Casual Friday: Picture of Lillie
Lillie Langtry
This is simply an image of a famous beauty of the Edwardian era, Lillie Langtry, and the story is not in the picture but in her life. She definitely belongs in the Intrepid Women category.
The photo, dated c1882, is described, rather than titled: Lily Langtry, 1852-1929, half length portrait, standing, right profile; in matching turban and dress. The LOC entry is the Americanized spelling of her name; Wikipedia gives her birth year as 1853, but my Chambers's Biographical Dictionary (1926) gives it as 1852.

Return Engagement: Harriette Wilson just wants to have fun
The following encore presentation of a 2010 post may serve as a preface to tomorrow's feature about another fun-loving girl.
The Regency era courtesan Harriette Wilson belonged to the sorority called Girls Just Want To Have Fun. Here's her take on virtue:
There certainly was much aggravation of sin, in my projected criminal intercourse with the Marquis of Worcester. Many women, very hard pressed par la belle nature, intrigue because they see no prospect nor hopes of getting husbands; but I, who might, as everybody told me, and were incessantly reminding me, have, at this period, smuggled myself into the Beaufort family, by merely declaring to Lord Worcester, with my finger pointed towards the North—that way leads to Harriette Wilson's bedchamber; yet so perverse was my conscience, so hardened by what Fred Bentinck calls, my perseverance in loose morality, that I scorned the idea of taking such an advantage of the passion I had inspired, in what I believed to be a generous breast, as might, hereafter, cause unhappiness to himself, while it would embitter the peace of his parents.
Seriously I have but a very confused idea of what virtue really is, or what it would be at. For my part, all the virtue I ever practised, or desire to learn, was such as my heart and conscience dictated.
Now the English Protestant ladies' virtue is chastity! There are but two classes of women among them. She is a bad woman the moment she has committed fornication; be she generous, charitable, just , clever, domestic, affectionate, and ever ready to sacrifice her own good to serve and benefit those she loves, still her rank in society is with the lowest hired prostitute. Each is indiscriminately avoided, and each is denominated the same—bad woman, while all are virtuous who are chaste.
…The soldier's virtue lies in murdering as many fellow creatures as possible, at the command of any man, virtuous or vicious, who may happen to be his chief, no matter why or wherefore.
The French ladies' virtue is, generally speaking, all comprised and summed up in one single word and article—bienséance!*

The Lion's Daughter & the Albanians
This month we've released eBook editions of my out-of-print works. The collection includes my very first full-length historical romance (as opposed to traditional Regency), The Lion's Daughter.
It might be the only historical romance set (partly) in Albania, and the heroine may be the only half-Albanian historical romance heroine. When the book came out, some people asked me if Albania was an imaginary country.
Barnes & Noble is promoting The Lion's Daughter 11/16-12/14, in a fine example of good timing. Today, 28 November, is the 100th anniversary of Albania's Declaration of Independence from the Ottoman Empire.
It's the Albanian version of the U.S. 4th of July. The former's road of independence, though, has been as rocky as its landscape. The century has included monarchies, invasions by various powers, a lengthy isolation under a Communist government, and, most recently, the growing pains of building a democracy.
The declaration itself is quite short:
In Vlora, on the 28th of November 1912.
Following the speech made by the President, Ismail Kemal Bey, in which he spoke of the great perils facing Albania today, the delegates have all decided unanimously that Albania, as of today, should be on her own, free and independent.
This is the English version. If you're curious about what it sounds like in Albanian, here's a clip from a movie version of the event.
And a bit more here, as well as Wikipedia and elsewhere.

"When the Duke Found Love" On Sale Today
Isabella reports:
At last, at last: today is publication for When the Duke Found Love, the third and final book in my Wylder Sisters series of historical romances. Published by Ballantine/Random House (and by Eternal Romance in the UK), the books are available in both print and ebook formats.
Set in Georgian London, When the Duke Found Love follows Lady Diana Wylder, the youngest of the sisters and the last to wed. Unlike her sisters, Diana wasn't betrothed as an infant, and without a husband chosen for her, she has made some unfortunate decisions of her own that have left her reputation a bit tattered. When her mother presents a respectable but dull suitor, Diana dutifully agrees to the match – until she kisses the anything-but-dull Duke of Sheffield. Handsome, charming, and scandalous in his own right, Sheffield is exactly the sort of man she needs to avoid, just as Diana is exactly the sort of lady that Sheffield has no business pursuing. Yet soon it's clear for them both that seduction is no longer the game. Something deep and lasting has come to bind their hearts, and the stakes are nothing less than true love.

Inspiration in a Stylish Couple, 1765
Isabella reporting:
Tuesday is the publication day for my new historical romance, When the Duke Found Love. It's the last of my three-book series featuring the Wylder sisters, all published by Ballantine/Random House. I'll share more about the book tomorrow, but in case you're busily participating in Cyber Monday, you can still add a copy of When the Duke Found Love to your shopping cart today for delivery at midnight, just like Cinderella herself.
Since I've always written novels set in the past, I'm often asked how I choose the time period. Sometimes I'm inspired by an especially interesting historical event that will determine the setting, and other times it's a certain historical figure that I'd like to feature in my story. But the one constant for me is the clothes. I know it may sound hopelessly shallow, but I have to like the clothes my characters will be wearing, or all bets are off.
When the Duke Found Love is set in London in the 1760s, and yes, the clothes for both the gentlemen and the ladies of that time are quite glorious. There are ruffles and laces galore, silks and jewels and extravagant hats: what's not to love? As an example of the Georgian splendor that I found so inspiring, I'm offering the double portrait, above, of Peter Perez Burdett and His First Wife Hannah, by Joseph Wright of Derby. Clearly Mr. Wright enjoyed 18th c. fashion every bit as much as I do, for this painting is filled with stylish detail (click on the image to enlarge.)
While ostensibly out for a country stroll, Mrs. Burdett is dressed to the nines, or maybe the tens: a rich silk gown and petticoat, bow-trimmed bodice, lace-edge pelisse, and fine linen kerchief. Her wide-brimmed straw hat is edged with more lace, and tied with a wide silk ribbon over a lace-trimmed cap. Her sleeve ruffles are truly amazing - see a beautiful close-up detail here - as are her jeweled bracelet and sunburst earrings.
Her husband is not to be outdone, however. He's wearing a double-breasted striped waistcoat, a velvet coat, and a gold-laced cocked hat, with more stripes knitted into his stockings. Another close-up shows the wrapped death-head buttons on his coat as well as his heart-shaped shirt-buckle. (In fact his shirt and shirt-buckle look very much like those worn by tailor Mark Hutter of Colonial Williamsburg.)
But while this painting may have inspired my characters' wardrobes, I'm afraid the real-life marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Burdett has no place in a romance. Peter Burdett was a celebrated map-maker and surveyor who made a favorable match by marrying the older Hannah, a wealthy merchant's widow. Joseph Wright was Peter Burdett's friend and likely privy to his true feelings regarding Hannah, so that the emotional distance apparent between the couple in their portrait is probably not accidental. By 1774, Burdett was deeply in debt, and fled England to work in Germany, where he remained for the rest of his life. He took this painting with him – but left the flesh-and-blood Hannah behind to face his creditors.

Friday Excess: Thanksgiving Dinner, 1900
Isabella reporting,
If you are feeling diner's remorse today, rest assured that whatever you ate at your Thanksgiving dinner can't hold a candle to the quantity that prosperous New Yorkers consumed for Thanksgiving in November, 1900.
This is a menu for the holiday dinner from the Park Avenue Hotel, New York. I hope you'll click on the image and enlarge to read the staggering variety of offerings. The traditional turkey is almost lost amidst the two kinds of oysters, suckling pig, larded tenderloin of beef, boiled Kennebec salmon, sweetbreads with trifles, saddle of lamb, potted quail....

Loretta & Isabella reporting,
Americans will be celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday this Thursday, November 22. For many of you the entire week will be devoted to preparations for visiting friends and relatives, shopping and cooking for the dinner, or perhaps making the trek yourself over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house much like these turkeys, motoring off in an 1907 postcard to, we hope, a vegetarian feast.
Since Thanksgiving also always seems to coincide with our deadlines, we'll be keeping one hand on the keyboard and the other on the pumpkin pie. We'll be taking the week off from blogging, too, since we imagine you're all just as busy as we are. But please know that whatever the season, we're endlessly thankful for you, our readers all around the world. You're the best.
Have a wonderful holiday!

Shameless Self-Promotion: We've Been Listed
This has been a surprisingly wonderful week for us – surprising because we as writers never expect these kinds of honors, and we're completely, delightfully shocked and grateful when someone else tells us.
On Wednesday, Isabella learned that her newest historical romance, When the Duke Found Love, was named as one of Amazon's Ten Best Romance Books of the Year. This was doubly amazing since the book won't be released until next week, on 11/27. But still - very nice indeed.
And on Thursday, Loretta learned that her historical romance (second in her Dressmakers series) Scandal Wears Satin was named to Library Journal's Best Books of 2012: Romance list. Librarians know their books, so being included on this list is especially rewarding.
Five minutes of celebration before we both dive back into deadline distress....:)
Friday with The Reluctant Bride
If ever a picture told a story—or a face did—this one speaks volumes. Someday I'm going to write a story for her. Until then, she's yours.

A Sharp-Dressed Man, 1778
As Loretta noted yesterday, researching fashionable males from the past is a much greater challenge than finding stylish ladies. There simply isn't the same quantity of fashion plates or magazines devoted to manly style, and while sometimes it feels as if every bride preserved her wedding gown (just see how many are on our Pinterest board), there's virtually nothing surviving from the nuptial wardrobes of all those grooms. But whenever I feel that long-ago men must have had as little interest in dressing themselves as their modern counterparts dragging through the mall, I come across a splendid example of a sharp-dressed man like this, left.
This is twenty-five-year-old John Campbell, 1st Baron Cawdor and 19th Thane (1753-1821), painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1778. John had recently inherited his grandfather's estates, lands, and mines, which have made him quite a wealthy young gentleman. In the course of his long life, he will become quite an interesting gentleman, too, traveling widely and amassing such a sizable collection of well-chosen classical art that he established his own London museum. He served in Parliament, supported the abolition of the slave trade, improved his lands and mines, married and sired two sons, and gave generously to the poor. Somehow he even had time to serve as the commander of the Pembrokeshire Yeomanry to help defeat Napoleon.
Yet all that is in the future when John posed for this portrait, a young gentleman dressed in the height of fashion. I love the choice of luxurious fabrics for striding across open country (or at least for posing out-of-doors.) Over black silk breeches and white stockings, he's wearing a vermilion coat extravagantly lined in imported Italian fur, with fur cuffs and facings. Best of all is that waistcoat, a super-stylish leopard print to add a touch of exotica to the Pembrokeshire countryside. His hair is dressed in the 18th c. equivalent to the mullet, with neat side curls in front and the back long and blowing freely in the wind. He's standing elegantly with one one leg turned forward so as to best display his well-turned calf - an important attribute for any Georgian male - and yet the way he's pointing towards the distance shows his youthful impatience to be off with his dog on the adventure that will be his life. Stylishly, of course.

19th Century Men's Opera Boots
Thanks to Isabella/Susan for sending me the link to this wonderful item of male attire. As you've heard us mention/complain from time to time, men's historical clothing as well as info about same are not so plentiful as information about women's. This dress boot was new to me, and I do agree with the anonymous Cavalry Officer that it's a great concept. Also great looking. I would wear these!

Working Clothes for 1800
While our mantua-making friends from the Margaret Hunter shop in Colonial Williamsburg spend their working days recreating clothes from the 1770s, on their own time they turn their accomplished scholarship and seamstress-skills to other time periods as well. They've shared their work with us before, including this gorgeous white muslin gown with the purple silk turban c. 1800.
The clothes shown here are also from around 1800, but represent everyday wear, a kind of fashion-conscious working clothes. Think sensible Elinor Dashwood, out to get things done. The jacket (also called a short gown) is cut from printed cotton fabric. A drawstring adds shaping under the bust, and helps create the newly-stylish high-waisted silhouette.
The back of the jacket, right, has a small pleat for ease. The linear pattern of the cotton is carefully matched to make a flattering V shape that emphasises the high waist.
But that same silhouette created a challenge with the linen petticoat (skirt). Separates are hardly a modern invention. Jackets and petticoats had been the mainstays of English women's clothing for generations, with the petticoat gathered and tied to sit at the natural waist. The new fashion for a raised waist, however, meant the petticoat had no place to settle securely.
Ingenuity prevailed, and now woven shoulder straps (acting like suspenders) held the petticoat comfortably in place, lower left, over the woman's shift and corset and beneath her jacket. The side slits made the petticoat adjustable both for ease of movement and to adjust to match a woman's changing figure. If she still chose to wear a now-old-fashioned pocket around her waist, she'd have convenient access to that through the slits as well. This petticoat is a replica of one in the collection of the Wisconsin Historical Society, but similar petticoats would have been worn by both English and American women.
The white muslin cap would have worn to protect the hair and to cover it modestly, again continuing the style for women to cover their heads that had lasted for hundreds of years. But the small, neat caps and coifs of the past were giving way to the extravagant, ruffled excess of the early 19th c., with puffed crowns and trailing lappets, and more to do with fashion than modesty.
Many thanks to apprentice mantua-maker Sarah Woodyard for once again being our ever-patient model.

Casual Friday: Mr. Wolfe, 1901
I can't offer anything about this gentleman except for his name - Albert Wolfe (Wolffungen) – and that he sat for this photograph in Berlin c. 1901. The twinkle in his eye along with his general manly beauty have already made him a popular guy around the internet's tumblr circuit, but with that well-curled 'stache, I thought he'd also be a splendid Mr. Movember. And, of course, he's just all-around sigh-worthy, which makes him perfect for our Casual Friday.

Fashionable bed for November 1816
I'll admit there are times when the prose style in the early 19th C ladies' magazines seems impenetrable. In this case, instead of the expected description of the plate, we get a lecture about how much better this bed is than the old, overdone style. Would anybody like to try turning the last sentence into the kind of English the modern reader wouldn't have to read more than once?

Time to Bake Your Rich Cake for Twelfth Night
If you were the cook for a great house in the 17th-early 19th centuries, or simply a woman who lived in a sufficiently prosperous household, you'd be baking your Rich Cake, left, for Twelfth Night celebrations now. The Christmas holidays were also a popular time for weddings,and the Rich Cake would be the wedding cake of choice, too.
Celebratory cakes of the past were not the frothy, towering constructions of piped and colored icing that they are now. What made them festive was the lavishness of their ingredients, not their outer display. These cakes would be rich with eggs and butter and sugar, candied fruit and costly imported spices, brandy and sherry. With eggs as the only leavening, the texture would be dense to modern tastes, more of a cross between our pound cake and a fruit cake. But because the ingredients were fresh (or freshly ground), there'd be none of the chemical-preservative flavor that makes many 21st century fruitcakes such bad jokes.
Rich Cakes were often baked in a Turk's-head pan, shaped much like contemporary Bundt pans. Once unmolded, they could be wrapped in cloth and soaked with more liquor to develop their flavor and moistness. By the time the cakes were served in late December or January, they would truly be worth their star status on the holiday table.
During my recent visit to Colonial Williamsburg, the cooks in the kitchen of the Governor's Palace were baking the Rich Cakes for Twelfth Night. I was there for the final unmolding, right, a process that apparently involves exactly the same held-breaths and crossed fingers familiar to modern bakers. But as you can see, the cake slipped free with nary a crumb left behind.
If you'd like to try making a Rich Cake yourself, Colonial Williamsburg has put the recipe that they use (from Hannah Glasse's classic 18th c. cookbook The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy) on their Historic Foodways site. In case the non-specific nature of an 18th c. recipe is too daunting, the site provides a modern version, too.
Loretta and I wish we could serve you all a big slice of festive Rich Cake today, for this is our thousandth post for for the Two Nerdy History Girls. Who'd have thought we'd ever have so much to say?

Keeping Georgian Gentlemen Neat: Sherryvalleys
While visiting with tailor Mark Hutter on my recent trip to Colonial Williamsburg, I spotted these curious trousers, left, lying on the shop's counter. They looked thoroughly modern to me, more like the break-away warm-ups worn by N.B.A. players than anything from the wardrobe of a proper Georgian gentleman.
But according to Mark, that's exactly where they would have belonged. They're called sherryvalleys, a curious word that is traditionally considered a French garbling of a Turkish term – though as Mark pointed out, there's a certain phonetic similarity between sherryvalleys and chevalier, a French word with an early definition of horseman, so perhaps the garbling is more English from French than French from Turkish. From about 1750 through the 1830s, a gentleman's wardrobe would definitely have included a pair of sherryvalleys, especially if his day included riding.
Sherryvalleys were customarily made of heavy linen, cotton, or even leather, with rows of metal or horn buttons down each side to join the fronts to the backs. They were worn over breeches and stockings to protect these clothes from the dust and general splatters of riding as well as the smell of leather and horse. Much like an overcoat, they would be removed at the rider's destination. Any English or American gentleman riding on horseback from one country house to another (including all of Jane Austen's gentlemen) would be sure to wear his sherryvalleys, or risk offending the ladies at the neighboring tea-table.
Sherryvalleys were also worn when riding through rougher terrain as a kind of heavy-duty working pants. According to Mark, these sherryvalleys are a copy of a surviving pair that belonged to Thomas Jefferson, who wore then when surveying the wilder regions of his Monticello plantation.
But sherryvalleys weren't limited to country gentlemen. There's documentation of cotton duck sherryvalleys being a practical part of the uniforms worn by cadets of the United States Military Academy, West Point, in 1814. In a way, they're another variation of gaiters, buttoning over shoes and legs, and of chaps, worn by later cowboys to protect their legs and clothes.
Now, if someone would please tell LeBron James the proper name for what he's wearing when he leaves the locker room....
Surviving Super-Storm Sandy (or, Why There Are No Breakfast Links This Week)
I'm back on-line at last, and gratefully unscathed, too. My corner of Pennsylvania was directly in Sandy's path, but we were very lucky to suffer nothing worse than a few small branches down and a refrigerator full of spoiled food when we lost power for the better part of this week. My thoughts and sympathy are with all those in New York and New Jersey who lost so much. The images of the damage are staggering, and heartbreaking, too.
The reason for our power outage was instantly clear when I crept out to survey the damage on Tuesday morning. My house is at the dead-end of a rambling U-shape, and several very large, old trees were blown over, taking power poles, lines, and a couple of cars with them. Workers from the electric company, cable provider, telephone, and various tree surgeons and landscapers are still toiling today to clean up the mess.
One of the casualties was Halloween for trick-or-treaters. Although I stood at the end of my drive with a basket of candy and a flashlight, ready to deliver to this year's crop of princesses and pirates, most parents wisely kept their kids inside and away from downed wires and inky darkness.
But amidst all the gloom and destruction, there was one charmingly bright spot on our street. Power outage or not, one of my neighbors was clearly determined that his Halloween treat go as planned, below. I'm assuming that the fact that the pumpkins are still sitting before the house means she said yes!

Friday at the British Institution
Today you get to make your own movie. The scene is the British Institution, which has inspired episodes in two of my Dressmakers books, Scandal Wears Satin and Vixen in Velvet.
Here's the picture. You can make your own story—or just enjoy the view.

Candy Corn, a 19th Century Treat
Admit it: how many of you are in post-Halloween-sugar-shock today?
While modern candy-makers offer scores of new treats every year, there's one that's stood the test of time: candy corn. According to the food experts at Gourmet magazine, candy corn was first created in the 1880s as the culinary brain-child of Philadelphia's Wunderle Candy Company. Nineteenth century candy-lovers were already gobbling sugary treats in the shapes of vegetables, fruit, and other plants, and Wunderle owner George Renninger suggested the company try kernels of corn next. This was more a marketing challenge than a candy-making one, for Americans at the time regarded corn as feed for livestock, not people, and very little was consumed on polite dining tables. But Wunderle's tri-color layering captivated buyers, and the new little candies were an immediate hit. Originally linked to harvest and available only in the fall months, candy corn soon became connected with Halloween as well, and as Halloween as a holiday grew in popularity in the 20th c., so did candy corn: today the industry sells more than 35 million pounds of candy corn each year. That's one sweet treat.
The delightful Halloween postcard, below, comes from the collection of the Toronto Public Library. Printed in 1909 in Germany for the American market, this postcard is only one that the library shared on its blog here - definitely worth a look!

Why Choose A Small Arts Festival?
People can often be overwhelmed by the large scale of some popular festivals. Due to the large number of events they may end up missing many and not get an idea about what festivals exist out there. The large crowds can also be a deterrent for many. Not to mention the fact that bigger festivals are becoming more expensive every year.
This intimate, small scale event has been going since 2012. The festival showcases jazz performances, literature readings, chamber music, film screenings and political discussions. Despite its modest size the festival draws in some of the most well known international talent as well as local artists who are hoping to get noticed. People from across Britain and even America flock to the Hampstead Arts Festival each year. It is an event that has not been spoiled by overcrowding.
Over a two week period this festival takes place in a beautiful rural countryside setting. It is ideal because of its location. Despite being in an intimate setting of a spa town it is still easily commutable from Leeds. There are over 200 events to explore with an emphasis on performing arts. It is popular due to its perfect size. The festival is small enough for you to interact with everyone around you while still having the room necessary to provide important facilities.

← Can you be Happy and be a Gifted Child Mom?
I have two gifted children who are both challenged in their own way – which leave my husband and me challenged.
We are Danish, live in Denmark, where it's not exactly popular to discuss topics like giftedness.
From the outside, our family look like a well oiled machine (except we struggle financially).
If we try to tell family and friends about how demanding it is to us to be a parent – even with concrete examples – we only get comments like "yes, that's just how being a parent is", "our kids have problems with that, too" or "don't you think it's just like that for a short period of time?".
They look at us like we think we're the only parents in the world with those problems and as if we might take them a little too seriously.
They make us (or at least me) feel like someone complaining over normal things or like I'm overreacting.
I think what they hear are normal problems when having kids because most of what ARE the problems can be put in the normal categories like "don't have many friends", "feel alone" or "feel different and cry". These categories are normal things to go through at one or several points in a person's life. So people don't get that no, it's not just for a short period of time and no, it's not just a normal teenage thing. They don't get that what they know of from their own kids, should be multiplied with 5 or 10 or more when it comes to our kids.
And they certainly don't know that this multiplication comes from giftedness.
That's what makes it a lonely ride as gifted children parents.
Especially in Denmark where, yes, we do have an association called Gifted Children but looking at the address list, there are maybe six (6) children in the whole of our municipality age maybe four to 18! Not that many possibilities to meet peers! Of course, there are many more candidates – they just don't know about the association.
And we should be careful telling them, as giftedness is not much spoken of in Danish culture or schools.
So yes – a big roar from a gifted child mom (and dare I say a gifted mom (I'm now testing the waters in here)) as I experience most of what my children go through as well – and I'm saddened to see them struggle, too.
I try to meditate sometimes – it's rare that it happens, though. I sometimes write in a diary- mostly to note down words of gratitude (that helps a lot in keeping a positive focus in life) and I try to read literature that helps me grow and help my stay on track with a determined and deliberate positive focus.
Thank you for writing! Please look back through my past posts. You will find a number of books that I hope you will find helpful. Parenting is hard, but you are right, GT kid parenting can be intense. I post many articles about Giftedness on my Facebook page, Williams Educational Consulting. You can also follow me on Twitter at @ellen3610. If you use Pinterest, I have a board called "Gifted School stuff with 470 pins you may want to share for academic support. My Pinterest account name is mew11016. Your community may not understand Giftedness, but in your case, social media may help you connect with both academics and parents who share your struggle. My best advice is loved your gifted child, forgive yourself for walking on the parenting road that has so few "maps" available for the best way to go, and enjoy the journey. I hope you will reach out to me! I will help you any way I can.


Dossiers on current priority issues on the Swiss enlargement contribution.
Switzerland's contribution to the enlarged EU on the right track.
For the EU, strengthening economic and social cohesion is a key concern. Switzerland is helping to overcome these challenges by making its own independent contribution.
The resources of the EU earmarked for its regional and cohesion policies for 2014–20 amount to more than EUR 350 billion. The three EFTA/EEA states Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are contributing approximately EUR 2.8 billion for the period 2014-21.
Although the new EU member states are catching up, significant economic and social disparities remain. Average per capita income in these countries is still clearly below that of the other member states.
Eleven zero-emission electric buses have been in circulation in the city of Cluj-Napoca since June 2018. They are Romania's first electric buses. Switzerland is supporting the pilot project as part of its Energy City programme in Romania. It is assisting four Romanian cities in their efforts to transition to greener energy.
Switzerland is supporting four Romanian cities applying for the Energy City label. One of these is Cluj-Napoca. The city has replaced 11 old diesel buses with zero-emission electric buses. The buses, co-financed by Switzerland, have been in circulation since June 2018 and will make it possible to cut CO2 emissions by 700 tonnes annually. This project has attracted a lot of interest in Romania, since the 11 electric buses are the first of their kind nationwide. The quiet, zero-emission electric buses – comfortable for passengers and equipped with disabled-access platforms and WiFi – are setting new standards for public transport.
The Cluj-Napoca bus project is part of an Energy City programme financed by Switzerland's contribution to the countries of the enlarged EU. Cities that want to take part develop an action plan to promote renewable energies, environmentally sustainable mobility and efficient resource use. Based on one such action plan in Cluj-Napoca, in addition to electromobility Switzerland is also supporting energy efficiency renovations to public buildings and energy-saving LED street lighting. The cities of Arad, Brasov and Suceava are taking part in the programme alongside Cluj-Napoca. Cities in structurally weak regions also receive financial assistance from a fund for sustainability projects.

I have been an semi-professional photographer for many years. When digital photography became the standard, I acquired a Nikon CoolPix 8800 camera and began taking digital photographs wherever I went. I subsequently upgraded to a Nikon D90 dSLR and have continued to photograph our National Parks, cities and towns, major and local Fireworks displays, and classic and vintage automobiles.
I have also become an avid Route 66 aficionado. I have traveled the "*Mother Road*" from Chicago to Santa Monica a number of times and have several large galleries arranged by state. Take a trip down memory lane and relive the early to mid century lifestyle.
Our Fireworks Gallery includes photographs ranging from L'International des Feux Loto-Quebec held in Montreal each summer, to Cincinnati's world renownedRiverFest held each Labor Day weekend, Thunder over Louisville, a major display held two weeks before the Kentucky Derby, and a variety of local Fourth of July fireworks exhibitions.
Vintage automobiles capture the imagination and bring back fond memories of "the good old days" when plenty of chrome and powerful engines dominated the roadways. Our collections of automobiles have been captured from numerous local "Car Shows" as well as the world famous Barrett-Jackson Auto Auctions held annually in Scottsdale, Arizona.
We invite you to browse our collections and add some photographs to your own collection.
Some background about me... By training, I am a Computational Chemist, and began my career on the faculty of the Purdue University College of Pharmacy. I subsequently moved into the pharmaceutical industry and held a number of positions at several major companies, including Eli Lilly Research Laboratories, Abbott Laboratories, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical R&D, and Genentech. I was also a Principal Consultant at IBM Life Sciences. More information on my background may be found at my personal website.
Again, welcome to Photographs Now! I hope that you enjoy my photographs as much as I enjoyed taking them. Add some to your collections!

3801 was established in 1985 to manage locomotive 3801 and associated rolling stock. At that time its restoration was nearing completion at the former State Dockyard site in Newcastle. Out of trade apprentices worked on this restoration for over a three year period under the direction of the Hunter Valley Training Company. In November 1986, 3801 entered service and operated as the flagship of the Company for the next 20 years.
In 1988, 3801 and its train became the Bicentennial Train for Railways of Australia and operated tours to all the mainland capitals as part of the celebrations. In the latter part of 1988 and much of 1989, Flying Scotsman joined 3801 Limited and ran many very successful tours around NSW and beyond. In excess of 500, 000 passengers were carried by the Company during this 20 year period.

Also, the NSLog("Request: %@, Context: %@", fetchRequest, self.coreDataContext) from my above code prints out:
Request: (null), Context: <NSManagedObjectContext: 0x1701db4e0>

I have an entity called Movie in my xcdatamodeld with three String attributes. I also created a class for Movie like this in its own Movie.swift file:
import UIKit
import CoreData

class Movie: NSManagedObject {

}

A: The problem is that your Movie class has no code for generating a fetch request.
@nonobjc public class func fetchRequest() -> NSFetchRequest<Movie> {
    return NSFetchRequest<Movie>(entityName: "Movie");
}

The solution: Delete your Movie class file entirely.
In the data model, configure your Movie entity to do automatic code generation:

That will solve the problem. Xcode knows how to make the class files for an entity. So just permit it to do so, and all will be well.

L.A. Story Spotlight: Yoshiki

Interviewed by Izumi Hasegawa
Japanese rock icon Yoshiki has lived in Los Angeles for about 20 years, after he purchased a famous music studio near Universal Studios Hollywood. I spoke to him while he was busy preparing for his first solo classical world tour, which starts April 25 at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Orange County. Even though he has spent almost half of his life in L.A., it seems he can't live without Japanese food. His favorite restaurants are very Japanese, and very tasty. Read on for more about Yoshiki's Los Angeles.
GRAMMY Museum at L.A. LIVE

My exhibition is going on at the Grammy Museum. My piano was displayed only the first month of the exhibition. But they may display it again because I may do some kind of event again there. They are showing my costumes and more at my exhibition. Last August, I did a concert at the Clive Davis Theater in the Grammy Museum. Then I had a launching party with a mini concert on the rooftop of the Grammy Museum in February.

The Beverly Hills Hotel And Bungalows
I used to live at the Beverly Hills Hotel in a bungalow so I used to go there every day. They have kind of like a home vibe. They used to have a soufflé but I don't know if they still have it. The last time I was there I had lobster risotto and it was great!
The Beverly Hilton
I like the Beverly Hilton because of a lot of memories with the Golden Globe Awards. I've attended three: 2011, 2012 and 2013. [Yoshiki composed the Golden Globes theme music, which debuted in 2012.]
Soho House West Hollywood
Since I am a member, I go there twice a month or so, mostly for meetings. Soho House has a lot of people from the entertainment industry and film industry so that I bump into a lot of famous people there. Usually I go there at lunch time. I love their Burrata. It is kind of like a mozzarella cheese. Burrata cheese is my favorite. I usually order kale salad and Burrata cheese.
Grand Havana Room
The Grand Havana Room cigar bar in Beverly Hills is another membership club. Like the Soho House, I see famous people there too. I used to smoke both cigarettes and cigars but I stopped cigarettes 10 years ago on my mother's birthday. That was her wish at the time. So I smoke cigars once in a while, like one cigar a month or every two months. Cigars you don't really smoke often. You have your own humidor you can keep there. You might be surprised that the Grand Havana Room has really good steak.
I love Katsuya restaurants and chef Katsuya [Uechi] is a friend of mine as well. I go to Kiwami by Katsuya in Studio City. Sometimes I have small, private parties at my home and sometimes he comes to cook for me. I love Japanese food and I like fusion too. They have amazing Japanese fusion, very creative. Their spicy tuna with crispy rice is my favorite!
Nobu Malibu
They have a nice vibe. I love their atmosphere and of course their food as well, [which is] Japanese fusion. I know Nobu [Matsuhisa], so that when I see him, I say "hi." I always like their tuna steak.
Asanebo
I go there often, once a month or so. It's a kind of Japanese fusion as well but they also have traditional Japanese sushi. Last time I was there, I had caviar maki (roll). It was very tasty!
L.A. is a city of stories. Not just screenplays and novels. But real life stories that can only happen in L.A. A close encounter with dolphins. A brush with a celebrity. A cupcake from a vending machine. It could be an event, an exhibit, a song. But the moment it happens, you can't wait to tell everyone back home about it. What's your L.A. story?

Title:General and Periodic Crises of Overproduction
Jean Lescure's two-volume General and Periodic Crises of Overproduction is a pioneering study of the causes and consequences of industrial crises in capitalist economies in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The author, who held doctorates in political economy and law, is most remembered as a founder of the French historical school and a staunch advocate of empiricism in the economic sciences. Lescure called his approach the 'complex historical method', by which he sought to revise classical and quantitative economic theory through the historical analysis and statistical observation of cyclical phenomena. Ever the controversialist, Lescure wrote in an engaging style, accessible to non-specialists and economists alike, and critiqued the leading monetary theorists of the period, insisting that observation of the movements in production costs, industrial orders and profits be given priority over circulation and credit in understanding the periodic crises of capitalist economies. In Lescure's view, crises were inevitable in both market and command economies and their onset and consequences were predictable with the help of the more detailed production statistics newly available to economists and entrepreneurs at the time. Observation of corporate profits, the margin between cost price and selling price, provided the means to predict crises and measure their impact, not only on industry and trade but also on the working classes who would endure unemployment and the many social ills that accompany it. Lescure, unlike many of the liberal economists of the time, was always careful to include in his historical account statistical analysis of unemployment figures, as well as those on crime, marriage and birth rates, homelessness and suicide. Although he remained sceptical of government intervention in the form of monetary policies adjusting the money supply, and lauded the success of industrial concentration and trusts in reducing costs and prices, Lescure admitted the state's role in the recovery of the 1930s, when social insurance schemes and investment in public works mitigated the worst effects of unemployment for industrial labour.
This treatise, which grew out of his doctoral work, was a lifetime project for Lescure, who updated it periodically over five editions, to include each new cycle of growth, crisis, depression and recovery. Volume one provides a historical study of economic crises from the post-Napoleonic period through the Great Depression and the recovery of the late 1930s.
Volume two offers a critique of the theories of crises, their causes and potential remedies, in which Lescure outlines his preference for 'organic' theories that focus on the production process and qualitative statistical observation of the movements in costs, selling prices, industrial orders and profits.
The text of the fifth edition appears here in English for the first time, unabridged and complete with editorial materials designed to help the English reader understand the work on its own terms and situate its author's prominent place in the history of economic thought.
