Faye Sholiton has developed her work at Cleveland Play House (1996-2011) and Dobama Theatre (2009-present). Her full-length plays have been performed more than 4 dozen times throughout the U.S. and in London, receiving four Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence grants and dozens of regional and national awards. Her play THE INTERVIEW is published by Speert Publishing. Scenes from THE INTERVIEW, V-E DAY, ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL and TELLING LIVES appear in multiple anthologies. Sholiton writes extensively about theater and teaches playwriting, most memorably to cruise ship passengers. From 2009-2016,, she served as Regional Representative to the Dramatists Guild. In 2011, she founded Interplay Jewish Theatre to revive a nearly century-old tradition in Cleveland. Through Interplay, she produces free staged readings of plays that view the contemporary world through a Jewish lens.
Play Roster
(drama), set in the home of a Holocaust survivor, explores the impact of silence in families. The play takes place on the day the survivor meets her interviewer, the child of other survivors, to record eyewitness testimony for posterity. "What begins as a simple history project," says Chester Theatre Company, "blossoms into a story of mothers and daughters forgiving and being forgiven." National honors: Winner, Dayton FutureFest; Midwest Theatre Network (MN); and Charlotte New Play Festival. Finalist in several other competitions; and winner of a $5,000 Ohio Arts Council (OAC) Individual Artists Grant. Scenes published in two Smith & Kraus anthologies (1998). The play has had more than three dozen readings and productions from New York to L.A.; and is featured in Gene A. Plunka's book Holocaust Theater: Dramatizing Survivor Trauma and Its Effects of the Second Generation (Routledge Publishing, London, 2018). (3 mature women; one young man; unit set)
(newsroom comedy) is set in the fictional Good, Ohio, where bad things happen to Good people. A sleepy newsroom run by four women comes alive with the arrival of a newly minted journalism school graduate. Before long, they are at odds with the First Amendment, a special prosecutor, and each other. Finalist in three national contests. (5 F; 2M, and a flexible set that suggests multiple locales)
A FORM OF HOPE
(a memory play), written to honor David Mark Berger, the Cleveland-born athlete slain along with 10 other members of the 1972 Israeli Olympic team. Commissioned by the Cleveland JCC, it is a gathering of family and friends who come together to remember David. In articulating their memories, they discover how little they knew him. But this doesn't minimize the ache of his loss, more than 30 years after his death. (8M; 4F, and a flexible set with special lights and video projections. It's a lyrical piece done in presentational style).
TELLING LIVES
(drama, with comedy) is the story of a 54-year-old copy editor whose mother arrives one night with a 237-page draft manuscript of her "autobiography." As the daughter attempts to edit her mother's life, she discovers some startling truths about her own. When she realizes what prompted the memoir, she understands her mother's urgency to be sure nothing is left unsaid. Winner of an OAC grant, the play has had multiple readings and productions. It is featured in Mother/Daughter Monologues (International Centre for Women Playwrights, 2009). (3F, two contrasting living room sets).
(a light drama/memory play) inspired by a box of actual wartime newsletters. On May 8, 2003, an elderly widow's normal routine of barking at her daughter, Aimee, and watching the Home Shopping Network is interrupted with the arrival of a visitor from her past. He brings a box of newsletters that Mom had once edited for Jewish Clevelanders in the service. The visit stirs a pot of old memories, including the one love of her life that she let slip away. As Mom and her visitor revisit the heady days of World War II, Aimee is able to see her mother young again, for one day. Honored in four national contests and by an Ohio Arts Council Grant, V-E day has been fully staged and featured in multiple staged readings. Portions appear in Scenes and Monologs from Best Plays II (Meriwether, 2007); and Duos! Best Scenes for the 21st Century (Applause, 2009). (4F; 2M, and one little girl. Unit set.) The late Norman Corwin, poet laureate of the Greatest Generation, gave the script his seal of approval.
ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL
(drama) What happens when a liberal Jewish teacher receives a pink slip from her school board, following a layoff decision based solely on skin color? In this fictional story inspired by an actual Supreme Court case, she becomes involved in a reverse discrimination lawsuit that she detests – and loses nearly everything else in the process. All Things Being Equal explores the racial divide in contemporary America, and in one human heart. A finalist in three national contests, it won an Ohio Arts Council grant. The script has been read from London to L.A. Scenes appear in Duos! Best Scenes for the 21st Century (Applause, 2009); and Scenes from a Diverse World (International Centre for Women Playwrights, 2012). (2F; 5 or 6M. Flexible set suggested by movable pieces and lights; some video recommended).
U.S. v. HOWARD MECHANIC
(dramatic adaptation of Fugitive Candidate, A Memoir by Howard Mechanic, The Last Prisoner of the Vietnam War). The life of a Shaker Heights High School classmate took a significant detour on the evening of May 4, 1970. Washington University senior Howard Mechanic was arrested at an antiwar rally, found guilty on the false charge of interfering with police, and sentenced to five years in federal prison. Instead of serving time, he went underground, to emerge as Scottsdale entrepreneur Gary Tredway. There he might have lived out his life had he not decided to become a civic leader and run for public office. The play is about a fellow who keeps trying to repair the world, even after the world has demonstrated it has no use for his services. (2F; 6M, a flexible set suggesting multiple locales in and out of prison. She has further explored the story in her screenplay Free Howard Mechanic.
(drama) An American geologist visits her brother, a Catholic priest, in Panama, to resolve medical decisions for their terminally-ill mother. Somewhere along the way, Mother's own wishes have been hijacked. As her children insist on their own answers in this winner-take-all debate, they soon learn from the endangered local landscape that perhaps it's time to reframe the questions. (2F; 2 M)
LONGER ONE-ACTS
ABOVE & BEYOND (40 minutes)
(drama) It's October 1973 and the U.S. military is on heightened (DEFCON III) alert. Two young Air Force officers report to their underground missile launch silo knowing that this might be the day they have both trained for and dreaded. As the tension escalates inside and outside their concrete bunker, they dare to think about their own role in history and what kind of life they might anticipate when and if the alert is finally lifted. Premiered in 2018. (2 M)
A BRIEF HISTORY OF MAH JONGG (35 minutes)
(comedy for mature women) This piece, set around a card table, explores what decades of weekly get-togethers meant to one quartet of women. It also looks at the impact on these when when their game suddenly disbanded with no explanation. The action takes place on the day 22 years after their break-up, that the women return to sort out an old affront they never knew had occurred. Performed on stages and in women's organizations all over the country. (6F)
PLAYING DIRTY (65 minutes)
(drama for youth audiences) This piece looks at what happens when adults fail to model civility and respect for their children. In Playing Dirty, high school football players start a racial incident at a game. When it appears that no adult is stepping forward to help them sort out their atrocious behavior, the kids must find their own way back to human decency. (2F; 4M)
A DEATH IN THE CITY (65 minutes)
(drama) An African-American woman offers a power point narration of a sad piece of local history: the death of Bruce Klunder, a 26-year-old white Protestant minister who was protesting segregation in the city's schools. She plays all the roles in the story, including eyewitnesses, fellow CORE members, Klunder's family and the reporter who tied to piece together what happened 30 years later. The retelling becomes the woman's path to understanding her own life: how segregation can become destiny. (1F)

I ended up taking down the primary, doing a `slapcat -l backup.ldif` and bringing it back up.  Then went to the slave, took down slapd then `rm -rf /var/lib/ldap/*; slapadd -l backup.ldif; chown -r openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap/*` and then bringing slapd back up.  Checked to make sure replication was working.  And hurray, I can authenticate against the slave server now!
That was very strange, replication to go out of sync but keep updating the slave with no errors or warnings.  I have backups from both servers and I cannot see any difference in their ldif's.  Very confusing because everything is the same, the flavor and version of linux, the version of openldap, the config files (except for the syncrepl parts).  I hope this doesn't happen again.
Without your ideas and support I would not have kept going to fixing this.  Thank you!

M.A. Economics, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Colombia, 2006
M.Sc. Industrial Engineering, University of Florida, 2010
Ph.D. Public Policy & Management, The Ohio State University, 2019
Dr. Alfredo Roa-Henriquez is a Professional Research Experience Program (PREP) Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Economist in the Applied Economics Office at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He works closely with NIST's Community Resilience Group and the Recovery of Business and Supply Chains' project that is part of the Hurricane Maria Program.
His research interests are focused on the economic analysis of resilience by considering post-disaster actions that lead businesses and government to minimize the negative impacts associated with natural hazards and to hasten recovery thereafter. This work employs survey research and econometric tools for measurement and modeling post-disaster actions, recovery, and economic resilience. The research aims to provide a standard structure to assess impacts of investments, strategic choice or implementation actions in the resilience and recovery post-disaster.
Dr. Roa-Henriquez has also studied the influence of hurricane intensity forecasts on evacuation decisions in the context of hurricane-provoked disasters. He is interested in research on the effects of (de)regulation, energy markets, and institutions. Recent work details the impact of retail electric deregulation on businesses and households.
In the past, Dr. Roa-Henriquez was a senior professional at the National Procurement Agency in Colombia. He taught at top universities, including Universidad del Norte in his native Barranquilla, where he graduated years before with a BSc in Industrial Engineering. He earned a M.A. degree in Economics from Universidad Javeriana and holds a M.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from University of Florida. Dr. Roa-Henriquez holds a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Management from The Ohio State University. There he conducted research and worked under the direction of Dr. Noah Dormady (OSU) and Dr. Adam Rose (USC) in their projects, which were funded by DHS and NSF grants.

Template for researcher's curriculum vitae
For a researcher to be professionally competent, they need to master the knowledge and the methodology associated with their field as well as to comply with ethically sustainable practices. Poor research skills decrease the reliability of results and may even invalidate the research itself. Poor research skills manifest themselves as a lack of competence in the field and as negligence in conducting research and when recording, archiving and reporting results. However, negligence and shortcomings in knowledge do not necessarily mean that a researcher's professional practices are ethically questionable.
Violations of the responsible conduct of research (RCR) refer to the unethical and dishonest practices that damage research and in worst cases, these invalidate the research results. Violations of the responsible conduct of research consist of actions that may have been committed either intentionally or through negligence. While it is difficult to define these types of violations in detail and unambiguously, with the help of examples it is possible to characterise ethically irresponsible practices. The violations of the responsible conduct of research can be classified into the following:
Disregard for the responsible conduct of research
Research misconduct and disregard for the responsible conduct of research may occur in planning and performing the research and in presenting the research results and conclusions. Allegations of research misconduct and disregard for the RCR are dealt with through the procedure of handling alleged violations of the responsible conduct of research. This is referred to as the RCR process. Disregard for the responsible conduct of research and for research misconduct violate the responsible conduct of research, but they may also violate the law. In addition to the two categories mentioned above, other types of ethically irresponsible research practices may occur in research communities. However, sincere differences of opinion that result from the interpretations and assessments of research results belong to academic and scientific debate and do not violate the responsible conduct of research.
Research misconduct refers to misleading the research community and often also to misleading decision-makers. This includes presenting false data or results to the research community or spreading false data or results in a publication, in a presentation given in a scientific or scholarly meeting, in a manuscript that is intended to be published, in study materials or in applications for funding. Furthermore, misconduct refers to misappropriating other researchers' work and to representating other researchers' work as one's own. Research misconduct is further divided into the following four subcategories:
Fabrication refers to reporting invented observations to the research community. In other words, the fabricated observations have not been made by using the methods as claimed in the research report. Fabrication also means presenting invented results in a research report.
Falsification (misrepresentation) refers to modifying and presenting original observations deliberately so that the results based on those observations are distorted. The falsification of results refers to the unfounded modification or selection of research results. Falsification also refers to the omission of results or information that are essential for the conclusions.
Plagiarism, or unacknowledged borrowing, refers to representing another person's material as one's own without appropriate references. This includes research plans, manuscripts, articles, other texts or parts of them, visual materials, or translations. Plagiarism includes direct copying as well as adapted copying
Misappropriation refers to the unlawful presentation of another person's result, idea, plan, observation or data as one's own research.
In international guidelines, misconduct is usually divided into three categories: fabrication, falsification and plagiarism, which is also referred to as the FFP categorisation. The tradition in Finland has been to maintain a more comprehensive and analytical categorisation; hence misappropriation is separated from plagiarism and is considered to be a distinct category.
Disregard for the responsible conduct of research manifests itself as gross negligence and carelessness during the research process. This type of behaviour can be identified when researchers engage in:
denigrating the role of other researchers in publications, such as neglecting to mention them, and referring to earlier research results inadequately or inappropriately;
reporting research results and methods in a careless manner, resulting in misleading claims;
publishing the same research results multiple times ostensibly as new and novel results (redundant publication, also referred to as self-plagiarism);
misleading the research community in other ways.
Other irresponsible practices
Other irresponsible practices may also occur in research. For example, researchers may engage in:
manipulating authorship, for example, by including in the list of authors persons who have not participated in the research, or by taking credit for work produced by what is referred to as ghost authors
exaggerating one's own scientific and scholarly achievements, for example, in a CV or its translation, in a list of publications, or on one's homepage
expanding the bibliography of a study to artificially increase the number of citations
delaying the work of another researcher, for example, through refereed peer reviewing
maliciously accusing a researcher of RCR violations
hampering inappropriately the work of another researcher
misleading the general public by publicly presenting deceptive or distorted information concerning one's own research results or the scientific importance or applicability of those results
In their most serious forms, these practices may meet the criteria of an RCR violation mentioned above.
The Finnish National Board on Research Integrity (TENK), appointed by the Ministry of Education and Culture, promotes the responsible conduct of research, prevents research misconduct, promotes discussion and spreads information on research integrity in Finland


Today I presented to IBM Reference Architecture team, with Guilhem Molines, IBM Operational Decision Management product architect, a new solution we are using during our consulting engagements that leverages the Watson conversation to gather customer's input and send to a decision service running in ODM. The solution is implemented as part of github.com (https://github.com/ibm-cloud-architecture/refarch-cognitive-prod-recommendations) so every IBM customers or consultants can study it.
Integrating chatbot in business applications, is definitively a trend started two years ago, and a lot of companies are still implementing solutions today. As part of the continuous improvement and optimization of the business operations, the next step is to use the data gathered during the conversation and apply business rules on top of it to deliver next best action or best recommendations. This will limit the human intervention to complex cases only, offloading the workload to rule engine.
To play with our solution you need an IBM Cloud public account, and the code and artifacts we developed to be able to run this solution. The solution integrates with [Decision Composer].
Have fun with this new assets and feedbacks are welcome.


Gorilla's majorly improved, the interface is much better overall and is more tightly integrated with Dancing Monkeys. David Flink rewrote almost all of it from scratch. For example, when something goes wrong with converting a song you can now examine the log from within Gorilla itself.
The major change in functionality is a few more frills, and some minor bug fixes. If you've imported album images into your MP3's with iTunes, or added album art to your song directories with the Windows Media Player, this art is now used for banners and backgrounds for the step files.
Sorry, no other great changes - me, I've been at a conference and on vacation. As it is, I'm getting sucked into a book project (new edition of "Real-Time Rendering", buy a copy and earn me a beer), so I probably won't get to do any major changes in the near future. If anyone else with Matlab skills wants to step up to the plate, now's your chance. Latest source is up at the site, and I'm happy to help advise you.
any other in the person in the world would have been happy with their school project, and if it weren't for you such a useful tool wouldn't exist. so I thank you once for making it and twice for actually having the grit to go into fine-tuning it.
with your help a very lazy man is expanding his ddr collection beyond sappy japanese pop and techno music into things he actually likes, like reggae and funk. honestly dissatisfaction with the usual genres was starting to turn me off to ddr (and make me fatter) but i just couldn't be arsed to make my own stepfiles. it really is just a giant pain in the buttocks, and the scarcity of quality music reflects this. i hope you keep working on dancing monkeys.
Kind words, thanks, and I'm glad to hear it's getting used. I should make it clear that most of the glory goes to Karl O'Keeffe, who wrote the original program. I've mostly improved the I/O and fixed a bunch of annoying bugs around the fringes. David Flink came up with the Gorilla front-end that simplifies everything further and makes it all usable.
For me, the best thing about Dancing Monkeys is that there's no risk I'll ever accidentally select the song "Let Them Move".
ohh yeah, different screen names. but thank you anyway, and kudos to karl.
Feh, the forum software seemed to hang, so I submitted my post again; now I see a double post, so am deleting this one.
If you set the number of stops to zero in Gorilla, you're saying that if Dancing Monkeys detects a place where it would put a stop, then you'd rather not convert the song. This is usuallly a good idea to set to 3 or so, as is done by default: if Dancing Monkeys detects 3 or more stops, it means that the conversion's not going well and the steps generated will be annoying or otherwise sucky.
To do what you wish, i.e. get rid of all stops, simply check the box "no stops" in Gorilla. Now stops will not be output, but the song will be converted nonetheless.
You can use "max stops" and "no stops" together, no problem, since they do different things: if a song has too many stops, "max stop" kills the conversion of that song; "no stops" just removes any stops that would have been generated, but does not kill conversion at all.
An installer now sets up both programs, desktop icon, etc.
Tight integration with Dancing Monkeys, and source for both programs is distributed in the package.
Song conversion is now set as a low priority task, so the program can now be run without sucking down all available CPU.
You can stop processing a song partway through and restart later.
There is now an estimated time for when processing for a song will finish.
The beats per minute gets a slight refinement after it is computed.
Songs which are reconverted are done much faster, as the beats per minute value computed earlier for each is reused.
Sorry, no real changes to Dancing Monkeys itself, other that some tiny bug fixes and the new "refine" mode. I'm afraid I've run out of time and am off to other things, but at least Gorilla is now much easier to install and use "out of the box".
Well, I'm finally gonna give this a shot!
Here's hoping it works amazingly!
* The "no stops" feature didn't remove all stops generated - oops; fixed.
* Gorilla's "save song list" feature somehow got broken in the 1.0.0 release - fixed.
* Other obscure Gorilla features have been added. My favorite is simply that if you load a directory into Gorilla, you can double-click on it and it'll expand to its subdirectories and songs. You can then delete what you don't want to process.
I'd love to tell you that Dancing Monkeys itself has been improved in functionality, but sadly it ain't so - I don't have the time, and no one else has taken up the reins. That said, I just tried the commercial product "Dance Factory", and so far Dancing Monkeys makes much more challenging steps (when it doesn't fail ) than Dance Factory. Still, I need to try more songs with Dance Factory to be fair.
wow, dance factory got an awful review on gamespot, how ironic that a free program can do it better. . . but I wouldn't be too surprised if somebody started using dancing monkeys to make money. in fact i kind of hope they do in the expectation that the profit motive will make it a really robust program. but this is a "give a mouse a cookie" sort of situation.
You can download free step files created by Dancing Monkeys for 18 songs from http://www.mediafire.com/?czwndzk5jil. Just unzip the file into your StepMania\Songs directory. All step files were created by Dancing Monkeys; my favorite is group_inou's "BPA". These tracks are free to redistribute and remix, for noncommercial use, under the Creative Commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/. They're from the Diesel:U:Music 2006 competition; see the ReadMe in the zip file for more info.
If the download link does not work for you, try using Internet Explorer (I had problems using Firefox). There's also an alternate download site at RapidShare http://rapidshare.com/files/8406027/Diesel_2006.zip.html, though they have queuing, verification, etc. Enjoy!
By the way, if you have problems running Dancing Monkeys on your system, please go check the Tutorial page at http://www.monket.net/dancing-monkeys/tutorial. I've added some new solutions to common problems. For example, in countries where "," is used as a decimal point, Dancing Monkeys will fail, but there's a workaround. See the page for details.
The only change from teh previous version is that dreaded "Runtime error 13" that effects many computers not set to UK or US language.
Have fun, and be sure to let me know (Contact details on the Dancing Monkeys website) if you find any other bugs or have any feature requests.
Gorilla 1.1.4 is out: fixes some problems with checkboxes and how VB interprets them. Get it if you've had any errors with checkboxes.
Since the site has been down for quite some time now, I am wondering if anyone still have a version of the programs and / or the source for those projects.
Download it, run the .exe to install, read the docs to understand the nuances or fix problems. Personally, I have problems attaching to mediafire, so I also uploaded to (the more annoying but dependable) rapidshare: http://rapidshare.com/files/61822574/DancingGorilla-1.1.4-1.06.zip - just follow the minefield of buttons and typing to get the download for free.
As usual, feel free to write me if there are problems.

If only we still had Davenport!
Fixed that for you :p Love you Maniac, but thought this was funny.
The trick is not to let the facts get in the way of your opinions Ruthless.
I would never trade next year's first. We're an I jury to Ben away from a very high draft pick IMO.
I would make that trade if it were available.


A video has circulated online on May 28, 2018 showing restaurant workers washing plates in the outdoors in yellow-coloured, dirty water. According to social media posts, the restaurant is Raj's Banana Leaf in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, specifically their Bangsar Baru branch.
In the video posted by netizen Raajiv DeNario, he includes an expletive aimed at the restaurant for the way they allegedly handled their dishes. It can be seen that the dishes are washed on the ground from an unknown but obviously dirty source of water.
The restaurant, which has several branches, has published the following announcement on their Facebook page, admitting that the video is at one of their restaurants.
We would like to apologise for an unfortunate incident by our newly recruited staffs at our Bangsar outlet recently. This has never happened before, and should not have had happened. We also want to assure you that Raj's Banana Leaf consistently passes the health inspections conducted regularly.
We are very sorry by the regrettable actions by our new staffs and understand that this is not acceptable. We will continue to monitor our kitchen attentively and carefully, as hygiene and cleanliness are our top priority. Strict actions have been taken against these staffs and we would also like to ensure you that it will not happen again.
We truly understand your concerns. However I hope you will still give us a chance to serve you in the future. Please come back for a complementary "Buka Puasa" dinner at Raj's Banana Leaf BANGSAR outlet only from 7.30pm-9.30pm on 31-05-2018 (Thursday) and feel free to personally get in touch with me if you have further concerns.
We very much appreciate your patronage, and again, we are sincerely sorry for what had happened and ensure this would never happen again. Thank you very much.
According to the post above, it is the fault of their "new staff," and happened only at their Bangsar Baru branch. They insisted that they regularly pass inspections.
They ensured the public that the staff in the video have been dealt with and that this sort of thing will not happen again.
To placate the angry public, they have offered free dinner for diners from 7:30pm to 9:30pm on May 31, Thursday.
Will you be going to their free dinner after watching that video? Let us know in the comments!
Read about this refrigerator sold online that may be dirtier than Raj's Banana Leaf Restaurant's technique of washing dishes.

Think Ocean's 11 plus dragons, and you'll have a rough idea of what to expect in Fire & Heist by Sarah Beth Durst, the action-packed, magic-filled dragon heist you didn't know you needed.
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Durst's writing, and Fire & Heist is definitely a new favorite. I love a good heist plot, and this one is executed fabulously. As with her other books, Durst keeps you on your toes and throws in some of the most delightful and unexpected twists throughout the book.
For starters, this is set in a world much like our own … except wyverns (aka were-dragons) are a real thing, and they're obsessed with gold and treasure. I loved the combination of contemporary setting with fantasy; it's something Durst does very well, and it shows throughout Fire & Heist.
Sky, her rambunctious older brothers, her fantasy-obsessed (newish) best friend, and her lovesick ex-boyfriend are such fantastic characters — and they help really make the book entertaining and delightful. As much as this is a fantasy, action-packed heist saga, it also provides plenty of laughs — and those funny moments come as a result of the wonderful characters.
Fire & Heist is the perfect standalone fantasy caper; it's got plenty to sink your teeth into, with a satisfying conclusion — plus fabulous characters and a too cute romance. Look for it in stores December 4th.

Q: Do you have to have the Dawnguard DLC to become a werewolf? Do I have to have the Dawnguard DLC to become a werewolf in Skyrim? I'm buying the game just for me to become one so please answer my question.

A: You don't need Dawnguard DLC to be werewolf. But having Dawnguard, you will have another tree perk for werewolf that will give your werewolf more edge than being an ordinary werewolf without the Dawnguard DLC.

A: No, to become a werewolf you must do some quests in the Companions quest line, which is available without Dawnguard. In Dawnguard, you get the ability to turn into a Vampire Lord.
Long story short, no, you do not need the Dawnguard DLC to become a werewolf.

A: Yes u can Become a werewolf within the base game by doing two main quest missions and then two Radiant quests for the companions, I am unsure whether or not random werewolf attacks give you the disease of lycanthropy, but , I do know for definite that with the dawngaurd DLC, You can become a vampire way easier due to the more concurrent vampire attacks, That will happen on a regular, this does not make you a vampire lord only Lord Harkon and Sarana Can bestow that gift. :)

A: You don't need it, but if you have Dawnguard, werewolves will encounter randomly, meaning you don't have to do quests, just gotta stay alive from them.

Elena Poniatowska, teljes nevén Hélène Elizabeth Louise Amélie Paula Dolores Poniatowska Amor (Párizs, 1932. május 19. –) Mexikó egyik legismertebb írója és újságírója.

A mexikói Paulette Dolores Amor (akinek a családja Franciaországba menekült, miután a mexikói forradalomban kisajátították földjüket) és a lengyel, nemesi származású Jean Evremont Poniatowski frigyéből született 1932-ben  Párizsban. (A több helyütt fellelhető 1933 mint születési év Emmanuel Carballo antológiájában megjelent helytelen időpont gyakori lemásolásának köszönhető). 1941-ben édesanyja a nácik elől visszamenekült Mexikóba, miközben apjuk a háború végéig küzdött a francia ellenállásban és csak 1945-ben utazott Mexikóba. Néhány erre az időre emlékeztető emlékét az írónő önéletrajzi regényében feldolgozta "Flor de Lis" (1988). A szintén költő Guadalupe ("Pita") Amor (1920-2000) anyai nagynénje volt.

Spanyolul a dadustól (Magdalena Castillo) tanult meg nyolcévesen, mivel a szülei ezt nem tartották fontosnak, de Elena már kora gyermekkorától nem illett bele a lengyel hercegnői szerepbe, hisz ahelyett, hogy rangjához illően megházasodott volna, inkább újságírásba kezdett és olyan sikeres volt, hogy rövid időn belül igen keresett lett a munkája.

The owners of this home cinema are big sci-fi fans, and chose to reference The Matrix and Cube in this impressive eight-seater Wavetrain design.
So Wavetrain suggested making the cinema smaller, and using the remaining space to create a bar at the back of the room. With this agreed, the cinema room design was settled quickly, referencing The Matrix with that digital rain printed on acoustically-transparent fabric. The front image is printed on a roman blind that descends in front of the screen to line up with the wall panels. It's a sensational overall look.
Meanwhile the bar offered an opportunity to reference another of the owners' favourite films, the Cube series of Canadian sci-fi thrillers. "The bar needed to stand alone as a piece of architecture, not just a theme," says David. "We used the circuit-board design of Cube, with the walls cycling through nine LED colours selected by the client from the thousands possible. These change slowly, every five minutes and blending over 10 seconds — the owner refers to it as an 'amazingly mysterious experience'". The joinery here is impeccable in the way it intersects with the bar's colour-backed glass and the stainless-steel bar, under the ever-shifting colours of the circuit-board design on the walls. "This was the hardest part of the whole design to get right, with the change in levels and needing also to drop the ceiling in this area for the air-conditioning plant," says David.
"And to allow enough space for the AV equipment. It was all very tight!" Sonic performance is, of course, at the heart of this cinema. Instinct was responsible for the supply and install of the AV equipment, with Wavetrain specifying the Cary Audio amplification and Triad speakers required to achieve those industry-reference sound pressure levels — a combination of four subwoofers is used to balance the room's standing waves and deliver an even bass response across the cinema. Sources include a choice of AppleTV, Plex media serving and one component new to us, chosen by the owner — a Dune HD Base 3D Media Player capable of full-HD 3D playback, with various extensions to deliver a clean interface with full metadata available.
