The ever-changing face of pink interiors
Posted on April 1, 2020 in Front Page Highlights, New Designs
Unless you've been living under a home and interiors rock, you may well have noticed that the colour pink has become somewhat of a staple in recent years. Though the pretty pastel colour has come and go throughout the years, the colour most recently began trending back in 2016 when Pantone announced Rose Quartz as their colour of the year. Whilst met with some trepidation, the very following year Pantone went on to select 'Pale Dogwood' for their spring fashion report and whilst in this form the shade my not immediately ring any bells, this very colour went on to be renamed the now famous 'Millennial Pink'.
It's no doubt that millennial pink has soared in popularity, you only have to take a brief look at any Pinterest interior mood board or interior inspiration Instagram accounts to find they're all awash with the delicate blush tones of millennial pink. So, where has this obsession with pink come from, and why does it seem like more of a staple than a 10 minute-trend this time around? If we look to science for the answer, the psychology behind the colour pink is extremely interesting. If you've ever heard of the saying "everything is rosy" then you'll know that pink is seen as a positive colour that inspires warm and comforting feelings, associated with feelings of hope. Because of this, it comes as little surprise that millennials and other generations alike are swaying towards the colour when it comes to creating a welcoming and inviting space at home.
However, it's important to note that though pink is certainly having a moment right now, this isn't the first time that the perky shade has popped up in homes. Here we take a look back through the decades of rose-tinted interiors and discuss the ever changing face of pink in home style.
Throughout the 1950s the world was in a post-war recovery, but the outlook for the future was certainly positive. The colour palette during this time truly reflected the feelings of optimism, with cheerful shades such as seafoam green, chartreuse and pastel pink all being popular. If there's one trend that really stands out from this time, it's the pink bathroom (and kitchens as well sometimes!). Across the pond back in 1953 when Eisenhower became president, the first lady redecorated the white house's private bathroom to a pretty pink shade. Little did she know at the time that this move was set to kickstart a trend that swept across America and eventually found its way filtering over to the UK. The pretty pastel shade of pink would become known as "Mamie Pink". These days pink bathrooms and kitchens are making a comeback, with modern touches such as gold hardware and unique tile patterns.
Throughout the 1960's, 70's and 80's pink made several reappearances. Social revolution and the rise of counterculture brought drastic change in home décor in the 60's with vibrant, psychedelic and colourful home décor becoming increasingly popular. By the 1960's technology was finally able to create brighter more eye-catching pinks. Both neon pink and acid orange were a favoured pairing, often appearing on garish wallpaper with both psychedelic and floral patterns. In a 60 year switch-up, floral wallpaper is once again a big trend for 2020, with some unique and authentic 60's replica wallpaper on the market currently. Whilst the 70's saw a more reserved colour compared to the swinging 60's, more muted hues of pink were still visible in-home interiors. By the very next decade, brash and bright colours were back in full force, with economic revitalization and pop music acting as the main influences for an explosion of colour in the 80's. Throughout this time it also wasn't uncommon to mix colours that were a traditional no-go with flamingo pink, Caribbean blue and lime green all colours of choice to secure that "Miami Vice" inspired home.
Moving ever closer towards the present day, the 1990's was the year for frills and florals in home décor. The colours were muted and not to dissimilar to the colour palette of the 70's, but the key difference here is that the connotation of the colour pink changes throughout this decade more so than ever before. Whereas pink used to be associated as a feminine colour, the 90's switched the dynamic, leaving pink viewed as a more gender-neutral tone. Because of this, the colour was re-introduced into areas of the home where it hadn't been before, being more widely used throughout the world of interior design. If you're wanting to add a touch of muted pink to your home, consider using the shade within your window treatments. Pink features heavily within the fantastic selection of readymade curtains for sale on the high street so it's clear that this shade is set to stay.
Fast forward to the present day and pink is popping up in every aspect of home interiors; from paint to sofas and everything in between. Though on the surface it may seem that the recent obsession with pink has come out of nowhere, it's clear that the popular colour has been around for quite some time. That being said, the way that pink is used throughout interiors has almost certainly changed, with more recent movements forcing the connection between pink and femininity to become somewhat muted. In 2020 soft pinks are almost considered new-age neutrals, with neutrals set to be one of the biggest trends of the year, so if you think the obsession with pink is over, think again.

Q: Verb meaning 'to use as a starting point for, opportunistically' or 'use as a pretext for'? I'm looking for a verb whose meaning is approximately "use as a starting point for, opportunistically" or "use as a pretext for". For example,

She's using her safety presentation to [             ] her campaign to increase employee wages.

Meaning: She's exploiting her presentation to launch her campaign.

My friend loves [               ] mall expeditions (onto/on) grocery shopping trips.

Meaning: My friend loves to opportunistically turn grocery shopping trips into mall expeditions.
I used to think the word "bootstrap" ("bootstrapping") served this purpose, but have since come to learn that it refers more to autonomy than opportunism.
I also considered "piggyback" ("piggybacking"), but this carries the strong connotation of attaching something minor to something major, which isn't the case for the desired verb.
"Segue into" was a third candidate, although it refers more to transitioning than to starting something new.
Finally, I considered "kickstart" ("kickstarting"), but this doesn't always imply opportunism, and furthermore sounds awkward in many situations (e.g. "kickstart my complaint", "kickstart his request for tax returns").
I'm not certain if a verb with this precise meaning exists in the English language, although I can't shake the feeling that one does.

A: Leverage is the perfect fit. From MW:

leverage
   transitive verb
2 : to use for gain : exploit
shamelessly leverage the system to their advantage —Alexander Wolff

She's using her safety presentation to leverage her campaign to increase employee wages.

A: You might be able to use the word "maneuver".
From Oxford Dictionaries Online:

maneuver
/məˈno͞ovər/
verb
Move skillfully or carefully.
The truck was unable to maneuver comfortably in the narrow street
Carefully guide or manipulate (someone or something) in order to achieve an end.
Along the way he's manoeuvred a group of marginal seat holders into more powerful positions.
Carefully manipulate a situation to achieve an end.
By 1987 it was clear that the grieving period was over as politicians manoeuvred for supremacy.

A: "masquerade" is a lovely word that would fit your first example nicely
"transform" is obvious for your second example, but you seem to want something more general
"costume", "mask" and "veil" suggest themselves

Corner Shower – The bathroom is essential. We put it to use everyday for our ablutions and it's really something we can not go without. Think about what it was like in the olden times before bathrooms became a thing and you'll realize how lucky we should be living in the changing times that people are.
Tubs and showers come in a wide variety of patterns,sizes and coatings. You will discover tubs and showers that are one device, tubs that don't have a shower which means you buy an connection to use as a bathtub if you want one and showers that are stand alone units, whether posting space in the bathroom with a bath tub or not.
Tubs could possibly be the kind that be seated against a wall membrane so that the unsightly plumbing related is hidden, and some have tiled or designed surrounds to safeguard the surfaces against water damage and mold. Tubs can be stand alone, extravagant or plain, colored or white and can stay against a wall or window or simply sit in the middle of the bathroom floor. Taps can be of most types and come in so many finishes and styles it's enough to make your head spin. You could choose for them to be shown or even to be hidden and the pipes to either be considered a feature or be hidden.
Tubs can also be corner affairs that fit several person and can be jetted for an extra relaxation factor. And then there are the showers. You could have a tiled one, the one that can be an all in one device or one made completely of glass. They are able to have seating, built-in shelves for items and undoubtedly, many, many types of shower brain can be acquired.
You like rain? You'll love the rainfall head shower, some even with air effects to further mimic a planting season storm. Right in your bathroom. Imagine that. Then there are concealed units that take a seat on the roof, right above you however, not recognized till needed. Talk about stealth! These give a lovely bathtub of drinking water, are inconspicuous and are the epitome of minimalist design.
Sprinkles, waterfall, gushers, many nozzles or just one, shower mind have come quite a distance. There are even some with lights that may be programmed and some that are reliable in keeping the normal water temperatures to a established standard so there is absolutely no risk of uses up.

Jeep Renegade 4xe plug-in hybrid performance, top speed & engine
It's far from being the most engaging SUV on the road, but few cars in its class can match the Renegade 4xe when the tarmac ends
by Driving Electric
MPG, CO2 & charging
Performance, engine & drive - currently reading
Performance, engine & drive rating
Hybrid Petrol
0-62mph
7.1-7.5s 124mph Four 187-237bhp
The entry-level Renegade 4xe is powered by a 128bhp 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 59bhp electric motor, paired with an 11.4kWh battery, for a total system output of 187bhp. The top-spec Trailhawk model gets a more powerful petrol engine, pushing the output to 237bhp. Power from the electric portion of the drivetrain is sent exclusively to the rear wheels, while the petrol engine takes care of the front axle.
On the move, the Renegade's plug-in hybrid drivetrain translates to a comfortable driving experience. In full electric mode, there's very little motor noise: just a soft buzz that's paired with plenty of wind noise at higher speeds. The Trailhawk model, with its more powerful drivetrain, offers punchy performance, but also does a better job off-road than the standard car thanks to its extra torque and four-wheel drive. As a Jeep product, the Renegade has always been one of the better small SUVs for tackling the rough stuff, and the plug-in version continues that trend.
In practice, the most powerful Renegade 4xe does well to eliminate any lag in the petrol engine's delivery, with gaps filled in by the electric motor's torque. You'll have to either select the car's new Sport mode to access this, or in standard Hybrid mode, use large throttle inputs to kick the petrol engine into life. And as is the norm with most other plug-in hybrid systems, electrical power can be saved and deployed later in a journey. In this default mode (and with a charged battery), the petrol engine takes a back seat to electric power as much as possible.
Jeep Renegade 4xe plug-in hybrid 0-62mph, top speed and acceleration
The less powerful powertrain gets the Renegade from 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds, while the more powerful model cuts that to 7.1 seconds. This swift acceleration feels a little at odds with the car's remit and relative lack of poise on the road, but is welcome for safe overtaking. The 4xe can travel on electric power alone at speeds of up to 81mph, while outright top speed is 124mph with help from the petrol engine.
While the Renegade is a comfortable car to travel in, it's not terribly engaging from the driver's perspective due to a lack of detailed feedback in the steering and average body control. There's also not as much grip through corners as we'd like. This is most likely a trade-off that was necessary to ensure the retention of the Renegade's trademark off-road ability.
PreviousRunning costs & insurance
NextInterior, dashboard & comfort
VerdictThe Jeep Renegade 4xe combines plug-in hybrid efficiency with real off-road ability
MPG, CO2 & chargingThe Jeep Renegade hybrid's figures are respectable, but some rivals beat it on paper
Running costs & insuranceThe Renegade 4xe follows the plug-in hybrid formula: cheaper to fuel and tax, slightly more expensive to insure
Performance, engine & drive - currently readingIt's far from being the most engaging SUV on the road, but few cars in its class can match the Renegade 4xe when the tarmac ends
Interior, dashboard & comfortThe Renegade is a comfortable small SUV with good infotainment, but its interior feels a little plasticky
Boot space, seating & practicalityThere's lots of room for passengers to get comfortable in the Renegade, but only an average amount of boot space
Reliability & safety ratingA low Euro NCAP score disappoints, but the Jeep should be fairly reliable

Q: Ruby class variable is reset after rails app initialized I tried to assign a class static variable like this
class QueryLogger < Logger
  @@query_logger_default_instance = nil
  def self.default_instance
    # Use global variable because static variable doesn't work
    @@query_logger_default_instance ||= self.new(STDOUT)
  end
end

In initializers folder of my rails app, I added a file with this code block
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = QueryLogger.default_instance

In a request (action of controller), I make a call to this: QueryLogger.default_instance.
My assumption is that the call to default_instance will always report the same. However, it does not.
Now I try to watch stuff in NetBeans by setting breakpoint inside default_instance.
Thing happen as expected, the default_instance get called twice, one due to the initializer block and one due to the call to my action. Surprising thing is, in both times, @@query_logger_default_instance report nil inside NetBeans inspector. The first nil report is correct, but the second shocked me. It's look like static variable gets reset after rails app initialized. Is there some magic there?

A: It depends if you are running in development environment, classes are loaded per request basis, thats the reason you can make changes to them and see them without restarting the server.
So i think your class variable will be reset for each request.
Try running in production.


Non-surgical fertility control…new solutions coming into view.
Some dogs get all the veterinary care they need.
But worldwide most get none.
Spay FIRST! promises a kinder tomorrow.
Spay FIRST! is a leader in the research of non-surgical fertility control products for free-roaming, or "street," dogs.
In 2011 we initiated partnerships to provide robust support for research on immunocontraceptive products for unwanted dogs. In 2013 our work scaled up dramatically as we moved into research on efficacy and safety of multiple formulations that can halt litters.
Our goal is to help dogs in impoverished communities through the development of low-cost, non-surgical options for preventing litters.
There are an estimated 250 million unwanted dogs worldwide. Between three quarters and 90 percent of all dogs will have no veterinary care during their lifetimes. The average lifespan of a female dog in a developing nation is only two and a half years. And sadly, the places least able to afford spay/neuter are those in which it is needed most.
Surgical spay/neuter remains the gold standard. However, in chronically poor places safe surgery for unwanted dogs and cats, in big enough numbers to address the needs of millions of animals, remains decades away.
Our research is geared toward low-cost treatments and regulatory approval that gets effective products to those who need them most. Support our work today.
A Hero Dogs' participation in this vital research helps street dogs who otherwise suffer in silence.
After research the dogs are surgically spayed or neutered and transferred to high quality private shelters in the northeast. A loving adoption process includes careful match-making, and a lifetime "take back" if the home can no longer care for the dog. A lifetime safety net is ensured for each Hero Dog.
This relationship is a win/win for each of our dogs and for homeless dogs worldwide.
Will this research help family pets? No, we focus on products approved for free-roaming dogs, and products that are not patented, faster and less costly processes than required for pets.
Contact us for more information on adopting a Hero Dog.


The plan seeks to turn Midtown which has about 500 residents and almost 200 businesses into a walkable urban center that would connect to downtown Fort Myers.
The future of Fort Myers' Midtown could include 4,000-plus residential units, 650,000-plus square feet of commercial office space and about 5 acres of public space.
The plan seeks to turn the neighborhood that currently has about 500 residents and almost 200 businesses into a walkable urban center that would connect to downtown. The Midtown Vision Plan was presented on Monday during a Fort Myers City Council workshop.
"This is a vision plan," said Steve Belden, community development director for the city of Fort Myers. "It's not a specific redevelopment plan. What you see isn't probably going to be what it looks like in 10 to 15, 20 years."
The plan is a strategic redevelopment plan that would bring private and public long-term investment, said Trent Green, an associate professor of architecture and urban design at the University of South Florida. Green is a consultant for the city on the Midtown plan.
City Manager Saeed Kazemi said this is an attempt to attract millennials.
"They are going to come and use those offices," Kazemi said.
Ultimately, the vision includes housing for area workers who would prefer to eliminate their commute. Kazemi said the city will have to invest in the area in order to draw developers to the project.
"We are going to entertain public-private partnerships," Kazemi said.
A lot of the employees in downtown can't afford to live in downtown because it's expensive, Kazemi said. Midtown would offer a neighborhood that is less costly.
"This is going to be something that will bring the people," Kazemi said. "We are going to bring the people to work, play and stay.
"We are going to create something where they can stay."
Midtown is bounded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the north, Edison Avenue to the south, U.S. 41 to the west and Evans Avenue to the east. All told, it is 243 acres.
Green said there was a lot of input from the community.
"This is what leads to successful redevelopment," Green said. "We recognized early on the passion that residents had for this area."
The plan would seek to turn at least nine streets in the area into multimodal paths that would make it more pedestrian friendly, Green said.
The anchor of the neighborhood would be the Town Center that would take place of the City of Palms Park site.
It would include 1,250 dwelling units, 500,000 square feet of office space, 150,000 square feet of commercial use, a 250-room hotel and over 3 acres of public space, according to the presentation by Green.
The plan includes buildings that could be as tall as 10 to 14 stories, Green said and would include 1,680 public parking spaces and 5,168 private parking spaces.
"If you can get this right everyone will benefit, the public sector, the private sector and the residents," Green said.
There will be at least one more presentation to the public, Green said. Then it would go for an official vote.
"We know that was a subject that was near and dear to a lot of people that attended the workshops," Green said. "We didn't indicate in the plan where it would go, but we know it can accommodate housing at various price points."
This vision will guide the effort of rezoning the area of Midtown, Belden said.
Mayor Randy Henderson said he would like to see the plan incorporate more green spaces, instead of just the 5.5 acres presented.
"I personally would like to see a little more aggressiveness in the public space arena, more green space," Henderson said.
Henderson asked the public to continue voicing their opinions on the Midtown plan.
"We are not doing this for us per se,"' Henderson said. "It's driven by our citizens. We need your help to do that."

Improvement of methods to detect pathogens in water samples, infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) as a model
G-20-01-001
Infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) is regularly monitored in farmed salmon in Atlantic Canada, as well as in hatcheries. In hatchery-raised fish, infections are usually with the non-pathogenic form of the virus (HPR0) and affect only the fish's gills. However, ISAV HPR0 is believed to lead to the virulent pathogenic form (HPRΔ) through mutations. Thus, preventing the introduction of all forms of ISAV on sea farms should reduce the overall prevalence of virulent forms of ISAV and outbreaks in the Atlantic Canada salmon farming industry.
Removing the sources of the virus requires applying rigorous biosecurity (procedures to protect against disease) and containment in hatcheries, as well as identifying the points of origin of the pathogen. To accomplish these goals, sensitive, fast, and accurate detection methods are required to track the virus and to determine the effectiveness of efforts to remove the virus and disinfect the hatchery.
This project aims to test various approaches and improve detection methods of ISAV in hatchery water samples. The project will determine physical areas and operational procedures that are at risk of introducing ISAV into the fish hatcheries and will monitor the effectiveness of disinfection efforts. Using hatchery water and swab samples, this project aims to help us understand how and when ISAV infects fish in hatcheries. This knowledge would allow us to develop new management practices to keep hatcheries free of the virus, to detect sources of virus entry, and to prevent the introduction of the virus into the hatchery.
The project also aims to help understand why ISAV HPR0 persists in some hatcheries, to determine whether measures are sufficient to fully control the introduction of ISAV into hatcheries, and to validate and improve a detection method used with other common fish viruses.

Toronto project demonstrates healing power of arts
By Joseph HallNews reporter
Sun., April 3, 2016timer9 min. read
It's the most graceful pirouette Rachel Bar ever performed.
When her prima ballerina dreams began to fade eight years ago, she spun her talents onto a more elevated stage.
"I just felt like there was more to me … more to say," she recalls. "And I didn't think I was going to be able to say that through my performing."
Bar now offers dance therapy to people with Parkinson's disease in the GTA.
Bar, 31, who danced for six years with major British and Israeli companies, is coupling her dance therapy instruction with a scientific study of Parkinson's. In doing so, she has become a key partner in a three-year effort to carve out a permanent place for the arts in the province's health system.
Led by the University Health Network's OpenLab centre, the Art Heals Health project is bringing together disparate artists who work in medical settings and display the clinical value they add to patient care, at relatively low costs.
Ultimately the project hopes to help long-term provincial funding for the arts as therapeutic tools, says Kendra Delicaet, managing director of OpenLab, which studies and bolsters creative programs to improve the delivery and patient experience of health care.
The project, one of about a dozen the centre is running, is recruiting dancers, painters, musicians, actors and comics who are currently taking their talents into hospital and outpatient settings.
About 170 artists, therapists and clinicians from across the province and beyond attended an initial project symposium last fall. The program co-ordinated by OpenLab hasn't yet costed out the three-year project.
The notion that art can improve medical outcomes is not new. But an increasing number of large studies support the idea, says Dr. Luis Fornazzari, a neurologist at St. Michael's Hospital and a medical adviser to the OpenLab project.
"There are many articles that are pointing to the very good effects of art," he says. "Heart attacks, ICU patients, patients admitted (for) bypass coronary artery diseases and other big surgeries … they respond much, much better."
These responses, Fornazzari says, include lower use of painkillers and shortened hospital stays, cutting costs and helping the arguments for artistic interventions.
Just why art can lead to truncated, less painful recoveries and other physiological benefits is unclear, he says. But it's likely due in part to positive effects of the neurochemicals, such as opioids and dopamine, released during participation in artistic activities.
Fornazzari's own work has looked primarily at the protective effects that art offers the brain against the onset of dementias. Artists in particular are significantly "protected by their art," sometimes for years, against the cognitive deteriorations caused by Alzheimer's disease, strokes and other brain disorders, his research has shown.
Bar is completing a doctorate in clinical psychology at Ryerson University. And she has enlisted some of her dance class participants in a research project exploring the effects of dance on a Parkinson's brain.
"We know that balance and gait and posture … do improve, and overall that dance can actually delay the progression of the disease," she said after a recent class at Canada's National Ballet School.
"Our research looks at … what's unique about dance in the brain that facilitates these benefits," added Bar, a graduate of the Jarvis St. school. (She also teaches adult and children's programs at the facility.)
Bar and her research colleague — York University neuroscientist Joseph DeSouza — use electroencephalograms (EEGs) to search for differences in dancers' brain waves before and after classes.
They've also used functional MRI scans to look at neurological changes that occur in real time during the dance.
Some 36 weeks pregnant with her second child, Bar left much of the actual instruction during the recent class to a pair of ballet school dancers, who led 18 Parkinson's patients through a series of sitting and standing moves in one of the facility's elegant pastel studios.
The ballet school program, with 30 registrants with Parkinson's each term, partners with the group Dancing With Parkinson's, which runs classes in five other locations across the city.
Bill Bartlett dances three times a week at several of them.
The gregarious, barrel-chested 71-year-old quit his career as a chef when he developed significant symptoms of the degenerative movement disorder four years ago. Like many who use art as therapy, Bartlett says ballet has drawn him out of the isolation in which illness can frequently imprison a mind.
"Many people with Parkinson's withdraw (but this) energizes me every day," he says. "It gives me something to look forward to, to defer depression."
Bar, whose favourite ballets to perform were Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake, says the use of dance in her academic work flowed naturally from her former career.
"You kind of go back to who you are and what you know."
Bar and Fornazzari believe benefits they've documented — physiological, emotional, spiritual and economic — have earned the ancient arts a firm place in modern medicine.
But she notes the medical community relies on hard data to justify change. She and the other artists working in the program hope to supply just that.
Humour out of darkness
Toronto author, actor and comedian Robert Hawke is marshalling humour in the battle against cancer, after it helped him through his own bout with the disease.
His comedy career was riding a high-speed laugh track a decade ago, having brought him frequent appearances on CBC television and radio shows and a full-time gig with the Second City comedy troupe. "I was freelancing, things were good," he recalls. "And I was leading what I considered to be a pretty healthy life." But then cancer sent him off the rails.
Hawke learned he had a thyroid tumour and that the master metabolism gland would have to be removed. The diagnosis and treatment proved psychological blows as much as physical ones. During weeks of fretful recovery, however, he hit upon this "funny idea" — to combat his cancer with comedy. The material he started developing and writing then would build a new calling and career.
"Once I started doing (comedy) work that addressed the cancer experience, I realized there was a real need for it," says Hawke, now 50. That need found its source in the deep wells of fear, despair and isolation into which cancer patients often fall. Using his comic skills to make cancer patients laugh, he thought, could help haul them out of that "4 a.m." darkness and allow them to more readily share their experiences and insights about their battles with others in similar straits.
Hawke has developed several programs to address different audiences. For cancer patients themselves, his "Spoonful of Laughter" routine is a 40-minute exercise that leans heavily on teaching improv techniques in groups large and small. Another, called "NormVsCancer," is an irreverent one-man show that OpenLab helped him bring into hospitals and other medical settings. He also created a program — Adventures in Patient-Centred Care — that teaches second-year University of Toronto medical students how to interact with more humour and humanity in the clinic.
Hawke believes that shared laughter is a key to opening cancer patients up to the camaraderie, comfort and expert advice — the "wisdom in the room" — that can be found in fellow patients. And the reactions of patients involved in one of his recent improv exercises seemed to bear him out.
"I don't think we get enough opportunities to laugh," said participant Nadha Hassen, 26, who is battling thyroid cancer. "It's amazing to … be in a space with other (patients). I feel like I just took this amazing stretch."

Hawke also published a how-to book in 2011, called Kicking Cancer's Ass: A Light-Hearted Guide to the Fight of Your Life. It offers cancer patients strategies on dealing with doctors, setting up support groups, making healthier choices and overcoming the bouts of worry and depression the disease can bring.
Writing songs with the dying
At Toronto's Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, SarahRose Black adds a keyboard's lively chords to the chemotherapy's weary drip.
"I bring my keyboard, I bring my (Tibetan) singing bowls, I bring a variety of instruments and my voice," says Black, an accredited music therapist who has become an integral member of the hospital's medical team.
Like psychologists or chaplains, Black, 28, sees patients based on referrals from physicians and other health professionals.
"I see people who have been first diagnosed with cancer and who are going through active treatment all the way through to end-of-life and palliative care," she says.
"If patients are experiencing symptoms that are very distressing or have high anxiety or perhaps are experiencing existential distress, I can be referred."
Princess Margaret is part of the University Health Network, which houses the OpenLab program.
Black says anecdotal and academic evidence has convinced her of music's healing power, a key reason she entered her chosen field. She often works in interactive sessions with patients — pulling them into a musical participation that she and many believe has measurable therapeutic benefits.
"Sometimes patients are interested in picking up a guitar that maybe they haven't picked up in years, or singing a meaningful song with me," she says.
"Or if they're well enough, (they can) hold one of my instruments, like a percussion instrument, and we improvise together."
For those patients too tired or sick to participate, Black will take bedside requests, playing tunes that resonate with the patient.
"But often they say, 'Whatever. Just play whatever,'" she says.
"So I end up doing something … improvisational."
Black also works with the dying — patients transferred to Princess Margaret's 10-bed Kensington Hospice who might wish to leave a musical legacy of their lives.
"Many, many times I've been in with people who know they're dying … and in the course of one or two (visits) we write a song together," she says.
"I put it on a CD and the patient can give it to their loved ones as a gift."
These songs are often played at funerals, says Black.
In all these circumstances, Black says, her live sessions have an interactive advantage over recorded music — allowing her to tune a performance to a patient's mood, strength and desires.
"If I can connect with someone and meet them where they're at and cater the music to their unique experience, the therapeutic potential is enormous."
Black's Princess Margaret gig began three years ago as a student internship. She now holds a permanent position at the hospital, which she's using to help her complete a U of T doctorate in music and health.
"People tell me that the experience of listening to music in their hospital room humanizes their care," she says. "Suddenly they're not just a patient but they are a human being with complex needs."
Black says research shows this humanizing effect of music produces consistent clinical benefits, helping with pain and symptom management of drugs, radiation and surgery.
In a cancer hospital, however, music may frequently be the final therapy.
"I often get called in when there are no words left. It's just music, and silence."
Measuring art's healing power
The Lancet, August 2015
This retrospective study of some 4,200 previous research papers showed music played in post-operative settings provided patients with significant reductions in pain, anxiety and use of analgesics, and increased satisfaction with their hospital stays.
Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, August 2013
This study was based on internationally acclaimed sculptor Mary Hecht, who taught at York University. Though she had profound dementia in her last years, Hecht could still draw accurate images of people and objects around her. This suggested that art could bestow protection for the brain.
Pediatrics, May 2013
Researchers looked at 272 premature babies who had lullabies and heartbeat and womb sounds sung or played to them by parents and registered music therapists, while in neonatal intensive care units. It found that the songs and sounds could slow the baby's heart rates, make them more alert and improve their sucking.

Over on the social networking site reddit a topic came up that you may find interesting- the technical ability of telephone carriers to restore txt sms messages.
In Flagg v. City of Detroit, 2008 WL 787061 (E.D. Mich. Mar. 20, 2008) (text messages were subpoenaed from SkyTel, a cell phone provider) although I don't know the time period on that one.
Do you have any experience or tips in successfully compelling a carrier (AT&T in this instance) to restore messages when subpoenaed? Does it take an order from a judge?
Update. The document posted here apparently shows how long telcos keep different classes of subscriber data. And a discussion here describes the likely result of a subpoena for text messages from a cell phone provider.
Update 2013: Steps for preservation and acquisition of text, photos, logs, deleted records from mobile device.
Latest Update April 2013: How long mobile carriers retain data.
simply a polite letter of request.

Па́вел Ива́нович Сумаро́ков (1767 — 6 (18) сентября 1846) — русский чиновник и литератор из рода Сумароковых. Автор известного описания Новороссии, опубликованного в 1800 году. Племянник поэта А. П. Сумарокова, отец графа С. П. Сумарокова.

Жизнь и карьера
Родился около 1767 года в Москве, там же обучался в благородном пансионе при Московском университете. С 1781 года служил в Преображенском полку: унтер-офицером, с 1790 года — прапорщиком, с 1792 года — подпоручик, вышел в отставку в 1796 году в чине штабс-капитана.

В 1797 году перешёл на гражданскую службу в чине коллежского советника, в ходе служебных разъездов он пишет путевые записки, которые потом станут основой книги. В 1801 году ему присвоен чин статского советника.

В 1802 году П. И. Сумароков назначен членом Комиссии по спорам о землях в Крыму, и опять он пишет о своих путешествиях, подойдя к делу весьма капитально. Он нанимает французского рисовальщика Афанасия де Палдо и мастеров гравёров. До сих пор вторая книга Сумарокова ценнейший текстовый и иллюстративный источник по истории Крыма.

В 1807 году — на должности витебского губернатора, где проработал до 1812 года, затем, с 21.03.1812 года — новгородский губернатор. По сообщению Свербеева:

В 1813 году по протекции Сумарокова, на должность новгородского вице-губернатора был назначен Н. Н. Муравьев, который, сойдясь близко с Аракчеевым, начал интриговать против своего начальника. Временщик, владевший в Новгородской губернии усадьбой Грузино, твердил императору, что губернатор Сумароков пьёт. Кикин пытался защитить честь приятеля и разубедить в этом государя, однако безуспешно.

В 1815 году Сумароков посреди ночи получил приказ выехать из губернии, причём был лишен жалованья, а на его место был назначен Н. Н. Муравьев.

С 1815 года состоял при Герольдии.

В 1820 году при финансовой поддержке друзей Сумароков совершил заграничное путешествие, о котором давно мечтал.

В 1821 году был назначен сенатором и получил чин тайного советника.

В 1826 г. был назначен в Верховный уголовный суд по делу декабристов.

В 1843 году по протекции сына получил чин 2-го класса.

Скончался в Петербурге 6 (18) сентября 1846 года. Похоронен на Митрофаниевском кладбище.

Семья

С 1785 года был женат на княжне Марии Васильевне Голицыной (1765—1847), дочери князя Василия Сергеевича Голицына и Варвары Петровны Бутурлиной. Брак этот не был счастливым, по отзыву современницы, Сумароков «был гулякой, а жена его сумасшедшая, у которой иногда даже случались припадки бешенства». Дети воспитывались в семье её кузена С. Ф. Голицына:
 Мария Павловна (1786—01.04.1882), с шести лет жила в доме князя Голицына, который любил её, как родную дочь. После его смерти жила в семье его сына Фёдора. По словам Ф. Ф. Вигеля, «воспитанная с детьми другого пола, она имела и сохранила много ухваток мальчика». Видевший её в 1817 году граф М. Бутурлин, вспоминал о ней как о «рыжеволосой зрелой девице, которая недурно певала романсы, аккомпанируя себе на фортепиано». Была близка ко двору великого князя Михаила Павловича и в летние сезоны «царила» в Павловске. С 1840-х годов и до самой смерти жила в доме на ул. Миллионной, где принимала раз в неделю. Скончалась в глубокой старости и была похоронена на городском кладбище при церкви Марии Магдалины в Павловске.
 Сергей Павлович (1793—1875), фаворит великого князя Михаила Павловича, генерал-адъютант, считался одним из лучших специалистов по вопросам артиллерии, получил в 1856 году графский титул, переданный впоследствии внуку Феликсу Сумарокову-Эльстону.

Twitter and TweetDeck suffer major outages
By Marce on	 2nd Oct 2019 Internet News, News
Are we in the upside-down? The platform we all flock to when Facebook or Instagram is down (good ole Twitter) has suffered major outages and connection issues over the past few hours. This includes the platform's scheduling dashboard TweetDeck.
The issue doesn't seem to be region-specific either. It has affected users globally according to outage report, and we're also having problems in South Africa. Since early this morning, TweetDeck seems to be properly spazzing out. A popup at the top of the screen keeps appearing and disappearing, while scheduled tweets won't load and everything is jumping up and down the screen.
https://stuff.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Screen-Recording-2019-10-02-at-09.10.29.mp4
Twitter made a tweet (good to see they are able to tweet) saying that it is aware of the issues and they are currently working on a fix. Problems have also hit regular Twitter users, who couldn't see new DMs and struggled to add images, videos and polls to tweets. The company said that everything "should be back to normal soon." But… they tweeted that statement two hours ago.
Everything on desktop Twitter seems to be back to normal, but TweetDeck is Spazzy McSpazzerson at the moment. We really hope (for the sanity of social media users everywhere) that a fix is pushed out very soon.

Digital Editor at Stuff. Nevermind the fancy title, I like writing about things that are cool. Like games, gadgets and sometimes even software. Depending on how cool it is.


A front-line employee of a casino is forced to obey two rules when it comes to casino customers. One, the player is always right, and two, if the player is wrong, see rule number one. Not easy when a decent percentage of players are running on high octane drinks and losing money. But that doesn't mean that the casino patron shouldn't at least know some table civilities. These social graces will go a long way in making both your stay and the employee's job more enjoyable.
Let's start with blackjack. Here is a table game where a manners referee (pit boss) is called into play most often.
• Know the hit/stand signals for the blackjack game you're playing.
• In baseball, it's two hands for beginners; on a live blackjack game, the opposite. Some casinos are real touchy-feely (throw you out) about you doing anything funny to the cards.
• Once you've placed your wager, don't touch your bet until you get paid.
• If the cards are running against you, don't keep asking for a new deck. If you don't like your cards, move to another table.
• Expect with abusive language an early departure from the casino.
• Don't ask the dealer what her hole card is. Dealers won't risk their job over your wager. There's nothing wrong with asking for advice, but not after the dealer looks under her face/ace.
• If you lose several hands in a row, don't accuse the dealer of cheating. Most (99%) don't. It's most likely a bad run of cards, plus, let's not discount poor play. Also, abusing the "messenger" for crummy cards lacks any form of civility.
• If you're using a basic strategy card (recommended), don't refer to it each and every hand. You should have a basic understanding on how to play most of your hands well before you sit down on a game.
• Using these lines? "Are you going to be nice to me?" Question is, are you going to be nice to them. "Where are you from?" It's most likely on their nametag. "Do you live here?" Yes, we're not Martians commuting from Mars. Instead, try some other light conversation.
• Don't walk up to a dealer and tell him he looks bored, make him shuffle an eight-deck shoe just to make one $5 bet, lose, then walk.
• Once the hand has been completed, don't turn your cards over to help the dealer. Dealers have a routine on the pickup and you're just slowing them down. Besides, dealers need to spread the cards a certain way so the cameras can read them.
• If the casino is crowded, limit your play to just one machine. For that manner, even when the casino isn't bustling, don't play more machines than you can "safely" watch over. Certain individuals make a career of ripping off inattentive players who don't monitor their machines.
• In video poker, confine yourself to playing just one machine https://uscasinosguide.com/bonus-slots/. Making correct decisions based on the cards dealt is much more difficult than pulling a slot handle.
• When taking a break or looking for a change person, a player will put a cup on her seat or on the handle indicating she is still playing that machine. Heed these signs. Separating a player from her favorite slot is like messing with the cubs of a mother bear.
• Some wagers like Pass/Don't Pass bets, odds, come bets, the Big 6/8 or field bets can be made by you. On the other wagers, place you money on the layout and ask the dealer to make those wagers for you.
• Keeps your hands off the table and out of the way of the dice being thrown. You do not want to disrupt the game by altering the toss with your hands.
• Tables have rails all around the game to store your gaming chips. Use them. Also, underneath there is shelving for your drinks.
• If you are the shooter, give the dice a good toss across the table. Never try to slide dice across the layout thinking you can control the outcome. The first time the boxman will call out, "No roll." The second time, possibly a slap on the wrist. The third—adios Amigo.
• If you are a Don't Pass bettor, don't scream out, "Come on, seven!" Betting against the majority of players is bad enough, but rooting against them and gloating after a win is a awful form.
• All seats in a casino are for players only. Most dealers are instructed to ask non-players to move.
• Roulette is a game where you exchange money for chips. The color coded chips are not allowed to be bet or intermingled by your friend's or family. If both you and your spouse are playing together, you will need to get separate-colored chips.
• Dealers will leave the winning bet on the layout. Your payoff on the inside wagers (numbers) will be slid to you. It is your responsibility to remove the winning bet if you don't want to play it the following spin. Outside wagers (red/black, odd/even, columns, etc.) will be left alongside your original winning wager.

Truth and Mercy Must Marry
- John Moore
sundaycreek@midrivers.com
http://www.johnlmoore.com/
There is a wedding that must occur which precedes the banquet between the Lamb and the Bride. It is the marriage of truth and mercy. Psalms 85:10-11 says: "Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven."
Throughout Scripture you find the yoking of truth with mercy. Proverbs 16:6 says: "In mercy and truth, Atonement is provided for iniquity." And Psalms 25:10: "All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and His testimonies."
This pattern is often found in human marriages. We hosted a wonderful pastor recently who told me: "I look for the good in everyone and sometimes I'm deceived. My wife discerns people instantly and she tells me exactly what she thinks."
The husband here is Pastoral. He may see the shortcomings in people but chooses to concentrate on their potential. The wife is prophetic. She warns of possibly dangerous character flaws. Which one is the better shepherd?
I know a similar couple where the husband's pastoral anointing graces a gentle nature. His two rambunctious children do much as they please under his watch. The wife is prophetic. She disciplines with a firm hand and a stern eye. Which is the better shepherd?
The answer is that neither is complete in itself.
The embrace in Psalm 85 is a clear picture of the need for the prophetic and the pastoral to come together. Must of us know this but few of us see it occurring. Verse 11 gives us a clue as to why.
"Truth shall bring out of the earth," it says. The root word of "humility" is humus, which Webster's defines as "the dark organic material in soils produced by the decomposition of vegetable or animal matter." Truth should be earthy and humble.
Humility is the decomposing of the arrogance of the flesh. While it's not good to be worldly, it is good to be "down-to-earth." The prophet John Sandford often expresses his thankfulness for growing up on an Oklahoma farm because it made him "earthy'.
Unfortunately, few pastors think of prophets as being humble and earthy. They often see prophets as mystical and ethereal. Air-heads, in other words.
The young prophet is often unstable because his "earth" is still the red clay of the Adamic nature. The fierce windstorms of testings force him to anchor himself in Christ. As he dies to the flesh the soil beneath him becomes enriched with nutrients. Rich soil, once watered by mercy from above, can produce life! While it is misperceived that the prophetic is ethereal, there is a mercy that is far more mystical and less earthy than the prophetic.
The pastor who always looks for the best in people may be operating with a mercy born from false hope. This is sensual and natural and comes from the unredeemed areas of his soul. If a prophet were to prophesy from this realm we would use the terms "soulish", "mixture", and even "psychic." If he persisted his way would be bent into manipulation and control. This we call witchcraft.
False mercy is no better.
The pastoral person operating in unsanctified mercy simply seems like a nice guy. He fits our worldly idea of what a "pastor" should look and sound like. "Love, Acceptance, and Forgiveness" was a hugely popular book born from the pastoral and teaching outpourings of the 60s and 70s. This title symbolizes the ideals (idols) of false mercy: Love. Accept. Forgive. It neglects the severity of God, the chastening of sons, and yes, even the Scriptural shunning of false brethren. It allows for wolves to enter sheep pens and it shelters sin with a false covering. False mercy is as surely from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil as soulish prophecy. There is nothing good in the natural human heart, including innate goodness.
Once human mercy is offered up as a sacrifice Godly mercy can come down from the heavens. It is this mercy -- not mercy that strains to find virtue in wickedness -- that triumphs over judgment.
False mercy will drive the prophetic from a congregation. It sees truth as unkind and intolerant. "We do not see our signs, there is no longer any prophet, " reads Psalms 74:9. Without road signs people lose their way. "Righteousness and peace have kissed each other," says Psalms 85, but Proverbs 24:26 adds that "He who has a right answer kisses the lips." The right answer is often released through the prophetic spirit while mercy without truth is simply flattery. Conversely, truth is likened to wisdom and wisdom is related Scripturally to honey. His truth is sweet.
Truth without mercy causes people to wither. Mercy without truth grows weeds. For the prophet and pastor to marry there must be a spirit of reciprocality . This denotes mutual respect, a giving that comes from both directions. Completeness. Balance. An equivalent counterpart. A reciprocal in mathematics means "the ratio of unity to a given quantity or expression; that by which the given quantity or expression is multiplied to produce unity.'
Math was never my subject, but it seems evident that the combining of separate but equal powers causes multiplication and unity.
In physical marriage, two become one flesh. My wife's tenderness and pastoral spirit has softened and smoothed my rough edges. My boldness and defense of truth has strengthened her. Yes, she is still who she is and I am still me.
In a spiritual marriage there is also an impartation of one to the other. It can be expressed with nouns and adjectives. The Pastor (noun) becomes Prophetic (adjective) producing a Prophetic Pastor. The Prophet (noun) receives an impartation of the Pastoral (adjective) to become a Pastoral Prophet. An adjective "qualifies" its subject. Consequently, the prophetic qualifies the Pastor and the pastoral qualifies the Prophet.
Throughout Scripture the wedding of mercy and truth produces healing in the land and a paved way before the Lord. Proverbs 2:3 even warns: "Let not mercy and truth forsake you," while Psalm 89 says: "Mercy and truth go before Your face."
Yokes are not designed to place one ox ahead of the other. They are designed side-by-side so that two can pull as one. Even when yokes are multiple as with Elijah and his 12-yoke team (24 oxen) the importance is not the placement of the ox but the plowing of the field.
There can be much disputing about which is the "set man", or senior elder in a congregation where there is multiple ministry.
In all truth, the "set man" sits at the right hand of the Father. He who performs the ceremony is greater than those being wedded.

This volume is both a tribute to Ulrich Felgner's research in algebra, logic, and set theory and a strong research contribution to these areas.
Felgner's former students, friends and collaborators have contributed sixteen papers to this volume that highlight the unity of these three fields in the spirit of Ulrich Felgner's own research.
The interested reader will find excellent original research papers and surveys that span the field from set theory without the axiom of choice via model-theoretic algebra to the mathematics of intonation.


Build up your forces and the castle itself and defend your current position until Sir Longarm arrives with reinforcements. You will be defending yourself against the Wolf's entire army in the biggest siege you have ever faced. Use knights to conduct sorties out of the castle.
All trade options are available in this mission.
A short mission this, which lasts about six years. In these six years you'll face four attacks from the Wolf's troops hitting you in ever increasing numbers. The attackers will include tunnelers, trebuchets, shields and rams, accompanied by crossbowmen, archers, macemen, pikemen, swordsmen and knights. The attacks, as you can gather, come pretty fast upon each other so you haven't got much time to prepare or repair.
After a few false starts to 'check out the terrain' I started by upping the rations and adding some bakeries, a hops farm, brewery and an inn. Once they were up I increased my taxes to where I was getting about 8 gold per turn.
Next I added two more houses, two woodcutters inside the castle, a set of stables and started recruiting knights and missile troops. Once I had knights I sent them out to wait in the open fields for the Wolf's engineers to appear. To obstruct the first invasion I added a few random bits of wooden wall about halfway between the invasion point and the castle.
The attackers come screaming in and, with a little jaundiced use of the knights, I manage to destroy most of the siege equipment before it can do much damage. The bits of wall distract the tunnelers. My knights flee to safety, losing 25% of their number while the rest of the castle sustains and repels the brunt of the attack.
I increase the wall thickness, buying stone, as my quarry is destroyed, engineers and more missile troops, while placing a few mangonels and ballistas on the larger towers. Pitch is added to some of the more vulnerable parts and the next two attacks whittle away more of my troops and gold reserves. However, after the smoke clears, the castle still stands.
The final attack sends in the biggest amount of troops yet. My knights are slain, but not before the penultimate engine is destroyed. Only a ram approaches the castle but it is soon destroyed by fire from my own engines. Pikemen attack my walls and burn to death under boiling pitch as do several waves of swordsmen. I sell part of my arms and armour to allow myself more swordsmen all gathered round the Lord in case of a breach. Several swordsmen break through the weakened walls and the Wolf's knights stream in through the gap. As I send in my swordsmen, I also release my wardogs and soon the knights lie dying, while the last enemy swordsmen is burned to a crisp on the other side of the castle.
The end results show me it wasn't as hard as I thought.

Кристиа́н Рануччи́ (, 6 апреля 1954 года — 28 июля 1976 года) — французский преступник, казнённый за похищение и убийство 8-летней девочки Марии-Долорес Рамбла. Его дело вызвало дебаты о смертной казни во Франции после того, как юрист и журналист Жиль Перро опубликовал книгу «Красный пуловер» (1978). В ней Перро оспаривал вину Рануччи, чем оказал заметное влияние на общественное мнение. Книга вызвала резонанс, было продано более 1 миллиона экземпляров.

Биография
Его мать Элоиза Маттон (16.09.1922 — 2013) родилась в Авиньоне. Её родители были уроженцами Лозера, оба происходили из бедных семей крестьян. С самого детства Элоизе приходилось много работать по дому. В 18 лет она сбежала из дома. Отец к тому времени стал домашним тираном, а слепая мать сильно замкнулась в себе. Она долго путешествовала по Франции автостопом и вернулась домой, лишь узнав о тяжёлой болезни матери. Некоторое время она работала официанткой, а после того как её матери стало лучше, она уехала жить в Марсель. Там она работала няней, а после окончания войны — официанткой в таверне. В скором времени она усыновила мальчика из приюта, а ещё чуть позднее вышла замуж за молодого краснодеревщика. Семейная жизнь не задалась, и в скором времени супруги мирно разошлись. 20 мая 1952 года Элоиза вышла замуж за моряка, итальянца Жана Рануччи. 6 апреля 1954 года у них родился сын Кристиан.

Рануччи был атлетически сложен, очень худ и высокого роста. Он был очень близорук и постоянно носил очки.

Убийство Мари-Долорес Рамбла
Мари была дочкой помощника пекаря. Кроме Мари-Долорес, в семье было 3 детей. Днём 3 июня 1974 года Мари-Долорес Рамбла пропала без вести во время игры во дворе жилого комплекса, где жила их семья. Её младший брат Жан, игравший с ней, рассказал позднее, что к ним на машине подъехал какой-то молодой мужчина в сером костюме. Он попросил Жана поискать чёрную собаку, а Мари — остаться с ним. Жан обошёл несколько домов, не нашёл собаку. Он вернулся обратно во двор, но Мари, неизвестный мужчина и машина исчезли.

Её отец почти сразу же обратился в полицию. У него не было никаких версий произошедшего. Их дочь не имела привычки общаться с незнакомцами, у их семьи не было врагов, сама семья Рамбла была очень благополучной. На следующий день известие о пропаже девочки было напечатано во всех городских газетах на первых полосах. Полиция приложила все усилия в поисках девочки. Полицейские обошли множество местных квартир, были задействованы поисковые собаки. Полиция по телевизору просила всех возможных свидетелей позвонить на горячую линию.

Днём 5 июня тело девочки было найдено под колючим кустарником. Она была исколота ножом, изнасилования не было. Вечером того же дня Рануччи был арестован по обвинению в ДТП. В скором времени ему предъявили обвинение в убийстве Рамбла. Против Рануччи были определённые улики, сам он путался в показаниях. Свидетели обвинения не смогли его опознать.

Расследование и суд над Рануччи проходили в очень необъективных условиях. Уже на следующий день после ареста городские газеты назвали его убийцей. Местные жители обсуждали возможность самосуда. Сам Марсель (город, где произошло преступление) на тот момент был неблагополучным местом — в нём происходило много краж и изнасилований, да и межнациональная рознь была очень сильна.

После казни
28 июля 1976 года Рануччи был казнён в 04:13 в тюрьме Бомет. До самой смерти он повторял, что невиновен. Несмотря на большой резонанс, известие о казни Рануччи ушло на второй план. Жители Франции в этот день ждали победы Ги Дрю на Олимпийских Играх в Монреале.

Как правило, казнённых хоронили в безымянных могилах в неизвестных для общественности местах. Мать Рануччи, однако, добилась того, чтобы тело её сына было выдано ей. В августе того же года Рануччи был похоронен на городском кладбище Cimetière Saint-Véran. Его мать регулярно приносила на могилу белые цветы — символически это означало, что её сын невиновен. Однако кто-то неизвестный так же регулярно заменял белые цветы красными, что символизировало виновность Рануччи.

В 2006 году, во время процесса над серийным убийцей Мишелем Фурнире, ходили слухи, что маньяк посещал процесс по делу Рануччи. Однако позже это было опровергнуто.

Брат убитой девочки Жан Батист Рамбла в начале 2000-х сам совершил убийство женщины, за что был приговорен к 18 годам лишения свободы, освободившись досрочно совершил покушение на убийство молодой девушки, за что снова был осужден, вкупе с нарушением условий досрочного освобождения, к пожизненному лишению свободы.

Мнения
Уже после казни Рануччи были предприняты 3 попытки пересмотра его дела. (в 1978, 1981 и 1990 году). Все они не увенчались успехом. Валери Жискар д'Эстен, в 1976 году подписавший смертный приговор Рануччи, в 2010 году заявил, что никогда не сомневался в его вине.

Мишель Фуко, прочитав книгу Жиля Перро, заявил о своей уверенности в невиновности Рануччи. Он опубликовал статью, где критиковал следствие над Кристианом.

В массовой культуре
 В 1978 году юрист и журналист Жиль Перро опубликовал книгу «Красный пуловер». В ней Перро оспаривал вину Рануччи, чем оказал заметное влияние на общественное мнение. Год спустя книга была экранизирована.
 В 2005 году командир уголовной полиции в отставке Жерар Буладу опубликовал ответную книгу: «L'Affaire du pull-over rouge, Ranucci coupable ! : Un pull-over rouge cousu… de fil blanc» («Дело о красном свитере, Рануччи виновен! Красный пуловер, шитый белыми нитками», книга на русский язык не переведена), прямо противоположную версии, разработанной Жилем Перро. В 2006 году в своей второй книге "«Autopsie d'une imposture. L'affaire Ranucci: toute la vérité sur le pull-over rouge», Буладу доказывает виновность Рануччи и критикует Перро, называя «Красный пуловер» откровенной манипуляцией.

Writing a novel can seem scary at the outset, but it doesn't have to be that way. In this twelve-week master class for writers at every stage of the novel-writing process—from the first couple of chapters to finished draft—we will dissect the craft and creation of the novel, with the hopes of better understanding how to write our own. To ensure that every student gets focused and rigorous attention on their work, this class is limited to six writers.
While you do not need a full draft to apply for the novel generator, writers should have a project in mind and at least a few pages of a work-in-progress. The class will be built to spark new work and generate ideas as much as to refine existing material. All genres and styles of writing are welcome; in this workshop, as in all Catapult classes, we will read each project on its own terms, taking into consideration the aims and goals of the writer. Though critique will be keen and precise, we will celebrate the small and large successes along the way, making sure that all writers leave motivated and with a sense of direction. The class atmosphere is one of honesty, fun, respect, and rigor.
Writers will graduate this class with a first (or most of a) full draft of a novel as well as the necessary tools to revise their novel into its clearest and most powerful form. The last live chat will include a virtual meet and greet with leading literary agents, and every writer will have the chance to pitch their work and make valuable connections.
We will alternate weeks between craft discussions—in which we'll analyze subjects like theme, character, style, POV, and plot while developing a shared vocabulary for discussing each other's writing—and workshops. For the first six workshops, two writers will submit 50-100 pages of their books. The final six workshops will be individual, with just one writer up for discussion.
We will read up to 300 pages—either starting from the beginning, if revisions have been made to the earlier sections, or from the point where the previous submission left off. Writers should be prepared to give thorough feedback on each other's work in the form of a typed letter of no fewer than 500 words—line edits and in line comments are not mandatory, but are encouraged.
The instructor will deliver her feedback in private meetings that follow each workshop—meaning each student gets two one-on-one meetings—and will also submit one typed editorial memo with specific suggestions for revision at the end of the course.
To apply, please submit the first chapter of your novel-in-progress (up to 25 pages). Writers should be prepared to workshop 25-100 pages of their novel drafts by the time the course begins.
Payment plans are available for this class.
Taylor Larsen is a graduate of Columbia University's MFA program in fiction writing. Taylor currently teaches fiction writing for Catapult and The Sackett Street Writers Workshop. Taylor is the author of the debut novel, Stranger, Father, Beloved, which released in July 2016 (Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster). She is the co-editor for the literary website, The Negatives. Her stories have appeared or are forthcoming in Joyland, The Brooklyn Review, and Windmill: The Hofstra Journal of Literature & Art.
"Taylor not only made me a better writer but made me remember what it is I love about writing in the first place. Her enthusiasm bled into everything we discussed which made her critiques that much more effective in conveying how I could reshape or alter my work. The nuanced way she wove helpful suggestions into class helped me become a better reader as well a writer. I found that with Taylor's help, I was better able to articulate what I wanted to achieve through my work. In addition I was better able to articulate my criticisms of others. Both of these were key in being better able to assess my own writing. Taylor's suggestions always seemed to make my writing stronger and her encouragement helped give me a voice. I am now confident to continue in the writing process but also to pursue submitting my pieces for publication."
"Taylor is the consummate teacher and guide through the unwieldy world of fiction writing. She is a great listener and always encouraging, but she is also very realistic about what works and what does not work in a story or a chapter. She made me appreciate my own writing voice, which is probably the most valuable belief a teacher can inspire within a writer."
"Taylor was a generous, fun and kind editor, who has both an incredibly sharp eye for tracking the larger scope of the novel, while also paying attention to the line-level edits that get you there. She does a great job of channeling what you are striving for within your work, getting excited about that with you, and then helping you sharpen both those things which are your greatest strengths as well as identifying and tightening the weak spots. I can't recommend her highly enough."
"A mesmerizing, unsparing exploration of one man's descent, told in subtle, precise language that is reminiscent at times of Raymond Carver, Haruki Murakami, and Carson McCullers, but entirely Larsen's own creation; a wonderful debut."
"Larsen makes a noteworthy debut with a family drama that explores loyalty, lies, and well-being…Larsen captures every nuance with finesse, every emotion with grace. An emotionally intelligent family drama that examines the breaking point of a marriage."
"Larsen's ability to understand the deep desires of her characters is where her brilliance lies; even if they are not realized, we know them intimately through the sheer strength and precision of her prose."
