Home Things To Do New Year's Eve events in Fort Myers, Naples. What's happening — and what's not.
New Year's Eve events in Fort Myers, Naples. What's happening — and what's not.
by Charles Runnells
Nobody's doing big fireworks displays or crowded block parties for New Year's Eve. Not in Southwest Florida, anyway.
They're all canceled for the same reason. You guessed it: COVID-19.
That includes huge, popular events such as the Downtown Countdown in Fort Myers, the Naples New Year's Eve fireworks show and the South Cape New Year's Eve Ball Drop.
All canceled.
But don't worry, you can still celebrate the new year with smaller events that allow for more social distancing and other precautions. This year's lineup includes concerts, comedy shows, dinners, drag-queen karaoke, a dolphin cruise — and even a few smaller fireworks displays.
Here's what's happening — and what's not — in Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, Punta Gorda and the rest of Southwest Florida.
If you go to an in-person event, the CDC recommends wearing a face mask, avoiding mass gatherings and staying at least 6 feet from others. For more CDC guidelines, visit bit.ly/2OxDkqq.

COVID-19 January 2021 New Year's Eve


Washington Square was at the heart of colonial-era Newport and this important district was anchored by two structures: the Brick Market and the Old Colony House. These two buildings are both operated by the Newport Historical Society, which has long been the keeper of important artifacts and documents relating to the settlement and growth of Newport since the late seventeenth century. Their work in preserving and making these great colonial buildings available to scholars and the general public alike makes this institution an important partner in the preservation of Newport's architectural heritage, which is also a critical piece of America's architectural patrimony.
The Old Colony House represents the civic side of the early Newport community. Designed and built by the former shipwright Richard Munday in 1739, the building displays a mix of Baroque and Georgian influences. The brick structure, with its rustic quoins, proclaims the building's self-importance and grandeur in a time when the vast majority of Newport buildings were humble wood clapboard. The railing and dormers however give the building a Georgian residential feeling that probably made the Colony house feel right at home with the many Georgian houses that were being built in the area at the time. The broken pediment looks like a grand entrance door that had been elevated high above the Parade which it overlooked. It is from the balcony of this very building that the Declaration of Independence was reportedly read to the assembled crowd below in 1776. This building continued to have a civic function, serving as the part-time home for the Rhode Island legislature for more than 150 years until the grand state house was built in 1901, at the beginning of the twentieth century. Of the several hundred buildings described and photographed in Ron Onorato's excellent survey of architecture, the AIA Guide to Newport, it is not coincidental that the Colony House is the very first to be listed as it among the oldest and most important existing in the community.
Since 1971 "Christmas in Newport" has celebrated the holiday in a traditional and lovely way. On December 1, from 3-5pm, the Colony House will be open to the community for a "Holiday Open House" to kick off this annual celebration. In addition to being able to tour this important structure, visitors have the added inducement of being able to join together to begin the start of the advent season and to encourage Newporters to shop locally during the Christmas holiday so that our precious resources stay in the community. With the continuing improvement of Washington Square (and the buildings which surround it) these two buildings are wonderful destinations during the holiday season and serve as both places to celebrate the city's great history but also as spaces for Newporters to live, work and shop themselves. Come and celebrate Newport's rich past while sharing in its hopeful economic future! Come celebrate the season in the place where Newport was first founded.
Ross Sinclair Cann, AIA, LEED AP, is an historian, educator and practicing architect at A4 Architecture who lives and works in Newport, Rhode Island.

Becky McCully is a 36 year old competitive athlete. At 5'8" 170 pounds she competes as a RAW powerlifter in the APA & USPA. Her love for powerlifting came by chance. She grew up as a cowgirl, riding all her life and still continues to ride and compete in team roping. In late 2006 she suffered a tremendous fall. Bleeding on the brain, a seizure and a broken tailbone left her couch ridden with vertigo for quite some time. Unable to exercise Becky gained 4 pants sizes in less than 2 years, which left her depressed and in a downward spiral. In January 2009 Becky McCully decided that it was time to take control of her life again, and her first step was to join a gym. She chose a local gym "Powerfit Personal Training" to work with a with a Personal Trainer for accountability and it didn't take long before Becky fell in love with the squat.
In early 2010 her horse had an injury, giving Becky more time to hit the gym with intensity. Trainer Todd Gilchrist commented one day about her natural strength and asked if she had ever considered powerlifting. Having never heard of the sport, Becky did some research and decided it would be a good personal challenge. Her goal was to drop down to a specific weight class which required losing 15lbs of body weight and adding almost 100lbs to her lifting total.
Powerlifting training began in June 2010 for a November competition. Her personal goal was to lift a combined total of 600lbs in the 165lb weight class. As the training progressed, she realized more and more how much she enjoyed the feeling of empowerment that comes with lifting. The adrenaline rush after a good workout or a new personal record was like no other.
Four weeks before her first competition, Becky suffered a serious ankle sprain. Doctor's orders were to stay off of it for 2-3 weeks. Being a competitive athlete Becky knew that wasn't an option to be successful at her first competition. Thankfully, her trainer Todd's ingenuity designed a program where she could still keep building strength while staying off the ankle as much as possible. She was determined to reach for the stars, no matter what obstacles came her way.
For Becky's first competition, while battling against an injury, she Iifted a total of 585lbs raw while setting a new submaster record for all three lifts and combined total in her weight division in the APA. She had such a tremendous amount of fun and made so many new friends in the sport. She was amazed to discover, although she was "competing" against others, everyone was so helpful and supportive. Becky found out this sport is really about competing with ourselves, our minds and of course gravity!
This year's training focus has been on perfecting form while adding weight to all of her lifts. In May, 2011 she had a 655lb total and September she had 688lb total. Her goal is for a 725lb total in November of 2011. Her program is laid out, she is focused, and her nutrition is spot on. Becky is excited to see the results, but moreover she is enjoying the journey as well!


The Government have confirmed that new measures to crack down on rogue landlords will come into force on 6 April this year.
The new measures to be implemented under the Housing and Planning Act include powers to prosecute and impose significant fines or issue civil notices with penalties of up to £30,000. The new measures effectively mean that income raised from these penalties will be ring-fenced for further enforcement activity.
"We have long called for greater enforcement activity to end poor housing provision. While we're pleased that the government have been persuaded by our arguments, the responsibility now falls to local authorities to actively use the tools at their disposal to raise standards."
Now I have to say I don't think we have many Landlords locally who will fall foul of these new regulations however it does show how Government is continuing to try to improve the quality of the private rented sector.
On another matter; many landlords think buying white goods with a warranty is wise and in many cases it is, but let me relate this story to you. The fridge failed with a broken compressor and our Landlord had a 2 year warranty that had been provided by a well known and most respected national retailer. The help line was called and a maintenance visit was booked at their earliest time which was 4 days away. It was agreed the engineer would call our office 30 minutes before his arrival so we could meet him at the property, you have guessed it, they didn't call and a note was put through the letter box. We rang the help line again, they apologised and a further booking made for the following week and again confirmation we would be called 30 minutes before attending. On the morning of the appointment we rang the call centre just to confirm we would get that call this time and hey presto we did receive it and met the engineer at the property who recommended the fridge was repairable as it was under 2 years old but suggested the "well respected company" would probably replace it, oh and by the way his supervisor always took off the maintenance order the request to phone 30 mins before attending! It seems they are happy to attend a property and just leave a card. This matter started the first week in March and is still not resolved as the Landlord is still arguing with the supplier and waiting to be called back. Fortunately for the tenant Shipmans were able to provide the tenant with a fridge whilst the saga progresses. I therefore advise you to check very carefully the small print in your warranty documents.
For any further advice please call Ken Shipman on 01603 765858.

Troubled author settles score with controversial TV host in posthumous story
MONTREAL - A troubled author who killed herself two years ago has reached out from beyond her grave to shake up a high-profile Quebec TV host.
In "La Honte," which translates as "The Shame," Nelly Arcan writes of a young woman's traumatizing experience during a TV interview and how it deeply affected her.
What has raised eyebrows, however, is that the former prostitute-turned-acclaimed-author apparently based the story on her treatment during a 2007 interview on Quebec's top-rated "Tout le monde en parle."
In the interview with host Guy A. Lepage, Arcan discussed her new book at the time, "A ciel ouvert," where she chronicles the tempestuous lives of two women who define themselves through plastic surgery. The interview jumps off from this to examine attitudes to sexuality, beauty and women.
The interview is pretty standard fare, with some brief juvenile asides by some of Lepage's fellow panellists. Arcan looks uncomfortable at some points and coolly dismisses a lewd comment by Lepage's sidekick about her low-cut dress.
A newly posted note on Arcan's website, which precedes the story, says the interview "quickly turned from Arcan's work to concentrate on the sulphurous aspects of her personality, her sensational declarations, her physical appearance and her incoherence."
It adds that in "La Honte," Arcan "relates her traumatizing experience with the media world" and "the lack of respect she suffered."
"La Honte" does not mention Lepage or his show by name, although the main character is also named Nelly.
Lepage spoke in an uncharacteristically hushed voice Tuesday in an interview with Radio-Canada, expressing shock at finding himself a character in posthumously released prose.
He said he raced home upon hearing about Arcan's story so he could watch the video of the two-year-old interview, to see what he might have done wrong.
Lepage said he was left baffled after viewing the video. He said he thought he treated Arcan politely, with even more respect than he accorded to some other guests.
He also released a statement in reaction to "La Honte."
"In this story, she demonizes me, suggests I had vile and hidden intentions toward her in this interview which she has judged as disastrous," Lepage wrote on his "Tout le monde en parle" website.
"It would be inappropriate of me to reply to Nelly considering she died in tragic circumstances two years ago. But I would like to say I was troubled at reading this new work because I have always enjoyed her writing and will always appreciate it."
Arcan was 36 when she hanged herself in her Montreal apartment in 2009, shortly after finishing her fourth novel, "Paradis en clef." A translated version is available in English this year under the title "Exit."
Lepage said the controversy has disturbed him deeply because he lost a brother to suicide.
He posted the original interview on the show's website and asked people to read Arcan's story, watch the interview and draw their own conclusions.
Some rallied to Lepage's defence, including blogger Stephane Laporte, who said the host was beyond reproach.
He said the tragedy occurred because Arcan was an extremely sensitive woman, psychologically fragile, and unprepared for the unsparing scrutiny of live television.
"Guy A. Lepage was not mean to her," Laporte wrote on the website of Montreal La Presse. "Guy A. Lepage did his job that night, as he does every Sunday."
Lepage's "Tout le monde en parle" isn't just a popular show.
It's a Quebec institution with sky-high ratings and is considered a necessary stop for anybody seeking to be somebody in the province. Some guests, like late NDP leader Jack Layton last spring, have coasted to new heights of popularity on the strength of a single appearance. Others have received a rockier ride from the show's irreverent host and other regulars.
The show has no real equivalent in English Canada but rivets audiences in Quebec who tune into it on Radio-Canada, the French-language network of the CBC.
A program where entertainment personalities mingle with decision-makers, it regularly draws more than 1.4 million viewers and claims a monster audience share in Quebec.
Arcan's story has been posted on a website created by Parvis Communications, at the request of her family, to keep her work alive. The site includes other unpublished work.
Arcan left few indifferent and her writing talent was seldom discussed by either gender without reference to her stunning looks.
Her first novel in 2001 was "Putain," which was translated into English as "Whore" in 2004, and followed by three more books that established her as a literary star in Quebec and France.

The Ancient Agora of Athens is a flat area defined by the Sacred Rock of the Acropolis, the hill of Areopagus in the south and the hill of Kolonos Agoraios in the west.
It is traversed by one of the most important ancient roads, the Panathenaic Way, which led to the Acropolis from the main gate of the city, the Dipylon Gate.
This road served as the processional way for the great parade of the Panathenaic festival, which was held to honour the city patron goddess Athena.
The place was occupied without interruption in all periods of the city's history.
It was used as a residential and burial area as early as the Late Neolithic period (3000 B.C.). Early in the 6th century, in the time of Solon, the Agora became a public area.
It was one of the most important parts of an ancient city of Athens.
In addition to being a place where people gathered to buy and sell all kinds of commodities, it was also a place where people assembled to discuss all kinds of topics: business, politics, current events, or the nature of the universe and the divine.
The Agora of Athens, where ancient Greek democracy first came to life, provides a wonderful opportunity to examine the commercial, political, religious, and cultural life of one of the greatest cities of the ancient world.

Pathogenicity and transmission in pigs of the novel ... [J Virol. 2012] - PubMed - NCBI
J Virol. 2012 Jun;86(12):6804-14. Epub 2012 Apr 4.
Pathogenicity and transmission in pigs of the novel A(H3N2)v influenza virus isolated from humans and characterization of swine H3N2 viruses isolated in 2010-2011.
Kitikoon P, Vincent AL, Gauger PC, Schlink SN, Bayles DO, Gramer MR, Darnell D, Webby RJ, Lager KM, Swenson SL, Klimov A.
Virus and Prion Disease Research Unit, National Animal Disease Center, USDA-ARS, Ames, Iowa, USA.
Swine influenza virus (SIV) H3N2 with triple reassorted internal genes (TRIG) has been enzootic in Unites States since 1998. Transmission of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) virus to pigs in the United States was followed by reassortment with endemic SIV, resulting in reassorted viruses that include novel H3N2 genotypes (rH3N2p). Between July and December 2011, 12 cases of human infections with swine-lineage H3N2 viruses containing the pandemic matrix (pM) gene [A(H3N2)v] were detected. Whole-genome analysis of H3N2 viruses isolated from pigs from 2009 to 2011 sequenced in this study and other available H3N2 sequences showed six different rH3N2p genotypes present in the U.S. swine population since 2009. The presence of the pM gene was a common feature among all rH3N2p genotypes, but no specific genotype appeared to predominate in the swine population. We compared the pathogenic, transmission, genetic, and antigenic properties of a human A(H3N2)v isolate and two swine H3N2 isolates, H3N2-TRIG and rH3N2p. Our in vivo study detected no increased virulence in A(H3N2)v or rH3N2p viruses compared to endemic H3N2-TRIG virus. Antibodies to cluster IV H3N2-TRIG and rH3N2p viruses had reduced cross-reactivity to A(H3N2)v compared to other cluster IV H3N2-TRIG and rH3N2p viruses. Genetic analysis of the hemagglutinin gene indicated that although rH3N2p and A(H3N2)v are related to cluster IV of H3N2-TRIG, some recent rH3N2p isolates appeared to be forming a separate cluster along with the human isolates of A(H3N2)v. Continued monitoring of these H3N2 viruses is necessary to evaluate the evolution and potential loss of population immunity in swine and humans.

Greetings everyone, here is the third instalment of the styling series of the BRACHER EMDEN, THACKERAYS and STYLE IS MY THING collaboration. I love how versatile this clutch actually is, it can easily be taken from day to night. Just add the straps inside the bag and put it over/cross the body for a more causal look.
Saudações a todos, aqui está a terceira parcela da série de styling em colaboração com a BRACHER EMDEN, THACKERAYS e o STYLE IS MY THING. Amei o quão versátil essa carteira é, ela pode ser facilmente usada de dia e de noite. Basta adicionar as tiras de dentro da carteira e colocá-la crusada ao corpo para um visual mais causal.


I always recommend to go to your local bakery or supermarket bakery whenever possible if it is just one or two boxes you need for a cake or whatever.
I doubt they would not sell it to you, or at least I hope they will.
As I mentioned in the video below, Michael's Crafts has a good selection of cake boards and boxes but they are pricey and they are not that nice (in my opinion); I guess I got spoiled by the better quality box and definitely better quality gold covered cake boards than what they are selling, but in a pinch it will do.
In the case that you cannot find what you need locally there are many online options, however I find many items are not always in stock, or the shipping is delayed or I just can't find the size I'm looking for.
The hardest part for me even when I was in the bakery was finding smaller, specialty boxes for miniatures and party favors.
Sure I found them at those craft stores but usually in small packs of 3 or 4 and they came in at over $1 a piece!
Introducing a company that is making and selling 4″ x 4″ x 2.5″ bakery boxes with a window!
I wish had access to this company years ago as it would have come in handy to buy a commercial pack of 50 for less than $.60 a piece!
And with Amazon prime you get free shipping!
So check out the video below for my review on this bakery box, I think it is a great quality box and would be perfect for so many small items!
Now give me just another minute of your time before you go, I want to talk about cake size vs. cake board vs. cake box.
This is usually an area for confusion until you get some practice in cake making and transporting said cake.
8″ cake = 10″ board + 10″ box.
I always went 2 sizes up from the actual size of the cake to compensate for the icing border and any extra decorations that may be around the cake.
Also it gives the customer an inch or so to grab the cake board without sticking their fingers into the sides when removing it from the box.
Of course you can go bigger to a 12″ board and box but this depends on the cake itself and your personal comfort level as well as what you feel is aesthetically more pleasing to display.
But general rule of thumb is to go 2″ bigger than the actual cake size for the board and the box.
If you are one who likes to build you cakes on a cardboard and then affix another display board for the final (#me) you will add another layer of confusion to the mix.
Below is a quick reference chart to quickly see what boards and boxes you need for all cake sizes.
And last but not least there are the corrugated drums for the larger cakes like weddings cakes and carved 3D cakes.
And these can be found mostly online and since you are usually planning ahead several weeks for orders like that, you have some time to get it even if shipping is delayed.
But when it comes to displaying the larger cakes, definitely go bigger than 2″, I would say go at least 4″ larger than the actual base cake.
Gretchen, great video and good information. Thank you!
Please help, I have to make a full sheet cake for a reunion from scratch, do I triple the recipe? I'm to make three yellow cakes without frosting just plain and one german chocolate with frosting. i enjoy your site and your recipes plus all your helpful tips.
Bakery box is essential to hold your cookies, pastry, cake securely.

JULY HORRORSCOPES: Mick Jagger
Knick Moore Horrorscopes
July is coming to a close, and I think we're all pretty freaking happy about that. As a whole, July 2016 will go down in history as a complete and utter shitshow of a month with almost nothing to redeem its pointless 744 hours of hell.
Except for this one thing.
Mick Jagger got his girlfriend pregnant. He's 72; she's 29. So that's weird.
"Here's a selfie of me bottle-feeding my great-grand-uncle." That's a thing someone is going to have to say for real in the world now.
Also, he already has a bunch of kids between the ages of 17 and 45. Not only has he impregnated yet another human being with his mummy-dust semen, but it's someone younger than several of his offspring. And that young someone will be giving birth to a child younger than his current, living, and totally perplexed great-grandchild. "Here's a selfie of me bottle-feeding my great-grand-uncle." That's a thing someone is going to have to say for real in the world now.
When I pointed this weirdness out on the internets, I received a comment from an older but not quite elderly woman who argued that she knows some pretty active and healthy people in their 70s. These people, I retorted, are not Mick Jagger. Let me tell you about how he's spent his life.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Mick Jagger hasn't been eating vegan and doing yoga for the past 50 years. His body has been a walking air filter/dialysis machine since before the Beatles were wearing suits. Mick Jagger is a 72-year-old with the body of an Irish bog mummy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 21): Mick Jagger starts his day with a human-heart-and-used-cigarette-filter smoothie.
VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 23): I met Mick Jagger in a bar once, and he stole my pint of Russian Imperial Stout, chugged it, then ate the glass.
LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23): Mick Jagger's teeth are made out of teeth he snatched out of the mouths of groupies with his tongue during sex.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): One time, Mick Jagger made love to a garbage truck because he felt its headlights were "being disrespectful."
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): Joe Perry collapsed onstage last week because Mick Jagger said his name out loud while holding a Marriott hotel copy of the Book of Mormon.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): Mick Jagger breathes fire, but not like a dragon: He has a respirator full of butane that he lights on fire then inhales deeply from.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): On April 26, 1986, Mick Jagger sprinkled cocaine on a rice cake, crushed it into a fine powder, and used it to do key bumps with Mikhail Gorbachev. On the same day, a nuclear reactor at Chernobyl exploded. The events are supposedly unrelated.
PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20): Mick Jagger writes all of Melania Trump's speeches.
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20): Andre the Giant once challenged Mick Jagger to a drinking contest. Jagger belched moistly into his open mouth. Andre the Giant woke up three days later with a hangover, believing he was Jesus Christ.
TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 21): Aliens landed on Earth on Feb. 26, 1977, in order to convince Mick Jagger to talk to Keith Richards about his heroin use. He threatened to break the egg containing his and David Bowie's love child unless they quit harassing him.
GEMINI (May 22-June 21): Mick Jagger has neither time nor inclination to mention me in conversation. My life is the existence of a fruit fly in the well-stocked bar of a Gulfstream jet owned by a drug-wrecked rock-star-turned-rap-lyric as he spills Louis XIII down the front of his silk shirt and jokes about his pregnant girlfriend not even being born when he made the worst music video ever created with a now dead legend.

9 Novels About Nannies for Grown-Up "Baby-Sitters Club" Fans
These adult books about childcare have fewer easy morals and more murder
Preety Sidhu and Jae-Yeon Yoo
Did the recent Netflix adaptation of the Baby-Sitters Club series leave you feeling nostalgic? Us too. Not just for landline phones or the sleepy town of Stonybrook, but also for the books, with their smart depictions of entrepreneurial pre-teens and their childcare escapades.
From Mary Poppins to Amelia Bedelia, children and their caretakers seem to be a staple in children's literature. But although we may not read a Baby-Sitters Club book a day like we used to, we don't necessarily have to outgrow babysitter narratives; the themes of family, childcare, equitable pay, and labor transactions also prove to be rich fodder for literary fiction. (There's a lot more murder in these than in the original BSC, though.) As a New York Times article notes, "the nanny novel lives on, showcasing complex and imperfect nannies whose personal stories intersect with thorny larger questions about race, class, immigration and parenthood." Below are nine books that tackle the nanny novel from a variety of angles.
Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
Aren't kids fun? Emira Tucker is a young Black babysitter working for a rich white family. Alix Chamberlain, her boss, is a white woman who prides herself on self-confidence and doing the "right thing." When a grocery store security guard accuses Emira of having kidnapped the white girl she is babysitting, the racist incident sets off a whole series of complications for the Chamberlains and Emira. Reid's acclaimed, page-turning debut explores the intersections of babysitting, class privilege, and race.
Patsy by Nicole Dennis-Benn
Single mother Patsy can only get an American visa if she agrees to leave her 5-year-old daughter Tru behind in Jamaica. Sending Tru to live with her father, Patsy heads to New York, hoping to reunite with her friend and former lover Cicely. But Cicely has married an abusive man and is unwilling to give up the lifestyle his wealth affords her. Meanwhile Patsy can only find work as a bathroom attendant at first, though eventually she secures steady work as a nanny. Caring for someone else's child leaves her haunted by the absence of her own daughter, who is growing up motherless—struggling with depression and self-harm but also with a burgeoning interest in soccer kindled by her father—back in Jamaica.
The Frangipani Tree Mystery by Ovidia Yu
In 1936 Singapore, recent mission school graduate Chen Su Lin has aspirations of attending secretarial school, but agrees to fill in as a temporary nanny for Singapore's acting governor Sir Henry Palin after his family's previous Irish nanny is killed in a fall from a balcony. Su Lin soon discovers from her charge Dee-Dee, Palin's adult daughter who never developed mentally past the age of 7 due to a fever, that she suspects someone murdered the previous nanny and intends to murder her as well. Su Lin investigates, navigating the British family's racism and distrust while gathering evidence for the murder case, at great risk to herself.
Minding Ben by Victoria Brown
Due to an unexpectedly disastrous arrival when her cousin fails to show up at the New York airport, Grace Caton winds up nannying for a rich Jewish family. Grace, a sixteen-year-old from Trinidad, learns the ins and outs of nannying in Manhattan, from gossiping in Union Square to weird employer requests. She also stumbles into a community of friends in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Set against the 1990s backdrop of the Crown Heights race riots, Minding Ben showcases the diverse turbulence of New York and the individual struggles it takes to make a living.
The Perfect Nanny by Leila Slimani
In Moroccan author Slimani's Goncourt Prize-winning novel, a Parisian lawyer and music producer hire Louise, a middle-aged widow with an estranged adult daughter, to look after their two small children. Louise seems perfect at first, winning the children over with her playfulness and creative games and the parents with her delicious cooking and constant readiness to take on more household work. She soon does prove too good to be true, as the pathologies underlying her perfectionism begin to emerge. The couple prepare to confront Louise but she murders their children first—a fact known from the very beginning of the book—in a crime propelled by extreme loneliness, compulsive behavior, and financial desperation within the secret economy of nannies in Paris's wealthier professional neighborhoods.
Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid
This 1990 coming-of-age novella by Kincaid is now considered a postcolonial feminist classic. Lucy comes to the U.S. from the West Indies to work as an au pair for a wealthy white family. However, she soon starts to notice that neither the U.S. nor the family are as flawless as they initially appeared. She also struggles to communicate with her own mother, who is steeped in traditional values that Lucy is trying to escape.
The Nanny by Gilly MacMillan
When she was 7, Jo Holt's beloved nanny Hannah disappeared, and her distant aristocratic parents seemed unconcerned about this. After the death of her husband, Jo moves back to her family's English mansion Lake Hall with her own daughter. When the two of them discover a 30-year-old skull near the lake, investigators suspect it might be Hannah. But then an older woman shows up claiming to be Hannah and Jo, desperate to reconnect, believes her and invites her to take care of her own young daughter—a catastrophic mistake.
A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore
Who is the perfect family for a babysitter with no childcare experience? The answer: a family who does not yet have a child, but has a turbulent and tragic backstory. Tassie Keltjin is a college student, looking for a side job—instead, she becomes embroiled in a local family's efforts to adopt a biracial child. With sharp, melancholic insight, Moore has crafted a crash course in grief, loss, and the limits of love.
My Hollywood by Mona Simpson
Simpson's novel alternates between the perspectives of Claire, a successful composer and less-than-confident new mother, and Lola, a nanny from the Philippines and veteran mother of five children. Claire just wants to make sure she is doing her best for her young son; Lola is earning money to finance her children's higher education. Set in L.A., Simpson explores how domestic workers are used as power symbols amongst the Hollywood elite, and the familial costs—on both sides of the equation—of the nanny industry.

Q: Cesium JavaScript Globe Setting Night Image I used to be able to set the night image to the centralBody, but that is no longer available in the latest version I downloaded - B26.
Is there an alternative to the previous:
centralBody.nightImageSource

Or increase the overall brightness to reduce the shadow opacity from the previous:
centralBody.dayNightBlendDelta

and
centralBody.nightIntensity

?

A: This feature was removed over a year ago (in b11) with pull request #348.  Currently, the only night shading supported by Cesium is via the centralBody.enableLighting property; for example if you're using the Viewer widget you can enable lighting withviewer.centralBody.enableLighting = true;.  That being said, the plan is to eventually put back similar capability.
You can read more at the linked pull request, but to summarize, the reason it was removed is because it was a major performance killer, not just in overall framerate but in shader compile and link time as well, which caused startup to be extremely slow.  Removing it also cleaned up the overall code tremendously.  We (the Cesium team) definitely plan on re-introducing this capability in the future, but using completely different techniques and fixing some of the usability issues with the old implementation (such as fading out nightlights when you zoom into the globe).  There's no timeline on when this will happen, but if any developers are interested in working on it, we are always looking for new contributors.

According to the 2016 Hypoglycemia Quality Collaborative Strategic Blueprint published by the Endocrine Society, patients and providers across the entire health care team lack the knowledge and tools to prevent and manage hypoglycemia – whether therapy-associated or spontaneous. Importantly, people with diabetes who suffer the worst outcomes are often lower socioeconomic status minorities who lack access to the system and have lower health literacy.
AADE joined other stakeholders to discuss and define clinically relevant outcomes beyond hemoglobin A1c in the Standardizing Clinically Meaningful Outcome Measures Beyond HbA1c for Type 1 Diabetes: A Consensus Report. This report provides a new evidence-based consensus definition of hypoglycemia, including levels of hypoglycemia and their related glycemic criteria. Additionally, signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia at each level are discussed.
AADE was also represented by Mary Julius, LD, CDE, RDN of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA at a key FDA event on mitigation of hypoglycemia, "Reducing the Risk of Preventable Adverse Drug Events associated with Hypoglycemia in the Older Population." A free CE webinar for healthcare providers based on the work of that group is listed below.
Conducted in November 2016, this is the third survey in a series of studies performed by AADE, designed to assess the impact of the DME Competitive Bidding program on beneficiary access to diabetes blood glucose test systems.Suppliers who were awarded contracts under the NMO recompete were surveyed. Results showed that the mix of brands of diabetes testing supplies carried by national mail order suppliers continues to decline, showing a nearly 50 percent reduction since it was first implemented in 2009.
As technical assistance for the Together on Diabetes initiative funded by the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, AADE requested a DSME cost-sharing white paper from the Harvard Law School. The white paper, Reconsidering Cost-Sharing For Diabetes Self-Management Education: Recommendation For Policy Reform, draws the conclusion that insurers should provide coverage of DSME with little or no cost-sharing in order to both improve patient health and curb costs.
In the fall of 2014 members of the American Association of Diabetes Educators conducted a study to assess the performance of the competitive bidding program (CBP) for insulin pumps and replacement supplies, and Medicare beneficiary access to insulin pumps and related supplies in competitive bidding areas. The results of this study found that many contract suppliers in each of the competitive bidding areas (CBAs) do not carry insulin pumps and/or related supplies. Read the complete study.
Conducted in October 2014, an in-depth analysis of the 578 comments received by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on draft guidance for blood glucose monitoring systems for over-the-counter use and prescription point-of-care use. This analysis was conducted in order to gain an accurate representation of the true feedback provided to the FDA on this issues.
Conducted in November 2013, a survey by Harris Interactive explored the opinions of people in the U.S. who have diabetes and use blood glucose meters. The research was intended to examine their knowledge and experiences with blood glucose meters and its role in the proper management of their condition. Attached is the executive summary.
A follow-up to a study conducted in August 2011 where diabetes educators surveyed contract suppliers to determine the range of products offered and the accuracy of information supplied by CMS via its website, Medicare.gov. Through that study, AADE found that contract suppliers in Round 1 were not offering most of the products said to be offered on Medicare.gov, and most of the products available to Medicare beneficiaries before implementation of Round 1 were no longer available to through the Competitive Bidding Program. In September 2013, AADE repeated the study, seeking to determine the range of diabetes testing supplies offered by contract suppliers to Medicare beneficiaries. Attached is the executive summary. Read the complete study from August 2011.
On October 1, 2013, Health Insurance Marketplaces nationwide will begin open enrollment. AADE has developed a brochure for diabetes educators and their patients with information on healthcare changes created by the implementation of Health Insurance Marketplaces. This document includes basic information for Health Insurance Marketplaces, a summary of "essential health benefits" and what patients with diabetes can expect to change in their healthcare coverage.
Recent studies provide additional compelling evidence that DSMT programs, involving a health team approach that includes Credentialed Diabetes Educators, not only significantly reduces overall health costs but also improves health outcomes.
These findings support the critical need for Congress to enact legislation to include Credentialed Diabetes Educators as Medicare providers of DSMT, in order to enhance access to DSMT care that directly impacts diabetes health outcomes and saves money.
AADE can provide you with valuable information and fact sheets to help you communicate to your Members of Congress the need and justification for the Credentialed Diabetes Educator to be recognized as a Medicare DSMT provider.
Dobson DaVanzo & Associates, LLC (Dobson | DaVanzo) was commissioned by AADE to estimate the financial impact of implementing H.R. 2787 using the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) scoring methodology. The proposed legislation designates credentialed diabetes educators as Medicare providers of Diabetes Self-Management Training (DSMT). Currently, DSMT programs must be accredited, and operate as distinct entities within a facility, such as a hospital. The DSMT benefit is thought to be underutilized, and many individuals living with diabetes lack access to a DSMT program. Medicare recognition of qualified diabetes educators as DSMT providers would promote quality and better access to care for diabetes education. Read the complete study.

Q: How is nosetest's LazySuite supposed to be used? According to nosetest's API documentation, there is a LazySuite() class which is
class nose.suite.LazySuite(tests=())
A suite that may use a generator as its list of tests

However, I could not find any example how this test generator is supposed to look like. I tried to write one the way that one would use when yielding test cases to nosetest's test discovery and pass it to the LazySuite constructor as follows:
import nose
import nose.suite

data = [
        ['a', 'b', 'c'],
        ['1', '2', '3']
]

def check_data_list(data_list):
    assert data_list[0] == 'a'

def test_generator():
    for data_list in data:
        yield check_data_list, data_list

if __name__ == '__main__':

    suite = nose.suite.LazySuite(tests=test_generator())
    nose.run(suite=suite)

This, however, fails with
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test-with-nose.py", line 43, in <module>
    nose.run(suite=suite)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/nose/core.py", line 301, in run
    return TestProgram(*arg, **kw).success
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/nose/core.py", line 121, in __init__
    **extra_args)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/unittest/main.py", line 94, in __init__
    self.runTests()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/nose/core.py", line 207, in runTests
    result = self.testRunner.run(self.test)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/nose/core.py", line 62, in run
    test(result)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/nose/suite.py", line 178, in __call__
    return self.run(*arg, **kw)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/nose/suite.py", line 225, in run
    test(orig)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/unittest/suite.py", line 84, in __call__
    return self.run(*args, **kwds)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/nose/suite.py", line 76, in run
    test(result)
TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable

What is the generator for creating an instance of the LazySuite class supposed to look like instead?

A: Alright, I am not sure whether this is the only and correct way since I do not see it officially documented anywhere but it works when involving the TestLoader class and its loadTestsFromGenerator() method. This method gets passed a generator function which yields one or more of the (test_function, other_args, ...) tuples which I already mentioned in the question.
Full example (print statements are only for easier following of what is going on):
import nose
import nose.suite
import itertools
from nose.loader import TestLoader

data = [
        ['a', 'b', 'c'],
        ['1', '2', '3']
]

def first_check(row):
    print('Running first check on row: {0}'.format(row))
    assert row[0] is not None

def second_check(row):
    print('Running second check on row: {0}'.format(row))
    assert row[1] is not None

def test_generator():
    for row in data:
        yield first_check, row
        yield second_check, row

if __name__ == '__main__':
    all_tests = TestLoader().loadTestsFromGenerator(test_generator, 'test-with-nose')
    suite = nose.suite.LazySuite(all_tests)
    nose.main(suite=suite)

Running this with the --nocapture option (otherwise the prints will be hidden) gives:
Running first check on row: ['a', 'b', 'c']
.Running second check on row: ['a', 'b', 'c']
.Running first check on row: ['1', '2', '3']
.Running second check on row: ['1', '2', '3']
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.002s

OK

Doing this for a large amount of to be tested rows (e.g. by yielding them from a csv reader instead of a nested list) is not really fast, however, it keeps the memory consumption low as only one combination out of row and test should be loaded in memory at the same time.
edit: This still keeps eating my precious memory when I execute the script for a very large generator (e.g. csv file with millions of rows), slowly but constantly. Could that be because the test results are still stored somewhere internally until all tests have been run?

A call to action to keep SA's religious rainbow intact
Lee-Shae Salma Scharnick-Udemans
In matters relating to religion, the myth of the rainbow nation persists, concealing dangerous and increasing intolerance towards religious differences.
For about 100 years the Islamic call to prayer has sounded from the Zeenatul Islam Mosque in Muir Street, District Six, Cape Town, five times a day. This past week, for the first time in its history, the mosque was issued with an official complaint that characterised the sacred sound as a noise nuisance.
South Africa has been widely lauded for the plurality of its religious landscape and the peaceful coexistence associated with this diversity. For the most part, people of different religious persuasions live side by side in varying degrees of harmony. Yet, these master narratives of peaceful religious coexistence both within and between religious groups, the state, and other actors that have dictated the image of religious diversity in South Africa obscure the very real and rising tensions and conflicts between and towards religious communities.
For the most part, the expiration date of the "rainbow nation" myth has been noted and accepted. Rainbowism has been thanked for its strategic utility at a crucial juncture in this country's history, critiqued at length, and in the fervour of the decolonial turn in scholarship, abandoned in favour of a more nuanced exploration of the politics, poetics, meaning and management of difference in this still ever-new South Africa.
But in matters relating to religion, the myth of the rainbow nation persists, concealing dangerous and increasing intolerance towards religious differences.
Within the context of the mythical rainbow nation, where the constitutional precept of freedom of religion is wielded like a trident, enforcing justice and peace, the noise complaints against the azaan from the Zeenatul Islam Mosque have been met with shock. Some members of the public have characterised the complaints as ridiculous; others have called for greater tolerance to be shown to religious and cultural expression.
In one news report the complaint was minimised as "one grumble" in the 100-year history of the mosque. But we would be gravely remiss to underplay the seriousness of one complaint. Without first critically engaging with what appears to be a subtle yet sustained increase in the presence of thinly veiled anti-Islamic sentiments in South African public life, it would be reckless to allow the attention it is receiving to fade into the social media abyss, or to assign the responsibility of this passive-aggressive act of intolerance to the hubris of a lone individual.
Allow me to offer but one example of what I believe is becoming a disturbing tendency. A few years ago Christian consumers complained about the halaal symbol on hot cross buns. In response, citizens of various religious and secular persuasions expressed shock, and others called it ridiculous — there is nothing inherently Christian or biblical about this decidedly delicious pastry. In the end, Woolworths still offered a non-halaal option and every year at around Easter, we revive the story and share it like an urban legend, just slightly too ridiculous to be true and therefore nothing to be concerned about.
Today there is an organised campaign that advocates against the ubiquity of the halaal symbol on food goods in South Africa. The Christian Friendly Products movement has also developed its own counter-halaal food symbol and claims that it cannot be displayed side-by-side with the halaal symbol. This separatist food policy is echoed in the group's views on Islam and the place of Muslims in South Africa.
Even more chilling are the numerous, overtly Islamophobic and explicitly hateful claims that are being made. As one piece of campaign material, easily downloaded from the internet, reads: "It may not be too far-fetched to assume that some of the South African 'halaal money' has already been used to finance terrorist organisations such as Hamas and Isis's [Islamic State's] unholy war against Christians and Jews. Using halaal money for terrorising and persecuting Christians in our own country may even become a reality much sooner than we may expect."
These are worrisome accusations, not only because of their unsubstantiated, outlandish claims, but because of the fear-mongering they attempt to elicit. By no means does the Christian Friendly Products campaign represent all Christians, or even large numbers of Christians. Yet, as history has repeatedly taught us, numerical strength is but a crude indicator of support for a cause.
Riding on the back of the Zeenatul Islam Mosque issue are calls for greater tolerance, a return to the honeymoon phase of democracy and an invitation to follow the rainbow once more. Twenty-five years ago, it was easier to be optimistic that the monster was slain. We were free, and the possibilities were endless. A quarter of a century later, these calls for tolerance appear trite and futile.
In committing to an attitude of tolerance, we commit to exercising our ability and displaying our willingness to tolerate the existence of opinions or behaviours that we don't necessarily like or agree with. Tolerance, however, is just the public face of intolerance. It is worn in polite company, but can be disregarded at a whim and frazzled by a perceived infraction or inconvenience, however minor.
Tolerance requires little engagement with or understanding of that which one has decided or been instructed to tolerate. Tolerance extends only so far as the tolerated does not offend my sensibilities and sensitivities too much.Tolerance, particularly when exercised by the powerful and the wealthy, carries the stench of unearned privilege.
I would argue that concepts such as understanding, appreciation and respect more accurately define the attitudes we need to cultivate in response to religious diversity.
In the midst of a crisis, hope springs eternal, and the defence of the Zeenutal Islam Mosque from individuals and communities across the religious spectrum has been heartening. It's a clear and unconditional display of inter-religious solidarity. I am certain that in this case justice will prevail and the city will ensure that the mosque is able to carry out its activities without restriction.
To consider a law-based intervention a victory would be to tolerate the rainbow until the arrival of the next, perhaps even greater storm. The call to prayer has ironically and patronisingly elicited a call for tolerance. The storm over the azaan calls us to consider the precariousness of the religious rainbow.

New Delhi: After two years of hard work, Vishal Mehta, an ex employee of Amazon.com, launched the Infibeam Pi, an e-reader that looks like the Amazon Kindle. It has the same e-Ink screen that the Kindle sports, reports Sruthijith KK of The Economic Times.
Mehta, who is having an engineering degree from Cornell and an MBA from MIT-Sloan, worked in Amozon.com for five years and was a Senior Manager at the company in 2007. To start his own online retail venture, Mehta quit his job, sold his house and his car.
The Infibeam Pi, which is priced at Rs.10,000, can be ordered online now and is likely to be shipped in February, is priced at Rs. 10,000. The Amazon Kindle, when shipped to India, costs about Rs.18,000. The Pi supports 13 Indian languages. Infibeam.com, an online retailer that sells everything from flowers to jewellery to books to electronic goods, has more than one lakh ebooks.
Mehta said, "It's pointless in India, there is no 3G. When we have wireless connectivity, we probably won't restrict what users can browse. Our essential philosophy is to be as open as possible."
The Pi has also a micro USB port to connect to a PC. Users will just be needed to create an account with Infibeam.com, register the device and then download the ebooks. The ebooks can be read on the PC as well as on the Pi. The ebooks typically cost 5-20 percent less than the hard copy versions, but in some cases, especially with bestsellers, digital rights are expensive and it's cheaper to buy the physical books. With the help of Pi, users will be able to read any documents documents (word or pdf, for instance). "A test prep firm can load their proprietary content on this device and give it to students, without worrying that the material will get passed around," said Mehta.
The company plans to sell about 10,000 devices in the first few months. The company has started accepting pre-orders on the website and is motivated by the initial response.

PNB Scam: Nirav Modi to be Arrested Soon as London's Westminster Court Issues Warrant Against Fugitive Diamantaire
PNB Scam: Nirav Modi faces an arrest warrant from London's Westminster court. The absconding jeweller would be produced before the bench on March 25.
By India.com News Desk Email
New Delhi: London's Westminster court on Monday issued an arrest warrant against fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi, a key accused in the multi-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case, who was tracked down in the UK city weeks ago. As per reports, Nirav Modi would be produced before the court on March 25 and he might be arrested in coming days.
The action against the absconding jeweller was initiated after India's law enforcement agency–Enforcement Directorate– sent a plea to the UK Home Office, seeking provisional arrest of Nirav Modi. Notably, a provisional arrest warrant is required to initiate a formal extradition process. (Also Read: No Response From India When UK Sought Documents to Arrest Nirav Modi, Says Report)
Modi will be subsequently brought before the court to secure bail and the legal proceedings for his extradition will begin thereafter, they said.
This development comes days after Nirav Modi was tracked down to London's West End where he has reportedly begun a new diamond business. According to a video and interview published by The UK Daily Telegraph, the fugitive diamantaire is currently residing in an £8 million flat near Oxford Street, London. Modi started his new diamond business, nearby his luxury apartment, in May 2018. "Nirav Modi appears to have adopted a surprisingly nonchalant attitude to his fugitive status, walking his small dog each day between his apartment and the diamond company's office in a townhouse in Soho, just a few hundred yards from his Centre Point home,"a report by The Telegraph claimed.
The 48-year-old bank fraud fugitive who faces an Interpol red corner notice is currently subject of an extradition request by India. In August 2018, the Indian government had forwarded the requests from the CBI and Enforcement Directorate to the UK authorities seeking the extradition of Nirav Modi. According to a report by the Times of India, top sources revealed that Nirav Modi had allegedly undergone plastic surgery in London in order to escape extradition.
The ED and the CBI are investigating Modi, his uncle Mehul Choksi and others for alleged money laundering and corruption to perpetrate the alleged scam in the Brady House branch of PNB in Mumbai, that was unearthed last year. It has also attached his assets worth Rs 1,873.08 crore under the PMLA and has seized assets linked to him and his family worth Rs 489.75 crore.

The French telecommunications regulator is examining ways to relax the rules governing wireless LANs (Local Area Networks), following public consultation on use of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands.
The Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications (ART) will work with the French armed forces, which still control much of the 2.4GHz frequency band, and the radio regulator, the Agence Nationale des Fréquences, to find a way to remove some of the regulations on the use of these bands.
Although these frequencies are available for unlicensed use in many countries, France imposes more stringent regulations on transmissions at these frequencies than its neighbours. Among other restrictions, it requires that transmitters be used indoors solely for local or independent networks, and that their transmissions not spill over into public spaces, ART noted in a report on the findings of the public consultation.
These restrictions, which were set out in an agreement between ART and the French Ministry of Defense in January 2001, make it difficult for carriers to set up public Internet access networks using technologies such as IEEE 802.11b (AirPort). Before that agreement was reached, each transmitter had to be individually registered and licensed. In 2004, however, a further relaxation of the rules is planned, allowing output powers of up to 100 milliwatts indoors, and 10 milliwatts outdoors.
Wireless not open to all The 2.4GHz band is a shared resource, open to anyone prepared to stick to the guidelines set down by ART, and is commonly used by Bluetooth, Home RF, and WiFi/AirPort devices, and by France's armed forces.
ART received 73 responses from the public, split equally between the industry (network operators, equipment manufacturers, systems integrators and consultants), and users (individuals, associations, local authorities, and companies).
Many of the respondents called for the right to use wireless LAN technology to offer Internet access in heavily trafficked areas such as stations, airports and hotels, ART said in a summary of the responses – with many respondents also calling for the removal of transmission power restrictions both indoors and outdoors.
While committing to examine the regulatory and technical implications of relaxing the regulations for these shared frequency bands, ART pointed out that nothing could happen without the consent of the armed forces, which are still heavy users of this part of the radio spectrum.

I've spent the last couple of days attending a Chant workshop in London, led by Dom Yves-Marie Lelièvre, Choirmaster at the Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Solesmes, France. For those not familiar with the Chant scene, Solesmes has been the fountainhead of the scholarship and practice of the chant revival since the late 19th Century. Today they are engaged in producing new editions of chant for the Benedictine Office, and Dom Lelièvre was able to pass on to us a flavour of the interpretation of chant now favoured there, based directly on close attention to manuscripts going back more than a thousand years.
It was a tremendous event, and a great opportunity to meet other singers. I've written more about it here.
