Home Celebrity "Tower Heist" Failure: Is that the End of Eddie Murphy?
"Tower Heist" Failure: Is that the End of Eddie Murphy?
by Roger Friedman - December 26, 2011 11:23 am
The tragedy of "Tower Heist": a star packed action flick that's made a disappointing $125 million worldwide. It should have made twice that number. And it had to, with big paydays for Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller, director Brett Ratner, decent checks to Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck, et al. The production budget came to around $125 million. After all, they re-staged the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade here in New York.
And what does it mean for Eddie Murphy? He was/is one of the most effective comedians ever. His one man stand up shows in the 1980s were amazing. Even his smallish role in "Tower Heist" showed glimmers of his genius. But as a movie star, it does seem like he is done as leading man. His presence in the "Tower Heist" promotions didn't do much to help the film. Its $75 million US take (and its $50 million international) suggests that for Eddie, his name means less than it ever did to audiences as incentive for spending money at the box office.
Murphy has not had a real hit of his own since 2003 with "Daddy Day Care." Prior to that. two sequels– to "The Nutty Professor" and "Dr. Dolittle"–in 2001 and 2000, were just over $100 million hits respectively. Hard to believe but those years were a decade ago.
But look at the rest of his resume–"Imagine That," "Meet Dave," "Pluto Nash," "I Spy," "Showtime"– it's a list that isn't even wanted in bins of $2 DVDs. "Pluto Nash" made under $5 million–isn't that what Eddie spends on vacations? If it weren't for the animated, ensemble "Shrek" films, his name would have disappeared a long time ago. Granted, "Dreamgirls" was a hit and garnered him an Oscar nomination. But Murphy didn't seem to get it, or to like it very much. When he lost the Oscar, he got up and exited the Kodak Theater in a huff.
And Murphy made no effort to follow up "Dreamgirls" with a project that signaled his interest in extending his career or capitalizing on the momentum. The dreadful "Norbit" came out during his Oscar campaign and made $95 million by piggybacking on the Oscar press. But it was also considered the reason he lost the Oscar to Alan Arkin in "Little Miss Sunshine."
Long long ago no are the days of "Beverly Hills Cop," "48 Hrs," their sequels, and "Trading Places." Murphy is probably very, very rich so none of this matters financially to him. His next film, called "A Thousand Words," doesn't seem like it will do much to help the situation. The plot sounds like it's a reworked "Liar Liar" (the old Jim Carrey comedy). And it's leftover from Dreamworks' Paramount deal.

It's sad that Eddie also walked away from hosting the Oscars. That would've been good for him to be doing right now.

I don't know about it being the end of Eddie Murphy but I hope it is end of Brett Ratner. I was done with him after X-Men 3. He needs to stick to music videos.

As soon as an actor feels the need to steal movies from the past at will in order to save the time and energy coming up with fresh ideas, then I think there's nothing left but the demise of his career.
Darned shame, too. Eddie is one incredibly talented man and I always enjoy watching him work, even when the material is sub-par. I'm a geezer, so, his stand up act was a little crude for me, however, his Elvis impersonation was dead-on! After he had kids of his own, though, his work took a different (and better) direction for a while. What he needs is just a good script. Even the best talent in the world can't save a lousy story.

Title Alliance, a RESPA-compliant ESOP company who specializes in joint ventured title insurance agencies, announced today they have hit a major milestone with the anticipated opening of their first partnership in Florida, Title Alliance of Collier County. The Title Alliance of Collier County partnership with the Keller Williams Marco Island Market Center marks the 38th entity for Title Alliance and the 19th entity currently with Keller Williams.
The partnered title insurance agency is expected to open October 1, 2014. When the latest entity opens, Title Alliance will have 38 entities, physically located in 9 different states: Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, Indiana, New York, Virginia and Maine.
The Keller Williams Marco Island Market Center opened in 2006 and currently has 98 agents who service real estate properties on Marco Island and in Naples, FL. The Market Center currently has the number one market share on Marco Island. The McCarty team of agents is currently the number one team in all of Florida for closed production for Keller Williams Realty and number 18 for Keller Williams International in the Country.
The Marco Island Keller Williams location's current profit share is $80,270.00, with a profit share last year of $109,400.00. The teams at Marco Island believe through a partnership with Title Alliance, they will be able to exceed their profit share by being able to focus solely on their business.
Beginning October 1, Title Alliance of Collier County, located in the Marco Island Keller Williams Market Center, will be available as a full-service title company offering a range of services including title and escrow needs for the public, the construction industry, attorneys, banks, real estate, and other lenders. The company will offer title insurance, preparation of closing costs, payoffs, title searches, assistance with coordinating and preparing closing papers, 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains, disbursement of mortgage funds, and act as a notary public.

Many have expressed concerns about the building of our Grotto as a place of prayer.
We have listened to these and provided answers here.
A cave of refreshment in dark times.
Due to the generosity of many benefactors, we have purchased (the mortgage for the church building was retired on Feb 9) and refurbished a beautiful church under the patronage of Our Lady of Lourdes. Although there are still many things to be done in the church (e.g., restoring most of the stained glass windows, restoring the bell tower and bells, and refurbishing the kitchen), we now need to build the Blessed Mother of God a special cave or grotto that will call to mind that sacred apparition site in Lourdes, France. For how can one have a church dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes without a Grotto? What a blessing it would be for future parishioners and passersby if they could pray not only in our chapel before the Tabernacle, but also visit an outdoor shrine with a niche for Our Lady... a sort of tabernacle on earth for the Blessed Mother. Thus, we have initiated the first phase of a new capital campaign to serve three ends: building the Grotto, to help us finish the work in the church as well as pay off and develop our new property (at 1111-1113 Amsterdam Road) to improve parking and provide additional housing for the Missionaries. If you want your donation to be used for the Grotto only, please indicate that along with the donation (e.g., writing "Grotto" in the memo line). Help Us Give Honor to the Highest Honor of Our Race.

During 28 months, 1074 blood samples from 200 HIV-1 patients and 418 blood samples from healthy blood donors were prospectively collected. T lymphocyte subsets and activation markers expression (CD4, CD69, CD25, CD8, CD28, HLA-DR) were determined initially and after PHA stimulation in whole blood cultures.
Two step Cluster Analysis followed by a discriminant function analysis of the lymphocyte activation assay from the first blood sample, allowed the separation of HIV-1 patients in two groups: Cluster1 (67%) and Cluster2 (33%). Clusters definition relied on the level of three T-cells subsets: a) stimulated CD4+CD69+CD25high, b) unstimulated CD4+CD69+CD25+ and c) unstimulated CD4+CD25high. PHA stimulated CD4+CD69+ CD25high subset level alone allowed to classify correctly patients with 92% sensitivity and 87% specificity. Cluster-2 expressed more CD69 and HLA-DR activation markers on CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes, less CD8+CD28+ and responded less to mitogen even if viral load undetectable. Cluster-2 presented poorly clinical profile in terms of previous AIDS events, current CD4+ count, viral load, length of treatment. Over the time most patients (64%) were keeping their cluster category.
We propose an algorithm to identify a subset of HIV patients with an over-determined immunodeficiency status characterized by a lower ability to reverse inappropriate activation of CD4 and CD8 T-lymphocytes leading probably to earlier exhaustion of their immunological resources. This subgroup of patients could display a worst clinical evolution, lower control capacity of viral load, even under antiretroviral therapy-mediated viral suppression.

La nunziatura apostolica in Germania è una rappresentanza diplomatica permanente della Santa Sede in Germania. La sede è a Berlino. La nunziatura è retta da un diplomatico, detto "nunzio apostolico in Germania" che ha il rango di ambasciatore.

Tre papi hanno prestato servizio in diverse aree tedesche in qualità di nunzio apostolico prima dell'ascesa al soglio pontificio: papa Alessandro VII, papa Leone XII e papa Pio XII. L'attuale nunzio apostolico in Germania è Nikola Eterović, nominato da papa Francesco il 21 settembre 2013.

Storia

La nunziatura apostolica in Germania venne fondata ufficialmente da papa Benedetto XV nel 1920 per meglio dare forma alla nunziatura apostolica nell'area tedesca, in concomitanza all'esistenza delle nunziature apostoliche in Prussia e in Baviera, quest'ultima di antica fondazione.

La Germania nei secoli precedenti disponeva delle seguenti nunziature apostoliche:
Nunziatura apostolica a Colonia (1500-1794)
Nunziatura apostolica in Sassonia (1518)
Nunziatura apostolica in Baviera (1785-1934)
Nunziatura apostolica in Prussia (1925-1934)

In realtà la suddivisione non fu mai così netta, e molto spesso i nunzi apostolici della città più importante, ottenevano il titolo onorifico di "nunzio apostolico in Germania" a comprendere l'intera area germanica, ad esclusione dell'Austria che godeva già dal '500 di una propria nunziatura apostolica. Colonia fu per lungo tempo la nunziatura apostolica tedesca per eccellenza a mantenere questo privilegio sin quando non venne soppressa nel 1794 e mai più ripristinata, a vantaggio della nunziatura apostolica in Baviera che divenne così l'unica nunziatura della Germania.

Con la creazione dell'Impero tedesco nel 1871 iniziò sempre più a prendere forma l'idea della fondazione di una vera e propria nunziatura apostolica in Germania, sebbene la conformazione del neonato impero lasciasse molta autonomia ancora agli stati regionali, il che rendeva necessario mantenere l'unica nunziatura apostolica ancora presente in Baviera. Dopo il crollo dell'Impero e la proclamazione della Repubblica di Weimar, l'area della capitale Berlino iniziò ad accentrare presso di sé molti poteri al punto che lo stato arrivò a chiedere alla Santa Sede l'apertura di una nuova nunziatura apostolica proprio a Berlino nel 1925.

Sia la nunziatura di Berlino che quella di Monaco di Baviera (che pure continuava a sussistere dalla fine del Settecento), vennero soppresse nel 1934 ad opera del governo nazionalsocialista.

Col crollo del Terzo Reich, a partire dal 1951 venne ripristinata la nunziatura apostolica in Germania, dapprima nella sola Germania occidentale con sede Bonn e poi dal 1989 nella Germania unificata con sede a Berlino dove ancora oggi si trova.

Repubblica Federale di Germania (1946-1989), sede a Bonn
1946 Carlo Colli, reggente

France 'extremely worried' about health of French-Irish citizen held in Iran
© Adrienne Surprenant, AP
France is extremely worried about the health of a French-Irish citizen held in Iran since October 2022, who relatives say is on hunger strike, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
It said Bernard Phelan was one of seven French nationals currently held arbitrarily by Iran, and Paris was "extremely worried about his health, which is poor and requires appropriate medical monitoring, which is not ensured in detention".
Phelan, a Paris-based travel consultant, 64, was arrested in October and is being held in Mashhad in northeastern Iran, according to Irish media reports.
He is one of two dozen foreigners who are currently held in Iran, according to activists, who describe the detainees as "hostages" seized to extract concessions from the West.
Phelan's sister, Caroline Masse-Phelan, told AFP her brother had started a dry hunger strike on Monday, refusing water, in addition to the food hunger strike he had been on since the start of the year.
"He is not doing well. He has lost weight," she said, adding that she and their father, aged 97, were "extremely worried".
For her, the situation is all the more incomprehensible given her brother "adored Iran".
"He worked for tour operators, bringing tourists to Iran," she said.
She said Phelan had not been put on trial but arrested on accusations of spreading anti-regime propaganda.
"We are stepping up the pressure on Iran, in coordination with the Irish government, to ensure that our compatriot is released without delay," the French foreign ministry said.
Ireland's foreign ministry said it had "been providing consular assistance, in close coordination with France, since the outset".

Delivery Co-Op is a nonprofit.
Can a Delivery App Actually Support Restaurants?
The service is 100 percent owned by customers, restaurants, and drivers.
November 2020 Ben Coley
The COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the rise of third-party delivery companies, has been a disaster for independent operators.
David Coomer and Aaron Withers, friends connected in the restaurant industry, have watched it unfold up close. Pre-COVID, independent restaurants could stomach the 30 to 40 percent fees because delivery accounted for a small portion of business. But in many cases, delivery has skyrocketed to roughly 30 percent of sales. Fees are looming even larger, dragging concepts deeper into the red.
Unsatisfied with the startling trend, Coomer, Withers, and others began working on different business models, building pro formas, and analyzing technology. It was an effort to answer an important question—what's sustainable enough to put money back into the pockets of restaurants?
With that in mind, the friends realized they didn't need to discover new technology or a new platform. The true innovation is creating a more equitable and profitable model.
That's how the group of volunteers arrived at Delivery Co-Op, a nonprofit service that's 100 percent owned by customers, restaurants, and delivery drivers.
All owners pay a monthly subscription fee that goes back to paying drivers $10 per hour and mileage reimbursement. Delivery Co-Op operates without any service or delivery fees, lightening the burden for both restaurants and consumers. Additionally, all members receive one share of the company, making them eligible for dividends. Because of that ownership, Withers says each person is able to participate in development of the business.
"So any big decision that needs to be made or small decision, everyone has a voice to be able to say what they think," Withers says. "There's no board. There's no shareholders. There are co-op members who each have a share, but everyone has the same."
Delivery Co-Op recently had a soft launch with Ouita Michel's Family of Restaurants in Lexington, Kentucky, where drivers averaged $21 per hour, including tips. The founders say the market cap in Lexington is 50 restaurants and 50 drivers, which would cover 11,000 subscribers. If that goal was met, it would result in an annual gross profit of just over $1 million. And since it's a co-op, those funds would return to the coffers of the owners.
With a potential runway in sight, Withers says Delivery Co-Op will approach growth in a meticulous manner.
"[The soft launch] really exceeded our expectations," Withers says. "Especially what drivers were able to make at the end of the day. But we're starting off really slow. This is really small. It's just a handful of friends volunteering their time to make this thing happen. So right now, we're just starting with one restaurant, and we're going to grow slow."
Coomer explains that right now, the group is working on building the next layer, like the roll out of an app for IOS and Android. The rate of growth will depend on how quickly Delivery Co-Op can acquire new consumers because it needs to reach a certain number before hiring another driver and then adding a new restaurant.
He says that marketing to potential restaurants is the easy part because Delivery Co-Op is an affordable service that provides the driver as an extension of the restaurant's service. The team works closely with operators to make sure food is delivered with the experience that the general manager, chef, and restaurateur wishes.
"That's the easiest sell on the planet," Coomer says.
The real focus is on customer acquisition, and Coomer notes that Delivery Co-Op is developing strategies and campaigns to that end. The efforts will be guerrilla, a method that Coomer has used with brands like A&W.
The group isn't buying Super Bowl ads or purchasing radio spots. Instead, the co-op is choosing a more nontraditional route.
"We're going to be a little more creative and a little more community-centric, but also leaning on the restaurant partners to help because their customers want to support them," Coomer says. "We're seeing that with Ouita Michel's group in Lexington. She's a James Beard caliber chef. She owns an incredible restaurant group, and her fans want to support her. Any market you're in, people love restaurants in their community. They want to look for ways that help and support, and we're paying attention to that."
" … These restaurant groups, their social media accounts, the newsletters, the loyalty and rewards programs they have in place are amazing marketing vehicles for the platform," he continues."
This year, major third-party delivery companies, particularly Uber and Postmates, have consolidated, causing uncertainty into how restaurants' bottom line will be affected. Coomer says the mergers create the perfect platform for multi-unit brands like Chipotle and McDonald's that need to serve hundreds of millions of people globally.
But that's not the best fit for independent operators or those with fewer than 20 stores, he adds.
"You're feeling like you don't have the strength to negotiate those rates, and you're just going to get hit with a bigger fee just because, honestly, you're a little more to deal with for better or worse," Coomer says. "But we think that's for better because when you have a great chef like a Ouita Michel, who is insanely particular about the to-go packaging and whether the driver has a food handler's permit and whether they have a close relationship with the general manager and the front-of-house team of that restaurant, that level of accountability is the expectation. Whereas if you're Chipotle, you're not really getting that granular into the delivery. You just need the service."
As to when Delivery Co-Op may hit that market cap of 11,000 subscribers in Lexington, Coomer says it could be a matter of months. He describes the pro forma as a compass that helps the group move forward methodically and responsibly.
If consumer demand lines up, Coomer believes Delivery Co-Op can grow exponentially.
"Because we're also openly sharing numbers, we're open to conversations with people that want to operate it," Coomer says. "We're wanting to be fully transparent in what they can expect, both good and bad. Because they're the people that will help grow this at scale, and it's something that we see long-term nationally can be as big as any of the big delivery players. It's just returning the money back to the people."

I had a plane booking and a willing victim passenger. The sun was shining despite the temperature being a tad on the cool side.
I'd started having second thoughts the night before when the TAF was calling for winds of 15 gusting 25 but irritatingly at 240 degrees.
Those winds are strong BUT if they WERE straight down the runway they'd probably be doable to a degree. Challenging but not impossible. Right on the border line.
Already I'm tending towards the NOT side of the decision tree.
Once at work I phone down to cancel "I don't fancy playing with those winds" I say. No one questions this in the slightest.
Intrigued I take a look.
That's why we don't fly.
*Boss wanted to fly with me, suggested a Friday afternoon, who am I to argue?
I attempted aviation on Friday (thwarted by o-ring failure in gascolator). I looked at the GFA and decided to do all my airwork up above the 4000' turbulence. Sky was clear, and you have up to 10,000' available to you.
For my hubris I am of course grounded.
I had a sightseeing flight planned with a passenger who was new to GA ( as well as being my boss!)so decided that the above conditions may not have been the ones you wanted in order to introduce someone to aviation.

DS1985 iButton
Add-Only iButton 16Kb EPROM
The iButton® 16Kb add-only (DS1985) is a rugged read/write data carrier that identifies and stores relevant information about the product or person to which it is attached. This information can be accessed with minimal hardware, for example a single port pin of a microcontroller. The DS1985 consists of a factory-lasered registration number that includes a unique 48-bit serial number, an 8-bit CRC, and an 8-bit Family Code (0BH) plus 16Kb of EPROM which is user-programmable. The power to program and read the DS1985 is derived entirely from the 1-Wire communication line. Data is transferred serially via the 1-Wire protocol which requires only a single data lead and a ground return. The entire device can be programmed and then write-protected if desired. Alternatively, the part may be programmed multiple times with new data being appended to, but not overwriting, existing data with each subsequent programming of the device. Note: Individual bits can be changed only from a logical 1 to a logical 0, never from a logical 0 to a logical 1. A provision is also included for indicating that a certain page or pages of data are no longer valid and have been replaced with new or updated data that is now residing at an alternate page address. This page address redirection allows software to patch data and enhance the flexibility of the device as a standalone database. The 48-bit serial number that is factory-lasered into each DS1985 provides a guaranteed unique identity which allows for absolute traceability. The durable MicroCan package is highly resistant to harsh environments such as dirt, moisture, and shock. Its compact button-shaped profile is self-aligning with cup-shaped receptacles, allowing the DS1985 to be used easily by human operators or automatic equipment. Accessories permit the DS1985 to be mounted on printed circuit boards, plastic key fobs, photo-ID badges, ID bracelets, and many other objects. Applications include work-in-progress tracking, electronic travelers, access control, storage of calibration constants, and debit tokens.
16384 bits Electrically Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM) communicates with the economy of one signal plus ground
EPROM partitioned into sixty-four 256-bit pages for randomly accessing packetized data records
Each memory page can be permanently write-protected to prevent tampering
Device is an "add only" memory where additional data can be programmed into EPROM without disturbing existing data

Pictures: Israeli Rescuers Aid Slow Search Through Brazilian Mud as Death Toll Rises
BRUMADINHO, Brazil (AP) — Brazilian firefighters and Israeli rescue workers poked sticks into treacherous mud Monday looking for bodies as pressure mounted on the mining company responsible for a dam that burst and spilled a flood of iron ore waste.
By late in the day, the death toll rose to 65, with 279 people still missing, said Lt. Col. Flavio Godinho of the civil defense department in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais.
In a sign of the risks posed by the deep mud, Col. Alexandre Ferreira, a doctor with the military police of Minas Gerais, advised rescue crews, volunteers and journalists to take antibiotics to prevent cholera, the bacterial infection leptospirosis and other diseases.
Officials said the death toll was expected to grow "exponentially," since none had been rescued alive since Saturday.
Search efforts were extremely slow because of the treacherous sea of reddish-brown mud that surged out when the mine tailings dam breached Friday afternoon. The mud was up to 24 feet (8 meters) deep in some places, forcing searchers to carefully walk around the edges of the muck or slowly crawl onto it so they would not sink and drown.
Teams focused their searches Monday morning in areas where a bus was immersed and where many workers were eating lunch at the mine cafeteria when the dam ruptured.

The mine's owner, Vale SA, is the world's largest producer of iron ore, the raw ingredient for making steel. The Brazilian company's American depository shares plunged 18 percent Monday on the New York Stock Exchange.
At the scene of the disaster, helicopters looking for bodies took off and landed nonstop. On the ground, dozens of rescuers with tracking dogs were searching for bodies through the mountains of mud. An Associated Press photographer witnessed at least 10 helicopters each carrying one body.
More than 100 Israelis equipped with specialized rescue technology joined the 200 Brazilian firefighters in the search.
The Israeli delegation is mostly made up of military search-and-rescue specialists and medical officers and also includes members of the Israeli Navy's Yaltam scuba unit, as the military expected a significant amount of underwater missions in the flooded region.
The army said the search-and-rescue teams would use radar, underwater sonar, cellular detection systems and drones to locate the missing people.
Areas of water-soaked mud appeared to be drying out, which could help firefighters get to areas previously unreachable. Still, it was slow going for the search teams, residents were on edge and some started searching on their own for relatives.

A Catholic priest for a church now being used as a command center for rescuers said many of his parishioners are believed to be buried in mud.
"It's going to be difficult to rebuild our hearts," said the priest, Rene Lopez. "This won't take a month or a year. It's an open wound for all of the people in Brumadinho."
And there was mounting anger directed at Vale amid questions about the area's largest employer following an apparent lack of a warning siren ahead of Friday's collapse.
"The company didn't take care of the people," said Josefa de Santos, who has friends and neighbors among the missing. "I heard the cries of people asking for help, everyone was running and screaming. The siren didn't go off at all, it was horrible."
In an email, Vale told The Associated Press that the area has eight sirens, but "the speed in which the event happened made sounding an alarm impossible" when the dam burst.
Sen. Renan Calheiros called for Vale's board of directors to step down and Attorney General Raquel Dodge told reporters that Vale executives could be held responsible.
Vice President Hamilton Mourão said a Brumadinho crisis committee established by the president was "studying" the possibility of removing Vale's board of directors. His office later told AP that the government wouldn't intervene, as Vale is a private company.

Over the weekend, courts froze about $3 billion from Vale assets for state emergency services and told the company to report on how it would help victims.
The carpet of mining waste also raised fears of widespread environmental contamination and degradation.
According to Vale's website, the waste is composed mostly of sand and is non-toxic. But a UN report found that the waste from a similar Brazil disaster in 2015 "contained high levels of toxic heavy metals."
That dam owned by Vale and Australian mining company BHP Billiton collapsed in the city of Mariana in Minas Gerais, killing 19 people and forcing hundreds from their homes.
About 250,000 people were left without drinking water thousands of fish died. An estimated 60 million cubic meters (646 million square feet) of waste flooded nearby rivers and eventually flowed into the Atlantic Ocean.

Divine Burdens
Trauma in the Passionate Pantheon
Posted on August 26, 2021 | by Eunice
"That wasn't nice, what you did to me during the Hunt," Brin said. "I hallucinated for hours after I woke up."
"You weren't nice to me," Lija said.
"Yeah, but I was a Hunter!" Brin protested. "Hunters aren't supposed to be nice!"
Lija bit Brin's bare shoulder. "Some prey fights back."
Brin wriggled against her. "Don't I know it."
—from Divine Burdens
The society of the Passionate Pantheon is built on a foundation radically different from anything in the real world, which is perhaps not too surprising when you consider it's ruled (insofar as 'ruled' is an accurate term in a post-scarcity society where everyone has freely-available access to all the necessities of life and luxury) by hyper-intelligent AIs that are worshipped through ritualized sex. We wanted to explore what might happen in a society where the way we think about sex and connection are completely flipped upside down from the attitudes you typically see in the Western societies we're both familiar with.
We've talked quite a bit about how the historical foundations and cultural expectations of the City might change the way people think about consent, particularly sexual consent. But there's another huge difference between their society and ours: their views on trauma and responses to trauma.
Divine Burdens is erotic horror (with a strong emphasis on horror). We've talked about that before, but we need to put it up front: this book is not Utopian. It's still post-scarcity, and it's still built on a foundation of consent (albeit somewhat loosely interpreted; the difference between enthusiastic consent, technical consent, and transactional consent is one of the themes we set out to explore with this book.) However, characters experience things that would, in the real world, probably be traumatic. And, for the most part, they shrug them off. It's a horror for us, not for them. And, perhaps somewhat strangely, even though this book is deliberately written as horror, the protagonists still have lives that are, by any objective standard, better, safer, and more comfortable than ours (perhaps that's worthy of a blog post of its own?).
Why? How could that be? Is that realistic? We think it's a reasonable premise, for at least two major reasons: trauma is often contextual—your society defines and describes what you might consider traumatic—and the citizens of the City have a cast-iron, bedrock assumption built on a lifetime of experience that the gods are—in a literal, tangible, physical sense—always watching out for them, and unlikely to allow them to come to real harm.
Which is not to say that it's impossible to experience trauma in the City; far from it. In book four of the Passionate Pantheon series, tentatively titled Unyielding Devotions, we explore three characters who have the same experience that many people in the real world might find traumatic, and come away from it affected in radically different ways. One of the protagonists of Unyielding Devotions is traumatized by his experience, and that trauma becomes the driving force for his character arc. We don't want to suggest you can't experience trauma as a citizen of the City, only that the culture that surrounds you informs your perception of, and response to, trauma.
So what do we mean when we talk about trauma?
The dictionary defines trauma as "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience." Of course, one person's deeply distressing and disturbing incident is another's fun Saturday night, so there will always be wildly different individual responses to any experience.
But what would it mean if, from the day you were born, you had a literal, physical connection to the gods, in the form of a drone who was your friend, confidant, and guardian, who not only taught you to navigate life but also kept you safe from harm? Including standing up for you against your human carers, if that was necessary?What would it mean if, from a very young age, you had a much higher degree of autonomy than children do in the real world, where we effectively treat children as property? What would it mean if you knew with absolute certainty that if you ever got yourself into trouble, or someone else ever tried to harm you, the gods would intervene promptly and decisively? What would it mean if you knew that you would never—could never—want for anything that threatened your survival? What would it mean if any injury that didn't instantly kill you outright could be erased by a couple of hours, or in extreme circumstances, days, in a medpod?
This would, we think, change not only what you might be willing to consent to, but also your threshold for what counts as trauma.
In Divine Burdens, there's a scene where a character is, totally against her will, bound in vines, injected with a massive dose of powerful hallucinogenic drugs, and then rendered unconscious for about a day. That would, to many people, probably be traumatic. But an important part of trauma is context—a person who breaks a leg by falling unexpectedly down a manhole cover on the way to the office will likely process this very differently than an extreme athlete who breaks a leg rock climbing or BASE jumping.
The character this happens to in Divine Burdens is an athlete (and not just any athlete, but one of the top five athletes in her society, their equivalent of an Olympic-level athlete). She participates in a sport where being dosed with hallucinogens, or breaking a bone for that matter, is something she knows might happen. In fact, being given mind-altering substances is an integral part of the very role she ferociously competes for.
Outside the cage, the room was packed with Hunters, most of whom Lija did not recognize. The Sacrifice attracted people from all over the City to participate. The ones she didn't know didn't worry her. They were amateurs; without training, they were unlikely to threaten her. Half of them wouldn't even make it through the entire Hunt, but would end up twisting an ankle or falling and breaking a bone, and would have to be rescued by drones.
In the story, Brin's experience with the vines and hallucinogens takes place during an act of religious worship. That, too, changes the way people perceive and process their experiences. Even in our world, people will deliberately subject themselves to incredibly intense experiences, up to and including mimicking the act of crucifixion or deliberately damaging their own flesh (without access to a medpod!), and the way they process that experience is completely different from the way they might process the same experience in a non-religious, non-self-chosen context. The Passionate Pantheon is a society where you choose your gods, consciously, as a fully-grown adult, and you choose which of your religion's rituals you participate in. So how much more fervent and dedicated would someone like that be, in their spirituality? How much more willingly would they endure intense and extreme acts of sacrifice for the god they worship?
Living in a society where you know the gods have your back, where you are free to participate or decline any experience (while we don't directly address this until Unyielding Devotions, worship of any of the gods is never mandatory, and people can and do decline to participate in the religious rituals of the City), and where damage or injury can be wiped away by advanced biomedical nanotechnology, would (we think) contribute to making people highly resilient in the face of (certain types of) trauma. Not unbreakable, not immune to trauma certainly, but quick to bounce back, and secure in the knowledge they would be okay.
Trauma, we argue, is largely about context, expectation, and feelings of vulnerability versus control. In a society where all three of these things are different from our world, people might process things differently.
From the point of view of someone reading the novels who grew up in contemporary Western society, the citizens of the City might seem to possess superhuman constitution. And that's perhaps what makes them seem a bit alien, like far-future fey folk. An argument might be made that a more comfortable standard of living could go the other way, making people more rather than less susceptible to trauma, because as people become more comfortable and society becomes safer, they have less opportunity for exposure to potentially traumatizing events.
But there's a difference between experiences that are self-chosen, that you sign up for, and things that happen to you. There are experiences many of us in the real world experience every day and often brush off as insignificant or common that people of the City might find incredibly traumatizing.
We accept a certain level of non-consensual access to us—in mind and body—that residents of the City would find absolutely horrifying. From servers at a restaurant being groped, to clerks being abused at the retail counter of a shopping mall, to the way that sex workers are treated as a matter of course, there's a background level of…let's call a spade a spade, violence…that is totally normalized in our society. In many ways we don't even think about how awful this is, but those sorts of experiences would be horrific to someone from the Passionate Pantheon world.
Even surgery the way it's practiced here, where you're anesthetized and then sliced apart with a knife, would be horrifyingly traumatic to a resident of the City. Can you imagine, for a person who grew up with medpods, the trauma of being put to sleep and then waking up with the knowledge that someone else has physically cut into your flesh whilst you were unconscious, and you not only did not get to choose exactly what happened, but now you are expected to manage the pain and reduced mobility that you are left with? Often with the aid of medications that are, themselves, sometimes damaging, addictive, or whose side effects need to be mitigated with other medications? And on top of that, you are expected to be grateful to the people who did that to you!
So we're certainly not saying that residents of the City have special immunity to trauma—their threshold of trauma might be higher in certain ways, but in other ways, because they don't experience the kinds of small everyday violations we in this world are expected to put up with as part of the background noise of our lives, it might be lower. (The character Brin in Divine Burdens is, in an incredibly literal sense, a sexual predator—but an evening working at Hooters would probably utterly incapacitate her with trauma. In the City, her predatory activities are exclusively directed towards people who know the lay of the land and voluntarily sign up for it.)
And that's only on an individual level. The residents of the City would also find horrifying and traumatic the idea that society as a whole treats certain classes of people—say, drug addicts, or sex workers, or racial or sexual minorities—as inherently lesser. Less valuable, less able to participate in civic institutions, less worthy of dignity and respect. People in the real world who are convicted of crimes, which is a situation that is viewed and managed in a fundamentally different way by the City, have their access to civic institutions revoked, something that the characters in the Passionate Pantheon would find shocking and appalling. (In Unyielding Devotions, we talk in more detail about how the City handles infractions of its rules, but one of the key points is that punishment for an infraction is immediate, short, appropriate to the crime, and truly wipes the slate clean—there is no lingering stigma, and no ongoing reduction in civic participation.)
In Divine Burdens, we wanted to tell a story that is, to our eyes, erotic horror, but explore how, in the context of that society, the characters normalize and accept the things that happen to them. One consequence of this is the characters in Divine Burdens would find our world, the real world, unacceptably, appallingly horrific.
And who's to say that they're wrong?

Yards are extremely versatile. Your landscaping will help it look its best but fencing will not only add style but security. While open yards are beautiful, there's a lack of security and sense of useable space that's all your own.
While some homeowners choose to leave their yard unfenced, others choose to install a fence for style and security, keeping intruders and other unwelcome guests out. An unfenced yard can leave you defenseless. Here are the benefits of adding a fence to your yard.
There are numerous benefits when you add a fence to your yard. If you're ready to start your fence installation, contact a fencing pro today for up to four quotes from contractors in your area for free.
Like any home improvement project, there is an initial investment needed. If you don't already have a fence for your yard, you'll need to install a new fence. Of course, prices can vary greatly depending on what material you choose and how much of it you'll need. The average cost to install a fence is $2,401 with most homeowners spending between $1,773 to $260.
You'll also want to carefully plan for your new fence installation. Some areas have regulations that may restrict the height or types of materials you can use. Research what your area requires before beginning any new fencing project.
Adding a fence to you home can increase your property value, meaning you'll see a good ROI when it comes time to sell. Of course, this depends on the type of fence you choose to install. A wood privacy fence or picket fence will increase salability as opposed to a standard chain link fence.
While a fence can add style, it also aids in protection. While there is some debate among experts if privacy fences are enough to keep burglars out, there are anti-climbing measures you can take to ensure your home's safety and your backyard's privacy.
Additionally, fencing can help keep pests out of your yard. Wooden panel fencing is a great way to keep larger rodents out of your garden and backyard.
It's important for the entire family to be able to enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of your own backyard; this includes children and pets. A fence ensures their safety and peace-of-mind for you. While you should always keep an eye on your children and pets when they are outside, you can take comfort in knowing they won't stray out of sight.
For pets, knowing the type of fence to get is important. Smaller dogs can easily get through holes in or under fencing. To ensure security, make sure the fence is in good condition.
If your backyard is your oasis, keep it that way with a privacy fence. Many homeowners are turning to privacy fences for a sense of peace and calm in their yard. The average cost to install a privacy fence is between $3 and $13 per linear foot, excluding the cost of materials, which could vary greatly depending on what you choose.
However, homeowners don't need a tall fence to maintain a sense of privacy in their yard. A small wood fence could provide the feeling of privacy without making your neighborhood completely out of view. This is also a great option for those on a budget as well.
For those who live near a busy street or even noisy neighbors, a solid fence can be a great barrier to block out sounds and create a more peaceful yard. Certain styles of fence have sound-absorbing insulation that is effective in blocking out area noise from your yard.
There's no doubt that fencing adds a unique style to any yard. A white picket fence can turn ugly landscaping into something lovely. A rustic wood fence can give any home the vintage look. With so many fence styles available, the options are endless.
Because chain link fences are the cheaper option, many homeowners turn to this when they're looking to install their fence. However, they are not initially a beautiful addition. There are plenty of DIY ways you can dress up your chain link fence for style. Planting a vine or spreading shrub, such as wisteria, will add natural greenery to your fence. Reed screens are another way to make a chain link fence, and increase privacy, while still on a budget. Get creative!
Of course, with all these benefits, one of the biggest hesitations homeowners have is the maintenance and care a fence will require. The worry of repairs tops the list. The good news is that prices are reasonable, the average cost to repair a fence is $446, with most homeowners spending between $306 and $484.
For wood fencing, staining is necessary to keep it looking great. You'll need to inspect a wood fence more often than other types of fencing to see if any nails need to be replaced or moisture has not taken a toll on your fenceposts.
While some homeowners opt for an open yard, others see the benefits adding a fence has. It allows for additional security for pets and children, as well as adding a stylish barrier to block out any noise. With various styles to choose from, a new fence can be the perfect addition to any yard.

Admission Checklist for Master Degree


The 'A House' in Kisami built by Florian Busch Architects is a private retreat overlooking the ocean about 180 km south of Tokyo. Located at the end of a tiny mountain road leading up a coastal hill, the site is on a steep slope with stunning views and sounds of the sea. The project started with carving out the mountain, placing a small volume into the resultant carved-out void, and a larger one on top. Thus the mountain void is turned into the centre of the house: a spa zone in the mountain between the platonic volumes housing bedrooms on the lower and living on the upper level. When the spaces in-between become the building's essence, it is hard not to realise that architecture is not about objects. The building frames this essence: the exterior space that flows through the building, down the mountain and connects the 'A House' with the sea.

..."My dear Desertflower, I sincerely hope a way for you to get the PET scan will appear. Believe it not, there is at least one, maybe two or more, who care-even on FN!

(LAKEWOOD, Colo.) Sept. 1, 2015– After many months of review, the American Animal Hospital Association has revised its position on domestic cat declawing.
The revised declawing position statement was approved at a regularly scheduled AAHA Board of Directors meeting in August 2015 after months of review and revision by the board-appointed Animal Welfare and Ethics Committee.
The AAHA Board of Directors regularly reviews all AAHA position statements to ensure that they are current and up-to-date. The declawing position statement was last revised in 2009 and was slated for review in 2015 by the board-appointed Animal Welfare and Ethics Committee. The committee began reviewing and revising the statement months prior to when the board voted to approve the statement. The revised statement was brought to a board meeting in August 2015 where it was voted upon and approved.
The position statement is AAHA's stance on the issue of declawing as an organization – it is not a mandatory standard that AAHA-accredited practices must follow.
The revised statement emphasizes that veterinary professionals educate cat owners about declawing and provide them with effective alternatives to surgery. Declawing is not just removal of the claw; it is a major surgery involving amputation.
View the full declawing position statement on the AAHA website.

« Lalique Exhibition Essay Garners Prestigious Smith Decorative Arts Award: Great Rene Lalique Publicity
Rene Lalique Exhibition: A Rene Lalique Retrospective Exhibit of R.Lalique Works Opens in Tokyo in June »
Lalique and Haviland Come Full Circle in London Flagship Lalique Crystal Store
Lalique and Haviland Join Forces and Open A Joint Flagship Store in London: A renewal of old ties between the family name of Rene Lalique and the family name of David Haviland was cemented in London recently, with the opening of the new Lalique Haviland joint flagship store on Conduit Street. This store name recalls ties between these two great families that go back to 1916.
Here is a brief history: Haviland was started in 1842 by David Haviland. He was a member of a New York family that imported and sold china. In the early 1840's he traveled to Limoges France where he founded the great Haviland manufacture. His two sons, Charles and Theodore were active in the business, Theodore in New York dealing with marketing matters, and Charles, the oldest of the two sons in France at the factory in Limoges. After David Haviland died in 1879, Theodore moved to Limoges to participate more directly in the management of company affairs. For whatever reasons, by 1891 the two brothers had irreconcilable differences and joint control of the Haviland Company was dissolved, with each brother going it his own way. Charles operated under the old family company name of Haviland et Cie, and Theodore under the name Theodore Haviland Limoges. The two brothers competed not just with other companies, but against each other. The last decade of the 19th century also saw the rise of the great Rene Lalique, who's reputation as a jeweler and designer in Paris had spread worldwide. Lalique's primary focus in the last decade of the 1800's was jewelry and unique objects. It was the famous glassmaker Emile Galle who recognized Rene Lalique as the "the inventor of modern jewelry".
In 1892, Lalique had a daughter by his second wife, whom they named Suzanne. Suzanne became an accomplished designer and painter in her own right, without any formal art training. Growing up as close to the great Lalique as one can get, was all the training required. Her vase designs cover two pages in the R Lalique Catalogue Raisonne, and her paintings and decorative arts are now spread around the world. At least two Rene Lalique production vases were designed by Suzanne Lalique; the vases Sophora and Penthievre. She also created great porcelain designs for Haviland during the last half of the 1920's and into the early 1930's, and she is credited with having painted in 1931 the only recorded portrait of Rene Lalique created late in his life. And of esoteric interest to both historians and stemware collectors, is the SH monogram which graces the stemware set Monogramme in the Catalogue Raisonne. These are the stems that start at #5042 on Page 831 of the 2004 edition. These stems were sold in minimum orders of 100 pieces. But for the big order, Lalique et Cie would put your own monogram on each stem. That's probably how they figured out the name for this design! Apparently, Suzanne Haviland was an early customer :).
As things would have it, in 1916 Suzanne met the photographer Paul Haviland, the son of Charles Haviland, when Paul was slightly older than shown here in an 1884 portrait at age 4 by noted painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Paul was an accomplished photographer, and among his other claims to fame, he would be given photo credit for the pictures in the 1932 R.Lalique Catalogue, a fact omitted from the 1981 Dover reprint! Paul was born in Paris, but graduated from Harvard and spent much of his early life in the United States. Having been called back to France to help with the management of the company in 1916, that same year he met and by 1917 would marry Suzanne Lalique. Long story short, Charles died in 1921. Theodore died two years earlier in 1919. The Haviland et Cie family businesses of Charles had lots of problems and became a full employment company for lawyers! Haviland et Cie eventually slipped out of family ownership and was liquidated in 1931, but the Theodore branch of the family continued on with their company under the leadership of Theodore's oldest son William, who had joined the company in 1903 and who took control upon the death of his father. The Haviland name and company was restored to unity and total family ownership in 1941 under William Haviland, when he and other relatives purchased all the names, designs, and rights of the previously liquidated Haviland et Cie. One interesting point is that from 1942 to 1957, Haviland was produced in Pennsylvania, production having been started up there by William in the chaos that was World War II.
Fast forwarding a bit, control of Haviland would find its way to the current owners Financiere Saint-Germain (FSG). Here is a link to an informative Haviland website. Why do we care about all this? Well, that's the start of another (much shorter) story.
In February of 2008, the Lalique Cristal Company was acquired by the Swiss company Art & Fragrance (ARTN). The price was €44,000,000 Euros, which today would be about $58,500,000 US. This was somewhat of a marriage of equals, as Lalique's sales of around €67,000,000 Euros for 2007 were higher than the sales of its acquirer. Art & Fragrance is headquartered near Zurich, and its shares are listed on the BX Berne eXchange under the symboi ARTN. It appears that the vast majority of ARTN shares are controlled by Silvio Denz, the Chairman of ARTN, who is shown here in a photo from the company website. Mr. Denz is also one of the driving forces behind the new Lalique Museum, the Musee Lalique in France which we recently wrote about. In September of 2008, Art & Fragrance sold just under 1/2 of Lalique to FSG, which as we mentioned, is the owner of among other things, Haviland, at a price of 20.5 million Euros. This is how we have reached the point of the accompanying photo of the new London Flagship Store. This writer thinks Paul and Suzanne Haviland would be smiling if they could see it! And now you know……… ( think Paul Harvey). 🙂
A final note: Paul Haviland died in 1950, and Suzanne Lalique Haviland, having lived to the age of 97, died in 1989. For more information on Rene Lalique and his family, see our Rene Lalique Biography.

Bruce Beresford-Redman Custody -- His Story
We just got a copy of the documents filed in the Bruce Beresford-Redman custody case ... and as we first reported, Bruce's parents have filed to terminate their guardianship which would clear the way for him to regain custody of his children.
Document Launch Doc
Bruce submitted a declaration which says, "While I was in Mexico following Monica's death, I am now back in the United States ... As Camila's and Alec's biological parent, it is my desire to immediately resume my full custodial and parental responsibility ... and I am capable and fit to do so."
Bruce then says he supports his parents move to terminate the guardianship.
In the papers, Bruce cites a therapist who says it would not be in his children's best interests to attend their mother's memorial service this coming Sunday -- which is being organized by Monica's sisters, who are at odds with Bruce. He says, "It would be healthier for the children to participate in a small, quiet and private memorial for their mother."
And there's a big fight because Bruce wants to change the visitation rights of Monica's sisters -- from this Sunday to Saturday. The reason -- Bruce fears the sisters will take the kids to Monica's memorial on Sunday.
As for the guardianship, Monica's sisters are saying they don't want the judge to ramrod a change just yet ... they want the judge to wait and see if Bruce is arrested for Monica's murder.

Excerpt Of The Day: The Crooked Clinton Coal Con
24 Jan, 2008 by	John Hawkins
A large part of America's energy dependence on foreign sources can be traced to Sept. 18, 1996, when President Bill Clinton stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon on the Arizona side and signed an executive proclamation making 1.7 million acres of Utah a new national monument.
…At the time, the Clintons were worried that Ralph Nader's presence on the ballot in a few Western states would draw green votes from Clinton in a race that promised to be close after the GOP retook Congress two years earlier.
In fact, the declaration of 1.7 million Utah acres as a national monument, thereby depriving an energy-starved U.S. up to 62 billion tons of environmentally safe low-sulfur coal worth $1.2 trillion and minable with minimal surface impact, was a political payoff to the family of James Riady.
He's the son of Lippo Group owner Mochtar Riady. James was found guilty of — and paid a multimillion dollar fine for — funneling more than $1 million in illegal political contributions through Lippo Bank into various American political campaigns, including Bill Clinton's presidential run in 1992.
Clinton took off the world market the largest known deposit of clean-burning coal. And who owned and controlled the second-largest deposit in the world of this clean coal? The Indonesian Lippo Group of James Riady. It is found and strip-mined on the Indonesian island of Kalimantan.
The Utah reserve contains a kind of low-sulfur, low-ash and therefore low-polluting coal that can be found in only a couple of places in the world. It burns so cleanly that it meets the requirements of the Clean Air Act without additional technology.
"The mother of all land grabs," Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said at the time. He has called what was designated as the Grande Staircase of the Escalante National Monument the "Saudi Arabia of coal." — Investor's Business Daily
When the Clintons were in office previously, Bill helped out a crooked campaign contributor by using the power of the federal government to prevent a competitor from arising and as a bonus, he got to portray himself as a friend to the environment.
Now, Hillary is running for President and telling people, "we have got to take a hard look at clean coal." Yet, it was the Clintons who prevented the mining of the "largest known deposit of clean-burning coal" on the planet.
This is just one more story that reveals the dishonesty, sleaze, and corruption that cuts right down to Bill & Hill's core.

To understand, how amazing PWAs are, and to have a look in the future of their development, we have to understand where the technology comes from and why we did not have it before.
The fundament of PWAs is a technology called "appmanifest". It is developed by "The World Wide Web Consortium" (W3C) — the main international standards organisation for the World Wide Web. The last version of the technical standard draft is a few days old, which illustrates its active current development.
The speed at which new features become available is determined by two entities: the W3C (as seen above) and the browser-developing companies (Mozilla: Firefox, Google: Chrome, Apple: Safari and iOS, Netscape: just joking…).
Google has been pushing forward with PWAs, while Apple was initially very skeptical about them. At the moment, the support for PWAs is already pretty good on Android and Chrome, as well as on Firefox. The great news: Apple also started implementing the standard so it is only a matter of time till the features start working on iOS. Thus, every major browser now supports or is to support PWAs. The graph below shows the support for push notifications as of September 2017.
Support for web push notifications as of September 2017
Support for important features
Two important features that every client would like to use are:
Installing the web app on the home screen. This works on all major devices today already. After installing the web app, it will open in fullscreen (without the URL bar) and directly offer an app-like feeling.
Sending push notifications. This is possible an all major devices (including desktops) but is missing on iOS so far. We have no information so far when it will be released on iOS.
What features will be available
Progressive Web Apps include a bundle of amazing features. Here you have an overview over the features that are already available under Chrome.
Support for Progressive Web Apps across platforms in Chrome
At Penguin we are excited to see that the interest in PWAs is growing very fast in Switzerland. If you want to figure out more about this awesome technology, do not hesitate to contact us!


Bronze tone pendant of a red and white rhinestone-encrusted fairy (approx. 3" long) carrying a book decorated with chain and red crystals on a 26" bronze tone chain, with a vintage rhinestone and coral flower charm and a tiny heart link with a red crystal hanging on the clasp.
Most charms can be changed quickly--just ask and I'll let you know if there's any price difference for the modification.
I use recycled shipping materials when possible, let me know if this is not acceptable.
Expedited shipping is available starting $6 for USPS Priority Mail.
My goal is to make my buyer happy and if they're not happy with their purchase we can usually make arrangements for returns and a refund (minus shipping charges).
My shipping charges are extremely reasonable--I don't mark up the shipping to make more money--and reflect a tiny bit more than what I actually pay. If you need it faster, I can arrange it; if you are in the area and want to pick up your purchase to save shipping costs, we can arrange that, too.
Generally, on custom orders, I don't accept returns (because there are not many people with your initials, etc.) but I'm willing to discuss it with you and see if we can work out a compromise.
I use recycled shipping materials so you need to let me know if that's not acceptable.
If your purchase is a gift we can make the package super attractive (depending on your budget) but your purchase is generally wrapped in tissue and put in a tiny see-through gift bag (unless it's a gift for someone who's not quite so frilly then I'll put it in a small colored lunch bag).
Love the bracelet! I ordered it as a birthday gift for me and made myself wait to open it. It's perfect. And thank you for the extra special W charm too!
This is my second and third visit to Uppercase. The store is dangerous for me! Everything is always exactly as pictured, and good quality. I'll be back again!

It probably isn't high up on the priority list, but so many things have changed in Webdesign. Responsive, mobile first, Wordpress has turned into a great content management system, etc.
