A Aa is a 2016 Indian Telugu-language romantic comedy family film written and directed by Trivikram Srinivas and produced by S. Radha Krishna of Haarika & Hassine Creations. The film stars Nithiin, Samantha and Anupama Parameswaran. Mickey J Meyer composed the score and soundtrack.

The film is loosely based on the novel Meena written by Yaddanapudi Sulochana Rani, which has earlier been adapted into the 1973 film Meena by  Vijaya Nirmala, starring Krishna. The plot follows Anasuya Ramalingam, daughter of Mahalakshmi, a rich and strict businesswoman, who falls in love with her cousin, Anand, an ex-chef when she is sent to visit her aunt in a village.

Launched officially in September 2015, the film's principal photography took place in October 2015 and ended in April 2016. The film was released on 2 June 2016, after multiple postponements. Samantha won several accolades including a Best Actress award at the 64th Filmfare Awards South and Best Performance in a Leading Role at the 2nd IIFA Utsavam Awards, for her portrayal as Anasuya Ramalingam. The film was successful at the box office, and stood as the eighth highest-grossing Telugu film of 2016.

Plot
A Aa revolves around the lives of 23-year-old Anasuya Ramalingam and Anand Vihari and their families. Anand, a former chef, runs an e-foods business in Hyderabad. He belongs to a middle-class family with responsibilities to fulfill, like getting his sister Bhanumathi married and paying off debts (his father is dead).

Anasuya is the daughter of a rich and strict mother named Mahalakshmi. Anasuya has never really got along with her mother, while being very close to her father, Ramalingam, who doesn't talk much against Mahalakshmi. When her mother goes on a business trip, her father Ramalingam sends her to visit her extended family in Kalavapudi village near Vijayawada to avoid a matchmaking for her. On the train ride there, she meets her cousin Aanand, whom her father asked to accompany her back to his home.

While she happily discovers the joy of being at her maternal uncle's house in Kalavapudi, she and Anand playfully butt heads through a series of comical situations. But she also discovers that Anand is being coerced into to marrying a girl in the village, Nagavalli, due to Aanand's family being in debt to Nagavalli's father, Pallam Venkanna, and Nagavalli loving Anand. Anand is not interested, but unable to turn down the proposal from Nagavalli's father, he keeps deferring it using his sister Bhanu's marriage as an excuse.

One day when Nagavalli comes to their house, she takes an instant disliking to Anasuya upon learning she is Anand's cousin. Anasuya decides to frustrate her further by acting close with Anand in front of her. An irked Nagavalli gets her father to call Anasuya's father and threatens to inform Mahalakshmi that Anasuya is currently in Kalavupudi. There is some backstory as to why Mahalakshmi doesn't like her brother's family - which is revealed later. Ramalingam resolves the situation, but Mahalakshmi's secretary eavesdropped on the phone call and decides to call her anyway. Ramalingam maintains his calm but quickly calls Anand and asks him to bring Anasuya back to the city before Mahalakshmi returns from Chennai. Aanand manages to convince Nagavalli to lend him a jeep, which she agrees to only because Anasuya is leaving the village, and gets her back home before her mother returns.

Back at home, Anasuya now realises her love for Anand. However, Mahalakshmi has already arranged her marriage with a rich guy named Shekhar, which got intentionally canceled by Ramalingam in Anasuya's favor without revealing their identity. She defers meeting him twice, but eventually is forced to meet at a golf course. There, she accidentally hits the ball straight in his face and also injures the caddie. When Anu takes Shekar to the hospital, she runs into Anand and Bhanu. He reveals that his mother has been hospitalized after Pallam Venkanna ridiculed their family status and Bhanu's lack of marriage prospects in an attempt to make it seem like he was doing them a favour by allowing Anand to marry his daughter. Although Anasuya is happy to see Anand and Bhanu, she is saddened by this news. To make matters worse, she sees that Nagavalli and her father are also at the hospital. She then asks Anand if Bhanu can stay with her at her family's place as they became close friends during her time in Kalavupudi. Anand agrees but gives permission for only for a day.

Anasuya brings her home and reveals to Mahalakshmi that Bhanu is Anand's sister. Mahalakshmi initially refuses to let Bhanu in but agrees later. She reveals that she had taken a loan from Anand's father(Mahalakshmi's brother), Krishnamoorthy, for business, and when she came to return the money, they had refused and closed the door on her face because Anand's father died. She warns Anasuya to be careful with Bhanu. Later that night Bhanu sees Shekhar's photo and says that he is good-looking. Anasuya again gets an idea, and next day, takes her to a mall and makes a deal with Bhanu. Bhanu had Anasuya help her ruin a proposal that came while she was staying with her, so now Anasuya says Bhanu owes her the same favour. As this plan unfolds, Shekar starts to fall in love with Bhanu. At one point, Shekar's grandfather mistakes Bhanu for Anasuya and even he agrees for their marriage.

In the meantime, Anasuya finally confesses her feelings to Anand. But he reveals that Mahalakshmi delaying and then refusing to return the money she borrowed from his father all those years ago, was the reason for his father's death. Krishnamoorthy's properties and wealth that he had put as collateral for Mahalakshmi's business came up for auction after 4 years (Mahalakshmi promised to give it back in 2 years) and when he asked Mahalakshmi to give back the money, she refused and cited that it's not the end of the world for him if their ancestral land got auctioned off. Unable to take the humiliation in the village, Krishnamoorthy committed suicide before the auction took place, warning Anand in his suicide note to not sacrifice his happiness for other people's happiness. Anand also says Anasuya's father wasn't there for them when he was needed to stand up against her mother for what she was doing. He is unsure how both families will ever agree to their marriage.

Mahalakshmi discovers that Shekhar loves Bhanu and not her daughter and locks her up. This angers Anasuya, who meets Anand and urges him to elope with her. He refuses, and this angers her more, and she starts walking aimlessly. She gets kidnapped by Pallam Venkanna's henchmen. Anand manages to save her, just in time for her engagement with Shekar and leaves with Bhanu. He reveals to Bhanu that he loves Anasuya, and she urges him to reveal the truth to Anasuya. He goes back to her engagement party and confesses his love, saying that he will keep her happy in any way she wants. Mahalakshmi demands Anand to let go of her daughter, but Anand confronts her for how she cheated his father out of the money she owed him. In the end, he leaves with Anasuya.

When Anasuya and Anand reach his house, she is surprised to see her parents there. Her father reveals that as soon as Anasuya and Anand left, Mahalakshmi had a panic attack, but he managed to calm her down and get through to her about why they should let them be together. In the end, both families make amends for their past mistakes. Shekar also visits soon after to ask for Bhanu's hand in marriage.

And lastly, Nagavalli seems to be coping with the fact that Anand isn't going to marry her...but she then says to her father that if the pair were to separate one day, Anand would return to her.

Captivating Photos of Detroit Delve Deep to Reveal a Beautiful, Struggling City
Pete Brook
In the past 40 years, the number of people living in the city of Detroit has halved. This has lead many to write it off – in many ways, wrongly – as a decrepit ghost town. Unbroken Down is a photo project that counters the images of abandoned buildings with personal, vibrant shots of everyday life in Detroit.

In the past 40 years, the number of people living in the city of Detroit has halved. This has led many to write it off – in many ways, wrongly – as a decrepit ghost town. Unbroken Down is a photo project that counters the images of abandoned buildings with personal, vibrant shots of everyday life in Detroit.
Photographer Dave Jordano – fresh out of college after being born and raised in the Motor City – was part of the exodus when he headed for Chicago to start a commercial photography studio in the late '70s. Jordano's father worked for General Motors and joked that motor oil ran in the family's veins. Three years ago, Jordano returned to Detroit and began photographing the neighborhoods, people, vistas and communities of his hometown. His resulting body of work is an endearing and sprawling document of a city close to his heart.
"This is the most emotional work I've made," he says. "I don't get tired and I just keep wanting to go back. I find more and more material every time I go."
Unbroken Down is also an attempt to set the photographic record straight. Jordano believes that Detroit is more than a tale of decline and images of the associated urban decay. Yet, a lot of celebrated photography projects made in Detroit recently have focused on ruination as if the apocalypse passed through and kept going.
"Detroit is still a living city. Why hasn't this been part of the equation?" asks Jordano of most photographic output. (There are exceptions.)
Jordano understands why "Ruin Porn" – the term given to the recent trend in photography that fetishizes decay – exists. He himself made photographs of dilapidated buildings initially. It took a week before he realized he wasn't adding anything new to photography's vocabulary.
"You can't help but be drawn to ruins. Everyone has gone to Detroit for that reason," says Jordano. "But images of ruins are so pictorial and picturesque, you can almost overlook the tragedy of it all."
Of every three Detroit residents, one lives at or below the federally defined poverty line. The median household income in the city is $25,787, compared to over $40,000 in Michigan as a whole.
"The unemployment rate can be as high as 20 to 40 percent depending on what age group you're looking at," says Jordano, who is not blind to the serious problems brought about by Detroit's decimated auto industry. "It really depresses me, to be honest. In 1977, when I left, Detroit was still pretty thriving. There was very little competition from a few Japanese imports."
Detroit's population has dropped from a peak of 1,849,568 in 1950 to 713,777 in 2010. The total population has shrunk by 25 percent since 2000. Much of the migration has been to the city's suburbs, beginning with "white flight" in the '70s and continuing today with black families' relocation to areas with better schools and services. The population of the Detroit metropolitan area has hovered just above 5 million consistently since the 1970s.
For some, Detroit, as the crucible of "Fordism," is as American as a city can be. The attraction of Detroit's cheap rents and DIY-attitude to an influx of artists has been widely-reported. People in Detroit say that if you can survive there, then you can survive anywhere, and if there is a common thread among Jordano's subjects, it is their perseverance.
"My work is not about what's been destroyed, but more importantly about what's been left behind and those who are coping with it," writes Jordano in his artist statement.
Through Jordano's lens we meet family-business owners, lake-swimmers, urban-farmers, artists, children playing in the street, dog-walkers, squatters, collapsed revelers, resting firemen and lonesome drinkers. He deliberately roamed throughout all the neighborhoods of Detroit.
"The overall picture is that there is hardship," says Jordano. "The hardships reveals itself in the way people live."
With approximately 31,000 empty house and 90,000 vacant lots, many of the subjects seem to occupy spaces partly abandoned, partly reclaimed.
"If you want to build something, you just build it. It's very ad hoc and there's little city permitting. It's quite pioneering in that way," says Jordano.
It's far cry from the boom times of downtown Detroit. The drastic changes can even be traced in Jordano's Re-photograph Survey, for which he revisited Detroit streets he had photographed as an art student in the mid-seventies.
"Most rephotographing projects recreate images that are a century old, but these are my own images," he says. "That the decline of Detroit has been in my lifetime is remarkable."
To assert control over the city's post-industrial shifts and to ensure stability, Detroit City Hall is looking to resize the city so that it might cluster people and services into "hubs" separated by re-greened spaces. Supporters of the resizing proposal say it would enable more efficient public transport and deliver improved essential services.
Jordano has heard estimates that up to 100,000 more people might exit Detroit before its population stabilizes. This would only compound problems as he believes a stable and predictable tax base is the prerequisite for any future growth.
If people are to leave, then Jordano hopes they are the ones to make the choice. Some city-planned regeneration initiatives may threaten some residences and he believes no one should be forced to relocate.
"There's talk about bringing in animals and starting urban farms, but they take up a lot of space," says Jordano. "There might be only one lot occupied on a block but it is still a home."
Dave Jordano's work is currently in the Motor City Muse: Then And Now exhibition, at the Detroit Institute of Arts Museum, through June 16th, 2013.

Twin Shadow Falls into Focus with New Album, Tour
April 25, 2018 @ 12:00am | M.K. Koszycki
Twin Shadow's latest tour, which aims to bring attention to the release of their new album Caer, kicked off on March 23 and includes dates with Alt-J and Beck. The creative force behind the band, George Lewis Jr., says he looks forward to what will be something of an East Coast homecoming at their U Street Music Hall show this Friday.
"We love DC, we always have great shows there," he says. "We're all east coast people – we've got a California boy in the band now – but [bandmate Wynne Bennett] and I both like to spend a lot of time on the east coast so we're really excited about coming back there because it feels like home."
As for the tour itself, a new era is approaching for Twin Shadow. The spotlight is set on the magnificent new music and serves as a showcase of Lewis Jr. and his band's talent.
"This tour is really about just getting back to the music," he says. "There's not a big production behind the set. We just want to play music for people. The set up with the new band sounds amazing and it's really just going to be that."
A lot has changed for Lewis Jr. since he released his last record in 2015. He and his band were forced to stop performing after their tour bus crashed into a tractor-trailer near Denver. Thankfully, no involved parties suffered major injuries, but Lewis Jr. and his band took time to reflect and grow while off the road, both personally and politically. He speaks of the global themes that anchor this new record.
"This is the first time I really feel like people are actually looking at the world like 'oh man, this might be it, this might be kind of the last round in humanity,'" Lewis Jr. says. "The idea of what being human [means] is changing because of computers and I think everything is being questioned. Everything is flipped on its head. And artists are making art at a time when that's happening, and regardless of political themes, it's hard to not make art that has a feeling of 'oh this might be our downfall, this might be the end or this might be the beginning of a new version of who we are as human beings.' It's where the emotional bed of the record is."
While dealing with the changing ways of the world, Lewis Jr. also weaves a thread between other works of his, adding to an impressive catalog that will now span four full-length records. "I would say [Caer] is more of a progression from Eclipse and it kind of goes back to some of the musical ideas on my first record, Forget," he notes.
Caer also includes collaborations with HAIM, the vivacious alt-rock trio consisting of three sisters who released their sophomore album Something to Tell You late last year. Lewis Jr. says after he and the members of HAIM became good friends, they eventually guided him during his creation of Caer.
"I had originally sent Danielle from HAIM 'Saturdays' when I wrote it, because I wrote it thinking about them," Lewis Jr. says. "They ended up going in and working on it and that was really exciting because I just think they're the best."
The title of the album comes from the Spanish verb caer, meaning "to fall." While the Lewis Jr. moves forward into a new phase of his life, he's certainly had many things both good and bad fall into place on this record, leading to his triumphant return to stage this month.
Twin Shadow play U Street Music Hall with Yuno on Friday April 27. Doors 7 p.m. Show 7 p.m. The new album "Caer" is also available this day. Tickets $30 here. All ages.
U Street Music Hall: 1115 U St. NW, DC; 202-588-1889; www.ustreetmusichall.com


Slipcovers 101. Fabric- Not all fabrics make a great slipcover. Consider the objective of your slipcover – are you going for a "look" or a protective piece? You have a lot more flexibility when you are just trying to achieve a certain look; basically any woven fabric could work. If you are looking for something to withstand the neighborhood kids, choose a close weave fabric like duck, poplin or denim.
Another benefit that living room interior provides is fantastic modern accessories which you can choose according to the current furniture fashion. Uncovering the world of looks and possibilities, the living room furniture can add more to modern living. Available in every color, shape, size, and material, it brings dull surroundings back to life. Its effect is really magical.
So just how do you choose the right interior furniture? – As mentioned, the interior furniture does need to be given a lot of thought. You need to ensure that the furniture you are thinking about fits perfectly into your home. Have you got a certain style that you want to keep with? If so and your style is a modern one, you do not really want to buy old antique furniture.


Caffé Populaire focuses on human interactions through the reduction of digital technology.
From mushroom mycelium architecture to 3D printed homes for insects, here are a few of MOLD's favorite exhibitions and installations at Milan Design Week 2019.
Designer Angelo Renna's latest project "Lesser Houses" provides a series of 3D printed homes for bugs. Each miniature shelter was designed with a specific insect in mind, taking inspiration from their usual homes in nature. Renna hopes that the project will encourage people to think more about the biodiversity around them, even in their own home.
Open for six days during Milan Design Week, Caffè Populaire is an anti-digital space crafted to bring people together over food. Instead of augmenting its design with digital technologies, the project discourages participants from using cell phones or computers. Its refined and earthy design is meant to build a comfortable space where people can talk and eat, instead of taking Instagram-worthy pictures.
Easily recognized for its classic design, the moka is one of the most iconic parts of Italian coffee culture. When tasked with redesigning the moka, British architect David Chipperfield sought to improve on its function and style, while still retaining its traditional shape. Chipperfield's redesigning of the moka for Italian kitchen brand Alessi will be presented at this year's design week.
Italian architect Carlo Ratti's installation, The Circular Garden, was grown with mushroom spores in organic material over the course of six weeks. The arched structures are assembled into four groups in the Orto Botanico di Brera botanical garden, where they will be used as compost after the exhibition.
Among the many bio designs featured in this year's Ventura Future exhibition is Insectology: Food for Buzz, Matilde Boelhouwer's solution to the scarce food availability for insects in urban environments. Boelhouwer's concrete-based flowers provide an emergency food source for bugs, while also mimicking real flowering plants to notify the insects of a potential food source. Her designs are not only self-sustaining, but are also diverse enough to attract the top five potential pollinators.

Latest UX industry insights - August 2013
Tim Blass
Paypal facetime
Don't despair if you're someone who's dreamt about getting your moniker onto any form of monetary tender in the UK and have been struggling to find a way to legally achieve this to date. The answer may be just around the corner. And, you might just be able to play your own small, but significant part, in helping to shape the future course of our digital cultural heritage from which generations to come will draw benefit from into the bargain. This follows news which reached me recently of an exciting initiative currently taking place in south west London, well Richmond to be exact, where location is of no coincidence. The initiative is headed up by Paypal, whose main offices are located nearby are responsible for running the initiative. The initiative in question involves a smartphone app which enables user recognition on in-store payment systems. Logging into the account via the app enables a customer's name and profile picture to be presented on a till screen to the retailer. The retailer can then simply click on their image to complete the transaction. Currently a dozen local businesses are involved in the trial, covering a range of different retail sectors. This includes a Fish and Chip shop as I understand, after all who wants greasy coppers rattling around their pockets after a late night sortie to the local chippie. Good thinking! Paypal points towards benefits of higher levels of security (e.g. human facial recognition) and personalisation of the overall payment experience. According to current expectations, Paypal's aim is to roll the service out nationwide within the next 2 to 3 years. Following the launch and further expansion of contactless payment (note EE's joint initiative with Mastercard 'Cash on Tap' a near field based mobile payment system launched less than 4 week's ago in the UK) and Paypal's already existing pay by mobile service which was introduced here around 2 years ago, the era of the electronic wallet appears to be well and truly upon us.
What of the data?
Well, the convenience and ability to handle micro-payments lessens the need for hard cash whilst giving consumers the benefits of faster payment. It also carries a massive incentive for the retailer sector in the form of customer purchasing data and MI. For example, why need an in-store loyalty card, when everything can be tracked and recorded directly? This will undoubtedly form the big carrot for the data hungry retailers in terms of taking up new payment channel opportunities. Kerching, as they used to say in the old days!

So, it's not long to go now before EE loses its exclusivity on 4G service provision in the UK, as the 29th August will see Vodafone and O2 joining the 4G party. In efforts to catch up with the head start made by EE on its 4G user base both Vodafone and O2 are heavily marketing bundled deals (Spotify premium and Sky Sports anyone?) to entice users to upgrade and switch early from their incumbent 4G provider, EE, when annual contracts start to expire later this year. Vodafone look set to focus their initial launch activity around London, with 12 more cities set to feature by the end of this year. Meanwhile 02 are looking at a wider initial roll out adding Leeds and Bradford to their initial London launch base. Operator '3' has yet to show its hand but is rumoured to be looking at more affordable options which won't entail a SIM swap-out. Meanwhile, Tesco who use 02 effectively as a white-labelled service, also look set to join the fray at some point in the near future. Extending the net out wider, BT is looking to use its segment of the 4G pie to allow its broadband customers to connect routers to 4G as a Wifi alternative. Increased competition, increased choice, should signal good news for us customers and of course high-band width digital content producers. Bring it on.
'Watch' this
And now a switch from market enabling to more emerging market news. This comes in the form of Samsung who recently revealed a patent filing for their smart watch patent application, 'Samsung Galaxy Gear'. No further news is currently available as to what, when and how much the device is likely to cost, but what we do know at this stage is that this is certain to form another chapter in that on-going saga that is the Apple v Samsung mobile war. Close integration with Samsung's existing device portfolio, in particular its flagship products, Samsung Galaxy S4 and its Galaxy Tab range must also be logically expected as part of any future offering. In terms of specification the device is likely sport only a limited storage capacity, heightening anticipation that the watch will act primarily as an access interface or alert device to other (Samsung) smartphone or tablet device. Elsewhere, Microsoft is also reportedly testing a series of removable wrist band prototypes. Meanwhile, Sony announced its Smartwatch 2 way back in June (yes 2 months is a long time these days in the portable digital world!). And of course the kick-starter financed Pebble smartwatch has already started working on its healthy backlog of pre-orders earlier this year.
Not quite a carbon copy
Now, news of a shocking discovery regarding some models of Xerox photocopier model. News that will undoubtedly send shivers down the spine of users involved in the duplication of particularly intricate or detailed specification documentation. Apparently a glitch in the system's compression algorithm has caused certain digits to be swapped out and replaced by others on duplicate copies; for example, 65 to 85 and 21 to 14. The swap outs appear to be randomly generated, hence no particular pattern for this behaviour can be identified with any degree of certainty. Obviously, it goes without saying that this will need a full and speedy resolution and Xerox is currently working on a patch to fix it. Interesting news indeed, as in all the days I was copying colleagues' course notes from the occasional missed Uni lecture, I've never questioned the inner workings of the library photocopier and indeed, why would I? There again my degree was primarily arts focused where numbers were less of an issue, although it may explain some of comments made regarding my Macro-economics coursework submissions! If there are any graduates out there taking copies of your degree certificates as part of your job application activity, it would be well worth checking your friendly local copier (if you are using one) has inadvertently down-dialled your academic achievements, or maybe even the converse!
A to B (maybe)
Finally, something we all do in publicly in both digital and physical spaces and regularly and openly discuss our experiences with our friends, relatives and peers (well some of us do). Can you guess what it is? The clue's in the title, namely…sharing our experiences of finding our way around, or not as the case may be. As a keen amateur orienteerer and adventure racer in a former life (I have an impressive array of map cases, compasses and heavily out of date energy bars to prove it!), the concept of navigating physical as well as digital spaces has held a particular fascination for me. So, imagine my delight when I espied a copy of on a recent visit to my local Foyles of a new text 'The Lost Art of Finding our way' by Harvard Professor, John Edward Huth. It was the design which initially attracted me to the book, the title and subject matter of the book followed shortly thereafter. But, engaging design isn't an issue I want to get 'side-tracked' onto at this juncture (anyone see what I did there?). I've not ventured too far into the book as yet, but learning more about the different environmental methods used by various navigators throughout history in the absence of supporting digital technology is making for fascinating reading. So too are the descriptions of the mental mapping processes used by navigators and wayfayers to negotiate their way around their environments as well as the impacts of feeling lost has one one's mental and physical being. This concept of creating a mental map to also navigate digital spaces was no more vividly demonstrated on a recent client project, where a substantial amount of content was served up against the backdrop of the site homepage. This proved to be really disorientating to a number of fellow consultants working on the project, who exclaimed that this type of single page interaction behaviour was creating an alien environment to them in which they lacked any sense of progression and the ability to journey down into lower levels of the website hierarchy to locate their destination content. No doubt further instalments will follow on this in future articles as a chart my progress through this weighty tome. This will be a journey of a thousand steps, but one which I aim to learn and share my learnings with my fellow blog readers along the way! (Heads off into sunset).

Gosh, that's a lot of words.
In hurry. No time for Chatty Abbey. Must get this out there before too late. No time to waste!
This is my newest dessert creation and what I'll be serving Christmas Eve. Panna cotta, as you may well know, is an Italian molded dessert made from sweetened and gelatin-thickened milk and cream. So it's kinda like a very firm pudding/custard. And I chose to make it more interesting by adding buttermilk and mascarpone… It just adds a slight element of tang to an otherwise rich dessert. Then to top it off, I chose to make a cranberry-orange compote and then fold in some brown butter (because brown butter = always a winner). And adding some crumbled gingersnap cookies just brings everything together, and gives such a perfect textural component to the dish.
This dessert is INSANE!!!! It's just sweet enough, with some lovely savory notes to make you keep coming back for more. It takes no time at all to make and if you're like me and running behind while also looking for something fun and different this year… this is what you're making.
. p a n n a c o t t a .
Stir together and allow to sit and the gelatin to soften while you prepare the other components.
The mascarpone will melt and whisk into the cream/milk when heat is added. Place over medium heat and begin to heat, whisking throughout so there are no lumps.
Let the mixture come up to a boil. Turn off the heat.
And stir in your softened gelatin/buttermilk mixture.
Stir well to incorporate fully, making sure there are no lumps.
Pour into ramekins of desired serving size (mine are around 4 oz).
Let them cool for about 30 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
They will be completely firm when they're ready.
To plate, take a butter knife and run around the edges of each ramekin and invert onto a serving dish.
Tap onto the bottom to release it onto the plate and gently pull the ramekin off.
And some crumbled gingersnap cookies, if desired.
And an orange twist never hurt anyone.
. b r o w n b u t t e r c r a n b e r r y c o m p o te .
Allow this to come to a boil and continue to boil for about 5 minutes until the berries pop and it thickens.
You want it to melt, then bubble and foam, and then once the noises and bubbles stop, you have brown butter.
Stir this into your cranberry mixture.
It should be very thick now.
Allow this to cool to room temperature before transferring to the fridge to cool down completely with the panna cotta.
Everything should be chilled before serving.

Groups Worry UN Rights Office Could Close
Cambodian civic leaders plan to lobby the international community in a September push to keep the UN human rights office open in Phnom Penh.
Kek Galabru, president of the rights group Licadho, and Thun Saray, head of the rights group Adhoc, will both travel to Geneva, where the UN is headquartered, Sept. 7 to urge member countries not to eliminate the office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Kek Galabru said Thursday.
Many of the 47 member countries of the UN Human Rights Council do not support a special envoy to represent the UN secretary-general, not only in Cambodia, but other countries, she said.
Cambodia's rights record remains poor, Kek Galabru said, making the continued operations of a UN rights office here important.
The government of Prime Minister Hun Sen has had problems with UN rights envoys in the past, especially the special envoy of the secretary-general, Yash Ghai, a strident critic of the premier.
Yash Ghai has had his visa to the US restricted, and top officials, including Hun Sen, have refused to meet him on past visits.
Meanwhile, the UN rights office is in transition, with the former head of the commission, Luis Arbour, stepping down Sept. 1, to be replaced by Navanethem Phillay.
Kek Galabru said Thursday at least 12 European Union countries opposed the elimination of the rights office.

U.S. Girls played 3 shows in 1 night @ Baby's All Right (pics, setlist, video)
photo by Amanda Hatfield
Meg Remy is cool as a cucumber. During a long intro for "Window Pane," where she and the rest of her U.S. Girls band stood statue still, some joker in the audience made the raspberry sound. Without breaking a smile she said with steely eyes, "I heard that."
It was what felt like the only unrehearsed moment during U.S. Girls' first of three shows in one night they played on Friday (4/13) at Brooklyn's Baby's All Right. That is not a criticism. Remy and her eight-piece band put on show in the best since of the word, a glammy disco extravaganza with many memorable showstoppers that could have been the climax of another band's night... but here they just kept coming. Meg is a charismatic performer and, as we noted about their SXSW performance, the band is shit-hot and has amazing chemistry. There were a couple points where the keyboardist Geordie Gordon grabbed his mic and joined Meg and backup singer Kassie Richardson at the center of the stage for "Pearly Gates" where they sang to each other, dancing, and it was magic.
The setlist, which was the same for all three shows at Baby's Friday night, pulled mainly from this year's great In a Poem Unlimited, with a few songs from 2015's Half Free and "28 Days" from 2013's Free Advice Column EP. (Side note: 4AD made "Mad as Hell" giant foam middle fingers which they gave out to the crowd.) You can check out the setlist and video of "Pearly Gates" and "Window Shades" from the late show below. Pictures from the early show, including ones of opener Gold Dime (the current group from Talk Normal's Andrya Ambro), are in the gallery above.
If U.S. Girls are playing near you, make a point to go see them. Their next NYC appearance will be at The National's "There's No Leaving New York" festival at Forest Hills Stadium in September.

From an investor's perspective, one would be hesitant in investing in an NNPC IPO. With oil prices dwinding and set to remain low for the foreseeable future, and with increase in the value of shares invested dependent on a company's future earnings, I worry if NNPC is a worthwhile investment.
As part of efforts to boost its revenue base, the federal government of Nigeria is exploring revenue opportunities in the non-oil sectors especially taxes and rates. Based on this, The Federal Government has introduced a stamp duty of N50 on bank customers for money received into their accounts. This implies that every bank customer will henceforth pay N50 stamp duty for money received into their accounts through electronic transfer, cash and cheques.
Do you see this as a good way of generating revenue?

Q: Struts 2 Convention Plugin Define Multiple Parent Packages I'm working on Struts 2 web application, using the Convention Plugin to configure everything via annotations. I'm hitting a snag with some of my action classes, where I'd like to use multiple parent packages. I did find a means of doing it on Apache's site -  but that appears to be deprecated. It does not work, throwing back a Type mismatch: cannot convert from String[] to String error.
@ParentPackage({"my-parent-package1, my-parent-package2"})
package com.mycompany.myapp.actions

import org.apache.struts2.config.ParentPackage;

I am using Struts 2.2.1. Is it possible to grant an action multiple parent packages via annotations? Seems odd that they would have removed this as a feature.

A: You cannot do it with annotations, but it's still possible via XML config. The javadoc says

This annotation allows actions to modify the parent package that they
  are using. Since XWork packages are created by the Convention plugin
  via the Java packages that the actions exist in, there is some tricky
  handling of XWork parent packages and namespaces of the XWork packages
  for discovered actions so that two actions in the same package can
  specify different parents and namespaces without collision.
 In order to handle this correctly, the name of the XWork package
  that actions are placed into is built using this format:
 <java-package>#<parent-xwork-package>#<namespace>

This means that is possible to have multiple parent packages in the java package. But you cannot place two or more @ParentPackage annotations on the same class or package. And as you notices cannot have array for parent packages. But you can at least have two parent packages one at the package definition and other at the action class. And unfortunate the config builder builds two configs for this annotations but the action config is only created for the one that has an annotation.

A: I checked org.apache.struts2.convention.annotation.ParentPackage for you, it is not allowed to define multi-parent-package. here is the snippet:
@Target({ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.PACKAGE})
@Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface ParentPackage {
    /**
     * @return  The parent package.
     */
    String value();
}

Q: Generating function - the number of ways to distribute 100 dollars to n people. I am currently a district math student and am learning generating functions. I was working on a question for a while and still couldn't find an answer to it. Here is the question:
Find the generating function for the sequence (a_0, a_1, a_2,...) defined as follows:
a_n = the number of ways to distribute 100 dollars to n people.
Find a closed form for that generating function.
Please tell me how I should approach this question/give me a hint on how to start. Thank you very much!

A: Hint With a hard problem it's sometimes easier to consider an easier one.
Suppose the problem was finding the number of ways to distribute £5 to $n$ people.
For $n=1$ There is no choice but to give them all the money.
$\circ \circ\circ\circ \circ   $
For $n=2$ I can share out the money by inserting a blue bar in the gaps of the coins to show who gets what.  Note there are $4$ possible gaps.
$\circ \color{blue}{|}\circ\circ\circ \circ  \\
\circ\circ\color{blue}{|}\circ\circ \circ  \\
 \circ \circ\circ\color{blue}{|}\circ \circ   \\
\circ\circ\circ\circ \color{blue}{|}\circ  $
There are 4 possible ways to divide the money.
For $n=3$  Now we will have to insert two bars.  There are 4 possible places to put the first blue bar and only 3 possible ways to put the second red bar.
$\circ \color{blue}{|}\circ\color{red}{|}\circ\circ \circ$
There are clearly $4\times 3$ ways to do this.  Note this is the same as $\frac{4!}{(4-2)!}$
However we could swap the blue and red bars and the portioning of monies would be unaltered.
$\circ \color{blue}{|}\circ\color{red}{|}\circ\circ \circ$ is the same as $\circ \color{red}{|}\circ\color{blue}{|}\circ\circ \circ$ They can be swapped in $2\times 1$ (deciding which colour is first).
We therefore have $2!$ too many.
The number of ways of splitting the money between three people is therefore $\frac{4!}{(4-2)!2!}$
This is otherwise known as $\binom{4}{2}=6$
For $n=4$  Now we will have to insert three bars.  There are 4 possible places to put the first blue bar, 3 possible ways to put the second red bar and only 2 for the third green bar.
$\circ \color{blue}{|}\circ\color{red}{|}\circ\color{green}{|}\circ \circ$
This time there are $3\times2\times1$ too many because swapping the colours will leave the partitioning unaffected. To summarise there are $\frac{4!}{(4-3)!3!}=\binom{4}{3}=4$ possible ways.
For $n=5$ there is only one way of giving out the money.
The generating function $G(x)$ for this example is therefore $G(x)=1x^1+4x^2+6x^3+4x^4+1x^5$
The 100 question works along similar principles.  Hope this helps.

A: Hints
If we find what $a_n$ is, the generating function should be easy to get from its definition.
To find $a_n$, define $x_1. \ldots x_{100}$ the amount of dollars given person $i$. You need to make sure $\sum_{i=1}^{100} x_i = 100$. How many solutions does this system have?

A: Consider that there is 1 way to give a person 0 dollars, 1 way to give them 1 dollar, and so on. This gives the generating function:
$\begin{align*}
   p(z)
     &= \sum_{k \ge 0} z^k \\
     &= \frac{1}{1 - z}
\end{align*}$
(bear with me, the sum should go up to $k = 100$, but the extra terms don't affect the result, and simplify the algebra that follows).
If you have $n$ people, the ways to give them $M$ dollars in all ($[z^M]$ is the coefficient of $z^M$ in what follows) is:
$\begin{align*}
   [z^M] p^n(z)
     &= [z^M] \frac{1}{(1 - z)^n} \\
     &= (-1)^M \binom{-n}{M} \\
     &= \binom{n + M - 1}{n - 1}
\end{align*}$
The extra terms in $p(z)$ can't affect the result, as you can easily see.


to August 2017, along with outcomes of those activities.
The NHS Cervical Screening Programme saves an estimated 5,000 lives every year in the UK and provides the best protection against cervical cancer. However attendance of this life-saving test is at a 19 year low and incidence of cervical cancer is worryingly high with nine women diagnosed with the disease every day in the UK.
In 2015-16, only 72.7% of eligible women in England attended cervical screening when invited. This figure masks dramatic differences in coverage across the country from just 55.5% of eligible women in Kensington and Chelsea to 81.4% of eligible women in South Gloucestershire.
This report summarises new research into the activities undertaken by local authorities and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) across England to increase cervical screening attendance.
Despite the need to improve screening accessibility, provision through sexual health services has dramatically fallen in some areas resulting in reduced access to potentially life-saving cervical screening.
The full report features case studies of CCGs and local authorities utilising the resources available to them and working in innovative ways to increase attendance.
Cervical cancer can be prevented and GP surgeries, Local Authorities, CCGs and the four UK Governments all have a key role to play in increasing awareness of cervical screening and encouraging women to attend this potentially life-saving test. We have specific information and resources for health care professionals to use to encourage attendance here.
If you have a cervical screening project which deserves recognition, enter our Cervical screening awards!

As we're reminded every bushfire season, Australians are more vulnerable during emergencies that can arise with little warning. We do a fair job of dealing with them, and thankfully we've been very lucky to avoid facing a catastrophic event that would produce extensive casualties: a significant terrorist attack, a large-scale industrial accident, a collapse of a city skyscraper, an air disaster, or a tsunami hitting a big population centre. Even an ongoing heat wave that occurred across the country would challenge our healthcare services. The truth is that we're unprepared to respond to a major disaster.
Those judgments are based on the findings of the December report by the National Health Performance Authority on our emergency departments. As I've argued in the context of our preparedness for a mass casualty terrorist attack, surge capacity—the ability of the medical system to care for a massive influx of patients—remains one of the most serious challenges for national emergency preparedness.
The NHPA report shows that no major metropolitan hospital in NSW, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania or Queensland had met state emergency department benchmarks in the first six months of last year. The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine noted that, across the nation, the sick patients—those who needed to be admitted—are more likely to have inappropriately long stays in emergency (Word doc). Research overseas (PDF) has found that patients admitted to hospitals via crowded emergency departments might be more likely to die in the hospital than similar patients admitted during slow periods.
Hurricane Sandy in the US recently underscored the importance of emergency care in the face of disaster, when major hospitals in New York lost power and had to evacuate patients at short notice and in dramatic circumstances.
Clearly we have a problem. The first step in working out a response is to identify the shortfalls and set some performance goals. If the new National Health Performance Authority was to audit our national healthcare preparedness for large-scale disasters on a regular basis, then our healthcare system would then know what they were reasonably expected to be able to cope with and could plan appropriately, including what funding is required.
Speed is life in critical cases, and again we lack the ability to move lots of patients quickly—or to move response teams to the victims. As I and the former Director-General of EMA have argued recently, an immediate priority should be to address inadequacies in national casualty airlift (PDF). The right capability might look like several planes each of which that can carry at least six to 10 stretchers in an appropriate airframe to handle patients needing ICU treatment, with certified equipment and ready to go immediately.
With minimal investment and a contractual agreement with Qantas and Virgin, we could configure up to four aircraft with the requisite kit, when required, for medivac use as part of the commercial fleet on the east and west coasts. Similar arrangements are already in place in the United States. Suitable military transport aircraft might be available, but the RAAF must balance this role with military operations, training and maintenance. In any event, Defence assets rely on doctors and nurses who often have to balance their civilian life with their part-time military service as specialist reservists.
There's a lot we could do to prevent the adverse health consequences that will flow from disasters. It'd be much better to deal with this proactively rather than after a 'lessons learned' report.

William Timlin was born in Ashington, Northumberland, England. From his earliest days he was a most talented draughtsman. He studied art at Morpeth Grammar School and won a scholarship to Armstrong College. He came to Kimberley in 1912 and was apprenticed to the architect DW Greatbatch.
The town of Kimberley, established in 1873 was for some time largely a community of miners whose main pastimes took the form of light entertainment - sport, music hall and such legitimate theatre as was available. Organised cultural activity had its beginnings in June 1903 when the Athenaeum Club was founded. In 1914 as a recent settler and young artist-architect, William Timlin set about organizing an art section for the Athenaeum, the active membership of which shrunk considerably following World War I. The continuing organization and administration of art affairs was left to a very small group - the most notable protagonists of which were W Timlin, A Pett and FW Perkins supported by W Humphreys.
It was decided that the Art Section of the Athenaeum should create the nucleus of an art gallery for Kimerley and over the following twenty years the group sponsored a number of exhibitions and art functions to raise funds for the purchase for paintings.
Timlin was a prodigiously energetic and immensely versatile personality. He was a successful architect and with partner DW Greatbatch he was responsible for several major buildings in Kimberley such as the Kimberley Hospital, Boys' High School, Girls' High School and the Cenotaph. He was an active organiser and the moving spirit in local cultural events. He designed seals and decorations, theatre programmes and illuminations in Johannesburg and Kimberley. He also wrote stories, books and music, illustrated periodicals and produced a vast output of paintings, etchings and pastels as well as the watercolour fantasies for which he is best known.
Of all his fantasies the ones which retain significance are found among the studies for "The building of a Fairy City". This is an escape along whimsical paths leading from his profession as an architect. There is some fine structural drawing in this series and some imaginative architectural day-dreaming. His other enchanted woods are charming in their fairytale genre and the pictures form his book "The Ship that sailed to Mars" are talented illustrations.
Distressed by the accidental killing of a snowy owl whilst on a hunting trip, Timlin resolved to immortalize it in his work as his familiar emblem.
