June 10 – July 17
MARGATE, FL: Kevin Black's The Soul of Motor City, which will open at Stage Door Theatre on June 10th and run through July 17th, is the happy realization of a personal goal for the multi-talented director/choreographer.
"After 25 years of directing and producing shows that have played all over the world, I finally have the opportunity to create a show featuring my absolute favorite style of music, the songs from The Motor City – Detroit!" he explains.
"Those great songs – classics like "What's Going On", "Ain't Too Proud To Beg", and "Can't Get Next To You" couldn't have originated anywhere else but in Detroit – a city that may be known for the start of the American automotive industry, but will forever be remembered for its unmistakable sound.
Kevin Black
"Starting in the early 50s, soulful music came pouring out of basements onto the streets of Detroit," he continues. "Young singers were forming groups that would become known to the world as The Four Tops, The Temptations, The Marvelettes, The Jackson Five and The Supremes; multi-talented artists like "Little" Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Mary Wells, Smokey Robinson, and even The Queen of Soul herself – Ms. Aretha Franklin – all got their start in Detroit. The tunes that came out of The Motor City were timeless songs that have impacted generation after generation. Although they're often remembered as "feel-good" dance hits, The Soul of Motor City focuses on the lyrics of these now classic tunes.
"As Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell put it so succinctly – "Ain't Nuthin' Like The Real Thing." And the six performers in The Soul of Motor City are the real thing!"
The cast of The Soul of Motor City includes Mimi J, whose performance in Black's recent production of On the Radio at Stage Door had audiences on their feet every night, Jar'Davion Brown, Gabrielle Graham, Joshua Graham, Elijah Word, and Alexandria Lugo who has received glowing reviews for her work in Putting It Together, now playing in Stage Door's Theatre 1.
Kevin Black is the owner of Kevin Black Productions, a global company providing entertainment to cruise lines, corporate events, resorts, musical theater productions, and tours. Kevin's extensive cruise line work includes costume design, choreography, production, and direction on Norwegian, Saga, Royal Caribbean and Asuka Cruise Lines. Corporate clients include HP, Motorola, Muvico, and Giorgio Armani; tours include original works – Cirque style shows, as well as musical theater productions including La Cage Aux Folles, The Jazz Singer, Smokey Joe's Café, Funny Girl, Victor/Victoria, Cabaret, and Dreamgirls. Kevin's work can currently be seen at the Villa de Palmar Resorts in Cabo, Mexico. His most recent work includes Laffing Matterz at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts; 8 Track, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, and Rags at The Plaza Theatre in Manalapan, Florida; What's New Pussycat?, On The Radio, A Chorus Line, Promises, Promises, Pompadour, and Evita at The Stage Door Theatre in Margate, Florida. He also recently directed and choreographed Spamalot, Tommy, The Rocky Horror Show, and Into The Woods for Entre'Acte Theatrix performing at The Crest Theatre in Delray Beach, Florida. Kevin is the producer, director and choreographer of an original children's show, The Adventures of Bella & Harry, and is the Artistic Director for CAST (Career in the Arts, School of Talent) located in Cooper City, Florida.
The Soul of Motor City will run from June 10 – July 19 at Stage Door Theatre in Margate. The theatre is located at 8036 Sample Road, in Margate.

est une série manga dessinée par Keiko Tobe et publiée dans le magazine  entre 2000 et 2010. La série raconte l'histoire de Sachiko et de son fils Hikaru affecté par une forme d'autisme sévère. La mort de l'autrice début 2010 provoque la fin prématurée de la série, qui reste inachevée avec un total de .

L'œuvre reçoit le prix d'excellence, catégorie manga, du  en 2004. Elle est adaptée la même année en  par la Nippon Television.

Description
 suit l'histoire de la famille Azuma, dont le fils, Hikaru, est affecté par une forme d'autisme et par un handicap mental, avec un focus sur sa vie sociale.

La protagoniste principale du manga est Sachiko Azuma, une jeune femme au foyer de classe moyenne vivant dans la banlieue de Tokyo au début des années 2000. Son mari, Masato, est un  qui passe de très nombreuses heures au travail et accorde peu de temps à sa famille. L'histoire débute par la naissance du premier enfant de la famille, un garçon nommé Hikaru, en référence au lever de soleil qui a accompagné sa naissance.

Bien vite Hikaru se montre incontrôlable : il refuse d'être touché, se montre très sensible au bruit et à la lumière, ne regarde personne dans les yeux, pleure et hurle beaucoup et échoue à l'entraînement à la propreté malgré les efforts répétés de Sachiko. Sachiko comprend que quelque chose n'est pas normal et entre en errance médicale pendant qu'elle peine à trouver du soutien chez ses proches : Masato refuse de s'impliquer et s'enfuit encore plus dans le travail, sa belle-mère l'accuse de mauvaise éducation selon la théorie de la mère réfrigérateur quand les autres mères du voisinage commèrent sur elle. Lorsqu'un médecin commence à parler d'autisme, Sachiko prend peur et entre en déni pendant une longue année, avant de finalement accepter le diagnostic.

La famille Azuma menace ainsi d'exploser après quelques années de mariage, avec Sachiko à bout de nerf qui commence frapper Hikaru et Masato qui s'effondre d'épuisement professionnel ; après ce double épisode particulièrement éprouvant le couple se retrouve et ils deviennent tous les deux pro-actifs dans l'éducation de leur fils : ils s'associent aux soignants et militent pour que leur fils soit accepté pour ce qu'il est aussi bien par leur famille que par la société dans son ensemble, en partant du principe qu'il est du devoir d'une société d'accepter et de s'adapter aux besoins des personnes porteuses d'un handicap. Le manga utilise ainsi de nombreux personnages secondaires eux aussi affectés par divers troubles de développement, avec plusieurs formes d'autisme mais aussi la dyslexie ou le TDAH.

L'histoire s'arrête de façon abrupte du fait de la mort de l'autrice, alors que Hikaru vient d'entrer au collège.

Catch 22 (titre original en anglais : ) est un roman de Joseph Heller publié en 1961 aux États-Unis et en 1964 en France. Il raconte l'histoire d'une escadrille d'aviateurs basée sur la petite île italienne de Pianosa pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Il figure à la  dans la liste des cent meilleurs romans de langue anglaise du  siècle établie par la Modern Library en 1998.
La première traduction française de 1964 paraît sous le titre Attrape-nigaud.

Description

Livre culte des pacifistes opposés à la guerre du Viêt Nam, Catch 22 est une satire féroce de l'armée, de la hiérarchie et de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et raconte l'épopée burlesque du capitaine Yossarian, navigateur-bombardier de bombardier B-25, héros tragi-comique, qui tente à tout prix de sauver sa vie en simulant la folie dans un monde qui a perdu la raison. Mais l' du règlement intérieur de la base prévoit que  Ainsi, alors que quelqu'un en mauvaise santé mentale n'est pas obligé de prendre part aux missions aériennes, s'il fait état de cela en demandant à ne plus y prendre part, il montre sa bonne santé mentale et doit en conséquence y prendre part.

S'inspirant de son expérience personnelle, Joseph Heller dépeint au travers d'une galerie de personnages délirants et dans un style percutant et caustique un univers déboussolé et absurde où la guerre oppose moins Américains et Allemands que les Américains entre eux.

Galerie de portraits des protagonistes de Catch 22
Joseph Heller brosse une série de portraits-charge des militaires (qu'il s'agisse d'appelés enrôlés pour la durée de la guerre ou de militaires de carrière) de l'escadrille fictive basée à Pianosa : cyniques, calculateurs, minés par le stress, désabusés, avides de gloire, pas vraiment sains d'esprit en dépit des apparences, voire ouvertement « déjantés ».

Leurs actions portent la marque de l'absurdité contenue dans le titre du roman et leurs noms de famille (truffés de jeux de mots) sont souvent choisis de manière à faire ressortir leurs traits de caractère les plus marquants.
 Orr (jeu de mots sur « oar », un « aviron » en français) est un pilote malchanceux (peut-être volontairement) qui a l'habitude regrettable de systématiquement se crasher en mer et de rentrer (parfois de bien plus loin que ne l'autoriserait le rayon d'action d'un B25) sans se presser, à la pagaie, en navigateur solitaire, à bord du dinghy gonflable de sauvetage de son B25. Pour échapper à l'absurdité militaire, il finit par pagayer jusqu'en Suède, un des rares pays neutres de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
 L'infirmière Sue - Ann Duckett : petite amie de Yossarian, qu'elle a commencé par fuir au début du roman, elle incarne le « repos du guerrier » mais elle souhaiterait mettre fin à leur relation. En effet depuis qu'elle est devenue sa maîtresse, sa meilleure amie, la très prude infirmière Cramer, a cessé de lui parler. De plus, avide de promotion sociale, elle souhaiterait épouser un médecin et pense qu'une relation trop publique avec quelqu'un qui a « mauvais genre » risque de compromettre ses projets.
 Le colonel Cathcart : il commande le groupe opérationnel et son idée fixe est d'être promu général. Pour ce faire il met la pression sur ses hommes et augmente régulièrement le nombre de missions incluses dans un tour d'opération au grand désespoir de Yossarian qui espère pouvoir être mis en disponibilité de service de combat, mais qui voit le but reculer à chaque nouveau diktat du colonel Cathcart.
 L'aumônier Tapmann (en français « danseur de claquettes », renommé « aumônier Shipman », « matelot », dans l'édition anglaise) : c'est un anabaptiste, originaire de Kenosha (Wisconsin), homme naïf et bon qui va se retrouver dans une situation kafkaïenne par la faute de Yossarian. Celui-ci, chargé de censurer le courrier des soldats prend sa tâche totalement « par-dessous la jambe » et s'amuse à signer « Washington Irving » (ou « Irving Washington », c'est selon) les lettres qu'il ouvre et massacre. Un jour, pour faire une blague, il expédie au Major Major Major ( ) une déclaration d'amour enflammée signée du révérend Tappman, ce qui déclenche une enquête des services de sécurité militaire (le CID) et aboutit à ce qu'il soit  par les hommes du CID et confesse ses « crimes » par esprit de sacrifice christique.
 Le Major Major Major (respectivement grade, prénom et nom de famille) : il commande l'escadron des « rampants » de la base de Pianosa. Son prénom est une plaisanterie pas très fine de son père et sa nomination au grade de Major est l'œuvre d'une machine IBM dotée du sens de l'humour. Sa promotion à ce grade, où il a atteint son niveau d'incompétence ( le Principe de Peter) lui vaut l'hostilité des hommes de troupe qui insinuent qu'il a été promu en raison de sa ressemblance avec l'acteur Henry Fonda, une ressemblance qui lui a fait développer un complexe d'infériorité car on le trouve . Du coup il laisse le sergent Towser expédier les affaires courantes et s'isole totalement, édictant une note de service qui stipule qu'il est interdit de le rencontrer quand il est à son bureau et que les hommes sont priés de venir le voir uniquement quand il est absent.
 Mac Watt est le pilote du B25 dont Yossarian est le navigateur, c'est un de ses plus proches copains. Il est apparemment sain d'esprit (ce que Yossarian considère comme un signe de folie) mais en réalité il est miné par le stress et craque un beau jour où il décolle sans autorisation avec son B25, passe et repasse en rase-mottes au-dessus de l'île de Pianosa et pour finir, hache avec une de ses hélices un soldat nommé Kid Sampson qui faisait trempette sur une plage, n'en laissant que les deux jambes plantées dans le sable (que personne ne se donnera le mal d'enterrer chrétiennement). Miné par le remords il se suicide en écrasant son avion sur une colline.
 Le Lieutenant, puis colonel, puis général de brigade Scheisskopf (littéralement « tête de merde » en allemand, langue où ce n'est pas une insulte d'usage courant, contrairement à l'anglais «  »). Il est chargé de l'instruction militaire et il n'a qu'une idée en tête, prendre du galon, ce qu'il parvient à faire en organisant  des défilés militaires avec un soin maniaque du détail, persécutant tout particulièrement Yossarian qui n'a rien d'un « mili-fana ». Absorbé par cette tâche il délaisse son épouse, qui prend sa revanche en faisant défiler les jeunes militaires dans son lit, en les partageant parfois avec sa meilleure copine Dori Duz, une nymphomane assumée. Yossarian, qui a commencé par bénéficier des faveurs de la seconde, finit par coucher aussi avec  Scheisskopf pour se venger des avanies que lui a fait subir le mari. Après l'acte sexuel ils bavardent ensemble et parlent religion. Tous deux s'avouent athées, mais tandis que Yossarian pose que le dieu qui n'existe pas est foncièrement cruel et vicieux,  Scheisskopf affirme au contraire qu'il est bienveillant.
 Le capitaine Aardvark (Oryctérope du Cap), abrégé en « Aarfy ». Au physique il est grassouillet et fumeur de pipe, et sur le plan moral c'est un arriviste dépourvu de réels sentiments humains (dont la peur, ce qui le rend socialement utile dans le contexte guerrier). Il assume les fonctions de navigateur à bord de l'appareil de Yossarian, mais uniquement quand il est guide de la formation. Il fait régulièrement des fautes de navigation énormes et se contrefiche de la Flak (la DCA), mettant l'escadrille de bombardiers dans des situations impossibles, même quand la mission est  un «  », un vol sans grand risque. Bien entendu cette attitude rend Yossarian fou furieux, au point de frapper Aardvark ce que ce dernier prend avec son habituelle indifférence. Lors d'une permission à Rome, il viole et tue Michaela, une innocente femme de chambre et quand Yossarian, furieux, lui demande pourquoi il a commis pareil crime au lieu de payer une prostituée, il explique avec le plus parfait détachement que ce n'est pas son style de payer. Son comportement inqualifiable est même validé lorsque surgit la police militaire, qui le laisse filer et arrête Yossarian, qui était en « fausse permission ».
 Milo Minderbinder (litt. « celui qui ligote les esprits ») : c'est l'officier d'intendance chargé du ravitaillement du mess de la base de Pianosa (poste équivalent à celui d'officier commis aux vivres dans la marine). Ce poste lui permet de faire de fructueuses affaires et d'encaisser des commissions et des dessous de table, mais en fait, Milo Minderbinder, qui est la vivante incarnation du capitalisme sans foi ni loi, va beaucoup plus loin que la moyenne des officiers d'intendance. Il a carrément privatisé les avions de son unité et fait peindre dessus le logo de sa société, M&M  (le « & » est là pour faire croire qu'il n'est pas le seul à encaisser les profits). Il s'est lancé dans l'import-export de denrées et marchandises diverses, y compris les plus saugrenues, comme des fèves de coton égyptien, et opère à l'échelle du bassin méditerranéen, voire au delà, recourant sans états d'âme au troc, à la corruption, et à la tromperie sur la marchandise. Toutefois il est apprécié des officiers car il a fondé un « syndicat », une sorte de coopérative autour du mess de la base (dont il prétend que chaque militaire a « une part » ou « une action », les deux mots se traduisant en anglais par le mot «  »). Le mess de la base ne manque de rien (œufs frais tous les matins, milk-shakes et ). Milo Minderbinder est connu dans divers pays comme un grand personnage (Milo Pacha en Turquie, Raïs Milo en Égypte) et décoré d'une multitude de médailles honorifiques, traitant d'égal à égal avec les dirigeants des pays riverains de la Méditerranée. Il n'hésite pas à trafiquer la morphine (volée dans les trousses de première urgence des bombardiers de l'escadrille) et, pour se lancer en grand dans la profitable confection de  et d' bien mousseux, il vole carrément toutes les cartouches de  servant au gonflage des gilets de sauvetage (type Mae West), les remplaçant par un petit tract publicitaire qui proclame que :  (il s'agit de la parodie mot pour mot d'une déclaration très célèbre du PDG de  devant une commission d'enquête anti-trusts du sénat américain, s'inquiétant d'un possible conflit d'intérêt, alors même que le PDG en question, Charles Erwin Wilson, qui allait être nommé ministre de la Défense n'avait pas eu la décence de revendre ses actions de la GM). Allant toujours plus loin dans l'exploitation capitaliste de l'horreur guerrière, il finit par s'entendre carrément avec les allemands. Ceux-ci laissent bombarder impunément la ville d'Orvieto, mais en échange, Milo fait bombarder sa propre base de Pianosa par les B25 de son escadrille, tuant nombre de soldats américains. Il est traduit en cour martiale pour trahison et intelligence avec l'ennemi, mais recrute un avocat de haut vol (très grassement payé) et finalement est absous quand son avocat dévoile devant une commission d'enquête les bénéfices (astronomiques) de M&M .

Dans son roman  (« On ferme ») paru en 1993, qui est une sorte de suite tardive et nostalgique de Catch 22, Heller réutilisera le personnage de Milo Minderbinder. Celui-ci est devenu le PDG d'une multinationale tentaculaire, avec des intérêts dans la promotion immobilière, l'import-export, mais surtout les armes de guerre. Il est à tu et à toi avec tous les dirigeants et les financiers du complexe militaro-industriel américain et essaie d'imposer à l' l'achat d'un mirifique et fumeux « bombardier-furtif-tactique-et-stratégique-de-première-et-de seconde-frappe » qui n'est encore qu'un croquis d'artiste réalisé par le fils de Yossarian.

L'expression
Dans le cas du livre il s'agit de « comprendre l'article 22 » (d'où son titre). Le succès de ce roman fut tel que son titre est entré dans le langage courant anglais et désigne aujourd'hui une situation perdant-perdant (inextricable), ou, par extension, une situation kafkaïenne ou encore de double contrainte. Ainsi par exemple pour un chômeur qui postule à un emploi où on demande une personne ayant une expérience professionnelle, il est impossible d'avoir l'emploi s'il n'a pas déjà travaillé et impossible d'avoir une quelconque expérience professionnelle s'il n'a pas l'emploi.

L'île de Pianosa
Joseph Heller, qui effectua soixante missions de combat comme mitrailleur de B25 sur le théâtre d'opérations méditerranéen, a situé son roman sur la petite île toscane de Pianosa, entre la Corse et l'Italie et précisé qu'il s'agit d'une licence littéraire. Cette île plate et minuscule, qui abrita une prison de détenus politiques sous Mussolini puis servit de pénitencier pour mafiosi est bien trop exiguë pour y caser une base aérienne avec ses services logistiques.

En fait l'aviation américaine utilisa, après 1943 et l'armistice de Cassibile, cinq grands terrains d'aviation sur la plaine orientale de la Corse (que les aviateurs avaient baptisée « porte-avions  ») étagés entre Borgo (l'actuel aéroport de Bastia-Poretta d'où Saint-Exupéry décolla pour son dernier vol) au nord et Solenzara - Ventiseri au sud (base militaire encore en activité). Les épaves d'avions américains sont nombreuses sur les fonds sableux du rivage oriental de la Corse et on peut visiter en plongée un B25 semblable à ceux du roman de Heller, quasiment intact par vingt mètres de fond au large du phare d'Alistro.

Réception

Le roman a été interdit aux États-Unis par le conseil scolaire de la ville de Strongville, qui refusait qu'il serve de support d'enseignement de la langue anglaise dans le cycle secondaire. L'interdiction lancée en 1972 a perduré jusqu'à l'issue du procès Minarcini c. Strongsville en 1976.

Adaptations
 Il est adapté au cinéma par Mike Nichols, en 1970, avec notamment Alan Arkin dans le rôle principal. La mini-série Catch 22 est diffusée sur Hulu en 2019.
 L'épisode 17 de la saison 3 de la série Lost : Les Disparus, dans sa version originale, porte le titre du roman en référence à celui-ci.

Roy Bullock: ADL Informant
IHR Report Confirmed
Veteran subscribers with extraordinary memories may recognize the name of Roy Bullock from a brief item about him in the January 1987 issue of IHR Newsletter. It told readers that Bullock was a paid agent of the Zionist Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. Bullock, the item went on, is paid to gather information for the ADL, to propagate disinformation and to sabotage targeted organizations. Bullock attended the fourth and fifth [IHR] revisionist conferences … He was barred from the sixth and seventh conferences after his affiliation was confirmed.
Now Bullock's relationship with the ADL has been confirmed by San Francisco newspapers and former San Francisco police officer Tom Gerard, who has fled to the Philippines after allegedly stealing confidential police files and selling the information to foreign agents.
Relationship Acknowledged
In an interview with the San Francisco Examiner (Jan. 22) Gerard acknowledged that Bullock "was an informant and friend with whom he shared law enforcement information." Gerard added that he met Bullock during a visit to the local offices of the Anti-Defamation League … Bullock was a paid investigator for the ADL … and the two men shared a professional interest in gathering intelligence on right-wing extremists and Arab American groups… We sat there one morning with everyone in the [ADL] office, shook hands and made friends.
Confidential police files were found in ADL offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles during a December 10 search by district attorney investigators. "How it landed in the ADL's offices is a mystery, investigators say," the San Francisco Chronicle reported (Jan. 15.).
Gerard reportedly worked for Israeli intelligence, and "is being portrayed as a 'hero' in the Israeli media." (San Francisco Examiner, Jan. 17.)
In a sworn deposition on January 16, 1991, the ADL's "director of research," Alan Schwartz, was asked if the ADL has "secured information from Israeli intelligence or police organizations." Schwartz refused to answer the question, suggesting that the ADL does in fact "secure" such information. (The complete transcript of this deposition is available from the IHR for $11.95, plus $2.00 shipping.)
From The Journal of Historical Review, March/April 1993 (Vol. 13, No. 2), page 25.

Q: Tagging for a language used in explanation Often, a question asks:

In language A, such and such can be done in such and such way or using this method/function. How can this be done in language B or what is the equivalent of this in language B?

and is tagged as both languages A and B. I think it should only be tagged as B since the question is about B, and the language A is used only to explain the concept that OP cannot without using it.
What do you think? Is there a consensus on this matter in stack overflow?

A: Even if it's a bit confusing, I think such questions should be tagged with both languages' tags.
The reason behind it is, in my opinion, that you need to have a knowledge of both languages to answer the questions in a correct, meaningful way.  Also, people who later find the question should understand both languages to fully use the information contained in the question and answer.

We thought you would like to know a soupçon about our new head chef, Martin Sludds. So in our latest blog we go behind the scenes to find out more.
I started working in an American bistro in Mansfield as a pot washer when I was 15 years old and then one day ended up in the kitchen as they were short staffed. I've never looked back as I knew this was what I wanted to do.
Did you go to college? If so, where, what course – was it what you expected?
I went to West Notts College and did my NVQ1-3 Food and Drink, Food Hygiene GNVQ Foundation, Hospitality and Catering. It was as I imagined; hard work and long hours. I went to College in the morning, then straight to work in a local restaurant called Il Rosso in Mansfield at night.
Did you do any work experience – if so where, what was good or bad about it?
I completed nine months work experience in London at 1 Lombard Street, which is a Brasserie, Bar & fine dining restaurant at the heart of Bank in London. It's where the city meets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Like all good chefs it is best to gain experience from some of the best restaurants and where better than London? It was a very busy restaurant, good preparation for a chef's life! I didn't have a lot of spare time as I worked long hours in a team environment, but I loved it and it was good grounding.
How long have you been working at Hart's?
I joined for the second time in October 2017 as Sous Chef to Dan Burridge. I had previously been the Sous Chef when we originally ran the restaurant in the Park Bar back in 2006. I left in 2007 to support my good friend Troy Lambs in his restaurant Lambs at the Market in Mansfield as Sous Chef. This was the first restaurant in Mansfield to receive one Rosette for culinary excellence so I was very proud of my time spent there.
Creating dishes, playing with different ingredients and flavours. Hart's allows me to do this and I look forward to developing some special menu nights in the future.
What do you most dislike about being a chef?
Not being able to find the right balance of flavours to match, but when they do match it is very satisfying.
Are you looking forward to working in the hotel again?
I am looking forward to this new challenge and working with Aaron Patterson our Executive Chef from Michelin-starred Hambleton Hall. The team are excited too and looking forward to seeing people's reactions to the new menu.
Tell us a bit about your new team, what strengths do they bring?
The team we have brought over from Hart's Restaurant consists of Lukasz, Sous Chef and Davy, Chef de Partie who are two great chefs I have worked with over the last year. We work well together and support Tim Hart's values on delivering quality, flavoursome dishes. We have recruited a brand-new chef and can't wait to welcome him to the Hart's Kitchen family.
What food are you serving at Hart's Kitchen and how will it differ to Hart's Restaurant?
The food will remain comforting and classic, with flavoursome dishes which are exciting on the palette. We will continue to use the best quality and freshest produce, so I am delighted to be continuing our ongoing relationship with some of the best suppliers in the region. The biggest difference I would say will be our a la carte menu will change with the season rather than daily, with only a couple of dishes being rotated depending on ingredients. Chef's Specials will change each day to reflect the fresh produce of the season and to offer a well-balanced menu. The restaurant is smaller but diners will receive the same attentive service in a warm and inviting environment where quality is not compromised.

Hell is empty. The Devil is here.
There is no road so long and winding as the one that leads you to the finish line. Every bend is meant to test you, every junction meant to bring you closer to that place where love and sacrifice meet. To that place in the valley where the sun doesn't quite reach.
I know now that my life will only ever be a battle against the darkness - a darkness that is infinite and eternal in its very nature - and it will remain that way until the inevitable day when the darkness takes my last breath.
That is my purpose. That is my destiny. My name is Jemma Blackburn, and this is my Hell.
Infernal is the long-anticipated fourth installment in The Marked saga, a fast-paced YA paranormal romance that grapples with love, loss, and self-discovery in a unique supernatural world filled with vampires, witches, shifters, and angels.

During the recent California wildfires, a Ford dealership in Simi Valley, California ran an email marketing campaign promoting new deals on trucks. The dealership is near Thousand Oaks, between the areas where the Hill and Woolsey fires raged.
According to SFGATE, the email included photos of a truck and SUV photoshopped onto an autumnal background of orange and red leaves.
Clearly the problem is not when they ran the advertisements, but what they said. The #socialmedia universe erupted at the company's insensitivity, bad taste, and poor judgement.
You can read the post in full on Reddit. Even the apology drew criticism.
Elle Hearns, executive director of the Marsha P. Johnson Institute and a former for Black Lives Matter organizer, said the ad devalues sacrifices people have made over the years to effect change via protest.
Public backlash stressed that the ad trivialized the Black Lives Matter movement.
Pepsi was forced to pull the ad and apologize.
Simi Valley Ford and Pepsi-Cola probably meant no real harm, but they surely missed the forest for the trees. Advertising execs are always looking for a clever or catchy phrase, or trying to find a way to capitalize on a current event or social theme. For example, most companies promote theme-specific ad campaigns around #superbowl, #Christmas, #backtoschool.
But clever and current only work when no one gets hurt. And a reputation for callous behavior only undermines the public's trust in a company.
Avoid capitalizing on someone else's misfortune. A marketing message of support or encouragement is more powerful, less risky and a safer option for your company's reputation.
Do not use copy that devalues or mocks individuals or groups. Play it safe.
Be cautious when referencing events linked to current issues; if you must factor them in, avoid being too catchy or clever.
Test the ad and its content with a diverse sample of stakeholders and target customers before launch.
If you decide to be 'clever or cheeky,' at the very least have a crisis communications plan in place that can be rapidly activated should your PR or marketing efforts backfire.
Monitor social media platforms for "chatter"' to see how your messaging is resonating and what the channels are saying for at least 24hours after dissemination.
If things take a turn for the worst, take rapid action based on what you see and hear on social media. Tweak messaging if necessary.
Always be open, honest, and up front with your communications.
Ensure that stakeholders, both internal and external, are kept in the loop.
If you push marketing boundaries, you have to accept the risk of a fierce pushback if you get things wrong.

Not long ago, honest presents had been a silly option. However this season honest list seems to be striking the actual large period as well as buys may achieve a good all-time greatest. The reason why, The actual planet's altering because more and more people understand when we wish long term decades to see pleased, effective, comfy life such as our bait, some thing needs to alter.
Damage through climate alter offers created individuals much more conscious from the earth. Globalisation offers assisted to create all of us much more alert to the actual human being price from the items all of us purchase, not just the cost. We are much more clued upward concerning the supply of these products all of us purchase, and also the possible damage their own manufacturing leads to in order to nations, conditions, animals, individuals, assets as well as financial systems.
Similar to any kind of social alter, it is sluggish. However it is actually building. Consequently consumers consider additional time as well as treatment more than exactly what these people buy. High quality is actually beginning to be useful compared to amount. Cost has become much less essential compared to supply. Progressively, precisely how all of us experience buying is actually changing for that much better.
You will find much more indicators associated with alter. Since the spending budget debt attacks, saving cash is becoming important instead of 'nice in order to have'. 'Make perform as well as mend' is actually well-liked. Sewing, stitching, house cooking as well as grow-your-own tend to be close to the best of numerous individuals checklist. We are becoming a member of lengthy lists with regard to allotments as well as personal companies tend to be buying upward property in order to lease in order to people who want to create their very own meals.
Power gets more expensive as well as a lot of us tend to be starting to consider padding, green energy resources, eco-friendly charges as well as including clothes rather than switching the actual starting to warm up. Austerity, Possibly. However there is a confident aspect in order to eating much less as well as, if you perform eat, doing this sensibly.
Most are awaiting the actual showing stage — occurs where much more people tend to be purchasing ethically compared to not really. Economics rests in the centre of the spectacular social alter and when need surpasses provide, honest products will be securely about the chart, popular.

Bunch panel is actually undoubtedly the easiest brickwork design available. Merely fall into line your own stones in the advantage of the outdoor patio as well as place all of them lower 1 alongside another. Place the large rock along with every large rock, attempting to maintain all of them actually, before you achieve the actual much aspect. You will end up getting the design which appears like easy posts associated with large rock. Regrettably, because stones aren't usually completely created, this particular design will most likely appear uncomfortable inside a couple of locations and really should just supply along with a lot of extreme caution.
Whenever individuals think about the large rock walls, the actual design which involves thoughts is usually known as the operating relationship. With this design, a person place 1 strip associated with stones alongside after which place the following strip precisely fifty percent the large rock back to the inside. The actual finishes which find yourself protruding could be full of fifty percent stones reduce from the moist noticed. Operating relationship is among the easiest and many well-liked large rock designs available since it appears great along with nearly every design as well as colour associated with large rock and may end up being created very easily as well as without having a lot hassle.
With this variance about the operating relationship style, you need to begin in the heart of your own outdoor patio through putting 2 stones alongside. Consider stones as well as create a sq . close to your own middle 2, as well as carry on to the outside performing the same. Exactly what you'll be along with is really a operating relationship design which groups to the outside towards the advantage of the outdoor patio. This really is a terrific way to obtain a stunning as well as complex locate a sq . outdoor patio region without having lots of preparing.
Developing a container weave design from stones is really as easy to place since the bunch panel design having a stunning complete which makes the actual outdoor patio appear excellent. Go on and help to make posts associated with stones, just rather than permitting every large rock to manage exactly the same path place 2 horizontally, after that 2 up and down till you have chock-full the actual line. Right now replicate the actual design all through your own outdoor patio, switching the actual large rock placement to produce a checkerboard appear.
This particular variance about the container weave design produces an infinitely more complicated style. Produce a rectangular shape associated with 2 horizontally stones having a up and down large rock alongside all of them. Alternative the actual keeping the actual up and down large rock to produce a line, as well as abide by it having a regular 2 large rock line, after that an additional 3 large rock arranged to produce the actual design.
The herringbone may wind up searching very stunning, however, you perform have to be cautious whenever lounging this to prevent mistakes. To create the actual herringbone design, you're developing a zigzag associated with stones set just like a turned "L" form. Begin in 1 part as well as function lower, after which function out of the part a person began. You will need fifty percent stones open to complete the actual sides, that ought to wind up searching such as change "L" designs switched back to the inside towards the middle of the actual outdoor patio having a spacer fifty percent between each one of these, along with 2 fifty percent stones about the base correct part. This particular design is actually complex, therefore check it out upon some thing non-permanent very first.
For each home owner, the actual outdoor patio is probably the very best place to keep reasonable in order to big events. Certainly, the actual patio's closeness towards the backyard as well as backyard causes it to be a perfect spot to commemorate 1st birthdays, wedding ceremony wedding anniversaries, or even informal Weekend barbeques along with buddies as well as households.

The only real disadvantage along with stainless dining area furniture as well as seats is actually that they're fairly large as well as hard to maneuver close to.
An ideal option to stainless dining area arranged is actually one which is made of light weight aluminum. Light weight aluminum models will even final for a long period. As well as the best thing is actually that you'll have no difficulties shifting this in one preferred place inside your outdoor patio in order to another-aluminum is extremely gentle.
Plastic material dining area models will also be becoming a lot more well-liked nowadays. Produced from difficult plastic-type such as vinyl fabric, plastic material models may also final for a long period. As well as a good thing with one of these tend to be that they're very economical.
Occasionally, 1 materials is actually mixed to create a dining area arranged. For example, the dining area outdoor patio desk may have the wood best as well as stainless or even light weight aluminum thighs. Wood dining area outdoor patio seats along with steel thighs as well as backrests will also be typical.
There are lots of dining area styles available on the market. Probably the most well-liked may be the conventional rectangle-shaped foldable wood outdoor patio furniture as well as seats. Elegantly created light weight aluminum dining area outdoor patio models along with little curved furniture will also be among the faves associated with home owners. Dining area outdoor patio models along with cushioned seats will also be the warm product.
Picking out a arranged is actually as much as the actual homeowner's individual flavor. Nevertheless, there are several factors which home owners ought to consider prior to purchasing a dining area outdoor patio arranged. To begin with, the actual dining area arranged ought to easily fit in the actual outdoor patio. For those who have a conventional outdoor patio, a person may as well think about a traditional-looking wood dining area arranged. Wouldn't it end up being unusual should you may place a good exotically created dining area arranged in your conventional outdoor patio, Therefore, keep in mind: your own club outdoor patio arranged ought to easily fit in your own outdoor patio.

CP-violation in high-energy collisions of polarized protons
Sergey Kovalenko, Ivan Schmidt, Jacques Soffer
We study the possibility of a large CP/T-violation in lepton pair production in the collisions of polarized protons at RHIC-BNL. We propose the single transverse spin asymmetry which quantifies the possible CP/T-violating effect in this reaction and advocate it as a sensitive indicator of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). We consider two examples of mechanisms beyond the SM which can generate the non-zero asymmetry of this type. They rely on the R-parity violating interactions of supersymmetric models and on the phenomenological tensor interactions. We estimate the prospects for observing this effect in a future experiment.

Purpose – The purpose of research is to provide an overview of the researches on the definition of middle management and the roles of middle management in organisations and safety.
Design/methodology/approach – Literature review
Findings – The literature review revealed that the lack of consistency in a holistic typology of middle management and their roles are evident. All authors agree that this intermediate management group is between top level and lower level management which is very broad definition. In addition, middle management group has been distinguished from other managerial groups by three main criteria namely function, the context of the organisation and the researchers tendency. Two prominent tendencies in researches on middle management were first the strategic roles of middle management and the second either the significant contribution of middle management in the management of change or their dysfunctional roles in changes within organisations. There is a considerable overlap between elements of middle management roles, and the extent of the roles depends on the context of the organisation, time, and attitudes of middle managers. A literature review revealed that middle managers implement 5 prominent roles which are strategic, administrative, leadership, decision-making and communication. Researchers were more focus on two categories which are strategic and communication and cooperation roles. While other roles particularly decision-making role of middle management even overlooked in the management domain.
Research limitations/implications – Although authors tried to review literature comprehensively, the research may not involve all articles related to middle management.
Originality/value – The paper contributes to the literature by highlighting the middle management identity and their multiple and crucial roles in organisations, as well as management of safety.
Keywords: Middle Management, Review, Decision-Making, Roles.
To achieve organisational objectives in an organisation, different levels of management are involved with different degrees of power, authority, and responsibility. The breath of authority and responsibility in an organisation depends on a clear definition of management level [51]. Since one management level which engages in many unique tasks within the organisation is middle management, it is essential to identify the concept of middle management and to define their functions.
In addition, to successfully implement an effective Occupational Health, Safety Environmental And Quality Management System (OHSQ) in an organisation, resource allocation, employee participation and the commitment of individuals from top management to front-line level is essential [7,36]. This implies a high level of interdependency between different levels in an organisation. However, there are a tendency to study on the senior management, assuming that senior management has the highest responsibility in safety management or focusing on operational level who are directly involved in fieldwork, consequently they are the closest people to accidents, while ignoring middle management who lies between these two extremes [1,44].
Accident causation analysis also revealed that although middle management plays a crucial role in organisations, middle management's roles were not gotten attention in accident investigations. For instance, the BP blowout accident is an evidence which highlights the prominent role of middle managers .When middle managers' decisions were taking them a step on the path to disaster. The Macondo team which includes engineers, well team leader and rig-based well site leaders who are mostly middle managers made the flawed decisions because of contributed causes such as the organisational structure of BP's engineering activity, economic pressure and focusing on personal safety instead of process safety. Moreover, they applied consensus decision making, which is a diffuse accountability instead of a single-point accountability which led them to this accident [27].
Since middle managers overlooked in accident causation analysis, in this paper the scope of the study is extended to safety researchers and other domains to find who a middle manager is exactly, what they are doing in organisations and what the roles of middle managers are in safety specifically. We conducted a review of the literature that would enable us to illustrate the concept of middle management. Furthermore, three other research questions are posed namely:
-What are middle manager's role, their main responsibilities and their authorities in organisations?
-What are middle management roles and their influence in safety management?
-Whether the decisional role is an important role in middle management? If so, how middle managers make decisions based on literature review?
In what follows, we will summarise the literature and use them to find above mentioned research questions.
Before begins to test causal hypotheses, the investigator has to make sure that the data collected confirm the conceptual structure postulated in advance. For this reason, we reviewed and summarised the relevant published studies about the definition of a middle manager. At first, since our interest was the role of middle management in safety management, a systematic search were conducted on the table of contents of journals in safety field (Safety Science Journal, Accident Analysis &prevention, and Journal of Safety Research), but there was not any definition regarding to this term and the roles of middle managers; so, we extended the scope of research to three academic databases which were Google scholar, Scopus and Web of Knowledge (Science) to search general scopes of management for identifying the middle management concept as well as the roles of middle management. The bibliographies of references then were searched, as well as Wikipedia and management encyclopaedia.
In total, we reviewed 60 articles that have some information about the definition of middle management, middle management roles or the middle management influence from 1975 to 2015. The results reveal that investigators have currently a tendency to search for middle management. The researches were mostly performed in the management scope, while in the safety literature, not only little attention has been devoted to the definition of middle manager, but also this essential group is given if not, little room.
Findings show that there was not any paper about definition of middle management in the most safety-related journals such as Safety Science, Accident Analysis & prevention and Journal of Safety Research; however, there were few articles regarding to the role of middle management in safety journals [7,18,26,29,37,38,39].
There is an inconsistency in the definition of middle managers. There is not an exact definition for a middle manager that is applicable for all organisations and there is not a clear-cut point between this managerial group and other management groups. One criterion which has been applied for identifying middle managers among other managerial levels is their functions in an organisation. Middle management operates in an operational core of the organisation [32]. Another criterion is the position of middle managers in the organisational hierarchy. They are positioned in a level where at least two levels of staff are below them [14,40,48,49,52].The organisation structure or context of the organisation is another essential factor which influenced the definition of middle management [14,16]. Even, the purpose of researchers affected the definition of this managerial group. For instance in one hand, Currie and Procter considered locality managers as middle managers who were far from the operational core of the organisation and only one level staff was located below them, because they considered other contextual criteria such as first, they were managing under leadership of a multidisciplinary team; second, the organisational structure was less elaborate; third, they reported into assistant directors which were positioned at corporate headquarters [14]. On the other hand, Brewer considered middle managers in the federal government as frontline supervisors when he studied supervisory tasks. He argued that this managerial group have similar or greater supervisory tasks [8]. Following, we provide a summary of findings of descriptions, important characteristics, and the roles of middle management that deserve special attention.
Literature review reveals that the two prominent trends in researches on middle management are first the strategic contribution of middle management in organisations. The most systematic and widely cited attempt to explore the strategic roles of middle managers were carried out by Floyd and Wo oldridge[14,19,20,21,22,23,52] .The second trend has been about either the roles of middle management in organisational change or changing the roles of middle managers as a result of organisational change[2,3,4,5,6,9,10,13,17,30,41,45,46,47].
Managerial roles define as various responsibilities and requirements associated with enacting managerial job. Managerial roles are more than required activities; instead, they encompass the activities, knowledge, skills, and traits are required to enact managerial job. A literature review revealed that managerial roles vary depend on the context of the organisation. In other words, studies show that the requirements of managerial role appear stable within decades; however, the importance of a specific role depends on the context of the organisation and managers can play one or several roles within a given point in time [15].
The lacks of consistency in a holistic typology of middle management roles are evident and there is a considerable overlap between elements of roles [42,52]. However, the purpose of this chapter is to illustrate the role of middle management particularly in safety. Therefore, outlines middle management roles which are categorised to5 prominent roles which are strategic roles, administrative roles, leadership, decision-making and communication (Table 3-1). They can divide into subcategories which are illustrated in Figure 3-1 and Table 3-2[Figure 3-1][Table 3-2].We remind here that the extent of roles depends on the context of the organisation, time and attitudes of middle managers.
Strategic roles of middle managers encompass of championing, synthesising, facilitating and implementing [19]. In the championing role, middle managers present innovative ideas and business opportunities to top management. Categorising and blending both strategic and hands-on information as well as selling issues to top management are activities for carrying the synthesising role [17, 34,52,]. The direction of communication in these roles is upward, while facilitating and implementing roles have downward direction. In the facilitating role, middle managers nourish divergent adaptability to strategy and changes.

They share information and they can guide adaptation for instance, they can facilitate adequate prioritisation of safety goals and learning [12,31]. Middle managers implement the planned strategy or strategic decisions [10]. They transfer the broad and long-term strategic objectives from corporate centre to individual performance plans and short-term operational objectives which are implemented by local managers in the field [14]. For this purpose, they motivate, coach and inspire their subordinators [19].
Communication and cooperation is another essential role of middle management that consists of interacting with outsiders, interpretation and translation of strategy, filtering the information, and networking. Their particular positions in social network contribute to both inter-organisational collaborative relationship and intra-organisational relationship. In addition, they interact with top management, as well as front-line managers; consequently, they influence both upwards and downwards and horizontal [46,47]. Therefore, they have a potential for interaction and multilevel or even better network influences. Middle managers share the common ground as well as disruptions given rise from an external environment to cultivate organisational objectives [28]. Lots of studies on middle management concentrate in this role and strategic role of middle managers, while they left other important roles like administrative and technical roles.
Middle managers are highly experienced segment of the organisation. While, supervisors have good technical skills they are less well in managerial skills. The senior manager on the other hand, performs managerial roles, while they are far from technical skills. Middle managers require both technical and managerial roles. They perform administrative roles such as assign activities, budgeting, scheduling, hiring and firing, at the same time, they should have enough knowledge about technical issues in their units.
Leadership is another essential role for middle management consists of supervision, motivation, reinforcement support, monitor, control, and mediator. Middle managers are leading their departments to achieve organisational goals [13]. Middle managers are embedded leaders or second-tier leader who are leading others, while they report to another high-level leader [11,43].Middle managers demonstrate both transformational and transactional leadership. They utilize transformational leadership by reinforcement, monitor, and control to reinforce their subordinate and to get the support of their subordinates through transactional leadership (e.g. motivation, mediation, making rewards contingent on performance) [42]. Middle managers expand the higher level leaders' influence over lower level employees .They also set rules and guidelines for lower level and they are responsible for maintaining stability, and improving the existing services and policies [13,33].
A literature review revealed the lack of describing and developing decisional roles of middle managers. However, middle managers are semi-autonomous under any circumstances [14]. They have in one hand authority to make decisions; on the other hand, they face with constraints for taking decisions. Middle managers can decide about what to peruse and what not, when is the proper time for performing something or even when to sell the issues to senior managers.
Managers experience the conflict of priorities because of handling different tasks [35]. They perceive conflicts of interest [52]. Therefore, a decision to resolve the conflict is one essential part of their main roles. Entrepreneurship relates to how middle managers identify and generate new ideas which can influence the capacity of innovation in organisations. They can be the primary source of entrepreneur initiatives or they can improve entrepreneurship of frontline managers by supporting and coaching of new ideas of frontline supervisors [52].
Our objective in this chapter is to provide an overview of research on the definition of middle management and the roles of middle management in organisations and safety. Literature review in safety scope revealed that middle management entirely overlooked in safety. Assessment of other articles did not indicate the clear definition of middle management which clarifies the boundary between this group and other management groups and is applicable for every organisation. Literature review shows that all authors agree that this intermediate management group are between top level/central management and lower level/ outer edges management which is very broad definition. In addition, identifying the middle management group from other managerial groups depends on three main criteria namely function, the context of the organisation and the researcher tendency.
The review provides evidence that middle management impact organisations in a various way by performing different roles. Two prominent tendencies in researches on middle management research were first the strategic roles of middle management and the second either the significant contribution of middle management in the management of change or their dysfunctional roles in changes within organisations. As mentioned in cahpter2, did not manage the change was one of the hidden reasons of Tesoro accident and Macondo blowout.
The academic literature on safety has long neglected the role of middle managers. While there are a fair number of studies about the role of top management in safety. There are many reasons to believe that middle managers are key actors who play important roles in organisations and safety. The main reason is their multiple roles in organisations. In addition, adverse events are likely to occur as a result of systemic and organisational factors such as inadequate strategic decision making, weak management, insufficient training, poor communications, and improper procedures which closely links with middle managers who are located in pivotal positions and they perform crucial multiple roles.
Middle management performs multiple roles in organisations. According to the literature review, we concluded that middle managers take 5 essential roles which are strategic, administrative, leadership, communication and cooperation, and decision-making. Researchers were more focus on two categories which are strategic and communication and cooperation roles. While other roles particularly decision-making role of middle management even overlooked in the management domain.
Decision-making can be consist of recourse allocation, entrepreneurship and disturbance handling. Middle management continually faces with conflicts which give rise form deviation in normal conditions. It can be the conflict as a result of technical disturbance or disturbance between other elements of an organisation like individuals in different levels or even conflict can occur between an organisation and other organisations which have relation with the main organisation. Because middle managers are located in the middle part of organisation between operating core, strategic apex, support staff and techno structure they can face with more disturbance and they have to resolve the conflict for proper management. Middle managers have limited authority to allocate resources. The span of authority might be influenced by the context of the organisation. Yet, they have authority to prioritize one objective that can be production to other objectives for instance safety; consequently, they are responsible for decisions within their authority.
Given the limited number of studies on middle management in safety domain, future studies are needed to examine the role and influence of middle management in safety management specifically in safety-related decision-making.
The authors would like to appreciate the Health Ministry of Iran and Technical University of Delft for their financial and administrative support to undertake this study.

The house is situated in a tight urban site within a conservation area in Chelsea. The architectural solution for the awkward composition between the main house and the rear outrigger was to simplify the layout and circulation around the ground floor external courtyard that enables visual connection and openness. The intention of the sliding glazed doors that can be opened full width was to allow the exterior into the centre of the house.
The project was undertaken in collaboration with Michael Tite Architect.

Q: Run only the first Bash command of multiple inline commands I have a program which runs certain commands over SSH. Some of the commands are static (always the same) and others have arguments which change between runs. The program uses a private key to connect to the server, and the authorized key is locked down to force the command "sh run_script.sh".
run_script.sh will only run $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND if it matches a set of static commands, or if it begins in a certain way (for non-static commands).
The problem is that something like
allowedCommand arg1 arg2 && rm -r ~/

would probably slip through.
Is it possible to have bash only run the first command, and ignore anything after a pipe or &&?

A: You might be able to set a wrapper script as the login shell (instead of /bin/bash) and have it use sed or something to strip the unwanted parts off. It would be subject to possible false positives and may fail for arguments that contain whitespace and in other situations (see BashFAQ/050).
There might be unforeseen security issues that are introduced by this approach.
It would be better to use the security features provided by ssh, sudo, a restricted shell such as rbash and other security facilities provided by the operating system in combination.
