[David Fickling] Lesson in Ardern landslide victory
For governments facing a growing wave of coronavirus cases as fall turns to winter, there's a stark lesson in Saturday's stunning election victory for New Zealand's incumbent Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern: Voters really want their governments to suppress the pandemic.
A landslide victory means Ardern could govern with the first outright majority since her country adopted proportional representation in the 1990s, with her Labour party on track to win the largest share of the vote in 70 years.
That's a remarkable turnaround. At the time New Zealand went into one of the world's most stringent lockdowns in late March, she'd been mostly trailing the opposition National party in opinion polls for nine months.
Shutting down the economy at a time when there'd been just 102 cases was a political gamble, but one that's paid off. The toughest restrictions lasted just a month, and despite a small flare-up of cases in August, life is now normal enough that Ardern's partner shared home-cooked snacks with reporters gathered outside her house waiting for the election result:
Quarantine is still in place at the border and people are exhorted to wash their hands and wear facemasks on public transport, but the level of formal restrictions now is lower than in Sweden, which has followed a more laissez-faire approach.
Visits to retail and recreational venues, which are down compared to pre-pandemic levels by 28 percent in the UK and 16 percent in the US, are up 4 percent, according to location data from Alphabet Inc.'s Google. After wobbling during the country's two brief lockdowns, credit and debit card spending in retail stores was running roughly in line with last year's numbers by September.
The argument against lockdowns has always been that they do damage -- especially to people on lower incomes who are least able to make the adjustments, like working from home, that have helped white-collar workers cope.
That's true, but it's all the more reason to make the shock short, sharp and early. Half-measures just prolong the crisis and give the epidemic an opportunity to resurge in future. Are Europeans and Americans, now facing another wave of infections, really in a better public health situation than citizens of China, Taiwan, Vietnam and South Korea, whose governments dealt aggressively with the pandemic at an early stage?
In Australia, case numbers were running at similar levels to those in the UK when the main epicenter in Victoria state imposed strict lockdowns in late June. The country is now seeing daily case numbers in the single digits, compared to the tens of thousands being reported in Britain, and Victoria's premier has maintained majority support in polls despite months of severe restrictions.
"The argument is strong for countries adopting a so-called zero-Covid strategy" like that in New Zealand, a team of authors in Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK and Norway argued in medical journal The Lancet last month.
Given the apparent political dividends, it's surprising that more governments haven't attempted such a policy. President Donald Trump appears to be heading toward a historic defeat in next month's US presidential election. Less than a year after a landslide election win, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is within a whisker of being overtaken by the opposition on poll averages. Even Sweden's historically dominant Social Democrats have seen their poll standing sliding since the summer, as the promise of growing immunity has receded.
New Zealand clearly has some inbuilt advantages. It scores highly in surveys of public trust, as do the Nordic countries and (surprisingly) China. Societies led by women -- a quality it shares with Taiwan and Germany -- also seem to have coped particularly well.
At the same time, the politics is far from straightforward. Ardern's Labour Party was in coalition with the Trump-style New Zealand First party and depended on votes from the left-wing Greens to get legislation through parliament. Despite the country's geographic isolation, lockdown isn't a particularly easy choice. Among wealthy countries, few are more dependent on tourism as a share of gross domestic product.
Trust in government also isn't a given, but a long-term project that countries need to work at fostering, as my colleague Noah Smith has argued. Take the US After plummeting from postwar highs during the turbulent 1970s, trust rose strongly under the Reagan and Clinton administrations, just as economic growth delivered benefits to ordinary people, according to a long-running survey from the Pew Research Center.
That's a telling correlation. As in many previous pandemics, much of the strongest push against social distancing measures has been on behalf of businesses that suffer most immediately from a locked-down economy. That motivation can be salutary when infections are on the wane -- but when disease is running rampant, you risk a situation where the state fails to take necessary control measures for the sake of the economy, while citizens reduce their activity anyway for fear of infection. As my colleague Tyler Cowen has argued, none of us will get back to a free and open economy unless we first deal with the pandemic.
Governments have a choice whether to act on behalf of their citizens or not -- and with interest rates at historic lows, there's little stopping them from borrowing the money to make it through this crisis. With more than a million dead, their passivity in the face of this outbreak has had a terrible human toll. When elections roll around again, voters won't thank politicians who were prepared to sacrifice them for the sake of a smaller budget deficit.

Aztec Challenge / Cosmi 1984
Screenshots: � play/stop �
Aztec Challenge has the player in the role of a young Aztec, who has to get through seven challenges to prove his courage. The levels are as follows:
1) The Gauntlet: the Aztec is running towards the temple, while other Aztecs throw spears. Duck and jump to avoid the spears and get to the temple.
2) The Stairs: run up the temple's stairs while avoiding the stone blocks falling towards you.
3) The Temple: Run into the heart of the temple and avoid the spears and traps.
4) The Vermin: Run through the heart of the temple while avoid spiders, snakes, scorpions, and... er.. iguanas, I think they're suppose to be!
5) Hopaztec: Find a way through the maze of stones. Step on a wrong stone and you'll set off a booby trap.
6) Piranha: Swim through the river while avoiding the flesh-eating fish.
7) The Bridge: hop, step and jump over the gaps in the bridge to get to your freedom.
Let there be no doubt: the graphics of Aztec Challenge are awful. Blocky sprites, jerky scrolling and terrible color clashes makes this game a bit of an eyesore. The gameplay itself is also a little quirky in some places; an example being level 4 (The Vermin) where the sprite collision routine has little logic to it. But if you can see past the garish graphics then you've got a game that challenges your reflexes and dexterity.
Added to this is a soundtrack by Paul Norman, that builds up as you progress in the current level, so you have an indication of how far you have to go. The waveforms that Norman uses are simple, but for some reason, the music works and gives the game an extremely helpful boost in atmosphere.
The other downside to this game, apart from the graphics, is level 5 (Hopaztec). Dexterity and reflexes are completely thrown out the window, and you have to leave it to chance that you find your way from one end of the room to the other without losing too many lives. This unfortunately tends to leave a bad taste in your mouth, especially when you've gotten through the first four levels using some of the best reflexes you can muster.
Having said that, Aztec Challenge is a strange game in that it forces you to keep going, just so that you can get to the next level, or in some cases, just to hear the music building up to it's climax.
If you like games that challenge your sense of timing, then you'll like Aztec Challenge despite the graphics. It will make you shout in frustration sometimes, especially on level 5, but it will certainly give your Joystick Hand a good excercise. If reflex-style games aren't your cup of tea, however, you'd be best to stay away. The quirky gameplay alone is not enough to keep you amused.

Banco Santander, or The Bank of Santander (as most know it) is the first Spanish bank that announced the launch of its blockchain payments app for retail customers in even four countries: Spain, UK, Brazil and Poland. The app uses xCurrent which is Ripple's blockchain technology – to facilitate payments and help customers make most of their digitally connected devices.
The banking giant has even laid a claim as "the first bank to roll a blockchain-based international payment service of this kind to customers in multiple countries at the same time". The name of the app is One Pay FX and according to users, it is already big as it is present in even four countries.
In case you didn't know, Santander is using Ripple's xCurrent which is an enterprise blockchain solution developed by the San Francisco-based FinTech giant in order to power end-to-end tracking of payments and instant settlements around the world. The platform, however, doesn't use Ripple's native cryptocurrency (XRP) to power the blockchain.
At this time, One Pay FX is popular because of the claims that it enables international payments with "3 clicks and 40 seconds" which is a claim that is yet to be verified with a real-world transfer.

Holiday breaks are a vulnerable time for the campus. Thieves take advantage of the decline in foot traffic and overall activity. Please do your part in helping Public Safety protect your personal property over the holiday breaks. If you plan on leaving your bike on campus, it is recommended that you secure it in a highly visible, well-lit area. If you live in a residence hall that has interior bicycle racks (McAlister, Kelly House), it is recommended that you relocate your bike to that location. Students are highly encouraged to take valuables home with them during the winter break. For faculty and staff who utilize offices, please make sure you are securing your office door. If you have valuables, such as phones, laptops, tablets, etc., please consider locking them in a desk drawer or other secure location.
If you plan to host a special event off-campus in the downtown area in 2019, please be sure to contact the City of Charleston's Recreation Department for a permit. For more information on the application and approval process, please visit the Recreation Department's website. You can also access the City of Charleston's Special Events Ordinance here.
As winter break is approaching, now is the time to prepare your residence if you are planning on going out of town for the holiday. For those of you residing in the downtown area, particularly students living in off-campus housing, you can contact the Charleston Police Department ((843) 720-2426) if you would like an officer to keep an eye on your residence while you are away. Any faculty, staff, or students living outside the immediate area are encouraged to call their local police department, as most law enforcement agencies offer this service.
Recently, there have been several thefts in the area immediately adjacent to the campus. Whether you live on or off campus, please make sure that you are locking all doors. Do not leave valuables in plain sight. Be a good neighbor. If you notice anything suspicious, notify Public Safety or local law enforcement immediately.
Large displays of holiday gifts should not be visible through the windows and doors of your home. This may entice a passerby. Keep these items out of view and store them in a secure location within your home.

Q: Python: How should we write a function to return an object/list and boolean flag In C/C++, it is common to write a function which returns a success or failure flag and indicates the pass-by-reference object/list is ready to use. For example,
bool get_list(List& l)
{
    ...
    if (ready)
    {
        l = m_list
    }
    return ok
}

In python, I understand we can return more than one thing in a function but this does not look neat. What is the equivalent way to return the object/list and the boolean flag?
Edit
Thanks for the comments. I understand we should use exception in modern C++ code but you can see a lot of similar C/C++ code lying around. As mentioned in my question, I know we can return tuple in python (i.e. more than one thing -- sorry for not using the python context). I think I did not use the correct example which leads to the confusion here. For example, it can be something like if you want to return a member variable with list type when it is ready (some condition matches). Instead of returning the list and do the check outside, you can use a flag to indicate if the list is ready to use, which is more efficient.
But as per the below answers suggested, returning tuples is the way to achieve it.

A: in python you can return a tuple of values
def get_object(object):
    # start of some code
    code
    # end of some code
    if ok:
        object = something

    return ok, object

and then have:
flag, result = get_object(myobj)

after the edit from OP, there's also the possibility of having the get_object be a kind of Mutator function follow the following logic example:
class classy(object):
    # this is your object
    def __init__(self):
        self.att = 1
        self.btt = 2

def mutate_obj(classy_obj):
    # this is your get_object for example
    # code
    ok = True  # or False whetever
    if ok:
        classy_obj.att = 10  # or a new classy, or any other object manipulation, on classy_obj
    return ok

then:
in ipython:
In [4]: myclassy = classy()

In [5]: myclassy
Out[5]: <__main__.classy at 0x3c03250>

In [6]: myclassy.att
Out[6]: 1

In [7]: myclassy.btt
Out[7]: 2

In [8]: flag = mutator_func(myclassy)

In [9]: myclassy
Out[9]: <__main__.classy at 0x3c03250>

In [10]: myclassy.att
Out[10]: 10

A: Since you have tagged python also in the question I'm gonna go ahead and help you out in python. Introducing tuple unpacking to your rescue (Please do google it out).
def do_something(*args, **kwargs):
    some_data_structure = []        # optionally choose whatever DS you want here
    some_flag = False
    # write your logic to change or set the flag
    if some_flag:
       # write some logic here to manipulate your DS now
        some_data_structure.append(1) # just an example
    return (some_flag, some_data_structure)

returned_flag, data_structure = do_something()  # make sure you study about tuple unpacking to understand it.
But also if you think you need to stick return one param then you can check the elements in your some_data_structure if that is empty then it means some_flag is False.
Play around and let me know if you need more help!

A: Essentially what you want to do is return an optional value. Usually you do not need tuples for that at all because the extra indicator flag is superfluous. Returning None is the usual way to indicate no value. For example the get() method of Python's built-in dictionaries returns the value if it exists, otherwise None (or an explicitly specified alternative value, but None is the default.)
This pattern is so common that it is explicitly supported in Python's new type annotations as Optional[SomeType], which means either SomeType or None.
For that reason, unless you need None for something else, the most idiomatic way to solve your problem is:
def get_list():
    if ready:
        return the_list
    return None

Are Hybrid Cars The Solution To Being Able To Tell Chavez To Shove It
As the price of a gallon of gasoline crept over three dollars a gallon during 2006, many people decided that there had to be a way to spend a lot less money on gasoline. There were different approaches to doing this, one was finding a vehicle that was better on gas mileage. Another interesting possibility is a hybrid car. A hybrid car is one that can use both gas and electricity.
The need for these types of vehicles is actually more pronounced because of the pollution of our planet than even just because of gas prices. A moped is an example of a vehicle that uses both electricity and gas. Any kind of vehicle should be able to drive three hundred miles without having to refuel. It also should not be difficult when it is necessary to refuel them.
One other thing that most people may not consider when purchasing a car but that is important when considering a hybrid car is the ability of the vehicle to keep up with other cars on the road. Hybrid cars are typically more expensive than those cars that just use gas, but that is usually made up for by the fact that their operating costs are a lot less. There are a couple of draw backs that many have had to get used to, one is the speed factor. The hybrid cars have not been able to go as fast as the gasoline driven cars. Honestly though, it is definitely safer to drive slower, and more economical. Another drawback would be that the hybrid cars are not as fancy as the gasoline driven cars.
But with a little modesty you can get past that too. Honda has made the first hybrid sold in the United States. It is called the Insight.
Honda states that it is the most fuel efficient at sixty six miles per gallon. This particular hybrid is a sporty looking car that looks like a lot of fun to drive. This is a gasoline/electric car that you never have to plug in. Honda's goal has been to be environmentally fundamentally friendly for quite a few years now. The Insight was first introduced in December, 1999. They won the highest fuel economy rating awards from 2000 through 2005.
The Insight does not require a special kind of fuel, it uses regular unleaded gasoline. It depends mostly on the gasoline engine; the electrical motor assists it when extra power is needed. The batteries are recharged during forward momentum and during breaking. The gasoline engine also does some charging of the batteries.
The Insight exceeds all safety standards, from emission standards to personal safety standards regarding seat belts and air bags. More and more hybrid vehicles are coming on the market, making saving gas money a much easier perspective. As the new vehicles are developed it is expected that prices for these electric and hybrid cars will decline to a more natural number.

The Hunger Games comes out tonight at midnight! I'll be going to see the show tomorrow evening.
The movie has had an amazing amount of buzz; people are comparing this opening to the Harry Potter and Twilight movies, which all made bazillions on their first weekends. I'm very optimistic the movie deserves the hype. Best of all, The Hunger Games is an action movie with a strong female lead. Maybe it will do for action films what Bridesmaids did for comedies.
Here are some of the articles and reviews I've read about the movie in the past few weeks. Many of them seem focused on central problems of adaptation and whether it's even possible. Others focus on how this and other YA novels are engaged in potical and social justice issues.
Will The Hunger Games Be the First Real Female Franchise? This article highlights what I think is one of the most important aspects of this movie: its potential to change the entertainment industry and our cultural definition of a hero.
The Sexual Politics of The Hunger Games I don't think this article tells the full story, but it makes some good points in comparing HG to Twilight and talking about how the male characters are the ones objectified in these series.
Part Thoreau, Part Princess I love the title of this article. It discusses the tension in The Hunger Games between telling a survival story and a Cinderella/makeover story. Katniss's own ambivalence does much to keep her story from becoming She's All That: Wilderness Edition. In the end, she learns to use her beauty as just another tool in her toolbelt, and clothes and makeup are weapons and skills she learns to use against her enemies. Sounds pretty Third Wave to me.
Can The Hunger Games Really Capture All of Katniss Everdeen? This speculative article wonders whether the medium of film will be able to communicate the interior life of the heroine, when everything that makes her a sympathetic character is inside her, and her actions often make her seem unfeeling and cold. I agree this is one of the main challenges of the filmmakers.
10 Things from The Hunger Games That the Movies Probably Can't Pull Off Just what it sounds like, a top 10 list of moments and concepts from the book that might not translate well to film.
The Mockingjay Problem Examines why the third book in the Hunger Games series may be problematic to adapt, and compares it to several previous movie adaptations to see how translating it to screen could change the story.
What The Hunger Games Gave Me This one is about the writer's personal response as an abuse survivor to Katniss's focus on survival. It's the character's key trait; it's what makes her strong and also sometimes unappealing.
'Hunger Games' pits book gore vs. movie gore This article is mostly written for parents trying to figure out whether to let their kids see the movie. It points out the difference between violence in books and movies, mainly that with books readers have the choice about how much detail they want to see in their imaginations, but in movies, the director decides that for you.
Why The Hunger Games Is Way Better Than Twilight. Agreed.
The Hunger Games: Why It Matters This essay discusses the themes relating to reality TV and how it has the potential to change peoples' perspectives.
Counter insurgency and 'The Hunger Games' compares the situation of the books/movie to questions about war and when it is or isn't worth the cost in lives.
Slate's review tells the skeptic: Just go see it! The biggest argument is that this story will dominate popular imagination for the next couple years, so you might as well know what's going on.
Is The Hunger Games Publicity too Hunger Games-ish? I don't always agree with Katie Roiphe, but she has a point here, one that echoes the Washington Post review above. The book criticizes spectacle-creating marketing schemes, but the movie's promotion engine is committing some of the same sins that the Capital cronies do.
Acting Trumps Action in a 'Games' Without Horror This negative review says that because the way the violence had to be filmed to get a PG-13 rating, the film loses the emotional revulsion and moral criticism of violence found in the book.
From Young Adult Book Fans to Wizards of Change This article discusses how readers of popular YA books like The Hunger Games and Harry Potter have created "fan activist" groups to take action on real-world issues.
Climate Change in The Hunger Games. This essay is about how this and other YA series imagine a world in which global warming has had catastrophic consequences, and the books are galvanizing some teens into action.
The Hunger Games: The first reviews are in, and they're overwhelmingly positive A round-up of reviews.
The Hunger Names Explanations of the names of several characters.
Reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. 90% rating at last check. Strong showing.
The Hunger Games: 16 (Im)posters A bunch of people took stills from the movie and made posters in the style of other movies and directors. Some are better than others.
The Capitol of Panem is Galt's Gulch Professor Weston says HG is like a sequel to Atlas Shrugged.
Movie Review: The Hunger Games Is Either Terrific or Just OK–It All Depends on You Well, if that's not the most wishy-washy movie review headline I've ever seen. Take a stand, people! The review profiles types of fans and predicts their reactions to the movie.
The Hunger Games: A lightweight Twi-pocalyse This negative review faults Collins for not explaining more fully how the society of Panem developed from our current society. I think he misses the point. The Hunger Games does criticize parts of our violent, celebrity-crazed, "reality"-hungry culture, but it's not a critique of current politics like 1984, Brave New World, or The Handmaid's Tale are. I don't see a problem with Collins constructing a fantasy world. The reviewer also says that the movie focuses too much on the love triangle, which will probably be true. Mostly he just seems like a cynic who would hate any movie based on a YA novel.

Thanks for all the interesting links. We're going to see "Hunger Games" Sunday.

Norwich City and Southampton set for Man United transfer battle amid ongoing goalkeeper talks
Southampton remain keen on the 20-year-old Manchester United talent but face competition from a Norwich City who are trying to sign 25-year-old Saints goalkeeper Angus Gunn
Updated 09:01, 12 JUN 2021

Southampton are set to face competition from Premier League rivals Norwich City this summer for the services of Manchester United defender Brandon Williams, despite currently being in talks with the Norfolk club over the transfer of goalkeeper Angus Gunn.
The two sides are currently ironing out the details of a £5.5million move for the goalkeeper that will see Saints land an initial £2.5m upfront.
The transfer will do little to pay back the £13.5million Saints paid for his services back in 2018, but the deal could rise as high as £10million if a number of individual performance-based clauses are triggered.
Southampton are confident that the deal will soon be agreed with Norwich hoping it will be completed by as early as next week.
However, while the two clubs discuss the transfers of their 25-year-old goalkeeper, both are looking to beat each other to the signature of right-footed Manchester United left-back, Williams.
The 20-year-old defender is said to be desperate for first-team game time in the Premier League next season and will be seen as a cheap and attractive loan option for a number of clubs this summer.
One of those clubs is Southampton with Hasenhuttl making it knows that he is interested in the defender this summer in a move that would provide Saints with support at both left-back and right-back.
The Austrian boss has highlighted Williams as a player of interest as he prepares to chase his signature for the third transfer window on the bounce.

However, Saints are set to land competition from Norwich who are also vying for his services.
A report by The Athletic claims that the Canaries are currently buoyed by 'encouraging signs' that a deal with United can be done.
The move would, however, see Williams join a side who currently boast two senior full-backs, both expected to remain with the club next summer.
Presuming a summer bid does not prise him away from Carrow Road, attacking right-back Max Aarons remains one of Norwich's most important players.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side of their defence, the club only recently triggered a £6million obligation to buy on 24-year-old left-back Dimitrios Giannoulis.
The same is true at Southampton, however, with Kyle Walker-Peters unlikely to be displaced on the right side of the back four while the club remains locked in talks with Stade Brest in the hope of striking a deal for 23-year-old Romain Perraud.
But the biggest stumbling block is expected to be Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who rates the youngster highly and has twice blocked his departure from Old Trafford.

Speaking recently about the summer transfer plans, Solskjaer said that he does not expect many of his players to leave United between now and the end of the transfer window.
Upon hearing this, Hasenhuttl replied, speaking to HampshireLive: "Williams is an interesting player, a good player, yes.
"But as Olé said, he does not think that a lot of players will leave his club so, keep on going!"
He added: "We are looking at full-backs, wingers and other players. We are sure that there are some coming in the summer."

AWARD DOCUMENT – GENERAL HONOR DECORATION – PRUSSIA
This is an award document for the General Honor Decoration from Prussia. The modestly-priced document appears in the same general format used by Prussia to award many of its decorations. This included the Orden Pour le Mérite, the Knight's Cross with Swords of the Hohenzollern House Order, the Red Eagle, the Crown Order, etc. The document measures 13″ x 8 1/4." It was awarded in November 1903. The document is signed by the Prussian Ordenskanzler, Prinz Salm-Hortsmar. The document has previously been folded in quarters.
FRAMED PROMOTION PATENT – LEUTNANT der RESERVE ADOLF SIDLER – TRAIN-ABTEILUNG Nr 13 – WÜRTTEMBERG
This is a promotion patent that has been issued to Leutnant der Reserve Adolf Sidler. Sidler was promoted to this rank from Wachmeister vom Landwehr. The promotion patent has been framed under glass and measures 13″ x 8 ½." It took place on 12 May 1918. Sidler served in Württembergerisches Train-Abteilung Nr 13. The unit was established in 1871 and garrisoned at Ludwigsberg, where it was attached to the XIII. ArmeeKorps. The document was signed by both König Wilhelm II of Württemberg and the Kriegsminister. The document has never been folded. Very few patents we see are unfolded. After being under glass for all these years, the document is in amazing condition.
GERMANY – DOCUMENT SET FOR ENLISTED MAN WHO FINISHED WW I AS OFFIZIER-STELLVERTRETER
This is a fascinating mini group for someone who began WW I as an enlisted man, and finished it as an Offizier-Stellvertreter. The set consists of his enlisted man's militärpaß and his Offizier-Stellvertreter's Kriegs=Stammrollen=Auszug (War Master Rolls Excerpt/Extract). Essentially, an Offizier-Stellvertreter is an acting officer who has not received a commission (patent), but is "acting" with an officer's command-authority and status. It gives the man a higher ranking than any NCO, but not quite as high as a commissioned leutnant or Leutnant der Reserve. The militärpaß, of course, is an enlisted man/NCO's service record. The booklet contains all of a soldier's "who, what, and where." It will list the units in which he has served, any specialized training received, any decorations awarded, and so on. The Kriegs=Stammrollen=Auszug was a document containing most of the same information, but in a different format.
The militärpaß shows that he was an Oldenburg native, born in 1892. He entered the army in October 1912. He was posted to Jäger-Bataillon Fürst Bismarck (Pommersches) Nr 2 in Kompagnie Nr 1. He won both the 1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class and Oldenburg's equivalent, the Friedrich August Cross 2nd Class. He received both of these decorations in 1914, which was quite an accomplishment, as the requirements to receive them were much stricter that early in WW I.
His progress through the war and the various units to which he was attached are all revealed. This set can provide hours of interesting research.
BADEN – AWARD DOCUMENT-SILVER SERVICE MEDAL
This is the award document for the Silver Service Medal of the Karl Friedrich Service Medal from the Grand Duchy of Baden. It was Baden's Iron Cross 2nd Class equivalent. The document measures 6 1/2″ x 8 1/4." It has been folded previously. It is a smaller version of the document that was issued earlier in the war. It is also signed by Ordenskanzler von Babo. The recipient was Josef Spitznagel, who was assigned to 5. Batterie Landwehr-Fußartillerie-Bataillon Nr 14. The award was made on 13 September 1918, barely two months before the War's end in November 1918.

FAST FOOD AS AN ACTUAL FORM OF MODERN GASTRONOMIC CULTURE
Humanities. HUM. Basic Research Programme, 2014. No. 48.
Sokhan I. V.
This article analyzes the actual gastronomic practice of fast food. Traditional gastronomic culture is undergoing transformations in the modern world. New gastronomic scares are developing that are related to an inability to predict ingredients in consumed foods. Fast food is neutral on the basis of ethnic gastronomic cultures and is becoming a prevailing eating style. As opposed to fast food, alternative gastronomic practices are becoming more essential. They bear a relation to the establishment of individual patterns, the search for and selection of new diets, care for the information aspect of food, and a need to know its cultural and historical connotations. Those gastronomic practices that appear to reflect the primitive nature of human existence are registering present and future changes in people's ways of life in a most adequate manner.

Фаст-фуд как актуальная гастрономическая практика потребления
Сохань И. В. Журнал социологии и социальной антропологии. 2011. Т. XIV. № 5. С. 260-269.
Gastronomic consumption practices are one of the main ways of forming the corporeal human identity, a marker of his/her cultural and social status. Specificity of food as a material medium of symbols and signs, which are assimilate d at the level of the most direct corporeal experience, determines its consumption as a complex system of communication links. Today, the practice of food consumption in the form of fast food is especially relevant and registers new forms and ways of communication, not only gastronomic, but also reflecting power and new gender relations. It can be argued that it is in the form of fast food (Mac-food) the symbolic content of food overcame and absorbed its physical and technical aspects.

This paper reviews the history writing practices that were employed at Tübingen University on the occasion of its 450th anniversary. The author examines a jubilee edition of the university's history and the speeches of professors, identifying in them the ways in which they represent historical plots and their role in self-identifying the academic community.
Identities in Transition. eBook
Edited by: G. Tsolidis. 2011.
In March 2011 scholars met in Prague at the conference Interculturalism, Meaning and Identity. This event revitalised this important theme related to Diversity and Recognition. The terms 'interculturalism' and 'integration' are experiencing a renaissance. As the extent of human movement between nations increases attempts are made to balance cultural difference and social cohesion. In some contexts immigration and settlement policies are becoming more draconian in response. Because of this, interculturalism can take on many meanings. However, pivotal to the way interculturalism is understood is identification. As the relationship between nation, ethnicity and language becomes more complex so too do the ways in which people represent them selves. The cultural resources drawn on and the processes used to form identities are examined in this truly international collection. So too are the implications of these developments for how we theorise culture, meaning and identity.
University Deloproizvodstvo (Paper Work) as a Cultural Practice and Institution in Russia in the First Half of the 19th Century
Vishlenkova E. A. Humanities. HUM. Basic Research Programme, 2012. No. 03.
The article analyzes documentation management as a cultural practice and institution through which university professors' corporations in Russia in the first half of the nineteenth century lost their autonomy, acquiring instead a bureaucratic identity and ethics of state service. The study draws on official documents from university archives of Kazan, Moscow and Kharkov, and the archive of the Ministry of Education (St. Petersburg). It focuses on changes in the language of university record keeping, describing the self-identification matrices of professors as well as the growing role of quantitative and standardized information about university life they had to provide in their reports.
Новая «социальность» социальной истории
Савельева И. М. Гуманитарные исследования. WP6. Высшая школа экономики, 2015. № 3.
The aim of the paper is to proceed from surface judgments to more thorough knowledge of what is happening to social history today. The study delineates emergent research fields and subject matters of the recent social history and traces the development of the subdiscipline's conceptual framework and its main categories. Both cognitive and institutional aspects of social history's current condition are analyzed (e.g. loss of leadership, the scholarly community lacking a "midpoint" notwithstanding the numerous journals, associations, and old academic elite still persisting).

Тождество "я" - конфликт интерпретаций
Порус В. Н. Культурно-историческая психология. 2011. № 3. С. 27-35.
The paper treats the issue of identity of the ego, which constitutes the central problem of personology. The skeptical approach to this problem, which sees it as not being subject to be resolved by means of science, began with D. Hume's work. Contemporary personologists (P. Ricoeur and others) approach this problem through study of culture, which imparts the ego with «narrative identity». Cultural historic psychology is a «Bridge of interpretations», upon which philosophy of culture meets psychology, and psychological data associated with «personality» are interpreted on the basis of some specific cultural philosophic theory. The «conflict of interpretations» plays and essential role in personology, which participates in the processes of emergence and overcoming of the cultural crisis. Philosophical and methodological problems that define the near term perspective development of personology are formulated: whether there are any «ego invariants» that remain regardless of any possible cultural determination; whether the ego possesses any rigidity in relation to cultural determination and, if it does, what is the nature of this rigidity; whether ego identity is destroyed when cultural determination diminishes or ceases, etc.
Language use in Moscow schools with an ethno-cultural component (based on schools with the Armenian and the Azeri ethno-cultural component)
Nikishina E. A. In bk.: Multilingualism. Proceedings of the 23th Scandinavian Conference of Linguistics. Iss. 8. Uppsala: Uppsala Universitet Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis, 2009. P. 258-271.
This paper investigates the language situation in Moscow schools with an ethnocultural component – a new form of national schools. The analysis is based on interviews which were recorded in 2007, in two Moscow schools, one of them with Armenian ethno-cultural component, and the other, with Azeri. The sample included ten students from each school (five boys and five girls).
In the paper the process of linguistic integration of Azeri and Armenian children into modern Russian society is analyzed. The comparison between these two groups is particularly appealing, because the effects of Soviet Russification, and the language situations in general, were different in Armenia and in Azerbaijan. I show that this difference influences the use of language by Azeri and Armenian children.

In this paper we introduce distinction between "ontologically non-fregean" logics and "pragmatically non-fregean" ones; by means of such distinction a classification of non-fregean logics is presented as well. We believe that NFL must be considered as a many-leveled structure; each level taken separately may vary in different way – from classical to non-classical. It is not these levels themselves that we should call "fregean" or "non-fregean", but the ways they are stuck together within the whole system. The more levels a system has, the more kinds of "fregean" and "non-fregean" we can find in it.

The article considers the Views of L. N. Tolstoy not only as a representative, but also as a accomplisher of the Enlightenment. A comparison of his philosophy with the ideas of Spinoza and Diderot made it possible to clarify some aspects of the transition to the unique Tolstoy's religious and philosophical doctrine. The comparison of General and specific features of the three philosophers was subjected to a special analysis. Special attention is paid to the way of thinking, the relation to science and the specifics of the worldview by Tolstoy and Diderot. An important aspect is researched the contradiction between the way of thinking and the way of life of the three philosophers.
Tolstoy's transition from rational perception of life to its religious and existential bases is shown. Tolstoy gradually moves away from the idea of a natural man to the idea of a man, who living the commandments of Christ. Starting from the educational worldview, Tolstoy ended by creation of religious and philosophical doctrine, which were relevant for the 20th century.

The Irony of Heidegger
Haas A. L.; NY: Continuum, 2007.
This important new book offers the first full-length interpretation of the thought of Martin Heidegger with respect to irony. In a radical reading of Heidegger's major works (from Being and Time through the 'Rector's Address' and the 'Letter on Humanism' to 'The Origin of the Work of Art' and the Spiegel interview), Andrew Haas does not claim that Heidegger is simply being ironic. Rather he argues that Heidegger's writings make such an interpretation possible - perhaps even necessary.
Heidegger begins Being and Time with a quote from Plato, a thinker famous for his insistence upon Socratic irony. The Irony of Heidegger takes seriously the apparently curious decision to introduce the threat of irony even as philosophy begins in earnest to raise the question of the meaning of being. Through a detailed and thorough reading of Heidegger's major texts and the fundamental questions they raise, Haas reveals that one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century can be read with as much irony as earnestness. The Irony of Heidegger attempts to show that the essence of this irony lies in uncertainty, and that the entire project of onto-heno-chrono-phenomenology, therefore needs to be called into question.

A few weeks ago the internet was in an uproar after it was reported that Facebook data had been used to manipulate political campaigns.
As the days progressed keyboard warriors went on a rampage over Facebook "selling data". Hold up.
A data mining firm called Cambridge Analytica developed an app called "This is Your Digital Life". The app appeared to be one of those online quizzes we've all done as a fun distraction.
The app was able to gather info from unsuspecting individuals.
That info was then used to build psychological profiles on a percentage of US voters and ultimately used to manipulate voting patterns and election results. And yes, the Trump campaign is linked to this.
Though they're attempting to deny ever using the data.
Keep in mind that when you do one of these Facebook quizzes, users are prompted to give the app permission to access their accounts as well as data from their Facebook friends.
In fact, any time you sign in to a website or app via your Facebook profile you're asked similar questions. If you approve the app is able to scrape certain data from your account.
My friend Jade ran a test on my blog to show how easy it is to hand over your data without even realising it.
Facebook doesn't have a pretty black book with your profile on display that someone can buy. That would be silly. What they do have is targeted advertising groups that include you.
Facebook has received a lot of heat in the last few weeks for this. Most notably when Elon Musk announced he was deleting his Facebook account and linked Facebook pages.
Well if Musk is doing it everyone should, right?
Musk didn't delete his Instagram account though. Instagram is owned by Facebook. So is Whatsapp. Plus records of Musk and your data is already out there, even if you did follow the #DeleteFacebook trend.
Facebook didn't "sell" data. Users who opted to give the app access to their information ultimately did that. Yes, there is an issue with the social media's IP allowing such a free flow of personal information to third parties. But if you opt in, best you know what you're opting in for.
Facebook isn't the only one you need to be worried about. Google, Amazon, Uber, shopping apps, Instagram - they all have access to personal information that is used by third parties.
They don't "sell" your data, but they do sell you.
You could delete Facebook. But then you'll need to delete almost every other app on your phone, stop using Google and other sites altogether and ultimately just get the hell off the internet.
Let me explain: Facebook doesn't have a pretty black book with your profile on display that someone can buy. That would be silly. What they do have is targeted advertising groups that include you.
As a business owner you're able to go to Facebook and say I'd like to reach females in Johannesburg who are moms, managers and are between the ages of 24 and 30.
Facebook is then able to group you and others together based on information you've supplied. The business owner then pays Facebook who shows you adverts and content from said owner. The owner doesn't know your name or the date you got married.
They cannot see that. But they can access how you engage with their content (whether you click the link, like the post or comment).
They can go back to Facebook and ask to show you and your group more content. They can also use Facebook and Google to "track" you on the internet.
Using pixels and cookies they'll be able to see when you click on their links, visit their site and see what pages you visited.
They can then choose to go to Facebook and say "show all the people who visited this page on my site an ad." They'll do the same with Google. They're not necessarily spying on you specifically but rather a group.
Facebook isn't selling your data per say, because that wouldn't make business sense. But they are selling access to YOU.
A fellow blogger has gone in to more detail and explained how this all works if you'd like a better understanding. You can read that post here.
READ MORE: Could you go back to your old phone if it was rebooted?
Before authorising apps to access information, check what you're giving them access to.
So how do I stop this?
Every time you sign in to an app or website you're giving them access to data. Every quiz you take online is giving someone access to data.
You don't need to sign in with social media accounts every time. If you're being asked to authorise usage for a third party via a social app, maybe rethink using the site or service you're on.
Uber, Google Maps and even checking weather online all require access to your data to locate you and give you the information you require.
You're giving these services insight in to your movements and access to other data. If you don't feel comfortable with that then head to settings on your device and turn location services off.
Just say goodbye to useful directions and be sure to have some spare cash available to buy a dedicated GPS service for your car.
Most companies track you via unique IDs that they put in to cookies. This means a website you visit can recognise you when you return (like automatic sign ins on Facebook). Phones have an ID service embedded in to their software.
You can mitigate how much you're tracked by clearing cookies regularly and using a private browser mode. It won't stop it completely but it will help. On your phone simply reset the device ID and opt for advertisers not to track you.
There are plugins available for your browser as well but they require you to sign in and provide data to stop sharing your data. So much of a muchness.
You have a unique IP address which can be accessed and tracked every time you visit a website (signing in or not). This IP address allows smart companies to track how you operate on the internet and ultimately collect data on your browsing habits.
You can try hide this by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) but it will slow down your performance and it costs more money. You can also avoid signing in to specific services to try circumnavigate IP address tracking.
So there really is no solution?
If you don't want any of your data collected on the internet don't go on the internet. However, this isn't all doom and gloom. Just remember to read the fine print every time you sign up to a service or app.
Facebook, since the data debacle, has made changes to their IP to try stop what occurred from happening again. But keep up to date with these changes so you're aware of what is and isn't being made available.
It seems like the obvious solution but it really comes down to being more aware of what you're doing, submitting and using on the net… and maybe stop doing those time wasting quizzes at work.

The lower shadow is long.
The upper shadow is long.
A spinning top shows indecision in market. It shows that once the trade opened, the Bulls and Bears tried to gain upper hand but failed and this resulted in final standoff after significant price fluctuations during which the Spinning Top was formed. These significant price fluctuations are represented by long shadows. If a Spinning Top appears after a long uptrend or a long Hollow or White Candlestick, it can mean a possible Bearish reversal. If a Spinning Top appears after a long downtrend or a long Filled or Black Candlestick, it can mean a possible Bullish reversal. Confirmation will be required for trading and traders can look for Gap Down or long Filled or Black Candlestick after Spinning Top appears at the top of an uptrend. This will tell them that the price will move in other direction. Similarly, if the Spinning Top appears at the bottom of a downtrend, the traders will look for Gap Up or a long Hollow or White Candlestick. This will confirm a Bullish reversal.

Clayton, David & Todd K. Smith: Heavy Load-Free (book)
You gotta love when the hype lives up to the billing! Heavy Load-Free, the DEFINITIVE biography of the rock band Free by David Clayton & Todd K. Smith (with a foreward by Chris Blackwell and introduction by Al Kooper) has been applauded as one of the best rock bios of all time, and it is just that. Wonderfully presented in a large hardcover format, at just under 300 pages and filled with plenty of rare black & white photographs of the band (many of them live shots), Heavy Load-Free is a great read for anyone interested in this highly influencial British hard rock/blues band.
Most already know a bit about the legend of Free-Paul Rodgers, Paul Kossoff, Simon Kirke, and Andy Fraser, put together the band in the late 1960's and after two modest selling albums hit it big with Fire and Water and the single "All Right Now", and became one of the biggest bands in the world. However, internal dissention between the two main songwriters, Rodgers and Fraser, plus the increasing drug problems of guitar prodigy Kossoff, ultimately led to the permanent break up of the band in the mid-1970's. A career too short for sure, but their legacy is still felt today. Clayton and Smith, in an obvious 'labor of love', document the Free story from humble beginnings to end and beyond, looking at each member individually and the band as a whole. All the Free albums are looked at, the tours dissected (with labelmates Traffic, Spooky Tooth, Mott the Hoople, and others),and the personal lives documented, especially of Kossoff's, whose sad, tragic tale of his descent into massive drug addiction to Mandrax and heroin is still shocking to read about to this day.
This is one biography you'll not want to put down, and the huge amount of photographs make it an even more pleasant read. Extremely well written and presented, Heavy Load-Free is a must have for your collection if you are a fan of the band or classic rock in general. It's a pretty pricey UK import, but worth seeking out at all costs.

Q: Examples of dynamical systems over various spaces Let's define a dynamical system as follow :
A dynamical system is a triple
$(T, X, \varphi) $
where T is a
time set, X is a state space, and
$\varphi : T \times X \rightarrow X $
is a continious function that fulfills these conditions for all
$x \in X$ :
\begin{equation}
\varphi (0,x) = x
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\forall s,t \in T : ~~\varphi(t+s,x) = \varphi (t, \varphi (s,x))
\end{equation}
There are many examples for dynamical systems on the metric spaces.
I want to ask for some simple examples of dynamical systems on the other spaces such as Hilbert spaces, vector spaces, topological spaces or other possible spaces.
Any source or comment would be appreciated.

A: For any set, a transformation of the set $F : X \to X$ always gives rise to a discrete-time dynamical system.
For topological spaces: any continuous endomorphism (that is, maps the space back into itself) of the space gives rise to a continuous dynamical system.
For linear spaces: A square matrix $A$ gives rise to a dynamical system on $\mathbb{R}^n$ given by iterating $A$, and the asymptotic behavior of trajectories of this dynamical system can be read off of the eigendecomposition for $A$. Such dynamical systems serve as models of local behavior in smooth ergodic theory, i.e., the study of dynamical systems possessing derivatives.
For Hilbert spaces: you can do the same thing as for linear spaces, but there are also many interesting nonlinear examples, e.g., solution operators for PDEs acting on suitable spaces of functions.
Another common example is the flow map for a suitably nice ODE- this is where many  examples of continuous time DS come from.
A good reference for many model examples of Dynamical systems is Brin & Stuck, Introduction to Dynamical Systems, or Guckenheimer/Holmes, Nonlinear Oscillations, Dynamical Systems and Bifurcations of vector fields. The latter reads more like an encyclopedia.

English teachers still in demand as unemployment numbers continue to rise in Spain
Rund Abdelfatah
19 Aug, 2012 @ 12:30
ENGLISH teachers continue to be in high demand despite the record unemployment that has gripped Spain.
According to Miriam Levie, founder of the English teacher training centre TEFL in Spain, the profession is thriving in spite of the crisis.
"Today, everyone wants to learn English and nearly every town around the globe has an English school looking for certified teachers," she explains.
"With a TEFL certificate you can teach anywhere around the world, but Spain is the Mecca of English language teaching due to its great weather and fabulous lifestyle.
"And best of all there is currently a high demand for English teachers here."
She continues: "We teach students what it is like to work here in order to prepare them for a teaching career here.
"Traditionally, Spaniards have had difficulties in mastering the English language," adds Miriam, who set up the school after years of teaching English and obtaining qualifications, including a BA in Business Administration, a BA in Translation Studies, and an MA in Applied Linguistics.
"It is a big problem for Spain, bearing in mind that there is an ever greater need to demonstrate a high level of English if they are to find a good job in Spain or abroad," she continues.
Her company TEFL in Spain, which has offices in Malaga and Granada, offers both four-week fulltime and 10-week part-time courses providing advanced English speakers with all the required skills and knowledge needed to work as confident English teachers.
Best of all, the centre collaborates with Acadomia, an important teacher recruitment agency, so most trainees will be offered a job consisting of a minimum of 15 hours per week, paid at the rate of €15 per hour, once they have finished the course.
In addition, TEFL in Spain is about to launch a website for live online language classes in virtual classrooms.
And the schools are paired with well-established Spanish language schools – Escuela Montalban in Granada and Futura Idiomas in Malaga – so the students can also get to grips with the language here.
"I believe it is extremely useful to have at least a basic knowledge of the Spanish language, since it helps you understand the difficulties Spanish learners of English have," added Miriam.
"Experience of learning and speaking a foreign language will help you understand language and how languages are learned in general, which helps you adapt to your students' needs."
And it seems to be paying off as the first group of students to graduate from TEFL in Spain are full of praise for the course.
"TEFL in Spain has opened the doors towards the field of English teaching with a very practical and up-to-date methodology that prepares you for countless job opportunities," explains Isaac.
"I'm really happy with the investment I've made and am confident I will be able to find a job soon after I'm finished," he added.
Fellow student Sara agrees: "I absolutely loved the course. It really prepares you to enter the world of teaching. You are helped and supported throughout the entire course."
She continues: "The experience that you gain from teaching real classes is second to none. It's hard work, but if teaching is something that really appeals to you then it's definitely worth it."

Don Jon: This fuckin' lady! Now I don't usually like it when a girl looks me right in the eye, and this girl does that a lot. But I don't know what it is about her, when she does it, I don't mind. I just look right back at her, and pretty soon, I'm hard as a fuckin' rock. It's like she knows what I'm thinkin', or I know what she's thinkin'. I don't know, it's a two-way thing. Fuckin' love it! And I don't mean love like, oh I love her or wanna marry her, definitely not thinkin' about all that shit. And she's not either... she can't. I guess I just mean love like, you know like... we're making love. And while we're doing it, all the bullshit does fade away, and it's just me and her right there, and yeah I do lose myself in her. And I can tell she's losing herself in me. And we're just fuckin'... lost together.
According to the Trivia link for this movie, the "Original cut of the film ran for 93 minutes on its Sundance premiere. When the film was given a wide release on September 2013, three minutes were cut from the film. Most of the removed materials were the porn videos Jon watches, some extended one night stand scenes and an extended first love scene between Barbara (Scarlet Johansson) and Jon."

Anti-romantic Comedy
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Jon, a confident, promiscuous, foul-mouthed, obsessive-compulsive, Catholic New Jersey boy. Though he is able to sleep with any woman he likes, which is how his friend's gave him the name Don Jon, he is unable to find the same level of satisfaction he attains through his addiction to online pornography. After meeting Barbara, played by Scarlett Johansson, Jon falls in-love and struggles to choose between her and his addiction.
Where a typical Hollywood romance would end, Don Jon just gets started. This is not a romantic comedy, this is a character-study within an anti-romantic comedy with great performances by an excellent cast in perfectly written roles. Tony Danza and Glenne Headly, as Jon's parents, provide some of the film's biggest laughs while Julianne Moore's character gives the story genuine heart. Joseph Gordon-Levitt proves to be just as talented behind-the-camera as he is in-front of it.
Don Jon does more in one small, 90-minute film than most 2 hour big films have ever accomplished. There is much to learn about relationships in this little tale yet it's never preachy and it keeps the laughs coming. This isn't the kind of film couples will feel comfortable or even want to see but it's the film they need to see. It's sincere and honest truth, no fluff.

Een geprepareerde piano (of prepared piano) is een piano waarbij op of onder een aantal van de snaren en/of hamers objecten worden geplaatst. Dit kan metaal, plastic, leer, rubber of nog iets anders zijn. De klankkleur van de getoucheerde snaar verandert daardoor lichtelijk tot ingrijpend, waarbij afhankelijk van het materiaal en de positie van het object tevens multiphonics kunnen ontstaan. Hoe de klankkleur van de tonen verandert, is te verklaren met snaarresonantie en de tabellen die gehanteerd worden bij 3rd bridge-gitaar.

Voorloper
De luthéal is een vleugel zodanig geprepareerd dat de klankkleur veranderd kon worden. Het geluid ervan ligt tussen een harp, een klavecimbel en een pianoforte in. De luthéal is in 1922 door de Belg George Cloetens bedacht en daarmee een voorloper van de geprepareerde piano.

John Cage
De term prepared piano werd bedacht door John Cage, die een stuk moest schrijven voor een auditorium waar geen ruimte was voor een slagwerkensemble maar wel een piano stond. Het bewerken van de piano bleek de oplossing, en in 1948 voltooide hij de Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano. Cage gebruikte schroefjes, moertjes, spijkers, gummetjes, stukjes papier en vele andere materialen en schreef hierbij dikwijls zeer nauwkeurig voor welke soort en lengte of dikte nodig was en waar deze hulpmiddelen geplaatst dienen te worden om het gewenste effect te bereiken.

Overige componisten
Nadien paste hij het instrument vaker toe, onder meer in zijn Pianoconcert. Andere componisten die het instrument hebben gebruikt zijn Arvo Pärt (in Tabula rasa) en Alfred Schnittke (in zijn eerste concerto grosso).
Brian Eno gebruikte op David Bowie's Low tapeloops van geprepareerde piano-stukken.
Tori Amos speelde in de jaren negentig in sommige composities op geprepareerde piano's. Ook Aphex Twin verwerkte de geprepareerde piano in zijn werk. Ook muzikanten als Fred Van Hove en Cor Fuhler gebruiken zogenaamde preparations met hun piano. De Amerikaanse pianist/songwriter Ben Folds gebruikt in zijn nummer Effington een live ter plekke geprepareerde piano.

Ook vonden veel experimenten plaats met andere soorten hulpmiddelen, zoals pingpongballen in een vleugel, papier tussen dempers en snaren, pedaaleffecten of het gebruik van slagwerkstokken en zelfs bekkens op de snaren.

One's ambition to write can become a negative thing when you insist that your life is meaningless without a certain outcome. Who you are is so much more than your writing. When the drive to get published, to "succeed," becomes a painful, strangling force, you need to let it go. Touch somebody close to you, sing a song, live and know that writing is just writing.


Mamas the Foxie Doxie as a puppy at 6 weeks old—"I got this beautiful little girl when she was 3 weeks old. Her mom could no longer care for her so the people that owned her mother gave her to me early. I started feeding her puppy milk. She is a very feisty pup. She has attitude to say the least. She knows who she likes and who she doesn't. Once she's made her mind up its not changing for anything... I love my girl."
The Toy Foxie Doxie is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Dachshund and the Toy Fox Terrier. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.


Hey guys, after what feels like forever, I'm back with a new fashion post. I have loved reviewing food places in Manchester and I have a few more ideas of what to review next but I have also missed doing fashion posts. The first two months of this year I really struggled on what to put out to you guys as I had very little inspiration but all I kept thinking was I want my outfit posts to be relatable, wearable and more importantly timeless.
When I buy something I am always thinking what I would wear with it in my wardrobe. Even with the most party style looks, I always want to try and make the most of every piece. So in this series I'm going to take one key item of the season and style it a few different ways; starting with this almost floor length dress from Topshop.
Dresses are a massive part of my wardrobe and they are items that need to be versatile. I'm all about taking an outfit from day to night, with just a few simple changes. The first look is what I would wear in the day to the office. With my small heeled sock boots, cute headband and this gorgeous dark trench coat. This look I could easily wear for a day at work and feel comfortable all day. When it comes to the evening I have switched it up by adding a pair of strappy heels, large gold earrings, and a suede clutch bag. A simple and easy way to re-style a dress.
I hope you like this new series, do let me know if you would like me to style up any piece of clothing.


When we think of the classic summer garments, surely you do not come to your head jerseys, these correspond to the time of year when we want to feel warm and comfortable. But, the universe of air conditioners and the sudden changes of temperatures in different environments have surely made you have to wear a sweater kept - or hanging on the shoulders - to prevent summer colds.
How should the summer sweaters be? The first thing is that you do not get too hot, always remember at the time of year that we are. Choose those with a fine point and a round neck. In addition, it enhances the designs that favor the colors of the summer season, more vibrant than those of winter: red, orange, fuchsia pink. But remember that basic black and white will allow your summer sweater to always be in your wallet and match what you wear.
You can also bet on designs that incorporate neckline. After all ... we are in summer! A summer jersey with bare shoulders is cheerful, fun, sensual and combines very well the concepts of the summer season with this winter garment.

Note that Hungarians often ask questions in the negative which might be asked directly in the positive form in English. It can be a form of politeness.
That would mean "do you feel dizzy?", which is basically asking the same thing, but with a different connotation, both in English and in Hungarian.

As soon as they moved onto the farm, they started working the land. Stephanie brought her horses along with her and began boarding for some area residents. The Pences bought a herd of Black Angus cattle to start their cow-calf operation, and they also grew alfalfa for baling. Having both lived in Charlottesville, Steve during his years as a student at the University of Virginia and Stephanie when she moved there with Steve while he was in medical school, both had fallen in love with Jeffersonian architecture. When they designed and built their homeplace in 2007, they made sure that it reflected that same architectural style. Their home was a hit with everyone, and friends quickly began asking if they could have their weddings on Six Penny Farm. The Pence's oldest son, Taylor, had the inaugural wedding for The Columns at Six Penny Farm venue.
A few years ago, a local vineyard approached the Pences about leasing land to grow grapes. After coming to look, the vineyard owners told Steve and Stephanie that the land was ideal for growing vines. Eventually those vineyard owners found some land closer to home, but the proverbial seed had been planted. Steve and Stephanie invited several other vineyard consultants out to look at their land, and they also began taking viticulture classes at Piedmont Valley Community College. In the spring of 2016 Steve and Stephanie planted their first grapes (Petit Verdot and Viognier) and in the fall of that year they broke ground on the Brix & Columns Tasting Room building. The building was finished in March of 2017 and the Vineyard had its soft opening in April 2017.
