Executive summary: Northern Renaissance portraitist
Hans Holbein the Younger, German painter, favorite son of Hans Holbein the Elder, was probably born at Augsburg about the year 1497. Though Sandrart and Van Mander declare that they do not know who gave him the first lessons, he doubtless received an artist's education from his father. About 1515 he left Augsburg with Ambrose, his elder brother, to seek employment as an illustrator of books at Basel. His first patron is said to have been Erasmus, for whom, shortly after his arrival, he illustrated with pen-and-ink sketches an edition of the Encomium Moriae, now in the museum of Basel. But his chief occupation was that of drawing titlepage blocks and initials for new editions of the Bible and classics issued from the presses of Froben and other publishers. His leisure hours, it is supposed, were devoted to the production of rough painter's work, a schoolmaster's sign in the Basel collection, a table with pictures of St. Nobody in the library of the university at Zürich. In contrast with these coarse productions, the portraits of Jacob Meyer and his wife in the Basel museum, one of which purports to have been finished in 1516, are miracles of workmanship. It has always seemed difficult indeed to ascribe such excellent creations to Holbein's nineteenth year; and it is hardly credible that he should have been asked to do things of this kind so early, especially when it is remembered that neither he nor his brother Ambrose were then allowed to matriculate in the guild of Basel. Not until 1517 did Ambrose, whose life otherwise remains obscure, join that corporation; Hans, not overburdened with practice, wandered into Switzerland, where (1517) he was employed to paint in the house of Jacob Hertenstein at Lucerne. In 1519 Holbein reappeared at Basel, where he matriculated and, there is every reason to think, married. Whether, previous to this time, he took advantage of his vicinity to the Italian border to cross the Alps is uncertain. Van Mander says that he never was in Italy; yet the large wall-paintings which he executed after 1519 at Basel, and the series of his sketches and pictures which is still extant, might lead to the belief that Van Mander was misinformed. The spirit of Holbein's compositions for the Basel town hall, the scenery and architecture of his numerous drawings, and the cast of form in some of his imaginative portraits, make it more likely that he should have felt the direct influence of North Italian painting than that he should have taken Italian elements from imported works or prints. The Swiss at this period wandered in thousands to swell the ranks of the French or imperial armies fighting on Italian soil, and the road they took may have been followed by Hans on a more peaceful mission. He shows himself at all events familiar with Italian examples at various periods of his career; and if we accept as early works the "Flagellation", and the "Last Supper" at Basel, coarse as they are, they show some acquaintance with Lombard methods of painting, while in other pieces, such as the series of the Passion in oil in the same collection, the modes of Hans Holbein the Elder are agreeably commingled with a more modern, it may be said Italian, polish. Again, looking at the "Virgin" and "Man of Sorrows" in the Basel museum, we shall be struck by a searching metallic style akin to that of the Ferrarese; and the "Lais" or the "Venus and Amor" of the same collection reminds us of the Leonardesques of the school of Milan. When Holbein settled down to an extensive practice at Basel in 1519, he decorated the walls of the house "Zum Tanz" with simulated architectural features of a florid character after the fashion of the Veronese; and his wall paintings in the town hall, if we can truly judge of them by copies, reveal an artist not unfamiliar with North Italian composition, distribution, action, gesture and expression. In his drawings too, particularly in a set representing the Passion at Basel, the arrangement, and also the perspective, form and decorative ornament, are in the spirit of the school of Mantegna. Contemporary with these, however, and almost inexplicably in contrast with them as regards handling, are portrait drawings such as the likenesses of Jacob Meyer, and his wife, which are finished with German delicacy, and with a power and subtlety of hand seldom rivalled in any school. Curiously enough, the same contrast may be observed between painted compositions and painted portraits. The "Bonifacius Amerbach" of 1519 at Basel is acknowledged to be one of the most complete examples of smooth and transparent handling that Holbein ever executed. His versatility at this period is shown by a dead Christ (1521), a corpse in profile on a dissecting table, and a set of figures in couples; the "Madonna and St. Pantalus", and "Kaiser Henry with the Empress Kunigunde" (1522), originally composed for the organ loft of the Basel cathedral, now in the Basel museum. Equally remarkable, but more attractive, though injured, is the "Virgin and Child between St. Ursus and St. Nicholas" (not St. Martin) giving alms to a beggar, in the gallery of Solothurn. This remarkable picture is dated 1522, and seems to have been ordered for an altar in the minster of St. Ursus of Solothurn by Nicholas Conrad, a captain and statesman of the 16th century, whose family allowed the precious heirloom to fall into decay in a chapel of the neighboring village of Grenchen. Numerous drawings in the spirit of this picture, and probably of the same period in his career, might have led Holbein's contemporaries to believe that he would make his mark in the annals of Basel as a model for painters of altarpieces as well as a model for pictorial composition and portrait. The promise which he gave at this time was immense. He was gaining a freedom in draughtsmanship that gave him facility to deal with any subject. Though a realist, he was sensible of the dignity and severity of religious painting. His color had almost all the richness and sweetness of the Venetians. But he had fallen on evil times, as the next few years undoubtedly showed. Amongst the portraits which he executed in these years are those of Froben, the publisher, known only by copies at Basel and Hampton Court, and Erasmus, who sat in 1523, as he likewise did in 1530, in various positions, showing his face threequarters as at Longford, Basel, Turin, Parma, the Hague and Vienna, and in profile as in the Louvre or at Hampton Court. Besides these, Holbein made designs for glass windows, and for woodcuts, including subjects of every sort, from the Virgin and Child with saints of the old time to the Dance of Death, from gospel incidents extracted from Martin Luther's Bible to satirical pieces illustrating the sale of indulgences and other abuses denounced by Reformers. Holbein, in this way, was carried irresistibly with the stream of the Reformation, in which, it must now be admitted, the old traditions of religious painting were wrecked, leaving nothing behind but unpictorial elements which Lucas Cranach and his school vainly used for pictorial purposes.
Once only, after 1526, and after he had produced the "Lais" and "Venus and Amor", did Holbein with impartial spirit give his services and pencil to the Roman Catholic cause. The burgomaster Meyer, whose patronage he had already enjoyed, now asked him to represent himself and his wives and children in prayer before the Virgin; and Holbein produced the celebrated altarpiece now in the palace of Prince William of Hesse at Darmstadt, the shape and composition of which are known to all the world by its copy in the Dresden museum. The drawings for this masterpiece are amongst the most precious relics in the museum of Basel. The time now came when art began to suffer from unavoidable depression in all countries north of the Alps. Holbein, at Basel, was reduced to accept the smallest commissions -- even for scutcheons. Then he saw that his chances were dwindling to nothing, and taking a bold resolution, armed with letters of introduction from Erasmus to Sir Thomas More, he crossed the Channel to England, where in the one-sided branch of portrait painting he found an endless circle of clients. Eighty-seven drawings by Holbein in Windsor Castle, containing an equal number of portraits, of persons chiefly of high quality, testify to his industry in the years which divide 1528 from 1543. They are all originals of pictures that are still extant, or sketches for pictures that were lost or never carried out. Sir Thomas More, with whom he seems to have had a very friendly connection, sat to him for likenesses of various kinds. The drawing of his head is at Windsor. A pen-and-ink sketch, in which we see More surrounded by all the members of his family, is now in the gallery of Basel, and numerous copies of a picture from it prove how popular the lost original must once have been. At the same period were executed the portraits of William Warham (Lambeth and Louvre), Wyatt (Louvre), Sir Henry Guildford and his wife (Windsor), all finished in 1527, the astronomer Nicholas Kratzer (Louvre), Thomas Godsalve (Dresden), and Sir Bryan Tuke (Munich) in 1528. In this year, 1528, Holbein returned to Basel, taking to Erasmus the sketch of More's family. With money which he brought from London he purchased a house at Basel wherein to lodge his wife and children, whose portraits he now painted with all the care of a husband and father (1528). He then witnessed the flight of Erasmus and the fury of the iconoclasts, who destroyed in one day almost all the religious pictures at Basel. The municipality, unwilling that he should suffer again from the depression caused by evil times, asked him to finish the frescoes of the town hall, and the sketches from these lost pictures are still before us to show that he had not lost the spirit of his earlier days, and was still capable as a composer. His "Rehoboam receiving the Israelite Envoys" and "Saul at the Head of his Array meeting Samuel" testify to Holbein's power and his will, also proved at a later period by the "Triumphs of Riches and Poverty", executed for the Steelyard in London (but now lost), to prefer the fame of a painter of history to that of a painter of portraits. But the reforming times still remained unfavorable to art. With the exception of a portrait of Philipp Melanchthon (Hanover) which he now completed, Holbein found little to do at Basel. The year 1530, therefore, saw him again on the move, and he landed in England for the second time with the prospect of bettering his fortunes. Here indeed political changes had robbed him of his earlier patrons. The circle of More and Warham was gone. But that of the merchants of the Steelyard took its place, for whom Holbein executed the long and important series of portraits that lie scattered throughout the galleries and collections of England and the Continent, and bear date after 1532. Then came again the chance of practice in more fashionable circles. In 1533 the "Ambassadors" (National Gallery), and the "Triumphs of Wealth and Poverty" were executed, then the portraits of Leland and Wyatt (Longford), and (1534) the portrait of Thomas Cromwell. Through Cromwell Holbein probably became attached to the court, in the pay of which he appears permanently after 1537. From that time onwards he was connected with all that was highest in the society of London. King Henry VIII invited him to make a family picture of himself, his father and family, which obtained a post of honor at Whitehall. The beautiful cartoon of a part of this fine piece at Hardwicke Hall enables us to gauge its beauty before the fire which destroyed it in the 17th century. Then Holbein painted Jane Seymour in state (Vienna), employing some English hand perhaps to make the replicas at the Hague, Sion House and Woburn; he finished the Southwell of the Uffizi (copy at the Louvre), the jeweller Morett at Dresden, and last, not least, Christine of Denmark, who gave sittings at Brussels in 1538. During the journey which this work involved Holbein took the opportunity of revisiting Basel, where he made his appearance in silk and satin, and pro forma only accepted the office of town painter. He had been living long and continuously away from home, not indeed observing due fidelity to his wife, who still resided at Basel, but fairly performing the duties of keeping her in comfort. His return to London in autumn enabled him to do homage to the king in the way familiar to artists. He presented to Henry at Christmas a portrait of Prince Edward. Again abroad in the summer of 1539, he painted with great fidelity the princess Anne of Cleves, at Düren near Cologne, whose form we still see depicted in the great picture of the Louvre. That he could render the features of his sitter without flattery is plain from this one example. Indeed, habitual flattery was contrary to his habits. His portraits up to this time all display that uncommon facility for seizing character which his father enjoyed before him, and which he had inherited in an expanded form. No amount of labor, no laboriousness of finish -- and of both he was ever prodigal -- betrayed him into loss of resemblance or expression. No painter was ever quicker at noting peculiarities of physiognomy, and it may be observed that in none of his faces, as indeed in none of the faces one sees in nature, are the two sides alike. Yet he was not a child of the 16th century, as the Venetians were, in substituting touch for line. We must not look in his works for modulations of surface or subtle contrasts of color in juxtaposition. His method was to the very last delicate, finished and smooth, as became a painter of the old school.
Amongst the more important creations of Holbein's later time we should note his "Duke of Norfolk" at Windsor, the hands of which are so perfectly preserved as to compensate for the shrivel that now disfigures the head. Two other portraits of 1541 (Berlin and Vienna), the Falconer at the Hague, and John Chambers at Vienna (1542), are noble specimens of portrait art; most interesting and of the same year are the likenesses of Holbein himself, of which several examples are extant -- one particularly good at Fahna, the seat of the Stackelberg family near Riga, and another at the Uffizi in Florence. Here Holbein appears to us as a man of regular features, with hair just turning grey, but healthy in color and shape, and evidently well to do in the world. Yet a few months only separated him then from his deathbed. He was busy painting a picture of Henry the VIII confirming the Privileges of the Barber Surgeons (Lincoln's Inn Fields), when he sickened of the plague and died after making a will about November 1543. His loss must have been seriously felt in England. Had he lived his last years in Germany, he would not have changed the current which decided the fate of painting in that country; he would but have shared the fate of Albrecht Dürer and others who merely prolonged the agony of art amidst the troubles of the Reformation.

well... this one actually worked!
the recipe actually comes from My New Roots, an amazing healthy-eating blog from a vegetarian nutritionist, and you can find it here.
we had recently bought dates at the bodega for salads, so when i came across this recipe using dates, i knew i had to try it! i'm not sure how readily available medjool dates are in your area, but they are delicious and a MUST buy if you ever come across them!
then added the rest of the ingredients.
then molded the mixture to a parchment-paper-lined pan.
blitzed walnuts, cocoa and salt added.
smashed it in with a meat tenderizer to get it smooth and molded in tightly!


Any feedback on this? As a wordpress platform it would be really good if we could take advantage of the new relic wordpress monitoring.
Thanks Paul. Would a docker image suit the same needs?. Assume so. We are leaning towards it for the exact same problem you mention.
Hi Guys, another option for this is to just install apt-clone on the server. We can then use that to replicate the installed modules on a local/dev server.
If i could edit the title I would change it to allow us to replicate server locally. Vagrant, Docker or apt-clone are all valid ways to do this.
Personally I prefer Vagrant it has a slightly different use case to docker, because it works with any virtual infrastructure, I think its even included a docker provisioner as well.
I think the learning curve with Vagrant is less, and people can use whatever they already have, so you might find it easier to hit a wider userbase with Vagrant.
IF you go down the docker route, just provide a simple vagrant file so we can provision that, it is really just a single file, so would help.
Im going against the grain here and saying I dont want you to offer a reseller service. Your already a reseller of server space in a way. Every company i have seen go down this route, grow too fast and the customers suffer. Stick to providing a good platform for those who need it.
Understand your problem but don't think we are big enough to put the kind of pressure needed for this. Currently they only offer mailboxes in US and, for what we know, have no plans to support mailboxes in EU.
In any case, we have raised this already with our Rackspace manager and will add the feature as soon as they have it available.

The Neue Sammlung is planning a publicly accessible display storeroom. Measuring approximately 540 square meters, the space earmarked for this purpose already exists on the second basement level in the west wing of the Pinakothek der Moderne, with direct access to its exhibition rooms. The display storeroom will enable the Design Museum to present its holdings more extensively and in a very unique and original way. Like sequences of images on a storyboard, objects will be placed in configurations to visualize a variety of themes. These may be connected by material or form, or by country or time period. The visitor consequently not only gains an insight into the history of the collection of the oldest design museum in the world, but also into the topical issues of modern and contemporary
design. In the display storeroom, the objects exhibited and presented will tell a different story, one of diversity, of the contemporaneity of the uncontemporary, of the progression of an idea and its realization.

These institutions, which have become a national network for innovation, are the envy of the world and are responsible for many of the products, services, and industries that have changed the way we live and yet we often take for granted.
The impact of our universities also is evident in how we address national priorities from security and defense, to public health and economic prosperity at home and competitiveness abroad.
Research universities—with their multifaceted mission of research, teaching, and service—are the key to educational access for millions and constitute the first link in a chain of basic knowledge leading to applications that have revolutionized modern life. They also underlie the economic and social growth that has seen our nation climb from a colony in rebellion to a global leader.
The future of this engine for innovation is uncertain—as the nation's long commitment to investment in scientific research and development has begun to erode under the pressure to provide short-term budgetary relief.
Funding for our public universities, which educate 70 percent of all undergraduates, has declined to the point where the cost of a college education rests increasingly on the backs of our students.
The concept of the research university in America emerged in the 19th century, but it was the Morrill Act of 1862 that established the nation's land-grant colleges and the first— uniquely American—public research universities. Not only did this landmark legislation serve to democratize educational opportunities and create new expectations of public access, it also charged these public universities with the responsibility of actively putting knowledge into practice. One hundred and fifty years later, these universities are home to the basic scientific research that is a foundation for both breakthroughs in technology and for economic development. Together with private universities, public research universities generate the vast majority of the nation's study of the pure basic science that is vital to our knowledge base.
The main source for investment in this endeavor is the federal government. In 2009, academic institutions accounted for more than half of the nation's basic research. And of the $32.6 billion in academic research and development funding from the government that year, about 60 percent was invested in public research universities.
I'll use my university as an example of the economic impact of public research institutions: A 2009 study of the University of Illinois and its medical enterprise showed a $13.1 billion impact on our state economy, including the creation of more than 150,000 jobs. Innovative research at the University of Illinois alone has led to 34 start-up companies and nearly 300 new patents over the last five years. This is a return from one university.
The numbers are compelling, but they don't tell the full story of how university-based research touches lives. Consider just a few of the products resulting from basic research by universities and colleges funded by the National Science Foundation: bar-code scanners, computer-assisted design, improved biofuels, fish farming, tissue transplants, forensic DNA analysis, revolutionary weather-sensing networks, and, from the University of Illinois, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and the first graphical Internet browser.
The work of research universities is the bedrock of our nation's scientific, technological, and economic growth and of much of our commercial R&D. When industries have been unwilling to invest in the early stages of research where risks are high and returns are unknown, universities step in. And when their gambles are rewarded, the outcomes are added to the public domain where industries and corporations and private individuals build on them. Lasers, MRI technology, restriction enzymes, and many computer technologies are all discoveries that have been used in ways that would astound those who discovered them. This is what some call the Innovation Ecosystem, which is essential to America's global economic and innovation status and rests on the nation's collective investment in research universities.
Yet funding for our public universities, which educate 70 percent of all undergraduates, has declined to the point where the cost of a college education rests increasingly on the backs of our students.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 mandates reductions in federal spending of about $1 trillion over the next nine years. This is a short-term budget fix with a devastatingly high cost to the long-term productivity of our economy and the vitality of our society. The result in 2013 alone: a $12.5-billion reduction in federally financed research and, according to the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, the loss to the economy of an estimated 200,000 jobs.
America's global standing is enviable, but in danger of eroding. We simply can't afford to curb key research efforts and undermine university-powered economic activity. It is ironic and alarming that other nations are fast emulating the federal-government/ research-university partnership that has made the United States the world's technological and scientific giant even as the danger of that model's systematic dismantling here at home becomes increasingly apparent.
Our strategic federal investment in our universities has provided immense dividends to the nation and to the world for generations now. It is a commitment we cannot abandon.

My name is Léo Ray, I am 37 years old. I was born and raised in Lyon, which is a city in the centre of France. I now live in the South of France for half of the year and I am traveling the other half.
When did you first decide that you wanted to one day fly?
A friend of mine gave me the contact of a skydiving instructor and that was it; 4 days later I was stepping onto an airplane with parachute on my back. I did the classic AFF (American name) or PAC (French name) formation to become an autonomous Skydiver in a week.
What was it like the first time you flew using a wing suit? What thoughts went through your head?
The first time felt like, Finally!!! because it took me over 150 jumps to be allowed to do my first Wingsuit Skydive. I was incredibly excited and scared at the same time. Once in the air It felt a lot more natural and intuitive than I thought it would be, possibly because I was using a small Wingsuit at first and also because I had been practicing a lot of training jumps wearing large clothes and taking the same body position in order to get as close as possible to a Wingsuit flight.
Who would you recommend flying to (what sort of person)?
Today, anyone can find their way to flight; there are so many different possibilities. From wind tunnels, tandem skydives, paragliding, flying ULM (ultralight) planes, solo skydives, event tandem base jumps… It basically depends on your mentality, physical capacity and your body awareness. If you dream about it there will be a way to do it! It will depend on the time, energy and effort you are willing to put into it.
What is the easiest thing about flying?
The easiest thing compared with other sports is that for quite a small physical energy cost you get an incredible mental and physiological reward.
Besides being responsible for your mistakes, the hardest thing is probably to plan and to achieve the best progression road to reach your goals. It is generally quite long. Too slow feels like you are wasting your time and money and will never reach your goals. Too fast might put you in big trouble later on if you skip important learning steps.
What does flying teach you?
Discipline, patience, decision making and responsibility.
A typical day of flying would be a Wingsuit flight off a cliff. It would start early in the morning from the landing area or at the beginning of the hike where we meet with other jumpers and leave our cars.
For a new jump I would have tried to collect as much information about the jump as far in advance as possible. There can be no improvisation the day of the jump.
Today there is a lot information available from other jumpers, from our GPS data, from Google Earth and other apps that allow us to see precisely the shape of the mountain face we are planning to fly. The goal being of course to make sure that we are capable of making it with some margin. We need to make sure the forecast is accurate and take into consideration any local weather effects such as thermals that could help us or interfere with our plans.
Choosing the people you go with is important. It's best to choose people you know well, who you can trust. Choose people with experience in the place you are going to and who are able to understand your level and personal experience in order not to influence you to do something you shouldn't do.
Try to prepare as much as possible for the hike. Carefully consider what to take with you; how much food, water and clothes are necessary if things go well, or how much you need if you get stuck at the top or if you need to hike down. Make sure you can reach and get reached by others anywhere, anytime. Charged radios can be useful in some spots where cellphone coverage is not good.
Can you describe the mental process you go through prior to the jump?
Before a jump I basically go through a check list of important things like gear, weather and environment, mental and physical condition. I try to take as many points as possible into consideration. I use a system I like to call the "Red/Orange/Green Light Check List" which basically helps me feel what is safe and what's not in what I am planning on doing.
The more green lights the better, some orange lights require special focus and attention, and if there are over two red lights then the jump will not be attempted. Then I go through some visualisation of what I will need to do from the exit to the landing including different options possible if things don't go as initially planned. Having a Plan A is great but having a Plan B and a Plan C are critical. Sometimes that Plan C can be the key to getting yourself out of tricky spots. Finally, I go through a mental process together with some breathing exercises, which help me to empty my mind of all unnecessary thoughts as well as some stress in order to be as clear-minded as possible when performing the jump.
It seems to be a dangerous sport – is it?
BASE jumping is a sport where the margin for error is quite small and the consequences of a mistake can be huge. The sport has grown and evolved quite a lot over the past few years. I believe there are a lot of tools today to help you practice in a relatively safe way when doing everything responsibly. Knowing yourself, your capacities and vulnerabilities is important as well as respecting each and every learning step instead of skipping some, as people are all tempted to do at some point. Skydiving on the other hand can be considered a safe sport. For example, If you are interested in doing a tandem skydive keep in mind that in France, after hundreds of thousands of jumps over the last few decades, nobody has died from it.

Q: Comparing two dataframes in pandas for all values greater than the other I have two data frames with numeric values.
I want to compare both of them and check if one has all values greater than the other.
I have a formula say where mean is mr and variance is vr and alpha is a scalar value, then I want to check if the dataframe r > (mr + alpha * vr) where mr is a dataframe with mean values and vr is variance dataframe. R is an individual dataframe for comparison.
if(r>(mr+alpha*vr)) :
   do something

For example my r DataFrame is r=pd.DataFrame({"a":[5,1,8,9,10],"b":[4,5,6,7,8],"c":[11,12,12,14,15]}) and the other part entirely on the right is say toCompare=pd.DataFrame({"a":[6,7,8,9,10],"b":[2,3,5,6,6],"c":[4,5,17,8,9]})
So r>toCompare should result True,since elements in "b" are greater.

A: I needed to just check if all values are True in the DataFrame. I got this to work finally. It was a bit difficult to figure in the large piece of code.
any((r>(mr+alpha*vr)).any())

Q: Open Office Slow Save I have a 500 page work history (only 330 kb) that I like to keep so I can search for things I've done.
When I used Word 2000, its format, and a regular hard drive it took 1 second to save.
Now with a SSD and Open Office it takes 15 seconds.  It maxes out one of my CPU cores even if I just added a single character to the file.
I'm using Open Document Text format. Is this the best one?
Open Office 3.4.1.
I gave Open Office more RAM (128mb), but that didn't help.

A: Having Open Office save it in Word 97/2000 format is the fastest solution I've found.  The load time is slower, but the saving is down to two seconds.

I've been having some problems with the duplicati Canary build 2.0.3.6 on an Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS system and I want to go back to 2.0.3.3.
All seems well, however when I log into the Web UI, and go to the About page, I see that I am still on version 2.0.3.6. This version was installed through an automatic update, and not using dpkg. How do I go about removing it so that I can be running only on 2.0.3.3?
Check the ~/.config/Duplicati folder for updates of duplicati. Those should be removed as well.
I wiped that Directory and re-installed as I had done previously, and now the About screen confirms version 2.0.3.3. Thanks for your help!
I've flagged @Wim_Jansen's post as the solution, but am curious if you're running Duplicati as a service / daemon or just the tray-icon?
I'd like to update the Downgrading / reverting to a lower version post to reflect where you found the updates.
Thanks @JonMikelV - yep @Wim_Jansen gave me the pointer I needed to resolve this issue.
I'm running Duplicati as a service. Sometimes if I have a desktop session open I run the tray icon, but I manually created a separate Xfce menu entry for this as I found that the default menu entry on Ubuntu 16.04 causes Duplicati to start running as a backup server, but under and unprivileged user. This would be fine under certain circumstances, but I want to back up /etc and other key system paths. All depends on your use case I guess.
Yes, the standard menu entry is meant for single-user systems, where the user always has a desktop active.

Hakuhou caught watching Judo
By Kintamayama, August 2, 2021 in Ozumo Discussions
Hakuhou was seen on social media at the the Budokan watching the Olympic judo matches. "This is a huge problem," said Shibatayama Oyakata. "It's no misunderstanding. It's lack of common sense. He is not abiding by the virus rules. It's a total disregard of the rules. The virus is wreaking havoc and he doesn't seem to get it. This is not something small like a misunderstanding. It's a national decision after all.." he added. "The government has decided there would be no spectators. Seeing a picture of Hakuhou as a spectator is very bad,. If he wanted to go , he should have officially presented us with a written request for deliberation. If it were an official request from the Government that's one thing, but a request from the Mongolian committee would not be enough.. Does he know someone from the organizing committee? From the JOC? His being there is funny. All spectators are banned from the venues, so why should he be different? I wonder if he understands the gravity of his mistake here. If he doesn't understand it, he shouldn't be a Yokozuna! We just had the YDC scold him for his 14th day un- Yokozuna -like actions, and right after that, he goes and does this? It wouldn't be strange if anyone questions if he is worthy of being a Yokozuna, or even if he is worthy of being a Kyokai member! We now can't say the top guy is patient, so you guys should be patient as well!" added Shibatayama. A picture of Hakuhou was posted on July 28th on the head of the International Judo Federation's Chairman Marius Vizer's Twitter account. There was a picture of him sitting between Japanese medalist Ono and Chairman Vizer. A lot of questions being asked on social media, most of them along the lines of "Who the %^^&^% does he think he is??"
Hakuhou is the Mongolian Olympic Ambassador and he was present at the signing of the partnership between the Olympic committees of the two countries back in September of 2015. He was probably there In that capacity. A phone call to Miyagino beya asking if the Oyakata allowed this, Miyagino Oyakata answered that he could not comment on that.
So Hakuhou is taking part in the Olympics after all.

So if his being there was as the Mongolian Olympic ambassador, could that possibly make all of this a misunderstanding? One would hate to see him banished from sumo altogether over this.
Just now, Michishige said:
Not according to the fuming Shibatayama Oyakata..

He's only one board member…I suppose we can hope he isn't representative of the rest (though that's probably silly on my part).

It will be interesting to see if there's anything to this certainly. There is no question that Hakuho is going to have a more difficult time as an oyakata than he has had as a rikishi.

OR, it just could be some chest-banging on the part of the Kyokai who need to be seen taking this very seriously. I don't think the Kyokai will enter into a head on collision with the Mongolian Olympic Committee.
But I think they are serious. We shall see.
Weird reaction by Shibatayama. Even if it's the case that Hakuho didn't ask for permission, or didn't ask in the right way, this is an international incident potential kind of thing where the proper public reaction probably would have been to play it down rather than up. It's not like it would have been difficult to portray Hakuho's visit as official rather than private, given his aforementioned connections to the Olympic Movement.
Seiyashi 1,974
The key, it would appear, is what Hakuho thought he was doing. If he was invited by the MOC to appear as a guest or a medal presenter or something in a formal capacity, then it seems a whole lot of hot air from Shibatayama. It might also be the board trying to pull a fast one to send the message "You're not the only yokozuna we have any more" - that smacks very heavily of retrospective rulings, but that's not logic that has stopped the NSK before. Because apart from the rule against spectators, what rule has he broken that the NSK has power to punish him for?
But we all seem to be assuming that he was indeed invited by the MOC in some capacity. If, as Shibatayama sort of makes it sound, he just snuck in leveraging on his connections, then that's a different matter altogether, although I wouldn't put it past Hakuho just simply not caring about what the board or the YDC say any more.
That said, anyone else getting flashbacks to a certain soccer match played allegedly on behalf of a joint request by Mongolia and Japan's Foreign Affairs Ministry?

At least he had the accreditation name tag, even it was hidden in his yukata.
But yeah, I think the reason Hakuho didn't have his dohyo-iri during opening ceremony was because NSK simply didn't allow Hakuho to do anything outside sumo (due to Covid is NSK's reason)
Soooo, suspension, retirement recommendation, or even dismissal for Hakuho?

That is a nice yukata he's wearing. If he goes down for this, well, he looked good doing it.Does anyone know if Shohei Ono is a sumo or Hakuho fan?
This situation represents the intellectual level of NSK and shows that they are jealous of his achievements that they do not have. Looks like just brain-ducking.
Of course Yokozuna should be responsible for all his actions much more than jonokuchi wrestler, but there is no tradition to constantly comment every Hakuho's action, including things that do not violate rules such as his behavior on day 14 - it's not correct for Yokozuna, but it also doesn't go against the rules of shikiri. As well as kachiage. Which were not hizi-uchi (elbow hit) but kachiage.
Hakuho is the national team ambassador, he is not the last man connected to Judo and he has the right to attend these games, even if he is a jonokuchi rikishi or yobidashi.
From the point of view of the virus, he did nothing risky, since there are no spectators at the Games.
I think Shibatayama who was one of the worst Yokozuna in sumo and as oyakata was regularly beating Dayubu should not be in NSK, but not Hakuho)
Hakuho did a lot of bad things that go against traditions of sumo, remember situation with Mono-ii when he didn't agree that he lost, but in terms of justice he was always right. Not like Asashoryu, who played football when he was having medical treatment in Mongolia…

It surely will be yet another unpopular opinion, but I start to question myself why would Hakuho pursue a career as an Oyakata at all.
Imagine a day where Hakuho announces his retirement and completely cuts his relationship with the NSK and instead do some private project for his future, denying this pseudo-zealous clique that is the NSK many opportunities to defame him. I want Hakuho to give them a small hint of such possibility just to see what the reaction will be.

Did the thought never enter into Shibatayama's mind that maybe he should get some clarification on any of these things before running to the media crying? Maybe then he wouldn't have to openly gab to the media about how he "probably pulled some strings" to get in when he has absolutely no knowledge of what happened yet. This is rando on Twitter level speculation. What an absolutely hamfisted reaction.
He's wearing a name tag in the photo, so obviously he's not just there to watch. Go and find out who approved it and why, and maybe then draw your conclusions.
Can't believe these are the same people who banned wrestlers from using social media because they "might say something stupid."

Bone broth is made by simmering animal bones and tissue for at least 10 hours with veggies, herbs, and spices such as thyme, garlic, and also bay leaves. Premium bone broth starts with top notch ingredients, making use of bones from natural grass-fed pets as well as organic veggies.

Simmering bones for a prolonged amount of time is what gives bone broth its wellness benefits, removing the amino acids, minerals, as well as collagen. This is a Kettle & Fire-tested slow stove poultry bone broth recipe that features organic poultry bones, sea salt, fresh veggies like celery stalks, onions, and bell peppers, and herbs like parsley, rosemary, and thyme.
Simply cooking bones (no meat) and also water is mosting likely to be primarily tasteless. Food preparation the mixture for hrs on end isn't going to make it taste any type of better.
The idea that you're obtaining lots of nutrients from the bones is a MISCONCEPTION that won't die, even though it has been exposed countless times, consisting of through laboratory examinations. The idea that adding vinegar to "launch" those nutrients has also been disproved. You simply end up with a watery mess that tastes of vinegar.
Instead, buy bones with meat on them. After that include veggies such as onions, carrots, celery, and also just enough water to cover whatever (generally 8 or 10 mugs). Avoid the vinegar! Simmer for 3 to 4 hrs for chicken, a little much longer for beef. Season according to preference. If you have an Immediate Pot, 25 to 35 minutes is about right.
What you will certainly get with this approach is an extremely savory broth that's probably dramatically much more healthy-- consisting of lots of collagen-- and more healthful than any type of bone broth, and also it will taste one hell of a whole lot better. You can either consume the meat and also veggies (it's called SOUP) or you can stress them out as well as simply drink the broth if you favor.
Inspect Ina Garten's recipe for poultry broth. It's really comparable to this set and also has been made use of with mild variations by well-informed chefs for decades.
Routine broth and stock are simmered for a shorter time period than bone broth, roughly 2-- 6 hrs. The expedited food preparation procedure minimizes the quantity of valuable gelatin drawn out from the bones, decreasing its ability to enhance the body immune system, heal digestion problems, and also reduce the symptoms of leaking digestive tract.
Before Kettle and Fire was born, among our co-founders, Nick, tore his ACL playing soccer (ouch). His sibling Justin became aware of the benefits of bone broth for injury healing. As his timetable really did not leave much time to make bone broth from square one, he laid out to get a store-bought, premium, grass-fed bone broth, since both of their active schedules didn't leave much time to make the broth themselves.

I was on a bus to Dublin a couple of weeks ago when I overheard a couple chatting behind me. The girl was complaining to her boyfriend about how she thought the football was over. The guy said: "No, the World Cup is over. The club season is starting now in a bit". "And when does that finish?" she asked? "May," he said.
I couldn't help but laugh to myself. I'd had this conversation before with my own girlfriend a couple of times before; I'm sure a lot of you have. It got me wondering about the bond between the game and the fanatic, and how it must affect us in our everyday lives.
It's odd to think that two different sets of fans – say, Manchester United and Dundalk, for example – who have been handed such contrasting sets of emotion over the years, could both still love their clubs equally – but they do. A love for football is generally one of the few constants in a fan's life and the love for your particular football club is absolutely unconditional; even when it's not particularly fair. Why, though?
That struggle sometimes becomes a Venn diagram of football and politics. The €18,000 fine Dundalk were handed by UEFA last week for the flying of Palestinian flags during the Hajduk Split game is as disproportionate as it is unjust.
There is a notion that football and politics is intrinsically linked and it's hard to argue otherwise. You see it every weekend in football stadia across Europe. It can be the Basque-only policy of Athletic Club De Bilbao, or the Catalan flag flying over Camp Nou; the hundreds of tricolours that fly proudly in Celtic Park or the union jacks that adorn Ibrox.
Whether that is right or wrong is not for anyone to decide or make judgements upon – certainly not UEFA. What I love most about football is that it brings people together across religious divides, geographic divides, and political divides.
Football, is more than just a game, more than just 22 players running after a ball, football is life. There are seven billion people living on earth and one of the only things we'll all have in common is our passion for football and our individual love for our favorite football team. Sometimes that passion for football can act for a vehicle for other social issues going on across the globe.
Our game can affect lives on a national and international scale, inspiring revolutions and causing wars as well as having the capability to create peace and lift entire nations.
In December 1914, during World War 1 – the most savage of conflicts – historians say that during the famous truce on Christmas Day, the English and German soldiers organised a football match before going back to killing each other a few hours later.
Just think about that poignant and momentous occasion for a second whilst trying to digest the fact that UEFA are attempting to cripple a small Irish club for the flying of an international flag with no illicit message on it.
The arrogance and flippant attitude with which they apply their rules should be far more alarming to the football community than a small provincial club in Ireland showing its support for an under-siege people thousands of miles across the world.

Did my Nose Thread lift the second time but the first time i did was in korea and loved the results so here i am at SL clinic doing it the second time!
The results is definitely comparable to the one i did in korea and i love both as much!! Dr. Kelvin Chua was really patient in explaining to me the details of how it will turn out and it turned out exactly like what he said.
First the therapist applied numbing cream on my nose and because i was afraid it would hurt, Dr. Kelvin Chua did local anesthesia for me all over my nose.
Dr. Kelvin Chua is using a thick needle to poke a hole on my nose in order to insert the thread in..
Injecting local anesthesia into my nose, it's actually not as pain as i imagined, but it hurts a little just like a little tinggling feeling.
Inserted a total of 8 threads on my nose bridge and 4 tiny threads on the tip.
My nose is a little swelling at the picture below, so it may look a little higher but after it swells down, it will definitely look a little more natural and not this high.
Below are the details of SL Clinic if you guys are interested!
Have been diligently doing my laser treatments and seeing results after every laser treatment! The second picture is me after not shaving for 3 weeks! Hair is growing really really slow and some parts of my leg even stopped growing!
quote my name "Samantha ng" for 15% off!!!
I'm back with day 3&4 of my trip to Thailand! For day 3, we actually went back to Bangkok from Khao Yai and visited a few places on the way.


I have returned from my holiday and so I thought I would slide back into my blog with a traditional review of one of the many billions of X-Box Indie games clogging up my hard drive. Dawn of the Fred is an arena based zombie shooter, hardly an original spin on a zombie game then.
You play as one of a variety of characters including the titular Fred who have to survive rounds against waves of zombies. The demo at least had access to two locations; a house and surrounding garden and a supermarket and car park. I like that effort has been gone into making the arenas feel more like real places than most lazy, lazy zombie games.
The graphical style has some real charm to it, it reminded me of Behemoth's style (them of Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers) though does have a lot less animation. The zombies look great and have variety such as hulking zombies and slug zombies who leave a trail of sticky goo behind them. The sound is also good, has some traditional horror style to it rather than the usual forgettable trash, don't get me wrong, none of the tunes are memorable but at least they are not identical to everything else.
There is a shop in each stage which can be used to buy new weapons using gems that the zombies drop when killed. A load of weapons, lots in fact. The shop is a bit fiddly to use and I had trouble exiting it frequently. There is also a vending machine where extra ammo and health can be purchased between rounds. The next wave of zombies is always up to you to start so none of the usual rushing feeling of being in between rounds.
Dawn of the Fred is up to 4 players, is fun enough even if it does not do anything different to all the other arena games out there, is just a far better example of one and has had more effort put into it. As with all arena games it soon gets boring and there is not a lot of animation to anything also. Some real charm though and for 80 Microsoft points you can't complain too much.


This sweet lemon cheesecake mousse is a decadent dessert that is so easy to make! Made with fresh lemon curd and resting on a bed of graham crackers, these cheesecake mousse cups are a refreshing treat to enjoy all summer long.
I have such a sweet tooth but I don't like spending all day in the kitchen, which is why I love this cheesecake mousse recipe so much. Some of my other favorite easy dessert recipes are these simple Cake Mix Cookies, fudgy Homemade Brownies or these incredible Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake.
I have to say, I am totally in love with lemon desserts. If it has lemon flavor in it, then sign me up! Lemon is so perfect for spring, and I love the bright and fresh flavor.
This lemon cheesecake mousse is the perfect way to showcase that lovely lemon flavor. It's rich and decadent, but also silky smooth and light. Paired with the buttery and crumbly graham cracker crust, it's a delicious dessert that's sure to impress!
I used homemade lemon curd for my mousse, but store bought will work as well. If you haven't made your own before, it's so much easier than you think! The lemon curd gives the mousse a ton of flavor, and a beautiful bright yellow color. If your lemons aren't particularly yellow, you can add a drop or two of yellow food coloring to bump up the color a little bit, but it's totally optional. You could definitely serve these mousse cups with a little extra whipped cream on top, but they are pretty delicious as is!
Mousse is a lighter and airier dessert than pudding is, which is much more dense and creamier. While they are both made with similar ingredients mousse is thickened using heavy cream or egg whites while pudding uses cornstarch to thicken. With pudding, many love to add toppings such as nuts or fruit on top while mousse is typically enjoyed all by itself. Though there are key differences to each, they both taste incredible!
This sweet lemon cheesecake mousse is a decadent dessert that is so easy to make!
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the whipping cream until stiff.
Remove to a different bowl, and set aside.
In the mixer bowl, beat the lemon curd and cream cheese together until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and food coloring, and mix until smooth.
Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula, until blended.
To make the crust, mix the graham crackers, sugar, and butter.
Scoop the crust mixture into six small serving dishes, then top with the mousse.
Yum! This looks so refreshing and delicious!
I loved it! And I'd love to make it again for Valentine's Day!
So creamy and a perfect blend of sweet and tart!
Thanks Erin, I'm so happy you loved them!
I am so excited to make this! I love any type of lemon dessert!
I'm totally with you. I just love lemon desserts!

Vengo with performance by Carmen Romero
Vengo (2000) is a drama centred around two Andalusian Gitano families with an age-old feud Photo By: Film still from Vengo

Vengo, a film by director Tony Gatlif, tells the story of a blood feud among the Andalusian Gitano people. It centres on Caco, a proud man who must fight for his family's honour and safety. An ode to the artistry and magic of flamenco dancing and music, Vengo is set against the compelling backdrop of two Andalusian Gitano families locked in an age-old struggle for power.
Featuring performances by the famed Spanish flamenco singer Maria "La Caita" del Carmen Salazar among others, the film closed the 57th Venice International Film Festival.
Toronto's own Carmen Romero, a towering force in North America's flamenco dance scene who thrives in the emotional melting pot of this art form, will perform to set the scene for the onscreen action.
Flamenco is an art form built on three Abrahamic faiths and the musical expressions of three continents – at first glance, these traditions and contexts seems disparate and irreconcilable. But flamenco is the ultimate example of what happens when artists look beyond limitations imposed by the outside world. The dance form continues to evolve and is shaped by scenes across the planet, as you will experience at film screening and performances during our fourth annual Duende: Flamenco Festival. The artists demonstrate what awaits on the other side of fear.
Carmen Romero is the artistic director and principal dancer of the Compañía Carmen Romero, based in Toronto. Romero teaches and directs at The School of Flamenco Dance Arts as well as international workshops, lectures and demonstrations. She has also served as an adjudicator for the Canada Arts Council. Romero has received many awards, including the Chalmers Award and the K.M. Hunter Emerging Artist Award given to artists who in the development stage of their careers have already made an impact on dance in Canada.
