Looking for a cultural break in this new season? From the Marais to Montreuil through Belleville, we'll be your guide for this month's selection of art exhibits.

Les Ateliers d'Artistes de Belleville – Natures partagées
Until October 17th
Exhibition view – Natures partagées © Ateliers d'artistes de Belleville
"The need for nature remains in cities, and this feeling has been reinforced since the first lockdown. The vision of our immediate environment, then the only one accessible, has suddenly been transformed. The parks and gardens we longed for in March and April 2020 have now become the subjects of a new reflection. These "embassies of nature in the cities" are places of life and sharing, non-market spaces, open to gatherings as well as to isolation, rest, contemplation, effort, games… Throughout this exhibit, the artists of Belleville share their singular visions on these remarkable islands of biodiversity. This project highlights 17 artworks representing the diversity of visual arts today, with Jean-Christophe Adenis, Claire Archenault, Annie Barel, Geneviève Baudoin, Angela Bonavita, Caroline Bouyer, Pierre-Olivier Clerc, Delphine Epron, Frédéric Laviéville, Laetitia Lesaffre, Kristin Meller, Lumi Mizutani, Catherine Olivier, Gert Sachs, Saint-Oma, Mireille Saltron, and Denis Viougeas."

Marie Guillard – Temps perdus
Artwork featured at Slow Galerie in the exhibit Temps perdus © Marie Guillard
"Les Temps perdus by Marie Guillard tells of these instants, these short moments when the brain stalls and pauses for a few seconds, seconds that seem to stretch to infinity, a free time, devoid of any action, a time of rest or a time out, a flash escape towards an abysmal void. We are here and at the same time elsewhere. The spirit flies away, escapes. There is no holding back. We savor these seconds, these minutes of absence, miraculous extractions of our hyper connected states of consciousness. Marie draws these nothings, these absences, these voids in which we slip with delight, and which compensate the overflow of our lives."
Monday to Saturday: 11am-7pm – Free admission

Li Hongbo – All is Illusion
Until October 9th
No Spare Time – Textbook Series, 2021 © Li Hongbo – Danysz Gallery
"After the success of his last solo exhibition presented by Danysz in Shanghai, Li Hongbo takes over the Parisian space of the gallery to turn it into a strange place where everything appears different than what it really is. Classical marble sculptures that can bend and stretch like accordions. Natural elements with eccentric shapes. Steel figurines carved out of butcher knives… This exhibition includes works made of paper and others made of steel, two materials that are at the core of the artist's vocabulary. Part of the show centers on the revisiting of ancient statuary, for which the artist is best known. Other parts take us to some hallucinatory landscape where stones and timber wood appear completely distorted. For his first solo show in Paris, Li Hongbo settles in with his full palette, recreating for us the wealth and complexity of his world as an artist, with a number of works produced especially for this exhibition. An adventurous experience, full of surprises, where our entrenched conceptions of reality and illusion may well begin to lose their footing."

Mari Katayama – Home Again
Shell, 2016 © Mari Katayama
With an unconventional outlook at disability, within damaged landscapes, the multifaceted artist Mari Katayama questions the viewer's relationship to the body. In this exhibition, the artist presents a series of self-portraits made since 2009, featuring her disability in burlesque, incongruous forms. She also unveils a new series, "In the water", a collection of pieces inspired by the birth of her daughter, marking a turning point in her artistic vision. — Lucie Goguillot

Constance Labbé & Viviana Morizet – Réanimé
Until January 14th
Outdoors exhibit Réanimé outside Pavillon Carré de Baudouin
At the time of the first lockdown in the spring of 2020, the nursing staff of the intensive care unit of the Tenon hospital agreed to welcome photographers Constance Labbé and Viviana Morizet for two weeks. The touching sound exhibition born from this experience, Réanimé (Reanimated), can be discovered until January 14th on the walls of the Pavillon Carré de Baudouin. Through a series of 17 photographs, the two artists take us into the trying daily life of the teams confronted with the first peak of the crisis, illustrating the efforts and solidarity necessary to face unprecedented days and nights. Their photographs are accompanied by a soundtrack orchestrated by the cellist Mathyas Vj, "who composed an original music, integrating sounds, machine noises, and about thirty testimonies of caregivers" recorded on site. — Our article (French)

Vision marbrée – Artwork featured in the exhibit Omniscient © Limo – 389 La Boutique
"Having always had an attraction for drawing, Limo started to work on illustrations in 2006 in parallel to his studies in fine arts. During this period he met Jok and Olson, two graffiti artists who founded the OnOff Crew, which he joined in 2009. The discovery of graffiti and the state of mind of the OnOff gave a boost to his creations. Drawing his inspiration from the folklore and legends of our societies as well as pop culture, he delivers a reinterpretation of the everyday where dreams, color and emotions combine to tell a contemporary mythology. This exhibition features a series of paintings, as many stories which the visitor will be able to interpret, the time of a glance, the role of the omniscient narrator."

For eight years, graphic artist Raphaël Meyssan collected thousands of 19th century engravings to retrace the history of the 1871 Paris Commune. After an open-air exhibition on the walls of the Pavillon Carré de Baudouin, this new event around the work Les Damnés de la Commune takes us into his studio to discover his creative methods, and the real investigation he sometimes had to lead in the archives in order to "resurrect this forgotten history". Visitors will be able to learn more about the engravings that make up his works, and the artistic processes involved in adapting period documents into graphic novels. — Our article (French)

"This original exhibition, which brings together the visions of two masters of contemporary Japanese photography, features 400 artworks from the 1950s to the present day. The first retrospective in France devoted to the carreer of Shomei Tomatsu, it is also one of the largest exhibitions organized around the work of Daido Moriyama in several years. Imagined by the photographers themselves, during Tomatsu's lifetime, it is a vibrant testimony to the passion they both share for the Japanese capital and its residents. In the Studio, a space dedicated to young creation, the film by choreographer and visual artist Smaïl Kanouté introduces visitors to the extraordinary story of Yasuke Kurosan, Japan's black samurai."

"I will present a retrospective of several years of my photographic work highlighting the male body through the male nude, and the softness and fragility of the vegetal world. For this moment shared with man or nature to be a success, you have to take your time, be there at the right time. Devote the time it takes to capture the subject … Nature as well as man must be "tamed" to achieve a beautiful photo: it is necessary to find the right frame, the right distance, turn around, change points of view to finally sublimate all its essence." – Daniel Nassoy

Georgia O'Keeffe – Retrospective
Until December 6th
Georgia O'Keeffe – My Front Yard, Summer, 1941 – Oil on canvas, 50,9 × 76,5 cm – Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe. Gift of The Georgia O'Keeffe Foundation (2006.5.173) - Courtesy Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe © Georgia O'Keeffe Museum / Adagp, Paris, 2021
"The Centre Pompidou presents the first retrospective in France of Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 – 1986), one of the greatest figures in 20th century North American art. Boasting some hundred paintings, drawings and photographs, the exhibition proposes a complete review of her artistic career. Georgia O'Keefe died at the age of 98 and lived through the essential aesthetic adventures of the last century. In the 1920s she belonged to the limited circle of the inventors of American modernism, then participated in the 1930s in the quest for identity that marked the United States, before becoming a pioneer of « hard edge » abstract painting in the 1960s. The deliberately fluid and open layout of the exhibition unfolds Georgia O'Keeffe's artistic trajectory chronologically, from the early « cosmic » fevers inspired by the immensity of the Texas plains in 1910, to the metropolises and rural landscapes of New York state in the 1920s-1930s, to New Mexico, where she settled for good after the Second World War."

"Nourished by a multitude of influences, from the American underground to family craftsmanship, Shane draws his inspiration from the styles he encounters, the techniques he experiments with, and the people he meets. He has tried many mediums without any prior training: airbrushing, blurring, abstract lettering, mixed with hyper-realistic drawing of various subjects. He combines all this in complex compositions teeming with details to observe, offering several degrees of reading and understanding. This native of Normandy has put his mark on the walls of Paris, and has also embellished the architecture of Mexico and Hamburg with large-scale murals."

« Presented as part of the Africa2020 Season, the exhibition Un.e Air.e de famille invites us to think with Afro-diasporic art from the Musée d'art et d'histoire Paul Eluard in Saint-Denis. It reveals the anti-colonial commitment of surrealists and other artists from the museum's collections, whose works enter into a dialogue with the contemporary artistic practices of thirteen women artists from Africa and its diasporas: Laeïla Adjovi, Eliane Aisso, Malala Andrialavidrazana, Yto Barrada, the Chevalme sisters, Nadia Kaabi-Linke, Katia Kameli, Kapwani Kiwanga, Tuli Mekondjo, Otobong Nkanga, Owanto, Thania Petersen, and Euridice Zaituna Kala. Bringing together historical and contemporary works, the exhibition explores the themes of the relationship to the other, memory, cartographies, migrations, spiritualities, and post-colonial movements. »

"At the dawn of the twentieth century, photography was essentially the result of a staging that tended to show an idealized image of workers, defined solely by their task and their tools. However, by the quality of the workers' presence, the dignity of their posture, the intensity of their gaze, the photograph escapes the intention of the commissioner. Finally, beyond the details that inform us about the working-class condition, what holds our attention, fascinates us, are the faces, this place of the body where the personality is lodged, this most unique and irreplaceable part of the individual. Just like photography, the face is a sensitive surface on which lasting traces are imprinted. The worker wears on his face the marks of his work, but at the same time his face, by its singularity and its mystery, constantly escapes those who want to reduce it to an object." – Marion & Philippe Jacquier

Lewis Hamilton became only the third driver, after his late compatriot Jim Clark and Frenchman Alain Prost, to win the British Grand Prix five times and the first to take four successive victories at Silverstone.
Lewis Hamilton won his home British Grand Prix for the fourth year in a row on Sunday while a penultimate-lap puncture slashed Sebastian Vettel's championship lead to a single point.
The Briton's drive from pole to flag on an overcast afternoon was lonely, uneventful and dominant -- in complete contrast to his Ferrari rival's afternoon -- with Mercedes team mate Valtteri Bottas finishing 14 seconds behind to secure the one-two.
"The support has been incredible this weekend. I am so proud I could do this for you all," said Hamilton, who threw himself into the fans for some 'crowd surfing' after the podium celebrations.
"The team were faultless this weekend, Valtteri did an incredible job as well so it's the perfect weekend for us."
Far behind in his wake, as Hamilton cruised to a 57th career win and soaked up the applause from an army of flag-waving fans, came sudden drama.
Vettel, who had battled on worn tyres but looked like securing the final podium position until the blowout, finished seventh after an emergency pit stop with a shower of sparks from the wheel rim.
"There was no sign of that happening," said Vettel over the team radio. "There were vibrations but I had it for 20 laps and it didn't get massively worse. The tyres didn't look great but they never look great."
The German's Finnish team mate Kimi Raikkonen, who had been second before also being hit with a late puncture that sent Bottas and Vettel ahead of him, took third.
At the halfway stage of the 20-race season, Vettel has 177 points to Hamilton's 176 with Bottas on 154.
Hungary, a circuit where the Briton has won five times before, is next up.
Hamilton became only the third driver, after his late compatriot Jim Clark and Frenchman Alain Prost, to win the British Grand Prix five times and the first to take four successive victories at Silverstone.
Clark won four in a row in the 1960s but one was at Aintree and another at Brands Hatch.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen finished fourth, ending a run of retirements, with Australian team mate Daniel Ricciardo fifth after fighting through the field.
Germany's Nico Hulkenberg was sixth for Renault and Force India pairing Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez were eighth and ninth with Brazilian Felipe Massa securing the final point for Williams.
Jolyon Palmer's miserable run continued, with Britain's only other driver on the grid failing to make the start after his Renault broke down on the formation lap with a brake failure.
That forced an aborted start, with the field doing another formation lap before the lights went out and Hamilton made a clean getaway.
Vettel, brakes smoking, meanwhile lost a place to Verstappen.
The Toro Rossos of Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat collided on lap two, with the Spaniard shunted out and the safety car making an appearance for three laps.
Kvyat, who has been involved in a series of incidents of late, looked at fault and was given a drive-through penalty for rejoining the track in an unsafe fashion.
With Hamilton pulling away, Vettel and Verstappen provided some fireworks with the Dutch teenager keeping the door firmly closed as they went wheel to wheel.
"He wants to play bumper cars or something," exclaimed Verstappen over the radio.

Stevens Senior Prepares for Career in Financial Analytics
Sarah Gleason '17 will join Credit Suisse after an eventful university career
"I wanted to take advantage of every opportunity I could."
So says Sarah Gleason of her experience at Stevens Institute of Technology, which has been unusually eventful and will soon transition to a career in finance. Admitted as a Stevens Scholar, the business and technology major has taken part in one of the most important research competitions (the Solar Decathlon) for the university, studied abroad in Greece, and also participated in myriad community service activities (including Habitat for Humanity) — all while building an impressive portfolio of internships at some of the world's leading corporations.
The Ocean Township, New Jersey native will begin a two-year rotational program as a technical analyst at global financial services giant Credit Suisse in New York after graduation. It's an opportunity she says was made possible by a business curriculum grounded in technology and career-launching internships.
A 21st century business education
What sets the School of Business at Stevens apart from other business schools, explains Gleason, is the strong technology foundation that underlies each of its programs. That technical knowledge stands out during job interviews, she notes, adding that her non-traditional business courses, such as programming for mobile applications and systems analysis and design, helped give her an advantage when speaking to prospective employers.
"The investment banking workforce is changing, and a lot of that is due to technology," she says.
"Employers are looking to hire people who know how to leverage technology to improve business processes, and ultimately make smarter business decisions. And that's something that business technology majors, and students who go to Stevens in any of the business programs, get to showcase in their interviews."
Getting 'career-ready' by taking the long view
Supported by a career center she describes as "one of the best in the nation," Gleason has had internships since her sophomore year at Stevens. That makes sense: the university's impressive reputation for job placement and access to meaningful internship experiences was the primary reason Gleason chose to come to Stevens.
"I've had three amazing internships – first at Fox News in its accounting department, then during a summer internship at Credit Suisse in its technology department [leading to the eventual job offer], and now at HighTower Advisors, a wealth management firm, as part of its global investment solutions team."
Although her career journey will begin at Credit Suisse, Gleason continues to soak up as much work experience as she can while at Stevens in an effort to broaden her understanding of the financial services industry. Her current experience at Hightower, she says, is giving her a glimpse of what her career might look like ten years from now.
"It's really advancing my knowledge of financial services. There's jargon in that industry that you have to pick up, and I think that's my biggest takeaway from there – learning the lingo and the culture. I'm really enjoying my time there and it'll be bittersweet to leave in May."
It wasn't by coincidence that all Gleason's internships have been based in Manhattan. Stevens' proximity to New York City opened up a wealth of corporate internship opportunities both during her academic studies and during the intervening summers.
"The ability to hop on a bus, ferry or train right now, and be at work in about 30 minutes, is absolutely amazing," she says.
Gleason will call the city home after graduation – her start date at Credit Suisse is in July – and is already getting a taste of New York's ultra-competitive real estate market.
"It's always been my dream to move to Manhattan. I visited my first apartment yesterday. But you have to act fast because they go on and off the market so quickly."
Unique experiences on campus and abroad
For Gleason, some of her most defining experiences at Stevens stemmed from her role as a resident advisor (RA). As the eldest of six children, she embraced the role of mentoring new students as they transitioned from high school to college.
"Being an RA is a privilege, and something I do not take for granted."
There have been many other memorable experiences at Stevens. As a Stevens Scholar, Gleason had the opportunity to travel to Greece and take part in a three-credit international business course, meeting with industry leaders in that nation in the process.
Selection as a Stevens Scholar also afforded Gleason with a rare opportunity to participate in the design and construction of Stevens' 2015 Solar Decathlon house, which garnered 1st place at the prestigious U.S. Department of Energy competition in Irvine, California in fall 2015.
"I was the sponsorship manager, so I had to explain, at a very high level, what was going on in each facet of the house to potential partners and sponsors like Popular Science and ExxonMobil. The biggest takeaway for me from that project was the real-world experience of being able to present and sell a product."
And her Stevens career isn't quite finished yet. Those honed presentation skills will be put to the test when Gleason and four Stevens classmates present their senior design project – a financial literacy program for local high school students — at the annual Stevens Innovation Expo May 3. Gleason will give the elevator pitch for the project in hopes of securing a cash prize for the team.

Yes, I know I haven't been doing It's Finally Friday posts for like ages but I'm doing one now so don't complain!
Firstly we have Wish You Weren't a touching and slightly sad fantasy story about Marten, your typical tween guy and his brother. Marten does not like his little brother, he's annoying, irritating and, to put it straight, a right pain in the backside. We all think this about our brothers though, right? But, I'm not sure anyone would wish what he did. And Marten doesn't expect it to comes true. And then his brother vanishes one day... Maybe wishes can come true after all.
This was great, gripping, interesting, spooky, sad, heartwarming and every other thing I'd want from a book. If you're anyone aged 10+ then read it, it'll stick with you for life.
This is by the current Children's Laureate, I also expected it to be good. But never as a amazing as it actually was. Callum is a white resident, a blanker, the lower class, a nought. Sephy is a black, top of the society, daughter of the Prime Minister's deputy, wealthy, looked upon and a Cross. Noughts and Crosses don't meet, but then Callum and Sephy form a friendship that will stay with them forever no matter what. Or will it?
This was amazing and now my joint 5th favourite book ever. Very sad, even sadder than Wish You Weren't. A really pageturner and perfect for anyone 10+ (it is very mature in some places), my Mum needs to read it and I'll keep nagging her to until she does.
The other books are Ratburger and Boy in the Dress both by David Walliams. (You know what this means, humour, and lots of it.) Brilliant for 8 - 10 year olds and Surviving Middle School by David McGrail, a choose your own path book that'll last you for hours. Has some mature scenes so for 9 - 13 year old girls I'd say.
All these books I recommend especially Noughts & Crosses and Wish You Weren't. Have you read any good books recently, let me know!? Until then It's Finally Friday - what are you up to in the weekend?
I have put you under the blogs with brilliant book reviews section on my pre teen dork blog awards 2015.
Oh I love Naughts and Crosses. Great post!

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and increased susceptibility to recurrent bacterial infections. It is the most frequent symptomatic antibody deficiency with a wide variety of infectious and non-infectious complications. Numerous studies demonstrated that different immunological and genetic defects are involved in the pathogenesis of CVID. However, in most cases, the genetic background of the disease remains unidentified. This review aims to discuss different aspects of CVID including epidemiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, classifications and management of the disease.

The post Meet The World's First Airport Therapy Pig appeared first on When In Manila.
The five-year-old Juliana pig typically known as LiLou has taken the internet by storm. She was recently introduced as San Francisco International Airport's newest airport therapy animal — and consequently, the world's first airport therapy pig.
(These adorable cheetahs are so shy that they have 'emotional support dogs')
LiLou and her owner, Tatyana Danilova, are part of the airport's 'Wag Brigade'. This is a program that seeks to bring therapy animals to the airport in order to help ease travel anxieties and lift the moods of passengers. Aside from LiLou, it currently includes dogs of all breeds and sizes.
"People are very happy to get distracted from the travel, from their routines, whether they're flying on their journey for vacation or work," said Danilova. "Everybody is usually very happy and it makes them pause for a second and smile and be like, "Oh, it's great."'
With a sharp pilot's cap on and brightly painted toenails, it's impossible not to be cheered up by LiLou's presence. She even plays the (toy) piano using her hooves and snout!
"When we first launched the program, our main goal was to relieve stress for our passengers. However, what we have found is we have formed a connection with our passengers and it's been totally amazing," says guest services manager Jennifer Kazarian.

This week's World Ocean Summit in Abu Dhabi will address five major threats to the oceans: overfishing, coastal pollution, habitat destruction, warming, and acidification. The goal of the summit is to build conceptual bridges across governments and organizations in order to produce technical, financial, and governmental solutions to ocean harm.
Leaders in sustainability and ocean economies will develop partnerships and initiatives between advocacy organizations and governments to promote the healing of our oceans.
The event, which was organized by The Economist, will bring together policy-makers, technology innovators and ocean entrepreneurs to explore how they can work together to promote marine sustainability.
The Securities and Exchange Commission building, located in Washington, D.C.
Members of Congress are urging the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) to investigate the illegal trafficking of wildlife on Facebook. On May 14th, Representatives Raul Grijalva (AZ) and Jared Huffman (CA) filed a letter to the SEC saying that Facebook was breaking laws that require public companies to protect shareholders and prevent illegal activity. The letter demanded an investigation into the illegal wildlife trafficking on Facebook.
D.C.-based law firm Kohn, Kohn and Colapinto (KKC) sparked the Congressional inquiry after filing a complaint with the SEC alleging the social media giant facilitates illicit trade in wildlife products. KKC previously filed the anonymous complaint against Facebook in August 2017.
WASHINGTON, D.C. | MAY 8, 2018 — Today, Rep. Madeleine Bordallo (D-GU) and Rep. Don Young (R-AK) introduced the Wildlife Conservation and Anti-Trafficking Act of 2018. This groundbreaking legislation enhances the ability of informants worldwide to detect and report wildlife crimes.

The potential of ovarian tissue transplant to preserve fertility
Kutluk Oktay, Erkan Buyuk
Laboratory research on ovarian cryopreservation and transplantation began in the 1950s leading to clinical studies in the 2000s. The research that was performed during this half a century indicated that cryopreserved ovarian tissue has the potential to restore fertility in women who face premature ovarian failure due to chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery. Until today, ovarian function has been restored in at least four women. Even though no pregnancies have been reported to date from these clinical studies, animal studies indicate that this is a valid prospect for humans. Future clinical trials will determine in a larger number of patients the longevity of ovarian grafts, normalcy of hormone production and ovarian follicle development, possibility and safety of pregnancy and the safety of auto-transplantation in cancer patients. In addition, further basic research may be needed to develop better cryoprotectants and cryopreservation techniques. However, the major improvement in the efficiency of ovarian transplantation is anticipated to come from research exploring the revascularization process.

One of the region's most active real estate developers, Wood Partners, has broken ground on a new multifamily community near Boston.
One of Boston's fastest-growing suburbs recently upped the ante with the addition of a 94-unit luxury apartment community.
Federal Capital Partners sold the Newport News community for $46.7 million after a 7-year holding period. The new owner is planning on implementing several upgrades.


This week Disney On Ice has returned to the North East for their Dream Big show; Presented by none other than Mickey and Minnie Mouse, between acts they tell the story of how you should believe in yourself and follow your dreams, a beautiful underlying message for all of the children in the audience.
I was lucky enough to attend the opening night at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle and found myself surrounded by thousands of families, with children of all ages, mostly dressed as Disney Princesses themselves. Everyone was fully embracing their love for Disney and were all ready for a really good time!
The show started at 6:30pm, which gave everyone just enough time to get there after work and almost meant it wasn't to much of a late finish for the little ones. The arena was packed and the atmosphere was incredible, with everyone singing along to all of their favourite Disney songs. The laughter and smiles on everyone's faces added extra happiness to the night, and I'm not just talking about the young ones - the parents were all loving it too!
I have to give a mention to how great the security procedures were on the night. Before entering the area, everyone had to walk individually through metal detectors and all bags were searched. Having attended over 50 events at the Metro Radio Arena, this was the best and most thorough security checks I have ever experienced, and it really did make us feel very safe once inside.
The show started with the story of Aladdin complete with the Genie and Princess Jasmine, skating around the rink beautifully and showcasing some impressive tricks on the ice. Next were scenes from Beauty & The Beast which saw a recreating of the famous 'Be Our Guest' dancing dinner table scene, Tangled and Sleeping Beauty.
Elodie's favourite part was when Moana and her huge sidekick Maui took to the ice (for the first time with Disney On Ice) to sing and dance to a few songs from the movie, complete with fire on the rink to really add the wow factor. The songs and skates were broken up with re-enactments of small scenes from each of the films to tell the stories of each character. This was a really great way to add some comedy and the fun factor into the show, which worked really well to keep all of the children fixated rather than having just constant skating and music. We were seated near children of all ages, and didn't notice any of them getting bored or distracted at any point - It's a very well thought out family production.
We were pleased to find that there was a half time interval, which allowed for toilet breaks and trips to the refreshment and merchandise stands. As you would expect from this kind of event, prices are quite high... We paid £10 for a large hot dog, chips and bottle of drink and bought Elodie a Mickey Mouse T-Shirt for £12. Programmes are on sale for £8, figurines, soft toys and dolls all have varying prices, flashing lights and flashing mouse ears start at £18 each (!) and snow cones in plastic character cups start at £9 each - I was so tempted by these, but couldn't bring myself to pay the price! There are also photo booths where children could have their photos taken in scenes from The Little Mermaid and Frozen, but again you had to pay for this.
I do have to express how disappointed (although not surprised) we were by the high prices, as it was clear to see many children were left saddened at being told they couldn't have the things on offer. I've been to many concerts around the country over the years and merchandise is always priced unfairly, but I did have a bit of hope that at a child targeted event, they might have been a little more reasonable.
Once everyone was seated again, the show was back in full swing with scenes from Cinderella (who wore some amazing, sparkly, glass slipper inspired skates) an The Little Mermaid, which was my personal favourite. It's always been my favourite Disney film, so to see them recreate Under The Sea with bubbles cascading down from the ceiling and Kiss The Girl complete with Flounder, Sebastian and even Ursula, really made my night. It took me back when I was six years old in Florida and the film had just been released, it felt magical.
The final scenes starred Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Hans and Olaf who skated and danced under falling snow, to all of the Frozen favourites including Let It Go, Do You Wanna Build A Snowman and Love Is An Open Door. At this point the whole crowd were in full swing, singing along to all of the songs, children were dancing in the aisles and thoroughly loving the final scenes of the show.
For the encore, all of the characters and skaters were back on the stage to say goodbye. I was really impressed at just how many people were on the ice, it was such a big production and the talent of all the skaters was amazing (we only noticed one little slip throughout the whole show).
Disney On Ice presents Dream Big is live in Newcastle until October 7th with ticket prices starting around the £22 mark. The tour will then move on to other areas of the UK including Manchester, Sheffield, London and Dublin.
Let me know if you've been, or if you plan on going to a show soon!
*I received our tickets in return for this review, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

US draws plans for up to 9,000 troops in Afghanistan: Report
Plans now prepared by the Pentagon call for leaving roughly 3,000, 6,000 or 9,000 US troops in the country.

WASHINGTON: The US Defense Department has prepared plans for a smaller presence in Afghanistan after the White House insisted on examining the option of leaving fewer troops in the country after 2014 than was initially proposed, The Wall Street Journal reported late Friday.
The newspaper said the plans now prepared by the Pentagon call for leaving roughly 3,000, 6,000 or 9,000 US troops in the country.
Those troops would launch strikes against militants and continue training the Afghan army and police, who will be responsible for national security more than a decade after a US-led alliance ousted the Taliban regime in 2001.
US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the slimmed-down force would focus on preventing al Qaeda, which was sheltered by the 1996-2001 Taliban government, from regaining a foothold in the war-shattered nation.
General John Allen, commander of US and Nato forces in Afghanistan, had earlier suggested leaving 6,000 to 15,000 US troops, the Journal pointed out.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai prepares to visit Washington next week to discuss the US security presence after 2014.
The United States and its allies are currently negotiating future troop commitments to Afghanistan on the basis of a formula that calls for US troops to make up two-thirds of any follow-on force, The Journal said.
According to the paper, with a smaller US troop presence, the State Department would also be forced to cut plans for large-scale diplomatic outposts across Afghanistan.
The new plans would heighten the US reliance on drones to monitor and target militants after most manned aircraft and their pilots pull out, the paper said.
Karzai hints at conditional immunity for US troops post-2014

Teen (17) rapes, deflowers neighbour (11) and gives her $2 bribe
6th March 2019 Zimbabwe
Mutare: A 17-year-old juvenile who raped his 11-year-old neighbour in the bush and gave her a $2 bond note bribe for her not to reveal the abuse was on Monday jailed five years by a local magistrate.
The teen denied the charges but was convicted by magistrate Loice Mukunyadzi due to overwhelming evidence against him.
"What you did is inhumane," Mukanyadzi said while handing a ruling.
"As you are her neighbour, you should have protected her rather than abusing her. You are a danger to society and you need a lengthy sentence to deter would-be offenders.
"More to it, you deflowered her and these memories will haunt her for a long time."
Prosecutors told court that on September 24 last year, the minor was going to school when she was approached by the teen who grabbed and dragged her into the bush.
Court was told that he wrestled the minor to the ground and raped her.
After committing the offence, it was revealed, the abuser gave her $2 as bribe.
He also threatened her with unspecified action if she ever revealed the abuse.
The matter came to light after the minor's teacher found her with $2 and reported the matter to her uncle.
The girl's uncle quizzed her on where she got the money but she lied about it.
She later opened up on the source when the uncle persisted on her revealing it.
The boy's family later tried to engage the victim`s uncle begging him not to report the matter to the police but he refused.
The State called three witnesses to testify.
A medical report showed that the victim`s hymen was stretched, confirming penetration.
Before the incident, the girl was said to have been a virgin.
Tawananyasha Muuya prosecuted.

Thanks in advance I'm pulling my hair out.

A: In my case I just forgot to put:
factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory"

in my /tomcat7/conf/context.xml. Just added and all worked fine.
My context.xml:
<Context>
    <Resource name="jdbc/gestrel" auth="Container"
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
    url="jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/g...."
    username="postgres"
    password="....." maxActive="20" maxIdle="10"
    factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory"
   maxWait="-1"/>
</Context>

A: Today I've spent a half of the day trying to deal with the similar issue. I have tomcat server.xml file defining context like this:
<Context docBase="app" path="/my_context_path">
</Context>

Then I tried to add jdbc pool support using org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource.
Just added resource definition to my server.xml context definition (see above). And of cause I defined resource-ref in my web.xml.
But there was always org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource returned. I spent time debugging tomcat and finally got to the following:

*

*If I define resource in server.xml context - tomcat does NOT pick that up.

*If define in web archive's META-INF/context.xml works ok.

*If define in server.xml GlobalNamingResources tag - tomcat does NOT pick that up.

*If define in tomcat global context.xml file works ok.

If you specify resource-ref in web.xml for bad cases 1,3 - tomcat will return org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource, cause as I can see it is some kind of default. BUT using such data source returned will cause something like this:

org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'
    at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource.createConnectionFactory(BasicDataSource.java:1452)
    at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource.createDataSource(BasicDataSource.java:1371)
    at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource.getConnection(BasicDataSource.java:1044)

If not specify resource-ref in web.xml then you will get an exception telling that resource with such name could not be find.
Also I noticed that for good cases 2,4 specifying resource-ref in web.xml is not necessary (works with and without resource-ref).
Try some of the cases I described. I hope something will help.
I would try to define resource in tomcat global context.xml file.
Good luck!
P.s. I run 7.0.22 version as well.

A: The solution is to import javax.sql.DataSource in your servlet as you define the resouce in context.xml of  type="javax.sql.DataSource"

Japan and the United States plan to jointly offer training to maritime authorities of Pacific island nations to help them better crack down on illegal fishing within their exclusive economic zones, a Japanese government source said Saturday.
During a roughly three-week program in Japan, which will begin on Nov. 25, officials from 12 nations, including Palau, the Marshal Islands and Micronesia will learn how the Japan Coast Guard conducts policing and visit related facilities, according to the source.
When Japan hosted a summit of Pacific island nations in Fukushima Prefecture in May, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Tokyo was willing to assist them in beefing up maritime capability as illegal fishing by foreign vessels in their EEZs is on the rise.
The training program, which will include some U.S. experts, is part of that initiative.
Protecting maritime resources is a major challenge for Pacific island nations with EEZs far greater in size than their land areas. Foreign ships from such countries as China and the Philippines have been spotted fishing illegally.
Japan has dispatched Japan Coast Guard officials to some Pacific Island nations for assistance.

The Chicago Blackhawks 2013 season was one of the most successful in its 88 year history as a member of the NHL. Despite a late start to the season due to a four month lockout, the Blackhawks managed to begin the year with 11 consecutive wins, suffering no losses in the first two months after the lockout ended. The Avalanche snapped the streak on March 8th, but not before the Blackhawks could break nearly every points record in franchise and league history, including Ray Emery becoming the only goaltender to ever start a season with at least 10 straight wins – he extended the record to 12 consecutive wins.
Emery and counterpart Corey Crawford earned the William M. Jennings Trophy at the end of the year for allowing just 102 goals during the regular season, the least in the NHL. Other awards given to the team in 2013 included the first three Star of the Week naming of the season, one each to Emery and Crawford, and another to center Patrick Kane. Jonathan Toews was chosen to receive the Frank J. Selke Trophy, given to the best defensive player of the regular season.
The Chicago Blackhawks finished the 2013 regular season with 36 wins and 7 losses, enough to garner the first seed in the Western Conference. The record was also the best in the NHL that year, giving the Blackhawks home-ice advantage in the playoffs. The team defeated Minnesota and Detroit at the United Center in front of record-breaking crowds before eliminating the reigning Stanley Cup champion Kings in five games in the Western Conference finals.
In the Stanley Cup, the Chicago Blackhawks met the 2011 champion Boston Bruins for the first game between the two clubs of that year. Despite their storied pasts, the occasion also marked the first Stanley Cup series the teams had ever played against each other in, and the first in which two Original Six teams had met since 1979. The Blackhawks took the first game at the United Center, which went into a third overtime, but lost the next two in the series to fall behind 1-2. Another overtime win in game four tied the teams at two-apiece before the Blackhawks comfortably won game five back in Chicago. Game six at Boston went down to the wire. Two goals in the last minute-and-a-half of regulation saw the Blackhawks comeback from a nearly game-long one-point deficit to win their second Stanley Cup.
Coming into the 2014 as defending Stanley Cup champions, the Chicago Blackhawks made few changes to the previous year's roster. Forward Dave Bolland, the scorer of the team's Stanley Cup clinching goal months earlier, was the only notable trade made by the organization during the off-season, and no signings have been made since last November. As of the second week of the New Year, the Blackhawks sit atop the central division with 68 points, 29 wins, and eight losses.
The Blackhawks had shot to be back-to-back champions when they started the playoffs against the St. Louis Blues. The Blues won the first two games of the series, before Chicago roared back to win the next four games. They went on to play against the Minnesota Wild in the Western Conference Semifinals. They took that series four games to two. It was on to Los Angeles, to play the Western Conference finals. The series went to game seven, but sadly the Blackhawks lost in the final game. That left the Kings to represent the West. In 2015, the Blackhaws did make the playoffs. Will the team go on to the finals? Stay tuned.
The Chicago Blackhawks were founded in 1926 and have spent their entire existence in Chicago, Illinois. The Blackhawks have been one of the NHL's oldest franchises, and since their inception nearly 90 years ago, have been one of the most successful.
Throughout their long history, the Blackhawks have won their division 15 times, most recently in 2013. The Blackhawks have won their conference three times- 1992, 2010, and 2013. In addition, Chicago has won the Stanley Cup five times- 1934, 1938, 1961, 2010, and 2013. Also, the Blackhawks have won the Presidents' Trophy twice- 1991, and 2013.
After not doing much since the early 1990's, the Blackhawks began a push in 2009-2010. They hit on some great draft choices like Jonathan Toews and scored big in free agency with Marion Hossa. The result has been two Stanley Cup wins and host of other deep playoff runs. They are currently in the midst of another one. During the 2015 NHL playoffs, they defeated the Nashville Predators in round one.
The Chicago Blackhawks had a great 2015-2016 regular season. They finished the season with 103 points, tied for the third best record in the Western Conference with the Anaheim Ducks behind the St. Louis Blues and the Dallas Stars. Due to the NHL's somewhat odd playoff scheduling, the Blackhawks found themselves facing the St. Louis Blues in round one, and the Blues won in seven games. The Blackhawks entered the off-season with little work to do. Basically they feel that they just need polish up a few things and the team will be contenders once again. Their most notable off-season move was trading their first round draft choice along with Marko Dano to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for Andrew Ladd, Jay Harrison, and Matt Frazier.
The Chicago Blackhawks had about as good of a regular season a year ago as a team could hope for. They finished with 109 points, good for the top seed in the West. The playoffs however, were a different story. In one of the more stunning upsets in recent memory, the Blackhawks were sent home early by the 8th seeded Nashville Predators in a sweep. Entering the offseason, the Blackhawks didn't have much room to do anything, so they opted for smaller moves, such as signing defensemen Eric Gustafsson to a one-year contract as well as goaltender Collin Delia to a two-year contract. In the draft, the Blackhawks had the 29th selection overall in round one, and used it to fortify their back line, grabbing defensemen Henri Jokiharju from Portland of the WHL. This is a franchise that has been of the NHL's premier teams for a long time now, and they have the hardware to prove it. One must wonder how long they can keep this up for.


Marvel Studios Mystery Event Revealed!
On Tuesday, October 28, 2014 at 2:00pm EST, Marvel Studios held an mystery event in the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles.
The anticipation was palpable as soon as the clock struck 2:00pm. Reportedly present in the audience were Joss Whedon, the Russo Brothers (Captain America), and Scott Derrickson. As entertainment before the main event, an organ player sat on stage playing Disney and Star Wars tunes. Many, and I only mean myself when I type this, speculated the inclusion of a Journey Into Mystery announcement. Because reasons…and Loki.
At 2:11pm EST, the event begins with the Age of Ultron trailer released last week. Executive producer Kevin Feige says more than 70 million watched the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer since it was unleashed upon the internet a week early. "Thanks to the good people at Hydra," mused Feige.
After the trailer, Feige introduces Joss Whedon. After recapping Phase Two of the MCU, they say that, 10 films in, they've made 7 billion dollars so far. We'll let you wrap your brain around that for a second.
Captain America: The Serpent Society will be released on May 6 2016.
Doctor Strange, directed by Scott Derrickson, is coming November 4, 2016. Benedict Cumberbatch is currently in talks for taking up the titular character. Feige says that this will bring the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the supernatural and side of things, as well as into a world of parallel dimensions.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2's release date has been moved up to May 5, 2017, says James Gunn in a video. He's also writing and directing.
Thor: Ragnarok is taking GotG 2's original release date, July 28, 2017. Chris Hemswoth and Tom Hiddleston will return for this third film, with Feige teasing that this will be "the end of all things." This will pick up right after Avengers 2 and "revitalize the character." What in the world will that entail?
Next up is Black Panther for November 3, 2017. "Things have already been seeded for the Black Panther movie," Feige teased. We've already seen tiny Easter eggs with the mention of Vibranium, which Panther's home country Wokanda has lots of. Taking up the mantel will be Chadwick Boseman.
Captain Marvel will be released on July 6, 2018. But that's not all, oh no. CAROL DANVERS IS CAPTAIN MARVEL! Her movie has been in the works as long as Doctor Strange, said Feige. Captain Marvel will be a mixture of Earth origins and cosmic adventures. No solid word yet on who will be playing Danvers.
Inhumans is next in line, which is scheduled to release on November 2, 2018. Dozens of new heroes introduced with Inhumans. "We do believe Inhumans can be a franchise," said Feige. "They have dozens of different power bases. They have an amazing social structure. And tons of spectacular new powers, new effects." This will be Marvel's 20th film.
The screen shows a clip of the Avengers plus scenes from multiple movies; a montage of all the films so far. Then…BAM! You get a screen full of Thanos wearing the Infinity Gauntlet!
THE AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR!!!! This story will be a two-part film. Part One will be released May 4, 2018, and Part 2 on May 3, 2019.
Then he revealed the real title, Captain America: Civil War. Everyone lost their minds.
"Welcome to the fray," Downey said.
The event ended soon after with a Q&A from the audience with Kevin Feige.
So… No Journey Into Mystery, but I'm still satisfied with what's been revealed. Have you all lost your minds yet? What do you all think of this news?

Grassroots Efforts for Getting Money Out of Politics
Brian Biery: For many years as a community organizer I have observed the corrupting and damaging effects of money in politics, so I have decided to do something about it by running a campaign on very little funding.
Brian Biery
Can big money be squeezed out of politics? Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, thinks so and that it must happen if we are going to salvage what's left of our electoral system.
Earlier this week, Cohen went on CNBC to unveil his most recent project, The Stampede: Get Money Out of Politics.
"We need to get big money out of politics…so that politicians are no longer beholden to those that pay them big money, i.e. corporations, unions, whatever, …" stated Cohen.
When pushed to clarify how any candidate could be competitive in this age of powerful media and multinational corporations without relying on big money, Cohen responded with a suggestion for public financing of campaigns. "If we give everyone in the country a $100 voucher to give to any candidate they want, it will level the playing field."
This is a bi-partisan issue and most American want caps on campaign financing, as this recent poll shows
We need to defeat big money so that candidates don't spend time raising funds instead of meeting with the people they will be representing. The question is, can the interests of the ultra-wealthy and corporations be diminished in relevancy and clout?
The short answer is yes, but only if millions of Americans get on board.
How do I know? I am currently trying to accomplish this feat on a local level running as a candidate for the City of Pasadena's District 1 City Council seat.
For many years as a community organizer I have observed the corrupting and damaging effects of money in politics, so I have decided to do something about it by running a campaign on very little funding.
Very quickly I learned first hand why candidates end up relying so much on large donations. Once you start the process of filing for candidacy, you are bombarded by companies that want to help you to run your campaign. Who knew that 150 yard signs would cost about $1,000? Or that a beautiful tri-fold brochure would cost another $1-2,000 to design and print? And that doesn't even include the money to acquire voter lists and the postage to mail flyers to voters.

There is another way.
The secret to getting the word out without money is: relationships. People vote for those whom they know and trust, especially in local elections. Of course there are public candidate forums where all the candidates can speak. There are also interviews with the media as well as various groups and organizations. In addition to those traditional avenues, my campaign has focused on person-to-person connections.
In the past month and a half, friends and neighbors have hosted 15 'Living Room Conversations' for me that have averaged between 7-8 neighbors per event. Slated for two hours, these discussions frequently continue past the appointed time because folks are fired up by the fact that a candidate is willing to spend so much time with them and talk about the issues that matter.
We are also hosting weekly gatherings called, "Bagels with Biery", at neighborhood coffee shops that provide the opportunity for folks to drop in and say hello or even stay and chat. These events create hubs of community activity that could lead to greater involvement and organizing. They also support local businesses and encourage their participation in the civic engagement process.
My campaign is also relying on walking the streets and talking to people where they live. In order to cover large sections of our district my supporters and I decided to fortify the 'walking precincts' strategy with volunteer participation. We call them 'Neighborhood Hikes' and have covered over 4,000 households with 26 volunteers on three separate occasions, passing out flyers and talking about my candidacy and the issues. Repeatedly residents have thanked me for actually taking the time to visit their homes.
My campaign has even started a new trend! We have made and painted our own yard signs out of used cardboard boxes and cheap paint.
We have held four sign painting parties and engaged over two-dozen supporters in the creative process of visual communication. Each sign is unique, made of recycled materials and can either be recycled later on or reused.
Another important tool we have heavily relied on is the internet. In this age of global communications where we can reach the opposite side of the planet in just a few seconds, using Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, web sites, etc. is an obvious strategy. Best of all, it costs very little!
For many of us it is easier just to write a check - even a small one - for our favorite candidate. But if we truly want to have a voice in politics and a representative democracy, then we have to do more than just sign our name.
With amazing volunteers, creative events, relationship over glitz, and a bit of elbow grease and shoe leather, a candidate can indeed reach voters and share their platform effectively without having to raise tons of money.
It is not so much whether or not we can we run campaigns without the influence of moneyed interests. It is more a question of whether we want to or not, and whether we have the will to get back to, as Cohen states, "one person, one vote."

DUNKIRK (1958) & SEA OF SAND (1958)
DUNKIRK:
The film relates the story of Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of surrounded English and French troops from the beaches ofDunkirk. It does so principally from the viewpoints of two people: a newspaper reporter and a soldier. "Tubby" Bins, a Britishcorporal (Mills) is trying to get his men to Dunkirk, where they, the rest of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) and thousands ofFrench soldiers hope to be evacuated. After their officer is killed in a bomber attack, it is up to Tubby to keep his demoralized charges motivated. They eventually get a lift in a RAF lorry and make it to the beaches. Parallel to this action is the story of Charles Foreman (Lee), a cynical journalist who is trying to raise morale amongst his depressed readers. When the Admiralty commandeers his motorboat to aid the evacuation from Dunkirk, Foreman is inspired to volunteer his services and take the boat across the Channel himself, despite warnings of the danger. A friend, Holden (Attenborough), a motor engineer and successful businessman does the same, albeit reluctantly. Taking part in the rescue are ships of the Royal Navy and hundreds of civilian vessels of all shapes and sizes - "The Little Ships". On the beaches of Dunkirk, Foreman and Tubby meet, but Foreman is fatally wounded in an attack by German aeroplanes. Although Foreman's boat is wrecked, Holden's Heron makes it safely to Britain. (130 minutes; in English. Very good quality).
SEA OF SAND:
Directed by Guy Green and written by Robert Westerby, the film is set in North Africa during World War II and tells the story of a patrol of the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG), commandos who drove long distances behind enemy lines in the fight againstRommel's Afrika Korps. The film's technical advisor was Bill Kennedy Shaw, who served as the group's intelligence officer during the desert campaign. The score was by Clifton Parker and was performed by the Sinfonia of London under the musical direction of Muir Mathieson. Many consider it to be a fairly accurate description of a typical LRDG patrol. One glaring mistake however is the troops' use of Sten guns which were never issued to or used by LRDG, who used either the SMLE .303 or the Thompson submachine gun. It was filmed entirely in Tripolitania, Libya. (95 minutes; in English. Very good quality.)
DVD-R IS IN ENGLISH. Approximately 225 minutes. Can be played in any DVD player (zero region).

We bring joy to chronically and terminally ill children and their families by surrounding them with a Pile of Puppies.
"Jen from POP was so thoughtful about setting up a successful experience for our family. She really thought ahead and asked questions to customize it carefully for our unique needs. It was just the right amount of snuggles and joy without being too tiring for my daughter. It was a blast for the girls and is now a special memory that we like to talk about."
"I really enjoyed being able to put a smile on a little girl's face, as well as giving her and her family some time that wasn't about being sick. The puppies benefited with another car ride, meeting new people and being in a new place.
Jen made sure that everything was safe for the puppies, the family had a dog free, and clean, home. It was an all around great experience!"
"Having a pile of puppies in our house brought such delight and lightness to our family. Our kids anticipated it for days and are still talking about the adorable puppies. It was such a wonderful ray of sunshine that we all needed and loved. Thank you!"

"It's hard not to smile when you see a puppy. Even harder not to laugh when a little furball licks your face. That's why Jennifer Trepanier created Pile of Puppies--to bring a joyful experience to chronically ill children and their families by surrounding them with furry, four-legged love! Helen Raptis got to help out when Pile of Puppies visited the Christopherson-Engh family whose 9-year-old daughter Hayden is fighting osteosarcoma."
Jennifer Thompson Trepanier is no stranger to chronic illnesses. When she was 12, Jennifer was diagnosed with dermatomyositis, a rare disease that caused her immune system to attack her muscles. For months she couldn't get out of bed and even had trouble swallowing. After four years, she finally went into remission, but her early twenties brought a wave of unexplained fevers and joint pains that lasted three years. In light of these treacherous experiences, Jennifer knew she wanted to help people who spent their lives fighting serious illnesses. "I was on Facebook, and I saw this video of puppies being piled on people," Jennifer told TODAY. "I said, that's what I want to bring to people who are sick and dying... a light in the darkness."
"Can you think of any problem a literal pile of puppies wouldn't solve — if only for a few hours? No? Neither can we … and neither could Jennifer Thompson Trepanier of Portland, Oregon. Trepanier founded nonprofit organization Pile of Puppies in hopes of bringing some four-legged comfort and joy to chronically ill children and their families."
