Halle Maria Berry (born Maria Halle Berry; August 14, 1966)[1] is an American actress. She began her career as a model[2] and entered several beauty contests, finishing as the first runner-up in the Miss USA pageant and coming in sixth in the Miss World 1986.[3] Her breakthrough film role was in the romantic comedy Boomerang (1992), alongside Eddie Murphy, which led to roles in films, such as the family comedy The Flintstones (1994), the political comedy-drama Bulworth (1998) and the television film Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999), for which she won a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award.
Berry won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the romantic drama film Monster's Ball (2001), becoming the only woman of color to have won the award.[4] She took on high-profile roles for much of the 2000s, such as Storm in X-Men (2000) and its sequels X2 (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006); Bond girl Jinx in Die Another Day (2002); and in the thriller Gothika (2003). In the 2010s, she featured in the science-fiction film Cloud Atlas (2012), the crime thriller The Call (2013) and the action films X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) and John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019).
Berry was one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood during the 2000s, and has been involved in the production of several of the films in which she performed. Berry is also a Revlon spokesmodel.[5] She was formerly married to baseball player David Justice, singer-songwriter Eric Benét, and actor Olivier Martinez. She has a child each with Martinez and model Gabriel Aubry.
Berry was born Maria Halle Berry; her name was legally changed to Halle Maria Berry at age five.[6] Her parents selected her middle name from Halle's Department Store, which was then a local landmark in her birthplace of Cleveland, Ohio.[7] Her mother, Judith Ann (née Hawkins),[8] is white and was born in Liverpool, England.[9] Judith Ann worked as a psychiatric nurse. Her father, Jerome Jesse Berry, was an African American hospital attendant in the psychiatric ward where her mother worked; he later became a bus driver.[7] Berry's parents divorced when she was four years old; she and her older sister, Heidi Berry-Henderson,[10] were raised exclusively by their mother.[7]
Berry has said in published reports that she has been estranged from her father since her childhood,[7][11] noting in 1992, "I haven't heard from him since [he left]. Maybe he's not alive."[10] Her father was very abusive to her mother. Berry has recalled witnessing her mother being beaten daily, kicked down stairs and hit in the head with a wine bottle.[12]
Berry grew up in Oakwood, Ohio[13] and graduated from Bedford High School where she was a cheerleader, honor student, editor of the school newspaper and prom queen.[14] She worked in the children's department at Higbee's Department store. She then studied at Cuyahoga Community College. In the 1980s, she entered several beauty contests, winning Miss Teen All American in 1985 and Miss Ohio USA in 1986.[3] She was the 1986 Miss USA first runner-up to Christy Fichtner of Texas. In the Miss USA 1986 pageant interview competition, she said she hoped to become an entertainer or to have something to do with the media. Her interview was awarded the highest score by the judges.[15] She was the first African-American Miss World entrant in 1986, where she finished sixth and Trinidad and Tobago's Giselle Laronde was crowned Miss World.[16] According to the Current Biography Yearbook, Berry "...pursued a modeling career in New York... Berry's first weeks in New York were less than auspicious: She slept in a homeless shelter and then in a YMCA".[17]
In 1989, Berry moved to New York City to pursue her acting ambitions. During her early time there, she ran out of money and had to live briefly in a homeless shelter.[17][18][19] Her situation improved by the end of that year, and she was cast in the role of model Emily Franklin in the short-lived ABC television series Living Dolls, which was shot in New York and was a spin-off of the hit series Who's the Boss?.[17] During the taping of Living Dolls, she lapsed into a coma and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.[20][21][22] After the cancellation of Living Dolls, she moved to Los Angeles.[17] She went on to have a recurring role on the long-running primetime serial Knots Landing.

Berry's film debut was in a small role for Spike Lee's Jungle Fever (1991), in which she played Vivian, a drug addict.[7] That same year, Berry had her first co-starring role in Strictly Business. In 1992, Berry portrayed a career woman who falls for the lead character played by Eddie Murphy in the romantic comedy Boomerang. The following year, she caught the public's attention as a headstrong biracial slave in the TV adaptation of Queen: The Story of an American Family, based on the book by Alex Haley. Berry was in the live-action Flintstones movie playing the part of "Sharon Stone", a sultry secretary who attempts to seduce Fred Flintstone.[23]
Berry tackled a more serious role, playing a former drug addict struggling to regain custody of her son in Losing Isaiah (1995), starring opposite Jessica Lange. She portrayed Sandra Beecher in Race the Sun (1996), which was based on a true story, shot in Australia, and co-starred alongside Kurt Russell in Executive Decision. Beginning in 1996, she was a Revlon spokeswoman for seven years and renewed her contract in 2004.[5][24]
She starred alongside Natalie Deselle Reid in the 1997 comedy film B*A*P*S. In 1998, Berry received praise for her role in Bulworth as an intelligent woman raised by activists who gives a politician (Warren Beatty) a new lease on life. The same year, she played the singer Zola Taylor, one of the three wives of pop singer Frankie Lymon, in the biopic Why Do Fools Fall in Love. In the 1999 HBO biopic Introducing Dorothy Dandridge,[25] she portrayed the first African American woman to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and it was to Berry a heart-felt project that she introduced, co-produced and fought intensely for it to come through.[7] Berry's performance was recognized with several awards, including a Primetime Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award.[3][26]
Berry portrayed the mutant superhero Storm in the film adaptation of the comic book series X-Men (2000) and its sequels, X2 (2003), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) and X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014). In 2001, Berry appeared in the film Swordfish, which featured her first topless scene.[27] At first, she was opposed to a sunbathing scene in the film in which she would appear topless, but Berry eventually agreed. Some people attributed her change of heart to a substantial increase in the amount Warner Bros. offered her;[28] she was reportedly paid an additional $500,000 for the short scene.[29] Berry denied these stories, telling one interviewer that they amused her and "made for great publicity for the movie".[27][30] After turning down numerous roles that required nudity, she said she decided to make Swordfish because her then-husband, Eric Benét, supported her and encouraged her to take risks.[31]
Berry appeared as Leticia Musgrove, the troubled wife of an executed murderer (Sean Combs), in the 2001 feature film Monster's Ball. Her performance was awarded the National Board of Review and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress; in an interesting coincidence she became the first African American woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress (earlier in her career, she portrayed Dorothy Dandridge, the first African American to be nominated for Best Actress, and who was born at the same hospital as Berry, in Cleveland, Ohio).[32] The NAACP issued the statement: "Congratulations to Halle Berry and Denzel Washington for giving us hope and making us proud. If this is a sign that Hollywood is finally ready to give opportunity and judge performance based on skill and not on skin color then it is a good thing."[33] This role generated controversy. Her graphic nude love scene with a racist character played by co-star Billy Bob Thornton was the subject of much media chatter and discussion among African Americans. Many in the African-American community were critical of Berry for taking the part.[31] Berry responded: "I don't really see a reason to ever go that far again. That was a unique movie. That scene was special and pivotal and needed to be there, and it would be a really special script that would require something like that again."[31]

Berry asked for a higher fee for Revlon advertisements after winning the Oscar. Ron Perelman, the cosmetics firm's chief, congratulated her, saying how happy he was that she modeled for his company. She replied, "Of course, you'll have to pay me more." Perelman stalked off in a rage.[34] In accepting her award, she gave an acceptance speech honoring previous black actresses who had never had the opportunity. She said, "This moment is so much bigger than me. This is for every nameless, faceless woman of color who now has a chance tonight because this door has been opened."[35]
As Bond girl Giacinta 'Jinx' Johnson in the 2002 blockbuster Die Another Day, Berry recreated a scene from Dr. No, emerging from the surf to be greeted by James Bond as Ursula Andress had 40 years earlier.[36] Lindy Hemming, costume designer on Die Another Day, had insisted that Berry wear a bikini and knife as a homage.[37] Berry has said of the scene: "It's splashy", "exciting", "sexy", "provocative" and "it will keep me still out there after winning an Oscar".[31] The bikini scene was shot in Cadiz; the location was reportedly cold and windy, and footage has been released of Berry wrapped in thick towels in between takes to try to stay warm.[38] According to an ITV news poll, Jinx was voted the fourth toughest girl on screen of all time.[39] Berry was hurt during filming when debris from a smoke grenade flew into her eye. It was removed in a 30-minute operation.[40] After Berry won the Academy Award, rewrites were commissioned to give her more screentime for X2.[41]
She starred in the psychological thriller Gothika opposite Robert Downey, Jr. in November 2003, during which she broke her arm in a scene with Downey, who twisted her arm too hard. Production was halted for eight weeks.[42] It was a moderate hit at the United States box office, taking in $60 million; it earned another $80 million abroad.[43] Berry appeared in the nu metal band Limp Bizkit's music video for "Behind Blue Eyes" for the motion picture soundtrack for the film. The same year, she was named #1 in FHMs 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll.[44]
Berry starred as the title role in the film Catwoman,[43] for which she received US$12.5 million. An over-US$100 million movie; it grossed only US$17 million on its first weekend,[45] and is widely regarded by critics as one of the worst films ever made.[46] She was awarded the Worst Actress Razzie Award for her performance; she appeared at the ceremony to accept the award in person (while holding her Oscar from Monster's Ball)[47] with a sense of humor, considering it an experience of the "rock bottom" in order to be "at the top".[48] Holding the Academy Award in one hand and the Razzie in the other she said, "I never in my life thought that I would be up here, winning a Razzie! It's not like I ever aspired to be here, but thank you. When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner."[32]

Her next film appearance was in the Oprah Winfrey-produced ABC television movie Their Eyes Were Watching God (2005), an adaptation of Zora Neale Hurston's novel, with Berry portraying a free-spirited woman whose unconventional sexual mores upset her 1920s contemporaries in a small community. She received her second Primetime Emmy Award nomination for her role. Also in 2005, she served as an executive producer in Lackawanna Blues, and landed her voice for the character of Cappy, one of the many mechanical beings in the animated feature Robots.[49]
In the thriller Perfect Stranger (2007), Berry starred with Bruce Willis, playing a reporter who goes undercover to uncover the killer of her childhood friend. The film grossed a modest US$73 million worldwide, and received lukewarm reviews from critics, who felt that despite the presence of Berry and Willis, it is "too convoluted to work, and features a twist ending that's irritating and superfluous".[50] Her next 2007 film release was the drama Things We Lost in the Fire, co-starring Benicio del Toro, where she took on the role of a recent widow befriending the troubled friend of her late husband. The film was the first time in which she worked with a female director, Danish Susanne Bier, giving her a new feeling of "thinking the same way", which she appreciated.[51] While the film made US$8.6 million in its global theatrical run,[52] it garnered positive reviews from writers; The Austin Chronicle found the film to be "an impeccably constructed and perfectly paced drama of domestic and internal volatility" and felt that "Berry is brilliant here, as good as she's ever been".[53]
In April 2007, Berry was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of the Kodak Theatre at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard for her contributions to the film industry,[54] and by the end of the decade, she established herself as one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, earning an estimated $10 million per film.[55]
In the independent drama Frankie and Alice (2010), Berry played the leading role of a young multiracial American woman with dissociative identity disorder struggling against her alter personality to retain her true self. The film received a limited theatrical release, to a mixed critical response. The Hollywood Reporter nevertheless described the film as "a well-wrought psychological drama that delves into the dark side of one woman's psyche" and found Berry to be "spellbinding" in it.[56] She earned the African-American Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress and a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress - Motion Picture Drama.[57] She next made part of a large ensemble cast in Garry Marshall's romantic comedy New Year's Eve (2011), with Michelle Pfeiffer, Jessica Biel, Robert De Niro, Josh Duhamel, Zac Efron, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Sofía Vergara, among many others. In the film, she took on the supporting role of a nurse befriending a man in the final stages (De Niro). While the film was panned by critics, it made US$142 million worldwide.[58]
In 2012, Berry starred as an expert diver tutor alongside then-husband Olivier Martinez in the little-seen thriller Dark Tide,[59] and led an ensemble cast opposite Tom Hanks and Jim Broadbent in The Wachowskis's epic science fiction film Cloud Atlas (2012), with each of the actors playing six different characters across a period of five centuries.[60] Budgeted at US$128.8 million, Cloud Atlas made US$130.4 million worldwide,[61] and garnered polarized reactions from both critics and audiences.[62]
Berry appeared in a segment of the independent anthology comedy Movie 43 (2013), which the Chicago Sun-Times called "the Citizen Kane of awful".[63][64] Berry found greater success with her next performance, as a 9-1-1 operator receiving a call from a girl kidnapped by a serial killer, in the crime thriller The Call (2013). Berry was drawn to "the idea of being a part of a movie that was so empowering for women. We don't often get to play roles like this, where ordinary people become heroic and do something extraordinary."[65]Manohla Dargis of The New York Times found the film to be "an effectively creepy thriller",[66] while reviewer Dwight Brown felt that "the script gives Berry a blue-collar character she can make accessible, vulnerable and gutsy[...]".[67]The Call was a sleeper hit, grossing US$68.6 million around the globe.[68]
In 2014, Berry signed on to star and serve as a co-executive producer in CBS drama series Extant,[69] where she took on the role of Molly Woods, an astronaut who struggles to reconnect with her husband and android son after spending 13 months in space. The show ran for two seasons until 2015, receiving largely positive reviews from critics.[70][71][72]USA Today remarked: "She [Halle Berry] brings a dignity and gravity to Molly, a projected intelligence that allows you to buy her as an astronaut and to see what has happened to her as frightening rather than ridiculous. Berry's all in, and you float along".[73] Also in 2014, Berry launched a new production company, 606 Films, with producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. It is named after the Anti-Paparazzi Bill, SB 606, that the actress pushed for and which was signed into law by California Governor Jerry Brown in the fall of 2013. The new company emerged as part of a deal for Berry to work in Extant.[74]
In the stand-up comedy concert film Kevin Hart: What Now? (2016), Berry appeared as herself, opposide Kevin Hart, attending a poker game event that goes horribly wrong.[75]Kidnap, an abduction thriller Berry filmed in 2014, was released in 2017.[76] In the film, she starred as a diner waitress tailing a vehicle when her son is kidnapped by its occupants. Kidnap grossed US$34 million and garnered mixed reviews from writers, who felt that it "strays into poorly scripted exploitation too often to take advantage of its pulpy premise -- or the still-impressive talents of [Berry]."[77] She next played an agent employed by a secret American spy organisation in the action comedy sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), as part of an ensemble cast, consisting of Colin Firth, Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, Julianne Moore, and Elton John. While critical response towards the film was mixed, it made US$414 million worldwide.[78]
Alongside Daniel Craig, Berry starred as a working-class mother during the 1992 Los Angeles riots in Deniz Gamze Ergüven's drama Kings (2017). The film found a limited theatrical release following its initial screening at the Toronto International Film Festival,[79] and as part of an overall lukewarm reception,[80]Variety noted: "It should be said that Berry has given some of the best and worst performances of the past quarter-century, but this is perhaps the only one that swings to both extremes in the same movie".[81] She played Sofia, an assassin, in the film John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, which was released on May 17, 2019 by Lionsgate.[82]
In 2017, she provided uncredited vocals to the song, "Calling All My Lovelies" by Bruno Mars from his third studio album, 24K Magic.[83]
Berry competed against James Corden in the first rap battle on the first episode of TBS's Drop the Mic, originally aired on October 24, 2017.[84]
She is, as of February 2019, executive producer of the BET television series Boomerang, based on the film in which she starred. The series premiered February 12, 2019.[85]
Berry made her directorial debut with the feature Bruised in which she plays a disgraced MMA fighter named Jackie Justice, who reconnects with her estranged son. Filming began in 2019 with shooting in Atlantic City and Newark.[86] The film's world premiere was held at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 2020.[87] Even Netflix acquired distribution rights to the film.[88]
Along with Pierce Brosnan, Cindy Crawford, Jane Seymour, Dick Van Dyke, Téa Leoni, and Daryl Hannah, Berry successfully fought in 2006 against the Cabrillo Port Liquefied Natural Gas facility that was proposed off the coast of Malibu.[89] Berry said, "I care about the air we breathe, I care about the marine life and the ecosystem of the ocean."[90] In May 2007, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the facility.[91]Hasty Pudding Theatricals gave her its 2006 Woman of The Year award.[92] Berry took part in a nearly 2,000-house cell-phone bank campaign for Barack Obama in February 2008.[93] In April 2013, she appeared in a video clip for Gucci's "Chime for Change" campaign that aims to raise funds and awareness of women's issues in terms of education, health, and justice.[94] In August 2013, Berry testified alongside Jennifer Garner before the California State Assembly's Judiciary Committee in support of a bill that would protect celebrities' children from harassment by photographers.[95] The bill passed in September.[96]
Berry was ranked No. 1 on People "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" list in 2003 after making the top ten seven times and appeared No. 1 on FHM "100 Sexiest Women in the World" the same year.[97][98] She was named Esquire magazine's "Sexiest Woman Alive" in October 2008, about which she stated: "I don't know exactly what it means, but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I'll take it."[99][100]Men's Health ranked her at No. 35 on their "100 Hottest Women of All-Time" list.[101] In 2009, she was voted #23 on Empire's 100 Sexiest Film Stars.[102] The same year, rapper Hurricane Chris released a song entitled "Halle Berry (She's Fine)", extolling Berry's beauty and sex appeal.[103] At the age of 42 (in 2008), she was named the "Sexiest Black Woman" by Access Hollywood's "TV One Access" survey.[104][105][106][107] Born to an African-American father and a white mother, Berry has stated that her biracial background was "painful and confusing" when she was a young woman, and she made the decision early on to identify as a black woman because she knew that was how she would be perceived.[2]
Berry dated Chicago dentist John Ronan from March 1989 to October 1991.[108] In November 1993, Ronan sued Berry for $80,000 in what he claimed were unpaid loans to help launch her career.[109] Berry contended that the money was a gift, and a judge dismissed the case because Ronan did not list Berry as a debtor when he filed for bankruptcy in 1992.[14] According to Berry, a beating from a former abusive boyfriend during the filming of The Last Boy Scout in 1991 punctured her eardrum and caused her to lose eighty percent of her hearing in her left ear.[14] Berry has never named the abuser but has said that he is someone well known in Hollywood. In 2004, former boyfriend Christopher Williams accused Wesley Snipes of being responsible for the incident, saying "I'm so tired of people thinking I'm the guy [who did it]. Wesley Snipes busted her eardrum, not me."[110]
Berry first saw baseball player David Justice on TV playing in an MTV celebrity baseball game in February 1992. When a reporter from Justice's hometown of Cincinnati told her that Justice was a fan, Berry gave her phone number to the reporter to give to Justice.[14] Berry married Justice shortly after midnight on January 1, 1993.[111] Following their separation in February 1996, Berry stated publicly that she was so depressed that she considered taking her own life.[112][113] Berry and Justice were officially divorced on June 24, 1997.[114]
Berry married her second husband, singer-songwriter Eric Benét, on January 24, 2001, following a two-year courtship.[31][115] Benét underwent treatment for sex addiction in 2002,[116] and by early October 2003 they had separated,[115] with the divorce finalized on January 3, 2005.[117][118]
In November 2005, Berry began dating French Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, whom she met at a Versace photoshoot.[119] Berry gave birth to their daughter in March 2008.[120] On April 30, 2010, Berry and Aubry announced their relationship had ended some months earlier.[121] In January 2011, Berry and Aubry became involved in a highly publicized custody battle,[122][123][124] centered primarily on Berry's desire to move with their daughter from Los Angeles, where Berry and Aubry resided, to France, the home of French actor Olivier Martinez, whom Berry had started dating in 2010 after they met while filming Dark Tide in South Africa.[125] Aubry objected to the move on the grounds that it would interfere with their joint custody arrangement.[126] In November 2012, a judge denied Berry's request to move the couple's daughter to France in light of Aubry's objections.[127] Less than two weeks later, on November 22, 2012, Aubry and Martinez were both treated at a hospital for injuries after engaging in a physical altercation at Berry's residence. Martinez performed a citizen's arrest on Aubry, and because it was considered a domestic violence incident, was granted a temporary emergency protective order preventing Aubry from coming within 100 yards of Berry, Martinez, and the child with whom he shares custody with Berry, until November 29, 2012.[128] In turn, Aubry obtained a temporary restraining order against Martinez on November 26, 2012, asserting that the fight began when Martinez threatened to kill Aubry if he did not allow the couple to move to France.[129] Leaked court documents included photos showing significant injuries to Aubry's face, which were widely displayed in the media.[130] On November 29, 2012, Berry's lawyer announced that Berry and Aubry had reached an amicable custody agreement in court.[131] In June 2014, a Superior Court ruling called for Berry to pay Aubry $16,000 a month in child support (around 200k/year) as well as a retroactive payment of $115,000 and a sum of $300,000 for Aubry's attorney fees.[132]
Berry and Martinez confirmed their engagement in March 2012,[133][134] and married in France on July 13, 2013.[135] In October 2013, Berry gave birth to their son.[136] In 2015, after two years of marriage, the couple announced they were divorcing.[137] The divorce was reported to have been finalized in December 2016,[138] however, as of November 2020, the case is ongoing.[139]

Talks and Tales: The Childhood Writing of Christine Orr
Edinburgh author, Christine Orr (1899-1963), published her first novel, 'The Glorious Thing', at the age of just 19 and 2019 marks the centenary of the publication. She went on to write poems, plays and a further 17 novels, as well as working for BBC Radio. Orr also founded three theatre groups in Edinburgh and her company, The Christine Orr Players, became known as one of the 'uninvited eight' who performed 'on the fringes' of the first International Festival and initiated the Festival Fringe.
For the first time, some of Christine Orr's childhood writing and personal possessions from the Museum of Childhood's collection will be on display, highlighting the precocious talent of this once well-known writer.

Review: Frozen warms up everyone on ice spectacular
Frozen's Elsa creates sparks at Disney On Ice
Dave Craven
Published: 10:24 Updated: 10:51 Wednesday 25 November 2015
ANY mention of Disney instantly brings up magical images and connotations.
Add the words 'On Ice' in there and that creates a whole new raft of possibilities.
That colourful, delightful show skated into Sheffield's Motorpoint Arena last week and it is hard to decipher who enjoyed it most - the masses of wide-eyed, spellbound kids seeing all their favourite characters come to life or the grown-ups you notice singing and tapping along to every classic song that accompanies the action on the rink.
And what action there is, all brilliantly staged and choreographed, from hosts Mickey and Minnie Mouse's initial entrance to the magnificent denouement involving many of the cast from that behemoth Frozen.
This is the first time Disney On Ice have incorporated the uber-successful Frozen characters into their show and, undoubtedly, the arrival of the princess sisters Elsa and Anna is the pinnacle of this performance.
It is no surprise - the film is made for this sort of thing - and the ubiquitous Let it Go is a clear crowd pleaser as snow falls and terrific lighting creates a dazzling Arendelle
However, it is only one of four acts each of which delivers its own magic.
The first half involves Toy Story - the marching soldiers, one spectacularly 'flying' down onto the ice, are great - with Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Barbie and Ken all in fine form before, in another blaze of colour, The Little Mermaid's Princess Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian the crab take us through to the break.
Next up is Disney Pixar's Cars which, considering the sheer size of the automobiles on show, is remarkable for the manner in which the sequences are so perfectly synchronized around the ice.
But, unsurprisingly, Frozen, with the dastardly Prince Hans, ever-amusing Kristoff and crowd favourite Olaf all appearing - granted, there was mutterings about reindeer Sven's whereabouts - with those two aforementioned stars, is what leaves everyone impressed most.
The show is back for another run in Sheffield in December 2016, an ideal Christmas present perhaps...

If bling's not your thing then our Pentanque bowl-shaped white pendant light most definitely is. Crafted from spun steel, this rough textured chunky light brings a stylish yet earthy feel to an interior.
This has got be one of our most touchy-feely lights. But, unlike the Umage feather pendant light which is all soft and wispy, the Petanque white pendant light is rugged and coarse to the touch, which gives it an amazing matt appearance.
Despite its chunky feel, it's still incredibly elegant with its fluid curves, matching white ceiling rose and contrasting black wire.
So where to hang it? Two or three over a kitchen island would be spot on. But it also makes a superb single ceiling pendant in a hallway, dining room, study or bedroom. Basically anywhere inside, except the bathroom!
Not only does this bowl-shaped white pendant light come in two sizes, it comes in three more sublime colours – black, pink and grey. Feel free to mix and match if you're in an eclectic kinda mood!

Een computer-on-module (COM) is een type singleboardcomputer die is ontworpen om te worden ingeplugd in een hoofdsysteem of backplane als systeemuitbreiding.

De computer-on-module is een extensie van een system-on-a-chip en system-in-package, en ligt tussen een volledige computer en microcontroller in.

Ontwerp
COMs zijn complete ingebedde systemen op een enkele printplaat. Het ontwerp draait om een microprocessor met geheugen, invoer/uitvoer-controllers, en andere mogelijkheden die nodig zijn om een functionele computer te zijn op het bord. In tegenstelling tot een singleboardcomputer ontbreken bij een COM vaak standaard connectors voor invoer/uitvoer om randapparatuur direct te koppelen aan het bord.

Een COM is vaak gekoppeld op een draagbord waarmee de databus wordt uitgebreid naar standaard connectie voor randapparatuur.

Een computer-on-module biedt een computersysteem in een relatief klein formaat, en kan worden gebruikt in kleine of gespecialiseerde toepassingen waarbij een laag energieverbruik of klein formaat noodzakelijk is voor ingebedde systemen.

Veelgebruikte toepassingen zijn voor industriële automatisering, autotechniek, medisch, robotica en detailhandel.

Newington man accused of exposing himself to deli workers in Cromwell, Berlin
Jeff Mill
Henry Myslak
CROMWELL -- A 47-year-old Newington man has been arrested and charged with twice exposing himself to a supermarket deli worker.
Police said they were able to identify Henry Myslak as their suspect after he allegedly also exposed himself to a deli worker at the Stop & Shop store in Berlin, too.
Police were called to the local stop & Shop outlet at 195 West St., in early April, after an employee complained that a man had exposed himself to her on March 31, Capt. Edwin L. Kosinski Jr. said on Monday.
Under questioning by police, the deli worker said the man had also exposed himself to her just after the first of the year, Kosinski said.
Police began an investigation, But, Kosinski said, "Stop & Shop surveillance video was not helpful" in identifying the suspect.
Police did learn that the suspect was a regular in the store on Saturday and Sunday mornings, Kosinski said. And, the captain said, store security was notified to be on the lookout for the suspect.
The break police needed came at the berlin store, however, when the suspect, later identified as Myslak, allegedly exposed himself to a deli worker there, Kosinski said.
Myslak was identified through a joint effort by Stop & Shop security personnel and berlin police, Kosinski said.
With his identity established, Cromwell Police applied for and were granted an arrest warrant.
Myslak surrendered to police at headquarters just before 2 p.m. Monday, Kosinski said.
Myslak was arrested on the warrant and charged with two counts of public indecency and two counts of disorderly conduct. He was later released on $5,000 bond for an Aug. 14 appearance in Middlesex Superior Court.
Myslak was then turned over to Berlin police, who arrested him on similar charges for the incident in their town, Kosinski said.

Ontario will consult parents of children with autism starting on May 1 after months of controversy over changes to the government's original program.
The announcement comes on World Autism Awareness Day and a day after changes that the government made to its autism program came into effect. It also follows a backlash over those changes.
Lisa MacLeod, minister of children, community and social services, told reporters in Toronto that the consultations will help inform the government on ways it can better support children and teenagers with autism who have complex needs.
She called it an "important listening exercise."
MacLeod was flanked by Health Minister Christine Elliott on her right and Education Minister Lisa Thompson on her left as she made the announcement on Tuesday at Toronto's Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.
The consultations, which will last a month, will be conducted through an online survey, telephone town halls and roundtables held by MPPs in their constituencies. She invited all MPPs, not only Progressive Conservatives, to hold the roundtables.
MacLeod said additional needs-based supports for children with complex needs could include more direct funding.
"We have heard from parents and we want to take the time to listen very carefully to their best advice on a needs-based system," she said.
"Today, we are indicating we will take a long, hard look at this, and as part of our consultations, we will seek input and advice on how to best integrate these additional supports in the health care and education system to better support Ontario families."
MacLeod said the government is setting up a new advisory panel that will be made up of parents with lived experience, adults with autism and experts in such fields as psychology, behavioural analysis, rehabilitation services, education, developmental pediatrics and research.
The panel will review the results of the survey, telephone town halls and roundtables and give advice on a new "needs assessment" process.
Asked how the government will work to restore trust with parents of children with autism, MacLeod said: "Our motivation has always been to ensure that every child that has autism in the province of Ontario receives support from their Ontario government. Our motivation on that has always been pure."
"We've been given a great deal more flexibility to enhance this program, up to doubling the program. And right now, we're listening to people."
The original Ontario Autism Program announced in February capped the amounts families could receive at $20,000 a year for kids under six, with funding dropping to $5,000 per year until they were 18.
Faced with sustained protests by parents, MacLeod announced changes to the program, including eliminating an income testing aspect to the funding.
She said the new program, which takes needs-based supports into account, could cost up to double the original $321-million budget.
Autism Ontario has been asked to help the minister conduct the online survey and will review questions asked of parents, she added.


Thank you for reading my posts these last two years, for taking time out of your day to get to know my family and me.
Blogging has opened up new worlds for me. I now follow 20 fellow bloggers from different parts of the world. Every time I read one of your posts, I can feel my brain accumulating healthy layers of insights! Sometimes I laugh or cry. Sometimes, as a good Quaker, I'm just silent! I am grateful to have joined the blogging community.
I also have been able to stay in touch with new and old friends in what I consider a more meaningful way than Facebook posts. And I've gotten to know my husband and our daughter better as they often are the subjects of my blog posts!
Writing has always rescued me. I first had a poem published when I was 7 years old. By the time I was graduated from high school, I had been harassed verbally and physically every day for several years, but I had also won 15 or so national writing awards, most of them for poetry. I even had poems shown at museums and statewide arts exhibits.
In many ways, my writing voice has often been more confident than my speaking voice. I've written and spoken English and German all my life. As a gay man of my generation, for decades I could trust my written more than my spoken words to convey the me I wanted to convey. Fortunately, for the past 20 years, I've embraced who I am even without feeling like I have to win an award to be accepted.
In my heart of hearts I've known I'm not as natural or gifted a writer as many people are, but I'm pretty determined, and I love consistency!
Which is why in three weeks I will look to finish my 22nd marathon, why making deadlines has always felt good, why I'm starting my third year of writing this blog with hope.
Like most of us, I have felt time rushing by as I've gotten older. For the first year of this blog, I wrote every day except weekends and holidays; in the second year, just two days a week as I juggled other priorities such as taking a more active role in raising our young daughter and becoming a better friend (and yes, making work goals!).
In my third year, I will endeavor to write a poem a week as my post, although I'm stating in writing that I will occasionally go back to prose! I feel the new format for this blog will help me become a better poet because it will enforce a discipline for which I could otherwise make excuses: I had too many work deadlines, for example, or my daughter's homework took over our lives this week, or I was just too tired.
My friend didn't run marathons or raise children, but his message has stayed with me. I'm going to honor him in a modified way: at least one poem a week. I hope you will like the poetry, dear readers! Please feel free to give me your feedback. Thank you for being part of my life and for letting me be part of yours.


Since 2002, the R&D policy of SOPREMA, highly oriented toward sustainable development, has resulted in a limitation of its environmental impact. This was achieved by the use of renewable resources in its production and plants and to a safety and health orientated innovation policy. Since its creation, SOPREMA has always set high priorities in terms of safety of people, installations and buildings.
Over the past decades, analyzing customer needs associated with high-performing R&D services have enabled the development of various innovations following an eco-design rule.
SOPREMA is focused on optimizing performance while significantly reducing environmental impact, by preserving mankind's health and safety.
This environmental-responsibility is expressed in the appropriate location of its plants and specific applications practices such as: high technology equipment, rational organization of logistics, overcoming wastage, use of renewable resources, waste reduction and recovery limiting emissions and selecting respectful suppliers, on which SOPREMA has relied on for many years.
SOPREMA created the "eco struction" label to facilitate identification of specific "sustainable development" products and services. It is a precious identification tool when it comes to selecting environmental criteria (for HQE projects).
The SOPREMA Group makes significant investments for innovation. It has today a new challenge: a 65% reduction of the waterproofing products' dependence on petroleum-based materials.
SOPREMA's Research and Development activity focuses on the substitution of petroleum based raw materials by substances coming from either recycled or renewable resources for economical, sustainable development and strategic reasons.
To reach this goal, a huge R&D collaborative project named Mutatio was implemented by SOPREMA, 2 academic and 3 industrial partners for a 5-year-period. It shows the capacity fot joint industry and universities partnerships in order to find lasting solutions for tomorrow's issues.

14110: Sawyers Road to Lion Street heritage trail project
Railway Reserves Heritage Trail in Mount Helena has been identified as an essential component of any biodiversity project in the Eastern Hills as it has the potential to act as a conduit for the spread of invasive weeds.
This project will rehabilitate bushland and adjoining reserves along the trail between Sawyers Road to Lion Street through weed control and revegetation. Several Friends Groups are engaged in the same work along other parts of the trail and their collective vision is to have the whole system of Heritage Trails weed free and degraded areas revegetated.
Friends of Pioneer Park
March 2015 - June 2016
Mount Helena; Shire of Mundaring; Swan Region; Avon Region
Purpose of project
This project is a continuation of previous revegetation and weed removal efforts to restore the integrity of the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail in Mount Helena and a valuable wildlife corridor.

Sure Sara S. these illustrations are prime examples of Government gone wild without sensitivity of "We The People" for the purpose of fulfilling an agenda that will not serve us. It reminds me of my bully friend of the past agitating me to the point that I rose up one day and knocked him silly. "We The People" have to use more wisdom today than I used then. All is not lost if "We The People" come to realize that every attempt planned by the Left for use against Us cost MONEY. "We The People" have the MONEY.

HIs death is sad news, even given his long life, well-lived. He was not only an author who wrote excellent novels, both in terms of well-crafted plots and superb prose. He was an astute and often merciless commentator on politicians and other powerful people, and on the abuses and temptations of power. At the same time, his fiction was always informed by a profound and sympathetic understanding of human frailty and flaws. This comes through in every interview with that I have seen or read. His own memoir, The Pigeon Tunnel, is a fascinating and illuminating read which I thoroughly recommend. Is it truthful? I think so. Is it the whole truth? I doubt that.
A while ago, I was delighted to learn that the twenty-something son of a friend had recently discovered Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Not only was he now reading every Le Carré he could get his hands on, he was recommending them to his friends, who rapidly became fans. Their reading experience is necessarily very different to my own, when I was reading those novels in my teens and twenties. If anything, this new generation is getting even more out of these books than I did. As well as insights into what makes men and women tick (and sometimes go off bang), these novels are period pieces, showing them a divided and suspicious world that passed away before they were born. A world that nevertheless still influences media magnates and politicians whose decisions today can be coloured by old prejudices and preconceptions. My friend's son finds that highly illuminating.
There is an added personal poignancy to this news in the week of my stepfather's funeral*. He and I got on well enough when he and my mother married, but with a background in academia and industry, he unsurprisingly found dealing with an adolescent girl baffling. Add to that, we were very different people; he was a scientist and I was determined to study history. We found no common ground in his passions for sport and steam trains or in my enthusiasm for SF and fantasy. Then the BBC broadcast their celebrated adaptation of Tinker, Tailor… Our shared enthusiasm for the programme, and then for Le Carré's novels, made a connection between us that I value.
* He had been ill for some while, so we could prepare ourselves up to a point. However, the end came more swiftly than expected. So this cruel and difficult year ends on a deeply sad note for me and my family.

Rita Ora wows in red thigh-high patent boots for new music video
Lauren Clark
British singer, songwriter and actress
Rita Ora wore some striking footwear to film her latest music video. (Getty Images)
She has her pick of designer fashion – but even Rita Ora seemed in awe of the striking footwear she got to wear for her latest music video.
The singer, 31, joked that she had fallen for the pair of red patent-leather thigh-high boots that she donned for filming, along with a high-necked black body and fluffy navy coat.
Ora posed for a post on Instagram while on the set of the video for new song Follow Me.
Captioning a carousel of images, she wrote: "Always thinking about these boots."
A post shared by RITA ORA (@ritaora)
Ora's striking footwear is by designer label Saint Laurent, and cost £1,405 on Net-A-Porter.
The Italian-made boots, which also come in black, are from the luxury French brand's Autumn/Winter 2020 collection.
They feature 110mm heels and have a "close, leg-lengthening fit".
Social media followers singled out the boots for praise, with one describing them with 'flame' emojis, and another commenting "THE BOOOOTS".
It comes after Ora recently revealed that she previously mistook her panic attacks for asthma after finding herself struggling to breathe.
The singer opened up about how her anxiety dates back to her teens when her mother Vera was told she had breast cancer.
She told The Independent: "I went to the doctors. I was like, 'I think I have asthma.'
"I didn't realise it was a panic attack. I think the word 'panic attack' freaked me out."

There's no shortage of motoring anniversaries being celebrated in 2019, with some much-loved classic models – as well as major manufacturers – marking big birthdays this year. We've picked ten of the most significant... but which one will you be celebrating?
BMC's new Mini created a buzz in 1959 thanks to its innovative design, with an astonishing amount of space crammed into its 10-feet-long bodywork – aided by front-wheel drive and a transversely-mounted engine. The original Mini went on to become a fashion icon of the '60s, and remained in production for a remarkable 41 years. The marque is still with us, of course, although no longer is it aimed at the 'cheap and cheerful' city car market. As for the classics of 1959-2000, they remain as popular as ever – with plenty of 60th anniversary celebrations being planned for 2019.


MIAMI (CBSNewYork/AP) — A newly-installed pedestrian bridge collapsed Thursday afternoon near Florida International University in the Miami area.
Authorities said at least four people were killed when the structure fell around 1:30 p.m., crushing eight cars.
The collapse triggered a panic among witnesses. Some, like Isabella Carrasco, had just driven beneath the bridge.
More than 100 firefighters and K-9 units raced through rubble, searching for survivors. Authorities ordered helicopters and other emergency vehicles away from the scene in order to listen for possible cries from people trapped below.
"We're going to continue to search this pile until we're sure there are no other victims," Dave Downey, of the Miami-Dade fire department, said.
The 950-ton span connecting Florida International University to the city of Sweetwater had just been installed Saturday in a huge celebration.
The university tweeted out a time-lapse of the installation.
"We are shocked and saddened about the tragic events unfolding at the FIU-Sweetwater pedestrian bridge. At this time we are still involved in rescue efforts and gathering information. We are working closely with authorities and first responders on the scene," FIU said in a statement.
"What was soon to become an iconic staple part in the connectivity between the city and the university, has actually turned out to be a national tragedy," said Sweetwater Mayor Orlando Lopez.
The $14 million project was being constructed using something called the "accelerated bridge construction method," which is supposed to make it safer for workers, pedestrians and commuters. The bridge was designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane.
A YouTube video depicts what the completed design would have looked like.
CBS News has learned workers may have been performing stress tests on the bridge at the time of the accident.
Late Thursday night, Sen. Marco Rubio offered a possible explanation on Twitter.
"The cables that suspend the #Miami bridge had loosened & the engineering firm ordered that they be tightened. They were being tightened when it collapsed today," he posted.
The National Transportation Safety Board has launched an investigation.
"The new UniversityCity Bridge, which was under construction, experienced a catastrophic collapse causing injuries and loss of life. MCM is a family business and we are all devastated and doing everything we can to assist," its statement read in part.
CBS News has also learned both companies have been accused of unsafe practices in the past, where there were injuries but no deaths.
"I know we're going to all want to do our best to find out exactly what happened here, and we'll do that in a transparent matter. If anybody's done anything wrong, we'll hold them accountable," Florida Gov. Rick Scott said.
According to its website, FIGG engineering also designed a couple big projects in the Tri-State Area, including the AirTrain railway bridge at John F. Kennedy International Airport and the Victory Bridge in Sayreville, New Jersey.


I got this large ginger jar as a birthday gift and planned for it to go here on the chest.
I haven't done all that much with the classic blue and white in my decorating but I've always admired it. I rummaged around the house and found a couple more blue and white pieces and created this vignette.
A little more Asian influence.
I ordered the large ginger jar from The Enchanted Home after I saw she was having a sale. The little blue lidded jar came from Bombay long ago. I believe it was sold for putting potpourri in. The top would allow the aroma to come through. I've put a tea light inside of it and which has a nice affect too!
In a quest to add some blue and white several years back I ordered these dishes which are labeled Andrea by Sadek. I found them in my dish closet and had forgotten about them!
I played with the arrangement several different ways and finally decided this was the best look.
What is it about blue and white together. It just makes you feel happy. I want to find a spot in my house for some blue and white. Have a great week.
Looks lovely! I've always really liked blue and white - like my Liberty Blue dishes. You've made a really pretty vignette to refresh the tabletop.
That small plate looks a lot like Ralph Lauren's "Mandarin" design! It's beautiful! I'm trying to go blue and white in my dining room this summer, and this is inspiring.
Looks great Liz and I am loving the mirror too!
