A Blue Pearl Zoltán Erika 6 nagylemeze és egyben első olyan kiadványa amit Erica, majd később Erica C. néven jelentetett meg. Az album munkálatai Londonban folytak. A dalok a teljesen magyar nyelvű Egyedül című szám kivételével magyar és angol nyelven íródtak oly módon, hogy a verse és bridge részek magyarul, míg a refrén angol nyelven szólalnak meg. Az első olyan album, amire a korábbi 9 számot tartalmazó lemezektől eltérően 11 dal, pontosan 10 dal és a Mindent szabad kettő verzióban került fel. A lemezzel nem titkolt vágya volt az énekesnőnek és a kiadónak is, hogy Európa nyugati részén is ismert legyen Zoltán Erika.

The Language of Food.
September 16, 2014 by languagehat 29 Comments
A NY Times story by Jennifer Schuessler (thanks for the link, Bonnie!) draws attention to a new book, The Language of Food: A Linguist Reads the Menu by Dan Jurafsky, a linguistics professor at Stanford, which sounds fascinating:
In his book, Mr. Jurafsky traces the gradual fading of French as the lingua franca of "fancy" American restaurants. "Entree" has gone all but extinct at the high end, though there are some holdouts like "jus," used at Root & Bone to describe the silky chicken gravy served alongside "Grandma Daisy's Angel Biscuits," dipping-sauce style.
The "Southern Peach Caprese," on the other hand, built around an oozing ball of fried pimento cheese, testified to Italian food's rising fortunes. "Caprese has become such a common word, we can now use it as a metaphor for something else," he said. "You can expect your customer to know what it is."
It also mentions Jurafsky's blog The Language of Food, apparently newly revived after several years' hiatus (which gives me hope for MMcM's Polyglot Vegetarian); I've added it to my RSS feed and am hoping for more discussions like this from the latest post, Tea if by Sea:
The story begins where the far southwest of China's Yunnan province meets northeastern Burma and Thailand, somewhere between the Mekong, Irawaddy, and Salween rivers. The tea plant, camellia sinensis, is native to a wide area that includes this region, and it was probably somewhere near here that it was domesticated. A number of linguistic groups arrived in this region very early, first speakers of Mon-Khmer (a proto-language that is the ancestor of Cambodian, Vietnamese and many smaller languages scattered around southeast Asia), and then Tibeto-Burman (the family that includes Burmese) and Tai-Kadai (the ancestor of Thai and other smaller languages). Tea plays many important roles in this region; as a beverage, a salad, a ritual item, and regional groups in northern Laos or Thailand even ferment tea leaves in bamboo tubes, sprinkle them with salt and chew them like plugs of chewing tobacco.
Victor H. Mair and Erling Hoh postulate in their terrific The True History of Tea (check out Appendix C which has the linguistic details) that the earliest Mon-Khmer used a word like *la (the * means a word in a hypothetical proto-language) to mean 'tea' or 'leaf'. As other groups like the Tibeto-Burmans moved into the area, they borrowed *la; that's the origin of the la ('tea/leaf') in Burmese tea laphet. Mair and Hoh postulate that early Chinese speakers borrowed the word *la too as they immigrated south into Yunnan, and over time *la changed to *lra and then, by sometime around 500 CE, the Middle Chinese form *dra.
For the next thousand years, tea culture and the word for tea developed in China. Tea slowly spread to neighboring countries, as the early Chinese powdered tea traditions ritualized in the matcha of the Japanese tea ceremony and yak-butter tea became a staple in Tibet. As the Chinese language diversified, words for tea began to diversify as well, becoming cha in Mandarin and Cantonese and te in the Southern Min dialect spoken in Fujian and Taiwan.
Roughly around the turn of the 17th century, tea began to spread around the globe, and languages around the world borrowed the word from Chinese, in two distinct forms. Some languages have a word starting with "t" like our tea (and German Tee and Spanish té), while others have a word starting with "ch" like cha in Japanese and Portuguese, or chai in Russian, Mongolian, and Hindi.
There are even maps, which gives bonus points as far as I'm concerned.
" Caprese has become such a common word, we can now use it as a metaphor for something else,"
Really? I even speak Italian, and I have no idea what a "Southern Peach Caprese" on a menu is supposed to be. "Caprese" simply means "from Capri". In the food world I thought it was associated with the traditional Neapolitan dish of mozarella, tomatoes, basil and oil. None of which is fried or oozing. What is the metaphor meant to be? Are American gourmands understanding "Caprese" to mean "a combination of fruit and cheese"?
Ø says
And all this time I thought "caprese" meant "goat cheese"!
Stefan Holm says
Names and origins of food is illusory. Recently I read an article about the dishes served at the nowadays myriads of 'exotic' restaurants we can choose. They are said to be a proof of our multi-cultural society and the influence from immigrants. The author however showed that practically none of these dishes are original but has passed through New York City, where they have been conformed to western palate.
Most people who have visited the alleged countries of origin (outside the tourist centers) can verify this. Like my younger son's friend who after a holiday abroad in a somewhat heedless way stated that Greek food tastes better in Sweden than in Greece. O, sancta simplicitas!
I too was struck by the statement about "Caprese." The Caprese salad is pretty well known, but I don't think I've ever seen "Caprese" used in any generalized sense. Nor could I see any obvious similarity, except the presence of cheese, between the standard salad and the described peach dish.
I was perplexed by the Caprese thing too, but I figured it was just that I was out of touch with the contemporary dining-out world. Glad to know it's not just me!
@ Ø :
Goat cheese in Italian is caprino. Pull that out next time you're hanging with foodies.
As I like to point out, ris de veau à la financière is not the smile of a calf prepared by a female banker. I have even seen it (as Dr. Google will confirm) written riz de veau etc., which I suppose would be a veal dish with rice. (There is also à la Robespierre, which has sliced sweetbreads.)
For me, one of the delights of summer is boiled sweet corn with butter and salt, eaten with mozzarella, grape tomatoes sliced in half, and il pesto (keeping oneself in fresh basil is just too hard).
Alon says
I would expect Jurafsky to know it's Camellia sinensis, not camellia. If one's pedantic enough to reach for botanical nomenclature, one should be aware that generic names are always capitalised.
The Caprese issue becomes clearer when looking at fuller descriptions of the dish, which make clear that the Southern Peach thingamajig still involves tomatos and basil. Apparently, the idea is that anything containing those two ingredients and some sort of cheese qualifies.
The language of food seems to be getting attention these days; besides Jurafsky's, I've seen two other books recently:
Szatrowski, P. E. (Ed.). (2014). Language and Food: verbal and nonverbal experiences. Amsterdam: John Benjamins
Gerhardt, C., Frobenius, M., & Hucklenbroich-Ley, S. (Eds.) (2013). Culinary linguistics: the chef's special. Amsterdam: John Benjamins
"Caprese" refers to being from Capri, so it is only indirectly a reference to goat anything. An Insalata Caprese has mozzarella , tomatoes and basil, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and nothing else. It doesn't have goat cheese and it sure as hell doesn't have molten pimento cheese. Ewwwwwwww.
" "The "Southern Peach Caprese," on the other hand, built around an oozing ball of fried pimento cheese, testified to Italian food's rising fortunes."
How do they figure that? That mess testifies as much to Cantonese food's rising fortunes – which is to say, not at all.
Peaches and fried pimento cheese? Why does Southern cooking have to be such slop? I blame the English.
Dmitry Pruss (aka MOCKBA) says
If you want your dish to be greasy and to contain peaches, then what else can you call it but Southern?
Yes, that bothered me too; I had to stop myself from silently correcting it when I copied the passage.
^ I was going to say!
des von bladet says
Like my younger son's friend who after a holiday abroad in a somewhat heedless way stated that Greek food tastes better in Sweden than in Greece. O, sancta simplicitas!
Ah, the Via Necligens! I have spent many happy holidays there complaining about the food in an Irish bar better than any New York can offer. (I certainly pity the fools who think Irish bars have anything to do with Ireland.) You'd think somebody in Italy would be able to make a decent pizza! And the muck they pass off as "spaghetti bolognese"!
We make slop ? I was horrified to find at a Thanksgiving dinner in Connecticut that the vegetables with the turkey included sweet potatoes mashed with marshmallows. Ewwwwwww ….to coin a phrase.
GeorgeW says
No discussion of language and food would be complete without reference to the "Detroit Rule:"

David L says
The elucidation of the nature of "Southern Peach Caprese" reminded me of the menu of the Frog and Peach restaurant.
sorry, there was supposed to be a link in there:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fY-M41FGzI
the Detroit Rule
Is that the reason why Homard à l'armoricaine sometimes is incorrectly called Homard à l'americaine. marie-lucie may reveal the details but l'armoricaine in cooking seems to mean 'from Brittany', while most references to the word itself is about a particular race of bovine.
Unfortunately my (Swedish translation) of 'La cuisine familiale et pratique' by H.P. Pellaprat from 1959 with 'all' the basic recipes of traditional French cooking about 'Homard à l'armoricaine' says:
Hot lobster dishes appertain to the higher art of cooking and don't belong in this book. After all he gives such a hot lobster recipe: 'Homard à la New-Burg', in which he though comments further about 'l'armoricaine' that it's a little too complicated in this context, more so as the recipe demands the lobster to be killed and dismembered before the preparation, which hardly can be a pleasant thing for a housewife in general :-)
Besides that, with its 498 recipes this is the best cookbook I've ever had.
zythophile says
Looking at rhe OED, "cha", via the Portuguese, and "tay", via the Dutch, fought it out in English until at least the middle of the 17th century: there's an essay to be written on why the Dutch won that war. Of course, "cha" re-entered British English via Hindi and British Army slang to become the working class "cup o' char", and now that's effectively vanished along with charladies (who are nothing to do with tea, but "chore" ladies), it's back again as "chai".
The Detroit Rule can be overcome by pronouncing it [dəˈtwɑ], though perhaps that is de trop.
Stephen Bruce says
But for the true snob, it would be Détroit, [detʀwɑ].
In Belgium steak tartare is called filet américain, but which is far from something that most Americans would find acceptable: raw ground beef with a raw egg on top.
And the muck they pass off as "spaghetti bolognese"!
Has got to be better than what the Germans pass off as "Spag(h)etti alla Carbonara".
The best spaghetti carbonara I ever had, oddly enough, was in Argos, Greece. (I've never been to Italy.)
[detʀwɑ]
Yes, but it wouldn't be as punny.
I echo the Ewwww. The more you do to sweet potatoes, the less wonderful they are. The exception it make is sweet potato pie (see, I can be discerning), where the potatoes require some minimal assistance to become pie filling.
Mordor begins at the Rockies…..
""We make slop ?"
Paula Dean.
That sounds sublime. And for the record, pesto as a dressing makes a better salad than raw chopped raw basil.
The more you do to sweet potatoes, the less wonderful they are
Ditto! But whenever I serve "garnet yams" sweet potatoes just grilled whole, someone would mention Cool Whip and Thanksgiving 🙂
(As an aside, for me, the most economic way to feed US guests off the grill turned out to be to put emphasis on the sweet stuff like yams and fruit)
Mordor begins at the Rockies
Perhaps. But on which side?
Mordor lies to the east, in darkness. It is a land polluted by abuse and by searing, toxic fire. The air is filled with the stink of rust and burnt slag.
IOW, Youngstown.
Dmitry,
The key with any sweet potato is slow, slow roasting. It takes time and you need to keep the temperature within a range that allows the enzymes to deactivate whatever it is that tastes a little sour in them. It doesn't matter whether it is red garnets, yellow ones or the plain white ones. It's true even for the purple ones.
We have a relative who comes out here from somewhere in New York State, and she says she "can take about three days of all this green food" and then she's done.
It turns out that the secret to keeping oneself in fresh basil is to resist the (American) urge to keep it in the refrigerator, where it turns black and slimy. If left out, it's fine.

These plinths are used to raise statues (especially the smaller ones) above other items on altars. We offer small and large rectangular plinths, and small and large square plinths, and an extra-large rectangular plinth. The small and large plinths of each shape can be used singly or stacked in order to give a small statue extra elevation. The plinths are made in our monastery from our own FSC®-certified Red Alder. The plinths are finished with a clear acrylic satin coating that accents the natural grain and color of the wood. The top edge of three of the four sides of each plinth is rounded. The side that does not have a rounded edge is the back of the plinth.
Our recommendation for matching plinth to statue is included at the end of each statue description.
To determine which plinth might work best with any statue, measure the width and depth of the base of the statue and compare to the figures for maximum width and depth of statue bases included in the description of each of the plinths.
Suitable for small statues having a base less than 4 ½" wide and 3" deep (11.4 x 7.6cm).
Suitable for medium or large statues having a base less than 6" wide by 3 ¾" deep (15 x 9.3cm).
Suitable for statues with bases up to 7 ¼" wide by 5 ½" deep (18.3 x 14cm).
Suitable for small statues having a round or triangular base less than 3 ¼" wide by 4 ¼" deep (8.2 x 11.4cm).
Suitable for medium or large statues having a base less than 4 ¾" wide by 5" deep (12 x 12.6cm).


Winning a EuroMillions prize of any size is certainly satisfying, but being able to share the experience with your best friend can be all the more joyous. That is the situation two men from Dublin found themselves in following a win of €379,410, a triumph that they have credited to their long-lasting friendship and traditions.
The two close compatriots weren't the only ticket holders from Ireland to beat the January blues with a huge EuroMillions win. Tuesday night's €72.1 million EuroMillions jackpot may have eluded players across the continent, but one player from the Emerald Isle managed to match all five main draw numbers and one Lucky Number to claim a prize worth €239,149.
If you would like to be in with a chance of winning tonight's estimated jackpot of €80 million, EuroMillions tickets are available to purchase online or from any authorised retailer throughout the country. Best of luck!

I SHOT CYRUS
Seppi, who's booking the forthcoming European Tour for I Shot Cyrus asked me if I wanted to include an interview with the band on my site. I thought that was cool, so here it is, done by Seppi and answered by Tatiana, bass player in IxSxC. These are definitely the longest answers I've ever seen in an interview, Tatiana rules! Even though I don't agree with everything Seppi / Tatiana had to say (especially the political stuff) I nevertheless found this interview worth to be published, so thanks Seppi! (Stefan)
Probably people over here haven't heard that much about you as a band, therefore it might make sense introducing yourselves first. How did Isc get started, how did you develop music wise and in which projects are the band members involved besides Isc?
Hey! We're the hardcore band I Shot Cyrus, from Sao Paulo, Brazil. We first started in 1997, as a project between members of Point Of No Return and Newspeak, who wanted to play fast and simple hardcore. In the first practices, we were kind of doing a Chain Of Strength/No For an Answer thing, although we always played it faster. But after a couple of months we got bored and started to play even faster and write angrier, punkier songs. The neo-youth crew thing was becoming big and most of the bands were not very good, didn't have the same anger as the original ones and a whole cult/stereotype was developing, which we didn't follow. And what was the point of having a band that sounded like a million others? It wasn't fun or challenging.
So, we started adding other influences in the mix, especially European bands and early 80's American stuff, and started playing faster and heavier. Our first phase is documented in the Thrashmaster comp, which is an LP from 1999 with other bands like Infect, Discarga, etc… After we recorded the Thrashmaster songs in 99, our first drummer left the band and we invited our friend Pierre, to play drums for us. Pierre wasn't really a drummer (although he also played drums for a band called Insanus), so he had a very unique style, which consisted mainly of just being able to play semi-blast beats and nothing slower than that, kind of like Lärm or something. So, we were forced to drop some songs and adapt the possible ones to his ultra-fast beats. It was a great thing, because our first drummer couldn't really play as fast as I'd like him to.
So, we started writing more extreme sounding stuff, having his crazy drum style in mind. That's when we really started to sound original, I think. We recorded more songs with Pierre in 2001, which came out in comps and split releases in Brazil and Europe. And then he also left the band in 2002, and I called Boka to replace him. It was great, because Boka's been playing drums for centuries and recorded tons of records records with Ratos de Porao (a great old hardcore band from Brazil), so he's one hell of a drummer. His ability to play anything gave us freedom to write all kinds of songs, and that's what we did on the new record we recorded this year. Now we can play all kinds of different tempos, and it makes it more exciting.
So now, we (and our other bands) are:
Kalota - vocals (also in Point Of No Return)
Pedro - Guitar (no other famous bands, except as a substitute guitarist in PONR whenever someone can't make it to gigs)
Tatiana - Bass (Infect and No Violence)
And Boka - Drums (Ratos de Porao)
What do you think about the whole "bandana thrash"/80s revival thing? Do you feel like you're a part of it?
I thought it was really cool when it first started. We thought we were alone doing that, and then the "Bandana Thrash" comp. came out and we suddenly found out we were in league with other bands from all over the world. It was a great relief from the neat, clean and overproduced hardcore that dominated the 90s, and much angrier and more creative than the neo-youthcrew phenomenon, and of course it doesn't glorify dumbness and apathy, like part of the this "neo-oldschool" thing seems to do.
Everything becomes just another stereotype after a while, though which sucks. We don't wear these "special" clothes so we can look a certain way, and we certainly don't try to sound a certain way so we can be part of a trend. Some people don't even realize that this whole bandana thing was supposed to be a joke. It's kind of ridiculous when hardcore bands just emulate something that already happened, just like a rockabilly band or something. Whatever was new, exciting, or even, shocking in 1983, is obviously not the same nowadays. But the essence, which is what really matters, the energy and the basic idea of pissed off kids yelling their discontent over fast and angry music, is timeless! And that's what we do. Instead of pretending we're in the 80's, we take the elements that made us excited about it in the first place and recycle them into something similar, but adapted to our current epoch. So, are 80's bands our main influence? Yes. Do we try to sound like we're from 1983? No. We leave revivals for the rockabilly and mod scenes, we prefer to recycle, hehe.
You´ll be on tour trough Europe in August. Could you please explain your feelings concerning this upcoming trip? What are your expectations?
I really don't know what to expect. On one hand, 2 of us have been there twice with Point Of No Return, and another one has been there more than 10 times with Ratos de Porao. But on the other hand, we've never been there with IxSxCx, and we're still pretty much unknown there. I expect to see many friends again, as well as meet other cool people. I think people who like our other bands (Point Of No Return, Ratos de Porao and Infect) will like I Shot Cyrus, musically and/or lyrically, but then, I'm not counting on huge shows or anything like that, since it's our first time there and we just had our first full length record out. I know that not many people know us, but at the same time I hope we're a pleasant surprise to them. And I also expect to have tons of fun, because we love touring and we love each other and our European helpers.
Most of you have been in Europe before. What were your impressions and how does HC over here differ from HC in brazil? In Europe (as well as in the U.S. probably) it seems like huge parts of "the scene" get absorbed or at least infiltrated and instrumentalised by capitalist corporations. Companies like Eastpack (the U.S. Airforce´s main provider with bags) e.g. are sponsoring metal/HC fests like Pressure Fest and are not only welcomed with open arms by the organizers, but also tolerated by 90% of the kids, who don't even see what's wrong with all this. I guess it's totally different in Brazil, right? South America seems to me like one of the rare regions were hardcore can still be considered a counter-culture with the aim of smashing capitalism and all other forms of exploitation and oppression. Is this really the case or am I over-optimistic here?
I believe it's the case if you're talking about the DIY scene we're part of. But there's also a more mainstream, more comercial and totally apolitical scene, with the same kind of values as anywhere else I think. The special thing here is that this DIY/political hardcore scene is really big and we're able to do shows for 1000 people without security, with low door prices, no "sponsors", political discussions and talks between bands, all organized by the kids themselves on a totally non-profit basis. But then, not everybody in this scene is involved or even very interested in politics, and among the people that are, there are also different kinds of politics. There are many different kinds of people, and I don't think that's bad, it's just natural. The difference here is that a fest like the Pressure fest, with corporate sponsors and shit, wouldn't feature the same bands and audience as the DIY shows. Overall, I think we're doing a good thing here, but of course we have the idiots and the apathetic people, just like anywhere else.
Are a lot of hardcore-kids involved in radical resistance activities? What kind of struggles are you involved in and what are some recent developments you'd like us to know about? Maybe you could also recommend us some websites where we could get further information about the political situation in Brazil and South America.
Yes, many punk/HC kids are involved in political activities. If you go to any demonstration where the so-called anti-capitalist movement participates in, you'll see lots of punk/HC kids. The indymedia center here is also full of HC kids, and so are many other groups. We, collectively, in the scene, try to keep in touch with the international struggles, as well as local ones. We organize a periodical show called the "Verdurada", where we always have someone to talk about political issues between bands. Recently, for instance, we did stuff about the crisis in Argentina, the war in Iraq, transgenical foods, and so on. We've also had people from all kinds of Brazilian movements, like the Landless Workers Movement, the Homeless Movement, etc. There's a place, for instance, called "Acampamento Anita Garibaldi", which is an autonomous settlement formed by the Homeless Movement, where they live and work, grow food and do political work as well, and we help them as much as we can with food we collect at shows and different kinds of political support. Recently we (I.S.C.) were also supposed to play a show in a demonstration against the nomination of a former torturer from the military dictatorship as chief of the police force's department of intelligence.
In the band, Tatiana is in a Marxist group called "Estrategia Revolucionaria", Boka is in his city's local anarchist collective, and Pedro and Kalota are not members of any organization right now, (have been in the past), but support and participate in the anti-capitalist movement and occasionally join organizations in specific struggles. And of course, the bands themselves can be regarded as a form of resistance activity, although nothing's gonna change if we just sing about it.
The best websites in English about local struggles I can think of right now are the English part of the Sao Paulo IndyMedia site (http://www.midiaindependente.org/en/blue/) and the landless workers movement (http://www.mstbrazil.org/).
One of you is female, which is a great and relieving fact in a scene that is so fucking male-dominated. Could you please tell us about the involvement of women in the Brazilian Scene and the sexism they're confronted with? Is it as bad as here in Europe, where bands, distros, labels, booking etc. is done by men in 95 of 100 cases, where men are reducing women to body parts on message-boards, and even threatening feminist-activists with violence and rape? Is there anything like that in Brazil and how do you deal with it (e.g. at shows)?
Here in Brazil something interesting happens. At any shows it's easy to see equal numbers of men and women. I think it's great, since 8 years ago, when I started getting involved with the sXe scene, there were less than 10 girls, and at punk gigs it wasn't very different. I play in 3 bands myself, Infect, which is formed only by girls, No Violence (I'm the only girl in the band), and I Shot Cyrus. The guitar player in Infect also plays (with boys) in another band called War Inside and the drummer is starting another all-girl band. There's another all girl band called Suicidio Quimico in another city called Curitiba playing ultra-fast hardcore. There's Austero, with 2 girls, Em Chamas and Abuso Sonoro (a pretty old and well known band) with female singers, and many others. There are lots of women expressing themselves in many ways. Some girls rather do zines, others take pictures, others only participate in political activities, others organize DIY events. But regardless, in comparison with the numbers of girls going to shows, there are still not many bands with female participation. It's sad, because there are really MANY girls who could do more that just be mere spectators. I think they're a little bit scared of "risking their asses", taking a fucking instrument and learning it, starting a band, even if it's gonna suck in the beginning. Sometimes I ask friends why they don't start a band, and they say: "because I can't play". Fuck, who was born already knowing how to play??? Learn it, damn it! Men aren't born with a special talent for music just because they're men.
About the sexism, it sucks to get up onstage and hear guys screaming you're "hot", or asking you to take your clothes off. It's really gross. From my personal experience, what I can say is that we always react in these cases, at least when we can hear it. When we didn't hear it, other people who hear it have done a good job at stopping them and making them feel bad about it. But it doesn't happen very often, fortunately.
What happens the most is people talking shit about the personal lives of more active girls, and believe it or not, it's other girls who do most of the gossiping! Often, they're more sexist than men, unfortunately. Having your life "investigated" and discussed by members of "the scene" ends up being the price to pay for leaving a passive position of expecting other people to do stuff in your place and only be the guys' girlfriends and watchers.
As far as I know, these threats of rape don't happen here. Though some weeks ago I heard about a girl having her 'intimate parts' rubbed against her will at a hardcore show in another city. I was surprised and full of hate! And if that wasn't enough, the girl had to face the people's reaction (which, unfortunately didn't surprise me much). Some retards even said that the guy wouldn't have done it if she didn't want it. No comments…
Another thing that happens is scumbag boyfriends who beat up their girlfriends. Yes, I'm talking about hardcore kids. We have a song about it in I Shot Cyrus, called 'Na Lamina da Faca' (On the blade of the knife - it's about women taking violent revenge against abusive men). Some are even well known, even playing in bands with lyrics against household violence. It's really complicated to deal with it, because in almost every case the girl is too ashamed to talk about it. And therefore, it's really hard to know who's getting beat up. Imagine that, in a scene where 99% of the girls consider themselves as feminists. Admiting you get beat up by your boyfriend is not an easy thing. I believe the first step is admiting things aren't going on as they should and stop depending on the guy. Stop believing it happen "just this time". There are no collectives, as far as I know, that helps hardcore/punk girls who've been beat up by boyfriends. The stories I know are all from my own experience and from people I know. What I can't tell you is that in Infect only, 3 girls have been through it, which makes me wonder what many more girls are going through. We have lyrics and lyrics on the subject, and that's what we do. It's very complicated. When I see a girl with purple stains on her face, I usually stare at the boyfriend a lot and look at the girl, willing to talk to her. But I don't know, it's weird to come to someone you've never talked to before and say "do this, do that". So anyway, I hope our music gives them a little bit of strength to people who go through this.
Although I heard that it's so much harder to run a band (getting equipment e.g.) in South America then here, there seem to be a lot of dedicated and amazing bands there. Does the scene mainly consist of privileged middle-class kids or are there people from "lower" classes involved as well? How hard is it for poor people to survive and how is Brazil's wealth distributed? Small upper-class, huge amount of poor people, and a richer working-class and middle-class in between?
Years ago, hardcore in Brazil was composed mainly of working class people. Nowadays, with the popularization of punk, there's a higher percentage of middle class people. It's hard to talk about this to Europeans, because in Brazil someone who earns 300 euros a month can be pretty much middle class, or at least a well paid working class person, and although Sao Paulo and the south are much richer, in the whole country, only 20% of the people earn more than 500 reais (166 euros) a month. So even a "lower middle class" person in Sao Paulo is richer than 80% of the whole population of the country… I don't need to mention that Brazil has one of the worst wealth distributions in the world, with some VERY rich people, a shrinking middle class and a huge mass of poor people. In the regions with strong hardcore scenes, there are proportionally more middle class people and a more specialized working class. But in the countryside in the northern regions, class division is absurd and there's an even bigger difference between rich and poor.
But yes, there are plenty of "lower class" people involved in hardcore/punk, it's not just a rich kid thing. In the Marxist definition, most hardcore kids in Brazil are "upper working class" or middle class (from lower to upper), with some very poor people and a few (not many though) rich people.
It's really hard for people to survive here, even if you have a good education it's hard to get a job, and if you do, you probably won't get paid very well. If, like most people, you don't have an education and left school to start working before high school, then you're pretty much screwed and your life will consist of spending 3 hours a day canned inside a crowded bus, work for 8 hours in a shitty job, and then get just enough money to eat rice and beans and pay rent in a really violent and far away neighborhood controlled by bandits and corrupt policemen. And you better pray not to lose your job, because it could get even worse than that. Right now, about 20% of the people is unemployed in Sao Paulo, and that's about 3 million people. Talk about potential criminals…
It seems to work quite fine for South American bands touring Europe. At least a fair amount of kids get you the support and recognition you deserve. What about European bands touring South America? So far only huge bands like Heaven Shall Burn and quite well known ones like Vitamin X or Highscore have had the chance to get over there, but there are so many other awesome bands who would love visiting you as well and I'm quite sure the kids would love them (maybe even more than the bands named before) as they consider themselves part of a counter-culture just like most South American kids seem to do. Do you think less known European bands could count on your help as Marcos Liberation was promising at several shows when Point of no Return have been here last summer?
Yes, for sure! Most of the times the bands that come are not well known here anyway. Heaven Shall Burn, Vitamin X and Highscore for instance, didn't come here because they were well know. They came here and them became well know. Most kids here aren't so aware of what goes on in the European scene anyway, so whatever bands that are good, have something good to say and are not assholes, can play great shows here and have a great time. The only problem, of course, is money. Our currency is way cheaper than the Euro, so it's gonna be really cheap for you to buy stuff here, travel around, eat, etc. but you won't make a lot of money. If the bands look at it as some kind of musical vacation and don't expect to make money, it's always gonna be a thrill!
Marcos Liberation told me that you guys were starting an organization fighting for the rights of non-human animals last year. How is this developing? I guess it must be really hard trying to convince people that they should consider the rights of non-human animals when they're totally occupied with their everyday struggle for survival.
Yeah, Marcos was starting it, with help from other kids, but it's hard to get the organization legalized, which is something he wants to do, so he's still raising money and support for it. Yes, it's hard to convince people to go vegetarian when they can't afford to choose what to eat, but that's not the goal anyway. The goal is mainly to raise the discussion and make people more aware on the subject, let them know that it's not more expensive to be vegetarian, for instance, and of course, denounce animal abuse, and show how it relates with human exploitation. And of course, even poor people (those who aren't starving) can benefit from vegetarianism, and we have many examples of that in the hardcore scene in Brazil.
What does your utopia look like and how can we all help turning it into reality?
Some people cringe on the word Utopia, because they understand it as some kind of unattainable ideal society, imagined only through purely idealistic thoughts. I'm not one of them. I understand this word as the idea of some kind of society for the future, which doesn't mean I'm not in touch with reality or that it's an impossible dream. As the late Italian revolutionary Amadeo Bordiga said, "revolutionaries are explorers of the future", and it's up to revolutionaries to understand today's reality and the current world properly, in order to find out the best ways to go.
But despite all pragmatism, we should always keep in mind what we want and never forget that our program should be the path towards the future, and if you will, towards the realization of utopia. Bordiga also said that utopia is not prediction, but perspective of the future. And therefore, we don't need to idealize, to invent, but to, through the interpretation of the present, develop a perspective of how a future world of freedom would be like.
With that in mind, I understand that a free world (utopia) would necessarily be a world without money, wages, states and classes, because these are the categories that retain us from controlling our own lives and being the masters of our destinies, both collectively and individually. About the way to get there, I think the first step is everybody finding our that there is no hope under capitalism, no matter how much people push us the idea that it can be reformed and resolve it's own contradictions. If people realized that (and that could be intellectually or intuitively, through theory and practice), and realized that it's the very nature of this system that's responsible for their poverty, their boredom, their decontrol over their own lives, their decontrol over the society they live in, the huge differences between them and other people, wars, all kind of massacres, dictatorships, fake democracy, corruption and all that, they could crush capitalism in no time.
But for that to happen, we would have to break away from the material and ideological traps of capitalism, and create our own, independent (from capital and institutional politics) organs of struggle. Exploited workers and oppressed people of all kinds must, first and foremost, organize their own struggle, independently from the state and from political institutions within the capitalist machine.
I don't want to sound arrogant, like I have all the answers, so I'll stop here. Even in the band, we have different approaches on our anti-capitalism. But the point we all agree is: there's no hope under capitalism, and therefore, we must find out ways to overcome it, instead of looking for ways to reform it or "improve it". The system is something we must destroy, not something we must improve, because it's nature is in itself, something that's necessarily made to privilege a minority, and think only in terms of reforming it would only mean better, more modern ways to keep exploitation going.

Jörgen Axelvall's Interview was published on "more more art"

Original Chinese Texts
—The trending aesthetic is completely different between West and East. In your work, the use of colour and the layer of greyscale is closer to East style. Does the Japanese Ukiyoe print influences your work?
A lot of my work is done on polaroid and instant film; it's been my preferred medium since the early 90's when it was still relatively cheap and available everywhere. I didn't make the connection back then but I think original polaroid film resembles what you call Eastern style - more muted colors and tones.
I also always use available light whereas one of the dominating trends for many many years has been a strong flash on camera. I wouldn't say Ukyo-e prints have had any direct influence on my work more than the fact that I like them. I notice getting influenced by Eastern aesthetics almost subconsciously though, just from living in Asia for a number of years now.
–Flowers are normally used to describe woman. But I find two important elements in your work, which are man and flowers. Your model's gesture is also soft and graceful, even feminization.Is this the side of man that you are fascinated?
I'm gay and that's a big reason I photograph men and I also love flowers. Flowers and nature impacted me from a very early age - gardening was part of my upbringing.
For my latest exhibition 'And I reminisce', which is my life-work of sorts, I wrote a short story where I look back at my earliest memories; from my childhood, through adolescence to becoming a young adult. In the text I compare society's different attitude towards loving flowers and loving someone of the same sex. A man's love for flowers was considered perfectly normal and nurtured during my childhood whereas same-sex love was considered strange and somewhat discouraged. In a better world there would be no difference – love is love - period.
—After looking through your portrait photos. Either from Go To Become or Oide. I don't remember people's face clearly, but a similar sense of solitary and melancholy come into my mind. Do you agree whoever you photograph, the photo is finally a kind of reflection of yourself.
Go To Become is clearly autobiographic work; my personal experience moving to Japan, feeling lonely and confused. I explained my feelings to the model, he's also my friend, and we went to work at my 'sacred' places. The same places I would go to by myself at night, to find solace.
As for my other portraits - they are not always meant to be me but all my work projects me. It's unavoidable since I know myself the best and I'm trying to tell an honest story.
—Are you a naturism? Or naked body is just a form that you choose to express.
I do like being naked but I'm not a nudist. Japan has a long tradition of onsen culture (hot springs and public baths) and Sweden has its sauna culture where you spend hours being naked in public and I like it very much. We are all born nude and nudity is the great equalizer - we are all the same without clothes. When we are naked we become just people, there's no way to tell if someone is rich or powerful.
Fashion is great and inspiring but it's also a costume, almost theatrical and it doesn't fit in the story I'm telling.
—'Blurred vision' is one of the strong characteristic in your work. Do you think "Blurred" can bring different feelings to viewers? Either callback more memory or active the inner feelings.
I don't know how other people see things but my natural vision is actually not very sharp. Digital pictures taken with the latest technology looks nothing like how I see the world. I find most sharp clear pictures boring, be it photography, painting or any other visual.
I'm looking to evoke a feeling or a memory - quite abstract and blurry emotions. I like to think when I see an image, to decipher and figure out what I'm actually looking at.
—Mitsuo Takahashi have wrote poets for Go To Become, How do you think the relationship of texts and photos.
I love reading - books and poetry. Even as a visual artist I often find the written word to be equally powerful, sometimes even more so, than an image. I use poetry and words as an added layer in my artworks. It can be difficult combining visuals and words into a harmonious piece.
Advertising use text and visuals all the time but I wouldn't call that harmony; that's propaganda, a way to make a message louder and unescapable. When I incorporate words, my own or in the case of Mutsuo Takahashi's poetry, I do it to give my work another dimension; multi-layered. At the same time I like the visual and the word to be strong enough to stand on its own. It's not necessary to read the words but if you do I believe it adds something.
—You have mentioned Tokyo is a good place for making project. Do you think your personality fits in Tokyo as well.
Tokyo is good for working, to stay focused. It's a bit of a bubble for me; real but not tangible. In a split second I can choose to space out - I never watch Japanese TV and I have no clue about local celebrities or gossip and it's liberating. I also can't read much Japanese, especially kanji and it's ignorant of me but also gives me a strange sense of freedom. It reminds me of being a kid before I knew how to read. I used to go grocery shopping with my mother and I clearly remember only seeing colors and design and no text or messages.
I don't have the right to vote in Japan which makes me a secondary citizen but I'm fine sitting here watching the wheels go around, from a distance. Meanwhile I concentrate on my work. My personality fits anywhere inhabited by kind people.
—Commercial assignment and personal work usually has conflicts. Do you have the similar concern?
I have done commercial works in the past. Luckily I have always been commissioned for who I am and what I do. In that sense there has not been much of a conflict.
It's somewhat flattering when asked by a big commercial company to help them sell their products and the pay check is usually welcome but an artist never creates to sell. I used to think I could bridge the gap between art and commerce but no more. I'm not interested in consumerism.
—Besides the work in fashion photography industry, are you making or planning new personal project recently?
Yes, continuously I have about three or four project in my head. Some are nearly complete and some are just taking shape. Recently I'm all about processing my first 40 years of life. Possibly it's a mid-life thing. I'm looking forward to creating in the 'now' again and I can feel it happening but I don't have a clear vision of it yet
—Have you been to China, what is the impression of China? Do you follow any of Chinese photographers?
I have been to Shanghai and Beijing. Especially in Beijing I saw a vibrant art scene. I'd like to travel outside the big cities and see more of your immense country. I have great respect for China - the people, the rich culture and the accumulated wisdom China possess through its history.
I come from a very different culture and it's not fair of me to judge but as an artist I'm concerned about the current political leadership in China seemingly trying to control people's right to freedom of speech. I'm from Sweden, a small neutral social-democratic country that's been at peace for over 200 years. We can say, write and read whatever we want, we can criticize our government and leaders without repercussion and the whole world's information is available without any restrictions.
Unfortunately I see totalitarian powers on the rise all over the world at the moment, Japan and the West are no exceptions. Ultimately we all want peace, love and freedom. The people have the power to get this and we shall persevere.
There are many great photographer but I really don't 'follow' anyone. One of my Chinese friends here in Tokyo is a photographer. His name is Xiangsju and I think he does really great work with quite simple means. I also find Sun Yanchu's work interesting.

It's 1838, and James has made a secret plan to escape Master Graham's farm–and slavery. James tells his dog Zeus he has to stay behind: he's simply too noisy to bring along on a dangerous nighttime journey. But when two white men capture James soon after he runs, he's grateful his faithful hunting dog didn't obey. Zeus has followed behind, and the scrappy hound rescues James from his captors. An author's note describes the real life inspiration behind the book: James Smith, a slave who escaped with the help of his dog and went on to become a farmer and Baptist minister.

Southeast REDMOND station
Extension of light rail service from East Link's temporary terminus at the Redmond Technology station to downtown Redmond along four miles of track allows Eastside residents and businesses to connect to Bellevue and Seattle.
17520 NE 70th St
Light Rail Station
Sound Transit
Estimated Opening 2024
COMMUNITY INTEGRATION
Patrons approaching Southeast Redmond Station are greeted by the welcoming plaza, that provides necessary public space between the station and future transit-oriented development while emphasizing the identity of the station. New connection trails between Marymoor Park and Bear Creek Trail help to fully integrate the station into the community and ensure easy access for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Stakeholder design charrettes lead to prioritizing design program elements that became the foundation to an efficient station, transit center, and garage layout. The efficient footprint of the station allows for a significant portion of the site to be used for transit-oriented development. Specifically located between the highway and future transit oriented development, the parking garage acts as a buffer to mitigate traffic noise, become a visual barrier to Interstate 520, and help achieve a more pleasant pedestrian experience in the neighborhood. The trainway itself passes under the garage. This reduces patron travel distance for those arriving to the station by bus and by car, aiding in making transit a more attractive option for the neighborhood.
PATRON EXPERIENCE
The station design focuses on providing a comfortable and safe experience for patrons. Pedestrian safety is emphasized by providing an option for grade-separated access from the parking garage to the station platform. Ample weather protection has been provided for patrons waiting for buses and paratransit, and the station is designed to maximize views to the adjacent Marymoor Park for patrons awaiting the arrival of their train.

After Supercouloir we headed back towards Nuit Blanche which is still nicely formed. The bottom pitch it still a little dicey but otherwise its all in great nick.
The day after saw us take advantage of the good weather and we headed up for Pinnochio on the Tacul. I did it last year and thought it was one of the best lines on the Tacul area. It's short but each pitch is very different than the last and really great climbing. The route is pretty dry but is still climbable.
Otherwise there was another team up on Supercouloir the same day who reported good condntions.

"We've had such a great life together as a married couple, and we also see wonderful futures ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursuing ventures and adventures.", On Thursday, MacKenzie Bezos announced that the divorce was final, saying she was "looking forward to the next phase as co-parents and friends.". You can see a picture of the children here. Shaw was a bank where MacKenzie also worked and her books include Traps and The Testing of Luther Albright. Jeff's parents, Jacklyn and Ted, separated just after a year of their marriage. Congress has agreed to another round of direct payments. He is an actor, known for Star Trek Beyond (2016), Tooth Fairy (2004) and The Simpsons (1989). Something stood out in the Bezoses' statement, posted on Bezos's Twitter account: The couple really wanted everyone to know that they are staying friends. With a net worth of USD 157.7 billion, Jeff Bezos is the richest man on the planet. The site reports that Bezos's parents themselves gave away $65 million to a cancer research organization. "Then they became separated, and then Jeff started dating Lauren.". Congress has officially passed a $900 billion Covid-19 relief package. Do you expect someone too be able to actually make billions without destroying other peoples lives? That experience was "very beautiful and it was quite different from many dramatic breakups that I had had in the past," she told the New York Times in 2014, and she began offering an online course to help others learn to consciously uncouple. Meanwhile, Amazon was facing a storm of bad press in the wake of worker strikes and the company's announcement that it was establishing new headquarters in New York City and Arlington, Virginia — in February, it announced it was pulling out of the New York City deal. After the National Enquirer published its story, he said, he launched an investigation to determine how the tabloid got the texts and why they decided to publish them. Their eldest son is named Preston Bezos. the potential division of their vast fortune, Adam K. Raymond writes at New York Magazine, Because of these connections, some are speculating, The ongoing saga of Jeff Bezos's sexts, explained, Netflix's new Regency drama Bridgerton is as shallow as the aristocrats it skewers, Joe Biden got the Covid-19 vaccine on live TV, Today, Explained looks at how the coronavirus pandemic reshaped the world. "I think my wife is resourceful, smart, brainy, and hot, but I had the good fortune of having seen her résumé before I met her, so I knew exactly what her SATs were," Bezos once joked to Vogue Magazine. Danny Hills, a friend, told Vogue that MacKenzie was a stabilizing influence.

Shaw, I was there when he wrote the business plan, and I worked with him and many others represented in the converted garage, the basement warehouse closet, the barbecue-scented offices, the Christmas-rush distribution centers, and the door-desk filled conference rooms in the early years of Amazon's history. Want to help animals? "Jeff remains focused and engaged on all things Amazon," Drew Herdener, an Amazon spokesperson, told Vox. According to a 1999 Wired interview, she negotiated Amazon's first freight contracts — from the in-house Starbucks in a Barnes & Noble. Jeff Bezos's family – his mother, father, and his two siblings – were among the earliest investors of Amazon.com, likely reaping windfalls of their own as the company's reach exploded. At the same time, Goop posted an article by Habib Sadeghi and Sherry Sami, practitioners at the Be Hive of Healing Integrative Medicine Center in Agoura Hills, California, explaining conscious uncoupling. Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie are the parents to four children. With a fortune of $137 billion, the Amazon CEO is the world's richest man. My dad came here from Cuba all by himself without speaking English when he was 16 years old, and has been kicking ass ever since. Parlando della vita privata di Jeff Bezos è doveroso aprire una breve parantesi anche sui suoi figli. "To this day I enjoy the surprised look on people's faces when they recognize Larry and realize he is having dinner with the kids and me," she wrote. We will profile Bill Gates. If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again," the statement read. In fact, Paltrow said, "I was really saying we're in a lot of pain, we failed at this; we're going to try and do it in a different way.", Despite the mockery that "conscious uncoupling" initially received, other celebrities have released optimistic divorce or breakup announcements in recent years. Patrick Whitesell is an extremely rich and powerful talent agent in Hollywood who represents some of the country's biggest movie stars. And MacKenzie Bezos put an end to speculation about the fate of Amazon on Thursday, when she tweeted that she would be giving Jeff Bezos 75 percent of her Amazon stock, along with voting control of her shares. Religion plays an increasingly significant and complicated role in Silicon Valley. Fine, readers. This year, support from our founding contributors has helped us create projects that millions relied on to understand a year of chaos, and to keep their families safe. AMI then threatened to publish risque selfies sent between him and Sanchez unless he called off his investigation and issued a statement saying that he had "no knowledge or basis for suggesting that AMI's coverage was politically motivated or influenced by political forces," Bezos wrote. The day after the couples announcement on Twitter, the National Enquirer published an exposé of Jeff Bezoss affair with Lauren Sanchez. Thank you for all the love and heart, Dad!". Regardless of the details of their relationship, they have every reason to portray themselves as friends and partners for the sake of shareholders, grantees, and the millions of Americans watching their every move. The Jorgensens were married less than a year, and when Jeff was 4 years old his mother re-married, to Cuban immigrant Mike Bezos. You can read more about him here. Forbes Magazine reports that Mike and Jackie Bezos invested more than $245,000 in Amazon early on. "These kind of announcements are very positive for people who are thinking about divorcing and also for people who are going through divorces and having a much more contentious adversarial experience," said Lauren Behrman, a therapist and the author of the book Loving Your Children More Than You Hate Each Other: Powerful Tools for Navigating a High-Conflict Divorce.

Bezos and his wife donated $2.5 million in July 2012 to promote the passing of a same-sex marriage referendum in the state of Washington. Bezos and Mark once discussed their upbringing together in a video (see above). Jeff Bezos's Parents Gambled on His Big Idea — and Now Could Be Worth Billions. "After a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends," the statement read. Interested in attending Summit events? "We have gotten to the point where there is really nothing left to work out," Huffington wrote, "and it feels completely natural to be able to sit on a beautiful beach or stroll through the lovely streets of Agios Nikolaos together.". Decades ago, a divorce could seriously threaten a celebrity's career — and one way to avoid professional damage was to cast oneself as the wronged party, as BuzzFeed's Anne Helen Petersen lays out in her exploration of actress and singer Debbie Reynolds' split from Eddie Fisher. CNBC reports that it's definitely possible – and even likely – because the couple made their home in Washington, a community property state. Vogue quoted MacKenzie as saying the couple had tried many things with their children and the magazine noted that included homeschooling. Dividing those assets would have required that Bezos sell some of his stock in Amazon, which would dilute his control of the company as well as changing its public image — as Del Valle pointed out, "he's been the face of the company since its founding in 1996.". In April, Vox launched a way for readers to support our work with financial contributions — and we've been blown away by the response. TMZ also reported that Bezos and his wife were already separated when his relationship with Sanchez began. Separately, MacKenzie Bezos, a novelist, is the founder and executive director of the anti-bullying group Bystander Revolution, which has done work with celebrities including Monica Lewinsky. He has spoken extensively about the ways in which his father and mother shaped his life. Please also read our Privacy Notice and Terms of Use, which became effective December 20, 2019.

"It wasn't about money itself. He also has a sister named Christine. If Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos join the ranks of celebrities who have divorced while in the public eye without becoming enemies, they may help further reduce the stigma around divorce and provide a template for other families. pic.twitter.com/gEuVgxotdw. Soon after that, the National Enquirer released what it said were "sleazy text messages" sent by Bezos to Sanchez, and claimed to have seen "a cache of lewd selfies" sent by the Amazon CEO as well. The Jeff Bezos family is four children, estranged wife MacKenzie Bezos, mother Jackie, father Mike, and siblings. It's not at all clear that negative coverage hurt Amazon's bottom line, but it also wasn't a good time for Amazon's public face to be seen as a bad husband — or a bad ex-husband. As she continues her endeavors, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase. Help us reach our goal by making a contribution to Vox today, from as little as $3. Born on April 7, 1970, MacKenzie Bezos age is 47. Their marriage has been off and on for a while, and they tried hard to fix things, but in the fall they officially separated. And here are some of the reasons we should profile him, according to you, our readers (everything sic): The timing of the Bezoses' joint statement suggests that they knew the Enquirer story was coming. As Vox's Rebecca Jennings noted, 2018's holiday season came with numerous guides to canceling Amazon Prime subscriptions. "To change the concept of divorce, we need to release the belief structures we have around marriage that create rigidity in our thought process," they wrote. Page Six alleged in a follow-up story that it had learned "the Enquirer has been tracking the couple for four months, and on Wednesday (January 9, 2019) they posted pictures of the pair, and said that over the course of four months, their reporters had tracked the couple 'across five states and 40,000 miles.'". "We want to make people aware of a development in our lives.". The girlfriend of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly linked to published text messages about their affair. Jeff Bezos has a brother named Mark Bezos who is a volunteer firefighter. Under the law in Washington state, where the couple live, MacKenzie Bezos could have been entitled to half her husband's assets. When Jeff was just four years old, Jacklyn got married to Miguel "Mike" Bezos, a Cuban who immigrated to the United States alone at the age of 15. Though the labels might be different, we remain a family, and we remain cherished friends.", — Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) January 9, 2019. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos first made The Forbes 400 list two decades ago, debuting in 1998 with a net worth of $1.6 billion. Conscious uncoupling wasn't new. His birth parents were named Jacklyn Gise Jorgensen and Ted Jorgensen, but they divorced, and he was adopted as a young child by his stepfather, a man named Miguel Bezos who is sometimes called Mike Bezos. He was previously married to Mackenzie Bezos. You can see a recent photo of his sister and mother here. "I will show you with my body, and my lips and my eyes, very soon.". Jeff and I have been married for 20 years," she wrote. In 1992, Bezos graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelors degree in English. Sign up for the In response, AMI issued a statement saying that the company had been "in good faith negotiations" with Bezos prior to his Medium post. When people discuss Jeff Bezos, a recurring theme seems to be his insistence on holding all the strings he can reach.In an interview with CBS News, Professor Noel Tichy from the University of Michigan described Bezos as a "control freak" and Amazon as a "one-man show." If they held on to all of the shares their stakes would each now be worth up to US$7 billion each, a return of 14 million per cent," reports SCMP.com. The Bezoses wrote their statement together, the source said, and it should be taken at face value. "He and Mackenzie have been working on this for a long time, and they worked very hard to fix it," the source close to the couple told Vox. She had told Patrick that she has been recently seeing Jeff Bezos." None of the parties has confirmed the account. "I have firsthand knowledge of many of the events. ), was named Jorgensen. He was in a long-term marriage with wife, MacKenzie Bezos, a novelist, but he announced on January 9, 2019 that the couple was breaking up. After the marriage, he adopted Jeff legally and took the responsibility to raise him. At this point, the story of the Bezos divorce has become a political one, with allegations of extortion by a company linked to President Trump. The National Enquirer's parent company, AMI, entered into a "catch and kill" agreement with former Playboy model Karen McDougal to keep her from talking publicly about an affair she says she had with Trump, the New Yorker's Ronan Farrow and others have reported. The "conscious uncoupling" of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin in 2014 is the most famous example, but others abound, from Larry and Laurie David sharing family dinners after their split to billionaire Tom Steyer pledging to work together on the "dream of justice" with his wife, even as they began living apart. He vowed to reconnect with his son, above left, now 50. Last year, they established the Bezos Day One Fund, a $2 billion fund aimed at making grants to existing nonprofits fighting homelessness and establishing preschools in low-income areas, according to CNN. Because of these connections, some are speculating that the Enquirer may have pursued the Bezos story to curry favor with Trump. Now, SURELY there will be who say he hasn't killed anyone. The friendly divorce got an enormous boost in attention in 2014, when Paltrow announced on her Goop website that she and Martin were separating. As Vox's Gaby Del Valle notes, the two met when they worked at New York hedge fund D.E. According to The Washington Post, Bezos and his wife once gave $2.5 million to support gay marriage in Washington State. "He likes to meet people.

Eliom and Ocsigen server automatically take charge of a lot of security issues. This unburdens the programmer from having to think about most common security problems. This page details various possible design flaws of Web applications, how Eliom and Ocsigen server (possibly) protects you against a possible exploitation of these flaws, and where you should be careful. Please help us maintaining this page, by sending us any comments.
Use secure Eliom references to record user name or user ID once the user is connected, otherwise the session ID may be send through HTTP.
This is probably the biggest (and most dangerous) possible mistake. As the user has an entire control over the data sent to the server, never assume that the data sent by the client has been verified (even if some validation happens in Js_of_ocaml). Instead, reimplement all verification server-side.
As a (small) mitigating factor, Eliom automatically checks that the type of the parameters is correct.
However, as we are using safe unmarshaling, incorrect data will never crash the server.
Example: Never trust the (current) user ID sent by the client process. Always take the userid from the session, through cookies.
This typically happens if authentication is badly implemented, or altogether missing in some places.
each URL should implement user verification. Never assume that the user comes from a trusted URL, for example because the URL is secret.
Do not permit too many near-simultaneous login attempts, either for the same login, or from the same IP. You can use the module Lwt_throttle to delay login, if too many connections are started.
Eliom modules are written in OCaml, which is a compiled language. This prevents all code injection possible with scripting languages.
No SQL injection is possible if you use Macaque or PGOCaml, which use PostgreSQL prepared statements.
No HTML injection is possible, as unsafe HTML characters are always escaped before being written.
The module Extendconfiguration can be used to prevent access to files or entire directories, from both Staticmod and Eliom.
Even if userconf is activated, users can only expose their own files; see the localpath option for details.
Ocsigen cookies are cryptographically generated, and cannot be guessed by the attacker. Thus the attacker cannot control, or supply, the cookie of the client.
Ocsigen server does not implement the trace directive.
Do not let the user supply the URL to which a page redirects.
As a mitigating factor, do not write GET services that actually perform actions. Use only POST, which cannot be invoked from a URL.
Alternatively, each time you generate a form, add a hidden field containing a unique id. The service that is called by the form must check that the id is valid.
Use session groups to prevent a user from creating an unlimited number of sessions or dynamic services. (And do not attribute tokens to anonymous users). Even if you do not use session groups, Eliom limits the number of in memory sessions by sub network. Warning: no limitation of the number of persistent sessions.

DVD Review: Quatermass II, Part 3
Episode 3: The Food
At the end of Part 2, one of the men on the Winnerden Flats synthetic food project committee was revealed to have been marked by exposure to the so-called "meteorites" that have been falling in the vicinity of the top-secret factory. It's assumed by Quatermass and the viewer that the other committee members are also under the influence of whatever's inside those objects, even though the marks on them aren't in such obviously visible places.
Member of Parliament Vincent Broadhead, who's called this committee meeting, mentions the objects and calls them "missiles." He's afraid that these things are an attempt to sabotage the delicate food cultures at the plant by some means of infection.
Quatermass takes the plastic model of a "meteorite" out of his briefcase and shows it to them. The reaction is dead silence. He shoves it toward the man with a mark on his face and asks him if he's ever seen anything like it before.
The marked man seems to struggle with himself and tries to answer. "If I could tell you–" he begins, but he's shouted down by one of the others, who insists there is no infection and the project will go forward. These questions must not continue.
Quatermass is asked to leave the room.
He returns to Fowler's office, where he declares that he felt real menace from the men around that table in the last few minutes he was there.
Fowler finds this incredible. "Menace? In the Ministry?" About 20 minutes have passed since Quatermass left the meeting, and he and Fowler return to the conference room to see what's going on.
The room is now empty, except for Broadhead, who sits slumped over in his seat at the end of the table. There is a faint, lingering smell of ammonia in the air.
Broadhead is at first woozy and disoriented, but as he recovers he tells them, "Inquiry's over. Nothing to find out. Everything's in order." He also has the beginning of a double-circle mark on the side of his neck.
A doctor arrives, and doesn't answer Fowler's question about who sent for him. The doctor has that same stilted speaking voice that the security guards and committee members displayed, so he's obviously One of Them.
While the doctor tends to Broadhead, Quatermass and Fowler quietly confer on the other side of the room. Quatermass whispers that he must get inside that top-security facility and see what's going on.
They meet up a little later in an espresso bar with a cheerfully vacuous young man named Rupert Ward. Rupert's job is Public Relations, and one of the things he does is escort important people to see the Winnerden Flats factory. Politicians, mostly, and members of the press. He only takes them there; he assumes someone else brings them back.
For the first time, Rupert seems to think this odd. But nothing's happened to anyone he's taken to the plant, he assures Quatermass. "They all turned up again. You see their names in the papers."
At this point, you might be thinking that this story is similar to Invasion of the Body Snatchers–but that film didn't come out until the following year.
Rupert still has his security pass, so he agrees to escort Quatermass and Fowler to Winnerden Flats for an official tour.
Back at the Experimental Rocket Group, Leo Pugh and Paula Quatermass have a personal conversation. Leo tells Miss Quatermass that he used to be a mathematical whiz-kid, the kind who can do complicated calculations in his head. His old schoolteacher in Wales, a Miss Williams, always gave him math problems with large numbers and was always surprised when he got the right answer in seconds. "You have the power to benefit Mankind," Miss Williams used to tell him. And now he punches numbers into a computer for it to do the calculations.
Paula in return tells him about her worst childhood fear–being lost in the dark on the wrong side if the world somewhere in outer space, in the one place where her father couldn't send a rocket to find and rescue her.
This provides Leo with a Eureka moment regarding the location of the satellite that's sending out those fake meteorites. It's in a hidden spot on the dark side of the Earth where it can remain in an invisible orbit.
They start a radar search for it, working on that assumption.
Meanwhile, a completely clueless family has gone out to spend the day picnicking on the beach at Winnerden Flats. Like the homeless man in the previous episode, they're surprised to see that the little village is bulldozed away to rubble, but that doesn't stop Mum and Dad from setting out a blanket and picnic basket on the beach while their son puts on his scuba mask and flippers and goes for a swim.
They've ignored all the keep-out signs, and when they hear the alarms at the plant going off, they assume it's something innocuous like the workers' tea-time. And when the guards arrive, point guns at them, and order them to leave, they stand around arguing.
Fortunately for Quatermass et al., this incident provides a distraction so they can drive right past the guards and are not stopped or challenged before their car reaches the factory gates. Rupert produces his pass and the party is admitted.
The place seems strangely empty. There are no workers in sight as they drive around and underneath the towering structures (From the end credits, I note that this place was actually an oil refinery), but there are plenty of armed guards on duty.
Their first stop is at the plant's infirmary; there is a doctor present, but no one else. When Quatermass asks about Dillon, the doctor answers in that harsh, atonal voice we're used to hearing from the Pod People by now that Dillon wasn't very ill and he went "away."
Next, the three men take their token tour of the plant. They are shown around one of the production rooms, where the supposed synthetic food is being created. At Quatermass's request, a technician opens a hatch on one of the huge pieces of equipment so they see inside. A bright light within indicates that a lot of energy is used at the beginning of the process.
Quatermass asks the technician about the rest of the process, but answers most of the questions himself. The gloopy stuff that's created here is channeled into the enormous domes, where it cooks in a high-pressure, low-temperature environment under certain gasses: Ammonia? Methane? Hydrogen? As he pointedly mentions each gas, the technician flinches.
It's here that Quatermass finally mentions that the dome structures are very much like the ones in the plans for his Moonbase. They're just the sort of thing one needs to survive in the incompatible and hostile atmosphere of an alien planet.
He asks the technician how the project is getting on, and is told that it's "on schedule."
Rupert Ward had left the processing area some time earlier, but Quatermass and Fowler only now notice that he's gone. They hear the sound of gunshots, but Quatermass says that these were too far away, outside the facility and Rupert couldn't have gone that far.
They drive around the plant searching for him, and finally spot him staggering down the ladder on the side of one of the domes. He's obviously in pain and is covered in gunk, which he smears along the outer wall of the dome as he descends.
They reach him by the time he stumbles and falls at the bottom of the stairs.
Did he get inside the dome? Quatermass asks.
Rupert is barely able to talk, but he says he peeked inside the airlock. He was wearing a gas mask, which is now dangling around his neck, but it doesn't seem to have done him any good.
What was inside? "Slime!"
He hands some small object to Quatermass, and dies. The guards are coming, so the two men are forced to leave him behind as they run back to the car and drive quickly away. But Quatermass has managed to get hold of Rupert's shirt collar and tie, covered with the gunk. He's wearing gloves so he hasn't touched the stuff directly.
On their way out, they pass by a truck coming in through the gate, towing the little car that belonged to the family on the beach. A bare arm–the boy's, I think–is dangling out of one window.
We cut to the smashed remains of the picnic basket, still on the beach, along with the broken mask and flippers belonging to the boy.
Back at the Rocket Group's lab, the gunk is analyzed and its chemical composition is determined to be "not of this Earth," at least, not in that concentration. It's too toxic to be used as food for humans. Quatermass, however, believes it could be food for something else–but food for What?
He posits that they are dealing with creatures that can't breath Earth's atmosphere, so they've sent out those little projectile packets containing the gasses they can breath; once the packet breaks open, the entity within has only a few seconds to find and latch onto a host it can control. The host person joins a sort of hive mind.
Leo Pugh is still working at his calculations and watching the radar, and he's found something: an asteroid, about 15 miles across in an elliptical order that reaches it closest point to the Earth every 48 hours. Which is when it presumably launches its "meteorites". And it's heading back toward Earth right now.
Fowler and the Quatermasses, father and daughter, gather around the screen to look at the radar blip.
Paula asks, "Could it be the same as before–the first rocket?" Referring to the space-floating alien entity that took over Victor Caroon and turned him into a giant, life-absorbing cactus/octopus thing.
Her father thinks that it isn't. They're faced with a new and different alien invasion.
