Very Vanilla: A Guide to Vanilla Types — From Madagascar to Mexican
By Emily Cappiello on August 31, 2021
You just wanted to make a cake and now you're standing in front of a row of different types of vanillas, unsure of which one to choose.
With different price points and packaging, they all seem pretty exotic, but which one will be the best for what you're making?
And, since vanilla is the second-most expensive ingredient in the world (second only to saffron), how will you make sure you're buying the one that will offer you the most options?
There are over 150 types of vanilla in the world, including Indian vanilla, Tonga vanilla, and Ugandan vanilla—but the two most prevalent types found in most stores are Madagascar or bourbon vanilla, and Tahitian vanilla. Also worth a look: Mexican vanilla, as it's made from the very same plant as bourbon vanilla, and Mexico is, in fact, the birthplace of vanilla.
We found out straight from the experts what makes each of these three types of vanilla the same, or different, from the next in hopes that you won't ever have to put baking a cake on hold to debate this ingredient choice ever again.
Mexican vanilla
According to Michel Mustiere, Culinary Director of Velas Resorts, with multiple locations throughout Mexico, Mexican vanilla is cultivated in Veracruz, Mexico, and is the product of an orchid that gives birth to the vanilla flower after pollination.
Mustiere explains that the vanilla is harvested after the flower dies, usually around nine months, and then the green pod is cut from the plant. The pod, he says, is then allowed to dry for 20 days, then undergoes a fermentation process.
"After 20 days of drying, the vanilla pods are placed in wooden boxes and covered with palm rugs, to ripen them to finally place them in vacuum packaging, and thus preserve their notes and their flavor," he says, adding that the vanilla is usually aged for two to three months.
This process seals in the complex flavor and aroma of the vanilla. According to Mustiere, you can pick up all of these notes: "metallic, astringent, smoked, pungent, toasted, gritty, spiciness of tuberose, sweet, clove, black pepper, cinnamon, raisin, wood, wet earth, dry chili, cocoa, tamarind, sesame, and mold." (So not dissimilar to tasting good wine.)
And while it may not be as easy to pick out Mexican vanilla with an untrained palate, there is a way to tell it apart from other vanillas by just looking at it. Mexican vanilla, says Mustiere, is thinner, as opposed to Tahitian vanilla, which is thicker. He also notes that it is more subtle and delicate on the palate than other types of the flower.
"We use the vanilla originally from Mexico, because it has a peculiar flavor and smell that is [unique to] the type of land where it is planted," he says, explaining that both the particular taste and aromas are distinct to the Mexican vanilla. (Again, not unlike wine, which is so heavily influenced by terroir.)
Recipe: Homemade Vanilla Extract
Ingredients: 3 vanilla beans; 1 cup vodka, rum, or bourbon
Using a paring knife, make an incision in 1 of the vanilla beans starting 1 inch from the end and continuing lengthwise through the remainder of the bean. Repeat with the remaining 2 beans.
Place the vanilla beans in a 1-pint glass jar with a tightfitting lid. Add the vodka, rum, or bourbon and push the beans down until they are completely submerged. Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 1 month, shaking it once a week. The vanilla flavor will intensify the longer the beans remain in the infusion. Store the extract for up to 1 year. As you use it up, top the jar off with enough liquor to keep the beans submerged, replacing the vanilla beans as they start to lose their flavor (about every 3 to 6 months).
Madagascar vanilla
Also called bourbon vanilla, Madagascan vanilla comes from the same plant and has the same basic flavor notes as Mexican vanilla. The only significant difference is that in Mexico, the plant is pollinated by a bee and in Madagascar, humans need to pollinate the flower, leading to its higher price. (And despite the name, it is not actually made with bourbon whiskey; instead, "Bourbon" refers to a place where this vanilla was grown.)
The vanilla orchid was initially brought from Mexico to the areas surrounding the Indian Ocean in the 1800s, and those lands now supply two-thirds of the world's vanilla. Madagascar leads the pack, with Indonesia in second place (while Indonesian vanilla comes from the same plant, it is said to have a smokier aroma and taste than creamier, sweeter Madagascan and Mexican vanilla).
Tahitian vanilla
In the Pacific Ocean, there is an island in Tahiti that is referred to as "Vanilla Island." It got its name because 80 percent of the country's vanilla is produced there.
Tahitian Vanilla (Vanilla tahitensis) is a natural hybrid between two vanilla species: Vanilla planifolia, better known as bourbon vanilla, and Vanilla odorata, a very rare vanilla found in the forests of Belize and Guatemala. "It represents only 1 percent of the global production of vanilla," says Thibault Uzeel, Assistant Food and Beverages Manager for Pearl Resorts of Tahiti.
During the growing period, he says, Tahitian vanilla is fertilized by hand. After nine months, it's picked, dried under the sun, and then packaged in vacuum flasks in the absence of light to preserve the flavor.
The flavor of Tahitian vanilla is heavily influenced by the tropical climate and the soil, he says, and contains flavor notes of caramel and anise, with delicate touches of chocolate that melt in the mouth.
Baking with any of these vanilla varieties will result in delicious desserts, but for simpler things like vanilla pound cake or homemade vanilla ice cream, try using different kinds to really highlight their specific characters.

Oscar Pistorius's brother faces trial in car accident death – IBNLive
Posted by: jwj
Johannesburg: Oscar Pistorius's elder brother faces trial for killing a woman in a traffic incident five years ago, the family said on Sunday, confirming a report that dominated South African media two days after the "Blade Runner" athlete was bailed for murder.
Carl Pistorius is charged with culpable homicide in the death of a motorcyclist in 2008; the case is unrelated to the Valentine's Day shooting of his younger brother's girlfriend.
However, it was not widely known of until local television e-News Channel Africa reported it on Sunday. A family statement said Carl appeared before a judge on Thursday and would be in court again in late March. His younger brother was freed on bail on Friday after a week of hearings watched by the world's media.
The case is unrelated to the Valentine's Day shooting of his younger brother's girlfriend.
Carl Pistorius declined comment as he entered the home of an uncle in Pretoria on Sunday. The house is where Oscar, 26, has been staying since being granted bail on Friday until his trial for the premeditated murder of model Reeva Steenkamp on February 14.
The family statement quoted lawyer Kenny Oldwage as saying:
"There is no doubt that Carl is innocent and the charge will be challenged in court. Carl deeply regrets the accident.
"Blood tests conducted by the police at the time proved that he had not been under the influence of alcohol, confirming that it was a tragic road accident after the deceased collided with Carl's car."
Contacted by Reuters, Oldwage declined further comment. The family statement said charges had at one stage been withdrawn but then reinstated.
Athlete's trial
Carl Pistorius attracted little publicity until the arrest of his younger brother propelled the family into the glare of a global media spotlight. He and their younger sister Aimee and father Henke, appeared in court to support Oscar, who denies the charge, saying he believed he was shooting at an intruder.
The younger Pistorius brother was born lacking bones in his lower legs, leading to amputation and carbon fibre blades. As the Paralympian "Blade Runner", who competed with able-bodied athletes at last year's London Olympics, reaching the semifinal of the 400 metres, he became a symbol of triumph over adversity.
In his native South Africa, he has also been seen as a rare hero for both blacks and whites, transcending racial divides that persist 19 years after the end of apartheid.
The trial has drawn attention to South Africa's judicial system. Defence counsel criticised police witnesses during the bail hearings and, in a development that prompted further headlines, the lead detective was replaced after it emerged he himself was facing attempted murder charges.
On Saturday, Steenkamp's father said that if Oscar Pistorius was telling the truth about mistakenly opening fire then "maybe I can forgive him one day". But he added that if the track star were lying "he will have to live with his conscience".

Georgie Margaret Irvine
My Auntie Georgie was a ballsy banker with soul. How many of those can there be? She managed the Credit Union in Vernon BC, Canada, from the late 50's until 1974, when it was unheard of for a woman to manage any type of bank whatsoever. And she did it like a human being, not like a capitalist stooge. She wasn't university educated, but she was bright and she knew that the main thing about business is trust, and trust is all about how you treat people. She took care of the people who worked for her and they helped her take good care of the Credit Union and the members of the Credit Union. Georgie's staff was entirely female. One of those on staff was my mom, Evelyn Andrews, Georgie's younger sister. Mom worked for Georgie throughout the 60's until we moved to Victoria in 1970.
Georgie grew the Credit Union from a small membership and assets of about $14,000 to a membership of over 15,000 and millions of dollars in assets. An article from 2004 in the Vernon newspaper puts it in context:
The heyday [of the Vernon Credit Union] is considered to be the late 1950's when Georgie Blakely was the manager and the Credit Union had a membership of 15,000—an impressive number when the population of the North Okanagan wasn't much more than that (24,000).
Blakely started as a secretary and worked her way up to manager.
While some of her decisions wouldn't be considered fiscally sound today, she built membership, loyalty, and virtually ensured everyone paid back their loans by being flexible.
For instance, in the '50's when Ken Little, who would become Vernon Fire Chief, couldn't get a loan to buy a lot, Blakely let him become a member with a $5 deposit, then financed his lot with a 100 per cent loan.
....Today, the Credit Union is healthy with 9,500 members...
I don't recall Georgie being doctrinaire concerning feminism or political ideology—or even talking about them, for that matter—but she was admired as a person and a woman who created the best bank in town, and it was run by women. She was widely admired and respected. She wasn't doctrinaire about anything, really. She'd rather talk about relationships or business—about your hopes and dreams, really, than about abstractions. Or swap jokes. Or talk about baseball or opera.
She had a gruff exterior, as noted in another article. She was from the John Wayne generation. She was more like John Wayne than John Wayne's women in her gruff candor, strength, humour, and leadership. She once told me that if I was looking for sympathy, I could find it in the dictionary between shit and syphilis. If I recall correctly, I wasn't actually looking for sympathy, at the time. She wouldn't say that sort of thing if I really had needed sympathy. It was just a good line at the time, good for a laugh. She paid my way through several years of university. That's pretty serious sympathy, it seems to me. And I wasn't the only one she helped. She donated regularly to various charities such as World Vision and helped friends and family with loans and outright gifts. And she wasn't extravagant in her own spending. She wore sweatshirts and slacks; someone once mistook her for the janitor in the Credit Union. She was an active supporter of the Anglican Church, the Vernon hospital, and various other organizations.
But, yes, she could be gruff. I remember one time when I was a kid and at the Credit Union. Some guy was giving a female teller a bad time about something. Georgie was within ear shot. She walked up beside the teller and spoke to the man on the other side of the counter. "I'm going to count to ten. And when I get to ten I'm going to be on the other side of this counter, and you'd best be gone." She started counting and walking. And he was gone prettty quickly. You just really wouldn't want to mess with that woman. What was she going to do at ten if he was still there? I have no idea. Neither did he. Maybe she didn't either. But he didn't want to find out. Perhaps they'd encountered one another before. It seems that way. Georgie wouldn't do that with a stranger, I wouldn't think, or with someone who might have a real beef.
She had a big heart and she was humble about her position in Vernon and helped out where she could while also being nobody's fool as a business woman. She took her responsibilities seriously and attended to them vigorously and with some pleasure. That's how she was in her private dealings and in person. And she was very much a what-you-see-is-what-you-get type of person, so I imagine that's what she was like as the manager of the Credit Union, also. Which, no doubt, has a lot to do with how she grew it from something very small to the biggest bank in town. People trusted Georgie and she didn't let them down. I think she was more or less the model of what a banker should be—if there should be any at all. We were all proud of her in the family, proud that she was such a leader and benefactor to so many. She was a 'do-gooder' without making a big deal about it. In fact, I think she felt it wise not to wear the heart on the sleeve or be perceived as an easy mark. I would think that wouldn't help a banker or the bank. That was part of the gruff exterior. She was a business woman, not a charity organization. She liked to say she wasn't in the business of losing money. But she liked to help people, too, and did so regularly.
You get a sense of Georgie's managerial style from a 2004 article from the Vernon newspaper about the Credit Union:
"Georgie treated us all like her own family," recalls Millie Barker, a former employee who retired last fall after 31.5 years of service. "She'd start work at 5 in the morning and she'd get busy in the staff kitchen downstairs—I remember many full turkey dinners ready for us at lunch. She was quite the lady."
In another article, the writer quotes Georgie's policy on how to treat her staff. I heard Georgie say this a few times myself. She said "Work them hard. Spoil them rotten. And pay them well." Mom didn't get rich working for Georgie, but she enjoyed her job and was probably better paid than she'd get elsewhere in Vernon banks.
Part of the "Spoil them rotten" part, I expect, had to do not only with the turkey dinners (and that sort of thing) she cooked downstairs but all the parties she threw downstairs. I was a little kid at the time, but I remember going to a couple of these parties and I remember mom and dad going out for the evening to many more than the couple I was allowed to attend until it was a little past my bed time.
There probably weren't any interesting night clubs or night spots for the young adults of Vernon in the fifties and sixties. The Credit Union basement, it seems, addressed that problem, somewhat, occasionally.
Georgie knew how to enjoy herself. She enjoyed the company of her friends, of which she had many, and she was a gregarious, generous-spirited host. I think people enjoyed those parties immensely. I can hear her laugh just thinking about her. It conveyed a fullness of enjoyment. Like the laugh of a lion. Triumphant. Well pleased. Confident. Rye and cigarettes never far away. I don't know why she didn't smoke cigars. It wouldn't have surprised anyone. A deepish, husky voice. But that makes her sound butch. Well, sort of. But she was also, as Millie Barker noted, "quite the lady".
Georgie married, for the first time, when she was 19 and divorced Walter Graham at 26, in 1952, seven years before I was born. She was single until she was 38. If she became manager of the Credit Union in the late fifties, that would have been when she was about 30. During that long period of being single. In her very prime. What a formidable person she must have been, at that point. All her life, she was charismatic in that John Wayne way of hers. But, looking at the pictures of Georgie in her youth, she was also drop-dead gorgeous. Charismatic, hard-working, forthright, a leader, a woman, and drop-dead gorgeous. No wonder the Credit Union had 15,000 members out of a population of about 24,000. How many of those were men trying to impress Georgie? Probably a few.
She married Bernie Blakely in 1964 when she was 38 and he was 63. They were together until Bernie passed away in 1977. I was fond of uncle Bernie, as were his other nieces and nephews. I was five when they married and 18 when he passed away. So my impressions of him are from my early time. But, even then, you could see that Bernie and Georgie were right for one another. Bernie was calm, cool, collected, dapper, deep, funny and reassuring. Generous of spirit. Particularly when she got drinking, Georgie could be 'one bear cat' as mom used to say. Bernie smoothed her out. He understood her, appreciated her. And she appreciated that. They brought out the best in each other.
They never had any kids. And Georgie never had any kids from her earlier marriage. She liked kids, however. They'd better behave themselves, though. You wouldn't want Georgie dressing you down. No way. We kids were always on our best behavior when Georgie was around. Don't mess with the boss. She could carve you up with a few choice, accurate words before you knew what hit you.
We lived just a couple of blocks from Georgie and Bernie in Vernon. They had a nice older house with way more bedrooms than they needed. And lots of lawn. And lots of garden for them both. They both enjoyed gardening. And a view. Their house was fun for kids. You could explore it for a long time, it was so big. And they had three cats. Teddy, Murphy, and Princess. Teddy nailed me on the nose once when I got too forward with him. I howled. But Georgie said "Serves you right. He's a nice cat. You just have to behave around him. And don't stick your nose too close to his." I remember being a little surprised that Georgie would side with a cat over me. But she was right. Teddy didn't hurt me bad. Just a swat on the nose to teach me to keep my distance. And a couple of drops of blood.
As you can see in the pictures, Georgie had cats all her life. The first pictures I have of Georgie show her happy in the company of a cat. The cats of hers I knew, much later on, Teddy, Murphy, and Princess, were friendly kitties. Teddy was old enough that he was boss cat and didn't put up with any nonsense from kids. And, toward the end of her life, Georgie had many many cats. After she passed away, her favorite cat, Pepi, came to Victoria with us. And Pepi was my dad's cat, then. And when dad passed away, I got Pepi. Pepi lived till 20. Putting her down was like putting a sister down.
After Georgie's last husband, Henry Irvine, passed away, she acquired far more cats than she'd ever had before. She had over a half dozen indoor cats and had at least as many outdoor ones. But, when I was a kid, she just had Teddy, Murphy, and Princess. Dignified and friendly cats, excepting Teddy. Teddy was grey like uncle Bernie—the exact same shade of grey—but not as nice.
I remember sleeping over at Georgie's place one Easter when I was about seven. I wondered if the Easter Bunny would visit in the morning, whether he would know that I was staying at Georgie's. But, at that age, I also wondered if this Bunny existed at all.
In the morning, I woke to the sound of a loud bump. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw Georgie, at the other side of the fairly large room, hopping out the doorway, foot in hand, cursing ever so slightly as she went. She'd stubbed her toe while in the room and was attempting a quick exit without being seen.
Even a seven-year-old can find that funny. I chuckled, but not loud enough to be heard, and got up to check out that part of the room. Sure enough. There was an Easter basket with some candy and a baseball glove in it. She was secretly the Easter Bunny! No, I wasn't quite that dumb. I grew more fond of Georgie from that little incident. I didn't tell her I'd seen her. It was clear, from what I'd seen, that there was no Easter Bunny. But it was endearing and funny that she hopped out the room a bit like one. The Easter Bunny disappeared into a muffledly cursing Georgie hopping out stage right. I grew up a little there, with Georgie's unwitting assistance.
I had a birthday party at Georgie's house when I was seven or eight. It was a great party for me and my friends. Lots of room to play. The hide and seek game was fabulous, in that huge house. Georgie wasn't there, though. Neither was Bernie. But it was nice of them to let the party happen there.
I would visit Georgie Saturday and/or Sunday mornings. She would feed me some fabulous pound cake. And Bernie taught me how to swing a golf club and play chess. Those were memorable visits, to me, and I felt close to Georgie and Bernie.
But it wasn't too long after that when my relationship with Georgie changed. Sometimes, when dad was traveling, Georgie would come over to our house in the evening and drink with mom. Both of them were developing drinking problems. All five of the siblings had drinking problems. Mind you, alcohol and cigarettes were like meat and potatoes in Vernon in the fifties and sixties. There wasn't a lot to do. And alcohol and cigarettes were just way more popular in North American culture, at that time, than they are now.
Georgie would come over and drink with mom late enough that I was in bed. Sometimes these sessions would get quite nasty, with Georgie dressing mom down and mom crying and Georgie eventually stomping off home. It was all loud and scary enough that I didn't sleep while it happened. I don't know what the particular subject of these emotional assaults on mom was. Whether it was Credit Union related or just a stage of alcoholism. But it was very disturbing to me to have mom verbally attacked by Georgie. I was only nine or ten. I didn't have much of a clue what was going on. And mom forbade me from saying anything to Georgie about it.
But, from then on, I was very wary of Georgie. The trust dried up. Both Georgie and mom, when drinking, could get mean. A Jekyll and Hyde thing. When they were drunk and flashed a certain cruel smile, you knew you were in for some verbal trouble. And, often, they would forget it all the next day.
But both of them lived lives that, with these sorts of odd and occasional exceptions, were lives of kindness, generosity, service, and humility. Alcohol would temporarily turn them into people that they weren't, otherwise. I myself have said hurtful things while drunk that I wish I could take back but can't. Alcohol only profits those who make it and sell it.
In 1970 we moved from Vernon to Victoria. My father's job with the federal forestry had moved to Victoria. He didn't want to move and, for a year, tried to find another job. But he couldn't find anything as good. So we moved. That move was the cause of the worst fights my parents ever had. Mom's whole family was in Vernon and Armstrong. She was devoted to her family. But she gave in, eventually. Dad hoped it would help her quit drinking. It didn't.
Nor did it help Georgie's problem with alcohol, apparently. She was ousted from the Credit Union in 1974. As I understand it, there were two main causes. One of them was alcohol.
But the second was the beginning of the computer revolution in business. The Credit Unions in the province were beginning to be computerized. But that was just so not Georgie's style. She wasn't running any sort of impersonal system. Her whole approach was personal and familial. You get that impression from one of the articles on her:
Despite the achievements of her 27-year tenure, Blakely will likely be best remembered for her unorthodox and colorful management style.
Whether it was her habit of filing outgoing mail on the floor, or the wooden kitchen stool she offered guests, or her refusal to use an office, Blakely cut her own path.
The writer is saying that despite her achievement of raising the bank to a success it hasn't enjoyed since, she'll be remembered for the character she was—because she was so exceptional as a person. She was a non-conformist and an extraordinarily strong individual.
The transition to a computerized banking system was just not one that Georgie would appreciate, understand, or have great motivation to execute. Surely she must have wondered why they wanted to fix something that so patently was not broken–or broke. Her Credit Union was a triumph of the personal, of the feminine, of real community involvement, of the familial, of trust. And of fun. Of everything that she stood for and loved. It must have been terribly painful for her to have it fall away or apart in the face of the machinations of history, of "progress".
Business, like everything else, was a personal affair, for her, so the sorts of systems of computing, at that stage, would not have made much sense to her. But, also, I remember her snapping at me a couple of times, saying "Don't try to educate me, Jimmy." And I remember that I hadn't actually been trying to educate her, but just commenting on how I saw something. I guess whatever I'd been saying just rubbed her the wrong way, didn't make sense to her, or struck her as intellectual but uninformed by experience. In any case, she did have a certain resistance to 'being educated', which is somewhat odd in someone so intelligent and someone who obviously had to learn a great deal to manage the Credit Union so successfully for so long. One would think she had to have approached that very sensitively as a continual learning experience.
It's too bad the Systems Analysts couldn't learn from her nor she from them. Clearly the Credit Union suffered, as did Georgie.
At the same time that was going on in Vernon, my mom was in Victoria working at a Credit Union there, after our move from Vernon. And what was she doing? The Victoria Credit Union was in the midst of a move to the use of computers. Mom was a Teller by day, and at night, she'd pour over computer printouts looking for errors. And she'd find them, too. And try to figure out the logic. And communicate her findings to someone in the system and hope it got fixed. She loved doing that sort of stuff. It put her considerable mental powers to work solving riddles. I wonder if Georgie could have made the transition to computing if mom had been there, in Vernon, during that time? I guess we'll never know. In any case, they were a significant duo working together at the Credit Union in Vernon, I expect.
But getting ousted at the Credit Union wasn't the end of Georgie's life. Not by a long stretch. After her life at the Credit Union was over in 1974, she bought a corner store and ran that very well, very ship-shape. Members of the family worked there. John and Joe Henderson, Elinor's kids (Elinor was mom's twin), worked there.
Bernie, her husband, died in 1977 at the age of 75. He is still missed by those who knew him. He was a gem of a man. Georgie was 51 at the time. She was single for another long stretch, until 1990, when she married her third husband, Henry Irvine.
Actually, Georgie and Henry were together for several years prior to their marriage. They finally ran off to Las Vegas, when Georgie was 64, and tied the knot. Georgie told me that Henry "was the love of my life." I was surprised. I'd thought Bernie had been. But Bernie was 25 years older than Georgie. Perhaps he was more of a mentor to her. Whereas Henry was more or less her own age. If Henry was the love of her life, what was Bernie to her? Bernie was her teacher and lover and calming, comforting assuror in times of difficult decisions. He was with her in her busy days of running the Credit Union. Whereas Henry was with her when they both could just spend their days with one another. I think she loved Bernie too, and that he loved her. But her focus, at that point in her life, was on her life at work. It had to be. It couldn't have been so easy to do what she did.
It was during the time that Georgie and Henry were running the corner store—simply called Georgie's Market—that I decided I wanted to be a writer. I remember telling Georgie this when I was about 21 or so. She said to me "Well, then, you'd better go where the bears are."
I knew what she meant by this. That I'd better go where the real writers, the serious writers, were. But it also made me think of some pictures of Georgie feeding the bears in Yellowstone Park in 1957. She and my mom, Bob and Anna Cail fed the bears. There are pictures of the whole fool lot of them feeding momma bear and the cubs. And of momma bear with her paws on the fully open window on the driver's side, head in the car. And Bob in the driver's seat. Not something that would happen today, I expect. But it's appropriate to have some pictures of wild beasts eating meekly from Georgie's hands.
In any case, years after Georgie told me I'd better go where the bears are, after having become a writer, I told her I'd figured out where the real bears are. "Where's that?" she asked. "They're way out there in their wilderness," I said. She took a sip of her drink, a drag on her cigarette, and said "I expect you're right." Georgie knew where the real bears were. She was one herself.
Even though I was wary of Georgie, I always admired her. She was bold, confident, courageous, accomplished, a leader, tough, intelligent, and honest. I loved her as an aunt, as family, but also because she was so many of the things I hoped I would someday be. She didn't have any kids, but I think lots of her nieces and nephews looked up to her in ways that she might not have realized.
When she became terminally ill with cancer, my mom and dad went to Vernon to care for her at the end. I think that was for a couple of months. Just as mom did that for Elinor, mom's twin. And Margaret and Emerson, my grandma and grandpa. Georgie, of course, didn't go without a fight. There was at least one occasion when mom and/or dad got the drug dosage wrong of morphine. And Georgie, overdosing, hit dad over the head with a metal frying pan and accused them of trying to kill her. And I'm sure it was a trial for Georgie and mom and dad alike. But mom wanted to be there for her sister. And was. Those three sisters were so close. That whole Cail family was close. Grandma and Grandpa and their five kids: Bob, John, Georgie, Evelyn and Elinor.
I understand now that Georgie stood for the same things my mom and Elinor did, though Georgie had a more prominent position in society, while she was managing the Credit Union. They all stood for love, understanding, meaningful service to others, and fairness and equality between people in society. Basically, they stood for each other. They stood for their friends and family and for their community. And, of course, a stiff drink, a smoke, and good times with friends and family.
And this is a typical kind of Canadian ethos. There's nothing nationalistic about it at all. There's nothing doctrinaire or overtly ideological about it, apart from its unvarnished capitalism. It's an ethos of personal relationships. It's not overtly religious, either. It's about loyalty to friends and family and community. It's about treating people right. Georgie's managerial style, which was so personal, was her embodiment of that ethos. The Credit Union Georgie and mom and many others built together was not, you know, from corporate headquarters in Toronto. It was right from the heart of the community. It was a union of community. Georgie understood that. She saw the beauty in it. And so others could also see it.
Probably the above note from Georgie was mainly for mom, Georgie's sister. Mom was the one Georgie named to be the executor of her will, and mom and dad and Elinor were the main care-givers toward the end; Georgie passed away at home.
But it could as well be addressed to you or me. This is the last writing I have from Georgie. It's beautiful. She was ready. She was one courageous old lion of a woman, and she was not afraid of death. She was curious already about the next stage. And it wasn't so much a farewell note as 'we will meet again, don't worry about me.' There was a woman who followed her own path. Yet she was also so close with her family and friends.
And she was also a woman of faith. Again, not a particularly doctrinaire faith, it seems to me. But a trust that they would indeed meet again on "the other side of the curtain". A faith that there was more to the story. Or that, in any conceivably appealing notion of one's state after death, the connections with family and friends, being beautiful and true and deepest of life, would not be lost, being so central to the meaning of life.
So that, even if we don't meet on "the other side of the curtain" and after we die, that's it, end of story for us—Georgie's note is at least a poetic expression to her sister Evelyn of how important Evelyn and her other friends and family have been to Georgie. It's a statement about what is really of value in this life, regardless of whether we meet up in any next life. And it's a statement to her sister of her love for her.
That's Georgie's sort of poetry. Spoken or written in full involvement in life at the moment. That's part of what made her such a charismatic inspiration. Her full involvement in the present.

Ava's Possessions – Interview with Film Director Jordan Galland
Taylor Ryan
Film Director Interviews
While most exorcism movies are about the possession itself, Ava's Possessions instead explores the victimization of possession. We don't get a derivative self-serious possession flick, but rather a look at what life is like after a demonic possession has occurred. The film follows Ava on her road to recovery after being body snatched for an entire month. With no recollection of the past, Ava is court mandated to attend a Spirit Possession Anonymous support group to pick up the pieces of her life and figure out what happened. I was able to send over some questions to writer/director Jordan Galland about how this innovative concept turned into his sophomore film.
What was the first movie that made you want to be a part of the film industry?
It was either The Godfather, A Clockwork Orange or The Shining. I watched them all when I was quite young, and I remember being babysat by my grandmother who took me to the video store—she didn't exactly know what I was renting. I had known my parents wouldn't let me rent them so this was my shot. It happened a couple times, and those movies really got me excited about making films.
What was the biggest lesson you learned from Alter Egos that you brought along with you to this one?
My biggest lesson was to try to make the cinematography closer to what was in my head. I don't know what happened on Alter Egos exactly—maybe we didn't have enough time or budget—but I allowed the look of the film to be more grounded and homemade looking, which to be fair, is what played for humour, and was what I told the DP, Chris Lavasseur, to do. But I know I was hoping to make it feel more fantastical like we had done with my first film, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead. That's why I really pushed for a fantasy quality with the cinematography on Ava's Possessions. And Adrian Correia the DP was amazing to work with.
This is one of the most original pieces I've seen in a while. You've probably been asked this a thousand times, but can you tell us about where this concept came from? Were there any outside influences?
In many ways this idea was born from my first short film, Smile for the Camera, which I tried to develop into a feature, and then that became something else, and then that became something else, and that fourth or fifth version of something involving demons became Ava's Possessions. I was struggling with a demon film idea for years, trying to find an original way into the genre. So then one day I realized it could be about someone recovering from demonic possession. I think Rosemary's Baby was the biggest influence for that. Following one female lead, mostly in her apartment and on the street in New York City, untangling this conspiracy. And I think Polanski's early film, Repulsion, is a template for that as well.
How much research, if any, did you do on the topics of black magic and possession when you were writing this or are these topics you're already familiar with?
I was already very familiar with them from years of being a fan of that stuff, in fiction, non-fiction, and films. Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum was really my bible for a secret history of black magic.
Demon possession has long been used as an allegory for addiction; was that something you intended on addressing with this film?
It's just joined at the hip, really. The word spirit means alcohol and it means demon, so it fell into place naturally in the story. It was interesting to explore demonic possession as an oddly practical problem to solve.
This movie does everything. It's funny, it's scary, there's mystery and suspense. I don't think I've ever seen a horror-comedy neo-noir. Is this something you intended on doing from the start or did it just fall together?
Thank you for saying that! Yes, it was my intention to work in multiple genres that way. And it's always a fight because so many people want you to make up your mind, stick to one genre, so it was hard to get producers on board. But actors and the crew love it because it's exhilarating to work on a film that feels like it hasn't been done before.
I read that you had some constraints regarding color in your last film Alter Egos. The lighting and colors remind me of Beetlejuice with the intense saturation and bold blues, reds and greens, so I'm really glad there were no constraints this time around. Can you tell me about those constraints and why you wanted to bring color to Ava's Possessions?
Ha, I sort of answered this question earlier, but will elaborate. In Alter Egos, we had a little less money, so that was part of it, but also, it was set entirely in daylight, and in the woods, so there was not much to justify colored lighting, and we were fighting the sun a lot. The color in that film came from the costumes only. Which was part of the vision. Ava's Possessions is completely the opposite in many ways. It's mostly at night in the city so there are plenty of ways to justify colored lights, from neon signs, street lights, etc.
I know you have a music background as well, did you help Sean Lennon with the score?
I worked very closely with Sean on this score and even played some of the instruments myself. But Sean did most of the heavy lifting and composing.
Tell us about the casting process. Were these actors you already had in mind for your project?
Casting seemed almost endless. Once I got Louisa Krause on board for Ava, then I cast her family essentially to be believably related her. But we were casting other actors right up until shooting. We had a lot of auditions, which was exhausting but also wonderful because I was able to cast some great actors in smaller roles if they were nice enough and didn't have an ego issue with it. Many actors came in for Tony and Roger, and they were so good, I begged them to do smaller roles, almost like cameos.
Louisa Krause is awesome in this; playing someone possessed can often come off very campy, but she nailed it. How was it working with her? Did you guys develop the character Ava together or did you already have her drawn up?
Louisa is a genius, and I couldn't have been luckier. She essentially wrote a whole novel of backstory for her character the size of War and Peace and I never really saw it. She would sometimes allude to it. I just gave her a lot of movies to watch, from My Own Private Idaho to Silence of the Lambs and Girl Interrupted. Not for performance, but for mood and themes.
What is your favorite scene in the film and what was your favorite scene to film?
My favorite scene in the film is when she is in the lawyers office the first time, with Dan Fogler. It's just really funny and dark, and it's that exciting moment in the beginning of the story where the hero gets the ultimatum. Either do this thing or go to jail. So she has to do this recovery program. Oddly it was one of my least favorite scenes to film. It was the last day, and I was exhausted.
My favorite scene to film was probably something that was cut because chances are if I'm enjoying it too much it's not as good as the scenes that are not fun to shoot. But probably the rooftop spell scene with Annabelle was my favorite to film, and my other favorite scene in the movie.
You do it all: writer, director, musician, editor. Do you prefer one over the others and why?
I love directing and would be happy to hire other talented people to do all those other jobs. I think it compromises the film a little when the director has to wear multiple hats because he will miss a detail somewhere. But it does make the movie more personal. It's like handmade clothes.
You've got an infinite budget and all the time you need, what kind of project do you tackle?
I would want to make film adaptations of Foucault's Pendulum, Nabokav's ADA or Marisha Pessl's Night Film. Maybe as a mini series like 11.22.63 which I'm really enjoying.
A script I wrote called Devil's Fork is being prepped with producers at Fortress Features. It's like Misery meets Memento.

DELIGHTING young explorers who seek fun in their daily ride, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India made its much-awaited entry into the growing middle-weight motorcycle segment with the launch of CB300R – its second Neo Sports Café offering in India.
The Neo-Sports Café family is Honda's ultra-modern minimalistic take on the timeless roadster design. CB300R is inspired by its powerful sibling CB 1000R Neo Sports Café which was originally showcased at the Tokyo Motor Show 2017. Developed as the ultimate Sports Roadster to 'Transform mere travel into a playful ride', CB300R is pure fun to ride an absolute joy to own.
The style is deliberate reductions when it comes to CB300R. The styling 'language' is modern and minimalist, mixing café racer inspirations with a super-compact 'trapezoid' form.
It is the combined effect of the impressive design features that make the CB300R so complete and unique.
The blacked-out hardware – the engine and casings announce its aggressive character. Adding a sharp contrast to this are the brushed aluminum radiator shroud, premium finish parts of steel tabular frame and contrasting black with chrome underslung dual chamber exhaust that sweeps up on the rear.
Riders can now get ready to outshine others as all lights including indicators on CB300R are LED. The round metal rim headlight with its built-in horseshoe come armed with the signature two-bar light feature while the taillight is the thinnest ever to be mounted on a Honda motorcycle. The thin lightweight &fully digitalised LCD meter display provides speed, engine rpm, fuel level, and gear position simply with warning lights arrayed across the top.
The free-revving 286cc DOHC 4-valve liquid cooled single cylinder engine with PGM-FI technology pulls smoothly in town and delivers strong performance on the highway too. The 2-room structure in the engine's interior increases acceleration efficiency while producing a powerful & aggressive engine sound.
The combination of torque output and lightest weight in the 300cc segment allows CB300R to gain the best IN CLASS Torque-to-Weight ratio.
The front 37.6 cm3 hubless floating disc and 30.0 cm3 rear floating disc are modulated by 2 channel ABS which works on FIRST IN CLASS Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The IMU action gives the uniform front to the rear distribution of ABS operation and maintains the stability of the vehicle even during sudden brake application.
Being a part of 'sport naked' family, CB300R surrenders to rider's control by centralising the heavy parts near the center of gravity. All of this offers a tuned rigidity balance ensuring outstanding feedback while riding.
Tipping the scales at just 147kg, CB300R is the LIGHTEST MOTORCYCLE IN ITS CATEGORY! This dark beast takes styling cues from its elder sibling the CB1000R with the promise of smooth handling. The brand new frame mixes pressed and tabular steel and is anchored by pressed steel swingarm pivot plates and swingarm deliver agile handling with stability. Complimenting this, are the 41mm USD front forts. Making CB300R perfect for Indian roads are the fat bar-style handlebars with 40° radius, 2.3m turning radius, single rear shock with 5-step spring preload adjustment and compact 1344mm wheelbase.
To reduce maintenance costs – an important factor for younger riders – the engine is also designed with the minimum number of moving parts. Details like the low-friction piston rings, high-density core radiator, and iridium spark plug help increase fuel efficiency.
The all-new CB300R comes in two rich colours – Matte Axis Gray Metallic & Candy Chromosphere Red.
Representing good value for money that exceeds customer's expectation, CB300R is priced aggressively starting Rs 2.41 lacs (Ex-showroom, pan India). Bookings are open at the exclusive Wing World dealerships across India for Rs. 5,000 only with deliveries slated from March 2019 onwards.


MeetingMetrics, an online platform that measures meeting results, released Version 3.1 on Monday. The update expands the software's continuing-education capabilities in the form of "self-serve" certificates that participants can download and submit for professional development requirements. The new version also will produce and deliver different types of CE certificates for the same education session, for attendees earning multiple certifications. Also new to the update is a Link-Enable feature, which integrates with registration systems to send session survey links to all event registrants. The latest version of MeetingMetrics is being used at a variety of current and upcoming industry events to measure their effectiveness, including AIBTM and the Professional Convention Management Association's Education Conference, both taking place this week in Baltimore, the Financial and Insurance Conference Planners's Education Conference, and Meeting Professionals International's World Education Conference.


Long before I knew about puppet (or heard about chef via vagrant), I was working on a system with around 100 virtual hosts, nearly all of them configured from a small pool of standard features. This made for a long, complicated vhosts.conf file, which we managed by keeping it in alphabetical order and using search a lot. I realized that a lot of the duplication could be removed by generating it from a template file.
Last night, I was dreaming that they took all the special variables out of perl because they're too powerful… everything like $_ and $. and $[. Basically, all of perlvar was completely removed from the language.
Except, if you knew where to look for it, this one was still there. You assigned a function to it and it became a handle for modifying Reality itself. I linked it to tr/[a-z]/[A-Z]/ and pushed the frame of it over the plate-glass window of the bank, and the gold-foil lettering announcing the name of the bank*, indeed, changed to uppercase.

Sanjay and Craig: Fight the Future with Flavor! is the first graphic novel from Nickelodeon and Papercutz
I do just about anything that I can to get my eight year old son to read. It just is not something that he is all that interested in, so I am always looking for books that keep him interested. We just received a graphic novel from Sanjay and Craig and Papercutz for review, and he really likes it! While there is not a whole lot os "reading" in this because it reads more like a comic book, it is something different from the tablet or Xbox that he is interested in, and that makes this mama happy! He happily read the book for over 30 minutes this afternoon without complaint, and if he loves it that much, I know your school aged kids will as well!
Nickelodeon's animated television series Sanjay and Craig follows best buds Sanjay Patel and Craig Slithers as they embark on epic kid-inspired quests that are at times totally ridiculous, absolutely gross and weirdly sweet. Now, the duo is set to conquer a new medium - the world of comics and graphic novels - with Sanjay and Craig: Fight the Future With Flavor! This brand-new 52-page graphic novel marks the debut of a new collection of graphic novels from Nickelodeon and Papercutz, and features the adventures of Sanjay and his pet snake Craig as they live for friends, cheesy movies and hot wings. Sanjay and Craig: Fight the Future With Flavor! will be available in paperback and hardcover on September 22, 2015, in stores, online and in libraries.
Upcoming graphic novels will feature other Nickelodeon animated shows including Breadwinners, available on November 17, along with Harvey Beaks and Pig Goat Banana Cricket, set for release early next year.
The graphic novels will collect comics from the recently launched Nickelodeon Magazine, a monthly publication which aims to give fans a new way to experience the Nickelodeon animated characters they love through original comics as well as games, puzzles and other activities for kids.

8 interior design trends set to be huge in 2022, according to interior designers
If you're looking to switch up your space for the new year, these are the need-to-know interior design trends that are set to dominate in 2022
(Image credit: Lilas Gh/Getty Images)
By Emma Kershaw published 1 January 22
Find new home decor ideas and fresh inspiration for your space with the interior design trends set to be big in 2022.
After another turbulent year where we have spent more time at home, many of us have found solace in the world of interior design. Whether you've worked on a new DIY project, re-arranged your space to make room for a home office or have spent hours taking design inspiration from social media, interior design has transformed the hobbies of many into a passion.
While the Pantone Color of the Year 2022 and the top interior paint color trends set the tone for the new year when it comes to interior design, you can also expect this year to be governed by the future. Sustainability and the desire to reduce, reuse and recycle retro or vintage furniture are interior design trends that aren't going anywhere in 2022, as we continue to work towards a greener tomorrow.
Top interior design trends of 2022
1. Velvet revival
(Image credit: John Keeble/Getty Images)
While velvet has been a huge trend over the last few years, it still remains a popular choice for many. Rachel Epstein, Design Specialist and Creative Director of CARME Home, says that a retro revival will see the luxe fabric continue to be key player in the home in 2022:
"Due to the '70s retro revival we are seeing all over interior design, velvet is one of the most prominent comebacks! A fabric that can sometimes be tricky to style but beautiful when done correctly."
"When looking to add a touch of velvet elegance to your home, consider what other fabrics that item will be paired with. Velvet accent chairs, headboards, cushions, or stools are a great place to start experimenting with this luxurious material."
Adding subtle hints of the fabric will add an elegant finish to any room, while bigger pieces like CARME Home's Velvet Dressing Table make a bold statement.
2. Multifunctional spaces

Multifunctional spaces will also reign in 2022, according to Rachel, thanks to the continuation of office closures and the popularity of working from home:
"Thanks to our 'new normal' of remote working, homes have changed to suit needs for the whole house. But, if you don't have the space to dedicate an entire four walls with square footage to the cause, we have the perfect solution. Invest in furniture that serves more than one purpose. Whether it's a dressing table that converts into a desk, or a mirror that hides a jewelry cabinet, there are plenty of brilliant furniture pieces that act as storage solutions."
3. Sustainable materials
(Image credit: Olga Peshkova/Getty Images)
In 2022, sustainable living and eco-friendly, ethical choices will remain a huge focus for many people.
"There is ever more focus on sustainability in our homes, from the products we use to how we design a space," says designer Jojo Bradley. "Think reclaimed, recycled, pre-loved, and ethically sourced."
According to Pinterest's annual trend report, Pinterest Predicts, raw materials and nature-focused designs will also dominate this year. earches for "staircase gardens" are up 175%, while the term "biophilic architecture" has seen a 150% increase since last year.
For an eco-friendly home makeover, consider investing in furniture made from raw materials or reclaimed wood. If you're looking to give your walls a lick of paint, brands like Edward Bulmer use only pure, natural ingredients, and pride themselves on being carbon neutral and 100% toxin-free.
4. Curve appeal
(Image credit: Taylor Howes/C.P. Hart)
"From architecture to furniture, the integration of curved shapes and organic lines within the home are to be welcomed in 2022," Taylor Howes say in their annual trend report.
"With their primitive foundations and organic grandeur and beauty, soft shapes, gentle curves, and meandering bends within architecture and design are providing a sense of being cocooned and comforted. A feeling of being comforted and soothed plays to our subconscious mind and influences us unknowingly to be drawn to curved products and shapes."
This trend is one that re-appears time and time again. However, the popularity of curves in 2022 will draw on our collective desire to create a feeling of zen at home while the world outside continues to feel tumultuous and uncertain.
5. Go green
(Image credit: Jon Lovette/Getty Images)
Green in approach and green in color, this enchanting hue is set to take 2022 by storm, just as it dominated popular color charts last year. Think sage green walls, olive-toned accessories, or emerald accents, perfect for adding a pop of color to any space.
A surprisingly versatile shade to incorporate into the home, Heather Hacket, Design Manager at household linen company Christy, explains how green can be used in both big and small ways throughout your home:
"Sage and mineral-based greens bring nature indoors and enrich interior spaces. However, a whole green room can seem a bit daunting. If you love the color but don't want to make any permanent changes, add in pops of rich jewel-toned greens through your cushions, prints, and decorative items, such as vases and candlesticks. Green towels and accessories can also add an extra level of depth to a bathroom for the colder months."
6. A fusion of Eastern and Western design

"Chinoiserie has been captivating the imagination of interior designers for years but you'll notice it's had a maximalist makeover. The style, popular from the latter half of the 18th- to the mid-19th century is distinguished by its fantastical oriental scenes and stylized flower and bird motifs," explains Avalana Simpson, founder of Avalana Design.
Avana says that, instead of subtle touches of watercolor, this season we will experience The Orient in ethereal, full wallscaped murals that will certainly make a bold statement.
"Adding a complete scene to your wall creates an instant focal point," she notes. "Silvers and deep greens add harmony while hand-drawn Herons wading through silvery lily ponds and framed by interesting foliage results in a show-stopping theme. Complete the look with tan, copper, gold, or warm yellow furniture and textiles.
Another great example of mixed culture design is the popular Japandi design trend, which has been a popular choice for many over the last few years. Combining the rustic minimalism of Scandinavian interiors with the soft aesthetics of Japanese design, it's a delicate and sophisticated trend that brings warmth and comfort into any space and will endure into 2022.
7. Cool tones

Both Dulux and Pantone have chosen cool shades for their annual 'Color of the Year' predictions, setting a new interior design trend for 2022.
"Cooler colors will start to creep into our homes, led by Pantone's Very Peri and Dulux's Bright Skies," predicts Sylvia James, Interior designer at HomeHow.
"Bright Skies works very well with light wood tones whilst Very Peri can be used to add more energy to interiors currently dominated by whites and greys. For those not wishing to go overboard with these tones, try introducing them through art prints, throws, or ceramics."
8. Open shelving

Say goodbye to cabinet doors in 2022, as open shelving is set to be the hottest kitchen trend of the year. Adding depth and character to the space, displaying your crockery will make your room feel brighter and more open.
"Display shelves and open spaces have already been seen in other parts of the home for years," says Jenni Greenwood, a Cheshire-based interior designer. "It takes your space from a functional space to more of a place to entertain."
Not a kitchen storage idea for those who can't stand clutter, Darren Watts, Showroom Development & Design Director at Wren Kitchens, explains how open shelving adds a cozy element to the home: "This is definitely more of a contemporary option that can look super stylish when done correctly. It can also create a really homely, inviting look having pots, pans, and the like on display."

Q: Trying to deal with IO actions I'm trying to deal with IO actions. I wonder why does this work:
main = do
  alias = getLine
  name <- alias
  putStrLn ("your name is: " ++ name)

saying
 parse error on input `='

A: Add keyword let
main = do
  let alias = getLine
  name <- alias
  putStrLn ("your name is: " ++ name)

do is a specified construction for monadic bind operator, it's not a cosmic space. All you write into block do is really chain of >>= monaidic functions. So you should use let construction.
But you can make alias in other part of you program.
alias = getLine

main = do
  name <- alias
  putStrLn ("your name is: " ++ name)

Website records testimonies of anti-Semitism on US campuses
by JewishNews-Ester
'I am terrified knowing I may not be able to discuss my Judaism without taunts, or worse, violence,' says Northwestern University student.
A new webpage launched this week features over 100 testimonies of anti-Semitism from students across the United States over the past year and a half.
The nonprofit campus watchdog AMCHA is behind the new project, gathered from public reports and students at 47 American colleges and universities across 20 states.
In their reports, many students said they felt intimidated and frightened by anti-Semitism. Others said they wanted to keep their Jewish identities a secret to prevent being targeted by their classmates.
One student from the University of Washington wrote that after seeing his Star of David, some people "brand me as someone toxic, someone worthy of their disdain and vitriol.

Another student from the University of North Carolina said that he was taunted by anti-Semitic classmates who also made references to the Holocaust. The student admitted his fear, explaining "I wear shirts with the word Israel on it or shirts with Hebrew lettering, I have Israel stickers on my laptop… (I have been) spat at. I have been called a terrorist, baby killer, woman killer, (told that) I use blood to make matza and other foods, Christ killer, occupier, and much more… (A female student) looked at me with a straight face and said to 'go burn in an oven.'"
At Northwestern University, where anti-Semitism has been on the rise, a student said: "I am terrified knowing I may not be able to discuss my Judaism without taunts, or worse, violence."
At Florida State University, a Palestinian student accused a Jewish student of being a Nazi, a racist, and "an imperialist who needs to check my white privilege.
"I think for the first time in my adult life, I truly understand what it means to stare racism straight in the face," the FSU victim explained.
"From their harassment of students participating in the spring break trip, to the Nazi incident and anti-Zionist rhetoric that verges on blood libel, SJP has done everything in its power to make Vassar an unsafe space for Jews," said a student from Vasser college.
These attacks on Judaism not only create emotional distress, but also can have "devastating effects" on students academically. One student complained of being "so riddled with anxiety I couldn't sleep."
All of the statements published on the website have either been stated publicly or have been quoted by the press, according to the AMCHA. Many students specifically mentioned the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) as being responsible for the unsafe conditions on campuses for Jews today.

A structural adhesive is one that can be utilized to create a load-bearing joint. Nonetheless, the term is regularly associated with those adhesives that are used for engineering applications where joints will commonly have lap shear strengths of more prominent than 1MPa and ordinarily, more than 10MPa. Adhesives that don't commonly provide such structural function are called sealants. Frequently however, the difference between a sealant and a structural adhesive is obscured as it relies upon the loading of the joint and the end use.
Being the hardest and most flexible structural adhesives, polyurethane-based cements are foreseen to display generous request over the projection time frame, thereby boosting the development of the market. The market will encounter development inferable from its unique capacity to offer extraordinary security quality and quick curing speed for dissimilar and comparative substrates in the automobile business.

Can you believe he was 9lb 11oz at birth?
What happened to my chubby baby boy?
Logan is beginning his 3rd season playing basketball at the YMCA. We went to practice tonight and at the end of practice, the coaches had them scrimmage. Since they didn't have any pinnies to wear so the kids knew who was on their team, they played shirts vs. skins. It was the funniest thing to see the looks on the boys faces when the coach told certain boys to take their shirts off....priceless!! After the coaches finally got the shirts off, the boys were so modest....except Logan...of course! He just got back in the game and started playing. I remember watching Gene play in skins at the Hoop-it-Up outdoor tournaments...hubba hubba. I am sure glad my kids have his good genes when it comes to muscle tone!! Logan is only 5 and has a six-pack...not fair! I know Logan will play in many more shirts vs. skins games but I will definitely never forget his first...too funny!
Gene and Stephen boxing with the Wii...intense!
We spent this Christmas in Katy, Texas at my sister's new house. It is always nice to have family around and build memories together. Mill and Stephen got the Wii so we spent two days playing it.....lots of competitive fun! We just got off the phone with our family in California...we miss y'all!! Maybe next Christmas we can spend it in sunny California. :)Enjoy the pictures of our fun family time. Here's to a great new year!!!
The Watts Family would like to wish everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. Be Blessed!!
We are so proud of Trinity!! She had her performance today with her class and they did the Sound of Music. She sang "A Few of My Favorite Things" There is a video clip of most of the song...my camera cut off but Gene got it all on the video camera. She had so many people there cheering her on....Coach Weaver, Coach Blackman, Coach Fuente and Cecilia, Rosie, and the ENTIRE basketball program. Great Job Trinity!!
Gene has coached Brittney and Margaret Smith for many years. They played for him with Team Ichiban and then came over to go to school and play for him at All Saints'. They are great girls and we are so proud of them. Now, they are standout players for Dartmouth, an Ivy League School. Last night they played against SMU and we went out to Dallas to watch them. They had a great game but unfortunately their team lost in the last seconds...63-65. Our kids were excited to see their "babysitters" hoopin it up on the court. Trinity was actually part of the half-time entertainment. She raced a 10 year old girl...they had to put on a HUGE jersey, shorts and shoes and then go dribble a ball and shoot it. She almost beat the girl!
Trinity's class invited the parents to help build gingerbread houses. It was a lot of fun and I was so impressed by the creativity of all the kiddos. I especially enjoyed spending some one on one time with my middle child, Trinity Blake. I love you baby!
Kids on the charter bus...having a blast!
Gene's boys' basketball team went down to The Woodlands to play in a round robin tournament at John Cooper School. The kids and I joined them on the bus for a short road trip. The bus ride down was fun...we ate lots of snacks and watched Kung-Fu-Panda and Shrek 2. I was just glad I didn't have to drive and I could just sit back and relax. Mom, Jess, Mill and the boys met us Saturday afternoon for some lunch and shopping at Sam Moon. It was a short visit but I cherish anytime I get to visit with my family. See you all at Christmas!!
I want to wish my wonderful Mother a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! As I mentioned in a previous post, my Mom is awesome! She has always put her daughters before herself. I could not have asked for a better role model. I love you mom and hope you have a wonderful birthday!!

Q: Cassandra Load status does not update (nodetool status) Using the nodetool status I can read out the Load of each node. Adding or removing data from the table should have direct impact on that value. However, the value remains the same, no matter how many times the nodetool status command is executed.
Cassandra documentation states that the Load value takes 90 seconds to update. Even allowing several minutes between running the command, the result is always wrong. The only way I was able to make this value update, was to restart the node.
I don't believe it is relevant, but I should add that I am using docker containers to create the cluster.

A: In the documentation that you linked, under Load it also says

Because all SSTable data files are included, any data that is not
  cleaned up, such as TTL-expired cell or tombstoned data is counted.

It's important to note that when Cassandra deletes data, the data is marked with a tombstone and doesn't actually get removed until compaction. Thus, the load doesn't decrease immediately. You can force a major compaction with nodetool compact.
You can also try flushing memtable if data is being added. Apache notes that

Cassandra writes are first written to the CommitLog, and then to a
  per-ColumnFamily structure called a Memtable. When a Memtable is full,
  it is written to disk as an SSTable.

So you either need to add more data until the memtable is full, or you can run a nodetool flush (documented here) to force it.

Q: I manually changed the time in the GUI. Now, my system clock is not synchronized. How can I fix this? As the title says, my system clock is not synchronized. This is problematic since I need to update my software, and I continue to receive errors such as "Release file ... is not valid yet." I have tried multiple fixes throughout this website but none have resolved my issue. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Some additional information:

*

*I am running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (no Windows in dualboot).

*When I run sudo systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd,I get Failed to restart systemd-timesyncd.service: Unit systemd-timesyncd.service is masked.

*When I run timedatectl, I get
        Local time: Wed 2022-06-08 03:33:34 CDT
    Universal time: Wed 2022-06-08 08:33:34 UTC
          RTC time: Wed 2022-06-08 08:33:34
         Time zone: America/Chicago (CDT, -0500)

System clock synchronized: no
       NTP service: n/a
   RTC in local TZ: no

*Also, because I tried some of those previous solutions, I lost the ability to automatically set date and time, as suggested by the first answer to this post.
Settings's GUI:

UPDATES (thanks to user68186)

*

*I have the following in my /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf file:

[Time]
NTP=ntp.ubuntu.com
FallbackNTP=pool.ntp.org
#RootDistanceMaxSec=5
#PollIntervalMinSec=32
#PollIntervalMaxSec=2048

*MY NTP service is now active again, and the "Automatic Date & Time" switch is once again available in my Settings GUI. This progress was made by referencing this post, since NTP was not supported on my device.

*I still am not having my time synchronized on my device.

*Ran the following commands, which did not return errors!
sudo systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd.service
sudo systemctl start systemd-timesyncd.service

A: Command line steps (Work in progress)
First, unmask the service by:
sudo systemctl unmask systemd-timesyncd

Then install the service again
sudo apt install systemd-timesyncd

Activate NTP:
sudo timedatectl set-ntp true

At this point your NTP service should be active again, and the "Automatic Date & Time" switch is once again available in your Settings GUI.
If that does not help, try these two commands again:
sudo systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd.service
sudo systemctl start systemd-timesyncd.service

I checked two of my computers both has the following lines in their /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf:
[Time]
#NTP=
#FallbackNTP=ntp.ubuntu.com
#RootDistanceMaxSec=5
#PollIntervalMinSec=32
#PollIntervalMaxSec=2048

From the man timesyncd.conf command:

The default configuration is
defined during compilation, so a configuration file is only needed
when it is necessary to deviate from those defaults. By default, the
configuration file in /etc/systemd/ contains commented out entries
showing the defaults as a guide to the administrator. This file can be
edited to create local overrides.

So, it seems editing this file was not needed.
Reboot the computer to make sure the services are initialized at boot time:
sudo reboot

After rebooot, check again:
timedatectl status

Hope this helps
