Recession, reschmession -- it´s still not easy to find good pool cleaners. How else to explain Guardian Pools´ motto -- ¨We Show Up!¨ -- which is proudly displayed on the company´s trailers. Is this how they stand out from the crowd?
Q: Do you watch reality-TV shows?
A: I live with someone who really likes them. We share the remote, so I've seen Survivor for a few seasons. I've seen some of Big Brother and Joe Millionaire. Then there's the reality-game show hybrids, like Blind Date. That's pretty funny. The one I can't stand is Fear Factor. It's not even a game of skill but of who can be the biggest moron -- like, I'll give you 100 bucks if you stick your hand in a hive of bees. Just a lowlife endurance contest. The smartest contestants are the ones who walk off and say, "You people are a bunch of idiots."
Q: Is there one that you especially like?
A: Amazing Race, where the contestants actually go around the world looking for clues. These people actually have to use some ingenuity. Part of it is staying under control and doing the best you can. I like seeing where they go. They're always on a train or something, and then, in American tourist fashion, they run up and grab their clue and they're off again. It's the only reality show I'd even entertain the idea of going on.
Q: Do you think reality TV is a good thing?
A: I guess it's a lot cheaper to produce. You don't have to pay actors or writers. Just film the stuff and pay editors. I'm not sure how real it is, though, when they shoot 90 hours of footage and cut it down to 22 or 23 minutes.
Q: Are there things in the shows that relate to your own world?
A: Well, most politicians aren't the types that would like that sort of attention. Then there's the handful that don't know the difference between good press and bad press. They'd eat slugs as long as Channel 4 was there to film it.
C'mon, we all want that 15 minutes of fame. Well, maybe we want it for a little longer than that, more like eight to ten hours of prime time on a reality-television show. And if you're wise enough to move here from the peasant-filled snowy lands of the north, you´re already ahead of the pack in preparing mentally and physically for the little screen. Welcome to our reality. First, there´s the weather. The summers are Amazon-hot, and the midday steam can stifle you like an anaconda wrapped around your chest. Think some puny tropical island that Survivor throws your way is any worse? Second, there are plenty of bugs and crawly things. Fear Factor routinely subjects its contestants to spiders, beetles, and other slithery creatures. A true South Floridian laughs at this sitcom. We encounter more hexapods, arachnids, and arthropods making breakfast and showering in the morning than Fear Factor competitors see in three seasons. Third: The Great Race? Interstate 95. ´Nuff said. And finally, the most burgeoning category in reality TV, coupling up, which can be seen on the likes of The Bachelor and Married by America. Living in an area that virtually invented spring break, we have the beachfront know-how and bars to hook up quickly, disingenuously, and deviously.
Hi, there. Come here often? Yeah, me too. My guess is that star-struck lovers like, um, us have been wandering into this planetarium since it was built in 1965. I must say, your eyes look lovely in the moonlight. Or should I say, the simulated moonlight? See that bright light right up there? Lean against me and look where I´m pointing. That´s not a star; it´s Venus. The ancients believed that Venus controlled the emotion of love. Maybe that´s because it seems to flicker bright, then dims a bit, then is bright again. Kind of like the roller coaster of love, hmmm? Ooh, look! A falling star! Make a wish! No, I can´t tell or it won´t come true. I´ll just say it involves a heavenly body. C´mon, let me show you the Zeiss M1015 star projector. It´s completely computer-automated. Hold my hand, ´cause it´s kinda dark in here, and I wouldn´t want us to get separated.

Monday night at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of South Florida is better than even Saturday night at the hottest bar. Host Laurie Weiner facilitates meetings of the Women´s Rap Group, where you not only get to meet and chat with a couple dozen women of all flavors but you´ll hear the gory details of the many relationships that got started in the windowless room. Many of the women delight in sighing and moaning about their new loves and share every detail from courting to very dramatic breakup. You can meet the woman of your dreams; get dating advice from the group; describe trials, tribulations, and great sex; ponder how to dump her when she gets crazy; and then regale the group with stories of her psychoses until you finally move on. In lesbian time, that process usually takes a couple of weeks. Until the Miami Sol folded after the 2002 season, Broward and Palm Beach dykes had to trek down to the AmericanAirlines Arena to watch women watching the basketball game, hoping to meet the loves of their lives strolling around during halftime. Now, it´s four bucks at the GLCC. Instead of a halftime show, the center´s infamous security guard shows up without fail ten minutes before the end of the meeting to participate in the sex talk that closes out every session. At the end of the night, women who make a connection can follow the rest of the crew to Stork´s Bakery and Coffee House for more personal conversation.
Our 2001 winner of the Best Independent Cinema has the most gay-themed films outside of a queer film festival, making it a great place for boys with brains or a penchant for art films to hook up. The kiosk to the left of the concession stand beats out even Holiday Park for cruising. The four-sided kiosk offers pencils and index cards for your opinions, and the theater gallantly allows even the bad reviews to remain. Each film gets its own side of the square. If you´re a snob, make fun of the spelling and grammar mistakes on the handwritten reviews and see who agrees with you. To find a shared sense of humor, see who laughs at the same comments you do. If he´s cute and you don´t care about anything else, just check out which film he´s interested in and follow him into the theater. Whether you´re shy or bold, the reviews give you a dozen easy ice breakers ranging from, ¨Have you seen that film yet?¨ to ¨I have all his other movies on DVD. Do you want to watch them at my place before or after we see this one?¨
Sunday Tea is a venerable tradition in the gay community: fresh from their post-Saturday-night-partying naps, hordes of good-looking people, mostly men -- but usually some women as well -- consume cocktails, live it up on the dance floor, and loll poolside with come-hither looks. Where the boys are, indeed. Most of the legendary South Florida venues for such frolicking (Tacky´s, the Marlin Beach Hotel, Club Caribbean) are long gone, but the tradition lives on in several incarnations, including the Sea Monster´s Tea at Sea Cruise. What better subtropical twist than to turn Sunday Tea into a cruise to nowhere? Beginning again in June, on the third Sunday of the month, the Monster primes cruisers with a free buffet and two-for-one drinks before dispatching them onto a yacht at 6 p.m. Next comes a two-hour Intracoastal excursion, complete with one free drink onboard, several cash bars, DJ music booming from a state-of-the-art sound system, and occasional contests (¨Best Tanline¨ was a recent category). All of this is hosted by dragster-about-town Rickie Lee. And it costs a mere $20. A bonus is that you get to make catty remarks about the estates of the rich and famous along the way, as well as a chance to look down upon all the little people in their little boats.
Whether you´re stuck in southbound I-95 gridlock or whizzing by on a Tri-Rail train, these twin neon beacons prove that racial harmony is attainable for South Florida; it just takes a large FPL bill.
You can take that ill-mannered wench from down the street raiding the fridge while watching the kids for only so long. Eventually, you have to break down and call the professionals. Sitters in a Second employs more than 100 baby sitters in Palm Beach County to keep track of the brats while you´re out on the town. The company screens potential sitters and checks references before it dispatches the people who will help you enjoy your first night on the town since God knows when. Sure, you´ll pay more for the pros: Sitters in a Second charges a membership fee of up to $200 per family and then as much as $16 an hour. The baby-sitter conglomerate, in its ninth year in business, mostly employs folks more than 18 years old and lays down some Ward Cleaver-style rules. Among them: Sitters are forbidden to bring over sweethearts, meaning you won´t have to worry about her (or him) locking braces with a boy/girlfriend on your couch.
Cheesy, cheap, sleazy, slutty, whorish. It would take a linguistic surgeon to discern the fine line among the terms. Still, you know cheap when you see it. At the Budget Inn on Federal Highway, they have two rooms of Austin Powers-like, circa ´70s, dirty, disco-queen fantasy. Slip into a pair of platform heels, slide into a vinyl mini, and don giant, tinted, rimless sunglasses, then rendezvous with your inner bad girl. For $99 a night on weeknights or around $125 on weekends, you can rent a room with a heart-shaped bed that has sides upholstered in red vinyl. There´s a red, heart-shaped Jacuzzi for two nearby and XXX movies on the television 24 hours a day. The whole room is lighted with warm, red, slut-seeking spotlights. It´ll make you feel cheap, guaranteed.
One of the best things about living in South Florida, if you can afford it, is having your own boat. Another of the best things is, well, having a good friend who owns a boat. But what about the in-betweeners, those with a few bucks -- if not enough for their own yachts, enough for some self-indulgence? That´s where the Anticipation IV (110 feet long) and Anticipation V (80 feet long) come in. Day trips run from noon to 4 p.m., and four-hour evening cruises can begin anytime after 6 p.m. There´s a dizzying array of combination packages to choose from: young adult and bar/bat mitzvah, corporate, and wedding packages, not to mention silver, gold, and platinum upgrades. All include an open bar, hors d´oeuvres, and dinner. For entertainment, there´s a DJ and an MC. Floral arrangements are included on all tables, and the pilot house is open for tours. Of course, you´ll pay dearly for such lavishness, but isn´t that the point? Top-of-the-line corporate and wedding packages start as low as $5,687 (a silver upgrade for 50 guests) and go as high as $13,249.50 (a platinum upgrade for 100 guests), while young adult and bar/bat mitzvah packages with upgrades range anywhere from $5,989.50 to $10,829.50, also depending upon the number of guests and the kind of upgrade. And what, you may well ask, does all this include? A $200 fuel charge, $250 dockage charge, 6 percent sales tax, and 20 percent service charge. If you want extra time on the water, it´s prorated by the hour, and you can throw in a second DJ for $200. Oh, and did we mention the $2,500 deposit required to reserve the charter, plus $2,000 as a damage deposit on some charters? Kinda makes the $3-per-car parking fee seem insignificant, doesn´t it?
The burgers are beef, but the hogs are beefier. On any given Friday night, this Fuddruckers´ parking lot swells with dozens of Harley-Davidsons, Triumphs, Indians, and just about every other chrome-plated two-wheeler you can imagine. For the boys and girls astride these growling, porcine behemoths, it´s a chance to show off and shoot the breeze. For the rest of us, the Friday-evening spectacle is a spicy condiment to a half-pounder.

Renault launches a 'car for conquest'
Martine Joly - 04-juin-2015 14:37:53
Renault Group chief Carlos Ghosn unveiled here on Wednesday what he called a 'car for conquest' to compete in the compact segment that represents one-fourth of India's market with estimated annual sales of about three million units. The French automaker announced plans to start selling the 800-cc Kwid during the September-November festival season. At a starting price of ₹3 lakh — about €4,200 or $4,500 — the Kwid is positioned on the value-for-the-buck platform and will take on Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, the top players in this segment. Maruti's Alto 800 starts at ₹2.83 lakh, the Hyundai Eon at ₹3.09 lakh (e-showroom Delhi). Maruti Suzuki sells about 300,000 cars and Hyundai about 90,000 in the entry level range. The Kwid offers a lot in terms of looks and performance, said Ghosn. Terming it an "important pillar for advancement of Renault in India". Built on the Renault-Nissan alliance's new CMF-A platform, the Kwid holds the key to the company meeting the target of taking a 5 per cent share of the domestic car market, he said. The Kwid is the product of French, Indian and Japanese talent and balances cost and features, including an SUV-like look, best in class leg-room for a compact car, and the first-of-its-kind multimedia-navigation system with a seven-inch display. Air bags are optional, he said. According to Ghosn, the Kwid has a unique first — developed by a global manufacturer with 98 per cent localisation from Day One. Renault now has a 1.5 per cent market share in India, mostly from the SUV Duster, its single successful offering among half a dozen models that have seen 'moderate sales'. But all the launches have taught the company a lot in its five-year stint in India. A couple of months back, it launched the Lodgy, a multipurpose vehicle, whose sales have just started, he said. The CMF-A platform will serve as a pad for launching an entirely new range of vehicles by both the alliance partners Renault and Nissan, which have built a factory with a capacity of 400,000 cars a year at Oragadam near Chennai. Primarily for the India market, the Kwid may in due course be exported to South-East Asian and neighbouring countries, Ghosn said. Nissan will launch a Datsun brand on the same platform next year. While the platform will be shared, there will be no cross-badging of any model, he said. Both the new platform and the engine provide room for a whole line of evolution, he said.

Transdev and Alstom selected for building the new innovative tramway in Sydney CBD
Mathilde Mortreuil - 19-nov.-2014 07:37:06
The French groups Transdev and Alstom have been selected by the NSW Transport Minister, Gladys BEREJIKLIAN, on October the 23rd, to be part of the "Connecting Sydney" consortium. This group aims to build and manage a new tramway line for Sydney's central business district. The design presented by the companies was judged to be the most innovative; it will allow the transport of 18,000 passengers per hour in each direction, instead of the 9,000 originally intended, and will replace the circulation of approximately 200 buses. The Public-Private Partnership contract is estimated to cost AU$ 1.6 billion and construction of the line is expected to commence in 2019-2020.

French mechanical engineering sector builds itself into a global leader
Mathilde Mortreuil - 21-oct.-2014 03:25:16
Véronique Cuziol, project head at Ubifrance, believes that the French mechanical engineering sector shows the best of the French manufacturing: "No, not all French industries are in decline. Some sectors are successful. For example, the mechanical engineering industry." What exactly is this stellar industry all about? Mechanical engineering firms are diverse in products and services, but broadly they service and produce valued added products for the automobile, aerospace and railway industries. The French mechanical engineering industry has a turnover of 113 billion euros annually, of which 45.6 billion are exported. These figures rank sixth worldwide and third within Europe. Overall there are over 50000 companies in the industry, including a few large players (Fives, Alstom, Areva and Air Liquide) and a healthy majority of smaller companies: 95% of all firms are SMEs and start-ups. Besides the USA and China, European markets are the traditional destinations of French exports in this sector. Germany remains by far the biggest importer. Therefore it's not surprising that a great part of French mechanical engineering companies can be found at the world's biggest industrial fair in Germany, the Hannover Messe. French companies, and in particular SMEs, have been exceptionally effective in leveraging the country's research clusters, some of the best in the world, into innovative solutions. A great example is the Mont Blanc Industries cluster, which specializes in precision machining, mechatronics and other advanced industrial techniques. There is a collective, national interest in creating what is being called the "Factory of the Future": disruptive investments in technologies such as energy efficiency, 3d printing, and advanced robotics that will redefine the future of manufacturing through increased efficiency and reduction in costs. Some of these French start-ups are making big splashes with innovative products. For example the French Expliseat, founded in 2011, produces the world's lightest seat while also offering an innovative and ergonomic design, the "Titanium Seat." Expliseat has recently received certification from the FAA (Federal American Aviation Administration) and can therefore supply the US aircraft industry. Another example of a successful subsector is the textile machinery manufacturing: French firms offer extremely targeted and innovative products and an excellent customer service, as well as a highly skilled workforce. The top 100 French subcontracting companies include a number of large businesses such as the LISI Group, which has a turnover of over one billion euros. There are also a myriad of smaller but nevertheless very ambitious companies such as Manoir Industries: specializing in metal forging and foundry, their objective is to become the world's leader in the production of metals for the nuclear, oil & gas, petro-chemistry and construction sectors. One must remember that France is one of the most attractive countries in Europe in terms of foreign investments, ranking 4th in the world in terms of industrial FDI. This is no surprise give that foreign investors have access to the second biggest economy in Europe, third highest hourly labour productivity, excellent infrastructure, and a central geographic position. Furthermore, France ranks second in Europe for the number of patent applications, with one in ten of these patents being the result of collaboration between a French and a foreign company. Ubifrance, the French agency for export promotion, has 80 offices overseas. Its role is to help French companies in marketing their products abroad, as well assist foreign companies in finding French suppliers or partners.

France's difference when it comes to Intelligent Transportation Systems
Charlotte Louys - 20-juin-2014 03:06:28
The trend, across cities around the world, is for ever-higher densities in urban population. Benoît Perino, UBIFRANCE's expert on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs), says that, once a city reaches a critical size (i.e. a population density of up to 20,000 people per square kilometre), urban mobility becomes a paramount issue. Public-sector authorities need to solve such issues as to how to manage road traffic flows, give commuters up-to-the-minute information, and run efficient back-office payment systems to make these essential services financially viable. High tech makes a difference, and France has been a precursor in ITS technology for over 40 years now, designing and building 'the future is now' solutions. The ITS market in France is worth €4 .5 billion per year?, generating 45,000 jobs. Naturally, Paris is the premier showcase, although every major French city displays impressive achievements in urban transportation. In Paris, the métro is being automated and 'traditional' tickets are on their way out, being replaced by dematerialized Near Field Electronic paid-entry systems such as Navigo that whisk passengers through the turnstiles. Navigo will soon to be deployed across Thalys services — the bullet train serving the high-speed line between Paris and Brussels. One of the key players behind these ultra-efficient, yet complex, ticketing solutions is ERG Transit Systems SA — a specialist company capable of designing ITS ticketing systems for target groups of users ranging from 10,000 to 10 million passengers a day, in cities such as Hong Kong, Melbourne, Rome, Singapore, and maybe San Francisco soon. Managing environmental impact and highway safety is a prime concern, and French technology has met another ITS challenge on its highways (the country's autoroutes ), providing traffic reports and free-flow tollbooth collection (or ETC, for Electronic Tolling Collection). This complex mix of infrastructure and back-office consolidation of on-line toll collection works now in the United States, while respecting each individual state's strenuous and complicated guidelines for toll-collection management, yet still designing a reliable, interoperable system that makes financial sense. Systems have also been designed to identify licence plates on trucks in order to apply the eco-tax, as the vehicles pass under electronic sensory equipment. Obviously, a variant of this multi-mode system is equipment that checks for vehicles exceeding the speed limit, combined with the processing of massive volumes of data in order to properly assess fines. French players have developed solutions that are environmentally and user friendly. Autolib , introduced by Blue Solutions, Bolloré SA's subsidiary, has put up to 1,800 electric cars on the streets of Paris and its region (with 59 suburbs of the French capital included in the scheme) – an environmentally friendly initiative soon to be launched in Indianapolis (USA), where the scheme will be known as Speedy Car . Any visitor to Paris has seen, or perhaps even used, Vélib' bikes to get around. The Vélib' scheme, launched and managed by JC Decaux SA in 2007, maintains a fleet of 17,000 bicycles used by an average of 85,810 riders every day and extends to over 30 suburbs. The running of the Vélib' scheme requires real-time back-office management software and a convenient, yet secure payment system — always the prime ingredients for a successful ITS. What about the role of UBIFRANCE, France's export-support agency ? UBIFRANCE interacts with the key players in the sector, such ATEC ITS France ( www.atec-itsfrance.net ), a professional association that brings all the ITS industry together in order to shape the public debate and lobby in favour of future land-based transportation projects. Another important player is TOPOS, an association that is particularly active in the south-west of France ( www.tops-aquitaine.org ) and has a special interest in developing geo-localization in the transportation field. In fact, a highlight with an international dimension for the entire sector will be the World Congress for ITS in Bordeaux (in south-western France), to be held from 5 to 9 October 2014. As Benoît Perino of UBIFRANCE sees it, "There is a high potential for ITS in France and internationally. There are a lot of French SMEs with great, highly advanced technologies. Our role at UBIFRANCE is to accompany them, so that they can meet local operators and authorities throughout the world and have their technology integrated into turnkey projects."

Oil and Gas: France is one of the world leaders
Arthur Lenoir - 16-avr.-2014 07:28:23
There is Total and then there are the others. That is how some people blindly underestimate the Oil & Gas sector in France. Fortunately, the French landscape for this sector is far richer than that. "What people need to know is that the French offer is positioned among the leaders worldwide," explains Agnès Hagyak, Project Manager for Hydrocarbons at Ubifrance . France's para-petroleum sector includes over 400 enterprises and creates 55 000 jobs that are "highly qualified at the technical and scientific level," according to Agnès Hagyak. In terms of exports, France even has the 2 nd biggest para-petroleum sector in the world, behind N° 1, the United States. France equals Norway and the United Kingdom. French suppliers account for 90% of their total turnover in exports. Total and GDF Suez, among the major players in the world, naturally draw a lot of attention. Yet there are also many French companies that are not as well known, but who deliver high performance internationally. "France's para-petroleum sector includes over 400 enterprises and creates 55 000 jobs that are highly qualified at the technical and scientific level" Many of them are SMEs who display a very high level of technical expertise . These companies are a hotbed of creativity. When it comes to covering needs in technologies, in equipment and services required for exploring, producing, transporting and refining hydrocarbons, the French offer is considered as top-notch. French know-how is especially recognized in the area of offshore and deep water drilling, in fact, for any sort of high sea platform. French companies, thoroughly international, can easily position themselves on very specific niches. They are not at all afraid of customizing their solutions. Quite the contrary! For example, there is the Bardot Group, An SME with international presence, specialized in para-petroleum equipment. In particular, it makes tooling with technical polymers and structures that are soldered by robotic equipment, along with the development of the means to attach and assemble these structures. With such expertise on this niche market, Bardot Group has managed to work on sites in Angola, Texas, Brazil and Malaysia. And BARDOT is hardly the only French company capable of such international success. Nexans, is a specialist in making cables required by the sector. Expert in electrical engineering (automated solutions, instrumentation and command system) CEGELEC works very successfully on international projects. There are still other players in the market: Air Liquide, Bureau Veritas, Entrepose projets, Ponticelli, all renowned companies.
Oil and Gas ( 4 posts )
The department of Infrastructure, Transport and Industry (ITI) facilitates business between French-based companies and Australian companies/agents/distributors. The ITI department also covers the sectors of environment, energy, mines and oil & gas. Most of our international companies such as Alstom, Areva, EADS, GDF, Suez, Technip, Thales, Total, Turbomeca, Veolia operate successfully in Australia thanks to partnerships and alliances with local companies. Nevertheless, French SMEs could also bring their expertise and savoir faire when they team up with local players able to master the local context. In 2013, we are going to bring French delegations to AOG tradeshow (Oil & Gas). Feel free to contact us should your company be interested in connecting with potential French exporters.

Chinese New Year 2023: rituals to receive the Year of the Rabbit
Next Sunday, January 22, 2023, Chinese New Year takes place. corresponding to the Water Rabbit and which, according to predictions of the eastern horoscope, will be calmer and more prosperous than the Year of the Tiger, so it is the ideal time to do some rituals that allow us to take advantage of their positive energy.
The Chinese New Year corresponds to the Lunar New Year, so the date it occurs varies every year, but always arrives between January 21 and February 20explains the site China Highlights.
The Rabbit represents longevity, peace and prosperityTherefore, 2023 is expected to be a year of hope. As in our culture, Eastern countries celebrate the Chinese New Year as it is a period that allows cycles to close and begin. With this in mind, we present some rituals to receive the Year of the Rabbit 2023.
During 2022, which corresponded to the Year of the Tiger, it is likely that we have experienced difficulties of all kinds that left us with emotional wounds. The Rabbit helps us to heal spiritually and energetically, so we are recommended to do a deep cleaning of the home, get rid of broken items and clothes that we no longer use, spiritualist teacher Francisco Choy told the YouTube channel of Diario El Comercio.
He suggested use a new broom and sweep from the inside out to continue with the precepts of Feng Shui.
magnetize the house
This is done by scenting our interiors with incense or mint, eucalyptus or sandalwood candles, and placing some objects that harmonize the energies such as the 3-legged frog or fu dogs.
Avoid eating with forks or knives
Orientals avoid using knives and forks at New Year's dinner to keep it peaceful. If you wish, you can use gold-colored chopsticks and dine on noodles, a food that represents abundance.
Maintain a positive attitude for 1 week
Discipline characterizes Chinese culture, so to have a good year, avoid saying bad words and maintain a positive and kind attitude for at least 1 week.
dress in red
Red is one of the lucky colors for Feng Shui, so don't forget to wear a garment of this tone to receive the Chinese New Year on January 22.

Heart of Iceland
Þingvellir, Iceland
Þingvellir is a natural wonder, situated on the tectonic plate boundaries of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and also the place where Iceland became a commonwealth when the parliament was established there in 930. Þingvellir has for centuries had a unique place in the heart of every Icelander.
At Þingvellir's visitor centre, Hakið, visitors are now invited on a journey through history and nature. At first they get to look into a long-gone past through immersive and interactive experiences. Thereafter visitors get the opportunity to explore the nature of the area in a fun way. Before heading back out to the nature some future scenarios are drawn up so visitors are left with thought-provoking questions.
Routes to Þingvellir
It was mandatory for chieftains to attend the General Assembly during Viking times. Some had to travel long distances in a harsh environment where the trip could take over two weeks. In this tactile installation visitors navigate an elevated landscape of Iceland while animating their trail in a 3D view on screens.
An excellent graphic design, which shows the relationship between humans and nature, with reference to all age groups. The Association of Icelandic Graphic Designers Awards 2019.
The Law Council
Through tactile knobs and Virtual Reality visitors can look into the past and become a part of the Law council which was a part of the General Assembly in Iceland that was founded in 930 AD.
Foreign Rule
This installation gives a good overview of different foreign rulers over Iceland and how its people gradually gained back sovereignty with full independence in 1944.
A unique place is turned into a unique experience. The content is presented in various ways and digital and content experience are successfully woven together. The Association of Icelandic Graphic Designers Awards 2019.
Life at Þingvellir during the Assembly
Þingvellir has since the founding of the General Assembly been at the centre of the nation. It is where people learned the law, settled disputes, created new alliances, found lifetime partners and more. In this installation, visitors become archaeologists and dig for artefacts that have been found at Þingvellir – and often tell a good story.
When Icelanders lost their independence, to the Norwegian King in 1262, it marked the end of the Icelandic Commonwealth. The 700 years that followed were a time of decline for the entire nation.
In this installation visitors become archaeologists and dig for artefacts that have been found at Þingvellir – and often tell a good story.
Grágás
Grágás is a collection of Icelandic Law since Viking times. In this installation people are introduced to that law and learn how ethics, pride and honor have evolved over the centuries.
Lake Þingvallavatn
Lake Þingvallavatn is the biggest natural lake in Iceland. It is rich of natural life holding the biggest Trout to be found and four unique species of Arctic Char. A great example how nature shapes a single species into many. In this installation guests can browse the lake by means of haptic knobs and learn about its wildlife and geology.
Heart of Iceland - Behind the scenes
Come take a look into the concept design process and story development in the Heart of Iceland exhibition in this mini documentary.
Torfi Stefán Jansson from Thingvellir National Park and our interaction designer Lemke Meijer speak about the exhibition concept design, thought processes, development of stories and the interactive installations inside the exhibition at Thingvellir.
The Rift Valley
The Rift Valley Thingvellir are sitting on the edge of the tectonic plates and were formed as the land between the plates subsided. This presence sensing installation tells the geological story of Þingvellir and how it was formed. It is composed of an interactive floor, presence sensing and 3D animation.
Attention to detail is impeccable and the overall experience is outstanding The Association of Icelandic Graphic Designers Awards 2019
Þingvellir is a UNESCO's heritage site with its rich history and unique nature. What does the future hold with climate change, tourism and natural influences? This installation projects possible future scenarios for people to consider.
Ask the Ranger
If in doubt; Ask the Rangers in eight different languages! In this installation they have answers to the ten most common questions.
The spirit of Þingvellir
This presence sensing installation portrays paintings, poetry and songs where Þingvellir with its beauty has influenced the artists over a period of 100 years before 1944 where Iceland became an independent country.
Gagarin received two Red dot Design Awards for the exhibition. The awarded design was for "information design" and "interface design and user experience".

Beautiful and elegant!


The 41-year-old nephew of veteran Dharmendra, in a Facebook post targetted them all with comments and photos of ads featuring them - triggering a bid debate in social media platforms like FB, Twitter and WhatsApp.
Abhay's comments comes in the wake of BJP Rajya Sabha MP Tarun Vijay's comments - "If we were racist, why would we have all the entire south…Tamil, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra…why do we live with them? We have black people around us" - that he made during a discussion on the issue of attacks on African nationals.
In the Facebook post, Abhay wrote: "There's a lot more of these campaigns that are blatantly, and sometimes subtly, selling you the idea that whiter skin is better than darker skin. No one at the top of their game in any field is going to tell you that it is demeaning, false, and racist."
"You have to see that for yourself. You have to stop buying into the idea that a particular shade is better than others. Unfortunately if you look at matrimonial ads you will see how entrenched in our psyche this belief is. We even use the word 'dusk' to describe the colour of someones skin! While an individual may not be able to change this attitude in his/her community, he/she can at least start with the family," said the actor who has acted in movies like Dev D, Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Chakravyuh.
He also came down heavily on actress-filmmaker and activist Nandita Das' 'Dark Is Beautiful' campaign, saying: "...Silly Nandita trying to teach us that Black is also beautiful. Doesn't she know that we already know that? Why else would we be so accepting of people from the south.. What's that? She's from Orissa? Can we include that in the southern belt of states? ..."
On SRK, he said: "And the King Khan himself asking you- (Translated)- "Being a man why are you are still using a women's FAIRNESS cream!?" He's clearly trying to make you a man, becoming whiter in the process is just a side effect."

  }
}

Does it even possible to do this allin one file?
where the sass main file is tailwind imports and then my regular sass content using tailwind utils with apply? becuase on npm start it works awesome... only on th build i have problem.

A: It's likely due to a feature that your are using from tailwind that isn't being parsed properly via the resolve-url-loader package.
Solution A - Quick & Dirty
Add a dummy placeholder CSS property foo:bar; wherever you are using custom variables in custom tailwind classes. Read more here.
.dashboardCards {
    @apply bg-[#fff] hover:bg-[#d8fffe];
}

to
.dashboardCards {
    @apply bg-[#fff] hover:bg-[#d8fffe];
    foo: bar;
}

Solution B
In our project, the following was causing trouble in the .sass files - using custom colour variables.
  .menuItemContainer {
    @apply border-[#242424]  text-[#a4a6b3];
    @apply hover:border-[#5bbfbd] hover:bg-[#2e2e2e] hover:text-[#5bbfbd]
  }

So we changed it to standard sass/css way of writing styles.
.menuItemContainer {
    border-color: #242424;
    color: #a4a6b3;

    &:hover {
      border-color: #5bbfbd;
      color: #5bbfbd;
      background: #2e2e2e;
    }
  }

& voila build is fixed for the time being.

A: I had a similar problem. My fix was to change the configuration:

*

}

*tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  content: ["./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}"],
   theme: {
     colors: {
        transparent: 'transparent',
        black: '#000',
        white: '#fff',
     },
   },
   plugins: [],
};

*postcss.config.js
const tailwindcss = require('tailwindcss');
  module.exports = {
     plugins: [
       tailwindcss('./tailwind.config.js'),
       require('autoprefixer'),
     ],

Reconnection in Marriage, Part One

This podcast is a part of the Reconnection in Marriage series.
This week Dan dives into a new series with his friend and colleague Dr. Steve Call, a therapist and Associate Professor of Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School, who has just published a new book, Reconnect: Insights and Tools for Cultivating Meaningful Connection in Your Marriage. Reconnect offers an insightful, practical overview of findings drawn from Steve's own experiences in marriage and his years of therapeutic practice and of teaching others to work with couples and families.
Dan: "There are many, many books on marriage—two of which Tremper and I have written. But this book is staggering in both its simplicity, and in its depth and goodness."
For Steve, this book was years in the making. As he worked with couples and tried to grow in his own marriage, he consistently encountered certain themes that seemed to be unaddressed in other books and conferences about marriage. Most importantly, the category of hurt—which helps frame Steve's book—was largely unexplored. Underlying so much of the disconnection couples experience is a feeling of being hurt, and Steve argues that until that reality is addressed, we will continue reenacting old patterns of conflict and withdrawal without knowing why.
Steve: "I sensed that there are certain things that are unaddressed and unspoken with regard to what causes difficulty and tension and struggle and distress for couples. […] The hurt between couples is what continues to perpetuate disconnection."
Dan: "This is so unaddressed in most marriages."
We have a really difficult time being able to name hurt, put words to hurt, because we are terrified and fearful of how our spouse will respond.
Steve's book is framed by three core convictions: we're meant to connect, all too often we're disconnected, and there are ways we are intended by God to reconnect. Before that movement toward reconnection, first it's essential to explore the root issues that cause disconnection in the first place. And more often than not, says Steve, those issues are related to experiences of hurt that—whether through cultural messages or family of origin dynamics—we feel too much fear and shame to name. So instead, we turn away from the other in isolation and withdrawal, or we turn toward the other in frustration and contempt.
Steve: "For many of us, we've learned really deeply embedded messages of how we respond to hurt. […] We grow up in families where emotional need and emotional experiences maybe were dismissed or ignored or not responded to, or simply just misattuned, where the caregiver, for whatever reason, wasn't able to respond in a way that was kind or understanding or empathic. We internalize those experiences and bring them into our marriage, and they intersect with one another."
Dan: "So much of our own trauma, and our own lack of attunement in our families, ends up playing out in relationship with our spouse."
When hurt goes unaddressed, it leads to shame, with that devastating internal script of "What's wrong with me?" And when the voice of shame is directing how we relate, we avoid bringing up anything that might lead to discomfort or conflict—including naming our experience of hurt. This fear of conflict, Steve suggests, serves to reinforce the cycles of shame and unaddressed hurt.
Dan: "Conflict, for most people, seems to create that shame spiral and contempt. But you're actually saying, no, this has the potential to open up more. What's that opening to?"
Steve: "When we don't know conflict, we don't know intimacy. When we do know conflict, we do know intimacy. And part of how we define intimacy is simply just to make known. So when we have conflict, we're attempting to make something known about ourselves—with the hope that it cultivates and creates understanding."
Next week, as Dan and Steve continue this conversation, we'll explore more of the practical tools to help rebuild connection where it has been lost. In the meantime, you can find Steve's book on Amazon.

When our friends Chris and Julie Alain asked if we wanted to travel to Utah to hike in the Mighty Five, we were all in. A week in nature exploring a part of the good ole US of A where we have never been with friends who are adventurous as us sounds way better than hanging around GA packing up the house for spring break (which would have been the pratical thing to do). But spring break is not a time for practicality – unless you're a high school or college student then PRACTICALITY RULES for you – but since we are in empty-nesters in full midlife crisis mode, we hopped on a plane and got out of town. Here's our breakdown of the week with as many links to places I recommend.
In-N-Out for dinner – double double animal style, thank you very much. If you know me at all, you know I love In-N-Out.
🥾Angels Landing, strenuous, 5.4 miles. This was our favorite hike of the week, but if you are afraid of heights, you may want to pass on this one.
🥾Emerald lower pool, 1.2 miles, easy. This was a dud for us because the algea that makes the water emerald was not present so it was just muddy water. We have plenty of that in GA.
Stagecoach- amazing steaks!!! You must eat here if you're in the Zion area.
Grafton ghosttown is a short drive down a dirt road not too far from the entrance of Zion.
🥾Riverside hike to The Narrows 2.2 easy miles. Sadly we were not able to do the Narrows due to water temperature. I would travel back to Zion just to do this hike – it's on my bucket list.
Bryce National Park– Only 20% of the trails were open at Bryce on the day we went due to wintery conditions; fortunately, Fairyland Loop trail was in the 20%. The main thing we wanted to see at Bryce were the hoodoos, and this trail showcased them well.
🥾The Fairyland Loop to tunnel bridge and back 3.5 miles, moderate – This was a lovely hike through the snow – the SNOW, people!! And the hoodoos! I loved this hike!
Hickman bridge trail – 2.0 miles of moderate walking.
🥾Capitol gorge trail through the canyon, petroglyphs along way – 2.0 miles of easy walking through the bottom of a canyon.
We also stopped at the one Fruita schoolhouse and The Gifford House where you can buy mini fruit pies which Chris and Julie confirm are delicious.
It's rare to find both excellent food and quality shopping under one roof, but Escalante Outfitters does this with ease. We stopped here for lunch on our way to Arches.
Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument drive – We joked about the number of times we said "WOW" during this vacation, but this drive is really a WOW drive. And store this in your Jeopardy file: this area was the last part of the US to be mapped in the 1940s (not that long ago actually). Mail was delivered by mules through this area until the late 1940s also: it really is the final frontier in the US and has maintained its rugged beauty.
Miguel's in Moab, Utah was a treat. We all got the MOAB (mother of all burritos) and guac and called it a night. YUM!
Stargazing in a park with protected night skies. You can look up and see the stars almost anywhere; however, stargazing in a protected dark sky turned up the volume 100 times! There are so many stars, and we just don't see them all because of artificial light in the skies. If you ever find yourself in a protected dark sky area, go stargazing; trust me!
🥾Upheaval dome trail, Hike to overlook – 2 miles of moderate hiking with great views over a crater that was most likely created by a meteor.
🥾Canyoneering which included rapelling and a 3.5 mile hike out of the canyon. For the record – I was first in the group to go down – just saying. Our guide – Doran – a former FBI agent who got tired of the rat race was amazing!
and the rest of us hiked more to . . .
Hell's Revenge Slickrock UTV – Since we started with Angel's Landing, we might as well end with Hell's Revenge. This was an awesome way to end the trip.
We drove to Salt Lake City to fly out but had enough time to stop by BYU. Scott and I love seeing different college campuses when we travel. BYU was very quiet and clean on this Saturday morning. And I met this retired teacher in the security line at SLC. He told me that last year he got a Christmas card from a former student with a note thanking him for impacting his life and a check for $10,000. His advice for me: make sure your students know your address. It's been on the board since Monday.
And that's it – back to sitting on I85 North every morning now! We are already making plans for something even more adventurous next year – details to follow.

Office Plans
I was inspired to do some research on what types of office plans were most popular among workers. So I dived in and started looking and stumbled across an interesting failure in this area. When a particular office plan was presented, it never included images of monitors. This seems a somewhat shocking error considering that the average office worker will spend a fair amount of their time in front of screen.
Consider this as an example: https://officesnapshots.com/articles/the-top-25-most-popular-offices-of-2018/. In all 25 examples, the initial shot is of a common space. I understand that a bit, it's easier to make these distinctive, the creativity of the designer is more unbounded. But lets be honest, while these areas are useful to collaborative working, without a large screen and space for a keyboard and mouse, the personal ergonomics of them are not adequate for a lot of work. Dig a little deeper and many of the deeper reviews don't feature a single shot of a perso…
The promise (and pitfalls) of index based insurance
Insurance in developing nations is far less broadly available than developed ones. In addition, the risks that citizens of developing nations face, are often much more numerous and severe. Crop-insurance is a common element of agricultural policy in the United States, but less common in Ethiopia. As Ethiopia has a much higher percentage of their population engaged in agriculture, shocks, such as drought, crop disease, or severe weather have big impacts.
Insurance's basic principle is simple, spreading risk across a broader pool. When harmed, you get assistance to lessen the impact, when you're not harmed, your payments cover the costs of others who are. But deciding who is harmed is a very time consuming task. Preventing fraud is important to staying competitive, when looking at private enterprise, and important to public trust when dealing with public programs. But preventing fraud places burdens not only on the insurance provider, but the claimants. Having to prove l…
Finding your way: Public Transit and Uber
Uber has been disruptive in many ways. One way, which has been a great disappointment, is the effect on public transit systems. It was once hoped that ride hailing would provide an assist to public transit, as a gateway to abandoning car ownership. There have also been hopes that suburban commuters would use ride-hailing as their connection to public-transit which is not accessible by walking in these areas. Multiple studies have confirmed these hopes have largely not materialized, and public-transit has been weakened.
Cities have reacted, mostly by putting barriers to ride-hailing growth. Sometimes they are collecting extra fees, sometimes placing new requirements. But mostly these efforts don't do much to change the relationship between ride-hailing and public-transit.
I work with a local group that spends time thinking about automated car policy, how to get the most good and the least bad. We've discussed a proposal that fits ride-hailing, in the here and now, just …
The wrong approach to affordability
A Chicago Alderman just demonstrated why trying to solve affordability at a local level works poorly at best. Alderman Maldonado down zoned a collection of properties to "combat gentrification". On it's own, that would be the worst solution as it's decreasing available housing, which will only push up the prices of the remaining housing. There's a small silver lining in that he claimed this was a negotiating tactic to push more affordable housing into development plans.
The problem here is, that while affordable housing is a great goal, this is a poor way of getting it. It's not necessary to negotiate for it if you act in a comprehensive way, because you can simply legislate the requirements. Legislating creates a predictable and equal environment for development. Negotiating creates friction, uncertainty and is at risk of being arbitrary. The developers who succeed in such an environment are often going to be that are best at bending the politicians i…
How to make housing affordable
Housing costs in many areas across the States have been rising quickly. One of the major causes is restrictive zoning that keeps housing in short supply, allowing demand to push prices higher. Two weeks ago Oregon passed a bill with similarities to the failed California SB50. This bill takes a statewide response to zoning, upzoning many single family areas to automatically allow higher density housing (quadplexes).
It's a fairly amazing development that other states (and cities) should pay close attention to. Localizing zoning is a fine idea when the concerns are truly local, but when it comes to housing costs, the effects are much more regional. Left to business as usual, zoning changes at a pace that does not accommodate demand. Worse yet, when zoning changes it's often only can occur via a backroom deal, which privileges developers with access, ability, and willingness to manipulate the systems.
When a developer spends 1 year planning a project, prices go up. Part of…
Is it only California?
The Economist ran a special report last week comparing Texas and California strengths and weaknesses. What's unavoidably obvious is that many of California's weaknesses stem from housing affordability.
The finances of their schools are severely hampered by 50% higher salaries for teachers. That's not largesse, it's driven by the higher cost of housing. Teachers in California need that money to afford to live there.Net migration is negative (though population is still growing), and the overriding factor here appears to be housing costs.California spends a lot to help it's low-income population, almost 120% more money than Texas per person, yet still ends up with only a marginally lower rate of poverty after transfers despite a much higher average wage. Housing explains about 80% of the higher cost of living that negates California's more substantial efforts to have less poverty. So, if you care about any of these issues, you should ask, are high property valu…
Incentives and Balance
A number of times recently, while having a discussion about a policy with friends or acquaintances, the regressivity of a policy has been raised as a concern. In one case it was gas tax, in another a carbon tax, in another a bag fee.
Does being regressive make a policy bad? While I agree, it is a point against, it's not the final decision point. A policy should be looked at in terms of its larger context.
While it's hard to justify putting additional burdens on those with less, a policy can be enacted within a context of policies that overall lighten the burden. It's beneficial to do so when the policy has net benefits. For example, a basic carbon tax is regressive; the poor as a percentage of their income are more dependent on gasoline and energy. But if a carbon tax is enacted within the context of a equal direct cash payment, the overall effect is progressive.
It's also important to recognize that distribution can be the smaller question, even if it's alw…

These are the drinks you should avoid on a first date
There are certain drinks you don't want to order if you want to impress your date, a survey has revealed
Emma Mountford
Anna StarnesNews Editor, CambridgeshireLive
First dates are bound to make you a little anxious as you try to figure out what to say to a complete stranger.
You want to make a good first impression, so you carefully plan your outfit and ask them thoughtful questions instead of dominating the conversation.
Some Brits think you should avoid ordering a pint of beer or cider on a first date (Image: demaerre)
One aspect of the dinner date you might not realise is putting off your date is your drink selection.
British dating app, Trueview, asked 1,000 people how they feel about drinking alcohol on a first date.
The survey revealed some singletons judge their date for ordering certain drinks, the Manchester Evening News reported.
The drink most people agreed you shouldn't order on a first date is a shot. In fact, 27 per cent of those surveyed said it was the most 'unattractive' drink someone could order during an evening aimed at getting to know each other.
Next on the list was the good old pint of cider. Nearly a quarter of people said that would put them off, with 13 per cent saying ordering a pint of beer is unacceptable.

But it's not all bad news. White wine was deemed 100 per cent acceptable, with cocktails and a spirit and mixer following close behind. Red and rose wine were also seen as good choices by more than 90 per cent.
The survey found that 14 per cent would definitely judge a potential partner based on the drink they ordered, and 45 per cent of those said they wouldn't be able to see past the drinks choice and would be put off straight away.
And men are more judgemental than women, it seems; of those who would judge their partner based on what they drank, 72 per cent would be put off entirely; while only 30 per cent of women would.
Where to go on a romantic date in Cambridge
However, it seems people had differing opinions on how much it is acceptable to drink on a first date. Nearly a quarter (22.4 per cent) said more than five drinks is too many, while 12 per cent would view someone who ordered a drink with no alcohol at all in it with suspicion.
Asked what they would do if a date got drunk on a first date, a third of those surveyed said they would just end the night and head home, while a chivalrous 28 per cent said they would send them home in a taxi.
And 27 per cent said they'd just join in and get drunk too, while 12 per cent would just grin and bear it, seeing the date through to the bitter end but then never call them again.

Trueview founder Matt Verity said: "We all like to go out and get drunk with our mates, but it seems we apply slightly different standards when it comes to meeting up with someone we might end up in a relationship with.
"It looks like the key is to order just a couple of drinks, avoid shots and cider, and try to relax and enjoy yourself!"

Víctor Alberto Gil Mallma (April 8, 1928; Ayacucho – July 14, 1975; Lima), better known as Picaflor de Los Andes, was a Peruvian folk singer. In his childhood, he worked as a driver, painter, construction worker, and bricklayer.  He sold approximately 80,000 copies of the single "Corazón mañoso" in 1960, thereby becoming a cultural icon and obtaining the name "Picaflor de los Andes".

He died on July 14, 1975, in the district of La Oroya; there were more than 100,000 people at his burial.

1.	Be vigilant- Often times when visiting other places and absorbing new cultures, you will be exposed to social and political differences. Although it is exciting and meaningful to encapsulate this diversity within your images in an effort to explain and share with others back at home, in doing so, it's important to be mindful of your role as a photojournalist. Capture what's true, and make sure to send viewers an accurate, unbiased message of what's going on.

A Bottesford family is reeling after having around £4,000 worth of belongings taken in a break-in on their shed.
It is believed the intruders used bolt cutters to remove a padlock on the shed and damaged an alarm inside during the incident at a property on Grantham Road.
A child's scooter, bicycle and helmet were taken along with an adult's mountain bike and a set of power tools, including screwdrivers and a drill, in the early hours of Saturday morning.
One of the residents is a Police Community Support Officer, who declined to give her name. The scooter, helmet and bike belonged to her nine-year-old son.
The woman said she had circulated details of the property taken on local online sale sites but she fear it may have been sold a Sunday market.
She added: "I've spoken to police officers and it appears that Grantham Road in Bottesford has been a bit of a target for burglars in the last few weeks.
"There must have been more than one person involved in our break-in and they must have used a vehicle.
