When someone dies in your family, biological or not, you'll feel how painful it is to lose someone who you can't see anymore. The physical evidence of the life of the departed can be with you always but nothing you can do will bring the deceased back. Funeral thank you card is not just a reminder of what you've lost but a lot more. More than the physical loss, the emotional and mental understanding of losing someone can bring anyone to despair and depression. It's just a good thing that when trying times come, family and friends are there to give support to those who need it.
That's why whenever there's a death in the family, it's very comforting and touching to know that there are people who will be there for you and the rest of the family through ups and downs of life. And when the decease is finally laid to rest, you can show your appreciation by sending funeral thank you card.
For people who are, unfortunately, going through a tough time right now because of a lose in the family, here are some things that you may want to consider re funeral thank you card that you'll be sending to those who attended the funeral.
1 You've just lost a loved one and everyone understands that. That means that you really don't have to worry about the time when you can send the funeral thank you card. If you need weeks to function normally, then so be it. It doesn't even matter if you send your funeral thank you card after couple of months. Remember that if the attendees of the funeral really are sincere with their sympathy, receiving a funeral thank you card immediately should be the last ting from their minds.
2 Don't be pressured to write the note yourself. There are a lot of premade/printed funeral thank you card available on crafts stores and local bookstores. In fact, you can even print funeral thank you card online. For premade funeral thank you card, you just need to add your signature below the message and then it's good to go. But if you want to add notes and special messages to special people, then that's fine too. As with the timeline, you go with what you have and what you feel with this. You don't really have to compose it yourself because you may just drown in misery and sadness. You can just add the recipients name by hand to make everything personalized.
3 You don't have to do this all by yourself. Ask your family members and/or close friends to do this with you. It's something that you can do together hence forms a stronger bond.
True, writing a funeral thank you card is a confirmation of the fact that you lose someone in your life. And that the act itself can either make you numb or cry hard. But the good thing about funeral thank you note is that you know that you're not alone in this world.

(PICS) – Spirit of Madiba lives on in Cape Town
Repost from Bushradionews
Thousands of people flocked to the Cape Town Stadium to celebrate the life of the late Former President Nelson Mandela on Wednesday. Madiba died at his Johannesburg home on Thursday evening, at the age of 95.
The function started with performances from various local artists which was followed by the National Anthem where the crowed sung in unity.
Chairperson of the African National Congress in the Western Cape Marius Fransman saluted the former icon for the role he played in the struggle and uniting the people of South Africa.
Fransman said we remember you as a freedom fighter, a revolutionary, activist and the father of the nation. The spirit of tata Mandela is already affecting us, let's continue emulating his legacy.
The atmosphere was joyous with several people holding placards of Madiba, with many wearing Madiba t-shirts chanting Rolihlahla.
After MC Shado Twala opened the service, Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille took the podium where she described Mandela as a leader, a visionary and the very best among us.
"I say that we must choose to live hope, I say that we must choose to live in the world of the vision of Mandela, I say we must make Tata Madiba to live forever in our efforts to make South Africa a country he will be proud of" De Lille added.
Western Cape Premier Helen Zille told the crowd of her privilege of seeing Madiba earlier in the day as he laid in state at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. She opened the stage by singing a struggle song "uMadiba abazenge bam'mbone,"
Zille said Madiba was in peace and his face symbolized what South Africa has become, one nation at peace with ourselves and the world, one nation building one future.
Minister in the Presidency Trevor Manuel closed by saying Madiba belonged to all of us and we will celebrate him together as the spirit of Madiba lives inside us all.

CLICK HERE: People share their thoughts on Mandela
But even as we grieve for the father of our nation, we remember that Madiba represented hope – hope that dedication, perseverance and going beyond individual goals is noble and worthy. Bush Radio,together with all South Africans, mourn the passing of Nelson Mandela – freedom fighter, our first president and an inspiration to the world.
AUDIO: Mandela's first press conference after release
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela – July 18, 1918 – December 5, 2013
Nelson Mandela Biography:Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in Mvezo, a village near Mbatha in the Transkei, on July 18, 1918. His father, Henry Mgadla Mandela, was the principal councillor to the Acting Paramount Chief of the Thembu and Mandela was preparing to eventually take over the position after his father's death. But Mandela had dreams of helping his people in the fight for freedom.
He was educated at a local mission school where he was given the name Nelson. After his primary education, he was sent to Heraldtown, a Wesleyan secondary school. He then enrolled at Fort Hare where he was elected onto the Students' Representatives Council. He was suspended from university for joining a protest. Then he and his cousin ran away to Johannesburg to escape arranged marriages.
He completed his Bachelor of Arts degree through the University of South Africa and then began studying for his LLB. He joined the African National Congress in 1943, a year after he graduated. In the midst of his political activities, he met his first wife, Evelyn Mase. A few months after meeting, they were married and eventually had four children. They divorced in 1958.
In 1944, a group of 60 young ANC members, including Mandela, joined forces to create the African National Congress Youth League, which hoped to transform the ANC into a more radical movement. They thought that the current political tactics would never emancipate South Africa. Mandela was elected as the league's national secretary in 1948. Mandela impressed his peers with his disciplined and hard-working ways and was elected to the NEC.
He later became president of the youth league, and was elected National Volunteer-in-Chief in 1952 just as the ANC launched its Campaign for the Defiance of Unjust Laws, which involved mass civil disobedience. Mandela travelled the country organising resistance to discriminatory legislation. As a result, Mandela was given a suspended prison sentence for defying the Suppression of Communism Act and was confined to Johannesburg for 6 months.
Also in 1952 he opened South Africa's first black law firm in Johannesburg with his friend Oliver Tambo. But under the land segregation legislation, the authorities demanded that they move their practice out of the city. Mandela and Tambo refused. During the early fifties, Mandela led the resistance against the Western Area removals, Bantu Education and the Freedom Charter.
During the fifties, Mandela was banned, arrested and imprisoned. And he vowed to not follow the rules and regulations of his oppressors. In 1958, Mandela married Nomzamo Winnie Mandela. They had no time for a honeymoon because Nelson had to appear in court for the Treason Trial. He was one of the 156 people accused in the Treason Trial.
His incarceration put a damper on his political and legal work. After the Treason Trial collapsed in 1961, the ANC was banned and Nelson Mandela emerged as its underground leader. In March of 1961 Mandela addressed the All-in African Conference and challenged the apartheid regime to create a new, democratic constitution. He then went underground to lead the campaign. Mandela had many disguises to evade the police, which earned him the name the Black Pimpernel. He and other ANC leaders created a new section of the liberation movement that prepared for an armed struggle. He felt that continuing non-violent tactics was unrealistic since the government continued to meet their peaceful efforts with violence.
Mandela travelled abroad to Swaziland in 1962 and was arrested shortly after his return to South Africa for illegally leaving the country. He acted as his own defence attorney during the trial and was convicted and sentenced to five years of prison. He was transferred to Robben Island in May 1963. He and 10 others were charged with sabotage shortly after.
The Rivonia Trial lasted 8 months. Mandela decided that if given the death sentence, he would not appeal because he was prepared to die for his ideals. Mandela was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison on Robben Island. After 18 years at Robben Island, Mandela was transferred to Pollsmoor Prison in Cape Town in 1982 and then to Victor Verster Prison near Paarl in 1988. While in prison, Mandela refused to accept Bantustan policy in December 1988 in exchange for a reduced sentence. He also refused release from prison in exchange for renouncing violence.
In prison, Mandela started a dialogue with the government based on the following conditions:
– The release of all political prisoners
– The unbanning of all banned organisations
– The return of all exiles
– The unconditional disbanding of Apartheid and all its laws
He was released from prison on February 11, 1990, and worked diligently to free South Africa from apartheid. In 1991 he was elected President of the ANC. In 1993 Mandela accepted the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of all South Africans who worked so hard and suffered so much to achieve peace. After apartheid officially ended on April 27, 1994, Mandela and all South Africans voted for the first time. Mandela was elected as President of a democratic South Africa and was inaugurated on May 10, 1994. He served one term as president until 1999. After retiring from politics, Mandela went on to set up three foundations: The Nelson Mandela Foundation, The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, and The Mandela-Rhodes Foundation. After his presidency, he continued his tireless efforts to foster democracy and equality and help the oppressed and deprived.
He will always be a hero not only to the South African people, but also to the world.

Bush Radio mourns, Professor William T. McClain (1923-2011)
One of Bush Radio's board members and a strong anti-apartheid activist Professor William Tilden McClain passed away on Sunday the 02nd of October 2011. We at Bush Radio mourn his death.
Professor McClain was originally from a small town inIndiana in the United States, and after his studies served as Deputy Attorney General of Indiana.
His first interest of South Africa began in 1950's when he went to study at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the Universityof London. Initially he was going to study Indian or Middle Eastern law, but was drawn to African law. At this time he also followed the Treason Trial in South Africa very closely.
In 1961 he was sent by the University to do research and collect documents in Africa. He drove from Nairobi to Lesotho and visited eight African states, including Swaziland. This is where he met his wife May Vuyelwa Hillary.
Professor McClain had a very close relationship with the struggle movement and its leadership in exile especially Oliver Tambo and Chris Hani. In an interview with a Bush Radio intern two months ago he recalled a story of how he got to give Oliver Tambo his sunglasses. "Oliver and I were on the plane heading for Zambia. Just before we landed in Lusaka, Oliver asked me to give him my sunglasses for disguise and I gave them to him and I never got them back"
He became involved with Bush Radio more than seven years ago and served on the board at the time of his death.
Professor McClain has been described as a leader, mentor and a person who was always willing to give. His guidance and generous heart will be sorely missed by everyone at Bush Radio. He has left a void which no one can fill. Our condolences go to his wife, children, extended family and his friends.

West Wight Sports & Community Centre
Isle of Wight Festival of Running 2022
Dramatic cliffs, beautiful coves, a stately home, a world-famous pop festival site… the Isle of Wight Festival of Running boasts an unparalleled location. This Festival has become one of the biggest sporting events on the Island and a favourite of runners from all over the South of England. Over a week, athletes of all levels can choose from circular cross-country routes, in the breath-taking west of the Island. All but one of these events (The Duver Dash) start and finish at West Wight Sports & Community Centre, which has excellent facilities for competitors and spectators.
The biggest draw of the weekend is the famously tough Needles Half, which follows a spectacular trail along the coast from Colwell Bay to Totland Bay, over the heathland of Headon Warren to The Needles. Runners then traverse rugged Tennyson Down to Tennyson Monument, before descending to Freshwater Bay and across Afton Marsh, to the finish.
We will be adding to the programme over the coming months and hope to include -
- The Tapnell 10K takes runners on a circular route through fields, past Afton Down, where Jimi Hendrix played his last performance in England, to more than 600,000 people at the 1970 pop festival.
-The Freshwater 5K passes another historic site, Alfred Lord Tennyson's magnificent home, Farringford.
- Younger members of the family can join the Junior Fun Run, around fields adjoining the West Wight Sports & Community Centre.

Residents Reject Freshwater Name
Contest to rename Pittsburgh Ave. to honor water institute didn't convince street's residents, who nixed Freshwater Way.
By Michael Horne - Jun 20th, 2013 09:54 am
The Water Accelerator is located at 3rd St. & W. Pittsburgh Ave., but won't be for long as the street is being renamed. Photo by Dave Reid.
Freshwater, it seems, is fresh out of luck.
The winning choice of the City of Milwaukee's contest to rename Pittsburgh Avenue in October 2012 was Freshwater Way. The idea behind the contest was that the new Water Accelerator building at 223 W. Pittsburgh Ave. should not be burdened by a name that calls to mind a different city. (The street was actually named after a paint company.) And so both East and West Pittsburgh Avenues would become East and West Freshwater Way.
The mayor initiated this competition which received 650 entries, 7 of which came up with Freshwater. The selection was made by a panel that included Ald. Jose Perez, Peter Moede the owner of the Reed Street Yards, (which is envisioned as a Water-themed business park), various city staffers and John Gurda, the Chairman of the City Advisory Committee on the Naming of Public Buildings, Facilities and Streets.
An unspecified number of entries suggested keeping the Pittsburgh name, "although a lot of those were out-of-state entries from people in Pennsylvania," a mayoral press release announced.
Seems like the Quaker Staters aren't the only ones who want to keep the Pittsburgh name.
As required by law, the City must send a postcard to businesses, property owners and residents in order to effect an official street name change. "The street name proposal shall not be given further consideration" if it has less than 50% support of those entities.
So, the city sent out 112 postcards to Pittsburgh Avenue addresses, and guess what? Only 10.7 per cent of the respondents were in favor of the name change for the four-block long street.
This put the city officials in a bind, and could possibly have embarrassed Mayor Tom Barrett, who is crazy about the name. (The mayor is also the guy who came up with the idea of calling Milwaukee the "Fresh Coast," which nobody does.)
This brought Public Works Commissioner Ghassan Korban and City Engineer Jeff Polenske into the picture. It occurred to them that the Freshwater Way name might only apply to the one block between S. 2nd and S. 3rd streets, where the water institute is to occupy the building now known as 223 W. Pittsburgh Ave.
There are only two affected owners in that desolate stretch of the street, and both are in favor of the change, the officials noted in a letter sent May 31st to the Common Council. Now it is up to the council to authorize a one-block street renaming. If it approves, two new street signs will be erected at a cost to the petitioner of $200, and the matter will be done. (The petitioner also has to fork over $111.68 for those post cards.)
The city could also go the "honorary street name" route, which is rarely used here, but quite common in New York City. In that case, a "Freshwater Way" sign would be attached to the regular street sign. This has its own set of rules and procedures. The Public Works Committee approved the amended proposal for the one-block Freshwater Way yesterday, June 19th, and passed it on to the full council for its consideration.
However, Freshwater Way may win out in the end, according to Jeff Fleming of the city: "When the roadway is extended into the Reed Street Yards, the plans are that the new name will continue along the western extension."
Scene on the Street
Sheila M. Pufahl-Bellin has applied for a Class B Fermented Malt Beverage and a Class C Wine Retail license for Brewed Cafe at 1208 E. Brady St., joining the other caffeinated joints in the area like Rochambo and Comet Cafe that offer alcoholic beverages. … Casablanca Restaurant's recent significant expansion at 1208 E. Brady St. is not without a few growing pains. Owner Ala Musa petitioned to extend its food service hours to 2 a.m., seven days a week, but this ran into opposition from neighbors who testified that since the expansion there have been problems with noise, intoxicated people, etc. outside the restaurant. It is one of the few places in the city that does three turns a day. It has an excellent lunch buffet, a solid dinner business, with a significant family presence, and then it becomes a night club, right down to the belly dancers. Ald. Nik Kovac suggested the change of hours should be held for now, and that a warning letter should be entered on the restaurant's file. … You have only until June 30th to indulge your culinary fantasies at Shubh Mobil gas station, 714 N. 27th St. That's because the licenses committee decided not to renew this establishment's permit to sell its diverse array of packaged foodstuffs. (The sort of junk that drives convenience store profits.) The neighborhood association, the police and residents gave committee members an earful about the business, long the nemesis of Ald. Bob Bauman. There was testimony about "litter, loitering, roaches, prostitutes, drug dealing and panhandling" at the location, which the alderman called a "radioactive site of nuisance." … Crisp Pizza, which also had a shaky existence, is closed at 1329 E. Brady Street. David Price and Christopher Tinker, two Brits who came here for soccer and stayed for business, plan to take the place over. They own Three Lions in Shorewood. … Mequon doesn't make it into the New York Times wedding announcements very often, but the paper of record printed a lovely piece about Jessica Lopez and Lauren Hare of New York who got married by a female Episcopal priest recently at Smith College, no less. Ms. Hare, who will now go by the name of Lauren Lopez, is the daughter of Karla Pinson Hare of Ozaukee County's largest and most populous city. … Goal Getters, Inc., a Countryside Illinois company that helps newspapers build their circulations and increase and retain their customer base, is suing Journal Communications in a contract case. Judge Kevin Martens will do the honors.

The "Fresh Coast"… ??? LOL
How fresh is cryptosporidium? Is it as fresh as the sewage they dump into the river?
Jesse H. says:
Frank, since the talk of changing the name of a street, for 1 block, got you so worked up… maybe your delicate self should take a baby aspirin and lie down on the davenport.
Warm milk should help too but that might be a bit spicy for you, I'm not sure you're up to it.
The JS had reported that the owner(s) of the Milwaukee Brat House on Third Street were poised to take over Crisp. I assume they had that wrong? I know the Three Lion guys have been looking to expand, so this makes sense.
Mr. Michael Horne says:
Chris —
There is a pending application from Brat House / Three Lions to purchase the building and business. It will reopen as Jack's American Pub. They will remodel it to look more like a Milwaukee tavern and less like a godawful strip mall club. Also, Mike Lee bought the Bruno building, and Josh Malone, manager of Nomad plans to run a bar there.
@ Jesse H. –
I don't own a davenport, nor do I have baby aspirin, nor do I have any milk.
But I will take your word for it that your "remedy" works.
Just trying to look out for you Frank, you seemed to be off kilter & in distress.
Off kilter and in distress?
Only when I read articles involving Barrett and Milwaukee politics.
John G. says:
Indulge me a little bit, for the first half of the 00's I was a college student here, and then resided in AZ for work for 4 prior to moving back. Through the cities return to having positive population growth (small, but still, the downtown is way different from 20 years ago), growing campus, an improving skyline, etc. what are some of your issues with Barrett besides the train?
Chris Jacobs says:
Good grief. Could the public works department and city government find anything less trivial to be wasting their time and $200 on. Who would have thought that residents wouldn't want to have to change all their addresses on labels, checks, mailboxes, and just about everything else that relates to their property. Duh!
It is all in the timing, perhaps. There are 110 apartments at Bridgeview at South Waterworks. These units are only a couple of years old. So if Barrett had come up with his idea earlier, before there were residents to vote against it, he might have had his way!
Tom W says:
And this week's NY Times noted a wedding in Shorewood at the Northshore Presbyterian Church!! One NOT officiated by their long time but now retired and beloved minster Rev. James Bender!!


I love the midi skirt trend in all its incarnations: pencil, pleated, full, wrap.... This full gathered skirt with patch pockets gives me the chance to revisit the skirts my friends and I wore (gasp!) a couple decades ago. Linen makes it lightweight and breezy so it's really easy to wear.
The pockets make it practical. And I think a high waistband is flattering on everyone.
I've been wearing this skirt with t-shirts and flip flops too.
I've got a complete tutorial for making this skirt to fit your measurements at We All Sew. It's really quick to sew. It's not too late to jump on the trend!
To check out the other tutorials I've created for BERNINA view my We All Sew profile.
It's Summer's end. At least in terms of our routine. we're headed back to school this coming week. So I had to get in one last, celebratory post for summer: some nautical dresses at the beach.
I'd had all this cute fabric sitting in my stash for a couple years and finally sewed something with it when I set up a crazy two-days-before-the-plane deadline for myself. I love this Dear Stella "Ahoy Matey" fabric with signal flags and sailboats, and the coastal sailboat scene canvas from Cath Kidston.
I sewed two sleeveless Sophisticate Dresses for Audrey and Scarlett. This is a pattern I've shared a few times before (originally here in a gold version, here in a houndstooth for Easter, and then here in a safari print) that's been partially drafted for more than a year now. It's not the only one, sadly. I really need to finish it because I love it.
And for Tess I sewed a Pretty Piped Skirt. This classic skirt has a flat front waistband with piping, and a gathered back waistband for ease of fitting and wearing. The first one I made is one of my favorite projects, a dog printed skirt with piped pockets. For this nautical version I made flap pockets. When I mentioned that the Sophisticate Dress isn't the only pattern sitting on my list, I was thinking of this skirt pattern too.
Oh well, with the change of seasons there's always the hope of finding more time in the routine!
It's been great having some time to play as a family and now I'm excited about the Fall routine with new classes, teachers and things to learn! I hope you are looking forward to the change of seasons too.
It's another Lady Skater Dress. This time in a colorblocked black and white. Always a good choice I think. And maxi length again.
I have made this dress twice before, one that is camouflage, elbow length sleeves and a modified maxi skirt and another with short sleeves and the same modified maxi skirt. This time I used the skirt pattern provided with the pattern but just lengthened it to the maxi. I can't decide which I love more, but the twirl factor with this skirt is really fun.
These dresses are so wearable! I'm going to keep making them. I love being able to throw one on and add shoes. And maybe a necklace. I made this black tassel necklace in about five minute. But then after taking these photos I remade it and like it even more. I'll share a tutorial soon in case you're not already making these.
This dress should take me nicely through the end of summer and then I'm picking out some fabrics for Fall because the Lady Skater would be so comfortable with boots. Maybe I'll try one in the original skirt length too. Who knows.
This time I selected some very comfy towels from Target and made the robes extra large so the girls can use them for a couple years.
If you've sewn with Dana's Beach Robe pattern you may be wondering how if these are her largest size, 3/4. No. I've sized up a few times so that Audrey's would probably fit a teenager.
The girls love them! And not just for the beach. These are our swimming robes all year round.
Hope you are enjoying the last days of summer!

Kubernetes can It aims to provide a platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers.
Kubernetes Interview Question # 1) What is the Kubernetes?
A) Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery.
Kubernetes Interview Question # 2) What is Kubernetes and how to use it?
A) Kubernetes is an open-source platform designed to automate deploying, scaling, and operating application containers. With Kubernetes, you are able to quickly and efficiently respond to customer demand: Deploy your applications quickly and predictably.
Kubernetes Interview Question # 3) What is the meaning of Kubernetes?
A) Kubernetes (commonly referred to as "K8s") is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications that was originally designed by Google and donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
Kubernetes Interview Question # 4) What is a docker?
A) Docker container is an open source software development platform. Its main benefit is to package applications in "containers," allowing them to be portable among any system running the Linux operating system (OS).
Kubernetes Interview Question # 5) What is orchestration in software?
A) Application Orchestration. Application or service orchestration is the process of integrating two or more applications and/or services together to automate a process, or synchronize data in real-time. Often, point-to-point integration may be used as the path of least resistance.
Kubernetes Questions # 6) What is a cluster in Kubernetes?
A) These master and node machines run the Kubernetes cluster orchestration system. A container cluster is the foundation of Container Engine: the Kubernetesobjects that represent your containerized applications all run on top of a cluster.
Interview Questions on Kubernetes # 7) What is a swarm in Docker?
A) Docker Swarm is a clustering and scheduling tool for Docker containers. With Swarm, IT administrators and developers can establish and manage a cluster ofDocker nodes as a single virtual system.
Kubernetes Openshift Interview Question # 8) What is Openshift?
A) OpenShift Online is Red Hat's public cloud application development and hosting platform that automates the provisioning, management and scaling of applications so that you can focus on writing the code for your business, startup, or big idea.
Docker and Kubernetes Interview Question # 9) What is a namespace in Kubernetes?
A) Namespaces are intended for use in environments with many users spread across multiple teams, or projects. Namespaces are a way to divide cluster resources between multiple uses (via resource quota). In future versions of Kubernetes, objects in the same namespace will have the same access control policies by default.
Kubernetes Interview Question # 10) What is a node in Kubernetes?
A) A node is a worker machine in Kubernetes, previously known as a minion. A nodemay be a VM or physical machine, depending on the cluster. Each node has the services necessary to run pods and is managed by the master components. The services on a node include Docker, kubelet and kube-proxy.
Kubernetes Interview Question # 11) What is Docker and what does it do?
A) Docker is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. Containers allow a developer to package up an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and ship it all out as one package.
Kubernetes Interview Question # 12) What is a Heapster?
A) Heapster is a cluster-wide aggregator of monitoring and event data. It supports Kubernetes natively and works on all Kubernetes setups, including our Deis Workflow setup.
Kubernetes Interview Question # 13) Why do we use Docker?
A) Docker provides this same capability without the overhead of a virtual machine. It lets you put your environment and configuration into code and deploy it. The same Docker configuration can also be used in a variety of environments. This decouples infrastructure requirements from the application environment.
Kubernetes Interview Question # 14) What is a docker in cloud?
A) A node is an individual Linux host used to deploy and run your applications. Docker Cloud does not provide hosting services, so all of your applications, services, and containers run on your own hosts. Your hosts can come from several different sources, including physical servers, virtual machines or cloud providers.
Kubernetes Interview Question # 15) What is a cluster of containers?
A) A container cluster is a set of Compute Engine instances called nodes. It also creates routes for the nodes, so that containers running on the nodes can communicate with each other. The Kubernetes API server does not run on your cluster nodes. Instead, Container Engine hosts the API server.
Kubernetes Interview Questions # 16) What is the Kubelet?
A) Kubelets run pods. The unit of execution that Kubernetes works with is the pod. A pod is a collection of containers that share some resources: they have a single IP, and can share volumes.
Kubernetes Interview Questions # 17) What is Minikube?
A) Minikube is a tool that makes it easy to run Kubernetes locally. Minikube runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a VM on your laptop for users looking to try out Kubernetes or develop with it day-to-day.
Kubernetes Interview Questions # 18) What is Kubectl?
A) kubectl is a command line interface for running commands against Kubernetes clusters. This overview covers kubectl syntax, describes the command operations, and provides common examples. For details about each command, including all the supported flags and subcommands, see the kubectl reference documentation.
Kubernetes Interview Questions # 19) What is the Gke?

There are over 800 languages in Papua New Guinea, perhaps as many as 850, depending on who is counting and how they count. And many of the languages have "dialects," the soldiers who make up the language army. There may even be several languages (and certainly dialects) in one geographical area.
People of one language group are often comprised of clans and subclans, groups that trace their descents to common ancestors. Each clan will have one or more leaders responsible for interacting with outsiders or forming alliances with other clans and groups. Some clans are large and some are quite small.
Clans have certain geographical boundaries and there is often fighting, or at least hard feelings, if the boundaries are not respected. There are usually stories, passed down through legend and tradition that tell where and when the boundaries were established. They may be marked by rivers, creeks, ravines, swamps, ridges, or special trees.
The leader of the clan is a "big man" and may have more wives, children, and gardens than any other aspiring big man, and he becomes widely known outside of his own particular clan. His children have special privileges and may become well-educated and follow their father as leaders. The men keep the women firmly in place, raising the children and pigs and attending to the gardens.
Form time to time, but often around Christmas, there are important festivities, with dancing and feasting represented by particular clans. They may exchange gifts as well.
Each clan often has their own tradestore, a small rectangular building, with assorted, but limited, goods for customers to buy. The sellers and buyers are often from the same clan.
Marriages take place between clans—it is generally not customary to marry someone from within the same blood group, although this is known to happen. The bride goes to the village or husband's area and, in some cases, lives in a different house than him for a period of time.
We live in Waco and there are reportedly at least 400 churches here, some say 450, but it depends on who is counting. Each church has a different name, although some have similar names. The largest churches may have "daughter" churches, although, generally "mama" does not preach in them.
The larger churches can trace their historical roots to John Calvin, Martin Luther, John Wesley, or even Saint Peter. The smaller ones are not so lucky and may have had a disagreement over some point of doctrine and started their own churches. Often the divergence centers around something the pastor said or did—he baptizes differently; he ran off with the organist; he wasn't very friendly at my uncle's funeral; he divorced his wife; he drives a Lexus and I drive a Chevy; and so on.
The pastors of a church are most often men, although the women naturally expect their rights and have been given equal leadership privileges in some churches.
The children of the pastors often go to special schools and, in a few cases, when dad gets old they will probably take over the church—if he stays in the church that long.
Each church is different in structure: some are very large, with imposing stained glass windows, steeples and modern technology. Others are small, even "storefront" and lack bands of worship teams, robes and special speakers. The "mega-churches" have denominational alliances and fight religious wars, based on doctrinal differences, perhaps on the basis of whether the water is poured, sprinkled, or rubbed on a person's head, or whether the head and body go completely under the water.
Big churches are also economically advantaged—they have stores selling the pastor's latest book, pictures of Jesus and the church, tapes of popular singers, DVDs that are approved for the children, books that are approved for the adults, and religious junk that is available for anyone.
The larger churches also have Charismas (and Easter) pageants that are lifelike: camels walking down the isles, strobe lights, Jesus walking on water, angels flying above the stage, and commentators with deep voices. The lesser churches resort to potluck suppers and the kids reciting verses about angels and shepherds.
Weddings are, of course, immense at the giant churches: lots of candles, songs, vows, speeches cakes and dances. The smaller churches tend not to provide weddings although being wed is still considered proper.
Clans don't generally intermarry, but, in Waco, a man and woman of the same denomination may marry; in fact this is often most suitable and delays immense wrangling over the church of choice in the future.
Clan women sit on one side of the church and men on the other, but not in the Waco churches, where partners often have their arms entwined during songs and the offering.
Clan Christmas festivities often include a "slippery pole," a pole that is tall and greased, with items of value (knives, clothes, money) at the top. Various men try to climb the pole for the objects—difficult because of the grease. Waco churches don't wait until Christmas, but have bingo and raffles anytime to entice members and give away cheap articles—for a price of course and always to benefit the building fund.
Clan weddings center on the exchange of goods between the two families such that both benefit. In the Highlands of PNG, pigs are most frequently exchanged. In contrast, instead of pork, in Waco weddings focus on the exchange of wealth and rich slices of cake and bottles of wine. The father of the bride pays for most items, sometimes leaving his family destitute, but he gets to dance with the bride and hug the groom.
There is fellowship in the clan, most often between related people, and in the church there may also be relatives in the same church or denomination.
Food is central to clans and churches. The latter often employ the traditional "pot luck," where chili is common in Texas and sweet potato in the Highlands of PNG. Occasionally, unusual items are served, like alligator in the lowland areas of Papua New Guinea and rabbit in Texas.
Protestant churches baptize according to tradition and doctrine; clans initiate by tradition but there is no written clan doctrine. Whatever happens is according to the doctrine, passed down by the resident denomination.
As one would expect, baptism is a big deal in Baptist (pronounced something like "badis," but said quidkly, in the South) Churches. There is no special attire in most American churches, but in Papua New Guinea, the person must wear white in order to be baptized.
In Waco, Texas, there is great exultation and praise when the football or basketball team wins. (Not as much is expected in baseball or the other sports although "Lady Bears" softball has been known to generate raised hands and loud hollering.
There are now many Charismatic churches in Papua New Guinea, often supplanting the more established denominational ones. A man once told me that the denominational churches were like old dried up cows that can't give milk any longer. Of course the charismatic churches have lots of milk, but sometimes little steak.


Easter and chocolate. Chocolate and coffee. Coffee and candy. Candy and Mini Eggs. This is how my mind works (for better or worse). As I was scanning my cook books for a cookie recipe I was enjoying a coffee and some Cadbury Mini Eggs. I wondered how I could get all of that into my mouth at once... So I put down the recipe book and decided to experiment.
Please join me on this cookie ride.
Note: I let the dough set up overnight so this isn't a quick hit. I suppose you could make right away but the cookie tastes infinitely richer if it sits at minimum 6 hours.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour and cocoa powder.
Add sugar, salt and baking soda. Mix well.
Add melted butter and mix thoroughly (I use a mixer but not necessary).
Add cooled coffee and mix thoroughly.
The dough should be extremely sticky with a rich colour.
Next up, take about 1 cup of Mini Eggs, put in a bag, grab a hammer and have at it! All eggs should be broken but not pulverized.
Add the mini eggs to the mixture. You can mix them in with mixer or by hand. Just mix enough so they are incorporated in the dough.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and put in fridge for at MINIMUM 6 hours. (I like overnight). Why? It allows the coffee to work and enhance the cocoa flavour. I baked a cookie after 3 hours and after overnight - the taste difference was indescribable.
Now... Bear with me. There are 2 ways I have done this cookie - the choice will be dictated by the pans you are using.
Spray cookie pans with non-stick spray.
Grab about a 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in a bowl.
Remove dough from fridge - the dough needs to stay cold so you may have to pop it back in periodically during the baking process.
Roll the dough into one-inch diameter balls with your hands.
Roll the dough balls in the bowl of sugar and place on greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly and top with mini egg. press slightly into dough.
Bake at 350F for about 8-10 minutes. I like these cookies to have the consistency of a brownie so I under-cook them slightly.
Wait for 1-2 mins then move from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
Remove bowl from fridge and let sit for 15-20 minutes. This dough can be a little soft.
Press dough into pan and top with a mini egg.
Wait for 1-2 mins then move from cookie sheet to cooling rack. I use a very small spatula to get under the cookie to remove them from pan.
This recipe make approximately 40 cookies.
I will say that these cookies taste best within a couple of days of baking. I have (successfully) warmed them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, topped with ice cream and KA-POW!
These sound scrumptious! Coffee and chocolate and cookies! Oh my!
I like to call them the mini-egg cookie for the refined palate! They are not your sweet cookie, but a more complex flavour... Well as complex as cookies with mini-eggs get - hehehehe.

TES Awards 2021 Shortlisting!
Exciting nominations from two school's in the WeST Trust!
We are delighted to share that when the Times Education Supplement (TES) released this year's shortlist of winners for each category, WeST nominees were found in two sections!
Firstly, Callington Community College has been shortlisted for Science team of the year. Callington has every right to be very proud of its science team, even more so now that it has been shortlisted for Science Team of the Year award in the TES!
Callington Community College received notification of the award on Thursday, and it was printed in this week's edition of the TES. The nomination recognises the hard work of the team and its commitment to ensuring children enjoy and continue to pursue science related careers and experiences.
Secondly, Rachel Hutchinson, Principal of Ivybridge Community College (ICC), has been shortlisted for TES Headteacher of the Year! The role of Headteacher is often that of unsung hero, working extremely hard in the background in order to create the climate where others flourish and excel.
Rachel's mission, to 'champion every child', provides a rich set of blended opportunities, regardless of a child's interests, talents, background or academic ability. This ensures there is equal access to high-quality education for all students at ICC, additional prospects for students, excellent academic results and wonderful enrichment opportunities.
Key to Rachel's success is her focus on whole-school enrichment, supporting a unified team of staff, setting high expectations and striving for excellence at all times. It is absolutely terrific therefore, that Rachel's drive, ambition and sheer determination for all those in her care to succeed, has been nationally recognised. Rachel's enthusiasm is contagious, but her cheerful disposition should be mistaken for lack of steel!
We wish both WeST shortlisted nominations every success on the night!

Тассилон II (; умер около 719) — герцог Баварии (716/718 — около 719) из династии Агилольфингов.

Биография

Ранние годы
Тассилон II был одним из сыновей (возможно, третьим по старшинству) правителя Баварии Теодона II и его супруги .

Незадолго до 715 года Теодон II повторно разделил свои владения между сыновьями. Предполагается, что Тассилон II тогда мог получить в управление Пассау и его окрестности. Его братья также получили по части Баварского герцогства: Теудеберт мог стать владельцем земель вокруг Зальцбурга, Теудебальд — Регенсбурга и его окрестности, а Гримоальд II — западных областей вместе с городом Фрайзингом (об этом сообщается в житии святого Корбиниана).

Герцог Баварии
Дата смерти герцога Теодона II точно неизвестна: называются даты с 716 по 718 год включительно. После его смерти между братьями начались междоусобия. Возможно, к тому времени относится свидетельство Павла Диакона о завоевании королём Лиутпрандом в начале правления «многих укреплённых городов бавар». Предполагается, что правитель лангобардов мог вмешаться в конфликт между своими баварскими родственниками, и, возможно, поддержать в нём Теудеберта.

О правлении Тассилона II никаких подробностей в средневековых исторических источниках не сохранилось. Он скончался около 719 года. Тогда же умер и его брат Теудебальд. Неизвестно, были ли их кончины связаны с происходившими тогда в Баварии междоусобиями. После смерти Тассилона II и Теудебальда власть над Баварским герцогством разделили два оставшихся сына Теодона II, Теудеберт и Гримоальд II.

Семья
Единственное упоминание о Тассилоне II в раннесредневековых источниках сохранилось в «Зальцбургской книге побратимов», составленной в 784 году. В ней он назван человеком, не состоявшим в браке.

Однако здесь же содержится сообщение о некоей Вальтрате, супруге брата Тассилона Теудебальда. Так как достоверно известно, что супругу Теудебальда звали Пилитруда, некоторые историки высказывают мнение о том, что Вальтрата могла быть или первой женой Теудебальда, или супругой Тассилона. Существует также мнение, что супругой Тассилона была Имма, дочь алеманнского герцога. Предполагается, что в этом браке могла родиться Свангильда, вторая супруга майордома Франкского государства Карла Мартелла.

Вплоть до конца XIX века историки считали, что сыном Тассилона II был Одилон, правивший Баварией в 736—748 годах. Однако в настоящее время среди исследователей преобладает мнение о том, что родителями Одилона были герцог Алеманнии Готфрид и неизвестная по имени дочь баварского герцога Теодона II.

As reported yesterday, the Android 2.2 update is finally official, ready and heading for an HTC Droid Incredible near you today.
It has taken a very long time for Froyo to finally reach this HTC smartphone, which has been on a roller coaster of sorts this summer from going out of stock thanks to high demand and the AMOLED shortage, to finally being available again. After weeks of rumors about when the much-awaited (highly needed?) upgrade would drop, it's nice that this story can finally be put to rest.
Have any Droid Incredible owners received the Froyo update yet? And if so, how well is it working for you so far?


PetzA is an add-on for Petz 2, 3, 4, 5 and Babyz that gives you tons of cool new features and even fixes bugs in the game. PetzA appears as a new menu item at the top of your Petz or Babyz game.
Babyz and Petz - take out an unlimited number of Petz and Babyz at once! Just keep clicking the "Pick a pet" button to bring out more.
Instant mating of petz, have your babies grow up instantly!
Stop your Babyz from soiling their diapers!
Brainsliders for your petz/babyz - control their age, fatness, etc.
If have a version which is slightly different than what is required (Eg. you have the Petz program from the Catz CD, but PetzA requires the Petz program from the Dogz CD), then PetzA will automatically download and install the new version for you.
Please note! PetzA does not support non-English versions of Petz 5 or Petz 4. Allowing PetzA to auto-update these versions during install will stop them from working. To repair them, you can restore the backup that PetzA makes of the Petz exe. View a tutorial here.
Already convinced? Head over to the download page.
In some games, you may find that the game will crash if you're taking snapshots and choose "Take other petz/babyz photo" with more than 4 petz/babyz in the scene.
Remember that the brain-sliders are dangerous to use for "growing-up" only some of a litter of babies who are still part of their mother. Use the sliders on babies at your own risk; if you corrupt the mother's file and lose the babies, nobody can fix it.
If you click on the "bring out" name of an already-out pet, the game will crash.
Remember that this is still in development, treat it as you would any beta-test software. Use at your own risk and remember to always, always, ALWAYS store backup copies of your precious files somewhere safe. I repeat -- make sure you back up precious .pet files and .baby files.
Unfortunately, PetzA cannot support Catz 1, Dogz 1 or Oddballz, as these programs are in a different, incompatible format.
This version removes the screen resolution check on Petz 5, allowing Petz to run on smaller screens, like laptops.
This version prevents crashes caused by making your pets too young (Below 6), and lets you stop Babyz from being able to soil their diapers.


When we last chatted about my 'Fall' Centerpiece, it was a bit more of a Fall centerpiece with Halloween flare. Not truly a Halloween centerpiece, but hints of Halloween. I got rid of the Halloween hints and made it simply a Fall centerpiece. It was just a matter of taking out the black feather boa and adding leaves in its place. I also added new wine bottles etched with Fall themed items rather than the Halloween.
Above is the changed Fall centerpiece. I showed you how I made the Swirly Wirly ~ Spiral Rosette Yarn Wrapped Pumpkin that is the start of the show, but before we get too far, let me show you the original centerpiece.
See the hints of Halloween? The black feather boa as well as the pumpkin and spider web etched on the wine bottle candle holders. You can read the whole post about this version: Fall Centerpiece.
They are now gone. Let me show you what I replaced them with in order to make this truly a Fall centerpiece.
I really liked the centerpiece with the black feather boa and I really like it with the leaves as well. So pretty to look at everyday.
I added some new wine bottle candle holders for this updated Fall centerpiece. I just had to drink some wine to get these two bottles….sometimes decorating is a real challenge! 😉 Then I followed my tutorial on How to Make Your Own Stencils to make some leaf stencils and etch them into the glass of the wine bottles. I even tried overlapping 2 stencils with the smaller leaves.
I love the way they turned out. The kids really like these 'candle' holders. We light these candles more than any others. They like waiting and watching to see if the wax will run down the side of the bottle.
There you have it…my updated centerpiece. Hope you enjoyed the tour and that maybe it gave you some ideas for your own house or table.
Have a great day! Enjoy the beautiful Fall season.
That is a reall nice looking center piece, I am glad that I get to see it everyday.
Very pretty fall version with the leaves!
Hi, I found your blog from the frugal girl's link party, and am def a new follower from this post! I'm so impressed by your centerpiece and especially by the fact that you made your own stencils. Thank you so much for posting a how-to for the stencils. I've been wondering how to do that. Beautiful Fall table!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found me and that you found things that are so helpful to you. Welcome, I'm so glad you are following. Have a great night!
Thank you! We are enjoying the centerpiece.
I'm visiting from Happy Go Lucky. I love everything about this centerpiece – it's lovely! Have a great weekend.
Thank you! You have a great weekend as well!
I love how it transforms so easily from Halloween to fall – I can't pick a favorite!
Thank you! Yes, it works great to bring it into November and is fast and easy….like, like, like! Have a great night.
I love this! i especially love the pumpkin with the yarn flowers!!! Im going to remember this one!
Thank you! I love that pumpkin as well…it took quite a while to make, but was worth it in the end.
love your table centerpiece…I'm about to do some etching later this week. It's so fun to update regular ole stuff, isn't it?
Thank you, Gail! Yes, it is fun to update regular stuff. I did more etching last night, working on Christmas gifts. I added in some regular stuff while I was at it. It adds such fun! Thanks for stopping by.
Love the decorated pumpkins and the etched wine bottles!!!
Thank you! Enjoy if you try making them.
Super cute, creative & crafty!

GRID 2019 (Review)
Price: £44.99 (Ultimate Edition £64.99, Upgrade to Ultimate Edition £29.99)
Ah, Codemasters. Purveyors of racing games since… Well, as long as I can remember. No, that's a lie, I grew up with them publishing Dizzy games. But for a while, at least. Sometimes a little simulation-like, mostly arcadey, with fairly good music, a fair few licensed vehicles/teams/racers, and this time…
Rolliiiiing START!
Three races before you even hit the main menu for the first time. Three races, and something like five interminable cutscenes. Oh, GRID 2019 is off to a rolling start, and… Wait, what are the keybindings again? Oh… Oh… Suffice to say, even though I understood part of why, I was less than impressed with how my experience started.
Was I impressed with the game itself? Weeeelll… It honestly isn't bad. The cars are somewhat tunable, and there's a moderate variety of them, with the most in the Invitational category (presently, at least, as the game has a Season Pass and some car DLCs already… hissssss…) Aesthetically, it looks good. The menu music is solid Racing Game music, of the kind you hear in racing recap segments, or, indeed, earlier Codemasters games (in mood and motif. Not exactly the same music) But when it comes to the races themselves, it's the cars you concentrate on, and they, also, sound good. A Camaro sounds different to a Mini Metro, and when you're pushing them to their limit, they sound like they should… Straining and buzzing angrily at the treatment you're giving them.
When in doubt, I trade paint. Epilepsy aside, this is probably why I shouldn't be allowed to drive.
The tracks, the racers, the cars… They are, for the most part, the popular ones. Oh, there's Silverstone. There's San Francisco. But there aren't that many of them (although, as with many racing games, extra variation is added with track weather and driving the course in reverse), and… Well, even though I'm sure there will be some free tracks, the purpose of that Season Pass becomes clear.
But this, also, I could somewhat forgive, because what there are are some interesting and technical tracks. And, if you're not a great racer, one who makes some pretty nasty mistakes, the flashback feature from past Codemasters games is alive and well, on a rechargable basis rather than "You have this many." These are nice. It even allows you to unlock races without actually winning them. And, of the race styles, there's a fair few, which, overall, is the most varied part of it for me (With Invitational taking up the most room in terms of both cars and events)
The customisation system is also alright. A limited pattern set, but I wasn't expecting Picasso, and I managed to make something I'm happy with easily enough.
Hell, the AI is at least alright, reacting to you, playing aggressively if you're anywhere except in first and speeding the hell ahead, although if you qualify, then get first, you're going to have a much easier time of it, and some racers… Well, here we get to what's not so great. Specifically, the nemesis system, and the team system.
The nemesis system, on the face of it, is a clear one: If, like me, you race dirty, and trade paint, or even bits of your frame, to gain advantage, you're going to piss other racers off. And you have a team member, who can be ordered to attack (try and move up), and defend (try and help you forward.) There's even purchasable team members, but, to be honest… Neither feature seems to play much of a role. Nemeses (for lo, I often have multiple on any given lap) don't seem to be more willing than usual to trade paint with you, or screw you over, and team-mate orders don't really help all that much with your position over, say… Having a good line, and being aggressive.
Okay, okay, so maybe that's trading more than paint. I got a decent position, alright?
As such, buying team members isn't really a purchase I've bothered with, to, basically, no effect on how I've enjoyed the game (which is "Somewhat") The UX is that understated style you often see in racing games nowadays, and, in and of itself, it's not bad (although damn, do the visuals on cars seem to take an Ice Age to load in those menus!)
And this leaves me uncertain where I stand, precisely, with GRID 2019. It's alright, for sure, but it's made some odd decisions, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Ultimate Editions, Season Passes, and whatnots, and some of its features seem under implemented, despite being seemingly flagship features. I also can't deny that it feels like less than its predecessors. And, as such… I'm erring on the side of "Not really."
The Mad Welshman is not, after experimentation, as bad at arcade racers of this style as he feared. Turns out he's just aggressive.

Guns, veils, unflinching stares: the banned work about Iran's female rebels | Art and design
A woman looks out at us, wearing the chador and holding the barrel of a gun against her face. She is defiant, determined, militant, brave. The title of the work, Rebellious Silence, evokes her quiet sense of power. Her steadfast gaze suggests conviction and belief. Across her face, in hand-drawn Farsi, is a feminist-focused poem that references the laws that came into play during the 1979 Iranian revolution, which still today require all Iranian women to wear the veil in public. "The written text is the voice of the photograph," the artist, Shirin Neshat, said. "It breaks the silence of the still woman."
Having lived in exile from Iran for 11 years, separated from her family, Neshat returned to the country of her birth in 1990. She had left as a teenager, when the foundations for the Islamic revolution were being laid, and continued her studies in the US. Upon her return, her country had been transformed.
We are not scared. We are outraged. People think that we're going to just stop. We are not going to stop
Interested in engaging in the stories of the women who lived through and shaped the revolution, as well as connecting culturally and emotionally to her heritage, Neshat took to her camera. Conducting interviews, reading and speaking with friends, she gathered her findings into a visual vocabulary that resulted in two powerful photographic series: Unveiling (1993-4) and Women of Allah (1993-7).
Neshat focused on a group of religious women who, in the wake of the revolution, became "voluntarily militant". Her images opened up a dialogue about the role of women and their bodies, a rejection of western imperialism, and the idea of martyrdom. The results are filled with contradictory symbols: violence and femininity, power and submission, religion and politics, love and death. "Women of Allah," said Neshat, "asked how such women stood at that intersection of love, faith, devotion – yet cruelty, violence and ultimately death."
She went through its elements: "The weapon suggested the violence that came with the Islamic regime; the veil, both as a symbol of repression, for those who are against mandatory hijab, and submission for the extremely religious women."

By using the female body – which, in Neshat's words, has been "used as a battleground for men's religious and ideological rhetoric" – the work brings to light the long and continuous discussions around the control of women and the way they dress by those in power. During the 1925-41 Reza Shah reign, women were unveiled by force. After the 1979 revolution, they were subjected to compulsory hijab laws. Today, they are bravely protesting.
Over the past few weeks, hundreds of protests have erupted in the streets of Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini. She was a healthy 22-year-old woman who, while visiting Tehran with her family, was stopped by the morality police for wearing her hijab in an "improper" manner. Amini was taken to a detention centre, and died three days later in suspicious circumstances while in police custody.
Bravely standing in solidarity with Amini, women across Iran – and the world – have been cutting their hair, ripping off their headscarves, burning their hijabs and organising demonstrations. While the Iranian government has shut down internet access, videos circulating on social media have been documenting one of the most significant revolutions to happen for women in modern times. These videos also reveal the terrifying violence, panic and fear inflicted on protesters.
The heroism is astonishing. An unnamed protester speaking on CNN proclaimed: "We are not scared. We are outraged. People think that we are the previous generation – that if they do this we're going to just stop. We are not going to stop. This is a one-way road for us. They will take even more people into custody, torture them, rape them. This is not the end."
It became very controversial and the government attacked it
Whilst Neshat's series is rooted in the women associated with the revolution of 1979, their gaze evokes the determination of the protesters today. The fact that the work is banned from Iran highlights the country's conservatism. "Soon after I made the Women of Allah series ," said Neshat, "it became very controversial. The government found it critical and attacked it as anti-revolution. I was advised not to return."
The hand-drawn Farsi written across the woman's face in Rebellious Silence is Tahereh Saffarzadeh's poem Allegiance with Wakefulness. Combined with her powerful photos, the text speaks to the bravery of women in the 1979 revolution just as much as it does to those protesting today: "O, you martyr, / hold my hands / With your hands / Cut from earthly means / Hold my hands, / I am your poet. / With an inflicted body. / I've come to be with you / and on the promised day, / We shall rise again."
