Style is not a tool, it is not a method, it is not a choice of words alone. Being much more than all this, style constitutes an intrinsic component or characteristic of the author's personality. Thus when we speak of style we mean an individual artist's peculiar nature, and the way it expresses itself in his artistic output. It is essential to remember that though every living person may have his or her own style, it is the style peculiar to this or that individual writer of genius that is alone worth discussion. And this genius cannot express itself in a writer's literary style unless it is present in his soul. A mode of expression can be perfected by an author. It is not unusual that in the course of his literary career a writer's style becomes ever more precise and impressive, as indeed Jane Austen's did. But a writer devoid of talent cannot develop a literary style of any worth; at best it will be an artificial mechanism deliberately set together and devoid of the divine spark.
This is why I do not believe that anybody can be taught to write fiction unless he already possesses literary talent. Only in the latter case can a young author be helped to find himself, to free his language from clichés, to eliminate clumsiness, to form a habit of searching with unflinching patience for the right word, the only right word which will convey with the utmost precision the exact shade and intensity of thought.
–Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Literature.
Edited by Fredson Bowers,
Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Publishers. 1980.

I've never been interested in anything about writing after having learned, I hope, to write. That is, I mastered my craft as well as I could. There is a technique, there is a craft, and you have to learn it. Well, I did as well as I could with that, but now all in the world I am interested in is telling a story. I have something to tell you that I, for some reason, think is worth telling, and so I want to tell it as clearly and purely and simply as I can. But I had spent fifteen years at least learning to write. I practiced writing in every possible way that I could. I wrote a pastiche of other people, imitating Dr. Johnson and Laurence Sterne, and Perarch and Shakespeare's sonnets, and then I tried writing my own way. I spent fifteen years learning to trust myself: that's what it comes to…
A cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows it's a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourself— or at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind. Style is the man. Aristotle said it first, as far as I know, and everybody has said it since, because it is one of those unarguable truths. You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.
—Katherine Ann Porter, Conversations.
Edited by Joan Givner,
University Press of Mississippi; Jackson and London, 1987.
Style, which like architecture is a language, is not necessarily the most effective means of expressing what it represents; thus Sung wash-drawings are not the most effective means of representing landscape, nor has Cubism any special aptitude for depicting guitars and harlequins. Painting centers much less on seeing the "real world," than on making of it another world; all things visible serve style, and style serves man and his gods.
Thus, for us, a style no longer means a set of characteritics common to the works of a given school or period, an outcome or adornment of the artist's vision of the world; rather, we see it as the supreme object of the artist's activity, of which living forms are but the raw material. And so, to the question, "What is art?" we answer: "That whereby forms are transmuted into style."
At this point begins the psychology of the creative process…
A style is not merely an idiom or a mannerism; it becomes these only when, ceasing to be a conquest, it settles down into a convention. The tastes of a period are mannerisms which follow those of styles or may exist without them; but Romanesque was not a medieval "modern style," it illustrated a special attitude toward the cosmos; indeed every true style is the scaling-down to our human perspective of that eternal flux on whose mysterious rhythms we are borne ineluctably, in a never-ceasing drift of stars…
Thus styles are significations, they impose a meaning on visual experience; though often we find them conflicting with each other, passing away and superseded, always we see them replacing the uncharted scheme of things by the coherence they enforce on all they "represent." However complex, however lawless an art may claim to be— even the art of a Van Gogh or a Rimbaud— it stands for unity against the chaos of appearances; and when time has passed and it has borne fruit, this becomes apparent. Every style, in fact, creates its own universe by selecting and incorporating such elements of reality as enable the artist to focus the shape of things on some essential part of man.
—André Malraux, The Voices of Silence.
Doubleday & Co., New York, 1953.
The fate of democracy is to have entered the modern world at the same moment as capitalism, roughly during the seventeenth century. As a consequence the course of each became intertwined with the other. This meant, among other things, that the attempts to establish a democratic culture were an uphill struggle. At first democracy and capitalism were occasional allies pitted against the stratified order of monarchy, aristocracy, and established church. Then, as each became more politically self-conscious, more aware of divergent concerns, each began to define an identity and pursue strategies that reflected the reality of opposed interests, contrasting conceptions of power, and disagreement as to what degree of equality or inequality each could tolerate without compromising their respective systems.
The persisting conflict between democratic egalitarianism and an economic system that has rapidly evolved into another inegalitarian regime is a reminder that capitalism is not solely a matter of production, exchange, and reward. It is a regime in which culture, politics, and economy tend toward a seamless whole, a totality. Like the regimes it had displaced, the corporate regime manifests inequalities in every aspect of social life and defends them as essential. And like the old regimes, the structure of corporate organization follows the hierarchical principle of gradations of authority, prerogative, and reward. It is undemocratic in its structure and modus operandi and antidemocratic in its persistent effort to destroy or weaken unions, discourage minimum wage legislation, resist environmental protections, and dominate the creation and dissemination of culture (media, foundations, education).
—Sheldon S. Wolin, Democracy Incorporated.
Princeton University Press; Princeton and Oxford, 2008
The public relations industry is a phenomenon that developed in the freest countries, in Britain and the United States, and the reason is pretty clear. A century ago it became clear that it was not going to be so easy to control the population by force. Too much freedom had been won through labor organizing, parliamentary Labor parties in many countries, women starting to get the franchise, and so on. It was kind of like the '60s, the danger of democracy, and the reaction was sort of similar. A crucial part of it was the rise of the PR industry.
Its leading intellectual figure and kind of guru was Edward Bernays, a Wilson/Roosevelt/Kennedy progressive talking from the so-called left end of the political spectrum. He wrote a book called Propaganda—the term was used honestly in those days—which was a kind of manual, providing theoretical guidance for the rising public relations industry. He explained the purpose in kind of Madisonian terms. He said the country has to be governed by the "intelligent minority," which is of course us—anyone who advocates this is part of it. So the intelligent minority has to run the country in the interests of the general population. You can't let them make the decisions, because they'll make terrible decisions. Part of the way we do this is by what he called "engineering of consent." They're too dumb to understand so we'll engineer their consent to what we decide, and that's the purpose of the public relations industry.
You find this doctrine all through progressive intellectual thought, like Walter Lippmann, the major progressive intellectual of the twentieth century. He wrote famous progressive essays on democracy in which his view was exactly that. "The public must be put in their place" so that the responsible men can make decisions without interference from the "bewildered herd."
—Noam Chomsky, Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power.
Edited by Peter Hutchinson, Kelly Nyks, and Jared P. Scott.
Seven Stories Press, New York: 2017.
What I am asserting is that in this particular epoch a conjunction of historical circumstances has led to the rise of an elite of power; that the men of the circles composing this elite, severally and collectively, now make such key decisions as are made; and that, given the enlargement and the centralization of the means of power now available, the decisions that they make and fail to make carry more consequences for more people than has ever been the case in the world history of mankind.
I am also asserting that there has developed on the middle levels of power, a semi-organized stalemate, and that on the bottom level there has come into being a mass-like society which has little resemblance to the image of a society in which voluntary associations and classic publics hold the keys to power. The top of the American system of power is much more unified and much more powerful, the bottom is much more fragmented, and in truth, impotent, than is generally supposed by those who are distracted by the middling units of power which neither express such will as exists at the bottom nor determine the decisions at the top.
C. Wright Mills, The Power Elite.
Oxford University Press, New York, 1956.

March 2018- CFA International Conference
In 1983, I visited Kenya for eight weeks and in 1984, I lived in Ghana for a year. Both experiences left me with the feeling of belonging to the people and cultures of Africa. I was at home in both countries. Fast forward 35 years and dozens of African countries later, a dream came true for me. From December 4-8, 2017, in a little conference center on the outskirts of Yaoundé, Cameroon, 20 Africans from 14 countries attended the first Catalyst For Africa International Conference. I never imagined leaders from Senegal, Mali, Niger, Sierra Leonne, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Uganda, and Kenya would attend. Many of our leaders had neither traveled outside of their own country nor met each other. Even though some of our leaders spoke French and others English, we all bonded.
We feasted, shared, laughed, prayed, sang and some snored…very loudly. The messages were challenging and insightful. However, the stories of our leaders' lives were the most compelling aspect of our conference. When Yamdjeu, a young leader from Cameroon, shared his testimony everyone was spellbound.He was abandoned by his mother at six-months. As a teenager, he struggled to get along with his father and stepmom. He shared the story of being arrested and how all his friends were released when their parents came to pay the fines. Yamdjeu's parents never showed up to pay his fine. As a result, he was imprisoned for two years. The wound of being locked up and having no visitors devastated him. After he finished sharing his story, we all gathered around him and prayed. No prayer was sweeter than Patrick Mulondo's who had been a street kid in Kampala, Uganda.The model of sharing our life stories, listening and showing compassion is emulated by our leaders. That's why we're making a difference in the world.
Catalyst For Africa builds relationships by going small and going deep. We stand together supporting one another through life's struggles and successes. We strive to share and live our core values in order for lives and ministries to transform the world. We are a band of brothers and sisters, and we believe we are changing the world in Jesus's name one relationship at a time.
Join us and we can transform the world together!

Recovering from a substance use disorder is a lifelong process. Part of the work of recovery is accounting for the actions and behaviors that were a part of your active addiction. Such actions may have included dishonesty while acquiring and using drugs or alcohol or simply denying the existence of a problem, even when the signs were obvious.
If you are recovering from an addiction, you're probably well aware that there are many fences you'll need to mend, especially when it comes to family relationships. During the holiday season, you'll likely encounter many familiar faces. Some of these people will be supportive of your recovery and excited for your progress. But others might need more time to trust you again.
If you're among the estimated 10 percent of American adults in recovery for a substance use disorder, you already know that reconnecting with family may not be an easy task.1 However, by making an effort, you may end up with additional sources of support as you continue with your recovery.
Here are some tips to keep in mind while preparing for reconnecting with family members during the holidays.
A lack of communication is the leading cause of issues in the family.2 If your communication skills weren't all that great before you started recovery, making a few changes during the holidays can help foster productive conversations.
Start by letting loved ones know that you are in recovery. Be honest and admit that you still have goals to achieve—but you are making progress. You don't have to get into a detailed discussion of what contributed to your dependence. But letting your family members know you are ready to be more open with them is a good starting point.
If you've struggled with addiction, odds are you've unintentionally created some wounds and hurt some people within your family. Instead of carrying guilt and shame about your past behaviors and actions, honestly apologize to anyone who was hurt by the things you did. Be honest about your past actions and sincere in your desire to regain their trust.
You don't have to discuss every detail of your past actions during the holidays. But what you can do is look for common activities you can do with other family members. This may include playing board games, playing video games together or even helping out in the kitchen with holiday meal preparations. If your relationship with your kids or spouse was compromised, spend some extra time with them doing activities you know they enjoy.
Get your family members involved with your recovery efforts during the holidays by letting them know how they can help you stay committed to your sobriety. Such efforts may include being cautious with family gatherings where alcohol will be available. Suggesting that healthy snack options be included with holiday meals can also be helpful, since healthy eating habits can help with your recovery.
Unfortunately, not every family relationship will be repaired during the holidays. In some cases, resentment and hurt feelings may run deep. Accept the fact that some relationships may not be salvageable, even if you are enjoying a successful recovery. But don't be discouraged. Instead, focus on the positive steps you can take to repair relationships and reconnect with your loved ones during the holidays. Continue with your efforts even after the holidays.

One key area of concern when it comes to our IT infrastructure continues to be security, in particular user security. In the Oracle world, this concern exists at all levels from the front-end applications, to the middle tier level we use for deployment, to the back end tier or database layer, to the tools that we use to manage the entire infrastructure. To this end, in Cloud Control, Oracle has introduced some new features, and strengthened some of their existing functionality to help us ensure the security of Oracle's primary IT infrastructure DBA management toolset.
Essentially there are four major aspects of user security within 12c that I am going to review in this article. They are Cloud Control Authentication, Cloud Control Authorization, Credential Management and Target Authentication. In this article, we're going to look at the first two of these areas, Cloud Control Authentication and Authorization. Next month, we'll look at Credential Management (including one of my favorite new features in EM, which is Named Credentials) and Target Authentication.
Simply defined, authentication is the action of ensuring that any user attempting to connect to EM has a valid account and has provided the correct login credentials.
EM provides many different ways of configuring authentication for users to log into Cloud Control.
EM can be configured to work with an existing Oracle Fusion Middleware Single Sign On solution using its Enterprise Directory Identity Stores. For additional information and documentation on setting up OAM SSO - please refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Access Administrator.
We can use Enterprise User Security where user accounts are created and stored in an LDAP compliant directory server. After configuring the repository with EUS, we can configure EM to use EUS as its authentication option. If you would like additional information on configuring EUS, please click here.
OID is an LDAP compliant directory that is created based on an Oracle database, which is fully integrated into both Oracle Fusion and Oracle applications.
In a Windows environment, Microsoft Active Directory can be configured to be the identity store and EM can be configured to use it as the authentication tool.
The default option for EM authentication is to create administrator accounts within EM (which are database user accounts). This method allows us to take advantage of database password management and complexity rules and the use of a database password file.
Each administrator account that is created has a user name, password, password profile. Target privileges, resource privileges and roles are then granted to the user account.
You can indicate if this user is to be a Super Administrator in EM; also there is an option to not allow this user to change their own password. The subsequent steps in the wizard are used to assign the appropriate privileges to the user account.
Just like trying to manage some 200+ system privileges in a database across hundreds of users can be an administrative nightmare, trying to manage the privileges on potentially hundreds (and maybe even thousands) of targets across even a small group of users in EM can also be a cause of migraines for the EM administrator. At the same time, giving the same blanket level of access to all EM administrators is an exceedingly dangerous option (not to mention this would probably break just about every security rule out there).
Thankfully, with its combination of Authentication Schemes, User Classes and Privileges and Roles, EM can make this somewhat arduous task much simpler, and also much faster.
These are the authentication options set up for a particular target or target type. For example, host targets can use username/password, PKI infrastructure or even something like Kerberos. Databases can use a different scheme as can any kind of target. In fact, each target type could be set up to use a different Authentication Scheme in EM.
There are three levels or classes of users that can be created and managed by EM. Super Administrators, Administrators and the repository owner.
Any user created as a super administrator has full access to all targets as well as full access to all of the administrator accounts. The default Super Administrator account is SYSMAN and is created when Cloud Control is first installed. Only the Super Administrator can create other Administrator Accounts.
These are the regular administrator accounts that are created in EM. The activities and targets that an administrator can access are controlled and governed by the roles, system and target privileges that are granted specifically to the account by the Super Administrator.
This is the database administrator account that owns the EM repository. This account can not be deleted, modified or duplicated. This is the same SYSMAN account that is the default Super Administrator.
Privileges are the basic layer of access control for Administrators in EM. Just as in the database, an EM role is a named collection of privileges. There are 25 out-of-the-box roles that come pre-defined in 12c Cloud Control. Additionally, custom roles can be created to more specifically manage any of the privileges.
Privileges fall into two categories - target and resource.
Target privileges allow the user to perform activities on a specific target. Within target privileges there are those that apply to all targets, for example, full_any_target would give the privilege to do all operations on a target including removing the target altogether while view_any_target is simply the ability to look at a target's information without being able to make any changes.
There are also target privileges that are applied only to a single target such as full_target or view_target. When assigning these, the super administrator must indicate the specific target.
Resource privileges on the other hand allow the administrator to do operations against a resource rather than a target. For example, there are a series of privileges that allow users to work with Jobs in EM. These include full job privileges, edit job privileges (which does not allow a job to be deleted), view jobs and so on. These are essentially about using the features within EM rather than being able to access and manage a specific target being monitored by EM.
Needless to say, when it comes to managing user authorization, the biggest challenge is planning. Who needs what and why...and do we grant the privilege direct, or do we create our own roles and manage through them? No easy answers to this question. At least we know that EM has all the functionality to allow us to control how the users are going to be authenticated, and also allows us to restrict what they can do once they are successfully logged in.

Foresight's Lead Product Mono2Stereo™ to Go Live at CES 2023
Mark Fireman
Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: FRSX) ("Foresight" or the "Company"), an innovator in automotive vision, will showcase a live demonstration of its Mono2Stereo™ software-based solution at CES 2023. The solution is designed to create 3D perception stereo vision from existing cameras in order to enhance the performance of existing mono-camera based advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). The demonstration will be shown in booth #7409 at CES 2023, January 5–8, at the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Foresight's Mono2Stereo software-based solution uses the overlapping views of existing cameras with different fields of view to create a three-dimensional stereo-vision system to improve perception capabilities. The solution can be used for forward-facing, side vision or even as a 360° perception system. Mono2Stereo enhances the performance of existing cameras, providing 3D perception as opposed to 2D, resulting in better distance accuracy, detection of any obstacle, and more robust active safety features, all without requiring new or additional hardware.
Foresight will also present the latest developments to its proprietary ScaleCam solution. ScaleCam enables the separation of stereo cameras, allowing flexible placement of cameras on the vehicle, increasing the distance between the cameras, and, as a result, extending obstacle detection range with greater accuracy up to several hundred meters.
"The year 2022 saw significant strategic developments for Foresight, as several vehicle manufacturers and Tier One automotive suppliers engaged in proof of concept (POC) projects to evaluate the Company's 3D stereoscopic solutions to enhance their existing ADAS systems," said Haim Siboni, chief executive officer at Foresight. "CES 2023 will give us a chance to showcase our unique technological advances, demonstrating how our software-based solution can benefit the automotive industry."
Interested parties are encouraged to contact Foresight to schedule a demo.
Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX) is a technology company developing smart multi-spectral vision software solutions and cellular-based applications. Through the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, Foresight Automotive Ltd., Foresight Changzhou Automotive Ltd. and Eye-Net Mobile Ltd., Foresight develops both "in-line-of-sight" vision systems and "beyond-line-of-sight" accident-prevention solutions.
Foresight's vision solutions include modules of automatic calibration and dense three-dimensional (3D) point cloud that can be applied to different markets such as automotive, defense, autonomous vehicles and heavy industrial equipment. Eye-Net Mobile's cellular-based solution suite provides real-time pre-collision alerts to enhance road safety and situational awareness for all road users in the urban mobility environment by incorporating cutting-edge AI technology and advanced analytics.

With the growing complexity of the business environment, how can one read the market trend, adapt to changes with technological innovations, and thus find a way out? CHINAPLAS 2019, a technology-oriented and innovation-driven trade fair, provides an international platform for showcasing and exchanging advanced technology. The show has a large display of innovative solutions featuring cutting-edge materials, machines, and technology, spotlighting customized, green, functional and intelligent manufacturing with reduced cost and improved efficiency, which helps packaging enterprises stand out.
Compared to Europe, the US, Japan, and other countries, China is a late starter in the packaging industry, which, however, has grown to a fairly large-scale industry over the past few decades. And thanks to China's 40 years of reform and opening-up, the income and living standard of people in the country have improved significantly. As a result, the market has a rising demand for technology that helps deal with small and customized orders in a precise, quick and flexible manner, and brands are going through substantial upgrades with unprecedented frequency. The importance of packaging to products is growing exponentially.
● With "consumption upgrade" and the rapid growth of the young population, consumers look for aesthetically pleasing, environmentally friendly and healthy products of better quality which can fit their needs. Experts from different fields, such as world-leading suppliers of green materials, major manufacturers of the flexible packaging industry and product brands will be invited to the forum "Innovative Development of Packaging Materials under the New Consumption Trend" to explore how innovative development of functional packaging materials can respond to the new consumption trend.
● The "2019 Flexible Plastic Packaging Technology Seminar (Guangzhou)" provides a platform for policy experts, technical experts of leading enterprises and representatives of end users to share about policies, new materials, new processes, and new equipment, serving as a bridge between the demand side and the supply side of technology.
● The "Plastics Recycling & Circular Economy Conference and Showcase" will be held in Guangzhou on May 20, 2019 (a day before the opening of CHINAPLAS) with the themes of "Material Science for Sustainability", "Recycling Technology" and "Environmental Packaging", focusing on issues which participants in the industry are concerned with.
CHINAPLAS, now on a par with K Show in Germany, will return to the China Import and Export Fair Complex, Pazhou, Guangzhou and run from May 21 to May 24, 2019. The show will focus on "Smart Manufacturing", "Innovative Materials", "Green & Circular Solutions" to effectively address the exact need of high-end downstream buyers, presenting a high-quality and high-standard extravaganza of the plastics and rubber industries with an exhibition space of more than 250,000 square meters. The show will gather together more than 3,500 leading exhibitors from all over the world, in which more than 1,800 of them are related to the packaging industry, such as BASF, Dow Chemical, NatureWorks LLC, Milliken, LOTTE Chemical, HEXPOL TPE, Hubei Guanghe Biotech, ARBURG, ENGEL, Haitian, Yizumi, Akei, Tech-long Packaging Machinery, Totani, Han King, Jinming, Kurz, Brückner, Aoki, HP, ShaanxiBeiren, and SACMI, introducing plastics machines, materials and technical solutions to buyers from around the world.
It is expected that CHINAPLAS 2019 will attract more than 180,000 professional visitors from 150 countries and regions. The show has attracted a lot of well-known brands and enterprises, such as Nestlé, Jianlibao Group, Fujian Dali Group, Procter & Gamble, Colgate, Mentholatum, Amcor, Bemis Company, and Essel Propack etc.

U.S. House of Representatives Acts To Codify Registration Exemption for M&A Brokers
By SLS | December 10, 2017
On December 7, 2017, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the "Small Business Mergers, Acquisitions, Sales and Brokerage Simplification Act of 2017 (H.R. 477)." The bipartisan bill passed the House by a vote of 426-0.
The bill seeks to exempt certain brokers who facilitate the merger or acquisition of small businesses, also known as M&A brokers, from SEC registration under the broker registration provisions in Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. M&A brokers have already enjoyed de facto exempt status from registration under Section 15(b) pursuant to a SEC No Action letter from 2014, but the new Act goes one step further in seeking to provide a codified exemption.
The bill contains a plethora of exceptions and restrictions on the conduct of M&A brokers in order to satisfy the exemption, including disqualification provisions for "bad actors." The Act defines "M&A Broker" as:
any broker engaged in the business of effecting securities transactions solely in connection with the transfer of ownership of an eligible privately held company, through the purchase, sale, exchange, issuance, repurchase, or redemption of, or a business combination involving, securities or assets of the eligible privately held company, if the broker reasonably believes that—
upon consummation of the transaction, any person acquiring securities or assets of the eligible privately held company, acting alone or in concert, will control and, directly or indirectly, will be active in the management of the eligible privately held company or the business conducted with the assets of the eligible privately held company; and
if any person is offered securities in exchange for securities or assets of the eligible privately held company, such person will, prior to becoming legally bound to consummate the transaction, receive or have reasonable access to the most recent fiscal year-end financial statements of the issuer of the securities as customarily prepared by the management of the issuer in the normal course of operations and, if the financial statements of the issuer are audited, reviewed, or compiled, any related statement by the independent accountant, a balance sheet dated not more than 120 days before the date of the offer, and information pertaining to the management, business, results of operations for the period covered by the foregoing financial statements, and material loss contingencies of the issuer.
The bill defines an "eligible private company" as one (i) without a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act and (ii) has gross revenues under $250 million or EBITDA of less than $25 million in the year preceding that in which the M&A broker's services are first used. The bill would also:
Require an M&A broker that represents both the seller and buyer to provide them with written disclosures and obtain consent to that conflict of interest;
Prohibit M&A brokers from using the exemption to raise capital, rather than transfer ownership of small businesses; and
Prohibit shell companies from using the exemption.

The property is located in a site boxed in by neighbouring houses in Neyagawa, a densely developed residential area of Osaka, Japan.
The narrow site was responsible for the lack of natural light and dampness in the previous house. Setting the new structure back from the surrounding properties would have allowed in more natural light, but this type of design would appear alien to the neighbourhood; thus the architects sought a design that would intentionally maintain the surrounding urban density. The solution was to build out as close as possible to the neighbouring houses, tracing the silhouette of the previous structure, but to also carve out small gardens on three sides of the new one. The breezes that pass down the gaps between the houses enter these concave gardens, flowing into the interior along with natural light. A similar hollow on the fourth side of the house (the street side) contains the entrance.
The frontage of this house is about twice as long as that of its neighbours, but because the hollow divides the façade into two sections, it fits in with the scale of the surrounding houses. The four indentations divide the 120m2 total floor area of the interior into zones that serve different functions. They are connected by a centrally located main room with a double-height ceiling and a perforated expanded-metal floor on the upper level. This allows soft light to enter the space from four directions, creating a bright and comfortable living environment that adjusts well in the old neighbourhood.

NEW YORK, NY, August 09, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ — Recently the adventurous pair flew Ethiopian Airlines from Nairobi, Kenya to Bangkok, Thailand via the airline's hub in Addis Ababa. Onboard and at the airport, Ethiopian Airlines surpassed their every expectation. Here is an account of their journey.
"We check in with Ethiopian Airlines with no hassles and we head to TAV Primeclass Lounge. I had been hoping for a relaxed lunch but seeing we had confused our flight times, we had a relaxed breakfast and a good coffee instead as we waited for our flight.
Soon it was time to go, and we were not holding great hopes that this flight would be any different than other African Airlines – how wrong we were. Here's why!
As we boarded the flight I looked around in delight.
I loved the traditional Ethiopian attires worn by the airline's air hostesses. These attires look and feel very African. Being served by these air hostesses made me feel like I was travelling 'with Africa'. It removed the gloom from my face since I felt sad leaving Kenya after an extended visit. This was so nice since I could keep staring at the uniforms and recalling the memories I have made in Africa. To me, the green colour of the uniform represented Africa's rich evergreen vegetation while the sunflowers reminded me of the beauty that Africa exhibits through its amazing wildlife and people. I knew that this was not just an Ethiopian experience but an experience of Africa as a whole.
Most African countries are said to be third world countries or developing countries. They lack modern technologies and services. At least this is what most visitors think of Africa but Ethiopian Airlines proves them to be wrong – very wrong!
While some aspects of this are true, I believe that the continent is making and has continued to make great strides towards modernity. When you walk towards the Ethiopian airline, you tend to feel like you are walking into the future of Africa.
The airline has bought modern aeroplanes that rival those used by other international airlines from first world countries. In fact, our plane was brand new! I think more than anything this was the most pleasant surprise to us. Really lovely, and with a tasteful interior design theme, plus with all the modern facilities that we required for a relaxed flight.
Whilst some might say the meal served by this airline is similar to any other food served on other airlines, I felt differently – like they were inspired by an African culture. I felt this especially as I was served by the flight attendants who had beautiful African smiles.
By travelling with this airline I came to realise something that I would like to say is very amazing.
I realised that every meal, regardless of its country of origin, tasted more like it was an African recipe just because of the African mood that had already been set in the plane by the staff.
I just loved that and ate every meal like I was eating an African cuisine, even if the meal was not African.
There is something that is so unique among passengers travelling on this airline. I lay more reference to those exiting the continent to Asia and other parts of the world since I felt like they were very much African based on the way they dressed and acted. They had a piece of Africa with them that they desired to take away with them. Fortunately, they managed to take it with them since some had African sandals, backpacks and even dresses.

Coronavirus: Businesses will sacrifice efficiency for resilience, warns expert
Tommy Hilton, Al Arabiya English Thursday 30 April 2020
The global economy is set to radically shift as businesses move to prioritize resilience to supply shocks at the cost of efficiency due to the coronavirus pandemic threatening the supply of raw materials, warned a senior expert at the University of Pennsylvania.
The coronavirus pandemic is set to cause the worst global recession in nearly a century, according to the IMF, as governments move to combat the spread of the virus by shuttering businesses and telling people to stay home, triggering disastrous economic fallout.
Mohamed El-Erian – Senior Global Fellow, Lauder Institute and Practice Professor at The Wharton School – agreed with the IMF's dire warning, adding that the "post-crisis landscape is going to look very different."
In an interview hosted by The Wharton School, El-Erian explored some of the major changes the world could face in this new post-crisis landscape.
"We're going to emerge [from] this with much greater entanglement of the government and the private sector. Lots of industries are going to be bailed out, under what conditions we don't know as yet," he said.
In response to the sudden shock caused by the pandemic, governments across the world have abandoned any form of fiscal restraint and authorized unprecedented injections of spending into the economy to protect jobs.
Discussions of bailouts for major companies, especially in hard-hit sectors like aviation, have already begun.
For El-Erian, a major change will be a decrease in efficiency, as both companies and individuals value security and resilience over more efficient but less secure supply chains. His comments play into speculation that the coronavirus could dramatically alter globalized supply chains, as the pandemic highlights their weaknesses, and countries and businesses look inward to try and insulate themselves from similar global crashes in the future.
"There's going to be a lot more debt in society, people are likely to put resilience in front of efficiency," he explained. "That's particularly true for companies. They've learned a lesson now, that it really doesn't matter: When your supply chain is completely globalized, it may be efficient, it may be cost effective - but it's not resilient," he added.

Morrisburg Woman Pleads Guilty to Three Counts of Animal Cruelty
April 16, 2015 16:25 ET | Source: Ontario SPCA
MORRISBURG, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 16, 2015) - On March 23, 2015, Susanne Donaldson of Morrisburg, Ontario, pleaded guilty to three counts of animal cruelty under the Ontario SPCA Act.
The charges included:
Causing distress to an animal
Permitting distress to an animal
Failing to provide veterinary medical attention
On September 3, 2014, the Ontario SPCA received a call concerning a sick dog and very young puppies. An Ontario SPCA Investigator arrived at the Morrisburg address and was met by the owner Ms. Donaldson, who explained she had just returned from an animal hospital where her female dog had been euthanized. Ms. Donaldson explained that her 3-year-old Boxer had given birth to 11 puppies five days earlier, and had not been eating or drinking for the past several days.
Ms. Donaldson stated that the veterinarian had explained that her dog had a retained placenta and was in very poor condition. Of the 11 puppies, only seven were still alive. Three were stillborn and one died on Sunday according to Ms. Donaldson.
The remaining seven puppies were foul smelling with open and swollen wounds on their tails from elastics Ms. Donaldson had put on them several days earlier in an attempt to amputate the tails. Ms. Donaldson voluntarily surrendered the puppies to the Ontario SPCA. The deceased female Boxer was found to be in poor physical condition and was emaciated.
The puppies were taken to a veterinary hospital, examined and provided with the care they required. Over the next several days, the puppies received 24-hour care in a foster home, including frequent veterinary care, however the puppies failed to thrive and unfortunately died.
Susanne Donaldson was sentenced with a $500.00 fine, placed on probation for two years, and was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $120.68. Ms. Donaldson was also prohibited from owning animals for five years. Ontario SPCA officers were granted access to her property to ensure compliance with the prohibition order.
"There is no excuse to let an animal go without proper veterinary medical attention," says Steve Toy, Senior Inspector. "To report cruelty please call 310-SPCA or email your concern to cruelty@ospca.on.ca."
Ontario SPCA and Humane Society:
Protecting animals since 1873, Ontario SPCA is Ontario's Animal Welfare organization. A registered charity comprised of over 50 Communities.
Since 1919, when Ontario's first Animal Welfare legislation was proclaimed, the Ontario SPCA, with the help of its Communities, has been entrusted to maintain and enforce Animal Welfare legislation. The Act provides Ontario SPCA Agents and Inspectors with police powers to do so.
Ontario SPCA provides leadership in animal welfare innovations including introducing high-volume spay/neuter services to Ontario and opening the Provincial Education and Animal Centre.

A hot-shot quarterback has enrolled early and is on campus, as the University of Wyoming football program announced the signing of Levi Williams Monday.
Williams is 6-5 and 215-pounds. He played his high school football at Smithson Valley High School in Canyon Lake, TX just north of the San Antonio area.
Wyoming beat out the likes of Houston, Baylor, Oklahoma State, and TCU for Williams, who is rated a three-star recruit by Rivals, 247 Sports, and ESPN.
In a release from the University of Wyoming, head coach Craig Bohl was very complimentary of the Cowboys' newest player.
"We are excited that Levi (Williams) is on our campus starting this semester. He was part of an excellent high school program, and I've known his high school coach for many years. He played in a very competitive league. Levi has a strong arm and good athleticism. I think he has an excellent value system to be able to come in and be the type of quarterback we are looking for here at Wyoming."
During his senior season, Williams was named First Team All-District 26-6A. He was Second Team All-San Antonio area. Class 6A is the top classification in Texas High School football. Last fall Williams threw for 3,239 yards and 32 touchdowns. He ran for 1,230 yards and 16 more scores. That's 4,469 yards of total offense and 48 TD's responsible for.
Williams also received Academic All-District honors twice in his high school career. He was team captain his senior season and coached by Larry Hill at Smithson Valley High School. Williams also ran track.
UW also announced that wide receiver Devin Jennings from Houston, TX, who signed last month enrolled early for the spring semester. He's from Channelview High School in Houston, TX. Jennings was chosen First Team All-District 21-6A.
Williams becomes the 19th member of the 2019 recruiting class. The previous 18 signed in December. The next signing date is February 6.

Adam Holmes & The Embers + Baskery
PLEASE NOTE: This event will be taking place at our alternative home for the evening:
THE LEXINGTON, 96-98 Pentonville Road, London, N1 9JB
ADAM HOLMES & THE EMBERS
27-year-old Edinburgh-born singer/songwriter Adam Holmes is one of the brightest rising stars on the UK roots music scene, with influences from either side of the Atlantic mixing traditional and contemporary folk with his own brand of soul and Americana.
Twice nominated for BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, his first two albums were also nominated for Scottish Album of the Year in 2014 and 2017, and there is much anticipation as to whether he can make it three in a row this year with third album Midnight Milk, which was released in September 2017.
His first album, Heirs and Graces, was produced by John Wood (producer of all Nick Drake's albums and John Martyn's iconic Solid Air album) and mastered by Simon Heyworth (co-producer of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells) and second album, Brighter Still, features two-time BRIT award winner Eddi Reader on backing vocals throughout.
Latest album Midnight Milk was recorded in one room in his Edinburgh flat, but came complete with full brass section, an eighteen voice choir and a widescreen folk/soul/electronica production, which was influenced by a 2016 collaboration he was involved in with Adrian Utley of Portishead, Dominic Aitchison of Mogwai and Martin Green of Lau.
Live, he and his band the Embers combine the rhythm and blues, country and folk music textures of classic artists such as The Band, Tom Petty and The Heartbeakers and Ryan Adams and The Cardinals with their own hint of Scotland.
They have featured widely on live sessions for BBC Radio 2 and Radio 3, BBC Scotland, Edith Bowman's BBC Scotland Quay Sessions show and Virgin Radio, amongst many others, and are regulars on the UK and European festival and touring circuit, having shared bills with the likes of Laura Marling, Van Morrison, Richard Thompson, Jason Isbell, The Avett Brothers, Sturgill Simpson and Chvrches amongst many others.
BASKERY
The three sisters can't recall when or why they started playing, the music's always just been there. In their late teens, the sisters joined forces with their dad, who for decades was a one man band playing old blues and country tunes for a living.
This foundation of classic "roots music and Americana" settled in their hearts, but also awoke the urge of breaking the rules of traditional music. Baskery is a band built on what three people can do together and it's all about turning the music on its head, blending the straightforwardness of punk with the subtlety of singer/ songwriting.
The first album, "Fall Among Thieves" (2008) was recorded in Stockholm, co-produced by Lasse Mårtén (Pink, 'Peter, Bjorn and John', Kelly Clarkson). "New Friends" (2011) the follow up, the band referred to it as the "gypsy album" since it was mainly tracked on the road in various hotel rooms and band apartments, then mixed in Berlin by Blackpete (Depeche Mode, Joe Jackson, Peter Fox). As a contrast to the first two albums which took several months to make, the third one "Little Wild Life" (2013) was recorded during ten days in an old dance studio converted to a studio in former east Berlin, co-produced by Matt Wignall (Cold War Kids, J. Roddy Walston).
All three albums received great acclaim by the press and are released in numerous countries. The releases in combination with relentless touring have given the band a reputation as one of the music scene's most noticeable live acts.
In 2012 the Bondesson sisters founded their own production and publishing company, Mother Tarantula / Spiderling and have produced and released two albums and one live DVD. Their projects are supported by the Swedish art council which aim is to preserve unique art and music. In both 2011 and 2013 the sisters received individual awards for their songwriting skills by Swedish composer's society STIM.
In early 2014 the band started working with Kobalt Music Publishing and have recently collaborated with high-profile songwriters such as Billy Steinberg (Madonna, The Bangles, (Cyndi Lauper), Joe Henry (John Denver) and Jimmy Harry (Madonna, Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears).
Since the very beginning of Baskery the sisters have guarded their independence but when approached by Dan McCarroll (President and A&R) at Warner Music, they felt intrigued to break their indie tradition and make their next record on a major label. In August 2014 they signed a world wide recording deal with Warner Bros Music (Los Angeles). Baskery is one of few Swedish acts to get signed directly to a US major record company.
Baskery has successfully toured all over the world, performing at festivals such as Glastonbury, Shrewsbury Folk Festival, SXSW (US), Colours of Ostrava (CZ), Portland Waterfront Blues Festival (US), California World Fest (US), Four Corners Folk Festival, (US), Winnipeg Folk Festival ( CA), Calgary Folk Festival (CA), Woodford Folk Festival (AUS), Peace and Love (SE), Storsjöyran (SWE), Lowlands (NL), Azkena Rock (ES), Bergen Fest (NOR), Toender (DK).
In 2015 the band toured in Europe and North America, performing with legendary artist Robbie Williams. The girls have toured with Gary Clark Jr, and Brandi Carlile , earning critical acclaim from Q magazine, Mojo magazine,  Uncut magazine, and many more. The band will continue to tour throughout the end of 2016 through 2017, dotting Europe and North America with performances of their already legacy-laden career.
2017 was a busy year with multiple trips to the US. The band performed at festivals like Bonnaroo, Newport Folk Festival, Arroyo Seco, UtopiaFest and Bottlerock alongside artists
like Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alabama Shakes, Dr John, Mumford and Sons, The Meters, The Avett Brothers and more. They were invited to perform at the renowned live radio show Etown in Boulder, sharing the bill with Fruition out of Portland. New music was recorded at their longtime friend Ray Kennedy's studio in Nashville, where they plan to return in 2018.


Gov. Bruce Rauner talks about the state's financial woes recently to students at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
(AP) — Gov. Bruce Rauner has a chance to fill in the details on his plans for fixing the state's many problems when he addresses the General Assembly on Wednesday.
Many see his first State of the State speech as the true start of a new legislative session that officially began in January. It has essentially been on hold as the Democratic-controlled Legislature waits for the new Republican governor to detail his policy priorities.
Rauner, a first-time elected official who became Illinois' first Republican governor in more than a decade, will have to work with the Democrats, who hold supermajorities in both legislative chambers.
It will play out as the state faces a multibillion-dollar budget hole. Some programs already are running out of money for this year or are very close to it.
Rauner has been previewing — some might say practicing — his speech in stops across the state, where he's echoed the themes he repeated on the campaign trail: Illinois is broke and its government broken.
But so far, he's spoken only broadly about solutions. And some legislators, taxpayers and others have been growing impatient.
Rauner's team says the long-awaited specifics are coming Wednesday, and in a Feb. 18 speech in which he will lay out his budget blueprint.
If that's true, it will be the first concrete legislative proposals from an administration that has promised to "shake up" Springfield.
If it doesn't happen, expect some howling from critics who say it's past time to move from campaign mode to governing.
While Rauner's budget address isn't expected for another two weeks, the state's fiscal challenges will be a major topic Wednesday and the backdrop against which all policies will play out.
Look for the governor to continue criticizing how much money the state spends on employee payroll and benefits, pensions and Medicaid. He's also likely to hint at changes on the revenue side, such as his proposal to broaden the tax base by imposing a tax on some services.
Watch for signs of influence from first lady Diana Rauner, who leads the Ounce of Prevention Fund, an early childhood education not-for-profit group.
She told The Associated Press last month that one of her primary roles as first lady will be to advocate for vulnerable children and families, and to help her husband understand the struggles social service agencies and families are facing.
Will the governor, who's pledged to make Illinois both "competitive and compassionate," touch on any of those topics?
High on Rauner's agenda is making Illinois more business-friendly and creating jobs.
He said during his inaugural speech last month that he'd ask the Legislature to work with him on a "comprehensive jobs and economic package that will get Illinois working again."
That's likely to include lowering the cost of workers' compensation and unemployment insurance, and addressing a legal climate Rauner says is a magnet for trial lawyers.
Rauner also has signaled he'll take on government "bureaucracy," whether in education or by eliminating or consolidating some of Illinois' roughly 7,000 units of government.
Rauner has amped up his criticism of government unions in recent weeks, saying workers are overpaid and their benefits too generous. On Monday, he indicated he wants to end unions' right to collectively bargain over wages and benefits. He also wants to ban them from negotiating with elected officials whose campaigns received union donations.
Some see it as a curious line of attack for Rauner, particularly this early. He risks angering legislators on both sides of the aisle who have good relationships with organized labor. Unions say he's vilifying workers, just as his administration has to begin negotiating a new contract with the state's largest union.
In the spirit of bipartisanship he so often touts, Rauner could throw out a few proposals he knows Democrats want.
Senate President John Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, said in his inaugural speech that he wants to rethink which offenders serve time in prison, and what those sentences look like. That's one potentially cost-saving area that Rauner also has said he'd like to explore.
Rauner could also make good on offers to raise Illinois' minimum wage — a key Democratic priority — if legislators also pass some of the pro-business changes he's seeking.
