The BookBrunch interview: Frances Hardinge
Jasmin Kirkbride
News - Interviews 04 March 2016
Frances Hardinge talks about her suprise at her Costa win, what it might mean for children's books, and how and why she writes
Just when you think publishing's getting staid, it turns around and does something delightful to change your mind. The Costa Book of the Year to children's and YA author Frances Hardinge for her novel The Lie Tree was one of those moments.
Hardinge is only the second children's author - after Philip Pullman - to win Book of the Year since the Costa (previously Whitbread) adopted this format in the mid-Eighties. "That's, of course, one of the reasons why I didn't think I'd get it," she says, with what is becoming known as trademark modesty.
"At first I just felt completely stunned, then I felt stunned, sleep-deprived, and as if somebody had attached me to a sort of media rollercoaster. Now, I'm working my way around to it sometimes actually sinking in. There's been a great deal of happiness throughout. On the occasions where it has sunk in, I have a tendency to giggle… I still can't really quite believe that this is actually happening!"
The choice has been a hot topic in the industry, with literary news outlets and commentators discussing what this means for the genre. "It's really good for children's and YA fiction," comments Hardinge, "because it does mean that some people are looking at them anew, and maybe even delving a bit and noticing exactly how much interesting and exciting stuff is out there.
"There do seem to be an increasing number of adults reading my books, which is lovely. As well as being children's/YA books, they're all basically genre fiction as well, and the genre fiction community is actually quite open-minded about children's/YA fantasy." Her 2014 novel, Cuckoo's Song, won the Robert Holdstock Award for Best Fantasy Novel.
The appeal of strong themes
One of the reasons her books have been picked up by adults as well as children is undoubtedly Hardinge's ability to wrestle with strong themes. The Lie Tree focuses on a young girl called Faith unraveling the mystery behind the death of her Reverend father. Living in a strict Victorian milieu, she picks up his enthusiasm for botany and science, despite internal and external criticism that it isn't a suitable occupation for a girl. The feminist themes are apparent.
Hardinge's original idea was the Lie Tree itself. Once she slotted it into the context of the Victorian period, the story began to flow. "Because we are dealing with lies and facades - not just the lies we tell each other but the lies we tell ourselves, the lies we let other people tell us, and the untruths we cling to - the Victorian Period very much looked like the one to use.
"But then, looking at the fact that I would be writing about a teenage girl in the Victorian period and looking at interest in science, I couldn't see a way I could dodge gender - in fact. I couldn't see a way I should dodge gender. I could try to tiptoe around it, but that felt wrong, so in the end I gave up and took it head on."
The complex issues do not end there, because the Lie Tree resonates with the characters' religious ideas. "I started thinking about the tree in terms of how it would be perceived as something connected to the Book of Genesis, because obviously all my characters would have been brought up in a culture suffused with Biblical teachings. There's no way they weren't going to see it at least at some point in those terms, but also in terms of it as a botanical specimen, which then got me thinking about natural science and the context of untruths that people would be desperately clinging to."
The result is a powerful story, with universal appeal. Hardinge never condescends - to adults or to children. It's a trait she seems to have picked up from her own father, to whom The Lie Tree is dedicated.
"I'm glad to say my father is very much unlike the Reverend in the book! In that, unlike the Reverend, he is quiet, kind, and scrupulously honest. Yet he says stuff with this very quiet, thoughtful integrity. I always remember him giving me credit for intelligence, always trying to take things on and explain difficult concepts, things that were difficult intellectually or emotionally. Being taken seriously and being treated with respect in that fashion makes a difference to one."
Endless curiosity
You can imagine Hardinge being a child of many questions. She developed an interest in the Gothic at a young age, and this features throughout her books. "It always has interested me, even when I was very young. One of the things I tend to say when people ask, 'Who are you writing for?' is, 'I'm writing for a younger version of me!' The Lie Tree is probably written for 14-year-old me, and 14-year-old me had developed an interest in the Gothic."
A voracious reader, and read to with equal enthusiasm by both her parents, Hardinge always knew writing would feature in her life. "When I was younger, I had ambitions in lots of different directions. I always wanted to be an author and an artist, I was very clear on that, but at different points I didn't see why I couldn't also be an astronaut, scientist, ballet dancer. When I was very young I also wanted to be a cat and learn how to fly - but let's brush over that!
"Recently, I've been going through a lot of my old papers and finding stories, some of which I remembered writing, and some of which I didn't. There's something I wrote when I was about six, which is about half a page long, and another poem I found - called The Night Dragon - doesn't even have joined up handwriting, so I was probably pretty young."
Hardinge was first published when her already-published friend and writing companion, author Rhiannon Lassiter, took the first few chapters of a draft novel and showed them to her editor. Within a week, Hardinge had a publishing contract. Even after publication, Hardinge still swears by writing groups. "I find them incredibly helpful, because actually self discipline is an incredibly hard thing for me. Having miniature deadlines is quite motivating."
She seems quite disciplined to me, trying to work on her books from nine to five during the weekday. "Most of my writing happens in my study, which sort of doubles as a store room. Right now, I'm sitting in my study looking at a lot of boxes, rolls of wrapping paper and things like that. And water pistols." Other features include a sith lightsaber, which she was apparently gifted after a duel with another children's author in a dimly lit bar in Chinatown.
There's a sense of fun about Hardinge that is quite infectious, and even extends to her research, which, she admits, is not always reading-based. "For example, in A Face Like Glass, the protagonist starts off as an apprentice cheese-maker, so I went on a one-day cheese-making course… Similarly, for Gullstruck Island, loads of volcanoes. I'd already got a bit hooked on volcano visits before I started writing, but I did go back and scrambled around a lot more. I have even claimed volcanoes against tax.
"I am still enthusiastically curious about everything. Now, I take it almost as an occupational duty to chase down everything I might find interesting, because you never know when you might be able to use it. Once, I was in Macclesfield and I found a loom museum. There was nobody there except me and this elderly couple and the person showing us around. And the elderly couple said, 'So, are you studying this for something? Why are you here?', and I said, 'I'm a children's author, I'm interested in everything!'"

ROME - At least 40 migrants died in the hold of a boat off Italy Saturday as the EU struggled to cope with "the worst refugee crisis since World War II", with thousands making dangerous crossings to reach Italy and Greece.
An Italian navy patrol boat was sent to its aid at 7:00 am (0500 GMT) and when its sailors boarded the boat, the grim discovery was made.
"We were faced with a very emotional scene," Commander Massimo Tozzi told the Italian news agency AGI, describing how some bodies were floating on the water.
The 312 survivors - including 45 women and three children - were then transferred to the Norwegian vessel Siem Pilot.
Survivors of the hazardous crossing from Libya often tell of how traffickers lock migrants in the hold who pay less for the voyage - mostly black Africans.
"This tragedy will not be the last if the international community does not find a solution to the crisis in Libya," from where most of the migrants set out, Italy's Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said.
Italy and Greece have borne the brunt of the emergency.
n the Greek island of Kos, scores of exhausted migrants, many of whom arrived on inflatable boats early Saturday, were turned away from a ferry that was due to start registering new arrivals.
In early hours of Sunday, the new arrivals were allowed to board the boat to register, and will be allowed to stay onboard while they wait for permission to travel to Athens.
Earlier this week, there were some 7,000 refugees and migrants on Kos, but that number has fallen to some 2,500, according to Greek police, with those who have registered travelling on to Athens.
Medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) on Saturday voiced concern over claims by some of the migrants on Kos that they had been attacked at sea.
"We have heard enough stories for us to be concerned," MSF humanitarian affairs officer Constance Theisen told AFP, adding that the first such reports started coming in in July.
Ahmad Yousef, a 40-year-old refugee from Baghdad who is now in Kos, said his boat had been attacked on a previous failed attempt to reach Greece.
"Big, tall men with their faces covered, carrying weapons, sticks and knives approached our boat, punctured it, and threw our motor into the water," Yousef said.
Greece's coastguard said on August 1 that it had arrested three men on the island of Samos, some 100 kilometres (60 miles) north of Kos, suspected of preying on migrants seeking to cross over from Turkey.
They were dressed like Greek coastguards and wore hoods, the coastguard said.
Some 102,000 migrants have arrived on Italy's shores since the start of the year while nearly 135,000 have arrived in Greece. At least 2,300 people have died making the crossing, according to the latest figures issued by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).


No one turns up where they're not wanted quite like John Safran. In this hilarious and disorienting adventure he gets among our diverse community of white nationalists, ISIS supporters, anarchists and more, digging away at the contradictions that many would prefer be left unexamined.
Who is this black puppet-master among the white nationalists? And this Muslim fundamentalist who geeks out on Monty Python? Is there a secret radicalisation network operating in John's own Jewish suburb? And ultimately - is hanging with all these radicals washing off on John himself?

Motorcycle Accident Statistics
Understanding Chicago Motorcycle Accidents through Statistics
Motorcycle accidents in Chicago lead to thousands of injuries and numerous fatalities every year. Each year, 70,000 to 80,000 people are injured in motorcycle accidents across the US. Additionally, somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 people are killed in motorcycle accidents each year. These statistics are not meant to frighten, but to shed light on the need for more safety procedures and laws surrounding motorcycles.
Among traffic accidents, motorcycle collisions are more likely to produce injuries and even turn fatal than several other types of collisions, even though the account for a relatively small portion of all crashes. In 2012, the Illinois Department of Transportation ("IDOT") reported that only 1.5 percent of all collisions involved motorcycles.
Even those who do not ride motorcycles can be involved in a motorcycle accident while they are driving or riding in a car, truck, bus, or van. Other statistics involving motorcycle accidents as recorded by IDOT for 2012 include the following:
Though only 1.5 percent of all accidents involved motorcycles, motorcycle collisions were responsible for 5.0 percent of all traffic-related injuries and 16.7 of all traffic fatalities in Illinois, highlighting the disproportionate effects these accidents have;
There were 4,231 motorcycle accidents across the state;
3,312 motorcyclists were injured in 3,036 traffic-related collisions;
148 people on motorcycles were killed in accidents;
In addition to those bikers killed, two people who were not on motorcycles were killed in motorcycle collisions;
The most common type of road for a biker to be injured or killed was upon a city road or street. In these accidents, 1,378 bikers were injured and 50 were killed;
An additional 666 riders were injured on county and local roads and 46 bikers were killed;
Bikers aged 45 years and older were the most likely to be injured or killed in a crash;
No children aged 9 or younger were hurt in a motorcycle accident;
Of the motorcycle operators who were killed in collisions, 127 were tested for the presence of alcohol and 46.5 percent of them had at least a trace amount of alcohol present;
There were 356,446 registered motorcycles in the State of Illinois;
At 1,603 accidents, approximately half of all collisions involved a single motorcycle. The remaining 1,495 collisions involved two or more vehicles including at least one motorcycle;
Unlike many motor vehicle collisions, the majority of motorcycle-related crashes, 2,258, occurred when a bike was traveling straight ahead;
Liability for a Chicago Motorcycle Accident
When a motorcycle collision occurs, it is often due to a mistake, negligence, or reckless conduct on the part of one or more motorist involved. In some cases, a biker may be to blame but in many cases, it may be another behind the wheel of a larger vehicle.
Regardless of who is to blame, the victims of a motorcycle accident may be entitled to relief under Illinois law. As the facts and circumstances surrounding each collision vary, it is important to understand the legal options that may result from a crash in which you were involved.
A responsible driver or the owner of an at-fault vehicle may be held legally and civilly liable for any injuries that result from a motorcycle accident. Whether they are medical bills, surgical expenses, lost wages, or even payment for pain and suffering, the individual or individuals responsible for the crash can be held liable for fair and adequate payment. In the event that a corporation employed an at-fault driver, that company can also be held liable.

Günter Eich
He loved luxury and ate like a pig.
But the servant who brought him his chocolate in bed
found him in floods of tears.
Mortality proposed itself to him in the form of music.
Gunter Eich, author of the POW poem "Inventory," one of the most famous lyrics in the German language, was rivaled only by Paul Celan as the leading poet in the generation after Gottfried Benn and Bertolt Brecht. As an early member of "Gruppe 47″ (from which Günter Grass and Heinrich Böll later shot to prominence), Eich (1907-72) was at the vanguard of an effort to restore German as a language for poetry after the vitriol, propaganda, and lies of the Third Reich.

Imagine: the day before your daughters wedding and you find a pocket of gem tourmaline crystals. Talk about good luck!
Now flash forward two years and on her second anniversary you find another pocket of gem tourmaline. Just a coincidence or something else? You'd have to ask Dennis Durgin, the owner/miner of Mt. Marie.
The tourmaline in this pendant is from the second find, the Anniversary Pocket. It measures 7.5 x 6 mm and weighs 1.38 cts. It was faceted by Derek Katzenbach of Farmington, ME.
It is set in 14K white gold and accented by small, full cut diamonds.

Paramount Sets "Rugrats," "Rumble," "War" Dates
Paramount Pictures has pulled its new "Rugrats" film from its planned January 29th 2021 release date and has not yet set a new one. The live-action/CG hybrid film was announced last year as part of a franchise revival that also includes a new Nick TV series.
Instead, the studio will replace it with "Rumble" – a Paramount Animation and WWE Studios feature set in a world where monster wrestling is a global sport and monsters are superstar athletes.
Will Arnett, Terry Crews, Geraldine Viswanathan and WWE stars Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns lead the voice cast for the film which was originally set for a July 31st 2020 date, but has now been pushed back six months.
Also today, the studio has announced that "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run" will be the title of the upcoming third "SpongeBob SquarePants" film opening May 22nd 2020.
Next, the Chris Pratt-led sci-fi action feature "The Tomorrow War" has set Christmas Day 2020 release. Pratt plays a man drafted to fight a future war in which the fate of humanity may rely on his ability to correct issues of the past.

Home Canterbury News Article
Remarkable remains of Anglo Saxon woman and jewels found in grounds of Canterbury Christ Church University
ByGerry Warren
gwarren@thekmgroup.co.uk
The remarkable remains of a young Anglo-Saxon woman, buried with lavish jewels and a knife, have been discovered on a university campus in Canterbury.
They were unearthed by archaeologists working in the grounds of Christ Church University at the site of its new £65 million STEM building, which is due to open in September next year.
The skeleton of the Anglo Saxon woman (21999128)
The woman, believed to have been in her twenties, was found buried with a silver, garnet-inlaid, Kentish disc brooch.
She was also wearing a necklace of amber and glass beads, a belt fastened with a copper alloy buckle, a copper alloy bracelet and was equipped with an iron knife.
Experts say that together, the items found in the grave suggest the woman was buried between AD 580-600.
They believe she would have been a contemporary, and likely acquaintance, of the Kentish King Ethelbert and his Frankish Queen Bertha, whose modern statues can be seen nearby at Lady Wootton's Green.
The bones have been studied by Dr Ellie Williams, Lecturer in Archaeology at the University.
The stunning broach found with her (21999131)
"The discovery of another ancient burial on our campus is extremely exciting," she said.
"It demonstrates the richness of the archaeology that surrounds us, and contributes important new evidence to our understanding of life and death in Canterbury around 1,400 years ago."
Dr Andrew Richardson, outreach and archives manager at the Canterbury Archaelogical Trust, which made the discovery, says the discovery is "particularly significant".;
"It suggests that relatively high-status burial was taking place on the site in the years shortly before the establishment of the Abbey.
"One of the primary roles of the Abbey was as the burial place of Augustine and his companions, Archbishops and members of the Kentish royal dynasty.
Cremation urns were also discovered (21999133)
"This find suggests that this may represent a continuance of existing practice at the site, rather than a completely new development and has implications for our interpretation of this World Heritage site."
Scientific testing on similar finds has shown the garnets are likely to have come from Sri Lanka rather than a nearer source.
Such brooches, crafted in east Kent from exotic materials, were produced at the behest of the Kentish royal dynasty and distributed as gifts to those in their favour.
The woman's bones will be retained for further scientific study, which it is hoped will provide insight into her life, death and burial.

Mapinguari est un mot d'origine incertaine, désignant un voire plusieurs animaux légendaires de la mythologie brésilienne, qui vivraient dans la forêt tropicale amazonienne au Brésil, en Bolivie ainsi qu'au Mato Grosso. L'apparence du Mapinguari varie en fonction des différents récits et témoignages : tantôt d'apparence proche de celle des paresseux géants, tantôt d'apparence humanoïde, tantôt affublé des diverses caractéristiques fantastiques (comme une bouche présente sur son ventre, ou un œil unique).

Caractéristiques
Les caractéristiques attribuées au mapinguari ne sont pas uniformes, et s'entremêlent en fonction des régions avec d'autres récits sur des créatures parfois humanoïdes ou rappelant parfois des paresseux géants :

Selon les peuples autochtones, la créature a une série de caractéristiques liées à d'autres êtres fantastiques de la mythologie brésilienne, comme de longues griffes, une peau recouverte d'écailles semblable à celle des caïmans ou parfois une épaisse fourrure rouge, et une deuxième bouche sur son ventre. En Amazonie, les Indiens proches du rio Tapajos décrivent ainsi le Mapinguari : son corps couvert de poils peut atteindre les 3 mètres de hauteur. Un seul œil de grande taille lui sert pour la vue. Certains le décrivent avec un œil au milieu du ventre et non à la tête.

La plupart des histoires disent que la créature est carnivore -- bien que pas nécessairement mangeuse d'hommes -- plutôt lente, mais féroce et très dangereuse, et ayant la capacité de se déplacer sans bruit dans la végétation épaisse. Cependant, elle éviterait les zones humides (ce qui limiterait ses mouvements dans une région où tant de fleuves et de lagunes existent, particulièrement pendant la saison des pluies).  Si un mapinguari venait à sentir la présence des humains, il se dresserait sur ses pattes arrière, atteignant ainsi une hauteur de 2 mètres, un mouvement semblable à celui du grizzli. Dans certaines régions, les croyances le décrivent protecteur des animaux de la forêt. Ainsi, lorsque le Mapinguari entend un chasseur en forêt, il se tient en affut le long d'un tronc d'arbre armé d'une branche épaisse. Il imite alors le cri du singe hurleur pour attirer à lui le chasseur. Par surprise il ne lui reste plus qu'à assommer le pauvre homme et éloigner le chasseur des autres animaux de la forêt. Cette créature est principalement crainte des chasseurs qui alimentent le mythe d'anecdotes recueillies au cours de leurs longues sorties en forêt.

L'écrivain brésilien Paulo Saldanha Sobrino a rapporté qu'en 1930 un certain Innocêncio, en remontant la rivière Uatamã (En) a affirmé avoir vu et blessé par un coup de fusil, un " mapinguari ", qu'il décrivit comme bipède, de forme et de taille semblable à un homme, et poussant de très forts cris. Sanderson a recensé au Mato Grosso des empreintes d'apparence humaine de 50 centimètres de long, et des récits faisant états de massacres de bétail.

Dans l'État d'Amazonas, l'ornithologue américain David Oren a recueilli de nombreux témoignages auprès des populations locales : le mapinguari mesurerait entre 180 cm et deux mètres de haut, serait quadrupède mais pourrait se dresser brièvement sur ses deux pattes arrière, dégagerait une odeur nauséabonde, aurait un pelage rougeâtre, aurait quatre canines, les pieds seraient tournés vers l'arrière, les griffes seraient semblables à celles d'un tatou géant, le corps serait lourd, massif et invulnérable contre les flèches sauf sur l'abdomen, le museau évoquerait l'âne ou le cheval et la queue serait courte et trapue.

Selon la science
Aucune preuve n'a jusqu'à présent établi le mapinguari en tant que réalité biologique (aucun individu vivant ou mort n'a jamais été étudié, bien qu'il existe des témoignages au sujet de mapinguaris abattus.) Pour la science, cette espèce est donc une légende, un cryptide, et appartient donc au domaine de la cryptozoologie, dont le statut de science ou de pseudoscience reste controversé. Selon une des hypothèses, l'origine de cette légende remonterait à l'existence d'un paresseux géant aujourd'hui disparu, le mégathérium ou le mylodon. Parmi les nombreuses recherches qui ont été faites pour repérer le mapinguari, on peut noter celle de l'ornithologue américain  David Oren, qui recueillit à partir des années 1970 de nombreux témoignages auprès des populations locales.  Les premiers résultats furent publiés en 1993, et selon Oren, la créature pouvait être une petite espèce de mylodon adaptée à la vie dans les forêts : une grande partie des caractéristiques physiques attribués au mapinguari se retrouvent chez les paresseux géants, sauf en ce qui concerne la queue, qui est courte et trapue selon les témoins, alors que les paresseux géants avaient une queue longue.

Culture populaire
 Littérature

Isabel Allende fait référence à une bête similaire dans son roman La cité des dieux sauvages (La ciudad de las bestias). Celle-ci aurait l'aspect d'un paresseux géant, aux longues griffes, capable d'attaquer l'homme.

 Filmographie

Dans l'Univers fabuleux de la série Once Upon A Time, une tête décapitée de cette créature est possédé par le roi Midas (S01E06).

Q: Windows 7 crash Windows 7 crashed during bootcamp install.  Now the option boot-up does not work.  When I turn the imac on it ignores all option commands and goes to no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key.

A: The install likely damaged the boot partition, making the Mac think there are no operating systems at all. It is likely/possible that your Mac partition is OK.
Can you boot with COMMAND-R (recovery mode) and reinstall Mac OS? That should fix the boot partition and get you back up and running.
Doing so should not cause you to lose any data as long as you don't reformat the Mac OS partition. But you did make a backup first. right?

This loan helps to buy farm inputs such as fertilizers to improve her tea crop production, and become empowered during this year's international women's day celebration.
International women's day is here with us.
Janet is 50 years old and resides in a small house in the Nyahururu area of Kenya, an area where most houses have neither electricity nor water connections. Having grown up on a farm, Janet is no stranger to hard work, and she is ready to roll up her sleeves with the hard work and determination needed to make her farming journey a fruitful one!
Thanks to her daily efforts, Janet has managed to give her children a good start by providing them with a good-quality education. She has a farm where she grows tea crops and raises livestock. She also earns some income from a personal business.
The Nyahururu area is a favorable one for farming, so Janet is seeking a 50,000 KES loan through Kiva's field partner Juhudi Kilimo to buy farm inputs such as fertilizer, to enable her to grow more crops.
Being a woman and accessing funds in Kenya, especially around her area, is very challenging, but Janet feels relieved knowing there are institutions such as Kiva that help enterprising women like herself. She is always working to improve her family's living conditions, and her biggest dreams are to become independent and support her family by herself and secure her children's future.

Networking Party April 30 in the Luberon
Network Provence will hold their second meeting Thursday April 30 from 5 to 7 pm in the Luberon village of Maubec, about 15 minutes east of Cavaillon and an hour north of Aix.
This is a loose organization designed for business and social networking, with English-speaking members drawn from all over Provence. A 15€ fee for the event includes wine, soft drinks and nibbles provided by Sandra Nguyen of SandKitchen.
The group was the brainchild of Rebecca Ronane, who moved to Provence from London in the mid '90s. Professionally Rebecca wears a number of hats, including working as a tour director throughout Europe and, more recently, providing life and business coaching to women over 50. (She works with individual clients and also offers what she calls Cappuccino Group Coaching Sessions on a monthly basis.) Her husband Alain (half French and half Dutch) works in the travel industry as well, when he's not busy with his pet project: reviving an olive grove abandoned in 1956.
"I was looking around for opportunities and events where I could meet other English speakers, with the goal of promoting my coaching business," Rebecca tells me. "I looked at the various groups in the region and didn't find one that seemed like what I wanted. So I thought, 'why not start one myself'?" The first meeting drew 26 people--25 of them women--and a mix of nationalities including French women who speak just a bit of English. "It was a nice multi-cultural mix," Rebecca says, "and some really interesting things have already developed from it. Sometimes a bridge between cultures can be difficult unless you're put in the right circumstances."
For the time being, the get-togethers will be held in Rebecca and Alain's home and are therefore limited to 30 people max but as interest grows, different venues could be used. "Our house is rather convivial which adds a nice dimension," she says.
At each meeting, anyone who wants to present their business or activities to the group is welcome to do so, for a minute or two each. Everyone is also encouraged to bring flyers, business cards or other promo materials.
While men are welcome, the group is really designed to help English-speaking women of all nationalities make business contacts and new friendships. "I'm not eliminating men but my goal these days is about women power," Rebecca says. "The idea is to enable networking focused on that. And the women come because they like that idea."
If you're interested in attending the April 30 event, being added to the mailing list for future events or receiving info on Rebecca's coaching: rebecca@rebeccaronane.com or 06 41 80 21 72. Her website is RebeccaRonane.com and you can follow her on Twitter here.

Caumont Art Center Opens in Aix May 6
The new Caumont Art Center opens in Aix on May 6, with a major show featuring 60 works by Venetian master Canaletto (1697-1768). The show, called Canaletto--Roma, London, Venice: The Triumph of Light, runs until September 13, 2015.
Sixty paintings and drawings from international public and private collections will present the artist through all the different phases of his career.
The Caumont Art Center (officially called Caumont Centre d'Art) was conceived to celebrate and promote a wide range of fine arts and is a major opening for this city of of 143,000, the birthplace of Paul Cézanne (1839–1906).
Each year, the Center will stage two major temporary exhibits devoted to the grand masters of art history from the 14th to the 20th century. A summer exhibit will be dedicated to the re-discovery of great masters from a new angle. A winter exhibit will reveal treasures from private collections or from internationally renowned museums. The exhibit space comprises eight rooms, totaling 400 square meters.
The mansion itself, known as the Hôtel de Caumont and built in 1715, is located in the Mazarin neighbourhood, the southern, aristocratic quarter of Aix. Built "between court and garden," it represents an architectural style that first appeared in Paris in the 16th century…a château and park on an urban scale. Four elements characterize the layout: the gate, the courtyard, the main building and the garden, taking visitors from public to private spaces. It was built on a square plot, with the main building to the northeast, the cour d'honneur to the northwest, an enclosed garden on the southeast and servants quarters (with an outer courtyard) on the southwest. In Aix, this type of construction disappeared in 1680, after which mansions were built on street-front sites, distinguishing them from the Parisian style. The Hôtel de Caumont's design, unlike anything in Aix, is considered an excellent example of French 18th-century architecture. The carriage gate, façade and wrought iron bannister are of such high quality that they were listed in a supplementary inventory for Monuments Historiques in 1925. The entire mansion was listed in 1987.
Compared to the exterior façade, the interior is much more elaborately decorated and demonstrates a mix of the Regency and Louis XV styles. More info on the architecture, design and furnishings appears on the Caumont website.
In addition to the temporary exhibits, a 20-minute film dedicated to Paul Cézanne (1839- 1906) will be screened daily in a 100-seat auditorium. "Cézanne in the Aix Region" follows the career of the great Post-Impressionist painter who died of pneumonia in Aix in 1906 and is buried in the Saint-Pierre Cemetery.
The Art Center will also host concerts, dance performances, readings and lectures. It's also available for private functions, meetings and social events.
Facilities include a bookstore, the ground-floor Café Caumont (open daily for breakfast, afternoon tea and sweets, with a terrace overlooking the French gardens) and the Lounge Bar Caumont, open Tuesday to Saturday evenings.
Caumont is operated by Culturespaces, which oversees 14 important French sites, museums and monuments such as the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild (Saint Jean Cap Ferrat), the Carrieres des Lumieres and Château des Baux (Les Baux) and the Roman Theatre in Orange.
Located at #3, rue Joseph Cabassol, the Caumont Art Center is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm (October to April) and until 7 pm (April to October).

I've been wanting to write about Elizabeth Bard for a while now and her new book gives me a perfect excuse. It comes out on April 7 and it looks every bit as delicious as its predecessor, Lunch in Paris: A Love Story with Recipes, which was a New York Times bestseller, an international bestseller and winner of the 2010 Gourmand World Cookbook Award for Best First Cookbook (USA).
And, because I live to please you, I've asked Elizabeth and her publisher Little, Brown and Company, for three copies of Picnic in Provence to give away. Of course, they said bien sur!
Elizabeth is an American journalist and author, born in New York City and raised in Teaneck, New Jersey. She graduated summa cum laude from Cornell University with a degree in English Literature and later earned a Masters degree in Art History from The Courtauld Institute of Art, London.
Elizabeth's articles on food, art, travel and digital culture have appeared in The New York Times, The International Herald Tribune, The Washington Post, Wired, Marie Claire and Harper's Bazaar.
Since 2009, she and her husband Gwendal have lived in the tiny Provencal town of Céreste, where they own and operate the artisanal ice cream company Scaramouche.
The first book, Lunch in Paris, told Elizabeth's story of cute-meeting the perfect Frenchman at a conference in London, and chucking her life plans to move to Paris to marry him.
Picnic in Provence picks up where Lunch in Paris left off, or, as the author says, "it's about all the things that happen after the happily ever after: marriage, motherhood, entrepreneurship...and in our case, ice cream!"
"It's about unexpected choices and how they can be the best choices we make," she continues. "There's no five year plan in the world that would have gotten me here. And yet it's exactly the right place to be."
The 336-page hardcover has 60 recipes and is also available in ebook and audiobook versions.
You can see a trailer for it here.
Elizabeth first met Gwendal at an academic conference when she was a student in London. "I asked what his research was about," she recalls, "which is as good a pick-up line as any in academia. He was finishing up a PhD in computer science and I was just starting a Master's in Art History. So anyone who says you can't meet the love your life in a lecture on a Hypertext Version of Finnegan's Wake is wrong..."
The crafty American soon made an excuse to come to Paris for the weekend. Next thing she knew she was back and forthing on the Eurostar--they wouldn't be married if it wasn't for the Eurostar, she tells me—and soon Elizabeth had a decision to make: go back to New York to pursue her dream of being a museum curator...or take that flying leap and move to Paris for love.
She chose Paris, of course, and the couple married in 2003. Those first years in Paris, she worked as arts journalist and as a private museum guide. Eventually, she realized that "everything I'd learned about France I'd learned autour de la table –around the table. So I decided to write about my experiences from the 'market' point of view, and include recipes with every chapter. That's how Lunch in Paris was born."
On a last romantic jaunt before their baby arrived—he's now five –the couple traveled down to the Luberon in Provence... and a chance encounter led them to the wartime home of the famous poet and WWII Resistance leader René Char, whom Gwendal had long admired.
"In what felt like a brush with fate, the house was for sale," she remembers. "Something about it felt perfect--inevitable." Under the spell of the house and its unique history—Char buried his most famous manuscript there--Elizabeth and Gwendal decide to up and move--lock, stock and Le Creuset--to the French countryside.
The full story of how they found their house is here.
''Almost as soon as we arrived in Céreste,'' she continues, ''we knew we wanted our careers to become more local. Gwendal was working as an executive in Digital Cinema. In the spring of 2012, he got a call about a job with Warner Brothers. He'd never really wanted a studio job...he was more of an entrepreneur. We had a long think about what we really wanted and we realized we wanted to do something that would be fun for us and good for the town, something that would allow us share the amazing local flavors we'd discovered here: melons so juicy they drip down to your elbows, strawberries that taste like sunshine." They spent a year getting things together--six months of vanilla testing!--and opened Scaramouche on a rainy day in April, 2013.
Word spread quickly and in August 2014, TripAdvisor published their list of the top ten ice cream parlors in France: Scaramouche was tied for #5.
Scaramouche is now a local mainstay and a destination. People come for classics like salted caramel ice cream and bitter cacao sorbet and come back for the odd ones: 1001 Nuits (Raz-el-Hanout ice cream with grilled almonds), Pastis sorbet, Rose geranium ice cream with pistachios, and a brand-new black truffle ice cream made with truffles from the nearby farm Les Pastras.
Elizabeth, Gwendal and their team make all their own ice creams and sorbets in a lab on the outskirts of town. They use raw milk from a dairy in Volx (don't worry, the milk is pasteurized during the ice cream making process), organic eggs, and the best local fruit they can find. Flavors change with the season...and there's always a line in June when the first tubs of cherry sorbet arrive.
For those who can't make it to Cereste, the products can be found at La Bris de Glace in the center of Bonnieux, an ice cream shop launched a year ago by the owners of the restaurant Le Fournil next door. It's also available at Luberon Paysan in Apt and Naturellement Paysan in Cousellet. For more places, check the Scaramouche website.
And you can look for their ice cream truck--the "Scaramobile"--in and around Banon this summer.
Ok so what about the new book? Filled with recipes such as stuffed zucchini flowers, fig tart, and honey and thyme ice cream, Picnic in Provence is about love, family and building a business but also about a cook's initiation into classic Provencal cuisine. Throughout, Elizabeth reminds us that life--in and out of the kitchen--is a rendezvous with the unexpected.
"If you had told me on my wedding day that, ten years later, I'd be standing in a field in Provence making small talk with skinny cows," she writes on page 1, "I would have nodded politely and with a twist of my graduated pearls, said that you had mistaken me for someone else." The skinny cows produce the perfect milk for the ice cream, by the way.
In advance of the book's April 7 launch, positive reviews are streaming in. Kirkus Reviews said: "Like the Provençal food and lifestyle it celebrates, Bard's book is one to be savored slowly and with care. Delectable reading."
Ok on to the giveaway! To enter to win a copy, just leave a comment below, under COMMENTS. Tell us about a lifelong dream of yours (fulfilled or not), or perhaps about your own experience taking a big leap of faith. Tell us your favorite summer ice cream story...or about the book you're writing...or anything you feel like sharing! Just please be sure to leave us your email so we can reach you if you win.

December 28, 2017 Opinion » Editorial
Whistler's success a reflection of those who call it home
photo by Mike Crane/Tourism Whistler
It's always fun and actually quite amazing to read through Pique's annual "Best of Whistler" feature.
It speaks volumes about why we are a No. 1-ranked resort in the world. We have restaurants that we love, which are also some of the best in Canada — think Bearfoot Bistro, Araxi, Quattro, Red Door, Rimrock and more.
We have outdoor adventure in spades, whether it's a simple hike in the forests and mountains or an ATV or snowmobile tour.
And, of course, we have the best downhill mountain biking in the world, and the best skiing and riding, too.
We have retailers that have been in business for decades and some that are new — all of which understand that we are in this together.
But all these things are just that, things.
What makes the experiences stand out are the interactions we have with the people of our community, and I would argue it is the same for the visitor. The one-on-one help and service the guest gets from those around them in any number of businesses is a huge part of what makes a vacation memorable — and one worth repeating.
As we look back at 2017, this underlying reality has coloured many of the decisions made by local government.
We see it in the push for more employee-restricted housing and we see it even in the election of long-time local Cathy Jewett to council — not only is this a person with a long view of the resort and its growth, Jewett has volunteered in organizations that see firsthand the social fall out when people begin the slow slide into becoming unable to keep their heads above water.
New Whistler Housing Authority (WHA) units have just come online in Cheakamus — and no surprise, they were full right away. And that's even with the strict rules in place for rental.
Did you know that to rent a two-bedroom place you had to have three people — so a single mom and her teenage son couldn't apply unless one of them doubled up?
And since the building was a partnership between BC Housing and the WHA, the gross income for the two-bedroom couldn't exceed $100,000. So if you had a couple and a friend living there, you couldn't earn over $100,000 collectively (and you need pay stubs to prove that) but the rent is $1,775 a month.
Last week, we learned of a new private developer's idea to build housing for employees. At $3 a square foot, it's likely that it's out of the financial reach of most frontline workers. That would make the 23 one-bedroom units proposed for the development $1,971 a month to rent, (as compared to $1,036 in Squamish and $1,223 in Vancouver), the 33 one-bedroom units with a den would come to $2,325 a month in rent (that means you need to earn $93,000 a year to live here alone), while the 18 two-bedroom units proposed would cost $2,487.
Of course, we need diversity and variety if we are to address housing at all price points but the greatest need for housing right now is for "affordable" housing.
This new development clearly doesn't address that need.
Obviously, building a complex like this, where the developer has to pay for the land, means that the prices are bound to be higher.
This means that the affordable option is always going to come through the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) and the WHA by building employee-restricted housing where the land is free — namely at Cheakamus.
Then there is the bed unit allotment for the Nordic site.
(A bed unit is a measure of development intended to reflect servicing and facility requirements for one person. The bed unit measurement was introduced in Whistler's first OCP adopted in 1976 as a means to manage the future growth of Whistler to be consistent with infrastructure capacity, highway capacity and ski lift capacity.)
As it stands, the Nordic site has six and that would rise to 222 bed units under the current plan if approved. Though likely a bit out of date now, it is generally understood that a bed unit is worth about $90,000 — doing the math, that means the developer of the Nordic site is a getting a $19.4-million gift.
(And the RMOW can consider this while continuing its plan to "loan" with interest $1 million to Whistler Community Services to help with budget increases to the cost of its new build for the Re-Use-It Centre at Nesters).
According to the RMOW, Whistler will reach its bed cap at 61,513 — currently 53,038 are developed.
No one said dealing with affordable housing was going to be easy.
But as we celebrate the best of what Whistler has to offer and get ready to welcome a new year let's not forget that the very fabric of the resort comes from the people who make up this community, and having safe, warm, affordable housing is a key part of keeping that fabric strong.

It was more than two months since I went to Baler with the Lunti peeps. Lunti is the enviroment and health awareness club of my company. Aside from sight-seeing and bonding, we also did some environment-related activities there, we can call that voluntourism.
I almost did not make it because of the heavy rains in Manila. However, it was a sunny day in Baler when we got there. Now I understand why some of my colleagues are willing to make an eight-hour trip to go to the beach.
Note: Some pictures are kinda dark because of the Lomo effect.
damn! i missed the crispy pata and mangrove planting. it would have been interesting to try those things.

The leaked report shows concern for the diminishing state of critical habitat for our unique biodiversity and ecosystems is wide-spread. It is reassuring to know that staff at DES see the need for an internal audit into current threatened species management and recognise the abandonment of threatened species by successive governments.
QCC will be following up on the Department's response to the Queensland Audit Office's report and looks forward to working with conservation and sustainability staff to develop an overall strategy. Such a strategy is needed to address the cumulative impacts of habitat loss on biodiversity and ecosystems and to direct adequate resources to improve monitoring and compliance for the effective protection and management of Queensland's threatened species.
At QCC we see passionate people in the Queensland community working hard every day to speak up for the species and ecosystems that cannot speak for themselves. We call on the Queensland Government to follow the lead of our community and take bold steps to do what is required to protect nature for future generations.

I listened to my first Claire Contreras book a while ago, and I knew I needed more. And The Player was a lot of fun! I always like it when the Player has to work for what he wants!
Ahhh! What a fantastic listen The Player turned out to be! It was amusing to see two people from completely different worlds slowly fall for one another! The player had to chase the girl, which in Warren's case, he wasn't used to doing. And Camila, she really didn't want anything to do with him initially, but his persistence wore him down!
Warren was attracted to Camila from the first moment he saw her. She was fighting for her livelihood and those of her friends. He liked how feisty and driven she was to get what she needed! She also had no idea of who he was and treated him like any other guy that would hit on her.
Camila had a tough time growing up, and was not going to allow some big company drive her out of her home and neighbourhood. Even some guy, thinking that he's above everyone was not going to win her over. But each time she went out with Warren, she began to warm up to him. It was sweet to see their relationship turn physical and that she was willing to let Warren into her life.
I loved seeing Warren squirm! He knew what he wanted and kept pulling out the big guns to win over the girl. I liked that Camila was unimpressed, and she would then show Warren New York on her budget. To see him uncomfortable, but willing to endure it all for her, was cute.
I really enjoyed the narration by Zachary Webber and Megan Tusing, they were both great to listen to. Warren had lived over in England for a number of years, so had a bit of a British accent which was done well throughout the story. I liked the way that Claire Contreras wove the story too, and allowed the relationship to develop gradually, and threw in some hurdles to spice up the story. This is the second book I've read by Contreras, and I'm excited to read more!
This was a great end to a friends date! I knew Warren couldn't let the night end without overstepping the rules!
We smiled at each other once more before she closed the door. I'd kept my mouth shut because I didn't know what to say to her, but the moment she turned around and started to unlock the door to the building, I bolted out of the car and jogged toward her. Camila turned around as I reached her.
"I'm sorry," I said, earning a confused look from her as I cupped the back of her neck and pulled her face to mine.
Camila gasped as my lips crashed down on hers, her hands flying to my chest, but not pushing away. She grabbed a fistful of my shirt and pulled me closer, as if any space left between us was too wide.

Q: How is registering a pretty printer helpful in GDB I tried registering a pretty printer. It does show up when I write "info pretty-printer" on the gdb command prompt. But how does this help. I have to do everything I did before registering a pretty printer. e.g., Before registering, if I sourced my pretty printer and then called the invoke method with "command-name expr", I still do the same after registering. What value does registering bring to my pretty printer.

A: If your pretty printer has an associated lookup function, the gdb print command can call your pretty printer with no need to explicitly invoke a command provided by your pretty printer. This page includes an example which uses the gdb.printing module to associate two pretty printers with two regular expressions via gdb.printing.RegexpCollectionPrettyPrinter. Perhaps you can also find native examples by chasing down the contents of gdb.pretty_printers; mine includes a libstdcxx.v6.printers.Printer object and a gdb.printing.RegexpCollectionPrettyPrinter object; the former is defined, on my system, in /usr/share/gcc-4.8/python/libstdcxx/v6/printers.py.

A:
Before registering, if I sourced my pretty printer and then called the
  invoke method with "command-name expr", I still do the same after
  registering.

From this sentence it sounds like you are confusing commands and pretty-printers.  A command implementation has an invoke method.  A pretty-printer does not.  Furthermore, a command is invoked from the gdb command line like (gdb) command-name, while a pretty-printer is invoked only when a value is being printed, say via print mumble (or at other points, like when an argument's value is printed during a backtrace).
Registering your command as if it were a pretty-printer is not useful and will probably just cause the occasional Python exception to be printed.

Establishing a company in Estonia is fast and cheap, The Estonian State favours entrepreneurship, thus the paperwork related to company registration is continuously decreasing and the private limited company (which is most popular form of business in Estonia) can be established in internet with only one day or even within one hour. If you do not have the Estonian address required for establishing a company, you can order it from the local cooperation partner (virtual office services). In addition to low start-up expenses you can also save on taxes.
Which factors do help to save on taxes in Estonia?
The corporate income tax is 20% and this only on the dividends paid. As the re-invested profit has been taxed with 0%, Estonia is a specially favourable location for the fast growing and developing companies.
The personal income tax rate is 20% and this is not applied to the personal dividend income. This means that you do not have to worry about double taxation.
Only land, not the buildings located thereon, is taxed with property tax in Estonia.
Estonia has a territorial tax system which excludes the obligation to pay taxes in Estonia on the income earned abroad.
Thanks to highly developed e-services and possibilities to apply for e-residency, you can establish a company in Estonia without entering the country not even once. Make payments in internet bank, submit reports and declare payments in the internet environments and use for example Skype application, also created by Estonians, for the communication with cooperation partners. The establishing of a company in Estonia enables you to live and travel where you like, the only precondition is the existence of internet connection. If you wish to come to the spot, you can do it by plane, ship, train as well as by bus or car. Tallinn is only 3-hour flight away from the biggest European cities.
There are a lot of reasons why to establish a company in Estonia. See more: Why Estonia?
Do you have questions about establishing a company in Estonia?
The establishing of a local company is easier, if you are aware of all more important laws, requirements and taxes. We provide professional advisory, accounting and virtual office services for your company in Estonia, so you do not have to spend time on the search and study of necessary information.

Q: dconf - Custom icons are not displayed in the panel menu The custom icon custom-symbolic.svg is not displayed in the panel menu.
This is a segment of a dconf file:

and has a resolution of 51x51 pixels.
The owner and permissions of that icon are identical to those of all other icons in that path.
If instead of custom-symbolic I insert cinnamon-symbolic, which is present at the same path, the panel menu icon is displayed correctly, as well as all the other icons already present in the path:

Ø This course is written with the aim of making staff aware of the potential hazards involved with chemicals in the workplace and to instill in them the need to think about what they are doing.
Therefore, it is essential that all staff be made aware that the use of chemicals and equipment in a work environment is potentially dangerous. Staff should take all possible steps to minimize and guard against accidents; and adopt safe work practices at all times. It is important that all laboratory staff adopt a new analytical psychology. This psychology necessitates them becoming totally aware of the work process they are performing, and understanding the techniques and chemicals they are using, to minimize the chances of human error.
