O Etna é um vulcão ativo situado na parte oriental da Sicília (Itália), entre as províncias de Messina e Catânia. É o mais alto vulcão da Europa fora da região do Cáucaso, e um dos mais altos do mundo, atingindo aproximadamente 3357 metros de altitude (atualizado dia 11/08/2021), podendo  aumentar, gradualmente devido às frequentes erupções.

Sendo o vulcão mais alto Europa ocidental, o Etna é a mais alta montanha da Itália ao sul dos Alpes. A extensão total da base do vulcão é de 1190 km², com uma circunferência de 140 km, o que faz do Etna superar em quase três vezes a área do Vesúvio.

É um dos vulcões mais ativos do mundo e está praticamente em constante erupção. Ocasionalmente, o Etna pode ser bastante destrutivo, mas, normalmente, as erupções não oferecem grande risco à população que vive nas localidades próximas. Os solos vulcânicos em redor propiciam bons campos para a agricultura, com vinhedos e hortas espalhados nas faldas da montanha e em toda planície de Catânia, a sul.

A mais recente erupção ocorreu no dia 11 de Fevereiro de 2022, a sua explosão repentina causou uma nuvem de fumos com mais de oito quilómetros de altura.

Devido à recente atividade vulcânica e ao fato de estar numa região densamente povoada, o Etna foi designado como um dos 16 Vulcões da Década pelas Nações Unidas.

Nome e lendas
O Etna era conhecido na Roma Antiga como ÆTNA, um nome derivado provavelmente do grego antigo aitho ("queimar violentamente") ou do fenício attano. Os árabes chamavam a montanha Gibel Utlamat ("a montanha de fogo"), que mais tarde gerou a corruptela Mons Gibel (traduzindo ambos elementos, árabe e romano, tem-se "montanha montanha", dado que a repetição em língua siciliana denota grandeza). De facto, o nome do vulcão em siciliano é Mongibeddu. O Etna para além de ter um cone principal tem 700 cones secundários. As frequentes e por vezes dramáticas erupções fizeram da montanha um tema recorrente na mitologia clássica, traçando-se paralelos entre o vulcão e vários deuses e gigantes das lendas do mundo romano e grego. Éolo, o rei dos ventos, teria confinado os ventos em cavernas sob o Etna. O gigante Tifão foi preso sob o vulcão, de acordo com o poeta Ésquilo e foi a causa de suas erupções. Outro gigante, Encélado, revoltou-se contra os deuses e foi morto e sepultado sob o Etna.

Diz-se também que Vulcano (Hefesto no grego), o deus do fogo e da forja, tinha sua fundição sob o Etna e atraiu o deus de fogo Adrano para fora da montanha, enquanto os Ciclopes mantinham uma forja em que fabricavam raios para que Zeus os usasse como armas. Supõe-se que o submundo grego, Tártaro, encontrava-se abaixo do Etna.

Empédocles, um importante filósofo pré-socrático e homem público do quinto século a.C., teria encontrado a morte numa das crateras do vulcão Etna.

No mundo católico, acredita-se que o Etna entrou em erupção em respeito ao martírio de Santa Águeda no ano 251, fazendo com que os muçulmanos posteriormente a invocassem contra ameaças do fogo e relâmpagos.

História geológica
A atividade vulcânica do Etna começou há aproximadamente 500 000 anos, com erupções sob a superfície marinha, ao largo da costa da Sicília. O vulcanismo começou a ocorrer há cerca de 300 000 anos a sudoeste do cume que hoje o vulcão apresenta, para o qual se moveu há uns 170 000 anos. As erupções de então começaram a construir o cone vulcânico principal, formando um estratovulcão em erupções efusivas e eruptivas alternadas. O crescimento da montanha foi ocasionalmente interrompido por erupções maiores que levaram ao colapso do cume para formar caldeiras.

Desde há cerca de 35 000 a 15 000 anos o Etna tem experimentado algumas erupções altamente explosivas, gerando alguns fluxos piroclásticos importantes que deixaram extensos depósitos de ignimbrita. A cinza destas erupções já tem sido encontrada em lugares longínquos como Roma, a 800 km para norte do Etna.

Atividade

É considerado um vulcão ativo. A última erupção ocorreu no dia 20 de julho de 2019.

A montanha está a deslocar-se numa direção sudeste uma velocidade de 14 milímetros por ano, a caminho da cidade costeira de Giarre, a cerca de 15 quilômetros do Etna. A este ritmo — que se traduz em 1,4 metros a cada cem anos — só daqui a mais de 15 mil anos os habitantes de Giarre verão o Etna a atravessar a rua.

Em 17 de janeiro de 2021, a lava começou a "escorrer" da cratera sudeste do vulcão e em direção ao leste.

UNESCO
Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO pela sua localização icônica, por ser a maior montanha localizada em uma ilha e o 5° vulcão mais ativo do mundo, bem como aos variados ecossistemas nos seus arredores.

Comparison of the Effect of Continuous Intravenous Infusion and Two Bolus Injections of Remifentanil on Haemodynamic Responses During Anaesthesia Induction
April 21, 2017 by Dr. Clemens Leave a Comment
Authors: Toyoaki Maruta et al
BMC Anesthesiol. 2016;16(110)
A Prospective Randomised Single-Centre Study
Background: Remifentanil is an effective drug for protecting against adverse haemodynamic responses to tracheal intubation. We compared the haemodynamic responses during anaesthesia induction between continuous intravenous (IV) infusion and two bolus injections of remifentanil.
Methods: This prospective, randomised, open-label, single-centre study included patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II, scheduled to undergo elective surgery under general anaesthesia. Patients were randomised into two groups based on remifentanil administration type: the continuous IV infusion group (Group C) receiving a 0.3-μg/kg/min remifentanil infusion for 5 min followed by a 0.1-μg/kg/min remifentanil infusion, and the IV bolus group (Group B) receiving a combination of two bolus injections of remifentanil (first bolus of 0.4 μg/kg and second bolus of 0.6 μg/kg after 3 min) and 0.1 μg/kg/min remifentanil. General anaesthesia was induced with 1 mg/kg propofol and 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium 3 min after remifentanil infusion (Group C) or immediately after the first bolus of remifentanil (Group B). Tracheal intubation was performed 4 min after the injection of propofol and rocuronium. Heart rate and non-invasive blood pressure were recorded at 1-min intervals from baseline (i.e., before induction) to 5 min after tracheal intubation.
Results: A total of 107 patients were enrolled (Group C, 55; Group B, 52). Normotensive patients with no history of antihypertensive medication use were assigned to the normotensive subgroup (41 each in both groups), while those with hypertension but without a history of antihypertensive medication use were assigned to the untreated hypertensive subgroup (Group C vs. B, n = 7 vs. 4). Finally, patients with a history of antihypertensive medication use were assigned to the treated hypertensive subgroup (7 each in both Groups C and B). No differences in heart rate and blood pressure were observed between Groups C and B within each subgroup.
Conclusions: Haemodynamic responses during anaesthesia induction were similar between continuous infusion and two bolus injections of remifentanil within both normotensive and hypertensive patients with or without medication.

Finally, I got 2 more of the quilts for Houston's first responders quilted and the binding attached. Both went in today's mail to be delivered to the fire department.
Our ladies at Shiloh Baptist have a monthly craft meeting and poor Robert, I begged him into going and helping me with the quilt group. Thank goodness he said yes as the ladies that signed up were not very familiar with even using a sewing machine.
This past Saturday we had a white elephant exchange that Robert and I forgot about till Thursday night so these are the wall hangings I made up for our give away's. Took me till midnight Thursday and Friday night to finish. I will say they must have been liked as they were traded a number of times in the exchange.
I haven't been able to do much in the line of Christmas decorations since I got the pups as they eat everything, and I mean everything. This year my groomer colored the dogs for Christmas and Jill and I found this tree on black Friday. We just happened to stop in a store to pass the time till our dinner reservation was ready. It's nothing fancy but I love it and Jill was kind enough to decorate her for me and fluff out all her branches.
Well hopefully the Hartshorn's come back to the B&B in Zephyrhills. I had them a lovely room picked out and finally a bed that didn't leave Jill's back aching then the bed frame broke and they had to spent the last night on an air mattress in the living room. Well had to is wrong. I offered them my room and they refused. I felt so bad.
But we did have a few laughs while they were here. One of the ladies in the quilt group wanted to come join us for vacation and changed her mind last minute so we invented a virtual Mary and gave her a virtual vacation. We took her everywhere then posted her travels on facebook for the real Mary to follow along. Here's Jill meeting Mary for for the first time and Mark having a glass of wine with her at The Melting pot. I can't imagine what the waiter thought.
Wow so much seems to go on that I rarely get back to my blog to update things. We had such an awesome week with Jill and Mark. They came from Ohio and spent the week with us for turkey and early Christmas. They are just so sweet and loving. They even brought gifts for the pups. When I get time I will post a picture of the awesome bag and frame picture they gave me. The bag is exactly what I needed to carry around my quilt class sewing machine. It fit perfectly.
Pot and Beef O' Brady's although Mark didn't find they extra hot wing all that hot. Aren't they just the cutest couple.

A successful Trainer and Assessor takes pride in their work and does not cut corners.
"In the Australian VET sector there is a lot of talk about how regulated it is, but it's largely self-regulating.
As a Trainer and Assessor, definiteness of decision is important. Trainers and Assessors must be strong in their decision making, as the alternative of being unsure and uncertain undermines authority and erodes trust. This does not encourage confidence within the student – either in you or in what they're doing.
– Emma Siebuhr, Fortress Learning Trainer and Assessor.
As a Trainer and Assessor, it is often that it gets to the end of the day and there is still more work to be done.
Having a pleasing personality is a welcomed attribute. However, by itself, being "nice" and "pleasant" means nothing in terms of a Trainer and Assessor's capacity to lead.
A great Trainer and Assessor can step outside themselves and take the time to understand their students' situations.
"We're dealing with people. Leadership and management is about managing people, not things. It's about leading people, not things.
People don't enter work at nine o'clock in the morning and leave behind everything about them and everything else in their life, they bring it with them.
"I think understanding is important. As a leader you have to have understanding of everything; of what people need to do, what they want to do, the situations that they're in.
The small things all add up, which is why attention to detail counts.
"This one sort of leads back to the whole issue of compliance versus performance. But it also leads to, to my mind, a more substantial thing which is not about compliance, it's about culture.
A Trainer and Assessor must set a good example for their students. Sometimes, this involves admitting when you are wrong and having the perseverance to fix it and keep moving forward.
"If you're not prepared to put your hand up and say, "Well I stuffed up, that was my fault", then you really shouldn't be in a position where you are allowing others to look to you for guidance." – Dr Bryan West, Fortress Learning Managing Director.
Co-operation is essential when it comes to the successful relationship between a student and their Trainer and Assessor.

Current: How much cover do I need?
It's not easy for anyone to think about dying, but everyone wants to make sure their loved ones are looked after. Should something happen to you, life insurance could help provide financial security for your family.
It can help towards paying an outstanding mortgage or help protect the family's lifestyle and everyday living expenses. But how much cover do you need? Our calculator helps you work out how much life cover could suit your needs.
If you want the policy to cover you and someone else, you'll need to know their date of birth and whether they've smoked too.
If you need to, it's easy to go back and edit your answers. This may change the quote. Once you're happy with your quote, you can apply online.
If you've got questions about your quote, or need any help, contact us on 0800 1455 588. Our lines are open 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 5pm on Saturday. We may record or monitor calls.
These figures are based on the information you have provided and should not be taken as a recommendation or advice.
This is an illustration only of the amount of life cover you may need and not how long you need it for or the type of cover required. It also does not take in to account the effects of inflation.
The amount and length of cover will depend on your personal circumstances. You may wish to consider the length of your mortgage, what financial commitments you might have and how long your children will be financially dependent on you.

An ambitious genome project launched in the United Kingdom this week aims to sequence the DNA of 100 000 people and publish that information as a free research resource that will be able to be accessed by anyone.
The genetic information will be linked to medical and other phenotypic information about the donors to enable researchers to use the material to help identify genes linked to medical conditions, develop new treatments, and facilitate improvements in personalised medicine.
Stephan Beck, director of Personal Genome Project UK (PGP-UK) and professor of medical genomics at University College London's Cancer Institute, said, "This project is important for a number of reasons. It will establish the practice of open consent in the UK and enable medical advancement through meeting science's need for 'richer' data."

Ravens Top 20 #8: The Comeback
Continuing our look at the Ravens best moments.
By Chuck Mills Jul 24, 2015, 7:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Ravens Top 20 #8: The Comeback
One of the most defining characteristics of the Ravens franchise is their never say die spirit. One of the best stories is how they staged a comeback in Week 12 of the 2003 season against the Seattle Seahawks.
The Ravens were down 41-24 against the Seattle Seahawks with less than seven minutes in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks were going to punt the ball from their own 34, when Ed Reed kicked off the comeback by blocking the punt and then taking it back for a touchdown. Ray Lewis would force and recover a fumble on the next Seahawks possession, which would turn into an Anthony Wright to Marcus Robinson touchdown.
The Seahawks would recover Wade Richey's onside kick, but the defense stopped the Seahawks on the Ravens 33 with 44 seconds left to play. Anthony Wright would lead the Ravens to the Seahawks 21 and Matt Stover kicked a field goal to make the game 41-41 for both sides, which sent the game into overtime.
The Ravens would force the Seahawks to punt on their opening possession of overtime and Anthony Wright would lead the Ravens down the field and Matt Stover would kick another field goal to win the game for the Ravens.


Smile from your heart; nothing is more beautiful than a woman who is happy to be herself.
I'm having fun. I'm being myself. I'm doing what I love. That's all that matters.
Share your smile with the world. It's a symbol of friendship and peace.
Every day, I like to wake up and remind myself to be grateful of the simple things.
Beauty is being comfortable and confident in your own skin.
Stop saying these negative things about yourself. Look in the mirror and find something about yourself that's positive and celebrate that!
I remember debating the finer points of flaky pastry with my chicken-pot-pie-obsessed American dad. I remember the divine mix of Thai food, TV dinners, and hearty, homemade goodness that have shaped this palate of mine to this day. I remember all this, but I still Google my husband's birthday. Thank God he's famous.
No matter what shape or size you are, you should feel confident in your own skin. You should feel like a beautiful woman, no matter what!
I just constantly tell myself that I should be the only one to define my worth and what I'm capable of and how I perceive myself. And that I should never source that worth from other people, especially strangers on social media. They don't know who I am, the length of my journey, who I am as a person.
No phone, a movie, a glass of wine, and some salad. Perfect!
Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.
I think it's important to get your surroundings as well as yourself into a positive state - meaning surround yourself with positive people, not the kind who are negative and jealous of everything you do.
Our family room, where we live, is about togetherness and ease. Nothing in my house is too formal. There are no coasters on tables; the kids can eat Popsicles on the couch if they want to. I let them ride these little cycles we got for them when they were 3 that have rubber wheels and no pedals.
Family is a unique gift that needs to be appreciated and treasured, even when they're driving you crazy. As much as they make you mad, interrupt you, annoy you, curse at you, try to control you, these are the people who know you the best and who love you.
Nothing is better than going home to family and eating good food and relaxing.
People think modeling's mindless, that you just stand there and pose, but it doesn't have to be that way. I like to have a lot of input. I know how to wear a dress, whether it should be shot with me standing or sitting.
We have to be able to grow up. Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life. They are what we have been through and who we want to be.
There's no need to dress like everyone else. It's much more fun to create your own look.
Sexiness is all about your personality, being genuine and confident, and being a good person.
I hate to work out. I get in a bad mood when I have to do it!
We experience happiness as a series of pleasing moments. They come and go like clouds, unpredictable, fleeting, and without responsibility to our desires. Through honest self-work, reflection, and meditation, we begin to string more of these moments together, creating a web-like design of happiness that drapes around our lives.
My philosophy of dating is to just fart right away.

Q: Django ForeignKey: is it possible to ask for a name instead of an id? My question is about django models and foreign keys. I searched for a similar question but it seems I didn't find it.
My models are as follows:
class Matches(models.Model):
    day = models.ForeignKey('Day')
    team_home = models.ForeignKey('Team', related_name="home_set")
    team_away = models.ForeignKey('Team', related_name="away_set")
    golH = models.IntegerField(null=True)
    golA = models.IntegerField(null=True)

class Team(models.Model):
    league = models.ForeignKey('League')
    manager = models.ForeignKey(User)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=20)

Now, is there a way to get the name of the team instead of the id when I call:
Matches.objects.filter(day=1).values()

As alternative:
Is there a way to add two attributes in the Matches class, something like:
class Matches(models.Model):
...
def team_home_name(self)
    return self.team_home.name

def team_home_away(self)
    return self.team_away.name

and get them in the dictionary when I call:
Matches.objects.filter(day=1).values()

Notes:
I would like to keep the team id as foreign key.
I need to have the team name in the dictionary because what I want to pass to the template is the team name and not the team id.
I know that I can build a new dictionary with the wanted information in the view that passes the dictionary to the template, but if there is a way to do this with some django tricks at the model level it would be better.
Thank you.

A: As bruno mentioned, you can pass objects directly to the template. However, using values() also you have the choice to decide what comes as the dictionary values. For example:
Matches.objects.filter(day=1).values('team_home__name','team_away__name')

A:
"I need to have the team name in the dictionary because what I want to
  pass to the template is the team name and not the team id"

Why do you want to pass dicts to your templates ? Django templates work with just any Python objects, including models and querysets - in fact that's the most common pattern.

A: If your goal with all this is only to be able to access the team names from your template, then you don't have to write any additional code in your model or view to achieve that.
When you query Matches.objects.filter(day=1) in your view and include it in the context of your template as matches, you should be able to access the team names in your template like this:
{% for match in matches %}
   Home team is {{match.team_home.name}} and away team is {{match.team_away.name}} <br>
{% endfor %}

Hip hop had a pretty difficult come up towards acquiring its due recognition as a musical genre and for its many artistic-psycho-social contributions (whether positive or negative).
One contribution, possibly the most symbiotic relationship is HipHop's influence on fashion. Allow me to explain.
In the late 80s to early 90s activists rallied and the powers that were tirelessly tried to bring a stop to the inception of a genre. The points of its opposition are ones that may still resonate with many today; its explicit criminality, misogynistic nature and female demeaning lyrics influencing the youth. However, it was something that could not be held down because it inevitably and unequivocally spoke to a generation, a forgotten people that found community within it.
It started as a machine giving voice to an impoverished, undereducated and underserved community speaking out against the disparaging conditions in their neighborhoods as oppose to those a few blocks away. While there were also artists which spoke about much lighter fun topics such as partying and dancing. The music continuously evolved as they went on to speak about their conditions on not having and what it meant to them "to have". Instead of making the connection of "having" meaning being able to give back or give forward to their successors-family name; a majority seemed to focus on the "appearance of having" instead. But what else do you expect from a people that come from not having much. How does one expect them to know what to do with having if they have never had? It's a learning process with a learning curve.
So they spoke about what they thought it was all about; attaining the materialism that signifies having "made it"… So now the music genre has become a platform to promote the Hedonic Treadmill that keeps minorities down and out of truly being owners of their own music industry and destiny. I digress yet once again.
Now people, whether subconsciously or consciously, get their influence from HipHop. You can find us on the covers of once unimaginable publications such as GQ, Time, New Yorker, Vogue and so on. It can't be denied that HipHop has created a bubble; a world if you may, that perpetuates a mindset of looking fashionable and equating it with some level of success. HipHop has often times busted out many of today's big fashion brands serving as their liaison and marketer to the urban community.
BIG introduced me to Versace.
Jay introduced me to Moschino.
Never Forget, where HipHop came from and the buying power it and its people possess and unfortunately often place in the hands of others.

The upgrade process is simply the case of acquiring the latest version of the software, available on the Interactive Intelligence portal, and running through the upgrade wizard. Note that your license may be limited by version. Please email helpdesk@callscripter.com, attaching a copy of your current license, to request an updated license to permit the upgrade.
We recommend taking full backups of your website and database prior to upgrade to facilitate a restore in the unlikely event of failure.
OPTION ONE (RECOMMENDED): Update all affected controls in all scripts.
Where customers have many scripts and upgrading all affected controls will take time, the following can be added to custom.js; a file that is loaded for every script run where present. This reintroduces the code removed from the core product and allowd older controls which do not call the code directly to continue to function. This code will then be executed whether or not the script requires it, therefore reintroducing the performance overhead associated with versions of CallScripter prior to 4.5.51.


Why? I kept asking myself this question while I read "A Child Called It". What made her beat you the way she did? Not saying that it should have been one of your brothers. Just why did she pin point? I have always heard about child abuse, but never have I ever read of such sick, sadistic things your mother was doing. No one should have to endure such pain and suffering, and saying that is an understatement.
I couldn't begin to tell you the thoughts and feeling that ran through me as I read your book. Though I do not come from an abusive home, I still feel like I connected with you. I put myself in your shoes, so to speak. I cried when you cried, I had that feeling longingness whenever you longed for your well needed freedom. I found myself teary eyed and smiling at your triumphs. I can't shake the feeling that there had to be some reasoning behind it all. Even if she did give a reason that doesn't make up for what she did.
There were times while I was reading this book, that I felt sorry for your mother. Her alcoholism, her depression must have driven her crazy to point were she had to hurt someone, but what she did was so horribly wrong I soon felt no pity for her just malevolence. One person who o really didn't understand was your father. I just couldn't understand why her let it happen. He just drank away his sorrows while you were being beaten savagely. But I guess he lives to the "See No Evil, Hear No evil, Speak No Evil" policy.
It just saddens me to know that this actually happened, and the fact that many children are going through the same situation. It makes me want to go and help all those in need of it. Knowing that there are kids just as scared as you were out there needing someone's help. I wish things like child abuse was never around. Why would anyone want to harm an innocent child?

Pentameris pictigluma var. mannii (synonyme : Pentaschistis mannii) est une sous-espèce de plantes monocotylédones de la famille des Poaceae, sous-famille des Pooideae, endémique du Cameroun.

Description
Les plantes de l'espèce Pentameris pictigluma sont des plantes herbacées vivaces, aux tiges (chaumes) dressées de 8 à 45 cm de long.  Le limbe foliaire, plat ou enroulé, est raide, filiforme ou linéaire, de 2 à 10 cm de long sur 1 à 3 mm de large.
L'inflorescence est une panicule contractée, spiciforme, de 2 à 8 cm de long. Elle regroupe des épillets solitaires, pédicellés, de 4 à 8 mm de long, comprimés latéralement, et comptant deux fleurons fertiles. Ces épillets se désarticulent à maturité sous chaque fleuron fertile.
Les glumes, persistantes, membraneuses, elliptiques, sont similaires et dépassent la longueur de l'épillet.
La lemme des fleurons fertiles, de 2 à 3 mm de long, membraneuse, pubescente, présente de 5 à 9 nervures et est lobée à son apex. Elle compte trois arêtes, la principale, longue de 4 à 7 mm, est géniculée, avec  une colonne torsadée.
Le fruit est un caryopse au péricarpe adhérent.

Distribution et habitat
Cette espèce est endémique du mont Cameroun où elle a été collectée à 20 reprises avant 1988. Elle est absente des montagnes voisines qui présentent un habitat similaire, tels le Bioko ou le mont Oku.

Elle se rencontre dans les pelouses d'altitude, entre 2700 et 4000 m. Son habitat a été décrit comme des « sommets couverts de tapis de mousses sur des sols de cendres volcaniques nues ».

Taxinomie
Ce taxon a d'abord été décrit et publié en 1936 sous le nom de Pentaschistis mannii par Otto Stapf dans le Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information, Royal Gardens, Kew 1936 (9): 501 [18 déc 1936].
Il a par la suite été reclassé comme sous-espèce de Pentameris pictigluma et publié en 2010 par Hans peter Linder et al. dans un article intitulé A generic classification of the Danthonioideae (Poaceae) publié dans Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden 97(3): 306-364.

Étymologie
Le nom générique, « Pentameris », dérive de deux racines grecques, penta (cinq)  et meros (partie), en référence aux lemmes portant cinq arêtes.

L'épithète spécifique, « pictigluma », composée des termes latins picta (peinte), et gluma (glume) fait référence à la pigmentation des glumes.

L'épithète subspécifique, « mannii »,  est un hommage au botaniste allemand, Gustav Mann (1836–1916), qui travailla pour le compte des Jardins botaniques royaux de Kew..

Jane Campion Returns with The Power of the Dog
November 19, 2021 November 20, 2021 Darcy Read
After 12 long years away from the big screen, the extraordinary auteur Jane Campion has returned, backed by Netflix, with an adaptation of Thomas Savage's 1967 American western psychodrama The Power of the Dog (2021). The film centres on two brothers, the charismatic but menacing Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch), and the meek and gentle George (Jesse Plemons), successful Montana ranchers whose lives are quickly changed as George decides to marry the widowed mother Rose (Kirsten Dunst), who brings her doctor-to-be son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee) to live with them on the ranch.
Phil sees this incursion by Rose and Peter as a personal affront to his ideal world and responds by setting out to torture Rose psychologically in a sequence of scenes that has Campion at her venomous best.
The Power of the Dog sits on a knife's edge for the entire runtime, with Campion keeping her cards close to the chest as the drama unfolds with the patience of a long novel. There are four central characters to the film and the audience is unsure throughout who is gaining the upper hand in the family dynamic and the film as a whole.
The film has a certain offbeat cadence in its storytelling. It will sit in quiet moments we are yet to understand the importance of, while other scenes quietly obscure that dramatic temporal shifts in the characters' lives. A more traditional version of this film would climax with a violent confrontation between brothers, but the power of Campion's writing and Savage's prose comes from how we are being led through the fog into an illuminating, yet rather understated final act.
What's always jumped out to me about Campion's writing is her ability to complicate seemingly archetypal characters into three-dimensional figures. There are countless examples in fiction of the sorts of characters in The Power of the Dog, but it's Campion's masterful command of storytelling that blooms in the grey areas, not by reducing everyone down to their lowest moments, but by elevating the humanity of even the most abhorrent figures.
Set in Montana but shot in New Zealand, The Power of the Dog relishes in the rolling hillsides of Campion's homeland that feel overwhelming and mythical all at once. You truly feel the seasons change over the course of the film, from the encroaching white snow on the mountains and the farm which forces the family inside, to the glaring sunlight that ratchets up the tension.
Rose Gordon (Kirsten Dunst) with terror in her eye in The Power of the Dog
Ari Wegner's cinematography powerfully contrasts this natural world that is shot during as much magic hour as could be achieved I'm sure, with the almost German expressionist lighting choices inside the family home, giving those scenes a nightmarish quality. These lighting decisions help emphasise Cumberbatch's angular features into a figure that haunts every inch of the Montana estate.
The Power of the Dog deploys an extraordinary use of both diegetic and nondiegetic music that echoes Campion's breakout feature The Piano (1993), with possibly the first use in cinema of a banjo as an instrument of menace. Phil is constantly heard whistling a melody that buries itself under Rose and the audience's skin that feels unrelenting. This sadistic side of Phil is so well established early in the film that even in the later stages where Campion opens Phil up to the audience, we are still able to see him from Rose's perspective, creating a murkier area for the audience to perceive Phil as a character.
Much has been made of Cumberbatch's performance and it certainly feels like the actor is in career-best form, although I will admit to not being a big fan of his work to date. The power of his performance lies in how Phil works to be outwardly projecting his idea of masculinity, and how that projection changes depending on who he is surrounded by. Campion captures fleeting moments with Phil that illuminate the character in truly spectacular ways, from his attachment to his brother's presence, to how he luxuriates in the brief moments he's able to wash away his protective armour in the river.
The connections to There Will be Blood (2007) are boundless here, even to the point of Plemon's character originally planned to be Paul Dano before scheduling issues intervened. Greenwood's atonal score at times felt like There Will be Blood B-sides but they quickly took on their own shape within this story. There are also moments where Cumberbatch carries a similar menace to Daniel Day Lewis's character, but they are deployed in different and unique ways that work in their respective films. The two films are in conversation with each other visually, sonically, and thematically, with differing views on male desire and its relationship with ambition and cruelty. Both films are also so overpowering on initial watch – for completely different reasons – that repeated viewings feel necessary to fully grasp what you're witnessing.
This film is a classic slow build that is working and growing on you long after you leave the theatre – or your couch as almost all viewers will see it on Netflix – which is common for most Campion films. She has also created an adaptation that truly sucks you into the story to the point of feeling compelled to immediately read Savage's novel. This is not a world I particularly want to linger any longer in but is a story I have a deep desire to see how it compares to Campion's interpretation.
There is a meticulous method to Campion's unfolding narrative that may leave audiences cool and detached as rarely do moments feel spontaneous, which can work wonderfully in some films but detract from others. The Power of the Dog is a film that may feel expanded upon rewatch, as it takes time to fall into its syncopated rhythms. You could reduce the film down to a psychodrama about toxic masculinity, but that feels ultimately reductive to the work Campion is doing here.
The Power of the Dog is in select theatres now and will be available on Netflix December 1st.

A series of free, online video lessons with examples and solutions to help Algebra students learn about conic sections.
By definition, a conic section is a curve obtained by intersecting a cone with a plane. In Algebra II, we work with four main types of conic sections: circles, parabolas, ellipses and hyperbolas. Each of these conic sections has different characteristics and formulas that help us solve various types of problems.
This video shows how you can generate a circle, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola by intersecting a cone with a plan. It is the first of several videos on the conic sections.
How to create the different conic sections.

Macau culls 7,500 chicken over bird flu scare
Mar 13, 2014, 7:08 pm SGT
http://str.sg/v5h
HONG KONG (AFP) - Macau culled 7,500 chicken after discovering the H7-type avian influenza in live poultry for the first time in the city, authorities said on Thursday, adding the birds had been imported from mainland China.
The decision to slaughter the chickens comes after Hong Kong's cull of around 20,000 chicken in January, after the deadly H7N9 bird flu virus was found in poultry also imported from China.
Macau authorities discovered a positive H7 sample in a batch of poultry imported from the mainland Chinese city of Zhuhai on Wednesday.
"To ensure public health, authorities have decided to take decisive action and ordered the emergency measures of culling, sealing off and disinfection," a government statement released Thursday said.
They did not give details on which strain of H7 flu was found.
The cull of the 7,500 chicken started at midnight and lasted six hours, a government spokeswoman told AFP.
Images on the government website showed health officials wearing masks and white protective suits placing chicken in large plastic yellow bags at the Nam Yue Wholesales Market.
The market - Macau's only wholesale market for poultry imports - will be closed for 21 days starting Thursday for disinfection, the government said.
A health department spokesman said that since 1999, there has not been a human case of avian flu in the territory.
In the neighbouring southern Chinese city of Hong Kong, the virus has claimed the lives of three men since December last year, and has infected six in total.
An 18-month-old girl, in the latest case announced in the city, was confirmed to carry the virus earlier this month after having recently returned from mainland China.
Hong Kong officials said last month that they were extending for four months a ban on live poultry imports from mainland China to guard against the disease.
The outbreak, which first emerged on the mainland in February 2013, has reignited fears that a bird flu virus could mutate to become easily transmissible between people, threatening to trigger a pandemic.
A total of 72 people died from the H7N9 bird flu strain in China in the first two months of this year, government figures showed, far more than 46 deaths in the whole of 2013.


Another delicious recipe I modified from the Pampered Chef 29 Minutes to Dinner cookbook.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat grill pan over medium-high heat. Add approximately 1 tbsp olive oil to heated pan. Season both sides of steak with salt and pepper. Cook each side of steak approximately 4 minutes.
2. Place pan in oven and roast 5-7 minutes.
3. As steak cooks, start rice. Cook according to package directions. Chop cilantro while rice and steak cook.
4. Combine A.1. and hot sauce in small bowl. Add juice from lime, 1 tbsp cilantro, and butter to A.1., hot sauce, mix well.
5. To finish rice, mix in queso. Once queso is mixed in well, add remaining cilantro.
6. Microwave butter mixture on high 20 seconds or until melted. Cut steak into slices (I made the mistake of doing this before cooking the steak but it still turned out fine). To plate add slices of steak, drizzle with butter, serve with rice as side dish. I did not measure the queso or cilantro but eyeballed it, about 1/4 small jar of queso, a large handful of cilantro. The measurements included are from the original recipe.
This was a new recipe for my family this week and was a big hit with everyone, especially the rice. Hubby took some pictures for me but unfortunately they didn't turn out. We are headed camping this weekend so I'll be back Monday or Tuesday to catch up on everyone's holiday weekend adventures and hopefully have a few of my own to post.
That cookbook has, honestly, made me a better wife. I adore it.
More cooking!?! Trying to kill me here!?!?
Hmm, great idea for flank steak!
Oh wow. That sounds delicious.
What kind of hot sauce did you use? Was it a chipotle hot sauce?

The Star Wars universe has a storied history containing tales of intrigue that are both canon and non-canon. From theories that Jar Jar Binks is a Sith Lord, to the disturbing lore behind Jawas, almost no stone has been left unturned in a galaxy far, far away.
One story that raised many eyebrows among the fanbase occurred in the Star Wars: Vader – Dark Visions comic book anthology miniseries. Being an anthology series, it showcased a lot of short scripts concerning everyone's favorite Sith Lord; however, the issue that caught the most attention regarded a young woman who was infatuated with the brooding villain.
Written by Dennis "Hopeless" Hallum, the third issue of Dark Visions gave brief insight into Vader's love life post-Padmé. It followed the exploits of an unnamed Imperial nurse who became an obsessed stalker of Darth Vader who believed that she and her idol shared an unspoken bond with one another. The love-starved lady even went so far as to collect scraps of Vader's armor for her personal shrine of him and she endlessly daydreamed about their potential future together.
After running into him on occasion, she finally works up the courage to enter his private chambers and profess her unconditional love for him in person. If you're curious how things ended for Vader's prospective lover, well…
… he killed her. That's right, instead of softly rejecting her advances or attempting to let her down easy, Darth Vader just pierced her through the heart with his lightsaber. Adding insult to injury, he coldly walked away from her corpse before calling the Bridge and asking an assistant to "come get this garbage out of my quarters".
Unsurprisingly, the issue was met with controversy. Particularly with accusations of sexism and misogyny in its portrayal of the woman who had a crush on the Darth Vader and her ultimate demise. We might need an issue of a hapless young man falling in love with Phantasma and getting sabered to death to make things even.
Still, the writing is very true to Vader's character. Remember, this is the same guy who slaughtered a room full of younglings in Revenge of the Sith just to prove himself worth of the Dark Side. At the end of his rampage, he made it obvious that the only one he had any room left for in his cold heart was Padmé who later died, further dooming any potential for future romance in his life.
In a case of art imitating life, it's also not uncommon for real-life murderers to receive everything from love letters to actual marriage proposals from behind bars (not to mention conjugal visits). Ted Bundy and Charles Manson are two high-profile figures who were still able to attract female suitors even after their heinous crimes became known. Luckily they weren't allowed to possess lightsabers in prison.

As soon as COVID-19 struck Kazakhstan or even somewhat earlier responsible local businessmen started to brace for impact. Those who participated in charity begun to accumulate funds and develop programmes to help Kazakhstani people drive through the pandemic. Kenes Rakishev supported his Saby fund. He also aided at least two other charities. Saby foundation, the oldest private charity fund in Kazakhstan, was founded in 2002 by Kenes Rakishev and his spouse Aselle Tasmagambetova.
As for September, Kenes Rakishev and his Saby foundation spent more than one billion tenge for projects specifically targeted to help Kazakhstan to overcome COVID-19 pandemic. Quick response to incoming emergency is key to success. Kazakhstan seems to be cruising the emergency better than many other countries. Part of this success can be attributed to Kenes Rakishev, Aselle Tasmagambetova, Saby fund and their charity partners.
From the first days of the emergency announcement, the Foundation organized a charity event to raise funds for the purchase of express tests for diagnosing coronavirus infection. In total 402 million tenge was collected. This money was used to buy 100,000 Express and 40,000 PCR tests for free testing of the population.
Additionally the co-founder of the Saby Foundation Kenes Rakishev transferred 445,000,000 tenge to the Birgemiz public Fund to provide social support for Kazakhstan's people during the pandemic.
Under the close supervision of Kenges Rakishev and Aselle Tasmagambetova the Saby Foundation purchased a ventilator for medical institutions in Almaty. It amounted 10.5 million tenge. Seven oxygen concentrators in the amount of about three million tenge were also purchased.
Kenes Rakishev is involved in a wide variety of charities, sports development and social projects. He is a member of Youth Policy Council, working under the auspices of the President of Kazakhstan. In December 2014, Rakishev became the Head of the Youth Entrepreneurship Development Council at the National Chamber for Entrepreneurship. He is internationally acknowledged entrepreneur and pioneer.
Kenes Rakishev career started as a councillor for Ministry of Internal affairs of Kazakhstan. Then he chose to switch to pursue the corporate career. He worked in energetics, in «KazTransGaz», «Intergaz Central Asia» and «KazMunayGaz». In 2004 he was appointed as vice-president of «KazTransGaz» and CEO of Kazakhstan petrochemical industry.
In 2006 Kenes Rakishev became the major shareholder and CEO of SAT & Company (KASE: SATC). This company owns and controls around thirty business venues dedicated to oil trade, prospecting, machinery manufacturing, metal smelting and mining. SAT & Company grew rapidly and established itself on international markets by purchasing new assets in China and Turkey. SAT & Company capitalization has passed 500 million USD mark in 2013.
In 2014 Kenes Rakishev was appointed as a chairman of «BTA Bank».
He was at the very beginning of many successful startups. The majority of projects he was involved in are already profitable. Those projects that are still in development are promising to be good investment too. Kenges Rakishev believes that the keys for success are careful selection, personal involvement and experience which results in professional intuition.
One of his well-known venues is NetElement – a world-class company dedicated to online payment technology. NetElement turnover has reached $1.6B in the last year.
Kenges Rakishev is known for his sponsorship of sporting and social initiatives. He supports «Saby» charity fund and is actively supporting development of the Kazakhstan sport. His SAT & Company was an official sponsor of Kazakhstan Football Federation and the Federation of the professional boxing. In 2012 SAT & Company was the main sponsoring entity of the World Fast Chess championship. Kenges Rakishev is elected vice president of Kazakhstan National Sporting Association.
Kenges Rakishev is one of the authors of «Kazanat» book. It is dedicated to the history of the horsemanship in Kazakhstan. The second book, «The Golden eagle» is dedicated to the traditional Kazakh Falconry.

What is a Photograph?
A blockbuster exhibition that explored the age-old question by looking at some of the most cutting-edge, envelope-pushing practitioners of the past 40 years.
Photographs from the exhibition at the International Center For Photography
"…unless an image was created with a camera, it is not photography."
"Photography, by definition, is to draw with light or to make an image with light onto a surface. It does not require any specific technical apparatus to form these marks."
The above quotations come from a discussion that happened on LensCulture's Facebook page, scant days ago. Yet these same kinds of discussions have been echoing around photography for well over a century. Since the medium's inception, people have been arguing about its definition, its boundaries, its materiality and its limits. The arguments continue all the way to the very words, "medium's inception". Did it begin with the first photographic device? The first light-sensitive material? The first camera obscura? Was the first photographer Johann Heinrich Schulze? Thomas Wedgwood? Joseph Nicéphore Niépce? Or was it the first person to use a camera obscura, some thousands of years ago? Does it really matter?
Art, in all its forms, always strives to question itself, redefine itself, and chart new territory. While some would argue that photography must remain tied to its technological, material roots, not everyone agrees.
Enter the International Center of Photography's latest exhibition, "What Is a Photograph?" In the words of the show's curator Carol Squiers, "The show does not answer the question, it poses the question. It is an open question, and that's why I find this period in photography so exciting."
This major exhibition brings together 21 emerging and established artists who have reconsidered and reinvented the role of light, color, composition, materiality, and the subject in the art of photography. Can a photograph be taken without a camera? Well, yes, if we consider the art to be simply "drawing with light".
These artists, whose work spans the past 40 years, have not only stretched the limits of photography's physical materiality but also confronted the digital revolution in the medium. The results are imaginative re-examinations of the art of analog photography, the new world of digital images, and the hybrid creations that both systems can produce.
"Artists around the globe have been experimenting with and redrawing the boundaries of traditional photography for decades," said ICP Curator Carol Squiers, who organized the exhibit. "Although digital photography seems to have made analog obsolete, artists continue to make works that are photographic objects, using both old technologies and new, crisscrossing boundaries and blending techniques."
Among those included in the exhibition is Lucas Samaras, who adopted the newly developed Polaroid camera in the late 1960s and early 1970s and immediately began altering its instant prints, creating fantastical nude self-portraits. Another artist who turned to photography in the 1970s was Sigmar Polke. Although better known as a painter, Polke explored nontraditional ways of photographing and printing, manipulating both his film and prints in the darkroom and often drawing and painting on his images.
More recently, Liz Deschenes has used camera-less photography in a subtle investigation of nonrepresentational forms of expression and the outmoded technologies of photography. And, James Welling has created a heterogeneous body of work that explores optics, human perception, and a range of photographic genres both abstract and representational.
If nothing else, the show (and the catalogue) promise to provoke, stimulate, and call for a reaction. Whether it is a positive or negative one is really up to you.

International Polka Association Appoints New Trustee
November 2, 2015 October 11, 2018 IPA News
Texas Native to Represent Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico
Since the establishment of the IPA Polka Music Hall of Fame and annual Music Awards presentations back in 1968, eleven trustees have governed the processes that select Hall of Fame (HOF) inductees and recognize polka artists with awards. Each trustee is appointed by the IPA president, with the concurrence of the Executive Board, and oversees fourteen other electors chosen to represent a given geographic area of the United States and Canada. These 165 electors participate in the annual voting that elects HOF inductees and music award winners.
To better serve a large portion of the U.S. and its diversity of polka styles, the Executive Board recently approved the recommendation of the Polka Music Hall of Fame and Music Awards Committee to establish a new trustee position to represent Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. This additional position brings the number of trustees up to twelve, which will in turn increase the number of national electors to 180. To fill the new trustee position, the Executive Board chose Danny Zapletal, one of several qualified candidates identified by the committee. Danny "Z" is an Ennis, Texas native who has been involved with the Ennis National Polka Festival for many years. He was appointed vice-president in 1992, president in 1993, and has served as the festival's executive director since 2000. He is the host of two polka shows broadcast in both Texas and Wisconsin. As a trumpet player, Danny joined the Texas Dutchmen back in 1980 and now leads and performs with the Czech and Then Some band. He also owns a recording studio where most of the polka bands from northern Texas record. Danny is proud and knowledgeable of his Czech heritage but is also familiar with all polka styles. The IPA welcomes Danny to its academy of electors and looks forward to leveraging his knowledge in serving the polka industry at large.
