A: You can separate your states and define set functions individually, and then you can call those functions  in their respective components. It will be more manageable in my opinion.

MANCHESTER, England — The movement is so slick that it seems almost automatic, a machine whirring to life. In the best possible way, Manchester City's players become thoughtless, operating on muscle memory. They do not need to pause, to think: They know.
Fernandinho has the ball, midway inside Arsenal's half. To his left, Raheem Sterling makes a run, darting outside Stephan Lichtsteiner. Fernandinho does not need to look: He knows where Sterling is.
Now Sterling cushions the ball, perfectly, back to Ilkay Gundogan, a few yards behind him, but his work is not done. He dashes forward again, in expectation rather than hope.
Gundogan flicks the ball over Arsenal's defensive line, disorientated, straight back to Sterling. It looks like creativity, like Gundogan is extemporizing, because that is what we want it to be, because that would make it somehow magical, but the chances are it is exactly the opposite: He will have played that ball, and Sterling will have made that run, a thousand times in training, until the timing is perfect and Pep Guardiola is satisfied.
Only a few seconds have elapsed, but the trap has been set. Sterling is in, down the left side of Arsenal's penalty area, and Sergio Agüero knows where he has to go, where he is meant to be. By now it seems, from the crowd, to be effortless, almost telepathic, but it is mechanical, really. Agüero has materialized at the far post. The ball is at his foot. The goal is open.
That was the second of the three goals that Agüero, and Manchester City, scored in a 3-1 victory against Arsenal on Sunday, though it was not especially different in style from the first or the third: The only real variation, the only distinguishing mark, was how he chose to convert. He put the first past Bernd Leno with his head, the second with his foot, and the third, though the referee Martin Atkinson did not spot it, with the help of his arm.
There was a sense of inevitability about all three of them, a dread predictability. Not because Arsenal — with its new manager and its handful of new players and its new dawn after years of elegant decline under Arsène Wenger — is still, at heart, the most generous and most accommodating of opponents, but because that goal is now City's hallmark, its calling card.
This has been a challenging week for Manchester City. Guardiola kept his players in their changing room for some time after a defeat at Newcastle United on Wednesday, picking over the flaws that had led to their downfall. It had been a fourth defeat in nine league games; something was amiss.
What they needed, then, was a reassertion of identity, and there is no better expression of that identity — of what this City team is, or of what its manager would like it to be — than that second goal. "We have scored a lot like that," Guardiola said after the game.
That is something of an understatement. No team in the Premier League has scored more goals from cutbacks this season, according to the analytics company Opta; 19 of City's 66 goals this year have been scored from inside the 6-yard box. City scores that goal so often that it has become its default setting. Here, it felt almost like it was a comfort blanket, this City team's artful, devastating version of going back to basics. Guardiola's players do not have to think to score that goal. They can do it on autopilot.
That was true during the manager's time at Barcelona and at Bayern Munich, too, of course: More than City's goal, it is Guardiola's. Perhaps, in time, just as a chipped penalty has become known as a Panenka for the man who made it famous, a far-post tap-in from a low cross will take his name.
It is the goal he encouraged Jordi Alba and Dani Alves to help create at Barcelona, though neither needed much encouragement. It is the goal he schooled Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry in assisting in Germany, his only acquiescence to the differing quality of the two squads being that he allowed the latter pair to cross the ball in the air, rather than along the ground — sometimes.
It is the goal that has characterized City's success, too, since he arrived here: 57 times, one of his players has scored from inside the 6-yard box in his time in England. It is as if Guardiola has discovered a glitch in soccer's software, a gamer who has found a cheat that works every time.
Unai Emery, the Arsenal manager, would have known that is what Guardiola would try to do, what City would try to do. He is, after all, a compulsive viewer of forthcoming opponents, a dogged analyst, given to spending hours poring over video.
In the last few days, Emery would have seen that goal countless times, the footage taking on a metronomic, hypnotic quality as City worked the ball out wide, fired in a low cross, over and over, again and again. He would have drilled his defenders in how to cope with it, in what to look for, in anything and everything that might work.
But that is the thing: Once the machine is working, there is little that can stand in its way. It is the most predictable goal in English soccer, but that does not seem to diminish its effectiveness.


A 36-year-old man who was shot and killed in Maywood was identified Sunday by the coroner's office.
The shooting happened at 4:47 p.m. June 14, in the 3700 block of East 56th Street, according to Deputy Trina Schrader of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Information Bureau.
Elias Jimenez was found inside a residence suffering from at least one gunshot wound to his chest, according to Schrader and the coroner's office.
Jimenez was pronounced dead at the scene.
It wasn't immediately clear if Jimenez lived at the residence or if he was visiting. There was no suspect information available.
Anyone with information on this killing was asked to call the sheriff's homicide bureau at (323) 890-5500.

You almost always have to defend yourself when you tell people that you're reading a new tough-guy novel. People look at you as though you lack seriousness when you profess enthusiasm for writers whose novels depend on plot, whose main characters recur again and again, and who write violence artfully. These are not "crime" novels or "mysteries" or "thrillers" — they don't fit into any Kindle categorization. They are books that have grown for the last 80 years from seeds planted by Hammett and Chandler out of a uniquely American soil, and they each taste a little different, depending on the region from which they come.
This fall's red harvest is rich. Last month, we made glowing mention of James Lee Burke's new novel, Feast Day of Fools (Simon & Schuster, $27), which has been the occasion of an outpouring of critical love — perhaps because Burke is now in his 70s and people are starting to realize how much poorer our literary landscape will be if he ever passes. And then came a new book and a new protagonist from George Pelecanos. Then a new Jack Reacher from Lee Child. And then a new Hieronymus Bosch from Michael Connelly. Burke is from the Gulf Coast, Pelecanos is from D. C., Connelly is of Los Angeles, and Child (a Brit who adopted America as well as its only original literary genre) writes from what he hopes and imagines the United States to be. Their protagonists are the same kind of me — tough guys — and everything else is up for grabs.
Pelecanos introduces us to Spero Lucas, and within a single chapter of The Cut (Reagan Arthur Books, $26), we know who he is — Iraq vet, loner, Greek. No one draws character like Pelecanos — which is what makes him useful as a scriptwriter for shows like The Wire and Treme. And no one, no writer of any kind, writes D. C. with the kind of affection that Pelecanos does. Even if you've eaten a half-smoke and were disappointed by it, you're eager to give Ben's Chili Bowl a second chance. The city — in its roiling diversity, both ethnic and criminal — provides Pelecanos endless opportunities for original plotting. And the fresh protagonist has energized his writing: Lucas is a new generation of badass--young, on the make, just out of the military, liberated from any conventional moral code, beholden to no one other than his brother and his mom.
This is Connelly's 15th book starring Bosch, an LAPD detective. The Drop (Little, Brown, $28), like its predecessor, Nine Dragons, is complicated and profoundly dark. Even as Connelly's other star protagonist, Mickey Haller, has suffered through a fame-induced lull (McConaughey tried to play him this past spring), Bosch remains a conflicted, committed, tortured man, navigating both the maze of LAPD political infighting and the depravity of human nature. Oh, and trying to raise the daughter whose mother was brutally murdered in Nine Dragons. And through all the intricacies of plot — and there are many, as Bosch works both the murder/suicide of a politician's son and a cold murder case that appears to indict an eight-year-old boy — The Drop makes you long for the taco trucks of East L. A. and the late-night view from up on Mulholland Drive.
Across the books of all these writers, there is a growing sense of vigilantism. As their characters age, they are more willing to act as the final arbiter, remaining within the bounds of their own code but with less and less regard for details like the law or established hierarchy. They mete out their own version of justice so that they are certain that justice will be served. None more so than Reacher. One of the mysteries of Child's Jack Reacher has long been how he made the transition from enforcing the law of the U. S. Army as a military police investigator to wandering the backroads of America, enforcing his own idea of right. The Affair (Delacorte Press, $28) takes us back in time to Reacher's final investigation as an MP — the murders of beautiful young women just outside the fence of an Army base in rural Mississippi. And in this historical interlude, Reacher crosses a line, imposing a punishment that makes it clear that he has gone rogue and can be beholden to no authority larger than himself.
Each of these guys writes a lot. They are our most prolific authors. You worry about exhaustion, in terms of both their originality and their interest in their own characters. In each case this fall, these books are a renewal and an argument for the continued vitality of the genre.

– japoński zespół heavymetalowy nurtu visual kei, założony w 1982 roku, rozwiązany 30 września 1997, reaktywowany 4 czerwca 2007. Jeden z najbardziej wpływowych i najpopularniejszych japońskich zespołów rockowych w historii. Szacowany nakład ze sprzedaży wszystkich wydawnictw zespołu w samej Japonii sięgnął liczby 30 milionów egzemplarzy z oficjalnymi certyfikatami stowarzyszenia Recording Industry Association of Japan, nagradzającego artystów wyróżnieniami za sprzedaż płyt i singli. Czyni ich to jednymi z artystów z największą liczbą sprzedanych wydawnictw muzycznych w Japonii. Są japońskim zespołem metalowym, który sprzedał najwięcej płyt spośród wszystkich grup reprezentujących ów nurt w Japonii. Oprócz tego zespół może się poszczycić koncertem na scenie cieszącej się renomą goszczenia największych artystów światowej sceny muzycznej – na Madison Squere Garden w Nowym Jorku. Głównym zamysłem grupy było szokowanie publiczności wszelkimi możliwymi sposobami. Ich motto brzmiało: "Psychodeliczna Przemoc – Zbrodnia Wizualnego Szoku". Twórczość grupy silnie inspirowana jest artystami takimi jak Iron Maiden, Sex Pistols, czy David Bowie. Formacja uznawana jest za zespół, który stworzył i wykreował glam metal w Japonii, chociaż jej początkowa twórczość klasyfikowana jest jako thrash metal. X JAPAN uznawani są przez to za pionierów visual kei, choć zespoły wykorzystujące ten koncept istniały już przed nimi, jednak żadnemu z nich nie udało się osiągnąć popularności porównywalnej do X JAPAN.

Historia
Grupa X JAPAN powstała w 1977 roku. Wtedy to znajomi z przedszkola, Yoshiki i Toshimitsu Deyama stworzyli zespół o nazwie 'Naitsu'. Yoshiki był perkusistą, a Toshimitsu zajął się gitarą. Z czasem przyłączyło się do nich parę osób, i Yoshiki zmienił nazwę na 'X'. Toshimitsu przejął rolę wokalisty. Przez sześć lat grali dla zabawy, do roku 1983, kiedy to miał miejsce ich największy dotychczasowy występ. Po ukończeniu Awa High School Yoshiki i Toshimitsu postanowili związać się z muzyką, mimo że wokalista początkowo miał zostać lekarzem. Yoshiki nie miał żadnych problemów – jego matka uważała, że syn najlepiej wie, co dla niego najlepsze. W 1984 dwóch panów wylądowało w Tokio. Skład zespołu zmieniał się nieustannie, stali pozostawali jedynie wokalista i perkusista. W 1985 wydali swoje pierwsze demo zawierające 5 utworów, a w czerwcu pierwszy singel I'll kill you. W lipcu nagrali utwór, który potem znalazł się na albumie Heavy metal force III – Break the darkness. Do tej pory żadna wytwórnia nie była nimi zainteresowana, toteż Yoshiki i Toshimitsu założyli własną wytwórnię. Przedsięwzięcie to finansowała matka Yoshikiego, która sprzedała swój sklep. W ten sposób powstało Extasy Records. W kwietniu wydali singel Orgasm. Żaden z gitarzystów i basistów nie pozostał na dłużej – dopóki nie pojawił się Taiji Sawada. Następnie Yoshiki zaprosił Hideto Matsumoto – byłego lidera zespołu Saber Tiger. Uratowało to Hideto. Po rozpadzie jego zespołu postanowił zostać fryzjerem.

Jakiś czas później przyłączył się do nich Tomoaki Ishizuka, zwany Pata i skład się ustabilizował. Rozpoczęły się trasy koncertowe, a po nagraniu video clipu (Bakuhatu-Sunzengig) zaczęli pojawiać się w TV, radiu i prasie. Wtedy też problemy zaczęło sprawiać słabe zdrowie Yoshikiego – 23 listopada 1989 roku podczas Rose & Blood Tour zasłabł na scenie i cała trasa została odwołana. Mimo to w lutym 1990 została wznowiona. Kolejne dwa lata były bardzo pracowite, wydali parę singli, wygrali konkurs na najlepszy zespół w Japonii, zaś sam Yoshiki wraz z Tetsuyą Komuro założyli zespół 'V2' i wydali album Yoshiki Selection, będący składanką klasycznych utworów Yoshikiego. W 1992 roku Taiji opuścił zespół, w sierpniu na jego miejsce przyszedł Hiroshi Morie – Heath. W tym też roku przechrzcili się na 'X JAPAN', bowiem odkryli, iż w Stanach funkcjonuje zespół o takiej samej nazwie i miewa się całkiem dobrze. W kolejnych latach wydawali album za albumem, teledysk za teledyskiem, singel za singlem. W 1997 roku Toshimitsu postanowił odejść z zespołu – jego wizja muzyki różniła się od Yoshikiego. Yoshiki stwierdził, że X JAPAN jest związane nierozerwalnie z głosem Toshimitsu, zorganizował konferencję prasową i ogłosił koniec zespołu. 31 grudnia odbył się ostatni koncert – Last Live.

W roku 2008 X JAPAN powróciło z piosenką "I.V.", która została wykorzystana jako temat do znanego horroru Piła IV. Niestety już bez gitarzysty Hideto Matsumoto, który prawdopodobnie popełnił samobójstwo 1,5 roku po rozwiązaniu X JAPAN. Mimo to członkowie zespołu nie zapomnieli o byłym gitarzyście. Na teledysku do "I.V." można zobaczyć jedną z gitar hide'a, a także fragmenty z koncertów.

W marcu 2008 X JAPAN odbył trzy koncerty (28, 29 i 30 marca) w Tokyo Dome. W czasie tych trzech koncertów wspólnie z X JAPAN występowali zaproszeni gitarzyści: Wes Borland z Black Light Burns, Richard Fortus z Guns N' Roses i Sugizo z nieistniejącego już LUNA SEA.

X JAPAN uczestniczyli w hide memorial summit – dwudniowym koncercie poświęconym Hideto, który odbył się 3 i 4 maja w Tokyo Stadium. W czasie tych dwóch koncertów wystąpiło ok. dwudziestu artystów, takich jak Dir en grey, LUNA SEA czy T.M. Revolution.

Na wszystkich koncertach X JAPAN po wznowieniu działalności Hideto był obecny dzięki obrazom i wideo.

X JAPAN zaplanowało koncert w Paryżu (Francja) 5 lipca 2008, niestety do niego nie doszło z powodów zdrowotnych Yoshikiego. W Sylwestra odbył się koncert 'COUNTDOWN GIG' w Akasaka Blitz, czyli Hali w której występowali ponad 20 lat temu, nie bez powodu wybrali to miejsce.

W 2009 zagrali 2 koncerty w Hongkongu (16 i 17 stycznia), okrzyknięte zostały najlepszymi koncertami od czasu ich powrotu. Yoshiki w wywiadzie powiedział, że to były dla niego najlepsze koncerty w historii X JAPAN. Były drobne problemy z basistą zespołu – Heathem, który nie zgodził się na kontrakt reklamowy, ale ostatecznie wszystko skończyło się dobrze i Heath razem z chłopakami wystąpił 2 i 3 maja na koncertach w Tokyo Dome i 30 maja w Tajpej (Tajwan). Na koncertach w Tokyo Dome został wykonany nowy utwór – JADE, oraz zaprezentowany nowy, 6 członek zespołu, którym został Sugizo.

W 2010 roku zespół po raz pierwszy wystąpił w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Najpierw na znanym festiwalu Lollapalooza (8 sierpnia) a później, na przełomie września i października w ramach krótkiej trasy koncertowej, która obejmowała również Kanadę. Nieco wcześniej, w sierpniu X JAPAN pokazało się również lokalnym fanom, dając dwa koncerty w Jokohamie (14 i 15 sierpnia) – X JAPAN WORLD TOUR Live in YOKOHAMA. Podczas wszystkich koncertów zaprezentowano nowy utwór "Born to be Free", do którego zespół kręcił teledysk przy współpracy ze Stanem Lee.
W roku 2011 X JAPAN odbyli swoją pierwszą, poważną światową trasę. Zespół odwiedził Londyn(28 czerwca), Paryż (1 lipca), Utrecht (2 lipca), Berlin (4 lipca), Santiago (9 września), São Paulo (11 września), Buenos Aires (14 września), Limę (16 września), Meksyk (18 września), Seul (28 października), Szanghaj (30 października), Hongkong (4 listopada), Tajpej (6 listopada) i Bangkok (8 listopada). W Japonii także dali kilka koncertów, między innymi w Osace i Chibie w ramach festiwalu SUMMER SONIC (13 i 14 sierpnia). 2 listopada planowany był występ w Pekinie, ale został odwołany z przyczyn technicznych. 8 czerwca za pośrednictwem dystrybucji cyfrowej ukazał się singiel Scarlet Love Song. Utwór ten był muzycznym motywem w filmie animowanym "Buddha: The Great Departure" (Tezuka Osamu no Buddha -Akai Sabaku yo! Utsukushiku-). 28 czerwca również w dystrybucji cyfrowej wydali Jade, singiel pierwotnie miał zostać wydany w marcu, ale ze względu na trzęsienie ziemi, które nawiedziło region Tōhoku i wyrządziło ogromne szkody, przełożono jego wydanie. W związku z tą tragedią Yoshiki wystawił na aukcje charytatywną swój fortepian.

W lipcu 2011 roku, kilka dni po incydencie w samolocie, samobójstwo popełnił były basista zespołu Taiji Sawada.

28 kwietnia 2014 roku podczas swojego solowego występu w San Francisco, Yoshiki zapowiedział koncert X JAPAN w Madison Square Garden w Nowym Jorku, który odbył się 11 października owego roku. Był to drugi występ japońskiego zespołu w tym prestiżowym miejscu, albowiem wcześniej, w 2012 roku wystąpili tam L'Arc-en-Ciel. Zespół uświetnił swoje 25-lecie i z tego powodu 17 czerwca do sprzedaży trafi nowa składanka "THE WORLD ~X JAPAN Hatsu no Zensekai Best~". 21 maja album ten został udostępniony w dystrybucji cyfrowej w 111 krajach pod nazwą "THE WORLD".

Q: jquery zclip plugin not firing I'm using the .on() method in delegation to bind a button click to the zclip plugin like so:
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("body").on("click", "#copy-button", function () {
        $(this).zclip({
            path: "http://zeroclipboard.googlecode.com/svn-history/r10/trunk/ZeroClipboard.swf",
            copy: function () {
                var text = 'copied text';
                return text;
            }
       })
    })
})

for the life of me, I cannot get anything copied to the clipboard, anyone have advice?
here's a fiddle:

A: Your path includes nothing . Change your path to this for example: http://www.hurtwood.demon.co.uk/Fun/copter.swf
And you need to add some css for the view for it's very small

        reservation_to_save.comment = reservation_data.get('comment', None)
        reservation_to_save.status = reservation_data.get('status', 'UNCONFIRMED')
        reservation_to_save.arrival_date = reservation_data['arrival_date']
        reservation_to_save.departure_date = reservation_data['departure_date']
        reservation_to_save.confirmation = reservation_data.get('confirmation', None)
        reservation_to_save.is_invoiced = reservation_data.get('is_invoiced', False)
        reservation_to_save.euroamerica = reservation_data.get('euroamerica', False)

        reservation_to_save.save()

        return reservation_to_save

A: According to the documentation you have to add HistoryRequestMiddleware to your middleware in settings.py
Like so:
MIDDLEWARE = [
    # ...
    'simple_history.middleware.HistoryRequestMiddleware',
]

This at least was the solution in my case.
If you don't want to use this middleware you can set the user manually, see this.

Many Political Leaders Took Money From Me: Saradha Scam Accused To PM Modi
HomeAll IndiaMany Political Leaders Took Money From Me: Saradha Scam Accused To PM Modi
"The list includes some political leaders of the CPI (M), BJP, Congress and the Trinamool Congress. I request the CBI and the state police kindly take necessary action against them," Sudipta Sen wrote in the letter, dated December 1.
All IndiaPress Trust of IndiaUpdated: December 06, 2020 10:44 am IST
I request the CBI and the state police to investigate the matter properly: Sudipta Sen (File)
Saradha ponzi scam prime accused Sudipta Sen has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, alleging that several influential people, including prominent political leaders, have taken "financial advantages" from him.
In his letter, a copy of which is with the PTI, Mr Sen, who is still undergoing trial in the multi-crore ponzi scam case, requested the CBI and the state police to initiate action against all those who have taken money from him.
"Respected sir and respected madam, I, Sri Sudipta Sen, owner and director of Saradha Group of companies, want to say that there are many influential persons have taken huge financial advantage from me. No action has been taken."
"The list includes some political leaders of the CPI (M), BJP, Congress and the Trinamool Congress. I request the CBI and the state police kindly take necessary action against them," Mr Sen wrote in the letter, dated December 1.
The undertrial prisoner, currently lodged at the Presidency Correctional Home here, said that earlier, too, he had informed the CBI and the West Bengal Police about the matter, but no step was taken.
"I had told the CBI about all these. It is painful for me to see that those who are talking of high morals have actually cheated poor people... I request the CBI and the state police to investigate the matter properly," he said in the letter, which was submitted as a prisoner's petition for onward submission before the PM and Bengal Chief Minister.
Rubbishing Mr Sen's allegations, CPI (M) leader Sujan Chakraborty said, "This is ridiculous... Leaders of the Congress and the CPI (M) are the ones who have been fighting for the cause of the people that suffered losses due to Saradha scam."
The Congress said "cheap politics" was being practised to malign the party.
Echoing the Congress and the CPI (M), the BJP state leadership also sniffed "dirty politics in the entire matter" but said the CBI will unearth the truth. TMC leaders declined to comment on the issue.
A senior jail official said the letter was yet to be placed before the ADG (Correctional homes) Peeyush Pandey, in accordance with the mandate.
Mr Pandey, when contacted, refused to give any information in this regard.
The Saradha group has allegedly defrauded lakhs of people in West Bengal through its ponzi schemes. Thousands of crores of rupees were lost after the company collapsed in 2013. Its promoter Sudipta Sen and Debjani Mukherjee were arrested the same year from Sonmarg in Kashmir.

The new King of The Netherlands – King Willem-Alexander – has now had a few months to settle into his position. On Thursday 5th September 2013, he was presented with a book called "Mijn droom voor ons land" (My dream for our country). This was co-ordinated by the Nationaal Comite Inhuldiging (The National Inauguration Committee) and is a collection of 300 contributions from citizens in The Netherlands (including the Dutch Caribbean) and is meant as "inspiration for the King" in his new role. In April, the committee called for submissions and a jury chose from more than 6500 ideas.
The jury was made up of: André van Duin, Tensen, Esmaa Alariachi, Hein de Kort, Rahma el Mouden, Bas van de Goor,, Paulette Smit, Ruben Smit, Helga van Leur, Esther Vergeer, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Willemijn Verloop, Albert Verlinde, Müjde, Paul Schnabel en Wendy van Dijk.
Loket van Samen, Loket van de Lach, Loket van Kansen, Loket van Kunst, Loket van Groen, Loket van Beweging, Loket van de Wereld en Loket van Elke Dag.
It's meant as a both a practical and inspiring book for the King but also as a gift from the people of the country to him – but we also receive a free copy! Funded by the Nationale Postcode Loterij, all households in The Netherlands received a voucher this week to be able to collect a print copy "gratis" from a local bookstore.
Even better – if you would like a free digital version, you can Download Het Droomboek here – available on iTunes, Google Play and as an online digital book to flick through. This is a great opportunity for Dutch Australians who aren't currently living in The Netherlands but would like to take a look.

Luca Rigoldi defends against Gamal Yafai
On December 17 at historic Allianz Cloud in Milan (Italy) European super bantamweight champion Luca Rigoldi (Italy, 22-1-2 with 8 KOs) will defend the EBU title against official challenger Gamal Yafai (U.K. 17-1 with10 KOs) in the co-main of the show event promoted behind closed doors by Opi Since 82, Matchroom Boxing Italy and DAZN which will stream it live. It's the third defense for Rigoldi who won the vacant title defeating Jeremy Parodi in France and defended it against Anthony Settoul and Oleksandr Yegorov. Talented Gamal Yafai had a good amateur career winning the bronze medal at the European championships in Moscow in 2010. As a pro Yafai became British Commonwealth and WBC International super bantamweight champion. He lost only against Gavin McDonnell, who had superior experience having fought twice for the world title.
Luca, did you watch Gamal Yafai's fights?
"No, I never watch my opponent's fights. I leave that job to my coach Gino Freo. I trained as usual with my friend Devis Boschiero, former European super featherweight champion.
I started training last June because this fight had been scheduled for March, but the lockdown canceled it. When the lockdown was over nobody knew when promoters would have been able to promote events again. I knew that I had to fight in December about one month and half ago, but I was already training and in top shape."
Gamal Yafai had a nice amateur career. What about you.
"I became regional champion in 2013 and 2014. I won the bronze medal at the Italian championships in 2013 and 2014. I won the silver medal at the tournament Les Ceintures in Paris in 2014. I took part to an event promoted at legendary Gleason's Gym in New York. I never competed for the Italian national team."
Angelo Leo vs. Stephen Fulton Jr on Jan.23 on Showtime
How much do you train when you fight for the European belt?
"it depends, I train one or twice a day. In the morning I do athletic work while in the evening I go to the gym for my boxing training."
While you train do you have a famous fighter in mind that you would like to emulate? Or did you have it in the past?
"I don't try and I never tried to copy the boxing style of a famous fighter. As a human being, I like Manny Pacquiao because he still is an humble man who makes charity and who likes to stay among common people."
In the main event Devis Boschiero (Italy, 48-6-2 with 22 KOs) will fight Francesco Patera
(Belgium, 23-3 with 8 KOs) for the vacant WBC Silver lightweight title. Also on the card, IBF world super featherweight champion Maiva Hamadouche (France, 21-1 with 17 KOs) will defend against Nina Pavlovic (Serbia, 6-3-1 con 1 KO). Euro super lightweight champion Sandor Martin (Spain, 36-2 with 13 KOs) will fight Nestor Maradiaga (Nicaragua, 8-9-1, with 4 KOs) in a non title affair on the 8 rounds distance. Roman super welterweight prospect Mirko Natalizi (8-0 with 5 KOs) will fight Manuel Largacha (Panama, 9-9-6 with 4 KOs) on the 8 rounds distance. Opening the show, Samuel Gonzalez (Venezuela, 22-7 with 13 KOs) will fight Nicola Henchiri (Italy, 8-3-2) on the 6 rounds distance.

Playing as a right winger, he played 18 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Los Angeles Kings, Boston Bruins, Washington Capitals and Phoenix Coyotes.

Playing career[edit]
As a youth, Tocchet played in the 1977 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Toronto.[1]
After being drafted in the 6th round (121st overall) by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, Tocchet returned to the OHL's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds for another year of junior hockey. After registering 108 points with Sault Ste. Marie, Tocchet came to the Flyers for the 1984–85 season, scoring 39 points and helping the team to the Stanley Cup Finals. He was mainly known as a fighter in his early career, but soon developed his skills enough to become a respected power forward, a team leader and a four-time NHL All-Star. He had memorable fights with other power forwards such as Wendel Clark and Cam Neely.
In 1992, Tocchet was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins, along with Kjell Samuelsson and Ken Wregget, in exchange for Mark Recchi. In 14 playoff games, he scored 19 points, helping the Penguins repeat as Stanley Cup champions.
Tocchet became a well-travelled veteran in the league after his stint with the Penguins, taking roles with the Los Angeles Kings, Boston Bruins, Washington Capitals, and Phoenix Coyotes. Rick returned to the Flyers in 2000, adding 11 points en route to an Eastern Conference Finals berth. Tocchet retired after 2001–02 season, being one of several players in NHL history to collect 400 goals and 2,000 penalty minutes including Brendan Shanahan and Gary Roberts.
Coaching career[edit]
He became an assistant coach for the Colorado Avalanche in 2002–03. In the summer of 2005, he became an assistant coach with the Phoenix Coyotes. On December 17, 2005, Tocchet took over as interim head coach for Phoenix, stepping in while head coach Wayne Gretzky was out on an indefinite leave of absence due to his mother's illness (and subsequent passing). The team went 2–3–0 under Tocchet. Gretzky eventually resumed his duties on December 28.

Tocchet was named as the associate coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning on July 9, 2008.[2] On November 16, he was named the interim head coach of the Lightning, replacing Barry Melrose who was fired two days earlier after compiling a 5–7–4 record. Tocchet lost his first game to the Carolina Hurricanes in a shootout.[3] Tocchet's first win came two games later on November 21 against the Nashville Predators. However, he would go on to lose his next nine games, and twelve of the next thirteen.[4] On May 11, 2009 Tocchet had the interim tag removed and was signed to a two-year deal by the Lightning.[5] On April 12, 2010 he was relieved of his coaching duties by the new ownership of the Tampa Bay Lightning. On June 25, 2014, he was hired by the Pittsburgh Penguins to be an assistant coach. On June 12, 2016, Tocchet won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins. He won his second Stanley Cup as coach on June 11, 2017, when the Penguins defeated the Nashville Predators in six games.
On July 11, 2017, Tocchet was named head coach for the Arizona Coyotes.[6]
Analyst[edit]
After leaving Tampa Bay, Tocchet served alongside Michael Barkann, Al Morganti, Bill Clement and Steve Coates as a Flyers Postgame Live panelist on Comcast SportsNet.
Criminal charges[edit]
On February 6, 2006, Tocchet was served with a criminal complaint, accused of financing a nationwide sports gambling ring based in New Jersey in which several current NHL players wagered.[7] "It's not a hockey-related issue, it's a football thing. And at this time I can't comment any further," Tocchet told The Arizona Republic after the Coyotes practiced on February 7, 2006.[8]
On May 8, 2006, attorneys for Tocchet and Gretzky's wife Janet Jones filed notices in New Jersey that they intended to sue the state for $50 million each for defamation. Both Tocchet and Jones claimed to have lost business opportunities in the wake of the state's investigation, which had sullied their reputations.[9]
On August 3, 2006, former New Jersey state trooper James Harney pleaded guilty to conspiracy, promoting gambling, and official misconduct, and promised to help authorities with their case against Tocchet and others. Harney said that he and Tocchet were 50–50 partners in the betting ring.[10]
On May 25, 2007, Tocchet pleaded guilty to conspiracy and promoting gambling. New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram announced on August 17, 2007, that Tocchet had been sentenced to two years probation in exchange for his plea. He could have received up to five years in New Jersey state prison, but there is a presumption against incarceration for first-time offenders who plead guilty to such crimes. [11]
The NHL issued a statement from Gary Bettman, but his spokesman would not answer questions, including if Tocchet had a future in hockey.[12]
During a press conference on February 6, 2008, it was announced that Tocchet was to be reinstated, and would serve as assistant coach the next day, exactly two years after taking a leave of absence.[13] Among other conditions of his reinstatement, Tocchet was ordered by Bettman to abstain from all forms of gambling.
3-time Stanley Cup champion with the Pittsburgh Penguins: 1992 (as player), 2016 (as assistant coach); and 2017 (as assistant coach).

I went to breakfast at Scenic 90 Cafe, but was somewhat disappointed, as they have quit serving hashbrowns and only have potatoes simmered with onions. Afterwards, I drove out to the Cordova Mall with promotional materials, but there were no urban clothing stores there, and the FYE music store could only accept the CD promos and not the posters. I was able to put up some posters at Tom's Records on Navy Boulevard, and that seems to be the city's main rap store. The music conference's beach party was to start at noon at Pensacola Beach, so I drove across the toll bridge onto the island, but while there were large crowds everywhere, I didn't see anybody from our conference out there. I had wanted to attend, because there was to be barbecue, and live performances, but Trinigal, the conference organizer called me and told me that the start time had to be pushed back two hours because nobody woke up until the afternoon. Unfortunately, I had to drive back to Memphis in the afternoon, so I couldn't wait for the beach party to start. I decided to eat lunch at Surf Burger and then head out for Memphis, but I literally could not find any place to park, so I drove back up 9th Avenue in Pensacola to L & N Record Store near the projects, but they were still closed. Out on I-10 in Alabama, I saw a billboard for a California Dreaming restaurant at the Eastern Shore Center in Spanish Fort, so I got off the road there to eat lunch. I had a filet mignon sandwich there, and then headed out Highway 45 through Eight Mile and into Mississippi. At Tupelo, I stopped for dinner at a Santa Fe Cattle Company, which was really good, but I could not find any coffee bars open at that time of night, so I headed on to Memphis.


I can't believe that exactly one year ago we were exploring this beautiful country!
Fun Fact: The best food was the buffet at the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary- made from scratch with major love!
Fun Fact II: They kept the Lady Boy Show brochures in a locked cabinet away from the other activity brochures at the hotel we stayed in.
I love this post! Sometimes photos paint words that words can't actually paint. This is INSPIRING. I love the fun facts too. Great post.


Then what would that be?
I've cruised MSC before. I've cruised on Divina's sister before. I've holidayed in both USA and the Carribean. No stranger to MSC or the American way of doing things.
I want to know something about the Divina that surprised, delighted, infuriated, annoyed, impressed, comforted or uneased you.
Was thoroughly impressed with the Sunday-Thursday evening shows. After attending the Sunday evening show, I couldn't wait until the next night and so on. Very professional and a first class act!!!
p.s. the bacon was very good so I give it my vote to keep the bacon just how it is!
Our recent cruise on Divina had more live music and dancing venues than any of five others ships we have sailed. Of course Divina was the largest ship with her 4300 passengers, perhaps why she was dancing from stem to stern. And something for everyone, from Latin to Motown to Country and some classical and that great pianist in the crystal staired atrium.
Entertainment is the best at sea especially the theatre shows and the buffet food was also fabulous. Bacon much better than carnival and rcl.
The Yacht Club is the most extraordinary experience we have ever encountered on the many cruises we have been on.
YACHT CLUB YACHT CLUB YACHT CLUB!!!!!
WOW, yc at those prices just make us steerage fools drool.
LARGE shrimp cocktail in the Main dining room, unlike the cruiseship I was just on.
YACHT CLUB! YACHT CLUB!! YACHT CLUB!!! Just off the Divina today. What can I say, from being escorted by one of the butlers, from the curb at the port, to a private Yacht Club area to check in. Once on-board, another butler escorts you to the Yacht Club where the Concierge explains all of the benefits of the Yacht Club and the included spa amenities. We were then handed off to the Maitre-De,(Giovanni) of the Yacht Club dining room, (LeMuse), to go over our dining options.
Jonathan, our butler, had items we drank from our in-room mini bar, replaced after we had left for only 10 minutes. I am not kidding you when I say this,,,it happened on multiple occasions, and we have yet to try and find out how they do it. Juliano, Naomid, and Danilo at the One Bar, what can I say,,their service is absolutely incredible. Lying by the pool, our drinks were refreshed without having to even ask for another drink,, again,,just first class service all the way.
One more thing regarding the Yacht Club which maybe not everyone may know. There are card readers in some of the elevators, once you insert your Yacht Club card and select the floor you would like to go to, the elevator will bypass any of the other floors that were selected and take you to your floor immediately. On more than one occasion I had people in the elevator with me, asking why the elevator didn't stop on their floor,,I wasn't about to tell them why.
Some of the entertainment seemed repetitive to me, the dancers and performers basically did the same stunts just in different costumes.
You really only have to see three shows: Michael Jackson, The Opera and just one of the shows inbetween.
We just came back from a 3 day, 2 night sailing to the Bahamas. Our YC1 (16009) with taxes and pre-paid gratuities came to a little over $1400.00 for the two of us. This includes all of your drinks within the Yacht Club itself, drinks in any of the bars or lounges outside of the Yacht Club are extra unless you purchase the Allegrisimo package or vouchers, as well as dinner at the LeMuse restaurant, Yacht Club members only dining room. On deck 18 there is the One Bar as well as different buffet items throughout the day. The food here was outstanding!!!! We ate breakfast and lunch here. Just a quick plug, the bacon is phenomenal!!! A good mix for those who like their bacon crispy and not so well done.
It is not as good as the Poesia.
I agree. Poesia was more intimate, not so crowded. But, Divina, with it's big 4300 capacity, had more live music and dancing all over. Food was less impressive, shorter menu, but still the best value in the Carib!!!
When you get back onboard tell Giovanni hi from Tom and Gerry, Linda and Hil and tell him we will see him on the Christmas cruise!
Gerry,,will do. Giovanni wasn't a very happy camper this past weekend though. He rubbed some people the wrong way and unfortunately a few guests left LeMuse screaming at him. It's in my nature to give people the benefit of the doubt but he rubbed our group of 4 the wrong way as well. Even though there were plenty of available tables to accommodate our party of four, he told us we had to come back 45 minutes after our scheduled dinner time of 9:00. I understand he may have been under a certain amount of stress trying to accommodate everyone for dinner, but you need to check the attitude at the door especially when you work in the hospitality business, as they say, one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch. We'll hesitantly try him again in August if he is still there. The food in LeMuse was superb but unfortunately Giovanni left us with a bad taste in our mouth.
And the food, amenities - different world.
What we liked more on the Divina - a couple of shows. Very good.
You were right about seats in MDR - never seen that on other ships.
Its not even close right now with the Divina's prices and the excellent value you receive for these prices! Even our benes. from other cruise lines wouldn't have given us a better value for what we paid for the Divina!
We spent 14 days on the Divina, and 'never' had bad service, bad food, in fact our service was excellent, as was the food!
American,,I am simply posting an observation from this past weekends experience. Like I posted above, I am willing to give Giovanni the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he was stressed trying to accommodate everyone for dinner because of the short cruise duration, I don't know, but this one minor incident doesn't detract us from cruising with MSC again, in fact we are booked for 3 more sailings and I am looking to book another to fill the gap between our August and April sailings.
One thing, Giovanni in Black Crab was horrible! Dine in Villa Rosa, much nicer with Mario!

Fleet Alert!, USS Churchill, USS Sovereign, USS Tesla
Fleet Alert!, USS Tesla
Fleet Alert!, USS Sovereign, USS Tesla
USS Tesla: Shakedown Cruise Successful!
USS Tesla
Having had units all over the UK from London to Edinburgh, Starfleet Command has been going strong for more than three decades. With resources spread throughout the UK, the Admiralty board held a fleet wide consultation throughout 2015 and towards the end of te year both members and the board opted to make the fleet stronger by merging units to bring the fleet together.
While we expect things to change over the coming years as we work hard on restructuring and modernising the fleet to come in line with todays fanbase and membership, we stand proud with two large regional units in the North and South.
Regional Command Unit |South England & Wales
Commissioned in late 2015 as part of our restructuring, the bold Galaxy Class Churchill is a new unit designed to encompass the South of England and Midlands as a base of operations.
Regional Command Unit | Northern England, Midlands, Ireland, EU
Previously serving as our catch-all internet unit, the Sovereign is a long-running integral part of SFC. Ever expanding, Sovereign has become the base of Operations for all members in the region and all future operation in smaller regional groups within it's range
Active Unit | Scotland
Officially launched in 2018, the USS Tesla is the only current active unit within Quadrant 2 with a membership base between Edinburgh & Glasgow with a focus on social interaction and events across the country.
Every Star Trek fans dreams of being the captain of their own Starship and while running an SFC Quadrant 2 Unit is (probably) easier than commanding a starship, both roles require commitment and dedication.
After a massive re-orginisation of our fleet, Quadrant 2 has cleared space for new units to come together with a combination of new and veteran members and we're laying open the opportunity to sit at the captains table and create your own corner of Starfleet.
Unit's are, and always will be, the core of SFC. It is within them that members can indulge in their shared interests for Star Trek and science fiction while enjoying the company of fellow fans and like minded people. At their best, units are a unique and welcoming social group that can be as rewarding as they are challenging.
Unit CO's are considered senior members of SFC who take command of their local area's, organise events, meetups and all aspects of operations. CO's not only have the backing and support of the Admiralty Board, but access to supplies, information and can help to shape the future of the club and our policies moving forward.
After a lot of planning and discussion, the first of these new units found it's launch in 2018 paving the way forward for future generations of SFC to follow their lead and build a new vibrant community in your area.
If you think you have what it takes to organise and lead, Q2 are looking for the right people in several hot spots to take the challenge and offer extensive help and support in taking on 'the chair'.
Our 'Command Training' program is available to any and all officers of Quadrant 2, further information can be found in our Members Resources section or by consulting with the Admiralty Board.
Over the years many units have come and gone. Units that have disbanded or have been decommissioned are traditionally sent to our Clydeside Dockyards. While this is not an exhaustive list, the following decommissioned units mark some of our most recent, or in several cases most noteworthy, the following units remain permanently stationed in holding.
USS Valkyrie
USS Pendragon
USS Northumberland
USS Old Sarum
USS Daring
Decomissioned 2016

Court of Appeal Civil Division live hearings
Norman & anr (claimants/appellants) v Adler & anr (defendants/respondents)
By Appellant's notice filed on 2 December 2021 the claimants appeal the order of Mr Justice Kerr dated 12 November 2021.
The Appellants, husband and wife, appeal the decision to refuse their application to have the Respondents, both police officers for Essex police, committed to prison for contempt of Court. The background relates to the execution of a warrant, based on suspected money laundering, to search the Appellants' home and seize goods. The warrant was obtained on evidence given by the Respondents. Ultimately no further action was taken. In separate judicial review proceedings, the Chief Constable of Essex Police conceded that the warrant should be quashed and all seized property returned. Supperstone J made an order on 4 February 2020 giving effect to that concession and directed damages of £3,500 to the Appellants' son. In the present proceedings the Appellants allege that the Respondents knowingly misled the Court when the warrant was obtained. Kerr J did not accept this submission and although Kerr J noted that the warrant should not have been applied for or granted, it did not follow that there was a strong prima facie case that contempt was committed.

You may be familiar with the ripple delete tool if you've worked in other video editing programs. It basically removes a section of your timeline, then pulls all the media down to fill in the gap. Camtasia 8 doesn't actually have a ripple delete tool, but in this video you'll learn a trick that works just as well.

i-D : Adwoa Aboah Opens Up About Mental Health
As her Gurls Talk platform spreads a message of openness across Instagram and beyond, the 23-year-old model-activist talks honestly about struggling with depression, addiction and an attempted suicide before detailing how a chance encounter with a women's meeting inspired her to first help herself, and then, a world-wide-web of women.
Photography Rosaline Shahnavaz
While only 23-years old, Londoner Adwoa Aboah has already carved out a successful career as a model. She's been photographed by Tim Walker for the cover of Italian Vogue, walked for Marc Jacobs and starred in the Calvin Klein Spring/Summer '16 campaign alongside the likes of FKA Twigs and Justin Beiber. And though she's making waves in the fashion world for her unique beauty and style, it's her second job as the founder of Gurls Talk that's kicking up a storm.
Gurls Talk is an instagram community that aims to open up the conversation around mental health and addiction for teen girls by fostering mentoring and communication between peers. The idea came to Adwoa in 2014 after she emerged from rehab in Arizona after attempting suicide, it was during her recovery that she realised that not all girls have the resources to get help. Using the hashtag #letsgetgurlstalking, Adwoa spreads a larger message of openness for young women, a message she also plans on taking into local schools through workshops. Currently in the process of turning the Instagram account into a fully-fledged charity, we caught up with the inspirational model-activist from her home in Los Angeles.
What made you realise that you had to turn your life around?
I had just come out of psychiatric care, this was about a month after I had tried to commit suicide and it was a very sensitive period. My parents were stepping on eggshells, there was this fear that if I left the house that I would never return. That's just what happens, you have to deal with the repercussions of what something like that will bring up in other people. But, I remember leaving the house and I found this meeting down the road and coincidentally it was a women's meeting. I walked in and for the first time I thought I have to do this properly – I realised I couldn't do it my own way anymore because that just doesn't work – these women let me cry and be myself. It was the first meeting I ever did in my chair, which is where you tell your story and I think it was there that I just woke up.
Did those women's meetings inspire Gurls Talk?
Definitely, the format was so simple just a group of women talking without any judgement. Someone could put their hand up and say, 'I'm not really enjoying being a wife or a mother' and there was no judgment in that room. Their raw sense of honesty inspired me to be more open and made me realise what I wanted to do.
I was never educated on mental health; I was never educated on addiction. Emotions were never the most important thing when I was at school; it was all about academics and this constant performance of pretending that you're okay and getting on with life. I came from a privileged background, which I am so grateful for, but it played a part in my feeling that I couldn't complain about my own emotions. I also felt that I was completely alone in my feelings, and that was wrong. Gurls Talk is everything I wanted at school but never got, so now it's just my time, my responsibility to give it to others.
Do girls reach out to you on instagram?
Since opening up and going on this journey with Gurls Talk, the amount of people who have reached out with their own stories has been overwhelming. I feel just a huge responsibility to give back, because I dealt with these dark experiences and was able to learn and grow from them; I came out the other side, and not everyone gets that chance. I've met so many girls through Gurls Talk and they are some of my closest friends. We talk on a regular basis, they know everything about me and I know everything about them. It's this weird online relationship, but it's beautiful and I hope they feel as good as it makes me feel.
How do you find the balance between modelling and running Gurls Talk?
I'm so entirely grateful for modelling because it allows me to fund Gurls Talk. I've met so many wonderful people and get to do all these amazing things through modelling, but it does take me away from my main focus, which is Gurls Talk. Gurls Talk is my life – it's always at the forefront of my mind and what I want to dedicate my life to.
As an advocate female solidarity, do you think feminism and fashion are compatible?
I think fashion needs feminism. I feel like they contradict themselves a lot of the time because people aren't willing to work outside of the box and take risks. The fashion industry needs diversity, they need those conversations opened and be willing for those changes. There are so many unknown women out there doing such amazing things, who are so beautiful in so many different ways – wouldn't it be amazing to put them on the cover instead of a girl who isn't necessarily contributing anything to the world?
Do you think Gurls Talk has impacted your relationship with modelling?
I was around 16 when I first started modelling and it wasn't really something I wanted to pursue, it just happened. I was lucky enough that it fell into my lap without me necessarily looking for it. But when you have a particular view about yourself, it doesn't matter how many people tell you how beautiful you are unless you feel that about yourself. I spent so many years modelling thinking that I wasn't good enough but that's definitely changed now. If I stay true to myself, it hurts way less than pretending to be the person people want me to be. I have other things that I love and if someone doesn't want to use me for a job, it hurts for a second but I don't dwell on it anymore because I know I have a different journey that I need to take.

Are You a Creator, Or a Duplicator?
Dang it.
Here I sit watching the Olympics and – once again – I see other countries beating the USA in sports it invented.
Example: freestyle aerial skiing. A sport that – by its very "freestyle" nature – could have only emerged from a dynamic American culture.
But tonight I watch Chinese aerialists performing with pin-point precision, and taking the U.S. team to school.
Example #2: half-pipe snowboarding. In the early days, the U.S. dominated this sport (one that the U.S. invented). Now, the pressure's on. The honeymoon's over. (Japan won silver and bronze; Switzerland, gold.)
As other countries catch on, once-comfortable U.S. athletes are often caught flat-footed. And therefore, vulnerable to emerging competition.
This endangerment, strangely enough, has its upsides. By living in a fluid U.S. culture, where ideas bump into each other, creative athletes start spotting fresh patterns; and invent new sports to dominate and grow.
Consider the solo-sports that have emerged from the U.S.: surfing, skateboarding, freestyle motocross and half-pipe snowboarding. Could these freestyle-oriented sports have been invented in the more authoritarian cultures of China or Japan?
It's possible, but not likely.
So, what should the U.S. do to remain competitive? What's its strategy for overall athletic success?
The answer, I know not.
But while watching the Olympics, I think about how this situation relates to U.S. business innovation and sustainability. And to us as individual workers.
In categories that U.S. companies invent (i.e. cordless telephone, iPod, minicomputer), they reap benefits for a period of time, but are soon overtaken by other countries that learn to do them cheaper and better.
To me, this leads to three options, which can be applied to both U.S. sports and businesses. They can either:
apply all resources towards improving things they invent, to extend product and performance life-cycles; or
abandon their inventions when they start maturing, quickly re-direct resources to create the "next thing," and continue this type of cycle; or
split resources between the two options above, then deliberately re-assign resources (to discover the "next thing") at the most optimal point on the life-cycle curve.
Should U.S. companies invest more into improving the activity or product that they invented? Or, should they quickly re-direct resources at critical maturation points to create new opportunities from which to dominate?
Should the U.S. aspire to be the best creators of the world, or the best duplicators?
How about you, as an individual? Should you be a creator, or a duplicator?
As the world gets increasingly competitive -- and as product life cycles shorten -- it's never been more important to re-invent; to create the next thing. Including your self.
As the world changes, are you where you need to be? Make the shift.

Liu Ye at Fondazione Prada
Artist: Liu Ye
Venue: Fondazione Prada, Milan
Exhibition Title: Storytelling
Date: January 30, 2020 – January 10, 2021
Curated by: Udo Kittelmann

Milan, 16 December 2019 – Fondazione Prada presents Storytelling, a solo show by Chinese painter Liu Ye curated by Udo Kittelmann. On view from 30 January to 10 January 2021 (press preview on 29 January), it will take place in Nord gallery at Fondazione Prada's Milan venue. Following the first iteration held in 2018 at Prada Rong Zhai in Shanghai, the exhibition travels to Milan for a new presentation, featuring a selection of 35 paintings realized from 1992 onwards.
In Shanghai Liu Ye's works related harmoniously with the 1918 historical residence's original furnishings, decorations and colours, creating a symbiotic relationship with the intimate spaces and small rooms of Prada Rong Zhai. In Milan the paintings will generate a chromatic and material contrast with the concrete walls and the industrial environment of Fondazione Prada's venue, in order to activate a new narrative sequence and an enigmatic contrast with these large exhibition spaces. The geographical dislocation will contribute to focus on the ability of Liu Ye to create a personal pictorial universe, which does not align with any particular artistic movement.
Liu Ye expresses an intimate and sensual imagination, that feeds on heterogeneous sources related to literature, history of art and popular culture from the Western and Eastern world, giving rise to atmospheres which evoke introspection, purity and suspension. In the artist's body of works the stylistic features of fairy-tales coexist with a sense of humor and a parodic vein. Referring to his own artistic production, Liu Ye underlined that "every work is my selfportrait".
Combining different elements and sources, his paintings are generated by a plurality of creative forces: memory, observation, imagination and artistic education. All his works are pervaded by a certain ambiguity as they seem suspended between two worlds: reality and invention. During his career he created a personal domain, at the same time accessible and impenetrable to others, which can be described as a subjective reality. One of the most distinctive feature of Liu Ye's initial approach was the collision of anachronisms, typical of an individual immersed in a foreign culture: modern art motives combined with old masters' quotations, western cultural references associated to Chinese cultural icons. The autobiographical nature of his work assumed another connotation after his return to his homeland from Europe in the late nineties. He employed his art as a mean of self-exploration and discovery, in a context in which artistic creation and daily life mutually influenced each other. As he specified, "Even though I have never become an abstract artist, I am nonetheless interested in stripping down narrative and simplifying." His visual narratives don't progress linearly or logically; they are based on contrast as a collage of different forms and languages.
As Udo Kittelmann highlights, "I experienced his paintings as sensitive pictorial messages relayed between two worlds that are often viewed as contradictory: Western cultures versus Asian cultures. Even back then, Liu Ye's paintings struck me as manifesting a dialectical constellation, for his work is not only interwoven in many ways with China's manifold cultural developments; it also bears witness to a profound knowledge of the history of European culture and painting. His pictures are grounded equally in traditional Eastern and Western intellectual and artistic trends, conjoining the strengths of the past and the future."
Liu Ye was born in 1964 in Beijing, China where he currently lives and works. He studied mural painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts from 1986 to 1989 and industrial design at the School of Arts & Crafts, both in Beijing, China. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin in 1994. In 1998, he was Artist in Residence at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. Recent solo shows and group exhibitions include: Liu Ye: Storytelling, Prada Rong Zhai, Shanghai (2018); Hello World. Revising a Collection, Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin (2018); 57th Venice Biennale VIVA ARTE VIVA curated by Christine Macel (2017); Mondriaan and Liu Ye, Mondriaanhuis, Amersfoort (2016); The World in 2015, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing (2015); Focus Beijing: De Heus-Zomer Collection, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2014); Re-View, opening exhibition of Long Museum West Bund, Shanghai (2014); MYTH/HISTORY: Yuz Collection of Contemporary Art, Yuz Museum, Shanghai (2014); Hans van Dijk: 5000 names, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing (2014); Through All Ages, opening exhibition of Long Museum, Shanghai (2012); In Time – 2012 Chinese Oil Painting Biennale, National Art Museum of China, Beijing (2012) Future Pass – From Asia to the World, Wereldmuseum, Rotterdam (2011); Chinamania, Arken Museum of Modern Art, Ishøj (2009); Mahjong: Contemporary Chinese Art from the Sigg Collection, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, University of California, Berkeley (2008). Liu Ye's works are part of permanent collections of the China Art Museum, Shanghai; the Long Museum, Shanghai; the M+ Sigg Collection, Hong Kong, the Yuz Museum, Shanghai and Today Art Museum, Beijing among other international institutions.

Week in Review: January 17, 2021
"Mere Skyn" at CAPC


Crystal D held its annual WOW Day on January 25 this year. The company named 18 new award winners at the 17th annual event.
Each year, new award winners are recognized for their hard work at Crystal D. The biggest awards went to five new value champions and one new grand value champion. The "winners are nominated throughout the year by their peers…The grand value champion is a former value champion who embodies all five core values. Final selections were made by the management team," states Jen Jezierski, marketing coordinator at Crystal D. The core values of Crystal D include integrity, quality, respect, commitment, and passion.
What originally began as a half-day meeting that recapped the previous year's sales and gave employees next year's sales goals, WOW Day is now an all-day celebration to honor the value champions. In 2009, Crystal D recognized its first grand value champion.
Mike Irvine, COO, gave a presentation about goals for 2019, and Chuck Dahlgren, president, gave a presentation about community outreach, which led to the Volunteer of the Year award. Dahlgren also spoke about his goals to grow the company. Audra Lehnert, marketing coordinator at Crystal D, spoke about how to better communicate as a company.
"The other fun part of WOW Day this year was our drum core called the Crystal D Dyamos. Six of us learned how to play three songs on the drums and performed throughout the day. Our drum core consisted of Mike Pooler, Eric Wiberg, Adam Leonhardt, Jen Jezierski, Travis Brynness, and Bonnie Lopez. We also had skits by each table team," Jezierski adds.
In addition to the main awards, twelve other awards were distributed during WOW Day.
