Last couple of weeks have been awful and I am really looking forward to a break. The sudden changes of weather are killing me off this year and it is also a quite stressful period between work and private matters. This is just for saying that, after a very busy August, we have been slightly missing. We have a bit of backlog of reviews and we are going to bake them off soon. In fact, we did not stop trying new places!
Last week it was the turn of this tiny Italian restaurant located at the start of route de Thionville, coming from town, in Bonnevoie district. Moka Bar & Restaurant opened just the week before but I have seen so many people I know going there already that I decided to make it jumping at the top of my "to-try" list.
We arrived there around 8.30 pm on a Thursday night without reservation. During the evenings, you can easily park in the car shop slot just in front. The location, as said, is cozy, with a lovely interior design and a warm atmosphere. We were allocated at a table on the side of the room and we ordered some drinks to start – I had a Spritz with Campari while A. had a Diet Coke.
The owner came back after a while with a proposition of dishes: indeed the restaurant does not have a proper menu card, but offers daily dishes based on the market availability and on the mood of the chef. Several interesting options were anyway available for main, while as starter we were proposed a mixed Italian platter that was anticipated by a small pot of olives.
I had a dish of octopus "alla Catanese" accompanied with vegetables – the initial dish was proposed with spaghetti but I am not a fan of pasta as side dish – while my friend had strozzapreti (a kind of fresh pasta) with lobster and shrimps.
During the dinner, I drunk couple of glasses of Montepulciano and we concluded with an espresso and two digestifs that were offered by the house.
Total bill (1 Campari Spritz, 1 Diet Coke, 2 glasses of red wine, 1 mixed starter, 1 pasta dish with seafood, 1 seafood main) read 65 Euro.
Find the pictures of our dinner and my final considerations.
The atmosphere is great and you feel "like at home" as the service is smiling and polite. We were asked several times during the dinner how we enjoyed the night and the owner stopped at the end to explain us a bit the concept of the restaurant. At the same time, I find the decoration were accurate, from outside the place does definitely not look like the neighborhood's trattoria, but a more refined restaurant.
The food was very tasty and the presentation is amazing for this kind of place. I enjoyed both the starter and my main and I am looking forward to come back to try other dishes ( I heard steak with truffle and I regret not having it as well!). You can feel ingredients were really fresh and the preparations "like in Italy", with the right aromas and spices.
The bill was surprisingly fair: right, we did not have a lot to drink, but still, I think I fail to pay 32 euro for my meal even at Burger King's – and we had fresh sea food!
While dishes were presented and explained in details, on the wine side I was slightly deluded. I asked for red wine and they just asked me if I wanted it strong or light (guess what). Then they got my glass and I had to stop the waitress to ask which kind of wine was it. It was a Montepulciano, as already said, and it was pretty fine – unpretentious, but fine. I definitely liked it at the end but don't have too many expectations on the wine by glass I suggest. We did not ask for bottles, I suppose it will be definitely different in that case.
This is not a negative point – there were no indeed in our evening, even the note about the wine above is one of the picky things from me – but more a recommendation: I lived in Bonnevoie for more than 10 years – and I will be back sometimes soon, finally! – and I have seen several of this kind of places opening their doors. I don't name them, but I suppose if you are familiar with the area you might guess at least two. The formula was really similar – no menu, just daily dishes. At the beginning the quality was amazing and the prices extremely fair. Going on, as customers were more and more, they started to cut drastically on the quality (frozen food, microwaved dishes, cheap ingredients) and increasing exponentially the prices (last time in one of them, we paid 80 euro for 2 beers, a mortadella starter and two pork sausages mains without side). I really hope Moka will stay like it is as I found one of my perfect places.
In conclusion, Moka is the kind of place you might go when you don't want to cook, but it is definitely lovely as well as for a date or for a friend's dinner. Fresh products, an extremely nice service and reasonable prices are making it for me one of the best Italian in Bonnevoie at the moment.
On a quiet and sunny Monday evening, Kochi and I decided to start our week in style and spontaneously meet up for a drink in town immediately after work.
Following couple of rounds of wine in the very city center, we were exploring reasonable and nearby alternatives for dinner and decided to head to the Rotisserie Ardennaise, an old fashion Belair institution that is very close to where I live.
As said, the restaurant has been there for ages but has recently changed management and that looked a valid reason for us to try it.
Moreover, even if in my neighborhood, I was always a bit hesitant to try, as mostly attended by those formal and polished Luxembourgish families and aged couples. But wines overcame our shyness and after a quick call to ensure there was place available – yes, it was Monday, but in Luxembourg you never know! – we were welcomed at the restaurant.
The settings, as for above, are coming from another age, but personally speaking I find them quite sophisticated. The service on the other hand was smiling and quite informal – maybe because we were the youngest in the room 🙂 – and we were feeling immediately comfortable in the place.
Our order was anticipated by a carrots gazpacho and a small terrine. We went then both with bresaola carpaccio with truffle as starter. As for main, I decided then for a classic (beef filet with maître d'hôtel sauce, accompanied by crunchy vegetables and fries) while Kochi chose a ravioli dish with ham and truffle, again.
We drank a perfect bottle of Nuits Saint Georges during the dinner and concluded with a round (or maybe two as usual) of Grappa Le Diciotto Lune, a nice Italian grappa in barrique I have discovered already at La Briscola.
The final bill for food read 46 euro each, plus 98 Eur for the bottle of wine. Both rounds of digestif were offered.
Pictures of the dinner and then, comme d'ahbitude, impressions.
The food was unexpectedly bloody good: surely, the choices on the menu, the presentation as well as the dishes that were coming to the table were very "classic", but in a good way. The quality of the materials is exceptional and the combination of tastes does not feel boring at all. My meat was butter, fries to die for (yes, I have a problem with French fries, I know) and the bresaola rich of flavors.
The service is nice: the restaurant manager used to work in a very well known Italian restaurant in town and inherited from there the radiant smile and the lovely manners.
The wine card proposes great choices for all your (wallet) mood, from "I will get my salary only next week" to "We need to celebrate in style".
We arrive at the restaurant 15 minutes before 9 pm and you can smell they were in a hurry to make us finishing "on time" as this is the kind of place where people go to eat at 7 pm. The order part and the last 30 minutes were a bit on a rush, that at list was my feeling: as soon as our main was over, we were immediately asked if we wanted a dessert, etc. Yes, we need to specify we are girls who love taking their time for dinner, having our break, ciggy pause, relax. Still, if you want to have dinner there, we suggest you to ago no later than 8.00 pm to enjoy it fully.
In conclusion: Dining at Rotisserie Ardenneise was pretty much a surprise. The food proposal is very classic, therefore it is suggested if you have to take out someone who needs an introduction to French cuisine, it is perfect for a family affair or a business dinner. Indeed we had pleasant time: the food is delicious and never boring, the service is lovely, for real, and the old fashion atmosphere is not much more than a pleasant surrounding.
Recently my blog had a very unusual turn from my beloved exotic places to Italian ones. As discussed in some previous post, being Italian, it is very difficult to find a place "as in Italy", as most of the restaurants in town seem to have adapted their tastes to the local ones – having overcooked spaghetti as side dish, mixing heavy cream in several pasta sauces, adding some weird toppings, like ground meet, to pizza.
So, as it was for Indian food, I put in place a research off the beaten tracks in Luxembourg city and about new places, and I came across this intimate corner, opened a bit more than one month ago, La Briscola.
La Briscola was born from the love for authentic raw materials, exceptional wines and regional dishes of four young Italian men, already in Luxembourg with different backgrounds. They put into La Briscola their competencies at various level and the result is a surprising "new kind" of place. I said new kind because I have seen something similar only in Italy – specifically, in Milan. La Briscola started as a restaurant – they offer lunch set menu and a la carte dinner – but it is a meeting point as well after-work, for the "aperitivo", and after-dinner, mainly over the week-end.
At the beginning I was a bit scared by the location, that, let's be honest, is not one of the best in town, hidden in a small street off the train station. This – traditionally – is not an area for professional people and expats to go out during the night, but things are definitely starting to change in the last years, with more and more "nice" restaurants and bars taking the place of strip-bars and junkie spots.
Once you enter the door, anyway, you totally forget where you are. La Briscola is probably the perfect example of a place who came out with the "wow" effect, even without an awards winning architect and million of euros spent in lighting and materials (the reference is not a coincidence, indeed).
At the entrance, a cozy area for the after-work, with old barrels, candles, high chairs. The "parquet" and some of the wall decorations are obtained from the restoration of wine boxes. The bar counter occupies the central part of the venue, while, after that, the main dining room opens on the back, with an impressive wine shelf, wooden tables well distanced and a lovely mezzanine, perfect for a romantic date.
I started my evening in the entrance room, on the barrels, with an amiable glass (or maybe two..) of Pinot Noir, that was accompanied by bruschetta prepared with sun-dried tomatoes.
We moved afterwards in the main room – that was quite busy for being a Monday evening: I went for a Smoked Eggplants Flan, with Burrata cheese mousse and Lard d'Arnad as starter, while my friend had Cream of Leeks, Red Potatoes and Crispy Bacon.
As for presentation, as for taste, both dishes were delicious. The combination of flavors of my flan was impressive: it mixed perfectly the smoked note of the aubergines, with the sweetness of the cheese and the roundness of the cold cut. The balance was impeccable as well under the quantity point of view.
The soup was similarly enjoyable: a bit thick, but not through artificial additions nor useless cream, with the bacon compensating perfectly leeks sugary taste, in a pungent final crunch.
In the middle we were offered some yummy Truffle cheese to taste.
As for main, I chose the Paccheri with Duck Sauce and Quince: the pasta was "al dente", as I love it, the duck sauce intense but mitigated by the apples – that you can barely feel at the end – and with a persistent, amazing perfume of rosemary that pervaded the dish. The other main we ordered was the Rabbit 'alla Cacciatora': I supposed I might have not been honest, as rabbit is one of the best dishes my grandmother prepares, indeed this was one was one of the closest in taste I ever tried. It was soft, savory, intensive. A dish I would definitely take myself next time at La Briscola.
We accompanied our dinner with a Vertigo – Felluga and concluded, after an amazing Millefoglie to share, with a glass (or maybe two…) of Grappa Barricata Le Diciotto Lune.
The final bill read 97 Eur, rounded to 80 Eur. Incredibly fair for what we have had.
After the pictures of my dinner, find, as usual, my conclusive impressions.
The Location: substantially different from the usual "Italian style" restaurants in town, intimate, cozy, full of small details cared in the particular, in the middle between a posh wine bar and an informal regional restaurant.
The Food: the selection of raw materials and the composition of the menu is impressive. This is the kind of place where you would like to try everything that is on the carte. Portions are fair, presentation accurate and tastes unforgettable.
The Service: being a Monday evening the entire restaurant was under one person, who anyway served all the tables precisely, taking his time to explain dishes and wines and to talk with clients. Well done.
As clearly emerged from the review, I loved the place and I cannot wait to come back. If I have to find something to improve, it will definitely be the restroom area. Nothing wrong with it, but considering how well the restaurant and bar parts are set, I would have definitely expected some more care in the details.
In conclusion: La Briscola for me was one of the greatest discovery so far in 2017 and stepped already on the top of my favorite Italian restaurants in Luxembourg – together with Giallo -. The place is perfect for an informal dinner with friends, for a business talk or for a romantic date – book the mezzanine, in this case! Bonus point: you can just stop by for a quick glass of wine after-work and a shared charcuterie platter.

Apple in talks with BT over pay-TV partnership
Christopher Williams, Deputy Business Editor
7 October 2018 • 8:39pm
Media and Telecoms industry
Apple is in talks with BT over a partnership designed to boost the push of both companies into pay-TV, The Daily Telegraph can reveal.
It is understood that the two sides are in early discussions over a deal that would make BT's mobile brand EE a major distributor of Apple TV set-top boxes. The telecoms operator would offer the technology to EE broadband customers pre-loaded with apps to deliver BT Sport and channels from other broadcasters.
Apple already has a similar deal in Switzerland with the telecoms operator and pay-TV provider Salt.
It is aiming to get its set-top box into more homes as it invests $1bn (£760m) in its own original programming for release next year. In the UK it has hired Jay Hunt, former head of programming at Channel 4, to commission series.
BT's consumer chief Marc Allera set out a new strategy in May that included plans to distribute BT Sport in new ways and forge deeper partnerships with technology giants. He has questioned the wisdom of BT's investment in its own set-top boxes in competition with Apple, Amazon and Sky.
Mr Allera is overhauling BT's television business following a bruising conflict with Sky over sports rights. The rivals made peace last year with a mutual channel supply agreement that led to a sharp fall in the total cost of Premier League rights.
EE has a long-standing relationship with Apple in relation to the iPhone and is used by BT as a proving ground for new initiatives. Its customers are typically younger and more technologically savvy than those of the BT brand.
Apple and BT declined to comment.

The 1988 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania was held on November 8, 1988. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator John Heinz successfully sought re-election to another term, defeating Democratic nominee Joe Vignola.

General election

Candidates
 Sam Blancato (New Alliance)
 Samuel Cross (Populist)
 Henry E. Haller II (Libertarian)
 H. John Heinz III, incumbent U.S. Senator (Republican)
 Darcy Richardson (Consumer)
 Joe Vignola, Philadelphia City Controller (Democratic)

Campaign
Joe Vignola was not expected by Democratic Party leaders to have a substantial chance at defeating the popular incumbent John Heinz, even predicting that Vignola would become "Heinz's 58th variety," referring to an advertising slogan of the H. J. Heinz Company. Heinz, knowing this, ran a low-profile re-election campaign and was safely ahead in polling. Vignola traveled across Pennsylvania promoting an increase in domestic spending, including education and healthcare, while decreasing the defense budget to compensate. Vignola ran a positive campaign, in contrast with Cyril Wecht six years previously, although many Democratic ward leaders and committee members had given up on the campaign and had stopped campaigning for Vignola.

Results
Heinz easily defeated Vignola to win the election and another term in the Senate, carrying every Pennsylvania county except Philadelphia, Vignola's home town, and by a comfortable 1.49 million vote margin. Heinz performed well in suburban areas, as well as the central, southwestern and northeastern portions of the state. Outside of Philadelphia, Vignola's best county-wide showing was in Fayette County, where he won 45% of the vote, and his poorest county-wide performance was in Snyder County, where he won 12% of the vote. Although Heinz's landslide victory was largely expected among Democratic leaders, Heinz won by a wide margin despite the Democrats' 551,000-voter registration advantage statewide.

Aftermath
Heinz died in an airplane crash on April 4, 1991, in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania. Democrat Harris Wofford was appointed on May 8 to fill the vacancy caused by Heinz's death, and subsequently won a special election in November 1991. In the 1994 election, however, Wofford was defeated by Republican Rick Santorum.

Hugh Likes Fiction: Vampire Hunter D
hughjodonnell	Hugh Likes Fiction, Uncategorized	Dracula Season, Genre Mashup, Hideyuki Kikuchi, HLF, Hugh Likes Ficiton, Vampire Hunter D, Vampires, Yoshitaka Amano	Leave a comment
Written by Hideyuki Kikuchi
Illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano
Translated by Kevin Leahy
Published by DH Books
The Skinny: Kikuchi blends Horror, Sci-FI, and Western tropes into an exciting novel, but the penny dreadful style keeps it a guilty pleasure.
It's Dracula Season once again! The time of year when I turn my blog over to all manner of spooky content. And today we're looking at Hideyuki Kikuchi's original novel, Vampire Hunter D.
In the year 12,090 A.D, post-nuclear war humanity rises from the ashes, only to be enslaved by ancient horrors, the vampires. But even their immortal reign is not absolute, and as their empire crumbles, a single vampire hunter, half-human and half-vampire, rides the frontier. When he meets a teenage girl on the side of the road, a victim of her local vampire lord, he becomes embroiled in saving her from the count, his daughter, and the fearful townsfolk.
Vampire Hunter D is a whole-hearted embrace of genre. It mixes Western, Horror, and Science Fictions aesthetics to create something both iconic and familiar. Kikuchi's love for black-and-white horror movies is evident, and the book is sprinkled with cameos and references, beginning with the villainous Count Lee. The sci-fi tropes stand up surprisingly well alongside the horror aspects. The world of the frontier is grim, and humanity lives mostly in the ruins, first of the modern world, then of the fantastic one created by the vampire civilization. But as powerless and preyed upon as they are, Kikuchi's vision of humanity is still resilient and relentless, ready to conquer the challenges in front of them no matter how long it takes. D, the mysterious rider in black, takes up most of the oxygen in the story, but the world building is constantly surprising and delightful.
Unfortunately, not all of the tropes Kikuchi takes stock in are as amusing. His female characters in particular come up short. Doris is at turns shown as strong, smart, and capable, but she is constantly in need of rescue, and is almost totally valued as an object. In this short novel, she's stark naked at least twice, and is threatened with rape more than once. These tropes also go back to the tone and trappings of the Western and Horror genres that Kikuchi revels in, but the sexism in this book leaves a bitter aftertaste to the more engaging parts.
The book is also illustrated by powerhouse artist Yoshitaka Amano, and he brings a heavier pen and ink style to these illustrations that are a stark contrast to the watercolors he is more generally known for, such as his character designs.
Vampire Hunter D is a thrilling adventure novel with genre trappings, over the top prose, and some problematic choices on the part of the author. You can find it in ebook and print from your favorite retailer.

I have often created free form ceramic works. These are designs with floating ceramic elements that can be mounted and hung on a wall or they can be inlaid into field tile.
The spectacular free form hummingbird panels are examples of floating wall art. Each one is at least 24" at its widest, and in high relief and brilliant colors. Clients have purchased them for kitchens, patios, bathrooms, and living rooms, as well as offices, corridors, and reception areas.

I come to ask you advice for a configuration of a video control and to evolve my equipment.
I am part of a non-profit organization that performs on geek / manga / anime / japanese culture / cosplay contest. So we do not have a big budget.
We make games on stage (PowerPoint), make choreographies with video. I'm in charge of the video management part of our performance stage niches, but as often on these conventions, I find myself doing the launches for everyone, all day. So I take care of launching their videos, their sound files, their images.
Microsoft Surface Pro 5 that I use to launch games in PowerPoint and I send video and sound with Vmix Desktop capture.
These 2 Pc are connected to a Synology RT2600ac router.
Various smartphones (iPhone and Android) where I use NDICam or JustWifiCam applications that are connected in wifi on my router.
When I animate video management on certain events, I try cool presentations with live effects. That is to say that while I throw things on the giant screen, I show for example what will happen later in the day (with a kind of popup with the name and a small video of the following programs ), I show small bubbles of comics (with text modified live) to react the public. I sometimes animate small concerts where I throw effects live when the artist does something special.
I use smartphones to film live either the public or directly on stage.
On the current hardware where I use Vmix, I have almost 100 preloaded entries and it happens regularly where Vmix starts to slow down.
I am limited in USB port. I'm also limited in video output (there the screen of the PC is too small to see multiple inputs and I have only one video output that is connected to the giant screen.
Really sorry for this pavement, but I do not know which direction to go, all your advice is good to take.
As a non-profit association, we do not have big money. But if we improve, I may be able to claim better pay.
Nobody to teach me a little?
can you post the specs of your current asus laptop. my guess is you just need something a little more powerful. building PCs is not only pretty easy but also fun if you've never done it, and there are some really cool rack mount PC cases out there that are in the same cost as a regular PC tower case.
I can send you a recommended parts list for sure, or a newer laptop recommendation if you prefer to stay mobile.
how much do you think you'd want to spend? under 2000? or closer to 1500?
1 user thanked jacklavey for this useful post.
My laptop is ASUS VivoBook S510UN S (Intel Core i7-8550U 1.8GHz - 8GB - Nvidia Geforce MX150 - SSD 120GB - HD 1TB) but it begins to have a little trouble with VMIX on my last 2 events.
Today I tried to research the hardware that I can put on a new PC.
So much for the basics, but I'm trying to refine it because it may be a little overestimate of my actual need.
I would like not to exceed a budget of 2000 €, but I am already 1313 € with this, is I do not have the power supply, the box, and other device for my video control.
cpu cooler - Noctua - NH-U9S (very similar to the NH-U9B just for 2066 socket) just need to make sure it will fit in server case.
Memory - After talking with Tim from Vmix this past week, he confirmed that you really don't need more than 16GB of memory. I've always used 32, but I will be downgrading after hearing that and saving money here in the future. Also I've used both 2666 and 3000 memory and havn't seen a difference, maybe to play it safe go for like 16GB at 3000 Unless you need the 32GB memory for other things.
GPU - I was just talking about testing the 1660ti but haven't gotten my hands on one yet. I've talked to a few people and some think the sweet spot may be the RTX 2060 (for newer cards) though I've had really good luck with GTX 1070 mini card as a sweet spot price wise. 1660ti though may be a great choice for the price point.
On PCPartPicker it shows all of these parts together go for around 1300$ us, giving you about 100$ for a case and another 100$ for NVME or SSD storage.
As for cases, so far this is my favorite but I haven't purchase yet, but I've been wanting to get this one because of its smaller size and cheaper price.
Sorry for not being able to answer earlier, but every time I post, I get the error "Your message was rejected because it was detected as SPAM!"
This allows me to refine the necessary configuration.
I arrive at a price of about 1580 €.
I will look for the best deals to reduce prices a bit.
For mounting, no worries on it.
For the network switch, even if I did not put it in my schema, I will plan to put one. A switch of 1Gb should be enough for the moment. the 10Gb is out of reach in price. It's just for a NDI signal from the laptop that will only send PowerPoint.
I'm using vMix Desktop Capture for this, but I'm experiencing some loss of animations a few times. I think the problem is that vMix Desktop Capture does not see a change and therefore does not refresh the NDI signal. In this forum, I have seen people using NewTek NDI Tools is apparently it was more reliable, so I will do tests.
When I have more finances, the next purchases will be priority for a small mixer, wireless microphones and a PTZ camera.


Printed scored for bandoneon are quite seldom because of no commercial interest by the involved editors. The other reason is, that the bandoneon always was considered to be not a serious instrument so composers preferred to publish their creations as piano scores. For this reason bandoneonists are forced to make their own arrangements starting from the available piano notes. The few ever published in Argentina or elsewhere where thought mainly for students and are nowadays hard to find as originals.

The advent and evolution of digital cameras have been offering great image quality to anyone who is interested. More recently, the cameras in our phones have been offering a similar image quality have been replacing digital and professional cameras for many. However, the art of photography isn't as simple as applying filters on a grainy image. There are a lot of things you need to take into account to get the perfect picture – something you will love and treasure and has meaning. Professional photographers have spent years perfecting this art and you can too.
While the functioning of a camera remains the same across various types of cameras, they still are different. From a simple point and shoot camera to DSLRs, they work best for different types of photographers and pictures. Point and shoot cameras offer amazing picture quality with the right lenses and sensors, but the photographer plays a huge role in the photo-taking the process as there is very little control that the camera has. On the other hand, DSLR cameras allow you to tweak and adjust the settings to get the right pictures. Professionals like those at Teskey Mediaworks use advanced DSLR cameras and equipment to get the perfect shot every time.
The basics of photography remain the same whether it is a film camera, a digital camera or a phone camera. You need to have an eye for the image that you want to take and keep the focus steady. That is where a tripod or any other means of stabilizing your camera comes into picture especially for slow shutter speed pictures. The focus of the image needs to be in the center. You should know your camera well – how to adjust the shutter speed, aperture and ISO for starters. Understand what type of image requires what settings to get the most of it.

Powerhouse Singer Maria Laroco gets up close and personal on her X Factor UK journey
by Al Arico 10/16/2018
Young power singer Maria Laroco comes home following week after week of sensational acts on The X Factor UK Season 15 airing exclusively on Blue Ant Entertainment. The budding superstar shared some of her biggest moments at a press event held at the Brickyard, Quezon City, where she also gave a special homecoming performance of her winning songs.
"My entire experience has been overwhelming," Laroco said. "I've always wanted to sing at the X Factor UK. It's my biggest dream, and being able to join the contest is already a huge achievement for me. I'm very happy to be given a chance to perform in front of the British audience, and especially Simon Cowell."
The 17-year-old first made headlines when she wowed all four judges and the audience at the Wembley Stadium with her stunning rendition of Prince's "Purple Rain" during the live auditions. "I still couldn't believe that I got four yeses from the judges. It was very surreal! I never expected to get a standing ovation from these really big people," Laroco said about her audition.
Laroco won a spot in the Six Chair Challenge with Whitney Houston's "Queen of the Night" that left international star maker Cowell wide-eyed with excitement. She almost lost her seat to another contestant, but was called back amidst popular demand from the crowd. The teen singer had to fight for her place once again when Cowell asked her to do a sing-off with another contender. It was a tough moment, but she managed to pull through by singing her audition piece, "Purple Rain."
"That, vocally, was just like a different class," The X Factor UK judge and One Direction member Louis Tomlinson couldn't help but exclaim afterwards. Cowell was convinced and decided to keep her among the final six contenders under the "Girls" category.
The X Factor UK contestant shared how proud she was to be one of the many Filipino participants who won hearts from fans both in the UK and around the globe: "It feels incredible to represent our country," Laroco said. "This contest really gave me an opportunity to raise our flag and show how talented Filipinos are."
She also expressed her heartfelt gratitude to all her supporters at the X Factor UK. "I wouldn't make it this far without everyone who cheered for me. Thank you so much for believing in me," the young talent said. "I've learned a lot from the competition, and I'll continue to work hard to make my dreams come true. Please continue to support me. I promise to have more in store for all of you in the future."
The X Factor UK S15 continues every Sunday and Monday, 7:55PM (6:55PM JKT/BKK), same day as the UK, first and exclusive on Blue Ant Entertainment, available on SKYcable channels 53 (SD) and 196 (HD), SKYdirect channel 35, Destiny Cable channel 53, and Cablelink channels 37 (SD) and 313 (HD).

Kukicha, sometimes known as Bancha, is a Japanese green tea made from the twigs and stems of the tea plant. Our Kukicha is made from stems and branches that are separated in the refining process of Sencha (Green Tea). They are then roasted in cast iron cauldrons to reduce the bitterness and decrease tannin and the roasting aroma and mild flavour are its main characteristics. Japanese folklore says it aids digestion and helps neutralise an acidic digestive system. Our Kukicha has been the most popular kind of tea because it has less caffeine and can be enjoyed by all tea drinkers, including children.

Sir Ed Davey flags he will run for Liberal Democrats leadership
Sir Ed Davey (left) applauds Jo Swinson after she was announced as the leader of the Liberal Democrats

Published: 11:00 Updated: 11:04 Thursday 19 December 2019
Sir Ed Davey has hinted that he will run for the leadership of the Liberal Democrats.
Jo Swinson was forced to resign as leader when she lost her East Dunbartonshire seat at the general election, having begun the party's campaign with the claim that she could be the next prime minister.
Former Liberal Democrats leader Jo Swinson
Sir Ed, who was Lib Dem deputy leader, and party president Sal Brinton are joint acting leaders until a leadership election in the new year.

Asked on BBC Radio 4's Today programme if he would run for leader, he said: "I've got a job to do as acting leader, I'm going to do that."
He added: "Let me help you: I'm not ruling it out."
Sir Ed was a hopeful in the last leadership contest, held only six months ago when Sir Vince Cable stepped down.
It saw Sir Ed and Ms Swinson - the only two contenders - face a postal ballot of the party's membership, with Ms Swinson beating Sir Ed by 47,997 votes to 28,021.

Sir Ed has been the MP for Kingston and Surbiton since the 2017 general election and, apart from a brief spell of Tory rule in the constituency between 2015 and 2017, he has held the seat since 1997.
He told Today his party knows it "made mistakes" in the election campaign, but added: "The evidence we have from around the country, particularly in the seats we were fighting, was that people were voting for the Conservatives with a washing line of clothes pegs on their nose because they were opting to stop Corbyn rather than what they also wanted to stop, which was Brexit."
Looking ahead to his party's future, Sir Ed said: "I think we need to bring liberalism to life for people, by proving, for example, our passion for social justice."
Other leadership contenders include Layla Moran, Wera Hobhouse and Christine Jardine.

Technology Trends and Innovations in 2019
Looking at what to expect for the industry in 2019, the pace of change fueling a new computing revolution will accelerate, creating new challenges and tremendous opportunities for innovation.
Accelerating New Materials Innovation through R&D Collaboration
Applied Materials and National University of Singapore jointly open a new R&D lab with support of the National Research Foundation Singapore. The goal of the collaboration is to accelerate the discovery and commercialization of new materials for manufacturing next-generation semiconductors.
Beyond Von Neumann: Applied Materials and Arm Lead DARPA-Funded Research on a Neuromorphic Switch for AI
by David Thompson
Back in July, Applied Materials announced that we'd been selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop technology for AI. At the core of this project are the efforts of Applied Materials, Arm and Symetrix to develop a correlated electron switch. This of course begs the question, "what the heck is a correlated electron?"

The first material change in the transistor contact and interconnect in 20 years is required to remove a major performance bottleneck between transistors and the outside world.
Industry Leaders Examine Advancing Interconnect Scaling
Applied Materials will host a forum at the IITC* conference in Grenoble, France on May 19 to discuss ways of overcoming critical challenges in copper interconnect scaling. While much of the industry's focus has been on transistor scaling, at the 10nm node and beyond, the interconnect is becoming a major issue. Applied Materials and guest speakers will explore the path that interconnect technology must take to keep pace with Moore's Law in a panel titled "Advancing the Frontiers of Interconnect Scaling."
50 Years of Moore's Law

What are some of the innovations behind Moore's Law? As technology advancement continues full steam ahead, Applied Materials recognizes and celebrates Moore's Law on its 50th anniversary.
How do Innovations Become Industries?
Click on the graphic to expand the image.We've all seen it happen many times, especially during major events such as the post-thanksgiving Black Friday, Cyber Monday and holiday sales: gadgets that were expensively priced for early adopters are suddenly affordable and accessible to the average person, which in turn spur a jump in demand. A 55-inch 3D LED TV, for example, that retailed for more than $3000 USD not too long ago now sells for about $1300 (and it comes with a 3D Blu-ray player and 4 sets of 3D glasses!) Similarly, a respectable laptop PC can cost less than $300 USD these days when they were more than $2000 just a couple years back. My 486 desktop computer used to be two grand! Aside from consumer electronics, we're seeing similar trends of cost reduction in industries such as solar and LED lighting. A photovoltaic (PV) solar module that used to cost more than $5 per watt five years ago now goes for about $1.50 per watt. LED light bulbs for general lighting sold for more than $40 per bulb in hardware stores two years ago now sell for less than $20, and I am sure they will be comparably priced with today's CFL bulb in the near future.So how do these incredibly technologically advanced products become so affordable? The answer is technology and scale.

May 4, 2011 may go down in history as a day that shook the chip industry to its core, literally. Anyone even remotely interested in technology must have caught Intel's dramatic announcement on that day that 3-D transistors are now ready to enter high-volume manufacturing.However, other leading players believe there's plenty of development room left in two dimensions.

Jennifer Jason Leigh (born February 5, 1962) is an American actress. She has appeared in Short Cuts. She is also the co-writer and co-director of the film The Anniversary Party, made with fellow actor Alan Cumming.
Leigh has a reputation for playing characters on society's bottom rung, often prostitutes or drug users.[1] She is also known for her intensive method-inspired research into her roles.[2] Leigh is often considered to be one of the greatest actresses never to have received an Academy Award nomination.[3][4]

Filmography 5
Leigh was born in Hollywood, California. Her father, Vic Morrow (born Victor Morozoff), was an actor, and her mother, Barbara Turner, is a screenwriter.[1][2] Her parents divorced when she was two.[5] Leigh's birth name was Jennifer Leigh Morrow. She changed her surname early in her acting career, taking the middle name "Jason" in honor of actor Jason Robards, a family friend. Leigh's parents were Jewish (their families were from Russia and Austria, respectively).[6][7][8][9]
Leigh has an older sister, Carrie Ann Morrow, who was credited as a "technical advisor" on her 1995 film The Anniversary Party. The director Reza Badiyi was her mother's second husband and was at the time her stepfather.
Leigh worked in her first film at the age of nine, in a nonspeaking role for the film Death of a Stranger (The Execution) (1973). At 14, she attended Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Training Center in Loch Sheldrake, New York summer acting workshops given by Lee Strasberg and landed a role in the movie The Young Runaways (1978). She also appeared in an episode of Baretta. An episode of The Waltons and several TV movies followed, including a portrayal of an anorexic teenager in The Best Little Girl in the World, for which Leigh dropped to 86 pounds (39 kg) under medical supervision. She made her big screen debut playing a blind, deaf, and mute rape victim in the 1981 slasher film Eyes of a Stranger, which she quit school to star in.[2] In 1982, she played a teenager who gets pregnant in the Cameron Crowe-scripted high school comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which served as a launching pad for several of its young stars. While decrying the writing as sexist and exploitative, Roger Ebert was enthusiastic about the acting, singling out Leigh and writing, "Don't they know they have a star on their hands?"[10] With the exception of Ridgemont High and a small role in the Rodney Dangerfield comedy Easy Money, Leigh's early film work consisted of playing fragile, damaged or neurotic characters in low-budget horror or thriller genre films. She played a virginal princess kidnapped and raped by mercenaries in Flesh + Blood (1985), an innocent waitress pursued by the psychopathic title character in The Hitcher (1986) (both films pitting her opposite Rutger Hauer), and a young woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown in Heart of Midnight (1989).
In 1990, Leigh made a significant career breakthrough when she was awarded James Berardinelli wrote, "There are times when it's uncomfortable to watch this performance because it's so powerful",[17] and Janet Maslin of the New York Times described Leigh's "fierce, risk-taking performance and flashes of overwhelming honesty".[18] Leigh won New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress[19] and Best Actress from the Montreal World Film Festival,[20] as well as an Independent Spirit Award nomination.[21] Some expressed surprise that she was not nominated for an Academy Award,[22][23] while Winningham was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Throughout the 1990s, Leigh worked with many independent film directors. She worked with Robert Altman in Short Cuts (1993), playing a phone-sex operator, and Kansas City (1996), as a streetwise kidnapper. Leigh has expressed admiration for Altman and called him her mentor.[1] In a change of pace from her "bad girl" roles, Leigh played the fast-talking reporter Amy Archer in the Coen Brothers' comic homage to 1950s comedy, The Hudsucker Proxy (1994). Leigh took her first lead role as the writer and critic Dorothy Parker in Alan Rudolph's film Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle (1994). She received a Golden Globe Award nomination and a National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actress,[24] as well as Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress[25] and Fort Lauderdale Film Critics Best Actress Award. In another change of pace, she starred in Agnieszka Holland's version of the Henry James novel Washington Square (1997), as a mousy 19th-century heiress courted by a gold digger. In 1998, she appeared alongside Campbell Scott in the Hallmark Hall of Fame TV film The Love Letter. In David Cronenberg's eXistenZ (1999), she played a virtual-reality-game designer who becomes lost in her own creation.
Leigh had a brief role as a doomed gangster's wife in Sam Mendes's Road to Perdition (2002) and costarred as Meg Ryan's brutally murdered sister in Jane Campion's erotic thriller In the Cut (2003). After a long period of avoiding prostitute roles, she played alongside Christian Bale as his prostitute girlfriend in the thriller The Machinist (2004). Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle commented that "As the downtrodden, sexy, trusting and quietly funny prostitute, Leigh is, of course, in her element".[26] Her performance as a manipulative stage mother in Don McKellar's film Childstar won her a Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in 2005.[27] After many years of wanting to be in a Todd Solondz movie,[2] she appeared in Palindromes (2004). She also appeared in the psychological thriller The Jacket (2005), alongside Adrien Brody. In recent years, Leigh appeared in the 2008 ensemble film Synecdoche, New York and has acted in two films written and directed by her then partner Noah Baumbach: Margot at the Wedding, costarring Nicole Kidman, and Greenberg. Leigh has said that the roles were not specifically written for her, as Baumbach does not write roles with actors in mind.[1] In 2009, Leigh was cast in the Showtime TV series Weeds,[28] becoming a regular guest in the eighth season. She also joined Revenge on ABC, in 2012.[29] Leigh has received three separate career tributes: at the Telluride Film Festival in 1993,[30] a special award for her contribution to independent cinema from the Film Society of Lincoln Center in 2002,[31] and a week-long retrospective of her film work held by the American Cinematheque at Los Angeles's Egyptian Theatre in 2001.[32]
Stage roles
In 1998, Leigh took on the lead role of Sally Bowles in Sam Mendes's Broadway revival of the musical Cabaret, succeeding Natasha Richardson who originated the role in Mendes's production.[33] She succeeded Mary-Louise Parker in the lead role in Proof on Broadway in 2001.[34] Her other theatrical appearances include The Glass Menagerie, Man of Destiny, The Shadow Box, Picnic, Sunshine, and Abigail's Party. In 2011, she played Bunny in the Broadway revival of House of Blue Leaves in New York City alongside Ben Stiller and Edie Falco.[35]
Writing and directing
In 2001, Leigh co-wrote and co-directed The Anniversary Party, an independently produced feature film about a recently reconciled married couple who assemble their friends at their Hollywood Hills house, ostensibly to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary. As the evening progresses, the party disintegrates into emotional confrontations and bitter arguments as the facade of their happy marriage crumbles. Leigh was inspired by her recent experience filming the low-budget Dogme 95 film The King Is Alive.[36] Leigh and co-writer Alan Cumming drew freely from their personal experiences in the writing of the film.[36] Leigh plays an aging actress who makes jokes about her lack of Academy Award nominations and is fearful of losing her bisexual husband (Cumming). The film was shot in 19 days on digital video,[1] and costarred the pair's real-life Hollywood friends,[36] including Kevin Kline, Phoebe Cates, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Beals, John C. Reilly, Parker Posey and Leigh's sister Mina Badie. Leigh and Cumming jointly received a citation for Excellence in Filmmaking from the National Board of Review,[37] and were nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature and Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay. The movie received generally positive reviews.[38]
Leigh filmed a role in Stanley Kubrick's final film Eyes Wide Shut (1999) as a grieving patient of Dr. Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) who declares her love for him after her father's death. Kubrick wanted to reshoot the scenes, but Leigh was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts with eXistenZ; instead her scenes were cut.[39] Leigh was originally cast as Vincent Gallo's girlfriend in his self-directed film The Brown Bunny, and was apparently prepared to perform oral sex on Gallo as the script required. Leigh subsequently commented that "it just didn't work out" and the role was eventually played by Chloë Sevigny.[40] In 1997, she was featured in Faith No More's music video for "Last Cup of Sorrow".[41] She was selected as one of "America's 10 Most Beautiful Women" by Harper's Bazaar magazine in 1989 and served as a jury member at the 57th Venice International Film Festival in 2000.
In 1982, Leigh's father, Vic Morrow, was accidentally killed along with two child actors when a helicopter stunt went wrong while filming Twilight Zone: The Movie. Leigh and her sister filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Warner Bros., John Landis and Steven Spielberg. They settled out of court a year later and the terms of the settlement have never been made public.
Leigh has described herself as shy, introverted and averse to Hollywood publicity, and scandal.[5][42] Speaking about her roles in smaller, independent films, she said, "I'd much rather be in a movie that people have really strong feelings about than one that makes a hundred million dollars but you can't remember because it's just like all the others."[2]
She met independent film writer-director Noah Baumbach in 2001 while starring on Broadway in Proof. The couple married on September 2, 2005. Their son, Rohmer Emmanuel, was born on March 17, 2010. Leigh filed for divorce on November 15, 2010, in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences.[43] She sought spousal support as well as primary custody of the couple's son, with visitation for Baumbach.[44] The divorce was finalized in September 2013.[45]

What is the world's most translated document?
We have run a series of articles looking at some of the world's most translated items, including the world's most translated book, the world's most translated song and the world's most translated website. Now, to complete the series, we take a look at the world's most translated document.
And the world record goes to…
According to Guinness World Records, the most translated document in the world is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The declaration was adopted in Paris on 10 December 1948, as a direct result of the Second World War. It was the first time that a global expression of the rights to which all humans should inherently be entitled had been issued.
As at 01 January 2009, when Guinness World Records made the award, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights had been translated into 370 languages. That compares with 2,883 languages for the most translated book (the Bible) and 731 for the most translated website (which is actually the official website of the Jehovah's Witnesses).
As such an important document in the history of humankind, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been translated so many times in order to reach out to readers all around the world. The document's premise is that all people, regardless of their race, religion, country of origin, or any other factor, are entitled to those rights enshrined within the document. This applies to language too, hence the vast number of translations that have been undertaken, as the declaration is shared around the globe.
Was the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the document that you thought would be the most translated in the world? Which other documents have used translation to reach global audiences in this way? Feel free to share your thoughts via the comments.

Deviation Site -1
(Redirected from Site -1)
(Note - Site -1 should be shown on the map a little further south)
The Deviation sites were initially numbered starting with 1. It was then realised that two other sites nearer Porthmadog were needed so these were numbered 0 and -1, the latter involving widening the top end of the cutting south of Dduallt station site so that a passing loop could be installed with the points as far south as possible.
FRM37 (Summer 1967) recounts "Just after Easter the top end of Dduallt cutting was blasted, in preparation for the new passing loop. Known as Site -1, the main line was cleared again within a fortnight and the widening is now well in hand". There had been a footbridge over the line at this point but this work removed its eastern abutment.
More information at Numbered Sites.

Men's Basketball Game Files
Brown's Career Half Can't Save Huskies Against #4 Arizona in 92-68 Defeat
The 24-point 1st half from Brown was invalidated by an 81-43 end to the game by Arizona
By Max Vrooman@UWDP_maxvroom Feb 12, 2022, 5:17pm PST
Share All sharing options for: Brown's Career Half Can't Save Huskies Against #4 Arizona in 92-68 Defeat
Against his former team Terrell Brown Jr. had the eye of the tiger (wildcat?) early and looked like he was set to carry the Dawgs on his shoulders making his first 7 shots in the first 10 minutes. Unfortunately #4 Arizona weathered the storm and commenced a beatdown as they pounded the Huskies on both ends of the court for a 90-68 win over Washington. The loss drops the Dawgs to 13-10 (8-5) as Terrell Brown Jr.'s 29 points weren't nearly good enough when combined with UW's despicable defensive effort.
The Huskies looked like they were up to the challenge for the first quarter of the game. Terrell Brown Jr. and Emmitt Matthews Jr. scored the first 18 points of the game for Washington including 12 points in 8 minutes for Brown. The Pac-12's leading scorer was in his bag of tricks early as he nailed his first 7 shots from the floor. Arizona meanwhile couldn't find their offensive rhythm and were stymied by the defense and rebounding of Nate Roberts. Another pair of Brown midrange jumpers put the Huskies in complete control with a 25-11 lead with 10:38 remaining in the half.
That's when the wheels completely fell off for Washington and Arizona started to look once more like a legitimate national title contender. Azuolas Tubelis carved up the Huskies inside with cuts to the basket, post-ups, and put back layups. The Wildcats didn't quite find their stroke from the outside but they did well enough hitting 5/12 3-point attempts in the first half.
Washington's offense disintegrated as Arizona committed extra resources into shutting down Terrell Brown Jr. After a pair of early baskets by Emmitt Matthews Jr, the rest of the non-Brown Huskies had 1 combined made field goal (Nate Roberts and-1 layup) over the final 17 minutes of the half. That included a 10 minute streak without a made field goal by anyone on UW as the only way Washington could create offense was to get to the free throw line.
Arizona finished the half on a 34-11 run in order to head into the break up 45-36. Terrell Brown Jr. had a game-high 24 points but no one else could make a shot to help him out. It certainly didn't help that Washington after getting 18 steals in the first game against Arizona had 0 in the first half as they could never get out in transition to help the offense.
Things didn't improve in the second half. There was one brief highlight as Terrell Brown Jr. lobbed it up for Emmitt Matthews Jr. who threw it down with a thunderous one handed slam. That basket was the only one though for UW in the first 5 minutes of the half while Arizona ended up with easy basket after easy basket at the rim. Mike Hopkins took a timeout as Arizona started out the 2nd half on an 11-2 run.
Washington at that point clearly had the fight go out of them. Nearly every possession seemed to end either in a dunk or an uncontested layup as the Husky defense looked like it was made out of swiss cheese. The Huskies badly missed Daejon Davis as they were unable to force steals and PJ Fuller badly struggled as a secondary ball handler. Nate Roberts helped prop up the offense during a brief stretch with his offensive rebounding abilities but the Dawgs couldn't get stops on the other end for it to matter.
Arizona's rotating line of dunks eventually turned insult into actual injury. Emmitt Matthews Jr. tried to answer with a slam of his own but it was overly ambitious and he banged his wrist on the rim and was forced to leave the game. Washington absolutely can't afford to be down both him and Davis with the L.A schools coming up next so hopefully he'll make a speedy recovery.
Terrell Brown Jr. ended up with a game-high 29 points but no other Husky had more than 10 (both Roberts and Matthews). The perimeter trio of Fuller, Bajema, and Bey just couldn't get anything going combining for 13 points on 4/22 shooting with 5 turnovers. Nate Roberts' 9 boards actually kept the Huskies almost even in the rebounding battle but after winning the turnovers 21-6 in the first game, UW lost it 12-9 this time around. And half of those Arizona giveaways happened in the last 6 minutes with the game well decided.
Arizona outshot the Huskies 40% to 18% on the 3-point line which keeps alive Washington's streak of going 0-fer in conference when their opponents shoot at least 40% from deep. The only saving grace for Washington was a +11 advantage in made free throws or else this could've truly been a beatdown of epic proportions.
Things don't get any easier for the Huskies as next week they have to travel to the L.A schools with games against ranked USC and UCLA.


Although serious flooding events are rare, the council still needs to be prepared to respond to the risk of flooding at all times. Our drainage team is responsible for investigating any flooding in Portsmouth, and works to prevent future flood events by improving drainage throughout the city.
If there is risk to life or serious risk to property or the environment as a result of flooding, call 999.
See below for advice on how to prepare for a flood, and what to do during and after one. There is also more detailed information on the types of flooding that occur and our flood protection policies available for download.
We suggest all residents living in flood zones register for flood alerts and complete a flood plan. The plan collects together essential information you will need in the unlikely event you are flooded. This will help you make the right decisions before and after a flood. For example, Portsmouth City Council do not supply sandbags, so you will need to buy them from your local DIY store. The Environment Agency also offer useful advice in the flood section of their website.
If you would like any help with your flood plan please contact us, or phone the Environment Agency's Floodline on 0345 988 1188.
The council's Surface Water Management Plan identifies and prioritises the areas of Portsmouth at greatest risk from surface water flooding, defined as heavy rainfall creating more water than the drainage system can cope with. Most flooding in Portsmouth is caused by surface water which, by its very nature, is very difficult to predict. This makes providing accurate and timely warnings difficult.
Drains in the gutters at the side of the road, known as gullies, can overflow in times of heavy rainfall. Gullies may not appear to be coping with heavy rainfall, but do allow some time for water to subside and then, if the drainage does not improve, let the City Helpdesk know on 023 9283 4092.
Portsmouth Water supplies water to the city, and is responsible for all pipework up to and including the stopcock. To report a burst water main, phone Portsmouth Water on 0800 434 610. Use the Portsmouth Water online form to report smaller leaks.
Portsmouth may be susceptible to coastal flooding, but it is relatively easy to predict. If your home or business is at risk of flooding, you should register for flood alerts. These can be recieved by phone, email or text message. The service is free.
When the Environment Agency warns of tidal flood, the council deploys floodgates and flood boards in Old Portsmouth. Follow the link for more information on the council's approach to coastal flooding. Portsmouth City Council is also a member of the Eastern Solent Coastal Partnership.
Gov.uk also manages the risk of floods and coastal change.
Portsmouth City Council's overall aim is to reduce the risks to people and property from flooding. When drawing up plans or considering applications for development, we try to direct development to sites at lower risk of flooding. To be able to do this, we need to know as much as possible about the flooding risks in the city. All our assessments and reports, along with relevant annexes and maps, can be found here.

Australia: Archbishop Coleridge Issues Statement on Conviction of Cardinal Pell
' The news of Cardinal George Pell's conviction on historical child sexual abuse charges has shocked many across Australia and around the world, including the Catholic Bishops of Australia.'
February 26, 2019 16:32ZENIT StaffProtection of vulnerable people
Archbishop Mark Coleridge, President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, on February 26, 2019, issued the following statement in response to the Australian court's conviction of Cardinal George Pell on charges of child abuse:
The news of Cardinal George Pell's conviction on historical child sexual abuse charges has shocked many across Australia and around the world, including the Catholic Bishops of Australia.
The Bishops agree that everyone should be equal under the law, and we respect the Australian legal system. The same legal system that delivered the verdict will consider the appeal that the Cardinal's legal team has lodged. Our hope, at all times, is that through this process, justice will be served.
In the meantime, we pray for all those who have been abused and their loved ones, and we commit ourselves anew to doing everything possible to ensure that the Church is a safe place for all, especially the young and the vulnerable.

Simons - Galeries d'Anjou
Ville d'Anjou, Montréal (Québec)
110 000 sq. ft.
Number of floors
When the Simons retail fashion chain decided to build a new store at the Galeries d'Anjou shopping centre in Montreal, it asked LEMAYMICHAUD for a distinctive architectural statement that would stand out from its surroundings. The resulting building is composed of simple volumes, built using concrete sandwich panels. This material, which is economical and fast to install, allowed us to explore a unique texture composed of points of white distributed uniformly across the entire façade, intentionally evoking the purity and elegance of the patterns found in certain fine fabrics and leather goods. Around these openings, these points of concrete expand and their background gradually shades into green. As evening falls, the white and green that are so apparent in the daytime disappear, and the façade becomes a constellation of tiny fibre-optic lights.
The building's interior design is refined and intelligent. Each of the traditional Simons departments displays its own identity so that everyone can find the collections that suit them. The collections for young people explode with energy and the trendiest flavours, while the departments for adults are more simple, modern, and chic.
