Q: asp.net core mvc console not coming up anymore I am starting a new web application, but this time I am using .net core mvc.  I have been struggling with all the changes from mvc 5.  That said, I was making some great strides when the application stopped running.  It compiles error free but when it runs the console does not come up anymore (as it did before) and when the browser opens it just says the site cannot be reached

I don't know what specific code to post as I have no clue where the issue is.  It all started when I tried to force HTTPS in the Startup.cs but I have since commented that out and yet it still does not work.  Here is Startup.cs in case that helps.  How can I get the console back up?

            });
        }
    }
}

A: It would appear that the issue stemmed from the run menu drop-down being set to "IIS Express" instead of my application name.  When I set it back to the application name the console pops back up and it runs the application.  Core is so different from MVC5 it is really throwing me for a loop.

Q: Go - how to detect if the Windows or Mac desktop screen is landscape or portrait mode? With Go, how can i detect if the Windows or Mac PC is in landscape or portrait mode please?
here is a following example where i need to read the action for layout if its landscape or portrait.
package main

import "fmt"

const url = "http://localhost:8080/demo1?action=landscape"

func main() {
  myos := runtime.GOOS

    cmd := exec.Command(chrome, "--chrome-frame", "--kiosk", url)
    err := cmd.Start()
    if err != nil {
      // 64-bit
      //println("Failed to start chrome:", err)
      chrome := "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"
      cmd := exec.Command(chrome, "--chrome-frame", "--kiosk", url)
      cmd.Start()
    }

  } else if myos == "darwin" {
    // open -b com.google.Chrome --args <which args to pass to Chrome>
    // "/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"

    err := cmd.Start()
    if err != nil {
      fmt.Println("failed")
    }

  } else {
    //Linux
    chrome := "google-chrome"
    cmd := exec.Command(chrome, "--chrome-frame", "--kiosk", url)
    err := cmd.Start()
    if err != nil {
      fmt.Println("failed")
    }

  }

}

A: Once again, not a direct answer to your question, but may solve your problem.
See this for a description.  All you really need to do is check the dimensions of the window via javascript and reload the page with the correct args.
if height > width, it's portrait mode, otherwise it's landscape

Assertiveness can make or break you
You can't have too much charisma, drive or intelligence, especially if you aspire to be a leader. But assertiveness, widely recognised as another key leadership characteristic, is apparently a subtler commodity.
by Stanford Graduate School of Business
According to organisational behaviour expert Frank Flynn, the greatest identifiable trait that can hold somebody back from becoming a great leader is being too assertive - or not assertive enough.
In a soon-to-be-published paper, Flynn reports on a striking phenomenon he observed while teaching an organisational behaviour class at Columbia Business School with Daniel Ames.
The major class assignment required students to obtain anonymous feedback on their leadership and management styles from former work colleagues. "Again and again, the issue of too much or too little assertiveness came up in evaluations of students' weaknesses," says Flynn. "It was hard to miss, yet we realised this issue had been barely addressed in the research literature."
After analysing three years' worth of written and survey data on students, as well as students' assessments of their own former bosses, Flynn and Ames found that excessive or inadequate assertiveness was the number one issue listed in the weakness column when it came to evaluating individuals' leadership potential. Specifically, the researchers found an inverted "U" between the ratings of a person's assertiveness and his or her leadership ability: up to a certain point it was positively associated, but then it went back down.
"The analogy we use is that assertiveness is like salt in a sauce: too much spoils the dish, but too little is equally distracting," Flynn says. He adds that at the "just right" point, assertiveness disappears as a leadership quality, either positive or negative. "While getting assertiveness wrong in one direction or the other dominates perceptions of weakness, getting it right is not a major theme in perceptions of strengths," he says. "In other words, nobody ever compliments a chef on a perfectly salted dish."
Over-assertiveness or excessive passivity prevent leaders from operating effectively, Flynn argues. But this does not mean that good leaders should aim to always be moderately assertive, he says. "A better way to look at it might be that a good leader knows how to pick their spots - when to come on strong and when to hold back."
A big part of assertiveness management is to be aware of how your behaviour affects others. And this is easier for the meek than the mighty. "Very unassertive people generally realise they're too passive and are being stepped on," he says. "But aggressive people tend to have no clue as to how they're being perceived."
Frank Flynn

You want to join 3 locations and pass data among all three.
4 x Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 unit. The Rocket is high performance, two-antenna (MIMO), Wireless-N unit. It will accept single antenna (SISO) connections.
4 x Ubiquiti POE injectors, with AC power cords.
4 x 20m External, Grounded POE cables.
4 x Configuration and testing. We configure all 4 units into a PtPtP bridge link and test.
You have no clear Line of Sight (LOS) and need to pass data through a mid-point. The mid-point will have LOS to each of the two end-points. In some cases the mid-point may be a hill-top or a building between the two end-points.
You want to join 3 locations and pass data among all three. The ethernet port at each of the three nodes is available to pass data so you could join three building LANs with this product.
25+ km max. range per hop. Clear Line of Sight (LOS) required between the antennas.
Easy pointing. All devices have an external LED display giving the received signal level.
Layer 2 bridge link. This is not a routed link - meaning you are effectively joining two buildings into one virtual LAN. LAN protocols like DHCP and Microsoft Networking work across the bridge without any configuration. Because the PowerStation units are effectively 2-port learning network switches, they do not pass unnecessary LAN traffic to the other building. That is, LAN traffic between PCs in Building 1 does not flow over the wireless link into Building 2; maximising available bandwidth and performance.

This art buying model solves a stalemate between buyers—who want to purchase art but feel it is more responsible to pay for the works over time—and sellers who do not want to play the role of a bank.
Becker explains that 90% of his customers can afford to pay for their art upfront but it is a powerful psychological enabler for them to be able to pay over time.
More important, Becker explains, Art Money takes a widespread practice among art market veterans—paying for a work of art over time—and makes it available to new buyers who may not know that some galleries will over such terms to buyers.

The Jeweler to the 'Vanderpump Rules' Stars on Everything You Need to Know About Engagement Rings
Kyle Chan knows how to put some serious shine on your proposal, so we asked him all our burning wedding-season questions. What the hell IS a cushion-cut diamond, anyway?
Brittany Cartwright might have been the woman to convince notorious reality TV bad boy Jax Taylor to settle down. But Kyle Chan is the man who Taylor (and Cartwright) turned to, to symbolize their commitment. He is, in fact, the man who captures love in diamonds (and other assorted baubles) for a lot of the couples on Vanderpump Rules, designing not just Cartwright's engagement ring but that of VPR cast members Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney as well (not to mention plenty of their non-engagement/wedding bling, too).
OMG, 😱💎❤ @mrjaxtaylor @brittany are engaged. Love you both very much and congratulations. Super happy for you both.
A post shared by kylechandesign (@kylechandesign) on Jun 7, 2018 at 9:31pm PDT
Overall, Chan has been in the jewelry business for 20 years, and so, as we're about to enter peak wedding season, we figured we'd throw every question our staff had about procuring a stone in the name of lifelong marital bliss at him — from how much to spend, to what kind of wedding bands are out there for the man who loathes jewelry, to what-the-fuck a cushion cut diamond is anyway.
What advice do you have for somebody who wants to figure out what their significant other desires in their ring but doesn't want to ruin the surprise of popping the question?
You should always find out from their best friend. It's very important to know if they have a certain shape or color of diamond in mind, as is the expectation of the size. Those three are very crucial. And if they're specific about what they want, you really shouldn't do the surprise thing. Because you don't want to be that guy whose partner looks at the ring and goes, "Ugh." It's really a sticky situation when your boyfriend gives you a ring that you don't like.
On that note, what advice do you have for someone who receives an engagement ring they hate?
At first, you should be happy to get the ring. If you want to marry that person, you're already in love. Don't hurt the other person's feelings. No matter what they give you, you should be sweet. I'd say to politely wait at least five years before upgrading or getting a different ring — unless that first ring is really, really, really ugly. If that's the case, you can only regret that you didn't drop enough hints. You're both responsible for being clear about your expectations and for listening to those expectations.
I don't know anything about cuts of diamonds. What are some popular shapes people should know about before setting out to purchase a rock?
Different cuts of diamonds trend every 15 to 20 years. In the old days, it was mostly just round diamonds and princess-cut diamonds, which are perfectly square. Now people are more adventurous, but a lot of other classic shapes are still coming back. Pear shapes are having a moment, which obviously look like the shape of the fruit and are quite wide. When pear shapes are the longer side, some people call them teardrops depending on how elongated the stone is.
Ariana Grande, Paris Hilton and Katie Maloney, whose wedding ring I did, all opted for pear shaped recently. People who want a timeless look go for emerald cut or cushion shaped. Brittany and Jax went for a cushion-cut ring, which is sometimes called a radiant cut. This means the edges of the ring are rounded instead of pointy.
Love this man. 💎💎💎❤
A post shared by kylechandesign (@kylechandesign) on Nov 7, 2017 at 9:47pm PST
Do you think it's a good idea to custom design a ring?
If you do, design something very timeless. There's no good reason to over design an engagement ring. You want the ring to be able to wear with every outfit, and you want the ring to be able to work with different trends. If the ring is too complicated, it might only look good with certain outfits, or make it harder for you to mix and match with other jewelry. Timeless and elegant is best. Sometimes people want a combination of everything, and it's too much. If you over design the engagement ring, there's also a chance it won't lay nicely with your partner's actual wedding ring, which wouldn't be good. I've seen engagement rings with a band so full of lines and curves that the wedding ring won't fit.
Jax Taylor and Tom Schwartz both came to you to make rings for their fiancées. Did these guys have a pretty good idea of what they wanted? Or what their partners wanted?
I was pretty lucky. Katie and Brittany had a clear vision of what shape they wanted and the color combination. Katie's ring is very special. It's a pear-shaped, champagne colored diamond. She wanted it in rose gold and was specific on a few criteria that she mentioned to me. I added a personal twist to it.
As for Brittany, she knew she wanted a square or a cushion type of shape, but when I presented a few stones to Jax and made a few suggestions, we went with a radiant cut cushion, which has a lot of brilliance to it. We kept it simple with a halo around, but I created one extra halo to represent Jax — the other, of course, being Brittany.
Can't believe how fast time flies. @twschwa @musickillskate happy anniversary!!!!💎💎💎💎💎🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😁love both of you #bubbas very much. 💎💎💎❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💎💎

Do you have explicit agreements about what they'll post, or how often they'll post about certain pieces?
I work with numerous celebrities, but I've never been asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Likewise, I never request any of them to be obligated to do any posts whatsoever. I believe that if you're a genuine person and if you're nice to people, they'll be nice to you. If they really like your product, that helps, too. 'Cause if people send me stuff and I don't like it, it's hard for me to post.
What do you think about proposing with stones that aren't diamonds? Such as the best-known "fake diamond," cubic zirconia?
Everybody has their own budget, right? You just got to be realistic with yourself, and as long as you think your other half won't mind, you buy whatever you can afford at that time. I think that's still a very, very sweet move. Maybe instead of a fake stone, though, consider other "real" alternatives, such as morganite. Morganite is really, really popular, and still pretty affordable. You could also use sapphires, which are more affordable than diamonds. You can buy a fake, or you can buy something at a lower price point. Either way, it should be coming from your heart.
What do you think about the idea that the person proposing should spend three months' salary on a ring?
It's very important that the piece of jewelry is coming from you and really coming from your heart, so don't be stingy. That's the standard, but if you don't feel like you make as much as other people, don't buy a $30,000 ring. You should really try, though, to please your future spouse and show your sincerity in the commitment.
What about men who are getting married but hate wearing jewelry. Any advice for what kind of wedding band they should get?
I do encounter a lot of guys who say they aren't used to wearing jewelry. There's two options: You should always keep it as simple as possible, like a plain band, but you could always make the band comfort-fit, too. Inside the band of a comfort-fit, they can make a curved line so when it goes on, the area touching the skin is minimal. It's really comfortable because it's round from the inside. It's a regular gold band, but inside of it, it's rounded instead of flat.

When it comes to social media marketing, we usually think of Instagram, but I heard you first used Facebook to connect with public figures. Is that true?
Yes, my boyfriend was sick in the hospital, and I began making bracelets. I've always believed in the power of social media, but like a lot of people, I didn't know how to start. Facebook was the only outlet back then, so I used it to try to contact any of the celebrities or models I could find. I just sent them messages in hopes of them wearing my jewelry or posting a picture or something. Within the first nine months, I made about 355 bracelets, shipped them out and only got three returned to me.
It's wedding season. Are you particularly excited about attending any upcoming weddings?
Jax and Brittany's wedding is coming up! I'm going to Kentucky for it, and I'm super excited. I've never been, so I'm probably going to fly in a couple of days earlier. I want to see the area. And yes, I'm making some pieces for Brittany to wear for her wedding, which is really exciting too.

Over the past few months, I started to stick to a regular fitness regimen. As a mother of 2 boys, I find it very hard to find time to "really" workout during the day or at the end of the day after they go to sleep. So…I started going to a Burn Bootcamp class at 5:30am!! Yes, I know, that sounds AWFUL. However, my kids and hubby are asleep while I am gone, and by the time everyone wakes up I worked out and most days even showered. Yes, I get to shower in peace and quiet…haha!
Now, I understand a 5:30am workout is not for everyone (totally wasn't for me either)! But… if you set fitness goals and find a routine that works for you, you can make it happen.
I found this on Pinterest the other week and thought it was a great way to keep myself accountable. Hope it will help give others inspiration when starting/maintaining your fitness journey!

Approximately 30 tonnes of oxide, transitional and fresh samples will be collected from a high-grade massive magnetite layer within the proposed open pit at Gabanintha, located 40 kilometres south of Meekatharra.
They will be used to run a robust pilot plant testwork program for the project's crushing, milling and beneficiation (CMB) circuit.
Concentrate products from the CMB program will then be used in salt-roast leach and hydrometallurgical tests to produce samples of refined vanadium pentoxide.
The results will be used to refine the outcomes of a pre-feasibility study released last month, which indicated a world-class project with a well-defined resource base and robust economics, utilising an industry-standard, low-risk method of beneficiation and refining to produce a vanadium pentoxide flake product.
The company hopes they will also contribute to an update the current mineral resource estimate of 183.6 million tonnes grading 0.76% vanadium pentoxide.
A distinct high-grade zone within the resource totals 96.7Mt at 1% vanadium pentoxide.
"The material [we collect] for this program is essential to confirming the performance of the circuit we have already defined at pre-feasibility stage," said managing director Vincent Algar.
Resource drilling will intersect the Gabanintha mineralisation and provide key geo-metallurgical information and data on pit wall angles, plus free-dig boundaries in the waste rock.
Innovative procedures will be utilised to reduce costs and drilling time, and maximise tonnage and information per hole.
Geotechnical structures, for example, will be measured using downhole Televiewer technology to identify areas not previously intersected by orthogonal-to-deposit resource drillholes.
Detailed analysis of the samples will be conducted using new spectral and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core-scanning techniques by the company's contracted laboratory services.
Earlier this month, Australian Vanadium said it was in well-positioned to advance Gabanintha after a capital raising exercise boosted its cash reserves to $9.68 million.
In early morning trade, shares in Australian Vanadium were steady at $0.026.

Plaque tribute to Norwich police force
Peter Walsh
A former senior Norfolk detective has told how the unveiling of a plaque in commemoration of the old Norwich City Police force would be a fitting tribute to a former city officer who died last month.
Hundreds of people last week attended a funeral service for Cecil Mason, 78, known to his friends as Johnny, who did suddenly while on holiday in South Africa on April 11 after he suffered an aneurysm.
Mr Mason, from Thorpe St Andrew, joined the Norwich City Police, as it was then, in 1956 and spent 30 years as a serving policeman before retiring and becoming the force historian and archivist - a role he performed up to his death.
As a historian and archivist Mr Mason spent much of his time fighting for a memorial to the officers who served in the Norwich City Police from its formation in January 1836 until it was disbanded in December 1967 to become part of Norfolk Constabulary.
And on June 13 a plaque is to be unveiled at St Peter Mancroft Church, in recognition of the officers who served the city as part of the city force.
Maurice Morson, former head of Norfolk CID and now a historian and author, said it was a tragedy that Mr Mason would not be there to see it, but the plaque would be his legacy.
He said: "It's a tribute to all the Norwich City Police who served from 1836 until 1967 but it's a reminder and legacy to him in as much as he promoted the idea and pressed so that it should come into being."
Mr Morson said it was Mr Mason that got the plans drawn up, found an engraver and liaised with the diocese to get the memorial put in St Peter Mancroft.
"The ironic thing is he said we will have it made but won't have it dedicated until June when he came back from holiday and of course he died on holiday.
Mr Morson, who worked with Mr Mason and paid tribute to him at the funeral at Thorpe St Andrew Episcopi Church, Thorpe St Andrew, described him as "the original Dock Green community policeman - very genial and very affable to the public."
He said: "A lot of people have cause to be grateful to him. He dedicated his life to helping and serving others."
Mr Mason, who worked at Laurence Scott and Electromotors in the city before joining the Royal Navy, is responsible for the historical police exhibition in the main hall at Norfolk police's headquarters in Wymondham.
The unveiling of the plaque will take place at St Peter Mancroft Church at 11am on Sunday, June 13.

MLB imposes stricter mound limits, defers on pitch clocks
Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen meets at the mound with pitching coach Rick Honeycutt during Game 5 of the World Series against Houston on Oct. 29.
(Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)
By Staff and wire reports
Feb. 19, 2018 10:50 AM PT
Major League Baseball imposed stricter limits on mound visits in an effort to speed up games but decided against 20-second pitch clocks for 2018.
After more than a year of negotiations, the Major League Baseball Players Assn. refused to agree to the changes but also signed an agreement that it will not oppose the new rules.
The new amendments to the playing rules announced Monday include a general limit of six mound visits per nine-inning game without a pitching change, whether by a manager, coach or player.
At Dodgers camp at Camelback Ranch in Phoenix, catcher Austin Barnes said the prevalence of sign stealing in recent seasons had resulted in additional mound visits.
"Limiting the mound visits seems like a detriment to the quality of play nowadays with what's going on in the game," Barnes said, adding, "We're not just going out there to see how they're doing. There's a reason why we're going out there."
To assuage players' concerns about sign stealing, MLB will install new telephone lines from dugouts to video replay rooms. MLB said the lines would be monitored, and a person familiar with the decision told the Associated Press all conversations on the lines would be recorded. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because that detail was not announced.
MLB has the right to make changes to playing rules without an agreement (with one year's notice) and made both proposals during the 2016-17 offseason.
At Angels camp in Tempe, Ariz., third baseman Zack Cozart said he wasn't convinced the new rule would do much to speed up the games. "I mean, what do you do with baseball?" he said. "There's no shot clock."
Shortstop Andrelton Simmons chimed in: "That's coming."
Said Cozart: "Yeah, I think so. It's going to eventually get where they put a two-and-a-half-hour time up there and say, 'Whoever is winning when this thing is done, that's the game.' I feel like that's where it's going.
"It's going to be weird. But what can you do? The commish wants to do it. It's going to happen. He has the power; right now at least."
In a statement, commissioner Rob Manfred said he was "pleased that we were able to reach an understanding with the players association."
"My strong preference is to continue to have ongoing dialogue with players on this topic to find mutually acceptable solutions," he added.
Union head Tony Clark noted the sides technically did not reach a deal.
"The focus on mound visits and/or the level of commitment on the other pieces simply didn't focus enough attention on the areas the players wanted to address — so no agreement was reached," he said in an email to the AP.
"While a number of pitchers will acknowledge that some mound visits are unnecessary, a limitation combined with what the experience has been of late in regard to technologically enhanced sign stealing means that there are concerns about how this will work or not work."
Until now, the only restriction on mound visits was a second visit to the same pitcher during an inning by a manager or coach resulted in an automatic pitching change. The number of visits by catchers during games has increased in recent years, contributing to the average time of a nine-inning game stretching to a record three hours and five minutes last season, up from 2:46 in 2005.
Under the new rule, each team would get an additional mound visit without a pitching change for each extra inning. Trips will not count against the limit following an offensive substitution, to check on potential injuries or to clean spikes on wet fields. If a team is out of visits, the plate umpire may give permission for additional trips by the catcher in the event of a cross-up on pitch signals.
MLB is eliminating the rules guaranteeing eight warmup pitches before a half-inning in an effort to keep between-inning breaks to 2:05 for most games, 2:25 for regular-season games on national television and 2:55 for tiebreaker and postseason games. There are exceptions relating to injury and if the pitcher or catcher finishes the previous half inning on base, at bat or on deck.
Times staff writer Andy McCullough, from Phoenix, and correspondent Jeff Miller, from Tempe, Ariz., contributed to article by the Associated Press.

Book Review: The Summer House
May 25, 2020 / madisonslibrary / 0 Comments
The Summer House – Lauren K. Denton – Thomas Nelson – Published 2 June 2020
Lily Bishop wakes up one morning to find a good-bye note and divorce papers from her husband on the kitchen counter. Having moved to Alabama for his job only weeks before, Lily is devastated, but a flyer at the grocery store for a hair stylist position in a local retirement community provides a refuge while she contemplates her next steps.
Rose Carrigan built the small retirement village of Safe Harbor years ago—just before her husband ran off with his assistant. Now she runs a tight ship, making sure the residents follow her strict rules. Rose keeps everyone at arm's length, including her own family. But when Lily shows up asking for a job and a place to live, Rose's cold exterior begins to thaw.
Lily and Rose form an unlikely friendship, and Lily's salon soon becomes the place where residents share town gossip, as well as a few secrets. Lily soon finds herself drawn to Rose's nephew, Rawlins—a single dad and shrimper who's had some practice at starting over—and one of the residents may be carrying a torch for Rose as well.
The Summer House by Lauren K. Denton is utterly delightful. With a touch of US Deep South charm, two multigenerational romances to enjoy and a story of learning to love and live again after a life of hurt, it's the perfect light read.
Lily Bishop has recently moved to Alabama for her husband's work. He promised her a new start, but one morning she wakes to find him gone, leaving behind a rented house she has just days to move out of, furniture she doesn't want, no job or income to speak of and divorce papers. An opening for a hairdresser at a nearby retirement community seems providential. After just a few days, Lily feels more at home in the safe and peaceful community than she has in the years since she lost her mother. Rose Carrigan owns and runs Safe Harbor community village. She gives Lily the second start she needs, but it also opens up the chance for a second chance for Rose – at love, at reconnecting with her brother and with finally stepping out and enjoying life.
The Summer House is a really easy book to sink into and enjoy. If you are looking for something light, but with lots of heart, look no further. The romance is light and sweet. The problems the characters face – from divorce to hurts that span decades give the book depth without making it a heavy or overly sad book. And the setting, Safe Harbor, is as safe and comforting as it sounds, with the added bonus of all the fun that come with a retirement village full of elders who aren't afraid of a good party, hair dye or gossip.
Book Review: Hadley Beckett's Next Dish
April 15, 2020 / madisonslibrary / 2 Comments
Hadley Beckett's Next Dish – Bethany Turner – Revell – Published 5 May 2020
Celebrity chef Maxwell Cavanaugh is known for many things: his multiple Michelin stars, his top-rated Culinary Channel show To the Max, and most of all his horrible temper. Hadley Beckett, host of the Culinary Channel's other top-rated show, At Home with Hadley, is beloved for her Southern charm and for making her viewers feel like family.
When Max experiences a very public temper tantrum, he's sent packing to get his life in order. When he returns, career in shambles, his only chance to get back on TV and in the public's good graces is to work alongside Hadley.
As these polar-opposite celeb chefs begin to peel away the layers of public persona and reputation, they will not only discover the key ingredients for getting along, but also learn the secret recipe for unexpected forgiveness . . . and maybe even love. In the meantime, hide the knives.
Hadley Beckett's Next Dish is everything I needed from this book. It's light and funny, but doesn't shy away from some deeper topics. It's relaxing to read and just so much fun. It's sexy but clean, redemptive but not preachy, has lots of yummy food to imagine eating, and have I mentioned how fun it is to read?
Hadley Beckett is an up and coming chef. She has Michelin stars, restaurants, magazines and even her own cooking show, At Home With Hadley. Her latest accomplishment is making it through the finals of America's Fiercest Chef. But when her competitor, the foul-mouthed and rude Max Cavanaugh, throws a temper tantrum when she wins, her moment of triumph is dampened. A few months on, Hadley is offered the chance to feature on her most favourite cooking show, the only catch is that she must work alongside Max. Max claims he has changed, but Hadley's not sure she can trust him.
Hadley Beckett's Next Dish had me doing a complete 180 when reading it. I went from hating Max and thinking there was no way he was good enough for Hadley (after reading the first chapter, I even went back to check the synopsis because I thought he couldn't possibly be the love interest) to rooting so hard for the characters. Oh my gosh. I loved them both so much. You know how some books just don't give you enough time spent between the two love interests and it's hard to believe their relationship or growing feelings? This is not that book. The majority of the book is spend with the two characters interacting, face-to-face, texting, phone calls, while shooting on the cooking show, cooking, arguing, facing off. We get to see them in so many situations and I adored their banter, teasing, full-out fighting and every moment in between.
Book Review: Uprooted
June 15, 2019 / madisonslibrary / 0 Comments
Uprooted – Naomi Novik – Pan Macmillan – Published 12 May 2016 (first pub 2015)
Agnieszka loves her village, set in a peaceful valley. But the nearby enchanted forest casts a shadow over her home. Many have been lost to the Wood and none return unchanged. The villagers depend on an ageless wizard, the Dragon, to protect them from the forest's dark magic. However, his help comes at a terrible price. A young woman must serve him for ten years, leaving all she values behind.
Agnieszka fears her dearest friend Kasia will be picked at the next choosing, for she is everything Agnieszka is not – beautiful, graceful and brave. Yet when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he takes.
Loosely based around a Beauty and the Beast retelling, Uprooted is gloriously imagined, with intricate storytelling and a world where witches and wizards must fight against the ever encroaching and corruptive powers of the Woods.
Book Review: Glory Road
February 27, 2019 / madisonslibrary / 0 Comments
Glory Road – Lauren K. Denton – Thomas Nelson – Published 19 March 2019
At thirty-eight, garden shop owner Jessie McBride thinks her chances for romance are years behind her and, after her failed marriage, she's fine with that. She lives contentedly with her fiery mother and her quiet, headstrong daughter. But the unexpected arrival of two men on Glory Road make her question if she's really happy with the status quo. Handsome, wealthy Sumner Tate asks her to arrange flowers for his daughter's wedding, and Jessie finds herself drawn to his continued attention. And Ben Bradley, her lingering what-could-have-been from high school days who's known her better than anyone and whom she hasn't seen in years, moves back to the red dirt road. Jessie finds her heart being pulled in directions she never expected.
Meanwhile, Jessie's fourteen-year-old daughter, Evan, is approaching the start of high school and trying to navigate a new world of identity and emotions–particularly as they relate to the cute new guy who's moved in just down the road. At the same time, Jessie's mother, Gus, increasingly finds herself forgetful and faces a potentially frightening future.
As all three women navigate the uncertain paths of their hearts and futures, one summer promises to bring change–whether they're ready for it or not.
In the midst of a stressful and very busy week it was such a pleasure to sink into Glory Road each night (and morning and lunchtime and basically any minute I could squeeze into my day). The relaxed, restful and charming nature and setting of this book was simply delightful and such a pleasure to enjoy. Glory Road is a multigenerational story of growing up, loving and learning.
Book Review: Hurricane Season
March 3, 2018 / madisonslibrary / 0 Comments
Hurricane Season – Lauren K. Denton – Thomas Nelson – Published 3 April 2018
♥♥♥♥/♥
Betsy and Ty Franklin, owners of Franklin Dairy Farm in southern Alabama, have decided to put life's disappointments behind them. At least in theory. Ty manages their herd of dairy cows, while Betsy busies herself with the farm's day-to-day operations and tries to forget the longing for motherhood set deep in her heart. But when Betsy's free-spirited younger sister Jenna drops her young daughters off at the farm to attend a two-week art retreat in Florida, Betsy's carefully constructed wall of self-protection begins to crumble.
As those two weeks stretch much farther into the hot Alabama summer, Betsy and Ty learn to navigate the new additions in their world and revel in a home that's suddenly filled with the sound of laughter and life. Meanwhile, record heat promises to usher in the most active hurricane season in decades.
Four hundred miles away, Jenna is fighting her own battles. She'd once been free to travel and pursue a career in photography, but all that changed with the appearance of two pink lines on a plastic stick and a boyfriend who hit the road. At Halcyon art retreat, she finally has the time and energy to focus on her photography. As the summer continues, she wonders how her rediscovered passion can fit in with the life she's made back home with her two children.
When Hurricane Ingrid aims her steady eye at the Alabama coast, Jenna must make a decision that could affect both her and her children's futures, and Betsy and Ty find themselves protecting their beloved farm as well as their own hearts.
Storms can bring great destruction, but they can also bring a time for discovering what lasts, what holds together even through the harshest weather, and what comes out better for the rain. Hurricane Season is a book truly evocative of Southern summer and which captures the complications of family relationships, the desire to see dreams fulfilled, and the trials that test marriages and break hearts.
When Betsy receives a voice message from her sister, Jenna, asking if she can leave her two young girls with her while she attends a photography camp, Betsy knows it will test everything inside her. It will bring back the harsh memories of negative test results and the guest room that never became a nursery. It will strain further her relationship with her husband, something that was only now slowly returning to normal. But Betsy never says no to her sister and so two sweet, young girls descend on Betsy and Ty's farm and home. For Jenna it is a time to finally follow her dreams of photography. For Betsy and Ty it is a time of facing the past's hurt and faded dreams, while reconnecting as a couple. But as a hurricane looms, will this family survive everything the summer has in store for them?
Book Review: The Sweet Smell of Magnolias and Memories
The Sweet Smell of Magnolias and Memories – Celeste Fletcher McHale – Thomas Nelson – Published 23 May 2017
Jacey and Colin shared the three most intense days of their lives together, waiting for help as Mississippi floodwaters surrounded them. Jacey knew Colin was the love of her life—until her rescue boat went under water, along with Colin's last name and pieces of Jacey's memory.
As Jacey walks down the aisle as the maid of honor in her friend's wedding a year later, the last person she expects to see is Colin. The biggest surprise, though, is that the man of her dreams is not wearing jeans and flip-flops as he did when he held her through those long nights of the flood. He's the preacher.
As Jacey's memories come flooding back, it's almost more than she can take. The fate of the young family trapped with them haunts her. The unwavering honesty—and support—of her best friend Georgia forces her to take a fresh look at herself. She's spent her life afraid of love. But this flood is opening Jacey's heart in the most unexpected ways.
The Sweet Smell of Magnolias and Memories is a lighthearted tale of friendship, misunderstandings, and missed chances.
Jacey Lang spent three terrifying days atop a roof during a terrible storm. She shared that experience with a young family and (possibly) the man of her dreams. But a traumatic accident during their rescue left Jacey with scattered memories and no way to reconnect with Colin. One year later Jacey accidentally finds Colin again – at the end of the isle at her best friend's wedding, as the preacher. Uncertain what the future holds for them, Jacey must deal with her returning memories about the accident and the fate of the young family, while Colin comes to terms with his family's past.
Book Review: The Hideaway

The Hideaway – Lauren K. Denton – Thomas Nelson – Published 11 April 2017
When her grandmother's will wrenches Sara back home from New Orleans, she learns more about Margaret Van Buren in the wake of her death than she ever did in life.
After her last remaining family member dies, Sara Jenkins goes home to The Hideaway, her grandmother Mags's ramshackle B&B in Sweet Bay, Alabama. She intends to quickly tie up loose ends then return to her busy life and thriving antique shop in New Orleans. Instead, she learns Mags has willed her The Hideaway and charged her with renovating it—no small task considering Mags's best friends, a motley crew of senior citizens, still live there.
Rather than hurrying back to New Orleans, Sara stays in Sweet Bay and begins the biggest house-rehabbing project of her career. Amid Sheetrock dust, old memories, and a charming contractor, she discovers that slipping back into life at The Hideaway is easier than she expected.
Then she discovers a box Mags left in the attic with clues to a life Sara never imagined for her grandmother. With help from Mags's friends, Sara begins to piece together the mysterious life of bravery, passion, and choices that changed Mags's destiny in both marvelous and devastating ways.
When an opportunistic land developer threatens to seize The Hideaway, Sara is forced to make a choice—stay in Sweet Bay and fight for the house and the people she's grown to love or leave again and return to her successful but solitary life in New Orleans.
The Hideaway is absolutely charming, featuring two intertwined stories of love, self-discovery, and the search for peace.
Deep in the heart of the South is a dilapidated, quirky, and much-loved old home. The Hideaway is a shelter for those who are lost or want to escape society. For Sara, growing up there with her equally quirky grandmother, the Hideaway was embarrassing and as a young adult she quickly escaped to New Orleans to start her own business. Now her grandmother is dead and Sara has been left with the Hideaway, its remaining occupants, and the task of refurbishing the house. But the longer she stays, the harder it is to imagine leaving. She also begins to uncover the secrets her grandmother closely guarded and starts to fall in love with the charming contractor refurbishing what is quickly becoming her home.
This book is written in two sets of alternating chapters. The first from Sara, present day as she returns to her childhood home after the death of her grandmother. The other chapters are written from the perspective of Mags, Sara's grandmother, dating from the 1960s as Mags escaped an unfaithful husband, learned to love again, stand on her own feet, and never again let someone's judgement shape who she was.
Book Review: Dawn Study
December 23, 2016 / madisonslibrary / 0 Comments
Dawn Study – Maria V. Snyder – Soulfinders series #3, Ixia Chronicles #9 – Mira/Harlequin Teen – Published 23 January 2017
Despite the odds, Yelena and Valek have forged an irrevocable bond and a family that transcends borders. Now, when their two homelands stand on the brink of war, they must fight with magic and cunning to thwart an Ixian plot to invade Sitia.
Yelena seeks to break the hold of the insidious Theobroma that destroys a person's resistance to magical persuasion. But the Cartel is determined to keep influential citizens and Sitian diplomats in thrall and Yelena at bay. With every bounty hunter after her, Yelena is forced to make a dangerous deal.
With might and magic, Valek peels back the layers of betrayal surrounding the Commander. At its rotten core lies a powerful magician and his latest discovery. The fate of all rests upon two unlikely weapons. One may turn the tide. The other could spell the end of everything.
Dawn Study is the long-awaited conclusion to the Soulfinders series and the Ixia Chronicles. How I have loved every single minute spent with Valek, Yelena, and the gang. They have grabbed my heart, taken me on wild adventures, driven me slightly crazy with tension, and changed forever the way I look at books. Dawn Study is everything I was expecting and waiting for. Incredible doesn't do it justice. Prepare yourself, because this is going to be a long review – when I am this in love I get longwinded.
Yelena and Valek have long been working towards establishing peace between Ixia and Sitia. Now they must face their final battle. The magicians of Sitia are under the control of a rogue group and the Commander is threatening to invade. Yelena, Valek and their friends have until the hot season before they lose their chance of peace once and for all. They will need to sacrifice everything in the hopes of one day being able to raise their family in safety.
Dawn Study kind of felt like both a second-last and last book in the series rolled into one. There is so much contained within its pages. Along with Yelena's first-person-narrated chapters, readers are treated to chapters from Janco, Valek, Leif and also Heli's perspectives, told in third person. This keeps the reader well informed about all the different angles of the story and made me pay attention as it sometimes takes a while to circle back around through all the characters. It also made it a little hard to pick the story back after putting it down (because, you know, my boss doesn't like it when I read all day, although "it's Dawn Study" might have proven a worthy excuse). But these multiple perspectives are necessary to continue the story and I absolutely love the extra insight we get into all the characters. Continue reading
Book Review: Everything We Keep
July 10, 2016 / madisonslibrary / 2 Comments
Everything We Keep – Kerry Lonsdale – Lake Union – Published 1 August 2016
♥♥♥/♥
Sous chef Aimee Tierney has the perfect recipe for the perfect life: marry her childhood sweetheart, raise a family, and buy out her parents' restaurant. But when her fiancé, James Donato, vanishes in a boating accident, her well-baked future is swept out to sea. Instead of walking down the aisle on their wedding day, Aimee is at James's funeral—a funeral that leaves her more unsettled than at peace.
As Aimee struggles to reconstruct her life, she delves deeper into James's disappearance. What she uncovers is an ocean of secrets that make her question everything about the life they built together. And just below the surface is a truth that may set Aimee free…or shatter her forever.
I have mixed emotions finishing this book. I loved some sections, disliked others, liked the main characters and then wanted to slap them for being so stupid. I had no trouble slipping into this book. I was captivated by Aimee's story and then intrigued by the mystery. It was a true rollercoaster of emotions.
Aimee's life is turned upside down when her fiancé is proclaimed dead after being missing for months. Gone are her dreams of marrying her childhood sweetheart, starting a family and maybe even opening a restaurant of her own. But moving on with her life is hard when she has doubts that James is truly dead.
The first two thirds of this book set up the mystery but then focused on the emotion of the story. We get to know Aimee and watch first her heartbreak and then as she slowly begins to recover from James' death. She opens her cafe. She also wants to start a new relationship but holds herself back as the doubts about James' disappearance refuse to stay silent. Scattered throughout are chapters from Aimee's childhood and youth. In these flashbacks, we get to experience her and James' friendship and their love story. It made the story and Aimee's loss that much more real.
Book Review: Clear To Lift
Clear To Lift – Anne A. Wilson – Forge Books – Published 12 July 2016
Navy helicopter pilot Lt. Alison Malone has been assigned to a search and rescue team based at Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada, near the rugged peaks of the Sierra Nevada, and far from her former elite H-60 squadron. A rule follower by nature, Alison is exasperated and outraged every time she flies with her mission commander, "Boomer" Marks, for whom military procedures are merely a suggestion. Alison is desperate to be transferred out of the boonies, where careers stagnate, and back to her life and fiancé in San Diego.
Alison's defenses start to slip when she meets mountain guide Will Cavanaugh during a particularly dicey mission. Will introduces her to a wild, beautiful world of adventure that she has never known before. Stranded on a mountain during a sudden dangerous blizzard, Alison questions every truth she thought she knew about herself. When Will braves the storm to save her life, she must confront the fact that she has been living a lie. But is it too late to change course?
Set amongst the beautiful Sierra Nevada landscape, Clear To Lift is a compelling story of adventure, love, family and self-discovery. The tension, both romantic and life-and-death-danger, leaps off the page, drawing you into this epic story. It is unforgettable, addictive and just so much fun! With vibrant characters, a strong and relatable heroine, blizzards, storms, unexploded bombs, a gorgeous Labrador search and rescue dog, doughnuts and a very ruggedly handsome mountain guide, this book has everything I needed to make it unputdownable. I loved it.
I've got to say I was a little worried that Clear To Lift wouldn't live up to the very high expectations that reading Hover, Anne A. Wilson's first book, created. I shouldn't have worried. Clear To Lift met all those expectations and more. I was biting my nails after the danger-laden first chapter and couldn't wipe the grin off my face after the second. I love the world that Wilson creates. The team banter and comradery, the tension during a mission, and the times they let off steam is all so real you feel like you are strapped into the H-1 helicopter right along with the crew.

Q: How should I store employee data with Azure AD? I am setting up a new company and we are using Azure AD. We are remote-first and cloud-only. We do not and will not have an on-premises Active Directory controller.
How is it recommended to store employee data such as birthday, hire date, and social security number? It is unclear how to extend the schema. When I try to fetch a birth date using the Graph API, I get "Error message: This operation target is not yet supported.". When I extend the schema using "External Identities -> Custom User Attributes", I don't see a way to edit those inside the Azure AD portal.
My administrative interface is a Java application built using the Microsoft Graph API. It works fine for the standard fields (e.g., displayName, givenName, surname, etc.).
I am currently integrated with a PostgreSQL database in Azure using the authentication that works against the Azure AD API. That works fine and I can put employee metadata there, but is is not clear if I should.

A: We can store the employee data like birthday and hire date in azure AD through couple of ways.
One way is to use azure ad connect (if you have on premise active directory) and the other way is using schema extensions. You need to use Microsoft Graph API to work with azure ad schema extension, there is no direct option to extend the schema from azure portal.
Please follow the steps in this doc to Create schemaExtension
Schema extensions are supported for following resource types.
1.contact
2.device
3.event on a user or Microsoft 365 group calendar
4.post of a Microsoft 365 group
5.group
6.message
7.organization
8.user user resource type
Here is the  reference article written by @Toni PohI, About Azure AD schema extension Working with Azure AD schema extensions and Microsoft Graph

A: Using AAD Connect you can flow an extension attribute from AD to the MV attribute employeeHireDate which will export successfully to AAD.
Make sure your extension attribute uses Generalized-Time syntax. These dates are strings in the format "YYYYMMDDhhmmss.0Z".
Then create an inbound sync rule to populate employeeHireDate

This will flow to AAD. This was completed with AAD Connect Version: 2.1.16.0

The Origins of Comics: From William Hogarth to Winsor McCay (Hardcover)
By Thierry Smolderen, Bart Beaty (Translator), Nick Nguyen (Translator)
In The Origins of Comics: From William Hogarth to Winsor McCay, Thierry Smolderen presents a cultural landscape whose narrative differs in many ways from those presented by other historians of the comic strip. Rather than beginning his inquiry with the popularly accepted sequential art definition of the comic strip, Smolderen instead wishes to engage with the historical dimensions that inform that definition. His goal is to understand the processes that led to the twentieth-century comic strip, the highly recognizable species of picture stories that he sees crystallizing around 1900 in the United States.
Featuring close readings of the picture stories, caricatures, and humoristic illustrations of William Hogarth, Rodolphe T pffer, Gustave Dor , and their many contemporaries, Smolderen establishes how these artists were immersed in a very old visual culture in which images--satirical images in particular--were deciphered in a way that was often described as hieroglyphical. Across eight chapters, he acutely points out how the effect of the printing press and the mass advent of audiovisual technologies (photography, audio recording, and cinema) at the end of the nineteenth century led to a new twentieth-century visual culture. In tracing this evolution, Smolderen distinguishes himself from other comics historians by following a methodology that explains the present state of the form of comics on the basis of its history, rather than presenting the history of the form on the basis of its present state. This study remaps the history of this influential art form.

Because the ketogenic diet alters the body's metabolism, it is a first-line therapy in children with certain congenital metabolic diseases such as pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) deficiency and glucose transporter 1 deficiency syndrome,[35] which prevent the body from using carbohydrates as fuel, leading to a dependency on ketone bodies. The ketogenic diet is beneficial in treating the seizures and some other symptoms in these diseases and is an absolute indication.[36] However, it is absolutely contraindicated in the treatment of other diseases such as pyruvate carboxylase deficiency, porphyria, and other rare genetic disorders of fat metabolism.[9] Persons with a disorder of fatty acid oxidation are unable to metabolise fatty acids, which replace carbohydrates as the major energy source on the diet. On the ketogenic diet, their bodies would consume their own protein stores for fuel, leading to ketoacidosis, and eventually coma and death.[37]
So here's the deal. There is some good scientific evidence suggesting that circadian rhythm fasting, when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle, can be a particularly effective approach to weight loss, especially for people at risk for diabetes. (However, people with advanced diabetes or who are on medications for diabetes, people with a history of eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should not attempt intermittent fasting unless under the close supervision of a physician who can monitor them.)
The ketogenic diet is a mainstream dietary therapy that was developed to reproduce the success and remove the limitations of the non-mainstream use of fasting to treat epilepsy.[Note 2] Although popular in the 1920s and '30s, it was largely abandoned in favour of new anticonvulsant drugs.[1] Most individuals with epilepsy can successfully control their seizures with medication. However, 20–30% fail to achieve such control despite trying a number of different drugs.[9] For this group, and for children in particular, the diet has once again found a role in epilepsy management.[1][10]
It all depends on you. Researchers suspect that the 16:8 diet isn't quite as effective for weight loss as more extreme forms of fasting, like alternate-day fasting. On the other hand, studies suggest that alternate-day fasting doesn't produce better weight loss results compared to daily calorie restriction. Plus, eating only every other day is very restrictive and can be tougher to stick to.
Grazing between meals used to be on the weight-loss hit list. But nutritionists now know that it's better to satisfy a craving with healthy grub than ignore it and risk a junk-food binge later. The best picks are filling, protein-packed snacks, such as one stick of string cheese, a tablespoon of peanut butter on a piece of fruit, or a medium-size bowl of edamame.
There are a lot of food myths I used to eat up, but it turns out breakfast isn't the most important meal of the day (no data actually proves that it makes you healthier or thinner), eating frequently doesn't necessarily boost your metabolism (with a constant supply of carbs circulating through your system, your body can't burn fat) and, contrary to popular opinion, hunger pangs don't automatically lead to overeating. I used to answer the call of cravings like I spring to the ding of a text—often and with urgency—but fasting taught me how to be comfortable with the discomfort of hunger. Now I think of pangs like I think of my mother: Sometimes overbearing, always opinionated, but their alarm bell advice isn't always right or even warranted. What helped? Coffee, tea, keeping a schedule (see above) and knowing that hunger is just a sensation that comes and goes. Just make sure you don't take it too far, because intermittent fasting doesn't mean you should be starving yourself.
Sleep enough – for most people at least seven hours per night on average – and keep stress under control. Sleep deprivation and stress hormones raise blood sugar levels, slowing ketosis and weight loss a bit. Plus they might make it harder to stick to a keto diet, and resist temptations. So while handling sleep and stress will not get you into ketosis on it's own, it's still worth thinking about.
I'll share some of my experiences, now doing heavy strength training for 3 years in a fasted state: For my first "fasted" workout or two after starting an IF protocol, it was very weird to not eat before training. However, after a few sessions, I learned that my body could certainly function (and even thrive) during my training sessions despite not eating a pre-workout meal.
In 1921, Rollin Turner Woodyatt reviewed the research on diet and diabetes. He reported that three water-soluble compounds, β-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone (known collectively as ketone bodies), were produced by the liver in otherwise healthy people when they were starved or if they consumed a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet.[10] Dr. Russell Morse Wilder, at the Mayo Clinic, built on this research and coined the term "ketogenic diet" to describe a diet that produced a high level of ketone bodies in the blood (ketonemia) through an excess of fat and lack of carbohydrate. Wilder hoped to obtain the benefits of fasting in a dietary therapy that could be maintained indefinitely. His trial on a few epilepsy patients in 1921 was the first use of the ketogenic diet as a treatment for epilepsy.[10]
Islam engages in a fasting practice reflective of intermittent fasting in terms of both food consumption and diet consistency.[11] The duration of the Ramadan fast is between 28 and 30 days, depending on the year, and consists of not eating or drinking from sunrise until sunset.[11] During the holiday, Muslims eat twice per day: once in the morning before dawn and once in the evening after dusk.[11] A meta-analysis on the health of Muslims during Ramadan shows significant weight loss during the fasting period of up to 1.51 kilograms (3.3 lb), but this weight was regained within about two weeks of Ramadan ending.[17] The analysis concluded that "Ramadan provides an opportunity to lose weight, but structured and consistent lifestyle modifications are necessary to achieve lasting weight loss."[17] Negative effects of Ramadan fasting include increased risk of hypoglycemia in diabetics as well as inadequate levels of certain nutrients.[11]
Back to fasting: growth hormone is increased during fasted states (both during sleep [6]and after a period of fasting). Combine this increased growth hormone secretion:[7], the decrease in insulin production (and thus increase in insulin sensitivity [8]), and you're essentially priming your body for muscle growth and fat loss with intermittent fasting.
While the 16:8 diet seems like a great way to drop weight fast, it does have some cons. Sarah Mirkin, RD, author of Fill Your Plate, Lose the Weight, a 21-day meal plan designed to help women over 40 lose weight, says, "I think that it limits food intake to such a small window of time that it's difficult for someone to meet their nutritional needs."
Over 8–10 mmol/l: It's normally impossible to get to this level just by eating a keto diet. It means that something is wrong. The most common cause by far is type 1 diabetes, with severe lack of insulin. Symptoms include feeling very sick with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and confusion. The possible end result, ketoacidosis, may be fatal and requires immediate medical care. Learn more

clock
-----

A clock takes any number of strings and sends them at a somewhat consistent rate
on a channel. You can specify a tick interval and a cycle duration to control
how long it takes for the full set of keys to be cycled through. For example, if
you use an interval of 1 second and a cycle time of 1 minute and add 120 keys,
the clock will send a string on Channel 120 times per minute (2 per second on
average).

Any given key will always be placed at the same position on the clock as long as
the interval and cycle remain the same.

The clock can be stopped and started at any time.

```go

Bryan Cranston in Conversation With David Edelstein, Tribeca TV Festival 2018
Bryan Cranston, Davie Edelstein in Conversation, Tribeca TV Festival, 2018, Tribeca Talks (Carole Di Tosti)
Bryan Cranston, one of the most versatile actors of his generation, spoke with David Edelstein (film critic New York Magazine) in a Q and A during the 2018 Tribeca TV Festival. They discussed salient points about his high-velocity career on TV, film, and stage. Always interesting and vibrant Cranston, spoke about acting considerations and the process. Notably, he attributes his success to hard work and luck. Obviously, Cranston's passion melded with humility drives him with the knowledge that he must continually be in learning mode. This attitude pays off. For at this point he excels at whatever task he endeavors. Cranston's quietly forged, dogged determination shines a beacon even for established actors, producers and directors.
When Cranston made a showing in films like Little Miss Sunshine (2006), he already had found a home on the small screen. Notably, his TV credits amass from appearances beginning in "One Life to Live." As he took acting classes, he accomplished parts on various TV series. And shows like Raising Miranda (1988) and Matlock (1987, 1991) gave him longer stints. Work begets work and for longer work periods. Various films and TV series crossed his path like the TV Mini Series Macross Plus (1994) and The Louie Show (1996).
Bryan Cranston, Tribeca Talks, Tribeca TV Festival 2018 (Carole Di Tosti)
After two decades, he began to strike gold. As Dr. Tim Whatley on Seinfeld, he made an indelible mark. And as the amiable dad, Hal on Malcolm in the Middle (2006), cultural phrases sprang from his character portrayal. Thus, his hard work cemented the bricks of experience to build a fortress of a career. This fortress enabled him to weather world wide acclaim. And it allowed him to possess the grace within to receive the numerous accolades for subsequent one-of-a-kind portrayals.
Who can imagine the character of Walter White in Breaking Bad without Cranston? White, so incredibly fleshed out by Cranston, will live in our cultural memory for decades. Morphing from a "Goodbye Mr. Chips" teacher to drug empire maker "Scarface," Cranston pulled every range of emotions from his acting toolkit. Through the show's seasons, he won numerous awards. Cranston's power grid solidified. The starpower gained from his four time Emmy success, enabled him to become one of the producers during the series' fourth and fifth seasons. And he won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series twice.
Ever since, Cranston has been on a roll swallowing up experiences to learn all aspects of "the business" he obviously loves. Reviewing the decades long arc of his career reveals that marvelous events come to those who "put in the time" and "make the most" of opportunity's breakwaters. In 2014, Cranston won the Tony Award for his portrayal of Lyndon B. Johnson in Broadway's All the Way. Subsequently, having created his production company Moonshot Entertainment, he reprised the role for the HBO adaptation of the same name.
Bryan Cranston, Edelstein, Tribeca Talks, Tribeca TV Festival 2018 (Carole Di Tosti)
During the conversation Cranston discussed how his teenage years and personality gave him the juice to create characters in a TV series he co-created and co-produces i.e. Sneaky Pete. The exceptional casting stars Giovanni Ribisi and currently moves through its second season. Cranston mentioned that as a teen he manifested a "sneakiness." But his life took another turn away from "true crime," and becoming an LAPD officer which he had been working toward in college. His direction switched when he took Acting Class as an elective. Nevertheless, he used the behaviors (lying, cover-ups), and that M.O. to create characters and story. As the positive reviews flow in Season 2, Sneaky Pete remains fresh, bold and smart. And as Cranston enjoys mixing up expectations, they've added conflicts and developments that do not allow the protagonist to breathe any relief from his own self-inflicted lying machinations.
Cranston clarified that success builds upon success. As a result his company developed various television series along with Sneaky Pete, in The Dangerous Book for Boys, and Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams for Amazon. Included is the Emmy-nominated animated series SuperMansion for Sony/Crackle. The foundation of incredible effort built throughout his career remains stalwart. For indeed the vicissitudes happened upon him in Cranston's early years, a factor he referred to during the conversation. However, all events in one's life provide acting and storytelling grist. Though painful, they can be culled and transformed into art.

This year Cranston was nominated for a 2018 Emmy for his guest-starring role as Larry's therapist on Curb Your Enthusiasm. And after coming off a sold-out, award-winning run in London, Cranston stars on Broadway as Howard Beale in Paddy Chayefsky's ever timely Network by Lee Hall, adapted from the film script. I had tried to see the production in London at the National Theatre in December when I visited the UK. The production was sold out and for good cause. Cranston's performance was spot-on. He won the 2018 Critics' Circle Theatre Award for Best Actor. He was nominated for the WhatsOnStage Award for Best Actor in a Play. Also, he won the 2018 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor.
Like many actors, Cranston does not read reviews of his work. He stated that the reviews if negative or positive could impact how he works the character through his own acting instrument. He took many acting classes over the years and left when he received continual praise. Interestingly, Cranston felt he needed to learn more. And if he plateaued in a class, the time had ripened to move on and pick up another tool for his acting kit. Being his own coach and critic, reviews provided nothing useful. Indeed, onstage, the interaction with the audience changes a performance nightly. He mentioned new ideas and a reliance on imagination which infuse the evocation of a character. Being in the moment is paramount.
Some interesting points that Cranston made concerned acting. He remarked that actors must give in to their impulses. Indeed, he said, "The more I do that and get off kilter from the norm, the better." He added that if one "does make a mistake, one apologizes and if one's life is clean, the mistakes will be minor."
Edelson bounced back with the adage about the difference between greater and lesser actors. He suggested that "the greater actors are not afraid to appear foolish." Cranston concurred. And he added that actors must take risks. He cited the quote, "You're only as good as you dare to be bad."

Taking chances Cranston credits to be a vital part of great acting. Inherent with good performers is the prerequisite that actors have to be willing to take chances. Not only does this refer to physical chances, but emotional ones. According to Cranston, actors put themselves in emotional jeopardy often. He explained, "When you go through a process like that, your body does not know the different between acting and real life. If I'm putting myself in a position where I'm weeping or heaving with upset, anger or fear, my body does not know I'm acting."
And Cranston continued about the sacrifices of actors when expressing dense emotion. "Your body can be shaking. It takes a while to come down from that. It can be exhausting but also exhilarating."
Edelson referenced that Cranston doesn't show an image persona and one that remains private. Indeed, the public has seen actors who are schizoid. Sometimes they manifest the artificial "show biz" personality and the separate family or off screen persona. As a compliment, Edelson remarked that Cranston appears measured, relaxed, himself with no difference between public and private individual. He joked that Cranston didn't appear to have schisms. Cranston used this praise to quip, "Oh, I got a lot of schisms."
However, the conversation came back around to the work. Cranston reinforced that he is not one to stand around at parties schmoozing, drink in hand "yelling" above the music and din of people talking. He said he didn't think the atmosphere seemed conducive to making a connection with anyone. He proclaimed, "I'm not good at that." He also commented that while he has a tremendous amount of energy, he prefers saving it for those things that he wants to do.
In effect he must husband the enthusiasm and grist he does have for projects. Clearly, he has other irons in the fire that he will use to continue to work on that fortress of a career.
See Bryan Cranston on Broadway in Network before the tickets are sold out. Most likely the production and Cranston will be up for additional awards in the US, including a Tony.
