It's happening, folks!
"Sex and the City" is coming back–but it's missing one key character
by Amy Woodyatt, CNN
Updated 7:43 AM ET, Mon January 11, 2021
(CNN) "Sex and the City" will return to the screen, 17 years after its last episode aired, HBO Max has confirmed.
Titled "And Just Like That…", the reboot will star three of the four original leads of the hit '90s show, with Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis set to reprise the roles of Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte.
Kim Cattrall, who starred as Samantha in the original show, won't return for the rebooted series, which will be executive-produced by Parker, Davis, Nixon, and Michael Patrick King.
Described by HBO Max as a "new chapter" of the hit '90s and '00s show, the 10-episode series will follow Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte as they navigate their life in their 50s, and is scheduled to begin production in New York in spring.
The show was green-lit by HBO Max, WarnerMedia's streaming service, launched last year. WarnerMedia is the parent company of CNN.
Stars Parker, Nixon, and Davis all teased a trailer for the new series to their Instagram pages, though the preview, which featured shots of New York City alongside the text "And just like that… the story continues…" gave little detail about potential story lines for the women.
Based on the book by Candace Bushnell, the groundbreaking HBO series about four friends living in New York City premiered on HBO on June 6, 1998 and ran until 2004. Subsequent movies were released in 2008 and 2010.
I really hope it is as good as the original series (althoug I will miss Samantha)

I'm glad Kim Cattrall is not returning. I don't support giving roles to Polanski defenders.
It's about the chaotic editing in Moulin Rouge!
I remember when talk of the third film surfaced, supposedly it was going to open with Samantha's funeral (I'm guessing a cancer reoccurrence), and that would be the springboard for what followed. I wonder if that approach, or something similar, will happen here. It'll royally piss off Kim Cattrall, which might make SJP want to do it even more lol.

It was reported that all 3 ladies will be executive producers and make $1 million dollars each per episode with 10 episodes in total.
Imagine being so bitter and hating your cast mates or a role so much that has given you so much that you are willing to reject $10 million and producer credit. Like… huh???

Tim Van Patten and Sarah Jessica Parker did such a good job on the original series finale. The show's legacy has been transformed with the movies that have been entirely commercial ventures. Like most reboots, there is not really a good creative reason to do this and the writers have not gone onto better things in the meantime. There is actually a good creative reason not to do this, since they are changing the DNA of the show. So this is going to go the way of most of the other revivals, getting lukewarm reviews and being an afterthought to the Emmys. Will be easy viewing though.

To be it seems kind of admirable for her to turn down all that money for something she doesn't feel will be creatively fulfilling. The reason she has always given for not returning is that she doesn't have any desire to return to the character.
It won't be the same without Samatha. She's the "sex" in the show's title.
I came across the episode where Carrie meets a cute black sailor. For whatever reason, Carrie didn't even kiss him. It didn't strike me as odd then. But now, I feel like it was on purpose. SJP hides her ish well. And I suspect that she wasn't entirely happy with Kim being the breakout star.
The feud between Parker and Cattrall is the central reason for Cattrall's absence. She isn't above paycheck roles or cares too much about Samantha's continued character development, I think.
January 12, 2021 at 2:15 am #1203978895
I didn't care for all the behind the scenes drama. I'll watch the show, hoping it returns to some semblance of its former self, but I'm skeptical.
lvigario
I don't know but I want them to have Tiffany Haddish as "new" friend.
I read somewhere that people were suggesting Jennifer Coolidge to do Samantha. But I don't think that the character should be replaced nor I think it's fair. …. With that being said I would like to see Jennifer Coolidge in this.

This could work if the writing is strong and the storylines are realistic and engaging. Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda are interesting people in their own right and just need to have stories that reflect what life is like as fifty-something married women in NYC. Hopefully, the writer who penned the script for the second movie is not involved with this project. Although the first movie was decent, the problem with taking this series to the big screen is it works best in short 25 minute episodes. Same with Entourage – the Sex and the City for men.
About Samantha. Yep, you could say she was the sex in the city, but each of the women had plenty afternoon, evening and morning delights. Let's be real. It will be interesting to see how the show fares without her, but it can work. I mean, Samantha did have one of the worst storylines – think three or four episodes as a lesbian. Not believable at all. Samantha give up men? Hated that. Then, on the other side, her bout with breast cancer was one of the most interesting written storylines. I just hope she hasn't died in the reboot. That would suck.
I'll guess we will see. I'll definitely give it a look.
Life is a thin thread.
We hang on tightly knowing
it will snap one day.

Showrunner Michael Patrick King was head writer, lead director and executive producer of the series, so you have to take the good with the bad. Although he will be working on this, they are apparently getting a new showrunner, which is odd.

I doubt Sarah Jessica Parker used her power as a producer of her own series to showcase that she would not kiss a black man. At least I certainly hope she wouldn't!
It's also worth noting that Parker has worked constantly in the industry for over 35 years and Cattrall is literally the only person to have ever said a bad word about her. I've also never heard of her behaving in any way disrespectful to anybody and is by all accounts lovely to crew members, colleagues, fans and strangers. Not to discredit Kim Cattrall, she seems very cool in real life too, but isn't it a little telling that the rest of the cast (and Jason Lewis who interacted with Kim most) have all sided with Parker? If she was really a nightmare, why would they have stood by her when this all happened well before the reboot was being discussed?
I've never seen SATC but enjoy both actors in other projects- Parker was excellent in Divorce.
Emmyfan
I think Sandra Bernhard was offered the role of Miranda, but turned it down because of the script and Sarah Jessica Parker.
I will tune in to watch, but I will not be surprised if this fizzles during the season. I did not really care for both movies. They were too long and they needed to cut about 20-25 minutes from each movie.

Inspired by a phrase commonly heard in schools, "I'm never going to use this in real life," this paper focuses on how students make real-world connections through project-based learning (PBL). Specifically, research is focused on how middle school teachers efficiently and effectively integrate social studies and literacy through PBL in addition to any challenges and successes they experienced. By observing and interviewing teachers who have implemented PBL, I found that there was an increased amount of motivation and positive attitudes towards the work, as well as a shifting role between the teacher and the students.
This three-part thesis contains a historiography and critique of the scholarship of American vernacular music. The last portion accompanies a project on integrating American Vernacular music into the NYS social studies curriculum.
With the current state of the economy and job market in the United States, it is imperative that students are college and workforce ready when they complete their public school education. Standards- based education provides solid foundation for educators to plan learning experiences that build from the prekindergarten to grade twelve. Standards-based education is widely accepted and utilized as we prepare today's' students' for success when facing tomorrow's challenges.
The purpose of this study was to compare the comprehension of content area material through the Reciprocal Teaching and the Basic Teaching Methods. The subjects involved were twenty-four students in a fourth grade urban school setting. There was one heterogeneously group of students who were instructed using the two different teaching strategies.
Current affairs are an important part of social studies. Text books are of little value to the classroom, because they cannot keep up with the ever changing state of current affairs. The challenge for educators is to find an alternative that facilitates learning and interest. In this master thesis, the author examined a high school to see if studying current affairs daily had increased student's interest in world events, if students maintained interest after completing two years of studying current events, and if the program improved students' knowledge of current events.
The purpose of the study was to introduce concepts of the Affective Response Approach to Literature to students in two seventh grade classrooms in order to determine whether the use of affective responses changes students' attitudes about reading and about social studies. Also measured was student achievement in both areas.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of the structured overview when used as a prereading activity with fifth and sixth grade social studies students. The study investigated the effects of the structured overview on the students' ability to answer questions which required recall of factual information, understanding vocabulary concepts and inferences to be drawn. The secondary purpose of the study was to determine if all students benefit similarly from the use of the structured overview.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a teacher directed approach versus an independent approach of teaching students to use context clues to determine word meaning. A randomized, two treatment, control group posttest design was used for the study. The sample consisted of 30 students (three classes) taught by the same team of instructors and equated in terms of age, reading level and pretreatment use of context clues.

Dover's building boom
Brian Early bearly@seacoastonline.com @briantemprano
DOVER — There are upwards of 15 major projects under construction or in the planning phases throughout the Garrison City.
Some might call it a boom, though boom is not a word that Dover's Economic Development Director Daniel Barufaldi would use. The word "boom," he says, signifies there is going to be a bust, and he doesn't believe a bust will happen, even if a 2008-like financial crisis occurred again. If anything, Dover's economic activity would plateau, not drift downward, he said. Instead, he prefers the word "sustainable."
"We're doing that well, and we're doing that well on a broad basis," he told Seacoast Sunday.
Barufaldi, in his most recent economic report released by the city manager this month, states there is an estimated $100 million in development underway in the city. A lot of that development is centered in and around downtown, with seven projects actively in the construction phase and more in the planning phase. Nearly all the construction includes residential units with a bottom floor of commercial space.
The construction downtown is a mix of filling in vacant spaces and replacing underutilized buildings, such as the new Orpheum Apartments under construction. It's at the site where the Robbins Auto Supply store stood on Washington Street. The same goes for Mechanic Street where tired structures were torn down, and new ones are in the process of being built.
The residential units of these projects, at least so far, have been quickly filled, Barufaldi said. Having more people downtown is part of what is driving the success downtown, he said.
"We recognized that a vibrant downtown was the only way to a sustainable community," said Barufaldi, who was hired in 2009 in the midst of the recession. One key to having a vibrant downtown is having a population with disposable income, he said. Over his tenure, he has worked to market the city as the place where professionals can live and still have easy access to desirable areas, like Boston. Every day upwards of 80 people take the early train to Boston, earning Boston salaries while having a lower cost of living in Dover, Barufaldi said. That doesn't count those who commute to Boston by bus or car.
Attracting an educated population with disposable income also helps sell the city to entrepreneurs who are seeking to start, relocate or expand. Today, "We have a self-nourishing system," Barufaldi said of Dover.
Assistant City Manager Chris Parker, who heads the Planning Department, credits the community for creating the vision for downtown during an update of the city's Master Plan in 2007. What came out of the master plan process was a desire to focus on infill and urban development rather than sprawling subdivisions, Parker said.
Commercial activity in Dover has been on the upswing since 2010, Parker says. And the activity downtown has been surging since 2015 where there has been at least $30 million in private investment, not counting any infrastructure investment by the city, like the parking garage and utility improvements, Parker said.
While many could point to the rising prices in nearby Portsmouth, Parker believes the whole region is benefiting from the Seacoast's charm.
Chad Kageleiry, a lifelong Dover resident and one of the primary developers in the city, agrees. "Seacoast New Hampshire is an attractive place to live," he said. Kageleiry sees Dover capitalizing on its pricing advantage. While only miles from Portsmouth, the residential prices are more modest. "Dover is close that it offers a lot of the same advantages (as Portsmouth)," said Kageleiry, who is principal of Summit Land Development. Having Pease Tradeport is a huge boon for the city as it is a major employer. "It has a lot going for it," he said of Dover. "It has a lot of good momentum. It has a lot of good features the market is obviously responding to."
Kageleiry has been in real estate since the 1980s, first brokering properties and then moving into development. In the 1980s, much of the growth was condos and single-family homes, he said. Today, there is more of a commercial balance, which is a healthier mix for Dover, he said. The product is also better. "The overall scale and quality are very different than it was 25 years ago," Kageleiry said.
One current Summit Land Development project is the rehabilitation and upgrades to the TD Bank building on the corner of Central Avenue and Washington Street, the gateway to downtown. It's perhaps the only project underway downtown solely focused on commercial space without a residential component. It was a space where he could have done residential on the top floor, but with the existing parking lot, he felt it would be a good sell for commercial. Kageleiry said the second floor, which sat vacant for years, was filled almost instantly after putting it on the market last year.
Not all development is downtown. On Glenwood and Central avenues on the northern end of town, is a commercial project by Hampton-based Tropic Star Development, which includes restaurants, a bank and an undisclosed grocery store. Near Exit 8 of the Spaulding Turnpike is the Silver Square development where the former dorm of McIntosh College has been renovated into a boutique hotel. The Residence at Silver Square, an independent and assisted living facility, also recently opened there. There are also future pads on the site already permitted and being marketed to potential businesses, Parker said.
In southern Dover, Summit Land Development, working with other developers, is creating a self-contained village called Pointe Place. Nine years in the making, there are already many residential homes in the development built by the local development firm Changing Places. The first phase of the village's center recently opened, with 25,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor and residential on top floors. Kageleiry is planning for additional buildings in the village, including a potential grocery store, which he feels is needed on the southern end of Dover.
While many feel the boom in Dover is unprecedented, Parker is quick to point out the building of residential units is still lower than it was in the 1970s and 1980s. Parker said from 2000 to 2016, there has been an average of 122 residential housing units authorized per year, with much of the development in the early 2000s. From 2010 to 2016, that number averaged only 91 units per year. In the 1970s, it averaged 171 per year, and in the 1980s, it averaged 259 per year.
The difference now, Parker said, is the action is happening where everyone can see it.

French Fashion & Clothes Shops UK
être cécile: The Growth of French Fashion Shops
être cécile is one such French fashion brand that draws upon the cleanliness of the French style. Here's more about the être cécile story and how it is growing to become one of the many beloved French clothes shops out there.
A Love of Prêt-à-Porter
Ready-to-wear French fashion exploded in popularity in the 1960's. Its genesis was driven by the needs of pop culture and mass media, unsettling the traditional notions of fashion that had reigned for decades.
Yé-Yé music, drawing on the energy of international bands like The Beatles, swept across France throughout the 60's and artists like Serge Gainsbourg, Chantal Goya and France Gall rode the wave to popularity. Their popularity, focus on pop and their appearance quickly created legions of adoring fans that wanted to emulate their fashion sense.
Ready-to-wear fashion – with its focus on accessibility and humour – has only continued to grow in popularity in the years since and the growth of the digital space has seen even more injections of playfulness into the style.
This style has resonated with être cécile customers, and it's reflective of our approach. The brand's tagline, "presque parisienne", pays homage to its origins and also shows how it's moving forward in its own direction.
International Growth
Since being founded by Yasmin Sewell and Kyle Robinson, être cécile has grown to have showrooms in Paris, New York and the native London of the two founders where the brand was first conceived.
The online store now offers a wide range of clothing, and there's truly something for everyone from t-shirts and sweatshirts to trousers, dresses and a wide range of overwear. Potential shoppers can also find a wide range of the products worn by models on the brand's Instagram page.
Online fashion shopping with être cécile
The brand offers a comprehensive online shopping experience to its customers. On the website, you can learn all you need to know about the range of products on offer, read product descriptions and choose from a range of sizes.
There are a wide range of delivery options depending on where you are shopping from, and the wishlist functionality makes it simple for browsers to keep track of the pieces that you want to purchase next.
Customers can also benefit from an awesome 15% off their first order after you've signed up for the brand's newsletter. If you're looking for unique and playful ready-to-wear pieces for your wardrobe, then be sure to check out être cécile.

Town prepares for agricultural show
Published: 11:20 PM April 29, 2003
Updated: 9:01 PM February 17, 2021
AS the anguish and the restrictions of the foot and mouth epidemic two years ago recede visitors to this year's 164th Hadleigh Show will see a return to normal in many of the show's traditional elements.
Last year, while restrictions were still in place, there were no sheep or goats, cattle had to be kept in a special area and that meant the usual finale to the day's events, the grand parade of prize-winners in the main ring, also could not take place.
Despite all that, the first show after the epidemic had cancelled all agricultural shows the previous year, saw a record number of visitors.
The organisers will be hoping that this year, with sheep and goats back in the competition classes and the grand parade reinstated, they will be able to push the visitor figures up even further.
The show is always held in the grounds of Holbecks Hall, the home of the late Sir Joshua Rowley.
His daughter Mrs Emily Holden has inherited her father's title as the show's honorary president as well as the task of presenting all the cups and rosettes at the grand parade.
Before the grand parade the main attraction in the Grand Ring will be the Kangaroo Kid, Matt Coulter, from Combs, who does motorbike and quad bike stunts.
Also as ever, the Essex and Suffolk Foxhounds, as well as the bloodhounds and beagles, will be in the ring, a feature eagerly looked forward to by the children who visit the show.
Local organisations, craft stalls and demonstrations, a food hall featuring local products, an art show and a flower show, will be in booths and marquees surrounding the main ring and Bert Stocks' fun fair will be close by.
Show director, arable farmer Martin Pratt, said there were still some restrictions to contend with, not least a new six-day movement rule imposed by Defra.
The rule means that any animals exhibited at a show must then be kept in isolation on their home farms for six days before they can be taken out again and this has meant that some farmers exhibiting at the South Suffolk Show the previous Sunday will not be able to come to Hadleigh on May 17.
But he said, space for stands had been over-subscribed and some had to be turned away, proving that this small, traditional agricultural show is still a favourite with farmers, exhibitors and visitors alike.


Truth meets convenient dramatization in McFarland, a middling piece of familial and societal uplift about love and community.
Rather loosely based on a true story set in 1987, Jim White (Kevin Costner) takes to the impoverished and Latino community of McFarland in California. It's the only place he can find a teaching job in order to support his wife and two daughters having been fired from his previous job for being too stern on his kids.
Forced to teach phys ed., White is dubbed 'blanco' by his less than enthused students, beginning what will very clearly be a slow bonding of disparate generations and communities. First fearful, second questioning, White, his wife (Maria Bello), and the kids slowly become acclimated to a community, but for the patriarch, it may be too much so.
For White, seeking to inspire as well as be inspired, is training McFarland's first ever cross country team in order to compete in the state championships. Dedicated to the students however means less time at home, and so does proceed a story about duty. More so though, because White sees in these kids, many of whom work as pickers in the fields before and after school, incredible raw talent, he begins to groom them in what is a rather formulaic underdog sports movie progression.
It's not just a typical sports movie; it's also a light middlebrow drama looking to gingerly bridge an apparent cultural divide. That is, McFarland can't help but hammer home its steady theme, as birthday party, family dinners, car washes, and other conversations and events remind the viewer that everyone can get along and learn from each other regardless of their background.
To its great credit, McFarland does quite well to enliven the act of cross country running where no one, not the audience or those coaches or family watching from the stands, knows who actually wins until a careful exercise in mathematic. Costner continues to thrive in the empathetic father role, as the man who eventually looks inward to become a better husband, leader, and person.
Unfortunately, the film runs a bit too far from the truth to be anything but a carefully crafted piece of controlled filmmaking (the real White arrived earlier, didn't quite have the same doubts or dramatic turns). For its good intentions and absolutely beautifully, sun-soaked California panoramas, McFarland starts to run on empty, exhausting the viewer with an exceedingly familiar story.
A stylish comedy thriller with more style than thrills.

An interview with Pearl Igho of the Onuesoke Foundation, one of the beneficiaries of ZODML's Ocean Waves Project.
What is the primary goal of the Onuesoke Foundation and what inspired its formation?
The primary goal of Onuesoke foundation has been rural community development and the physical environment which is now becoming a threat as a result of degradation and pollution. Seeing the neglect and abandonment of our cherished rural communities for the urban, leaving the main sources of good living for the cosmetic urban society and neglecting its development for human capacity building in health, agriculture sustainable environment, education and technology inspired the formation of the Onuesoke Foundation.
Hon. Sunny Onuesoke, a man with a passion for the development of rural people picked goal 2 and goal 7 of the millennium goals as his contribution to society.
When I was brought on board as the head of operations of the foundation, I immediately keyed into these goals and since then, I have been occupied with activities, programs, initiatives and strategies aimed at achieving these goals "goals 2 and 7 of the millennium goals".
This year, ZODML worked with Onuesoke Foundation to get books and teacher resources to Delta state. How has this helped in accomplishing your objectives?
Our connection with ZODML was a "dream come true" in solving one of the problems we observed was a huge obstacle in achieving student's academic success in the rural areas of DELTA STATE which are the absence of good schools with good learning facilities and the poor reading culture among rural school children.
To correct these ills, we decided to run a mobile Library. We were able to get a truck, bought for us by our Director. The next huge challenge was books. How do we get books? We sought for sponsors to no avail and discovered that people in this part of the world would rather sponsor a beauty pageant than to donate books for a library.
The Onuesoke foundation's mobile library has affected the lives of so many primary school children in Delta State.
We can say that children are building a new reading culture in all the communities we have visited. And we believe we can improve the reading culture of children in the rural communities of Delta state.
What do you see as the greatest barrier to Education in Delta State and what is the way forward?
Barrier to Education in Delta State...this is a system problem. From policy to implementation, structure, teachers, and even they way they run the public schools is a chain of system failure. Teachers areobsolete for today's learning and teaching. School heads and principals are beautifully decorated in obsolete ornament of teacher and school leadership not meant for today's schools.
The tertiary institutions, which are responsible for building teachers also run obsolete curriculum and so the schools are physically in the 21st, but in function are out of the dynamic global concept of what education is all about in today's world.
There should be a defined philosophy as to what type of education we need in our country, the skills and attitudes we need to imbibe from such philosophy and how it will improve our own civilization and development, an example is the philosophy of education in China, Japan and Singapore.
What has been the most challenging moment in your work?
Challenging moments? Presently, I am facing some hurdles. Children in Warri south are so deprived!
Funds for taking our Library to the creeks is the greatest hurdle we are facing now. Visits to these areas leaves me with silent tears and sometimes I just play songs by Bob Marley, Wyclef , Lucky Dube when I'm going to such areas. Children in the creeks don't know what a library is. They are only familiar with the pages of blank exercise books with their covering pages off. To them, a storybook is like a Christmas dress. If they get one as a gift, for the colours and the scent of it, they would rather keep it than read it because a lot of them can't read materials meant for their academic level. They are not motivated to read as people around them don't read. Teachers don't read to them. Spelling practice is like counting letters and reading is a taboo so it seems.
Getting the books to them has been my problem. I need funds to pay workers who will go on water to get to a school on water or a nearby one on land and stay for 4-5 hours to read out to the children, give them books to read, teach them how to spell and let them enjoy reading for just 4 weeks and we move on to the next place on boat.
We have been looking for sponsors to help us visit Ogulagha community presently. The children there are thirsty to read. It's a 3 hour drive on water. I wish I can get a sponsor for that and September we will be there. That is the next community from Warri south on our list.
ONE major problem is that rural schools are DEAD permit me to use this word. Most of the buildings are not habitable. I really feel bad about this.
On our last visit during the fourth week, we see them read fluently, God! IT'S LIKE FIREWORKS AND we record success. We go back and ask parents about the change of attitude in their children's behavior since the library came to their community and the response is ...like a woman said "My piken come carry bible com dey read for me. For evening e go carry book, sit down for chair for outside dey read. Una do well o (My child reads the Bible to me. In the evening he sits outside and reads a book. You have done well)".
The wonderful exclamations from the children when they climb up into the truck to see books also bring us great joy. One of the children on seeing the books in the truck said" I will sleep here and read all the books overnight".
It's been good so far, but there are so many limitations for us too.
What books do you enjoy the most and will want to recommend?
Books I enjoy most? Just as I am eclectic with music so I am with books.
But to recommend one and for the purpose of this subject matter, our MOBILE library, I will recommend "Gifted Hands" by Ben Carson and a movie" Lean on me " featuring Morgan Freeman. Whenever I'm training teachers and school principals, I recommend they see " Lean On Me and Sister Act II"
These two movies are a teaching tool for bringing lost children back to books.
The book "Gifted Hands" is a simple application of leading a child to success through reading, leading children through learning difficulties, helping the child to find victory by himself with discipline, self commitment and focus. I have seen the movie over and over. I have used the principles as a mother to teach my own children and it worked for me. My children are "great with books", an attitude I took after my father. He is over 77 and is a student doing his PHD right now.
This is the dream of a man, Hon. Sunny Onuesoke, a Deltan who believes in good governance and in touching the lives of disadvantaged people. Rural they call it but they are the source of urban beauty...His words" Everybody is from the rural, we only move to a place we made urban".

Swing Dance Hanoi is a community of dancers that dance the original form of partnered swing dancing…the LINDY HOP!
Lindy Hop is a highly "improvisable" dance which requires a balanced and dynamic connection and trust between the leader and the follower. The dance has its basic "moves", however, they are often "improved-on" and lead by the leader. The follower in-turn would respond to this "lead" based on her/his own interpretation of it. The dynamics of the dance provide each dancer the freedom to be creative on their own and then come together when required. Today's Lindy Hop presentation is of two fold. The first segment is choreographed and shows the "basics". The second segment is completely improved and unrehearsed. As each couple takes the spot light the dance is lead and followed each step of the way; including when two leaders dance with each other alternatively taking the role of leading and following.
SDH currently conducts regular classes and a weekly dance "Lindy Wednesday" at Hanoi Rock City.

Bagley & Reese Are Back In The Game
by Jeff Pesek
"After you've had a good exit, what do you do next?" David Bagley wonders, pausing to smile.
The veteran tech founder is fortunate to be in a position to seriously consider his options on the table.
"Do you drift away, retire to pursue passions and restore family focus? I think all along, we knew were open to doing it again, and doing it again together," he concludes. "It's what we do?!"
Across the table, friend and business partner George Reese jumps in.
"We weren't really in place to get in too deep while at Dell given our agreement, we had to be really patient."
Bagley (left) and Reese (right) originally formed enStratus Networks in 2008 as a spin-off of marketing software maker Valtira.
Changed to Enstratius in 2013, the company was a cloud computing infrastructure management platform intended to address security and governance issues associated with deploying public, private, and hybrid clouds.
Enstratius raised a series A round of $4.5 million in 2011 and was acquired by Dell for $60-$80m two years later — where the two have been since.
Now they're back, and bringing the former Dell Software CTO Donald Ferguson with them, to SeekaTV — a working name for their new joint venture with a million dollars behind it already.
On the contrary to everything Enstratius was, SeekaTV is aimed squarely at serving the media masses with a new model of video combining a mix of b2b relationships with b2c distribution; it's about as far away from enterprise IT as possible.
"There are series produced for say $10m or more an episode that are released on an exclusive paid subscription deal with HBO or Netflix, for example" Bagley explains while raising his right hand. "The barriers are huge."
"And then there's still the ultra-low budget YouTube and Vimeo web series type with a much smaller production budget," he continues, raising the other. "That is abundantly noisy."
"This gap," he says in drawing hands slowly together, "Is an opportunity to marry the content quality of traditional broadcast and cable networks with online delivery at a fraction of the budget."
How exactly the product will work isn't completely spelled out just yet, while the duo are keen on themes of "native social," "sentiment analysis," and naturally, "indy filmmakers."
"Overall, there's a number of variables in this equation stitched together," Bagley says, smiling once again. "There are a lot of unique things we can do with SeekaTV using technology that isn't used in the film industry," Reese adds. "We're going serverless."
For Reese, his excitement for SeekaTV draws from years of experience in and out of Hollywood as a producer, director, and screenwriter.
"To go big in this world, to do it right in the consumer market is likely going to require a warchest," he realizes. "And lots of exclusive content, which is my primary purpose right now."
Bagley, on the otherhand is more calculated with his motives.
"The fun problems for me to solve are the ones with huge opportunity to change how systems function, fundamentally. This is about taking the power from a very hierarchicall structure, known for its command and control mentality, and giving it to the true creatives of this generation."

Q: Using Selenium Webdriver, how do I verify the contents/data in the sheets of an excel file that was launched from a page? Can Selenium Webdriver detect the excel file in the first place?

A: Selenium Webdriver Library doesn't handle the Excel files,You need to use the external library  to handle the excel file. There are two famous libraries, which you can use, one is Apache POI  library, you can download it from here. The other one JXL java library,download it from here.Before starting work with any of this library, there is main difference between this two library is JXL handle only the files which is having the .xls extention(Microsoft Excel 2003-2007 File), whereas Apache POI can handle .xls as well as .xlsx(Microsoft Excel 2010 File). So my suggestion is you should go for Apache POI.

A: selenium can not handle excel sheets.
excel sheet is not a part of application , data is loaded into the excel sheet and operating system will open the file.
once excel file opened use Apache POI/Jexcel to validate the content.

Intel is making big promises with its next-generation Atom chips from the Bay Trail platform like $200 Windows 8 tablets. So, the "Samsung with Bay Trail SoC" that appeared in some shipping manifests is a cause for some excitement.
Sony's soon to be revealed attachable smartphone lens-cameras have appeared in high-resolution images. Dubbed DSC-QX10 and DSC-QX100, the gadgets pack a lens, sensor, card slot and image processor.
Apple is tipped to unveil its next-generation iPhone and the much anticipated low-budget iPhone, on September 10. The two smartphones are reportedly going to be called iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, respectively, and have already stared in numerous leaks. The latest rumors, includes a few photos of the spare parts that are allegedly destined for the iPhone 5S and confirm the presence of a dual LED flash.
ASUS to manufacture the second generation Nexus 10 slate?
According to a report by our colleagues over at Geek.com, Google has chosen ASUS to manufacture the refreshed Nexus 10 slate instead of sticking with Samsung. The information comes from an unknown retailer listing which ties ASUS to the second-gen Nexus 10 slate.
Rumors of Nvidia wanting to build its own tablet have been doing the rounds for a couple of months now, but they will probably gain even more traction now that we got leaked photos of an Tegra-4 powered Tegra Tab slate.
We saw the leaked back panel of the Apple iPad 4 a while ago and now, the aluminum body of the upcoming iPad Mini successor has been spotted. Unsurprisingly, the back housing of the iPad Mini 2 does not suggest any major changes in the design and it looks like Apple is going to stick with the proven formula for its second-gen compact tablet.
A leaked prototype of the upcoming iPad 5 from Apple had suggested that the slate would sport an iPad Mini-like design. Now, the aluminum back housing of the fifth-generation iPad has surfaced and confirms that the device would indeed resemble the iPad Mini.
A South Korean version of the water-resistant Samsung Galaxy S4 Active called SHV-E470S popped up in GFXBench scores and wouldn't you know it, it packs a Snapdragon 800 chipset and not the Snapdragon 600 that the international version has.
Is this the camera module of the cheaper Apple iPhone 5C?
From China comes a camera module pictured in the wild, which is said to belong to the Rumorland-inhabiting "cheaper" iPhone 5C (C for color).
We've been down this road before so take this with a pinch of salt. A Windows RT tablet by Nokia showed up in GFXBench scores. The device carried the model name RX-114, RX-108 was a model name associated with Nokia tablet early this year (maybe this Tegra 3-powered tablet).
Apple to discontinue iPhone 5 after the launch of iPhone 5S?
You read that right – Apple might discontinue its iPhone 5 as soon as the company starts selling its upcoming iPhone 5S, according to a report from Chinese CTech.


The Sant'Anna ravine is 3 km from where the Cannobino Stream flows into Lake Maggiore. The water has eroded the rocky walls of the surrounding valley over the centuries, thus creating a narrow crack where the raging water flows.
Two bridges cross over it: a medieval one (so-called dell'agostana) only for foot traffic, and a more modern one, which can also be crossed by car. The ravine's green waters home to the brown trout are rather cold in the summer (15° - 16°) and reach a temperature of 2° - 3° in the winter. It has a maximum depth of 25 metres.
A little church dedicated to Sant'Anna was built not far from the ravine in 1683 presumably on a project by G.A. Crivelli. It has an ancient frescoed sacellum dedicated to the Madonna of Loreto, which is the structure's current apse. Inside, the high altar decorated with black-marble solomonic columns and elegant ornaments is noteworthy.
The work was donated to the church by company Terrafiumesi in Rome, a sort of association that united the village's bricklayers. The scagliola antependiums (the front sections of the altar) are also noteworthy, as is the work by artist C.G. Pancaldi from Ascona dating back to the 18th century. 17th-century altars adorn the side chapels dedicated to saints Anne and Joachim (the one to the right) and to Saint Joseph (the one to the left).
Once you're in Cannobio, turn left and follow the signs for Valle Cannobina; after less than 1 km, turn right on a road with signs for the ravine. Continue along the valley. After about 1 km, there is a fork in the road; take the road uphill, to the left. Further ahead on the right is a tourist sign and a small road leading down to the outflow of the ravine. There is a car park there.
The ravine is very popular for swimmers, divers and enthusiasts - especially on weekends. Its cool waters are a miracle cure against summer mugginess.

Boston Celtics Game Odds: Most Bet On Team
Carrie Stroup
Oct/27/2010
The Boston Celtics game odds vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers were set at -4 at Sportsbook.com. Of course this is not the same Cleveland team of the last few years now that Lebron James is with the Miami Heat. Boston beat the Heat last night and are now listed with odds of 7/1 to win the 2011 NBA Championship. These odds are subject to change so Gambling911.com recommends locking them in now.
Expectations for the Cavaliers are low, but new head coach Byron Scott seems to like that perception.
"I love the underdog theory," Scott said. "Being a guy who came in and was put in the same situation, I can relate to it. I know it's a very motivating factor for a lot of players.
"As much as possible, I'm going to keep bringing it up. I don't want them to forget what people are saying and writing about them. If that's the thing to keep them motivated and playing at a high level, I'll say it every single day."
In some ways, expectations were low for the Celtics prior to Tuesday night's season opening game. With the Heat signing Lebron James and other marquee talent, Boston was suddenly relegated to "red headed step child" status.
While Lebron James scored 31 points in his team's loss to the Celtics Tuesday night, Boston held Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to a combined 21 and limited the Heat to 36.5 percent shooting.
….Let's review some important NBA trends coming into Wednesday October 27, 2010 play.
The Dallas Mavericks are 2-13 Against The Spread in home games in non-conference games over the last 2 seasons. They play Charlotte as a -6.5 favorite.
The Indiana Pacers are 3-12 ATS as a road underdog of 6.5 to 9 points over the last 2 seasons. They were an 8.5 point underdog against San Antonio.
6 of 7 games in the Pistons/Nets series have gone OVER THE TOTAL during the past 3 seasons. The total in this game was set at 188.0.

NBA Best Bets - January 17, 2020
From top to bottom are teams that have the best chance of winning or covering the spread based on recent trends for Friday, January 17, 2020.
When Will Anthony Davis Come Back?
Los Angeles Lakers star forward Anthony Davis talked to reporters on Tuesday for the first time since his scary fall against the New York Knicks on January 7.
Oregon Ducks at Washington State Cougars Betting Pick
Not much has gone right for Washington State this season, including three losses in four PAC-12 contests. While the Cougars were able to bring down UCLA earlier in the year, Washington State has dropped its other three conference games by an average of 14 points apiece. Although Washington State will have an opportunity to protect its home floor in Thursday night's PAC-12 action, they'll be facing off against an Oregon Ducks team with two victories in three attempts on the road this season.
NBA Betting – Portland Trail Blazers at Houston Rockets
Just last season the Portland Trail Blazers won 53 games and reached the Western Conference final. They are currently on pace to win 33 games and miss the postseason for the first time in seven years. There still is plenty of basketball left with the Blazers hitting the midway point and snatching a victory last time out. But the West is stacked and the Houston Rockets are one of the teams at the top of the standings. Led by NBA scoring leader James Harden, Houston is one of five times within three games of each other in the congested West race and look to get back in the win column after dropping Tuesday's game in Memphis.
Where Can I Bet the Rutgers vs. Illinois Game Online From New Jersey?
For anyone wanting to place a bet on Saturday's Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Illinois Illini game from New Jersey, your options are few and far between.

Photographers to Follow on Instagram: November 12, 2021
November 16, 2021 Glading Marteen
Every day, the PetaPixel Instagram account is sharing excellent photography from our readers and those who inspire us. Here's a look at some of our recent favorite posts and the photographers behind the lens.
Our @PetaPixel Instagram page has been posting all the great work that finds its way in front of our eyes. Want to see your photos shared on our account? First, you'll want to follow us. Then use the #petapixel hashtag in your posts to join our Instagram community of photographers. These steps let us easily find what to share.
Below, we recognize a selection of talented photographers who recently had their work featured on @PetaPixel. Keep posting your images with #petapixel and you could find yourself here next week.
Daniel Mosessohn, known as @mosess.portraits on Instagram, is a portrait photographer based in Bucharest, Romania. Mosessohn told PetaPixel that the most important thing in portrait photography is "establishing a connection." He added that getting to know his subjects allows for him to "bring out the emotions they want to show."
Tim Demski, or simply @timdemski on Instagram, is a highly-talented wedding photographer based out of Poland. For his wedding photography, Demski prefers working candidly. "I try to create unique photographs without the use of any Photoshop whatsoever," he said about working on his special projects.
Aleksey Puchkovsky, or @puchkovsky.photo on Instagram, is a studio portrait photographer based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. His portrait work is characterized by the striking use of black-and-white images with dramatic lighting that makes his subjects pop off of the dark backgrounds. Puchkovsky's work has earned him Top 100 in the Russian Photo Awards and "Best" placement in the 35AWARDS.
Mark Leader is a British fine art photographer and can be found on Instagram as @mark_leader. Leader said that he will "often employ the use of long exposure photography which helps to portray a surreal, dreamy feel to an image." A fan of the whole photographic process, he enjoys researching locations, planning photos, post-processing creativity, and sharing his work with others.
Tom Broxup is a 33-year-old wildlife photographer from York, North Yorkshire, UK, and can be found on Instagram as @tombroxup_wildlife_uk. Broxup told PetaPixel that he has been "obsessed with wildlife, especially birds" since he was a child and that this calling has "evolved into a passion for capturing images of the amazing creatures that inhabit the UK."
On this particular photo, he said that it was taken at a nature reserve that he has visited since he was young. "I was aware there was a nesting pair of barn owls in this tree but also knew they were very nocturnal," Broxup said. "A clear evening following a few days of rain means that the owls will be hungry as they struggle to hunt in the rain due to their feathers not being waterproof." As an experienced wildlife photographer, Broxup chooses to wait until the first evening or early morning after the rain stops. "In this case, the two young owls came to the edge of the tree hollow to call for the adults to bring them some much-needed food just as the last rays of the day's sun pushed through the clouds."
Rutvik Katuri, or @rutvikkaturi on Instagram, is a beauty and fashion photographer with roots in India and the United States and is currently based in New York. His work has been featured in Harpers Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, L'Officiel, and Maxim and has earned him over 50 awards from all the top competitions. This particular photo was from an editorial photoshoot with Amber Abara that ran as the November 2021 cover for STYLÉCRUZE Magazine.

Taleb claimed he was not alone in being pressurised. "Most authors, I was told, complied. I assume hundreds kept their mouth shut. Not me," he added.
Note that my problem with Chinese printers was resolved amicably (they accepted) but I am SHOCKED that no other author had the guts to stand up to the weirdness Chinese censorship of a US book by a US author.
+Book written in US; author in US; publisher in US; readers (of US edition) in US.
+Printed in China <=> Chinese censorship.
+Publishers & Authors find this NORMAL.
This is one side of Globalism Globalists need to explain.
Note that the company in question is not a publisher, but rather, a printer. A printer's job is to print, not make helpful edits to the content of what is printed. Apparently, the content of English-language books printed in China and intended for export falls under the purview of China's censors.

Readers ask: What Is The Most You Can Write Off For Charity?
Individuals may deduct qualified contributions of up to 100 percent of their adjusted gross income. A corporation may deduct qualified contributions of up to 25 percent of its taxable income. Contributions that exceed that amount can carry over to the next tax year.
Taxpayers in search of last-minute savings can give directly to the organization or use a tax-advantaged account known as a donor-advised fund. If you itemize on your taxes – meaning your deductions exceed the 2019 standard deduction of $12,200 for singles and $24,400 for married couples – you can write off the value of your charitable donations.
You are legally allowed to claim charitable deductions for up to 60 percent of your adjusted gross income, but again, if you go much above that 3 percent rate, the IRS will likely audit your return. You have up to six years to claim charitable donations, so you can put off the deduction to a year when it works more to your advantage.

What is the maximum charitable deduction for 2020?

How much charity can I write off without proof?
There is no specific charitable donations limit without a receipt, you always need some sort of proof of your donation or charitable contribution. For amounts up to $250, you can keep a receipt, cancelled check or statement. Donations of more than $250 require a written acknowledgement from the charity.
How much money can be written off for donations?
In general, you can deduct up to 60% of your adjusted gross income via charitable donations (100% if the gifts are in cash), but you may be limited to 20%, 30% or 50% depending on the type of contribution and the organization (contributions to certain private foundations, veterans organizations, fraternal societies,
Is there a limit on charitable donations for 2021?
The law now permits electing individuals to apply an increased limit ("Increased Individual Limit"), up to 100% of their AGI, for qualified contributions made during calendar-year 2021. Qualified contributions are contributions made in cash to qualifying charitable organizations.
How much in charitable donations will trigger an audit?
Donating non-cash items to a charity will raise an audit flag if the value exceeds the $500 threshold for Form 8283, which the IRS always puts under close scrutiny. If you fail to value the donated item correctly, the IRS may deny your entire deduction, even if you underestimate the value.

How much do donations help with taxes?
As long as your donation is $2 or more, and you make it to a deductible gift recipient charity, you can claim the full amount of money that you donated on your tax return. Section D9 on your tax return (Gifts and Donations) deals specifically with charitable donations, so that's where you should record your donations.
How much can I donate to charity without raising a red flag?
Identification. There is no set dollar amount you can give to a charity and deduct on your taxes without raising a red flag on IRS computers. The IRS uses a formula called Discriminant Function System to identify potentially fraudulent or erroneous tax deductions.
Can you lie about donations on taxes?
The rule for charitable contributions, both cash and non-cash, comes down two simple principles: Don't lie about how much you're giving as a way to claim a bigger deduction. And when you do make your contributions, make sure to get receipts — and in some cases, appraisal letters — that verify your donations.
Can I claim up to 300 without receipts?
The ATO generally says that if you have no receipts at all, but you did buy work-related items, then you can claim them up to a maximum value of $300. Chances are, you are eligible to claim more than $300. The ATO says, no proof, no claim, so keep your receipts year-round.
How much can you claim for donations without receipts 2020?
Claim for your donations – if you have made donations of $2 or more to charities during the year you can claim a tax deduction on your return. You don't even need to have kept receipts if you donated into a box or bucket and your donation was less than $10.

Can you still deduct charitable donations in 2020?
Following special tax law changes made earlier this year, cash donations of up to $300 made before December 31, 2020, are now deductible when people file their taxes in 2021. Under this new change, individual taxpayers can claim an "above-the-line" deduction of up to $300 for cash donations made to charity during 2020.
Are church donations tax deductible in 2020?
The total of your church cash donations plus all other charitable contributions you make during the year typically cannot exceed 60 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). For tax years 2020 and 2021, the contribution limit is 100% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) of qualified cash donations to charities.
How much can I deduct for clothing donations 2021?
For the 2021 tax year, people who take the standard deduction can deduction up to $300 of cash donations to charity. Note the emphasis on the word "cash" – this deduction isn't available if you donate a car, clothing, food, furniture, or any other property.
How many years can you carry forward charitable contributions?
The carryover period for charitable contributions is five years. After taking those deductions and utilizing any remaining carryovers, the individual can use qualified charitable contributions of up to 100% of AGI.
Is there a limit on itemized deductions for 2021?
For 2021, as in 2020, 2019 and 2018, there is no limitation on itemized deductions, as that limitation was eliminated by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

ICE Removals Increase in 2018, But Still Not as High as Obama Levels From 2009-2014
By: Latino Rebels
Last week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released its Fiscal 2018 Enforcement and Removal Operations Report (full document below).
Across the last two fiscal years, it is true that ICE removal have increased from 226,119 removals to 256,085. It is also true that the Fiscal Year 2018 figures are higher than the FY 2016 number of 240,255 removals.
Across 10 years, however, FY 2018's 256,085 removals are the fourth lowest year. The highest years since FY 2008 were the first four years of the Obama administration, with FY 2014 (also under the Obama administration) being the sixth highest. In fact, FY 2012's 409,849 removals are still the highest year. As this figure from ICE's 2016 report shows:
In addition, despite seeing apprehensions rise over the last three years, as seen in the next figure below, the number of apprehensions still do not match pervious years in the Obama administration, as seen in the second figure below. We understand that ICE reports under the Obama administration were organized differently than those from the Trump administration, so there is some apples to oranges comparison here, but looking at the statistics, there is still enough data to support the fact that there were more apprehensions during the Obama years than during the Trump years.
Yes, it is true that ICE arrests have increased since Fiscal Year 2016…
…But they still do not compare to the close the 15,000-20,000 monthly average arrests from Fiscal Years 2013–2015. Arrests during those years would average between 150,000 and 240,000 arrests, as following figure from a previous ICE report shows.
The decrease in removals and arrests over the last 10 fiscal years would suggest that unauthorized immigration is decreasing in the U.S., and November data from Pew would confirm that. Less removals and less arrests would support Pew's conclusions.
Nonetheless, it is still important to note the ICE is using the 2018 report to congratulate itself for being tough on enforcement and following President Trump's new directives, stating: "ICE ERO continued efforts under the direction of the 2017 EO and implementation memorandum by placing a significant emphasis on interior enforcement by protecting national security and public safety and upholding the rule of law. This report represents an analysis of ICE ERO's FY2018 year-end statistics and illustrates how ICE ERO successfully fulfilled its mission while furthering the aforementioned policies."
So the question remains: if the unauthorized population is shrinking, but the level of enforcement is not, does it suggest that ICE has way more resources to conduct its operations? Is ICE at a level where it can hyper-enforce immigrant communities? Very likely.
Here is the full 2018 report from ICE:

Q: rake task return on calling task I would like to return from a rake task in the calling task.
Does it possible?
Something like in this example, i would like to be able to call task one and one independantly but also one and two sequentially.
task: one
   do some work
   if work ok
      task.return true
   else
      puts "task one ko"
      task.return false
   end
end

task: two
   do some work
   if work ok
      task.return true
   else
      puts "task two ko"
      task.return false
   end
end

task: all
  Rake::Task["one"].invoke
  Rake::Task["two"].invoke
end

I am not able to return in the "all" task. And "return" and abort("message") quit the script.

A: Solution : tasks are lambda blocks that's why we have to use "next" instead "return".

Q: Angular Material: I am adding one more row of matInput in Angular form on button click. but matInput filed UI is not loading properly I am adding one more row of matInput in Angular form on button click if the user wants to insert one more record. but matInput filed UI is not loading properly. it's getting load when I do focus in and focus out.
I also tried changeDetectionref but no luck.
  I am adding one more row with this code
      createItem() {
    return this.fb.group({
      'attribute_name': ["", Validators.required],
      'attribute_XPath': ["", Validators.required]
    })
  }
const items = this.regiForm.controls.formgrp as FormArray;
items['controls'].push(this.createItem());

Here is the UI you can see in the third row of matInput's CSS is missing.
it's coming on blur.

A: This is likely because the change detection is not recognizing the added items. Change detection is triggered when the object reference changes, but is not triggered if a property within the object changes.
You can manually trigger a change detection by adding the private cdr: ChangeDetectorRef to your class constructor and calling this.cdr.detectChanges(); at the end of your function.

Melbourne's treasured Nicholas Building, located on the corner of Swanston Street and Flinders Lane, was designed by the commercial architect Harry Norris and built in 1926. The building is much loved for its many charming original details, and incorporates technology and influences that put it at the leading edge of its time. It has housed a broad range of businesses, but today is home to a cultural microcosm made up of creative innovators and retailers, art galleries and studios.
It is here that Olivia Radonich set up her new gallery Reading Room which opened for business in January 2018. Radonich's partner Ed Davis had been looking for an office when a friend's jewellery studio became available. It was too big, but on viewing the space, Radonich says her dream of opening a gallery was thrown into relief, "seeing the physical space made me realise things I had been thinking about; that it was time to put them into physical form."
After a decade working at Tolarno Galleries in Melbourne, Radonich is keenly aware of the challenges she faces in stepping away from a big brand.
"It's becoming complex for the next generation of gallerists," she says. "In starting, art fairs are inevitable. It means that the market dominates. It can dominate your thinking." Yet, Radonich is ready to test her mettle. She is aware of economic pressures, but unwilling to yield to them. "I would never be able to begin working with an artist based on commercial considerations… from experiences I've had, if you work with passion, with artists who are themselves passionate, and you believe in that artist, everything follows in time."
Radonich takes courage from valuable lessons gleaned from mentors such as Tolarno Galleries director Jan Minchin. "It's hard to work under a woman like Jan and not want to continue doing good," she says. That good refers to supporting artistic process, and, to some extent, sheltering artists from the potentially crushing pressures of economic success. "I see it as a huge responsibility to create an environment and a space where artists can take risks that aren't based on commercial outcomes," Radonich explains. "That they can make the work they want to make. It's my job to match their effort."
Reading Room is made up of three rooms on the sixth floor of the Nicholas Building.
Striking wooden panelling dominates a wall in one room and generous industrial windows grace the rooms throughout. In between the two main exhibition spaces is the office-cum-library, which Davis also shares. Basically, it is not your standard white cube. "We wanted to be really respectful of the space and the building, which we love. We decided to keep the layout of the three rooms because it creates a nice situation, but it was very much done in close dialogue with the artists," Radonich says.
Radonich has always loved being around artists and credits them with an ability "to feel out situations before the rest of us have realised what's coming." This is a quality she has placed her faith in, celebrating instances of such foresight both from a historical angle, as well as in navigating the gallery's future. As though setting coordinates, Reading Room was launched earlier this year with Onion Walk,c. 1961, and News Animation* (Rehearsal), 2004, by the American-Italian postmodern choreographer (also dancer, artist, writer) Simone Forti.
Radonich became aware of Forti's work four or five years ago through her writing and felt an immediate connection. She continued to research Forti's oeuvre before approaching her gallery, The Box in Los Angeles, to see if they would put her in touch. Soon after, in 2017, she travelled to meet her to explain some of her thinking behind Reading Room and to invite Forti to exhibit. She wanted to inaugurate the space with Forti's spirit, "her force."
Throughout our conversation, Radonich is cautious of defining her project. She wants to give it the chance to evolve, to remain flexible and adaptive to unforeseen possibilities. Also, she wants attention to focus on her artists and believes "the work should go at the forefront." Reading Room represents a small stable: Maggie Brink, Matlok Griffiths, Hannah Lees, Mary MacDougall and Lewis Teague Wright. But there are others whose work Radonich supports more informally, including so far: Simone Forti, Samraing Chea and Leahlani Johnson. In considering her selections, an interest in the ephemeral is a connecting thread.
Reading is a daily activity for Radonich, and the library component of Reading Room might be understood as the gallery's sacred heart, made up from a selection of books from Radonich's personal library. She is curious to see how other people interact with the space, with the books, and this ties in with one of the more playful ideas behind the gallery's name. "I think we're always reading in space, in the world," Radonich says. "We're reading bodies in space, especially where art is concerned, we're always reading visual language."
But the essential role of the library seems to be about forging connections. "The library arrangements are a very fluid, flexible idea. They really allow for an informal conversation to begin between me and an artist. And that conversation is very open, it can take any form," Radonich explains. The first library arrangement features Sydney artist Leahlani Johnson, whose practice Radonich is only starting to get to know. It was the artist's suggestion to present a series of her first porcelain works. She also spent time rearranging the books to a colour code, which Radonich describes happily as "a little disruption."
Reading Room's visual identity also stems from this interest in books and research. Radonich worked with Robert Milne, a graphic designer recently graduated from Werkplaats Typografie in The Netherlands, who shares her love of printed matter. This has led to the inclusion of many distinctive details: hole punch marks on each document produced to accompany exhibitions; a map-like room-sheet mirroring the layout of Samraing Chea's exhibition; the inclusion of a colophon and footnotes on the website.
Radonich brings conceptual depth to her role which is evidenced in very deliberate decisions, such as the way information relating to her artists and exhibitions is communicated. "I don't want the website to appear as this thing that has been created over the last year. I want the website to exist in parallel to the space itself, which is in formation." Partly, this comes from what she has observed of chefs and the slow food movement. Radonich aims for "a mindful approach to the way a program forms, the way an exhibition is presented. Not so much hype before something is actually presented… let the viewer come to the work."
Perhaps drawing on her love of art and quality literature – which is often said to raise more questions than answers, and might be equally measured by what is left unsaid – the only definitive statement Radonich seems comfortable making about her project is that it is "a proposition." She goes on to explain, "It's posing a series of questions and challenges to myself, as well, so I can test out the way forward. Working in a much smaller way, a more humble way, what can be achieved? What's possible in that format? My artists are the ones who lead the way."

There is a huge difference between a bagel chip and insanity. The way one man claims people from St. Louis, Missouri slice their bagels is maddening to the bagel eating population.
If this in fact real then every New Yorker can agree that this is just ridiculous and it needs to stop.
According to a tweet from @AlekKrautmann, this is how they eat bagels in St. Louis. Is this real? I expected better from the state that brought is Dr. Pepper and the ice cream cone. I would like to start a petition to have Missouri's star removed from the United States Flag.
Would you ever order a bagel like this in New York? I don't have the guts. Would a bagel place even slice it like that?
