Groundhog handler Ben Hughes watches Punxsutawney Phil, who did not see his shadow predicting an early spring.
After this week's weather, I'm sure that everyone is looking forward to spring. With Punxsutawney Phil not seeing his shadow this morning, spring is supposed to come early, right?
Flipping through the history books, it seems Punxsutawney Phil has spotted his shadow 99 out of 114 times. That would mean that there is rarely an early spring. However, according to the Stormfax Almanac, the groundhog is only right 39 percent of the time — a failing grade in school terms.
Automated 2-wheeler…will it be the car of the future?
Many futuristic electronics showed up at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, including the EN-V "electric networked vehicles" by General Motors. The EN-V is about half the size of current mini-electric cars, and it's built on Segway technology, so it can pivot in place and park without any turn radius. GM says five or six of them can fit in one standard U.S.-size parking space. It's bristling with GPS antennas and motion sensors, so it can autonomously sense possible collisions and avoid them on its own. Since it can drive itself, it can be retrieved it by telling it to come to you. For those who live in congested areas, this would be a great way to get around.
An Englishman named John Calcott Horsley helped to popularize the tradition of sending Christmas greeting cards when he began producing small cards featuring festive scenes and a pre-written holiday greeting in the late 1830s. Newly efficient post offices in England and the United States made the cards nearly overnight sensations.
Tonight marks the first lunar eclipse that falls on the winter solstice in 372 years. Those of us in North Americans should have the best seats in the house for tonight's event, which reaches its climax at 1:41 a.m. CT Tuesday when Earth's shadow covers every bit of the moon's disk. For more than an hour, the moon should glow sunset-red, thanks to the light refracted by the edge of Earth's atmosphere.
In case of cloudy skies, there's always the Internet. NASA is planning to stream live Web video of the moon as seen from Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. The embedded video coverage will be accompanied by a Web chat with NASA astronomer Mitzi Adams from midnight to 4 a.m. CT Tuesday.
Exposure to indoor pollution is associated with allergies, severe asthma, hospitalizations for cardiovascular and respiratory disease, and even heart attacks.
Having a clean home doesn't keep the toxins and pollutants away. According to the EPA, pollution in the home is often 2 to 5 times higher than it is outdoors. "The air in your house contains pollen, mold, and ozone that leach in from the outdoors, as well as pet dander and pollutants from household cleaning products," says Ted Myatt, ScD, a senior scientist at the consulting firm Environmental Health and Engineering, Inc.
Come winter, weatherproofing combined with heated, dry air can boost indoor pollution levels even higher by sealing in airborne toxins and lowering levels of humidity. The combination of the two can pose an even greater risk. "Exposure to indoor pollution is associated with allergies, severe asthma, hospitalizations for cardiovascular and respiratory disease, and even heart attacks," Dr. Myatt says.
Considering we spend about 60% of our lives in our homes, it's time to clear the air. Check-out this article to find out what you can do help reduce the toxins and pollutants in the home.
Scientists from the Academia Sinica and the National Cheng Kung University in Taipei and Tainan have implanted glowing gold nanoparticles, known as bio light emitting diodes, or bio LEDs, inside the leaves of a plant. These nanoparticles will hopefully one day replace electricity powered street lights with biologically powered light that removes CO2 from the atmosphere 24 hours a days.
The gold nanoparticles are the key to turning a material that normal absorbs light into one that emits it. When shorter wavelengths of light hit the gold nanoparticles, they get excited and start to glow violet. That violet light strikes the nearby chlorophyll molecules, excites them, and the chlorophyll then produces red light.

Се́кі Такака́дзу (; 1642 (?) — 5 грудня 1708) — японський математик періоду Едо. Один із засновників японської математичної традиції. Сучасник Лейбніца та Ньютона. Відкрив ряд теорем і впровадив поняття, які невдовзі стали відомими на Заході: числа Бернуллі (1712), результант і детермінант (1683). Автор багатьох математичних праць і складних задач. Прозиваний послідовниками «наймудрішим математиком» (算聖). Псевдонім — Дзіютей (自由亭).

Короткі відомості
Секі Такакадзу народився близько 1642 року в самурайській родині. Його батько, Утіяма Наґаакі, служив офіцером Імператорського радника Токуґави Таданаґи та охоронцем 3-го сьоґуна Токуґави Ієміцу. Родинне гніздо Утіям знаходилося в містечку Фудзіока префектури Кодзуке, на території сучасної префектури Ґумма. В юності Такакадзу віддали названим сином до самурайського роду Секі, у зв'язку з чим він змінив своє прізвище.

У 20-річному віці Такакадзу поступив на службу інспектором бухгалтерії в провінції Кай, до Токуґави Цунасіґе та його сина Цунатойо, що згодом став 6-м сьоґуном Токуґавою Ієнобу. 1704 року, після призначення Цунатойо спадкоємцем 5-го сьоґуна Токуґави Цунайосі, Такакадзу перетворився на прямого васала сьоґунату і разом зі своїм сюзереном перебрався до замку Едо. Колишнього інспектора призначили на посаду молодшого голови сьоґунських комор і надали річний дохід у 250 мішків рису разом із 10 слугами. Проте 1706 року Такакадзу був змушений полишити посаду через хворобу, від якої помер бездітним 5 грудня 1708 року. Поховали його в усипальниці роду Утіяма, монастирі Дзьоріндзі, на території сучасного кварталу Бентен району Сіндзюку в Токіо.

Точних відомостей про те, де Секі Такакадзу вчився математиці немає. За переказами він опанував точні науки самотужки, вивчаючи підручник з математики «Записи про безмежну вічність» (1627) авторства Йосіди Міцуйосі. До 30 років Такакадзу одне за одним видавав якісні посібники з математики, такі як «Задачі з математики» чи «Рахівниця», які свідчать, що він часто звертався до «Записів». Ймовірно, Такакадзу також вивчав старі китайські роботи з арифметики, які були доступні в Японії. Його першим виходом на математичну арену було видання 1674 року монографії «Витончена математика», в якій він дав відповідь на задачу, поставлену в роботі «Стародавні і сучасні способи обчислювання» Саваґуті Кадзуюкі.

FEARGAL Keenan defeated club-mate Paul Currie to impressively win the Open Championship title as the curtain fell on another fine season of great action in the Frank Hughes Bookmakers East Tyrone Snooker League.
Keenan laid down a serious marker of his intentions when he dominated the opening frame at the Mitchells Club on Thursday night, Currie only managing to score seven points.
Currie hit back strongly by winning a tight second frame, but that was as good as things got for him as the meticulous Kildress player remain calm and composed to convincingly secure the next two frames to be a worthy champion.
That concluded a good finals week for the Cookstown club, Chris Maye having won the Division One crown 24 hours earlier by defeating McVeigh's stalwart Jerome McVeigh in a thriller.
Finbar Hughes took the Division Two crown by beating McKees team-mate Oliver O'Neill, while Raymond Glendinning is the Division Three kingpin after victory over Desi Stinson of Aughnacloy.
There were two victories for the County Armagh club, Max Keady's Stevie McParland outpointing Finbar Hughes in the Seniors Handicap final with John Maguire and Mark Nugent defeating Aughnacloy's Johnny Beggs and Peter Tierney.
Colm Kelly of McKees was too good for McParland in the Seniors Open decider, with the Seniors doubles won by Danny McVeigh and John McArdle at the expense of Tony Corry and Seamus Mitchell.
The on-table action is now over, but the season is not yet concluded because the focus now turns to the annual dinner and presentation night on Friday April 26 at The Gables Restaurant in Carland, with a couple of hundred trophies to be handed out along with all the other usual accolades.

Since The Witcher have spread the interest for the saga written by Andrzej Sapkowski all over the world, more and more English readers want to enjoy the stories in this language.
Fortunately, there are many members with creativity, talent, willingness to make us happy, and some of them are doing very well with the art of writing. More fortunately, these kind members have decided to share with us stories from Andrzej Sapkowski's books, translated in English, just to raise the appetite until the publishers give us the whole work.
I 'll put them together in this topic, because such love and devotion can't be unnoticed.
If i miss something, please, let me know.

Thanks Cassandra. I've bookmarked this.
Oh thank you! I had only found one of these.
I'm a bit confused; are some of those titles right? Because only two of them match up with the list of stories on the Wikia. Limits of the Possible might just be a mis-translation of The Bounds of Reason but which one's Times of Contempt? None of the titles listed on the wikia come even close to it.EDIT: Nevermind; just put Times of Contempt into the wikia's search and saw that's the title of the next full novel.
"Limits of the possible" and "A shard of ice" are two of the stories from the collection in Sword of Destiny (Miecz Przeznaczenia). "Times of Contempt" is the novel "Czas Pogardy".
Yeah, realised my mistake with Times - guess I was too focussed on finding fan-translations from Sword of Destiny.And I was sure about A Shard of Ice and The Eternal Fire (since their titles match the translations on the wikia) being from SoD, I was just wondering if Limits had just been translated differently to whoever did the wikia page.EDIT: Just to be sure; is Limit's original title "Granica możliwości"? If so, then it was just a difference in translation.
Granica możliwości fits the translation of Limits of the possible, but i don't know if the original title is exactly this (apparently it is), and i 'm a little bored to search it right now.
a golden dragon called Villentretenmerth?
It's not perfect, obviously. I've had to change the title because The Bounds of Reason, while far catchier, just didn't work in all contexts where the main theme is present. My version has had about 15 different titles and I now have Metaphysical Themes Fatigue.
I'm adding a link to all "The Sword of Destiny" short stories we manage to track. Now you can read it start to finish.
I've added some more to Chapter 2.
Changes are marked in red. Feel free to clean up the language a bit.
If no one else wants to, I'll finish off the chapter soon.
I can help with translating too. At the moment I have Something Ends, Something Begins and Times of Contempt at home (I also got Baptism by Fire but Im not reading it yet). I can help with translating any of them (seeing as Sword of Destiny is already translated), just tell me what you want me to do. Shall I help with Times of Contempt ?
You could start with chapter 5 of "Times of Contempt". (all the previous ones are done already or are being worked on at the moment). Right now Im still working with chapter 4.
Also there are translations available for "Something ends, something begins".
I personally dont intent to continue translating the follow-up books, from "Batpism of Fire" onwards (that would require me to start reading them at light-speed, and Im saving them for next year). But perhaps smbdy will.
My friend has all the books and I borrowed them so I can translate all of them if I have time. I will start translating Chapter 5 of Times of Contempt then once I finish reading it. Wont take long I promise . I will change some words though so it sounds better Also is swearing/curse words allowed ? Or should I replace them with "plow" ?
Id encourage you to translate the profanities just in the way Sapkowski uses them.
This is no PG-13 translation.
Started translating. Its going well so far. Should I wait for your Chapter 4 until I post mine ? Also, can I do Chapter 6 please ? I would really like to translate that later.
Here is a link for what I translated so far. Any (constructive) criticism is welcome.
Cassandra posted this thread before the forum breakdown... that must be it. Dont worry though. The link that I provided to GOG.com IS working plus you have all the 6 short-stories there.

The Return to Cannes: Takeaways from MIPIM 2022
Head of European Investments Christopher Mertlitz discusses the major themes emerging from one of real estate's biggest events
By: Christopher Mertlitz | Investments
Following a pandemic-induced hiatus, MIPIM, Europe's largest real estate event of the year, finally returned to the idyllic city of Cannes. More than 20,000 attendees eagerly came out to meet in-person and discuss the most prevalent topics and issues impacting the real estate sector. During my experience at the four-day event, the following major themes unsurprisingly dominated most of the conversations: rising interest rates and inflation, the conflict in Ukraine and ESG. Here's my take on how those may impact our business and the broader European real estate market.
Interest Rates and Inflation
Similar to the U.S., inflation in Europe is reaching highs not seen in several decades with euro area inflation hitting 5.8% in February, driven primarily by rising energy prices and supply chain challenges.
As a result of fast-rising inflation, central banks worldwide will likely pursue an increasingly hawkish strategy, bringing forward interest rate increases. All-equity buyers like W. P. Carey may be better positioned to execute on deals in this environment since they are not reliant on third-party debt financing. From a seller's perspective, the timing to pursue a sale-leaseback may have never been better – locking in a long-term rental rate now while cap rates remain low, and before interest rates begin to rise significantly.
We are incredibly saddened by the events unfolding in Ukraine and are committed to doing our part to support those in need. As of now, it's difficult to say how exactly the war will impact the real estate market but it will likely continue to stoke the flame of rising inflation globally due to economic disruptions which could further impact interest rates and borrowing costs. It's also possible that some companies may take a "wait and see" approach to investing in neighboring countries to Ukraine and Russia until there's more clarity on when the conflict will end.
Focus on ESG
ESG remained a prominent topic, particularly as regulatory and disclosure requirements continue to increase, forcing companies to define concrete, measurable goals. With the main theme of MIPIM being "driving urban change," there was certainly a lot of discussion surrounding how the real estate industry can tackle climate change and net zero emissions as well as ensuring sustainability of new developments.
At W. P. Carey, we are intensely focused on ESG. In 2021, we invested in several green buildings, including the acquisition of a 1.1-million-square-foot, BREEAM-certified logistics facility in the U.K., net leased to Jaguar Land Rover. We also issued our first green bond offering last year with $350 million of proceeds earmarked for green projects.
From an asset management perspective, we take a proactive approach to communicating with our tenants on sustainability projects that can reduce their environmental impact and reduce operating costs, such as solar panels and building efficiency retrofits. For example, we worked with our tenant Sonae MC in Portugal on the installation of a solar roof which was completed last year. We also worked with our tenant Nippon Express on the installation of a one-million-square-foot solar roof, which is now one of the largest solar rooftops in Europe. While we still have much progress to make, we are focused on reducing the carbon footprint of our portfolio and believe that green buildings are not only beneficial for the environment but can also have a significant business impact for W. P. Carey, including increasing property values, driving higher rents and attracting high-caliber tenants.

Former Grimm star David Giuntoli might be headed back to network television, except this time, he'd be at ABC. Giuntoli has been cast as one of the leads in a pilot for a potential ensemble drama called A Million Little Things. Giuntoli joins the drama in the role of Eddie, who is a music teacher/stay-at-home dad in a concept that sounds somewhat similar to NBC's This Is Us.
While ABC might welcome that comparison, A Million Little Things would prefer to be compared to the 80s film The Big Chill. The potential drama series centers on a group of friends intertwined in each other's lives who all realize they need to start living more when one of them dies unexpectedly. As mentioned, David Giuntoli will co-star as Eddie, a music teacher who loves being a stay-at-home-dad and is in a failing marriage. Following his friend's death, Eddie begins to wonder what his life would be like had he made different decisions, which will lead him to think back on his time as the frontman of a local band.
A Million Little Things hails from creator DJ Nash, who was also responsible for the short-lived NBC series Growing Up Fisher. Nash described the project as a drama that has elements of comedy, which indicates that this show will lean heavier on the drama than comedy. David Giuntoli is just one of the cast of eight friends, which will include four men and four women total. The project is somewhat personal for Nash; he stated back when the series was first ordered that the project is loosely based on his experience after the death of a friend.
David Giuntoli's casting is a strong way to start off the sizable ensemble lineup for A Million Little Things. The actor has been a hot commodity for new projects since the ending of Grimm. Although the actor was attached to a CBS pilot last year titled Misson Control that had a shot at becoming a series, the project did not become a series. Deadline reports that Giuntoli's been sought out by other networks for projects this pilot season, but ultimately landed at ABC. It sounds like a good fit for the actor given the series' serious This Is Us vibes, which will only mean great things for ABC should it go to series and find an audience. Giuntoli's casting is also great news for Grimm fans, who have been eagerly awaiting news on Giuntoli's next big move since the series was cancelled.
A Million Little Things is currently in pilot status at ABC, so no release date or series order has been announced at this time. For a list of shows set for release in 2018, head on over to our midseason premiere guide and see what's happening there.

First, the costs of renewable energy have plummeted, making them financially attractive on a wide-scale for the first time ever. For example, between 1977 and 2014, the price per watt of silicon photovoltaic cells has dropped from $76.67 to a mere thirty-six cents. Meanwhile, the cost of wind energy in the U.S. has dropped, on average, from 55 cents per kWh in 1980 to five cents per kWh at the end of 2012, resulting in unprecedented growth in both industries.
In 2012, as a part of the Environmental Studies curriculum at Northeastern University, I enrolled in a course called, 'Environment and Society' which delved into the environmental injustices experienced by under-resourced and minority populations throughout the world. Prior to taking this class, I was struggling to find a deep connection to my major. I always found Environmental Studies to be an interesting topic, but I never felt passionate about the subject. Little did I know that my entire perspective would change after taking this course. The environmental consequences and health disparities experienced by the effected populations, for reasons that could have been prevented, made me sick to my stomach. Throughout the semester, my desire to help this cause increased enormously. I had developed a purpose and started drawing out my future plans.
The following semester, I enrolled in the course, 'Sustainable Development.' This course led me to discover Dr. Daniel Nocera's invention, the 'Artificial Leaf,' a unique design of the hydrogen fuel cell for cleaner and cheaper energy production, inspired by the naturally occurring process in plants—photosynthesis. Not only was the engineering behind this design intriguing, but I also found Dr. Nocera's overall goal of mass-producing these devices in order to aid developing countries to be inspiring. However, understanding the exact mechanics behind this device proved to be challenging to a student of soft sciences. At this point of my undergraduate career, I started toying with the idea of going to grad school to study renewable energy systems in order to gain that deeper understanding that I so desired.

The Smart Studios Story: Documentary
The Smart Studios Story
Wendy Schneider, director
At this point, Butch Vig [Tape Op #11] and Smart Studios are the stuff of legend. From the album that destroyed music's status quo (Nirvana's Nevermind), to Smashing Pumpkin's Gish [#115], all the way back to fledgling '80s midwest bands, Smart Studios' Butch Vig and Steve Marker were at the center of a pivotal point in rock music. The story, which I will not recount in detail – you need to see this movie – has a familiar ring to it. It starts in a small town with a couple of friends. Butch gets fired from his hospital job for stealing scrubs. After beers in the pub, the friends decide (after recording elsewhere) that they could record themselves instead. Hard work, collaboration, and little regard for money ensue. Amazingly, eventually massive success follows. For as much as Butch and Steve talk about having no idea how to run a business, and their lack of a business model, it was very clear that they had a lot of passion and drive. Anyone that knows anything about anything will tell you that ingredients one and two for success in the music business are passion and drive. Beyond Butch, the bands, and Smart Studios, director Wendy Schneider [#21] tells a great story about how studios and record stores can be the epicenter of a music scene. Record stores were where you found out about new music, could find musicians to play with, and where people gathered. The scene in Madison, Wisconsin, was all about community. There is a ton of great archival footage of The Replacements, Tar Babies, Die Kreuzen, MDC, Killdozer, and of course Butch's old band, Spooner. Fans of music and studios in general will enjoy this documentary and find themselves longing for the sights, sounds, and smells of the record stores of their youth. That is if you were old enough to remember a world without iTunes, which is of course where you will find this film available for download.

Sister Esther met with the monastic council at 1:30 p.m., February 9, 2018, in the 2nd floor conference room. Members present were Sisters Maria Heppler, Elaine Fischer, Molly Brockwell, Susan Barber, Alberta Hermann, and Mary Elizabeth Schweiger. Sister Helen Mueting was present as secretary.
The meeting began with the Our Father.
The Corporation of Mount Saint Scholastica convened to approve a resolution authorizing the removal of Sisters Lou Whipple and Dorothy Wolters as Trustees of the Mount St. Scholastica, Inc. Money Purchase Plan and appointing Sisters Maria Heppler and Helen Mueting as their successors. Sister Mary Elizabeth Schweiger moved that the resolution be approved, and Sister Molly Brockwell seconded the motion. The resolution was approved by all corporation members.
At 2:00 p.m. Sister Rose Marie Stallbaulmer joined the council for a Zoom meeting with John Tortolani from BMT concerning John's working with us on an actuarial study. John had looked at the areas and questions we had sent him about a study. He felt that his company could do all the areas except for maybe development. His company usually looks at a 10 year time frame to study. They tend to work on one area to study every time they would come. They would probably spend two days on a new topic and one day on the old. He would envision monthly meetings after which he would send us a one page summary. He is also comfortable giving a power point summary to the community. Some homework he would need us to do is prioritize the areas we want covered and to give him more information on the time frame and how we want to approach the study. He could begin in early March with a preliminary meeting to find out our situation, ask questions, and get responses. He would come this first time at no cost to us except for his travel. He would spend two days with us. The council agreed that his coming in March would work. He will give us some dates for early March. After the study, the company would give us a detailed summary of what our financial situation is and lay out our situation and any tough decisions we may have to make. At the March community meeting, Sister Rose Marie will give a report on the company and the six areas we will study.
The council looked at the proposed agenda for the March community day. It was decided that we would pray at 8 that morning to allow a two hour time period for the culturality presentation and for a gratitude talk in the morning. The meeting will resume at 1:30 for Midday Praise followed by a gratitude talk by Sister Gabrielle Kocour. Then Sisters Alberta Herman and Maria Heppler will lead the discussion of the interim Visitation report. This would probably take one hour. Sister Rose Marie Stallbaumer would give an update on the actuarial study and there would be time for announcements. Sister Maria would inform the community about the regional LCWR meeting which will be held here from March 19-22.
The meeting adjourned at 4:05.


18-year-old Nguyen Thi Duyen has two sisters, Nguyen Thi Ouyen, 20 and Nguyen Thi Hien, 15. Despite their excellent grades, all three of them are seriously contemplating dropping out of school to find work to help with the family expenses.
Both their parents are rice farmers but their 39-year-old mother cannot work, as she suffers from heart disease and problems with her kidneys and liver. The family spends about $50 a month on her medical bills. Desperate to make ends meet, they have sold everything they own in the house and even borrowed about $2200 to foot the medical bills.
The family's income is nowhere near enough to sustain the mother's heavy medical bills, even though the Duyen and Hien are both on the Humanitarian Services for Children of Vietnam (HSCV) educational scholarship.
Their family has been receiving assistance from HSCV for the past 4 years, and it is because of the educational scholarships that the girls are able to continue studying. HSCV's Rice Distribution Programme also helps alleviate the family's financial burden.
Duyen is waiting for a sponsor so that she can continue her education through the Educational Post High School Scholarship while her sister Hien will continue benefit from the educational scholarship to finish her high school education. Without sponsorship the family will be unable to be a part of the Rice Distribution programme, and suffer more.
You can help to make sure that does not happen.
• The cost to sponsor a child for an Educational Post High School Scholarship is $400 per year.
• The cost to sponsor a child for an educational scholarship is $80 per year.


Competitions in April – Prints are closing soon!
Competitions in April – Prints will close Sunday, 14th April 2019, 11:00 PM.
Tonight the awesome duo delivered a wonderful presentation. We were taken into the depths of the ocean through the most incredible images and video. The audience was entertained and educated. The session generated a lot of questions.
We were exposed to a different level of photography. Not only must these photographers be able to heave heavy and expensive equipment around, they must be experienced divers, be able to read the weather, understand oceanography and marine biology before clicking the shutter button!
Underwater photography is an art in itself. It is no easy task.
I think we all came away with a healthy respect for these incredible people.
Thank you to the two Ians for your presentation. It was greatly appreciated.
Competitions in PSA InterClub Open Colour or Mono – round 4 are closing soon!
Competitions in PSA InterClub Open Colour or Mono – round 4 will close Friday, 12th April 2019, 11:00 PM.
The two Ians belong to our club and their presentation will take us to the magical world of sea creatures and how to capture their life and their environment. Underwater photography is one of the most difficult areas of photography to master. I am sure that you you will be viewing a lot of beautiful images.
These photographers, not only have to be competent in diving, they have to worry about lighting and maneuvering around their subjects, often using heavy equipment, and often trying to get perfect focus and depth of field on tiny subjects.

Actually, Cléo de 5 à 6:30. We'll cut to black before the last thirty minutes referenced in the title, leaving Cléo's fate open to both her interpretation and ours. Cléo de 5 à 7 is obsessed with time, both with the "real time" countdown appearing periodically as onscreen text, and the omnipresence of mortality, as Cléo awaits the results of a medical examination. Just as it is aware of time ticking away, Agnès Varda's film worships the present, leaving a lasting impression of not merely how precious minutes, a month, a decade can be, but how consciousness of the present can help carve out a path to happiness.
Opening with a visit to a fortune teller, the film presents a brief moment – a mere thirteen chapters – in Cléo Victoire's life. A prelude brings us up to speed: tarot cards appear to reveal that the unknown results of Cléo's cancer test will prove fatal ("I saw death," hisses the gypsy to her companion after convincing a tearful Cléo to leave without frightening the other customers). While the prediction weighs heavily on the exiting woman's mind, the film stock has switched from color to b&w, signaling other imminent changes in Cléo's life. As the fortune teller states, the revelation of the Death card can imply a transformation outside of the body; Varda's depiction of Cléo's journey embraces this interpretation, of a shift in the soul that will cause the woman to shed her superficial outlook.
In contrast to her subject's inability to gaze outward and engage with her surroundings, Varda's camera is continuously roving, always observing. The blur of fiction and reality would become a common theme in Varda's work, and much of Cléo de 5 à 7 is a vérité time capsule of 60s Parisian street life. The present-tense city captured in this imagery is in jarring opposition to Cléo's pampered lifestyle: a pop singer kept by her wealthy lover in an all-white, luxury flat complete with a swing and a bevy of kittens, the girl truly seems like a bird let loose from her gilded cage when she hits the gritty streets of Paris. For a time, she exudes only childish fear, her eyes seeing death in frog-swallowing street performers and shop windows cluttered with African masks. But these are signs of superstition, not necessarily omens for Cléo, as Varda provides signs of life intermingled with death.
Cléo's immersion into reality – her increasing interest in her surroundings, and in looking at herself as something more than an object of beauty – begins with the ceremonial removal of remnants of her former life: a wig, an unneeded fur hat, and even her stage name (she is really Florence, a gentle rebuttal to the dramatic flair of queenly Cléopatra). In her final chapters, she enters the Parc Montsouri and engages in conversation with a sweet soldier also awaiting fate (he is due for return dispatch to Algeria that evening). The brief interlude is tinged with romance but, more poignantly, it allows Cléo a chance to voice her fear, her doubts, and, when faced with the gravity of her situation, to finally connect.
Even within this brief moment of joy, the uncertainty of Cléo's future is hinted at in her final words: "I think I'm happy." There is slight doubt in that sentence, perhaps due to the vague answers from her doctor, and in her final gaze before the screen goes black it appears the that life – with all of its happiness and fear – has overwhelmed the young woman. Cléo's embrace of life may be an unsteady one, but unlike her discarded personae, she now remains open to possibility, and to herself.
