Monday, May 06 2019 by Editor
By Doris Degner-Foster The horses in Julie Ferris' work look as though they could step off the canvas, especially in her life-sized paintings. Her trademark style of using a white painted background highlights her subject, showing the character of each individual horse through their facial expression and unique physical components.

BRAND AFFILIATES
the beautiful experience
The Beautiful Experience campaign was inspired by the song "Beautiful" written by Keyondra set to release June 9, 2017 on iTunes, Amazon and all other digital outlets. Our objective in pursuing this campaign is to make women of all walks aware of their worth and value as the lyrics of the song mention related to their inner and outer beauty, regardless of the circumstances life brings. We are aware of the toll chemo therapy can inflict on ones outer beauty, ultimately affecting how a woman facing those outer changes can feel inside as it relates to her self esteem. Therefore we want to include breast cancer survivors in our quest to help women realize the innermost beauty. Additionally, 10% of the proceeds from the sale of the song during the campaign period will be donated to The Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta in an effort to help fight breast cancer.
Stay tuned for videos from Keyondra's family and friends telling you what makes them and other women beautiful.
About Our Benificiary
Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta is the local resource for women who need breast cancer screening, diagnostic and support services. Through annual events, including the Race for the Cure and Bubbles & Bling and individual contributions, Komen Atlanta raises funds that enable women and men to detect and survive breast cancer.

Generation Z, born between 1996 and 2015, is fuelled by technology in all areas of their life. As a generation that has never known a world without the internet, their expectations are high – they want it to connect them, entertain them, sell to them and build their digital brand. And that's just for starters. To Gen Z, there is no "internet" or "online." Unlike their predecessors, they don't see the digital world purely as a source for information, but rather as a way to stay connected to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Their connection to the digital world is so ubiquitous and seamless that the digital experience is their human experience, finds a new international study conducted by The Center for Generational Kinetics and WP Engine.
Gen Z is well on its way to becoming the largest generation of consumers by the year 2020. So how do businesses cater successfully to this internet-native generation with online services that meet with their requirements and keep them coming back? What's needed is a change in mindset, tailoring online services to make them personalised and predictive. By reviewing their existing platforms, experimenting with new forms of communication and focusing on content, brands can forge meaningful relationships with Gen Z consumers – ones that will continue to develop as their purchasing power grows.
Gen Z has a powerful tech-centric view of the future. When thinking about how websites will function five years from now, more than three quarters (78%) of Gen Z believe that internet authentication will be done without keyboards via biometrics, 63% believe that everyone will have their own personalised virtual digital assistant (Siri, Alexa, etc.) for all their online needs and 78% believe that all software, websites and digital experiences will have digital learning and AI capabilities. By reviewing their existing platforms at the back end to ensure they are user-friendly and predictive, and regularly experimenting with new forms of technology, brands can make sure they are keeping up with these expectations.
Despite this generation's eagerness to access the web using a myriad of different devices, they still show a clear preference for a company's website over a mobile app when making purchases (69%). Gen Z has grown up in the hyper-personalised world of targeted advertisements and social platforms. 40% of Gen Z said they would stop visiting a website if it didn't anticipate what they needed, liked, or wanted, and 38% would provide their personal data to enable a more personalised experience over an anonymous one.
Gen Z is 25% more likely than Boomers and Gen X to choose a digital world where websites or apps can predict and provide what users need at all times. By providing personalised, convenient digital experiences to Gen Z, brands can ensure they remain both attractive and relevant, creating in the process not just one version of their website but as many as there are consumers using it.
Close to a third (29%) of Gen Z prefer to be entertained by a company's online content, in comparison to 94% of Baby Boomers who prefer to be informed. Meanwhile, nearly three quarters (74%) of Gen Z are more likely to purchase from a company that provides consistent and relevant content (videos, blogs, social media posts, magazines).
Gen Z is also fiercely committed to authenticity when considering the brands they use and buy from. 82% of Gen Z trust a company more if the images they use are not photoshopped and 84% if they use actual customers in their ads. By providing entertaining content in a transparent way, brands can build a trusted connection with Gen Zers, encouraging them to share their experiences, albeit to specific people on specific channels – unlike Millennials who tend to see digital interactions as a communal experience to be shared more broadly.
Gen Z values online authenticity much more so than previous generations, expecting it not just in the interactions they have with others through social media sites but from retailers as well. 39% of Gen Z want a retailer or shopping website to guarantee that reviews are from real people. And not only do they want these to be vetted and backed with a guarantee of authenticity, but they have a strong sense of scepticism and can spot imposters immediately.
By giving Gen Zers the honesty and openness they demand, this generation will reward brands by sharing information about themselves, and are more than happy to be served digital ads, as long as they are authentic and personalised to them.
As shoppers, Gen Z demands that brands be both socially accountable and imbued with a sense of authenticity in their interactions. 65% of Gen Z are more likely to buy from a company that contributes to social causes, while nearly a third (30%) have stopped buying from a company that contributes to a social cause with which they disagree. It is no longer enough for brands to just provide a product or service. To form an emotional connection with the latest generation of shoppers, businesses must now identify and support the causes that matter to them too.
The online world represents different things to different generations. To Gen Z, their human experience is their digital experience and they are dependent on it. They believe the future will be personalised across websites, apps and platforms and they want to access those unique experiences in new and interesting ways. By understanding their expectations and connecting with them in the right way, brands can future-proof their businesses and win over a whole new generation of loyal customers.

2 Best Movies & Shows Released in 1990 On Hbomax
1. Days of Being Wild, 1990
Forlorn longing envelops Days of Being Wild, where the act of dreaming is as valuable as its actual fulfillment. "You'll see me tonight in your dreams," Yuddy tells Su Li-zhen on their first meeting, and indeed, this line of dialogue sets the film's main contradiction: would you rather trap yourself in the trance-like beauty of dreams or face the unpleasant possibilities of reality? Wong Kar-wai's characters each have their own answers, with varying subplots intersecting through the consequences of their decisions. In the end, happiness comes in unexpected ways, granted only to those brave enough to wake up and dream again.
2. Metropolitan, 1990
It's very interesting, if not startling, to see an earnest movie made about the white upper class these days. Metropolitan is one such film, and even though it was released in the '90s, it still stands the test of time precisely because it neither judges nor defends the group of WASPs it follows. It simply shows them in all their elegance and sophistication, as well as their insulation and irony.
Metropolitan takes place in the upper crust of New York debutante society, during Christmas vacation, where soirees are rampant and afterparties even more so. The young-adult leads who navigate the scene in their expensive clothes and self-important aura recall a Scott Fitzgerald novel, or if you like, Gossip Girl episode. But instead of falling into tragedies, these characters just end up in silly but relatable mishaps and misunderstandings: they're just kids after all. And as high and mighty as they may seem, whiling away in tall Park Avenue apartments, they're still prone to the universal pains that haunt and shape teenagers. Expect to see heartbreak, jealousy, and longing even among the brightest and wealthiest of New York.

1 And God remembered Noe, and all the living creatures, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark, and brought a wind upon the earth, and the waters were abated.
2 The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
3 And the waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.
5 And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
7 Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth.
8 He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.
9 But she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the ark.
10 And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 And she came to him in the evening, carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.
13 Therefore in the six hundreth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw that the face of the earth was dried.
14 In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried.
16 Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the wives of thy sons with thee.
17 All livings things that are with thee of all flesh, as well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increased and multiply upon it.
18 So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.
19 And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things that creep upon the earth, according to their kinds, went out of the ark.
20 And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the altar.
21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man's heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done.
22 All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease.

Container living is getting more popular among tourists because it offers a different kind of experience and ambience. Although it is not a new concept, when I had the chance to try NafasCube @ Mardi for one night, I was elated.
While one container is not much different from the other, NafasCube @ Mardi is in a class of its own due to the environment, amid a radiant garden setting. Nafas, after all, means 'breathe' in Malay. At NafasCube @ Mardi, there is indeed plenty of fresh air to rejuvenate us.
NafasCube @ Mardi is located merely minutes from the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS), one of Asia's most comprehensive showground and exposition park facility.
Besides container-style rooms, cube-style living is also offered here. Due to its compact size, cubes may not be suitable for all guests. Besides, unlike containers, cubes do not have en suite bathroom.
For guests who seek comfort above all else, they may opt for the more spacious Executive or Premium room. Rates at NafasCube @ Mardi start from RM120 nett (weekday) and RM150 nett (weekend). Is container hotel your kind of accommodation?

Don't think I can stay at Cube. Bathroom is really necessary for me. hehehe… I love the overall surrounding.
wow it seems not bad, but maybe they could paint it or deco it with more cheerful / bright colour to give it a bit more interesting and easier to attract people.
The surrounding looks nice and relaxing. I don't think I will like the cube type without bathrooms.
oh, this is new to me!! It's quite interesting to stay in a cube like this. The bathroom is so neat and the peaceful ambiance of the surroundings is so fulfilling.
Omg cantiknya Nafas Cube ni. Konsep dia unik. I wanna go there. Short trip pun okay.
I prefer the cube style.. looks so comfy and the environment so peaceful.. i like the lake view too.

Climate Change and Crisis in the Middle East
Type: Public event
Host: International Policy Center
Series: Human Security Series
A comparative panel to discuss the contemporary drought, climate change, and conflict/revolution in the Middle East
Mar 11, 2016, 1:00-5:30 pm EST
Annenberg Auditorium, 1120 Weill Hall
735 South State Street Ann Arbor, Michigan, 48105
Light refreshments will be served.
Presentations and discussion will address causality, methodological issues and current politics. We will explore the histories of climate change and conflict in Middle East & North Africa, featuring political scientists specializing on the contribution of drought and climate change to the current crises in the Middle East. Further exploration of the cultural histories of claims that climate has caused social conflict.
The symposium will feature two paper presentations (each followed by a brief Q&A) and a round table with three panelists followed by an open floor discussion
Conference Welcome:
Juan Cole, Richard P. Mitchell Professor of History, Director of Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies (CMENAS), University of Michigan
Session I (~1:20 pm –2:25 pm): "Climate Change and State Deconstruction in the Middle East and North Africa"
Jeannie Sowers, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of New Hampshire
Session II (~ 2:40 pm – 3:45 pm): "Climate Change and Internal Conflicts in the Middle East"
Hannu Juusola, Professor, Department of World Cultures, University of Helsinki
Session III: Round Table (~4:10 pm – 5:30 pm): "How to Think about Hot Spots: Historical, Climatological, and Policy Perspectives on Climate and Conflict"
Abstract: The round table will engage the arguments of the two papers, but its purpose is to broaden the conversation to address fundamental problems related to interdisciplinary research methods, policy implications, moral responsibility, and political strategy. In particular, it will seek to illuminate the relationship between local crisis and global warming. How can historical analogs and narratives make sense of current drought-associated conflicts, and help prepare for a hotter future? What is the most productive way to think about the connection between extreme weather events and anthropogenic climate change? Simple models of environmental determinism are clearly untenable, but then how are we to theorize causal chains connecting climate and conflict? How can and should climate expertise be integrated into policy making? What are the risks and rewards of framing climate change as a security problem? If global warming contributes to conflict in the Middle East, what are the implications for institutions at local, national, and international scales? Do we need new models and methods for performing multidisciplinary research that truly make the earth sciences social sciences?
Chair: Perrin Selcer, Assistant Professor, History Department, University of Michigan
Rosina Bierbaum, Professor, School of Natural Resources and the Environment, University of Michigan
Rosina's research interests lie at the interface of science and policy--principally on issues related to climate change adaptation and mitigation at the national and international levels.

Professor White has taught in many areas of environmental history including both global and American surveys as well as "big history" and topical courses on food, animals, and climate. His research focuses on past climate changes and extreme weather, combining scientific data and historical sources to better reconstruct these episodes and understand their influence on human history. His first book, The Climate of Rebellion in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire (Cambridge University Press, 2011), explores the far-reaching effects of severe cold and drought in the Middle East during the "Little Ice Age" of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It won the Middle East Studies Association Albert Hourani award, the Turkish Studies Association Fuat Köprülü award, and the British-Kuwaiti Friendship Society prize for the best book in Middle East and Turkish studies. He has also published various chapters and articles on world history, and climate, disease, and animals in history, including "From Globalized Pigs to Capitalist Pigs: A Study in Animals Cultures and Evolutionary History," Environmental History 16 (2011), which won the American Society for Environmental History Leopold-Hildy Prize and the Agricultural History Association Wayne D. Rasmussen Award. His current research, recently supported by fellowships at the John Carter Brown and Huntington libraries, examines the role of climate in the early exploration and settlement of North America. It compares English, Spanish, and French efforts to grapple with a new and unfamiliar climate and with Little Ice Age cold and drought, leading up to the contemporaneous colonies of Jamestown, Santa Fe, and Quebec. White is also the co-founder and website administrator of climatehistorynetwork.com and vice-president of a new International Society for Historical Climatology and Climate History.
This event is hosted by the International Policy Center at the Ford School of Public Policy, and sponsored by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies; with additional support from the International Institute, International Policy Center @Ford, Department of History, and Environmental History Interest Group.

Q: How do I match the elements generated by xsl-fo? I have a .xsl file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common">
  <xsl:template match="/>
    <fo:root>
      <fo:block>...</fo:block>
    </fo:root>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

How can I use templates to match and style the generated fo elements? For example, if I want to give my fo:table-cells red backgrounds, I'd like to be able to do
<xsl:template match="fo:table-cell">
  <xsl:attribute name="background-color">red</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

I found this and then tried something along the lines of
  <xsl:template match="/>
    <xsl:variable name="foRoot">
      <fo:root>
        <fo:block>...</fo:block>
      </fo:root>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="exslt:node-set($foRoot)" />
  </xsl:template>

but this results in a stack overflow due to endless recursion. When I try to avoid this, for example by doing
<xsl:apply-templates select="exslt:node-set($foRoot)/*" />

I get an empty document. When trying to fix that by adding
<xsl:copy-of select="$foRoot" />

right after, I don't get any errors but the table-cells still have a default white background.

A: If you really use an XSLT 2 processor then first of all you don't need exsl:node-set.
As for your template
<xsl:template match="fo:table-cell">
  <xsl:attribute name="background-color">red</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

that would match a FO table-cell but transform it into an attribute. So you rather want
<xsl:template match="fo:table-cell">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
    <xsl:attribute name="background-color">red</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

as that adds the attribute to a shallow copy of the element and then keeps processing alive for child elements with apply-templates.
Of course you will also need to add the identity transformation template
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

to make sure the elements you don't want to change are copied through. It might be necessary to use modes to separate processing steps if the other templates you have interfere with the identity transformation.

Friday means one thing in our test kitchen: fridge cleanout lunch! We had an abundance of pancetta and dried pasta, so I decided to throw together a quick and easy meal that our team of Feedfeed editors inhaled. Rendered pancetta is tossed with garlic and chiles before getting simmered with tomatoes for a rich and spicy sauce that gets tossed with pasta and tons of grated Parm. It's a dish that leans on flavor-heavy ingredients to add a punch without having to simmer your red sauce for hours.
I'll share just a few tips and tricks to ensure pasta perfection. First, always start rendering your pancetta in a cold pan, allowing for fat to render while it gets golden. Then, make sure you turn the heat down before adding your tomatoes or you'll have sauce and hot grease pop all over your clothes. Finally, save your pasta water! It's the optimal liquid to thin out the sauce while still adding body to the finished dish. Follow these rules and you'll show your friends and family who's the sauce.
Add pancetta to a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until golden and the fat has rendered, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and chile, then cook until fragrant and golden, 1-2 minutes. Stir in both cans of tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Submerge thyme sprigs and Parmesan rind in the sauce, then cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly reduced, 10 minutes. Season with salt.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup of pasta water, then add both to the simmering sauce, tossing with the grated Parmesan to coat. Adjust for seasoning.
Divide between bowls and garnish with more grated Parmesan, then serve.

Lefty Frizzell remains one of the most underappreciated artists in all of country-music history; therefore, it's no surprise that this little jewel of an album remains one of the most underappreciated in Nelson's vast catalog. Recorded in the peak Nelson year of 1975 (but not released until 1977), To Lefty from Willie puts his personal stamp on the Frizzell catalog while still upholding the spirit of the source material. This balancing act is tough for anyone to sustain, but Nelson has proven time and again his interpretive powers and he uses them here to great effect. With his sister Bobbie gently and elegantly dancing across the piano, he delivers some of the most moving vocals he's ever recorded, adding some delightfully understated guitar leads for good measure. Nelson's easy, natural vocal delivery--a Frizzell hallmark--is perfectly suited to these songs, and while his phrasing and tone is much different than Frizzell's was, he still hits the same emotional bull's-eyes. --Marc Greilsamer

Q: symfony No route found for "GET I changed the name of my controller and the routes in the controller and the templates that correspond to it. I even executed the bin/console debug:route to check routes terminal
but when I type http:/localhost:8000/admin/programation/circuit I get an error : No route found for "GET /admin/programation/circuit".
error
Remark: everything was working perfectly before I change the controller name and the routes.
enter image description here

A: Your route is not correct. To you try to call the route
/admin/programation/circuit

But your route is
/admin/programation/circuit/

So i think that is the problem in your case. So you have to add the / or you should remove them from your action.

A: The trick is that with the symfony routing system we could not declare a route with a path that ends with '/' only if the path of the rotue is outright the '/' (not préfixed with any thing).
In our case, the index() function is pointed to a route prefixed by '/admin/programation/circuit' and ended with '/' otherwise the following route becomes '/admin/programation/circuit/' and as you can see, it does not respect the convention.
What I tell you, is to redefine the configuration in this way, so that the path becomes empty for the index() function.  To define you route in a proper way, you can prefix even the name of the route (from version 3.4)
/**
 * @Route("/admin/programation/circuit", name="admin_programtion_circuit_")
 */
 class BackofficeProgramationController {

  /**
   * @Route("", name="index")
   */
    public function index() {...}
 }
