De metabaronnen is een sciencefictionstripreeks waarvan de verhalen zich afspelen in hetzelfde universum als de Incal en waarin de geschiedenis van een familie, de metabaronnen centraal staat. De reeks is geschreven door Alejandro Jodorowsky en getekend door Juan Giménez. In het Nederlandse taalgebied werd de serie gepubliceerd tussen 1992 en 2012 door uitgeverij Arboris.

Achtergrond
De reeks speelt zich af in een verre toekomst waar veel chaos heerst en waar verschillende facties om de macht strijden in een eeuwigdurend gevecht. De macht ligt in de handen van een familie van zeer machtige keizers, die op een planeet in goud leven. De metabaronnen hebben dezelfde afkomst en worden beschouwd als de meest krachtige strijders in het universum.

Het verhaal gaat over de robots Tonto en Lothar die in dienst zijn van de huidige metabaron "Zondernaam". Zij wachten op zijn terugkeer in de meta-bunker (een soort van reusachtige vliegende vesting). Lothar, die een erg kinderlijke persoonlijkheid heeft, verveelt zich stijf en wil dat Tonto hem het verhaal vertelt van de kaste van hun meester omdat zijn geheugen is gewist.

Het verhaal dat Tonto vertelt, loopt gedurende bijna de hele serie. Steeds worden flashbacks afgewisseld met scènes in het nu, waarbij Lothar voortduren Tonto pest en beledigt. Elke generatie heeft zijn metabaron en de traditie wil dat elke zoon sterker is dan zijn vader, dat is de reden waarom op de leeftijd van zestien de zoon een tweegevecht voert met zijn vader en over hem hoort te zegevieren door deze te doden.

Every six months a member state of the European Union (EU) holds the Presidency and presides over the work of the Council of the EU. During this time the state holding the Presidency plays host to the majority of the Union's events and plays a key role in the activities of the EU. It is responsible for organising EU meetings, setting the Union's political agenda and ensuring its development, integration and security.
The national rotating presidencies of the EU are divided into groups of three - Trios. Trios ensure consistency in the work of the Council over an 18-month period.
The Netherlands, Slovakia and Malta constitute the Presidency Trio for the 18-month period from 1st January 2016 to 30 June 2017. The programme and priorities for the 18 months build on the work successfully brought forward by the coountries in the preceding trio - Italy, Latvia and Luxembourg.

Barrett's esophagus is a precancerous condition that develops at the junction of the esophagus and stomach. The change in cellular composition of the lining of the esophagus results from a chronic exposure to refluxing gastric contents (gastroesophageal reflux disease). BÂRRX Medical, Inc. is reporting positive results of four studies evaluating the safety, dosage response, and efficacy of treating Barrett's esophagus with its Halo360 system.
The BÂRRX Medical Halo360 system provides uniform and controlled ablative therapy at a consistent depth to remove the layer of the diseased esophageal tissue allowing replacement by normal cells. The procedure, which in clinical studies had a median procedure time of 26 minutes, is performed without incisions using conscious sedation in an out-patient setting. First, a physician uses a Halo360 sizing balloon catheter to dilate the esophagus and determine its inner diameter. A correctly sized ablation catheter is then inflated within the diseased area of the esophagus. The Halo360 energy generator is activated to deliver a rapid (less than one second) burst of ablative energy, which removes a very thin (less than one millimeter) layer of the diseased esophagus. Controlled delivery of energy avoids injury to normal, healthy underlying tissues. New healthy tissue replaces the ablated Barrett's tissue in three to four weeks for most patients, according to trial results. Minor discomfort, which may be experienced by some patients, has been managed in the trials with medication. Following ablation therapy, patients resume acid suppression therapy.
And here is the latest related research from the University of Oxford: Researchers discover genetic trigger that plays a key role in cancer of the oesophagus.

A region in the western Caucasus, south of Russia and north of Turkey. Long under Turkish influence, the region of Georgia was conquered by Russia during 1810-78. In May 1918, following the withdrawal of German forces that had occupied the area during World War I, Georgia declared its independence. Georgia was recognized by the League of Nations, but on Feb. 25, 1921, it was occupied by Soviet forces. The Georgian Soviet Republic was merged into the Transcaucasian Federation of Soviet Republics in March 1922, and issues of the federation replaced those of Georgia on Oct. 1, 1923. Georgian nationalist sentiment remained strong under Soviet rule, provoking repression and massive purges after 1972. Despite this, illegal private enterprise and nationalism remained potent forces and brought further Soviet attempts at repression in 1989. Georgia declared its independence in April 1991. Its recent history has been marked by civil war during 1991-92 and by a rebellion in the province of Abkhazia, on the Black Sea. Supported by Russia, Abkhazia became autonomous in 1994.

Marikiscrycrycry's He's Dead as part of Now 20 at The Yard

Marikiscrycrycry, He's dead, The Yard, February 8
Blue Makwana, Eve Stainton, Malik Nashad Sharpe and Gareth Chambers (photo: Elise Rose)
The predominant sensation of Marikiscrycrycry's He's Dead, presented as part of Now 20 festival at The Yard, is a density created not only by Jon Cleveland's thick, blue haze through which we see the choreographed images but by the difficulty in teasing out the motif from its ground. Malik Nashad Sharpe is a cult figure in black/queer theatre where the body signifies both the subject and object of performance; joining them at The Yard in this blend of performance art and dance theatre are Gareth Chambers, Blue Makwana and Eve Stainton, all in Mia Maxwell's fantastical costumes.
He's Dead is nominally about the rapper Tupac Shakur, aka 2Pac, widely respected for his stand on fighting inequality and discrimination, who was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles at the age of 25. Sharpe looks at the narrative of Shakur's life and asks if he might have been depressed. 'I think he was, and that isn't a large part of the narrative behind his aesthetics and his work', Sharpe explains to Thomas Stichbury in a recent Attitude magazine interview, 'and I am curious about what that means to someone like me. I want to tease out and materialize a black aesthetics of melancholia and experimentation that allows for the humanity of the things I might feel, and on terms that are not fatal or voyeuristic.' Sharpe's form of theatre draws oppression towards them so they can transform it into a complex aesthetic of racial and gender vulnerability that allows them to question their own state of mind as a 'shy, ambivalent, black femme choreographer'. In one of the more symbolic moments of He's Dead, a banner with Zeinab Saleh's portrait of Shakur painted on it is unfurled with Sharpe and Makwana as flag waivers on either side; it is an act of funerary veneration and at the same time one of transference from activist to medium.
Violence is never far from the surface of He's Dead; its course travels between racial and gender discrimination, united in Sharpe's body and those of their colleagues. In a scene where Chambers lands several punches on Sharpe's defenceless body stretched up against the back wall there's a suggestion of masochistic pleasure, followed by a fight in which a victorious Sharpe deposits Chambers' body on the front of the stage. At the same time, Sharpe looks beyond violence to its resolution. In one of the most moving scenes, we see them muffled in a cloak with a light inside their cowl searching slowly and silently among bodies on the stage, an illuminated face searching for guidance from the dead. It's as if somewhere deep in the haunting shadows lurk the figures not only of Tupac but of Yukio Mishima and Jean Genet. Soon after Sharpe shares a ritual cleansing with Makwana that has the sense of religious atonement.
In their desire to confer humanity on their own identity as black and queer, Sharpe creates a rich, almost mystical imagery that corresponds with the sound design of JONI, Joanna Pope, and ¥ummy Online; within this conceptual audio-visual space a dialectic between violence and forbearance is played out in real time. In the initial mix of hard-hitting rap songs, it's as if we are hearing the music in Sharpe's head — and perhaps in Shakur's too; the songs are both the context and the narrative of racial discrimination. But as the work progresses, and the body becomes the context and narrative of gender discrimination, the music subtly changes to give colour and texture to Sharpe's emotional journey; when they begin to sing before the ritual cleansing, music and the physical body merge. Sharpe comments to Stichbury in the same interview that they use an alter-ego 'to perfect the practice of crying in front of people, little wails and shouts for one alienated motherfucker — wanting to be seen as human and more and not knowing why.' Crying is a sign of humanity, of our awareness of beauty and of fragility, but it is too often the abrupt effect of violence, which smothers both. Allowing themself to cry is Sharpe's defence against the ever-present possibility of violence, but in the creation of He's Dead they raise the act of crying to a polemical confrontation without its maudlin connotation. As the publicity material states, 'He's Dead sheds tears for the things that we cannot unearth.' The long silence after the performers have left the stage is perhaps an unconscious acknowledgement of what still lies beyond our reach.

Qld Container Refund Scheme - Delay
Posted by Kellie Lindsay on February 22, 2018
The Queensland Government has extended the timeframe for the introduction of the state's container refund scheme from 1 July to 1 November 2018.
The date was changed to respond to stakeholders who were keen to ensure the Queensland scheme leveraged the lessons learned from the rollout of the New South Wales scheme late last year.
The Queensland Government and Container Exchange (CoEx)—which has been appointed by the Queensland Government as the scheme's Product Responsibility Organisation (PRO)—want it to be the best scheme in Australia.
The delay will allow time for the PRO to get a critical amount of refund points in place, the communications strategy rolled out, and for the community infrastructure grants program to take effect.
CoEx will be governed by a Board of nine directors, made up of beverage industry and independent representation, and including an independent chair.
As the scheme's PRO, CoEx will work with the government to ensure the scheme is a success, and that it remains efficient and delivers positive outcomes for the public, community groups and the environment.
For more information about the scheme visit the Queensland Government website.
Note: The Plastic Bag Ban remains scheduled for introduction on 1 July 2018.

Minister for Environment and the Great Barrier Reef, Minister for Science and Minister for the Arts
The Honourable Leeanne Enoch
Industry-backed extension will ensure Container Refund Scheme is right for Queensland
Extending the timeframe for the introduction of the state's Container Refund Scheme will ensure the scheme is right for Queensland, Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch said today.
Originally due to start 1 July this year, the scheme will now commence 1 November 2018.
"It's important we get the scheme right from day one so that its full community, environmental and recycling benefits are realised," Ms Enoch said.
"Extending the timeframe for the scheme's introduction was requested by stakeholders to ensure Queensland did not run into the same roll-out issues experienced in New South Wales when its scheme started 1 December last year.
"While our scheme is not run along the same lines as that in New South Wales, it's clear there are valuable lessons to be learned from the problematic introduction of their scheme.
"These include ensuring there are enough container refund points from the outset, so people have the ability to get the 10c refund.
"We know Queenslanders want a container refund scheme and we have industry and community support for it. We also recognise it takes time and effort to ensure this is done efficiently and effectively."
Legislation to extend the start date of the Container Refund Scheme will be introduced into State Parliament tomorrow.
Waste Recycling Industry Association Queensland CEO Rick Ralph said the new timeframe would give industry time to establish the right systems and make investments to ensure the scheme was accessible to all Queenslanders from the beginning.
"Queensland's complex demographics, coupled with recent changes in terms of markets for recovered products globally, prove the decision is right and important in making the program the very best it can be," Mr Ralph said.
Ms Enoch said a new not-for-profit company Container Exchange (CoEx) has been appointed as the product responsibility organisation (PRO) to administer and run Queensland's container refund scheme.
CoEx will be governed by a board of nine directors, made up of beverage industry and independent representation, and will include an independent chair.
As the PRO, CoEx will work with the government to ensure the scheme is a success, and that it remains efficient and delivers positive outcomes for the public, community groups and the environment.
"I am pleased that two of our largest beverage manufacturers – Coca-Cola Amatil and Lion – are involved in CoEx," Ms Enoch said.
"This is fitting as these entities represent around half of the beverage brands on the Queensland market.
"This approach has the support of environment and community groups, as well as the beverage sector, and will provide balance, transparency and equity in how CoEx and the scheme itself is run."
Ms Enoch said CoEx was required to ensure an adequate number of container refund points were in place when the scheme started so its benefits would be available across Queensland.
"We're looking to have more than 200 refund points across Queensland ready to operate by 1 November this year, and CoEx will ensure they are located where as many people as possible in our de-centralised state can access them.
"CoEx has already started this process by putting a request for proposal into the market, seeking interest from individuals and organisations that want to run container refund points.
"CoEx will also work to ensure the scheme's running costs are minimised, with as small an impact as possible on the beverage industry and the community.
"As we move towards the scheme's 1 November start date, the public will be kept informed of container refund point locations and other relevant information through public information sessions, industry workshops, media announcements and online content."
The refund scheme will see most drink containers between 150ml and 3L eligible for a 10 cent refund, although some containers are exempt.
Information on the scheme, including eligible containers, is available via the Queensland Government website.
Interested individuals, community groups and other organisations wanting to receive information on the request for proposal to set up container refund points should register through tenders@containerexchange.com.au before 5 March 2018.

Sombrerería Obach
Sombrerería Obach, Barcelona. Another Ilford Delta 400 push-processing example, at EI 1600 in ID-11. It is very much easier to loose shadow detail with these night shots, partly because the M7's metering tends to err on the under-exposure side when there are bright lights present, and partly because the available dynamic range of the film is being compressed somewhat by the push-processing. Would be interesting to compare this with some images shot with Delta 3200 at EI 1600, which should have tighter grain and a bit more exposure latitude.

This portrait is the result of recordings arranged outside the usual documentary work of the Memory of Nations' collection. The authors of these recordings are primary and secondary school students, volunteers, or members of the general public. More detailed information about the specific project can be found below on the witness's card.
Torture at the Prague Gestapo after arrest
"So they dragged me away from the wall and two guys stepped behind my back. One of them held a rubber truncheon in his hand, a sort-of a stick for beating people. The other one had a piece of rope. They ordered me to bend over and then the beating started. Blows rained down on me from all sides. I have no idea how many times they struck me before I began to acoustically express myself. But then I thought to myself I would not let them derive any pleasure from the beating so I tried to keep it down as much as possible. Then they hogtied me which means that you had to bend over, put your arms behind your knees and they would handcuff you in this position. At first I thought: 'that's not too bad'. But after a while, the blood from your legs drains away and you start losing your balance. You're barely able to continue standing on your feet and you are in risk of falling down. You also sweat and the sweat drops down on the floor. The Gestapo man would come and tell me: 'that's nothing, it has to become a sea of sweat'. I began to sway like in a pendulum. I figured whether my head would hit the sink or the closet when I fall down. Finally, the Gestapo man came and unlocked the handcuffs. Then the real pain began. It hurts like hell when your heart pumps the blood back into your legs. It's as if a thousand tiny needles dipped into your flesh. So that really was a very special experience."
About the work in Theresienstadt
"They were using a lot of concrete there, a lot of construction was going on. They herded us on that site but didn't tell us what to do. I just stood and stared there which is always dangerous for an inmate. So I asked the elders what to do. They told me to get a plank and to run from point A to point B with that plank as quickly as I could. It had to look like someone is in great need of that plank right at that moment. Then, when nobody was looking, I was supposed to take a rest and then to repeat this over and over again. So for the next few days, I'd run around like a madman with a plank."
About an incursion of an SS unit at a Scout camp in 1940
"I told these Scouts to give the Germans some tea if it got cold. One of the SS man finished his tea and asked whose mess tin it was. The boy who owned the mess tin was 15 years old and later on in the war, he became a pilot. He was a great guy. He said: 'mine'. The SS man looked inside the mess tin and complained that the mess tin was dirty. 'So go and wash it!', said the boy. I froze and waited for things to happen. The boy took the mess tin from the German and while he was firmly looking into his eyes, he threw it into the pond in a scorning manner. I had no idea what the German would do. He could have beaten him up or even shoot him. But he was apparently so perplexed that he didn't do anything."

František Wretzl, called Baron by his Scout nick name, was born at the dawn of the First Czechoslovak Republic in 1919. In the 1930s, he joined the Catholic Scout troop "Legio Angelica" of Pater Metod Klement". In the autumn of 1938, he actively supported and aided Bohemian refugees fleeing from the Sudetenland. During the war, he got involved in the resistance movement being a member of the revolutionary Scout troops. For his resistance activities in the Scout, he was arrested by the Gestapo and interrogated for a month in the infamous so-called "pečkárna" (the Petschek Palace, which became the headquarters of the Prague Gestapo – note by the translator). Since August 1944 till April 1945, he was held imprisoned in Theresienstadt, later in Flossenbürg and Lengenfeld. He managed to escape from a death march and took part in the Prague uprising. After the war, he worked in foreign trade and packaging technologies. Currently, he's a member of the Svojsík troop of honor.

GCSE pupils get 'shirty' as Morpeth School prepares for graduations
Published: 7:00 AM May 22, 2015 Updated: 8:41 AM October 14, 2020
Putting their backs into it - Credit: Morpeth Secondary
What happens when teenagers in London's East End break up from school for the half-term in the middle of taking their GCSEs before graduation? They sign each other's shirts!
That's what 230 Year-11 pupils at Bethnal Green's Morpeth School did when they took part in a mass-signing of school shirts, marking the beginning of the countdown to their graduation.
The pupils, who are mid-way through taking their exams, took a break to sign their farewells on friends' shirts at lunchtime yesterday.
"Shirt signing is a rite of passage that's very much part of school culture," Headteacher Jemima Reilly explained.
"Fortunately we have the space for all pupils to come together in one place, to write their messages and share their memories.
"It's a touching experience, and we were lucky it turned out to be a gloriously sunny afternoon for the mass-signing to take place outside."
Her pupils officially leave when their exams are over—so it was almost a last chance for the 16-year-olds to put their markers on their pals' shirts as a momento.
Most were quite emotional, like Khalid who said: "I'm not going to see the friends anymore that I've known for four or five years. I'm going to keep my shirt and frame it."
Classmate Zannatul said: "It's so sad—I've had these friends for five years. I'll also miss my teachers.
"I'm going to put my shirt with the rest of my uniform away in a cupboard."
Another, Naseem, added ruefully: "I'll miss everyone here—I'm going to hang my shirt on the wall."
Morpeth's official Friday graduation ceremony is on June 19.
And what of 'the great unwashed'? No word yet from mums about the teenagers storing the unwashed shirts in their bedroom.


Many people love the squat, once they have got the correct squat form.
Squats are an exercise that can increase athleticism as they provide the body with many benefits and help to build muscle.
Squats build the leg muscles, hamstrings, quads and calves. They also work the thighs, hips and the buttocks.
They help to build both upper body and lower body strength.
They are known as an explosive exercise that helps to build power and strength.
They are also good for coordination and endurance. It's fair to say the squat has many health benefits.
But, do you have to squat in order to build your leg muscles? Will avoiding squats hinder your progress?
Some people walk into the gym and head straight for the weights.
Whereas, others head for a cardio machine or a mat to do some stretches and a warm-up before lifting.
A question we have been asked many times is what is a good way to warm-up before lifting?
And, is it essential to warm-up before lifting?
A warm-up holds many benefits before a workout session, depending on what kind of workout you are going for will depend on the type of warm-up you need to do.
Find out the importance of a warm-up here and the best warm-up to do before lifting.
We are going to break it down for you.
The warm-up should gently get the body ready for exercise by gradually increasing the heart rate and circulation. Joints will be loosened and blood flow increased to the muscles.
Stretching muscles can help to prepare them for the exercise and prevent injuries.
Warming up, stretching and cooling down are all essential but are often overlooked. All three are very basic in terms of training.
Warming up has many positive physical and mental benefits, it will help bodybuilders as their strength and focus should peak.
Warming up before physical activity has many benefits.
It not only prepares your body for the strenuous activity it is going to encounter, but it prepares your mind too.
It helps your body's core temperature to increase, as well as the body's muscle temperature.
Your body will be prepared for exercise as you have increased your heart rate and respiratory rate.
Not only this, but your blood flow will increase which in turn, promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles being worked.
Your muscles and joints become loosened, which helps them to benefit from the increased blood flow.
So, a warm-up helps to prepare the body, muscles and tendons for more strenuous activity.
You want to start with the easiest and lightest activity first, building each part with more energetic activities.
Cardio is perfect for warming up, around 10-20 minutes of light activity (enough to get sweat on the brow!) is ideal.
Something to get your heart rate up and your body warm.
Any type of cardio is fine, as long as you get your body moving.
After cardio, it would be perfect to stretch, loosen the muscles to help with lifting.
Stretching is ideal to avoid injuries and risk of strains.
Other ways to warm-up can involve light weights, so you could do medicine ball throws.
The ideal way to finish a warm-up is to feel warm and be sweating lightly.
There are two types of warm-ups, one for general activity and one for a specific sport.
If you are warming up for a specific sport you are playing then you want to focus on a warm-up that will get you ready for that sport.
For example, if you were running then a good way to warm-up would be with running drills.
The best way to warm-up should depend solely on what type of exercise you are going to be doing.
If you are going to be doing a HIIT session then you want to warm-up to the point where your body is ready for that.
So a longer, more intense warm-up would be suitable here.
If you were going to be doing light exercises then a light warm-up is absolutely fine here.
After exercise, a cool-down can help your body to recover.
They help to reduce the heart rate and stretch muscles. A cool-down is not far from a warm-up in terms of it being a lighter, slower paced exercise.
Your muscles are already warm from the exercise, stretching warm muscles helps to improve flexibility and range of motion.
Stretching is essential during a cool-down session as it increases blood flow your muscles and reduces muscle stiffness and soreness.
If you have been running, a good cool-down would be to slow down into a brisk walk, or from a brisk walk to a slow leisurely pace.
Cool-downs should typically last between 5-10 minutes, they should be followed by stretches targeted at muscle groups to help to relax the muscles.
Warm-ups and cool-downs don't really last long, but the benefits are huge if you incorporate them into your workout routines.
They help to prevent injuries and stretch muscles to help them relax.
They help for a speedy recovery on muscles and get your body ready.
We hope you will now incorporate both into your sessions, and we hope your body feels the benefits.
Remember to stretch before and after a workout to help relax those muscles.
The main focus for fitness fanatics used to be looking for the best way to work the abs and biceps.
Now, it's about the chest, or back.
Or any other body part or any combination thereof – depending on who you ask.
Back to the point at hand, though. The question today is, how to work out different parts of your pecs? And there is no single opinion here, there are plenty of opinions on this out there.
Most people have a more dominant arm or leg compared to the other.
Where they can either push out an extra few reps with one arm or lift a heavier weight on the opposing side.
This can be down to many factors such as if you have a manual job you may use one arm more than the other.
The strange thing is, in most cases, the non-dominant side of your body tends to be that little stronger.
Maybe, it is from overuse of the other side.
So, the question is, should you push both arms to failure, even if it means working one arm more than the other?
Which in turn means gaining more muscle and strength on one side.
We're going to discuss pushing opposing muscles to failure when one side is stronger than the other, and give you the best advice when weight lifting.
Does Cardio Before a Workout Kill Muscle Gain?
Many people do cardio before lifting weights, to warm up and get their body ready.
Some people just get straight into lifting.

New Jean-Georges Vongerichten Restaurant in Greenwich!
/ Food Guide, News / By Joselynn Chua
Michelin-starred Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten will debut his first restaurant in Connecticut in late Spring 2022. Located on the iconic Greenwich Avenue, Happy Monkey will showcase Latin cuisine with a Jean-Georges flair, enchanting guests with adventurous flavors and ever-changing, sustainable offerings served in a casual, fun atmosphere.
Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten
Admired for his acumen as a Michelin-starred chef, tastemaker, and businessman operating 40+ acclaimed restaurants around the globe, Jean-Georges has envisioned a convivial, contemporary restaurant and bar with Happy Monkey. The menu embraces the freshest, locally sourced, seasonal produce, featuring Latin influences across shareable snacks, small and large plates, crudos, salads, tacos and more.
"I'm thrilled to be a part of Greenwich's vibrant culinary scene, and have long eyed Connecticut as a prospective location. We've created something new and exciting that builds on our commitment to whole food and inventive fare yet offers the same level of tailored service you can expect at our restaurants. From a sophisticated evening out to a relaxed family dinner, Happy Monkey's elevated yet approachable feel makes it a go-to destination for any occasion."
Happy Monkey is in partnership with hospitality group Aurify Brands, which operates and cultivates leading brands including Le Pain Quotidien, Little Beet, Melt Shop, Fields Good Chicken, and Little Beet Table.
"We're excited to bring a taste of Jean-Georges to Connecticut. We designed this concept in collaboration with Jean-Georges and his incredible team to be a fun spot for the community to come together over food – a place that gives you a daily dose of happy, as its name implies."
Andy Stern, Aurify Brands Co-CEO
What's on the Menu at the New Jean-Georges Restaurant in Greenwich?
Guests can expect a combination of favorites from ABC Cocina – one of Vongerichten's NYC restaurants – like Arroz Con Pollo and a Grilled Maitake Mushroom, as well as inventive new dishes like Shrimp Tacos topped with spicy citrus peanut slaw and Marinated Whole Roasted Cauliflower served with sour cherry mole and warm tortillas. The dessert menu is comprised of sweet treats like a Cocoa Tres Leches Cake, a Strawberry Mango Crisp with macadamia coconut streusel, and rotating popsicle flavors. In addition to beer wine, sangria and hand-crafted cocktails, the beverage program features a margarita menu that will reflect the seasons. Non-alcoholic options include house-made sodas, juices and kombucha.
Who is the Executive Chef at the New Jean-Georges Restaurant- Happy Monkey?
Working alongside Jean-Georges once again is Executive Chef Ron Gallo, who most recently served as Executive Chef at the Inn at Pound Ridge by Jean-Georges in Pound Ridge, NY. Gallo was previously Chef de Cuisine at Vongerichten's Upper East Side restaurant, JoJo – a position he held for 13 years.
The Look and Feel of Chef Jean-Georges Restaurant- Happy Monkey
Art and design are just as central to the restaurant as the cuisine. Serving as a backdrop to the space is a prominent mural depicting famed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo along with her playful pet spider monkey – a nod to the restaurant's name. The art is by New York-based see.studios. Openshop, a New York-based strategy and design firm, collaborated with Jean-Georges' team on the design of Happy Monkey.
A long communal table stretches along the back of the dining room in front of the mural, offering a fun setting for celebrations or group outings, and a chic bar enhances the energy of the space. The restaurant is outfitted with moss green banquettes, black and white marble floors, rattan lights, and hanging plants that give it a lush feel. Cream Venetian plaster and brass accents create a warm and inviting vibe and select vintage decor adds an eclectic element.
Happy Monkey will open late Spring 2022 for dinner service Wednesday through Sunday, and will expand to offer brunch and lunch service this summer. Outdoor dining will also be available. Beginning later this month, reservations can be made on Resy or by calling the restaurant at (203) 405-5787. The restaurant is located at 376 Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830.

Donations help Napa quake victims save storage facility
By Michael Finney
NAPA, Calif. (KGO) -- It's been nearly a year since the powerful 6.0 earthquake badly damaged part of the Napa area. While many have recovered, hundreds of residents have been living all this time under a threat of even more destruction.
Some residents stored their precious belongings at Napa Self Storage, which was red-tagged in the Napa quake. The owners planned to bulldoze the building with everything in it unless the tenants came up with $170,000 to shore the building up. That seemed unfair and impossible, but now it looks like they will get their belongings back after all.

6.0 magnitude earthquake near American Canyon felt all over the Bay Area.
Most of Joan Clark's worldly belongings lie trapped inside the mangled storage building.
"I've got bedroom sets, all of my kitchen belongings are in there," said Clark.
Joan had sold her house and put everything in storage. After the quake she was told, she might never get it back.
Is retrofitting worth the cost?
"'The building can't be saved, and that it needs to be demolished,' and I said, 'What about our belongings?' 'They will be demolished along with the building.' I was angry, I was really angry!" explained Clark.
"When I heard that, I broke down in tears," said 13-year-old Alyssa Smith. She was devastated to find out a bulldozer might destroy everything her family stored at the facility. "Everything that I have to remember my great grandmother is in there. There's my great grandmother's piano that she gave to my brother, my baby blanket is in there."
Over 220 tenants found out their valuables are trapped inside building 900 at Napa Self Storage.
The city red-tagged the two-story structure after the quake because its steely shell buckled and the doors slanted like a funhouse. It was deemed too risky to even go inside.
Michael Finney and disaster relief experts answer quake-related questions
PHOTOS: Six months after South Napa Earthquake
Six months after a 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit the North Bay, businesses and residents are still cleaning up.
"If you want your belongings, this is how much money you're going to pay," said Clark.
The owners gave tenants a choice.
"It was an ultimatum. Either you pay or you don't get your things," said Frances Anamosa, a storage customer.
Tenants could pay a contractor to shore up the building and remove their belongings, or lose everything in a demolition.
The cost to repair it was $170,000, which would be about for each $1,700 each, but with no assurance their property is even intact.
"It doesn't seem fair at all that a renter has to be responsible for someone else's building," said Clark.
Tenants were told those who didn't pay would not be allowed to recover their goods.
Yet, some could not afford it, like customer Jessica Pequeno. She told 7 On Your Side, "They're holding it for ransom. That's what it feels like."
Soon after the quake, Pequeno found out her 2-year-old son has a rare immune disease and needs a bone marrow transplant. She had to quit her job, use the family savings and begin a frantic search for a donor.
"In a year, we've given up so much. We've given up our home, we gave up our furniture and now to be told there's a good chance we might not get our stuff out of storage? That's all that we really have left," said Pequeno.
When is it safe to go inside after a quake?
Still, she tried to scrape up her share of the cost to brace building No. 900.
"We were able to come up with $200 and that's nowhere near the full amount," she said.
Pequeno wasn't sure she would be entitled to her belongings and imagined her wedding dress, furniture and baby pictures rolling under a bulldozer.
Napa Self Storage pointed to the rental agreement, which says the owner is not responsible for any damage to stored property, from any cause whatsoever, including earthquakes.
Did you know that getting a good insurance settlement takes time?
Napa Self Storage said each tenant's share is about equal to what they would have paid in rent. The company contributed $39,000 toward the recovery costs.
The tenants held fundraisers, tapped their savings, and contributed what they could. Finally, with a $25,000 grant from the Napa Valley Community Foundation this summer, they reached the goal.
Tenants are now sure they will see their belongings, just not so sure if they are intact.
"I feel good knowing that we have a chance to get some of it out," said Smith.
"I'm confident that here's a light at the end of the tunnel," said Clark.
Another piece of good news is that tenants, who could not afford to pay their share, will still be able to get their items back thanks to donations that met the fundraising goal. Tenants will be notified when they can pick up their belongings. That is expected to happen in about eight weeks from now. 7 On Your Side will be there to show you hopefully the happy reunions.

The company said: "Napa Self Storage will have spent a full year with this recovery as our primary objective. The reward will be to see our tenants successfully reunited with their property.

Everyone grows at their own pace, and you shouldn't compare yourself to anyone.
There does seem to be a sense in which physics has gone beyond what human intuition can understand. We shouldn't be too surprised about that because we're evolved to understand things that move at a medium pace at a medium scale. We can't cope with the very tiny scale of quantum physics or the very large scale of relativity.
Biology is now accelerating at a pace faster than Moore's Law.
Pace, rhythm and timing. Pace, rhythm and timing is what it's about. The content's got to be great, but then it's got to be delivered. It's a tricky thing to do, and it takes a lot of work.
I like to pace onstage.
You have to pace yourself. As a producer, you start with a concept and shepherd it through the script to the delivery of the film. It's a very long journey for an hour and 40 minutes of movie.
The minute you're working with the government, you're dealing with bureaucracy, you're dealing with time lags, you're dealing with rigidity, you're dealing with a slow pace.
Propaganda requires a permanent network of communication so that it can systematically stifle reflection with emotive or utopian slogans. Its pace is usually fast.


Parador de Benavente - The seat of parliament in 1202, this Renaissance style castle was built by order of Fernando II de León and forms part of the former walled enclosure of the town. Practically razed to the ground in 1808 during the Peninsular War, it conserves the monumental Torre del Caracol, where there is a living room with an admirable Mudejar coffered ceiling. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, the interior contains classical decorative elements such as rugs, forged lamps, coffered ceilings, wood and Castilian bricks. Its spectacular living rooms are duly equipped to promote their functional value as spaces for social gatherings. The dreamy bedrooms are comfortable, and the restaurant offers the region's gastronomic array: 'arroz a la zamorana' (Zamora-style rice), 'dos y pingada' (fried dish) and the sweet 'rebojo zamorano'.
Parador de Zamora: 65 Km.
Parador de Leon: 70 Km.
Parador de Tordesillas: 82 Km.
Parador de Puebla de Sanabria: 84 Km.
Parador de Salamanca: 130 Km.
Parador de Villafranca del Bierzo: 147 Km.
Parador de Lerma: 180 Km.
Cervera de Pisuerga: 203 Km.
Holy Week Zamora, 65 km.
Santa Marta de Tera (32 km). Romanesque parish church.
Villafáfila (28 km). Lagoon Nature Reserve.
Benavente is a prominent town situated in the north of the capital. It was repopulated by King Fernando II, who also awarded it law-codes in the 12th century.
The most representative building in town is the Parador de Turismo Fernando II hotel, which occupies the Caracol Tower, a 16th-century castle with wide segmental miradors and a beautiful Mudejar coffered ceiling in the main section. But there are other attractions for the visitor, such as the church of Santa María de Azogue, in which the doors, some multicoloured Gothic sculptures and several pillars are very interesting; San Juan del Mercado, with its prominent southern door; and the hospital of La Piedad, an old pilgrims' hostel.

3D Models Bring Virtual Reality to the Property Sector
This article was originally published in Geomatics World.
Cityscape Digital is using Bluesky's photorealistic 3D mesh models to create live, interactive 3D environments to illustrate proposed city developments.
A specialist in computer-generated imagery (CGI) solutions for the property sector, Cityscape has already created a number of virtual reality (VR) experiences using aerial mapping company Bluesky MetroVista models, for clients including Canary Wharf Group and Greycoat Real Estate.
"Using the Bluesky MetroVista data, we can model proposed developments in their true context and produce a range of solutions from live, editable on-screen models to roamable walk-throughs and interactive fly-throughs. We can even create full VR experiences," commented Damian Fennell, managing director of Cityscape Digital, a London-based multidisciplinary creative studio.
"This is a significant step for the AEC sector as it transitions from 2D to 3D. Using MetroVista data, we can ensure property development is experientially testable and enable design to be context aware, which is critical as much of the inefficiency and unsuitability of development comes from not scrutinizing proposals in the 3D context," he continued.
Cityscape was one of the first companies to embrace CGI for the property sector, producing multimedia experiences using gaming technology. Cityscape created its first marketing animation based on the Bluesky data: a virtual tour and film of the Vinters Place landmark central London office development. The MetroVista data is used to communicate the real-world context of the location and the stunning views from the rooftop terrace and can viewed online here.
Using the Unreal Engine gaming platform, Cityscape has also utilized the Bluesky MetroVista data to support a bid by Canary Wharf Group to develop a prime real estate location in central London.
"The MetroVista data offers a real alternative to more traditionally produced photogrammetric models, providing the accuracy, currency and ease of use to support feasibility studies and scoping exercises and to produce solutions such as Accurate Visual Representations (AVRs) and Verified Views," continued Fennel, "and, because the data is available off the shelf it is cost effective and can fit with even the most pressing client timeframes."
Captured using the world's first large format imagery and Lidar hybrid airborne sensor, Bluesky MetroVista datasets are geographically accurate, phototextured, mesh models ready for use in 3D GIS, CAD and other modelling software, as well as visualization, gaming and VR workflows. MetroVista data is currently available for London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Nottingham, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, Norwich, Leicester, Derby and Newcastle.
The MetroVista data is used to communicate the real world context of the location and offers stunning views from the rooftop terrace.

Home WinBuzzer News Microsoft Confirms Windows 10 File Association Problem
Microsoft Confirms Windows 10 File Association Problem
Microsoft has acknowledged another problem with Windows 10, this time an issue with version 1809 and 1803. A fix will arrive this month.
November 9, 2018 5:22 pm CET
We have been used to bemoaning the various problems in Windows 10 version 1809 (October 2018 Update) over the last month. Microsoft was forced to halt the update just days after it was released, and it has not been re-released since. However, it seems Windows 10 version 1803 (April 2018 Update) is also causing issues.
Last week, a file association bug was discovered. While it affected both versions 1803 and 1809, it was the former that proved to be the problem. Microsoft confirmed a cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1803 was the root cause.
The company says the problem stops users from changing default applications to new formats. As noted, the problem was caused by cumulative updates, specifically KB4464330 for version 1809, KB4462933 and KB4462919 for version 1803.
"After installing this update, some users cannot set Win32 program defaults for certain app and file type combinations using the Open with… command or Settings > Apps > Default apps. In some cases, Microsoft Notepad or other Win32 programs cannot be set as the default," Microsoft says on a post that appears on the release page for each update.
While Microsoft works on a fix, the company offers a workaround. Users can try to change default format on applications and it may work. Admittedly, that's hardly a concise way to solve the problem and is certainly not a guarantee.
In the meantime, Windows 10 users will have to wait while Microsoft readies its fix. The company says the patch should be available before the end of November. Sadly, that means the fix will not be ready for next week's Patch Tuesday cumulative updates.

E E Isherwood
a book bubble about
Since the Sirens
If you think surviving the Zombie Apocalypse is hard, try it with your 104-year-old great grandmother in tow. 15-year-old Liam is faced with just that scenario when he gets banished for the summer to live with Grandma Marty in the city. They leave her house with high hopes of a quick drive to the suburbs—where Liam hopes to dump her off on his parents. However, nothing is ever that simple when civilization is in collapse and the infected dead are knocking on doors. A fan of zombie literature, and guided by the lessons of those books, Liam does his best to help her across the dying city. Grandma prays for a miracle the entire time, but when swarms of zombies chase a woman who can't walk more than ten feet unassisted, will one miracle be enough?
Mr. Isherwood started telling stories as a child. In grade school he drew multi-panel comics about a gaffe-prone clown, then he led Dungeons and Dragons adventures with friends, and finally he wrote a Master's thesis in Geography (a very boring kind of story). Decades of IT work followed. In his mid-forties he found a passion for zombies and penned his first trilogy about them. His first book, Since the Sirens: Sirens of the Zombie Apocalypse, Book 1, was self-published in December 2015. It features a 104-year-old woman and her 15-year-old great-grandson as they attempt to escape the Zombie Apocalypse. It has garnered over 25 reviews on Amazon, with an average rating of 4.8 stars. Book 2, Siren Songs, was published in January 2016 and is also getting great reviews. Book 3, Stop the Sirens, was published February 2016. With almost no promotion of the series, and a short release window, the third book racked up 260 pre-orders. This has encouraged Mr. Isherwood to write a follow-up book, or three. The series is set in St. Louis, Missouri, where he and his family call home.

Naming things in books
Before I started writing I was always impressed by the use of names in books. But when I started to write my own books I realized that my method of naming things was much less impressive. Many names I just pulled out of the air--whatever name struck me first was often the one I chose. Most times, weirdly, the names fit perfectly. In this passage, I reference Raptor HQ as the call sign of the Army commander guarding Illinois from the infected in St. Louis. Raptor is the name of my PC! If you ever see "talon" show up in my later books, that's because it is the name of my laptop! Did I just give away the magic? :)
Comms were cleared by a gruff new voice. The radio chatter from the police stopped cold.
"Break Break. This is Raptor HQ actual. We are the blocking force located on the east bank of the Mississippi River. All bridges are under our control. No. I repeat N-O personnel will be allowed to cross the bridges, use boats, or otherwise transit across the water, by order of General Hodges, II Corps, United States Army. We've had several, shall we call them volunteers, disobey orders and cross the bridge and river to support you. Those men and women won't be disciplined, but they won't be allowed back either. Be advised I also have orders to terminate the infected now converging on your position. I'll give you all the time I can. Say 60 minutes. Out."
It appeared the Army could see what was happening too, and took this delicate moment to remind everyone in St. Louis they still weren't allowed across the river.
Osborne spoke for the survivors, breaking all kinds of radio protocols.
"This is Captain Osborne with the Missouri Highway Patrol. On behalf of all of us laying down our lives to protect these citizens, let me just convey..."
He went on to teach Liam a whole host of new curse words. His ears were burning because Grandma was right there too, but given the circumstances of what was taking place outside, he didn't think she would be overly upset.
Liam stated what they all had to be thinking.
"No help is coming."

Looking up to a hero: Bartram's statue unveiled in 2005
To mark what would have been Sam Bartram's 100th birthday, on January 22nd, 2014, MATT WRIGHT reflects on the lasting significance of the famous Charlton goalkeeper and tells the tale of one of his most memorable matches in an Addicks shirt.
When it comes to goalkeeping legends, few rate higher than Bert Trautmann, the Manchester City custodian who once played on in an FA Cup final after breaking his neck. Even legends have heroes, though, and Trautmann's was Sam Bartram.
Over the course of 19 years, encompassing the 1930s, 40s and 50s, Bartram amassed 623 appearances for Charlton. But while such statistics are obviously impressive, it was more his adventurous nature and flamboyant style that secured his place in folklore.
Not for Sam was the traditional goalkeeper's practice of maintaining a constant vigil inside his penalty area. Spotted as often outside the box - racing forward to make an interception in a fashion for which Tottenham Hotspur keeper Hugo Lloris is currently praised – as inside it, Bartram became known throughout the land, helped by his shock of red hair and reportedly, a party trick of whipping off his cap before heading the ball away.
The Tyneside-born goalkeeper quickly earned plaudits at The Valley, where he would remain number one throughout his career, and beyond. In Trautmann's Journey, a biography of the great German, Catrine Clay writes:
"All this time Bert was improving his game, watching other players, studying them, especially goalkeepers, and always learning. … later there was Sam Bartram, goalkeeper at Charlton Athletic, who made incredible saves in an unorthodox styles, wandering up to the halfway line or clearing the ball with a header, keeping the crowds entertained – which was, Bert knew, all part of the job."
Like Trautmann, Bartram, who was signed from Boldon Villa by manager Jimmy Seed, won the FA Cup during the course of his career, the Addicks' man's highlight coming in 1947 when he kept a clean sheet over 120 minutes against Burnley at Wembley, enabling Charlton to win 1-0 after extra-time.
But arguably just as memorable a match was a game at Stamford Bridge on Christmas Day 1937 – and perhaps it's fitting that the tale should be retold during a current Championship campaign that has already seen one abandoned match and three further postponements.
Seventy-six years ago, a crowd of 41,484 assembled to watch Seed's First Division high-fliers take on Chelsea and Don Welsh gave the visitors the perfect start when he opened the scoring after nine minutes. George Mills equalised for the Blues four minutes later, but no one could have predicted the events that would lead to a headline in the Daily News that read 'Fog Stops Game but Goalie Didn't Know'.
Thick fog wasn't unknown or even uncommon in London in a time before smokeless fuel and clean air legislation, but 16 minutes into the second half, it became impenetrable, prompting the referee to abandon the game.
It was the worst Christmas fog since 1904. The Daily News reported that a cross-channel ferry had been stranded at sea for seven hours while attempting to locate Calais and that firemen had been unable to see the fire that they were fighting.
Nevertheless, it was the story of Sam Bartram, who continued to tend his goal unaware that the game in which he was playing had been called off, that endures the test of time.
The Chelsea programme from the equivalent fixture in 1948/49 sets the scene: "It was one Christmas time; a crisp and sunny morning. The game had been in progress for some time when, from the direction of Lots Road power station, a bank of fog suddenly appeared and quickly descended like a blanket upon the pitch.
"It was fantastic - but the game went on as best as possible. Behind each goal spectators lit newspapers that, by some miracle, bearing in mind it was Christmas time and none had been published, they seemed to find from somewhere."
In his autobiography, Bartram takes up the tale with the skill that saw him take up a position as a journalist for the Sunday People after the end of his playing days: "The referee stopped the game, and then, as visibility became clearer, restarted it. We were on top at this time, and I saw fewer and fewer figures as we attacked steadily.
"I paced up and down my goal-line, happy in the knowledge that Chelsea were being pinned in their own half. 'The boys must be giving the Pensioners the hammer,' I thought smugly, as I stamped my feet for warmth. Quite obviously, however, we were not getting the ball into the net. For no players were coming back to line up, as they would have done following a goal.
"Time passed, and I made several advances towards the edge of the penalty area, peering through the murk, which was getting thicker every minute. Still I could see nothing. The Chelsea defence was clearly being run off its feet."
Of course, what Bartram didn't realise was that the referee had abandoned the fixture and all of the players had left the pitch. But back in the dressing room, despite Bartram's larger-than-life extrovert character, the Charlton players were oblivious to his absence.
"Where's Sam?" Don Welsh suddenly asked, according to the Chelsea programme.
"Everyone looked blank. Then, as one, it dawned on the Charlton players what had happened. Sam had been left out there in the fog. He had not heard the whistle. He thought the game was still in progress. A search party was sent out."
Bartram recalled: "After a long time a figure loomed out of the curtain of fog in front of me. It was a policeman, and he gaped at me incredulously. 'What on earth are you doing here?' he gasped. 'The game was stopped a quarter of an hour ago. The field's completely empty'.
"And when I groped my way to the dressing-room, the rest of the Charlton team, already out of the bath and in their civvies, were convulsed with laughter."
The amused reaction continued in the following day's papers, with one headline proclaiming "Phantoms at Stamford Bridge – Game abandoned with Bartram Missing".
Bartram would play for Charlton for another 19 years but none of his matches were stranger than that foggy day at the Bridge*.
What's more, ultimately it was Bartram who had the last laugh. He passed away on July 17th, 1981, aged 67, but now with a giant bronze statue erected outside of The Valley to mark the club's centenary year, his connection with the club he represented remains constant and evident to all who arrive in SE7.
Happy 100th birthday, Sam.
* The two sides actually met two days later in the reverse fixture at The Valley, when the Addicks won 3-1, and when the abandoned match was replayed at Chelsea in late April, Welsh again scored in a 1-1 draw.

Q: Symfony - error because of addslashes in DQL query I do:
    $text = '%'.addslashes($text).'%';

    $images = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager()
        ->createQuery("SELECT img, cat, u
                       FROM AcmeMainBundle:Image img
                       JOIN img.category cat
                       JOIN img.user u
                       WHERE img.title LIKE '$text' OR img.description LIKE '$text'
                       ORDER BY img.id DESC")
        ->getResult();

and when $text contains some ' than it throws error

[Syntax Error] line 0, col 150: Error: Expected end of string, got 'T'
  500 Internal Server Error - QueryException

How to fix it?

A:    $images = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager()
        ->createQuery("SELECT img, cat, u
                       FROM AcmeMainBundle:Image img
                       JOIN img.category cat
                       JOIN img.user u
                       WHERE img.title LIKE :text OR img.description LIKE :text
                       ORDER BY img.id DESC")
        ->setParameter('text', $text)
        ->getResult();

Or try this:
   $text = "%".$text."%";
   $images = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager()
        ->createQueryBuilder()
        ->select(array('img','cat','u'))
        ->from('AcmeMainBundle:Image', 'img')
        ->innerJoin('img.category', 'cat')
        ->innerJoin('img.user', 'u')
        ->where('img.title LIKE :title OR img.description LIKE :description')
        ->orderBy('img.id','DESC')
        ->setParameter('title', $title)
        ->setParameter('description', $title)
        ->getResult();
