'And Just Like That…': 2 Rumors That Turned out to Be True and 1 That Might Still Happen
Fans are officially halfway through the first season of And Just Like That… While the series has only been on HBO Max for a month, it feels like it's been around much longer. That's likely because rumors about the show have bounced around the internet since HBO Max announced the project. Interestingly enough, two of the most prominent tales turned out to be true, and it looks like one other major storyline rumor could still turn out to be correct, too.
Mr. Big did, in fact, die in the first episode of 'And Just Like That…'
Shortly before filming for And Just Like That… began, rumors started to swirl that Mr. Big, Carrie Bradshaw's longtime love, would die early on in the series. The rumor suggested the majority of the show would follow Carrie as she attempted to pick up the pieces of her life after the sudden death. While fans argued about the potential storyline for months, most agreed that it seemed plausible.
The rumors were correct. Mr. Big's death came in the final moments of the show's premiere episode. The second episode, "Little Black Dress," which aired on the same day as the premiere, featured Mr. Big's funeral. Each subsequent episode has dealt with the fall out of his death in some capacity, although storylines for both Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York have been woven in, as well.
Rumors about Samantha Jones' whereabouts were spot on, too
Sex and the City fans had a lot of misgivings about And Just Like That… Their biggest concerns surrounded Samantha Jones. Kim Cattrall, the actor who played Samantha for all six seasons of the original series, opted not to return. While there were a lot of rumors about how the show would deal with her absence, the most persistent story suggested Samantha had moved away.
While tales of a falling out made their way around the internet, there were also reports that suggested Samantha would be killed off, The Daily Mail published a report from an alleged insider in November 2021 about Samantha's actual fate. The insider told The Daily Mail that Samantha would be living in London during the reboot. That turned out to be 100% true, down to why she left The Big Apple behind.
'And Just Like That…' fans still think Mr. Big might have a secret child
While Samantha's rumored storyline and Mr. Big's rumored storyline both turned out to be true, several other rumors have yet to come to fruition. Many of them won't, but one rumored plot point could still come to pass.
In July 2021, Deadline announced that Isaac Powell would be joining the cast of And Just Like That… as a character named George. HBO Max initially added the actor to the lineup but then pulled all mention of him. HBO seemingly stopped mentioning the character after fans began to speculate that Mr. Big had a secret child with Natasha Naginsky. The character has yet to appear in the series.
Mr. Big left Natasha an inheritance in his will, and a concrete reason for that inheritance has yet to be revealed. The inclusion of Mr. Big's assistant, Gloria, in the storyline also lends some credence to the rumored plotline. HBO has just five episodes to let it play out. Whether it will actually happen remains to be seen.

Official Washington is officially aghast at the brazen tape-recorded revelations of Illinois Gov. Rod (Show Me the Money) Blagojevich's alleged "pay for play" politics.
On your local newscasts, you can catch your local senators and representatives in the act of being duly appalled that he allegedly dared try this shakedown on something as sacrosanct as a U.S. Senate seat.
But you will have a far harder time catching your senators and representatives in the act of another little thing that they do almost daily. It is dialing for dollars. It is just another form of "pay for play" politics.
It is, in effect, a legalized shakedown of special-interest lobbyists by your elected senators and representatives. (Of course, "shakedown" isn't the term they use.) It is a big part of the way Washington really works.
Just about every day on Capitol Hill, senators and representatives leave their official Senate and House offices and go to special nearby offices that are not paid for by taxpayers, but by Democratic or Republican campaign committees. (Why? Because it is illegal to use government facilities for soliciting campaign money.) In these privately paid offices, your senators and representatives are handed lists of names and telephone numbers of the lobbyists for special interests that are regulated by the committees and subcommittees on which these members of Congress serve.
The senators and representatives telephone the lobbyists. They tell the lobbyists they have to pay off big debts from their last campaign - or they are facing a tough opponent in the next election - and they need a campaign contribution of, say, $10,000.
Timeout. Let's see how this is looking from the other end of the telephone line.
We are now in the office of a lobbyist for a big-industry special interest. He has gotten this phone call from a senator who chairs a subcommittee that can be crucial to this industry. First, the lobbyist does not miss the irony (see also: duplicity) in the laws governing what is taking place. The senators and representatives have righteously banned themselves from accepting a steak dinner that is paid for by this lobbyist. But Congress carefully kept it legal for a senator or representative to ask (and sometimes demand) $10,000 in campaign money from this same lobbyist.
Now, the lobbyist has no immediate legislative problem that requires help from this senator. But he knows that something is sure to come up in the future - and when it does, he'll need to meet with this senator or a top staff member to make a pitch for help - maybe a clause in an amendment, maybe a telephone call to urge an agency regulator (whose budget is also controlled by this committee) to ease up.
All the players know the game: When campaign money is solicited, a specific quid pro quo is not discussed; that would be illegal. But all players know that campaign money ultimately buys access. And that's when the specifics are discussed.
"It is like when you ante up at a poker game," one leading Washington industry lobbyist told me. "You do it not because you know you will have great cards coming. You do it just so you can stay in the game to see a few cards."
So when the senator calls, the lobbyist knows there is only one smart choice: Pay to play, Washington style.
Many months later, a loophole will be quietly stitched (undiscovered by you, unless someone snitched). It will give the lobbyist's special interest a tax-break waiver or regulatory look-the-other-way. The industry will keep many millions that otherwise would wind up in the U.S. Treasury. All it cost was perhaps a few dozen of those well-spent $10,000 campaign gifts. The law calls it a legal contribution. The lobbyist knows what it really is: a smart business investment.

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 17, 2018 – Following the January 4 announcement by the U.S. Department of Justice to withdraw the Cole guidance, today Representatives Denny Heck (WA-10) and Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) sent a letter to U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) requesting they preserve the 2014 guidance for marijuana-related businesses to operate under the Bank Secrecy Act.
Under state law, eight states and the District of Columbia permit adult recreational use of marijuana. Twenty-nine states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories of Guam and Puerto Rico allow medical marijuana use.
Cosigners of the letter include Representatives: Don Young (AK-AL), Earl Blumenauer (OR-03), Carlos Curbelo (FL-26), Dina Titus (NV-01), Tom Garrett (VA-05), Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC), Jacky Rosen (NV-03), Eric Swalwell (CA-15), Seth Moulton (MA-06), Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01), Jared Polis (CO-02), John Delaney (MD-06), Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02), Diana DeGette (CO-01), Matt Gaetz (FL-01), Darren Soto (FL-09), Betty McCollum (MN-04), Colleen Hanabusa (HI-01), Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Gwen S. Moore (WI-04), Charlie Crist (FL-13), Michael Capuano (MA-07), Steve Cohen (TN-09), Juan Vargas (CA-51), Mark Pocan (WI-02), Joe Courtney (CT-02), Brad Sherman (CA-30), Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ-09).
Perlmutter, Heck, and Young introduced the SAFE Banking Act (H.R. 2215) in April 2017 to allow marijuana-related businesses in states with existing regulatory structures to access the banking system. The SAFE Banking Act reduces the public safety threat that arises when small businesses must operate on a cash-only basis. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Cory Gardner (R-CO) introduced a similar companion bill (S. 1152) in the Senate.
The letter is available on dennyheck.house.gov.
We are writing to express our continuing support for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) guidance from 2014 on the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) Expectations Regarding Marijuana-Related Businesses. This guidance was developed and issued in conjunction with the Department of Justice and has provided much needed stability to a growing and well-regulated market.
We urge FinCEN to preserve this guidance to continue to support banking infrastructure and access to financial institutions for businesses that are operating in accordance with state and local law and abiding by 8 other stated factors in your guidance. FinCEN's stated priorities have allowed such businesses to conduct commerce more safely through financial institutions which reduces the use of all cash, improves public safety, and reduces fraud. Leaving your guidance unchanged will continue to encourage small companies to make investments by freeing up access to capital. It will also further provide for well regulation and oversight through suspicious activity reports.
Rescinding this guidance would inject uncertainty in the financial markets. Attempts to disrupt this market are dangerous and imprudent. We see the removal of protections on financial institutions, operating in accordance with state laws, as a poor alternative to creating meaningful policy though the political process. This guidance must remain intact because the risks involved in removing it are too great.
We believe any move to eliminate revoke or change the 2014 guidance is unwise. We ask you stay the current course, a proven method that both encourages safe commerce and discourages illegitimate markets.

Q: Due Diligence: Considering Octopus Deploy, Can System Center be used instead? I'm currently evaluating options for automated deployment of our applications (ASP.Net websites, WCF Services, etc.), and so far Octopus Deploy looks to be both low friction and reasonably priced. I was able to throw together a quick demo in a few hours, and showed it to my boss. He was impressed, but would like to know if we can do something similar using Microsoft's System Center, since it is included in our MS license agreement. We're not currently using SC, but plan to start using it as a replacement for several products we're currently using for other tasks.
Getting to the point:

*

*Is it possible to deploy Web Sites/Services/etc. using some component of System Center?

*

*How difficult is it to get started?

*What are the prerequisites?

If there's some sort of guide out there that walks through the process, then all the better.

A: It looks like Microsoft has purchased InRelease for this purpose. There is a preview release for 2013 here.

Heroes, the day has come!
Today we are excited to release our first DLC for Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Shadows Over Bögenhafen. Rumours tell of the spreading corruption in the town of Bögenhafen and Lohner has sent you to investigate. Fight your way through the disease-ridden slums and across the river to the Göttenplatz district to discover the source of the corruption and put an end to it once and for all. Go to vermintide.com/bogenhafen to learn more.
Due to unforseen issues occurring during the PC beta we've decided to delay the Xbox One release of Shadows Over Bögenhafen to September. We humbly apologise for the late notice on this change - it wasn't a decision we took lightly. We will communicate a new release date as soon as possible so stay tuned.
Thanks for reading and we'll see you in Bögenhafen!


The nail polish alley always seems bright and enrapturing. Every nail polish lover understands the excitement of walking through an array of colors at a nail bar. With so many colorful bottles attracting you, it is natural to feel lost and confused. But when you know the kind of effect you desire to have on your nails, it becomes a little easy to make way through the barrage of colors.
So here is a quick guide to help you understand the types of nail polish finishes out there on the shop shelves.
1. Crème Nail Polish: It is the nail polish we have been using for years now. It is the most common nail polish and is easily found. It is just plain creamy looking textured paint.
2. Sheer Nail Polish: It is a semi-transparent nail polish that makes your natural nail look shiny and glossy. It is mostly used for French manicures.
3. Matte Nail Polish: It is a plain paint devoid of any shine or creaminess.
4. Metallic Nail Polish: This polish gives a metal like shine to your nails.
5. Glitter Nail Polish: Perfect for a party, this nail polish contains micro glitters. These glitters come in different shapes like heart, square, and strings.
6. Shimmer Nail Polish: Just like the glitter nail polish, this polish has shimmer added to it.
7. Textured Nail Polish: It has a rough texture and somewhat resembles a sandpaper.
8. Neon Nail Polish: This polish refers to extremely bright colours with a glossy finish.
9. Satin Nail Polish: This nail polish is what happens when matte meets gloss. It has the sleek matte effect and is yet slightly glossy.
10. Suede Nail Polish: This nail polish is what happens when matte meets shimmer. It has the smooth matte texture with a hint of shimmer to it.
11. Color Changing Nail Polish: This polish changes color in water depending on the temperature of the water.
Here is a video demonstrating the effect of water on the colour changing nail polish.
Hope this guide opened new alleys to the nail polish lovers.

It is no longer a question that women have unique health needs, concerns and challenges. Among them are reproductive health, pregnancy and childbirth, sexual and intimate partner violence, and cancers that disproportionately affect women, including cervical and breast cancer. Women often face environmental and occupational health exposures both in the home and in the workplace that heighten health risks.
Migrant women face significant disparities with an additional layer of complexity and require different intervention strategies. The effects of language and cultural differences, lack of access to transportation and other barriers will be addressed in each section.
MCN has compiled resources that address these challenges and barriers to care with tools, education and programming for clinicians and migrant women. Many of our resources are available in the Resources sidebar. Please explore the following topics by clicking on each heading to learn more:
Migrant Women and Reproductive Health Issues
Pregnancy [2]
The physical demands and environmental and occupational exposures related to work deserve special consideration in caring for pregnant migrant women in agriculture, service industries, and other employment sectors. Their risk status can be further complicated by ethnic and/or racial minority status, limited English proficiency, cultural beliefs related to gender and health care practices, and lack of access to health care services and lack of access to health care services. (See this map [3] for a summary of prenatal coverage for unauthorized women by state.)
MCN is interested in assisting clinicians in their efforts to address the unique needs of pregnant migrant women. The prenatal branch of the MCN Health Network provides services to health centers and mobile women to improve continuity of care and records transfer. Additionally, MCN is involved in educating clinicians through continuing education presentations, patient information materials, articles and website resources, which are linked in the Resources sidebar.
Family Planning & Contraception [2]
Just as migration can disrupt continuity of care for chronic conditions, it can also disrupt access to family planning services and contraception. In the case of Latina migrants in the US, barriers to contraception may be larger than those in migrants' home countries, where birth control like oral contraceptive pills and contraceptive injections are often available over the counter. Health care, though limited in those countries, is typically inexpensive; even discounted fees from a community health center in the US may be prohibitive. Consequently, many migrant women are lacking the family planning resources on which they had previously relied.
Breast & Cervical Cancer [2]
The barriers that prevent migrant women from getting cancer screenings are similar to those found in general health care services; language, transportation, lack of or insufficient insurance, and cultural norms prevent women from getting screened regularly. Additional hurdles include lack of knowledge about breast and cervical cancer; embarrassment, fear, and discomfort; lack of a regular health care provider; and the inability to provide test results when patients are on the move. For Latina migrants, the statistics are startling: Latinas in the US have a higher incidence of being diagnosed for cancer in later stages, making treatment more difficult. Uninsured Latinas with breast cancer in the US are more than twice as likely to be diagnosed at a later stage, resulting in lower survival rates. The rates of testing for Latinas are lower than that of white or African-American women, especially among recent Latina immigrants. These barriers result in significant disparities in the diagnosis of cancer, onset of treatment, and survival rates.
Sexually Transmitted Infections [2]
There is a need for culturally appropriate education related to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for immigrant women. The understanding of symptoms (or the lack thereof), transmissibility, prevention and treatment of STIs may be laced with myths and traditional practices. Treatments obtained from non-medical sources can result in consequences that range from uncomfortable to dire, depending on the severity of the infection.
Pap screening may offer a less threatening opportunity to provide education about STIs, given the link between HPV infection and cervical cancer. Discussion of concepts such as the risk of multiple sexual partners, the use of condoms, and the importance of screening apply to all STIs.
In addition to education, healthcare workers need to include questions in women's health history-taking related to STI symptoms, past infections and treatments.
Educational materials related to STIs are listed in our Tool Box here [4]. Information about HIV/AIDS care is available here [5].
Menopause [2]
Migrant Women and Environmental & Occupational Health Issues
Pesticide Exposure [2]
Migrant farmworker women experience unique risks related to the physical demands and environmental exposures related to their work. Health risks to migrant women associated with exposure to pesticides has always been a concern of clinicians working with farmworkers. This concern was heightened by birth defects which occurred in babies born in 2005 to four women who worked as farmworkers at the same farms in both North Carolina and Florida. The investigation of these cases by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services [6] concluded that "there is evidence…that the women's work environment likely put them at an increased risk of overexposure to pesticides", and their recommendations included an initiative "to strengthen efforts to educate farmworkers about their rights under the Worker Protection Standard, to develop pesticide education materials targeting women of childbearing age."
In addition to direct pesticide exposure, migrant women experience other occupational and environmental risks associated with their working and living conditions. Occupational risk can also be transferred to women from family members through secondhand exposure to chemicals and through location of housing close to agricultural fields.¹
It is essential that clinicians and others serving migrant and farmworker populations have access to research, training and culturally appropriate tools that can help them provide adequate care to their patients. See the Resources sidebar for relevant resources and links below to a few of MCN's many resources for clinicians on environmental health:

Arcury, T.A. and Quandt, S.A. (2003). Pesticides at work and at home: exposure of migrant farmworkers. Lancet, 362: 2021.
Other Risks [2]
Exposure to lead and other chemicals pose threats to general and reproductive health, as do a wide range of other factors such as heat exposure, musculoskeletal disorders, dermatological problems, etc.
Exposures to lead can occur in a variety of ways; lead contamination has been found in recent years in medications manufactured outside of the US, imported toys and candy, paint chips from older housing, and even in chapulines, or grasshoppers, from parts of Mexico, which are consumed as a snack.
Risk status can be complicated further by ethnic and/or racial minority status, limited English proficiency, lack of access to health care services and cultural beliefs related to gender and healthcare practices. Learn more about lead and other environmental risks here:

Migrant Women and Violence
Sexual & Intimate Partner Violence [2]
Sexual and intimate partner violence (S/IPV) is a widespread problem in the immigrant and migrant community. Women in these populations are at a substantial disadvantage and are significantly more vulnerable to these types of violence. Language barriers, economic hardship, and isolation from their communities, support networks, and cultures of origin make it increasingly difficult to come forward and report these abuses. Women often suffer in silence for fear of losing their jobs or enduring legal ramifications like being reported to immigration. In addition, immigrant and migrant women have less access to social and medical services increasing their negative health outcomes. Intimate partner violence is an especially sensitive situation, with the perpetrator of violence being a loved one, usually a former or current partner or spouse.
MCN has worked to prevent S/IPV for many years. Our Family Violence Prevention [13] program includes a number of projects, including the innovative Hombres Unidos Contra La Violencia Familiar, which seeks to address S/IPV by engaging Latino migrant men to become advocates against S/IPV.
We encourage all clinicians to screen female patients for S/IPV. Click here [14] for a low-literacy screening form example.
Sexual harassment [2]
A 2012 report by Human Rights Watch entitled Cultivating Fear [15] noted that "Sexual violence and sexual harassment experienced by farmworkers is common enough that some farmworker women see these abuses as an unavoidable condition of agricultural work." The same report said that nearly every female worker they interviewed was either a victim of sexual violence or harassment, or knew someone who was. In addition to on-the-job harassment, migrant women are vulnerable to harassment during migration and border crossings.
Trafficking [2]
Trafficking amounts to modern-day slavery. Thousands of individuals are trafficked into the US every year, and the vast majority of them are women. Trafficking victims are coerced into working. In the case of sex trafficking, women are forced into prostitution or the sex entertainment industry. But trafficking is not limited to the sex industry. Trafficked victims may be coerced into working in industries such as agriculture, sweatshop factory work, and domestic, janitorial, or restaurant work. Clinicians must be aware of the possibility that patients may be the victim of trafficking. During migration, women are especially vulnerable to trafficking. Click the Resources sidebar for additional resources, including Look Beneath the Surface [16], a program of the Office for Children and Families [17].
Case Study: Anna* had been trafficked into the sex trade in Florida at the age of 11, and was pregnant by age 13. After having her baby, she migrated to North Carolina. In North Carolina, her baby began to be sick; he had skin issues as a result of Anna's chlamydia. The presence of an STI and a pregnancy at such a young age are both indicators of trafficking, but Anna's case was not exposed as an incidence of trafficking, until her local health clinic spent time cultivating the relationship with Anna and providing a safe place for conversation. It took about a year for the health clinic to determine that she was the victim of trafficking.
What You Can Do for Migrant Women
What You Can Do [2]
We can lessen health disparities and strengthen access to care for migrant women through advocacy and clinical systems change.
Raise your voice. Clinicians are at the front lines of care. We are the most effective advocates for change within the clinician community and as a bridge between health providers and your communities.
You can be an advocate internally, changing clinical systems from within, and externally, a voice for change in your community or larger health arena. Community health workers are vital allies in this effort, both lay health educators and clinical health workers who are liaisons between a clinic and the community.
Internal Advocacy [2]
Internal Advocacy promotes clinical systems change from within.
Examples of Clinical Systems Change include:
Allow walk-in appointments;
Extend care hours beyond the workday;
Offer group visits;
Incorporate promotores de salud and other community health workers into the clinical care team;
Ensure culturally competent care in the primary languages understood by the migrant communities;
Provide vouchers for transportation to clinics and specialty appointments;
Provide access to child care;
Make sure education materials are culturally appropriate and available in the languages spoken by members your community;
Rely on resources like promotores, videos, fotonovelas, and picture-based comic books [18] rather than literature-based education to address issues as diverse as reproductive health, pregnancy and childbirth, sexual and intimate partner violence, cervical and breast cancer, and pesticide exposure;
Enroll migrant women in Health Network [19]. MCN's Health Network provides care coordination to ensure women receive the care they need, whether for prenatal care or for care for specific diseases or chronic conditions.
External Advocacy [2]
External Advocacy strengthens health care through outreach to the community. Clinicians can advocate for policy changes at local, regional, state and federal levels.
Examples of external advocacy include:
Write letters to the editor supporting legislation to protect battered women
Join sign-on letters focused on migrant women and specific women's health issues from your professional organizations to government agencies e.g. the Department of Justice, to the EPA, to the Department of Health and Human Services), and to your Congressional Representatives. MCN searches for opportunities to add our voice to others.
Join community campaigns, locally, statewide, regionally and nationally, to raise awareness of family violence, pesticide exposure, and lack of access to prenatal care.

School bus transportation has experienced many major advancements in the past few years. The advanced GPS school bus tracking technology has made school transportation the safest commutation medium for school students. The School transportation management system has automated the whole school bus transportation system.
The school bus tracking software supports a wide range of services, which are specifically developed to ensure a safe student commute. The software can be operated by the school admin, parents and the school bus driver. Parents and the driver can operate the mobile app while admin has the authority to operate the web app.
Prompt Notification generation: It updates the parents by sending notifications of arrival/departure of the buses, changes in the normal routes, any delay in the fixed schedule, unscheduled stops, boarding/deboarding of students. Apart from it, in case the vehicle stops at a particular place for a longer time, it sends excessive idling alerts to the school admin.
Live Map enables real-time tracking: In the Live map supported by the web and mobile app, parents and school admin can see the real-time movement of the school bus. It enables real-time tracking which assures parents and schools of the student safety. It can track the exact location of the students in case of emergency situations, traffic jams, route deviation etc.
All possible routes can be viewed: In the mobile app operated by the school bus driver all possible bus routes to a particular location can be viewed, which will help the new school bus driver to get acquainted with the existing routes. In the case of route deviation, it shows all alternate routes with minimum diversions.
RFID school attendance management: The RFID readers are installed at the school bus doors. It takes students' attendance when they enter or exit from the bus. By doing this the boarding and de-boarding stoppages of the students can be easily tracked. Manual school bus attendance tracking can be redundant, while RFID student attendance tracking is accurate and easy to evaluate.


The area where having a coach really helped me was in providing some process to my work. It related to #3 above – setting goals. By giving me some structure to help approach both setting and meeting my goals, I was able to really concentrate on the important tasks as well as to arise above the urgent but not important category of activities I undertook.
A lot of people think that coaches are applicable only to senior level executives, but even a mid-level career person could probably benefit from a check-in from an outside perspective to help provide focus and guardrails.

Interpol called on Wednesday for more global cooperation in stemming theft, forgery, and illicit trafficking of cultural heritage after a symposium in Hanoi with Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security.
A Vietnamese court is expected to set precedent on Tuesday by determining who will bear financial responsibility in a record-setting fraud trial, Reuters reported Monday.
Vietnam sentenced the former general director of one of the country's major banks to death on Friday following a lengthy trial of 51 officials and bankers involved in misappropriating US$ 69 million, according to Reuters.
Nearly a quarter of Asia's population had to pay a bribe to public servants last year, mostly to police officers, according to a landmark study Transparency International released Tuesday.
A Vietnamese court sentenced on Wednesday two former executives of a state-owned firm to death for what local media estimates is the largest embezzlement scandal in the nation.
Cybercriminals tried to use fake transfer requests to steal more than US$ 1.1 million from a bank in Vietnam, a similar technique to that used to steal millions from the central bank of Bangladesh earlier this year.


Gerard Windsor is a real writer in a country that will often be conned by fool's gold.
There is absolutely nothing fashionable about the ironclad prose in which he pursues his sometimes disconsolate themes, often in writing that is relegated to the minor shelf for no better reason than the fact that it is, technically, non-fiction. And yet Gerard Windsor is always an imaginative writer - even, as often, when he is brooding around the contours of the real.
His books of memoir such as I Asked Kathleen to Dance seem to me the kind of writing that asks for comparison with V.S. Naipaul or W.G. Sebald and only middlebrowism and uncertainty can explain his neglect.
I Have Kissed Your Lips at least has the advantage of being a novel - though a novel on the Oedipus theme with the added twist of Catholicism, and priestly offices in abeyance, is not likely to wow the book clubs. It is a superb piece of writing, stonily excellent at every point.
A young priest finds himself attracted to an older woman, a parishioner, and tumbles for the love of what can be touched, the tangible fleshly paradise. He awakens - down the track - into a more ashen world.
Windsor is brilliant, though never showy, in his use of flashbacks and he does every inch of justice to this grave and terrible story.
I Have Kissed Your Lips takes its title from the swooning final aria of Richard Strauss' Salome (with the Oscar Wilde words) and it manages to use them as an unemphatic index of ultimate sexual horror - though with Windsor the of the treatment is almost as impressive as the audacity of the design.
He is one of the few contemporary writers who doesn't toy with the idea of fiction as a substitute celluloid. This is a novel of scathing brilliance and the images it conjures up in the vicinity of a terrible mistake come from the precision of the novelist's language.


fish for art is home to a small collection of pieces dedicated to two very diverse subjects, the carp and the 1930s auto union racing car.
What they have in common is that both these subjects share an equally enthusiastic following.
I would guess you might be an ehthusiast or know somebody who is.
In that case please visit the product galleries to take a look at the pieces in detail.

Australia's largest and longest running fashion-filled festival has recently rounded off its 23rd year. The Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival turned the spotlight toward a slew of designers, both international and national, during the 10-day event, at Melbourne's renowned Royal Exhibition Building.
From stylish streetwear, to the glitz and glamour of a state-of-the-art production of beauty workshops, shop the runway events, industry seminars, live entertainment and world-class runway shows of established and emerging designers, the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival is simply the unmissable centre of fashion.
It was, quite essentially, a must-see extravaganza this year, with the theme, 'power to the dreamers', enhancing creativity, and encouraging passion and confidence, while connecting our vast Australian landscape to our ethics and clothing – features all clearly evident on the runway.
Australia's leading designers took to the runway, including the likes of Aje, KitX and Dion Lee, each debuting carefully-curated show-stopping looks. The runways showcased the best ready-to-wear collections, celebrating this season's colours, forms and textures.
Runway one, presented by Vogue Australia and supported by Olay at Priceline Pharmacy, delivered a prestigious line-up, including Akira, Camilla and Marc, Scanlan and Theodore, and Martin Grant, along with Lee Mathews, Bassike, Dion Lee and KitX.


Centrify is a leading vendor in the privileged access management (PAM) and was also active in the identity and access management market. Kibel said that Centrify had been successful in both areas, but in 2018 the decision was made to separate the two businesses into two companies. Kibel said the main premise around the split was to enable better focus for each of the lines of business.?
Idaptive's Next-Gen Access cloud is being positioned by the company as a stand-alone offering in the IAM space. Corey Williams, vice president of strategy for Idaptive, commented that the new company's ability to focus just on IAM is reflected in the offering's ability to meet the needs of different types of organizations.?By bringing multiple capabilities together in the same platform, Idaptive is looking to reduce the friction for organizations to adopt the different features.?For example, Williams said that multi-factor authentication is a well-known best practice, but is often challenging for organizations to properly implement as it can be disconnected from other IAM services.
When considering access to cloud applications, the term Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) inevitably comes up.?CASB is a technology that helps bridge on-premises identity with cloud applications. Williams emphasized that the Next-Gen Access Cloud is not a CASB technology; rather, he noted that Idaptive partners with CASB vendors.
"Being part of Thoma Bravo, which is the largest private equity firm in?the security space, gives us a lot of weight in terms of ability to actually enhance the business through inorganic growth," Kibel said.


Kai Brodersen studied Classical Philology, Ancient History and Theology at Erlangen, Oxford and Munich, completing his PhD (1986) and Habilitation (1995) at the last of these universities. From 1996 he held the Chair of Ancient History at the University of Mannheim, where he also took on more senior administrative roles in the University. In 2008 he moved to Erfmi, where he became Professor of Ancient Cultures and simultaneously Rector (Vice-Chancellor) of the University, the latter post held until last year. Professor Brodersen has held visiting appointments in several countries, at the Universities of Newcastle upon Tyne (2000/01), St. Andrews (2001 /02), Royal Holloway, University of London (2006/07), Oxford (2007/08), Sibiu in Romania (2014), and currently holds the inaugural Margaret Brain fellowship at UWA in Perth.
His research interests range widely across the Greek and Roman world and include historiography, geography, epigraphy, oracles and miracle texts, and economic history. His numerous books have covered these and other areas, including the seven wonders of the ancient world, Appian, Herodotos, Roman Britain, and a translation of a recently rediscovered text of Galen the famous doctor of AD II. Among many other commitments, he is also the chief editor of Historia, one of the main international journals for Greek and Roman History.
Gaius Iulius Caesar led two expeditions to Britain, about which he himself writes in his commentarii. Unlike many of Caesar's military actions (veni, vidi, vici), these two did not lead to conquest. To understand this, we shall ask: What does Caesar tell us-and what does he omit? And why did it take three generations before a minute part of Britain was conquered?
About AD 300 Solinus wrote a short collection of wonderful things on earth, which is so often based on Pliny the Elder's Natural History that Solinus has been dubbed Pliny's ape. A closer comparison, however, shows significant differences, especially when looking at the usage of the term "barbarus". What do they tell us about the changes in the perception of barbarians?

Anti-vax: a global health crisis
By Alice O'Donnell
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced that "vaccine hesitancy" is one of the top 10 threats to human life. Despite more evidence being released every year disproving any long-lasting negative effects of vaccinations, the anti-vaccination (anti-vax) movement seems to be only growing. This was exemplified in the case last month where an unvaccinated young child reintroduced measles to Costa Rica, an island that had been free from the disease for five years.
The anti-vax movement have a catalogue of reasons for not vaccinating their children, all of which have either been disproven or rebutted thoroughly. For example, one strand of thought is that vaccines are dangerous due to their ingredients, most significantly the mercury-based preservative thimerosal. Even though government health officials recognise the preservative to be safe, nearly all vaccinations have had this preservative phased out of their ingredients for years, simply as a precaution.
The anti-vax movement is surprisingly not a modern one, with the first outcry against vaccines occurring in the late 1700s, when it was believed the smallpox vaccination would turn you into a cow. However, in terms of recent times, Andrew Wakefield can be considered one of the major sources of the modern anti-vaccination movement.
In 1998, he released a scientific paper which supposedly linked the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine with the development of autism and bowel disease in children. No other study was able to reproduce findings similar to Wakefield, and in 2004 his study was disproved and the link he created between the vaccine and negative side effects proven to be false. Wakefield has been largely disgraced and has been debarred from the medical practice in the United Kingdom.
However, even though all his findings have been discredited, Wakefield's research still widely impacts the vaccination world. The immediate effect was a decrease in the number of children being vaccinated, and trend that seems to be getting only more popular.
According to WHO, there are approximately 20 vaccines in use around the world, with many others, including malaria, in the testing process. However, the anti-vax movement has reduced the number of children being protected against communicable diseases, as shown by the increase in cases of whooping cough, measles, meningitis and mumps among many other illnesses. Mumps, one of the diseases the MMR vaccine protects against, has had an increase in cases in Europe of 248 percent from 2014 (10,807 cases) to 2017 (26,803 cases).
The anti-vax movement isn't just life threatening to the children themselves, but to many people exposed to the disease. Patients undertaking chemotherapy cannot receive vaccines and are often in danger.
For example, Dr Paul Offit describes in a TIME article how his hospital was caring for two children with cancer who, due to chemotherapy, were unable to be vaccinated. Due to people refusing to get the flu vaccine, these children with already weakened immune systems caught influenza and sadly died.
Senior Lecturer in Social and Preventable Diseases in the School of Medicine at NUI Galway, Dr Diarmuid O'Donovan, points out that even if you've missed out on childhood vaccines, such as the MMR vaccination, it is never too late to receive it. He encourages any students who are unsure of their vaccination status to get the MMR vaccination from their GP or the Student Health Service.
As the article in TIME says, the anti-vax movement only results in two things – preventable child mortality from outdated diseases, and angry, misinformed parents.

When Crime Strikes
by Residencies | Aug 24, 2017 | Events | 1 comment
It was the kind of crime that had been happening around the city lately — robberies targeting Japanese-run businesses. On January 2, 1942, Japanese confectionery stores on East Cordova and Hawks Avenue were robbed within a few minutes of each other. Three days later, The Sun reported that a window was broken at the confectionery store of E. Kariya at 595 Richards and a slab of wood was thrown at and smashed the window of the Jubilee Grocery at 3302 West Broadway. Then, on Friday, January 16, at 8:30 p.m., a tall, skinny man and two friends approached the Uno family confectionery store on the northwest corner of 4th and Alberta.

Titanium Solutions a dream or nightmare?
I have been a Titanium Housing Retention Consultant for a while now and as of tonight, I don't believe I am anymore.
Let me say, when Titanium first started, it was a force to be reckoned with. They had clout, standing and were well respected yet, how time strips even the most promising of their ability to fulfill a profitable future.
You see, it has come to my attention through my experience and company insiders that Titanium has greatly reduced their Salt Lake city staff, greatly reduced their number of assignments and it's staff are wondering, will today be the day the doors are locked.
I don't want to talk about my personal experience with Titanium Solutions because, at one time, it was a company I truly supported and in fact, it could be argued that due to me, a lot of their HRC's heard of them so, I have a bit of affinity for the company however, things have changed.
I have been rejecting assignments lately because the pay has become almost laughable, the contact ratio is ridiculously low and the short sale conversion rate has almost dried up. Granted, some might say all of these things depend on the individual agent however, I beg to differ.
You see, Titanium no longer has the monopoly on home retention specialist or short sale experts and thus, these homeowners are finding alternatives and not relying on the banks to make first contact. In fact, most of these homeowners are going to 3rd parties like NACCA or Federal and State foundations set up through local community centers, churches and non-profit organizations. Truth be told, even banks are now sending out information to local resources these at risk homeowners can drive to in order to get the help they need so…..large national outreach companies like Titanium are finding this new market place of proactiveness very difficult to deal with. You see, the Titanium business model was built on a reactive frame work. In other words, when the bank wanted to make contact with a homeowner to save the home, they would send out Titanium as a last resort but, that is no longer they case. In fact, many States now handle home retention locally through nonprofit organizations so, instead of paying a company, they can get a nonprofit to do the work for much less.
So, as of right now, I don't think I am a Titanium HRC but, I have to be honest, with a Area Manager like Francine, I am ok with that. I mean, I am sure someone would find her as effective and good at what she does but, if her job is to keep HRC's and work at making them successful in a team effort….in my opinion, she will fail miserably.
Sorry Titanium but, your house is obviously not in order and we are seeing it.
Against all odds I decided to do the home inspection. Unfortunately, one property is very rural by the defunct rocket firing facility and another 1 to my shock was a home I knocked its door several times to get a short sale listing. The amount of HI took 3 hours. TS wants images with dates and time to validate that HRC was there. My camera will release that embedded feature when print with their own software.
Are there many HRCs wanting to do inspections?
I must agree with all that you have shared. I myself had shared with colleagues a few years back about Titanium and that it was great for a company to provide the home retention services. I have never receiving anything but minimum pay for my efforts, no short sale listings or anything of that nature. As far as Excellen, I am constantly seeing where some of there head staff my be speaking at an REO Summit, Training, Bootcamp, and whatever.
I don't see where there is anything is being offered to the folks like us that have hung in there chasing the carrot of being approved in their system to receive work that doesn't appear to be in sight.
If they still have the clout they once had, I sure that should have acquired some assets to dispose of by now.!
It's a new year and I leaving the promises in 2010.
I have had similar experience with Titanium, but what bothers me, is how many times I was not properly paid according to the work I did on the assignment that I was able to prove. Their bookkeeping is sloppy. I was a great HRC, but after I noticed that I wasn't getting paid the way they promised they would pay me, and I was told someone would return my call, and never did; what the heck? I am plenty busy without them.
I will stay with Titanium as long as they will have me. I ache for more assignments and will be happy to pick up the slack for you other more proud agents. I am sure Colin Powell was a private at one time and we all need to start at the bottom. I cannot afford fancy conventions like REOMAC, etc. It is just not in my budget right now. As for assignments , I think we were assured of some here as well and I have yet to get anything. Oh yes we had to join "Realty Pilot". That was cut from my program due to lack of performance. Dianna Mc Grath , my AM at Titanium has always been easy to reach and is great to work for. I just checked...I still have my account ! Yes we work for low pay, but I will gain considerable experience and I will know every neighborhood in the Los Angeles area; I will be the local expert anywhere! I recently had an assignment 25 miles away in Venice CA. Got it done too although I had to visit the landlord owner lin Long Beach. Got it done on the first trip out!
Titanium Solutions just cut me loose! After 3 1/2 years of working assignments, I went to login, only to find myself de-activated. A new area manager, who never informed me he was the new AM, decided with no communication to deactivate me based on a low rating and too many HRC's in the area. Are you kidding me? My rating/experience was good enough to be picked for Excellen but now am I de-activated. What is going on? If too many, why keep the newer HRC's? And why not email me about this first? Treat me like a professional. I guess nothing says Christmas like de-activiation. Very poor management. Any advice as I prepare a letter to the CEO?
The pay was definitely laughable, plus, they wanted you to drop everything and make three after hours attempts at contacting homeowners, within 5 days. That really meant that I wouldn't see my family for a lousy $35.00.
$35.00 – Really? I can't get a plumber to come out to a house even one time for even close to $35. They need to seriously reconsider their pay structure, and demand level. Not to mention after working with them for a very long time with the promise of Sales, you are no longer allowed to offer your services, and then they start their Reo Division and say they don't need any agents in my area....they can have the headaches and the slave wages!
I think they are trying to make a change in the Business Plan. The Treasury Department Changed the HAFA rules today Dec, 28th 2010 and included a phrase "contractor of the servicer". This could be something they have an eye on.
I stopped doing their assignments when we were required to give the mini miranda warning regarding being a debt collector. I loved the concept of being proactiveand perhaps assisting people out of a bad situation, or maybe getting a SS listing. I helped a few get a loan mod. In my mind, the assitance was hindered by having to give the warning, and I could see where it may have stopped the process dead in it's tracks. If someone knocked on my door and siad they were a debt collector and then asked if he could help me, I would have invited him to sit on a cactus!
I remember how everybody was so upset that they were not invited to be part of Excellen REO. I heard stories of agents going the extra mile to complete their Titanium assignments, etc, etc. I haven't accepted or complete a Titanium assignments since the beginning of the year when they lower the rate for assignments.
I am a SALES AGENT, that means I get pay to sell houses, These home retention assignments take too much time and get on my way of actually getting real estate business. I am not a Fedex, UPS or DHL, I do bpos because I get pay well for a one visit to a property. I have several listings that I have work hard to get, and I have several buyer agents working the leads that I get from my listings.
I think at first we all wanted to help homeowners and the payment was OK, and for some of us the business was going south and we were in red, so we have to do some odd jobs to pay our bills, but less than $60 for home retention assignment of less than $50 for a bpo is ridiculous. Anyone could make more money at the local burger place taking orders or flipping burgers, after all working there you don't have to pay boards, mls, business cards, insurance and there is not a lot of driving cost.etc, And they even provide an uniform.


Refugees in Germany are being trained to counsel their peers in a small but growing number of programs aimed at making up for the severe shortage of mental health services available to asylum seekers in the country, the Guardian reported on Thursday.
Launched by Médecins Sans Frontières, or Doctors Without Borders, the aim of the project is for refugees to learn coping skills and stress management and to provide them with someone from a similar background to confide in.
"The German system is totally overwhelmed," Henrike Zellman, a clinical psychologist working for MSF, said. "When it comes to prevention and help, there's almost nothing." And even when there is existing mental health infrastructure, the report explains, language and cultural barriers often separate councellors from refugees.
Under the supervision of trained psychiatrists, a selected number of refugees who speak Arabic, Somali and other relevant languages are trained to teach stress and anxiety management skills or refer tougher cases to doctors.
According to Abdi Mohamed, a refugee from Somalia who has been trained as a peer counselor, the method works. "It's unbelievably reassuring to talk to someone in their language from their country," Mohamed said.

Q: Python bottle server-side caching Let's say we have an application based on Bottle like this:
from bottle import route, run, request, template, response
import time

def long_processing_task(i):
    time.sleep(0.5)      # here some more
    return int(i)+2      # complicated processing in reality

@route('/')
def index():
    i = request.params.get('id', '', type=str)
    a = long_processing_task(i)
    response.set_header("Cache-Control", "public, max-age=3600")   # does not seem to work
    return template('Hello {{a}}', a=a)     # here in reality it's: template('index.html', a=a, b=b, ...)  based on an external template file

run(port=80)

Obviously going to http://localhost/?id=1, http://localhost/?id=2, http://localhost/?id=3, etc.
takes at least 500 ms per page for the first loading.
How to make subsequent loading of these pages are faster?
More precisely, is there a way to have both:

*

*client-side caching: if user A has visited http://localhost/?id=1 once, then if user A visits this page a second time, it will be faster

*server-side caching: if user A has visited http://localhost/?id=1 once, then if user B visits this page later (for the first time for user B!), it will be faster too.
In other words: if 500 ms is spent to generate http://localhost/?id=1 for one user, it will be cached for all future users requesting the same page. (is there a name for that?)
?
Notes:

*

*In my code response.set_header("Cache-Control", "public, max-age=3600") does not seem to work.

*In this tutorial, it is mentioned about template caching:

Templates are cached in memory after compilation. Modifications made to the template files will have no affect until you clear the template cache. Call bottle.TEMPLATES.clear() to do so. Caching is disabled in debug mode.

but I think it's not related to caching of the final page ready to send to the client.

*

*I already read Python Bottle and Cache-Control but this is related to static files.

A: Server Side
You want to avoid calling your long running task repeatedly. A naive solution that would work at small scale is to memoize long_processing_task:
from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=1024)
def long_processing_task(i):
    time.sleep(0.5)      # here some more
    return int(i)+2      # complicated processing in reality

More complex solutions (that scale better) involve setting up a reverse proxy (cache) in front of your web server.
Client Side
You'll want to use response headers to control how clients cache your responses. (See Cache-Control and Expires headers.) This is a broad topic, with many nuanced alternatives that are out of scope in an SO answer - for example, there are tradeoffs involved in asking clients to cache (they won't get updated results until their local cache expires).
An alternative to caching is to use conditional requests: use an ETag or Last-Modified header to return an HTTP 304 when the client has already received the latest version of the response.
Here's a helpful overview of the various header-based caching strategies.
