Франс Галс, або Франс Галс Старший, (; між 1582–1583 роками, Антверпен — 26 — , Гарлем) — один із найвідоміших живописців так званої «золотої доби» голландського мистецтва. Майже все своє життя провів у Гарлемі, де розвинув свій характерний стиль портретування, що полягає у відході від традиційної урочистості й зображенні швидкоплинних змін виразу та текстурних ефектів. Однак, йому не вдалося стати поруч з Рембрандтом у мистецтві досягнення високого ступеня психологічного проникнення, характерного для портретів останнього. Галс вважався одним з основоположників національної школи «золотої доби». Особливо прославився великими груповими портретами членів стрілецьких рот та опікунів притулку для старих, а також однофігурними жанровими картинами на ранньому етапі творчості.

Довгий час Галс займав друге місце серед найвідоміших голландських художників «золотої доби», поступаючись першості Рембрандту. Однак, у другій половині дев'ятнадцятого століття його потіснив Ян Вермер, якого знову для широкого загалу відкрив французький дослідник живопису Теофіл Торе-Бюргер. У 1868 році останній опублікував два нариси про Галса та його роботи у впливовому виданні «Gazette des Beaux-Arts». Після цього почався процес відродження уваги до забутого художника спочатку у Франції, а згодом у Нідерландах, Німеччині, інших країнах Європи та у США.

Згідно з останніми дослідженнями до його авторства офіційно віднесені 184 картини. Результати стали відомими завдяки роботі інституту історії мистецтва Нідерландів (RKD).

Життєпис

Походження та ранні роки
Франс Галс народився в родині Франсуа Галса (, 1542—1610) та Адріани ван Ґестенрік (, 1552—1616). Для обох це був другий шлюб. Франсуа Галс був сукнарем родом з Мехелена. З невідомих обставин його перша дружина померла й він, разом із чотирма дітьми, у 1580 році переїхав до будинку своєї тітки, що мешкала в Антверпені. Там він познайомився з вдовою ван Ґестенрік, що була заможною та бездітною. Невдовзі пара взяла шлюб й Галс із дітьми переїхав до будинку, що залишився їй у спадок від попереднього чоловіка. Через певний час після шлюбу, у період між 1582—1583 роками, у родині з'явилася п'ята дитина — Франс Галс.

За іншою версією Франс Галс народився в достатньо заможній родині, а батько обіймав високу посаду в магістраті Гарлему. Після одного з повстань він був ненадовго відправлений у заслання до Південних Нідерландів, тому дитина з'явилася на світ в Антверпені, але вже на початку 1590-х років родина повернулася до Гарлему.

Невдовзі після падіння Антверпена, що  іспанськими військами, сім'я переїхала до Гарлему, де через шість років народилася друга спільна дитина —  (1591—1656). Власне сам Галс не залишив жодних письмових свідчень про своє життя чи свої твори й відомий лише короткий опис його біографії. Наразі відсутня будь-яка вірогідна інформація щодо його художньої підготовки. Перші офіційні записи датуються 1610 роком, коли він вступив до гільдії Святого Луки в Гарлемі. Отже, невідомо чим він займався після досягнення повноліття. Існує припущення, що Галс був учнем у Карела ван Мандера й провів деякий час у його майстерні. Однак, сам ван Мандер не згадує його як учня в книзі , обмежуючись лише нотаткою: «Франс Галс, гарлемський портретист». Таким чином, ймовірно, він міг бути або його учнем або просто відвідувати майстерню до того, як у 1603 році ван Мандер покинув місто Гарлем.

За одним із припущень Галс із 1600 року навчався не тільки у Карела ван Мандера, а й Пітера Пауля Рубенса. Однак його стиль написання картин не має нічого спільного з творчістю першого, але дещо перекликається з манерою виконання другого. Існує думка, що рання творчість Галса має дещо спільне із роботами Якоба Йорданса, який був видатним художником у стилі бароко та вихованцем Пітера Пауля Рубенса. Наразі відсутні будь-які відомості про творчість Галса упродовж десяти років. Однак, достеменно відомо про те, що вже в 1610 році він приєднався до гільдії Святого Луки. У цей час йому могло бути приблизно 27 або 28 років, але це було надзвичайно пізно для того, щоб вперше стати її членом. Разом з тим, поряд із живописом, він також почав працювати реставратором у міській раді Гарлема.

Існують відомості від гамбурзького живописця , який називав себе «особисто знайомим із Галсом». Він говорив, що Галс «чудовий портретист із Гарлема, учень ван Мандера. У молодому віці вів дещо розгульний спосіб життя, а коли постарів — вже не міг заробляти живописом, що став вже не таким як раніше. За колишні заслуги отримав від одного з магістратів Гарлему грошове забезпечення, якого вистачило на декілька років. Помер 1665 чи 1666 року та був на той час дев'яносторічним чоловіком або дещо молодшим».

З 1612 по 1624 рік Франс Галс служив мушкетером у стрілецькій роті Святого Георга в Гарлемі. У 1616 році йому було доручено написати портрет офіцерів, що закінчили трирічну службу. Цей груповий портрет став першою відомою нам роботою художника. Того ж року він здійснив нетривалу поїздку до Антверпена, де вивчав роботи своїх сучасників, таких як Рубенс та ван Дейк. Відомо, що Галс разом зі своїм братом Дірком також був членом гарлемського риторичного товариства «Виноградна лоза» () з 1616 по 1624 рік.

Одруження та сім'я
У 1610 чи на початку 1611 року Франс Галс одружився з Аннеке Гарменсдохтер Абелс (, 1590—1615), батько якої займався відбілюванням тканин та інших матеріалів. Оскільки вона була протестанткою, тоді як він був католиком, пара одружилася у мерії замість того, щоб провести церковну церемонію. Цей шлюб повинен був відкрити перед Галсом шлях до заможних і впливових кіл, бо хрещеним батьком й опікуном Аннеке був пивовар та член міської ради — Йоб Клаесзон Ґейбланд (, 1572—1638). Однак із невідомих причин останній мало цікавився життям Аннеке та її родини взагалі. Наприклад, коли Ґейбланд забажав портрет зі своїм зображенням він не запросив до роботи Франса Галса, а довірив написання іншому художникові — . Про повну відсутність підтримки родини Галсів з боку Ґейбланда говорить той факт, що коли в травні 1615 року Аннеке померла, він відмовився від організації належної церемонії й похресниця була похована в могилі невідомого бідняка. У цьому короткому шлюбі було троє дітей, з яких серед живих залишився лише .

Маючи на руках одну неповнолітню дитину, Галс 12 лютого 1617 року вдруге одружується. На цей раз його обраницею стала дочка скляра — Лісбет Рейнірс (, 1593—1675). Ще через дев'ять днів відбулася церемонія хрещення їхньої спільної доньки Сари, що народилася ще до одруження батьків. Саме діти від другого шлюбу започаткували творчу династію: всі п'ятеро хлопців стали визнаними художниками, а одна з двох доньок вийшла заміж за учня Галса — . Американський дослідник історії мистецтв та творчості Галса  вважав, що за період з 1617 по 1634 рік Лісбет народила Галсу не менше одинадцяти дітей, вісім з яких пережили дитинство.

Розрізнені відомості залишилися лише про таких дітей Франса Галса:

від першого шлюбу

 двоє дітей, дата народження та смерті яких наразі невідома, померли ще немовлятами;
 Гармен Галс (, бл. 1611 — 1669) — музикант, художник, член гільдії Святого Луки в Гарлемі.

від другого шлюбу

 Сара Галс (, бл. 1617 — ?) — мала позашлюбну доньку від Абрагама ван Поттерлоо () за що була відправлена на перевиховання від розпусти до . Через деякий час вийшла заміж за моряка з Фрісландії;
  Молодший (, бл. 1618 — 1669) — художник;
  (, бл. 1620 — 1654) — художник, член гільдії Святого Луки в Гарлемі;
 Адріантьє Галс (, бл. 1623 — ?) — була охрещена 21 липня 1623 року, де серед присутніх був Ісаак Масса. У 1654 році вийшла заміж за художника Пітера ван Рустратена;
 Якоб Галс (, бл. 1624 — ?) — можливо був художником, але згідно з останніми дослідженнями віднесені до його авторства картини ймовірно належать Йоганнесу Галсу;
  (, бл. 1627 — 1672) — торговий писар (), артдилер, художник;
  (, бл. 1628 — 1686) — художник, член гільдії Святого Луки в Гарлемі. Його хрещеним батьком був один із найвідоміших представників художників-мариністів «золотої доби» голландського мистецтва — ;
 Марія Галс (, бл. 1631 — ?) — була охрещена 12 листопада 1631 року. Будь-які інші відомості наразі відстуні.
Досить довгий час вважалося, що Франс Галс був схильний до пияцтва та навіть застосовував насилля до оточення. Завдяки розрізненним відомостям істориків склалася думка, що перша дружина Галса Аннеке була жертвою домашнього насильства. Ця інформація базувалася на міських судових записах про те, що «Франс Галс, мешканець Гарлему, у 1616 році був звинувачений у застосуванні насильства щодо дружини». Однак, як зазначав американський дослідник історії мистецтв , мова йшла про іншого Франса Галса. Фактом є те, що на час висунення цих звинувачень у художника не було жодної жінки, щоб жорстоко поводитись з нею, оскільки Аннеке померла раніше зазначеного 1616 року. Інші історичні розповіді про схильність Галса до алкоголізму в основному базувалися на анекдотичних розповідях його ранніх біографів, таких як Арнольд Гаубракен, проте без наведення жодних прямих доказів. Плітки про аморальний спосіб життя Франса Галса поширювали не тільки місцеві історики та письменники, але навіть іноземці, що супроводжували свої розповіді карикатурними ілюстраціями. Припущення, що людина, яка зловживала алкоголем та застосовувала насилля відносно рідних могла очолювати гільдію Святого Луки в Гарлемі — є маловірогідним.

Зрілі роки та кінець життя

Після вступу до гільдії Святого Луки та стрілецької роти Святого Георга життя Франса Галса значно поліпшилося. Його кар'єра художника пішла на підйом і він отримував престижні замовлення. Окрім нього іншими портретистами, які мали визнання в Гарлемі та могли скласти конкуренцію Галсу були лише  та . Однак, перевага надавалася саме Галсу, оскільки навіть принц Моріц Оранський визнав його майстерність та доручив виконувати замовлення міської ради Гарлема. Одним із найвідоміших тогочасних покровителів Франса була заможна та впливова сім'я пивоварів Олікан. Щонайменше чотирнадцять членів цієї родини, включаючи голову сімейства та мера Гарлема , були увіковічнені на портретах. Реалістичність картин Галса була досить високо оцінена свого часу. Так у записах міської хроніки 1628 року  зазначав: «Як лихо Франс малює людей із життя!». У 1648 році  відгукувався про портрети Галса, як про «забарвлені так, що здається, вони живуть і дихають». Коло клієнтів художника було досить широким і в нього входили не тільки підприємці та чиновники, а й священнослужителі та вчені. Найбільш відомим з них був Рене Декарт, портрет якого був створений приблизно в 1649 році. З часом Галс стикався з усе більшою конкуренцією. З тривалого перебування закордоном повернувся , з'явилося молоде покоління портретистів представлене  та Яном де Браєм. Однак, їх коло замовників обмежувалося католицькою громадою, а Галс, що був близьким до протестантської спільноти, але залишався католиком, мав успіх серед усіх верств населення. Окрім доволі успішної кар'єри живописця, Галс був досить впливовим та популярним викладачем мистецтв. За словами Арнольда Гаубракена, Адріан Брауер та Адріан ван Остаде були учнями вихованцями Франса Галса. Наразі відсутні документальні підтвердження, але існує припущення, що Ян Мінзе Моленар та Юдит Лейстер також навчалися у нього мистецтву живопису. Фламандський поет, юрист та політик  зазначав, що Галс був вчителем Філіпса Воувермана та . Окрім замовлень на приватних осіб Галс отримував доручення від різних організацій та установ. За винятком портретів для стрілецької роти святого Георга, він писав групові портрети для оздоблення зали стрілецької роти святого Адріана в період між 1616 та 1639 роками. З часом його картин здобули популярність і за межами Гарлема, а в 1633 році амстердамський зал арбалетників доручив Галсу зобразити компанію відомого на той час капітана та лейтенанта. Тепер ця робота більш відома як «». Однак, зазначена картина лише частково належить Галсу. Після тривалого конфлікту зі своїм покровителем він припинив роботу й закінчив її вже Пітер Кодде.

Франс Галс досить безтурботно ставився до свого фінансового становища. Свідченням цьому слугують судові відомості згідно з якими він досить часто викликався для розгляду справ щодо простроченої заборгованості. Зазвичай у цих справах фігурували невеликі суми, але все змінилося починаючи з 1654 року. У той час Галс був фігурантом справи про заборгованість у 200 гульденів перед пекарем. Щоб розрахуватися з ним Франс був змушений віддати деякі особисті речі, а також п'ять картин серед яких «Збір мани» (Мартен ван Гемскерк) та «Проповідь святого Іоанна Хрестителя» (Карел ван Мандер). Фінансовий стан Галса настільки почав погіршуватися, що його звільнили від сплати щорічного внеску до гільдії Святого Луки в 1661 році. Скрутне становище його родини призвело до того, що в 1662 році бургомістр Гарлема застосував до них податкове полегшення в 50 гульденів, а також щорічну допомогу в 150 гульденів. Однак, навіть цього було не досить й вже в 1663 році фінансова допомога була збільшена до 200 гульденів. За іншими відомостями Галс опинився в глибокій фінансовій скруті вже в 1652 році. Саме тоді він був визнаний банкрутом, а майно, що складалося з трьох матраців, подушок, столу та п'яти картин було описане та заарештоване. Йому було залишене лише малярне приладдя, необхідне для продовження праці. Разом з тим він продовжував отримувати приватні замовлення та від представників міської влади, однак, ймовірно, прибуток від цього йшов на покриття боргових зобов'язань.

Завдяки все ж тому Арнольду Гаубракену з XVIII століття почала вкорінятися у свідомості суспільства думка, що пияцтво та аморальний спосіб життя Галса стали причиною його фінансової скрути. Такі висновки Гаубракен зробив базуючись на картинах Галса, на яких були зображені сцени пияцтва та безтурботного повсякденного життя. Однак, більшість з них була створена в період між 1620 та 1630 роками, коли фінансове становище Галса не було під загрозою банкрутства. На відміну від Південних Нідерландів, де панувала сувора католицька мораль в протестантській частині півночі країни був інший суспільний лад. Серед населення був поширенним вислів, що «писки собак, прихильність повій та гостинність корчмарів — жодне з них не обходиться без витрат». Тема легковажності суспільства та знайшла відбиття в картинах Франса Галса, які, як відомо, мали популярністю серед усіх верств населення.

Однією з останніх робіт Галса став груповий портрет «Опікунки будинку пристарілих», що був створений у 1664 році. Здоров'я художника значно погіршилося й 26 серпня 1666 року він помер та був похований під хором у церкві святого Бавона в Гарлемі. Збереглася письмова згадка про поховання Галса, згідно з якою «1 вересня була відкрита могила № 56 для пана Франса Галса». Художника було поховано в могилу Ніколаса Йоппена Гібланта (), що був дідом першої дружини Галса — Аннеке. Ця могила перейшла у володіння Франса у спадок. Його ім'я та дата поховання не були нанесені на надгробку ні під час поховання, ні після. Лише в 1918 році з ініціативи Гарлемської історичної асоціації на могильному камені було зроблено відповідний напис. У 1962 році на могилу Франса Галса було покладено новий камінь, а попередній був перенесений неподалік. Дружина Лісбет пережила свого чоловіка та провела останні роки в будинку для похилих людей.

Техніка та стиль

Стиль Франса Галса змінювався протягом усього життя. Картини яскравих кольорів поступово замінювались творами, де домінував один колір. Після 1641 року в його роботах просліджується тенденція обмежувати гаму своєї палітри та нав'язувати колір, а не виражати й підкреслювати його. Пізніше в картинах Галса почали переважали темні тони з переходом до чорного. Мазки пензлем стали вільнішими, а дрібні деталі стали менш важливими, аніж загальне враження. Там, де його попередні твори випромінювали веселість та жвавість, портрети періоду пізньої творчості підкреслювали фігури та гідність зображених людей. Ця тенденція досить добре знайшла відбиття на груповому портреті «Опікунки будинку пристарілих». При всій своїй монохромності картина може вважатися шедевром кольору, хоча обмежена палітра особливо помітна в тілесних відтінках. Дослідники вважають, що ця тенденція збігається з періодом бідності Галса й причиною його схильності до чорно-білого пігменту була низька ціна цих кольорів. Художник зобразив силуети п'яти похилих жінок в чорних сукнях на темному фоні. Старість немов би підкреслена, Галс не застосував жодного прийому, щоб згладити впалі очі та немов би пергаментний колір шкіри. Французький письменник і мистецтвознавець Андре Мальро свого часу дав наступну характеристику стилю виконання цієї картини: «руки опікунок являються першим в історії живопису агресивно сучасним акцентом».

Його творчість, яка охоплює безліч групових та індивідуальних портретів, а також декілька жанрових сцен — демонструє характерний стиль, який не наслідували ні його учні, ні наступні покоління. Галсу вдалося оживити свої портрети, використовуючи надзвичайно вільне застосування намальованих деталей, що вказує на спонтанність реального життя. Такий підхід ранні дослідники та біографи назвали — «дотиком майстра». Навіть відомий «колорист» Вінсент Ван Гог зазначав, що «у Галса, мабуть, було 27 відтінків чорного кольору, з поміж яких можна було вибрати найбільш доречний». Невідомо, чи писав Галс коли-небудь пейзажі чи натюрморти, оскільки багато його картин вважаються втраченими. Достеменно відомо, що в Нідерландах XVII-го століття дуже багато художників спеціалізувалися на зазначених вище жанрах, тому Франс Галс міг вирішити стати фахівцем з написання портретів.

Близько 1620-х років Галс остаточно розвинув та сформував техніку, яка за своєю розкутістю була близька до імпресіонізму. Як і його сучасник Дієго Веласкес, він використовував колір для структурування форм, і саме це використання кольорів відрізняє обох художників від усіх наступних. Проте унікальним для Галса є його техніка нанесення швидких, вільних мазків яскравого кольору, які натякають на форму, а не укладають її, та підкреслюють таким чином рух і життєву силу зображення. Більшість живописців XVII-го століття підходили до своїх картин вдумливо та повільно, з підготовчими малюнками, певною кількістю підмальовки та прискіпливою обробкою. Наразі відсутні певні докази, але дослідниками вважається, що Галс розпочинав роботу безпосередньо малюючи на полотні за один сеанс без попередніх ретельних ескізів (техніка алла прима).

Галс був живописцем бароко, який практикував інтимний реалізм із кардинально вільним підходом. Його портрети ілюструють різні верстви суспільства: бенкети або зустрічі офіцерів, членів гільдій, адміралів, генералів, бургомістрів, купців, юристів та клерків, мандрівних гравців та співаків, кавалерів, рибалок та відвідувачів таверн. На групових портретах художник фіксує кожного персонажа по-різному. Обличчя не ідеалізовані й не забирають всю увагу на себе, таким чином особистість зображених людей передається за допомогою різноманітних поз. Франс Галс любив денне світло і сріблястий блиск, тоді як Рембрандт використовував ефекти золотого сяяння, заснованого на контрасті слабкого освітлення в непроглядному мороці. Він писав картини на білому та світло-сірому ґрунтах, а також не користувався ліссеруванням, надаючи перевагу білилам та чорній фарбі. Його рання творчість представлена великою кількістю портретів відвідувачів таверн. Саме це стало однією з причин безпідставного звинувачення в аморальному способі життя та пияцтву художника. Насправді тематика цих портретів була навіяна впливом від робіт Якоба Йорданса, який був видатним художником бароко з Антверпена та вихованцем Пітера Пауля Рубенса. Галс також зображав на свої картинах дух веселощів та безтурботності.

Франс Галс в Україні
«Портрет Рене Декарта» роботи Франса Галса свого часу купив у німецького колекціонера Вебера — Богдан Іванович Ханенко. Робота виконана олією на полотні, її розмір 29 на 24 сантиметрів з надписом на зворотному боці — «Вебер. Франс Галс "Іспанець"». Портрет був частиною колекцій музею та демонструвався відвідувачам, але з часом було встановлено, що ця робота є підробкою. Довгий час вважалося, що оригінал був у Луврі, але останні дослідження говорять про те, що і в Луврі лише копія роботи відомого голландського художника. Місце перебування оригіналу «Портрет Рене Декарта» роботи Галса невідоме й картина вважається загубленою.
У 1773 році для наповнення фондів музею Ермітаж були куплені дві картини голландського художника. За часів Олександра I ці два портрети, на яких були зображені євангелісти, були передані до Таврійської губернії. Таким чином картини «Євангеліст Лука» та «Євангеліст Матвій» потрапили до музею західного і східного мистецтва в Одесі. Свого часу авторство цих творів приписували навіть невідомим майстрам російської школи живопису XIX ст. Лише в 1958 році, завдяки ґрунтовним дослідженням мистецтвознавця, співробітника Ермітажу та фахівця з голландського мистецтва Линник Ірини Володимирівни, стало відоме ім'я автора та походження картин. Ще два зображення євангелістів цієї серії розміщенні у московському (Святий Марко), а також у каліфорнійському музеях (Святий Іоанн). Свого часу картина «Євангеліст Лука» була вкрадена з музею, а згодом про розшук та її повернення було знято фільм «Повернення святого Луки». У наш час обидві картини «Євангеліст Лука» та «Євангеліст Матвій» демонструються в музеї Одеси. Визначним фактом є те, що цикл із чотирьох картин є не лише зразком майстерного виконання, а і єдиними роботами на релігійну тему у творчості Галса. При цьому дві картини з циклу перебувають саме в Україні.

Оцінка творчості
У 1813 році англійський живописець Джеймс Норткоут наголошував: «Що стосується репрезентації персонажів, він [Галс], безумовно, був найбільшим художником, який коли-небудь жив».

Вінсент Ван Гог писав: «Яка радість бачити такого Франса Галса — наскільки він сильно відрізняється від картин інших, а у нього все ретельно згладжено однаково».

, французький дослідник історії мистецтв, вважав, що Франс Галс: «чудовий майстер у плані портретів, побутових сцен та пейзажів».

Григорій Григорович Павлуцький говорив: «на відміну від Рубенса, який створив живий та міцний колорит за допомогою семи фарб, Галс не вирізнявся строкатістю фарб й все зводив лише до загального враження».

Французький письменник та художник Ежен Фромантен писав: «Я вже казав, що художник, який прагне хороших і ґрунтовних уроків, повинен уявити собі задоволення бачити все це саме в Гарлемі. У всіх інших місцях, будь то французькі музеї та кабінети Лувру або голландські галереї та колекції, враження, яке справляє на нас цей блискучий і дуже нерівний за своєю манерою майстер, може бути чарівним, приємним, цікавим, але досить поверховим, а тому помилковим і несправедливим. Там Галс як людина, втрачає стільки, скільки програє як художник. Він дивує, він бавить. Своєю безприкладною швидкістю в роботі, невичерпною життєрадісністю та ексцентричністю своїх прийомів, глузливістю розуму та кисті він виділяється на тлі сучасного йому живопису…Але у своїй справі він, безперечно, один із наймайстерніших і найдосвідченіших майстрів, які коли-небудь і де-небудь існували навіть у Фландрії з її Рубенсом і ван Дейком, навіть в Іспанії з її Веласкесом».

Q: Metabase Table Relationships Floor() Function I have the following three tables. "Incidents", "Reflective Debrief" and "Users".
Incident_UID = Users_UID
Through Metabase Admin panel (Data Model -> Table ("Incidents")) I have set a foreign key relationship for the above. I have applied this to the "Reflective Debrief" table as well.
However, when creating new questions, and adding a join through the Editor, the user columns do not return any data.
On reviewing the raw SQL, it appears the issue relates to the floor() function that's being created? If I manually edit the SQL and remove this floor() function, the relationship works as normal.
LEFT JOIN `incidents` `Incidents - Reflective Incident` ON `reflective_debrief`.`reflective_incident_id` = `Incidents - Reflective Incident`.`incident_id`
LEFT JOIN `users` `Users - Incident UID` ON ((floor(((`Incidents - Reflective Incident`.`incident_uid` - 0.0) / 12.5)) * 12.5) + 0.0) = `Users - Incident UID`.`uid`
LIMIT 1048575

If I make it this, it works...
LEFT JOIN `incidents` `Incidents - Reflective Incident` ON `reflective_debrief`.`reflective_incident_id` = `Incidents - Reflective Incident`.`incident_id`
LEFT JOIN `users` `Users - Incident UID` ON `Incidents - Reflective Incident`.`incident_uid` = `Users - Incident UID`.`uid`
LIMIT 1048575

I don't understand why Metabase wants to add the floor() function to the query?

Mining wage growth eases
By Peter Martin
WAGE growth has slowed to a crawl, confounding doomsayers who have warned of a wages breakout emanating from mining and giving the Reserve Bank more room to cut interest rates.
The September quarter wage cost index from the Bureau of Statistics shows wages grew lowest in the mining industry, climbing only 0.5 per cent in the quarter after climbing 1.4, 1.2 and 0.9 per cent in previous quarters. The heat has come out of mining sector wages as commodity prices have begun to fall. In the past three months iron ore prices have fallen 34 per cent, coking coal 21 per cent and copper 14 per cent.
Total private sector wage growth averaged 3.7 per cent in the quarter, barely above the 3.5 per cent rate of inflation. Public sector wages grew 3.3 per cent.
"Far from a wages breakout, workers are struggling to keep up with rises in the cost of living," ACTU secretary Jeff Lawrence said. "What we are seeing is steady, solid and sustainable increases in wages. The facts are the wages share of national income is now 53.1 per cent, close to the lowest it has been for almost 50 years, while the profits share of 28.1 per cent is close to the all-time high.
"Employer groups have been screaming that a wages breakout was imminent since this time last year, but there is no evidence it has occurred."
An Australian Institute of Company Directors survey released this week forecast wage growth of 4.2 per cent. One in five of those surveyed expected wages to climb 5 per cent.
Over the past quarter, wage costs grew fastest in the accommodation and food services industry and lowest in mining. Over the past year, wage costs grew fastest in the wholesale and mining industries and lowest in public administration.
At 0.7 per cent, total growth in the September quarter was the lowest in almost two years. Total annual growth slipped from 3.8 to 3.6 per cent.
''The tame reading keeps the door open to another rate cut,'' said CommSec economist Craig James. "It's a Goldilocks situation - wages are not too hot, not too cold. But they are still rising at a faster pace than underlying inflation, meaning they can support spending. The combination of continued economic growth and a flattening of the job market means productivity may be picking up."

Biografia

Origini e studi
Giovanni Antonio Farina, nacque a Gambellara (Vicenza) l'11 gennaio 1803, secondo dei cinque figli di Pietro Farina e Francesca Bellame. Fin dall'infanzia fu educato allo studio e alla pratica religiosa da uno zio paterno, per lunghi anni parroco di Cereda, frazione di Cornedo Vicentino, una piccola comunità sui colli della Valle dell'Agno.

A quindici anni entrò nel seminario vescovile di Vicenza dove frequentò tutti i corsi distinguendosi per una particolare attitudine allo studio. A 21 anni, mentre ancora frequentava i corsi di Teologia, venne destinato all'insegnamento nella scuola di Grammatica del seminario.

Ministero sacerdotale
Ricevuta nel 1827 l'ordinazione sacerdotale, rimase come docente in seminario per 18 anni, dove ricevette gli incarichi di maestro di Umanità, di Teologia pastorale, di Sacra eloquenza, di Metodica, di Catechetica e dove divenne anche bibliotecario e vice direttore dello studio teologico; fu anche canonico della cattedrale. Durante i primi 10 anni di sacerdozio prestò anche servizio come cappellano nella parrocchia cittadina di San Pietro, dove evidenziò la sua sensibilità di educatore in istituzioni scolastiche e nella elevazione culturale e morale delle ragazze della parrocchia, spesso abbandonate a sé stesse; in particolare, sostenne e innovò l'educazione e l'istruzione delle ragazze sorde e cieche.

In questa parrocchia, costituita per la gran parte da famiglie operaie, nel 1827 era stata portata da don Luca Passi l'Opera di Santa Dorotea e, nel febbraio dell'anno seguente, era stata istituita la Pia scuola di carità per le fanciulle povere. Don Antonio Farina fin dagli inizi si prese a cuore l'Opera e nel 1831 la innestò nell'altra della Pia scuola che minacciava di estinguersi; fino al 1836 le maestre furono persone secolari non vincolate da voti, ma in quell'anno - anche per dare maggiore stabilità all'istituzione - Farina favorì la costituzione di un gruppo di tre nuove maestre, che vivevano in comune e alle quali dette una regola; era l'origine delle Suore Maestre di Santa Dorotea, figlie dei Sacri Cuori, un Istituto religioso femminile che si è esteso nel tempo in Italia e in altre nazioni, dedicandosi all'istruzione e all'educazione cristiana della gioventù e prestando servizio anche negli ospedali e in istituzioni formative.

Ministero episcopale
Nel 1850 con decreto imperiale fu nominato vescovo di Treviso e confermato da papa Pio IX, ricevendo la consacrazione episcopale il 19 gennaio 1851 nella Cattedrale di Vicenza. Nella diocesi trevigiana, dove fece il suo ingresso il 16 febbraio 1851, iniziò subito la visita pastorale e organizzò in tutte le parrocchie associazioni per l'aiuto materiale e spirituale agli indigenti, tanto da essere chiamato "il vescovo dei poveri".

Incrementò la pratica degli esercizi spirituali e l'assistenza ai sacerdoti poveri e infermi; curò la formazione dottrinale e culturale del clero e dei fedeli, l'istruzione e la catechesi della gioventù. L'intero decennio del suo episcopato a Treviso fu turbato da questioni giuridiche con il Capitolo della cattedrale, che gli crearono profonda sofferenza e condizionarono la realizzazione del suo programma pastorale frenando molte iniziative, fino a impedirgli la celebrazione del sinodo diocesano. Il 18 settembre 1858 conferì l'ordinazione presbiterale a don Giuseppe Sarto, futuro papa Pio X.

Il 18 giugno 1860 venne trasferito alla sede vescovile di Vicenza - rimasta vacante per la morte di Giovanni Giuseppe Cappellari - in cui fece l'ingresso il 16 dicembre. Secondo il Mantese il suo trasferimento fu imposto dagli austriaci, che volevano a Vicenza un vescovo di loro piena fiducia, ben diverso dal predecessore Cappellari.

Era un momento politicamente molto difficile: erano trascorsi solo dieci anni dai moti insurrezionali del 1848 e la sudditanza all'Impero asburgico era vista come un giogo oppressivo; qualche mese prima il Regno di Sardegna si era annesso le Marche e l'Umbria, dopo avere sconfitto l'esercito pontificio e nonostante le proteste di Pio IX. In città si erano create forti tensioni tra i cattolici conservatori filo-austriaci e quelli che manifestavano idee liberali e favorevoli al prossimo regno d'Italia.

Lo stesso giorno del suo ingresso in diocesi il nuovo vescovo scrisse al clero e al popolo di Vicenza la sua prima lettera pastorale, che riprendeva un'altra emanata dal vicario capitolare il 3 maggio, nella quale richiamava l'unità di spirito e di sentimenti con il Papa e l'obbedienza al vescovo. La presa di posizione in favore del Papa fu interpretata in chiave politica come fedeltà all'imperatore d'Austria (al quale in effetti Antonio Farina era legato da riconoscenza) ed egli fu tacciato di essere "austriacante".

Secondo il Franzina, il nuovo vescovo creò un clima di rigore e oscurantismo verso clero e laici, molti dei quali - giudicati colpevoli ora di immoralità, ora di simpatie filo-italiane, liberali o unitarie - furono allontanati dai loro incarichi, come il rettore del seminario Antonio Graziani; il Farina anzi sollecitò regolarmente l'intervento delle autorità di polizia austriache per rendere più efficace questa repressione.

Indisse e presiedette nel 1863 il sinodo diocesano che non veniva celebrato dal 1689; una volta pubblicate le costituzioni sinodali, l'anno successivo iniziò la visita pastorale dapprima in città, poi nel resto della diocesi; percorse talvolta molta strada a piedi o con la mula, per raggiungere anche i paesini di montagna che non avevano mai visto un vescovo. Nel corso del 1866 la visita fu interrotta dalle vicende politiche - la terza guerra d'indipendenza e l'annessione del Veneto all'Italia - e queste diedero luogo a dimostrazioni di ostilità contro il vescovo.

Nella diocesi di Vicenza il Farina mise in atto un vasto programma di rinnovamento e svolse una imponente opera pastorale orientata alla formazione culturale e spirituale del clero e dei fedeli, all'insegnamento catechistico dei bambini, alla riforma degli studi e della disciplina nel seminario.

Istituì numerose confraternite per il soccorso ai poveri e ai sacerdoti anziani e per la predicazione di esercizi spirituali al popolo. Gli ultimi anni della vita furono contrassegnati da aperti riconoscimenti per la sua attività apostolica e la sua carità, ma anche da profonde sofferenze e da ingiuste accuse di fronte alle quali egli reagì con il silenzio, la tranquillità interiore e il perdono, con fedeltà alla propria coscienza.

Partecipò alle sessioni del Concilio Vaticano I fino al 14 giugno 1870, dovendo poi abbandonarlo per motivi di salute; così non poté partecipare alla sessione del 18 luglio, durante la quale fu proclamato il dogma dell'infallibilità pontificia. Per questa sua assenza fu fortemente attaccato dalla stampa liberale vicentina.

Dopo una prima grave malattia nel 1886, le sue forze fisiche si indebolirono gradatamente, tanto che la fine del 1887 la Santa sede gli accordò un coadiutore nella persona di Antonio Maria De Pol, che gli sarebbe successo nella cattedra vescovile. Un ictus lo portò alla morte il 4 marzo 1888; venne sepolto nella cappella del Cimitero maggiore della città, donde venne trasferito 10 anni dopo all'Istituto delle Suore di Santa Dorotea, oggi denominato Istituto Farina.

Culto
Dopo la sua morte la fama di santità andò crescendo negli ambienti religiosi e civili; fin dal 1897 si cominciò a ricorrere alla sua intercessione per ottenere grazie e favori celesti. Nel processo di canonizzazione si attesta che nel 1978 una suora ecuadoriana, Inés Torres Cordova, colpita da grave tumore con metastasi diffuse, guarì miracolosamente dopo avere invocato il padre fondatore insieme alle sue consorelle.

Il 4 novembre 2001 fu dichiarato beato da papa Giovanni Paolo II e il 23 novembre 2014 venne proclamato santo da papa Francesco. Egli è così il primo vescovo della diocesi di Vicenza divenuto santo, dopo i due vescovi del Medioevo proclamati beati: Giovanni de Surdis Cacciafronte e Bartolomeo da Breganze.

La memoria liturgica ricorre il 4 marzo secondo il Martirologio Romano e il 14 gennaio nella diocesi di Vicenza.

Molecular and bioelectric devices; tissue regeneration.
Nano-electromagnetics (NEMS)--Signaling at the nano/bio interface: The measurement, analysis and propagation of electrical, magnetic and optical signals with nanoscale spatial resolution is of interest within biomolecular sensing, morphogenesis, tissue regeneration, ion-channel signaling and the directed hierarchical assembly of materials. Our research group focuses on engineering nano-device interfaces to biosystems to harness electrical, magnetic, and optical signal transduction methodologies. Nanostructured devices, due to their enormous surface to volume ratio enable enhanced kinetics, sensitivity and heat transfer, as well as phenomena arising from sub-wavelength structures and the overlap of neighboring electrical double layers. We focus on electrokinetic enrichment, patterning and separation of biosystems for applications within early diagnosis of diseases; guidance of cells for tissue regeneration, and nano-assembly of materials.
Our research is broadly organized within the following areas:
(1) Microfluidic devices for selective pre-concentration and separation of biological cells using electrokinetic and magnetic manipulation
(2) Nanofluidic devices for dielectrophoretic enrichment of biomarkers for high-sensitivity detection of cancer biomarkers, mRNA from infectious agents, and viruses
(3) Electrical and optical signal transduction on micro- and nanofluidic devices: Integrating sensing with localized manipulation
(4) Electrical and magnetic methods for the alignment, patterning and hierarchical assembly of nanostructures

This longstanding form of medical imaging is still one of the most useful.
An X-ray is a procedure that produces images of the inside of your body.
X-ray beams are a form of electromagnetic radiation, first discovered by German professor Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895.
In the procedure, a machine sends X-ray beams through your body.
The resulting images are recorded either on film or by a computer.
X-ray images show the body in shades of black and white, because different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation.
Dense materials in the body (such as bones or metal) show up as white on an X-ray image.
Parts of the body that contain air appear as black, while muscle, fat, and fluids show up as shades of gray.
Sometimes, a contrast medium (containing iodine or barium) is injected, swallowed, or delivered as an enema to provide more detail on X-ray images.
X-rays can be performed at a doctor's office, dentist's office, hospital, or other medical facility.
The procedure can take anywhere from a few minutes to more than an hour, depending on the type of image your doctor or dentist needs.
A technician will position your body and the X-ray machine.
You will need to remain still and may have to hold your breath during the X-ray. Movement can cause blurry images.
The machine will capture images of your body as you sit, stand, or lie still. The process is painless.
If you need a contrast medium for your X-ray, you'll swallow it or receive it by an intravenous injection or enema ahead of time.
Follow all instructions your doctor provides before an X-ray.
Be sure to let your doctor know if you're pregnant or may become pregnant.
Also, tell your doctor if you're using an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control.
You may have to remove all jewelry and other metal objects from your body before having an X-ray.
Typically, you can resume normal activities after an X-ray.
Be sure to drink plenty of fluids if you had an X-ray with a contrast medium.
X-rays expose your body to radiation, which some people worry could raise the risk of developing cancer.
However, the level of exposure in adults is usually very low, and the benefits typically outweigh the risks.
Let your doctor know if you're pregnant, because radiation exposure may not be safe for an unborn baby.

Hold On to Hope
Written by: A.L. Jackson
Narrated by: Andi Arndt, Zachary Webber
Evan Bryant wasn't your typical hero. But he was mine. Broken by the worlds' standards, he was still the strongest boy I would ever know. My best friend. The boy I'd given everything to. My heart, my body, and the promise of forever. The day I'd needed him most, he walked away. He left me shattered and questioning the love I'd thought we'd shared.
The Day He Came Back
It was the summer of my life. I'd met the guy of my dreams. Unfortunately, he was the son of my uppity employer - and very much off-limits. But Gavin was a rebel. He knew his mother would disown him if she found out about us; in his eyes, we just had to be careful. He never treated me as his mother did - like hired help. Instead, Gavin put me on a pedestal and loved me harder than I'd ever been loved in my life.

By SSharp on 2019-11-30
Written by: Lauren Blakely
I couldn't have scripted a more perfect night. For one fantastic evening, at a masquerade party in the heart of Manhattan, I'm not the millionaire everyone wants a piece of. Fine - multimillionaire.

And that's why I'm eager to get to know her more, since my mystery woman seems to like me for me, rather than for my huge...bank account. Everything's coming up aces. Until the next day, when things get a little complicated. (Newsflash - a lot complicated.)

Beautiful Mistake
Written by: Vi Keeland
The first time I met Caine West was in a bar. He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out. When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight -- telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass. You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend-smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married. He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he'd done.

British Bedmate
Narrated by: Zachary Webber, Andi Arndt
I'm writing this letter because it's highly doubtful I'll ever garner the courage to say this to your face. So, here goes. We're totally wrong for each other. You're the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I'm just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England. But here's the thing... for some bloody reason, I can't stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways.

Hot Jocks, Book 3
Written by: Kendall Ryan
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Savannah Peachwood
Your favorite hot jocks are back with an all new stand-alone novel. If you like sexy, confident men who know how to handle a stick (on and off the ice), and smart women who are strong enough to keep all those big egos in check, this series of athlete romances is perfect for you!
Mister Moneybags
I met Bianca in an elevator. She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck. The beautiful raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed. She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she'd dubbed "Mister Moneybags" - her afternoon appointment. Bianca told me how much she hated Dex's type - snobby, over-educated, silver-spooned men who didn't appreciate the simple things in life.
Loved it (with a caveat)
By Vita on 2018-12-02
We met in the least likely of places. It started out innocently enough. I was "ScreenGod", and she was "Montana", but of course those weren't our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind. Logging in at night and talking to her was my escape - my sanctuary. Her real name was Eden, I'd soon come to find out. From the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed. She was an addiction. At first, we knew nothing about each other's real identities...and she was adamant that we keep things that way.
I Loved this!

A Lie for a Lie
All In, Book 1
Written by: Helena Hunting
Narrated by: Stella Bloom, Jason Clarke
Sometimes I need an escape from the demands, the puck bunnies, and the notoriety that come with being an NHL team captain. I just want to be a normal guy for a few weeks. So when I leave Chicago for some peace and quiet, the last thing I expect is for a gorgeous woman to literally fall into my lap on a flight to Alaska. Even better, she has absolutely no idea who I am.
Mack Daddy
They called him Mack Daddy. No, seriously, his name was Mack. Short for Mackenzie. Thus, the nickname. Perfect, right? So was he: perfect. The perfect physical male specimen. At the private school where I taught, Mack Morrison was the only man around in a sea of women.
Written by: Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward, Corinne Michaels
I spent 20 years waiting for Trent Hennington to open his eyes and see me. But it was all for nothing. He chose to keep himself guarded and let me walk away, proving that my time and efforts were wasted. I'm done being invisible. It's time to move on. A single dance sets my new reality into motion, and I welcome it. After all, Cooper Townsend is perfect. He's kind, sexy, and attentive - everything a girl could want. I thought I got it right this time.That my heart could mend, and I would be happy. Apparently, some things really are just too hard to walk away from.
Beautiful Mistake!
By Michelle on 2019-07-20
I didn't mean to sneak a peek at my older brother's best friend. But when I catch him showering by mistake, I can't help but look. The guy is massive - and I do mean everywhere. We're all home to celebrate Dad's retirement as one big happy family, except my newlywed brother's already getting divorced, my mom keeps asking why I'm still single, and most frustrating of all, Barrett Wilson is staying with us at my parents' home for the weekend. I've known Barrett for years, so why am I suddenly noticing so many new things about him - like how big he is? It's maddening.
Great book
By kyra on 2018-06-13
From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new, sexy standalone novel.
Growing up, the three of us were friends. He was the nerd. I was the playboy. She was the beauty.
Deep down, I only ever wanted her. I kept it inside because Rory and I made a pact that our friend, Amber, was off-limits.
He lied.
I went off to college, and he got the girl. Amber never knew how I felt. They were together for years - before he broke her heart.
Through it all and across the miles, she and I casually stayed in touch. When my job sent me to Boston for a three-month contract position, Amber let me stay in her spare room.
Still reeling from her breakup, she'd sworn off men. One night, I opened her computer to find the shock of my life. She'd hesitantly contacted a male escort company. Afraid to date and get her heart broken again, she was looking for sex with no strings. Every emotion imaginable ran through me: protectiveness, jealousy - curiosity.
Amber had chosen Gentleman Number Nine and sent him a message. She opened up to him, confessing, among other things, her physical attraction to her friend - me. But she considered me off-limits - and she thought I was a man-whore. (Ironic, considering the circumstances.)
Eventually, she set up a date to meet Gentleman Nine at a hotel. When she showed up several nights later to meet him, she was stunned to see me standing there - with an offer I hoped she wouldn't refuse.

🌟🌟 5 Stars 🌟🌟
I LOVED THIS BOOK! Seriously this book touched on so many sensitive subjects that it hit home for me completely. I love friends to lovers and I also love an honest relationship and this book had it in spades. I get tired of the unnecessary immature drama added to most stories to make them interesting and this book didn't have that imho. The characters were all a little damaged by life but they all acted like adults and that is exactly what I love in romance books. I could personally relate to one of the "things" that was going on in this story so I think maybe that is what made this feel real to me. This book almost felt like 2 stories, it starts with the friends secret attraction and Gentleman nine but once that part breaks apart it's like a whole new story.
The narration was great as always.
PS Channing is my kind of book hero <3

OMG! The narration!
5 Crazy Ass Must Listen/Read Stars!!!!!
Okay, I started reading this a few days ago but the craziness that is my life didn't let me keep my kindle in my hand very long so when I saw that the audiobook had released, I snatched it up. OMG! The narrators really brought me more into the story than I was when I was reading. They really made this story for me. Talk about hard core voice-crush here, too. SebYo is my absolute favorite. He could read the phonebook (if those still exist) and I would be swooning and going all kinds of gooey. And Andi Arnt is one of my favorite female narrators. She just does an amazing job with all characters and telling of the story.
I really enjoyed listening to this story, though I'm not sure I would have the same rating had I just read it. Chandler and Amber's story was another great one from Penelope Ward. I really don't like love triangles but the lead up to that and the angst of it all kept me reading.
CAROLYN 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
A DEEP BEAUTIFUL BITTERSWEET JOURNEY OF FRIENDS
I've really really reeeeally enjoyed Penelope Ward's previous audiobooks.. but, for me, this one stands out above all the rest and it gave me butterflies, goosebumps and that awwwwe sweet feeling at the end. However, she threw in some heartbreaking and nerve wracking curveballs too because this talented author certainly knows how to mix things up, pull at your heartstrings and leave you reeling just when you think the happy ever after is in sight.
It's the story of three teenage best friends.. two boys who were in love with the same unsuspecting girl, a pact was secretly made and one left, one stayed broke the pact and got the girl. Nine years later the boys are twenty-seven year old men, the girl's a twenty-five year old woman.. and one man broke the her heart and left room for the other one to slowly claim it. He would be her shoulder to cry on, her comfort.. and then he'd become her salvation, her temptation, her lover.. and eventually much more. But Fate, the past and Destiny weren't finished with any of them yet.
The combustible chemistry had always been there between the wonderful multi-layered hero and heroine - however it was the depth of their feelings that had a chance to surface and bloom into more once given proximity and the opportunity to grow. And it took shared times, sexcapades, humor, a surprising guest and a jaw-dropping twist to bring out heartfelt passionate words of love, tender words of devotion, heartbreaking words of regret, bitter-sweet words of pain.. and sighworthy words of hope. Each scene had me riveted with expectations.. with hope.. with happiness.. with droolworthy delight.. with dread.. and with tears because Ms. Ward's emotional rollercoaster reached such highs and then such lows. The dual POV storyline was brought to life by Sebastian and Andi whose talents injected all the right feels and made a good book into a powerful listen.
Worth a credit? Oh boy.. I'm holding a virtual megaphone shouting into it YES I loved it.. YES get it now.. and YES it's abso.freakin.lutely creditworthy.
My Favorite Romance Novel by P Ward thus far!!!
Omg, I love this book from start to finish. I couldnt stop listening. Penelope Ward delivers again!!!
I liked the story and wondered why so much was given away at the beginning in the summary, but soon found out that it almost felt like two totally different books. I'm not a big fan of the love triangle but if you are this is a great book for you.
As always Andi and Sebastian are on their game.
Poorly narrated hard core porn
If you enjoy hearing words like fuck, cunt, cum, cock, pussy, etc...then this book is for you. Besides the lack of subtlety, both narrators aren't very good at pauses when movements occur so it's sometimes hard to follow when a scene changes. There is also no difference in character voices which was disappointing. I've listened to audio books consisting of many characters and could tell who was speaking just by the narrator's voice, this was for from the case here. In fact, it got to be so bad, I stopped listening at chapter 25...there's only so much fucking a girl can take. This is officially the second book in life I haven't finished.
Interesting friends to lovers romance
Cute read with just a hint of a love triangle. It was well written to the point you even felt bad for the "bad guy". I would love to see a book about the one she didnt choose.
The narration was great, I wouldn't change a thing.
Angela W.
If You Love Someone; Set Them Free.....
What a Beautiful story! It had all the great elements you'd want in a Romance book without going over the top. There is No Unbelievable Plot, No one is filthy rich, No Deep Dark Secrets or over exaggerated sex scenes. This Book was Sweet, Raw and Real.... It was so relatable, The Author did such a great Job of expressing the emotions of all the characters. so Much so That some of you will feel and remember the pain that you felt when it had happened to you. I Don't want to go to much into the story because I don't want to give anything away but like I said before it has all the great elements you love about Romance Books... Second Chance Love, First Love, Childhood friends, Friends with Benifits, Friends to Lovers, Love Triangle, Baby drama, Reconciling, Letting go, holding on, Heartbreak and of course Wise old ones with words of Wisdom!
Trinigal78
A real joy
I haven't completely enjoyed a book in a long time. So worth any credits. It was fun, romantic, touching, heartbreaking & heartwarming....
Danielle M Shifflett
it was ok
I guess I'm not a huge fan of wimpy women and Petty men. it's a little nauseating.

30: Vanessa Van Edwards | How to Captivate with Social Cues
Vanessa Van Edwards (@vvanedwards) is the lead investigator at human behavior research lab Science of People and author of Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People.
What We Discuss with Vanessa Van Edwards:
How to make a graceful exit with social cues.
How to nicely interrupt someone with social cues.
How to introduce someone whose name you don't remember.
How to show someone you are (or are not) attracted to them with social cues.
How to show someone you don't believe them with social cues.
Language is more than knowing what to say — it's knowing how to say it whether or not words are being exchanged. And understanding the way people interact on a nonverbal level can make or break communication or cement how we perceive one another — whether positively or negatively.
In this episode, Science of People body language expert and author of Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People Vanessa Van Edwards gives us a ton of practicals for how we can optimize our verbal and nonverbal communication skills to captivate the attention of others through social cues. Listen, learn, and enjoy!

We may think we're nailing a job interview or acing an introduction to someone new or really hitting it off with someone we find attractive, but if we don't understand how we're presenting ourselves through nonverbal social cues — and what others are trying to tell us with theirs — we're missing a vastly important part of the story and risking deal-breaking misinterpretations as a result.
Thankfully, we have Science of People body language expert and Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People author Vanessa Van Edwards on deck to share some of the most useful practicals for navigating social situations with expertise grace.
Future Mentions and Graceful Exits
Even if you know how to gracefully enter a conversation and leave a great first impression, tactfully exiting a conversation and leaving a great last impression is just as important. Vanessa offers some great tips to prepare people for an exit. One is asking about the future ("What are you doing this weekend?") to break them out of thinking in the present tense. Another might be to allude to a follow-up ("Could I get your card?" or "Let's try to follow up on…") to indicate things are wrapping up.
Coping with Interrupters
Vanessa has a few strategies for dealing with interrupters — people who won't let you get a word into the conversation or always feel the need to fill the silence. She offers some nonverbal strategies to help, including "the fish" (opening your mouth as if you are about to say something) or putting your hand up, palm out.
If you slightly open your fingers in this hand up position, it's generally perceived as being less threatening.
Cooling Down Romantic Advances
Sometimes you might find that you attract a little too much attention, and you want to cool things down before the other person crosses a boundary that could wind both of you up in HR before lunchtime.
Sometimes you might mistakenly convey recriprocal attraction in ways that seem unlikely on the surface. Even just smiling and nodding in reaction to what someone's saying can be misconstrued to mean more than what you're trying to convey. And if you happen to be someone who communicates by touching and laughing, these haptics can supercharge the miscommunication further.
When you want to clearly indicate that you're not romantically attracted to the other person in the conversation, resist the urge to smile, laugh, nod, or touch them. You can still display engagement by a slight tilt of the head without giving the wrong impression.
Listen to this episode in its entirety to learn more about ways we can exit a conversation gracefully and leave a lasting last impression, how we can interrupt a conversation politely, what we can do when we have to introduce someone whose name we've forgotten, how to show someone we're attracted (or not attracted) to them, how to make it clear we don't believe what someone is saying, and much more.

The following Property Watch report is the result of an investigation into the historic and current market trends of the Buninyong Area which includes the suburbs of Buninyong, Clarendon, Scotsburn, Durham Lead, Yendon, Mount Helen, Navigators and Mount Clear. The Buninyong Area sits approximately thirteen kilometres south of the Ballarat town centre and forms a large proportion of the Ballarat local government area (LGA), also spanning neighbouring Golden Plains and Moorabool municipal districts.
The Buninyong Area housing market has remained consistent since October 2008 averaging fifty transactions per half year period. Albeit a decrease for total number of transactions historically, the Buninyong Area median price has surged to new heights peaking at $355,000 registering a substantial 18.3 per cent increase for the annual period ending October 2012. It appears that the period of low interest rates following the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) has assisted investors allowing an increase in their purchasing power. This being said, the Buninyong Areas recent spike in median price can be similarly associated with the increase in high-end product and decrease in entry level sales as seen in the Buninyong Area House Price Point Analysis.
As evidenced in the above Sales Cycle table, the Buninyong Area is exceeding the median price of the neighbouring Ballarat Area by $70,000 (19 per cent) at October 2012. This indicates that while Ballarat continues to intensify and vacant residential lots fast become obsolete (-9.3 per cent p.a. since October 2002), a sprawl toward outlying suburbs like Buninyong is increasing to support regional Victorians appetite for larger lifestyle lots of which Buninyong boasts 84 per cent of lots greater than 800m2.
As mentioned previously, the Buninyong Area median housing price has performed favourably due to the increase in high-end product and similar decrease in entry level housing sales. The Buninyong Area price point analysis (below) indicates an increased appetite for the higher end product with sales between $300,000 and $400,000 as well as $400,000+ markets increasing 19 and 17 per cent respectively. Alternately, the Buninyong Area has witnessed a 37 per cent decline in total housing sales under $300,000.
The Buninyong Area vacant land market has been historically improving and recently saw the median price peak at $145,900 at the 6-month period ending April 2012. However, with this peak of median price along with the number of total transactions declining since October 2010, the Buninyong Area can expect a correction in vacant land pricing only further enticing investment and development enquiry for the Buninyong Area.
While the majority of regional Victorian centres have seen decreasing activity levels across residential markets, there remains to be positive sentiment in the Buninyong Area and surrounding municipalities with the continual increase in median price and consumer confidence. With this continuation of current trends and sound investment landscape the Buninyong Area will maintain its residential market consistency, setting the scene for a positive 2013.

Organs ready for donation discarded as transplant centres close due to pandemic
Organs ready for donation are being discarded because NHS transplant centres are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was warned on Wednesday night.
A "precious resource" of kidneys and other organs for which there is a waiting list cannot be given to patients in need because surgery has been restricted due to pressures elsewhere in the NHS.
Doctors and MPs on Wednesday night called for all operations to resume immediately as specialists said that they were confident that patient safety was not compromised by Covid-19.
According to information for clinicians, of the 23 kidney transplant centres across the UK seven are currently closed for transplants from deceased donors and six for transplants from living donors. Others are limiting the number of patients that they see because of the pandemic.
Of the eight liver donation centres, the Royal Free Hospital in London is closed whilst three other centres are closed to all but "super urgent" cases on an individual basis. Three of the UK's nine pancreas transplant centres are closed.
All paediatric and Cardio-thoracic centres were still operating Wednesday, although one of the latter was limited to "urgent and super urgent" cases.
The centre at Belfast City Hospital has been closed since October for all patients but "once in a lifetime" matches.
Dr Aisling Courtney, a transplant nephrologist at the hospital, said that they had remained open during the first lockdown and they were confident that transplants could be carried out safely.
Number of organ transplants performed in the UK
Calling for operations to resume, she told The Telegraph: "Deceased donor organs are a very time-limited but very precious resource, there are always more people waiting for an organ then there are transplants."
Those centres that had closed during the current surge had done so because of "logistical restrictions" rather than concern of the safety of the procedures, she said.
It is understood that around half of organ donations come from patients who are deceased, whilst the rest are from living people who have matched with the patient, often a relative, and are willing to give up an organ.
When a donor who is on the register dies, NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) looks at where the organ is needed most and sends it to that centre. If they cannot take it another match will be identified.
But if a recipient for the organ cannot be found within a matter of hours then it cannot be used.
A spokesperson for NHSBT stressed that in that instance the organ would not be removed from the donor's body as the operation does not take place until a recipient is confirmed.
Dr Courtney said that even for those receiving an organ from a living donor timing is important and she knows of people during the pandemic who "lost their opportunity because they became too unwell to be transplanted".
Ian Paisley, the DUP MP for North Antrim, told MPs on Wednesday that he was "horrified" that "a number of human kidneys have been discarded" due to the pause on surgery in the pandemic but his call for a debate on the issue was rejected.
He told The Telegraph: "The key thing is that these operations have to be started again. These are precious organs that should not be wasted and secondly there is great need for them."
Official figures show that between 2019 and 2020 the number of organs transplanted dropped by just over 20 per cent.
John Forsythe, medical director of organ donation and transplantation for NHSBT, said that it was a "challenging and intense area of NHS work, where time is critical" and coronavirus "has brought additional, unprecedented challenges" but they had "plans in place to continue with deceased organ donation and transplant activity as much as possible".

Rosalind Holden, from Southrepps, revealed her confidence was considerably knocked after treatment damaged her larynx.
However, she regained her voice, and confidence, after joining a new singing group run by Norfolk charity Sing Your Heart Out, which was set up to help people feel better about themselves, help reduce stress, and increase their confidence through singing.
Rosalind, who has been attending some of the north Norfolk taster sessions aimed at past and present mental health service users, their family, friends, carers and support workers, said: 'Sing Your Heart Out has helped me get my voice back.
'Music is a great leveller, it's a really friendly group, and I haven't met anyone who doesn't enjoy it. Coming here makes me feel good – and it has given me back my voice, which I thought was lost.'
Founded in 2005, the charity runs regular groups in Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn and south Norfolk.
It is one of seven community groups across north Norfolk celebrating a combined £19,000 windfall, following the latest round of grants from the Victory Housing Community Fund.
The charity has received £3,000 to establish a Sing Your Heart Out Group in North Norfolk, with taster sessions already taking place across the area.
Maggie Wheeler, Sing Your Heart Out committee member and former chair of the county's Mental Health Care Trust, said: 'As well as being physically good for you, singing is proven to enhance your mental health.
'There is a real sense of community at our singing sessions, people enjoy doing things together, and it is equally beneficial for those who have experienced or are experiencing mental health problems, and those who want to protect their own mental wellbeing.'
Other groups receiving support from the Victory Housing Community Fund this month were: EP Youth, which received £4,998 to tackle rural isolation by providing a free inclusive project for young people aged between 11-18 serving Briston, Melton Constable and Hindolveston; Merchants Place in Cromer, which received £3,000 to run 'Yes We Can', a new community learning and social support project designed to meet the needs of local adults with a range of additional needs; Mardler, the North Norfolk Talking Newspaper, which received £2,500 to purchase a laptop and listening devices for users of the service; Norfolk Community Law Service, which received £2,000 to provide a weekly Free Legal Advice Service at Cromer; Stiffkey Playing Field, which received £2,000 to improve the fencing around the play area; and Lighthouse Charity Trust in Sheringham, which received £1,500 to resource the proposed Western Wing extension.
Victory Housing Trust chief executive John Archibald said: 'Once again we are delighted to be giving out grants to some of the most deserving and hard-working voluntary groups.
'Our grants panel has allocated funds to a variety of organisations doing different things, but which all have in common the fact that they are contributing so much to our communities.'

Nissan Leaf EV to Hit Market in Late 2010

Nissan's Leaf is a zero-emission, 100-percent electric vehicle, and it actually looks fairly attractive. But even more intriguing than its frame is its time-frame: The Leaf will be available for purchase next year.Nick Chambers of Gas2.0 offers a rather glowing preview of the Leaf, which can travel 100 miles on a single charge, reach speeds of 90 miles per hour, and carry up to five people-though he's eager for a test-drive. The Leaf can reach 80 percent battery capacity with 30 minutes of charging on a 50-kilowatt DC charger (or 100 percent when plugged in to a standard 200 volt AC outlet for eight hours). I'm still looking for confirmation on price-but Business Week says it costs about $10,000 to make, and that Nissan plans to (wisely) lease the batteries to customers rather than having them buy them outright, which could keep costs on par with the company's standard (sub-$20,000) coupes and sedans.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAxEiecu040&feature=player_embeddedCoupled with the Obama Administration's announcement of $2.4 billion in grants for batteries and electric cars is on the way, this is a pretty red letter day for electric vehicles.


Start of the ride 2017 with my SuperSabrinaGal cape.
The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is a transformational cycling journey, spanning over two days and 200 kilometres. In June 2018, I'll be taking on Ontario's majestic countryside in solidarity and promise to show that cancer is no match against our conviction to conquer it. Funds raised through The Ride directly benefit Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world, and will move us closer to our vision of conquering cancer in our lifetime. Your donation will help to make a life-changing impact for cancer patients right here in Toronto.
Last year was my 5th year riding and I thought it would be my last. Turns out to not be the case. This is an amazing challenge for a very good cause. It has been heartbreaking to me as for the past two years I rode in memory of two special people who lost the battle to cancer - both to forms of blood cancer - Kirstin and Sabrina. I keep them in my heart but this year I want to ride in honour of all the those who have successfully battled this terrible disease - and luckily there are many of them - I've started a list below and will add to it as I think of the names. This wouldn't be the case without the wonderful work of the Princess Margaret Hospital.
Please support my journey and the work of the Princess Margaret Hospital. I can train for and complete the ride (did I mention that in 2018 I'll do the Classic Plus ride which is an even longer ride?), however, I need your help to raise the $2500 minimum pledge. Please consider a donation - however, small to help me on the fundraising part of my journey.
To continue to honour Kirstin and Sabrina, this year funds raised will be donated directly to research related to blood cancers - including lymphoma and multiple myloma in hopes that others with these cancers could be a survivor like the people I'm riding for this year.
Thank you to all who have supported me and shared this journey with me over the past 5 years and to those who continue to support me. I can't do this without you.
Martin, Kelly, Barb, Goldie...more to follow.

Q: Check to see if file is open in OpenVMS before FTP/Append I have a jobm in SAG Natural, that creates workfiles. After they are created I want to append if there are multiple and then ftp them. The append/ftp would be run independently of the job that creates them. This poses the problem of trying to ftp/append a file while it is currently being created.
Is there any syntax in OpenVMS or in FTP that can check to see if a file is open/locked before I continue on with my logic?

A: I would NOT try open for write... because it may work, lock out others, and change the revision date/count.
Instead just try $OPEN/READ/SHARE=READ FILE ...
If it opens, you can actually use the file handle to read the data, thus preventing an other process from (re-)opening it between the test and usage.
But it will be using DCL IO which uses a small buffer.
The example below shows this for mostly for fun: APPEND FILE ...
The example hard-codes an output mostly because I was lazy.
You are better of just closing the file on success first and then use the APPEND/LOG.
Enjoy,
Hein
$ output = "tmp.tmp"
$ if p1.eqs."" then exit 16
$ create tmp.tmp
$ old = ""
$loop:
$ file_name = f$search(p1)
$ if file_name .eqs. "" .or. file_name .eqs.old then exit
$ old = file_name ! Handle non-wildcarded input
$ close/nolog file
$ open/read/share=read/erro=locked_or_other_error file 'file_name'
$ append file tmp.tmp ! /log
$ write sys$error "Appended ", file_name
$ close/nolog file
$ goto loop
$locked_or_other_error:
$ write sys$error "Found, but could not open file ", file_name
$ goto loop

A: Does SHOW DEVICE /FILE help? If your file is open, it should show up in the output of that command.
