Downtown Atlanta is the central business district of Atlanta, Georgia.
The largest of the city's three commercial districts, welcome to the home of many corporate and regional headquarters; city, county, state and federal government facilities; Georgia State University; sports arenas; and many of Atlanta's tourist attractions. The area measures approximately four square miles. Like other central business districts in the U.S., the neighborhood has recently undergone a transformation that included the construction of new condos and lofts, renovation of historic buildings, and arrival of new residents and businesses.
Downtown is bound by North Avenue to the north, Boulevard to the east, Interstate 20 to the south, and Northside Drive to the west. This definition neighborhood includes central areas like Five Points, the Hotel District and Fairlie-Poplar and outlying inner city neighborhoods such as SoNo and Castleberry Hill.
The 1996 Olympic Games, along with the transformation of Georgia State University from a commuter school to a traditional college, initiated a resurgence that continues today. They resulted in Centennial Olympic Park, which was built as a physical memorial to the games in the former industrial area west of Five Points. In the following decade, Centennial Olympic Park spurred the creation of a tourist district anchored by the World of Coca-Cola, the Georgia Aquarium, the CNN Center, the Center for Civil and Human Rights, and the College Football Hall of Fame. Following the 1996 games, Georgia State University president Carl Patton, an urban planner, initiated a University-led transformation of the area that sought to make Georgia State "a part of the city, not apart from the city." Dubbed the Main Street Master Plan, Patton's vision has been executed through billions of dollars of urban construction, boosting the economy and population.

Reports of a missing swimmer on the South Coast have turned out to be hoax. Search teams were expected to return to the area near Gillards Beach in the Mimosa Rocks National Park on Saturday morning but were stood down by police. "Our understanding is that the situation was a hoax, but beyond that we don't have any other details," director of lifesaving for Surf Life Saving NSW Far South Coast Cheryl McCarthy told the Bega District News. NSW Police South Coast District Chief Inspector Peter Volf confirmed that a 42-year-old Victorian man is wanted for making a false report to police. It's understood the man is also wanted in Victoria on separate fraud matters. Read more: Wollongong's ex-prison gang leader jailed for nearly eight years "He's now wanted in two states," Inspector Volf told the Bega District News. While initial coverage of the search efforts at Gillards included the involvement and reports made to authorities by a twin brother, Inspector Volf said investigations have now revealed there was no twin brother and it was the man himself looking to assume the identity to thwart police investigations. "It was a major response to the missing person report - it's very disappointing for all involved," Inspector Volf said. As well as lay charges on the Victorian man, it's thought police would also likely seek compensation for the huge use of emergency response services, estimated at approaching $1 million, Inspector Volf said. Search efforts began around 5.30pm on Wednesday, August 14, following reports a man had gone missing at Gillards Beach within Mimosa Rocks National Park, north of Tathra. It was reported at the time that the man's twin brother, who was visiting the area with him, had left him at the beach and driven back into Tathra for a couple of hours. Upon his return he found clothes and personal belongings on the beach but no sign of his brother. NSW Police Marine Area Command was supported by emergency search teams from Surf life saving clubs up and down the coast, Merimbula and Bermagui Marine Rescue, Bega Valley SES volunteers, NSW Ambulance, PolAir and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. Ms McCarthy said it was "frustrating and disappointing" for volunteers, who freely give of their time for these callouts, often in situations that aren't always safe for them either. "We had 25 people involved over the three days, all volunteers. [But] there are lots of positives here that we can look to - there's no substitute for training than the real thing. And I'm really proud of the way they worked together." The amount of resources expended across the three-day search goes beyond personnel as well Ms McCarthy said. "There's the fuel costs, particularly with the Westpac helicopter and Toll Air Ambulance - we threww everything at this." Westpac Life Saver Helicopter CEO Stephen Leahy said the use of the chopper cost in the order of $33,000. "We flew for nine and a half hours over two days at a cost of $33,000 - that's a lot donations to lifesavers. "No shadow of a doubt that's what emergency services are there for. But if another incident had occurred there was potential the resources would not have been available." Inspector Volf praised everyone involved in the search saying it was a tremendous effort, although disappointing "and all for nought".

Q: substring -- c inline assembly code I write a code that get substring of a string with gcc inline assembly. but always get problem when I want to get the substring whose length is 8. here is the code
static inline char * asm_sub_str(char *dest, char *src, int s_idx, int edix)
{
    __asm__ __volatile__("cld\n\t"
                         "rep\n\t"
                         "movsb"
                         :
                         :"S"(src + s_idx), "D"(dest), "c"(edix - s_idx + 1)
                         );
    return dest;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

    char my_string[STRINGSIZE] = "abc defghij";
    char asm_my_sub_string[STRINGSIZE];

    int sidx,eidx;

    sidx = 0;
    eidx = 5;
    char *d1 = asm_sub_str(asm_my_sub_string, my_string, sidx, eidx);
    printf("d1[%d-%d]: %s\n",sidx, eidx, d1);

    sidx = 0;
    eidx = 7;
    d1 = asm_sub_str(asm_my_sub_string, my_string, sidx, eidx);
    printf("d1[%d-%d]: %s\n",sidx, eidx, d1);

    sidx = 0;
    eidx = 9;
    d1 = asm_sub_str(asm_my_sub_string, my_string, sidx, eidx);
    printf("d1[%d-%d]: %s\n",sidx, eidx, d1);

}

here is the output
d1[0-5]: abc de
d1[0-7]: abc defg?
d1[0-9]: abc defghi

any idea?????
Thanks for reply. Here is the c code of substring and I forgot to null terminate the string. Thank cactus and bbonev! Wish someone else can learn from this thread.
static inline char * sub_str(char *dest, char *src, int s_idx, int edix)
{
    int length = edix - s_idx + 1;
    int i;

    for(i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
        *(dest + i) = *(src + s_idx + i);
    }
    *(dest + length) = '\0';

    return dest;
}

A: I suppose its not working because the assembly code does not 0 terminate the result buffer.
I would always prefer the substring semantics with starting position and count, instead of two positions. People think little easier in such terms.
There is no need to return any value from this function.
static inline void asm_sub_str(char *dest, char *src, int s_idx, int count)
{
    __asm__ __volatile__("cld\n"
                         "rep\n"
                         "movsb\n"
                         "xor %%al,%%al\n"
                         "stosb\n"
                         :
                         :"S"(src + s_idx), "D"(dest), "c"(count)
                         );
}

EDIT: Note that this implementation is quite suboptimal although written in assembly. For a particular architecture memory alignment and word size are important for speed and probably the best way to do the copy is by aligned machine size words. First copy up to word size-1 bytes one by one, then copy the big part of the string in words and finally finish the last up to word size-1 bytes.
I take the question as an excersize in inline assembly and passing parameters, not as the best way to copy strings. With modern C compilers its expected that with -O2 faster code will be generated.

It's been hit or miss so far, but not terrible or anything, well outside of the idiotic Rayna plot. But, the science fiction behind the premise of the show continues to bug me. A lot of skills are tactile, you can't just imprint someone with them. if you imprint someone with the ability to be a great singer they also need their vocal chords changed, someone isn't going to be able to do martial arts just because you imprint their brain with the ability to do it, massive changes would have to be made to their muscle structure/memory, etc.. The show appears to want to sidestep the inherent tactile nature of skills and instead opt for an, it's all in the brain approach and I find that rather shoddy writing/planning.
Regarding this. Remember folks, the concept of this show came from a very short lunch between Dushku and Whedon as she had an exclusive with Fox but no vehicle. He went to the bathroom, came back to the table, and started scribbling the idea of the show on a napkin.
Not sure a lot of "science" is behind this one. This will probably be more though provoking than anything when it gets into things. But I doubt the intention is to dwell on the science of what is going on.

Yeah, this is from the guy who quite openly and pointedly didn't care at all how the spaceship in Firefly got around. Simply didn't care at all. Joss is not a "hard" SF writer...

It is something that should be addressed, because unlike Firelfy with space travel, it's something that everyone can understand. It's not like it's something that will stop me from enjoying the show, but it would be a minor hindrance if this is never addressed in some way.
Well, it won't be any form of a hindrance for me if it's never addressed. If they can program people to be nearsighted and have asthma, then they can program them to sing and fight. If the story is good, then I can easily overlook it being, you know, not really real.
They did refer to touching being important for imprinting an Active on his or her handler.
I think it was assumed that Echo was retaining things, but this shows Sierra is too, so probably they ALL are. Unless Echo has been able to do something to Sierra to make her different.
This will probably tie into Alpha also, and possibly "the attic" (I assume the attic is where they lock away their actives that no longer work proeprly)

I thought it was quite clear that tactile experience, body control, and anything of the sort is included in what they can program the dolls with. That's why they put the short-sightedness and the asthma in in the first episode.
They shouldn't be able to make her a great singer just like that, of course. But hey, it could be that she just could have, by chance, had the vocal cords for it - like Eliza Dushku, just happened to have the vocal cords for it. Physical form is another question, but they could just keep their dolls in good shape.
It's still a somewhat silly concept, yeah. But then, all of Joss' shows have stupid concepts. I've enjoyed them all till now, and I'm not minding Dollhouse at all either.
The individual plots have been clicheed as hell, but have all been executed quite well - the show has, at worst, been uninspired, but it certainly hasn't been BAD. While the general concept of the show seems daft, I do think Whedon could take the show somewhere. The acting has been quite decent, with Eliza Dushku showing a way wider range as an actress than I thought she had, and Tahmoh Penikett, boring as he might be on BSG, actually managing to make his character seem sufficiently dickish. Definitely hope the show will make it to the "takeoff" Joss promised before being axed.

This is something else that has been bugging me and I do think is a major flaw in the show. When in base, or Echo, form, none of the dolls have a personality, therefore they have no will of their own. They have no desire, feelings, hang-ups, etc.. For that reason it would be impossible to get them to do anything, they wouldn't run and keep in shape because they have no motivation to do it, nor do they have any motivation to refuse. Their complete lack of personality and any sort of personal compass means they would just vegetate all the time.
Except it's clear they do have a personality between activations... it's just a very basic one. Childlike. Echo worries about Sierra hurting during the wiping process, and seems concerned when Alpha's victims won't wake up. She also enjoys massages and occasionally has expressed a desire to swim in the pool. So her desires are those of a three-year-old, really. An easily suggestible three-year-old.
Trust me, it's not hard to get a young child to exercise. If they find it fun, they'll do it all the time.
I don't think that's been made clear at all. Especially when tech moron goes on his explanations about the tech and what it does, and not to rag on the show ton but that's another problem so far, the tech seems both incredibly flawed and an absolute failure in how it operates. Back to the topic though, in order for them to work out, care about others, they would need an active personality, one that can grow and learn, not one that is stagnant and lifeless. Without personality growth there is no need for them to work out, be active, learn, because they literally have no personality to grow. This is ideally a great area for discussion within the show, but I don't know if the show will ever go there, instead it seems as if it will give us the shoddy "blank" personalities with no explanation ever given about how they operate or any in-show discussion on the purpose and intent of these personalities.
More to the point, they have no idea what fun is, because knowing that something is fun would mean an inherent ability to learn and discover the idea of fun, and then to seek out new ways of having fun. The dolls lack the personality when in basic state to know what fun is or to want to seek out other fun activities, because that means a learning cycle and that means yet another flaw in the tech system. As I said above if they explored why this is a flaw and went into the philosophical and technical conundrums this represents then that would be great, but I don't see them ever doing that.

W ashington County Board of Elections participates in a program endorsed by the Secretary of State entitiled 'Youth at the Booth'. Youth at the Booth gives students a real life civics lesson in the voting process at the same time it provides them with a meaningful community service activity. We encourage students to become involved.
High School seniors who are age 17 or older will have the opportunity to participate as official poll workers, even if they are not 18 at the time of the election. They will be given a stipend for training and near minimum wage for serving as a poll worker election day. You can read more key points of the program here.
Letters are sent to the school principal.
They name a teacher/coordinator for the program.
Students must have their parents fill out a permission form. A student may check the Board of Elections website to confirm his/her registration.
They should print their registration sheet and return it to their teacher.
Each student MUST commit to come to a 2 ½ hour training and work the entire day on Election Day.
This requires informing teachers, coaches, and employers and entering it on their calendar. Each student MUST provide their own transportation to the polls on Election Day.
What if I can't stay the entire Election Day?
Why do I have to select a political party?


For me collage is the medium of the subconscious. Seeming random images magnetize into a story telling format. The themes are the product of spontaneous creativity Paper shrines are collages of images that inspire the viewer to develope a story about their own life's journey. By viewing the collection then choosing five shrines that attract your attention for what ever the resason, like or dislike. Place them in order from favorite to least. What you may find is an outline of where you are at in your life. This is similar to the process in the book Signs of Life by Angeles Arrien. She suggests that the placement of the five universal shapes ( The Preferential Shape Test) can show you where you think you are, your strenghts, where you are, your motivation, and unfinished business. I have experimented with the Paper Shrines through the use of this process of self discovery and have found it surprisingly accurate.

How to Reclaim Your Worth, as Taught by Psychotherapist & Author Christine Gutierrez
By Raquel Reichard
Photo By: Fernando Samalot. Courtesy of Gutierrez
The United States is experiencing a mental health crisis. For decades, depression has been on the rise and suicide rates were at a record high in 2019. Now, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects (hundreds of thousands of deaths, skyrocketing unemployment, etc.), anxiety and despair are widespread. People are starving for connection, but with necessary stay-at-home directives and mandatory mask orders, many of us are experiencing a vastly changing world alone. Author and licensed psychotherapist Christine Gutierrez is hoping to help people through the long, and often onerous, journey of healing, self-love and reclaiming one's worth.
Her debut book I Am Diosa, published on Tuesday Aug. 25 by Penguin Random House, merges ancestral wisdom with psychology to provide readers with tools to become a healthy version of themselves. Through prayers, mantras, meditations and guided journaling prompts, the Brooklyn, New York-raised Puerto Rican life coach guides readers through what she calls soul work. She warns, however, that this book, just as the journey toward healing, isn't quick and isn't a substitute for one-on-one professional help.
"When we claim our worth, we remember how powerful we are," Gutierrez tells Remezcla.
"We remember that we are divine. We remember that we are deserving of good and healthy things. We live in alignment with what our highest self has for us. We speak our truth. We have healthier relationships. We go after our dreams."
Overall, Gutierrez hopes I Am Diosa helps people—particularly Latinas and women of color who aren't often represented in spirituality and self-help genres—feel seen, heard, validated and supported.
"They are worthy of their healing, they are worthy of being loved… and they can connect to that deep in-their-bones feeling of self-love," she says. To assist those interested in reclaiming their worth, Gutierrez shares some key steps and exercises that can help support them on their path:
Recognize All the Ways You Don't Feel Worthy
"Before we can get to the goal, we have to look at the shadows. We have to look at the places that are making us feel stuck, or blocked or hurting. Those emotional wounds that need to be loved. If we want worthiness, we have to look at the thoughts, actions, behaviors and people in our life that are making us feel unworthy."
Identify The Unhealthy Decisions You Make When You Don't Feel Worthy
"Do you have people in your life who speak down to you, who don't honor you as the diosa that you are? There are steps to be taken to set boundaries or to remove yourself from those relationships in a way that's healthy for you. But instead, people often make decisions that make them feel less worthy. Maybe you're acting out by numbing yourself or sleeping with people who don't serve you. That's coming from that place of unworthiness. So looking at all the ways that we are seeing or that we are accepting or that we are feeling unworthy is necessary to get closer to your worthiness."
Try the Proactive Formula
"The proactive formula is based on Kabbalah, which is Jewish mysticism. The first part of the formula is to pause and recognize your reactive behavior. The second one is to realize that your reaction to the problem is the actual focus, focusing on how you can heal your reaction. Next is recognizing that this situation is coming from this place of a lesson for you to choose something that is better for you. Lastly, it's asking the divine—or a higher power, or your higher self, or whatever you want to call it, your soul — to give you a solution that's proactive rather than reactive."
Use Pattern Interrupters
"Something that can help you reduce your reactivity from the moment a reaction comes into your life is a pattern interrupter: inserting a prayer, taking a walk [or] calling a good friend of yours that you can trust. It's about doing something that will reduce the probability that you are going to react in a negative way. Let's say someone's trigger is they go back to this toxic guy who keeps on texting them who they know is not for them and keeps bringing down their worth, but they keep responding. Instead, you recognize the pattern, you observe, you go through that proactive formula, and then you do one proactive step, one pattern interrupter, that might make you pause before you text that person. So little by little, you start building those muscles so that you can start making choices that are more aligned to your higher self, your divine diosa self, versus that reactive unhealthy part of you."
Get Professional Support
"We are pivoting into a new way of relating with people that's more digital, and I think that we need more than ever a support system that allows us to have coping skills. This is a time for people wondering about therapy to try it out. We need to destigmatize mental health, depression and suicidal ideation, and get consistent support… When change happens, we need something to ground us. I pray that this book will be a tool during these times so that we can continue to have the support and exercises to help us manage our emotions in a healthier way."
Turn to Ancestral Wisdom and Medicine
"It's in the merging of the spiritual and the psychological worlds that we see so much more success. We know now that so much of what was deemed woo-woo spiritual practices that were passed down from our ancestors are actually proven now to be effective in science: working with the earth, praying [and] meditating. The white man in traditional psychotherapy, which is where a lot of our therapeutic principles come from, dismissed all of these things, but now we see that science is backing these practices. We know that there is power in meditation, that there is power in breathing exercises [and] that there is power in connecting with the earth."
"I Am Diosa" is available for purchase where books are sold.

Biography – BUIES, ARTHUR – Volume XIII (1901-1910) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
BUIES, ARTHUR (baptized Joseph-Marie-Arthur Buie), journalist, man of letters, and office holder; b. 24 Jan. 1840 in Côte-des-Neiges (Montreal), son of William Buie, a banker of Scottish descent, and Marie-Antoinette-Léocadie d'Estimauville; d. 26 Jan. 1901 at Quebec.
William Buie was living in New York at the time his son Arthur was born, but in 1841 he and his wife moved to Berbice (Guyana), where from 1842 to 1855 he held the office of postmaster. They left their son and their daughter Victoire, born in New York in 1837, in the care of two maternal great-aunts who resided at Quebec. Arthur Buies attended the Collège de Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière from 1849 to 1854, the Séminaire de Nicolet in 1854–55, and the Petit Séminaire de Québec in 1855–56. When he was 16, he went to Berbice at the request of his father, who within a few months sent him to Dublin, agreeing to pay for his education there provided he pursued it in English. Young Arthur rebelled and went off to study on his own in Paris. From 1857 to 1859 he was a student at the Lycée Saint-Louis, intending first to complete his baccalauréat in science and later to study law at the Université Laval. He had four failures on his baccalauréat examinations.
Arthur's break with paternal authority may have stimulated his taste for revolt against any kind of authority. From a financial standpoint it had serious consequences, for he had to live in straitened circumstances, which inevitably affected his studies. In addition, according to Abbé Thomas-Étienne Hamel, it was in Paris that Buies "got ideas," and he was "quite capable of choosing the most perverse ones." He abandoned all religious observance at that time and did not return to it until 1879.
In 1860, hounded by his creditors, Buies gave Latin and English lessons in Palaiseau, on the outskirts of Paris, and then went to Sicily, where he joined Garibaldi's army. According to French journalist Ulric de Fonvielle, it was a comic-opera campaign, and Buies's main activity was enjoying the food. In September he returned to Paris, where he eked out a living until in late 1861 or early 1862 he decided to come home to Canada, after an absence of six years.
Buies was no sooner back than he joined the Institut Canadien. He gave lectures, took part in debates, and served as vice-president in 1865 and corresponding secretary in 1868. He wrote for Le Défricheur, a newspaper recently established by Jean-Baptiste-Éric Dorion* and published in L'Avenir, and for Montreal's Le Pays, of which Édouard-Raymond Fabre* had been co-founder. He threw himself into polemics, at which he came to excel.
In 1864 he had published in Montreal two Lettres sur le Canada . . . , which were an attack on the French Canadian clergy. In his view, "The clergy are everywhere, they preside over everything, and no one can think or wish anything except what they allow . . . they seek not the triumph of religion, but the triumph of their own dominance." These letters (he would publish a third, in 1867) were meant also to denounce the backwardness of French North America in comparison with the English-speaking community of the continent and appeal to youth to shake off the apathy prevalent in French Canada. The author's anticlericalism still left room, however, for a Christianity with more affinity to Protestantism than to liberal Catholicism: "I believe in God and in the sublime truths of Christianity, but I will not have you usurping my conscience, . . . I want to seek the truth that God himself has declared difficult to find." Buies fully intended to carry on the radical tradition of the Institut Canadien and of "the brilliant pleiad of 1854 . . . the red pleiad," as he would call it in his Réminiscences; Les jeunes barbares . . . (Québec, [1892]), the tradition of Joseph Papin*, Jean-Baptiste-Éric Dorion, Gonzalve Doutre*, Louis-Antoine Dessaulles*, and others.
In 1864 Buies also published two articles in Le Pays entitled "Le progrès," which sang the praises of science. He took up his pen again many times the following year, writing, among other things, about the United States, which he defended against conservative attacks, and about the French language. In a series entitled "Barbarismes canadiens," he pointed out numerous incorrect expressions current in the spoken language and the newspapers. "The unique character of each language must be preserved," he urged, "and violence must not be done to it by introducing foreign expressions when it has words of its own that convey better the idea to be expressed."
In "L'instruction," written in 1866, Buies called for a twofold reform of the French Canadian educational system. He considered it essential for science to be taught at a much more advanced level in the schools. He also believed a non-denominational school system on the American model had to be established. He was firmly convinced that French Canadians would never rise above their inferior position until they had at least as much schooling as their English-speaking neighbours.
During this time, like some of his liberal friends, Buies fought against the proposed confederation of British North America, which finally came into being in 1867. That year he left Canada again, intending to settle permanently in Paris and make a career for himself there as a journalist. Having departed from Montreal on 29 May, he arrived in Brest by way of New York on 12 June. He published an article against confederation in a French magazine, became friends with geographer Pierre-François-Eugène Cortambert, and met George Sand. But, like Balzac's Rubempré, Buies encountered fierce competition and once again experienced serious financial difficulties. His initial enthusiasm gave way to discouragement and by January 1868 he had returned to Montreal.
Buies was more active than ever in the Institut Canadien, where he continued to be preoccupied by educational issues. He also called for the abolition of the death penalty. Eager to continue the struggle against clericalism, he founded La Lanterne canadienne, patterned directly on La Lanterne, the Parisian newspaper of Henri Rochefort. From 17 Sept. 1868 to 18 March 1869, he wrote every week, on his own, some 15 vitriolic pages into which all his rage and his wit were poured. He had absolute freedom of speech since he was no longer speaking in the name of a party but in his own. He denounced not only his enemies, but also his friends, whom he considered too servile. "The only rogues are the decent people," he remarked. The campaign Buies had embarked on was not aimed solely at clericalism and at the Montreal papers Le Nouveau Monde and La Minerve. In the third issue he proclaimed, "I can rest neither content nor easy in my mind as long as I see wicked men, fools, and cowards triumphing all around me." This vast program enabled him to fire broadsides at the Conservative press, which, as a matter of fact, was no more indulgent with him. He sought to make people laugh with him rather than at him, but this approach did not prevent him from returning to the subject of education, which was particularly close to his heart. Denouncing the existing system, he asserted that "the young people come out of school crammed with pretensions but ignorant of science."
Various pressures were brought to bear on the distributors of La Lanterne and soon the readership began to drop. That Buies held out for 27 weeks was indeed an accomplishment, for he was always alone despite an urgent invitation to young people to join him. He would retain a special affection for La Lanterne, and the paper assuredly has an important place in the annals of Quebec journalism. In fact, it remained a symbol of intellectual and moral courage at a time when many people had capitulated. In this sense, it was to inspire many talented journalists, for example Jules Fournier*, Olivar Asselin*, and Jean-Charles Harvey*.
Profoundly discouraged by the lack of support from his compatriots, Buies planned to go into exile again, first to Paris and then to New York. He went to Paris, but though by nature easily discouraged, he was also quick to take hope, and the following year, in Montreal, he founded L'Indépendant. Bilingual at the outset and later unilingual, the paper advocated Canadian independence and a republican form of government. "We all," he wrote, "understand that we can have influence in North America only by personifying the French idea." The experiment was of short duration, no more than a few months, and he moved permanently to Quebec, where he became a correspondent for Le Pays.
In later life Buies would reminisce nostalgically about these years of struggle. "We saw the last days of the old Montreal," he said, "and we were the last of the old-style students. We were the final link between a dying society and a new one coming into being, of utterly different tastes, spirit, and kind." In fact, they were years of intellectual and professional training. Giving lectures and writing articles enabled him not only to develop his talents as an orator and journalist, but also to clarify his vision of French Canadian society, which he thought would flourish only with universal schooling and strong scientific and technical education. In his opinion, the integrity of French Canadian culture depended on a thorough knowledge of French, which was threatened in Canada by the élites – lawyers, politicians, businessmen, journalists, writers – who were all doing their utmost to corrupt the language. Finally, true to the ideology of the time, like all Quebec intellectuals he believed that colonization would not only end emigration to the United States but also complete occupation of the land by French Canadians, thereby minimizing the effects of British immigration to Canada and making possible the exploitation of its vast natural wealth.
It was in 1871 that Buies began his career as a columnist, first with Le Pays, then with Le National (Montréal), and on occasion with La Minerve and L'Opinion publique (Montréal). Feature columns played an important role in the newspapers of that time. They were a mixture of current comment, news items, and personal titbits, all written in a bantering and humorous style. The columnist's task was to entertain, to make readers smile, or even laugh. Buies's spontaneous, ironic, and sometimes sarcastic wit was admirably suited to this kind of writing. He saw such a feature as "a weekly offering, suitably seasoned, more or less humorous, filling perhaps two columns on the page, sufficiently well done to help the reader relax and enable him to take in the formidable arguments of the other columns drawn up in battle array with all their cannon thundering." But the feature had a more serious side, which could provide substantial food for thought about society, and for this kind of article Buies had a quite different definition: "What indeed is a feature but a day-by-day account of events seen at close range, intimate occurrences in which one is involved or which take place before one's eyes, a fleeting and piquant glimpse of those little facets of the history of one's time that historical criticism, to be serious, can now no longer do without?"
Buies published, at Quebec, three collections of his columns covering the period 1871–78: Chroniques, humeurs et caprices (1873), Chroniques, voyages, etc., etc. (1875), and Petites chroniques pour 1877 (1878). Ranging from election campaigns to seaside resorts, from philosophical meditations to accounts of travels, the contents of the three volumes are too diverse to summarize. The Chroniques lend themselves to random browsing in the mood of the moment. Perhaps more than conventional literary works, they remain irreplaceable as a documentary on the rapidly changing province of Quebec. Chroniques, voyages includes "Deux mille deux cents lieues en chemin de fer," an account of a trip that Buies made to San Francisco in June and July of 1874.
It was during this period that Buies established himself as the leading columnist in the province. He regretted, however, that the genre gave him a reputation as a writer lacking in serious intent, superficial and unable to produce thoughtful works. Much later he would note in annoyance: "I know very well that you [the reader], at least, will not commit the excruciating banality of calling me 'one of our wittiest columnists.' For more than 20 years I have been harassed with this platitude. Upon my word, I have had to be a very witty columnist indeed (but not 'one of our wittiest') in order not to have as yet been intoxicated by that decoction of commercial aloe and adulterated myrrh at the hand of neophyte journalists."
This was also the period when the Liberals came to power in Ottawa, and, as a faithful defender of the party for many years, Buies expected to be given a sinecure and to join his journalistic and literary colleagues who had already moved to the federal capital. But his attitude was not to the liking of the party élite and he had to persist in a profession that, by all reports, is one of the most thankless, both financially and professionally. As he later observed, "The French Canadian journalist is truly a wage-slave, a beast of burden, a convict at hard labour, a rock breaker, a cleaner of underwater cables."
Certainly in September 1875, when Buies delivered a lecture published at Quebec under the title Conférences: la presse canadienne française et les améliorations de Québec . . . , he was still bent on reforming a vehicle he considered fundamental to the progress of French Canadian society. Indeed, as an heir to Étienne Parent*, he was convinced that men of letters had a mission to tackle, and that they would accomplish it through the medium of the press. Hence he attacked all those who, in his view, betrayed their mission and made the French Canadian press the most mediocre to be found in any western country. This mediocrity stemmed from ignorance of the language, which precluded debate about ideas, quickly reducing it to insults and slander. "And here is perhaps the greatest misfortune of our press," he exclaimed, "that one is not allowed to express a free opinion in it without being immediately accused of heresy by a band of hacks as ignorant as narrow-minded and pretentious."
The abolition of the Department of Public Instruction the following year by the Conservative government of Charles-Eugène Boucher* de Boucherville, with the consent of the Liberal mlas, infuriated Buies, and in May he founded Le Réveil. His fighting spirit of the 1860s revived and he rebelled against the legislation, which put education under the exclusive control of the Catholic Church. He made a violent attack on the clergy as a result of which the paper was condemned by Archbishop Elzéar-Alexandre Taschereau*. But Buies also denounced the opportunism of the Liberal party, "the party that represents nothing, that means nothing, that has not one principle expressed in any program, and whose motto, in power or in opposition, is invariably: Concessions, evasiveness, equivocation, indirection, temporizing, hypocrisy." Forced to leave Quebec, the newspaper moved to Montreal in September and ceased publication in December. Le Réveil was Buies's last attempt at independent journalism and some may think that his radicalism ended with it. It would be more accurate to say that, when he had to assume a lower profile in public life, he none the less remained true to his ideal of non-denominational education.
Buies's activities during the period immediately after his return to Le National as a columnist in 1877 are not altogether clear. His correspondence with his friend Alfred Garneau indicates that in 1879, following a severe physical and mental breakdown, he again became a practising Catholic. "At last," he explained, "I am out of the mire. I have not had such a feeling of relief [as I have had] from the day I received communion again, for the first time in 23 years."
In June 1879, on the recommendation of curé François-Xavier-Antoine Labelle*, Buies was invited by the commissioner of crown lands, Félix-Gabriel Marchand*, to join his department. So began his career as a "colonizer." In truth, his first article, entitled "Colonisation" and published in Le Défricheur on 19 Nov. 1863, had declared that "agriculture . . . is the essential foundation of our prosperity." But his interest in colonization was inseparable from his enthusiasm for geography, which he described in 1875 as "the most indispensable science for anyone involved in writing for the newspapers"; from 1878 he was secretary of the Geographical Society of Quebec.
His appointment to the Crown Lands Department gave Buies an opportunity to write his first "geographical" work, Le Saguenay et la vallée du lac St-Jean; étude historique, géographique, industrielle et agricole (Québec, 1880). This kind of work corresponded perfectly to his ideal of "national literature." As he often repeated, French Canadian writers must stop imitating French authors, and must choose subjects that are "Canadian" and, above all, useful. A few years later he would explain to François-Xavier Garneau*'s grandson Hector that "a literature that is not useful, that is not instructive, is a literature gone astray." Thus he did not feel he was betraying his vocation as a writer by turning out monographs for his department or, later, for the Department of Agriculture and Colonization.
In 1881, after a visit to Boston where he met Francis Parkman*, Buies made plans to leave for New Orleans, but he delayed his trip because of the postponement of his marriage, which was eventually called off. That year he travelled through Quebec's northern townships and the Ottawa valley, and published a series of articles in Le Nord (Saint-Jérôme). These activities did not prevent him from contributing to La Nouvelle-France, a bimonthly literary and scientific magazine founded in May at Quebec by his friend Jacques Auger. In his article, addressing himself to young people, he urged: "Study, study; knowledge is power. Be ready for all the discoveries, for all the elucidations of modern science. It is because we were caught unprepared by the prodigious development of science that we have remained on the sidelines, and outsiders have taken our place."
The following year was marked by his contribution to Les Nouvelles Soirées canadiennes, a literary review founded at Quebec by Louis-Hyppolite Taché, Edmond Lortie, and Elzébert Roy. Buies also spent three weeks in December at Notre-Dame Hospital in Montreal, apparently because of alcoholism. Shortly afterwards, he was dismissed from his position by the Conservative premier, Joseph-Alfred Mousseau*. Commenting on the incident, Buies himself remarked, "I also tried to lead the government aside into undertakings that were at the very least uncertain, but after being knee-deep at the trough for two years, doing nothing, I was dismissed, along with some 30 other dolts whose services, after a long trial period, were considered unnecessary." He was then forced to resume writing his columns, and his byline appeared on a regular basis in La Patrie (Montréal).
In the summer of 1883 Buies left for western Canada. He wrote an account of this journey in "Lettres du Nord-Ouest," which appeared in La Patrie from August to November and this account was republished in 1890, at Quebec, under the title Récits de voyage. . . . In 1884 he reissued the 1873 collection of Montreal columns, under the new title Chroniques canadiennes, humeurs et caprices, and a new edition of his 1868–69 weekly, La Lanterne canadienne, under the title La Lanterne. He also proposed to reissue his two further collections of columns, but nothing came of his plans. In 1885 the Riel affair [see Louis Riel*] prompted him to publish the newspaper Le Signal (Montréal), which was intended to be "progressive." Only one issue came out and in it he asserted, "Out of the Riel question will arise 'unrest' about many other questions that only recently still seemed impossible to discuss, and that will soon emerge as the natural and, in a way, inevitable corollary of it." In 1886 La Lanterne was condemned by Archbishop Taschereau, who intervened personally with the Institut Canadien at Quebec to have a lecture by Buies cancelled.
A confirmed bachelor, Buies fell in love, and on 8 Aug. 1887 he was married at Quebec, in Notre-Dame basilica, to Marie-Mila Catellier, a daughter of Ludger-Aimé Catellier, the deputy registrar general of Canada. They would have five children. In May 1888 Premier Honoré Mercier* appointed curé Labelle assistant commissioner in the Quebec Department of Agriculture and Colonization. The following month Buies, who now had family responsibilities, became a colonization agent, a position he held until he was dismissed from his duties by the Conservatives in July 1892.
Buies had been a regular contributor to L'Électeur (Québec) since 1887, and in 1889 he finally published, at Quebec, L'Outaouais supérieur, a work begun at the start of the decade. Then four volumes came out in rapid succession at Quebec: Les comtés de Rimouski, Matane et Témiscouata . . . , a collection of three reports, and La région du lac Saint–Jean, grenier de la province de Québec . . . in 1890; Au portique des Laurentides; Une paroisse moderne; Le curé Labelle in 1891; and finally Réminiscences; Les jeunes barbares in 1892. This feverish activity went on despite the fatal illness of his first child and the death of Labelle.
In a remarkable article entitled "Le coup d'état Angers et la chute de Mercier," published in La Patrie on 6 Aug. 1892, Buies attempted to explain the fall of the Mercier government. The former premier's friends would never forgive him for his assertion that Mercier "had the best prospects that ever fell to the lot of a Canadian statesman: he had an entire people behind him and a glorious role to play: his vanity, his selfishness, his total lack of any moral sense spoiled it all."
During the 1890s three children were born to Buies and his wife, two of whom died in infancy. His own health, which was in a delicate state, continued to deteriorate. Financial difficulties mounted, and he had to apply for assistance to the provincial secretary's office, which bought a number of his books from him. After 1896 he also sought the support of his Liberal friends who were then in power in Ottawa.
His disappointments, however, did not get the better of his verve, and to those cherishing any illusion that they might see him disappear into the background in public life, he was scathing. His anticlericalism came out strongly in "Interdictions et censures," an article published in 1893 in Canada-Revue (Montréal). "Let us bear in mind," he urged, "that for more than 40 years the French Canadian people have suffered from an incredible outburst of ecclesiastical pretensions. Never has a lauding of such intolerance been witnessed." In 1895 he briefly resumed his career as a columnist for La Revue rationale (Montréal) and published his last works on colonization, including a new edition of Le Saguenay et la vallée du lac St-Jean, under the title of Le Saguenay et le bassin du lac Saint-Jean; ouvrage historique et descriptif (Québec, 1896); Le chemin de fer du lac Saint-Jean (Québec, 1895); La vallée de la Matapédia . . . (Québec, 1895; 1896), and two commissioned works, one for the Department of Agriculture in Ottawa, Les poissons et les animaux à fourrure du Canada (1900), and the other for the Quebec Department of Agriculture, La province de Québec (1900). He had not lost his literary interests, however, and in Reminiscences; Les jeunes barbares he had condemned a number of young writers who, in his opinion, were taking it upon themselves to write without adequate knowledge of the French language, and he had made yet another attack on the educational system and the anti-intellectual climate in the province: "We are the most backward people in the world. . . . Any man in our little province who has succeeded in achieving genuine worth and a serious fund of knowledge has done so only by his own painful efforts, without any assistance, indeed, in spite of everything, and by overcoming all the obstacles heaped in his path."
After an illness of several years, Arthur Buies died on 26 Jan. 1901. His remains were buried on 29 January in the cemetery of Notre-Dame de Belmont in Sainte-Foy, near Quebec. He was remembered as a kind and intelligent man who had spent his life trying to help his compatriots. From a literary point of view, he is considered among the best stylists of his time. He undoubtedly had one of the most inquiring and progressive minds in Quebec. He was convinced that the French-speaking community in North America ought not to live turned in upon itself but should be open to the great political, cultural, and economic currents of the day. His courageous attitude, his talent for polemics, and his critical mind were an inspiration to a great many intellectuals. Through his Chroniques and La Lanterne, he remains one of the outstanding figures of the Canadian literary and intellectual scene in the last quarter of the 19th century.

Scarlett Johansson Gets Violent in a New Clip from Lucy
By Silas Lesnick
Universal Pictures has debuted, via AskMen.com, a clip from Luc Besson's Lucy . Check it out in the player below!
From La Femme Nikita and The Professional to The Fifth Element, writer/director Luc Besson has created some of the toughest, most memorable female action heroes in cinematic history. Now, Besson directs Scarlett Johansson in Lucy, an action-thriller that tracks a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.

B. Smyth Talks Dance Battles With 2 Chainz & Reveals The One Song He'd Never Cover
Brittany Lewis
R&B singer B. Smyth has been steaming up the music charts with his smash hit "Leggo" featuring 2 Chainz.
The Florida native received a little under a million views for his collaborative video with the Based On A T.R.U. Story rapper, and it's only been a few weeks.
NEW MUSIC: B Smyth & 2 Chainz "Leggo"
GlobalGrind caught up with the adorable singer to talk about his new record deal, dance battles with 2 Chainz, and reviving the dying genre of R&B.
Check out our exclusive interview below!
GlobalGrind: Everybody is talking about "Leggo." How did you link up with 2 Chainz, and how did all of it come about?
B. Smyth: 2 Chainz just released his album and he was touring. I actually didn't get to meet him until the video shoot. I knew when he came that he was real professional. We chilled for a little bit. Got a chance to chop it up, and he's a pretty cool dude.
2 Chainz has some dance moves too.
Yeah, people don't know!
So who had the better moves on set? Did you serve him up?
I don't think I could get 2 Chainz. He did his thing.
You originally started on YouTube covering people's songs. I watched your Miguel cover, Frank Ocean cover…Are there any songs or artists that you won't attempt to cover? Is there anybody you're hesitant to tackle?
There are songs. One song would be Adele's "Rolling In The Deep." Not that I wouldn't try the song, but if I did try it, I would definitely do it my way because her way is definitely pretty hard. Yeah, Adele or Maxwell "One Night Lady." I did that, but no one really does it like Maxwell.
So you grew up in Florida, and you were kind of a jock right?
Grew up in the city of Ft. Lauderdale. A lot of people hear Ft. Lauderdale, and think it's a place to retire and go sit on the beach. There's certain areas that aren't like that at all. I grew up on the end of Ft. Lauderdale. A real place, what you see is what you get. I grew up playing sports in little leagues. Eventually, I did play sports maybe a year or two in high school. I could always sing, but I would never sing in front of people because it wasn't the cool thing to do where I'm from. I got into high school, and high school is where kids tend to find themselves, really realize what they want to do with their life. Singing was always a passion of mine, but it was always an undercover passion. I think my 10th grade year, I was like you know what, I'll try this. If it works, it works and if it doesn't, it doesn't. Tried it! Luckily it worked. Girls started…
Flocking!
I did a couple talent shows. I started to win those talent shows and from there, I went to my mom and told her this is what I wanted to do. Now I'm here.
When was the very first time that you realized that you could sing?
Probably in elementary school, just walking to school. My mom when she would pick me up from school, she would always sing the whole way home in the car. I was like "I can do that! I'm not going to sing in front of you, but I can do that!" So I was walking to school one day, and I was humming. It sounded alright.
Was your mom surprised when you told her you wanted to sing?
Yeah! She actually caught me one day. I was singing in the shower, and she walked passed the bathroom door. She heard me singing and when I came out, she was like, "I didn't know you could sing like that!"
Who were some artists that inspired you?
I would definitely have to say Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bobby Brown, and even some individuals that are in the game today like Chris Brown, Usher, and Miguel.
Right now on your iPod, what were probably the last 5 songs you listened to?
Probably, the whole Kendrick Lamar album.
That album's dope. What's your favorite song on good kid, m.A.A.d. city?
I like "m.A.A.d. city."
I kind of want to get your opinion on the power of Internet and YouTube, and how that weighs in with not only your situation, but a lot of people's situations like Chief Keef's and Trinidad Jame$. People are literally blowing up on the internet, and then getting record deals off of it. How do you feel about that?
Right now, it can only grow because I feel like the Internet isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I love it. It gives people an avenue to really showcase themselves. It lets the world judge you. I got my start on YouTube, and it's good for kids that may not have the money to book studio time, or go to this dance class. It's pretty much a record label itself, the Internet. You can get people to know who you are, and you can put yourself out there for the world to see. I love it!
If I sent you to a deserted island, and you could only bring three albums with you, what three albums would you bring?
I would bring Michael Jackson's Thriller. I definitely would have to have a Sade album…and Don't Be Cruel by Bobby Brown.
People sleep on that. Bobby sold 8 million records.
Yeah. People don't know that.
You've been doing shows. What have been your favorite moments during performances?
I just performed at a charity event called, "Taking the Stage For Underprivileged Kids." Out of all the shows I've done, I feel like that was the best one because the energy in the room, it just felt good. I felt good that was able to make someone else's day, put a smile on someone else's face. I just felt the vibe was really dope.
What are your five essentials that you must have when you leave the house?
My headphones & iPod, my computer, a cool pair of shades, a snapback, and some nice shoes.
So you have a whole bunch of different shades that you wear?
Yeah. I'm trying to make it my signature.
Let's talk about an album. I know you've recorded 40 songs already. Can we be expecting a new project from you next year?
Yeah, definitely! Probably mid-April. We want to roll out with the first single "Leggo" featuring 2 Chainz…I'll drop more videos, another single, and hopefully deliver my album.
If you could collaborate with an artist that's hot right now, whom would you collaborate with?
I really want to work with Future.

Figures reveal extent of Iranian sex-change surgeries
State medical records indicate that from 2006 to 2010, 1,366 Iranians acquired permits to undergo sex change operations.
Khabar-on-line reported on Monday that 56 percent were seeking male-to-female surgery and 44 percent were female-to-male operations.
Iranians seeking sex-change operations have to apply to the courts for a permit, and the case is then forwarded to state medical offices to be processed.
Ayatollah Khomeini, the late leader of the Islamic Republic, legalized sex change operations in 1984. Maryam Khatoon Molkara, who claimed to be the first Iranian to undergo sex change operation in Iran, was instrumental in persuading Ayatollah Khomeini to legalize the operations. Molkara passed away in March of 2012 at the age of 62.
Iran reportedly has one of the world's highest rates of sex-change surgery.
Iran says Supreme Leader will decide on talks with U.S.

COMSTOCK PARK — West Michigan Whitecaps catcher Rob Brantly is no different than any other professional baseball player in a minor league system.
The former University of California-Riverside standout has a desire to move through the ranks and ultimately wind up playing at Comerica Park.
But the 21-year-old Brantly is biding his time at the Class A level — concentrating on the here and now rather than worrying about what the future holds.
"It squeezes its way into your mind every once in awhile like it does for any player," Brantly said of moving up in the Detroit Tigers organization. "But I do the best I can to focus on the present and go out and perform that day.
Brantly was selected by Detroit in the third round (100th overall) of last year's draft after spending two years in college, where he was a first-team All-Big West selection as a sophomore.
He made his professional debut with the Whitecaps last season and batted .251 in 52 games.
Brantly, rated as the Tigers No. 21 top prospect, returned to West Michigan for the 2011 campaign and has blossomed into a team leader while swinging a consistent bat.
He is one of the top hitters in the Midwest League, carrying an impressive .350 average with a team-high 36 hits and 20 RBIs in 26 games.
But Brantly's greatest improvement has been behind the plate — a point of emphasis for him heading into the season.
Brantly gained a wealth of knowledge during spring training. He spent time in the major-league camp as an invitee.
Brantly gained a greater understanding of the position by watching Avila, who two years ago was playing with the Whitecaps and is now Detroit's starting catcher.
"With Alex, you could see that he has a lot of leadership qualities as far as the way he talks with his pitching staff and the way they respond to him," Brantly said. "It is my biggest issue, and I watched that and tried to emulate some of that.
Brantly negates opposing teams' speed with a strong right arm. He has a .318 caught stealing percentage (14-of-44) this season.
Brantly said he takes pride in eliminating scoring threats by gunning down runners at second or third base.
Whitecaps manager Ernie Young said Brantly's attributes offensively and defensively make him an attractive commodity.
"He is making tremendous strides as a hitter and he's working every day defensively to become a total package," he said. "He's a left-handed hitting catcher, so I don't see why he wouldn't have the chance to move up. The biggest thing is being able to handle the pitching staff and call a great game.

If you're looking for a gravel holiday in the sun somewhere cheap and just a couple of hours flight from London, let me propose Mallorca. Just recently, I enjoyed the island's extensive gravel trails at the inaugural Toros de Gravel event and in just one day of riding, decided I loved the place.
Mallorca has long been known as one of the destinations for road cycling, whether you're seeking a pre-season training camp, a break from the gloom and short days of the British winter or simply a holiday they can share with the family with the option of a few sneaky rides. Up until my visit a couple of weeks ago I'd never actually been, despite it being pretty high up on a list of places I'd like to visit. The reason was simply that I'd heard the weather wasn't entirely reliable until around April – too long for me to wait before I escape for a winter break.
When I was invited over to Toros, I couldn't believe my luck. Billed as an end of season get together, the idea was for like minded people to converge at Sineu outdoor Velodrome (which just so happens to be next to an outdoor pool and cafe), where they could go on several casual off-road rides, drink plenty of beer, have campfires and relax.
The whole shebang was meant to take place over a few days but I wasn't able to get out to Mallorca in time so instead I flew in for the main event at the weekend, a 140km gravel race/ride, open to the public and fully supported with feed stations and (some) route markers. On Friday morning I left behind the most atrocious weather possible – fierce wind, torrential rain, thick grey misery – and arrived that afternoon to sun, warmth, cheap coffee and cheerful bougainvillea.
The following morning we adopted a leisurely approach to the race, leaving after everyone and enjoying a peaceful start rolling through fog-shrouded lanes. Turning off the asphalt we enjoyed fast rolling dirt roads passing farmland and finca as we made our way south towards Llucmajor.
As the sun began to warm us, we stopped to eat figs, take photos and chat. After a full season of racing and training to a fairly rigid schedule (at least when I was able to get out and ride) it felt like heaven indeed to go slow, chat to my friends and just enjoy the scenery. Luckily for me, my friends Sami Sauri, Kyle Kelley and Benedict (aka Ultraromance) were more than up for that.
The riding was a mixture of 'strade bianche' style hard-packed dirt roads, technical rocky climbs, swooping descents through pine forests and the (very) occasional tarmac section. I was riding a https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/road/grail/, courtesy of the brand themselves who'd deemed the event worthy of their support (and who can blame them) and it felt comfortable and reliable, versatile and capable of handling the rough stuff.
We bumbled along as the day heated up, the miles ticking by with that dreamy haze that real good times on the bike have. We weaved through tight paths then began some fun climbs from Campos towards the coast. One steep little beast kicked right up through some trees and involved navigating a couple of boulders about the size of footballs. Only Benedict made it up that section without stopping but I did myself proud on all the other stuff, even when I felt my teeth chattering in my skull on one white-knuckle segment.
We made a bit of a navigational error after we missed a sign on a particularly fun descent and had to double back and refind the route – thank god I had the route loaded on the Sigma bike computer I'd been loaned as Sami had disappeared and neither Benedict nor Kyle had battery on their phones. By this point, enjoyable though it was, all thoughts had turned to the beach and we couldn't wait to get there.
When we finally reached the checkpoint and saw the secluded bay, I could barely believe my eyes – the colour of the sand and sea made it look almost tropical. The water was still as a millpond with an outrageous deep turquoise hue, made all the more eye-catching by the bright, almost white sand. I've never seen a Mallorca beach before so I wasn't sure whether we were at the best beach on the entire island but it certainly felt like that.
In just one day I saw what felt like a lot of the island, but now, looking back I realise it was only a tiny part of what the Ballearic isle has to offer. When I return (and I will return!) I'm really unsure whether to take a road bike or a gravel one as the gravel riding was some of the best I've ever done and I've heard the roads get really busy – albeit with cyclists, but still. Perhaps the solution is to go there with one bike and hire the other so I can kill both birds with one stone? As I'll be taking my family, I think a Mallorca holiday could end up being a firm favourite for the foreseeable future as the place seems to have every single thing I want!
Have you been to Mallorca? Are there any other islands that can offer a similar combination of gravel and road cycling, bike hire, group rides, incredible beach and family friendly accommodation? Let me know if the comments below.
I visited Mallorca for the first time in August this year. Love it.
Rode up the coast to Puerta Pollença then turned and took the false flat to Pollença then up to Lluc. Stopped for a coffee and then down to Inca and back. Later in the holiday I rode the reverse.
I tried some gravel and climbedthe hill behind Alcudia to see the sun rise.
Sounds brilliant! We were wondering how many bikes we could fit in out bag too. Or whether to take a bike seat that would fit on a gravel bike ,not for gravel riding but for short excursions with the little one when not gravel riding so we could do a bit of everything.
Lucky you, living there. What a dream! Maybe you see you in October? I really hope I can come again.
Thank you, really nice to hear you're enjoying the content. Cheerio!

Materials,
Perovskites power up the solar industry
A promising material could deliver sunny days for renewable energy — if it can expand its reach
Laurel Hamers
12:00pm, July 26, 2017
LAYER UP Researchers are betting on a class of sunlight-absorbing materials called perovskites to improve today's solar cells. A perovskite's cagelike crystal structure (right) surrounds a chunky ion such as methylammonium. The red, purple and orange balls are ions that can be varied so the material absorbs different wavelengths of light in its 3-D form (left).

Tsutomu Miyasaka was on a mission to build a better solar cell. It was the early 2000s, and the Japanese scientist wanted to replace the delicate molecules that he was using to capture sunlight with a sturdier, more effective option.
So when a student told him about an unfamiliar material with unusual properties, Miyasaka had to try it. The material was "very strange," he says, but he was always keen on testing anything that might respond to light.
Other scientists were running electricity through the material, called a perovskite, to generate light. Miyasaka, at Toin University of Yokohama in Japan, wanted to know if the material could also do the opposite: soak up sunlight and convert it into electricity. To his surprise, the idea worked. When he and his team replaced the light-sensitive components of a solar cell with a very thin layer of the perovskite, the illuminated cell pumped out a little bit of

Q: how can I print out using 2 inputs from user and print out the numbers which is taken from user? like 10 and 20 is taken. I,ll to print out even user give me 20 and 10. I mean to print out in both way negative and positive!
Console.WriteLine("Enter a number for looping!");
int input = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
        Console.WriteLine("Enter a number for looping!");
        int input1 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

        for (int i = input; i <= input1; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(i);
        }
    }

A: From what I understand, this is what you want:
If user inputs 10 and 20, you want program to print out 10, 11, 12, ... , 20
If user inputs 20 and 10, you want program to print out 20, 19, 18, ... , 10
So the trick is to determine the "correct" for loop condition and increment for the 2 cases:

*

*input1 > input (ie, if user inputs 10 and then 20)

*input1 <= input (ie, if user inputs 20 and then 10)

To achieve that, you can do something like this:
Console.Write("Enter the starting number: ");
int input = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

Console.Write("Enter the ending number: ");
int input1 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

// new loop condition and increment
Func<int, bool> loopCondition = (i) => (input1 > input) ? i <= input1 : i >= input1;
int loopIncrement = (input1 > input) ? +1 : -1;

for (int i = input; loopCondition(i); i += loopIncrement)
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
}

where the only new idea is:
// new loop condition and increment
Func<int, bool> loopCondition = (i) => (input1 > input) ? i <= input1 : i >= input1;
int loopIncrement = (input1 > input) ? +1 : -1;

Best of Enemies: Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli
30 March 2018 Margo Lestz FR Culture / Language 9 comments
In the 1920s, artists from all over the world congregated in Paris. The atmosphere was charged with creativity and a synergy that spawned new ways of looking at everything. Right in the middle of this circle of free-thinking, avant-garde artists was Coco Chanel.
Coco and Newfangled Fashion
Today we think of Chanel fashions as classic, but at the time they were revolutionary. When most women were still laced up tight in their corsets – Coco wore trousers and soft knit tops: comfortable styles borrowed from men's closets.
Coco reveled in her role as the uncontested queen of modern fashion. She had the full support of all her artist friends, which included Cocteau, Picasso, Dali, and many more.
New Girl Comes to Town
However, toward the end of the 1920s, a new designer rolled into town and gave Coco a run for her money. Her name was Elsa Schiaparelli. She was born in Italy and had lived in England, America, and now here she was in Paris pestering Coco.
On a personal level, the two designers had a lot in common. They were both strong, independent women who had built their own careers and succeeded in a man's world. Although from very different backgrounds, they had both overcome lonely childhoods and abandonment.
Coco Chanel's classic styles: The boy look; the Chanel suit; and the little black dress.
Chalk and Cheese
But their styles were like chalk and cheese: they couldn't have been more different. Coco went for simple and elegant, while Elsa preferred outrageous, and eccentric. Coco's colors were muted, while Elsa's favorite hue was "shocking pink," a color Coco described as "a pink that sets the teeth on edge."
By the 1930s the Parisian art scene had moved into the land of Surrealism where everything was distorted and dreamlike. Dali was painting melting clocks and by comparison Coco's styles were looking terribly tame. Elsa's outrageous outfits, on the other hand, fit right in with Surrealism. She teamed up with Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau to create designs for her clothing line.
Coco, who considered both of these artists as her friends and supporters, was crushed to think they would "betray" her by befriending her rival.
In 1931 Coco was thrilled to get a call from Sam Goldwyn, who had decided that Hollywood's stars were too vulgar. He wanted Coco to give them a bit of class by dressing them in elegant Chanel styles. What a relief to think that at least the Americans still had good taste! She relished the thought of leaving Paris and "that Italian" behind.
As it turned out, though, Coco's elegance didn't have enough oomph for the Hollywood stars and they refused to wear her dull dresses. However, the same celebs who had turned up their noses at Coco's designs loved Elsa's theatrical styles. Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo and Mae West became loyal Schiaparelli clients.
Elsa's designs: Lobster dress designed with Salvador Dali; Cocteau-designed suit with arm across the waist and golden hair flowing down one sleeve; Coat with signature Jean Cocteau faces and a vase of roses.
Adding Insult to Injury
To make matters worse for Coco, on August 13, 1934, Time Magazine featured Elsa Schiaparelli on their cover. It was the first time a designer had been given that honor.
In 1936, another blow: Wallis Simpson, one of Coco's faithful customers, appeared in a major photo shoot to announce her marriage to the newly-abdicated King of England – and, horror of horrors, she wore a Schiaparelli/Dali creation! The "Lobster Dress!"
Elsa even followed Coco into the perfume business. Coco had put her name on a fragrance which she had simply called, "Chanel No. 5." And she had designed the equally simple, rectangular bottle it came in. When Elsa announced her perfume about fourteen years later, it was called "shocking" and it came in a bottle modeled after Mae West's bust.
Coco accessorized her simple designs with classic pearls, but Elsa liked a bit more pizzazz. Clockwise from left: Shoe hat – designed like an upside down high heeled shoe; Insect necklace – metal insects set in an acrylic band; Large fly pin; Manicured gloves.
It's easy to see why the two designing women didn't get on. Coco called Elsa "that Italian" and Elsa called her "the hat maker." (Coco started her career making hats.)
One evening when they found themselves at the same costume ball. They pretended to be friends, and Coco asked Elsa to dance – then she "accidentally" backed Elsa into a candle which set her costume alight.
Coco Wins
Both ladies closed down their businesses during World War II. After the war, everything had changed, and Elsa wasn't able to make a comeback. She faded out of the spotlight. The House of Schiaparelli closed in 1954 but has been recently revived in 2013.
After settling back in after the war, Coco released a new collection in conservative black and white. Europe took no notice – but the Americans did. When France saw that the Americans loved it, they took a second look and decided they loved it too.
And Coco was back in business…

What an interesting article…never knew about elsa..beware the wrath of a woman!!! Really enjoyed this…as always!!!
Margo Lestz says:
Thanks! It must have been quite a rivalry between two strong-willed women with such different ideas. But it seems that simple has more staying power than flashy. Everyone knows the name Chanel but Schiaparelli is nearly forgotten.

Absolutely fascinating. I had no idea of the bitter rivalry between these two. Fashion design was largely the realm of men; I had no idea the two women 'made it' in the field were such enemies. I don't know what Schiaparelli did during WWII, but Chanel 'co-operated' with the German occupiers of Paris and had to lie low for a time after the War. A very difficult time for her, however she survived and her fashion house continues!
Thank you for another fascinating piece of work.
That's right, Chanel was a collaborator. During the occupation, she had an affair with a Nazi official and used the Aryan laws to take away Chanel No. 5 from the Jewish owners. After the war, Churchill used his powers to exonerate her and it took a while for her to be accepted again.
Elsa went to America to sit out most of the war. People resented her for that too. But her main downfall was that the mood of the world was very serious after the war years and she didn't do "serious" very well.
Two really fascinating women!
Oh, I didn't know it was Churchill who exonerated her from her collaboration with the Nazis. So interesting. I recently read 'Les Parisiennes: How the Women of Paris LivedLoved and Died Under Nazi Occupation' by Anne Sebba. Absolutely fascinating.
That does sound like a good book. I'm adding it to my list. Thanks!
