>lol – wow! It has taken me some time to connect with your sense of humor (and that's only because I've been short on time and humor lately!), but once I got it, WOW.

You're awesome. Thanks for the laugh.

Overhead Productions has just been awarded our PfCO (Permission for Commercial Operation) by the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
While it is our first PfCO, it isn't not our first permission, previously we held a PfAW (Permission for Aerial Work). In August of 2016 the CAA replaced the PfAW with the PfCO to bring it in line with the 2016 changes to the Air Navigation Order.
Along with our new permission, the Overhead Productions team are now able to offer a new service – Nighttime Operations. Previously our permission was limited to a window of 30 minutes after dawn, and 30 minutes before dusk, with our new permission we are now able to operate anytime during the day or night.
Attached is a copy of our permission from the CAA and our Operations Manual which was submitted to the CAA. Overhead Productions has taken the step of making its Operations Manual public in an attempt to bring transparency to the industry.

Those walking near, and working inside, the Cherry Street office spaces of the Burlington Town Center recently may have noticed the weird plastic-y material swathing the building's exterior.
According to Matthew Chabot, general manager of BTC, that's a mostly blank plastic scrim that, come October, will bear a yet-to-be-determined "healthy lifestyle" image above L.L. Bean's new store in the downtown mall — the company's first location in Vermont.
"We do anticipate that L.L. Bean will be putting up a lifestyle image on the façade of the Cherry Street building," Chabot confirms, though he won't comment on the specifics.
Several graphic options are being discussed with the "Bean Team," he says, and the image won't be complete until late September or early October, when the outdoor retailer is scheduled to open.
"We're working closely with their marketing department to make sure it reflects the healthy lifestyle consistent with what we have here in Vermont," Chabot says.
Building-size signage is pretty much unprecedented in downtown Burlington, but the proposal for the scrim was accepted "immediately" by the city's Department of Planning and Zoning, according to Chabot.
"There was not a significant amount of negotiation," he says. "It wasn't anything that was in violation of Burlington's signing ordinance."
Whatever the final graphic is, it won't contain any text or marketing language that directly associates it with L.L. Bean. But, as it will hover above the entrance to the company's store, directly over an awning and a large sign bearing its name, the affiliation should be fairly obvious. Chabot says the exact number of windows that will be covered by the scrim has also not been finalized.
"Quite frankly, we've had a lot more conversation about the height of the L.L. Bean sign above the awning than about the scrim," Chabot notes, citing Burlington's 14-foot maximum.
The temporary scrim was put in place so that workers in the offices inside — employees of the HowardCenter and Maximus — can get an idea of what it'll be like once the real thing is installed. The material is see-through from the inside and designed to withstand a cold winter, Chabot says.
"It's similar to a bus wrap," he explains. "Looking from the inside out it's transparent, but from the outside you get a strong visual."
L.L. Bean's arrival on Cherry Street is part of a long-term push to improve that corridor down to the waterfront, city officials have said. "We do feel [the image will be] an improved façade from what we've all been looking at for the past number of years," Chabot says.

Q: Convert email attachment to base64 I want to take an attachment from an email and convert it to a base64 string so that I can store it as JSON.
In C#, I would get the attachment as a System.IO.Stream, read it into a byte array, and then use Convert.ToBase64String.
In F# though, I'm not sure how to this (I'm a beginner) and it feels like there is probably a much more functional way of doing things...?

A: F# combines functional style with object-oriented style, so that you can easily call .NET libraries from F#. Sometimes there are F#-specific libraries that give you a more functional style for some tasks (like list processing), but I don't think there is anything like that for base64 encoding and streams.
So, given a stream, you can read it into a buffer and then convert to base64 using .NET types as follows:
open System
open System.IO

let stream = // Some stream, for example: new MemoryStream([| 1uy; 2uy; 3uy; 4uy |])
let buffer = Array.zeroCreate (int stream.Length)
stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
Convert.ToBase64String(buffer)

Police: Pop Smoke's social media led killers to LA home
This aerial photo taken from video provided by Fox11 News KTTV-TV shows the Hollywood Hills home, center, where Pop Smoke, 20, was shot and killed early Feb. 19, 2020, in Los Angeles.

PUBLISHED: July 10, 2020 at 1:25 a.m. | UPDATED: July 10, 2020 at 1:25 a.m.
By STEFANIE DAZIO
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities believe rising rapper Pop Smoke was shot and killed during a Los Angeles home-invasion robbery in February after his social media posts led five suspects to the house he was renting, police said after detectives arrested the group Thursday morning.
Los Angeles police had initially discounted a robbery theory in the days after the 20-year-old rapper's death Feb. 19 at a home in the Hollywood Hills. Pop Smoke's legal name is Bashar Barakah Jackson.
Capt. Jonathan Tippet, who oversees the Los Angeles Police Department's elite Robbery-Homicide Division, said three men and two teenage boys likely went to the home because they knew Pop Smoke was there from social media posts. They stole items from the home, though Tippet said he could not divulge what was taken. The teens were 15 and 17 years old.
"We believe that it was a robbery. Initially we didn't really have the evidence but then we discovered some other evidence that showed this was likely a home invasion gone bad," Tippet told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The five suspects were arrested Thursday morning as detectives served several search warrants in Los Angeles. All are believed to be members of a South Los Angeles gang, which Tippet would not name, and at least some of them are believed to be linked to the 2019 homicide of an 18-year-old man when a fight escalated into a shooting outside the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
The three men were identified as Jaquan Murphy, 21, Corey Walker, 19, and Keandre D. Rodgers, 18, all of Los Angeles.
Walker and Rodgers were arrested on suspicion of murder and Murphy was held on suspicion of attempted murder, police said.
The men were being held in lieu of $1 million bail apiece.
The 15-year-old and the 17-year-old also were booked on suspicion of murder.
It wasn't immediately known whether any of those arrested had attorneys.
Pop Smoke and his entourage staying at the home are not believed to be associated with the gang, Tippet said. No one else was shot during the incident.
The Los Angeles Times reported in February that the rapper had posted pictures of him posing by an infinity pool in the home's backyard, as well as a picture of the Los Angeles skyline from what was likely the house's backyard. In another post, Pop Smoke or a member of his entourage put a picture of a gift bag tagged with the Hollywood Hills address and a different photo showed him posing by a Ranger Rover in a spot where the home's address was partly visible in the background.
"It's our belief that (the home-invasion robbery) was based on some of the social media" posts, Tippet said. "It's based on the fact that he was posting his information may have contributed to him knowing where to find him."
The home where the shooting occurred is owned by Edwin Arroyave and his wife Teddi Mellencamp, daughter of Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famer John Mellencamp and a star of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
Teddi Mellencamp previously said on Instagram that the couple had been notified of the shooting at their rental property but knew no more than what they had seen in media reports.
Pop Smoke arrived on the rap scene in 2018 and broke out with "Welcome to the Party" a gangsta anthem with boasts about shootings, killings and drugs that became a huge sensation, and prompted Nicki Minaj to drop a verse on a remix.
Earlier this year, Pop Smoke released the mixtape "Meet the Woo 2," which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart. It was the follow up to his first official release, "Meet the Woo." The rapper also had the popular hit "Gatti" with Travis Scott and Jackboys and "Dior."
His major label debut album, "Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon," was executive produced by 50 Cent. It was released posthumously last Friday to mostly positive reviews and features appearances from popular artists including Future, DaBaby and Quavo.

Wilhelm Burger (ur. 19 maja 1904 w Monachium, zm. 14 grudnia 1979) – narodowy socjalista, funkcjonariusz administracji nazistowskich obozów koncentracyjnych oraz SS-Sturmbannführer.

Był członkiem NSDAP i SS, wyróżnionym odznakami pierścienia SS i szpady SS. W 1936 rozpoczął służbę w administracji obozów Dachau i Oranienburg. W latach 1942–1943 kierował administracją Auschwitz-Birkenau, w tym ogromnymi magazynami zawierającymi mienie pomordowanych Żydów (magazyny te nazywano "Kanada"). Na początku 1943 został przeniesiony do Zespołu D w ramach WVHA, któremu podlegały obozy koncentracyjne. Burger został szefem Zespołu D IV zajmującego się administracją obozów.

Po wojnie dwukrotnie został osądzony za udział w zbrodniach wojennych. Najpierw Sąd Wojewódzki w Krakowie 9 kwietnia 1952 skazał go na 8 lat więzienia, lecz polski Sąd Najwyższy obniżył mu wyrok do 5 lat. Następnie Burger został skazany 17 września 1966 przez zachodnioniemiecki sąd we Frankfurcie nad Menem na 8 lat pozbawienia wolności.

Wow!! This place is good.
The room, is dark and elegant, nothing flashy, fits quite well with the general look and feel of Aria.
The bread has bacon in it, yes they serve you a warm roll with bacon in it, that's a great first impression.
Looking over the menu you quickly see that they like to do things different, dishes you've seen before done their special way, but it works. I can strongly recommend both the Waygu Tartare and Fried Sweetbreads appetizers, probably the best tartare I've ever had. The entrees and desserts with both spot on, warm peach glazed doughnuts are what dreams are made of.
Service was excellent, never rushed or pressured, and they took time to explain a few menu items. I'll definitely be back and think I'll have to try the tasting menu.
The Chef's Signature Menu is truly excellent and contains all of the best dishes. A very reasonable fixed price and an extremely tasty meal.
Amazing! Combines quality food that can compete with anybody with a relaxed, cool atmosphere off the lobby at Aria. Definitely worth a splurge.
Perhaps the best meal I've ever had in Las Vegas except for Joel Robuchon at the Mansion and the late, great Alex at Wynn. Perfect place for a romantic dinner. Inventive, artfully presented contemporary cuisine with excellent service that matches the incredible food the kitchen is putting out. And while pricey, the tariff is still notably lower than it is at many other restaurants on the strip that aren't putting out food nearly this good.
Best dinner restaurant in Las Vegas.
One of best dining experiences we had in Vegas (excluding the hostess).
Excellent food, service, and atmosphere.
A must-do and we will definitely be back!


First in this series of posts and possibly most important is the Cutting Tool/knife. If you have a knife then most other things can be made from natural materials if you have the skills and knowledge.
Now Certainly out if the wilderness a fixed blade is going to be your go to choice, but in an urban setting it may not be practical. Particularly in the UK, where if you carry anything sharper than a ham sandwich you will be seen as a lunatic. So avoiding the legal quagmire of carrying a fixed blade in public, for UK legal Daily carry you are only within the law to carry a sub 3 inch, non locking blade i.e a penknife. You do not need any reason at all to carry such a blade, you only need to provide got reason if your blade is longer than 3 inches or has a locking mechanism.
As with all tools, it is important to make sure they are as sharp as possible, a blunt knife is downright dangerous.
I live the look of the lanky world legal and might have to add it to my birthday wish list. To be honest I favour a 99e Stanley knife nut I'm not massively concerned about edc as I don't go many places without my van which is stuffed full of tools. Around the homestead I have a number of pen knifes and my favourite is a ck "real lambs foot". My dad brought me my first one when I was ten so I could help on the farm easier than asking to borrow his all the time.


Two years ago, Morgan City man Jason Dinger had an idea for a board game called "Captains Of The Gulf". Little did he know that his idea would manifest into a big hit in the worldwide gaming community.
Scientists are showing great concern over Gulf water temperatures this early in the year. It could mean a spike in stronger thunderstorms or maybe stronger hurricanes for the region.
Three tropical systems are being watched by the Hurricane Center including a disorganized tropical wave in the Gulf of Mexico.
Tropical Depression Four has formed in the Bay of Campeche approximately 800 miles south of the Louisiana coast.
Hurricane forecasters are watching an area of disturbed weather in the southwest Gulf of Mexico.
When things like this are seen, I can't help but wonder how many things lurk around in the ocean we don't know about, and possibly never will.
The investigation continues into an explosion that claimed the life of one worker and injured three more.
White Shark Katherine is a massive 14ft, 2,300 lb shark that is lurking around in the Gulf Of Mexico right now waiting to eat you and your entire family.

Media Guest - "The Incredible Hulk"
Louis Jude Ferrigno, born November 9, 1951, is an American actor, fitness trainer, fitness consultant and retired professional bodybuilder. As a bodybuilder, Ferrigno won an IFBB Mr. America title and two consecutive IFBB Mr. Universe titles, and appeared in the bodybuilding documentary Pumping Iron. As an actor, he is best known for his title role in the CBS television series The Incredible Hulk and vocally reprising the role in subsequent animated and computer-generated incarnations. He has also appeared in European-produced fantasy-adventures such as Sinbad of the Seven Seas and Hercules, and as himself in the sitcom The King of Queens and the 2009 comedy I Love You, Man.
Lou was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Victoria and Matty Ferrigno. His father was an Italian-American police lieutenant. Soon after he was born, Lou suffered a series of ear infections and lost 75% of his hearing. Undeterred by what some may have perceived as a disadvantage, Lou threw himself into athletics, predominantly weightlifting and bodybuilding.
Lou started weight training at age 13, citing bodybuilder and Hercules-star Steve Reeves as one of his role models. He was also a fan of the Hercules films that starred Reeves and would later himself play Hercules. Lou's other childhood heroes included Spider-Man and the Hulk. Lou won his first major titles in 1973 - IFBB Mr. America and IFBB Mr. Universe - during which, he lived in Columbus, OH. Lou was only 21 when he won his first Mr. Universe title, a Guinness Book world record that stands to this day. In 1974, he came in second on his first attempt at the Mr. Olympia competition. He came in third the following year, which was documented in 1975s documentary, Pumping Iron.
1977 brought the release of the now-iconic bodybuilding documentary, Pumping Iron, and the attention of television producer Kenneth Johnson (Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, V, Alien Nation), who was seeking the right person to portray the larger-than-life comic book superhero, The Incredible Hulk. With his 6' 5" , 285 lb. frame, Lou was the biggest professional bodybuilder at the time. He auditioned for the part of the green-skinned Goliath, winning the part over fellow bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Lou was cast in the title role opposite Bill Bixby, who played his meek scientist/alter ego. Although Lou and Bixby did not share lines on camera, except for one episode "King of the Beach", the two were friends, with Lou describing Bixby as "a mentor and a father figure" who took Lou under his wing. Lou continued playing the Hulk role until 1981, although the last two episodes were not broadcast until May 1982. The Incredible Hulk was a huge ratings success and spawned several TV movies after the initial TV series completed its run.
Lou's most recent credits include guest appearances on the CBS sitcom, The King of Queens, Hulk (2003), The Incredible Hulk (2008), I Love You, Man (2009), The Avengers (2012), and Celebrity Apprentice: Season 5 (2012).

Q: JQuery: Why does relative positioning of element return top of window (0,0) at times and correctly at others? I am trying to show a busy waiting icon at the point of ajax invocation (i.e., event.target or object that fired the event). I use the following code to achieve that but in some cases the position (offset) of the element returned is top:0 and left:0 - I know I'm probably making a mistake but can't seem to nail it. Here's my code (It's in a backbone view class, but that shouldn't matter since it's quite trivial):
//ajax loading animation
var LoadingAnimation = Backbone.View.extend({

    tagName: 'div', //creates an empty div element

initialize: function() {
    var DOMElement = this.options.DOMElement; //is passed as a param (see below)
    var pos = DOMElement.offset();  //<-- pos.left and pos.top 0 for some elements??
    var _width = DOMElement.outerWidth(true);
    var _height = DOMElement.outerHeight(true);

            //setting the 'style' of 'this' div
    $(this.el).css({
        "position":"absolute",
        "left" : pos.left+"px",
        "top"  : pos.top+"px",
        "z-index" : 9999,
        "width" : _width+"px",
        "height": _height+"px",
        "background": "#FFFFFF url(images/loading_round.gif) no-repeat center center"
        });

            /*appending to body. Don't know if this is correct, but nothing would
             *show if it was not done :(
             */

    $('body').append(this.el);

    //_.bindAll(this, 'render','unrender'); //ignore for now
    this.render();
},

render: function() {
    $(this.el).show();
},

unrender: function() {
    $(this.el).fadeOut("slow");
    $(this.el).remove();
}

});

Here's how it can be invoked:
$('.ajaxAble').click(function(event){

var showBusy = new LoadingAnimation({DOMElement:$(this)}); //create and render busy waiting

//do ajax calls here and call showBusy.unrender() in success/error

}

This works fine for some elements but for some the offset() returns 0. I don't know why though? All of those elements have relative positioning and the div to be shown has absolute. But I don't see the conflict. (Is there one?). I need to make this class as position agnostic as possible, so to speak...
PS: I chose the local non-blocking way as pointed out in this post:
Best way to have 'busy waiting' animation be 'position configurable' in jquery? (i.e., show it where the action is)
UPDATE: (After selecting answer): Tom's answer of appending to parent of DOMElement is correct. However for that to work properly it's better to use .position() rather than .offset() above (as suggested by rkw). The above code appends to body (incorrect for some elements) but uses offset.

A: The result of position:relative will depend on the position of the parent. If you're applying this behavior to a diverse collection of items, it may be the case that their positioning context is sufficiently different to cause the behavior you're seeing.
Is the problem you're seeing reproducible? And is it always the same for the same elements?
EDIT: here's the code you need to append the new loading indicator to the page, at a place in the document where the position info you got earlier will make sense.
// $('body').append(this.el);
$(DOMElement).parent().append(this.el);

A: An absolutely-positioned item finds its origin at the first RELATIVELY POSITIONED parent element. If none if defined it will go up the tree to the BODY tag.
The only time you need to define position:relative is when you wish to define that element as the new origin point for its CHILD elements.

A: To standardize against all browsers, I would recommend the methods available through jQuery:
.offset(): Use this if you want the position relative to the page
.position(): Use this if you want the position relative to the parent element.  Note that for this one to work, your parent element must have either a position: relative or position: absolute property.


Our mission at the Coüch Collective is to redefine the female narrative by changing the types of stories told about women in film and by working to get more women behind the camera at all levels of production.
We produce and support projects that prioritize hiring at least 51% women and at least 36% people of color on their teams.
As you can tell by our name, we have a great sense of humor. We believe a new paradigm and movement is needed and we pan to have a lot of fun creating it.
In early 2015 several women from diverse backgrounds within the film industry came together and confronted the fact that the gender disparity in the entertainment industry was not only unbalanced but entirely unnecessary.
That's when they lit upon a revolutionary idea: What if instead of focusing on wasting energy vilifying the lack luster status quo, we created a new paradigm of our own? What if we changed the rules of the game? What if we employed each other?
We realized that we could combine our time, money, energy, stories, gear, expertise, network equity, and ingenuity to reclaim power and create our own work on our own terms.
With that, the Collective hit the ground running and hasn't looked back since.
We Make Short Films – We sponsor two script writing contests each year and the winner of the contest receives a grant as well as a full crew to realize their project. This provides opportunities for women to develop their portfolios in film so they can better leverage their experience in the entertainment industry.
We Teach Each Other Stuff – Every other month, the Collective offers affordable (and sometimes free!) workshops to both members and the public on everything from writing screenplays to audition technique, producing a short film to script supervising.
We Employ Each Other – On months when we don't host workshops, we have networking meetings where working film industry professionals gather to network and connect. Many members are exposed to work opportunities on non-Collective projects.
We Showcase and Promote Women and People of Color in Film and Entertainment – While we are avid about supporting and marketing our members, we are dedicated to featuring projects, organizations, and resources that align with our cause. This means we savor the moments when we can collaborate with professionals from outside the Collective to disseminate and publicize high-quality work created by women in filmmakers.
Becoming A Member is Epic and Easy!
Wonderful! We have a lot of fun making stuff and we'd love to have you. All you have to do is come to one of our events: a meeting, workshop, or fundraiser. We are a participation-reliant organization and we are only as strong and robust as the resources our members lovingly and generously contribute.
We regularly post when events will be on our facebook page. Eventually we will have a handsome little calendar on this very site, but until then we rely on social media to spread the good word.

The entire human race, and particularly the Chinese, lives on a culture of food; all people eat. However, most people do not realize that what, how, where, and with whom they eat are matters related to culture. Although eating is considered a daily activity and a natural behavior, it demonstrates cultural meanings and is significant for social identifications. Other than culture, food is also associated with illnesses and health as well as concepts of beauty and fitness. This paper focuses on how preparing food and consuming it influences the human thoughts. It explores the various ways through which food preparation and consumption processes control people's thoughts, hence, influencing their behaviors and social relations, especially the gender roles. This objective will be achieved by reviewing texts by Chinese writers, and mostly Lu Xun, concentration on how these artists respond to issues surrounding food and gender.
Food Preparation and Consumption
One of the most basic explorations of food influence on people involves a close consideration of the social relationships connected to power and authority between men and women revealed through food production and consumption; that is, who cooks? Who serves? And who eats? Answers to these three questions reveal the dimensions of inequality between people as dictated by the culture of food. Barriers of national or ethnic identity and social class are demonstrated by the different preferences of flavor, aroma, and texture among other features of food preparation, identified as measures of security and wealth (Leslie 4). Such preferences appeal to the brain, therefore, placing people with similar preferences together.
Similarly, the contradictory sets of table-manners expectations also demonstrate economic divisions between partakers who seem indistinguishable. For instance, in a decent restaurant, people who eat, mostly men, expect a little respect from the servers who are mostly women, including the jovial egalitarianism of nice-day wishes, provision of serviettes and tablecloths as well as wine lists. Besides, restaurant diners expect incredible competence from the cooks. However, this situation changes when the same affluent individuals serve up meals at their homes; it is upon them to select the ingredients, methods of preparation, and the fashionable strategies to serve. These strategies accord them their social status in the eyes of their guests (Leslie 5).
Possibly, even more than the ethnic and national or class markers of identity, food is also associated with gender. In most professional kitchens, men are considered the most capable chefs, whereas women are regarded as mere cooks. This philosophy changes back at home, where women take the responsibility of both cooking and serving their husbands and children whose direct relationship with food is just eating it. Despite the single immediate relationship of men and children with food at home, they are still bound within the culture of food.

The power of the mother, here regarded as the cook, as an older, larger, and gifted authority is very real. Nevertheless, it is conditional bearing in mind the context of the husband, also regarded as a father and provider, who sits down and waits to be served. Scholars have established that men who take the responsibility of cooking in their homes do not accept the responsibility as a morally upright activity as compared to women with the same responsibilities in their households. This state of affairs shows that there exists a gendered culture in the culture of food: although it is women's duty to cook and serve, there is an immediate relationship with food to all the family members, despite the fact that men only wait to be served (Goldblatt and Lau 101).
Hidden Life Recipes in Food
Many symbolisms that saturate the Chinese food culture did not only influence the historical Chinese but exists to date, as well. Food appeals to the functioning of the human senses. A reflection at the Chinese history shows that most advisers, ministers, rulers, and emperor counselors began their careers as either butchers or cooks. Cooking, feeding, eating, banqueting, and dining were jointly used as a criterion of selecting good and moral political leaders in the traditional China. Butchers, stewards, and cooks exhibited some unique skills that directly related to the art of leadership. For instance, the capacity to combine different ingredients in their respective proportions without one ingredient overpowering the other symbolized the virtue of harmony. Similarly, chopping meat into equal pieces or controlling alcohol consumption during rituals and banquets demonstrated propriety, order, and self-control (University of Cambridge 3).
Confucius, China's most renowned thinker, stated that a morally upright person should not crave for overfeeding. He purportedly found pleasure in plain water and coarse food, never spoke while eating, and never ate to the full in the presence of someone mourning. Additionally, it is said that the Chinese sagacious would go through an entire day of ritual drinking but without getting drunk. These features, perhaps, made Confucius one among the most outstanding thinkers in the global history. Many Chinese believe that borrowing a leaf from him would, similarly, enable one achieve as he achieved (University of Cambridge 5).
It was also believed that food influenced people's moral character, including the unborn. A mother was believed to have power to 'instruct' the fetus through consumption of properly cut food from well-balanced dishes. Emperors and rulers were expected to regulate their food intake depending on the day circumstances. Such regulations would include economizing the amount of meals served at court during famine and switching to vegetables during droughts and famine. Food was used in ancient China to affirm the respective political hierarchies among the guests at a high table in Cambridge Colleges. Such distinctions would be determined by the number of dishes allocated, seating arrangements as well as the food vessels, cups, and utensils used during a meal. In addition, banquets were avenues where political matters and military honor would be resettled. Drinking parties would be prepared as a strategy to trick, eliminate, or humiliate political rivals (University of Cambridge 10).
Women and Food
Women and food are most noticeably associated with the structure of gender, revolution, and materiality in most Chinese contemporary writings. Food shortage, with its hideous impacts in the national economics, eugenics, and politics, has been demonstrated in China's pursuit for modernization. However, when food shortage is considered in literary terms, it manifests itself in diverse typologies, ranging from drought caused by nature to revolution starvations dictated by the ideology.
Many Chinese writers perceive famine as not only an agricultural crisis, but also as a focus on the minds of modern thinkers who campaign for social welfare, particularly in politics. Additionally, national hunger is perceived in feminine terms, perhaps, referring to women's somatic susceptibility during the man-made and natural food crises or to their conventional duty in the victimology semiotics. Hunger is an outstanding theme in the contemporary Chinese writing, with women recurrently being portrayed as the protagonists (Wang 2).
The works of Lu Xun are a viable example to affirm this proposition. In her short story, "The New Year's Sacrifice," a remarkable moment is highlighted when the narrator meets the doomed Luzhen, wife of Xianglin. Luzhen has been living as a beggar because of the snub of her townsfolk. When she meets the narrator, the ill-fated woman does not request for food. Instead, she begs for an answer to a nagging question: "After a person dies, does he turn to a ghost or not?" Caught off guard, the narrator only mumbles, "I am not sure" (Lu Xun 13).
During such a celebration, marked by plenty of wining and dining, Luzhen impresses the narrator with her hunger for something else other than food. She comfortably accepts the narrator's empty answer and finally dies a pitiable death. The most ironical bit in the pathetic death of Luzhen is that it arouses the appetite of the narrator. Although he had failed to offer a satisfactory answer to the woman, he yearns to take sharkfin soup to get the peace of mind and acquire stomach satisfaction. Meaning is demanded where food is anticipated; although the words offered are meaningless to the narrator, food can fill his blankness (Wang 2).
There exists a pack of symbols between the narrator and Luzhen concerning the duality of oral functions: speaking and eating. Although Luzhen is a beggar, she does not accept mere food. Rather, she attempts to find answers to her life puzzlement. Nevertheless, her effort to speak and get some response is ruined by the narrator who offers her neither anything thinkable nor edible. According to the Freudian theory, language is identical to the praxis of eating swapped to the speaking semiosis. This claim means that both eating and speaking are primarily communicative acts through which man makes the world suitable for existence. As it can be drawn from this short story, the reader can already perceive the short-circuiting effect of the oral duality. Whereas Luzhen dies a mute woman, her fellow townsfolk celebrate their New Year's Eve feast in clamor. This death suggests that she is the sacrifice of the occasion served in honor of the deities and ancestors in a cannibalistic celebration.
Food as Symbols of Female Empowerment
Just as the typical starving women in the modern Chinese literature, an extensive line of women follow Luzhen. For example, Rou Shi's short story, "A Slave's Mother," tells of a man who sells his hungry wife as a surrogate mother to save his family from dying of hunger. In Wang Jingzhi's "Human Flesh," some of hungry men literally chop a starving woman into portions and eats her. Still in another incident, Wu Zuxiang's "The Fan Village" tells of another hungry woman who commits matricide because her mother declines from lending her money to survive famine. Finally, in Xiao Hong's "The Field of Life and Death," a story is told of hungry women who go behind their men and oppose the Japanese oppression. This gallery of hungry women clearly shows the extra function of food: it is a symbol of political, economic, and social starvations (Wang 3).
For Lu Xun and the other authors, food is used as symbols of powerful tokens that mark the melancholy of powerlessness within a cannibalistic society. The enthusiasm of these authors' statements, on behalf of the peasant hungry women, appeals to the reader to judge issues beyond the superficial typology of social cannibalism and injustice. As Luzhen's case indicates, some aspects of female subjectivity are manifested in the Chinese modern literature. Firstly, these are the consumptive and enunciative capabilities of women in pursuing economic and social selfhood. Secondly, it is the deployment of gender and biological resources in both the private and public spheres. Thirdly, it is the general assumption that hunger and femininity are possibly male fantasies of the material and metaphysical misery that overwhelmed modern China.
Although people still believe that being obese is wrong, they lack self-discipline to eat the good foods that will nourish their bodies with the required nutrients and, at the same time, spare their good body shape. Lack of discipline is portrayed through hefty consumption of junk foods that leave one overweight and with a feeling of unworthiness. Most obese people would be described as gluttonous individuals who cannot stop themselves from engaging in ravenous greed, hiding their eating habits from the people around them, and lying to even themselves about their eating habits. Confessing their sins is the only mechanism such people can use to lose some pounds of their weight. Most importantly, it is paramount to note that obesity is mostly caused by lack of self-discipline in food intake (Counihan and Esterik 21).
Although most people consider eating a natural behavior, what, how, where, and when one eats tells more about him or her, and are central to social identifications. Food is related to the intellectual functioning of all humans, and, therefore, influences their behavior. It is associated with concepts of beauty and fitness as well as illness and health. The various cultural meanings of food have been elaborated above, paying special attention to the different ways through which food appeals to the human thoughts. A general conclusion can be drawn that, indeed, by influencing human thoughts, food further influences areas of economy, politics, religion, and globalization.

Ten years ago, senior vice president, chief procurement and sustainability officer Norbert Riezler, was appointed to manage the U.S. procurement department for Las Vegas Sands and within 18 months, was asked to head the department globally by Chairman and CEO, Sheldon Adelson. Three years later, he was asked to lead the sustainability department globally, managing the program in Macao and Singapore as well.
Leading the company into sustainable operations, Riezler searched for the right person to help establish the program the correct way. He hired Katarina Tesarova, vice president of global sustainability, to unite all regions and create Sands ECO360, Las Vegas Sands award-winning global sustainability program. The two spent time traveling to learn what others thought about sustainability, ultimately creating the program based on four pillars: Green Buildings, Environmentally Responsible Operations, Stakeholder Engagement and Green Meetings and Events. The pillars were created in areas where they could make the most impact.
Riezler does say that the global sustainability team does have to formulate specific needs to each region and properties because they are so diverse. But all regions and properties are looked at as one sustainability group globally, focusing on what is really important as a whole.
Other issues that affect regions differently are government, people, and jurisdictions. With recycling efforts, infrastructure in the U.S. is far better than in Macao. Las Vegas is able to recycle 55-80% of materials depending on events, but in Macao, they don't have the infrastructure or recycling facilities like the U.S. With support from Las Vegas Sands executives, the department is able to improve their efforts every year.
During the launch of the program, Riezler said he and Tesarova always aimed to have a sustainability program in place that produced facts, figures and certifications, where the program can speak for itself through high rankings and various awards. Through its science-based targets, the department is deeply embedded in global operations.

Amongst essentially the most widespread electrical wiring questions is on how to wire a switch. When applying switches in your own home is very effortless, wiring just one may not be that effortless for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You'll find various kinds of switches, but for this example, let's say you're putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally prevalent change (and also the most straightforward).
You can find 3 colours of wires within a typical single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and link them around the terminal screws - 1 on top and also the other to the bottom screw from the switch. The white wire serves as a supply of uninterrupted electrical power and is commonly linked to a mild coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the green wire to your ground screw of your change.
These methods would normally be sufficient to help make a standard switch get the job done without having a dilemma. On the other hand, in the event you will not be assured that you simply can complete the task adequately and properly you far better enable the pros get it done in its place. Immediately after all, you can find a purpose why this endeavor is amongst the most common electrical wiring concerns asked by the majority of people.
For many motive, the best way to wire a ceiling fan can be considered one of probably the most prevalent electrical wiring queries. To simplify this endeavor, you can utilize an individual switch for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it really is simply a subject of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan into the black wire in the switch. When there is a light, the blue wire need to be related on the black wire from the switch also.
You will find good reasons why they're the most usually asked electrical wiring issues. Just one, numerous feel it truly is very simple to carry out, and two, these are generally the common electrical duties in your own home. But then you certainly shouldn't place your security at risk in the aim to save cash. The stakes could even be much higher when you try to cut costs and do an electrical wiring work devoid of sufficient expertise or experience.

Black Christmas feels more like a campfire story told to scare children than a motion picture meant to terrify adults. By the time it finishes explaining the back story and universe within which it presides, you'll have thought of more terrifying deaths for the characters in your mind. In fact, stop watching Black Christmas at the 45 minute mark and go straight to bed, and you'll have more interesting dreams than the images contained within the second half of this film.
Ostensibly a remake of the 1974 slasher of the same name, Black Christmas is a film that takes place almost entirely in a sorority house during a terrible winter storm that ensures that regardless of what happens, nobody can leave and the police won't get there until well after the running time has come to a close. The plot: A killer is on the loose, of course. His name is Billy, and he has been locked in a prison/asylum/whatever for the last couple of decades. Cheekily, the sorority girls dedicate a gift to Billy, "in his memory," since this was the house in which he grew up and suffered through a painful childhood.
We get a great deal of flashbacks that make sure to reinforce exactly how awful Billy's childhood was. We learn that he was born with yellow skin and was hated by his mother as a result. Inbreeding also becomes a topic of conversation, as his mother, well, is a really terrible person. Anyway, there are a bunch of sorority girls and they're going to be terrorized and hopefully eventually killed, so hopes our serial killer. And the audience, presumably, because how many people go to a slasher movie to see the innocent (or not so innocent) protagonists get away?
You know how the film works from here. There are a bunch of pretty girls, and most, if not all, of them will get killed in the end. The only problems facing the writers are (1) figuring out how to get the characters to the area in which they will die and (2) which creative way should they be killed.
There's not a whole lot of creativity to the kills, which is a bit of a shame. Slashers need to at least provide one or two memorable moments, but thanks to the low budget — and perhaps a lack of talent behind the camera — most of the kills either happen off-screen or involve a plastic bag and a head. Sure, some of the things that are done to the bodies after the deaths are pretty gruesome — eyeballs are removed and sometimes eaten, for one — but that's much easier to accomplish. At least one of the deaths is incredibly stupid, and while I'll remember it — a death by falling icicle — it doesn't mean anything especially because it happened independent of the killer.
The slasher is perhaps one of the only genres where having a lack of character development can be seen as a good thing. When one or two of the people have strong characterization, you can always assume that they'll make it right to the end of the film. Black Christmas has almost no development for anyone, which means it's essentially a free-for-all. Anyone can die, and anyone does.
With that said, Black Christmas is rarely scary, and while it does initially build some strong atmosphere, it fails to capitalize on that and instead relies on jump scenes and excessive gore to attempt to frighten us. It's a film that startles, although it telegraphs these moments so poorly that you'll see when almost all of them are about to show up. And when the plot finally concludes, you'll have sat through something a more convoluted and confusing than any slasher has the right to be. Seriously, even with all of this exposition, Black Christmas still doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Admittedly, this is a film that looks good — or at least, looks different. There's no real purpose behind the numerous canted-angle shots, the main stylistic device used by director Glen Morgan, but at least there's something different about the film. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't even be worth discussing, save for calling it another poor remake of a horror (cult) classic — even if that remake has little to do with the original except for the basic premise.
It's hard to say that any of the actors do a good, or bad, job, because there's so little for all of them to do other than look pretty and then look dead. Oh, and they have to occasionally looks scared when they think the killer might be close by, or cry when one of their "sisters" gets killed. They're all working with such a limited screenplay that it's impossible to fault any of them for turning in a subpar performance. Not that many of them do — they're all perfectly fine given the material — but there are a couple, whose names I don't even know since the characters' names didn't matter, that were terrible.
Black Christmas isn't a good movie. It doesn't have many fun or creative kills, and it's a remake of a classic slasher film that really didn't need to be remade. It's a pointless movie that, while not terrible, certainly isn't worth spending the time to watch, even if that time is only 85 minutes. While it has an interesting style, it's a dull, overly convoluted slasher that you have no reason to watch.

At Keystone, it's easy to see why Shakespeare is eternal
Billy's Blog: From our Head of School
"Every life has its kernel, its hub, its epicentre, from which everything flows out, to which everything returns."
–Maggie O'Farrell, Hamnet
To say that watching Upper School students perform William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream last week evoked a variety of emotions would be an understatement. Yes, the students acted beautifully, and Mr. Ciaravino's directing was impeccable. The stage crew met the demands of the moment with a simple but compelling set, and the music established the mood and tone of the show. Equally impressively, the actors demonstrated an extraordinary sense of timing and comedic sensibilities. I glanced at my fellow audience members and saw many of us laughing so hard that tears streamed down our cheeks.
In any year, it would have been an excellent performance of the classic comedy. However, this being the first live theater at Keystone in two years made the three-night run even more moving. After so long, we were once again watching together as a collective act, and it felt wonderful.
Nevertheless, I couldn't help marveling that in our return to the stage we were reaching back to a play that was written in 1595 or 1596. What is about the Bard that keeps us returning to his plays again and again? Why, when there are so many plays written, do we go to Shakespeare?
According to several articles I read, the reasons for teaching Shakespeare in school can be summarized in four arguments. First, his plays contain universal themes that we return to again and again in modern works. For those of you who may be seeing The Lion King at the Majestic Theater, please bear in mind the similarities of this seemingly children's tale with Hamlet and its ghosts and themes of grief and revenge. West Side Story retells Romeo and Juliet, and Mean Girls provides a high school version of Julius Caesar. Perhaps no play expresses the green-eyed monster in as sinister a fashion as Othello. We return to Shakespeare because we recognize the themes and emotions in his plays in our own world and in ourselves.
In her interview with University of California English professor Maggie Trapp, writer Lori Gray explains, "'Shakespeare's contemporary Ben Jonson wrote that Shakespeare's work was 'not of an age but for all time,' which has proven to be prescient," says Trapp. 'There's something about the plays that makes them more than topical, more than of their own time. They can teach us about the politics and the psychology of our current moment, about the intricacies of hubris and the fluidity of desire, the perils of blind ambition and the satisfactions of true connection. These plays have managed to speak complicated truths to all manner of audiences and readers for hundreds of years.' "
In turn, we understand the characters in Shakespeare's plays because they exist in people we know. According to the "Top 5 Reasons for Teaching Shakespeare" by high school teacher Renee Ann Smith, "Shakespeare showed a thorough understanding of human nature with the characters he created. His heroes express the fears and desires of every thoughtful man. His bold heroines give the likes of Katniss Everdeen a run for her money. We learn more about ourselves from the personalities that people his plays." The characters seem to be multi-valent like our friends or colleagues, so they invite our admiration, our disdain, and our empathy.
Perhaps a third reason for grappling with the complexity of Shakespeare comes from its being demanding. Again and again, we learn that students respond to challenges, whether they come in the form of an abstract math problem, a seemingly impossible translation, or a lab that just won't work. This may be even more true for the motivated and hard-working students at Keystone. Similarly, wrestling with the language and plotlines of Shakespeare takes students to a new level of work, accomplishment, and growth. Just like our physical muscles grow after a straining workout, our intellectual skills move to a new level when we take on works like Macbeth or As You Like It.
Educator Sachel S. Bise says, "According to researchers at the University of Liverpool, Shakespeare "uses a linguistic technique known as functional shift," which is when one element of grammar is intentionally altered. Shakespeare used functional shift frequently, especially when using nouns as verbs. When the brain sees this, there is "a sudden peak in brain activity and [it] forces the brain to work backwards in order to fully understand what Shakespeare is trying to say." Shakespeare's language forces readers to develop stronger skills in order to understand what the text means. Those skills are vital to becoming a strong analyzer in math, science, history, and English. It can also help with social skills when adolescents are trying to figure out what their peers mean in the confusing and complex situations in which teenagers often find themselves. Students also develop stronger language skills that can be used in social interactions when peers use sarcasm or metaphors without realizing it.'
Finally, perhaps one of the best reasons to read and perform Shakespeare is for the love of the language. Some people say that Shakespeare created 7,000 new words in the English language. Watching the Keystone students speak the puns and engage in the wordplay last week offered some of the greatest joys of the evening. Shakespeare's influence on the way we speak continues even today.
Here again, Lori Gray and Professor Trapp open our eyes. "Have you ever said, 'wiith bated breath,' that something is the "be-all and the end-all" or that you wanted to 'break the ice'? Have you asked, "Knock, knock! Who's there?" If so, you have quoted Shakespeare.
"If for no other reason, students today should study Shakespeare simply to appreciate how much of our daily discourse we owe to his wordsmithery," Trapp asserts. "If you've ever said 'green-eyed monster,' 'in a pickle,' 'tongue-tied,' 'standing on ceremony,' 'wild goose chase,' 'cruel to be kind,' 'hoodwinked,' 'to wear one's heart on one's sleeve,' 'it's Greek to me,' 'the clothes make the man,' 'forever and a day,' or any of these other now-common sayings, you've cited Shakespeare. His turns of phrase were unconventional and ingenious, and today they've entered so fully into the English language that they seem to be beyond coinage. We're so steeped in Shakespeare that we're not even aware of it anymore. He was a deft crafter of the English language, and his metaphors have made each of us all the richer as readers and writers."
Mr. C, the Upper School Theater teacher and director had this to say, "To act Shakespeare, is to know Shakespeare. Our students read numerous Shakespeare plays during their time at Keystone, but nothing quite exercises every part of their brains like acting Shakespeare. The complexity of his language and the gravity of his themes challenge our students to convert their analytical skills into acting choices. Every year I'm honored to watch them struggle and grow throughout the process."
Gypsy Pantoja, or Ms. G as the students know her, concurred on the benefits of teaching Shakespeare in school. "I think it's important for everyone, especially students, to learn and perform Shakespeare! The plays continue to be studied, rehearsed & performed to this day because the themes, characters and conflicts can be seen and experienced in our current world. And in every play, MAGIC abounds! Magic is creativity, and imagination! Learning and playing Shakespeare, indeed all theatre, allows the players to step into the shoes of others and role play conflicts that they may experience while using the magic of creative and imaginative problem solving. Shakespeare is timeless!"
As A Midsummer Night's Dream concluded, all of us in the audience leapt to our feet to applaud the magic we had just witnessed. The students had proven their comprehension of Shakespeare's play with witty repartee, perfect comedic timing, and well-coordinated staging. More than that, though, they reaffirmed the beauty and universality of his works in 2021. In addition, they reminded us that even on its best days, Zoom simply cannot replicate the wonders of live theater. It's great to be back!
