Q: How to interrupt high voltage spikes I am trying to design an RPM limiter for my CDI operated 2 stroke engine (Tomos A35). Some people reported that just connecting a capacitor to the primary coil also limits the RPM, but will eventually break your ignition coil. That is why I came up with the following solution:

Here is the same circuit drawn in EAGLE:

The flywheel has magnets and rotates, thereby inducing a charge in the ignition coil. This creates periodic voltage spikes which are sent to the CDI (which has been drawn a bit simplified here). In the original situation, the points IN and OUT are one. In the new situation I want to use a thyristor to either block this voltage spike or pass it. To do so, I need to count the amount of voltage spikes per time unit.
On the bottom I use an opamp (that can take up to 32V on its inputs) as a comparator to protect the arduino. The range of IN at which the opamp triggers without blowing up is now 47 to 603 volts, which should be fine I think. With this circuit, I should be able to count the amount of voltage spikes per second.
The trigger voltage of the TIC126D is max 1.5V I read from the datasheet, so it can be operated from the arduino without further ado.
I am, however, a bit fuzzy on how to select all of these resistor values. So I am asking you for help on that. The values that are there now are based on examples I found on the internet. Also, general tips about the design are very welcome.
EDIT 11/02/2020, 13:45
As DKNguyen pointed out, I am indeed using the thyristor as if it were an NMOS transistor. I could use the thyristor to interrupt the ground wire coming out of the CDI, but this would turn the two coils in there into two inductors (the coils have a common ground that is inside the CDI, there's just nothing I can do about this). Also, I added a PNP transistor to protect the Arduino from drawing too much current.

A: The gate trigger voltage is 1.5V but there is also a gate trigger current which is 20mA. 5V through 47K is nowhere near 20mA.
Another thing...wouldn't it be better for your coil primary to be above the thyristor (so that the coil primary is connected to the thyristor collector)? The way you have it with the coil primary connected to the emitter of the thyristor, if it was a NPN or NMOS transistor, this would be a like a source/emitter follower where as the transistor conducts, the more the transistor conducts, the more current flows through the emitter/source-connected load, which makes the emitter/source voltage rises thereby reducing the Vgs or Vbe voltage required to keep the transistor on causing it to not be able to fully turn on.
Vgs/Vbe is reduced because you are applying a base/gate voltage relative to GND which does not change while the emitter/source voltage rises due to current flowing through the load. But the transistor only cares about the difference between the two terminals.
Note:

*

*NPN Collector = NMOS  drain = SCR anode

*NPN Emitter = NMOS source = SCR cathode

*NPN Base = NMOS gate = SCR gate

It might not matter in this case since the thyristor stays on once turned on, but
I think this could be a problem if the coil voltage rises fast enough such that the cathode voltage rises high enough to reduce the gate-cathode voltage difference below the switching threshold before the holding current has been exceeded (which is required to latch the thyristor in an conducting state, after which it won't matter what voltage difference between the gate and cathode are anymore).

I'm rather paranoid and your circuit has two areas I don't like:

*

*the op-amp input

*the MCU pin

Both are exposed rather unprotected to high voltages if something goes awry.
I would put a TVS diode or rail clamp diode between the pin and the resistor. This will clamp the voltage by shorting it to GND (for a TVS diode) or the power rail (for a rail clamp diode) while the resistor limits the current so the component does not fry.
You could also put a TVS diode or rail clamp diodes to protect your op-amp...just in case. Unlike the divider which steps down the voltage a certain amount, the clamps will kick in if the voltage somehow gets high enough that it is still damaging even after being stepped down.
This is a unidirectional circuit so you would take a unidirectional TVS diode and place it pointing from GND to the pin to be protected. Similar to what you might do with a zener. A bidirectional TVS works too for clamping positive spikes, but unidirectional TVS is better because it forward conduct to clamp negative spikes which means it will clamp closer to GND for negative spikes. The bidirectional one will clamp at the same distance away from GND in either direction.
For a positive rail-clamp diode you would take a diode designed to work in forward conduction (i.e. not a zener or TVS) and place it so it points from the pin to be protected to the +5V rail. This will not let the voltage there exceed \$5V+V_d\$.
You can do the same to GND to also clamp negative voltages from falling below \$0-V_d\$. This negative rail clamp diode is the exact same as a unidirectional TVS forward conducting to clamp negative voltages just described above.

Bádišáhova mešita je sakrální muslimská stavba ve městě Láhaur, hlavním městě státu Pandžáb v Pákistánu. Postavená byla mughalským císařem Aurangzébem, mezi léty 1671-1673. Spolu s Tádž Mahálem je Bádišáhova mešita nejvýraznějším reprezentantem tzv. mughalské architektury. Po svém postavení byla největší mešitou na světě (v letech 1673-1986), dnes je druhou největší mešitou v Pákistánu a pátou na světě. Po pádu Mughalské říše byla Sikhskou říší (1799–1849) i britskou koloniální správou využívána jako kasárna. Protože toto užívání bývalé mešity budilo mezi muslimy nevoli, rozhodli se Britové roku 1851 k rekonstrukci mešity a obnově její sakrální funkce. Další úpravy začaly v roce 1939, podle návrhů architekta Nawab Alam Yar Jung Bahadura, dokončeny byly až v roce 1960, již v časech pákistánského státu. Nacionální význam místa je posílen tím, že blízko vchodu do mešity je pohřben národní básník a otec myšlenky nezávislé muslimské Indie Muhammad Iqbal.

CHICAGO (CBS) — One person is in critical condition after a being hit by a stolen car in Lincoln Park.
It all started with a chain of carjackings that led to a police chase through busy North Side neighborhoods.
CBS 2's Audrina Bigos has the story from Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
Cell phone video shows the high-speed chase going south on Halsted towards Fullerton. Chicago Police chasing a white SUV in Lincoln Park.
The man who shot the video asked CBS 2 to blur his face.
Kate Engelman's car was nearly hit.
She watched as the SUV continued to the intersection where Fullerton, Halsted and Lincoln converge.
"I started running to the intersection cause I wanted to help then my senses came over me and I realized I couldn't do anything," said Engelman.
Chicago Police say the driver wouldn't stop, driving for another three and a half miles to West North Avenue and Rockwell in Wicker Park.
Then police say the same people may have carjacked someone else at gunpoint just around the corner at Talman & Le Moyne.
"We have an idea or have some good leads on who the individuals are. We recovered two of the vehicles taken but the third vehicle is still out there," said Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson.
The third vehicle is a green Honda Accord with Wisconsin plates. Anyone with information is asked to contact Chicago Police.

A Movie about AIDS: And the Band Played ON
D and I just watched And the Band Played On. It is the story of the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, beginning in the 1970's with the first few odd cases and finishing the story in 1985, when public attention and government efforts finally came to bear on the problem. Not that the problem is anywhere near solved now, mind you. Worldwide there are more new HIV infections each year than there are AIDS patients to die. The epidemic is growing. The populations currently being infected at the highest rate in the US are young African and Hispanic women and teens.
The population initially infected was, as history still tells it, predominantly gay men. It becomes abundantly clear through the movie the degree to which our culture clash over homosexuality interfered with efforts to understand the disease. People didn't want to deal with it, because linking a disease to an already taboo behavior was at best incendiary. That the Haitians and IV drug users were next to be identified as victims did not help the disease get the attention and action that it warranted. Marginal populations do not get the same response from authorities as those with ample money and influence. Even now, the fact that the African and Hispanic populations in the US are being infected at high rates, makes me wonder to what degree public education programs have failed in populations that should not be marginal.
The mainstream media did not cover AIDS until years after the beginning of the epidemic, but gay presses had plenty to say about it. The disease was initially called GRID, gay r immunodeficiency. Clearheaded AIDS research was underfunded and reasonable public health policy lagged. A couple of CDC doctors (Don Francis and Richard Masur) were on the project early and by mapping out the partners of specific gay men discovered (but not "proven" in scientific terms) that the disease was sexually transmitted. But lacking "proof" they were unable to gain the support of gay men or public health authorities. It took a long time to implement any measures to stem the spread of the disease. Their research showed that many gay men were getting infected at bathhouses in San Fransisco, but the bathhouses were not closed until 1985.
The virus was also being transmitted by blood, because HIV positive people were donating blood and it was being given to anyone who needed blood, without any knowledge of the disease causing organism or how to test for it. By 1985 most of the hemophiliacs in the US already had AIDS, because they need a lot of transfusions. Until the mode of transmission was "proven", blood delivery companies were so unwilling to compromise profits or risk public panic. Anyone who got blood transfusions in the late 70's or early 80's was at considerable risk. By the time President Reagan made his first speech about AIDS, 75,000 Americans had already died.
The lag in developing clear health policy cost many lives. Politics and egos interfered with the greater good. One doctor in particular, the American Robert Gallo, is portrayed as being an egotist with virtually no ethics or concern for human suffering or death. Gallo had "discovered" HTLV, another retrovirus that causes leukemia in humans, and was convinced that HIV was a variant on "his" virus. Above all he wanted credit for the discovery and a patent for an HIV test. The French were first to actually photograph the virus using samples sent by CDC doctor Don Francis, who was the hero of the movie. The French saw that it was not the same as HTLV, and did the genetic testing to prove that.
Another interesting tidbit is the story of Patient Zero, a handsome gay flight attendant less known by his name Gaëtan Dugas. He remained asymptomatic for a very long time, and continued a highly active sex life around the world. It is suspected that he contributed substantially to the worldwide spread of the disease.
Many major actors played in the movie without commanding their usual pay, presumably because they wished to help get the word out to the world about AIDS. The movie came out in 1993 on HBO, and won an Emmy.
The cast included Matthew Modine, Richard Masur, Alan Alda, B.D. Wong, Glenne Headly, Swoosie Kurtz, Ian McKellen, Richard Gere, Phil Collins, Tchéky Karyo, Lily Tomlin, Steve Martin, and Anjelica Huston.

Salvador Garcia Pleaded For Return Of Karen & Then Fled When Her Body Was Found
Suspect pleads on the local news for the mother of his child to come home, then flees. The search is on for 22-year-old Salvador Garcia.
Salvador Garcia [wanted poster]
By: Michelle Sigona
WILLIAMS, CA — As a young mother growing up in Williams, California, Karen Garcia was popular and connected to her community. She was a well-known cheerleader in high school, loved by her friends, and a hard worker at a local restaurant. Although Karen blossomed around others, inside her own home, things were a little difficult. In Pursuit interviewed Karen's sister Ana Singh, who revealed, "When my mom and dad got divorced, I had to be the one who took care of the little ones, I have my younger sisters Karen, Jessica, and my baby sister — she's 12 years old. Karen was nine years younger than me."
Ana remembers in high school when Karen met a new boyfriend, Salvador Garcia. He was a football player, but he wasn't someone who would stand out in a crowd. Ana says he was quiet and reserved. Karen and Salvador didn't just have a last name, school, and football in common, but both also worked at Granzella's restaurant, a local haunt for people in Williams. Karen's friend Linda Quintero tells In Pursuit, "Karen started off the same way just like me, hostess then server. Then Sal, he worked as a busser and then moved into a maintenance man. And her mom would wash dishes in the back."
KAREN DELIVERS A BABY GIRL
Not long into their budding relationship, Karen became pregnant. At age 19, with support from Sal, she gave birth to their daughter. Karen and Sal decided to move in together into their own apartment and begin raising their family. It was a lot of new changes for Karen, but she seemed to adapt well, and many described her as a great mom.
Linda remembers the time well. "She moved into my apartment complex. I lived in the top apartment. She lived in the downstairs. It was literally like sharing a whole home together," she said. "So we got closer, and my husband, Johnny, and Sal struck up a friendship."
Having Karen such close proximity to her friend was beneficial because it gave Linda the opportunity to see what the couple's relationship was really like, but she didn't always like what she saw."One minute, they could be in each other's arms, really good embrace, loving each other, and then the next minute, it goes from being sarcastic to being mean, and then from being mean to completely ignoring each other," Linda said. She said they could go days without speaking to one another.
Although Linda had a small glimpse into Karen's personal life, other friends said Karen wasn't willing to share details about her relationship at all. One night after a work Christmas party, Linda remembers when things boiled over in front of them for the first time. It all traced back to Sal's jealously. "He started yelling at her in Spanish saying like, 'Stop Karen, you are asking for it. I told you that.' And he was slapping her open-handed. And I kept trying to tell him, you know 'stop, stop,'" she revealed. "My husband, Johnny, pulled him off. And I just kept telling Karen, 'Let's just get you in the car and let's go.'"
Gloria Romano remembers the first time her daughter told her Sal put his hands her, "She just hugged me, crying, and saying, 'He hit me.' I told her, 'Karen, you have to call the police, either you call, or I will, because we can't let this go.'"
KAREN EXITS THE RELATIONSHIP
Karen took her mother's advice and contacted the Colusa Police department. A report was formally filed, and Garcia was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence. On January 4, 2018, the relationship was over for good. Karen left Garcia, and there was no looking back. After the break-up, Karen moved in with her mom and youngest sister.
It was only days after Karen and Garcia split, when her family says Garcia began stalking her. Police say Garcia broke into the family home and was found hiding in a closet. Karen discovered him, but didn't call police. She didn't think her life was in danger, and Garcia would likely leave her alone. But Karen had no idea what was in store for her.
TRAGEDY STRIKES
Only three days after Karen returned home with her family, a terrible tragedy struck. On January 7, 2018, Karen's middle sister, Jessica, was involved in a horrific accident. She was hit and killed in a head-on wreck with a wrong-way driver. She was only 19. The death devastated every single person who knew Jessica and the family.
To try and process what was happening and get a break from everyone. Karen went over to Linda's apartment, in the same building where she used to live. She wanted to try and get her mind off what was happening at her mother's home and to put the devastation of losing her sister out of her mind, if only for a few hours. In attendance was Linda, her husband, and a friend of the husband's who was interested in Karen.
Linda remembers, "Salvador called us: 'Do you know where Karen's at? Her car's at the apartment, but she's not there.' It got to the point where he told us like, 'Fine, if you won't tell me where she's at, can you at least let her know that she needs to pick up the baby tomorrow at eight at the apartment because I work?'"
The next morning, Karen went back to the apartment to pick up her daughter. On her way in, she passed Linda's husband."My husband was downstairs checking the mail, and he said, 'Hey, Sal's in the apartment waiting for you. Are you gonna be okay?' And she said, 'Yeah. I'll be fine,'" Linda adds.
KAREN MISSES VIGIL FOR SISTER
One hour later, Karen never emerged from Sal's apartment. Her car was parked outside, but she was nowhere to be found. A worried Linda texted Karen and got an odd response. The response from Karen's phone asked Linda if she was supposed to work that day. Linda knew that was off, because Karen was always on time and knew exactly when she had to work.
Hours later, there was still no sign of Karen. What was even worse was that Karen's sister Jessica's vigil was that evening. Everyone who Karen knew she wouldn't have missed honoring her sister for anything.
But 24 hours later, Karen wasn't on anyone's radar. As for Sal Garcia, he was acting as if he was just as worried as her loved ones. Karen's sister Ana wasn't wasting any time. She contacted the police and filed a missing person's report. Ana wanted to get the ball rolling to find her sister.
Forty-eight hours after Karen was last seen, her loved ones began searching for her. During the search, Garcia went on the local news and pleaded for answers about the disappearance of his daughter's mother. What was odd about his appearance, and noticed by many, was Garcia was talking about Karen in the past tense.
William Police Department Detective Chris Miller knew he had a lot of work to do in the case. Miller said he brought Garcia in for questioning, but he didn't get far in the process. "We did see that there was a domestic-violence incident involving Karen and Sal from back in the end of December. So, we brought Sal in for an interview here at the police department in Williams on the 12thof January," Miller said. "He ended the interview abruptly just after beginning, and did not want to provide any further statement to the investigators. That was suspicious to us, because just a couple of days before, he was pleading for her safe return."
SEARCH WARRANT EXECUTED
Police knew something had happened to Karen and they were in the process of executing a search warrant at her former residence, the apartment she used to share with Sal. When investigators gained access, they found evidence of a murder.
"We got to a back bedroom and we found a substantial amount of blood. Someone losing that much blood would most likely have been deceased from the injuries. Also, there was evidence that showed someone had appeared to have been dragged from within the apartment out to the back," Miller said.
At this point it was clear to authorities that Karen was likely a homicide victim.
Only five days after Karen vanished, although Garcia wasn't cooperating with police, he organized a car-tagging flyer event. He was out plastering Karen's name all over vehicles in the Williams area. Karen's good friend Angela Castanon was helping in an area 20 miles away the very next day, when she found the biggest clue — one cracking the case wide open.
KAREN'S CAR SPOTTED
Angela said she spotted Karen's car in the Woodland parking lot. "I had the flyer in my hand with the license plate. As I got closer, I started reading the license plate numbers. That's how I knew for sure it was hers. My heart dropped. I went up to the car and her body was in there, and I pounded on the window. She didn't move. She was in the passenger's seat, looked like she was thrown in there. Her face was down towards the back." Angela said she also noticed Karen's cell phone in the vehicle with a bloody fingerprint.
Karen's sister Ana, who now realizes her family lost two sisters in one week to two separate horrific events, said, "I was like, 'No way, this cannot be happening again. I just lost a sister, I can't be – I can't be losing my other sister."
Detective Miller confirms Karen died from multiple blunt-force injuries to her head. Gloria said this about her daughter: "She didn't deserve to die like that, beaten to death, like if he had killed – an animal. She was a good girl, she didn't deserve a death like the one that he brought on her."
WARRANT ISSUED FOR GARCIA
Within one week, investigators knew exactly who had likely had a hand in her disappearance and death. On January 14, 2018, authorities issued a warrant for Garcia's arrest. They went to pick him up, but found out Garcia skipped town only 24 hours before. Right now, the U.S Marshals are on the hunt to find Garcia.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Ryan Burrows tells In Pursuit, "Sal may have obtained a new identity, and he may be out trying to work cash jobs. Will he kill again? You know, the fear of going to prison, going to jail, the fear of that alone may have created a mindset of, 'I've crossed that line already, so I'm going out big.'"
Karen leaves behind a loving family and a young child. "The baby is two years old. And sometimes when she's sleeping, sometimes she just wakes up crying, yelling for Mommy. It is very devastating," Ana says. "My sister Karen was buried young, and she didn't deserve this. There are some days that I wake up and I just want to see her and give her a hug." She adds Garcia will "definitely" pay for what he's done to their family.
In October 2018, according to Fox 40, investigators discovered the van that Garcia likely fled in, in a small town near Tijuana, Mexico.

Q: In-App Purchase Error Code 0 I'm trying to troubleshoot why I'm getting "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" with error code 0.
I know my app identifier is fine because I retrieve product information on app launch and log the results and I get the correct product identifiers and prices from iTunes. When I change my app identifier to something stupid this fails.
I know my product identifiers are fine as well for the above reasons (it wouldn't work otherwise and I double checked).
I have tried firing the purchase by creating an SKPayment in 2 different ways:
FIRST WAY
SKPayment *payment = [SKPayment paymentWithProductIdentifier:productIdentifier]; // This is deprecated in ios 5 but should work
[[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addPayment:payment];

SECOND WAY
SKPayment *payment = [SKPayment paymentWithProduct:foundProduct];
[[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addPayment:payment];

(foundProduct is from the array of SKProducts that get returned from an SKProductsRequest)
Both ways fail with error code 0.
I've tried this both on my iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1 and in Simulator on iOS 5.
I've read that hard resets work (2359739) which seems insane, but I went ahead and tried it in Simulator (iOS Simulator => Reset Content and Settings...) to no avail.
Only thing I can think of is that maybe the iTunes sandbox servers are being wonky...

A: This error can also be caused by trying to use the incorrect iTunes Connect test account. If you attempt to use a test account for another team than the one the app you are testing is registered to, it will cause the same error with no more specific message.

A: Thanks to @user1120741 and @Let's Spot it for verifying this was an Apple issue and posting when it was patched up.
Because Apple does not provide us with an easy means to see system issues like this, developers are left second-guessing fully functioning code.
The Moral: Check Twitter, SO and other sites when you have issues like this. If you're sure you have functioning code, you've nuked Simulator, and it still doesn't work, inform others of your issue (Twitter, SO, etc) and simply wait a few hours.

A: This kind of error (Unknown error or error = 0) is caused by various kind of reasons with two main categories. One is the test user account problems (not the same country, inactive, somehow blocked by Apple etc.) the other is the
payment.productIdentifier

when you give a incorrect one because of typo or any other reason.

A: I would like to add that you will also receive "failed" with an error code of 0 (zero) if you are attempting to make an In-App purchase from a simulator. In-App purchases can only be successfully tested from a device.

It took us 30 minutes to get to the mona lisa – the lines were baking up into and through the escalators! Think about that for a second, imagine being backup into an escalator – let me allow that to sink in for a moment! Reminds me of the joke by Bill Cosby – where the man asks him imitating Noah, what he was building and he kept replying I cannot tell you, until he finally drops the line, how long can you tread water for! Well, how long can you tread an escalator for???
Once we survived the moving death trap, we slowly made our way to the Mona Lisa and this is what we see!
Seriously! This thing is more crowded than a moshpit at a Wiggles concert! My Nephew had to mosh his way through that crowd to get a close up view. The way back – out was not better! The folks there actually do want to look at ancient art and there is so much of it, that the pace of exit was excruciating! We finally got out – but before we were subjected to an interconnected shopping mall! Are you kidding me!!
This was the only thing I could appreciate in the entire attached mall. More on Starbucks below. We eventually made our way to the metro to get to the next stop – the Arc de Triomphe, sadly it was still a rainy day! The trip was quick and we were at the Arc in no time, the picture has blurred faces to protect the innocent of this blog!
From there we made our way to the tour eiffel – the symbol of Paris, and boy was it crawling with cops, which at one time made me feel safe, and at another time made me feel out of place. We tried to thank the police officers for protecting us and all – they were not impressed – both in French or English.
From there it was time to dry off! We had been walking in the pouring rain all day and while rain does not bother me much at all, rain and cold clearly set me up for some bouts of sneezing and coughing throughout my trip. Thankfully, it never took over and that is crucial given the number of tastings I did that day or on the rest of the trip, but it did slow us down on some days.
We stayed at a Sheraton hotel because – well I love SPG! SPG is a great hotel chain frequent usage program, at least until Marriott messes it all up soon. The hotel was in the 17th arrondissement, which was very close to many kosher restaurants. A quick tip you can tell which arrondissement you are going to if you have the address. The last two digits of the Paris zipcode is the arrondissement.
One thing we had to do before we got to the hotel was do a little shopping and that was where I picked up my rose wines. In the end I tasted 11 rose wines (9 here and 1 at each restaurant) and one red. Most were just horrible, but there were a few winners and I will list them below.
We finally made our way to the hotel, dried off, took showers and then made our way to dinner. The first night we ate at the Darjeeling restaurant. It is an OK place, but it is glatt and that is what we were looking for. The appetizers were mostly winners, well spiced and well made overall. The main courses were ok, not great or bad, but the wine list is a total disaster, other than the rose wines. I went with the 2015 Tavel Rose and a bottle of the 2012 Fourcas Dupre. The two wines were both a treat and really well accepted from the folks who tasted them, including myself!
From there we took the metro to my Aunt's apartment – and spent a few hours with her listening to old stories – we even recorded it all on my Nephew's iPhone! From there we had some drinks with our cousins at a brasserie close by, and then it was on to dinner. Once again, we went to a glatt kosher place, and this time it was; Lotus de Nissanne. To me this place crushed darjeeling. Now, this is not a great restaurant, but it is a very solid choice for those looking for a glatt option in Paris in the 11th arrondissement. The wine list and the food were better, and it was here that I enjoyed a wine I really loved at sommelier this past year; the 2014 Club Noir Rose. It is a racy and electric wine with great acid and good fruit.
A note here, as I posted last week about kosher roses, in Paris/France many of the wines do not have a vintage! This is annoying to no end, as you do not know if it is an old or new bottle. Many of the wines below – have no date for the wines. I have denoted this by adding in an NV (Non Vintage) on the notes.
The nose on this Gris wine is lovely with lovely pear, peach, gooseberry, strawberry, and lovely saline. The mouth on this wine is lovely, really showing great control, a bit of sweet notes, but that is ok, well balanced with ripping acid, and great pith and saline, while showing great tart strawberry, raspberry, slate, and floral notes in the background. Impressive all around, with good tart fruit, mineral, and such a refreshing tart wine that it really is a great QPR!!
Another slightly muddled wine, it is mevushal, but this is more balanced than the Corne Loup. The nose on this wine is nice enough, cooked notes, with cherry and strawberry. The mouth is acidic with some pith, but everything else falls apart after that – bummer.
Lovely nose of dirt, slate, light funk, and lovely strawberry, with floral notes in the background. The mouth on this medium bodied wine is nice with good balance and acid, peach, but showing age and candied fruit with cooked notes showing. Cooked notes are showing a bit, but as it opens the wine shows more funk and dirt bringing – lovely all around wine with candied strawberry and quince. The finish is long and flinty – nice! This wine feels more like the 2013 Montaud.
This wine starts off with a lovely ethereal and flinty nose with great quince, cherry, and raspberry. The mouth on this medium bodied wine is tart, dry, and showing get refreshment with intense acid and lovely fruit attack. The mouth is striking with great intensity, focus, and gooseberry, followed by mad grapefruit, and funk. The finish is long and pith based with more acid, rock, mineral, and gooseberry lingering long – BRAVO!!!
Another one of those unbalanced rose, this one is too sweet, too much residual sugar without the requisite acid to make it work.
The nose on this wine starts off slow, but opens quickly with lovely rose hips, rose water, with classic Provence funk, and flint. The mouth on this medium bodied wine is lacking a bit in the acid, but makes up for it in the overall balance and pith. The mouth starts off with a bit more funk, followed by pith, gooseberry, raspberry, dried grapefruit, and nice acid bringing up the back. The finish is long with nice hints of tannin, more funk, strawberry, and good spice, along with cloves, and dried quince. Nice!!! Drink up!!!
This is another one of those wines that lacks balance with too much residual sugar.
The last vintage of this wine was not tasted blind as was this one – no silver foil to be found! The nose on this gris colored wine is indeed old world, dried fruit, earth, dirt, mineral, saline, less funk than the 2014, strawberry, and yellow flowers. The nose on this lovely wine starts off closed like the 2014, but with time but with time opens beautifully. The mouth on this medium bodied wine shows incredible mineral, flint, which then gives way to dried apple, mad quince, grapefruit, showing more cold fruit than the 2014. This wine though is still very Provence in style, showing great focus, mineral, straw, dried grass, slate, crazy acid, with pear and apple taking front stage. The finish is focused, saline, mad acid and mineral bomb. Bravo!
The nose on this wine is lovely and shows notes of candied cherry, raspberry, with tart fruit. The mouth feels fuller than the 13 because of the slight residual sugar that works great with the gripping acid and hints of tannin, with candied grapefruit and quince. The finish is long and tart with sweet notes mixing in here and there and refreshing acid that brings along with it pith and slate and floral notes.
This is my QPR and goto red wine from France. The nose on this wine shows lovely notes of cherry, raspberry with a plate of tart red juicy fruit, followed by mineral and dirt galore. This wine is still very young, showing a medium bodied, with rich acid, mouth coating tannin, loads of crazy dirt, hints of mushroom, that has yet to all come together, but the tannins are slowly integrating, with cassis in the background, and the dirt showing more now. The finish is long and dry, with intense acid, mad mouth drying tannin, with great focus and attack, more mushroom, loamy dirt with tart lingering fruit, lovely.

Per your suggestion I got a few bottles of the 2012 fourcas. I got the impression that it's still hasnt hit its drinking window (atleast not when this article was written) so I have yet to try it. I was wondering if you've had it since and how it was progressing? Is it ready to drink but still in an upswing?
Hope to we're able to see each other next time you're in town. Any plans for sukkot?


Charming Cirencester (siren-sester), the most significant town in the southern Cotswolds, is just 15 miles south of Cheltenham. Amazingly, under the Romans – who knew it as Corinium – Cirencester ranked second only to London in terms of size and importance, but little now survives from that era. The medieval wool trade brought further prosperity, with wealthy merchants funding the construction of a superb church.
Cirencester today is both elegant and affluent, but refreshingly unpretentious. Upmarket boutiques and fashionable delis now line its narrow streets, but its Monday and Friday markets remain at the core of its identity. Beautiful Victorian buildings flank the busy central square, while the surrounding streets showcase a harmonious medley of historic architecture.

Wilcon Builders' Foundation, Inc. set to donate for... 2019-02-19 11:57:27
Wilcon Builders' Foundation, Inc., the non-stock, non-profit organization, and socio-civic arm of Wilcon Depot and Wilcon Home Essentials, has committed to donate P3M for the rehabilitation of ABS-CBN's child welfare and protection arm – ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Bantay Bata 163's Children's Village project.
The Children's Village, which opened in May 2003 in Norzagaray, Bulacan, has served as shelter and home to an average of 120 abused and maltreated children in its cottages where they were nurtured under a loving and caring environment as an alternative child care where house parents provided day to day parental supervision to children in a structured, therapeutic, and family-like environment.
Consequently, Wilcon Builders' Foundation, Inc. has obliged to donate a wide range of Wilcon's top-grade quality products that would help rebuild a comfortable and sustainable life in the village, which the latter had once had.
Consequently, Filipino environmentalist and philanthropist Gina Lopez has lauded this move by Wilcon and has expressed her gratitude personally to Wilcon Depot's President and CEO Lorraine Belo-Cincochan and Senior Executive Vice President and COO and Philippine Retailers' Association (PRA) President Rosemarie Ong on her recent visit at the store's head office.
Truly, Wilcon Depot has provided constant support as they help in building, improving, and refining every Filipino home and community with their top-of-the-line products and relentless services, making them a trusted leader in the country's construction supply and home improvement retail industry.
For more information about Wilcon, visit and log on to their official website at www.wilcon.com.ph or follow them on their official social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram at @wilcondepot.ph.

FLEXIBLE ARCHITECTURE: FROM MOBILITY TO ADAPTABILITY
An interview with Robert Kronenburg on future of mobile architecture by Anel Moldakhmetova
Read intro
An interview with Robert Kronenburg
An interview by Anel Moldakhmetova
Today, mobile digital technologies are becoming more and more advanced and easily accessible, and giving us much more freedom to move around while still getting things done. We don't have to stick to one place any more and Internet connection and mobile gadgets are allowing us to choose a sort of neo-nomadic lifestyle.
More and more people can travel and at the same time work by using mobile technologies. While the dynamics of modern peoples' lifestyle is increasing, the type of housing they live in is changing at a much slower speed.
Should the built environment correspond with current lifestyle and cultural trends and be more efficient in addressing global economical, ecological and social problems? Robert Kronenburg, an architect, professor at the University of Liverpool, and specialist on issues of mobile/portable/temporary architecture, author of 'Architecture that responds to change', 'Adaptable architecture: Flexible dwelling', 'Modern Architecture for flexible living', and 'Houses in Motion: The Genesis', shared his vision of the evolution and future of adaptable architecture and the place it could take in future cities.
Hide intro
How did your interest in mobile architecture start?
When I was a student, I entered a mobile building design competition and I was lucky enough to win it. It was actually a real project, and we built it with a big construction firm in Liverpool. I found out that the builders were more interested in the small mobile type of building than they were in big structures that they made in London. After I started my architectural practice, I was involved in designing mobile fabric structures for different purposes – commercial types of buildings, like show rooms and entertainment buildings, and I got interested in it. When I started to teach at the university, I wanted to find out more about this. What I found out was that nobody talked about portable buildings seriously, they always thought that it was a cheap form of architecture, in fact, they didn't think about it as architecture at all. And I thought: this needs looking at, because it's not just about a cheap type of building, it's an interesting form of design.
You curated the major exhibition Portable Architecture (1998) held at the RIBA, London, and were a curatorial advisor on the Vitra Design Museum's exhibition Living in Motion (2002−06). If you were to organise an exhibition about portable architecture today, what would the key issues be that you would address? How would it be different from the issues of past exhibitions?
The big change is that there is more portable architecture around now, it's becoming more sophisticated and more accepted by developers and by the general public, it's become a more acceptable form of design. I have just updated my first book, 'Architecture in Motion', that was written in the 90s and published in 1995. The updated version was issued this year, 18 years after the first book was published. If you look at the difference between these two books, the basic philosophy, the basic kind of structure of portable architecture is still there, but there is just a lot more of it. In general, bigger projects are being built.
So, technology is moving forward and improving. It is still not widespread, but it's more commonly looked at as a possible solution. So for instance, if you take the London Olympics in 2012, a third of the major buildings had mobile or adaptable aspects to them .The reason for that was that the organisers were looking for ways to build big buildings for a limited time function, they wanted it to be more sustainable, and the requirement to do that is more important today than it was 20 years ago.
What are the most common stereotypes of mobile architecture today? Where do these stereotypes come from?
In mobile architecture you are often working a little bit at the edge of design capabilities
Mobile architecture is not a type of architecture that has many stereotypes. The reason for that is that you're always trying to solve a very specific problem, and a specific problem usually leads to quite innovative unusual solutions. It's far more likely for that to happen in the mobile type of architecture than in conventional static architecture, because there are many different ways of solving a static architecture problem. Sometimes it comes down to style, to image, to budgets, whereas in mobile architecture you are often working a little bit at the edge of design capabilities. You have to produce working buildings, and it's actually quite difficult to make them fulfill their function well. However, there are set forms of mobile architecture which are repetitive and they do happen more and more often, the most common being tensile architecture; buildings which are made using tents and membranes. Another form of mobile architecture which is quite common, is inflatable architecture, (pneumatic architecture) where tents and a membrane form are used, which is quite typical.
I wouldn't call these stereotypes, I would call them innovative archetypes. The main solutions are not stereotypical, unless you use the standard one, like one from a manufacturer which makes them for generic use. They are often quite different in shape and form.
happypontist.blogspot.ru
Let's talk about the comparison between static architecture and mobile architecture. What economical, cultural and social issues does mobile architecture address more successfully than the static one? Can you give any specific examples of this?
A portable structure is used in a situation where it's providing a solution to a problem that can't be solved in any other way. Typically, these problems arise because the time of the project realisation is limited, or when the built project has to be completed in a difficult location. For instance, if you are doing expeditionary work, or you've got some mining to do at a remote location, you can settle a remote mining village quickly and easily. So, each sort of solution comes basically from the problem that you are trying to solve. Sometimes that problem relates to a purely economic situation, so if you don't want to build a permanent building, you can build a temporary one that you can use again. Portable structures can be used for an exhibition, or a performance building, where image is very important, it can also be used for humanitarian purposes . Sometimes a solved problem can be economic, sometimes it's logistical, sometimes it has to deal with image or character.
What about economic issues? How can mobile architecture address them? Are there any examples of specific technologies that are currently implemented in different constructions in mobile architecture?
The lightest buildings that can be moved in the compact form are the most sustainable. That's where portable architecture comes in.
Mobile architecture in some ways is relatively expensive. You have to put a lot of effort into designing it correctly, as well as into moving it from place to place. And moving anything around is not sustainable. But when you are actually saving the building permanently which will be otherwise wasted or demolished afterwards, thus counteracting the cost of movement, there's always an equation between how much you save and how much it costs to relocate, and also how much resources it saves to make a new building. So the best way to do it more sustainably is to make your building as light as possible, very compact, which makes it a lot more economic to relocate. The lightest buildings that can be moved in compact form are the most sustainable. That's where portable architecture comes in. Pneumatic architecture, the inflatable architecture (the archetypes), where you can use the membrane, a very lightweight, tensile architecture (where you can also use a membrane which is very lightweight) – these forms of architecture are generally the most sustainable. Providing that the materials used to make them are also sustainable (they are not always that way, but they can be), they can be reused again and again.
Сhicago /Robert Kronenburg /robkronenburg.wordpress.com
Can you name one of the most successful recent examples of economically feasible and sustainable mobile projects?
There is the largest mobile building in the world, it's called Valhalla, and was designed by Rudi Enos in Sheffield, the UK. Its design was commissioned by the city government of Sheffield for the celebration of the millennium eve. This building was expected to exist just for one big party. But the architect designed it in such a clever way that the building will have a much longer life. Although it's a very big structure, it connects and uses lots of different forms and sizes, so you can use big buildings as well as much smaller ones. Thus, Valhalla has actually been used many times since 2000, when it was originally built, and it's been transported to many different locations around the world, including South Africa. In the UK, it's been used in many different ways, for many different purposes, for parties, for concerts, for conferences. So this building, which was actually designed for one single event to be held just one time at one place, has been actually used almost continuously for 13 years now. So that is really a very good example of a building that outlived its owners' original intentions.
Do you think there should be a balance between temporary and permanent architecture? What should this balance look like? How can mobile architecture coexist with static architecture?
The biggest area where we need to improve the way the buildings are designed, I would say it's adaptability.
When I first started doing this research, what was happening then was that there were quite a few buildings being built, for just a short amount of time, and then demolished. And that seemed to me a real waste. In the intervening 20 years or so, less buildings have been built that way. More buildings nowadays are built with the consideration that we can't be as wasteful with the materials as we used to be. The reasons for that are economic. The other reason is sustainability. If we want the mobile and the static to coexist, they both have to fulfill their functions. The mobile building, as well as permanent building, is there specifically to respond to a certain situation.
Adaptability and flexibility is a real agenda for the future."
If you ask me what is the biggest area where we need to improve the way the buildings are designed, I would say it's adaptability. So the buildings which we build today have a greater capacity to be changed in the future, as our needs change in terms of building design, whereas the buildings that were built in the past will take a lot of time, effort and resources to change them. We should be able to change buildings more easily, more quickly. So I think adaptability and flexibility is a real agenda for the future.
What is your vision of the function of mobile architecture in the future? How should it be used?
It's already being used in pretty much every form of architectural building, every form of function. There is a mobile hospital, a mobile school, a mobile office, a mobile gym, a mobile discothèque, restaurants. Every single form of architecture that exists in permanent form also exists in mobile form. And that's because we have many different functions for a building; the thing that drives mobility in architecture is not necessarily the function, it's other things to do with location and the amount of time that these functions can exist. Mobile architecture spreads right across the border, and will continue to be that way.
The need for mobile architecture could be changed because we've been using all the form of technology to negate the need for actual travel
The only thing that is really changing society, changing culture, and the economy, is the information age. So, for example, you and I can have an interview across many thousands of miles, we don't need to move in the same ways physically as we would've done in the past. So that's changing society. When we do need to move, when we do have a need of a physical presence in a certain location, if that physical presence is only temporary, then there will be a mobile requirement for a shelter to cover that activity. It's somewhat ubiquitous and it's engaged with every source of function that human beings do. The one thing that might change that and reduce its need is the fact that we do remote activities a lot easier through robots, through information and communications technology. The need for mobile architecture could be changed because we've been using all forms of technology to negate the need for actual travel.
Do you think that mobile architecture will become more and more popular? In 10 years? In 20 years? In 30 years?
I think the trend for it to become more widespread, to work better, to become a more common solution, will continue. I can't see why it wouldn't. The fact is that we are developing new materials which are lighter, more efficient, we are getting better in recycling materials, we seem to have a constant need as human beings to do things as quickly and efficiently as possible, and mobility and flexibility – these things are naturally progressing areas of technological development. They are not something that's becoming less important. On the contrary, I think it will still continue to develop, become lighter, easier to use, cheaper, as technology tends to become smaller and less expensive. These are the needs that are developing and they were not there in the past. Today, for example, we tend to go to places which are more extreme, whereas in the past, for instance, we wouldn't exploit oil drilling in the middle of the sea, and we do that now. So there are lots of mobile aspects straight away. In the past we didn't need resources in the middle of the desert, whereas now we need those resources, so we want to go there to exploit them.
What about mobile housing? If mobile housing becomes more and more popular – how can it integrate into the existing urban system? What are the perspectives?
flexible housing, which can change form and shape, and adapt to people's lifestyles, will not only become more popular, but also necessary
I am not sure we want to say that mobile housing will become more popular, because people like to live in the same place for a considerable amount of time, and also one of the important issues has to do with the question of who owns the land. And it's hard for mobile housing to look for the same tenure as permanent housing. But I think flexible housing, which can change form and shape, and adapt to people's lifestyles, will not only become more popular, but also necessary. We have an ageing population, so as people live longer lives, homes need to adapt to how their bodies change over time, and that idea of flexible housing becomes vital. Arons Gelauff, the Dutch architect, has done a lot of work in this area, and built housing especially for ageing people. As they get older, the housing changes around, so that they can still stay in the same place without having to move home. I'm sure that that will happen.
How fast do you think mobile architecture and flexible architecture should answer the needs of the people and how fast should it adapt to the cultural trends?
(What should be speed of reaction to change and what would the balance between the ever-changing cultural trends and the urban system be?)
Mobile architecture, because it's innovative and uses new technology, is being invested in in areas where culture has a big part to play, like music, theatre, entertainment, sport, and changes quite quickly alongside culture. One of the most exciting mobile buildings of the decade has been built by Mark Fisher and Wendy Williams – a U2 stage, a really fantastic universal structure technologically. It is also very powerful in terms of cultural impact, because billions of people saw that building in the flesh as it moved from place to place, so it has a prominent place in society. It's this form of architecture which is always looked on, as it is innovative, cutting edge and exciting. The whole world watched the Olympics in 2012 because they wanted to see the nations coming together, it was a media event as well as cultural, and all the architecture was there, 30 percent of it or more was high quality, mobile or adaptable architecture. A lot of it was designed to be reused. So in the UK we will have the Commonwealth Games that will take place next year in 2014, and quite a few of these buildings will relocate and be used again at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Thus, these buildings have a sort of media presence in that sense. And when something has been successful, it's very common that it's used again. It's a good example of technology helping society to cope with change in an efficient manner, a good thing to help society move forward. So I think that mobile architecture is integrated into society and is becoming more important with time.

Looking into the future, let's say, 20 – 30 years from now, how do you think mobile architecture can influence the face of the cities? How can it change suburbia? And is it already changing the urban setting today? How will the face of the modern megapolis change?
That's a difficult thing to predict. The big cities are all undergoing change. One of the things which is always predicted is high technology in terms of communication. Information technology will become more prevalent, the big cities will suffer, and cities will actually become less popular with people, who will just be able to work from home in their cottages, and wouldn't need cities so much. However, that hasn't happened so far. Cities are extremely popular, and it has something to do with the need of human beings for society to have to come together to work, to have pleasure, to interact together.
Now we more and more think about the building as having a very flexible use, and being able to change very rapidly in terms of the ways it operates"
Cities are still expanding dramatically in all senses, for example, in the economies of different countries. We are still building permanent buildings in the cities, it is an investment, a financial commitment, and that has a lot to do with the economy. The way in which buildings will change is that the investment will become cleverer. In the past you might just build the building thinking about its use as never changing, now we more and more think about the building as having a very flexible use, and being able to change very rapidly in terms of the ways it operates. So, for instance, it can become an office block and then within a very short amount of time become residential, or leisure type. It will be able to change quite quickly between different functions. And that will mean that the buildings will be designed to be adaptable and responsive, sometimes using automatic responses.
Have you seen the TIC media building? That's a building which was built with many different innovative systems in order to be able to think about responsiveness and adaptability in terms of the environment, but also in terms of the way the building is used. One of the first buildings built in this way was by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers – the Pompidou Centre in Paris – the cultural centre – which was built with a lot of innovative technologies. That building was very flexible, and allowed lots of uses, and those changes have taken place all its life. So I think that integrated response – that's what will happen. Maybe some areas will be designed more specifically to accept portable buildings, so portable buildings will have an easy sort of location in terms of city spaces. But the great thing about portable buildings is that they can fit into any size provided they're designed for that size. I think you will see more portable buildings but I don't think they will necessarily be specifically designed for specific city, environment, I think they will become even more flexible in the way that they could be used. And I think you will see more adaptable buildings, buildings that you use for different functions, buildings that change function quite quickly, and we will see less abandoned buildings in the city because we will be able to use them more efficiently.
What places have more potential to turn into flexible cities?
That's the answer that goes not just for portable buildings, but for all buildings. It's the ones that have the most vibrant economy, the richest cities. If you look at portable architecture as a technological phenomenon, it means that these are the places where people can afford to use that sort of technology. However, there is a form of flexibility and adaptability which uses very low technology, just made by people who can use their own resources very quickly, for example, favelas in South America. It is a very flexible environment, where people are adapting to the changes and making their own cities very quickly and easily using the materials and the resources they have at hand. It is a form of flexibility and adaptability, and in my view, it is a real form of architecture as well. So there are two extremes there: the idea of allowing people to do what they want and giving them the resources to be able to make a flexible environment using the simplest materials, and there is also a very high-tech form of mobile architecture, which you find mostly in very rich cities. So I talk about that in my book, about two aspects of portable architecture; one is a hands-on and almost non-technological phenomenon, and then there is the other side, which uses the very latest materials, very latest technology, that allows for very sophisticated buildings. It is present in all sorts of architecture and all kinds of buildings, it's just another form of architecture, but it happens to be mobile or adaptive.
What tools can be the most helpful in introducing and spreading mobile architecture and flexible architecture in different places? What would make the process easily implemented?
The best way is to have good examples that work, precedents, good people, confidence in using a certain form of architecture. So if you have a form of adaptive architecture which has proven to be working, and it is a good example that was built and can be used, people will then be more willing to try that form of architecture again in more situations. So it's simple – build more, and people will use it. Look at Shigeru Ban – he is using light unconventional materials, for example paper, for unusual situations. When he first started, his buildings were very small, very simple, but as time passed, his form of architecture has become more sophisticated, and now he builds huge buildings, like the Pompidou Centre in Metz. He is using the same source of technology, improving it each time. Each time he builds a bigger building, a more complex building, that provides a better precedent, so people then have the confidence to build them as well.
What do you think about Russia? Can you think of the ways that mobile architecture could be implemented in Russia?
I haven't been to Russia, so I don't know. I think that's it important that architects build in situations that they know and understand the environment very well. As I know from the media, Russia is a very vast country with many different climates. Maybe there are some architects in Russia that are keen to implement the ideas of portable architecture, I don't know. If you invite me to Russia, I will have a chance to learn more about this issue.
What projects are you currently working on today?
The project that I'm working on right now is a book about popular music architecture – it's about the architecture which is for hosting popular music events. And it's about different forms of architecture – mobile, some of them adaptable. It's quite interesting, because it's only recently that this architecture involves professional architects in making the buildings for its use. It's an architecture which is also created by informal designers, by people who are not specifically trained as designers, and yet it still makes the right sort of place for music events. It's quite a complex form of design and has many different forms and shapes, large and small. In the last 10 to 15 years there has been huge development in that form of architecture, because big companies are involved in commissioning specific types of buildings, like Art Galleria in London. These buildings are specifically designed for popular music, and so it's a huge change, a shift in the way of architectural design. I always like to look for new building types, that is what makes me interested in portable architecture generally. The arena which is specifically designed for music performance is a new building type; it has only emerged in the last 10 to 15 years.
Another project I'm working on now is a book which is coming out in 2015. It's on the current state of tensile architecture. It' s all about buildings that are using membranes. It's kind of assessing where we are with that form of architecture, I'm trying to predict where the future is going to be.

Confusion Over Immigration Raids, New Policies Drive 'Know-Your-Rights' Forum
A Dallas immigration attorney says he tells undocumented families to remember their right to remain silent
By Diana Zoga	• Published July 24, 2019 • Updated on July 24, 2019 at 10:46 pm
In the cafeteria of St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church in Dallas, undocumented families sat with notebooks and pencils, ready to hear what they should do if confronted by immigration officers.
The keynote speaker, Dallas immigration attorney Paul Zoltan, told the audience they must remember their right to remain silent when approached by immigration officers or even local police.
"It used to be that I hammered home the point there is local law enforcement and there's ICE. The division is lost," Zoltan said. "The division between police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been dangerously eroded."
The forum Wednesday evening was organized by Dallas Area Interfaith.
Organizers said the demand for informational sessions for undocumented immigrants is high, following reports of pending immigration raids and a newly expanded expedited deportation policy for some undocumented immigrants.
One of the families in attendance told NBC 5, they were more fearful of being split up. The family didn't want to give their names because the parents and a 17-year-old are undocumented. Two younger siblings were born in Texas and are U.S. citizens.
"What if one day they stop everyone in the street and they just get us?" asked a 13-year-old in the family. "It's not safe for us."
"My little brother and me wouldn't know what to do or who to go to," she added.
Zoltan said he tells people who attend his seminars to avoid answering questions -- even from local police.
He acknowledges the consequence makes it difficult for police to solve crimes, but said there is a risk that a local officer would question a person's immigration status.
He still tells undocumented victims of crime to call for help.
"If you are the immediate victim of a crime, you should call the police. The likelihood of you being turned over to immigration is very low," Zoltan said. "The risk is slight, but I can no longer deny there is a risk."

Hazel Mills reviews EMMA (2020)
I was going to write my own review when I started talking to Hazel Mills – Editor at All Things Jane Austen on Facebook – and we found out we thought the same things about the movie. It just so happens she is a better writer and more knowledgeable than yours truly. So here is what she thinks and I wholeheartedly agree!
My first reaction on hearing that there is to be a new adaptation is "Yay, more Jane Austen", my second reaction is "Oh no! What are they going to do to my beloved book?" Therefore I usually approach the production with fairly low expectations in the hope of being pleasantly surprised. The new production of Emma was not released in Denmark, where I live, until the 7th March so I had to decide whether to hide from social media or embrace the onslaught of reactions to the latest offering. I chose the latter, so by the time I watched the film I had read how perfect Johnny Flynn is as Knightley and how wrong he was for the part, how good the music was and how inappropriate it was, that it was too comedic to those who saw little humor and so on! I, therefore, did not know if I was going to be "excessively diverted" or "all astonishment". (yes, I know that's the wrong book!)
My reaction at the end was, to quote Miranda Hart, "Such fun". It is always impossible to fully reflect an Austen novel in the time frame of a feature film compared to a six-hour series, but I came away thinking this was indeed the story I know and love despite its chopping and changing. Many of the characters were recognizable to those in my head, others not so much.
Emma certainly started as a heroine whom no one but Jane Austen would much like, with her utterly superior treatment of Harriet Smith. I felt so sorry for Harriet when Emma manipulated her into refusing the very eligible Robert Martin. Anya Taylor-Joy plays Emma well, allowing the audience to be a party to her thoughts even when she is silent. She makes a very public journey in the film from spoilt child to a much more enlightened young woman.
The actor who played her love interest and our hero pleasantly surprised me. I had seen many stills of Johnny Flynn as Mr. Knightley and was finding it difficult to reconcile myself to a blond hero, however, I really enjoyed his portrayal of the leading man. I think one of the reasons he comes across differently than other adaptations because we see far more of his story. Emma is written from Emma's point of view, so we do not see what Mr. Knightley is like away from our eponymous heroine. This production allowed us to see his struggle which makes him even more human. It is a reflection of the beloved 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice where we saw what Mr. Darcy was doing to recover Lydia even though, in the book, we are not privy to his actions until Elizabeth finds out. I liked this production for this. I have been known to say that Mr. Knightley is too perfect for me and I prefer my heroes more flawed and making a journey such as Mr. Darcy and Captain Wentworth, but this portrayal raised him in my estimation. Some criticized the nude scene but I enjoyed seeing how the gentlemen were dressed by their servants for a change.
The comedy value of the film was greatly enhanced by the presence of both Miranda Hart and Bill Nighy. I thought the performance of Miranda Hart was excellent as Miss Bates; her verbosity was well delivered and her reaction to Emma's cruel remarks at Box Hill was perfection. In the book were know more about how Emma felt after the incident but Miranda Hart made me think much more about what Miss Bates was feeling. Bill Nighy was also very good and played the part written for him superbly, but he was not Mr. Woodhouse that lives in my head. Nighy's Mr. Woodhouse was much more sprightly than I imagine and, other than draughts, his concern for his health and that of others was not much in evidence.
The comedy I did not enjoy was that of John and, in particular, Isabella Knightley. I found them quite grotesque caricatures and wonder if the writers were trying to produce a new Mr. and Mrs. Palmer from Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility. I also did not like the nosebleed which intruded upon the proposal, which I considered a silly, unnecessary distraction from what should be the loveliest scene in the film and not an opportunity for comedy. However, I did enjoy the comedic value of the Eltons. Mr. Elton may have come across as rather Mr. Collinsish at times but Mrs. Elton was absolutely ripe for ridicule. Whoever came up with her outrageous hair creations was a genius. However, in a departure from the book for me, I even felt a tad sorry for Mr. Elton. This adaptation made me think that he really had married in haste and was repenting at leisure.
I loved the girls from Mrs. Goddard's school with their identical red cloaks marching around the village. They reminded me of the pictures painted by Diana Sperling between 1812 and 1823 of scenes from Regency life.
I have to admit that I did not like Frank Churchill much. I always feel we should like him at the beginning of his arrival at Highbury, but, had I not known the story, I would have immediately identified him as a baddie. I found him very sneering and unlike-able. I also felt that Jane Fairfax was also rather underwritten.
For me, the role of Harriet was very well played by Mia Goth. Her "rabbits in the headlights expression" when first taking tea with Emma was wonderful; her discomfort at trying to fit in was palpable as she struggled to perform amongst the high society at Hartfield.
The locations were stunning and the houses sumptuous, although I did feel that Donwell was rather too sumptuous for Mr. Knightley who, "having little spare money", would have had something a little smaller and less ostentatious. The costumes were utterly amazing and I spent far too long looking at how the clothes were constructed. There is a particular pelisse I would like to recreate now! The food should have also had its own credit. It was spectacular. I would love to know how many chefs, cooks and kitchen servants the Woodhouses employed!
There were many little things I really enjoyed too, including Emma wearing a replica of Jane Austen's own topaz cross, gifted by her brother Charles, and a glimpse of Lucy Briers (Mary Bennet in 1995) as Mr. Knightley's housekeeper, Mrs. Reynolds. Surely not THE Mrs. Reynolds? Had Mr. Knightley poached her from Mr. Darcy's Pemberley?
However, the people who stole the show for me were the ever-present, all-seeing servants. I loved Charles and Bartholomew, the footmen for Emma and Mr. Woodhouse. Their ability to supposedly ignore what was going on around them with the foolishness of the gentry was superb, but I would love to know what they said to each other afterwards. It really struck me was how much the servants saw, from the coachman when Emma was being reprimanded and told that things were "badly done indeed" to a speedily retreating footman from a distraught Mr. Knightley on the floor.
So, all in all, I really enjoyed the production despite its flaws and I know many will take issue with some of my comments but I will be happily adding the DVD to my collection. Now did someone say there is a new Pride and Prejudice coming out?
Hazel Mills is a retired science teacher and a founder member of the Cambridge Group of the UK Jane Austen Society. Until her move to Denmark, she was a Regional Speaker for the Society. Hazel discovered Austen as a thirteen-year-old Dorset schoolgirl when reading Pride and Prejudice and fell in love for the first time with Mr. Darcy. She has researched the history of Jane Austen's time, presenting illustrated talks around England and Scotland, on diverse subjects including Travel and Carriages in Jane Austen's time; the Life of John Rawstorn Papillon, Rector of Chawton; Food production and Dining, and the Illustrators of Austen's novels. She lives in a lovely house overlooking the sea with her husband who built her a library to house her extensive Austen collection, which includes over 230 different copies of Pride and Prejudice.

Don't know how I missed this! Thank you, Ladies.
Hazel, you know I love your writing, your breadth n depth of JaneKnowledge… Now I envision your published book, all from said servants' eyes n minds… I'm NOT kidding!!!! Say there is hope. I, too, was fascinated by the servants, Woodhouse and Knightley. I can see you, scribbling away…. a lil bit of ivory… In the room that Keith built… MAY I HOPE???
