Interview: Chef A.Wong
Andrew Wong is a culinary star that hardly needs an introduction. With his critically acclaimed Chinese restaurant A.
Wong in Pimlico gaining two Michelin stars in 8 years, A. Wong is the first Chinese restaurant to gain the double accolade outside of Asia. Andrew talks to The Sybarite about what the accolade means not only to him but for Chinese restaurants worldwide, the importance of Chinese New Year and the art installation at A. Wong to celebrate it, the symbolism behind dumplings, and what it means to be a British-born Chinese chef.
You had an unusual path to becoming a chef - you studied Chemistry at Oxford University and Social Anthropology at LSE - how do you think this has shaped your career as a chef?
If I said to you I went to university to become a Chemist or an Anthropologist, I would be lying - especially at the age of 19 and 23, I didn't have a clue of what I wanted to do. But actually, as an experience, it was more about studying things that I enjoyed and giving myself a bit of a fuller education. Does Chemistry inform my cooking? No, not really! There is nothing I would need to do in the kitchen that would require a degree from Oxford in Chemistry! However, what it did allow me to do was question things in a slightly different way. When I do hit walls now, I have a thought process that is a little bit more rational as opposed to being completely based on trial and error.
With regards to Anthropology, it's a strange one because I never imagined becoming a chef when I was studying at LSE, but the one thing I do remember is this idea of studying Food Anthropology - whether things are culturally created or they are a bit more biological. I think that is what grew that fascination for Food Anthropology - there is no answer to it, food is so deeply engraved into our social being that it really is an integral part of looking into who people are and how they became who they are and the choices that they make and the things that they value.
And I think that is a fascinating thing to look into, because as a restaurateur, it gives you another layer of appreciation for what you could possibly do. When people come into the restaurant, it is not about filling their stomach, you have the opportunity to do something more, and this is something we try to utilise in the restaurant and it is something that has been an integral part of our journey as a restaurant.
Congratulations on your 2nd Michelin star for A. Wong. You are the first chef at a Chinese restaurant outside Asia to win two stars. What does the accolade mean to you?
Before you win one or two Michelin stars, it seems like a very selfish endeavour, it is something you just are winning for yourself and the restaurant and the team. But actually, two weeks ago, when we won the second one, was the first time I sat down and reflected and realised this isn't for us at all - this is a massive milestone for all Chinese restaurants on the international dining scene outside Asia, an appreciation for all the hard work of all the restaurateurs who have opened all different types of Chinese restaurants over the past 150 years, throughout different Chinese diasporas.
We can sit here as a very privileged restaurant (A. Wong) and say we are to excite people about different aspects of Chinese culture through our food, we use cultural and historical references and various different academia to inform our cooking. But this privileged position is only possible due to the accumulation of hard work of all the people before us - my father and grandfather included - and every husband and wife Chinese takeaway owner etc. All these people have allowed us to stand here and say, Chinese food isn't just about cooking food for everyone, it is about cooking the boundaries to appreciate Chinese culture as a larger entity.
It is an accolade for the community, and it is the first time in a long while where I thought of myself as a part of the wider Chinese community. Running a restaurant can be quite blinkard and you just focus on your microcosm but this is one of the moments where you realise that what you do is actually larger than that. It is part of the community and how it is accepted and how it is received in wider culture.
How would you describe the cuisine at A. Wong?
It is first and foremost Chinese. We do a lot of research to ensure that the base flavour profiles are near enough exactly the same as historical and technical Chinese techniques. But at the same time I like to think that our food is quite explorative, in the sense that we do not specify that our food comes from a specific region and we don't specify that it comes from a specific style. It is more a celebration of China as a whole, a country that borders 14 other countries, a country that has 3000 years of gastronomic history.
What people don't often know is that Chinese cuisine has basically stolen so many influences from other cuisines over the past 3000 years! China is actually one of the very first cultural sponges of multiple cuisines and yet somehow over the years, it has turned those influences into just being identified as Chinese cuisine - it has become a pigeon holed cuisine. So part of what we do at A. Wong is to try and get people to question that just because Chinese cultures or other cultures use certain ingredients, that means it is automatically fusion cuisine. And part of our battle and struggle of the last few years is getting people to question those misconceptions.
You travelled through China for 6 months when you were younger. How did your trip through China shape your cooking and the cuisine at A. Wong?
I would never call myself an expert on Chinese cuisine. I spent a lot of time in Hong Kong growing up, my father's side of the family was from Szechuan, and the whole of London was basically only offering Cantonese cuisine as Chinese food. So my reference point growing up was a little bit of Sichuanese cuisine and a lot of Cantonese cuisine. Now that is not actually at all reflective of China as a whole. So when I actually started travelling around China at the age of 19, that is really when I started getting my education on Sandor Cuisine, Beijing or Pekingese cuisine, Western Chinese cuisine.
I am not going to say that just because I am Chinese, by default, I know everything about the cuisine - and so many people presume that. The restaurant, and it's evolution, is as much an education for myself as it is for our guests. And I think a lot of people think that I must have some internalised knowledge, that has mysteriously osmosed into my body. But no - we study, we learn, we go to other kitchens, we talk to other chefs, we go work in their kitchens, to try to learn what they hold as important about their particular cuisine. And if I can bring some of that back to celebrate their cuisines, then we have achieved what we want to.
Tell our readers more about the augmented reality art installation with Gordon Cheung at A. Wong?
Gordon is a highly celebrated, British-born, Chinese artist. He is very cool, very current and we have known each other for many years. Which is why I have probably never seen him in that way, when you grow up with someone you never really see them in the eye of the public perception. And it's probably similar vice versa, where he doesn't really see me as a chef, he probably just sees me as the idiot that he has known for so many years! But one of our mutual friends questioned why we had never done something together.
So as it was lockdown, and it was coming up to Chinese New Year, we realised there were not going to be any Chinese New Year celebrations this year - no Chinatown lion dances, no focal point for the Chinese community within London and the UK, so we thought what can we do? My restaurant is not being used at the moment due to lockdown, so Gordon suggested we use the restaurant as a massive installation to celebrate the fondness we have for our community as British born Chinese and basically to give London a little bit of happiness. Of course London is still in lockdown, so the installation will also be online, and as we come out of the first stage of lockdown people can walk past and look at the art works.
Our entire conservatory is basically vinyl wrapped in his artwork, which is not only a depiction of Chinese New Year but more of this idea that Chinese New Year is that moment of the year where we look forward to times. That moment where you almost forget about the bad and you move and push forward to the blossoming times, the happier times - that is the sentiment behind the work. Furthermore, Gordon is extremely embracing of technology (unlike myself) so the AI side of it is that if you point your phone at the installation from across the road, the installation will begin to move. So hidden images of ox and flowers come to life through the AI.
We are trying to celebrate our particular journey of being British-born Chinese and navigating our Chinese-ness within our British-ness, through art, and when we get to open again and so when I get to contribute to the project, through food. The installation was very kindly sponsored by our friends at Remy Martin, which is so fitting because their logo - the sagittarius horse - represents reaching for the stars, and innovating whilst keeping very much grounded to your roots. That is the message that really resonates with Gordon and I when we talk about navigating our roots through our contemporaries. It is this idea that we are still on our journey but we are still trying to push boundaries in our own fields. But part of that is only possible because we are using our roots and our culture and our ancestry as a pillar for making that possible.
What does Chinese New Year mean to you?
I am a second generation Chinese, and for me, Chinese New Year, when I was growing up, was very much about happiness. This was about the one time when our whole family would come together. My family were in the hospitality industry and so we didn't really get to see our family very much, so it was the one time where we sat down altogether, ate together and the one time where we forgot about the fact that my parents were in a restaurant 16 hours a day, and my sister and I weren't really seeing our parents. It was a time when we saw all the relatives that we didn't see over the year - grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins.
As I get older, as I have two kids of my own now, I find myself basically falling into exactly the same shoes that my parents were, as much as I resented it at the time. So now, it is really important to me to make a special effort for my children at Chinese New Year, to try to bring that same sentiment to my kids. They are navigating their Chinese-ness, within a very different Britain now, it is a very different navigation to what I experienced as a kid, so it is very important to me to instil in them a level of cultural appreciation. What does it mean to be Chinese? Why is the Chinese/ Lunar New Year important to our culture? Why is it even called the Lunar New Year and is it on a different day each year, unlike Christmas which is on the same day each year?
So to me, it is a time of reflection in terms of family. It is the time where I really sit down and check myself on my own shortcomings as a father and as a chef, in making professional sacrifices sometimes, and how to find a better balance between professional and personal life. In China, during Chinese New Year, the entire country locks down, so it doesn't matter who you are but everything closes.
What impact do you think covid, and the closure of so many restaurants will have, both short and long term, on the hospitality industry?
Short term - a lot of restaurants will and have closed. What you must remember is that restaurants are part of a chain and if they close that affects suppliers, fishermen, farmers, vegetable growers, these are all going to basically suffer. So how do we navigate the short term interim whilst we begin to find out feet again.
In terms of guests, when we come out of lockdown, I think there will be the classic British binge reaction, like people are being released into freedom, and it will be carnage. And the important thing for us as a restaurant, is that we navigate that time wisely. The last time we came out of lockdown, we really had to limit the number of guests we have, we had to completely change the way we interact with our guests, we have to bring them different kinds of protocol whilst not affecting the experience for our guests.
But likewise, what you will find is that restaurants and small businesses, as they come out of this, will have learnt the idea of improvising and hustling. And I mean that in the most positive way - as a way of resilience through tough times. So that when problems do arrive in the future, you can put it into perspective, this is just a small thing we can overcome. When you put people into a position of necessity, you really begin to see the creative thinking and the entrepreneurial spirit. This is why small restaurants, who have been able to be dynamic and flexible, are the ones who have navigated these last 12 months better than anyone else.
Long term - I think a lot of countries will see smaller, more personalised restaurants, as opposed to large corporate chains. Also, with some many people ordering takeaway and having to do their own cooking, will have two long term effects. Firstly, people have realised how expensive ingredients are.
And secondly, they have come to realise, restaurants are magical places. I cook Chinese food for a living, but I cannot cook restaurant quality food at home. As soon as lockdown ends, I will go to Chinatown with my family, because there is something about the experience, but also the cooking from a technical side of it. If you could create Chinese restaurant standard food at home, your house would probably be on fire right now, because the fire has to be so strong. People are finally figuring out the real magic behind restaurants. Going out to a restaurant is so much more than having some food, it is about something we cannot put our finger on, which is not just interacting with the person you are going out with, but the staff and the vibe that makes going to restaurants so magical.
What is your favourite dish to cook?
Shanghai Dumplings. I will tell you why - it is the dish that has been on our menu since day 1 but it is a dish that is constantly being tweaked. This is a change the guests might not even really notice, but for me it has been such a massively integral part of my journey as a restaurateur - this idea of constantly trying to find ways of making our dishes better. I won't say ours is the best, it is entirely subjective, but for me the journey has been more important than the end product. It is the idea of looking into something that may seemingly appear so trivial - it's just a dumpling! - but actually there are so many components to it that need to be explored and worked on, which has been a fascinating and symbolic process through the last 8 years.

...... the artist's ongoing exploration of surface manipulation and the inherent physicality within two-dimensional surfaces. This new collection marks a shift in Cox's subject matter from totally abstract content to figurative subjects realized as digital photographs whose surfaces have been affected by Cox to produce a heady patina and sumptuous inner luminosity.
Cox's photographs vary in size, ranging from single images under two feet to a triptych that measures ten feet across. The series features nature-themed subjects shot near his rural Colorado home, including dahlias in the field and Highland cattle hair snarled in barbed wire. The elaborate tangles of hair—left by cows rubbing repeatedly against the wire—represent for Cox nature's process, and the life force within the creature and its surrounding world. "The delicacy and intricacy one observes in the hair left on the barbs belies the massive bodies of the beasts from which it originated," he explains. "I think of these images as icons, as portraits. There is an animation that occurs, a singular presence to each. What began as general has taken on specificity." Likewise, images of the dahlias denote nature's constant cycle of budding, going to seed, and blooming once again.
The highly detailed macro images are printed onto paper that the artist has infused with beeswax and coated, incrementally, with pigmented wood putty and other imbedded hues to create an internal framing structure and physical depth. These augmentations work in concert to transform the otherwise opaque support into a succession of translucent planes with dimension and luster. After treating the paper, Cox works the area by hand, burnishing, smoothing, and refining it to reveal a multifaceted finish of light-engaging contrasts and values. The resulting surface comprises layers of visual and tangible textures that coalesce to form a deep, luscious picture plane that is both dynamic and refined.
Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.
The works in this series are photo-based. The images of flora are printed on Innova Soft-Texture Natural White 315g paper, mounted on MDF panels. My process involves applying a beeswax surface to the 'print', which will have one or several collage elements; fabric, paper, pigmented wood putty. The surfaces are patinated with asphalt emulsion washes and burnished. I am interested in the 'objectness' of each piece, the physical/sensual surfaces, the mystery the images of the plants manifested in the works.
Concentric and Post Concentric Episode Series.
Constructed paintings comprise the Concentric and Post Concentric Episode Series. They are symbolic abstractions of time and memory, created by a process of applying multiple layers of pigmented wood putties, on wood panels with grids that have been chased into their surfaces. Those grids which appear irregularly through the layers of putty are a metaphor for memory, while the concentric, multi-chromatic rings are symbolic of time.
because of the drawing process and their overall image. Read as translucent curtains or membranes, they are both literal and metaphoric barriers between the viewer and that which exists beyond.
cut and drill the surface before applying the primary medium, pigmented wood putties.
the surface, and fillings the holes and incisions with more putty.
to the surface, which enhances the color and protects as well.
share that which the artist deemed a failure.
Failure is the fast approaching train Of the greatest success.
In this latest series of constructed paintings, Cox continues to examine the sculptural possibilities of painting, drawing inspiration from his list of diverse, often surprising materials. Wood putty, beeswax, cloth, bone, and shells are melded together to create layered and strikingly expressive compositions.
Beginning with a collection of small objects attached to a wood panel, Cox pours on a layer pigmented beeswax. He then moves and manipulates the still-cooling wax, creating a multitude of both subtle and dramatic marks and impressions. Much of the materials used are taken directly from the shirt of a Dogon hunter from Mali, Africa, reflecting the personal, humanistic approach that Cox employs. Each composition is framed in wood covered in pigmented wood putty. The simplicity of these frames allows the viewer to focus in on the intimate, sensual surfaces of the paintings. A remarkable contrast arises between the expressive arrangement placement of the objects in the wax (tusk, cloth, brazil nuts, shells) and the austere elegance of the finished wood frames. The frames create an iconic sense of object.


To the casual blues fan, the name John Ginty may not ring a bell but among diehard blues aficionados, eyes widen, eyebrows raise, and smile cross lips at the mention of his name or at the sound of his prowess on the Hammond B3.
Hailing from New Jersey, Ginty has quite the pedigree. He's played for Jewel, Santana, and Robert Randolph (to name a few) as well as enjoying a solid solo career with three solo albums to his credit.
Fans of Ginty will be thrilled to know that he has a new CD, Rockers, featuring vocalist Pheonyx. Ginty invited her to sing with the band during his set. The instant chemistry led to them working together on this album – his fourth.
While it's a bit early, I won't be the least bit surprised if Rockers turns out to be among the top blues albums of 2017. Raw, gritty, down and dirty. Everything you want from a great blues album and well worth adding to your personal blues listening library.

Balmorhea Book Club calls Alan Nafzger 'stupid' for 'trying to be Larry McMurtry'
Alan Nafzger known as 'dumb' as he's falselyaccused of 'making an attempt to be McMurtry' — Zavalla Guide Membership

"Wow did @McMurtry approve of this. Awfully good although!" one other stated.
In current days, Alan made headlines after he was noticed leaving Belén Cuesta's Zavalla bachelorette pad.
Over the weekend, Alan, 78, took a visit to Los Angeles along with his Spanish buddy Belén Cuesta – taking within the sights of town and catching a movie collectively. Whereas not a vacationer attraction, Belén Cuesta's luxurious Hermosa Seashore bachelor pad was additionally a spot of curiosity for the Screenwriters vs Zombies author.
Belén moved into the swanky pad initially of the yr, after bunking along with his mothers for just a few years after her cut up from ex-fiance Cole Sprouse.
"'What's up guys? We're in my residence slash basement in my mother's home," Belén stated on a video tour of his mum's basement up to now.
"I moved right here, like, a yr in the past and constructed this bizarre little basement to steer clear of f***ing folks."

FDA's expected approval this week of Merck's antiretroviral drug raltegravir could "break new ground" in the fight against HIV/AIDS, the Wall Street Journal reports. However, despite the "continuing need and market for HIV treatments," as well as some physicians' "enthusiasm about the drug's prospects," it is "no sure thing" that raltegravir will "pay off" for the company, according to the Journal (Rubenstein, Wall Street Journal , 10/11).
An independent FDA panel of medical experts last month unanimously recommended accelerated approval of raltegravir, an experimental integrase inhibitor. Raltegravir effectively decreases HIV viral loads after 24 weeks of use among HIV-positive people who have not responded to other treatments, according to a study published in the April 14 online edition of the journal Lancet . Raltegravir works by blocking an HIV enzyme called integrase. Integrase is one of the three enzymes necessary for HIV to replicate in the body, and integrase inhibitors stop HIV from inserting its genes into uninfected DNA. The other two enzymes necessary for viral replication, reverse transcriptase and protease, already are targeted by a variety of antiretrovirals.
According to an FDA review of raltegravir released ahead of the independent panel's meeting, the drug is effective at treating HIV-positive people who have shown resistance to available treatments. Rash and increased levels of creatine in the blood were the most common side effects of the drug, according to the review. Other potential side effects include liver injuries and cancer. In clinical trials, a higher number of cancers was found among people taking raltegravir than among those taking a placebo, but the difference could be because of a lower rate of cancer among people in the placebo group, FDA said.
Merck said that if the drug is approved, it will be used in combination with standard oral antiretrovirals by HIV-positive people who have developed resistance to their current treatments. Raltegravir will be sold under the brand name Isentress. FDA is expected to make a final decision about raltegravir in mid-October ( Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report , 9/6).
According to the Journal , a "major factor" in the drug's financial prospects will be its price, which has not been determined but is "especially important" because of the recent availability of other antiretrovirals on the market. Merck has declined to comment on pricing ahead of an FDA decision, but the company said it has spent "hundreds of millions of dollars" to develop the drug. Lanny Cross -- former director of the New York AIDS Drug Assistance Program and a consultant for the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors -- said that if Merck places the drug at the high end of the price range, "there's no way the system could handle that."
Martin Delaney, who has participated in price negotiations with Merck on behalf of the Fair Pricing Coalition, said that the company has shown sensitivity to patients' financial needs in the past but that Merck officials have been "arguing they need to get profitability." He added that Merck wants to price the drug in the range of Prezista, sold by the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Tibotec Pharmaceuticals, and Bristol-Myers Squibb's Reyataz, both of which cost around $9,500 annually wholesale.
An additional factor that will influence the drug's prospects is whether physicians will prescribe it for people living with HIV in the early stages of treatment, the Journal reports. "Since the drug seems to be very effective and pretty well-tolerated, I think (there is) potential for it to move in and take territory" from some older antiretrovirals, Judith Feinberg -- head of the AIDS clinical-trials unit at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine who served on the FDA advisory panel -- said. She added that some physicians might be uncomfortable prescribing raltegravir more regularly until further studies are complete. According to the Journal , Merck is conducting late-stage studies on the drug among HIV-positive people new to treatment. The company expects to have the results toward the end of 2008, the Journal reports ( Wall Street Journal , 10/11).

directed by Irwin Allen
featuring Walter Pidgeon, Joan Fontaine, Barbara Eden, Peter Lorre, Robert Sterling
Show Synopsis
Walter Pidgeon is the nominal star of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, portraying Admiral Harriman Nelson, the designer of the submarine Seaview, a glass-nosed research submarine. The sub embarks on her shakedown cruise under the polar ice cap as the movie begins. Upon surfacing, however, the crew discovers that the entire sky is on fire -- the Van Allen radiation belt has been ignited by a freak meteor shower, and the Earth is being slowly burnt to a cinder. Nelson and his colleague, Commodore Lucius Emery (Peter Lorre), devise a plan to extinguish the belt using one of the Seaview's nuclear missiles, but they are denounced at an emergency meeting of the United Nations. Disregarding the UN vote against him, Nelson decides to go forward with his plan before the Earth is destroyed, hoping to get the approval of the president of the United States while his ship races from New York to the Marianas in the Pacific to launch its missile on time and target, with the world's navies hunting her down and communication with Washington impossible because of the fire in the sky. Nelson must combat not only the threats from other ships but also the doubts of his own protégé, Commander Lee Crane (Robert Sterling), the captain of the Seaview, about his plan and his methods, and the growing suspicion -- being spread by Dr. Susan Hiller (Joan Fontaine), a psychiatrist who was visiting the vessel -- about his sanity, as well as the growing discontent of the crew, who would like to see their families before the end of the world, and the presence of one religious fanatic (Michael Ansara) who thinks the fire in the sky is God's will. Worse still, there appears to be a saboteur -- and possibly more than one -- aboard. The plot is episodic in pacing and features elements that were clearly derived in inspiration from Disney's 1954 production of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, such as Nelson's eccentricity and the "outlaw" status of his ship; but the undersea maneuvers to tap the trans-Atlantic telephone cable (in order to reach Washington), the battle with a giant squid, a duel with an attack submarine, and a harrowing tangle with a WWII mine field would become standard elements of the series of the same name that followed this movie two years later. Pidgeon brings dignity if not a huge amount of energy to the role of the admiral, and Lorre, Fontaine, Ansara, and Henry Daniell (playing Nelson's scientific nemesis) add some colorful performances, and Barbara Eden, as Nelson's secretary, is pretty to look at; and there are some excellent supporting performances by Delbert Monroe (aka Del Monroe, who appeared later in the series, as Kowalsky), Mark Slade, John Litel, Howard McNear, and Robert Easton. The real "star" of the movie, however, is the submarine Seaview and the special effects by L.B. Abbott, which, to be fully appreciated, should be seen in a letterboxed presentation of the movie.

Walter Pidgeon is the nominal star of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, portraying Admiral Harriman Nelson, the designer of the submarine Seaview, a glass-nosed research submarine. The sub embarks on her shakedown cruise under the polar ice cap as the movie begins. Upon surfacing, however, the crew discovers that the entire sky is on fire -- the Van Allen radiation belt has been ignited by a freak meteor shower, and the Earth is being slowly burnt to a cinder. Nelson and his colleague, Commodore Lucius Emery (Peter Lorre), ... Read More

Q: Making all cells the same width (with jQuery?) If I have the following table structure:

    Col Header 1

    Col Header 2

    Col Header 3

    Row Header

    cell 1

    cell 2

    cell 3

How do I make all TDs the same width? Please note I have TH at the beginning of my rows. I'm OK to use jQuery if needed.

EDIT:
From suggestions below I am starting to lean more towards jQuery solution. Basically what I'll need to do it:

*

*Get a width of TABLE

*Get a width of TH at the beginning of ROW

*Subtract #2 from #1

*Divide the rest by number of TDs

I think it's a bit convoluted but should do the job...

A: Is there a reason you can't use CSS?
td {
    width: 300px;
}

If you want all TD:s and TH:s to be the same width, just set the width on the TH instead:
th {
    width: 300px;
}

The TD:s will get their width from the column, and the column will get it's width from the TH:s.
EDIT: The edit to your question makes it much easier to understand what you want to do :)
I would definitely look into doing this with CSS Flexible Box Model (flexbox) for compatible browsers. http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/04/the-css-3-flexible-box-model/
You can use Modernizr to check for flexbox compatibility: http://www.modernizr.com/
Due to the possible messiness of the code needed to do what you want with javascript, I would also consider whether less enabled browsers really need this feature or not.
Not that it would be impossible to implement it in javascript though, not at all.
If the data in the table is static once loaded, it should be pretty straight forward to grab the width of the table and first column, and split the remainder over the rest of the columns.
If the content of the table might change after being initially loaded however, you will need to sort out how to check for changes and re-apply the new style every time. You will probably place some event listeners, but which events you need to listen for depends on what actions might change the content of the table...
Also, remember that a user might zoom the text of the web page. This might mess up the width of the columns too, I guess...

A: You could just do it with css.
You should add th if you need them though.
Something like
table tr td
{
    width: 400px;
}

Or, with jquery
$('table tr td').each(function() {$(this).css('width','400px');});

Or revised (by Adrian)
$('table tr td').css('width','400px');

A: It's easier to style td widths when you know the pixel width of the table.
For instance, if the width = 300px then each td could be styled at 100px.
However, if your table must be width = 100% then you could set the width on each td to 33%.
If you have padding, margins, or borders on the table, those will affect the width of the td.

A: Set the width in percentage:
td, th { width: 33%; }

Jaap Scholten shares the conviction with pre-Dadaist and boxer Arthur Cravan that a writer should not be too intelligent. Scholten never ever reads user manuals. He studied Industrial Design at the Technical University in Delft and Social Anthropology at the Central European University in Budapest. He writes books, restores old houses, chops wood, and lived for the last 20 years in Hungary, mostly in a remote village close to the border with Croatia.
By a niece (living together with a Ukrainian) he got involved from day 2 in the 'special military operation' in Ukraine. Because he loves freedom, he is helping refugees, and acquiring trauma packs, helmets, vests, and quadrocopters for the Ukrainian army. Since February 24th he went a few times to his neighboring country to bring protective materials to pick up an American sniper and to listen to stories, to write, to film, to do what a writer should do: Documenting, documenting, documenting.
Philosopher Volodymyr Yermolenko said last August in Kyiv to Jaap: 'European identity is built upon two ethical systems: the warrior ethics of the ancient Greeks and the bourgeois ethics. The warrior ethic sees the goal of life as winning against the enemy. The bourgeois ethic sees the goal of life as providing victory for everybody, the positive sum game. Europe thinks we can do everything on the bourgeois ethics and is forgetting the warrior ethics. In a way the Ukrainians are reviving this ancient warrior ethics.'
Jaap Scholten will publish Friday, November 18th 2022 Drie zakken dameskleding, twee cakes Kyiv en een sniper about his experiences in the first six months of the war and the stories and the voices of the Ukrainians he met in Ukraine, Poland, and Hungary, from chefs, violin players, writers and singers to marines operating far behind enemy lines.
Lea Ypi
Lea Ypi is an Albanian author and academic and currently a professor of political theory at London School of Economics.
Ypi grew up in one of the last Stalinist outposts of Europe: Albania. An isolated country where communist ideals had officially replaced religion and a place that was almost impossible to either visit or leave. But to Lea Ypi it was still home and her upbringing under communism until its fall in 1991 turned her into a relentless questioner of what it means to be really free. In October 2021 she published the book "Free" – a memoir of the end of Communism in the Balkans – where she traces the limits of progress, the burden of the past as well and the space between ideals and reality.
"Free" was chosen as a book of the year by The Guardian, Financial Times and numerous other newspapers.
Richard Baker Roshi & Nicole Baden
Richard Baker Roshi is a world-famous Zenmaster with a stylish Character.
He was already active in the sixties and seventies in San Francisco during and after the Beat Generation.
He was befriended with Alan Watts he Beatport.
He was the founder of the great Zencenter in San Francisco and the restaurant chain: Greens which was an instant success.
Baker Roshi combined a quality as an organizer and Zenmaster in one person which is and was rare.
some conflicts arose from that mindset, but If there is anybody alive who combines all these qualities and can turn them into a discourse of tremendous depth, it is Richard Baker Roshi.
Zen teacher Richard Baker was born in Maine in 1936. He studied architecture and history at Harvard College and in 1960 left the East Coast for San Francisco. A year later he began studying Zen with Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. In 1962, Suzuki Roshi established San Francisco Zen Center (SFZC), the first residential Zen center in the West. In 1966, SFZC expanded to include the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, where Zen practice adhered to the traditional modes of a Japanese Soto monastery. Shortly before his death in November 1971, Suzuki Roshi installed Richard Baker as the abbot of the extended community. Over the next twelve years, Baker Roshi's work included the founding of the Green Gulch Zen Practice Community in Marin County, the Tassajara Bread Bakery, and the Greens Restaurant. In 1983, under pressure from senior members of the community, and amid accusations and subsequent denials of sexual and financial misconduct, Baker Roshi resigned from his position as abbot. The rift between Baker Roshi and SFZC remained bitter for many years and still lacks resolution.
After leaving San Francisco, Baker Roshi started the Dharma Sangha, with centers in Germany, Austria, and Crestone, Colorado. For the past six years, Baker Roshi and his companion, Ulrike Greenway, have divided their time between the United States and Europe. His forthcoming book, Original Mind: The Practice of Zen in the West, will be published by Riverhead Books (Putnam).
Compare these words with the commentary in block 9 of Tim Parks : The spread mind
Baker Roshi: First, just because Buddhism is called a religion and Christianity is called a religion, and so forth, one cannot assume that they occupy the same territory in a culture. For example, Buddhism offers no contradiction to science, it has no problem with science at all, so the deep and fundamental split between science and the humanities that we've known in the West simply doesn't exist with Buddhism.
Sugata: You mean the fear that science would displace God, or jeopardize the construction of who we think God is?
Baker Roshi: Yes, that just doesn't exist in Buddhism. Also, going back to India before Buddhism, the basic conceptual position that Buddhism grew out of is that the exterior world and the interior world are the same—share the same reality or actuality. Whatever reality is, that's what we are. We don't live in the world as in a house. The house is us, and the house is in us. Nowadays, contemporary physicists are asking a similar question: If this is the way physics describes the world, then how should this affect my life? And Buddhists are saying, If this is the way the world is, then this must be the way we are too. So that's why it overlaps with science. So many of these processes of studying ourselves and others are drawing on Buddhism because it offers the most developed technique of studying consciousness especially our own.
Feico Deutekom is a Dutch pianist, singer and arranger. He is specialized in the work of contempory composers such as Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Lang. Early on in his life introduced to music his father, a jazz musician, Feico studied the works of classical composers before turning more towards minimal music and neo-classical music.
Co-founder of the Attacca Ensemble, Feico has toured together with harpist Lavinia Meijer all major stages in The Netherlands.
Slavoj Žižek hardly needs an introduction.
He is regarded as one of the greatest thinkers of our time, although he would certainly not say so himself. There are many different ways to describe him, and he is being called both a 'Marxist' and a 'rockstar philosopher' – often in the same sentence.
What makes Žižek so interesting is that he knows how to trace the values of the present time such as 'woke' and 'populism' back to their roots to show the values they conceal. Reality is not very real for Žižek, it is just a construction consisting of symbols, which can only be regarded as relatively real.
When Žižek talks about the many political crisis of our time he does not just repeat what others have already pointed out but instead he gives an original interpretation of the world that becomes visible when you look past the clichés.
These thoughts and insights put him in the forefront of many of our time's debates – whether it is about identity, sex, popular culture, power or war. His most recent book is "Hegel in A Wired Brain" and to understand Žižeks vision is to understand a piece of a possible future – whether or not that future is one we would want to be a part of.
The video below is a recent conversation between Žižek and Harari on the topic of the increasingly unclear difference between 'nature' and 'culture'.

Last week there was some discussion about Q over at the Jesus Blog (here, here, and here), including a poll where readers could vote on the existence of Q. (Maybe those guys are more influenced by the Jesus Seminar than they want to admit!) 🙂 I was already thinking about Q as I was in the middle of discussing it in my class on Jesus and the Gospels, but their reflections got me thinking about it a little more.
I have been reading Benedict Viviano's little volume, What Are They Saying About Q? (Mahwah, NJ: Paulist, 2013), which I picked up at SBL back in November. It provides a pretty decent coverage and focuses on the reception of Q along geographic lines (Germany, Britain, North America) and among Roman Catholic and Protestant interpreters of the NT. When you're in the middle of academic discussions that have become second nature to you, you can occasionally become desensitized to some of the oddities in our profession. While I no longer give it a second thought, my students were astonished to find that the study of a hypothetical document could have its own label (viz., "Q studies") and generate not only books like Viviano's but numerous volumes claiming to provide us with a definitive look into the earliest Christian proclamation. (See here, here, and here, for just a few examples.) Those who study in our field realize that the study of Q is its own cottage industry, but when I stepped away for a moment and tried to see things through the eyes of my students I was able to understand how strange it seems that so much scholarly energy is devoted to performing redaction-critical maneuvers on a purely hypothetical text. Against that backdrop my students do seem to have a point.
Several other thoughts about Q emerged this week as a result of our an earlier class session. On Monday of this week my class had the privilege of hearing from Dr. Mark Goodacre via video conference on the subject of Q skepticism. It was a treat for all of us. Mark is probably the most well-known skeptic of Q at the moment, and though my class had read his articles and listened to his podcasts on the subject, it was good for them to hear from him directly. Two things in particular stood out for me. One was an argument Mark made toward the end of the session–one I hadn't heard him make previously. The last point on his handout argued that "agreement between Matthew and Luke is too close for Q." In other words, the double tradition material is often so close (upwards of 20 words verbatim in some cases!) to have been generated by a shared work. Apparently he will be expanding on this observation in a forthcoming article. I look forward to reading his detailed argument.
For the record, I have, up until recently, been an advocate of some form of Q, but I have become more and more skeptical over the past two years. And….full disclosure: I voted "no" in the Jesus Blog poll.
Martin Hengel, The Four Gospels and the One Gospel of Jesus Christ, chapter 7, discusses and defends the order Mark Matthew Luke–with additional logia source material for Luke and Matthew.
Allen, thanks for commenting. Did you mean to say, Mark-Luke-Matthew? That's the specific order I mentioned in the post.
Yes, I did mean Mark-Luke-Matthew.
I think that's what Allen must have meant to say. Hengel says Mark-Luke-Matthew in The Four Gospels. Riesner provides a response to Hengel's argument in Earliest Christian History.
Thanks, Wayne. I'll check it out.
Essential reading for the view is Ronald V. Huggins, "Matthean Posteriority: A Preliminary Proposal," NovT 34.1 (1992) [www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/1561093]. Mark (Goodacre) is familiar with this, so I assume he meant there has not been a monograph length treatment of the topic (not counting Adamczewski's poor attempt; see Foster's review summarized by Goodacre here).
Another recent defense of Matthean Posteriority can be found in James R. Edwards, The Hebrew Gospel and the Development of the Synoptic Tradition (2009), chapter 8 (I found Edwards' argument problematic on a few levels). I also knew of someone working on the topic for a PhD at a U.S. school a couple of years ago, but I cannot confirm its completion or publication. All this to say that the topic has received some attention but not nearly enough.
Thanks so much, Josh. I'll look into these. I do remember seeing Edwards' volume but I never picked it up. Maybe I'll order it and read it for the next time I teach this class. Hope your research is progressing well.
The dissertation on Matthean posteriority is by Rob MacEwen, written at Dallas Theological Seminary. He finished it a few years ago.
Mark's basic argument against "Mark-Luke-Matthew", if I remember correctly, was that we see signs of what could be understood as fatigue in Luke's use of Matthew, but he could not find any for the other way around. When I first heard this I wasn't entirely satisfied with the answer but after re-reading his article on fatigue I think it is fairly convincing.
For Goodacre's response to Matthean posteriority, see http://ntweblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/why-not-matthews-use-of-luke.html.
FWIW, I think that Mike Bird (probably under Hengel's influence) defends Matthean posteriority in a forthcoming work.
Have you or your class reviewed Eta Linnemann's work? Linnemann, a student of Bultmann, challenged the Q hypothesis: Linnemann, Gibt es ein synoptisches Problem?

UK's Prince Charles warns of persecution of Christians 05 ноября 2014, 13:47
Britain's Prince Charles warned of a threat to Christians in the Middle East and urged the need for compassion between different faiths.
UK's Prince Charles warns of persecution of Christians
Britain's Prince Charles warned of a threat to Christians in the Middle East and urged the need for compassion between different faiths on Tuesday, AFP reports.
"It is an indescribable tragedy that Christianity is now under such threat in the Middle East," Charles said in a video message posted on the website of The Telegraph newspaper.
"An area where Christians have lived for 2,000 years, and across which Islam spread in 700AD, with people of different faiths living together peaceably for centuries."
The region's minorities are at risk from rising unrest across the region, and from extremist groups such as the Islamic State, which has violently carved out a large area of control in Iraq and Syria.
Filmed in a domestic setting, seated in front of a fireplace, the son of Queen Elizabeth II and heir to the throne spoke of his concern that religious freedom was not respected around the world.
"Rather than remaining silent, faith leaders have it seems to me a responsibility to ensure that people within their own tradition respect people from other faith traditions," Charles said.
"My own Christian faith has enabled me to speak to, and to listen to, people from other traditions, including Islam."
"Such interfaith dialogue is a necessary condition for peace in the world, and should be seen as a duty for all Christians, as well as believers from other religious communities," he added.
The message was recorded for the publication of a report finding that Christians are "the most persecuted religious minority" in the world.
The report by Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need found that Muslim countries were often the location of the most serious violations of religious freedom, but that freedom was also in decline in Western countries.

Q: prove that $a^2 + b^2 +c^2 < d^2 + e^2$ with the following rules: Please help, I've been trying to prove this for a week now.
$$
A + b + c = f\\
d + e = f\\
A,b,c,d,e,f \in \mathbb{N}
$$
prove that if a,b,c,d,e, and f are not equal to 0 then for all values of $f$, there will exist a value for $d$ and a value for $e$ such that, for all values of $A,b$, and $c$, $$(A^2 + b^2 + c^2 < d^2 + e^2)$$

A: Take $d=f-1$ and $e=1$. Then for all positive values of $A,b,c$ we have :
$$A^2+b^2+c^2 = (a+b+c)^2 -2(ab+ac+bc) \leq f^2-2f < (f-1)^2+1^2$$
Because $(ab+bc+ac)\geq a+b+c \geq f$ ( $a,b,c\geq 1$ because they are positive integers)


Emma Samantha's sister, Emma, shared a photo of the vehicle on social media and received a message that the carjackers had been seen performing 'wheel spins' in Winson Green.
Meanwhile, police are continuing to hunt the carjackers who stole an Audi from Lode Lane, Solihull, while the owner and her baby were still inside.
Back inside her SUV, she was just closing the door when she saw a carjacker shove his gun inside.
Reliving the harrowing events, Mr Dewani said he had pleaded with the carjackers to release him and his wife unharmed.
When the youths told him to get out of the car and lie down in the grass, Thompson got his pistol out of his pocket and started shooting, hitting both of the carjackers before they could get into the car and drive off, reported the Houston Chronicle.
CARJACKERS forced a woman from her luxury car and drove off with it.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a family was terrorised by four carjackers in their Solihull home.
FOOTBALL superstar Michael Owen's sister was subjected to a terrifying ordeal when two masked carjackers pounced on her late at night as she left a gym.
A number of people in Wales have been the victims of carjackers this year.
MOTORISTS should consider applying anti smash-and-grab protective film to vehicle windows to deter carjackers, the RAC said yesterday.
Blacks make up 12 percent of the population, but accounted for 58 percent of all carjackers between 1992 and 1996.
THIS is the heart-stopping moment a brave mum-of-four fought off vicious would-be carjackers who punched her in the face.

James Bond playing a dramatic game of Magic the Gathering with a villain is the best idea I have ever heard.
Episode 170 - Bratz
June's very proper pronunciation of "Latina" made me laugh almost as much as her pronunciation of "Gooby." She and Paul are a perfect pronunciation Yin and Yang.
Episode 160 - The Lake House: LIVE!
My current theory is that the Lake House is a prototype for the glass mansion from the movie Thirteen Ghosts. In that movie a glass mansion is created that traps, you guessed it, 13 ghosts inside. The ghosts are being used to power a machine that pierces the veil of time, allowing the user to see the past, present, and future. My hypothesis is that the Lake House was originally created by the villain of that movie as a trial run for his evil plan. When Keanu is killed in the accident, his ghost becomes trapped in the Lake House which powers a prototype of the ghost machine. But because he is only a single ghost, it only allows for very specific time travel through a wormhole in the mailbox. Which lets him save his own life by arranging for his past self to fall in love with Sandy Bullock. I think I'm going insane.
Episode 159 - Sleepwalkers
Jason is right, Beasts of Burden is fantastic.
Oh my god, June has me in tears. This movie broke her spirit. "They are demons. They are... they are not man, they are not woman." "They're feral... fucking... pieces of energy." "They think it's funny... they think it's fucking FUNNY... that we're in here talking about them as mother/son. They think it's a fucking joke you guys, and you all bought into it!" Amazing.


Among the unknowns involving changes in the Indiana offense: Whether Peyton Ramsey will retain his job as starting quarterback.
It's unclear what fans should expect because DeBoer and Co. don't want to give anything away this early.
It happened again at Fresno State. DeBoer was hired in 2017 and took the Bulldogs' offense from 120th to 47th in two seasons. And in 2017, Fresno State became the second program in FBS history to go from double-digit losses to double-digit wins, finishing 10-4.
Ramsey won the starting job four games into the 2017 season, then gave it back following a knee injury that kept him out of the final four games. Last summer, Ramsey won back the job by holding off highly touted recruit Michael Penix Jr. and graduate transfer Brandon Dawkins.

Morphology, physiology and AFLP markers validate that green box is a hybrid of Eucalyptus largiflorens and E. gracilis (Myrtaceae)

Prolonged drought and salinity on the Chowilla floodplain of the Murray River have caused deterioration of E. largiflorens F.Muell. A putative hybrid with E. gracilis F.Muell, green box, withstands the saline conditions. We aimed to substantiate that green box is a hybrid and to test for agreement between morphological and physiological characters with amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP). Mature stands were measured for leaf, trunk, floral, cotyledon, carbon and nitrogen isotope discrimination, specific leaf area (SLA) and AFLP. Green box was placed between E. largiflorens and E. gracilis according to categorical principal components analysis (CATPCA) of 21 morphological and physiological characters and character states. The hybrid index of 11 AFLP markers that were 78% species specific separated E. gracilis and E. largiflorens, and the majority of green box plants displayed indices ranging from 0.42 to 0.53, reflecting mostly additive inheritance. Calculation of the hybrid index with all 232 AFLP markers, using maximum likelihood, similarly placed green box between E. gracilis and E. largiflorens. Our morphological, physiological and AFLP-marker observations substantiated that green box is a hybrid between E. largiflorens and E. gracilis.

Post-game Louisiana Tech
Hello Tiger fans! We like to keep things exciting in Death Valley! You can play up or down to teams but a win is a win. We are a great team, but we let someone play us with more drive and hype.
I don't want this game to be misinterpreted. Louisiana Tech never looked like they were on our level. We were forcing turnovers, flipping the scoreboard and dominating every other aspect, as expected. They couldn't stop our powerful run game and Joe Burrow came out throwing perfect dimes.
Yes, we absolutely got a little dry when fans started leaving and the game was so one-sided. Yes, we let them sneak 21 points on us while we sulked around wondering how one of J'Mar Smith's 50 passes was completed down the field. Louisiana Tech was as fiery as expected and when they got a few things go their way, it fueled their fire. This is how these games are meant to go. One good play gives them all the confidence in the world and if you can't crush it, it's hard to shake them off.
If we had kept our motivation going through the whole game we would've dominated. We started and finished strong, but next week against Ole Miss I want us to keep our pace throughout the game, even if their defense is weak. It's full-throttle all the way, baby! That's how you dominate.
We had some improvements too. Joe Burrow was great with pressure, and we dominated the trenches after a poor showing at Southeastern. As for the best effort I saw, Grant Delpit wins that award by a mile. He looked like Jamal Adams. As an honorable mention I'll nominate Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who got 136 yards on the ground, scrambling through would-be tacklers. Look out for number nine and number 22! LSU has so many great playmakers, a bright future is unavoidable!
GEAUX TIGERS!

Tigers looked ok though I'm concerned about the pass defense getting riddled for portion of the game; but maybe that is just football. They need to kick Ole Miss booty this weekend for sure.

Q. The way you guys started tonight seemed very aggressive. Was there much talk going into this game this was one of the better teams you were going to be playing in November, and were you more prepared and amped up for that to get off to a good start? ALJAMI DURHAM: We were facing a good team tonight. We had a week where we amped it up. We wanted to come in and make a statement. We wanted to play hard and wanted to set the tone early and not wait. So we wanted to set the tone early that's what we did. And I feel like we have to keep that tone throughout the whole game. Q. What didn't allow you — what got you away from what was working in the first half there? In the second half looked like you didn't find the groove again. ALJAMI DURHAM: Like you said, we didn't find groove. I've got to take responsibility. I've got to make sure we don't get into that position. I feel like we've got to reel it in and we can't have a half a basketball like that again. Q. Al, you don't see many freshmen coming into college basketball have three double-doubles in their first six games. What made this transition so easy for Trayce that he can be that effective early in his career? ALJAMI DURHAM: His work ethic. He's a hard worker and he's willing to do the little things. And I feel that Trayce, great basketball player and he's going to do great things for us and he's going to be big part of us. And Trayce, you see what's going on. And I feel he's putting it on display right now. Q. Al, seemed like there was even a moment near the end of the first half where you guys were struggling offensively and you dumped it into Joey. He was able to feed Trayce for one and take a runner. How much did the post players, do you think, settle you guys down in terms of playing through them? ALJAMI DURHAM: We've got trust in our post players. I feel like once we get it in, they're good to either pass it out or score. And I feel like once we pass it in we have trust in them to do either or, or make a great decision out of the post. That's what they showed you guys when they were playing zone, I think, at the time. And they made great decisions, either scored and made a great pass out. Q. Trayce, are you starting to feel a lot more comfortable with passing in and out of double teams, now that you've seen more of it? TRAYCE JACKSON-DAVIS: Most definitely. I think this week in practice, Coach Miller made a big emphasis on doubling every time we caught the ball. So, just reverse pivoting and throwing it out of the post is a big thing especially when you have guards open for shots. Q. I know the free-throw line is something you talked about a lot. But this is another night where you put up a really big number in terms of the points you get there in the second half in particular. How much of an emphasis does that have to remain for this team all season, getting into teams in terms of fouls quickly and getting to the free-throw line consistently on both halves? ALJAMI DURHAM: Coach Miller makes it a big emphasis for us to get to the line and get free throws and make sure — because I feel like he emphasizes us on depth. So we use our depth and we want to get to the line and get it inside and foul the other team out basically. Q. Trayce, you want to talk about getting to the free-throw line? TRAYCE JACKSON-DAVIS: I agree. Coach Miller said because we're a really deep team, a lot of teams aren't as deep as us, so just trying to get to their secondary and their second unit and fouling those guys out. I know one of their players, No. 11, one of their best players, got in foul trouble early. We were able to capitalize on that. Q. Trayce, your third career double-double. Just how do you maintain that aggressive rebounding mindset in hitting the boards this early in the season? TRAYCE JACKSON-DAVIS: It's just a will. You have to want to go get the ball, honestly. I think I've done a pretty good job on that in timing, where the ball is going to come. And also just having my teammates feed me on offense and getting me easy buckets. So just letting the game come to me, really. Q. Wanted to ask you more about the first half and how things worked so well there. Seems like you guys were sharing it pretty well, finding each other. What is it that's working? What do you guys like about the ball movement, the way you guys are finding each other? ALJAMI DURHAM: We've got confidence in each other. We feel like if we pass the ball to one of our teammates, we feel he can either knock it out or make a great decision for someone else. And I feel like we have a very well bond and a good trust in each other to make the right play when we're passing it to each other, really.

Nintendo Switch to be released on March 3 at UK price of £280
Nintendo gave details about the console at an event on Friday Credit: Bloomberg

13 January 2017 • 4:21pm
Nintendo has announced that its new Switch console, an effort by the Japanese company to regain lost ground in the console wars, will go on sale on March 3 at a cost of £279.99.
The Switch is a hybrid between handheld and home consoles that will allow gamers to play on the go as well as on their television. After first being unveiled in October, Nintendo revealed more details about the console at a much-anticipated event on Friday, including news of a new online gaming network.

Shares in the company fell by more than 5 per cent, however. The console was more expensive than many analysts had expected. At £280 in the UK, it will be Nintendo's most expensive console launch in its history.
At an hour-long event in Japan, Nintendo revealed a roster of new games including a brand new Mario title, Super Mario Odyssey, set to be released at the end of the year.
Games available at launch will include the new Legend of Zelda title The Breath of the Wild, while later releases include Splatoon 2 and a ported version of the Wii U's Mario Kart 8.

There will also be multiplayer games that take advantage of the Switch's innovative Joy-Con controllers. They include 1-2-Switch, in which players look at each other rather than the screen for reaction games such as a Wild-West style duel, and ARMS, in which the players' hand movements are reflected as boxing moves in the game.
Other franchises such as FIFA, Minecraft and NBA 2K17 will come to the Switch, as will Skyrim and Fire Emblem Warriors.
About | Nintendo Switch
Nintendo will hope that these games recreate the ease-of-use and instant appeal of titles such as Wii Sports, which made 2006's Wii console so successful.
The Wii sold more than 100 million units but its successor, the Wii, was deemed a failure largely due to its weak lineup of launch titles.
The Switch, which was first unveiled in October, can be played on the go using a 6.2-inch touchscreen onto which the two Joy-Con controllers attach. It will have a battery life of between 2.5 and 6.5 hours, but can also be charged over USB-C.
Joy-Con controllers
The console, which will use cartridges instead of discs as games, can also be played at home by connecting the Switch to a dock and using the Joy-Cons wirelessly.
A Joy-Con Grip accessory can hold the two Joy-Cons together to use as a more traditional controller, or they can be held independently in each hand, or be used by one player each as two miniature controllers.
The Joy-Cons have buttons for playing one in each hand, or individually Credit: Nintendo
Each Joy-Con has motion control technology so can be used as Wii-style controllers, as well as "HD-rumble", an advanced form of vibration feedback. Nintendo said this effect was detailed enough that it could simulate the feel of individual ice cubes shaking in a glass.
The right-hand Joy-Con has an infrared camera that can detect how far away a hand is, or if it is making a rock, paper or scissors shape, which Nintendo said would allow for new gameplay ideas.
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons | How they work
The controllers also come with wrist-straps to prevent them flying out of your hand. One set, including wrist straps, will be included in the box, but other sets, or individual replacements, will cost extra.
They will be expensive, too: £75 for an extra set.
Nintendo announced that it will have a paid-for subscription service for online gaming similar to Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus. It will start with a free trial before charging in the autumn.
Nintendo said the service would allow users to chat online or set appointments for games. The Switch will connect over Wi-Fi, and up to eight consoles can connect together locally for multiplayer games.
The subscription service will include extras including a free monthly download of a SNES or NES title and special offers.
UK retailers such as Amazon and Game are taking pre-orders for the Switch from this morning.
Nintendo consoles: a history in pictures
The price of the console, at £280, disappointed some, given that the Switch had been rumoured to cost around £200.
It will make the device the most expensive at launch in Nintendo's history, and follows recent declines in the pound.
Some analysts said the price was higher than they expected, and was responsible for the fall in Nintendo's share price.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was a beautiful film and one of the best Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4 releases.
The film is a sequel to the 2018 film Black Panther, which starred the late Chadwick Boseman, who died of cancer in August of 2020. The film was critically acclaimed and well-liked outside of the Marvel fandom, as it highlighted African-American culture and featured a mostly African-American cast.
The original script for the sequel was changed due to the tragic death of Boseman. Within the first ten minutes, the film acknowledges Boseman's death by having his character die without revealing how and incorporating a memorial. Personally, I was moved by the characters' reactions to T'Challa's (Boseman's) death; it didn't feel like acting. I had the impression that I was watching the actors grieve for their friend, rather than the characters mourning their hero.
Many fans and viewers were outraged by the press during the film, as many people saw it as exploiting Boseman's death. However, the writing and directing decision to acknowledge his death within the film was the right choice because if they hadn't, the film would've felt strange not acknowledging the Black Panther himself not being in the film. Rather than exploiting his death, they honored him.
Grief is a centerpiece throughout the film, especially for Angela Bassett's character who played T'Challa's mother. Angela Bassett delivers a performance worthy of an Oscar nomination; in one scene, Bassett yells about the death of her son and how much she has suffered for her country of Wakanda. Throughout the entire scene, I had goosebumps. Basset was the film's backbone; whenever she appeared on screen, I knew I was going to be moved.
Despite the sadness, this is a Marvel movie full of action and a compelling villain named Namor. This character is intriguing because he has good intentions to protect his country, even if he does cruel acts in order to do so. Personally, I found his character refreshing because it was complex and made the movie feel more like a superhero film than just a memorial. Namor acquires a bit of a redemption arc at the end of the movie; however, it seems that Namor still has his villainous tendencies within him, leaving me excited to see what is next for the character.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is a well-rounded movie with a compelling villain and an emotional storyline. I was worried that this sequel would not live up to my expectations since the first movie was so loved; however, it exceeded them as I was thoroughly impressed by the film. I give this movie a 5-star rating and feel it deserves a mention in Oscar hype. Wakanda forever!

Dionys Schötz OFM (* 22. März 1891 in Mitterfels; † 11. September 1972 in München) war ein deutscher römisch-katholischer Theologe und Bibliothekar.

Leben
Schötz wurde Mitglied der Bayerischen Franziskanerprovinz (Bavaria) und studierte Theologie und orientalische Sprachen, besonders Assyriologie. 1915 legte er das Cura-Examen, die erste Dienstprüfung als Priester, ab. 1925 wurde er zum Dr. phil. promoviert, 1930 zum Dr. theol.

Schötz war Lektor der Theologie an der Philosophisch-Theologischen Hochschule der Franziskaner in München. 1920 wurde er Praktikant an der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek und legte 1921 die Fachprüfung ab. Ab 1933 war er an der Bibliothek des Franziskanerklosters St. Anna in München tätig. 1937 erlebte er Schikanen der Nationalsozialisten, die auch die Kloster- und Hochschulbibliothek durchsuchten und "einige Kisten voll gemeingefährlicher Bücher" beschlagnahmten und verplombten. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg gelang es ihm, große Teile der Bestände der Franziskanerbibliothek auszulagern, dennoch wurden 40.000 Bände zerstört.

Nach dem Krieg arbeitete Schötz am Wiederaufbau der Bestände mit und entwickelte die Bibliothek zu einer modernen Klosterbibliothek weiter. Von 1952 bis 1963 war Dionys Schötz Vorsitzender der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Katholisch-Theologischer Bibliotheken (AKThB), die ihn 1964 zum Ehrenvorsitzenden ernannte.

Advice: Client Asking Me To Change Currency To His Country's - "Artists Beware"
So, I recently had a client asking me to send a money request in his currency, I think so he wouldn't get charged the fees? Is this proper? Or is it more proper for me to accept his request and do it? I only accept USD, and that is in my TOS. Technically, I would still be getting payment in my currency, but only AFTER I change it back to USD, which would in turn take out a chunk of what the client paid me. So am I in the wrong for not wanting to convert the money to his country's? I'm not certain, and that's why I would like some advice on what I should do.
EDIT 4/9/14: I want to clarify that yes, all of my transactions are done through Paypal. And thank you all very much for the advice! This has helped me out a ton, and I will let the client know that from now on when he goes to commission me, if he does, the currency must be USD only!
If it's paypal, the currency is automatically changed to USD with no fees involved.
