Textile artists putting the 'fab' into fabric artwork exhibition
By Georgia Matthews
TWO artists are proving that landscape art is not strictly restricted to the canvas in a new exhibition in Allendale.
Original members of co-operative group Allendale Creative Artists, Jean Haste and Thelma Russell helped to bring Allendale Forge Studios to life in 2006, and have continued to support the artistic hub by displaying their work in the gift store and serving at the shop.
This month the pair will showcase their colourful, unique artwork, handmade entirely from wool and silk at their joint exhibition Earth - The Seasons and the Sky held at Forge's gallery.
Jean and Thelma first met in the nineties, volunteering backstage to create the costumes and set designs for amateur theatre company called Billingham Players in their hometown in Teeside, which they are still involved with today..
"We're both creative people with hands that needed to be kept busy, so we bonded fairly instantly over our shared love for arts and crafts," said Jean.
"We both wanted to push ourselves more, and experiment with new styles and mediums, so we signed up for various classes across the North-East.
"I had always painted conventionally on a canvas with watercolours, oils and pastels and I grew up sewing and knitting, but it never occurred to me to combine the two mediums until we attended a one-day silk painting workshop together which was held by Jill Clay.
"From that moment I was hooked, and ever since then I seem to spend all my time looking at things and thinking 'I wonder if I can do that in silk painting'?"
Although it is Northumberland's varied countryside and its abundance of nature which inspires Jean's work, her pieces are deliberately not set anywhere specific, so that the landscapes can speak to viewers from all across the country.
"It's hard not to be inspired by the wildlife, the changing seasons and particularly the pink sunsets we are lucky enough to get in this part of the world. So far, I've never had to struggle for ideas on what to paint, because there is so much on my doorstep."
There are two methods Jean uses to construct her silk artworks, and both involve the use of household appliances.
"I either use heat fix paint technique, which is simply paint designed to be used on fabrics, and I'll fix that down on to the silk by ironing it in," explained Jean.
"My favourite technique though is to dye the silk, and then fix the colour in with steam, which I do by placing the fabric in a vegetable steamer for anywhere between 12 minutes and two hours, depending on the size."
Achieving the same level of detail which you might find on a scenic landscape painting on to a delicate silk has its hardships though, because the nature of the fabric is to spread, which Jean said gives her limited control over the piece.
To make the trees, wildflowers and mountains out of thread, she uses a technique called 'free embroidery', named by fellow textile artist Alison Holt.
This technique means she has to remove the feed dogs on her machine, in order to feed the fabric through by hand, and control the stitching to where she wants it to go.
Thelma's talents lie with her wool work, which she began experimenting with 20 years ago.
Her desire to work with wool was propelled by her concerns about environmental issues, and reducing her plastic waste.
"The art of making felt only requires sheep's wool, water and lots of elbow grease," she said. "I don't need to use any of the plastic tools or materials which are so often found in commercial arts and crafts now.
"It's a natural, low-tech and handmade method of creating sustainable art."
Keen to recycle where she can, Thelma also sources much of her materials secondhand from charity shops.
It was her interest in costume traditionally bright ethnic clothing which influenced her colourful work.
"I'm taken by the fusion of elaborate decorative pieces made with humble material.
"I've never tired of the infinite design possibilities of simple geometrical shapes like rectangles and circles," she said.
Whilst she does create felt landscape paintings, Thelma places more emphasis on her ever growing collection of functional objects, as she calls them, which include rugs, jewellery, vases and table decorations.
"Working with sheep wool is something humans have practised in all cultures for thousands of years to clothe and protect themselves, so it helps me to feel connected with the past," she said.
Earth - The Seasons and the Sky will run from Tuesday, July 2 to Wednesday, July 31 at Forge Gallery 2.
Visitors are invited to watch a demonstration of wool and silk work from artists on July 6.

Decided to create an ongoing list of games that I have kickstarted.
I will post if I have received them or played them yet.
I kickstarted this at the Line for Life level. I hope it pays off in the future.
Wife has not been very interested in this.
I kickstarted this because it was low priced. I did get the 4 player expansion also.
Wife and I played, we though it was fun. Has not been played since.
We like Bohnanza, though this would also be fun.
We liked it. Kinda waiting for the expansion to come out.
I liked Jenga growing up.
We both like it, play it with groups. But we own alot of games, and it gets forgotten about.
Backed this because I own the base game.
Wife doesn't like zombies, but Halloween is coming. Maybe I can get some zombie gaming in.
I though it looked interesting.
Have not bought it outside of kickstarter.
Backed this. The publisher had impressed me with the components of D-Day Dice and the campaign was run well.
Backed to get the Fluxx expansion cards.
Played - The fluxx cards are in my deck.
I try to support local publishers. They did well with Farmageddon, I gave them more money.
Back in school (Received after I started). Time is a premium, but it's not hidden in the basement so it's got a chance still.
Edit - It's been played. We have played a few times at the two of us and a few with friends. Everybody liked it.
Also as with D-Day Dice I decided to give this a go.
15 bucks. Good price. Included shipping.
We both like it. I wish the box top was sturdier. It's been played several times.
Supporting a local company. I liked Get Bit, and that helped get my money.
It's in our want to play pile, but haven't gotten to it yet.
Edit - We love this game. It's fast, fun and crazy. Sometimes you even run your own guys off the plank!
Ok I backed the app. But only because I wanted the cardboard pieces for my cardboard game.
Havent played 6 player yet, and may be a while before I do. But we've used most of the other components to our liking.
Another Utah company. I love dice too.
Edit - I really like this game. I do wish it had a box though.
It's mixed into the Dungeon Roll box now.
7 players? - Who knows if i'll ever get to play this.
Looks crazy fun. Can't wait.
It was so cheap. I had to back it.
Only in at the promo card level.
Cards are in the box. They are serving their purpose of adding variety.

WBD/Omaha Draymond Green 'all-access' series looks at aftermath of Green's punch, draws strong reactions
The WBD decision to premiere the The Countdown series on Draymond Green with an episode where he discussed his punch of teammate Jordan Poole drew a lot of criticism.
NBAWarner Bros. DiscoveryBy Andrew Bucholtz on 10/19/2022 10/19/2022
Golden State Warriors' forward Draymond Green has drawn a lot of attention for his "new media" comments about athletes presenting their own narratives. Many of those "new media" efforts are done in partnership with established media companies and/or personalities, though, such as Green's podcast with Colin Cowherd's The Volume. And in addition to that podcast, Green is also a contributor to Warner Bros. Discovery Sports (formerly Turner)'s NBA coverage, signing on with them on a regular basis in January following years of (sometimes controversial) guest appearances.
Green's WBD deal got particular attention on TNT's opening night NBA coverage Tuesday. There, they debuted an "all-access" The Countdown series on Green (in partnership with his 23 Green company and with Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions). And the premiere of that series covered Green's reactions to media coverage of his punch of Jordan Poole in practice and his eventual fine from the team. Here's how WBD announced that Tuesday:
WBD Sports, Omaha Productions and Green 23 will debut a new all-access series, The Countdown, during pregame tonight.

And here's part of the actual segment that aired:
Both the existence of The Countdown and Green's specific remarks here have drawn a lot of comment. Here's some of that:

As Zach Harper noted, Green's comments here don't really align with what he previously said at his press conference about watching the video 15 times, where he said "Watching the video, this looks awful, this looks even worse than I thought it was."
And Green's wardrobe ahead of the Warriors' game against the Lakers was also an interesting choice, with many comparing him to Batman villain The Riddler:

It seems unlikely this series fully came together in the aftermath of Green's punch of Poole. Green's January Turner deal mentioned "Green making appearances on TNT's Inside the NBA, among additional content initiatives throughout the Turner Sports and Bleacher Report portfolio," and it seems likely this The Countdown was envisioned as part of that. We don't know that for sure, though, given that this series doesn't appear to have been officially announced ahead of Tuesday.
But The Countdown fits with Green's wider attempts to take his message to the public more directly (albeit through established media companies). And given WBD's previous spotlighting of Green on their NBA coverage, they certainly would have had interest in an all-access series on him before the Poole punch. So it seems reasonable to presume that this was at least in the works before the Poole incident. But the decision to start this now and start it with an episode including commentary on Green's punch of Poole is one that can be debated.
There were at least four potential options for WBD in the wake of Green's punch of Poole (who, for his part, has been very quiet about this, mostly just expressing hope to move on). One would have been to cut ties with Green entirely. Another would have been to put the debut of this series off for at least a week, if not indefinitely (which would have been easier than with expected series, considering how it wasn't officially announced). A third would have been to go ahead with this, but not discuss the Poole punch, similarly to how Green's only podcast since the incident and his appearance on The Shop have gone (those were recorded ahead of the punch, though, whereas this wouldn't have had that excuse). The fourth was what they chose, leaning into this and presenting Green's commentary on it.
All of those options have pros and cons. Handling this the way WBD did maximizes interest in it, but draws criticism (as shown above) for capitalizing on Green's punch of a teammate. But the "Green is profiting from this" argument is only somewhat correct; if the series was in fact commissioned before the punch, Green is profiting from this being part of his overall WBD deal, not from them specifically paying for content on the punch. And the decision to include that content and start this series now is more on WBD/Omaha than him.
The other options have their own pitfalls as well. A first The Countdown episode Tuesday without anything on the punch would have been bashed for ducking the controversy. Holding off on the series for at least a week or more might have let the punch situation cool off a little, and drawn less criticism for not covering the punch, but it also would have drawn less attention and engagement. And while WBD parting ways with Green entirely in the wake of this punch would have been praised by some, it would likely have been bashed by others, including Green.(It's also unclear what the financial impact there would be; it would depend on the specifics of any termination clauses in that contract.) So there wasn't an easy route for WBD to take. But the one they chose may have maximized engagement, but it also maximized criticism.

Q: Find regex and add to the end of the document in Notepad++ I have a few files following the following format:
ABC 123 XYZ DEF 456. GHI 789 UVW. etc.

I want to extract all the instances of XYZ's and UVW's and add them to the end of the document, like so:
ABC 123 XYZ DEF 456. GHI 789 UVW. etc. XYZ, UVW

Is there a way to do this with Notepad++?
What I have so far is how to capture individual instances of XYZ, extracting the XYZ part via the (.*?)/$1 etc. But I am not sure how to paste that content to the end of document (presumably through $), nor how to capture all the instances (XYZ, UVW, etc.)

A: I've modified your example by applying the following changes:

*

*replaced manually  with  as I considered it as a typo.

*added couple of new lines and diversified the number of occurrences in each line to check the robustness of the regex expression

Finally the output I've use is as follows:
ABC 123 Desc100 DEF 456. GHI 789 Desc101. etc.1
ABC 123 Desc102 DEF 456. GHI 789 Desc103. etc.2
ABC 123 Desc104 DEF 456. GHI 789 Desc105. etc.ABC 123 Desc106 DEF 456. GHI 789 Desc107. etc.3
ABC 123 Desc108 DEF 456. GHI 789 Desc109ABC 123 Desc110. etc.4

It's important to make a copy of the original document.
In N++
Ctrl+H
Find what: (.*?<a href="(?<url>[^"]*)">(?<description>.*?)<\/a>)(?(?!(.*?<a href="(?<url>[^"]*)">.*?<\/a>))(.*?$)|())
Replace with: $+{description}, // the delimiter is comma but any other character can be used instead
Wrap around: checked
Search Mode → select 'Regular expression' AND '. Matches newline': checked
Click on 'Replace All' button.
Obtained output:
Desc100,Desc101,Desc102,Desc103,Desc104,Desc105,Desc106,Desc107,Desc108,Desc109,Desc110,

This operation leaves the document with all the required instances. Now this content can be appended to the original document either manually or programmatically.

Sainsbury's launches software development apprenticeship in bid to up tech skills
Retailer Sainsbury's is targeting those with and without previous technical skills to become software development apprentices
Clare McDonald
Business Editor
Sainsbury's has launched an apprenticeship scheme targeting individuals who want to learn coding skills. The retailer announced it is taking applications for the specialist apprenticeship until 7 July 2016.
On its application page, the retailer said people who are thinking of applying do not necessarily need previous coding experience, but should have at least a Level Three qualification, a C grade pass in GCSE English and Maths, and a passion for technology.
Jon Rudoe, digital and technology director at Sainsbury's, said: "Over the past year we have grown our digital and technology team to more than 900 people. We want to discover the next generation of coders and give them great opportunities and training in our fast-paced business.
"By creating these apprenticeships, we're enabling people to turn their passion for technology into a potential career with us."
The two-year apprenticeship programme will launch in the summer of 2016 after 10 successful applicants are chosen to participate.
Apprentices will be based in the Sainsbury's Digital Lab in London, where they will go through a six-week coding and developing bootcamp.
The apprentices will then take part in Sainsbury's digital projects, focused on improving the online and technical shopping experience of the retailer's 24 million customers and 161,000 staff.
The 10 participants will learn skills such as Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript and Golang programming languages, as well as business skills, team development and the lifecycle of technical projects.
Read more about Sainsbury's
Sainsbury's plans to open bank branches in some stores as it expands further into financial services.
Head of online operations development at Sainsbury's, Dave Crellin, says retail channels are growing so fast customers don't know what they want.
At the end of the two-year course, the participants will have gained essential coding and developing skills, as well as a Level Four qualification in software development, equivalent to a degree.
The retailer, which has more than 1,200 outlets in the UK, has been focused on a digital push over the past two years.
This started with the launch of the Sainsbury's Digital lab in Holborn in August 2015, which was designed to allow in-house development teams to promote innovative digital development for the supermarket firm.
To take steps away from the traditional retail model, Sainsbury's began restructuring to invest in digital during 2015. It and proceeded to launch an online channel for its clothing business, as well as partner with Argos to roll out Argos digital kiosks in selected supermarket locations.
The firm, which currently has 101 click and collect locations for grocery delivery, plans to roll out more locations for the service across 2016.
At the beginning of 2016, the firm developed 150 digital roles in Manchester to add to its 900-strong in-house development team.
Though online sales have been rising for the retailer, cuts have been made elsewhere to cater to digital and development roles as part of the structural shift.
Rudoe said: "Technology plays a key role in delivering Sainsbury's strategy. These apprentices will get the chance to work on projects across our business, from online groceries to our clothing website, banking and much more. They will also be working alongside some of the most talented people in the industry."

81°F Overcast
Four people injured after multi-vehicle accident on FM 1179
By Michael Oder |
Posted: Wed 6:28 PM, Oct 10, 2018 |
Updated: Thu 10:08 AM, Oct 11, 2018
BRYAN, Tex. (KBTX) - The Department of Public Safety was working a multi-vehicle accident on FM 1179, near Steep Hollow Road Wednesday afternoon.
The wreck happened a little before 6 P.M.
According to DPS Troopers, five vehicles were involved in the accident. At least four people were taken to a nearby hospital with injuries, including a small child. We're told that no one had serious injuries.
FM 1179 was shut down in both directions while crews worked to move the vehicles. Drivers were delayed during the afternoon commute.
The road reopened around 7 P.M.

This year's fourth issue of FoodService Europe & Middle East is on its way to readers in over 50 countries of the world. This time with two market portraits and an interesting interview with Tim Martin, founder of Britain's J D Wetherspoon pub chain.
Food and beer are the strengths of the over 780 J D Wetherspoon pubs in Great Britain. While more and more pubs there are closing under pressure from the smoking ban, cheap beer in the retail trade and the financial crisis, Chairman Tim Martin can boast increasing profits. He spoke with Bruce Whitehall about his recipe for success.
The Oktoberfest has been held in Munich for 200 years and there are few inventions from Germany, the world champion export nation, that arouse the enthusiasm of more people. With over 6 million visitors every year, the globe's biggest fun fair sets the international standard for more than 3,000 copycat events. We show what makes the original so special and introduce the foodservice players.
In the market-research department of this issue, we take a look at the foodservice and Horeca markets in France and The Netherlands. In both countries, market leader McDonald's has been able not only to increase its revenues but also to extend its lead.
The focus of the Middle East section is on Abu Dhabi. Long considered to be a rather nondescript 'cousin' of its glittering neighbours, the financial and property crisis has made the UAE's capital the subject of greater interest – among hotel and restaurant operators, too.
Once again, our pan-European survey takes a magnifying glass to pizza chains in different countries. We begin with the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and Turkey. Given the fierce competition prevailing in the pizza market and crisis battered, price-conscious consumers, most players – and delivery services in particular – are banking on ambitious expansion.
Expansion is also on the agenda for Ping Pong, a young full-service format from London, which specialises in dim sum. Following 12 outlets in the British capital, it is hoped that outposts in Dubai, Washington D.C. and Sao Paolo will make the steamed Asian morsel a branded product in other parts of the world, too.
The fact that Italy produces other interesting F&B concepts apart from pizza is shown yet again by our Concepts to Watch section. Three of the concepts come from there. The others are from further north – specifically from Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and certainly worth a closer look.
But that's not all: design from Italy – the Costa Group links the past with modern ideas. What US companies should take account of when expanding overseas. How equipment manufacturers are bringing sustainability and resource conservation into our kitchens. And, the seven myths of customer service – laid bare by Jim Sullivan.

Q: Updating A List and Re Printing It? I am trying to build a simple game but i'm having trouble updating the list and re printing it any ideas?
I am pulling some details from a txt file and putting them into a list. I print the list and this works.
I do the update using the .replace but when i re print the list it only prints the last item in the list. This has been updated correctly. How can i get it so it prints the whole list again that has been updated?
Any ideas???
Here is my code:
print("Can you solve the puzzle? \nBelow are some words in code form can you crack the code and figue out\nthe words?\n")
words = open ("words.txt", "r")
lines_words = words.readlines()

for line_words in lines_words:
    print (line_words)

words.close()

print("\nHere are some clues to help you!\n")

clues = open ("clues.txt", "r")
print (clues.read())

clues.close()

###

print ("\nThis is what we have so far....")

# define the function
def replace_all(text, dic):
    for i, j in dic.items():
        text = text.replace(i, j)
    return text

# dictionary with key:values.
reps = {'#':'A', '*':'M', '%':'N'}

txt = replace_all(line_words, reps)
print (txt)

A: You are making two mistakes:

*

*You reuse the line_words name in your for loop:
for line_words in lines_words:
    print (line_words)

This replaces the old value (a list) with each line in the list, in turn. After the last iteration that means line_words has been replaced by the last line.
Use a different name for in the loop:
for line in lines_words:
    print (line)

*You'll need to use another loop to replace text in the lines:
for line in line_words:
    txt = replace_all(line, reps)
    print (txt)

This will obscure your words just for printing, in the iteration, and not alter the original strings contained in line_words.


On behalf of Cofiño Trial Law posted in Car Accidents on Friday, April 19, 2013.
Texting while driving has been touted as the most dangerous behavior behind the wheel. However, a new study shows that drivers should be just as worried about daydreaming while driving. In fact, the study reported that daydreaming and driving can be more dangerous than texting while driving.
Erie Insurance Group conducted the study and reported that drivers who daydream and don't concentrate on the road are five times more dangerous on the road compared to drivers who use their cellphones while driving.
The study's results are somewhat surprising since texting while driving has been in the news so often. While these findings don't downplay the risks of texting while driving, it does show that drivers need to be aware of other dangerous behaviors, like daydreaming, that can significantly increase the risk of being in a car accident.
The study found that 62 percent of distracted driving accidents were blamed on a driver who was daydreaming, while 12 percent of distracted driving accidents were caused by drivers who were using cellphones.
While more accidents appear to be caused by daydreaming, texting while driving is prohibited and it is much easier to prove that a driver who caused the accident was using his or her cellphone compared to trying to prove that the driver was daydreaming.
Victims of distracted driving car accidents can pursue legal action against the negligent person responsible for the accident. While it may be difficult to prove that distractions led to the accident, it may be worthwhile to pursue in a liability lawsuit.

Q: How is.integer() works in R I have a data frame of numerics,integers and string. I would like to check which columns are integers and I do
raw<-read.csv('./rawcorpus.csv',head=F)
ints<-sapply(raw,is.integer)

anyway this gives me all false. So I have to make a little change
nums<-sapply(raw,is.numeric)
ints2<-sapply(raw[,nums],function(col){return(!(sum(col%%1)==0))})

The second case works fine. My question is: what is actually checking the 'is.integer' function?

A: By default, R will store all numbers as double precision floating points, i.e., the numeric. Three useful functions class, typeof and storage.mode will tell you how a value is stored. Try:
x <- 1
class(x)
typeof(x)
storage.mode(x)

If you want x to be integer 1, you should do with suffix "L"
x <- 1L
class(x)
typeof(x)
storage.mode(x)

Or, you can cast numeric to integers by:
x <- as.integer(1)
class(x)
typeof(x)
storage.mode(x)

The is.integer function checks whether the storage mode is integer or not. Compare
is.integer(1)
is.integer(1L)

You should be aware that some functions actually return numeric, even if you expect it to return integer. These include round, floor, ceiling, and mod operator %%.

A: From R documentation:
is.integer(x) does not test if x contains integer numbers! For that, use round, as in the function is.wholenumber(x) in the examples.
So in is.integer(x), x must be a vector and if that contains integer numbers, you will get true. In your first example, argument is a number, not a vector
Hope that helps

Mummy what can I say to make you happy?
I love you with all my heart".
This was how my 4 year old handled me during a bad day with post natal depression last week. At the time I was crying, sad, couldn't get up from the sofa. I was so lethargic. Anything and everything was making me upset and I had no strength or motivation in me. My husband's attempts at helping me failed. Everything was failing. Then Eva came along and uttered those words. As she stroked my face and cuddled me, I realised what an impact my illness was having on my children.
I felt awful. Here was my 4 year old girl who's supposed to be my baby, the one I care for, the one I nurture and protect, looking after me. It's supposed to be the other way around. I am supposed to be the one to tell her everything is going to be ok, to stroke her hair and face and cuddle her until she stops crying.
It was the first time I realised that my illness was having an affect on my girls. It's funny when I sit back and think of it now, there are times when what I would class as bad behaviour, now just seems to be attention seeking or playing up as a direct result of my illness.
I realised that on my deepest darkest days, all the girls have ever wanted from me is love, affection, playfulness and overall my attention.
When you're suffered with PND or any form of depression, decision making becomes overwhelming. This often leads to me being very indecisive or just giving up. This may have been effecting Eva's own decision making and problem solving. When I ask her to do things i'm often met with a response of I don't want to or lots of crying or lots of stalling. Therefore, just mirroring what she has seen me do over the last year and a half.
I've always put her mood swings down to her age but I am now worried that again she is just copying my behaviour. I'd like to think it was an age thing rather than have the guilt of knowing it could be from me.
Seeing how she behaved towards me that day was bittersweet. Part of me was overwhelmed and astounded by how much of a caring, sweet girl Eva had become. I was blown away by how grown up she seemed. However, that is the saddest part about it. She is 4. She shouldn't have to be dealing with things like this. She shouldn't have to take a mother role on.
I know things won't always be like this. In fact the majority of days are now filled with laughter and happiness. But when they're not Eva this is what I want to say to you.
And that it will get better soon."
Aww it definitely shows how mhch your little girl cares about u. Depression is hard and u have to make sure u take care of yourself.
I can't be so hard and feels like things won't change but they do. I really struggled with my first and it took a good two years before things become right again but it does in the end and kids are so resilient and Eva knows how much you love her!
Aww how sweet are her little words. Take care of yourself.
There will be a light at the end of the tunnel. Sending lots of love.
I have never dealt with PND myself but I am sending you lots of virtual hugs. It sounds tough going. You have got a little sweetheart.
I'm so sorry to hear your havng such an awful time of it with PND. I think your words for Eva at the end are absolutely perfect, so uplifting. You might be in a dark place but you have light in you!
Eva sounds like such a lovely and caring little girl. You are doing an amazing job obviously.
I do understand this. I love your poetry and I think it's really brave to speak out about this subject for sharing.
What a lovely post. Your daughter sounds very caring.
A very personal and moving post. How beautiful your daughter's words are. You are a wonderful Mother, and there is the proof.
It does get easier, I promise you. But I know those words aren't the biggest help. Keep those good days to mind, and remind yourself that you're allowed to have your down moments, you're allowed to need time, and please don't feel guilty on any level for having to go through this.
Such a beautiful and brave post darling - just remember whatever happens you are all the mum your daughter needs.
How lovely that you have a record of this so that when your little girl is older she can look back and read your account. That's very precious.
That's beautiful! And say those words to her, it will mean so much.

One thing I can't believe
posted 11 years ago by Kammurabi
*Spoiler, but not really*
Jean drops Maria Casares and falls in love with Agnes? I have nothing against Agnes, she's cute, but this takes some of the realism away for me. I understand it was disguised as a mutual parting and some people really don't realize what they have until it is gone...this certainly has happened to me multiple times. But Jean had time to find that out before marrying Agnes.
Sure Agnes has redeeming qualities and turns out to be a better human being than Helene, but in my opinion it never would have gotten that far to find these things out. I would be back to Maria within a week if she would take me back. It doesn't ring true to me. I choose to interpret it as a manipulation by Helene and some of her energy was transmitted into the set-up romance with Agnes and Jean was propelled by that until he started actually falling for Agnes' more humane qualities at the end.
It makes it more legitimate when I look at it that way.
[–] PoppyTransfusion 7 years ago
What can't you believe exactly? Helene was a cruel woman with a cold heart. The expression of this would have been present in her relationship with Jean and he was ready to let her and this go. By contrast Agnes is authentic but hiding a sordid secret. She was a dancer at heart and this is what Jean probably tuned into. I suspect you are comparing the beauty of the actresses rather than reflecting on the characters and their personality in a relationship.
A bird sings and the mountain's silence deepens.

What an overrated movie. Frankly the plot makes no sense and is unbelievable. Pretentious, nasty French film.
What an overrated movie! Frankly the plot makes no sense and is unbelievable. Pretentious, nasty film. I have never met someone who would act in this way.
[–] Charlot47 7 years ago
The plot may not make sense to you and you may not have met such characters, but why do you think the story was meant to be realistic or the people real?
On the very simplest level, isn't it a conflict between the selfish cruel witch and the innocent maiden, whose pure love in the end wins the prince? The script writer, Jean Cocteau, used such archetypes in his own films like ''Orphée'' and ''La Belle et la Bête''.

Brazilian appeals court suspends Belo Monte dam
August 16, 2012 CounterVortex
A group of judges from Brazil's Regional Federal Tribunal (TRF1) suspended construction of the Belo Monte dam project on the Amazon's Xingu River Aug. 14, finding that indigenous people had not been properly consulted prior to approval of the project. The ruling upheld an earlier decision that declared the Brazilian Congress' authorization of the project in 2005 to be unconstitutional. The decision finds that the Brazilian constitution and ILO Convention 169, to which Brazil is party, require that Congress can only authorize the use of water resources for hydroelectric projects after an independent assessment of environmental impacts and subsequent consultations with affected indigenous peoples.
The ruling means the Brazilian Congress will have to correct its previous lapse by organizing consultations on the project's impacts with affected indigenous peoples of the Xingu River, especially the Juruna, Arara and Xikrin tribes. In the decision, Judge Souza Prudente ordered that the Brazilian government must consult with native communities before any further construction on the dam proceeds. Norte Energia, the company responsible for building the dam, can appeal the decision to either the Brazil Supreme Court or the Superior Court of Justice. If completed, the 11 million megawatt Belo Monte dam would be the third largest hydroelectric dam in the world, behind Three Gorges Dam in China, and Itaipu Dam, which is run by Brazil and Paraguay.

Senior police official killed in targeted Quetta attack
Senior officer Hamid Shakil and his driver were killed in latest attack to hit restive province of Balochistan.

Asad Hashim
Islamabad, Pakistan – A roadside bomb explosion in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta has killed at least two police personnel, including a senior police officer, authorities say, the latest in a series of attacks on police in the restive province of Balochistan.
Senior officer Hamid Shakil and his driver were killed, while at least three others were wounded, in the explosion on Thursday morning, which targeted Shakil's vehicle, Quetta police chief Abdul Razzaq Cheema told Al Jazeera.
Local police official Naimatullah confirmed the death toll, although he said it was not immediately clear whether the explosion was caused by a roadside IED or a suicide attacker.
"He was going from his home in Chaman Housing Scheme [area of the city] to his office when the blast occurred," said Naimatullah, who goes by only one name.
Shakil was serving as a Deputy Inspector General (DIG), the second highest rank in the provincial police force.
Images from the scene showed the mangled remains of his pick-up truck, the front and passenger side of the vehicle appearing to have borne the brunt of the blast.
Series of attacks
The explosion took place in the heart of the provincial capital of Balochistan, which has seen a series of attacks on police personnel and others in recent days.
On October 18, seven police officers were killed and 22 wounded when their vehicle was targeted in a roadside suicide bombing in the Saryab road area of Quetta.
Earlier in October, five people were killed in an attack aimed at the city's sizeable Hazara Shia Muslim community.
Days earlier, a suicide bomber killed at least 18 people at a shrine in the town of Jhal Magsi, about 165km south of Quetta.
Balochistan has been at the centre of attacks by both armed religious groups such as the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (also known as the Pakistani Taliban) and armed ethnic Baloch separatists fighting for independence from Pakistan.
Increasingly, it has come under fire from local affiliates of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group, such as the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi's Al-Alami faction.
The province has also been at the centre of much of the transport infrastructure development related to the $56bn China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a trade corridor linking southwestern China to the Arabian Sea through Pakistan that culminates in the Gwadar port in southern Balochistan.
Baloch separatist fighters have often claimed responsibility for attacks on security and police personnel deployed to protect construction projects along the corridor.

Who would you replace Granderson with? What about Blalock? Is your league LF/CF/RF or 3 OF?
I did the deal without Granderson and Blalock. I couldn't justify making Wilkerson my starter in CF and Blalock a bench player.
This way, even if Granderson is worse than Blalock this year (and I sincerely hope he's not), I still end up with 2 choices at CF. Possibly, as the year progresses, Wilkerson will rise and pass a sliding Granderson; I'd rather have two guys doing great, but this does cover my risks.
I have Fielder and Delgado for my utility slots, and so Blalock was not playing there. And Wright starts at 3B.
My pitching is getting better. Now, I have Zumaya, Duaner Sanchez, Street, Gagne (DL), Cotts, Soriano, and now F-Rod in a league in which I can start 5 relievers daily, and relievers are crucial (a lot of rate stats, only a 20 IP minimum each week, no saves or wins).

HomeDon't miss
New Year's Resolutions are a hot topic right now with everyone wanting to make the most out of 2023. After the excesses typical of the festive season, instead of going back to the usual daily routine, why not try one of Garden Re-Leaf's ultra-challenges and work towards something meaningful and raise money for a worthy cause in the process?
Garden Re-Leaf Day is the annual FUNdraising event for Greenfingers Charity, which this year takes place on Friday 24th March 2023, to help raise vital funds for the charity whilst also kickstarting the garden retailing season.
Plantathons
The annual Plantathons are making a comeback this year and are the ultimate gardening marathon. Can your garden centre staff endure 12 hours of soil filling, planting, watering and feeding to create the best spring container to sell to your customers?
The staff at Squire's Garden Centres were joined by celebrity gardener, Charlie Dimmock, potting over 500 lovely, bright and cheerful spring plants for Garden Re-Leaf and Woking store's opening weekend. Klondyke has also held 12-hour Plantathons in its stores with the sales of potted containers donated to Greenfingers. Orchard Park went the extra mile and went for a staggering 24 hours to raise money from their planter displays!
Other Plantathon efforts were nothing short of extraordinary with Hillview Group's then-11 stores planting spring and summer tubs for an amazing 24 hours. Hillview continued planting in years to come with 101 plants in 1,111 containers in 12 hours in 2017.
We are looking for garden centres, both big and small, to plant from dawn to dusk and have brilliant fun with this challenge. We are also on the hunt for suppliers to provide both plants, compost and containers for the Plantathons. Previous events have seen companies support the Plantathons around the country by supplying labels, pots, plants and compost to create bright spring colours for Garden Re-Leaf. – Not only will happy shoppers take home a beautiful spring floral container but the sundries that you provide can be upsold with the money being donated to Greenfingers.
FUNdraising Founder
One person who is no stranger to Garden Re-Leaf challenges is Boyd, now of British Garden Centres. The impact that Boyd has had on the fundraising day since its inception is unrivalled. A former Trustee, now an Honorary Member of Greenfingers Charity, it was July 2011 when Boyd announced the inaugural Garden Re-Leaf Day to the trade at the GIMA Awards, followed by a consumer launch by Alan Titchmarsh at the Garden Media Guild Awards in London.
Boyd had one mission in his mind, to unite the industry at the start of the year with its answer to Comic Relief and Sports Relief and raise vital funds for Greenfingers to enable them to build magical outdoor gardens and spaces for children's hospices. Taking place in March every year, Garden Re-Leaf is also a fun but valuable team-building opportunity for retailers and entices customers into stores earlier to extend the peak Spring season.
Boyd's challenges
His first ultra-challenge was in 2014 when he ran, rowed and rode his way through 240 miles with his Hillview team. Using the Kettler gym equipment that they had in store, Boyd pushed himself to the limit and conquered the distance in just under six hours.
In 2016, Boyd's green fingers were tested when he set himself the challenge of a 24-hour plantathon and raising £1 for each minute of the 24 hours. He was also one of the 100 walkers who took part in the 20-mile walk through Cambridgeshire, which took in Horningsea, Cambridge and finished at Scotsdales Garden Centre in Great Shelford.
Garden Re-Leaf was also taken down under when Boyd spoke at the annual Garden Centres of Australia Conferences in Melbourne and Sydney in 2013. So far over £200,000 has been raised for Beyond Blue, which provides mental health information and support to help everyone in Australia.
And who can forget when Boyd went Green for Greenfingers and sported a rather fetching bright green barnet for the occasion?
In 2021, Boyd undertook his biggest challenge yet – walking 100km in a day from the British Garden Centres office in Brigg to its Harrogate store on a cross trainer! If that wasn't enough, the same year saw Boyd taking on the challenge of wearing 25 Christmas jumpers over 25 days to raise funds for the Greenfingers.
He said: "Greenfingers is a charity that does exceptional work with children's hospices and is very closely linked to the garden trade. I believe people in our industry want to give and they needed a flagship event to make it easy for them to do so. This is how Garden Re-Leaf came into being and without you, we wouldn't have raised anywhere near £800,000 so we are very grateful.
"I set myself these ultra-challenges to test both my mental and physical limits. The challenges I have done are nowhere near the challenge the hospice children and their families face every day and that is my motivation. Doing these challenges makes me feel fulfilled, and I enjoy the social side that Garden Re-Leaf brings every year.
The unbounded effort and hard work the industry put into and then staging all its fund-raising events is staggering but we can still do more."
Linda Petrons, Director of Communications at Greenfingers Charity said: "Without people like Boyd and fundraisers within the industry, we simply could not do what we do. So many industry friends have raised a phenomenal amount of money and the commitment to the charity shown by the stores and suppliers is extraordinary and we never take it for granted."

Registration for the 2023 event is now live, and Greenfingers is also on the lookout for sponsors for the event. To find out more please contact Linda Petrons by emailing linda@greenfingerscharity.org.uk
FUNdraising ideas for Garden Re-Leaf Day 2023
Here are just a few ways you can get involved and help Greenfingers to continue creating magical gardens in children's hospices across the nation:
Why not hold a 12-hour exercise challenge or a quiz in your café? You could also hold a raffle, cake, or book sale, or maybe host a car wash in your car park.

Former Nazi labor camp guard living in NYC is deported to Germany
Posted 11:31 am, August 21, 2018, by CNN Wires, Updated at 11:30AM, August 21, 2018
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. - A former Nazi labor camp guard who has been living in the United States for decades has finally been deported to Germany after years of diplomatic wrangling, the White House announced on Tuesday.
Jakiw Palij, who worked as a guard at the Trawniki Labor Camp, in what was then German-occupied Poland, had been living out his post-war years in Queens, New York City.
Palij, 95, was born in what was then-Poland and now Ukraine, and immigrated to the US in 1949, becoming a citizen in 1957. The former Nazi guard lied to US immigration officials about his role in World War II, saying he worked on a farm and in a factory, the White House said in a statement.
In 2001, Palij admitted to US Department of Justice officials that he had in fact trained and worked at the Trawniki Labor Camp in 1943. On November 3, 1943, around 6,000 Jewish prisoners at the camp were shot to death in one of the single largest massacres of the Holocaust, according to the White House statement.
"By serving as an armed guard at the Trawniki Labor Camp and preventing the escape of Jewish prisoners during his Nazi service, Palij played an indispensable role in ensuring that the Trawniki Jewish victims met their horrific fate at the hands of the Nazis," the White House added.
In court filings, Palij has denied wrongdoing, claiming that he and other young men in his Polish hometown were coerced into working for the Nazi occupiers.
In 2003, Palij's US citizenship was revoked. The following year, a federal judge ordered that Palij be deported -- but none of the European countries to which he could have been sent, would take him.
It had been believed that Palij would quietly live out his last years in a modest red-brick duplex in Jackson Heights, a diverse neighborhood of Queens.
But in a statement on Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions praised the work of the Justice Department's best-known Nazi hunter, Eli Rosenbaum, and his team in successfully removing the 68th Nazi from the United States.
Palij's case represents the closing of an era -- until now he was the only remaining active case from the Nazi era pursued by the Justice Department's Office of Human Rights and Special Prosecutions.
The atrocities of the Trawniki camp, where Palij worked, aren't well known in part because the killing was thorough, historians say. One document researchers uncovered helped illustrate the extent of the killing. A soldier broke the butt of his rifle, which meant he was required to file a report so the German SS would issue him a new one. The report mentioned an operation that killed 4,000 people at Trawniki, mostly Jews.

One of my most favorite and easy go-to recipes is this crockpot rotisserie chicken recipe. I had heard that it was pretty simple to make your own in a slow cooker, but I wanted to see for myself.
Once you get the swing of this recipe, you can assemble it in the slow cooker in under 10 minutes. Either I'll allow it to cook overnight while we sleep or during the day so that it's ready for dinner.
Don't be surprised if your entire slow cooker is filled to the brim with the juices from the chicken!
I taught this recipe to a cooking class and the participants were highly skeptical that the chicken would turn out super tender. Boy, were they surprised! The crockpot rotisserie chicken was nearly falling off of the bone and super delicious.
I'll typically use the juices to cook rice with (so that it tastes wonderful too) or freeze for another time when I have plenty of vegetables to sauté. This recipe also pairs well with my sweet potato fries or stuffed acorn squash.
While it might not seem like that big of a deal to some, it's pretty important to source meat products such as chicken from organic sources.
If you can chicken from a local farmer who allows them to roam freely, even better. The reality is that chickens raised by industrial companies live in conditions that aren't good for their health.
By the way, chickens are not vegetarians.
Ideally, your raw chicken should not be labeled "vegetarian fed" because it may indicate that the bird was not allowed outdoors. It's best to look for pastured chickens.
They typically will eat grubs and other insects freely. And they'll have their diets supplemented with some corn (preferably non-GMO), other grains, and ingredients necessary to be healthy throughout their life before heading to slaughter.
This would usually be a day or so before the item's sell-by date. It's a great time to pick up whole birds or chicken pieces which can be used immediately or frozen for later.
I talk frequently how to purchase better quality meat for less in The Savvy Gluten-Free Shopper because ultimately it's more nutritious and raised ethically.
I highly recommend this crockpot rotisserie chicken recipe to all of my clients and always get rave reviews after they give it a go.
I promise that you'll love this because the spicing isn't over-the-top. Many of the recipes I initially tried from various websites were under-spiced and very bland. I took the experiences of what seemed to work (and what didn't) and eventually created this favorite.
You'll see that you can use either white or black pepper. White pepper has a slightly different taste but makes the chicken equally delicious.
And I've also swapped out the paprika for smoked paprika. This has added a nice smoky flavor to the chicken and the carrots once cooked.
Any way that you choose to make this crockpot rotisserie chicken recipe, I know you'll love it just as much as I do. Enjoy!
This to-die-for, super moist crock pot rotisserie chicken recipe is a favorite. It's easy to make and tastes amazing. Plus you're left with the delicious juices and carrots that can help support the rest of your meals with an added dose of yum!
Turn your crock pot on to low and dump in the entire bag of baby carrots. Even out the layer to cover the bottom.
Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme in a bowl and mix with a fork or spoon.
Remove any contents left inside the chicken (ie. the liver and anything else by the store or your farmer).
Place the chicken on a big plate and rub it down with olive oil (you can also use duck fat or ghee if you'd like). Starting with the chicken with it's back facing up, sprinkle on about half of the seasonings and then rub in with your hands.
Flip the chicken over, stuff the cavity with the onion and bay leaf, and then sprinkle on about two-thirds of the spices that are left. Again, rub them into the chicken skin so that it's evenly coated.
Place chicken breast-side up inside the crock pot. Sprinkle on the last bit of spices evenly. Cover the container with the lid and allow the crock pot to cook undisturbed for 8 to 10 hours.
When the chicken is cooked, remove it and the carrots from the liquid that's been produced. Be careful as the chicken will be so tender that it will probably want to completely fall apart. Discard the onion and bay leaf.
Store the liquid in an airtight container in the fridge. Once it has cooked, you can skim off the fat to cook with (only if the chicken is organic would you use the fat). You can use the juices to cook grains or other vegetables. If you need to save it for later, you can freeze it.
Enjoy the chicken as part of traditional meals or added to salads!
The added oil/fat isn't necessary for the chicken to come out correctly. I've made it without the added olive oil as I had run out and it came out just as good.
I assume with the cook time of 8-10 hours, that your crockpot is set to Low? Please confirm. Thank you for the recipe! Looks simple and delicious!
I'm wondering about the skin. Does it come out of the crock pot looking like the photo above or did it go under the broiler for a minute or 2 ?
So no. The skin will be completely covered in spices so it will be soft and you can easily peel it off. While I totally love crisp chicken skin, the meat is so tender than you won't really miss not have crisp skin. Plus, the chicken will be apt to fall apart as you carefully remove it from the crockpot due to it being so tender. I'll try to add another picture of what I've snapped on my phone after making it to the post. While I typically take my own pics for recipes, I was just very short on time this week and wanted to get a recipe up to share.
I made this chicken tonight and it came out amazing. I mashed the carrots and they were fantastic too! My husband doesn't care for carrots as a rule, but he loved the whole meal. Saved the broth and I'm planning on using it on another recipe as suggested. Thanks for the great meal!
This was fantastic and so easy! I had to leave out the paprika because I found I didn't have any in the pantry but the spicing was still very good. Fell off the bones so easily and I had to keep myself from eating more as I was taking it apart! I'm going to use the bones and the juices to make stock tomorrow.
I just came across this recipe. It looks simple enough for me:) How many pounds was the chicken and did you use a pound size bag of carrots? And a standard size crock pot will work? So many questions, lol!
Hi Slim! Great questions… so I just used a chicken based on the size that would fit in my crockpot. I didn't consider how many pounds it was. And I used an 16oz bag. Sometimes I've got to kind of play with the carrots and chicken so that it will all fit and shift them around. I don't have a large crockpot… just a more standard size, so really it's based on the size of your crockpot. Does that make sense?
Made this chicken tonight, it was delicious! The skin was crispy and flavorful, the chicken was moist and tender. My husband couldn't believe I made it in the crockpot. Will definitely make this again!
Thanks so so much for sharing your experience, Marie!!! I've had so many people share with me the exact same sentiment… it's just such an easy and delicious recipe. Just so you know… you can save the liquid and use it to cook rice. If you're not ready to use it immediately, you can freeze it until you're ready.
