A THOREAU IN WOOD:
The Making of Wharton Esherick
Wharton Esherick was an artist and social renegade with a deep sense of attachment to the natural world. Born in 1887, he came of age in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the first decade of the 1900s, a time of great ferment in society and the arts. The patrician Victorian galleries that had long controlled the acceptable standards of "art" were then being challenged by

young artists who rejected classical concepts in favor of new ways of seeing and expressing images. These Impressionist, Fauvist, Cubist, Expressionist, Ashcan and Abstract schools first began emerging as a significant public presence during Esherick's teenage years.
Obsessed with Drawing From his earliest years, Esherick was obsessed with drawing -- using any item that would make a mark on any available scrap of paper: tablets, bits of newspaper, parts of boxes, margins of old magazines. He made endless sketches of his mother and scenes of life in his genteel neighborhood near where the Schuylkill River curved under the arched bridges made famous by local painter Thomas Eakins.
Son of a prosperous merchant, Esherick refused to abide by his father's plan that he study for a business career. Instead, after graduating high school, he enrolled in the Philadelphia School of Industrial Arts to study painting, and further distressed his family with his growing affinity for anti-business, socialist political causes.
Wins Academy Scholarship In 1909 he was awarded a scholarship for further study at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts -- an extraordinary event and the first formal acknowledgement of his innate talent. The Academy was one of the most prestigious art schools in the United States at a time when painting and sculpture were the society's primary means of artistic expression. Its galleries exhibited the work of the country's most important artists. But it was also a bastion of unyielding traditionalist dogma. The enthusiasms of young students for new ways of seeing or painting were not tolerated. And, in an act that would be characteristic of an ornery determination to do exactly as he chose, Esherick quit the Academy just weeks before his scheduled graduation to pursue the modern techniques of painting his teachers forbade.
Following the lead of other avante-garde painters, he took a day job as an illustrator at Philadelphia's North American newspaper and spent his nights and weekends painting furiously in the new Impressionist style. But he soon lost his newspaper job to a new technology -- the gravure process that allowed newspaper and magazine publishers to easily reproduce photographs on printing presses. Artists like Esherick, who previously created all the line drawings used to illustrate news stories, were no longer needed.
Esherick Discovers Thoreau He briefly found work as an illustrator of posters and record covers at the Victor Talking Machine Company across the river in Camden, New Jersey. There, he also became fast friends with another illustrator who was deeply involved in a back-to-nature movement grounded in the philosophy of Henry David Thoreau's book, "Walden." This naturalist thinking held that true freedom and peace of mind could only be found in a simple life based on honest, meaningful work, a respect for the natural world and minimal dependence on the mindless, mass-produced goods of the larger, machine-based society.
It was a book that profoundly affected Esherick. He kept a copy of it on his bedside table for the rest of his life, thumbing through it regularly for solace and inspiration much the same as other people thumbed through their Bibles. Written in the 1840s at the very dawn of the industrial revolution, "Walden" was the first great work of literature to protest the emergence of a mass-production society. The book was a commercial failure during its author's lifetime and quickly went out of print. But fifty years later, it was resurrected as a cult classic by adherents of the Arts & Crafts movement in Britain, who circulated it back into America.
Arts and Crafts Zealots This original British Arts and Crafts movement was a political crusade by anti-industrialist zealots to reorganize civilization in a manner that made reverence for aesthetics -- rather than money -- its core value. They believed all the objects of daily life should celebrate high art and hand craftsmanship.
This "Arts and Crafts" philosophy spead across the Atlantic in the 1890s and was a major influence throughout the American art world during Esherick's formative years. It inspired legions of individual artisans to new forms of experimentation and heavily impacted the thinking of architects. Arts and Crafts buildings were high-art designs executed in an unpretentious manner with natural materials from the surrounding region. Each building was a homage to its site, blending so harmoniously with the landscape it almost assumed the essence of a natural thing itself. The "Prairie School" of design by Chicago's Frank Lloyd Wright became the movement's most famous architectural offshoot. Wright's stunningly elegant turn-of-the-century buildings integrated structural mass and line with furnishings and interior detail to create a revolutionary "unified environment" of natural materials, organic forms and motifs of the surrounding flora.
At the same time he was immersed in his impressionist painting and his growing desire for a "naturalist" life, Esherick married the daughter of a center city meat merchant -- a woman who loved classical music and the dance and who was also eager to escape the clamor of Philadelphia for a more "organic" life.
Esherick began taking solitary journeys on the Pennsylvania Railroad line that ended at Paoli, 25 miles west of the city. From there, he took horse and wagon rides with rural real estate agents through the surrounding rolling hills. In Paoli, in heavy woods at the bottom of the area's tallest mountain, he found an old stone farm house for sale. Sitting on five acres of rocky ground not well suited for farming, the property was as dilapidated as it was cheap.
Esherick Abandons City Life The year was 1913. The 25-year-old, academy-educated artist returned to Philadelphia, packed up his new wife and their few belongings and dropped out of the city forever, retreating into rural Pennsylania to live the simple life and devote all energies to his goal of becoming a successful modern painter.
That quest would be become his greatest failure, yet open the door to his true vocation.
After reaching Paoli in 1913, the Eshericks settled into a spartan existence. Using the crude tools of a colonial farmer and any materials he could scavenge, Wharton made the dilapidated house and barn watertight. The couple dressed in the sturdy clothes of peasants, read by the light of kerosene lanterns, baked bread in a wood stove and grew their own vegetables. Wharton wandered the woods and slopes to commune with nature and find subjects for his paintings. They both read voraciously, with a steady stream of books, magazines and newspapers available at the other end of a morning's brisk walk to the nearby railroad station village.
Elsewhere, the world was increasingly embroiled in social unrest and political chaos. Europe erupted in vast battles between newly-mechanized armies. After America entered the war, Philadelphia and its surrounding counties were ravaged by shortages of basic food items as well as coal. Rioting city mobs attacked coal-carrying railway cars to seize fuel for their homes. An influenza epidemic raged through the Philadelphia region, killing as many as 700 people a day in an era before vaccines or antibiotics. Accounts of the time indicate that corpses piled up so fast they were stacked like cordwood and buried in hastily-dug mass graves.
The Trip to Alabama Suddenly, Esherick accepted a job as an art teacher in the remote town of Fairhope, Alabama, and took his wife away from the Philadelphia region in 1919. It was one of only two extended journeys Esherick ever made away Pennsyvania, and it changed his life.
Fairhope was a utopian colony established two decades earlier by a group of tax-protesting reformers, including Philadelphian Joseph Fels, who had played a major role in organizing another utopian experiment -- the Rose Valley Arts and Crafts community in Pennsylvania -- just a few miles from Esherick's Paoli home. Isolated in endless tracts of pine forests along the coast of Mobile Bay, Fairhope could only be reached by ferry. Its government combined various aspects of socialism and democracy in a communal manner designed to prevent the emergence of either great wealth or great poverty. All land was owned collectively, as were all public utilities, including even the People's Ice Company. Anyone who wanted to build a house or a small business could obtain land for free.
By 1919, the fishing, farming and lumber milling community had also become a popular haven for tax objectors, free thinkers, painters, writers and assorted iconoclasts from around the country. They were drawn by the solitude, natural beauty and cheap living -- one could get by on $6.00 a week -- as well as an open atmosphere of intellectual stimulation and unfettered debate. In addition, growing numbers of liberal-minded educators as well as parents were trekking to Fairhope to inspect or enroll their children in the revolutionary school where Esherick went to teach painting. Established in 1907, the School of Organic Education had become nationally famous as one of the seminal institutions of the new "Progressive Education" movement.
Much like the experimental colony around it, the school was established as an alternative to life in the American mainstream. One of its goals was to eliminate the competitive conditioning of children. Its students received no marks, no honors, no failures and no promotions. Daily activities were designed to develop an appreciation of creativity in all aspects of living and instill a sense of wonder and curiosity about the surrounding natural world. The curriculum heavily stressed drama, arts, crafts, music and free-spirited dancing. Overall, the school sought to turn out aesthetically oriented young citizens motivated to live and work together in harmony rather than compete with each other for status or wealth.
Author Sherwood Anderson and Esherick Shortly after the Eshericks settled in Fairhope, a troubled Chicago writer, Sherwood Anderson, was also traveling to the deep south to find refuge. A failed businessman, Anderson cranked out marketing copy for an ad agency while he wrote short stories and novels on his own time. His novel that would become an American classic -- "Winesburg, Ohio" -- had just been published to critical acclaim in 1919, but he was, nonetheless, destitute. Anderson's marriage was disintegrating and he despaired at both the hack advertising work he was forced to perform as well as the rising chaos of Chicago itself. The city was then in the throes of its worst race riots as well as a cacophony of labor unrest, new construction and the spectre of spreading political witch hunts by police conducting mass roundups of "radical socialists, moral perverts and (those) who abound in communism."
When he left Chicago, Anderson had completed the first rough draft of his next novel and was seeking some quiet, cheap and inspirational getaway where he could write in peace. He ended up in the outback of the Alabama delta aboard a ferry to Fairhope. One of the first people he met when he stepped off the boat was painter Wharton Esherick. Anderson, then 44, and Esherick, 33, struck up what would become a life-long friendship.
Immersed in Fairhope's free-spirited community of artists, both men experimented with new media. Anderson threw himself into sculpting with clay and painting in a Cubist and Abstract style. Fascinated with the colorful ceramics being turned out at a Fairhope kiln, Esherick designed, crafted and fired a series of ceramic animal figures.
Esherick's First Wood Chisels Because of his connections to the commercial publishing world, Anderson understood the need of book publishers for good illustrators. Virtually all book illustrations of that time where done either by fine etchings on metal plates or by earthier wood cuts. Wood cut prints were also the most economical way to create small runs of posters -- such as those used to announce scheduled art exhibits and dramatic performances around Fairhope. Anderson gave Esherick a set of the small chisels used to create wood cuts and soon, as avidly as he had previously sketched, Esherick was carving and printing wood block images.
By the end of 1920 both men had left Fairhope -- Esherick and his wife returning to their Pennsylvania farm house and Anderson taking a job as a newspaper editor in Marion, Virginia, where he hung his office walls with Esherick's Fairhope paintings.
Back in Paoli, Esherick set up a wood block printing press while he continued painting. As a matter of necessity, he also began making items of simple furniture for his home, including a large dining room table that was the family's central gathering place.
To earn some badly needed money, his wife ran a small nursery school in her home for the children of nearby families. She taught weaving and a form of rhythmic dance designed to encourage children to joyously release themselves to music. She was also a student of natural cures and a believer in the therapeutic powers of organic foods -- interests that drew her into a circle of similarly-minded friends in nearby Rose Valley who were connected to the natural cure sanitorium of ostepathic physician, Dr. Ruth Deeter.
Dr. Deeter's brother, Jasper, had just moved to Rose Valley from New York City to organize a professional theater company in an old stone mill that was used as the local community center. The 28-year-old Jasper Deeter felt the craft of acting was being debauched by the Broadway practice of having the same actors play the same roles in the same play night after night, year after year. He objected to the manner in which theater stages were being turned into factories that used actors like machine parts, endlessly going through the same motions. In his view, such stultifyingly dull work was no less destructive for the spirit of an actor then it was for that of an assembly-line worker.
In 1922, Deeter organized a true repertory theater company in Rose Valley -- a group of actors who learned all the parts of many plays and were able to perform different roles in a different play every night. Thus, the actor's skills were constantly challenged and developed in a manner that was as enriching for the individual as it was ennobling for the institution of the theater itself.
The group's sudden domination of the old mill lead to a community controversy about whether Deeter had any rights to use the hall. In a fit of temper, Deeter, at one point, vowed that Rose Valley would have true repertory theater even if his actors had to practice their craft outside among the hedgerows. The name -- Hedgerow -- stuck and after Deeter did secure the rights to the old mill, its name was changed to Hedgerow theater.
Hedgerow Theater in Rose Valley
Putting on as many as five different plays a week, the Hedgerow troupe lived in a high-spirited commune in several nearby houses and even in some refurbished chicken coops. All shared in acting as well as housekeeping chores from garden hoeing and potato peeling to lugging around stage sets and sweeping the theater floors. All intensely "lived" the plays that were constantly being added to the company's repertory. Jasper himself was revered by his cast; his nightly experiment in true repertory theater drew appreciative audiences from around the region.
The Eshericks at Hedgerow in Rose Valley Mrs. Esherick was brought into this exuberant theatrical community by her friend, Jasper Deeter's sister. She soon brought Wharton. She and Wharton both had a passion for theater and music and both were captivated by the magical atmosphere that was Hedgerow. Wharton joined in to design, build and paint stage sets and perform the carpentry work required to keep the ancient stone structure in safe repair. Simultaneously, images of actresses and dancers with flowing hair and sinuous bodies became a regular motif in his sketch books and wood cuts. And it was from this same circle of theatrical friends that he would ultimately select the woman -- actress Miriam Phillips -- who, in all but formal title, would later replace his wife.
Acquiring the Mountaintop When Wharton and his wife returned to Pennsylvania from Fairhope, Alabama, in the early 1920s, the surrounding areas of Chester and Delaware counties were changing rapidly as increasing numbers of affluent city dwellers sought suburban homes and estates. Businesses were likewise expanding out of the city, scouting cheap land within easy trucking distance of a rail line. Rumors flashed through Paoli that representatives of a quarry company were investigating the mountainside property directly above Esherick's own land. He panicked. A quarry there would turn the naturally wild area into an industrial zone of blasted rock, uprooted trees, and debris heaps. Esherick, strapped for money as always, went to his grandmother and borrowed enough to buy the twelve acres of land stetching up the side and over the top of the mountain. It ensured the tranquility of his physical surroundings but put him further in debt than ever. He HAD to sell more paintings.
Carving Wooden Frames Clearing out and fixing up a section of his barn as a rural gallery, he filled it with his own Impressionist paintings of natural scenes from eastern Pennsylania and Alabama. In an attempt to enhance the saleability of the paintings, he fashioned wooden frames for each one, sculpting the surfaces and contours of the frames with chisels.
Selling the Kitchen Table When he corraled a series of prospective buyers to the barn gallery, he was chagrined when more were interested in purchasing the uniquely-styled frames than the paintings they contained. A visitor who came into the house was enamored of Esherick's unusual dining table and offered to buy it. Desperately in need of cash, Esherick sold it and made another one for his family.
The New York Gallery Scene Determined to break into the mainstream gallery system to sell enough paintings to survive, Esherick packed up a collection of his work and made several trips to New York. He had carefully assembled a list of the most meaningful galleries in Manhattan and spent days walking from one to the other trying to interest their owners. "I think it was one of the most bitter experiences in his life," said George Rochberg, the composer, and a close friend of Esherick's during the last 20 years of his life.
Putting the Iron in his Soul "Wharton told me this vivid story of the last gallery he visited during that time," said Rochberg. "By then he was depressed as well as tired, having tramped through all those other galleries. That last gallery manager was wearing a morning jacket, striped trousers and a disdainful look as he watched this hayseed from Pennsylvania come through the door. He flipped through a few paintings and asked Wharton if anyone had summoned him to New York. Wharton said, 'No.' The man shook his head and told Wharton the best thing for him to do was go back to wherever it was he lived in Pennsylvania and wait until someone from New York sent for him. It was as awful a put down as one could imagine and a crushing blow to Wharton's ego. But I also think it helped put the iron in his soul."
Then entering mid-life, Esherick had been struggling to be recognized as a serious painter for nearly 20 years. In 1924, at 37 years old, he gave up the dream that had sustained him since he was a teenager and suddenly put away his brushes, oils and easels. He never touched them again.
Then, with the same fervor with which he had previously painted, he threw himself into wood block printing, wood sculpting and the crafting of small items of furniture. It was a time when his involvement with the Hedgerow Theatre troupe and the surrounding Rose Valley artistic community continued to become an ever-larger part of his life.
History and Influence of Rose Valley Back in 1901, a group of Philadelphians including such luminaries as Edward Bok of the Curtis Publishing Company and Joseph Fels, the soap magnate, had joined with socialist activist and architect William Price to turn deserted mill town of Rose Valley, twenty-five miles west of Philadelphia, into a utopian Arts and Crafts commune. Located along the heavily wooded banks of Ridley Creek, the town became a center of woodworkers hand crafting high-quality oak furniture with a gothic, medieval flavor. Over the years, they were joined by potters, weavers, painters, musicians, actors, illustrators and other artists drawn to the idea of living "The Art That is Life" in Rose Valley. By the 1930s, community had evolved into an affluent enclave where many of the region's leading architects, designers, judges and lawyers maintained Arts and Crafts-like custom homes.
When he first started with wood, Esherick used exotic materials from Asia and Africa and his initial creations had a heavy, medieval feel with dense geometric surface carvings much like the Gothic furniture previously produced by Rose Valley's woodworking commune.
But Esherick quickly abandoned foreign woods, turning exclusively to local materials from his area of Eastern Pennsylvania. His surface carvings became elegantly spartan representations of local trees and birds. The line and mass of his furniture and sculpture took on an increasingly sensual, organic quality. He was using wood to celebrate the feel and essence of the natural world as well as the expressive concepts that had perviously guided his painting. His unique work was combining, as never before, the line and spirit of modern sculpture with the techiques of fine furniture craftsmanship.
He began making the free-form wooden bowls, platters, and trays and utensils that his family and friends used daily -- even going so far as to create a dining room table that had salad "bowls" carved into its surface. It was typical of his penchant for mixing equal parts of droll humor and frugal practicality: diners ate their salads and then wiped up the remains of oil in a manner that was constantly re-oiling and enriching the wood of the table itself.
He began accepting orders for items of furniture and received commissions to do the wood block illustrations for new editions of Walt Whitman's works such as "Song of the Broadaxe."
Esherick's Studio/Home Begins in 1926 Wandering the dirt roads and paths of the surrounding area, Esherick began seeing ever larger "images" in the living trunks and boughs of massive trees. As his sculptures increased in size, he quickly outgrew a small barn workshop. In 1926, with help from several neighbors and friends, he began laying the stone foundation for a woodworking studio on the very crest of the mountaintop above his farmhouse -- a site that visually evoked Thoreau's notion that "there are none so happy in the world but beings who enjoy freely a vast horizon." The spot provided a panoramic overview of the surrounding hills carpeted in oak and evergreen, dogwood and laurel. Below, birds glided by in languid formations or hung themselves stationary, like individual kites, in the updrafts. Lush green farmlands, laced with rivers and often tufted with morning mists, stretched as far south as the eye could see down the flatlands known locally as "The Great Valley." It was on this mountaintop, amidst saws, planes, wood shavings and his well-thumbed copy of "Walden" that Wharton Esherick finally found himself as an artist.
By the end of the 1920s, his woodworking skills and refreshing artistic vision brought him growing recognition in influential circles of architects, designers and wealthy Arts and Crafts patrons connected to Rose Valley's Arts and Crafts community. This, at a time when the Arts and Crafts movement itself had all but died out across the rest of the country.
By the latter 1920s the nation-spanning mechanisms of radio, newspapers, slick magazines and Hollywood movies had coalesced for the first time into an integrated marketing colossus that could influence the perceptions, desires and buying habits of the whole population, spawning an economy that depended on the creation of endlessly changing "fashions" that would cause people to continually purchase -- and then discard -- an ever-growing array of mass-produced goods. Newly-tested concepts of mass psychology were employed to convince the consumer that his or her own individual status and worth as a person was directly related to the act of purchasing clothes, furniture or other manufactured products.
Department Store Culture Rejects Hand Craftsmanship In this new, emerging department store culture, the concept of "hand crafted" or "craftsmanship" not only fell into disfavor but took on an almost odious stigma. It was generally perceived that only poor people would resort to using "home-made" or "hand-made" objects because they couldn't afford the "proper" products found in stores.
In fact, the very term "Arts and Crafts" was seized and co-opted by advertising executives who promoted it as just another of the many "styles" of lamps and furniture mass produced by the millions for department store outlets. "Arts and Craft" architecture went the same route as factories produced small Arts and Crafts houses -- their lines vaguely suggestive of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie School structures -- as do-it-yourself kits.
Death of the Arts and Crafts Movement By the late 1920s, the soul of the original Arts and Crafts Movement had been eviscerated. Art historians would later write that in subsequent decades, America's overall artist-craftsman activities fell to their lowest ebb in modern times. True craftsmanship of the old school was practiced by only a small number of "loners" working in isolation around the country.
Esherick the Loner One of those isolated artisans on a mountaintop in Paoli was Wharton Esherick. Ironically, he had found his niche at the very moment national respect -- and any significant market -- for such talents collapsed. Like Thoreau, he was a loner in the truest sense of the word -- a man confidently following his own visions through a society that he knew placed little or no value on such visions.
Living in spartan simplicity and struggling with minimal support, constant debt, and little potential for the broad adulation that most artists crave above all else, Esherick toiled in relative obscurity for decades.
After his spiral staircase and a collection of his free-form furniture was exhibited in the New York World's Fair that opened in 1939, he did establish a reputation in high architectural circles, but remained unknown to the rest of the culture.
Hailed as Dean of American Craftsmen In the late 1960s, as hand craftsmanship gained new national stature and popularity as part of the baby boomer generation's counter-culture movement, his life's work was recognized as a leading force in that crafts revival. Shortly before he died, he was officially hailed by the national art and design community as the "Dean of American Craftsmen." It was an accolade he accepted with the wry humor of a man who had long ago come to terms with the reality of his existence.
Esherick was a rare man who created for the joy of the process itself. His life and work can largely be summed up in the words of a section of Walden where Thoreau wrote of another artist: "The material was pure, and his art was pure; how could the result have been other than wonderful?"

Land Report Collective members Leticia Bajuyo and Jason Brown co-chaired a panel discussion at the 2019 College Art Association conference titled Land Art Reconsidered: land use, water rights and indigenous sovereignty.
The panel took place on Friday, February 15, 2019 (10:30am-12:00pm) at the Hilton Midtown 2nd floor Gramercy East (New York, New York) with panelists Dr. Anya Montiel, Alexis Elton, Audrey Molloy, and Chris Taylor.
Land Art or Earthworks gained attention in the 1960s and 1970s as artists used the natural landscape to create site-specific structures, art forms, and sculptures. In many respects, this work borrowed heavily from ancient cultures and civilizations that created art on a monumental scale in the landscape. Contemporary artists who work in the landscape often extend their interventions and investigations beyond formal aesthetic elements to include conceptual, historical and contextual references. What are the challenges and opportunities facing artists working in the field today who are following in the footsteps of Land Art from earlier time periods?
This panel highlighted the work and research of artists, activists, critics and curators who are engaged in practices that explore land use, water rights and issues of indigenous sovereignty. We are interested in how this dialogue can transcend borders that typically reinforce nationalism and privatization. Indigenous artists are creating very innovative work in response to landscape through a process of truth and reconciliation – can a post-colonial critique effectively challenge globalization through Land Art? How might artists work with local communities to resist socio-economic systems that favor private property? Do forms of social practice and creative place making offer new models for civic engagement to transform public property and the commons? As issues of water rights become more critical to the conversation, how are the fields of environmental and ecological art merging with Land Art?

Q: Can return keyword be omitted in a return statement? I recently come across the below piece of code in this Apache Axis tutorial example.
int main()
{
    int status = AXIS2_SUCCESS;

    axutil_env_t *env = NULL;
    axutil_allocator_t *allocator = NULL;
    env = create_environment();

    status = build_and_serialize_om(env);

    (status == AXIS2_FAILURE)
    {
        printf(" build AXIOM failed");
    }

    axutil_env_free(env);

     0;
}

What i don't understand is the 0; at the end.
Is that return statement without the return keyword?
I tried the below piece of code to test this in Visual Studio.
int main()
{
    0; // in the second run, replaced 0 with 28
}

Both programmes ran without any problems. But echo %ERRORLEVEL% at
windows command line returned 0 for both.
But the below piece of code
int add()
{
    0;
}

causes

Error  1   error C4716: 'add' : must return a value

I understand that return value 0 is implicitly added for the main().
I don't have a problem including the return keyword at all, but I am
porting the Axis2/C Library to a C++ project. And there are many instances
where I encountered 0;
Why is the above syntax causing this undefined behavior?

A: In C++ return can be omitted only in main() , in functions that return void, and in constructors and destructors. In the former case main() returns automatically 0. In your case the statement 0; is a syntactically correct statement, evaluated as a no-op, so the compiler is basically ignoring it.

A: Where did you find that code? It seems like it's corrupted, perhaps due to formatting for showing it on a web page or something...?
The original code (from https://github.com/bnoordhuis/axis2-c/blob/master/axiom/test/util/axiom_util_test.c) is:
int main()
{
    int status = AXIS2_SUCCESS;
    axutil_env_t *env = NULL;
    status = build_and_serialize_om(env);

    if(status == AXIS2_FAILURE)
    {
        printf(" build AXIOM failed");
    }

    axutil_env_free(env);
    return 0;

I went to Mykonos last summer (I know, I know it's a long overdue post!) and, as expected, I fell completely in love. The bad part is that I went there in the peak season (in fact THE peak week!!!). The good part is that I still loved it, even with all the people.
Greece has thousands of gorgeous islands but somehow, some of them manage to make their way through the top preference of people and Mykonos and Santorini are right there at the top. They are both drop dead gorgeous but in a completely different way!
Mykonos is famous for many reasons, but probably this is the main one. Notice how I did not say nightlife? Cause Mykonos is on for 24 hours!!! Ok, yes, maybe a bit less in the morning, when all the night birds are still sleeping, but come early afternoon, the island starts vibrating again!
We chose the more chilled vibe of the early parties (afternoon and evenings) and decided to actually enjoy our days at the beach so I cannot really relate about the night experience first hand. However, let me tell you this: there are buses picking people up from various locations to drop them off to party places! Yup…. PARTY BUSES!
Now, that was my favourite part about the island. And I am not talking just go to the beach. No. Mykonos is famous for its beaches. There are so many and each of them manages to bring another vibe to the island. We stayed there for 7 days and tried a new beach every day. Sometimes 2 per day! However, for the sake of this post not getting too long, I will create another one dedicated only to the beaches! Deal?
All I will say here is that there is a competition as to which beach has got the bluest and clearest water!!! 😉 My god, the colour of the water in Mykonos is out of this world! Look at this!
Seriously! Hear me out here, as I certainly know what I am talking about! Probably everybody knows that Mykonos is extremely popular with gay people, so much so that some people even call it the gay island. BUT….it doesn't mean that you will only find gay people there, no way. Yes, you will certainly find A LOT more than on any other island (that I know of).
Now, the best part about it, is that, as a girl, you feel completely at ease in Mykonos! There is no confusion of somebody hitting (or not hitting) on you, so you can just have relaxed and pleasant conversations with people.
The white cobblestoned streets of Mykonos town, decorated with bright spots of colours from doors, shops, flowers to restaurants are inviting you to just keep walking and discover them. Each corner, each street reveals another charming sight and, if you are like me, you cannot stop taking pictures.
Being a jet setter destination, you can imagine that you will not only find your usual souvenirs shops here but a lot of fashion shops, art galleries, jewellery shops, home deco and so on. Do not leave Mykonos before checking some of these out. The fashion shops actually have some really special and sometimes unique pieces.
If you are in Mykonos for a few days at least, it is a pity to just stay and hang around at your hotel beach. One of the main activities on this island is beach hopping (see #2 above). And some of the beaches are quite spread out and you can only reach them by car or ATV. Be careful and do not rent a big car there, as the streets are not really meant for big cars. Many of them are quite narrow and I have seen a few traffic jams created just because some of the cars were too big to be able to pass easily!
This is hands down the best and the most impressive place to watch the sunset in Mykonos. You might want to go there a bit earlier to make sure you can secure a spot at one of the terraces, cafes or restaurants aligned along Little Venice.
In addition to exploring the island by car/ATV, you can also reach some of the beaches by boat. And in fact, I preferred this to the car. So whenever it was possible, we always chose the boat. And I do not mean boat tours. They simply work like a water bus. They have an itinerary and they are picking people from beaches along the way and dropping them off to other beaches. We were staying in Ornos, which was the starting point for most of the boat trips so it was pretty easy.
You are on a Greek island so that should actually be your main activity right?
One tip that I need to give you about Mykonos though is that it is a very windy place. Some beaches are windier than others. I have to say I could not relax 100% on some due to all the sand flying around all the time. We also went there in August, which I understand it is normally high winds season so maybe check this out before you go.
I hope this guide is useful if you are going there and if you've already been, let me know what you think and whether you think there is something interesting I left out!
Looks beautiful! I've been to 84 countries but Greece is one of my missing ones. Need to make a trip soon. Thanks for the tips!
Wow! 84 countries is an impressive number! Do you have a favourite?
So beautiful! How is it that there's so few people along the cobblestone alleys in Mykono? Did you go very early?
Looks like heaven! I love that there are both expensive and cheap options for quality food.
Awesome pictures and good information.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Really makes me crave a trip back to Greece. You've captured the island so well with your photography and tips. Lovely post, very glad I found this!
I love how you included that as a girl you felt safe there! I think this is an important point as cat calling and such is very annoying when you just want to relax and enjoy yourself when you travel !
The pictures of the old town and the shopping T_T omg I need to go there now!!!!
Your photos are really beautiful! Thanks for the tips, you've gven me some ideas now!
Thank you so much for your appreciation! Happy I could help!
Beautiful photos as always, Mihaela! A new beach every day sounds amazing, I'd love to head to Mykonos next year!
Thanks so much Flo! I will make a list of those beaches in my next post so you can take it with you as a mini guide when you go ;-).


Brainwashed - The Vacuum Boys, "Songs From The Sea Of Love"
Consisting of Icelandic superstar Heimir Bjorgulfsson, of Stillupsteypa ("He's usually got the best girlfriends"), sound artist Guy Amitai ("a great addition to the club because he's a master of disguises and costumes"), MIMEO member Gert-Jan Prins ("goes to a special science camp every summer"), and guitar improviser Dan Armstrong ("I suppose that I am the one that usually gets us into trouble"), The Vacuum Boys are surely the team to clear Amsterdam's Staalplaat shop of the hauntings caused by the Carl Michael Von Hausswolff spirit communication LPs in the racks. The Vacuum Boys sound isn't exactly rock'n'roll, but it might just be on the edge of post-rock. They're perhaps a more improv, and less serious, version of Austria's superb Radian, arranging glitch, earth-hum and white noise sounds, as well as guitar, keyboards and drums, into tracks that are abstract, but warm and friendly too. The sense of humour in the booklet is reflected so well in the music that it'd be mean to call the Vacuum Boys concept gimmicky. It's definitely a lot of fun, at least for fans of hair-raising musical experiments; maybe the girls in Amsterdam cafes will be slightly harder to impress.


This flavorful black tea with a fragrant aroma is a delicious way to experience the healing effects of medicinal herbs. Mellow and warming with beautiful citrus notes make this tea one of our all time favorites.
To make a cup of tea we recommend steeping one tea bag in boiling water for 3 to 7 minutes. Longer steep times will increase both the flavor and potency of the beverage. Adding milk will also increase the effects of the medicinal herbs, as the active components, known as cannabinoids, react even better with the fats in the milk. For a stronger brew add a second tea bag. When making a pot of tea, add one bag for every 7 ounces of boiling water that you pour into your pot. If you are a new medicinal herbs user, or if you have never tried an infused tea or edible, please start with a half cup and wait 45 minutes to an hour to see how it affects you. Adjust your dosage accordingly.
Ingredients: Black tea, Cinnamon, Orange pieces, Lemon balm + Lime leaves, Natural flavors(organic compliant).

Rather than making adoption something to live down or something that other kids don't have to live with, the family can go out of its way to make adoption something special and unique. For example, parents can celebrate "Adoption Day" each year with a party, or write letters to the child telling him or her how excited they are to have the child join their family. The important thing is to reinforce the child's comfort with and pride at being a part of the family and to work to make sure they do not internalize a message that anything is wrong with them because adoption has occurred.


« Since the testis is a relatively radio-sensitive organ, we considered that radiation exposure would lead to changes in the morphology or the function of this organ, » the study noted.
« Radioactivity concentration of caesium in the testis was about more than half of that in the skeletal muscle and the level was the same as in other organs, » it said.
« Adverse radiation-induced effects were not observed » following radiation exposure of up to 10 months.

Q: MySQL countdown procedure Is it possible to create some kind of MySQL function/procedure/routine/event/whatever that compares the server datetime with a table record field datetime and starts counting and updating a same record "seconds" field every second passes by?
Being more specific.
I have a table record with a field datetime for example with this data:
06-03-2015 17:15 (below minutes not important)
I want MySQL to check the server time with this field datetime and when it reaches that date, starts updating another field in the same record every second, like a countdown. All this automatically through some kind of procedure.
Is it possible? And if it is, can someone give some guidelines or point me in the right direction?


Online classifieds site Gumtree Media, recently announced as the most trafficked site in SA, according to Effective Measure and Mediamark, specialist media sales solution company across radio, digital, events and TV media channels are teaming up to offer advertisers a unique service.
Ravinsky says that Mediamark is the ideal partner to bring Gumtree's unique value proposition to clients. "Mediamark has strong relationships with the major spenders in South Africa. They represent multiple mediums and brands who serve desirable audiences across the country".
According to Ravinsky, "There is no other platform that can create as many opportunities to combine customised audiences as Gumtree can. You can speak to audiences based on actual search criteria: e.g. a search for a Land Rover Discovery, location (Germiston), price range (R350, 000 to R450, 000) and behavior (sending a query to a dealership advertising Land Rovers)…or all of the above. The more detailed the data, the better.

Epidemiology & Infection (1)
Spotted Fever Group Rickettsioses (SFGR): weather and incidence in Illinois
J. L. KERINS, S. DOREVITCH, M. S. DWORKIN
Journal: Epidemiology & Infection / Volume 145 / Issue 12 / September 2017
The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of increasing incidence of Spotted Fever Group rickettsioses (SFGR) in Illinois, with a specific focus on weather variables. We analysed cases of SFGR reported to the Illinois Department of Public Health from 2004 to 2013. Surveillance definitions changed in 2008 and 2010, but those changes alone did not account for observed spikes in incidence in 2008, 2012 and 2013. A total of 590 cases of SFGR occurred, with the majority in the southernmost portion of the state. Only 3·4% of the reported cases were considered confirmed under the case definition. Increased mean winter temperature (IRR 1·32, CI 1·25–1·40) and increased precipitation (IRR 1·08, CI 1·04–1·11) were each associated with increased incidence of SFGR. Our findings show that weather appears to play a significant role in explaining the increasing annual incidence of SFGR in Illinois.

Journal: Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union / Volume 9 / Issue S301 / August 2013
The Vista Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) ESO Public Survey is an ongoing time-series, near-infrared (IR) survey of the Galactic bulge and an adjacent portion of the inner disk, covering 562 square degrees of the sky, using ESO's VISTA telescope. The survey has provided superb multi-color photometry in 5 broadband filters (Z, Y, J, H, and Ks), leading to the best map of the inner Milky Way ever obtained, particularly in the near-IR. The main part of the survey, which is focused on the variability in the Ks-band, is currently underway, with bulge fields observed between 34 and 73 times, and disk fields between 34 and 36 times. When the survey is complete, bulge (disk) fields will have been observed up to a total of 100 (60) times, providing unprecedented depth and time coverage in the near-IR. Here we provide a first overview of stellar variability in the VVV data.
Substitution of saturated with monounsaturated fat in a 4-week diet affects body weight and composition of overweight and obese men
L. S. Piers, Karen Z. Walker, Rachel M. Stoney, Mario J. Soares, Kerin O'Dea
Journal: British Journal of Nutrition / Volume 90 / Issue 3 / September 2003
A randomised crossover study of eight overweight or obese men (aged 24–49 years, BMI 25.5–31.3 kg/m2), who followed two diets for 4 weeks each, was performed to determine whether substitution of saturated fat with monounsaturated fat affects body weight and composition. Subjects were provided with all food and beverages as modules (selected ad libitum) of constant macronutrient composition, but differing energy content. The % total energy from saturated fat, monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat was 24, 13 and 3% respectively on the saturated fatty acid (SFA)-rich diet and 11, 22 and 7% respectively on the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA)-rich diet. MUFA accounted for about 80% of the unsaturated fats consumed on both diets. Body composition, blood pressure, energy expenditure (resting and postprandial metabolic rates, substrate oxidation rate, physical activity), serum lipids, the fatty acid profile of serum cholesteryl esters and plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were measured before and after each diet period. Significant (P≤0·05) differences in total cholesterol and the fatty acid composition of serum cholesteryl esters provided evidence of dietary adherence. The men had a lower weight (-2·1 (se 0·4) kg, P=0·0015) and fat mass (-2·6 (se 0·6) kg, P= 0·0034) at the end of the MUFA-rich diet as compared with values at the end of the SFA-rich diet. No significant differences were detected in energy or fat intake, energy expenditure, substrate oxidation rates or self-reported physical activity. Substituting dietary saturated with unsaturated fat, predominantly MUFA, can induce a small but significant loss of body weight and fat mass without a significant change in total energy or fat intake.
Effects of solvent extraction on the hypocholesterolaemic action of oat bran in the rat
Richard J. Illman, David L. Topping, Kerin Dowling, Rodney P. Trimble, Gordon R. Russell, Gerald B. Storer
Journal: British Journal of Nutrition / Volume 65 / Issue 3 / May 1991
In adult male rats fed on a cholesterol-free synthetic diet, plasma cholesterol concentrations were lowest with oat bran, intermediate with cellulose and highest with wheat bran. Plasma triacylglycerols (TAG) were similar with wheat bran and cellulose but higher with oat bran. The concentrations and pools of caecal volatile fatty acids (VFA) were lowest with cellulose and equally higher with oat bran and wheat bran. Plasma VFA concentrations in the hepatic portal vein reflected those in caecal digesta and were unrelated to plasma cholesterol. Feeding oat bran after extraction with n-pentane gave plasma cholesterol concentrations similar to that found with wheat bran. Reconstitution of oat bran with extracted lipids did not restore the cholesterol-lowering effect. Addition of the extracted material to a wheat-bran diet had no effect on plasma cholesterol. Plasma TAG were higher with the oat bran and reconstituted-oatbran diets than with wheat-bran or cellulose diets. However, extracted oat bran+safflower oil gave similar TAG concentrations to that with wheat bran. These extractions and additions did not change caecal bile acid or neutral sterol concentrations. Effects of these diets on plasma cholesterol were unrelated to their tocotrienol or tocopherol content. Addition of n-pentane to oat bran followed by evaporation of solvent gave plasma cholesterol concentrations that were significantly higher than untreated oat bran but lower than similarly treated wheat bran. It is concluded that oat bran affects cholesterol metabolism through a pentane-soluble component as well as non-starch polysaccharides. It appears that the activity of this lipid is not transferable by simple addition of the solvent extract to the whole diet.

Q: Adding key-value pairs to BerkeleyDB using hash access method I am trying to create a BerkeleyDB using the hash access method, like so:
>>> from bsddb3 import db
>>> dben = DB()
>>> dben.open("filename", None, db.DB_HASH, db.DB_CREATE)

However, when I try to insert an entry, nothing works:
>>> dben.put(3,2)

results in

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "", line 1, in
      dben.put(3,2)
  TypeError: Integer keys only allowed for Recno and Queue DB's

Attempting
>>> dben[2] = 1

it gives the same error.
How do I add an entry to my hash BerkeleyDB?
Using cntrl-space for autocomplete I can see no relevant methods. The same goes for the docs: PyBSDDB v5.3.0 documentation

A: The only (ugly) workaround on Python 3+ is to encode string to bytes first:
dben.put(bytes(str(3), "ascii"), bytes(str(2), "ascii"))

or, more conveniently:
dben.put(str(3).encode("ascii"), str(2).encode("ascii"))

>>> dben.exists(bytes(2, "ascii"))
False
>>> dben.exists(bytes(3, "ascii"))
True

A: bsddb stores as key and value only bytes. So you have to convert your value to bytes first. The prefered method is to use the struct python module.

Akhilesh Yadav chides doctor on emergency duty for interrupting during his meet with accident victims
Yadav, also President of the Samajwadi Party (SP), was meeting the victims of the Kannauj bus accident and their families here on Monday. He had, earlier on Monday, announced a compensation of Rs 20 lakh to the kin of people who lost their lives in the accident.
Kannauj (Uttar Pradesh): Former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Monday lashed out at a doctor on duty at a government hospital here, while meeting the patients of the recent bus accident.
In a video of the incident, Yadav is seen reprimanding a senior consultant doctor, who was on emergency duty at the hospital, for interrupting while he was talking to the patients.
"You are a very small officer. You cannot defend the government," Yadav was heard telling the emergency medical officer (EMO) DS Mishra.
"I was standing there because I am their attending officer. When the patient's family members claimed that they did not receive their cheque (compensation), I tried to clarify that they have received the cheque," Dr Mishra told reporters.
He said that Akhilesh Yadav then asked him to go away even though he was on emergency duty.
As many as 20 people are feared dead after a double-decker bus carrying at least 45 passengers collided with a truck at Dewar Marg in Kannauj district here late on Friday and went up in flames.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had announced Rs 2 lakh each compensation for the deceased and Rs 50,000 each for those grievously injured in the incident. (ANI)

Thor, the Norse God who has been a staple in the Marvel Universe since 1962, caught our attention in a different way during Avengers Endgame when he appeared as a despondent out-of-shape slacker after Thanos snapped everyone into oblivion.
In the movie, he gives off a Big Lebowski vibe with a casual outfit, which includes sandals, and his long hair and beard.
If you'd like to dress up as Fat Thor for a costume or Halloween party, you won't have to worry about the costume being uncomfortable because it consists of items that any couch potato would love.
About The Fat Thor Look
In both the comic books and the MCU films, Odin strips Thor of his powers and sends him to Earth as punishment because Thor is too arrogant.
In the MCU, he eventually joins the Guardians of the Galaxy. He has a very powerful hammer that is known as Mjolnir. Thor also has a love interest named Jane Foster, who meets him during her work as a physicist who is studying the type of phenomena generated by his appearances.
Some critics of the movies believed that they were fat-shaming the main character, while others considered it commendable that the character was a little more realistic-looking.
Love it or hate it, the character of Fat Thor seems to be here to stay and has become a staple of comic-cons throughout the world.
How to Dress Like Fat Thor From Marvel Comic Universe
The Fat Thor costume consists of sandals, flannel pajama pants, a T-shirt, robe, and a large hammer.
It usually comes with a long beard and a long-haired wig as well, to reflect how Thor let himself go after the events of the Thanos snap.
Many costume manufacturers include all of these items, while some rely on the users to provide their own T-shirt, sandals, and other items. But the costume usually includes flannel pants, a solid-colored teal/green T-shirt, and a dark-colored robe.
The costume often comes with a waist sash as well, and a belt that threads through the loops at the waist.
The robe is usually a brushed knit flannel robe and the T-shirt is made out of cotton. The bathrobe comes with front pockets and therefore ensures your comfort level each time you wear it.

GOSSIPONTHIS.COM Celebs Adele Announces Split from Husband Simon Konecki After Seven-Year Relationship
Adele Announces Split from Husband Simon Konecki After Seven-Year Relationship
Devarrick Turner
Published April 19th, 2019 at 10:12 pm
Adele is, unfortunately, saying "goodbye" to her husband, Simon Konecki. The couple has split after seven years together.
The separation was announced today (Apr. 19) in a statement released by representatives for Adele.
"Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always, they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment."
Adele and Konecki, an entrepreneur/philanthropist, have a 6-year-old son together named Angelo.
The couple began dating in 2011, but has pretty much kept their relationship out of the public eye, splitting their private time between London and Beverly Hills.
"The reason her relationship works with Simon is because they are on the same page," a source told People in 2016. "Their priority is their son, and Adele loves being a mother. Angelo is a very happy little boy."
In 2017, the 30-year-old singer confirmed that she and Konecki, 44, had married after much speculation due to a ring being spotted on her left hand.
She was photographed without the ring in March 2019 while at a recording studio in New York City.
As news of the split was just announced, there's no word if the couple has taken any action towards divorce. We wish them well during this time.

One bright side is that local public transit is widely used, so it may be an option to avoid the headache of driving in the heavy traffic by leaving the car at home and taking transit. In addition, the borough is also quite pedestrian-friendly, because many neighborhoods are very dense and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot.

Boys boat on polluted Lake Ahémé
Life lessons, from Africa
A North Delta exchange student spends three months living
with a family in Benin
Boaz Joseph
Aug. 31, 2011 8:00 p.m.
For three months last winter, Denny Hollick became "Yovo."
It's what the locals called him in Akodeha, a destitute lakeside village in southern Benin, a small, drumstick-shaped country in West Africa.
Yovo translated to "white" in the local Fon language, and being a well-meaning guest, Hollick didn't argue.
The 23-year-old, third-year business student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University was on an exchange program with Canada World Youth, which is sponsored by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
The goals: To learn about a local culture by living with a family in a Third World country to participate in a volunteer project within the host community.
The six-month program, involving nine students from Canada and nine from Benin, actually started in Canada.
For the first three months, the group stayed with families in Quebec.
Hollick describes it as a typically Canadian existence, and it gave him time to learn French, one of the languages spoken in Benin.
He expected a culture shock for the next three months in Africa, but Hollick felt like he had landed in a different world, one that would challenge his mere existence – let alone the lack of creature comforts he was used to back home.
There was the constant sweat, the (mandatory) taste of chlorine in his water, the diet of corn starch and fish parts, the latrine that was a hole in the ground and a bucket for a shower.
It would be his home for three months.
He and the other eight Canadians were jarred into survival mode.
"Frequent territorial crises and conflicts with animals that you live with," he wrote on his personal website. "There is a rooster that is plotting to kill me, and a goat that won't stay out of my room."
But there was more to it, and the real learning began once he had "adjusted" to tending to his basic needs.
"In spite of all of that, after a few days of adjustments, you wouldn't believe it, but I am actually alive," he continued. "And it's actually pretty cool here minus the lack of protein in my diet."
Hollick began to absorb nuances of local culture.
Each night at sunset, following a voodoo temple ceremony, eight Guardians of the Night would act as watchmen to protect the village.
They would be men clad in straw-rattan costumes shaped like coned haystacks.
They would do magic tricks to convince locals that the vessels were empty before they started moving around in the dark.
The visitors also got a rare opportunity to witness rituals inside the tent of a hevioso, a voodoo priest.
(Hollick's father, when called from Africa by his son, was taken aback at the story of human skulls being thrown, as well as death threats amid running crowds, during one dramatic religious ceremony.)
About 20 minutes outside of their main village, the Canadian exchange students volunteered to teach kids at a school about health and the need for clean water.
"There was no electricity and no running water. The kids went to school in literally a wooden shack – sticks of wood tied together with a grass roof," he explains in an interview in the spotless, air-conditioned foyer of Kwantlen's Fir Building. "This village in particular was really impoverished."
It's name: Tokan 2.
Due to civic politics, it was not recognized by Tokan 1, and was given no resources for education or infrastructure.
Hollick says local kids had never heard of the word diarrhea – an ever-present affliction – nor had any training in basic hygiene.
Boiling or filtering water was a priority if expensive well water was unavailable, the group explained to the locals.
Lake Ahémé was the nearest body of water, and unfortunately, a place for every imaginable human activity.
"The water was completely infested," says Hollick. "You'd never want to go in there. We weren't allowed to swim in the water at all. It's full of parasites.
"And they're fishing in there. They frequently bathe, drink…it's a life source for them but unfortunately, it's also where they threw most of their waste."
When the Canada World Youth exchange students did a cleanup in one small section of the beach, they discovered that under the surface of the sand, there was an even, thick layer of plastic garbage bags.
"It was a massive amount of trash because they have no way of disposing it or dealing with it."
Hollick says he learned much about how Western governmental and non-governmental organizations work in Africa, and how they can improve.
He says some groups spend too much money bringing in dignitaries for project groundbreaking ceremonies while not doing enough research on the local need for what's being built.
He says that well-meaning Westerners often build schools that are soon abandoned due to a lack of teachers.
The more successful organizations are the ones that work closely with locals to determine their needs, teach them to fish (figuratively) and spend time living with them if possible.
The Canada World Youth exchange students, for instance, ate what the locals ate – cooked thoroughly, as was an organization mandate for the students.
Hollick's Beninois host mother – he had to call her "Mom" out of respect – went to the market daily and bought two or three fish.
"They would just end up cutting those portions up for each person in the family," Hollick recalls. "When you have a family of eight, 12 or 15 people, it's not a whole lot to go around. Everything is shared, and definitely not wasted. If there's a fish head on your plate, then that's what you're eating. You're eating the eyeballs and everything."
Despite the hardships in his Benin village, Hollick says the people were friendly, had a strong sense of family and culture, were resilient and generally positive about life, given what they had.
The were also adaptable.
"You'd be walking into a village, into somebody's clay-built hut with a grass roof, and he'd be sitting there talking on his cell phone."

Hélène de Pourtalès (ur. 28 kwietnia 1868 w Nowym Jorku jako Helen Barbey, zm. 2 listopada 1945 w Genewie) – szwajcarska żeglarka, dwukrotna medalistka igrzysk olimpijskich. Jest pierwszą kobietą, która zdobyła medal olimpijski i pierwszą reprezentującą Szwajcarię na igrzyskach olimpijskich.

Życiorys
Helen Barbey urodziła się w Nowym Jorku jako córka Henry'ego Barbeya i Mary Barbey. Po rodzinie od swojej matki odziedziczyła pasję do jeździectwa i żeglarstwa. Koń należący do jej wuja, Pierra Lorillarda, wygrał w 1881 Epsom Derby. Newport, w którym mieszkała jej rodzina, często gościło Regaty o Puchar Ameryki.

W 1891 w kościele de la Sainte Trinité w Paryżu poślubiła hrabiego Hermanna de Pourtalèsa. Mieli trzy córki. Była macochą pisarza Guya de Pourtalèsa, syna Hermanna z pierwszego małżeństwa z Marguerite Marcet. Hélène posiadała obywatelstwo szwajcarskie i amerykańskie oraz tytuł hrabiny. Mieszkała w Paryżu i Genewie.

Kariera sportowa

De Pourtalès reprezentowała Szwajcarię na Letnich Igrzyskach Olimpijskich 1900, odbywających się w Paryżu. Wraz ze swoim mężem Hermannem i bratankiem Bernardem de Pourtalèsem uczestniczyła w zawodach żeglarskich na jachcie Lérina w konkurencjach dla jednostek od 1 do 2 ton. Szwajcarzy zdobyli złoty medal w pierwszym wyścigu, a trzy dni później srebro w drugim wyścigu. Tym samym Hélène de Pourtalès stała się pierwszą kobietą startującą na igrzyskach olimpijskich oraz pierwszą medalistką olimpijską, dwa miesiące przed Charlotte Cooper, powszechnie uważaną za pierwszą medalistkę. Załoga Lériny brała udział także w klasie open, której nie zdołała ukończyć.

It has been known as the Cisr-i Cedid, or the New Bridge, and was constructed in 1845 by Valide Sultan, the mother of Sultan Abd-ul-Mejid I (1823-1861). Admiral Hasan Ahmet Paşa renovated the bridge, putting it back into service in 1863 since it had been damanged in short span of time. At the end of 19th century, Aziziye Karakolu (Police Station) adorned it with eclectic accents built in the fore part of the bridge in the Galata district in order to increase pedestrian traffic and to quell the emerging (rising) discontent of the public.
After 37 years of service, a heavy bridge rolling with waterpower was constructed on the site. It was opened on the third aniversary of Sultan Mehmet V's ascention to the throne in 1912.
The first time electric cars crossed this bridge between Eminönü and Karaköy was in January of 1914. The construction of a new bridge in the Golden Horn began in 1987. The Historical Galata Bridge was burnt for an unknown reason and a large fired damaged half of the bridge before the construction of the new bridge was completed in May 1992. After the fire, construction of the new bridge was accelerated, and it was opened on the site of the old bridge in June 1992.
The pieces of the old bridge, which was composed of 11 plaques, were left on the site in the Karaköy district, and the undamaged parts of the structure were carried away and placed on the foot in the Arttürk Bridge located in the Unkapanı district.
The Galata Bridge was being adequately protected against fire. Therefore, smoking was prohibited so as not to be burn the wooden platform of the bridge during day time. Moreover, the bridge has since been closed. It was known that the bridge was servicing pedestrians and carriages for hire, so a customary charge was initiated (müruriye).
The Galata Bridge is not only an architectural beauty, but it is also leaves a poetic image the life of the people of Istanbul.
Leonardo da Vinci, born in the town of Vinci in the region of Florence, was invited to Istanbul during the reign of Sultan Bayezid II in the 16th century to built a bridge linking Eminönü to Karaköy. After Leonardo haddecided to come to Istanbul to built the bridge, he was later dissuaded Istanbul by the administration of the time. It appears from letters in the Topkapı Palace today that there was an action of Leonardo da Vinci on this head. The bridge building project of Leonardo da Vinci on the Golden Horn was implemented in Norway in 2000s. Furthermore, there were plans of another bridge project to be made on this site by Michelangelo.

Daily Calendar for Friday, March 4, 2022
How can I make my nearly pot-bound clivia bloom? It's about 12 years old and has never flowered.
If the plant hasn't bloomed in 12 years, it may be impossible to get it to do so, but we'd certainly try. Keep the plant cool; it likes temperatures around 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Water it sparingly, and don't worry about fertilizer. Clivias like to be root-bound, so repot it only when absolutely necessary. Should you get the plant to flower (which will occur toward the beginning of summer), place it outside, where it can enjoy the sunshine and heat (water it well), then bring it back inside in the fall and follow the low-water, cool-temperature routine. If you'd like to experiment, try dividing the plant. We don't know if this will help it flower, but it's worth a shot.
If you forget to wash the spider (frying pan), it's a sure sign of company coming.
Sharpening your garden tools can make a difference in how well they work. Sharpen a shovel by filing the inside edge — the one that holds the soil — in the direction that's away from the handle. Then turn it over and lightly file the burr off the back.
Perigean Tide
A monthly tide of increased range that occurs when the Moon is at perigee (closest to Earth).
Why is the inside of everything so mysterious?
Because we cannot make it out.

Thank you do much to everyone who took part, a brilliant turnout and some fantastic racing. After a slightly shonky start, F1 2016 is now such a solid online racing game, which helped to make this so much fun. Snacks will be in the post soon!
Thanks again for all taking part and a big congratulations to Avengerrr for taking the spoils! It was close going into the final round, where either Avengerrr or Manorhowze could have taken the top step and likewise for third, Ro6afc11 and THLNetwork both had a chance. It was close throughout and the results don't tell the full story of just how competitive this little tournament was.
Here's to Assetto Corsa Private Lobbies, F1 2017, DiRT 4, MXGP 3, Project CARS 2 and Gran Turismo Sport in 2017, and GTR3 in 2018. See you online.
