Nicotine products can stain teeth, fingers and clothing. Some retail products claim to remove nicotine stains, but they often are expensive and contain potentially harmful chemically based ingredients. Instead, remove nicotine stains with inexpensive, natural products found in your home.
Cigarette smoking can cause yellow stains on fingers and fingernails. A simple solution is lemon juice or fresh lemon. If using a fresh lemon, slice in half, and rub the fingers in the fruit for 5 to 10 minutes, or until stains disappear. If using lemon juice, pour 1/2 inch of juice into a small dish, and soak fingers in the juice for 10 minutes. Rinse afterward, and repeat once to twice per week, or as nicotine stains develop.
Teeth also become stained yellow when using nicotine products on a regular basis. This typically requires a tooth-whitening products. Whitening strips can be purchased from your local drugstore, as well as tooth-whitening mouthwash. Whitening toothpaste is also available, and when none of these products work, consult your dentist for a professional tooth-whitening. This can be costly, but it may be the only way to remove the stains.
Soak the garment overnight in a basin of cold water and washing powder. Pour a capful of liquid or powdered detergent into the water, and stir until soap suds form and the soap has dissolved into the water. Place the garment in the basin, submerge under the water, and let soak overnight. The next day, launder as usual. Alternately, soak the garment overnight in a basin of water, and add a denture-cleaning tablet. These tablets are designed to break up residue, including nicotine stains. Launder as usual the following day.

Caffe Nero Coffee Chain Rejects Bid From Billionaire Brothers
By Tony Winterburn • 30 November 2020 • 21:01
STRUGGLING Caffe Nero Coffee Chain Has Rejected a Bid From Billionaire Brothers.
It has been reported that Caffe Nero has rejected a takeover bid from the petrol station entrepreneurs who recently agreed on a deal to buy supermarket chain Asda. Mohsin and Zuber Issa, the billionaire brothers behind EG Group, made the offer over the weekend to the ailing coffee chain's founder and controlling shareholder Gerry Ford.
Caffè Nero at the same time is seeking approval for a rescue deal that would see its rents cut after sales slumped during the lockdown. the company dismissed the bid as "opportunistic" and vowed to go ahead with its plan.
The Caffee Nero Chain – which owns 650 own-brand stores and 150 Harris & Hoole coffee shops – has been hit hard by the reduced footfall in city centres during the pandemic. This has forced it to seek a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) – a type of rescue deal that could see some of its stores shut and rents cut on others.
Insiders had said Caffè Nero, which employs 5,000 people, would be an obvious extension to the Issa's EG Group business. EG also runs 6,000 petrol forecourts in Europe, the US and Australia, and already has brand partnerships with the likes of Starbucks and KFC.

Q: Adapting the background according to screen size android I'm using the WallpaperManager to display a Bitmap in the background.
I'm using wallpaperManager.setBitmap(wallPaper); // wallpaper is a Bitmap of course.
I want to ajust this bitmap to the screen size and to display it in every virtual screen (repeated).
Any tips on that?

A: This article on the Android Developers' site shows the range of screen resolutions for each density.
I believe the wallpapers have to match the screen resolution and are not stretched. You can see this if, for example, you create a new emulator with a high screen density like 480x854. The default home screen background is centred, with large black bands at the top and bottom.
The WallpaperManager API indicates that you must use a PNG- or JPEG-format image, even if you use the setResource() method — the resource must be a Bitmap and so not a nine-patch or other type of Drawable.

A: You can detect the density of the device and then set the wallpapers accordingly:
    DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
    getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
    switch(displayMetrics.densityDpi){
        case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_LOW:
            // Wallpaper for small sized devices.
            break;
        case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_MEDIUM:
            // Wallpaper for medium-sized devices.
            break;
        case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_HIGH:
            // Wallpaper for big-sized devices.
            break;
    }

Once Upon a Time in Mexico
By Hannah Ghorashi
Inspired by idyllic childhood memories, Dezso designer Sara Beltrán has teamed up with floral designer and event producer Sandra Ovando to create a scented candle, Olas. Named after the Spanish word for wave, Olas recalls the saltwater breezes and ultramarine water of Mexican beaches.
"It was like a dream," says Beltrán of the candle's creation, which draws from Beltrán and Ovando's unique backgrounds and marks a singular cornerstone for both brands. A former stylist-turned-accessories designer, Beltrán splits her time between New York and Jaipur, India. She was already a fan of Ovando's specialty flower shops when the two were introduced through a mutual friend. "Sandra happened to be looking for an artist with whom to collaborate, and it was good timing when she approached me," Beltrán explains. "I've done lifestyle products in the past, including furniture design and glassware, but I wanted to do a candle for a long time, and Sandra didn't yet have a candle that reflected the beach. I brought the ocean world of Dezso by Sara Beltrán to Ovando."
Intricately layered with top notes of coconut and labdanum, middle notes of violet and leather, and undertones of vetiver, mysore sandalwood, and oakmoss, the palm soy and coconut wax blend evokes a specific, synesthesia-like nostalgia for the Mexico of the pair's youth. Each candle burns for 60 hours and is encircled with an authentically-sourced Mexican bracelet from Beltrán's jewelry collection. "They're made by a community in Chipas," Beltrán tells us. "Usually the bracelets have a silver or gold shark tooth, but this special one is made from fluorescent flamingo resin."
Coinciding with the launch of the Ovando debut fragrance collection, Olas will be available for purchase in select Dezso and Ovando retail partners this April.

Whose Tale Gets Told? The Whitewashing of Homelessness and Mobility
by Pamela Robertson Wojcik
Homeless street hustler Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) in Trading Places (1983)
Arguing that mobility has to be understood intersectionally, Pamela Robertson Wojcik shows how Hollywood genres about tramps, hitchhikers, and "street people" overwhelmingly privilege white characters even as film and television have started to pay more attention to female homelessness.
[Ed. note: this post is part of a Roundtable discussion on "Media, Precarity and the Home." To read the introduction and other posts in the series, click here.]
Thinking about the various ways in which mobilities have been represented across what I have referred to as the "long arc of genres of precarity," in my last post I noted a "tension in the American imaginary between viewing homelessness as, on the one hand, deviance, or threat, and, on the other, as freedom and independence" related to "how mobility is defined through privilege and precarity." In order to consider questions of privilege — who can choose to be domiciled, who can choose to be unhomed — views of mobility also need to be understood intersectionally, via not only class but also gender, sexuality, race, nationality, abilities, etc.
In my larger work on the figure of the tramp, for example, I cite Michelle Granshaw's argument that early comic tramps in 1870s vaudeville performed equally in blackface or as "stage Irish," which often entailed whiteface; and that both were recognizable through similar characters, costume, and comedy that conflated negative stereotypes of tramps with the racial and national stereotypes, marking the tramps' presumed reluctance to work, laziness, lack of personal hygiene, and ineptitude as racially and/or nationally determined 1Michelle Granshaw, "Inventing the Tramp: The Early Comic on the Variety Stage," Theatre History Studies 38 (2019): 202; see also Tim Cresswell, The Tramp in America (Reaktion Books, 2001), 134-135.. However, as the decade progressed, Granshaw claims that comic tramps were less frequently performed in blackface and became increasingly Irish, which indicated the dominant culture's "limited ability to imagine freedom of mobility for Black Americans" and implicitly tied whiteness to mobility 2Granshaw, 200..
Beggars of Life (William Wellman, 1928)
In the American tramp films I analyze, spanning the decades between the start of cinema and the Second World War, I found that Black tramps were hardly ever represented and when they were, as in Beggars of Life (Wellman, 1928), they existed largely to shore up the white characters. That film introduces a Black tramp, Black Mose (Blue Washington) in a scene at a hobo jungle, or encampment. Gently tending to an ill white tramp, Black Mose says, "Lay still white boy, you guine be ok." When the tramps are chased from the camp, he carries the white tramp to the train. Later, when the tramps are chased again, this time off a train, he carries the white man again. As Louise Brooks's female tramp is in double danger, both from the police on a murder charge and from a vicious tramp who plans to rape her, Black Mose helps her and the Boy (Richard Arlen) find a shack to hide out and then goes to forage food for the sick man. Later, after the sick white tramp dies, and the menacing tramp Oklahoma Red (Wallace Beery) has been converted to goodness by seeing the love between the Girl and Boy, Black Mose supports Oklahoma Red. He helps him divert police attention away from the lovers, and gets arrested while doing it.
The Fisher King (Terry Gilliam, 1991)
Later representations of homelessness in American film also tend to privilege white homelessness. Think of the spate of films about "street people" in the late 1980s and early 1990s that center white characters in narratives of homelessness, sometimes casting white men as misrecognized shamanists, and occasionally coupling white actors with Black actors who serve largely to authenticate white experience. Films such as Trading Places (Landis, 1983), Down and Out in Beverly Hills (Mazursky, 1986), Ironweed (Babenco, 1987) The Fisher King (Gilliam, 1991), Life Stinks (Brooks, 1991), Curly Sue (Hughes, 1991), The Saint of Fort Washington (Hunter, 1993) feature, respectively, Dan Ackroyd paired with Eddie Murphy; Nick Nolte; Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep; Robin Williams; Mel Brooks; Jim Belushi; and Matt Dillon paired with Danny Glover. A decade past this cycle, Will Smith's performance in The Pursuit of Happiness (Muccino, 2006) is the exception that proves the rule, with the Black homeless man garnering sympathy largely because he is exceptional – a perfect father successfully competing with young white homed men for a job as a stockbroker.
On top of these racial elisions, as Elaine Abelson reminds us, "poverty is gendered in specific ways at different times".3Elaine S. Abelson, "'Women Who Have No Men to Work for Them:' Gender and Homelessness in the Great Depression," Feminist Studies 29, no. 1 (Spring 2003): 106. While this film cycle builds sympathy for the homeless by centering white men, more recent films and TV shows such as Wendy and Lucy (Reichardt, 2008), Rosie (Breathnach, 2018), Nomadland (Zhao, 2020), Herself (Lloyd, 2020), and Maid (2021–) do so by focusing on white women, and especially young white mothers. This focus on women serves as a corrective to decades in which female homelessness was largely invisible, but it ignores Black and brown homelessness to suggest that only white homelessness "matters."
Racial privilege also demarcates the horizon of possibility in relation to mobilities. In my analysis of hitchhiking films, I found two major cycles of films, one midcentury film noir cycle about white male hitchhikers and a late 1960s and early 1970s one about young white female runaways. These filmic representations in some ways register the fact that brown and Black hitchhikers were far less common than white ones. Mia Bay has detailed how automobility or "traveling while Black" has been contoured by racism from the Reconstruction Era forward, let alone in today's dangerous context of police anti-Black violence, and this makes it harder for Black hitchhikers to get rides.4Mia Bay, Traveling Black: A Story of Race and Resistance (The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2021). As Black drivers were constrained in myriad ways, Black and other minority hitchhikers could not rely upon finding rides from non-white drivers. White drivers were still the majority of car owners and dominated the roads. Black hitchhikers were much less likely to secure a ride from a white driver, and, when they did, were still subject to the racial hierarchy of the South – possibly offered rides in the back of a truck, but not in car of white driver. Black riders were also vulnerable on the road to attacks by the Ku Klux Klan, and harassment by police. Further, the media portrayed Black hitchhikers less sympathetically than whites and paid heightened attention to criminality among non-white hitchhikers, promulgating a "concerted effort to keep drivers, assumed to be white, from offering lifts to racial minorities."5Jack Reid, Roadside Americans: The Rise and Fall of Hitchhiking in a Changing Nation (University of North Carolina Press, 2020), 27, 40-41.
Detour (Edgar G. Ulmer, 1945)
More than reflecting an historical imbalance in the relative proportion of white to Black hitchhikers, however, filmic representations reinforce the association between whiteness and mobility. In noir films such as Detour (Ulmer, 1945) or The Hitch-Hiker (Lupino, 1953), male hitchhikers are placed in opposition to postwar ideals of hegemonic masculinity associated with marriage, domesticity, suburban life, breadwinning, and middle-class white-collar professional work. Hitchhikers exemplify subordinate masculinities who are repressed in the cultural imaginary such as the working class and transients, and/or they are linked to psychopathology and crime that not only runs counter to, but also threatens hegemonic masculinity. As Eric Lott has argued, film noir can be seen as, in part, a reaction formation to racial unrest, "a sort of whiteface dream-work of social anxieties with explicitly racial sources, condensed on film into the criminal undertakings of abjected whites."6Eric Lott, "The Whiteness of Film Noir," American Literary History 9, no. 3 (1997): 551. The white hitchhikers conjure "dark" fears about subordinate masculinities, but redirect fears about race onto white men perceived as, at best, drifters, and at worst, sociopaths. Registering even their relative privilege, however, the white male hitchhikers are able to secure rides, even as the FBI launched a major campaign against hitchhiking. This campaign consisted of numerous articles by J. Edgar Hoover and an illustrated advertisement, "Death in Disguise," that featured a clean-cut young white man standing by the side of the road as a car with a family slowed to pick him up, a skeleton's head super-imposed over the image. "Don't pick up trouble," the ad warned. Suggesting that picking up hitchhikers was a "gamble" and "risk," the ad played on uncertainty about appearances: "Is he a happy vacationer or an escaping criminal – a pleasant companion or a sex maniac – a friendly traveler or a vicious murderer?" In this campaign, it is the "disguise" of whiteness that renders the hitchhiker illegible, his racial privilege obscuring his criminal intentions.
Diary of a Teenage Hitchhiker (Ted Post, 1979)
In the 1970s, a separate robust film cycle focuses on white female hitchhikers. It includes made-for-TV movies such as Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring (Sargent, 1971) and, mainstream Hollywood films like Breezy (Eastwood, 1973) and Ginger in the Morning (Wiles, 1974), and exploitation pics such as The Hitchhikers (Sebastians, 1972) and Teenage Hitchhikers (Sedley, 1974). Like the film noir cycle, these films privilege whiteness, but they differ from the noirs in their attention to specifically young women, especially teen runaways, dovetailing with a moral panic about teen runaways and hitchhiking girls. Most contemporary analyses — whether pro or con female hitchhiking — view young women's hitchhiking as a feminist political act seeking freedom from traditional sex and gender roles. At the same time, however, the discourse on female runaways from 1967 forward strongly views them as subject to sexual exploitation, trafficking, and prostitution. Male drivers assumed that female hitchhikers were open to sexual advances due to "sexism, long-held assumptions about lone women on the road, and misguided interpretations of hippie free love."7Reid, 146 The famous slogan "Gas, Ass, or Grass: Nobody Rides for Free" marks a common currency for hitchhiking hippies; and, while both gay cruising and gay sexual abuse exist on the road, the exchange of "ass," or sexual favors for rides, stereotypically targets women hitchers. These films sympathetically portray the female runaway's subjectivity and link her reasons for being on the road to not only the generational divide but, often, sexual abuse and/or sexual oppression at home; yet the films also underscore both the risks of sexual assault and perceptions of the hitchhiker as sexually available, recognizing sexual harassment and rape to be the unconditional currency of the road. In part conjuring countercultural ideals of freedom and adventure, these films nonetheless show that the freedom of the female hitchhiker is constrained and contradictory.
Of course, these examples all emanate from Hollywood and are not representative of all figurations of homelessness and mobility. We could consider tales of migrancy, refugees, child soldiers and many other forms of displacement. However, these brief examples serve to indicate that while poverty, homelessness and mobilities are, of course, experienced by broad swaths of people, at the level of representation we tend to focus on only certain populations at different times. If we consider how filmic representations shape our perceptions of homelessness and mobility, we need to consider not only how cinema negotiates and transfigures our desires, fears, and anxieties around homelessness and mobility, but also what gets elided, erased, and distorted.

#WorldEmojiDay: Around five billion emojis are sent daily on Facebook Messenger
Technology / 17 July 2019, 3:00pm / Dhivana Rajgopaul
Wednesday, 17 July marks World Emoji Day and it is estimated that 5 billion emojis are sent daily on Facebook Messenger. Photo: Supplied
INDURBAN - Wednesday, 17 July marks World Emoji Day and it is estimated that 5 billion emojis are sent daily on Facebook Messenger by the 4 billion internet users online.
The word emoji literally means "picture" (e) + "character" (moji) in Japanese, and has become the universal language of short messaging. In fact, "Emoji is now the fastest growing language in the UK and evolving faster than ancient forms of communication, such as hieroglyphics," said Professor Vyv Evans of Bangor University who studied the emoji's "speed of evolution."
According to Emojipedia, in total there are 3,019 emojis in the Unicode Standard as of March 2019, and these clever illustrations and icons have even had their own 2017 Hollywood movie.
Dean McCoubrey, Founder of MySociaLife, South Africa's Premier 10-module Digital Life Skills Program in Schools, said, "Emojis are one area in which the generational gap around technology has been bridged. It's simple enough for grandparents, parents, tweens, teens and younger to use, and no one feels alienated. But there are still pros and cons to consider. In our training of students, teachers and parents, we see how they have become helpful and supportive ways to express where we are in our feelings, and support the limitations of words by adding an emotion to them. However, sometimes their universal presence means the recipient could miss signals from the other person. We have become more de-sensitised to calls for help in an increasingly online world. Smart device communication has taken over most of our lives, but sometimes human contact is imperative. We see this in schools - especially around bullying, flaming, trolling and shaming. An emoji isn't going to do the job".
"Emojis are a bit of fun. We can debate them as much as we like but they're comfortable to many. With Samsung's new AR Emoji and Apple's Animoji, and a new generation of headsets and VR glasses set to explode over the next 12 months, I suspect that we will soon be using AR emojis next, and way more than we currently think. After all, we didn't think the world would change as quick as it has. We teach kids this simple foundation: With technology we need to get safe and smart first before we explore and excel."

Tatiana Volosozhar: "For Tarasova and Morozov working with Tutberidze is an increase of chances of qualifying for the Olympics"
Interview with Tatiana Volosozhar. Tatiana explained how cooperation with Eteri Tutberidze will help her husband Maxim Trankov to develop as a coach and named the positive aspects and possible difficulties for Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov when working with Tutberidze.
source: gazeta.ru dd. 1st July 2021 by Elvira Ondar
Публикация от Татьяна Волосожар (@fire_bird)
What was your reaction when you found out that Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov will cooperate with Eteri Tutberidze?
Tatiana Volosozhar: For me it was not a surprise. Naturally, Max and I are discussing figure skating and some work issues at home, although I have nothing to do with the guys now.
Of course, I am glad that this cooperation has developed, because Eteri Georgievna has such a team, always productive work and results. I believe that strengthening the team with pair skaters is the right decision, especially since now there is also a team event at the Olympics.
In addition to Maxim, other assistants were added to the Tutberidze's team. For example, Pavel Slyusarenko from Perm, who joined the team. I hope that a good result will come out as a result of such cooperation.
In general, I am very happy for the guys. Moreover, now they have their own stable base, a skating rink, where they can feel at home. And this is very important for an athlete, especially during preparation for the Olympic Games. Because training on different skating rinks leaves its mark: fatigue, inconvenience, constant travel. Therefore, I am very glad that they have such a reliable base.
It remains only to work well and fruitfully and show the same results that Eteri Georgievna shows with her single skaters.
How risky is it to enter the Olympic season with coaches who have previously specialized only in single skating?
Tatiana Volosozhar: Eteri Georgievna, as the head coach, organizes the whole process – ice, team, watches the athletes, of course, takes part in the training process. And for help with pair elements, there are Maxim and Pavel. Pavel, by the way, is a famous coach of junior pairs, who shows good technical results. Perm is always a leader in junior pair skating, and at the senior level too.
For Tarasova and Morozov working with Tutberidze is an increase of chances of entering the top three at Nationals and qualifying for the Olympics.
The most important competition of the season at the moment is the Russian Nationals, which will take place in December. And now the main task is to qualify for the Olympic Games there.
Could there be any difficulties in this cooperation at all?
Tatiana Volosozhar: In fact, I see more advantages in working with Eteri Georgievna for the guys. This is a high-quality, fruitful, many hours long daily work.
As I said, they will be at their training base, they know that they always have a skating rink where they train and can manage their time: rest or something else. They do not need to dangle around the city from one training session to another.
Probably, some difficulties may arise due to the fact that Tarasova and Morozov are no longer juniors, not young athletes. And Eteri Georgievna has multiple, hours-long and exhausting workouts.
But, since the guys are aimed only for victory, they got a great chance in life, so now they just need to pick themself up and work at maximum. Then they will certainly have a result.
Do you think working with Khrustalny will be a step forward for your spouse Maxim in terms of coaching development?
Tatiana Volosozhar: Of course, to be honest, Maxim has a lot of experience working with great coaches. He worked with many coaches who raised Olympic champions and gave him a lot. And of course working with Eteri Georgievna will be a huge advantage for him. Therefore, I am very glad that he got into this team.
Maxim said in an interview that in a year it will be possible to try to send your daughter Angelica to the Tutberidze's group. What do you think about it? Then they could see each other at the rink every day.
Tatiana Volosozhar: In fact, we could try it at least for the sake of Angelica being next to Maxim. At the moment, the guys are in Novogorsk at the training base, and we do not have such an opportunity.
In general, if we consider Angelica in figure skating, then, of course, we already need to choose a group where she will skate with other children, where she will grow professionally, in terms of skating. Therefore, it would be nice to go to the Tutberidze's group, probably, but I understand that it is difficult to do it right away.
If Angelica decides to be a skater and is ready to work that much, then we can try. Although it has already been seen that she is a hardworking girl.

What is he WACC and why is it so important to estimate a firms cost of capital?
Considering the application of the discounted free cash flow model in order to find out whether Nike's stock is undervalued, the calculation of the WACC is in general a necessity since it is used to discount the free cash flows. As NIKE is funded by both equity and debt and no information is given about a potential future change in the debt-to-value-ratio we can therefore use the WACC formula, which Joanna correctly applied. Nevertheless there are several misgivings to be expressed.

The Great Britain women's basketball team emerged from defeat in their Olympic debut against Australia on Saturday night confident they can compete for a place in the knock-out stages of the competition.
Star guard Jo Leedham believes their performance in a 74-58 defeat to the number two team in the world can give them belief as Britain got the toughest task of the group stages out of the way early on.
"They're ranked number two for a reason," said Leedham, who had 11 points, six rebounds and four steals in the game. "They're an amazing team with huge size, but we dealt well with it. We knew it would be a battle but it gives us confidence now because they're a great team."
It was an emotional night for the British players, the culmination of a six-year quest to make it to these Games, and there were signs of a few nerves among the players in the early stages.
Some of Britain's offensive play looked rushed and that showed up in poor shooting figures, with Britain making only 20 of 68 from the floor in the game.
"Sometimes when you play such a good team and you do get open, you're kind of shocked," said Leedham. "We just need to settle a bit more as a team."
Australia enjoyed an 18-0 spurt that spanned the first and second quarters and had built a 39-26 lead by half-time, but Britain matched them after the break, with Australia able to add only three points to their margin of victory as Britain began to find their rhythm.
"In the first half they were pushing us out of our stuff," said guard Natalie Stafford, who led Britain with 12 points. "Then in the second half when we were getting to them, we were maybe shooting a bit too quickly.
"But this was a good game to play first and to get the nerves out of the way."
Centre Azania Stewart added: "I think it was a great start for us playing against a team like Australia. Obviously it was always going to be tough, but we were getting our feet wet, feeling the atmosphere and getting rid of nerves, so it was a good start for us."

'The Ballad of the Skeletons': Allen Ginsberg's 1996 Collaboration with Philip Glass and Paul McCartney
in Film, Music, Poetry | April 17th, 2012 3 Comments
Allen Ginsberg was an unlikely MTV star. In late 1996 the Beat poet was 70 years old and in declining health. He had less than a year to live. But Ginsberg managed to stay culturally and politically relevant, right up to the end. His last major project was a collaboration with Paul McCartney and Philip Glass, among others, on a musical adaptation of his poem, "The Ballad of the Skeletons."
The poem was first published in 1995. The American political climate from which it arose bears a striking resemblance to the one we're living in today. "I started it," Ginsberg told Harvey Kubernik of The Los Angeles Times in 1996, "because [of] all that inflated bull about the family values, the 'contract with America,' Newt Gingrich and all the loudmouth stuff on talk radio, and Rush Limbaugh and all those other guys. It seemed obnoxious and stupid and kind of sub-contradictory, so I figured I'd write a poem to knock it out of the ring."
The skeletal imagery was inspired by the Mexican holiday, the Day of the Dead, and takes a playful poke at the vanity of human desires. "It's an old trick," Ginsberg told Steve Silberman in a 1996 interview for HotWired, "to dress up archetypal characters as skeletons: the bishop, the Pope, the President, the police chief. There's a Mexican painter--Posada--who does exactly that."
In October of 1995, Ginsberg visited Paul McCartney and his family at their home in England. He recited "The Ballad of the Skeletons while one of McCartney's daughters filmed it. As Ginsberg recalled to Silberman, he mentioned that he had to give a reading with Anne Waldman and other poets at the Royal Albert Hall, and was looking for a guitarist to accompany him. "Why don't you try me," McCartney said. "I love the poem." Ginsberg continued the story:
He showed up at 5 p.m. for the sound check, and he bought a box for his family. Got all his kids together, four of them, and his wife, and he sat through the whole evening of poetry, and we didn't say who my accompanist was going to be. We introduced him at the end of the evening, and then the roar went up on the floor of the Albert Hall, and we knocked out the song. He said if I ever got around to recording it, let him know. So he volunteered, and we made a basic track, and sent it to him, on 24 tracks, and he added maracas and drums, which it needed. It gave it a skeleton, gave it a shape. And also organ, he was trying to get that effect of Al Kooper on the early Dylan. And guitar, so he put a lot of work in on that. And then we got it back just in time for Philip Glass to fill in his arpeggios on piano.
The recording was produced by Lenny Kaye, guitarist for the Patti Smith Group, who had put together a group of musicians for a performance of the song at a Tibet House benefit in April of 1996. One member of the audience that night was Danny Goldberg, president of Mercury Records and a fan of Ginsberg. He invited the poet to record the song, and it all came together quickly. In a 1997 article in Tikkun, Goldberg remembered Ginsberg's giddiness over the project: "He loved that Paul McCartney had overdubbed drums on 'Skeletons.' He said, 'It's the closest I'm going to ever come to being in the Beatles,' and giggled like a teenager."
The recording features Ginsberg on vocals, Glass on keyboards, McCartney on guitar, drums, Hammond organ and maracas, Kaye on bass, Marc Ribot on guitar and David Mansfield on Guitar. Mercury released the song as a CD single in two versions, including one with the language sanitized for radio and television. The "B side" was a recording of Ginsberg's "New Stanzas for Amazing Grace" that did not include McCartney or Glass. The next step was to create a video. As Goldberg recalled, Ginsberg knew an opportunity when he saw one:
When Tom Freston, the CEO of MTV, bought five of Allen's photos, Ginsberg promptly called me, not too subtly implying that if Mercury would fund production of a video, we might be able to get on MTV. Allen had an unerring instinct of how to mobilize his mystique for those who were interested. He regaled Freston with stories of the beatniks one night at our house, which made it almost impossible for MTV to reject his video despite the fact that he was decades older than typical MTV artists and audience members. A political satire of both generations, "Skeletons" received highly pubicized and much-coveted "buzz bin" rotation on MTV in the weeks before the last election--to the consternation of other record companies who were submitting artists with more conventional credentials. This made Allen the only seventy-year-old besides Tony Bennett to ever be played on MTV.
The video was directed by Gus Van Sant, who had ties to surviving members of the Beat generation. Van Sant had directed William S. Burroughs in the film Drugstore Cowboy, and had made short films--Thanksgiving Prayer and The Discipline of DE-- based on writing by Burroughs. Ginsberg was happy with Van Sant's work, despite a tight filming budget. "It's a great collage," Ginsberg told Silberman. "He went back to old Pathé, Satan skeletons, and mixed them up with Rush Limbaugh, and Dole, and the local politicians, Newt Gingrich, and the President. And mixed those up with the atom bomb, when I talk about the electric chair-- 'Hey, what's cookin?'--you got Satan setting off an atom bomb, and I'm trembling with a USA hat on, the Uncle Sam hat on. So it's quite a production, it's fun."

Data scientists are responsible for using computing systems to collect, analyse and interpret large amounts of information to identify ways to help a business improve operations and gain a competitive edge over rivals. They require a knowledge of mathematics, computer science and the ability to spot trends. The Belong study, which looked at the top 40 startups and at those with three to five years of experience, said the annual salary of data scientists rose to Rs 25-29 lakh last year.
"With the boom in AI (artificial intelligence), a lot of companies are building out huge data analysis teams," said Rishabh Kaul, co-founder at Belong.
Front-end developers are the bridge between the user experience (UX)/user interface (UI) designer and the backend programmer, bringing to life the designer's final design and ensuring it works with back-end systems through appropriate coding. They are responsible for everything a visitor to a site sees, clicks, or uses to input or retrieve information, and need to be both creative and tech-savvy.
Front-end developers now earn Rs 18 lakh to Rs 22 lakh per annum. In 2014, they were earning Rs 10-13 lakh. Kaul said a major reason for this is the rise of cloud infrastructure by companies like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. This is prompting every company to strengthen the front-ends of their web and mobile apps. In 2013 and 2014, cloud infrastructure was still developing. "Now the job description of a front-end developer has also changed dramatically. They take care of everything from managing the website to ensuring the company is protected against hacks," Kaul said.
Mobile developers and UX designers are also among those who received 15-20% increases in compensation last year. A UX designer is the highest paid role in technology startups, with such employees taking home Rs 28 lakh to Rs 32 lakh per annum. Startups are trying to contain these UX designer costs by employing freelancers, who work for multiple companies.
Product managers - who are responsible for the strategy, road map, and feature definition of a product - saw a 20% increase in compensation to about Rs 24 lakh in 2017. Python developers have seen a 20% compounded annual growth rate in compensation since 2014, and last year earned around Rs 20 lakh per annum.
Roles in cyber security, including security architect and chief information security officers, also received handsome increases.
Kaul said many of these highly compensated employees are self-trained. The average tenure of a data scientist in a company is just two years. "Every time they move to a new job, they get a hike," Kaul said, explaining why compensations are rising so rapidly.

Бро́кколи, или Спа́ржевая капу́ста (Brassica oleracea var. italica, или Brassica oleracea Broccoli Group), — однолетнее овощное растение семейства Капустные, разновидность капусты огородной. Ближайший родственник и генетический предшественник цветной капусты.

История
Согласно новейшим данным, эта разновидность капусты была получена путём гибридизации на северо-востоке Средиземноморья в VI—V веках до н. э. На протяжении столетий спаржевая капуста была мало известна за пределами Италии.

Итальянское слово broccoli — множественное число слова broccolo, что означает цветущий стебель капусты (уменьшительное от brocco, «отросток», «сухая веточка»). Первоисточником является латинское слово bracchium («ветка»).

Наиболее раннее упоминание о брокколи найдено во французском трактате Historia Generalis Plantarum (1587). В Англию брокколи попала в начале XVIII века — тогда она называлась здесь «итальянская спаржа». В США брокколи пробовал выращивать ещё Томас Джефферсон, но значительного распространения она тогда не получила. Товарное производство брокколи в США возникло в середине 1920-х годов, когда в Сан-Хосе её начали выращивать братья д'Арриго, выписав семена из Италии, и в 1926 году партия брокколи впервые была отправлена на восточное побережье — в Бостон. С тех пор Калифорния стала крупнейшим производителем брокколи в США, давая около 90 % урожая.

В 2011 году Китай и Индия собирали 43 % и 32 % мирового урожая этого овоща, соответственно. Следом шли Испания, Франция, Италия, Турция, Израиль.

Биологическое описание
Стебель в первый же год достигает высоты 60—90 см и на вершине образует множество суккулентных ветвей (цветоносов), оканчивающихся плотными группами мелких зелёных бутонов. Вместе они собраны в небольшую рыхлую головку, которую срезают для использования, не дожидаясь, пока бутоны разовьются в жёлтые цветки.

Лучше всего брокколи растёт в прохладном сыром климате, при температуре от 18 до 23°.. Урожай собирают, когда головка достигнет диаметра 10—17 см. Если её срезать, из боковых почек часто развиваются новые, поэтому брокколи иногда «плодоносит» в течение нескольких месяцев подряд, причём в условиях мягкого климата даже зимой.

Когда бутоны приобретают ярко-жёлтый цвет, это говорит о том, что капуста перезрела и не пригодна для употребления в пищу.

Применение

Полезные свойства

Хотя брокколи иногда готовят на пару, она более питательна, если её употреблять в сыром виде. Этот овощ богат микроэлементами и витаминами, особенно С и К. По содержанию витамина А превосходит все капустные растения.

Калорийность брокколи составляет ~34 ккал/100 грамм.

После нескольких дней хранения содержание витамина C падает вдвое. Чтобы избежать этого, капусту надо хранить в холодильнике. Витаминный потенциал гораздо дольше сохраняет замороженная брокколи (при условии, что в процессе хранения и транспортировки она не подвергалась разморозке).

Одна головка брокколи (608 г) содержит в среднем 542 мг витамина C (904 % дневной нормы), 618 мг витамина К (772 %), 382 мг фолиевой кислоты (96 %), 286 мг высокоусваиваемого кальция (29 %), 4,4 мг железа (25 %), 128 мг магния (32 %), 491 мг фосфора (40 %), 1921 мг калия (55 %).

Среди прочих антиоксидантов брокколи содержит вещества, способные эффективно противостоять росту раковых клеток и распространению вируса герпеса, — дииндолилметан, индол-3-карбинол и глюкорафанин (предшественник сульфорафана). Из всех культурных растений наиболее богаты сульфорафаном проростки семян брокколи, которые содержат в 50 раз больше этого вещества, чем зрелые овощи.

Гастрономия
У этих разновидностей капусты съедобны не листья, а нераскрывшиеся соцветия. Чтобы сохранить вкусовые качества и полезные свойства брокколи, нельзя её переваривать. Поэтому брокколи лучше всего быстро отварить на пару или бланшировать. Отварную или паровую капусту можно использовать для салатов или начинок. Свежая и бланшированная капуста хороша в салатах и запеканках. Очень нежными и низкокалорийными получаются супы из брокколи.

Разновидности
Брокколи бывает трёх видов:
 классическая, или калабрийская;
 красная, напоминающая по виду цветную капусту;
 стебельная, с мелкими разрозненными соцветиями (англ. sprouting broccoli).

В XXI веке был выведен сорт «Бенефорте», который содержит в три раза больше глюкорафанина, чем обычная брокколи.

Другие растения, содержащие в своём названии слово «брокколи»:
 брокколи рааб (broccoli raab),  (rapini) — разновидность листовой репы, или сурепицы;
 китайская брокколи (кайлань, гайлан) — листовая капуста из группы alboglabra, напоминающая брокколи только вкусом;
 брокколини — гибрид предыдущей с брокколи, полученный в 1993 году в Японии.

1- Advertising messages are focusing on "sales". This indicates a desperate attempt at getting more clients. We have heard that Zara Home called its clientele one by one to announce their sales on the 26th, and Timberland is already on a 15% off sale.
Take a look around your SMS or e-mail inbox, what are the most prominent advertising messages?
or, the sales were too low, and the retailer failed to reach his target, so he is resorting to desperate measures to get a piece of the pie.
When more ads focus on a "sales" message, wouldn't that mean that the pie is actually getting smaller?
2- Christmas in Lebanon means an incoming boost to the economy, as more expatriates come over to visit and spend valuable amounts of money. This phenomenon generally tends to cause crazy traffic congestion around this time of year.
Did anyone else feel that traffic was way less than the previous years?
3- More and more families are limiting their Christmas purchasing to the kids. Of course, the children were always a priority on this particular holiday, yet, never to the extent of being the sole beneficiaries.
Take a look around the stores... Where's the real crowd?
That said, Lebanese people have always been whining about their economy, will a change to the worse ever be news?
There are times when we thirst for knowledge, and others when we rather retract ourselves and ponder upon our experiences to come up with our own conclusions.
While both means compel us to develop some sort of wisdom, the second can be much more rewarding. How so?
After-all, life is full of "stages" we go through in order to shape up our personalities, learn new tricks or simply wake up from our procrastinations, right?
...and you might think I am being too reflective about something as intuitive as knowledge. Yes, I said it, and I will say it again, "intuitive", just in case you have missed it.
While knowledge, itself, can only be acquired, our capacity and tendency to learn are, them, innate.
By now I guess you are wondering where I am going with this since, this was a marketing blog. Well, rest assured, it still is.
How do you establish leadership on the market? When you become a leader.
How do you become a leader? By gaining followers.
Why would people follow you?
A very famous, viable, yet old fashioned manner to create followers is knowledge sharing. It simply shows people that you have the know-how and that you are a reliable source.
Knowledge marketing is especially popular in technical fields, such as engineering firms, consulting firms, electrical/ technical equipment companies... and most recently - don't laugh - online marketing.
If you're in the marketing field then you probably have been invited to, at least, one conference about digital marketing or social media, right?
Now since everyone in your field is doing it, if you haven't shared anything different from your counterparts you're not quite positioning yourself as a leader, now, are you? More like a copy cat, actually.
My advice is just take a step back from hammering your shareholders with theories we all know, and try to come up with another type of knowledge, one unique to you, compiled from your own experiences.
Put your heart into it and see how people will be more eager to hear what you have to say.
Maybe then you will reap the benefits of knowledge-based marketing and finally achieve the leadership positioning you were longing for.
