Christopher was interviewed recently about his past as a singer and his interest in French music: read interview.
A physics graduate from Cambridge University, Christopher trained as a singer at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Lyon Opera Studio. Speaking fluent French he was readily integrated into several of Lyon Opera's productions, and in particular French language productions. He was the Grandfather Clock and Cat in the award winning video film of Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortilèges. He won the Grand Prix at the Toulouse International Singing Competition, the Grand Prix Paul Derennes for French Mélodie at the Paris International Singing Competition and numerous other prizes for French song.
He has had a busy performing career working for all the major British opera companies, performing operatic roles such as Eisenstein in Die Fledermaus for Welsh National Opera. He has also enjoyed singing in oratorio, but it is as a recitalist, and above all as a singer of French song, that he is best known - recording numerous radio recitals for BBC Radio 3. With his wife and recital partner, mezzo-soprano Janet Shell, he was the first singer to sing live on Classic FM radio.
He now concentrates on education, with an extensive private practice, and a growing interest in choral direction. He was acting Head of Voice at the London College of Music and has also given classes in French song at the Guildhall School of Music and the Royal Academy of Music, and he is widely recognised as one of the most respected French language coaches for singers in Britain.
The development of this site testifies to his continued passion for education and French vocal music.

Proposition 36 ("Prop. 36") is a law passed by California voters that allows judges to order drug treatment rather than jail time for defendants convicted of certain drug-related crimes.
Prop. 36 is defined under California Penal Code Section 1210.1. Prop. 36 is generally available for first time offenders of any non-violent simple drug possession or drug use crimes. The offenders must not have any serious or violent felony convictions on their record. However, Prop. 36 may be available for an offender with a violent felony conviction if the offender has been out of prison for at least five years with no felony or misdemeanor convictions involving violence for five years. Prop. 36 only applies to people charged with simple possession or use. It does not apply to people who are charged with possession for sales.
If qualified, the defendant will plead guilty to the charge(s). The defendant will receive a sentence. Instead of being incarcerated, the judge will place the defendant on formal probation and require that the defendant complete a drug treatment program lasting up to one year.
Outside of the required drug treatment program, the judge has the discretion to set a range of additional conditions of probations to monitor the defendant's progress. This may include random drug tests, regular check-ins with a probation officer, court appearances, requirement to pay treatment costs, and other restrictions on the defendant's lifestyle.
Upon successful completion of the program, the conviction will be set aside and the charge(s) will be dismissed.
Failure to comply with any of the probation conditions may result in a revocation of the probation and the sentence that was previously given to the defendant shall be enforced.
If you violate the terms of your drug diversion program, you could be arrested and sentenced to jail or prison.
The defendant can also violate the conditions of probation from a non-drug related violation, such as failure to appear on a specified court date, or failure to check in with a probation officer.
A non-drug related violation may result in immediate probation termination and the defendant can face up to three years in prison.
For drug-related violations, Prop. 36 gives some leeway depending on the severity and the number of violations. For the first violation, the judge may enforce a more restrictive treatment program. However, the judge can immediately revoke probation if the court finds the defendant is a danger to the safety of others, this would result in defendant receiving the prison sentence had he or she not entered into the Prop. 36 program.
After a third drug-related violation, Prop. 36 is no longer available to the defendant, and the defendant faces sentencing of up to three years in state prison.
Drug Diversion programs are a great option when facing drug crime allegations. However, the choice you make may affect the rest of your life. If you or a loved one is charged with a drug possession case, it is essential that you talk to a criminal defense attorney to help with the best possible defense.
At Wallin & Klarich, we have over 30 years of experience in dealing with drug cases. Our attorneys will inform you of what you are qualified for and what may be your best option. Our attorneys can walk you through the steps of a diversion program. You will know what to expect and know what type of consequences you will be facing if you do not comply with the conditions of probation. Contact us at (877) 466-5245. We will be there when you call.

Should English Be the EU's Main Language?
mai 24, 2013 avril 17, 2018
By Maëlle Alquezar
German President Joachim Gauck's proposal to make English the EU's official language is not only aimed to encourage the UK to stay, but also to reduce costs linked to translation.
According to the Germany's President, such a law would encourage multilingualism as well as reinforcing the European community . However, this proposal also aimed to cut translation costs. Indeed, translation in the EU's headquarters appears to be complicated and is said to be expensive. While all 23 official languages are accepted as working languages in the EU, day-to-day work in the European Commission is based around its three working languages: English, French and German. With the EU's expansion, the number of translators has significantly increased from 200-300 to 2,000-3,000 people. It is reckoned that £257 million is spent each year in translation with 1.76 million pages of work being produced.
What would be the implications of such a policy?
First of all, not all the EU's member states would welcome English as an official language. While northern and eastern countries might accept it, southern member states might be outraged. But above all, imposing English as the official language would be profoundly undemocratic according to Diego Marani – an Italian novelist who is in charge of promoting multilingualism at the European Commission. Marani states that the total cost of EU translation work would only be equivalent to the cost of two coffees for each person a year, which is a cheap price to pay for democracy .
But even if EU translation work were expensive, it is the only fair way to implement policies. After all, the EU is said to be in favour of linguistic diversity and making English the official language would be breaking its prior commitments.
What about you? What do you think about English becoming official language of the EU?

Spotlight on Jess Melville, our Australia representative
Tell me a little about yourself: I'm Jess (the Other Jess, for those that know the wonderful Jess Gao!) I live in sunny Sydney with my husband and our three children. I started out my professional life as an optometrist – that's right, checking people's eyes. I actually got sick of all the interacting with people, and not feeling like I was making much of a difference in the world. So I decided to make a big career switch, and finance seemed so dynamic and tangibly linked with the real world on a big scale. Via some roles in stockbroking and the buy side I ended up at what was then Watson Wyatt in the middle of the financial crisis.
What has been the highlight of your career so far? Getting to speak with the travelling TAI roadshow in Australia. I love their work, but even more I love how they take it to investors, so it was a real thrill to be part of that!
What is your favourite thing about working for TAI? I've always admired TAG and TAI from afar, ever since I joined the company. It's now such a privilege to be working closely with such a smart bunch of people who really understand the privilege and responsibility we have as an industry.
What motivates you? For me its all about purpose – to make a difference to the lives of the mums and dads whose savings we advise, and more broadly to leave the world a better place than when we found it.
As a child what did you want to be when you grew up? I always wanted to help people. My parents are nurses so I guess I sort of followed in their footsteps into optometry. But I was drawn to the scale and impact that the world of finance can have on our world and on people's lives.
Where is your favourite place to go to unwind? Outdoors – preferably a beach, or by the water, but anywhere outside and in the sun will do.
If you could give your younger self one piece of advice what would it be? Don't worry about what you want to be when you grow up, because 'grown up' is not a destination.
Who have been the strongest influences in your life? My dad – he was and still is the ultimate gender role model. When we were growing up, he and my mum split all household chores 50/50 – child care, cleaning, cooking. Their work enabled this. He and mum are still very involved in looking after my kids while we work.
Who does the cooking in your household? My husband mostly. I make the kids' birthday cakes though!

TPM: Schakowsky Unveils Progressive Deficit Reduction Plan
Schakowsky Unveils Progressive Deficit Reduction Plan
by Brian Beutler
A member of the White House's fiscal commission has released her own progressive plan for deficit reduction, after the commission's chairmen unveiled recommendations she vehemently opposes.
"Their proposal would have serious consequences for lower and middle class Americans, and that is why I cannot support it," says Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) in a statement. "I am releasing my own plan today because I believe that there is a better way to achieve our goal - one that protects the poor and the middle-class."
Her plan, which she claims would achieve fiscal balance by 2015, includes a host of ideas that were not included in the report released last week by Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles. It makes provision for another $200 billion worth of stimulus to take the form of unemployment insurance extensions and additional aid to states.
On spending, the Schakowski plan calls for $8.55 billion in non-defense discretionary spending cuts in 2015, largely by endingoverpayments by federal agencies for various programs, including Medicaid. She says her plan would save over $110 billion on the defense side, by reducing overseas troop deployments, and shrinking the nuclear arsenal, among numerous other options.
By adding a robust public option to the health care law and requiring Medicare to bargain down drug prices, among other options, Schakowsky says she can save over $17 billion of mandatory spending in 2015.
Schakowsky proposes to limit the extent to which corporations can deduct interest payments on debt, and close a loophole that allows firms to avoid paying taxes on income earned overseas -- reforms she says would save over $100 billion in 2015. She would also require dividends and capital gains to be taxed as ordinary income (i.e., at higher rates than they are now, in many cases), and would erect a cap and trade system for greenhouse gas emissions, generating over $140 billion in revenue.
Her plan for Social Security involves no benefit cuts: She would erase the long-term shortfall by, among other things, eliminating the Social Security payroll tax cap on the employer side.
It's worth noting that her plan does not address the cost growth of Medicare and Medicaid, which are the single biggest driver of long-term deficits in the long-term.

What does "Finesse" "Finessed" or "Finessing" mean?
in DICTIONARY
by DailyRapFacts June 29, 2020, 5:08 pm updated November 23, 2020, 12:17 pm
What does "Finesse" mean? and does it mean to Finesse or be Finessed?
The term "Finesse" is a noun that can also be used as a verb. A lot of people claim the term finesse as a slang started in Chicago, Illinois due to the drill music scene. Migos and Speaker Knockerz were the first rappers to use finesse in 2013.
Finesse initially meant skill and manueving through a situation with ease but over time it's been used to mean stealing or taking something in a sneaky manner.
Finessed is a past tense of Finesse and it means you got what you were looking for skillfully or by tricking the other side.
Finessing means actively getting what you want by tricking the other side.
The term "Finesse", "Finessed", and "Finessing" has been used by Kendrick Lamar, Lil Pump, Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj, Kodak Black, Drake, and many more rappers.

No old (nor broken) records here
Richard Horton in the Lancet writes:
Imagine if the entire edifice of knowledge in medicine was built upon a falsehood. Systematic reviews are said to be the highest standard of evidence-based health care. Regularly updated to ensure that treatment decisions are built on the most up-to-date and reliable science, systematic reviews and meta-analyses are widely used to inform clinical guidelines and decision making. Powerful organisations have emerged to construct a knowledge base in medicine underpinned by the results of systematic reviews. One such organisation is Cochrane, with 11 000 members in over 130 countries. This extraordinary movement of people is justifiably passionate about the idea that it is contributing to better health outcomes for everyone, everywhere. The industry that drives the production of systematic reviews today is financed by some of the most influential agencies in medical research. Cochrane, for example, points to three funders providing over £1 million each—the UK's National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
Well, it really is a bit late for all this soul searching. See my earlier post here 'Mega-silliness' (commenting on what others had already pointed out); or my Evidence Based Medicine: the Epistemology That Isn't, written over 20 years ago; and my contribution to the wake (even if I didn't put my hand in my pocket), Why we should let "evidence-based medicine" rest in peace. The genesis of EBM was as a cult whose foundational myth was that P values could act as a true machine. Those followers who had originally hoped for a place in the promised afterlife, soon settled for paying the bills, and EBM morphed into a career opportunity for those who found accountancy too daring. So, pace John Mayall on Jazz Blues Fusion, don't come here to listen to an old record. I promise.

Dentists these days don't have to be such a scary experience. In fact, one particular dental office in midtown Manhattan is calling itself a dental spa, indicating that it can actually be a very positive, relaxing experience. For comfortable dentistry in the midtown area, check out 209 NYC Dental.
Yes it seems that midtown Manhattan is a recommended location for a wedding. Indeed, according to a recent article by Andrea Billups about the five most sacred places to tie the knot in the United States, St. Patrick's Cathedral, located in Midtown Manhattan, is THE top choice. It is known for its elevated grandiose nature. This sanctuary was built in the style of neo-Gothism and provides for a lengthy walk from the entrance to the altar. Indeed, it looks as imposing as if royalty were to wed there. With soaring ceilings and historical tale, it truly is an unforgettable choice for nuptials.
The other four that Billups listed were: The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, also in New York City, followed by Number 3: The Washington National Cathedral, New Orleans' St. Louis Cathedral and finally the Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansasa.

Q: Summing (and multiplying) the rows in a coulmn - R I am trying to sum (and multiply) all my rows in a table to the final output would be just one row and multiple columns.
My data looks like this:
##      Typ-1 1m Typ-1 2m Typ-2 1m Typ-2 2m Typ-3 1m Typ-3 2m Typ-4 1m
##   1        15      119        3       28        3       20        1
##   2         1       88        0       23        0       18        1
##   3         0       65        0       17        0       11        0
##   4         3       49        0       14        0        4        0
##   5         0       41        0        6        0        1        0
##   6         0       16        0        0        0        3        0
##   7         0        4        0        4        0        2        0

each row represents how manny of the items were bought. For example the 4th row in the first column "Typ-1 1m" says that we sold 12 items --> (4*3)
I would like my final output to be across all columns as te summary of each rows, however the number of a row must first multiply with the value in a row.
the output in a first coulmn would look like this: (15*1)+(1*2)+(3*4)=29
I have no idea how to solve this in R.
I have only managed to print out a table.. I would appreciate the help!

A: We multiply the 'dat' with the row of that and get the column sums (colSums)
colSums(dat*row(dat))
#   Typ.1_1m Typ.1_2m Typ.2_1m Typ.2_2m Typ.3_1m Typ.3_2m Typ.4_1m
#      29     1015        3      239        3      142        3


Ultrasonic sensors offer multiple sensing ranges from short to long (up to 6 m, 19.7 ft). Available in a variety of tubular and block style housings, these sensors have a rugged industrial IP65 or IP67 protection rating. With discrete, analog or combination output configuration options, the ultrasonic sensor family has been designed to work with many industry-standard controllers. The ultrasonic sensors have programmable setpoints and operating modes.

Q: How to automatically enter sudo's grace period upon CLI login? What I would like to do is be able to login and sudo commands immediately without entering a password again. It is very redundant to type my password twice in a row when I need to login and run a privileged command. I understand the security risk which requires us to reenter a password when we've been away for awhile but it seems like login should automatically set this session by default to prevent this but it doesn't for some reason.
I am aware of these solutions but they both rely on gdm and I appear to only have LightDM installed for starters. Furthermore, I don't login to a GUI interface and AFAIK the console doesn't use either of these to manage logins in the first place.
I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 in VMware if that matters. I do have a KDE installed but I don't usually load it unless I have a reason to.
The ideal solution would also work from SSH logins.
Update:
Based on Gilles' suggestions I now have this working setup:
~ tail -n1 /etc/pam.d/sshd
session optional pam_exec.so seteuid /usr/local/sbin/update_sudo_ticket

and (be sure to use sudo visudo to edit sudoers)
~  sudo head -n12 /etc/sudoers|tail -n1
Defaults        !tty_tickets

and create a new script
~ cat /usr/local/sbin/update_sudo_ticket
#!/bin/sh
touch -c "/var/lib/sudo/$PAM_USER" 2>/dev/null

and make it executable ( sudo chmod u=+rwx,g=+rx-w,o=-rwx /usr/local/sbin/update_sudo_ticket ):
~  ls -la /usr/local/sbin/update_sudo_ticket
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 57 Sep 21 20:52 /usr/local/sbin/update_sudo_ticket

A: You can use pam_exec to invoke an external command. Beware that pam_exec runs in an environment that is under the control of the user who calls the login service, so don't invoke it from su, only from services with a predictable environment such as sshd or login.
sudo has no option to update a user's time stamp, only to remove it. So you'll have to update the time stamp manually. If you aren't using the tty_tickets option (which is not very useful), all you need to do is update the timestamp on the directory.

Every entrepreneur knows that starting a business is no easy task, even if it's something as simple as a bakery. One must put in loads of effort and spend hours and hours on planning everything so that the enterprise can run smoothly once things get going.

Saves the company water-related expenses – a residence already spends a considerable amount of water in a day, it should be no surprise that the average company consumes a very large amount of water in the same day. However, water bills for companies are not high simply because of the large water consumption, but also due to other factors. The ability to cut down these water bills by a significant percentage simply through installing a rainwater storage tank makes the idea appealing to just about any company in the world (which of course is not stationed in an arid region!).
Useful during emergencies – you might not find rainwater tanks useful during emergencies, but when you consider the probability of a fire breaking out, you probably realize that the same tank in question could likely double as a makeshift fire fighting rainwater tanks for sale. Whilst fire is the main example for an emergency where the presence of a rainwater tank is beneficial, it is by no means the only instance where a tank can do much good for everyone around.
Let's the company reduce their environmental damage – you might think that using water is a relatively innocuous exercise, but when you consider the amount of water taken up for industrial purposes – and, not to add, the state in which that very same water is released back into the environment – it is only natural that the impact on the environment is more negative that it is positive. And when you consider today's global citizens and their increasing awareness of pollution and other ecological issues, a company only stands to profit by going green and energy-efficient. Relying on rainwater whenever possible contributes to the company's green image, and in turn can bolster its reputation (all the while helping the environment).
Earns the company tax credits – and of course, the above advantage can also translate into tax credits and other financial advantages for your company. Governments in most countries are keen to promote sustainable energy methods and green practices, and the incorporation of rainwater into business operations is bound to earn any company financial benefits from the government, mostly in the form of tax credits and the like.

Maverick PRO-SYSTEM from Maverick Slacklines on Vimeo.
Here's some tips on how to set your line up and get slacklining.
Been out on the SlackLiner and its Top Of The Popps, Love It !
Why does the anchor point circumference have to be 1m?
So great to hear your loving your slackline!
the anchor points just need to be strong enough to handle the job….
trees with 1m circumference are going to be able to take a slackline set up.
But it really depends on what kind of tree / anchor you are using!
Hi, i've never tried slacklining before but would love to give it a go. i have a swing set very similar to this http://www.outdoortoysdirect.co.uk/images/products/amca/Amca_Concept_Triple_Swing_Plusn.jpg but it has an extra pole at the ends going to the floor, it's about 10m wide and quite sturdy. Would it be suitable to set up a slack line on? Also, is it legal to set up slacklines in public parks such as hyde park or regents park and is there any documentation i should carry to prove it?
Tree protection needed but stickers left on the tree is okay? haa I like it. Looks fun, quite fancy getting into it to do some high-lining.
What material did you use as tree protection in the video?
website regularly, if so then you will absolutely obtain fastidious know-how.
Hi there, we have a great maverick pro system in the garden. Is it ok to leave it set-up for the summer, or should we be taking it down each day? Thanks, Matty.

Popemobile Donated to Holy Land Franciscans
The Franciscan Foundation for the Holy Land (FFHL) has announced that the popemobile used in Bethlehem by Pope Francis during his pilgrimage of peace last May has been donated to the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land by the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas.
According to the Franciscan Media Center, the popemobile will be permanently displayed near Manger Square in Bethlehem, the plaza that fronts the Church of the Nativity, the traditional pilgrimage site of Jesus' birth.
Father Peter Vasko, ofm, president of the FFHL, was in Bethlehem the day Pope Francis visited. He was one of four Franciscans chosen to present Pope Francis will an honorary plaque.
"I'm elated," Father Peter said. "The Pope's visit did so much to inspire hope here in the Holy Land. The popemobile will serve as a great reminder of that hope."
Brother Ibrahim Faltas, ofm, is the bursar for the Franciscan Custody. "We decided to put the car here so that every tourist, every pilgrim who will pass through here – so that all who come through here on their way to the Nativity – will be able to see this car."
Hussein Al-Araj, head of the Office of the President of the National Palestinian Authority spoke to the importance of the donation of the popemobile by saying, "This car has many meanings, since the Pope has used it… without needing a car to come from the Vatican or Italy. It is an important car because it was made by Palestinian hands."
Not only is the popemobile important to the Christians of the Holy Land because it was made in the Holy Land, but it is also a reminder of the purpose of Pope Francis' pilgrimage which was to promote peace.

The patent application (dug up by TheSixthAxis) shows that, while the idea for the "Hybrid Separable Motion Controller" is some kind of bold, the execution is mostly what you'd expect. It's just two Move-orbs jammed on top of a slightly more rectangular Sixaxis. Each half of this bad boy is also stuffed with an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, vibration capability, and (ooh!) a speaker.

The pain and suffering Marsy's family endured after her death is typical for family members of murder victims. They were not informed Marsy's murderer had been released because the courts and law enforcement, though well-meaning, had no obligation to keep them informed. While criminals have more than 20 individuals rights spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, the surviving family members of murder victims have none.

There's only one requirement for authentic pasta all'Amatriciana
Jeff Cioletti
Next time you see pasta all'Amatriciana (more often than not, it's bucatini all'Amatriciana) on a menu, don't order it. I'm serious. Kind of. You're better off making it yourself so you can see that it includes its most important ingredient.
See, I fell in love with the stuff after the first several times I had it at various New Jersey BYOB joints (my home state is quite stingy with the liquor licenses). But my beloved turned out to be a complete fraud. And, oddly enough, I didn't learn this until a few years ago when I was in a high-end restaurant in Las Vegas. Pasta all'Amatriciana was on the menu, so I ordered it, and it was better than any other version I'd ever had.
"That's the guanciale," the waiter said. (Please cut me some slack for my ignorance; I'd only been eating meat again for a year at that point following a long bout of vegetarianism).
Turns out that the import of guanciale, or cured pig jowl, had been banned by the FDA for decades, along with a vast array of other cured Italian delights. Prosciutto de Parma was the rare delicacy that was exempt. That didn't mean American purveyors couldn't make their own guanciale, but there just wasn't enough of a market for it in the U.S. for those versions to be pervasive.
It's still not the easiest meat to find, but its availability has expanded somewhat now that folks are more keen on authenticity in their recipes. It helps that it's also the traditional pork product used to make spaghetti carbonara. American menus are more likely to feature Amatriciana and carbonara with pancetta or even bacon, but I'd argue you guanciale brings a richness that other pork products simply cannot replicate. Pancetta's a serviceable substitute and there's probably no harm in ordering a dish made with it, but just know that it'll be a mediocre facsimile of the real, guanciale-flavored thing. (I mean, just think about how soft and supple human jowls can be. Then imagine them on a pig! That makes for some very tasty meat.)
Amatriciana gets its name from its place of origin, the mountainous town of Amatrice in Italy's Lazio region. It didn't take long for it to become a staple of Roman cuisine—Rome, also in Lazio, is about 85 miles from Amatrice—just as carbonara has. Guanciale's a specialty in Lazio, so it makes sense that the two of the Italian capital's signature pasta dishes include it. The third, cacio e pepe, is meatless, but you can bet that if the recipe called for pig flesh, it would be guanciale.
Some versions of Amatriciana call for onions, while others don't. Onions have become fairly typical in the Roman iterations, so I've always used them in mine. However, they're mostly absent from the original Amatrice dish.
Bucatini usually has been my go-to pasta shape for the dish, as that's the way it's served at restaurants that make the most authentic versions. I've started mixing it up a bit since I visited Rome a couple of years ago and discovered that it's just as common to get Amatriciana with rigatoni there. When I'm serving it at a dinner party and introducing guests to it for the first time, I stick with bucatini. I get more flexible when I'm just cooking it for my wife and me. It really depends on my mood.
The hardest part of making Amatriciana is, as I've mentioned, the most important: finding the guanciale. There are recipes all over the internet for making your own, but unless you're a hardcore meat-curing hobbyist, I'd advise against it. It should only take a couple of phone calls to high-end butcher shops, gourmet markets, and Italian delis to find someone local that carries it. Some online gourmet sites also sometimes carry it. I was lucky enough to find two places in my city that sell it, typically charging around $2.50 an ounce. I swear, though, it's worth every penny (and it's not like you're going to be making amatriciana every week, so treat yo' self). Once you've procured this divine meat, the rest is super simple.
Bucatini All'Amatriciana (a lá Jeff)
2-3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 pound of bucatini pasta
1/2 pound guanciale, chopped into ½-inch chunks
1 medium-to-large-size onion, minced (1 cup's worth)
1 can (28 oz.) of San Marzano tomatoes (make sure the can says "D.O.P."), hand-crushed or lightly crushed in a blender/food processor
5 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano, plus a little extra for serving
3/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
3/4 tsp. sea salt, plus more to taste
Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Add the guanciale and cook until it starts to get crispy and a little brown, about 7 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the red pepper flakes and let their flavor infuse the oil for about 30 seconds. Add the onion and stir for about a minute. Next, add the garlic and cook until it softens and starts to get some golden-brown spots, about 7-8 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and salt. Bring to a simmer and then lower the heat and let cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring regularly. Test for salt and add more if necessary. (Don't go too crazy because the guanciale provides ample flavor.) Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt the water once it starts boiling. Add pasta and cook until it is just shy of al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of the pasta water and then strain the pasta.
Add the pasta to the tomato-sauce pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the pasta water little by little to prevent it from getting too dry. Stir in the Pecorino Romano. Serve with a little extra Pecorino if desired.

By the way, Walter still stinks… badly! PJ's slight bubble production indicates he may be inching (millimetering?) into phase 3 already: developing more acid-tolerant bacteria.
After giving them their final (we assume) shot of rye – and pineapple juice to PJ – they get a stir and settle in for the rest of the day.
Tomorrow, they graduate to UAP and water. Like grown up boys!
Wally is sleeping (and still stinking) but PJ has decided to get active. That's about a 50% expansion there from the last feed level. The aroma is still primarily of pineapple and I expect this masks any other aromas that may actually be present, like slight yeasty or sour smells. Once we begin to discard and switch to UAP (Unbleached All Purpose) and switch off juice to water, we'll be able to discern what we've got going on here a lot easier. Likewise, the fresh UAP and water will help clear out the stinky bacteria from Wally's jar.
Wally at this point is probably just beginning the stage PJ has been at for the last three days (thanks to the acid in the pineapple juice) so we may not see similar activity from him for a few days more.
Hi there! I'm following along here and am in the evening of day 3 (feeding in the morning). So far I am seeing no activity at all. Should I continue with day/step 4 or should I keep adding whole wheat flour and pineapple juice until I see the kind of activity shown here? I've worked with sourdough before, but never managed to make my own starter before and I would REALLY like to!
Move to Day 4 where you switch off whole grain and pineapple and use all purpose and water. You'll see the first line includes "and once daily until it starts to expand and smell yeasty". So day four is where you "repeat as needed". You don't need any more pineapple juice, the pH is low enough, and you have set up enough good yeasties to get things going. They just need a bit more time to wake up.
Don't forget the most important ingredient is… patience. It will get there, slow and steady.
OK – Here is the skinny on Mina!
Feed her the last PJ and rye at 9:17 am and 10 hours later she is just 50 % of her formal self.
Yep – temps have had an effect on her expansion (sp).
I'm looking forward to 12/11/10 to see what she will do.
Indeed, temps have a very definite effect on the activity of a starter. If you can, do try to find a warmer spot for the starter to spend the day in. It doesn't have to live in the kitchen either.
If it's a few degrees warmer next to the computer or TV which are on all day (even if the screen is off), then that's where it could go. Or on top of the fridge (heat coming up the back from the coils) or in an oven with just the light on – but check it isn't TOO hot first. Some ovens are well sealed and one light can get the temps quite high (i.e. over 100ºF) after some time. So turn the light on with a thermometer inside and check the temp after one hour and two hours. You may need to crack open the door with a rolled towel to adjust the temp.
Even next to a table lamp that can be on all the time will be a few degrees warmer.
You want it mid 70's to mid 80's ºF, definitely nothing past the 90's though.
And if you do put it in the oven, tape a note on the oven knob so no one forgets to take it out before turning the oven on.
The oven light creates an environment that is too hot – in the mid 90's.
Thank you for other possible options to warm her up a little bit.
Yes, the cooler temperature will slow things down some so you're looking at adding a few extra days. Once you've passed the "stinky" stage, your starter will begin to develop the yeasties you are looking for, but this does take a bit of time. The thing to keep in mind is that these critters will take whatever time they need to get where they need to. But they will eventually get there. As in everything else bread, patience is a highly important ingredient in anything you make, including the starter.
Keep it (covered of course) near the back of the fridge so it catches the warmth of the coils in back and that should help get things moving soon enough.

Pelosi, DNC Chair Criticize Trump Economic Policies Despite Job Growth
MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace: It's 'Awesome' Omarosa Secretly Taped Trump
Street Artist Creates Multiple Trump Walk of Fame Stars to Confuse Vandals
by Accuracy In Media on August 10, 2018
An anonymous street artist fought back against those trying to vandalize President Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame by creating multiple fake stars overnight.
Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — that has been destroyed on several occasions — mysteriously multiplied over night so that on Aug. 9 there were 30 stars https://t.co/gPVnCyNPY3
— Hollywood Reporter (@THR) August 9, 2018
From the Hollywood Reporter:
The effort comes from a conservative street artist who wishes to remain anonymous, but says he was motivated not only by the destruction of the president's real star, but also a recent unanimous vote by the West Hollywood City Council to recommend the removal of Trump's star due to accusations he has mistreated women.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and Los Angeles City Council haven't weighed in on the matter, but those who oppose the proposal note that others in Hollywood who have also been accused of mistreating women still have stars on the Walk of Fame, most notably Bill Cosby.
The anonymous artist says he's not done with his mission to preserve Trump's star. "Rip up the president's Walk of Fame star or try to have it removed — like you're the mayor of West Hollywood or something — and 30 more will pop up," the artist tells The Hollywood Reporter.
The artist and his cohorts, who call themselves "The Faction" and are allies of prolific conservative artist Sabo, spent $1,000 on the stars, which they printed on sheets of floor vinyl with adhesive backing, and their mission was partially financed by "a young and anonymous entrepreneur."
The crew laminated the vinyl stars and placed them on blank squares on the Walk of Fame, though kept them covered until all were secured into place so that onlookers would not know exactly what was happening.
"I didn't want to get hit over the head from behind. We thought Trump Derangement Syndrome was a joke, but I'm pretty sure it's real," the artist said. "If no one peels these off, they could last there for 10 years."
Trump's star has been vandalized at least twice since 2016, with a pickax as well as being defaced with a reverse swastika.

Taken for granted as an everyday occurrence, we sometimes forget the natural wonder of sunrise and sunset until we venture abroad and take the time out of our day to admire this phenomenon in all its glory. We're taking a look at some of our favourite places in the world to appreciate the beauty of dawn and dusk; at different times, in different settings and in different ways.

As the first environmentally aware resort in Mauritius, its infrastructure consists of 1,000sqm of solar panels, as well as composting, waste water collection and treatment plants which mean you can admire the natural scenery with peace of mind! Breakfast may be served in the privacy of your lavish villa, so we suggest you take advantage of this and order breakfast in bed as the sun rises across your terrace and pool – what a way to begin your day.
Dusk in Santorini is so significant, the sun gets a round of applause when it sets. Most commonly depicted as blanketing the blue-domed churches with amber light, you'll be able to capture your postcard-perfect sunset snap in the village of Oia. Located on the north western cliffs of the island, it is typically Greek with white houses, island flags and church bells, enhanced by the beauty of the sunset over the Aegean Sea. Due to its popularity, Oia has become a hotspot for tourists so don't expect to be alone in your admiration, but the small markets are great for grabbing a bottle of wine to toast your evening. A little further down the island, you'll find Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort, Santorini in the medieval village of Megalohori, a quieter spot to retreat to once the sunset spectacle ends. Luxurious and intimate, the resort's quaint grounds of winding pathways, hidden cellars and 100-year-old stone walls are surrounded by vineyards, providing a charming and relaxed island escape.
The eclectic landscape of Majorca, with versatile flora and fauna as well as soaring mountains and cliff faces mean it offers some of the most stunning sunrises and sunsets in Europe. Yet sunset dinners need not be reserved for romancing couples, at Jumeirah Port Soller, the Sunset Sushi Lounge invites groups of friends to sample creative and traditional sushi and Asian nibbles in a sociable setting. The covered outdoor terrace boasts dramatic 180-degree views of the historic port and Tramuntana Mountain Range which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, making it a truly spectacular vantage point to witness the colourful sunset.

Seducing honeymooners for many years now, Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island offers sun-seekers endless opportunities to take in the glow of the ocean and Mt Otemanu with open-air dining, beach yoga and sea kayaking in the coral gardens. A little further along the South Pacific archipelago, Moorea is a heart-shaped island of volcanic mountains, lush rainforest and sandy edges. Sofitel Moorea Ia Ora faces the sunrise side of the island, so why not wake up early and admire it from your balcony before jumping into the sparkling waters for a morning snorkel?

Nokia France
Microsoft officially replaces Nokia name with Lumia
The rebranding exercise will start with France with the company's regional social network accounts set to being renamed from Nokia to Microsoft Lumia.Anupam Saxena | TOI Tech | October 22, 2014, 12:35 IST
NEW DELHI: It's almost official! Microsoft is in the process of replacing the Nokia brandname with Microsoft Lumia.
The rebranding exercise will start with France with the company's regional social network accounts set to being renamed from Nokia to Microsoft Lumia. It communicated the same via a Facebook post. Nokia France's Twitter account also posted a link to the post. Following the post, the Redmond giant confirmed the move to The Verge it would start the rebranding exercise in other countries in the coming weeks.
The move comes shortly after Microsoft rebranding Nokia's native apps to Lumia and launched new Microsoft Mobile Devices site redirecting users from the Nokia.com mobile website.
Although Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's handsets division was completed in April for $7.2 billion, we've still seen devices released under the Finnish brand over the past several months. The company's recently launched Lumia 730 and 830 phones sport Nokia branding but it's believed the two devices are the last ones to carry that name.
It's also expected that Microsoft will soon do away with the 'Phone' in the name of its mobile operating system Windows Phone. During the unveiling of Windows 10, Microsoft had announced that it will merge all platforms under a single Windows product.
It's worth pointing out that Nokia still exists as a brand and a separate company based in Finland that focuses on location based services including Here maps, and network equipment.

But is any of the above true? Well let's look at the facts.
Aspartame is made up of two amino acids (building blocks of protein), L-aspartic acid & L-phenylalanine, both of which are naturally occurring in the human body- not exactly toxic then.
The studies that have shown Aspartame to be cancerous were carried out on rodents. So, has very little to no relevance to human consumption. And the dosage amount giving to the rodents? Well, it was the equivalent amount of drinking 10,000 cans of Coke in one go!
As far as weight gain? Well, this all comes down to calorie consumption. If you drink fizzy juice and are gaining weight, it's because you're in a calorie surplus, not because you are consuming Aspartame.
Headaches? Most likely down to poor diet. If you reach for a fizzy drink and poor quality foods before you do a glass of water or healthy foods, you're more likely to have headaches.
So, for the time being at least, there is no reason to stress over the Aspartame in your soft drinks, just enjoy them as part of a healthy, balanced & calorie conscious lifestyle.
