Kean Etro's House Is a Time-Travel Machine
The Etro designer's sprawling stone estate in Puglia is only a short flight from his home in Milan—but traveling there lets him live anciently.
By Cam Wolf
PHOTOGRAPHS BY ALDO CASTOLDI/COURTESY OF KEAN ETRO
One afternoon 18 years ago, before designer Kean Etro bought his 50-acre estate in Italy's southern region of Puglia, he put the home through a sort of stress test. The place had looked gorgeous earlier in the day, but he wanted to see it in less generous light. So he returned in the middle of the night. That afternoon's golden-hour sunshine had given way to something much more foul, but that was perfect for Etro. While his companions waited inside, he wandered into the middle of the field behind the stone house and began searching for wildlife. He was also seeking something more mythical. "It was a bit rainy, yes, but I wanted to feel the place." An hour later he emerged. "I came out alive, very happy," he says. "It gave me a very jolly feeling." Ten days later, he bought his rainy getaway.
The house is less than a two-hour flight from Milan, where Etro grew up and where he now serves as creative director of menswear at his family's fashion brand. He's used vibrant colors, wild paisley, and a serious dose of global inspiration to produce suits for CBD-friendly CEOs.
Why Etro loves his trulli: "Ancient building, ancient culture, stay connected," he says. "And not to the internet."
The designer's house, which Etro estimates was originally built in the 17th century, was constructed in the typical Puglian style. The first residents did without mortar, so they could pull apart their houses when they got word the tax collector was on his way. As a result, the rooms he found were circular, with cone-shaped roofs known as trulli. "Like a magician hat," Etro says.
But at the time of Etro's original rainy tour in 2001, the house was dilapidated and run-down. True to his past as a history and archaeology student, Etro insisted on rebuilding the property's structures using period-correct materials that could be found only in the surrounding area. So he brokered deals with neighbors over wine to secure stone, turned old wooden doors into shelves and cupboards, and repurposed floral-design concrete patches found in a nearby field into the house's bathroom floors.
The stone here was rescued from demolished buildings nearby.
Although Etro—along with his wife and children—lives primarily in Milan, the family spend as much time as they can in their idyllic abode nestled in the hills. But he bristles at the notion that the place is some kind of mere getaway that helps him flee the churn of the city. "It's not escape," he says. "It's going back home."
What Etro means is that in Puglia he lives the way he feels he's meant to. He spends time painting and sculpting, foraging for mushrooms, eating from a green garden in the backyard. There are caves to explore ("Like going back in the womb," he says), a pool, and a pizza oven near a meadow where deer frolic. Best of all, Etro likes to sit on his stone patio and play his didgeridoo. A didgeridoo! Naturally: Such an ancient setting calls for an ancient instrument.
A portion of Etro's art collection, including pieces from the Sierra Madre.
The house directly influences the way he designs, he says. "We are famous for color," Etro says of his brand. It's all out there: the brown of a chestnut, the green of early-spring leaves.
But the place in Puglia also serves Etro in less concrete ways. According to the designer, the sorcerer-hat-shaped buildings have an odd power to them. "They are like antennas," he says. The dreams the trulli pick up are so vivid that Etro's brother refuses to sleep in the pointy-roofed buildings when he visits. But for the designer, it's yet another source of creativity. "A lot of things come in dreams," he says. "As long as you manage to remember them."

69th Ljubljana Festival – Nicola Piovani in concert
12 of June of 2021 /in Concerts, News /by STF
The 69th edition of the Ljubljana Festival (1/7 – 8/9/2021) welcomes the celebrated Italian film score composer, pianist, and conductor Nicola Piovani on Wednesday, July 7th, for a special symphonic concert of his film music that will also include the cantata he wrote for the 700th anniversary of poet Dante Alighieri.
Nicola Piovani, creator of music for more than 150 films, including the last three films by the great director Federico Fellini (Ginger and Fred, 1986, Intervista 1987 and The Voice of the Moon, 1990) and Roberto Benigni's classic La vita è bella (Life Is Beautiful), for which he won the 1999 Academy Award for Original Dramatic Score, will conduct the recently founded FVG Orchestra. Joining the orchestra as soloist will be the soprano Annamaria Dell'Oste.
The first part of the concert will present a cantata written by Piovani to mark the 700th anniversary of the death of one of Italy's most important poets, Dante Alighieri, which falls this year. This work attempts to capture, in the staves of its score, a splinter of that light that continues to illuminate the mind of the reader of Dante's immortal lines in the third millennium.
The second part of the concert will consist of music from La vita è bella and the films of Fellini and the Taviani brothers with the following program:
Piovani: Suite Taviani
Fiorile (Flowering)
Il sole anche di notte (Sun at Night)
La notte di San Lorenzo (Night of the St. Laurence)
Good Morning Babilonia (Good Morning Babylonia)
Piovani: Ballata from La Vita nuova
Piovani: Suite from original movie soundtrack La vita è bella
Piovani: Suite Fellini
Intervista (Interview)
La voce della luna (The voice of the Moon)
Ginger & Fred
When: Wednesday, July 7, 2021 at 21:00h
Where: Congress Square (Ljubljana, Slovenia)
Tickets: 39-59 € – https://ljubljanafestival.si/en/event/dantes-inferno-and-film-music-of-nicola-piovani/

Q: Excel FIND and keep text after a character I have in a cell names like :
XXX XXX"CHAR(10)"YYY YYY"CHAR(10)"ZZZ ZZZ

The lines in the cell are separated by CHAR(10), but I also have cell with just WWW WWW , so there is no CHAR(10) in that.
I am using a formula to delete everything after the first CHAR(10) and just keep the first line, but i need an upgrade to the formula to also copy the line if no CHAR(10) is found in the cell.
The formula so far is :
=LEFT(A1; FIND(CHAR(10);A1;1))

Thank you.

A: Try using
=LEFT(A1; FIND(CHAR(10);A1 & CHAR(10);1))

if you want to copy the whole cell if there is no Char(10).
Or you could use e.g. IFERROR.

This week, Global Finishing Solutions (GFS) welcomed a group of automotive refinish distributors at our headquarters in Osseo, Wisconsin, for training on products, service and maintenance, code compliance, sales tools and other various training sessions.
Kicking off the festivities on Sept. 11, GFS distributors and employees participated in a nine-hole scramble at Wild Ridge Golf Course in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Participants received prizes for winning the scramble, as well as longest drive, closest to the pin and longest putt competitions.
Following the scramble, golfers joined the rest of the distributors for a meet and greet at Dive Bar, located at The Lismore Hotel in downtown Eau Claire. GFS distributors and employees enjoyed hors d'oeuvres and beverages on a rooftop patio at sunset.
Dean Hancock, facilitator for Axalta, then discussed trends in the heavy-duty truck refinish market, and Mark Wahlin, VP of franchise development and operations at ABRA, talked about the automotive refinish market.
The distributors spent the remainder of the afternoon in breakout sessions, including sales training, process improvements and collision center productivity topics.
After a full day of training, the distributors regrouped at The Condensery in Osseo for dinner and drinks.
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of the distributors who joined us. It was a pleasure hosting you in the great Midwest!


All church members are called to the Annual Meeting of Trinitarian Congregational Church, on Sunday, January 24th at 11A. Church Members will adopt a 2016 Budget, vote on a new slate of church leaders and receive updated ministry reports. Only the 9:30A worship service will be held that morning.

Alfa Romeo 155 - Added by schnidi.swissonline.ch on 23-May-2020
Alfa Romeo - 155 - 1269
More Information on the Alfa Romeo 155
The Alfa Romeo 155 (Type 167) is a compact executive car produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo between 1992 and 1997. It was released in January 1992 in Barcelona, and the first public launch was in March 1992, at the Geneva Motor Show. It was built in 192,618 units.
Built to replace the 75 and based on the parent Fiat Group's Type Three platform, the 155 was somewhat larger in dimension than the 75 but evolved its styling from that of its predecessor. The 155 was designed by Italian design house I.DE.A Institute. An exceptional drag coefficient of 0.29 was achieved with the body design. The design of the 155 allowed also big boot space, 525 litres (115 imp gal; 139 US gal).
The single most significant technical change from the 75 was the change to a front-wheel drive layout. This new configuration gave cost and packaging benefits but many Alfa die-hards and the automotive press lamented the passing of the "purer" rear wheel drive layout on a car from this sporting marque.
Also available was the 155 Q4, which had a 2.0-litre (120 in3) turbocharged engine and a permanent four-wheel drive powertrain, both derived from the Lancia Delta Integrale; it was essentially a Lancia Delta Integrale with a different body.
The new model came in "Sport" and "Super" guises. The Sport had a slightly lowered ride height and more aggressive dampers while the Super had the option of wooden trim and electronically controlled dampers and seat controls.
Reception of the new model was generally lukewarm. The 75 had been conceived prior to Fiat's acquisition of the Alfa brand, so as "the last real Alfa" it cast rather a shadow over the 155; the loss of rear-wheel drive was frequently cited as the main cause of the disappointment. Nevertheless, the 155 was entered in Touring Car racing and was successful in every major championship it entered, which gradually improved its image.
Belatedly, the factory introduced a wider version in 1995 (the "wide body") which as well as a wider track and revised steering based on racing experience or requirements, also brought in new 16 valve engines for the 1.8 and 2.0 litre, whilst retaining the 2.5 V6 and making some improvements to cabin materials and build quality.
There were several Sport Packs available, including a race inspired body kit (spoiler and side skirts) and black or graphite coloured 16 inch Speedline wheels. The more genteel could opt for the Super which came with wood inserts in the cabin and silver-painted alloy wheels.
The 155 was never produced as a Sportwagon (Alfa's term for an estate or station wagon), but Sbarro made a proposal for such a vehicle in 1994.
Production of the 155 ceased in 1998, when it was replaced by the 156, which was a further development in terms of quality and refinement, and finally moved away from the wedge styling — leaving the 155 as the pinnacle of that particular design stream which dated back to 1977, with the dramatic square styling of the Giulietta Nuova.
1992 – 155 launched
1993 – Grill changed from "flushed" to "recessed"
1994 – 155 Silverstone introduced to the British market, 155 Q4 and turbodiesels to some markets
1995 – New "widebody" series 2 155 launched with wider track, initially only with 2.0 16v engine. Quickrack fitted
1996 – Widebody with 1.8 16v engine introduced
1997 – Production ends
The 155 was initially released with 1.7 L Twin Spark, 1.8 L Twin Spark, and 2.0 L Twin Spark petrol engines, the latter two with variable valve timing. The 1.7 L was not sold in the United Kingdom.
Two four cylinder turbocharged diesel engines, Fiat derived 1.9 L (92 PS (68 kW; 91 hp)) and VM Motori 2.5 L (125 PS (92 kW; 123 hp)) were available in some markets, but again, not for the United Kingdom.
At the top of the 155 range were the 2.5 L V6, using a (166 PS (122 kW; 164 hp)) engine derived from the 3.0 L V6 used in the larger Alfa Romeo 164, and the Q4 which used a drivetrain derived from the Lancia Delta Integrale which meant a 190 PS (140 kW; 190 hp) 2.0 L 16V turbocharged engine and permanent four-wheel drive.
The Q4 also incorporated three differential gears (normal at the front, epicyclic at the centre (including a Ferguson viscous coupling) and torsen self-locking at the rear). Both the 2.5 V6 and Q4 models were also available with electronically adjustable suspension with two damper settings (automatic and sport).
The most notable special edition was the "Silverstone" edition released in the United Kingdom which was known as the "Formula" in Europe: this was released as a homologation exercise to allow Alfa Romeo to compete in the British Touring Car Championship race series and consequently came with a bolt on aero kit, consisting of an adjustable rear spoiler and extendable front air splitter.
The Silverstone was a lighter but no more powerful version of the 1.8 L, even though the race car it was homologating had a 2.0 L engine. This anomaly came about because the 1.8 L engine block, with its narrower bore, allowed Alfa to use a longer stroke on the racing car and stay within the 2.0 L capacity limit.
The Silverstone was only available in either Alfa red or Black paintwork with plain, unpainted bumpers.
In 1995, the 155 was given an extensive revamp, resulting in wider front and rear tracks with subtle enlargement to the wheel arches to accommodate the changes underneath.
The revised car also received a quicker steering rack, with 2.2 turns lock to lock (initially only on the 2.0 , but later followed by the 1.8 L). The four cylinder cars retained the twin spark ignition system but received Alfa designed 16 valve cylinder heads with belt driven camshafts based on engine blocks of Fiat design. They replaced the elderly but indestructible all Alfa 8 valve, chain driven camshaft motors of the earlier models.
The 2.5 L v6 continued in wide body form (but without the steering changes) while the Q4 was discontinued. In Europe, the 1.7 L Twin Spark was replaced by a 1.6 L 16 valve Twin Spark. Some 8 valve engines continued in a wide body car in some markets. The wide bodied cars also received revised interiors and equipment specifications to keep the cars competitive in the showroom.
The wide body ("Series 2") 155s can be distinguished from their earlier counterparts by their flared front and smooth rear wheel arches (the latter replacing the lip round the wheel arch of the original). They also sported round or oblong indicator side-repeaters and had their model badges moved to below the rear lights rather than having them above.
155 GTA Stradale
Alfa Romeo in 1992, on the wake of the wins obtained by the 155 GTA in the Italian CIVT championship, decided to start the production of a "Stradale" version to be manufactured at Abarth workshop. Unfortunately due to the prohibitive production costs only one unit of this car was made. The car was displayed at Bologna Motor Show and being used at Monza GP d'Italia as safety car. After having lost track Davide Cironi, (Davide Cironi Driving Experience on YouTube) found it in "barn find condition" in Italy and called the holy grail of Alfa.
155 TI.Z and GTAZ
Zagato made two special versions of 155. In 1993, the 155 TI.Z was introduced, and in 1995, the 155 GTAZ. Both models had more muscular looking exterior and more power than regular models, the TI.Z had 170 PS (130 kW; 170 hp) Twin Spark engine and GTAZ had the 155 Q4's turbocharged two litre engine now producing 215 PS (158 kW; 212 hp). Both models were built only a limited amount and many of the cars were sent to Japan.
The 155 was very successful in touring car racing, using the Supertouring-homologated GTA and the V6 TI for the DTM. Between 1992 and 1994, the 155 managed to take the Italian Superturismo Championship, the German DTM championship (both with Nicola Larini at the wheel), the Spanish Touring Car Championship (with Adrián Campos), and the British Touring Car Championship (with Gabriele Tarquini).
The 155 remained competitive until it was replaced with the 156, finishing third in the DTM (then known as the International Touring Car Championship, or ITC) in 1996 with Alessandro Nannini and winning the Spanish championship again in 1997 with Fabrizio Giovanardi. In 1993, Larini in an Alfa 155 placed second in the FIA Touring Car Challenge behind Paul Radisich in a Ford Mondeo. The 156 was to continue the high standard set by the 155, winning the European Touring Car Championship multiple times.
155 V6 TI
The Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI was a FIA Class 1 touring car that Alfa Corse raced from 1993 to 1996 in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft and the subsequent International Touring Car Championship. A high revving 2.5 L 60° V6 engine was coupled to a four wheel drive system, producing 426 PS (313 kW; 420 hp) at 11500 rpm.
Alfa Corse entered two 155 V6 TIs for works drivers Alessandro Nannini and Nicola Larini; the 1993 season was dominated by Larini winning 11 of 22 races,.
In 1994, the rivals from Mercedes seemed to have the advantage, but Alfa did manage to win a further eleven races. A more consistent performance from the Germans gave them the title. Since the 1995 season, the team got new sponsorship livery from Martini Racing.
The 1996 version had a 2.5 L 90° V6 engine based loosely on the PRV engine delivering 490 PS (360 kW; 480 hp) at 11,900 rpm, had a top speed of around 300 kilometres per hour (190 mph) and weighed 1,060 kilograms (2,340 lb).
The Alfa 155 V6 TI has a record of 38 wins (plus 3 other non championship races). The victories were obtained by seven different drivers: 17 (+1) Nicola Larini, 13 (+1) Alessandro Nannini, 2 Stefano Modena, 2 (+1) Christian Danner, 2 Michael Bartels, 1 Kris Nissen and 1 Gabriele Tarquini.
Alfa 155 was widely used by Italian police forces (Polizia di Stato, Carabinieri, etc.). The Italian State Police bought more than five thousand Alfa 155s from 1994 to 1998.

Many of the details of the so-called "iPhone 7" are well established: It will be largely physically similar to the current iPhone 6S and 6S plus, but it could have an improved camera, as well a new rear design with hidden antenna lines.
Oh, and it's going to be missing a port for plugging in headphones.
Here are the latest leaked pictures of the iPhone 7, from Steve Hemmerstoffer, editor of Nowhereelse.fr. He's accurately leaked pre-release parts several times in the past year.
The photo up-top is an image of the "dual-lens" camera which could be a feature on the iPhone 7 Plus or "Pro" model.
There are a couple of things to notice in these photos.
First, if these parts are authentic, that means the iPhone 7 will have a camera lens that's larger in diameter than the current shooter on the iPhone 6. That suggests the iPhone 7 camera will have superior performance in low-light and fast-moving situations.
Finally, we now know what's going to replace the headphone port on the iPhone 7: another speaker. If you're wondering if there are additional reasons why Apple would remove a useful port, one guess is that the move is in preparation for the iPhone coming out in 2017.
In fact, the 2017 iPhone is rumoured to be a much larger upgrade than the iPhone 7 — with wireless charging, a new glass body, and a bigger and better screen.
Apple will announce the "iPhone 7" — or whatever it decides to call it — this September.

Psychic Porno Giallo: Patrick Still Lives (1980)
"What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see?"
These immortal lyrics, sung by Kermit the Frog - an ode to the dazzling, multicolored miracles that appear during the first sun following a rainstorm - could just as easily be applied to the mind of a cult movie addict. Truth be told, if you consume enough low budget genre junk, your brain's pleasure centers become dulled and weary, unable to properly replicate the filmic dopamine rush delivered by that initial viewing of outsider treasures such as Craig Denney's The Astrologer (1976), or vile Eurosleaze transmissions like Jacopetti & Prosperi's Farewell Uncle Tom (1972). The rainbows, however tarnished and piss stained, are missing from your life.
It's why we keep shooting stepped on dope, now typically peddled by overpriced boutique sleaze merchants boasting better transfers and deep dive histories nobody was begging for in the first place, occasionally getting a solid buzz yet never quite ascending to that first face-rush the disreputable dragon delivered. Yet buried somewhere deep in your brain is the scant hope that there is something still out there, waiting to be injected straight into your eyeballs, that you've never seen before. Not just a film, mind you, but a full body experience; one that makes the hair stand up on your arms while your mind silently screams "YOU CAN FUCKING DO THAT IN A MOVIE?"
Then a woman gets psychically impaled through her vagina with a fire poker, complete with graphic, porn-worthy penetration shots and, to paraphrase another pop superstar (who's only slightly less famous than Kermit), it all comes back to you now. Delivered by Mario Landi, an Italian television workhorse and author of arguably the most loco perversion of the gialli thriller, Patrick Still Lives (1980) is an abject triumph of the rip off culture that's dominated the more scandalous corners of world cinema for decades. Yet even if you're thoroughly familiar with that sticky subgenre - from Italy's unofficial Romero sequels to Egypt's own Rocky Horror Picture Show clone to Turkey's blatant Exorcist cash-in - nothing can fully prepare you for the gnarly delights of Patrick Still Lives.
Now, to briefly adopt the cadence of Rudy Ray Moore: who is Patrick and why is he still alive? Well, to be honest, Patrick Still Lives is actually a second generation deep fake; a Taiwanese Twinkie of a movie that borrows from Richard Franklin's rather obvious Ozploitation ode to Brian de Palma's blockbuster Stephen King adaptation, Carrie (1976). In it, the titular psychic vegetable (played to dead-eyed perfection by Robert Thompson) stalks a pretty nurse (Susan Penhaligon) and generally makes life a living hell in the private ward where he's been hospitalized following that time he killed his naked whorish mother and one of her lovers by throwing a space heater into the tub. You know, that old chestnut.
Unnaturally, Patrick (1978) was a huge hit, grossing all the money at the Australian box office and becoming a sort of unofficial international ambassador for the exploitation-driven boom that revitalized Oz's film industry. Quentin Tarantino stole Patrick's involuntary spitting for Kill Bill (2002). Not Quite Hollywood (2008) documentarian Mark Hartley remade it as his narrative debut behind the lens. Franklin would go on to become a key figure in rejuvenating Hitchcock's reputation via campus repertory screenings while the master director was in a career slump, and even brought Al's iconic momma's boy back to the big screen with the golden era slasher sequel, Psycho II (1983). Culturally speaking, Patrick kind of a big deal.
Truthfully, the movie itself is fine - a series of entertaining shock tactics that, in hindsight, seem somewhat tame compared to most of the diseased filth New York City's 42nd Street had been playing for the last decade. Still, the Italians don't give a hoot or a holler about the finer merits of the films they were ripping off. They're in it solely for the lira, baby; hoping to put butts in seats and then sell the dubbed products off to as many territories as possible, often changing the title multiple times to try and maintain as many showtimes as they could. Just ask Joe Bob Briggs about The Grim Reaper (1980), and he'll simultaneously be telling you everything you need to know about Anthropophagus (1980).
Enter Mario Landi. Unlike Franklin, whose attention to formal execution and understanding of Hitchock's rules when it comes to building suspense elevate a good number of his works above their low budget brethren (this author is fond of referring to Road Games (1981) as "Big Rig Rear Window"), Landi seems likes he's operating off of a depravity checklist assigned to him by the producers and just sets the camera up well enough to capture all the requisite blood and cum. To be fair, it's arguable that notorious Eurosleaze producer Gabriele Crisanti is the true author of this erotic atrocity exhibition, as his resume reads more like a rap sheet of repeat offenses than it does a mere filmography.
Landi was one of many regular co-conspirators in Cristani's Rolodex, which also happened to include Andrea Bianchi, who not only mixed virginal lesbianism with demonic nunsploitation in Malabimba: The Malicious Whore (1979), but also incestuous titty-sucking with lethargic zombies in Burial Ground (1981). No prude himself, Landi had just completed Giallo In Venice (1979) for Cristani the year before - a softcore send up of the stalk and slash subcategory that splashed the screen with serum and semen in equal amounts. It's a movie whose reputation precedes it, and rightfully so, delivering a straight up overdose of taboo titillation.
Let's get something out of the way up front: Giallo In Venice is porn*. More accurately: porno-giallo, a low-wave variant detestably introduced into the already sleazy mystery collection with Enzo Milioni's The Sister of Ursula (1978), primarily interested in arousing instead of thrilling the viewer. Structured around a series of flashbacks, as an egg-chomping yacht rock detective in Chuck Taylors (Jeff Blynn, looking like Chest Rockwell's interpretation of Maurizio Merli) investigates the brutal stabbing deaths of coked up fuck kittens Fabio (Gianni Dei) and Flavia (Leonora Fani*), Venice leers at their violent sexual escapades, half-assedly offering a clue or red herring seemingly out of sheer obligation to resembling a straight narrative feature.
Hell, it takes forty minutes for the first murder scene to arrive, and even that doesn't occur until after the killer fingers his prostitute victim (Maria Mancini) in a junkyard before jamming a pair of scissors into her nether-regions. Those whose kinks include increasingly awkward acts of exhibitionism will be quite hornt up, as we witness Fabio subject Flavia to several strange organs, be it getting into a light three-way in a movie theater, or just giving the possibly underage delivery boy a handjob, all while he either participates or watches. It's a near literal parade of perversion, only stopping occasionally to graphically drop a body.
Thankfully, when the bloodletting does occur, it sprays the screen red, standing in for all the missing money shots Landi desperately wants to to insert (though, depending on which territory Giallo played upon initial release, there may have been hardcore snippets already spliced into the reels). Like the sex, the violence is just as uncomfortable, pushing the limits of bad taste to ugly new heights. By the time we reach the movie's gnarly conclusion, a shower will be necessary to wash your skin clean of Fabio's endless torrent of debauched sin.
If one were so inclined - or possessed the audacity of I Spit On Your Grave (1978) director Meir Zarchi - you could graft a pseudo-feminist reading onto the shock ending of Giallo in Venice. The resolution of the movie's central mystery - who killed sex predator Fabio and his waifish concubine Flavia? - reveals that it was actually the sex slave rising up. Tired of being robbed of whatever innocence remained inside, Flavia actually stabs Fabio to death before jumping into one of the ancient city's murky canals, drowning herself in a fit of rage. Is it a punishment for anyone in the audience who enjoyed watching Flavia be assaulted again and again? Eh, more than likely just hacky screenwriter Aldo Serio (Watch Me When I Kill [1977]) writing himself out of a corner once he hit his allotted page count.
Though it isn't in the title, Patrick Still Lives borrows from the storytelling structure of its whodunit cousins. Resembling something along the lines of Javier Aguirre's The Killer Is One of 13 (1973), a bunch of scumbags - including a stuffy politician (Franco Silva), his slutty wife (Carmen Russo), and a pair of well-endowed swingers (Mariangelo Giordano and Paolo Giusti) - are summoned to the Gothic estate of Doctor Herschel (Sacha Pitoëff) for reasons they don't quite understand. Are they being treated to a luxurious vacation on the shady stranger's dime? Or are they simply there to be punished for past sins?
Frankly, Patrick Still Lives never really bothers with answering either of these questions, as the secluded locale was probably just cheap on the production design department (not to mention easy to write into the script), acting as a creepy venue for these miscreants to strip off all their clothes before fucking, fighting, or offing one another. What is clear is that Dr. Herschel's up to no good. His son, Patrick (Giallo's pervert du jour, Dei), had a bottle spiked off his face in the opening scene and has been in a coma ever since, his mind powered by "batteries" (a trio of writhing, equally naked, young folks with wires hooked to their heads).
Upon sensing fresh meat in the castle's grinder, the invalid son begins psychically stalking the pretty girls. Much like his Australian counterpart, this sinewy invalid sex pest sets his third eye on his dad's stunningly gorgeous new assistant, Lydia (Andrea Belfiore), knocking off everyone around her in a supernatural take on And Then There Were None (1974). Does any of this make any sense? No. Does it matter? Absolutely fucking not.
Stylistically, Patrick Still Lives feels like a closer cousin to Bianchi's Malabimba than it does Landi's own Giallo In Venice. Shot by Cristani's go to cinematographer Franco Villa - who lensed the bulk of poliziotteschi master Fernando di Leo's best work, including Caliber 9 and The Italian Connection (both 1972) - there's a fast and cheap ruddiness to the movie's Gothic castle setting, followed by pops of garish neon greens, pinks and purples whenever we wander into Dr. Herschel's laboratory (usually chasing the doc's gorgeous, strip-teasing assistant). Everything's dusty or covered in a thin coat of grime, adding a damp Eurosleaze texture the viewer can practically smell inside a darkened theater while Patrick plays.
While many performers rotated in and out of Cristani's produtions, none were as a game for whatever madness was tossed their way quite like Mariangela Giordano (who, it may come as no surprise, was a longtime girlfriend of the producer's). Whether she was having her teet suckled by a quite literal man-baby in Burial Ground, engaging in bisexual congress while playing nurse to a sex demon in Malabimba and Satan's Baby Doll (1981), or getting her jay-jay jammed with the aforementioned poker in Patrick Still Lives, the buxom adult actress didn't seem to possess the word "no" in her vocabulary. Despite her often uncomfortably exposed work and brutally violent deaths, the worst complaint Mariangela had about working on these pictures** is that Cristani kept scheduling the shoots during the winter. The rest was nothing less than a full-swing party (pun definitely intended).
Like all great Italoschlock runs, there are some pretty killer tunes accompanying all the naked flesh and bright pink blood onscreen. Berto Pisano blends together a moody concoction of sub-Goblin prog, bubbly disco, ominous keys, and Brian Eno worthy blips and bloops into a sonic Greek chorus that accompanies numerous bodies being flayed in Cristani's films. The soundscape contained within Patrick Still Lives is no different, as a high-hat needle drop transforms a quiet lap pool into an inescapable death cauldron without a moment's notice. In true giallo fashion, it's murder you can dance to.
Speaking of violence: Patrick Still Lives contains some wildly inventive, if cheaply executed, kills. On top of boiled swinger and porno kebob, we also get a man hung by the neck via a hook, Hellraiser (1987) style, attack dog maulings, and other ludicrous psychic weaponry. Hilariously, every time someone is attacked, Patrick's eyes are superimposed on the screen, flying at you as if they're about to pop off the screen in 3D. Sure, Landi was certainly more engaged in staging the elaborate strip set pieces and accompanying masturbation shows, but the director also delivered a different sort of shudder for the remaining degenerates who weren't just there for the joy juice.
To bring it back to Kermit, cult cinema crate digging is all about patience. You know the good stuff is out there; it's just a matter of time before you finally lay eyes upon it. If the porno giallo rabbit hole Patrick Still Lives caused this author to fall down is any indication, Landi crafted a hot shot that gets it's hooks in and refuses to leave your psyche, well after the initial high has worn off. Suddenly, you need to know all about the peculiar dimension this alien transmission arrived from, hoping to decode it's new language so that it becomes part of your own filmic vernacular. And once you've exhausted this newly tapped well, it's back to playing the waiting game, staring at the sky and hoping another filthy comet flies past your line of sight, beckoning you to chase it toward whatever gnarly oblivion awaits.
*For those with cast iron stomachs, the jail-bait looking beauty's filmography is a real doozy, including Denis Heroux's Richard Speck fictionalization, Born For Hell (a/k/a Naked Massacre, 1976), and George Eastman's dog fucking opus, Bestialita (a/k/a Dog Lay Afternoon,1976).
** May she rest peacefully following her 2011 death.

A women's rights organization has given the B.C. Liberal government poor grades on gender equality.
Today (October 6), in a report card assessing the province's compliance with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, The West Coast Legal Education and Action Fund assigned the government the overall grade of a D.
The convention was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1979. Canada ratified the convention in 1981. The UN describes the document as an "international bill of rights for women".
Every four years, signatories to CEDAW must report to an international body of independent experts. The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women monitors states' compliance and implementation of the treaty.
Last year, the B.C. CEDAW Group, a coalition of women's organizations, produced a shadow report on the situation of women in B.C.
West Coast LEAF's report card notes that it focused on CEDAW obligations that fall within provincial jurisdiction.
(2) examining the failure to investigate the cases of missing and murdered Aboriginal women, and to address those failures.
The committee took the "unusual step" of asking Canada to report back on progress made in these areas in one year's time, according to West Coast LEAF's report card.
The report card charges that despite positive steps, "there has been little progress on improving social assistance for women".
It notes that, at 21 percent, B.C. continues to have the highest overall poverty rate in Canada, which includes disproportionately high numbers of women, children, and aboriginal people.
"With the economic crisis resulting in 47% more recipients of social assistance between September 2008 and May 2009, the government needs to work harder on ensuring equal access to sufficient assistance for women and marginalized people," West Coast LEAF's report states.

Physicists Say They've Finally Confirmed The Existence of a 'Four Neutron-No Proton' Particle
BEC CREW
Physicists have found the most convincing signs of a tetraneutron - a four neutron-no proton particle - to date, adding weight to the possibility that the hypothetical particle really does exist. According to theory, this highly elusive particle cluster is impossible, because of how unstable lone neutrons are, but scientists in Japan say they've spotted its signature during recent experiments.
While the results need to be replicated independently before we can truly say the fabled tetraneutron exists, if other teams can confirm its existence, we're going to have to make some serious changes to current understanding of nuclear forces. "It would be something of a sensation," nuclear theorist Peter Schuck from France's National Centre for Scientific Research, who wasn't involved in the discovery, told Science News.
Physicists have been searching for the tetraneutron for decades, and while this 1965 paper concluded that no evidence could be found and "the existence of tetraneutrons is most unlikely", four separate papers have since reported experimental observations of the particle.
Most recently, theoretical physicist Francisco-Miguel Marqués and his team at the Ganil accelerator in France used a new technique to observe the particle - by watching the disintegration of beryllium and lithium nuclei. In 2002, they were smashing beryllium-14 particles into carbon particles in an attempt to blow apart beryllium's cluster of four neutrons.
As Esther Inglis-Arkell explains over at Gizmodo, when they happened, they should have observed four little flashes, but instead, they got one big flash, signalling that these neutrons broke off in a cluster.
So why is the idea of four neutrons teaming up so impossible?
"Well, the Pauli exclusion principle specifies that particles in the same system cannot be in the same quantum state. As a consequence of this, even two neutrons shouldn't be able to stick together, let alone four," says Inglis-Arkell. "However, four neutrons smashing at high speed into a carbon atom, and then reaching a detector at exactly the same place and exactly the same time is nearly as impossible as the idea that a basic tenet of physics needs to be modified."
Marqués's team found similar evidence in 2004, but no one's been able to replicate their results, making true confirmation impossible… until now. A team from the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Science also worked with beryllium particles to produce what they're calling tetraneutron states.
They did this by firing a beam of helium nuclei (which have two protons and six neutrons) at liquid helium (which has two protons and two neutrons), and when the particles collided, four neutrons went missing. Their conspicuous absence lasted around 1 billionth of a trillionth of a second before reappearing as particle decay.
"Whenever a pair of alpha particles was detected from these second collisions, simple counting dictated that four neutrons must have been left behind - but were they bound to each other as a single particle, or had they simply flown off in separate directions as debris?" one of the team, Susumu Shimoura, said to Shern Ren Tee at Asian Scientist.
To confirm which was the more likely scenario, Shimoura and his team measured the energy given off by the particles in the reaction, and figured out that there wouldn't have been enough to propel each of the missing neutrons away independently. "This confirmed that the four neutrons left behind were indeed bound into a tetraneutron particle," Tee reports.
So what now? Separate teams of researchers are now needed to follow this team's methodology and come up with the same result and disprove any competing explanations for what they saw. If they can do that, theoretical physicists the world over are going to have to nut out more accurate guidelines for how we understand nuclear forces to behave.
And that's a really exciting thing. It's not every day that our fundamental understanding of the Universe has to be officially reestablished, and not only could we watch that happen, it could also lead to really important advances in our knowledge of how some of its most mysterious objects actually exist.
"Both very large atomic nuclei (where neutrons outnumber protons about three to two, on average) and neutron stars contain large clumps of neutrons, whose behaviour remains very poorly understood," says Shimoura.
The research has been published in Physical Review Letters.

Hey beauties! I had such a crazy week. Thursday I fell down the steps in my house (tripped over literally NOTHING). The fall resulted in my poor pinky toe being broken on my left foot. My whole life I have never broken a bone, until now! Walking in crutches & a boot is not my idea of fall fashion! What about all my new BOOTS!? UGH! At least it is still very warm here in the northeast, & I can still wear my sandals! I follow up with the orthopedist on Monday, but thankfully it is already much better!
NOW, on to more important things, like fall fashion!!!!!!!! Boots, sweaters, jackets, oh MY! I wanted to share some of my favorites that I have either bought, or in cart waiting to be bought as we speak. I fully believe I should treat myself due to my injury right? A little shopping pick-me-up? I am sure you agree!
Lets start with jackets & coats. If you know me, you know that I HATE WEARING JACKETS. I get yelled at repeatedly, every-single-year by friends & family for not wearing a coat. I just hate feeling bundled up. BUT, I do love a gorgeous coat. I am going to share some of my fall faves for jackets & coats!
Here are my camo jacket/coat choices! I am OBSESSED!
Now, as you know, leopard is IN IN IN right now! So I am sharing my top leopard print picks! So fun!
Lastly I am going to end with some cardigans! So fun & so many awesome colors & choices to choose from!
Have you finished shopping for your fall wardrobe yet?


The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers are both aiming to make a run at the NBA Finals in a couple of months. They are expected to be among the contenders in the Eastern Conference once the postseason begins, and will face off in an important head-to-head matchup this week.
The Celtics may be the slightly better team, but should still be the underdog as it must play this one on the road. These teams have been close to each other in the standings all year and right now they are set up to face each other in the first round of the playoffs.
This game is pivotal as it could have a big impact down the road in NBA odds.
This NBA basketball game between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers will be held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday, February 12th, 2019. The game will be nationally televised on TNT.
We'll have NBA basketball odds at BookMaker.eu available for every game of the 2019 NBA season.
The Celtics have a record of 35-20 on the season. They have won seven of their past 10 games as they are aiming to track down some teams ahead of them in the East. Boston is 13-13 on the road this season and would love to pull the upset.
The 76ers also have a mark of 35-20 on the year. Philadelphia has been very good at home on the year with a 22-6 so has to feel good about its chance here. However, the Celtics have a lot of talent so the 76ers still need to play well to live up to expectations.
Celtics star guard Kyrie Irving sprained his knee in the second quarter last time out against the Clippers and didn't return to the game. He has been listed as day-to-day after further testing and his availability for this matchup against the 76ers certainly seems to be in doubt.
Irving's absence was felt immediately against Los Angeles. The Celtics led by 28 points but managed to blow it in a 123-112 loss. Boston has a very deep team with good balance but Irving is the unquestioned leader and the team will miss his scoring punch if he cannot go.
Tobias Harris -- The 76ers traded for the Los Angeles standout before the trading deadline. He was averaging more than 20 points per game with the Clippers and had 14 points and eight rebounds in his Philly debut against the Nuggets.
Harris could be the piece Philadelphia needed to truly transform into a contender. The team has Joel Embiid leading the way, while Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons are also stars. J.J. Reddick is an ace outside shooter, and Harris really rounds out an elite and scary starting lineup.
He is still developing chemistry with the others, but there is no doubt Harris is an upgrade at the forward position.
If Irving can't play in this game, that will be a big blow to Boston's chances of pulling out the victory. If he manages to see the court this could be a really good game. Harris beefs up the 76ers' lineup but the Celtics also have talent dotting their entire roster.
The home court will make the difference in this one. The 76ers are the choice to pick up a critical win to surpass the Celtics in the standings. Boston could be the right choice to cover as this game could come down to the wire in NBA odds.
This one could be more of a defensive affair than expected, as both teams will be focusing hard and aiming for a win in a playoff type atmosphere. The "under" is a good choice on the scoring total in this affair.


This post is the ninth installment in our series: "Adoption Playbooks: "Providing a deployment framework to maximize results." Check back each week for the latest blog post authored by a member of our Customer Success Architect (CSA) team where we will share deployment best practices from real-world implementation experiences in the field. We hope you will find these blog posts and the accompanying white papers insightful.
Home builders are an essential part of the US economy. No matter if it's a large company or an individual builder, this industry thrives off of positive customer experiences. Naturally, they all search for tools and processes that make their operations more efficient while offering the absolute best customer experience.
However, the 2008 recession packed a punch and led to actions to reduce their costs internally to stay afloat. Painfully, as many of us remember, that resulted in reductions in the workforce. While the economy regained health, the home building industry did not bounce back with the same spring: jobs are returning but these companies are not back to the same number of employees.
How to fix this imbalance in workforce volume?
Thus, they enter the realm of the fully end-to-end digital transaction enabled by eSignature.
Principal in their practice, home builders acquire and develop land, build and foster communities. On a financial note, some companies even offer financing while some offer title and insurance services, thus providing a full set of services to home buyers.
All of these processes have traditionally been very paper-intensive.
Forms and other documents are printed, mailed, signed, mailed again, scanned into the content management system (if they have one..) and then shredded.
Elapsed time for a properly completed set of forms can be days or weeks and then if all the right signatures are not obtained, the process can easily begin again with a doubling or tripling of the time needed to receive a "clean" set of forms, not to mention that costs are also doubling or tripling when multiple sets of forms need to be sent out.
In an increasingly fast paced market, the need for signed documents only gets faster. Signatures are here to stay, but not the paper. Home builders are turning to digital tools, like Digital Transaction Management (DTM), to get the signatures they need and replace the movement of paper with the transmission of secure and encrypted documents signed on a cloud-based web platform or a mobile device. If a customer calls a service hotline for a transaction, the call center rep can get a signature before the call ends. Much "greener" process, no lost mail and much happier customers.
If you are a manager at a home building company looking to improve your processes, reduce paper used, improve the quality of your services and create an excellent customer experience, we're here to get you started. Check out our guide and begin your paperless initiative today!
I've noticed that having things written on paper can get lost or damaged. Whereas if they were on a digital device, it would be easy to search for a specific blueprint of a home or pull up an invoice. With more business going digital, it makes sense for home builders to do the same. However, I don't think it would be practical to have the large blueprints on a tiny phone screen. Other documents like invoices and contracts would be sensible to put on a tablet of some sort.
Thank you for sharing this information. It is just great how technology can make a big difference to ordinary things. Going digital just makes information very handy and fast to disseminate which really goes well with our fast paced world. There are still things in a business though that would be best done old school or have them both. Great blog.
That's great information on technology for home builders. I hope a lot of people get to see this. Building companies need to understand these fundamentals.

Jim DiCarlo
Title: Deep network models of the deep network mechanisms of (part of) human visual intelligence
The human species is embarked on a bold scientific quest — to understand the mechanisms of human intelligence in engineering terms. Recent progress in multiple subfields of brain research suggests that key next steps in this quest will result from building real-world capable, systems-level network models that aim to abstract, emulate and explain the mechanisms underlying natural intelligent behavior. Over the past decade, neuroscience, cognitive science and computer science converged to create specific, image-computable, deep neural network models intended to appropriately abstract, emulate and explain the mechanisms of primate core visual object and face recognition. Based on a large body of primate neurophysiological and behavioral data, some of these network models are currently the leading (i.e. most accurate) scientific theories of the internal mechanisms of the primate ventral visual stream and how those mechanisms support the ability of humans and other primates to rapidly and accurately infer latent world content (e.g. object and face identity, position, pose, etc.) from the set of pixels in most natural images. While still far from complete, these leading scientific models already have many uses in brain science and beyond. In this talk, I will highlight one particular use: the design of patterns of light energy on the retina (i.e. new images) that neuroscientists can use to precisely modulate neuronal activity deep in the brain. Our most recent experimental work suggests that, when targeted in this new way, the responses of individual high-level primate neurons are exquisitely sensitive to barely perceptible image modifications. While surprising to many neuroscientists — ourselves included — this result is in line with the predictions of the current leading scientific models (above), it offers guidance to contemporary computer vision research, and it suggests a currently untapped non-pharmacological avenue to approach clinical interventions.
Jim DiCarlo is a Professor of Systems and Computational Neuroscience, and Director of the MIT Quest for Intelligence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He trained in engineering, medicine, systems neurophysiology, and computing at Northwestern (BSE), Johns Hopkins (MD/Ph.D.), and Baylor College of Medicine (Postdoc). His overall research goal is to discover and artificially emulate the brain mechanisms that underlie human visual intelligence. He has been awarded the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (2002), the Pew Scholar Award in Biomedical Sciences (2002-2006), and the McKnight Scholar Award in Neuroscience (2006-2009). Over the past 20 years, using the non-human primate animal model, DiCarlo and his collaborators have helped developed our contemporary, engineering-level understanding of the neural mechanisms that underlie visual information processing in the ventral stream (a deep stack of cortical neural processing layers) and how that processing supports core cognitive abilities such as object and face recognition. His group's most recent and ongoing work is in: building and testing new computational models that are the current leading scientific hypotheses of the neural mechanisms operating along the ventral stream, utilizing those models to non-invasively modulate neural activity patterns deep in the brain, testing those models using direct neural perturbations (e.g. optogenetics, chemogenetics), and exploring how the mechanisms contained in those models might develop from unsupervised biological visual experience. Based on that work and other results in the field, his group is seeking an engineering level understanding of the neural mechanisms of human visual processing - from time-varying images on the eyes to multi-level patterns of neuronal activity, to perceptual reports about the world. They aim to use this understanding to guide the development of more robust artificial vision systems (Al"), to reveal new ways to beneficially modulate brain activity via patterns of light striking the eyes, to expose new methods of accelerating visual learning, to provide a basis for new neural prosthetics (brain-machine interfaces) to restore lost senses, and to provide a scientific foundation to understand how sensory processing is altered in conditions such as agnosia, autism, and dyslexia.
