Hollywood Celebrates Jane Fonda's Work On And Off Screen at AFI Fest

It only seems appropriate that, when the Hollywood elite celebrated Jane Fonda's activism as much as her screen work at the 42nd AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony at the Dolby Theatre on Thursday night, the organization's president/CEO Bob Gazzale would remind the audience that Fonda and Shirley MacLaine once protested the Institute's lack of women in its conservatory — which led to its directing workshop for women.
In a town where throwing one's support behind causes usually amounts to open wallets and hashtagging on Twitter at the least and a PSA at the most, Fonda's front-lines engagement is clearly a standard to which most in the room could only aspire. In fact, one filmed tribute to the Oscar-winning actress had the look and feel of a PSA, with Robert De Niro, Annette Bening and Vanessa Redgrave paying respectful tribute. Also, in one of the more emotional moments of the night, Vietnam vet Ron Kovic took to the stage to speak about "Coming Home" (a film he inspired) and the importance of Fonda being both a movie star and an activist.
But there were some laughs.
Jeff Daniels, who stars in HBO's "The Newsroom" with Fonda, paid tribute to the honoree's fitness regiment. But instead of speaking, the actor opted for an acoustic musical performance that centered around "Abs, Buns and Thighs," while some of her workout tapes played on a screen behind him. Sandra Bullock also asked for advice on how to make her derriere more like Fonda's.
Others saluting Fonda included past AFI honorees Mel Brooks, Michael Douglas and Meryl Streep, who recalled meeting Fonda on her first film, "Julia," and described her elder's "almost feral alertness to everything around her that made me feel lumpy and from New Jersey, which I am."
Wanda Sykes, Cameron Diaz and Fonda's brother Peter Fonda also spoke. Sykes appeared in the arms of a blind angel, a spoof on Fonda's "Barbarella" sci-fi film, which Roger Vadim directed in 1968. They spoke about her years in Paris and her activism.
"It's much more to be interested than interesting," Fonda herself said as her parting words to her adoring crowd that night — lines she has uttered earlier upon reflecting on the honor.

Cimaja Beach in Sukabumi Regency is not a familiar name for surfers, especially for Indonesian surfer. Even the size of the waves on the beach is known to foreign tourists, no wonder if the Cimaja Beach is often visited by surfing sport lovers to challenge big waves through a surfboard belonging to them. On the beach is also often held surf event of National and International level. It is not so much to make the Cimaja Beach became one of the best surfing destinations, not only in West Java Province but in Indonesia.
The Cimaja break, a right that rises off a rocky reef, is reached by walking about 300 meters from the main road through beachfront sawah (rice terrace). This spot is consistently surf able because it has a solid and angular rock bottom perfectly attuned to south and southwest swells rising out of the Indian Ocean. Its rights peel off in front of a cobble-stone and boulder strewn beach that clatters like a series of giant castanets every time a wave set rolls in.
The distance traveled from Jakarta to Cimaja about 120 kilometers, from Bandung about 203 kilometers, and about 80 km from Bogor. An option worth to considering given the peak of the tourist area on weekends when traffic jams are a nightmare of ever more horrific. Cimaja beach with waves roaring is the perfect location for surfers to enjoy the waves cradle on top of a surfboard. The best time to enjoy it is from eleven am to four pm, from May to October.
Cimaja Beach is synonymous with one thing; surfing. Well, that's what the expats and Indonesian surfers based in Jakarta. Located in the area of Pelabuhan Ratu, Cimaja Beach is growing in popularity as a surfing Mecca in West Java.

Mogees turns the everyday objects around you into unique and powerful musical instruments. Play the world!
1,641 backers pledged £96,338 to help bring this project to life.
We met so many people in the last few weeks, experimenting with new ways to play with Mogees.
In Delhi Bruno met Namrata, Kathak dancer, and asked her to play Mogees with her feet.
In India we met Murray Molloy, an extraordinary sword swallower who amazed us with his performance! Here an extreme practice performed with Mogees.
Here below you can see Vicente Amigo - one of the most important flamenco composers and virtuoso guitarists in the world - and Rodrigo (from Rodrigo y Gabriela) playing Mogees at the pub.
Here you can see an amazing juggler performing with Mogees in front of us in Barcelona.
This breakdancer played Mogees in "song mode" to add musical expressivity to his movements, in front of the SouthBank Centre in London.
We have been doing lots of wonderful things.. click to check our updates page.
Thank you for all of your help in getting us to hit our main target !
We've had lots of parents enquire whether Mogees can be used by young children. So we want to create a version of Mogees aimed specifically at younger school age kids that will play nursery rhymes and feature other educational games.
As we have hit our stretch goal of £75,000, we will release a "Junior Mogees" aimed at the education market. Thankyou for all your support.
So Pledge away – and be sure to tell your friends!
Get a Mogees by clicking on the big green button on the right!
What is Mogees - and how does it work?
Mogees is an innovative new way for everyone to let their musical imagination run wild, transforming the objects around us into unique and powerful musical instruments.
Mogees consists of a mobile app and a small sensor that detects and analyses the vibrations that we make when we interact with the objects around us. It uses a special sound technique to alter their acoustic properties so as to make them musical.
Any time, any place, any object!
Mogees lets everyone – regardless of their musical or technical abilities – express themselves in what for many will be an entirely new medium. The creative and musical dimensions that Mogees adds to life - whether planned or improvised, professional or novice - makes for exciting, creative musical experiences.
Bruno has been performing with British experimental dance music pioneers Plaid, who are signed to Warp Records. This collaboration culminated in the EL EX music video, with all of the sounds you hear created using Mogees. Different characters can be seen performing in the streets of London using everyday objects such as a radiator, a fence, a staircase and by moving coins on a table.
Plaid and Bruno will be performing live again for the tour of Plaid's new upcoming album from June 2014.
Hardware: iPhone 4 and above, iPad 2 and above, iPod 5th Gen.
Hardware: Samsung / HTC / LG / Nexus / Motorola / Sony devices (phone / tablet) with a 3.5mm combined microphone / headphone socket.
Operating system: Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or above.
First prize at Laval Virtual 2012, 14th International conference on Virtual Reality and Converging Technology in the "Interfaces and materials" category.
Prize "Jeune chercheur" (young researcher) 2012 in Science and Music, conferred by IRISA (Institut de Recherche en Informatique et Systèmes Aléatoires) at the "Day of Science and Music 2012″ on October 13, 2012.
Above: The current CAD design for the body of the sensor.
The final version won't have a battery. Through re-engineering we have made the device powered from the 3.5mm headphone socket and shrunk the whole device by 30%.
The Mogees software app has been developed in collaboration with the researcher and composer Carmine Emanuele Cella, and it is still a work in progress. All began at, and has been inspired by, the Ircam Real-Time Musical Interactions (IMTR) in Paris and the Goldsmiths Embodied AudioVisual Interaction (EAVI) in London.
Bruno wishes to thank his PhD supervisors Frederic Bevilacqua, Marco Gillies and Mark d'Inverno for their constant support; Plaid for their enthusiasm in the project and patience with my software bugs; Norbert Schnell and Lorenzo Pagliei for their inspirations; Adam Lieber and Simone Bressello for the videos and brilliant ideas, and Camila Jurado for all the rest.
Hardware: We have established a relationship with a manufacturer who has the capacity to produce the quantities required. The hardware design is complete and we are ready to start producing the initial batch of Mogees. Delays in production can occur due to factors beyond our control, but all indications are that such delays would be unexpected rather than anticipated.
iOS: the iOS app was used in the demonstrations of Mogees shown in the video(s) on this page. Although beta testing and enhancements will continue until pre-launch, the functionality described on this page can currently be delivered in iOS.
Android: Due to issues with audio latency on the Android OS, there is a risk with the development of the Android app. We are deliberately requiring Android users to be using the latest release of the OS to try and mitigate any risk that the Android hardware platform will not be powerful enough to run the Mogees app and in the hope that by deployment, forthcoming releases of Android will have addressed the latency issues.
We'll add you to our mailing list, give you first sight of the activities on our journey, and send you a personalised thank you for helping us to Play the World.

Facebook is a very popular meeting place for horsey people in the UK and elsewhere.
Demelza Hawes trained at the famous École National d'Equitation of the Cadre Noir at Saumur, France and now runs a high-level horse and rider training business in southern England.
Facebook was the right choice of media for her short, informal blogs.
HTWB: I see you haven't started blogging on your website yet, but you are posting some short, interesting material on Facebook. How is this working in terms of strengthening your existing "network" of contacts and building new ones?
Demelza: Posting short notices on FB is less time consuming currently while starting a new business in a new area, hence lack of blogging. I'm using the short posts to keep us fresh in people's minds and to spread our net wider. We want more people to know we exist, so then lead onto more teaching/training work etc.
HTWB: Who is your "typical client" and why do you feel Facebook is the best social media platform for them?
Demelza: Obviously riders. People keen on leisure riding as well as competition riding. Both male and female, however, females of all age ranges are the highest ratio currently. It seems good currently as so many people are on FB. Also equestrian brands, so as eventually it eases the way towards sponsorship.
HTWB: What other social media platforms do you use, if any, and if so, how do they compare with Facebook in terms of your business?
Demelza: I also use Twitter and will aim to use it more often. I feel it's helping as more large equestrian businesses can see us, and top riders get to hear about us in a seemingly easier format. Increasing reach and presence is important within the equestrian world. Throughout it, from grass roots to uber financed!!
HTWB: How do you plan to grow your Facebook blogging or "Faceblogging!?" How do you see it gaining you more business in the future? Do you plan to link from there to longer articles on your own blog eventually, or are these shorter Facebook posts just as good?
Demelza: I'd like to start linking FB posts to the website and then get people purchasing video tips as well as viewing short free titbits. All aiming to increase views, knowledge of our way and increased curiosity leading to using us to coach them. Also fulfilling our desire to help and educate riders towards a better way.
For more on how blogging straight to Facebook works for small business, check out this article, too.
Wow, super busy day for all involved today! Nico was busy riding out the hunter next door, and then a good handful for a local showjumper, and then 4 more jumpers in the afternoon!
While I was dressaging my 4 and the eventer we have in for sale, plus a sneaky little lesson was given in the afternoon!
All horses behaving like super stars in the run up to Christmas, with some having semi mini breaks and others taking a break from competing and concentrating on training, plus their free time in the field!!
Very important to release some pressure after a season's competing. We prefer to slow down the rhythm of training in the week, mixing in more hack time, days off and and some fun play sessions and using the using the gallops occasionally, rather than turning them away completely.
How do you guys give your horses an easy time?? A "staycation" maybe or a complete let down and time in a big field??
We've had this awesome XC course up in the indoor the last few days. It's been just super as a training aid for all our flatwork sessions.
Just because you ride dressage doesn't mean you can't jump. Even if you don't want to jump you can use jumps in the arena to your advantage.
It gives your horse something to look at – let him. Walk around on the buckle and let him understand it's all ok. Wait for him to settle before picking up the reins and starting work.
The obstacles in your way will make you look up and forward plan your direction – very much needed, especially in a competition warm up!!
Work in and out, turning circles, half circles and 3/4 circles around the arena, constantly changing the rein and bend. Add transitions.
Work your lateral movements toward the obstacles, moving actively and forward on a diagonal line away. This forces you as a rider to be more precise and get to know your stride lengths and length of your horse's frame. If the jumps are inviting and simple, pop over one occasionally from an easy trot and balanced canter.
Above all, play a little, change where you do your simple or flying changes according to the lines you can take. Much fun can be achieved for you and your horse!
Happy training ~ Be imaginative!!
Love this…brings back some happy memories of the late summer training camp…good job guys, nice little video too lol!!
How do you feel about bijou blogging for small businesses on Facebook? Obviously it's not going to be right for every small business, but within many niches it seems to be making a useful contribution. Please share your views!

The Horrific Risk Of Gun Violence For Black Kids In America, In 4 Charts
By Katy Hall, Jan Diehm, and Alissa Scheller
In a moving letter to the family of Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, mourned the American epidemic of gun violence against children:
I will support you and your efforts to seek justice for your Michael and the countless other Michaels & Trayvons of our country. The 20 Sandy Hook children. Jordan Davis. Oscar Grant. Kendrick Johnson. Sean Bell. Hadya Pendleton. The Aurora shooting victims. The list is too numerous to adequately mention them all. According to The Children's Defense Fund, gun violence is the second leading cause of death for children ages 1-19. That is a horrible fact.
Brown, who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, earlier this month, and Martin, who was slain in Florida by a former neighborhood watch captain in 2012, were both unarmed black teenagers who lost their lives to gun violence.
SEE RELATED GRAPHIC
Fulton's letter lamented all child gun deaths -- and the numbers in the U.S. dwarf those in other wealthy nations, without separating the victims by race or age. The 2013 report she mentioned notes that gun violence is not only the second leading cause of death for American children, behind car accidents, but the leading cause of death for black American children.
Black children and teens are twice as likely to be killed by guns as by cars, the report notes, while white children and teens are nearly three times more likely to die in car accidents than because of gun violence. Black teenage males, such as Brown and Martin, are especially at risk.

"Impresszionista módon festeni annyit jelentett, mint megörökíteni azt, amit a művész lát - tehát a jelenlevő, környező valóságot-, úgy, ahogy a szeme elé tárul."

Claude Monet 1899 ősze és az 1901 tavasza közötti időszakban egy sor festményt készített a londoni Parlament épületéről, a Westminster palotáról. Ezek közé tartozik a Londoni parlament viharos éggel című alkotás, melyet 1901-ben festett egy 81x92 cm-es vászonra. Olajfestéket használt.  Első ránézésre a kép a titokzatosság, a rejtelmesség érzetét kelti. Borongós hangulatú, ami jellemző egy viharos napra. Egyszerre érezhető a festményen a mozgalmasság a nyugalom is, olyan, mint a vihar előtti csend.

A kép témája
A képen a londoni parlament épülete látható. Monet sok képén foglalkozik a parlamenttel. E neves londoni épülettel szemben bérelt szobát, és innen festette sorozatban képeit. Egyszerre több vásznon is dolgozott, amelyeket a fényviszonyok és a napszakok váltakozásától függően váltogatott. Ezeket a képeket a párizsi műtermében fejlesztette tovább.

Kompozíciója
A festményen a parlament épülete szinte elveszik a homályban, a ködben. Csak az eső függönyén keresztül dereng halványan a sziluettje, és szinte elmosódik a hosszanti irányban elnyújtott ecsetvonásoknak köszönhetően. Ez olyan érzést kelt azt emberben, mintha csak egy árnyék lenne, amely bármelyik pillanatban eltűnhet a szemünk elől. Az alkotáson a főszerep a viharos égbolté. A gomolygó felhőkön átszűrődő, vagy a rajtuk megvillanó fények érzékeltetik a vihar kiszámíthatatlanságát. A vízen tükröződő és villódzó fények félelmetes hatást keltenek.

Színei
Monet főleg a színekre, a festészeti módszerekre összpontosít, és nem arra, amit a valóságban lát. Fontos számára a pillanatnyi benyomás ábrázolása, amikor a saját érzéseit vetíti le szubjektíven. A kép a lelkiállapot kifejezőjévé válik. A képen szinte csak a komplementer színek variációi jelennek meg. A kék a végtelenség, a megfoghatatlanság szimbóluma, amit ezen az alkotáson tökéletesen megfigyelhetünk. Az árnyékban lévő épületen a hideg oxid zöld, lila és kék árnyalatait használta, a vízen pedig -  kontrasztot alkotva - megjelenik a sárga is.

A művész stílusa
A művész számára fontos, hogy a képet egy külön világként ábrázolja, amely utal a valóságra, de bizonyos részei már a valóságon túlmutatnak. Sejtelmeket idéz elénk, s ezek főleg a színekben nyilvánulnak meg. A színeket egy hangulathoz, ismerős érzéshez köti. A parlamentet vékony festékréteggel festi meg, ennek köszönhető a légies hatás. A víznél ezzel ellentétben sok festéket használ, így lesz anyagszerű.

Ez egy tipikus impresszionista kép, amely a viharos ég pillatatnyi állapotát próbálja megragadni. Egyszerre több érzelmet is képes előidézni az emberben. Ez arról tanúskodik, hogy Claude Monet valóban egy kiváló festő volt, aki a vásznon képes visszaadni a természeti viszonyokat úgy, hogy szinte érezzük a szelet, az esőt vagy akár a napsütést.

Kiyonaga, considered by many to be the greatest master of Ukiyo-e prints, was born in Uraga, Japan. He went to Tokyo to study and become a pupil of Kyumitsu of the Torii family of painters. When his master died, Kiyonaga, whose real name was Seki Shinsuke, was adopted by the Torii family and eventually inherited their estate. For this reason he was professionally known as Torii Kiyonaga.
His work is less stilted and formal than that found in prints from earlier periods, and he presents female figures and their male admirers and suitors in outdoor and indoor scenes. These scenes offer distant landscapes, views of houses and roofs in diagonal patterns, and river and boating scenes. Kiyonaga was a great master of color, and he liked to paint diptychs and triptychs, which were printed on separate sheets of paper. Whether he used deep, sensuous tones or more delicate pastels and shades of gray and black, he applied the color freshly and with great taste. His delicate line delineated graceful and appealing women. Kiyonaga's work makes use of genre objects and architectural detail, and depicts what must have been for the people of Tokyo, a series of familiar places and activities. Unlike other Ukiyo-e artists, he also offered the general public a series of prints, depicting court ladies of the tenth and eleventh centuries, dressed in their stiff brocaded kimonos, with elaborate coiffures.

"We organise last funeral rites as a way of bringing together family members and distant clanmates, tracing our lineages and strengthening family and blood ties."
KAMPALA - The Katikiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga, has urged people to respect culture, saying it builds strong family descents and unites society for development.
He was particularly critical of people who rubbish Buganda's strong cultural norms like the last funeral rites by associating them with shrines and worshipping of lubaale (small gods).
He cited the bark cloth, which he said is commonly used in performing traditional ceremonies but it was not proper to associate it with satanic beliefs.
"We organize last funeral rites as a way of bringing together family members and distant clan mates, tracing our lineages and strengthening family and blood ties, which is one of the means of forging unity in Buganda kingdom," he explained.
Mayiga was Saturday speaking at the memorial service of former Katikiro and minister in the central government, Jehoash Mayanja Nkangi at the Minister's Village in Ntinda in Kampala.
A former politician who represented Kalungu West in the Constituent Assembly, Mayanja Nkangi was father of veteran Reggae artist, Winston Shaka Mayanja of the Jazz Safari, who attended the function with his mother, Ruth Mayanja and other siblings.
The function, which was attended by few people, was graced by the Nabagereka, Sylvia Naginda, Buganda royals and officials from Mengo.
It started with service led by the bishop of Kampala, the Right. Rev. Hanington Mutebi who installed Nkangi's elder son, Marcus Luswata as heir.
Luswata had however rejected the bark cloth and preferred to be installed without one, which took efforts by the bishop and other clan members to explain its role and assuring him that it was not satanic.
"Last funeral rites are so important in Buganda, it is the time when people who used to associate with the deceased give testimony of his good deeds and works, give family members a chance to know each other, build bonds and trace blood relationships," Mayiga explained.
According to Mayiga, Buganda's unity, which he said was one of its pillars, is built on such cultural practices, which he said were not a waste of time.
"We ought to avoid looking down on our culture, you should be able to tell the difference between a bark cloth used in such ceremonies and religious practices in a shrine," he explained.
Mayiga said that people in the Western World live a lonely old age and they are often kept in special homes where they rarely interact with their relatives, which is the opposite in Africa.
"Here, you cannot promote unity and development without building family ties and ancestries," he said.
Mayiga said that Nkangi was such a prominent figure in Buganda because he occupied the highest office for commoners, under two kings, Sir Edward Mutesa II and incumbent, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II.
He consoled the heir to stay firm and take on the mantle to even aim at performing better than his father.
He also asked to him to show reverence for his father by traveling to his burial site in Kanyogoga, Kalungu district and perform the last rituals on his grave and plant a tree in the place, as per Buganda's norm of promoting the environment.
The function was attended by the mutima clan leader, Nicholas Kasekende, who thanked the Kabaka for his support when Nkangi died and all the assistance the Mengo government had extended to the family since they lost such an important member.
Family members pledged to construct Kabungo Primary School in Kalungu where Nkangi studied in the early 1960s and turn it into a modern facility in memory of him.
Nkangi's last appointment was chairperson of the Uganda Land Commission, where he served for many years. He was also minister for finance and economic development, among other portfolios. He died on March 6, 2017 and was buried in Kalungu.
People were however surprised that despite having been a prominent politician since the early 1950s, no politician attended the function, including those from his own party, the Conservative Party, for which he one of the founders.

Italy teeters on the brink of a political crisis
Italy is on the verge of a political crisis after one of the parties in the ruling coalition threatened to quit the government.
This was reported by Bloomberg, citing officials who wished to remain anonymous.
According to the publication, former prime minister of the country and leader of the centrist party Italia Viva Matteo Renzi may decide to withdraw two ministers who belong to his party from the government.
" Italia Viva holds only a small number of seats in the country's parliament. However, if it leaves the coalition, the country's ruling incumbent prime minister, Giuseppe Conte, will lose his majority in the Italian Senate.
This could plunge the country into political crisis, but would not necessarily lead to early elections in the country, the paper noted.
Tensions between Renzi and Conte increased markedly late last year. The former prime minister was sharply critical of the government's plan to use funds allocated to Italy from the European Union's economic recovery fund.

With its narrow passages and stunning miradouros, or vantage points, Alfama is steeped in history. The name Alfama derives from the Arabic Al-Hama, meaning spring or fountain, and this quarter's layout still retains a distinctively Arabic influence, in contrast with the more European grid blocks of Chiado and Baixa. Built on a solid rock hill, this medieval quarter is one of the districts that suffered least from the 1755 earthquake and one really gets the feeling that you have turned back the clock to medieval times when you walk its narrow streets packed with modest grocery shops and tiny, hidden away restaurants. The best time to visit is in June, during the vibrant Saint Anthony festivities.
The best way to visit Alfama is to take the number 12 or 28 tram lines which set off from Praça do Comércio or Praça Luis de Camões. Or you could walk up Rua Madalena and Rua Santo António da Sé past the Sé cathedral and the Museu do Teatro Romano. Alfama also boasts some of the city's most visited churches and museums, including the Museu das Artes Decorativas, Museu Nacional do Azulejo and the Convento da Madre de Deus. Another fascinating place to rummage around is the Feira da Ladra flea market (every Tuesday and Saturday), just a 5 minute walk from Santa Apolónia train station between the Igreja de São Vicente de Fora and Panteão Nacional. By the way, despite the common belief that the name of this market is in some way related to the Portuguese word for "thief", this is disputed by many experts.

The Reclamation fights to restore the exiled and rightful ruler of Amasya, and rebuild the hallowed necropolis as a place of devout worship to the gods of death and shadow. To this end, your figurehead Mithridates Alti has decreed that you capture Rahipmezar as your primary objective, with Karanlik Saray and Nagaskahip as secondary objectives.
Tens of thousands are buried in Nagaskahip, the sacred tombs carved into the cliffs above Amasya. Many a necromancer has bartered away their soul to Nagash for a lesser opportunity.
In life, Mithridates Alti was born the son of Mithridates Besh, and upon granting his mortally wounded father's last wish- to be buried alive in the crypts of Rahipmezar-, he was ordained Basrahip, ruler of Amasya in faith and in war. Raised during the dawn of the Age of Chaos, Mithridates Alti spent his youth fighting servants and daemons of the Dark Gods in his father's many crusades, and was an able commander and warrior when he assumed his father's mantle.
It insulted him then, when the Sigmarite priesthoods of his city counseled they abandon Amasya, lest the ruinous powers should discover the hallowed necropolis and cast it down as they had done all others. He raged against their cowardice and finally, when the summons arrived from Sigmar and Nagash to muster for battle at the Allpoints, Mithridates Alti forbade the city's Sigmarite warpriests from accompanying him.
Nagash's betrayal of Sigmar at the Allpoints is well known; in the hour they were supposed to take the fight to the Dark Gods, the Undying King turned on the armies of the heavens. Mithridates Alti was there when the War of Heaven and Death began, his blade slick with the blood of Sigmar's soldiers. The Basrahip felt justified in his treachery, his faith in Nagash unwavering. The deed now done, Mithridates Alti made to return to Amasya and snuff out the wretched milksops of Azyr he'd left behind. However, to his rage and mounting horror, he discovered the way shut, and his home denied to him. Mithridates Alti had been exiled.
In this tumultuous time, the Basrahip struck a bargain with the most vile of serpents: Mannfred von Carstein, Mortarch of Night. Mithridates Alti abandoned his mortal life to become a Soulblight Vampire, and in this way, survive the Age of Chaos and exact his vengeance upon the men of Azyr. The price was five centuries in service of a secret task, to this day known only to Mannfred and Mithridates Alti.


This is an abstraction from a general concept of properties.
An automorphism property is a map from the collection of all group automorphisms to the two-element set (true, false), with the property that if there is an isomorphism identifying two group automorphisms, they either both have the property or both do not have the property.
The automorphism property space is the collection of all automorphism properties.
The space of automorphism properties is naturally equipped with a Boolean lattice structure. The two extreme elements of this lattice are the tautology -- the property satisfed by all automorphisms, and the fallacy -- the property satisfied by no automorphism.
An automorphism property is termed subgroup-defining if, for any group, the set of automorphisms of the group satisfying the property forms a subgroup of the automorphism group of that group. The tautology, for instance, is a subgroup-defining property.
for a group , an automorphism satisfies if, given any embedding satisfying property , there is an automorphism of such that satisfies and the restriction of to is .
When is taken to be the tautology, we get a map from the automorphism property space to itself, which is what we usually mean when we talk of the extensibility map.

Companies may deduct the cost of doing business.
Companies have to day for the day-to-day operations of the business, and their expenses include purchasing inventory and equipment, travel, business property, insurance and the cost of managing employees. Business debts such as loans and lines of credit are also considered company expenses.The IRS allows tax deductions for eligible business expenses.
The costs of purchasing company assets, such as property and equipment are considered "capital" business expenses, which enhance the ability to service clients. Examples of business assets include buildings, machinery, furniture and franchise rights. The IRS does not allow deductions for purchasing business assets, but does allow business owners to recover the cost of business assets through depreciation. By depreciating the value of company assets and deducting a part of the cost each year, business owners may recover costs over time.
The cost of managing employees is a large company expense. Employers must pay employee salaries, commissions and bonuses. Employers also must maintain worker's compensation insurance to pay any work-related injuries an employee suffers. Other expenses related to employees include benefits programs, such as health plans, educational assistance, life insurance and dependent care assistance. Employers also must pay a federal unemployment taxes to fund state unemployment insurance programs.
Companies often maintain several types of insurance policies. The premiums they pay are considered business expenses. An organization buys insurance to protect against liability exposure, as well as insurance to pay for damage to business property. Business professionals often buy professional liability insurance in case their services harm a client. Commercial auto insurance is another expense if the company owns a fleet of vehicles or if a personal vehicle is used for business purposes.
Business debts can include loans and lines of credit, as well as business credit cards. Interest payments on money borrowed for business purposes also is a business expense. Many companies also establish accounts with merchants and suppliers to obtain the products and inventory needed to service clients.

Q: Proper UIGestureRecognizer and Delegate design This is a pretty hypothetical question just to understand proper design but lets say I have two custom UIViews.
One of them is essentially a container that I'll call a drawer. Its purpose is to hide and show content. It's a lot like the notification center on iOS where you swipe to pull it open and flick it back up to close it. It's a generic container than can contain any other UIView. It has a UIPanGestureRecognizer to track the finger that's pulling it open/closed. It might also have a UISwipeGestureRecognizer to detect a "flick".
The other view is a custom map widget that has UIPan/Rotation/Pinch GestureRecognizers.
I think the drawer view should be the UIGestureRecognizerDelegate for the Pan/Swipe GestureRecognizers so that it can prevent touches from being delivered unless the user is grabbing "the handle".
My first instinct is for the map to be the UIGestureRecognizerDelegate of the pan/rotation/pinch gestures so that it can allow them to all run simultaneously.
The problem I'm having is that, I really don't want the map to receive any touches or begin recognizing gestures until the drawer is completely open. I'd like to be able to enforce this behavior automatically in the drawer itself so that it works for all subviews right out of the box.
The only way that I can think to do this is to wire all of the gestures handlers to the ViewController and let it do everything, but to me that breaks encapsulation as now it has to know that the map gestures need to run simultaneously, that the drawer should only get touches on it's handle and that the map should only get touches when it's open.
What are some ways of doing this where the logic can stay in the Views where I think it belongs?

A: I would do something like this to make the subviews of the drawer disabled while panning. Essentially loop through the drawer's subviews and disbale interaction on them.
[self.subviews enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(UIView *subview, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop){
    subview.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
}];

And something similar again for when you want to re-enable user interaction on the subviews.

A: This should already Just Work™. A gesture recogniser is attached to a view; when a continuous gesture is recognised, all subsequent touches associated with that gesture are associated with that view.
So in your case, when the drawer pan is recognised, no touches associated with that pan should ever cause behaviour in your map view's pan/pinch/rotation gestures (unless you explicitly specify that they should using the appropriate delegate methods).
Or do you mean that you want to prevent the user from, halfway through opening the drawer, using another finger (i.e. another gesture) to start scrolling the (half-visible) map? If so, you should just set userInteractionEnabled on the drawer's contentView (or equivalent) to NO at UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan/Changed and YES again at UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded/Cancelled.

All these and more are in the news about the NZD in just one day. No wonder is it one of the major currency pairs. As for the USD, it is the world currency reserve, the single most traded currency in the forex market and in the whole world in general. Again, it is no wonder these two keep really busy in the forex market all day long. Traders that are into trading the kiwi should at all time be aware of what is happening in the market as it relates to the NZD USD currency pair.
In studying all the relevant happenings in the forex market concerning the kiwi, one should be keen to see the relationship between other commodities and the NZD USD. A lot of times in the past, it has been argued that forex trades are based on nothing – commodities go up and down anyhow. However, further study of the forex market has shown that that is not the case. There are factors that affect the forex market. These factors are what determine the price movement of a security. In the same light, the price movement of NZD USD is dependent on these factors and also on other commodities. Traders should find out about this and apply them to their benefit in trades.
Generally, from the charts, it can be seen that the overall positioning of the kiwi continues to hint that least resistance favors the downside. This is despite the fact that the New Zealand dollar a notable recovery against the US dollar. That notwithstanding, this currency pair is a stable one as can see in the series of supports defining the near term, all of which are intact.

Suspect arrested involved in Norris' mugging at Wembley Stadium
A suspect, 24-year-old man has been arrested, who involved in attacking Lando Norris' mugging at Wembley after football's Euro 2020 final.
Following the final match, the British F1 outfit McLaren has revealed that after the match the youngster was robbed of his watch, which, according to reports, was a £40k Richard Mille.
"McLaren Racing can confirm that Lando Norris was involved in an incident, after the Euro 2020 final match at Wembley, during which the watch he was wearing was taken," said the team in a brief statement.
"Thankfully, Lando was unharmed, but he is understandably shaken. The team is supporting Lando and we are sure that racing fans will join us in wishing him all the best for the British Grand Prix this weekend."
Police have petitioned for witnesses, including one who was present when the police arrived in the car park where the incident occurred and claimed to have captured what had happened on his dashcam.
Metropolitan Police detectives are "very keen to speak to this person and to obtain any footage he has", having "left before providing his details".
A police statement said: "They [detectives] would also like to speak to anyone else who witnessed the incident. The car park was busy, with the match having finished just a short time before, and it is likely others saw what happened or got it on camera."
Four days after in the British Grand Prix weekend, Norris admitted he had "not been sleeping that great".
The Brit said Thursday after the incident: "I'm not in perfect condition, I'm not going to lie, so yeah, some work to do mentally. Not ideal and I'm feeling a bit sore."

There is a moment midway through the first act of The Fix when this frenetic new musical's creators deliver precisely the rush promised by their drug-oriented title. It comes just after a scene in which reluctant young politico Cal Chandler (Stephen Bienskie, who looks remarkably like that other Chandler on Friends) gets tutored by experts in the myriad tricks of speech delivery. They teach him the gestures, inflections, and body language used by politicians to mesmerize their audiences and then thrust him toward a podium so he can try them out.
Standing with his back toward the theater audience, facing an unseen crowd, he sings the lyrics to a syrupy anthem called "I See the Future" as they scroll before him on a teleprompter, complete with highlighted instructions about gestures. "I see us striving for the sky," he keens to an appropriately soaring melody, and when the teleprompter says "Head up, to the right," he obeys. As he continues to follow instructions telling him to "point with left fist" and "look left, down to children," what's striking is how wooden and mechanical these gestures seem when you've been alerted that they're coming.
Then, just as you're dismissing them, and him, and politics, and the whole damn enterprise, the podium spins 180 degrees so that Cal is facing the theater audience. And though you can still read the teleprompter's instructions before the lad acts them out, there is, abruptly, an electrifying difference in the effect of his gestures. What seemed broad and patently manufactured from behind seems entirely persuasive from out front—natural, reassuring, and comfortingly human. Very much before your eyes, this callow automaton who barely understands the syllables he's uttering has been transformed into a Great Communicator.
Sure, the composer has helped him out with a key shift, and the lighting designer has subtly enhanced his cheekbones, but that just makes the show's point more neatly. In politics, as in showbiz, spin counts. Sparkle, too. And once politicians have internalized that fact and can use it to their advantage, it's like a drug. That's the "fix" that drives them. And that ought to be the fix that drives The Fix. For this one vividly theatrical sequence, it does. But that's not nearly long enough to sustain the evening.
Savaged by critics at its London debut a year ago ("Bold, brash, banal" said the Evening Standard in a comparatively kind review) and much revised for its American premiere, The Fix is a political-dynasty musical that means to be a hybrid of Evita, Primary Colors, Oedipus Rex, and Oliver Stone's JFK.
And in Eric D. Schaeffer's bristlingly inventive production at Signature, it's pretty much on track to achieving that odd mix of elements for about 90 of its 140 minutes. Then, just a few seconds before intermission, the authors take it into their heads to detour into GoodFellas territory, and, sad to say, a chorus of zoot-suited mobsters proves one ingredient too many for a story that's already trafficking in politics, drugs, sex, graft, strippers, prostitutes, thwarted ambition, and showbiz references to everything from vaudeville to Sunset Boulevard. Real life may provide family sagas with that sort of variety, but theatrical ventures require a little something in the way of focus—especially ones devoted to fictionalizing recent political events.
So from pretty much the moment John Dempsey's libretto brings on gun-toting gangsters to provide a deus ex mafia cliffhanger for the show's first-act curtain, it's clear that authorial desperation is setting in. And as the second act repeats themes from the first, trumps up excuses for a pair of Dana P. Rowe's sobbing power ballads, and struggles to a peculiarly resonanceless, would-be-tragic finale that trades awfully callously on memories of November 1963, the show's considerable flash and sizzle ebb slowly away.
That flash and sizzle, though, are remarkable at first, from an opening scene in which a heart attack fells Cal's philandering senator-father midorgasm (Rockefeller allusions definitely intended) to the clannishly Machiavellian shenanigans (Kennedy associations equally intended) that make even so colorful a start seem pallid by comparison.
Naturally, a fatal heart attack in a satirical show like The Fix can't keep a good man down, and Sen. Reed Chandler (Jim Walton) is soon rising from his mortuary slab to help his widow Violet (played as a campy blend of Morticia Addams and Norma Desmond by Linda Balgord) and his polio-stricken brother Grahame (devastatingly sarcastic, honey-voiced Sal Mistretta) make a pol of Cal. That the lad would rather screw, play guitar, and smoke weed doesn't slow any of the elder Chandlers down. "If I can't be the wife of a president," snarls Violet early on, "you can bet your ass I'll be his mother."
So the grooming begins, with callow Cal proving a reasonably quick study once he's been sent off to the army and done a nifty LSD-inspired, explosion-punctuated soft-shoe in a minefield with his dead dad. Soon he has discovered there are worse ways he could spend his time than making speeches and snorting the coke provided by his political team to keep him energized during long campaigns. ("Whatever it takes," say Mom and Uncle Grahame. "This is what it takes," says Cal.)
Events are further complicated when the political neophyte meets an entertainment-industry sexpot (Natalie Toro, in Marilyn Monroe mode) who unbuckles his belt practically on first meeting but proves to have a different sort of penetration in mind from the one Cal expects, blithely proffering a syringe and wrapping the belt around his biceps. From there, Mom's job gets harder and Uncle Grahame's so much more taxing that he's soon scooting around not on crutches but on a motorized wheelchair. And, of course, those gangsters are waiting in the wings.
Rowe's music tends to reflect the harsh, driving chords that Miss Saigon and Evita used when those musicals were in plot-progressing moods, which is to say it's serviceable theater music, but it rarely soars. I rather liked the two melodies that do take flight: the aforementioned political anthem and "Don't Blame the Prince," which is one of five songs that have been added since the London production (all evidently designed to make Cal a more empathetic character). Still, I can't honestly say I remembered either tune 20 minutes after hearing it.
Dempsey's sharp-tongued libretto offers plenty of clever repartee for the three major characters—especially Violet and Grahame, who often seem to be engaged in a competition to see who can drip more acid on everyday pleasantries. But the script's political assumptions are mostly naive (journalists give plain-spoken politicians a free ride, right?), its storytelling is haphazard (Cal all but disappears when he tries to get straight, which is precisely when he becomes most interesting), and its wit isn't enough to save a second act that's going nowhere.
Seriously, nowhere. In fact, the songs become pointless enough after intermission that the performers must work overtime just to make sense of them. A second-act number called "Spin" goes so relentlessly in circles around issues long since made clear in the script that you can see why the creators decided to render it all but unintelligible by decreeing that Violet should deliver it drunk. Balgord's a trouper, and she sells the song to the rafters—way beyond, really, since they're only 10 feet above her head—without for a moment justifying its placement in the show. Ditto a gratuitous country-western production number that's set up by a few equally gratuitous questions about Cal's paternal origin. (If his real dad were a truck-stop rapist rather than a philandering senator, would this really account for his irresponsible behavior?) Sweet-voiced Toro must work even harder to sell "Mistress of Deception," a number that seems to exist solely so that Schaeffer can make a Monroe joke by having a jet of air blow her skirt up during its chorus.
None of which diminishes the performance sizzle an iota. The 19-member cast is uniformly first-rate, full-voiced enough not to need the amplification that has been rather annoyingly imposed on it in Signature's 136-seat house, and easily up to Charles Augins' energetic choreography. With megaproducer Cameron Mackintosh in attendance at rehearsals—and reportedly anxious to take the show to Broadway should it click here—Signature's D.C.-based designers have pulled out stops that local audiences may not even have known they had. Lou Stancari's canting, disintegrating pediments, friezes, and columns grandly suggest both Washington's monumental core and an amphitheater suitable for Greek tragedy. The electric blues, canary yellows, bilious greens, and hot pinks of Anne Kennedy's aggressively angular costumes are enhanced by the riot of hues Daniel MacLean Wagner beams at them from every conceivable angle, including straight up from the floor. The visuals in The Fix are, in fact, a show in themselves, colorful to the point of overload. But then, they need to be, since the show itself is going to do a fast fade in its final hour.
Schaeffer's knack for bringing out the humanity in musicals seems just what the show needs, and to the extent that the new songs all seem designed to illuminate character, he's definitely pointing the authors in the right direction. What would help now is to bring Cal back into focus after intermission so that patrons can care what happens to him. Bienskie is currently working his personal charm fairly furiously without benefit of much in the way of material to hang it on.
It would also be nice if the theater audience were given some sense that the Chandler clan stands for something (or did once, at any rate), be it good or bad. That way, patrons would know whether to cheer or jeer their exploits. As things now stand, there's no reason in the world to care whether a Chandler ends up in the White House. Which means The Fix still needs fixing. CP
