Sydney-born actor Murray Bartlett, 50, made his screen debut aged 16 in medical soap The Flying Doctors. He worked in Australian TV and film before being cast as a guest star in Sex and the City in 2002. Subsequent TV credits include Dom Basaluzzo in HBO's gay comedy-drama Looking and Michael "Mouse" Tolliver in the Netflix revival of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City. This year, he starred as luxury Hawaii spa resort manager Armond in HBO's hit satire The White Lotus, shown in the UK on Sky Atlantic.
How did you land your role in The White Lotus?
I did a self-tape audition in lockdown, then spoke to [writer/director] Mike White on the phone. Before I knew it, I was on the plane to Hawaii and landing in paradise, which was bizarre and thrilling. There'd been times early in the pandemic when I thought: "Should I get another skill? Maybe acting won't be a thing any more." So The White Lotus came as an extraordinary surprise. I felt guilty talking to my actor friends about it because it was such a dreamy job.
How was the experience of filming it in lockdown?
We had the entire resort, living and working there, and couldn't leave for the whole two-and-a-half-month shoot. It was weird and wonderful to be in a five-star resort for that long. It felt like a TV summer camp. We worked hard, but at the end of the day we'd go down to the beach and swim at sunset. You could put your head underwater and hear the whales. We were pinching ourselves.
A lot of people dressed up as White Lotus characters for Halloween. One guy here in Cape Cod dressed as the Pineapple Suite
How did you go about creating the character of Armond?
The scripts were mind-blowingly well written and I instantly felt like I'd come across Armond-like characters in my life. Me and Mike agreed that for all his showmanship and largeness, we wanted him to feel like a real person, not a caricature. That way, we could unleash him later, when he's drugged up and flying. I just want to kiss Mike all over his face. A role like that is a gift. There were moments of terror, but mostly it was pure joy.
Some people compared Armond to Basil Fawlty. Did that similarity occur to you?
Not until I started hearing it when the show aired. I took it as a huge compliment, because I grew up watching Fawlty Towers and John Cleese is such a genius.
Your cast mate Lukas Gage, who plays Dillon the waiter, went viral after a director criticised his apartment during a Zoom audition…
That blew up while we shooting and we all watched it [laughs]. It's great that Lukas had the last laugh. He's an awesome guy.
You and he had one particularly, ahem, exuberant sex scene together. What was it like filming that?
There's always an awkwardness to those scenes, especially if your face is in someone's butt in front of 60 strangers, but by that stage we were well into the shoot and having so much fun. Lukas and I came up with that ourselves, not only to reflect the dynamic between our characters but also to be suitably shocking for the guy who walks in on us. When we told Mike what we'd come up with, he was like, "Oh my God, can we do that?", with a shit-eating grin on his face.

How did you pull off that suitcase scene?
I wouldn't want to give away the mystery of such a magical TV moment [laughs]. What I can tell you is that it wasn't me. I mean, it's my pretty impressive thigh control helping me squat over the suitcase, but the rest happened in post-production. We filmed it in several different ways and the final version didn't look quite how I'd imagined. I was a little horrified when I first saw it. Watching yourself explicitly taking a shit on TV is fairly confrontational. But I soon got over it, because it's such an epic moment. Mike's not afraid to go to those places. There's not much difference between what Armond's doing in that scene and the way certain other characters treat people like shit. It's kind of brilliant in that way.
Did you enjoy all the memes that did the rounds?
Those memes where the suitcase represented people's 2021 plans and I was Covid, crapping on them, were very funny. A lot of people dressed up as White Lotus characters for Halloween, too. One guy here in Cape Cod [where Bartlett lives] dressed as the Pineapple Suite. He had a pineapple lampshade on his head, pineapple curtains hanging from his shoulders and a suitcase strapped to his front. He'd unzip it and there was a big shit in there. So creative [laughs].
When gay drama Looking was cancelled after two seasons, fans campaigned for it to continue. That must have been a huge compliment?
We all believed in that show so much, so it was very gratifying that people wanted more. Many of the positive responses also came from places in the world where people can't live freely as queer people. It helped them feel less alone. It's great to feel your work has a purpose. We would've been happy to do Looking for years. I have the "Dom's Chicken" neon sign [his character's street-food stall] in my backyard and those guys are still my best friends.

It got called "the gay Sex and the City". And of course, you were in Sex and the City too…
[Laughs] I carried the baton from show to show. Sex and the City was my first job in the US. It was a very New York story. I knew someone who heard the producers were looking for a non-American to play this shoe importer. Before I knew it, I was on-set with Sarah Jessica Parker, which was both exciting and terrifying. I was a huge fan of the show, so to suddenly be in it, opposite characters I adored, felt dreamlike. That job laid the groundwork for me staying in the US, so it was pivotal for me.
Two years ago came the Tales of the City revival. Were the books or original TV adaptation important to you?
Very much. The first time I went to San Francisco in the 90s, I stayed with a friend who had the first season on VHS. I devoured it all, fell completely in love with it and subsequently read the books. I wasn't closeted and didn't have major issues coming out, but somehow Tales of the City still made me feel free. It's so full of promise and possibility, it had a profound impact on me. Having the chance to meet Armistead [Maupin] and step into that world years later was magical.
Next up is The Last of Us, HBO's post-apocalyptic drama based on the video game. What can you tell us about it?
It's co-created by Craig Mazin, who did Chernobyl. The scripts he's written blew my head off. It's an epic show, but beautifully human and intimate. We filmed it in Calgary. A lot of my scenes are with Nick Offerman. Playing off him was awesome.
What kept you sane in lockdown?
Long walks with the dog and cooking. There's amazing seafood here, so I cooked a lot of fresh tuna and swordfish. I stole a lot from Yotam Ottolenghi's spices, because he's a genius with flavour. In fact, as I'm talking to you, my laptop is sitting on a stack of Ottolenghi books.
Are you hoping for some recognition for The White Lotus in awards season?
It would be the icing on the cake. Or perhaps the rose harissa on the swordfish.
The White Lotus is available for streaming on Sky Atlantic and Now TV

Q: How to reverse proxy an Nginx server to different web apps based on username and password Context:
I have two identical python web apps running on ports http://localhost:6001/ and http://localhost:6002/respectively. Both of these apps serve the same end points but they process input data (from users) slightly differently. We can consider them as dev instance and staging instance.
Now I want to add Nginx web server as a reverse proxy for both of these websites. There are 2 reasons for this:

*

*I don't want users to access these two ports directly. I want to hide these 2 ports from public and make them accessible via only the port on which Nginx server is listening. Let's say it is listening on port 7000

*To add a username password setup to authenticate the users (with the help of auth_basic and proxy_pass provided by Nginx)

Current Setup:
First I tried implementing the basic auth for one app. I have a file named pyapp under /etc/nginx/sites-available. I linked the same file to the location /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/. The configuration file looks like this:
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    '' close;
}

server{
    listen 7000;
    server_name _;

    location / {
            auth_basic "baisc auth";
            auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6001/;
            include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
    }

    location ^~ /static {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6001/static/;
    }

    location ^~ /healthz {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6001/healthz/;
    }

    location ^~ /vendor {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6001/vendor/;
    }

    location /stream { # this is a socket

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6001/stream/;

        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        proxy_read_timeout 86400;
    }
}

With this setup, when I directly enter http://127.0.0.1:7000/ in my browser, I get the prompt to enter username and password. I enter the credentials which are present in .htpasswd file (which I created). Now I get to see the app which is running on port 6001 while the address in browser still shows http://127.0.0.1:7000/. So far so good.
Question:
Is there a way that I can do a conditional proxy_pass based on the username and password entered? basically when user visits http://127.0.0.1:7000/

*

*if username1 and password1 are entered, then load the app from port 6001

*if username2 and password2 are entered, then load the app from port 6002
I'm aware that we can get the details of authenticated user with $REMOTE_USER and also use a variable (something like $app_port) for storing the port of the app (idea is to replace harcoded 6001 with this variable and set it to 6001 or 6002 based on $REMOTE_USER). But I'm new to Nginx and not aware if this is actually possible because I couldn't find much info regarding this
It will be of great help if anyone can point me to the right documentation. Thanks a ton!!
PS: Here is a similar question that is close to what I want to do. Please let me know if I can provide more relevant information which improves clarity.

Take a Staycation in Fort Point: Artist Spruces Up the Harbor With Floating Palm Trees
A local visionary set up some tropical reminders that the cold can't last forever.
By Steve Annear·	 4/28/2014, 3:47 p.m.

Although the weather has yet to offer people more than a few consecutive days of warmth this spring, one resident's artwork is reminding everyone that it won't stay cold forever.
As part of a project called "Tropical Fort Point," designer Peter Agoos plopped more than a dozen palm trees into the harbor between the Congress and Summer Street bridges.
The temporary, floating public art project not only brightens a landscape overcast by the drab weather, but it also calls attention to the lack of "quality" open space in the Fort Point Channel neighborhood for these types of installations.
The motivation for the project also embraces a message about the importance of continuing the discussions on climate change. The floating trees, which look as though they are sprouting and growing right out of the murky harbor water, were inspired in part by Agoos seeing the Sudbury River flood an adjacent wooded wetland area this spring. According to the artist, the bottoms of the trees were submerged in the river's overflow, making the landscape look more like a "wooded wetland."
The project was originally supposed to rely on the installation of evergreens to get the point across to passerby, but due to the salt-resistant capabilities of the plants he used for "Tropical Fort Point," he opted for the majesty palms instead. "This tongue–in–cheek preview of the effect of rising tides stakes a claim to the Channel wetscape as an unexploited green space," Agoos said in a statement.
The concept was made possible with the help of the Fort Point Arts Community, in partnership with Friends of Fort Point Channel. The floating majesty palms will stay up in the area through June 15, as part of an "expanded public art series" that's planned for May. Three additional art installations, which haven't been revealed yet, will go up in the Fort Point Channel next month.
The majesty palms, installed by workers and Agoos on April 28, also kick-off a weekend-long open studio series in the neighborhood, beginning May 9, called the Fort Point Spring Open Studios Weekend. During that time, more than 75 artists will open their doors to the public. Studios will be open Friday evening from 4-7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 12-5 p.m., according to event details.

The Save Game Review: Star Wars Battlefront
Tuesday, December 8th, 2015
Reviews, Xbox One
6 out of 10 Sound
Our review for Star Wars: Battlefront is now up! We jump into the new game and put it through its paces, all while reminiscing over other Star Wars games. It's been a long, long time since a game took us to that galaxy far, far away. The games set in the Star Wars universe were more prolific once, many refusing to be bound by either expectation or genre. They weren't all great and didn't appeal to everybody, but some of the highlights of gaming can be found here.
Review: Need for Speed

9 out of 10 Excellent Recommended
There are many things that could be said about the latest Need for Speed game, but what stands out most about the experience of playing is the narrative. This is not meant to detract at all from the gameplay itself, which feels great in almost all circumstances, but there is so much character brimming through the same that it's hard for anything else to eclipse the tone it sets. Welcome to Hoon Town.
Fallout 4: First Impressions
Featured, PC, PS4, Reviews, Xbox One
This first impressions article is based on approximately 8 hours of gameplay and is spoiler free Fallout 4, the latest entry in the post-nuclear-apocalypse RPG series is easily one of the most highly anticipated titles of the last few years. Expectations were at an all-time high following Bethesda's impressive showing at E3 this year, meaning that the final product was going to have to be extremely high class to live up to the hype. Thankfully, for the most part, it does. But it also falls painfully short in some areas.
Review – The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
9.5 out of 10 Excellent Recommended
Even in writing this, in putting a summation of my experience with the game down into words, I still don't know how one would actually review The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. CD Projekt Red's third instalment in the life of the titular witcher, Geralt of Rivia, is a game that feels larger than any of the behemoths one might encounter while playing.
Review: Submerged
PC, PS4, Reviews, Xbox One
8 out of 10 Great Recommended
There has always been something magical for me about a game that takes to the waves, of rocking back and forth atop the endless blue, or on occasion speeding across it as fast as you can. It doesn't necessarily turn a game into more than it might already be, but what it does is convey a sense of tranquility. The other type of moment that goes side-by-side with gliding across an ocean is the pour-down bliss of a golden sun, shimmering light across the wet expanse. Uppercut Games have blended both of these experiences together with Submerged.

Review – Jaws of Hakkon
If you've ever played a Bioware game, you know that by the time the first cutscene is over, you're going to have a dozen new codex entries to read right off the bat. We all saw how crucial lore was in Inquisition – it was like they sharpened it and very sneakily stabbed us in the back with it. Inquisition's first story-based DLC, Jaws of Hakkon, is now out and available for all platforms, and while it doesn't address our elven-pantheon related questions, it does give us an extra adventure with new allies and enemies in a beautiful new area […]
Review: The Evil Within Story DLC – The Assignment & The Consequence

Featured, PC, PS3, PS4, Reviews, Xbox One, Xbox360
8 out of 10 Great
Tango Gameworks and Bethesda's The Evil Within promised "a return to the roots of survival horror", and with one of the fathers of the genre Shinji Mikami at the helm, it definitely had plenty of potential. Sadly, the game was heavily marred by technical bugs, poor design choices and an almost incomprehensible narrative. All the key ingredients for a great game were there, but they weren't executed properly. But it seems old Shinji and his pals had a few tricks left up their sleeves, and the two story-focused DLC's, The Assignment and The Consequence almost completely redeem the franchise. Many […]
Bladestorm: Nightmare – The Save Game Review
PC, PS3, PS4, Reviews, Xbox One, Xbox360
5 out of 10 Average
Bladestorm: Nightmare is a near seven year old game rejigged for the new era of consoles, although why anyone thought it was a good idea to do that, instead of just building an entirely new game, is beyond me. It's like someone in the back office wasn't ready to pull the trigger on a sequel, and settled on another cliched 'HD update' instead.

The music blasts out of the speakers as I fly down the street, bullets ricocheting off the car all around me as the police try to take me, or the car, out of play.

This is NOT all in your head.
You can resolve this with the right help.
Nothing, including your situation, is permanent.
You will find it when you ask the right questions.
You've searched and searched but you didn't find an answer out there to give you a long term solution for your problem.
Would you be open to a different solution that has proven to get real results?
Your pain is trying to tell you something! Until you listen, it will continue to show up in increasingly more attention-getting ways. It will not stop until you get the message.
Are you ready to be guided in how to listen and what to do about it?
If you're thinking, "I'm not in physical pain, I'm dealing with fill-in-the-blank!" Hang in there with me! It could be depression, anxiety, trauma, struggles with weight, digestion, yo-yo dieting, emotional eating, money pain, and the list goes on. If whatever you put in that blank causes you frustration, emotional pain, financial worry, ongoing stress, or just irritates the living daylights out of you, then you are in the right place. If you're so tired of the condition you are currently in and are truly ready for a way out, then this is your next step to take… you have come to the right place!!
If you haven't heard my story, let it suffice to say for now that I was once curled in a ball on my closet floor, crying my eyes out, screaming "WHY ME?" and praying for a solution to the suffering that had plagued me for years.
If you're like I was when I was dealing with my challenges, you might be trying to FIGURE IT OUT AND THINK YOUR WAY OUT OF YOUR SITUATION. Maybe you spend your mental energy thinking about what specialist might have the solution, what treatment or diet or supplement might melt it away, what you're eating wrong, saying wrong, doing wrong! The energy you spend on this never-ending search is most likely wearing you out and adding to the painful problem, not to mention the oftentimes financial cost. What if you discovered that all of this might be totally unnecessary?
Would it be worth one day and less than the cost of a single doctor visit to see if there is an easier way out of your pain that will not only release you from your suffering, but also empower you to prevent new and different forms of pain and challenges in the future?
The worst thing that will happen is that your mind will doubt this can work– just like I did! As a woman with a degree in psychology who stacked on certifications in clinical hypnotherapy, hypno-anesthesiology, and chemical dependency counseling, I was certain the realm of Western medicine had a solution. But I've never seen results with those forms of treatment that compare to the astonishing results, relief, and increased energy you'll receive and experience in our Day Of Biofield Healing®!
Your doubt, judgement, and skepticism are more than welcome here. As a matter of fact, I'd be suspicious if you didn't bring them along for the ride.
Things are about to shift. I'm here to help guide you.
Be introduced to "must-have" tools designed to stop the vicious patterns that cause you unnecessary stress and dis-ease in your body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
The Recorded Biofield Healing Immersion® sessions are just as powerful as the live sessions, and in fact, some people prefer the recordings over the live event!
Evolve Now! Set: For those who are ready to delve even more deeply into their evolutionary work, these recordings contain more direct information for you to play with. Not only are they hugely comforting, they contain wisdom and knowledge that will further enhance your journey of transformation.
First, THANK YOU! Thank you, Debora Wayne for the fact that I could just walk into my kitchen – with crutches – but I WALKED!
I have an MS (multiple sclerosis) diagnosis and disability due to injuries from an assault.
I listened to your recording, and WOW! Over the last few hours, pain is being released as years of trauma are freed and released.
I have worked with doctors and therapists using CPT, DBT, EFT, EMDR, and PE to process and release trauma with little effect on my physical condition.
As a PhD holding chemical physicist, I have known the pain is energetic in origin, but have not been able to address it alone.
Today is one of those days that divides experience into everything that came before, and all that comes after. I will always remember 2/13/17 as my Freedom Day, Transformation Day, and Birth Day.
The word gratitude doesn't seem sufficient to describe what I am feeling.
You have given me the opportunity to make the rest of my life the best of my life.
I can literally feel decades of facades and crust of false beliefs and trauma melting away and a fresh lightness, a new light, bursting forth from within. It is a miracle in every way.
I had a breakthrough on this morning's call as well! This is an emotional wound I have worked to access for years. It cracked open. I am at a loss to describe the feeling. I am deeply, profoundly grateful.
I can tell I am going to be a Pied Piper for Biofield Healing. I have studied meditation, Zen Buddhism, shamanism, and more.
I have experienced extraordinary spiritual growth, but the physical pain has remained.
Until now. I feel I have found the missing piece.
"Before Debora's program, I was unhappy with several parts of my body, and thinking about how and what to eat.
I am more steadily attuned to how I feel and enjoy eating now.
I lost weight without trying.
I find I crave vegetables and fruits more.


Deadmau5 recently spoke with BBC Radio One's Zane Lowe and in a revealing interview, the Mau5 opened up about the new album, the state of contemporary dance music, and his plans for a colossal 360 degree stadium tour. The two disc album While (1<2), which will be released on June 17th, will offer a variety of styles that aim to "remove some of the stigma of being 'the guy that plays the dance music," but also provide longtime fans with the music that they love.
He goes on to describe the supporting tour as "a doozy" and bigger than a Bon Jovi concert. To take things up a notch Deadmau5 divulged by stating, "We've been working with some really top production companies that aren't the top production companies in EDM; they're the top production companies. They're coming back to me and saying, 'Dude, you have the biggest balls'.

A Roads and Maritime Services spokesperson said Rebecca Lilly will be used to lift the second pier skirt into place, which is expected to happen next week, weather permitting.
"The Rebecca Lilly is in Grafton to lift and place the pier skirt for pier three.
"The additional barge is needed because the service cranes on the two existing barges, 'Maeve Anne' and 'Rhumb,' are not big enough to manage the complex lift for the precast skirt.
"Maeve Anne has been in Grafton since May this year and will continue to place steel casings and drill foundation of the marine piles.
The Rebecca Lilly is 55 metres long, 24 metres wide and has a 300 tonne crane on board. It will return to Harwood on Tuesday 5 December.
The spokesperson said work on the Grafton bridge project is progressing well.
"Since Rhumb arrived in October, work in the Clarence River has powered along.
More information on the Grafton bridge project is available on Roads and Maritime Services' website.

New system announced for choosing GA workshops
Most General Assembly workshops will focus on congregational growth, new directions in ministry, and social justice.
Jane Greer 10/19/2009
The General Assembly Planning Committee has announced a new system for choosing workshops for the annual General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Under the new system, announced October 16, three thematic program tracks will be offered, with a variety of workshops offered within each track. The new system will provide coherence and quality in GA workshop programming, organizers say.
The Planning Committee will select 100 workshops on three broad themes for the 2010 General Assembly—"Growing the Congregations We Want To Be," "Embracing Evolving Ministries," and "Building a More Just Community"—from proposals submitted by November 16. Sixty other workshops or events will round out the programming at the June 23-27, 2010, GA in Minneapolis.
In the past, a majority of the 160 GA workshop slots were assigned to UUA districts, UUA staff groups, Associate and Independent Affiliate organizations, and theological schools. These groups were free to produce whatever workshops they wanted on whatever subject they wanted. However, complaints had been received over the years about uneven workshop quality and random, sometimes repetitive content, said Elisabeth McGregor, GA Planning Committee chair.
Feedback about GA programs and special pre-GA programs that had been offered in recent years had also let planners know that UUs hungered for in-depth workshop programming, McGregor said. Three years ago, the UUA began offering "UU University," a special lay leadership program just before GA, in which participants were invited to attend workshops devoted to a particular theme or "track." At the 2009 GA, UU University programming was offered at the same time as regular GA programming. In a survey after the 2009 GA, participants indicated that they appreciated the opportunity for in-depth learning at UU University but were frustrated by having to commit to nine hours of workshop programming in one area.
UU University will not be offered next year although organizers hope to bring it back in the future.
GA planners have adapted UU University's track system, and will offer sets of individual 75-minute workshops within each track. Attendance at the workshops is optional: People can choose to immerse themselves in multiple workshops in a particular track, McGregor said, or they can pick and choose from different tracks. In addition to the 100 workshops that will be devoted to the three tracks, around 60 workshops will be offered on a range of other subjects so that people can also choose not to follow a track.
The "Growing Congregations" track will look at ways of increasing attendance and vitality and incorporating best practices at UU congregations. The "Embracing Evolving Ministries" track will look at ways to shape UU ministry to prepare for America's increasingly multicultural and multiethnic future. The "Just Community" track will examine ways that UUs can act for justice and work with other groups on social issues such as BGLT rights, racism, and immigration reform.
The three tracks were chosen by a Program Development Group, which consists of seven UUA staff members and two members of the GA Planning Committee: the Rev. Harlan Limpert, UUA Vice President for Ministries and Congregational Support; the Rev. Jory Agate, UUA Ministerial Development Director; the Rev. Alicia Forde, UUA Program Coordinator for Multicultural Congregations; Erik Kesting, UUA Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries; the Rev. Terasa Cooley, district executive of the UUA's Massachusetts Bay District; the Rev. Nancy Bowen, district executive of the UUA's Mountain Desert District; Rob Keithan, Director of the UUA Washington Office for Advocacy and Witness; Elisabeth McGregor, GA Planning Committee chair; and Barbara Atlas, leader of the Planning Committee's programs task group.
In a statement posted on their website on October 16, the Planning Committee said that proposed workshops would be evaluated using the criteria of "mission, congregational relevance, and excellence." The Program Development Group will also be able to seek out key speakers and programs.
"Because all program applications will go through the PDG, a more strategic and intentional 'assortment' of GA programs will be allocated," wrote Limpert in a UUA email announcement October 15. "A district, for example, which has historically been given two slots, might get more—or none—depending on what is proposed and how it fits into the larger need of congregational leaders."
Jan Sneegas, the UUA's director of General Assembly and Conference Services, said that she was pleased with this new direction for programming. "It's really an intentional decision to improve the quality of programming," she said. "Before, the Planning Committee had no quality assurance mechanism. It's a way to say that we want programming that reflects the mission of the association and not any particular group's agenda."
People can file initial GA workshop proposals starting October 16.

Gaahls WYRD – GastiR – Ghosts Invited (Season of Mist)
Gaahl is synonymous with black metal and is a true uber behemoth of the world, a demi god, if you will, of the genre and any new work by the master is welcomed with open arms. Gaahls Wyrd has been built from the ashes of another of Gaahls previous works, God Seed, in the winter of 2015. This majestic phoenix has also been conceived in the memory and honour of the legacy of Gaahls first band, Trelldom.
Gaahl is known for his vocals with the Norwegian black metal giants Gorgoroth, and then God Seed, when he and King Ov Hell departed ways with Infernus from Gorgoroth following a unceremonious court battle where it was deemed that Infernus owned the Gorgoroth name and Gaahl and King had excluded themselves from the band by trying to oust Infernus. Gaahl is also known as vocalist with Wardruna for 12 years up until 2015, a career path which is not as obvious or well known, as some of his other projects.
Gaahls Wyrd are now ready to unleash their debut album into the abyss and carve open the underworld to their black arts with passion and venom a plenty.
'GastiR – Ghosts Invited' opens with 'Ek Erilar' and starts off with an eerie intro before growling vocals take control amidst a back drop of ferocious guitars and drums intertwining to create a demonical passage. Towards the end of the track the guitars from Kilman and the drums of Spektre seem to freelance and go off on differing tangents yet keeping an air of unity together on top of mesmerising vocals and enchanting
'From The Spear' opens with a rawer drum sound and more tinny guitar acoustics than previously expected from the release. The vocals are more visceral and help to create an air of pain and suffering. The track dissects itself with a certain punk sound whilst keeping the black metal undercurrent. The guitars create a catchy riff, while solos are exhibited intermittently and these work tirelessly throughout the track to create a build-up of ferocity and lead to a crescendo, which reaches the pinnacle and then slows mid track to create a more rounded and full bodied element to the track.
'Ghosts Invited' opens up with a slow and pounding soul with a groove and jazz undertone. The vocals are doomier and depressive and are clearer than you would expect from the former God Seed and Gorgoroth icon. Mid way through, the pace quickens yet the vocals remain on the depressive tangent, almost reminiscent of some of Nick Holmes finer work. The bass of Eld needs a highlight in this particular track as it provides the muscle and attitude to the proceedings which help to create the monster, the behemoth that has been awoken.
The album then continues in much the same vain, 'Carving The Voices', 'Veiztu Hve' and 'The Speech And The Self' are all quicker numbers and seem to allow Gaahl to flaunt his vocal talents amidst the backdrop of technical and intricate fretwork, of both the four and six string variety, and a pummelling and pulverising effort from the drum kit.
'Through And Past And Past' is a return to a more classic black metal sound and has raw vitriolic vocals spread across a fast and maniacal musical soul. This is a return to more classic Norwegian black metal and almost seems as though, for the tracks leading to this point, Gaahl was trying to rein it in and keep it under control before he could control it no more with this explosion of rawness and intent.
'Within The Voice Of Existence' starts with a slow and eerie introduction before beauty and splendour carve delicately into the fold. Vocals can be heard in the distance, lying faintly across a repetitive guitar riff and slow plodding gentle drum beats. Mid track, it turns the volume up whilst keeping much the same restraint and control, mirroring the previous body within the track.
The album as a whole is technical and accomplished while injecting its own brand of black metal into the proceedings. There are also glimmers of the more traditional Norwegian black metal we have known from Gaahls previous outlets, but this package opens you up to a new breed of the black arts and is very measured and methodical in its deliverance. If you are after vicious and hatred filled raw black metal then you may well be disappointed with this, if you however have an eclectic love of the blackened beast, then this may be for you, this delivers atmosphere and brutality in an elegant and beautiful angelic cadaver.

Nearly half of ONT 'Covid-19 patients' in hosp for reasons unrelated to bug, admits On Health Min. Christine Elliott (twitter.com)

It's all homeless people filling up the ER's, and has been for years. What a colossal farce that we've shut down our country for 2 years to accommodate people who are never going to even work or contribute to society.

Finally, Ontario breaks down their nigh on useless pie charts with slightly, more data.
Ontario, Canada has acknowledged that many of the people reported to be hospitalized with Covid-19 were actually admitted because of other health conditions and were incidentally found to be infected with the virus.
Of the 3,220 people hospitalized with Covid-19 in the province, 54% were admitted because of the virus, Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott said on Tuesday. The other 46% were at hospitals for medical treatments unrelated to the pandemic, but they tested positive for the virus.
Elliott said that starting on Wednesday, hospitalization data will be broken down to show cases that were incidental to admission, such as asymptomatic infections. "While this doesn't change the serious situation in Ontario's hospitals, it is important to share this data to provide additional context on the state of the pandemic."
Among Ontario's intensive-care patients with Covid-19, about 17% are incidental cases, Elliott said. More than 70% of patients were fully vaccinated against the virus before being hospitalized. A further 5.4% had received one jab, while the remaining 24% were unvaccinated. Nearly 45% of Covid-19 patients in intensive-care units were unjabbed. More than 88% of Ontario residents are fully vaccinated against the virus.
– DoggyDawg 2 points 16 days ago +2 / -0
70% of patients in Ontario hospitals with ICU are fully vaccinated. 5% are partially vaccinated. 24% are unvaccinated.
Compare that to the percentage of Ontarians full vaccinated, at 77%, partially vaccinated at 5%, and unvaccinated at 18%.
This is from Ontario's official stats:
https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data/hospitalizations
However, Ontario's "science table" wants you to believe that the proportion of unvaccinated to vaccinated patients in Ontario's hospitals is 3 times more.
Also, the Ontario science table's charts show a higher proportion of unvaccinated people being infected with Covid. This has not been the case since mid December. There hasn't been a single day since mid December that the proportion of unvaccinated people getting infected was higher than vaccinated.
Have a look at the manipulated data from the Ontario Science table:
https://covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashboard/
Looks like the Ontario science table has an agenda.

This consisted of the cornmeal crust+white corn+marinated onions+mozzarela+chives. Being a corn lover, this pizza was totally awesome! The cornmeal crust is definitely different, and unlike regular dough, actually has flavor and (when done right) enhances the whole pizza.
The corn, like I said, was *amazing*. The mushroom pizza was also good. The basil and sundried tomatoes were a really nice touch, but it still can't compare to the corn one.
We also got another of the specials, the spinach pesto. It's apparently very popular so it shows up on the specials a lot.
I think pesto makes everything that much better, so naturally I like this one a lot! They put a lot of pesto sauce. Spinach, pesto, and basil? How can you go wrong? The corn is still our favorite though (A friend of mine told the waiter that he should've told us to just order the corn pizza and nothing else :P But I'm glad I got the spinach pesto too!).
We ordered three slices for each person, which ended up being A LOT, since the cornmeal crust made the pizza very dense and very, very filling.

Friedreich's ataxia, Ataxia with ocular motor apraxia, Oculomotor apraxia
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a rare autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia which in the majority of cases is associated with a GAA-trinucleotide repeat expansion in the first intron of Frataxin gene located on chromosome 9. The clinical features include progressive gait and limb ataxia, cerebellar dysarthria, neuropathy, optic atrophy, and loss of vibration and proprioception. Ataxia with ocular motor apraxia type 1 (AOA1) is another autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia which is associated with oculomotor apraxia, hypoalbuminaemia, and hypercholesterolemia. Here we describe two siblings (13- and 10-year-old) display overlapping clinical features of both early-onset FRDA and AOA1. Almost all of laboratory test (including urinary analysis/culture, biochemistry, peripheral blood smear, C-reactive protein level, erythrocyte sedimentation rate-1h) results were within the normal range for both patients. Due to the normal laboratory test results; we concluded that the diagnosis was more likely to be FRDA than AOA1. Therefore, neurologists should bear in mind that clinical presentations of FRDA may vary widely from the classical phenotype of gait and limb ataxia to atypical manifestations such as oculomotor apraxia.

Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido: Station 40, Chirifu, c. 1833-1834
8 7/8 in. x 13 13/16 in. (225.43 mm x 350.84 mm)
Technique: Wood-block Printing
Period: Edo (Japan, 1615-1868)
Credit Line: Gift of Mrs. James W. Johnson
Alternate Title: Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi [Hoeidoban]: Chiryu, shuka umaichi
On mat in pencil: Exhibited Nov-Dec 1987 Clark Museum, Hiroshige Chiryu Station 40, Horse Fair in Early Summer. On paper mounting in pencil: Johnson Collection XIX 40. Signed: Hiroshige ga. Censor's seal: Kiwame.
Nishiki-e, horizontal oban; colored ink on paper.
Color woodblock print with an image of horses and workers in a field.
Chiryu was famous for its annual horse market. Held for ten days starting on the twenty-eighth day of the fourth month. With 400 or 500 horses, it was an impressive gathering. Hiroshige, however, could not have observed this fair if in fact he had traveled on the Tokaido road in 1832, because he would have passed Chiryu later, in summer. He nonetheless depicted this famous fair, an image based on the picture Chiryu, which appeared in the travel guide of the late eighteenth century, Tokaido meisho zue (Illustrated Book of Famous Places on the Tokaido Road).
From foreground to middle ground, many horses graze in the field, which is colored in tones of deep and light yellowish green. Some are attended by grooms. The gray and white round-bodied horses appear to be well fed. Under a large tree in the distance, hose traders have gathered. The illustration that Hiroshige alluded to in this print has many more horses and people. Here, he personalized the scene by limiting their numbers.
The smooth and expansive tembokashi effect in red, running from the top downward, and blue bokashi, from the horizon upward, are interrupted by only two trees.
The earliest state of Chiryu includes a mountain with a shape resembling a whale, colored in ink; in the late state, as here, the mountain is absent (Link1991, vol.2, p.20).

Businesses that rely on temp staff for day-to-day operations invest a significant amount of time and effort in functions such as candidate verification. A Blockchain-based verification system ensures that personal information is stored securely and accessible by anyone with permission. The digital verification process would be factual, trusted, and objective, preventing candidates from falsifying information. The platform also serves as a repository to rehire temp staff during peak seasons, reducing ramp-up time.
After a comparative study of Blockchain platforms, we suggested Ethereum blockchain, based on factors such as implementation method, use case applicability, availability of development tools, technical community support, and cost.
The blockchain application stores prevalidated information such as past employers, certifications, and compensation data. This decentralized database of resumes is owned and controlled by candidates and authenticated by the relevant stakeholders on the blockchain.
The smart contract and identity management functions were developed using Solidity scripts and deployed in Ropsten Network of Ethereum Blockchain. The backend APIs were developed in Python Django. The Python Django application interacts with the Blockchain using Web3 APIs. The responsive frontend (web) application was created using VueJs. The identity management module is implemented as a reusable Django app which can be installed in other Django applications.

Gap junction delta-2 (GJD2), also known as connexin-36 (Cx36) or gap junction alpha-9 (GJA9), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GJD2 gene.

Function

This gene is a member of the large family of connexins that are required for the formation of gap junctions. Six connexin monomers form a hemichannel, or connexon, on the cell surface. This connexon can interact with a connexon from a neighboring cell, thus forming a channel linking the cytoplasm of the 2 cells.

$7.5 Million Awarded to Restore Longleaf Pine Forests
The Longleaf Landscape Stewardship Fund (LLSF), a public-private partnership between ten nonprofit and government entities, recently announced its 2022 awards. With funding from the Orton Foundation— Moore Charitable Foundation's North Carolina affiliate—the awards include a record $7.5 million in grants to support the restoration and management of longleaf pine forests in nine southern states, including more than $1 million towards projects in North Carolina. Longleaf pine forests act as critical ecosystems for many species and provide benefits such as clean water, forest sector jobs, sites for recreational activities, and natural barriers for military installations.
"Strategic, collaborative, and result-oriented actions are critical to restoring the longleaf pine ecosystem at a landscape scale," said Louis Bacon, founder and chairman of the Orton Foundation, the North Carolina affiliate of The Moore Charitable Foundation. "We are proud to continue our support of NFWF's efforts to restore, enhance and protect critically threatened longleaf pine forests supporting the recovery of iconic and endangered species, and strengthening capacity of local organizations and communities to make impressive advances in forest health in the Southeast."

Maybe it didn't end there. Maybe it started with a kiss…
The only thing Ilan Nadav knows about relationships and marriage is that they ruin people. He's committed himself to the bachelor life, and he's never been happier—until his best friend had to go and fall in the sort of toe-curling, sonnet-writing kind of love. Witnessing that created a hunger in Ilan, and now all he can see is the people standing near him who deserved better than they got. And one of those people makes his heart beat a little bit harder and a little bit faster—but he's the last man in the world Ilan is allowed to want.
After all, Fredric Pedalino is his best friend's dad.
When Fredric comes to him for advice about dating men, Ilan is forced to re-write his own reality—and maybe his stance on love, because Fredric is the sort of man with the ability to sweep him off his feet. Even when he isn't trying.
Ilan wants Fredric more than he's ever wanted anyone before, but he's not sure he's willing to take the risk. After all, loving that man might cost him everything.
"I was on a date when you called me. My first real date maybe ever. You know, the kind that didn't mean a quick hook-up on my couch before I sent him packing." Ilan let out a huffing breath, and his fingers stroked absently over Fredric's knuckles, sending sparks shooting up his arm. "I saw your name and I knew if I answered that call, that would be it. It would be over."
"And you did answer," Fredric said softly.
"Yes," Ilan breathed out, "I did. I did, knowing what I was getting into—but I also did it thinking it was safe because there was no way you wanted… me."
Fredric's stomach twisted and his heart thrashed. He hated how hard this was, how complicated, how much fear ruled the moments between them. But like Teddy said to him, it would be worth the effort. "Except I do."
"And I don't know how to tell you no," but before Fredric could lean in and close the distance between them, Ilan went on. "And I don't know how to say yes."
Fredric nodded, deflating a little, but not pulling away. "Then have dinner with me. And a little more wine. And that cake you brought."
Ilan was silent a long while. "And then?"
"And then we take Bas for a walk. You can tell me what the winter sky looks like here at night. I've never asked before."
Ilan's fingers twitched, and his voice was thick. "I can do that." He paused again. "And then?"
"And then, we do it again—something else," Fredric said. He shifted closer, until their knees touched, and Ilan pressed back against him. They started to tangle in places, more than their hands, and it felt right. And as much as he was still nervous, he felt safe. "We see movies, and we eat dinner. We take a tango lesson at the community center. We find a wine and paint night and you can help me paint a cactus."
Ilan laughed. "Yeah?"
"Yes," Fredric said. "I just need to know that it starts here."
"Just a chance," Ilan breathed out, like he was making the promise to himself, not Fredric. "And if…if I can't," he said, then stopped. "If whatever inside me has been so wrong for all these years stays wrong, and you need something more…"
He couldn't imagine a world in which that would be possible, but he owed Ilan at least one promise tonight, and he could make it that one. Tugging their joined hands toward him, he pressed the warm knuckles to his lips and let them linger for a long, long moment. "We will never be broken."
Ilan's breath was softer this time, but still trembling—just like his hands. But instead of pulling away, instead of letting whatever he was feeling get the best of him, he didn't let go.

It's definitely cool. My husband and I are using second hand cast iron frying pans that we got over 30 years ago. Nothing beats cats iron for cooking.
me and my family have been using castiron and stainless steel for 20yrs as the more healthful and non-toxic alternative to 'non-stick' teflon or anodized aluminum cookware. awesome to see how long the stuff lasts and how well it wears.

Biografia

Nato a Milano nel 1896 in una famiglia di condizioni modeste, dopo aver frequentato le scuole elementari, nel 1907 Cesarino Branduani fu assunto come garzone di bottega nella libreria Hoepli di Milano.
Il padre, un postino con sette figli, per necessità economiche aveva pregato Ulrico Hoepli di prendere con sé il giovanetto come aiutante temporaneo nella libreria che si trovava allora nella Galleria De Cristoforis. La benevolenza dell'Hoepli, anch'egli di modeste origini e un tempo garzone di libreria, verso il suo giovanissimo impiegato, si concretizzò quando l'editore, a sue spese, inviò per tre mesi il quindicenne Cesarino in un sanatorio svizzero per curarsi di una malattia ai polmoni.

Assunto come garzone temporaneo, Branduani riuscì, pur con una modesta preparazione scolastica, con le sue spiccate capacità, a divenire direttore della libreria, e a rimanervi per ben cinquantasei anni, fino al 1963, quando, a sessantasette anni, volle aprire una libreria in proprio nella milanese via Sant'Andrea, nella quale lavorò attivamente per dodici anni, sino al 1975, un anno prima di morire.

Nel lungo periodo trascorso da Hoepli, Branduani, dotato di una formidabile memoria bibliografica (ricordava titolo e prezzo di ciascuno dei duemila volumi della celebre collana dei manuali Hoepli), ebbe modo di conoscere molti personaggi della vita letteraria milanese e di entrare in amicizia con alcuni di loro. Scrittori, studiosi e semplici lettori si rivolgevano a lui per consigli e pareri.

Nel suo libro Memorie di un libraio, pubblicato nel 1964 dall'editore Longanesi,  con la prefazione dell'amico Montanelli, descrive cinquant'anni di vita culturale non solo milanese. Una nuova edizione del volume è stata pubblicata nel 2005.

Morì nella sua città natale, a circa ottant'anni, nel 1976.

I love Lego. And I love making up mathematics and statistics activities for people of all levels of attainment. So it makes sense that I would make up maths discussion activities using Lego.
Whenever I have posted my ideas on Twitter (hashtag @Rogonic) and Facebook (Statistics Learning Centre) they have proved popular. So I thought it would be good to put them in a less transient location – this blog.
Which of the models, A to H is most like the one in the middle?
I would love to hear what comes of this discussion. Please put your ideas in the comments below. In a follow-up post, I will talk about some of the concepts that might have arisen in discussions. A follow-up activity for your students (or you) is to come up with a new model that is most like the one in the middle, but not exactly the same.
Explanation of the placement of the letter 's' with respect to Maths with Lego. The Danish company that makes Lego does not approve of the use of Legos as a word. The plural of one Lego brick is two Lego bricks. In New Zealand we talk about Lego as a collective noun, as in "I am going to play with my Lego" and "Pick up your Lego before I stand on it." We also follow the UK tradition of talking about the subject of Maths, rather than Math. I am aware that my friends in the US would talk about Math with Legos, but I am not in the US so I reserve the right to talk about Maths with Lego. I am refraining from making any statement about the state of politics in the US at present… With difficulty.
This website uses Lego (R) bricks to teach mathematical and statistical concepts. There is no official affiliation with the Lego(R) company. Lego is a registered trademark of the Lego company.
Interesting. Thanks Ben and Mum. I keep changing my mind. Can Ben make up one that is like them but different?
Room 1 at Whitney Street School in Blenheim loved this activity thank you. It generated a lot of discussion between others as we all realised we all had different opinions. It was great to hear some many different reasons as to why we think its the same. Our most popular comparisons were C, H and B! Great activity thanks!
Hi Room 1 at Whitney Street School.
I am so glad you had a good discussion. C, H and B are interesting choices. I think it makes a difference if you are thinking what you have to do to change the model to the one in the middle, or what things are important. Maybe you could make some more models that are like the one in the middle, but not quite the same.
I agree! I find it fascinating what people choose – and discuss it with various people. We are planning a follow-up post on the mathematics displayed, and discussion points. It also depends on how abstractly or concretely you look at it. I favour A, because you only have to move the top two blocks one stud to the right and you have transformed it to the middle one. But A is also one of the two without two lines of symmetry, which may make it less like the middle one.
I chose D also as my most preferable of the options. Following J. Bertin; colour, shape, size and orientation are all planar dimensions in visual semiotics; and D seemed to preserve these best from a 2-D perspective, allowing the block width to account for the quantifiable scalar difference.

A prominent Syrian businessman with close ties to Syrian President Bashar Al Assad has been arrested in Kuwait along with five of his assistants on charges of money laundering, local media reported on Wednesday.
Mazen Al Tarazi was arrested late on Monday in his offices at the Al Hadaf magazine headquarters, following investigations that including "collusion and spying with the Lebanese group Hezbollah," Al Qabas daily said.
According to the newspaper, citing unnamed sources, Mr Al Tazari denied charges but a mounting body of evidence collected from electronic devices and documents confiscated from his office reportedly incriminate the Syrian man.
Mr Al Tazari has been living in Kuwait for several years where he owns a large advertising company, as well as several firms in Syria.
He also launched a campaign encouraging Syrian refugees to return to Syria shortly after the civil war broke out.
He is known for his support of Mr Al Assad's regime and has participated in demonstrations in front of the White House in Washington in support of the Syrian government.
Local authorities did not immediately release the charges against Mr Al Tarazi.
A longtime resident of Kuwait, Mr Al Tarazi owns a publishing and advertising firm in partnership with a high-profile local businessman, Ahmad Al Jarallah.
Mr Jarallah confirmed to AFP that police had raided his offices on Monday night and arrested Mr Al Tarazi's secretary and two Al Hadaf magazine employees.
Mr Al Tarazi is on an EU blacklist of Syrian nationals who have been banned from entry to European states and whose assets have been frozen over their role in the Syria war.
Kuwait has grown increasingly intolerant of Hezbollah activities within the country.


Two Connecticut brothers collect the remains of city trees and fashion them into furniture and art.
The benefits of urban trees are well documented, from storing carbon and absorbing rainfall to easing depression and increasing property values. But what happens to our stately benefactors when they come down due to disease, development, weather, or old age? Millions of trees in the United States meet this fate every year; New York City alone cuts down around 8,000 trees annually.
The urban forest's deceased are generally ground up and sent to the dump, say Ted and Zeb Esselstyn, brothers who create furniture and wall art from felled urban trees and sell them via their business, City Bench. "Urban wood is a seriously un-utilized resource in our country's metropolitan areas," says Zeb. The brothers collect logs of such wood from cities in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, though they particularly work with wood from New Haven, where they're based.
Such stories support the research of Jill Jonnes, who spoke with my colleague Jessica Leigh Hester of the "essential bond" between city dwellers and their urban forests, documented in her book, Urban Forests: A Natural History of Trees and People in the American Cityscape. It's little surprise, then, that not only individuals, but entire communities of urbanites, feel an attachment to some of their city's trees.
When Ted and Zeb started City Bench in 2009, they would issue a "birth certificate" for every piece they created, giving the tree's original location, age, and reason for its demise. Zeb even wrote a story about each, relaying historical facts about the area from which it came or the significance of its type of wood. As the brothers have taken on more and more business, they are not always able to provide these personal touches.


Yes, an updated and new version of the font! As usual, you can use this font free of any kind of charge, but selling and changing is not allowed. I will improve it to the final version in the following months. Enjoy.
