Home Breaking News At the U.N. Climate Summit, May India Transform a Champion, No longer...
At the U.N. Climate Summit, May India Transform a Champion, No longer Apt a Casualty, of the Disaster?
In "The Ministry for the Future," published last year, the science-fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson imagines a path by which the world may arrive at a original kind of utopia, on the other aspect of the climate disaster: a "legal Anthropocene." It's a hard road, and many dystopias are glimpsed along the way. The novel opens in a town in Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, as it's hit by a "wet-bulb" heat wave, by which high temperatures and humidity combine in a manner that makes it not possible for bodies to icy without air-conditioning. Then the energy grid collapses. Twenty million folk in the plight die, including nearly each inhabitant of the town.
The scene is dreadful and vividly described, yet it stirred me much less than what happens next: India abandons its apathy and half-measures, and turns into the first large country to in reality revolutionize in repeat to fulfill the demands of the climate disaster. "Time for the lengthy publish-colonial subalternity to total," Robinson writes. "Time for India to step onto the world stage, as it had at the start of historical past, and demand a greater world. And then assist to make it real." A national team of workers sets about refurbishing the national grid and constructing wind, solar, and free-river-hydroelectric plants to replace coal-burning stations. In the next five hundred pages, the country leads the world by example in the defining challenge of the twenty-first century.
To portray this radical climate praxis, Robinson invokes present units of decentralized governance and regenerative agriculture from revolutionary Indian states, such as Kerala and Sikkim. He mentions dozens of real organizations that are making advances in ecosystem restoration, reforestation, profits generation, and water harvesting. The book does not advocate coverage. Rather, it gestures at a large horizon of local ideas and skills. In an e-mail, Robinson advised me that he has not frolicked in India, nonetheless he has in the Nepali Terai, a plight that borders the sizzling, crowded state of Uttar Pradesh. He said he was "very concerned to put in writing a version of India into our near future that is dash and extremely efficient."
Rising up in Bangalore, in the nineteen-nineties, I learned to mediate of India, for all its sins and failures, as a country that the world admired and even looked as if it would for enlightened moral and political alternatives. The past decade has largely buried that reputation, under headlines about corruption, demagoguery, and hate crimes. "The Ministry for the Future" taps a vein of national identity that has receded nonetheless not disappeared: India as a society ready to redeem a damaged mannequin of modernity.
After all, it did so once ahead of. The country helped lead the globe thru what was, for most of the world's folk, the defining challenge of the twentieth century: decolonization and democratic self-rule. This year, India kicked off its celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of independence from the British Empire, which formally took place on August 15, 1947. With that transition, the quantity of folk with suffrage nearly doubled worldwide. No longer fully did India lay a claim on democracy, the vaunted reserve of imperial rulers; it aimed to outdo them at it. From the first impartial election, in 1951-52, each citizen over the age of twenty-one may vote. The lowest castes, beforehand identified as the "untouchables," have been guaranteed representation in Parliament.
It's hard now to grasp how audacious India's gambit was. Skeptics, even among the country's allies, have been all over the place. Chester Bowles, the American Ambassador to India, expressed a typical sentiment, writing, in his memoir "Ambassador's File," that he was "appalled at the prospect of a poll of 200 million eligible voters, most of whom have been illiterate villagers." He anticipated "a fiasco," nonetheless what he seen changed his stare of whom democracy was for. "I have seen ladies folk defy faded customs and cast their first vote. . . . I have seen 'untouchables' walk for miles to stand in the voting line next to Brahmans." He concluded, "In Asia, as in America, I know no grander vision than this, govt by the consent of the governed."
India's transition from colony to sovereign democracy encouraged a wave of decolonization and democratic experiments across Asia and Africa. "When the time came for me to originate something about gaining the political independence of my possess country," Kwame Nkrumah wrote about Ghana, ten years later, "it was a natural factor that I may soundless take inspiration from India and her leaders."
The leaders of the independence scramble left political and ethical legacies that may also assist shape a climate revolution. Gandhi, from the time of his first published book, developed his argument against British rule thru a critique of industrial civilization, its "indefinite multiplicity of wants," and its relentless hunt for brand original lands, sources, and folk to take advantage of. Gandhi's corollary, swarāj, referred not appropriate to political self-rule nonetheless also to decentralized, self-satisfactory ways of living. (His belief in the Indian village as a scene of potential swarāj was fraught—it was also a scene of caste and gender violence, as one of his critics, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, pointed out.)
Yet Gandhi was prescient about the pathways of industrial increase. "God forbid that India may soundless ever take to industrialization after the manner of the West," he wrote in 1928, in his paper "Younger India." "If an total nation of 300 million took to similar economic exploitation, it would strip the world bare fancy locusts." Gandhi's writings are soundless a touchstone for natural farmers and organic initiatives across India; Robinson name-checks many of them in "The Ministry for the Future." A 2019 editorial in the journal Nature concluded that "Gandhi's dedication to what we now call sustainability is perhaps more relevant today than in his possess time."
Ambedkar was born into an "untouchable" caste, nonetheless he became a founding jurist of the Republic of India. As a ferocious critic of Gandhi on the situation of caste, and as the chief draftsman of India's Structure, he made obvious that the country's battle against international exploitation and empire did not legitimize exploitation inherent in Indian society. Ambedkar's affect is rising among young Indians, and his analyses of social energy and sight for the hypocrisies of crusading élites are as critical for the climate scramble as they have been for India's independence scramble, which was steered principally by upper-caste males.
Another spur to India's climate transition is the legacy left by its first Top Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. His revolutionary, internationalist outlook extended past the dismantling of empire, and was proactive about the original perils faced by the world at large. I was reminded of this while reading about Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein's manifesto of 1955, signed by the world's leading atomic scientists—a landmark ethical renegotiation of war in gentle of the nuclear bomb. It also called for an international conference of scientists to confront this existential threat to the human species. Whereas Russell was drafting the textual yell, Nehru wrote to him offering to host the conference in Original Delhi. Russell agreed, nonetheless that plan was derailed by the Suez Disaster; the tournament moved to Nova Scotia, giving upward thrust to the Nobel Prize-winning Pugwash Conferences.
These legacies soundless have vast subscription among Indians today, and the energy to persuade heaps of of millions. Alongside them is India's ecological heritage, with roots in each peasant traditions—such as Chipko, the original and literal tree-hugging protests to save forests in the Himalayan foothills—and tribal cultures, which protect hills and streams against extractive mining in central India.

There is a certain je ne sais quoi about getting to the end of the day with a lengthy list of accomplished tasks under the belt and swollen ankles from running around in so much productivity, dancing and bouncing like a washing machine from one errand to another, the pen flying across the page as you almost need to eat another banana to make up for the calories you are burning by checking so many things off.
To get to the end of the day, stare at your slightly haggard face in the lamplit mirror as the sun slips slyly down the hills around you, and give yourself a meaty pat on the back for your optimization skills.
We lived at least three days today, dear friend, you tell yourself as you forcibly hold your eyelids up with two fingers. You don't know whether to go to bed now, as your body is so vehemently insisting, or to swig some more Turkish coffee and reboard the productivity train. Because who knows when this feeling is going to come again?
These days are good. That feeling of yanking your feet up against the wall to let the blood drain from your ankles. Because you are a conqueror. You are an animal. You destroyed the bloody day.
When the cool Spring sun hits the late afternoon, and the fluffy white clouds laze against their painted background, and the birds begin to hum and yammer around you, and the breeze shuffles you into the smells of adolescent flowers.
You peel back the windows, you shove aside the books, you leave your face unmolested by makeup and you simply exist.
My beautiful friend, Amanda–may her light and joy always radiate from behind her electric eyeballs–shipped herself to me from Kansas about a week ago. We met in Barcelona (a strong holler to the affordability of Norwegian Air), and spent a day of general warmth and frivolity zipping around that buzzing city, before chucking off to Paris for a few days.
In Paris, we danced all ova da place.
Our days were filled with good views, brews, and gluten, and from the teensy beautiful Parisian studio flat on the top floor, we participated in the glory that is the Parisian vibe.
Our days were layered with themes of optimization, and we indeed lived three days for each day spent dancing. Which was infinitely preferable to alternatives, this is perhaps the only appropriate way to experience such a vibing city in three days.
And then we peaced back to Graz for a bit, so that yours truly could actually attend the classes she's supposed to go to more regularly that she finds herself doing, and so that we could….digest…before shimmying to London for the final leg.
Tuesday and Wednesday–the only days that I had Uni courses this week–were spent with minute obligations. But as soon as Thursday hit the floor, Amanda and I entirely peaced out of maintaining any kind of plan or structure.
While it was so monstrously satisfying to sincerely conquer each day in Paris, the absence of literally any need (or desire) to plan anything has been so much lovely.
Each day has been filled with momentous uncontrolled conversation, happening upon various spontaneous cafes, park picnics, flatmate connections, and breezy breezy Spring sun.
Chill is wonderful. My eyelids haven't been fully open in sometime now, the need entirely dismissed, and my skin feels taunt with the weight of Vitamin D from the sun oozing in through the open windows.
Mhmm, what a marvelous Spring life this is. May the chill in your life ooze into your days and appropriately leave you when you need to sit down and write essays.


Jeff Cavins explores the reasons why many Catholics do not seem to understand and appreciate the Holy Eucharist–and why some have even left the Church, saying that they simply weren't being "fed" and that they longed for a more personal, "spiritually nourishing" relationship with Jesus. He also focuses on the clear biblical evidence for the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Cavins points out that it is impossible to read the sixth chapter of John's gospel literally without recognizing that the Eucharist is more than just a "symbol" of God's love. Rather, it is the very heart of Christianity, the only food that truly satisfies our souls. Paper.

I found this interesting publication on Open Innovation, written by Michael Flynn. Flynn is director of Technology and Innovation Platform Organization at SAP Labs and the title of his work is "A Framework for Open Innovation".
The article includes some guidelines to accelerate innovation through Open Innovation. One of the interesting aspects it refers to are the Open Innovation facilitators.
Currently, the great challenge of Open Innovation is still companies openness. Some roles inside organizations can help. Thus, the author lists four types that would aid a company to pass from occasional practitioner of Open Innovation to an industry leader.
External Brokers: They mediate between the enterprise and the outside world. With vision, passion, and talent for networking and decision-making, they have communication skills and persistence. They combine deep expertise with interest and engagement in diverse business areas. They can drive a cultural change in organizations and connect functional groups within it.
Internal Brokers: This profile knows the organization very well and a lot of people involved. They manage different communication channels and can facilitate the exchange of information across the company. They connect functions and business units.
Scouts: Managers and senior technical experts fit here. They work to identify future trends and technologies outside the company. Scouts have a consulting position and are less involved in operational business than the other two roles.
Champions: The senior leaders. Champions own an overall portfolio of innovation projects and they execute the collaboration with external resources. This is the best position to incorporate Open Innovation into the companies' DNA.

Q: Searching entries using ldapsearch I am new to learning ldap authentication. Now there are two commands that I can use to search ldap directory:
First one:
ldapsearch -b "base directoty path" -D "cn=manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com" -W "ldap pwd"

Second one:
ldapsearch -x -b "dn of entry to be searched"

The first command requires my pwd, whereas the second doesn't. What is actually happening here?

A: With:

ldapsearch -b "base directoty path" -D "cn=manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com"
  -W "ldap pwd"

You are requesting the server prompt with password "-W". to not prompt, use "-w".
With

'Dunkirk' Funkirk
By Rebecca Pahle | Reviews | July 23, 2017 |
I would like to start this review off with an apology.
Dunkirk, despite my headline, is not a fun movie.
It is a good movie. One bordering on great, even. The best movie Christopher Nolan's done in years… and I say that as someone who likes (most, sorry The Dark Knight Rises) Nolan movies. Immersive, riveting, intense. Might give you a heart attack. But not "fun."
But when have you even known me to pass up an opportunity for a stupid pun? It's just not done…. kirk.
Christopher Nolan follows up 2014's space porn extravaganza Interstellar with a terrestrial tale of the evacuation at Dunkirk, which saw a civilian fleet mobilize to save the British army trapped on a French beach in the early days of World War II. This movie is Nolan crystallized—it allows him to double down on the things he's good at and jettison the things he's not. It's a brilliant, breathtaking cinematic experience.
Remember Interstellar? How the worst part of it was Anne Hathaway's monologue about how love can break the laws of physics or some shit? And you are (I am) sitting there like "Nolan, honey, love ya, but emotional monologues about love are not your forte. Just…. leave it to someone else." In fact, nobody in Nolan movies seems to have experienced a positive emotion (or had sex). It's all grr argh mah dead wife and/or girlfriend. That's his go-to: need to give a male lead something to Emote over? Give 'em a dead wife! Over. And over. And over. He doesn't seem to get—or really care that much about—the potential for exploring his characters' complex inner emotional lives. Not to say that Nolan's films are devoid of emotion. But he's not a guy who's into the softer side of Sears. Which is fine! Nolan is who Nolan is. I don't expect Todd Haynes to stage jaw-dropping action setpieces or Michael Bay to craft an enduring romance. I think Nolan is a master craftsman of bold, inventive, risk-taking blockbusters. But, as a filmmaker, he's also a bit of a joyless motherfucker. (If one who really loves MacGruber.)
All of which is to say that Dunkirk is a movie that matches perfectly with Christopher Nolan's sensibilities. It is a war movie in its purest form: one hour and 46 minutes (under two hours, yaaaaaay!) of characters just trying to survive in terribly adverse circumstances. There's no room for sentimentality here. There's barely any room for dialogue, certainly no room for backstory-injecting monologues about guilt complexes and dead wives. (Yeah, you read that right—no one has a dead wife in this movie! You did it, Chris! You did it! Granted, there are like two female extras, and nobody talks about their lives back home anyway. I'm sure if someone did, Nolan would've gotten a dead wife into the mix. But I'll take it. Baby steps.)
However… Dunkirk is neither an empty action spectacle, a la Bay, nor an exercise in grimdark "war is hell" nihilism. The film is peppered throughout with small character moments—of kindness, of selfishness, of bravery, of compassion, of cowardice—that tell us more about these soldiers and civilians than any half-baked speech about "me mam back home" would have. Tom Hardy, as an RAF pilot tasked with stopping German bombers from blowing up fleeing British ships, does more with the top half of his mask-clad face and minimal dialogue than most other actors could do with a full, Oscar clip-ready speech. Newcomer Fionn Whitehead, playing the main British soldier, has a role that's virtually silent. But you don't need all that dialogue. Seeing him simply react to the chaos around him is enough.
That's in large part because Nolan's done such a damn good job of crafting the chaos. After Dunkirk ended, I felt like I'd been through some shit. This movie is intense. The aerial photography—Hardy and Jack Lowden (of the recent War and Peace miniseries) looping and soaring through the sky, with plane-mounted cameras making Hoyte Van Hoytema's cinematography extra twisty—is nothing short of spectacular. There are no cutaways to British generals planning the evacuation or German generals planning their attack. In fact, you barely see any Germans at all: they're in planes and off-screen, raining death from afar. We know what the soldiers knew, which is: A plane could fly overhead any moment and blow you up. Everyone's trying to escape, but no one knows how to do it. We're all probably going to die. If you have a drowning phobia, do not see this movie. You will not have a good time. Hans Zimmer's score, with its emphasis on ticking clock sounds and BRRRRM-type noises reminiscent of an oncoming plane, ramps up the anxiety to a nail-biting degree. (I'm not going to say you should definitely see Dunkirk in this format or that format, because not everyone has easy access to IMAX screens and state-of-the-art sound systems, but I would recommend catching it in the biggest and best format you can manage. I saw it in IMAX 70mm, and I could feel the movie in my chest. Plus, IMAX is the only way you'll see the whole film.)
The storytelling format will lose some people. From Memento to The Prestige to Inception, Nolan loves him a puzzle box, and that's what Dunkirk is. Nolan intercuts between three plotlines, one that takes place over the course of a week (the soldiers on the beach), another a day (a civilian boat, captained by Mark Rylance's character, en route to Dunkirk), the third (the RAF pilots) an hour. Like Inception, it's really not that hard to pick up once you get the hang of it, but I can see it striking people as unnecessarily convoluted. Personally, I liked piecing together a rounder picture of events from the different perspectives we get sprinkled throughout the three plotlines. It's interesting. It's different. And it's another way of getting me engaged in the proceedings, rather than just being the passive viewer that most movies call for you to be.

A history of NFL games on Wednesdays, as Steelers-Ravens prepare to play one on Yahoo Sports app
Frank Schwab
December 1, 2020, 11:41 AM ·3 min read
The NFL has played on Wednesdays before. It has never played on a Wednesday afternoon because NBC wanted to show the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center.
This NFL season is weird, and it reaches peak weirdness when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens (hopefully) kick off Wednesday at 3:40 p.m. ET. That's a nice lunch matinee for NFL fans on the West Coast. The game can be live-streamed on the Yahoo Sports app if you want to track some unique Wednesday afternoon football. Kickoff was moved to mid-afternoon to accommodate NBC's highly-rated "Christmas In Rockefeller Center" special.
We got to this point because the Ravens had a COVID-19 outbreak. The game on Thanksgiving had to be rescheduled for Sunday, then Tuesday and then Wednesday. It won't be the first Wednesday game in NFL history. But it will be just the second since 1948, assuming it stays on schedule.
Has the NFL played on a Wednesday before?
The NFL has always been pretty predictable in its schedule. The bulk of the games are on Sunday. "Monday Night Football" is a tradition dating back to 1970. Thursday and Sunday night games came after that. The league squeezes in a Saturday game or two after the college football season is done. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays are usually for the rest of the sports world.
This season, the NFL will go for the cycle. If the rest of the games go on as scheduled — that's a big assumption — the NFL will have games on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday this season. To some, that's a dream come true. It's a bit of a nightmare for fantasy football managers, but they will adjust.
There has been only one game on a Wednesday in the modern NFL. In 2012, the NFL moved its annual opening game of the season from Thursday to Wednesday. The NFL rarely steps aside for anything when it schedules games (Christmas tree lightings excepted) but it didn't want to go against President Barack Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention.
That's how the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants ended up playing an NFL game on a Wednesday. That's the only Wednesday game in the NFL over the last 72 years.

Some historic NFL games have occurred on Wednesdays
According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Wednesday games from 1925 to 1940 weren't that uncommon. Then again, that's when the NFL still had teams like the Pottsville Maroons and Rochester Jeffersons.
The first Wednesday game in NFL history came in 1925 and was between the Detroit Panthers and Cleveland Bulldogs. The first night game in NFL history was on a Wednesday, between the Chicago Cardinals and Providence Steam Roller in 1929.
From 1925-1940, there were 38 Wednesday games in the NFL, according to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In 1948 there was one more, a season-opening game between the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions. That game was also notable because that night the Rams became the first NFL team to have logos on their helmets.
Then the NFL took Wednesdays off until 2012. Part of the NFL's popularity is casual fans don't need to follow it seven days a week like the other major sports. They can gorge on a Sunday and check out games on Thursday or Monday if they wish. More serious NFL fans wouldn't mind games every day of the week.
In this weird season during a pandemic, they're getting their wish.

President Joe Biden in his short time in office already has turned the page on some major legal battles that consumed former President Donald Trump's administration while also taking actions certain to ignite new ones likely headed toward the U.S. Supreme Court. The Democratic president, sworn in on Wednesday, quickly signed a flurry of executive orders that wound down some of his Republican predecessor's actions or set new priorities for his administration on issues ensnared in legal disputes such as immigration, the U.S.-Mexican border wall and LGBT rights. Much as Trump overturned many of his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama's policies, Biden has begun to do the same to Trump's actions.

Atlanta, Ga. – January 7, 2014 – SMC³ announced today that U.S. Congressman Lynn Westmoreland [R-GA, Third Congressional District] will provide the opening remarks on January 21 for Jump Start 2014 (7:50 am, The Loews Atlanta Hotel).
"America's infrastructure is today at a critical crossroads. Despite its importance to the economy, our national road, harbor, air and rail infrastructure have lingered for far too long without a viable plan to position American transportation for long-term success", said Congressman Westmoreland. "I have a great passion for improving American infrastructure. Georgians have worked extremely hard to grow roadway infrastructure to support Atlanta as the transportation hub of the South and to deepen the Port of Savannah's harbor in preparation for the next generation of vessels soon scheduled to call East Coast ports via both canals. We've been equally supportive of critical infrastructure improvements across the U.S. that has such a strategic impact on fostering trade and driving economic growth. I look forward to Jump Start 2014." said Congressman Westmoreland.
Having served five terms, Congressman Westmoreland represents Georgia's Third Congressional District, which stretches from the Southern suburbs of metro Atlanta into Middle Georgia and south to Columbus. In addition to welcome remarks, Congressman Westmoreland will introduce keynote speaker Marianela Dengo, the Panama Canal Authority, for an update on Canal expansion and the impact on U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports.
Jump Start (Jan. 20-22, 2014) is an educational product of SMC³. Held annually in Atlanta, Jump Start is recognized as one of the U.S. supply chain's largest senior level events. Attendees include a broad range of carriers, shippers, third-party logistics providers (3PLs) and technology/solutions providers from across North America.

What Is A Second Mortgage And How It Works?
If you're looking to raise money, whether it's to buy a second home in Orange County, California or for practically any other purpose, a second mortgage may be the solution. Of course, as is the case with any type of loan, there are pros and cons, so let's consider how second mortgages work and talk about some of the advantages and disadvantages.
It's exactly what it sounds like - an additional mortgage on your home. A second mortgage is secured against the property, and the use of the term "second" simply means that this loan doesn't have priority if you should happen to default. If you default, your first mortgage takes priority, and has to be paid off before any funds can be allocated toward the second mortgage.
Why Consider a Second Mortgage?
You might wonder why anyone would want to take out a second mortgage loan, and possibly risk their home by doing so. Usually, a second mortgage loan is considered when a person needs a significant amount of money. Ready cash isn't available, and other sources of credit don't provide the amount needed.
Assuming that you've paid off part of your mortgage, or the value of your home has increased, you may be able to get a second mortgage loan because your home serves as collateral.
People also sometimes use second mortgages to finance other endeavors - perhaps a business startup, or to help a family member who's fallen on hard times. Sometimes, a second mortgage loan isn't a good idea. You have to remember that you're using your home as collateral, and if you default, you could lose your home. That said, a second mortgage is a relatively easy way to get money when it's really needed.
Second mortgage rates might be slightly higher than the original mortgage. This is because the risk is higher - the second mortgage, in the event of a default, can't be paid until the first mortgage is satisfied. However, the second mortgage rates will still be lower than most other sources (credit cards, for example, or unsecured personal loans).
Again, and it can't be overemphasized, a second mortgage does put your home at risk. If you can't pay it back, your lender can foreclose and you can be compelled to vacate the property. If you're considering a second mortgage loan, make sure that whatever you intend to do with the funds is worth the attendant risk.
Almost any lender will give you a second mortgage loan. It's what lenders consider to be a "big ticket" item, and they'll make a lot of money by giving you one. Start with your existing financial institution, or from the lender who holds your primary mortgage. Sometimes, by keeping all of your business in one location, you can save a bit on fees.
Online lenders and mortgage brokers are also potential sources for second mortgages. When considering a second mortgage loan, it's always best to compare before you commit. Make sure you fully understand up front what fees are going to be involved and what the second mortgage rates are.

The Nazi satire 'Jojo Rabbit' is a heartfelt coming-of-age comedy by the director of 'Thor: Ragnarok' that features an amazing performance by Scarlett Johansson
Jason Guerrasio Sep. 10, 2019, 2:30 AM
'Jojo Rabbit.' Fox Searchlight
Writer-director Taika Waititi ("Thor: Ragnarok") tells the story of a young German boy coming of age during the Nazi reign in "Jojo Rabbit."
It's a touching story filled with comedy that explores hate and bigotry.
And Scarlett Johansson as the boy's mother gives one of her best performances in recent memory.
One of the joys of going to see a movie directed by Taika Waititi is that you never know what you'll get from it. Even his most mainstream movie to date, "Thor: Ragnarok," is one of the most unique stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
So it should come as no surprise that his latest movie, "Jojo Rabbit" (in theatres October 18), is so unique it's surprising it was even made in the first place.
Set in Germany during World War II, the story follows a 10-year-old boy named Jojo (played by Roman Griffin Davis) who is obsessed with all things Nazi and dreams of one day growing up to become part of Adolf Hitler's special security detail. But when Jojo heads off to a Nazi kids training program, it becomes apparent that Jojo does not have what it takes to be a true Nazi soldier. Even a pep talk from his imaginary friend, Hitler himself (played by Waititi), doesn't work out as Jojo, in a dramatic attempt to impress everyone, ends up getting injured trying to throw a grenade.
Stuck back at home with his mum (Scarlett Johansson) and an injured leg, he's relegated to helping out in the war by going around town and dropping off propaganda. Then his mind really gets messed up when he learns that his mother has been allowing a young Jewish girl to hide in their house.

Based on the book "Caging Skies" by Christine Leunens, Waititi has crafted a very singular coming-of-age tale. We follow Jojo as his hatred for his discovered house guest leads to an unlikely friendship. But to get to that place, Waititi doesn't hold back in exploring the mindless hate Jojo had been fed most of his life by the Nazi party.
It's all done in such an outlandish manner that you can't help but laugh, especially the scenes of Waititi as Hitler. That is Waititi's intention: to examine the absurdity of hate and bigotry through comedy.
Waititi also pulls at the heartstrings. Johansson's performance as the good-willed mother is one of her best in recent memory. To counteract the hate that her son has for the world, she uses comedy (funny one-liners, expressions, even tying his shoelaces together) and heightens the movie in every scene she's in.
Honestly, this movie will not be for everyone. But I wouldn't expect anything less from Waititi. It's that journey into the unknown with him that makes it exciting. If you're ready to throw caution to the wind, I suggest you give this one a try.

Harry Kane, Little Gunners Who becomes The Tottenham's Sharp Attacker
"He was chubby, his body was not athletic and we were proven wrong,"
Who would have thought that the sentence came out of the former Arsenal Academy director, Liam Brady?
Harry Kane is one of the great players who studied with the London cannon team. However, for some reasons which were quite intriguing, Kane finally left Arsenal.
Former Arsenal academy director Liam Brady claimed to have made a wrong judgment about Harry Kane. Actually, Kane had once stayed in the Arsenal academy when he was eight years old. However, he was kicked out for being considered as "too chubby". Since then, he chose to join Tottenham Hotspur.
Having been kicked out, Harry Kane considered that Arsenal has an important role in the development of his career. Kane also showed his gratitude because he was increasingly motivated by the rejection of Gunners management.
Besides being considered too fat, Kane was also considered to have no bright prospects by Arsenal management. But with his determination, he built a great career and he deserves everything he wants.
"In my opinion, Tottenham's white-colored uniform is better. I remember when I had played for the first time against Arsenal. After the match, I seemed to have something much better." Kane said.
After experiencing various trials in his career, Kane proved that he deserved to be called a great attacker. He is strong, fast, and special.
Despite not having wonderful statistics before the age of 20, the coaches in his academy realized that Kane had special talent compared to other players. Even former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, was furious when Arsenal let Kane off at the age of eight.
"I don't know why he was released, I read it on the paper,"
"Even I did not know Kane was released. You know, I was angry at the time and asked the club why he left."
The lack of respect for the Arsenal management caused huge losses for the Gunners. Even besides successful with Tottenham, Kane was also able to show his quality with The Three Lion national team.
Kane is an exception among current British talents. On the front line of the national team, when Rooney's ability was declined because he was too old, the England national team still depended on a figure of Jermaine Defoe who was 34 years old. Meanwhile, 19-year-old Marcus Rashford has not yet been considered mature. But Kane made the England national team not too worried about the sharpness of their front lines, at least for the next eight or 10 years.
Meanwhile, Kane's former coach in the U21 national team, Les Ferdinand, said that what made Kane different from other players was his confidence. Moreover, Kane also has the ability to read games.
"For me, the quality that made him appear as a promising young man was his extraordinary confidence,"
"He is a very great player. He always knows where he has to move. "
Kane's management was fairly rapid. He has become a new idol since the age of 20 in 2014. Although he was once thought to be a one-season-only player, Kane still showed off his skills. What Kane is showing right now makes a lot of people seem to not believe. This is because young English players often fail to shine as they are too quickly complacent with the popularity as a Premier League player. But Kane wasn't like most Premier League youths. He was far from nightclubs and alcohol, and he spent more time relaxing with his friends.
For Arsenal, the story of Harry Kane becomes a carelessness that cannot be forgiven. The 'chubby' player they refused became the deadliest spearhead.

We've had a fantastic growing year for our eggplants, making us very happy at the farm since eggplant is on the top of our favourite veggies list! Denise loves to make big batches of babagaboush that we all take home at the end of the day, each batch seems to be better then the last. One day we'll share her recipe with you ;) Today we did our last harvest of eggplant for the season in anticipation of frost! We recently tried out this recipe from Chatelaine and loved it, so hope you enjoy it as well!
Keeping the eggplant attached at the stem, slice eggplants vertically, 1/2 in. apart. Press each eggplant at the stem until the slices fan out, then brush with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Arrange on sheet and bake, flipping halfway, until tender, about 30 min.
Sauce: Whisk yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, 1/2 tsp sumac and salt in a bowl. Slowly whisk in 1/3 cup water, plus 1 tbsp, until smooth. To serve, drizzle over eggplants. Top with pomegranate seeds, mint, pine nuts and remaining 1/2 tsp sumac. Enjoy!
We pulled out a ton of cucumber from the fields this week! Since it's also tomato season, my mind went immediately to gazpacho. This gazpacho was really easy to make and perfect for a hot summer day. Feel free to mix up the ingredients as well. I recently had a melon gazpacho and with corn season upon us, I'm sure this recipe would taste great with some fresh corn!
Dice cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, onion and garlic into large chunks. Add them to the bowl of a food processor together with the, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salt. Process until combined but with a rustic texture.
Transfer to a bowl. Add pepper and adjust seasonings if needed.
Divide between serving bowls and garnish with the extra tomato slices, herbs, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy!
With lot of zucchini, onions, garlic, parsley and sumac here on the farm, once we found this recipe from Saveur Magazine we knew we had to try it. This recipe is great for using up what's in season right now and very easy to make!
Heat oven to 400°C. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger, onions, and garlic; cook until soft, 6–8 minutes. Add turmeric and zucchini; season with salt and pepper; cook until tender, 12–15 minutes. Stir in 3 tbsp. flour and baking soda; let cool.
Stir eggs into zucchini mixture. Grease a 9" x 13" casserole with remaining oil; sprinkle with remaining flour; pour in mixture. Bake until set, 25–30 minutes. Garnish with parsley and sumac.

1. I can't see the fog on the tracks when I playing the game 'Need for Speed High Stakes' of Electric Arts. And I've ever seen it on others PC with TNT2 or Voodoo2. It should have fog when playing the track 'Home Town' and 'Route Adonf'. Is it a bug of Matrox driver or EA's games?
2. I can't install the driver by launch the 'setup.exe'. It told me it can't find 'setupres.dll', 'setup32.dll' and 'setup32.dll in the same directory of setup.exe. But they were really in the same directory. At last I install the driver by expand the files by hand using the command 'expand.exe' of dos. I've tested the earlier drivers of G400. Their setup returned the same error now. But I intalled them without any error before. I think there must be something affected the 'setup.exe'.


Pharaway Sounds continues its excavation of 1970's Turkish rock with this little gem of a compilation. Alpay is a singer from Ankara who was quite popular back then, mostly known for his pop and folk material. But the Anatolian psych-rock movement was so strong that it swept in artists from all styles. In Alpay's case, the result was some of the most tuneful Turkish rock I've heard: 7 is just plain beautiful, 1 and 9 could be straight garage rock but for their gorgeous, emotive vocal lines. 12, the B-side of a single, is a real find for me: it starts with a buzzing guitar hook and evolves into an atmospheric Turkish folk-rocker that plants itself into your earworm-memory. And as Angela Sawyer (Weirdo Records) points out in her excellent liner notes, 3 will remind you of The Zombies' "Time Of The Season" with its intimate singing and fuzzed-out backing. The more 70's Turkish stuff I hear, the more I realize how much outstanding music was made in that brief era. Fans of psych and garage rock take note – there's a wealth of Turkish material you'll really dig if you give it a chance.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (KYW Newsradio) — You haven't heard a lot about the replacement for the Revel casino in Atlantic City, mostly because the owners are readying for their June 28 opening.
And a lot of work is still being done to prepare for Ocean Resort Casino's big day.
The biggest difference from the Revel days — and yes, they have revamped the place — is the customer approach. About 3,200 people, most of them quite familiar with the town, will be working when it opens, and some are being trained to help you get around.
"We have hired a team of ambassadors," said Seth Schorr, Ocean Resort adviser, "who are going to be here to hold your hand as a guest, to walk you through the property, to help you explore and discover and get to know it."
The property includes 1,400 rooms, all with an ocean view, that go for about $200 a night at seasonal rates. By opening day, 16 restaurants will be up and running, with a few more to come.
Ocean Resort is still working on the casino, however, including a central sports book and its entertainment lineup, although nightclubs are ready to go.
The resort is expected to get its casino license next week.
Ocean Resort will open on the same day as the Hard Rock Hotel Casino, housed inside what used to be the Trump Taj Mahal.
But Schorr doesn't mind sharing the spotlight.
"For two integrated resorts to open on the same day two weeks after the governor passed a bill to offer sports betting, you can't write that story," he added. "You can't make that story up."

New research suggests that whether rising inequality is considered good or bad depends on how it came about. An increase in earnings inequality due primarily to higher rates of return on education and other skills can be considered a favourable, rather than an unfavourable, development, a new study argues.
Chicago Graduate School of Business and University of Chicago professors Kevin M. Murphy and Gary S. Becker argue in a research paper that the debate around income inequality needs to be reframed around the idea of human capital and its increasing significance in the economy.
This trend is part of what is described as globalisation - the growing importance of professional and financial services in advanced economies like the US, and the shift of less skilled production jobs to emerging economies in Asia.
They see long-term benefits in the economic trend toward greater income differentials between those who leave school early and those who go on to seek college degrees and postgraduate qualifications. The income gap between high-school leavers and graduates has increased from around 30% to 60%, and has risen to from 35% to 100% between high-school leavers and those who continue studies to postgraduate level.
As economists, they argue that this rising premium for acquiring more education and skills acts as an incentive for individuals to raise their game and increase their marketable skills.
Rather than focus efforts on redistributing tax revenues from high earners to low earners, the economists suggest that policymakers should instead try to raise the proportion of young people who stay on in education. This would increase competition among the better educated and skilled professional workers and put downward pressure on wage growth, while a fall in the supply of unskilled or semi-skilled workers would push up wages in these groups. The overall impact, according to economic theory, would be a reduction in income inequality, at the same time as an increase in the overall educational level of the workforce. The benefits of this go beyond mere economics.
As the authors point out, research has shown that individuals who have higher education not only earn more but also live longer, save a larger fraction of their permanent incomes and invest more in their children. These characteristics reinforce what earnings inequality contributes to widening inequality in overall welfare.
"More-educated people are better off in almost every dimension," notes Becker. "The education process itself leads people away from more harmful activities and toward better habits."
The study then has to explain the stubborn refusal of many Americans, particularly those from Hispanic and African American communities, to respond to the incentives they describe. Their explanation is the low level of 'non-cognitive' skills of children from one-parent families, who by the time they reach school-leaving age are poorly prepared for college life.
Improving the education system is one avenue for improvement, as is recognizing that success in school is tied to the home, say the authors. This in turn suggests greater support for single parent families or more intervention to improve the non-cognitve skills of children from these backgrounds.
One issue the authors do not answer is: if individuals and families have to bear the whole burden of the cost of their education, clearly market forces will eventually cause fewer to seek higher education as the premium attached to this kind of human capital falls, as the pool of educated workers increases competition for higher skilled work.
Their prescription for reducing income inequality, which in the US and in other liberal economies is at levels not seen in a century, also leaves aside other factors that improving educational opportunities cannot address: the growth in asset inequality.
Arguably, asset ownership is a greater determinant of life chances than education. The benefits of rising asset values to families as a result of unprecedented asset value growth over the last two decades is the other great cause of growing income inequality in the globalised economy. Education levels, from this perspective, are secondary rather than primary determinants of a person's overall welfare in an unequal economy.
Is the Increased Earnings Inequality Among Americans Bad?

I just received it and tried it on, not only does it look good, but feels great.
The sheen of the fabric is wonderful.
I'm travelling over 15 hours in my french crown shirts.

Q: What can I use to integrate Push-to-Talk functionality in the chat module of my application Which tools/servers etc would be needed? Is there any articles or something that I could read along and follow to help me create the functionality?

A: Let's assume that your chat application is a web app. You could integrate it with asterisk through a library suporting sip (e.g. sip.js) working on top of WebRTC. In WebRTC, the sources and sinks of media streams come or go to audio (or video) tags that have attributes as muted (see HTML Audio/Video DOM muted Property) than can be managed by the app to simulate PTT. The PTT can be implemented with a button in the app, with a keystroke or even with an USB HID device depending on how much do you enjoy struggling with external access to browsers (I certainly do).
There are alternatives involving some kind of third party control (AMI, for example), that would take advantage that ConfBridge can be controlled to mute participants on the fly. It all depends on the specific requirements.

A: You can't do real push-to-talk using asterisk/sip.
Just becuase sip connect sequence take 0.5-1second usually.
Best option is use your own custom app which will maintain sip session(send sip ping every few sec) upto X(for example 1minute) second after last message, not send rtp if user not pressed key(but you still need send keapalive rtp to maintain NAT).


About a decade ago, working in a cosmopolitan media setup would mean landing a 9 to 5 job at an established publication that would send you to travel the world and meet corporate people if you were lucky enough to move to a city like New York or Hong Kong where it's based. Fast-forward to our modern technological era, working and learning with people of diverse cultures, race, and backgrounds in the media startup scene is no longer difficult to imagine.
April Magazine, as a global online media, has been enjoying the beauty of virtually working together to share empowering stories of Asian Women since 2017. Last December, our team went on a trip for a business workshop. From Seoul and Manila, we decided to head to a city that is most suitable for the setting – Hong Kong. Our plan was to review our growth of past year, plan the future of next year, and to finally see each other in person after working for months remotely.
To be fully immersed in the sophisticated city life in Hong Kong, we booked accommodation in the Central at Lan Kwai Fong Hotel. It is a sophisticated yet cosy boutique hotel situated at Kau U Fong, where every street connecting you to major transportation networks is comprised of quirky stores embracing the diversely rich culture of Hong Kong.
You can discuss the financial plan and marketing strategy all you want over online tools. The startup scene is filled with the latest support for remote work. But every now and then, you just need to meet who you work with, share the snippets of lives, and the joy and embarrassment of togetherness.
So between heavy business talks, we squeezed in the interpersonal connection building events, namely the fun part of the workshop.
Hong Kong's breathtaking cityscape is a feast for the eyes and soul. As we let our eyes gaze through the jovial lights enveloping the city's towering buildings, the country's global picture becomes more apparent.
At night time, we took the ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui for a landscape view of the city. We also had the chance to catch the Symphony of Lights – one of the main tourist attractions of the country. As we take a stroll around the city, we also spotted shops from proud Asian brands we previously featured like Vivienne Tam and Shanghai Tang.
Our hotel is just two minutes away from PMQ. If you'd love to explore the designs of local artists and innovative indie brands, this would make a great stopover. We explored each floor and saw a variety of pop-up stores channeling diverse designs—from streetwear to woodwork. PMQ has small cafes as well, so we stopped by in one to discuss editorial plans for April Magazine, as well as the rest of our itinerary.
We visited Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts to learn and discover a part of Hong Kong's heritage, and we were fortunate enough to catch the 'Salute to Kwan Kung' historical exhibit. And we made sure to drop by the world-class galleries like Gagosian, White Cube, and Opera Gallery.
Afternoon tea of chocolate bliss with unlimited soft serve? We're in!
What better way to brainstorm for ideas than over an afternoon tea. We had a pleasure of great menu at Hotel ICON. Hotel ICON started as a testbed for the hotel school of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and now it's considered as one of the best hotels in Hong Kong. Located in the middle of the old business center in Kowloon, it welcomes you with a lush vertical garden and shy smile of student/staff. And that was the spirit of young innovation we hoped to adopt.
As we have writers and journalists all over the globe, we took advantage of this workshop trip to meet some of them who are currently based in Hong Kong as well. Our contributing writers, who are also journalists by profession, took their time to share their ideas over dinner and drink. On the rooftop of IFC, the center of international business in Hong Kong, we talked of life and work as Asian women living in a worldly place like Hong Kong. The conclusion: It's hard and inspiring, the order changing every day.
The beauty of being in a media startup covering diverse cultural topics is that the source of ideas is vast. This modern cosmopolitan work setup allows women to work freely at their own pace, in an environment where they have the option to fully enjoy. Whichever country you are in, whatever your itinerary is, being observant enough in your surroundings can give you hundreds of ideas to write and share about.
On the other hand, the world is not an open oyster for digital media startups. In the fast-changing business scene, we don't know for sure how long can we thrive, and how many workshops we can have in the future. Thus, we try to enjoy the meaningful work we do and the brilliant people we work with every day we can.
More than a trip, this workshop made us explore, create and learn things together – as a team.

Dear Reader, the postman came. I was expecting a shoebox.
There was a shoebox. To fit a clown's shoe. And it was inside a considerably bigger box, ingeniously packed with newspaper and squished egg boxes.
My father has never been one for hyperbole, so when he said there was "some bits and pieces', I assumed thats what would arrive. Shows how much I know.
About 25, in all. And then there were the bracelets….
About 100 of them, in fact.
Not to mention some odd earrings, bits and pieces, brooches and even three random lobster clasps! I think it's safe to say it was considerably more than I was expecting! So if anyone wants me, I'll be over in the corner, planning and deconstructing and reconstructing. For the foreseeable future!
This entry was posted in jewellery and tagged beads, braelets, charms, metakl, necklaces, wooden.
Thanks for stopping by! It was an Aladdin's cave of beads! And also slightly overwhelming! I have only just used the very first piece from the box and upcycled it – post coming soon!
I thought you had inherited the stash from someone…ha ha, guess I didn't pay enough attention. I am a beader and never saw a bead I didn't like, so beautiful beads and things never fail to get my attention.

Amazing. I didn't hate it at all. I'm even looking forward to the other two series in the trilogy.
The original version of this story is a highly praised adult visual novel (i.e. computer game), with about 80 hours of gameplay that got boiled down here to 13 episodes. By my calculations, that meant discarding about 95% of the original material. Unsurprisingly, the comments I've seen from game fans have been savage, calling the show a train wreck and asking why it wasn't given more episodes. I get the impression that over-condensed adaptation is a problem with many modern anime series.
Me, though, I liked it. I thought it was good. I haven't played the game, so I can't compare. That said, though, I can see a reflection of those people's point of view, in that I think some of the characterisation gets lost in the wash. Too many silly girls and tragic backstories, not enough screen time to do everyone full justice. Thus, for instance, I don't think I was sufficiently conscious at the time of Sachi's peculiarities. She's the polite one who wears a maid outfit and will always do whatever anyone asks of her. Exactly. To the letter. Even if it requires explosives. (The latter isn't being played for comedy, by the way.) You'd think that would have to be a memorable character... yet somehow she gets lost in the crowd a bit. Thus, for instance, I didn't get full value from the gag of Sachi being asked not to talk about something, only for her to email around a picture of it, with the subject "I can't say a thing" and the message "I didn't see a thing".
The show's fundamentals are strong, though. Our protagonist is Yuji Kazami, an assassin who's asked to be allowed to go to school. As far as we can tell, he just wants to live a quiet life and be ordinary. Fat chance. Mihama Academy is a faintly prison-school with only five students (all female, eccentric and hiding dark secrets), which Yuji will decide is a place where rich people send their broken children to forget about them.
I got almost none of that from episode one, though, which instead made me think I'd hate the show. I nearly didn't continue. Episode one gave me the following:
(a) a harem hero surrounded by bimbos, with even the head teacher, Chizuru, surely being too stupid to live.
(b) fanservice and panty shots.
(c) every sign that Yuuji's going to become the focus of everyone's sexual attention, despite having the human warmth of a rattlesnake. For example, the episode takes only ten minutes to go from Amane's first meeting with Yuuji to her flaunting herself naked in his bedroom. (Nothing happens, but that's not the point.)
...and then, to my amazement, ep.2 was fine. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the whole series. No one else does anything suicidal (thank you, Chizuru), unless of course they're actually attempting suicide. The fanservice doesn't disappear, but it diminishes and stops vandalising episodes. We also get no more porn-logic scenes, like a naked girl in the bedroom of a boy she'd only just met. (Besides, with Amane as with everyone else, there was a reason for her actions and when we eventually learn it, it's an utter screaming horror.)
I'm not defending the director's arse fetish, though.
The characters also improve when you get to know them. Some had been good even in ep.1, though. Michiru was already funny and gets funnier, while Yumiko's hostility is a breath of fresh air. Get within slashing range and she'll stick a knife in you. (She's less striking in later episodes after the show's dug into her backstory and partly humanised her.) All the girls unfold and before long they feel like a family.
Yuuji's distinctive, too. He does help his new classmates, in roles ranging from therapist to hit man, but he's also a complete bastard who gives the impression of hating everyone in the world. In ep.3, for instance, Sachi starts talking girly to Yuuji and he just tunes out. He's pretending to listen, but his answers are just random words. That's dangerous with Sachi. Meanwhile his notions of helping people can be scary, although I was amused by his idea of playing Daddy. I was surprised when the last episode just uses him as a sniper, but in fact that was the right decision because it wasn't his story.
I like this series a lot. It's funny and entertaining, but it's also got some deeply brutal material up its sleeve. Survivor guilt, suicide, super-rich corrupt families, post-traumatic stress disorder and more. The visual novel's fans have some pungent opinions about this anime, but I think the adaptation works even if the fanservice can be ill-chosen and we could have definitely used more episodes. The ending's sequel-hunting, but that's okay because this month we're getting anime adaptations of the trilogy's other two games: Le Labyrinthe de la Grisaia and Le Eden de la Grisaia. I'll be watching them. There are things I want to know. Yuuji's sister, for instance. I'd recommend it, unless you're squeamish.


Of course, her concern was mostly for me; she didn't want me injured, but also it was a worry that since we do so much stuff together an injury to either of us inconveniences the other. The most recent daredevil feat on my part wasn't dangerous. If my skills didn't match my confidence in them I would merely fall a few feet into a desert pool of water, getting wet but not injured.
My mate regularly threatens me with God's vengeance. Usually the case is that I'll be doing something foolish or sneaky and she'll mention the possibility of the Almighty interceding. Also she will attribute a hardship or penance to God's involvement.
Last week we were traveling around the Southwest in our RV. We stopped at a friend's house to wait for her to get home so we could go for a bike ride. We were in the house and I opened the refrigerator and found a bottle of what I assumed was apple juice. I took a huge swig directly from the carafe only to find it was chicken broth. "That's God punishing you," my mate said.
It is comforting to believe in a divine cause and effect. In other words, good people get rewarded and bad, cocky or otherwise sneaky folks drink chicken broth. That is, pretty much, the premise of most religions. Be it karma, sins, nirvana, heaven or hell — good folks get rewarded, the bad are punished. As much as I'd like that to be the case, I can't say I have seen that occur — certainly not monetarily. By my observation, there is no correlation between good and bad and rich and poor — in fact, it might be just the opposite. But I will say, again purely by my observations, kind, compassionate and moral folks seem more content and joyful than the nasty and selfish types.
But all that said, my sin in the desert (according to my mate) wasn't one of the "seven deadly" variety — lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride — but rather one of being 60 years old yet feeling 20.
The savvy desert hiker tries not to leave a mark. When we hike there we try to confine our travels to established trails, slick rock, dry washes and creek beds. We will travel a quarter mile out of our way to avoid 20 feet of biological crust like cryptogamic soil, which if disturbed can take 100 years to reform.
I told her I did not believe in a vengeful God and also mentioned my catlike athletic ability and youthful good looks. I told her that, in deference to her timid nature and lack of coordination, she should go the long way around and I would be waiting for her on the other side.
When she finally made it around to the far side of the pool I was there waiting … soaking wet. When I maintained that, since I had to wait for her anyway, I decided to take a dip she questioned my honesty and insisted I fell in.
I told her God will punish her for doubting me.

Slow Travel is more than a state of mind: it is a way of seeing the world. Slow travel means taking the time to seek beyond the tourist attractions, to yearn for a fully immersive experience that reveals the true nature of the destination, and to engage with local life on all levels. In short, it is to become a part of the place itself, and to relish each moment of experiencing a life outside of your own.
We are Guillaume & Cristina, a couple of slow travellers living a slow life in Barcelona. We fell in love with the concept of slow travel quite naturally, far away from home during a one year trip to South East Asia. What started out as a way of travel turned into a way of living when we returned to Barcelona. We believe slow and sustainable travel is the future of tourism and we now dedicate our full time to find and promote slow travel activities and projects in and around Barcelona.
We personally test each experience and accept it only when following these 4 guidelines.
We carefully select only the most interesting and inspiring locals to share their knowledge and experiences with you. They are more than just run-of-the-mill guides — they are passionate locals that love what they do and can't wait to invite you into their worlds.
The businesses involved in our tours will always be independent, local and family run. We want to encourage travellers to support small business and help keep those vibrant communities alive!
Featured locations will always be hand-picked, unique, and off the beaten path in order to avoid the oversaturation of tourism. Travellers will gain a more unique perspective of Barcelona, and the local communities won't suffer the effects of mass tourism.

Mano Sebestyen and his family
Photo taken in:
Year when photo was taken:
Country name at time of photo:
Austria-Hungary, pre 1918
Country name today:
Where this was taken could harldly be called a photo studio. I see the background, part of a forest. That's my grandmother, Hermina Sebestyen standing in the center, she's very pretty and still looks young. Her left hand is on my grandfather Sebestyen's shoulder. They had four children; my mother, Leonora, is on the far left, next to her is Lili, in very cute littel lacy dresses. In grandpa's lap is Lajos, dthe smallest, and next to him, on the right you see Erno. I don?t know anything more about this picture. I just wrote their names on it. My maternal grandfather was Mano Neufeld. They magyarized it to Sebestyen, but I don?t know when. My maternal grandfather had six true, and six step-siblings. I only remember three of the daughters? names: Hanna, Frida and Terez. Of the true siblings, there was Aunt Hanna, who married Mano Alexander, and they lived in Satoraljaujhely. They had a lot of children. There was Odon, Sandor ? whose wife's name I remember as Cora. Dudus [a nickname]? I don?t recall what his other name was. Elza, Ilona ? who lived in Szerencs and, if I remember correctly, her husband was a doctor ? and finally Erno. Erno's wife, I believe was called Margit, and their son was Gyurika [diminutive of Gyorgy (George)]. We had a close, loving relationship with their family. You could say they were the most religious branch of the family. My grandfather was the principal of a school of commerce for many decades, and at the same time, he was a court handwriting expert. I knew him from my early childhood. He was a very kind, good man. He loved me a lot, but I can?t say much about him. I have more memories of my grandmother. I really had two mothers, my grandmother Hermina and her daughter Leonora. Grandmother lived with us. My maternal grandparents had four children, none of them are still living. Though my grandmother had her teacher accreditation, she didn't work. Women traditionally took care of the raising of children then. In the 1920s, it was not an easy thing to raise four children from one income. My uncle, Erno Sebestyen was the oldest. He worked a bit as a lawyer and was able to live through the war with false documents, working in a factory. There was a pretty big age difference between Erno and their next child, Lilike who was born in 1901. She died young around 1930. The family never got over her death. It was a tragedy for us, she got blood poisoning and they couldn't cure her. Then came my mother, Leonora Sebestyen, born in 1904 and probably died in Ravensbruck. My mother spoke very eloquently and attended the acting school for a while. But nothing came of that, most likely, due to financial reasons, she had to quit. She became a housewife and lived at home.

Serena Teluwo, 8, the youngest player in the ongoing CBN Junior Tennis Championship justified the investment of time and money her parents are making on her tennis by beating the No.2 seed Mary Udofa from Kogi State 9-6 in the Girls 10 and under round robin playoffs.
Playing on centre court with her mother, Joy and two elder sisters, watching, Serena, peeled off at 4 -4 winning five out of the next seven games to secure a semifinal place.
The Teluwos had sent their daughter to the JC Fererro Tennis Academy in Spain in 2013 at age six to establish a firm foundation for her development and played in two age group tournaments in America in March 2015.
"Serena has got the talent and enjoys playing tennis. We would give her all the support and encouragement she needs to excel." Her mother who led the cheers for her daughter said.
In other matches, national junior champion, Angel Mcleod was pushed by Peace Udoh in the Girls 16s but finally overpowered her opponent who showed some remarkable improvement from the last junior tournament. Mcelod who played in the Senior Masters last December won 9-6.
In some of the boys matches, Nmesoma Ekeugo edged Taiwo Olufemi 9-8 in a Boys 12 match. The two Lagos based players needed a tie-break to decide the match. In a Boys 14 match, Gabriel Friday from Kaduna beat Wilson Igbinovia from the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club 9-2.
The round robin matches are expected to be completed Thursday with four players emerging from each age group for the semifinals. The competition is featuring singles events in five age categories: boys and girls 10. 12, 14, 16 and 18.
