Description

      Envoie un message MIDI note on et note off ayant même numéro de canal,
      de note et velocité.

Syntaxe

noteondur2 ichn, inum, ivel, idur

Initialisation

      ichn -- numéro de canal MIDI (1-16)

      inum -- numéro de note (0-127)

      ivel -- vélocité (0-127)

      idur -- durée de la note en secondes.

Exécution

      noteondur2 (note on au taux-i avec durée) envoie un
      message MIDI note on et note off ayant même numéro de canal, de note et
      velocité. Le message note off est envoyé idur
      secondes après l'activation de noteondur2.

      noteondur diffère de noteondur2
      en ce que noteondur tronque la durée de la note lorsque
      l'instrument courant est désactivé par la partition ou par le jeu en ,
      tandis que noteondur2 allonge le temps d'exécution de
      l'instrument courant jusqu'à ce que idur secondes se
      soient écoulées. Dans le jeu en , il est suggéré d'utiliser
      noteondur aussi pour des durées indéfinies, en donnant
      une grande valeur à idur.

      Il peut y avoir n'importe quel nombre d'opcodes noteondur2
      dans le même instrument de Csound, ce qui permet de jouer des accords
      avec un seul instrument.

Exemples

Bagherkazemi, M., Mowlaie, B. Universal Grammar and Chaos/Complexity Theory: Where Do They Meet And Where Do They Cross?. Journal of Language and Translation, 2015; 5(1): 85-94.
The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for granted. To compound the problem, even those C/CT theorists who adhere to UG conceptualize it differently from Chomsky to meet the conditions set forth in C/CT, and dismiss the idea of studying language acquisition without leaving room for inves-tigating language use. Secondly, it is argued that unlike Chomsky's postulation of UG and generative grammar as mutational, C/CT theorists conceive of them as evolutionary phenom-ena. Thirdly, it is discussed that while advocates of UG, as a biologically predetermined state of the mind, believe that it has no analogue in other systems, C/CT proponents postulate their all-embracing theory as underlying all kinds of complex nonlinear systems operating in the world, of which language is only a case.

'Stranger Things' Season 3 Is the Darkest Chapter Yet Promises Producer
Stranger Things Season 3 Is the Darkest Chapter Yet Promises Producer
Don't expect Stranger Things to be a fun summer fling as things are going to turn quite deadly in the next set of episodes.
Josh Millican
Producer Shawn Levy says Stranger Things Season 3 will be the series' darkest chapter yet: "It would be a mistake for anyone to think that season 3 is the summer of fun and lightness because it's a whole lot more than that."
Stranger Things Season 2 ended on a series of uplifting high notes. Sure, that devious "Mind Flayer" is still lurking ominously in The Upside Down, but the interdimensional rift has been sealed and Will Buyers can finally live a normal life. Not only is Eleven home safe, she's free from the nebulous government organization that tortured her, has a new father-figure in Sherriff Hopper, and can explore her budding romance with Mike. And while Steve and Dustin might be unlucky in love, they both have amazing hair-and that's important in the 1980s. Indeed, the future looks bright for everyone as Stranger Things prepares for a 3rd season, slated to premiere on Netflix in the summer of 2019, but looks can be deceiving.
RELATED: Stranger Things Creators and Netflix Are Being Sued for Stealing Ideas Yet Again
The truth is, the upcoming season of Stranger Things will be the series' darkest chapter yet. Here's what producer Shawn Levy told The Playlist in a recent interview:
"So, season 3 has a really healthy dose of poppy, bright levity and cultural fun. But I can only promise you that season 3 eventually goes places that are darker, and unquestionably more action-packed, than we've ever gone before. It would be a mistake for anyone to think that season 3 is the summer of fun and lightness because it's a whole lot more than that."
Season 3 will take place in the summer of 1985, so in addition to The Starcourt Mall that featured prominently in the first teaser, expect references to Ronald Regan's second term in office, the rise of Mikhail Gorbachev, New Coke, and We Are the World. It'll have been over a year since the last time we saw Eleven and the boys, but Levy recently told The Hollywood Reporter what fans can expect in terms of a time-jump and ongoing character relationships:
"Mike and Eleven are going strong, so that's a relationship that continues, and same with Mad Max and Lucas. But again, they're like 13- or 14-year-old kids, so what does romance mean at that stage of life? It can never be simple and stable relationships and there's fun to that instability."
Newcomers for Season 3 include: Maya Thurman-Hawke (daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke) whose character Variety described as "an 'alternative girl' bored with her mundane day job"; Francesca Reale will be playing Heather, a popular lifeguard at the Hawkins' community swimming pool; Cary Elwes will play the "handsome, slick, and sleazy" politician Mayor Kline and Jake Busey is an unhinged reporter named Bruce. Season 3 will also see an elevated role for Priah Ferguson, who was a consummate scene-stealer as Lucas's sister Erica in Season 2. Many fans are hoping series masterminds Matt and Ross Duffer will find a way to bring fan-favorite Barb back, but don't hold your breath!

At the beginning of the end of this year, I wanted to share the Epilogue to my memoir, Riding Through It. I wrote it so that others could learn from my mistakes. I hope that they do.
In the third part of my life, the best part, I found a strength I didn't know I had. I discovered a self-respect that emerged when I released my past and started living in the present without fear. Mark, husband for 40 years, helped me to do that, but I realize now that when he came into my life I had already started taking control and so I was able to let him into my life. I'm no longer that little fat girl who grew up to have an obsession about her body. It took persistence and time, and even though I still have bumps, I keep riding through them.
A few years ago I took up riding again. It was something I had loved in my childhood, but it was also a big challenge. Training with a horse takes a lot of time, discipline and hard work. You learn to keep trying even when you're having a bad day, and you learn to hang on tight with your legs when the horse is giving you trouble. And, if you fall off, the old saying is true. You have to get right back on again.

L'ORÉAL ACQUIRES KIEHL'S Deal Expands L'Oréal's Role In Prestige Market
Share on Googleplus
L'ORÉAL S.A., the world's leading beauty company, and Kiehl's Since 1851, Inc., today announced that they had signed an agreement whereby Cosmair, Inc., L'ORÉAL's wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, would acquire Kiehl's. For nearly 150 years, Kiehl's has been a distinctive, family-owned beauty company, known in the U.S. for quality, personal service and technical excellence.
Founded in 1851 as an apothecary business in New York City, Kiehl's has established a unique reputation in the prestige cosmetics market. Today, the Kiehl's legacy is carried on by Jami Morse Heidegger, whose grandfather purchased the business from its founder in 1921, and by her husband Klaus Heidegger. In addition to its store on Third Avenue and 13th Street that is virtually a New York City landmark, Kiehl's products are sold through selective distribution channels including Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Barney's. Kiehl's also has limited distribution in international markets in the United Kingdom, France and Asia.
"L'ORÉAL is the perfect vehicle for accomplishing Kiehl's goals," said Jami Morse Heidegger. "After years of growth, Kiehl's is ready for another phase of expansion. L'ORÉAL's commitment to quality and excellence reflects our own philosophy. This partnership will allow us to retain the core values and spirit upon which Kiehl's was built while utilizing L'ORÉAL's extraordinary technology and resources to improve upon and expand our own product line. I am excited to work together with the L'ORÉAL team to help Kiehl's realize this vision."
"We have enormous admiration for the Heideggers' accomplishments," said Guy Peyrelongue, president and CEO of Cosmair. "Both L'ORÉAL and Kiehl's have a solid, unwavering tradition of quality and attention to the needs of its customers."
According to Gilles Weil, vice president of the L'ORÉAL Luxury Products Division, "We are very happy to welcome Kiehl's within our Luxury Products Division as the brand has an original and different approach to this market. Kiehl's is an ideal complement to our luxury brands. The company has exceptional potential for development in the U.S. and worldwide."
By harnessing the power of relationship marketing and sampling, Kiehl's has created a deeply loyal following for its prestige hair and skincare products. This business model and the leadership of the Heideggers have combined to produce a thriving company with a current year sales estimate of $40 million.
Jami Morse Heidegger and Klaus Heidegger will remain co-presidents of the company. Kiehl's will be a separate Cosmair division following the mission and strategy of its founders. This new division will report to Philip Shearer, president of Cosmair's Luxury Products Division.
The completion of the acquisition is subject to the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.
L'ORÉAL S.A., based in Paris, is the world's largest beauty company, with 1999 consolidated sales of Euro 10.7 billion. Operating in more than 150 countries and employing more than 42,000 people, L'Oréal Group companies manufacture and market such well known brands as L'Oréal, Lancôme, Maybelline, Laboratoires Garnier, Redken 5th Ave, Soft Sheen, Ralph Lauren Fragrances, Giorgio Armani Parfums, Biotherm and Helena Rubinstein.
Cosmair, Inc. is headquartered in New York City and manages U.S. research, administration, manufacturing and distribution facilities in New Jersey, Kentucky, Arkansas, Illinois and Colorado, as well as in the Caribbean.

Mount St. Mary's Seminary
PROJECT SCOPE | Creative Direction | Design & Layout
THE STORYThere's a whole lot of history and reverence in the Mount St. Mary's Seminary. Founded in 1808 by French immigrant priest Father John Dubois, it is a very special, storied place. Located on the campus of Mount St. Mary's University, The Mount, as it's lovingly referred to, is the second oldest catholic university in America. The University's Communications Office and the Seminary's newly appointed Monsignor wanted a modern, clean, and highly visual viewbook to showcase the Seminary's magnificence and modernity. In other words, it was time to up their communications game while preserving the institution's hallowed and priestly nature.
THE SOLUTIONThe Mount turned to Lisa Gorham Creative to create something totally new and refreshing. A 24-page viewbook was designed to deliver the Seminary's vision and mission, and maybe more importantly, its beauty. Past viewbooks were crammed with too much copy and too few showstopping images. White space was almost nonexistent. This time around, it was all about inspiring prospects to say, "I want to go there!" Working closely with the University's commissioned photographer, I provided art direction and developed detailed mood boards to guide the overall look and feel. From architecture and classrooms to grounds and seminarian students, we used photography to tell the Seminary's stunning story and showcased it all in a fresh, refined layout. When a Monsignor responds to the final product as "so cool," you know you've done something right.

Florida mom uses can of soup to scare off carjacker, police say
Frank Fernandez and Patricio G. Balona, Daytona Beach News-Journal
A mother wielded a can of soup to frighten off a carjacker Tuesday who tried to take her SUV with her 2-year-old son still inside after the suspect crashed his stolen car outside a neighborhood convenience store.
The suspect and another man were inside a stolen convertible Mercedes-Benz when it crashed head-on shortly after noon with a large delivery truck at the corner of Center Avenue and Sixth Street.
The car thief, who was driving, jumped out of the stolen car and tried to take the SUV. The woman, who declined to identify herself to the media, had stopped at Old Crossroads, 600 Center Ave., as the child's father went inside to buy some cigarettes.
That's when the crash happened and the Mercedes caught fire. The passenger in the stolen car was knocked unconscious as the vehicle caught fire.
The father rushed back into the store to get a fire extinguisher and the mother went to get her son out of her SUV which was parked near the stolen, burning car.
That's when the driver of the stolen car tried to get into her SUV and she grabbed a can of Progresso Homestyle soup and yelled at him to get away.
The man ran off.
Police and a helicopter were looking for the thief but had not yet arrested him. The passenger was taken to the hospital for treatment and would face charges, said Holly Hill police Chief Stephen Aldrich.
The passenger of the stolen car was identified as Antonio Harper, 22, of Jacksonville. Officers found a concealed stolen gun on Harper, Aldrich said.
Harper was already facing charges from a March 14 arrest in which Daytona Beach Police said he had a .380-caliber pistol stolen out of New Smyrna Beach with him. Harper was among the people arrested that day after police checked on a car parked at Joe Harris Park when they spotted one of the men with a marijuana, a report states. Someone had tried to file the number off the gun but it was still readable, police said. In that case Harper was charged with grand theft of a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm and possession of an altered firearm.
Harper was taken to a hospital for treatment and will be charged in connection with the stolen, concealed gun.
The driver of the delivery truck was unharmed and declined treatment. The Mercedes had been stolen out of Daytona Beach Shores on Monday.
Aldrich said police were not chasing the suspects at the time of the crash.

Lupe Fiasco connects with MIT crowd over education at SpringFest 2015
As any college student in the Boston-area can tell you, April marks the arrival of college's spring concert season. It is not uncommon for a concert or two to take place every weekend in April as students utilize old friends and past connections at other schools and travel to nearby campuses after buying their tickets.
This past Saturday on April 25, MIT added Chicago- native, hip hop artist and rapper Lupe Fiasco to the long list of college spring concert performers when the MIT Undergraduate Association Events Committee introduced the headliner for MIT's 2015 SpringFest. Held at the MIT Johnson Ice Rink located right off of the Kresge Oval on central campus, SpringFest this year charged MIT students, faculty and staff only $15 per ticket and other local college students $25, but the Cambridge-based academic institution cost reported $130,000 cost with $75,000 of that total allocated specifically to Fiasco's performance. Though pricey, Fiasco proved this past weekend that his performance was well worth the price tag.
Despite a relatively tame crowd and heavy security at the venue, Fiasco did not hesitate to engage the audience of local college students from the minute he stepped foot onstage. Fiasco walked out casually and comfortably amongst cheers and screams of those in the audience. In between spitting eloquently thought-out lyrics and poetic rhymes that referenced his rough childhood upbringing, broken relationships that have left personal wounds and performing through fame, Fiasco often took several minutes in between songs to personally connect with the audience through extensive eye contact and hand gestures as if engaging in a face-to-face discussion with each and every person there.
From the very beginning of his onstage appearance, Fiasco communicated his gratefulness in being allowed to perform at MIT, a place where he admitted that he felt he was among a group of the nation's smartest individuals.
Of the several sentiments that Fiasco conveyed to the crowd amid his set, Fiasco repeatedly addressed the idea of college. Stating that his one regret in life was not attending college and receiving an advanced degree, Fiasco mentioned that the one school that he always admired from a young age was MIT due to the numerous influential individuals that have been produced from the university, such as Noam Chomsky, who currently teaches in the Linguistics Department. He was kindly received by all, and the gesture reaffirmed Fiasco's humble nature as a performer despite his international success.
While the focus was very much on Fiasco, who danced, jumped and pranced about onstage throughout his entire set, Fiasco was not alone in his performance at SpringFest as he went up on stage accompanied by a DJ who actively spun Fiasco's best-known tracks such as "Battle Scars" live throughout the duration of the show.
To further promote education, Fiasco invigorated the crowd with references to the nerd culture that is obviously prevalent at MIT. Fiasco even went as far as to survey the students in the crowd for their majors in the middle of his set, signaling the stage crew to stop the music briefly so that he could see who was studying math, computer science, mechanical engineering and more. Moments such as these personally connected individuals in the audience. The performer also serenaded the female 'nerds' in the crowd during his rendition of his song "Out Of My Head," which features fellow singer Trey Songz. One female concertgoer was even fortunate enough to be gestured to repeatedly by Fiasco as he pointed and sung directly to her after motioning for her to move closer to the front of the stage.
Fiasco did not seem to notice nor care that only a few hundred people were in attendance. The Grammy award-winning artist demonstrated that he could keep his lyrics flowing perfectly in timed, harmonious rhythm as Fiasco occasionally rapped without a backing track after the music cut out. During his performance of his most successful hit single to date "The Show Goes On" of of his third studio album "Lasers," Fiasco injected an effortless shot of energy that reverberated throughout all concertgoers in the venue as he took his water bottle and splashed water onto those in the crowd before tossing it into the audience. Fiasco's immense stage presence, high entertainment value, personal connection with the crowd and overall humble persona further legitimized him as one of the most respected and talented rappers currently active in the music industry.
The lighting and special effects during SpringFest were expectedly minimal, although the stage towered above concert attendees. Since the venue is typically used as an ice rink during the year, not all concertgoers preferred to stand in front of the stage. Some students opted for a more relaxed experience and chose to sit along the back wall in the arena seats that lined the far side of the rink. Those who decided to go for a more typical concert experience and stand toward the middle and sides of the stage were fortunate enough to not deal with any unruly concertgoers. Though the middle of the crowd was more aggressive than the rest, nothing too crazy or out of hand occurred throughout the duration of the night, allowing concert attendees to feel at ease and really appreciate Fiasco's music without worry or distraction.
Several lucky fans were fortunate enough to meet Fiasco behind the venue after the concert ended relatively early at around 10 p.m. The friendly post-concert interaction with Fiasco made the event all the more personal for the 15 or so people who patiently waited as he took the time to cordially meet everyone and shake hands, sign shirts and albums, take pictures and even hug awaiting fans.
MIT's SpringFest with Fiasco proved to be a feel-good concert. By encouraging academics and making an effort to personally connect with concertgoers and dedicated fans, Fiasco solidified his place as a true performer and gracious artist, showing that the real "Superstar" of the night was truly Fiasco himself.

Fujairah is a very popular and yet quite understated stop for most cruise ships. It is still fairly industrial and uses the port for business and trade.
Fujairah is a very popular and yet quite understated stop for most cruise ships. It is still fairly industrial and uses the port for business and trade; however, travel a little further inland and the city reveals itself to be full of history and wonder.
For instance, the Al Bidyah mosque found in Fujairah is the oldest mosque in the United Arab Emirates. It was built as far back as 1446 and you can only find similar specimens in places like Oman and Qatar. An additional visit to the Fujairah Museum will provide you with all sorts of information on this incredible masterpiece, and its significance in both historical and modern day Islam.
Don't forget to visit the stunning coastline, which has been left largely untouched and is a welcome break from the world's many overcrowded beaches. There is also a little market where you can buy various traditional gifts, foods and other products; despite it being called 'The Friday Market', don't worry if it isn't Friday – you can visit any time of the week.

Q: SQLFunctionTemplate does not apply the order of the query parameters I reduced the problem to this simple template :
//I extend the PostgreSQL dialect because I need a non-standard feature.
public class MyDialect extends PostgreSQL82Dialect {

  public MyDialect() {
    //With PostgreSQL, "date2 - date1" returns the number of days between the 2 given dates.
    registerFunction("date_diff", new SQLFunctionTemplate(StandardBasicTypes.LONG, " ((?2) - (?1)) "));
  }
}

In this request, I noticed that Hibernate does not care about the number after ? in ((?2) - (?1))
Hence, If i use :
Expression<Date> date1 = ...
Expression<Date> date2 = ...
em.getCriteriaBuilder().function("date_diff", Integer.class, date1, date2);

the call will return the result of (date1 - date2) but I had expected (date2 - date1).
Is it a bug or a feature? What is the point of giving a number to the parameters?

A: I think the problem lies with parameter binding. I had a similar issue when trying to register a function for DATE_ADD with SQL Server. Here was my method call:
registerFunction("addminutes", new TestSqlFunctionTemplate(TimeMillisType.INSTANCE, "DATEADD(MINUTE, ?2, ?1)"));

After digging through the source code for TemplateRenderer I found the issue lies with how the SQL string is rendered. The render function is passed a list of the arguments to send, but since the parameters are bound it is sent a List of "?" Strings that indicate the bound parameter. The output for the render function when using a query with bound parameters in my example was:
DATEADD(MINUTE, ?, ?)

Which gives no indication of the order. I'm looking for an alternate solution, but I haven't come across anything as of yet.

These have been available the past couple of years. My sons had the original and the bunnycomb last year, they were delicious. They are dairy free, gluten free and vegan. You should find them easier than ever to find in Ireland this year, they are being stocked in Dunnes Stores, SuperValu, Centra and The Chocolate Warehouse in Dublin. You can also find them online at FreeFrom.ie and various health shops around the country.
Choices have been around for years and the prices are slowly coming down a bit each year as demand grows. They have 3 large variations, Milk Chocolate Easter Egg with Chocolate discs, Milk Chocolate Egg with caramel sweets and a dark chocolate one. They also have smaller (65g) white chocolate eggs with buttons and new to me milk chocolate ones with chocolate Rondellos. I'd love to know what Rondellos are they sound delicious!
This is the largest of the dairy free eggs I've found. It is dark chocolate. It is dairy free, nut free, wheat free and gluten free. It is 195g and contains a hollow egg and a large bar. They have it in Tesco at the moment.
These are dairy, gluten and nut free. There is also a no added sugar alternative to the milk egg. They also do a pack of mini half chocolate eggs which would be great for a treasure hunt. These are also available in the no added sugar variety. These are available in various health stores throughout Ireland and they are widely available in the UK.
I'm not sure if the eggs will look the same as these ones (last year's) below, but M&S will have a dairy free egg available from next weekend.
These are organic, dairy free and made with rice powder.
These bunnies look delicious and can be found in Tesco and Dunnes Stores. They are may contain milk though.
Sainsbury's website have a most impressive Free From Easter Section, including their own Free from Milk Chocolate dairy free egg and white chocolate dairy free egg. As far as I know these are made by Choices so if you've tasted the Choices ones you'll know what to expect. They also have Moo Free, Choices and their own free from hot cross buns on offer. If you're lucky enough to be in the UK or Northern Ireland and can get to a Sainsbury's do have a look.
Thanks to Karen McCain for sending me these photos. These are Asda's own brand Easter Eggs and are Free From dairy, wheat and gluten. One comes with chocolate orange discs and the other with chocolate buttons.
I've come across a range of Easter jellies in Tesco again this year. I am not sure yet where else these are available but I will update as soon as I know.
I found these in Aldi. Marshmallows with bunny and chick shapes.
Let me know your dairy free Easter finds. I will continue to update this post with new things as I find them.
Thanks for this post. I want to buy some easter eggs for my niece (and also for myself) and I didn't know where to go.
You're welcome, hope it is a help! Haven't found much locally myself yet,but there's time yet. Happy Easter!
Just found this site. Really useful especially with Easter on the way, and a three year old to try to manage.

IGP: Four militants nabbed in anti-terror raids, including Rohingya who threatened to assassinate Bangladesh PM

KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 — Bukit Aman Special Branch's Counter-Terrorism (E8) division rounded up four terror suspects belonging to different extremist group, including a Rohingya man who had threatened to assassinate Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Abdul Hamid Bador in a statement today said the Rohingya man, 41, was picked up in Sungai Petani, Kedah on June 24.
"The suspect, who worked at a construction site in Sungai Petani, is a supporter of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA).
"He was arrested for uploading a video in which he threatened to assassinate Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on his social media account.
"The suspect was detained three times previously for entering Malaysia illegally in 1997, for using fake travel documents in 2012 and for being involved in human smuggling activities in 2015," Abdul Hamid said.
The E8 division also arrested three other suspects following a crackdown on terror suspects from June 14 to July 13.
On June 14, in Klang, Selangor, a 54-year-old Filipino electrician was detained for being involved with the notorious Abu Sayyaf terrorist group.
"Initial investigations suggest the suspect was involved in several kidnap for ransom cases in Sabah waters.
"The Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom) had informed the police that the suspect is on their wanted list," Abdul Hamid said.
The third suspect, an Indian national, was arrested in Ampang on June 21, after police received information that the suspect is a facilitator to Sikh militant group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI).
Abdul Hamid said the 24-year-old suspect entered Malaysia in November 2018 and have wired RM7,600 to finance the terror groups activities in South-east Asia.
"The fourth suspect, also a Rohingya man, was picked up on July 3 in Alor Setar, Kedah.
"The suspect, who works as a madrasah teacher in Bukit Pinang, was detained for supporting ARSA," Abdul Hamid said.
Abdul Hamid said the detainees are suspected of committing a terrorism offence under the Penal Code (Act 574) and being investigated under the Security Offences (Special Measures) 2012 (Act 747).

The Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, the place of the National Assembly of Hungary is a part of the World Heritage. It is located on the Pest side, on the bank of the river Danube. The Parliament was built in Gothic Revival style and is one of the highest buildings in the city. If you are in Hungary, you mustn't miss this beautiful, richly-decorated building!
The Fishermen's Bastion is built on the wall of the Buda Castle. Its seven towers symbolize the seven leaders of the seven founder Hungarian tribes. Between the towers there are marblecstairs. In the inner courtyard is the statue of the first Hungarian king, Stephen I. standing and at its foot the statues of János Hunyadi and Saint George.
The Buda Castle has been part of UNESCO World Heritage since 1987 . The Royal Palace of Buda is located on the top of the Castle Hill, in the Buda Castle district, which is well known for its beautiful baroque architecture. The Royal Palace was constantly under construction from the 13th century and was the seat of many kings in the last 700 years of the Hungarian history. Today, this amazing building is home to some of the most famous Hungarian museums, like the Hungarian National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum. The miraculous Buda Castle itself, the museums, the old, fascinating houses in the little streets of the Castle Hill and the beautiful panoramic view on the Pest side and the Danube, make this place for tourists and hikers an unforgettable experience.
Heroes' Square is one of the largest squares in Hungary. In the middle of the square is the Millennium Memorial, which commemorates the 7 leaders of the Hungarian tribes, who conquered the territory of Hungary at the end of the 9th century. There are also other statues to see with other important Hungarian historical personalities. Heroes' Square (in Hungarian: 'Hősök tere') is easily accessible by public transportation, because it is a station of the subway M1.
The Vörösmarty Square is a nice, small square in the heart of Budapest, located at the end of Váci Street. It is named after the famous Hungarian poet, Mihály Vörösmarty, whose statue is in the middle of the square. Behind the statue there is a fountain with lions and a small park. The luxury Gerbeaud café , with its famous cakes ( cake "Gerbeaud"), tasty meals in the restaurant and all kinds of quality beers in their beerhouse is located on the Vörömarty square. The popular Budapest Christmas Market will be organi zed every year on this square, beginning from November till New Years' Eve. The guests can buy on this event high-quality folk arts and handicrafts and they can try the traditional Hungarian foods and drinks, like grilled sausages, fried dough, mouthwatering honey cakes and the hot wine. The guests are entertained during the whole day by different shows, traditional choirs.
The luxury Gerbeaud Café is located on the Vörösmarty square, in the centre of Budapest, which is a station of the subway 1. It is one of the most famous traditional confectioneries in Europe. It is already a pleasure to sit in the beautiful renovated, old building and the cakes (Gerbeaud cake) will provide you a real gastronomic experience. Gerbeaud has also a restaurant with the best Hungarian and international meals and a beer house with beers of the highest quality from all over the world. Hauer is a classic confectionery in a nice building, with tasty cakes and ice creams. It is a perfect place for events and excursions with its meeting rooms . Ruszwurm Confectionery is located in the beautiful, historical Buda Castle Hill. It is a very good choice if you would like to try any traditional Hungarian or international flavors of sweets, ice cream or coffee.
Váci Street, located in the city centre, is one of the most bustling streets in Budapest. It is a very popular shopping street, with boutiques, offering a wide range of worldwide famous brands and a lot of fine dining opportunities.
Margaret Island is a very popular place for trips in Budapest. If you would like to spend your free-time in the open air, you can go there to rent a bike, a pedal-car or just to walk on the promenades of the island or just to sit on a bench on the bank of the Danube. It is located between two bridges, the Margaret bridge and the Árpád bridge, so it is easily accessible from all parts of Budapest by public transportation; which is recommended, because car traffic is not allowed in the area of the island.

Carol Anker Duhem
Memorial Meeting
Caroline Anker Duhem, a longtime member of Strawberry Creek Meeting, died on May 31st, 2012. She became a member of our Meeting in 1991. She served in a pivotal role in the First Day school program and the Oversight committee. For many years she was the heart and soul of the Loaves and Fishes committee. Caroline was a dear and constant presence. She brought love and tenderness to our children in their First Day School activities.
Caroline was born in Albany, New York, May 16, 1942. She was the oldest of four children. She grew up in a country farmhouse, north of Albany, where her parents had flower and vegetable gardens along with a goat, chickens, cats and dogs.
She began her education in a three-room schoolhouse a short walk from home. She played in the woods and listened to stories on the radio with her siblings. The family spent summer vacations in the Adirondack Mountains, near Lake George, out in nature, camping, boating, swimming and hiking.
At age 21, with a year left in college, she married Hal Noakes, the son of her mother's best friend Roama. A year later, Caroline received her Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from Russell Sage College. After Hal graduated from college, the young couple moved west to Utah. Caroline found work at the Medical Center on campus. When Caroline and Hal's marriage ended, she moved farther west to San Francisco. After a short teaching job, she found work as a microbiologist at UCSF.
Caroline was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 39 years old. She had already met Roger Duhem at a singles gathering, and he would prove to be her greatest support during surgery and chemotherapy. Doctors told her she couldn't have any children because it might cause her cancer to return. Roger nursed her back to health and a full recovery. Caroline and Roger were married under the care of the San Francisco Meeting in 1981.
They bought a home in El Cerrito and Caroline started a tradition of Christmas Day brunch at her house, inviting her extended family and friends. She would present delicious foods including bagels, lox & cream cheese, to honor her friends' other traditions.
Caroline was a wonderful Aunt and also greatly enjoyed interactions with friends' children. As an adult she continued to take summer vacations at Lake George and to visit with her mother, brothers and nephews.
Caroline loved education and went back to school to become a nurse while working computer programming jobs. She became an RN at age 55 and enjoyed the requirement to continue taking courses every year to keep her license current. She did foot care at the El Cerrito Senior Center and got to listen to many life stories while she worked.
She had a passion for driving. At age 61 she bought a new yellow standard shift Mini Cooper. She loved to drive up to the wine country with a friend or visiting family members when they were in town. When her mother died in 2004, Caroline used the money from the sale of her mother's house to go back to school again. This time, she got a special certificate for teaching math, allowing her to tutor children, both privately and at elementary schools; also working with young adults who were trying to get their G.E.D.
After almost 30 years of being cancer free, Caroline was diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer in August, 2010. It was then that she decided to take lessons on a Dulcimer which had been made for her in the 1960s. Playing the dulcimer brought her joy. She also loved to read and she collected many books, including treasured children's stories and young adult literature.
Strawberry Creek Meeting held a memorial meeting for her on July 28, 2012.
Strawberry Friends will remember Caroline with appreciation for her warmth and for the many ways she served our Meeting community with tender care, especially our children.

(1997) Directed by Guillermo del Toro; Written by Guillermo del Toro and Matthew Robbins; Based on the short story, "Mimic," by Donald A. Wollheim; Starring: Mira Sorvino, Jeremy Northam, Alexander Goodwin, Giancarlo Giannini, Charles S. Dutton and Josh Brolin; Available on Blu-ray and DVD
"There was something in this movie that forced me, like the Mimics, to evolve into something different. It was perhaps not quite human, if you look at my body proportions, but certainly made me survive, and made me find my own voice and my own personality, visually…" – Guillermo del Toro (from Director's Cut Blu-ray commentary)
If there's one cohesive theme throughout Bug Month, it's that our days as the Earth's dominant species might be numbered. Many of us view insects as inferior lifeforms, unworthy of our attention. It could only take a little push to upset the balance, tipping the scales in their favor. Mimic suggests that this day of reckoning, thanks to our hubris, could be much closer than we think.
Guillermo del Toro's second feature film introduced the then 33-year-old writer/director to the rewards and pitfalls of Hollywood filmmaking. While working with Miramax* afforded him the comparatively vast resources of a larger production (with a $30 million budget, compared to around $2 million for his debut feature, Cronos), it created a great deal of friction for the filmmaker and his vision. The director constantly clashed with an endless parade of producers, including Bob and Harvey Weinstein,** resulting in myriad of arguments over virtually every aspect of the production. As a result, the theatrical cut that was released in theaters represented a compromised, watered-down version of del Toro's original concept.*** For the purposes of this review, I took a look at the so-called "Director's Cut,"**** which is probably the closest we'll ever get to what del Toro originally intended.
* Note: Above all, the most disturbing issue behind the scenes was Ms. Sorvino's ongoing harassment by Miramax head, Harvey Weinstein.
** Note II: In a 2017 interview, del Toro commented, "My first American experience was almost my last because it was with the Weinsteins and Miramax. I have got to tell you, two horrible things happened in the late nineties, my father was kidnapped and I worked with the Weinsteins. I know which one was worse… the kidnapping made more sense; I knew what they wanted." (excerpted from IndieWire article by Zack Sharf)
*** Fun Fact #1: At the insistence of Miramax, the original script from del Toro and Matthew Robbins was subjected to numerous re-writes by some of Hollywood's most prominent figures, including John Sayles, Steven Soderburgh, and Matthew Greenberg.
**** Fun Fact #2: According to del Toro, much of the second-unit work (shot by Robert Rodriguez, among others), which was utilized in the theatrical cut, was removed for the "Director's Cut."
The opening scene establishes that New York City is besieged by Strickler's disease (not to be confused with Stickler syndrome), a deadly epidemic that strikes children.* Dr. Susan Tyler (Mira Sorvino), a brilliant young entomologist, develops a new species of insect,** the "Judas Breed" (incorporating some DNA from cockroaches, termites and mantids), to combat the roaches that carry the contagion. Initial results are promising, but in the researcher's zeal to solve one problem, she creates a potentially larger one. Dr. Tyler discovers that the new species, left to its own devices in the secluded lower recesses of the New York subway system, is thriving. The bugs were genetically engineered to be sterile, but to borrow a phrase from a certain popular dinosaur movie, "Life, uh…finds a way." If left unchecked, this new life form could threaten the population of New York City and beyond.
* Fun Fact #3: The stylized opening scene (excised from the theatrical cut) became another bone of contention when the producers asserted the set didn't resemble a real-life hospital.
** Fun Fact #4: According to del Toro, he originally wanted the Mimics to be based on the White Oak Borer Beetle, but Miramax executives (apparently associating NYC with another common insect) insisted that cockroaches should be the star of the show.
Sorvino is likeable in her lead, relaxed performance as intrepid researcher Dr. Tyler. Not quite as convincing is Jeremy Northam as her husband (and CDC official), Dr. Peter Mann, the film's nominal hero. It's not terribly surprising that his performance never quite gels, considering Northam wasn't del Toro's first choice to play the character (del Toro wanted an African American actor to play Dr. Mann, but the shortsighted producers objected to the inclusion of an interracial couple). Possibly because of the script revisions and cuts, some other characters are reduced to bit roles: F. Murray Abraham as Dr. Tyler's mentor, Dr. Gates, and Josh Brolin as an unlucky police detective.
The most intriguing supporting character is Chuy (Alexander Goodwin), a young neurodivergent boy with uncanny powers of observation. Chuy possesses an innate talent for determining shoe size on sight and, most importantly, imitating the clicking sounds of the human-sized insects. Rather than feeling revulsion, he seems entranced by the Mimics' odd appearance, referring to one of them as "Mr. Funny Shoes." Unlike everyone else who has encountered them, he doesn't display fear, which proves to be his protection. He forms a special connection with the creatures through communication, clicking spoons to mimic the Mimics.
A common theme in del Toro's films is how he shines the spotlight on marginalized people. In Mimic, he illustrates how individuals can appear to be little more than insects to the upwardly mobile. Manny (Giancarlo Giannini),* runs a humble shoe shine business in a bustling subway station. His grandson Chuy, who possesses unique patterns of cognition and interpreting the world, seemingly exists in a world of his own. The film draws further parallels to our hierarchical society, with a group of sweat shop workers who fall prey to the Mimics. The people behind the garment manufacturer are no less predatory or unfeeling than the Mimics (one shot lingers on a label that reads "Proudly Made in the USA," reminding us the means don't necessarily justify the end). One of del Toro's many talents is featuring characters you might initially write off, infusing them with nuances that make them rise above plot devices. On the surface, beat cop Leonard (Charles S. Dutton) is just another cog feeding into a bureaucracy, but he proves to be much more, versed in the rich, forgotten history of the subway system, and a snarky sense of humor (he also delivers the film's best line).
* Fun Fact #5: Before Giannini was cast in the role of Manny, the studio considered other actors, including Ian Holm, Max von Sydow, and André Gregory. The director's initial choice was Federico Luppi (ultimately rejected because his English was a bit shaky), who appeared in del Toro's previous film, Cronos (1993), and subsequent production, The Devil's Backbone (2001).
The distinctive look of the title creatures is the main attraction. Aiming for something that appeared real, rather than fanciful, del Toro insisted on a "National Geographic" approach, eschewing features that didn't already exist in the insect world.* Designed by TyRuben Ellingson and refined by effects virtuoso Rob Bottin, the Mimics were brought to life through puppetry effects by Rick Lazzarini.** The creature design accounted for factors that limited the size of insects and other arthropods, incorporating lungs and a modified exoskeleton more suited to a much larger organism. The icing on the creepy cake is a bipedal creature that presents a crude, albeit effective approximation of our appearance. The result is at once mesmerizing and unnerving.
* Fun Fact #6: In another battle (which del Toro thankfully won), the producers were perturbed that the Mimics looked too much like bugs, as opposed to some alien life form. They suggested adding teeth, gums and hair – none of which are present in insect anatomy.
** Fun Fact #7: Among Lazzarini's memorable prior contributions were the Budweiser frogs, which appeared in a series of popular commercials in the '90s.
As with all of his films, del Toro incorporates layers of substance into his style. Catholic iconography figures prominently throughout, signifying the intersection of the spiritual and concrete (science-minded) worlds. The use of color also presents a stark contrast, with vivid golds and blues, representing the juxtaposition of the human and insect realms. In his commentary, del Toro described another theme throughout the film, as a contrast between fecundity (the Mimics) and infertility (Dr. Tyler's personal struggles to conceive a child).
Guillermo del Toro referred to his movie as an "imperfect child," an apt description for the end product of too many chefs meddling with the recipe. In his "Director's Cut" commentary, he takes a philosophical (and likely diplomatic) outlook to his ordeal grappling with the multiple producers. While his vision was inevitably compromised, the painful process of give and take helped map a future blueprint for his filmmaking methodology. Mimic is a film full of great ideas, memorable imagery, creatures that evoke chills, and a top-notch Marco Beltrami score. It suffers from a few too many loose ends, undeveloped characters, and an ending that's far too pat (the original, un-filmed, ending envisioned a much darker conclusion which seemed more in line with del Toro's sensibilities). Even if Mimic falls a bit short at times, it's well worth a look (especially the Director's Cut), to spot the elements del Toro would continue to refine and develop, to great effect, in his subsequent films.

Good review, Barry! 👍
I didn't know who the director was when I first saw mimic back in the day. Now I need to take a second look!
Oh, in the mention of Budweiser frogs in your review was a surprising moment! Lol
Barry P. April 28, 2021 at 11:03 AM
Thanks, John! It's well worth a 2nd look (especially the Director's Cut, if you can find it). I'm glad that after all this time, my reviews can still surprise! ;)
