RELIEFS
Jose Manuel Félix Magdalena is an atypical artist, with no artistic antecedents in his family, multifaceted, autodidactic and rigorous in his aesthetic approaches.
BRAÑANOVELES FROM SCHOOL
(Drawing in pen and colored pencil, 105x 65 cm.)
He was born on the 14th of October 1941 in Brañanoveles, a village in Mieres, Asturias. He learnt at school ,at the age of 3, how to put together words that his mother had taught him , and later, to read. At the age of six his family moved to la Mariana, a mining enclave near the city, where they settled at a house belonging to the company where his father, a highly-respected professional, was working. They spent 15 years there, living together within a community of labourers that worked in the mines and installations under very hard conditions. At this time, a very important period in his life, he completed a solid education ; primary school at Aniceto Sela and then secondary at the Lastra Academy, and finally, college at the Apprentice School of the factory of Mieres", where he graduated , and soon he got a job.
He was a good student and quite different from the rest in his way of playing. His ludic occupations consisted mostly of imitating adult's work, like constructing toys and devices, etc. , not only enjoying it himself ,but giving work to his friends as well.
While finishing his last part of college he did his first year of technical engineering at University (Faculty of mines and factories) which he completed in 1963. From then, he started his professional career as a mining technician advisor ,quickly progressing to directing roles at his company. In 1964 he married M. Josea del Carmen, who would always unconditionally support him. They had two sons and 5 grandchildren.
With this idyllic stable familial and financial situation, in harmony and parallel to his working life, he started to seriously develop his innate artistic inclinations , which until then, were peripheral , and at the same time , he went to University, graduating with a major in Art History from the University of Oviedo.
In 1975 the family moved to Oviedo where he established his Art studio.
In 1993, due to the end of the mine restructuring , he finished his job in the company.
In these years he made most of his artistic works, first as a painter (he got the third and first regional prize of painting in 1967 and 1968 in competitions organized by the Union).
His speciality was mostly figure and portrait.
He discovered later the secrets and techniques of sculpture and realizing that he was experiencing an artistic manifestation that was closer to his abilities, he devoted himself to it almost totally, at the same time he published a book called "Following the Stars", a publication full of tenacity, with a great format , with a very carefully-made edition, in which he makes an artistic "pilgrimage" through more than 140 drawings and comments that portrait monuments and landscapes located on the path of the mythic "Camino de Santiago".
(Santiago pilgrimage)
Keeping his love for construction that accompanied him since he was a child, and freed from his company job, he agreed with his wife and decided to build , with his own hands, a beautiful and comfortable house-studio where they spend long time ; far from the mundane noise, he keeps working on paper, wood, clay or rock.
He is an observer and has travelled with his family to all Europe, searching for new cities, their people and art works, he loves choral and symphonic music, he has a good library and he admires Old Greek Art, which he knows very well, whether in Greece itself, The British Museum, Berlin Pergamon, or the Munik Gliptotec.
He does not mind admitting that his aesthetic preferences and consequently, his works, go against the grain of the triumphant taste of actual times, even though he does not disdain how valuable actual Art is.
In very few occasions he has exhibited non public works , but only in a very individual way, and as a result of the publication of his book, there was a exhibition sponsored by the "Royal Institute of Studies of the City Hall of Oviedo" at the "Royal Institute of Asturian Studies" in which the original drawings of his book were displayed.
Living a retired and family life, he has been defined on a publication as a "shy and proud man , modest and passionate, who, in an atmosphere where developing artistic inclinations was not propitious for him -, has developed his natural talent through the study, the work, and the observation; he learns from everyone and does not look like anyone"
D. Carlos Cid Priego, Professor Emeritus of Art at the University of Oviedo said about him: "he is not a usual man.
His career in an industrial company, has nothing to do with his artistic works, which he does with great enthusiasm in his free time.
I was very pleased to have him as a pupil at the University of Oviedo, where he graduated with a major in Art History.
He does not limit himself to theories,, he is an active artist that makes splendid sculptures; the readers have on their hands a great proof of his mastery of drawing"
A newspaper titled an article in relation to the inauguration of one of his statues,
"The man who modelled himself"

Will Netflix outdo DC and Marvel now that they own these superheroes?
The biggest comic-book movies might soon be available to stream
By Gregory Wakeman
Published : August 08, 2017

Netflix has purchased comic-book publisher Millarworld in a move that teases their intention to make feature-length superhero movies, and could potentially see them rivalling the output of DC and Marvel.
On Monday it was announced that Netflix had made their first ever acquisition, but the amount they paid for Millarworld wasn't divulged. Netflix also confirmed that they will develop new films, series, and television shows in conjunction with Millarworld as they delve into their portfolio of work.
There's plenty for them to choose from, too. Here's a quick breakdown of the films that Netflix could now adapt after purchasing Millarworld:
Super Crooks - A heist story starring a band of supervillains that is basically Suicide Squad meets Ocean's Eleven.
Chrononauts – Two young professors embark on a variety of time-travelling, buddy comedy adventures all while being filmed for reality TV.
Huck – A cross between Superman and Stranger Things, this family-friendly comic revolves around a superhero that only uses his powers for good.
American Jesus - The tale of a 12-year-old that discovers he's the second coming of Jesus, who is then quickly pursued after he starts performing miracles.
'Black Mirror' brings its dark reflection of digital world to Netflix
'The Lego Batman Movie': Maybe all superhero movies should be Lego?
Dear Hollywood: Superhero movies may actually kill Emma Thompson
In all likelihood Netflix will spend the next few years adapting each and every one of these stories. Which is good news for movie and television fans, because Millarworld's founder Mark Miller has a long history of success when it comes to his output being adapted.
Kick-Ass, Kingsman and Wanted have all been made into hugely successful blockbuster films, and Mark Miller also wrote the comic-books that inspired Captain America: Civil War and Logan, while his influence is peppered all over the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Fox's X-Men series.
Since Netflix already has a deal with Marvel that has seen the likes of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist adapted into television series, the acquisition of Millarworld suggests that they'll now looking to replicate this success by bringing feature-length superhero films to the small-screen. And with Mark Miller working alongside them, that's something they're now more than likely to achieve.

13 common bug bites and how to spot them
Sophia Mitrokostas
Nov 6, 2018, 1:46 PM
Bug bites can be hard to identify, especially when there are so many household critters that can leave you with a bite.
While most insects you'll encounter are harmless, there are a few specific bites that might warrant a trip to the doctor and it's important to be able to identify these potentially dangerous bites.
From tick bites to wasp and hornet stings, each bug leaves behind distinct marks and symptoms that are worth knowing. Stock up on calamine lotion and check out this guide to identifying some of the most common bug bites and the symptoms associated with each.
Dangerous tick bites sometimes look like a bull's-eye.
CDC/Wikimedia CommonsThe 'bullseye' rash is sometimes seen in people with Lyme disease.
While most ticks don't transmit disease, there is a wide variety of illness you can contract from ticks including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Contrary to what you might have heard, ticks do not intentionally jump or drop onto their hosts. They simply crawl or hitch a ride on plant material, according to the CDC.
A tick bite that has not led to an infection may look like a small red circle. There may be minimal itching or swelling, according to John Hopkins Rheumatology.
A bite from a tick carrying Lyme disease may leave you with a bulls-eye shaped rash involving concentric rings of reddened and lighter coloured skin. This pattern may develop up to a month after the bite and never develops at all in up to 30% of people. This rash is not usually painful, according to the CDC.
Bedbug bites often show up in a line.
Oliver Arend/Wikimedia CommonsBedbug bites are small and show up in a line.
Bedbug bites have a distinctive, clustered look to them. You probably won't feel the bite of a bedbug, but you'll certainly notice the groupings of red marks that often form a line across your skin, according to the CDC.
These bites are itchy, but the amount of discomfort varies from person to person. Some people experience a severe allergic reaction to bedbug saliva and develop an intense itch between 24 hours to three days later.
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends enlisting the help of a pest-control company to clear your home of bed bugs, and to head to a dermatologist if you have many bites or a bite that looks infected.
Mosquito bites are puffy and itchy.
Ekaterina Karetkina/ShutterstockMosquito bites can swell, especially if you scratch them.
Mosquito bites look like round pink or red bumps. They're usually itchy and appear very soon after being bitten, according to Healthline. You typically won't feel anything while the bite is occurring.
While mosquitoes don't have any venom of their own, they can carry dangerous diseases like the West Nile virus, malaria, and the Zika virus. Symptoms of these illnesses might not appear for up to four weeks, so get yourself checked by a doctor if you think you've been infected, according to the CDC.
Mite bites are extremely itchy and could look like a rash.
Slturis/Wikimedia CommonsMite bites appear similar to a rash.
Mites or chiggers cause bites that look like small, red dots. They are usually extremely itchy and can even look like a solid skin rash if many bites are close together.
Chiggers are a type of mite that liquifies the skin around a bite so that they can eat it. If you're dealing with a chigger bite, you might notice the surrounding skin harden in response to this reaction, according to WebMD.
Mites can cause scabies, which is a contagious condition in which mites burrow into the skin and lay eggs. According to the CDC, scabies frequently presents in places where direct and prolonged skin-to-skin contact is common such as nursing homes, child care facilities, and between sexual partners.
Ant bites are usually painful and can become infected.
Wikimedia CommonsAnt bites can blister.
Most household black ants are harmless and do not bite, but sugar ants, fire ants, and carpenter ants can deliver a painful sting, according to WebMD.
If you are bitten by fire ants, you can expect to see small red blisters and could also develop tiny white pustules on the site of the bite, reported PestWorld. Do not try to drain or open the blisters as they could become infected. Carpenter ants actually apply formic acid into their bites, which makes them extremely painful.
These ant bites should resolve after three to seven days, though scratching the bites could cause scars.
Lice bites are almost too small to see.
Joe Corrigan/Getty ImagesLice bites are too small to see, but you can definitely feel them.
Head lice are tiny, parasitic insects that live on the human scalp and feed on blood. Their bites are usually almost too small to see but can itch fiercely.
The CDC reported that head lice do not carry any disease or bacteria, though some people may develop a large rash from multiple lice bites. Body lice, however, can carry disease, according to the CDC. Lice are spread via direct person-to-person contact and cannot jump or live longer than 48 hours off of a human host.
Horsefly bites are painful and potentially dangerous.
National Health ServicesThe bite is red with a pale area.
Horseflies are common around livestock and in rural environments. The bite itself is painful and you will most likely be aware it is happening, according to the UK National Health Service. The bite of a horsefly may look like a red circle with a pale center area.
Some people experience allergic reactions to horsefly bites with symptoms including shortness of breath and swelling.
Wasp and hornet stings can stay swollen for up to a week.
Kai Hendry/Flickr/2.0 AttributionSwelling can last up to a week.
A wasp or hornet resembles a bee in coloration, but they're not the same. A wasp sting feels like a sharp, sudden pain followed by the formation of a red and swollen mark, according to the National Health Service.
Though wasp stings usually calm down after a few hours, some stings can persist for days and lead to swelling that lasts up to a week.
Midge or gnat bites look like mosquito bites.
National Health ServicesMidge bites start as small, itchy bumps.
A bite from a midge or gnat will usually present as a small, itchy red bump. The National Health Service said these bumps can be painful and sometimes swell up quite a bit.
Occasionally, midge bites may develop blisters that fill with fluid. It's important not to pick at these as breaking the blisters could lead to scarring.
A black widow spider bite has two fang marks.
David~O/Flickr/2.0 AttributionYou'll notice two puncture marks.
While most spider bites will only leave you with a small, swollen red mark, a few household spiders can be deadly.
The bite of a black widow spider looks like a red patch with two puncture marks. The spider itself has a distinctive red hourglass pattern on its body. You might feel the bite or you might not notice. Pain and swelling will set in after about 40 minutes, and within eight hours you might feel muscle pain, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and breathing difficulties, according to Healthline.
Head to the doctor if you suspect you have been bitten by a black widow spider.
Brown recluse spider bites might form a blister and need swift medical attention.
Wikimedia CommonsIt might resemble a bruise.
Brown recluse spiders are native to Midwestern and Southeastern states. While these spiders are extremely dangerous, they are also very rare. All reported deaths from brown recluse spider bites in the US have been in children younger than seven years old, according to AL.com.
Brown recluse bites are usually painless, though a white or light-coloured blister might develop at the site of the bite. As time passes, this bite could start to look like a bruise or turn crusty. Symptoms usually appear within two to eight hours and include severe pain and itching, nausea, vomiting, fever, and muscle pain, according to Emedicinehealth.
The bite of a brown recluse spider is very dangerous and can lead to seizures, kidney failure, and coma. If left untreated, a bite from a brown recluse spider might also cause a necrotic lesion, which is basically an area of dead tissue. Head to your doctor or the local hospital for this one.
Bee stings look like hives and could still contain a stinger.
Wikimedia CommonsThe surrounding area will be red.
You'll probably know if you've been stung by a bee, as the sting is painful. The stung area will likely appear as a raised light bump with a red dot in the center and is usually surrounded by pink or irritated skin. The site could still contain the detached stinger of the bee.
Bee stings can result in a severe allergic reaction in some people that can lead to swelling in the lungs and throat, called anaphylaxis. This can lead to death if not immediately treated. Other severe symptoms include trouble breathing, dizziness, vomiting, and cardiac arrest, according to Mayo Clinic.
If you've been stung by a bee before, your body might develop an immune response to subsequent stings that can lead to severe swelling at the sting site or across large areas of your body.
Flea bites are small and scattered.
Wikimedia CommonsFlea bites are tiny.
Flea bites typically look like tiny hives or spots. According to Fleabites.net, they might appear in groups of three or four and are frequently itchy. Flea bites are coming around the ankles and legs but can appear anywhere. If pressed by a finger, a flea bite rash may turn white.
Fleas are harmless in themselves, but in incredibly rare cases they may carry the bacteria that causes plague. However, only 17 people in the past 10 years have been contracted plague in the United States, according to the CDC.

Red Flag ready to fly again
Posted by Bill Buys | Apr 24, 2018 | Bill Buys, News & Advice | 0 |
A CHINESE electric car startup is poised to rebuild Hongqi – Red Flag in English – as the nation's leading car brand.
China's state-owned FAW Group says it wants to lift its Hongqi sales from its current 3000 a year to 300,000 by 2025 and its plans include a 'spiritual successor' to the Hongqi CA770 limousine that it produced for Chairman Mao Zedong 60 years ago.
A similar car was also used by Czech President Milos Zeman when he visited Beijing in 2014.
FAW, said to stand for First Automotive Works, is China's oldest automaker, set up four years after the People's Republic was founded in 1949.
It is partnering with Nanjing-based Byton in its quest. Its current vehicles are all based on donor platforms, but it wants to regain leadership in China's now crowded auto industry.
Byton made big news at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show when it unveiled its concept all-electric SUV with powerful motors front and rear and a claimed range of nearly 500km.
Byton spokesman Dan Kirchert said he was confident tht with FAW Group's backing, the Red Flag brand would once again be up and flying, a view echoed by the original Chinese car maker.
"FAW is the eldest son of China's automobile industry and Byton is a car start-up driven by technology," FAW's Liang Guiyou said.
"Our cooperation has profound meaning."
The FAW-Byton alliance comes after China announced it would scrap foreign ownership limits on local auto firms by 2022. Currently, foreign carmakers are required to set up a joint venture with a mainland Chinese firm, with the foreign partner's investment capped at 50 per cent.
The Byton concept car features a vast edge-to-edge dashboard display and a smaller one built into the steering wheel, which can monitor in real time the health and vital signs of the driver.
Although based in China, Byton is run by former executives of Euro car makers, including some from BMW.
While Byton and FAW tidy up the paperwork, Byton hopes to begin sales of its EV for the Chinese market by next year, then to take it to Europe and the US in 2020.

The Once and Future Mush-Brain
Posted on May 30, 2006 by Baron Bodissey
Prince Charles Update: On the possible conversion of the Prince of Wales to Islam, Mary Jackson at The New English Review says:
It is extremely unlikely that Prince Charles will convert to Islam. He is a woolly headed left over hippy, who talks to plants and believes in coffee enemas. His apparent fondness for Islam is a product of his wishy washy, mushed up brain, rather than any strong belief.
"Coffee enemas"??
Decaf or regular?

They have to be regular, or they won't make you regular.
Caffeine is known to stimulate the lower intestine.
Not that I have ever tried a coffee enema, or any other kind of enema.

It is well to recall that French battlefield medics of the Napoleonic period established they could anesthetize a wounded soldier for the amputation of a leg in a rough and ready fashion by inserting a cigar up the patient's rectum.
History does not tell us whether those cigars were subsequently smoked for pleasure.
Similar questions arise in the matter of Prince Charles and the Coffee Enema story.
One Lump or Two? Cream and Sugar?
And to think the guy was a rated helo driver. Didn't he also graduate from SAS training?

I had this strange notion that the Brits kept the monarchy around as a fail safe against the possibility of their politicians screwing things up completely. Alas, after witnessing all the tawdry tabloid drama surrounding the royals, it would seem that they are even worse than British politicians. England, the mother country for most of my ancestors, seems to be swirling down the toilet bowl of History, faster and faster with each turn which, now that I think of it, brings me back very neatly to Charles and coffee enemas.

I don't know if this made it across the Atlantic – warning, some may find what follows offensive – but this same man once expressed a wish to be a tampon. I am empatically not making this up. We are so used to his bonkersness that coffee enemas no longer raise a headline, far less an eyebrow. I'm an instinctive republican, a meritocrat. But, but, but. Burned out politicias becoming President? No, thanks. The Windsors (they changed their name from the German in WW1) may have their share eccentrics and louche, dimwitted exploiters of the public purse, but it's not much and they can't actually do anything. Believe me, if they weren't royal (what? I mean WTF is royalty?) social services would have been in there long ago taking kids away and teaching them how to be responsible parents. They open supermarkets and walk woodenly round other public events. Occasionally do something rash and end up in the tabloid press. But they're figureheads, risible at times but harmless. The ones that matter, we can vote out. We don't because we're too apathetic, of course…

Sounds like you are there on the ground. So what exactly happened to the royals? Too much inbreeding? Blood lines just played out. Ennui? Too much privelege and a feeling of uselessness? The recent HBO production of Elizabeth I portrayed her as a smart, ruthless, determined monarch which I believe is an accurate portrayal; there have been quite a few resolute, successful monarchs in Britain's past. In contrast, this current crowd seems like a bunch of castrated poodles or escapees from Madame Tussaud's wax museum. I have admittedly not followed the royal family that closely but, aside from endowing a few charities, I can't remember reading of any real accomplishment by any of them. You would think that somebody would find a real job to do.

Paul Johnson has some amusing anecdotes on Gandhi's strange New Age habits in Modern Times. Prince Charles is not quite in the running for that level of silliness … yet. After all, he's still proper British. But then again, Gandhi was educated in England, too.
I must say, Prince William is looking better every day but let's hope he skips a generation when looking to his ancestors for inspiration.

I've been following this one for a while myself. Prince Uncharming had an "Islamic garden" created at one of his residences by one of many upper-class converts to Islam, Emma Clark. Clark also happens to be the great-granddaughter to former British PM Herbert Asquith. As Mark Steyn notes, this was the PM who led Britain against in WWI and "ended the Caliphate and delivered the Arab world into British hands". Now one of his descendents is a convert, and she's not the only upper-class Brit to be following this troubling trend. I'm not sure if Jemima Khan is still a Muslim, but she made a big enough splash when she did convert.
"…Jonathan Birt, son of Lord Birt, the former director-general of the BBC, is also a muslim and is known as Yahya Birt. The Earl of Yarborough is a Muslim, and goes by the name Abdul Mateen…" continues Steyn.
I had tracked down some other upper-class converts a while back, but I forget at the moment. I had planned a post about it. I just find this acceptance of such a religion so anathema to the West a VERY bad sign for "the Mother Country" as it were. Especially the rather high rate of conversion (relatively) among the more educated and well-to-do women, also occuring here in the US.
I just took another look at the picture of Charles and it's so fitting that he is wearing a hat the likes of which those cheap mechanical monkeys that clap together their little discordant cymbals wear too.

I have to admit, my faith in the reliability of the monarchy has been shaken in recent years. Elizabeth embodies everything good about it. Charles seems to embody everything that can potentially go wrong, and it would appear he's inherited it all from his father, who is a thoroughly slimy individual with very little common sense and even less taste. Still, there is hope; charles served in the navy, so there's a military discipline in there, and he's been inculcated with good old-fashioned anglicanism from birth (not the wish-washy pap they serve up today) so there's a religious discipline on top of it.
It isn't enough to stop him being a complete twit, but it might give him enough sense to request that the throne be passed on to William…
Incidentally, don't believe the tabloid crap about the royals. Most of it is made up and the rest os blown of our proportion. It's normally the equivalent of "young man gets drunk in club" or "teen goes to fancy dress party", but with the shock – shock! – of them being royal.


TLJ News: February 16-20, 2014.
2/20. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published a notice in the Federal Register (FR) that announces, describes, recites, and sets the deadline for commenting upon, its proposed rules changes related to collective trademarks, collective service marks, and collective membership marks, and certification marks to clarify application requirements, allegations of use requirements, multiple class application requirements, and registration maintenance requirements for such marks.
The deadline to submit comments is May 21, 2014. See, FR, Vol. 79, No. 34, February 20, 2014, at at Pages 9678-9697.
The USPTO's FR notice states that the proposed changes will codify current USPTO practice as set forth in the USPTO's Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP) and case law.
It adds that the proposed changes "will permit the USPTO to provide the public more detailed guidance regarding registering and maintaining registrations for these types of marks and will promote the efficient and consistent processing of such marks. Further, the USPTO proposes to amend several rules beyond those related to collective marks and certification marks to create consistency with rule changes regarding such marks and to streamline the rules, by consolidating text and incorporating headings, for easier use."
2/20. The White House news office released a statement regarding patents. It employs the term "patent trolls", without explaining the meaning of the term. It calls for legislation, but makes no legislative proposals. It recites recent actions taken by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and some things that the USPTO will do going forward.
It is significant that the White House news office is now employing the term "patent trolls". However, the statement is largely rhetorical, rather than substantive.
On the other hand, Michelle Lee, the acting head of the USPTO, gave a speech at a White House event on patents on February 20. She did not use the term "patent trolls".
2/19. Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) announced in a release that he will not run for re-election in 2014.


Paul Merson expects Tottenham to follow up their north London derby win with a defeat at Liverpool on Tuesday, and can see Man City slipping up again at Stoke while Chelsea take advantage.
After the north London derby defeat, Arsenal need to win, and it's a perfect game for them. The battle for fourth place is perhaps more fierce than previous seasons.
Arsenal win these games, they just don't always win the big games, and Alexis Sanchez returning is a boost for them. Leicester's defeat by Crystal Palace will have knocked them. It's hard to see anything other than a comfortable home win.
Villa and Paul Lambert have got to go to Hull and not lose, especially after Hull's good result at Man City. Having been dropped for the game against Chelsea, Christian Benteke should be back for this one. I think Lambert knows that if he leaves him out again he's got a death wish.
Benteke needs to score goals, that is what he's there for. They probably had more crosses on Saturday than they've had for a while, and he wasn't playing.
I just don't see where QPR are going to win an away game this season, they just don't have the pace. I think they'll be relegated, especially with the games coming up.
Sunderland will be too good for them, and their new signing will keep them up comfortably with his goals at home. It was typical Jermain Defoe on Saturday, his strike against Swansea was brilliant, and I should think he'll score again in this one.
Liverpool were good against Everton and were unlucky not to win, and they've been playing relatively well recently. Even though Tottenham had a great result against Arsenal, it's another big game, and that fantastic performance may take it out of them. You could see how much they were pushing for 90 minutes flat.
Harry Kane was superb against Arsenal. Will he ever play better than he's playing now? I don't know. But fair play to him, he's on fire.
Everton are struggling. I don't think I've seen a more comfortable performance for Liverpool at Goodison Park. I don't see anything other than a Chelsea win especially after the boost at the weekend with Man City not winning.
There's still a long way to go but I think Chelsea will win the league. They've got a better attitude than Man City, who just turn up for the lesser games and think they will turn teams over.
If you're Burnley, you can't keep going 2-0 up and blowing it. They've done it twice in the last two home games and got one point, that's nowhere near good enough.
I don't think Manchester United have been very good, I went for West Ham on Sunday and thought I was unlucky, to be fair. The strikers aren't doing it for them, but they will still be too strong for Burnley at Old Trafford.
There's not a lot between these two teams. Southampton are still up there, playing well, and they've had a bit of luck at the same time, but the games are reeling off now.
Before you know it, we'll be down to single-figure games, and if they're up there, they have a big chance. This is a test for both teams, who have been surprise packages this term.
This might be the final nail for Manchester City's title hopes. If they draw, it could be nine points to Chelsea, who would have to lose three games and City win all their games. I don't see that happening.
I don't think Manuel Pellegrini truly understands lesser opposition. Jesus Navas probably had his best game at City against Chelsea, and then he's on the bench against Hull. They were lucky against Chelsea, but look through their home games this season and the ones they haven't won have been mostly against the lesser teams.
Palace are doing well and had a great result at Leicester. I don't think they necessarily deserved to win, Leicester had their chances, but Alan Pardew has done fantastically and extinguished relegation talks.
I don't think Newcastle have done the wrong thing in having John Carver in for the rest of the season. He's right in referencing the number of star names they've had as managers that haven't worked, and he's a Geordie. They got booed off at the end of the draw with Stoke, but they were unlucky. It was a bit harsh.
This is a hard game to call. West Brom got out of jail the other day, scoring at the perfect time just before half-time but it could have gone either way.
West Brom need Saido Berahino starting games, especially at home at The Hawthorns. Pulis started positively but he doesn't seem overly happy with the performances, even when they drew up at Everton. Swansea will cause them problems, but this is a draw.

Tree stumps can pose a big problem, whether at home, at the office, or in schools. Here are basic reasons why you should have them removed.
Tree stumps can be an eyesore.
They are also considered a safety hazard. Tree stumps get covered over with plant growth such as grass and weeds over time, making them huge obstacles that may cause oblivious people to trip and fall.
If living in Texas, however, this otherwise daunting task of safely and effectively removing tree stubs is not an issue. Finding reasonably priced tree stump removal services in Plano, TX is fairly easy. But before anything else, here are some points to be considered.
Assess the tree stump. Stumps from trees that tend to fall off at maturity are relatively more difficult to remove due to the length and depth of their roots. Removal of stumps from non-deciduous trees (such as pine trees), on the other hand, is quite easier since their roots are typically wider, flatter and shallower than their deciduous counterparts.
Removal of old stumps is easier than that of fresh ones. Also, small ones are apparently easier to do away with than huge ones. Moreover, aside from size and age, consider the number of stumps to be removed. If it is more than you can handle, then you can seek professional assistance from various tree stump removal services in Plano, TX.
Be honest with your abilities. The desire to save money and DIY this task can never compensate for lack of skill and ability. In other words, if you wish to save money and decide to do it yourself although you lack the skill, then it would be wise to reconsider and rethink things over. This task is not something just anyone can easily DIY. A heavy-duty grinder weighs as much as a thousand pounds, and handling one can be tricky and very dangerous. If you can't handle it, then don't do it. In addition, expect to cash out around $100 to $200 per day for renting this heavy-duty machine.
Other relatively easier methods for removing tree stumps include burning, and using hazardous and combustible chemicals. Still, your safety is far more important than saving a couple of bucks. Even if you save a few dollars by deciding to DIY in spite of your lack of know-how, you may yet end up spending so much more for hospital bills. Such accidents can be prevented if you choose to seek professional help in the very first place.
There's nothing wrong with the decision to DIY the challenging task of removing a tree stump or two in your backyard. On the other hand, the time, money and energy to be used up in doing the project on your own should be weighed against the safety and convenience of hiring a professional. Consider the price for buying or renting the necessary tools you lack, and weigh that against entrusting the job to the many tree stump removal services in Plano, TX from which you can easily choose from.

1,200 migrants land in Sicily
Wave continues as Mare Nostrum swings into higher gear
Redazione ANSA Palermo
02 May 201411:14 News
(ANSA) - Palermo, May 2 - Almost 1,200 asylum seekers landed in Sicily Friday, bringing to almost 2,000 the latest in a wave of new arrivals swollen by good weather and a sweeping new rescue operation launched after 400 migrants drowned in tow disasters last year.
An Italian Navy ship, part of the major Mare Nostrum search-and-rescue ops, reached the port of Augusta where the 1,170 migrants will disembark and be processed.
The migrants, from various North African countries, were picked up Thursday close to the stepping-stone island of Lampedusa.
Mare Nostrum is credited with saving almost all lives of the recent migrants who brave the perilous crossing towards a better life in Europe.
But Italy says it will be overwhelmed by almost one million desperate people massing on the North African shores, and has made the umpteenth appeal to the EU for help in coping with the emergency.
Separately Thursday, more than 300 North African asylum seekers were rescued south of Sicily and taken to the port of Messina.
Earlier Friday the Navy rescued 358 migrants in the Sicilian Channel between Italy and Africa.
The migrants, who are bidding for refugee status, included 43 women, one of them pregnant, and 24 children.
The asylum seekers said they came from Mali, Ghana, Belize, Niger, Sudan, Syria and the Palestinian Territories.
Earlier this week Italy said "at least 800,000" migrants are about to leave the North African coast for Europe, while the reception system in Italy - the first landing point for the vast majority of these - is already on the brink of collapse from tens of thousands of earlier arrivals.
"We no longer have a place to take them, and locals are overwhelmed by the constant arrival of foreigners," Giovanni Pinto, head of the Immigration and Border Police agency, told a joint meeting of the foreign and defence committees in the Italian Senate.
As many as 25,000 migrants have landed on Italian shores to date this year, almost a ten-fold increase over the 2,500 reported during the same period in 2013 and nearing 2011's record levels of 62,000 migrants, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said earlier this month.
That has stretched already-strained resources in Italy, which only emerged from its deepest recession since the Second World War late last year, to the breaking point, particularly as it comes after record-breaking levels of migration in 2013.
Italy is appealing for international help in the face of the waves of newcomers fleeing their homelands in numbers that tend to increase in spring and summer months as sea conditions improve.
"Europe should know that Italy is a welcoming country, but we cannot accommodate everyone," Alfano said.
He added that 200 human traffickers believed to be responsible for smuggling thousands across the sea to Italy in dangerous conditions have been arrested.
One day earlier, Premier Matteo Renzi vowed to request more assistance from the European Union and the United Nations on tackling undocumented immigration during a special meeting of his cabinet to consider emergency migrant issues.
Part of the problem, said Pinto, is that many migrants who land in Italy are fleeing failed governments in Libya, civil war in Syria, and hostilities in other parts of the Middle East and North Africa.
That means the Italian government has no corresponding authorities to turn to for help in returning the migrants.
"We aren't dealing with a government that can establish treaties," said Pinto, refering to the case of Libya in particular.
"We have no interlocutors...There's no prime minister...there are no ministers," he said.
He also praised the efforts of the Mare Nostrum program, which was set up to prevent deaths at sea following two migrant ship disasters in October 2013 in which 400 people died in sight of Lampedusa.
"Surely the operation Mare Nostrum has given excellent results," said Pinto.
In contrast, some opposition politicians complain that Mare Nostrum only encourages migrants to risk their lives and cross the Mediterranean, often in rickety, overcrowded boats.
There are also concerns that it encourages human smuggling as well.
Northern League Secretary Matteo Salvini said last week that Italy must suspend these operations because they are too expensive - about 300,000 euros daily, he said - and represent an "invasion" of Italian shores.
Salvini, whose party has taken strong stances against immigration, called last month on allies across Europe to join the League in fighting "mass immigration" in the lead-up to May's European Parliament elections.
In response to the rising levels of dangerous migration, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has said that Italy must have more financial help.
The UNHCR has said that the Mediterranean is one of the busiest seas in the world, and urged European Union members to work together on solutions to the migrant situation, which is expected to worsen.
Migrant arrivals to Italy dropped off to the tiniest trickle under a push-back to Libya policy, similar to Australia's efforts to stem boat people, which was introduced by a previous Silvio Berlusconi-led government and criticised by progressives and human rights groups. The controversial policy was scrapped with the advent of centre-left-led governments although some analysts have said similar programmes should be restarted to stop the people traffickers who are growing fat on the plight of desperate migrants who save for years in slave labour and sex work to pay their passage to what they hope will be a better future.


Focusing on South Africa's three main cities - Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban - this book explores South African urban history from the late nineteenth century onwards. In particular, it examines the metropolitan perceptions and experiences of both black and white South Africans, as well as those of visitors, especially visitors from Britain and North America. Drawing on a rich array of city histories, travel writing, novels, films, newspapers, radio and television programs, and oral histories, Vivian Bickford-Smith focuses on the consequences of the depictions of the South African metropolis and the 'slums' they contained, and especially on how senses of urban belonging and geography helped create and reinforce South African ethnicities and nationalisms. This ambitious and pioneering account, spanning more than a century, will be welcomed by scholars and students of African history, urban history, and historical geography.
Vivian Bickford-Smith is Extraordinary Professor at Stellenbosch University and Visiting Fellow in the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London.

If you ever find yourself in North Wales and stuck for something to do, I really couldn't recommend Chirk Castle enough. A medieval fortress near Wrexham rich with history and some of the most beautiful furnishings and gardens I think I have ever seen. Its part of the National Trust, so if you're a member you get in for free, if not, its only £12.20 to get in and view the house and picturesque gardens.
I'm a big history geek so I was in my element walking around such a historically rich building and every room was just beautiful from the original furnishings to the hand painted ceilings.
Unlike most castles, that are just ruins, Chirk Castle is actually still fully in tact and theres so much to explore.
As I said the gardens alone are just beautiful and over look North Wales. Sadly I went on quite a gloomy day but even still it was just beautiful to walk around. From looking on their website lots of events seem to occur here as well including walks, half marathons and guided bat walk. Visit their website here.


Transparent morning twilight. Twilight of Northern spring is long, wet and dank. These are the natural conditions that tune to a detached contemplation. Contemplation, which is close to a sleep, chill and sucking feeling of morning hunger.

Q: Allow visitors only to see published documents in a document library? I am building a office 365 portal. I would like to implement some structure that contributors can create and edit documents. When they finished a document they can publish it. When a document is published, the visitors can see it. What is the best way to implement this?

A: I think the best way to do this is to create a Document Library with different permission from the parent site.
After creating the library, go to:
Library Settings > Permissions for this document library
and click on "Stop Inheriting Permissions" from the top menu.
This will allow you to give each group their own permission, and it would be different from the parent site.
Create a group for your publishers with permission "Read & Write. And another group for visitors with permission "Read Only"
Please let us know if that didn't answer your question, or if you have any concern.

A: An alternative to the above answer.  You can use document versioning to perform this task.  Enable major and minor versions on the library.
Only those with edit permission and above can see the minor versions.  Visitors can only see the major versions.
Simply edit the .x versions of the document until its ready for publishing then "Publish a major version" to create another x.0 version that visitors will now be able to see.
This is how the OOB publishing site collection behaves with its content.

A:
through Versioning Setting can be done

Website designing is a complicated field, whether it concerns a small business web site or complex themes like a mobile website. There are lots of experts that are willing to help you in creating a good site using the best design techniques.
How to choose best website design for your business?
Websites are varying in their nature, layout, content, coding and mobility or navigation of usage. Of these, mobile web design is seen as a potential challenge for web site designers since the users are always on the move. Moreover, they browse the mobile website using advanced modes such as iPad or Smartphone. This makes the nature of the mobile website a highly dynamic and responsive one.
Only a knowledgeable and innovative web designer will be able to cope with the stress and challenges of this job. They should know how to use some of the best web site design techniques to make the visitors feel good while staying on the website.
Many websites compete to be regarded as the number one choice among customers due to the best website design techniques they adopt. It is up to the web designers to guide the client by giving useful tips about promoting their business by reaching their customers in an anytime and anywhere approach.
Mobile web design is slightly different from regular website designing because the size of the mobile screen is smaller than a personal computer. So, a web designer should remember this point while designing a mobile website. Enable a good download speed for visitors using mobile devices by removing all kinds of complex coding and style sheets that can create confusion and disinterest.
Due to a visible lack of expertise and experience, most of the times, the smaller businesses hesitate in adopting a mobile web design for their website. First, they need to strengthen their skills in regular web site design and gain confidence. After a few years, they could venture into mobile website designing projects.


Holiday time is very important and an increasing number of people are looking for an adventurous, active and exciting time away. It seems like it is becoming part of our social status and a must-do.
Adventurous holidays mean different things to different people. When we choose an adventure holiday, we may consider a grade five white water rafting experience, sky diving out of a plane over one of the beautiful New Zealand landscapes, surfing the awesome waves of the Pacific Ocean, skiing over the Alps or exploring the underwater world on a diving holiday.
Whatever adventure means to you, choosing the holiday that best meets your needs and aspirations is very important and will help you make the most of your time away from home. This post will describe some of the top adventures picked as part of a holiday and hopefully give you great ideas for your 2014 holiday.
Scuba diving holidays will take you on a voyage of discovering the underwater world of wonders. This is the perfect holiday for those fascinated about marine life, wanting to be active or just interested in trying something new.
Whether you are a novice or an expert diver there are a range of diving holidays to suit you, ranging from swimming with beautiful marine life including sharks, mantas, whale sharks or very small critters, to exploring caves and caverns, or discovering amazing wrecks that have lain on the sea bottom for hundreds of years.
For those travelling with a family, there's also the opportunity to introduce diving at a relatively young age. Once kids are confident swimming, they can gradually be introduced to simple dives, before graduating to the more challenging dives that may appeal to older members of the groups.
Surfing holidays are a great choice when looking ahead to 2014. Surfing not only gives you an extraordinary workout, it is also a great way to get a tan, meet new people and make a beach holiday far more exciting!
Surfing holidays are pumped full of adrenaline and located on some of the most beautiful and exciting places around the globe. You can choose from a short break to Spain or be even more adventurous and travel half way across the world and visit Hawaii or Fiji, both of which are great for surfing.
Sky diving is one of my favourite adrenaline rush activities. The feeling you get when you jump out of a plane is priceless, exciting and an experience of a life time. If you are looking for something exhilarating and want to challenge yourself sky diving might just be the perfect activity for you.
Just imagine yourself on a short flight with stunning views as you climb to altitude over mountains, golden beaches and crystal clear ocean waters and experiencing the adrenaline as the aircraft door opens and the fun begins.
I belief that sky diving really takes the world of adventure to a new level. It enables you to face fears and to push your body and mind to the limits, producing a rewarding challenge as a result.
Skiing is another exhilarating activity that for some is seen as crisp turns down the mountain, moving through a forest trail or a way of just spending some time alone or with friends and feel as alive as ever. The Alps are young, rough, rugged and daunting but a popular destination for this skiing.
This activity is perfect for those with limited holiday time available as you have a number of European destinations where you can enjoy some time on the piste.
Are you now thinking about trying out one of the above sports while on holiday in 2014? I hope you are and you will be guaranteed an experience of a lifetime packed excitement.


Lucrative small companies can rapidly fail if they lack cash. Similarly, unprofitable unprof small companies can be survived for a long period of time if they have a good money balance. In other words, cash is the life blood of American small companies.
Naturally, when times are tough, inability to acquire capital to pay everyday business expenses frequently becomes a source of worry, stress and anxiety and interruption for small company owners.
Sadly, the majority of huge city and town conventional lending institutions have rigid and stringent criteria that their customers must fulfill.
Businesses have a different credit score from business owner. Even if the business owner has a high credit report, business may not have a recognized credit report (specifically if freshly established). Therefore, potential loan providers need to use options with that take business owner's personal credit into factor to consider and that accepts candidates with less than best credit.
Frequently, traditional lenders only service businesses doing 20k or more in month-to-month income. This disqualifies smaller sized companies doing 10k-15k in regular monthly income.

La Fanciulla del West received thirteen performances this season.
[The sets and costumes were borrowed from Lyric Opera of Chicago. Arrangement of the physical production, which in Chicago had been revised by Gerald L. Ritholz, on the Met stage was supervised by Wolfgang Roth.]
Review of October 26 of Leighton Kerner in The Village Voice
At last the truth has come out! The old, wild West, and more specifically, California at the time of the 1849 Gold Rush, was strictly Italian territory, where gold-seekers and gamblers went for their guns with Mediterranean fury and Indians pronounced "Ugh!" as "Oog!"
Puccini and Leontyne Price and about 150 accomplices on stage and in the pit on opening night at the Metropolitan Opera last Monday told me so, and their argument was emphatically convincing.
You may walk into a performance of Puccini's "La Fanciulla del West," (the urtext-after the fact-of David Belasco's "The Girl of the Golden West") prepared to jeer at the idea of a bunch of "ragazzi" stepping up to the bar in Minnie's (Miss Price's) saloon and ordering "whiskey per tutti," or at the thought of Richard Tucker, as a bandit, entering Minnie's cabin with a "Hello" and being greeted with a "Buona sera," but the five minutes after the first-act curtain has been raised, a blind belief sets in, and Puccini shoves Hart Crane and Zane Grey and the others off the shelf.
Much of this conviction was due the other night to Miss Price, who not only acts with her resplendent near-dramatic soprano voice, but with her whole being, and to Italian baritone Anselmo Colzani as Sheriff Jack Rance, who made the most florid gesture seem the most natural and who, for the first time, earns the right to be considered a star in his own right and not just a utilitarian replacement made use of because Leonard Warren is no longer around. Richard Tucker, who makes no pretense at being an actor, sang like the supreme tenor he is and seemed pretty much swept into the emotional current by his colleagues.
The score has been much reviled and, if you consider the heavy re-use of the "Butterfly"-"Tosca" style and occasional re-use of melodies from these two operas, carping may not be out of place. But, there is much in this work that is unlike any other Puccini, both in musical interest and genuine theatrical punch, notably in the scene where Minnie cheats Rance at poker to save the bandit's life. Positively bloodcurdling!
In this production, by the way, Henry Butler, now at the Opera House, has worked up the wild first half-hour of the opera (gambling, drinking, fighting and other assorted activities) into the most tumultuously exciting piece of staging in the Met's repertoire.
From the review of Harold C. Schonberg in The New York Times
Last night's performance was brilliant. The Chicago sets, completely realistic, set the mood. Henry Butler, in his debut at the Metropolitan, staged the performance with skill, handling the crowd scenes deftly making the best of the awkward situations of the libretto. A Western he was given, a Western he gave, complete with professional-looking gunplay, cowboys (pardon, miners) who looked the part; and he had his people acting with dignity.
The three principals were splendid. Indeed, the entire cast was. Of the eighteen members in this "American" opera, fourteen were Americans. Noblesses oblige. Leontyne Price acted well and sang beautifully, up to the soaring C's that dot the part. Richard Tucker had no high C's to worry about.
Puccini wrote one in as part of the second-act duet, but he himself sanctioned the cut, and it was so, cut last night, as it traditionally is. There was one other cut - in the first act; the entire sequence where Sid is caught cheating at cards.
Mr. Tucker employed his voice to fine advantage. He sounded clear, even clarion, and he gave a convincing impersonation. The best acting of the evening, however, came from Anselmo Colzani as Jack Rance, the Sheriff. Aside from one or two typically Italianate gestures, he went through his part with all the aplomb of a heavy in a cowboy film. And vocally he did all that could have been desired.
Fausto Cleva conducted. He is a veteran of the Italian wing of the Metropolitan Opera, and he also was a friend of Puccini's. Mr. Cleva not only worked well with his singers -that he always does - but also brought a good deal of force and personality to his conducting. In this kind of repertoire he is first-class. One could go so far as to say that he is one of the most underestimated conductors on the Metropolitan staff.
And so, "Fanciulla del West" ended implausibly, with the lovers riding in to the sunset singing addio to California. (Presumably they make a sharp turn before hitting the Pacific.) It is a show worth seeing. The libretto is good, corny fun; and the music has some marvelous things. And the kind of tight, accurate production that the Metropolitan is giving sets off in the best light whatever the opera does have to offer. It should be around for a long time to come, now that the ice has been broken.
From the review of Paul Henry Lang in the Herald Tribune
Well, like I say, I've heard of all kinds of Westerns, but this must be the first one that was played to the accompaniment of a big orchestra so expansive that the Met doesn't even know yet how much it will cost. Also, Puccini is a lot better than a hack movie arranger even though this is pretty low grade Puccini.
And of course in no Western has any one heard such singing - it was really glorious. Leontyne Price must now be considered one of the truly great divas of our time. This young woman has a magnificent, warm, soaring, lustrous, and pliable voice which she handles with impeccable musicianship, and her acting showed that she studied not only her own role but the implications of the entire libretto - such as it is. Richard Tucker may be forcing a bit here and there, but he still is the best tenor in the business, and when the two sang together we indeed needed the Wells Fargo man from the cast to cart away all the floating gold notes.
Anselmo Colzani, the robust sheriff, is a fine baritone with a good-sized and attractive voice, and convincing stage temperament. Occasionally a somewhat dry and flat tone escaped from is throat, but that may have been due to attempted realism. The supporting cast -- fifteen strong - contributed enough good voice to stock a fair sized opera house with excellent principals.
The ancient sets were pretty awful but they were borrowed. On the other hand, praise is due to the direction of Henry Butler, who with commendable shrewdness realized that this silly thing must be served up to Americans as if it were done in Milan for Italians. In English and with realistic American touches, "Fanciulla" would be sheer disaster. The presence of horses is not Western realism. Though of course fraught with certain hazards, horses on the opera stage represent a status symbol -- no small opera can afford them.
The music of this opera is saddening. The Puccini stamp is there, as is his immense savoir-faire, but real and convincing dramatic melody flares up only once or twice. Repeatedly Puccini makes you feel that the lush tune is just around the corner, but after a few wing beats the music resumes it course, vacillating between Debussy and Strauss, which is not becoming to this fine and original composer.
It is quite conceivable that "Fanciulla" will be a popular success. The singing is superlative, the acting excellent, and the goings-on often unintentionally amusing; after all, "Martha" also hit the jackpot. Nevertheless, I find it a bit embarrassing to celebrate the saving of the Met and "the elevation of the human spirit" (President Kennedy to Secretary Goldberg) with a work that is clearly not destined to survive.

There's nothing logical, sensible or even historically defensible about the volatility in the stock market. Companies are selling at ridiculous discounts right now. It's like a time machine, as if you could rewind the bull market, buy stocks, and then ride them back up again.
Why? Recession, sure, but big investors priced that in a month ago or earlier. It will last until mid-2009, most analysts say, which means now is the time to buy.
So why no huge upside rally? Too many shorts? Waiting for Obama? Nope.
"This has been the toughest year on record for hedge funds. Several factors suggest it could get even worse.
In recent weeks, many hedge funds have been stockpiling cash in the hopes of stanching losses and having the wherewithal to satisfy investor redemptions.
Some hedge-fund managers had hoped investors might reverse their withdrawal requests if the market improved. But amid the past week's rout (even with Friday's gain), and a steady redemptions drumbeat from pension funds, endowments and others, there is a sense that more hedge funds will have to close."
If it were just retail investors, this bear market would have keeled over already. Problem is, there are still about 10,000 -- yes, I said 10,000 -- hedge funds still in operation. George Soros figures two-thirds will close down.
As their investors realize the bloom is off the rose, and that these Ivy kids with the right family connections and slick networking skills are not masters of the universe, that they do not have any special tricks for investing and winning in up or down markets, the funds' shareholders will press for their money back, which forces the funds to sell into a bear market to raise cash.
Short sellers know this and keep taking positions on vulnerable companies (hello Citigroup!) on the presumption that hedge funds have to keep selling, no matter what. And, for now, the shorts are right about that.
Which, naturally, creates volatility. No one knows how long it takes to liquidate 7,000 hedge funds, but individually they can't have that much under cover, so it's just a matter of pushing the lemmings off the cliff and moving on.
Believe him or not, Barton Biggs has a pretty good explanation of it.

5 React Projects You Need In Your Portfolio
Reed Barger
You've put in the work and now you have a solid understanding of the React library.
On top of that, you have a good grasp of JavaScript and are putting its most helpful features to use within your React code.
You've made a great deal of progress... but now what do you do?
How do you bridge the gap between knowing the fundamentals of React and becoming a professional developer?
Many developers run into this problem when they reach this intermediate stage of learning React or any other JavaScript library. They know most of the library itself as well as the JavaScript to use it effectively, but they don't know the next step to take.
Why You Should Be Building Apps
After you've learned the basics of React, you need to get comfortable building apps with the skills you've gained. This practice lies at the core of being an effective React developer—knowing how to build apps on your own and utilizing the right tools in the React ecosystem to do so.
But what apps should you be building with React to level-up your ability as a developer?
In this article, we'll go through 5 different types of apps that you should consider building after the basic todo app. The great benefit of building apps is that, once deployed, they can be linked to your portfolio as a powerful, immediate way of showing employers your expertise.
For each type of app, I'll cover popular examples that you can use as inspiration, the tools I would recommend to build each feature, along with a short demo of such an app that I've personally made using React.
How to Start Building Apps With React
Unlike learning React itself, where you can find dozens of articles to dive deeper into any related concept, the process of building an app is largely a self-directed activity without much guidance.
If you're getting started building apps on your own, I would recommend searching for articles that teach you the basics of building an app and dive into the app source code that they provide. Even the process of reading code itself will make you a better developer.
If these examples look too daunting to build yourself, remember what you know as a React developer—to break applications down into composable components. Every application must be built piece-by-piece, component-by-component. Focus on building out one feature at a time. With practice, you'll get a better sense of how what tools you'll need for each feature as well as the common patterns behind building apps in general.
Note: One misconception that I had when starting to build real applications like these was that I had to build an entire backend / API with Node or Python to get the functionality I needed.
You don't need to do so. Look into powerful serverless technologies like Firebase, AWS Amplify, or Hasura that give you a complete backend out of the box without the need to create and deploy one yourself. Invest in tools that make you more productive and save time.
Build a Social Media App
If I had to recommend only one app for you to add to your portfolio, it would be a social media app. Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are quite sophisticated, and include an ever-growing number of features to keep users engaged. On top of that, it's the kind of app you likely know best regarding how it should function.
There are a number of features common among almost all social media apps:
the ability for users to make posts with text and/or media files,
a live feed of those posts,
enabling other users to like and comment on posts,
as well as user authentication.
And once you've got that down, you can add profiles for each of your users, where they can personalize their account as well as manage the users they're following.
App examples: Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Reddit
Technologies to utilize:
Create React App or Next.js to make a dynamic UI of posts, likes, and messages
Firebase, AWS Amplify, or Hasura (using GraphQL with subscriptions) for real-time data
Serverless functions like AWS Lambda or Firebase Functions for notifications
Cloudinary or Firebase storage for uploading pictures or video
Build an E-Commerce App
Pick a few of your favorite sites and I guarantee at least one of them has an e-commerce app embedded in it, even if it's just a small storefront. E-commerce apps are ubiquitous, and I bet that you'll be called upon to build one at some point in your career as a developer.
It is tempting to build an impressive, large-scale e-commerce platform like Amazon, but I would recommend working on something smaller and more focused.
Instead of a marketplace that provides all things to all people, go with an industry that interests you. For example, if you like home goods, you might take a look at what Crate & Barrel or Williams-Sonoma have built for their sites.
Aside from products, e-commerce apps may provide a service to consumers. If it is a service that is provided locally, an interactive map could be added to the app to provide for the service provider and customer to know each others' location. Food delivery applications such as UberEats and Doordash, which require the location of the person ordering the food, come to mind.
Regardless of what's being sold, whether it's physical or virtual, every e-commerce app will consist of some storefront with the product or service details. If users can purchase multiple products at once, it should have a shopping cart where users can manage the products they want to buy.
Finally, every e-commerce app needs a checkout process where users can either purchase their products anonymously or once they are authenticated.
Popular examples: Airbnb, Uber, UberEats, Doordash, Etsy, Udemy
Create React App or Gatsby for the storefront and displaying products
Stripe with the package react-stripe-elements for handling payment processing
Serverless function like Netlify / AWS Lambda to handle checkout process
Algolia for lightning-fast product searching
Snipcart for easily creating a cart and managing cart products
Build an Entertainment App
This is the broadest of all of the categories. What do I mean by entertainment? An app that is focused around a certain kind of media. This could be movies, podcasts, or music to name a few.
Some great examples of this, respectively, would be Netflix, Audible, and Soundcloud or Spotify. If you include art or design in this category, we could add sites like Behance or Dribbble to the list.
What's interesting about this category is that many entertainment apps border on social media apps. For example, an app like Tiktok, which features short, imaginative videos, is driven by high user engagement. Another app like YouTube is centered upon user interactions through likes, comments, and subscriptions.
Think about what type of media or entertainment most interests you and see if you can build a simple platform around it, where users can login and save the content that they like. After that, look into adding social elements that make it possible to add comments, like, and share content with other users on the platform.
Popular examples: YouTube, Netflix, Audible, Spotify, Tiktok
Create React App, Next.js, or Gatsby to create the app UI
npm package react-player for playing media
Cloudinary or Firebase storage for media uploading
Algolia for searching media by name (i.e. audio track, video, movie, etc.)
Build a Messaging App
Messaging apps are huge. You likely have a free messaging service like WhatsApp or Viber on your phone, or one built into your social media platform like Facebook Messenger. Services like Intercom with instant messaging are also available as web apps so companies can provide immediate customer support to their users.
Any messaging app is going to consist of a conversation with two or more people where messages are sent in real-time. Similar to the social media app, I would recommend a service such as Firebase or Hasura that transports data via WebSockets for messages to be displayed immediately in the conversation.
The majority of messaging apps are on mobile devices or tablets. If this isn't your first app clone, this is a great chance to move beyond the web and build a mobile app with React Native. Better yet, you could build a web and mobile messaging app simultaneously with a package like React Native Web.
Popular examples: WhatsApp, Viber, Discord, Messenger, Slack
React Native or React Native Web to build as a mobile app or hybrid app (web + mobile)
Firebase, AWS Amplify, or Hasura (using GraphQL subscriptions) to send messages in realtime
Cloudinary or Firebase storage for sending messages with image or video content
npm package emoji-mart for a slick Slack-like emoji picker for users to include in their messages
Build a Productivity App
This probably the easiest type of app with which to begin, considering there are so many tutorials of basic productivity apps out there. When I speak of productivity apps, I'm referring to note-taking apps, apps for managing teams, and task lists. Generally speaking, anything that helps you accomplish a certain task or be more productive.
What's great about building a productivity app first is that it provides a good introduction to app building because of the relative simplicity of many of its features.
You can start with something simple, such as a text editor to write formatted text with markdown easily and then expand upon it. Then add the ability to save text as individual files on your computer. After that, a feature to export that markdown as HTML to write formatted emails.
To start building a productivity app, ask what features an app could have to make your daily schedule easier and go from there.
Popular examples: Todoist, Notion, Things, etc.
Create React App for web or React Native for mobile
npm package react-markdown to display markdown in your app UI
npm package react-codemirror2 for writing code in your notes
npm package react-draggable for re-ordering list content by clicking and dragging
Good luck with your app building journey and I'll see you in the next article.

Recurrent Cytogenetic Abnormalities in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
Department of Pathology, Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, 2 Village Road, Happy Valley, Hong Kong. eskma@hksh.com.
Characteristic chromosomal translocations are found to be associated with subtypes of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), for example t(8;14)(q24;q32) and Burkitt lymphoma, t(14;18)(q32;q21) and follicular lymphoma, and t(11;14)(q13;q32) in mantle cell lymphoma. Only few recurrent cytogenetic aberrations have been identified in the T-cell NHL and the best known is the ALK gene translocation t(2;5)(p23;q35) in anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Since lymph node or other tissue is seldom submitted for conventional cytogenetics study, alternative approaches for translocation detection are polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). FISH is more sensitive than PCR in the detection of lymphoma translocations since directly labeled large FISH probes that span the translocation breakpoints are used. Although the recurrent chromosomal abnormalities in NHL are not completely sensitive and specific for disease entities, unlike the scenario in acute leukemia, cytogenetic and molecular genetic study is commonly used to aid lymphoma diagnosis and classification. Currently, the main clinical utility is in the employment of interphase FISH panels to predict disease aggressiveness to guide therapy, for example identification of double-hit lymphoma, or in prognostication, for example risk-stratification in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The recent application of high-throughput sequencing to NHL not only advances the understanding of disease pathogenesis and classification, but allows the discovery of new drug targets, such as BRAF gene inhibition in hairy cell leukemia. Coupled with the increasing availability of novel molecular targeted therapeutic agents, the hope for the future is to translate the genetics and genomics information to achieve personalized medicine in NHL.


3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"[a] made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.
