Movie Review – German Concentration Camps Factual Survey
April 16, 2015 by Simon Columb
German Concentration Camps Factual Survey
Directed by Sidney Bernstein
Edited by Stewart McAllister, Peter Tanner and Marcel Cohen with treatment advice by Alfred Hitchcock
An official documentary about German atrocities and the concentration camps compiled with footage shot by combat and newsreel cameramen accompanying troops as they liberated occupied Europe
Last year, Night Will Fall was released. Directed by André Singer, it documented the making of the film German Concentration Camps Factual Survey. While Night Will Fall looks back at the collection, editing and history of the footage, this is the film itself, as it was intended to be seen. Produced by Sidney Bernstein, GCCFS was intended to be screened in Germany after World War II to ensure the atrocities committed, in their name, was never forgotten. Though the vast majority of the film was completed (five out of six reels edited, narration scripted, etc) it was decided that, as the nation was being rebuilt, the last thing they needed was another reminder of the consequences of fascism. The Imperial War Museum, since 2008, has tried to reconstruct the film and only now is it released as it was intended. Slight inaccuracies remain, to ensure it is true to Bernstein's intentions, but they have added an informative prologue and epilogue to clarify these details.
It's a short film, but it's impact is on a par with Shoah and Night and Fog. As expanded upon in Night Will Fall, the footage captured here are the valiant efforts of soldiers and cameramen sent after the concentration camps were liberated. The sight they saw would change the world. They knew this and they shot sequences and scenes that actively sought to reveal the accuracy and deep truth behind World War II. Fascism was not merely domination and power – or the naïve sense of a fair society for all. It was a society of exclusion and hatred. German Concentration Camps Factual Survey opens with footage from Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will as Hitler addresses an enormous crowd of Nazi supporters. Many like to put Nazi's and the Holocaust into a box. They're simply "evil" and "not of this world". This opening immediately reminds you that, though not supportive of death camps, Hitler did have support from people who simply thought he'd make their country a better place. The cheers and Nazi salutes are easy to dismiss as a different time; a darker period in history. But it's not long ago, whereby only a few generations before our own, relatives could have been at this rally. Frankly, Time Magazine infamously supported him because readers must have believed him to be 'Man of the Year'. It is clear that Sidney Bernstein, not only wants to capture the truth of the holocaust, but he wants to clarify what led to it. What innocent actions were ignored or unknowingly supported to move in this direction. Prejudice leads to discrimination. Be wary of those prejudices poisoning your perspective.
With this in mind, from the rally, we cut to a German village. Narrator Jasper Britton (originally Trevor Howard, but alas, he didn't complete his narration) explains how this beautiful, quaint countryside holds more than cattle and carriages. He tells us that you can't ignore "the smell". This was the smell of burning-corpses from Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp. The footage from this point on is beyond description. Bodies are rubbery and are dragged across stony ground to mass graves. We see, amongst the thousands of people on screen, every stage of malnutrition. The skinny body that staggers into the light; the skinny body that lies on the ground – amongst thousands of others. After an extended stay in Bergen-Belsen, this key historical footage then moves to a different camp, Dachau. Then Buchenwald. Then Auschwitz. By the time we reach Majdanek, it is still the same horrific scene. Soldiers and Priests face the camera as evidence; a testament to what has happened.
Much of this footage has been used elsewhere, such as the epic World at War documentaries. But this is not skimming the surface; a catch-all doc' on concentration camps. This is the explicit – simply unbelievable – moment these death camps were found. Footage is from Soviet, British and American armies. The repetition of the same type of scenes is purposeful, and the inhuman lack-of-sadness as SS Guards are directed to dispose of bodies hints at their deeper demons. The final scenes return to crowds. Large crowds, akin to the Nazi support in Congress Hall at the start, queue endlessly down a rural road. Maybe some of those in this final crowd were in Nuremberg in 1934 – local townsfolk who could smell the death. This time they see bodies; rows and rows of men, women and children. This is the cost of fascism and the cost of ignorance. German Concentration Camps Factual Survey is an outstanding achievement.

Furious traders accuse council of running Southlands Centre into the ground to justify closure
The business centre is set to close after talks with a buyer for the site failed
James CainLocal Democracy Reporter
Furious traders claim Southlands Centre was "run into the ground" to justify its closure.
Small business owners who trade from the Southlands Centre Enterprise Zone have criticised Middlesbrough Council after they were told they would have to move out by September.
More than 50 tenants received a letter on Monday telling them of plans to "wind down" the venue over the next six months before shutting it for good.
The news came just 14 months after the council reassured the traders that the site would continue to operate as a business centre.
Today, traders said the council's consultation process had been a "scam" and accused the local authority of talking the centre down before using resulting decline in business to justify the closure.

Dave Brown runs Window Bevel Design, a decorative glass manufacturer and double glazing repair service.
He said: "The council says the enterprise centre isn't viable because it only has a 50% occupancy.
"I know for a fact that before they ever talked about this place closing down, it was running at 90% occupancy and was in profit.
"The businesses around me only started to vacate after the council started saying the future of the centre was uncertain.
"They made it unattractive to new businesses and then used those figures to justify closing it down."
Southlands Centre: Images from through the years of under-threat leisure centre
Heather Matthews runs Northeast Producers Travelling Theatre Company from her unit at the Southlands Centre.
She said: "The council says come and talk to us about the options - but there are no options.
"How can they say they haven't already decided what they're doing? They've just told us we have to be out by September - clearly their decision has already been made.
"I think it's disgusting that they've allowed people to come in and start up businesses knowing full well that they planned to close the centre.
"There's a lad who's set up a tattoo shop - he only did his place up two weeks ago - he's spent his life savings on it."

Jon Elliot, who runs his music school from the centre, said he stands to lose £8,000 after he spent thousands improving his unit on the understanding that he would be in the building until 2020.
"I was told to expect to be here for the next five years," he said.
"I spent nearly £20,000 and my business has only just started to pick up.
"At least £8,000 was on things like soundproofing the walls. I can't take that with me, it's gone.
"It's absolutely infuriating."
The full closure of the Southlands Centre will be considered by councillors next week .
A recommendation to wind down the centre's business operations over the next six months will be discussed after talks with a potential buyer failed.
Further work will then be carried out to find a new use for the Ormesby Road site with a further report due in September.
The development comes after the sports centre was closed last year to save Middlesbrough Council cash.
The authority said it will continue to work with tenants and local community groups to secure alternative arrangements.
It said £100,000 has been put aside to help businesses and says that 90% of firms have been contacted on a "one-to-one basis".
A council meeting will be held next Wednesday to discuss the closure plans.

I haven't posted anything to this site since 2011. My original intent with this blog was to feature music I liked and to stay close to the world of bands since it was what kept me creative for so many years. Well, time passes and priorities change. I'm going to try to give this another shot. Instead of just focusing on music, I'm going to try to just write about a variety of things. My main focus will be the arts and education, and at times I may get political. I don't know. But anyway, if anyone's out there, hope you'll tune in.

easyJet plc: Results of Placing
25 June 2020 . 3 min read
easyJet plc ("easyJet", the "Group" or the "Company"), announces the successful pricing of the non-pre-emptive placing (the "Placing") of new ordinary shares of 27 2/7 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") announced yesterday.
A total of 59,541,498 new Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") have been placed by BNP Paribas ("BNP Paribas") and Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited ("Credit Suisse") at a price of 703 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price"). BNP Paribas and Credit Suisse are acting as Joint Global Co-ordinators, Joint Bookrunners and Joint Corporate Brokers (the "Banks").
The Placing Shares represent approximately 14.99% of the Company's existing issued share capital and will raise gross proceeds of approximately £419 million. The Placing Price of 703 pence represents a discount of 5 per cent to the closing share price of 740 pence on 24 June 2020.
easyJet consulted with a number of its major shareholders prior to the Placing and has respected the principles of pre-emption through the allocation process. The Company is pleased by the strong support it has received from existing shareholders and others.
39,681,092 new Ordinary Shares will be issued under the Company's existing share capital authority (representing approximately 9.99% of the Company's existing ordinary share capital) (the "Firm Share Issuance"). Applications have been made (i) to the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") for admission of the Firm Share Issuance to the premium listing segment of the Official List; and (ii) to London Stock Exchange plc for admission of the Firm Share Issuance to trading on its main market for listed securities (together, "Initial Admission"). It is expected that Initial Admission will become effective on or before 8.00am on 29 June 2020.
19,860,406 new Ordinary Shares will be issued conditional on shareholder approval (the "Conditional Share Issuance"). As previously announced, the Company intends to convene a shareholder meeting, expected to be held on or around 14 July 2020, to approve the allotment of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Conditional Share Issuance. Applications will be made (i) to the FCA for admission of the Conditional Share Issuance to the premium listing segment of the Official List; and (ii) to London Stock Exchange plc for admission of the Conditional Share Issuance to trading on its main market for listed securities (together, "Subsequent Admission"). Subject to shareholder approval, it is expected that Subsequent Admission will become effective on or before 8.00am on 15 July 2020.
Completion of the Firm Share Issuance is not conditional on completion of the Conditional Share Issuance and therefore completion of the Firm Share Issuance may occur where the Conditional Share Issuance does not complete, whether by reason of a failure to obtain shareholder approval for that Conditional Share Issuance or otherwise.
The Placing Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and with the existing ordinary shares of 27 2/7 pence in the capital of easyJet, including, without limitation, the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.
Following Initial Admission, the total number of shares in issue in easyJet will be 436,889,225. The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury and, therefore, following Initial Admission, the number of voting shares in issue in easyJet will be 436,889,225. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. Subject to completion of the Conditional Share Issuance, the Company will make a further announcement regarding the total number of shares in issue, following Subsequent Admission, in due course.

The following text was taken from the updated Georgia Historic Bridge Survey.
The bridge carries a two-lane road over a track of the CSX Railroad, the former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The setting is rural with forests and scattered farms and residences. The bridge is on a bypassed section of old US 84/SR 38. The route was included in the original state highway system of 1919. It was upgraded to a gravel-surfaced road from 1923 to 1924 at which time this bridge was constructed to replace a grade crossing on an old alignment to the east of the bridge.
The skewed 5-span T beam bridge has concrete balustrades, paneled fascia, and 3-column concrete bent piers and spill thru abutments. The bridge is a well preserved standard design T beam bridge on a bypassed section of early 1920s state highway that retains its integrity of setting. The bridge is also one of the earliest state highway department sponsored grade elimination projects identified by the survey. The bridge has good integrity although portions of the balustrades have been damaged, and a section on the east side approach span has been replaced with two-rail high concrete railings. Because of its age and association with early state highway improvements in this region of the state, the bridge is historically distinguished from the fewer than 60 pre-1930 T beam bridges evaluated by the survey.
This bridge is actually over the CSX Bow Line, not Norfolk Southern, and it's a DOT bridge not a RR bridge.


Date fields give you a date picker, and optionally a time picker as well.
Date/Time fields let you choose whether you want to show the date, the time, or both.
When querying for elements that have a Date/Time field, you can filter the results based on the Date/Time field data using a query param named after your field's handle.
':empty:' that don't have a selected date.
':notempty:' that have a selected date.
'>= 2018-04-01' that have a date selected on or after 2018-04-01.
['and', '>= 2018-04-04', '< 2018-05-01'] that have a date selected between 2018-04-01 and 2018-05-01.
['or', '< 2018-04-04', '> 2018-05-01'] that have a date selected before 2018-04-01 or after 2018-05-01.
The atom filter converts a date to an ISO-8601 timestamp.
That will give you a DateTime object that represents the selected date, or null if no date was selected.
If you have an entry form that needs to contain a Date/Time field, you can create a date or datetime-local input.
The HTML5Forms.js polyfill can be used to implement date and datetime-local inputs while we wait for better browser support.
If you'd like to post the date and time as separate HTML inputs, give them the names fields[<FieldHandle>][date] and fields[<FieldHandle>][time].
The date input can either be set to the YYYY-MM-DD format, or the current locale's short date format.
The time input can either be set to the HH:MM format (24-hour), or the current locale's short time format.
Then refer to PHP's date() function docs to see what each of the format letters mean.

'Real Housewives' star Dorit Kemsley robbed at gunpoint in Beverly Hills home
According to the LAPD, three men who were wearing black hoodies and dark pants broke into the home at 10:50 p.m.
ByJoe Sutton, CNN, CNNWire
Dorit Kemsley, a star on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," was robbed at gunpoint in her Encino home, Eyewitness News has learned.
LOS ANGELES -- The home of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Dorit Kemsley was robbed Wednesday night.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, three men who were wearing black hoodies and dark pants broke into the home at 10:50 p.m. and robbed a victim.
The identity of the victim was not released by the police.
"The victim was in the residence at the time and was met by the suspects. The victim was in fear and complied with the suspects demands by directing them to valuables," according to an LAPD news release.
Video shot Thursday morning shows glass shattered at a sliding patio door that leads to the backyard.
"The suspects took handbags, jewelry, and watches with a significant monetary loss and fled the location in a black truck," the police said in a statement.
Marc Weinberg, a neighbor, told our sister station KABC he was left shaken by this happening in his otherwise quiet, safe community.
"This is right in your neighborhood... first it was kind of disturbing when I first found out about it because we didn't actually hear anything last night until we saw the trucks this morning and there was a helicopter making a lot of noise," Weinberg said.
Police are actively searching for the suspects and are requesting the help of the public.
CNN has reached out to Kemsley's publicists.
Kemsley is an entrepreneur and TV personality, according to Bravo TV's website. Her brand Beverly Beach makes affordable swimwear, athleisure and accessories. Recently, she released a collection of bridal gowns in collaboration with the Australian bridal designer, Nektaria, according to the website.

Family told it's the 'end of the road' on Cheryl Grimmer murder case1:33
The family of murdered toddler Cheryl Grimmer have been told it's the 'end of the road' in their long-running fight for justice. The New South Wales Attorney General has announced he will not intervene in the 49-year-old murder case of the Wollongong toddler. A suspect, who confessed to the murder in 1971, was due to face court earlier this month but walked free because a judge ruled his confession couldn't be used as evidence because he was underage when he made it. Cheryl Grimmer's family urged Attorney General Mark Speakman to revisit the case, but he decided against it on the advice that an appeal was likely to fail. Image: News Corp Australia

This post is part of a series called 3D Mixing.
In the final installment of the series, we are going to look at the final effects on the signal chain (Master EQ, Master Reverb, Master Limiter), and discuss the various final print options.
For EQ on the master bus, 'gentle' is the word of the day. By the time you are ready to even begin thinking about mastering, your frequency control should be almost, if not completely solid (one of the reasons I went back and did a bit of remixing in the previous chapter). The master bus EQ is meant to be a gentle and wide band EQ which balances overall frequency bands as opposed to individual sounds and instruments. It is a bit of a mental shift from mixing, but a necessary one all the same and a good one to practice.
In chronological order of how I came upon these settings (obviously do what works best for you), I first used a low shelving band to boost the bass a bit, then went and boosted the highs with a shelving band as well. I then boosted the main area of the melody (400-ish). I then realized the highs were too high (embracing trial and error, if you hadn't noticed, is essential) and switched the high shelving boost to a high shelving cut and moved it to effect just the very top of the spectrum. I then added a steep low cut to knock out the flabby sub-bass the low shelving boost had accentuated.
You can definitely hear how these minor changes have livened up the sound.
One of my favorite tricks in mixing as well as mastering is slapping a reverb on a bus to give subtle and wide depth information to either the group or, in this case, the entire track. This helps to place all sounds in a similar virtual space and widens the overall stereo field to produce a more robust and full sound. The thing to remember about reverb, again, is subtlety. Unless you are going for a special effect, reverb should be used sparingly so as to not overshadow the original sound.
Here I have simply put on Logic's Space Designer IR reverb with 100% dry and about 5% wet and set to a 1/4 note decay (500 ms in this case-good idea is to set your reverb to musical settings and so it decays before the next hit).
The amplitude envelope of the reverb.
I then went into the EQ section and rolled off both the top and bottom end. I have rolled off the bottom end substantially to keep the bass clear and not introduce too much level. I rolled off the top end moderately to increase the sense of depth (remember from the Reverb Tutorial that far away sounds lose high frequency content the further from the listener), and I also notched out some mid lows to keep things a bit more clear in that area.
The EQ section of the reverb.
The loop prior to bus reverb.
The track after bus reverb; thicker and deeper.
The final effect to put on the channel is the limiter. The limiter captures all transient information and allows you to compress the signal for absolute loudness. The limiter can also be used on various mix elements (the kick is often treated with limiting to help it punch through the mix), but it is always (in this day and age, anyway) placed on the master bus to maximize loudness and keep peaks at a consistent level. This is the stage where we can begin to think about peak vs. RMS levels within the overall track.
Logic's Adaptive Limiter has three main sections to be aware of. The input meter on the left tells us the amplitude of the incoming signal in real time. The middle section allows us to scale the input signal (used to greatly increase or decrease the input), increase gain and set the output ceiling. Finally, the output meter to the right shows us the output amplitude in real time.
Here we can see our input is peaking with 1.5 dB of headroom, therefore I do not need to use the scaling knob at all. I then set the output ceiling to -0.1 dB as that is the absolute loudest I want the track to reach (0 dB is theoretically the loudest I want it to go, but some room for error is usually a good idea). I then increase the gain by over the 1.5 input ceiling to get the limiter working and increase it slowly. Once things begin to sound obnoxious, I decrease slowly and only slightly to find a happy medium between loudness and musicality. Here I have settled on a moderate 4.6 dB.
The AdLimiter with the extended parameters showing. I increased the lookahead slightly from the default setting to get a more accurate response.
Finally, we want to put on another multimeter in order to look at our output to make sure we are not somehow missing something crucial. We can see from the second multimeter that we have a wide frequency range, have a good ovular stereo/phase image and have a difference of about 12 dB between the peak and RMS levels (anywhere from 6-15 dBs of difference is usually pretty good).
The frequency response curve and peak/RMS detector (on the right).
The goniometer showing stereo/phase information.
So, if you can remember way back, you'll no doubt recall that we are working with a 48K sample rate @ 24 bits. As such, we have to convert our final print to 44.1K and 16 bits which is CD standard and in doing so we are going to have to apply dither.
Dither is a complex algorithm which is applied to the audio file during bounce/print to minimize the quantization artifacts that sample and bit rate conversions impart. Without going too in depth (I may do so in a future article) what that means is that dither will add subtle amounts of noise to the file to hide the imperfections that the conversion process creates.
A good basic analogy to make sense of this process is to think about it in terms of the resolution of a photograph. If you convert a 300 dpi image to a 100 dpi image, it is going to look grainy due to the decreased resolution. If we were to subtly blur (add noise to) the 100 dpi image to hide the sharp corners of the grain this would decrease our ability to see the grain pattern and give a better final result than otherwise.
So, all said and done, we are going to have to try all of them.
You can see the different dither options Logic offers on the right.
They all sound about the same (and are made even more uniform during the necessary conversion to MP3 for internet publication) so picking a 'best' one in this instance is a fairly arbitrary decision. For some reason I am somewhat drawn to the UV dither option. From where I'm sitting it just sounds a bit more defined than the others, but obviously it is really up to personal taste and has even more to do with your personal listening environment.
Record in the highest bit depth and sample rate as possible.
Mix in the same bit depth and sample rate as you recorded in.
Convert your project to standard only once, and at only the final step. If you are sending to a mastering studio, let them do it.
If you are doing it yourself, audition each option available, if you are sending it out, make sure they give you different dither options to choose from.
That is about it for now, I may go back and get into more of the nuts and bolts of some of the topics I touched on earlier...Until then, thanks for sticking with me through this series and happy mixing!

The Moment Duff McKagan Chose to Escape Drugs
Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan discussed the moment when he chose to escape from drugs and fight back to health.
He was rushed to the hospital in May 1994, at the age of 30, after his pancreas burst as a result of his lifestyle choices. He'd accepted he was going to die – until his sick mom visited him and he made an instant decision.
In a newly-published clip from an episode of Sammy Hagar's Rock & Roll Road Trip TV show, McKagan said he'd run away from his family after they'd tried to stage an intervention in the hope of getting him off drugs. "[M]y body was failing. My hair was falling out. I didn't drink any water; I'd just drink alcohol," he said. "I literally didn't have a glass of water for 12 years, and I'm not kidding … I got to a point … where I just thought, 'Well, I guess I'm just gonna get to about 30, and that's gonna be it.'" When Hagar expressed horror at the thought, McKagan said: "But you're okay with it – you're in this state of mind; like, 'That's the way it is. Live fast, die young, fuck it.'"
He went on to recount how he'd woken up that May morning unable to move and barely able to breathe as his pancreas began to leak fluids into his other organs. "And my best friend, he said … I can clearly hear it to this day: 'Oh shit, it finally happened.' … So he got me to the emergency room. I just laid down on the floor, and they hit me up with morphine – and it didn't do anything. And that's when I knew I was in trouble, because I knew what morphine should be doing." He remembered his doctor's face had "gone white" after realizing how close to death his patient was. "They were gonna do surgery and I wanted them to kill me, because I couldn't take the pain," the bassist said.
What happened next initiated the big change. "My mom had Parkinson's at this point, and I'm the youngest son. She comes in in a wheelchair; she's crying, I got tubes coming out of me."
He thought: "The order of things is wrong here, man – I should be taking care of her. I fucked up, and I'm sorry; I'm gonna make it better.'"
On finally being released from hospital, he was told: "We have a rehab for you to go to." But he replied: "You don't understand. I'm fucking done." He added: "And my life changed 180 degrees from that moment."

Anastasia is de vierde aflevering van het eerste seizoen van de televisieserie Boardwalk Empire. De episode werd geregisseerd door Jeremy Podeswa. Anastasia werd in de Verenigde Staten voor het eerst uitgezonden op 10 oktober 2010.

Verhaal

Jimmy is in Chicago aangekomen. Tijdens een verblijf bij de prostituee Pearl ontdekt hij al snel dat zijn nieuwe collega, de impulsieve Al Capone, geen gewone jongen is. Maar de twee kunnen het goed met elkaar vinden, mede door hun recent gezamenlijk oorlogsverleden. Al snel krijgen Jimmy en Al ruzie met de Ierse misdaadbaas Charlie Sheridan. Wanneer Al vervolgens een grote mond opzet, laat Sheridan de prostituee Pearl zwaar verminken.

Nucky Thompson heeft het druk met het voorbereiden van zijn eigen verrassingsfeest. Hij is jarig en dat betekent dat heel wat belangrijke politici aanwezig zullen zijn. Het feestje is de uitgelezen kans om zaken te doen. Ook Margaret belandt op het feestje. In een mooie jurk, die ze in dienst van haar werkgever draagt, loopt ze Nucky tegen het lijf. Margaret is het tegenbeeld van Nucky's vriendin Lucy, maar dat weerhoudt hem er niet van om met haar te dansen. Even voelt ze zich als een prinses, maar wanneer Lucy vervolgens halfnaakt uit een grote taart springt, lijkt haar droom in duigen te vallen.

Ondertussen heeft Eli van zijn broer de opdracht gekregen om de moordenaar van een van Chalky's vrienden te zoeken. Eli begrijpt niet waarom hij zich moet bezighouden met de dood van een zwarte man, maar Nucky stelt dat hij bij de verkiezingen de stem van de 20% zwarten nodig heeft. Zijn zoektocht leidt hem naar een vergadering van de Ku Klux Klan. De leider wordt opgepakt en hard aangepakt door Chalky. Maar hij blijkt niet de dader te zijn.

Lucky Luciano is terug in Atlantic City. Wanneer hij Jimmy probeert op te sporen, ontmoet hij diens extreem jonge moeder Gillian. Lucky lijkt onder de indruk van haar en besluit haar te achtervolgen. Gillian geniet van de aandacht en geeft hem hoop.

Titelverklaring
Anastasia verwijst naar grootvorstin Anastasia Romanov. Na haar dood, die in mysterieuze omstandigheden had plaatsgevonden, beweerde Anna Anderson dat zij Anastasia was. Even kon Anderson de media overtuigen, maar al snel bleek haar verhaal niet te kloppen. Over deze gebeurtenissen leest Margaret in de krant.

De gebeurtenissen omtrent Anastasia zijn in deze aflevering ook van toepassing om Margaret zelf. Wanneer ze op Nucky's verjaardagsfeest in een mooie jurk mag dansen, voelt ze zich even als een prinses. Het is alsof een droom uitkomt. Even voelt ze zich belangrijker dan ze in feite is. De teleurstelling is dan ook groot wanneer ze nadien weer met beide voeten op de grond belandt. Ze hoopt haar eigen droom zo lang mogelijk vol te houden, hetgeen ze in verband brengt met het verhaal van Anna Anderson. Wanneer blijkt dat Anderson niet is wie ze beweert te zijn, stuikt ook Margarets droom in elkaar. Ten slotte besluit ze de mooie jurk, die haar aan het feest doet herinneren, te stelen.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands story trailer debuts at The Game Awards
A fantastical adventure full of magic, mayhem, and dragons.
Jennifer Locke
Source: 2K
A new trailer for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands debuted at The Game Awards 2021.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a spinoff from the main Borderlands series and brings backs Bunkers & Badasses from its Assault on Dragon Keep DLC.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands will release on March 25, 2022 for current and last-gen consoles.
The next adventure in the Borderlands franchise is releasing in a few short months, and Gearbox has debuted new footage of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands at The Game Awards 2021. Tiny Tina is back in a new game of Bunkers & Badasses, DMing a campaign where players take on the evil Dragon Lord.
For the first time in series history, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands will allow players to create their own character. Two classes that have been revealed so far include the Brr-Zerker and Stabbomancer, a brawler and assassin, respectively. As always, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands will support co-op, and the character creator should mean that even if two players are using the same class, they'll be different enough from one in meaningful ways.
Gearbox expects to release Tiny Tina's Wonderlands on March 25, 2022, pending any last minute delays (because that's the new normal nowadays). It's launching on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. Get ready for mayhem.

H.E. Mr. Shaikh Khalid Bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa, Minister for Foreign Affairs
KHALID BIN AHMED BIN MOHAMED AL KHALIFA, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Bahrain, said that anti-terrorism measures would not be effective if pursued under laws that contravened the principles of the United Nations Charter. Steps taken by the United States Congress in passing the "Justice against the Sponsors of Terrorism Act" would jeopardize international relations based on the principles of equal sovereignty of States and sovereign immunity. "It constitutes a dangerous precedent in relations between nations," he added, emphasizing that the law threatened the stability of the international system and adversely affected international efforts to combat terrorism.
All States with some leverage in relation to the Syrian crisis, notably the United States and the Russian Federation, must join efforts to reach a political solution and eradicate all terrorist organizations in the country, he said. In Iraq, it was important to persevere in efforts to restore State authority over the national territory. He went on to state that establishing peace in the Middle East remained contingent upon Israel's "admission that its security and stability can only be obtained if the same is guaranteed to the Palestinian people". He called upon the "coup d'état forces" in Yemen to refrain from action that hindered stability, saying his country stood directly with the Yemeni people. Efforts to build bridges with Iran had been met with "no serious response" from that country other than the fabrication of new problems and crises. "We still face Iran's attempts to jeopardize our security and social peace through support provided to groups and militias," he added.

Why you should read "Lives of the Stoics" by Ryan Holiday
Apr 8, 2021·5 min read
How to live a good life
Photo by Hans Reniers on Unsplash
The only reason to study philosophy is to become a better person. Anything else, as Nietzsche said, is merely a "critique of words by means of other words."
This quote from Ryan Holiday's book "Lives of the Stoics" summarizes perfectly the message you will find in the book.
According to the Stoics, life is about being a better person.
If you are here, you probably know already a bit about stoicism. Stoicism is the philosophy of having a personal ethic and an objective view on the world.
Of course, you can be a stoic without being a philosopher. It is a philosophy of life that focus on positive emotions while trying to avoid the negative ones. It helps individuals focus on the 4 fundamental virtues : Courage, Temperance, Justice and Wisdom.
So If you try to see the best in anything that happens in your life, you're a stoic. As simple as that.
But it's actually not so simple to act as a stoic. They are so many temptations around us. It's so easy to get angry or hateful when something bad happens to us.
That's where this book gives its true value. It is a beautiful history book about how stoicism was build. From ancient Greece to Marcus Aurelius.
But it does so by describing the life of each "Stoic" that somehow influenced this school of thinking.
Sometimes this influence was good, sometimes not and sometimes it's complicated. The chapters are mostly linear, with each new philosophers being either a student of the previous one or a successor (and often both).
You will discover 500 hundred years of history, between 300 BC and 200 AD. What is absolutely mind blowing is that many philosophers in this book didn't actually wrote anything that survived 2000 years to arrive to us. We know them mostly from what other people wrote about them.
And this illustrate one of the most important lesson of this book :
Stoics cared about you did, not what you said.
And history remembers what you did more than what you said.
A Tumultuous History
Stoicism has a very simple beginning. The philosophy starts in Athens, which was at the time one of the biggest and most vigorous commercial center of the world.
A guy named Zeno experienced a shipwreck and lost a fortune. But he chose to see the bright side and work on what he could do instead of complaining. He taught others about this mindset. And Stoicism was born.
Of course it's a bit more complicated than that but to be fair, not that much. Zeno's first successors then developed the philosophy and fought the concurrent school of thoughts.
The start is simple, but the development of Stoicism is not.
Everything became more messy when Rome came into play. The development of the Roman Empire greatly influenced Stoicism. But the opposite is also true, Stoicism influenced heavily the development of the Roman Empire.
At first Rome didn't want any philosophers in its walls. But soon it became impossible to stop the spreading of philosophy, and especially Stoicism.
Once Stoicism started to develop, it also stayed close to power. Very often you had stoic philosophers that were advisors to the emperor.
One of the saddest example of this is the relationship between Seneca and Nero. Nero being one of the most terrible emperor (and human being) of the time.
Seneca was his tutor and tried as best as he could to influence his pupil. But sadly it didn't work and Nero executed his plans without any regards for ethics. He assassinated his own mother and brother, made his old tutor kill himself and a lot of other atrocities that you can read in the book.
Sometimes though, the relationship is very beneficial. The best example of this is Junius Rusticus, who had Marcus Aurelius as his student. This relationship ended up with Marcus Aurelius being the Philosopher King. Not a perfect king, nor a perfect man. But one trying really hard to behave properly, according to ethics, wisdom and courage.
What blow me away is how Marcus Aurelius behave according to a strict ethic even though he suffered so many horrible things. He had 13 children but 8 died at a relatively young age. He was emperor when a terrible epidemy devastated the empire. And their was continuous wars happening at the same time against the German tribes.
He could have abused his power. He could have not cared about what was happening. A lot of other emperors did. But he chose to not do it. He lived according to his own principles and what he considers was good. No matter what.
That's part of what you can find in the book. A story of how tiny decisions made by simple people influenced history.
5 Things about Stoicism to learn from this book
1) What a stoic is
Through examples we can really learn a lot. This book is full of examples. And one of the best quote from it just simply and clearly states what a stoic is.
There is no better definition of a Stoic: to have but not want, to enjoy without needing.
Just meditate on this for a second. It's a truly wonderful way of living.
2) What a stoic can accomplish
Being a stoic or having a stoic friend can be a wonderful experience. Here is how Ryan beautifully describe what it's like to have a relationship with a stoic.
If you want the job done right, there's no one better to do it than a Stoic. If you want someone to aid you in your crimes and corruption, there's nobody worse.
It links to another great quote often used to describe a stoic.
No better friend, no worse enemy.
3) Being honest is the greatest value
Being an honest person is not always easy. Sometimes it can put you in dangerous situations or create you enemies. As the saying goes :
Doing the right thing could cost a person everything.
But not doing the right thing can be very costly as well. You will just have to pay yourself in regrets and shame.
Do the right thing. The rest doesn't matter.
4) A stoic can endure anything
Being a stoic can be seen as not such a fun situation. But it also has pros. Like inner peace.
The space between our ears is the only territory we can conquer in any kind of certain and enduring way.
You can always control your thoughts. It's not easy but it's always in your control.
The greatest empire is to be emperor of oneself.
5) Who you are doesn't matter
To be a good stoic and live a happy and fulfilled life you don't need to be rich. You don't need to have a special status or international fame.
You just need to have an idea on who you want to be and how you want to behave. And then do your best everyday to follow this path as best as possible.
There is no position so high or so low that it is not improved by the four virtues: justice, temperance, wisdom, and courage.
You are not going to be perfect. You will make mistakes along the way. But just trying is already a sign that you are heading in the good direction.
A French soul with a European heart. We can all learn from each other. Let's do that here.

Adient Lowers Emissions, Goals Approved by SBTi
Adient, an automotive seating manufacturer, reduced its global Scope 1 and 2 absolute CO2e emissions by 25% and its Scope 3 CO2e emissions by 12% as of Sept. 30, 2022 (using 2019 as its base year).
The company's emissions targets — a 75% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions at its manufacturing plants by 2030 and a 35% reduction in its Scope 3 emissions by 2030 were recently validated by SBTi, affirming Adient has established a clear pathway to achieving its emissions-reduction goals.
Adient continued to develop sustainable products through a more circular approach to product design, development and production using recycled and plant-based trim solutions. In fiscal year 2022, Adient completed approximately 1,200 continuous improvement projects at its locations globally that annually conserve:
6,092 metric tons of CO2e
16 million liters of water
25 kWh-equivalent of fuel
5,363 metric tons of waste
42 million kWh of electricity
As of Sept. 30, 2022, 14% of Adient's total electricity consumption globally is attributable to renewable sources and the company will continue investigating and transitioning to fossil-free electricity (e.g., wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, etc.) to decarbonize its operations further.
Details were provided in its 2022 Sustainability Report.
"We remain committed to following positive ESG-related business practices that help protect the environment, safeguard people, promote a culture of inclusion and create a better world," said Doug Del Grosso, Adient president and CEO in a statement. "This report illustrates the considerable progress we have made toward our ESG goals in fiscal year 2022 and highlights the hundreds of sustainability projects initiated by our teams as well as the many innovative sustainable products Adient has to offer."

"As the recent revolutions in the Middle East have demonstrated, civil society in this part of the world is on the move. The increasingly important role of non-state actors - a phenomenon of globalization- has characterized developments throughout the region, affecting the struggle for democracy and for peace. This volume brings together scholars primarily form the region to analyse the varied activities and contributions of NGOs, the private sector and the new media, from Morocco to Iran, along with the involvement of diaspora groups. The chapter on facebook in the recent Egyptian revolution captures the role of this new media while the study on similar technology in Iran outlines the barriers raised by the authorities in the current struggles there. Even the fledgling process of democratization in Saudi Arabia is driven by non-state actors while the veteran women's movements in the Maghreb serve as an example for the post-Arab spring era in those countries. Providing one of the first assessments of the role of non-state actors in the Middle East, this book will be essential reading for students of Political Science, Sociology and Civil Society, amongst others"--

9.1.5 Status, or: Your Help Needed
Guile has achieved much of what it set out to achieve, but there is much remaining to do.
There is still the old problem of bringing existing applications into a more Emacs-like experience. Guile has had some successes in this respect, but still most applications in the GNU system are without Guile integration.
Getting Guile to those applications takes an investment, the "hacktivation energy" needed to wire Guile into a program that only pays off once it is good enough to enable new kinds of behavior. This would be a great way for new hackers to contribute: take an application that you use and that you know well, think of something that it can't yet do, and figure out a way to integrate Guile and implement that task in Guile.
With time, perhaps this exposure can reverse itself, whereby programs can run under Guile instead of vice versa, eventually resulting in the Emacsification of the entire GNU system. Indeed, this is the reason for the naming of the many Guile modules that live in the ice-9 namespace, a nod to the fictional substance in Kurt Vonnegut's novel, Cat's Cradle, capable of acting as a seed crystal to crystallize the mass of software.
Implicit to this whole discussion is the idea that dynamic languages are somehow better than languages like C. While languages like C have their place, Guile's take on this question is that yes, Scheme is more expressive than C, and more fun to write. This realization carries an imperative with it to write as much code in Scheme as possible rather than in other languages.
These days it is possible to write extensible applications almost entirely from high-level languages, through byte-code and native compilation, speed gains in the underlying hardware, and foreign call interfaces in the high-level language. Smalltalk systems are like this, as are Common Lisp-based systems. While there already are a number of pure-Guile applications out there, users still need to drop down to C for some tasks: interfacing to system libraries that don't have prebuilt Guile interfaces, and for some tasks requiring high performance.
The addition of the virtual machine in Guile 2.0, together with the compiler infrastructure, should go a long way to addressing the speed issues. But there is much optimization to be done. Interested contributors will find lots of delightful low-hanging fruit, from simple profile-driven optimization to hacking a just-in-time compiler from VM bytecode to native code.
Still, even with an all-Guile application, sometimes you want to provide an opportunity for users to extend your program from a language with a syntax that is closer to C, or to Python. Another interesting idea to consider is compiling e.g. Python to Guile. It's not that far-fetched of an idea: see for example IronPython or JRuby.
And then there's Emacs itself. Though there is a somewhat-working Emacs Lisp language frontend for Guile, it cannot yet execute all of Emacs Lisp. A serious integration of Guile with Emacs would replace the Elisp virtual machine with Guile, and provide the necessary C shims so that Guile could emulate Emacs' C API. This would give lots of exciting things to Emacs: native threads, a real object system, more sophisticated types, cleaner syntax, and access to all of the Guile extensions.
Finally, there is another axis of crystallization, the axis between different Scheme implementations. Guile does not yet support the latest Scheme standard, R6RS, and should do so. Like all standards, R6RS is imperfect, but supporting it will allow more code to run on Guile without modification, and will allow Guile hackers to produce code compatible with other schemes. Help in this regard would be much appreciated.

Ryan Dorsey Gives Update on Son Josey Half a Year After Naya Rivera's Death
Jacklyn Krol Published: January 22, 2021
Ryan Dorsey gave an update on his and Naya Rivera's son Josey just six months after the actress's death by drowning.
On Thursday (January 21) on his Instagram page, Dorsey shared a photo of 5-year-old Josey showing off his new Panthers football merchandise.
"This little boy...man...I couldn't be any prouder of someone," Dorsey captioned the image, explaining how "at such a young age, he's endured more than anyone should at 5 years old."
"Without even fully realizing it, he lives the #keeppounding mantra every day with his [resilience]," Dorsey added, before addressing his son directly.
"You're so strong, so brave, and so kind. I will always be proud of you and we will always #keeppounding b/c that's all we can do."
Dorsey also shared that, much like the rest of the world in 2020, he had a tough year in 2020 that he and his son "will never forget."
"We think about it every day and I feel for you and vibrate alongside you on that frequency...I hope you can find some way to go on with your days, to persevere — no matter how hard it is," he concluded.
A week ago, on January 12, Rivera would have celebrated her 34th birthday. Last Tuesday, Dorsey shared an image of the family together: "Just as surreal as it is real that you're gone. If that makes sense, but none of this still makes any sense...34... I could just hear you saying 'Ah, I'm old AF now!' Ha... Rest easy old lady..."
Rivera died on July 8, 2020 at the age of 33.

Q: the group acts faithfully on the line Let $G$ be a group. $G$ acts faithfully on the line $\mathbb{R}$ by orientation preserving homeomorphism, then does it imply $G$ is left ordered, i.e. there is an order $<$ on $G$, and if $a<b$, then $ac<bc$ for $c\in G$? Thanks in advance.

A: Theorem 1. The group $H=Homeo_+({\mathbb R})$ (of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the real line) is left-orderable. In particular, every subgroup $G<H$ is also LO.
Proof. Let $\{x_i: i\in {\mathbb N}\}$ be a countable dense subset of ${\mathbb R}$. For distinct elements $f, g\in H$ let $n$ be the least integer such that $f(x_n)\ne g(x_n)$ (such $n$ always exists of course). Then set
$$
f<g
$$
iff $f(x_n)<g(x_n)$. It is then immediate that $<$ is a left order on $H$. qed
A partial converse to this theorem is also true:
Theorem 2. Every countable LO group $G$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $Homeo_+({\mathbb R})$.

Artell: "We Are Capable Of That"
David Artell was delighted with his side's fantastic first half performance after they scored four goals before the 35 minute mark and he admits that he would have learned a lot from our second half display after Carlisle United changed and came more into the game.
Four goals to the good at the break meant that as a contest it was all but over but Artell says his team would have learned a great deal from the way Carlisle began to get a foothold in the game.
The Alex boss told crewealex.net: "The first half was good. Any manager who sees his team score four goals in 45 minutes has to be happy and I am no different. They are capable of that.
"They came out and made some changes in the second half and we found it a bit more difficult but we helped them as well.
"I am sure the fans would have gone home happy even though the second half was not as special as the first half.
"I am sure there were Carlisle fans here, who haven't seen anything like that this season and they will appreciate the football we played.
"We scored some great goals. Chuma's finish was terrific. Daniel Powell has scored two great finishes and Callum's header was terrific. He showed real bravery but they don't tend to hurt when they go in.
"When you come in 4-0 up at half time, you just have to say same again and that is not actually much you can do tactically, especially when we were so dominant.
He added: "It was a good learning curve for us in the second half and I am actually pleased that it happened at 4-0 up. It was the same at Stevenage and we develop when we are winning too."


Hot plates (or Magnetic stirrer) are electronic devices used to uniformly heat the liquid with or without stirring it. The principle of working is same as in the one used in a kitchen, its usage is in chemistry and biology lab. A stir bar (or beads or 'flea') is immersed into the liquid and the device generates a magnetic field which causes the bar to rotate and thereby generating a vortex stirring the liquid. The temperature of the hot plate and the frequency of rotation (rpm) can easily be adjusted manually. The device is available in multiple dimensions. The manufacturer/supplier provides an operation manual with all specifications details. Calibration and application details can be seen in the manual.
Commercial Hot Plates are available with digital display, corrosion resistant plate, rotation frequency range 100 to 1000 rpm.

For American ex-pat Kris Schackman and his Austrian partner Sophie Weigensamer, coffee is a serious business. For their hugely successful Berlin café Five Elephant Coffee they source directly from farmers, roast the beans themselves on-site and meticulously measure water filtration to achieve the perfect brew. Since opening Five Elephant in 2010, the duo have become part of a dynamic coffee scene in Berlin, and now sell their coffee to several other cafés in the city, not to mention they can boast another outpost of their own in the recently opened 25Hours Bikini Berlin Hotel. And it's not just the coffee that draws customers back again and again. Their Philadelphia-style cheesecake has become so highly sought after that non-locals flock to the neighborhood of Kreuzberg just for a taste of this creamy wedge of joy. ANDIE CUSICK
Kris and Sophie, could you tell us about coffee in Berlin?
It's so exciting to see quality coffee catch on here in Germany and Europe. When we opened in 2010, I could count the roasteries on one hand that were roasting coffee we really liked. Today there are so many more who are focusing intensely on quality. It's nice to see it start to mature and for us all to now be able to have a common dialogue with our customers about coffee.
Tell me about yourselves and how Five Elephant came about.
Sophie: Kris is originally from Massachusetts. After studying communication in film at UMASS, he moved to New York City where he worked as a location manager and director for movies and commercials.In 2008 he moved to Berlin, where he produced and directed a comedy show before we decided to open Five Elephant together in December 2010.I grew up in Vienna, Austria, and started to work as a stylist and makeup artist for fashion and commercial photography after school. In 2003 I decided to move to Berlin where I kept working as a makeup artist for music videos and TV commercials.Around 2006 I started to bake homemade cakes for two cafés in Berlin. After a few years the request for cakes got so high that we decided to combine it with roasting coffee, starting Five Elephant.
Where in Berlin do you live and work?
Kris: Sophie and I live three blocks from the cafe/roaster in the Kreuzberg area of Berlin. Sophie has been here for about 10 years and me for six. It's in the corner of the old West Berlin, basically surrounded by the former East. The people here are great and we have a truly diverse customer base and neighbors.
What do you look for when sourcing beans?
Our philosophy leads us to work with producers on a continual basis, year after year, when we can.What this allows us to do is to understand the region and microclimates of a producer's farms. We look for a clarity of terroir, much like you would with wine. Each origin offers a remarkably different flavor characteristic. For example, over-fermented and pulped flavors can give off an ammonia-like cherry ferment flavor that is pungent and too fruity. At the moment we are very much into crisp, clean, and transparent flavors… clean and complex in more subtle ways. That is not to say that this is what we will always looks for—as with wine, there are constantly new ways of production and experiencing coffee and for that we like to keep an open mind.
Could you tell us about some of the coffee farms you work with?
We have close relationships with a collective in Brazil called Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza, which is led by Marcos Croce and his two sons Daniel and Felipe. Marcos' wife Silvia Barretto owns the farm and is working hard on organic coffee processes there. One of the members of this collective, Joao Hamilton and Ivan Dos Santos own a small farm called Sítio Canaã, which has been producing remarkable naturally processed coffee; we are leaving this week for São Paulo to visit the farm again and cup this year's harvest for our selections.
In Ethiopia we have been buying coffees called Bifdu Gudina and Wote. They are a blend of hundreds of farmer's small lots of coffees and we work with a green coffee buyer who has someone tasting all the coffee coming out of the cooperatives or private mills so we can consistently secure great coffee, which is difficult to do in Ethiopia.
In El Salvador we work with the mill Las Cruces, which is owned by Jose Antonio Salaverria and run by his two sons Andres and Jose Antonio Jr; they are producing some of the best quality coffee in the region. Also in El Salvador we work with Guillermo "Epe" Alvarez and his farm Malacara; he never had coffee for us until this year, when he sent us some rare African variety he has been growing in El Salvador.
Besides these farms, we have also been buying from Burundi, Kenya and from Costa Rica.
How do you recommend drinking coffee—from grinding beans, press/brew options through to serving?
Kris: Almost room temperature filter coffee, prepared with a Hario or Kalita, is the best for me although both Sophie and I enjoy cappuccinos in the morning sometimes. We have been using an EK43 grinder in the shop for filter coffee and some espresso shots and with this grinder you can extract a lot more of the coffee and it tastes really great. With the same extraction on another grinder, it would suffer. Coffee is like that: You experiment and see what works by how it tastes.
Now about that cheesecake: why cheesecake and where did this recipe stem from?
Sophie: Cheesecake… Kris' mother gave us this recipe shortly after we opened in 2010. It was from Kris' grandmother who used to bake the cake when he visited Philadelphia growing up. She used to make it twice a thick as my adjusted recipe. It's a Philadelphia regional style, which is much fluffier than the New York style.The cake kinda got out of control in popularity; we are all still surprised to see how many people come in and take photos of themselves eating it!
What are your favorite places to go to in Berlin when you're not working?
Kris: We both like it out at Grunewaldsee; we walk around and look at what we like to call Doggie Heaven. There are a lot of dogs there and it's just relaxing to watch them. We also like jogging around the amusement park at Treptower Park. But our favorite thing in the summer is to go to a lake about 45 minutes north of Berlin that has some of the clearest water I've ever seen. There's lots of swimming there and it's in the forest, so it sort of reminds me of home in Massachusetts.
And what's next for Five Elephant?
We just expanded our roastery with the addition of our CR25 Diedrich roaster, so our capacity has grown quite a lot. And with quite low international shipping costs our sales have grown… we are amazed to see where people are buying our coffee from! In the past week alone, we have printed out postage for Taiwan, Turkey, Panama… people are all somehow finding us.

Statement: Face Death explores the way in which the deceased are depicted in public in Bulgaria. What I found most interesting was that the image that ended up being used as an obituary was not intended with this purpose when it was taken. Most Images have deteriorated which made me wonder whether their friends and family have forgotten to print new ones or have simply coped with their grief and don't consider it necessary. I'm western society we avoid thinking about death and live as if we'll be here forever, which is not the case. Initially the project was going to be about people that have died before their parents as this is rare and unnatural.
What university did you attend and when did you graduate? I attended The Arts University Bournemouth and graduated in 2015. Currently I'm pursuing an MA at The University of Westminster.
What is your favourite photobook by another photographer? I'm a big fan of the books by Sophie Calle and the ways she incorporates photography to document her performances. If I have to choose one book it will probably be A Shimmer of Possibility by Paul Graham, which will soon be reprinted by MACK. It was announced as the best photo book of the last decade and it was ground breaking in its format - it comprises of ten individual books, some of which contain a single scene photographed moments apart.
Direction: I've been fascinated by books for as long as I can remember. Having grown up in the 90s without mobile phones, I see a photo book as a reprieve from the digital world, a tactile physical object that doesn't require a screen or battery to be experienced. They're fairly inexpensive, easy to store and can be found in any good bookshop. I read somewhere that a photo book is an exhibition on your book shelf that you can experience over and over again whenever you wish. I have considered both contacting publishers and self-publishing a book and they both have their pros and cons. With a publisher you benefit from their years of experience as well as contacts and reputation whereas with self-publishing you have no restrictions when it comes to decision making.
Considerations: There are many factors to consider when making a book but the first decision to make is whether the book form actually suits the project. Many artists make books because they're easily accessible, affordable and make their work known to the wider public, which are all legitimate reasons, but some work is simply better suited as a framed photograph on the wall instead of a book. Once you've decided to make a book you have to consider size, format, what paper to use, design, whether to include text, etc. It helps if you collaborate with other people who are more experienced in this field, such as graphic designers and curators, they have a different eye from photographers. A recent trend is making a standard edition in the roughly £50 price band and a print edition, which comes either in a slip case or a box with a signed print and generally costs £250 or so. A nice little touch is to have the cover embossed with a tipped-in image, but there's no template to follow that would suit any book, every project is individual and has its own visual requirements.
Interior: I consider the layout of a book as language - it needs to flow naturally and have visual grammar and punctuation. Whether to include text or not is an important decision as it can completely change the perception of the work. I asked a professional photography writer to introduce my work as I felt it needed a bit of context to explain what the images actually are. Other than that I followed a very simple layout - blank page on the left, image on the right - with only three exceptions where the image was on the left and the page on the right was black. I made two variations of the book, one with black and one with red end papers and even a subtle change like this could change the mood of the book. It's not paginated as I felt it was unnecessary, I prefer non-paginated art books, page numbers are for magazines and novels.
Inspiration: Alex Soth and Paul Graham are a huge inspiration when it comes to photo books. Stephen Gill as well, as far as I know he starts a project with the idea that it will end up as a book, which influences the work itself. Anouk Kruithof is another contemporary artist who is incredibly playful with her book making - she is self-published, which means that she's rarely restricted by publishers' demands and has a free reign when it comes to ideas. She has made large-scale newspapers, books that are loose sheets and can be rearranged by the viewer, etc. Her work is somewhere between photography and sculpture with the book acting as a document of her performance and becoming a sculpture in its own right.
Advice and Future Goals: I used to work for Hotshoe Magazine and the editor introduced me to many helpful people within the publishing industry, himself and his wife being one of them. It's important to know what questions to ask and there will be someone who can help. It's difficult to self-publish your book, but I believe that's the way forward nowadays - you can fund the book before it's printed via Kickstarter. Most books are printed in Italy and the quality is amazing - it's very easy to find good designers, printers and book binders, marketing is the hard part. If you enter the work into competitions and get it featured in magazines and journals, you make people aware of it. After this when they see it as a book they'll be familiar with it and more likely to support it. Currently my work focuses on abstraction and I think the work would make a beautiful book - full bleed, uncoated smooth paper, every page filled with an image. Sort of a visual overload similar to Masahisa Fukase's Hibi published by MACK.

Braulio Evaristo Carrillo Colina (* 20. März 1800 in Cartago, Costa Rica; † 15. Mai 1845 in San Salvador, El Salvador) war von Mai 1835 bis Februar 1837 und von Mai 1838 und April 1842 Staatschef von Costa Rica.

Leben

Herkunft und frühe Laufbahn
Seine Eltern waren María de Jesús Colina Gutiérrez und Benito Carrillo Vidamartel. Carrillo studierte Rechtswissenschaft an der Universität von León (Nicaragua) und wurde Präsident und Richter des obersten Gerichtshofes.

1828 wurde er Abgeordneter des Parlaments der Provinz Costa Rica. Für kurze Zeit war er Präsident des Provinzialparlamentes. Ab 1834 war er Abgeordneter des Parlaments der Zentralamerikanischen Konföderation in San Salvador.

Jefe de Estado

Erste Präsidentschaft
Staatspräsident Rafael Luis José de Gallegos y Alvarado, der im März 1833 gewählt worden war, reichte im Juni 1834 sein Rücktrittsgesuch ein. Von Juni 1834 bis 4. März 1835 war Agustín Gutiérrez Lizaurzábal für Gallegos stellvertretend, geschäftsführender Jefe de Estado. Das Parlament nahm am 4. März 1835 seinen Rücktritt an und widerrief am 6. März seine Wahl zum Präsidenten. Mit der Annahme des Rücktrittes war vom 4. bis 18. März 1835 Juan José de Lara y Arias aus Salamanca (* 1780) Jefe de Estado. Vom 18. März bis 5. Mai 1835 war Manuel José Fernández Chacón geschäftsführender Jefe de Estado. Als das Parlament am 6. März 1835 die Wahl von Gallegos widerrief war damit seine Stellvertretung ebenfalls annulliert. Am 5. Mai 1835 wurde Braulio Evaristo Carrillo Colina Jefe de Estado für den Rest der Amtsperiode, die bis 1837 lief.

Im September und Oktober 1835 fand der Guerra de la Liga statt.

1836 verringerte er die Feiertage. 1836 sah sich die Regierung Braulio Carrillo Colina von costaricensischen Migranten aus Nicaragua angegriffen. Seine Regierung förderte den Anbau von Kaffee.

Bei den Wahlen zum Jefe de Estado 1837 war Braulio Carrillo Colina Kandidat, gewählt wurde Manuel Aguilar Chacón.

Zweite Präsidentschaft
Braulio Carrillo Colina stürzte Manuel Aguilar Chacón im Mai 1838 durch einen Staatsstreich. Nachdem er die bestehende Verfassung gebrochen hatte rief er zu einer verfassungsgebenden Versammlung auf.
Diese verfassungsgebende Versammlung erklärte im November 1838 die Trennung von Costa Rica von der Zentralamerikanischen Konföderation.
Die verfassungsgebende Versammlung unterbrach ihre Sitzungen im Dezember 1838, damit eine Kommission eine neue Verfassung ausarbeiten sollte. Als die neue Verfassung im April 1839 vorlag trat diese verfassungsgebende Versammlung nicht mehr zusammen.

Als 1840 José Francisco Morazán Quezada mit dem Schoner Izalco nach der Niederlage gegen José Rafael Carrera Turcios in Costa Rica Station machte, gab Carrillo einigen Liberalen, aus dem Gefolge von Morazán, Asyl. Dazu gehörten Pedro José Antonio Molina Mazariegos, dessen Sohn, Felipe, José Irungaray, dessen Sohn Manuel Irungaray, Carlos Salazar Castro, der Priester Isidro Menéndez, die Generäle Enrique Rivas und Indalecio Cordero, José Miguel Saravia, Nicolás Espinoza, die Oberste Gerardo Barrios, Máximo Cordero Mariano Prado Baca und der Capitán José María Cañas Escamilla. Später kamen Doroteo Vasconcelos Vides, der bald wieder ging und Oberstleutnant Manuel Ángel Molina Bedoya. Carrillo gab diesen Exilanten teilweise hohe Vertrauenspositionen. Menéndez beauftragte er mit der Redaktion von Verwaltungsvorschriften. Felipe Molina, Isidro Menéndez, Filadelfo Benavente und Joaquín Rivas beauftragte er damit, im Staat ein Polizeiwesen, ein Ordnungsrecht und ein Justizwesen aufzubauen. Enrique Rivas betraute er mit dem Kommando von Puntarenas, dem Oberstleutnant Molina gab er das Kommando über Guanacaste. Die Direktion der Polizei gab er Oberstleutnant Pardo. Die Kommandantur von Moín gab er an Capitán José María Cañas. Auf die Zusicherung von Oberst Vicente Villaseñor gab er aus dem Staatshaushalt 2.000 Pesos an Gerardo Barrios, damit dieser in der Hacienda von Las Alajuela eine Indigoplantage anlegen sollte mit dem Ziel diese Pflanze in Costa Rica einzuführen.

1841 dekretierte Braulio Carrillo Colina ein Ley de Garantías, mit welchem er sich seine diktatorische Rolle auf Lebenszeit als notwendig zur Entwicklung von Costa Rica bestätigte.

Sturz und Exil
Die zahlreichen Feinde von Carrillo riefen Morazán über General Pedro Bermúdez von Peru.
Morazán schiffte sich im März 1842 in Valparaíso an Bord der Coquimbo ein und segelte mit der Brigg El Cruzado über Chiriquí, Panama.

Am 7. April 1842 erreichte Morazán die Bucht von Caldera 30 Kilometer südlich von Puntarenas mit den Schiffen Cruzador, Asución, Granadia, Isabel II, Josefa und Cosmopolita.
Sie kamen von der Insel von der Isla Martín Péres im Golf von Fonseca. Morazán wurde von 400 Soldaten und den Generälen Isidoro Saget, José de la Trinidad Francisco Cabañas Fiallos, José Miguel Saravia, Máximo Cordero, Nicolas Espinosa, Francisco Ignacio Rascón (Rascou), Joaquín Rivera Bragas, Oberst Blas Brusual, Oberst Alejandro Escalante begleitet Leutnant Ceferino Escalante.

Als Carrillo von der Invasion erfuhr gab er die Präsidentschaft an Manuel Antonio Bonilla Nava seinen Stellvertreter ab und ließ ihr Oberst Vicente Villaseñor mit nahezu 1.000 Mann entgegentreten. Villaseñor und Morazán einigten sich am 11. April 1842 in Jocote Guanacaste.

Carrillo ging ins Exil nach El Salvador. Im Mai 1845 wurde er in San Vicente ermordet.

Gedenken
Der Parque Nacional Braulio Carrillo liegt zwischen den Provinzen Limón und San José

Am 28. März 1987 wurde die Autopista Braulio Carrillo, welche San José mit Limón verbindet, eröffnet.

If you travelled with Eurotunnel Le Shuttle during the festive December period, you'll be well aware of all the exciting Christmassy activities we had going on in both the Victor Hugo terminal in Folkestone, and the Charles Dickens terminal in Calais. We had visits from Father Christmas's beautiful reindeer and some of his elves, who put on a whole host of fun activities such as letter writing to Father Christmas and decorating gingerbread men.
We had a special treat in store, however, for those of you lucky enough to be travelling on the 23rd of December. Father Christmas himself took time out of his busy Christmas schedule, and came down to our terminal to take a special ride on Le Shuttle and hand out chocolate coins to all the boys and girls.
One of Father Christmas's top elf helpers, called Tinsel, also came along and helped him to hand out his chocolate coins, and spread Christmas cheer. All the boys and girls on-board Le Shuttle we absolutely delighted to meet Father Christmas on his surprise visit.
Both Father Christmas and Tinsel had an amazing time meeting all the boys and girls, working their way down the carriage, high-fiving the children as they passed. Father Christmas even got to meet a super cute dog on board Le Shuttle!
Everyone on board Le Shuttle had a blast, and it was the most magical start to Christmas for all the little boys and girls. It's not every day that you get a surprise visit from Father Christmas, after all!

Q: what does a tool like Jasper Reports/report generator gives me? Ok, So I have to generate very complex reports from my DB.
If I am to do it with SQL the query themselves will be complex, and I will have to do some more manipulation on the results later, code level.
How do libraries like Jasper Reports/ Crystal Reports and friends save me time when developing such reports?
What will they give me?

A: These tools may not necessarily save you that much time writing the SQL, but they will give you a nice clean presentation of the data for your customers.

A: When it comes to writing the query, they won't give you much. Some of the Business Intelligence tools out there (although none of the open source ones I know of) give you infrastructure for point and click queries. A developer still has to do the hard work of setting them up, especially for complex queries, to provide a view of the data that is simple enough for the user.
What these tools do give you is an engine to take care of a lot of the presentation issues, such as formatting, page breaks, converting to multiple formats (HTML, PDF, etc), running, storing and retrieving the reports and other things in that area.

A: What ever tool you are using to generate reports, you got to write your complex SQL or define the views out of your data to generate the reports. The benefit of using the tools is

*

*Can generate multiple type of report formats (PDF, EXCEL, TEXT..)

*Eliminates a lot of routine chores like setting date/time stamps, header formatting..

*Maintains consistency across multiple report pages which is generally a bit hard to acheive

*Creates a template layout which can be reused and some fancy functions like sub reports and easy type conversions in some cases..

*etc...

A:
If I am to do it with SQL the query themselves will be complex, and I will have to do some more manipulation on the results later, code level.

Jasper could be very effective in manipulating the data before/during generating the report. By design, every variable, parameter or field in JasperReports could be a Java expression, imagine the possibilities.

How do libraries like Jasper Reports/ Crystal Reports and friends save me time when developing such reports?

Both Jasper and Crystal give you the ability to extract the fields from the query, Jasper also gives you abilities like extracting fields from XML or JavaBeans. (i dont know about Crystal)

What will they give me?

Those two are very good tools for making reports, i have made very complicated reports on Jasper, so the tools themselves are very advanced, its how you will use them that counts.

A: As others have said, what these tools give you is an link between your data and how you want to display it - be that a listing, chart, cross tab (grid of summarized values) etc, with options for your own parameters, calculations and queries.
If you are embedding your reports in your application, I'd say your selection of a reporting platform gets down to what technology are you comfortable with. For Microsoft, look at Crystal. For Java, look at JasperReports and iReport.
JasperReports does have sub reports.
Sherman
Jaspersoft (company behind JasperReports)

A: If you mean complex as in the data and manipulation, then code-level systems like Jasper and Docmosis will let you manipulate the data in code as well as in the query.  You can combine the best of SQL with the best of code algorithms to get your report data ready.  This will save you time if maintaining simple SQL + simple code is better in your environment than maintaining complex SQL.

A: It depends on your company and your skills.  If you're in a small environment where you control everything, have access to anything, can download and install whatever you want, and you are a programmer and Reporting is more of an annoyance, Jasper has a lot of options. You need to do the hard work yourself, but you have the capabilities to do it.
But if you are in a company, like many people are, where the DBA controls the database, the SysAdmin controls the servers, you can't download and install whatever you want, things need to be checked in, tested, approved, etc, Reporting is something people need now, not after you figure out a way to code something that Jasper Doesn't offer, and your job is more a part of Reporting and Analysis over programming, then Jasper is a horrible tool.
Plus, like it or not, the other tools have far more support and help. Jasper is a bit useless when it comes to simple help. Search all the Jasper Forums. Look at any other forum about Jasper. Most questions go unanswered.  And if you post something, it's very likely your question will never be answered. Or the answer isn't close to what you need.
It's a double edged sword. Jasper gives you a lot of freedom, but a lot of it is a bad tool to use for the real corporate world.  Unless you have a job where you don't do much all day, Jasper takes too long for simple things to get done.  If it's about getting reports to the right people at the right time, stay away from Jasper.  Nobody really has the time or understanding to sit and figure out a work around and write up some code if a report needs to be done yesterday.  End users don't care.  It's the age old problem. It's built for techies, not for users.  And the Reporting world is more about the users than the techies.

A: It's hard to say with the not so detailed info you provided, but I have 14 years experience with Crystal Reports and can tell you that it's very powerful. You can manipulate the resulting dataset in Crystal Reports in many ways. Crystal Report has a very decent internal program language to do this. And then you'll have subreports, which will save your day if it get hard.
I never found a report builder that can math Crystal Reports, especially looking at it's low price. If money isn't the problem then you can also look at List & Labels, www.combit.net.

A: One major thing Crystal Reports gives you is the ability to do Subreports--that is, multiple, related queries that return nested result sets.  This can really simplify the individual queries your write.  Take a look at http://vb.net-informations.com/crystal-report/vb.net_crystal_report_subreport.htm
