
China has confiscated over 89 million poor quality face masks, a government official said Sunday, as Beijing faces a slew of complaints about faulty protective gear exported worldwide.
Demand for protective equipment has soared as nations across the globe battle the deadly coronavirus, which has infected around 2.9 million people.
But a number of countries have complained about faulty masks and other products exported by China, mostly for use by medical workers and vulnerable groups.
China's market regulators had inspected nearly 16 million businesses and seized over 89 million masks and 418,000 pieces of protective gear as of Friday, said Gan Lin, deputy director of the State Administration of Market Regulation, at a press conference.
Regulators had also seized ineffective disinfectants worth over 7.6 million yuan ($1.1 million), she said.
It is unclear how much of the confiscated goods were destined for markets abroad.
In a bid to eliminate poor-quality products, China released new rules Saturday saying even non-medical masks must meet both national and international quality standards.
Exporters must file a written declaration that their medical products meet the safety requirements of the destination country, the ministry of commerce said in a statement.
The tighter rules come after several countries including Spain, the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Turkey were forced to recall hundreds of thousands of shoddy masks and pieces of protective gear imported from China.
The Canadian government last week said that about one million face masks purchased from China failed to meet proper standards for healthcare professionals.
Dutch health officials last month recalled over half a million Chinese masks -- which had already been sent to hospitals –- after complaints that they did not close over the face properly, or had defective filters.
China is producing more than 116 million masks per day, according to official figures.
It has exported more than one billion masks this year so far, commerce ministry official Li Xingqian told reporters.
China has also signed contracts to export medical materials worth $1.41 billion to 74 countries and six international organisations, he added.
In the first two months of the year, a staggering 8,950 new manufacturers started producing masks in China, according to business data platform Tianyancha.
Despite the nationwide crackdown, businesses were continuing with illicit production of medical equipment since it was a way to earn "quick money", Chinese customs official Jin Hai said earlier this month.
Over 31.6 million faulty masks and 509,000 protective suits destined for export had been confiscated by port officials as of mid-April, he said.

Quick script that I put together to Shutdown my VMware Server VM, copy it to a different spot, and then start it again. It sends me an email in the end to let me know that the script ran. Using: vmrun.
PS: Create new user in VMWare Server for backup purposes with specific permissions. Then modify the script.
I just used VMWare-Converter to pull off from a physical machine the MS Win OS.
I did not experience any problems, however when I booted the OS in VMWare Server I wanted to setup static IP address for it, and I could not do it.
System complained that there is hidden network adapter with the same(original) IP address already set for different local network adapter.
This should start up the device manager. Go into View->Show hidden devices. That should show the shadowed out nic card that needs to be removed in the Network Adapters area.
The solution worked like a charm 🙂 and now I am up and running.

In the age of smart phones, the mobile phone is not only an equipment for communication. Moreover, thanks to the versatility of the phones the telephone function is becoming less important. We rather use our handsets to read our e-mails, visit social sites, navigate when travelling and we even organize our meetings and to-do's with them. The hardware components are not the only reason behind the versatile usage of our phones, a lot depends on the operating system, and on the available software as well. Android is a state-of-the-art mobile OS, which has become a leader in the mobile phones market. As my thesis topic, I have chosen to create a task scheduler application for android. My application's main purpose is to take the personal task scheduler applications to a new level with the usage of widespread location positioning technologies. Users are able to easily record personal todo's to real locations using my application. They are able to plan their day visually, by choosing the locations on a map. In this way, they can organize their reminders by location and not by time, so if a user approaches a previously recorded location, the application alerts.

I test drove the Touring model today and has a lot of road noise, a little quieter than my 2013 but still not good. Anyone else feel the same?
Don't buy this car if you have senstive ears. THE CAR IS REALLY NOISY AND BUMPY !!!!!
CRV TOURING 2017 DISAPPOINTED OWNER.
I'm with you - our 16 is noisy. This car will likely be on the trade block soon.
My 17 touring is slightly noisier than my TL CRV feels firmer than TL in the corners and handles bumps better than TL.
Test drive another CRV, the first CRV I test drove is noisier than my TL with bad tires, after trying another car it's a night and day difference. CRV has loud road noise at highway speed due to the stock tires, Hankook. I find keeping it at 31~32psi seem to make the road noise quieter on highway but you will lost ~1mpg and if you have 34+psi on the tires, it's hard as rock and very noisy.
not ours. Quietest car we have owned..
Check your tire pressure. Seems like the factory puts 42 pounds in them and dealers are not reducing the pressures during the PDI.
exactly guys. Noise is subjective. Whats loud to someone may not be loud to someone else. Its like the sense of smell.
I don't get it. If it's so "NOISY AND BUMPY !!!!!", why did you buy it? Did the dealer you purchase it from limit your test drive to scooting across a glass-smooth parking lot?

Q: selenium web driver - css selector/locator for table hearder

ID
Name

webdriver code to sort the table by column header is
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("th.sortable")).click();

This sorts the table by ID column. How do I sort the table by Name column using "Name" and not the data type="name"
Thanks

A: Why bother with css? Using XPath, that should be something like
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//th[text()='Name']")).click();

A: We can use the CSS here
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".sortable[data-type='name']")) -- Data Type(Name)
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".sortable[data-type='stateid']")) -- Data Type (State ID)
Please Let me know is the above CSS Selectors are working.

You love your favorite blanket. It could be brand new or the one Nana knitted for you when you were six. You snuggle up in it. Feel safe in it. Wrap yourself in it in the middle of the night to make that long, arduous trek to the fridge to see if there is any more mint chocolate chip or pickled okra (yes, the middle-of-the-night cravings are truly bizarre).
What if you could take your favorite something with you out into the world and avoid looking like a derelict? Or at least look like a fabulous derelict.
Your Blanket Cardigan (No. 5803). Granted, not all our favorite blankets can be as chic as this, so don't try this at home. 100% cotton sweater knit. Double-knit jacquard in a striking Aztec pattern. Wonderfully oversized with an open front and dazzlingly large lapels. Rib sleeve cuffs. Fringed hem. We've put stretchy stuff in the back waist to give your figure some love.
In contrast to what people may think when seeing you in your favorite blanket, sleepiness will be the last thing on their minds when you're wearing this. Imported.


The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC), together with ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation Inc.'s Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig and the Quezon City government, inaugurated the Pasong Tamo Creek's Linear Park in Barangay Toro, the first river rehabilitation project in Quezon City.
The ceremony was led by PRRC chair Gina Lopez and the Quezon City government headed by Mayor Herbert Bautista.
Pasong Tamo Creek is a 2.4-kilometer tributary of the Pasig River that drains through the San Juan River. Indigenous flowering plants can be seen along the 380meter linear park that is planned to be improved further through different landscaping works such as solar-powered lampposts and park benches.
PRRC and the Quezon City government plan to liven up the creek by making it a theme park where families can pay for boat rides or students can have educational field trips. The possibility of having the Pasong Tamo Creek's Linear Park as a venue for events, such as concerts or weddings, is also included in plans to help the residents along the creek have a source of income and help in alleviating poverty in the area.

Union Pacific Building Hub For $400M in New Mexico
By Scott Blair, Editor-in-Chief
Union Pacific Railroad, the largest rail network in the U.S., is expected to break ground later this year on a new transportation hub that will expand its existing operations in the Southwest. The $400-million project will be constructed in Santa Teresa, N.M., not far from the Omaha-based rail company's existing El Paso, Texas, facility.
Originally proposed in 2006, the project has been on hold in part because the railroad was waiting for the New Mexico Legislature to pass a locomotive fuel tax exemption.
At a press conference in Santa Teresa on Jan. 8, newly elected Gov. Susana Martinez (R) said she expects the Legislature to pass the tax "so Union Pacific can break ground and begin the process of hiring New Mexico workers and bringing back jobs that have been lost to other states."
The project is expected to create 3,000 jobs during the four-year construction phase, according to Aaron Hunt, Union Pacific's director of media relations. "No design firms are involved in the project yet," he adds.
Construction will include a new fueling facility for the railroad's El Paso-to-Los Angeles route, crew-change buildings to serve as a home base for Union Pacific employees operating long-haul trains out of the area, an intermodal block swap/switching yard and an intermodal ramp used for loading and unloading containers between truck trailers and flat cars. More than 600 permanent jobs are expected to be created once the site begins operations in 2015.
The Santa Teresa location was selected because there was no land available adjacent to the El Paso facility to accommodate the various components.
"If we do not get the locomotive fuel tax exemption, we will have to re-evaluate our plans," Hunt says. "Our operations will continue in El Paso regardless."
The hub is part of Union Pacific's planned $3.2-billion capital spending program in 2011 to enhance safety and efficiency throughout the firm's 32,000-mile freight transportation network. Much of that spending will center on maintenance.

EMU celebrates the inauguration of its ninth president, Dr. Susan Schultz Huxman
April 7, 2017 Last updated April 26, 2017 by Lauren Jefferson
Some 500 voices joined in the litany of investiture today to welcome and bless Eastern Mennonite University's ninth president, Dr. Susan Schultz Huxman, during the inaugural ceremony at Yoder Arena.
The confirming confluence of diverse voices was one of those "beautiful and brazen 'Behold!'" moments that Huxman spoke about in her inaugural address as "an awesome mystery … something really unusual and unconventional unfolding before you."
It was indeed: Acknowledging EMU's 100-year-history, its growth as a diverse, Christ-centered community, and its historic commitment to nonviolence and peace, the litany, written by Professor Vi Dutcher, blended voices of EMU's students, faculty and staff, and the board of trustees, as well the broader community, including representatives from Mennonite Education Agency and Mennonite Church, USA, into an encouraging message of legacy, faith and Christian community.
Watch a livestream video of the inauguration ceremony.
Present for the ceremony were 17 delegate representatives from colleges and universities, including Mennonite institutions.

Harrisonburg mayor Deanna R. Reed brought greetings on behalf of the city and framed the university's unique role as "the very moral compass which a vast number of residents reference for social, political and spiritual wisdom and guidance," she said. "We will forever be grateful for Eastern Mennonite University and the EMU community for teaching and instructing us — the city — how to embrace, celebrate and welcome neighbors and stakeholders from all faith, backgrounds and cultures."
The choice of Huxman, the university's first permanent female president, to represent EMU's educational mission on the local, national and international stage in working towards peace, racial reconciliation and restorative justice is significant, Reed said. "I am prayerful and hopeful we can further cultivate a community even more closely reflective of EMU's mission, vision and values."
EMU's countercultural story

In her address titled "Behold and Enter the Countercultural Story," Huxman pointed to two such "Behold!" moments and the trajectories that followed. The first was the "leap of faith" taken by church leaders to open Eastern Mennonite School in 1917 with 20 students and four faculty members in the Shenandoah Valley. Now the institution includes nearly 2,000 students, two additional instructional sites, more than 100 faculty and 60 academic programs.
A second such moment, she noted, was in 1948, when Eastern Mennonite became the first historically white college in Virginia to open its doors to African-American students. EMU "continues to be a trailblazer in social justice education," she added, linked inextricably to the "sacred premise that all students are viewed as gifted people created and loved by God" and to the school's mission to "educate students to lead and serve in a global context."
At EMU, she noted, students experience a life-changing visible academic and invisible communal curriculum and are immersed in a series of "eyes-wide-open" moments that lead to life-changing and "counter-cultural" transformation.
"I love to tell our unfolding, unconventional story in harmony with the 'old, old story of Jesus and his love,'" she concluded.
'She will speak for you no matter what…'

As the first woman invested as president, Huxman has already contributed this countercultural theme. She was previously president at Conrad Grebel University College, Waterloo, Canada, and prior to that, director of the Elliott School of Communication at Wichita State University, Kansas.
A family legacy of leadership in Anabaptist higher education was affirmed in an introductory address by her father, Dr. Harold J. Schultz, president emeritus of Bethel College (Kansas). Anabaptist institutions have through their graduates a "multiplier effect," a cloud of "living epistles" who "make a difference, no matter where they live," he said. "Beware students, if you come to EMU, there is both a promise and a warning that you risk becoming a changed person."
Dr. Wendy L. Fletcher, president and vice-chancellor of Renison University in Ontario, Canada, affirmed the selection of Huxman to lead EMU in a tumultuous and dangerous time as the tenets of the faith call for radical action and a powerful voice.
"Susan is a disciple and a leader who will be able to take this journey with you," she said. "She is feisty; she doesn't give up; she will speak for you no matter what wolf may bang on the door nor what shadow fall across your floors; she is smart and strategic; she is full of energy for life and good work; she is beautiful from the inside out. She will go with you."
Inauguration festivities continue with a student-planned gala evening event tonight.

Low-cost Nordics expect datacentre growth
The Nordics offers advantages as a datacentre location, with each of its five countries offering something different
David Nikel
Published: 07 Dec 2015 12:15
The Nordic region is set to benefit from an estimated €3.3bn of datacentre investment by 2017, according to a report.
Apple, Microsoft and Facebook have been attracted by the abundance of cheap sustainable energy and government incentives that positions the region as a low-cost option for global enterprise.
But what is the draw of the Nordics' five countries?
The Data Centre Nordics report from BroadGroup was based on a survey of 112 datacentre providers across Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland. The findings suggest half of the predicted growth will be derived from overseas internet players. It said third-party datacentres will increase in size by almost two-and-a-half times and power requirements will triple from current levels.
The report was presented at the Datacloud Nordic conference in Oslo, where a largely Nordic audience discussed the relative pros and cons of the region. Intel's datacentre systems manager Jeff Klaus was able to offer a truly international perspective on the region.
"The international perception of the Nordic region is that of a strong opportunity. Free air cooling, the ease of business operations because of the English-speaking culture and strong engineering platform in the school system are advantages," said Klaus.
In addition to the natural benefits of air cooling for at least eight months of the year, companies based in the Nordic region are currently experiencing an increase in IT outsourcing and demand for enterprise cloud services.
A closer look at the region
The attractiveness of the Nordic region as a datacentre hub is due to an abundance of low-cost renewable energy, government incentives, a highly educated workforce and high standards of governance.
In Sweden, the arrival of Facebook in the north raised the country's stature as a datacentre provider and kick-started many smaller projects around the region. Luleå, where Facebook built a datacentre, boasts the lowest power costs in the country, with good domestic and international connectivity.
Denmark has a high proportion of renewables and is well connected to continental European power sources to help combat the seasonal nature of wind power. Unlike the rest of the Nordic region, Denmark's flat landscape means there is space available on which to build. The arrival of Apple to Viborg is predicted to lead to additional investment as Facebook did for Sweden.
Meanwhile, Norway has seen more domestic datacentre investment with high specification facilities in the western fjords. DNB, Norway's biggest financial group, host all its mission-critical intelligence in the Green Mountain datacentre, built into a secret mountain hideaway once used by Nato during the Cold War, while Lefdal proposes a 120,000m2 facility.
Iceland's massive hydro and geothermal energy generating capacity produces five times as much energy as the country needs. Electricity costs are therefore based on long-term deals rather than uncertain spot prices.
Finland offers fast connections between west and east, a reliable and stable energy grid that was ahead of the pack on energy tax cuts, and a government that has identified 5,000,000m2 of space ripe for datacentre development. The Finnish have so far attracted Microsoft, Yandex and Google.
Even lower costs on the way
The report finds that industrial energy in the Nordics costs as low as €0.03 per kW Hour (KwH), excluding taxes – around half the European average. The costs look set to reduce even further with a series of tax cuts across the region.
The Norwegian government recently announced plans to slash energy taxes for datacentres. As with any other service industry, Norwegian datacentres are currently subject to the standard electricity tax rate of 14.5 øre per KwH (about 1.4p). The government proposes a reduced rate of 0.48 øre per KwH for datacentres with more than 5MW power usage to bring the industry in line with other energy-intensive industries.
Since April 2014, large-scale datacentres have enjoyed lower energy tax rates in Finland, while the Swedish Ministry of Finance is considering a 97% tax cut for datacentres and data service providers.
A shift towards colocation and consolidation
Telcos dominate the datacentre landscape with business models largely focused on colocation, hosting and cloud services. Wholesale providers in the region remain rare.
As the energy tax cuts are mainly relevant for datacentres of a certain size – more than 5W power usage in the case of Norway – many expect consolidation to follow. Such consolidation will not only open up a lower cost base, but it can also help from a marketing perspective.
Intel's Jeff Klaus believes consolidation in the region is inevitable. "There's been good growth in cloud and colocation, but at some point everyone has to fill these facilities with profit. Building a large capital asset with no guarantee of revenue is a difficult business, so consolidation is a necessity for ensuring financial strength and ensuring the remaining players have the investment capability to compete worldwide."
"Intel obsoletes itself every two-and-a-half years with new architecture in the server environment. If you're not financially capable of reinvesting in that equipment, then you're going to be at a disadvantage," he added.
Challenges ahead for the Nordic region
The cost of domestic fibre-optic connectivity varies significantly across the region, as does the access to international fibre-optic connectivity. According to the BroadGroup report, Norwegian datacentre providers report that a lack of low-cost, long-distance connectivity means Norwegian fibre pricing remains higher than in other countries.
Given the easy supply of cheap, renewable energy and tax incentives from governments across the region, over-supply could drive prices down.
"Lessons on the warning signs of over-supply can be learned from the UK," said Steve Wallage, managing director at BroadGroup Consulting.
"A high number of companies competing for business led to very aggressive pricing in the market to attract anchor tenants, and by those companies who prioritised valued customer volume to attract additional funding."
Wallage also emphasised the need to create a solid regional identity to attract large global customers.
"The Nordics are known for local-cost green energy and a low total cost of ownership. Yet the region still lags behind the likes of Ireland, Frankfurt and Amsterdam when it comes to an international reputation for specific factors," he said.

Neon Gods relocates Colby Dauch and Isaac Vega's 2013 battle over control of a sci-fi city to the 'near future' of an alternate-history 2009, replacing the original drab browns and greys of the original with a eye-melting palette of fluorescent pinks, greens, yellows and blues inspired by '70s and '80s movies. If the influence wasn't obvious enough, the first player marker is a Rubik's Cube.
Originally designed as a more straightforward reimplementation of City of Remnants' territory-control gameplay, Neon Gods eventually ended up standing apart from its predecessor in a number of ways, including a greater reliance on dice to resolve battles, which can both deal damage and present the chance to steal money from opponents.
Players recruit gang members and move them around the board to exert control over areas and claim territory for points (or 'blurp', in the game's universe). Cards are used to execute actions from moving figures and trading products via the black market to building structures to gain unique abilities.
Vega himself is behind the updated design, which is said to be a good deal more streamlined and easier to pick up than City of Remnants while preserving the game's core.
Neon Gods is set for a launch later this year, after an early pre-release at Gen Con next month.


4and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.
5Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness.
7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, "THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY."
8Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.
9Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.
10Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
13No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
15I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say.
16Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ?
17Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.
18Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?
19What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
22Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we?
23All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify.
24Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor.
26FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS.
27If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience' sake.
29I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?
31Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
33just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.

Debates start for six members of Citizens Participation Group | THE DAILY HERALD

MARIGOT–The six members of the Citizen's Participation Group held the first of their meetings in the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday to debate four selected topics related to the Grand National Debate initiated by President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron in mid-January.
The National Debate was initially conceived to address the grievances of the yellow jackets movement "Gilets Jaunes" and to allow the public to give their input to assist the government with its responses and decisions. The initiative was then opened up to the national and overseas Collectivités, hence the formation of a voluntary Citizen's Participation Group in St. Martin. Some associations and the Advisory Council of the Collectivité have already debated on some topics.
The members of this participation group were selected a week ago through a draw. From the 16 (six men and 10 women) who applied, six were drawn. The objective was to have a man and a woman from each of the four District Councils. Unfortunately, much to Préfète Déléguée Sylvie Feucher's regret, no applicants came from the Sandy Ground District. She noted that it is still possible for volunteers from Sandy Ground to be included.
The draw was conducted in the presence of Feucher, Territorial Councillor Sofia Carti and Junior Territorial Council President Jonathan Hodge who picked the ballots.
The six who were chosen are Frédérique Poirier and Michel Taylor from Grand Case, Nadine Francis and Didier Bouillon from St. James and Jimmy Gumbs and Maryse Lafleur from French Quarter.
The four themes for the first debate were Ecology Transition, Citizen Democracy, Organisation of State and Public Services, and Finances and Public Spending. The idea is that issues, grievances, opinions and suggestions are forwarded to Paris not only regarding the State, but also from the local level (St. Martin) to show how policies in France impact the overseas territories.
Gumbs described the first meeting as "fruitful." Carti noted there was no political interference. The group was only given an introduction at the opening and some guidelines about the debates.
"A résumé of this debate will be given to each member of the group and all have to agree on what was said or decided before they can move on the next debate," explained Carti.
Assistant Cabinet Director for the Préfète Stephanie Le Gagne is coordinating the debates and compiling a report on the exchanges.

Q: Can we have multiple IP addresses with different Net IDs on an interface? Can we have multiple IP addresses with different Net IDs on an interface? Like a Network Card? For example setting up 192.168.1.2 and 18.170.2.5 on the same network card. If yes, where do we use this method?

A:
Can we have multiple IP addresses with different Net IDs on an
interface?

Yes, you can. There might be many reasons for doing this. Mutli-homing a host with a single NIC connected to the same physical network as hosts in two different layer 3 networks is one example.


Are you a HFS Federal Credit Union member?
The following table illustrates the estimated annual percentage rate (APR), monthly payment, and total payment for a $10,000 loan with a 10 year loan term. The examples assume a 4-year in-school period and a 6-month grace period (54 total months) before you are required to make full principal and interest payments.* During the in-school and grace period, borrowers have the option to either make a fixed payment of $25 each month* or to pay only the interest that accrues on the loan each month. All rates below are shown with the 2.50% origination fee. There are no prepayment penalties.
The monthly payment for your loan and the rate by which it's calculated is dependent on a number of factors, including the term length and whether your loan is a variable or fixed rate, depending on what options are offered to you. Interest rates for fixed rate loans do not change throughout the loan term, while interest rates for variable rate loans may fluctuate up or down with a market index which will affect your monthly payment amount due.
Terms and conditions apply. Loan products, terms, and benefits displayed on this website may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Your rate will be determined after a review of your application and credit profile. You must be either a U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident in an eligible state and from an eligible school (enrolled on at least a half-time basis), and meet HFS Federal Credit Union's credit and income requirements to qualify for a loan. Additionally, in order to receive a loan from HFS Federal Credit Union, you must be a member of HFS Federal Credit Union. If you are not a member of HFS Federal Credit Union, you must apply and become a member during the loan application process. Applying with a creditworthy cosigner may result in a better chance of loan approval and/or lower interest rate. All private student loans from HFS Federal Credit Union must be certified by the applicant's school, and HFS Federal Credit Union reserves the right to reduce the loan amount or withhold funding based on the school certification or in the event the school does not certify the loan, respectively.
If you choose and receive a variable rate loan, your rate may change once a quarter. The variable rate is based on the average of a publicly available index, the Prime Rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal on the first of each month for the last three months immediately preceding the quarterly adjustment date. If the first day of the month is not a business day, the preceding business day will be used. Your rate will be calculated each quarter by adding the Prime Rate to a margin that is assigned to your loan upon loan approval. All loans are subject to an interest rate floor based on term: 10 year: 6.00% and an interest rate cap of 18.00%.

Ayaan Honored with Genesis Award
CJUI's President Ray Hanna presenting the Genesis Award to Ayaan.
CJUI's President Ray Hanna presenting Ayaan Hirsi Ali with the Genesis Award.
At the end of October, Ayaan Hirsi Ali was honored with the Christians and Jews United for Israel's 11th Annual Genesis Award. This award highlights those who exemplify courageous leadership and an enduring love for Israel.
As a keynote speaker at this event, Ayaan spoke of why she admires Israel, but started her speech by discussing if she even truly deserved this award.
"There was a time when I hated Jews. I was convinced Jews were responsible for everything that went wrong in the world." From childhood, Ayaan was taught to be disgusted by Jews; when she first knowingly encountered a Jewish person, she was surprised to find that they looked like a normal person rather than the monster she had imagined. She was also taught that Christians were lost from the true faith. But it's how her mindset changed when she left her home that made her the perfect candidate for this award.
Ayaan shared the three reasons why, in her opinion, Israel is a great nation state, and one of the only successful democracies in the Middle East. Israel chose life over death, liberty over authoritarianism, and chose a healthy attitude toward nationalism and honoring a place of faith.
While commenting on Israel's commendable approach to democracy, she reasoned "with a healthy approach to faith, children would not need to be taught to hate those of another faith for no good reason." This attitude would allow for many other flourishing democracies spreading peace among the region.
Ayaan ended her speech by encouraging the audience members to look for signs of hope when everything seems dark. "I see people, and leaders who are that hope." There are more and more Muslims who are speaking out in support of Israel.
It's because of Ayaan's vision for a future where everyone, particularly women and girls, are free to live lives of their own choosing, that we are here today. Our supporters make it possible for Ayaan and the AHA Foundation to work to turn Ayaan's vision into a reality.
LUCIFER says:
No mention of the ongoing daily suffering and struggle of Palestinian people in the hands of Israeli military forces. What about their non-existent "freedom"? I'm very surprised to see Ayaan's name in this news. Is there something I'm missing or I overlook I wonder.
Matthew Cooper says:
Really disappointed Ayaan is associating with these people. In my opinion, she has simply exchanged one set of extremist views for another. Any cursory glance at this organisation's website can see that they wish to re-create the Biblical state of Israel motivated by religious insanity and have no consideration to the plight of the Arabs who had been living there for generations.
Please reference the Muslims who are speaking up in support of Israel. Seems hugely unlikely given their terrible human rights record against the Palestinians and African immigrants.
Marzia Babakarkhail says:
Congratulations Ayaan, Amazing! great job. we should work together and move on!!
Kenney C Kennedy says:
Congratulation, Ayaan. I feel more optimistic about peace in the Middle East and about liberation for Muslim women because of the courageous work you've done. ~kK
Gabrielle McMullin says:
Well done Ayaan. You are a complete inspiration and your hard work for women throughout the world is greatly appreciated.


Appreciate the simple life and enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside.
The Afrikaans translation of 'Paris' is Parys, and while the small Free State town is not exactly the 'city of love', it's got a lot to offer. Artists from the city often settle here in favour of the quiet country atmosphere, and visitors frequent the area to see Parys' most unique attraction - The Vredefort Dome.
Rooms have comfortable mattresses and luxury down feather duvets for a peaceful sleep.
Enjoy sundowners while watching the spectacular sunset.
Have a lovely afternoon picnic with your partner at the Vaal River, which is only 700m from the guesthouse and located within the estate.
There's plenty of opportunity to go birdwatching at Mountain View Estate - listen out for the cry of the fish eagle.
Relax in the garden a while and appreciate the playful nature of the resident squirrels.
The Vredefort Dome - the oldest and largest meteorite site in the world.
Activities on/by the Vaal River. Guests could walk or drive down to the river where you can enjoy a spot of fly fishing.
Bird watching at Claireberrie - the bird life is amazing, and you're bound to see Fish Eagles.
A spectrum of restaurants located nearby - Ruby's Restaurant, Pickled Pig's Ale House, De Vette Mossel, O's restaurant and Oppie Plaas are recommended.
Child policy: promotion for 2 adults only.
Buy up to 4 deals and extend your stay. Limited to 4 vouchers per transaction.
Looking to get out of the city for a quick and quiet country break?
Located an hour's drive from Gauteng, Parys is the ideal destination for peace and relaxation, with plenty of activities to keep you busy.
Mountain View Country Lodge is a comfortable and convenient base from which you can explore the area. It's located 10km from the town of Parys, in proximity to the Vredefort Dome, Claireberrie Bird Sanctuary, the Bon-Af Berry Farm, and restaurants, cafes, and farm stalls.
With the Vaal River running through Parys, the region is known as fly fishing territory. Spend an afternoon fishing while listening to the cries of Fish Eagles in the distance.
Situated on the banks of the Vaal River in the Free State, Parys is no sleepy little town. With a wide range of activities and beautiful locations, it is a true gem that is conveniently close to Gauteng.
Parys was named after the city of love by a German surveyor called Schilbach who was present at the Siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War and was reminded of the River Seine when he first saw the Vaal.
Parys' European namesake is especially celebrated in the Le Petit Paris Secret Passage, a little courtyard off the main road that has a few lovely shops.
You can find everything from handmade handbags to antiques, a gentlemen's outfitter and a home industry shop. Buy a coffee and enjoy the atmosphere while imagining that you're in Paris.
If quaint shops aren't your thing you can visit the Vredefort Dome, a World Heritage Site created by a meteorite impact about 2023 million years ago, resulting in a crater about 300km wide (the distance from Johannesburg to Welkom).
Fun fact: Parys' Leeukop Quarry is the only place on earth where you will find pink granite, which is a direct result of the meteorite.
The dome is South Africa's 7th World Heritage Site and every year on the first weekend of November the Parys Dome Adventure Festival takes place. The fun outdoor festival offers craft stalls, adventure activities, sports and music.
You can't see the crater that well from the ground but you can still see interesting soil upheavals and rock formations, or even have a guide teach you more. If you're brave and you really want to get a good look at the crater you can also see it from up high while skydiving.
The Vredefort Dome: The largest and oldest meteorite site in the world – formed when a gigantic meteorite collided with the earth 200 million years ago. The impact opened up a crater about the size of Table Mountain, spanning 40 kilometres in diameter. Visitors are welcome to walk around the perimeter - wear shoes because it's hot underfoot.
Abseiling: Abseil down verticals rock faces at various points around The Vredefort Dome.
Birding: There are ample bird watching opportunities at Carryblaire River Retreat, a registered bird sanctuary featuring 450 species, including Goliath herons, paradise flycatchers, spotted eagle owls, cardinal woodpeckers, black-chested prinias, and fish eagles to name a few.
Whitewater rafting and kayaking: If you want a bit of adventure but you're not too fond of heights you can also try rafting. Parys is the only place along the Vaal where you can find rapids which makes it great for water sports enthusiasts.
Black Raspberry Picking: If you're a fruit fan you'd be interested to learn that South Africa's only black raspberries are found on a berry farm 20km from Parys. You can enjoy picking berries straight off the bush between March and November. Seventeen kilometres from Parys, near Venterskroon, you can also find the largest wild olive forest in South Africa.
Interact With Cheetahs: Animal lovers can't miss the Dell Cheetah Centre between Parys and the N1. The breeding center is aimed at conservation and you can learn about the animals while watching feeding time. If you are lucky, you will get the chance to feed the cubs as well as play with them.
Play A Round Of Golf: Golf lovers should definitely bring a set of clubs along and visit Golf Island - a special 9-hole golf course built across a 1919 suspension bridge.
The lodge offers farm-style accommodation in picturesque surrounds. The rooms are elegantly furnished and open plan with an ensuite bathroom (toilet, shower, and basin). There is a communal station where guests can make use of a microwave, kettle, crockery and cutlery.
For more info about the lodge, please visit their website.
For directions please have a look at Mountain View Estate's website under the contact page.

Q: Hibernate enum inserting starts from 0 should start from 1 Well when i use the enum type and insert into database all type values starts from 0 not 1. Any easy fixes the +1 is not good solution.
The Enum class
public enum ServiceRequestType {
    REGISTERED(1), REJECTED(2), DONE(3);

    int value;
    ServiceRequestType(int value) {
        this.value = value;
    }
}

Also the hibernate mapping.
    <property name="type" column="service_request_status_type_fk">
        <type name="org.hibernate.type.EnumType">
            <param name="enumClass">ee.ttu.support.model.domain.service.ServiceRequestType</param>
        </type>
    </property>

A: You can use java5 enum types. Check this link for perfect enum example with hibernate. Let me know if you have problems.

A: I believe the correct syntax is
public enum ServiceRequestType
{
    REGISTERED = 1, REJECTED, DONE
}

If you want to get the enum from int, you can do Enum.ToObject(typeof(ServiceRequestType), 1)

A: Well i did not find any easy solutions for this simple problem but here is one
public enum ServiceRequestType {
    REGISTERED, REJECTED, DONE;

    public int getIndex() {
        return ordinal() + 1;
    }
}

And when calling out use the .getIndex method
ServiceRequestType.REGISTERED.getIndex()

Home Locations Maryland Muslim women's voices in 'Unveiled' serve up tea and empathy
Baltimore Theatre Project presents Rohnia Malik's acclaimed solo play about being othered in America.
Lisa Traiger
Hot tea is the recommended beverage for viewing Chicago-based playwright Rohnia Malik's Unveiled, available online through January 2021 from Baltimore Theatre Project. The one-woman show introduces us to five gracious and outspoken Muslim women who serve up heart-filled, painful, and hopeful stories of their experiences of living in a post-9/11 world where simply wearing a hijab, the traditional female headscarf, can be dangerous.
But don't simply boil water and drop a Lipton teabag in a mug. Malik's Maryam claims that's not real tea. Real tea is an invitation to strengthen family relationships and friendships, a means to warm people up to share stories of love and loss, of pain, hatred, and prejudice, and of healing as the aromatic steam wafts upward.

Maryam offers up her own warm sweet tea invention — Chocolate Chai, sipped from a porcelain cup rimmed in gold. One of Malik's five female voices introduced over her 44-minute performance, Pakistani-born Maryam — named, she shares, for prophet Jesus' mother — is the most chatty. A dressmaker by trade, she calls herself an artist and reveals why wedding dresses bring up painful memories.
Each of these women has confronted suspicion, outright prejudice, hatred, even a horrific hate crime as a result of publicly wearing the hijab. Their stories, crafted by Malik, feel like personal one-on-one conversations. Noor's story is perhaps the most heartbreaking, and inspirational. A lawyer counseling a rape victim, she reveals her own shocking experience, her struggle with fear and depression, and, ultimately, her determination to beat back the demons. As she proffers a glass of Moroccan mint tea, Noor, which means light, glows with hard-fought grace as she repeats her mother's wise words: "Never say, 'Why me?' Say, 'What for?' … I have found my purpose in life."
Warned to remove her hijab after 9/11, Inez is adamant, until it's necessary. And even then we hear her ask Allah for forgiveness. But she looks straight into the camera, noting that intolerance for one becomes — as we all now know — intolerance for all: "This is every American's problem. Today's it's my rights…. Tomorrow it could be yours." Her Southern accent and smile belie the bitterness of the Middle Eastern coffee served at funerals, the coffee she drinks on the anniversary of 9/11 to remind her of the bitterness of that day and the burdens she carries as a brown-skinned woman who wears the hijab.
Rohnia Malik in 'Unveiled.'
A rapper with a working-class lilt from London, Shabana wears her toughness on her blue track jacket. Sipping Kashmiri chai, a liquidy pink concoction, she asserts that hip hop gives her power in a world where she feels she has no voice. And the veil? She owns it: "It's about modesty. This is my feminism…a statement of solidarity with my sisters."
Finally, Layla proudly acclaims her spot — the best Middle Eastern restaurant in the suburbs — where she serves up a glass of pale green sage tea and a post-9/11 confrontation as she's caught wearing a hijab in a crowd. "Get to know me. Get to know my community. Islam means peace … remove the veil from your heart. You see, I wear veil on my head but my heart, my heart is not covered."
Unveiled, which premiered in 2009, still feels current, even prescient. It has made its way to venues around the country over the years, drawing audiences of theatergoers, students, religious communities of all affiliations. You could call it "edutainment," but theater can and should make us think, perhaps change us, or a least cast an idea or individual in a new light.
The virtue of a one-woman show is the ease of bringing it to the virtual online environment. Here Director Sabeena Schmidt shot Malik in various rooms of a home providing warmth and familiarity — a kitchen table, a dining room, living room and porch — and allowing for a feeling of intimacy to invade the lens with sharp closeups and Malik's direct address to the camera. While she is not gifted with the malleable plasticity of Baltimore-native actress Anna Deveare Smith, who has raised the one-person show to a high art, Malik ably captures quirks and physical traits that bring her five characters to light. Using costumes, tempos, cadences, and accents, she's best at weaving a rich tapestry of Muslim women's voices into whole cloth. Listening to their sing-song accents, stories, and poetic incantations of verses from the Koran or from mother's advice reveals a worldview that most Americans have not encountered.
Theater — on stage or online — opens a doorway into lives and experiences of those who so often in our country would be called "other" or "outsider" or simply be ignored if not bullied and worse. Here we hear heard a painful plea from Layla, her voice breaking: "Get to know me. Hear me." Playwright/actor Malik has pained otherness into a multifaceted portrait of revealing parables that demonstrates the strength, fortitude, and hospitality of Muslim women — reminding those of us willing to step in the door, sit, and listen for a while that we are all sisters and brothers in this polyglot American nation. Malik's Layla offers one further bit of wisdom that we could all use to hear right now: "If you are not concerned about the suffering of others, you are not human."
Unveiled streams online until 12 noon ET February 1, 2021. To purchase a $20 ticket for viewing access, visit the Baltimore Theatre Project website.
