stc Group CEO highlights central role of Kingdom's infrastructure during pandemic
Eng. Nasser Sulaiman Al Nasser, stc Group CEO, has said that he is proud of the Kingdom's infrastructure in the way that it helped the country contain the repercussions of the Corona crisis on the economy.
Al Nasser believes that their investment in the digital infrastructure a long time ago has in fact enabled the Kingdom's telecom sector to play an instrumental role during this crisis.
"I am proud of our country's achievements in facing these circumstances we are living. This crisis never put our lives on hold; it enriched our creative ideas and we dedicated all kinds of technology to the service of our Kingdom, citizens and residents. We can all appreciate the role of digital technology in enriching people's lives and its effective role in combating disease. We have drones that take the temperature of mall visitors and we offer remote healthcare services for patients," said Al Nasser.
Al Nasser made this statement while taking part in the launch of the workshops of the Hope Hackathon workshop launched by theDeputy Minister at the Ministry Of Communications And Information Technology, Dr. Ahmed Al Thenayan.
At the end of last April, the Ministry Of Communications and Information Technology launched the Hope Hackathon in a strategic cooperation with the Saudi Federation for Electronic and Intellectual Sports and stc to create new innovative business models and come up with solutions to overcome the current crisis and face future ones. The Hackathon aims to promote digital innovations and highlight the digital capabilities of youth worldwide to face the Coronavirus pandemic.
Al Nasser added, "Our partnership in the International Hope Hackathon for which prizes will reach USD 1 million to develop creative ideas is a reflection of our approach. We have dedicated ourselves to supporting creativity and creative people around the world". He reiterated the Group's commitment to its strategy that supports innovation in the field of digital and smart solutions and to dedicating all its capabilities to bring such innovations to life.
He pointed out that this is the best time to invest in creative ideas for innovative, unique technological solutions while people are staying home as part of the precautionary measures taken to limit the spread of Coronavirus. Al Nasser called upon participants in the Hackathon to come up with digital innovations that could help humanity and to apply the quality of life concept effectively and keep abreast of the challenges facing us.
Al Nasser said that stc has been a pioneer in supporting entrepreneurs and start-up owners through its InspireU program that supported many successful projects which introduced education, health and marketing applications. He added that stc's latest partnerships in this field were the fruit of its program to promote local content "Rawafed".
"Being the leading digital enabler in the Kingdom, stc has a responsibility to actively contribute to the Kingdom's digital economy. I hope that we will continue to support innovators and their projects and that this kind of event will help them achieve their dreams and turn them into reality. Indeed, creativity has no limits," Al Nasser continued.
The group CEO congratulated all Hackathon participants and commended their commitment to providing exceptional solutions and innovations. He also thanked the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and the Quality of Life Program as well as all those who lent their support to this event.

The Government's new Tax Free Childcare Scheme is replacing the current Childcare Voucher Scheme, so the Childcare Voucher Scheme will close to new joiners soon. If you're a working parent it's really important to understand how both schemes work, so you can decide which one is best for you.
If you're not currently taking part in the Childcare Voucher Scheme through the Co-op, and you want to join, you must apply online no later than 5pm on 23 February so that your salary reductions have started by the March payroll (before the deadline date of 5 April 2018). You need to apply through the Co-op Flexible Benefits (Mid Counties) website.
If you've joined the Childcare Voucher Scheme through the Co-op and your payroll reductions are currently paused or suspended, you must restart these by the March payroll, or you'll be classed as having left the scheme.
If you're not taking part in the Childcare Voucher Scheme on 5 April, you won't be able to join it in the future. However, subject to eligibility, you'll be able to apply to join the Government's new Tax Free Childcare Scheme.
I am currently signed up to the current voucher scheme and sacrifice the full £220 pcm, do I have the option to stay on this scheme? if so, how can I work out which scheme will offer me best value for money?
Hi Ray. If you're in the current voucher scheme you can stay in it until your children reach maximum eligible age. Under the Government's rules, if you leave the voucher scheme at any point in the future you wouldn't be able to re-join it. However (subject to eligibility) you would be able to join the new Tax Free Childcare Scheme.
It's obviously an individual decision as to which scheme is best for you. The helpline will be able to tell you more: 0800 458 7929 (9am-5pm Monday to Friday) or email info@taxfreechildcare.co.uk.
hi what is the voucher scheme?
Hi Roseann. The current Childcare Voucher Scheme lets eligible colleagues buy Childcare Vouchers worth up to £55 per week through their salary, exempt from tax and National Insurance. The vouchers can be used with approved childcare providers.
The Government has introduced a new Tax Free Childcare Scheme which has different rules and benefits. If you want to join the older Childcare Voucher Scheme, you must apply by 17:00 on Friday 23rd February 2018, otherwise your option will be to join the new Tax Free Childcare Scheme. Check out the links above to find out more. Rob.
Hi Roseann. The Voucher Scheme is a Salary Sacrifice, which allows you to save the tax and National Insurance on the salary you sacrifice in exchange for childcare vouchers. The scheme will close to new members from April, which is why you would need to join now. For more information, go to the Benefits portal (www.coop.co.uk/benefits) and/or contact Co-op Flexible Benefits, our supplier, as shown above.

Picking up the Baton in L.A.
Philharmonic's new conductor wants to help audiences `grow musically'
By Daniel B. Wood Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
CHALK one up for the Southern California youth culture. Last week the Los Angeles Philharmonic announced that Esa-Pekka Salonen, a 31-year-old Finnish conductor/composer, would become the orchestra's music director in 1992. The appointment is being seen, at least partially, as a return to the energy, vitality, and podium passion known here in the 1960s under Zubin Mehta, who was appointed music director in 1962 at age 26.
The exuberant Mr. Salonen has a known penchant for the big, the splashy, and the sometimes controversial, and a desire for music that audiences can't hum by composers whose names they can't pronounce.
``He's the most up-and-coming conductor of his generation,'' says Byron Belt, a San Francisco-based music critic-at-large. ``It's a coup that they got him.''
``The first thing I am going to do is try to know more about contemporary American composers,'' says Salonen in Monitor interview, adding that neither he nor most European audiences are familiar with such music.
Enroute following the announcement here for musical duties in Finland, Salonen says he will be scouring L.A. Phil programs for the past 10 years to be sure to enliven the future mix.
Ernest Fleischmann, the Philharmonic's executive director, first saw Salonen in 1983 and began courting him immediately. The young conductor debuted here the following year. He was to have been named principal guest conductor of the orchestra last season, but in one of the teritorial/artistic disputes that allegedly led to the resignation of the L.A. Philharmonic's present music director, Andre Previn, the plan was abandoned.
Salonen will be the 11th music director in the 70-year history of the orchestra, almost all of whom were foreign-born. After 16 years with the Bombay-born Zubin Mehta at the helm, the orchestra opted for Italian conductor Carlo Maria Giulini, then Previn. Though there was no lack of fire with the commanding 6-ft., 4-in. Guilini, the appellation, ``mouse-tro'' had been applied to the diminutive Previn.
``I seem to underconduct,'' Previn told this writer two years ago, but ``I find ... that if you jump up and down, they don't play any louder. So what's the point?''
At least one goal for the Philharmonic has been to fill its dwindling Thursday-night subscription series, which has been lambasted in the press for its lack of excitement.
Salonen has dark blond hair, a slight, athletic build, and flashy appeal. Known only by recordings and isolated guest-conducting stints in the US, he is described by those who have seen him in action as possessing a rare, immediate appeal to audience and orchestra, both in outward flair and musical depth.
In his initial contact here with the press, Salonen was very shy, and spoke nervously - reminding onlookers that English is not his native tongue. His earnestness and erudition seem to exceed his years, but he can easily be made to break into a boyish grin replete with full, dimpled cheeks.
The key to galvanizing an audience, Salonen says, is galvanizing the orchestra. Not wanting to frighten regular subscribers used to the old warhorses by Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, Salonen says the placement of new music on a program ``is not a question of quantity but of choosing very good works to be presented in proper context. Then they will have much more positive appeal in helping audiences grow musically than in just playing contemporary music day to day without focus.'' He says he wants to find a theme, present a few composers he believes in, and ``let the music speak for itself.''
He has been quoted as saying, ``It's very hard for me to understand why everybody's first priority isn't music that has just been composed.'' But when questioned about whether there was a proven audience for new music, he distances himself from the statement: ``I was just saying that to be provocative,'' he notes with a laugh.
Provocation itself is one role of music, he says. Another is spiritual. Those contemporary composers who meet his dual definition are Berio, Messiaen, Lutoslawski, Boulez, and Xenakis, among others. He has recorded Strauss, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Nielsen, Sibelius, Tomasi, and Jolivet. He wants to get to know American contemporary music between the two poles of Eliot Carter and John Adams, both of whom he has performed.
``My experience is that you have to combine things in a way that shows contemporary music is a result of certain historical and stylistic developments in traditional or older music,'' he says. ``If you manage to create combinations that are interesting enough, then it works in terms of attracting audiences.''
A virtual unknown five years ago, Salonen splashed onto the international scene as a first-class replacement for Michael Tilson Thomas, leading the London Philharmonia Orchestra in Mahler's fearsome Third Symphony on only five days' notice. Since then he has led the orchestras of West Berlin, New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Paris, Montreal, Minneapolis, and Washington.
He was known to be on the short list of candidates to fill the New York Philharmonic post being vacated by Zubin Mehta and the Berlin Philharmonic post vacated by the late Herbert von Karajan, both still open at this writing.
After Previn's precipitate resignation in April, allegedly over ``artistic differences,'' much has been made of the orchestra musicians' role in searching for and signing a new music director.
The embattled Mr. Fleischmann stressed that the decision had rare unanimous appeal. ``We must relish the moment,'' he told the press corps last week, noting that such cooperation between musicians and management ``may not happen again.''
Musicians and other Philharmonic insiders, however, say the orchestra is divided over the Salonen choice, with some feeling that the new director is ``Ernest's man,'' and the choice is just one more example of his autocratic control. Some are resisting the appointment for this reason, even though they respect the young Finn.
Salonen's initial contract calls for 16 weeks with the orchestra in three seasons, beginning in 1992. The commitment includes recordings, summer fare at the Hollywood Bowl, and touring. Until then, he functions under the title ``music director-designate,'' with an active role in future season planning, auditions, and selection of guest soloists and conductors. He will have some say in the planning of Disney Hall, the L.A. Phil's new Frank Gehry-designed concert hall, to open in 1994. And he has expressed interest in conducting opera as well.
Born in Helsinki, he studied French horn and composition at the Sibelius Academy from 1973 to '77. He continued studies in Italy until 1983, returning to Finland to become guest conductor at the Finnish National Opera.
He has served as principal conductor of the Swedish Radio Symphony and since 1985 as principal guest conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra in London. He is also principal guest conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic. He will continue his post with the Swedish Radio Symphony when he assumes the L.A. Phil reins.
He is also a composer of works ranging from ``Aubades'' for flute, soprano, and strings to ``YTA 1'' for amplified alto flute. He says he will program his own works here if the audiences allow.
One of his priorities is to strenghten the relationship between himself and the Philharmonic's principal guest conductor, Simon Rattle.
It is also expected that Salonen, by 1992, will have to rescue the orchestra from rudderlessness engendered by shared musical influence with Previn until then. Previn will be conducting an average of six weeks per season. Salonen will have only one week in the coming season, and four each season after that.

Welcome to our December Blogger of the Month interview! Each month we'll be interviewing a different Cotswold Blogger who'll be sharing the story of how they got into blogging, their top blogging tips and their Cotswolds favourites. And this month is lifestyle blogger Kim from Life Can Be Toff, who writes about her adventures in the Cotswold countryside, from days out and restaurants to product reviews.
I'm Kim, I'm a year off my mid-30s (shhhh!) and am the owner of Life can be Toff, a lifestyle blog that follows my life in the Cotswold countryside. I've been blogging for a year.
I don't blog full time, I don't have enough hours left over in the day to do that! My official job is as an office manager for a membership organisation with my office covering the South West of England. My job provides me with the perfect opportunity to see many interesting places and meet many interesting people – much of which I blog about. More recently, I've been giving a temporary promotion to become Communications Manager, and am looking forward to tackling my new role.
Outside of my day job, I work for my landlords who own a beautiful countryside pile with pool and ponies, much of which I get to enjoy too. I love to blog about days out and in particular both mine and my boyfriend's passion, cars. I love food and eating out, sharing recipes and my future goals.
I live just outside of Tetbury. I moved here three years ago in October 2014, after my long-term relationship had broken down. For the first time since I was 18, I was going to be living on my own – the thought terrified me! Prior to the Cotswolds, I'd lived in Wiltshire and, before that, Wales.
Café 53 in Tetbury – does the most amazing chocolate Guinness cake and they claim to do the best coffee in Tetbury, I can't disagree.
Westonbirt Arboretum – at any time of year this place is beautiful.
Blenheim Palace – I only recently managed to get here and, oh my, what have I been missing out on all these years? What an amazing place.
Made by Bob in Cirencester – I've only managed to come here the once so far but that once was enough to leave a lasting memory. Beautiful food, and I got to enjoy the experience with my mum.
Tetbury in general – I can spend hours and hours searching the antique shops in Tetbury and walking through the town. I love living so close.
My friends and family were constantly telling me I needed to do some kind of book or something about my life and work. I get to see so many interesting places and hear the most fantastically funny things that it seemed a shame not to share it, so I started to blog. As time has gone on, I find myself looking to branch out in to other areas of blogging as there is only so much of me falling off horses and covering myself in horse pooh I can blog about!
The best thing about being a blogger, for me, is getting to share my stories, share my favourite places to eat, drink and just have a wander around.
My biggest frustration? How slow it takes to build up. I'm generally not a very patient person so the fact that I've spent so long putting as much effort as I have into my blog shows my commitment, but I wish sometimes that I was able to log into my WordPress account and see that 100 people have read a post, rather than my usual 15–20. I know that it will get better, but I wish it was quicker!
As mentioned above, don't expect miracles overnight. It takes time to build up a following, so if you enjoy it, stick with it. Also, don't blog for the sake of blogging, if you're not passionate about what you're writing about, it will reflect in the work you produce.
Now I'm starting to gain momentum, I really value the advice and guidance of other bloggers, particularly the Cotswold Bloggers and Influencers group. I also really enjoy taking part in blog hours on Twitter. I have come to really love Twitter!
Ladies What Travel – I'm so jealous of the travel shenanigans of these ladies!
Champagne and Petals – wedding and lifestyle blog.
Modern Mrs Darcy – book blogger.
Wow, I have so many plans in moving forward, but in the next year, I'd really like to have the time to dedicate more time to seeing places and doing things and blogging about them. I'd also like to introduce more travel into my blog. In the future, a quirky range of stationery centred around the whole 'Life can be Toff' theme.
Thanks Kim for being our December blogger of the month!
You can follow her adventures at Life Can be Toff or on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

How to get a job in the public health field
Public health jobs have never been more important than they are today, but they are still largely in the realm of speculation.
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Human Resources Office, which administers the federal job posting system, says the agency is not currently accepting new applications for public health roles.
Instead, it has opened a job search portal for health-related jobs.
But that is just the beginning.
The agency has begun to recruit for positions that are still open in the field.
The NSF is accepting applications for the following positions: Associate Professor of Public Health (Public Health Sciences) (University of Colorado-Denver), Public Health Specialist (PublicHealthAssociates.org), Public Affairs Specialist (NHS.gov), Clinical Nurse Practitioner (Nurses.gov) In other words, it's still very much in the dark about the future of the field of public health.
"The number of applicants that we're getting for the Public Health career openings that we are doing is really small," said Katherine Hittner, the NSF's associate director for human resources, in an interview with FourFourSecond.
"We're not taking anyone on."
In the meantime, however, the agency has also begun to roll out an online job board.
The site, called NSFCare, allows applicants to fill out a profile, ask questions, and share their qualifications with other applicants.
The profile, which is not yet public, includes the NSFs job description, the location, and the general subject matter of the position.
The application is open to anyone who has applied to a job at the NSFS, including applicants who have been hired.
NSFcare's profile, though, is not for the most technical types of jobs.
It only asks applicants if they have a college degree or equivalent.
Hitt, the director of the NSFE's Human Resources office, says that the NSFCs goal is to provide job seekers with information that they can use to make an informed decision about their future.
"It's really about understanding what skills you're looking for and how many people you're interviewing for," she said.
"If you're in the Public health field, that information is critical."
If you would like to apply for a public health job, you can do so here.
The Public Health Career Board is a collaborative effort of NSF, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other federal agencies.
The job board has already had some success with its recruitment efforts.
In 2015, the Human Resources Department hired more than 2,400 new applicants for public education positions.
But Hitt says that NSF should be more proactive in hiring for the field in the future.
The agencies' efforts to hire more and better candidates for public positions are just beginning.
"You can't really do a whole lot to recruit if you don't have an understanding of the job," she says.
For now, the job boards job listing and the online job search site provide information that applicants can use as they decide what they want to do with their lives.

Hey book lovers! Today I have an awesome cover reveal for you guys, it's for INCEPTION the first book in 'The Reaping Chronicles' by Teal Haviland! Also below the awesome cover and book info there will be an character interview, so make sure to check that out also!!
One of the most powerful angels ever created. A war spanning thousands of years approaching it's end. A past love who has fallen . . . a new one who is forbidden. And an ancient book that could cause creation's ruin.
Gabrielle was created to live forever, but forever can't exist when time is running out. Join Gabrielle and her allies in a story of love — past and present — fantastical beings, hidden realms, magic, fate, loss, and the fight of good versus evil in, The Reaping.
CLICK 'READ MORE' TO CHECK OUT THE CHARACTER INTERVIEW!
"Hi," I say as I try to calm my overly curious mind, "I'm Teal."
"Of course. I did create you, after all," I respond with a smile full of pride I think only an author can understand when sitting across from a character they birthed. Especially when that creation of fiction led to a birth of a different kind in my own life.
This interview between author and character had not been planned. It came up suddenly when Gabrielle decided she wanted to know how she came to be, and thought the future readers of her story would also want to know. At first I wasn't sure about the idea, but now, as the Angel of Karma stands in front of me, I am glad for the opportunity.
As we settle in our chairs, my desk separating us, I realize it's hard to dissect the expression of the angel sitting across from me. Nothing is readable in her eyes or demeanor. It makes me wonder what is going on in her mind, though not knowing and having the interview told through my point of view is something I agreed to when Gabrielle asked to do this.
An open window behind me brings in crisp morning air. The telling of fall's approach is being spoken by the breeze, but its chill is slowly warmed by a sun that's grown lazy after the work of summer. Leaves are less green as the reds, yellows, purples, and oranges spread across Tennessee, as if the colors are an army marching painfully slow toward a war they don't want to fight. It's mid October 2012, my favorite time of year, and I am less than four months from the projected publication date for Inception, the first book in the story of The Reaping Chronicles — Gabrielle's story , and a story that I never knew was inside me until almost two years ago.
I smile again, a bit more subdued. The way she came about was one of the most enlightening times of my life and one of the saddest. She was born from pain and anger and frustration and an extreme sense of a terrible injustice that was being done in the life of someone I cared about very much. But, she also saved me . . . literally.
"Okay." I take a deep breath before I begin, filling my lungs with air and my body with courage to tell my tale. I don't like the spotlight . . . never have. But, when it comes to my writing I have discovered I am willing to step into it. I love what I am doing that much. "I have always been a strong believer in you reap what you sow. I have lived my life trying very hard to do what's right. I sometimes fail, sometimes miserably, but I try. And I am a very spiritual person. During the year prior to coming up with you and the story of The Reaping Chronicles, however, I went through some horrible circumstances and there was a person who was getting away with heinous things, who had gotten away with many others over the years that I also knew about. I found myself questioning my beliefs. It tested my spirituality to an extreme, and I began to grow angry and bitter. That's something that is never good for anyone, but particularly for me because I can be terribly vindictive and vengeful. It's a side of me that I combat daily and it was beginning to win the war being waged inside me more every day." I pause and take a deep breath, wondering if I am telling too much and considering how I will be judged for telling on that side of me. It's a side I know most people have, but most also try to keep it hidden away behind facades. This is me, though. This is my story.
Her mouth pushes up her cheeks as she smiles, but I see sadness behind the expression. I wonder how the story I have created has affected her . . . I wonder what she thinks of me.
I laugh a bit at this. The reason is lame, and I know it.
I don't answer her right away. Instead, I look out the window of my home office at the trees as they toss in the wind, noting how much the leaves seem to change in the short hours between sunset and sunrise, as I ponder her question. I have wondered the same thing since I first walked away from my writing and photography and horseback riding — all of my passions — when I was almost seventeen. I have wondered, and have continued wondering because I have never come up with the reason that made sense to me.
The answer raises one brow above her big green eyes.
She seems to understand, even without explanation, and I wonder if she knows what I mean. After all, she was created from my mind. The same mind that was dealing with that internal war, the same one that found solace from the thoughts of revenge I was having that were consuming me like it was some starving carnivorous beast and I was the last meal it would ever eat. She, and The Reaping Chronicles, rescued me from those dark, nefarious places in my mind.
Gabrielle is quiet for a moment, her eyes searching me, and I think about how I have written how her gaze made Lucas feel as I wrote intense scenes with them — the same gaze I am now under. The irony causes goosebumps to rise on my skin and I try to casually rub them away.
'Boy . . . she really is an intimidating creature,' I think, and the impression she is leaving on me is deep, because I know I'm not easily intimidated. Her lips part slightly in a smile as if she knows what I am thinking.
'Does she know?' And that thought causes the bumps on my arms to come back.
"Wow," is all I say for a moment.
As we sit there, both of us waiting on my response, I try to figure out how to answer without sounding heartless. I realize I can't.
My heartbeat suddenly ratchets as I realize that, in fact, she is very aware of me — my thoughts, my emotions, my experiences . . . my life. More so than I was ready to believe. I am uncomfortable with this interview, now, but my shock at her shift quickly turns into reserved anger.
I stand, and she mimics my movement. Without another word between us, she disappears in flowing, smoky white wisps. But . . . I swear her eyes are the last to fade . . . and they are shooting daggers at me.
I don't know what I expected from this interview, and I don't know if I will ever let her do another one. But I can say that I was not expecting her to become so adversarial. I also find, while standing in my office in the moments after she left, that my anger easily softens. She is, after all, subject to my whims. She doesn't know how her story is going to end, yet, because I haven't written it to its end. She only knows the content of the first book. I imagine she must not trust me. How can she? And, if I were her, I would be angry at me, too.
She doesn't have any idea what I have in store for her, what trials and triumphs and failures I have in mind, obstacles I'll put in her way, who and what she will lose or gain — how many more times I will have someone betray her or in what ways I will break her heart even more than she already knows I have.
I am her creator, her ruler.
And, in many ways . . . I am her Angel of Karma.

Consistently using a tackling education program appears to help lessen youth football concussion severity and occurrence, say researchers presenting their work this month at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's Specialty Day in San Diego, CA.
"Our study showed that the risk of a concussion in high school football athletes was 1.4 times lower from schools that utilized the Heads Up tackling education program than those who were not trained to utilize the techniques," said lead researcher, Ellen Shanley PhD, PT, OCS, Director, Athletic Injury Research, Prevention, and Education, SC Center for Effectiveness Research in Orthopedics.
Shanley and her colleagues monitored 2,514 high school football athletes during the 2015 season in the Greenville area. Prior to the start of pre-season football, at least one coach from 14 schools received the Heads Up training from USA Football. Ten schools utilized the standard training. Random monitoring to assess proper coaching technique and instruction was performed by the researchers at three different times during the season to ensure compliance. Athletic trainers at each school monitored and recorded injury information for all practices and games for all of the schools involved in the study. The primary providers for all the athletes (both athletic trainers and physicians) are also part of the same large health network that provides services and use the same concussion clearance standards for return to activity.
During the season, 117 concussion injuries were observed. Players on the Heads Up teams sustained 75 concussions compared with 45 from the non-Heads Up teams with a concussion rate of 4.1/100 players vs. 6.0 for non-Heads up members. In addition, the Heads Up group appeared to return to play 27% faster than the non-Heads Up group with 10.6 days lost vs. 15.3 days lost.
"The results of our study seem to suggest that possibly less severe concussions were occurring with the Heads Up group which could be a significant hurdle to learning about and preventing concussions in youth football and keeping kids active," said Shanley. "With this being the first paper to evaluate the impact of this type of training program on the incidence and recovery of concussion, we hope to do additional research with a larger data pool to continue to build insights."

Very popular as Ernakulathappan, this temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Built during the Maharaja rule, the temple is located in the Durbar Hall Ground. The history of the shrine is linked with the history of the city. As per the legend, it was one of the 7 royal temples of Kochi Maharajas but now it is controlled by administration of Cochin Devasom Board. It is one of the 108 Shiva temples in Kerala dedicated by Lord Parasurama.
How to Reach:
The nearest airport is Cochin International Airport which is 35 km from the temple.
Ernakulam North Railway Station, Ernakulam South Railway Station, and Aluva Railway Station are nearest to the temple.

My postgres version is 10.12
It looks like auto-increment of id doesn't works.
Is it a postgres issue or issue with my dump? Is it loo old or too new?

A: You are trying to import a dump from a recent PostgreSQL version into an older PostgreSQL server. That is not supported.
Your only option is to manually edit the dump and fix any syntax that the older server doesn't understand.
Check for the first error message you get when restoring the dump, later ones can be consequences of the first one.

Q: Bytebuddy constructor advice throws java.lang.VerifyError Basically, I want to intercept all classes that have a specific annotation (that was created by me) and i want to perform my custom logic in method and constructor entry.
I have tried using byte-buddy agent builder as you can see from my code sample.
public static void agentmain(final String agentArgs,
                             final Instrumentation inst) {
new AgentBuilder.Default()
        .type(ElementMatchers.

        .transform((builder, td, cl, m) -> builder
        .visit(Advice.to(AdviceToClasses.class).on(isMethod()))
        .visit(Advice.to(AdviceToConstructor.class).on(isConstructor())))
        .installOn(inst);
}

AdviceToConstructor class
@Advice.OnMethodEnter
public static void enter(@Advice.Origin Constructor method) throws
Exception {
    System.out.println("Intercepted Constr >> " + method);
}

Using above, i can get what i expected if use method advice and leave out constructor part. But when i use constructor part, it doesn't go to advice enter method and i get the below errors.

HUMANITY IS ON THE BRINK OF CHANGE. We have crossed an evolutionary threshold.
HUMANITY 2.0 heralds the new paradigm and offers a unique perspective on the planetary civilization that is our destiny and how we are creating that new society individually.
No matter how things seem, no matter how much the world's noise is like a rumble letting loose across the airwaves, no matter how much the cries and desperation of millions are like a throttling of all hope, humanity, we are in a new life, struggling to find a new sense of Purpose. This is a new awareness piercing the density of the compelling dissonance. This is a new life threading through the very breath of all the confounding voices.
This unexpected expansion of humanity is very much the infusion of a stronger heart-consciousness. The conflicts in the various nations are an awakening cry, the anguish of prying free from old selfish dispositions, the surrender of ideas that have battered humanity from the beginning.
In this hour, humanity, we are shattering the old feelings of disconnection. We are holding ourselves up to a standard of compassion and involvement. This century and the next, we will be seeing tremendous strides in our capacity to be more. Although we live in a time of uncertainty, we are in a time of renewal.
A short while ago I read and reviewed an incredible book called The New Humans: Second Genesis which is a shocking but fascinating book courtesy of author Charol Messenger who from start to finish transfixed as well as informed me with her exceptional insights and flawlessly written literature. Upon finishing Messenger's book The New Humans I instantly started to read Humanity 2.0: The New Humanity and I found, only just a few pages in, that the text was exceptional and had the same flair as The New Humans and from that point onwards I raced through the book! Desperate for more answers from the incredible author Charol Messenger who is yes, insanely talented!
Humanity 2.0: The New Humanity is once again a stellar book with a strong theme of spiritualism, science and many more topics that are all excellently explored and weaved together by the incredible author Charol Messenger. In The New Humans, Charol mostly explores the future and what will be possible in the future thanks to technological advancements and what will also be different in the future thanks to humans as well as the changing planet. The topics explored throughout The New Humans were fascinating, and so were the topics in Humanity 2.0: The New Humanity which were slightly different from those investigated in The New Humans. In Humanity 2.0: The New Humanity, topics such as DNA, evolution, the universe, psychology and many more topics are explored, and they are all flawlessly weaved together by the exceptional author Charol Messenger. The topics are definitely bold but not unbelievable because throughout Charol perfectly backs up all of her reasoning which in turn makes the book even more enjoyable because the reader will find themselves believing everything they read, and that was brilliant to me!
Once again Charol Messenger in Humanity 2.0: The New Humanity has ensured that no reader is left behind and she does this by making sure all topics and all chapters are correctly explained so that every reader of every degree of knowledge will understand the book and will be able to follow along perfectly. I really admire for Charol Messenger for being able to do this, she so wonderfully does so, and it shows that she is a caring soul who wants to write a book that will inform everybody and will make sure nobody is left behind, and that is really beautiful in my opinion.
Overall Humanity 2.0: The New Humanity is a stellar, sensational and brilliant book that will undoubtedly transfix and inform readers for many hours and so, of course, I will be awarding Humanity 2.0: The New Humanity five stars! If you are intrigued by the universe, our future, our present, and many more wonderful topics then Humanity 2.0: The New Humanity as well as The New Humans is for you and I would highly recommend both books to you lovely readers! Be sure to also keep an eye out for another review of another book by Charol Messenger which will be live sometime next week, you do not want to miss it!
Thank you so much for reading book lovers! I appreciate it so much, I love discussing wonderful books with all of you so please comment below and let me know your thoughts on Humanity 2.0: The New Humanity. Do you see yourself reading this book? Do you love the genre? Please let me know your brilliant thoughts below and I will be sure to comment back. Thank you so much again for reading!

Q: Dynamically add items to Listview in jQuery Mobile I'm having a bit of trouble dynamically adding items to a listview in jQuery mobile. Basically I want whatever is input by the user in the textbox to be added to the list. I have the following code and can not figure out why the desired output is not appearing.

  <input type="text" id="item" />
  <input type="button" value="Add item to list" onclick="appendToList()"/>

A: Try creating the entire li then appending, right now, you're appending an opening
 to the list, then the value to the list, not the new li
var value = $("#item").val();
var listItem = "

What negative Italian press could mean for Boeing 787
By Dyer Oxley

Falling shrapnel from a jet over an Italian village is just the latest negative headline to include Boeing's name, but according to one expert, the company is likely not at fault.
Renton mayor describes 'devastating' effect of Boeing 737 MAX crisis
Aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia says that despite bad press and tragic crashes, Boeing business should take off again.
"Boeing of course has taken a series of lumps lately, with 777X delays, certainly the Max issue, and now this pretty minor issue," Aboulafia said. "On the other hand, there are only two jet manufacturers in the world of any note. The system is enormous. Unfortunately, bad things are going to happen. We still have this incredibly safe air transport system that is far safer than any other form of transport ever and with very high barriers to entry in the business."
"(The recent bad news) is more of a Rolls-Royce problem, nevertheless it does have an impact on public perception of Boeing," he said.
Rolls-Royce made the engine model on the Boeing 787.
Metal pieces from Norwegian Air flight reportedly broke off of a 787 and fell onto a small Italian village outside of Rome over the weekend, according to Business Insider. Cars and homes were damaged from the metal debris that were between two and four inches wide. Locals said the pieces fell like bullets and one resident said they were lucky to be alive after being struck.
The plane turned around and landed. Norwegian Air reported that there were indications of a technical failure in one of its engines.
"The only thing that is going to rain that quantity of metal down out of the plane onto the ground is the engine," Aboulafia said. "Nothing else that moves is really exposed to the outside, unless of course, the aircraft itself starts falling apart which is certainly not the case."
"Sounds like this was a Trent engine problem, it's the very same Trent engine that has been giving Rolls-Royce a great deal of problems, both on the 787 and the Airbus A330 Neo," he said.
Aboulafia adds that no airplane manufacturer builds its own engines. Therefore, this was not a product of Boeing.
"Fred Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and General Electric are the three primary, pretty much only, large commercial jetliner engine makers, and this is very much a Rolls-Royce engine problem," he said.
In response to the incident in Italy, Boeing issued the following statement:
We are aware of the situation and supporting our customer at this time. We stand ready to provide technical assistance to the authorities who are investigating the cause of the incident.
Boeing continues to deal with fallout from its 737 controversy. Two 737 Max planes crashed within months, prompting the grounding of the model in early 2019. The controversy has harmed the company. Most recently, Boeing lost a $5.9 billion contract with a Saudi airline.
Meanwhile, the relationship between the FAA and Boeing has come under investigation. The investigation initially focused on production and regulation of the 737 Max, but has expanded to the 787 as well.
In the wake of the 737 crashes, Boeing has been scrambling to fix the 737's MCAS system — computer software that is believed to have caused both crashes. MCAS forces the plane's nose down when it senses it is rising too fast. The system likely caused the planes to dive into the ground in the two deadly crashes.
Did a conspiracy contribute to the deadly 737 Max crashes?
"I think the situation is stabilizing when it comes to the MCAS system and the 737 MAX," Aboulafia said. "It looks like they've managed to get regulators around the world on the same page, a lot more harmonized than before, and they have a plan for a complete system redesign."
"It sounds like the new plan is going to work just fine," he said. "What we don't know are what issues or technical snafus they will encounter along the way … will there be schedule delays on the road as they test it? That is the big risk at this point."

It's safe to say that I've been loving my time in Florida so far. Almost every weekend so far I've gone to the beach, sitting in the sand and enjoying the sunshine. Even if it's cold, I'm pretty much always at the beach.
Do you ever feel like you forget something when you go to the beach? I definitely have had my share of those moments–you get all the way there and realize you've left your towel at home. Face palm.
Sunscreen – as much as I love sitting in the sun, I also know how important it is to protect my skin from burns and UV rays. SPF 30 works pretty well when I'm looking to get a little tan, and SPF 50 is what I reach for if I'm going to be out all day.
Comfy flip-flops – I love Sanuk flip-flops. They're so soft and comfy.
Headphones – A perfect day at the beach includes listening to music. Right now I'm loving Cage the Elephant and Florence and the Machine (as always).
Snacks – Even when I bring lunch, I like to pack a few snacks in my beach bag. I like granola bars because they keep me full, and the Oats N Honey crunchy type is my favorite.
Chapstick – Baby Lips Dr. Rescue medicated chapstick in Coral Crave is the best.
Sunglasses – These Urban Outfitters Emma sunglasses are everything. They have a great shape, and I love the oversized frames.
So there you have it, my beach bag essentials! Not pictured, some other things I always bring with me: extra clothes for warmth, lots of water, and my phone for taking loads of pictures.
A few years back, I decided that I wanted to learn how to sew. I'd never taken home ec in school, so I had absolutely no idea how to use a sewing machine. My amazing and patient mom taught me some sewing basics and let me practice on her machine. I made some pretty rough projects, but I enjoyed learning and started to get better at it over time. A few weeks before Christmas, my mom and I were wandering around our favorite flea market when we spotted a vintage machine with a sewing table and all of the accessories included. It looked to be in great shape, and after contacting the owners to see if the machine worked, my mom bought it for me for Christmas.
I think we purchased all of it for about $40, which was an amazing deal, and after doing some research I found out the machine (a Viking Husqvarna) was from the 1960s, which gives me all the feels. Now, truthfully, the machine needed repairs after we bought it, which ended up costing $100 — I probably could have bought a good quality, brand new machine for that. But I really feel that my machine is the perfect one for me at this time in my life. It runs smoothly and makes the most neat little stitches I've ever seen, and I know that I'll have it for years to come. It's first owner took really good care of it, and I plan to do the same!
Figure out how much you're willing to invest in a machine. If the machine ends up needing costly repairs, it may make more sense to buy a new machine instead.
Check to see the condition. Contact the seller or ask to test the machine to check that it works, and make sure you look it over really thoroughly. My machine was in near pristine condition, and I could tell it had been taken care of.
Look for a complete set. You'll want the manual for sure, and a lot of the vintage machines have specific "tool-kits" that you might need to be able to adjust or fix it. I loved that my Husqvarna also came with several bobbin spools that fit it specifically (because not all bobbins fit!) and oil to keep the machine running smoothly.
Those are some of my tips. I know that I've been lucky with my sewing machine, and if you're considering purchasing vintage I hope that you will, too! Good luck hunting for treasure.
If you've been following the blog, you know I'm currently in Florida for my first Level 2 fieldwork/clinical rotation for occupational therapy. As the end of my third week is rapidly approaching, I thought I'd give you guys an update on how it's going.
First Things First: What Even Is Fieldwork?
Great question! Occupational therapy is a Masters degree which lasts about 2 years. OT students complete Level 1 and Level 2 Fieldwork experiences at some point during their curriculum (all schools differ a little bit with timelines). In Level 2 Fieldwork, OT students are placed at an occupational therapy setting (pediatrics, inpatient rehabilitation, acute care, hand therapy, outpatient rehabilitation, etc.) full-time for 12 weeks, and by the end of the 12 weeks it is expected that the student will have a full caseload of patients and will be essentially functioning as an occupational therapist.
To be honest, I'm having a lot of ups and downs in my experience. I'm enjoying my setting and I feel like I'm learning SO much–every day I learn at least one new thing! But I feel uneasy and my confidence isn't superb…I think it's all part of the learning experience so I'm trying to be forgiving and supportive of myself, and remind myself that I will make mistakes and that it's ok to make mistakes right now. My feelings about how I'm doing are riding a roller coaster multiple times each day; I go back and forth from feeling really good about what I did and proud of myself, to feeling uneasy and worrying that I'm disappointing my supervisor. It's sounds kind of crazy, even as I'm typing it, but it's something that I'm working on. I know that I'll learn so much in my 12 weeks at this hospital, and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be mentored by such amazing OT's.
Something that I've really enjoyed about my Fieldwork so far is the opportunity to connect with the patients. I consider myself an outgoing introvert, so I sometimes struggle with making small talk and starting conversations with people, but I've really enjoyed trying to engage the patients. It's been very rewarding to work with the same people each day, and watch them progress. I find myself feeling very satisfied when I feel like I've made a connection with a patient. All in all, I'm so glad that I chose to study occupational therapy–I believe it's a calling, rather than a career, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I realize that I'm doing exactly what I'm meant to do. You know?
Thanks for letting me get all into my feelings and gush about OT today! You guys are the best.
I think of myself as an optimist and generally cheerful person, but I've noticed that I have fallen into a pattern of complaining and focusing on negative aspects of my day the last couple of years, which isn't great. Not only is this habit adding more stress and negativity to my life, I hate complaining to others and off-loading my stresses onto them. Have you ever been around people who only have negative things to say about any situation? It's no fun. So I'm trying to actively work on that in my life.
I started something this week that I think may help me combat the moody blues, and I want to share it here on the blog today in case any of you want to try it, too! It's called "Three Good Things," I learned it on Wednesday during orientation at my internship.
Here's how it works: every night, just before you go to bed, make a list of three good things that happened to you that day. It's that simple. The things on your list can be as silly or as serious as you choose. You're supposed to write down your three good things every night for two weeks, and then you can stop writing them down since you'll be in the habit of thinking of what was good about your day.I kind of think I'll continue to write down my lists and keep them all together, because I want to be able to look back at them in a few weeks/months.
nothing but blue skies ahead!
When you get in the habit of thinking about all of the positive things in your life, the bad things don't stand out as much. Basically, it's a way to retrain your brain, reduce stress, and improve your mood every day. Sounds pretty great to me! It's only been 3 days since I started the challenge, but I'm already enjoying reflecting on each day and picking out three things that were really good.
Want to join me in the Three Good Things challenge? Comment on this post if you're in!
Today I want to share the contents of my "emergency" bag that I take with me to my internship every day.
I love the adorable print on this Clinique makeup bag. My grandma uses their products and often gives me the free gift she gets, which I always love!
Hair ties: I've learned from numerous experiences to always have a spare hair tie with you. You never know when you'll need them!
Mini hand-sanitizer: I'm sort of a germaphobe, and while I try to refrain from over-using my hand-sanitizer, I like to use it after I sneeze or cough to protect others, and I also like to use it before I eat. Someone sick may have touched the doorknob just before you!
Medicine: I don't take much medicine in my life, but the day I don't bring ibuprofen I have a massive headache. I like to keep a few ibuprofen and some rolaids in my bag, just in case.
Bandaids: I'm pretty clumsy. Once, I cut my finger trying to get through security in the airport, and I didn't have a bandaid–I was bleeding all over myself and my stuff! So I like to keep a few bandaids in my bag.
Pen: while I typically just use black ball point pens, I'm loving these Staedtler felt tip ink pens. They come in all different colors, and they make me feel special when I use them.
Chapstick: I go through lots of different types of chapstick. Right now at work, I just use the grocery store brand (I know, I know, but it seems to work pretty dang well!). I also love Maybelline's Baby Lips in Peach Kiss.
Gum: After lunch or coffee break, I like to pop some gum. Extra is always refreshingly minty, and helps take care of any lingering coffee breath.
*Contact solution: I'm trying to always have contact solution with me, because my eyes tend to get really dry in the afternoon.
So, those are all the contents I keep in my "emergency" bag! I'm always trying to keep it well-stocked and efficient. If you have any suggestions about what else I should toss in there, let me know on Twitter @kellytraut.
This leopard bread is gorgeous.
I love the idea of hanging a gallery wall in the bathroom.
This orange sweater pairs perfectly with a black + white midi skirt.
It would be amazing to decorate a party with these DIY paper stars.
Delicate jewelry makes me so happy, and this cactus necklace is no exception.
Pink is my favorite color, and this dusty rose is going on my dream-home list.
The past 2 weeks have gone by in a blur. I moved from Colorado to Florida, started my first full-time clinical rotation in Occupational Therapy, and spent this last week soaking up as much knowledge as I could from my wonderful supervisor.
Things are a little overwhelming for me still, but I'm hoping that with each day I gain confidence in myself and in my knowledge. I'll share more about my experiences in Fieldwork (clinicals) in a later post.
What have you been up to in January? Tweet me @kellytraut. I'd love to hear from you!


When the end of September rolls around you can be certain of two things, the end of the NRL/AFL football seasons, and Oz Comic Con Sydney. Once again one of Australia's biggest pop culture events rolled into the International Convention Centre (ICC) where fans can meet some of their favourite celebrities from film and television, dress up in cosplay, immerse themselves in gaming, or buy some nerdy merchandise from Australian artists and vendors.
The Sydney film and tv guest lineup in particular had teenage girls buzzing with two of the lead stars from Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments making an appearance across the weekend. British actor Dominic Sherwood, and American Matthew Daddario who play Jace Herondale and Alec Lightwood respectively. With question and answer panels being held on both Saturday and Sunday, we took a leap into this fandom and sat in on their panels. Here are some of the things we learnt from their Q&A, and some gratuitous photos of course.
Look let's not deny it, us Aussies love having a lend of the tourists when they come to visit. And a perennial favourite is convincing them that Drop Bears are real. I mean it already helps that Australia has a reputation for wildlife that can kill you, so it's not that much of a stretch. But Dominic Sherwood was told by a fan to beware of the Drop Bears and he genuinely believed that they were real ….. That is of course until some kind hearted soul told him the truth.
Both Dominic and Matthew were quick to not sugar-coat the back half of Season 3, which is still yet to air. Currently fans are waiting for the closing 12 episodes that will finalise the show. Matthew admitted that filming a lot of the scenes, despite being acting and that it's fake, it all took an emotional toll and was exhausting. "There's a lot of suffering, everybody will end up miserable" says Matthew, "Jace's love of his life is dead. Poor Jace. Unless you don't like Jace, then you're gonna love it." Dominic jokes. Fans will have to patiently wait it out for the episodes in order to see how everything pans out.
Without giving anything away and just in some nice general terms, "It was bittersweet, we knew that it was coming, we knew it was the end. But it was really nice to say goodbye to all these people, cast and crew, that we had worked with for the past three years" says Matthew. "That last shot we filmed, I can't even say anything coz even describing the emotions it might give it away, but man it's something else" says Dominic.
Both Dominic and Matt expressed gratitude for the love and support of the Shadowhunters fan base and the passion behind trying to save the show. "We were mostly surprised, not so much by the fervour or aggressive organisation, it was the kindness of it and the generosity by raising money for charities was wonderful" says Matthew. "Australia is the place that I've seen the most people cosplaying as Shadowhunters, so Australia by far, round of applause to you" says Dominic. Despite the campaign not achieving its intention, it has still enabled fans to rally around the show and express their love for it and its characters.
Dominic Sherwood and Matthew Daddario appeared as part of the Oz Comic-Con lineup for Brisbane and Sydney 2018.

Belkin completed its acquisition of Linksys on Friday and will keep the longtime home networking company's brand, products and support channels.
Cisco Systems agreed to sell Linksys to privately held Belkin in January for an undisclosed price. The move continued a shift by Cisco away from consumer products and toward large architectures for enterprises and service providers.
Belkin will maintain both its own brand and the Linksys brand into the future, according to Mathieu Whelan, a Linksys marketing manager who now works for Belkin.
Belkin will try to retain Linksys employees from all divisions and in all regions, though some jobs will be eliminated, company officials said.
Belkin, which is based in Playa Vista, California, will also be acquiring the Linksys headquarters in Irvine, about 50 miles away. The companies declined to discuss the future roles of top Linksys executives at Belkin.
Cisco acquired Linksys in 2003 for about US$500 million. The acquisition put networking gear for every type of customer, from consumers and small businesses to large service providers, under one company, though Linksys products continued to carry their own name in addition to Cisco's. Under a restructuring launched in 2011, Cisco retreated from its consumer businesses to focus on routing, video, data center virtualization, architectures, and switching and services.
Though Belkin will look for opportunities for "cross-pollination" between Linksys technology and its own broad range of consumer and connected-home products, the product lines of both companies will continue going forward, Whelan said. Service and support for Linksys products will remain available through the Linksys support page and existing channels, he said.

Now that we have established the relationship with energy and frequency, how can we use this information for our benefit?
Let's think about it – literally.
Recall our brains consume much more energy on a prorata basis compared to their mass. See the post – How to stop the Brain Drain.
Unfortunately we often end up operating our brains in the higher frequency regions which ultimately consume more energy than is needed.
Watch your speed! Conserve your energy – meditate.


Dortmund took control from then on, but they were unable to find a way past Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris who produced a couple fine saves at the midway point.
It was credit to Mauricio Pochettino's managerial alchemy, inspiring his players at half-time, encouraging them to go for the jugular more.
Spurs did not manage a single shot on target in the first period of their round-of-16 clash against the Bundesliga leaders, but they took the lead through Son Heung-min moments after the break. Jan Vertonghen was enormous at left wing back, Christian Eriksen really grew into the game and the key man was Son Heung-min.
"And with a little bit of luck because I think when you score - the confidence was a massive boost when Son scored". I think it's a massive victory for us.
They were on the other end of the spectrum minutes later as Juan Foyth, starting in place of Kieran Trippier, lost the ball in his own box - with only the keeper to beat for Christian Pulisic, who failed to convert and let Mauricio Pochettino's side of the hook.
"And also it wasn't a situation where he left City and went straight into Dortmund's first team". I tried to get him to Arsenal. "You have phases like that when it's hard and things don't run as they should do".


Known for building one of Spain's leading hairdressing empires alongside a career as a fine artist, Luís Llongueras is one of Spain's most treasured hair creatives. His multidisciplinary practice, which including painting, sculpture and photography, is heavily informed by his hairdressing past, perfectly exemplifying the way in which hair and art often coexist.
Born in Esparreguera in 1936, Llongueras opened his first salon in Barcelona in the early 50s, and has since established over 120 salons worldwide. He was already a successful hairdresser when his collaborations with Spain's most celebrated surrealist, Salvador Dalí, catapulted him into the limelight. Llongueras worked on several high-profile projects with Dalí, including the creation of a giant wig for his sculptural installation The Mae West Room. Now on display at the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, the iconic piece consists of various pieces of surreal custom furniture which, viewed from the right angle, take the shape of the face of the Hollywood actress Mae West. Llongueras' wig, meanwhile, was entered into the Guinness Book of Records as 'the biggest wig in the world'.
Llongueras spoke to INFRINGE Editor-in-chief Anthony Mascolo about the ephemeral nature of hairdressing, his creative relationship with Salvador Dalí and why art keeps him energised.
AM: I would like to ask you a few things, but really I would love for you to show us your world! Luís Llongueras: I've been working for over 64 years, and now technology has become a bigger part of our lives. Women don't care about hairdos, they are spending more time on their mobiles than on their beauty! Their phones are now more important that their hairdresser, it's a generational change. We're in 2018 now and you see women with such long hair, completely untouched.
AM: But this will change!
LL: I think we will need 30 or 40 years for this to change. If you study the evolution of haircuts… around 1932 in Paris, women were cutting their hair really short, it was a revolution which didn't arrive in Spain until about 1961. In London, women used to wear their long hair in buns and now it is happening again. But they do it themselves, they don't go to the hairdresser! I don't know if you agree with me, but the consequences of this are incredible. Hairdressers now need to do many different, spectacular things to satisfy their creativity. If clients no longer provide that satisfaction they must do things to satisfy their creative need in other ways.
LL: Yes, I think about hair but I make it with sculptures and paintings!
AM: Have you always worked across these different creative spheres?
AM: How did you start out hairdressing?
LL: It came to me casually, I remember one day my aunt put some scissors in my hand and said, "cut my hair, it's too long". At that time I was only an apprentice at a salon, sweeping the floors. I looked at her face – I didn't look at the hair – and then cut a strand here and another there. Her friend, one of our neighbours, asked me to cut her hair too, so I started to give haircuts in their homes. I became tired of it because I was always coming back home at two in the morning without any dinner, so I started to work from my own house. When it became too much, my mother saw a little shop and said, "why don't we rent it?" I had my first shop when I was 17!
AM: Do you remember when your art started to take over?
LL: Art and photography always distracted me. Hairdressing is ephemeral but I love art. However, I was really happy to be a hairdresser. I started to have more and more salons and was becoming successful. I would begin at 8.30am, and many times throughout the week my clients wouldn't leave until about 11pm. I found a studio where I would work from four or five in the afternoon until late at night. In the morning I worked for the business and then the afternoon was for me. I work a lot… I'm excessive!
AM: Can you tell us about your relationship with Salvador Dalí?
LL: We were friends for 27 years. I was lucky that he liked me, as he didn't have many friends. He used to call me, he would assign me tasks and so on. Dalí was Dalí. He was excessive in every sense. Excessive in being alone. He couldn't paint if there was anyone around. Nobody, not even his wife Gala.
AM: How did you first meet?
LL: I asked the national phonebook for his number, and they gave me a number for his house in Port Lligat. I called because I was opening a salon and I wanted to do things right. Dalì used to do 'happenings' and they were always in the newspapers. So, I called and said, "I'd like to speak with Mr Dalí". The man on the phone asked, "what do you need?" I explained that I was a big fan of his work, and that I was opening a salon and wanted him to come. I spoke for a good ten minutes about how much I admired him and asked if he could pass on the message. Then the man said, "I am Mr Dalí". Two months later he came to Barcelona to open the new shop. In those days it was a luxurious salon, there was a porter opening the door, a bar and a make-up area. People weren't used to getting make-up in the hair salon, I introduced the idea. Dalì arrived and asked for a hammer! He walked towards the glass window and I grabbed his arm and said, "Mr Dalí, I still haven't fully paid for it!" He explained what he was going to do – smash it – he did something similar in New York in the 30s and all the newspapers were talking about it, so he wanted to do the same. But I begged him not to, so instead he drew a lucky star with a big signature!
AM: Can you tell us about creating 'the biggest wig in the world' with Dalí?
LL: I had the chance to work with Dalí on a rendering of Mae West's face. Dalí wanted the face to be a room, with the mouth as a sofa, paintings for eyes and a huge blonde wig, which I drew for him. Then I made it for real, it was four metres high. Giant! Now the wig has had to be remade out of cloth, like in the theatre. This was because the buttons of men's suits would catch on it when they were passing underneath, and it destroyed much of the lower part of the wig. So now it is no longer hair because it was in such bad condition, but it lasted 20 years!
AM: Do you find that the combination of art and hairdressing makes you more fulfilled?
LL: I'm going to confess something. Hairdressing fulfilled me a lot because there's a personal connection to people, but at the same time these friendships are ephemeral. Some clients died, others moved away, or I no longer have a relationship with them. However, the artistic work I always have near me. I can see it, exhibit it, it's different.
Creating good relationships through hairdressing was very important and fulfilled me a lot. But with art I had fun alone. Drawing, painting, working the plaster and clay… it's satisfying. All of my life I have had those two giant satisfactions – hairdressing, which was about making women feel beautiful and happy. But there is also joy in spending hours on artworks that you still get satisfaction from when you see them year after year. I'm human – I love life and people. But I also need to isolate myself and I do that by making art. These are two very different worlds, like two opposing planets. Together, the two of them fulfil me.


We've seen the trailer, we've heard the music, and now we see the Runaways music video, in which a bustier-clad, garter-belt-strapped, 16-year-old Dakota Fanning snarls out her best Cherie Currie over a montage of movie scenes. And while she doesn't seem uncomfortable in her skin, exactly, there's a vulnerability to her red-lit motions toward brazenness — especially during the "Hello, Dad; hello, Mom" parts — that gives us a pang of parental panic. A pang of "Hannah Dakota Fanning! Put on some clothes! Someone out there could see you!" After which we'd give her a long lecture about the importance keeping the blinds down. The red Lycra tights at 1:00 are pretty rad, though.

Cultivation Chat Group Chapter 1601
Chapter 1601: Old friend, one day apart feels like three autumns
I have definitely not seen this thing in person. A black dragon of such a large size might be as big as the entire mainland China. Therefore, I should have seen this black dragon in a 'dreamland' or something of the sort.
Right, it was back during the Immortal Feast. Song Shuhang quickly found some memories of this black dragon.
After all, the image of this black dragon was so unique that it was rather difficult to forget it.
Song Shuhang remembered that when he was at the Immortal Feast, he and Fairy Rosy Cloud had participated in a food tasting challenge—at that time, the last dish in the competition had been a bowl of black stuff.
When Song Shuhang used the 'secret appraisal technique' to cheat, he accidentally identified the source of the dark material—the Ancient Evil Dragon. This appraisal had cost Song Shuhang quite a bit of blood.
That bowl of blackness was made from a descendant of the black dragon, and the appraisal had gone directly back to the Ancient Evil Dragon.
According to the feedback from the secret appraisal technique, this Ancient Evil Dragon had long lost its life force, leaving behind only a lifeless body that had withstood the test of time up until now.
And on its huge body resided a plenitude of creatures. These creatures regarded the body of the Ancient Evil Dragon as a 'world' and thrived on it.
Could this be what the [Black Dragon World] is actually referring to?
Surrounding the body of the Ancient Evil Dragon were rich streams of evil energy of the Netherworld.
At the time, Song Shuhang had wondered whether it was located somewhere in the Netherworld Realm, and he'd planned on looking for an opportunity to ask Senior White Two whether there was such a creature somewhere in the Netherworld.
But then, too many things had happened, resulting in him forgetting about this matter.
After all, he was Song 'A Particularly Exhausting Daily Life' Shuhang.
…However, it seems that Senior White Two might also not know of this Black Dragon World.
Senior White Two had not found the source of the 'black dragon spirit stones' when he was studying the 'magical power top-up device' with Senior White.
If this Ancient Evil Dragon was in the 'Netherworld Realm', as a ruler of the place, Senior White Two should have been able to associate the 'magical power top-up device' with the world of the Ancient Evil Dragon almost immediately.
While thinking about it, Song Shuhang's clone finally left the 'spatial turbulence', and fell onto the body of the Ancient Evil Dragon.
Compared with the Ancient Evil Dragon, Song Shuhang's clone was the size of a virus, or even smaller. He wouldn't even be visible when looking at the body of the black dragon from afar.
Evil energy of the Netherworld was circulating on the dragon's body, making it seem as if the creature was breathing. And this layer of evil energy had formed something akin to 'atmosphere' on the surface of the dragon's body.
Song Shuhang's clone continued falling, and with a plop, it landed on a scale on the head of the dragon.
Song Shuhang thought that his clone would get smashed on a hard scale, but when he actually landed, he found himself on a patch of pitch-black grassland.
The clone was seriously injured right now; it stiffly raised its head and looked around.
It was really a grassland.
One scale, one world.
Every scale of the Ancient Evil Dragon had evolved into a world the size of a 'city'. There were mountains, water, grass, trees, and strange-smelling air.
It possessed all the characteristics of an embryonic world.
The evil energy of the Netherworld had formed a black sky, and there was a green light illuminating the world formed from the dragon scales.
And on the edge of each, there was a layer of rich death dragon qi acting as a barrier.
The death dragon qi formed a wall, extending above the sky and below the ground, separating each scale of the Ancient Evil Dragon.
Song Shuhang had been wondering how each of the creatures on the scales of the Ancient Evil Dragon managed to survive.
What did they eat? What did they drink?
It appeared that apart from the absence of the sun, these creatures lived just as creatures in the normal world did.
Song Shuhang's clone lay motionless in the Black Dragon World.
At the same time, he tried to activate his 'Inner World'.
If the Inner World was not blocked, Song Shuhang's main body could use the Inner World as a springboard to directly head to the 'Black Dragon World', where the clone was located.
This time, the Inner World did not disappoint Song Shuhang.
It hadn't hidden itself, and a channel had smoothly opened in the Black Dragon World.
"There's going to be a show." Song Shuhang stood up, and sent the table and chair back into the Inner World.
Li Yinzhu curiously asked, "A show? What type of show?"
Song Shuhang smiled, and said, "My clone has successfully reached the other end of the teleportation formation. That place is probably the 'Black Dragon World' we were looking for. Let's go and find Senior White first."
Song Shuhang returned to the Inner World with Little Yinzhu.
He descended at the edge of the 'Death Forest', and shouted, "Senior White~"
Senior White, who was modifying the Death Forest's formation, turned his head. "I'm here, what's the matter?"
When he turned around, his hair flicked, and the little braids that Li Yinzhu had quietly tied were all automatically untied. With his long hair fluttering, the scene was picturesque.
"I'm busy." Another voice sounded directly in Song Shuhang's mind—it was Senior White Two's voice.
"…" Song Shuhang.
Every time he yelled 'Senior White' in the 'Inner World', he would usually be summoning Senior White Two.
Because of that, when he yelled this time, both Senior Whites responded to him.
Song Shuhang said, "Ahem, I found the 'Black Dragon World'. This is the place where the magical power top-up device we have comes from."
Senior White came out of the Death Forest, patted the dust off of his body, and curiously asked, "Where is it?"
Senior White Two's voice sounded in Song Shuhang's mind. "I'm not that interested in the Black Dragon World, and I'm busy right now… I'm only interested in how to recharge the magical power top-up device, so just bring back some of those black dragon spirit stones and let me study them. At that time, I will give you an interesting reward."
Song Shuhang said, "Senior White Two, please wait. This Black Dragon World might have something to do with the Netherworld Realm."
"…" Senior White Two.
I am the dignified ruler of the Netherworld, yet you're now calling me 'White Rabbit' directly just because I've been too lazy to make a fuss about it?
In the past, Song Shuhang had only added the 'Two' to distinguish between the two Senior Whites in his mind… But he now dared to directly shout it out loud.
"The Black Dragon World is entwined with 'evil energy of the Netherworld', and the place is actually the lifeless corpse of an ancient evil dragon. Its body is huge, and each dragon scale is the size of a small city." Song Shuhang began to describe the appearance of the Ancient Evil Dragon that he had seen.
Senior White pinched his chin, and said, "Now that you say that, I seem to have come in contact with a huge dragon like this in the past. But I can't remember it that well anymore."
The voice of Senior White Two sounded at the same time. "I can tell you for sure that there is no such black dragon in the Netherworld Realm. Unless… it is a world made by that fat ball secretly, and it has been using its authority as a 'ruler of the Netherworld' to keep the Black Dragon World secret, preventing me from noticing it. Oh~ If it's the work of the fat ball, I'm interested."
The Ancient Evil Dragon was entwined with the evil energy of the Netherworld, and had not been noticed by Senior White Two. Looking at it from this point, it really was likely that it was the fat ball's work.
Senior White asked, "Have you found a way to enter the 'Black Dragon World'?"
Song Shuhang nodded, and said, "I let my clone pass through the teleportation formation and enter the 'Black Dragon World'. By using the clone's coordinates, we can directly jump into the 'Black Dragon World'. But we need to hurry, my clone might not last much longer."
The clone was seriously injured, and it was very likely to die soon.
"What are you waiting for then? Let's go." Senior White tapped his finger lightly, and Meteor Sword emerged with its new scabbard, happily spinning around him.
Senior White Two's voice sounded. "Wait for me. I will let a projection of mine go with you."
Subsequently, Senior White Two's projection stepped into the Inner World.
On his shoulder, the demonic hamster stood straight while wearing a handsome swordsman robe. It had its arms crossed, and a toothpick-sized sword was tied to its waist. It looked very cool.
"Old friend, we meet again." Song Shuhang waved at the demonic hamster. "A day apart feels like three autumns. I'll give you a new piece of information: I am about to have two more golden cores. After that, I will become Song 'Seven Stars, Seven Diamonds, Seven Golden Cores' Shuhang. What about you?"
Song Shuhang had a new hobby recently, teasing the demonic hamster. The hamster had an innate disposition to make all kinds of faces when teased, which was very cute.
The demonic hamster's face went dark.
You keep on calling me old friend, but whenever we meet, you rend my heart. Just what kind of friend are you?
The demonic hamster's favorable impression of Song Shuhang decreased by 1000 points.
However, as it was already a negative score, there wasn't much difference between -10,000 and -11,000.
He felt that Song Shuhang today was especially jumpy, taking risks everywhere.
Although Shuhang used to take a lot of risks in the past, he was particularly happy when taking risks today.
After thinking about it, Senior White Two thought of a possibility. "Has your resurrection coins come off cooldown?"
Song Shuhang quickly said, "Mm-hm, yes… Ah no, they haven't!"
However, it was too late.
"No wonder… It turns out that your resurrection coins have come off cooldown." Senior White Two chuckled. "While your clone is still alive, let's go to the Black Dragon World. I want to see if it's the fat ball's work."
The demonic hamster jumped off from Senior White Two's shoulder. Then, it took out a small mirror, pointing it at Senior White Two.
Senior White Two's projection disappeared in the mirror.
The demonic hamster said, "That Black Dragon World is probably the work of another ruler of the Netherworld, so when my lord enters, he can't do so openly so as to avoid alerting the other party."
Therefore, the demonic hamster was responsible for covering Senior White Two's aura with its own as they sneaked into the Black Dragon World.

2018 Player Exit Meetings – QB Mason Rudolph
By Matthew Marczi
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a major set challenges facing them for the offseason of 2019 after they managed to miss the postseason for the first time in five years. The failure has been taken especially grievously because of the fact that the team was in position to control their own fate even for homefield advantage with six games remaining before dropping four games.
And so they find themselves getting the exit meeting process underway at least two weeks earlier than they have had to in years, since they have made it to at least the Divisional Round since 2015. Hopefully they used those extra two weeks with purpose.
While we might not know all the details about what goes on between Head Coach Mike Tomlin and his players during these exit meetings, we do know how we would conduct those meetings if they were let up to us. So here are the Depot's exit meetings for the Steelers' roster following the 2018 season.
Player: Mason Rudolph
Position: Quarterback
Necessarily, it is difficult to talk about the season of a player who never dressed for a single game during the regular season, as is the case for rookie third-round draft pick Mason Rudolph, the second quarterback the Steelers have drafted in as many years.
Rudolph, out of Oklahoma State, is the highest quarterback the team has drafted since taking Ben Roethlisberger with the 11th-overall pick all the way back in the 2004 NFL Draft. Of course, that is largely because they haven't had to worry about the quarterback position since then.
Even while Roethlisberger has tamped down talks of retirement and the team is currently working on giving him a contract extension, the fact remains that he may only have a few seasons left under his belt, and the Steelers viewed Rudolph as a potential future starter.
Still, while he was given ample opportunity to play during the preseason—he even started games and saw more snaps than anybody else among the quarterbacks—he did not earn the top backup job. I'm not sure if the team was really expecting him to do so, but surely they were hoping that he would.
Rudolph had some good moments during the preseason, to be sure, throwing three touchdowns to one interception, but he frequently looked like a rookie in his handling of the offense in terms of pace, decision-making, pocket presence, and comfort level. He varied between poised and lost, but that shouldn't be terribly surprising, nor discouraging.
The goal was for this to be a redshirt year whether he dressed as the backup or not, and to be frank Joshua Dobbs barely had to play either. For his part, Rudolph said that he felt he grew a lot mentally during the season, learning quite a bit, to the point where he said he felt late in the year that he would have been able to play if he had to. Hopefully that bodes well for 2019.

Three neighborhood children (aka little angels) finishing putting the ★"Mine Rich in Gems"★ puzzle together. Now they are going to turn over the pieces to find 24 of their "gems of inestimable value". This is a 2-sided puzzle that teaches about the virtues within.
You can explore the meaning of Bahá'u'lláh's words, "Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can alone cause it to reveal its treasures." means. As the children put the puzzle together they think about the powerful words and beautifully illustrated images of gems of all kinds.
Then they can flip the puzzle pieces over to reveal a character trait or virtue behind each one: Truthfulness, Kindness, etc. The children can think of these qualities, learn to spell, pronounce and define them. Learn to honor when they practice them and grow their ability to do so. And honor and encourage their friends and family to grow along with them. Each virtue can solve a myriad of problems they will face throughout their lives. Learn to use them in moderation. Learn to use them in conjunction with other virtues.
We love this puzzle and hope you will, too! Can be used in classrooms, at home, at events. Can be made at home do it yourself style. Can be given as gifts.
