In 1995, Scotweb was the first to offer Welsh kilts and other Welsh goods online. Today, many imitate us but none match our standards in products and service.
We never supply the low-quality imported copies sold elsewhere. We offer only true locally-produced kilts and tartans (and much more!). For a Welsh kilt or gift that will become an heirloom, trust Scotweb.
Scotweb offers the world's largest choice of Welsh kilts and tartans. We produce only top quality Welsh kilts made locally to the highest traditional standards. All our Welsh kilts can be purchased as single garments or from a range of complete Welsh kilt outfits for every occasion.
We make Welsh kilts in both traditional and casual styles. Our Welsh kilts can be fully hand-stitched or semi-machined as you prefer. And we provide a choice of high quality budget kilts, classic traditional kilts, or luxury bespoke Welsh kilts with prestige finishing.
We give you an unrivalled choice of Welsh tartans and other materials. Our unique tartan finder lists every Welsh tartan recorded by the Scottish Tartans Authority, almost all available to purchase. We can even weave your own Welsh tartan design! Or if you prefer your kilt in tweed, denim, leather, or any other fabric, we'll do it all to the same exceptional standards.
There's only one type of kilt you will not finds here: the badly-made garments from cheap-labour economies using dubious fabrics that our competitors pretend are genuine. We are proud to protect our true heritage, and will never sell you kilts or accessories that betray our authentic traditions.
Either Welsh kilt style can be made in almost any tartan, or indeed in any suitable fabric. Welsh kilt wearers have Welsh family tartans in all the most numerous Welsh surnames. We also offer a unique embroidered kilt carrying the Welsh dragon within its check. You can also choose a tartan for your kilt that you like for almost any reasons. Or choose from tweeds, plain colours, or many other materials. Tartans are normally in pure new wool, but kilts can also be made in hypoallergenic tartans.
Our Welsh kilts are available in a range of finishes. Even our budget range is made-to-order by our own expert kiltmakers, to higher standards than most competitors' 'best quality' kilts. Our classic Balmoral range is of exceptional quality, with expert attention to detail that is second-to-none. And our exclusive bespoke Manley Richardson range offers a degree of luxury finish and personalised specification that is available from no other producer.
Scotweb offers the world's finest choice of Welsh gifts. We have a huge range of gifts and homewares from Wales or in traditional Welsh styles. For example in our jewellery section we have many Welsh watches for both gents and ladies, Welsh rings for both men and women, Welsh earrings or Welsh brooches for ladies, Welsh cufflinks for men, and many other types of Welsh jewelry.
Our Irish homewares include an excellent range of traditional hand-made Welsh lovespoons. Plus Welsh vases, trinket boxes, perfume bottles, and picture frames decorated in Welsh styles.

Living… la vida isla, or "the island life." The third child of the locally prominent Rayburn family, Kevin was born and raised in the Florida Keys, and as his dad says, his "love of the sea and life and 3 o clock cocktail kept him here." Short sleeve button ups are all he's ever known.
Profession… marina worker. Kevin refurbishes boats for a living, down at the Indian Key Channel Marina.
Interests… partying. Kevin may be deep into his 30s, but he still loves nothing better than drinking himself into a joyous stupor and getting down on the sandy dance floor that is the beach.
Relationship Status… in a failing marriage. Belle thinks he's "too social, too loud, drinks too much, not ready to be a father," and she's not wrong. Divorce does not happen in the Rayburn family, though, and he's yet to break the news of their struggled to his parents. And so he still maintains normal outward appearances with Belle, nuzzling up to her with outward displays of affection, before going back to the boatyard to sleep in his office.
Challenge… handling the return of his eldest brother Danny, the family outcast. Danny says he wants to help out with the family hotel business, turn over a new leaf, reform his debauched ways and enter a new chapter in his life. Kevin, however, is heavily suspicious of his brother's motives, and he is not afraid to vocalize his opinion that Danny should not be allowed back into the fold.
Personality… gregarious, hot-headed, and affectionate. Kevin is an easy guy to like, a classic "cool uncle" type who greets everyone with a big hug. He has a lot of vitality and is always placing himself in the middle of the action, wherever it may lie. But there are two sides to that coin, as he has a terrible temper and is two seconds away from flying off the handle at any given moment. Like his brothers John and Danny, he has a lot of pent-up rage – and sometimes it's not especially pent-up.

This happy moose was munching on berries near mid-town Anchorage as I was driving by. Thankfully, I had one of my big cameras on-hand and was able to take advantage of the moment. Hoar frost was falling on this moose's head as it pulled the fruit from the tree. Great timing and opportunity. I love this place called Alaska.

Oped: G20: Are you ready to save the planet?
By Mayor Adler
As Mayor of Austin, I have committed myself to fight for a better future for our children, by protecting our environment. Austin has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and recently we expanded our municipal utility's use of wind and solar power. Every day we take active strides to limit our emissions and reduce our carbon footprint. Today, I have decided to commit with 40 other mayors around the world to ask the G20 heads of state to make sure we don't give up on our planet, and that they commit to maintain the Paris Agreement. I need your support, as citizen of Austin and of the world to make the world leaders hear our call for a strong response to climate change.
Please sign this petition!
As mayors of many of the world's great cities, and on behalf of the hundreds of millions of citizens that we represent, we urge you — G20 Heads of State — to deliver on your commitments to tackle climate change, one of the world's most pressing issues.
Given the US intention to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, the resolve of the other 19 leaders at the upcoming G20 Summit to safeguard the future of our planet is more important than ever. Local leaders around the world stand together with you, redoubling our commitment to bold action on climate change, working with business leaders and citizens worldwide. We are inspired by the courage of more than 300 Climate Mayors from cities across the United States who have committed in the past weeks to adopt, honor and uphold the Paris Agreement. Hundreds of US cities, universities, and businesses have declared "We Are Still In" and committed to pursue ambitious climate goals, and to ensure that the US remains a global leader in reducing emissions.
We must all work together to save the planet. As mayors and businesses bring forward plans for sustainable infrastructure in our cities, national governments should ensure that financing is available for cities from international climate funds and development banks.
You have the privilege of leadership at a unique moment in history to help realize the potential of the Paris Agreement. The cities of the world and their citizens have a shared vision for a just and sustainable future – one that will make our communities cleaner, healthier, happier and more prosperous. Together with business leaders we have already decided on a climate-safe future of opportunity, optimism and innovation — there is no alternative.
As C40 mayors we will continue to lead on climate action in the most important cities of the world, standing for our people, the planet and global prosperity. Today, we seek to strengthen a pragmatic and positive alliance with you, in the service of our citizens. We look forward to working with you. Don't miss this opportunity to deliver new hope for tomorrow.

Home Page Persons Historical Figures Gawain Lanval Sir Gawain research paper
Last Updated 20 Apr 2022
Lanval Sir Gawain research paper
Category Gawain
The legendary works of Lanval and Sir Gawain provides a positive human state of loyalty and honor that will truly boost the persona of these two individuals. Different portrayal of roles which will lead to a channel of similarities and differences was the focal point of scrutinizing these two masterpieces. In addition, upon exploring these two different works considering the positive and / or negative human state, attitude and characteristics, it is imperative to determine the strengths of Lanval and Sir Gawain by using these criteria.
The story of Lanval reverses the typical conventions in romance as the maiden rescues the knight instead of the usual approach that men took the first move. In the event wherein Lanval walk away going nowhere, he looses his mind with and unfortunately his horse did not make to serve him and no other way but Lanval let go of his horse Apparently there were ladies along the way who came across with whom presents great attitude of accommodating him. As this two ladies approach Lanval, there was a prior intention of leading Lanval to the queen. In Marie de France's Lanval "These two ladies came straightaway / To the place where Lanval lay / Lanval, mannerly, well-bred / quickly scrambled to his feet / The ladies spoke, first to greet / Him, then with a message they said / Lord Lanval, the lady we owe duty / A lady of valor, wisdom and beauty / It's for you our lady has sent / Us.
Now come along with us, do! / Safely we'll conduct you through / Not far – look, you can see her tent!" (6.1-12). Despite the eagerness of the queen to establish a discreet relationship, Lanval in return cannot take the pleasure being offered to him, thus, he neglected to pursue such tempting emotion. "For her kiss, her embrace, her touch / Little he cares about other's delight / When he can't enjoy his own! / The queen saw him go off alone / And she headed straight for that knight / She sat near him, she called him over / she spoke as her heart would move her / Lanval, I really so respect you / I really care, I really love / And you can have all my love / Tell me what you want! I expect you / Must be happy at what I say / I'm offering to go all the way / Lady, he said, let me go! / I never thought to love you so! / I've served the king for many a day / His faith in me I won't betray / Not for you, your love, or anything / Would I ever act against my king!" (13.1-19).

It came to the point that the queen became desperate for the reason that Lanval still hold his emotion and stay in being loyal. Out of which the queen claims that Lanval maltreated her and even come to the point that Lanval was put in trial because of the anger of Queen Guinevere. "The King had just come home from the wood / His day's hunting had been good / He went into the Queen's chamber / She cried out, loud, when first she / Saw him, fell at his feet, begged mercy / Accused Lanval--he had shamed her! / He'd asked her for a love-affair / She'd said no, with this result / He'd offered her an ugly insult / He boasted of a friend so fair / So full of pride, breeding, honor / That the chambermaid who waited on her / The lowliest, poorest of the poor / Compared to the Queen, was worth far more / The King was angry, to the core / His oath against Lanval he swore / In court he'd prove he was no liar / Or else he'd hang, or die by fire / The King left the Queen's bedroom / Called three of his barons to him / Sent them to bring in Lanval" (15.1-21).
On the other hand, the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knights epitomize the attitude of having a word of honor but unfortunately in the case of Sir Gawain, he did not make it up to the end. The game is that the challenger gets a chance to hit the Green Knight but in a year and a day, he must go to the Green Knight's chapel and then the Green Knight will test him and if he fails the tests, the Green Knight will hit him. Sir Gawain being the youngest knight in the round table unfolds the challenge of battling with the Green Knight and continue with the pact that goes with the confront which was after a year of the fight the conqueror will go to Green Chapel to get a blow in return if he does not meet the ordeal.
As Sir Gawain was on his way to the said place after a year, he was able to meet Bertilak. "Sir, if you be Gawain, it seems a great wonder / A man so well-meaning, and mannerly disposed / And cannot act in company as courtesy bids" (lines 1126 – 1997). As Sir Gawain reached the place, challenges were headed for him, which in fact was very symbolic in nature. Temptations occurs which in turn he get hold of a girdle. Bertilak which happens to be the Green Knight also put him into the test as they come to the exchange of winnings. Unfortunately, Sir Gawain fails to be loyal and honest as he fails to utter the girdle that he has.
Both these stories present exciting analytical relationship taking into account honor and courtly love. It is of great pride of the character's portrayal on how their outlook will affect their decisions up to the end which will make them a hero of their own. Compare and contrast these two poems is the focal point of this paper. In addition, at the end of this paper, identifying the similarities and differences of both works was essential in the analysis of the subject matter.
Compare and Contrast: Lanval & Sir Gawain
Loyalty was clearly illustrated in both characters. It is of great value to take note how this certain attitude transform their individuality. Lanval promises not to reveal the identity of his mistress. Even when Queen Guinevere attempts to seduce Lanval, he refuses temptation because of her loyalty to his lover – the fairy maiden. Evidently, the foundation of such loyalty was rooted in the character of his lover. On the other hand, Sir Gawain takes the challenge for King Arthur in response to his loyalty to his master. He also honors the pact of one year and one day and took the chance of fighting with beast in order to render the pact of their duel. Sir Gawain has the will to sacrifice in order to hold on his word to the point that he almost experience starving just to keep his promise.
In lieu of their loyalty, they established within themselves the honor which gives them the pride. Lanval embrace his word up to the end even if he goes through a trial, he faces it with pride and honor. He did not endure the accusations of the queen and faces its challenges. On the other note, Sir Gawain seize his honor as he dwell on the challenges of the concordat up to the end. He did not even open a single door to have second thought to pursue the battle with the Green Knight and thus, give him ultimate honor.
As regards to feelings, both the character of Lanval and Sir Gawain experienced to have intense love – the one for a certain maiden and the latter was a love for the self. It could be different in criteria but both give them the strength to live. The pursuance of ones love ultimately gives them the drive to stand rigid and hold on what would make them tough. Definitely, as the character of Lanval and Sir Gawain defeats temptation, this love boosts their grip on the road to being strong.
It brightens the lives of Lanval and Sir Gawain as their powerful love bestow them hope. Lanval even if he's on trial and in any moment will destroy the life that he has, he consistently hold onto the hope that the truth will prevail – whatever accusations of the queen towards Lanval, it will not persist because it just present an opaque scenario of events which did not occur in the first place. In Marie de France's Lanval "On the day set for the trial / The barons have traveled many a mile / To be there; the Queen's there, and the King / And now Lanval's hostages bring / Him in. They're so sorry for him / A hundred knights or more, I guess / Would have done anything for him / So he could walk free away from the case / So wrongful are the accusations!" (20.1-9).
The people will stand for Lanval as they witness the unreasonable accusations that queen bequeath on Lanval. Parallel to this, as to the case of Sir Gawain, as he faces the challenge of the Green Knight, his will sustains his hope. The more he pursues the pact, the more it will give him peace of mind. Thus holding on the aspiration of victory gives him hope.
Guilt also took part in the characters stance and make plausible comparison. As regard to Lanval's encounter with the queen, even if he was very much aware that the personality of the queen might be ruin, Lanval still insist with his determination to stand to what he believes is right – and that is to be loyal with his lover. As to the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, in consequence of Sir Gawain's encounter with challenges in Green's Chapel, the host gives him kisses in return for his success, however he did not follow to what they agreed prior the battle, he did not give all of his winnings which gives him the guilt and thus consistently wear the girdle around his arm as a sign of his culpability.
The act of sincerity comes into account as we weigh the guilt which was instill in the hearts and minds of the characters. Both Lanval and Sir Gawain were sincere in their craft. With no hesitance, they face the consequences of their chosen field. Fear was the major hindrance to their established characters.
Both personas disregard pleasure and pain. The act of cynicism was present in Lanval and Sir Gawain. Courtly love was taken into account in these two characters. Lanval epitomized his sincerity and love for his fairy maiden as he kept surpassing the barriers of their relationships. On the other hand the host going to the Green Chapel touches the heart of Sir Gawain in one way or the other as he sealed himself in exchanging his winnings with the Green Knight specifically with the girdle that he got from the host. Sense of mortality was present as it has a feeling of commonality in both presented poems. These nearly pass the same life cycle as its main character being portrayed by Lanval and Sir Gawain almost has the same channel – a sense of preciousness of time and life.
Good things happen to good people. Lanval broke his promise, and Sir Gawain broke his promise. But nothing bad happened to either. They learned from their mistake and they were regretful. Both authors show that after all, humans will be humans, and humans are capable of mistakes, no matter how honorable their past has been.
Both the female characters are not loyal to their husbands. Neither is Queen Guinevere or the host's wife. Both try to seduce another man and attempt to sleep with other man. Men are more loyal than women in these two works.
On another note, there were also opposing instances in these poems. The works differ in loyalty. Sir Gawain lied to protect his life while Lanval lied to protect his mistress' honor. Furthermore, as regards to the sense of guilt, Lanval did not felt a single guilt at the end as he chose to stand firm on what he believe was right. Lanval just ride off to Avalon with his lover – as if it was okay for him to break his code of silence. On the Contrary, there was a feeling of guilt in Sir Gawain since he was not honest in exchanging his winnings and in consequence of his remorse; he wears his girdle in his arms.
Lanval and Sir Gawain show the interconnection of their stories as well as their temperaments. In one way or the other, there was resemblance with their stories and it presents a good basis of comparison.

Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a congenital disorder caused by entrapment of fetal parts in fibrous amniotic bands while in utero. Various descriptive synonyms have been adopted for the condition among which are "ADAM complex," "amniotic band sequence," "congenital constriction bands," and "pseudoainhum," [1] It occurs in 1:1200 to 1:15000 live births. [1] It accounts for 178 in 10,000 miscarriages [1] and 1 in 70 still births. [2] The most common anomalies are found in the limbs, with hand and finger anomalies occurring in up to 80% of cases, being about twice as common as accompanying foot deformities. [3] Unilateral club foot can be seen in 30% of foot anomalies, whereas bilateral involvement occurs in up to 20%. [3] Up to 50% of cases may have other congenital anomalies including orofacial clefts, talipes, and spinal deformities. [4]
More severe cases can involve the abdomen (limb-body wall complex) and calvarium (encephalocele). [2] Involvement of internal viscus is said to be very rare except in case of abdominal-wall or abdominothoracic-wall defects. [5] Prognosis and treatment depend on the location and severity of the constricting bands [1],[6] but early detection using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could provide opportunity for prenatal correction and improved outcome.
A case is here reported to emphasize the importance of comprehensive antenatal evaluation and the ignorance and superstition expressed by the mother.
A 6-year-old boy with congenital orofacial cleft was brought to our clinic. He was the fourth in a family of five children; all other children were said to be normal. The father and mother were non-consanguineous artisans of low socioeconomic class. Maternal age at conception was 24 years.
The mother gave a history of febrile illness during the first trimester of pregnancy. She denied using any illicit drug but only medications prescribed at the antenatal clinic. She claimed that the gestational age was protracted until 52 weeks but delivery was per vaginal and uneventful. The mother believed that her protracted pregnancy was because the child was tied in her womb by her enemies and that this was responsible for the deformities.
The patient was examined by a team of specialists: Maxillofacial surgeon, pedodontist, and pediatric cardiologist. He was found with left unilateral incomplete cleft of the primary palate [Figure 1] and bifid uvula. Other congenital anomalies [Figure 2] detected were constriction rings on the ring finger and missing proximal phalange of the middle finger on the right hand, complex, incomplete syndactyly of the right foot, a clubbed left foot, and constriction ring around the lower third of the left leg. Clinical and echocardiographic examinations confirmed functionally and structurally normal heart; the atrial and ventricular dimensions were within normal limits and the interatrial and interventricular septa were intact. Review and examination of other systems was unremarkable. A clinical diagnosis of ABS was made.
Figure 1: Patient with left unilateral incomplete cleft of the primary palate
Figure 2: Other associated deformities: (a) Syndactyl, (b) Constriction ring on left leg and club foot, (c) Proximal constriction of right fourth finger
ABS comprises a set of congenital malformations ranging from minor constriction rings and lymphedema of the digits to complex bizarre multiple congenital anomalies that are attributed to amniotic bands that stick, entangle, and disrupt fetal parts. [7],[8] It occurs in 1:1200 to 1:15000 live births with no sex predilection. Family history seldom reveals any direct inheritance pattern since the syndrome occurs in no particular association with known genetic or chromosomal disorders and there is no recurrence in siblings or children of affected adults. However, there are some reports of ABS among families with collagen disorders and some other connective tissue diseases such as Ehler-Danlos syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, and epidermolysis bullosa congenital. [9] The patient here presented is the fourth among five siblings and there is no occurrence in other siblings, the parents also denied any known history of connective tissue diseases in their families.
The exact etiology of the ABS is not known; early rupture of the amniotic membrane is the most accepted view. [5],[8] However, genetic, vascular, familial, and mesodermal disruptions have been proposed as etiological factors. [10] Prenatal risk factors associated include prematurity (<37 weeks), low birth weight (<2500 g), maternal illness (during pregnancy), maternal hemorrhage/trauma, maternal drug exposure such as methadone. [1] Other factors are oophorectomy during pregnancy, [11] intrauterine contraceptive device, [12] and amniocentesis. [13] Most of these were excluded in the present case. Although there was a positive history of maternal illness during pregnancy, the nature and severity of illness could not be elicited but might probably be a mild illness as the mother denied taking any other drug besides those prescribed at the antenatal clinic. Prematurity of less than 37 weeks rather than protracted gestation was associated with ABS. In the present case, there was a history of prolonged gestation of up to 52 weeks which the mother superstitiously believed was masterminded by her enemies through diabolical means and was responsible for the birth defects in her child. Though, there was no objective evidence to confirm the history of prolonged gestation.
The clinical features of ABS is multiple and of variable severity. Distal ring constrictions, limb deformities, and intrauterine amputations are the most common findings. [7] Other abnormalities found are syndactyly of the fingers and toes, progressive lymphedema, clubfoot, clubhands, stunted growth of fingers and toes and limb length discrepancy, [7] cleft lip and palate. Less common are pseudarthrosis, metatarsus adductus, peripheral nerve palsy, dystrophic nails, postnatal gangrene, dislocated hip, visceral body wall malformations, [8] eccentric craniofacial synostosis defects, and skin-tubed pedicles. [2] The internal organs are rarely affected, therefore it was no surprise that the heart of the patient was normal in structure and function. On the contrary, Karaman et al. [5] reported internal organ deformity in a 10-day-old subject who had a severe form of ABS with brain anomalies. Similarly, Halder [14] reported abnormal anatomy of the heart and multiple internal malformations in stillborn fetuses.
Fetal death associated with amniotic band strangulation of the umbilical cord has also been reported. [14] Considering the risk therefore, it is judicious that every pregnant woman, irrespective of the socieconomic status, undergo serial ultrasonographic examinations especially with 3D ultrasound scanner so as to detect and possibly minimize the extent and severity of the defect that may accompany the syndrome through prenatal or early postnatal surgical intervention. In this case, the mother presented no report of any ultrasound done during her antenatal care.
A case of amniotic band syndrome involving orofacial cleft deformity has been reported in a child from an indigent background. The combination of ignorance, superstitious belief, and poverty had kept the child from proper medical evaluation and prompt corrective intervention. This case thus underscores the importance of community health education and properly supervised antenatal care and referral systems for pregnant women. The authors are of the opinion that such undertakings could debrief the locales of traditional superstitions and encourage utility of the facilities and expertise that are now available to mitigate the severity of congenital birth defects.

After seven years, Tanya Brooks' brain is still missing.
It's being kept as evidence, either in police storage or the medical examiner's freezer — her sister, Vanessa Brooks, doesn't know for sure.
What she does know is she can't lay her sister to rest until she can bury her whole body, as is Mi'kmaq tradition.
Tanya, a 36-year-old Mi'kmaq mother of five, was murdered in Halifax on May 10, 2009. Her case is still unsolved, although people who knew her have about how she died. Police say they need people who know what happened to come forward.
Her murder is part of a national crisis in Canada — one that Patty Hajdu, the federal minister for the status of women, today called "a tragedy and a disgrace" that affects all Canadians.
More than 1,200 Indigenous women and girls — or as many as 4,000 by some estimates — have been murdered or gone missing since 1980. On Wednesday, the Canadian government launched an inquiry into their deaths, and pledged $11.67 million in funding over three years for police liaison units to give families information about their loved ones' cases.
Related: Critics say Canada's inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women will be toothless
During pre-inquiry consultations across the country, relatives of the dead and disappeared women said they wanted to know what happened to their loved ones — but police won't tell them information about the cases. Police contend that releasing any information could compromise investigations, and in some cases the family members themselves are suspects.
While Indigenous organizations welcomed the inquiry, critics have also slammed terms of reference that don't focus on the role of police in protecting these women and investigating their cases vigorously enough.
Over the years, Vanessa has called the police investigators on the case, and she's called the medical examiner's office, but she says she's getting the runaround. The police department says it's not their jurisdiction, and the medical examiner's office either passes the buck or doesn't call her back. She's had no luck with victim's services, either.

"I'm just asking for basic information about how to lay my sister to rest after seven years," Vanessa tells VICE News. "That shouldn't be top secret."
To make matters worse, Tanya and Vanessa's mother passed away in September. She told Vanessa her last wish was for Tanya to be buried.
Now, the urns holding their ashes sit side by side in a funeral home. Vanessa can't bury either of them until Tanya's brain is returned to her.
Vanessa doesn't believe the new funding will change a thing. When she asks police for information about the case, they can't tell her much because they don't want to compromise the investigation.
"Anytime I ask, it's always the same answer: We have no leads, or we can't tell you."
Funding for a new liaison won't change anything, she believes.
"What is this liaison, this hypothetical person, what more are they going to be able to tell us?"
"Actions speak louder than words," she said. "Right now it's just a lot of words."
It's a similar story in Winnipeg, where every day after work and on weekends Kyle Kematch speeds onto the Red River in a boat, searching for missing people.

He's the co-founder of a group of volunteers called Drag the Red who use makeshift gear to drag the bottom of the river, hoping a bone or body part will snag the line, and they can pull it up. Families with missing relatives contact Kyle out of desperation.
Five years ago, Kyle's sister Amber disappeared.
Amber Rose Marie Guiboche was a 20-year-old outgoing party girl who loved meeting new people, Kyle said. The two siblings first bonded when they lost their mother and sister. Their sister overdosed, and the same year their mother jumped off one of the bridges over the Red River.
On November 10, 2010, Amber was spotted climbing into a red pickup truck in a low-income Winnipeg neighborhood. That was the last time anyone saw her.
Kyle has been pushing police for information about his sister's case, but they won't tell him much.
What they did tell him is that she was a sex worker — a fact he worries will make people think she deserved to die.
"It's not even been proven, but that's what they'll say. When they say that, people look and they say, well she deserves it."
He doesn't believe the new funding will shed more light on her case.
"They say that they're giving $12 million towards giving information to the families. I believe we're going to be in the same exact spot — they're just going to label my sister as a prostitute. And that's all we're going to keep hearing. And $12 million just to hear that is just a waste of money."

Kyle says police can't tell him information about the case for the same reasons Vanessa cited: they don't want to compromise the case, and they have no idea what happened to her.
The last update on Amber's case was in August 2014, when police released a of a suspect.
"We're going on six years now and they're still at the same spot. [Police liaisons] are not really going to do any good for my family. I'll just continue to keep searching for my sister and everyone else who is missing," said Kyle, who thinks the money is better spent on beefing up police resources.
Meanwhile, Vanessa oscillates between hope and despair for her sister's case.
"My light is not any brighter," she said of the inquiry announcement. "This is not something I can say: 'Oh my god, I'm so happy after everything.' It's just not there."
Added Kyle of the inquiry's final report: "Nothing's going to change, it's just going to end up on a shelf."

Investors Raise Bets on Surging Commodities as Oil Tops $70
Investors are betting there's more to come from commodities after a surge in industrial metals and oil prices.
Assets invested in commodity-linked securities climbed to a four-year high of $311 billion after increasing 1 percent in December, according to Barclays Plc. Net inflows of $3.4 billion outweighed losses of $300 million last month, signaling bullishness.
"Rising manufacturing confidence in many regions continues to spur commodity demand growth," Warren Russell, a New York-based analyst at Barclays, said in a note to clients. "Strong economic activity is set to continue in 2018."
The return of global growth, manufacturing output and supply constraints have whetted investor appetites at a time when stock and bond valuations are high. Brent crude topped $70 a barrel in London on Thursday for the first time in three years, just days after zinc touched a 10-year intraday high. Copper's turn was late last month, when it reached levels last seen almost four years ago.
Still, the big risk for commodities is, as ever, the world's second-largest economy, Russell said. "China's expected slowdown should mean that recent strength in oil and copper is unlikely to last."

Beatles enjoy their place in history on 50th anniversary of split
When Paul McCartney suggested The Beatles were done, the future did not seem so rosy

For many, it was the day the music died, and was the end of an era.
On this day, 50 years ago, few fans felt any sense of hope on hearing the somewhat ambiguous announcement that The Beatles were going their separate ways.
But now, a lifetime from those dark days, the full genius of the rock band formed in Liverpool can be appreciated as the most influential of all time, having inspired musicians of all genres, spread creativity across the entertainment industry, and given rise to a tourist industry in their home city.
When Paul McCartney released an interview on April 10, 1970, in which he suggested that The Beatles were done making records together, the future did not seem so rosy.
Just before the release of his first solo album, McCartney stopped short of announcing the formal break-up of the band in a Q&A.
The Beatles are still celebrated and loved today.
But, when asked if he could see a time when his prolific songwriting partnership with fellow Beatle John Lennon would restart, his blunt reply - "no" - spoke for itself.
"McCartney Breaks Off With Beatles" was the resulting New York Times' headline.
Still the best-selling artists
The acrimonious split of the Fab Four - McCartney, Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr - left fans inconsolable, according to Philip Norman, who has written several books on The Beatles, including the official 2016 Paul McCartney biography.
"A whole generation had grown up with The Beatles - they had a Beatles album for every important stage in their life," Norman said. "A lot of people thought it's just dreadful... it's just a bleak future without them. It truly did feel that way."

They remain the best-selling music artists of all time, with enduring hits from "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "Hey Jude" to "Yesterday" and "Let It Be" familiar to at least four generations of fans.
A few days ago, the music industry body revealed the most popular musical years for every decade of the rock and roll era, by analysing all the music streamed in the UK in 2019.
In the top10 songs of the 1960s, which will appear in the BPI yearbook: All About The Music 2020 out later this month, Here Comes the Sun (1969) was at number one with 25.3 million streams, and Come Together at four with 12.5 million streams.
"They're not over," Norman contends. "They're still everywhere."
On this 50th anniversary, a new, previously unpublished photo has been discovered showing McCartney, Lennon and Harrison playing as The Quarrymen a year before they became The Beatles.
Mark Lewisohn, a band historian, told AFP: "The Beatles were said to have been the 20th century's greatest romance, but no one then could have foreseen that such an already phenomenal accomplishment would extend into the next century.
"Fifty years now after breaking up, The Beatles remain an artistic ultimate, leading creative people everywhere to the limitless playing field open to all."
In Liverpool, where a Beatles statue looks out on the Mersey, a tourist industry has grown up around the four superstars and the band's performances at the now-famous venue where their popularity began.
Fans ride in yellow submarine coaches through the city streets on their way to a re-modelled Cavern Club – the original was demolished – where they can sing the hits they still love.

Hi friends Thank you so much for all the appreciation you showered on my Sospeso Transparente Bouquet tutorial ..I was thrilled to know I had introduced a new craft to many of my readers! Sharing a simple side step card with an embossed "Thank you" and handmade paper roses.
Many of you liked the roses in the Decoupaged Stationary set and wanted me to share a tutorial so made another project with the same type of roses though they didn't turn out quite as beautiful even though both were made using the same technique -----well that's handmade isn't it...wows sometimes and is "so so" at other times!
Roses are one of the most difficult paper flowers to make and I have shared a couple of tutorials earlier on how to make roses with Punches [see thumbnails at end of this post]. The peach pink roses and buds in this card and all the roses in the projects below were made with the Spellbinders Rose creations die.
Decoupaged Pen Stand - check out the link for tips on how to decoupage on plastic.
Handmade Photoframe - a DIY photoframe made by recycling a desktop calendar and adding lots of paper roses!
"Hot glue" Embellishment tutorial - this post also has a tutorial on how to make your own "Faux Porcelain" embellishments at home using hot glue!
Gabriella Pollaco has a beautiful tutorial on how to make roses with the Spellbinders die....but I have struggled in making the conical center as well as shaping the petals of the paper rose as my hands are not as nimble as hers!!
Sharing a method I sort of invented and started using recently which makes "rose making" so much easier!
Ear buds [Q tips] -- yes you read that right!! In fact I got the idea for this rose after seeing these funny looking ear buds in a local supermarket as it looked just like a rosebud! If you don't get these you can fluff up a regular ear bud and try but if you see these funny shaped ones in your chemist shop or local supermarket...grab them with both hands!!
Paper flowers- though I have used the Spellbinders rose creations die, you can use any die cut, punched or hand cut flower [here is a hand-cut flower tutorial] which can wrap your ear bud within it! I used the 2nd and 3rd largest flowers from the die set as marked by the blue arrows.
Ink pads- optional- if you want to make 2 tones flowers or ink the edges of your flowers like I did here.You can paint your flowers too but using ink pads is easier and faster.
Glue - I strongly recommend using a hot glue gun unless you have tons of patience !
I captured photos of all the steps in making the paper rose and since there were quite a few photos have made a video slideshow of the Paper rose tutorial - Its less than 2 mins so do have a look at it to see all the steps in detail but here are the key points.
To make a Rosebud you just need a single flower and a ear- bud! -- Yes its that easy!
Inking : This step is completely optional- you can skip it and dive into the rose making!
Why this rose making tutorial so easy is you are using the ear-bud to make the center of your rosebud or rose ! Wrap the petals of your flower around the ear bud and glue as you go! Because the ear bud has a stick, holding the flower while hot gluing it is easy and less likely to give you burns from the hot glue!
You can add a calyx to your rose bud and wrap floral tape or green paper around the ear bud stem to make a floral bouquet for your cards or scrapbooks.
If you want a fuller rosebud ..make it with 2 small flowers.
If you want to make the rose.....insert the 2 flower- bud into the larger flower and glue the petals around it!
You can add more flowers to your rose to make a fuller rose!
Other options to use instead of ear buds : bead, cotton ball, Styrofoam/thermocol ball, scrunched up paper ball or clay ball in the center.
I hope you enjoyed my easy rose making tutorial .Do tell me how it is.
Here are links to more tutorials to make your own Paper Roses using Punches.
Hi friends many of you may be already familiar with the beautiful craft of Sospeso Transparente but if you are hearing about it for the first time...Sospeso Transparente is a 3D Volume Decoupage craft invented and patented by Italian artist Monica Allegro .It basically involves heating and shaping flat designs into gorgeous 3 dimensional beauties!
These Sunflowers are my first attempt at Sospeso Transparente and I had so much fun arranging the them in all sorts of places in my house- the picture above is of our Passion fruit Vine adorned with Sospeso Transparente Sunflowers!
Sospeso Transparente is one of the most magical crafts I have come across...it is indeed sheer magic to be able to convert a printed film of Sospeso Transparente into a magnificent 3 dimensional object!
Sharing a mini tutorial on how to make the domed center of the sunflower. You can use the technique not only on Sospeso Transparente flowers but also on felt, foam and paper flowers.
Coat domes with glue :Put your clay dome on a plastic sheet/ lid etc[ so that your flower center wont stick to it!] and generously pour or paint the dome with glue.
Pour glitter onto your clay dome: Get a good covering and shake off the excess after giving enough time to dry-- DONT BE Impatient and touch your flower center before its fully dry or you'll end up with sticky glitter all over your fingers!
Again this mini tutorial is not just for Sospeso Trasparente flowers but can be adapted to make a bouquet of felt, foam or paper flowers.
Clay -to make flower calyxes- you can use the soft types of children's clay in the market [like Amos, Super clay etc]which dries lightweight without cracking or more expensive air drying clay or if you are from India Mseal like I have used here.
If you are using Mseal : Mix in a little green oil color into your mseal dough while you are mixing it [ like I did for my Altered Bottle art] .Also another important point while working with mseal is you have to work fast to take advantage of the sticky nature of the mseal.
Slightly flatten the top of your "clay calyx"
Here is the link to another Handmade bouquet tutorial variation with the flower calyx made by quilling .
I hope you liked my little "Bouquet of Sunshine" to warm your day this season! Do tell me how it is.
Hi friends Thank you so much for the supportive comments about my blog tutorial post being copied.....it was such a depressing incident but I think I have to jump right back into sharing and not let a handful of unsavory people affect me as there are so many wonderful people who drop in on my blog ,who take time to write encouraging comments and who mail me thanking me for the crafty tutorials.
My regular readers know that I love to make my own flowers and believe me roses are the toughest handmade flowers to make! Recently I experimented at simplifying rose flower making and could make these paper roses!
Here is the link to making your own handmade roses: Easy Paper Rose tutorial ! And sharing a few tips on how to decoupage plastic material.
This was the plastic pen-stand I altered by decoupaging.
Decoupage glue : Mod Podge Matte - I prefer Mod podge to watered down Fevicol[PVA glue] as it has the perfect consistency and stickiness property!
If you are a beginner at decoupaging the best starter project is a wooden object and MDF is the ideal material to Mod Podge! Attempt plastic only after you have got a hang of decoupaging techniques.The reason why plastic is difficult to decoupage is because its surface is non porous and your paper can keep sliding off!
Sandpaper it : To help decoupage an extremely smooth plastic surface you can actually sand it with sandpaper to roughen it up a bit.I didn't have to do it in this project as my pen-stand was not too smooth .
Be very very patient - give enough time for your paper to stick to the base-coat of Mod podge before applying your top coat or your paper will just lift up and make you frustrated!
A little bit of my plastic does show through but I think it adds to the charm of the final decoupaged object in this case!

Q: the parentheses in str_match change the match I am trying to extract the content between two slashed in a url, and for this I am using stringr function str_match.
library(stringr)
test <- "http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/2014/04/08/97001-20140408FILWWW00162-ump-cope-defend-sa-gestion-financiere.php"

I manage to extract the full string:
str_match(test, "http://.*?/.*?/")

     [,1]
[1,] "http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/"

But when I add the parentheses to extract the match within the string the result changes unexpectedly:
str_match(test, "http://.*?/(.*?)/")

     [,1]                                      [,2]
[1,] "http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/2014/" "2014"

Must be a matter of how the parentheses are interpreted in regex. Any clue?

A: Maybe if you change (.*?) by ([^/]*?) it will work.

*

*. matches any character

*[^/] matches all characters that are not a /
I'm not used to stringr, but that is what i'd do in php with preg_ functions.
Hope it helps
