February 25, 2019 · by Alex Chafey	· in Blogs.	·
Welcome to the Goblin Awards, like the Oscars but without a host – which this year makes it exactly like the Oscars.
Big Budget – Bad Movie
While there have been many high quality franchise movies in recent years, 2018 may be remembered as the year taste forgot and previously impervious-seeming cash cows ran out of golden milk.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom managed to follow up the wildly successful Jurassic World with a film which was undeniably terrible, with unfettered stupidity from beginning to end.
The confusingly-titled The Predator (AKA Predator 4) dusted off the ugly alien for a meandering tale featuring a super-predator and his dog. While it tried to take the franchise in a new direction it ended up taking it to the grave with a bizarrely-plotted snooze-fest that brought in just $160m globally.
Meanwhile Disney's three year experiment with an all-you-can-eat Star Wars buffet came to an end with epic dud Han: Solo. It suffered from an uninspiring story and disastrous casting, which, combined with costly re-shoots, managed a feat even George Lucas couldn't: a Star Wars film that actually lost money.
But perhaps the biggest failure was the film that brought together some of the world's favourite superheroes (and Aquaman): Justice League. This represented another nail in the coffin of Warner Bros' attempt to cash in on their existing properties with as little effort as possible. And with the dreadful Aquaman solo effort later in the year, there's now more nail than coffin.
With mainstream audiences deterred by traumatic memories of Batman v Superman, and the fan of that film being put off by Justice League's lighter tone, Warner Bros saw its cash disappear faster than you can say Steppenwolf. Main stars Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck announced their departure from the franchise as soon as courtesy would allow, and the DCEU looks like it may now be a thing of the past. So there is some justice, after all. AC
Best Meal
While a meal was made of a great many movies this year, we're going to take this category much too literally, Bohemian Rhapsody style: the best meals consumed on the big screen in 2018. The standout is Phantom Thread's Reynolds Woodcock (who also happens to be the uncontested winner of the Best Name award) and his outrageous breakfast order, delivered with delicious deadpan delicacy by Daniel Day-Lewis. No wonder he's retiring after eating all that.
Another contender for the Stomach of Steel Trophy (which confusingly contains no steel, on account of being fictional) has to be Ethan Hawke, whose priest character in First Reformed has his own, less flashy breakfast routine: pouring Pepto-Bismol into a glass of whisky. Drinking something that causes and instantly cures heartburn represents the height of efficiency, and to that we raise a glass.
The other great meal of the year was surely the bucket of fried chicken Viggo Mortensen shares with Mahershala Ali in one of many heart-warming scenes that make up the pages of Green Book. Sadly though this blog is 100% vegan, so the winner of the Best Meal award is instead… all the scenery that was chewed by John Malkovich in Bird Box. Ha, we weren't being literal after all, we did an M. Night Shyamalan. Unfortunately, so did he. DM
Overrated Film of the Year
You can learn all you need to know about the state of modern horror when Hereditary is hailed as a masterpiece. The completely un-shocking shocker used tired seance scenes and bump-in-the-night scares which won it inexplicable praise, presumably from people who were just relieved it wasn't another Purge film.
But Wes Anderson was more successful in achieving undeserved acclaim, with Isle of Dogs – a tale about some Japanese canines infected with a virus that makes them talk like middle aged white American men. The un-funny adventure was Anderson at his worst, yet somehow managed to please audiences and critics alike.
But my winner has to be Sorry to Bother You, a bothersome film about a guy who works in a wacky call centre. The muddled script feels like it was written by school kids (complete with dick jokes) and the objects of its stupifyingly obvious satire have been taken on far more effectively elsewhere. Yet in spite of feeling like this year's Downsizing it has a Rotten Tomatoes rating higher than that of The Elephant Man, making it my pick for overrated film of the year. Hang up and don't call back. AC
Loudest Film
Say what you like about Hollywood's diversity problems, they're always willing to cater to the hearing impaired. The Meg, Skyscraper and Rampage all tested the limits of the human ear using sharks and explosions (often at the same time), while Aquaman played a Pitbull version of Toto's Africa at a volume clearly unsafe for actual pitbulls.
That said, the loudest film of 2018 was A Quiet Place, whose filmmakers failed to see how much more immersive a film set in a silent environment would be made by reflecting that silence in the sound design. This means it also takes the Irony Trophy (again, contains no actual iron) once held by Gravity for a title so unrepresentative of the actual movie. In any case it's hard to muster excitement for next year's sequel, unless it somehow renders Emily Blunt unable to talk in another Mary Poppins movie. DM
The Golden Goblin for Best Film
While 2018 may have been about as good for films as it was for politics, that's not to say there haven't been a few diamonds in the rough. The world of big franchises was kept afloat by Marvel, with two impressively good bangers; Black Panther and Infinity War.
Last year's Best Picture winner deserves a mention: Guillermo del Toro's beautifully made tale of a woman who finds a kindred spirit in a strange, aquatic creature being held at a research facility, The Shape of Water. Frances McDormand gave a career-defining performance in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, while Steve McQueen proved everything he touches turns to gold in Widows, the penultimate film to star Liam Neeson.
There were two films which looked at how religious tradition functions in the modern world, Disobedience and First Reformed, both of which were fascinating in their own ways. Chilean film A Fantastic Woman is one of the few examples of a film about a transgendered person played by a transgendered person and BlackkKlansman was Spike Lee at his political best, taking on the Trump administration by drawing scathing parallels to the KKK.
It's hard to pick just one of these, so let's just say everybody wins. Invisible goblin-shaped statues all round. AC
Disappointing Animation
Isle of Dogs isn't the only animation which failed to impress this year. Aardman managed to create their worst ever film with Early Man, the baffling caveman football movie that deserved the red card. It was conceptually confused, and while it maintained their appealing and instantly recognisable Plasticine animation style, it lacked their usual charm.
But the award goes to The Grinch which, in spite of being better overall than Early Man, loses points for being a totally unnecessary remake of the famous green scrooge, without the humour or heart of its live action counterpart. Bah, humbug. AC
As Wes Anderson was making a dog's dinner, other animations came out less ruff. Pixar assembled an uncharacteristically super sequel in the form of Incredibles 2, combining elasticity, domesticity and a scene in which Jack-Jack fights a raccoon; the best altercation between a baby and an animal since Trump vs that eagle. Later in 2018 we entered the Spider-Verse, a whirlwind introduction to the Miles Morales incarnation of Spider-Man that left millions of eyes in a spin.
Better still was The Breadwinner, a Canadian-Irish-Luxembourgian co-production about an Afghan girl surviving under the Taliban. Nora Twomey baked frightening, realistic storytelling and childlike imagination into The Breadwinner, producing a fresh slice of poetic, political animation. Ciabatta make another film soon. DM
Worst Sequel
We've mentioned Jurassic World: Fallen Condom, but that was far from the only 2018 sequel that had us "doing a Sandra Bullock" and reaching for the blindfold. Remember Pacific Rim: Uprising? Us neither. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again deserves a special mention for including a moment where Lily James accidentally pokes a horse in the eye, but it's a damn sight more entertaining than the likes of Glass, Halloween (2018) or The Equalizer 2, so called because it's about as much fun as a maths lesson.
But the goblin statuette for Worst Sequel goes to The Strangers: Prey at Night (when else are they going to prey, realistically?), if just for this unintentionally hilarious sequence. "No! Please! Not Kim Wilde! Anything but that!" DM

Police and Vulnerability in Bail Decisions
Danielle Hughes
Emma Colvin
Isabelle Bartkowiak-Théron
Since bail legislation was enacted in the 1970s, Australia has experienced a continual increase in the number of prisoners on remand. Amendments to bail legislation and police discretion have been shown to contribute to this increase. Further, an accused's vulnerability affects whether they are granted or denied bail, with vulnerable people being more likely to be denied bail. Vulnerability in the criminal justice system refers to factors such as race, age, sex and socioeconomic status. Many vulnerable people have multiple intersecting vulnerabilities, which further compounds their contact with the justice system. This study employed a qualitative content analysis of bail legislation for the Australian states of New South Wales (NSW), Tasmania, and Victoria, along with key correlating second reading speeches. The aim was to better understand the way in which bail decision-makers, such as police, consider vulnerability when making decisions about bail, in particular, if and how they are legislated to consider factors relating to vulnerability. The research found that only police in NSW and Victoria were required to consider an accused's vulnerability explicitly under the law. Although legislation may cater for varying vulnerabilities, intersecting vulnerabilities are not considered.

From the eyes of a Pacific Crest member
on Nov 3, 2016 at 6:01 pm
The field was hot, the sun beats down and the routine is challenging, especially while carrying a 37-pound tuba. Despite the intense heat and physical strain, senior Matthew Distante chose to spend his entire summer as such: attending 12-hour practices to train for Drum Corps.
Distante's journey with band was different from most. He was originally placed in drama in sixth grade but transferred into band. After experimenting with various instruments, Distante discovered the tuba. With time, Distante became more of a principal player and joined Marching Band with the position of a marching tuba.
"Once I got in high school is when I really started to discover my passion for music," Distante said. "I appreciate the the musicianship that goes into playing [the tuba]. Everyone thinks tuba players are just incredibly basic, but when you unearth that, you just realize how beautiful you can make an instrument sound."
Distante travelled to over 20 states as part of Pacific Crest to compete in Drum Corps, a rigorous nation-wide drumline competition that takes up the most part of the summer. Since Drum Corps is non school-affiliated, Distante had to go through difficult auditions to qualify. He took the position of the marching tuba, and practiced with Pacific Crest for consecutive 12-hour rehearsal days called "all-days".
"We rehearsed at Diamond Bar, which is a really nice high-quality stadium field. Days consisted of either travelling, eating, sleeping, practicing or performing. There's nothing else. Your life for all of summer is band," Distante said. "The only to describe [Drum Corps] is marching band to the extreme. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, considering how heavy the instruments were. But you just grow more accustomed to it, you learn to get stronger."
To make the show more emotionally impactful, Pacific Crest adopted a theme of the union of America through the Transcontinental Railroad. Through the theme, Distante and his corp conveyed the hardships of being separated from a loved one.
"We were told to imagine someone we missed dearly, and we had to reach for that person. We had to display emotion, we had to imagine and give our all," Distante said. "You get so into sometimes; I ended up tearing up because I thought about something really close to me when we were performing in finals night. That's the kind of energy you need to display to the audience whenever you're playing, whenever you're not playing [and] when you're performing."
Distante and Pacific Crest performed as finalists at the Lucas Oil Stadium for the Drum Corps finals, along with 12 other finalists. Over 40,000 spectators watched as the finalists competed through showcasing their different routines.
"At the end of the day, after performing [at Lucas Oil Stadium], the rush of playing for 40,000 people is just amazing. It's the experience of a lifetime," Distante said. "It's one of those things that just sticks with you throughout your life, [it] makes a huge impact."
In the near future, Distante plans to compete in Drum Corps again, and hopes to qualify for higher-ranking corps. He has also made adjustments in his health maintenance habits, including going to minor physical therapy and getting in shape.
"You need to do a lot of pre-season working out, warming up and eating right; it's really important. It's a full-time commitment. It's a really external thing, but if you want to make [improvement], you have to make it an internal thing," Distante said. "I've become a stronger person [and] a much stronger player [both] physically and mentally. I'm going to try again this year to do it. I just encourage [others] to think that marching band, music in general, the arts, Drum Corps [is] more than just walking around and playing notes. There's really no words for it until you can experience it yourself."

In Deutschland ist eine private Hochschule eine Hochschule in privater Trägerschaft, die zur Vergabe akademischer Grade berechtigt ist. Zu den privaten Hochschulen zählen Privatuniversitäten, Fachhochschulen sowie Kunst- und Musikhochschulen. Nichtstaatliche Hochschulen in Trägerschaft einer Religionsgemeinschaft werden hingegen als kirchliche Hochschulen bezeichnet.

Deutschland

Staatliche Anerkennung
Die staatliche Anerkennung privater Hochschulen ist im Hochschulrahmengesetz (HRG) des Bundes (HRG §70) sowie in den Hochschulgesetzen der Länder geregelt, wobei die Länder über das Hochschulrahmengesetz hinausgehende Regelungen treffen können.

Private wie auch staatliche Hochschulen durchlaufen mit ihren Studiengängen identische Qualitätssicherungsverfahren zur Programm- und Systemakkreditierung.

Die Zuständigkeit für die institutionelle Akkreditierung der nichtstaatlichen Hochschulen liegt beim Wissenschaftsrat. Private Hochschulen werden durch den Wissenschaftsrat einer Konzeptprüfung unterzogen. Dabei werden unter anderem die personelle Ausstattung, die Leitungsstrukturen sowie die Ausstattung mit Laboren und Bibliotheken auf Hochschultauglichkeit geprüft.

Bestand
Im Wintersemester 2019/2020 gab es in Deutschland 116 staatlich anerkannte Hochschulen in privater Trägerschaft an denen 269.181 Studierende eingeschrieben waren.

Darunter befinden sich:

 20 private Universitäten und gleichgestellte Hochschulen,
 89 private (Fach-)Hochschulen ohne Promotionsrecht,
  4 private Kunst- und Musikhochschulen sowie
3 Theologische Hochschulen

Private Hochschulen werden in den Rechtsformen GmbH, gGmbH, Verein (e. V.) Aktiengesellschaft (AG) oder als Stiftungshochschule geführt.

Rahmenbedingungen
Private Hochschulen finanzieren sich zu 75 % aus Studienbeiträgen und zu 11 % aus wirtschaftlicher Tätigkeit. Dagegen sind für staatliche Hochschulen Trägermittel (73 %) und der Bezug von Drittmitteln (22 %) ausschlaggebend. Öffentliche Drittmittel spielen bei privaten Hochschulen fast keine Rolle.

Die Ausgaben der privaten Hochschulen beliefen sich 2013 auf 919 Mio. Euro (ohne Hochschulkliniken in Gießen und Marburg). Nach einzelnen Ausgabearten betrachtet stellen die
Personalausgaben mit 52 %, wie in den meisten Bildungseinrichtungen, die größte Ausgabenkategorie dar, gefolgt von den laufenden Sachausgaben (44 %) und den Investitionsausgaben (4 %). Die laufenden Ausgaben je Studierenden beliefen sich im Jahr 2013 bei den Hochschulen in privater Trägerschaft auf 5 690 Euro.

Die Ausgaben öffentlicher und privater Hochschulen lassen sich nicht unmittelbar vergleichen, weil gravierende Unterschiede im Aufgabenprogramm, in der Fächerstruktur, in der Finanzierung und der Ausgabenabgrenzung bestehen. Private Hochschulen konzentrieren sich vielfach auf weniger kostenintensive geistes- und sozialwissenschaftliche Fächer, sind grundsätzlich weniger forschungsintensiv.

Entwicklung
In Deutschland war die 1980 gegründete AKAD Hochschule Rendsburg (jetzt AKAD Hochschule Pinneberg) die erste staatlich anerkannte private Fachhochschule. Zwei Jahre später folgte die 1982 gegründete Universität Witten/Herdecke als erste private, staatlich anerkannte Universität.

Der Anteil von Studenten an privaten Hochschulen lag im Jahr 2010 bei etwa 5 %, er wächst stetig und liegt mittlerweile bei ca. 10%.

Am 14. Januar 2004 gründete sich in Heidelberg die Arbeitsgemeinschaft der privaten Hochschulen in Deutschland und im Mai desselben Jahres der Verband der Privaten Hochschulen e. V. Über 80 Hochschulen sind dem Verband bisher beigetreten. Vorstandsvorsitzender ist seit 2022 ist Peter Thuy.

Österreich
Als private Hochschulen sind in Österreich vorgesehen:
 Privathochschulen und Privatuniversitäten aufgrund des Privathochschulgesetzes,
 private Pädagogische Hochschulen aufgrund des Hochschulgesetzes 2005 und
 private Fachhochschulen aufgrund des Fachhochschulgesetzes.

Introduction: Specific publications on interventions for anxiety in post-menarche adolescents are still very rare in Indonesia. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of peer education using a novel-styled book intervention, not only on anxiety but also on menstrual knowledge in post-menarche adolescents. Methods: This quantitative study one group pre- and post-test pre-experimental design involved a population of 376 female students of SMP (Junior High School) Negeri 1 Rancaekek who had experienced menarche in the period of June – July 2017. Of the total population, 40 students were selected as sample using the proportionate stratified random sampling method. The content and design of the novel-styled book were initiated based on results of an action research using in-depth interviews and focus group discussion, respectively. Intervention was delivered twice within 1 week. A menstrual knowledge questionnaire was designed based on the results of the in-depth interviews (Cronbach's alpha: 0.807), while the anxiety was measured using Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (0.708). Data were then analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test with effect size (ES) calculation. Results: Improvement in the scores was seen for both menstrual knowledge and anxiety after intervention. The median score for menstrual knowledge increased from 60 (range: 35-80) to 90 (65-100), and the median score for anxiety decreased from 46.43 (35.71-85.71) to 32.14 (14.29-71.43), with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) for both. The intervention effect was found to be large (ES = 0.5), which was reflected in increased menstrual knowledge (0.873) and decreased anxiety (0.830). Conclusion: Peer education using a novel-styled book is effective for improving menstrual knowledge and anxiety in post-menarche adolescents.

Suppose we are both on the same BBS or forum, how can i detect your ip address?
Are you trying to discover the real identity of someone or just log ip's?
Anyway it doesnt matter, It takes a huge amount of effort to track ip addresses without having access to the server. If you try to do it without permission then you will just get caught sooner or later.
What if the person you are trying to identify is behind an anon proxy?
What if the proxy's are chained?
There are other ways to identify someone. You just have to be clever.
So do your research and poke around some other sites that deal with such exploits.
Thanks a lot,woodmman. i'll never do it again later!

A ~ from ~ - a place where one is as happy, as comfortable , etc as in one's own ~.
Home sweet home, make oneself at home, home is where the heart is, there is no place like home.
The work is all about home, the place one is connected to, where you grew up and feel secure. Home as the sheltered place where you sleep and love. Losing a home is like losing your base, sometimes even losing your very being, your identity.
The work features home in various ways: private versus public in the series Laundry, a place to rest one's head during travel in the series Home (stay).
The strength and and the flexibility of people in extreme circumstances is a strong inspiration. This shows especially in the series Sweet Home and the installations Tracks and Traces and Lost. The work emphasizes the stamina of survivors, who, in spite of drastic experiences, show their will to live by taking their lives in their own hand.


Aloe castilloniae - An unusual low sprawling aloe that grows as dense cluster to 6 inches tall and spreads slowly over time to several feet wide. The leafy stems are tipped by the 3 inch wide rosettes of 1 inch long recurved and rough textured olive green leaves that have prominent red teeth. Flowering and most growth is put on in fall and winter and going somewhat dormant in the heat of summer. The few orange flowers are held on a very short (about 2 inches tall) simple unbranched inflorescence. Plant in full to part sun in a very well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally to very little - does well with winter rainfall so long as soil drains well. It is not very hardy and often listed as frost intolerant but we have grown it outdoors in our nursery where it has been subjected to light frosts and temperatures down to 31� F. This unique aloe is a bit of a collectors item. Its unusual foliage and clustering habit is the most attractive feature and while the flowers are charming and attractive, they are hardly showy. This rare Madagascan cliff dwelling aloe comes from a location a few miles inland on the coastal facing Plateau Mahafaly near Joffreville in south-west Madagascar where it was found growing on porous calcareous sandstone from 300 to 900 feet in elevation. In the wide it forms almost vine-like stems that hang from cliffs and drape over boulders with stems one to two feet long. It was first described by Jean-Bernard Castillon in 2006 and named to honor his wife Bernadette, a horticulturalist specializing in Madagascan succulents at CB Succulentes on the French Island of La Reunion located in the Indian Ocean. We have a couple clones of this plant and this one is the smaller and tighter of the two, with leaves only about one inch long. We purchased our original stock plant from Cactus and Succulent Society of America Editor Tim Harvey in February 2012. This description is based on our research and observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery garden and in other gardens that we have visited. We will also incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have some additional information about this plant, in particular if this information is contrary to what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Aloe castilloniae.

With this new Viral Vector bioproduction facility, Novasep confirms its leadership position and effectively addresses the growing gene therapy market demand
Novasep, a leading supplier of services and technologies for the life sciences industry, has opened a new 27 M€ viral vector production facility in Seneffe, Belgium. The production of thefirst cGMP batches will start in H1 2019.
This project, known as Senrise-IV, represents an operational and strategic step forward for Novasep. This facility features the bioproduction of viral vectors at commercial industrial scale in an integrated manner and with full control of the value creation chain. To this end, Novasep has doubled its on-site workforce with the creation of 75 positions.
The facility will feature two cGMP production lines: one dedicated to adherence cell culture for viral vectors in moderate quantities – to treat certain rare diseases or for lower dose indications – and one for suspension cell culture with bioreactors of 50 to 2000 liters to produce larger quantities. This equipment is designed to meet the growing demand of biopharmaceutical companies worldwide.
The 2,000m² Senrise-IV facility meets the highest cGMP standards governing commercial production for biopharmaceutical use. A zero-risk approach thus remains a core priority with the separation of different production zones and effluent and material onsite decontamination.
"We are delighted to inaugurate this facility today. It was built in record time thanks to the unwavering support of our experts' team. We are now able to offer the market commercial production in addition to clinical production," said Pierre Lunel, Director of the Belgian site.
"In addition, the construction of 'Senefill', our fill & finish commercial facility is ongoing on the same site, and will be operational before the end of 2019. This investment will allow Novasep to provide standalone fill & finish services or integrated drug substance and drug product manufacturing for viral vectors, mAbs and other low volume biologics. We remain committed to efficiently respond to the strong market demand for orphan and targeted biopharmaceutical drugs as clinical pipelines mature," commented Michel Spagnol, Chairman and CEO of Novasep.

The department of Chemical Engineering started its activities in 2008 and it is now offering its courses to something about 200 undergraduate and 36 postgraduate students.
Chemical engineering is about converting raw low-value materials into different valuable products in an industrial scale. Considering the basic principles of Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Biology (which is recently added to the process) and above all, caring about the economical aspect of the issue, Chemical engineering paves the way to produce any needed facilities and tools for the fore mentioned process of producing various chemical products out of primarily raw materials.
Chemical engineering is indeed one of strategic majors in any country since it has such an important role in the macro production of national wealth through producing valuable products in great numbers. This is one of the main elements of sustainable development in any country, especially in a country such as Iran which is rich regarding various mineral and organic resources.
There is one main difference between Chemical Engineering and Chemistry itself; Chemistry is obsessed with describing the different features of materials in molecular level and identifying beneficial laboratorial combinations while Chemical Engineering is to produce various products in an industrial level. To fulfill such aims, first we need to identify the production process and then, every needed tool must be designed with the greatest accuracy.
At the moment the department of Chemical Engineering has got one research lab, i.e. the Research Lab of Nanofibers, and several other labs related to the theoretical courses.

Kirsti Sparboe (Tromsø, 1946. december 7.) norvég énekesnő.

Háromszor képviselte Norvégiát az Eurovíziós Dalfesztiválon: 1965-ben, 1967-ben és 1969-ben. Egy tizenharmadik, illetve egy tizennegyedik helyezést követően legutolsó szereplésénél mindössze egy pontot szerzett, ezzel az utolsó helyen végzett a tizenhat fős mezőnyben. Oj, oj, oj, så glad jeg skal bli című versenydala négy héten át vezette a norvég slágerlistát.

A három nemzetközi szereplése mellett 1966-ban, illetve 1968-ban is részt vett a norvég nemzeti döntőn, a Melodi Grand Prix-n. Mivel 1970-ben Norvégia nem vett részt a fesztiválon, Németország nemzeti döntőjébe nevezett be,  ahol Pierre, der Clochard című dalával a negyedik helyen végzett, így nem tudott negyedszer is részt venni a dalfesztiválon.

Why improve policy when a government can pillory a low-paid, precarious worker instead
Coronavirus, Labour Force, US economy
Last week we saw further evidence of the way in which class divisions create havoc for society although the way these events have been constructed in the media and popular perception are the antithesis of what was really going on. After having no coronavirus cases since April 16, 2020, suddenly we were informed on Sunday, November 15, 2020, that a dangerous virus cluster had emerged in South Australia (in particular the capital Adelaide) as a result of a breach in quarantine. The memories of Victoria's second wave, which had started as a result of a similar breach came flooding back and the South Australian state government almost immediately imposed a very harsh 6-day lockdown (the most restrictive imaginable). The following day, amidst all the furore about the severity of the restrictions, the Government announced they were rescinding the orders (mostly). Why? Because some foreign worker had contracted the virus had lied to investigators about his status and was, in fact, working at both the quarantine hotel where the breach occurred and a pizza shop were additional cases had been detected. Apparently this 'lie' led to the severe lockdown because it created some uncertainty in transmission links. I doubt that was the case and I think the Government just overreacted and lacked confidence in their own systems. But now it is the 'lie' that everyone is focusing on and the Premier is threatening to 'throw the book' at the individual. Not many questions are being asked in the media about the poor systems that led to the breach in the first place nor the overreaction of the government. All attention is being focused on a casualised, precarious worker who was forced to work (at least) two jobs to survive. There lies the issue.


Mariona Aupí is a Spanish musician from Barcelona, Spain that I discovered after her collaboration with fellow Spaniard, Carlos Ann. Criatura is her first solo album, and I would go as far as to say it is the sister album to Carlos Ann's electronic Agatsu album. They both share a similar electronic sound palette and he also produced this Criatura album. Mariona Aupí's music on Criatura can be described as electronic music that does not force itself upon the listener, and Aupí's cabaret-style vocals. It is an incredibly short album—a mere twenty-nine minutes. The opening track, Señora de Feroz, is representative of the album with its subtle electronics and Aupí's cabaret-style vocals that are very soothing. The album does have a bit of a Spanish tango feel, but with an electronic sound, as in Lanzador de cuchillos. Fiebre has an electrical electronic sound that is humbled by meowing cats. This album is quite varied despite the stiff electronic sound palette. Intimidad has a marching, yet extraterrestrial sound to it, while Arboles Negros has piano and an icy, mysterious atmosphere. Gira Asi has 1950s rock attitude, but with electronic sounds as it rocks back and forth, while, in contrast, the album closer, Pasión Guiñolento is a slow piano track that incorporates some electric guitar. I generally do not like electronic music, but they are not overwhelming on this album. Electronics are used as drums, which give the album some percussion and rhythm. Criatura is a good beginning for Mariona Aupí, who has a great voice and a promising future. If she is anything like Carlos Ann, who she seems to often collaborate with, it should be expected for her to explore numerous other genres in the future.

Bright Shiny Morning
Narrated by: Ben Foster
One of the most celebrated and controversial authors in America delivers his first novel - a sweeping chronicle of contemporary Los Angeles that is bold, exhilarating, and utterly original. Dozens of characters pass across the reader's sight lines - some never to be seen again - but James Frey lingers on a handful of LA's lost souls and captures the dramatic narrative of their lives.

My Friend Leonard
Narrated by: Andy Paris
Perhaps the most unconventional and literally breathtaking father-son story you'll ever read, My Friend Leonard pulls you immediately and deeply into a relationship as unusual as it is inspiring. The father figure is Leonard, the high-living, recovering coke addict, "West Coast Director of a large Italian-American finance firm" (read: mobster) who helped to keep James Frey clean in A Million Little Pieces.
Narrated by: L.J. Ganser
An uncommon accounting of a life destroyed and reconstructed, and a provocative alternative understanding of the nature of addiction and the meaning of recovery, A Million Little Pieces marks the debut of a bold and talented literary voice.
Worst Book I've Ever Listen To.
By Ryan Woodke on 03-30-19
By the time James Frey enters a drug and alcohol treatment facility, he has so thoroughly ravaged his body that the doctors are shocked he is still alive. Inside the clinic, he is surrounded by patients as troubled as he: a judge, a mobster, a former world-champion boxer, and a fragile former prostitute. To James, their friendship and advice seem stronger and truer than the clinic's droning dogma of How to Recover.

American Drug Addict
By: Brett Douglas
Narrated by: Ryan Turner
My name is Brett. I'm a college-educated man who was once a husband of 26 years with two children, three businesses, and a large home with an actual white picket fence. I'm also a drug addict. And I have a tale to tell. It's about the despair of addiction and the absolute certainty that it can be overcome. Recovery is not simply abstinence, but a process of growing up. I spent my entire life searching for the key to long-term sobriety. I would like to share with you what I have learned.
Extremely cringe worthy.

Twelve thousand years ago, they came. They descended from the sky amid smoke and fire, and created humanity and gave us rules to live by. They needed gold and they built our earliest civilizations to mine it for them. When they had what they needed, they left. But before they left, they told us someday they would come back, and when they did, a game would be played. A game that would determine our future. This is Endgame.
Great Adventure
By Murk on 08-30-16
From the New York Times best-selling author of A Million Little Pieces and Bright Shiny Morning comes Katerina, James Frey's highly anticipated new novel set in 1992 Paris and contemporary Los Angeles.
A kiss, a touch. A smile and a beating heart. Love and sex and dreams, art and drugs and the madness of youth. Betrayal and heartbreak, regret and pain, the melancholy of age. Katerina, the explosive new novel by America's most controversial writer, is a sweeping love story alternating between 1992 Paris and Los Angeles in 2018.
At its center are a young writer and a young model on the verge of fame, both reckless, impulsive, addicted, and deeply in love. Twenty-five years later, the writer is rich, famous, and numb, and he wants to drive his car into a tree, when he receives an anonymous message that draws him back to the life, and possibly the love, he abandoned years prior. Written in the same percussive, propulsive, dazzling, breathtaking style as A Million Little Pieces, Katerina echoes and complements that most controversial of memoirs, and plays with the same issues of fiction and reality that created, nearly destroyed, and then recreated James Frey in the American imagination.

Coming of Age Literary Fiction
Editorial Review
Don't call it a comeback
Yes. This novel is a cliché. One where an aspiring young writer journeys to Paris, languishes as he struggles to write the "great American novel," falls for a beautiful model in the City of Love, and so on the story goes. But I happen to love a good cliché when told as well as James Frey does here. It gave me some serious The Sun Also Rises vibes, just with more phenomenal pacing that gets your heart rate up while listening, with the author's voice driving. I don't want to spoil this for anyone, so I'll make this brief, but I also shed a few tears at the end. It's that good. My advice? Make this your next listen. You don't have to call it a comeback, but this is the James Frey writing that captivated so many when A Million Little Pieces first came out. —Kyle S., Audible Editor
Endgame: Rules of the Game
What listeners say about Katerina
4.71 stars.....really good
James Frey is a controversial figure in the literary world. He lies in memoirs and tells truth in fiction, blurring the lines between genres and catching hell for it from critics. His writing style is different, and he uses tons of profanity. All of that aside, Katerina is damn good audiobook. Say what you want about the man, but it's not everyone who can write a such a story about themselves, baring it all: the good, the bad, and the ugly.. James Frey isn't the world's best narrator, but he's the best narrator for this book. Much respect.........
Overall rating: 4.71 stars
James Frey Fans Will Appreciate this Book
A Million Little Pieces, an Oprah book club selection that millions read and loved, became a huge fiasco and embarrassment for James Frey when it was outed that Frey's non-fictional story with his struggle with addiction and recovery was mostly lies and embellishments. Regardless of how his readers felt about his book, one thing remains true: James Frey is a hell of a good writer. He followed up 'A Million Little Pieces' with 'My Friend Leonard,' which was an extension of some of the characters he met in rehab, and I found that book equally appealing.
Katerina is sort of hard to describe. It emphasizes (surely after the hoopla with A Million Little Pieces) that this book is a work of fiction. I believe that Frey wrote this book about himself, and he embellished, as he did with his others. It shows the person he is, his love for literature, and his attitude of not really caring what others think. One line in the book that was really poignant was "I didn't care about the money and the success, it was the climb to the top that I cared about, and I miss that."
A young dreamer with a love of real literature (especially Henry Miller) goes to live in Paris and soaks up culture by simply being places with his notebook, wine, sometimes drugs, and his mind. He discusses his life back in the 90s and his life today loathing his corporate world, and also the love of his life and how they met. His words are crass, yet beautiful. They are obnoxious, yet wise. They are hard, and soft and full of hate and love. They celebrate the beauty of depressed and poetic literature and the raw newness of it's discovery. This book is fluent, yet written in Frey's choppy style. It's narrated by Frey as it is written, with run on sentences, monotony, and a faint lisp. It's educational, sad, happy, beautiful and ugly, and in the end not so different from Faulkner and Miller, and every one of Frey's heroes who have made a great societal and intellectual impact on the free thinking literary minds in our world and worlds past.
If you didn't like Frey's other work, you may find this boring, trite, and pointless. I feel like I caught a piece of the millions he shared, and I feel like this, albeit fiction, is a masterful compromise on his part- a way to say 'screw you' to the masses with discretion. This is a work of fiction, but so much of it is not. And, if you like the book or not, I don't think Frey will care.
Solid 4 stars- next time he gets five if he doesn't throw in the 'fiction' disclosure. Love your mind James- stay sober, my friend.

Love Frey - Good story, narration disappointing
I've read all of James Frey's books and I love them all. He's a fantastic storyteller and wonderful at developing characters. Katerina is another gem. It was a little less entertaining for me than A million Little Pieces. My Friend Leonard and Bright Shiny Morning...but it's extremely close. Really cool story done in a unique way. I don;t want to give away too much of the plot but it's basically a love story (with some drugs, sex, booze, and other fun stuff thrown in). It't definitely not a sappy love story. There are some real good details thrown in.
Again, I love James Frey. Love his style and his writing. So when I saw he was narrating I was actually pretty excited. But unfortunately I was disappointed. His performance is very monotone. So the one weak spot for me is the narration---but it's not bad enough to keep from listening to this one in my opinion. It's well worth the credit and 7 hours of your time. Especially for Frey fans....but also for anyone else looking for a unique novel.
Avid Reader
Narration is HoRRIBLE!!!!!!!
James Frey should stick to writing and leave the narration to professionals. I couldn't bare to listen to it.
Lori Bishop
If only I could return this book. I could not even finish it, and the fact that he narrated it made it even worse.
Jennifer Baker
This wasn't a book
This was an extremely repetitive thought process read as a completely redundant and monotone run on sentence. It was also a lot of nonsense just to have make the opportunity to justify his scandal.
Terry Harmon
I loved ever bit if it. In the beginning, I wasn't too fond of the narrating but it grew on me. Frey becomes the actual main character. loved it!
OmG....by far an amazing book read by writer!!
Thank you for narration.... gave me a J perspective.....love love love!!!.... truly an amazing writer!
Tropic of passion
I love it. I'm happy he did the voice. I also love Tropic of Cancer, and feel much like he once did, but didn't get laid as much.
As a write, it speaks to me deeply. I love his fever for words, his passion for life, his quest to be raw.
He is the Henry Miller of our times. He writes with great virilely about sex and being young and wanting to get high.
The love story is so sad and it's all so well told. The end is crushing and amazing.
I couldn't want more in a book. Grateful some can tell it so well.
Susie Q
Hooked On JF
James Frey had me hooked since his first book, A Million Little Pieces.
I love his writing style and his depth. I guess what distinguishes him
from many others is his stories are so raw. I am always deeply moved
by his works.
I worked in a busy cardiac unit as an RN and the first and only time I ever
brought a book to work was My Friend Leonard. I simply couldn't put it down.
( but I admit I waited until lunch to indulge lol)
I love all his books and immediately get them when they come out.
I haven't been disappointed yet.
I can't wait for his next one.
I'm so glad he narrated his book. Even better!

Get to Know Lisa Maria Martin
Up next in our series, we get to know Lisa Maria Martin—author of our latest book, Everyday Information Architecture. She shares the characteristics she admires most in creative people, the poets she's inspired by, and what she finds challenging about working remotely.
ABA: What is your favorite thing about your workspace?
Lisa Maria Martin: It's in my house. I've been working from home for over five years; I know it's not for everyone, but it's the best way I've ever worked. I have a small office with too many books, a treadmill desk, and not enough surfaces (unless I repurpose the treadmill, which, uh, happens more than I'd like). The only challenge with it is how many companies don't support remote work, because their internal culture doesn't understand or trust that way of working; it's really disappointing to have to pass on projects for something as silly as physical proximity. It's 2019, and instead of flying cars we got reliable video-conferencing software, so let me use it already.
ABA: Is there anyone you're following the work of right now, who you'd recommend others pay attention to?
LMM: Recently I've been really digging articles and talks from Marchaé Grair, Malaika Carpenter, Erika Hall, Dan Hon, Dave Thomas, and Anita Cheng. And I love the tweets I see from Amélie Lamont, Chappell Ellison, Sonia Gupta, Marco Rogers, Alice Goldfuss, Erica Joy Baker, Maxim Leyzerovich, and Kim Crayton. And Deb Chachra, Sarah Taber, and Chanda Prescod-Weinstein are in the sciences, but their observations are deeply applicable to the tech industry.
ABA: What does the tech industry need more of? Less of?
LMM: More human decision-making. Fewer algorithms.
ABA: What is your go-to source of inspiration when you're trying to get out of a creative rut?
LMM: Poetry. It's necessary for so many reasons, but one is that it weirds up your thinking. Really good poetry uses language in unexpected ways; it surprises your brain; it finds uncommon ways of looking at common things. I can't think of a better way to challenge and change your patterns. (Try Jenny Xie, Ilya Kaminsky, Mary Ruefle, Lucille Clifton, Aracelis Girmay, Larissa Szporluk, Harryette Mullen, and Terrance Hayes.)
ABA: What characteristic do you most admire in other driven/creative people?
LMM: Three things:
Kindness, by which I mean not niceness, not politeness, not sweetness, but a genuine desire to meet people where they are.
Enthusiasm, by which I mean publicly and unabashedly being weird about dogs or spreadsheets or fandom or activism or whatever. I love when people love something and show up for it. I love when people give a shit.
A willingness to engage, by which I mean an awareness of the system and one's position within it, and an interest in bending the universe (web work included) toward protecting the vulnerable among us. It's ongoing work and we don't always get it right, but if you're not even trying, if you're not even willing to look at yourself—well. Those are not people to admire.
ABA: What tool, object, or ritual could you not live without to get you through a week?
LMM: Slack (for talking), Twitter (for listening), Word (for writing), Bear (for editing), and chill beats (for thinking).
ABA: What's the biggest sacrifice you've made to do the work you do?
LMM: Stability. Independence is my preferred way of working, but it means, for instance, that I don't get regular paychecks. I manage the ebb and flow just fine, but the mental calculus never stops being exhausting. Health coverage, savings plans, retirement accounts—they exist, but not the way they would if I had an employer. That's a choice I made, and I stand by it, but, gosh, I have to wonder why this was the choice capitalism gave me in the first place: my autonomy or my security. Anyway, back to making websites.

The Prospector is the eerie story of one man's search for riches in the lonely, desolate wilderness of Alaska. I grew up in Alaska and I've spent a lot of time in the wilderness there. The mountains are gray and crumbling, studded with crevasse-riddled glaciers, the forests are dark and tangled, the rivers gray and cold, and even now in the backcountry you can go days or weeks without seeing another person, even near the cities. It's lonely and haunting and wildly beautiful.
The landscapes in the Prospector are hand-painted based on locations around southcentral and interior Alaska. Several of these scenes, such as the one below, are repainted to represent the changing conditions and seasons.

Happy birthday, Rita Wilson! The actress, producer, writer, singer and Huff/Post50 editor-at-large turns 58 on Sunday, Oct. 26. In her own birthday well wishes to us here at Huff/Post50, Rita recalled a toast her dear friend Nora Ephron gave her on her 50th birthday: "I am here to tell you good things can happen after turning 50." And no one illustrates this message better than Rita, who has gone from actress-producer to singer-songwriter -- with great success.
Not only does Rita enjoy a recurring role on "The Good Wife," but she also has a new album coming out in 2015 featuring original songs she co-wrote. In addition, she just completed a two-week run singing those songs at the Café Carlyle in New York City. She garnered great reviews. As Theater Mania put it, it's impossible not to like Rita, noting that "her honesty and sincerity make you root for her as she unveils each new song."
To celebrate her birthday, Huff/Post50 asked Rita a few questions about life and what's best about being over 50.
What's most surprising about life after 50?
There is so much good stuff that happens after fifty. You have a sense of who you are and what you want. I have enjoyed it so much. Along with all that I have found that being an empty nester also has its challenges. Seeing friends has to be scheduled since everyone is scattered with their own interests and finding time together takes effort. If you have aging parents, you must take care of them which is something many of us are dealing with. Still, I find that there's a gratitude for life that seems to really kick in.
What are some things you are doing now that you never imagined you'd be doing?
After I made my first album of cover songs, AM/FM, in 2012, I never imagined I would be doing a second album of original songs I have co-written with some incredible songwriters. I never dreamed I would have a concert at Disney Concert Hall or play the Bluebird in Nashville singing my own songs. Life is full of surprises and you have to be open to them. I read something Oprah said that influenced me a lot about five years ago. She said something along the lines of ... If you know what you want you can get it. Most people don't know what they want. I remember thinking how can I possibly want anything when I already feel so blessed and so grateful. I wouldn't even allow myself the fantasy of answering the question. But, I realized it was a question that went deeper than any superficial desire. It was about purpose. And listening to your heart without distraction.
Do you have any particular secret for staying and looking so young?
I laugh a lot! I try to exercise everyday but don't always make it. I don't do anything like Botox or collagen. No judgment on it, it's just not for me at this point in my life. I have cut down a lot on sugar and carbs. Tom [Hanks] is a Type Two diabetic so I'm trying to live with less sugar. I went to a nutritionist and got some education about how best to do that. I'm obsessed with paddle boarding. It's like walking, but on water with your friends. Hours go by before you even realize it! I ski in the winter. I have been doing that since I was fifteen. Generally, though, I am extremely grateful for my husband, kids, family, health and that I can still be a creative person because as a very talented artist said to me, "Creativity is time independent."
Is there a mantra you live by?
I love the quote Polonius speaks in Hamlet: "To thine own self be true." It is vital to make sure you are listening to yourself and hearing what it is your body is telling you. When you hear what it is saying, do something about it. I have learned to say "no." I am, by nature, a people pleaser, so saying "no" has been a tough lesson for me to learn. Usually, this means I am saying "yes" to something else, something that would be better for my spirit. I still struggle with it but it's getting better. You can't be everywhere at once.
Happy birthday Rita! You inspire us every day!
One of my favorite romantic scenes in a motion picture happened when Tom Hanks and his co-star, /www.imdb.com/name/nm0001854/bio">Rita Wilson, slow-danced to "As Time Goes By" in their 1985 movie "Volunteers." Such a swoon moment! I wanted to BE Beth Wexler (Wilson) dancing in the arms of Lawrence Whatley Bourne III (Hanks). Every man alive had to live vicariously through Tom Hanks as he was holding the lovely Rita Wilson in his arms in that film in that moment. They were married on April 30, 1988. Congratulations on 25 years of ecstasy, you dream lovers you!


GLASGOW'S SSE Hydro has become the third busiest indoor arena on the planet.
And the man in charge of Britain's most exciting new arena believes it can become Europe's biggest entertainment venue, insisting the best is yet to come.
SECC chairman Will Whitehorn told The Herald: "The people of Strathclyde are the biggest spenders on live entertainment in Europe.
"We are going to have the most profitable year the SECC has ever had this year and that gives us the big opportunity now for the future.
"And that is to transform this side (SECC).
"The Hydro is now the third busiest indoor arena in the world, we have overtaken Madison Square Gardens.
During a stellar 2014 the Hydro hosted the Commonwealth Games, the Ryder Cup Gala Concert, the MTV EMA and the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
Global superstars such as Beyonce, Prince, The Eagles and Justin Timberlake also graced the stage while the Still Game Live shows proved a massive success over 21 dates.
Last week it emerged the Hydro welcomed 1.4 million visitors in 2014 and has the potential to bring £131m to the economy.
And 2015 is shaping up to be another blockbuster year with U2, One Direction, Taylor Swift, Elton John and Take That all scheduled to play.
Whitehorn, who worked with Sir Richard Branson at Virgin for 20 years, hailed the Hydro's eye-catching design.
He said: "I love the technology of the building.
"It is based on a geodesic roof structure, something that was developed by Barnes Wallis, who was a hero of mine.
"He also designed the Wellington bomber, with its geodesic structure.
"As a result of the structure of the roof the building is self supporting, so you don't have any pillars.
Whitehorn also said the Hydro has overcome early challenges such as organising funding and difficulties with builders to more than fulfil its potential.
He said: "No-one thought you could take a business that has essentially been making a small profit for a long time and transform it to this extent.
"I have seen that happen before with things like transforming a railway with a massive infrastructure project.
The former Virgin Galactic President also believes the most important aspect of working life is the reputation of the individual and the company they work for.
He added: "One of the people I've most enjoyed working with, apart from Sir Richard, has been Sir Ian Grant, who was chairman of the SECC and retired last Christmas.
"He absolutely had those standards of how one behaves and manages a business," he explains.
"When you come across it, it's incredibly admirable to watch it in action.
The Hydro has been heaped with praise since Rod Stewart became the first act to take the stage in 2013.
Bruce Gillmer, executive vice president of talent and music events for MTV, said the music channel was "thrilled" to bring its recent Europe Music Awards to Glasgow.
He added: "The SSE Hydro was the ideal home for an event of this scale.
"It's an incredible, world-class venue and we received tremendous feedback from artists, fans and VIPs.
"Every seat in the house had a great view of the stage and the acoustics couldn't be beaten.
Look back on how 2014 has been an unforgettable year for Scotland.


We missed you Hazy. Glad your back!
One empty chair at the dinner table,I remember that all too well.

Hi Tony – I've missed you!
Super enjoyed this post, Hazy. Nice to connect with your family life. It really truly does go by in a blink of the eye. Enjoy.

Dr. Polishook's 205 also features a 21st-century innovation, which is Richard Dain's Phoenix system that, among other things, increases the sustain and singing character of the instrument. It's heritage along with the Phoenix system make it a wonderful, inspiring instrument with which to demonstrate and teach about nuances of dynamics, tone colour, pedalling , and timbre. Two studio-quality microphones and a studio-quality digital-audio interface reside next to the 205 so high-quality recordings can be made when and as needed.
A recent addition to the studio is a modular analogue synthesis system. These components—piano, recording equipment, and synthesisers—together created an extended musical instrument that draws from, on the one hand, the historical legacy of the piano, and, on the other, from new and upcoming innovations in music technology. Finally, these elements all come together and feature in Dr. Polishook's solo piano concerts.

Trump, allies make frantic steps to overturn Biden victory

By: Scripps National/The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and his allies are taking what appear to be increasingly frantic steps to subvert the results of the 2020 election, according to law scholars, including summoning state legislators to the White House as part of a longshot bid to overturn Joe Biden's victory.
Trump also has personally called local election officials in Michigan who are trying to rescind their certification votes in Michigan.
His legal team has suggested that a judge order Pennsylvania to set aside the popular vote there. And his allies are pressuring county officials in Arizona to delay certifying vote tallies.
During a press conference Thursday, the president's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who is working on the campaign's lawsuits, made accusations of voter fraud in a handful of states, and seemed to suggest officials in several big cities were working together.
"It's not a singular voter fraud in any one state. There is a pattern in several states," Giuliani said. "To any experienced prosecutor, it would suggest that there was a plan." However, he did not give any evidence or further details about what led him to believe there was a "plan," other than baseless statements that the cities had "a history of corruption."
"It's very concerning that some Republicans apparently can't fathom the possibility that they legitimately lost this election," said Joshua Douglas, a law professor at the University of Kentucky who researches and teaches election law.
"We depend on democratic norms, including that the losers graciously accept defeat," he said. "That seems to be breaking down."
Election law experts see this as the last, dying gasp of the Trump campaign and say there is no question Biden will walk into the Oval Office come January.

When a Korean resort asked the students at Seoul's Sangmyung University art school to create works for its property, they decided to focus on its gardens; Chiho Cheon's contribution was the Boundary bench, meant to provide a literal meeting point between the surrounding nature and the manmade.
These days — as the style world's obsession with florals has hit epic proportions — it's common to see design shoots that spotlight expressive bouquets. But an intriguing new Copenhagen store and studio called Tableau has taken the convergence to a whole new level, focusing its entire oeuvre on the marriage of design, art, and flowers, with a portfolio that sees little distinction between its vases, its arrangements, and its furniture, like the new steel-and-terrazzo table pictured above. (Photos: Michael Rygaard) Remember our Current Obsession column about Kaj Franck's glass goblets? The one in which we told you to set an eBay alert, then set one ourselves, only to realize it's basically impossible to snag one for under $500? Well, if you're still in the market for goblets, we've found another option for you: The 1960s Pop glass series by Finnish designer Gunnar Cyren. Though full disclosure, it seems they're approximately 0% more affordable than Franck's.
For Adidas, Dutch designer Simone Post has made a series of striped rugs out of recycled sneakers — or, the soles of old, unwearable sneakers, made into rubber granules by the German company I:CO, to be exact. Too bad it's only a conceptual project.
This rug, on the other hand, is in production, but only as a limited edition, presumably because it's both very elaborate and very visually insane (in a good way). It's a new Art Deco–inspired design by Emtivi Studio for Illulian, launching at Maison et Objet.
When asked to participate in an exhibition at Maison et Objet by the Rong Design Library in China — a non-profit materials library that aims to promote traditional Chinese handicraft techniques — Swiss designer Sebastian Marbacher created a series of wooden chairs and benches that highlight sun mao joinery methods with contemporary shapes and colors.
Our favorite new discovery this week: The woven baskets of the Italian artist F. Taylor Colantonio, which are inspired by ancient Greek amphoras and which we spotted on the Instagram of Coming Soon. So. Freaking. Amazing.
An Egyptian bread basket made from bamboo and indigo by Studio Mumbai (no further description).
A cast-glass test object by Studio Anne Holtrop (no further description).
Wallpaper's annual Graduate Directory was recently announced, and among our favorites were Hannim Song (above top) and Chloe Duran Stone (above bottom), whose work we've been tracking on Instagram for awhile now.
Italian firm Marcante-Testa was recently asked to redo the interiors of a 40-year-old iconic fashion boutique in Milan called Imarika, and filled it with pastel fixtures and copper and plexiglas fittings. "The formal expression and the consideration of material … do not interfere with the architectural shell, but instead create an architectural landscape; an approach that makes reference to the extraordinary experience of the Olivetti shops, designed by Franco Albini, BBPR, and others between the '30s and the '50s," writes the studio.
We found this image on Atelier de Troupe's Instagram — it's a shot by Jonas Ingerstedt of an eclectic mystery interior for Elle Decoration Sweden, where the '60s meets the '80s.
Another architecture submission this week was the newest project by Spanish agency Lucas y Hernández-Gil, a renovation of an 18th century guest house that's so elaborate we can only imagine what the main house looks like. It's called "New Rural Guesthouse VB," and we had the momentary wild fantasy that it was for Victoria Beckham, but then we realized it's in a town called Villalba de los Barros — oh well.


The strength of a company's compliance record directly affects its reputation and even its ability to expand its operations or gain permits.
It is therefore extremely important that employees have the information they need to act correctly and fully understand the laws, regulations and policies that govern their daily responsibilities at work. Compliance training is thus key to ensure that all rules are respected.
Given that companies in the chemicals, plastics and life sciences industry are operating in a heavily regulated environment, essenscia organises various training sessions in different areas of expertise. In 2016, it provided 11,247 training hours to 1,504 employees of 477 companies. Workshops and training sessions were mainly organised on safety, health and environmental issues, social policy matters and product policy topics.
Since 2010, essenscia's product policy training team has been recognised by the Qfor quality label and is an accredited training provider for SMEs. This was successfully prolonged in 2013, and also extended to training courses organised by the social department.


1) I'm using SitemapXML (formerly "Google Sitemap"), because I need more control on my sitemaps (I'm modifiyng the plugin to obtain a set of sitemaps for each language (not sure if it's useful, nobody can say, but for sure is a must for me since we're activating many languages and it is a long process and I cannot submit sitemaps for languages not completed). The problem is that the urls on my sitemaps aren't rewritten. Any hint on how to obtain the rewriting also for sitemaps?
2) There are problems in google webmaster toolbar regarding title duplication of some kind of pages: page with reviews, single page of each review and pages created by the pagination system, for example when a category contains many products (example, 90 products in category AAA, showed 9 each page, we have 9 pages with duplicated title for category AAA).
3) The solution for multilanguage ezpages is very easy (zencart-ez-pages-don-t-get-the-magic-274.html#p2182) and there's no reason for you to refuse to apply it. It doesn't hurt Zen Cart versions without multilanguage ezpages an solve the problems of people using multilanguae ezpages (well, the rest of the world where english is not the main language...).
If these problems aren't addressed, since your software is closed and doesn't allow me to solve the problems it causes, I'd be forced to abandon it.
Of course, since I am co-mantainer of Zen Cart Italy and technical reference, to give best support to the members of italian community I'll must suggest not to use this software since it doesn't work properly and no-one apart the developers may modify it and they refuse to!
Of course, I'll give a voice also to my german, french and spanish friends.
By the way, now there's an open source solution, so if you cannot solve our problems, the way is just one.
This problem does not relate to MSU in any way.
(btw there are only about 1% non-English stores from total amount running MSU).
Hi Jiri, thank you for the replay.
2) Damn it! You have complete reason. My fault.
3) Hmm, yes I obviously haven't seen the code, but, hey, we're all coders and what I wrote is such a simple code! How is possible that a simple "if" cannot be implemented?!? If a then use a else use b: I cannot believe someone may write code where adding this simple code would be a pain.
Ok, only 1% non-english stores. But they still have paid and without ez-pages, my client, for example, must abandon MSU (by the way, we're satisfied with MSU, but we need customization (ezpages and other pages) so if we cannot customize it I think we'll must leave it (with all the problems regarding the probable change of urls, so redirect, 301 and so on)..
