What is Sean Lowe's Net Worth?
Sean Lowe is an American television personality who has a net worth of $500 thousand. He is best known for his role on the seventeenth season of the hit reality series The Bachelor. He earned his role as The Bachelor by becoming a favorite during his time on the eighth season of The Bachelorette with Emily Maynard, where he placed third.
After the Bachelor
Sean Lowe was born in Arlington, Texas on November 16, 1983. He and his older sister were raised by devout Christians Jay and Sherry Lowe.
Raised in Irving, Texas, Lowe started playing football at a very young age. He graduated from Lamar High School, where he was active in the Fellowship Christian Athletes group. Sean attended Texas A&M for one semester. Lowe then transferred to Kansas State University where he received a football scholarship and took part in a 2003 Big 12 Championship Game – in fact, earning a full scholarship to college through football is what he considers his greatest achievement. Lowe graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Science. In addition to playing football, Lowe teamed up with Andrew Shull, who later became an NFL player, and Shull eventually married Lowe's sister.
In 2012, Sean found himself starring on the popular reality show "The Bachelorette." He became a third-place finalist on Emily Maynard's season of the show. He went on two one-on-one dates with Emily, and one group date. Sean confessed to Maynard that he was falling in love with her during the show's ninth episode. Despite being a front runner throughout the competition, Lowe was eliminated after Emily offered him an overnight date card that he declined as it did not line up with his beliefs.
As Lowe was a fan favorite in Emily's season of the show, he was chosen to be the Bachelor for the following season.
In 2013, Sean began starring as the Bachelor on the show's 17th season. He had a total of 26 women to choose from, instead of the standard 25. Sean eliminated Desiree Hartsock in episode eight, who went on to be the new Bachelorette the following season. During the season finale that premiered on March 11, 2013, Sean proposed to graphic designer Catherine Giudici. The two were married on January 26, 2014, in a live ceremony at the Four Seasons Resort Biltmore in Santa Barbara, which was officiated by Sean's father Jay and was broadcast on television.
Following The Bachelor, Lowe was a contestant on the ABC reality show Dancing with the Stars; his partner was season 14 champion Peta Murgatroyd. Lowe became the 12th and final celebrity to fill in the cast. He was eventually eliminated from the show in season 8, coming in sixth place overall. In 2015, Lowe returned to reality television by appearing on Celebrity Wife Swap, where he traded wives with fellow Bachelor, Jason Mesnick. Lowe and his wife Catherine also appeared on the second episode in the 2015 season of "Celebrity Family Feud." They won their game and with it $25,000 for their chosen charity, Free the Children.
Sean and Catherine also appeared on the reality TV program "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars 4" as they worked through their marital issues. The Lowes also competed on the gameshow "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?: Bachelor Fan Favorites" on November 2, 2015. Later, Lowe was cast in "Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition 3," competing on Rachael Ray's team and finishing in fourth place.
Catherine and Sean announced in December 2015 that they were expecting their first child. They welcomed their song Samuel Thomas Lowe on July 2, 2016. They announced that they were expecting their second child in November 2017; Isaiah Hendrix Lowe was born on May 18, 2018. Sean and Catherine welcomed their third child, daughter Mia Meija Lowe, on December 23, 2019.
Lowe now works in the insurance industry and is also known for being extremely strong in his (religious) faith. When asked to categorize which denomination his religion falls under, he responded "I'm a Christian. And that's how I categorize myself, and you know, that's obviously a huge part of my life as most people know, and that's what's most important to me. He is actively involved in a movement called "I Am Second" and frequently posts videos and interviews about the movement. He released his first memoir in 2015 titled "For the Right Reasons: America's Favorite Bachelor on Faith, Love, Marriage, and Why Nice Guys Finish First."

Q: Estimate how coefficient of variation changes as a function of $x$ without replication Suppose I have data points of the form (x,y) and I know that CV should be constant across all x values. (i.e. heteroskedastic data). That being said, how can I compute the estimated CV if I don't have multiple y values for each x?
Typically, CV is computed on discrete data (ex. repeatedly measuring y values for some given x). But in this case, not all x values have multiple y values. Note that constant variance can be assumed throughout the domain of x.
If anyone could direct me to literature that handles scenarios as this, that would be great.

A: You might fit a robust line (or one of some form that's otherwise hetero-consistent) and then model the squared residuals against $x$ in order to model the variance. Those squared residuals could then be used use that to update weights.
(another way to get starting values would be to consider a transformation to approximately constant variance)
Another approach, possibly simpler, would be to use glms (say a gaussian family with a $\mu^2$ variance function).
Edit: yet another approach: Divide through by $\sqrt{x}$ - let $y^* = y/\sqrt{x}$, and $x^* = x/\sqrt{x}$ (equivalently, $x^* = \sqrt{x}$) and the constant predictor become $x_0^* = 1/\sqrt{x}$. Regress $y^*$ on $x_0^*$ and $x^*$ with no intercept (because $x_0$ represents it). (:end edit)
Finally, one could write the weighted least squares criterion as a function of the mean parameters which also appear in the variance function and calculate the parameters as the solution to a more general optimization problem.
Some possible references for what you were suggesting:
1) The basic iterative (re-)weighted least squares algorithm (IWLS or IRLS), used to fit all manner of things from nonlinear regression to GLMs. It applies to your situation as a special case. If you don't iterate to convergence, you just refer to it as a two-step estimator (estimate model, get  residuals, estimate variance, re-estimate model)
2) You might be able to use the approach in White hetero-consistent estimation (which has a kind of connection to (3) below as an argument for what you want to do.
3)
Here's an approach relating to estimating the variance function, using a method I've seen many times but only today spotted a real reference for:
The idea is you fit some model and take logs of squared residuals (since squared residuals will approximate the variance) and estimate a function to those. These will let you back out relative variances* and hence relative weights (by inverting relative variances) for the original regression.
This might count as sufficient for your case, which is a special case of this.
Wasserman, Larry (2006). All of Nonparametric Statistics. Berlin: Springer-
Verlag. (see p87-88)
*(though if I recall correctly, I think in the linear case Geoff Eagleson established that this is biased for the intercept term so doesn't give a good idea of absolute variances.)

Another possibility, though I don't have it to hand to double check, is I think it might be covered in Chapter 4 of Sheather's book A Modern Approach to Regression with R

Anyone who has only known Monmouth College's exceptional physical plant during the past 25 years would find it hard to believe that for 90 years a crude wooden structure that cost $2,500 to build stood at the heart of campus. Not only did it stand, but it was heavily used throughout its lifetime and even survived a devastating fire.
Lovingly referred to as the "Old Crackerbox" or "Graham's Cow Barn" (after the family that gave farmland to create the Monmouth College campus), the building began life as a gymnasium but for most of its existence served as headquarters for Monmouth's progressive and respected drama program. Staging memorable productions that ranged from traditional Shakespeare to theater of the absurd, the college's Crimson Masque organization made maximum use of the limited space through creative stagecraft and exceptional acting. Generations of alumni and local theatergoers fondly remember the old red barn as the Little Theatre.
Perhaps the reason the structure was so beloved is that it twice filled a vital need for students when finances were precarious for the fledgling college. The first instance was the demand for a gymnasium.
Although a Student Athletic Association was founded in 1877, it was not until 1894 that funds were raised to construct an athletic field for football, baseball and track. Still, students and alumni clamored for a gymnasium and, while the initial drawings for the Auditorium in 1894 included gym facilities, they were eventually removed for lack of funding.
College basketball gained popularity in 1897, when the YMCA bought the former Methodist Church in 1897 and installed a gymnasium, allowing Monmouth men to compete against area teams, but there was no college funding available for rental. The issue came to a head in 1900, when female students organized a basketball team but were not allowed to use the YMCA.
Early that year, after students formally petitioned President Lyons for a gym, the board agreed to match funds raised by students. In February, the trustees voted to sell 14 lots adjacent to the athletic park to help fund construction. On April 14, interim president J.H. McMillan turned the first shovelful of dirt on the project and work began on the foundation. The building was erected on the site of former tennis courts immediately behind the auditorium, so that locker and bath facilities from that building could be shared.
It was reported that a large number of men had been employed to construct the gym, which would be completed in one month at a cost of $2,500. The 40-by-90-foot building would have a roof height of 20 feet, and because the basketball court ran wall-to-wall, a balcony-like running track encircling the building was erected 10 feet off the ground. It was also reported that the building would be veneered in brick when finances allowed. Perhaps predictably, that never happened.
By August, the gymnasium was finished but none of the apparatus had been purchased. It was not until September 1901 that equipment — in the form of bars, flying rings, punching bags and mats — would arrive. Still, by the end of 1900, the building had been equipped with two arc lights and provisions were being made for heating.
Because all Monmouth students were required to take physical education, the tiny building received constant use, but the congestion was relieved somewhat in 1914 when a gymnasium for women was erected on the third floor of the new McMichael Residence Hall. Finally, in 1925, a modern new college gymnasium replaced the aging structure, which was temporarily turned into a roller rink and social hall.
Enter Miss Ruth Williams, an energetic 26-year-old Northwestern University graduate, who was hired in 1923 to teach public speaking. An aficionado of theater, she was disappointed that Monmouth had no facilities for producing a play. Despite that, she organized the Crimson Masque thespian group and soon had 45 active members, along with 30 to 70 freshman apprentices. One-act plays were staged on the small stages of the four literary society rooms on the top floor of Wallace Hall. Each seated 105 people and contained a stage only three feet high. Full-length dramas required the use of the Auditorium stage, which couldn't be easily reserved due to the required daily chapel service.
The Crimson Masque raised $350 and received permission to convert the old gym into a Little Theatre. Amenities were few, with no raked floor, limited lighting and seating consisting of bleachers in the rear and chairs in the front. The house sat 300 and admission was 25 cents. The Monmouth College Little Theatre opened Oct. 21, 1927, with three one-act plays, and over the next six decades would host nearly 200 increasingly sophisticated productions.
Fire broke out early in the morning of June 5, 1934, following a dress rehearsal for senior play in the Auditorium. The cast had been using the Little Theater to dress and apply makeup, and the fire broke out in the men's dressing room. Professor Richard Petrie, who was up late at his nearby residence grading exams, turned in the alarm just after 1 a.m. Most of the electrical equipment had been transferred to the auditorium for the class play and was saved. The contents of the building went up in flames but insurance money covered the loss and paid for the conversion into something more like a theater. The floor was slanted and the running track converted into balcony. A modern lighting systems was installed, a scene dock built on the east end and cement steps replaced an old gangplank on the front.
Ruth Williams remained at the helm until after World War II. As male students went off to war, a town-and-gown group was formed so that townspeople could continue to supply male roles.
Howard Gongwer, who joined the theater faculty in 1950, began a modernization effort and spent one hot summer with a student rewiring the entire building so that the light control board could be moved from backstage to the rear of the theater. His successor, Parker Zellers, elevated the rear seats, constructed a vestibule and covered the radiators His students installed a dimmer control and patch panel board, added a turntable, tape recorder and better speakers. He also installed a backstage sink and paint-mixing table. A tool cage was built and dressing rooms were improved with mirrors and lighting. An electric motor was installed to operate the curtain — its speed controlled by the gearshift from a 1928 Model A Ford.
The Little Theatre was razed in 1990 to make way for a parking lot. Pieces of the old structure were made into mementos for theater alumni and donors to the new Wells Theater.

An Oasis tribute band was trapped for three days with the public and did not stop playing
Noasis, an Oasis tribute band had a hard time during a show. A nightmare. It was at a pub presentation Tan Hill Inn in Yorkshire.
The public that went to see in action Noasis, On Friday night, they were unable to return home due to Storm Arwen. Bad weather and heavy snow knocked down power lines, complicated routes, and everything was closed.
The venue is known to be the tallest in Britain, located on a hill 528 meters high. The musicians, staff, and fans had to stay three days without being able to leave.

According NME, Tickets were sold out, but bad weather warnings affected participation. Despite the storm, dubbed the worst in decades, fans braved bad weather to attend the concert.
"The fact that more than 60 people came during a snowstorm means a lot to us. Simply, we wouldn't exist without our fan base"Said the manager Wayne Todd, who sometimes plays the drums for the group and who was not in the place this time.
How were the days of confinement
In order to entertain the trapped people, the place organized different activities such as contests, board games and even showed some movies. They also equipped themselves to sleep in makeshift beds. Noasis took advantage and played the three days.
Nicola Townsend, pub manager, told the BBC that beyond the problem, they were able to have fun: "We formed a great friendship, like a great family. Even a lady told me that she did not want to go ". As the situation improved, the trapped people were able to return to their homes on Monday.

The history of Noasis
The group was formed in 2006 and has over a thousand shows. The love for Oasis is the perfect union between the members. "The band always works hard to give the audience a show that we can be proud of," explained Todd.
The goal of Noasis is to convey how exciting it was to see Oasis in its first days of life. Through its performances, the project tries to "recreate that experience for a new audience."
The group was disappointed to have to cancel a recital in Bocking Arts Theater near Colchester, Essex.
A hashtag that attracted attention
The situation led to the appearance of #Snowasis on social media that became a trend throughout the weekend.
"When I first saw the hashtag, I thought it was very clever," noted Wayne, who explained that the members have no problem with the new nickname as a name.

Nuestra Señora de Atocha (Spanish: Our Lady of Atocha) was a Spanish treasure galleon and the most widely known vessel of a fleet of ships that sank in a hurricane off the Florida Keys in 1622. At the time of her sinking, Nuestra Señora de Atocha was heavily laden with copper, silver, gold, tobacco, gems, and indigo from Spanish ports at Cartagena and Porto Bello in New Granada (present-day Colombia and Panama, respectively) and Havana, bound for Spain. The Nuestra Señora de Atocha was named for a holy shrine in Madrid, Spain. It was a heavily armed Spanish galleon that served as the almirante (rear guard) for the Spanish fleet. It would trail behind the other ships in the flota to prevent an attack from the rear.
Much of the wreck of Nuestra Señora de Atocha was famously recovered by an American commercial treasure hunting expedition in 1985. Following a lengthy court battle against the State of Florida, the finders were ultimately awarded sole ownership of the rights to the treasure.
1 Building and Dimensions
2 Sinking
3 Modern recovery and legal battle
Building and Dimensions[edit]
The Atocha was built for the Spanish Crown in Hanava in 1620. She was rated at 550 tons, with an overall length of 112 feet, a beam of 34 feet, and a draft of 14 feet. She carried a square-rigged fore and mainmast and a lateen-rigged mizzenmast. Although there are no existing records, she likely had a high sterncastle, low waist, and high forecastle as was typical for an early 17th century Spanish galeón.
Sinking[edit]
Nuestra Señora de Atocha had been delayed in Veracruz before she could rendezvous in Havana with the vessels of the Tierra Firme (Mainland) Fleet. The treasure, which arrived by mule in Panama City, was so immense that it took two months to record and load it onto the Atocha.[1] After still more delays in Havana, what was ultimately a 28-ship convoy did not manage to depart for Spain until 4 September 1622, six weeks late. Each ship in the convoy carried crew, soldiers, passengers, provisions, and treasures from all over South America.[2] The Atocha alone carried cargo whose estimates range between $250 and $500 million, including silver from Peru and Mexico, gold and emeralds from Colombia, and pearls from Venezuela, as well as more common goods including worked silverware, tobacco, and bronze cannons.[3][4][5]
In the second day of its voyage from Havana, the convoy was overtaken by a hurricane in the Florida Straights. By the morning of 6 September, eight of the ships has sunk and their remains lay scattered from Marquesas Key to the Dry Tortugas.[6] The Nuestra Señora de Atocha had lost all of her 265 crew and passengers except for three sailors and two slaves, who survived by clinging to the mizzenmast. Among the sailors killed in the disaster was Bartolomé García de Nodal, explorer of the Straits of Magellan surrounding Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America. All of her treasure sank with the ship, approximately 30 leagues (140 km) from Havana.
After the surviving ships brought the news of the disaster back to Havana, Spanish authorities dispatched another five ships to salvage Nuestra Señora de Atocha and Santa Margarita, which had run aground nearby. Nuestra Señora de Atocha had sunk in approximately 17 metres (56 ft) of water, making it difficult for divers to retrieve any of the cargo or guns from the ship. A second hurricane on 5 October of that year made attempts at salvage even more difficult by scattering the wreckage of the sunken ship still further.
The Spaniards undertook salvage operations for several years with the use of Indian slaves, and recovered nearly half of the registered part of its cargo from the holds of Santa Margarita. The principal method used for the recovery of this cargo was a large brass diving bell with a glass window on one side: a slave would ride to the bottom, recover an item, and return to the surface by being hauled up by the men on deck. It was often lethal, but more or less effective. Dead slaves were recorded as a business expense by the captains of salvage ships.[7]
The loss of the 1622 fleet was a severe blow to Spanish commercial interests, forcing the crown to borrow more to finance its role in the ongoing Thirty Years' War and to sell several galleons to raise funds. The Spanish worked diligently and were able to salvage most of the Santa Margarita over the next ten years. However, in 60 years of searching, the Spanish never located the Atocha.[8]
Modern recovery and legal battle[edit]
Beginning in 1969, American treasure hunters Mel Fisher, Finley Ricard and a team of sub-contractors, funded by investors and others in a joint venture, Treasure Salvors, Inc., searched the sea bed for Nuestra Señora de Atocha for sixteen and a half years. In 1970, Fisher had recovered portions of the wrecked cargo of the sister ship Santa Margarita. He also proposed the idea to several other potential helpers, who were discouraged by the fact that this dangerous professional diving job would be paid at minimum wage unless the ship could be found. Silver bars apparently from the Nuestra Señora de Atocha were found in 1973, with cannon inscribed such to verify the wreck of Atocha were found by Fisher's son, Dirk, in 1975. Subsequently, a substantial part of its remaining cargo of silver, gold and emeralds was discovered. It was Fisher's son, Kane, who radioed the news to Treasure Salvors headquarters on the Florida coast, from the salvage boat Dauntless.[9]
The salvaged coins, both gold and silver, were minted primarily between 1598 and 1621, although numerous earlier dates were represented as well, some of the dates extending well back into the 16th century. Many of the dates and types of the period had been either rare or unknown prior to the salvage of the wreck. It is understood by experts that the sterncastle, the part of the ship that would hold most of the gold and rare Muzo emeralds, is still missing from the shipwreck. These and other valuable items would have been stored in the captain's cabin for safekeeping in the rear part of Nuestra Señora de Atocha.
After the discovery, the State of Florida claimed title to the wreck and forced Treasure Salvors, Inc. into a contract giving 25% of the found treasure to the state. Treasure Salvors fought the state, claiming the find should be its exclusively. After eight years of litigation, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favour of Treasure Salvors on 1 July 1982, and it was awarded rights to all found treasure from the vessel.[10][11] Fisher died on 19 December 1998.
In June 2011, divers from Mel Fisher's Treasure Salvors found an antique emerald ring believed to be from the wreck. It is said that the ring is worth an estimated $500,000. The ring was found 56 kilometres (35 mi) from Key West, along with two silver spoons and other artifacts.[12][13] In 2014, Nuestra Señora de Atocha was added to the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most valuable shipwreck to be recovered, as it was carrying roughly 40 tonnes of gold and silver, and 32 kilograms (71 lb) of emeralds.[14]

For many women, having a vaginal birth after a previous caesarean should be a possible and positive way to give birth to your baby. This is commonly known as Vaginal Birth After a Caesarean or VBAC. If you choose to try for a VBAC, there is no difference to any other vaginal birth other than when you go into labour you and your baby will be monitored closely to ensure any potential complications are picked up quickly.
If you are considering a VBAC you will need to spend some time finding a hospital service and doctor or midwife who will support this choice as not all services and care providers offer VBAC. Some hospitals will offer birth classes specific to VBAC to provide you with all the relevant information.
For more information about VBAC and the advantages and possible disadvantages it is best to speak with your doctor or maternity care provider.

As we're nearly at the end of 2010 it seems to be a good point to review all of the major hydrogen news stories from the year. The collection of articles is quite impressive and shows a real build up in momentum for the hydrogen economy as we move towards 2011.
Riversimple's hydrogen car hits the headlines as its design is to be "open source".
London to create a 'hydrogen network' by 2012, in time for the city's Olympic games. The London Hydrogen Partnership (LHP) is working across London boroughs on plans to deliver over the next two years at least six refuelling sites to refuel hydrogen-powered vehicles in the capital. One is already being built in east London for the refuelling of hydrogen-fuelled buses that will begin running on the RV1 route later this year.
French startup McPhy Energy has delivered the first commercial-scale prototype of a solid-state hydrogen storage tank, which it claims could solve the challenge presented to grid operators by the intermittent nature of many renewable energy sources.

New Hampshire REALTORS® Envision Smart Growth for White Mountains
January 8, 2018 News & Events, Success Stories, Success Story
In the White Mountains region of New Hampshire, one of the nation's earliest tourist destinations and a favored second-home location, the pronounced lack of affordable housing limits service industry opportunities for a would-be workforce. The drain on the economic sustainability of the broader community is already being felt: two of the region's most popular tourist attractions have been forced to partially and temporarily close in high season, due to lack of staff. Looking ahead, a recent report projects that first-time home purchases will be down in New Hampshire in the next five to ten years. But, with a REALTOR® Party Smart Growth Action Grant, the 150-member White Mountain Board of REALTORS® (WMBR) has helped communities to envision solutions and begin to remove barriers to affordable housing by sponsoring design and planning charrettes in partnership with the Mount Washington Valley Housing Coalition (MWVHC.)
"To me, it's a no-brainer!" states 2018 WMBR President Theresa Bernhardt, explaining that Victoria Laracy, the executive director of MWVHC, had reached out to the REALTORS® for help funding the charrettes. "We have access to these REALTOR® Party funds, and this is what we do: provide housing." Two charrettes held in October 2017 were the third such project that WMBR has sponsored since 2013, each one building on the work of the previous charrettes. A charrette is an intensive design and planning exercise that brings together representatives of all stakeholder groups; in the towns of Bartlett and Conway last fall, that meant hard-working teams of planning officials, bankers, property representatives, REALTORS®, architects, engineers, site planners, construction estimators, neighbors, local businesses and workers in need of housing.
Laracy, whose organization has planned and hosted each of the programs, cuts to the chase: "These charrettes demonstrate how the economics of development need for zoning to be in place in order to achieve adequate affordable housing in a free market. In both Bartlett, where there is a 0% vacancy rate, and Conway, where the rate is 1%, our teams demonstrated that significant affordable housing could be created, with a reasonable rate of return for the developer, if zoning restrictions were changed, even slightly." The official report from the October charrettes has been shared with the communities and local legislators, as a first step to address zoning updates. "This wouldn't have been possible without the support from the REALTORS®," she says.
Bernhardt, who was one of two REALTOR®-members of the Conway team, says, "It's a fascinating process, watching completely well thought-out, viable plans being presented at 6:00 PM on what was a blank piece of paper at 9:00 AM. To have all these experts at the same table working on a given project involving real, available parcels of land, was an incredibly efficient and productive way to go about finding options and eliminating others." She reiterates Laracy's assertion that zoning was the stumbling block to affordable housing for both town teams: "Under current zoning, we discovered that the seven-acre parcel of land we were working with could only support 28 total units of housing, which was not an economically viable project for any developer. But if zoning were to allow for increased density, then 70 units could be built on the same parcel, twenty of which would be offered as affordable housing, with a near 8% annual return to the developer. Those are the kinds of numbers that make projects like this feasible. They clearly demonstrate why we need to work with our planning boards to change the zoning ordinances that are restricting affordable housing." She adds that, in addition to an open community discussion at the outset of the process, the final charrette presentations were attended by over sixty local residents. "There is real concern, and real engagement. The REALTORS® are proud to be part of the group that is seeking solutions and moving them forward."

Has U2 Reached Rolling Stones Territory of Irrelevance?
April 22, 2015 Alan Cross	1 Comment	Innocence + Experience Tour, Irrelevance, Songs of Innocence, U2
Look, I'm a fan of both U2 and the Stones, but there comes a time when a group reaches a point in their career when they transition from being a band of the moment a band of the past. No one has cared about any new material from the Stones for decades. When they tour, all anyone wants to hear are the hits. U2 has entered that same territory.
With a world tour set to start in Vancouver next month–they're rehearsing at the Pacific Coliseum right now–U2 is about to start promoting an album that isn't getting any significant support from radio.
For example, outside of Quebec where 9 of 43 U2-friendly stations played "Every Breaking Wave" 38 times last week, the song received just 6 spins in the rest of Canada. That's out of 153 stations that historically supported the group. In the US, only one station is promoting the song with any gusto, giving it 30 spins last week. Anyone else who's playing the song is spinning it fewer than 10 times a week. In all of North America, the song has received airplay just 28,000 times since the release of from Songs of Innocence back in September. The first single, "The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)," has been aired less than 27,000 times. Both numbers are shockingly low for a band of U2's stature.
When we at the Edge considered the record, we have "Miracle" a couple of weeks on the playlist before we tested it with our audience. They responded with a big yawn. When we tested more U2 songs, the audience offered a big "meh." (Keep in mind that we're talking an audience of 18-34 year-olds. For many of them, U2 is their parents' band.)
The album itself. It's nowhere to be found on the Billboard Top 200 or on Canada's Top 200 chart. Then again, the band did give away 500 million free copies through that deal with Apple, so it's not surprising that it's not charting.
As for this upcoming tour, there seems to be a seriously lack of buzz. Yes, it's sold out but where's the excitement that accompanied virtually every other tour the band has staged? Yes, there's no way anyone could possible top the 360 Tour–that's one for the ages–but shouldn't there be more talk about the Innocence + eXPERIENCE roadtrip? What, exactly, can fans expect? Why should anyone care about these shows? It hasn't been very well defined, has it?
Maybe it's management. This is the first album and tour under Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager, who took over from the retiring Paul McGuinness. If Paul were still in charge, would things be different?
Or maybe the band is just going through some challenging times, what with Bono's serious bike injury last year and the deaths of some close friends recently. Or it's possible–even likely–that U2's strongest material is behind them. Play the hits, boys. That's what the fans really care about.
AtU2, one of the better U2 sites, takes a look at the situation. They admit that it's worrisome. Read their whole article here.

One thought on "Has U2 Reached Rolling Stones Territory of Irrelevance?"
Dan Hill
For me, U2's last moment of relevancy was All That You Can't Leave Behind. But this seems to happen to almost any successful artist who stays in the game long enough. Perhaps it's because they're not hungry any more, or they surround themselves with people who never tell them when they suck, or perhaps the muse just visits less often… and when she does they're distracted by their yacht. Even McCartney, Neil Young and Prince aren't immune from this.

Bergman: A Year in a Life
Searingly honest depiction of a cinema icon
@Filmhouse, Edinburgh from Wed 6 Feb 2019
It's impossible to overstate the importance of Ingmar Bergman in the history of cinema. The word iconic simply doesn't do him justice. Not only is he recognised as one of the all-time greats of the medium, his name has become a semiotic shorthand as the definition of a certain type of arthouse film-making; both celebrated and parodied in equal measure. With 2018 marking his centenary, his legacy is ripe for assessment.
Jane Magnusson's documentary Bergman: A Year in a Life focuses on 1957, an impossibly verdant year of creativity for Bergman. It saw the release of two of his most enduring films, The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries, as well as radio plays, TV movies, and lavish stage productions of Molière's The Misanthrope, and Ibsen's Peer Gynt. Magnusson uses 1957 to contextualise Bergman's life and career overall. She depicts it as the year he began to make films containing no voice other than his own; an artistic decision that proved the springboard to his becoming the titan and tyrant of Swedish culture. The methods are familiar: talking heads, film clips and archive footage of the man himself, at work and in his own words; yet the sources are first rate. The interviews are always candid, and the interviewees close collaborators like Liv Ullmann, Gunnel Lindblom, Lena Endre, and Lena Olin.
While Bergman's work deserves to be celebrated in this way, A Year in a Life is no hagiography. Magnusson doesn't balk at depicting him as yet another man whose perceived greatness is a licence to behave badly. His compulsive infidelity, youthful allegiance to Nazi ideals (not uncommon in Sweden during the period), propensity for violence towards women, and his utter disinterest in his children are all addressed. It's relentlessly fascinating, even if it feels like the film occasionally stretches to present his art as justification for his abysmal behaviour. It also fails to get past the varnish of his self-mythologising to the real man, warts and all. The depiction of Bergman as a rather hermetic figure who painted his life story through his films and characters as his own unreliable narrator, is one he took pains to cultivate himself. Nevertheless, it's a rigorous and exhaustive examination of an astonishing career.
It's difficult to say if Bergman: A Year in a Life will entice casual viewers who aren't ardent cinephiles. Magnusson doesn't assume a huge amount of prior knowledge about her subject, but the documentary lacks the propulsive narrative of something like Senna which attracted an impressive amount of non-racing fans. What it does have is a fascinating take on the obsessive drive to create; to the exclusion of family, friends and often, health. For films fans it's ambrosia, and would form an ideal double bill in both subject and themes with Les Blank's Werner Herzog doc, Burden of Dreams.

Nike QUIET After Kaepernick Says July 4th A "Celebration of White Supremacy"
(PresidentialWire.com)- Colin Kaepernick doesn't hide his hatred for America. Ever since he chose to take a knee during the national anthem he has gained support for his "bravery" from far-left radicals, the media, and even mainstream Democrats. He's managed to hold onto sponsorship deals and rake in a fortune as large as his afro.
During this year's Independence Day celebrations, Kaepernick proved just how untouchable he is by saying that July 4th is a "celebration of white supremacy."
Kaepernick made the shocking claim as millions of Americans of all races and backgrounds celebrated their independence and freedom with parties, barbeques, and fireworks.
On Saturday afternoon, as people were celebrating, Kapernick told his millions of Twitter followers that the national holiday is merely a day to celebrate white supremacy.
Black ppl have been dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized + terrorized by America for centuries, & are expected to join your commemoration of "independence", while you enslaved our ancestors. We reject your celebration of white supremacy & look forward to liberation for all. ✊🏾 pic.twitter.com/YCD2SYlgv4
— Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) July 4, 2020
"Black ppl have been dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized + terrorized by America for centuries, & are expected to join your commemoration of 'independence', while you enslaved our ancestors," he said.
Did he not stop to consider the fact that so many African Americans are celebrating July 4th is a sign that it…is not a celebration of white supremacy?
"We reject your celebration of white supremacy & look forward to liberation for all," he said, without indicating who he believes need to be liberated and who they need to be liberated from. In the United States, slavery has been illegal for hundreds of years – and it was a combination of the Americans and the British who championed the ending of that evil trade.
Despite Kaepernick's extremism, Nike has remained silent. The sports company, which uses the sports star as a representative of their brand, has long been silent about his attacks on American holidays and patriotism. Before 2019's Independence Day celebrations, Kaepernick successfully encouraged Nike to drop their "Betsy Ross Flag" sneakers claiming the flag was racist and has a "connection to an era of slavery."

Gracias, General Mills, for partnering with me on this post to share about our family's traditions for Día de Los Muertos. Like always, all opinions are mine.
Día de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is not a day we normally observed in my house growing up. My parents are Bolivian, and my mother told me of the festivities she remembered having growing up. However, religiously, they didn't have the same beliefs as before. As I teach my own girls about Latino traditions, we combine what's important to us, and make our own memories. One of these is making pan de guaguas (pronounced Wa-Wa, like my favorite gas station) or bread shaped like swaddling babies, for Día de los Muertos or Día de los Difuntos.
My girls have always loved the Sugar Skulls and bright colors from Día de los Muertos that they've seen on television, movies, and in stores. They were curious and asked me what it was about, so I told them it was about remembering our family and friends who have passed away.
When I lived in Ecuador, I remember the pan de guaguas. They were decorated with different colors, and in Loja, where I happened to be during Día de los Muertos, they made pan de animales, too. People would visit the cemeteries of their loved ones and bring gifts and food.
Now, I involve my girls! They love to cook with me, so we make the dough together, and I let them decorate the pan de guaguas however they want. They requested Trix, their favorite Big G cereal, which I easily found in the cereal aisle at Walmart. After the bread cools, we add icing, and I let them have at it to use whatever patterns they want.
While we eat our pan de guaguas, we talk about family members who have passed away. My children have grandparents, great grandparents, great aunts, and even friends who are no longer with us. We'll share stories or favorite memories of them and answer any questions they might have.
We observe Día de los Muertos as a time to enjoy and respect life while honoring those who are still a part of our lives in our hearts. The most important thing is to be together as familia and creating traditions for our children. Good food doesn't hurt, either.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) My girls like it sweeter with cinnamon.
Dissolve yeast in warm milk, then add 1/2 cup of flour from the 4 cups used in the recipe. Mix well and let rise for about 1 hour.
Mix all the ingredients except the butter. Knead the dough, then add the butter and knead again until forming a ball.
Use flour to prevent dough from sticking. If dough is too sticky, add more flour. Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for approximately 2 hours or until dough doubles in size.
Cut the dough into the shape of guaguas de pan. I cut out a pattern from paper and use a pizza cutter to cut faster. However, watch your edges. Some of my shoulders on the guaguas were too pointy.
Place guaguas de pan on a lightly greased baking sheet or line with parchment paper. Let rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until browned.
My daughter loves the look of the sugar skulls. These treats are such a great way to celebrate the Dia de loa Muertos.
That is a very cute idea! I am glad that you are continuing your family traditions even if you are not living in your childhood country! We do the same thing in our family. I love traditions!
These look like such yummy pastries. Some of our friends celebrate Dia de los Muertes.
These look so delicious and easy to make. I will have to give this recipe a try. My kids are going to love helping me.
I will have to get the ingredients I need to make this recipe. It looks like a great one to make with the kids.
I will have to make these for our Día de los Muertos dinner. I think it is a great way to honor our loved ones.
What a great tradition to share with your girls. It's important to talk about people in our lives who have passed on and keep their memory alive for generations to come.
I think this is a wonderful tradition. It's great that your daughters want to take part in this tradition. Honoring family is important.
I can't wait to try your recipe! It looks soooo good! We celebrate dia de los muertos every year!
I am super interested in dia de los muertos. These are some really cute snacks that my kids would love.
What a fun tradition to have with your kids. Even if you didn't grow up with it, it's nice to bring back some heritage with our own children.
I think these are so cute and I love the story behind it. I think I will try and make these with my kids.
Using Trix is totally brilliant. These are such a fun way to celebrate the holiday.
Those look great. I bet they taste really good as well. I'll have to make some of them with my girls. They'd love to help.
Keeping traditions alive is hugely important in my family as well. Halloween is a big deal for us, doing a little "appropriation" and incorporating this will be fun as well.
Even I Love tricks!! This is so cute and my kids would love it.
i never heard of this recipe before. I have to try it out.
These are so cute! I love that your girls love joining you in the kitchen. I'm sure my kids will love making and eating this!
What a Beautiful holiday and I think it is just wonderful that you are passing on your family traditions to your kids and involving them in all the prep work of those delectable goodies!
These are so fun looking! My kids were wondering what dia de los muertos was because of sugar skulls.


Here in NYC, it's been a busy mid-summer for NYC ABC with recent events at The Base, including a night of solidarity with international anti-fascist prisoner Jock Palfreeman, the launch of the Earth First! Direct Action Manual, and planning our annual 'Running Down the Walls' 5K run.
Recently, we were reminded of the quote 'violence is as American as cherry pie' with the choking murder of Eric Garner on Staten Island by the NYPD. That prescient quote was from political prisoner Imam Jamil Al-Amin (then known as H. Rap Brown) which brings us to this next letter writing dinner.
Jamil Al-Amin is a long time community leader and organizer, falsely imprisoned for killing a sheriff's deputy in Georgia. He was convicted in 2002 and after some time in Georgia state prison, the state decided to bury him in federal custody at the notorious Florence Supermax in Colorado. Due to a concerted and strong effort on the part of his supporters, Imam Jamil was transferred to the medical facility at Butner after having been diagnosed with bone cancer.
We are lucky to be joined by guest speaker Johanna Fernandez, Assistant Professor of History at Baruch College, editor of the forthcoming Writing on the Wall, Selected Prison Writings of Mumia Abu Jamal (City Lights) as well as When the World Was Their Stage: A History of the Young Lords Party, 1968-1974 (Princeton University Press). Johanna works with the Bring Mumia Home campaign and will be discussing the history of Imam Jamil al-Amin's case and the campaign to get him proper cancer treatment & bring him home.
It's a simple proposition, as always. You come bringing yourself, your friends and comrades and we serve you a delicious vegan meal, information about the prisoners as well as all of the letter-writing materials and prisoner-letter-writing info you could ever want to use in one evening. In return, you write a thoughtful letter to a political prisoner or prisoner of war of your choosing or, better yet, keep up a long-term correspondence. We'll also provide some brief updates on political prisoner campaigns and pass around birthday cards for the PP/POWs whose birthdays fall in the next two weeks.

Taking these courses with you provides me with much of what I need and want. Thank you!
I decided to take the course because I wished to have more information to help my daughters with reading.
I couldn't be happier at what Maren Schmidt presented. It is exactly what I always dreamed as a learning method. It is very well structured, consistent and above all fun.
Besides, I got personalized tips on how to help my one daughter who has a learning disability.
The course is absolutely amazing!

The Five Senseis were the successors and the descendants of of Chin Yang. Their names are Tsoi, Li, Ho, Fut, and Hung Hochstadt.
1.1 Tsoi (蔡)
1.2 Li (李)
1.3 Ho (何)
1.4 Fut (佛)
1.5 Hung (雄)
2.1 Tsoi
2.2 Li
2.3 Ho
2.4 Fut
2.5 Hung
After Chin Yang's Death, his sons, Tsoi and Li succeeded him. They used Chin Yang's belt system until the year 1900, when they decided to change it to the modern belt system known today. Tsoi also had two sons named Ho and Fut, But Li had only one son who moved to Alemania. Finally, Ho had a son named Hung, who was the last of the Five Masters. At one point, all of them were Senseis, which gave them their title, but this only lasted for nearly 35 years (1910-1945) until Tsoi died. This period was the most prosperous time for them, and they trained many, many ninjas back then too.
Tsoi (蔡)[edit]
Tsoi was the son of Chin Yang who shared the title of Sensei with his brother, Li. He was born with albinism and was known for being a dirty fighter, using all his wits to win a match. He was also the first Fire Sensei after he came up with the idea of greatly mastering one of the elements the most. Tsoi's nasty fighting technique reflected his personality; he was hot headed and rather cocky with an egotistical demeanor. Tsoi and his brother Li contrasted with each other and were known for getting into many fights when they were young. His main weapons were two long ropes of flaming barbed wire that he kept hidden up his sleeves. Despite being thin, they were incredibly strong and flexible, capable of blocking even Li's enormous Kwan Dao. Like Li, Tsoi also went on vacations, although not to Alemania. Tsoi vacationed most often to Pengolia, the volcanoes of Beru, Castilla, Penguifornia, and southern Liguria. Tsoi died in 1945 at age 100, about a day before Li died.
Li (李)[edit]
Li was the younger brother of Tsoi (despite the fact that he towered over him) and shared the title of Sensei with him. Li had a terrible childhood because both his father and brother were hot headed and very cocky, thus Li had a resenting relationship with them and he resolved not to marry and have children in fear that his children would become cocky like his brother and father. Nevertheless, he did, and gave birth to a daughter named Chiyoko, and a son named Johannes Hochstadt, who became the descendant Grandfather of Gottfried and Bernard Hochstadt. (Li is their Great-Grandfather). However, Li made sure Johannes did not aspire to follow in his footsteps, so when he was older, Li advised Johannes to make his living in Alemania, and he settled in Hohenterngau peacefully, making Li proud. Li visited Alemania every summer to be with his son and grandchildren, but also because Alemania was his favorite island because of it's beautiful lakes, rivers, and green plants that would appeal to a Water Sensei. Besides his semiannual visit to Alemania, Li would occasionally visit Lago di Lario, to relax and have peace. Lago di Lario was considered Li's most favorite lake and was where it was rumored that Li came up of the idea of becoming a Water Sensei after his first visit there. However, the truth was that he discovered to become the Water Sensei after discovering his ability to water bend at the Waterfall in Club Penguin. Li was known for being well balanced and had good control against an opponent, and also for his incredible strength. His weapon of choice was an giant Kwan Dao, which was said to be forged by the Grindylows, which he carried on his back wherever he went. Li was also the first Water Sensei. All of these factors lead many penguins to refer to him as the "Water Demon", a phrase which Li had tattooed onto his arm in Japanese. Unlike his brother, Li was a very honorable fighter and referred to all of his students as his children. He was also the master of Toshi Kojima and Speeddasher. Li died in 1945 at the age of 100, although he still visits Sensei and Speeddasher as a ghost from time to time to this day.
Ho (何)[edit]
Ho was the older Son of Tsoi. He was born with high expectations, but he was not able to become a Fire Ninja as his father had hoped, although Ho was a good Water Ninja, to his father's discomfort. Nevertheless, Tsoi did not realize his son's true potential until much later in his life, and for many years, Tsoi had preferred his son Fut more than Ho, creating a rivalry and a bitter hatred for his younger sibling, just as Tsoi had done with Li. Henceforth, Ho learned to manipulate the element of Snow and became the first Snow Sensei. Ho was a precise fighter who attacked the vital points (pressure points) of the opponent with the techniques of Tsoi and Li. Ho aspired to become a practical fighter who used everything he learned. Ho stayed neutral in quarrels between Tsoi and Li, despite being Tsoi's son, but he respected his uncle Li just as much. Ho was well known also for his scraggly appearance with his shaggy beard and raggy clothing that he had worn as a young Sensei in Training, and it seemed like he took more of his uncle's personality than his father, although Ho was known as a wild fighter who was very friendly and jovial. Ho died in 1953, aged 80 years old from disease.
Fut (佛)[edit]
Fut was the younger son of Tsoi. He was the smartest of the Five Senseis. He was a good scholar who learned and combined techniques from the other Senseis to use them into his fighting. As a young boy, Fut was a noted bookworm who enjoyed reading haikus, novels and poetry; he also had a great passion for the arts and even science. He always appeared to have a happy and optimistic attitude. Sensei Fut was known for his one and only duel with King Ohzie Ablaze in 1956. In the latter part of his life until he died, Sensei Fut helped Sensei Hung to train young Fuut Ga Hochstadt, who was named after Fut. Fut died peacefully in 1985, aged 100 years old.
Hung (雄)[edit]
Hung is the last of the Five Senseis. As the only son of Ho, he was known for being a tough penguin who was strong and wise. He was well known for leading a large army of Ninjas with his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great uncle, during the Khanzem War. After the war, Hung visited the city of Buenos Suelos where he met a young girl from Parhentina named Ayoshi, whose mother was from Japaland, and had a son. When all of his relatives died, he searched for the successor because was not interested and a Disgrace to the Family. Thus, he came across a young penguin who he trained to be Pen Chi. He used Chin Yang's belt system to train Pen Chi, but he told him to use the old original belt system for future sudents. Hung is considered the best Teacher in history because he trained the best Ninja in history. Also, at the same time, Hung raised the young Fuut Ga Hochstadt since his mother could not hold the responsibility, while Jock Hochstadt came to visit his great-grandfather only once as a two year old chick. The story goes that in 1990, he died of old age at the age of 96 in front of Pen Chi, and an hour later, the Dojo was destroyed by a snow avalanche. It took about a month to clear all the debris before the Dojo remains were recovered, and strangely enough, Hung's body and clothes were gone, along with the bodies and clothing of the other ninjas that were in the dojo at the time. (Pen Chi went into the forest to cope his master's death, so he did not experience the Avalanche.) Conspiracy theories have developed, and some believe that Hung may still be alive but in hiding, but no one knows for sure.
Quotes[edit]
Tsoi[edit]
"What's the matter? You can't take the burn?"
Responding to his brother Li during their first fight:"Water may beat fire younger brother, but heat evaporates water!"
After breaking Li's arm after their first fight:"It would appear I was right younger brother. The mighty phoenix will always triumph over the lowly catfish."
Li[edit]
"It's our friendship, not our blood that make us family my children."
"I AM GOING TO CHOP YOUR HEAD OFF FOR TRICKING ONE OF MY CHILDREN!"
"In an ideal world, the Sensei should be one to promote peace and compromise among the nations. Instead we are assigned by society and circumstance to be protectors and defenders of a chaotic war ridden Antarctica. Nevertheless, I am willing to risk my life for the betterment of penguin and puffle kind so that I can protect and save the ones I love."
Ho[edit]
"I know exactly."
"There is no limits to the mind. Only limits to what the mind wants to achieve."
Fut[edit]
"Wisdom is what will help you the most in battle."
"Look not at the opponent's weapon of choice but at how he wields it. A fool can do damage but he can easily be taken out with the right skills. A skilled fighter is one you should be most concerned with."
Hung[edit]
"At the end of the day, it is mental, not physical strength that will determine the course of a fight."
"An unexperienced student with mastery of the basic principles of Card Jitsu is better off than a seasoned master who never took the time to perfect his basic skills."
Hung once told the young Pen Chi: "Never Eat Yellow Snow, Penji."
To Pen Chi: "You will be the greatest ninja the world has ever known. And I will train you."
On the day of his alleged death: "All things that live must die, Fuut Ga. It is not for you to choose, but I will NOT die today."
All the Senseis and their allies in the title page of "South of Club Penguin".
Sensei Hung with his great grandson, Jock Hochstadt.
Both Tsoi and Li were represented by different animals. Tsoi by the phoenix, and Li by the giant catfish. Each of these personas reflected upon their personality, aswell as their titles as Fire and Water Senseis.
Unlike his brother, Li, who was a heavy sleeper, Tsoi was famous for being an insomniac, and he was well known for lighting many candles in his room and meditated intensely until he tired out and fell asleep. Tsoi was also the first to wake up in the morning when the sun began to rise. His insomnia never hindered his energy during the day, although it did make him feel grumpy and serious at most times. Occationally, Tsoi also wandered around Club Penguin Island at night when he could not sleep.
All of the Five Senseis were Viking Penguins, like Chin Yang. Li has often been assumed to be a High Penguin because of his massive size, but it is true that some Viking Penguins can grow as large as High Penguins, but it is rather rare.

About Club Penguin Fanon Wiki


It is hard to pin down a single common thread between the different themes explored in the exhibits spread out all over the Porta Venezia and San Gregorio area. An outing in this part of the city will inevitably present you with a wide variety of concepts and interpretations that otherwise might be overlooked, or that have an unexpected and never-before-seen take on contemporary design.
Start your route at Palazzo Bocconi (corso Venezia 48 ), with Louis Vuitton. When you enter the courtyard you will immediately be pulled into the timeless and romantic feel of this show by Maison au Bord de l'Eau (The House by the Water), which is a nomadic vacation home that can be completely disassembled and reassembled. Charlotte Perriand originally designed this home down to the smallest detail in 1934, but it was never built, until two years ago. If you are willing to take off your shoes you can visit the four rooms in this structure, all of which look out onto a common patio area. The furniture was also designed to be disassembled.
Once inside the main building you will see Louis Vuitton's new Objets Nomades collection. It includes objects inspired by travel and mobility, as well as tributes to and reinterpretations of historic Louis Vuitton special orders (such as personalised travel trunks). The nine designers of this collection (Atelier Oï, Barber Osgerby, Nendo, Patricia Urquiola, the Campana Brothers, Gwenael Nicolas, Raw Edges, Damien Langlois Meurinne and Maarten Baas) drew heavily from the traditional craftsmanship of this French fashion house when creating their own highly evocative objects, as you can see from their use of leather and animal skins. The items in the collection are transportable, foldable, easily disassembled and reassembled; they include travel accessories, experimental prototypes, one-offs and limited edition products. They were created with an elegant and refined traveller in mind, a dandy explorer.

Continue walking in the same direction with your back towards the city centre. The first exhibit you will come across (on the ground floor of the eastern arch of Porta Venezia) is the TobeUsseries of little wooden cars by Matteo Ragni, painted and personalized by many well-known designers. Once you've seen that keep going straight until you reach via Castaldi, turn, and go to number 40 where you will find the very interesting Construct Me! Hardware Collection project by Droog. This year Droog decided to focus on the small stuff for their exhibit, they have re-designed screws, hinges, hooks, and bolts with an eye to aesthetics and functionality. In other words they are focusing on the parts of design that are usually overlooked because they are aren't very pretty. The result is a colourful collection that transforms the technical world into intelligent décor. Plaques with pre-drilled holes that let you easily insert screw correctly, screws with smiley faces on their heads, different size bolts, wing nuts with a double grip and multi-functional clamps. It's hard not to feel tempted by the automatic smiley screw dispenser, because even screws can be fashionable.
Keep making your way out from the centre and have a look at via Lazzaretto 15, where you will find a unique take on the theme of food, a popular topic at this year's Salone del Mobile because of the imminent start of Expo. The exhibit A stomaco vuoto(On an Empty Stomach) asks if food distracts from artistic endeavours. What is left without food? What does fasting mean? 21 artists try to explore the complexities of this topic. Among the many interpretations on display is Patricia Urquiola's landscape in which everyday objects have been engulfed and overwhelmed by digital vegetation. Studio Dessuant Bone presents a line of tableware that is nothing but a thin blue outline, rendering it functionally useless. Luc Guy Beaussart designed animal-shaped objects that look like hallucinations provoked by hunger.
As you make your way towards Stazione Centrale you will cross via San Gregorio, the heart of the San Gregorio Docet district. The first show you will see, USM Re think the modular, celebrates the 50th anniversary of this brand with a reflection on modularity that includes pieces that go well beyond the traditional take on this subject. Take a little break in the Mondo delle Meraviglie (Land of Marvels) by L' Eclettico at number 39, then dive into the eighties at the Memphis Variation show. Across the street you'll find Wallpaper Arcade at via San Gregorio 43. Among the projects presented here is AfganMade, a new collection of hand-made carpets from Afghanistan that were created by famous design firms. In the neighbouring shop window you will find an interdisciplinary show that puts the spotlight on work by designers from the Middle East; this exhibit is supported by Dubai Design District. Changing gears yet again, turn around and you will see Emeco – Metals in Motion, which features one of the craftsmen from Emeco wearing a work apron, calmly immersed in his own world while he solders together parts to make one of the firm's signature chairs.
Last but not least, we recommend you go to via Cappellini 16 and see Lee Broom'sThe Department Store. The British designer plunges us into a surreal theatrical world in which grey curtains serve as a background for 20 new products, manifestations of what inspires and interests the designer.

Q: Automation Tests using DevExpress Grids with WatiN I am currently using DevExpress grids
and I am now writing automation tests using WatiN, the problem I'm having is
adding and removing columns functionality. I was able to drag and drop the column but does not seem to work, looks like when WatiN talks to the DOM the devexpress javascript methods do not get run.
Anybody been able to get this to work?
Or know a way to add/remove (hide/show) columns in devexpress via javascript?

A: Unfortunately, we have not tried WatiN and thus, cannot suggest a solution to this problem.  However, please note, that the grid is a pure server side control.  It means, that its rendering is done on the server.  I.e. when you hide / add a new column in the client side, the request(callback) is sent to the server.  Anyway, there is a way to hide / show columns using java script using the gridView's client side MoveColumn method.  NOTE, this method just sends a callback to the server and thus it will result in a server request.  Finally, the complete ASPxGridView client side API is published at:

According to reports, Amazon is developing its own game streaming service. Amazon will be competing directly with Google, NVIDIA, Sony, Electronic Arts, and Microsoft who are all developing or have already launched similar services. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the largest cloud computing services provider in the world. Game streaming services typically require that customers have access to a broadband internet connection which will be a challenge for many potential customers in rural areas.
It makes sense for Amazon to enter this arena, as it's the largest provider of cloud computing services on the planet -- ahead of Google and Microsoft by a long shot -- and can therefore easily build out the necessary infrastructure to support a demanding game streaming service for users around the world.
