Do you know how to Texas Maintain 'Em? Doesn't the lifestyle of a professional gambler seem a little as well fabulous to be genuine? Fortunately, Tv audiences see mainly the ups of becoming a pro gambler and few of the downs. Sometimes, fortunes are not just produced - but also are horribly, irretrievably lost. And all on the flip of a single, little card. To these of us who reside relatively "normal" lives, putting a thirty-5 thousand dollar bet on the Tremendous Bowl appears totally crazy. To famous professional gamblers Doyle Brunson and Daniel Negreanu, however, it's just another working day at the workplace. Matter of fact, Doyle Brunson (arguably the most famous professional gambler on the circuit and the grandfather of Texas Maintain 'Em by itself) forgot for a small while that friend and poker adversary Negreanu owed him that a lot money.Gambling can provide many hours of enjoyable for some individuals and playing on line casino video games is no exception.

What is alloy wheel and tyre insurance, is it worth it?
When you buy your new car you might be offered alloy wheel and tyre insurance for your new car – perhaps as part of the deal or as an extra that you'll have to pay for.
Most modern cars, especially more expensive ones, tend to have thin 'low-profile' tyres that make it very easy to scuff your alloy wheels on kerbs, especially when parking. Although this damage is only usually cosmetic, it does tend to make your shiny new car look somewhat more second-hand.
The cost of refurbishing an alloy wheel is usually far less than the excess on a normal car insurance policy, so there's often no point claiming on it. Alloy wheel insurance, however, is designed specifically to help you keep your alloy wheels looking like new – often the excess for alloy wheel insurance is either free, or about £10.
Alloy wheel insurance often has a maximum payout – you'll find this is usually about £150 per wheel. It'll normally only cover the original wheels fitted to your car, and it's worth checking your policy documents to see how many times per year you can claim, because if you've kerbed more than one wheel then each will usually be treated as an individual case.
Is alloy insurance worth it?
If your car is on a lease or PCP finance deal then you may be charged for alloy wheel damage at the end of the term, so alloy insurance is a way of mitigating this risk. However, if you kerb one wheel in your term then it's unlikely to be worth paying for alloy wheel insurance, whereas if you tend to scuff wheels like it's going out of fashion then it could be worth it.
Tyre insurance covers you against punctures – not something that used to be worth insuring, but given how expensive modern tyres can be (especially on SUVs with wide tyres) it may be worth considering.
Tyre insurance usually covers accidental damage such as punctures, or more nefarious damage from people letting your tyres down or slashing them. Your tyre insurance premium will depend on the amount your tyres are worth – you can usually insure yourself for £125, £300 or £450 per tyre.
You'll be limited to a certain number or cost of claims per year, as with alloy wheel insurance.
Is tyre insurance worth it?
If you have a big SUV such as an Audi Q7 then it may well be worth insuring your tyres. Not only will help you get back on the road after a puncture, but it'll let you put good, grippy, premium tyres on your car – always a better choice than going for an unknown budget brand. After all, your tyres are the only thing keeping your car on the road, so it's worth protecting that investment.
If you have a smaller car where the replacement tyre cost is lower then chances are it's less worth paying for tyre insurance – but you may still want the peace of mind.
If you're interested in these products, ask your dealer for a quote – you can also buy it separately from any number of third parties.
Read our guides to other extras dealers may offer you, including scratch and dent insurance, paint protection and interior upholstery protection.


Saint Columba, the apostle of the Picts of Scotland, was born of a noble family in the county of Tyrconnel in Ireland, in 521. He studied Holy Scripture under the saintly bishop Finian, and when ordained a priest in 546 he opened a school where he formed several disciples. He founded several monasteries in Ireland. He is sometimes called Columkille, which is Old Irish for Founder of cells. Though austere, he was not morose; and, although he often longed to die, he was untiring in good works throughout his life.
His zeal in preaching against public vices offended King Dermot, and the Saint decided to leave his domains, departing for Scotland with a dozen of his disciples. He arrived there in 565, according to Saint Bede. There he founded a hundred religious houses and converted the Picts of the north, who in gratitude gave him the island of Iona, a short distance from the mainland. On that island Saint Columba founded his celebrated large monastery of Hy (or Y Colm-Kille), a school for apostolic missionaries and martyrs, and for centuries the last resting place of a multitude of Saints and of the kings of Scotland. Later its monks adopted the Rule of Saint Benedict.
The gentleness and charity of Saint Columba, which were unfailing, won the hearts of all with whom he conversed. His virtues, to which God added the gifts of prophecy and miracles, attracted for him universal veneration. The kings did nothing without consulting him; King Edhan in 570 wished to receive the royal ornaments from his hand.
Four years before his death, our Saint had a vision of Angels, who told him that the day of his death had been deferred four years, in answer to the prayers of his spiritual children. Thereupon the Saint wept bitterly, for he desired above all things to reach his true home. He was seventy-six years old, and surrounded in choir by his disciples, when finally the day of his peaceful death came. It was the 9th of June, 597, when he said to his disciple Diermit, This day is called the Sabbath, that is, the day of rest, and such will it truly be to me; for it will put an end to my labors. Then, kneeling before the altar, he received the Viaticum, and sweetly slept in the Lord. His relics were later carried to Down and laid in the same shrine with those of Saint Patrick and Saint Bridget.
Reflection. How different is the attitude of most men from that of Saint Columba; they dread death above all else, instead of wishing to be dissolved, and to be with Christ"! The more perfect we become, the more we desire to behold that for which Saint Columba sighed.

Helen Verhoeven 1974
Lives in Berlin. Works in Berlin.
Galerie Stigter Van Doesburg
Helen Verhoeven made her best-known work in commission, it's called Hoge Raad (Supreme Court, 2015). Verhoeven made it for the new home of the Supreme Court in The Hague. Verhoeven had to hire a larger studio and a cherry picker and worked on it for no less than 2.5 years. Hoge Raad measures four by six and a half metres. It was not only because of its size that it was not an easy task. Expectations were high, because Verhoeven was asked to produce nothing short of a new Rembrandt. It became a group portrait in which the upper part tells the history of justice and injustice in the Netherlands and the lower part shows the diversity of the Dutch people, with the councillors of the Supreme Court in between as mediators. A typical feature of Verhoeven's work is that she thoroughly explores her subject in advance. For earlier work, Verhoeven drew on very diverse sources, such as clinical studies, hagiographies, historical archives and art history. She knew virtually nothing about the Dutch legal system, partly because at the age of twelve she moved to the US, where her father, Paul Verhoeven, began directing films. That's why she was updated by the president of the Supreme Court and the attorney general. The fact that the Supreme Court gave the assignment for a group portrait to Verhoeven, is not very surprising. Although she hadn't made large group portraits before, Verhoeven's work is figurative. Her canvases are often populated by exuberantly dressed people. She also made self-portraits, portrayed the great masters of art history, and mothers with their children. Verhoeven's work is colourful and looks like a patchwork of patterns, structures and fabrics. It seems as if Verhoeven cuts and pastes with paint, as if she makes collages where planes, spaces and people come together.

Helen Verhoeven (Leiden, 1974) lives and works in Berlin. Verhoeven studied at the San Francisco Art Institute (1992-1996), the New York Academy of Art (1998-2001) and at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam (2005-2006). Verhoeven's work is included in the collections of the Bonnefantenmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, and the Saatchi Gallery. In 2008 Verhoeven won the Royal Award for Modern Painting, followed by the Wolvecamp Prize in 2010, and the 2018 ABN Amro Art Prize. At the beginning of 2018, Verhoeven had a retrospective exhibition at the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht. That year her installation Church I, featuring various techniques such as stained glass, mosaics, painting and sculpture, was on display at Art Basel. In 2019, Verhoeven exhibited at the Hermitage Amsterdam.

Ntc bans Facebook Twitter in their office
By NepaliTelecom	 Last updated Apr 27, 2017
It felt quite awkward to know that the country's largest Telecom operator has banned Facebook Twitter. But it is not for their subscribers. The Facebook Twitter ban is for their own staffs. They have blocked these social medias from operating in their internal network, within the office working hours.
Citing the inefficiency of employees in their work, Ntc blocks those popular social medias in the Ntc offices. There are complains that front line staffs have not served the customers well in Ntc counters, but they hanged on to the social medias. Management believes that the Facebook, Twitter ban in the office network, will help to increase productivity of their employees in the office working hours. They think that this ban will give more time to focus on their work, rather on other happenings in social medias.
Ntc took the decision to barr social networking sites for their staffs during office hours. It is known that the social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter will be open before and after the office hours.
It was last year that Government had also done the same in Singhadurbar offices. There are no any reports to tell the increased performance of the staffs there. Nor the complains from people have abated.
This ban prohibits the employees from using Facebook, twitter from the office network directly. But they can always use it through their own mobiles using cellular network. There are also several other ways like proxy, VPN to open the banned websites. Apart from Social medias, employees are known to use online news portal for politics, during office hours, so it is questionable if they can block those websites to make more time available for office works.
The debate!!!
Employees argue that blocking each and every site will not lead to solution. HR professionals claim, Having strict monitoring for performance rather than banning, could lead to reward and punishment system. Which will ultimately result in high motivation for work.
There are huge research going on for the effect of Social networking website in staffs efficiency which gives exact opposite results time and again. Even social media experts and HR experts fail to come to a conclusion for letting social networking sites in office or not.
We also wonder how they gonna update their social medias from the office. May be using Proxy!!!!

'The View' Cast All Fired, Except For Whoopi

Categories: The View, Whoopi Goldberg & Jenny McCarthy
President Obama appears on an episode of "The View" with a full cast on July 28th, 2010.By: Official White House Photo by
Barbara Walters retired in May of 2014 from 'The View', and television hosting in general. Now, 2 of the 3 remaining hosts of 'The View' have been reportedly fired from the lineup, leaving only host Whoopi Goldberg with a job.
Sherri Shepherd had been a host on the program for 7 years. She had this to say of her time on the show via twitter:
"The number 7 is God's number of completion & after 7 seasons my time at The View is now complete!So grateful2 every1 4their love & support," she said, followed by: "Incredibly grateful to my second mom @BarbaraJWalters for pushing me beyond my comfort zone – it's been amazing doing it scared! #joy."
Jenny McCarthy was also fired, and after only one season. Many thought she would be a questionable fit for the dynamic of the show (at best), and unfortunately ABC ended up agreeing. I have always liked Jenny McCarthy, even though she believes in things that are pretty "out there".. still, she's a good personality and would make a good host somewhere. But not on 'The View'. It just never fit. Closing statements from McCarthy:
"If Sherri goes… I go too. #sisters."
"My View will be changing too. As will with many hard working folks. Thanks to everyone at the show for your dedication and an amazing year."
Apparently, she took a stand for Sherri. I wonder what that was all about?
Regardless of the reasons though, Whoopi is the only remaining host. And you can't have a show called 'The View' with a sole voice. I mean, I guess you could, but not in the same spirit and fashion the show is known for. Yes, 'The View' is past its glory days ever since Rosie O'Donnell and Jay Behar left. But ABC is not giving up on the program and its name. They are just planning on .. restructuring.
Their plan is to possibly bring on a man. Or two, as hosts alongside Whoopi. TMZ has Ross Mathews (Ross the Intern from "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno") and former NFL quarterback Jesse Palmer as possibilities. ABC wants to "creatively" give new life to 'The View'. Seeing as how they also probably let go of executive producer Bill Geddie as well (who had been with the program since 1997), I'd say that are serious about cleaning house and starting over.

Q: Extremal graph theory problems I'm currently working on some assignments, but I'm not getting anywhere. Maybe you can give me some ideas.
1) Show for a graph $G:=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and minimum graph degree
$$ \delta = \left\lfloor \frac{(r-2)n}{r-1} \right\rfloor + 1 $$
contains a subgraph $K_r$.
I don't have any clue.
2) Show for a graph $G:=(V,E)$ with $n = |V(G)|\ge 5$ without triangles and who is not bipartite the following holds:
$$ |E(G)| \le \left\lfloor \frac{(n-1)^2}{4} \right\rfloor + 1 $$
Here I think that a vertex $v$ with degree $d(v)=1$ should exist. Then $G':=G-v$ is a graph with $|V(G')| = n-1$ vertices and without triangles. According to Turan the graph $G'$ has maximal
$$ |E(G')| \le  \left\lfloor \frac{|V(G')|^2}{4} \right\rfloor $$ edges.
And therefore $G$, due to the additional edge, has maximal the amount of edges as stated in the claim.
However, I cannot cleanly prove why such a vertex $v$ have to exist.
3) $G=(V,E)$ is a graph with $n = |V(G)| \ge 2$ without a hamiltonian path. Show that:
$$ |E(G)| \le \binom{n}{2} - (n-1) $$
Determine the extremal graph and show the uniqueness.
I have no ideas here either. :( I would be grateful for any help!
Thank you very much

A: 3)) Suppose to the contrary that $G$ has at least ${n\choose 2}−(n−1)+1$ edges. If $n=2$ then $G$ has an edge and so a Hamiltonian path. So let's assume $n\ge 3$. We can try to show that $G$ has a Hamiltonian path directly, but a teaching way is to apply Ore's theorem. If $G$ is complete then it is Hamiltonian. Otherwise we add to it an arbitrary edge $e$ and obtain a graph $G'$ with at least ${n\choose 2}−n+3$ edges. Let $v$ and $w$ be any pair of distinct non-adjacent vertices of $G'$. Since in a complete graph on $n$ vertices each vertex has a degree $n-1$ and $G'$ lacks at most $n-3$ edges to a complete graph, $\deg v + \deg w\ge n-1+n-1-(n-3)-1=n$ (the last $-1$ is taken into account for an edge $vw$ is a complete graph). By Ore's theorem $G'$ has a Hamiltonian cycle, so $G$, which is a $G'$ with a removed edge, has a Hamiltonian path.
Now suppose that $G$ is an extremal graph, that is a graph with ${n\choose 2}−(n-1)$ edges and without a Hamiltonian path. An instance of such graph is a complete graph with all edges incident to a fixed vertex removed. We claim that there are no other extremal graphs. Indeed, suppose to the contrary that $G$ is such a graph. If $G$ has at least three vertices of degree one then $n\ge 4$ and $G$ has at most ${n-3\choose 2}+3$ edges and, which follows   ${n-3\choose 2}+3\ge {n\choose 2}−(n-1)$, and $n\le 2$, a contradiction.
Thus we can add an edge to $G$ such that the graph $G'$ has no vertices of degree one. An analysis of the Hamiltonicity proof of $G'$  shows that it can fail only if there exist two non-adjacent vertices $v$ and $w$ of $G'$ such that each edge which $G'$ lacks to a complete graph is incident either to $v$ or to $w$ and, moreover, $\deg v=\deg w=2$, $n>4$, and $v$ and $w$ have the same sets of neighbors. Thus $G'$ lacks $2(n-3)-1$ edges to a complete graph. Thus $2(n-3)-1\le n-2$, which follows $n\le 5$, so $n=5$ and $G'$ is isomorphic to a graph $K_5$ without a triangle. But then it is easy to check that the graph $G$, which is a graph $G'$ with one edge removed has a Hamiltonian path, a contradiction.

How the 1968 Democratic National Convention Protests Helped Define a Decade
OG History is a Teen Vogue series where we unearth history not told through a white, cisheteropatriarchal lens.
By Adryan Corcione
Protesters face off with armed National Guardsmen during the Democratic National Convention, Chicago, Illinois, August 28, 1968. The convention was held at the International Amphitheatre between August 26 and 29 and saw the official announcement of Hubert Humphrey as the Democratic Presidential nominee and Edmund Muske as the Vice Presidential nominee.

1968 was a major year in history.
Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, which caused people all over the country, especially black communities, to demonstrate. Anti-war rage was omnipresent as President Lyndon B. Johnson announced in March 1968 that he was "taking the first step to de-escalate the conflict" in Vietnam, shortly following the increase of the maximum number — to about 550,000 — of United States military troops on foreign soil with the intent to defeat the impoverished country of less than 40 million people. This further fueled the national anti-war movement, especially following the deadly My Lai Massacre that killed 504 unarmed Vietnamese civilians on March 28.
1968 was also a presidential election year. Robert F. Kennedy launched a presidential campaign that spring, only to be assassinated on June 5. Up for election were Republican former vice president Richard Nixon and Democratic incumbent vice president Hubert Humphrey. Humphrey wasn't chosen as the nominee until the Democratic National Convention, which occured in Chicago from August 26 to 29. (At national conventions organized by the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee, delegates who were previously elected from each state cast their votes for the party's presidential nominee, who they are typically "pledged" to before they even get to the convention.) Humphrey's opponent for the Democratic nomination was Senator Eugene McCarthy, who ran on an anti-war platform.
With the energies of the civil rights and anti-war movements combined, leftist activists, organizers, and everyday dissenters were eager to not only disengage with the Democratic Party, but actively protest against their complicity in U.S. imperialism. They chose to express this dissent in front of the nation's most powerful Democratic leaders, outside the DNC.
Teen Vogue spoke with writer Bill Roberts, who lived in Chicago during 1968 and was present during several demonstrations outside of the DNC where thousands rallied together.
While he admits he was more of an observer, Roberts — an officer in the public aide workers union at the time — explained that he "never made it that far because of the police and the soldiers...they wouldn't let us go, they had the streets blocked off." But that didn't stop him from helping tear-gassed protesters flee the scene and drive away in his Volkswagen bus parked nearby, he says.
While people began congregating as early as August 22, a week prior to the convention, the height of violence occurred the second-to-last day of convention activities. Up to 10,000 protestors were involved in direct actions, including a march, according to author John Schultz in No One Was Killed. Schultz noted that the march wasn't approved with a permit.
It was met with resistance outside of a hotel from local law enforcement and the military. According to NPR, Mayor Richard J. Daley already ordered 12,000 police officers, 6,000 National Guard members, and 6,000 Army troops to be deployed during the week of the DNC. And these officers violently attacked demonstrators with their batons and tear gas, intending to intimidate the people from moving forward in their protests. Major news outlets, such as CBS and NBC, had reporters on the ground documenting the conflict, some of whom were assaulted, such as CBS correspondents Mike Wallace and Dan Rather, who were roughed up by security guards.
The protests made national headlines, but many corporate media outlets wrote off the demonstrations as a riot. "Some of the newspapers called it a police riot, but I didn't see it that way," Roberts says.
"To term the street and park events a 'police riot' is to shirk what happened and the implications of it," wrote media scholar Todd Gitlin — who had "been hit on the head once, gass several times, chased by cops, threatened" at the protests — in the forward of No One Was Killed. "The Chicago police were acting under orders, and they said it outright again and again."
Out of nearly 600 arrests, eight demonstrators known as the Chicago Seven — Youth International Party (Yippies) cofounders Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin; Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) cofounder Tom Hayden; Black Panther chairman Bobby Seale; David Dellinger and Rennie Davis of the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (MOBE); John Froines; and Lee Weine — were federally charged with conspiracy, inciting a riot, and other protest-related charges. As a result, five were convicted of crossing a state line to incite a riot (but none with conspiracy) the following year. An appeals court overturned the convictions in 1972.
While Roberts had participated in SDS while in college and owes his personal radicalization to civil rights and anti-war movement, it wasn't until 1968 that he began questioning how the U.S. interacts with the rest of the world.
"[The convention] raised a whole lot of questions about what kind of social order was I living in, and what needed to be done to improve it," Roberts says. "That event certainly changed my consciousness, and it set me on a course of questioning the system."
Decades following the historic resistance seen outside the 1968 DNC, we see and hear about similar protests outside of major conventions, such as the 2004 Republican National Convention in Manhattan and the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, though crowds were much smaller. While specific future protests are unforeseeable, it's not outlandish to consider that there will be rampant resistance at both of 2020's national conventions.
Fifty years later, we can't forget what happened in Chicago. Yesterday's movements can teach us who is still in power today — the police and military, who work in collaboration with local governments — and how they can be used as a state tool against today's movements.

Another example that people love to experience the unknown and pay for the experience is the Sosban and The Old Butchers Restaurant which was opened in February 2012 in the Isle of Angelsey. The place is one of a kind and has a totally different approach to their clients' dining experience, working schedule, and the menu…. actually – the last one even does not exist – which makes the place so unique and so successful!
The concept of the restaurant is offering their clients not just a meal, but a whole dining experience! They don't have a menu to choose from, so you don't know what to expect. The only thing they ask upon the booking is your food preference and whether you have any allergies.
On the day of your visit, they will create a series of dishes using the best locally sourced products providing you a unique culinary journey not found anywhere else!
The restaurant operates only 3 days a week for dinner on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 7-11 pm. The restaurant has 5 star reviews on Tripadvisor, and is known to be very busy – so if you are planning on paying them a visit, make your booking well in advance to avoid a missed opportunity!


Hospital to Home (H2H) is a nationwide programme that supports patients' safe and timely transit back home, so that they can stay well and age gracefully in the community. It is targeted at patients with complex health and social needs, and a high risk of readmissions.
During the patient's hospital stay, a multi-disciplinary care team comprising doctors, nurses, therapists and medical social workers assesses the patient's post-discharge needs and puts together a personalised care plan. Depending on each individual's needs, the plan would cover medical and social support services such as home and day care, psychosocial support, medication reconciliation, financial assistance, interim caregiving, and meals-on-wheels.
Once the patient is discharged from hospital, the H2H care team conducts home visits for those with higher care needs and calls them regularly to ensure they are recovering well. We also work closely with community health service providers such as NTUC Health, Thye Hua Kwan Moral Charities, and the Tsao Foundation to ensure that patients receive the support services that they require to get well and keep well.
At SingHealth, Hospital to Home is complemented by the Neighbours for Active Living programme run by Changi General Hospital (CGH) and the South East Community Development Council.
The Community Care team at CGH trains volunteers to care for vulnerable elderly living near them, equipping them with skills such as how to build enduring relationships with the elderly, how to identify red flags and assess if the elderly need medical attention. They also accompany volunteers on their initial home visits, and regularly review the clients' cases.

Professor Ann Louise McIlroy, Professor of Gynaecology at the Royal Free Hospital for Women in London, was a central figure in the Stopes v. Sutherland libel trial. She described the cervical cap as "the most harmful method of which I have had experience," [1] and she testified for the defendant in the High Court trial.
Some years after the trial, Dr Marie Stopes visited McIlroy at the Royal Free, albeit in disguise and using a false name. When Stopes asked for contraceptives, McIlroy allegedly fitted a device that was identical to that which she had condemned so roundly in the High Court.
The story of Stopes' surprise visit has since acquired mythic qualities: it revealed McIlroy's hypocrisy and gave Stopes the moral victory in place of the legal triumph she had sought, but which the courts had denied. The story regularly features in the biographies and hagiographies of Stopes, and why not? It's a good story, but…
That is the question I will address in this article. My starting point is to look at the accounts given by three biographers: Ruth Hall (1977), June Rose (1992) and Clare Debenham (2018).
"A few years later, Marie claimed a moral revenge. Hearing that Professor McIlroy was now fitting woman with pessaries, she disguised herself as a very dirty charwoman and went along to the clinic: 'After I was arranged on the examination couch underneath a coverlet, Professor McIlroy approached me wearing a rubber glove and told me to move my legs apart, pushing my legs in the desired direction through the coverlet. Before actually fitting the cap she did not even glance at organs or, even by a momentary view, examine the labia or vaginal orifice for discharge. She made no examination for venereal or other germs…A nurse supplied Dr McIlroy with a graded series of vaginal rubber caps, thrust the cap in, and almost immediately withdrew it, saying 'Yes, that is your size!' While the cap was being inserted, I felt extreme discomfort amounting to pain sufficiently acute to make it a great strain not to cry out or wince…"
Marie wrote the the Royal Free Hospital, demanding an apology and a retraction from Professor McIlroy for her earlier statements about the pessary. The secretary of the hospital wrote back: "Dear Madam, I am directed to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 10th inst, which has been considered by the Weekly Board. They are much surprised that you should have abused the privileges of the Hospital by obtaining advice under such circumstances. They are not concerned with the dispute to which you refer and as you make no complaint regarding your treatment, my Board see no object in continuing the correspondence."
Ruth Hall Passionate Crusader (1977) page 232, and sourced from an "autobiographical fragment" dated 13 December 1927 in the British Library Stopes Collection.
June Rose used the same autobiographical fragment when she wrote her account:
…to Marie, Professor McIlroy's attacks rankled. When she heard, four years later, that at the Royal Free Hospital Dr McIlroy herself was inserting the very vaginal caps she professed to find so harmful, Marie determined to find out. She first disguised herself as a 'work-grimed charwoman', then went along to the out-patients' clinic. 'When Professor McIlroy examined the grimy Marie Stopes, she did not even glance at the sex organs or, even by a momentary view, examine the labia or vaginal orifice for discharge. She made no examination for venereal or other germs…' Marie left the clinic with a cap and later wrote to the Royal Free Hospital demanding an apology and a retraction from Dr McIlroy. The Secretary relied stiffly that that Hospital had considered her letter and believed her to have abused the privileged of the Hospital by obtaining advice under false pretences. She received no apology."
June Rose Marie Stopes and the Sexual Revolution (1992) pages 170-171 and sourced from an "autobiographical fragment" dated 13 December 1927 in the British Library Stopes Collection.
Clare Debenham wrote:
"Under cross-examination by Patrick Hastings the Professor admitted that she had never witnessed any woman using a rubber check diaphragm. After the end of the trial Marie took her revenge on Professor McIlroy who she heard was fitting this contraceptive device at the Royal Free Hospital. In her book Ten Thousand Patients Marie describes how theatrically she disguised herself as a work-grimed charwoman and after a wait of three hours was conveniently fitted with the rubber check pessary by the same Professor McIlroy."
Marie Stopes' Sexual Revolution and the Birth Control Movement (2018) by Clare Debenham, page 111.
The gist of the story is that Stopes was kept waiting for ages, that the encounter between the Professor and the disguised Stopes was transactional with little in the way of conversation, that McIlroy did not examine Stopes for disease prior to fitting the device, that she handled Stopes roughly and that she used the same device she had criticised Stopes for using.
Another version of the story.
Let's now compare these accounts with the encounter described in Peter Neushul's article, The Popularization of Birth Control Technology.
Disguising herself as a charwoman, Stopes made it through the reception room by insisting "in a hoarse cockney voice that I had been told to see Professor McIlroy herself." She used the name Marian Parker, age fifty-seven, of 17 Hill Road, Penge, S.E., and was told to see Professor McIlroy.
After a five to ten minute wait, Stopes met with McIlroy and informed her that "I had had a 'Sessarean' section and I was not very strong. My first baby had died; I had been pregnant two other times and could not have any more. My husband was a van driver and after the 'Sessarean' section it took me nearly six months to get about again, and I could not have any more babies."
Throughout the meeting with McIlroy, Stopes spoke in a "slightly husky cockney voice and dropping aspirates." Stopes recalled that "her face was close to mine, within three or four inches, but there was not the slightest wavering of recognition or doubt to who she was looking at appeared to cross her face."
When McIlroy tried to get Stopes to convince her husband to use a condom, Stopes replied, "Well, I got one of my kids that way one broke-and besides my husband does not like them." McIlroy then examined Stopes by "merely putting her finger in the vagina and estimating the size." Shortly thereafter McIlroy called for a box of diaphragms ("Fetch the sizes"), selected one, thrust it in, concluded that it was her size, and gave her an identical dry one. McIlroy said, "You see, what you do is to scrunch it up in your hand, and then slip it in as far as it will go using the center finger. Leave it in all night and you ought to douche before taking it out next morning."
In an obvious effort to get McIlroy to prescribe a cervical cap, Stopes retorted, "[T]hat is awfully big, aint it. The Nurse showed me something, but hers was less than half this size."
Professor McIlroy pinched the cap together in her hand, reducing it to about the size of a cervical cap and said, "I suppose you mean one like that." Stopes responded, "That's more like it; this looks so big." McIlroy replied, "Oh that kind, you cannot use that because it is very troublesome; you see it has to be fitted very time by a Nurse or Doctor, whereas this one you can fit yourself." Stopes concluded, "I said: 'Oh, all right, where do I pay'."
After her visit Stopes wrote a speech condemning McIlroy for going back on her word, In her notes, Stopes conceded that "she may reply that the cap she fitted is not exactly identical to ours" She also noted that "to emphasise the difference is but splitting hairs in the face of the photograph showing the extreme degree of similarity." [Stopes had a photo taken of a cervical cap and diaphragm side by side].
In fact, there was a big difference between the diaphragm and the cervical cap, one that Stopes sought to gloss over when she blasted McIlroy for prescribing the very "rubber cap" that she had testified about at the trial. Stopes written account, published in the CBC newsletter, also criticised McIlroy for not taking "anything like the same care and precautions in the insertion of the cap that are the routine at our Birth Control Clinic; that she made no effort whatever to detect infection or venereal disease in the critical regions."
[Note: Emphasis added]
The Popularization of Birth Control Technology (1998) by Peter Neushul, Technology and Culture (pages 265-6) based on Stopes' account in Box 52, B.19 in Stopes' papers in the Wellcome Library.
Lest you think that I have picked a version that shows Stopes in the least favourable light, I would point out that Neushul's version is based on Stopes' own account in the Wellcome Library [2], so the question is: which of Stopes' different versions is correct?
…five to ten minute wait…
There is an obvious discrepancy in the time Stopes was kept waiting. Was it ten minutes or three hours? If three hours was correct, it meant that Stopes falsified it as a five to ten-minute wait in the different version. Why did she do this? To me, that doesn't make sense, and I think it is more likely that the five to ten-minute wait was the accurate account and that the waiting time grew to three hours for the hatchet piece in Birth Control News.[3]
…to use a condom…
Neushul's account reveals part of the conversation between doctor and patient and information sought and received. This was glossed over in the other accounts. And for all of the hypocrisy implied by Hall, Rose and Debenham, McIlroy's behaviour was consistent with her testimony in the libel trial. For instance, take this exchange during her cross-examination by Mr Patrick Hastings K.C.:
Hastings: "Supposing a woman were to come to you and suppose she says: 'Now I have had three or four children; it is really too much for me, coming too quickly, getting a child every year.' Would you advise her to use contraceptives?"
McIlroy: "I would advise her not to have sexual intercourse."
Hastings: "In other words, Dr. McIlroy, are not we now getting to the crux of the question; you would advise her not to have relations with her husband?"
McIlroy: "Yes."
Hastings: "Would you take into consideration that might be the ruin of two lives?"
McIlroy: "If I thought so, I would advise contraceptive methods."
The Trial of Marie Stopes (1967) Muriel Box, editor. Femina Books. Page 218.
McIlroy agreed with Hastings' suggestion that she was "in principle opposed to the use of contraceptives wherever possible." She said she was "not opposed to contraceptive methods in medical cases" and added: "I recommend them." The first method she recommended was the condom. In response to Hastings' questions as to how to treat hypothetical patients, McIlroy said on four occasions that she would advise contraceptive methods. During Stopes' visit, she recommended contraceptives.
The cap and the diaphragm.
At this point, it is important to understand the similarities and differences between a cervical cap and a diaphragm. Both devices are "barrier" contraceptives which can be supplemented by using secondary methods (such as a spermicide). In this context, both were hemispherical domes made of rubber.
The cervical cap was the primary method of contraception used at the Mothers' Clinic. Stopes' Pro-Race brand cervical cap. The diagram at right is from page 27 of the sixth edition of Stopes' book Wise Parenthood [4] and it shows the rubber cap (c) occluding the entrance to the womb (s). Stopes explained how it was held in place: "It adheres by suction assisted by the spring of the firm rim against the circular muscles and remains firmly in place, whatever movement the woman may make." In Sex and Destiny, Germaine Greer described how it "was pushed snugly over the cervix so that all the air was pushed out and it adhered by suction".
In contrast, the diaphragm is held in place by pushing outwards against the walls of the vagina. In Sex and Destiny, Greer described the fit as "crude, being merely the largest circumference which can be got to stay taut inside the vagina after it had been inserted by pressing it between finger and thumb and making sure that it is pushed up well behind the pubic bone."
…you cannot use that because it is very troublesome…
Neushul's account makes it clear that McIlroy was going to fit Stopes' with a diaphragm and suggests that Stopes made an "obvious attempt" to get her to fit a cap. When McIlroy realised that Stopes was referring to the cap, she replied:
"Oh that kind, you cannot use that because it is very troublesome; you see it has to be fitted every time by a Nurse or Doctor, whereas this one you can fit yourself."
Remember that for McIlroy, this was just another day at the office. She wasn't aware that Stopes was trying to entrap her, or even that she was talking to Stopes. Yet her unguarded answer that "is is very troublesome" was consistent with her testimony during the trial that she had "never met a woman yet who was able to fit on the pessary" and her objections to the cervical cap in the meeting of the Medico-Legal Society on 7th June 1921:
"The most harmful method of which I have had experience is the use of the pessary. It does not remain in place. It can pass back natural discharges."
Professor Louise McIlroy speaking at the Medico-Legal Society 7th July 1921.
…the photograph showing the extreme degree of similarity…
Below is a photoengraving of the photograph that Stopes took of the cap and the diaphragm side by side. Can you identify which is which?
The answer is that "A" and "C" are cervical caps and "B" is the diaphragm. [5] They certainly look similar, but so what? A still photograph of one part of the fit does not show the dynamic by which the device stays in place.
…made no effort whatever to detect infection or venereal disease…
How would Stopes know? She was, after all, a doctor of philosophy, not medicine. In my experience, a medical doctor of McIlroy's calibre and experience would have observed her patient and would have used all of her senses to form a view. Yes, it's a speculation, and if correct, there would have been few, if any, external signs that an examination had taken place.
How is it that this false myth has taken hold when an examination of the facts provided by Stopes reveals that it is patently false? In defence of the three biographers, the papers relating to Stopes are voluminous and held is difference locations, so possibly they might have not been aware of the source that Neushul used.
On the other hand, the words they use to describe the devices are confusing: Hall used "pessaries", "vaginal rubber caps", "cap" and "cap". Rose used: "the very vaginal caps she professed to find so harmful" and "cap". Debenham used: "rubber check diaphragm", "this contraceptive device" and "rubber check pessary". One would have thought that a biographer of Stopes would have known the difference and would have written with greater clarity.
In his 1998 paper, Peter Neushul concluded:
Unfortunately, Stopes's calculated effort to smear McIlroy is perpetuated by her biographers, including the most recent, who repeats the propaganda that McIlroy was "inserting the very vaginal caps she professed to find so harmful."
The "most recent" biographer at the time of Neushul's paper was June Rose. The most recent at the time of writing this article is Clare Debenham, whose Marie Stopes' Sexual Revolution and the Birth Control Movement was published in March last year and the false myth continues.
All of the forgoing text is the smaller part of the significant point to this article: Professor Louise McIlroy D.B.E., LL.D., M.D., F.R.C.P., F.R.C.O.G. was a truly great woman, whose contribution to The Royal Free Hospital for Women and to British medicine was enormous. She deserves better than to have her memory besmirched by the lies of an unscrupulous enemy.
I have written this article in the hope that the falsity of the "Stopes visits McIlroy" myth will come to the attention of a wider audience and, who knows, perhaps the next biography of Dr Marie Stopes will report the correct version.
I won't be holding my breath!
[1] Stopes herself asserted that McIlroy had no experience of the cervical cap. During the trial this exchange tool place:
Hastings: "Have you ever had a case of a woman who has worn one of these pessaries?"
McIlroy: "I have never met a woman yet who was able to fit on the pessary."
Hastings: "I wonder if you could answer my question: have you ever met a case yet of any woman who has worn one?"
McIlroy: "No."
[2] While the accounts are attributed to their various authors, their source information comes from Stopes herself. Hall and Rose base theirs on
an "autobiographical fragment" dated 13 December 1927 in the Stopes Collection at the British Library, while Neushul bases his on
Stopes' account in Box 52, B.19 in Stopes' papers in the Wellcome Library. Debenham does not cite her source. I make this point to make it clear that I am not "shopping" for the account that suits my purposes: the discrepancies arise from Stopes own accounts and what each author selected for inclusion.
[3] See "Professor McIlroy and the Cap Method," by Marie C. Stopes. Birth Control News 8 (February 1930) pages 145-48.

[5] The author of this article has seen Stopes' own photograph in the Wellcome Library in London and this photoengraving is an accurate representation of the devices. Stopes wrote on one photograph: "A & C Pro-Race type of rubber cap advised b Dr. Stopes. B actual cap fitted by Professor McIlroy in Dr Stopes at the Royal Free Hospital."

Well… that must've been fun to watch. Luckily for me, I went out for dinner with my girlfriend and her daughter and did not have to witness that embarrassment live. "Honey, you better wash the sheets, 'cause these here Flames done sh*t the bed tonight".
Things began promising. With yet another new-look 1st line (Conroy-Jokinen-Iginla), Jarome Iginla tipped a shot by Jay Bouwmeester to beat Roberto Luongo just over seven minutes in. It was only Iginla's 3rd goal of December and Bouwmeester's 2nd assist in his last 12 games. After that, it was ALL downhill. Less than two minutes later, the Flames were down 2-1, and the Canucks never looked back. Mikka Kiprusoff got the mercy pulling after allowing 4 goals in the 1st period. Olli Jokinen played just 12:09 and spent a significant amount of time stapled to Brent Sutter's bench, yet was still on the ice for 8 scoring chances against. While Coach Sutter continues to try and find a LW to play with Jokinen & Iginla, its become painfully obvious that the rotating LW is not the problem… the big Finnish center is. And not just because he looks like he arrived here on Earth via UFO. Nope, Jokinen has been a disastrous flop in Calgary. I wanted to see the big guy here for three years prior to them actually acquiring him. My mistake. Perhaps splitting him and Iggy up is no longer a question. Let's hope.
I wonder how Dion Phaneuf feels about the way the Flames are playing. Hmmm….
The Flames visit the lowly Edmonton Oilers Monday night 12/28/09 @ 7:00 on Sportsnet. The Oil are coming off their very own loss to the Canucks, and with the way the Flames have been playing, have more than a puncher's chance to take the Flames out. I will be attending the game, so YOU better smarten up Flames! You hear me?
Flames prospect Greg Nemisz was the only Canadian held off the score sheet in Canada's 16-0 thumping of Latvia at the World Jr's Saturday. Canada will play Switzerland Monday @ 1:30 (MT) live on TSN.

The Pirate Bay hit by DDoS attack
File-sharing website The Pirate Bay (TPB) has been hit by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.
The site has been largely inaccessible for the last 24 hours, and the service is intermittent in the UK.
The Pirate Bay has confirmed the attack on its Facebook page, saying that it did not know who was behind it, although it "had its suspicions".
A provider of DDoS defense systems said that it was unlikely that the attack came from hacking group Anonymous.
"There will be further attacks, but what's significant about this whole story is that people think that it is the Anonymous attacking a site which is typically a type of site that they defend," said Andre Stewart of Corero Network Security.
"It could be the record labels, or a government somewhere that has had enough of not being able to catch The Pirate Bay, it could be just one person who had rented some cloud power from Amazon and is sitting in a cafe, and is able to launch an attack."
Although some users may have attempted to access the site using proxies, TPB itself warned them against doing so.
Illegal file sharing
"Use proxies at own risk. Don't login unless you trust the proxy supplier. Don't freak out. You'll get your TPB fix tomorrow," said the site.
TPB allows users to illegally obtain copyrighted songs, films and other content for free.
Copyright holders argue this causes a significant loss in revenue.
However, others say that it is very difficult to assess the impact of downloading on sales.
"If they're losing money and seeing that the government is not being able to stop it, there's a real monetary value reason for them to try and bring it down," said Mr Stewart.
"And if they can do it in the name of Anonymous then it's great for them.
"Equally the governments that protect these industries are frustrated as well because they haven't been able to see it close down, unlike a number of other torrent sites."
Open and free
Virgin Media began preventing access to the file-sharing site following a High Court order last week.
Some time later the Virgin Media website suffered a hack attack that many thought was organized to protest against efforts to block access to TPB.
Twitter feeds associated with the Anonymous collective wrote: "Virgin Media – Tango Down #OpTPB".
But TPB criticized Anonymous for the attack, writing on its Facebook page that it did not "encourage these actions".
"We believe in the open and free internets, where anyone can express their views," wrote TPB.
"Even if we strongly disagree with them and even if they hate us. So don't fight them using their ugly methods. DDoS and blocks are both forms of censorship."

Petrok Maly, also known as Petrok Maly Fryazin (, lit. Peter Junior) (? - ), was an Italian architect, who arrived in Moscow together with the envoys of Pope Clement VII in 1528.

He was likely born Pietro Annibale in Italy, and worked as an architect by the Vatican. He would have lost his secure employment with the Sack of Rome in 1527. There was a demand for builders in Muscovy, and he traveled there with the Pope's support.

His work in Russia includes the 1532 construction of the Ascension Church in Kolomenskoye (the true architect's identity is still contested), one of the earliest Russian churches showing tented roof design. In 1533, Petrok Maly was commissioned to build the so-called Kitai-gorod wall, the construction of which would be finished in 1538. The 2.6-km wall originally featured 12 towers and four gates.

In 1539 turmoil at the royal court after the death of Elena Glinskaya led Maly to flee to Livonia, where he told his story to the Bishop of Dorpat (Tartu).

How do you know if the questions and answers in a member survey are the right ones? You might not. Survey participants will select an answer because that is what they are expected to do or because the survey makes them, but the answer they select may not be the right answer. The answer they select might be the closest answer to the real answer, but not the correct answer.
I like qualitative research methods because they allow members the opportunity to steer the conversation to the topics that are most important to them. If a question is wrong or boring they have every opportunity to feed you the correct question or answer a more important question. With qualitative methods respondents have the freedom to articulate their most correct answer; they are not forced to pick from a list of answers pre-selected for them.
Early in an interview project, I may ask a question and members will correct me. I hear what you are asking they say, but this question, which is similar, is more interesting/important/urgent. Additionally, there is room in each interview for members to talk about what is most important to them whether they want to talk about the association, or the profession, or the industry, or their career.
Qualitative research helps us do a deep dive on what matters most to our members.
When is it time to turn to qualitative research?

"California Streaming" Event Recap! iPhone 13, new iPads, Apple Watch, MagSafe accessories
This September Apple conference was primarily a confirmation of leaks that had been circulating on the web for some time. As anticipated, 4 models of the iPhone 13 and Apple Watch Series 7 were introduced. Also, the Cupertino-based tech giant announced the new "budget" iPad (9th generation), the improved iPad mini, and the colorful range of MagSafe accessories - including MagSafe wallets and cases. Below you will find a summary of selected devices presented at the Apple conference and information about preorder of the latest Oakywood product, which we have designed for the new iPhone 13.
iPhone 13 - 4 models
Most of the predictions about the iPhone 13 came true. During the California Streaming conference, two regular and two Pro models were announced:
The iPhone 13 visually and in terms of size resembles its ancestor. The most noticeable difference is a smaller notch, different colors, and the design of the rear camera (lenses in the basic iPhone 13 models were set diagonally). In the flagship Pro models, larger lenses are surrounded by a steel rim.
Further improvements include an improved, brighter (up to 1,200 nits) display (ProMotion on Pro models with up to a 120 Hz refresh rate), "the fastest chip ever used in a smartphone" - A15 Bionic on Pro models, and significantly improved cameras. The base models of the iPhone 13 will be available in 5 colors: (PRODUCT)RED, starlight, midnight, blue, and pink. Pro models will be available in 4 color versions: graphite, gold, silver, and sierra blue. All iPhone 13 models will be available for pre-order from September 17, and from September 24 for regular sale.
For many Apple enthusiasts, the biggest surprise of the California Streaming conference was the presentation of the 9th generation iPad. Compared to the previous generation devices, the new iPad has been enriched with True Tone technology (automatic screen color adjustment), a more efficient Apple A13 Bionic system, and a better front camera - now with an ultra-wide-angle lens. The cheapest (64 GB) version of the iPad starts from $329 ($299 for the education sector)
Another novelty from Apple is the iPad mini (6th generation). The new device has a bigger 8.3-inch display and a power button that supports TouchID for unlocking. In addition, the iPad mini got an upgraded, 12-megapixel camera and an A15 Bionic chip (the same as in the iPhone 13). The lightning port has been replaced with a USB-C port and the optional LTE modem - with a 5G.
MagSafe accessories - Oakywood iPhone 13 case pre-order
During the Apple Event, new "autumn" colors of silicone and leather cases for iPhone 13 were announced. Improved MagSafe wallets are now compatible with the Find My function - so the user is informed when the MagSafe wallet detaches from the iPhone or is left behind.
Apple continues to develop the MagSafe system - that's why creating a functional wooden case for the iPhone 13 has been on our priority list for some time. Our predictions came true, so with the launch of the new iPhone models, we can announce great news for all fans of Oakywood wooden accessories: we are starting the pre-order of wooden MagSafe cases for all iPhone 13 models today! As always, we will prepare the cases in two variants: cherry and walnut. The shipping of the cases starts in October.

IFF 2016 @EdenCourt – Short Docs
documentaries, scottish, short films
I did intend to see both sets of short documentaries that were showing at the Inverness Film Festival this year, but circumstances conspired against me. (I did, however, get a lovely walk in the Autumnal sunshine yesterday morning as compensation.) Handily, the screening that I did see was the one that contained almost all of the short documentaries I was most interested in seeing. If I could only see one of the screenings, I'm glad it was this one.
The Bell Ringers
The first documentary in the collection is a little slice of life film, about people learning to be bell ringers at St Andrews Cathedral in Inverness. It's an interesting enough little piece as it is, but mostly it made me want a documentary more about the history of the bell ringers, I wanted more than anything to know more. It also reminded me that a couple of years ago I started some research work, towards making a radio documentary about the Bell Ringers at Dunblane Cathedral – now I really want to make that documentary!
Dear Peter
Dear Peter is, I think, the third of Scott Willis' documentaries that I've seen now – he worked at Eden Court for a while which sort of makes him a local film-maker – so I'm starting to recognise his style of film-making. They tend to focus on an interesting character that Scott's met – and they tend to stand or fall based on the nature of the friendship that forms between film-maker and subject. This one works really well, I found it compelling and lovely, perhaps most of all because I'm also the sort of person who, if they found a collection of art postcards in a bookshop – all addressed to the one person – would want to track that person down and interview them.
Sheepo
The shortest film in the collection – Sheepo is probably the film that I would most whole-heartedly recommend. There's not a lot to it and it's certainly not going to change the world, but it was by a long way, the most fun. It was brilliantly shot, did nice things with sound and had an engaging and amusing protagonist and subject. Who knew competitive sheep shearing could be so much fun?
With The Rising Tide
I'm not sure why I like documentaries about boat building, but I really love documentaries about boat building. There's just something about the type of person who is willing to spend the time to hand build a wooden boat that seems to make them a compelling subject for a documentary and this one was full of those people. Young and old, male and female – and quite frankly the lassie from Plockton neatly articulated everything I love about woodworking – the sense of community, of building something together, something greater than themselves oozed out of every moment of this film.
With the Rising Tide is a gorgeous lyrical film, with an interesting approach to sound. (Even if said sound did make the sound designer in me twitch to get at the sound mix to mellow out some of the more jarring audio cuts.)

I've always had a desire to be someone that loves running, and runs regularly. I love the idea that you can do it anywhere, without much more equipment than a pair of shoes (and even those are not technically needed). Unfortunately, it's much easier to dream about being a runner than actually doing it. I've tried to start running regularly a few times in the past, but usually quit after the first or second day. So at the beginning of April (2012), I resolved to try again.
I used a program called "Couch to 5K", which is a running program geared towards inexperienced runners (aka couch potatoes), with the goal of working up towards being able to run 5km. It is an interval training program, which means there are periods of running, followed by periods of walking, and repeat. The running intervals start out small (you only run for 30 seconds at a time during the first week), and gently increase each week until you are running the entire time.
I printed off a "VisualC25K" chart, and posted it on my bathroom door, so I would see it often. I got a free app for my iPhone that times your runs according to the C25K program, and has a voice that tells you when to run, and when to walk. I already had running shoes & workout clothes, so there wasn't anything I needed to buy.
I followed the program as prescribed, and ran 3 times/week. Some days it was hard to get started, but once I left my house and started running, I usually enjoyed it. After a week or two, I started to look forward to my runs. Even when I was running, and the app told me to stop, sometimes I wanted to just keep going (this is why the program is good–if I did keep running I'd probably run out of energy too quickly).
I will ask my doctor about this, but I might just have to concede that running is not for me. Perhaps at some point in the future I will try again, but for now I will stick to biking, and might take up swimming for extra exercise. I feel like I gave it a fair shot, didn't give up too quickly, and that's that.

Over the past fifteen years, Emma Watson has proved that she's so much more than Hermione Granger.
The star of the "Harry Potter" franchise hasn't let herself be defined by the iconic and beloved character. Over the years, she's proved that she has acting chops, became a style icon, and is fighting for women's rights worldwide at the same time — and she's only 26 years-old.
Watson's acting career got started with "Harry Potter," but she really started to come into her own as an actress and as a public figure once the series ended and she had more time to explore other projects.
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born on April 15, 1990 in Paris — but she was raised in England.
Her brother Alex was born three years later. Her parents, both British lawyers, got divorced when she was five.
Her only acting experience before being in the films was acting in school plays. She also took acting classes at the Stagecoach Theatre Arts school at Oxford. J.K. Rowling wanted Watson immediately after seeing her screen test.
Watson went on to continue her role as Hermione in "The Chamber of Secrets" (2002), "The Prisoner of Azkaban" (2004), "The Goblet of Fire" (2005).
In 2006, Watson wasn't sure if she'd sign on for the final films, due to interests outside of acting and wanting to focus on her education.
In 2007, the fifth installment, "Order of the Phoenix" came out.
Watson and co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint cast their hands, feet, and wands on cement outside the iconic Gauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.
In 2007, Watson made her movie debut in a role that wasn't Hermione Granger in the BBC adaptation of the 1936 novel "Ballet Shoes."
2009 was a big year for Watson: "The Half Blood Prince" came out, and she also became the new face of Burberry, the iconic British luxury brand.
Her brother, Alex, also appeared in some of the ads with her.
In 2010, "Deathly Hallows Part I" came to theaters. A few months later in 2011, the last Potter film, "Deathly Hallows Part II" premiered, and Watson got emotional.
In July 2011, Watson, now making her way to become a style icon, was on the cover of Vogue.
The next month, she starred in a commercial for Lancôme perfume.
The ending of the Potter franchise allowed Watson to explore other roles and show off her acting chops.
She played edgier characters who aren't anything like Hermione, in movies including "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," "The Bling Ring," and "My Week With Marilyn."
Watson also showed the world that she can be funny, too. In 2013's "This Is the End," where she played herself in a cameo in the comedy starring Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and James Franco.
In 2014, Watson graduated from Brown University with an English degree.
The same year, she was named the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, which aims to fight discrimination against women worldwide. She also had a role in Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" alongside Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly.
In 2014, she gave a speech at the UN headquarters in New York City to promote the launch of HeForShe, a campaign that encourages men to stand up for gender quality.
Watson appeared on the Time 100 list for the first time in 2015, just after her 25th birthday.
In January 2016, she launched the feminist book club Our Shared Shelf, which aims to raise awareness for gender inequality by discussing articles and books on the subject.
She dropped herself out of Emma Stone's Oscar-winning role in "La La Land" so she could play the iconic Disney princess.
In 2017 you can also catch Watson alongside Tom Hanks in "The Circle," a film adaptation of the Dave Eggers novel, which comes out in April.


Thousands of educators descended on Frankfort to protest pension and education cuts late last month.
During a news conference on Monday, Bevin criticized the statewide teachers union for organizing recent protests.
"The issue isn't the teachers. Teachers want to teach their children. The [Kentucky Education Association] has been a problem," Bevin said.
The KEA hasn't called for teachers to take off work.
At least 12,000 teachers and supporters rallied in Frankfort last Monday, days after leaders of the Republican-led legislature rushed through a surprise overhaul of the state's pension systems.
The bill would move future teachers out of the conventional pension system and give them "hybrid cash-balance" retirement plans, which are similar to 401k-type plans.
Teachers also won't be able to use sick leave for retirement purposes after this year, capping the amount current teachers have accrued.
Now the teachers' organizations are rallying opposition to Bevin's vetoes of the two-year state budget and revenue bills, which included more funding for education than the governor's proposed spending plan.
The KEA issued a statement saying the bills aren't perfect, but still calling on the legislature to override Bevin's vetoes.
"The Governor should sign both bills and begin doing now what he should have been doing all along: engaging the legislature and the people of Kentucky in constructive, forward-looking, bipartisan discussions aimed at finding new solutions to the revenue challenges facing the Commonwealth," KEA communications director Chas Main said in a statement.
The Jefferson County Teachers Association also called for lawmakers to override the vetoes, but went a step further in asking its members to protest in Frankfort on Friday.
"The Association does not agree with the some of the regressive ways the revenue bill generates new revenue, but without a revenue bill, Kentucky will lose hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for public education," the organization's Facebook page said.
"JCTA asks every member who has a personal day available to please use the personal day to go to Frankfort on Friday," the message reads.
A teacher advocacy group in Pike County has also called for teachers to attend protests in Frankfort on Friday, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
Lawmakers will have the opportunity to override Bevin's vetoes on Friday or Saturday — the final two days of this year's legislative session.
If they don't override the budget veto or pass a new budget, Bevin would have to call a special legislative session for lawmakers to pass a new spending plan.

The 1906 Peter Iredale shipwreck is a popular attraction at Fort Stevens State Park on the North Oregon Coast.
Find heaping helpings of history along with the requisite stunning scenery and athletic outdoor pursuits near Astoria at Fort Stevens State Park.
The military installation at Fort Stevens State Park once guarded the Pacific Northwest interior from invasion. Before that, the area was home to a Clatsop Indian village that did a brisk business in trade. Today, the 4,250-acre park's crowning jewels are miles of trails for hiking and biking, freshwater lakes for paddling and an historic shipwreck located along the park's scenic public beach.
The surprisingly intact remains of the Peter Iredale shipwreck have been resting on the shore at Fort Stevens since it ran aground on October 25, 1906 during an attempt to enter the mouth of the Columbia River. The Peter Iredale, built in 1890, was once a magnificent, four masted steel barque. Today, it is the only accessible shipwreck for viewing in this area known as the Graveyard of the Pacific for the many ships that the treacherous waters claimed.
Visitors to the park can also cycle nine miles of paved bike trails or strike out on foot along six miles of hiking trails that lead through a stunning stretch of spruce and hemlock forest, plus wetlands, dunes and shore pine areas. With plenty of wildlife around, you're likely to spy a critter or two secreted away among all the flora and fauna. On warmer days, hit the freshwater Coffenbury Lake for fishing, canoeing or swimming. Horseback riding is also on offer.
Military buffs will enjoy exploring the park's military museum and an accompanying host of preserved bunkers. There's also an Indian long house replica, a Civil-War-era earthen site and artillery gun batteries. In summer, tours are led through underground military relics. In fall, you may even witness a Civil War battle reenactment.

Voragine (Nada) è un film del 1947 diretto da Edgar Neville.

La pellicola è frutto di una coproduzione spagnola e italiana.

Trama
Andreina arriva dalla provincia a Barcellona a casa dei nonni per continuare gli studi universitari, ma si rende conto che l'atmosfera non è quella ideale: nella casa regnano miseria e vizio, gli zii sono perennemente arrabbiati per tenere a bada Ramon, che ha fama di grande conquistatore di donne, mentre il pittore Juan sperpera i suoi guadagni ottenuti con la vendita dei suoi quadri al gioco, e anche sua moglie non è migliore di lui.

Andreina ben presto col suo temperamento riesce a imporre il suo carattere e fa amicizia con Ena Berenguer, la quale però le rivela che sua madre in passato ha avuto una storia con Ramon. Per vendetta, Ena seduce il giovane portandolo dapprima alla follia e infine alla morte per suicidio. Andreina, disgustata da quell'ambiente, deciderà di rimanere sola per l'intera esistenza, mentre Ena si sposerà felicemente con un altro uomo.

Distribuzione
Il film in Italia ottenne il visto di censura n. 4.634 del 25 ottobre 1948 con una lunghezza di 2.350 metri. Il personaggio principale femminile, che nella versione spagnola si chiamava Andrea, in quella italiana venne rinominato Andreina.

Versione spagnola
In Spagna la pellicola fu pesantemente censurata dal regime franchista: la durata originale, di 110 minuti, venne ridotta a 76 minuti tagliando ben 34 minuti, eliminando i ruoli di Félix Navarro, María Bru e Rafael Bardem, cancellando inoltre la maggior parte delle scene in esterni a Barcellona.

Il film, nella sua versione spagnola, è stato proiettato in televisione sulla rete RTVE nel maggio del 2021, in occasione del centenario della nascita di Carmen Laforet.

Altre versioni
Nel 1956, in Argentina fu girato un remake del film dal romanzo di Carmen Laforet, intitolato Graciela, diretto da Leopoldo Torre Nilsson e interpretato da Elsa Daniel e Lautaro Murúa.
