Saudi Arabia's new rule states that a separation barrier in shops to segregate between males and females should be no shorter than 1.6 meters. (Reuters)
"Wall-Mart?" Saudi shops to build sex-segregation walls
Authorities in Saudi Arabia have ordered shops that employ both men and women to build separation walls to enforce segregation, local media reported on Monday.
The order was issued by Labor Minister Adel Faqih and was verified by Abdullatif al-Sheikh, the head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, commonly known as 'Mutawa' or religious police.
The new rule states that a separation barrier, no shorter than 1.6 meters, should be erected to divide men and women in the workplace.
Authorities have been focused on promoting the kingdom's conservative rules in the country's shopping malls.
On June 2011, Saudi Arabia required lingerie shops to replace their salesmen, mostly of Asian origin, with Saudi saleswomen. This directive was later extended to cosmetic outlets.
Women complained that they feel uncomfortable buying personal items from males, predicating the initiative.
The labor ministry said the decision to employ women in lingerie shops should create some 44,000 jobs for Saudi women. The unemployment rate among women stands at 30 percent according to official figures.
In December, the head of the religious police accused the labor ministry of failing to promote a safe work environment for women in the country as many have complained of harassment.

We ate smoked salmon for Christmas this year and mum gave me some smoked salmon to take home. So these boxing day style eggs were created.The Hollywood style is for a friend of ours who requested his eggs to have smoked salmon on them, so it was a perfect fit for my Saturday eggs. My taste tester said this was his favourite to date… But he says that every Saturday morning. Soft bagels that are all chewy in the middle and light toasted, seared salmon and boiled eggs… topped with a home made spicy tomato chutney and shredded basil leaves. I love the soft pillowy texture of the bagels when they are toasted, and topped with the creamy cheese and full flavour of the smoked salmon, it all matched so perfectly.
1 Place the eggs in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil, simmer for 2-3 minutes for soft eggs, or longer for hard boiled. Peel shells.
2 Lightly toast the bagels and spread with a little cream cheese on each. Heat a Frypan over high heat and sear the salmon fillets for 1 minute each side. Place on top of bagel, cut eggs into thirds and place on salmon. Drizzle with tomato chutney and sprinkle with shredded basil and cracked pepper to serve.
Partner your nibbles with this delicious, sweet cloudy apple and vodka Martini. I used cloudy apple cordial and fresh limes to add some zing. garnish with sugared red currents for some extra sharpness.This is not a true Martini as I have used some soda water to cut through the sweetness, and only vodka… I love the micro mint and the squeeze of lime at the end. you could team it with crisp apple slices for a crunchy fruit hit.
1 Combine apple syrup with vodka and soda water. Add ice to glasses and pour in vodka mix, squeeze in lime juice and serve with sugared red currents. Garnish with micro mint.
2 To sugar red currents, sprinkle sugar onto a flat plate and toss in the red currents. Serve with Martini.
I had some moon shine bottles from a food and wine festival I went to, and wanted to make them into a cool refreshing drink. Strawberries are the one fruit that reminds me of summer , and I added a few raspberries and black berries , just to complete the picture. You could substitute the fruit with watermelon, but….. I am not a real fan…. it would totally work with any juicy summer fruit, so give it a try.
It combines coconut, strawberries, raspberry and blackberry pieces along with moon shine and mint .
1 Juice strawberries, and limes through a juicer, and combine in a large jug with coconut water and moon shine.
2 Add ice, raspberries and blackberries to glasses and pour over strawberry & moonshine juice, top with a sprig of mint. Serve.

Cisco is introducing the MDS 9132T switch.
Cisco on Thursday is introducing a series of new storage area networking (SAN) options that use built-in telemetry to help customers better analyze SAN operational performance.
First, Cisco is rolling out a new 32Gbps storage fabric switch, which enables customers to scale from eight to 16 ports on, and to 32 ports with an expansion module. The Cisco MDS 9132T switch supports flash arrays for FCP workloads now and will in the near future support FC-NVMe workloads. Its features include built-in telemetry diagnostics, SAN telemetry streaming, bi-directional airflow and RESTful API Support.
To provide real-time, streaming visibility into SAN fabric, Cisco is introducing a 32GB line card with built-in telemetry. The Cisco MDS 9700 32G Module can be placed anywhere in the I/O path for seamless integration.
Typically, to accomplish that, a customer would have to implement traffic mirroring on all switches or deploy a hardware-based tap. These options don't scale well, plus they add a layer of complexity and cost. With the Cisco MDS 9700 32G Module, "you don't have to think about streaming telemetry is a separate solution," Viswanathan said.
Virtual Instrument's VirtualWisdom Platform Appliance, which will monitor and analyze the performance of SAN infrastructure.
Cisco is also on Thursday unveiling fiber channel N-port virtualization on the Cisco Nexus 9300-FX datacenter switch. Nexus 9000 products "have been and continue to be Cisco's flagship product for IP and LAN connectivity," Viswanathan said. With support for 16G fiber channel NPV (and support for 32G FC coming in the future), Nexus customers can easily migrate to the 9300-FX switches from earlier generations.
BroadSoft's technology will improve Cisco's enterprise collaboration solutions portfolio.
The deal builds upon Cisco's purchase of AppDynamics earlier this year.

Q: Destructible mesh chunks cause strange collisions I'm currently working with Destructibles in Unreal Engine 4(version4.16) and i have big question about them.
I have issue that sometimes causes my player to randomly fly in the air when destroying any destructible mesh being too close. I've checked collision and it seems that chunks are the issue here. So my question is: Can i disable collision of chunks, when they are being separated from mesh?
Don't really know where shall i search for it. Any guideliness would be really helpful.

A: As you can see in this troubleshooter, nonuniform scaling does not work with destructible mesh. You should create DM that don't require scaling at all, or require only uniform scaling. To debug where your colliders are, you can use PXVIS COLLISION console command.
Also I'd recommend you to read all of the tips in the link mentioned earlier. It is a really helpful source.

I have a Eyebrow window above my front door. While it's very pretty just the way it is, I need to put up something so you can't see right into my upstairs hallway. My plan is to make something out of sheers. This way, you can still see the window, but offers some privacy at the same time.
I have to assume this rod is made like others, and the 46 extends up to 90+ inches - correct?
I just don't want to order the wrong size.
These rods are different than the adjustable rods you are thinking of.
The 46" kit has a single 46" rod that needs to be cut to size (this can be done easily with a hacksaw.) Unless, of course, if you need exactly 46 inches.
The 92" kit has two of the 46" rods with a splice that connects the two rods, neatly. If you need anything between 46 and 92 inches, you will also need to cut it.
I hope this answers your question. If you need to know anything else do not hesitate to ask.

Our Levelling-Up Fund bid releases the economic potential of the Lincolnshire Wolds by delivering a series of sustainable place based proposals focussed on Alford, Spilsby, Louth and Horncastle via the establishment of two landmark routes covering over 100 kilometres for cycling and walking, connecting the area into the National Cycling Network and significantly enhancing access to the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The proposed investments support an 'economic opportunity zone' of over 50,000 people, connecting our towns through two new green corridors and improving access to their cultural, leisure and retail assets.
The creation of the Connected Wolds (Danelaw) and Connected Coast routes sits at the heart of our proposals.
They will support the regeneration of Alfordthrough a series of investments in its heritage infrastructure: creating a new Millwright visitor experience and enhancing the destination assets of the Manor House, the asset transfer and restoration of Alford Windmill and its visitor café and holiday accommodation, and upgrading the facilities and commercial functionality of the market place.
A new theatre and cultural hub will be created in Spilsby at the former Sessions House along with investments in the economic viability of the market place.
Further investments are planned in Louth and Horncastle to upgrade the facilities in their market squares. Louth will also be the base for a new social enterprise located in a refurbished landmark building in the town centre, providing outreach hubs in the other three market towns encouraging and facilitating cycling and wider countryside access into the new routes and their supporting towns.

Play Together on Pedals helps families get pedal ready!
Play Together on Pedals encourages families to get active.
By Suzanne Forup
Play Together on Pedals Edinburgh will get more pre-school children and their families active, enjoying the fun and freedom of cycling together
Families across Edinburgh will be helped to get pedal ready through a unique programme supporting pre-school children and their families, as they're encouraged to get active together on the cycle paths of the city.
Funded by Transport Scotland, Play Together on Pedals is a collaborative programme designed by the partners - Cycling Scotland, Cycling UK and Play Scotland – to engage children and their families in cycling activities.
Play Together on Pedals will be launched in Edinburgh on Saturday, 16 June during the Edinburgh Festival of Cycling.
All the partners are keen to talk about the benefits of a playful approach to developing active vital life skills early in childhood.
Cherie Morgan, Strategy and Development Manager at Play Scotland commented "We know that balance bikes are a playful and effective way for children to develop their co-ordination and balance skills. Cycling together with parents and carers helps playful families build memories and spend fun time together."
Building on Glasgow's successful Play Together on Pedals pre-school programme which has helped teach more than 8,000 children to ride a bike so far, the programme in Edinburgh will work with families across the capital to help them start pedalling together.
Alongside the playful programme offered to children in nurseries to get them on two wheels, the project will encourage parents and families to give cycling a go through try out sessions and drop in activities. The project will offer small grants to enable community organisations to be involved, opportunities for local cycling groups to train volunteers and use the expertise and experience of families already pedalling with little ones to help families new to cycling.
We're delighted that we're able to bring Play Together on Pedals to Edinburgh, building on the work we've done with nurseries and community organisations in Glasgow.
Suzanne Forup, Cycling UK's Head of Development Scotland
Suzanne Forup, Head of Development Scotland for Cycling UK said, "We're delighted that we're able to bring Play Together on Pedals to Edinburgh, building on the work we've done with nurseries and community organisations in Glasgow."
"As a parent new to cycling with children it can be daunting trying to work out what equipment is needed and which routes are suitable and feel safe. We're hoping to help more parents start exploring the city on two or three wheels, encourage them to leave the car at home for short journeys and enjoy being active together."
Professor Chris Oliver of the University of Edinburgh's Physical Activity for Health Research Centre said: "Play Together on Pedals is a great programme, engaging children at a young age and using their enthusiasm to get parents on two wheels too. If we're going to really tackle Scotland's health crisis we need more families being active everyday."
Maureen Kidd, Chair of Cycling Scotland said: "Parents play a really crucial role in encouraging children to continue cycling and making cycling a habit for the whole family. We're looking forward to working in partnership to help families access the fun as well as the practical benefits of cycling."
There will be an opportunity to meet the partners and take photographs of families at 11.15am at The Pleasance Courtyard, EH8 9TJ on Saturday 16 June.

Inflammation is one of the hottest topics in health and wellness. So it's not surprising that the quest to fight inflammation has been combined with one of our other favorite subjects: dieting. But is it worth adopting an anti-inflammatory diet to reduce arthritis pain? We're exploring the potential pros of this popular eating plan.
Inflammation is part of the body's response to illness or injury. When you cut yourself, your body forms a clot to stop the bleeding. Next, inflammation begins. Blood vessels dilate to allow in white blood cells and enzymes that begin healing the wound. This process comes along with the outward signs of inflammation like swelling, pain and redness.
Inflammatory response is also part of the body's effort to fight off viral infections like a cold or flu. It's a necessary function of our immune systems, but some conditions are caused by too much inflammation or an overactive immune response. In rheumatoid arthritis, the body attacks its own joints and tissues, leading to inflammation that can cause permanent damage.
Does diet have an impact on inflammation?
Most medical authorities say there isn't enough scientific evidence that the foods we eat have a direct impact on inflammation. But there are interesting studies that suggest what you eat could reduce inflammation and arthritis pain.
Most anti-inflammatory diets are similar to the Mediterranean diet, currently considered one of the healthiest ways to eat. So even if food doesn't directly reduce inflammation, these diets can promote healthy weight loss and lessen arthritis pain.
Also known as processed carbohydrates, this food group includes items like white bread and rice.
Refined carbs with a high glycemic index (white bread, candy, cakes) can cause spikes in blood sugar that may increase levels of pro-inflammatory proteins called cytokines.
Naturally-occurring fats from plant sources are often referred to as "good" fats. But trans fats are considered almost universally bad for health.
Most trans fats come from processed hydrogenated oils used to extend the shelf life of packaged foods and for easy frying in restaurants. Trans fats may be great for the food industry, but they've been linked to heart disease and systemic inflammation.
To cut trans fats, avoid commercial baked goods, frozen pizza, and fried fast foods. Pay close attention to the nutrition labels of any packaged foods you consume on a regular basis.
Omega-6 fatty acids are usually included in the list of "good" fats we should be eating. But typical western diets tend to include too many sources of omega-6 and not enough omega-3 fatty acids.
A higher dietary ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 can trigger production of inflammatory chemicals associated with rheumatoid arthritis as well as diabetes, IBD, and cardiovascular disease.
You don't need to cut out omega-6 foods altogether, but should try to reduce your intake of certain sources.
Most people get an abundance of omega-6 fats from seed oils like soy, corn, canola, sunflower, and grape seed. These oils are very commonly found in fast foods, restaurant meals, and packaged baked goods. Eating less packaged food and cooking more meals at home with olive or coconut oil is a good way to reduce your omega-6 intake.
We mentioned earlier that a very high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids could cause inflammation.
Most Americans should increase their omega-3 intake, which can have anti-inflammatory actions in the body.
Good sources of omega-3s include salmon, mackerel, herring, and albacore tuna. Most diet plans suggest you eat at least two servings of omega-3-rich fish per week.
Dark red or purple fruits like cherries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries contain chemicals called anthocyanins.
Lab tests link anthocyanins to reduced inflammation, although scientists aren't exactly sure how.
Whole grains may help to lower levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation associated with heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Most vegetables are a good choice for an anti-inflammatory diet. But broccoli may be especially helpful in preventing or reducing symptoms of arthritis.
The leafy green is a good source of an antioxidant called sulforaphane, which seems to reduce inflammation and protect cartilage.
Sulforaphane is also being studied for its potential to prevent cancer and treat conditions like sickle cell disease.
You'll want to eat your broccoli raw (the sprouts are an especially good source) to maximize sulforaphane intake.
Even with a careful diet, most people with inflammation and arthritis pain use medication to help manage their symptoms. Prescription drugs can make life with arthritis easier, but taking them on a daily basis quickly adds up to hundreds or thousands of dollars each year. CanadaPharmacyDepot.com carries popular arthritis medication like Celebrex and other anti-inflammatory drugs, offering significant discounts compared to traditional pharmacies.

Fort Lauderdale-based law firm Becker, which has a robust lobbying presence in Tallahassee, will announce Tuesday that Mike Grissom is joining its capital city office.
Grissom comes to the firm from Enterprise Florida, where he served as executive vice president and, briefly, as interim president and CEO following Pete Antonacci's appointment as Broward County Supervisor of Elections.
While Grissom's pre-EFI resume includes stints as the senior director of political affairs at the Florida Chamber of Commerce and as executive director of the Republican Party of Florida, it was his time at the public-private partnership that caught the attention of his new employer.

Equitable Estoppel is a defensive doctrine preventing one party from taking unfair advantage of another when, through false language or conduct, the person to be estopped has induced another person to act in a certain way, which resulted in the other person being injured in some way.
If a party leads another party to believe that they will not enforce their strict legal rights, then the Courts will prevent them from doing so at a later stage.
Central London Property Trust Ltd v High Trees House Ltd  KB 130 (or the High Trees case) is an English contract law decision in the High Court. It reaffirmed and extended the doctrine of promissory estoppel in contract law in England and Wales.

"Gamers aren't overcharged, they're undercharged," says Wall Street analyst
By Sherif Saed, Tuesday, 21 November 2017 10:06 GMT
In the wake of Star Wars: Battlefront 2's bungled microtransactions implementation, one analyst has adopted a controversial stance.
Evan Wingren, a financial analyst for KeyBanc Capital Markets, has said in a note to investors that the negative reaction microtransactions in $60 games, such as in the recent case of Star Wars: Battlefront 2, is "an opportunity to add to" game publishers, despite the "transitory risk" that comes from EA's decision to temporarily remove microtransactions.
"Gamers aren't overcharged, they're undercharged (and we're gamers). … This saga has been a perfect storm for overreaction as it involves EA, Star Wars, Reddit, and certain purist gaming journalists/outlets who dislike microtransactions," said Wingren (via CNBC).
According to him, the cost per hour for a video game is still much lower than TV, and movies. This is even taking into account paying $20 per month for loot crates on top of the $60 admission price. Assuming the player in question plays the game for around two-and-a-half hours per day for a year, it comes out to 40 cents per hour, compared to 60 cents for television, and 80 cent for a movie rental.
"Quantitative analysis shows that video game publishers are actually charging gamers at a relatively inexpensive rate, and should probably raise prices," he added.
With that said, the analyst predicted that Battlefront 2 may not hit its 13 million sales forecast, as a result of this controversy.
"Despite its inconvenience to the popular press narrative, if you like Star Wars and play video games at an average rate, you're far better off skipping the movie and playing the game to get the most bang for your buck."

'80s Beauty Is Back, and It's Taking Over the Runway at Couture Week
True Identity
Cindy Crawford's signature hairstyle has carried her through her entire career. Discovering your own may be more about soul-searching than scissors.
*Most of us are hair hussies, flitting from cut to cut and never settling down with Hairstyle Right. We crimp and iron, chop and feather, perm and thermal, channeling Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, or some other hair goddess of the moment. *
But there are those among us who lock on to a look that can go the distance. With a little good fortune (or instinct, or very good advice), a woman stumbles on a haircut that transcends the realm of the fashionable, and she sticks with it. She may have a fling with another look or two, but she always finds her way back home. Over time, her signature style becomes a reflection of her identity—even as much a part of her as the way she smiles.
Pinpointing exactly which individual look will endure is almost as difficult as telling a woman how to pick a lifelong mate, say the experts. But some enchanted afternoon, across a crowded salon, you might find yourself locking eyes in the mirror with a haircut that turns out to be The One.
THE ZEN OF SIGNATURE HAIR
A hairstyle can be a statement—of sensuality, devil-may-care attitude, no-nonsense professionalism, or even one's values. (The Ukrainian politician Yulia Tymoshenko has made a potent symbol of the golden braid wrapped around her head, invoking regional tradition and the halos in Russian Orthodox and other Christian iconography.) But experts become a bit mystical when describing how to go about finding a signature style. "A hairdresser may recommend it, or someone else might say it looks pretty," says hairstylist Orlando Pita, owner of the Orlo Salon in New York City, "but by the time you realize, 'This is my look,' something else is guiding it." In other words, you just know. "You have to feel good inside your own skin," says hairstylist Julien d'Ys, the man who gave Linda Evangelista the power pixie that launched her into supermodel-dom. Signature hair has a made-for-each-other fit.
Nonetheless, every lifelong look starts out when someone tries a new style. And the odds of it standing the test of time diminish with the number of people who are consulted beforehand, says hairstylist Serge Normant of the Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon in New York City. "When there are too many cooks in the kitchen, the cake doesn't taste good," he explains. "You can't please everybody." If you need feedback on your plans before that fateful appointment, "ask the one person you trust"—probably your best friend.
THINK NATURAL STYLES (OR AT LEAST EASY ONES)
For a hairstyle to feel like an extension of one's self, it can't be something that needs constant wrangling because the style is a hassle for one's hair type, or because it's just too fussy. The bob, for instance, becomes the obvious choice "for people with fine hair that doesn't grow beyond the chin," says hairstylist Danilo. Women with waves and curls might adopt a signature look that glorifies them (like Sarah Jessica Parker's Greek-goddess ringlets or Andie MacDowell's corkscrews). "It's a matter of embracing," according to Normant—who says his own signature is his bald pate. "It's about taking what you have and turning it into something positive."
The exception: women who discover they have an affinity for a complicated style, but can execute it reliably and quickly. (It's hard to imagine Ivana Trump abandoning her froufrou updo for something a little more wash-and-wear.) "I know women who love a worked-on, va-va-va-voom big-hair look, with hot rollers," Pita says. "They've done it their whole lives, and they've got it down, boom!"
SO IT FOLLOWS, BOBS AND SHAGS ARE FREQUENTLY FOUND TO BE SIGNATURE STYLES
Because they work well on women with anything but ultracurly hair, bobs and shags have become to haircuts what the Cartier Tank is to watches. At the same time, the cuts are easy to customize to individual faces. You can have either style and still not look like everyone else.
The short-on-top, cascading-sides-and-back shag—popularized in the '70s by Farrah Fawcett and Jane Fonda— "is such a versatile look," says hairstylist Sally Hershberger, owner of the Sally Hershberger Downtown Salon in New York City. "I love the sexiness of the movement." Beyond the sexiness factor, the top-and-side proportions can be adjusted to flatter features or the shape of the face—thus making it adaptable to an astonishing number of women. It also looks OK "even when it's undone." As for having legs, it segues well into middle age and beyond, she says: Jane Fonda still has one, as does '60s and '70s sexpot Raquel Welch.
The bob with full or partial bangs "makes you feel secure, because it frames the face and you can dress it up or down," Normant says. (The bob was the most common signature look he saw growing up in France.) Hairstylist Garren, owner of the Garren New York salon in New York City, says he does "three versions of the Louise Brooks bob—one just below the chin, one just below the ears, and a longer one to the collarbone." It is, he says, a style with sophistication linked to an entire sensibility: "I have clients who have worn their hair that way their whole lives, and whose living room is something like red lacquer. Everything else in their lives is dramatic and slick and modern; that's why their hair is like that."
IF THESE STYLES DON'T SUIT YOU, KEEP LOOKING
Of course, some women march to a different coiffeur—and that's as it should be. "The person who has a signature hairstyle isn't worried about looking outdated or boring," says Pita.
A crucial point, he says, is that there are times to ignore conventional wisdom. He has a close friend "who has snow-white skin and always wears bright red lipstick and has long, stick-straight, unlayered hair that goes down to the small of her back, that she doesn't ever blow-dry. It's probably hard to imagine that it doesn't look freaky or goth or severe. But very severe things tend to look right on her." The woman had her hair cut into a pixie years ago, but "she knew right away" it was a mistake, he says. She grew it back, and she plans to keep it like that, according to Pita: "She says that if she feels it gets to be too much as she gets older, she'll do a long braid down her back." (Hey, it worked for Georgia O'Keeffe.) If she wasn't bold, she never would have adopted a look that, in fact, suits her beautifully.
Nothing is more memorable than a haircut that few other people have (or that many other people have, but few look good in). "Sarah Jessica can go out and just wash her hair, because she's already established that as her signature," Garren says. People expect her to look a certain way, they love her that way, and they're not disappointed.
A head of gorgeous gray hair is so rare that it's an automatic signature. (Julie Christie in Away From Her is one example.) So is very short hair that works (like Audrey Tautou's or Agyness Deyn's sleek cap). Pita gives his vote to Sharon Stone's pixie: "It can be demure, it can be kooky, and when she wears an evening dress, it doesn't look matronly...and it reflects that she's the kind of girl who does what she wants."
In general, however, you won't find many celebrities with true signatures. Movie stars like Jean Harlow, Rita Hayworth, and Marilyn Monroe had iconic hair that barely varied throughout their careers. But we now live in an age in which celebrities reinvent themselves for every new movie and music video.
Julien d'Ys points a finger at the popularity of hair extensions—which he considers a "vulgarity," but which certainly allow women to be chameleons. The current emphasis on extreme youth also makes it more difficult for celebrities even to have the time to develop a signature look. "You're not going to find iconic ones in this generation until they find out who they are," Garren says.
AND THEN EVOLVE
A style needn't be frozen in time. "You can evolve within the look without changing it," Normant says. For instance, you can keep the same style but experiment with color. Bangs can be lopped and parts adjusted. Ends can go from choppy to blunt and back again. Layers can be added or subtracted.
Most hairstylists suggest that women take occasional second looks at even the best-loved signature styles. "I think it's a good thing to at least reconsider once you get to your 40s," Pita says—although he hastens to add that he knows plenty of women who can successfully keep the styles that worked in their 20s. "The trick is just not to let it get outdated," Garren says. For instance, "if you had long hair that was pressed with an iron, you can still wear it straight, but with a softer look."
There are even subtler ways to change while remaining the same, says Garren. For instance, look at Audrey Hepburn. Her hair was sometimes in an updo (Breakfast at Tiffany's) and sometimes in a pixie (Sabrina), but she always had bangs, and the rest of her hair was pulled back from her face and styled in a way that left her neck clean. Regardless of its length, her hair always looked similar from the front.
In the end, says Danilo, "you grow your hair to cut it and you cut it to grow it...and hopefully you'll find something beautiful along the way."
There's Now a True Crime-Themed Brand Called "Makeup a Murder," and I'm Dead

Some of the happiest people in the world are those who have a close-knit community. Caring about, and being connected to, others can translate to a happier, healthier life.
In the documentary "Happy," a filmmaker travels the world looking for what is making people live longer, healthier, happier lives. It becomes clear throughout the film, that one of the common threads of the happiest and healthiest people around the world is a sense of community.
In Okinawa, Japan, for example, the filmmaker encounters residents in their nineties, that still have the energy to dance and sing.
One of the main findings of "Happy" is that happiness comes from a sense of connectedness with something bigger than oneself—whether it be family, community, religion, nature, ancestry, or the universe. This connectedness acts as a tether, keeping us from the feeling that we are out there floating alone—tying us to a cause, a community, a larger sense of why we are here and how we fit into the world.
In addition to connecting to others, helping those that are less fortunate than yourself can make you a healthier, happier person. This mentalfloss article breaks down seven scientific benefits of helping others: extending your lifespan, causing a chain reaction of altruistic acts, heightening your sense of well-being, helping ease chronic pain, lowering your blood pressure, improving your grades and self-image, and giving you a sense of purpose and satisfaction.
The mission of the SF LGBT Center is to connect our diverse community to opportunities, resources, and each other to achieve our vision of a stronger, healthier, and more equitable world for LGBTQ people and our allies.
The SF LGBT Center is a place where you can find community and connection. Whether attending an art gallery opening, participating in a workshop, marching with us at the Pride Parade, donating, or volunteering, being a part of the SF LGBT Center can connect you to others in the San Francisco LGBTQ community. After opening its doors in 2002, the Center has established itself as a cornerstone of the LGBTQ community. In fact, the SF LGBT Center is the only nonprofit in San Francisco serving all members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
From Youth Services to Economic Development to Community Programs, we invite you to explore the SF LGBT Center and join us as we help create, celebrate, and strengthen the SF LGBTQ community.

Q: What is the geometric interpretation of this system of planes? $x-2y+z=-1$, $2x+y-3z=3$, $x+8y-9z=9$ What is the geometric interpretation (coincidence/parallel/intersection) of the plane equations
\begin{alignat*}{5}
x - 2y + \phantom{0} z\; & =-1\\
2x + \phantom{0} y - 3z\; & =\phantom{-}3\\
x +  8y - 9z\; & =\phantom{-}9
\end{alignat*}

A: Each equation is a plane in $\mathbb{R}^3$. A vector orthogonal to the plane is given by the equation coefficients, e.g. $(1, -2, 1)$ for the first equation.
Two planes are parallel iff their orthogonal vectors are colinear. This is not the case here.
Three planes are in general position (i.e. their intersection is a point) iff their orthogonal vectors form a base of $\mathbb{R}^3$. This can be checked by computing the determinant of the matrix of the 3 vectors. I.e. here
$\begin{pmatrix}
1 & -2 & 1 \\
2 & 1 & -3 \\
1 & 8 & -9
\end{pmatrix}$
Determinant is 0 (and not 18 as I wrongly calcuted by head) so intersections of the planes two by two are 3 parallel lines. As there is a solution $(0, 0, -1)$, the 3 lines are the same.
When two planes are not parallel, their intersection is a line, and you can compute a director vector of this line by the product of two orthogonal vectors of the planes.
Another way of checking that the intersections of the planes are parallel lines, is to compute 2 of the 3 director vectors this way, and to check that they are colinear. For the 2 first planes we find $(5, 5, 5)$, for the 2nd and 3rd planes we find $(15, 15, 15)$. They are colinear.

A: Three planes can either intersect in a single point, or have no point in common, or have infinite points in common. You planes do not have a common point, but none of two planes are parallel. So we have the situation of any two planes that have a common line as an intersection. There are three such lines and they are parallel.


Yellow is a positive and enthusiastic color. It awakens the spirit and evokes a positive attitude. In color psychology, yellow is correlated with joy, energy, happiness, and warmth. That's why using it in your interior decorating plan will brighten your home environment and add a cheerful touch.
Yellow comes in so many choices: Some variations are so light and airy, they can actually become neutrals, and others are super-saturated, so they create a bold, warm feel. Each yellow hue is more luscious and vibrant than the next, from marigold, canary, mustard and flax to banana, goldenrod, butter yellow and saffron.
Yellow goes with almost any style of décor and plays well with a variety of colors. Pair it with a black and white decorating plan, with brown and cream, or with a soft gray palette. Yellow also looks beautiful with most any shade of red, green, and blue!

The best way to understand Bazin's film theory is to pay attention to art, science, and religion, since spectatorship depends on perception, cognition, and hallucination. By arguing that this dissident Catholic's worldview is anti-anthropocentric, Angela Dalle Vacche concludes that cinema recapitulates the history of evolution and technology inside our consciousness, so that we may better understand how we overlap with, but also differ from, animals, plants, objects, and machines. Whereas in "Art," the author explains the difference between painting as a static object and the moving image as an event unfolding in time, in "Science," she discusses Bazin's dislike of classical geometry and Platonic algebra, his fascination with biology and modern calculus to underline his holistic Darwinism, and his anti-Euclidean mathematics of motion and contingency. Comparable to a religious practice, Bazin's cinema is the only collective ritual of the twentieth century capable of fostering an emotional community by calling on critical self-interrogation and ethical awareness. Especially keen on Italian neorealism, Bazin argues that this sensibility thrives on beings and things displacing themselves in such a way as to turn the Other into a Neighbor. Bazin's film theory acknowledges the equalizing impact of the camera lens, which is analogous to, but also different from, the human eye. In the cinema, two different kinds of eyes coexist: one is mechanical and objective, the other is human and subjective. By refusing to reshape the world according to an a priori thesis, Bazin's idea of an anti-anthropocentric cinema seeks surprise, dialogue, risk, and experiment.Less

The islands of Ireland are shaped by their relationships with land and sea. This book is a study of the various and changing ways in which literature has drawn the coast in lines that shape the contours of cultural experience. The literary and historical study of the sea has swelled in the last decade, as has an interest in the littoral and the archipelagic. Beginning with the early works of William Butler Yeats, this book travels through the diverse hydroscapes of Irish literature from the late nineteenth century to the present, framing writers and artists from James Joyce to Anne Enright in liquid, and maritime contexts. In doing so it suggests new planetary frames through which to read literature's relationships with the sea and its margins. With readings of contemporary writers, including Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Kevin Barry, Seamus Heaney, Sinead Morrissey, and John Banville, and literary magazines, including The Bell, Atlantis, and Archipelago, this book is the first sustained study of Irish coastal literature.Less

This book tells for the first time the story of the central relationship of novelist Willa Cather's life, her nearly forty-year partnership with Edith Lewis. Cather has been described as a distinguished artist who turned her back on the crass commercialism of the early twentieth century and as a deeply private woman who strove to hide her sexuality, and Lewis has often been identified as her secretary. However, Lewis was a successful professional woman who edited popular magazines and wrote advertising copy at a major advertising agency and who, behind the scenes, edited Cather's fiction. Recognizing Lewis's role in Cather's creative process changes how we understand Cather as an artist, while recovering their domestic partnership (which they did not seek to hide) provides a fresh perspective on lesbian life in the early twentieth century. Homestead reconstructs Cather and Lewis's life together in Greenwich Village and on Park Avenue, their travels to the American Southwest that formed the basis of Cather's novels The Professor's House and Death Comes for the Archbishop, their summers as part of an all-woman resort community on Grand Manan Island, and Lewis's magazine and advertising work as a context for her editorial collaboration with Cather. Homestead tells a human story of two women who chose to live in partnership and also explains how the Cold War panic over homosexuality caused biographers and critics to make Lewis and her central role in Cather's life vanish even as she lived on alone for twenty-five years after her partner's death.Less

Poetry in Dialogue in the Duecento and Dante provides a new perspective on the highly networked literary landscape of thirteenth and fourteenth-century Italy. It demonstrates the fundamental role of dialogue between and within texts in the works of four poets who represent some of the major developments in early Italian literature: Guittone d'Arezzo, Guido Guinizzelli, Guido Cavalcanti, and Dante. Rather than reading the cultural landscape through the lens of Dante's works, significant though they may be, the first part of this study reconstructs the rich network of literary, especially poetic dialogue that was at the heart of medieval writing in Italy before and contemporary with Dante. The second part of the book uses this reconstruction to demonstrated Dante's engagement with and indebtedness to the dynamics of exchange that characterized the practice of medieval Italian poets. The overall argument of the book, for the centrality of dialogic processes to the emerging Italian literary tradition, is underpinned by a conceptualization of dialogue in relation to medieval and modern literary theory and philosophy of language. By triangulating between Brunetto Latini's Rettorica, Mikhail Bakhtin's 'dialogism', and as sense of 'performative' speech adapted from J. L. Austin, Poetry in Dialogue shows the openness of its corpus to new dialogues and interpretations, highlighting the instabilities of even the most apparently fixed, monumental texts (such as Dante's Commedia).Less

Poetry in the Making investigates the compositional practices of Victorian poets, as made evident in the autograph manuscripts of their poems. Written in an accessible and stimulating style, the book offers careful readings of individual drafts, paying attention to the revisions, cancellations, interlineations, trials of rhyme and form, and sometimes the large structural changes that these documents reveal. The book shows how manuscript revisions offer insights into the creative priorities and decisions of major Victorian poets (Wordsworth, Tennyson, the Brownings, Clough, Hopkins, Christina Rossetti, Swinburne, and Yeats); and investigates ideas of composition in the period, particularly the uneasy balance between inspiration and labour. Collectively, the chapters develop a survey of how Victorian poets experienced and understood their own creativity, setting abstract claims about inspiration and craftsmanship against their own practical experiences. The book testifies to the value for criticism of poetic drafts, establishing the significance of revision and of manuscript studies for the field of Victorian poetry and for literary scholarship more generally.Less

The book shows how manuscript revisions offer insights into the creative priorities and decisions of major Victorian poets (Wordsworth, Tennyson, the Brownings, Clough, Hopkins, Christina Rossetti, Swinburne, and Yeats); and investigates ideas of composition in the period, particularly the uneasy balance between inspiration and labour. Collectively, the chapters develop a survey of how Victorian poets experienced and understood their own creativity, setting abstract claims about inspiration and craftsmanship against their own practical experiences. The book testifies to the value for criticism of poetic drafts, establishing the significance of revision and of manuscript studies for the field of Victorian poetry and for literary scholarship more generally.

Style has often been understood both too broadly and too narrowly. In consequence, it has not defined a psychologically coherent area of study. In the opening chapter, Hogan first defines style so as to make possible a systematic theoretical account through cognitive and affective science. This definition stresses that style varies by both scope and level—thus, the range of text or texts that may share a style (from a single passage to an historical period) and the components of a work that might involve a shared style (including story, narration, and verbalization). Hogan illustrates the main points of this chapter by reference to several works, prominently Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. Subsequent chapters in the first part focus on under-researched aspects of literary style. The second chapter explores the level of story construction for the scope of an authorial canon, treating Shakespeare. The third turns to verbal narration in a single work, Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. Part two, on film style, begins with another theoretical chapter. It turns, in chapter five, to the perceptual interface in the genre of "painterly" films, examining works by Rodriguez, Mehta, Rohmer, and Husain. The sixth chapter treats the level of plot in the postwar films of Ozu. The remaining film chapter turns to visual narration in a single work, Lu's Nanjing! Nanjing! The third part addresses theoretical and interpretive issues bearing on style in graphic fiction, with a focus on Spiegelman's Maus. An Afterword touches briefly on implications of stylistic analysis for political critique.Less

Transgression and Redemption in American Fiction

This book considers modern American fiction in its own Italianate coloration: the interplay of sex (the red of passion), violence (the black of violence), and sanctity (the gold of redemption). Its purpose is to involve readers in the mythopoetics of American narrative, long-lived and well overdue, in which Marian Catholicism is seen as integral to apprehending the nexus among eros, grace, and sacrifice in U.S. self-making—especially for Protestants! It starts with Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, the primary instigator, as well as with Frederic's ingenious retelling, The Damnation of Theron Ware, a second persisting prism. Sustained revisionist accounts of five major novels and several stories follow, including Chopin's The Awakening, James' The Wings of the Dove, Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Cather's The Professor's House, and Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. Each novel is recalled as a melodrama of beset sexuality and revealed as a martyr tale of forbidden love—successive, self-aware courtings of devotional Catholicism that the critical and teaching establishment has found too mysterious and dangerous to recognize, never mind sanction. In counterpoint, the book illuminates each tale in its own terms, which are often surprising yet almost always common-sensical; it identifies the special senses—beauty, courage, and wisdom—that emerge, often in the face of social terror and moral darkness, under Marian-Catholic pedagogy; and it yields an overview of the mainline of the modern American novel in which sexual transgression (including betrayal) and graced redemption (the sanctification of passion, mediated confession, martyring sacrifice) go hand in hand, syncretically.Less

V.S. Naipaul, Caribbean Writing, and Caribbean Thought

This book presents a new portrait of V.S. Naipaul, one of the twentieth-century's most controversial writers about colonialism and its aftermath, by looking at his relationship with the Caribbean, the region of his birth. It argues that whilst Naipaul presented himself as a global public intellectual—a citizen of nowhere—his writing and thought was shaped by his Caribbean intellectual formation, and his investment in Caribbean political debates. Focusing on three key forms of Caribbean writing—the novel, the historical narrative, and the travel narrative—it shows how the generic, stylistic, and formal choices of writers had great political significance. Telling the story of his creative and intellectual development at three crucial points in Naipaul's career, it offers a new intellectual biography of its principal subject. By showing Naipaul's crucial place in the history of Caribbean ideas, it also provides new perspectives on a number of major writers and thinkers from the region, including C.L.R. James, Eric Williams, Kamau Brathwaite, Sylvia Wynter, George Lamming, Derek Walcott, Maryse Condé, and David Scott.Less

Victorian Visions of Suburban Utopia: Abandoning Babylon

The rise of suburbs and disinvestment from cities have been defining features of life in many countries over the course of the twentieth century, especially English-speaking ones. The separation of different aspects of life, such as living and working, and the diffusion of the population in far-flung garden homes have necessitated an enormous consumption of natural lands and the constant use of mechanized transportation. Why did we abandon our dense, complex urban places and seek to find "the best of the city and the country" in the flowery suburbs? A large missing piece in this story is found in Victorian utopian literature. The replacement of cities with high-tech suburbs was repeatedly imagined and breathlessly described in the socialist dreams and science-fiction fantasies of dozens of British and American authors in the nineteenth century. Some of these visionaries—such as Robert Owen, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Edward Bellamy, William Morris, Ebenezer Howard, and H. G. Wells—are enduringly famous, while others were street vendors or amateur chemists who have been all but forgotten. Together, they fashioned strange and beautiful imaginary worlds built of synthetic gemstones, lacy metal colonnades, and unbreakable glass, staffed by robotic servants and teeming with flying carriages. As different as their futuristic visions could be in their politics or narrative qualities, most were unified by a single, desperate plea: for humanity to have a future worth living, we must abandon our smoky, poor, chaotic Babylonian cities for a life in shimmering gardens.Less

Nigeria may not re-open West African borders on Friday
By Editorial January 27, 2020 319 views
By John Eche
Despite calls for it to re-open its land borders with fellow West and Central African neighbours, indications are that Nigeria may continue to keep the lid on the entry and exit points until much later in the year, The Difference checks have disclosed.
The West African country which is the continent's biggest economy by GDP count, had shut its land borders with its neighbours since August 2019, to particularly respond to what it called the widespread smuggling of rice into the country at the detriment of efforts to ramp up local production of the staple.
It has also since then accused its neighbours of being willing tools for smugglers of drugs and weapons into its space.
Delegations from ECOWAS, Ghana, Benin Republic have urged the Nigerian authorities to reopen the borders but the country has stuck to its grounds saying that the borders would remain shut until at the least, Friday, January 31st.
However, The Difference checks reveal that no plans have presently been put in place to see to the opening of the corridors this Friday. And underscoring this point is the fact that when the issue came up on the sidelines of the recent British-Africa Economic Summit held in London, President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria had flatly told his Ghanaian counterpart that Nigeria's neighbours were yet to comply with the conditions set for the re-opening of the borders.
Market watchers say that should the situation persist, the continuing run of economic losses being suffered by traders, business player and communities on all sides would not only continue, it would also still have an even more chilling effect on efforts to boost intra-regional trade in the sub-region and continent through noble initiatives as the Economic Commission of West African States and the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, AfCFTA.
