Beer & Film Pairing No. 5: Malheur + AULD LANG SYNE
IndiestreetArt of Brewing
Champagne. What a New Year's cliche! Why not try popping a totally different kind of bottle this year?! Our end of year gift to you is another round-up of the best in indie film and craft beer on the scene! As the cursed year of 2016 rolls out and a fresh, optimistic 2017 hopefully blossoms, Indie Street wants to wish all you film and beer lovers the happiest of new beginnings. We heard the first step towards change is making resolutions. So, make adventure a New Year's resolution this time around, even if it's just an adventure for your taste buds. Advintage's Jayme, our partner in beer and cinema related crime, has teamed up with us once again for an end of December offering. The theme this month? Out with the old, in with the new. Trust us, no one wants to be left behind in 2016. So, put the bubbly away and get ready for a twist on the old New Year's classics! Film: Auld Lang Syne We can't say enough about why we love this film. It's funny, witty, and honest with a lovely, kind-hearted, amazing team behind its production. What more could you want? Take our word for it and read our review of one of Indie Street's latest VOD releases. Like popping a bottle of champagne, the film shows us just what happens on New Year's Eve when secrets between friends get bottled up until the point of exploding pressure. If you like pie, off the wall comedies about the trials and tribulations of human connection and also appreciate the arts and following your passions, you've got to check out Auld Lang Syne before the clock strikes midnight! As the old Robert Burns' poem/tune asks, should old acquaintance be forgot? You be the judge! Just don't do it empty handed! Beer: Malheur Bière Brut Champagne is the obvious choice of liquid magic for ringing in the New Year, but why not take a different corked route to 2017? Malheur may mean "misfortune" in French, but this beer is anything but! Jayme says of his champagne-style beer pick: "Malheur Bière Brut, of the few champagne-style beers I've had, is my favorite. Brewed with champagne yeast and put through the same rigorous process (called methode champenoise, which is rather intensive for a beer if you look into it), it has many of the same characteristics of fine sparkling wine but with the build of a very nice Belgian beer. Crisp and a little sweet with great floral and fruit notes, this is definitely a beer to ring in the new year. Nostrovia!" There you go: marvelous film, delicious beer. A match made in heaven. End 2016 on a cheery buzz and give our December pairing a try before it's too late!! We wish you all a happy, healthy and safe New Year! Remember: Drink and watch responsibly!
Jump Into the "Bloody" Brilliant World of THE MAN WITH
IndiestreetIndie Film Reviews
Imagine: the perfect moment. Right there in front of you. To capture on film and present to the world… but there's a catch. Embracing this moment, while worthy of recording and preserving in some capacity, is 100% unethical, pretty much illegal, immorally compromising and just downright wrong. And yet, it's beautiful, raw in its vulnerability and it's right there. You've got the camera. What do you do? Chance the filmic high or put that visual story-lust aside and possibly save a life? This is the crux of Ed Christmas' debut feature "The Man with Four Legs". A genre-twisting experiment in drama, comedy and documentary, this British indie is 100% fictional but just as much believable in its portrayal of human flaws. Imperfections can be ugly but they can also be magnetic. In "The Man with Four Legs" we are faced with two very different types of flawed yet impressive people. Christmas introduces us to this semi-exaggerated reality through the lens of a group of young, irrational filmmakers hell-bent on documenting an out-of-this-world subject that fell into their laps. What's that? Oh, just the mysterious James Davis (played by prism of an actor, Simon Dobson), a fanatic fantasist and amnesiac that believes his past was totally different from what it actually was. Or was it? The more he pieces together bits of his memories, the eager doc team, led by ruthless, keen-eye'd Angus (Richard Southgate) (with Tom [Daniel Ormorod] and Ethan [Terry Sweeney] somewhat hesitantly by his side), starts to discover this is one very real film project full of twists and turns they never expected it to make. Angus' perfect moment, the total breakdown and disillusionment of a mind, is handed to him on a shaky silver platter. So, what's an aspiring filmmaker to do? You'll just have to enter into this uncomfortable world of missing morals and memories to find out. Trust us, the twist at the end will leave you reeling. There's truly something about the dark, twisted beauty of "The Man with Four Legs" that makes this film a real treat for indie film lovers looking for a story totally different and out of left field. The multi-layered bits of faux-documentary, drama, and dark comedy make you question everything, just like the characters in the film. The mirror effect is unnerving, but isn't that the magic of a good film? You can catch the bloody brilliant British indie gem now across several VOD platforms, including within Indie Street's own library! Be warned: this a surreal tale that attempts to explore that fine line between reality and fantasy in the most surprising, disturbing of ways. Make it through, you'll be awarded with a mind-blowing indie experience.
Ready to give it a go, then? Watch "The Man With Four Legs" now on Indie Street!

Film Review: Celia Rowlson-Hall's Debut Pilgrimage MA
A scorching sun. A Western route. A man in a car, destination unknown. A woman, seemingly aimless, offering purpose and direction and yet nothing at all. She is our modern day Madonna - and I don't mean the musician. I'm speaking biblically. Celia Rowlson-Hall's debut feature "MA" is a dreamlike journey, probably unlike anything else offered on film in recent years. Be warned, though watching is a challenge, patience will reward you with imagery, dancing, and genius that are far from the expected. With "MA", you'll find just what you need below the surreal simmering surface of creation. Rowlson-Hall's unconventional offering attempts to follow the story of a modern day Virgin Mary, making her pilgrimage across the Western landscape - the desert. End goal? Both Las Vegas and birth. The Creation of our Christ Figure. Sound strange? Well, only silent choreography and movement lead the journey. Looking for words? Literally, try the Bible. But if you're looking for something different, almost transcendental, that doesn't utilize the moving image medium the way we've all narratively become accustomed to, then "MA" might be right up your alley. Our "Mary", donning an XL T-shirt and cowboy boots, traverses across the baron land, the heat almost permeating off the screen. She encounters a troupe of bizarre characters along the way - some oppressive, some impressive. Her companion for much of the journey is Daniel, your gentle, average man (played by Andrew Pastides) - a sort of "Joseph" if you will. After the two are separated later in the film, she becomes both characters, masculine, preserving the tendency of this film to steer a bit off course from how we usually perceive Mary's story. Every movement, costume, setting, and character becomes important to note, jumbled up and left to beautifully come together in one of the most bizarre cinematic puzzles I've ever witnessed. Celia Rowlson-Hall created a dance-based ode to spiritual concepts that translates if you know how to tune to this very particular frequency of storytelling. Try to join Rowlson-Hall's pilgrimage blindly and silently - let feeling guide your way and emotion help you through this film. Give into the surreal nature with an active mind and patient eyes. Trust us, it's not an easy thing to digest. But if you're looking for a festival fare challenge, beautifully shot and uniquely staged, get acquainted with "MA", well, ASAP! A true visionary work of art and inspiring voice, further cementing Celia Rowlson-Hall on our one-to-watch list.
The Past Inside the Present is a VIMEO STAFF PICK!
IndiestreetAnimation
To celebrate one of our favorite shorts of the last year getting STAFF PICKED on Vimeo, enjoy this reposting of our review of "The Past Inside the Present"! ------------------------------- Ever feel like everyday is the same? We all sit down, plug in and press play. Phones, computers, TVs, tablets. You name it, someone's connected to one. It's a routine we've come to adapt our lives to - day in and day out. A picture here...a video there...a FB post here...a tweet about something inane there. We've become a society so obsessed with documenting our lives within past and present moments that it actually makes the future seem like some intangible concept that never comes into fruition. Every second lived becomes the past at some point. We want to share and we want to document so we can go back and relive. Memories are best preserved and accessed in a physical or digital form, no? Well, what would happen if we totally escaped from the consequences of both our current and future obligations by having the ability to literally crawl back into the best instances of our memories? All of those moments we documented, in a cache or library of some kind, literally available and at the ready to welcome us back with open arms? Filmmaker James Siewert's animated short "The Past Inside the Present" brings us into an existence where all of this (and more!) is possible. His painstakingly handcrafted world shows us what could come from constantly being plugged in, portraying the soulless black and white by-product of shunning the idea of free, undocumented living. This insanely animated, slightly cyberpunk wonder is what Siewert calls an allegorical tale, displaying the actions of a couple trying to save their dying relationship by renewing it. And how so? By literally connecting themselves into a recorded moment from their time together. Yes, in this world, analog media literally works as a trippy, fucked up time traveling device. Like robots, they wire themselves in and for just a little while, disappear into the abyss. True renewal. While the act of unfulfilled but comfortably repetitive living seems like it would be a safe zone, that feeling is tangled here in an intricate jumble of insanity, madness and eventual emptiness. Past meets present meets future in one overlapping instance that seems to explode into infinity until it's all over and numb reality sets back in. It's dark, it's twisted and it's all very fascinating to disappear into for the 13-min journey. Ask yourself, is this the future world we really want to live in? In order to answer that, experiencing this film and its underlying lesson is a must. In the end, maybe...just maybe...we might realize we don't want this life outside of the confines of the film. The irony? We have to plug-in to watch and learn this fact. That's life in all its past, present and future glory. But oh, what a beautifully hand drawn payoff! Siewert must be one of the most diligent and innovative up-and-coming animator/directors out there and is definitely one to watch out for in the near future. From animations to music videos, he's got his talented rotoscoping, cinematic hands in a little bit of everything - a true connoisseur of independent creation. "The Past Inside the Present" was a project years in the making, meticulously filmed and drawn frame by frame by a small group. Each individual drawing combines with the others in order to create a dark treat that you should definitely feast your eyes upon and consume. The great news is that Indie Street gets to help release this must-see, mind-blowing film out into the wild, where it belongs, to claim its plugged-in victims. Watching this short and taking in its extras all feels like an adventure - one into the mind of a talented filmmaker that truly seems to understand the way humans are connecting and disconnecting with each other as well as where we came from and where we are now. Truly a case of the past inside the present. Check out the trailer below and then head on over to BitTorrent Now to download and watch the full film!

Beer & Film Pairing No. 6: The Alchemist Cookbook + Unobtanium
Red hearts. Pink hearts. Roses. Chocolate. Kisses galore. The symbols and stereotypes of love we've come to expect. And what happens when they all culminate into one single day? Valentine's Day, that's what. A "holiday" of sorts that seems to always pop up unexpectedly, reminding us of our present lovers OR of our overwhelming solitude. Though the 2017 edition of this annoyingly omnipresent day is fast approaching, we're up for a little diversion. So calls for another installment of our monthly discovery into the best in VOD and craft beer on the scene. Jayme G., Warehouse Supervisor at Advintage, is bringing us something a little less lovey dovey and a little more, well, psychotic this February. So, make plans to stay in on the 14th. Grab a heart shaped box full of chocolates (all for yourself) and slip into something sexy (or maybe just warm and comfortable), and get ready to get a little crazy! FILM: The Alchemist Cookbook"The Alchemist Cookbook" follows the bizarre story of Sean, an outcast that isolates himself - along with his cat - in the middle of nowhere in order to carry out some rather...unusual...experiments. Though seemingly "scientific" in nature, things begin to get far more sinister as Sean's alchemist trials and tribulations veer more towards some type of black voodoo magic than a high school chemistry experiment. Enticed? You should be. "The Alchemist Cookbook" is almost, just almost unlike anything I've ever seen before. A film more fitting to Halloween, we think this VOD indie is actually perfect for all you anti-Valentine's Day loners. We'll refrain from telling you too much about the film and tell ya to just check out the trailer below! If it's your cup of tea (or beer!), well then we've brewed up the perfect crazy pairing to go with this one-of-a-kind story!
BEER: Straight To Ale's Unobtanium Jayme shares with us one of his favorite concoctions, suiting to this satantic, tooth-pulling tale: "With a heady film like "The Alchemist Cookbook", my mind immediately jumps to high ABV and barrel-aged beers and Straight To Ale's Unobtanium seems an eerily perfect match - right down to the can design. The 12oz can literally features the devil in a lab coat! Unobtanium, an old "scientific" term for a material that perfectly fits the needs of a project but doesn't actually exist, is surprisingly approachable given its style. I guess you could say the same thing about black magic too, in that the first taste is so welcoming that it's easy to get carried away, and at 11% ABV, getting carried away can get you in trouble fast! Don't let black magic be the unobtanium in your life, try a nice beer instead! With a toffee aroma, a bit of dark fruit and vanilla flavor, a small bite of oak and alcohol, pretty soon you'll realize you have everything you need right there. Shoutout to Wayerbacher Brewing's Insanity, too, another barrel-aged beer, because... well, you get it." There you go: the perfect pair for this season of love! Maybe even soul mates! And no Tinder, online dating or matchmaking required! Become a third wheel this Valentine's Day with beer and VOD lovers that will make all your long term dating, boring friends jealous!

The Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation is an American aircraft, a member of the Lockheed Constellation aircraft line. The L-1049 was Lockheed's response to the successful Douglas DC-6 airliner, first flying in 1950. The aircraft was also produced for both the United States Navy as the WV / R7V and U.S. Air Force as the C-121 for transport, electronics, and airborne early warning and control aircraft.
Beginning in 1943, Lockheed planned stretched variants of the Constellation family. The first was the L-049 with a fuselage lengthened by 13 feet (4.0 meters) and the second the L-749 stretched 18 feet (5.5 meters).
Douglas launched a stretched version of its DC-6 airliner as a cargo transport, designated DC-6A, for both military and civilian operators. Douglas was soon to launch a passenger version (the DC-6B) of this new aircraft. The DC-6B could carry 23 more passengers than Lockheed's current production L-749 Constellation.
The Wright R-3350 Turbo-compound engine used on later models of the L-1049
In 1950, Lockheed had repurchased the XC-69 Constellation prototype from the Hughes Tool Company. The XC-69 was equipped with four Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engines instead of the Wright R-3350s used on production models (Lockheed had installed R-2800s on the prototype to test them as an option for the L-049). Lockheed stretched XC-69 by 18 ft (5.5 m), to become the basis for the L-1049 Super Constellation. The aircraft first flew later in 1950, still fitted with R-2800 engines. It was then fitted with R-3350 956-C18CA-1 engines with jet stacks for slightly increased thrust.
Later modifications included strengthened landing gear and larger vertical stabilizers. Eastern Air Lines ordered 10 aircraft, while Trans World Airlines (TWA) followed with an order for 14. The L-1049 had some 550 improvements and modifications compared to the L-749, including greater fuel capacity, rectangular windows, larger cockpit windshields and improved heating and pressurization.
An Air France L-1049C at London Heathrow Airport
In 1953, R-3350 Turbo-compounds were made available for civil use. Lockheed incorporated them into the L-1049C, which first flew on February 17 of that year. The R-3350-972-TC18DA-1 turbo-compound engines on the L-1049C had a new turbine system, the Power Recovery Turbines (PRT). Each engine's exhaust gas flowed through three turbines, increasing power by 550 hp (410 kW). One drawback of the PRT was the visible flame from the exhaust pipes; this was resolved by placing armor plating 2 in (5.1 cm) thick under the stack. The L-1049C had a higher cruising speed and climb rate. Although lacking the range of the DC-6B, the L-1049C had identical performance to the Douglas and could carry a larger payload. The wings of the new model were strengthened, cabin soundproofing was increased, and the landing gear retraction system was improved. A new series of interior layouts was offered for the new model; "Siesta" (47 passengers with increased luxury), "Intercontinental" (54 - 60 passengers) and "Inter-urban" (105 passengers). Each of these new layouts included reading lights at each seat. Forty-eight L-1049Cs were built, being used by Eastern, TWA, Air France, KLM, Trans-Canada Air Lines, Qantas, Air India, Pakistan International Airlines, Avianca, Iberia, Línea Aeropostal Venezolana and Cubana de Aviación.
A Trans-Canada Air Lines L-1049C at Heathrow in 1954
A freighter version, the L-1049D, first flew in August 1954. It had two cargo doors on the left side and a reinforced magnesium floor as used on the R7V-1 military variant of the L-1049B. The L-1049D could carry a 36,916 lb (16,745 kg) payload and had a volume of 5,579 cu ft (158.0 m3). At the time of its first flight, the L-1049D was the largest civil cargo aircraft. In the end four were produced, all delivered to Seaboard & Western Airlines. Two of the four L-1049D aircraft were later converted to L-1049H standards.
The L-1049E was more successful; 28 were delivered to eight airlines. Similar to the L-1049C, the L-1049E was able to carry the same load as the L-1049D. The L-1049C and L-1049E could not usually fly Europe to New York nonstop against the wind. Lockheed thought of fitting a new variant based on the L-1049E with more powerful engines, but the project was cancelled. A different variant surfaced: using the L-1049C as a base, R-3350-972-TC18DA-3 turbo-compound engines were fitted. The aircraft could carry 71 to 95 passengers at a speed of 331 mph (533 km/h). Wingtip tanks of 1,037 US gal (3,930 L) total capacity were incorporated, increasing range by 1,110 miles (1,790 km). A new Bendix or RCA weather radar could be installed in the nose, which changed the nosecone shape. New Hamilton Standard or Curtiss Electric propellers were offered. This new version of the L-1049 with over 100 modifications from the L-1049C was unveiled as the L-1049G (the L-1049F being already used for the military C-121C). Over 100 L-1049G aircraft were ordered by sixteen airlines. The L-1049G flew on December 17, 1954, and entered service with TWA and Northwest in 1955.[1] The nickname "Super G" (first used by TWA) was later adopted for the L-1049G.

The L-1049H flew on November 20, 1956. Called "Super H" and "Husky", the L-1049H was a convertible passenger/freight aircraft, mating a C-121C-based fuselage with L-1049G components. The cargo hold had a volume of 565 cu ft (16.0 m3) when including the lower hold. The aircraft could carry up to 120 people with seats, luggage lockers and toilets all available along with the option of decorating the walls of the aircraft. When not in use, the luggage lockers and seats could be stowed in the lower hold. The aircraft entered service with Qantas a month later. Some L-1049G and H aircraft in later production were fitted with the TC-18EA series engines used on the L-1649 Starliner. A final variant was planned in 1957, known as the L-1049J. Powered by four R-3350-988-TC-18EA-6 engines, the L-1049J was based on the L-1049H with the wings of the R7V-2 Constellation and an extra fuselage-mounted fuel tank.

The first production L-1049 flew on July 14, 1951, and received certification in November 1951. The Turbo-compound versions of the R-3350 engine were not yet available for civil use, so the engines were 2,700–2,800 hp (2,000–2,100 kW) instead of the Turbo-compound's 3,250–3,400 hp (2,420–2,540 kW). The aircraft entered service with Eastern Air Lines in December 1951 flying Miami to New York. Eastern would later operate the L-1049C and L-1049G. TWA 1049s began flying in 1952; TWA L-1049Gs flew transatlantic starting in 1955. In 1956 a TWA L-1049 collided with a United Airlines DC-7 over the Grand Canyon, leading to the deaths of all on both aircraft.[2]
KLM introduced the L-1049C on the Amsterdam to New York run in 1953; it also used L-1049Gs to Tokyo and Sydney. Air France used its L-1049Cs across the Atlantic. Seaboard & Western Airlines used L-1049Ds on transatlantic cargo flights to Germany and Switzerland. From the summer of 1955 to the spring of 1956 the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) leased three Seaboard L-1049Ds for passenger flights. Northwest Orient Airlines L-1049Gs flew Seattle, Washington to Tokyo, Okinawa and Manila in 1955–57. The scheduled freight airline, Flying Tiger Line, used the L-1049H on North American routes and service for the Military Air Transport Service. A Flying Tigers L-1049H was the last Constellation built, in 1959.
The first airline in Latin America with Super Constellations (L-1049E and L-1049G) was Cubana de Aviación, flying them from Havana to Madrid, New York City and Mexico City. Other Latin American Super Constellations were on Línea Aeropostal Venezolana, Avianca, Real Transportes Aéreos, and Varig.
Iberia 1049Gs continued to fly Madrid-Santa Maria-Havana weekly until 1966.
Most Super Constellations were retired by their original operators after the advent of the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8; the last passenger L1049 flight in the US was an Eastern shuttle EWR-DCA in February 1968. The last commercial flight of the L-1049 Super Constellation was in 1993, when the Federal Aviation Administration banned all airlines from the Dominican Republic that flew Constellations to the United States (due to safety concerns).[citation needed] The Dominican airlines were the last operators of any version of the Constellation.

Numerous military versions were operated by the United States Navy and United States Air Force as transports and AWACS platforms. The WV-1 Navy version was used during the Cold War with picket ships on the DEW (Distant Early Warning) lines, one east and one west. These lines were to give early warning of an attack by the USSR. The east line was from Halifax, NS to the Canary Islands and back. The west line was from Hawaii to Midway Island then up to the Aleutians and back. The flights would last up to 14 hours or more. These aircraft served in the Vietnam War in several roles, including transmitting television programs from the United States for the troops on the ground, and observing the Ho Chi Minh Trail. One of them was shot down by North Korean aircraft in 1969.
The last US military Super Constellation, a one-of-a-kind aircraft designated as a NC-121K, Buno 141292, call sign GD-12, was used by the Navy Squadron VAQ-33 Firebirds stationed at NAS Key West, FL to simulate the Russians. This aircraft was retired in June 1982 by the US Navy and custody was transferred to the Florence Air Museum, Florence, SC (now closed). The aircraft was destroyed during a controlled grass burn that got out of control. The Indian Air Force and Indian Navy used former Air India L-1049C, E and G versions converted by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited for use as Sea Air and Rescue aircraft. They were retired between 1981 and 1983 and replaced by Tupolev Tu-142 aircraft. India was the last military operator of the Constellation.[3]

It's always been a cliché that bad things happen in pairs – and the arrival of monkeypox just as the Covid pandemic began to recede has done little to disprove the theory. But beyond the superficial similarities between the two illnesses, and some of the more dramatic media attention it's enjoyed, how much do monkeypox and Covid really have in common? Andrea Valentino talks to Professor Wafaa El-Sadr of Columbia University, and Professor David Heymann of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, to learn more.
Adangerous virus that arrived from overseas. Thousands of cases worldwide, with thousands more to follow. A rush to vaccinate vulnerable groups. Education and advice campaigns ramped up in multiple languages. A global health emergency declared by the WHO. If all this sounds familiar, it should. For the second time in just a few years, we're facing a global health emergency that, if it hasn't yet taken on the tenor of Covid, certainly sparks the same worried feelings. Yet beyond the headlines, what is monkeypox really, and does it pose similar risks as the pandemic that just passed?
In part, these questions are difficult to answer, if only because monkeypox has just recently transcended its African homeland and spread across the planet. But that hardly means these are questions not worth posing. In the way medical professionals and community activists can use education to fight the disease, or in the way governments have to ramp up vaccine production if they hope to successfully beat the virus, many of the challenges we faced during Covid have returned with monkeypox, and look set to stay relevant long into the future too. Even if monkeypox proves not to be as deadly or as enduring as Covid, it still has to be addressed with a public health strategy.
"It is important to keep in mind that anyone with close contact to someone with monkeypox lesions may become infected."
Professor Wafaa El-Sadr
The jump in infections in the first week of July, without more than 6,000 known to have caught the disease.
Read some of the more breathless reports and you might be tempted to imagine that monkeypox is totally new. In fact, the disease, a virus that originally spread from animals to humans, has been around for years. As long ago as 1958, to give just one example, Danish scientists identified it as a distinctive disease – or perhaps that should be diseases. After all, there are in fact two strains of monkeypox, one more dangerous type originating in the jungles of the Congo basin, and a milder version further west. More to the point, both 'clades' of monkeypox, as they're known officially, have long been endemic across nearly a dozen African countries. The Republic of the Congo has, for instance, recorded more than 1,000 cases in 2022 alone.
Of course, the difference now, explains Wafaa El-Sadr, is that monkeypox in more recent times has left the DRC and is infecting people in New York and London. But how did this happen? El-Sadr, a professor at Columbia University and founder of the International Centre for AIDS Care and Treatment Programs, takes up the story. "It is thought that a person who was incubating the monkeypox infection travelled from one of the endemic countries, developed the disease, and then transmitted it to others through close contact, resulting in the current outbreak in non-endemic countries." That certainly chimes with what we know: unlike Covid, monkeypox is not airborne, instead requiring physical touch, or else contact with infected clothes or bed sheets.
Nor is that the only way that monkeypox differs from Covid. While the latter's symptoms manifest internally – shortness of breath and flu-like symptoms – the most striking indication of monkeypox is pimply rashes on the body itself. Some of the more invisible symptoms include a fever, exhaustion and headaches. If all that sounds rather grim, the physical characteristics of monkeypox can at least be a useful way of figuring out if someone is infected.
"Whether it's monkeypox in the genital area, or monkeypox on another part of the body, just being suspicious of anyone with open sores, making sure that you don't come in physical contact with them, is good advice for everyone," stresses David Heymann, a distinguished epidemiologist and former chairman of Public Health England, who is now a professor at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Community transmission
This last point is important – not least given the demographics that have borne the brunt of monkeypox across Europe and North America. According to a recent paper by the New England Journal of Medicine, around 95% of reviewed cases were transmitted by men during sex with other men. Yet Heymann speculates the gay community's long and unhappy relationship with STDs is arguably at play here. Though monkeypox isn't an actual STD, after all, Heymann hints that long traditions of self-diagnosis and check-ups mean the disease is being "amplified" by the gay community. This education-heavy approach is shadowed by actual rules. In England, to give one example, doctors are required to inform their local council or Health Protection Team if they suspect a patient has monkeypox.
Not that monkeypox – like HIV before it – is a disease only the gay community can catch. For if self-reporting is helping turn that particular group into the virus's reluctant standard bearers, all that's needed to be infected is close contact with infected material, or non-sexual touch with a sick individual. As El-Sadr puts it: "It is important to keep in mind that anyone with close contact to someone with monkeypox lesions may become infected." This is gradually being borne out in the statistics. At the time of writing, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports two cases of monkeypox in children, while a Texan woman recently tested positive. That's echoed by rising case numbers more broadly. Naturally, total cases are still dwarfed by Covid, but the first week of July nonetheless saw a 77% jump in infected individuals, with more than 6,000 people now known to have caught the disease. And that's before you consider the many unrecorded cases that are likely to be circulating too.
Behind these alarming headlines, though, what's the actual threat of monkeypox to the average person? Here, fortunately, there's a spot of good news. "Based on prior information," explains El-Sadr, "most cases tend to be mild or self-limited." That's amply reflected in the figures. No one in the Western world yet is known to have died from monkeypox, testament to the relative gentleness of the West African clade, the one that made the jump from Liberia, Sierra Leone and other endemic countries. In practice, most people can expect their case of monkeypox to remind them of childhood chickenpox, with those tell-tale spots completely disappearing within about a month.
Our passport out of here?
Not that we should lower our guard just yet. For as El-Sadr emphasises, monkeypox can still be dangerous for a minority. For one thing, she explains how lesions in the urethra or anus can cause severe pain, especially when urinating or defecating. Lesions in the eye can cause even nastier problems, especially for immunosuppressed individuals. That's shadowed by broader concerns. We might have been lucky by importing the West African clade – but if the Congolese ever arrives, we risk more serious trouble. Nearly 60 people are estimated to have been killed by Congolese strain so far this year, with some researchers arguing that hundreds of deaths are going unrecorded in isolated jungle settlements.
To put it another way, what's arguably needed in the fight against monkeypox is a response as robust and speedy as the one we eventually saw with Covid, if only to prevent a more serious outbreak in future. As a disease that spreads through close contact, in fact, that response surely begins with keeping infected individuals away from the rest of society. It also means providing people who exhibit severe disease with the treatment they need. One option is antiviral drugs, which El-Sadr stresses are effective, and which have successfully been used to attack the side effects of AIDS.
Then there's the question of vaccines. Like with Covid, they promise to stop monkeypox in their tracks, especially since doctors already have doses at their disposal. "There is a vaccine," says Heymann. "In fact, it's been licensed to prevent monkeypox." Similar to the traditional smallpox vaccine, Heymann adds this new vaccine, known as Jynneos, doesn't replicate in the human body, making it safer for HIV-positive people who are at risk of more serious disease generally. Given that available summary surveillance data from the European Union, as well as separate reports from Portugal, Spain and England suggests that 30% to 51% of patients with monkeypox also have HIV – that's undoubtedly good news.
"Whether it's monkeypox in the genital area, or monkeypox on another part of the body, just being suspicious of anyone with open sores, making sure that you don't come in physical contact with them, is good advice for everyone."
Professor David Heymann
The number of monkeypox cases in the Republic of the Congo.
Of course – as the past few years once again make clear – getting a vaccine approved is only half the battle. The fight against monkeypox might only truly be won if doctors succeed in getting jabs into arms. In part, that's a question of capacity. Like with Covid, governments are rushing to get doses through factory gates, with the FDA hoping to have 800,000 Jynneos shots available soon. Not that they'll necessarily all have to be used: between careful quarantining and continuing active education of vulnerable groups, the second global health emergency of recent years could yet be stopped in its tracks, unless the Congolese clade spreads anyway.
Monkeypox symptoms manifest as pimply rashes on the body.
'Clades' of monkeypox have long been endemic across nearly a dozen African countries.

Q: IE11 returns status 0 during Ajax POST operation from an iFrame (XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x2ee4) It seems that IE11 version 11.0.7 (KB2929437 on Win7, KB2919355 on Win 8.1) has a problem when performing an Ajax POST operation. The operation returns status 0 and on an F12 console, the following error appears:
SCRIPT7002: XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x2ee4, Could not complete the operation due to error 00002ee4.

The conditions to reproduce this issue are as follows:

*

*Happens only on specific IE11, i.e. version 11.0.7 (KB2929437 on
Win7, KB2919355 on Win 8.1)

*iframe is used to load external page with https protocol (parent page is using http protocol)

*ajax with method 'POST' is used

*More frequently happens with Connection: Keep-Alive header set on by IIS

*More frequently happens on Win32 version of IE11

I created the following jsfiddle to reproduce this issue: http://jsfiddle.net/VJ2D6/12/
$(document).ready(function () {
     $('#frame').attr('src', 'https://54.249.142.247/ie11/test.html');
});

Please note that the iframe retrieves its source from another site 54.249.142.247 (hosted by EC2 node using IIS7), because jsfiddle doesn't host https.
And, because I am using Self-Sign SSL Certificate, please first install the certificate to the Trusted Root, and turn off "Warn about certificate address mismatch" from Internet Options - Advanced Tab.
Inside 54.249.142.247/ie11/test.html, I created a button which initiates an Ajax POST operation to a non-existing location. Normally this request should return status 404 error (Not found). But in case of IE11 version 11.0.7, it often returns status 0 error and shows Network Error 0x2ee4 inside F12 console, "
I posted the same issue to Microsoft Connect here: https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/877525/ie11-returns-status-0-during-ajax-post-operation-from-an-iframe-xmlhttprequest-network-error-0x2ee4#tabs
I think this is an IE11 bug, but I am not 100% sure and there is no confirmation yet from the IE team. Please help me to confirm whether this is an IE bug, or if there is any problem in my JavaScript code.
UPDATE:
Microsoft said that they can reproduce the problem and will investigate it.

A: This error is be cause a ssl certificate is invalid. For solve this error see: [Link]
    $.get(window.api + 'Values', null, null).done(function () {//solution for IE shit
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: https://api.yourdomain.com,
        data: yourData,
        success: function (data) {
            //do something
        },
    });
});

A: I was having the same issue when trying to do a POST call to our HTTPS WCF service (CORS) and looks like it's because of the SSL Certificate.
I had to recreate mine with the following MakeCert Command line
makecert.exe -r -pe -n "CN=*.YourDomain.com" -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -ss my -sr localMachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -a sha256 -sy 12 "C:\EncryptionCert.cer"
installed the created Cert into Client and server trusted root cert Auth.
After choosing this cert for my Site binding, I was able to successfully call my HTTPS WCF service in IE 11.

A: I have the same issue too. at first i use make a get request before post. it solve the issue. but when i deep in, i find it's the in the internet option -》 Advanced options

*

*cancel check for server certificate revocation*

*cancel check for publisher certificate revocation*

*click ok

*restart your browser

i resolved the issue

Your interpretation of rights is off. I have a right not be imprisoned, a negative right, unless the government can manage due process. Natural rights are negative rights. I have a right not to get shot, you don't have the right to expect me to stand there and let you shoot me. Negative right require others to NOT do things like imprison me, shoot me, steal the product of my labor. Positive "rights" require others to actively do things like provide health care, housing, or candy.
Up until the 80s, health care was much more affordable. In the 70s, the whole process of having a baby cost $800, including a week-long hospital stay. The widespread adoption of employer-sponsored health insurance, largely fueled by tax regulation and the growth of Medicare, Medicaid, and welfare-based medical assistance has driven the demand entirely out of proportion to the supply, or even the need for care.
The current travesty of regulations will only make it worse, since it's now basically impossible to open or expand a private hospital.
Outrageous health care costs are a side-effect(or possibly the main goal) of government intrusion into the medical system.

More commonly, the Separability Thesis is interpreted as making only an object-level claim about the existence conditions for legal validity. The defining nature of pleasure is that it is an activity that accompanies other activities, and in some sense brings them to completion. Private Vices, Public Benefits: A female Christian philosopher of the period was a student of Abelard named Heloise.
For example, Dworkin believes a fully rational adult would consent to paternalistic restrictions to protect her from making decisions that are "far-reaching, potentially dangerous and irreversible" G.
Aristotle's analysis of the nature of pleasure is not meant to apply to every case in which something seems pleasant to someone, but only to activities that really are pleasures.
He still considered charity to be necessary at times because the helpless should be looked after, but he believed the model of charity schools would only ever promote laziness in society. The arithmetic mean between 10 and 2 is 6, and this is so invariably, whatever is being counted.
The rehabilitative justification argues that punishment is justified in virtue of the effect that it has on the moral character of the offender. Second, there is the idea that whenever a virtuous person chooses to perform a virtuous act, he can be described as aiming at an act that is in some way or other intermediate between alternatives that he rejects.
On this view, a person who accepts benefits from another person thereby incurs a duty of gratitude towards the benefactor. The Renaissance saw an outpouring of new ideas that questioned authority. Governmental support that self-employment can or cannot have. Accordingly, Fuller concludes that his eight principles are "internal" to law in the sense that they are built into the existence conditions for law: Aristotle indicates several times in VII.
Only the Nicomachean Ethics discusses the close relationship between ethical inquiry and politics; only the Nicomachean Ethics critically examines Solon's paradoxical dictum that no man should be counted happy until he is dead; and only the Nicomachean Ethics gives a series of arguments for the superiority of the philosophical life to the political life.
Which actions are right and which are wrong? Law is, to use Hart's famous phrase, "the union of primary and secondary rules" Hartp. The best way to understand him is to take him to be assuming that one will need the ethical virtues in order to live the life of a philosopher, even though exercising those virtues is not the philosopher's ultimate end.
His man was necessarily fallen man: The problem with the deterrence theory is that it justifies punishment of one person on the strength of the effects that it has on other persons.
Indeed, so tight is the relation between jurisprudence and adjudication, according to Dworkin, that jurisprudence is no more than the most general part of adjudication; thus, Dworkin concludes, "any judge's opinion is itself a piece of legal philosophy" Dworkinp.

Q: Specialized template for safe copy of char [] with boundary check Due to the fact I am working in the project with a library which uses C API I have to use partial char [] [even I would love to use only std::string].
How ever, in order to avoid problems when copying a too long char * variable to a fix-sized char [] I was trying to catch this problem with a template.
But unfortunately I am stuck with the specialization. In the project we can assume that the destination variable is always of type char [fixed-value] AND it must not be char *. This is therefore important because there is not really a reliable way to determinate for sure the size of the allocated size of a char *.
This is what I tried that far:
#include <stdio.h>

template <typename T>
void copyWithBoundaryCheck( char destination [], char * source, int maximalSize )
{
    printf( "Correct parameter\n" );
};

template <typename T>
void copyWithBoundaryCheck( T, char * source, int maximalSize )
{
    printf( "Wrong parameter\n" );
};

int main()
{
    char * source = (char *) "Source";
    char * wrongPtr = (char *) malloc( 20 );
    char destination [20];

    copyWithBoundaryCheck( wrongPtr, source, 10 );
    copyWithBoundaryCheck( destination, source, sizeof(destination) );
}

This is the output:
Wrong parameter <-- output for copyWithBoundaryCheck( wrongPtr, source, 10 );
Wrong parameter <-- output for copyWithBoundaryCheck( destination, source, sizeof(destination) );

For copyWithBoundaryCheck( destination, source, sizeof(destination) ); I was expecting the output Correct parameter but I receive always Wrong parameter.
My question:
How has to be implemented the specialization of the template function copyWithBoundaryCheck to catch char [numeric-value]? According to my example it would mean that copyWithBoundaryCheck( destination, source, sizeof(destination) ); would display Correct parameter.

A: You are probably looking for something like this:
template <size_t N>
void copyWithBoundaryCheck(char (&destination)[N])
{
    printf( "Correct parameter of size %zu\n", N );
};

We can provide mixing solutions from Hayward-Gordon, Sharpe and ProQuip Mixers for a variety of applications and markets.
Not familiar with these terms? Here is a quick reference. For further assistance, please contact Kerr using the form on the right, or give us a call.
Top Entry Mixers – material goes in from the top and is used to mix varying degrees of viscosity. It can also be mounted through various options.
Mag Drive Mixers – contains an outer and inner magnet where the outer one provides power to a gearbox and the inner magnet and provides power from outer magnet to the shaft. Also has a shroud that blocks contaminates from drive components.
Dynamic In-Line Mixers – powered by an electrical motor and contains one or more mixing elements that perform a rotary motion about the axis of the flow path.
Static Mixers – not powered and has no moving parts. It just alters the flow pattern of the product by placing baffles in its path.
Portable Mixers – allow you to use the mixer on different tanks and applications for varying flow patterns and dead spots.
Simfloc Sludge/Polymer Mixer – innovative engineered inline mixing system that provides a simple and cost effective approach to improve sludge handling operations by promoting greater contact between the sludge and polymer. It increases solid cake concentration, reduces hauling charges and improves centrate quality.
Liquid Blending – the process of mixing of bulk solids with a small quantity of liquid.
Solids Suspension – small solid particles that remain suspension in water as a colloid or from the motion of the water. Good for testing of water quality.
Dispersion – a system in which particles are dispersed in a continuous phase of a different composition. It is classified by numerous ways, including how large the particles are in relation to the particles of the continuous phase, whether or not precipitation occurs, and the presence of Brownian motion.
Dissolution – process by which a substance forms a solution in a solvent. The outcome of the process of dissolution is dictated by the thermodynamic energies involved.
Emulsification – mixture of two or more liquids that are normally unblendable. In an emulsion, one liquid is dispersed in the other liquid. Usually used to manufacture polymer dispersions. Many process advantages include prevention of coagulation of product.
Washing or Leaching – process of extracting a substance from a solid material that has come into contact with a liquid. The liquid is vital in leaching because it facilitates the ability to remove a substance from a solid material.
Gas Dispersion and Absorption – for mass transfer. The agitator can affect the kla which will ultimately influence the mass transfer rate in the process. Gas absorption or scrubbing is an operation in which a gas mixture is contacted with a liquid for the purpose of preferentially dissolving one or more components of the gas mixture and to provide a solution of them in the liquid.
Crystallization – chemical solid-liquid separation technique, in which mass transfer of a solute from the liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs.
Heat Transfer – heat is transferred by conduction from the wall of the vessel or surface of the internal heating elements to the contents of the vessel. Mixing helps aid in this by speeding up conduction from heat transfer surfaces, and helps promote heat transfer by forced convection. Heat transfer is similar to blending.
Hayward Gordon/Sharpe/ProQuip for top entry mixers, static mixtures, mag drive mixers and dynamic in-line mixers.

Democrats Win Bigly! 12 Huge Victories That Prove Americans Are Rejecting Trump
Democrat Ralph Northam is the new governor of Virginia
Election victories on Tuesday night showed us that Trump resistance really does translates into victories. Trump received an electoral drubbing just one year after his own election.
1. Democrat Ralph Northam was elected governor of Virginia. Democrat Justin Fairfax was elected lt. governor becoming the second African American to win a statewide election in Virginia. Trump endorsed Northam's opponent Ed Gillespie and recorded a robo-call message in support of him. Once the election results were in, however, Trump turned against him, and tweeted:
Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don't forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!
2. Danica Roem beat Bob Marshall for a position in the Virginia House of Delegates, making her the first openly transgender woman state lawmaker. Her opponent was considered one of the most conservative lawmakers in Virginia and has described himself as "Virginia's chief homophobe" and wrote the state's notorious transgender bathroom bill.
3. A young Democratic Socialist won a seat in the state legislature in Virginia. Lee Carter beat out Jackson Miller who was the House Majority Whip, and did so with few resources from the Virginia Democratic Party. Most of the organization for the local campaign was coordinated by the Democratic Socialists of America.
4. Democrat Vi Lyles trounced Republican Kenny Smith to become the first African-American female mayor of Charlotte, NC.
5. Democrats won full control of the New Jersey state government. Phil Murphy easily defeated current Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno which means Dems now have full control of the legislative and executive branches in the Garden State.
6. Ravi Bhalla is now the first Sikh mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey. Just two days prior to the election, someone posted racist flyers around town calling Bhalla a terrorist.
7. Voters in Maine passed a Medicaid expansion. This will provide health insurance to as many as 89,000 more low-income people, making Maine the first state to do so through a referendum.
8. Minneapolis elected the first black transgender woman to the City Council. Andrea Jenkins is the first openly transgender woman of color elected to any public office in the U.S.
9. Sheila Oliver is the first woman of color elected lieutenant governor of New Jersey.
10. Larry Krasner, a civil rights lawyer who prosecuted a police officer for killing a black teen, just became District Attorney in Philadelphia.
11. Washington State elected Mank Dhingra to a seat in the state legislature, giving Democrats full control of the government in Washington.
12. Democrats made significant gains in turning the Virginia House of Delegates blue, winning at least 14 seats with some districts still too close to call. 17 is needed to turn the legislature blue. Virginia's state election is considered a bellwether for the 2018 election.

Retired Virginian Says He Still Can't Understand How People Could Vote for Trump


Surrogacy is a vague and misunderstood subject. It's a very difficult concept for some people to grasp. There are legal matters to consider, and surrogate mothers are often looked down upon.
1. The surrogate will want to keep the child.
This misconception is blown wildly out of proportion by the media. In fact, there are very few surrogate mothers who end up keeping the children they bear.
There is a lengthy process that surrogate mothers must go through in order to become surrogate mothers. These women undergo psychological tests to ensure they are mentally and emotionally capable of carrying and delivering a child who will go to another set of parents.
It's understandable that they would become emotionally involved in the process. After all, it's their body, and lots of hormones are involved.
Even if the parents are concerned about the surrogate mother changing her mind, they have surrogacy lawyers on their side. The lawyer will make sure the legal documentation terminates any biological rights the surrogate mother may have.
2. Surrogate mothers are only after money.
Surrogate mothers are compensated for carrying the children. That's only fair. After all, they go through the mental and emotional stress of carrying a child. They will endure morning sickness and go through the strenuous process of labor.
The media, and therefore our society, believes surrogate mothers are only in it for the money. This may be true in some cases. There are a lot of financial resources out there for surrogate mothers to learn how to invest their compensation.
However, there are women out there who become surrogate mothers because they know the joy of carrying and delivering children. They understand the heartache of a couple that desperately wants children, but is physically incapable to do so.
These women want to help support the women who can't have children of their own.
3. The surrogate won't care about the child.
Some people believe the opposite of the first misconception. They believe the surrogate mother won't care enough about the child she is carrying.
However, the emotional attachment and connection the surrogate mother has for the child she is carrying will cause her to care for the unborn child as if it is her own. Again, these mothers go through a tremendous screening process in order to ensure they are mentally, physically and emotionally capable of caring for a child during pregnancy, delivering that child and then giving him or her to his or her intended parents.
4. The child is biologically related to the surrogate mother.
This is a difficult subject to tackle. There are different ways to impregnate a surrogate mother.
Traditionally, the surrogate mother was related to the child. Now, there are technologies that make gestational surrogacy possible. Gestational surrogacy means the eggs from the intended mother and the sperm from the intended father make an embryo.
That embryo is then implanted in the surrogate mother. This make the surrogate mother simply the carrier of another woman's baby. So, just because the surrogate mother is carrying a child, that doesn't mean she's actually biologically related to that child.
5. Women who choose surrogacy only care about their figures.
Often times, the couple or individual chooses surrogacy as the last shot at having a family with one or both partner's genetic material. Insinuating that women only choose to pay a surrogate in order to avoid stretch marks and pregnancy weight is insulting to both the parties going through this serious and time-consuming process.
It's important to reveal the truth behind surrogacy. Surrogacy is to be talked about and celebrated. It gives hope to families who are unable to have children, and it empowers women who want to help other couples.

Aftermaths II: The Invasion of Iraq in the Present
Time: Fri Mar 31, 2023, 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Location: Eck Visitors Center Auditorium (View on map )
Twenty years ago the United States invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq, a country of 44 million people that was, at the time, one of the most secular nations in the Middle East. By the time U.S. forces left in 2011, more than 100,000 people had been killed, thousands more had fled, and fundamentalist militias ruled the streets. For the Iraqis who lived through it, nothing would ever be the same.
How does such a calamity reverberate through time? How does war live within us, even when we are at peace?
Iraqi authors join writers and members of the Notre Dame community to discuss the aftermaths of war and peace, and explore how the invasion of Iraq subsists in the present.
This is the second of two events examining the history and legacy of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Join us for Aftermaths I on Thursday, March 30 »

How Robert De Niro Created The Most Googled Hotel Brand In The World
Bridget Arsenault
The reception at Nobu Shoreditch
Courtesy of Nobu Hotels
As CEO of Nobu Hotels, Trevor Horwell often shares the stage with Robert De Niro, one of the hotel and restaurant group's main partners. Previously in a director role at the COMO Group and prior to that Horwell was at the Hyatt brand, its clear his passion is hospitality. Now with a portfolio of eight hotels, which is set to swell to 16 by 2020, your correspondent caught up with Horwell to learn more about this dynamic group and the ever-changing hotel industry in general.
1. The hotel industry is quite a saturated one - tell me what Nobu Hotels bring to the market that was not already available?
As a brand we entered the hospitality business with an upside-down business model. We are first led by food and beverage. Most hotel operators focus on selling rooms as the greatest engine of profit in a hotel and food and beverage is a headache and a loss maker. From the conception of our first restaurant, the brand was about creating memorable experiences around food. We know that many hotels in the world have incredible rooms, lobbies etc. but they don't all have exceptional destination dining as part of their offering. Nobu Hotels means service and great design, but incredible dining is at the foundation. We also bring in locals to our restaurants in the hotel, which is very rare in a typical hotel restaurant.
We are a management company, and we're a brand, so it's important to us that we work with partners who will complement and adapt to the Nobu ethos and echo what we stand for in a positive way. Additionally, as part of our business model – we are committed to making sure each and every hotel has its own identity, sense of locality and feels like the place its in – we are uniform in things like our adherence to a Japanese sense of design detail and minimalism, and all our hotels take on luxury in a different way. Just like the Nobu restaurants, which are a casual experience, but we always strive to offer incredible service – each property to have its own distinctive identity.
2. What distinguishes a Nobu hotel?
Nobu Matsuhisa created something entirely unique, and then it evolved. He didn't want to grow the company at first, but Robert De Niro convinced him to – and it was a huge success. What I do know is Nobu was once the most googled restaurant brand and now the same is happening with our hotels through Instagram and other channels. What makes us stand out is the experiences we deliver in our hotels and restaurants, our customers are sharing that online. Today you need to be a brand that is leveraged across all marketing channels and coming from our customer is the marketing available.
3. What - for you - makes for a memorable stay in a hotel?
When booking a hotel, I try and look for the same qualities that reflect our brand. I want to stay in a hotel where I enjoy the staff, the food and beverage, the products – all of that – and I will pay a premium for it.

4. Where and how do you plan to expand Nobu hotels?
We're on track to operate 20 hotels globally by 2020, continuing our solid world-wide growth. We currently have eight hotels and eight more joining the portfolio, taking us up to 16 hotels across four continents.
In terms of critical mass, we have grown our hotels first in North America, and now we are focusing on Europe in a big way, after successfully launching our first three hotels this year. We want to be in Paris, Rome, Prague and new up and coming destinations like Warsaw. Asia has been more opportunistic, but eventually we will follow our restaurants' growth there in the key gateway cities.
5. All the Nobu hotels have quite a different look, feel and aesthetic - tell me about deciding to design them that way?
Each of our hotels mirror the personality of that given location; from David Rockwell's beach-house inspired rooms in Miami, to the street-art feel of London's Shoreditch Hotel – every property reflects the local vibe and personality. And for example, in our upcoming Los Cabos hotel, which is due to open at the end of this year, the interiors are designed by Severine Tatangelo, who did our Malibu hotel. The Los Cabos interiors draw from Mexico's native textiles and are complemented by the clean refinement of Japanese design. Custom furniture pieces, teak and stone materials, shoji- inspired closet doors and Japanese lanterns all reflect Japanese-Mexican fusion at its best.

6. Is there a piece of advice you've been given or something you've learned along your journey as an entrepreneur that has distinctly changed the way you do business?
To constantly keep ahead of what the customer wants – that's why we are very focused on that now. Thoughtfulness and creativity are also very, very important.

7. What for you is the standout quality in a Nobu Hotel?
Kokoro - with our roots in Japan, we wholeheartedly embrace the concept of Japanese Kokoro; the connection between emotions, feelings, spirit and soul. This is the heartbeat of Nobu Restaurants, Hotels and Residences. Our aim is to deliver authentically inspired moments that promote Kokoro in all of us. We are focused on being more than a place to stay – we want to deliver an experience.

LALKOVIC IS BACK!
Andrew Poole
Familiar face returns to Banks's Stadium...
THE SADDLERS have completed the signing of former loanee, Milan Lalkovic, on a one-year deal after he was allowed to leave Barnsley.
The 22 year-old had a successful loan spell here at Banks's Stadium during the 2013/14 campaign where his all-action and skilful displays marked him out as a popular figure both on and off-the-field.
He came through the youth ranks at Chelsea, joining the club as an under-14 player before going out on loan to the likes of Doncaster Rovers, Dutch club, ADO Den Haag, top-flight Portuguese outfit, Vitoria Guimaraes and here at Walsall FC in a bid to gain competitive experience.
Upon leaving Stamford Bridge, he joined Czech club, FK Mladá Boleslav and then moved on to Barnsley at the turn of 2015.
"I'm really pleased to have Milan back on board," said manager, Dean Smith. "He did well for us before; there is a lot of potential in him and now that he is our player, we can be committed to the 'Milan Lalkovic project' and getting the best out of him.
"He's full of enthusiasm and energy and is a real talent. By the same token, he knows exactly what we are all about and the way we work here.
"He will have learned a lot from his successful loan spell with us and will also have learned from the disappointments he faced last season.
"Hopefully he can hit the ground running and I certainly believe that he will improve our team."


These beautiful Australian hardwood timber windows and doors have been oiled inside and out in Two coats of Livos exterior decking oil. The best exterior oil I have used. This product will last agains the elements.
We have done a lot of exterior timber work in the past 6 months and the most common question my clients ask is how long is it going to last?
All can play a part in the longevity of the varnish / oil or any exterior paint work.
Keeping your exterior paint work clean and free of dirt and grime is a great way to prolong the life span of the finish.
2-3 times a year wash your house down.
Looking after your largest and most expensive asset will save you money in the long run.
Oils and varnishes just don't have the protection against UV. If washed & maintained they can always look amazing and new.
Always make sure that if they are looking a little dull then they need another coat. The longer you leave it past this point the more preparation, time and money you will have to spend.


We will be supplying Pick 'n Pay with our certified organic garlic in 100g bags, of about 3 bulbs per pack, in the next couple of weeks. Keep an eye out for these and let us know what you think.
Besides adding flavour to food and keeping vampires at bay, garlic is also a natural antibiotic, its renowned medicinal properties dating back to the ancient Greeks and, of course, the Egyptians.
Benefits of garlic include: improved blood circulation; strengthened immune systems; anti-septic, anti-fungal, infection and bacteria fighting properties and it contains potassium, calcium and selenium. Of course it's most effectively eaten raw, but that's not everyone's cup of tea. You might try a basil and garlic pesto to realise a delicious use of raw garlic, and remember to share the garlic – it's all or nothing for couples.
