12 Christmas theme movies to watch over 12 days of Christmas
It is the time of the year when Christmas movies bubble up to our favorite streaming platform's watchlist. Yes most of them are predictable, with the traditional theme of love, hope, generosity, faith, redemption, family, or fear ( Having said this, doesn't this include ALL movies? ) And YES DIE HARD is a Christmas movie.
Even though the Christmas season is often considered from the day after Thanksgiving till New Year's Day, technically Christians have celebrated a period of 12 days surrounding Christmas. As it is believed that it took 12 days for the 3 wise men to travel to Bethlehem to meet Jesus after his birth. So in tune with the famous Christmas carol, 12 days of Christmas, below are 12 movies (Both local and international, since Christmas is celebrated around the world, unlike my Thanksgiving list) to watch from Christmas Day to the day before the Epiphany (January 6th 2023).
Day 1: Gremlins
Minature green monsters tear through the small town of Kingston Falls. Hijinks ensue as a mild-mannered bank teller releases these hideous loonies after gaining a new pet and violating two of three simple rules: No water (violated), no food after midnight (violated), and no bright light. Hilarious mayhem and destruction in a town straight out of Norman Rockwell. So, when your washing machine blows up or your TV goes on the fritz, before you call the repairman, turn on all the lights and look under all the beds. Because you never can tell, there might be a gremlin in your house - —Amazon

Day 2: The Tower (South Korea)
On Christmas Eve at Tower Sky, an ultra-luxurious building complex, a White Christmas party is held to dazzle its equally high-end tenants and VIP guests. Dae-ho, the manager of the building and single father, is forced to cancel plans with his daughter Hana to work the event. His Christmas is saved when Yoon-hee, the food mall manager with a secret crush on Dae-ho, offers to babysit Hana during the party. Meanwhile, Young-ki the legendary fire chief of Yoido Station has finally promised his first holiday date night to his long-suffering wife. The party is in full swing with the spectacular sight of two helicopters flying overhead just to spray snow on the partygoers and make everything perfect. When unthinkable disaster strikes, Dae-ho and Young-ki must summon all their strength and courage to save the lives of thousands but at what cost to themselves and their loved ones?—CJ Entertainment
Streaming on: Amazon Prime
Day 3: Batman Returns
Having defeated The Joker, Batman now faces the Penguin - a warped and deformed individual who is intent on being accepted into Gotham society. Crooked businessman Max Schreck is coerced into helping him become Mayor of Gotham and they both attempt to expose Batman in a different light. Earlier, however, Selina Kyle, Max's secretary, is thrown from the top of a building and is transformed into Catwoman - a mysterious figure who has the same personality disorder as Batman. Batman must attempt to clear his name, all the time deciding just what must be done with Catwoman. —Graeme Roy <gsr@cbmamiga.demon.co.uk>

Day 4: Lethal Weapon
Roger Murtaugh is an aging family man and a sensible veteran police officer just trying to make it through the day unscathed. Martin Riggs is a suicidal loose cannon cop who doesn't care if he even lives to see the end of the day. Reluctantly thrown together to solve the mysterious murder of a banker's daughter, the unlikely duo uncovers a dangerous ring of drug smugglers employing ex-military mercenaries. After a tragic turn of events, the mission becomes personal and the mismatched investigators must learn to trust one another as they wage a two-man war against a deadly criminal organization. —The Massie Twins

Streaming on: Amazon Prime, TubiTV
Day 6: The Long Kiss Goodnight
Samantha Caine, the suburban homemaker, is the ideal mom to her 8-year-old daughter Caitlin. She lives in Honesdale, PA has a job teaching school, and makes the best Rice Krispie treats in town. But when she receives a bump on her head, she begins to remember small parts of her previous life as a lethal, top-secret agent. Her old chums in the Chapter are now out to kill her so she enlists the help of a cheap detective named Mitch.

Both Mitch and Charly proceed to do the killing thing, the bleeding thing, and the shooting thing.—Tony Fontana <tony.fontana@spacebbs.com>
Streaming on: Amazon Prime , TubiTV
Day 7: LA Confidential
1950s, Los Angeles is the seedy backdrop for this intricate noir-ish tale of police corruption and Hollywood sleaze. Three very different cops are all after the truth, each in their own style: Ed Exley, the golden boy of the police force, willing to do almost anything to get ahead, except sell out; Bud White, ready to break the rules to seek justice, but barely able to keep his raging violence under control; and Jack Vincennes, always looking for celebrity and a quick buck until his conscience drives him to join Exley and White down the one-way path to find the truth behind the dark world of L.A. crime.—Greg Bole <bole@life.bio.sunysb.edu>
Day 8. Anjaana Anjaani (India)
The story of two strangers on an odyssey of discovery, down a path that is ridden with the exquisite pain and joy of falling in love, only they don't realize it. A series of hilarious misadventures trace their bi-coastal road journey as they go about fulfilling their last wishes. But then life interrupts, as is its habit, and painful choices must be made. The duo part with the understanding that their days together were a brief interlude of insanity that had to succumb to real life. They part as they met--as strangers.
Day 9: Joyeux Noël (France)
In 1914, World War I, the bloodiest war ever at that time in human history, was well underway. However, on Christmas Eve, numerous sections of the Western Front called an informal, and unauthorized, truce where the various front-line soldiers of the conflict peacefully met each other in No Man's Land to share a precious pause in the carnage with a fleeting brotherhood. This film dramatizes one such section as the French, Scottish, and German sides partake in the unique event, even though they are aware that their superiors will not tolerate its occurrence.—Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)
Day 10: Black Christmas
The women of a female sorority stage a Christmas performance with a difference, hitting out at the predatory culture of the male sororities. When they start getting threatening texts they figure it is from men from these sororities but soon the threats turn to violence. The perpetrators seem more sinister than disgruntled men. —grantss

11. Tokyo Godfathers (Japan)
Christmas in Tokyo, Japan. Three homeless friends: a young girl, a transvestite, and a middle-aged bum. While foraging through some trash, they find an abandoned newborn. Hana, the transvestite with delusions of being a mother, convinces the others to keep it overnight. The next day, using a key found with the baby, they start tracking down the parents, with many adventures along the way.—Jon Reeves <jreeves@imdb.com>
Day 12. Cronos (Mexico)
In 1536, in Veracruz, Mexico, during the Inquisition, an alchemist builds a mysterious and sophisticated device named Cronos to provide eternal life to the owner. In the present day, the antique dealer Jesus Gris finds Cronos hidden inside an ancient statue while cleaning it with his granddaughter Aurora. He accidentally triggers the device and soon his wife Mercedes notes that he has a younger appearance. Out of the blue, the stranger Angel de la Guardia visits Gris's shop and buys the old statue. On the next day, Gris finds his shop trashed and Angel's card on the floor. He pays a visit to Angel, introducing him to the eccentric millionaire De la Guardia that explains the healing power and the eternal life that Cronos gave. Angel is sent by De la Guardia to hunt down Gris to get Cronos no matter the costs.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

FIU celebrates its Panthers on International Women in Engineering Day
Hundreds of degrees from the College of Engineering and Computing were earned by women in the last year.
By David Drucker
June 23, 2022 at 6:00am
At a young age, Deidra Hodges was well-positioned to become an engineer. Her parents were educators and her older brothers worked with technology, constantly fixing things around the house. Wanting to be like her siblings, Hodges signed up for her high school's electronics class.
But the teacher said she couldn't take it.
"He told me to go take choir instead," Hodges says.
After her mom visited the principal's office, Hodges was allowed into the class as the only girl — and prospered. The teacher became her mentor and soon enough, she was entering national electronics competitions.
Today, Professor Hodges is chair of the electrical and computer engineering department at FIU's College of Engineering and Computing (CEC). She is one of many women from CEC who are leading the way in engineering.
Professor Hodges uses a glovebox in her lab to synthesize solar panel materials.
On Thursday, CEC joins the world in celebrating International Women in Engineering Day, an annual tribute to the achievements of women in the field. The day was founded in 2014 by the Women's Engineering Society.
Hundreds of degrees from CEC were earned by women in the last year.
A common stereotype in society says that women are better at "soft skills" like communication and empathy than men; therefore, they are better suited for professions outside of engineering.
Darlene Fernandez '06 is one woman who is flipping that stereotype on its head.
In March, Fernandez was appointed executive director of the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority. She is using her knack for communication along with her civil engineering experience to implement the needs of Miami-Dade commuters while leading an interdisciplinary team of engineers.
"I believe that women's ability to communicate and interact effectively combined with a strong technical background can take them very far," Fernandez says. "We just need to build up young women's confidence and self-esteem first so they know they can do this job."
Fernandez says programs that introduce young people to engineering, like FIU's Engineers on Wheels, are vital to getting more women into the profession.
"A lot of young women say, 'Hey, I don't want to be in an office all day. Is there anything else women engineers can do?'" Fernandez says. "If you show them what women engineers do who are 10 to 15 years out of school, then it becomes easier to understand how hands-on this profession can be."
Darlene Fernandez '06
Naomi Lowe is one student at CEC who interacted with engineering at a young age. She was brought to the profession by a program at her high school. Lowe continued on with it and is now a mechanical engineering senior and a driver for Panther Motorsports.
"For me, I just like how engineering is a way to apply and create your thoughts," Lowe says.
This early experience is now leading to a promising career. In August, Lowe will be conducting data acquisition for motor emissions as an intern for FEV North America, Inc.
"Making things better motivates me," Lowe says. "Our pollution problem and greenhouse gas problem are things that I want to work on."
"If the opportunity is out there, it means it's there for you to take. If you're intimidated, it means it's worth taking."
Naomi Lowe takes the speedway for Panther Motorsports.
While learning about engineering at an early age is helpful, some women at FIU are beginning from no experience and finding rockstar-level success.
Take senior mechanical engineering major Alexandra Berkova. She was studying English when she first came to FIU. The first-generation student switched to engineering after hearing more about it from a friend.
Today, she is a member of a three-woman team that won Schneider Electric's Go Green for North America, a continental-wide clean energy competition. She and her teammates are prototyping a seawater battery that will use sodium from the ocean instead of lithium, a scarce material used in many of today's batteries.
"Once I started working in more technical roles, I realized that being an engineer is not as difficult as it's made out to be," Berkova says. "People say 'Oh, rocket science.' But it's just math and science. It's not something you get overnight. You have to build to it."
From left to right: Amanda Perez, Alexandra Berkova and Ana Claus are innovating a way to alleviate lithium demand.

This year so far, we have had 362 cars stolen in the city. Many of these are stolen by juveniles and are later recovered, but usually the cars have been damaged or involved in accidents. Many of these kids then endager themselves and the public as they speed and drive recklessly in the stolen cars.
Each morning I see a number of cars idling and unlocked in driveways and convienence store lots. That is an open invitation for a criminal to steal your car! Yesterday alone we had several stolen in the West District.
Please help us by NOT leaving your car idling and unlocked, help us PREVENT AUTO THEFT!!

Manori Beach is about two kms long and fringed with palm trees and rows of seafront hotels. Both Gorai and Manori are safe beaches linked by a rocky headland and accessed across a small creek.
In Mumbai, this sleepy beach near the Portuguese- favored fishing village of Manori is a weekend retreat for the people of Mumbai and a favoured venue for beach holidays. It offers a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of India's most busy metropolis.
Palm Beach Resort is the ideal getaway for anyone who loves the sea. The ethnic ambience of the resort, recreating the mood of a local tribal community results from the 38 spacious rooms designed amongst a landscaped palm garden.

Q: SSH into server on network - and then access a web interface (ip only, no port) I'm trying to access the web interface of my NAS externally.
What I tried:
In putty - make an ssh tunnel on 80, then I fill in the IP of the web interface, on port 80 aswell (I think this part is wrong, since locally I dont use a port, just an internal ip adress).
Then I connect to the server, which works. but when I go to localhost:80 on the external machine, I get this:
webpage is not available - ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.
Am I setting it up right?

A: You should SSH into the Linux box as you are now, but instead of port forwarding to 127.0.0.1:80 or localhost:80, you need to port forward the connection to the IP address of the NAS. If the NAS device is at 192.168.192.51, then the port forwarding configuration in PuTTY needs to be to 192.168.192.51:80, i.e., port 80 for the NAS IP address, e.g., see Port forwarding to another device with PuTTY.
Alternatively, you could use the SOCKS proxy technique suggested by Frank Thomas in his comment. That is definitely a better solution should you wish to access web servers other than just the one running on the NAS device through the SSH server. For specific steps to set up a SOCKS proxy using PuTTY, see Using PuTTY to set up a SOCKS Proxy Connection. To use that technique, you also need to configure your browser to route connections through the SOCKS proxy you created with PuTTY and then reconfigure the browser to no longer use the SOCKS proxy when you no longer want to route web traffic through the SSH server. But that is relatively simple to do. Steps to configure some browsers on Windows to use a SOCKS proxy are provided from the links below:
Chrome
Internet Explorer 6
Internet Explorer 10
You can find the steps for other browsers by searching on the browser name and "socks proxy configuration".
Once you have the browser configured to use the SOCKS proxy, put the IP address of the NAS device in your web browser, not 127.0.0.1 or localhost., e.g., http://192.168.192.51. You don't need to add the default port number of 80 in this case to access the web interface on the NAS device.

Enhanced induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition following acute menadione administration
Kapil Saxena, Tala R. Henry, Laura E. Solem, Kendall B Wallace
Induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition in vitro is well-characterized and widely implicated in the mechanism of oxidant-induced cell death. Despite an abundance of in vitro evidence, implication of mitochondrial dysfunction in the mechanism of chemical toxicity in vivo awaits demonstration of the induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition in tissues from intoxicated animals. Menadione (2-methyl-1, 4-naphthoquinone), an agent known to induce the permeability transition in isolated liver mitochondrial in vitro, was administered as a single bolus to adult male rats, and hepatic mitochondria were isolated 24 h later. Mitochondria from menadione-treated rats exhibited an increased sensitivity to calcium-induced inhibition of state 3 respiration and loss of respiratory control, as well as a greater sensitivity to calcium-induced calcium release that was inhibited by cyclosporine A. Associated with this was the depolarization of membrane potential and swelling of mitochondria from menadione-treated animals, but not control animals. Both the calcium-dependent depolarization and swelling of mitochondria from menadione-treated rats were inhibited by adding either cyclosporine A or ruthenium red. The results are consistent with the induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition and provide the first evidence for the manifestation of an increased sensitivity to this response as a result of chemical exposure in vivo.

Despite an abundance of in vitro evidence, implication of mitochondrial dysfunction in the mechanism of chemical toxicity in vivo awaits demonstration of the induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition in tissues from intoxicated animals. Menadione (2-methyl-1, 4-naphthoquinone), an agent known to induce the permeability transition in isolated liver mitochondrial in vitro, was administered as a single bolus to adult male rats, and hepatic mitochondria were isolated 24 h later. Mitochondria from menadione-treated rats exhibited an increased sensitivity to calcium-induced inhibition of state 3 respiration and loss of respiratory control, as well as a greater sensitivity to calcium-induced calcium release that was inhibited by cyclosporine A. Associated with this was the depolarization of membrane potential and swelling of mitochondria from menadione-treated animals, but not control animals. Both the calcium-dependent depolarization and swelling of mitochondria from menadione-treated rats were inhibited by adding either cyclosporine A or ruthenium red.

Q: Routing network traffic on Android applications during runtime The application we are implementing allows the user's phone to be connected to a network via WiFi without having access to the internet (through that network), and using their phone's mobile data connection at the same time. The application will be hitting web services through the network it's connected to, while able to still hit other services outside it's network through the data plan. The behavior for this isn't as expected; it works on iOS but not available on Android, so I developed a way to manually route the network traffic leaving my application.
My current work around is limited to only Android version 6.0 (Api 23) and up. What I've done is manually assigning where the traffic should go via the ConnectivityManager's Network Request api:
NetworkRequest request = new NetworkRequest.Builder()
            .addCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET)
            .addTransportType(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR)
            //.addTransportType(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) //In case it should go through WiFi instead
            .build();
connectivityManager.requestNetwork(request, new ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback(){
        @Override
        public void onAvailable(Network network) {
            connectivityManager.bindProcessToNetwork(network);
            //Handle API Request
        }

        @Override
        public void onUnavailable() {
            //Handle error logic
        }
    });

I've gotten this to work, albeit may not be practical, and I'm able to change which network I should send my requests through. However, with the app open and unfocused, other applications are able to access the internet through the phone's data plan. Once the app is closed, the behavior goes back to normal and the phone can hit services through the network, but not on the web (or vice versa, it's different depending on your Android phone).
What I would like to know if there is a way to revert back to the normal behavior when the app is unfocused (ie, during onPause() of my activity). Having the route set manually for other applications might not be ideal for the end user experience, nor might it pass through Google's terms.


Over the years I've heard all the excuses about why people can't or won't book a documentary family session. If you're someone who keeps putting off a shoot, or you feel like you're on the fence about a session, this post is for you.
What's stopping you from booking a documentary family session?
Is it because you don't see anything resembling what your reality looks like on the carefully curated social media accounts you scroll through everyday? Are you worried your kids won't behave, or you think your everyday ordinary is mundane and boring? Do in-home sessions scare you because you think your house is too small, or too messy and you're worried about what people will think? Are you waiting until you lose those last 5, 10, 20 pounds? Maybe you just don't have enough time right now because your kid's schedules are crazy and you're always on the go.
Hey, I get it- and believe me, I'm not judging. I'm just asking you to think a little differently about the importance of these sessions. Time moves quickly when your unit of measurement is childhood, and the things that are happening right now are already in the process of changing.
So let's talk about some of those excuses, shall we?
Bring me along to document the busy stuff to show how your role in this crazy busy life does not go unnoticed (I'll even pack us some purse snacks and keep you hydrated). Added bonus- you'll get pictures of your kids doing whatever it is they do that makes you so busy (unless your kids work with or near clowns. I can't. We can talk all about that in the car while you're driving the kids to all the places).
Go rogue and block off a few hours for your whole family to be together to do WHATEVER you want, and I'll show up to document it for you. Of course you'll need faith that nobody's life or future professional sport career will get railroaded because someone had to miss something just so you could get some real family photos. Because guess what you're all going to miss someday? THIS TIME. Childhood is fleeting– we don't get these moments back. Give yourselves a break and a couple of hours to preserve this crazy beautiful life of yours. That's it. Think about it.
Seriously? No. I promise you're not as boring as you think, it's just harder for you to recognize because you're in the thick of it right now. Your everyday ordinary life is filled with so many awesome little details that make you guys shine. You need to see this through fresh eyes and a different perspective. Let me show you. I promise you won't regret it.
I go into every session fully anticipating that the kids will misbehave at some point, so let's just let it happen. I'm not expecting it because I heard rumors about them, it's just how kids roll. I shoot right through temper tantrums, crying, fighting, pants peeing, you name it. That usually gets kids to either turn things around, or get even crazier which makes for some pretty memorable photos.
No joke- 90% of the time after each session ends, parents will say some version of: "Were we the worst family ever? The kids ruined it didn't they? We're so boring. I can't believe how bad the kids were." Trust me, it's never THAT bad. Anyway, the point of your session is to capture the reality of your life right now– not some made for social media version. So you better believe that includes all the messy stuff that comes with relationships, parenting and growing up. Got it?
Good news, I get a little uncomfortable when I walk into a crazy clean house. I have 3 kids who make my house look like a different superstorm blew through every single room. Your house is fine the way it is, and it's where your family is most comfortable.
When you look at pictures from your own childhood, can you tell whether the house was clean or messy? Would you even care? You probably strain your eyes to inspect every little detail of the background, not because you're criticizing the way your parents kept your home, but because you are aching to remember ALL the details.
Your house is part of your story and deserves to share some of the spotlight. If you think your house is too small, or too big, or too whatever– that's just life, right? You've made it your own over the years and everything inside helps tell the story of where your family is at this point in time. Leave the mess.
Oh! You should know that every documentary family session with me includes a set of 4×6 proof prints to ensure you're left with something tangible when it's all said and done.
Think of it as an investment for your future when your memories start to fade and your kids grow bigger than you can keep up with (or handle). I am happy to set up payment schedules for session fees and/or products to make sure nothing is too overwhelming or breaks the bank, so please let me know if that's something you're interested in.
This excuse needs to GO! Have you ever looked through your own childhood photos and thought, "Geez, I really wish my mom lost weight before she got in the picture" or "It's annoying how many pictures I have from childhood with my parents."? Of course not. You're just happy to have those photos, right?
We're overly critical of ourselves but our kids aren't going to care about anything except having real photos of themselves with their parents. I'll say it again, time is fleeting and this chapter of your family story will be over before you know it. Think about it this way- you do SO MUCH for your family- how great will it be to have a visual record of what a rockstar you are! You were there too, leave your kids with something awesome to remind them.
WE REALLY JUST WANT A NICE FAMILY PHOTO FOR HOLIDAY CARDS.
Great! I always make a little time for a few posed family photos at the beginning or end of each session. I also partner with Minted to offer my clients some pretty stunning options for their holiday cards so I've got you covered in the holiday card department. The best part is you can request ANY of the photos from your session to be uploaded to your Minted account, so you can design your holiday cards with ease!
You'll get your pretty holiday card photo AND the real life photos that depict the love and chaos that is your family, unfiltered.
There's no better time than now to schedule your own documentary family session. If you still have reservations or an excuse that I didn't cover, get in touch with me and we'll talk it out. Otherwise, go ahead and hit that button below to get started!


Science researchers at Harvard University have discovered a gene found in the most devastating forms of cancer that controls embryonic stem cell self-renewal. The gene, SALL4, enables stem cells to keep dividing rather than grow into mature cells. The gene is re-expressed in almost all cases of acute myeloid leukemia and between 10 to 30 percent of lung, ovarian, gastric, liver, breast and endometrial cancer. Researchers say they can make a strong case that the gene plays a part in tumor formation. The breakthrough marks the beginning of a search for a drug that can block the gene's activity.
One of the study's co-authors, Harvard Medical School assistant professor of pathology Li Chai, published a paper earlier in the year that says an SALL4 inhibitor has a great deal of potential for treatment in leukemia cells. According to a Harvard University news article, Chai worked with patient blood cells and treated the samples' leukemic cells with the inhibitor that blocks SALL4 protein activity, then transferred the blood to mice. The cancer gradually regressed in the mice after the blood transplant.
Harvard University conducts a great number of studies like this one that have the potential to save countless lives every year. Lab suppliers interested in increasing lab sales leads and marketing life science solutions will find that Harvard University is also a very well-funded market, especially taking into consideration the most recent NIH and NSF research funding statistics. In 2012, the NIH gave Harvard University $392 million in research funding. This money was spread out among a number of different departments at the university, including anatomy and cell biology, biochemistry, biology, biomedical engineering, biostatistics, internal medicine, microbiology and veterinary sciences. The life science department best funded by the NIH was microbiology, which received 105 awards and $65.7 million in research funding. For a full list of departments receiving NIH funding organized by department name, number of awards received and total funding awarded, please visit the NIH website.
In addition to receiving the a great deal of research funding from the NIH, Harvard University also received $55.3 million from the NSF in 2012. The research funding was distributed to a number of projects within the life sciences. Of the total figure, $6.9 million in research funding went to life science projects alone. Some of the life science fields receiving funding included evolutionary processes, developmental systems, bio informatics, molecular biophysics, genetic mechanisms, ecosystem science, systematics and biodiversity science, population and community ecology, and cellular dynamics and function.

Sussex food truck featured in new Lonely Planet book
Around the World in 80 Food Trucks - Reproduced with permission from Lonely Planet � 2019
Alex Jenkins
Published: 13:33 Tuesday 12 March 2019
A Thai and South East Asian inspired food 'truck' has been included in a new Lonely Planet book.
ThaiAngle, based in Saltdean and currently located at Churchill Square, is one of 80 food businesses that have been included in Around the World in 80 Food Trucks.

Owner Nic Eadie started up his business in 2014, inspired by travelling around Thailand and living there for three years. In fact, he says he can remember the exact moment he fell in love with Thai food.
"I had never eaten Thai food before," he said. "Now it is very well established and there are lots of Thai restaurants, but back then there really was not very much. It was still a specialist cuisine.
"I landed in Bangkok in the morning and headed down to the backpacking area Khao San Road. I had a green curry and pad Thai at just gone 8am and I immediately fell in love with it. I fell in love with the country and the food."
Some 20 years later, these are now the most popular dishes at his vintage 1957 split-screen Citroën H food truck.

'My food is better than this'
After living in Thailand, where he spent time working on the Burmese/Thai border helping refugees, Nic came back to Brighton to complete a Masters at the University of Sussex.
"I had been eating Thai food three meals a day so I decided to learn how to cook it properly," the 43-year-old explains.
But then this newly found skill turned into something much more.

He said: "Whenever I went to a festival I could not find decent Thai food. And then I was going to Thai restaurants and thinking 'my food is better than this'.
"I am a nightmare to go out with as I always think I could do a better job," he laughs.
And so he started up his food business, basing it out of Saltdean where he now lives.

Finally, a few years ago, he left his full time job working for a charity at Gatwick helping people at the immigration centre and made ThaiAngle a full time entity.
Now he is busy not just with regular slots in Saltdean and Brighton but touring around festivals with Glastonbury and F1 British Grand Prix lined up this year among many others.
So how did he manage to be featured in the Lonely Planet book?
"They just got in touch a few months ago," he said. "I was really chuffed, particularly as when I went travelling I had my Lonely Planet book with me."
For the book he had to submit one recipe – and it was an easy decision for him to send the publishers his Pad Thai recipe.
"It is my most popular dish. If I had to name one dish this is probably my favourite Thai dish and I love cooking it."
Alongside the festivals Nic offers bespoke Thai cooking classes and caters for weddings, offering a range of South East Asian food from his 'favourite continent'.
Where you can find ThaiAngle
ThaiAngle is outside Churchill Square, Brighton, until the end of April.
You can also find him in Sussex at West Dean Arts and Crafts Festival, Chichester, between May 31 and June 2; Chilli Fiesta, Chichester, between August 9-11; Into the Wild Summer Festival, at Chiddinglye, West Hoathly, and Byline Festival, near Nutley, between August 23-26; and Goodwood Revival in September.
Around the World in 80 Food Trucks
The Lonely Planet Food book Around the World in 80 Food Trucks is out from tomorrow (March 13, 2019) and includes 80 fast, fresh and mouth-watering dishes — Japanese, Lebanese, Mexican, Peruvian and more — from the most exciting culinary minds on four wheels.
"In the past ten years, the culinary landscape of cities all over the world has been transformed by a new kind of street food purveyor: the gourmet food truck," writes commissioning editor, Christina Webb, in her introduction to the book.
"Food trucks first rolled onto the scene in the US around the time of the last global financial crisis," Christina says.
"It was an era when chefs were being laid off from traditional bricks-and-mortar restaurants, and, with no job but a lot of talent and ambition, decided to take matters into their own hands. Combined with a growing number of festivals and a trend for pop-up attractions, the market was ripe for entrepreneurial cooks to make their mark in nomadic kitchens."
The book costs £14.99 and you can buy the book here.

Reference and Reading Room Circa 1970
On October 10, 1864, a small group of Torrington men gathered together with the intention of doing something worthwhile for the community. The men included Rev. D.P. Sanford, Rev. W.S. Adamson, Rev. J. Vinton, Lauren Wetmore, Charles F. Brooker, and J.F.Calhoun. During this meeting, the men formed two groups. One group was to present an organized plan about forming a library (which included Sanford, Adamson and Vinton). The second group (comprised of Wetmore, Brooker, and Calhoun) was to solicit subscriptions for library membership.
On October 27th of the same year, the men formed the Wolcottville Library Association with only $700.00 to fund the organization. Library dues for all residents at the time were $2.00 per year. There were approximately 2,200 people in Wolcottville.
The first Board of Trustees president was Gideon Welch and the first librarian was Alexa Eggleston.
In 1865 the Wolcottville Library Association found its first home in the Granite Block area of downtown. The rooms once belonged to Attorney Walter Holcomb. Mrs. Frank Holley recalled in a 1939 newspaper article,
"I remember in the early seventies (1870s) that the library was located in the Granite block. Up a long broad pair of stairs in center front of the block across a narrow dark hallway into a large reading room, rather plain (not much furniture in those days), newspapers fastened against the wall and through a door on the west side of this reading room we came into another room long and narrow and behold the library proper with Mrs. Woodriff behind the desk or long counter" (Register Citizen Newspaper, October 10, 1939).
The first books were donated by a group of women who met to read and discuss current literature of the time. They gifted the books that they had previously read to the new library. The first newspaper the library subscribed to was the New York Tribune.
Many of the first Library donors of the day were thankful citizens. Some included the local baseball club, who gave $3.00 and the Young Ladies' Musical Association, who donated $40.00. The library also had the support of budding businesses, including the Coe Brass Manufacturing Company, who donated $100.00 and the Excelsior Needle Company, who donated $50.00. Both were considered generous donations, given that the companies were also just becoming established.
In 1876, the library came under financial distress. Money was owed to Mr. Gideon Welch, who had been donating money for supplies and everyday expenses, in the sum of $19.63, so the Trustees took up a collection. The following members made up the difference: Mr. Wetmore, James Alldis (the president of the Association at the time), O.R. Fyler, C.F. Brooker, the Brooks Brothers and Mr. Elisha Turner, who added to his $5.00 exactly 62 cents so that the library could start the New Year without a balance. As of January 1880 the library was without debt for the first time in its history.
In June of 1880, the Library again moved locations to the old wooden Congregational Church (the old Wetmore School), purchased by Lauren Wetmore. Mr. Wetmore offered the lower front floor to the library at the same rent they had paid in the previous location if they would reduce the membership fee to $1.00 in order to increase public interest. In that one year, membership more than doubled.
A second floor was constructed to the building, able to house four tenement apartments, with the library below. The building would later become known as the old Wetmore School. It was named such because Lauren Wetmore bought the building from the church in 1880. He was the library's landlord for many years, with provision. The first provision was that the library pay no rent and the second was that the library collect the rent money from the tenements above and keep the funds for library use.
In 1881 the Wolcottville Library officially changed its name to the Torrington Library. More secure forms of funding became necessary to maintain the library. At the Annual Meeting that year, Dr. St. John made this proposition, "I propose to be one of the eight to raise $200 for the library" (Register Citizen Newspaper, October 11, 1939). The meeting was adjourned, but the proposal was not forgotten. Four individuals were willing to raise the funds needed and another gave $100 to make up the difference, amounting in $1600, which was used to purchase books.
At the end of the Annual Meeting in 1885, Lauren Wetmore said, "I have no fears for the future. I would say make use of this hall and the fixtures as it is and the greater use you can make of it the better I shall be pleased. This institution can go on with increased vigor. One man cannot do everything but united we can do everything necessary to insure success" (Register Citizen Newspaper, October 11, 1939).
A New Library on Litchfield Street
The library remained in Wetmore's building until 1901. During that time, many individuals helped the library stay in good financial standing. Lyman W. Coe helped in monetary emergencies; Elisha Turner paid to put in sidewalks and other repairs; and the Torrington Electric Light Company installed fixtures and sent electricity free of charge. Wetmore also donated $20,000 in cash and property to ensure the building's success, and to create a fund to reduce membership fees.
Sadly, Mr. Wetmore died February 2, 1890 at the age of 89. Mr. Wetmore made provisions in his will that his property be transferred to the association upon his death. After the death of his wife in 1898, four men (Isaac W. Brooks, Orsamus R. Fyler, Gideon H. Welch, and James Alldis) received in trust for the library $25,000 from Mr. Wetmore's estate.
In May of 1899, the old association called a meeting and transferred all of their property to the Torrington Library, now a corporate body after applying for a legislative charter, dissolving the old association.
The new library body was prospering, much to the active involvement of the Trustees, especially Mr. Elisha Turner, who had become President of the Board of Trustees in 1884 and served as such until his death in 1900.
During Turner's presidency, construction began on what is now the current home of the library on Litchfield Street (and now Daycoeton Place). The vast, marble structure was paid for entirely by Turner's gift of $100,000. The land was also gifted to the library and was the former location of Lyman W. Coe's carriage house.
Earnest Greene, an architect from New York, was hired to draw the plans and H. Wales Lines Co., of Meriden and the Hotchkiss Brothers Co., of Torrington were the contractors.
Sadly, Turner did not live to see the building finished. Elisha Turner died September 14, 1900. The new building was dedicated on September 11, 1901, almost one year to the day after Mr. Turner's death. Upon his death, Mr. Isaac W. Brooks became President of the Board.
At the dedication ceremony, Yale professor Bernadotte Perrin said, "A Library in a community is a fountain of ennobling influence. A memorial such as the one left by Mr. Turner will live forever and this community will have long memory for Lauren Wetmore and Elisha Turner."
During the dedication, Judge Gideon H. Welch spoke of Lyman W. Coe who along with Turner and Wetmore played an key role in financially supporting the library. Welch also spoke of all past benefactors, saying, "I would that I could allude to them all by name and speak of their noble liberality. Especially would I be gratified to speak of the royal generosity to this association of the late Lyman W. Coe whose benefactions during his lifetime were so widely and wisely distributed" (Register Citizen Newspaper, October 12, 1939).
With Turner and Wetmore gone, two strong advocates for the library were no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of the organization. However, both left funds to ensure the library's financial stability. When invested, Welch estimated that the funds would draw and income of around $2,500 per year; a great financial assistance to the young organization.
Mr. Welch succeeded Mr. Isaac W. Brook as President of the Library and held the position for a second time until his death in 1927 at the age of 83. Judge Welch continued the legacy left by previous trustees, and left a bequest to the library.
In 1926, Ella Coe and her sister, Adelaide Eliza Coe Godfrey, both daughters of Lyman W. Coe, donated the money to build the children's room. They purchased the land from Mr. Sickmund's and so began construction. In 1928, Ella Coe also donated the money to redecorate and acquire new display cases for the Turner Museum. Along with it, she donated a good majority of her family glassware to the library collection.
In 1935, the L.W. Steele Women's Relief Corps celebrated the libraries 50th anniversary by donating the bronze relief of Abraham Lincoln with the Gettysburg address below the bust. It was originally placed in the Children's Room and can be seem near the Daycoeton Place entrance before the stairs to the second floor balcony.
Philanthropy did not end there. The Brooks brothers, of the Brooks Brother's Bank and Trust, also took an invested interest in the Library, serving on the Board of Trustees since 1864. John N. Brooks took the role of President in 1936 after the death of Edward H. Hotchkiss, and his son John H. Brooks served as President until the time of his death in 1998.
In 1970, substantial renovations were made to the library building to provide stack space, air conditioning and modern lighting.
After the death of John H. Brooks in 1998, Charles W. Roraback assumed the presidency and currently holds the position. In 1998 Susan R. Carroll became the first female Trustee in the history of the Library.
In May of 2008, the Turner Museum reopened as the new Program Room, hosting approximately 100 events a year in the space, giving patrons the opportunity to rediscover the artifacts housed in the museum.
In February of 2009, the marble tiled floor (which was carpeted over in 1970) was uncovered to reveal the beautifully colored mosaic pattern throughout the reading and reference rooms.
Benefactors have been generous over the years and have always seemed to remember the library, a place many called a refuge and second home.
The Torrington Library is a doorway to learning and a life-long partner to the community, providing free access to resources including a circulating collection of both print and non-print adult, young adult, and juvenile materials. With new materials added daily, the Library serves a community of over 36,000 with a dedicated staff of 18 and countless volunteers.
Throughout its history, the library has developed into a learning center for the people of Torrington and Litchfield County. The library currently provides its patrons with a substantial print collection, access to computers, free Wi-Fi, DVDs, audio books and musical CDs, various electronic databases, a dynamic and information website, free and education programming for children, teens and adults, and most recently, an increasing number of eBooks and audio books that patrons can download from the comfort of home.
The library has truly evolved into a destination for literature, learning, arts, culture, history, technology and so much more.
The Torrington Library celebrated its 150th Anniversary on October 10, 2014.
On April 15, 2015, the Torrington Library's Board of Trustees voted to move forward with an estimated $5.7 million dollar building project. The scope of the project included a renovation of the existing structure as well as a three level, 13,377 square foot L-shaped addition on the west and north sides of the building, increasing the total building size to 30,853 square feet.
The architect for the project was Peter Wells of Tuthill and Wells Architects, LLC. The general contractor was Burlington Construction.
The newly renovated library opened on December 5, 2016 after 18 months of construction.
The library continues to look to the future, while embracing the generosity of past benefactors and respecting the overall mission of the library: Engaging all members of community to providing equal access to books, electronic resources, programs, and partnerships to enrich and empower lives.

How do I convert this to do a pandas dataframe to have site.id, site.name etcs as columns?

A: I tested the following code successfully.
all_sites= []
all_sites, pagination_item = server.sites.get()
data = []
for site in all_sites:
    data.append([site.id, site.name, site.content_url, site.state])
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df.columns = ['id', 'name', 'content_url', 'state']
print(df)

excelRENT is our first investment property manager and we are delighted with Kirsten's service. She has helped us round out the build, acquire & install outdoor fittings (concrete slab, shed, furniture), fix defects with the build, get hold of cost effective ancillary Services (gardner etc) and most importantly, securing a low-risk and reliable tenant. They were also flexible in terms of negotiating property management fee structures and Kirsten's communication has always been prompt, clear and friendly. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

I wish this programme had been around 10 years ago
I've been running Fudge Animation, a full-service design, animation and production studio, for three years. But as a serial entrepreneur, I've started, run and sold businesses in the past. As clichéd as it sounds, SETsquared's Entrepreneurship Programme was life changing. It was an incredibly valuable experience and I wish I'd had the opportunity to take part in a programme like this when I originally went into business 10 years ago.
There are two sides to Fudge; providing creative animation services for corporate clients (e.g. TV advertising, product/service launch and general business communications) and secondly producing our own intellectual properties in the form of original TV shows. It's this second aspect of our business that was our focus for the Entrepreneurship Programme.
To get your tech business off the ground, sign-up for SETsquared's Entrepreneurship Programme
In order to get a TV show made you need to develop pitch documents and materials to take to global distributors to sell in the show concept. These pitch documents are costly to put together and involve creating budgets, scripts, character bibles, concept art, and test animation etc. Fudge is currently seeking investment to develop a number of these documents in order to get them pitch ready.
The Entrepreneurship Programme was fantastic and helped me hone my investment pitch. At the end of the two days you pitch live to an investor and mentor panel. Nerve racking and as challenging as it was, it was an invaluable opportunity to get feedback and further hone our investment proposition.
As a service company, we were the odd ones out on the programme as most entrepreneurs there were developing a specific technology. However, there was still a lot of value to be gained. It's made us look at our internal innovation, for example we're currently developing an animation project management tool, and the course has prompted us to speak to our clients such as HP, Samsung and Disney to find out what their problems are and whether they would be willing to buy our tool in order to solve them.
Exciting times are afoot for Fudge Animation; we are developing concepts for two adult comedies plus three children's shows. We crave advice and mentorship and are looking forward to working with Gary Smith, the Entrepreneur in Residence at the Woking SETsquared hub. SETsquared has fantastic investor networks and I'm sure this will prove invaluable to us going forward.
For all you budding Richard Branson's out there – this programme wasn't around when I first started on my entrepreneurial journey – but it is now, so make sure you take advantage of it!

The real cost of divorce in Canada
Pay Day October 7, 2013

No one who walks down the aisle ever imagines that they might one day end up divorced, but the numbers are bleak. In 2008, nearly 41 per cent of marriages were projected to end in divorce before the thirtieth wedding anniversary, according to Statistics Canada. Those rates have remained fairly stable for the last two decades, fluctuating between 35 per cent and 42 per cent.
Besides the emotional impact, divorce can pack a financial wallop.
According to Canadian Lawyer's 2011 legal fees survey, the cost of an uncontested divorce ranges from $1,006 to $2,547, with the average being $1,353. A contested divorce, meanwhile, can cost anywhere from $7,208 to $74,122, with the average cost being $12,875.
Those fees don't include disbursements, according to Canadian Legal Resources Centre, a paralegal services company. Disbursements typically entail costs such as the court filing fee and process serving.
Here's an example of what those fees might look like in Scarborough, Ont., for a simple divorce, according to the firm Fleury, Comery LLP:
Issue application (court fee): $157
Search registry (government fee): $10
Process server: approximately $64
Motion for judgment (court fee): $280
Court clerk for filing attendances: about $56
Certificate of divorce (court fee): $19
Court fees vary among provinces and territories. "Discoveries, appraisals, mediation, domestic specials, and financial audits are other examples of add-ons that can cost hundreds and thousands more," the Canadian Legal Resources Centre website states. And don't forget a lawyer's charge for emails, phone calls, and photocopying.
Ottawa family law lawyer Jeffrey Behrendt says that even if a divorce doesn't go to court, legal fees can easily reach the $10,000 mark. "A case that goes to court will cost you at least $10,000; more realistically it will cost at least $20,000 if it does not go to trial," Behrendt writes on CanadianDivorceLaws.com. "If your case goes to trial, your costs could be at least $50,000. So, going to court is not a decision to be made lightly. Normally, after a month or so, you and your lawyer will have a good idea as to whether your case can be resolved amicably or whether going to court is necessary.
But the financial toll doesn't end there. When couples separate, their expenses can increase by as much as $20,000 to $30,000 a year because of the need to support a second household, according to family mediator Stephen Rosenfeld, writing in a 2012 blog. That amount includes loss of discounts received (such as discounts for multi-car insurance) and the need for duplicate items for children at two homes (such as a computer, Internet access, clothing, and the like), as well as the possibility of child support payments and spousal support payments.
The tax system can add to the cost of a split, too. If parents share responsibility for their children equally, they can share tax deductions. But if the kids live with one parent more than 60 per cent of the time, the financially supporting spouse doesn't get the deduction in the same way.
And where the children live will affect the bank balance.
If kids live primarily with one parent, the other has to pay child support, which comes from after-tax income. And primary caregivers may not be able to sustain a full-time job because of all the logistical details they now have to handle on their own: taking the kids to and from school, activities, and appointments. Alternatively, there's the added cost of day care or after-school care.
Online tools such as My Support Calculator can give a clear sense of financial obligations for alimony and child-support payments.
So what can you do to mitigate the costs?
Service Canada notes that, if you can't afford a lawyer, you may be eligible for legal aid. Many provinces and territories offer lawyer referral services. Family Law Assistance Services also offer programs related to divorce proceedings.
Jim Doyle, senior financial consultant with Vancouver's Investors Group, says for those just about to embark on divorce proceedings, it's important to look at various approaches: a litigious model, a collaborative approach, or a mediated process.
"How you choose to enter into that process has a significant effect on how you come out the other end," Doyle says. "Imagine a litigious type of scenario. Your spouse and yourself end up with agreements that are typically not entirely desired by either side, and the situation is kind of forced onto you.
"A collaborative approach, where you're able to talk through the situation and bring in divorce coaches to help keep emotions at bay, helps keep conversation going and you can see what the results are going to look like."

University of Birmingham swept to three of the four titles on offer at the BUCS Cross Country Championships in a wet, windy and muddy Gloucester, with Callum Hawkins providing the performance of the day, Beren Cross reports.
The 23-year-old, who has already bagged Great Britain's Olympic qualifying standard for the marathon, conquered all before him at Plock Court, with a 59-second victory.
While the statisticians crunched the numbers which would confirm a Birmingham team victory in the men's long race, Pippa Woolven was executing a perfectly-judged effort to win the women's contest.
The Wycombe athlete led through a dominant Birmingham team performance, with three finishers in the top-ten securing the championship.
In the men's B race, St Mary's University made up for a bad day in the office with an individual win for Tom Austin and an overwhelming team result which returned three of the top-four.
University of the West of Scotland student Hawkins took the lead from the gun in the men's long race and settled into a pack including Birmingham pair Jonathan Davies and Andrew Heyes, along with St Mary's top man Richard Goodman.
Within the first quarter of the 10.2km race, Kilbarchan's Hawkins had broken the field up, taking only European under-23 cross country champion Davies with him.
Five minutes later and Davies was out the back door too. Hawkins didn't look back once and drew plaudits from around the venue for his dogged front running.
Davies took his foot off the pedal and joined up with Heyes to consolidate their position at the head of the team rankings.
The Hallamshire man edged away in the closing stages for the silver medal and Davies very nearly fell into the clutches of last week's Midland champion Alex Brecker (University of Warwick).
Birmingham finished on 44 points, with Jack Gray in 18th and Ian Crowe-Wright in 21st backing up the front runners. St Mary's had 78 and Loughborough University 84.
Woolven left it until the last minute to pass team-mate Rebecca Murray for the win. Murray had led for 20 of the 21 minutes spent running, but could not respond when the Commonwealth Games steeplechaser went past.
University of Bath's Jennifer Nesbitt was third, but had been fighting with Woolven and Amelia Pettit for second-place earlier in the contest, such was the quality of Woolven's pace judgement.
Birmingham finished on just nine points with Mari Smith backing up in sixth, with St Mary's second on 30 and Loughborough again third, on 40 points.
In the men's B race, Austin allowed team-mate Paulos Surafel to run away in the middle of the race only to reel him back in, in the closing stages.
Loughborough's Jayme Rossiter separated them in second place at the finish.

Michael "Tanne" Tarnat (* 27. Oktober 1969 in Hilden) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Fußballspieler.

Karriere

Als Vereinsspieler
Tarnat begann 1979 in seiner Geburtsstadt Hilden, in der Fußballabteilung des ortsansässigen SV Hilden-Nord, mit dem Fußballspielen. Zur Saison 1990/91 wurde er 19-jährig vom Zweitligisten MSV Duisburg verpflichtet, für den er in seiner ersten Profi-Saison 33 von 38 Ligaspielen bestritt und vier Tore erzielte. Sein Debüt am 7. August 1990 (2. Spieltag), beim 2:0-Sieg im Auswärtsspiel gegen den VfL Osnabrück, krönte er sogleich mit seinem ersten Tor, dem Treffer zum Endstand in der 84. Minute – sieben Minuten nach der Einwechslung für Dirk Bremser. In vier Spielzeiten stieg er mit dem Verein zweimal in die Bundesliga auf und zweimal ab. Sein Bundesligadebüt gab er am 2. August 1991 (1. Spieltag) beim 1:0-Sieg im Heimspiel gegen den VfB Stuttgart; sein erstes Bundesligator erzielte er am 27. August 1993 beim 1:1-Unentschieden im Auswärtsspiel gegen den VfB Leipzig mit dem Treffer zum zwischenzeitlichen 1:0 in der 26. Minute. Zur Saison 1994/95 wechselte er zum Karlsruher SC, für den er in drei Spielzeiten 81 Bundesligaspiele bestritt und sieben Tore erzielte. Zur Saison 1997/98 wurde er vom Ligakonkurrenten FC Bayern München verpflichtet. In sechs Spielzeiten gewann er mit dem FC Bayern 13 Titel. In dieser Zeit bestritt er 1999 auch zwei äußerst denkwürdige Spiele für den FC Bayern München.

Am 26. Mai gehörte er zu jener Mannschaft, die das Champions-League-Finale gegen Manchester United noch in der Nachspielzeit mit 1:2 verlor und am 18. September zu jener Mannschaft, für die er den 2:1-Auswärtssieg gegen Eintracht Frankfurt mit einer beachtenswerten Parade in der Schlussphase festhielt. Ab der 62. Minute hütete er das Tor für den verletzten Torhüter Bernd Dreher, der zuvor den durch den eigenen Verteidiger Samuel Kuffour verletzten Stammtorhüter Oliver Kahn ersetzt hatte.

Seinen größten Erfolg feierte Michael Tarnat im Mai 2001, als er mit dem FC Bayern den Champions-League-Titel gewinnen konnte. Im Endspiel wurde er allerdings nicht eingesetzt.

Zur Saison 2003/04 wechselte er zum englischen Erstligisten Manchester City, den er nach 32 von 38 Ligaspielen wieder verließ, um zum Bundesligisten Hannover 96 zu wechseln. Obwohl Tarnat ursprünglich seine Karriere nach der Saison 2006/07 beenden wollte, verlängerte er in der Winterpause der Saison seinen auslaufenden Vertrag zunächst um ein Jahr und im Dezember 2007 nochmals bis zum Ende der Saison 2008/09. Nachdem ihm nur wenige Stunden vor dem letzten Heimspiel der Saison am 16. Mai 2009 gegen den VfL Wolfsburg mitgeteilt wurde, dass der Verein seinen auslaufenden Vertrag nicht zu erneuern plane, verweigerte Tarnat nach seiner frühzeitigen Auswechslung in der 58. Minute den Handschlag mit seinem Trainer Dieter Hecking, dessen Verhalten Tarnat als unwürdig und respektlos bezeichnete. Eine weitere Zusammenarbeit mit Hannover 96 lehnte Tarnat infolge dieser Vorgänge in einem Gespräch mit dem Vereinspräsidenten Martin Kind ab. Stattdessen beendete er seine aktive Spielerkarriere zum Ende der Saison und ging zurück nach München.

Als Nationalspieler
Für die A-Nationalmannschaft absolvierte er zwischen 1996 und 1998 19 Länderspiele. Am 9. Oktober 1996 debütierte er in Jerewan in einem WM-Qualifikationsspiel beim 5:1-Sieg gegen die Auswahl Armeniens, als er in der 75. Minute für Thomas Häßler eingewechselt wurde.

1998 nahm er mit der A-Nationalmannschaft an der Weltmeisterschaft 1998 in Frankreich teil und bestritt vier Turnierspiele. Im zweiten Gruppenspiel am 21. Juni 1998 in Lens, beim 2:2-Unentschieden gegen die Auswahlmannschaft Jugoslawiens, führte sein Distanzschuss, von Mihajlović zum Eigentor abgefälscht, zum 1:2-Anschlusstreffer. Sein letztes Länderspiel absolvierte er am 14. Oktober 1998 in Chișinău beim 3:1-Sieg im EM-Qualifikationsspiel gegen die Auswahl Moldawiens.

Als Funktionär
Mit seiner Rückkehr zum FC Bayern München wurde Tarnat ab August 2009 Jugendscout. Ab Juli 2010 fungierte er als sportlicher Leiter der Nachwuchsabteilung des Vereins. Zur Saison 2015/16 wurde Heiko Vogel sportlicher Leiter der Nachwuchsabteilung; Tarnat war zunächst weiterhin für die Mannschaften ab der U16 abwärts verantwortlich, schied jedoch im Januar 2016 aus.
Im Sommer 2017 kehrte Tarnat zu Hannover 96 zurück und übernahm dort die Leitung der "96-Akademie", des Nachwuchszentrums der Niedersachsen, das er bis Ende Juni 2022 leitete.

Persönliches
Sein Sohn Niklas ist ebenfalls Fußballspieler. Der defensive Mittelfeldspieler wurde bei Hannover 96 und beim FC Bayern München ausgebildet, führte Hannover 96 II als Kapitän in der Saison 2018/19 der Regionalliga Nord an und ist jetzt bei Rot-Weiss Essen aktiv.

Erfolge
 Weltpokal-Sieger 2001
 Champions-League-Sieger 2001
 Deutscher Meister 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003
 DFB-Pokal-Sieger 1998, 2000, 2003

The Top 10 French Songs of the 2010s
Since 2018, we've been putting together lists of the best French music by decade and… we've finally made it to 2020! 2020 promises to be a great year for French music. Indochine, Coeur de Pirate, Woodkid, Juliette Armanet (see below!), and even Jane Birkin will release new albums this year. Though we say this for every list, this one was particularly hard to come up with. Some artists who almost made the list include Cléa Vincent, Sébastien Tellier, Jeanne Added, Paradis, Izia and The Pirouettes. We adore their music, but we wanted to select songs that covered a variety of different genres. We also tried to pick ones for our students that will make them want to sing (and maybe even dance!) along.
By Sophia Millman
"Midnight City" – M83 (2011)
Although "Midnight City" is one of the most ubiquitous songs of the 2010s–you've probably heard it in at least one commercial, movie, or videogame–the song's French composer, Anthony Gonzalez, has managed to stay under the radar. There's no Wikipedia page about him, but you can read an adorable interview with his mom in French here! According to Gonzalez, he was inspired to write "Midnight City" while driving through downtown LA. Looking at the giant buildings and screens, he felt like he was in Blade Runner. Why has "Midnight City" endured as one of the most critically-acclaimed songs of the 2010s? Probably because it draws on the best of '80s New Wave music, yet manages (even with a saxophone solo!) to sound incredibly modern.
"Beirut" – Ibrahim Maalouf (2011)
Born in Beirut and son of famous classical trumpeter Nassim Maalouf, Ibrahim Maalouf grew up in Paris. He studied at the city's most prestigious conservatory, and although he draws on Western musical tradition, he plays on an unusual quarter-tone trumpet. As this article explains, the trumpet allows Maalouf to incorporate Arabic melodies into his music. Maalouf has become France's most famous contemporary trompettiste and is adored by fans of classical jazz and fans of hip hop. He has composed soundtracks for many films, including the In the Forests of Siberia, for which he won a Cesar. "Beirut" is one of his most famous songs–listen for his homage to Led Zeppelin at the end!
"Papaoutai" – Stromae (2013)
If you took French in high school or college during the 2010s, you probably studied the lyrics to at least one of Belgian artist Stromae's songs. Rearrange the letters in "maestro" and you'll get Stromae–a deceptively simple trick that speaks to Stromae's success. In his Youtube series "Lessons," Stromae demonstrates how he puts together his songs with nothing more than a keyboard. While Stromae's lyrics might seem merely catchy at first, they in fact explore a variety of complex sexual ("Formidable"), political ("Alors On Danse") and familial issues ("Papaoutai"). The latter's title is a phonetic spelling of "Papa où t'es?" ("Where are you, Dad?") and the song explores Stromae's grief after his father was killed in the Rwandan genocide. If you want to be completely charmed by Stromae, watch this video where he plays his music in Time Square and is delighted that no one recognizes him.
"Paris Seychelles" – Julien Doré (2013)
Julien Doré might be described as the French equivalent of Adam Levine. Adolescents adore him, but his popularity (as well as his luscious curls) have led him to be parodied in France. Doré in fact plays a parody of himself in an episode of one of our favorite French TV series, Dix pour cent. If you're a fan of Doré or the show, watch this clip where he talks about shooting it! Doré won Nouvelle Star in 2007, and has since coached competitors on shows like The Voice: La Plus Belle Voix. Fun Coucou fact: our talented teacher Quentin was coached by Doré and performed one of his most well-known songs on The Voice!
"Christine" – Christine & the Queens (2013)
Héloïse Letissier, better known by her stage name Christine & the Queens, has released some of the most exciting music videos in recent years. This New York Times article explains why the intricately-choreographed video for "Tilted" is just so impressionnant. Letissier is one of the most internationally-acclaimed French musicians of the last ten years. You might have heard her music on an episode of Girls, seen Madonna bring her on stage, or read one of the hundreds of articles about her gender-bending music. Pitchfork just selected her latest single as a "best new track": listen to it here!
La Femme – Où va le monde (2016)
La Femme's first album Psycho Tropical Berlin (2013) was released to critical acclaim in France and won a Victoire de la musique. Their second album was equally good, and we hope that they'll release a third one soon! If you're a fan of coldwave music and are already familiar with La Femme's anglophone influences (The Cure, Velvet Underground…) try listening to their French ones: Jacno and Marie et Les Garçons!
Polo & Pan – Canopée (2016)
DJs Polocorp and Peter Pan met at one of Paris's most famous nightclubs, Le Baron. Their eclectic influences include Debussy and LCD Soundsystem, and they incorporate exotic instruments into their songs. For instance, in "Bakara," they sample a Pygmy flute! Listen to their full album Canopée to hear them experiment with a wide variety of genres: disco, funk, jazz, and soul! If you like their music, you should also check out one of their contemporary influences: L'impératrice!
"À la folie" – Juliette Armanet (2017)
The daughter of Parisian booksellers, Juliette Armanet studied literature and worked as an audiovisual journalist before her career in music took off. Since the release of her hugely successful first album, Petite Amie, she's performed in almost all of France's most famous music venues. Many French people discovered her when she performed Michel Legrand's classic song "Les Moulins de mon cœur," at the Cannes Film Festival. In some of our previous music posts, we've written about la chanson française and its legacy. Juliette Armanet has been heralded as a leader for la nouvelle chanson movement.
"Basique" – Orelsan (2017)
Aurélien Cotentin (Orelsan) is a French rapper, songwriter, actor and film director. He formed the French hip-hop duo Casseurs Flowers with rapper Gringe, and the two also made a hilarious shortcom called Bloqués together. His third album, La Fête Est Finie, was certified platinum four times in France. Orelsan has received a variety of major French awards including Best Rap Album, Best Audiovisual Creation, and Best Male Artist of the Year. "Basique" is one of his funniest songs, and the lyrics are quite catchy (and good for French practice!). If you'd like to listen to more popular contemporary French rappers, check out Booba, Jul, PNL and Maitre Gims.
"Balance ton quoi" – Angèle (2018)
Angèle recently featured on the New York Time's "15 European Pop Acts You Might Not Know, but Should" along with Aya Nakamura. A black feminist anthem, Nakamura's song Djadja was constantly playing on the radio in France in 2019. Angèle's "Balance Ton Quoi," which she wrote during the #Balancetonporc movement (the French #MeToo), has also become an anthem for contemporary French feminism. In the song's hilarious music video, Angèle attempts to teach a group of clueless men (including French actor Pierre Niney) about sexual consent. Angèle originally wrote music for her brother, the Belgian rapper Romeo Elvis, but became a pop sensation when she released "Tout Oublier."
Bonus: "Elle me dit" – Mika (2011)
This may not be the most well-written song of the decade, but it's very fun to dance to! Lebanese singer-songwriter Mika was born in Beirut, but spent his childhood between Paris and London. He writes many of his songs in English, and is often labeled the 21st century's Freddie Mercury. "Elle me dit" (the English version is called "She Tells Me") parodies all of the things a mother might say to her twenty-something-year-old son. Its music video stars Fanny Ardant and other famous French actresses. Also, the song's lyrics happen to be perfect for practicing the French imperative!
