Smuin Dance Xmas Ballet
By Aime Ts Ao |
After 20 months of enforced "hibernation" the last thing any creature wants is a long winter's sleep. We crave a re-awakening and Smuin Ballet is leading the pack in joyfully bursting onto the stage with its perennial holiday favorite — "The Christmas Ballet."
Over the next five weeks the company will tour the Bay Area with the show in four locations, beginning Friday, Nov. 19, in Walnut Creek. It will be also be available for streaming.
This year's rendition will premiere two new ballets created by former company members, Rex Wheeler and Ben Needham-Wood, and include four pieces of choreography developed for virtual presentation in 2020 and now making their live debuts.
Last year was the 25th anniversary of "The Christmas Ballet" so artistic director Celia Fushille has included many of the original numbers choreographed by founder Michael Smuin from the first 1995 version. The holiday show's program has throughout its history featured an ever-changing program.
"What I loved about it as a dancer was you were not doing the same thing every year," says Wheeler. "If you decide to come see it, you're going to get something a little different and refreshing. You're going to get the classics and you'll see old pieces return on new dancers."
Just before the pandemic Wheeler helped the company produce an LBGTQ night in which a portion of that show's ticket sales were donated to a charity supporting the LGBTQ community. The LGBTQ fundraiser returns this year with the Dec. 21 show, and Wheeler adds, "I also appear in the a skits during the show as my drag persona Lady Camden."
Details: Nov. 19-20 at Lesher Center for the Arts, Walnut Creek, Dec. 2-5 at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, Dec. 10-11 at Sunset Center, Carmel, Dec. 16-26 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; available for streaming Thanksgiving through Dec. 31; $25-$99; www.smuinballet.org.

My First Kiss Episode 9
in haste to use the stairs on which
They stood side by side on the stairs leading to the first floor, deep in a conversation. They stood quite close, shoulder to shoulder, like a pair desperate to confirm their 2-inch height difference. When a group of students had emerged, in haste to use the stairs on which they stood, the duo had momentarily created a path, wide enough for just one student at a time.
"Miss Onuorah, ọbu chukwu zọputara anyị—it was God that saved us. My sister, it would have been a fatal accident oh!" Mrs. Ibekwe exclaimed. "If not for God's mercy, it would have been a totally different story. A whole family of seven, consumed, just like that?!"
"Chukwu agaghị ekwe—God will not permit such." Miss Onuorah, the English language teacher, said. "Our God protects His own."
"I am a witness oh!"
A student showed up on the stairs, standing a reasonable distance away from the teachers. It took a little less of a minute before they recognised her presence.
"Ah, Imabong! Have you been standing there?" Mrs. Ibekwe asked. "Come my dear, there's enough space for you." Both teachers moved a bit, to opposite sides, to create room for Imabong. "Imabong," Mrs. Ibekwe continued, "you are getting more fleshy these days. Eh, everywhere is just shaking." Imabong smiled, while Miss Onuorah laughed. "What special food have you been eating?"
"No special food, ma."
"Her mother must be taking good care of her." Miss Onuorah offered. "You know these south-south people, they like their daughters to be plump, especially when a suitor is at hand."
Imabong had a shy smile when she said, "Ma, there's no suitor."
"Don't worry, God will bring one soon." Mrs. Ibekwe said.
Imabong smiled and continued her descent on the stairs. The teachers maintained their positions, but their eyes proved to be faithful escorts. They resumed their conversation, though favouring a new line, after Imabong had gone a reasonable distance.

"Oh!" Mrs. Ibekwe exclaimed.
"As if you don't have eyes to see. Or will you say you have not noticed anything?"
"My sister, it beats me oh!"
"I wonder if Mrs. Bassey is the only one remaining who has not noticed that her daughter is pregnant."
"Will she carry the pregnancy for Imabong?"
"Is her mother a novice?"
"She is a born-again, a deaconess too. She won't do such."
"Nsogbu adịghị. Mgbe ada ya nwanyi turu ime nke abụo, ọga ahọta—there is no problem. When her daughter gets pregnant a second time, then she will understand."
Evans sat on a single seater sofa in the living room, holding the novel he had found in Jerry's bag, the one marked severally with yellow ink. Evans had been in the same spot for a little above an hour: reading the paragraphs that highlighted the sexual escapades of Marcus, a rich Colombian drug dealer; and occasionally drifting in thought to the recent events his family had been plagued with, mainly, the revelations that were ushered in when Charles and his friend, Lanre, came to visit. Lanre had not measured up to the image Evans had painted of him, though he had not been too far from the mark.
Evans still held the novel, but his thoughts had drifted again.
"Ma, it was a surprise when I got Evans' call," Charles had said, shortly after a conversation had started between the visitors and his mother. "I was surprised because Jerry did not show up at the party."
"Party?" Nneoma had said. She had turned towards Evans. Evans, who had kept his gaze on his mother, and occasionally on Lanre, had looked away.
Charles had continued, much to Evans' delight. "Evans told me that Jerry had mentioned a vigil. There was no vigil. And I did not come with any flyer when I visited that afternoon."
Lanre who had been quiet had spoken next. To Evans, Lanre's voice sounded better in person. "Lately Jerry had repeatedly mentioned a name, one Mr. Ray, saying the man was willing to help him travel abroad. We did not take him seriously, because his claim seemed far-fetched. But, who knows, Jerry may have been serious about it. We just felt you should know."

"We called last night, early this morning actually, to find out if anything had been discovered to be missing. Evans said nothing was missing.
Nneoma had nodded repeatedly.
"After the call ended, I noticed that one of his bag was missing."
"And you did not tell me." his mother had said softly. She had continued before Evans could respond. "Well, it all seem to fall in place now. My money, three hundred thousand naira is also missing."
Evans heaved, flipping unto a new page in the novel he held, unwilling to continue with his thoughts. He began to read again, the first paragraph marked with yellow ink in the page he had just flipped open.
Evans heard a knock and he stirred from his sleep. He sprang to his feet, surprised he had drifted off to sleep while reading the novel. He heard the knock again, and he turned towards the clock on the wall—3:22 pm. He guessed it was a classmate who had bothered to check on him, as he had been absent from school. Evans had complained of a headache, and his mother had not raised any objection when he told her he wanted to stay at home. Evans walked towards the door. He pulled its bolts when he got to it, and the door opened. And in front of him stood Walter.
"You did not come to school today, what happened?" Walter had said, even before the door had fully opened.
Evans merely stood, unsure if he wanted Walter in the house or not. His thoughts immediately got free rein: I lied to aid Jerry's exit, because of you; not long after I got close to you, I get a funny note in my locker; and, what if the same person who dropped the note shows up now, and finds me alone with you?

"Hello . . . " Walter said, waving his hand before Evans' eyes. He made an attempt to walk past Evans, into the living room. Evans surprised both himself and Walter when he stood in Walter's way. He knew he had to say something convincing enough.
"My mother is at home. She's sick," Evans lied. "and—she's sleeping."
"Oh, sorry about that."
"I hope you will be in school tomorrow?"
"Yes. Sure, I will."
"Good. Because I don't understand what Mr. Hassan taught today, not even a bit of it."
Evans did not bother to ask him the topic, he only said, "Ok, till tomorrow."
"Bye. See you in school."
"And my regards to your mum."
Even before he had closed the door, Evans had already started to think of an excuse he would give to avoid spending time with Walter in school the next day.
Jerry sat on the bed in the hotel room he had rented, remote control in hand, watching a foreign movie. The call he had made to Mr. Ray had ended on a bright note, with the assurance that his travel documents would be due in a few days, and he would be leaving for Canada a day or two later. He had prayed that all Mr. Ray had said would follow through, because the hotel bill was fast depleting the money he had left.
Jerry thought of his mother, and he sighed. He had promised himself that he would make her proud when he became rich in Canada.

Any small business can post its core values on the wall and remind employees about them daily. But if employees are never held accountable for these behaviors, they'll just repeat transgressions over and over.
"Accountability must be woven into the fabric of your organization. It has to become a part of every aspect of your business," says Brian Bedford, co-author of the new book, Culture Without Accountability—WTF? What's The Fix?
I agree with Brandy, is there any material to help small business owners establish a process (training, write ups, reviews, etc) ?
Accountaibilty is an important part of changing behavior. However, there is one componet I find alarmingly missing from the article. Without proper process and skill building to support the behavior, holding someone accountable will get you no where. This could lead to unfavaorble consequences for someone not able to meet an accountiabity not becasue they were not held accountable, but becasue of lack of process, environmental concerns, or skill deficets to name a few. Looking at accountability in a vaccum might cause a good manager to lose good performers.


Due to the extreme weather conditions currently occurring in SEQ, we've had to send many staff home so that they can secure their properties and ensure their pets are safe and help friends and families prepare for flooding .
Given this and the extensive road closures in much of Qld, it's likely that there may also be delays in receiving some orders and we do ask our customers to be patient. The positive thing is that all our team are safe and at this stage no team members looks like suffering serious flood damage at home, so we will be back up operating at full strength as soon as we can.
Hi hope everyone at vetshop is safe.


One of the keystones of Unacea's mission is to support the internationalization of businesses in the sector, particularly focusing on the network of SMEs characterizing the construction machinery and equipment field in Italy.
Unacea cooperates in the organisation of collective participations in key trade fair events in this sector around the world. This allows companies to exhibit their products in a coordinated, highly visible manner, enhancing the individuality of the brands while underlining the sense of belonging to the world of Made in Italy. The organisation of collective areas also allows us to negotiate favourable conditions with the trade fair organisers, and above all key positions in the exhibition halls.
The companies choosing to participate in the Unacea collective areas have access not only to the stands and set-ups but also to a series of services made available before, during and after the event. These include the assistance of the association staff at the trade fair, promotion of the collective participation on the social networks and the support of the press office.
Finally, since 2014 many of Unacea's internationalisation initiatives have been included in the ICE promotional programme.

After securing a Bafta nomination for its second run, hit Northern Irish comedy Derry Girls is coming back for a third series on Channel 4.
But what adventures are in store for the Derry Girls in when they return? And when can we expect the new episodes?
Derry Girls was renewed for a third series by Channel 4 in April. A release date for the new episodes has not yet been revealed.
What is Derry Girls about and what happened in series one and two?
The coming-of-age sitcom revolves around four teenage girls from Derry and one wee English fella in 1990s Northern Ireland during The Troubles.
Written by Being Human screenwriter Lisa McGee and based on her own experiences as a teenager, the show follows 16-year-old Erin and her eccentric friends and family who live in a world of armed police, British Army check points and 'peace' walls.
The gang is constantly getting up to mischief, much to the dismay of Erin's parents and the formidable Sister Michael.
Among the big moments of series one were English kid James joining the gang and Clare's coming out storyline. Refresh your memory on the action-packed and rather poignant series finale here.
The second series, meanwhile, saw a potential romance begin to blossom between Erin and James, with the latter almost leaving Derry for good, and ended on a positive note with a rousing speech from Bill Clinton taken from his real-life 1995 visit to the city. Read our interview with Lisa McGee on the series finale here.
Who's in the cast of Derry Girls series three?
The main cast of Derry Girls are all expected to reprise their roles for a third series, including – deep breath – Saoirse-Monica Jackson as Erin Quinn, Louisa Harland as Orla McCool, Nicola Coughlan as Clare Devlin, Jamie-Lee O'Donnell as Michelle Mallon, Dylan Llewellyn as James Maguire, Tara Lynne O'Neill as Ma/Mary, Kathy Kiera Clarke as Aunt Sarah, Siobhan McSweeney as Sister Michael, Tommy Tiernan as Da/Gerry, Ian McElhinney as Granda Joe, Kevin McAleer as Uncle Colm and Leah O'Rourke as Jenny Joyce.
Ardal O'Hanlon made an appearance as Mary's cousin Eamonn in season two, but it is not yet known if he'll play a part in series three. Writer McGee told RadioTimes.com she would like to add Dara O Briain, another Irish comedy legend, to the cast for series three.
What's going to happen in Derry Girls series three?
McGee told RadioTimes.com that the new episodes will be set in a more hopeful period for the gang, as their hometown marches towards peace and the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 (where the writer suggested she would like to wrap things up).
In April 2019, she said: "I'm just thinking about storylines at the minute. I have a political back story I want to do. It's a bit scary but I'll have to start writing things down soon.
"We'll continue from '95 so obviously it was very different for us then, for one thing all these splinter organisations came out of nowhere, which was quite strange, and then people were just getting used to peace time.
McGee added that in series three one of the Derry Girls crew might leave for "a rival gang" and the story would explore "how the others try to get them back and deal with that".
On who the Judas of the group would be, McGee teased that it might be the wee English fella James, which could be interesting given his budding romance with Erin.
Will Erin and James's potential romance develop in series three of Derry Girls?
Despite Erin's complicity in the Derry Girls' endless mocking of James, there have been hints throughout series one and two that she has a bit of a crush on the English boy. In the first season, she was furious (and perhaps jealous) when a Ukrainian exchange student tried to take James's virginity, and in the second Erin was thrilled when James turned up to take her to prom after she was stood up by a local hunk.
After the latter Friends-esque scene, there were a lot of people 'shipping' Erin and James, willing them to get together. Writer Lisa McGee told RadioTimes.com that there might be a future for the pair romantically.

Bayview Avenue is a major north–south route in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario. North of Toronto, in York Region, Bayview is designated as York Regional Road 34.
2 Route description
3 Transit
4 Landmarks
Bayview Ave. sign in East York
Bayview Avenue follows the first concession line, laid 6,600 ft (2,000 m) east of Yonge Street. Over time, the concession road became known as East York Avenue, a reference to the division it formed between the city of Toronto and the township of East York.[2] In 1931, James Stanley McLean constructed "Bay View" (now known as McLean House), a house overlooking the Don Valley with a view south down to Toronto Bay, on the edge of Moore Park[3] and ultimately this led to the road becoming known as Bayview Avenue. On August 17, 1959, Bayview was extended south from Moore Avenue in Leaside to Front Street. The northern section of this extension was routed alongside Pottery Road to Nesbitt Drive. South of this, it wraps around a hill and descends into the Lower Don Valley, travelling parallel to the route of the Don Valley Parkway.[4]
Bloor Street Viaduct looking from east side of Don Valley to west. To right of viaduct is "Sugarloaf Hill", which was removed to build the Bayview Extension.
This addition is frequently referred to as the Bayview Extension. It was constructed as part of the Don Valley Parkway project, and necessitated the removal of "Sugarloaf Hill" directly north of the Bloor Street Viaduct. The extension fulfilled the "central spoke" in the building of the "Don Valley Roadway" as proposed in the 1940s. A route through the ravine to St. Clair Avenue was replaced with the present route which stays within the Don Valley proper. With the creations of the Corktown Common in 2013, the southern end of the Bayview Avenue Extension now terminates at Mill Street.
The list of streets removed or used to create the extension included:
Don Roadway West – from Front Street to Winchester Street
Marriott – from north of Bloor Street beginning at Park Drive (now Park Drive Reservation Trail)
In the late 1990s, York Region conducted several road needs studies near Lake Wilcox, which determined that the disjointed and disconnected Bayview Avenue should be connected from Stouffville Road in the south to Bloomington Road in the north. A lengthy battle ensued between environmentalists, upset over continuing construction in the supposedly protected Oak Ridges Moraine. The discovery of Jefferson salamanders in the study area resulted in several modifications to the design of the route, including a 70 m (230 ft) structure over a dry ravine, as well as five amphibian tunnels. On November 17, 2002, the new extension was opened, including a widened intersection at Stouffville Road. The former route of Bayview was turned into several short streets (Olde Bayview Avenue, Sunset Beach Road and Bayview Park Lane), which lie directly west of the new roadway.[5]
Bayview Avenue was once proposed to be renamed Kilgour Avenue by the town of Leaside, after Joseph Kilgour, whose widow sold his farm, Sunnybrook, to the city of Toronto on the condition that it never be developed. Today, Sunnybrook Hospital and Sunnybrook Park occupy those lands. While Bayview was never renamed, a recently[when?] constructed street south of the hospital carries the name Kilgour Road today.
Route description[edit]
The southern end of Bayview Avenue starts at Mill Street in Toronto's Corktown Common. For the first part of its route northward it runs through the Don Valley, on the West side of the river opposite the Don Valley Parkway. Along this stretch a steep cliff separates it from neighbourhoods such as Cabbagetown.
Bayview Avenue looking north from Lawrence Avenue
Bayview exits the Don Valley, passing through the Governor's Bridge neighbourhood and entering Leaside. It is the major commercial street for Leaside, home to many small shops and restaurants. North of Leaside Bayview runs across several tributaries of the Don River and is carried over one of them by the six-lane Bayview Bridge. This is the western portion of the wealthy Lawrence Park neighbourhood, and just to the east is the Bridle Path, the single wealthiest area of Toronto. A number of major institutions are found in this area including Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Glendon College, Toronto French School, The Granite Club, The Crescent School, and the Bob Rumball Centre for the Deaf.
North of York Mills Avenue Bayview becomes one of the major north-south arterials for suburban North York. It passes through the neighbourhoods of Bayview Village, Bayview Woods, Willowdale, and Newtonbrook.
It runs north beyond Steeles Avenue, Toronto's northern city limit, and continues north through York Region, where it is formally identified as York Regional Road 34. It is one of the main arterial roads for Thornhill and Richmond Hill. It then passes through the Oak Ridges Moraine, passing a number of parks and conservation areas. North of the moraine the street again enters urban areas, passing through Aurora and Newmarket. It ends in Newmarket where it turns into Prospect Street.
Bayview Avenue is also home to major places of worship of almost every major religious tradition including synagogues, an Islamic mosque, the city's largest evangelical churches, Canada's largest Buddhist Temple, Toronto's largest Eastern Orthodox cathedral, and Canada's only Zoroastrian Temple. These can all be found along a 15-kilometre section of the road.
Bayview south of Eglinton Avenue
Transit[edit]
The TTC bus route that services most of the length of Bayview Avenue within Toronto is the 11 Bayview, with the 28 Bayview South running south of it. Route 28 had originally been 28 Davisville, but it was modified in 2014. It now has full albeit less frequent service than the 11 Bayview route. From 2008-2014, the route ran its rush hour route on weekdays, then to the Brick Works during the day on weekends.[6] In York Region, YRT runs Routes 54 and 91, with Route 91 and its branch routes serving the portion of Bayview south of Oak Ridges, and Route 54 serving Aurora and Newmarket. Within the Don River valley, much of Bayview runs parallel to the Richmond Hill GO Transit line.
The routes mainly serving Bayview Avenue are:

Lilit Grigoryan / July 27, 2017
The IT sector in Armenia has grown dramatically since the Caucasus country's independence from the Soviet Union. It is the fastest growing sector of the economy, expanding by an average of 20% annually. Once considered to be a Silicon Valley of the USSR, Armenia has truly launched a triumph of various tech startups that are rapidly capturing the world.
One of the latest innovations to emerge from Armenia's IT sector has been the Volterman Smart Wallet. Volterman originated when a group of creative young men in Armenia, led by Azat Tovmasyan, came together to launch a startup. Tovmasyan had lost his wallet several times and wanted to devise a new means by which he could easily find it. Of course, it is not uncommon for people to lose their wallets in taxis, stores, cafés, or other locations. Few are lucky to find them successfully. In one instance, Tovmasyan's child hid his wallet, causing much concern until the wallet by found by accident. Eventually, the innovative talent of Tovmasyan and the Volterman team not only resolved this problem, but also forever changed the role and meaning of the wallet. Their groundbreaking Smart Wallet not only carries cash and cards. It also effectively replaces many functions of the cellphone.
The Smart Wallet has many distinct features and capabilities. It includes a Bluetooth alarm system that notifies the user of the location of his or her missing cellphone was left. Conversely, the cellphone can alert the user about his or her lost wallet. Moreover, if the missing wallet was stolen, Smart Wallet can identify the culprit. The device includes a tiny built-in camera that functions only when the wallet gets lost. It will take snapshot of the person who opened the wallet first and email his/her pictures to the original owner. It also has a Global GPS free tracking system that lets one know the precise location of the stolen wallet.
In addition, the innovative device has Wi-Fi Hotspot that will provide users with access to Internet all over the world making roaming services. It also has a built-in power bank that keeps one's cellphone charged all day long. It works either as a wireless device or with a hidden cable. Such a capability prevents those embarrassing and annoying situations when one's cellphone dies exactly when one needs it.
The Volterman Smart Wallet also boasts an elegant design and is absolutely light weight. Made from vegan or genuine leather (of your choice), the wallet is also waterproof. Overall, it is classy and handy to carry. An Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for the Smart Wallet took the internet by storm. The campaign exceeded expectations and hit the funding strip merely within one day. It is emblematic of the broader dynamic trends in Armenia's IT sector and of the growing importance of IT to Armenia's future economic development.

Q: READ for UPDATE in CICS If I use READ for UPDATE in reading a record from a file without a subsequent DELETE, REWRITE, UNLOCK, or SYNCPOINT command. Will something happen to the record being read?

A: Nothing happens to the record itself. A lock will be held on the record (and maybe on the control interval) until the DELETE, REWRITE, UNLOCK, or SYNCPOINT is issued.  See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-ts/5.6?topic=summary-read for the various locks that will be held based on the type of file and the access mode.  NOTE that a SYNCPOINT will be issued automatically at end of task. While it's a poor programming practice to fail to issue a command that will release the lock, CICS will take care of things at end of task.

Teen FBI Informant "White Boy Rick" Set for Prison Release
by Michael Sainato July 20, 2017, 9:00 pm 3 Comments
After 30 years in prison for a first time non-violent drug offense and advocacy for his release by FBI agents who he worked with, the Michigan Parole Board unanimously voted in favor of Rick Wershe's release.
Richard Wershe, known as "White Boy Rick," has served 30 years of a life sentence for possession with intent to deliver more than 650 grams of cocaine in Michigan. On July 14, the Michigan Parole Board voted unanimously to release Wershe, though he may have to be transferred to Florida to serve time for a car heist he plead guilty to in 2006 if Florida doesn't count time served in Michigan toward his sentence there. Wershe has been the longest serving prisoner in Michigan for a non-violent crime he committed as a juvenile at 17 years old, despite serving as a law enforcement informant since the age of 14. The case has incited controversy for decades because of the extreme sentencing Wershe was faced with and the fact that law enforcement pushed a juvenile into entering and becoming involved in a world of drugs for their own benefit.
The Detroit Free Press reported on July 14:
It started small with Wershe giving FBI agents the identities of people in pictures and grew from there, he said. At first, Wershe said, he thought it was cool that he worked for law enforcement, including the Detroit police, and got paid the first time he made a drug buy for them […] Wershe was put in the federal witness protection program in a Florida prison after he cooperated with FBI agents to bust corrupt police officers while in prison for the drug crime in Michigan. Retired FBI agent Herman Groman worked with Wershe on that operation, has fought for the inmate's freedom.
Retired FBI agent Greg Schwartz has also fought for Wershe's release and offered him help in starting his new life once released.
During Wershe's time as an informant, he helped officers convict 14 drug dealers and gangsters, including some of the biggest ones in the history of Detroit. Despite the assistance Wershe provided and the ethical concerns about law enforcement officers exploiting a teenager, he was initially sentenced to life without parole until drug sentencing laws changed. He has maintained throughout his prison sentence that police led him on a path to dealing drugs. Many of the big-time drug dealers he helped convict were released years ago. His life sentence as a juvenile has been linked to Detroit Mayor Coleman Young's vengeance against Wershe for assisting the FBI in exposing a corrupt Detroit Police drug ring that embarrassed his office and implicated many people close to the mayor.
Wershe has inspired a feature film currently in production starring Matthew McConnaughey as his father.
In response to the news that the parole board voted in favor of his release, Wershe told local Detroit News outlet Channel 4, "I cried man. I cried. I didn't know what I would do, you know? I mean, these people have been very nice and supportive, and I appreciate all of them, and the one who brought me the news has been so supportive, and I don't think there's a person that works here that thinks I belong in prison."

Dave Majkowski says:
"The news media bear a lot of the responsibility for the violation of Wershe's Eighth Amendment rights regarding cruel and unusual punishment. Reporters, editors and TV news directors have consistently failed to fact-check, to find the hard-fact basis for routinely describing this man in news coverage as a "drug lord" and "kingpin." It is journalistic irresponsibility at its worst.
For those who do not know, the Big Lie is a concept developed by the German dictator Adolph Hitler. "If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed," Hitler said. He believed if you tell a lie of colossal proportions and repeat it often, people will assume no one would have the audacity to distort the truth to such a degree so it must be true.
The urban myth that White Boy Rick Wershe was a drug dealer operating at the "kingpin" level in Detroit is a Big Lie repeated often, without question, by several generations of reporters and editors based on nothing.
The decades-long failure of numerous reporters to verify claims of a white "drug lord" in mostly black Detroit who was 16 to 18 years old. This is journalistic dereliction of duty of historic proportions. Overblown claims about Rick Wershe's importance in the Detroit drug underworld don't pass the smell test.
Journalism schools could offer courses on how shoddy fact-checking and the herd habit of rewriting each other's Wershe stories aided and abetted what appears to be an audacious vendetta to keep this man in prison until he dies because he helped the FBI investigate and prosecute drug-tainted political corruption in Detroit." – http://www.deadlinedetroit.com/articles/13306/vince_wade_detroit_media_smears_against_richard_wershe_jr_stretch_27_years#.WW6PEfmU0rg

Meet Rick Shepherd: Running for Nevada's Second District


This post was written by an external contributor. Alice Greedus wrote this piece on behalf of CV-Library, to demonstrate how to choose a CV that's best for you.
When writing your CV, a one-size-fits-all approach never works. After all, the structure and content will depend on your level of experience, skills and education amongst other factors. So, you must focus on your unique selling points to impress the hiring manager.
However, this can be difficult. There are many different ways to structure your CV and deciding which style suits your strengths can be hard. In this article, we explain how you can create one that showcases your qualities in the best way, to ensure you reach the shortlist.
Also known as the chronological or general CV, this is the most popular style that many professionals choose. It begins with your personal statement followed by work history, education, skills and hobbies or interests.
So, if you have previous experience in related roles within the industry (such as a placement year), this CV style may suit you. However, if you don't have any previous work history, but do have some brilliant work experience or internships to shout about, this structure is also fitting.
In every section, you should list your education and experience in reverse chronological order, based on the start and end dates. This means that your most recent experience will be listed first.
Finally, if you have an extensive work history or education to shout about, you can exclude the hobbies and interests section. It's important that your CV isn't too lengthy (a maximum of two A4 sized pages works best) and you must only include the most relevant information.
Check out an example of a general/experience-based CV template.
If you've just completed your degree and are approaching the world of work, you need to stand out from the crowd. Therefore, an education focused layout might be best for you. Especially if you have little work history or experience and your degree is your key selling point.
This style is similar to the experience-based CV; however, your education will come before your previous employment to ensure that the focus is on your key strengths. You should still list everything by dates, with newer qualifications and experience before older ones.
This means you still need to begin with a personal statement and follow the order above (personal statement, education, work history, skills and hobbies and interests).
But, as your CV may have a shorter work history section, you may wish to expand on your skills gained through education and/or your hobbies to sell yourself. For example, if any modules from your course are relevant to the job, you should absolutely mention them.
It may be that you had to do a presentation for an assessment and gained confidence when speaking in front of the class. Alternatively, maybe your dissertation can indicate your brilliant organisation and time management skills.
Check out our graduate CV template for more information.
This layout should focus on your most relevant skills and abilities. This could be your first pick if you're changing industries, your degree isn't related to the job you're applying for, or if you have gaps in your employment history.
You would still begin with your personal statement, but then you would need to list your key skills and give examples of how you have gained and developed these. For example, you may want to focus on 'communication' 'organisation' and 'teamwork' as your core skills.
These would then each be individual headings where you explain your abilities in more detail. After the skills section you still need to include your education and employment history, in whichever order you choose.
This style can show how you can meet the employer's needs. It will be most effective if you can match up the skills the employer is looking for on the job advertisement to your abilities. So, if the employer wants a team player you would list team work as one of your key skills.
Check out our skills-based CV template.
It can be hard to know where to start when writing your CV but it's important you structure it in the most relevant way to highlight your strengths. After all, it should sell you and prove to the hiring manager that you meet their requirements.

The big bad world of journalism is hard to get into. Unless you have the right advice. Here are some resources that'll help you bag a journalism internship.


This was the sub-title of a recent joint letter from the Latin-rite Roman Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran heads of churches in Jerusalem. It appealed urgently for practical help with schools, emigration, housing and social institutions. Reminding the worldwide Christian fellowship of the decline of indigenous Christians in the Holy Land, it denounced violence and re-iterated the commitment of the three signatories 'to a non-violent struggle for peace, justice and reconciliation'. It referred to some tentative positive [political] signs, but enumerated nonetheless the various issues that bedevil this small parcel of biblical land today - including the separation wall that 'splinters our community in many pieces and makes it impossible to maintain normal family, economic and human relations'. It then called for a two-state solution with Jerusalem that is a capital for both peoples and a city of peace shared by Jews, Christians and Muslims.
The letter from Jerusalem coincided with an Open Letter on the Status of Jerusalem by the World Council of Churches. Its Commission on International Affairs warned that world attention is drawn to Gaza whilst Israel flouts International law as it intensifies its unilateral programmes to consolidate control over Jerusalem and the West Bank with the creation of a de facto border as a result of the wall, the disjointing of Jerusalem through further housing units and settlements, the threat to absentee property law by allowing confiscation of Palestinian property in Jerusalem and the new putative regulation that would require permits for Jerusalemite residents entering the West Bank.
The political concerns raised in both those ecumenical letters were also echoed in the findings of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The UN 2004 Report found that around half of the Palestinian population was living below the official poverty indicator [of $2.10], that unemployment had increased and that 'Palestinians continued to face problems reaching their places of work, schools and hospitals, and standards of health and education continued to deteriorate' and that 'even if rapid progress is made on the political front, unless this is translated into improvements in access, emergency humanitarian assistance continues to remain necessary'.
Notwithstanding those concerns, Israel still gave its go-ahead last month for the construction of 3,500 new housing units in E-1, a corridor connecting Jerusalem to the West Bank settlement of Ma'aleh Adumim . For the past 37 years of occupation, Israel has unfailingly invoked "security" as a justification for building well over 200 settlements and outposts on Palestinian land, and later linking them with Israeli-only motorways. It has done so to rid itself of well over 3.5 million Palestinians whilst at the same time keeping as much of their land as possible. This latest E-1 plan further accentuated Israel's policy of no to demography, yes to geography . It would cut the West Bank in half, allowing Israel to control Palestinian movement and insulate Jerusalem from the West Bank. With the combination of the separation wall and settlement-expansion, Palestinians now sadly configure no better than a cantonal state with no meaningful sovereignty, no viable territory, no coherent border controls, no freedom of movement, no access to their water resources or airspace, and no capital in east Jerusalem. They have been cornered by an Israel that has relied upon American 'assurances', the lamentable absence of the EU from the political field, and an impressive level of chutzpah and regional overconfidence.
As Jeff Halper, Coordinator of ICAHD, wrote recently, this latest E-1 decision could well and truly seal the fate of a future Palestinian state. Indeed, and in the process, it could also rip up the whole jurisprudence of thought about the contiguity of a future Palestine. Alas, even the maps at Oslo and later at Sharm el-Sheikh, let alone the Quartet-endorsed Road Map or the unofficial Israeli-Palestinian Geneva Initiative, offered more comparative 'viability' for a an eventual Palestinian state. Now, it is alarmingly clear that Palestinians are coming close to being 'offered' a 21st-century model of a Bantustan . This is a perilous tactical choice that will prove to be a major strategic error. Although think tanks or analysts such as the American Enterprise Institute and Michael Scott Doran (Foreign Affairs, 16 March 2005) have argued that Palestine is no longer the pivot of the Middle East and does not provide the fulcrum for its future overall stability, I believe that force-feeding Palestinians with a flawed 'formula' could possibly work in the short-term but would doubtless backfire in the long-term. Middle Eastern greater initiatives for peace, democracy and economic growth meant to transform the region cannot succeed if they are forced upon a people without their consent. This applies for Palestine as much as it does for other countries. Change is dreadfully necessary in the whole region, and resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would unmask the ludicrous claim by Arab leaders that they cannot proceed with internal reforms without first securing a resolution to the conflict. Anyone who thinks otherwise, or hopes that Palestinians can persevere forever in their Sisyphus-like efforts, is naïvely academic and woefully ignorant of the harsh realities of the region.

APC Denounces Dangote As Party Member
Presidency says Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who is not a card-carrying member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), cannot be the party's Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
Recalled that the Nigerian foremost business tycoon had erroneously been announced on Friday.
A statement earlier issued by the presidential aide had named Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Adams Ohiohmole, Bola Tinubu, Sen. Ahmed Lawan, Femi Gbajabiamila, Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola as members of the Special Advisory Committee to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Other members of the Council, according to the statement, are Chief Bisi Akande, Chief John Oyegun, Sen. Ita Enang, All APC serving Senators and All APC serving and former Governors.
However, Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, made the clarification in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
The statement read, "It has become imperative to further clarify the status of Alhaji Aliko Dangote, named under the sub-head ADVISORY MEMBERS in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council announced on Friday, December 28, 2018.
"Africa's richest man, not being a card-carrying member of APC, cannot, and is not member of the PCC.
"He is also a member of the Peace Committee, and thus cannot be in a partisan campaign council.''


ATC Loudspeakers - ATC Loudspeaker Monitors from Funky Junk Ltd.
My first encounter with ATC was back in the good ol` 1970's when I operated one of the largest (and most chaotic) PA hire firms outside London. Our staple diet was Midas outfront mixing consoles and humungous loudspeaker stacks – JBL or Cerwin-Vega bass bins, vicious JBL horns and astonishing nine inch midrange drivers mounted in pairs in horn loaded flares. These were manufactured by a small loudspeaker company called ATC, who shared North London premises with CP cases and Neil Grant's Eastlake PA speaker company.
ATC were pretty unique for a UK company back in those days, having designed their own, radically different, loudspeakers rather than relying on the more conservative designs of American megaliths such as JBL, Electrovoice and Altec. In the cutthroat world of loudspeaker manufacturers, it should have been impossible for a minnow such as ATC to survive, but survive they did – a testament to the genuinely superior quality and performance of their drivers.
I spent much of the 1980's managing bands and record producers, and was pleased to see ATC monitors cropping up in more and more of the studios I visited. It was hardly surprising, as they always sounded great. I was to learn the secret of their popularity with professionals, however, when tackling a disconcerting problem with the private studio of my friend and client, producer David Lord.
David had the best 'ears' of anyone I have encountered in this business, and his productions have stood the test of time (Peter Gabriel Four, Corgis, Echo and The Bunnymen 'Killing Moon' and countless others). He is the only producer I've ever worked with who delivered mixes that needed next to no eq'ing or compression at the cut (as Tim Young and others will confirm). However, when he relocated from Crescent Studios in Bath to a smaller, private facility, suddenly his mixes (which were glorious in the studio) sounded strangely dull at the cut. We eventually traced the problem to his monitors, a three way system with a sweet and sparkly ribbon tweeter made by a very famous and well-respected manufacturer. These monitors were a joy to work with – too much so, as everything sounded wonderful in the control room. In fact, the speakers were too flattering, particularly at the top and bottom end, which would have been fine for hifi speakers but was disastrous for accurate monitoring.
After extensive trials, Bob at ATC sent up a pair of SCM20's for David to check out. At first they sounded harsh and cold compared to the previous incumbents. However, tracks mixed on them transferred seamlessly to the cutting room. The ATC's stayed put.
I learnt a valuable lesson from this process. In particular, I realised the extent to which a studio monitor differs from a hifi speaker. Good monitors are crucial to recording. They must allow the engineer to hear every nuance, every whisper, every glitch and every tickle of the music, whether tracking or mixing. Definition must be precise and imaging accurate. More than anything, studio monitors must reflect the true sound of the mix and not smooth out the edges or flatter the sound. The best monitors may not be the most pleasing to listen to, and it may be a struggle to produce a mix on accurate monitors, but believe me, if your mix sounds good on ATC's it'll sound good in the cutting room and sound stupendous on a decent hifi. It is far better to choose truth in your monitors rather than fall back on more comfortable speakers that may well flatter to deceive.
Many of my clients rely upon ATC's (not always supplied by me, I hasten to add). Check the spec of Europe's top studios and you'll be amazed how many use ATC's. I'm delighted to say that ATC are increasingly making inroads into the US market, for obvious reasons – in my humble opinion, ATC are unrivalled for main monitoring.

Q: Condition Variable notify_one notify_all I'm trying to learn the condition variables, and I'm stuck at the following example. I thought that notify_one on consumers should unlock only one waiting consumer. But after starting it repeatedly it seems to me that this isn't the case. I've changed notify_one into notify_all and haven't noticed a change in behavior. After the producer calls notify_one on consumers I can see Get… being written on screen by more then one consumer.
Why is this happening?
#include <iostream>           // std::cout
#include <thread>             // std::thread
#include <mutex>              // std::mutex, std::unique_lock

Mattie Sade, the Overseer's in-house propagandist, only meets Hope in Episode 3, but she makes up in mystery what she lacks in screen-time. République writer Brendan Murphy answered some fans' questions about Mattie's origins and background.
Q: What was the inspiration behind Mattie Sade?
Murphy: For République, we wanted a journalist who represented the state—someone whose sole job was to protect the people in power. Mattie Sade is a propagandist, the opposite of a true journalist. If you scramble the letters in her name, you get "State Media." That's who she is.
Q: How did Mattie come aboard Metamorphosis?
Murphy: There are some audio logs in Episode 3 and beyond that offer glimpses into her backstory. Mattie always had a shaky relationship with the truth—she liked a good story better than the facts. The Overseer promised her an opportunity to run a news organization where facts didn't matter, which was an offer she couldn't refuse!
Q: Why did the Overseer scout her, specifically, for his propaganda machine?
Murphy: Before bringing her into his employ, the Overseer read an article Mattie wrote which attacked one of his political enemies. He liked Mattie's cutthroat style and admired how gracefully she danced around the truth.
Q: Why did she have a change of heart regarding Hope?
Murphy: A lot of people trapped in Metamorphosis arrived there voluntarily. When they saw what was really going on—the worst of it—they instantly regretted their decision. Mattie made a career out of spinning lies to sell newspapers, and she was corrupt beyond saving, but she couldn't abide what was happening to Hope. Plus, an escaped Pre-Cal makes for quite a news story, depending on how you spin it.
Q: Mattie has access to a lot of information in Metamorphosis. How much of Hope and the player's activities did she know before Hope arrived in her office?
Murphy: Mattie knew a Pre-Cal had escaped. She probably wasn't monitoring Hope's every move, as it all happened over the course of one night. Still, Mattie wasn't surprised when Hope tiptoed into her office.
Q: Where is Mattie at the end of République?
Murphy: Mattie's pretty wily. If Metamorphosis fell in the end, she probably made it out of there. If she had to face criminal justice for her complicity in all of it, I think she probably talked her way out of that jam, too. Mattie Sade always lands on her feet, even after a bottle of wine.


It's time to start deadheading and removing spent flowers from your precious plants. If you haven't already, they may be starting to look a little ragged. We still have a good month or more of heat. The sudden climate changes we experience in Southern California can really be hard on your plants.
Many plants will benefit--and even rebloom--after a mid-summer session of "deadheading," that is, removing spent flowers and/or stems to promote new growth.
Do an overall snip of dead blooms (about 2" below the flower) on blanketflower, columbine, globe thistle, goldenrod, geranium, Jacob's ladder, salvia, coreopsis/tickseed.
Cut off the entire spent flower stem to either a side shoot or to the plant's base on baby's breath, bleeding heart, cardinal flower, catmint, coral bells, foamflower, gaura, Jupiter's beard, lavender, lupine, mullein, painted daisy, pincushion flower, coneflower, Shasta daisy, speedwell, spiderwort, Stoke's aster.


Self Description: It's been long since I got divorced and really hope to find someone who is willing to spend the rest of life together. There is awlays a smile on my face, so you will never get bored. I hope you like to eat healthy food, I never drink, never smoke, never drug, it's also the way I teach my children, sometimes I think I am very traditional. Do you like it?
Comments: If you are a gentle man with great sense of humor, that will be great! Waiting for your response.

Every once in a while it's nice to throw restraint to the wind. This is why molten chocolate desserts, lipstick like red patent leather, and Douglas Sirk movies exist. To me, Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme, with its over-the-top nutty sweetness, fits this category.
Noir Pour Femme's notes include mandarin, bitter orange, ginger, rose absolute, jasmine accord, orange blossom, Indian kulfi accord, Madagascar vanilla, amber, Australian sandalwood, and lentisque resinoid. (Indian kulfi is a rich, dairy-based frozen dessert; lentisque is an evergreen shrub; and a resinoid is the extract of a shrub.) Perfumer Sonia Constant developed it.
Noir Pour Femme is a gourmand oriental fragrance. At its heart is a thick woody-ambery tobacco scent — whether it actually has tobacco or if it's a play of the notes, I don't know — wrapped in hazelnut dust and bittersweet chocolate. It's dense and sweet. If the fragrance's core were an object, it would be a cocoa brown velvet mattress.
At the perfume's edges are a bit of orange and a bare veil of rose and jasmine that don't lighten the fragrance much, but that remind you that Noir Pour Femme is a perfume and not a cake. These floral notes are dwarfed by the fragrance's whole package, though, sort of like a hippo wearing lacy socks. You see the hippo first.
Within an hour on my skin, the fragrance telescopes to a woody vanilla amber with robust sillage. In the heat, Noir Pour Femme could asphyxiate an entire tram's passengers, but in cool weather it would wear warm and silky. It lasts about five hours before I have to press my nose to my arm for a hint of vanilla.
If you like Tom Ford Black Orchid except for the fruit, or if Yves Saint Laurent Opium appeals to you but you'd rather it were less spicy and more delicious, you might want to try Noir Pour Femme.
Although there's definitely a time to indulge, sometimes eating the whole molten chocolate cake or living up to the shiny red lips for an entire day is too much. Like these things, Noir Pour Femme might be best taken in small doses. It's easy to love, but easy to overdo. This is a fragrance I'd like to have in a mini or a 10 ml decant. I'd set it next to my mini of Chopard Casmir Parfum and wait for snow.
Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme Eau de Parfum is available in 30 ml ($85); 50 ml ($115); and 100 ml ($165) sizes.
Angela, this sounds scrumptious! "Cocoa brown velvet mattress" — I've never seen such a thing, but now that you've conjured it, I really wish I had one. I have an unfortunate lack of self-discipline around edible scents (if you see what I mean) so I'm rather grateful that TF perfumes aren't available in A-NZ. If they were, I suspect I'd be in like a robber's dog, and that a full bottle would be mine by noon!
I love that expression "like a robber's dog"! I've never heard it.
I hope you get the chance to smell this one some time. I didn't realize that the Tom Fords weren't available there.
Or, "…like a rat up a drainpipe"? Very "down under" expressions.
I have no idea why the stores here don't carry TF. I should have thought it would be a great seller, but maybe they feel the range is too big for our tiny population.
Oh, rat up a drainpipe is brilliant!
'Disappear like a rat up a drainpipe' is another old fashioned A/NZ expression. I modified it the other day to describe how I felt after the 24 hour flight home from Paris – 'like a rat rejected by a drainpipe'.
Oh, I love a face like a robber's dog. I can't believe I'd never heard it. I well understand the rat-drainpipe-brutal flight analogy, too.
Waterdragon, im pretty sure all David Jones city stores have a Tom Ford counter with the full range, and Myer city stores have a smaller range. If lil ol Perth does, im guessing Sydney/melb do!
Angela, I tried this and liked it except it skewed very unisex on me. Did you find it that way?
I definitely thought it could be worn by any gender, but I didn't find it overly masculine. Did it smell too masculine on you?
It didn't smell too masculine in general, just more masculine than I am comfortable with on me. I have a sample and will try it again, I do love the sweetness of it.
Maybe it's the tobacco-like smell that does that.
Such a lovely review! I've tried Noir once on paper and don't remember being impressed (I don't remember much at all, to be honest), but now I must try again.
I'm not sure I need a full bottle of Noir Pour Femme, but I could definitely see craving it on rare occasions. If you try it again, do let me know what you think!
Great review! I was wandering about my local Nordstrom the other week and they had jars of samples of this laid out for folks to grab. I helped myself to one and confess I've yet to actually wear it. It's been beastly hot, though, so maybe that's a good thing. Perhaps I'll wait til fall.
Smart move. With a chill in the air and a cashmere sweater you might like it best.
This sounds lush! Some days I want a perfume that 'frosts' me as is I were some divine baked goodire and this sounds just the thing. Great review!
Hey, I never thought of it as olfactory frosting, but it kind of is!
I haven't tried Creme Brûlée, but I'm with you 100% on Casmir.
Is frosting not too cold for this perfume? Am I missing something here? I think I may have just fallen into a cultural black hole of ignorance.
I think we're talking about the kind of frosting you put on a cake. "Icing" is another word for it. Funny–I never thought about the fact that both frosting and icing are "cold" words. Really, though, it's just sugar and fat whipped together.
Aha. I see. Yes, I know the word "icing" in the context of cakes, but not "frosting".
Good! You've opened my eyes, too, to these words.
As delicious as an orange chocolate brownie with a side of pipe tobacco on a sandalwood platter.
So glad it´s not in the super expensive range and there is a 30 ml bottle. I really want to smell this one, it sounds like my kind of thing.
A 30 ml bottle is good. Really, I think half that would be perfect for me.
Will try this, liked the original Noir (Pour Homme now?), Noir Extreme not as much. Alliage and Aromatics Elixir are my go-to "too much but I love it" scents at the moment.
Lovely review-will have to give it a try the next time I stop at a beauty counter.
I have never fell in love with any of his fragrances. I found some to be not very long lasting on me. This one sounds like you may have to scrub it off if you don't like it.
It lasted a good long time on me, but perhaps not as long as I might have thought given the fragrance's weight.
I cannot tell if I am interested or turned off from this fragrance… but I enjoyed the review very much!
That's kind of how I felt about it once I tried it! I'm glad you enjoyed the review.
My husband brought a card sample home an hour or so ago. I think it would make a deliceous candle or hair conditioner, but im not terribly tempted by it really.
It really is an assertive fragrance, and I can see where not everyone would want to wear it on skin.
I tried it on paper about a month ago and thought it smelled like Noir Extreme which I also like in small doses in the cold. I'll have to try this on skin. They had all the Noirs next to each other and the SA was helping someone through the confusion. I think they should have put "pour femme" under the title.
I haven't tried Noir Extreme, and my only experience with the "pour homme" version is smelling on someone's skin (where it smelled very nice).
Nice review and perfect timing. Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme is my SOTD today and yesterday and I am enjoying it a lot! I love gourmands and this is so easy to wear. I smell the fruity top notes and the creamy vanilla but not much tobacco and I couldn't tease out any specific flowers but I know it's there. It is also powdery. This actually reminds me of Dior Addict but without the initial harshness in Addict. I'm afraid to wear more than 3 half-spritzes because it packs a punch in the first few hours; however, it doesn't last all that long before it turns into a vanillic / tonka-beanish dry down that is still going on 12 hours later!
I am all set with a cute 30 mL bottle.
Perfect! I'm glad you like it. I didn't get much powder (for those powder-phobes) but I'm glad to hear your experience of it. Thanks!
Oooh. Must not blind buy, must not blind buy, must not blind buy… Even though it has all the notes I love and when I'm alone, I can practically take a bath in Black Orchid or Angel. Angela, this sounds delicious. I'll have to track down samples at the very least.
Try a sample first! If you love it, it will still be there for you.
Your very descriptive use of words allows me to visualize and smell the fragrance. I'm sure your English teachers adored you. You had me sold until I saw the word tobacco. Anything that smells like tobacco screams masculine to me. When I was a little girl, my dad always smoked a pipe. He used to take me to the tobacco store in the mall with all the time. Although I loved and still love the smells of tobacco, I don't want to smell like one. I never thought I would say this about a TF fragrance, but I think I will pass.
Thank you, and I'm glad I at least allowed you to rule it out! Do give it a smell, though, if you have the chance. Maybe the tobacco will work for you this time–or not.
Hold on a sec – there's an Indian kulfi accord?!? It's a real thing? I don't need the perfume, but I'd love to get my hands on this accord.
I'm not sure you'd be able to suss it out of this perfume, but maybe the accord will surface somewhere else for you. I've never had kulfi, but after reading the description, I'd love to try it.
Lisa D, L'Aromatica has a kulfi perfume. I have a sample of the oil version, and it's great! I am tempted to buy it in the oil and alcohol-based versions.
kindcrow, I've tried a sample of that, and I thought it was fantastic! Hey, maybe when Splitmeet comes up, we can go in on a bottle of the EdT…….
For whatever reason–possibly because I'm overwhelmed by the selection–I'm never tempted to try Tom Fords (except Violet Blonde, which I liked). You made this sound so delicious, though, that I went to Sephora over my lunch break and got a sample.
Noir Pour Femme is worlds away from Violet Blonde. What did you think?
I actually ended up liking it. I sprayed it on paper first and it seemed like it might be too sweet for even me, but on my skin, it ended up being smoother and nuttier. Sometimes I forget I'm a huge gourmand fan, but this was instantly approachable and reminded me that sampling doesn't always have to feel like work. Yum.
It would be awful if sampling felt like work! I'm glad this one wasn't a big fail on you.
I received a bottle as a sample and was afraid a bit – Violet Blonde was really bad imho.
This one (I do not need to describe it any further!) is really nice, and really fall appropraite. I even used two sprays of it – but not near my head, I sprayed it on my clothes, more on the hips sounds strange, I know!
The scent develops nicely and is comfy, and is not cloying to me.
This is a really good development for the regular TF brand, as this is also more affordable.
Although it does not really remind of Sensuous by Estee Lauder – if you liked the latter, you might like the darker and stronger als sultrier version of it.
Sorry for the typos: I mean darker, and stronger, and sultrier version.
Oh, typos are so hard to avoid, especially on a small keyboard.
Thank you for sharing your mini-review here!
Sorry but for me this was really boring. I bought a sample from STC and was so looking forward to it but its just sweet sweet "cashmerean" woody nothing. So much like Narciso but that was good and different when it came out and I even bought a fb – only one. So I have gone back to my SL samples and am going to treat myself to another bottle of Fille en Aiguilles for the winter…at least with SL you know you're getting masterpiece – IMHO.
Filles en Aiguilles is fabulous for winter. You'll smell terrific!
When I read "If you like Tom Ford Black Orchid except for the fruit, or if Yves Saint Laurent Opium appeals to you but you'd rather it were less spicy and more delicious, you might want to try Noir Pour Femme.", I knew I had to have it. The above fits me to a T. I've always had difficulties dissecting notes in TF's perfumes. This one is no different. But it's smooth and easy to wear for me so I don't care. I love it.
That's fabulous! I love it when the right person finds the right perfume.

H. Arscott
War dead Male Born 31/3/1881 Died 2/7/1916
Andrew Behan has kindly provided this research: Sapper Henry Arscott was born on 31 March 1881 in Hampstead, the younger son of William and Frances Arscott. His father was a house painter. The 1881 census that was taken on 3 April 1881 shows him as a 3 days old boy living at 37 Downshire Hill, Hampstead, with his parents, elder brother William Arscott, a 14 years old female general domestic servant and a 45 years old monthly nurse. The 1891 census shows him living at 40 Downshire Hill, Hampstead, with his parents, his brother, a 14 years old female servant together with one female and two male lodgers. His mother died in early 1901 and the census of that year shows him as a Plumber's Assistant living at 44 Shirlock Road, Hampstead, with his widowed father and his brother.
In the 3rd quarter of 1902 he is recorded as marrying Ethel Pickman in the St Pancras Registration District. Her occupation on the 1901 census was a Barmaid and their elder daughter, Frances Ethel Arscott (1903-1986), was born on 11 August 1903 in Hampstead. Their elder son, Stanley Harry Arscott (1905-1962), was born in 1905 and when baptised on 2 March 1905 in the chapel of Queen Charlotte's Hospital, Marylebone Road, Marylebone, the baptismal register shows the family home to have been 16 Gardeners Road, Hampstead Heath and gave the father's occupation as a Plumber. Their younger son, Eric Arscott (1907-1976) was born on 16 January 1907 at Queen Charlotte's Hospital and his birth certificate shows his father as a Builders Labourer living at 6 Heath Villa, Hampstead Heath. Their younger daughter, Barbara Lily Marion Arscott (1909-1999), was born on 11 September 1909 in Hampstead. The 1911 census shows him as a Plumber residing with all his family at 9 New Buildings, Flask Walk, Hampstead. It would appear that in 1912 his wife left with all four children to live with another man, probably Harry Hinds whom she married in 1917 having lived with him as Mrs Hinds before the marriage.
On 9 September 1914 at St Pancras he enlisted as a Sapper in the Royal Engineers and his service number was 48778. On 8 October 1914 he was posted to their 92nd Field Company and when based at Codford St Mary, Wiltshire, he went absent without leave for 22 hours from midnight on 12 July 1915 to 10pm on 13 July 1915 and was sentenced to 4 days confinement to camp and the loss of one days pay. He was embarked on 27 July 1915 for the British Expeditionary Force in France, arriving on the following day, and was killed in action on 2 July 1916. His body was buried in Row U, Grave 34 in the Carnoy Military Cemetery, Carnoy, Somme, Picardy, France. His widow was sent his army effects totalling 15 shillings and 8 pence on 14 November 1916 and his £8-0s-0d war gratuity on 1 July 1919. He was posthumously awarded the 1914-1915 Star, the British War Medal 1914-1918 and the Victory Medal.

The Musée Curie is a historical museum focusing on radiological research. It is located in the 5th arrondissement at 1, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France, and open Wednesday to Saturday, from 1pm to 5pm; admission is free. The museum was renovated in 2012, thanks to a donation from Ève Curie.The museum was established in 1934, after Curie's death, on the ground floor of the Curie Pavilion of the Institut du Radium. It was formerly Marie Curie's laboratory, built 1911-1914, and where she performed research from 1914-1934. In this laboratory her daughter and son-in-law Irène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie discovered artificial radioactivity, for which they received the 1935 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.The museum contains a permanent historical exhibition on radioactivity and its applications, notably in medicine, focusing primarily on the Curies, and displays some of the most important research apparatus used before 1940. It also contains a center for historical resource which holds archives, photographs, and documentation on the Curies, Joliot-Curies, the Institut Curie, and the history of radioactivity and oncology.
Plan to visit Musee Curie during your Paris vacation using our convenient Paris online holiday planner .
A space that honors French research. A fairly limited surface to not scare or weary the children while being large enough and varied to give a good idea of the topic addressed. You can't get into the lab and the Office, but the doors and clearances are a great opportunity to contemplate them. The explanations are very affordable. The small garden is very good as well as the works of C215 that remain sober enough not to be in conflict with the places. Activity to recommend in the Latin quarter.
this museum was unexpectedly small for such an important historical figure, however it was nice to see Mary curious to laboratories, chemistry and physics. the staff is extremely friendly and this museum is free! Very good if you're into science or science history.
This is a small but interesting museum. It included Pierre's office, and Marie's lab. It is free, which was nice. And there was a nice bathroom in a different building. If you're in the area, such a visiting the Pantheon, or if you're interested in the Curie family, it's worth a stop.

Piano Vintage
A new piano at your fingertips ...
What is Piano Vintage?
Piano Vintage is a type of restoration dictated from a work philosophy and derived from the experience of the "Steinway Academy" pianoforte technician, Andrea De Biasi, in collaboration with the cabinet maker and Master Carpenter Tommaso Busetto along with the "Steinway Academy" technician Lorenzo Cernaez.
Come nasce Piano Vintage
This project was born from a passion matured primarily through pianistic studies and followed by technical and tuning experience. As the pianist must make the intention of the music author flourish in each musical piece so also the technician must be the means through which the intention of the original piano maker is revitalized. An intention certainly not casual, but projected for an accurate sound quality. The work of the restorer consists in understanding the constructive details and the logic of every minute step towards a precise expressive sound finale, assisted by technological and scientific means and not least of all with his heart and instinct. Verifying that each instrument possesses its own identity intended by its maker, that which the restorer must draw forth from an objective base (sound balance, length of sound, sound quality, uniformity etc.) to evolve in unity, making evident the detail and multiple facets. The greatest risk for the restorer is to insist on a certain type of sound quality result for the project on hand but which is completely alien to the identity of the instrument. From here we see the diversity of Piano Vintage restoration. The possibility of restoring the soul of the pianoforte exists already or rather the restoration of the sound board according to even the heist level of workmanship. Our type of restoration however recuperates the unique identity of each instrument, applying particular techniques that diversify and characterize each sound board according to its original type.
How does Piano Vintage operate?
The pianoforte demonstrates two essential components:
the rim (fixed elements not subject to deterioration) That identifies the project.
the sound board-cords-hammers that express the acoustic phenomenon by means of the mechanical transmission of the whole keyboard and action bracket with all its components. On all of this complex apparatus the restoration operation takes place.
Our workshop is capable of renewing the original sound by the recuperation of the original sound board with innovated techniques aimed at giving back its internal energy, insuring a quality that answers the most demanding expectations.
Where it is impossible to recuperate the original sound board we are capable of creating a completely new one, conforming faithfully to the original, giving a new voice to the pianoforte and maintaining nevertheless, the characteristic sound qualities peculiar to each instrument. Each sound board is reproduced by rebuilding its original form and energetic structure which is the result of the unique and exclusive technical process of Piano Vintage's constructive patent.
The holding capacity of the tuning, in the course of time, is guaranteed by the substitution of the pin block in a mass of layered, crossed American maple wood.
The restoration of the mechanics are meticulously evaluated to obtain the maximum dynamic sound control and guarantee trustworthiness at a professional level. The possibilities that Piano Vintage offer are:
new and appropriate components
a remake in compliance with the original
restoration of the original parts
For whom is Piano Vintage intended?
Piano Vintage is intended for all those whose desire is to have the maximum trustworthy union between sound quality and mechanics and who also desire to find inspiration from music pieces stimulated by an antique pianoforte or even a second-hand one, made valuable by an innovated and professional restoration. Piano Vintage's restoration style offers and guarantees the possibility of playing instruments at concerts of a high caliber.
This complex type of intervention defines the originality of this form of restoration. Essentially it is much different from any other form of renewal or restoration available.
The trade-mark Piano Vintage values instruments even though past productivity or antique and they rediscover their working capacity, sound characteristics, fascination, quality and artistic beauty at the same level as contemporary professional instruments.
The purpose of Piano Vintage
The scope of our work is, above all, to satisfy your needs while surpassing all your expectations. All through our projected exclusive procedure, professionalism and competence allows us to reach the target for the best possible sound.
