Carbon Dioxide - Research Article from Environmental Encyclopedia
This encyclopedia article consists of approximately 1 page of information about Carbon Dioxide.
The fourth most abundant gas in the earth's atmosphere, carbon dioxide occurs in an abundance of about 350 parts per million. The gas is released by volcanoes and during respiration, combustion, and decay. Plants convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates by the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide normally poses no health hazard to humans. An important factor in maintaining the earth's climate, molecules of carbon dioxide capture heat radiated from the earth's surface, raising the planet's temperature to a level at which life can be sustained, a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect. Some scientists believe that increasing levels of carbon dioxide resulting from human activities are now contributing to a potentially dangerous global warming.

We connect you with the best talents, celebrities and businesses in the world.
press release by Jennifer Zaman
INTERVIEW WITH ANN MARGARETT CORTEZ
Arts and Culture Program Coordinator of Japan Foundation (Sydney)
JZ. What is the underlying essence of Japanese movie making? How successful are the modern films in promoting Japanese culture and traditions?
MC: Contemporary Japanese films are a great source of finding out current youth culture in Japan, with a lot of them based on best-selling comic books or novels. We always find films that revolve around tradition as well, whether they're set in the present or set in the past (period films called jidaigeki). I wouldn't be well equipped to answer what the underlying essence of Japanese movie making is as I'm not a filmmaker myself. It also has a long tradition, with Japanese filmmakers being active since before the Second World War—they've been influenced throughout history by everything from Italian neo-realism to Hollywood blockbusters.
JZ. On what parameters were the movies for JFF 2016 selected?
MC: JFF has audiences across the board, from all ages and different backgrounds. All the films have to be at most 18 months old, that's a must condition. After that, we curate the program to offer something from every genre and to include different types from auteur films, independent films and mainstream films.
JZ: What kind of response are you expecting from the movie lovers in Australia?
MC: There's something for everybody at the Japanese Film Festival and we're sure that both fans of Japanese culture and fans of foreign films will find films that showcase different sides of Japan. We'd like to receive a whole range of responses, from delighted to shocked to enlightened.
JZ. Where does Japanese film industry sit in comparison to their Asian and Western counterparts?
MC: The Japanese film industry is definitely one of the most prolific Asian film industries in terms of producing feature films, mostly made for local consumption. However, over the past 5 years we've seen a considerable rise in the number of Japanese titles in the international film festival circuits. Although compared to Hollywood, Japan is still producing far less films.
JFF MOVIE REVIEW: Kampai! For the Love of Sake (カンパイ! 世界が恋する日本酒)
by Jennifer Zaman
A documentary dedicated to the history and culture of Japan's traditional drink Sake;a kind of wine made by fermenting rice. Several Asian regions/ tribes brew their own form of rice liqour, however, Japan has succesfully established itself as a brand on the global wine table. Over the past few years this alcoholic beverage has gained popularity among wine lovers around the world and many have undertaken extensive research to unfold the untold stories about the origins and essentials that make Sakeirresistible.
In order to quench the thirst for research and to appease curiosity, many a Japanese and non-Japanese have devoted decades working for Sake brewing factories and discovering novice methods of creating variations of this tantalising drink.
This documentary is focused on the memorable journeys Sake lovers made through out and who's work contributed in granting the significance that this drink has attained in modern times.
JFF MOVIE REVIEW: My Korean Teacher (いきなり先生になったボクが彼女に恋を
by Natasha Marchev
As Korrean origin Young Ung (Yesung) has lost his job when the company selling dodgy ging-seng he worked in shut down and got bankrupt while Young was on a business trip in Osaka (Japan) and as the same day he was dumped by his girlfriend who changed him so easily for a richer man he had no place to go nor money to maintain his life.
An accident or perhaps a coincident of pure luck took place in the park where Young was siting on the bench in tears complaining out loudly in Korean language. He was noticed by the director of the Language school who just lost one of his teaches and who happily employs Young to the college and gets him a place to stay in. This is when the real adventures starts for the young man. he falls in love with his student and he got everything back: good job and now the gorgeous girl. His new love, Sakura (Nozomi Sasaki) is a single mother and works for a travel agency. She needs to learn Korean for her job. Meeting with Young is also a sign of faith while she learns Korean language institute, Sakura meets Young-Ung and their romance begins.... but wait... as nothing good comes to your life that easily...
There are obstacles that the couple has to overcome in order to be together and they may be not strong enough to take it all. Will the fortune be on their side and they stay together?.. This is for you to find out.
What I liked about this film: the pace and the sense of humor as I generally love good romantic comedies. The music was amazing and suited every single episode of the movie. I believe this film will be very attractive to the young viewers too as they find lots of connections to their own life journey in it and will be very pleased with the well selected cast.

Q: How to remove Gap between textbox and Keyboard in windows phone I am creating a chat window with text box in the bottom and send bottom. when i click on text box keyboard is appearing, but is showing the gap between text box and keyboard. how to remove the gap  between text box and Keyboard in windows phone

A: Good news! I have managed to figure out a fix for this. The below code stops the page from being moved up at all and then adds a margin to the bottom of the text box to place it above the keyboard. The value below of 417 seems to work well for me but you can change this to whatever you like. Using this method also stops other content being pushed off screen like the conversation as it will be fully scrollable while the keyboard is active.
private void TextBox_GotFocus_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var rootFrame = Application.Current.RootVisual as PhoneApplicationFrame;
        rootFrame.RenderTransform = new CompositeTransform() { TranslateY = +0 };
        TextInput2.Margin = new Thickness(12, 0, 12, 417);
    }

The one and only Lee Valley Lions Nostalgia Site!
… then you're in the right place for some Lee Valley Lions Nostalgia!
Cue all the old favourites – the Goldstone brothers, Mike Fafard, Doug McEwen, Dave Ducharme and the Flying Finns. Remember trying to read your programme just at the point where the lights got turned out, enjoying a good singalong with your chums in the Clock End or having a laugh at the expense of Jamie Crapper, Daryl Lipsey or Terry Ward.
Recall the Supporters' Club table and the T-Stop, having a bit of a gossip with Mike Cook or Jack McGill, buying 50/50 tickets from Steve (how come we always had the smallest crowds but got bigger 50/50 winnings?!) or getting match info from announcer extraordinaire Peter Livermore! Maybe you'd grab some chips from the café, hang around for the Man of the Match awards (not that the Lions would ever skate round the ice afterwards, of course) then chill out and drown your almost inevitable sorrows up in the bar! Those were the great times to be had in E10. Let your memories live on!
What's on the site, then?
A variety of Player Profiles – their hockey backgrounds, hobbies etc.
Season-by-season match results. You can view the results for a particular season and then check out stats and comments for a large number of individual matches.
Details of the various leagues the Lee Valley Lions played in over the years, including end-of-season standings (NB to spot the Lions look towards the bottom of the tables!).
Lots and lots of photos. Team photos, player photos, on-ice action shots, you name it. Many were taken from the LVL programmes, others were taken by myself and the remainder are from credited or unknown sources. See how many faces you remember. If you have some photos of Lions players that could be added to the site please get in touch!
Some extras to remind you of the Lions and match nights at the Den. I've included various bits of team memorabilia, plus newspaper reports and pages from the Clock End Times in PDF format (on the Lions in Print page). Best of all, there is now a multimedia section where you can listen to some of the songs associated with Lee Valley (Billy Ocean's "When the Going Gets Tough…" being one of them) and even watch some video clips.
Lastly, a site-specific search engine to help you steer your way around. Just type what you're after into the box at the top of the page – couldn't be easier!
See this site immortalised in national internet magazines Practical Internet (Feb'02) and Web User (6-20 Feb'02)!


This necklace consists of brightly coloured beads of many different colours, sizes and textures including sea turtles! Every necklace is unique but expect to see a mix of shimmery, opaque and see through beads of varying sizes and shapes.
Gorgeous colours and beads. I wear it all the time so it's there for when little one is hungry. She likes to hold on to it and looks at all the colours, which means less/no pinching.
I love the mix of beads and the little turtles on this necklace. I don't always wear it while breastfeeding as my daughter tends to pull it hard, which hurts my neck, but it's good for distracting her when feeding in public as otherwise she has a tendency to push my top up to expose rather more than I like!
I bought this and was really pleased with it. Lovely beads and colours. Will keep baby occupied while feeding that's for sure.
I like this necklace, it has brightly coloured beads and little turtles; It puts a smile on my face each time I put it on. My 6 month old daughter does hold it whilst breastfeeding and also pulls it when sitting in my lap. She is too young to appreciate the little turtles but I am hoping that the necklace will last a long time. I wear it when we go out too thus having instant entertainment without having to carry numerous toys.
Life on the reef is grand!!!
Another fab buy!! Anything that stops my little one scratching me while feeding is good!!


Karen Denise Wilkerson was born in Dallas, Texas, March 17, 1971 and departed October 23, 2018 at 12:20 am. She grew and developed into an extraordinary and exceptional woman of faith. She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and cousin and became a friend to all.
Karen earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas and a master's degree in educational psychology from Baylor University, Waco, Texas. She worked for the Texas State Agency of the Aged and Disabled in Waco, Texas as well as the Upward Bound program at McLennan Community College, Waco, Texas. She has mentored hundreds of local high school students who had and have the desire to become the first in their families to attend college. She was named director of the Upward Bound program at Abilene Christian University in 2006. She was a leader in the national community of TRIO professionals, having been elected and served as president of the Texas Association for Special Student Services Programs. She mentored with the likes of a mother's love that could not be questioned and she always went an extra step to assist them in reaching their goals. Colleagues respected her as a passionate professional and a trusted guide for young people in Abilene.
Karen was an active member of Minda Street Church of Christ, Abilene, Texas where she served diligently along side her husband Gerald, who is an elder.
Karen is survived by her husband, Gerald Wilkerson , and their children, Victoria and Donovan; Johnnie Talton (mother), Joel Talton (father), Joel Christopher Talton (brother), Johnny Morris (grandfather), Yvonne Mooney (aunt), Marion Warren (aunt) and a host of beloved relatives and friends.
During these past few months we were able to see the true fight in Karen as she battled a chronic illness. We never saw her quit, we never saw her give up and we were able to see her faith on display. We believe in prayer and we hoped for a medical miracle and we watched as God extended your time with us through medications and medical care.
This world was not your home as you were just passing through and we know and trust you are now resting. God has a plan for you that no longer requires you to struggle, fight, or suffer. We thank Him for allowing us to have had the opportunity to be in your presence during your visit here with us. Visitation will be available Sunday 6-8 pm @ Elmwood memorial where we encourage visitors to come and say your words for the life of Karen. The celebration service will take place Monday, 12:00 @ Minda Street Church of Christ.
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your beloved. We have the assurances from God as recorded in Isaiah 25:8 that He will swallow up death forever and wipe tears from all faces. That is a wonderful time for us all to look forward.
Karen was an amazing person. She will never and could never be forgotten. Our prayers are with your family during this time of grief but we are rejoicing with you that Karen is no longer suffering and is in a place among the righteous, where she belongs.
May God ease your pain and comfort you. We love you dearly.
May the Holy Spirit be your great comfort as you pass through this dark night, and may Karen's light continue to shine in all those she touched. All that knew and met her felt the love her life showed.
Karen was such a bright light in this world. Her sweet and loving spirit will be missed by many.
Karen was an extraordinary woman and will be greatly missed! Sending sympathy, love, and prayers.

Did you know about one-third of all wasted food in America is fresh produce? While you strive to minimize waste by purchasing only what's needed, storing produce properly and including fruits and veggies in meals and snacks, sometimes they begin to go bad. Instead of throwing those nutritious fruits and veggies away, use these tips to transform them from wilted to wonderful.
Pack a Peck of PicklesHomemade pickled cucumbers, cauliflower and carrots add a tasty zing to your plate. To make a basic pickling brine, boil one cup white vinegar, two tablespoons kosher salt, two teaspoons sugar, several garlic cloves, up to two tablespoons of spices (such as peppercorns, dill, coriander or mustard seeds) and two cups water. Pour over vegetables in jars, cool, seal and refrigerate.
Berries Galore Summer berries spoil fast. To extend their life, wash just before using to prevent mold. To preserve their deep color and flavor, cook them down with a pinch of sugar and a squeeze of lemon, strain out the seeds and freeze in an ice cube tray. Pop out the frozen cubes and store in baggies to use later in smoothies or to add a burst of flavor to a glass of lemonade or sparkling water.
"Lettuce" Save Our Greens Lettuces and leafy greens don't last long. If it's too late to toss a salad but you don't want to toss them out, add your greens to a pasta dish, soup or, if you have enough, sauté with some garlic and olive oil.
Tasty Tomatoes There are so many ways to save tomatoes on the brink of going bad. Slice and slow-roast tomatoes with a few cloves of garlic and some olive oil. Fill up a pot and cook them down all afternoon until you have a thick, glorious red sauce. Caramelize them into jam with sugar, onions, vinegar and butter. Or simmer them on the stovetop with some stock and vegetables for an easy, healthful soup.

Laos - Lao Issara, Thao O Anourack and the Franco Laotians
Lao issara, thao o anourack and the franco-laotians
At the outset of its rule, the authority of the Lao Issara provisional government was extremely limited outside Vientiane. In the north, the towns of Louangphrabang, Phôngsali, and Louang Namtha were occupied by the Chinese. The Franco-Laotian guerrillas, with support from Touby Lyfoung's Hmong, had taken control of the main towns of Xiangkhoang Province at the beginning of September. Their hold on Houaphan was much less solid, in spite of efforts on the part of the provincial governor, Phoumi Vongvichit, to prevent the Chinese from entering the province. Here, because of its proximity to Vietnam, the revolutionary propaganda spread by the Viet Minh was strong but also pro-Viet Minh rather than pro-Lao Issara. Moreover, the main roads leading east were denied to the Franco-Laotian guerrillas by Viet Minh detachments coming from Vietnam. In the center and south, the Lao Issara government controlled the towns of Thakhek and Savannakhét. Most of the remainder of the provinces of Khammouan and Savannakhét was controlled by the Franco-Laotian guerrillas. So were the southernmost provinces of Pakxé and Saravan, which fell largely in the British zone of operation decided upon at the Potsdam Conference and where Prince Boun Oum of Champasak, sympathetic to the French, had 15,000 troops under his command.
The outlook became more favorable for the Lao Issara as the year ended. France, preoccupied with the situation in Vietnam, was unable to send reinforcements to the Franco-Laotian guerrillas. Fabre and his men were evacuated from Vientiane--eventually to Thailand--under an escort provided by the Chinese. Various events led the Franco-Laotian guerrillas to evacuate Xiangkhoang town and Louang Namtha. While Viet Minh propaganda exploited differences between the Lao and Phuan on the one hand and Touby's Hmong on the other, the Viet Minh were themselves putting together a Hmong guerrilla force under Faydang Lobliayao of the Lo clan. In Louangphrabang, Imfeld and his men had been subjected to all kinds of pressure, culminating in their evacuation across the river under Chinese escort on January 4.
In Vientiane, the Lao Issara government was confronted with a growing list of problems. The most serious was how to finance the government because the treasury was empty and there were no funds to pay civil servants. An attempt to tax opium exports was unenforceable because the government did not control opium trade routes. The government even took steps to abolish the Indochinese régie (state monopoly) that regulated the opium trade and make it a Laos monopoly. In desperation, the government appealed to the Thai government for a press on which to print money. Foreign relations and the procurement of military equipment were also problems.
Beginning in January 1946, with the loss anew of Xiangkhoang, the fortunes of the Lao Issara government began to decline. The Franco-Laotian guerrillas were receiving reinforcements and supplies by air and road from French headquarters in Saigon, which made entry into the towns possible for the first time. Lao Issara appeals to the Viet Minh for assistance went largely unheeded, and the Franco-Laotian guerrillas once again were positioned along the main roads leading from Vietnam.
After long negotiations in Chongqing, China's wartime capital, the French government obtained China's commitment to withdraw its troops from Indochina. The withddrawal allowed the Franco-Laotian guerrillas to make their entry into Savannakhét against token resistance camouflaged by the Chinese withdrawal. At Thakhek, however, Souphanouvong and his largely Vietnamese force were determined to make the French pay. In a day-long battle on March 21, approximately 700 of the defenders and 300 civilians were killed.
With the French menacing Vientiane, the first thought of the Lao Issara government was to regularize its relations with the monarchy. On March 23, Xieng Mao, having abandoned Vientiane for Louangphrabang, sent the king a letter asking him to resume his throne. But the king was in no hurry, and it was not until April 23 that the king signaled his acceptance of the constitution and reaffirmed the unity of Laos by a royal ordinance.
Meanwhile, a strong French column was making its way up the road from Vientiane to Louangphrabang. Simultaneously, Hmong guerrillas moved west to harass Chinese troops in the vicinity of the royal capital. The French column entered Louangphrabang forcing Phetsarath and the Lao Issara ministers to flee Laos. The king welcomed the French by declaring null and void all acts that he had sanctioned under pressure from the Japanese, the Chinese, and the Lao Issara since April 4, 1945. He also promised a democratic constitution.
The Lao Issara government-in-exile set up its headquarters in Bangkok. Scattered groups of armed partisans mounted raids into Laos from bases along the Mekong and in southern Laos. One group was under the command of Thao O Anourack. After the Japanese takeover, Thao O had refused the Franco-Laotian guerrillas' appeal to join them. When the Lao Issara took over Savannakhét, the provincial governor appointed him commander of liberation forces in Xépôn. Thus, when the Franco-Laotians reoccupied Xépôn in March 1946, Thao O made his way east with some 200 to 300 men to the safety of Lao Bao just across the border of Vietnam. Eventually, he was forced to abandon Laos altogether and to make his way to Hanoi where the Viet Minh put him in touch with Kaysone Phomvihan, a Vietnamese-Lao métis (person of mixed race) from Savannakhét who had been sent to direct Lao Issara radiobroadcasts over Radio Hanoi, and Nouhak Phoumsavan, a Vietnamese from Mukdahan. Neither Kaysone Phomvihan nor Nouhak Phoumsavan had a significant role in the Lao Issara, but both had the confidence of Ho Chi Minh and saw in Ho's government the salvation of an independent Laos.
The Vietnamese proposed to Thao O--and he accepted--that he form a committee for the liberation of Laos. Nouhak became president of the committee. The enlistment of other small groups from Xiangkhoang and Houaphan brought the effective strength under Thao O's command to 500; he dispatched one company each to Xam Nua, Xiangkhoang, Muang Mo, Napé, and Muang Sen. Thao O soon received secret codes from Phetsarath and Souvanna Phouma in Bangkok that allowed him to communicate with his companies.

Q: How can I match all the rows from one table to a column in another table in t-sql? I don't know if the method I have in mind (which the question relates to) is the best way to arrive at the desired result, so if anyone has a better idea I'm all ears. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. Given a space-delimited set of search terms, I want to search a particular column, with consistent results regardless of the order of the terms. So e.g. "brown dog" and "dog brown" should return similar results. I have a table-valued function that takes a string and a delimiter and returns the split string as a single-column table.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Split
(
    @char_array varchar(500), @delimiter char(1)
)
RETURNS
@parsed_array table
(
    Parsed varchar(50)
)
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @parsed varchar(50), @pos int

    SET @char_array = LTRIM(RTRIM(@char_array))+ @delimiter
    SET @pos = CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @char_array, 1)

    IF REPLACE(@char_array, @delimiter, '') <> ''
    BEGIN
        WHILE @pos > 0
        BEGIN
            SET @parsed = LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(@char_array, @pos - 1)))
            IF @parsed <> ''
            BEGIN
                INSERT INTO @parsed_array (Parsed)
                VALUES (@parsed)
            END
            SET @char_array = RIGHT(@char_array, LEN(@char_array) - @pos)
            SET @pos = CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @char_array, 1)

        END
    END
    RETURN
END
GO

The column I want to search is a varchar(2000). Right now I'm searching it like so:
SELECT ID FROM Table WHERE Description LIKE '%' + @searchTerm + '%'

But that doesn't return consistent results given the scenario I described above where multiple terms are in a different order. Is it possible to somehow join the table from the function to the column and get the desired result? Note the results should contain all rows where the Description contains all search terms in any order.

A: To answer your question just from a SQL perspective, Yes, you can join the function to the table (I've gone via a temp table though) and use a HAVING clause to make sure all search terms are included, something like this.
SELECT
    f.Parsed
INTO
    #s
FROM
    dbo.Split(@terms) f

DECLARE @c INT = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #s)

SELECT
    t.ID
FROM
    Table t
        INNER JOIN #s s on t.Description LIKE '%' + s.Parsed + '%'
GROUP BY
    t.ID
HAVING
    COUNT(*) = @c

However, as comments to the question allude, this approach to searching leaves a lot of open questions. If you can take a look at SQL Server Full-Text Search - more effort to setup but much better results.


Adam did such a fantastic job of restoring our pool deck from what was a very poor job done by someone else. He was reliable, clear in what he would do and easy to deal with. When there were some issues with the decking leaching onto our pool, Adam went to great measures to clean it up, even though it was not his fault or problem. I also appreciate his yearly deck check to keep the deck healthy which is so important in Cairns. We would highly recommend Adam to anyone wanting someone both capable and reliable.

So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view.
Dang it! It's a great honor and all, but I really don't need this right now. I've got wars in Afghanistan and Iraq—not to mention nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea. Man, don't they know I've still got health-care reform and the economic downturn to figure out at home? And on top of that, this will just be more fodder for all the haters who want to see me fail no matter what. Couldn't they have put me on the list for 2017?
Well, at least that's what I would've been thinking if I were in his shoes.
I also was shocked to hear the news this morning that Obama had won the Peace Prize. Clearly, he has yet to accomplish anything concrete that would naturally point to his selection. However, I do agree in part with Fareed Zakaria's take over at CNN.com that this is more of an award to America—a challenge and encouragement to us (and the world) to pursue the high rhetoric of hope and international cooperation that Obama has advocated.
What's more, the award is also a recognition of what happened in the U.S. last November when we elected Obama. It's a salute to America's ability to finally rise up to the ideals of equality, freedom, and strength through diversity that it was founded on. I think if our country is truly serious about living up to those ideals, we will ultimately prove the Nobel committee members to have been correct in their decision, whether we like Obama or not.
"When I smoke this, I don't experience any unhappiness. My nerves calm down. If I don't do this I go crazy," says Karima, an addict who is the mother of six children. She shares her home with her addicted parents and other relatives in a poor hillside neighborhood in Kabul.
Her young children suffer ill effects of being bathed by opium and heroin smoke since birth. They do not attend school. The oldest is Fahima. At 12, she is the size of a child half her age. She has big brown eyes and bald spots on her head from malnutrition.
Fahima is the one her mother sends out to buy drugs to stoke her habit. "My mom nags me to go get hashish and opium so she can be happy. If she doesn't use it, she gets angry and hits us all," Fahima says.
The soaring rates of drug abuse are driven in part by Afghanistan's widespread unemployment and social upheaval under the Taliban and the U.S.-led war, begun in 2001. Another factor is the flood of returning Afghan refugees from Iran, many of whom became heroin addicts there.
And fueling it all is an overabundance of opium and heroin in Afghanistan, the world's largest cultivator of poppies in the world.
The addicts say that heroin is a cheap way to forget their miserable existence.
My wife and I were both quiet after listening to this report. We were particulary saddened by the reporter's final description of the 12-year-old Fahima.
Please join me in praying for the situation in Afghanistan, especially for the innocent lives that are being devastated by the side effects of war and oppression.
I'll admit that I'm a bit slow in understanding all the details of the current Israeli-Gaza conflict that's tearing apart the Middle East and causing the deaths of countless innocent men, women, and children. I know the bloody history and understand that Israel must defend itself. And what's more, as an American evangelical, I know the expected response is for us to automatically side with Israel. But, as always, there's more than one side to the story. And in this case, people who have nothing to do with the central conflict have become the primary victims of the violence. So, as Christians, how are we to think about this thing?
I'm serious about that last question. I'd really like to hear from you regarding your thoughts on this issue. If there are articles, books, blog posts, etc. that have been particularly helpful to you in sorting out this issue, please share your recommendations here. I, for one, need to brush up on the history and its relationship to the present crisis. For instance, I found the perspective in this op-ed from Wednesday's New York Times to be very informative.
For you strong supporters of Israel out there, please don't take this post the wrong way. I'm not anti-Israel; I'm genuinely trying to make sense of this thing. So, I look forward to your suggestions for resources.
In many ways, I feel like Glenn Loury in this Bloggingheads.tv clip—shocked, saddened, exasperated. I know how I feel, but how should I be thinking? And, more important, how exactly should we be praying for peace in this situation?

Q: How to use funcall on a method to set an attribute of an object Considering this code:
(defclass test () ((test :initform nil :accessor test)))
#<STANDARD-CLASS TEST>
(defvar *test* (make-instance 'test))
*TEST*

and this test:
(funcall #'test *test*)
nil

one would expect that this works:
(setf (funcall #'test *test*) 123)

the same as
(setf (test *test*) 123)
123

but it results in this:
; in: LAMBDA NIL
;     (FUNCALL #'(SETF FUNCALL) #:NEW1175 #:TMP1177 #:TMP1176)
; ==>
;   (SB-C::%FUNCALL #'(SETF FUNCALL) #:NEW1175 #:TMP1177 #:TMP1176)
;
; caught WARNING:
;   The function (SETF FUNCALL) is undefined, and its name is reserved by ANSI CL
;   so that even if it were defined later, the code doing so would not be portable.
;
; compilation unit finished
;   Undefined function:
;     (SETF FUNCALL)
;   caught 1 WARNING condition

Why doesn't it work, and how can I work around it?
I tested it using either SBCL and CLISP with the same result.

A: SETF is a special form (see http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/05_aa.htm for the part of the spec explaining it). Your second example works because the lisp implementation interprets (test *test*) syntactically.
To see what's going on, look at this session:
This is SBCL 1.0.56.0.debian, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

* (defclass test () ((test :initform nil :accessor test)))

#<STANDARD-CLASS TEST>
* (defvar *test* (make-instance 'test))

*TEST*
* (macroexpand '(setf (test *test*) 123))

(LET* ((#:*TEST*606 *TEST*))
  (MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND (#:NEW605)
      123
    (FUNCALL #'(SETF TEST) #:NEW605 #:*TEST*606)))
T
* #'(setf test)

#<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION (SETF TEST) (1)>
* (macroexpand '(setf (funcall #'test *test*) 123))

(LET* ((#:G609 #'TEST) (#:*TEST*608 *TEST*))
  (MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND (#:NEW607)
      123
    (FUNCALL #'(SETF FUNCALL) #:NEW607 #:G609 #:*TEST*608)))
T

Note that the first macroexpansion grabs #'(setf test), which is the writer function that gets automatically defined by your defclass call. The second blindly translates to #'(setf funcall), which doesn't exist (hence the error).
To answer your "how can I work around it?" question, we'd probably need to know more about what you're trying to do. For example, you could use something like (setf (slot-value object slot-name)) which would allow you to choose the slot programmatically.

A: The :accessor slot option defines two functions: FOO to read the slot value and (SETF FOO) to set the slot value. Note that in the latter case in Common Lisp the function name is not a symbol, but a list.
If you want to have a list of functions and values (your comment), then your list needs to contain the setter functions.
(defclass test ()
 ((foo :initform nil :accessor foo)
  (bar :initform nil :accessor bar)))

(map nil
     (lambda (function argument)
       (funcall function argument object))
     (list #'(setf foo) #'(setf bar))
     (list arg1 arg2))

A clearing member must accept or reject each trade submitted for clearing as quickly as technologically practicable as if fully automated systems were used. This timing standard requires action in seconds or, at most, minutes. In order to accomplish this, clearing members are required to: (1) establish credit and market risk-based limits based on position size, order size, margin requirements, or similar factors that will allow it to determine whether to accept trades for clearing; (2) use automated means to screen orders for compliance with these limits; (3) monitor for adherence to the risk-based limits intra-day and overnight; (4) conduct stress tests and evaluate its ability to meet initial margin requirements at least once per week; (5) evaluate its ability to liquidate positions at least once per month; and (6) test all lines of credit at least once per year.


Running parallel to the academic and co-curricula programs is a new initiative, the 9/10 B2M program.
The Great South West Journey has been specifically designed with BGS Year 9 boys in mind. In line with the School's extensive Outdoor Education program, the 12-day journey will challenge the boys to perform as a team, while offering unique leadership opportunities.
The journey includes a mixture of canoeing, mountain biking and bushwalking, to provide access to different forms of journeying in a range of environments. This ensures that the boys have a well-rounded experience, as some will excel in particular areas, and may find it tougher in others. While the whole group will be in the area at once, the boys will be in small groups, of between 10 and 15, for their journey. The Lower Glenelg, Discovery Bay and Cobbobonee National Parks together, are unrivalled as a venue for such an extended journey.
The areas are naturally spectacular and offer a sense of remoteness, while still being relatively accessible. The Great South West can, at times, be quite diverse with its weather conditions. This will no doubt add to the challenge.
The itinerary has been deliberately designed to provide a physical and mental challenge. It will be imperative that the boys quickly bond and work as a team over the long days. This will be achieved with the assistance of two experienced Group Leaders, who will travel with the group and provide structure and guidance when necessary, but step back to create space for the boys to step up and lead when the opportunity arises.
Ultimately, the journey and experience will be owned and created by the boys. Additional specialist staff will travel with the groups during the canoe and mountain bike legs.
These staff members will provide initial instruction, and then step back to let the group manage itself, while maintaining safety as a priority. It promises to be an amazing journey!
In Year 9 2019, all boys will either complete 9.6 or 18.8 kilometre runs or work in a support capacity, either in fundraising or event support. In preparation, the boys will spend time learning why Connor's Run is significant, not only to the Brighton Grammar community but also to the wider community and the wider world. The boys will be trained by Olympic athletes such as Tasmin Lewis Manou and James Tomkins. Then they'll run or walk or support their way to a memorable contribution to society.
The second Outdoor Education Journey for the Year 9 boys is the third stage in their Year 9 B2M experience (after the Great South West Journey and Service trips). Run early in Term 4, the boys will have grown physically, emotionally and mentally since their Great South West Journey in Term 1. We are aiming to extend their experience of the river landscapes with a 'choose your challenge' suite of river journeys. All journeys will involve a hiking aspect, river aspect and a full boys-cater aspect.
Still in the developmental stage – the BGS Outdoor Education team is working toward a partnership with an experienced outdoor education provider to offer the boys a number of spring-time journeys that showcase the best river landscapes Victoria has to offer. Rivers will be graded as to their challenge level and commitment from the boys – from a mild challenge and low commitment option (i.e. The Yarra River Corridor) to a high challenge and high commitment option (i.e. The Snowy River).
Offering the boys options at this stage shows that we are honouring their growth as young men, allowing them to experience a mode of travel new to our sequence (whitewater rafting). These journeys will extend their previous outdoor ed skills, while giving them the option to visit and explore a river of their choosing.
As a School community we pride ourselves on the contributions we make by our service to others. B2M allows numerous opportunities for 'Service'.
The opportunity for boys to indicate preferences will be completed in mid to late Year 8.
Please note: for some Services programs, additional charges apply.
See below for the list of optional Service trips.
Berendale is a modern and innovative school that offers an alternative education for students with a mild to moderate intellectual disability. It is a Secondary Special School. Berendale is located in Hampton East and services students in the South Eastern suburbs.
Brighton Grammar has stong links to Berendale, with our students together sharing the Sony Frankston Camp in December in each year.
In 2019, the boys will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of a significant work of art, under the guidance of an Artist in Residence. The artwork will be jointly constructed, by both Berendale and BGS students and will then remain for the students of Berendale to enjoy.
BGS boys would have the opportunity to work alongside the Artist at Berendale for five days, Monday – Friday, returning to their own homes each evening.
Details of the appointed artist and the probable project will be available in early 2019.
Note – program cost: $500.
The Cape York Experience is a journey across Cape York with an extended stay in an Indigenous communities. We will fly to Cairns and spend two days exploring the beautiful wet tropics before we head to the remote Indigenous community of Pormpuraaw.
From Cairns we will drive north along the famous Bloomfield track, visiting Cooya Beach for a mangrove tour, Wonga Beach, the Daintree Discovery Centre, Cape Tribulation, and will then stay overnight in the Indigenous community of Wujal Wujal (Bloomfield). We then head west into the dry rocky interior, where the boys will explore some amazing Indigenous rock art sites and spend a night camping at the Jowalbinna Rock Art Safari Camp. From Jowalbinna we continue west across the cape to the remote Indigenous community, which is situated on the Gulf of Carpentaria.
The boys will spend a week living in the community, visiting the school and working with the Indigenous children. There will be many opportunities to immerse themselves into Indigenous culture, experience first-hand contemporary community lifestyles, go fishing, see crocs, and possibly go camping with Indigenous elders.
Note – program cost: $2,750.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the living wonders of the world… and it is suffering. The boys will have the opportunity to learn more about the plight of the Reef, and how they might be able to positively lead the change to help the Reef in the future.
What better way to learn about the Reef than by getting out and seeing it? This program will be based out of Port Douglas. A marine biologist will be with the boys throughout the week. They'll spend time snorkelling and swimming, but also time in discussion and reflection on the current and future state of the Reef.
Each day will involve education sessions, then snorkelling, where the boys will undertake underwater learning tasks and observations involving fish, coral, turtles and other life sustained by the Reef.
Accommodation will be comfortable, and all meals, transport, equipment and specialist tutoring is included.
Note – program cost: $3,025.
Human Melbourne (previously Urban Melbourne) is based at the 'live-in' program run by The Brotherhood of St Laurence at their premises in Fitzroy. A specially designed program for Brighton Grammar, this program offers a mix of activities over five days and four nights, covering a range of community issues. Boys are offered the opportunity to share time and experiences with those financially and socially disadvantaged who rely on The Brotherhood on a daily basis. The people range from the elderly to young primary school students from the local housing commission area.
While much will be based in and around the city, local service is also vital and so our boys will also have the chance to spend some time with the residents at Bayley House in Brighton, all of whom have some intellectual disability. The boys may also complete an education session: either at The Big Issue, assisting at the Red Cross at their warehouse or making Trauma Teddies; or spending time with some local elderly people. All of these are positive possibilities with final details to be released closer to the program.
Note – program cost: no cost.
A popular option over the past five years has been the visit to the Martyrs Memorial School in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Brighton Grammar has had a relationship with Martyrs Memorial School since 1963.
The Martyrs Memorial School is in Popondetta, a remote community of PNG. Approximately 600 children attend the school and all staff and children live on site. The facilities are very basic and money is tight – if, in November the money runs out, then the school closes for the year and everyone goes home.
Each group of BGS boys who take this opportunity are assigned a major project to enhance the infrastructure of the school. Projects in recent years have included building stairs and store rooms, painting, and installing a computer network. Not only is this an outstanding opportunity for our boys to learn some carpentry skills and how to work hard to complete a task in very hot and humid conditions, but it also gives them first-hand exposure to the poverty other communities live in and the difference they themselves can make.
Upon their return home, boys from previous trips have always expressed how satisfying it was to have done the work and they seemed very moved and humbled by the gratitude of the local people – not to mention how impressed they are by their kindness, humour, athleticism and generosity.
However, the trip is not all about hard work. Each group is greeted with a thrilling welcome by body painted dancers followed by an afternoon tea and dinner provided by the School. The boys also play sport together with the local children, explore the jungle, swim, and take expeditions to various Australian war sites.
Note: Due to the remote location of the camp and inaccessibility of medical facilities, it is strongly recommended that students with serious medical conditions such as anaphylaxis, epilepsy, diabetes or other do not attend this journey. All immunisations must be up to date for boys to travel to PNG.
Service comes in many forms. Creative thinking and innovation is a form of service. If you can think differently and help an organisation or an individual solve a problem, you are providing a significant service. During WeDesign, the students use human-centred design thinking to solve real problems for the city of Melbourne.
Human-centred design is a creative approach to problem-solving. The process begins with the people we're designing for and ends with new solutions that are tailor-made to suit their needs. Human-centred design thinking is all about building a deep empathy with the people we're designing for; generating tonnes of ideas; building a bunch of prototypes; sharing what we've made with the people we're designing for; and, eventually, putting our innovative new solution out into the world.
The students will be based in the heart of Melbourne. We'll visit some social service organisations and hear about some of the challenges they face. (Some organisations are so busy delivering their service, they don't have the capacity to think about more innovative ways to do it.) We'll also consider some of the broader issues within Melbourne. Then we'll identify some key issues and use human-centred design to seek to solve them, creatively.
Whether it's about finding perspective, overcoming obstacles or gaining confidence, travelling through South East Asia on a program with World Youth Adventures builds the life skills young people need to live a life of courage, kindness and adventure.
it's natural habitat. We finish our service programs with a tree planting project.
Due to the remote location of the camp and inaccessibility of medical facilities, it is strongly recommended that students with serious medical conditions such as anaphylaxis, epilepsy, diabetes or other do not attend this journey. All immunisations must be up to date for boys to travel to Borneo.
Note – program cost approx. $4,100 approx.

Is wild rice Pilaf good for you?
Is wild rice anti inflammatory?
What is the healthiest wild rice?
Is wild rice hard to digest?
The low calorie and high nutrient contents make wild rice a nutrient-dense food. It's a very impressive source of minerals and a great plant-based protein source. Wild rice boasts impressive amounts of several nutrients, including protein, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc.
What does wild rice do for the body?
Research has shown that wild rice has powerful antioxidant and lipid-lowering properties. It's also a rich source of dietary fiber. Getting sufficient dietary fiber is essential for keeping cholesterol low. Wild rice is a good source of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA).
Reduces Inflammation Instead of acid-forming like most grains, wild rice is alkaline-forming. The balance created by consuming alkaline-forming foods helps your body treat and prevent all sorts of inflammation.
Is wild rice high in arsenic?
Some believe that wild rice is the best choice to avoid arsenic, but it's not necessarily any better than white or other rice varieties. Wild rice still takes up a lot of arsenic from the environment. Growing it in an arsenic polluted area will cause it to have high levels of arsenic.
"The antioxidant content of black rice is six times higher than any other grain and it reduces inflammation in the body better than any other type of rice," Friedman continues.
Which rice is the healthiest for you?
Research shows that black rice has the highest antioxidant activity of all the varieties, making it a nutritious choice ( 7 ). Antioxidants are compounds that protect cells from damage caused by an excess of molecules called free radicals, which contribute to a condition known as oxidative stress.
Wild rice is the easiest rices to digest and contains no arsenic like other types of rice do. It's also the only rice Native to North America and only two other varieties exist worldwide, which are grown in Asia where they're consumed as a vegetable, not a grain.

The vibrant scent of the women's fragrance Rumba Passion makes it a great choice for a girls' night out or a date night when you decide to go out dancing. Created by the fragrance design specialists at Ted Lapidus, this scent is definitely feminine and very lovely. The fragrance is based on floral notes of orange blossom, jasmine and rose in combination with the herbal notes of patchouli and the rich, heady notes of vanilla.
This is a floral fruity fragrance for women, which is romantic and alluring. Translated from the French, the name can mean either 'the History of Love' or the 'Story of Love'. The woman who wear this scent tells her own 'story'; with words written in fragant notes of lavender, raspberry, lily-of-the-valley and watermelon.

Sculpting The Future An Ice Block At A Time
From Chef David Robbinson, Bayfront Convention Center
When I look up, I see the future.
Except for when the ice fogs up my glasses.
As executive chef, one of my responsibilities at the Bayfront Convention Center is to make the ice sculptures you see at many of our events. Like, for instance, Wine on the Lake, which we had just a few weeks ago.
Me working on sculpting a car made of ice.
We used 12,000 pounds of ice and 29 blocks of ice. Signs with company logos on them take about four hours. Ice work at the bar takes about eight. The car I made, which you can see in these pictures, took 36 hours.
It's quite the process. I've been carving for many years. I carved competitively, in fact. But when I was asked to write this blog, I didn't want it to be about me.
I wanted it to be about the future. And the ice, of course, but mostly the future.
When I took this job, my goal was to give back to the community. Working with Jake Juliano, our sous chef, has given me one way to do that.
Jake has been here for about four years. He had never touched a block of ice before this, but Jake came in and said he wanted to learn.
It's a continual training and learning process, and we do everything by hand. The whole point of ice sculptures is to show emotion, and it's an art form which, like many art forms nowadays, is becoming more technological than hand-crafted. But here, every ice block you see — company logos, figures, cars — is handmade by us.
With all the other responsibilities we have, it's been off-and-on training for Jake. But when we had the chance, I gave him an ice block, showed him the basic cuts, and we started along in the process.
One of the signs that Jake worked on.
We've had to look at the big picture — literally. "You gotta leave it big" is one message I've passed on to Jake. Knowing your medium is going to melt, you have to keep that in mind. If it's marble or clay, it's going to stay. But ice is going to melt. So you have to have a big piece to work with, because naturally it's going to melt as time goes on.
I'm excited to continue passing my knowledge on. Where Jake is now, he's proficient at signs, support structures and that sort of thing. The next step is to work on figures and human anatomy.
With our power tools in hand, Jake will continue to grow. And as I'm working on my pieces, I can look up and see all the progress that Jake is making, too.
The future is bright.
And cold. Very, very cold.

Richard Brome (né vers 1590 et mort en 1652) était un dramaturge anglais de l'époque de Charles , auteur comique du théâtre élisabéthain.

Biographie
On ne connaît quasiment rien de la vie privée de Brome. De multiples allusions dans des œuvres de l'époque, comme dans Bartholomew Fair de Ben Jonson, indiquent que Brome débuta comme domestique de Jonson. Les universitaires qui ont analysé ces allusions pensent que Brome commença comme laquais, pour devenir plus tard une sorte de secrétaire et d'assistant du dramaturge plus âgé. Une brève mention des besoins de sa famille semble montrer qu'il avait une femme et des enfants, et qu'il se démenait pour leur subsistance.

Il avait peut-être quelque expérience d'acteur professionnel, car il figure sur un bordereau de 1628 le listant dans la troupe de lady Elizabeth. À cette date, il avait pourtant déjà commencé à écrire pour le théâtre. Une première collaboration, A Fault in Friendship (maintenant perdue) reçut une licence en 1623 pour la troupe du prince Charles; une pièce écrite par Brome seul, The Lovesick Maid (aussi perdue), fut un succès pour la troupe du lord Chamberlain. The Northern Lass (1632) fut un autre succès, qui fit la réputation de Brome. Cette pièce lui valut les éloges un peu paternalistes de Jonson, qui lui écrivit dans la préface quelques vers, éclairant leur ancienne relation, et commençant par :
 Je t'ai eu autrefois comme domestique, Dick Brome ;
 Et tu remplissais loyalement ton rôle de serviteur ;
 Maintenant tu es entré dans un état plus proche
 De la camaraderie, en exerçant mon propre art.
 Et tu le pratiques bien, avec de bons succès,
 Que tu as obtenus à juste titre de la scène,
 En observant ces lois du comique
 Que moi, ton maître, t'ai tout d'abord enseignées.

Grâce à la conservation des documents légaux, on connaît bien mieux ses activités professionnelles que sa vie privée. Une fois consacré dramaturge, Brome écrivit pour toutes les compagnies majeures et pour les théâtres de l'époque : pour le Blackfriars Theatre, pour le Red Bull Theatre, et, à partir de 1635, pour la compagnie des festivités du roi et la troupe de la reine Henriette au Salisbury Court Theatre. Le Sparagus Garden de Brome fut un immense succès au Salisbury Court en 1635, faisant plus de 1000 £ de recette. Grâce à ce résultat, Brome signa un contrat de trois ans avec Richard Heton, directeur du Salisbury Court, pour lui écrire trois pièces par an au salaire de 15 shillings par semaine, plus une soirée-bénéfice par pièce. Brome fut cependant incapable de produire des spectacles à ce rythme, et le salaire promis à Brome ne fut pas maintenu. Ayant besoin d'argent, Brome fit appel à Christopher Beeston, acteur, impresario, et propriétaire du Red Bull Theatre et du Cockpit Theatre, appelé alors aussi le Phoenix en raison de sa reconstruction après un incendie. En , Beeston avança  à Brome, qui devait en retour lui écrire une pièce. Heton tenta d'attirer de nouveau Brome avec un cachet de  pour une pièce nouvelle; mais ils ne tinrent pas leurs engagements, et Brome se tourna de nouveau vers Beeston. Heton fit appel à sir Henry Herbert, Maître des festivités, pour régler le litige; Herbert décréta que Brome fût payé six shillings par semaine et  pour chaque nouvelle pièce, ces paiements devant être maintenus même pendant la période de fermeture des théâtres.

Ce conflit était d'autant plus compliqué que les théâtres subirent leur plus longue fermeture forcée à cause d'une épidémie de peste ; ils furent fermés presque continuellement du  au . La compagnie des festivités du roi, qui occupait le Salisbury Court Theatre, dut se dissoudre définitivement pendant cette longue fermeture. Beeston expulsa la troupe de la reine Henriette du Cockpit Theatre en 1636, forçant cette compagnie à se séparer pour un temps. Mais cette troupe put se reformer grâce à l'aide de sir Henry Herbert, qui possédait une part dans le Salisbury Court Theatre. Quand la peste s'atténua suffisamment pour permettre la reprise des spectacles en , la troupe de la reine, réorganisée, commença la saison nouvelle au Salisbury Court Theatre avec, semble-t-il, The English Moor de Brome.

Quand le contrat de 1635 de Brome avec Heton s'acheva en 1638, de nouveaux litiges apparurent entre Brome, Beeston, et Heton; et une plainte fut déposée contre Brome, mais la suite de cette affaire reste inconnue.

Lorsque les puritains fermèrent les théâtres en 1642, il semble que Brome se battit plus véhémentement. Il a peut-être écrit un divertissement, Juno in Arcadia, qui aurait été joué lors de l'arrivée en 1643 à Oxford de la reine Henriette-Marie de France. Il a écrit aussi des vers de louange pour le premier folio de Beaumont and Fletcher (1647). En 1649-1650, il édita un volume d'élégies intitulé Lachrymae Musarum, à l'occasion de la mort d'Henry, Lord Hastings. En 1652, dans une dédicace à Thomas Stanley pour une édition in-quarto de son The Jovial Crew, Brome se décrit comme « pauvre et fier ».

Œuvres
Les pièces que Brome a écrites sont toutes des comédies. Elles sont très influencées par la comédie jonsonienne. De l'avis général et sans ambiguïté, il était l'un des enfants de Ben. Ses œuvres qui ont survécu sont :
The City Wit, or The Woman wears the Breeches, vers 1629, repris en 1637, imprimé en 1653
The Northern Lass, joué en 1629, imprimé en 1632
The Queen's Exchange, vers 1629-1630?, imprimé en 1657
The Novella, joué en 1632, imprimé en 1653
The Weeding of Covent Garden, or The Middlesex Justice of Peace, joué en 1633?, imprimé en 1658
The Sparagus Garden, joué en 1635, imprimé en 1640
The Damoiselle, or The new Ordinary, vers 1638?, imprimé en 1653
The English Moor, or The Mock Marriage, joué en 1637, imprimé en 1659
The Antipodes, joué en 1638, imprimé en 1640
A Mad Couple Well-Match'd, joué en 1639?, imprimé en 1653
The Love-sick Court, or The Ambitious Politique, enregistré en 1640, imprimé en 1659
The Court Beggar, ?1640, imprimé en 1653
The New Academy, or The New Exchange, enregistré en 1640, imprimé en 1658
The Queen and Concubine, vers 1635-1639?, imprimé en 1659
The Jovial Crew, or the Merry Beggars (La Troupe joviale), joué en ?1641, imprimé en 1652.
The English Moor n'a survécu que sous forme manuscrite.

Brome collabora avec Thomas Heywood dans The Late Lancashire Witches, qui fut joué par la troupe du roi et imprimé en 1634. Cette pièce est basée sur des événements contemporains des années 1633-1634.

Les pièces de Brome qui n'ont pas survécu comprennent : The Lovesick Maid (1629), Wit in a Madness (?1637), The Jewish Gentleman (enregistré en 1640), A Fault in Friendship (1623), peut-être avec Jonson et un autre collaborateur, deux autres collaborations avec Heywood, The Life and Death of Sir Martin Skink (vers 1634) et The Apprentice's Prize (vers 1633-1641), Christianetta, or Marriage and Hanging Go by Destiny (enregistré en 1640), peut-être en collaboration avec George Chapman

Alfred Harbage a soutenu, en se basant sur les intrigues et le style, que deux des pièces de Dryden, The Wild Gallant (1663) et The Mistaken Husband (1674), étaient des adaptations d'autres pièces perdues de Brome.

Dans sa carrière de dramaturge actif, qui dura moins de quinze ans, de 1629 à 1642, Brome a produit en moyenne environ deux pièces par an. En comparant avec les autres dramaturges du théâtre élisabéthain, cela semble être la productivité maximum d'un auteur de théâtre, qui travaille seul. Cela confirme l'impossibilité pour Brome de tenir son engagement de trois pièces par an.

Éditions
Deux importantes collections des œuvres de Brome apparurent en 1653 et 1659, toutes les deux intitulées de façon confondante Five New Plays. L'édition de 1653, publiée par Humphrey Moseley, Richard Marriot, et Thomas Dring, contient A Mad Couple Well-Match'd, The Novella, The Court Beggar, The City Wit, et The Demoiselle. Elle comporte une lettre aux lecteurs, écrite par Alexandre Brome, qui n'avait, croit-on, aucun lien de parenté avec lui. Le volume de 1659, publié par Andrew Crooke et Henry Brome (sans parenté encore ici), contient The English Moor, The Lovesick Court, The Weeding of Covent Garden, The New Academy, et The Queen and Concubine.

L'édition de 1653 comporte également un portrait accompagné d'un poème d'Alexandre Brome imité du poème de Jonson accompagnant le portrait de Shakespeare du Premier Folio :

Influence
Lorsque les théâtres rouvrirent durant la Restauration, une poignée de pièces de Brome furent jouées et republiées : la plus appréciée fut The Jovial Crew (La Troupe joviale), qui fut jouée de nombreuses fois et imprimée en 1661, 1684 et 1708. Elle fut adaptée en opéra en 1731. D'autres pièces de Brome furent adaptées. Ainsi  The Debauchee d'Aphra Behn (imprimée en 1677) est une réécriture de la pièce de Brome, A Mad Couple Well-Match'd, les noms des personnages ayant même été conservés.

I recently watched this video with Matteo, and had to get him to translate it for me, which he tends to miss out half of what is going on when he is translating videos for me. But luckily I managed to come across a version with english subtitles. I think it is just bellissimo! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
When I watched this, it was with teary eyes. What nice youngsters, I hope they keep that attitude.
Me too! I thought they were so sweet and adorable! Definitely how I would like to bring my future children up!
My favourite part was when he said "Why? Because I'm a man". Lovely!

Herman Miller's Cube Sofa Returns, Half a Century After its Birth
George Nelson's Cube Sofa for Herman Miller returns to production half a century after the legendary design was born.
"George Nelson led with the belief that 'there is a market for good design,'" says Ben Watson, president of Herman Miller. "The Cube Sofa is the encapsulation of good design—remarkable comfort achieved by developing the perfect seat depth and pitch, combined with a clean, tailored aesthetic that remains modern in any century."
George Nelson, whose clean, bold designs also inspired a collection from Bonaldo this year, designed the Cube Sofa in the 1960s. "With its soft button-tufted cushions and tailored solid wood frame, Nelson—the legendary design director for Herman Miller—created a timeless design that feels every bit as relevant today as it did over a half-century ago," Ben says. "Today the Cube Sofa is back in production at a 200-year-old furniture manufacturer in upstate New York, with a process that combines traditional, fine woodworking with modern, low-maintenance materials."
The original 1968 design was updated and reintroduced for the first time for residential as well as commercial customers this year. It's now available in the original lounge chair and 80-inch sofa as well as in a new 92-inch length sofa—a response, Ben says, to the way people live and work today. "The current fabrication of the Cube Sofa stays true to the original process, even considering the complex tri-mitered solid wood frame. This coupled with high-resiliency foam cushions and modern elastomeric webbing suspension provides a long, low-maintenance lifespan for the sofa."
The Cube Sofa is accompanied by the Cube Armchair, the other half of the Cube Collection. The Noguchi Table sits in front.
Herman Miller produced the Cube Sofa from from 1968 to 1974.
The company resumed production of the iconic sofa this year.

In October 1922, the Conservatives voted to bring down the coalition. Churchill was not in a fit state to fight his seat. He'd just been operated on for appendicitis and was too ill to take part in the earlier stages of the election. Clearly unwell and unable to fight with his usual vim and vigour, he lost.
Out of Parliament for the first time in twenty two years (apart from a few weeks in 1908), he retired to the South of France, took up writing again – he embarked on a mammoth history of the First World War, The World Crisis – but he couldn't stay away from politics for long.
On his arrival in Durban in December 1899, Churchill was hailed a war hero after his daring escape from the Boer POW camp. His new fame allowed him to override the objections of the War Office and he continued to assume the dual role of officer – with a local volunteer unit, the South African Light Horse – and war correspondent.
For the next six months, he encountered fire, took part in the bloody and unsuccessful battle of Spion Kop in January 1900 and, as the war turned in Britain's favour, was present at the relief of Ladysmith and the occupation of Pretoria. Returning to England in July 1900, Churchill was feted on the streets of Oldham.
Although he was defeated in his first attempt to enter Parliament in 1899, Churchill's fame following his dramatic escape from the Boers tipped the balance in the election of 1900. He achieved a small majority and won his longed-for 'seat' as a Conservative MP for Oldham, Lancashire, beginning a political career that would last over sixty years.
He made his maiden speech in the House of Commons on 18 February 1901 at the age of twenty-six, speaking immediately after Lloyd George, ensuring the young politician a very full house. Churchill had prepared his speech very carefully and more or less learned it by heart. Although this isn't unusual in a maiden speaker, Churchill – more unusually – continued this meticulous preparation throughout his career.
I am an English Liberal. I hate the Tory party, their men, their words and their methods. I feel no sort of sympathy with them – except to my own people at Oldham.
Churchill was appointed Home Secretary following the January 1910 election, when the Liberal party was again returned to power. It was during this time that he most clearly demonstrated that strange mix of his nature – of the radical reformer and the reactionary. While he helped introduce reforms to the prison system, reducing sentencing for younger people and improving conditions, he also opposed strikers and refused to support votes for women.
In 1905, Prime Minister Balfour resigned and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman formed a government pending a January election, appointing Churchill as Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, assisting Lord Elgin. And in the Liberal Party's landslide election victory in early 1906, Churchill was elected as the Liberal MP for North-West Manchester. Churchill, the ambitious, shining 'glow-worm', was on his way.
Churchill left Harrow School in 1892 and went to a 'crammer' to help him pass the entrance exam into the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, which he eventually did on the third attempt in 1893. He found life at Sandhurst much more suited to his temperament and talents than school life. Military topics such as tactics and fortifications were far more appealing to him than mathematics and he was a skilled horseman. The practical nature of the course appealed to him and he passed with credit in December 1894, twentieth out of a class of one hundred and thirty.
In February 1895, Churchill joined the 4th Queen's Own Hussars, a fashionable cavalry regiment, as a 2nd Lieutenant, as a way of gaining some experience before working his way into politics. Churchill's regiment, the 4th Queen's Own Hussars, amalgamated with the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars in 1958 to form the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars. After further cuts in 1993, the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars amalgamated with the Queen's Own Hussars (formerly the 3rd King's Own Hussars and 7th Queen's Hussars) to form the Queen's Royal Hussars.
It is a fine game to play – the game of politics – and it is well worth a good hand – before really plunging.
Churchill rapidly established himself as a prominent New Liberal, combining a commitment to free trade with support for a programme of social reform and was one of the main architects of Britain's incipient welfare state. To those Tories he'd 'betrayed' by 'crossing the floor', he was now betraying their class, too. By April 1908, however, his 'star' seemed to be shining clearer and clearer (see prophecy), as he achieved cabinet rank, as President of the Board of Trade in Herbert Asquith's new government, at the age of only thirty-three. In this role he introduced a number of initiatives (not all of which were adopted during his tenure but were later).
When Churchill was eighty-eight he was asked by the Duke of Edinburgh how he'd like to be remembered. He reportedly replied that he'd like a scholarship named after him, like the Rhodes Scholarship but for the wider masses.
To get young Americans studying at the new Churchill College, Cambridge, a Foundation was created as a vehicle for the Churchill Scholarship in July 1959 (in fact, the Foundation predates the Royal Charter for Churchill College and has been a steady companion of the College from its creation). Now called the Winston Churchill Foundation of the US, it's a reminder of Anglo–US cooperation and friendship. It 'honours Churchill's name not by looking back at his past but by looking to the future of science and technology as drivers of global security and economic development' (Winston Churchill Foundation of the US).
