Captivating and heart-breaking, grim reality stares back at us with the eyes of a child. Cary Fukunaga helms this important feature with Terrence Mallick meets Francis Ford Coppola style and camerawork. Young rising talent, Abraham Attah, leads the way as an abandoned boy forced into war. Idris Elba portrays his corrupter – a soldier with a child army.
The story reminds me of Stanley Kubrick's FULL METAL JACKET. The film demonstrates how innocence is broken, twisted, and mangled so that these boys can become lethal fighting machines. Elba is the dominant presence that commands these children to war. However, Attah deserves all the Award hype and an Oscar nomination for his transformation. We see him arc from the playfulness of bartering a broken television, to a lost and devoid soldier wandering the battlefield.
While Elba is good in his role, his character's story twists into cliched and tired territory, ultimately losing the wind in the sails. When we meet his soldier character, we are uncertain of his motives. We don't know if he's a rebel, or a warlord? That said, there is a redeeming scene towards the end when Elba's character hopes for a promotion, failing to see the false propaganda aimed at himself.
The real highlight of BEASTS OF NO NATION is the cinematography. The movie is separated into "visual chapters" of sorts. The best being the shift to a weighted red and purple palette during a psychedelic horror show in the trenches. This steadicam sequence really felt like APOCALYPSE NOW. The audience nearly expects Colonel Kurtz to be leading this camp. While young Attah's character is on drugs, you almost get the impression that their environment has twisted into an alternate reality without any aid of a hallucinogen. The strange colours definitely help demonstrate the young soldier's descent into madness.
BEASTS OF NATION is a bold Netflix original. Controversy surrounded its same-day release in theaters and on the streaming service. However, this film was seen by many more people than would risk a ticket purchase on a character-piece filled with social commentary. Certain small independent features should benefit from Netflix Studios. With an important message, the value of this progressive release strategy definitely pays off.
Surely, the director wanted this project to be seen by as many people as possible. A studio like Netflix affords filmmakers this benefit.
Despite an uneven 2nd and 3rd act, the first few establishing chapters are mesmerizing. Overall, BEASTS OF NO NATION is definitely worth watching.

I think this movie would break my heart. The thought of kids taken away from innocence it's too sad for me.
You're right, Paola. The subject matter in itself is disturbing. However, it's worth seeing how this one child dealt with the situation and all of the obstacles. For me, it adds some understanding to a conflict I can't comprehend from the safety of my own childhood in safety.
Thanks, James. I remember really enjoying your analysis in earlier review, as well. That whole sequence in the trenches was just one example of great cinematography. The film is beautifully framed and lit throughout isn't it. Thanks for commenting, buddy.

Charlotte Taylor Wins 10,000m to Make History for University of San Francisco at NCAAs
2017 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships
View LetsRun.com Event Coverage
By LetsRun.com
EUGENE, Ore. — Almost six miles of running in Thursday's 10,000-meter final at the 2017 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships had done nothing to separate the lead trio of Charlotte Taylor of the University of San Francisco, Alice Wright of New Mexico and Sharon Lokedi of Kansas. That all changed on the final lap however, as Taylor burst to the lead just after the bell and sprinted her way to become the first University of San Francisco's athlete to win an NCAA track & field title, closing out a spectacular 32:38.57 victory with a 68.09 last 400.
Wright, the New Mexico junior who finished second a year ago to Arkansas' Dominique Scott, had to settle for runner-up honors once again in 32:42.64 after leading 12 laps of the race, while Lokedi of Kansas took third in 32:46.10. Notre Dame's Anna Rohrer, the NCAA leader and pre-race favorite, could only manage 16th place as she revealed after the race she has been dealing with a herniated disc for the last two months.

Charlotte Taylor NCAA Champion
Rohrer gave it a brave effort and led during the early stages, but she could not create the same separation as in the indoor 5,000 (where she was 3rd). Once Wright took over just before three miles and dropped the pace, Rohrer's legs could not go any faster and she would steadily fade down the field. Up front, a breakaway group quickly formed, and though Montana State's Alyssa Snyder would run with them for a mile, Taylor and Lokedi were the only women who could hold on to Wright's steady string of 78's and 79's. By 8k (26:17.16), those three were well under 33:00 pace and well clear of the field.
Then it became a waiting game. Could Wright drop Taylor and Lokedi before the bell? And if not, did she have anything left for a kick?
The answers to those two questions were: "no" and "not enough."
Though Wright did drop the pace slightly over the final mile, she couldn't run faster than a 78 and that wasn't going to be enough to drop the others. That meant that it would come down to the final 400, and there was no question who was best over that span as Taylor squeezed by Wright on the inside just before the bell and opened up a gap of 10 meters by the end of the first turn. Though Wright did her best to stem the bleeding, she could not do enough as Taylor was simply too good over the final lap, producing the only sub-70 lap by any athlete in the entire race (68.09). Wright was second again, making it a 1-2 finish for Brits (coupled with Marc Scott's win in the men's race last night, Brits swept the 10k in Eugene) as Lokedi took third, moving up three places from last year.

Wright Leading Lokedi and Taylor
Quick Take #1: Charlotte Taylor makes history for San Francisco
Taylor led the Dons to an unexpected sixth-place finish at NCAA XC in the fall and made more history tonight by becoming USF's first NCAA track & field champion. She felt that the race suited her well as it was fast enough to burn off the pretenders (Taylor had the #2 time in the field, behind the hobbled Rohrer) but slow enough to allow her to use her kick.
Surprisingly, Taylor didn't qualify for NCAAs in the 5k despite running the fastest time in the country this year (15:29) but she bounced back from that disappointment at regionals to win tonight. Taylor said that she felt so strong that she was getting anxious waiting to make her move.
"We talked about just being patient [before the race]," Taylor said. "I was feeling so good that that was difficult at stages. I didn't know when I should make my move but I stuck to the plan and it paid off."
This was a big win for USF as before tonight, the Dons had only ever had one All-American in track & field — Jana Soethout in the 10k in 2014 was 8th.
Taylor does have the World Champs standard, but she didn't run the British Trials, so she missed out on automatic selection for Worlds. But right now, only the winner of that race, Beth Potter, has been selected. Taylor is one of five other Brits with the time competing for two spots, so she'll have to see if she gets lucky — if she even wants to run. She said that she hasn't decided yet about whether she'll keep racing this summer.
Quick Take #2: Unlike last year, Alice Wright was not happy to finish second
Wright was pleased to take second as a sophomore last year to Dominique Scott, but with Scott graduating, she was hoping to take her place as champion in 2017 and that didn't happen. Wright employed the same tactics as last year, forcing the pace, and it looked to be working even better than in 2016. Last year, she hit 8k in 26:26 and there were eight women in the lead pack; this year, she came through in 26:17 but there were only two women directly behind her.
Unfortunately for Wright, the end result was the same, but once again, the champion is graduating. Wright will have one more crack at the win in 2018, but may have to deal with a healthy Anna Rohrer in that one.
Wright and Taylor are both Brits, and they've been racing each other for years as Wright recalled a matchup between the two back in the UK in 2010. Taylor also said they were roommates at last year's Euro XC champs, where they helped Great Britain to team gold in the U23 race (Wright was 3rd, Taylor 4th).
Sharon Lokedi Contends for Win, Settles for PR and 3rd
Sharon Lokedi has had success at NCAAs before (sixth at NCAAs indoor and outdoors last year), but never contended for a win like she did today. She ended up coming up short of the win, but getting a nice consolation prize a PR in 32:46.10 (32:49 from last year was her old PR).
She said, "I'm happy. So pleased. It's my pr. It's what I hoped for [a good run], even though it's not what I wanted [the win]."
Lokedi now has some free-time in Eugene to spend with her boyfriend, Edward Cheserek, the Oregon star.
Dreams Become Reality: Alyssa Snyder Runs Back to Back 5000m PRs to place 4th
A big props to Alyssa Snyder of Montana State, who came in with a 16:32.56 5000m PR and ended up running 32:58.31 for 4th in the 10,000m.
We didn't get Alyssa's 5k split but extrapolating from her 4800m (15:51.32) and 5200m (17:08.52) splits, she likely hit 5000 at 16:29.9 which means she ran back-to-back 5000m prs.
It doesn't get much better than that.
Snyder has improved a ton as she ran 17:10 and 37:22 last year.
Discussion of Alyssa's amazing run here.

Anna Rohrer, The Bravest 16th Place Finisher
Rohrer, the two-time Foot Locker national high school XC champion who came in with the fastest time in the nation (the 31:58.99 she ran at Stanford Invite), was most definitely the bravest finisher today as she revealed after the race she's been dealing with a herniated disc for much of the outdoor season.
Pausing a few times to hold back tears in the mixed zone, Rohrer said she's had two epidurals to help her relieve the back pain, and that her back has been feeling better lately, but she has trouble running fast as her circulation has suffered and she "can't move my legs as well."
Once Rohrer's doctors told her she would not make her back worse by running, she decided to try to run at nationals. She said her attitude was "I'm going to here. I'm going to hope for the best. I'm going to try," adding "I know I'm in good enough shape to run up there but my body won't let me."
Eleven laps into today's race, Rohrer said, "It was just a struggle to pick up my legs. I felt like I was going to fall." Her coach told her she could drop out, but she persevered on. "I am happy that I went ahead and finished because I'm not a person to ever give up," she said after fighting back tears.
Now Rohrer's body needs some rest so her body can heal. She will be allowed to cross train, but won't be able to run. Rohrer said she's "Looking forward to resting up so I can prove what I'm capable of during cross-country."

Celebrities can sell anything from cars to clothing, and we are constantly fascinated by their influence over our lifestyle choices.
This book makes an important contribution to legal scholarship about the laws governing the commercial appropriation of fame.
Exploring the right of publicity in the US and the passing off action in the UK and Australia, David Tan demonstrates how an appreciation of the production, circulation and consumption of fame can be incorporated into a pragmatic framework to further the understanding of the laws protecting the commercial value of the celebrity personality.
Using contemporary examples such as social media and appropriation art, Tan shows how present challenges for the law may be addressed using this cultural framework.
This book will be of interest to intellectual property law academics, judges, practitioners and students in the US and common law jurisdictions, as well as those in the field of cultural studies.

The 1984 United States presidential election in Utah took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. State voters chose five electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president of the United States. Utah was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California, who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with incumbent Vice President and former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas, and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, the first major female candidate for the vice presidency.

The presidential election of 1984 was a very partisan election for Utah, with just under 99% of the electorate voting for either the Democratic or Republican parties, though several other parties appeared on the ballot. Reagan posted the highest vote share of any nominee in the state since William Jennings Bryan in 1896, and carried every county in the state. Reagan's best county was Box Elder County, although he broke 80% in 15 counties. Mondale's best county was Carbon County, the only one in which he managed to hold Reagan to a plurality, rather than a majority, win. Mondale did make gains vis-à-vis Jimmy Carter of over ten percent in eastern Daggett County and San Juan County, probably related to a general trend in this election of Native American voters towards Mondale. The highly populated Salt Lake County contributed about half of the Democratic votes produced by Utah, but still was won decisively by Reagan by 40 points, in what was, overall, a very solid statewide victory.

Reagan won a resounding 50-point landslide victory in Utah, his strongest victory in the nation both by vote share and by margin. For the third election in a row, Utah gave the Republican nominee his highest vote share in the nation, a trend that began in 1976 and would continue unbroken through 1988, and intermittently through 2012. Reagan's strength in Utah was part of a broader phenomenon of the growing importance of the Mountain West as a Republican base; this region had been a swing region for the sixty years following James Weaver's Populist run in 1892, solidly backing William Jennings Bryan in his narrow 1896 defeat as well as Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman in their narrow 1916 and 1948 wins, respectively. The Mountain West began trending Republican in close elections in 1960, however, when Nixon carried all but two states in the region (New Mexico and Nevada). Jimmy Carter's presidency accelerated the trend, with his administration's policies on water and energy being widely perceived as a 'war on the West.' In 1980, Carter underperformed even his low national percentage throughout the West. Reagan's popularity in the West increased in 1984; no Republican nominee has received such strong support in the Mountain West as Reagan did.

Reagan also enjoyed high levels of bipartisan support during the 1984 presidential election, both in Utah, and across the nation at large. Many registered Democrats who voted for Reagan (Reagan Democrats) stated that they had chosen to do so because they associated him with the economic recovery, because of his strong stance on national security issues with Russia, and because they considered the Democrats as "supporting American poor and minorities at the expense of the middle class."  These public opinion factors contributed to Reagan's 1984 landslide victory, in Utah and elsewhere. No subsequent Republican nominee has matched Reagan's 74% win.

At 74.50%, Reagan won Utah with the highest percentage of the vote in any state from the presidential elections since 1984, although fellow Republican Mitt Romney did come close to surpassing that margin when he won this state with 72.62% in 2012. Despite his high margin, at a victory margin of 49.82%, he won the state by a slightly reduced margin than in 1980, when he won Utah by 52.2%. Mondale improved on Jimmy Carter's 1980 margins by over 10% in Daggett County and San Juan County, as well as improving slightly in Morgan County. Reagan improved in Iron County, Garfield County, Piute County, Wayne County, Duchesne County, Weber County, and Summit County.

Democratic platform
Walter Mondale accepted the Democratic nomination for presidency after pulling narrowly ahead of Senator Gary Hart of Colorado and Rev. Jesse Jackson of Illinois - his main contenders during what would be a very contentious Democratic primary. During the primary campaign, Mondale was vocal about reduction of government spending, and, in particular, was vocal against heightened military spending on the nuclear arms race against the Soviet Union, which was reaching its peak on both sides in the early 1980s.

Taking a (what was becoming the traditional liberal) stance on the social issues of the day, Mondale advocated for gun control, the right to choose regarding abortion, and strongly opposed the repeal of laws regarding institutionalized prayer in public schools. He also criticized Reagan for what he charged was his economic marginalization of the poor, stating that Reagan's reelection campaign was "a happy talk campaign," not focused on the real issues at hand.

A very significant political move during this election: the Democratic Party nominated Representative Geraldine Ferraro to run with Mondale as Vice-President. Ferraro is the first female candidate to receive such a nomination in United States history. She said in an interview at the 1984 Democratic National Convention that this action "opened a door which will never be closed again," speaking to the role of women in politics.

Republican platform

By 1984, Reagan was very popular with voters across the nation as the President who saw them out of the economic stagflation of the early and middle 1970's, and into a period of (relative) economic stability.

The economic success seen under Reagan was politically accomplished (principally) in two ways. The first was initiation of deep tax cuts for the wealthy, and the second was a wide-spectrum of tax cuts for crude oil production and refinement, namely, with the 1980 Windfall profits tax cuts. These policies were augmented with a call for heightened military spending, the cutting of social welfare programs for the poor, and the increasing of taxes on those making less than $50,000 per year. Collectively called "Reaganomics", these economic policies were established through several pieces of legislation passed between 1980 and 1987.

Some of these new policies also arguably curbed several existing tax loopholes, preferences, and exceptions. Reaganomics has (along with legislation passed under presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton) been criticized by many analysts as "setting the stage" for economic troubles in the United States after 2007, such as the Great Recession.

Virtually unopposed during the Republican primaries, Reagan ran on a campaign of furthering his economic policies. Reagan vowed to continue his "war on drugs," passing sweeping legislation after the 1984 election in support of mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession.  Furthermore, taking a (what was becoming the traditional conservative) stance on the social issues of the day, Reagan strongly opposed legislation regarding comprehension of gay marriage, abortion, and (to a lesser extent) environmentalism, regarding the final as simply being bad for business.

The perfect trader: cold and compassionless?
Successful traders tend to have very particular personalities. Good ones are compulsive, methodical, intelligent contrarians. Being a great trader, though, that requires you to leave your heart and compassion at home, so says former hedge fund trader Turney Duff.
In an op-ed for CNBC, Duff opines on the learned ability of taking emotion out of trading – way, way, way out of it. To the point that you equate catastrophe with opportunity.
Duff, who lost his millions to drugs and bad investments, details his maturation, if you will, as a trader. In 1999, he was appalled as colleagues digested the news of the Columbine High School massacre by immediately jumping into a discussion on whether they should go long or short on gun stocks.
A half-decade later, as he became a more seasoned trader, Duff focused every minute of every day looking at ways to unlock opportunities in the market as fear of the SARS virus overtook Asia.
"And by being in front of SARS; we got off to a great start and a very profitable year at Argus Partners," he wrote for CNBC.
Y2K, Hurricane Katrina, the Boston Marathon bombing – they were all opportunities for traders, he says. Duff recalls one unbelievable anecdote where a friend was in Tower 7 when the second plane hit during 9/11. As he ended his phone call to evacuate, his hedge fund client on the other line yelled: "buy oil!" according to Duff.
Emotion, it seems, has no place anywhere near the trading floor.

Die St. Charles' Kirche und Reste der Mauern des King's Yard () sind ein Nationaldenkmal des afrikanischen Staates Sierra Leone. Es befindet sich in Regent nahe Freetown. St. Charles ist das älteste aus Stein gebaute Kirchengebäude Sierra Leones und die drittälteste Steinkirche Afrikas.

Die St.-Charles-Kirche befindet sich im Kings Yard. Kings Yards wurden im ersten Jahrzehnt des 19. Jahrhunderts von der Kolonialverwaltung in allen Dörfern um Freetown eingerichtet; hier fanden die befreiten Sklaven erste Aufnahme, bis sie im Um- und Hinterland angesiedelt werden konnten. Ein Teil der Grenzmauern des Kings Yard in Regent ist heute noch zu erkennen.

Geschichte
Die anglikanische Kirche St. Charles erhielt ihren Namen zu Ehren des  britischen Gouverneurs Charles MacCarthy (1764–1824), der die Ansiedlung befreiter Sklaven in der Gegend um Freetown und den Bau von Kirchen und Schulen entschlossen vorantrieb. Die Kirche in Regent wurde von Reverend William Augustine Bernard Johnson 1816 erbaut, der die 1812 gegründete Gemeinde bis zu seinem Tod 1823 leitete. Die aus befreiten Sklaven unterschiedlichster Herkunft zusammengesetzte Gemeinde wuchs unter seiner Leitung rasch, sodass die Kirche mehrfach erweitert werden musste. Nach Johnsons Tod trat ein Rückgang ein.

The one the Firefox is the correct one. Can you please explain why this is happening ? I have attached the results after the code.

Firefox

Edge

I observed that in CSS selctor .col-2 .link if I add:
.col-2 .link {
  border: 1px solid blue;
  display: flex;
  align-items: end;
  display: -webkit-box;      <------------   *THIS LINE AND*
  -webkit-box-align: end;    <------------   *THIS LINE HERE*
}

Then Edge also makes the webpage same as Firefox.
WHY ARE THE STYLES
display: flex;
align-items: end;

NOT WORKING ON EDGE

A: It boils down to this: align-items: end is supported by Firefox but not Edge.
You still need to use align-items: flex-end for full cross-browser support.

Here's the code block in question:
.col-2 .link {
  border: 1px solid blue;
  display: flex;
  align-items: end;
  display: -webkit-box;
  -webkit-box-align: end;
}

In a declaration block, the cascade will pick the last property, when the property is declared multiple times.
So display: flex is ignored because the cascade will settle on display: -webkit-box.
For cross axis alignment, -webkit-box-align: end works in both Firefox and Edge.

No prefixes are needed. Both Firefox and Edge support Flex Layout.
The problem is actually quite simple to fix, and it has nothing to do with prefixes.

*

*align-items: end is supported by Firefox, but not Edge.

*You still need to use align-items: flex-end for full cross-browser support.

The end value is a feature of the CSS Box Alignment Module, which doesn't yet have full support among the major browsers. So use flex-end, which is the specific value defined in the CSS Flexible Box Layout Module. The "flex-" prefixed values will eventually be obsolete, but are obviously still necessary at this time.

A: Using prefixes will fix your problem.

'Call for Conscience' calls for action against assisted suicide
As the groundwork for a lawsuit is being laid to challenge the right of Catholic health care institutions to opt out of assisted suicide, Ontario's bishops and the Coalition for HealthCARE and Conscience are mounting their second annual Call For Conscience campaign.
Palliative care offers a final healing
Since my return to parish ministry after some years as a hospital priest, I have continued to minister to patients receiving palliative care in hospitals, long-term care facilities and in their own homes.
Published in Estate Planning
Euthanasia should not be available to mental health patients, says CMHA
Mental health patients should not be eligible for assisted suicide, says the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Catholic health workers face crisis of conscience
TORONTO – Dr. Luigi Castagna doesn't think of practicing medicine as a protest movement. But a stalemate over conscience rights for doctors who object to physician-assisted dying may change that.
There is no law
There is a dangerous misconception that because the courts and Parliament have decided people can obtain an assisted suicide, health care institutions therefore have a legal obligation to assess candidates and perform these killings.
Euthanasia is not salvation
One would think, as a teenage girl, suicide should be the very last thing on my mind. But in a recent conversation with my grandfather, I've had reason to reflect on just how much Canadians have changed their perspective on assisted suicide and what a contrast it is to his generation.
Published in YSN: Speaking Out
Court challenges expected against assisted suicide law
Court challenges to Bill C-14 are expected to come from both opponents and supporters of assisted suicide, said Euthanasia Prevention Coalition legal counsel Hugh Scher.
Despite assisted suicide legislation, the battle continues
OTTAWA – As euthanasia and assisted suicide became legal in Canada opponents vowed to continue the fight to protect conscience rights of health-care workers and Catholic institutions and to oppose inevitable court challenges to widen the net of assisted killing.
Euthanasia is a path to nowhere, says Cardinal Collins on Bill C-14's passing
Editor's note: Toronto's Cardinal Thomas Collins has long been a voice in the fight against assisted suicide in Canada. Following the passing of Bill-C-14 to legalize the process, the cardinal released the following statement on the bill's passing.
Senate falls in line with MPs on Bill C-14
OTTAWA – The Senate has voted to accept more restrictive access to assisted suicide.
The prevailing legal vacuum around assisted suicide is unacceptable and begs a speedy end to the head-butting between the elected House of Commons and the unelected Senate — even if that means politicians forgoing summer vacations.
Government rejects Senate's assisted-suicide amendment
OTTAWA – The Liberal government today said it will reject a Senate amendment that would remove the requirement that death be reasonably foreseeable from its assisted suicide bill.
Senate passes amended assisted suicide Bill C-14
OTTAWA – Canada's Senate passed an amended version of euthanasia and assisted suicide Bill C-14 June 15 that is almost certain to face backlash from elected Parliamentarians as it is sent back to the House of Commons.
Senate changes to C-14 'very bad news', opponents charge
OTTAWA – The Senate has put itself on a collision course with the House of Commons after it voted to amend the government's assisted-suicide bill to include people who may not be facing imminent death.
Interfaith leaders call for palliative care strategy
OTTAWA – Catholic, Evangelical, Jewish and Muslim faith leaders united on Parliament Hill June 14 to issue a joint call for a well-funded, quality national palliative care strategy.


Greg Keller and Maria Dizzia. Photo by Sara Krulwich, The New York Times.
I remember reading, as a twenty-something, general consumption reviews of the "capture the zeitgeist" television hour-long dramedy 30something as whiney, self-involved, pampered adult kids who just need to grow up and get a life already. I pushed those evaluations aside at the time because those reviewers were trashing a weekly soap opera with nicely crafted arcs that I loved. Of course I aspired to aspects of the lives portrayed. I was in a midwestern college town in a graduate program that was didn't match my real interests and I looked to these characters who lived in a larger city (points) on the Eastern seaboard (more points), living in lofts or cool houses or rambling apartments, and having complicated and involved lives losing and gaining jobs, deciding to have children, having affairs, getting divorced. Living. Such drama informs but does not frame the two-act, two-apartment, two-couple superficial treatment of postponed adulthood, postponed parenthood, troubled couplehood presented at City Center in Daniel Goldfarb's Cradle and All. Playwright Goldfarb places procreation center stage, and all other life decisions on the periphery, and everything comes out superficially addressed.
On the one side of the hall the older woman (by five key childbearing years — 34 versus 39, that we soon learn has been rounded down) in a five-year connected couple talks around, then addresses dead on the subject of possible parenthood. Claire (Maria Dizzia) was a B-movie actress who then adolescent Luke (Greg Keller) saw on television in her one big (bad) movie, and indulged masturbatory fantasies (yes we hear about them) by meeting her, then bedding her, then coupling with her in a Brooklyn apartment. We don't know what she does for a living now; we do know that he (now in his mid 30s) is working for a rich uncle in the antique business. He doesn't want to move on from their childless state; we and Luke learn in this late night conversation of an old choice she once made (and unbelievable that she never mentioned this fact before) that enhances her desire for a child now. On the other side of the hall in the second act, we are introduced in an identical yet flipped and toy-strewn apartment to Annie (Maria Dizzia again) and Nate (Greg Keller again), parents of a constantly crying 11 month old. These cries attract the childless and traumatize the new parents.
The beautiful apartments, the lovely clothes, the references to one of the partners in each household not working for years (and they're both actors) bring up the old 30something critique for me. Set design by Neil Patel creates a world we'd want to live in. Props capture the different worlds: childless Claire purchases twelve dozen red roses and strews petals around the room for an ill-conceived (and ineffectual) stab at romance; Annie and Nate navigate among their child's belongings and barely tidy the overwhelmingly toy populated apartment across the hall. But when mommy Annie at the end of her rope, after hours of therapist-encouraged "let her cry herself to sleep" advice online, and who is now (I supposed we are to gather) deciding to standing in her own strength and make her own decisions to parent her own way, calls that same therapist a c*nt after an unbelievable set of instructions by the therapist to the parents (don't clean the infant up after she's been sick, show her who's boss and she won't do it again), my sympathies for any of the characters on stage and for the playwright himself finally left the building.

Year Opened-
Naboomspruit has changed it's name to Mookgophong. Mookgophong is considered the epitome of a South African "dorp". It is a charming and thriving town at the foot of the Swaershoek Mountains surrounded by peaceful nature reserves and steaming hot springs. The mellow Bushveld climate and attractive resorts in the area attract many holidaymakers.
The settlement dates back to the late 1800s when it was an outspan area for the Pretoria-Polokwane mail coach. Although a village eventually developed round a railway station on the farm "Naboomspruit" ("naboom" being the Afrikaans name for the massive candelabra tree Euphorbia ingens growing in profusion on the banks of the nearby "spruit"), the town owes its growth to the discovery of minerals in the early 1900s.
The discovery of tin led to a "tin rush" in 1910 and turned this humble village into a pulsating boom town of speakeasies, tents, cabarets and trading stores. A later discovery of platinum added to the development. Tin and fluorspar are still mined here. It also has a thriving farming industry (cattle, maize, tobacco, groundnuts and citrus fruit).
Today Mookgophong is an attractive town with its clean tree-lined streets, while retaining the distinctive charm and atmosphere of being steeped in history. Apart from the numerous holiday resorts that have developed around its hot springs, the area offers something for everybody.
There are numerous trails and opportunities for leisurely walks and hiking tours where lovers of the outdoors can enjoy the unique Bushveld flora of the beautiful Waterberg. Various interesting motor routes can also be followed to explore this exciting district.
Mookgophong boasts a rich variety of game and birds. Nylsvley, close by, is known for its water birds. Rare rhinos form part of the Malatipark game collection. Angling in the Frikkie Geyser Dam is good.

Fixing food that one's spouse does not like is invariably a Catch-22: one is either stuck eating all the leftovers, or one is stuck having to go without a food one likes nearly all the time. I've tried to get around it by fixing likely suspects when we have company, and when I'll have someone besides the spouse to help me consume, but invariably, particularly the first time I make a recipe and don't know how it's going to scale, there are still carloads of leftovers.
I liked the lima bean dip the first, second, third, fourth, and even fifth time. After the sixth, I was getting a little tired of it, but beans are supposed to be very good both for the heart and the memory, not to mention my Scot-Irish frugality prevents me from throwing anything out that is reasonably tasty and hasn't gone bad.
Have been working on reorganizing WG sublistings. The reviews and previews sections are done and up; am still working on the articles sublisting, and have a few other things I want to twiddle around with before all is said and done.
Now I know you need to read the slob sisters! Instead of thinking about how much you lose by throwing it away, take the opposite approach and think about what you gain by Not having it! You gain shelf space in the frigde, the ability to try a new recipe now that the old ones gone, you've learned a valuable lesson in portion size for that item and you have happy memories of the 5 times it tasted good. You're not really losing anything, you ate and enjoyed it already so you didn't waste the time cooking it and the value of the leftovers is pretty small, you can buy a bag of limas for what, a dollar or so? Isn't just having it gone worth the theoretical 60 cents you may lose?
At least with food you have mold to make the final call for you within a few days. You won't ever have the problem with bean dip like some folks have with 10 year old home pregnancy tests and stacks of unread magazines they are waiting to find the time to read! Ignore the bean dip long enough and nature will make sure you don't keep eating it!
I think this is a wonderful attitude, and I'd agree -- that does sound like a book I need to read!
LOL, catching up? I'm glad your fridge is clean. Mine is not but I don't plan to try to eat anything thats down there looking suspicious!
Hee! I'm using this tagging tool to tag entries. It's helping me keep track of posts, so I don't have to dig through five years just to find one thing that I'm looking for.

Q: Changing minimum password length for Azure AD cloud only accounts under Azure ADDS I understand that password policies for cloud-only user accounts in Azure do not allow us to change the minimum length from 8 to 10 based on existing Microsoft documentation.  I also understand that this would be possible for accounts that are synced from an on-premise AD.

We do not have an on premise AD to sync, but we are using Azure Active Directory Domain Services where those cloud-only user accounts are listed. Does the restriction regarding password minimum length still exist for cloud only user accounts even if using Azure Active Directory Domain Services?

Fiddling about ... and a birthday!
It was that kind of weekend. Do you know the type? Where you're fiddling about so much you don't actually manage to get very much of anything done...? Or is that just me?
Despite a few nights with no knitting (NO KNITTING!!!!) I have made some progress on my Chele cardigan - the details can wait until Wednesday's update but those who follow me on Twitter may have seen that there was a bit of 'frogging' on Saturday night *sigh*. I haven't picked it up since then, but need to get back on that pony quickly or I'll lose momentum. It has also come to my attention that the yarn, which photographs really badly, is in fact very similar in colour to Little Miss' favourite treat - I hope she doesn't think I'm a giant chocolate button when I wear it.
And after knitting (and frogging) plain purple, I was desperate for some colour and fell off the "Hexi-break" wagon again last night. So there'll be a another 'Tuesday Tally' on those tomorrow despite my best intentions of having a rest from the Beekeeper's Quilt until after Christmas.
As you may have noticed, I've also been fiddling about here on the blog so there is now more space for pictures, a new page linking to my current favourite blogs which will be regularly updated, a revised 'Hello' page and links to all the different social media in the sidebar (phew - there are a lot, and I still haven't fathomed Google+). I hope you like the changes.
She often jokes that we grew up together, and it's true - she was just 18 when I was born and as my dad was serving in the Royal Navy at the time, and they later divorced, she largely brought me up solo - with the love and support of our family, but alone none-the-less. Looking back now, I realise it can't have been easy for her, but I really had no idea about that at the time. It was a childhood of laughter, fun and lots and lots of love. Despite limitations in her own life - including being profoundly deaf - she brought me up with the knowledge that I could do whatever I wanted and I didn't ever need to be reliant on anyone else (D might not agree this is such a good thing). She's an awesome woman, friend and mother and we all love her so much. Have a lovely evening, Mum.
Thats just beautiful what you wrote about your Mum!! Hope she has a lovely birthday.
That is so lovely! Happy Birthday to your mum!
Happy birthday to your mom. She sounds like a wonderful person. I am deaf in one ear and I tend to isolate myself from others so for her to be so optimistic is inspiring to me.
She's pretty! Hau 'oli la hanau. I know how was to be a single mum before I was blessed with my hubbie. My hat's off to her!
I can go no knitting sometimes...the Kindle and iPhone are distractions.
ahhhh! Happy Birthday to your Awesome Mum!
What a lovely and wonderful Mom you have been blessed with. Your love for her shines in your tribute. Happy Birthday to her.
