Fortunately for comic fans and literature lovers, all were passing fancies, and soon the Iranian-born artist began work on her first graphic novel, Persepolis, a memoir set in the turbulent years of the Islamic Republic's cultural revolution. While Satrapi, now 42, has remained a cartoonist for those years, she has since experimented with other mediums of expression, such as animated film and live-action cinema. As part of the PEN World Voices Festival series, "Literature and the Moving Image," Satrapi discussed how she started with comics and advanced to film with Françoise Mouly, The New Yorker's art director, in the Museum of Modern Art's subterranean theatre.
With her years of art school education, Satrapi began writing Persepolis, an autobiographical depiction of her childhood in Iran in the early eighties. By writing the book, she affirmed her identity in the face of a repressive government while shaping the Western view of Iran. "Suddenly we became terrorists. Our problems were only the veil, and the beard, and the nuclear weapon," said Satrapi. "Nobody remembered that this country had the biggest poet of the world, and the philosophers, and 4,000 years of history. All of that [the book] was just to say, 'Hey, we're human beings.'" As Satrapi told Mouly, she did not expect Persepolis to become popular, or even be published. "When it was published, I thought 300 people might buy my book and say, "We did something for this poor girl," Satrapi reflected with wry humor.
Despite these expectations, the graphic novel became an instant success. When Satrapi was approached with the prospect of adapting it into a film, she resisted, making huge demands in the hopes that the project would be forgotten. But the film company agreed that it could be entirely hand-drawn animation in black-and-white. When the film was released in 2007 it garnered the Cannes Jury Prize and César Award for Best Debut.
Rather than adapt another of her graphic novels into animated film, Satrapi chose to make a studio film instead. Chicken with Plums, which recently premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, tells the story of Satrapi's great-uncle, Nasser-Ali Khan, a celebrated violinist living in Tehran in the 1950s. After his wife destroys his prized violin, he searches for a replacement, but soon concludes that no violin will give him the pleasure of playing again. He steadfastly decides to die, and after eight days of laying in bed, remembering his youth and the loss of a true love, a beautiful woman (to symbol effect) named Iran, he is buried.
As a love story, "Chicken with Plums" could be set in any city and did not need to track with historical moments. Satrapi's stunning production creates a stylized world set in the glamorous 1950s, shown in vivid Technicolor and replete with seductive and mysterious characters.
"Making a movie is like taking hard drugs. You take the drugs, you get really high, you get really happy, and then it's finished and then you get down and you are like, I will never, ever, do that again," joked Satrapi.
But this doesn't mean the daring auteur won't continue producing films. In January, she wrapped up production of a separate film project in more may be forthcoming. And while Satrapi is working on the last volume of the trilogy that includes "Persepolis" and "Chicken with Plums," she is also dabbling in yet another medium as she prepares an exhibition of paintings. With these exploring tendencies, it may not be long before Satrapi begins sleuthing or selling furs.
Trailer: "Chicken with Plums" is currently being screened at film festivals around the country.


Women of color have a clear advantage when it comes to lipstick. There are so many lovely shades that suit African American skin tones, discover them here. In the past, the makeup industry has been problematic when it comes to darker skin tones. Just visit your nearest drug store and observe how there are far more shades of beige than anything that works for African American women, Lipstick for dark skin and Lipstick for black women.
The good news is, it is getting better. Nowadays, companies like Fenty and Sacha Cosmetics cater to African American women. It's a smart move too, considering this demographic spends around $1.1 billion on beauty products each year.
With so many companies out there making beautiful products, it's hard to know which one looks best on African American skin tones. No one wants to spend a ton of money on products only to be disappointed.
As you can tell from the name, these shades are perfect for women of color with dark skin tones. Shades of chocolate brown look best on women with deep, dark skin tones because your everyday color should be one or two shades deeper than your natural lip color. Lighter shades of brown look best on light and medium complexions.
This shade can potentially look good on anyone, but it looks more natural on dark skin tones. Of course, never be afraid to go bolder. Women with darker skin can pull off bold shades that are too overpowering for fair skin.
Copper lipstick is much lighter than chocolate brown. This shade naturally blends with African American skin tones.
With copper lipstick, however, you have to make sure not to overdo it. You don't want to pair a copper lip with a copper lid. This will create far too much orange on your face.
Shades of peach and pink look great on light and medium African American skin tones.
For lighter complexions, stick with the lighter peach shades. For medium complexions, darker shades of pink look best.
Pink is a feminine color that adds a nice pop to any look. No woman should be afraid to rock this shade!
Red is a classic lipstick color that can enhance your facial features. Shades of red are some of the sexiest colors you can wear.
Thankfully, these colors work on every skin tone. Make sure to check your undertone so you know if you should steer more orange or more toward brown.
Like copper, bronze is a great color for African American skin tones. These shades are ideal for medium and dark complexions.
A bronze lip will give you a more natural, everyday look. This lipstick can transition easily from the workplace to after work drinks.
Women of all ethnic backgrounds look for lipstick shades that complement their skin tone. The best shades of lipstick for African American skin tones may not be the same for Caucasian skin tones.
While earth tones are a safe way to go, some bold women can really work in bright colors. The contrast between a bright shade of lipstick and darker skin tones creates a look that will turn heads — in a good way!
If you're looking for the perfect shade of lipstick, don't forget to browse our cruelty-free lip products.

LIVING KINDNESS: A MILT HINTON STORY
The extraordinary pianist Ethan Iverson (of The Bad Plus) has a superb blog called DO THE MATH, and most recently he has offered a lengthy, lively conversation with string bassist Bob Cranshaw here. This story seized me.
BC: Milt Hinton was one of the first bass players that I heard. This was before TV. I heard him on the radio. I think he was my biggest influence. When I heard him play, the shit was swinging so hard that the radio was about to jump off the table. I went to my father, and I said, "I want to play that."
I have a story about Milt when I came to New York. I had been in New York maybe a few months, and I was on 48th and Broadway. I was on my way to rehearsal with somebody and I had a bag on my bass that was raggedy and about to fall off, but I couldn't afford anything else. I was walking down to the rehearsal and this gentleman dressed with a tie stopped me on the street. He said, "Hi. What's your name?" I said, "Bob Cranshaw." He said, "Are you a professional bassist?" I said, "Yes, sir." He said, "I'm Milt Hinton." I said, "Oh, shit." It was like meeting God. Here's my mentor.
He took me into Manny's and he bought me a bass case on the spot.
EI: Really? Hadn't even heard you play a note?
BC: Took me and bought me a bass case right there. He said as a professional, I couldn't be walking around with a bag like that. What I teach in my method and my thought of music is, I say, "The Milt Hinton Method," because when I came, I followed Milt around. I used to just go. They were doing a lot of recording. They were recording all day. I would just go to the date and I would sit on the side. I didn't want to disturb anybody, but just to watch him. What I got from watching him was when – it could be 50 musicians – when The Judge walked into the room, you could feel the energy. Everybody was talking. That was the kind of guy he was. That was the life. He was my biggest, my most wonderful influence, was watching The Judge. When I started to play, when I started to work with Joe Williams and so forth, Milt did all the record dates. He was part of the rhythm section with Osie Johnson and a couple other guys. I would go to the dates and just watch him because I was working with Joe and I was going to have to play the same music the next week. I said, "I might as well get it from the horse's mouth. Let me get the first thing and then I have a better understanding of what I need to play when we go out on the road with Joe Williams."
I followed Milt's career all the way to the point where I used to call him every Sunday. I'd say, "Judge, I just want me blessing," just to talk to him and so forth. One Sunday I called, and his wife said, "The Judge is at a club meeting." I'm saying, "He's almost 90 years old. What kind of club meeting? What could he be into now?" There was a club called the Friendly Fifties that are in New York and I'm a member now. I joined following his thing. It was what guys like Jonah Jones and a bunch of the older guys put together, this club, so that the wives could be more together when they were traveling. These were the early days. I became part of the Friendly Fifties, and I wrote an article for Allegro at the union about all of these famous guys that were part of this club that nobody had any idea it existed.
I love the rest of the stories — because Milt in person was the embodiment of Wise Joy — but it is the little anecdote of the bass case that catches me and will not subside into a Nice Anecdote about One of My Heroes. You will notice that Milt didn't lecture the young man about how wrong he was; he didn't sell him a case and ask for money to be paid back; he was serious but gently fixed what was wrong with loving alacrity.
We all praise Kindness as a virtue. We try to be Kind. But how many of us would have made it so vibrantly alive as Milt did? Kindness in Action.
Several years ago, I wrote a post I am still proud of: I called it What Would Louis Do?.
Meaning Louis no disrespect, I would like to propose the quiet religion of Hintonism. Nothing new except the name. Doing good without asking for recompense. Taking good care of a stranger.
When we lie down in bed at night, we could ask ourselves, "Did I do my Milt today?" If we did, fine. We could try to do several Milts the next day, and ever onwards. We might have less money, but we'd be surrounded by love and that love would surely be immortal. Just a thought.

I grew up with Milt and Mona in my life. He and Dad were great buddies and colleagues, working together (or passing each other) every day in the NYC studios of the 50's and 60's…and drinking together at Jim & Andy's, with a breathtaking assortment of stellar fellow musicians.
The last time Dad and Milt played together was on 1973's "Swing, Guitars," the 2nd George Barnes Quartet album. I was a kid working at A&R Recording, and sat in the control room for those sessions; it was (as usual!) a pure delight to lean back, close my eyes, and listen to their easy magic.
If he wasn't holding his bass, or a glass, Milt had a camera; several of my favorite shots in our archives were taken by him (including one with 7-year-old me and Bucky Pizzarelli taken at 3am, holding one of my father's guitars after a predictably long Three Suns session). And if Milt was in the shot, its because he'd handed the camera to my mom for her to capture the moment.
Mona was elegant and beautiful and warm; they shone as a couple…must be why I always felt warm and loved in their company.

Well, you KNOW! Jo Jones was on that date, too . . . I have two portraits of Milt at work — at an outdoor concert c. 1981 — that he autographed for me, on the wall of my apartment. He was like a warm sun. We are so lucky to have passed through his shining aura.

Mr. Milt Hinton was a true gentleman and master talent ! It was a great pleasure in meeting Mr. Hinton at St. Peters Jazz Church on Lexington!

wonderful story, i saw the judge many times, and guess what? people cheered after his solos-remember? also met him at an exhibit of his photos with his wife,

People like Milt had The Presence. Everything about them adds up to more than a sum of parts. Louis had it. Duke, Hawkins, Benny Carter. A few others. Some are called and drawn with irresistible magnetism to give it, some to receive it, some both.
They knew the obligation to pass on their accrued presence to the youngsters. Race, physical attributes, means nothing, sincerity is all.
Milt was generous from an abundance of riches and at the same time if you took something you didn't really need he knew. And you knew that he knew. Sharing is encouraged, hoarding forbidden.
He taught that one could only be assured of knowledge and gifts to the degree you could pass them on '…from your head to someone else'.

Washington, D.C.—The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and Women In Government (WIG) today announced that Massachusetts State Senate President Emerita Harriette Chandler is the 2019 recipient of the "Outstanding Woman State Legislator Supporting the Arts" award. This annual award recognizes a woman state legislator for her noteworthy support of the arts in her state and will be presented at Women In Government's Summit on November 15, 2019, in Washington, D.C.
2019 Outstanding Woman State Legislator Supporting the Arts Award
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and Women in Government (WIG) Announce Massachusetts State Senate President Emerita Harriette Chandler as the 2019 Recipient of the "Outstanding Woman State Legislator Supporting the Arts" Award
Senate President Emerita Chandler has worked closely with communities, schools, organizations, and policymakers to support the arts throughout her career in public service. As a legislator, her advocacy and leadership facilitated an 80% appropriations increase over 12 years in support of art and culture initiatives and saw investment of more than $120 million in almost one thousand capital projects at cultural institutions across the Commonwealth. Additionally, Senator Chandler helped ensure that new casino gambling laws contained protections for cultural organizations that could be harmed by new competition.
"Senator Chandler's long-standing commitment to the arts is evident throughout her tenure as a legislator and as Senate President," said Maine State Senator Stacy Guerin, Chair of WIG's Board of Directors. "As a result, cities and towns throughout Massachusetts are harnessing the power of culture to bounce back from tough economic times."
Within and outside of her legislative work, Senator Chandler participates in countless events that shape and promote the impact the arts have on communities. Her efforts helped launch her state's Cultural District Initiative—with Massachusetts now leading the nation in designated cultural districts—and a Universal Participation (UP) initiative aimed at increasing accessibility and participation within the arts. In her home town, Senator Chandler has served on the Worcester School Committee and is a corporator of the Worcester Art Museum and Greater Worcester Foundation and member of the Worcester Women's History Project.
"Harnessing the power of the arts at all levels in a community creates a positive and long-lasting impact." said Mario Rossero, Senior Vice President of Education at the Kennedy Center. "Through our work as the nation's cultural center, the Kennedy Center has the opportunity to see how the arts bring people together in sharing experiences that know no boundaries and cultivates collaboration, cultural understanding, and communication. Senator Chandler's enduring dedication in investing and advocating for the arts is inspiring and we congratulate her on receiving this award."
Senator Chandler was nominated by Mass Cultural Council, and selected from a pool of other, extremely well-qualified female legislators. Nominees must demonstrate a significant contribution in support of the arts, evidence of promoting policies that support the arts, collaborate with cultural and education partners to support the arts, and promote the value and importance of the arts in public life.
As the nation's performing arts center, the Kennedy Center partnered with WIG to encourage support of the arts at the state or local level through this annual award. WIG is the premier organization providing leadership opportunities, expert forums, educational resources and opportunities to address and resolve complex policy issues to women state legislators throughout the country.

The Beached Whale Syndrome: How to Prevent Your Audience Feeling Heavy, Bloated and Washed-up!
Have you ever been out for a meal and overeaten?
Maybe you didn't notice how much you''d eaten because you were thoroughly enjoying the food and the company. However, within minutes of finishing, that full feeling creeps over you. Fairly quickly it turns into an uncomfortable, bloated, heavy sagging. You wish you hadn't consumed so much — but now it's too late!
You fidget with discomfort. Worst still, you know it''s going to take hours before you feel better.
If you don't want people at your presentation looking like this — read on!
Maybe you've had similar feelings as you sit through a presentation! A presentation probably delivered by a well-meaning and talented person, who just wanted to impart some of their vast knowledge to their audience.
With many years of experience in their chosen topic — often the reason they''ve been asked to present in the first place — they want to be generous and give their audience plenty of information. Their focus is often on imparting that knowledge.
Pretty soon the audience is full. They've consumed enough. But the speaker continues. He continues until the audience is way past full. They''re starting to feel bloated and uncomfortable. They begin to fidget.
They haven''t moved in what seems like months.
Before long they feel as restricted and anxious as that beached whale. And like that whale, all the audience can do is stay where they, as the information washes over them like an incoming tide.
How does a presentation arrive at this point?
Presenters often begin in the wrong place; by making notes about what they want to cover. Each thing they write reminds them of other things they want to say, which in turn reminds of them of even more things they want to include. They have so much they wish to impart they feel overwhelmed with their own information. They don''t know where to start.
So as a presenter, where do you start?
I''m assuming you either already know, either through experience or from thorough research, what you're going to talk about. So let's start with number one.
Even if you can talk 50 times faster than the chipmunks on speed and don''t take any breaths, you still can''t fit 15 years of experience into a 2-hour presentation. But even if you could, that''s not going to be a satisfactory experience for your audience, now is it?
If you give them too much information to consume they''ll just feel bloated, anxious and overwhelmed. At the end of your presentation, they won''t do anything except stagger out looking dazed and confused. And that''s not what you want. So, let's consider the audience a little more.
Your audience hasn"'t come to listen to how much you know. Sorry. Generally, they want to learn something that they didn''t know before and to be able to use it immediately. If you give them those things you''ll engage them – and they''ll love you.
For a presentation to be useful to your participants, they need to do something; to engage in some activity that will embed the knowledge you''re imparting. Just talking to them for two hours is not going to do this. No matter how titillating your presentation, how many powerpoint slides you have or how much they like your voice, they need to do something with the information while they''re there. If they don't, it's highly likely they'll forget everything you talked about in the rush to find the nearest exit.
Your presentation should include some audience participation or activities that assist in embedding the learning. These activities can take a fair amount of time and will cut into the amount of presenter talk time. While this might sound scary, it means your presentation will be a lot more focused and therefore useful to your audience.
So in a 2-hour presentation, as much as half of the time might be taken up with audience activity and participation.
Take out time for an introduction and a summary — and you might only have 50 minutes remaining. In that 50 minutes you'll want to focus on just the two or three key pieces of information that you want your audience to take away. Your audience activities should then be designed around embedding those critical pieces of information.
By limiting the amount of information you expect your audience to consume, they''ll leave your presentation feeling en-lightened and confident in their new knowledge. Much better, don''t you think, than heavy, bloated and washed-up like that poor beached whale?
Find out how to get your message across—without boring your audience!
Know how much time you have for your presentation.
Think of just 2 or 3 key points you want the audience to take away.
Remember: it''s all about the audience.
Structure some activities that will embed what you''re trying to teach.
Avoid overloading the audience with information; You want to en-lighten — not weigh them down!

Q: WebApplication Architecture - Advice on keeping HTTPContext in the Presentation layer The majority of the Application Architecture advice seems to advise strongly that only Presentation Layer should have access to HTTPContext (to promote loose coupling, decrease dependencies, increase testability etc).
So, how do people deal with Caching and Session? Very specific DataAccess and Business Logic knowledge is required to determine what items need caching to best benefit application performance. However, and an ASP.Net web application, access to these is provided via the HTTPContext.
One option would be to create a CacheFactory and a SessionFactory, and an ICache and ISession interface - and then somehow use DI principle to pass and ISession and ICache to each method in the BLL and subsequently DA Layer that needs it.
Is this really what developers end up doing? Is there another, easier, way to deal with this?
Thanks for any advice.

A: Personally, if I'm developing for ASP.NET (web) only, and I know the class libraries are only going to target the web, I have no issues referencing System.Web or any other assembly as needed. Sometimes practicality should come first.
On the other hand if you know, or are unsure if the BLL, DAL or other layers may be reused in a client-server or other environment, you may need to look at using a more flexible approach such as a session handler interface, etc.
The main thing is you clearly understand what best practice recommends. At that point you can make rational decisions about what should apply to each project or situation. It won't always fit like a glove.

A: In my experience caching is done ata certain layer - and what you're caching applies within the scope of that layer, so:

*

*You might cache data in the DAL so that the DAL returns it from memory and not by hitting the DB again; so here we're caching "raw" data at the data level.

*The BL might cache similar data (say POCO's) - in other words "logical" data that has had BL applied to it; so here we're caching BL data in the BL level.

*Your UI might cache (you guessed it) information that is built at the UI layer - liek a presentation of data as a webpage, XML, etc.

When you look at caching, as the architect / designer of the system you'll make decisions about what things are worth caching, generally this will be driven by a need to balance:

*

*Performance needs to hit a specific target.

*What time (and cost) options you have.

Assuming we're caching to increase performance, you'll want to analyse your system and identify the bottlenecks that need to be removed or avoided - the first pass of this analysis should at least identify which layer to focus on first.
Another thing to consider is that the more you can cache closer to the consumer - the less overall processing there is that needs to occur; in otherwords, if you can cache at the UI layer then the BL and DAL layers won't even get a look-in (you won't need to add caching there).
At this point I want to ask you what exactly it is that you're trying to achieve.
While everything I've said is true (as far as I am aware) it's all based on the assumption that we're delivering "vertical" slices of the systems functionality (like "creating an invoice", "adding a product" etc); there's another model you can apply - the cross-cutting concerns model.
Think about something like logging - every part of you system (UI / BL / DAL) should be able to log system events; my favourite tool for this is the MS Enterprise Libraries (MSEntLibs).  When I work with them I consider them to be a "black-box" - a self contained unit.  I (by choice) have no idea how they are architected - the thing that is important is that they are isolated and have dependencies which are relativly easy to manage.
The MSEntLibs can log to a database, but if I call an MSEntLibs logging method (to log to the DB) direct from my UI (and skipping over my BL) I don't care.
So depending on what you're trying to do the right anmswer will either be:

*

*Simply identifying what needs to be cached at letting the appropriate layer handle it.

*You don't need to try using DI to pass stuff to you BL at all - a cross-cutting black-box component might be appropriate?

A 12-hour humanitarian truce went into effect on Saturday after Israel and Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip agreed to a UN request for a pause in fighting and efforts proceeded to secure a long-term ceasefire moved ahead.
The Gaza health ministry said 18 members of a single family were killed by Israeli tank shelling in the southern Gaza Strip shortly before the truce took effect at 8am. An Israeli military spokesperson said she was checking the report.
Israel's military said it would hold fire for 12 hours but would press on with its search for tunnels used by militants. A spokesperson for the Islamist group Hamas, which dominates Gaza, said all Palestinian factions would abide by the brief truce.
Hundreds of Palestinians poured into the streets in the minutes after the truce took force, some headed on foot to their homes to inspect damage from the Israeli assaults and many lined up outside banks to withdraw cash and stock up on supplies.
Fighting had continued overnight as US Secretary of State John Kerry, on a visit to the region, spearheaded international efforts to end 19 days of conflict in which 883 Palestinians, many of them civilians, have been killed.
Gaza officials said five people were killed in Israeli air strikes in the night and militants fired a barrage of rockets out of Gaza, triggering sirens across much of southern and central Israel.
No injuries were reported, with the Iron Dome interceptor system shooting down some of the projectiles.
Gaza Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf Al-Qidra said that 18 members of the Al-Najar family killed had been trapped inside their house in Khuzaa village east of Khan Younis since Thursday and that many others were wounded in Israeli tank shelling.
Israel said that two more of its soldiers were killed in Gaza, bringing the army death toll to 37, as troops battled militants in the north, east and south of Gaza - a tiny Mediterranean enclave that is home to 1.8-million Palestinians.
Three civilians have also been killed in Israel by rockets from Gaza – the kind of attack that surged last month amid Hamas's anger at a crackdown on its activists in the West Bank, prompting the July 8 launch of the Israeli offensive.
Diplomats will pursue efforts to secure a ceasefire in Paris on Saturday, with France hosting officials from the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy, the European Union, Turkey and Qatar, a French diplomatic source said.
Israel on Friday rejected international proposals for an extended ceasefire, a government source said, but Kerry, speaking in Cairo, said no formal proposals had yet been put forward.
The top US diplomat said there were still disagreements on the terminology, but he was confident there was a framework that would ultimately succeed and that "serious progress" had been made, although there was more work to do.
Hamas wants an end to an Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza before agreeing to halt hostilities. Israeli officials said any ceasefire must allow the military to carry on hunting down Hamas's tunnel network that criss-crosses the Gaza border.
Israel says some of the tunnels reach into Israel and are meant to carry out attack on Israelis. Other underground passages serve as weapon caches and serve as Hamas bunkers.
The Gaza turmoil has stoked tensions in east Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, some of which US-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas governs in uneasy coordination with Israel.
On Thursday night, 10 000 demonstrators marched in solidarity with Gaza near the Palestinian administrative capital Ramallah – a scale recalling mass revolts of the past.

Recent BMW vehicle fires unrelated to EGR system
By Yonhap
Published : Dec 3, 2019 - 11:03
Updated : Dec 3, 2019 - 11:03
South Korea's transport ministry said Tuesday that six recent cases of fires in BMW vehicles were not caused by problems in exhaust gas recirculation coolers and pipes.
The Transportation Safety Authority is looking into what caused fires in six BMW models -- 328i, 5GT, 640d, 525d, 320d and X6 -- from October to November.
(Yonhap)
"The government will make a thorough investigation into the cases to find out what exactly caused fires in the six models," the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said in a statement.
BMW has been struggling with declining sales in Korea since last year due to dozens of engine fires, mainly in the 520d model, and subsequent recalls.
The German carmaker said it has nearly completed the recall of its 171,000 BMW and MINI models in Korea to fix faulty EGR coolers and pipes.
BMW Korea, which sells vehicles under the BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brands, sold 42,813 vehicles in the January-October period, down 19 percent from 53,176 units a year earlier, according to the Korea Automobile Importers and Distributors Association. (Yonhap)

There has been a frenzy of M&A activity in the healthcare sector in the last five years, particularly in the physician medical group sector, as described in my earlier post The Changing Healthcare Landscape: Medical Practice Acquisitions (Part I).
Amid this acquisition frenzy, physicians anxious to merge and/or sell typically want to close their deals fast primarily for two reasons: Many see greener pastures ahead by aligning themselves with health systems that can afford to integrate and innovate, while many simply fear being left behind by Health Care Reform. Whatever the reason, physicians are jumping on the M&A train fast and not always with the requisite due diligence and foresight that selling a medical practice requires.
When closing these deals, it is important to ensure that physicians receive top dollar for their assets, which include long-standing relationships with patients not otherwise accessible to the acquiring health system. It is also important to ensure that physicians are entering into profitable leases with the acquiring health system for the practice real estate, which often is not acquired outright by the health system. Further, it is important to put in place appropriate professional service/employment agreements that take the physicians from independent professionals to employees of the acquiring health system. But those are far from the most important parts of the transaction. Practice acquisitions carry with them a shadow (with a long tail) that must receive equal attention. The fact of the matter is that the life of the acquired physician will not remain the same after the acquisition, even if the location, patients, and employees of the practice remain the same after the acquisition. And the anticipated changes cut deeper than simply operating under a new name.
Unfortunately, the onboarding of acquired physicians into the acquiring health system will often fail. The reasons are innumerable. The loss of independence can be intolerable for the physician who is used to operating his or her practice without dealing with the layered decision-making of a health system. Alternatively, the physician might have failed to ensure that there was true compatibility with the health system or the initial compatibility that existed between the parties might have ended when the acquiring entity is itself acquired by a third party. Further, innovation and ongoing M&A activity of the health system can have a significant impact on the philosophy of the practice, the business strategies, the management personnel, and the specialty focus, among other factors that can impact the physician's professional path and compensation. Under those circumstances, what is a physician with seller's remorse to do?
Predictably, as part of the deal, the physician will have entered into a non-compete that forbids the physician from coming anywhere near the practice or in any way recouping the patients for a period of time. Further, there will be non-solicitation provisions in the physician's service agreement with the health system that will preclude the physician from seeking to recoup his or her old staff. Even waiting around for the termination of these restrictions in order to start over is not a guarantee that the physician can resume his or her practice in the physician's building, given that the lease agreement with the health system likely commits the physician to landlord-status for an even lengthier period of time. In sum, it is very likely that the deal will not have left open for the physician the option of picking up where he or she left off prior to the acquisition. One would think physicians are aware of the foregoing before they consummate the sale, but often they are not. Perhaps they were not told by counsel. Perhaps they did not listen when they were told. All the same, it is an oppressive reality for a physician to wake-up to.
Certainly, no health system will consummate a medical practice acquisition without these restrictive provisions. However, safeguards can and should be built into these provisions which offer a cushion for the physicians that fall-out, as well as to dis-incent the health system from banishing the physician from his/her customary practice area should the relationship fail. For example, the geographical and duration restrictions of the non-competes can be tiered based on length of service or reason for separation. Further, severance agreement formulas commensurate with future loss can be negotiated and built into the service/employment agreement between the physician and the acquiring system. Likewise, leases treated like separate transactions can contain lease-out provisions and can be coordinated and be dependent upon continuation of the physician's employment agreement with the health system.
These and other safeguards require serious thinking about the shadow the deal leaves behind, as well as thoughtful analysis and counsel regarding the rewards and risks faced by the physician through and after the acquisition. Sure, insisting on safeguards that protect the physician long term might cause a deal to fail, but that, in-and-of-itself, is a sign that the marriage should not happen in the first place. Of course, there are times when a health system will not budge in the restrictions and the deal happens anyway. But a physician who choses to jump into the marriage under those circumstances at least does so with his or her eyes open and can, at a minimum, consider front-loaded solutions that might compensate the physician for the risk. Regardless, no good union between a health system and a medical practice can be born without this give-and-take.


When Brett Conroy encountered the makers of a watermelon side table he'd seen in the pages of Dwell magazine – celebrated Minneapolis furniture designers Blu Dot – that he realised that we needed its aesthetic in Australia.
After visiting Blu Dot showroom in Soho, Conroy set about bringing the brand to Sydney, using his fortunate background of design and logistics. This location opened in 2013, just the third in the world after New York and Los Angeles.
Blu Dot's pieces combine the elegance of mid-century modernist design with a level of functionality that suits small-scale living – whether in a Manhattan loft or a terrace in Sydney or Melbourne. Best of all, the pieces are accompanied by a price tag that's accessible, not aspirational.
If you've ever questioned what's possible when a designer assumes complete control of the process, all you need to do is look around. The space is punctuated with svelte couches in persimmon and dusty teal; coffee tables allude to sculpture while remaining fiercely practical and sleek; modular shelving units spin magic with space. Each piece strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and complexity – a hallmark of good design.

Q: Returning results with matching first characters from stored procedure in mySQL I have added a DocumentListener to a JTextField, searchField, so that a stored procedure is called each time the user types in or deletes a character in searchField.
I would like the stored procedure to return rows where the value in a column matches the typed in characters and their order. Say I have a table.column FirstName with value "Pete". If the user types in "P", it should return "Pete", if the user types in "Pe", it should return "Pete" and so forth. But if the user just type in "e" it shouldn't return "Pete". I know there might be performance issues here, but the table is unlikely to contain more than 5000 rows, so I guess that won't be a problem.
So far I have something like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE search (IN something VARCHAR(45))
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM Folks
WHERE FirstName LIKE CONCAT("%", something, "%")
END;

However, it only returns everyone by the name of let's say "Pete", but does not return everyone starting with "P", "Pe" and so forth. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

A: Use:
WHERE FirstName LIKE CONCAT(something, "%")

Leave out the % at the beginning, so it has to match the beginning exactly.

A pathocracy is a totalitarian form of government in which absolute political power is held by a psychopathic elite, and their effect on the people is such that the entire society is ruled and motivated by purely pathological values.
The term pathocracy was created by Polish psychologist Dr. Andrzej M. Łobaczewski as a result of his study of ponerology. The word reflects Lobaczewski's treatment of the phenomenon as something analogous to a disease or pathology, on a macrosocial level.
The book by Andrew M. Lobaczewski that coined the term pathocracy: Political Ponerology.
Yes, we need more gun control. Yes, we need free mental health services in this country. But I really believe that even if we had better gun control laws and better mental health, that we would still be the sort of sick and twisted, violent people that we've been for hundreds of years, that it's something that's just in our craw, just in our DNA.
Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy: American Extremists: "The killer elite"

Background. There is a paucity of empirical literature in Ghana on rural areas and their utilisation of health facilities. The study examined the effects of the sociodemographics of rural women on place of delivery in the country. Methods. The paper made use of data from the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey. Women from rural areas who had given birth within five years prior to the survey were included in the analysis. Descriptive analyses and binary logistic regression were used to analyse the data. Results. Wealth, maternal education, ecological zone, getting money for treatment, ethnicity, partner's education, parity, and distance to a health facility were found as the determinants of place of delivery among women in rural Ghana. Women in the richest wealth quintile were three times (OR = 3.04, 95% CI = 0.35–26.4) more likely to deliver at a health facility than the poorest women. Conclusions. It behoves the relevant stakeholders including the Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health to pay attention to the wealth status, maternal education, ecological zone, ethnicity, partner's education, parity, and distance in their planning regarding delivery care in rural Ghana.
Although advancements have been made in medical care and public health, about 830 women died every day as a result of complications related to pregnancy and childbirth in 2015 . Of this, 180 occurred in Southern Asia and 550 in sub-Saharan Africa, compared to just five in developed countries. Maternal mortality is thus considered the leading cause of death among females aged 15–49 years worldwide and particularly in developing countries [2, 3]. World Health Organisation, for instance, noted that 99% of all maternal deaths occur in developing countries .
Most of these deaths are concentrated around the time of delivery  and their major causes are obstructed labour, sepsis, haemorrhage, and hypertensive disorders . Lwelamira and Safari  opined that most of the recorded maternal deaths were avoidable if timely skilled delivery services were provided to the women. Moreover, readily accessible and appropriate care in case of complications and effective postnatal care within the first 24 hours of delivery are strategies that can be put in place to reduce the high maternal deaths recorded in developing countries . However, a significant proportion of women in developing countries does not have the opportunity of giving birth with skilled assistance and at health facilities . Utilisation of health facilities is influenced by several factors including availability, distance, cost, quality, socioeconomic factors, and personal health beliefs .
Wide disparities usually exist between urban and rural areas in the utilisation of health facilities, with rural areas being the disadvantaged . Alemayehu and Mekonnen  in an Ethiopian study, for instance, found that health facility delivery was 7.15 times more likely to be used by urban residents compared to residents in rural areas. When other confounding sociodemographic variables were controlled, the adjusted odds of health facility use at delivery were 5.46 times higher among urban residents compared to the rural residents.
In Ghana, the distribution of health care facilities is skewed towards urban areas . Over 65% of medical doctors in the country are concentrated in two urban-based teaching hospitals: Komfo Anokye in Kumasi and Korle Bu in Accra . In the Ashanti Region, one of ten regions in the country, medical doctors in the Kumasi Metropolis alone constitute over 85% of all medical doctors in that region . The medical doctors mainly refuse posting to rural areas, even with extra remuneration packages. and this is due to poor environmental conditions and inadequate social infrastructure in the rural areas . The skewed distribution pattern of health facilities in favour of urban areas also reflects their utilisation rate between the rural and urban areas . This condition is expedited by the fact that distance is an important determinant of health facility use [11, 13, 14]. Buor  also conducted a comparative analysis of health services utilisation in rural and urban areas in Ghana and identified the major determinants of health service utilisation in urban areas as distance, service cost, health status, and quality of service. In rural areas, the author also identified distance, service cost, education, and income .
The 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey shows that regarding service utilisation rates, even though there have been increases in antenatal and postnatal care, as well as delivery care, disparities still exist between rural and urban areas with the rural areas being the disadvantaged . Concerning antenatal care, for instance, even though it is at a universal coverage, the percentage of women receiving antenatal care from a skilled provider stood at 98.6% for urban areas while that of rural areas was 96.2% . With delivery care, while 90.2% of women in urban Ghana delivered in a health facility with just 9.4% doing so at home and the rest 0.4% at "other" places, in rural Ghana 59% delivered in health facilities while 40.6% did so at home and 0.4% at "other" places . With postnatal care, in urban Ghana, 90.2% of women had a postnatal checkup in the first two days after birth. In rural Ghana, however, 73.9% of women who gave birth went for a postnatal checkup in the first two days after birth . It was also realised that while women with no postnatal checkup constituted 7% in urban Ghana, 21.4% of women in rural Ghana did not have any postnatal checkup after birth .
Despite the fact that rural areas lag behind urban areas in terms of health facility use which has implications for maternal mortality in those areas, there appears to be a paucity of empirical literature in Ghana with focus on rural areas and their utilisation of health facilities. This paper, therefore, examines the relationship between the sociodemographic background of women and their choices of the place of delivery. The study contributes to the existing literature on skilled delivery among women in reproductive age in the country by outlining the sociodemographic predictors of choice of place of delivery in the country.
The republic of Ghana is centrally located on the West African Coast and has a total land area of 238,533 square kilometers. Ghana is a low-lying country except for a series of hills on the eastern border and Mountain Afadjato, the maximum point (883 metres) above sea level which is west of Volta Region. Ghana can be divided into three ecological zones, namely, Savannah zone, Forest Zone, and the Sandy Coastline backed by coastal plains (coastal zone). The dominant ethnic groups in the country are Akan (47.5%), Mole-Dagbani (16.6%), Ewe (13.9%), Ga–Dangme (7.4%), Gurma (5.7%), Guan (3.7%), Grusi (2.5%), other (1.4%), and Mande (1.1%) . Ghana has about 51 percent of its population in urban areas and 49 percent in rural areas. There are 3217 functional health facilities, out of which 4 are teaching hospitals. There are also 9 regional hospitals, 3 psychiatric hospitals, 11 polyclinics, 59 Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) hospitals, 10 Islamic hospitals, 96 government hospitals, 156 private hospitals, and 22 quasi-government hospitals. The majority of these health facilities are found in the urban areas .
The study made use of secondary data from the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS). The GDHS is a nationwide survey which is conducted by the Ghana Statistical Service and the Ghana Health Service with technical support from ICF International through the MEASURE DHS program. The GDHS focuses on child and maternal health and is designed to provide adequate data to monitor the population and health situation in the country. GDHS gathers information on various demographic and health variables including maternal care, fertility, contraception, child health, family planning, HIV and AIDS, nutrition, and malaria. A total of 9,396 women, ages 15–49, from 12,831 households covering 427 clusters throughout Ghana were interviewed. The survey had a response rate of 97%. Our study, however, focused on women in rural areas: a sample of 2,278. Since preexisting data was used, ethical clearance was not required. Permission to use the data was obtained from MEASURE DHS after assessment of the proposal. The dataset is available at http://www.measuredhs.com.
The study made use of secondary data from Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS) which has a standard questionnaire. Ethnicity was based on the types of ethnic groups in Ghana and the distance to a health facility was based on whether the respondent considered the distance from her home to the health facility as a problem. All the variables were based on the standard questionnaires of GDHS.
In the 2014 GDHS report, information on place of delivery was only presented descriptively on the rural-urban dichotomy. Our study, therefore, provides extra information on place of delivery in the country as an added value of further analysis of the GDHS by focusing on only rural areas which were found in the survey to have been disadvantaged in terms of health facility delivery. Our study also provides statistical information on the factors which influence the place of delivery among rural women in the country.
The outcome variable employed for this study was place of delivery. It was coded 0 = "home" and 1 = "health facility" since it was a dichotomous variable. A discrete choice model was employed to show how the explanatory variables correlated with the outcome variable. Specifically, the binary logistic regression was employed since it allows the predictions on a mixture of continuous and categorical variables.
Nine explanatory variables were used: maternal age, wealth index, educational level, ecological zone, getting money for treatment, ethnicity, parity (birth order), partner's education, and distance to a health facility. Ecological zone was created by collapsing the ten regions into three: Central, Western, Greater Accra, and Volta as the Coastal zone; Ashanti, Eastern, and Brong-Ahafo were classified as the Forest zone, while the Upper East, Northern, and Upper West regions were grouped as the Savannah zone. The Coastal, Forest, and Savannah zones are established ecological zones in Ghana.
Parity (birth order) was categorised as one birth, two births, three births, and four births or more. Maternal age was categorized into 15–19, 20–24, 25–29, 30–34, 35–39, 40–44, and 45–49. Education was classified into four categories: no education, primary education, secondary education, and higher education. Distance to a health facility was categorised as big problem and not a big problem. Ethnicity was grouped as Akan, Ga/Dangme, Ewe, Guan, Mole–Dagbani, Grusi, Gruma, Mande, and other. Partner's education was classified into four categories: no education, primary education, secondary education, and higher education. The wealth index was grouped as poorest, poorer, middle, richer, and richest. Getting money for treatment was captured as big problem and not a big problem.
The explanatory variables used in the analysis were purposively selected based on previous literature. Chi-square test was done in Table 1 to check if they were significantly associated with the outcome variable; those variables that were significantly related were then used in the multivariate regression analysis. All results were weighted to offset the biases of under and oversampling as well as reporting associated with national surveys. All analyses were conducted using STATA, version 13.
Table 1: Background characteristics and place of delivery.
Table 1 presents the places of delivery based on sociodemographic characteristics. Eight of the explanatory variables showed significant univariate associations with the dependent variable: wealth index, maternal education, ecological zone, getting money for treatment, ethnicity, partner's education, parity, and distance to a health facility. It was observed that women aged 45–49 years had the highest proportion of home delivery (51.2%). While the poorest had a 46.3% proportion of health facility delivery, the richest had 91.6%.
The choice of health facility for delivery was found to have increased by the level of education attained by the women and their partners. Regarding ecological zone, women from the savannah zone had the highest proportion of home deliveries (52.7%) compared to women from the forest zone who had the highest proportion of health facility delivery (65.6%). Women who had a big problem getting the money needed for treatment (46%), Gurmas (73.9%), women with four births or more (46.1%), and those who saw distance to a health facility as a big problem (51.8%) had the highest proportions of births delivered at home.
Table 2 presents results of the binary logistic regression conducted for place of delivery and the explanatory variables. The results show significant unique contributions of education (primary, secondary, and higher), wealth status (middle, richer), parity (four births or more), partner's education (primary, secondary, and higher), distance to health facility (not a big problem), ecological zone (forest, savannah), and ethnicity (Mole–Dagbani, Grusi, and Gurma) on place of delivery. Women in the richer (OR = 4.72, 95% CI = 2.42–9.21) and richest (OR = 3.28, 95% CI = 0.38–28.27) wealth quintiles were four and three times, respectively, more likely to deliver at a health facility than women in the poorest wealth quintile. Those with two births (OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.57–1.16), three births (OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.56–1.12), and four birth or more (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.49–0.90) were all less likely to deliver in a health facility compared with those with one birth. It was also realised that the higher the level of education of partner, the more likely it was for women to deliver in a health facility. Women in the forest (OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.04–1.72) and savannah (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 0.95–1.97) zones were also more likely to deliver in a health facility than those in the coastal zone. Women who did not consider distance to health facilities as a big problem were more likely to deliver in a health facility compared with those who considered distance as a big problem (OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.27–1.93).
Table 2: Binary logistic regression on place of delivery among women in Ghana.
Childbearing is an important event in the life of most women and is positively associated with the ultimate goals of happiness, completeness, and family integration . The place of delivery chosen by women is therefore very important with health facility being the most ideal . Our study indicates that various factors impact the choice of women regarding the place of delivery, some of which are out of their control.
Our findings show that wealth plays an important role in the choice of place of delivery among women in rural Ghana. We realised, for instance, that health facility delivery mainly favoured the rich in both the descriptive and the inferential analyses conducted. For instance, the richest women were three times more likely to deliver at a health facility than the poorest ones. This finding is in line with previous findings regarding the choice of place of delivery and the disparity between poor and rich women with regard to health facility delivery [5, 20–22].
The findings where the poorest women had the worst utilisation of health care facilities for delivery were probably because they have to pay for health care, which is usually problematic for them as argued by Amu and Dickson . The authors noted that even though Ghana's National Health Insurance Scheme, introduced in 2003, was designed to be pro-poor, many of the poor are unable to subscribe to the scheme due to their inability to afford annual premiums required to access health care free of all charges at the point of service delivery.
The role of wealth in predicting place of delivery among rural women is also corroborated by our findings which showed that women who said getting the money needed for treatment was a big problem were less likely to deliver at a health facility than those who said getting the money needed for treatment was not a big problem.
We found that rural women in the coastal zone had the least probability of delivering in a health facility while those in the savannah zone had the highest probability. Our findings, therefore, debunk assertions that utilisation of health care services including delivery care is more prevalent in Coastal Ghana than in Savannah Ghana . This finding may be due to the differential access and experiences with higher standards of care, largely in the private sector as experienced in the coastal zone , while being less likely to be experienced in any of the regions constituting the savannah zone .
The findings may also be due to the fact that as women in the coastal zone usually experience the multiplicity of health facilities, their perception of the quality of maternal health care services provided to them becomes negative due to negative attitude of staff towards them, shortage of qualified staff, and a lack of essential logistics such as drugs and resuscitation materials necessary for emergency obstetric care as argued in previews studies [3, 19, 27].
Our results also point to the significant role played by education in the choices women make regarding the place of delivery. Thus, it was realised that the probability of giving birth at a health facility increased by education, not only for the women but also for their partners. These findings are thus in congruence with previous studies which found education as a strong determinant of health care service and facility use [23, 28–30]. The fact that partner's education predicted the choice of place of delivery among the women, however, supports the argument that men usually control decision-making in the home, including women's health decision-making [31, 32].
Women who considered distance to a health facility as a big problem were found to have been less likely to actually deliver at a health facility compared with those who did not consider distance as a big problem. This points to long distances that are usually travelled by rural women in order to access maternal health care as found in previous studies [23, 27]. Roads in these rural areas are also mainly in a deplorable state [33, 34]. As such, women who could not afford the cost of transportation which is expensive due to the bad nature of the road  had no option but to deliver at home as realised in previous studies .
Our findings which showed that women with one birth were more likely to utilise health facilities at delivery than those with two or more births confirm Umurungi's  argument that women with one birth are usually more likely to deliver their next births at a health facility. This may be due to the fact that primiparous women are considered to be naturally at a higher risk of maternal complications than multiparous women . As such, they access health facility delivery more than multiparous women . The high proportion of home deliveries realised among multiparous women may be due to their preference for Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) as posited by Ntambue et al. . The authors argued that TBAs were preferred because they are considered as being more caring and friendly and also provide complementary services such as food and bathing water to the women when they give birth to them compared to their health facility deliveries.
Despite the significant findings made in our study, the limitation of the data used is worth mentioning. Thus, by relying on a cross-sectional data, it is impossible to account for unobserved heterogeneity. Moreover, associations found between the dependent and the explanatory variables may vary over time.
We found that wealth index, maternal education, ecological zone, getting money for treatment, ethnicity, partner's education, parity, and distance to a health facility are the determinants of place of delivery among women in rural Ghana. It thus behoves the relevant stakeholders including the Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health to pay attention to these demographics in their decisions regarding delivery care in rural Ghana, which includes citing of health facilities and public education on the need for health facility delivery. Specifically, considerations should be given to the poor, multiparous women, those with no or low levels of education, and coastal dwellers (Volta, Greater Accra, Central and Western regions).

Episode 158: The Glastonbury Flashback
This week we turn our attention to a flurry of recent awards news, as the recipients of this year's Honorary Oscars were announced, and several countries have submitted their entries for this year's Foreign Language Film contest. We pay tribute to the late great Wes Craven, while Cal uncorks a trio of European classics in the latest edition of the Red Light District, featuring discussion of Francois Truffaut and Vittorio De Sica. The week's reviews include Andrew Haigh's tense marital drama "45 Years" and Jonathan Demme's rock star romp "Ricki and the Flash," while Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart were reunited in action comedy "American Ultra," and Jafar Panahi managed to get another film made ("Closed Curtain") despite being a prisoner in his own home. Elsewhere, we discuss Charlotte Rampling's incredible decade-and-a-half, Kristen Stewart's hair dye does the trick, and there's trepidation for double-Tom Hardy in next week's Krays film.

Episode 116: The Decoy Tots [The Giver; Magic in the Moonlight; A Walk Among the Tombstones]

Episode 116: The Decoy Tots
After last week's super-long episode, we lament Cal's laissez faire approach to editing, but this edition managed to sail under the ninety-minute mark fairly smoothly. The Red Light District is back, as we discuss films starring Nina Hoss and Richard Burton, a dishonest Dogme flick, plus Cal's return to awards completion gets us analysing two Best Actress Oscar races, one of which features one of the biggest snubs of all time. New releases include baseball underdog drama "Million Dollar Arm," of which the MVP was plain for both of us to see, and Woody Allen's "Magic in the Moonlight," which Pete unsurprisingly snubbed. There's also Liam Neeson thriller "A Walk Among the Tombstones," and Philip Noyce's "The Giver," which Pete managed to smear in innuendo and spend forever on divulging the plot of. Taylor Swift's presence in the film forces both of us to admit some admiration for her lyrical hand, while her likeness to a famously jilted tennis player instigates discussion of a disastrous celebrity relationship. Elsewhere, there's a postponed Joe Wright rant from last week, Pete's parents' holiday snaps struggle to emulate Michael Ballhaus, and the natural charm of one of this week's actresses leads to a new qualification in the Olsen Factor.

Episode 110: Past the Magenta
Pete's antics in Ibiza are over, so the podcast returns from a fortnightly break, bringing with it five films, and some extremely early news of Foreign Language Oscar submissions. The French are represented well this week, led off by Agnes Jaoui's fairytale-inspired "Under the Rainbow" and followed up by Michel Gondry's eccentric "Mood Indigo," but did the fantasy aspects of both films draw us in or have us running for the hills? Life is far from a fairytale in Abel Ferrara's political drama "Welcome to New York," in which we see far too much of Gerard Depardieu, while the presence of a famous cinematic villain of the past in gay drama "Lilting" ensures that it isn't just The Ben Whishaw Show. All that, plus we finally catch up with Marvel's mega financial and critical hit "Guardians of the Galaxy," with all eyes on one guy in particular. Elsewhere, Pete dares to liken a Larry Olivier film to the Twilight series, we discuss how Colin Firth's eagerness towards a certain leading lady was wholly inappropriate in the context, and one of the reviews inexplicably leads us to reminisce about the days of Craig David and S Club 7. No, really.

The Llyn Peninsula has it all, whatever discipline you like to use or like me you try a bit of everything and often at the same time too.
Rigid rocky outcrops, sandy beaches, and rough ground is available. Being out to the west the wind is almost always present, not always in a bad way. People like to fish the rock marks so it's something to take into consideration with the ground swell.
We quite often see porpoise close to the shore off some of the rock marks which is always a pleasure to see. Seals which a lot of anglers are wary of are a regular occurrence, I personally don't mind them or think they affect the fishing much.
The Llyn Peninsula also has a renowned bream hotspot as well as soon great bass fishing. There are a few spots you can target tope from the shore too.
