Q: Query with multiple LIKE with AND condition using REGEXP I want to search the same field but in multiple values using REGEXP.
Is it possible?
SELECT
  *
FROM
  posts
WHERE keyword LIKE '%ipad%'
  AND keyword LIKE '%iphone%'
  AND keyword LIKE '%nokia%' ;

this query is use for OR , i want to convert it to AND condition
SELECT * FROM posts WHERE keyword REGEXP 'ipad|iphone|nokia';

A: Can your keyword field contain multiple values (devices)? Like ipad;iphone;nokia?
If so, this is bad practice. It violates First Normal Form, and it's a symptom of bad table design. Still, the way you did it with multiple LIKE and AND clauses should work.
Converting this to REGEXP syntax is not easy in MySQL, and definitely not worth the trouble. See this post for more details.


However, the insurance type that has gained most traction is specialty insurance, which is a high-risk, high-return market characterized by underwriting profitability. This insurance is purchased to provide protection for items that are special or unique and are not covered under the standard insurance types due to their unusual characteristics such as diamond necklace, exotic insurance, title insurance, body part insurance, renters insurance, and others.
The growth of the specialty insurance market is driven by volatile property & casualty market and weakening profitability for specialty carriers in case of a misfortune. However, lack of awareness and guidance is a major factor that restrains people from opting for specialty insurance. Market players are adopting innovative marketing strategies to educate the populace about the benefits and advantages offered by these insurance policies, which is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market.
The global specialty market is segmented based on type of risk, type of insurers, and geography. On the basis of type of risk, the market is divided into personal risk, commercial risk, and mix risk.

Young Sherlock Holmes
Anthony Higgins as Rathe
Freddie Jones as Cragwitch
Sophie Ward as Elizabeth
Nicholas Rowe as Holmes
Action, Adventure, Crime, Drama, Family, Mystery, Thriller
It really does make sense, once you've overcome the novelty of the idea, that Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson originally met while at school. Their friendship is the sort of immature bond that can best be forged between adolescents, based on Watson's hero-worship and Holmes' need for an admiring audience. There always has been something of the eternal teenager about Holmes and Watson, especially in their love of gadgets and mysteries and technical intricacies, and their complete bafflement when faced with such complex subjects as human nature or women.
"Young Sherlock Holmes" suggests that Holmes and Watson met in their middle teens, at an English public school, and that Holmes solved his first case at about the same time. This theory involves a rewriting of their historic first meeting, but the movie suggests that it set a pattern for many more meetings to come: Watson blunders into the orbit of the supercilious Holmes, who casually inspects him and uses a few elementary clues to tell him everything about himself.
The school they attend is one of those havens of eccentricity that have been celebrated in English fiction since time immemorial. It is run by Rathe (Anthony Higgins), a bright young man, but it is also inhabited by old professor Waxflatter (Nigel Stock), a retired don who hopes to invent the first airplane and who regularly launches unsuccessful flights from the tops of school buildings.
Holmes and Watson look, as schoolboys, like younger versions of the men they would someday become. Holmes (Nicholas Rowe) is tall, slender and taciturn, and Watson (Alan Cox) is short and round and nearsighted. Watson is in every sense the "new boy," always available to run an errand for the adored Holmes, to provide a cheering section, and to chronicle the great man's adventures.
The plot of "Young Sherlock Holmes" seems constructed out of odds and ends of several stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. For unknown reasons, several men with no apparent connection to one another die under mysterious circumstances. To Watson's amazement, Holmes finds the missing connection, determines that they have died while hallucinating, identifies the hallucinatory drug and its means of attack, and arrives at a likely suspect.
If these story elements seem typical of Conan Doyle, there is also a lot in this movie that can be traced directly to the work of Steven Spielberg, the executive producer. The teenage heroes, for example, are not only inspired by Holmes and Watson, but are cousins of the young characters in "The Goonies." The fascination with lighter-than-air flight leads to a closing scene that reminded me of "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial." And the villain's secret temple, with its ritual of human sacrifice, was not unlike scenes in both the Indiana Jones movies.
It also doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes to identify the one element of "Young Sherlock Holmes" that definitely doesn't fit; that's the character of Elizabeth, a fetching young girl played by Sophie Ward. She is the granddaughter of the mad inventor, and also lives at the school, and we are asked to believe that young Holmes has a schoolboy crush on her. I personally do not believe that Sherlock Holmes, the great investigator, ever even began to penetrate the mystery of women, but the movie just barely gets away with the character of Elizabeth by having Holmes swear there never will be another woman for him, for the rest of his life.
The elaborate special effects also seem a little out of place in a Sherlock Holmes movie, although I'm willing to forgive them because they were fun. The traditional world of Holmes (in the movies, anyway) has been limited to fogbound streets, speeding carriages, smoky sitting rooms and the homes and laboratories of suspects. In this film, we get a series of hallucinations that are represented by fancy special effects, and then there's the pseudo-Egyptian temple of doom at the end. The effects were supplied by Industrial Light & Magic, the George Lucas brain trust, and the best one is a computer-animated stained glass window that fights a duel with Holmes.
I liked the effect, but I would have liked it more if, at the end of the movie, Holmes had drawn Watson aside, and, using a few elementary observations on the apparent movement of the stained glass, had deduced the eventual invention of computers.

Audi RS Q5 will be powered by the 2.9-liter bi-turbo V6 from RS 5 Coupe
Audi's intention to bring out the Renn Sport Racing version of the Q5 was made clear when it unveiled the Audi SQ5 at the 2017 Detroit Motor Show early this year. Amazingly, the new Audi RS Q5 is expected to show off its high-performance nature by having under its elegantly sporty bonnet a powerful engine that is already fitted in the new Audi RS 5 Coupe.
Following the reveal of the SQ5 in January 2017, it was widely expected that Audi would take the wraps off the new RS Q5 at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show in March. To the dismay of many Audi fans and enthusiasts, that unveiling didn't happen, and the guessing game for the new Audi RS Q5 continues. Of course, one of the matters being debated is the core of the any vehicle – the engine.
As revealed, the Audi SQ5 is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 TFSI aluminum engine that delivers 260 kW (354 hp) of max output and 500 Nm (368.8 lb.-ft.) of peak torque available between 1,370 rp and 4,500 rpm. This allows the SQ5 to sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 5.4 seconds on the way to reaching an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph).

2017 Euro NCAP crash tests: Toyota C-HR, Audi Q5 and Land Rover Discovery SUVs earn five stars
We all want to know how safe our vehicles are on the road. Of course, carmakers do brag about the safety levels of their offerings, but it's really up to unbiased assessment agencies to tell us the real deal. In Europe, the safety levels of new cars are tested by European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). In fact, Euro NCAP just completed its latest round of safety tests, and the results were quite mixed.
For the latest round of testing, six vehicles underwent Euro NCAP's stringent process: Audi Q5, Citroen C3, Fiat 500, Ford Ka+, Land Rover Discovery and Toyota C-HR. The results of the tests should make the people at Audi, Land Rover and Toyota leap for joy while leave those at Fiat and Ford scratching their heads. Euro NCAP's overall safety rating is based on assessment in four important areas: Adult protection; Child protection; Pedestrian protection; and Safety Assist technologies. Vehicles are rated overall from one to five stars. The more stars a vehicle has, the safer it is.
According to Euro-NCAP, both the new Audi Q5 luxury SUV and Toyota C-HR subcompact crossover were able to earn five-star ratings from the assessment program, thanks to their good all-round performance. A five-star rating means these vehicles offer overall good performance in crash protection and are well-equipped with robust crash avoidance technology. In particular, the Toyota C-HR scored 95 percent for Adult protection; 77 percent for Child protection; 76 percent for Pedestrian protection; and 78 percent for Safety Assist technologies. The new Audi Q5, meanwhile, earned 93 percent for Adult protection; 86 percent for Child protection; 73 percent for Pedestrian protection; and 58 percent for Safety Assist technologies.

Audi to launch RS Q5 at 2017 Geneva Motor Show
In a move toward building more SUVs and perhaps more projects in the future, Audi is about to introduce a brand new RS model this coming March. And guess what? The latest Audi to be wearing the Renn Sport Racing badge is none other than the Audi Q5. With that being said, the Audi RS Q5 will be the first in the model range to have the performance brand's profile aside from of course, the existing Audi RS Q3.
With only a few weeks left before the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, Audi Sport's Stephan Winkelmann has finally confirmed they are indeed showcasing 450 horsepower Audi RS Q5 at the event. In a statement, the former Lamborghini CEO mentioned about the significance of the upcoming motor show in Geneva and how the RS will be setting a new era for their B-segment.
Although the Audi RS Q5 will be using the SQ5 platform, the RS portfolio will definitely enhance its performance. Chances are great that it will be using an improved version of the SQ5's current 3.0 liter V6 petrol engine. If not, then it could also make use of the 2.9-liter V6 engine from Porsche. Speculations are quite strong that its engine will be a joint development between Porsche and Audi. Either way, the RS Q5 is expected to accelerate from 0-62mph under five seconds. The SQ5, as we know, normally runs from 0-62 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds.

2017 Audi Q5 shows its new design at Paris Motor Show
As the year 2017 rolls in, Audi is targeting to have another successful model: the second generation Audi Q5. The SUV will mix the sportiness you see in an Audi saloon with flexible interiors and a varied character. The new Audi Q5 was unveiled at the 2016 Paris Motor Show and will set new standards in the SUV market in terms of driver assistance systems, efficiency and connectivity.
AUDI AG Chairman of the Board of Management Rupert Stadler says that because the first Q5 was the the best selling SUV for its segment for a number of years, designing the next generation Q5 presented a challenge that was both difficult and exciting.
Stadler explains that with the new Q5, the company is raising the bar and includes several innovations such as the quattro drive system that features ultra technology, the air suspension that has damper control, a new lineup of assistance and infotainment systems, and top-of-the-line engines.

Audi boosts output due to strong demand on A3, Q5 and A6, A7 and R8 models
Audi has a dynamic start this year thanks to strong demand on models such as the A3, Q5 and A6, A7 and R8. In order to maintain the same path, the German manufacturer will boost output of its best-sellers and as a result it added 33 shifts at its German plants in January and February. In February alone, the German company added ten special shifts in Ingolstadt and three in Neckarsulm.
Meanwhile eight additional shifts are planned in Ingolstadt and two more in Neckarsulm this month. Board of Management Member for Production Dr. Frank Dreves: "Our Audi models are very popular all over the world; our order books are full. This makes us confident that we will grow again this year as well. For the coming months, we anticipate ongoing good utilization of capacity and additional shifts at our two domestic plants in Germany."
"The Works Council approved the special shifts that the management applied for in the first few weeks of the year in order to make our manufacturing as economic as possible. The order situation is excellent and the additional shifts demonstrate the high flexibility of our employees. The workforce is thus making a significant contribution to the competitiveness of the production sites in Germany within the Group's international production network," stated the Chairman of Audi's General Works Council, Peter Mosch.

Macan will not be an Audi Q5 with a Porsche badge, R&D chief says
According to the latest reports from Autocar, it appears that the new Porsche Macan baby SUV will be a completely new car and not just a redesigned Audi Q5. These words came from Porsche's R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz who also confirmed that the new crossover will make its world debut next year at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Moreover, Hatz also added that despite the fact that it is based on the Audi Q5, the German manufacturer modified every little thing on the Macan. So, everything is new: the engines, transmissions as well as the suspension. We do know that the Porsche Macan will use a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine delivering more than 370 hp.
This engine is based on the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter engine found on the bigger Cayenne but also on the Panamera and capable to deliver 300 hp. Hatz also added that Audi should have no fears that the Macan will steal its customers as the new crossover from Porsche wants to attract different people. What's more interesting is that the Macan will be the first modern-day Porsche that will use four-cylinder engines. Still, these engines will not be available when the car will be launched.

Audi Q5 TDI to join U.S. lineup in 2014
Audi's SUV lineup available in the U.S. will be getting a Q5 TDI, which features a 3.0-liter V6 diesel powerplant with 245-hp and 428 lb-ft of torque. The current Audi Q5 is offered with three engine choices. The first is a 2.0-liter turbo-four that has an output of 211-hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Then there's a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 (272-hp, 295 lb-ft of torque).
The third is a hybrid 2.0-liter turbo-four with a 44-hp electric motor that offers a combined output of 208-hp. The V6 diesel engine is the same powerplant used in the European SQ5 TDI model however, it would use a detuned version as the European-spec engine delivers 313-hp and 479 lb-ft of torque.
Audi claims that the diesel Q5 accelerate to 60-mph in less than 6.5 seconds. According to the European cycle, it can return about 37-mpg. EPA figures would be lower but we won't know the exact figure until the model is about to arrive at showrooms in the summer.

Audi unveils Q5 Hybrid Fuel Cell (HFC) at Michelin Challenge Bibendum
At the Michelin Challenge Bibendum on May 18 to 22, Audi had put its experimental Q5 Hybrid Fuel Cell (HFC) on display. This event, which took place at old Berlin airport (Tempelhof), aimed to showcase sustainable mobility technologies.
Through the Q5 HFC, Audi studies whether combining hydrogen fuel cell technology with a hybrid drivetrain will lead to greater range and efficiency over a standard hydrogen-power car (which develops electricity for a vehicle to run).
Two high-pressure cylinders are featured on the Q5 HFC. The hydrogen in these cylinders is stored at a pressure rate of 700 bar (10,153 psi). The fuel cell is composed of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) and produces 98 kW (133 PS / 131 bhp).

Audi will present new Q3 SUV, Q5 hybrid, A3 Sedan Concept at 2011 Geneva Auto Show
Audi has reportedly presented to its U.S. dealers the three new cars that will be appearing at the Geneva Motor Show, according to sources. These are a new Q3 SUV in bright orange, a Q5 Hybrid, and an A3 sedan concept that's a preview of the next-generation A3 model. Fans are most excited about the A3 sedan, a model meant for the U.S. market where small sedan body styles are preferred over hatchbacks.

Report: Audi will not produce RS versions of the Q5 and Q7
Although we'd like to see the RS versions of the Audi Q5 and Q7, it appears that the German manufacturer doesn't intend to create these models in order to compete with cars such as the Bmw X5 & X6 M or the Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. These words came from Stephan Reil, chief of Audi's division known as quattro GmbH.
This means that cars such as the Audi Q5 Custom Concept, which previews the RS version of the Q5 crossover will not be produced.
For those who don't know, the Q5 Custom Concept made its debut last year, at the Wörthersee Tour 2009 and was powered by a 3.0-liter TFSI V6 engine (found also on the Audi S4) delivering an impressive 408 hp. The car could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.4 seconds while the top speed was electronically limited to 250 km/h or 155 mph.

2011 Audi Q5 Hybrid coming to the 2010 LA Auto Show
According to the latest reports, it appears that the 2011 Audi Q5 Hybrid will finally make its debut in November, at the 2010 LA Auto Show. Still, there are no details regarding the technical part of this car, but some sources say that the Q5 Hybrid will receive a 2.0-liter TFSI petrol engine delivering 2011 hp but also an electric motor delivering 45 hp, which means that the Q5 Hybrid will deliver a total output of 256 hp.
This means that the car will use the same technology found on the Audi A8 Hybrid Concept, unveiled back in March at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. According to Audi, the A8 Hybrid delivers the same power as a V6 engine, but with a fuel economy like a modest four-cylinder unit.
The A8 Hybrid Concept can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 7.6 seconds and has a top speed electronically limited at 235 km/h (146.02 mph).

Audi Q5 gets the highest safety ratings from both the IIHS and NHTSA
Since the safety of cars is one of the prime considerations among families, carmakers are competing to get the highest safety ratings from both the IIHS and NHTSA. This is the reason why luxury vehicles are either at the top or near the top of the safety list.
This is true with the new 2009 Audi Q5 which comes with most of the safety elements currently offered on the market, causing it to top both the IIHS and NHTSA safety tests. Audi's concern for both motorists and their passengers are reflected on the superb ratings of the Audi Q5.
IIHS rigid testing requires top marks for side, front and rear impact tests, including standard stability control for a vehicle to get the honor of the Top Safety Pick, as the Q5 has managed to do.

2009 Audi Q5 recalled due to trim covers problem
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the safety recall of about 6,000 model year 2009 Audi Q5 units, which have been found to be at risk of its trim covers getting loose once the head airbag is deployed.
The NHTSA's official website states that a defective cover piece mounted on the A-pillar can detach if the head airbag is deployed and hit the front seat occupants of the vehicle. It's expected that Audi will inspect the faulty parts free of charge and replace them if necessary.
This news is surprising since the Audi Q5 received a top NHTSA safety pick earlier this year after scoring five-star for the safety of both the driver and the passenger in NHTSA's frontal crash tests.

First came the news, now comes the silliness.
Some people have suggested that Prince William signed Princess Charlotte's birth certificate with the word 'Willy'.
There are a few clues as to why: We're pretty sure he just wouldn't.
Looking back at previous documents/cards/books that Prince William has signed, it's how he's always written it.
We're still pretty sure he just wouldn't.
can we talk about how prince william's signature is the word 'willy' ?!
His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Phillip Louis Duke of Cambridge, Prince of the United Kingdom, has such a simple signature, "Willy"


Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has claimed the current Manchester United squad could excite for years.
Solskjaer has transformed this current United side into one of the best in the Premier League and continued his great start to life as Red Devils boss by picking up his tenth win in eleven matches, with a draw the only blemish on his record.
Two goals from Paul Pogba and one from Anthony Martial gave United a 3-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, and moved the Red Devils back into the top four spot, which many cannot believe considering they were so far behind under Jose Mourinho.
Now Solskjaer insists the current crop of players could continue for the next five or more years, given their age.
He told Sky Sports: "I've always looked further ahead. I've followed United since I signed for them as a player. Of course I look at the squad, players, who can produce and perform now, next year and in two years?
"Even here you've got players who can perform for five, six, seven, eight, nine years because it's such a young squad, an exciting squad.
Meanwhile, United legend Gary Nevile compared Martial to Cristiano Ronaldo after another great performance.
The Frenchman has really come alive under the Guidance of Solskjaer and is looking every bit the player which United paid £50 million for all those years ago, despite the fact that Mourinho had no faith in the winger.
And after another fine performance was capped off with a solo goal, in which Martial skipped past two challenges, sped into the penalty area and curled a precise finish beyond Sergio Rico, Neville has compared the Frenchman to the great Ronaldo.
'Magic from Martial!' said Neville on the Metro website.
'He's been a threat in the first 20 minutes like you wouldn't believe.

El castell de la Roca està situat al municipi de la Roca del Vallès (Vallès Oriental), al cim d'un turó des d'on domina la vall del riu Mogent i el pas de l'antiga via de tradició romana que travessava el Vallès. L'edifici està declarat bé cultural d'interès nacional.

Història
Les primeres referències que tenim sobre la Roca són del  (932) però el castell no és documentat fins al s. XI quan n'era propietari Arnau Mir (1023). Posteriorment passà a Guillem de Muntanyola a qui succeïren els seus fill Renard i Bernard Guillem, ardiaca, els quals tingueren el castell com a feudataris de Berenguer Ramon de Montcada (1084). El tenien per meitat i en disposaven mig any cadascun. El  la propietat passà per casament al llinatge dels Bell-lloc. Guilleuma de Bell-lloc el cedí al seu espòs amb la condició que el vengués i destinés els guanys a sufragis per la seva ànima, les ànimes dels pares i la del mateix espòs, Guillem de Montclús. El 1283 pertanyia a Ramon de Cabrera qui el 1287 el vengué a Pere Marquès, notari Reial.

Durant el s. XIV veiem moviments successius de la propietat de la fortalesa entre monarquia i noblesa. El 1336, Francesc Marquès presta homenatge al rei pel castell de la Roca. Uns anys més tard, Marquès compra la jurisdicció omnímoda al rei i poc després, compra al rei Pere III el mer i mixt imperi i les jurisdiccions alta, baixa i criminal. Segons el fogatge de l'època, s'hi comptaven 205 focs. El 1374, els vassalls aconsegueixen incorporar-se de nou a la corona; vuit anys més tard, el rei torna a vendre la jurisdicció a Francesc Marquès que, com que no paga al rei les anualitats que l'hi devia, la perd a favor de Pere Rovira (1392).

Des de 1405 pertanyia a Ramon de Torrelles i de Blanes, el qual va retre homenatge al rei Martí l'Humà com a feudatari seu pel castell de la Roca. La propietat del castell romangué a mans de la família Torrelles fins al començament del s. XVIII que passà a la comunitat de preveres de Santa Maria del Mar de Barcelona. Després de diversos propietaris, el 1949 l'adquirí Antoni Rivière i Manén que el 1952, restaurà el castell que es trobava en estat ruïnós.

Arquitectura
Edifici de planta trapezoïdal. No conservava el mur de la banda de migdia que es va aixecar en la reconstrucció. Torre cilíndrica oberta pel darrere, feta d'obra i de filades de maó, aquesta formava part d'un edifici més antic. A ponent hi ha la torre de l'homenatge de planta rectangular, formant un talús molt inclinat, té un pis més d'alçada. En aquesta zona es troba el nucli residencial, amb una gran estança amb finestres coronelles, el seu mur està coronat per merlets. A la muralla de llevant el parament forma una sortida de dos cares que fan angle el "rediente" que trenca la línia del mur. Les sales estan decorades per grans finestrals on hi ha el blasó dels Torrelles esculpit.

Q: Fatal error: Class 'Slim\Views' not found in ...vendor\slim\views\Twig.php I'm building a simple website in PHP with Slim Framework and Twig template engine.
I've installed Slim and Twig with Composer in the Command Line.
This is my index.php
<?php

It works without the Twig framework. So I guess the trouble is on loading the Twig. I've tried different variations of this line:
'view' => new Slim\Views\Twig()
But what confuses me is, that the error message is referring to line 46 in the Twig.php - which is in the core of slim.
I've tried reinstalling Twig and Slim several times.
Any suggestions what is wrong?
Much appreciated!

PREMIERING NOW: Josh Stirling: Dissecting Excess Death Data and How Insurance Industry's Trillions Could Be Deployed to Help the Vaccine-Injured
"The more doses on average you have in a region within the United States, the bigger increase in mortality that region has had in 2022 when compared to 2021," said Josh Stirling, an insurance research analyst who has been dissecting alarming trends in life insurance, mortality and disability data over the past couple of years.
Looking at CDC data, Stirling ranked the number of doses administered across regions in the U.S. and compared that to the increase or decrease in mortality in 2022 compared to 2021. He said what he found was a clear regression line to the right. In other words, more doses correlated to greater increases in mortality….

Rain God Is In Malacca?
2 days ago I was shocked to read The Star newspaper front page claiming that the dry spell patronizing us will stay put for another 1 month, at least. Yes, the feared El Nino will be lingering around us till the end of April of worse still-May. A lot of dams, rivers, canals and even drains are drying up in Malaysia and I am worried Malacca will be suffering the same fate too. Just the other day, we were totally cut off from our water supply for about 1 day due to unknown reason. Hopefully it was because of maintenance and not about water shortage.
Yay! Rain, rain come and stay!

NPR's Susan Stamberg stops for a one-night appearance in El Paso
Catherine Ramirez
Catherine Ramirez, Reporter
Nationally renowned broadcast journalist Susan Stamberg spoke for a one-night-only speaking engagement on Nov. 8, at Temple Mount Sinai about her series and research of the "Jews of Shanghai."
Stamberg began the event by thanking her hosts for showing her El Paso and even cracked a few jokes about her experience seeing thousands of military troops confronting evil immigrants on the border.
"I'm making all this up—you're not supposed to lie in a temple. Forgive me," Stamberg said while looking up to the ceiling. "Where ever she (God) is."
Stamberg then began addressing the current immigration issues and connecting the struggle of southern immigrants to Jews, and their constant fight as immigrants through history.
"Our faith demands compassion for strangers—as we are experienced of being travelers from another land, is stapled into our DNA as Jews," Stamberg said. "We have to help, as you are doing to the people that are migrating."
Stamberg congratulated and encouraged the crowd to continue their work to support immigrants and began the topic of the "Jews in Shanghai" with background information about the subject.
"Frist as we say in radio, Shanghai," Stamberg began.
The story of the Jews of Shanghai, China began during World War II when 23,000 Central European Jews fled Hitler and the Nazi party, and settled in Shanghai when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.
Stamberg's series "Jews in Shanghai" is a Holocaust story created and told by Stamberg based off of around 60 interviews with Shanghai Jews and family members of them from all over the U.S.
To an old friend from junior high school to Stamberg's NPR producer's former high school math teacher, Shanghai Jews were constant in Stamberg's life and widespread in the U.S.
"It turns out you found them everywhere," Stamberg said.
Stamberg then recited the story she told on NPR many years ago about the thousands of Jews trapped in Shanghai ghettos for nearly 10 years and their remarkable ability to remain hopeful.
"Many of the elderly died almost immediately from Asian diseases, others grew thin and ate at soup kitchens—some never got out of this slum where they had been sent to settle, others were able to rent apartments outside of that district," Stamberg said. "But very gradually, out of the rubble, they began to build a little Europe there."
Following her talk, Stamberg received a few questions and compliments from audience members during a dessert reception to end the evening.
Stamberg is a legend in the world of broadcasting as the first woman to anchor a national nightly news program and has won every major award in broadcasting—even being inducted to the Broadcasting Hall of Fame and the Radio Hall of Fame.
"It's an amazing opportunity to listen to someone like her, I feel a little star struck," said Jamie Flores executive director of the El Paso Holocaust Museum.
Known as an NPR "founding mother" Stamberg spent 14 years as a co-host on NPR's newsmagazine All Things Considered, then spent three years hosting Weekend Edition/Sunday.
Now she serves as a guest host on All Things Considered and Weekend Edition/Saturday while also reporting on culture issues for a variety of NPR programs at the age of 80-years young.

Saudi Arabia Orders 300 Chinese Combat UAVs
22.03.2017 KSA
Saudi Arabia has signed a contract for the acquisition of 300 of the newest Chinese strike-capable reconnaissance unmanned aerial long-haul vehicles Wing Loong II (also known as Pterodactyl II).
China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported on 28 February that the deal represented the "biggest overseas purchase order in the history of Chinese [UAV] foreign military sales". But the identity of the customer and the size and value of the contract were not disclosed.
The export order was revealed on the same day that the Wing Loong II completed its maiden flight.
The new Wing Loong II is a long-endurance strike-capable reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by Chengdu Aircraft Design & Research Institute (CADI), a division of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).
CAIG formally unveiled the Wing-Loong II during Air Show China in November 2016. The Wing Loong II has a payload of 400 kg, which can be used for armaments and/or ISR equipment. The Wing-Loong II can reach a top speed of 370 km/h and service ceiling of 9,000 m. It has an endurance of 32 hours.
While observers have noted that the Wing-Loong II bore a strong resemblance to the MQ-9 Reaper, the Wing Loong II is a smaller and lighter platform than the Reaper.

When I work with people in therapy I notice that often, just before they are about to make a big breakthrough – a significant leap to another level – they often have to come face to face with some of the worst things about themselves that are standing in the way. If they can confront and, as it were, embrace or integrate their dark side, then they will move to the next level and if not, they won't. This process, however, is never easy. It is always painful when one has an image about oneself as being a kind, helpful person only to discover one has a shadow side living inside one that is exactly the opposite! Well, the same thing holds true of the evolution of the larger human collective – humanity as a whole also has a dark side – and so does America and I believe that, as a nation, America is poised on the threshold of making such a leap.
If this is the case, then Trump is absolutely essential to this process and he is offering an enormous gift to the American people generally and to the Republican party specifically. How so? What he is doing is holding up a mirror reflecting everything that is worst about this party – and indeed, worst about ourselves – everything which is low and disgusting and conspiratorial and hatred-filled and which prevents this party moving forward and therefore which badly needs confronting. In an article in today's New York Times, Paul Krugman wrote: 'Assuming that Trump loses, many Republicans will try to pretend that he was a complete outlier, unrepresentative of the party. But he isn't…. and his vices are, dare we say, very much in line with his party's recent tradition…He is a pure distillation of his party's modern essence.' I wonder: will the Republicans have the humility to take this on board? I hope so. There is a character in a Thomas Mann novel that tells us: 'If a way to the better there be, it lies in our taking a full look at the worst!' And there's a hell of a lot of that 'worst' out there today.
And of course Trump not only embodies that worst but incites it. Every day in the news, we are informed about some new transgression of his or some new person he has insulted. It is well known that he is a bully, a sociopath, a narcissist, a misogynist , a racist and a sexual predator, that he is greedy, a liar, a manipulator and a fantasist and conspiracy-theorist, has a highly inflated view of himself, demeans everyone and everything and that his vision of the world is both narrow and negative. He clearly has multiple personality disorders. For me, he embodies every single trait of the immature, weak, insecure, macho-infested, wounded masculinity that characterises the shadow side of a patriarchal mindset that simply has to die, as it has dominated the world for far too long and is the main reason why our planet is so full of violence and chaos today.
Yes, I think Trump not only embodies the Republican party's dark side but also America's dark side and even perhaps the dark side of many of us non-American men as well. Certainly, as a result of all his goings on being paraded in the news every day, he is giving all of us the opportunity to perhaps look at some very ugly parts of ourselves. So perhaps we men need to stop projecting our shadow onto Trump, let him off the hook for a moment and instead look inside our own hearts and see if we too might be carrying some facet of Trump-hood inside us. Perhaps we can even be grateful to him for offering us the opportunity to confront aspects of our own selves standing in the way of our being more fully human!
Of course, it is not by chance that Trump's opponent in the race for President is Hillary Clinton. While she is certainly not without her faults (it is damn hard, believe me, to operate within the system as she has done for thirty years and not be implicated in it to some extent), I believe she nonetheless embodies many of the qualities required not only to lead America in the tough times that lie ahead, but also to assume leadership on the world stage. A lot of the reasons why she is despised is because she is a woman – a woman with power – there is still a strong misogynistic streak in America, even among women. Hillary is the archetypal warrior lady. She's a fighter. She is highly intelligent and she works damn hard and I respect her tough-heartedness and courage and she is certainly not devoid of tenderness as her detractors like to suggest. OK., her foundation may have received money from one or two dodgy sources, but it was never money she used for her own self-aggrandisement but always for her projects. People forget that all during her life, she has done a lot in many different ways, to help women and oppressed minorities and this requires a lot of love, integrity and commitment. It is tough work. And what's wrong with being ambitious? I believe she truly wants to change the system, to create a better world with greater equality for all and I trust that she will keep her word and fight to make all the changes in government that she talks about and that it will no longer be business as usual, that is, politicians not keeping their word, but rather, business being done along brand new lines.
At the time I admit I was sad that Bernie Sanders didn't make it and while I love much of what he stands for, I feel a) that many of his policies will be implemented by Hillary – she's said she would – and b) that the kind of complex challenges which we face in the world today can best be handled by intelligent warrior women like her as opposed to by old men. The fact that today we are witnessing a whole new raft of these strong women ( Angela Merkel, Teresa May, Nicola Sturgeon) emerging on the world stage, has to be celebrated. This is what the world needs if it is to evolve and heal, namely, the continued emergence of the feminine presence in leadership positions to celebrate the end of the oppressive, backward-looking patriarchy which is everything that Trump represents.
I therefore think it is fantastic that the new US President will be a woman. America is a very fine country. I was privileged to have lived there for over a decade and I am all the better for my experiences, having encountered some of the wisest people on the planet. So when we remember that Jung, who coined the term 'the Shadow', told us that 'the tall mountain casts a long shadow', we understand why the US shadow is so big and dark. Trump-ism is emerging everywhere not because America is slipping backwards but because the country is moving forward quickly and thus is having to confront all the many skeletons in its closet so that it can continue on its upward journey. For confront these skeletons it must do. There is no way of avoiding this. And what Trump offers is the full monte. Put simply, the world we are moving into today has to transform and move beyond old fuddy-duddy and deluded worldviews. It is not about building walls and denying climate change and waging war against Islam. It is about letting the drawbridges down and honouring climate change and respecting Islam.

I really want to enroll, but the conversion from Dollar to Real doubles the price of the enrollment. You guys could make some promotional packages for the people in poor places of the world.
You would receive a lot of good karma.
But don't do it if you don't want to take seriously your artistical development. Because when you enter in this game, you're aiming to become a pro.
I was in the May - July 2011 run of this course and I am still applying/developing the knowledge I learned from it (and still learning new things going back through the coursework). It is, quite literally, something that will stay with you the rest of your life.
Hi, I registered with CG a long time ago and never actually did anything with it. Since I've never taken a lesson from this site before I want to know how easy is it to take this course while working a job?
Is the hours to do this course flexible or is it a set time you need to be on? How does this work?
I'm from the January to March 2013 run (14th run) which is coming to an end but with the alumni forums ahead, it's a new beginning for life-long learning!
I consider myself a newbie and this is a very, very, very intense boot camp to "become a better artist" because if you wanted to do everything and absorb everything within the 8 week time-frame it is definitely a full time load but fortunately you can do it at your own pace even after the workshop ends, out of Rob's generosity and admirable mission to make you a better artist.
No regrets taking this course as it has saved me from many insecure thoughts and self doubts I have of myself while the remaining ones are a normal part of being a learning artist. This is a workshop you'd need to review again and again. I feel like my aspirations and goals as an artist are clearer as I realise what things I don't want to do even more and where I fit in terms of skill level. And to think that I used to believe I will never be able to do his course! Took the leap of faith, don't regret it now! Now I'm figuring out the hike ahead together with Rob's mentoring and fellow classmates' support.
It's forum based, so you can do the assignments at your own pace. Also, there are no deadlines for the assignments. Even if you turn the assignments in months later (or even years later), I'll still help you with critiques and answer your questions.
I have written a lot about what the workshop involves in this thread, and while it's becoming a long thread, you can find out a lot from just reading my posts answering this exact question from others on this current page.
Many of my students are full-time professionals already working in the CG industry–art directors, technical directors, art department leads, concept artists, illustrators, etc. I also have students who are going to university or trade-school full-time too. And many of these very busy students also have families and children and so on. Some of my hardest working and most passionate students were the ones who were the most busy.
You'd be surprised by how much you can really do in your life if you managed your time wisely. This is one of the many subjects taught in the first week of the workshop.
I'm completely new here, having just discovered the existence of your workshop only a few hours ago.
I've been searching for an on-line tuition course for several months now, but haven't really found one I felt confident enough to get involved with, until now. I've done quite a bit of research and self-assessment and quickly came to the conclusion that why I've never progressed with art is the complete lack of knowledge in the fundamentals; perspective, lighting, anatomy, composition etc. I realise the fundamentals are quite a monumental task to learn competently and well, but I am very eager to try.
They say honesty is the best policy so here I go.
I haven't done any drawing since I was in my twenties, I'm 45 years old, I'm quite badly dyslexic, I'm partially colour blind and my previous drawings were all reproductions of the work of others (strictly for pleasure) a habit I desperately want to break!
My goals are not career driven, this is mainly for personal achievement. However, a significant driving force behind my finally wanting to learn art in the proper manner is the fact that my wife is now a published author, her third book is due out this year, and I would dearly love to be able to render scenes from the world she has created in her books.
Well, that's my spiel, do you think you might be able to help me through your course, or am I a lost cause? If you think you can help me progress in my dream then give me the thumbs up and I'll be first in line to sign up for your next workshop.
P.S. Please don't hold the fact that I'm a Brit against me.
I haven't drawn anything since I was in my twenties, I'm now 45! I'm partially colour blind and I'm quite severely dyslexic. Am I the lost cause I think I might be? Or do you think I could still develop with your guidance? The one thing I have in my favour is a willingness and desire to learn and achieve, even though those things do come slower to me than most.
Obviously at my age I have no desire to make art into a career, this is all strictly for personal gain and self gratification. Having said that I do have a strong driving force and goal in mind pushing me to develop my art. My wife is a published novelist, her third book is due out this August and I would dearly love to be able to render scenes of the world she has imagined in her writing.
I've been investigating why my art never progressed past a certain point and have discovered that the answer is actually a very simple one, I haven't been taught the fundamentals! Perspective, colour, value, anatomy, composition etc. So this is what I'm looking to focus on and relearn from the point of a complete novice.
Is this possible? Can you help me? Is your 'Becoming a better artist' workshop right for me?
P.S. I previously wrote a similar post to this one which didn't appear in the thread. If it does appear in the future please ignore it and accept my apologies.
Arcanum, I would love to be able to help you, and I will do whatever I can, but I need to know whether your dyslexia will prevent you from having to do a lot of reading. This is extremely important because the lecture notes are very in-depth, and do not overlap with the video contents at all (and in fact, the lecture notes are much more important than the videos in general, since the most critical things are much better learned through lecture notes than video, while video is better at demonstrating the more technical aspects like workflow, drawing/painting approaches, digital manipulation tools, etc). If reading isn't a big problem and you can get through it (only slower than most people), then you wouldn't have problems with the workshop.
As for being partially color-blind, I had students who were also partially color-blind, and they did just fine. The week on color would be a bit different for you than for others, but depending on exactly what type of color-blindness you have, I think you can still do okay. The worst cast scenario is that you focus more on lighting and values, and that alone is very powerful, and with the lessons from the week on colors, you'll be able to at least "fake" a coherent and logical color palette purely based on the logical world, and it'll look pretty damn good. Mother Nature is the most amazing art director ever, and all you have to do is follow her rules and you'd get stunning results (I'll explain more about this in the workshop–it's one of the secrets that very few beginner/intermediate artists understand).
Thank you very much for getting back to me, I really appreciate it. And my apologies for taking so long to reply but I'm in England and the time difference can be a real pain.
My dyslexia doesn't actually stop me from reading, I actually like to read a lot, I love novels, I've even tried writing a few, my real problem is processing. When it comes to reading technical stuff, how-tos and the like, I do struggle a lot as I have a hard time actually processing the information and even absorbing it at all, I'm much more of a visual person when it comes to taking things in. But it does seem to depend on the language used, just how technical it is and how much interest in it I can muster. Give me a fifty page essay to learn the ins and outs of a major astronomical event then expect me to write a thesis about it and I'd more than likely fail, it's a pain but that's just the way it is. But, a few paragraphs to read, maybe a little extra research of my own in between, an assignment to drive the theory home, then back to more paragraphs and on and on. That I'm sure I could do, especially since I'm very interested in digital art and very much want to learn and see gradual improvements. I guess it's really hard to know just how I'd handle the written portions of the course until I actually try, but if I have time enough to reread and fully absorb it all by breaking it down into manageable segments then I think I could make it work. I hope that all makes sense.
One thing with my dyslexia, if I have to submit much written work there will likely be quite a lot of spelling mistakes, which will make for a bit of embarrassment on my part when it comes to interacting on the forum.
I thought it best to mention my colour blindness more so you knew what you were letting yourself in for rather than for myself. I'm actually a picture framer by trade and so have to deal with colour all the time, I handle it by being very organised and by making sure everything has a name and specific place, making my problems quite minimal. I'm sure it won't be that easy with art but I would hope that sticking to those practices will help. Anything I get a little wrong I can blame on artistic expression.
I'm not sure my colour blindness is classed as a type, at least not that I'm aware of. Basically it's slight tones of certain colours that I can have trouble with. Basic green is no problem but a shade of olive may look more brown to me. A shade of purple may look blue. That kind of thing. I've lived with it for so long now I can't really see it being anything I can't work around. I just really want to paint, digitally that is.
Could I ask another question? And I don't want this to sound derogatory in any way, it's certainly not meant to. But can I really expect to learn much in just eight weeks? Considering the sheer scope of all the fundamentals involved in art?
Generally speaking, when you look at how students talk about other online art workshops, they don't get all gushy and breathless and say that their lives were profoundly changed, that their minds were blown, and that they learned far more in eight weeks than they did in all their years in art school.
I've already read through a lot of the testimonials about your course, they really are very impressive and inspiring, but I do get a sense that most come to you already having previous experience. As you mentioned they've been to art school, are already professionals or have tried other on-line tuition. But I'm coming to you as a complete novice, wanting to start right from the beginning, I really want to make this course work for me, which is why I'm pestering with all these questions I guess, and don't want to fall by the wayside after just a few weeks because I'm having to accomplish a little more than the rest of the class. I would also hate to think I was holding others back. In your honest opinion will this course work for complete beginners?
By the way, I've just bought Digital Painting from Ballistic, amongst a few others, I have to say your portrait of Elena is exquisite.
P.S. I've just noticed two places have opened up in the course! Got to make a decision soon!
Actually, I have plenty of total beginner students, and some of those testimonials are from them. One of the most unique things about my workshop is that it can help artists of all levels–from working professional artists to total beginners. Whether you have technical drawing/painting skills isn't important to the most important lessons in the workshop, and you're going to be picking up a lot of those skills in the workshop anyway–from easy stuff all the way to highly sophisticated/advanced stuff.
And don't forget, the workshop doesn't ever end. The mentoring continues in the private alumni students lounge, where all alumni students continue to receive help from me, for as long as they need it. It's a long-term relationship we're building here, and the 8 weeks of the workshop is just the beginning.
But I'm coming to you as a complete novice, wanting to start right from the beginning, I really want to make this course work for me, which is why I'm pestering with all these questions I guess, and don't want to fall by the wayside after just a few weeks because I'm having to accomplish a little more than the rest of the class. I would also hate to think I was holding others back. In your honest opinion will this course work for complete beginners?
I just recently graduated from this workshop, and I have never been to art school or had learned anything deep related to the foundations of art. I had barely started scratching the surface in the ~1 past year I decided to learn to draw.
I believe, for having been there, that a student cannot "fall by the wayside" or that anyone can "hold people back" by being slower to absorb knowledge and apply it. You work at your own pace, and hand in the assignments when you can. It can be demanding at times depending on the other things happening in your life, but it's only 8 weeks in your lifetime (those flew right by omg), an amazing packed-with-knowledge 8 weeks – and don't forget the almuni forum is there for support in your learning journey after it is over.
All these words to say, if you are a beginner, you can consider this as the "hey I won't get any bad habits and have misconceptions" workshop taken at the right moment. As Rob said, it's only the beginning, and what a great way to begin it!
If you walk in with the dedication and focus and discipline, I am certain you can do it. I found my classmates supportive (and funny!) when I was struggling with certain things and the atmosphere in the class forums was another great aspect of this workshop.
Can you believe it! Two places left in the course yesterday and when I finally decide to take the plunge and join up those places are gone. Well I guess I can only blame myself for hesitating too long. But I'm now determined to take your course. Could you give me an idea as to when the next course will be open for applicants? I'll make sure I don't miss out next time.
In the mean time I feel I have to start putting pencil to paper, or stylus to tablet, as it were, and to that end I was planning on buying a set of lectures on perspective from Gnomon to get things moving. That wouldn't interfere with things when I finally come to join the course would it?
Thanks again for all you time, hopefully you'll be seeing me in the future.
Thanks for pitching in, I really appreciate it. It's great to hear from someone who's been through the course first hand. I think it was your comments that finally persuaded me to stop hesitating and just jump in. Unfortunately I just missed out on the last couple of places left in the upcoming run of the course, so I'm going to have to wait until next time. But I will be there in the future, and maybe I'll see you in the alumni forum when the course is over.
You could try contacting the workshop manager (Kirsty Parkin <kirsty@ballisticmedia.net>) and ask her to alert you if a space does open up (someone cancels enrollment due to unforeseen circumstances).
Generally, I run the workshops almost back-to-back, so the next one would be late May, and the enrollment would start probably mid-April.
What ever learning you do on your own before the workshop shouldn't create conflicts, unless what you're learning is a lot of really bad habits and misinformation, which then you'd have to unlearn during the workshop. I think the most important thing someone can do to prepare for the workshop is to catch up on their basic drawing skills, and I usually recommend they pick up one of the Andrew Loomis books.
I've sent off an e-mail to Kirsty, asking her if she could let me know of any last minute cancellations. Thanks for the suggestion.
The kind of tuition dvds I was thinking of looking at were Fundamentals of Perspective series with Gary Meyer and Basic Perspective with Scott Robertson (love some if this guys stuff). There are a few other things I was hoping to move on to also, Light and Colour Theory with Jeremy Vickery, Anatomy Structure and Proportion with Charles Hu and a few others along the same lines. They all seam to be carried out by long term professionals so I have to believe there wouldn't be any misinformation given.
I've looked into Andrew Loomis' books and they seam to be quite thin on the ground, due to the date of the originals I assume. There is one named Successful Drawing which looks like it covers a number of different asspects, rather than focusing on specifics like the others. Imight see if I can get hold of a copy.
Successful Drawing is one of the best books ever written in the history of art education, and Loomis's books are considered legendary and highly sought after. When they were out of print, people paid hundreds of dollars for a used copy of his books. His books have stood the test of time and are a no-brainer for any aspiring artist. Creative Illustration and Figure Drawing For All It's Worth are other legendary books from him. The rest are not as prominent among the books he's written. Eye of the Painter is more for artists who are more experienced looking to advance their creative sensibility.
As for the videos you mentioned–I haven't seen them, but I would assume they're quality material. I know the Gnomon guys and had been invited to visit them and had dinner with a couple of the guys in the past, and they're nice guys who are industry pros and experienced instructors.
One very important thing to do is that you must actually draw/paint instead of just watching videos or readings books. Too many people think they will magically assimilate the necessary skills just by watching other people do it or reading about it. The only way to develop muscle memory and eye-to-hand coordination, as well as observational and analytical skills, is to actually do the work and allow the synapses in your brain to form new connections.
Another thing I always stress, is to not be a hoarder, and be a doer instead. Too many people hoard and collect a bunch of tutorials, videos, books, or take one workshop after another, but they end up not really improving much because they don't focus their time and energy on the actual doing. They don't push themselves to fully utilize what the learning resources are trying to teach them–they just gloss over the lessons and jump to the next thing, deluding themselves into thinking that the more learning material they hoard, the higher their chances are for improving. The guy who focuses on learning from just one book or video or workshop, will improve far faster then the guy who glosses over a dozen books, videos, and workshops.
Time is precious, and so is the energy we put into our learning. Make sure you pick your battles wisely and dedicate your time and energy to the most effective resources that are the most critical and essential, and put your time into areas that are universally important to all visual artists instead of diving into esoteric aspects too soon.
Wise words indeed, and to be honest I already subscribe to all of those ideals, or try to I guess. Thank you very much for another great reply, but I'm afraid I've waisted your time as I'm not going to be needing to fill in time before starting your course, since I've just found out from the brilliant Kirsty that I've been given a place on the course starting on Monday! Fantastic news!
I'm suddenly incredibly nervous about the whole thing but I'm up for it.


Dear friends, please leave this space better than what you found it. Thanks.
There is a council worker picking up rubbish in his green hi-visibility outfit. A short lady with short brown hair walks past with her balky adult son. She stops to talk to the worker, "guapisimo" she says. Handsome. Return to the heavens, she demands as she goes in for a huge hug and the customary two kisses, one on each cheek. Then she continues on, and he is left with a smile on his face.
This was my introduction to the area where you'll find the L' Horat de Forat (meaning the little garden in the hole). In a peaceful town square, not far from the Picasso Museum.
There are trees that square off the plaza, as tall apartment buildings look down upon the greenery. People stop by the garden and peek in, as I had done. A man with a white shirt and blue jeans, on his way to his daily labour, walks into the Hort. He picks a few things from the back, and takes something from a tree, then as fast as he arrives he leaves, with a handful of green treasures. Back on with his day.
There is an outdoor cafe leading to the gardens, filled with pictures of Barcelona residents. This is the true Barcelona, the poster says.
Everything is emotion, everything is interaction. It has always been like this. The door is always open. When you say Barcelona, this is the true Barcelona.
I approach a woman working in the garden, "I am here to help," I say. Her name is Nico, she runs the garden. She explains the garden philosophy and takes me on a tour. Shows me where the gloves are and how the watering system works, and all of a sudden I am no longer part of the crowd looking in – I am inside getting dirty amongst the soil and the weeds.
Nico explains to me that it is a community garden, organised my the 'Casal' (similar to the council).No one has any particular plot but the garden is for anyone and everyone. 2 hours a week she comes and works in the garden, with anyone else from the community who wants to join in. There is disorganisation as many people came and then stopped coming. Planting whatever, wherever. Nico's goal is set up better systems. She tells me where the keys are kept and she says after coming and helping a couple of times, I can come whenever I want to. The gate is always open.
This green area is the result of protests, like many of the urban gardens in Barcelona. People in the community taking control over their public spaces. Now the square full of activities, movie nights, and the garden. Nico explains the neighbourhood as being 'humilde'. Humble. Today, I have been invited to go along to a circus day in the same square and have signed up for the hula hoop class. Humble, with a bit of fun.
