Hat vs. Bonnet: Name that Head Covering!
Continuing the theme of my previous blog – Rise of the Milliner in England: A History of Mad Hatters – today I shall talk about the various styles of headwear worn by women during the Regency. First, before getting to the specifics and pretty photos, I shall try to shed some light on the differences between a hat and a bonnet. This may not be so easy because there isn't a clear distinction between the two.
A good place to begin figuring out word puzzles is to look at the etymology for each word … usually, that is! According to the OED, the Old English, Latin, and Proto-Germanic words that all evolved into the word hat meant a "hood, cowl, head covering, helmet" and far pre-dated the word bonnet. Thus, for most of head-covering history, the general term for something worn on the head was a hat.
In the early 15th century, the Old French bonet originated, the meaning a "kind of cap worn by men and women" and was part of the term chapel de bonet, or "a kind of cloth used as a headdress." It was also closely tied to the words used for the material itself.
Most often when reading essays on bonnets versus hats, the chin ties are noted as the prime distinguishing feature. Oh, if only it were that simple! For example, check out the two fashion plates (two of many era plates) showing what are clearly firm crown and brim examples of various shapes and sizes, all of which have chin ties. Are they bonnets? Are they hats?
Other sources maintain that it is the combination of chin ties with a not-firm crown and wide brim that make it a bonnet rather than a hat. Admittedly, there are fewer fashion plate examples of loose cloth or straw head toppers lacking a chin tie (not counting obvious turbans and house mop caps), but as seen in the two fashion plates below, they did exist.
Additional features noted as commonly associated with bonnets are that the forehead is not covered and the back of the head is. Again, obviously this is not always the case. However, the usual claim that a hat is stiffer, worn more on the top of the head rather than further back, and with a brim spanning the whole width of the crown in a horizontal fashion is clearer to discern. All in all, it seems to me that the obvious conclusion is that the broader terms "hat" and "bonnet" are essentially interchangeable. LOL!
Moving on to the types of hats/bonnets popular or available during the Regency, this too is rather difficult to pin down with precise clarity. As I have often believed when it comes to "fashion" during past eras, it can't be all that different than fashion today. Meaning, for one, it was constantly changing and widely variable. Additionally, while those of extensive wealth and in high society may have tossed their hats into the garbage bin after wearing once and as soon as a new edition of La Belle Assemblee arrived, I doubt most women could afford to do that or were too sensible and practical. And, were those magazines a bit like Vogue or Marie Claire today, in so far as showing garments the average woman would never wear even if she could afford it?
Whatever the case, here are some of the unique styles from the era.
Lace caps, mob caps, or draped caps were made of lace, white linen or delicate muslin, and trimmed with ribbon. They could be ruffled, embroidered, or plain, depending on who wore them and their status. Caps were worn by women of all ages and marital status, although most frequently associated with married ladies, and were primarily an indoor, casual head covering.
Capotes, or scoop-shaped bonnets, were popular in the early Regency and first made their appearance in the 1790s and continued throughout the 19th century. The capote was melding of the soft, unstructured cap and a slightly more rigid bonnet. The brims were always narrow and made of stiffly reinforced fabric, and merged smoothly into the crowns, which were soft and shaped to fit the head. The hats accommodated the modish hair styles of that era, which were short or piled on top of the head. They rarely, if ever, included chin ties. Generally made to be worn outdoors, capotes were also worn as evening headwear early in the 19th century.
Late 1810s French cartoon lampooning the poke bonnet.
The poke bonnet was essentially an evolution of the capote as the brim grew deeper and more prominent. It is first mentioned in an 1807 fashion report in The Times of London. The crown remained small, usually soft (unless of straw), and snug to the head whereas the brim elongated further and further until completely shielding the face. Over time the brim reached ridiculous depths until occluding the wearer's peripheral vision, prompting caricatures such as the one to the right. Poke bonnets, strictly speaking, were narrow-brimmed insofar as the diameter of the brim. See the examples below.
As styles continued to change with clever milliners and designers creating something new, the poke bonnet brims widened and flared outward, among other changes. As can be seen in the three examples below, crown shapes covered the gamut as well.
Truly, the basic bonnet, whether of the "poke" variety or with a more modest brim, had no limit in shape, construction materials, or adornments. By far the most common style was the sunbonnet. Made of fabric or straw (or a combination of both), for casual and semi-formal wear, ladies donned a lightweight bonnet for protection. My various Pinterest boards have hundreds of examples from fashion plates to portraits to extant hats now safely kept in museums. Below are a few favorites from the Austen movies we love.
I shall end this blog here because there are too many styles of bonnets and hats worn during the Regency Era to cover in one post. To name a few, there were stovepipe hats, turbans, calash bonnets, jockey caps, and riding hats. The vast majority of hats were such a mishmash of style that they didn't fall under a defined category or name, so attempting to label them specifically is next to impossible anyway. Instead, just browse through the photos on my Pinterest Page and enjoy. Or, if really excited about hats/bonnets, read on and visit my shop – A Lady Bonnet Boutique – to buy one to place prettily atop your head!
Of course, this topic is inspired by my ongoing passion for millinery. My shops (Etsy and my online website/marketplace) can be accessed via the images below. The photo to the right is the bonnet and reticule set I made especially for the Austen Authors Autumn Quarter Giveaway. You could be the lucky winner! Be sure to pop over to the giveaway page for a chance at my gorgeous creation, a $20 gift card toward any item listed on A Lady Bonnet Boutique, or the other amazing prizes.
5 Responses to Hat vs. Bonnet: Name that Head Covering!
I love hats and have always grieved the fact that wearing a hat in church is no longer in vogue. Oh well, glad to see you are enjoying creating hats, bonnets and such… oh my.
I enjoyed reading this post Sharon. Really to wear a Bonnet than a hat- looked more fashionable. I can imagine Caroline Bingley's choices. Neer heard of the poke bonnet until today…that was interesting and that cartoon was funny. Thank you for the laugh.
Beautiful pictures! So many different hats and bonnets!
Enjoyed this very informative post. I had not heard the term capotes before so it was nice to learn the term for that style of hat. And I did not know the term poke bonnets either. I thought it was interesting that there was a cartoon making fun of them, I guess critics of fashion have always existed.


Each of these sectors is broken down into subsections for specific developments and then each is expressed in a predictive timeline spanning the next 15 years.
While no one can accurately predict the future development paths of these sectors and the arrival dates of their presently percolating deliverables, these graphics are nonetheless a highly ambitious and original representations of what might occur. I highly recommend a click through and examination of these visualizations to appreciate the magnitude of this undertaking. Moreover, viewers might also see a challenge and find the inspiration to perhaps start or add something new that may one day appear in an update of this chart in, well, the future.

With only a few days left until the World Ironman Championship in Kona, Hawaii, the excitement and pressure is mounting. But this pressure is only as much of a burden as you let it be. I try to see everything as a positive, and knowing that I am already triple World Champion brings with it a satisfaction, pride, and joy that far overshadows any last-minute nerves. The most important thing for me now is to focus on rest and recovery and ensure that I have a mental and physical plan for race week, and race day. The moto of every good Boy Scout or Girl Guide rings true here: Always be prepared. Preparation brings peace of mind, which breeds confidence and, hopefully, success! Here is a little window into my race week and race morning.
In terms of training, I will reduce the volume by about 30 percent five days before the Big Dance, as we affectionately like to call it. So the Tuesday and Wednesday will include some race pace efforts to remind my body of what's in store, and I take Thursday as a total rest day. The day before the race I do 30 min. of each discipline. I make sure I ride my Cannondale Slice before midday so that I am able to address any last-minute mechanical issues. As always, rest is vital, and I try and have at least 9 hours each night--getting as many hours before midnight as possible. Few athletes sleep well the night before a race, so I accept this and don't panic if I can't seem to knock out the zzzzzzs. I try to concentrate on relaxing my mind even if I cannot drop into a slumber. I always have a gentle massage on the penultimate day. Bodily hygiene is also a must, and I shave/pluck/clip/wax various body parts and make sure I clip my toenails to prepare them for the onslaught of the marathon!
Visualisation is a huge part of training my brain, and so I always go through the race in my mind, and ensure I have a mental, as well as a physical plan to deal with all the inevitable ups and downs – like my goggles getting knocked off, a flat tire, or nutritional issues. It is so important to visualise the whole event and give myself the peace of mind so that I can cope with the unexpected. I also spend my spare time doing things that help take my mind off the race--talking to friends, listening to music, reading, or watching a movie. The Shining is probably best avoided. Pretty Woman or Top Gun get my vote.
In terms of food and drink, I don't overhydrate or overeat. I cut down on fiber and spicy/rich foods about three days out to try to reduce the likelihood of GI distress and stick to plain foods, with a lower GI index, such as white rice, bread, and pasta. Retaining the same calorific intake coupled with the reduction in training ensures my glycogen stores are full, but not overflowing. I always eat my main meal at about 6.30-7 p.m. the night before a race. And it's always the same delicious and nutritious treat: tuna pasta with a tomato sauce, a bit of cheese, and some olive oil.
I always have a list of the equipment I will/may need and I check each item to ensure I haven't forgotten anything. It's also good to have spares--for example, I have two pairs of TYR goggles--a clear pair for darker conditions and a tinted pair for sunny days. I lay out my kit in separate piles for each of the three disciplines two days before the race--race morning is not the time to be worrying about where I have put my tub of vaseline.
On race morning I have my breakfast about 2 hr. 15 min. before the start of the race and get to the venue nice and early, leaving enough time for traffic jams and long queues. At this point it is crucial to focus on myself and not to look at what others are doing. In the final moments before the start I sip a little water and spend a few minutes relaxing my mind. I always have a mantra written on my water bottle and a bank of heart-warming images to give me that final boost I need--memories of crossing the line, images of family and friends, and songs that lift my spirits.
Then finally I take a few deep breaths and walk slowly down to the beautiful blue ocean. As I skull on that start line in a few weeks time I will know that I have done everything I possibly can to prepare myself mentally and physically for the battle ahead. There will be dark times, but the euphoria I will experience when I cross that finish line will overshadow any pain and discomfort I may feel. Hawaii is the magical, beautiful, hallowed island where I can put myself to the ultimate physical and mental test, and pit myself against the best endurance athletes--male and female--on the planet. And the place where I managed to make my dreams come true three times over. And as the clock slowly ticks ever closer, I can't wait for the Big Dance on the Big Island to begin! Aloha and mahalo!
Chrissie Wellington stunned the world of triathlon by breaking the Ironman world record for women in Roth, Germany, in July 2010. The time she beat was her own, clocking in at 8:19:13, 12 minutes and 46 seconds faster than her previous record. The Brit also has the distinction of winning the most esteemed triathlete victory three years in a row: Ironman Kona in 2007, 2008, and 2009. She'll be back this year to go for number four. Be sure to check the Outside Blog for more posts by Wellington as she heads toward the big day at Kona.

Goosebumps is a series of children's horror fiction novels by American author R. L. Stine, initially published by Scholastic Publishing. The stories follow child characters, who find themselves in scary situations.
From 1992 to 1997, 62 books were published under the Goosebumps umbrella title.
Since the release of its first novel, Welcome to Dead House, in July 1992, the books have gained immense popularity and commercial success worldwide.
The Goosebumps series falls under the children's fiction, horror and thriller genres, although Stine characterizes the series as "scary books that are also funny." Each book features different child characters[3] and settings.[4] The primary protagonists are middle class and can be either male or female.
The primary protagonists of a Goosebumps story are often situated in a remote location or somehow isolated from typical societal conventions. This can range anywhere from comfortable suburban areas to boarding schools, foreign villages or campsites. Books typically feature characters who either recently moved to a new neighborhood or are sent to stay with relatives.
The books in the Goosebumps series feature similar plot structures[7] with fictional children being involved in scary situations. The books are mostly written in first person narrative, often concluding with twist endings. They contain surreal horror, with characters encountering the strange and supernatural.
The author has plot devices that he follows throughout his Goosebumps books. He does not have any death in his stories, and the children in his novels are never put into situations that would be considered too serious. Stine attributed the success of his books by their absence of drugs, depravity and violence.

Hans Pischner (Breslau, 20 februari 1914 - Berlijn, 15 oktober 2016) was een Duits klavecinist, muziekwetenschapper, opera-intendant en politicus.

Leven en werk
Pischner werd geboren als zoon van een pianostemmer. Hij studeerde piano en klavecimbel aan de universiteit in Breslau. Voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog was hij muziekleraar.

Regulations will incorporate new European rules on current accounts into UK law.
Alongside the draft regulations the government has also published the response to its consultation, which closed in August.
As the government set out in its consultation document, bank customers in the UK can already switch their current account quickly and reliably by using the 7 day Current Account Switch Service (CASS), which was launched in September 2013. Major UK banks have also already agreed to make available fee-free basic bank accounts by the end of 2015.
In its consultation response the government has made clear where it has made changes to the draft regulations in order to provide greater clarity for firms and maintain existing structures that are working well. For example, the government has made an amendment to ensure that a fee cannot be charged for overrunning on a basic bank account, maintaining the current policy on basic bank accounts.
The rules will not enter into force until September 2016, but the government intends to make the regulations by the end of the year in order to give banks and customers as long as possible to prepare for them.

Greg Cohen predicts another title shot for Tony Luis shortly
Tom Casino
Despite taking the fight on three days' notice, Luis seemed to outwork Matthews in most rounds and would probably be wearing a championship belt today, had the fight been contested on neutral ground. Unfortunately, the European judges saw it another way, scoring it 114-112 (Jean Legland, FRA), 115-112 (Dave Parris, UK) and 114-112 (Stefano Carozza, ITA), all for Matthews.
Despite his disappointment in the scoring, Luis and promoter Greg Cohen say taking the fight was still a good career choice. Cohen of Greg Cohen Promotions, says he's pleased with his fighter's strong performance and will immediately go to work for the 27-year-old.
"Tony looked sensational on Saturday," said Cohen. "Taking the fight on such short notice, you'd think fatigue would play a role, but he was a machine in there. That shows you how hard he works in the gym. Of course we're disappointed in the scoring, but looking at the big picture, we now know we have a championship-caliber fighter in Tony. He responded perfectly to the pressure of a world championship fight. I will be petitioning the sanctioning bodies to keep Tony high up in the ratings and give him another title shot very soon. This time on neutral ground."
Luis will be returning to action quickly, he is set to fight for a regional title against an opponent TBA on June 26 at the Seneca Niagara Event Center in Niagara Falls, New York, and live on CBS Sports Network.
In addition, Cohen added this to World Boxing News:
"I thought the fight was close, but I definitely had Tony winning. He was the effective aggressor, coming forward the entire fight and I'm sure he threw several hundred more punches than Matthews and landed several dozen more than Derry. Tony's stock did not go down at all and I actually believe it went up, as the people of Europe got to witness first hand how exciting his style is. I can't wait for him to get back in the ring June 26th and we will do all we can to secure another title shot shortly thereafter."


Chinese military officials have deployed a highly accurate laser defense system capable of shooting down small drones flying at a low altitude, Chinese state media is reporting. The technology is expected to be utilized to eliminate unidentified drones flying over urban areas that are feared to be controlled by terrorists or conducting unlicensed surveillance activity.
According to the International Business Times, the laser defense system, can destroy drones and other small aircraft flying within a 1.2-mile radius within five seconds of locating the target, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
The machine's development apparently comes amid growing concern regarding the nefarious use of unmanned aerial vehicles. Drone aircraft is inexpensive and easier to use than more established weapons, raising worries that terrorists will use drones against crowds or buildings.
The anti-drone laser system can either be installed or transported in vehicles and had a 100 percent success rate in a trial against 30 drones, Xinhua reported.

Sometimes, the kindest words you can say are none at all.
I met a man at the poker table tonight who possessed nearly every negative personality trait I could name (and I won't, because I'm still trying to be kind). I was offended several times during the half hour I spent in his company. I could have called him out on his bad behavior. I could have engaged in a verbal battle. I could have tried to make him feel as little as he'd made me feel.
I don't know this guy's story (although he dropped enough hints for me to know it's not entirely a shiny, happy one). I don't believe that some hard knocks in life give a person the right to be ugly to others. But I also don't believe I have the right to judge that person. I may not have agreed with his words, his tone of voice, or his behavior, but it was not my place try to change him, especially since no one was getting hurt. I didn't see how an attempt to smooth my ruffled feathers by opening my mouth was worth the risk of adding more to whatever burden he was already carrying.
I'm not sure how many people would consider my non-action tonight an act of kindness. However, I truly believe that if more of us kept our mouths shut more often, as a whole we'd eventually become less defensive, less argumentative, less confrontational, possibly even less physically violent. Kindness would ultimately fill the void. I'm willing to do my part toward that end goal…are you?


When most people think of hearing aids, they associate them with those who are deaf or elderly. However, many people in all age groups with a variety of conditions choose to wear hearing aids for the litany of benefits they provide. Aside from the obvious advantages like partaking in conversations, enjoying music, or listening to the sounds of nature during a walk or visit to the park; hearing aids can help improve your life in a wide range of other areas. Tinnitus or ringing in the ears is one condition that is greatly improved by the use of hearing aids, but there are also cognitive advantages that come from utilizing this medical technology.
When it comes to tinnitus, most people have experienced it at least once in their lifetime. The random unexplainable sound of ringing or buzzing that does not seem to have a source. Typically, these occurrences last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, but for some people this sound is a constant presence. In recent years, hearing aids have been found to be an effective method in eliminating or stifling this disembodied sound. In fact, according to research over 80% of medical professionals have reported that patients suffering from tinnitus experienced significant relief after implementing the use of hearing aids in their daily life.
While many people do not realize it, your sense of sound or auditory system is very closely related to your brain functions. Studies have shown that signs of hearing loss in patients have also accompanied by significant cognitive decline, with the help of hearing aids the potentially damaging effects of hearing loss were effectively counteracted. Auditory experts like those found at The Scholl Center can help you determine if hearing loss is wreaking havoc on your life and provide you with the options you need to restore balance.

Q: JVM fairness while scheduling threads Are there any assumptions on how fair JVM is when it comes to scheduling threads for execution?
For the below snippet, is it possible to have "code A" executed only, with B being ignored?
public static void main(String args[]) {

    new Thread() {
      public void run() {
        for (;;) { /* code A */ }
      }
    }.start();

    new Thread() {
      public void run() {
        for (;;) { /* code B */ }
      }
    }.start();

}

The question is more of a theoretical one - let's assume that neither of the threads gets blocked or otherwise encourages scheduler to switch context.

A:
Are there any assumptions on how fair JVM is when it comes to scheduling threads for execution?

No.

For the below snippet, is it possible to have "code A" executed only, with B being ignored?

In theory yes.
In practice:

*

*if there was one (available) core, I would expect the OS-level thread scheduler to time-slice the threads so that they each got roughly 50% of the available time in the log term

*if there were multiple (available) cores, I would expect the two threads to run in parallel.

Note that neither the JLS or the JVM spec says anything about thread scheduling or fairness.  Neither does the javadoc for Thread.
To my knowledge, the only Java API that mentions fairness is the ReentrantLock API (javadoc) where there is a constructor parameter for creating a lock with a fairness policy.  This means that the scheduler favors the thread that has been waiting the longest on the lock.  But even this is caveated:

"Note however, that fairness of locks does not guarantee fairness of thread scheduling."

COVID-19: WHO urges global unity, defends handling of pandemic after Trump's criticism
GENEVA: The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday (Apr 8) pleaded for global unity in fighting the coronavirus and gave a strident defence of his agency's handling of the pandemic, in response to US President Donald Trump's criticism.
As the WHO prepares to mark 100 days on Thursday since it was first notified of the outbreak in China, director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus hit back at accusations that it had been too close to Beijing.
The UN's health agency has faced criticism in the past both for overreacting and for moving too slowly in fighting epidemics, but it has rarely faced as much scrutiny as with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trump piled in on Tuesday, accusing the WHO having "called it wrong" and months too late, while taking US money but favouring China.
US contributions to the WHO in 2019 exceeded US$400 million, almost double the second-largest country donor, according to US figures. The WHO website shows the United States as its top donor, contributing nearly 15 per cent of the budget.
Trump told the daily White House briefing on the coronavirus that Beijing's payment was a small fraction of Washington's WHO contribution, and that was "not fair at all."
The new coronavirus, which first appeared in China in December, has killed more than 80,000 people, while more than 1.4 million people have tested positive.
"The WHO really blew it. For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China-centric. We will be giving that a good look," Trump said on Twitter.
"Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?"

BODY BAGS IMAGE
Tedros urged the United States to join with China in combating the disease rather than indulging in a blame game, as he issued a stern defence of the WHO's management of the pandemic.
"The United States and China should come together and fight this dangerous enemy," Tedros told a virtual press briefing in Geneva.
"The focus of all political parties should be to save their people. Please don't politicise this virus.
"If you want to have many more body bags – then you do it. If you don't want many more body bags, then you refrain from politicising it.
Tedros also rejected Trump's suggestion that the WHO was "China-centric", saying: "We are close to every nation, we are colour-blind."
Citing the death toll and number of infections, Tedros implored: "For God's sake … is this not enough?"

PERSONAL ABUSE
The WHO was deemed too alarmist when it faced the H1N1 epidemic in 2009 but five years later it was accused of dragging its feet in declaring an emergency over the Ebola outbreak in west Africa, which killed more than 11,000 people.
Now the agency has been accused of delaying sounding the alarm over COVID-19 for fear of offending Beijing, for waiting too long to declare the outbreak a global pandemic and for failing to coordinate a coherent international response.
Tedros has been giving thrice-weekly virtual press conferences in a bid to be open about how the organisation is dealing with the pandemic.
On Wednesday, in a highly unusual turn, Ethiopia's former health and foreign minister spoke out for the first time about the personal attacks aimed at him, including racial slurs and a death threat, during the crisis.
"I don't give a damn," Tedros said.
"I am a very proud black person … When the whole black community was insulted, when Africa was insulted, then I don't tolerate," he added, referring to suggestions last week from two scientists about the continent's suitability as a vaccine testing ground.
SUPERSTAR SUPPORT
Late Wednesday, he retweeted the personal support he has received from the African Union and the presidents of South Africa, Nigeria and Rwanda.
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres lent his support too, saying it was not the time to criticise the early response to the outbreak.
"Now is the time for unity, for the international community to work together in solidarity to stop this virus and its shattering consequences," he said in a statement.
Tedros can call also on some top-level celebrity backing, such as US superstar Lady Gaga.
He has teamed up with the singer to launch a giant online coronavirus awareness concert on Apr 18 entitled "One World: Together at Home", featuring music icons like Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.
Tedros said there would be worse to come from COVID-19 if the world did not unite to stand up to its spread.
"Let's fight like hell to suppress and control this virus," he said.
"Otherwise, with the way we are doing now, I think we will regret it."

Respect is providing a home for many former Labour Party members who are disgusted with the government's policies of war and privatisation.
Respect candidates and activists who are mobilising to make the biggest possible breakthrough in elections across Britain on Thursday 3 May.
A new and vibrant Respect group in Sunderland is standing two candidates. One of them is former Labour councillor Keith Adshead, who has recently joined Respect.
Keith Adshead told Socialist Worker, "I left the Labour Party in December 2005 when I was still a councillor. Three other members of the party in my family left at the same time.
"We all worked in public services and thought we were safe with Labour, but instead it has privatised services. It has become distant from the communities. It has focus groups, but these are all appointed people and not representative.
"I'd heard of Respect at the time, but in my ignorance I thought it was just an anti-war party. I didn't realise it was about so much more.
"I bought a copy of Socialist Worker and it had an article about Respect. I found out more by contacting the national office. My first political activity was with the Socialist Workers Party in the late 1970s.
"It feels like I've come full circle. My daughter now lives in Bethnal Green in east London and Respect's George Galloway is her MP.
"I was a councillor for six years, in the Millfield and Fulwell wards, until I stood down. People in Millfield ward approached me to stand.
"My first Respect meeting in February was a revelation. There were young and non-white people there. It was consciousness raising event.
"I can only ever remember white people being on Sunderland council. I can't even remember any black minority ethnic candidates.
"Respect has a mixture of people involved in it, while Labour is not moving forward.
"Respect is growing very quickly here and involving all sectors of the community. It is a very vibrant organisation, which is proved by the fact that we are standing two candidates in Sunderland—myself in Millfield and Tafazzal Hussein in Hendon.
Sheffield activist Maxine Bowler is standing for Respect in Burngreave ward. Maxine won over 1,200 votes in the same ward in last year's election, finishing second.
Maxine told Socialist Worker, "Around 300 people came to the Respect meeting in Sheffield on Tuesday of last week. Speakers included myself, Tower Hamlets Respect councillor Rania Khan, Rashid Khan of Sheffield's Kashmiri community and Preston councillor Michael Lavalette.
"It was a fantastic rally. We are currently distributing our second leaflet to every house in the area.
"One of the big issues that is coming up is housing. The council is demolishing housing in Woodside.
Only 15 percent of the rebuilt housing will be classed as affordable.
"There is a real housing crisis in Sheffield, with a lot of people on the council housing waiting list. Burngreave is a deprived area and a lot of people can't afford to buy. So there are problems of overcrowding.
"The council is making this situation worse by demolishing council housing and letting private companies build on the area.
"Respect has produced a pamphlet and one of our members did a presentation on the subject to the Burngreave Community Action Forum. It has decided to call a hustings on the question.
"Respect is demanding that the council face up to the scale of the housing crisis. Sheffield should be adding its voice to the pressure on the government to review the restrictions introduced under Margaret Thatcher, which prevent council house building.
"In the last three years Sheffield took £121 million in right to buy receipts, 75 percent of which are pocketed by central government. This money could have built at least 1,200 high quality council homes.
"Working with the Muslim community in the area is a very important part of our campaigning. Recently I have spoken at a festival organised by the Bangladeshi community.
"In February, to kick off the election campaign, the journalist Yvonne Ridley and myself spoke to around 500 Muslim women in the constituency about Islamophobia.
Respect is urging supporters in the north west of England to help the campaign to re-elect Respect councilor Michael Lavalette in Preston.
There is a mass leafleting day organised this Sunday 1 April in Preston. And on Saturday 21 April people from across the country are being asked to go to Preston to join Michael's campaign.
To get involved in the campaign to reelect Michael Lavalette phone 07739 729 214 or 07852 937 248.

Charleys Tante (englischer Originaltitel Charley's Aunt) ist eine Farce in drei Akten von Brandon Thomas aus dem Jahr 1892.

Handlung
Die beiden Studenten Charley und Jack benötigen für eine geplante Verabredung mit ihren Freundinnen Amy und Kitty dringend eine Anstandsdame. Da die dafür vorgesehene Donna Lucia d'Alvadorez, Charleys Tante aus Brasilien, nicht rechtzeitig eintrifft, überreden die beiden ihren Freund Lord Fancourt Babberly ("Babbs"), als Frau verkleidet die Rolle zu spielen. Die aus dieser Travestie resultierende Situationskomik macht den Reiz des Stückes aus.

Rezeption
Uraufführung war am 29. Februar 1892 im Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds. Bereits die Uraufführungsinszenierung erreichte über 1.500 Vorstellungen. Am 21. Dezember 1892 wurde das Stück erstmals in London aufgeführt und am 2. Oktober 1893 am New Yorker Broadway, wo es vier Jahre lang lief.

Die deutschsprachige Erstaufführung fand am 18. September 1893 im Berliner Adolf-Ernst-Theater (später Thalia-Theater) statt, mit Guido Thielscher in der Hauptrolle. Im November 1893 wurde das Ensemble in das Neue Palais in Potsdam befohlen, um auch dem Kaiser ihr Stück vorzutragen, über das ganz Berlin lachte. Maximilian Harden schrieb einen kritischen Artikel über dieses Gastspiel. Am 15. August 1896 feierte das Stück die 450. Aufführung. In Wien wurde das Stück erstmals 1894 gespielt. Im Jahre 1911 zählte Leo Melitz das Stück in seinem Führer durch das Schauspiel der Gegenwart zu den meistgespielten Bühnenstücken in Deutschland. In den 1920er Jahren wurde es sogar am Deutschen Theater Berlin unter der Regie von Max Reinhardt und mit Werner Krauß in der Titelrolle aufgeführt.

Das Stück löste eine recht dauerhafte Welle von Travestie-Rollen aus. Zur selben Zeit, um die Jahrhundertwende, wurde Homosexualität, Transvestitismus und Magnus Hirschfelds Zwischenstufen-Theorie große Aufmerksamkeit zuteil (Sexualwissenschaft – Geschichte). Im Jahre 1901 diskutierte ein nur mit Initialen bekannter Arzt im Artikel Vom Weibmann auf der Bühne im Jahrbuch für sexuelle Zwischenstufen unter anderem Männer, die sich nach jahrelanger Arbeitslosigkeit und Diffamierung auf einmal in Frauenkleidern ein gutes Einkommen sichern konnten. Hirschfeld schildert in den 1910er Jahren mehrere Fälle von Männern, die ihre eigene Sexualität erst in Frage stellten, nachdem sie eine Rockrolle gesehen hatten. Und er schildert mehrere Anekdoten, in denen Männer in Frauenkleidern auf offener Straße von der Polizei angehalten wurden und nach der Behauptung, in einer Rockrollen-Inszenierung mitzuspielen, unbehelligt weitergehen durften. Vom Stoff des Stückes wurden dutzende Variationen geschrieben, die auf großen und kleinen Bühnen gespielt wurden, und allein in den Jahren 1910 bis 1914 wurden (mindestens) 36 (noch identifizierbare) Rockrollen-Filme auf den deutschen Markt gebracht.

Von 1948 bis 1950 lief am Broadway zudem eine von Frank Loesser und George Abbott geschriebene Musical-Version unter dem Titel Where's Charley?, die 1952 verfilmt wurde. Deutschsprachige Erstaufführung des Musical war am 25. November 1960 unter dem Titel Wo ist Charley? am Ulmer Theater.

Als Operette erfuhr das Stück eine musikalische Neubearbeitung mit Ernst Fischers Instrumentalstücken und eine dazugehörende Fassung mit Dialogen und Gesangstexten durch Dominik Wilgenbus, der auch Regie führte. Sie hatte am 4. Januar 2014 am Münchner Künstlerhaus Premiere.

Charleys Tante ist eine der bekanntesten Komödien der Welt und wurde in über hundert Sprachen übersetzt.

Verfilmungen
Das Stück wurde mehrfach verfilmt, zuerst 1915 als Stummfilm mit Oliver Hardy und 1925 mit Sydney Chaplin, dem Bruder von Charlie Chaplin. Ein Tonfilm mit Charles Ruggles in der Hauptrolle wurde 1930 veröffentlicht, 1934 ein deutscher Tonfilm mit Erik Ode.

Eine britische Parodie des Stückes erschien 1940 unter dem Titel Charley's Big-Hearted Aunt. Die bekannteste Verfilmung im englischsprachigen Raum wurde ein Jahr später veröffentlicht, mit dem Komiker Jack Benny in der Titelrolle.

Im deutschsprachigen Raum sind die Verfilmungen von 1955 mit Heinz Rühmann (Charleys Tante (1956)) sowie 1963 mit Peter Alexander (Charleys Tante (1963)) in der Titelrolle sehr bekannt. Im Dezember 1954 übertrug der NWDR Charleys Tante aus dem Kölner Millowitsch-Theater mit den Geschwistern Willy und Lucy Millowitsch in den Hauptrollen. In einer weiteren fürs Fernsehen produzierten Theateraufführung spielte Jörg Pleva die Hauptrolle. Der Regisseur Sönke Wortmann verfilmte das Stück zudem 1996 für das Fernsehen mit Thomas Heinze in der Hauptrolle (Charley's Tante). Bereits 1934 war unter der Regie von Robert A. Stemmle eine frühe Verfilmung mit Paul Kemp in der Titelrolle entstanden.

Eine sowjetische Adaption für das Fernsehen wurde 1975 hergestellt und erwies sich als großer Erfolg.

Historisches Hörspiel
Am 20. Oktober 1925 wurde das Stück als Hörspiel von der NORAG (Hamburg) live, allerdings ohne die Möglichkeit einer Aufzeichnung, ausgestrahlt. Die Regie führte Ernst Pündter.

Die Sprecher waren:
 Karl Pündter: Colonel Sir Francis Chesney

For the world's public broadcasters, connecting with children is central to their cultural remit. But the rapid transformation of the media landscape has made staying relevant to this inquisitive audience an ongoing challenge, writes MIP Market's Andy Fry.

Having said this, Doherty stresses thatpartnering with other pubcasters and international commercial players is still important, since it is a way to boost budgets. "One of our biggest kids' dramas right now is Mustangs FC, which is about a girls soccer team," she adds. "It's produced by NBCUniversal-owned producer Matchbox. It's a fully Australian show, but has worked well for CBBC in the UK and NBCU's Universal Kids in North America." ABC is also a partner on The Deep, an all-action animation series that also involves Netflix and DHX Media's Canadian channel CHRGD.

A Taste of New York
By Lisa Ganguzza| November 18, 2013
Last week, NYS Restaurant Association and NYC Hospitality Group hosted "A Taste of New York" at Time Warner Center's Landmarc restaurant.
[nggallery template=carouselag id=47]
What do you get when you put hundreds of food, beverage, and hospitality professionals in one room? A lot of talk about eating and drinking. Last week, NYS Restaurant Association and NYC Hospitality Group hosted "A Taste of New York" at Time Warner Center's Landmarc restaurant. The theme of the evening was local, and the importance of patronizing what New York State has to offer.
Marc Murphy, Executive Chef and Owner of Landmarc, led a panel of stellar New York food and wine producers. Panelists included Carmen Quagliata, Executive Chef at Union Square Café, Trent Preszler, CEO of Bedell Cellars, Steve Hindy, President of Brooklyn Brewery, and Matthew Ranieri, Vice President of Old Chatham Sheepherding Co. The panel was moderated by NYS Restaurant Association's NYC chapter Executive Director James Versocki and NYC Hospitality Group's Anthony Milano of Crown Design & Consulting.
The panelists were welcomed by Joshua Vlasto, Governor Cuomo's Chief of Staff. Vlasto assured the crowd: "when it comes to the food and beverage industry, Governor Cuomo is here to help and here to listen." Cuomo, who launched the Taste NY Campaign to support and increase demand for locally sourced products, even hosted a Regional Beer, Wine & Spirits Summit. Murphy, who attended what he referred to as the Governor's "booze to table" summit, made changes to his own menus to support the movement.
"Who has a government that tells them to make more booze!?" Hindy remarked, and went on to explain that before prohibition, New York State was the largest producer of hops. Over a hundred years ago, Brooklyn was a major distillery region. Now breweries, distilleries, and even wineries are making their way back into the norm, with an emphasis on local ingredients. Brooklyn Brewery recently teamed up with GrowNYC Greenmarkets to create Brooklyn Greenmarket Wheat – a beer produced with locally sourced grains.
Union Square Café has been hosting meetings with greenmarket farmers for nearly 30 years. Quagliata said Union Square Hospitality Group supports the greenmarket not only because it makes environmental sense, but because "the quality is better."
Ranieri agreed that the level of quality of NYS products can't be beat, and encouraged restaurateurs to consider that New York has something to offer compared to Italian and French counterparts. He urged attendees to support their local economies, and form relationships with the people they're supporting, by featuring local cheese on their menus.
Bedell highlighted a disconnect: restaurants will boast about locally sourced foods, then have an entirely international wine list. He explained that the local food movement is actually the same as the local wine movement. "We're growing our grapes in the same soil greenmarket farmers are growing their arugula in!" He noted the advantages of souring North Fork wines, just 80 miles east of NYC. Restaurant staff are able to visit the vineyard and learn about the product and where it comes from. It's also a sustainable choice, as the short drive imposes a lower carbon footprint than shipping across oceans and countries.
All the talk about local food and beverages was met with a spread of local cheeses, selection of oysters from Blue Island Oyster Farm, White Aphro and Amber Ale from Empire Brewing Company, and a Kuka take home treat from Andean Brewing Company.
We certainly got a taste of what New York State has to offer, coupled with expert advice to make local products available in the NYC hospitality industry. By putting New York State producers in touch with restaurant owners and chefs, we hope to see more upstate producers in the NYC market. As Murphy aptly noted, "If we do it here, the influence will spread."

Invitation to the first forum on UK Pharmacovigilance post-Brexit
By Sallie RobinsApril 24, 2017Events archive
Press Alert/Invitation
When: Wednesday April 26 2017 8.45am-4.45pm
Where: The Royal College of Physicians, London.
How can we maintain the UK as a pharmacovigilance powerhouse after Brexit?
The UK is a recognised world leader in pharmacovigilance – the monitoring of side effects of medical drugs after they have been licensed for use.
UK pharmacovigilance organisations play a major role within European pharmacovigilance, carrying out studies to ensure the safety of medicines given to the public.
There are fears that Brexit may significantly undermine the UK's role in pharmacovigilance: We would no longer be part of the regulatory framework of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) which obliges pharmaceutical companies to carry out these studies, and as a result these firms may not want or need to continue to conduct them in the UK.
To address this issue, the Drug Safety Research Unit, an independent UK leader in this field, has organised a Forum on UK Pharmacovigilance post-Brexit.
Speakers include Professor Saad Shakir, the director of the DSRU, Thomas Lonngren, the former Executive Director of the European Medicines Agency, Virginia Acha, Executive Director of Research, Medical and Innovation at the ABPI and legal specialist Lincoln Tsang.
You are invited to attend all or part the meeting at the Royal College of Physicians. There will be an opportunity at 12.30 for one to one interviews with Prof Shakir and others. The full agenda is here.
Please RSVP, or for more information, contact Dr Elizabeth Lynn, Head of Scientific and Educational Development at the DSRU on
The Drug Safety Research Unit is an independent academic unit which has been conducting post-authorisation pharmacovigilance studies on the safety of medicines for over 30 years. More information can be found at our website http://www.dsru.org/


To a lot of people, a full fledged video production can be something new and a challenge. With a few tips, a good plan and some research, you can be managing video projects for your company like a pro.
Before contacting a video production company you should complete some research to see what the company is about, see their past projects and gather any other information you deem important. After looking through a few sites, narrow down your list to 5 Production Companies. When you contact these 5, try your best to say more than 'my company is looking for a video.' That will only delay the process. Listed below are a few things that should be stated in every initial contact email or phone call.
Not only will this get you a more useful response back, but you will be able to jump into production a lot sooner.The key questions above can give a production team a much better idea of what you are looking for and allows them to begin drafting ideas and budgets.
There's tons of things that can be said about pre production and it's importance but I will keep it simple. Poor pre production will result in a failed video. You will want to take the time to plan out the shoot, outline goals, and have a clear understanding of what this video needs to be (or not be). One of the best things you can do is allow for a location scout. Location scouts are so important that we have written 3 blogs about them.
From the location scout the production team will draft a story board and shot list. Making sure everyone involved has a copy of the shot list and storyboard will keep the production moving and on time. This will be all put together in a highly effective production schedule.
With all the planning leading up to the production, it is time for the show! At this point, as the client, the best thing you can do is let the production team do what they do best and be there for help getting into the chosen locations and making sure they are doing what you paid them for. A lot of times there will be a monitor for clients to view and take notes . What you should be looking for is anything that can't be shown on the video (ie. logos, name tags, badges etc) and to give the director a nod that what the talent is saying is what you are looking for.
This is where the production team does everything from backing up footage, cutting, coloring and delivery of the final product.
To find out more on making the most out of video and a guide to producing videos, check out our e-book that goes over all of this in great detail.
Hope this was helpful and let us know if you have any questions!

Taylor Dudley: US Marine Freed From Russian Custody
Arrested US Navy SEAL Russia Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was released from Russian custody on Thursday after months of negotiations led by him, a spokesman for his family told CNN.
Taylor Dudley, 35, of Lansing, Michigan, was detained by Russian border patrol police in April 2022 after traveling from Poland to Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave ruled by Moscow between Poland and Lithuania. He was attending a music festival in Poland and it is not clear why he crossed the border.
Dudley's detention – which the US government does not consider "wrongful" or based on arbitrary and discriminatory motivations – was not widely publicized before Thursday because his family wanted negotiations for his release to remain private.
The Richardson Center for Global Engagement, a nonprofit founded by Richardson, spearheaded the negotiations, family spokesman Jonathan Franks told CNN. The former governor and diplomat has long worked to free Americans detained abroad, and his center It played a role in securing liberation Trevor Reed, an American citizen and former Marine who was wrongfully detained in Russia last summer.
Mickey Bergman, the center's vice president and executive director, said no U.S. exchange was made for Dudley.
Bronx said the Steve Menzies Global Foundation and the US Embassy helped secure Dudley's release.
"Earlier today, Russian authorities released US citizen Taylor Dudley, a 35-year-old Navy veteran, through the Polish border to Governor Bill Richardson and his team and a representative of the US Embassy in Warsaw, where the Richardson Center worked. Steve Menzies Global Foundation, Hostage US and James Diligent and quiet over 6 months with significant help from the Foley Foundation.The family will be forever grateful for the trio's work.
"The past 9 months have been difficult for the family and they are asking the media to respect their privacy and give Taylor a place to welcome home," he added.
In a separate statement to CNN, Richardson said Dudley was released Thursday at the Russia-Poland Bagrationovsk-Bezledy border crossing after nearly a year of negotiations. He also acknowledged the involvement of the State Department and the US embassies in Moscow and Warsaw in helping to secure Dudley's release.
"After six months of intense work, it's great to see this release of Taylor Dudley happen," Richardson told CNN by phone on Thursday. "We worked hard in Moscow and Kaliningrad and first raised it during our meetings with the Russian authorities Brittney Griner And Paul Whelan and Trevor Reed."
U.S. citizens Griner and Reed were released, but Whelan remains in Russian custody. Richardson said he and his team are still "pressing forward" in negotiations with Russia to secure Whelan's release.
"There are many less Americans who deserve freedoms," Richardson said. "In other words, there are many people who are not famous around the world, but they still deserve America's support."
US-Russia relations have hit an all-time low amid Moscow's war in Ukraine and US sanctions against the Kremlin.
Several US citizens have been detained in Russia, including Whelan, a former US Marine who has been cited as wrongfully detained. He was arrested in Russia in December 2018 and sentenced to 16 years in prison. Last year, the United States offered to hand over American basketball star Whelan and Griner to arms dealer Viktor Bode as a prisoner, but Russia agreed only to release Griner.

Auto Shows Are Hugely Popular
by Emil Docev
This year there are nine major international auto shows, where the latest and often ultra high-end cars are on display. Americans are probably most familiar with the North American International Auto Show (Detroit), Chicago Auto Show and New York International Auto Show, all of which took place earlier this year.
These shows are hugely popular; the January show in Detroit, for example, drew a record 800,000 people, who admired self-driving prototypes, premium electric vehicles and various other concept and production cars. The shows attract enthusiasts interested in luxury and performance automobiles as well as consumers who want to see the cars of the future and shop for the cars of the present.
Cars aimed at specific markets
Brussels, Geneva and Frankfurt/Paris (which alternates) represent European auto shows; Shanghai/Beijing (which alternates) and Tokyo represent Asian shows. The "baby" of the bunch just took place in Buenos Aires, where the Seventh International Automobile Show was held at La Rural Exposition and Convention Center from June 19 to 28.
The Argentine show presented passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Big carmaker Renault debuted its Duster Oroch, a medium-sized, double-cab pickup. Renault hopes the Oroch, which offers the space and comfort of a compact and SUV, will be attractive to buyers in the Latin American region. Mercedes-Benz plans to produce midsize van Vito–already available in the United States–in its plant near Buenos Aires; in addition to selling the vans in Argentina it will export them to other Latin American countries.
Boost for the Argentine economy
This is good news for Argentina, which produced 617,329 vehicles in 2014–a drop of 22 percent from the previous year. Auto makers in the country reported a 17 percent slide in vehicle exports, which was primarily attributed to little growth in Brazil, Argentina's main trading partner. Argentina tightened controls on imports and restricted the amount of dollars available to companies after it defaulted on its debt in July 2014. As a result, carmakers complained they did not have enough hard currency to meet production and sales targets.
Carmaker investment in the auto sector, therefore, is welcome and important. Mercedes-Benz pumped in $220 million into its Argentine plant between 2013 and 2015 to improve capacity and handle the Vito's launch. Joachim Maier, who oversees Mercedes-Benz van production in Argentina, was quoted as saying the company "will be investing further in this location and will be extending our portfolio of products for the Argentine clients."
