Theatre Review: An Officer And a Gentleman - King's Theatre, Glasgow ✭✭✭½
Review by Sharman Prince
Once most new musicals were based on pre-existing plays and/or novels but nowadays the trend leans towards adapting motion picture titles and one of the newest is An Officer And A Gentleman based on the 1982 film starring Richard Gere. This is actually the third musical version following a Japanese adaptation in 2010 and an Australian production in 2012 which featured an original score whereas this new tour utilises pre-existing songs.
Zack Mayo is one of a new group of US Navy trainees who face several obstacles before achieving their dream of graduating - none more formidable than drill sergeant Emil Foley. On top of all that romance materialises for Zack and his friend Sid in the form of local factory workers Paula Pokrifki and Lynette Pomeroy who only add to their turbulent experiences.
As a piece of stage work this adaptation's book by Douglas Day Stewart (writer of the original film) and Sharleen Cooper Cohen requires tightening and it is to director Nikolai Foster's credit that he elects to bring out the humour of the script whilst creating some strong moments onstage - including the simple yet rousing finale.
Michael Taylor's set design has some strong elements but does become bland at times and the lighting of Ben Cracknell is likewise a bit hit and miss with chaotic choices existing alongside more refined options. Sadly the sound design also requires tinkering with as it was nigh impossible at times to hear the vocals above the incredibly loud - though proficient - band. The orchestrations by George Dyer are first-rate and the choice of songs is pretty well on the mark though some are not as organic to the plot as others. Regardless the musical numbers are incredibly enjoyable and bring intense energy to the production.
Once again Foster has assembled a fine ensemble led by Jonny Fines as "Zack Mayo" and Emma Williams as "Paula Pokrifki" both of whom possess tremendous vocals and stage presence. They also share a palpable chemistry that is essential to the story. Ian McIntosh ("Sid Worley") and Jessica Daley ("Lynette Pomeroy") are equally as enjoyable especially as their story-line comes to a head. Ray Shell is a huge presence within the show and is on fine form as the domineering "Emil Foley" and he is clearly enjoying himself onstage whilst the company as a whole ably rise above the limitations of the libretto.
Though somewhat lacking as a piece of stage drama An Officer And A Gentleman is still enjoyable fun - if only for the dynamic performances of the various rock and pop songs by the superb cast.
An Officer and A Gentleman is at the King's Theatre Glasgow until Saturday 15 September. For tickets and information visit the King's Theatre.

Archbishop Cupich has written to the LGBT community of Chicago, announcing that they should "know this: the Archdiocese of Chicago stands with you. I stand with you."
He's asking, whether or not he realizes it, for the bishops to recognize and tacitly endorse the sexual identities promoted by the LGBT Community—identities bound up fundamentally with the gender ideology promoted by the Community.
This, of course, would be deeply misleading on the part of the bishops, since the Church cannot endorse this ideology. It would also be an evangelical failure, and a failure of charity.
I think that Cdl. Francis George might have been mistaken when he referred to the fate of his sucessor - if persecution comes the Bishop of Chicago will do just fine.

Two women entered, but only one could walk out the winner 🙏 @PhogatRitu #WeAreONE #ONEChampionship #AgeOfDragons pic.twitter.com/HpU861se5o
— ONE Championship (@ONEChampionship) November 17, 2019
Ritu switched from wrestling to the combat sport in February this year and has been training at Evolve MMA facility in Singapore. She is also learning Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing - the combination that is part of the combat sport. Her decision to ditch wrestling - the sport that brought fame to her family and especially her father was a courageous one. She had decided to venture into uncharted waters and take up something different than her other five sisters.
Ritu was a strong medal contender for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, but she had other plans for herself. She dropped her illustrious career that included Asian and Commonwealth gold medals and moved to Singapore to learn a completely new art form. However, her wrestling lessons came in handy in her first MMA bout.
"It didn't feel any different than all the wrestling bouts I had competed in. I was just thinking about doing what I had been taught. And my wrestling set up my match perfectly," she said after her victory.
Ritu is already has a wishlist, which includes a MMA championship belt. "I want to win a World Championship belt for India. I want to be the first in mixed martial arts to win that for my country," she said after overcoming her first hurdle in MMA.
Her coach Drian Francisco said, "Ritu was very good today. But to win a title you can't be good, you have to be perfect." He added, "She has improved so much from where she started out but we need to see Ritu fight another four or five bouts and then we can see whether she is ready to fight for a title."
Like her father Mahavir Phogat, she believes that this only the beginning.
"I'm not going to take a break after this win. I'm going to go right back to Singapore and start training once again. There is so much for me to learn. I have to keep getting better," she said.

Creators bundle nearly 500 tabletop RPGs for $5 to support trans rights in Texas
The Itch.io hosted bundle has already raised over double its initial goal for two Texas organisations.
Designers within the tabletop RPG community have banded together to raise funds for trans children and families affected by recent declarations by the Texas executive branch. The TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas bundle gathers 493 games, adventures and supplements for $5 (£3.74), and all proceeds will be split between two organisations offering legal action and direct aid within the state.
The bundle is hosted by indie designer Rue in partnership with games and merch publisher Hit Points Press with an initial goal of raising $5,000. As of time of publication, the ticker had crossed the $11,000 mark after only hours being live - the bundle will remain available throughout all of March.
All funds raised through sale of the bundle will go to educational and legal advocacy group Transgender Education Network of Texas and Organización Latina de Trans en Texas, a non-profit providing direct aid to trans Texans in the form of housing and food but also directly supporting immigrants and the Latine population facing risks of discrimination, imprisonment and deportation.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a legal directive on Feb. 22nd ordering the state's Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate cases of gender affirming care - primarily puberty blockers and hormone treatment - to Texan youths, describing it as "abusive gender-transitioning procedures". Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton declared the treatments, which he wrongly identified as "sex change procedures", as child abuse under Texas law in a Feb. 21st letter.
Legal experts and dissenting public officials said this order seeks to punish the parents of trans children for supporting them, empowering DFPS to separate families and cut off necessary medical care to Texan teens and children. The ACLU filed a lawsuit against Governor Abott and the DFPS on March 1st, directly challenging the order and characterising it as "lawless and dangerous."
"Trans children are extremely vulnerable, and the actions of the Texas government will put them and any supportive loved ones in danger," Rue writes in the bundle's description. "Providing funds to trans advocacy groups and support networks helps keep trans folx afloat in Texas."
The bundle contains work from 1,148 contributors and runs the gamut of genre and form. John Harper's Agon, a game of mythopoetic roleplay where names are literally power, is included alongside the all-ages Inspirisles, which features a magic system powered by sign language and designed to promote deaf awareness.
Possum Creek Game's breakout hit Wanderhome can be found within the hundreds of available titles, as well. The pastoral fantasy RPG centres post-war stories where anthropomorphic travellers seek to understand their place in a world that is learning to live with the scars of the past. Those looking to read about tabletop RPGs will be interested in the first two issues of Wyrd Science magazine and its collections of criticism, reviews and exploration of the scene's most interesting games.
The TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas bundle can be found on its Itch.io page, which includes links to the two organisations benefiting from the funds alongside more information about the collaborators.

I'm using SWP 5.5 under 64 bit Windows 7.
I'm generating some *.png and .eps 3D plots using Matplotlib and Python/NumPy/SciPy. The plots look great on screen in SWP, and they look great in TrueTeX both on screen and when printed. However, they look horrendously ugly in PDF preview and on paper from PDF print.
The .eps graphics will have to be converted before they can be included in the PDF file. SW does this automatically with third party graphics filters included. However, sometimes the conversion can give bad results. Using a different graphics format or sometimes even opening and resaving the graphics using some graphics program can create graphics that the conversion filters can handle correctly.
The graphics types .png and .jpg can be handled directly when typesetting for PDF, but graphics can get run through the conversion filters even when they don't need to be. The conversion filters don't do the best job in some cases. Here are steps that should prevent the conversion when it isn't needed.
- In the PDF Graphics Export Options dialog, turn off the check box in front of "Copy unchanged graphics to destination directory" .
should have it's value changed from the default of 0.075 to 2. You can do this using the regedit program. OBLIGITORY WARNING: Directly making changes to the registry can be dangerous. A change in the wrong part of the registry can cause errors, even to the extent where Windows must be reinstalled. If you don't already know how to use a registry editor program to make the change, you probably shouldn't attempt to make the change.
These changes should cause the original graphics to be used when creating the PDF file. If the graphics is being resized, it can still go through the conversion filter, so you might want to recreate the graphics in the correct size using an external graphics program.
If you followed the steps, then the .png graphics would be directly included in the resulting PDF file. You can check that this is happening by using Typeset, Output Choice, selecting PDF Output, and then saving the document. Inspect the saved .tex file in a text editor and the \includegraphics statement would refer directly to the graphics rather than to a generated graphics.
Thanks a lot! Excellent answer, as always.
I think I need some personal tuition here. I cannot produce a pdf output that produces graphics, despite following all recommendations.
I can only use Microsoft print to pdf from the dvi output and that pdf is a huge 200meg file, and like an image file with no pdf search features. I cannot distribute my thesis and I have tried all the pdf advice.
It always seems to be something in the Linda Gilbert settings that brings me unstuck.
Sorry, but there's no information in your message to suggest why you are not having success.
You should be able to compile for DVI or PDF and see equivalent results. Using the normal techniques, I can't guess why graphics are appearing in DVI but not in PDF. Post a sample document that shows this, along with the graphics you are using (save as .rap to bundle the .tex and graphics into the same file). You should probably also include the .log file from your PDF compile (save the document before previewing and the .log will be saved in the same directory with the .tex and .pdf files).
Probably best to post a top level message since what you describe so far doesn't match exactly with this thread.

Morrisons cuts 1,600 jobs
By wpengine	 10th January 2006 No Comments
Approximately 1,600 jobs have been axed at Morrisons after the supermarket chain closed two depots in Aylesford and Bristol.
Approximately 1,600 jobs have been axed at Morrisons after the supermarket chain confirms the closure of three depots in Aylesford, Warrington and Bristol. Morrisons has confirmed the closures of the depots following a review of its distribution network.
Morrisons is shutting the sites because it has more depots than it needs to supply its stores following its £3bn purchase of Safeway.
In December the company closed its depot in Warrington with the loss of 700 jobs, but the threat of strike action by the GMB and TGWU unions forced the company into offering an enhanced redundancy package.
In Morrisons Christmas sales update, the supermarket saw solid sales growth over both the Christmas and New Year period. Total sales of the 380 stores in the Group during this period increased by 6.1%. They reported that like for like sales were up by 4.4%, reflecting the success of the Safeway conversion programme which was concluded in November 2005.
In its sales update, Morrisons also confirmed that redundancy costs are expected to be around £60 million. .

Eat less saturated fats. Cut back on fatty meats, high-fat dairy, cakes, cookies, and butter. This includes pizza, burgers, and foods with creamy sauce or gravy.
Get more fiber. Eat vegetables, fruits, and whole grains to add fiber to your diet.
The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times (two servings) a week. Each serving is 3.5 ounce cooked, or about ¾ cup of flaked fish. Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
Increasing omega-3 fatty acid consumption through foods is preferable. However, those with coronary artery disease, may not get enough omega-3 by diet alone. These people may want to talk to their doctor about supplements. And for those with high triglycerides, even larger doses could help.
Patients taking more than 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids from capsules should do so only under a physician's care. High intakes could cause excessive bleeding in some people.
If you're interested in CBD oil, you're trying to learn more of the benefits of the product. You're not reading this to become a biology major or to create flashcards about the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) or the many compounds that work with the ECS to control different functions of the body. At best, you just want to find a way to find relief that doesn't involve living in a fantasy world.
It's probably why some articles are frustrating to read when it comes to scientific explanations. Some are far too general, while others treat you like you have a freshly minted PhD in molecular biology! But there are ways to break it down so that you can actually get a firm grasp on how it all works. Use this as your basic guide to getting started with CBD oil.
There are two major parts of the cannabis plant: THC and CBD. THC causes the stereotypical giddy feelings while CBD does not. CBD may make you feel more relaxed, but it won't interfere with your mental capacity or bodily functions. There are lots of strains of cannabis, each with its own concentration of compounds. You don't necessarily have to learn them all if you're not planning to go into the industry.
CBD is used most often to treat anxiety and depression, though the wonders definitely don't end there. CBD serves as an anti-inflammatory that works with different parts of the brain to create harmony within our often turbulent cells. The potential of CBD seems unlimited, even if research most certainly is not.
Run away screaming from anyone who tells you they have all of the answers about CBD. It just isn't possible because the research is incomplete at absolute best. However, the research we do have to go on is either good or neutral. The same goes for reports of people who take CBD oil — either they love it or they're neutral to it. The World Health Organization (WHO) has found no threats to the product, and the FDA should be right behind them. (Although that's a whole other can of worms.) To fully understand CBD oil, we're going to need a lot more controlled studies that truly delve into the nature of the oil.
Side effects of CBD oil few and far between, and they're generally reported as very mild. Dry mouth, lightheadedness, and lowered blood pressure are all on the list, and CBD may interfere with the efficacy of certain liver medications. These mild reactions are not only rare, they're also nothing compared to side effects of legal drugs (which may include death.) And though it affects each person differently, most people find the benefits to far outweigh any side effects they feel.
CBD oil isn't exactly cheap, but the prices reflect a few basic things about it. One is for fairly obvious reasons: it does work. The demand for CBD is popping up all over the world, especially amongst people who are tired of the side effects they've been experiencing due to prescription medications. That demand isn't popping up because it's the equivalent of a sugar pill. Organic CBD oil is a completely natural way to treat a variety of conditions that appeal to people from every walk of life. But CBD oil also needs to be fully extracted from the plant, which is a laborious process. To truly 'weed' out the THC from the CBD oil, it takes time and skilled labor. As with everything in life, you get what you pay for.

Barriers and perspectives for the expansion of wind farms in BRAZIL

The use of renewable sources for electricity generation has as main benefits the preservation of natural resources, security in the distribution of electricity and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Research has shown that the participation of wind in the Brazilian electrical matrix has increased considerably in recent years, despite the existence of multiple barriers to the implementation of wind farms in the country. This study aims to identify and evaluate the current barriers to the expansion of wind farms in Brazil, suggesting ways to overcome them. Based on a systematic review of the literature, the evaluation of the complexity level and associated risk, the barriers were categorized into seven groups. The results indicated that four barriers are more relevant in relation to the expansion of wind farms in Brazil: unstable macroeconomic environment, government policy uncertainty, system constraints, and lack of infrastructure. On this basis, apart from the recent growth of wind energy in Brazil, actions must be taken to mitigate the identified barriers, as the most complex barriers need government intervention to be removed or mitigated, since the electricity market is highly regulated and complex in Brazil. Further research is needed to rank and analyze more deeply the barriers that were identified here, through interviews with stakeholders and visits to wind farms.

The second PlayLink game I played at EGX (Wordhunters being the first), Chimparty offered an entirely different experience and was really rather fun, if not particularly spectacular.
Using phones as our controller we threw in a picture of ourselves (what is it with PlayLink and taking pictures of yourself?) and selected our chimp, ready to do battle. The mode we played was Board Game mode, which tasked you with getting around a board game by playing a variety of minigames in a very Mario Party kind of way. The stars you win in the games determine how far you can move up the board to the ultimate goal of erm, sitting on a sofa.
These minigames can vary from attempting to get balls into goals, throwing your monkey into a slingshot to see how far it goes with the furthest winning the game, using your colour to paint an area the most over everyone else and much more. The humour comes from not knowing exactly what you're doing at any given momet, and randomly pressing the great big single button on your phone screen. You can't miss it. It's really big.
The game is clearly designed for party nights and it was certainly good fun, with a variety of minigames, the simple controls (though they can be awkward, particularly when your chimp is consistently spinning and you have to hold down the button on your touch screen to get them to move in a desired direction, never really feeling like you're in control) which allow you to jump, float, run and more. The visuals are bright and breezy, particularly the animation of the chimps themselves is terrific.
Throughout my playthrough I noticed that I could customise my chimp with a bunch of hats, shoes and accessories that I've been unlocking throughout the game. That's a nice touch though in the heat of the game it seems like that would have completely passed me by had I not noticed it myself. I got the feeling the PlayStation rep just wanted to get the demo over with so I ignored it. Hopefully I can get a better look when the game is on my console at home.
I feel like I had played it all before though. PlayLink is very smart and Sony have been choosing some decent games to showcase the tech, but as I was playing Chimparty I didn't feel like it was all that different from Frantics, the PlayLink party title from last year. Arguably, that's a better game and Chimparty doesn't seem to be doing enough to differentiate itself, which isn't all that encouraging. It's definitely fun and Sean and I had a good laugh outdoing each other and jumping over our chimp avatars on the board to claim first place but I didn't think all that much about it for the rest of the day.
In terms of the new class of PlayLink titles that were on display, Wordhunters had the edge for me. Chimparty will no doubt be a good game upon its arrival but at least from what I played at EGX, you're going to struggle to find anything it does that Frantics doesn't do better.
Chimparty is available on November 14th on PS4.


Legendary stuntwoman Kitty O'Neil died Friday in South Dakota at the age of 72, according to multiple reports.
The stuntwoman lost her hearing when she was 5 months old after she contracted measles and smallpox, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She told People in 1977 she learned to read lips.
"My mother pushed me to read lips but she didn't push me in sports — I did that myself," she said. "Because I was deaf, I had a very positive mental attitude. You have to show people you can do anything."
O'Neil performed a number of stunts, including the time she plunged headfirst from a hotel to an airbag near the pool.
"If I hadn't hit the center of the bag, I probably would have been killed," she told The Washington Post in 1979.
She made history when she set the land-speed record for women drivers in 1976. She still holds that record, the BBC reported.
O'Neil was so popular that she got her own Barbie doll and a television movie about her life: "Silent Victory: The Kitty O'Neil Story" in 1979. "West Wing" star Stockard Channing portrayed her in the film. In 1982 she retired from stunt work.
O'Neil died at Eureka Community Hospital in South Dakota of pneumonia, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Suspected Car Bomb Rocks Saudi Holy City of Medina by the Prophet's Mosque
By Tom McKay
An explosion of some kind, possibly a suicide attack or car bombing, rocked the area outside a mosque in the city of Medina in Saudi Arabia on Monday, the BBC reported.
According to the news agency, no casualties have yet been reported, though another bomb blast was reported earlier in the day in the city of Qatif. CNN India reported up to two people are believed to be dead following the explosions.
The BBC reported the explosion was outside al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque), the burial site of the Prophet Muhammad, although it reported Okaz newspaper said it may have been targeting security forces rather than worshipers.
Medina is the second holiest city in Islam, second only to Mecca, and the incident occurred two days before the month of Ramadan's most important day of observance, Eid al-Fitr.
Daily Sabah correspondent Ragip Soylu posted video from the site of the Medina attack, showing a large fire burning in what appeared to be a parking lot.
This is a breaking news story and may be updated as more information becomes available.

Brexit Update: Government publishes its White Paper on the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union
Elizabeth Wilson 14 July 2018 No comments
The Government has published its much anticipated White Paper this week on its proposed future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union after the UK's departure from the EU.
The White Paper sets out a blueprint for the deal that it is seeking, which it intends to use as the basis for the next round of negotiations with the EU on the Future Framework, alongside the Withdrawal Agreement, starting next week.
The proposal structures the future relationship around both an economic and a security partnership, underpinned by joint institutional and governance arrangements that would enable the UK and the EU to cooperate through regular dialogue and address issues as they arise.
Economic Partnership
When the UK leaves the EU on 29 March 2019, it will leave the Single Market and the Customs Union and free movement will end.
The new economic partnership between the UK and the EU includes the following key proposals:
A free trade area for goods. This would require a 'common rulebook' for manufactured goods, food and fisheries products, covering only those rules necessary to provide for frictionless trade at the border. This would avoid the need for a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Participation by the UK in EU agencies that provide authorisations for goods in highly regulated sectors i.e. the European Chemicals Agency, the European Aviation Safety Agency and the European Medicines Agency, accepting these agencies' rules and contributing to their costs.
A new 'Facilitated Customs Arrangement' as if the UK and EU were a combined customs territory, removing the need for UK-EU customs checks and controls. In conjunction with 'no tariffs on any goods', integrated supply chains across the UK and EU would be protected.
New trading arrangements on services and digital, including e-commerce, that would provide the UK with regulatory freedom for the services-based economy. The UK and EU would not, however, enjoy current levels of access to each other's markets.
New economic and regulatory arrangements for financial services that would preserve the mutual benefits of integrated markets, whilst allowing the UK and EU to control access to their own markets. It is noted that these would not replicate the EU's passporting regimes.
Continued cooperation on energy and transport, including preserving the Single Electricity Market in Northern Ireland and Ireland.
An open and fair trading environment, committing to a common rulebook for state aid, establishing cooperative arrangements between regulators on competition and agreeing to maintain high standards in areas including employment rules and the environment.
Free movement of people to be replaced by a new framework allowing the UK Government and Parliament to determine the domestic immigration rules that will apply.
Reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU in a defined number of areas. Proposals include:
supporting businesses to provide services and to move their talented people;
allowing UK and EU citizens to continue to travel without a visa to each other's countries for tourism and short-term business trips; and,
facilitating mobility for students and young people.
Security Partnership
The UK will no longer be part of the EU's common policies on foreign, defence, security, justice and home affairs.
The new security partnership that is proposed includes:
Participation by the UK in key agencies, including Europol and Eurojust, accepting these agencies' rules and contributing to their costs.
Maintaining existing operational capabilities to protect the UK and EU citizens' security, including law enforcement agencies' ability to share critical data and information to investigate serious criminality and terrorism.
Coordination on foreign policy, defence and development issues to tackle the most pressing global challenges together where it is more effective to work side-by-side.
Joint capability development of the UK and EU's military.
Wider cooperation on counter-terrorism, civil protection, cyber security, health security and tackling the causes of illegal immigration.
Other Areas of Cooperation
Outside the two core partnerships, the Government is proposing cooperation between the UK and the EU in the following key areas:
Personal data protection – facilitating the continued free flow of data to support business activity and security collaboration.
Fishing – establishing new arrangements for annual negotiations on access to waters.
Collective endeavours to better understand and improve people's lives worldwide – through cooperative accords for science and innovation, culture and education, development and international action, defence research development and space, with the UK making an appropriate financial contribution.
Institutional and Governance Arrangements
The Government is proposing joint institutional and governance arrangements to underpin the future relationship.
The arrangements would ensure that the new relationship is transparent and accountable, as well as flexible in that it is able to evolve and respond to changing circumstances.
These would include new forms of regular dialogue between UK and EU leaders and ministers, a clear process for updating rules in the common rulebooks and "robust and appropriate means for the resolution of disputes".
The resolution of disputes would take place through a Joint Committee, and in many areas through binding independent arbitration which would "accommodate" the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) as the interpreter of EU rules.
However, the CJEU would no longer have the power to make laws for the UK or to have the final say in disputes and the UK courts would pay due regard to EU case law in only those areas where the UK continued to apply a common rulebook.
The negotiations
The White Paper's concluding remarks are that "on the basis of the proposal set out in this White Paper, the UK's negotiating team will now engage with the EU's at pace".
However, with the current political noise around the proposal, it remains to be seen whether it will actually make it to the negotiating table.

Whether you've been eyeing a velvet sofa or just want to transition your home for colder weather, we've got you covered.
Velvet is a tricky fabric. Use too much and your home looks like the set of a period drama; select the wrong color and you're living in a bordello. Done correctly, however, velvet decor items create an elevated atmosphere that's ideal for cold-weather cuddling.
Considering that , more and more people are hoping to get it right. The key is choosing one – and just one – show-stopping piece that starts a conversation. Here are some elegant options.
A velvet chesterfield sofa a faux fur throw equals instant luxury.
A tufted velvet headboard in a bold solid anchors a layered bedroom.
Sweet dreams start with a sophisticated bed – and a cozy velvet duvet in a cotton candy color sure sets the mood.
To instantly winterize your living room, switch out your basic throw pillows with velvet ones.
Talk about vanity flair. For an über-feminine aesthetic, make your stool a velvet one.
Step up your entryway with an elegant bench in a regal jewel tone.
It's just a fact: A reading corner is nothing without a cozy armchair, and what's cozier than velvet?
Dark velvet curtains bring the drama – but if you don't want your apartment looking like a "Game of Thrones" set, keep the rest of the room light and airy.
When your seating is this swanky, you'll make excuses to use your dining room more than once a year.
Carrie Bradshaw would totally have a fabric ottoman in her office – and this one doubles as storage for blankets and pillows.


In only the latest cultural altercation between San Francisco's tech workers and the city's impoverished population, one tech worker has declared the homeless are "riff raff" whose "pain, struggle and despair" shouldn't have to be endured by "wealthy" people commuting to work.
It's a familiar story. A male entrepreneur (some might even call him a "tech bro") - flush with the sense of self-worth and self-satisfaction that comes from living and working in a city and industry that treats him and his friends as the most important and intelligent human beings ever to grace a metropolitan area with their presence - takes a moment to think about homelessness. Not content to wrinkle his nose and move on with his day, he types those thoughts out. He publishes them on the internet.
And, there, with the click of a button, he enters the pantheon of infamous San Francisco tech bros.
I am writing today, to voice my concern and outrage over the increasing homeless and drug problem that the city is faced with. I've been living in SF for over three years, and without a doubt it is the worst it has ever been. Every day, on my way to, and from work, I see people sprawled across the sidewalk, tent cities, human feces, and the faces of addiction. The city is becoming a shanty town ... Worst of all, it is unsafe.
Keller explained that he had been moved to action by his experience over the holiday weekend, when his parents and relatives came to visit. Three encounters with "a homeless drunken man" in the street, a "distraught, and high person" outside a restaurant, and a man who "took his shirt off and laid down" in a movie theater left him angry and frustrated with the city's homelessness "problem".
The residents of this amazing city no longer feel safe. I know people are frustrated about gentrification happening in the city, but the reality is, we live in a free market society. The wealthy working people have earned their right to live in the city. They went out, got an education, work hard, and earned it. I shouldn't have to worry about being accosted. I shouldn't have to see the pain, struggle, and despair of homeless people to and from my way to work every day. I want my parents when they come visit to have a great experience, and enjoy this special place.
I don't have a magic solution ... It is a very difficult and complex situation, but somehow during Super Bowl, almost all of the homeless and riff raff seem to up and vanish. I'm willing to bet that was not a coincidence. Money and political pressure can make change. So it is time to start making progress, or we as citizens will make a change in leadership and elect new officials who can.
After facing significant backlash against the post on Twitter, Keller appended an apology for his use of the term "riff-raff", writing that the word choice was "insensitive and counterproductive".
As of publication, however, he has not reached the next stage of the tech bro homeless rant cycle. First comes the deletion of the post. In 2013, startup founder Peter Shih deleted his 10 Things I Hate About You: San Francisco Edition rant from Medium after the backlash reached such a fevered pitch that posters featuring his photograph were posted on telephone poles around the city.
Next comes the apology tour. In 2015, startup CEO Greg Gopman attempted to make amends for his own anti-homeless screed (he described the homeless as "the lower part of society" and "degenerates [who] gather like hyenas" and bemoaned the "burden and liability [of] having them so close to us) by launching a program of his own to "solve" homelessness.
In an email to the Guardian, Keller said that he was writing an additional blog post about the issue.
"The thesis of the post was that inaction by the city and officials is not working. We all as citizens of San Francisco need to figure out how we can improve the city and address the homeless and drug addiction problem straight on," he said.
"I in no way meant to vilify homeless or drug users, my frustration was that we as citizens don't feel safe. The amount of violent crime is increasing, and it affects everybody. What specific measures is the city taking to proactively help the homeless and drug addicted?
"Instead of crucifying me, we all as citizens should be crucifying the city and elected government officials for ineptness. The status quo is not working."
Of course, Keller will likely only be the pariah of the internet for the next few days, while San Francisco's homeless people are made to feel like the pariahs of the city every day.
"Being homeless is like being the germ of the city. That's how they treat you," said Berc� Perry, a homeless resident of San Francisco. Perry was standing outside his tent in an encampment underneath the Highway 101 overpass. The 42-year-old said he had been homeless for about one year, and he has little patience for the distaste some people have for his presence in the city.
"They don't care about nobody but themselves," Perry said about the wealthy tech workers who've moved into San Francisco. "If you got money, you just want to grab anything you can get."
A few blocks away, Michael Jones, who has been homeless for about three years, was frustrated that people are homeless and hungry in a city with so much wealth.
"I see all the food that they throw away," Jones said. Still, asked about how he feels about wealthy tech workers, he would only say, "I don't judge anyone."
Madeleine McCann, 27, had some more pointed words for tech bros who disapprove of her. McCann has been living in a tent under the highway for about a month, ever since her van was towed, leaving her without a roof.
"They need to be a little more tolerant", she said. "It's not like they're going to let us come shower at their house."
The "Tech Bros" are on borrowed time.
There is a new kid coming to town.
All their "tech knowledge" is ephemeral. They will be, to put it kindly, replaced.
They have been living on CeeLang, CeeplusplusLang, Python, etc. far too long. This will end horribly.
And why should I give a damn? Let them emigrate to Nevada and pull the slots. Who cares? They made their bed.
The real future will become obvious. Screw these expedienturists.
The homeless have the real skills to survive the coming crash.


WASHINGTON — Arizona's infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio — the man who brands himself as "America's toughest sheriff" and has launched an extensive investigation into whether President Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen — will have to make some changes under a settlement with the federal government on Friday that would resolve some allegations that the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office routinely violated the civil rights of Latinos.
The agreement, approved by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, would partially resolve the lawsuit, specifically the allegations that Arpaio's office unlawfully detained Hispanic workers during worksite raids and violated their Fourth and 14th Amendment rights as well as the allegation that his office retaliated against critics in violation of the First Amendment.
Separately, the agreement would require Arpaio's office to expand language access for Hispanics who are held in the county's jails. Arpaio will still be headed to trial next month to resolve allegations in the lawsuit that his department targeted Latino drivers.

NO. 7 CHERRY LANE Trailer
Trailers • 1m 34s
Directed by Yonfan • 2019 • Hong Kong
Starring Sylvia Chang, Zhao Wei, Alex Tak-Shun Lam
The first animated film by celebrated director Yonfan is an exquisite, sumptuously stylized ode to young love, cinema, and the world of 1960s Hong Kong that has earned comparisons to the lush, languorous romanticism of Wong Kar Wai. Set amid the turbulent social unrest of Hong Kong's 1967 anticolonialist riots, NO. 7 CHERRY LANE unfolds as an almost hypnotic daydream of bittersweet nostalgia and heady eroticism in which a taboo love triangle plays out between a Proust-reading university student, a self-exiled Taiwanese divorcée, and her ravishingly beautiful daughter. Stunningly realized through a mix of colored-pencil and charcoal drawings on rice paper and studded with references to literature and international art cinema—in particular the films of French screen siren Simone Signoret—this singular achievement in adult animation casts an intoxicating spell all its own.

(ATLANTA – June 4th, 2018) – The RADCO Companies (RADCO), one of the nation's leading opportunistic real estate developers, completed its first four acquisitions of 2018 with the closing of the NW Indy Portfolio in Indianapolis, Indiana. The 1,426-unit, Class C and B-minus portfolio has been reorganized into three properties renamed Ashford Georgetown, Ashford Meridian Hills, and Creekside at Meridian Hills.
RADCO plans to spend over $27 million, or approximately $19,150 a unit, on capital improvements to reset the portfolio's economic clock. With vintages from 1968 to 1972, the portfolio spans 147.1 acres and consists of 96 two- and three-story buildings.
Averaging 944 square feet, the spacious garden-style apartments offer a range of one-, two-, and three-bedroom floorplans. The community amenities include swimming pools, clubhouses, playgrounds, laundry centers, and sport courts.
Capital improvements will include significant building repairs, new roofs, siding and window replacements, upgraded landscaping, HVAC repairs, major lighting upgrades, new amenities, and unit renovations.

GAME 38 RE-CAP: Power play potent in 3-1 win over Calgary
January 4, 2012 by Dave Nichols

Bruce Boudreau must be wondering where this Washington Capitals team was the first 25 games of the season.
Two power play goals, scored quickly into the first shifts of each, and some stellar goaltending by Tomas Vokoun led the suddenly resurgent Capitals to their fourth straight victory, this time over the visiting Calgary Flames, 3-1, before a Tuesday night sold-out house at Verizon Center.
The game also marked the return of defenseman Mike Green, back from the reported groin injury that shelved him for all but eight contests this season. Green, who declined to give himself a grade for his evening's performance, skated 17 shifts and logged 15:43 of ice time, only 43 seconds of which came on the power play. He did not register a shot on goal, had two other shots blocked, and was credited with three hits and two blocked shots.
"There's a little bit of conditioning stuff we can do, I only had this week of skating," Green told media after the game. "But I think more so it's just getting in the game and playing. There were times I thought I had a good jump but didn't have the energy to do it, so it's just a matter of getting everything back and functioning properly."
The power play, which had been truly dreadful for much of the season, was functioning properly last night. A mere 35 seconds after the Flames' Rene Bourque was sent to the penalty box for holding, just 1:11 into the game, the Caps lit the lamp, with a classic Alex Ovechkin one-timer from the left wing face-off dot. He was given the perfect pass from Marcus Johansson, who took a feed from Nicklas Backstrom (three assists), then started a move to the high slot, which drew the defense from away from Ovechkin, leaving one of the league's most dangerous shot wide open.
The goal (17) was Ovechkin's seventh in as many games (seven goals, four assists), and his assist later gave him multiple points in four straight.
Johansson, asked about his comfort level playing with Backstrom and Ovechkin on the power play until, responded, "You can get the puck anytime. I think [Backstrom] had three points [three assists] tonight. I gave a simple pass to him and he found me right back and opened everything up. Not a lot of guys can do that."
Where the first power play goal was of the "pretty" variety, the second one was "dirty". Ovechkin unleashed a shot form the point that Flames goalie MIkka Kiprusoff (18 saves) knocked down. But Troy Brouwer (11) was camped out in the crease, and stuffed the puck under Kiprusoff's pads before he could recover from the first shot.
"Dale [Hunter] told me if I don't want to stand in front [of the net], I'm not going to play on the power play," Brouwer said, only half-jokingly. "[Power play success] gives us a lot of confidence, especially early tonight when we had a couple good plays. The two guys on the half-wall [Backstrom and Johansson] have as much patience as anybody out there, so they found Ovi and he made a great shot [for the first goal], and the other one, you know, just putting puck to the net."
Hunter agreed with both Johansson and Brouwer when it came to heaping praise on Backstrom. "Nick is a great playmaker. He sees the ice and you can't teach that, that's god given ability. He has the ability to pass pucks and see who the open guy is when he can't really see them. That's why he is what he is."
Not all the news about Backstrom was good, however. Mid-way through the third period, Bourque leveled the Swedish pivot with an elbow to the jaw, earning an elbowing penalty and sending Backstrom from the game. Hunter was unclear if Backstrom was taken to the league's mandated "quiet room" for evaluation during the game, but the coach did indicate that Backstrom was being evaluated this evening as a result of the hit and more would be known about his condition Wednesday morning. Backstrom was not available to the media following the game.
Dennis Wideman capped the scoring late in the second, with a blast from the right wing face-off circle off another great play by Backstrom, who held the puck long enough along the goal line to draw the defense, which created space for the charging defenseman. It was Wideman's seventh goal of the season, and Backstrom's 29th helper.
The win moves the Caps back into a playoff spot, tied with New Jersey with 44 points for the last two spots in the conference, with Winnipeg and Toronto just a point behind. But it also inches them a couple of points closer to Division leading Florida, who now sit just three points ahead of the Caps. The Caps put themselves behind the eight-ball this season with their lackluster play early, and every point in the standings is going to be crucial from here until April.
CAPS NOTES: The Capitals blocked a season-high 24 shots. Washington outshot Calgary 21-19 and won 63 percent of the face-offs.
Vokoun has won four straight, and given up just five goals in those four games. He recorded 18 saves, including several spectacular stops when the game was still tied in the second period.
Backstrom has eight points (one goals, seven assists) in a current five-game point streak. Johansson has one goal and three assists in his last four games.

Q: UIView animation annomily I am currently trying to animation from one view to another using a swipe gesture which in turn would animate View A off the screen to the left and then have view B animate along with it by appear from the right.
This is actually working in my application however when the views animate instead of View B following on the edge of View A and have them both move at the same time, View B will not move untill View A's animatoin has finished...
this is what the code looks like
- (void)swipedScreen:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer*)gesture
{
    if (gesture.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft) {
        [UIView animateWithDuration:1.50 animations:^{

//            [self.detailViewB.view setAlpha:1.0f];
            [self.detailViewB.view setCenter:CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.view.frame), CGRectGetMidY(self.view.frame))];
            [self.detailViewA.view setCenter:CGPointMake(-640, CGRectGetMidY(self.view.frame))];
        }];
    }
}

And if you would like to compile the source yourself here is a link to the code I am messing around with.  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53813770/SMPrototypeB.zip
any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Fixed your code and reuploaded the project here
Changes I made:
-(void) viewDidLoad
{
    [self.detailViewB.view setFrame:CGRectMake(320, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];

}

World & Policy/
UK: Very Rare Nerve Agent Poisoned Spy
3/8/2018 | 6:09 AM CST
LONDON (AP) -- Britain's top domestic security official on Thursday described the nerve agent used in the attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter as "very rare," though she refused to say whether investigators know exactly what it is or where it came from.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd told the BBC that enormous resources are being directed at trying to figure out who might be responsible for the poisoning of Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter, Yulia, 33. The pair was found unconscious on a bench in the southwestern city of Salisbury on Sunday, triggering a police investigation led by counterterrorism detectives.
"When we have all the evidence of what took place we will, if it is appropriate, attribute it to somebody," Rudd said. "If that is the case, then we will have a plan in place (to respond). We need to be very methodical, take a cool head and be based on the facts, not on rumor."
The Skripal case is reminiscent of the 2006 killing of another former Russian spy who was poisoned in London with radioactive polonium-210. The banned VX nerve agent was used to kill the estranged half-brother of North Korea's leader last year in Malaysia.
Police are focusing their investigation on three locations in Salisbury — Skripal's home, a pub and a restaurant, Rudd said.
Skripal and his daughter are in very serious condition, Rudd said. A police officer who came to their aid is also in a serious situation, though he is not in intensive care.
Police have declined to speculate on who might be behind the attack. The Russian government has denied any involvement in the attack on Skripal, a former Russian agent who had served jail time in his homeland for spying for Britain before being freed in a spy swap.

HOW ARE YOU GUYS . It isalmost a week since I am here. All my life here is great. I still remember the first day I came here, that night is really dark and terriblly cold, and on one of our friends can find the north of England. But when were in the campus we feel warm because of the friendly and helpful staff here.
On the other hand, I should say that I have some problems, the british accent is different for me to understand when it speaks fast. But I am sure that I will get a progress if I go on speak in English.
Good luck to me and all of my friends here!

My brother in law got a chance of a lifetime with a few friends to fly from Montreal to Pittsburgh with Kristopher Letang, the star defensemen for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Letang was hurt so they all left together to watch the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Unfortunately for my brother in law, Sidney Crosby was out as well.
Evgeni Malkin end up playing 28 minutes that night. Typically, a really good player will play anywhere between 15-17 minutes a game. Since Crosby was out, it mean't that other star players had to fill the gap. Malkin ends up with 2 goals and 2 assists.
Full disclosure, I was never a Evgeni Malkin fan.
After the game, Kris Letang tells my brother in law and his friends "Let's go see who's still in the room." They get there… only a few guys left. Everyone had already showered and went home.
Then, Kris Letang says let's go see who's at the gym?
My brother in law didn't understand.. It was 10:30pm.
They get to the gym and see a giant guy doing pull ups with a couple plates around his waist.
It was Evgeni Malkin.
Evgeni Malkin was at the gym after playing a physical game, 28 minutes on ice, 4 points, probably soar everywhere…. all this when nobody was looking.
Why was he working out after the hockey game? The only answer I could think of when I heard this story is that he hadn't played his last hockey game and he had to remain at the top of his game.
Kris Letang said that Crosby would be with him if he wasn't hurt. So, two of the best players in the league feeling like they need to work out after a hockey game. Unreal!
My buddy Pat is the best gym teacher I know. The Ottawa Citizen once had a write up on him because so many of his athletes went on to play pro is various sports. A quote he said in the article that stuck with me is "Champions are those who practice when nobody is watching""
Have a good routine with the right mindset and you will achieve success.
I just wanted to share this story to explain wha it takes to become successful. It takes the right mindset. The same one Malkin has that got him there.
And that's how I became an Evgeni Malkin fan.
