So he takes on the job, which takes him on a road trip into the heart of America's darkness as well as his own, where he has to deal with exploding homes, brutal murders, a sexy heiress, a misguided teenager and Max's girlfriend back home who's cursing him out on a regular basis. And, oh yeah, a para-military organization that's just waiting for the right moment to kill him.

It was the early 1960s. The era of The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Flower Power, Teddy Boys and beehive hairstyles.

A time when the men reporters would roar off on their motorbikes to cover stories. For newspaper journalism was still largely a man's world. From an early age I had nurtured a longing to become a reporter, and with my dreams to keep me going, a stroke of luck and much hard work, I was lucky enough to achieve my ambition. This is a mainly light hearted account of how, as a young, fresh faced girl, not long out of school, I entered this male dominated terrain.

The easiest way to go to activities, seminars and important business conferences is simply by jet charter. It is actually the simplest way to increase performance and cut down on the traveling time. These private jet charters have the ability to supply excellent service whilst providing the client the choice to travel according to their time schedule.This luxury airplane can get someone to their desired destination when they must be there. It is quite hassle-free as there is no requirement to become a member of very long collections on the air-port waiting to table a home-based or overseas airline flight, no reason to make the attaching air travel or perhaps to handle the uneventful hold off or cancellation of any air travel. The private jets will get you in one denote another at any given time easy to you.
Most of the time, a company tourist will be able to participate in a company getting together with out and about and profit in within 24 hours. In the event such as these there is absolutely no must wager your family farewell for the prolonged time frame. You may travel out have the organization completed and be back home by sundown and report to the workplace in the morning with any upgrades from the conference. A jet charter slashes rear on the time wasted and gives little disruption for your regular work plan.
A Jetsmarter is likewise great for those improvised outings. Together with the rising tempo how the business world includes to, a simple trip might often be necessary. Common airlines are certainly not usually capable of accommodate these demands; that is where the charter comes in, they could support last second vacation needs with minimal discover.Using private jet charters has become quite a pattern today particularly for the enterprises whoever primary aim is usually to help save time and money on any journey expenses that they can could incur. Additionally it is the ideal option for anyone organizations that happen to be unable to afford to pay for their own jet and for people who desire to steer clear of the operating fees of buying one too. This is the simplicity of a private jet charter.


[O]ne great advantage of Pictures above all other articles sold by traveling agents, is that they speak for themselves, and while agents have to harangue and invent plausible merits in selling other articles, Pictures speak to the imagination and fancy of everyone…it requires no "talk" to sell them.
I find it amusing that pictures were so desirable they needed not even a salesman! I use this quote in my classes on American art to talk about the power of visual images and how they are seductive in ways that are sometimes more immediate than objects without a visual interface. This persuasive quality is what makes visual images so compelling but also dangerous if, for example, they communicate xenophobic or discriminatory narratives—as many of them do in the nineteenth century. An attention to the rise of chromos and their wide distribution across American homes urges scholars of the nineteenth century to more seriously consider visual images and their pervasive role in American society.
Which country / decade of the nineteenth century would you like to live in if you could go back in time? I would fancy living in the 1870s, an exciting time period in American food history. With technological advances in transportation, canning, and refrigeration after the Civil War, people had greater access to "exotic treats" such as the Florida orange, to which I devote an entire chapter in my book project The Fruits of Empire. Around the 1870s we also see an increase (albeit a small one) in the publication of cookbooks by African-American authors such as Malinda Russell (1866) and Mrs. Fisher (1881), showcasing voices from communities that have profoundly shaped American cuisine but that have been widely ignored.
Is there anything from the nineteen century you wished would come back into fashion? Brandy-soaked watermelons! To the dismay of teetotalers and temperance advocates, some drinkers would carve a hole in watermelons and would spike them with alcohol. Pittsburgh artist Albert F. King painted a spiked watermelon on a table and placed it next to another melon purging seeds, possibly alluding to the sickening aftermath of drinking a brandy-soaked melon. While I think this tradition still endures today on college campuses (yikes!), I imagine alcohol-soaked watermelons could make for an interesting cocktail experience.
What is something you learned in the last month about the nineteenth-century? Recently, I have been learning about another food-studies topic: milk—specifically breast milk. I have been collecting nineteenth-century photographs of women breastfeeding, an activity that was in sharp decline as more women started working outside the home and replacing breast milk with cow's milk, according to Susanne Freidberg's book Fresh: A Perishable History. I am intrigued by women's desire to visually record themselves in the act of nursing a baby, in this way thus displaying the virtues of motherhood that are still firmly attached to breastfeeding today. The intersections among milk, motherhood, and photography are ones that I continue to learn about and hope will provide inspiration for my next research project. If any NCSA followers find a photograph or image of this subject from the Victorian period, do pass it along!


This weekend was a very busy weekend. My fourth of July weekend was a typical fourth of July weekend: chaotic. Despite the chaos, I was able to get my assignments done. This photo blitz happened after a long day of site seeing in New York City. I was tired but determined to complete the blitz. I was able to get the blitz done in 15 minutes and really enjoyed the outcome of it. Here are my highlights from that display.

Q: Coderush - Shortcut for Generic ICollection Is there a shortcut in Coderush to generate code for an ICollection?

A: CodeRush can certainly help with all sorts of code generation.
If you could be a little more specific with your question, I will refine this answer and show you what you need.
Which version of Studio (and hence .Net) are you using?
What sort of code ywould you like to see generated?
I ask because ICollection implies an interface but not what processes should back it. there are many ways in which you might choose to do this.
CodeRush cannot guess but if you have some more clues I might be able to help

All Blacks Centre Ryan Crotty Set To Leave Crusaders
by Jason Hennessy · April 1, 2019
On the move.
All Blacks and Crusaders centre Ryan Crotty has announced he will leave New Zealand rugby at the end of the year to join Japanese club Kubota Spears.
The centre has been linked with a number of European clubs in recent months, but will instead follow the likes of All Blacks captain Kieran Read to Japan.
"The All Blacks, Crusaders and Canterbury rugby have been such an important part of my life and I'm grateful for every opportunity I've had to represent my country, my province and my family over the years," Crotty said.
"I'm a proud Cantabrian and Christchurch will always be home, but I'm really looking forward to taking on a new challenge in the Top League as part of the Kubota Spears club.
"I know I'll look back at the end of my career in New Zealand with really fond memories of the experiences I've had and what I've achieved alongside my good mates, but for now my focus is enjoying the season ahead and helping to lead this Crusaders side one last time in 2019."

visiting graves...
we flicker as we walk
down shadowed rows
— Michael McClintock, Shadows in Time: Sixty Short Poems (2005)
Radhamani Sarma visits the graves:
Delighted to review the poem of American poet Michael McClintock, also a critic and editor of haiku books and well trained in new-imagist literature. This haiku revolves around mood and memory/life and death/light and shadow reflected in old and new stones erected in a graveyard.
The first line ("visiting graves") leaves much room and space for the reader's imagination.
A visit to the grave, not a happy place to visit. New tombs by the side of old those stones, eclipsed or straggled by the passage of time. Age and time and frequent usage have effaced them.
Images of contrast interplay, adding a somber texture to the haiku. A profound study into his poetic journey amply reveals the fact that McClintock is interested in the theme of shadows. The following link would be of much interest to know more about the poet.
https://in.pinterest.com/pin/346917977541757042/?lp=true
Marietta McGregor reflects:
Everyone has felt that discombobulating feeling of light and shadow strobing as you move in and out between them on a long country road. It can feel much worse in a car travelling through a long avenue of narrow poplars or tall gum trees, because of the speed at which the car travels.
…sun/shade—sun/shade—sun/shade…
…black/white—black/white—black/white…
And on, and on, and on…until a sense of unreality takes hold and it's suddenly hard to focus, to keep one's mind on the road. There's the urge to shut your eyes and rest forever from the repetitive assault on the visual cortex. Just drift off and unsee the endless zebra transmission.
In Michael McClintock's poem it's as if the sun/shade strobe lights are flashing, but at a much slower pace. I imagine the subjects of the poem are strolling between tall marble and granite tombs, sarcophagi with draped angels and monuments surmounted by Celtic crosses, hushed in long avenues, a suburb populated only by the dead, like Père Lachaise in Paris. The sun/shade strobe is now but a flicker, as the sun passes in and out of clouds, as trees shade the walkers.
But it not only the shadows that flicker in this lovely haiku. It is also the brief lives which have been lived. It is a memento mori poem, for reflection.
'Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow'
Cezar Ciobika remembers:
We usually go to cemetery when we miss someone who passed away and want to commemorate some great moments of our past.
Maybe it's about the Remembrance Day, who knows…
What is certain is that the ellipsis in the first line invite the reader to reflect upon what happened, a drama. Afterwards, that double "we" in the second verse seems to point out subtly that the ones who are still living are like candles flickering among shaded rows. It's like we're in the underworld, in the world of shadows, and we're trying to bring back someone very dear to us, but we cannot because we do not know the right incantation to raise the dead. The word "flicker", the catalyst of the poem, implies also the meaning of burning, torment, passion; we can say that in the crucible of time we spread light and become finally ashes, returning to Mother Earth.
As this week's winner, Marietta gets to choose next week's poem, which you'll find below. We invite you to write a commentary to it. It may be as long or short, academic or spontaneous, serious or silly, public or personal as you like. We will select out-takes from the best of these.

Please use the subject header "re:Virals" so we know what we're looking at. We look forward to seeing some of your favorite poems — and finding out why!
re:Virals 162:
fields flooded
beneath the surface, somewhere
the river bends
— Christopher Herold, Woodnotes 17 (1993)
Filed Under: Virals Tagged With: Christopher Herold, Marietta McGregor, Michael McClintock, Radhamani Sarma
Meg Halls says
A great deal resides in that word "flickers". The poem, you might say, flickers between outer and inner— the observable flicker of moving through shadows cast by gravestones, and the subjective flickering of the one walking past them: her/his responses, shifting in some way.
Flickering I take to be a rapid movement however. I would not call the play of light and shadow on people walking by gravestones *flickering*. This is a case, it would seem, of the writer discovering what at first appears to be a depth of interplay between outer and inner. And if one is willing to accept that flickering can be a very slow sort of thing, then I suppose there is no problem.
Petru J Viljoen says
Indeed, the living, mere flickering candles, mere shadows, walking among those whose who are no longer among us. Or are they?
Terri French says
When natural disasters strike I think of the resiliency and strength of the human spirit—the courage to move forward. In Christopher's poem, though the river is flooded, it is still a river. The river doesn't lose itself, but keeps bending, moving, doing what it was meant to do.
Radhamani sarma says
Dear Marietta,
Greetings! in your comments, your note – car travel and image of sun/shade/
striking . Further your analysis ,
very aptly observed.
Marietta McGregor says
Dear Rhadhamani Sarma,
Thank you very much for your kind appreciation. I'm glad you enjoyed my commentary on this fine haiku.


Earlier in the year I constructed a pallet garden bed. The goal was to get some garden space up off the ground and away from predators for the especially vulnerable crops – namely strawberries. Despite all out successes, we've never particularly flourished in the strawberry department. They're a slug favorite and we're pesticide shy. And in the high boom of summer harvesting we always manage to neglect this crop more than the others.
I lined the pallets with rain cloth (basically a durable garbage bag material that comes in rolled up sheet form). This would protect the wood from excess moisture and slow the rotting process. It is optional according to all the tutorials out there, so it's up to you if you want to skip this step. It doesn't drain per se, but I'm assuming the water will sink down and find a corner that's not as well protected. Or I assume that the bed is deep enough that root rot won't become a problem.
I cut and wrapped and stapled it in place. There's really no one right way. You can go with more or less protection.
I then lined the it with landscape cloth. This obviously holds the dirt in place, is durable and allows for drainage.
Here you can see how this is two pallets sandwiched together.
Next I boarded up the back/bottom of the pallet. I used an old piece of furniture that the neighbors were throwing away. You see how this project keeps getting cheaper and cheaper?
It stands up really well on it's own. Many posters create these types of beds with the intention of vertical gardening. I don't really know how watering will work with that type of arrangement. Some say you have to keep an eye on the top crops because they will dry out first. And yes, some say it is a water hungry endeavor.
I know this is so unlike us, but I bought potting soil to fill the bed. It has the drainage and the weight that we needed, at least for our first trial run. I will see about using home-grown compost in the future. In this shot you can see that I also boarded up the bottom.
And how has this recycling garden romp worked out for us you ask?
Not for the strawberries. The high heat required near daily watering, and the strawberries just didn't take root quickly enough and deeply enough to stay hydrated. Daily watering became a chore, and was considerably inefficient and, in my opinion, a little wasteful. Pots take more water than ground plants, and the pallet bed was more pot than anything. It was such an arid disaster by August and I was so ashamed, I forgot to take a picture.
Perhaps if I'd started the project sooner and gotten the strawberries in the bed early they'd have taken root and been more successful. We may try and find out next year.
I think we will get much use out of this pallet bet still. Maybe less in June, July and August (though I think flowers will do just fine those months), but for all the other months this has been a great way to organically protect the vegetables. I imagine a snail or two will find its way only the bed, but Snail, I will find you! And you will be evicted!
And the bed still looked plenty full afterward.

The Lion Called Cecil
Tim Knight + Associates > The View From Knight > Uncategorized > The Lion Called Cecil
The golden pride, maybe twenty in all, heads and fangs blooded, fights, snarls, growls, rips at the impala carcass. Two massive maned males dominate. Smaller females challenge, back off, return. Tawny, timid juveniles and cubs, fearful on the fringes, scramble for scraps.
"Such a beautiful pride …" says the game ranger, proud, like a father. "Just magnificent … beautiful."
We sit in the Land Rover, shoot video for nearly an hour. And when we leave, the pride sprawls satisfied in the noon sun, and only a few bones of the impala are left.
It's one of the most dramatic scenes in the TV documentary we're shooting about wildlife conservation in one of South Africa's best known wildlife reserves.
We drive deeper into the bush, looking for a rhino to be tranquillised and shipped to another reserve where new rhino blood is needed.
Whop whop whop whop whop …
The helicopter swoops down out of the washed-out sky and disappears over a koppie just ahead. We find it around the next bend, parked on the dirt track. Next to it, a small group of men stand talking.
Turns out they're the helicopter pilot, two rangers, a tracker, and an American big game hunter from down Alabama way.
The American has come to collect his lion. All bush-jacketed, safari-hatted, crocodile-skin-booted, pink and plump, he cradles a gleaming, wildly expensive 338 Winchester Magnum in his arm.
The helicopter lifts off, heads toward a hillock about half a mile away, circles. A cell phone crackles unintelligible words.
It's the signal. The American and a ranger, both carrying rifles, leave the group, walk together off the road through the thorn trees to our right.
They disappear into the bush, heading for the hillock where the helicopter hovers.
Supreme irony. Within a couple of miles of each other in this wildlife reserve, one game ranger admires his magnificent lion pride — guarded, protected, inoculated against disease — while another game ranger takes a hunter into the bush to kill a lion.
So, you ask, what's all this got to do with Cecil, the late Zimbabwe lion now more famous than Simba of The Lion King?
When you spend three years filming and editing documentaries about African wildlife — and the lives of lions play a big part in the stories — you do learn a few things.
First, lions aren't endangered. In fact, the widely-respected International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) list them only as "vulnerable." And that's mostly because humans grab more and more of their land, leave them less and less territory.
Anyway, lionesses are famously fecund, giving birth to between one and four cubs every couple of years.
The male of the species, meantime, is always ready for sex. And lives a life curiously alternating between idyllic and wretched.
First the idllic. As a cub he's fiercely protected by the pride, even fed by whichever pride lioness happens to be lactating.
But at about three years old he starts to grow a mane. Not coincidentally, he also shows interest in the pride females. Sisters, aunts, even his own mother.
Pride males don't like competition from their sons. Once testosterone hits, the young male is banished from the pride, driven into exile.
Now the wretched. He spends the next few years growing stronger and hornier.
But the lionesses he wants are locked up in prides guarded by bigger, tougher, battle-hardened veterans.
His testosterone surges.
He seeks other prides, challenges veteran dominant males.
Gets beaten up.
But he learns.
Now the idillic again. One day he wins the fight, sends the veteran into his own exile, and takes over the pride.
His first act is to kill all the veteran's cubs and sire his own, which he does with considerable enthusiasm.
For the next few years he's master of his pride.
His main job is to guard the pride and its territory and impregnate the lionesses.
One inevitable day the idyll ends once again. A younger, tougher, hornier exiled male challenges and defeats him. If he survives the battle, he leaves the pride forever.
Misery again. He's likely wounded in the fight. Even if he isn't, he now has no lionesses to bear his cubs and hunt for him. Lions are the only social cats. Without family, without territory, he's lost.
He's no splendid Lion King any more. To quote Thomas Hobbs, his life now is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
He kills small game and scavenges whatever's left by other predators. But slowly, slowly, he starves.
Eventually he's attacked, likely by hyenas, and eaten while still alive.
I tell you all this to explain the natural life cycle of these magnificent cats. And why properly controlled, licensed trophy hunting can actually benefit African wildlife.
You see, while our ageing lion wanders in his second exile, he still looks magnificent. A rich foreign hunter will pay up to $50,000 (R630,000) to kill him and take his head home as trophy.
The money goes a long way toward paying staff and protecting the other animals in the reserve.
So the lion's only real worth at the end, is in death.
It's a merciful death. Instead of being eaten alive by hyenas, he's killed quickly, cleanly, by the hunter or the ranger who guards the hunter.
And the $50,000 paid for his head goes to care for the other animals in the reserve.
The real lion scandal is "canned hunting". In South Africa today, for instance, there are more than 160 game farms holding perhaps 5,000 lions bred to be killed for "sport".
The farmer starves the lion for a few days inside a fenced-in enclosure, throws him an antelope carcass.
The hunter — protected by an armed employee — can drive into the enclosure. Some even choose to shoot the lion from safely inside the vehicle.
No risk.
It isn't hunting. Not when the lion is used to people. And not when it's confined to a fenced-in area from which there's no chance of escape.
Between 2006 and 2011, more than 4,000 lion trophies were exported from South Africa alone. Almost all had been bred for killing.
You can kill less impressive specimens for as little as $5,000 (R6300).
It's obscene, but all entirely legal.
Cecil's death just outside the Hwange reserve in Zimbabwe wasn't much different.
Cecil had been around humans for all this thirteen years. He was an amiable animal, habituated to people.
So American crossbow hunter, dentist Walter Palmer, could safely get close. Probably a lot closer than the length of a tennis court.
Even at that range, the dentist didn't kill. But he couldn't miss. And neither he nor the ranger protecting him could fail to notice the radio collar around Cecil's neck. Which meant he was protected by law.
Palmer shot his arrow anyway. The magnificent lion lived for another forty hours in terrible, lingering pain with an arrow in his body.
It wasn't until the next day that the ranger tracked and killed Cecil with a merciful bullet.
Yes, it's true that we humans are the world's prime predators. We breed and kill uncountable millions of animals every year for food and clothing. And very few of us ever mourn their deaths.
But there's something deep in our psyches, something innate and instinctive, about our respect for — and fear of — fellow predators like the big cats.
We seem to sense some sort of nobility in them.
Perhaps it's because, long long ago, we lived among them and competed as equals for food and survival.
They had teeth, claws and overpowering strength on their side. We had knives, spears and bigger brains on ours.
It was kill or be killed.
Over the centuries, we humans learned how to destroy other predators. Those we didn't slaughter, we confined to ever-shrinking reserves or exhibited behind bars and barbed-wire fences.
So big cats are no longer a threat to us.
And the fear is mostly gone.
But the respect for the big cats lingers on, somewhere deep in our souls.
Which is perhaps why the world reacts with such anger when the American dentist kills that old lion in Zimbabwe.
Brutally, illegally.
With no respect.

Finding The Motivation To Make You Slash Those Extra Pounds!
How to lose weight is one of the most common dilemmas faced by so many people in the world. If you're one of those who want to slash extra pounds, then you might consider the need for weight loss motivation.
Many believed that in order to achieve success you must have the will power to do so. This is really true. Just like in any weight loss program, if you want to lose extra pounds you must be determined enough to attain the ideal weight. Accordingly, most experts would recommend that you get into some dynamic exercise prior to your weight loss project. But before getting into the action, it is a must that you talk to your doctor or nutritionist first.
Seeking advice from them is necessary for you to have a vivid picture of the personal limitations you have to face in relation to your weight as well as the steps you need to take to conquer your weight loss goal.
First and foremost, ask yourself this question: "why do I have to lose weight? To whom am I losing weight for?" Well, why not do yourself a favor. Lose weight for yourself and not for anybody else. It would be helpful if you make a list of the things that you want to do. Many people who go on a diet say they become more active, confident and gained much attention from different people.
However, what's difficult in losing weight is how to keep the weight loss motivation alive. Motivation is very important in reaching the weight you desire. There are some instances where people who engage in weight loss program would tend to lose their eagerness in just a month or so.
Weight loss motivation is crucial. It gives anyone who's into weight loss the drive to pursue their weight loss goals and keep track of the changes over the next few months. Remember that your mindset plays a very significant role in the success of any endeavor that you take.
1.	Check the weighing scale. It is a must that you weigh yourself at least once a week. This way, you can monitor any change that will occur - that is whether your weight loss program is effective or not. It is also advisable to keep a picture of yourself. Pictures before and after weight loss programs will help you gauge the success of your efforts. This would be your basis if you were deemed successful with your weight loss goals.
2.	Make your imagination work. It would be of great help if you would see in your mind's eye how you want to look. Imagine the things you want to do in the future if ever you have achieved your goals.
3.	Establish your weight loss targets. It's good to establish new weight loss targets if you have already achieved your ideal weight. If you're successful in attaining your ideal weight, why not set some other goals, perhaps adding some muscle to have yourself in perfect shape.
4.	Don't rush things. Don't expect to achieve your ideal weight in an instant. Don't go beyond the limits. It's best to take it one step at a time. It helps if you have a food diary. With a food diary, you can keep track of the food that you eat as well as the emotions that you feel. This is necessary since it's a well-known fact that people tend to overeat due to some emotional reasons.
5.	Just think of the all the complications associated with obesity.
Furthermore, health is wealth. Losing weight can make you feel better and will always keep you in tiptop shape. When you start to undergo a weight loss program, try not to lose your will power. Always keep yourself motivated. And most importantly, never lose hope and don't ever quit. It's just natural to encounter some difficulties along the way but never make them as excuses in achieving your goals.

Bubba Blade Tapered Flex Fillet Knife 7"
- Bubba Blade Tapered Flex Fillet Knife 7"
Designed for filleting smaller species of fish with more precise cuts, the Bubba Blade 7" Tapered Flex Fillet Knife delivers the control needed to carve up meat around bones in the more difficult areas of smaller cuts. Featuring the same flexible blade as the standard Flex Fillet Knives, this 7" tapered blade version offers some flexibility in the blade for curving around the body of the fish. Catching your own fresh fish can be both satisfying and delicious, but the unique shape of fish's bodies can often prove a pain to fillet without the right tools at your disposal. Slicing up the perfect steak is all about those initial fillet cuts and there's not better knife for the job than the Bubba Blade 7" Tapered Flex Fillet Knife. The tapered version makes for a great one-two punch with the standard flexible blade fillet knife for those times you need to get meat from smaller areas or you are filleting smaller species of fish. Ideally, you'd be able to switch between the two to achieve those restaurant quality cuts that look as nice as they taste.
Utilizing their patented textured no slip grip handle, this knife offers the user complete, secure control of their cutting and affords the ability to create perfect fillets of any type of fish. Thumb and finger pads help to stabilize the knife as you cut for both safety and control of the blade's movements. Super sharp stainless steel blade and precision angling make cutting smooth and easy.
The Bubba Blade 7" Tapered Flex Fillet Knife measures 13" in total length with a 6" handle and 7" blade. Comes with custom black synthetic sheath with velcro straps.
very well made. make sure to keep track - they tend to disappear!
Awesome! Best filet knife I ever used. Cuts the cleaning time in half.

Q: Is it possible to turn off "seconds" and "long text in the end" for the "IntlDateFormatter::FULL" IntlDateFormatter date/time format? Note: Should this be considered the wrong Stack category, I shall ask you to kindly move it to the right one.
Example code:
var_dump(IntlDateFormatter::formatObject(new DateTime("2020-09-09 09:09:09 Europe/Madrid"), IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'es_ES'));
var_dump(IntlDateFormatter::formatObject(new DateTime("2020-09-09 09:09:09 Europe/Madrid"), IntlDateFormatter::LONG, 'es_ES'));

Output:
string(79) "miércoles, 9 de septiembre de 2020, 9:09:09 (hora de verano de Europa central)"
string(37) "9 de septiembre de 2020, 9:09:09 CEST"

I want output such as this:
string(79) "miércoles, 9 de septiembre de 2020, 9:09"

That is, the "full" version (not "long" or any of the even shorter ones), just minus the second part as well as the "(hora de verano de Europa central)" in the end. I don't mean to str_replace or regexp it out, because that I already know how to do. I mean the correct, robust way to do this, so that it works for all the countless formats which output very different texts.
As far as I can tell, the various DateTime/NumberFormat/etc. classes/functions in PHP don't have such an option, but it has often happened in the past that it's just cleverly hidden somewhere where I didn't look.

A: You can manipulate it with a regex
$date_str = IntlDateFormatter::formatObject(new DateTime("2020-09-09 09:09:09 Europe/Madrid"), IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'es_ES');
var_dump( preg_replace( '/:[0-9]{2} .*/', '', $date_str ) );

Matilda (UK Tour), Bristol Hippodrome | Review
Matilda (UK Tour)
Bristol Hippodrome
Reviewed on Thursday 9th May 2019 by Roni Hughes
Whether you yourself were obsessed with books as a child, or if you were just more of a movie person, I can guarantee that you will know something of Matilda Wormwood.
Originally a children's book written by Roald Dahl and released in 1988, Matilda was later adapted into a blockbuster film starring Mara Wilson and Danny DeVito, becoming a firm favourite of young and old alike. Now the well known tale is back in a musical stage adaption by Dennis Kelly, with music and lyrics from Tim Minchin. Although currently on its first UK tour, the show has been a resident in London's West End since 2011, and having had the pleasure of seeing it there multiple times, I was intrigued to see how seamlessly such a fast paced and well staged show would transfer to a smaller stage. For many parents unable to travel to London, this is their opportunity to take children to the show for the first time, and it's impossible not to get swept up in the excitement upon arriving at the theatre.
Right from the off, it's clear that the transfer has taken nothing away from the production value. Even on a smaller stage, the intricacies of the sets to include many books and building block letters are still mind blowing. There is so much to look at, yet none of it distracts from the main action. A special shout out must go to the cleverly written and performed School Song, in which the older children of Trunchem Hall teach the new starters their ABC's through the menacing school gates. Hats off to Matt Towell and Ben Davies for continuing to make this as dynamic and tricky as it should be.
Outside of the staging, there are a few standout members of the cast without whom the show would fall flat. Our Matilda for the night, Olivia Juno Cleverley, has the little girl's feisty nature down to a T. She has to ability to have us laughing along with her karate chopping one minute, and the next be tugging on our heart strings in softer moments where we're confronted with just how awfully the adults in her life treat Matilda. At her young age, this is no mean feat, and I'm sure there are bright things to come for her. Special mention also to Charlie Garton who played cake loving Bruce Bogtrotter. His fabulous dance moves in Revolting Children have the audience rolling in the aisles, and he has energy and stage presence in spades.
This is not forgetting the adult cast members, who do well in being the literal embodiment of their characters. Carly Thoms' Miss Honey is perfectly meek and mild, and her rendition of My House is suitably gut-wrenching. It's a refreshing change to have one adult in Matilda's story for whom you root just as much as title character, and Thoms allows us to sympathise completely with this teacher with a heart of gold.
We also cannot overlook Elliot Harper, who plays the formidable Agatha Trunchbull. Harper succeeds brilliantly in providing us with the laughs throughout the entire show, right down to one final cry of 'Maggots!' during the last reprise. He is the fourth Trunchbull I've been able to watch, and he certainly does not disappoint.
One thing I must mention that took away slightly from the overall production was the sound mixing. I'm unsure on whether it was simply down to the mics or the theatre layout, but the music seemed to overpower the actors, and particularly in chorus songs, the clarity needed to hear all the lyrics was missing. The show in general was not quite as polished as you would expect for a show that's been on tour for 14 months already, which was most obvious in some of the dance sequences. However, despite this the show was still more than enjoyable, and this may just be down to adjusting to the recent move to the Hippodrome.
This show is wonderful for children from ages 4-104 and would certainly make for a fantastic family night out. There are plenty of age appropriate gags for all generations, and there's a great balance of poignant moments mixed with fun and hilarity. I would definitely recommend being a little bit 'naughty' and treating yourself to a ticket!
Matilda runs at the Bristol Hippodrome until 8th June before continuing its tour.

A treetop study in the Berkshires, on the second floor of a new carriage house, frames views of the surrounding woods. The honey-oak paneling brings warmth to the modern space, while the skylights pour in light from above. The space serves as a guest room as well, with an adjacent bathroom tucked behind one of the invisible doors.
Invisible doors to storage and bathroom.
Designed as a country retreat for a young couple from New York City, this compact project plays with the idea of a modern cabin. Containing 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms in under 2,000 sqft, the house exploits the use of glass and outdoors rooms to expand its virtual space and connection to nature.
The project's interior design creates a youthful and relaxed atmosphere, while maintaining a timelessness and simplicity appropriate to its New England heritage.

Western Massachusetts American Institute of Architects, Honor Award, 2016.
This 3,300 sqft building serves as a spectator pavilion for the new recreation fields in Florence, Massachusetts. Prior to the town purchasing the land for public recreation, the fields had been farmland for over a century. The form of the pavilion references the agricultural history of the site, as well as the outdoor nature of the program, by taking a modern approach to a classic New England barn.
The pavilion provides a strong, quiet backdrop for the activity on the fields, and offers shelter and seating for the players and spectators gathered there. Strung between each pier is a built-in bench, providing spectator seating, and—on the side facing the parking lot—seating for those waiting to be picked up.
Spatially, the building explores the ability of modular forms to read as both solid and void.
The new wrap-around porch creates wheel-chair access from two different locations, while maintaining the historic integrity of the building's design.
With C&H Architects & Parker Torres Design.
Morgan Studio worked with C&H Architects (prime architect) and the interior design firm Parker Torres to modernize community spaces in a number of campus dormitories on the Amherst College campus, including Plimpton House and Moore Residence Hall.
New lighting, finishes, furniture, and room layouts inject a sense of identity and fun into each common space.
Building renovations also included the addition of accessible entries and bathrooms, as well as upgrades to HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems.
Western Massachusetts American Institute of Architects, Honor Award, 2014.
This major renovation of a historic church, coupled with a new addition, provides office space for both academic and non-academic departments within 20,000 sqft.
The facade of the new addition references the rhythms and patterns of the existing church building, without repeating them verbatim. The decidedly modern articulation of new aluminium windows in the former church helps decouple its past religious program from its current use, while also strengthening the visual connection of the two buildings as one entity.
This 15,000 sqft building contains practice rooms for the marching band, storage space for instruments and uniforms, and offices for administration. It also includes a large indoor performance space that can accommodate the entire 300-person marching band.
Highly efficient mechanical systems, super-insulation, aggressive glazing choices, and efficient lighting reduce energy costs for the University. The building received LEED Gold certification.

Western Massachusetts American Institute of Architects, Honor Award, 2010.
Inspired by the tobacco barns and farmhouses of the surrounding area, this project was designed as a sustainable spec house for Tomlinson Builders. A single-story, 2,000 sqft home with 3 bedrooms, its open floor plan and flexible layout appeal to a variety of homeowners, from new families to recent retirees.
The simple geometric forms of the home are both modern and traditional, crisp and inviting.
To maintain the natural qualities of the site, outdoor spaces were conceived as small jewels of manicured space set into an otherwise uncultivated landscape.
