11 More Underrated Restaurants You Should Try Now
By Sasha Lim Uy | Apr 24, 2018
The restaurant game has changed. It's not so much about the type and quality of your cooking or the promise of a good ambiance anymore; it's about the crazy, picture-perfect presentation, the persistent presence on social media, the sheer coolness of being seen in that eatery. We're not saying those places aren't good, but they do know to prioritize salesmanship over anything else.
We'd like to champion the marketing underdogs—the restaurants that leave the talking to the food. Sure, they fly under the radar, but finding them is part of the fun.
10 Underrated Restaurants You Need to Pay More Attention To
NAV Thai
Chef Francis Lim and the Naval brothers serve a modern interpretation of Thai food in this Kapitolyo haunt. The good chef tweaks things here and there but manages to come up with dishes that are still recognizable and relatable. With his penchant for pronounced flavors, his pad thai becomes pad thai-er, his tom yum tastes tom yum-er, his laksa laksa-er. Trust us, it'll make more sense when you actually make your way to the restaurant. Nav Thai has enoigh of a cult following that they actually have a satellite branch at the SM Food Hall.
The Alley, 16 United Street, Kapitolyo, Pasig City
Duck & Buvette and Apéro
Like its predecessor Café Provençal, Duck & Buvette attracts a loyal following from their quiet corner in Shangri-La Plaza. The current owners took over from their parents and appropriately revised their strategies to fit the demands of today's diners. The style is still French not just in terms of cuisine but more in terms of style. Everything is cooked from scratch, slowly and carefully prepared, and beautifully presented. Duck is the specialty, but you need to try the roast beef.
If duck isn't your poultry of choice, the owners and chef have also come up with Apéro, which boasts the same slow-cooked, no-shortcuts approach, but with the focus on chicken.

If you've ever been curious about Canadian food, all your questions will be answered at Main Street. Here, Canadian food, according to Canada-trained chef Adam Tan, translates into comfort food and you'll find some of the most underappreciated fried chicken, eggs benedict, and baked mac and cheese. The specialty? Poutine, fries swimming in thick gravy. They come in different toppings. The flagship branch at BGC has closed, but fortunately, it found renewed interest in Pasig.

L'Entrecote
L'Entrecote is one of those restaurants that you'll continue to overlook until that fateful day when you notice it...then you'll never forget it again. Their menu of steaks is great thanks to their supply of quality beef, but they're made even better with the unlimited fries, thinner-than-usual potato batons that make the deliciously salty seasoning stand out more.
Burgos Circle, Bonifacio Global City
Ticks Dula Laurel first opened Mama Rosa (named after her mother) in Quezon City in 1999, but shut it down in 2006. Ten years later, with all the restaurants mushrooming in and around the metro, she reopened her restaurant with a refreshed menu (forget binagoongang baboy and just have some binagoongang bacon) but with the same level of comfort and warmth. The menu is short, but you'll end up over ordering because everything looks mouthwatering. A meal is just like a visit to lola's house, you'll leave loved and stuffed.

Those who think there's nothing that can't be improved in the pair of garlic rice and beef soup just haven't been to this side of Citi Golf.
City Golf Plaza, Julia Vargas Avenue, Ugong, Pasig City
Rural Kitchen of Liliw
Where do we even begin? The bonete? The crispy squid? The mechado? The fact that the chef is a 30-year-old prodigy who made something incredible from his lola's recipes? Rural Kitchen is actually the Manila iteration of Mio Kusina, the Sarabia family's restaurant in Los Baños. The food is Filipino (with emphasis on Laguna specialties) and the style home-cooked, with a little touch of polish. In 2015, it was included in The Daily Meal's list of Asia's 101 Best Restaurants, ranking at no. 64.
HRC Centre, 104 Rada Street, Legazpi Village, Makati City; 6060 R. Palma Street, Poblacion, Makati City
Those familiar with Chef William Mahi's work at The Tasting Room should venture to his BGC spot. Here, the French chef veers away from high-end meals to come up with his version of refined comfort food. In fact, he describes this shift as "fine dining to fun dining." The name is a reference to what Chef William believes is the perfect roasting temperature (roasted chicken is his specialty). You can get a set meal if you feel like celebrating, but the a la carte options are perfect for sharing, which was his original intention. Whichever you chose, make sure you get The Egg, potato mousse with creamy egg yolk.

Mantra Bistro
The two-year-old Indian restaurant on Bolanos Street isn't top of mind when it comes to a curry craving, but it should be. Highlighting North Indian fare, Mantra Bistro works their charcoal tandoor oven overtime and most of their dishes give off a characteristic smoky flavor. Also worth noting is how they have bigger portions compared to the standard Indian eatery.
Grand Midori, Bolanos Street, Legazpi Village, Makati City
The Pigpen and The Black Pig
Chef Carlos Garcia has always chosen to fly under the radar so it's no surprise that his restaurants are just as low-key. His dishes, however, are as vibrant as the chef is humble. He and co-chef Tricia MacDonald are geniuses when it comes with coming up with combinations that will surprise you (sisig papadum, anyone?). They first wowed us with the Muntinlupa favorite The Black Sheep and followed it up quickly with a more casual but nonetheless playful The Pigpen in Nuvali. The Pigpen concept was then introduced to Manila in 2017, kicking off a trend of chef-driven, light-hearted restaurants.

Having been disarmed by the charm of Kevin Pietersen in the press conference, Brisbane's Courier Mail tabloid has turned its attentions to the man it has labelled 'Stuart Fraud'.
In an leaked image of Thursday's Courier Mail, the newspaper has a picture of Broad on the front page with a large red circle and the words 'Broad Ban'.
The Courier Mail has also promised not to mention Broad's name in their reports, which may be a bit difficult when the England fast bowler tears through the Australian batting line-up.
The claim 'Stuart Fraud' is based on the fact that Broad's Test bowling average is better in England than it is abroad. 'Australia plan to turn the screws on Stuart Broad, as statistics show the quick has the worst record of England's current bowlers on foreign soil,' said the article.
Broad has taken 142 wickets in England at an average of 26.62, and 75 at 38.09 overseas. 'The Australians know there are two versions of Broad,' insisted the Courier Mail.

Q: Adding a unique remove button to every row in a dynamically generated table I am using a form nested inside a table row to generate a remove button for each row, the action of the form is a servlet call which will then call the remove method in a java class.
How do I add the "id" value to each button so it will send  the correct car object to the method to be removed from my database.
My JSP:

Current Cars Listed

<input type="button" value="Add Car" onclick="window.location='AddCar.jsp'">
<%
List<Car> resultList = new ArrayList<Car>();
resultList=(List<Car>)request.getAttribute("ResultList");

%>

Make:	Model:	Year:	Colour:	Information:

<% for(int i=0; i<resultList.size(); i++){%>

<%=resultList.get(i).getCarMake()%>	<%=resultList.get(i).getModel()%>	<%=resultList.get(i).getCarYear()%>
<%=resultList.get(i).getCarColour()%>	<%=resultList.get(i).getInformation()%>
<form  action="CarServlet" method="get" ><input type="submit" value="Remove" name="remove"></form>

<% }%>

A: You may add a hidden value inside the form to add the id:

    <form action="CarServlet" method="get">
        <input type="hidden" name="carId" value="<%= resultList.get(i).getId() %>" />
        <input type="submit" value="Remove" name="remove">
    </form>

Since you're already using request attribute, it would be better to stop using scriptlets at all and use Expression Language + JSTL.

<c:forEach items="${ResultList}" var="car">

        ${car.carMake}
        ${car.model}
        ${car.carYear}
        ${car.carColour}
        ${car.information}

            <form action="CarServlet" method="get">
                <input type="hidden" name="carId" value="${car.id}" />
                <input type="submit" value="Remove" name="remove">
            </form>

</c:forEach>

See how code above is better for readability and maintainability compared to your original code that uses scriptlets.

South Park Drive in Tilden Park closed for 5 months to protect newts
By Berkeleyside staff Nov. 8, 2018, 7 a.m. November 8, 2018
From Oct. 31 through March 31, South Park Drive will be closed to cars to protect Tilden Park's population of California newts as they migrate. File photo
Why did the newt cross the road? In the case of those that live in the East Bay hills, it's so they can breed. And because the park district cares about its wild inhabitants, every year it closes the road in question to avoid the prospect of salamander carnage.
From Oct. 31 through March 31, South Park Drive will be closed to all automotive traffic, and cyclists are asked to proceed slowly and keep an eye out for the little beady-eyed creatures, which usually run five to six inches long. Dogs, while still allowed off-leash, must be under voice control. Drivers can use the alternative routes of Grizzly Peak Boulevard, Wildcat Canyon Road and Central Park Drive during the five-month closure.
The Park District has closed South Park Drive for the seasonal migration for over 20 years, allowing the newts to seek out the higher air moisture levels they favor for breeding.
Although not an officially threatened species, the overall newt population has decreased over the past several decades primarily due to loss of habitat, according to the East Bay Regional Park District, which shared some insights into California newts in a Q&A with naturalist Trent Pearce, who works in the Tilden Nature Area.
How far do these newts travel?
Studies have shown some newts are able to return to their home stream from distances up to 2.5 miles, although shorter migrations are more common. Here in Tilden, many newts cross South Park Drive on their way to Wildcat Creek. Some also cross Wildcat Canyon Road on their way to the Regional Parks Botanic Garden, the Tilden Golf Course and other pools of water.
What changes do the newts go through in the breeding season?
Male newts change more dramatically than females. Once in the water, males swell and become bulkier, their tails become flattened for swimming, and they develop nuptial pads on their feet for gripping females. Females may develop a slightly flattened tail.
What do the newts look like when they hatch from their eggs?
When newly hatched, larval newts look similar to a frog tadpole but are striped and have external gills. As they grow, four legs slowly emerge. As summer progresses, they metamorphose into a terrestrial juvenile (a tiny version of the adult) — changing color, losing their gills, and leaving the water to find an upland retreat.
Where are the newts in the summer?
Some newts weather the dry months in rodent burrows, under rocks and logs, and anywhere moisture is trapped. Others may remain in their mating pools year-round if the pools stay filled with water.
How can the public help the newts?
When traveling on South Park Drive, watch the ground (especially when cycling). Drive slowly when passing the Regional Parks Botanic Garden on Wildcat Canyon Road, as many newts cross in this unprotected area. And never remove a newt from the wild — all animals in East Bay Regional Parks are protected under Ordinance 38.

Adanir's (2006) Semi-autonomous provincial forces in the Balkans and Anatolia
HomeSubjectsHistoryAdanir's (2006) Semi-autonomous provincial...
07/03/2022 in History 0
Alaa Dean Alzalam
The aim of this essay is to critically review Fikret Adanir's (2006) chapter on Ottoman history which focuses on the 'semi-autonomous provincial forces in the Balkans and Anatolia'.
The critical review will be structured accordingly: introduction, discussion and conclusion. Firstly, the Introduction highlights Adanir's overarching thesis, that the rise of provincial forces and the power shift from central to peripheral within the Balkans and Anatolia does not mark the decline of the Ottoman Empire. His two central arguments are (1) the Nasîhatnâme literature, letters of advice, had not been codified or interpreted correctly and (2) central Ottoman rule had effectively integrated the indigenous elites of the provincial forces: the Balkans and Anatolia. Thereafter, the review discusses both arguments, critically evaluating their validity and, where possible, synthesising them. Finally, a conclusion will be offered, drawing on the evidence for both arguments.
Two important arguments emerge from Adanir's work. Firstly, his chapter challenges the long-held view that the 'emergence of provincial forces as a challenge to central [Ottoman] authority' marked the decline of the Ottoman Empire (p.157). He argues that the notion of the 'decline paradigm' during the 1700-1800s is no longer acceptable in light of the Nasîhatnâme literature. Secondly, Adanir's work offers an alternative socio-political understanding of how provincial forces functioned under Ottoman rule, highlighting the Empire's early success 'in integrating the indigenous elites' (p.159). The first argument provides an alternative to the way in which historians measure and date imperial 'decline' whilst the second point offers lessons for contemporary times. The above mentioned arguments will now be discussed in further detail.
Argument 1: The decline of the Ottoman Empire
Adanir's argument is that historians have tended to draw 'on source materials from the central [Ottoman] state archives' which had been created 'to condemn predatory practices of rebellious administrators and bandits' during the time of provincial forces in the Balkans and Anatolia, suppressing the idea that regional, semi-autonomous enclaves existed under Ottoman rule (ibid:257). Therefore, what emerges from Adanir's argument is that any official Ottoman recognition of semi-autonomous provinces, deductively connotes imperial weakness, supporting the idea that it was a period of decline. Further expanding on the role that the state archives has had on interpreting the historicity of the Ottomans, he (ibid) claims that previous research reflects the classical Ottoman regime's patrimonial control of the narrative – a form of 'sultanism'- leaving little room for the idea that there existed a 'group of provincial mediators [local leaders with some degree of authority] between the ruler and the ruled' (p.157). Therefore, it seems that any attempt at identifying this time period of mediation, essentially between central power and the frontiers, as a symptom of the Empire's decline, undermines the value of the relationship between the ruler and the ruled, further legitimising the idea that it indicated its decline.
Adanir highlights that recent interpretations of the seventeenth and eighteenth century 'are careful not to use the word 'decline'' whilst examining this era of Ottoman history (ibid: 165). Furthermore, he believes that the 'decline paradigm' emerges from a post-Second World War climate 'supported by references to nasihatname' literature: advice letters for sultans (p.165). İnan (2018) states that the transformative events of the late sixteenth century were real indicators of the Empire's 'imminent fall', leaving 'members of the Ottoman elite […] to ponder the causes and […] to offer their formulas for recovery' (p.112). As the Empire continued until the early twentieth century, one finds it hard to completely agree with İnan's use of the term 'imminent'. What emerges from the nasihatname literature are notions of returning to a golden age, particularly the era of Sulayman the Magnificent (1520-1566); guidance on good administrative practice; and 'the reasons for the collapse of a country' (ibid: 114).
Adanir (2006) raises the point that until the 'genre conventions of the nasihatname literature were recognised' (p.165) no coherent argument could be formed. Although this review does not analyse the nasihatname literature, it empathises with Adanir's concern of misunderstanding the function that it was created for. Evidently, there is a degree of difficulty in retrospectively reviewing any literature written in a time of empires and non-democratic societies.
Further complicating the main focus of the first argument, Rogan (2015) points to the fact that 'since 1699, the Ottomans had lost most of the wars they had fought, and still the empire had survived' (p.385). However, Adanir positively likens the internal upheavals throughout the Balkans and Anatolia over the two-centuries to the rural rebellions of seventeenth-century France as they did not signal the end of France. Comparing Ottoman upheavals to the French rural rebellions seems to be an odd choice of comparison. The main objection is that the French rebellions were conducted by people who were ethnically French and considered themselves Frenchmen, whereas in the Ottoman context, rebellions were conducted by previously conquered people who may not have considered themselves as truly Otto-man or even Turks. Although Adanir attempts to provide a counter argument, the chronological events that followed in Ottoman history appear to portray an empire in decline, unlike that of France.
Argument 2: A socio-political understanding of provincial forces under Ottoman rule post Karlowitz Treaty
Adanir's (2006) work also offers a better socio-political understanding of how provincial forces functioned, early on, under Ottoman rule, highlighting that 'the establishment of Ottoman rule did not necessarily mean a complete ousting of pre-Ottoman leadership groups' (p.158); furthermore, Ágoston and Masters state that 'The Ottomans built one of the most […] splendid multi-ethnic and multi-religious empires' (2009:xxvi).
In the context of the semi-autonomous forces in the Balkans and Anatolia, Abou-el-Haj (1969) describes the signing of the Karlowitz Treaty, which ended the Austro-Ottoman War in 1699, created a 'mental shift' in the remaining semi-autonomous forces. Additionally, he (ibid) highlights how society moved 'away from the combative spirit of a frontier society to a more civilian culture with intensified interactions across social, ethnic and religious divides' (pp.131-7). Furthering Abou-el-Haj's point, Adanir (2006) states that the new deepened interactions led to the 'increased visibility of non-Muslim populations in urban life [which] was a distinct tendency of this period' (p.169). However, to what extent the Ottoman admiration helped in facilitating the visibility of non-Muslim populations in urban life is difficult to determine; rather in hindsight, it seems to have been an organic result of the Karlowitz Treaty. However, the Balkans started to experience a number of different uprisings, from internal 'rivalry among local [provincial] leaders' to external foreign meddling (ibid: pp. 181-185) which, in 1806, led to the Porte ready to 'recognise Serbia as an autonomous principality paying annual tribute' (ibid: 183). It is worth noting that his chapter does not speculate on how the empire declined or when it started, but merely wants to challenge the idea that it started in the late sixteenth century.
Adanir's counterargument against the idea that an increased sense of regional identity weakened ties between the local and imperial governments has some breadth as the eventual dissolution of the Ottoman Empire did not manifest until after World War I. Perhaps the regionalism was actually a sign of strength, and that the local governments had always enjoyed a certain amount of relative freedom. At a final glance, Adanir's central thesis, that the rise of provincial forces does not mark the decline of the Ottoman Empire, raises questions of how historians measure and date imperial decline; and to what extent does losing imperial territory constitute looming decline. In the Ottoman case, Adanir's thesis stands correct as the emergence of provincial forces within the Western-frontier was neither a symptom nor an indication of imperial decline.

The Pull List, 3.9.16 | KABOOOOOM!
Rather than try and choose one of the many excellent titles Tom Taylor has written this week, I'm going to once again declare my love for Titan Comics' The Twelfth Doctor series. The current storyline by Robbie Morrison – involving The Doctor investigating strange goings-on in a small fishing village while Clara looks into the disappearance of a colleague at an exclusive private school – has wonderfully captured the spirit of both the current and classic eras of the show. And the artwork by Rachael Stott has been uniformly amazing.
You should be reading Mighty Thor. It's amazing. Jason Aaron made Odinson a brutal, complex character in Thor: God of Thunder and he's doing the same for Jane Foster. There's so much depth to Jane as Thor–she vulnerable and fierce. Her take no crap attitude is aimed directly at Odin in the showdown that's been building since Odinson lost the hammer in Original Sin. I can't wait to see how Aaron develops this mega-brawl and how it impacts Jane for the continued development of the series.

SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of ...
Pomerantz LLPDecember 19, 2020 GMT
NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation ("SMIC" or the "Company") (OTCMKTS: SMICY). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether SMIC and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
[Click here for information about joining the class action]
On September 4, 2020, Reuters published an article entitled "EXCLUSIVE-Trump administration weighs blacklisting China's chipmaker SMIC" which reported that "[t]he Trump administration is considering whether to add China's top chipmaker SMIC to a trade blacklist," a measure "which would force U.S. suppliers to seek a difficult-to-obtain license before shipping to the company."
On this news, SMIC American Depositary Receipt ("ADR") fell $3.08 per ADR, or over 20%, to close at $12.02 per ADR on September 8, 2020, the next trading day.
Then, on September 26, 2020, Reuters published an article entitled "U.S. tightens exports to China's chipmaker SMIC, citing risk of military use" which reported that "[t]he United States has imposed restrictions on exports to China's biggest chip maker SMIC after concluding that there is an 'unacceptable risk' equipment supplied to it could b used for military purposes," meaning that "[s]uppliers of certain equipment to [SMIC] will now have to apply for individual export licenses."
On this news, SMIC's ADR price fell $0.57 per ADR, or 4.7%, to close at $11.47 per ADR on September 28, 2020.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Paris is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 80 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

McKesson Begins Work on $20M Distribution Facility
TOLLESON, AZ-With Trammell Crow Co. at its side, McKesson Corp. breaks ground on a 155,000-sf distribution warehouse on 16.2 acres near the northeast corner of Buckeye Road and 107th Avenue.
By Jennifer D. Duell | November 15, 2004 at 11:22 AM
TOLLESON, AZ-McKesson Corp. has broken ground on a $20-million distribution facility at the northeast corner of Buckeye Road and 107th Avenue, a 16.2-acre tract recently bought from CFT Development LLC.
McKesson has the ability to expand the 155,000-sf distribution facility to more than 200,000 sf. The land is less than a mile from the junction of Interstate 10 and Loop 101 and 10 miles west of downtown Phoenix.
The build-to-suit will feature state-of-the-art, automated equipment to service San Francisco-based McKesson's client base in the southwest United States. It was designed by Phoenix-based Deutsch & Associates; the general contractor is San Francisco-based Renaissance Construction. Trammell Crow Co.'s Robert Zingale, senior vice president of project management, and Terry DeLoach, senior project manager, are in charge of construction management services for the development.
TCC has advised McKesson since the project's onset. Jay Sholl, senior vice president of the capital markets group, and Brian Gleason, senior vice president of corporate advisory services, provided McKesson Corp. with development and brokerage services through the San Francisco office. Bo Mills and Mark Detmer, both vice presidents with TCC's Phoenix office, were in charge of site selection. CFT Land LLC was represented by Barry Gabel and Mindy Korth, also with TCC.

Q: Clear the terminal (but keep the last few lines) Suppose I've been in the terminal for a while, and it's length is very concerning (or equivalently a program that spits out a very long output).
Is there a way to keep the last 10 lines (for example), and clear the rest?
(Without scroll-back capability)

A:
tput cup Y X

Move cursor to screen location X,Y (top left is 0,0)
tput ed

clear to end of screen

So:
$ tput cup 10 0 && tput ed

Pantanelli recognized for Exceptional Moments in Teaching
Dr. Seth Pantanelli
Dr. Seth Pantanelli, a physician in the Department of Ophthalmology, is featured for June in the "Exceptional Moments in Teaching" program.
June 2, 2022Penn State College of Medicine News
"Dr. Pantanelli has a full patient load, and yet still makes an effort to have students involved with his clinic day," a current student wrote. "He would ask me questions to test my level of understanding and had a respectful way of redirecting my thought process if I was incorrect, which only helped reinforce my learning.
"There were a few occasions where a junior medical student joined us in clinic, so Dr. Pantanelli would first give me the opportunity to explain what I knew before stepping in, which again reinforced my learning. After each clinic day, Dr. Pantanelli would hold sessions where we would review the patients we saw during the day, which was beneficial. It is obvious that he is excited about the work he does, which also made my time in clinic enjoyable."
Pantanelli is an associate professor of ophthalmology in the Department of Medicine, chief of ophthalmology at the Lebanon VA Medical Center and medical director for the Gift of Life Eye Bank. He received his undergraduate and master's degrees in biomedical engineering and optics from the University of Rochester, N.Y., and his medical degree with distinction in research from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.
He completed an ophthalmology residency at the University of Rochester Medical Center's Flaum Eye Institute and a fellowship in cornea, external disease and refractive surgery at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami. He is a member of the Cornea Society and a fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Pantanelli has authored or co-authored more than 35 peer-reviewed articles, as well as multiple book chapters, and is an active teacher for the annual Harvard Cataract Course. He has been awarded Penn State College of Medicine's Dean's Award for Excellence in Teaching four times and is this year's recipient of the College's Clinical Science Career Mentoring Award.
Penn State College of Medicine's Office for a Respectful Learning Environment recognizes exceptional faculty, residents and fellows with the monthly "Exceptional Moments in Teaching" program. One faculty member and one resident/fellow are highlighted each month for their contributions. College of Medicine students are invited to submit narratives about faculty members, residents, nurses or any other educators who challenge them and provide an exceptional learning experience using the online nomination form.
The Office for a Respectful Learning Environment fosters an educational community at Penn State College of Medicine in which all learners and educators feel supported, challenged, valued and respected. It serves all learners at the College of Medicine: medical students, graduate students, physician assistant students, residents and fellows.

Katrin Ottarsdóttir (født 22. maj 1957) er en færøsk filminstruktør, manuskriptforfatter, skuespiller, novelleforfatter og digter.

Biografi

Katrin Ottarsdóttir blev født i 1957 i Tórshavn på Færøerne. Hun tog i 1976 til Danmark og blev i 1982 den første færing, uddannet på Den Danske Filmskole i København. Hun er barnebarn til forfatteren Heðin Brú.

I 1989 modtog Katrin førsteprisen for filmen Atlantic Rhapsody på den tyske filmfestival Nordische Filmtage i Lübeck. Igen i 1999 modtog Katrin Ottarsdóttir hovedprisen på Nordische Filmtage, denne gang med filmen Bye bye bluebird. Samme film modtog også en Tiger Award på den internationale filmfestival i Rotterdam i år 2000. Katrin Ottarsdóttirs datter Hildigunn Eyðfinsdóttir (født 1975) er hovedrolleindehaver i filmen.

Udover at instruere, skriver Katrin Ottarsdóttir også selv sine manuskripter. De fleste skuespillere i Katrin Ottarsdóttirs film er færøske, ligesom det færøske landskab ofte figurerer som en central kulisse i optagelserne.

I 2007 modtog Katrin Ottarsdóttir et treårigt arbejdsstipendium fra den Færøske kulturfond (Mentanargrunnur Landsins) og har siden da arbejdet på en trilogi af filmportrætter af tre færøske kunstnere. Den første film i trilogien Ingen kan lave det perfekte – om billedhuggeren Hans Pauli Olsen – havde premiere i januar 2008. Den anden – En linje om dagen må være nok! – om digteren og multikunstneren Tóroddur Poulsen – havde premiere i september 2008. Den tredje – om forfatteren Jóanes Nielsen havde premiere i 2009.
Alle tre film er såkaldte "one-(wo)man, one camera" produktioner – dvs. at Katrin er både instruktør, fotograf og klipper på filmene.

I 2011 debuterede Ottarsdóttir som digter, da nogle af hendes digte udkom i det færøske litterære tidsskift Vencil. I december 2012 udkom hendes første digtsamling med titlen Eru koparrør í himmiríki? (Er der kobberrør i Himmeriget?). I september 2013 modtog hun M.A. Jacobsen's Kulturpris i kategorien skønlitteratur, for digtsamlingen Eru koparrør í himmiríki? (Er der kobberrør i Himmeriget).

Den 11. september 2014 havde hendes film, Ludo, som er et selvbiografisk, psykologisk drama, premiere i Nordens Hus i Thorshavn. Filmen bygger på digtet med samme titel fra hendes første digtsamling Eru koparrør í himmiríki?. Optagelserne til filmen foregik på øen Sandoy i august 2013. Hovedpersonerne spilles af Lea Blaaberg, som spiller datteren, Hildigunn Eyðfinsdóttir, som spiller den psykisk syge mor og Hjálmar Dam, som spiller faderen.

I 2016 debuterede Ottarsdóttir som novelleforfatter, da hun udgav novellesamlingen Aftanáðrenn på forlaget Sprotin.

Zika Probably Not Spread Through Saliva: Study
Research with monkeys suggests virus isn't transmitted through kissing or sharing eating utensils

TUESDAY, Aug. 1, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have some interesting news about Zika: You're unlikely to get the virus from kissing or sharing utensils with someone.
A new study with monkeys suggests that Zika doesn't appear to be transmitted through saliva.
"If passing the virus by casual contact were easy, I think we would see a lot more of what we would call secondary transmission in a place like the United States," said lead researcher Tom Friedrich, from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Many Pneumonia Patients Get Too Many Antibiotics
Zika's Damage Continues in Children Infected Before Birth
Dangerous UTIs Can Follow Hospital Patients Home
It's Mosquito Season: Here's How to Protect Yourself
"But we're not seeing clinically apparent spread of Zika throughout the continental U.S. without the presence of the mosquitoes that carry the virus, and our study helps to put into context some of the transmission risk," he added in a university news release.
Mosquitoes are the main cause of Zika infection in people. After infection, the virus remains in blood and saliva for a few weeks. And it remains in bodily fluids like breast milk for weeks and semen for months, the researchers said.
Zika can be spread from person to person through sexual intercourse, but it's been unclear whether the saliva of an infected person poses a threat to others.
The researchers conducted experiments with monkeys and concluded that casual saliva contact such as kissing or sharing eating utensils is not enough for Zika to move from one host to another.
But it's important to note that studies done in animals often don't produce similar results in humans.
The make-up of saliva may be the main reason why Zika can't move from one person to another, the researchers said.
Dawn Dudley, a scientist in UW-Madison's School of Medicine and Public Health, noted that "saliva is viscous (thick and sticky] stuff. That hinders the ability of the virus to move and get to cells that they could infect."
Saliva just doesn't provide a good environment for the Zika virus, the researchers said.
Most people only suffer mild symptoms when infected with Zika, but the virus has been linked to catastrophic birth defects in babies whose mothers were infected during pregnancy. The most common of these defects is microcephaly, where the baby's brain is small and underdeveloped.
The study was published Aug. 1 in the journal Nature Communications.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more on Zika.

Avonmouth explosion: MP reacts to 'second serious incident' in as many weeks
'This is the second serious incident in Avonmouth in as many weeks'
Estel Farell RoigSenior reporter
The MP for the Avonmouth area has issued a statement in response to the news of the 'serious explosion' in the area.
Emergency services were called to the area at 11.22am and are currently at the scene. You can follow our liveblog here.
The fire service currently has six crews at the scene of this ongoing incident.
Avon Fire & Rescue Service - who is leading on this incident - has said there have been multiple people injured in the explosion and that they were still looking for people.
A helicopter has also been seen landing at the scene.
Darren Jones, the MP for Bristol North West, has said: "Thank you to our police, ambulance and fire services for responding so quickly to this serious explosion in Avonmouth this morning.
"This is the second serious incident in Avonmouth in as many weeks.
"Once our emergency services have resolved this incident and helped any injured workers, I'll be calling on the Environment Agency, the Health and Safety Regulator and others to ensure lessons are being learnt for the future."

In October, 20,000 tonnes of scrap metal were involved in a fire at the Avonmouth Docks near the M5 motorway.
In a statement earlier, Avon Fire & Rescue Service said: "We have been called to a large explosion at 11.22am in a warehouse in Avonmouth.
"Crews from Avonmouth, Southmead, Yate, Patchway, Kingswood and Temple are currently attending.
"We are joined by Avon and Somerset Police and Ambulance on site."
The ambulance service has also issued a statement about what has happened.
It said: "South Western Ambulance Service is responding to a serious incident at premises on King's Weston Lane, Avonmouth, Bristol.
"We have attended with multiple resources alongside fire service and police personnel."
Bristol Waste has closed the Avonmouth Recycling Centre and Reuse Shop temporarily following 'an incident nearby' – it is unclear if this is linked.

The Farewell is based on Lulu Wang's own true story about her family conspiring to hide her grandmother's terminal cancer diagnosis from her. Producer Alana Kode sat down with Wang at the Sundance Film Festival last year to talk about how she developed real events in her own life into a film, selecting her cinematographer, and how she cast Awkwafina in the lead role. Awkwafina recently won a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her role in The Farewell- the first Asian American to win in this category.

Paula Huidoboro first became drawn to telling a story with images as a young teen while taking photography classes at the local museum of modern art. One of her early learning experiences was as a camera intern for well-known cinematographer "Chivo" Emmanuel Lubezki. Paula was thrilled to work with actor/creator Bill Hader on finding the balance between violence and comedy on the HBO hitman/dark comedy "Barry."
Walt Lloyd happened upon John Boorman's crew shooting Deliverance in Georgia and decided he wanted a job in the movie business. His first big break was as a camera assistant on the 1983 film Never Cry Wolf, directed by Carroll Ballard. One of Walt's earliest films as director of photography was on sex, lies and videotape for first-time feature filmmaker Steven Soderbergh. Host Ben Rock and Walt Lloyd also have a personal connection- Walt was the DP for Ben's feature film, Alien Raiders.

Phedon Papamichael, ASC talks Ford v. Ferrari, his love of racing and classic cars, working with director James Mangold
Phedon Papamichael and director James Mangold created an exciting, visceral experience of auto racing for Ford v. Ferrari, rather than the basic panning wide shots used in sports broadcasting or car commercials. Phedon had to shoot extremely close to the speeding cars in order to capture the effect of high velocity.
Lawrence Sher, ASC, talks about creating the look of Joker with director Todd Phillips
When setting out to make Joker, Lawrence Sher and director Todd Phillips decided to go for an intimate, 70's style of movie that's character-driven, rather than the large scale, elaborate looks typical of today's comic book superhero/villain films. Joaquin Phoenix had some leeway to improvise and play with the character. Larry and Todd Phillips' background of working with comedians on movies such as The Hangover made them feel comfortable with improvisation.

Two key P-Card topics resurface in Dr. Palmer interview.
What can we do about these issues to avoid a plateau and increase the value of P-Card programs? Below are more observations plus suggestions from Dr. Palmer.
Organizations reflexively move toward a "belt and suspenders" concept of control that is both unnecessary and inefficient. Program managers need to be thought leaders who work with, and enlist the support of, other thoughtful associates in the finance function to construct the right blend of controls for card-based procurement. In an era of constrained resources, one should be able to make a compelling case for the technology-enabled controlled growth of P-Card spending.
See related blog post on how to reassure management about your P-Card controls.
Ensure your P-Card program offers the greatest value at the lowest cost. Follow best practices, including those pertaining to controls and working with your suppliers.
It is very important, particularly in the "business-to-business" segment of the market, that card issuers and card-using organizations quantify and educate suppliers on the beneficial aspects of acceptance. Absent a clear demonstration of value and education, suppliers will focus on the costs of card acceptance and remain unaware of, or ignore, the benefits. Articulating and measuring the benefits will insure an open and honest discussion.
See related blog post by AOC Solutions, including a quote from Recharged Education, about raising the bar on supplier enrollment in regard to electronic accounts payable (EAP).

Every Last Second
Posted on March 2, 2009 by wowarhata
Copyright March 1, 2009
Do everything like it's your last one! My friend Dave is a Master on ice with this technique. Couple years or so back, he jumped on a plane from a life rolling in success making movies in Hollywood, to slide on Florida ice. Underneath the plane to Florida, were the traveling trucks loaded with all his artifact investments to fill the new mansion in that would serve his delight until, caught off guard, the 'winter of discontent' rolled in like a fog from nowhere.
His motivation for the move was to buy a 1/3 interest in the Ice Capades, without consulting the 'illuminati of the spiritual world'. Slipping on a banana peel is not Dave's desire or, slipping on the ice even though he once, in his youth, was a world class hockey player. But slip and crash he did before the great crash of 2009 (he always finds himself ahead of humanity's trends) and, trying not to look back.
'Wonder Dave' is not an imagination even though he trumps even the Trumpster who has the TV series, 'Celebrity Apprentice! Dave lives 200 miles an hour, yet is aware he goes nowhere so why look back, er, and take it seriously! Dave never lets his breath fog up the glass and yet, his trying to balance the material world with the spiritual world is one that presents him with falls and lessons, as with his partner in the Ice Capades who took his money and skated off leaving Dave to wonder why he went from Paradise in California to the sunny beaches of Florida looking for ice that skated away!
My friend Dave may be an 'enigma' but, it's his life in 'wonderment' and as much as he looks back, he always reminds me, he's not attached and then, he lights a cigar with his glass of bourbon to help him forget….or so it would seem … he says he never looks back, he just wants that guy from the Ice Capades, who's now back in town, to cough up what he skated off with. See Dave, as one of the sons of a NY godfather, is also the 'godfather of the spiritual illuminati'.
This was all his idea to begin to schpiel his adventures in hopes of spreading thoughts of enlightenment, particularly in this 'winter of economic discontent' with the suggestion to 'look ahead a bit and, cut the deck or, you may be the next to fall on the ice without knowing how to not look back AND, be unattached! Find the rhythm to float above the foray of challenges and, 'have a cigar', just don't inhale.

Movie of the Day : THE MAN FROM LARAMIE (1955) -The Last Mann and Stewart Film
"Hate's unbecoming in a man like you… in some men it shows." Charlie to Lockhart
THE MAN FROM LARAMIE- Marks the end of a five year partnership between Anthony Mann and star Jimmy Stewart, and it ends like it began, with a near biblical tale of frontier vengeance, only this time in rich technicolor as opposed to striking noirish black and white.
Stewart giving a deeply felt performance, more nuanced and conflicted than the vengeance of the younger Stewart of their first collaboration, WINCHESTER 73.
In this film Stewart's performance of vengeance is that of an older man, not the hot certain vengeance of youth, but touched with fear and doubt, and makes it a different, and evocative and attractive performance. The film only slightly marred by a cartoony performance, by an actor seemingly miscast as the hothead son.
But that aside a fitting ending to their collaboration, and by any measure an essential western.
You can view it for free on streaming. And when suitably availed of its greatness, you can click the images to purchase your copy today. Masters of Cinema in 2016 released a Blu-ray 60 years in the making (almost sold out), improving on the 2014 Twilight Time release (which showed the film finally in its full widescreen glory) by adding a bevy of special features including an insightful audio commentary. I despair of a world where people are silly enough not to own these films in physical media 🙂 . If you are not one of these silly people, get yours by clicking the image below.

The Last Hurrah: Seminal Physical Media Box Sets – Indicator's MARLENE DIETRICH 6 film Boxset!
Marlene Dietrich & Josef von Sternberg at Paramount, 1930-1935 (Limited Edition) [Blu-ray] [2019]
I've had this boxset for a year or so, but am just now finishing all the films and all the special features. I really had no interest in Marlene Dietrich or Joseph Von Sternberg, or this boxset.
Just as an art object, I thought it was one of the most beautiful looking boxsets I had seen, but I had a hard time spending money on 6 romance films, that I likely wasn't going to like, based just on the boxart.
So I did not buy it when it first came out, or for the first few sales over the following year. What got me to finally decide to purchase was I picked up a movie from Joseph Von Sternberg, not starring Dietrich, called THE LAST COMMAND.
And I was BLOWN AWAY.
This was from frame one, a master Director, his composition of shots, use of camera movements, beauty of the frame. I felt watching that film, the way I felt discovering Welles' CITIZEN KANE or David Lean's GREAT EXPECTATIONS or The Hugh's Brothers MENACE 2 SOCIETY, it made me LOVE cinema.
Each time. Each film.
They made me a lover of cinema, and a devotee of that director.
So following up on THE LAST COMMAND, Indicator's MARLENE DIETRICH & JOSEPH VON STERNBERG Boxset became a must buy.
Now having lived with this Boxset for over a year, seen the films and the special features, and I can confidently say it is one of my favorite purchases of the last couple of years. And the films, are not what I thought. They are about romance yes, but they are about more… they are about drama, and war and intrigue and loss and hope and sacrifice.
Small Melodramas, of the pangs of love, told against the backdrop of events great and small. But more the film is a showcase of a passionate union between a star a director and a costume designer, and together they created glamour, in the original definition of the word, a sorcery– a construct of beauty, for an age that needed it.
Together they moved the needle, they defined iconic.
This Boxset from Indicator, likewise moves the needle now, and is iconic and a must own.
Click the images for more info, or to pick up a boxset of your own. Criterion has a region A boxset of its own, the content with the exception of some of the special features is largely the same. The difference is the quality of the box part of the boxset.
The Criterion release sports boring, uninspired stock photo with not especially interesting typography for the box art, and a really cheap, thin cardboard box, Whereas Indicator commissions lavish, stunning painted artwork for their boxset, and the quality of the box is a durable, thick solid, not easily dented or warped box.
One is a work of art made to endure and be worthy container for the films within, one is not.
But if you just want to watch the films, and are not concerned with quality of the box part or the boxet, or want the features that are not on the Indicator set, than by all means pick up the Criterion set as well.
However if you can only get one, Indicator is the one to get.
For another, and more comprehensive view on the boxset check out SOLITARY RONIN"S simply essential coverage at the link below. If you are not subscribed to SOLITARY RONIN you are missing out on what I genuinely consider, one of the most informed and most informing channels on film you can find not just on Youtube, but anywhere. He and a handful of other channels are a film-school in a box. So definitely do yourselves a favor, subscribe to him and check him out.
Hope you found this post of interest, and if you did please like, subscribe and email/comment.
Till next time… be well.
"But I think it's safe to say the six films they (Director Joseph Von Sternberg, Star Malene Dietrich and Paramount's Lead Costume Designer Travis Banton) made together during this five year period produced some of the most remarkable images, most stunning costumes and iconic moments of cinema history."–Nathalie Morris in the Sarah Appleton helmed and Samm Dunn and John Morrissey produced 2019 Indicator Special Feature, STYLING THE STARS (can be found on the Indicator DEVIL IS A WOMAN Blu-ray, part of the Marlene Boxset)

Currently Watching : Eureka MASTERS OF CINEMA Blu-Ray OLD DARK HOUSE (1932) by James Whale
Guys if you buy only a few Blu-rays in 2020, Eureka's slip-covered release of OLD DARK HOUSE should be one of them. The new art that adorns the slip cover is frame worthy, and the release itself is well mastered and over flowing with features. Sporting three interesting featurettes as well as three film commentaries, and a booklet; the release is a worthy addition to any film fan's collection.
Now it's not all laudable, as I find the earliest commentary, between Kim Newman and Stephen Jones, for an earlier DVD release, to be while informative, oddly dismissive of certain things. Most notable Karloff's performance, which I, and obviously by his billing, the studio recognized was the crux of the film. It is the menace of Karloff's character of Morgan, that drives much of the film. Karloff is either wordlessly commanding the camera, or if off screen — is the concern the other characters are discussing.
So for the Newman and Jones commentary to dismiss Karloff's performance, just strikes me as they have missed some crucial points regarding the film.
The second commentary is a welcome one by star Gloria Stewart (most famous these days by being in James Cameron's TITANIC). She offers welcome insights, but just be aware that this is less an overview on the film, and much more just Gloria Stewart discussing her life as an actress, particularly as the film goes on. So if looking for a commentary that is discussing the film, this is not that. But it is great to hear her recount her insights and anecdotes. So not a great commentary per se, but it is a great and welcome interview, talk, from one of the few remaining people who was there, and knew these people. In that way it is an invaluable recording.
I have not yet listened to the third commentary, but plan to do so soon. So for all the reasons above, for the wealth of content included, I count it as a must own for any fan of classic cinema.

Manuel Sanroma Valencia (né le  à Almagro et mort le  à Sant Pere de Ribes) était un coureur cycliste professionnel espagnol.

Biographie
Il commença sa carrière en juin 1998 dans la formation Estepona. Cette année-là il remporta trois étapes du Tour du Venezuela.

En 1999 il rejoint l'équipe Fuenlabrada. Âgé seulement de 21 ans, il parvint à battre Mario Cipollini, alors le plus grand sprinter du monde, lors d'une arrivée au sprint du Tour de la Communauté valencienne. Il remporta également des succès sur le Tour des Asturies et le Tour de l'Alentejo.

Dès lors considéré comme un grand espoir du sprint mondial, il se présente en vainqueur potentiel dans les premières étapes du Tour de Catalogne. Mais lors de la deuxième étape, il chute à 1,3 km de l'arrivée, heurtant violemment le sol du bas du visage. Victime d'une hémorragie, il trouve la mort pendant son transfert à l'hôpital.
En cette année 1999, la seule autre victoire de l'équipe Fuenlabrada fut celle de Saúl Morales au Tour du Venezuela. Saúl Morales trouva lui aussi la mort un an plus tard, en 2000, renversé par un camion peu après une étape du Tour d'Argentine.

Depuis 2006, le Mémorial Manuel Sanroma est organisé dans sa ville natale en son honneur.

So Adelaide isn't the craziest city in the world, but as in all urban conurbations there is still that general busy vibe produced by lots of people around you are going about their daily nine to five. It never becomes too overpowering in Adelaide however, and this is partly thanks to the close proximity of the Adelaide Hills whose serene and tranquil atmosphere creates the perfect balance for the more hectic city life. Just a twenty minute drive from the city centre in your campervan hire, the Hills are an easily accessible destination with a myriad of touring opportunities for a campervan holiday. Lush forest, cosy towns and magnificent views are just part and parcel of what you can expect here.
The Adelaide Hills were initially settled by the Germans, and their influence still runs thick through the towns here. Especially famous is Hahndorf, Australia's oldest surviving German settlement having been established in 1839. Many of the buildings first built here are still standing, and the elm and plane trees that line the streets are a century old, which helps create an air of historical significance. Shops selling wursts, cakes and other decadent German confectionery line the streets and add to the Bavarian character of the town, as do the numerous German tourists visiting this slice of their homeland.
A town with a more English feel to it is Macclesfield, which lies deep in the Hills about an hours drive from Adelaide, and is surrounded by pleasant farmlands, vineyards and natural bush. It is built around a village square that historically was the hub of a major transport route during the gold rush days in the 19th century. Today it is less busy, but there is an excellent English style pub here where you can sit down and have a hearty meal and a pint. Every Sunday the square comes alive with the sounds of farmers from the surrounding regions setting up stalls and selling off their fresh produce to the public.
The Adelaide Hills are as much about natural beauty as they are about the beautiful towns, and the best place to fully appreciate this is at Mount Lofty. The summit here is the highest peak near Adelaide, and there are stunning views not only of the hills and valleys nearby but also of the Adelaide Plains, Kangaroo Island and Yorke Peninsula. The summit is situated in the Cleland National Park, which is also home to Waterfall Gully on its western side. This large waterfall is a popular spot for tourists, who are able to park their cars in the large carpark and then make the short walk to the falls. There is a pleasant restaurant and a kiosk here.
There are a couple of wildlife parks in the Hills that your kids will just love. Cleland Wildlife Park is close to Mt Lofty, and visitors are able to walk through large enclosures and interact with Australian animals such as kangaroos, koalas and echidnas. Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary is bigger and is just 20 minutes out of Adelaide. Home to over 100 species of bird and animals, this is the perfect opportunity to experience the Australian bush and wildlife in a protected habitat.
There is a strong sense of culture in the Adelaide Hills, whether it be in the German settlements or in the art galleries and museums that are scattered throughout the towns and countryside. The National Motor Museum in Birdwood is an intriguing place to visit, housing more than 300 vintage, veteran and classic motor bikes and bicycles- the largest collection in Australia. Arts buffs will enjoy visiting the Cedars, the old home and studio of famed artist Sir Hans Heysen. Still owned by his family, here you can see his painting materials, tools, sketches, notes and much more.
To round off your motorhome holiday in the Adelaide Hills why not go for a tour of the numerous cellar doors in the region and sample some of the local produce? The hillsides and valleys here are lined with vineyards, and the crisp wines they produce are notorious the world over. Good food and good wine always seem to go hand in hand, and the restaurants and cafes here match the quality of the wine with the culinary dishes they produce. So go ahead and indulge in the complete dining experience! The best thing about the Adelaide Hills is that if you only have a single day free you can get there easily and still have a lot of fun touring round. But if youve got a couple of weeks free, even better... you're going to want to stay as long as possible!

Q: Hadoop 2.7.5 Yarn HA conflict and Bug I have set up a Hadoop HA cluster including standby node for both namenode and resourcemanager such that in node A and node B both namenode and resourcemanager process will start and one node role as a standby node.
When I shutdown active node (A or B), the other will be the active node (tested). In case of I just start a node (A or B) the namenode process is ok, but the resourcemanager process is not responsive! I checked the logs and it was the following:
2018-01-27 17:01:43,371 INFO org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client: Retrying connect to server: namenode/192.168.1.210:8020. Already tried 68 time(s); retry policy is RetryPolicy[MultipleLinearRandomRetry[500x2000ms], TryOnceThenFail]

The node A/192.168.1.210 is that not-started node. Its stock on a loop connecting to node A, while the namenode process is active on node B.
I set the following property to decrease the (500*2000) (refrenced here):
        <property>
        <name>yarn.resourcemanager.fs.state-store.retry-policy-spec</name>
        <value>1000,10</value>
        <!-- <value>2000,10</value> also checked -->
        </property>

But is has no effect on resource manager behavior!
Is this a bug or I'm wrong!?

A: Since Hadoop 2.8 the property yarn.node-labels.fs-store.retry-policy-spec is added to control that situation. Adding the following property solved the problem:
    <property>
    <name>yarn.node-labels.fs-store.retry-policy-spec</name>
    <value>1000, 10</value>
    </property>

Now it try 10 time, sleeping 1000ms and after that it switch to another namenode
