Henry Cavill Fat-Shamed When He Auditioned for Bond
11/20/2019 Comments Off on Henry Cavill Fat-Shamed When He Auditioned for Bond
The actor had been bullied about his weight as a kid, with the nickname "Fat Cavill."
Henry Cavill lost out on portraying iconic international man of mystery 007 after a director said he looked a "little chubby."
During his audition to play James Bond in 2006's "Casino Royale", the British actor, 36, had to recreate a famous scene of former Bond actor Sean Connery by walking out of a bathroom wearing only a towel
"I probably could have prepared better," Cavill recalled during an interview with Men's Health. He didn't land the audition, with the coveted job eventually going to Daniel Craig, who has now had a license to kill for the last four spy films in the franchise (with a fifth incoming).
"I remember the director, Martin Campbell, saying, 'Looking a little chubby there, Henry,'" Cavill said. "I didn't know how to train or diet. And I'm glad Martin said something, because I respond well to truth. It helps me get better."
Cavill eventually toned his physique and craft and earned the right to don Superman's cape for 2013's "Man of Steel."
But it was a struggle to get to that point, as he had always been picked on about his weight as a kid, with the nickname "Fat Cavill."
"I was a chubby kid," he told the publication. "I could've very well gone down the route of just accepting my lot in life and being like, 'I guess I'm not going to do anything.'"
Still he dealt with rejection before the superhero gig, missing out on lead roles in "Tristan + Isolde" and "Twilight."
"I wasn't ecstatic about not getting these things," Cavill explained, "but I was so used to disappointment from the acting business, and also from boarding school. 'No, you're not good enough' — that wasn't anything new to me."
But he eventually landed roles in the Showtime historical drama "The Tudors" and the fantasy film "The Immortals" before the Superman part found him in two additional movies as the Kryptonian, "Batman vs Superman" and "Justice League."
And as for rumors that he has retired the superhero costume for good, Cavill responds, "I've not given up the role. There's a lot I have to give for Superman yet. There's a lot of justice to be done for Superman. The status is: You'll see."
Cavill can next be seen as Geralt in the Netflix fantasy series "The Witcher" landing December 20.

The Nevada Supreme Court refused Wednesday to issue an emergency order putting the Reno railroad trench issue on November's election ballot.
The decision means a citizens group must file an appeal as quickly as possible if it wants to force the issue to the November general election ballot and leaves the city free to enter a contract to begin work on the project in the meantime.
Citizens for a Public Train Trench Vote say they don't have time for a full appeal in the case because ballots will be ordered immediately after September primaries, and they won't be able to get the question put on the ballot.
They collected signatures to force Washoe County to put the issue on the ballot, but District Judge Jim Hardesty removed the question, saying the city has the right to award the contract and begin the project lowering the railroad tracks through downtown Reno without a vote of the people.
The group asked the high court to overturn Hardesty's ruling.
"It appears that petitioners may appeal from the district court's order and the right to appeal is a plain, speedy and adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law that precludes writ relief," according to the Supreme Court panel of Justices Cliff Young, Deborah Agosti and Myron Leavitt.

11 Tips for Talking to Someone You Disagree With
Trending Topics in Australia
Would Moving to a New City or Country Make You Happier?
New research examines geographical effects on people's happiness.
Source: Pxhere
A long-standing debate in the field of psychology has been whether moving to a new location makes people happier. One school of thought says yes. In fact, it may be exactly the type of "fresh start" people need to re-calibrate their happiness. Another suggests that while a move might provide us with a temporary lift in mood, it is most common for our happiness to return to its baseline, pre-move level.
A new analysis provided in this year's World Happiness Report adds context to this unsettled debate.
The authors of the report, led by a team of researchers at the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, conducted an analysis dating back to 2018 in which they compared happiness levels among people who were natives of a given country versus immigrants/foreigners. The idea was to assess whether non-natives' levels of happiness corresponded more closely to that of their home country or their adopted country.
Interestingly, they found that people who moved to a new country seemed to largely adopt their new country's average level of happiness: "We split the responses between the locally and foreign-born populations in each country, and found the happiness rankings to be essentially the same for the two groups, although with some footprint effect after migration, and some tendency for migrants to move to happier countries, so that among the 20 happiest countries in that report, the average happiness for the locally born was about 0.2 points higher than for the foreign-born."
In other words, moving to a happier country could plausibly make you happier. By the same token, moving to a less happy country could reduce your level of happiness. And there's nothing to suggest that the same pattern of results wouldn't apply to cities as well. (Speaking of cities, the researchers found Helsinki, Finland; Aarhus, Denmark; and Wellington, New Zealand to be the happiest cities in the world, and Washington, Dallas, and Houston to be the three happiest cities in the United States.)
Three other insights are worth noting from the report:
1. The gap between the happiest and least happy countries is enormous. To measure worldwide happiness, the scientists used the following question: "Please imagine a ladder, with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top. The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?"
The gap between the happiest and least happy countries is massive. The top 10 happiest countries (Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, New Zealand, Austria, and Luxembourg) scored an average of 7.5 on the life satisfaction question above. The bottom 10 (Afghanistan, South Sudan, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Central African Republic, Tanzania, Botswana, Yemen, Malawi, and India) averaged 3.3.
Anyone who has experience with psychological scales will attest to the magnitude of this difference. A one- or two-point difference would be impressive here. The fact that there is a four-point difference between the top and bottom countries is simply staggering.
2. Smaller countries are getting happier; larger countries are not. Practically speaking, there are two ways to quantify worldwide happiness. One is to weight each country's happiness to the proportion of the worldwide population it represents. Another is to treat each country as equal to all the others. Think of it as the House and Senate versions of the happiness equation.
When you compare these two perspectives over time, the proportioned data shows a decrease in worldwide happiness from 2014 to 2019, while the unproportioned data shows a modest increase.
This means one thing: Happiness levels are improving in smaller countries and worsening in larger ones. And even when you remove the largest five countries (China, India, the United States, Indonesia, and Brazil) from the analysis to avoid possible outlier effects, the trend remains.
3. Urbanites are happier than country folk, or at least they were prior to coronavirus. Think back to a time before cities were ravaged by Covid-19: Were city-dwellers happier than country-folk? The answer is a resounding yes. The scientists calculated the happiness average for the worldwide urban population to be 5.48, compared to 5.07 for the worldwide rural population. The differences were largest in East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, followed by South Asia, Southern Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean.
Only 13 of the 150 countries surveyed showed the opposite trend. Which showed the biggest reversal? Lebanon, Iceland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Egypt. So, if you're a rural type and you're considering a move, perhaps one of those countries should be on your shortlist.

Inspiration was drawn from materials such as ivory, porcelain and jade, with a mix of traditional English and classic Ming Dynasty elements being brought together, to give each of the rooms an individual and collective look. All guest rooms were designed to give a sense of English tradition and elegance that reflect the Langham Hotel brand. At the same time a flavour of the Far East and a sense of location was introduced through the selection of artwork, materials and furniture.

Two nuns were late getting back to the convent and found the gates closed and locked. Not wanting to wake the other nuns and particularly the Mother Superior, they decided to scale the walls.
The first nun climbed up on the other nuns shoulders and pulled herself up on the wall. Leaning down she pulled her friend up onto the wall with her.
Pausing for breath, one nun said,"Gosh, Sister, I feel like a US Navy Seal!"
"So do I", said the other nun, " but where will get one this hour of the night ?"

Cary Greisch regularly performs in Luxembourg and other countries together with flutist Carlo Jans. Please use this form if you are interested in a flute and guitar recital.
It was in 1986 that Carlo Jans and Cary Greisch teamed up for the first time as a flute/guitar duo before the Luxembourg public. This interesting and charming instrumental combination accommodates a broad repertoire consisting of original compositions as well as transcriptions. Works of the Renaissance and baroque era as well as of the classical and romantic periods are represented together with modern music of the twentieth century bearing the imprint of popular-folkloristic and avant-garde elements.
For more than fifteen years now the manifold tonal and expressive resources of a duo with flute and guitar have inspired Carlo Jans and Cary Greisch to present the fruits of their common labors to the public at home and abroad. Their first CD, entitled "Flores del Sur", was released at the beginning of the year 2000 by the label "Bella Musica" and contains Latin American music for flute and guitar.

We need an extensive guide on how to not get banned.
how in the hack do you get followers on tumblr?
For my main blog I didnt get any followers until I went on som1 else blog n asked them to reblog one of my posts, I can giv u their blog or even my blog if you want. I also have a sub blog n how that one received followers I am not sure but it is doin a lot better than my main blog. My sub blog is specific where as my main is general.
It's a lot harder to get followers now if they flag your blog as "adult", because your posts won't show up in tag search. So yeah you have to go out and follow other people.
If you list your blog as "nsfw" and they don't change it, you'll get followers and reblogs more easily, so long as your content is high quality.
So I guess the question nowadays is who HASN'T had their tumblr blogs banned? Is it pretty much dead?
Thanks for sharing. I don't see any links to an affiliate website. Do you suppose that is the reason why the tumblr blog is still alive?
Tumblr can be a very decent source of traffic as well a way how to promote your brand.

Thanks for the advice but your blog is not there anymore.
Like someone said above ... who hasn't had a blog deleted yet? Not sure it's worth the time anymore.
Old advice, they changed it back.
thanx for the tut, Tofu!
Now that Yahoo has acquired Tumblr, has anyone noticed a crack down on adult content? I know that Yahoo said that they would not do this, but I never trust that sort of thing. I have a Tumblr, but to be honest I have not had a chance to do much with it lately because I have been focusing on building a couple of other sites.
Looks like this site is gone now.
This is a great post. Tumblr is a great tool for promotion and content distribution and it's under-utilized (at least by me).
I've become convinced that tumblr blogs get some sort of manual review after reaching 5,000 followers.
I can keep lots of blogs alive constantly, all on unique ips but sometime shortly after getting 5,000 followers they get deleted every time.
I do occasionally get them deleted sooner, sometimes with zero ads or links on . But I have found if you email support, they quickly reply, apologize and restore the blog. Sometimes they reply that the blog was deleted for spam. I have had blogs restored that were monetized but never one with a lot of followers.
When a blog gets banned with over 5,000 followers, they don't even respond to emails.
But I have found if you email support, they quickly reply, apologize and restore the blog.
I have never had that happen nor have I heard of anyone who has. Good for you though.
Yeah I have had a few blogs deleted and either got no response or got a copy/paste response.
They're a bunch of cunts if they're doing that.
5000 users wondering where their favorite blogs have gone.
I don't do tumblr but I'm always drawn to an opportunity to make a big score figuring out something people can't do anymore.
Does anybody know what happens just before you're banned? It sounds to me like there's some criteria (adult, lots of activity) that triggers a human review and then someone decides in 2 seconds whether or not you're an affiliate and not just a pervert.
I am planning to create multiple Tumblr site, hope to have harvest, thank you!
Just follow other people from the blog in your niche. If you have quality content, I am sure you will grow.
I have a tumblr blog for a over 2 years, not a single issue there.
You can not put ads there and do not be too spammy.
Your blog has to look natural, no spammy links and ads everywhere.
It looks like you have done something wrong.
Good post ... I've been slacking off our tumblr, time to get back at it!
Not very clued up on tumblr so this has been a very useful thread.
very good article, thanks for the idea!
"...go nuts. Show your nuts..."
It's rare for a large scale host to explicitly permit uses which are often skirted around with ambiguous definitions in the TOS.
Still not clear on how 18USC2257 applies to Tumblr. Don't see many Custodian of Records notes on Tumblr pages.
Interesting read thank you for your share.
I know somebody who started a SINGLE tumbler in late 2014. Today she has about 5000 followers and growing now by about 1000 per month... She works very hard at it and of course posts a bit of pictures from my site... the reward is already felt, I get about ONE converted customer/day.

Florida Man in Flip-Flops Goes Viral After Catching an Alligator Using a Trash Can
DJ Digital Published: September 29, 2021
It's not crazy if it works, right?
A Florida man is going viral after he captured an alligator in the most "Florida man" way ever. But what makes this video so entertaining is the fact that it totally doesn't end the way you would expect it to.
Abdul Gene Malik is the man at the center of a video that is currently making its rounds on social media. Malik is seen in the opening of the video and to be quite honest, it looks like he just hopped off the couch. Decked out in flip-flops and a durag, Malik is wielding a recycling can as a nice-sized alligator sits in a flower bed, directly in his path.
The alligator's mouth is open, and it is definitely not in a good mood. Malik is seen looking back at the person recording the video, telling the crowd of onlookers to tell him when the alligators head enters the trash can.
Like I said earlier, this video seemed disastrous from the jump. I sat watching—waiting for the inevitable epic fail or for someone to get badly hurt. As the video continues, you see the alligator come closer to the opening of the trash can as Malik pushes forward, then someone yells out "he's in there."
At that point, Malik flips the lid down and the gator violently thrashes in the can. As I'm waiting for the climax of failure, the video takes an unexpected turn.
The alligator inches further into the can. Is this actually working? It's actually working!
Malik begins to lift the can as the alligator's tail is the only visible part of its body. Before I knew it, I was sitting there saying to myself "Holy s***, it actually worked.
Then, Malik begins to wheel the trash can down the sidewalk like he's taking out the trash, but he's actually headed in a different direction.
Soon, I realized he's headed to the pond across the street. Is this dude really about to rehome an alligator after catching it in a trash can?
That's absolutely what he did—in flip-flops, no less.
A post shared by Abdul Gene Malik (@norfphilly_geno)
https://www.instagram.com/p/CUZWBkrjGA-/
The alligator seems visibly exhausted from his tussled trek as its head pokes out of the can.
Ultimately, the gator scurried back into its (more) natural habitat and the crowd erupted with applause.
Malik is aware of his viral fame and even shared a GoFundMe in hopes of continuing his "gator catching" tactics through an official business. A GoFundMe was posted on his social media pages and in the description, he detailed the events that transpired on that September day and asked others for help to continue keeping his North Philly area gator free.
He is aiming to raise $10,000, but despite his viral fame he has only managed to collect around $30. Malik, a combat veteran, says his family is struggling and could use the money to support his family.
On September 29th, 2021 I was faced with a life or death task that made me decide whether it's me & my family or the Gator. I am a Combat Veteran that struggle to make ends month to month. Fortunately enough everything happens for a reason. I will be using this support to help my family & numerous other families to remain Gator FREE. This fundraiser is set up to help support a gator catching business, & my family get through these difficult times. We'd like to raise at least $10,000 through this GoFundMe campaign. All gators will be released safely back into their environment, miles away from any residential areas.
I'm not sure what the gator problem is like in that area of Florida, but I still wouldn't try his gator-catching method at home. It's probably in your best interest to let the professionals handle any unexpected gator visits as we've recently seen what these animals can do to human beings in the wild, especially when they're spooked, cornered, or feel threatened.
A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)
Good luck to Malik, as his video continues to rise in popularity. It's only a matter of time until he becomes a meme and cements his place in internet history.
Actually, it's already happening.
For anyone who feels like they've seen this scenario before, but can't quite put their finger on it, allow me to refresh your memory with this classic scene from 'Martin.'

Vineti's solution connects those responsible for bringing a cell or gene therapy to the patient. Whether the solution needs to manage the workflow for five patients in a Phase 1 clinical trial or fifty thousand patients in a global commercial product, the therapy requires significant people and process management. Vineti makes this possible.
Traditional one-to-many therapies did not require significant software in Phase 1 trials; Excel could manage most data and coordination needs. In personalized medicine, however, the therapy becomes risky and overwhelming to manage with 10 or more patients. Enter Vineti's Ready to Use solution, which includes Chain of Identity (COI), Chain of Custody (COC), plus clinical site, manufacturing, and logistics management.
As therapies enter late stage clinical trials — and commercialization becomes foreseeable — regulators begin requiring data to support claims of consistently reliable delivery. Internal organizational complexities arise to support growing scale. Vineti's solution is flexible to meet these requirements and increasing demands.
The only third-party software supporting commercially available therapies, Vineti's robust toolset manages multi-region and multi-language clinical support, shipping, manufacturing, and compliance. For pharmaceutical companies seeking rapid commercial expansion, the Vineti platform makes this ambition feasible.
Vineti is flexible for global operations, supporting therapies manufactured and delivered in North America (United States and Canada), Europe, and Asia. Whether your therapy remains within one country or spans multiple continents, Vineti is configurable to support the workflow. With a focus on specific requirements for regional compliance, Vineti's platform also functions in many Latin- and character-based languages.
Because Vineti's solution is flexible to meet each therapy's workflow, it is able to support autologous, allogeneic, and personal cancer vaccine therapies. Working together with the biopharma team, the solution is configured to support the right workflow required for each particular protocol. If a customer has multiple therapies and different modalities, the system can support the unique configuration required for each within one account.
Each therapy requires careful handling and oversight from dozens of people across a complex, multi-party, interdependent supply chain.
Key coordinator collecting and sharing pertinent information throughout the patient journey. Needs up-to-date process information to ensure smooth therapy delivery.
Oversees the viability and safety of the patient's personalized material throughout the process, from collection and manufacturing completion through delivery and infusion.
Nurses and pharmacists collecting cells and genes per SOP. Once collected, must package, label, and ship according to specification.
Individual with hope of receiving new, breakthrough treatment to alter the course of their lives.
Orchestrates the pick up, shipping, and delivery of the patient's material between clinical site(s) and manufacturing site(s).

The new three petabyte facility, which was unveiled in North Adelaide's Edinburgh Parks region by Jay Weatherill MP, Premier of South Australia, represents one of the biggest ICT developments in South Australia's history, as well as the state's first Tier 3 data centre.
Backed by a consortium of South Australian investors, the $30 million, 6,500 square metre facility is designed to provide Defence-grade security, disaster recovery and connectivity, with a goal to pump $1 billion worth of cloud data services into the state economy.
The data centre will be available to provide mission-critical infrastructure for business and government, and has already attracted over 20 customers, including an international Defence giant and a city council.
The flagship site at Edinburgh Parks was chosen for its access to existing industrial-grade fibre and distance from flood plains, fault lines and flight paths, according to YourDC founders, Scott Hicks and Greg Siegele.
Another YourDC facility at Hawthorn, just south of Cross Road and 35km from Edinburgh Parks, uses a similar design with a more compact footprint, and together the sites provide "triangular redundancy" with customer sites, along with the geographic diversity required for disaster recovery, Hicks added.
The combined YourDC capacity provides 1000 racks, with 50TB of storage in each.
YourDC created 100 jobs during construction, and is expected to create another 30 new jobs following the launch. This will be boosted in the following months by an additional 40 onsite customer service workers from managed service providers such as Telstra, Optus, NextGen, Amcom, TPG, iFibre, and SABRENet/AARNET.
Speaking at the launch, Minister Weatherill said that YourDC Edinburgh will provide an immediate economic boost for Northern Adelaide, but will also have a far-reaching ripple effect.
"YourDC is a high capacity, high security facility that's providing not just technology but vital infrastructure for the state's economic future," he said.
"If we are to remain competitive and attract and retain world-class companies, we must have world-class data centres located here in South Australia.

Lawsuits and scandals spark admissions policy changes for U.S. universities
By Karina Huber
May 28, 2019 (CGTN AMERICA) — The U.S. college admissions process is currently undergoing some changes, in part, because of the recent college bribery scandal. But, also because of a series of lawsuits, challenging affirmative action—a policy that gives some applicants an edge based on non-academic factors such as race and gender. CGTN's Karina Huber has more.
Rick Singer, the mastermind behind the U.S. college cheating scandal, had a favorite tool to get his clients' children into elite colleges – falsifying athletic credentials.
Actress Lori Laughlin allegedly paid him half a million dollars to get her daughters into the University of Southern California by faking their records as athletes.
"I think colleges are looking at this process and they're re-examining how they're admitting students," said Meha Gupta, Founder of College Shortcuts.
Since the scandal, Yale, USC and others have pledged to increase oversight of athletic recruiting.
"Where we saw the admissions process fail was in the checks and balances between admissions and athletics and that's what we're seeing addressed here," said Bari Norman, President of Expert Admissions in New York.
Another change comes from the College Board – which administers one of the standard college entrance exams, the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT. The board announced it will soon be including a so-called "adversity score" for students.
The adversity score looks at 15 factors including crime rates in the student's neighborhood and whether English was spoken at home. Tellingly, it doesn't include any information about race.
Norman says that's because the College Board is concerned about new legal challenges to affirmative action.
Several lawsuits – including one against Harvard filed by a group of Asian-Americans – oppose the right of colleges to consider race in admissions.
"If they weren't able to consider race, they could consider this adversity index and that would be a way to create a more diverse class without directly considering race as part of it," said Norman.
Gupta says colleges are committed more than ever to creating a diverse student body. She says that's why strong test scores are not enough to gain acceptance. Applicants also need a compelling story.
"It's about how you package the student – in terms of how their essays are written, what their topics are about, how have they contributed or impacted the world and what their extracurriculars are and what their passions are in life. And to me that's a lot more grittier and interesting than just I got a 1600. I deserve to be there," she said.

Makati City—November 20, 2017— The days of boring, old-fashioned refrigerators are gone. Today, manufacturers are constantly innovating technologies that make them more attuned to the needs of today's buyers. But with the many brands available, how can you be sure that you are making the right choice?
Beko refrigerators are best in its class as the brand developed the NeoFrost+® Technology. This innovative technology sets Beko Refrigerators apart from the others as it uses powerful Active Dual Cooling systems. It has a separate fan and evaporator on freezer and fridge compartment, which allows two times faster cooling. It also makes it possible for food items to stay fresh longer.

Q: phpseclib $ssh->read() loop based on results I am attempting to install an application using phpseclib (using apt-get) and want to handle the different output results I could receive... however I am unsure how to get it working.  I currently have the following:
$first = $ssh->read('root@DMZ-Server:~#');
$ssh->write("sudo apt-get install emacs\n");
echo "
";
echo "sudo apt-get install emacs";
echo str_repeat(' ',1024*64);
if ($unexpected_output = $ssh->read('root@DMZ-Server:~#')){
  echo "
$unexpected_output
";
  echo str_repeat(' ',1024*64);
}   elseif ($continue = $ssh->read('Do you want to continue [Y/n]?')){
    echo "
$continue
";
    echo str_repeat(' ',1024*64);
    $ssh->write("Y\n");
    $continue_end = $ssh->read('root@DMZ-Server:~#');
    echo "
$continue_end
";
    echo str_repeat(' ',1024*64);
}

This if loop only works with the first "if"... That is if there is unexpected output (You go back to the shell without being asked "Do you want to continue", which means already install, etc) then this script will work just fine.
But if the application is not installed it will never go to the elseif loop.  I'm pretty sure the reason is because the first ssh->read will continue until php times out, waiting for that result... how do I write it so that it will look at both options simultaneously, and pick the correct one.
I am thinking about using CASE for this, but am not sure how to write that...
There also might be a better way to do this using phpseclib... but not sure how to do that.
Thanks!

A: Why don't you instead change how you call apt-get to apt-get install -y emacs so it doesn't prompt yes or no? You may also want to use -q so it doesn't print progress.
See apt-get(8)
The problem with your solution is that $ssh->read wait until the given pattern is found.

A: You could also do $ssh->setTimeout(10) or whatever and then when the connection times out do $ssh->getLog() to see what's actually being sent.

Портрет Елене Грималди (хол. Portret van Marchesa Elena Grimaldi (?-?), echtgenote van Giacomo Cattaneo, met een bediende) је слика фламанског сликара Антона ван Дајка. Насликана је 1623. године, техником уља на платну. Слика се данас налази у Националној галерији уметносни у Вашингтону и део је Виденер колекције. Ова слика се сматра једном од његових ремек дела. Слика је насликана на захтева мужа Елене Грималди, Ђакома Катанеа.

О делу
Ова слика је уље на платну из периода барока. Насликана је на захтев мужа Елене Грималди, Ђакома Катанеа, који је био трговац. Овај портрет је један од првих портрета које је Ван Дајк насликао након свог доласка у Италију. О Елени Грималди постоји веома мало информација. Једино се засигурно зна да је припадала  утицајној, патрицијској породици ђеновског порекла. Слика се налази у Националној галерији уметности у Вашингтону, у САД и део је Виденер колекције. У почетку се сматрало да је то у ствари копија. Извршене су разне анализе анализе и закључено је да је то у ствари оригинал који је био у веома лошем стању када је дошао у галерију. Препоставља се да Ван Дајк, током сликања, није користио студије Елене Грималди већ је она била присутна приликом његовог рада за шта је било потребно једно, евентуално два седења. Пре него што је почео рад са бојама, Ван Дајк је прво направио скицу мастилом као и студију главе Елене Грималди како не би морала да дуги временски период седи у истом положају. Целокупна композија слике као и детаљи који се налазе на њој указују на то да је она altera donna,  односно велика дама.

Анализа дела
Ова слика је из периода барока. На слици видимо Елену Грималди како излази из своје палате и полази у шетњу. То је за тај период, 17. век, био најуобичајенији начин да се проводи слободно време. Елена Грималди, заједно са њеним слугом који држи сунцобран изнад њене главе,  су приказане на отвореном. Лице јој је насликано да изгледа као да је жива. У томе видимо инспирацију од стране Рубенса и Тицијан. Тачније, био је инспирисан Рубенсовим портретом Бригиде Спинола Дориа и Тицијановим портретом Лавиније Већелио. Позадина на слици се састоји из грађевине која представља палату у којој је живела, пејзажа, као и од пет стуба која су у грчком стилу, тачније коринтском стилу. Слика је пуна црвених детаља. Имамо црвени сунцобран, црвене манжетне на хаљини коју носи и они заједно формирају троугао. Такође имамо и благо црвенило на лицу. Хаљина коју носу је од скупог материјала. Црна је и представља контраст са црвеним и светлијим детаљима. Као инспирација за хаљину је Ван Дајку служила шпанска мода. Луксузни изглед хаљине указује на њено богатство. Још један детаљ који указује на богатство Елене Грималди је њен слуга. Сматра се да је, пошто је поседовање слуге у то време био симбол богатства, Елена Грималди захтевала да слуга буде присутан на слици како би се то још више нагласило. Такође, пошто је слуга црнац, вероватно је ту насликан како би се ставио акценат на трговину робовима између Ђенове и Африке која је у то време још увек била веома активна. Префињени начин на који је насликана, њено држање, указују на понос, достојанство, надмоћ као и на њен високи статус у друштву. Ефекат који треба да постигне опуштена поза у којој се налази, наглашена је додавањем детаља, као што је на пример слуга. Сунцобран који слуга држи чини да се изнад њене главе формира ореол. Ореол представља контраст у односу на тамно, драматично небо и наглашава да су сви испод ње. Сликање црног слуге је највероватније утицај који је Ван Дајка имао Тицијан, коме се он дивио јер је Тицијан такође представљао слуге као црнце. У позадини можемо видети пејзаже који су испирисани венецијанским пејзажима. Његови пејзажи овде имају веома битну, експресивну улогу. Овај пејзаж још више повећава грандиозност коју има присуство Елене. Нешто слично томе имамо и у портретима из 16. века. Поред пејзажа, њену грандиозност још више наглашава начин на који ју је Ван Дајк насликао, у покрету. Тиме се показује да се Ван Дајк све више удаљава од статичности која је до тада била присутна на сликама. Како би још више нагласио њену грандиозност, елеганцију, софистицираност, Ван Дајк је Елену насликао да изгледа као да је вома висока, виша него што у стварности јесте. Својом висном скоро може да парира коринтском стубу који се налази иза ње. Можемо рећи да се налази у облацима јер се издиже изнад хоризонта и дрвећа која иду изнад. Портрет Елене Грималди је једини женски портрет који је Ван Дајк насликао напољу. Величанственост јој је наглашена и перспективом коју имамо на слици. Можемо да видимо да је Антон ван Дајк портрет насликао тако да изгледа као да је гледамо одоздо а тиме се ставља акценат на њену важност. Поглед, мало надмен, исто указује на то да је она на вишем положају од осталих.

У руци држи цвет нараџе. Претпоставља се да су то, заједно са црвеним манжетнама на хаљини, симболи трудноће. Симбол трудноће су такође и црвене манжетне и црвени сунцобран. Ова препоставка је касније потврђена јер је Ван Дајк, исте године, насликао и портрет њене ћерке која у својој руци држи потпуно зрелу поморанџу која представља крај трудноће и рађање детета.

Сличност са портретом Рубенса
Ако узмемо композицију у обзир, портрет Елене Грималди је веома сличан портрету Бригиде Спиноле Дориа који је насликао Питер Паул Рубенс. Оба портрета представљају изузетно високе женске фигуре које су насликане техником di sotto in sù. Такође, обе жене излазе на терасу своје богате палате а и позадина оба портрета је зграда која их јасно издваја од пејзажа које имамо на сликама. Сунцобран који имамо на портрету Елене Грималди се може повезати са црвеном драперијом коју имамо на портрету Бригиде. Архитектура која служи као позадина слике је такође веома слична.

CHAPTER I – INTRODUCTION
Literary works written in South Africa or written by South Africans living in other countries come under South African literature. South Africa has a very rich and diverse literary history. Realism being the dominating feature in the production of fiction in South African literature. The authors try to capture the country's chaotic history and that of the experiences of its people. Fiction has been the dominating genre. Fiction has been written in all eleven official languages in South Africa – with a large body of works in Afrikaans and English.
The first fictional works to emerge from South Africa were produced by colonial writers whose attitude to native South Africans was, at best, ambivalent, if not outright hostile. This is especially true of the writers of adventure-type stories, in which colonial heroes are romanticised and the role of black South Africans was reduced to that of an enemy or a servant. One such writer, Rider Haggard, wrote many mythical and adventure stories, beginning in the early 1880's. His most famous book is King Solomon's Mines (1886), a bestseller in its day.
Olive Schreiner's novel The Story of an African Farm (1883) is generally considered to be the founding text of South African literature. Schreiner was born on a mission station and worked as a governess on isolated Karoo farms, an experience that informed the novel. It tells the story of several characters representing aspects of South African society of its day. Lyndall, the young heroine, is the focus of Schreiner's feminist concerns. Bonaparte Blenkins is a portrait of the "imperial rogue" and thus allows Schreiner to express her budding anti-colonial ideas.
The novel draws on the post-romantic sensibility of Wuthering Heights, and depicts rural South African life with realism and enthusiasm. It has been criticized for its silence with regard to the black African presence in South Africa, but it is still a key text in the formation of a truly...

Most problems are solved by not doing it the old way. The most important thing to keep in mind is that when you switch to a new way of doing things, there will be a lot of flows that can be accomplished but are remarkably difficult or seem like you're fighting the system the whole time.
This has become a popular refrain among folks who work primarily from tablets. An iOS device is not a laptop and vice versa. You'd think this goes without saying, but it's surprising how many people believe that you should be able to work in exactly the same fashion on a tablet as you once did with a laptop. You can often accomplish the same things, but you'll do it in different ways.

Nigel Farage moans Brexit fireworks have been blocked - but there's a reason
The Brexit Party is joining celebrations organised by Leave Means Leave to mark the occasion on 31 January but there have been a number of obstacles

Nigel Farage moans that plans for Brexit fireworks have been blocked as the pro-Leave groups say they have faced a number of obstacles to marking the day the UK officially leaves.
Leave Means Leave are organising a big event in Parliament Square which at least 20,000 people are expected to attend.
Pro-Brexit demonstrators flooded Parliament Square on 29 March 2019 when the UK was originally supposed to leave and the campaigners want a similar event this time round.
But plans for Big Ben to ring out at 11.59pm have faced obstacles - including a cost of £500,000.
The campaign had wanted to hold a fireworks display in Westminster that would be visible from Parliament Square.
Mr Farage told the Telegraph: "The plan was to have a short, dramatic five-minute firework display. We have just met obstacles at every moment of this."
It would be impossible to hold a fireworks display on the Thames (Image: ANDY RAIN/EPA-EFE/REX)
One idea to have the display in nearby St James's park would not work because the Royal Parks say they don't allow them because of the danger they pose to nesting birds.
A Royal Parks spokesman, told the Telegraph: "We do not allow firework displays in St James's Park because of the impact on nesting birds and other wildlife."
There would also be an issue with having them on the Thames as happens river would have to be closed as happens on New Year's Eve.
A Port of London Authority spokesman said it was considering a request to launch fireworks from a barge on the Thames "but it would involve closing the river, which normally only happens on New Year's Eve."
Any plans for fireworks displays are governed by the Fireworks Act 2003.
The law bans fireworks from 11pm except on specific nights (Bonfire Night, New Year's Eve) unless they are staged by a government department or local authority.

Richard Tice, who is chair of the Brexit Party and Leave Means Leave, urged "anybody who has got a roof terrace in the close vicinity of Parliament Square that would let us set off 20 rockets, something with the 'wow' factor" to get in touch.
A spokesman for the Brexit Party leader told the Mirror that they wanted the event on 31 to be a "celebration for everyone - Leavers and Remainers".

Meanwhile crowdfunding efforts to pay for Big Ben to ring out at 11pm on January 31 have already hit £50,000.
The Prime Minister had called for Brits to raise the £500,000 needed to restore the symbolic chime to mark the moment Britain leaves the EU.
But Commons officials have reportedly told Number 10 they could not accept public cash to pay for the historic landmark's repair to be suspended in order for the bell to be rung.

Mark Francois MP, who has championed the drive in Parliament for Big Ben to Bong added: "There have always been some in the British establishment who have sought to frustrate Brexit, however they can.
"But as the Referendum and the General Election emphatically demonstrated the people have always triumphed in the end.
"This campaign allows the British public to beat the bureaucrats once again - to ensure that we properly celebrate becoming a free country."

DIYFS, jazz
DIYFS – Ellen Kirkwood
So after having my brain scrambled by the release of [A]part by Ellen Kirkwood and the Sirens Big Band, I had to get in touch and learn more all about it. Here's how that played out.
MIA: So Ellen..what role do you play in all of this..and who are The Sirens Big Band?
Yes, that's me! I wrote all of the music in [A]part, and I have been a member of Sirens Big Band since it started up in January 2010. Sirens Big Band began as a reaction to the male-dominated jazz scene. In the beginning the membership was entirely female. Like a typical big band of the type that's been in existence since the swing era in the 40s, the group is (most of the time) made up of 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 5 saxes, bass, guitar, piano and drums. Most of the time when you see a band like this (and there are lots around) you will notice that the players are mostly, if not all, men. Sirens was created not only to buck this trend, but also to create a community where women jazz musicians weren't the odd ones out, and all met new challenges together. Having our own sound was very important to us as well – we didn't just want to be "another big band only female" so we developed our own unique brand of largely world music crossover jazz. Throughout the years I have written may original pieces and arrangements for the group, which Sirens plays regularly. Nowadays we still have a membership of mostly women, but we also have a trans member and often a few guys will play with us too.
MIA: Is this a regular line-up for you..or did you recruit them for the project?
Lately the lineup of the band depends on what project the band is working on. Over the past year there have actually been 2 different projects in the works – a lot of members are the same for both, but there are a fair few differences, depending on availability, what instrumentation the music is written for, and who's right for the job. For [A]part, Sirens is actually reduced from its usual size, and instead of 8 brass (4 trumpets and 4 trombones) there are 5, including french horn and tuba, which are not typical big band or jazz instruments! Also, one of the 3 featured soloists is a vocalist, which we haven't had much in the past either. So a bunch of people were specifically recruited for [A]part.
MIA: Also..there's guests! How did you go about getting others to join in? For the unfamiliar, who are all these people and what are they doing on the album?
The three guests are Andrea Keller on piano, Sandy Evans on saxophones and Gian Slater on vocals. They are some of my favourite musicians in Australia and I'm so stoked that they're part of [A]part (pun intended). I've known Sandy Evans for a long time. She has been a mentor to me, and in recent years we have played together in other projects of mine and hers. I owe a lot to her for encouraging me and giving me opportunities so it's wonderful that her amazing playing and vibrant character is on this album. Andrea's music has always inspired me – she is one of my favourite composers and pianists, and one of the most in-demand musicians in the country. We had met a few times so I wasn't a stranger to her when I asked her to play in my piece, but nevertheless I feel very lucky to have had her play my music and contribute her incredible creativity to it. Gian Slater's voice is like no-one else's, and I love her unique approach to improvising, composing and using her voice like an instrument. I didn't want a typical jazz singer, and I didn't write lyrics; Gian's voice was exactly what the piece needed.
MIA: As the central figure, do you write and compose all of this, or are you just building the foundations and letting everyone go wild?
There are several spots where there are improvised solos, but it's mostly composed. Certainly there are places where players can use their own interpretation, yes, but that applies more to the rhythm section (drums, bass, guitar, piano) than the saxes and brass.
MIA: I've really enjoyed some crazy alt jazz this year from bands like COAST and Kurushimi, all messing with the formula and adding in other influences. [A]part definitely feels like it belongs outside the box as well. Do you set out to push the envelope or is this just a happy accident?
Ah yes, the envelope-pushing is definitely intentional. I like listening to lots of different kinds of music, and though I studied Jazz at university I love experimenting with other styles in combination with it, or even messing around with non-jazz, although elements of jazz usually creep in without me really meaning them to…. Also I like to write subversive music and try to challenge people's expectations.
MIA: I really wanna ask..with the 4 tracks, they get pretty deep..with many twists and turns within, at some points even reaching a full stop or a total mood shift. Why the decision to let the track keep going, rather than clicking over to a new track number?
Good question! I did consider this when mixing the album, but I just didn't want to chop up the sections. Despite the fact that there are sub-sections within each track, I felt that outside of their context these sections would sound a bit weird, particularly if someone stumbled across one in a shuffled playlist or something. The whole album is basically 1 long piece anyway, and the way it's constructed is very purposeful because of how the different sections relate to each other, including the order in which they occur, so I wanted that to stay as intact as possible, if that makes sense.
MIA: Lastly.. the sound..the mix..the production is just magic! How much work was it to produce an album like this?
In a nutshell, roughly 3 and a half days of recording, 3 days of editing, 3 days of mixing and 6 or 7 hours of mastering. More specifically, it was recorded for the most part with the entire band in the one room with very minimal separation. There were mics set up around the room in addition to one or more mics on each instrument. This meant it was very performance-like; nobody was wearing headphones and there was no click track. Some of the recording was done in Melbourne, due to Gian Slater, the vocalist, not being able to come up to Sydney on the recording days, and there were a few overdubs at a different studio in Sydney. The day after the recording I listened through most of the takes, finding the best and making notes for editing to make the studio time more efficient. Basically, I had a really incredible sound engineer: Bob Scott. He's just great at every part of the process; recording, mixing, producing, mastering. I was there for all of the editing and mixing so decision making on that front was a joint effort, but the actual sound and mix was all him.
And so I think I have a new Aus-music hero to look up to. I don't even play jazz really but the ability to organise something as complex and cohesive such as this is truly inspiring. I strongly recommend getting your ears around [A]part to hear what all this fuss was over!!

A strike involving over a thousand workers has crippled the Zimbabwe-based diamond operations of Anjin Investments, a Chinese company with extensive ties to the Zimbabwe military.
According to Zimbabwe's Nehanda Radio the strike has brought a virtual halt to operations by the Chinese diamond miner, with only a few Chinese nationals continuing to show up for work.
Strikers are demanding that pay be brought in line with local standards for the diamond industry, as well as the reinstatement of workers committee chairperson Tavengwa Chitima, who was dismissed on Thursday for having organized the strike.
Anjin Investments is a joint venture between a Chinese state-owned firm and a Zimbabwe military-affiliated company. The company has pumped $400 million into its Marange diamond field operations, leading some industry observers to say it could become the next De Beers.
A recent report by activist group Global Witness alleges that Anjin's ties to the army are extremely deep, with half of the company's shares held by Zimbabwean military lawyer Brigadier-General Charles Tarumbwa.
The company has been embroiled in numerous labor disputes since its founding two years ago, with workers launching industrial actions on eight occasions so far.
Anjin board member Munyaradzi Machacha has accused the staff of "being insincere with their employers," stating that Anjin has increased salaries on multiple occasions since February this year.
Anjin was also recently accused by finance minister Tendai Biti of shadowy dealings and failure to declare earnings to Treasury, compelling Machacha to declare last month that Anjin had remitted $30 million in diamond taxes to the Zimbabwe government since September.


With the development of the Internet, the scale of data center increases dramatically. How to analyze the data stored in the data center becomes the hot research topic. Programmers resort to the machine learning to analyze unstructured or semi-structured data. Thus, energy efficient machine learning is crucial for green data centers. Based the observation that there is redundant computation in the machine learning applications, this paper proposes a system which can save the power usage by removing the redundant computations and reusing the previous computation results. Evalution shows that for the typical k-means and PageRank applications the presented algorithm results 23% and 17% power saving.

Well, we survived our 13 hour road trip to and from my home state of Texas! It feels so great to be home, however, I wish I could pick up our house and move it close to family and friends! It's so wonderful to be able to visit, but saying good-bye is never fun. On top of high emotions of the going excitement and then having the good-bye blues returning, high anxiety came in at a close second. The thought of spending time packed in a car with two kids under the age of 4 for 13 hours had me going bannanas leading up to our vacation. No matter how much I browsed and made sure that we were covered at all angles, the vision of a 13 hour melt down seemed to take center stage in my mind. Thank goodness for all the mamas who have gone before me and were so kind to share there preperations on Pinterest!
I gathered a few ideas from them as well as added a few that just so happened to pop in mind(I know that was you GOD, thank you as always!) and I eventually configured a road trip activity bag that kept my toddler happy for the entire ride! I Know... I Know What Your Thinking - that I'm bending the truth. I can honestly say that having all my ducks in a row, as painful and daunting as it may be, our family did indeed survive a long distance road trip and yours can too!
These are a few items that I just happened to come across through my "road trip activity" search. You may need to tweak with items that will work best for your toddler's specific age, gender and/or developmental stage.
1. IPAD: We use our iPad for many things, however, for this road trip it was mainly used for playing app. games as we did not have Wifi or cellular coverage. The IPAD case is wonderful and so durable, it can be found here. Don't forget your car charger!
2. TRAVEL TRAY: This Tray is a must for car travel with kiddos. It's a great surface for crafts and activities as well as meal time. The side pockets are perfect for holding everything your little traveler may need and that they can retrieve themselves.
3. COUNTING CARDS & CLOTHESPINS: This is a wonderful activity that allows your little traveler to practice their numbers, counting and fine motor in a colorful and fun way!
4. DO A DOTS ACTIVITY SHEETS: This is an awesome way to keep your kiddo entertained while exercising their little brain. Do A Dot Markers are great for this. If you forget to pick up a pack of markers, like I did, any markers will do. We used round stamps we had laying around, which worked just as fine.
5. MAKE A FACE STICKER BOOK: This is a big hit with our little one. McKenzie could go for hours dressing up the character's faces with the many sticker options.
6. PIPE CLEANER & BEADS: Our little one loved stringing the beads onto the pipe cleaners, creating bracelets and necklaces for her grandma whom we were traveling to visit. We also used this as a way to practice counting and color matching. Purchased from dollar tree!
7. DRY ERASE CRAYON BOARD: This made for a wonderful blank slate allowing for free-drawing and coloring. It comes with crayons, crayon sharpener and a cloth eraser. No marker caps to loose or marker odor to worry about. Love this item!
8. STICKER SCENE ACTIVITY PACK: Another purchase from Dollar Tree! This pack comes with a cardboard scene with a glossy finish along with stickers to create a fun town scene!
Here are a few "ACTION" shots I took while we were on the road! Excuse the blurry images, I-Phones and bumpy roads don't mix.
I thought I would share our "ACTIVITY BINDER" I used to house all of our activity sheets and crayons. It came in handy, as it kept everything in one place. No digging around on this road trip! I found this pretty binder cover and simply added verbage using picmonkey.com. I found a similar design here.

DJ Shub creates a powwow for our times
He blends traditional First Nations drumming and singing with electronic dance music
by Holly McKenzie-Sutter on July 19th, 2017 at 4:37 PM
DJ Shub's powwow sounds are still spinning in new directions. At his home studio in Fort Erie, Ontario, Dan General—DJ Shub, as he's known on-stage—is preparing for a long summer on the road. He's working on new music and fine-tuning the set he'll be playing at Vancouver's Drum Is Calling Festival, one of many shows he's booked across B.C. this summer. And in a tidbit of personal news, Shub tells the Straight over the phone that he just got verified on Twitter.
"It's this weird thing I didn't know happened," Shub says. "Everyone was like, 'You're verified, don't you know what that means?' I had no idea."
While it may seem trivial, Shub has every right to be proud. The blue checkmark represents another step for the Mohawk musician on his steady climb to mainstream recognition—a journey that includes a Juno Award in 2014 with his former group A Tribe Called Red, the release of his solo EP PowWowStep in 2016, and a MuchMusic video award nomination for his first music video, "Indomitable".
Video of DJ Shub - Indomitable ft. Northern Cree Singers (Official Video)
DJ Shub, "Indomitable" ft. Northern Cree Singers
All significant milestones, considering that Shub and his peers had to invent a term, powwow-step, to describe the genre of music they were making. Powwow-step combines elements of traditional powwow sounds, dubstep, electronic dance music, and, of course, the impressive technical skills that Shub's been honing since he started as a battle DJ in his teenage years.
"We really didn't know what to call it," says Shub with a laugh. "In the early days we were doing a lot of powwow and dubstep, so we kinda just gave it the name. But now it's evolved into this thing that spans all genres of music. And I always tell people, powwow-step is still young. And it's got so much room to grow, so I'm excited to see where it's gonna go."
Shub is doing his part to facilitate that growth by elevating other Indigenous artists. Every track on his album features the names of the drum groups he samples, so fans can check out the sounds of Northern Cree or Black Lodge.
And Shub's been surprised at how often listeners have thanked him for exposing them to powwow artists. For many, it's a genre they haven't heard much about, or that they conceptualize as firmly rooted in the past—a perception Shub is working hard to change.
"A lot of people ask me 'Hey, did you get, like, old recordings?' " says Shub. "And I'm like, 'No, these powwow drummers and singers, they're talking about recent stuff and they're coming out with new things.' "
So far, Shub has mostly worked with traditional Plains drumming, the sound most people associate with powwow. But he's currently diversifying his samples to showcase the unique particularities of powwow across other First Nations.
"There's thousands of differences in cultures around Turtle Island. Every nation has their own type of singing and dancing ceremonies and whatnot," says Shub. "My next project that I'm working on is called the Smoke Dance Project, that's very particular to where I'm from, Six Nations of Mohawk. And that is just a perfect example of how unique certain nations are. I love the fact that I get to show people something that they've never seen before, and how beautiful the culture can be and how cool it can be."
Exposure to Shub's music has been eye-opening for Canadian audiences, but Shub says the culture shock was even stronger when he toured Europe with A Tribe Called Red a few years back.
"They obviously really don't know the history of the music, you know?" says Shub. "They're taught how a lot of people are taught, the bare essentials of Native culture. So they were shocked and surprised when we did Q&As over there and we had to tell them 'Yeah, Canada hasn't really treated our people that good.' They have this portrayal of Canada being this nicest country in the world or whatever, and I said, 'Well, I mean, it can be. But it's got a bad history.' "
People may not have understood the history of the music, but performancewise, Shub says it didn't make a difference—audiences knew what to do.
"We played a lot of gigs and people really didn't understand what was going on. They just knew to dance."
Shub says he's looking forward to bringing his skills to Vancouver next Saturday (July 29) for Drum Is Calling. He's conscious of the sensitivity surrounding a festival that's scheduled in response to Canada 150, but says he can't pass up an opportunity to perform for people who are willing to learn about Indigenous culture.
"If I get the chance to express my culture and show people the music, and get people to take in some information that they weren't expecting, I'm gonna take it, instead of just being negative about it," says Shub. "I look at it as not really celebrating the last 150 years, but I'm looking forward to the next 150 years."
Politics aside, a chance to collaborate with all-stars and friends like Buffy Sainte-Marie, Kinnie Starr, and George Leach is a dream come true for Shub. He's a bit shocked that he's making a living as a DJ, after leaving a well-paying job to join A Tribe Called Red.
"It was one of those scary moments when it's like, 'Do you live your life comfortably, or do you take a risk and chance it?' " says Shub. "But I think it worked out good."
That might be an understatement. And even though Shub is exposing many people to powwow for the first time, he's making music that people instinctively respond to.
"It's a familiar sound for people, kind of—when they hear it, they get it right away," Shub says. "And it's good to see people are reacting. They're going crazy for it."
DJ Shub plays the Drum Is Calling Festival at Larwill Park next Saturday (July 29).

Seems a good thing if young Phils men have such a role model if you ask me ..
"Coverboy PNoy talks about 'how to be a man" www.philstar.com July 5th, 2013
Esquire's July Cover
MANILA, Philippines - President Benigno Aquino III in a black and white, tightly cropped photo is this month's cover of the local franchise of Esquire magazine.
Aquino, who appeared as among Time Magazine's 100 Influential People last April, shot for a cover for the first time for the publication's July issue "How to be a man."
"Am I satisfied? I'm never satisfied," Aquino says on the cover as a teaser for the interview with Esquire.
The magazine said that Aquino talks about which "perpetrators" he will keep watching, his plans once his presidential term ends and why he always remembers those who make false promises.
Esquire previously featured businessman Manny Pangilinan, actor John Lloyd Cruz, boxing star Manny Pacquiao, comedian Ramon Bautista and Senator Juan Ponce Enrile on its cover. - Camille Diola


Essex Police have closed the A13 due to an 'overturned car'.
There are long delays westbound near Stifford Clays Road, near Lakeside, following the accident at around 5.30pm this evening (Friday, November 16).
The road remains blocked by police at the scene.
One witness said there was a "car on its roof" blocking the busy carriageway.
Another said: "A13 London-bound closed just before Stanford turn off.
"Car on its roof, fire engines on scene. Would think its gonna be closed a long time yet."
Traffic is facing long delays back to Stanford-Le-Hope. The eastbound carriageway is also slow due to motorists slowing to look at the crash.
Motorists are advised to avoid the area. It is unknown when the road will reopen.
Traffic is also slow passing the scene eastbound.

Art and poetry combine in this powerful book that delivers an important message about human relationships with nature. As the elders watch the rampant destruction of natural resources through activities like mining, logging and over harvest they despair at the toll humans are taking on the land. The only way to stop the devastation is to urge young people to change the future by protecting the integral connections between man and the Earth which provide us with so much.
This book supports curriculum outcomes related to indigenous relationships with the land, traditions and culture, and needs versus wants. The book also provides an introduction to outdoor activities where students are studying traditional uses of native plants, ecosystems and healthy environments.
A main feature of the book is the indigenous art work. This could form the basis of a cross-curricular action project where students use visual art to express their own values and beliefs about the natural world. The art work could become a gallery wall that highlights First Nations traditional ecological knowledge and storytelling.
