Mauro Icardi to Chelsea: Agent delivers huge update on striker's future at Inter Milan
Latest Chelsea transfer news includes an update on Mauro Icardi's future
Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
The agent of Mauro Icardi has opened up on the striker's future at Inter Milan, amid reported interest from Chelsea.
This January transfer window - from a Blues perspective - has mostly been dominated by talk of a new striker coming in so that Eden Hazard is free from his 'false nine' role.
A loan move for Gonzalo Higuain is reportedly set to go through at some point this week, but it does appear that some fans would prefer someone else - and his name is Icardi.
The Argentine was the popular choice when football.london asked supporters to name their dream January transfer window signing in our transfer survey .
Alvaro Morata, Gonzalo Higuain, Krzysztof Piatek and what must happen next for key Chelsea deals
There was talk earlier in the window that Blues owner Roman Abramovich had personally intervened to try and get a deal done.
Meanwhile, talks between Inter and Icardi over a new contract have stalled, with the 25-year-old's girlfriend and agent Wanda Nara admitting that the two biggest clubs in Spain as well as one in France and one in England - thought to be Chelsea - had shown an interest in the star striker this month.

However, Wanda Nara has stated that Icardi wants to stay at the San Siro 'for a long' time, but did also admit she can't guarantee he will sign a new deal.
"Against Sassuolo, Mauro had little service by his teammates and it may happen but it seems that it is always his fault. In any case, the renewal has nothing to do with it, he does not feel the pressure, he is colder than Higuain," she said, as translated by Calciomercato .
"I'm always the b**** but I've never asked for the renewal and Mauro has never asked for anything.
Maurizio Sarri explains why signing Gonzalo Higuain will not be enough to fix Chelsea's flaws
"Everyone has the agent he deserves, we have always been transparent. I do not have to call anyone. When they call me, I answer and talk about it. The club will know the right time.
"An appointment this week? We hope so, we will definitely see each other.
"On the part of Mauro, there is the willingness to remain for a long time at Inter. For me, he will 100% renew with Inter but I cannot predict the future."
Chelsea's transfer plans for January
With the January transfer window in full swing, football.london want to hear from Chelsea fans on the business they want to see from the club in the first month of 2019 and their view on the season so far under Maurizio Sarri.

Below is my recipe for easy 'no knead' focaccia. I was particularly pleased that the 'no knead' method worked here because focaccia dough is notoriously wet and the kneading part messy and troublesome.
This is a great bread to start on a weekend morning ready for supper in the evening. With some good olives, interesting cheeses and a bottle of wine it makes an excellent meal.
In the morning, place all the dry ingredients (flour, yeast, table salt) in a bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon. Add the wet ingredients (oil and water) and mix again until just incorporated. The mix will be very sticky.
Cover with cling film and leave to rise at room temperature (for at least 8 hours) as you go about your day.
Line and oil a tin (20 x 30 cm or one with a similar area) and tip in the dough pressing down gently to the edges so that it is evenly distributed.
Preheat the oven to 220oC and put a bowl of boiling water in the bottom of the oven to create steam. Drizzle the top of the bread with extra olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Remove from the tin and leave to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing into thick wedges.
NOTE: You could leave the dough to rise overnight for warm bread in the morning, however I don't consider focaccia to be a breakfasty sort of bread.
Today I made this birthday cake for a friend who loves pizza. It was very easy and came out quite well so I thought I'd share with you how I did it.
The base is just a standard cake mix (see here for a basic recipe) cooked in a 23cm circular tin for 35 minutes.
The tomato sauce is icing sugar mixed with a little water and red gel food colouring (I also added some raspberry puree but you don't have to).
The cheese is grated white chocolate.
The olives are black fondant icing, rolled thinly and cut out with tiny circular cutters.
The pepperoni is made from Kelloggs fruit wind ups scrunched up into a ball, rolled out flat and then cut with a circular cutter.
I bake these simple chocolate biscuits when I want to make my husband and son happy because they are both of the opinion that all sweet treats should involve chocolate in some form.
But this week I've been making them for fundraising volunteers (to spur them on with school Christmas Fayre preparations) and builders (so that they hurry up with the work on my husband's new shop and give me some real employment in the new year). They've proven to be very popular.
I think they would also make brilliant Christmas biscuits if you used a Christmassy cutter and some plain white piped icing for decoration.
Heat the oven to 180oC fan.
Line two flat baking trays with parchment.
Mix the flour, sugar and cocoa powder then rub in the margarine until you have fine breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and vanilla extract and bring together with your hands to form a soft dough.
Knead lightly on a floured surface and then roll out to 1/2 cm thick and cut into 7 cm rounds using a cutter. You can make them smaller if you prefer (and this will obviously make more).
Place on baking trays and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the baking trays and leave to cool on a wire rack.
For the optional chocolate drizzle, melt some dark chocolate slowly in the microwave or over a bain marie (a bowl over a pan of simmering water). Drizzle the chocolate over the biscuits and put in the fridge for 10 minutes to harden.
Or you can forget the dark chocolate drizzle and instead sandwich with Philadelphia and dark chocolate spread, they look like Oreo cookies and are in the same vein as my cheat's chocolate cheesecake.
This is my kind of recipe. It comes from my trusty Be-Ro cookbook (which I've been using for over 30 years) and is possibly the simplest biscuit recipe ever. If you've never really baked before then this is a great starting point. And I promise that you CAN find the time to give these a go because they take just 5 minutes to make and 15 minutes in the oven (during which time you can empty the dishwasher, check your emails, read your child a story etc, etc).
I wouldn't describe these biscuits as a taste sensation but they do make a perfectly nice everyday biscuit and have a wholesome taste (because of the oatmeal) which is similar to a Hobnob.
My husband and son don't think biscuits are worthwhile unless chocolate is involved so, if I'm feeling generous, I'll drizzle over some melted dark chocolate (which I put in the fridge to harden) or just smear on some chocolate spread.
Heat your oven to 180oC fan and line two flat baking trays with parchment.
Mix together the dry ingredients, then rub in the margarine with your hands until the whole mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Using your hands to mix add enough milk (about 1 tablespoon should do it) to make a stiff dough.
On a floured work surface, knead lightly and roll out thinly (about ½ cm) and cut into 7 cm rounds.
Place on the two baking trays and bake for 15 minutes.

It's super frustrating when you make a sewing or quilting project, only to discover marks or stains on your fabric at the end! Learn how to protect and treat your light colored fabric BEFORE you sew with it, using Scotchgard.
This trick has worked well for me, and I used it on the white background fabric on my Scrappy Hunter's Star quilt – no mystery stains!
Be sure to test out the Scotchgard on a small area of the fabric, just to make sure it doesn't negatively react or discolor it.

Ceramic Urns are stunning in a home setting. The Sorrento range has a classical shape with a smooth gloss crackle glaze which is similar in style to a Raku finish. The Sorrento range comes in a delightful choice of colours; a simple navy blue, a classic white and a stunning black and gold that is so Italian in look and feel. All of these ceramic urns will hold a full set of adult ashes.
Ceramic is a broad term that includes earthenware, bone ware, pottery, and, yes, porcelain. The word "ceramic" is derived from a Greek word that means "pottery," and describes any article made of natural clay hardened by heat. These two variables, clay and heat, determine an item's ceramic type. Clay is formed by combining any number of organic substances, and the types of substances used determine the quality of the clay. The temperature at which the clay is baked, as well as the baking duration, also vary greatly and determine the hardness of the end product.
Because the variables can be widely adjusted, it is easy to see why there are so many different types of ceramic, and why there is so much confusion. It is, after all, correct to refer to porcelain as ceramic because it is created from a special clay heated to a certain temperature. While ceramics have been around for thousands of years, porcelain is a comparatively new development. Porcelain is made from a clay that has a paste-like quality and is fired at high temperatures. The process was first mastered in China in the 1300s. This Chinese porcelain is made from a hard-paste clay fired at very high temperatures, producing the white, glass-like, finish that we associate with porcelain.

The only built-in gesture for undo on iOS at the moment is to shake the device. This is not very intuitive to me and I've certainly done it by accident many times. The makers of Procreate chose a two-finger tap and have found that their users adapted to it nicely. This gesture is being adopted by more and more iOS developers. Here's all the code you need to implement the two-finger tap for undo in your Xojo iOS apps.
If you haven't worked with gestures in Xojo, it's really not that difficult. To demonstrate, I've created a simple iOS app that draws a circle wherever you tap.
To create the TapHistory array to keep track of all the taps, you use the Canvas control's PointerDown event which fires anytime a tap occurs. The eventInfo as iOSEventInfo parameter tells you everything you need to know about a tap. In addition to the location, it tells you how many fingers were used. In this event, the example code determines if one or two fingers were used. If a single finger was used, the eventInfo is added to the TapHistory array to be used for drawing the circles. If two fingers are used, the user wants to undo so that last entry in the TapHistory array is removed.
Either way, the Canvas is invalidated which forces it to repaint thus looping through the TapHistory array and redrawing circles at all the remaining tap locations.
The Two Tap Undo Example is available if you'd like to play around with it.


Chennaiyin FC coach John Gregory leads his troops against FC Goa in the final of the 2019 Super Cup to be played at the Kalinga stadium in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, on Saturday.
With the dismal run they have endured in the Indian Super League (ISL) after entering the season as defending champions, the 64-year-old has pegged his side as the underdogs despite convingly getting the better of Mumbai City FC (2-0), NorthEast United (2-1) and ATK (2-0).
"We obviously start as the underdogs. Goa are the clear favourites in this particular game. We have worked hard to get to the final. The three matches that we have played have been against very strong sides but this becomes a big test for us. We are very pleased by the way we got here, but when you get to the final, there is only one thing on your mind and that is to win it," he said.
Looking back on when they last clinched a title in the 2017-18 ISL final against Bengaluru FC, he added, "We were also the underdogs 12 months ago when we had to go Bengaluru. So we quite enjoy that. We are waiting for our second final in 12 months and quite frankly, we can't wait."
A big drawback for the Marina Machans will be the absense of Chris Herd who alongside Dhanpal Ganesh had given Chennaiyin the perfect balance Gregory would have wanted during the course of the season.
"We have been without Ganesh all season. He was a big part in the [2017-18] ISL season we won. The system we were playing complimented him and the rest of the players. We have been able to play Ganesh in the Super Cup and playing him alongside Chris, we had a very good balance there. We tried many permutations during the ISL season but we were never able to recapture the shape that we had last year," he explained.
"We didn't have the right personnel at certain times and playing Chris the other night was a big plus for us. We looked exceptionally strong across the pitch. Without Chris tomorrow (Saturday), it gives the opportunity for someone else to come into the side. I have one or two experienced players that can come in the side and hopefully we won't miss Chris too much."
John Gregory had showered all the praises he could bestow on FC Goa manager Sergio Lobera after his side blanked Chennai City FC 3-0 to make it into the final.
"We know of their qualities. Even without (Edu) Bedia, they outclassed Chennai City. They could have won by more than the three goals that they scored. I have enjoyed watching them this season. Sergio has done a terrific job at the club. He made one or two changes at the start of this season and the changes he made improved his team and they have come into this competition and taken it very seriously," said Gregory.
"We know that we are in for a very tough game. If they can get opportunities, they can punish you. Coro (Ferran Corominas) has continued what he did last year, he's done it again this season and he's doing it in the Super Cup as well. So we got a tough game on our hands."
The former Queens Park Rangers player picked out a certain Mourtada Fall as the reason for FC Goa's improvements at the back but also pointed out that the Goans have their weaknesses that Chennaiyin have exploited in the past.
"They (FC Goa) have improved their defense. With the addition of Fall at the back, he has given them a lot more aerial power and he is very composed in possession. Defensively, they look very strong, but they conceded three goals (against Jamshedpur FC) the other night. So there are certain weaknesses in their side," Gregory observed.
"Generally, they are very strong side. They pass the ball well, which is always a tough act to play against. As you know, we played them in the two [ISL] semi-final play-offs last year where they kept a lot of possession but we managed to break them. We are hoping that, with our current momentum, we go into the game excited, hoping to win and knowing that we have the ability to win."
Lauding his own side's resolute defense, he added, "We ourselves have been strong defensively. We conceded one goal in six games (excluding the walkover against Aizawl FC). So our defense has improved enormously in the last part of the season. So if we can keep a clean sheet, which we know is tough against Goa, we feel that we have a chance."
"After the season that we had, it might have been a little bit more tough for us than it may has been for Goa. They came into the Super Cup on the back of amazing season. Obviously, losing in the ISL final would have hurt them badly. They know what that feeling is like and I'm sure that they won't want to get that same feeling again."

Encyclopedia > Pietro, Cardinal Ottoboni
Pietro, Cardinal Ottoboni, the Cardinal Ottoboni (1667–February 29, 1740), was a member of the noble Venetian family and the grand-nephew of the Venetian Pope Alexander VIII(1689–1691). He is remembered especially as a great patron of music. February 29 is the 60th day of a leap year in the Gregorian Calendar, with 306 days remaining. ...

Cardinal Ottoboni, one of the great patrons of his generation, was housed in the Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome, where he supported Arcangelo Corelli, the finest violinist of his generation, at his Monday night concerts called "academies", and where Corelli was introduced to Handel. When he died in 1713, Corelli left his estate, including his valuable pictures, to Cardinal Ottoboni, who distributed the sizable funds among Corelli's relations and erected Corelli's princely tomb in the Pantheon. Among his other protegés was Antonio Vivaldi and Antonio Caldara. He even wrote texts of cantatas for some of them. The young Sicilian architect Giovanni Battista Vaccarini also benefited from his concern.

His music library was dispersed after his death, but the so-called "Manchester Concerto Part-books" have survived with sets of separate parts for 95 compositions, mostly concertos; the manuscript scores came into the possession of Charles Jennens, the librettist for Handel's Messiah. The diverse contents of the concerto collection suggest that Ottoboni's musicians acquired and performed music from artistic centres elsewhere (notably Venice and Bologna) as well as works composed in Rome. Charles Jennens (1700-1773) assembled the text for Handels oratorios Messiah and Saul, and is thought to have done the same for Handels Israel in Egypt. ...

Released in early 1995, Lost Eden is an adventure game by Cryo (makers of the incredible Dune; the quasi-adventure game, not the real time strategy title by Westwood), with input from famed Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks author and Lionhead co-founder Steve Jackson. It has a strong emphasis on computer generated visuals and was released for numerous platforms.
The story revolves around silent protagonist Adam in an alternate reality Earth called Eden (later on you meet a woman called Eve). It's a world where sentient dinosaurs live alongside tribes of humans and apemen. All are being wiped out by the evil Moorkus Rex and his army of tyrannical Tyrannosaurus (called Tyranns – get it?). It wasn't always like this though: Adam's great-grandfather, Priam, had built giant citadels to keep the Tyranns at bay. Unfortunately his son, Vangor, was hungry for power and so destroyed the citadels (save one which has become their home), along with the knowledge of how to construct them. Next in line to the throne was Adam's father, Gregor, who in the game is a feeble old man afraid of conflict. Adam now carries the sins of his forefathers, but is determined to stop Moorkus Rex. He realizes that to do this he must rediscover how Priam built the ancient citadels – and the first part of the game is some rudimentary puzzle solving whereupon you end up in the remaining Citadel's basement to find that dinosaurs worked together with humans in the past, with Priam commanding them to build citadels via a magical flute. So off Adam goes to unite the land.
Anyone familiar with Dune may see some slight similarities here, though Lost Eden doesn't include any kind of strategy elements like Dune had. Once outside of Adam's home Citadel, which plays like a stereotypical adventure for 20 minutes, the game shifts to a series of five maps you need to unlock. Each is made from a grid measuring 4 by 12 for a total of 48 positions, each represented by a static CG landscape image. You click the cursor to move in one of four compass directions and the CG image changes. Those set over water can't be accessed, so some maps have closer to 40 positions, and certain areas such as beaches and forests will have items (gold, apples, mushrooms, bird nests) which need to be collected ad nauseam.
This forms the bulk of the game – you randomly wander the maps (actually, astute players should start in one corner and systematically travel in horizontal lines) collecting items while on occasion bumping into dinosaurs and humanoids. The humanoids tend to be in fixed locations, but the dinosaurs move around randomly and there's no way to tell where they are, so you need to scan all 48 positions, sometimes repeatedly. You feed the brontosaurus mushrooms and then play a flute, after which they start building a citadel. Later on raptors must be given gold to fight the Tyranns, and triceratops given bird nests to strengthen the citadels. Apples must be dropped in a body of water to lure a dinosaur that reveals which special weapon must be used in that area (these weapons are acquired as part of the story later).
Exploration is reminiscent of Myst, but whereas Myst had fantastical CG locations, Lost Eden's are a series of generic, poorly rendered landscapes, none of which have any bearing on the gameplay. It's akin to playing hide-and-seek using a deck of playing cards, but not the fun kind with bare naked ladies on them, rather the kind with pictures of nondescript lawns.
The majority of what he says is demonstrably incorrect. For starters, the joints of some dinosaurs are stunningly unrealistic in the CG videos, and almost throughout the game feels unfinished. A seasoned and determined adventurer could easily complete it in less than a Sunday. The Shell of Tau gives clues to the few puzzles which exist, none of which are remotely taxing (the best is a three question quiz, where the answers are quite obviously items representing the sun, moon and earth). Otherwise there are no dialogue trees, making conversations brief and linear. For the most part you'll be collecting mushrooms and gold to start citadels, occasionally being given a key item once completed, until near the end where you're tasked with traipsing back over all the maps to find triceratops.
All of the game's challenge comes from randomization and sheer luck during exploration. A key item, the Sun Stone, is hidden in a cave in the upper left of one map – there's never a clue you need to visit this area, but considering that the dinosaurs move randomly, the easiest way to progress is to explore every single area. There's an inevitability to the game, where not only can you not lose, but winning doesn't require much thought. Which is unfortunate, since it had great potential. Lost Eden's strongest points are how utterly balls-to-wall strange it is and the ingenious music throughout (it has an ethnic vibe to it, with tribal chants and cries). Characters are bizarre (one tribe look like Maori heads, others appear made of shell), the ever-present CG is of a surreal quality found only in games from the early '80s, and all the dialogue replete with absurd fantasy names is voiced with absolute seriousness. Steve Jackson is correct in saying the game's premise and atmosphere is unique, but the actual gameplay seems determined to prevent you from enjoying it. Those curious of Cryo's ability are better off seeking out KGB or Dune; Lost Eden is merely a strange curio. It is, at least, infinitely more interesting the incredibly drab Dragon Lore, released the year prior and at least a fair stretch better than the middling CG adventure game affairs that typified Cryo's output until their closure in 2002.


White pots are surprisingly difficult to achieve. I remember seeing a documentary about the colour which showed Wedgewood's research notebooks - it took him 144 attempts to formulate a recipe and method that he was happy with. The white glaze I currently use is one of about 30-35 I've tested, and generally speaking I'm happy with it. It even gives me a little romantic glow because it uses tin oxide. Tin mining was of course important to the history of Cornwall, home of my maternal grandfather, so it gives me a sense of connection.
However, all is not happy in the land if tin white. The tin has the unfortunate side effect of a tendency to 'crawl', pulling the glaze away to reveal areas of exposed clay below. Sometimes spots are small, like the rim of this jar.
Occasionally it is rather worse - as on this bowl.
Either way, every piece has to be touched up and then go in the queue to be put back in the kiln for a third time and re-fired. This generally solves the problem, but it's a bit frustrating to have work sitting on the shelf for a month waiting for the next firing - and of course it takes up valuable space in the kiln!
I'm currently making up a very large order for a stockist, 2/3 of which will be white - so you can imagine the dread of how much re-firing there will need to be.
Perhaps it's finally time to re-visit the recipe and see if I can alter it to stop the crawl, although in ceramics it seems nothing is ever straightforward... I could swap the tin for zirconium, but that apparently gives a slightly different colour and means you also have to adjust the silica content... or I could adjust the firing schedule and fire slower or hotter to see if that helps, but I can only test that with a full kiln and so every experimental change in the schedule risks a whole load of pots... Wish me luck!


Either professional or personal, a kinship without trust is more likely a phone without a cellular network; you won't be able to do anything, but play games.
It is all about trust, be it any sphere of this planet. "Never waste your feeling on people who don't value them by not trusting you," they say. "Should I be working for a place where people don't trust me," is the question that disturbs me all the time. But, you need to admit that if someone is cutting you in pieces, there are high chances that you handed them the scissor. It is quite an amazing, but pathetic and painful thing that people with whom we spend a lot of time, in the end, they prove that they were not even worth a second of that time. In a professional environment, after facing the first installment of the betrayal, people start hunting for available options; options like skipping someone, ignoring completely, changing workplace or tricky excuses. And, no wonder, this one is an obvious outcome, especially when someone's integrity is put under the scanner without any reason.
After 17 years of professional experience, I believe the main reason behind the stress at the workplace is not the work-overload, but trust. When you set out to watch the video and audio of office room or employees, in this case, I think the big problem is a deficiency of trust. People do not trust each other and they believe, this gap can be compensated by technology like CCTV, spy cams, tracking devices, strong web access policies, microphones, spies inside, and, etc. Though the main purpose of these security eyes should be – safety and supervision, but how many of you think that these equipment are used for the same purpose? There is a theory that says, "leave a child unattended in a CCTV room and then you will experience his real behavior." Isn't going like cat and mouse relationship? Is there any ''barometer' using which you can check whether or not you are under consistent surveillance? Are you sure that your honesty is not under the same scanner? Quite an easy task to figure out that hidden spy eyes; all you need is – "attention." Look for the things happening around you.
Should you know a little accounting, you will understand what am I talking about. You are the last one to know something and when it is about exclusions, you are the first one. Every relevant information is withheld from you and you are the last one to know. You are never invited to social gatherings or client meetings. In short, you are the last one to in and the first one to out. This is simply because you are not considered a trustworthy person.
Should it be about a day off, late arrival, early departure, mid-way departure or your work, you always see yourself standing and pleading on the other side of the director's table, answering his/her endless questions, which is not the case for others. Even if you are doing the things right and allocating as much as time you should be, you are expected to answer all idiotic questions regardless of time. In your case, the employer will never notice when you do something or sit late, but when you ask for early leave or fall short of doing something. Sadly, if it takes a day-off to make you realize your worth at your workplace, consider it as a sure short sign of being under surveillance.
The recruitment process sometimes seems quite funny to me. I mean what is the point of hiring someone for a certain job profile and then detailing him how he needs to do? Either your recruitment process needs modification or your recruitment in-charge. Feedback is good and it has to be there. Should you need growth in career, you then need to take that evaluation very seriously. But, at the same time, if you are the one who is served with maximum details and that too all the time, you must reconsider your tenure. In that case of consistent detailing, you will lose your originality and by the end, you will become an employee that fits nowhere, but the same security chamber.
"Oh! That was my idea." When you work in the corporate sector, you share a lot of ideas with your employer because you are positive about your office/institution. But, when instead appreciation, your employer overlooks you (your importance and your needs), you feel bad; anyone will feel the same way. The reason behind this is – lack of trust and that is what makes you feel like you are not a teammate, but an extra player. Should you employer trust you, he will always give you credit for the decision and will never doubt your integrity.
Let is be a corporate environment or personal, if you want a stress-free relationship, never highlight yourself and your extra skills. I learned this from an old supervisor of mine. People don't notice when you do something, they notice when you stop doing. But, if there exists the trust, "Where you were yesterday," will become, "Are you fine as I saw you missing yesterday." Again, this is a question of trust. You will be micromanaged for every single action of yours.
"Mr. A can never have a genuine problem, whereas Mr. B is always genuine with his reasons." Policies are only for a few and rest all are exempted from those because they are on the favorite list. Trust me, at such a place you can never earn the place that you are striving hard for and you will be always scrutiny for everything you say or do. You may also experience that the policies are extremely controlling or punitive and that too only for a few employees including you.
People say, "one should quit such a place where there is no trust and appreciation." In the corporate sector, it is a crab theory that most of the people including employees and employers are following and to make their dreams successful, and to do that they will keep you busy with distractions. Do I really need to tell you that such a place will absorb your energies, happiness, skills, dreams, honesty and your career growth? The employers must understand that these kinds of practices lead to a reduction in productivity, lack of interest in workplace's betterment, limited commitment, diminution in motivation level, and employees will behave in a self-centered manner, despite endless teamwork activities. Don't hire someone only for his skills, hire someone whom you can trust with his skills.
Do you think you are working at such a place then you should better ask yourself why are you working for such a place where your honesty is on a scanner?

The handling of damage to and repair of Indiana Limestone can make the difference between a good job and a marginal one. Over the years, limestone fabricators have developed handling methods which reduce the incident of damage in the mills; where damage does occur and is judged to be repairable, it is industry practice to make the repair and ship the affected stone.
Damage occurring in transit, in the unloading/stacking/installation process, can usually be repaired satisfactorily by masons at the job, often using materials supplied by the stone fabricator.
The Indiana Limestone Institute recommends that small chips and snips be left alone. Usually they will not detract from the appearance of the finished work, especially if they are not at or near eye-level.
Larger chips may be repaired using cementitious materials made for the purpose. This is the kind of material ordinarily used by the fabricators. Skillfully placed, these repairs are nearly invisible and are suitable for use at a building's upper areas, or those areas not seen at close range.
If the chipped area is larger, or if it is in a critical location, a "dutchman" can usually maintain the stone's usefulness. This is a separate piece of stone cut to fit tightly in the squared-up void.
Broken corners can usually be repaired satisfactorily using thermo-setting adhesives. Occasionally, depending on the location of support surfaces in relation to the damage, dowels, plates or angles may be required in addition. The resulting hairline joints are ordinarily not objectionable, and such repairs are structurally sound if correctly done.
Cracked stones are occasionally reparable, although when a stone shape has been so severely shocked as to develop a crack, its integrity may be suspect. Stones mounted to frames that resist both gravity and lateral loading are often the exceptions to this caution, depending on how the stones are affixed to the frames. This fact suggests that repairs to cracked stones may involve the addition of metal framing. Thermo-setting resins are the repair material of choice here.
Reasonable care in handling will reduce or eliminate the need for repairing Indiana Limestone. Most stone shipments arrive at the site in good order, and by far the majority of stones reach their final position in the building with no damage. For trouble-free projects, contractors are urged to follow the handling instructions listed in ILI's publication, The Contractors Handbook on Indiana Limestone.
Where repair is seen as necessary, a booklet entitled Repairing Indiana Limestonecan be helpful. Copies are available from ILI or its member companies.
Indiana Limestone will give the greatest satisfaction when it is handled as carefully as marble, aluminum or metal panels, granite, glass, slate, or any other material that provides a finished surface when it arrives at the job.

Financial support for World Rowing Championship in Saundersfoot
The Tendy Observer reports yesterday (reported by Katy Jenkins ): One of the first jobs of the new resident services and leisure cabinet member at Pembrokeshire County Council is to provide financial support for a global rowing event to be held in Saundersfoot this year. And this is good news for WRCC in Saundersfoot
(Pic. Martin Cavaney Rowing Flag Raising – Credit – Martin Cavaney.jpg)
Clr. Rhys Sinnett has taken on the new cabinet position in council leader David Simpson's post-election executive group, and at Monday's (June 13) meeting he recommended support for the world coastal and beach sprint rowing finals championship.
The event is due to be held in October in Saundersfoot at its newly developed Wales International Coastal Centre and is set to attract athletes and visitors from all over the world.
The seaside village also boasts a new national events deck space, visitor pontoons and moorings, slipway, dry boat racking facility, a welcome and heritage centre and coastal schooner maritime heritage facility, thanks to European Union and Welsh Government funding.
Clr. Sinnett said that a £10,000 contribution from the council's major events fund would support an event that "looks like something we should be happy supporting – attracting visitors and providing something different to the county."
Amroth and Saundersfoot north councillor, and new cabinet member, Clr. Alec Cormack, said there was a lot of interest locally in the event and he was "delighted" to see it being taken forward.
Cabinet approved a recommendation to agree a grant of £10,000 and enter into a memorandum of understanding between both parties and that delegated approval be given to the cabinet member for resident services and leisure to approve grants for events exceeding £2,000 within the envelope of approved major event funding.
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is also providing £10,000 and the Welsh Government £100,000.
Jeremy Wilton, Chair of the Event said: "We're delighted to be bringing elite international rowing to Pembrokeshire.
"The local area has a great history of delivering fantastic, welcoming international sports events and I'm very happy to see the community already well engaged with the event build-up.

Draghi Faces No-Win Situation As Europe's Central Banker

Draghi: Will face scrutiny
Despite attempts to block his candidacy, Bank of Italy governor Mario Draghi will become the new president of the European Central Bank (ECB) when Jean-Claude Trichet retires in October. Draghi's candidacy initially met with opposition from France and Germany. However, in late June a meeting of EU leaders in Brussels endorsed Draghi.
Michael Ben-Gad, head of economics at London's City University, says the Germans don't necessarily want to be in charge of the ECB but they would have preferred the new president to come from one of the countries within the eurozone that are running budget surpluses. Italy is a "vulnerable state," says Ben-Gad, "more so than people generally thought." Once referred to as "the sick man of Europe," Italy has posted weaker economic growth than some of the other eurozone countries. And, although its budget deficit is targeted at 3.9% of GDP this year, its debt is approximately 120% of GDP—not far behind Greece's.
Ben-Gad says it is hard to tell at this stage what kind of ECB president Draghi will make but notes that whatever stance Draghi takes, the job will be difficult. "There is going to be a perception of conflict of interest. If he takes a hard line, he will be pilloried back home, and if he doesn't take a hard line, people will accuse him of being biased. He can't win either way." Ben-Gad believes it would have been better with a president from one of the smaller surplus states such as Finland or the Netherlands. (The first ECB president was Dutchman Wim Duisenberg.) "[Because Draghi] is Italian, people will watch him more closely than if he was Dutch or Finnish."
What kind of an ECB is Draghi likely to inherit? Ben-Gad says Jean-Claude Trichet will leave a central bank that is "on the hook" not only for bailing out Greece but also the other troubled eurozone countries Ireland, Spain and Portugal. "There's this implicit belief that the ECB will intervene," says Ben-Gad, adding that the ECB has ended up doing things that it was not initially meant to do.

PALM EXPO 2012 was held in the new China International Exhibition Centre (CIEC). The New Venue, with more than 110,000 sqm of exhibiting space and 1200 stands, accepted 1700 exhibitors from twenty countries with their latest technologies and products.
TAIDEN joined this big event with several new products. The 108 m2 stand was divided into three areas. The prominent area was given to HCS-8300 Series Paperless Multi-media Congress System. HCS-8328 Series Paperless Multi-media Congress System Terminal, with a specially designed super-directional microphone array technology, provides a more favorable venue microphone pickup feature compared to gun microphones. The embedded CongressMatrix™ technology realizes independent adjustment of the volume of delegate's voices which can be routed to any loudspeaker. Resulting enhanced sound transmission gain significantly increases the distance between the delegate and his microphone. Thus it is possible to reduce the length of the microphone stem and even to cancel it. The perfect combination of the microphone array technology and the CongressMatrix™ technology enables the conference room to stride out of the stem microphone era.
The customized products and solutions for a large project in the US were displayed at one side of the stand. The latest digital mixer HCS-8301M perfectly combines with TAIDEN Digital conference system, providing real-time regulation and observation of all the conference system microphones as well as line input, line output and audio parameters of all simultaneous interpretation channels. This includes also the individual adjustment to each speaker's voice characteristics and modification if necessary. All parameters can both be stored and executed automatically once the microphone is turned on. A special technical requirement in the project is to enable user-defined interpreter booth combination and splitting. If one venue lacks in interpreter booths, interpreter booths from other areas or floors can be combined via network.
On the other side of the stand, TAIDEN exhibited the internet intelligent central control system which supports WiFi or wired Ethernet control, wireless control via iPad, iPhone, and mobile terminal based on Android platform. During the exhibition, many visitors were attracted to the TAIDEN stand to enjoy, test and inquire the products.
On the morning of May 26th, a technology seminar with the theme "The Development Trend Of Digital Conference Systems" was sponsored by the Organization Committee, and assisted by Shenzhen Taiden Industrial Co., Ltd., in the exhibition hall. The major speech was made by the deputy general manager Mr. Eric Ye of Taiden Industrial Co., Ltd. By Combining with the development of the international conferencing industry and TAIDEN development and engineering references, a comprehensive analysis was made about the conference system technology development, the scope of application, product research and future development. Mr. Ye also talked in depth about the conference systems development with regard to network, wireless and paperless multimedia directions.

As Rwanda continues to remember the victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, Rwandans and friends of Rwanda across the globe continue to stand together with Rwandans during this period.
The commemoration runs for a hundred days which represents the period in which the Genocide took place twenty-one years ago.
On April 7, about 300 Rwandans from France and their friends converged at Père de La Chaise Cemetery in Paris.
At this world memorial which is visited by close to four million people annually, Rwandans have built a monument in honor of over a million Tutsi that were massacred within a hundred days in 1994.
 Paris officials who came to support Rwandans appreciated the Rwandan spirit and suggested more should be done to help them feel even closer to home as they commemorate their lost ones.
"We shall find you a public and very accessible place in Paris where we shall be commemorating the Genocide against Tutsi. The place will be ready next year," said Pierre Klugman, the vice mayor of Paris during the event.
By the time Rwandans in Paris were commemorating, those in Senegal, a former French colony were also in the same spirit.
At "La Place du Souvenir", a site that was built to honor all the late African heroes, Rwandans were supported by Senegalese who know the Genocide and who refer to the victims as heroes.
Those Senegalese include Boubacar Boris DIOP, who wrote about Genocide in "Rwanda: écrire par devoir de mémoire and "Murambi, le livre des ossements".
In these places and others, Rwandans in diaspora are making #Kwibuka21 so touching through testimonies, movies and other events, which also teach the world about the Genocide atrocities and Rwanda recovery.
In Belgium, 300 mourners participated to a walk to remember, all with lit candles.
In Korea, school children sang the national anthem of their country, and Rwanda's.
Families in host countries are also showing solidarity, even in communities that have been going through atrocities like Soudan.
"There is a saying in Kinyarwanda that goes: Inshuti uyibona mu byago, meaning a friend in need is a friend indeed," Jean Pierre Karabaranga, Ambassador of Rwanda at Hague told Dutch people during commemoration on April 11.
More events are coming. In Canada, on April 25 Rwandans will lay a wreath in river Outaouais to honor the Tutsi that were thrown in Rwandan rivers.

Q: Windows: creating a virtual drive out of a physical partition Under Windows, is there a way to create a virtual device recognized as a disk drive, which would map to a single partition on a physical drive? It is my understanding that Windows doesn't treat all block devices equally; partitions are not accessed like drives.
I'd like to avoid creation of a virtual device from a disk image file, as this may result in additional filesystem overhead. I'm aware of OSFMount which mounts image files, and which seems to even quote support for dynamic disks.
One of the things this would hypothetically allow is the creation of an additional GPT or MBR partition table, and conversion of this disk into a 'dynamic' disk, letting me leverage Windows' software RAID. I did not find a way to make use of a single partition to store dynamic disks, so this seems like a possible way to hack it with minimal overhead.
FWIW, I'm running Windows 8.1 on the relevant machine.

Most of us don't give much thought to sleep; that is unless you have difficulty sleeping. I've always thought of myself as a pretty good sleeper. I go to bed early and I wake up early. I seem to have energy in the morning. And then one day Jim said to me, you snore, really loudly.
I love sleep. Sleep has so many restorative qualities and important benefits like lowering stress hormones, helping you heal, and letting muscles recover. Let's face it, I love sleeping because of just how awesome it is.
Not only did Jim point out I snore (and loudly is how he put it) but he followed up with- you should get a sleep study.
It took a while but I finally did, last night I got wired up for bed and did a sleep study. In the weeks leading up to the study I became more aware of my sleep. I began to question if I was getting good sleep. I began to wonder if in the morning I was really feeling restful.
Now we wait. Hopefully I can sleep well waiting to hear my sleep is.

Photosynthetic production in the oceans in relation to light, nutrients and mixing processes is discussed. Primary productivity in the estuarine region is reported to be high in comparison to coastal and oceanic waters. Upwelling phenomenon in the west coast of India and Somali region are responsible to keep the productivity high in the Arabian Sea. Sharp peaks of chlorophyll a) observed in Arabian Sea, from satellite imageries could be related to phytoplankton blooms due to upwelling. Turbidity and heavy cloud cover are responsible to keep the productivity values low in the Bay of Bengal. Oceanic regions in the north and south of the equator are marked with lowest values of primary productivity and chlorophyll, and referred as desert regions. High nutrients and ample solar radiation frequently trigger phytoplankton blooms in coastal polynias during Antarctic summer. Energy transfer model for primary productivity has been used to derive potential exploitable fishery resources in the Indian Ocean.

Festivals: The San Francisco Silent Film Festival
By Imogen Sara Smith on July 10, 2017
Get Your Man
In a summer when Wonder Woman was hailed in some quarters as a milestone for women in cinema, the audience watching Filibus (1915) at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival could be forgiven for wondering sardonically if movies are finally catching up to where they were a century ago. An Italian film serial in the mode of Feuillade's Fantômas (1913), Filibus stars the charismatic Cristina Ruspoli as the titular "mysterious air pirate." A crafty criminal who appears to be motivated solely by joie de crime, Filibus floats around in a futuristic airship staffed by loyal male minions, descending to earth to steal jewels and torment her nemesis, a respectable monocle-wearing detective. Ruspoli is gracefully androgynous and slyly gleeful as she flits between several alter egos, posing as the soigné Baroness Troixmonde and, in drag as the Count de Brive, mischievously courting the detective's sister. Directed by Mario Roncoroni, Filibus zips along with crisp, deliciously absurd plotting and an effervescent lightness of touch, amid gorgeous seaside locations that shimmer in EYE Filmmuseum's pristine, color-tinted restoration. Alas, only five short episodes of the serial were made before World War I shut down much of the Italian film industry.
Filibus was an audience favorite, but far from the only film in the 22nd annual San Francisco Silent Film Festival that featured an unapologetically dominant female star. Two were also directed by women: Dorothy Arzner's Get Your Man (1927), a snappy vehicle for the turbocharged charm of Clara Bow, and Lois Weber's The Dumb Girl of Portici (1916), a grandly scaled historical epic powered by the kinetic expressiveness of the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. Ernst Lubitsch's playfully stylized The Doll (1919) is a comic tour-de-force for German star Ossi Oswalda: even as she embodies the film's risqué central joke—her character impersonates a mechanical doll purchased by a gynophobic young man who must marry in order to inherit—she is more puppeteer than puppet, pulling the strings and sharing her private amusement with the audience. The peerless Louise Brooks stole the show with a tantalizingly brief appearance in the roughly 20-minute fragment of a long-lost aviation comedy, Now We're in the Air! (1927), recently discovered by festival board president Rob Byrne in the Czech Republic's National Film Archive. Though her role is essentially decorative, Brooks's appearance in a black leotard, tutu, and sleek helmet of dark hair, is incandescent enough to start a nitrate fire.
Brooks retains a cult following today, but many silent stars have been completely forgotten, and some—Priscilla Dean, for instance—richly deserve to be rediscovered. Director Tod Browning is known for his 10-film partnership with Lon Chaney, but while Chaney appears (as two different characters) in Outside the Law (1920), he's overshadowed by Dean, with whom Browning made nine films between 1918 and 1923. Amazonian in stature, Dean was celebrated for tough, action-packed roles in crime thrillers; in this tale of San Francisco's Chinatown underworld she is "Silky Moll," a gangster's daughter and jewel-thief. Even when demurely seated she wields a withering glare that could make any man quail—as well as a sun-lamp smile few could resist. Premiering at this year's festival, Outside the Law is one of a planned 15 silent films being restored by Universal Pictures (which has also restored Browning's superb 1930 talkie remake of the title), an outstanding and all-too-rare commitment by a Hollywood studio to preserve its library—and let it be seen.
Film history and even social history look very different when forgotten figures like Priscilla Dean and Cristina Ruspoli re-emerge. An even more startling discovery is the career of Aloha Wanderwell, the subject of a talk by Heather Linville of the Academy Film Archive that was part of "Amazing Tales from the Archives," a beloved annual program at the festival (where audiences routinely applaud for the film archives whose names appear at the heads of prints). Billed as "The World's Most Widely Traveled Girl," Wanderwell really was a girl, still in her teens, when she began barnstorming around the world in a caravan of Model T Fords, with a group that shot, processed, and screened their own travelogue films on the fly. Over six feet tall and immensely photogenic, Aloha radiates ease and intrepidity on screen, but she also worked behind the scenes directing and cutting the films, which are now being restored. The Academy is experimenting with pairing the silent footage with interviews Wanderwell recorded at the Smithsonian Institution, a gesture toward the live, unscripted commentary she would offer during screenings in the 1920s.
Likewise embracing the globe, the San Francisco Silent Film Festival brings together films, musicians, and experts from many countries. In this year's program, two films from 1929 highlighted the internationalism of the silent era, a promiscuous cultural mingling that was about to end as sound imposed linguistic barriers. In the British film The Informer, based on a Liam O'Flaherty novel later adapted by John Ford, the Swedish actor Lars Hanson and the gorgeous Hungarian actress Lya de Putti play Irish characters under the direction of the German Arthur Robison. Unsurprisingly, the movie looks and feels more like a German strassefilm (i.e., "street film," a group of lyrically gritty Weimar-era movies about life in the urban underbelly), with shadowy, menacing city streets and a noirish mood that pushes sexual jealousy and impulsive betrayal to the forefront. The BFI's restoration (also on the slate this year at Il Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna) is ravishing; the print has a pictorialist smokiness and the deep purplish tint of a gold-toned photograph. Henryk Szaro's A Strong Man, one of the few surviving silent films from Poland, features a Russian leading man (Grigoriy Chmara) and an Italian cinematographer (Giovanni Vitrotti), and shows the influence of both German expressionism and Russian constructivist theater. This feverishly intense and sharply acted film is drawn from the Polish modernist Stanislaw Przybyszewski's story of a fame-obsessed failure who steals the manuscript of a novel by a dying friend and passes it off as his own, compounding his crime with adultery and attempted murder. It indicts a culture of shallow glitter and empty celebrity that encourages people to grab success at any cost, and that feels all too close to our own.
The festival's lineup balanced "magic and mirth" (the title of an enchanting program of shorts presented by Serge Bromberg of Lobster Films in honor of the late preservationist David Shepard) with weightier fare. This year's program was particularly strong in films about people struggling through the nightmare of history, their lives mangled by war or revolution, their societies shredded by political conflict or the juggernaut of modernity. Victor Sjöström's A Man There Was (Terje Vigen, 1917) translates Ibsen's patriotic poem of the same name—about a simple Norwegian boatman whose attempt to feed his family during a British blockade leads to his imprisonment and his family's death—into a stark series of images that pit the man, also played by Sjöström, against a raging sea that seems to embody the implacable and indifferent forces of fate.
A Man There Was
Similarly, the searing Ukrainian film Two Days (Dva Dni, 1927) follows an ordinary man who, literally overnight, loses not only everything he loves but his faith in the social order to which he has devoted his life. A faithful elderly servant to an aristocratic family (Ivan Zamychkovskyi, in a performance that recalls Emil Jannings in The Last Laugh but is even more affecting), caught in the tumult of the Russian revolution, remains loyal to traditional feudal values despite his tender, conflicted love for his Bolshevik son. Director Heorhii Stabovyi shows he can put together a pulse-quickening montage with the best of them, but his intimate focus on one man's private disaster tells a more complex and humanist tale of revolution than Eisenstein's.
Battleship Potemkin (1925), however, was also on the program—perennially startling in its sheer beauty and visual force. Familiar films get a boost at the festival from exceptional, eclectic live music: Potemkin had percussive, atmospheric accompaniment by Sweden's Matti Bye Ensemble that eschewed obvious musical choices, while Harold Lloyd's The Freshman (1925) got a rousing, full-blooded orchestral score composed, conducted, and performed by students from the Berklee School of Music's film scoring program. Other music ranged from the meticulous, charming period accompaniment of the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra (which played for Filibus) to the edgier jazz-based live remix created by DJ Spooky (Paul D. Miller) for Oscar Micheaux's complex, troubling Body and Soul (1925), starring Paul Robeson as a corrupt black preacher who preys on his flock. Master accompanists like Stephen Horne and Guenter Buchwald, both multi-instrumentalists, supply music so responsive it seems to breathe with the film, a matter less of timed sound effects than of full engagement. The immediacy of this sound befits the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, which the dynamic duo of artistic director Anita Monga and executive director Stacey Wisnia have made into an event where 90-year-old products of a defunct art form emerge as the most exciting discoveries of the moment.
