You might not feel comfortable grilling the dentists staff about their attention to sterilization, but this question might pay off. An office that doesnt heat sterilize all equipment between patients should raise a red flag. Key terms that should come from the staff are autoclave or chemiclave, the two leading methods of heat sterilization.
Constructed of translucent porcelain and tinted to meet most patients requirements of having a natural look . Seeking a cosmetic dentist for porcelain veneers can also avoid the need for extended orthodontic care and other invasive dental therapies typically associated with a smile makeovers. Says Dr. Glosman. Veneers are designed to look just like your natural tooth structure, are made stronger than steel veneers, and will never stain or discolor. This means people will notice your great smile; your improved appearance, and self-confidence without realizing you have dental work in place.

Council chairman John Brumby says governments need to deal with this problem because poor dental care can result in major health problems and affect quality of life. Just one in 25 people put off going to a doctor because of the cost. GPs bulk bill so there is no cost to the patient at the moment, Mr Brumby said. "If you go to the dentist to get a filling, it's a couple hundred bucks," he said.
Despite her self-pitying tweet and droopy mouth, LeAnn was dressed to impress in black trousers, a matching vest and heels. LeAnn's dental woes began in May 2012 when she first started to have tooth problems, and had to have stitches and a drain in her mouth all whilst powering through a music tour. Can't Fight The Moonlight… or the dentist: LeAnn tried in vain to hide her face as she left her dentist's office with a lopsided mouth She later had to have emergency root canal along with some minor procedures. And things got even worse in 2013 when she sued her former dentist and claimed botched dental work negatively affected her career.
3. Office hours : The dental office you choose should to be open on the days and times you are able to visit. Additionally, extended and emergency hours are equally important. Most dental accidents happen after hours: therefore it is vital that you know you can reach your dentist if and when the unimaginable happens. 4. Dental services : Think about your current and future dental needs. Do you have children that require specialized orthodontic treatments?

Rain poured down on that dark March day as Rick was veiwing it from out of the ships window. He was a major offender, and thus sat in a secluded part of the boat. Rick looked around at the same scene he has looked at for hours. He jingled his chains as they were fastened around every part of his body that could be used as a weapon; he looked at the officers guarding the door in front of him with his heartless eyes. This was responded by the officer scoffing and starting the same rant as he has been preaching for the last two hours. So he started again in his average voice, which was lined with aggravation.
"You know you're worthless! Lucky you at least someone will clean up the trash on this island. How does it feel to kill someone you son of a bit-"
The second guard butted in cutting him off mid sentence. The second guard looked sleepy, his mustache dropped and his eyes sagged as he said "Give it a rest let's just give the dirt bag his boat trip and leave him to rot."
The first guard cut in again, being much younger and energetic. Rick still looked out the window utterly ignoring them as he sat on his metal chair.
"You know what Tim? Not this time. This piece of garbage is pissing me off! He doesn't even have the decency to look at me!" Outraged, the first guard rushed at Rick, Tim trying to hold him back but failed. The first guard punched Rick in the face. Nose bleeding Rick stood up and looked at the man, relatively small compared to Rick. The guard was roughly 5"11 and Rick was 6"2. Rick tried with all of his might to charge at him, but only managed a taunting motion. Eyes filled with rage, muscles tensed he stared the man down.
Upon this the guard ran back, scared out of his wits and grinned as Tim said
"Jesus Vick you're a lunatic, lucky this loser can-"
Rick cut Tim off and said in his low rumbling voice
"You know, while you tuck your kids in tonight think of me because as soon as I get off this fucking island I'm going to kill your entire family, make you watch and then lock you in your own basement with their corpses."
Vick, the first cop gripped his gun and said
"Threatening a police officer? You're not in the position to do that my friend."
Vick was scared obviously, but was confident in the chains, as he walked over and drew his gun going to pistol whip Rick, the second officer, Tim grabbed him and said
"I'm sure the station'd like to hear about this Private!"
Vick tensed up, and walked away breathing heavily as the intercom came on and in a distorted squeaky manor ringed
"All prisoners are to leave the boat now, officers stationed around the boat will guide you what to do and where to go. Any non compliant prisoners will be punished; any violent acts will be dealt with by removal. Thank you and be safe." The intercom ended with an unpleasant crack as Rick was grabbed by both arms and walked out of the room. The narrow corridor was filled with inmates and was plain and orderly as doors lined every nook and cranny. Rick could hear a prisoner scream, and located the origin watching the scene play out saw a man kicking and punching
"Please no! Please no! No no no!" Guards grabbed him and one of them yelled
"Remove him!" as he was thrown back into the cell several guards walked in also bolting the door behind them, Rick could still make out muffled screams. The rest of the extraction was fairly easy, and quick. He never knew what happened to that man but didn't really care. Stepping out onto the island he was one of the last, the cesspool of inmates growing and growing. Officer Vick shoved him off the boat, not helping with the unbuckling process as his hands were chained to his legs. After about twenty minutes they pulled the walkway and set off. Watching the boat sail off only for a moment as an inmate shoved him from behind, losing his balance he almost fell off the dock.
The Mexican angrily said "Watch it grandpa who you think you're messin' with?"
Enraged he grabbed the man by the chest and threw him off of the dock yelling
"SHUT UP YOU BASTARD!" Storming off Rick saw the chaos already started in the cesspool of inmates, not paying attention he bumped into a man with tribal tattoos.

Matthew was itchin' for a smoke.
The boat ride left him nauseous and he stumbled a bit on the dock, slightly dizzy. The whole time he was dumping his stomach contents into a bucket, the officers in his hall laughing at him. He had never handled sea sickness well.
Hope this fuckin' place has some tobacco plants, he thought grumpily, his stomach swaying uneasily.
Someone nudged him, which was not unusual, there were all the criminals in the Northeastern part of the country there.
"Excuse you," He said in his rough Boston accent. He was in no mood to bicker with some psycho.
He kept trudging on, just hoping to find a bed to fall into somewhere deeper within the island.
He was told by a friend of his in the Major ranks that there were twenty or so buildings for housing, each with a couple hundred beds. There was a bathroom for every twenty-five prisoners, and a kitchen/cafeteria for every sixty-five prisoners.
Either way, all he wanted was a smoke and a nap.
After walking around for a while he was trying to find a place to make his. He knew that he wouldn't want to be anywhere near the other prisoners because of the possibility of his death in his sleep. Eventually he sat down somewhere to the far left of the dock, getting the feeling that someone was watching him.
"Hey I saw what you did to my homie back there compadre." Said a voice with a strong Mexican accent as his friend chimed in
"We saw." Looking back Rick saw four Mexicans, the tallest one was taller than Rick, and was about 6'4 he was covered in tattoos and was wielding a pipe he was a giant; muscles budging and tense. The smaller man to his left was about 5"9 had chains wrapped around his knuckles and supported four tears on his face, and then he saw a familiar face. The man who he threw off of the dock was there, about 5"11 normal build and supported two tears on his face. Finally he saw the last one which seemed to be the ring leader. He was lean and not particularly muscular; he had four tears on each side of his scared face. The ring leader spoke up in a strong accented deep voice
"You don't mess with us holmes, there is no cops anymore."
The taller one spoke in an equally accented voice, and ridiculously deep
"We are gonna beat you to death white boy!"
Rick looked at them, swiveling on the ground he sat on
"Really?" Rick started to laugh when the one he threw in the water charged at him. Rick got up and stood there. The Mexican started to punch Rick everywhere and then stopped and yelled in a displeased voice
They all ran over, the giant one let out a yell and swung the pipe at Rick, who ducked, face starting to curl in a grimace watched the pipe fly into one of his friend's stomachs. They let out a yell
"God damn it!"
Rick was distracted, looked back at the others and was slammed in the face by the small one. Rick went into a full rage and tackled the man making him punch himself in the mouth screaming
"Eat it, eat it, eat it!" as the big one kicked Rick off, and with a loud thump Rick slammed on the ground. All of the group ran over and started kicking and punching Rick. Rick grabbed one of their feet and took a chunk out of their leg, and in a scream the man fell backwards in horror.
Badly beaten Rick stood up as the man distracted the group with his screams of pain, Rick grabbed the ringleader and threw him on the ground, which was replied to by a jarring hit to the face which Rick ignored as he started to bash his head into the ground.
The big Mexican slammed the pipe into Rick side and he landed feet away. One down three to go, Rick got up and jumped at the big Mexicans face, clinging on no matter how hard they tried to pull him off he stayed there punching him as hard as he could. Rick was hit in the back with a chain by the disabled Mexican and fell off.
Bloody and hurt the big Mexican angrily charged at Rick with the pipe swinging, as Rick tripped him. Tumbling and rolling he laid on the ground face first. Other Mexicans charging at him as Rick grabbed the pipe and swung it at the ringleader who dodged it and slugged him in the face. Landing a kick on the ringleader Rick was grabbed from behind and responded by kicking him off and swinging the pipe successfully at his face.
One left. The ring leader ran back to his fallen friend and grabbed the chain; Rick followed and was slashed by the chain directly on his chest. In a frenzy Rick rushed the ringleader and was hit again on the face, but this time grabbed the chain and started wrapping it around his knuckles. Pulling with all of his might the ringleader was only drawn in closer and closer to Rick who when in swinging range slammed the pipe against the ringleaders head. Staggering back Rick jumped on him and started beating him with his chained knuckles as he yelled
"DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE" Rick then dragged the bodies to the side of the dock and threw them in.
Badly injured Rick sat down feet hanging off of the edge as a battle raged in his mind
I told you not to throw him off of the dock!
Rick said out loud "It doesn't matter their all dead!"
No they aren't at least two of them are alive.
"They will be soon."
We are a peice of shit you know?
"SHUT UP" Rick yelled as he hit himself in the face.
"I'm hungry."
I'm disgusting he replied in his mind.
# 2013-12-01 21:50:17 , as written by Quitelovely487
I don't belong here... Cordelia thought as she surveyed the yard. Males outnumbered females at a 5 to 1 ratio, everyone seemed bigger, and stronger than she was and not one of them looked like they had enough common sense to figure their way out of a clear tarp.
"And here I am serving a life sentence." Cordelia said to her self with an exasperated sigh as she reached for a pack of smokes she'd charmed off one of the guards, lit it and and took a lengthy inhale.
Not too long after a fight broke out between a group of Latino men and a pretty intimidating 6'2 white man. First blood... Cordelia said with a wry smirk as she watched the scuffle play out. It was quickly escalating to more than a fist fight.
"Die, Die, Die!" She heard the man scream as he assaulted the men with no restraint. There was no way in hell she was sticking around for the outcome of his rampage. She quickly drowned out the screams and jeers and made her way to the compound where she hoped to find a hot meal and a place to escape the madness of the yard.
Matthew was one of the first to arrive at Building 01. He trudged through the doubledoors, their hinges squeaking loudly.
Jesus, it's like a horror movie, he thought, trying to suffocate the thoughts of his family. Every Wednesday they would curl up on their filthy, old couch and watch one together.
Nothing scared him anymore.
"Ay, any grub?" He shouted into the cafeteria. His words echoed and bounced off the pristine walls.
The whole place was sterile and clean, giving it all the atmosphere and appeal of the terminal ward of a hospital.
He walked towards the back, to the industrial kitchen. Pots, pans, bowls, plates, utensils, ovens, microwaves,fridges: everything needed to cook was there.
Yet, there was no food in sight.
His stomach growled at the dark thought coiling up in his stomach, winding it's way around his intestines.
Did...did they leave us here to starve?
Just as he started to panic, he noticed a note taped to the freezer door.
He snatched it off, quickly skimming the contents:
"Dear Inmates,
All the resources needed are provided by the island itself.
Make due."
It was signed in official, loopy handwriting at the bottom.
He tensed, his fingers crinkling the paper.
You've got the be fuckin kidding me. Make due? You condemn us to an island and tell us to make due?!
Matthew screamed in rage, shoving all the pots off the table in one quick motion.
They crashed and banged loudly, satisfying his lust for chaos and revenge somewhat.
At least for now.
Rick busted into the cafeteria. Pain writhed through him, which was unusual. He must have been hurt bad. He saw there was a man appearing to be having a fit. Rick yelled
"Shut the hell up."
And continued on walking in, looking for any trace of a cafeteria worker or a meal.
After the bloody display in the yard Cordelia walked in the direction of the Cafeteria right on the tails of another inmate who she noted looked a little less harmless than most of Orphanos population, and she was thankful for it. Finding someone sane was immediately a priority after she spent the boat ride there sizing everyone up, the prospects were grim.
The two walked through sterile halls and through the double doors into the Cafeteria to find it completely void of staff or anyone at all. The girl was infinitely disappointed that she couldn't smell even the slightest trace of cooking. There was nothing she wanted more in the world (other than being released from Orphanos) than a plate of flapjacks and maple syrup.
"Ay, any grub!" The man yelled, expectantly waiting for a reply but none came. Soon enough his attention was diverted to a note taped to the freezer. Cordelia could barely make out the words he mumbled as he read the note but a few were perfectly audibly. Make due. Everything went dead silent for a beat. Those fucking bastards... Delia thought as she clenched her fists in a mixture of bubbling rage and disbelief... This can't be right.
The brunette man screamed in a fit of rage as he pushed his hands across the counter sending pots and pans flying in every direction.
"Shut the hell up!" A man hollered as he entered the mess hall; it was the ruthless greasy haired inmate from earlier.
"Heh, a bit hypocritical don't you think?" Delia mumbled sarcastically as she thought back to the terrible row he'd caused not to long ago. Can't take the heat? Stay out of the kitchen.
I'm not letting you fuck this up to! Rick said in his mind as the nicer Rick took over, fighting all the way.
"NO NO NO!" Rick yelled in his gruff voice, as he changed.
"Ugh wow... Hey guys whats up, whats the situation on the food." Rick said in a much younger and kinder voice as he stepped forward, side writhing in pain.
"Ah..."
The nicer Rick thought to himself Yes finally! I have taken control! as the other evil Rick added MOTHER FUCKER NOT FOR LONG! AHhhh!
What the hell is wrong with this guy? Delia thought as the bloodied man instantaneously changed his demeanor; taking a step forward, now asking what was going on with the food situation. Delia took a wary step back, she didn't trust him in the slightest.
"Not much. We're on our own, but I'm sure that won't be any problem for you though." Delia said alluding to the fight. It was pretty apparent he wasn't trying to make friends. It seemed his strategy was to be feared, she found it weak. She watched as he contorted his body in pain at the injuries he'd withstood. She couldn't find it in her to offer him help, not after what he did to those men; even if they did deserve it.
"What's your names..." She asked, curiously. What she was itching to ask was why they got thrown onto the island, but she knew that that was a taboo question ask. But there was nothing Delia loved more than a good secret, she'd collected a lot of them over the years in her line of work.
(Post if you want, if you think this is not sufficient let me know and I'll work on it! :] Thanks.)
"Ricks my name." he said as he limped over to the rest of them.
"What...in the fuck?" Matthew seethed. His mood was lethal.
Suddenly there were people everywhere, shouting. Asking questions. Bothering him in general.
He squeezed his fists together tightly, like his brother used to show him.
Count to ten, he'd say in his best shrink voice, in his best shrink suit. Looking down on the rest of the family, with his 'better than thou' tone and shitty advice.
He missed him. Which only made him more irritable.
"Matthew," He said. He looked the girl up and down. She was tatted, like him. Cute, he thought. She'll have trouble around here, looking like that. As for the other guy, he had no patience for him at the moment. His blood was boiling as it is.
"There's no fuckin' food," He shook his head. "There must be crops or somethin'," He said hopefully. Anything would do.
Just then the rest of the prisoners were drearily filing in, looking around and talking loudly to each other.
He was not going to stick around and be the bearer of bad news.
He walked past the others swiftly, his working boots scuffing the linoleum.
The night was falling fast, and apparently the food situation would have to wait.
There were boundaries to be made.
The lower and middle white supremacists took the east wing of this particular building, most of the black middle class in the west, the middle just-plain-whites took the area nearest to the doors(Matthew's area), and varies races of hardcore thugs took the cafeteria, dragging beds by their frames, the metal scraping waking him up every so often.
"What's wrong with the rooms?" He asked his friend James, who he had known from Boston.
He shrugged his shoulders, his tattoos flexing, "Cafeteria's bigger. I don't fuckin' know. Just have to be with the gang, ya know? Me, personally, would rather be in the female's building," He laughed, lifting up his bed.
"You be good now, ya hear, Matty?" He said, ruffling his hair. "I'll look out for you, just like I told your momma I would."
"Thanks bruh," He said sadly.
Matthew fell asleep sprawled on top of the thin, cheap blanket that came on the bed.
His dreams were of his family and homemade chicken Alfredo.
As the days dragged on he healed, but still was in pain. He had stolen a bed, as the evil Rick took over once more and was now resting in a secluded area behind the area the prison that was mostly rundown and woodlands.
"I'm Cordelia, Delia for short." The girl said as she looked around at the steady stream of inmates filing in. She spotted a few of her clients in the mix, and one of the girls she'd worked with.
The men replied; One went by Matthew, the other, Rick. Cordelia watched as the guy by the name of Matthew gave her an appraising glance. Typical... she thought. She was jaded to all the looks and cat calls, it came with the territory and the best she could do was to use it to her favor.
Soon enough inmates started flocking into the mess hall in search of food. There was sure to be an uproar when they discovered that they were being pretty much left to starve.
"Well, that's my cue to leave. It was nice meeting you." Cordelia said as she sauntered out of the room, her long brown hair swaying as she went. It was getting dark, and sleep was Delia's number one priority at this moment. In the female building the dorms were already at max capacity; women brought spare mattresses in the corridors and were packed together like sardines in a can.
"There is no way in hell..." Cordelia spoke as she looked around at the cramped space and cringed at the intolerable din.
"May!" Delia heard a girl call from behind her.
"Chris!" Cordelia said with a smile as she did a 180. A girl with half blonde and black hair, hazel eyes and a freckled complexion sat in a spacious storage room that was comfortably filled with cots, blankets and a few other women who Delia knew from back in New York.
"We saved you a cot." She said with a smile.
Punching the ground in fury Rick replied to the voice in his head "Come on let me kill!" which was replied to by the voice in his head yelling no, The voice said ok ill make you a deal, when I get angry I will let you take over? Rick instantly stopped punching and weighed the options "So no more fighting for control?" No. Rick smiled at the proposition. But while you take over I will tell you who its ok to kill or do whatever. Ok? "Great idea!" Rick said in his menacing voice as he switched over.
"Alright lets go see whats going on with our new friends." Rick said as he walked to the area he last saw them.
Matthew stared at the ceiling, his stomach gurgling.
It was Day 2 of his stay.
He couldn't find the energy to move, much less sit up. Yet, the itch for a cigarette proved too much for him to handle.
He groaned, slowly rising from the stiff canvas of the cot. Logically he knew he wouldn't find one, but he was still going to take a shot at finding food.
He shuffled off the the bathroom first to take a leak.
It's been two fuckin' days, he thought, and the bathroom is already filthy.
It stank of sweat and piss, and there was a puddle of water on the floor. At least, he hoped it was water.
He shook his head as he left, drying his hands on his baggy jeans after washing them.
He pushed open the double doors, the humidity slapping him in the face.
The air was moist and heavy, settling around him and compressing him like a blanket.
There were the buildings and their lawns, and forest.
But are there any crops? Fields? Seeds? Anything?
He sighed, and decided to check with his friends in the Major Building.
They emptied the bag of produce onto the table in front of him.
"We stripped the trees," Big Sal said, his deep, rumbling voice similar to the purr of an engine.
"Is...is it gonna be enough?" He asked, his eyes wide, licking his lips.
"For us? Yes." He nodded, looking pleased. "At least until we take the seeds from these and grow more."
"And everyone else?"
"Look Matty, you're safe with us. Don't you worry." He said, leaving no room for argument.
Matthew just nodded, and with Sal's permission, dug into the peaches, apples, and berries like he had never eaten before.
Of course, they couldn't survive on fruit alone, but apparently they hadn't explored over half the island yet.
I hope to god there's some meat around here, he thought, sweet peach juice running down his chin.
Rick was in the Major Building now, seeing no sign of anyone he had previously encountered. He wasn't too hungry, as he had been living on traps he set up around his place of residence.
Rick muttered under his breath "Damn." As he continued on looking for anyone, by now most of the prisoners have heard about what happened to the Mexicans, and stayed away. Of course there is always going to be a daredevil trying to screw around but no one wanted to fight him.
He still was in pain, as the internal damage must have been severe. He knew he could pull through; still searching getting slightly pissed off at seeing no sign of them, he walked up to a group of people playing cards. They looked at him and the smallest one spoke, in a rat like voice
"What do you want hotshot?"
Which came out nasally which was replied to by Rick putting his boot in the middle of their card game and hoisting himself up, looking around and then deciding to yell
"I'm looking for a Matt, and uhhh… Cordeila? Cordila? Screw it Cordaila." In shock the other prisoners were yelling at him and swearing, Rick climbed down and was meet by a group of angry guys all protesting
"You ruined the card game ya' jagoff!" Yelled a worn voice as Rick tried to be civil, but couldn't stop it. Come on! You told me when you're angry! Yours really angry right now… NOW NOW NOW! Rick surged and his demeanor changed and he let out a rattling raspy voice
"Come here hotshot." And slugged him in the face, and the fight ensued.
After a few minutes of idle chatter Cordelia was interrupted by a slim boy who looked like he could be no more dangerous than a fly.
"You're Cordalia, right?" The boy asked in a thick Jersey accent.
"It's Cordelia." She responded with an apprehensive glare.
"Who's asking?"
"Some fella in the mens dorm is hollering about you." He said with a look of curiosity in his eyes as the girls all turned and started whispering.
"Tall with long black greased hair?" Cordelia asked as the boy nodded.
"That's the one." He said as Cordelia nodded and he went on his way.
"Well, I'll be back." Cordelia responded.
"You're going to go talk to that psycho?" Christa (Chris for short) asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Why not, there's nothing better to do."
"At least let us come with you." The blonde offered.
"No, you girls would cause a row. Would don't need to put any of those fellas into cardiac arrest just yet." Delia said with a chuckle as she made her way to the men's side.
Regaining control, he sighed as he looked at the men laying on the ground and said
"I'v got some food, and a camp out back by the woods."
Not relizing how bad it sounded.
Matthew heard a commotion in the next room.
"The hell?" He muttered, going to check it out.
The weird guy from earlier was talking to the tatted chick, with men lying around his feet.
"Uh...What?" He said, walking up to them, stepping over the bodies.
By now he had started to get the shakes from no nicotine, and he was craving chocolate like mad.
addressing the crowd, he said: "Anybody got some fuckin' candy?"
"I got some candy for you, boy," Someone shouted, grabbing their junk.
"Fuck off, Mack," he laughed, turning back to them.
"Dude, you're seriously fucked up." She sighed as she tried to rap her mind around how he could possibly think she'd fall for that.
"I can fend for myself thanks." She added sarcastically.
A few seconds after Rick's failed attempt at diplomacy the boy by the name of Matthew made his was over looking utter perplexed and a bit worn.
"Anybody got some fuckin' candy?" He called as a slue of vulgar remarks flooded the room followed by a roar of laughter.
"You set yourself up for that one," Cordelia said with a smirk as she reached into her back pocket where she had a dwindling pack of American Spirit cigarettes.
"You look like shit... no offense. Want a smoke?" She said as she took one for herself and even extended the offer to Rick.
"I have a few connections in here, so I can spare a few." She said.
Matthew nearly fell to his knees in joy.
Instead, he plucked a cigarette out of the box as if it were gold.
"You're a lifesaver, doll." He said, taking out his lighter.
He lit both their cigarettes, inhaling so deep he thought he'd swallow the damn thing.
He blew out a smooth tail of smoke, sighing in ecstasy. Then he thought about what Rick had said.
"You got any meat out there?"

Episodes

Production

Development
On May 13, 2018, Fox renewed Gotham for a fifth and final season. While the season was initially given a 10-episode order, this was later increased to 12, thereby making the season finale the series' 100th episode. John Stephens serves as the season's showrunner.

Writing
The fifth season is shorter than the previous seasons, all of which had 22 episodes each. As a result of this, Stephens said, "We move really quickly [...] We tried to build out the character moments as well. Sometimes we've had so much plot that we had to squeeze out some of the character stuff and now that it's the last chance we have to be with these characters, we're letting them live in these moments." The season is inspired by, and adapts elements from two comic book storylines: Batman: No Man's Land, in which the beleaguered Gotham City is cut off from the rest of the world; and Batman: Zero Year, which focuses on Bruce Wayne / Batman's initial period as a costumed vigilante, and his efforts to stop Edward Nygma / Riddler from taking over Gotham. The No Man's Land arc was planned three years in advance, and the producers intended for it to be an "inspiration", rather than a "religious" adaptation of the comic book storyline. The season features ellipsis and analepsis, and therefore three time periods: the season premiere opens 391 days after the events of the season four finale "No Man's Land", before settling back at 87 days. The final episode jumps 10 years into the future, where Bruce is established as a vigilante.

Casting
Main cast members Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, David Mazouz, Morena Baccarin, Sean Pertwee, Robin Lord Taylor, Erin Richards, Camren Bicondova, Cory Michael Smith, Jessica Lucas and Chris Chalk return from previous seasons as James Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Bruce Wayne, Leslie Thompkins, Alfred Pennyworth, Oswald Cobblepot / Penguin, Barbara Kean, Selina Kyle, Edward Nygma / Riddler, Tabitha Galavan, and Lucius Fox. Despite Lucas initially being advertised as a regular for the season, her character was killed off in the season premiere. For the final episode, Lili Simmons replaced Bicondova to portray Selina as an adult.

Benedict Samuel, who played Jervis Tetch / Mad Hatter as a regular in the third season and a guest in the fourth season, returned as a guest in the fifth season. Andrew Sellon, who recurred as Arthur Penn in the fourth season, returned for the fifth season in a guest capacity. He said his character would have become the series' version of the Ventriloquist, but due to the shortened season and pacing reasons, the idea was initially scrapped. After Fox extended the season's episode count from 10 to 12, the creative team were able to continue with their original plan of making Penn the Ventriloquist. Shane West played the recurring role of Gordon's military ally Eduardo Dorrance, written as the series' version of Bane. In October 2018, Jaime Murray was cast in a recurring role as Theresa Walker; it was eventually revealed that her character was actually Nyssa al Ghul.

Design
John Glaser designed the season's costumes. Stephens compared the Batsuit worn by Bruce Wayne in the season finale to the one seen in the film The Dark Knight Rises (2012) due to being a matte, metallic short-eared battlesuit. Mazouz provided the close up shots and voice for the character, while stunt double Mikhail Mudrik filled in for distant shots to fit with the character's grown-up appearance. Lord Taylor said the season finale would feature Oswald Cobblepot resembling the character as he in the comics. To achieve Cobblepot's fat look, he wore a fatsuit. At Lord Taylor's request, the costume designer consciously avoided making Cobblepot resemble Violet Beauregarde's "blueberry girl" look from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and instead went for a "little more monstrous" look, which included depicting the character with a hunch. Additionally, Edward Nygma's season finale Riddler costume was designed to look exactly as in the comics, by having a green color scheme and being filled with question marks throughout. The final episode sees Selina established as a cat burglar; Bicondova said the costume for this episode eschewed the ears seen in most Catwoman costumes in order to look more grounded.

Filming
The season began production in July 2018. Before the season began filming, Ben McKenzie began growing a moustache to accurately resemble Gordon as seen in the comics. However, since he had only two days to grow the moustache, it was ultimately decided that he sport a fake one. Erin Richards directed "The Trial of Jim Gordon", which was the season's twelfth and final episode to be produced but ninth to air, making her directorial debut on television. Filming for the season ended in December.

Release
The season premiered on January 3, 2019 on Fox in the United States, and ended on April 25, 2019. The season was released on DVD and Blu-ray on June 11, 2019.

Ratings

Critical response
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 85% approval rating with an average rating of 7.17/10 based on 20 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Gotham concludes in a glorious free-for-all that takes full advantage of the series' dense roster of colorful villains, making for an extended climax that is equal parts daffy and thrilling."

João Portugal Ramos is one of the success stories of modern Portuguese wine industry. In a relatively short time his eponymous winery has grown from a small base to one of the largest in Portugal, and with their modern upfront fruit and clear varietal labeling his wines have been a hit on the export markets.
Ramos started his carrer with noted Alentejo winery Quinta do Carmo in 1985, subequently sold to the French Château Lafite.
As a sign of how the Alentejo has grown as a region, when João made his first wine in 1986, there were just 15 hectares of vines planted west of Estremoz, whereas now there are some 400.
Although he developed quite a reputation for his consulting work, João wanted to do his own thing. He started aquiring vineyard land in 1990, and in 1997 built his first winery by renovating a building on an old proprety, this now houses João´s current Alentejo operation. By the time of his first vintage, he had 6 hectares of his own and 45 hectares under contract, where he managed the vineyard work. Now he has 200 hectares of his own and 200 under contract.
In 2004 he branched out his Alentejo base to launch a new winery in Ribatejo, Almeirim. This is the home of Tagus Creek, a stunningly sophisticated and modern winery, which allows Falua to produce 1.5 million bottles of red, white and rosé wines of high quality.
To reflect the modernity of this winery, it was decided to build a striking metallic edifice which would stand out as beeing modern and different when compared to other more traditional wineries of the area.

Skender's CTO on the Most Promising Construction Technology Developments
Corie Cheeseman
In Part I of our interview with Stacy Scopano, chief technology officer of Skender, Scopano discusses his career background and the challenges and opportunities facing innovation in E&C. In Part II, Scopano shares how cultivating innovation in an organization is both a bottom up, top down approach. He also explores the sense of urgency to "innovate or die" in the workforce, as well as the future of AI and machine learning in the industry.
Burcin Kaplanoglu, executive director, innovation officer at Oracle Construction and Engineering, leads the discussion.
BK: How do you foster a culture of innovation in an organization?
SS: You must be deliberate and meet organizations where they are. Step one is being very specific about identifying in its current state what culture is, including understanding the base case of where each organization is at and how they're all relatively different.
If it isn't a specific set of investments already in play by 2020, you've got a bunch of other prerequisites before you get to innovation as a culture. I draw a hard line there because our industry has an amazing distribution of innovative companies, early adopters, pragmatic firms, and even the Luddites or laggards. You must hold up a mirror and understand where you're at.
Cultivating innovation in the workplace
Moving forward, this dovetails well to the bottom up, top down approach. Culture needs to be invested in, managed, and driven from a leadership perspective.
But culture also needs to be fostered and enabled from the bottom up in the workforce. People need to feel that if they have an idea, they know where they can take that idea. Employees must feel enabled to drive that idea. The notion of ownership must be very well established.
Who's going to answer and rise to the occasion with a solution, and programmatically, are there processes and programs in place to foster a hidden talent in a remote office somewhere?
BK: What emerging technologies do you see presenting the best opportunities and having the biggest impact?
SS: If we take out the analytics or the whole landscape of AI and machine learning, there's a hedged answer to this around reality capture that continues to be very interesting.
We've spent the better part of last 20 years digitizing the plan. Whether or not that's project management information, building information models, or digital scheduling, the next decade will involve mobility, giving way to the affordability of 360 videos.
I'm excited about the new intersection of comparing plan versus performance, which in construction is the essence of managing risk. Now that we have the capabilities to create, capture, and process side-by-side plans and performance, this will change the shape of risk management, and ultimately, the implications of our industry. We're still in the early stages of that. It's an exciting space to watch.
BK: Where do you see the biggest opportunities for AI and machine learning?
SS: There isn't a lot of conversation that's contextualizing the maturity of some of these solutions to help our industry effectively leapfrog its level of sophistication on data and analytics.
The way AI is described really paints this futuristic, self-learning, organizational set of capabilities. We're on a pathway to get there, but today's technologies can start helping do a lot of the heavy lifting.
Creating a solid data warehouse
As an industry, we've ignored the absorption of our historical data, structuring it and making sense of it, putting it in a container, and making it a useful platform to understand the health of our businesses. Recently, the generation of "robotic process automation" is incredibly exciting, giving us the ability to go back and help create (in a relatively agile way) a solid data warehouse or data lake.
This gives us this notion of managing plan versus performance risk, which in turn provides a historic understanding of what I've done versus what's happening. Applying AI to our industry really reshapes risk management, the essence of what most of our investments are.
"Innovate or die": Modernizing workforce development
I've heard the overt threats of "innovate or die" moving forward. The persistence of behaving as a laggard makes you sticky in certain ways.
There's a sense of urgency for the workforce, our skilled labor shortage, and our general industry. We're being forced to meet the demands for buildings and infrastructure with a new lens on modernizing workforce development.
That's where I anchor on the "innovate or die." For the health of our organizations and our industry, we're constantly demanded to do more with less to deliver these projects. Innovation is playing a central role at making this trend an opportunity.

#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 1 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Q: Mathematics of Finance If you invest a dollar at "6% interest compounded monthly," it amounts to $1.005^n$
dollars after $n$ months. If you invest 10 dollars at the beginning of each month for 10 years (120 months), how much will you have at the end of the 10 years? I know the answer is $1646.99 but do not know how to get this answer using the compound interest formula. Please explain.

A: Your first deposit compounds for  120 months.
The second for 119 months.
Your last deposit for 1 month.
The future value of 120 deposits.
$10(1.005)^{120} + 10(1.005)^{119} + \cdots + 10(1.005)$
or
$\sum_{n=1}^{120} 10(1.005)^n$
This is the sum of a geometric progression.
$\sum_{n=1}^{m} y^n = \frac {y(y^m-1)}{y-1}$
to find this formula multiply by $\frac {1-y}{1-y}$
$\frac {1}{1-y}(1-y)(y+y^2 + y^3 + \cdots + y^m) = \frac {1}{1-y} (y - y^2 + y^2 -y^3 + y^3-y^4 + \cdots - y^{m+1})$
The expression "telescopes" leaving:
$\frac {1}{1-y} (y - y^{m+1})$ which equals the formula above.
plugging the numbers for this problem.
$10\frac {1.005(1.005^{120} - 1)}{0.005}$

Q: Reading Text file line by line in QtCreator does not work I am trying to code c++ in QtCreator 3.4.2. I create Non Qt Project - Plain C++ Project. I have a code, which tries to read content of text file line by line and output to the console screen. But it does not write anything. I run same code in Visual Studio 2013 it works very well, without any problem. So What is the problem. The code is below.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ifstream fin("input.txt");
    string s;
    while(getline(fin,s))

    }
    fin.close();
    return 0;
}

A: Check that the input.txt file is in the working directory of the program. Note that the working dir is not the same as the folder the program's .exe is in - you can set it from the project properties.


Bierly's understanding of the university and the surrounding community is unique in its depth. At Penn State, he earned a master's degree in constitutional law and subsequently served 12 years as a magisterial district judge and 16 years as a county commissioner.
Those experiences gave him legal knowledge and executive capability, which would be remarkable assets to the board.
I won't discourage someone from voting for a "trustee team," but I admire Bierly's solo campaign. It's a tougher road, but it shows independent thinking and vision.
All candidates for the board of trustees must be commended for continuing their dedication to our alma mater. Some may say that this year's 30-plus candidates is overkill, but I disagree; it demonstrates the diverse and enduring commitment of our alumni for the glory of Old State.
Bierly has the experience, devotion and resolve to be an outstanding trustee.

Portalb: Western Balkan Countries Sent "Mercenaries" to Fight in Ukraine – a Russian Propaganda
By Ardit Ramadani On Feb 28, 2022 0
Фото: колаж на Порталб
Through a tendentious and sensationalist headline, a Facebook portal misinforms the public that many Kosovo citizens are mobilized to defend Ukraine over recent events related to Russia. Apart from the fact that this is not true, the citizens of Kosovo are prohibited by law from participating in wars outside Kosovo, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo confirmed that none of its citizens went to fight for Ukraine, reports Portalb.mk.
Author: Ardit Ramadani
Russian President Vladimir Putin has never spoken out about Kosovo's support for Ukraine in recent events, much less expressed concern about it.
"Putin scared to death" / Citizens of Kosovo mobilize "to defend Ukraine!" – is the headline of the news we are reviewing.
The headline of this news is tendentious and manipulative, and above all, it claims something that is not true, because, neither Putin was scared to death, nor the citizens of Kosovo are mobilized to defend Ukraine. The news that the ambassador of Ukraine to the Republic of Albania stated that there were Kosovars interested in defending Ukraine from Russia is true, but apart from this statement, there is no other evidence to support this claim.
The origin of this disinformation is from Russian TASS and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov
A few days earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had said that Ukraine was "recruiting" mercenaries from Kosovo, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina to defend it.
"There are reports that mercenaries from Kosovo, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina are being recruited to misbalance Russia and they send them to various places, including Donbass," Lavrov said.
Then, also the Russian news agency TASS had such inaccurate information. Immediately after this, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo denied the Russian Minister and the Russian news agency TASS, stating that there are no Kosovars who went to fight in Ukraine because it is prohibited by law.
We inform Russian Minister Lavrov and the Russian news agency TASS that the Republic of Kosovo has by law banned its citizens from participating in wars abroad and this law provides severe penalties for any of its citizens who may be part of such activities, the MFA states.
The ministry estimates that the statements of the TASS agency and Minister Lavrov are part of a fierce campaign of Russian propaganda, which according to aims to attract the attention of the entire democratic world.
This fierce Russian campaign against Kosovo and other Western Balkan countries, among other things, aims to escalate the situation in Kosovo and the wider region through the Russian satellite in the Balkans, Serbia. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the full solidarity of the people of Kosovo with the people of Ukraine for the right to a free and sovereign life in their own country. The Republic of Kosovo calls for the reduction of tension and the avoidance of conflict, which could reach unpredictable proportions, according to a statement from the Kosovo Foreign Ministry.
In this statement from the ministry is also underlined that Kosovo joined the democratic world in condemning Russia's hegemonic and expansionist policies to the detriment of the sovereign and the independent state of Ukraine.
To conclude, the disinformation is that there is an official mobilization to send Kosovars to fight in Ukraine.

Who Killed the Duke?: Blood Royal
book review, Charles VI, Eric Jager, Eugène Delacroix, fifteenth century, France, Guillaume de Tignonville, legal process, Louis of Orléans, Paris, political history, royal murder, social history
Review: Blood Royal, by Eric Jager
Little, Brown, 2014. 316 pp. $29
One cold night in 1407, assassins attack Louis, Duke of Orléans, on a Parisian street and leave his dead, mutilated body in the mud. The news shocks Paris to the core, and no wonder. Louis was not only brother to King Charles VI and one of four richest, most powerful peers of the realm. He was also the de facto king whenever Charles slipped into "fits of madness," what today would be called schizophrenia. Since those fits happened often and could last months or years, Louis was the king's right hand as well as his nearest blood relative, which makes his murder an attack on the throne itself. Is this an isolated crime, people wonder, or a prelude to more violence, even civil war?
Blood Royal proves the old adage about truth being stranger than fiction. The killers know their man, for they set upon Louis after he makes a regular nocturnal visit to his sister-in-law's palace. Was he actually sleeping with Queen Isabeau? Could King Charles, in a lucid moment, have decided to kill him in revenge? If so, Charles was one of many cuckolded husbands in Louis's wake, and though he often got away with it because of the rich gifts he lavished on these men, he was also known to delight in shaming them. A knight from Picardy named Albert de Chauny, for example, swore undying enmity because of an incident that became so infamous that the great nineteenth-century painter Eugène Delacroix memorialized it on canvas.

But whoever plotted to kill Louis could have had any number of motives. The duke of Orléans was power-hungry and flamboyant in displaying his wealth through absurdly lavish entertainments and vanity building projects. To pay for his excesses, he helped himself to the royal treasury, like as not inflicting new taxes that made him extremely unpopular. So if there was one logical suspect in his murder, there were dozens.
The man tasked with unraveling this intricate, politically volatile mystery is the provost of Paris, Guillaume de Tignonville. This is the part of Blood Royal that I like best, the process of investigation that reveals as much about the time and place as it does about the crime. The witnesses include a cross-section of the populace — a cobbler's wife, water carriers, barbers, an architect's wife and daughter, a baker, and so on. By examining their testimony, recorded on a parchment lost for more than two centuries, Jager reconstructs the crime as it unfolds; relates fascinating, relevant sidelights about the witnesses' professions; decides who answers forthrightly and who are trying too hard to save their skins; and why, with so many onlookers, Guillaume has such trouble identifying the assassins. (Hint: Ordinances regarding the nightly curfew and fire prevention are partly to blame.) Most remarkable, perhaps, is that Guillaume prefers to sweat the details of investigation and rely on logic and observation rather than torture the witnesses, which he could easily have done instead.
Throughout the narrative, Jager shows a vivid grasp of everyday life in fifteenth-century Paris, a city of one hundred thousand people. I particularly like this passage describing the Châtelet, where Guillaume conducts his inquiry:
… legal documents lay piled up throughout the old fortress, stacked on wooden tables and writing desks, sorted onto shelves, cubbyholed in armoires, and stuffed into storerooms, along with the various tools used to make them — goose quills widened and hardened by heat, silver penknives, black-stained ink pots, pumice for smoothing parchment, and polished wooden rulers and shiny metal styli for scoring straight lines across freshly cut sheets of white, virgin calfskin. Whole herds of cows and hillsides full of sheep had been slaughtered and skinned to make these records of human misdeeds, entire flocks of geese had been plucked, and huge numbers of oak galls had been laboriously collected and boiled down to produce barrels of ink.
The unmasking of the murderers comes as a slight anticlimax – history is unkind to dramatic convention, here — but Jager more than makes up for it by recounting what happens afterward. The civil war that ensues offers Henry V of England the chance he's been waiting for to invade, and the reader quickly learns how gross a propaganda job Shakespeare did to glorify "warlike Harry." Likewise, the powerful duke of Burgundy, whom history knows as Jean sans Peur (John the Fearless) could as well have been nicknamed Jean sans Scrupules.
I could have done without the "must have felt" that intrudes on the narrative. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm with Barbara Tuchman on this one. If the historical record doesn't say how someone felt, the historian has no business inventing it; let the reader draw the inference.
But Blood Royal is a fabulous book. You couldn't make this stuff up.


The elements of good trail design have to be matched to realities on the ground.
The trail needs to abide by principles of hydrology, soil science, and geometry while achieving the equally important objectives of connecting people with the natural environment and fun while fitting into the landscape, and "flow.
Happy Trails uses mechanized equipment to remove the majority of the organic material, small trees and scrub to provide a solid and sustainable trail tread. Clay is sometimes taken from beside the trail to harden the surface, these 'borrow pits' are then covered with the organic scrub.
Switchbacks, full bench, and grade reversals are built into the trail for water control; low lying areas are avoided as are fall line trails.

How 'silly' is the Glass Secret organization?
In a recent interview with BBC Radio 4, the founder of the Glass Security Project and his daughter reveal a little-known secret about the organisation, and how it was created.
"We have a secret, it's called the Glass secret organization," says Daniela Gualtieri.
"They have an organisation, they don't really know what it is, they think they are the government or something."
This secret, the Gualtiers, say, has to do with a shadowy and secretive organisation known as the Glass Alliance.
The organisation is a group of private organisations which work to secure and secure communications.
The first Glass Alliance was set up by the US government in the late 1970s, according to the Günter Bohnert, an independent security expert and the co-founder of the Open Society Foundations.
Its aim is to "make our networks more secure".
But the Glass alliance has grown over the years and its membership has grown to over 100 countries, according the Glass Foundation, an organisation which advises the organisation.
The alliance has also been accused of violating privacy and corporate law.
A new organisation, the Glass Association, which was founded in 2009, aims to improve the transparency of the organisation and its members.
But Gualter believes that the Glass organisation is not as secret as it is made out to be.
"It's not as secretive as it's made out, because there's a lot of people involved in it," she says.
"There are some very well-known members, some very obscure members, but that's just a part of it."
It's not the first time that the secret organisation has been revealed.
In 2013, it was revealed that the glass alliance was using a British-owned company, Teneo Holdings, to manage the organisation's activities.
The Gualts say that Teneow Holdings was hired by the Glass Group in 2009 to set up a "global security platform", which was later bought by the organisation for around £5 million.
"This was a private company, we were not aware of the company," says Gualttier.
"But we were given a contract to take part in a project with the Glass Trust."
The Günther BohnERT of the OSS foundation says that the organisation has done its utmost to protect the privacy of its members, who are entitled to access information only on their behalf.
"All the data we receive is in plain text, so there's no possibility of anyone spying on us," he says.
Gualier says that a group called the Open Intelligence Trust has also helped in the organisation of the alliance.
"The Open Intelligence trust is a body that provides an information platform to the Glass members," he explains.
"And there's an Open Intelligence website, which is the organisation behind the organisation."
The organisation claims to have "examined over 400,000 documents, including over 60,000 classified documents, from over 100 government agencies", and is seeking to provide an "information resource to the public".
But Gültier says the Glass organization is not a secret.
"People know that there are people who have infiltrated the organisation," she tells me.
"I don't know who these people are, but I know that they have infiltrated us, because I've been told by a number of people that we are not really secret at all."
It is not the only organisation that has been involved in the Glass project.
According to the Open Secrets website, the organization "is currently being funded by the German Government" and has been "supported by a German foundation since 2007".
The organisation's website says that it is "dedicated to the creation of a global security platform".
However, it is not clear how much funding the organisation received.
The Glass Alliance has a website which claims to be "dedicating itself to ensuring transparency in the security of communications".
However it does not disclose its members and the organisation itself is not publicly available.
"You can't get a lot out of the website," says the Gueltiers.
"Everything is kept private."
It would seem that Glass is not entirely secure, and the trust which it has set up does not appear to be working very well.
According the Open Government Partnership, which describes itself as a "non-profit organisation" which has "fostered trust and accountability in transparency and accountability, and is actively engaged in the public sphere", it says that "the Glass Alliance is an organisation of opaque entities with no public accountability".
The Glass Foundation says that their members are not required to disclose any information to the organisation about themselves.
"Members are free to share confidential information, and to share their expertise, insights and opinions," they say.
"In general, we are very open about our members' privacy."
The Glass Trust also states that their organisation is "open and transparent".
However there is little information about how its members are managed.
According an Open Secrets blog, it states that "members are advised to use their

With the new season, and the arrival of our new ranges of pearl jewellery this Autumn, comes the addition of high definition video to Winterson.
Pearls are uniquely beautiful gems, but their round reflective qualities also present some technical challenges for luxury jewellery photographers. To complement the exquisite still photography of our jewellery, this Autumn we have also introduced short video clips of some of our most best selling pieces of pearl jewellery.
These videos, shot at the highest quality in a professional studio, are displayed online on the Winterson website, in a choice of high or standard definition and are viewable or a desktop, tablet or mobile device. Each video is shot without enhancement, under specialist lighting conditions, and we hope conveys an alternative close-up and three dimensional view of our pearl jewellery to our customers.
Pearls are a favourite choice of jewellery for the autumn, with their colours making them a perfect accompaniment to autumn fashion. Here are three of our favourite earrings from the collections at Winterson.
Cultured Tahitian pearls are one of the most beautiful types of pearl in the world. Their dark natural colours sets them apart from the traditional notion of a white pearl and this pair of Pearl and Diamond Earrings will work with many outfits.
Last year we launched a colourful collection of Akoya Pearl and Gemstone jewellery with Sophie Breitmeyer. Akoya pearls are one of the most traditional of white pearls, having been first cultured in Japan. These blue sapphire Akoya pearl and drop earrings has been one of the firm favourites.
A second piece of jewellery from Sophie Breitmeyer's block colour range for Winterson, the pink ruby gemstones in this pair of Akoya Pearl Earrings truly sparkle in the video clip. These earrings are also available with a matching pendant.
We will be adding further videos over the coming weeks to our jewellery collections, including our new range of Pearl Rings. If you have a question regarding the video clips, please do contact us.

Shootouts, Robberies, and Cattle-Rustling
Grand Canyon Railway > Shootouts, Robberies, and Cattle-Rustling
Keeping the Wild West Alive on the Grand Canyon Railway
Like clockwork at 9 a.m. 364 days a year (except Christmas), tempers flare and a friendly discussion about breakfast gets heated outside the Grand Canyon Railway Depot in Williams, Ariz.
Witnesses watching from bleachers appear delighted at the action taking place against the backdrop of a faux Old West town with the requisite Saloon, Livery, Diner, and, of course, Jail.
When it's over, there's reason for applause. After all, the good guys always win. Nobody gets hurt. And the bad guys get thrown in the hoosegow. (Though somehow, they manage to reappear the next day for a repeat performance.)
The morning altercation between the motley train-robbing, cattle-rustling, and all-around-bad-behaving Cataract Creek Gang and the town marshal is just one of the storylines integrated into the Grand Canyon Railway's excursion between Williams, a real-life Old West town, and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
The Western entertainment continues on the train with cowboy singers and musicians strolling car to car, enticing passengers into sing-alongs. Train-themed songs and old-timey Western standards (think Gene Autry, Tom Mix, and Roy Rogers) are favored. The Marshall works the train, keeping an eye out for any troublemakers or train robbers.
And sometimes, Williams' current real-life mayor and former sheriff, John W. Moore, climbs on board to join passengers. Together, they're doing more than just traveling to one of the scenic Wonders of the World.
They're taking a ride through history.
With his dandy russet silk vest, striped wool pants, and big-brimmed cowboy hat (white, naturally), you'd be hard-pressed to identify Moore as a 21st-century businessman and public servant.
He founded Wild West Adventures, which provides the onboard and pre-trip entertainment for the Grand Canyon Railway experience, in 1989 when the long-dormant train was once again hitting the rails. The then-governor of Arizona was on the train and Moore approached her security detail with the idea of staging a train robbery by an Old West-style gang. They balked. And so Moore rounded up state police and local sheriff's deputies to do the deed.
A tradition was born and the Grand Canyon Railway has been held up on return trips ever since.
In character, Moore's alter ego is John B. Goodmore, authentic star pinned to his chest and a .45 Colt Peacemaker ("the gun that won the West") holstered at his hip. (The gun is fake, he later acknowledges.)
As the train travels north through high desert studded with scrub cedar, the rail-thin, resplendently mustachioed Moore and his cadre work the train cars, to the delight of passengers.
"Ridin' this fancy train is nice," he says, sidling up to one woman. "Ten years ago, I had to take a dusty old stagecoach to the canyon. By horseback, it'd take me 12 hours."
Indeed, the train is comfortable and commodious with fresh fruit, soft drinks, and pastries set out in the first-class, observation dome, luxury dome, and luxury parlor cars. Daily drink specials are mixed by bar attendants, and on premium classes of service there's a champagne toast on the afternoon return trip to Williams.
On both legs of the journey, passengers can sit back and take in broad vistas, including the majestic San Francisco Peaks to the east. The tracks cut through wide-open ranchland, where you might see cowboys rounding up cattle for branding, just as they did a hundred years ago. Keep an eye out for prong-horned antelope, elk, and maybe even an endangered California condor.
As the train nears the canyon, the entertainers work the crowd. In a coach car, the passengers are belting out Ring of Fire, to guitar accompaniment. An accordion player entertains in another. And in the rear luxury parlor car, guests sit back in their plush seats, facing a fiddle player wearing a black cowboy hat and a pair of wicked-looking spears.
Launching into an enthusiastic rendition of the Orange Blossom Special, he announces: "This is your last chance to dance before we hit the Grand Canyon!"
How to Explore
There's no better way to make a grand trip grander than on the historic train to Grand Canyon. Travel over 120 round-trip miles through beautiful northern Arizona while being entertained by historical cowboy characters and strolling musicians. The Grand Canyon Railway has been departing daily from Williams, Ariz., since 1901. Spend a night in Williams next door to the train depot at the AAA Three Diamond Grand Canyon Railway Hotel. Just walking distance from quaint downtown Williams and Route 66, the modern hotel has a grand lobby, indoor pool and hot tub as well as Spenser's Pub with its handcrafted 19th-century bar. Packages with train travel and overnight stays in Grand Canyon National Park and Williams are available. Visit TheTrain.com for more information.

Little Plastic Torahs, Big Revelations
On the holiday of Shavuot, we show our love for the Torah--a love not just of the text, but of the very Torah itself.
There are thousands of little plastic Torahs in closets, drawers, stuffed away in boxes, lying on shelves in Jewish homes across North America. Covered with gold foil, mass-produced in Taiwan, these miniature gifts were generally given to children around Shavuot--the Festival of Weeks--to mark a graduation or confirmation.
As a graduate of a Jewish day school, I was one of those children who received this gift, and I still have my little Torah, now tucked away in a box that once contained checkbooks. The Torah itself is basically unreadable and it is falling apart. But each year, around Shavuot I think of that plastic Torah.
How do you teach the Jewish people to love Torah? If Moses gave little plastic Torahs to the escaped Hebrew slaves would they still have rebelled against him? But seriously, the question I'm asking is this: Are words alone sufficient, or do we, as a people need objects for remembering?
These are the questions I ask on Shavuot, the celebration of both the spring harvest and the giving of the Torah at Sinai. And as adult learning has blossomed in the last few years in Jewish communities, Shavuot has become a time of intensified text study--a time when people sit together to engage ideas on revelation and redemption. As a result, Tikkunei leyl Shavuot (all-night learning events), have become enormously popular nationwide.
Once again this year, CLAL: the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership is promoting pluralist pre-Shavuot learning events as part of National Unity Shavuot. This marks the third year of the project, which CLAL began in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami, and has now been in many other cities and on-line at www.Shavuot.org.
In New York, as part of a planning committee organizing the programs over the past two years, I've sat with rabbis from all denominations, in intense deliberations over what we could study and accomplish together. As rabbis, we all share a love of learning and a desire to challenge one another--whether it is over the meaning of a Midrash, or a fine point of grammar.
After one such meeting, a colleague and I discussed our tendency to attempt "mental gymnastics" every time we got together. "At our public events, hundreds of people from across the denominations come to hear us. How do they make sense of our theoretical battles? How could we convey, that despite our ideological differences we share a simple love of Torah?" I asked.
Jokingly, she suggested that we give everyone a little plastic Torah.
While we never gave out little Torahs (we ended up doing a contemporary dramatic re-telling of Ruth), it was indeed clear to everyone that participated last year that we share a love of Torah. But the dialogue once again provoked in me the tension between loving the words of the text, which we do on Shavuot, and loving the Torah itself, which we do best on Simchat Torah, the autumn holiday in which we dance for hours with the Torah scrolls. The Jewish people have a classic mind/body split. So what do we do to balance the two?
This year on Shavuot, I suggest that people not only discuss the ideas contained in the Torah, but discuss the experience of Torah itself: Of seeing it, of holding it, of reading from it. This is an experience that cuts across ideological boundaries, and has powerful implications.
Just imagine for a moment the metaphors: We hold the Torah like a baby, gently cuddling it to our breast. We dress it carefully; we touch it lightly. We honor it like an elder, standing before it, honoring its history. We treat it like a jewel, hiding it away except for special occasions.
Those metaphors convey part of the experience of Torah, and also remind us why gifts like little plastic Torahs can be more than tacky gift shop items. Toy versions of religious objects can teach children that play and imagination are vital in any spiritual path. Even when they grow up, and move beyond the objects the associations and fantasies still have power.
My own three-year-old twins play with the popular blue "stuffed Torahs." And at times, when they are not whopping each other over the head with them, I see them using the objects as dance partners. They hum a chassidic-like melody that often spins off into a Barney tune, or march the Torahs around the room in a big circle.
Will these stuffed Torahs end up in the closet, forgotten, just as my plastic Torah did? I'm sure they will, but then again, the first Torah text, the broken up tablets that God gave Moses were stored away in the Holy Ark.

Media is so irresponsible, a few weeks ago, Brit Sunday Times had an article about why increasing numbers of women over forty are using donor eggs to have children. There are so many women all over the world that CONCEIVE children NATURALLY over the age of forty that no one talks about, it is so insulting to all women that the media continually focus on women who can't conceive painting all women as over the hill when they hit mid age.
why not talk to women who conceive naturally and write about that for a change, no they are not unusual, or weird they are normal, maybe they are more responsible regarding their health and less overindulgent…even Nicole Kidman transferred her own eggs to a surrogate mother when she was over forty.
There are so many women that conceive and give birth naturally in mid age, women are NOT DONE when they hit forty…why cant the media give us a break.
Fertility drugs are not required, it can be as easy as in your twenties and thirties, twins maybe common, …donor eggs means the child has NO genetic connection with the woman who has paid for the eggs to be transplanted in her…the child has a right to know…when society and media is constantly telling women that they are past their sell by date at forty…they will give up all hope when in reality there is a good chance they can have children just as nature intended.
No one really knows what really goes on in the daily life of a celebrity…regular people can do important things the regular way.

I'm just back from a great, relax holiday. Apart from having good quality time with my family, holiday is also a great time to immerse myself in some books. Instead of the quick information gathering I normally do by scanning my twitter timeline, quick-reading blog posts, and some more in-depth articles from time to time, I really focused on a single book for a couple of hours. Reading books really.
