Its sound is my sound. I can't bear to part with it.
An Equal Music by Vikram Seth
When violinist Michael Holme's past lover reenters his life unexpectedly in Vikram Seth's An Equal Music, he suddenly finds himself dealing with both the struggles of quartet life and the unrest of his own broken heart. Julia, now a married mother, is not the woman she was before, and Michael cannot—despite how hard he tries—bring back the music of their past. Yet music permeates the entire novel. At the bass line of the story's main melody, which follows the adulterous duet between the two protagonists, the tensions within the quartet, and Michael's lonely solo life, is music.
Seth clearly knows what he is talking about, musically. The classical music speak throughout the novel is the best thing about it, and makes it a delight to read for music lovers. There are passages in the novel that nail how I feel about Beethoven's Piano Trio in C minor, Op.1 No.3, playing the second violin part, and even my own violin:
"I agree with whoever said it should more properly be called "the other violinist". Its role is different, not lesser: more interesting, because more versatile. Sometimes, like the viola, it is at the textural heart of the quartet; at others it sings with a lyricism equal to that of the first violin, but in a darker and more difficult register."
"I love it and it loves me. We have grown to know each other. How can a stranger hold and sound what has been in my hands so long? We have been together for twelve years. Its sound is my sound. I can't bear to part with it."
At the same time, there were times when I felt I was being lied to—Seth would foreshadow disaster in a concert, only to later reveal that the performance went wonderfully. Towards the end of the novel, as Michael grows sentimental, his narrative voice also becomes poetic and erudite in a way that does not seem to befit his character at all:
"A walk at the end of the world, the earthquake plate, alone; the mudflats of subsidence and flood, and the hermitage of the one who found the true cross. . . . If we had four hands, would Bach's mind have further branched? Let our thumbs be opposable at the opposite edge. Let our teeth be pulled, let us have baleen like whales, that our plankton love might grow, that we might ungnashing plash and play."
This shift in tone, combined with Seth's use of an apostrophe ("the little dog ... knows that what is, is, and, O harder knowledge, that what is not is not"), points towards what Seth wants us to realize: Michael is an unreliable narrator. Indeed, moments in the book make us detest him. "You're a bully, Michael," Julia tells him when he insists that they play in the church. His imperative tone ("make that a promise") and relentless pursuit of her don't help us empathize with him.
But ultimately, his love of music and his love for his violin are what matters. That is the love that, unlike his relationship with Julia, is at the heart of the novel.

Carrie Fisher (1956-2016)
I grew up watching Star Wars—on the clunky TV at home, on Dad's laptop, in the campus library using giant LaserDiscs. We moved once, traded our stout little television set for a sleeker one, and continued watching Star Wars. In 2005, I had my first galactic experience in a cinema when watching Revenge of the Sith. I started watching the films way back in primary school; now at university, I'm friends with a group of people who love the galaxy just as much as I do.
Star Wars has always been an important part of my life, and at the heart of it for me is Princess Leia. Bold, brave, and badass—she saved lives, fought for what she believed in, and sustained a calm wisdom throughout the rebellion. What would have happened to Luke and Han if she hadn't befriended the Ewoks? Where would Han have ended up if she didn't unfreeze him? I always felt a special connection with her (as a girl, as a twin) and know that this connection will live on.
Carrie Fisher herself brought the badassery she took to the big screen to real life. Her character fought to restore galaxy to the empire; Carrie fought to battle the stigmas against mental illness and addiction. She created hope in places of darkness. As she would have wanted us to say, she went in the most eccentric and poetic fashion—"drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra." Rest in Peace, Carrie Fisher—your legacy, both on-screen and off, will live on in galaxies near and far.

Rebellions Are Built On Hope
Around this time last year, I watched The Force Awakens. It is fitting, then, that the first film I watched upon returning to Hong Kong was Rogue One.
The prequel to A New Hope, the film tells the story of how the Rebel Alliance procured the death star plans (and hence knew they had to blow up the reactor). Action-packed, suspenseful, and right in the heart of the galaxy, Rogue One thoroughly achieves what it sets out to do—although its aim, as I'll later explain, can be considered problematic.
The film must primarily be commended for its stellar cast. Felicity Jones was bold and badass (this franchise deserves female protagonists), Diego Luna was kind and indefatigable, Riz Ahmed nailed the stressed-out-rebel-pilot vibe. But I must give a special shout-out to Donnie Yen, who is a Big Deal in Hong Kong and absolutely kills it as Chirrut (I was super happy to see his Yip Man skills strengthened by the Force). The action scenes in the film were well-paced and thrilling— by the time the Jedah scene was over, I had already stress-eaten all of my popcorn.
Rogue One is in many ways a classic Star Wars film—ships jump into hyperspace (and there's always some anxiety regarding this jump), an endearing talking droid is present, the Force is ~there~ but often scoffed at, the Empire is making everyone miserable, the protagonist has unresolved questions about her father, and so on.
But Rogue One is also different from the other films in that it is considerably darker (although that opening slaughter scene from The Force Awakens still gives me chills). ONLY a film like this—sandwiched between existing (and very successful) films, Episodes III and IV—could pull off killing all its main characters. After I walked out of the cinema, I somehow could not remember the names of Chirrut, Baze, Bodhi, and this usually isn't a problem for me. It's almost as if the film set up its characters to be unmemorable, nameless nobodies (Bodhi is more often referred to as "the pilot" than by his name). Through killing off the rebels, the film implicates (without every explicitly saying it) that the rebellion on the ground level is essentially a suicide mission. This perspective puts a *yikes* but also realistic spin on the film, which repeatedly tells us that "rebellions are built on hope".
The ending—despite the predictable yet nevertheless much-welcomed Leia entry—is truly kind of unsettling, given that it was preceded by a string of deaths (and nasty ones, too, at the merciless hands of Darth Vader). Leia tells us in the final scene that the chip she holds represent hope, but that somehow doesn't seem like a very satisfying answer. For me, it represents the tenacity and sacrifice of the rebels we just spent the past two-ish hours following; condensing all their efforts into 'hope' feels unjust.
And how many moviegoers genuinely care that pretty much every character we just rallied for died by the end of the film? They were never part of the 'big' picture. Ultimately, any new Star Wars film will always hinge upon the shadow of episodes IV-VI. That's why C-3PO, R2-D2, Vader, and those familiar headshots of goggled rebel pilots flying their ships had to be in the film. That's also why so much effort was made to extremely impressively and unsettlingly recreate Grand Moff Tarkin and Leia via CGI (honestly, I was floored by the results).
So, Rogue One did feel a little extra in the context of the whole Star Wars saga (the obliteration of the opening crawl already seemed to distance it from the other films). But I do like how it introduces more diversity into the galaxy and presents a view of the Star Wars universe that is less lightsaber-centric than its predecessors were. I grew up watching Star Wars as a kid and am honestly just happy that I get to keep watching these films as an adult.
As the url of this blog will always read, may the force be with you!

Franchise Spotlight: Pizza
Food industry experience is not generally required to become a franchisee with some of franchising's most stellar brands.
Pizza franchises include some of the best-known fast-food brands globally, with Domino's and Pizza Hut the two biggest players in Australia.
Domino's Pizza is in fact the largest pizza company in the world, with more than 17,000 stores in 90 countries. Exclusively focused on delivery, the brand has been well insulated from the effects of Covid-19 too.
New franchisees receive a 12-week intensive training program, followed by one-week's in-store assistance from a franchise trainer. Once their store is established, franchisees can potentially supercharge their income by taking on additional outlets.
Pizza Hut , the venerable restaurant and pizza delivery franchise, has around 270 outlets across Australia. It gives franchisees an eight-week on-boarding program and two weeks' one-to-one operational support when the store opens.
The franchisor says it finds high visibility, high footfall locations with easy access and ample parking space for franchisees.
A focus on "authenticity" and the use of "finest ingredients" in "unique combinations", meanwhile, has seen Australian pizza delivery franchise CRUST grow to more than 120 outlets across the country. None of this trio specifies food industry experience as a pre-requisite – although Pizza Hut says it's preferable – instead favouring entrepreneurial, hardworking candidates with a talent for customer service.
Pizza industry trends
The Covid-19 pandemic has squeezed revenues in the $3bn sector, although delivery and takeaway operators have been exempt from lockdown restrictions. Operators that can offer quality pizza at low prices will surely thrive amid the short- to medium-term economic turmoil.
The long-term future of the industry looks brighter, with market research firm IBISWorld citing population growth in the outer suburbs of capital cities as opportunities for new franchise markets. Its analysis concludes that intense competition among franchised and non-franchised operators alike will drive product innovation and greater technology expenditure.

100 Cover Versions #87: Ruby Modine covers 'As Tears Go By' by Marianne Faithfull
Here is a really beautiful version of As Tears Go By sung by Ruby Modine. As Tears Go By was originally written by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. It was first recorded by Marianne Faithfull and was her debut single in 1964. It was then released by The Rolling Stones in 1965 and throughout all these decades has been a song associated with both stars. I think it is one of those perfect songs.
Marianne Faithfull was only 17 when she first recorded As Tears Go By so today in 2012 it is like it is being presented again to a new generation by Ruby Modine. The video is also perfect for her elegant style. I featured Marianne Faithfull singing her version of Yesterday on Twitter and Ruby forwarded her song on to me. Thank you, I am honoured to include it on my list of songs that I love.

Tau pathologies, called 'tauopathies', are related to several neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer Disease (AD). In AD, Tau protein is observed hyper-phosphorylated and aggregated as Paired Helical Filament (PHF). The molecular mechanisms of Tau-linked neurodegeneration is far however from being elucidated. Tau is a paradigm for the growing class of "intrinsically disordered proteins", often found associated with pathologies such as neurodegenerative diseases, hence increasing the interest to grasp the molecular parameters underlying their functions.
The fine structural characterization at the molecular level of Tau and its interactions remain challenging due to its highly dynamical character. Additionally, 80 Ser/Thr residues in the longest Tau isoform, potential sites of phosphorylation, can be combined to give a multiphosphorylated Tau, leading to a very complex regulation of Tau interactions. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy is used to define the phosphorylation pattern of Tau samples, to investigate the impact of specific patterns of phosphorylation on structural determinants of Tau and to characterize Tau interactions with its molecular partners and their regulations.
Comprehension of the dynamic combination of these aspects represents a huge task but will probably be the key to therapeutic intervention on Tau pathway.

Partner Perspectives Connecting marketers to our tech communities.
Federico Lucifredi
Partner Perspectives
Catastrophe Hits Your Datacenter – But Users Don't Notice
Many large, network-dependent organizations are deploying OpenStack together with Red Hat Ceph Storage because they are inherently high-available solutions.
What if you lost your datacenter completely in a catastrophe, but your users hardly noticed?
Sounds like a mirage, but it's absolutely possible, and major datacenters with high demand for full availability are already accomplishing this.
Redefining Disaster Recovery
When most companies talk about disaster recovery, they're referring to backing up their data and how quickly they can restore it if something goes wrong. Their strategy depends on how much downtime their operations can tolerate, balanced against the cost of restoring full function. A business' tolerance for data loss is codified by the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) targets it set in its data protection plan, specifying how much data can be lost due to downtime, and how quickly service must be restored. High Availability (HA), Disaster Recovery (DR), and Fault Tolerance (FT) are related, but they are not the same thing. Neither are they substitutes for traditional backup.
At the low end are strategies for providing hot-swap spare servers, storage, and other units for restoring data in the event of unit failure. At the high end are fully redundant data centers equipped identically to the primary facility. Going beyond the ordinary are the large financial institutions, telco, and related service providers for whom every second of downtime is incalculably expensive. They simply can't afford downtime at all. Clearly, they must invest heavily in sophisticated redundancy systems with instantaneous failover.
With all that investment, these high-demand environments can still fail in the wake of a true catastrophe. Major extended storms, massive seismic events, and, unfortunately, the acts of insiders gone rogue are just a few of the events that can completely disable or destroy data centers. This has created a whole new level of disaster requiring a paradigm shift in how true resilience is achieved.
Redefining Cloud
Datacenter computing is maturing. Even when delivered from a cloud service, applications have always been thought of as monolithic segments of code running on a server in someone's datacenter, using a storage appliance that is also located in that private cloud.
In today's OpenStack environment, the application paradigm has shifted completely. New applications are assembled as a collection of microservices that have been containerized along with the resources required to run them. Should a microservice fail, it is discarded and a new one is instantiated to take its place. VMs and containers are routinely replicated and exist on servers located at a variety of datacenters in a variety of locations.
Storage is similarly distributed in clusters that are also replicated and distributed widely throughout the cloud network environment. Removing the intelligence from the storage hardware and running it instead on servers and disks of our choice has given cloud architects new flexibility. The software-defined storage strategy, enabled by solutions like Red Hat Ceph Storage, provides more opportunity for innovation in the design of storage clusters and the geographic distribution of the data stored therein.
Several containerized microservice platforms have emerged to orchestrate the replication and distribution of compute workloads, including Google's Kubernetes, Mesos, and Docker Swarm. Strong storage capabilities are rapidly becoming the norm in all these platforms.
Redefining Resilience
The benefit of this paradigm shift to high-demand users is a massive increase in resilience.
Since microservices and stored workloads can be containerized, replicated, and distributed widely, even the loss of an entire datacenter can be tolerated with minimal service impact. All microservice and storage containers from the lost datacenter are restarted elsewhere by the orchestration platform, using replicated images that the underlying smart storage system continuously pre-positioned for this very purpose through a facility like Ceph's RBD-Mirror or RGW global object clustering. Red Hat Ceph Storage streams changes in your running disk images to your disaster recovery site in real time, enabling your workloads to recover right from where they left off. Ceph can also replicate S3 object buckets to the same site, providing your application with the same data to continue processing.
Capacity planning tends to get in the way of this nirvana. It's sobering to realize you need to run two datacenters at 50% utilization in order to accommodate the failure of one. Data needs to be replicated to all the locations where the load that uses it will move to. As load moves from the failed datacenter to the surviving ones, a mechanism to shed non-critical load is required to enable greater than 50% utilization at each site, but none of the current container engines provide constraint-based or prioritized scheduling yet, even in the simple real time/batch sense.
Software-defined storage replaces proprietary, expensive appliances with industry standard hardware. The traditional scale-up method of replacing servers with ever more powerful hardware is replaced by a more dynamic scale-out approach, which adds processing power from additional servers on a gradual basis to improve rather than reduce throughput as the storage cluster becomes larger. The result is a far more resilient cloud environment that is far less disruptive to IT and operates at lower cost.

The author reviewed a range of DR architectural options at the OpenStack Summit in Austin with his colleagues Sébastien Han and Sean Cohen.
Mitigating Risk
Failure is costly, and the costs can be great. A component can fail, a service cannot. Beyond lost operations are possible lapses in regulatory compliance, loss of customer data, and the impact to your company's reputation in the wake of lost customer confidence.
Many large financial, communications, and other network-dependent organizations are deploying OpenStack together with Red Hat Ceph Storage because they are inherently highly available solutions. Operating with multiple sites to deliver redundant fail-over and nearly continuous operation is the logical next step in this high-stakes game.
Don't wait for reports that the next hurricane is headed right at you. By then it's too late.

Q: How to disable darker transparent effect in UIPopoverController in iOS7? I use UIPopoverController to popup an view in iPad iOS7 like this:
    if (!self.popover) {
        UIViewController *popupVC = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
        [popupVC.view addSubview:thePopupView];
        popupVC.preferredContentSize = CGSizeMake(240, 140);
        self.popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popupVC];
        self.popover.delegate = self;
    }

    [self.popover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:barButton permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];

But when popover active, it make screen darker while this effect not affect other views in iOS6.
How to overcome this issue? Thanks!

A: If you mean the dimming view that is inserted under the popover, there is only one workaround - use a custom popoverBackgroundViewClass.
It's complicated, but not as complicated as you might think.

A: Another method is to traverse the popover view stack and remove the dimming view manually, as shown here in a UIPopoverController subclass:
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL showsDimmingView;

....

- (void)presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:(UIBarButtonItem *)item
           permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirection)arrowDirections
                           animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:item
                  permittedArrowDirections:arrowDirections
                                  animated:animated];

    if (!_showsDimmingView) {
        [self removeDimmingView:[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.subviews lastObject]];
    }
}

- (void)presentPopoverFromRect:(CGRect)rect
                        inView:(UIView *)view
      permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirection)arrowDirections
                      animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super presentPopoverFromRect:rect
                           inView:view
         permittedArrowDirections:arrowDirections
                         animated:animated];

    if (!_showsDimmingView) {
        [self removeDimmingView:[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.subviews lastObject]];
    }
}

- (void)removeDimmingView:(UIView *)subview

It's been seven years, but Hilary Duff is back on stage and performing like never before.
Singing her new song, "All About You," Hilary looks like she's having fun on stage for X Factor Australia.
With a raccoon tail on her back, she line dances. Take a look in this video.
In July, Hilary released "Chasing The Sun" as her first new song.
However, her album won't be out until October. She broke the news on Twitter.
Guys hate to break this news but the album won't be out in October... You will have to wait a few more months. Love all the excitement tho?
A lot has happened since Hilary's last 2007 album, Dignity. She got married to former hockey player Mike Comrie in 2010, split from him this past July and has a two-year-old baby with him named Luca.
In fact, she told Radio Disney that her two-year-old son has been listening to "a lot of Hilary Duff these days." She said, "It's sweet because…before he hears my voice and he just hears the beginning of a song, he's like, 'Oh, momma's song!' He definitely knows what's up and he knows it's me."
It sounds like Luca is all about her! What do you think of Hilary's comeback performance?
Hilary Duff grew up right before our very eyes. Watch her fashion transformation here.


Engineered to maximize air flow while providing superior filtration properties, the A'PEXi Power Intake Air Filter will increase horsepower, torque and acceleration. The drop-in, factory replacement design means adding performance is simple. The A'PEXi air filter is a dry-type air filter and is trouble free. Some of the problems associated with wet type air filters such as oil sticking to the air flow sensor and hindering performance are a thing of the past. Filter life has been tested to operate over 15,000 miles (25,000km) under normal street driving conditions. The filter can be periodically cleaned if necessary by blowing compressed air through the filter, opposite the direction of inbound airstream. 100% genuine A'PEXi product. Part# 503-F101. Made by A'PEXi Japan.


Almost 150 residents of Victor Harbor had the chance to learn more about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) at a State Government expo on Tuesday. Fifty-two stallholders, including disability service providers and registered training organisations, provided information for people with disabilities and their families, as well as job seekers in the region.
The expo included two presentations from industry representatives, giving attendees the opportunity to hear about how the NDIS works and job opportunities in the sector, followed by a question and answer session.
The expos have shown to be a useful opportunity for people with disability, their families, carers, friends, jobseekers and local businesses to learn more about the NDIS specifically in their region, with the chance to speak directly with representatives from the NDIA, the State Government, and other leaders in the field.
The NDIS will start rolling out for people aged 18 to 64 in Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island area from 1 January 2018. This will mean up to 150 new jobs in disability in the region. At full rollout, the State Government will contribute $723 million annually to the scheme, with an estimated 32,000 South Australians forecast to receive support packages (compared to 17,000 pre-NDIS).
The expos are organised by the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion. This was the final expo for the Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island region.

When i am clicking on Check button, cal() function must be called. But it is showing the following error :
Uncaught ReferenceError: cal is not defined
    at HTMLButtonElement.onclick (com_hrd.html:36)

I'm unable get the solution. Actually that button should work. And i should be able to see the sentences i have given like, "Number position". But dont know why it is not working.

A: write return rather than break in cal() function. It is illegal used.
if (N1 == Num) {
    document.getElementById("res").innerHTML = "BINGO!!! You Won!! \n Reload the Page \n To play Again";
    return;
}

A: You have an illegal break statement within that function, but that doesn't explain the error you're getting. something else must be wrong with your environment. I'd check to make sure your JS file is actually in the location referenced by your HTML. Working fiddle for reference (with the illegal break fixed): https://jsfiddle.net/keegangbrown/deapmrjo/

These controls can serve as a basis for evaluating supervisory and employee performance, correcting any deficiencies, and hopefully motivating supervisors and employees.
The Hanover Park Human Resources Department serves the control role by developing, communicating, and implementing organizational policies, procedures, and rules. In addition, we are responsible for developing, implementing, and managing the Village's classification and compensation plan. We also manage risk by coordinating with departments to provide training and preventive care to reduce the risk of injuries and by closely monitoring incidents of occupational injuries and illnesses.
In our advisory capacity, our role is to develop, educate, and influence managers in the management of human resources. We advise line managers by gathering facts, diagnosing problems, providing solutions, and offering objective assistance and guidance on employee-related problems. For example, we will provide a supervisor with specific policy and procedures to follow for dealing with employees' grievances, counseling employees on performance issues, and/or handling discipline.
We assist department managers in negotiating and administering collective bargaining agreements with employees represented by labor unions. As advisers, it is important that Human Resources staff stay abreast of federal and state legislation affecting public employment and guaranteeing all employees and applicants equal treatment and opportunities under the law.

Majors–The Supermarket of Romance…
Majors' ad, Staten Island Advance, Dec 11, 1980.
Like many other people who lived in or near the north shore, I worked at Majors in Mariners Harbor. Majors had it all. Yes, it was a department store, but it also had a supermarket, a liquor store and even a travel agency.
Majors most famous department was the "Record Department." I can still see my brother Frank happily going through the racks for new albums from the Rolling Stones or The Who. The "Record Department" was so popular it spun off into its own entity at the former Pathmark plaza on Forest Avenue. When that site closed it was resurrected and it now operates on Barrett Avenue. The travel agency was also a successful enterprise and it still exists on Forest Avenue, just east of Jewett Avenue.
But back to the supermarket, or as I like to call it, the "Supermarket of Romance." My brother Jim met his future wife Karen there in the mid-1970's, plus I know of at least two other couples that met at the Mariner's Harbor landmark and were married. There are probably more. Who would have thought that Majors Supermarket of Mariners' Harbor was the twentieth century version of match.com?

There's never been a generation like the baby boomers, and there never will be again! Some Boomers are retired Cost Guard, they are informed, enthusiastic, ready to beat the odds and they know how to laugh but are they really prepared to babysit?
Do they know the difference between a pull up and a pop up? Don't laugh! I called Jeremy's pull ups, pop ups it was an honest mistake. Plus he had to show me how to use his mother's kitchen gadget stuff. I can't be the only granny that can't figure it all out!
If your grandchildren's parents are in the coast guard then Facebook and Skype have probably become very important to you. Currently Facebook is our way of staying connected to them and my daughter in laws blog. We are so happy to be able to see what they are all up to these days it really means the world to us.
Six years ago my son met a lovely gal and four years later they got married and when they said, "I Do " and he became a father to her son. Then while they were stationed in the South they had two babies, a boy and a girl. Perfect! During that time I moved to the south with them (not so perfect) but then I meant a wonderful southern gentleman and now we are married. Perfect!
When my son joined the Coast Guard he was a bachelor and I never thought about the future or what it would be like to be a grandmother and having grandchildren moving every four years. However I did experience all the emotions mothers have when their sons and daughters are in any branch of the Military and have to move around.
The up side of spending time with them these past four years was experiencing how awesome they are as a couple and parents and I will always consider it an honor to get to know them as a family. They are terrific people and they seem to just role along with where ever the cost guard takes them.
It's also been a blessing to have experience the past four years with Jeremy, and the first three years of Jesse's life and the first year of Miss Julie's life. Last month they moved from The South to Alaska. It took me two weeks to adjust but I've made it through and now when I drive past the Coast Guard base and see the air plane out in front and I'm happy to say, I don't tear instead I smile!
My husband and I used to like to kid around and say "We child proofed the house and they still got in." I know! But it's funny. All kidding aside we had a blast with our grand-kids and suddenly for a while we were wise and loved again just because we were us.
I'm sure they felt we were a bit odd, and occasionally I felt as though I would catch them giving each other meaningful glances that seemed to say, They're old and we must be the patient with them.
Nevertheless Jesse and Miss Julie did not show any signs of age discrimination and treated us as though we were as young as their parents. I use to wonder if Miss Julie was thinking, oh no, here comes those old people again. Where's the pretty blond lady? I'm referring to our friend Lynn, who loved to gently rock Miss Julie to sleep. While on the other hand I spent my time with Miss Julie walking and walking around the house for what seemed like a million times telling her she could do it and in own time she did.
We want to thank Lynn and Victor (retired Coast Guard) for stepping up to the plate and helping us the first time we babysat Miss Julie or as the young people say, hung out with Miss Julie. We were surprised when it took three baby boomers and one retired Coast Guard guy to take care of one baby girl and when her parents came home she stayed up and played with her brother and we went home to take naps. Is that called role reversal? Parents taking naps instead of the kids!

Our financial system is controlled by a small number of very large banks that don't serve the real economy – instead, they redirect the wealth created by workers to CEO bonuses. There is no dignity in work when many Americans can't afford a $400 emergency expense, but Wall Street pay is rising. We should break up the power large banks have over our financial system and reward investments in communities and jobs, rather than risky Wall Street speculation.
Blocking Republican efforts to roll back safeguards we put in place after the 2008 financial crisis.
In 2008, after decades of financial deregulation, this country experienced the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Millions lost their jobs and their homes and their retirement savings. More than a third of workers across the country were unemployed for 27 weeks or more. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the financial crisis cost the average American $70,000 in lifetime income.
And the crisis further exacerbated wealth and income inequality by destroying almost half the wealth in Black and Latino communities. Banks which had previously denied services to communities of color began to flood them with toxic loans that ultimately stole the wealth many workers had built through their homes.
Following the crisis, we passed the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), put limits on derivatives, and forced the Fed to pay attention to risks at the biggest banks.
But only 10 years later, Washington has collective amnesia. Republicans in Congress continue rolling back the reforms we put in place to protect consumers, taxpayers, and our economy from experiencing another crisis. And the Trump Administration has systematically attacked the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Our first job is to stop the roll-back of Dodd-Frank and boost the Consumer Bureau so it can continue the job of protecting consumers.
But that's not enough. We must also break up the biggest banks by limiting their size and their activities, so no bank has unfair leverage over the marketplace, its regulators, or even over Congress. No bank should be so large or complex that its bad decisions could put the entire economy at risk.
We also need to rewrite the rules for how banks fund their activities and stop them from relying on dangerous levels of debt. This would not only protect our economy, but also ensure that banks invest in long-term success and real economic growth, rather than short term profits followed by catastrophe. Currently, the banking sector takes about 25 percent of all corporate profits, but creates only 4 percent of the jobs. The banking system should be a vehicle for growing jobs and communities, not enriching CEOs and big investment firms at everyone else's expense.
Consumers must also be allowed to band together and take on financial companies that defraud and abuse them. Banning so-called "forced arbitration clauses" will ensure that consumers have the right to their day in court and give workers the power to protect their paychecks from financial scammers and fraudsters.
And we must do more to protect consumers from predatory payday lenders that trap them in a cycle of debt. In addition to putting tougher rules on payday lenders themselves, we can give workers an alternative to payday lending by allowing them to claim a one-time, $500 advance on their Earned Income Tax Credit for the following taxable year. This would allow workers to deal with financial emergencies like a car repair without paying abusive fees or triple-digit interest rates.
For work to have dignity, we must ensure that the hard work of millions of families cannot be destroyed by abuses in the financial sector and the recklessness of a few powerful banks.

Beyoncé's Definitely Not Pregnant Then?
Beyoncé's Definitely Not Pregnant, Then?
Beyoncé seemed to be sending a clear message to the world over the weekend that she's not pregnant.
Flashing her toned and trim midriff in a striped, monochrome pencil skirt and matching crop top, Beyoncé put the pregnancy rumours to bed once and for all as she attended Kanye West's 36th birthday in New York.
Ms Knowles posted photos of herself and hubby Jay-Z kissing and sharing an intimate moment together at the bash which took place at Miss Lily's restaurant in New York's West Village.
Her flesh-flashing display may not have been necessary, though, as last week her team finally put an end to the pregnancy gossip that has been circulating for the last month or so.
US TV host Gayle King reported on CBS This Morning that the rumours have been denied.
In other news, Kanye West celebrated his birthday surrounded by a host of famous friends, including Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Nas, but without girlfriend Kim Kardashian, who is now too pregnant to fly.


What's the secret to breakthrough marketing?
Most of us would be tempted to answer: creativity.
Suddenly, the light came on.
De Niro's success wasn't about how inventive he was. Nor was it about his imaginative, innovative prowess. It was about reflection. De Niro was a sponge, a gold miner digging through the dirt. He was an explorer looking to discover rather than a scientist looking to invent.
And the truth is … the same principle should be exactly how you yourself approach marketing.
Notice the emphasis: the power of advertising does not come from the advertisement itself. It comes from the people it's trying to reach.
Again, the point is not to start with you or your product. It's not to invent who you think that product would reach. The point is to start with the market that already exist, to go to them and connect your product by reflecting who they really are.
And today, things haven't changed one bit.
That might sound harsh, but if "your opinion" doesn't matter and "you don't know" what will work, who does?
The primary way I do this is through review mining through user-generated sources like blog comments — both on your own site, but primarily on your competitors, YouTube comments, Amazon reviews, social media, forum sites, customer FAQs, qualitative surveys, and email responses.
The fundamental mistake many marketers — especially email marketers — make is thinking that great marketing is an exercise in invention.
We all know connecting with our audience is vital. We build customer personas, we identify their hopes and dreams — their heavens and hells, as I like to put it. We even give them names, faces, and back stories.
Unfortunately, all this hard work is often for nothing because rather than build it as a genuine reflection of our audience … we create it ourselves.
Instead, start with the real people you're trying to reach.
Ron Howard was right. The genius of Robert Di Niro didn't come from him, it came from them. And your own genius as a marketer should come from the same place: your audience.

Alexandra Neyman holds both a Master of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Michigan. She also attended School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan, as well as Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI, and Schusev's School of Art and Design in Russia.
Alex's academic interests and experimental research aim to integrate theoretical morphological studies, actively utilizing data from a wide range of sources and fields such as: biology, chemistry, medicine, critical theory, philosophy, and so on.
Through operative research and mapped behavioral simulations, this work aims to generate new principles for design and invent new spatial logics and organizations that have an influence on physiologies of form. This kind of research tries to promote new materialism through spatial dynamics in the production of form and with distinct biases to differentiated repetition, variation, aggregation, unusual couplings, extreme hybrid systems and spatial anomalies.
The work keeps with the spirit of critical generative matters and thinking, operative parametric design logics, actionable processes, complex form making and experimental urges.
Alex's thesis project, "Mapping Heterotopia: accelerating Capitalist space" analytically explored the influence of capitalism on space making, seeking to exploit the emerging market logics in Russia, as a catalyst for new architectural possibilities.
This project is a current and ongoing research of mapping processes. The research is dedicated to exploring speculative and practical rapid acceleration of the globalization, urbanism and capitalism and the convulsing conditions of the market economy, as well as developing new perspectives on critical issues in contemporary Russia and its various effects on design practices.
The work is made primarily through drawings and explores the relational territory between drawing, narrative, and spatial occupation at an urban scale, scale of a section and a detail simultaneously. The production of drawn explorations here, lends the work another rich topical orientation: the very nature of the architectural representation. The work was chosen for publication in Dimensions 19, a University of Michigan publication.
Alex had previously taught at the University of Michigan. She is a co-founder of Meta:space, which explores both speculative and practical conditions and projects in architecture, industrial, product design and things of the like.
She had previously worked for Mitchell+Mouat Architects in Ann Arbor, Designhaus in Rochester MI, and WETSU, a design+build practice in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While working for WETSU, Alex assisted in a traveling exhibition 'Chicken & Fish" work of Jason Young and Neal Robinson, where managed the production of books for five projects and helped with the installation of the exhibit. "Chicken & Fish" was mounted at Edge-Studio Gallery in Pittsburgh, at the Taubman College Gallery in Ann Arbor, and at the Elmaleh Gallery at the UVA.

Emmerdale's Robert and Aaron: A history of their relationship
From illicit lovers to husband and husband
By Carena Crawford
Perhaps one of the most popular couples to ever live in the village of Emmerdale, Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle -affectionately known as Robron - have certainly had their ups and downs on the road to everlasting love.
Fans shipped the pair from the very beginning when they shared their first kiss on a roadside.
Even when Robert turned violent they stood by the couple. And when Robert cheated and got Rebecca White pregnant, viewers continued to urge show bosses to reunite the lads.
Fans got what they wanted in 2018 when the pair reaffirmed their relationship and got married for real.
Read more: Which days is Emmerdale on this week?
How did Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden first meet?

Born and raised in the village, Robert had dalliances with several women including losing his viriginity to Nicola King, and seducing his brother Andy's wife, Katie.
On his return to Emmerdale in 2014, he was engaged to Chrissie White, but it wasn't long before we discovered he was attracted to men as well - namely Aaron Dingle.
It all began when Aaron stole Robert's car, so Robert blackmailed him into a fake robbery at Home Farm to teach his father-in-law-to-be,Lawrence White, a lesson.
A few weeks later, Robert discovered Aaron was gay and faked a car breakdown to call him out for some roadside assistance.
Robert then admitted his car was fine and he'd called Aaron out for a different reason - before passionately kissing him.
They later had sex in a car at the garage, before Robert insisted, it was a one off, he was straight, and would be marrying Chrissie.
It wasn't long, however, before they began a full-blown affair.
How was Robert and Aaron's relationship exposed?
Katie caught them kissing (Credit: ITV/REX/Shutterstock)
Robert's ex, Katie, who hated him, suspected he was cheating on Chrissie and managed to get a photograph of Aaron and Robert kissing.
On the morning of his wedding to Chrissie, Robert confronted Katie as she threatened to expose him, and as things got heated, he pushed her. She fell through the floor and broke her neck.
Robert called Aaron who arrived and told him to go and marry Chrissie before cleaning up any evidence of him or Robert having been there, leaving Katie's dead body to be found at a later date.
The guilt meant things were strained between the boys, but they continued their affair, with more and more people finding out.
Firstly, Aaron confessed the truth to Cain, who used the infomation to blackmail Robert.
Then Paddy caught them having sex in the portakabin and sent a note to Chrissie saying: "Rein your cheating husband in".
Why did Robert turn violent with Aaron?

Furious with Paddy's meddling, Robert got drunk and tried to bury him in grain, before having a change of heart and switching the machine off.
With Paddy recovering in hospital Robert threatened to harm his stepson Leo if Paddy revealed the truth about him and Aaron to anyone.
Paddy told Aaron about Robert's threats and Aaron booked a cabin for him and Robert in an attempt to get him alone and record him confessing to both Katie's murder and Paddy's attempted murder.
But Robert was onto him and knocked him out with a vase before holding him bound and gagged at gunpoint.
Paddy burst in and Robert shot him in the arm, but once again unable to let him die, stitched up the wound and let them both go.
Aaron marched straight round to Chrissie and revealed the truth about their affair.
How did Aaron and Robert reunite?

The fallout from the affair reveal saw Chrissie set fire to Robert's car, which then caused a gas cannister explosion, sending a helicopter plummeting out of the sky killing the pilot, Ruby Haswell and Val Pollard in the process.
Not long after, Robert was shot and Aaron was arrested for it. Robert didn't believe he'd done it, and it turned out he was right because in fact it was Rob's brother Andy who had persuaded Ross Barton to pull the trigger.
After Robert and Andy finally called a truce, Robert gave a false description of his attacker to the police to free Aaron.
But Aaron was far from grateful, insisting he hated Robert with every bone in his body.
Something about that didn't ring true, though, and in January 2016, Robert found Aaron about to run away following his parents' reconciliation.
Aaron then collapsed in Robert's arms and it was revealed he had sepsis from self-harming wounds.
He later discharged himself from hospital and Robert located him hiding in Debbie's house. It was then that Aaron confessed he'd been self-harming because his father, Gordon, raped him as a child.
Despite confronting Gordon, Robert remained loyal to Aaron, and kept his confidence. Fortunately, Aaron found the courage to tell the Dingle family and report Gordon to the police.
Robert wanted to help so tracked down Aaron's stepmother, Sandra Flaherty, and he and Aaron went to visit her to see if she could make a statement.
The time spent together saw Aaron and Robert reconnect and agree to take their relationship slowly.
Did Robert support Aaron through the sex abuse trial?

Wanting to make sure Gordon went down, a misguided Robert paid Gordon's neighbour to lie that he was another victim. But when Aaron found out he was furious tellling Robert if Gordon walked free it would be his fault.
Robert continued to support Aaron through Gordon's trial, and Gordon was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
Gordon wrote to Aaron from prison, but once again misguided in his efforts to support Aaron, Robert burned the letter.
Gordon then killed himself and left Aaron £250,000 in his will, but Aaron didn't want the money.
Robert wanted him to take it and coupled with the news he burnt the letter, Aaron had enough, calling him manipulative and controlling, and telling him to stay out of his life.
But as Robert grew closer to Aaron's sister, Liv, and supported her through a bullying ordeal with Noah Dingle, Aaron and Robert once again fell back into each other's arms and they all moved in together.
When did Aaron and Robert get engaged?
Aaron and Robert's argument led to a proposal (Credit: ITV)
Robert planned to propose to Aaron, but his former stepson Lachlan White started causing problems, and threatened to make up allegations of sexual abuse against Robert.
Aaron overhead everything and tied Lachlan up in the boot of his car, but he escaped and after a chase, Lachlan told Aaron Robert was sleeping with former fling Rebecca White.
In a big heart to heart, Robert then admitted his bisexuality and his previous affair with Rebecca, as well as revealing his father caught him with a farmhand when he was 15 and beat him to a pulp.
Aaron questioned whether he'd ever be enough for Robert, who angrily revealed his proposal plans - just before Aaron crashed the car in the huge Hotten Bypass disaster.
They smashed into a lake and although Robert eventually freed a trapped Aaron, the Dingle was rushed to hospital for liver surgery. Robert stayed by his bedside.
Aaron woke up and in a moving moment whispered: "Yeah," to the proposal, before Robert slipped the ring on his finger.
Drama struck again when the heart monitor started beeping and Aaron was left fighting for his life.
As we all know, he survived, and when he woke up again, he asked Robert if marriage was definitely what he wanted.
Robert responded by tenderly touching the scars on Aaron's arms, and saying he couldn't bear the thought of losing him and wanted to be with him forever.
Aaron then asked Robert to marry him and Robert agreed, as they kissed.
Did Robert and Aaron stay together when Aaron went to prison?
Robert was determined to stand by Aaron (Credit: ITV)
Robert teamed up with Rebecca to get Home Farm and their dealings left Aaron filled with jealousy.
After arguing about her one time too many, Robert removed his engagement ring.
Aaron went out and got drunk, and when he witnessed an argument between Finn Barton and his love interest, Kasim, which Aaron interpreted as homophobic, he beat Kasim up, resulting in his arrest.
Robert vowed to stand by him, planning a surprise wedding in the Woolpack the day before Aaron's sentencing.
Faith Dingle's arrest at the ceremony put a stop to the nuptials, but Aaron and Robert had a private moment in the garage, exchanging rings and saying their vows.
Aaron was then sentenced to a year in prison and after being bullied inside, turned to drugs, telling Robert to forget about him.
When did Robert get Rebecca pregnant?
Rebecca had Robert's baby (Credit: ITV
Following Aaron's rejection, Robert got drunk and had sex with Rebecca, immediately regretting it the next day.
He was forced to come clean to Aaron when he was released from prison and Rebecca announced she was pregnant.
Although Aaron forgave Robert, his jealousy over the baby and what happened caused him to start self-harming and taking drugs again, leading to him ending their relationship.
While vengeful Robert set his sights on getting Home Farm, Aaron began a tentative relationship with Dr Alex Mason.
But he just couldn't shake his feelings for Robert, and when they shared an intimate moment that was interrupted by Alex, Aaron knew he couldn't pretend any longer and ended things with Alex.
Oblivious Robert, however, had decided he needed to try and move on, so went to a gay bar and picked up a guy.
Aaron saw them leaving together, but later discovered Robert alone with a bottle of whiskey.
Robert admitted he was still going to be faithful to Aaron even if they weren't actually together, at which point Aaron confessed he'd ended it with Alex and the pair reunited.
Are Aaron and Robert going to become parents?
There wasn't a dry eye in the house at Robert and Aaron's wedding (Credit: ITV)
After Rebecca suffered a brain injury they ended up taking care of Robert's son with her, baby Seb.
The lads married in an outdoor ceremony in October 2018, days after Aaron's half-sister, Grace, passed away at birth.
Grateful to Robert for his support through the hard times, the wedding was an emotionally charged affair.
The boys were left devastated again when Rebecca decided to move to Liverpool with her boyfriend Ross Barton - and take Seb with her.
Robert and Aaron have been attempting to find a surrogate so they can have their own baby, but have recently agreed to put their plans on hold to support Robert's sister, Victoria, following her rape.

Ways To Understand Lebanese Women
Imposing temples of Jupiter, Venus, and Bacchus, in addition to other Roman structures, are nicely preserved within the Bekaa Valley and its coronary heart, town of Baalbek, which embodies the history of the whole historic world. Baalbek is taken into account so historic that legends attribute its construction to Cain, the son of Adam. According to another legend, Baalbek was built by Nimrod, one of the biblical kings, and giants helped him on this matter. Complexes of temples in Baalbek had been built and rebuilt many times for nearly 2000 years. You may need a while earlier than such intimacy would possibly happen.
