9 Plays with Remarkable Mothers
By Nekesa Mbadiwe Date: May 09, 2019 Tags: Lists and recommendations
Mother's Day is upon us. No matter how you feel about your own mother, I think we can agree that this day is a time for reflection and consideration. So, why don't you curl up with one of these reads which all feature mothers and complex family relationships?
Hilda's Yard by Norm Foster
Set in 1956, Hilda Fluck and her husband Sam are enjoying their new lives as empty-nesters. Hilda plans to spend the day hanging laundry when both of her adult children, Janey and Gary, literally fall into the backyard to hide from their problems. What ensues is a funny and heartwarming play about family and what it means to be a parent.
The Last Wife by Kate Hennig
A contemporary look between the marriage of Henry VIII and his final wife, Katherine Parr. Kate is torn between love and duty; between her marriage of obligation to Henry, her affair with Thom, and her desire to educate her adopted daughters. This retelling is a compelling observation of power, patriarchy, politics, and women's rights.
How Black Mothers Say I Love You by Trey Anthony
When thirtysomething sisters Claudette and Valerie travel home to see their dying mother, Daphne, they're still holding on to the pain of being left behind. Daphne left her daughters in Jamaica when she moved to the United States to make a new life for them and in that time she remarried and had another daughter. With all three women under the same roof, the family is forced to confront their emotions while they still can. How Black Mothers Say I Love You is full of humour, love, and the complex, complicated perceptions of immigrant mothers.
The Invention of Romance by Conni Massing
The Invention of Romance contrasts the very different romantic stories of Kate Carmichael and her mother. While Kate is, frankly, a romantic train wreck who has ironically been tasked with mounting an exhibit about the history of love, her long-widowed mother rekindles a romance with a man she co-starred in a play with sixty years ago. When Kate finds a missing piece of her mother's past, she sets out to complete a happily ever after.
The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble by Beth Graham
Iris Trimble is barely holding it together when she learns that her mother, Bernice, has Alzheimer's. While Iris's siblings Sarah and Peter have opposite reactions, she copes by making a favourite childhood dish. The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble is about mental illness and family dynamics.
Sunday in Sodom by Jordan Tannahill
She's referred to in the Bible simply as "Lot's wife," but in Sunday in Sodom, Edith describes how her husband welcomes two American soldiers into their house while she's also caring for her daughter, granddaughter, grandmother, and cousin. The arrival of the new guests sets off a chain of events that lead to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. And in a moving declaration, Edith sets the record straight as to why, after being told not to, she looked back upon the destruction of her hometown and turned into a pillar of salt.
This Is How We Got Here by Keith Barker
A year after the suicide of their son Craig, Lucille and Paul's marriage has begun to break down. As they search for a way to honour their son, Lucille's sister Liset and her husband Jim refuse to talk about their nephew. The ties that keep the four together as sisters, best friends, and spouses are strained by grief and guilt… until a visit from a fox changes everything. This Is How We Got Here is a play about family, grief, and guilt.
The Femme Playlist & I Cannot Lie to the Stars That Made Me by Catherine Hernandez
Both plays focus on what it means to be a radical queer brown mother. In The Femme Playlist, a woman remembers the time in her life when she became a mother, what immediately came after, and raising her daughter. And then I Cannot Lie to the Stars That Made Me is a guide to healing and mourning for women, written after Catherine and her daughter left an abusive relationship.
Good Mother by Damien Atkins
The Driver family is struggling after an accident robs them of a mother. Told over the course of two years, the family tries to cope and rebuild while caring for her while she tries to regain her memory. Good Mother examines the bonds that keep a family together and changes that can tear them apart.

II. Jenő (), (?, Róma – 827. augusztus 27., Róma) trónra lépésével a pápaság egyfajta centenáriumot ünnepelhetett, legalábbis a történészek szerint, ugyanis Jenő volt a 100. pápa Szent Péter nyomdokain 824. május 8-tól. Pontifikátusa a frank császárok római befolyásának diadalmenete volt. I. Lothár, a frankok császára kiadta a Constitutio Romanat, amely merészen szólt bele az egyház ügyeibe. Eközben keleten ismét fellángolt a képrombolás.

Élete
Rómában született, azonban egyebet nem lehet tudni Jenő életéről. Megválasztása előtt az Aventinus dombon álló Szent Szabina-székesegyház befolyásos papja volt. Amikor 824 februárjában meghalt I. Paszkál pápa a városi nemesség és a frankok azonnal nyomást gyakoroltak a klérusra, hogy nekik kedvező egyházfő kerülhessen a trónra. Paszkál ugyanis gyakran fordult szembe a frank császárokkal és a római nemességgel, amikor a pápaság és az egyház függetlenségéért szállt harcba. Ugyan a papság olyan egyházfőt látott volna szívesen a kereszténység élén, aki a pápai függetlenséget hirdeti, amikor Lothár császár személyesen érkezett Rómába, ez szinte lehetetlenné vált. Ugyan a városi köznép egy Zinzinnus nevű bíborost támogatott, a császár és a nemesség nyomására 824. május 8-án Jenőt választották meg a pápai trónra.

Jenő trónra emelése mindenképpen a frank udvar sikere volt. Paszkál uralkodása alatt több római nemes is Frankföldre menekült, birtokaikat pedig a pápa elvette. Most ezek a nemesek visszatérhettek Rómába, és birtokaikat is visszakapták. 824-ben Lothár írásban fektette le a császári és pápai hatalom kapcsolatát, és még a szent városban kiadta a Constitutio Romanat. Ez a dokumentum kilenc cikkelyben adott számot főként a császári hatalom kiterjesztéséről, de a római nemesek ellenőrzéséről is. Lothár az alábbiakban foglalta össze nézeteit:

 Elsőként a császár azt kötötte ki, hogy az, aki a pápa vagy az uralkodó védelme alatt áll sérthetetlen, illetve hogy a pápát és tisztviselőit feltétlen engedelmesség övezze.
 Védelmébe vette a pápai vagyont, hogy az egyházfő halála után a kincstárat ne fosszák ki.
 Megerősítette IV. István pápa 769-es zsinatának döntését, amely szerint a pápaválasztáson csak a klérus tagjai vehetnek részt, és az egyházfő hivatalát csak bíborosi rangú személy töltheti be.
 Létrehozta a missi hivatalát, amelyet két ember töltött be. Egyikőjüket a pápa nevezte ki, míg a másikat a császár. Ők tájékoztatták a két uralkodót az egyházi közigazgatás igazságosságáról.
 Itália népeit olyan törvényszék elé kell állítani, amelyik igazságszolgáltatást választottak. Lehetett római vagy lombard.
 Megerősítette a pápai birtokok visszaszolgáltatását, és meghatározta a pápai állam határait.
 Az erőszakos rablást halállal büntette.
 Lothár megszabta Róma magas rangú hivatalnokainak, hogy amikor a császár a városba érkezik, azonnal jelenjenek meg színe előtt, és jelentsék Róma legfontosabb híreit.
 A császár a záró gondolatokat a legfontosabbak közé sorolta. Eszerint az egyház ura a római pápa, akinek mindenki engedelmeskedni köteles.
Jenő elfogadta a Constitutio Romana pontjait, és megeskette a római népet, hogy a pápának esküdött hűség alapján elfogadják, és követik majd a frank császárok döntéseit.

Eközben 820-ban Konstantinápolyban meghalt a pápa ádáz ellensége, V. León bizánci császár, és helyét II. Mikhaél foglalta el. Jenő elődjéhez hasonlóan legátust küldött a keleti császárhoz, hogy fenntartsa a Mihállyal kialakult jó kapcsolatot. Azonban a bizánci uralkodó a kezdeti engedmények és megegyezés után visszatért a képromboláshoz. Jenő követei hiába próbáltak meg mindent, hogy meggyőzzék a császárt, Mihály hajthatatlannak bizonyult. Az egyházfőnek több keletről érkező üldözöttet kellett befogadnia Rómába.

Jenő pontifikátusának egyik jelentős állomása volt a 826-ban összehívott római zsinat. A gyűlés az egyház fegyelmi kérdéseiben hozott döntéseket. A fő hangsúly a felszentelt főpapok és papok tudásán és tanulásán volt. Ennek fejlesztésére Itália szerte több iskolát és zárdát építtetett.

Jenő segítette a szegényeket és elesetteket, és Róma több templomát is megújította. A Szent Szabina az elsők között újult meg. Nagy összegekkel támogatta a skandináv népek térítését is. 827. augusztus 27-én halt meg. Hamvait a Szent Péter-bazilika őrzi.

Q: CSS Flexbox need accordian effect on hover I am trying to build a kind of accordion effect on hover of column field which is built using css flex-box. When i apply few styles the columns are also moving position instead of the bottom row alone. Can someone please help here. Here is the fiddle to check the issue. On hover of category the description content opens up and pushing the columns below.
https://jsfiddle.net/rc402/rx7gmbca/1/
.product-container {
  position: relative;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  align-items: flex-start;
  list-style: none;
  width: 100vw;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 0;
  font-family: "Open Sans', sans-serif";
  letter-spacing: -0.005em;
  color: black;
  margin: 0 8rem;
  column-gap: 3.2rem;

  .l-product {
    flex: 0 0 auto;
    margin-top: 4rem;
    margin-top: 6rem;

    img {
      height: 29.6rem;
      width: 29.6rem;
      border: 1px solid gray;
      border-radius: 2px;
    }

    .name {
      margin: 2.4rem 0 0 0;
      width: 10.8rem;
      height: 1.8rem;
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: 700;
      font-size: 16px;
      line-height: 18px;
      text-align: left;
    }

    .role {
      margin: 1.6rem 0 0 0;
      width: 20.9rem;
      height: 1.6rem;
      font-style: italic;
      font-weight: normal;
      font-size: 14px;
      line-height: 16px;
      text-decoration-line: underline;
      text-align: left;
    }
  }

  .hide {
    display: none;
  }

  .product-description:hover+.hide {
    margin-top: 162px;
    display: block;
    width: 1280px;
    height: 526px;
    background: #ffffff;
    border: 1px solid #d9d9d9;
    box-shadow: 0px 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
    border-radius: 2px;
  }
}

Also if i need to achieve same thing on click any pointers on how to do it?

A: @Kumar
it's not completely finished, but I think I created the effect you wanted:
Codepen: CSS Flexbox need accordion effect on hover (SO)

The main part of the magic is now happening in javascript, mainly in initProductDesc. I used jQuery but you could change it to vanilla of course.
You still need to adapt the initial height of the container by adding the margin.
$('.hide').each(function() {
    $hide = $(this);
    $hide.attr('data-initial-height', $hide.height()); // change height to include margin-top too -> outerHeigth() or something for example.
    $hide.addClass('initialized');
});

Does this help?
This should also work if you have to change the container width and height in responsive and it would also work with a dynamic height of the .hide-container (at least I think, not tested though).

html (had to remove the base64 image codes -> char limit):

Stefaniszki Małe (; ) – wieś na Białorusi, w obwodzie grodzieńskim, w rejonie mostowskim, w sielsowiecie Mosty. Od południa graniczą z Mostami.

Należały do ekonomii grodzieńskiej Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów. W czasach zaborów w granicach Imperium Rosyjskiego, w guberni grodzieńskiej, w powiecie grodzieńskim. W dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym leżały w Polsce, w województwie białostockim, w powiecie grodzieńskim, w gminie Mosty.

Według Powszechnego Spisu Ludności z 1921 roku zamieszkiwało tu 100 osób, 2 było wyznania rzymskokatolickiego a 98 prawosławnego. Jednocześnie 98 mieszkańców zadeklarowało polską przynależność narodową a 2 litewską. Było tu 19 budynków mieszkalnych.

Miejscowość należała do parafii rzymskokatolickiej w Mostach i prawosławnej w Dubnie. Podlegała pod Sąd Grodzki w Skidlu i Okręgowy w Grodnie; właściwy urząd pocztowy mieścił się w Mostach 1.

W wyniku napaści ZSRR na Polskę we wrześniu 1939 miejscowość znalazła się pod okupacją sowiecką. 2 listopada została włączona do Białoruskiej SRR. 4 grudnia 1939 włączona do nowo utworzonego obwodu białostockiego. Od czerwca 1941 roku pod okupacją niemiecką. 22 lipca 1941 r. włączona w skład okręgu białostockiego III Rzeszy. W 1944 miejscowość została ponownie zajęta przez wojska sowieckie i włączona do obwodu grodzieńskiego Białoruskiej SRR.

The Duke of York's Theatre, in a year that has already seen it welcome shows like Goodnight Mr Tom, steps up as the new home of the one of the most critically adored productions to emerge in recent times. Florian Zeller's masterpiece The Father is set to appear at the venue in the autumn and it will see some well known actors appear on the stage, including the renowned Kenneth Cranham, reprising his role as Andre.
The show has previously been seen at London's Tricycle Theatre and the Wyndham's Theatre, both locations in which it built up its well-deserved reputation. Now it heads to the Duke of York's, where it will undoubtedly attract a great deal of attention.
The story centres on the character of Andre (Cranham), an 80 year old man who begins to feel as though he is losing control of the world around him. He remembers that he used to be a tap dancer and he now lives with his daughter Anne and her husband, but that might not be correct. He might actually have had a completely different career and he might not live with his daughter at all.
James Macdonald directs the production, having previously found success with works like Exiles at the National Theatre. He was also the Associate Director of the Royal Court Theatre from the 1990s to 2007.
But it is the presence of Kenneth Cranham which will undoubtedly attract a great deal of theatregoers when it opens in February 2016.The performer is an Oliver and Tony-nominated actor whose credits include Entertaining Mr Sloane in the West End and films like Maleficent. He will also be a familiar face for those headed to the Duke of York's thanks to his work in Shine On Harvey Moon in the 1980s.
And with The Father he delves into a heartbreaking drama that has won over minds at other locations like the Ustinov Studio in Bath.
The Father begins performances at the Duke of York's Theatre in February 2016.


Welcome to a new Trail Stoke series, Dog Friendly City! First destination: Dog Friendly Silverton, Colorado.
I'm relatively new to the traveling with dog world so I've had to make several adjustments in my travel routine. I often travel alone and my daily on the road routine typically goes something like this: sunrise adventure run followed by coffee shop reading or work, another adventure in the afternoon, and then dinner at camp.
Sadly dogs are not human and are not allowed the same privileges as such so I have had to find new ways to spend my afternoons on the road. Luckily I've seemed to be able to find a dog friendly hangout in every town I visit whether it be a town park, dog friendly coffee shop, or brewpub with a dog friendly patio. And that is the purpose of these posts, to share my dog friendly discoveries with you.
Located smack dab in the middle of the San Juan Mountains, Silverton is my most favorite mountain town in all of Colorado. With plenty of dog friendly lodging options, a dog friendly brewery and cafe, and nearly endless trails to explore, Silverton, Colorado is a perfect destination for visitors traveling with dogs.
The Avalanche Cafe and Brewing Company in downtown Silverton is the town dog hangout. Avalanche has plenty of vegetarian eats, craft brews, pizza, and hot drinks. Dogs are allowed on the shaded front patio and there are always plenty of dogs lulling about. No WIFI though. Cafe Mobius has a bench out front making it slightly dog friendly. The cafe has hot drinks, breakfast burritos, pastries, and free wifi. You can easily tie your dog up out front and keep an eye on him while waiting for your coffee.
BringFido is a great resource for finding dog friendly hotels and lodging options in destinations all over the US. In Silverton, the Canyon View Motel advertises pets of any size with no extra pet fees. The Wyman Hotel and Inn luxury B&B has a few rooms that allow pets although you will have to pay extra.
Dogs are always allowed in the tent (although reluctantly at times when they are caked in mud and red dirt) and the Silverton area has many camping options. Nearly all the land surrounding Silverton is Forest Service Land with plenty of FREE camping at large and a few designated pay camping sites. Plenty of fantastic camp spots line South Mineral Creek, about 3 miles west of Silverton on Forest Road 585. You can also find many camp areas heading northeast out of town along the Alpine Loop.
Dogs have free reign in Silverton. I don't know of any trails that outlaw dogs and trail signs actually allow dogs to be off leash if they are under voice control. Most Silverton trails follow streams and pass by lakes so there are plenty of water stops for your pup. Dogs can get altitude sickness too so be sure your dogs gets enough water and read up on altitude sickness in dogs before you head out.
If you only have time for one hike, definitely head up to Ice Lakes Basin. These unbelievably bright blue lakes will blow your mind! Visit in July and be rewarded with fields of columbines, lupines, paintbrush, and more. Handies Peak makes a great first 14er for your dog.
Where's your favorite place to take your dog in Silverton?

A £3m state of the art Environment and Life Sciences laboratory at the University of Salford is to be named after geneticist Sir Walter Bodmer. Who will officially open the laboratory on Wednesday, February 24, 2016.

University of Edinburgh spin-out company Parkure Ltd has attracted more than £75,000 through ShareIn, the technology-focussed crowdfunding firm, to develop a cure for Parkinson's disease.
Parkure opted for equity crowdfunding to raise finance because, it said, traditional sources of funding can be reluctant to back drug discovery ventures at their early stages.
The company is receiving a further £75,000 in match-funding from the Scottish Government.
ShareIn offered the company the opportunity to reach a wider network of individuals and organisations who could invest and receive shares in return for supporting the company.
The global market for drugs that simply treat the symptoms of Parkinson's is currently $2.7 billion. However, Parkure's focus of a cure for the disease would open up a new market, worth a conservative estimate of at least $3 billion.
The company is using genetically engineered fruit flies that develop the disease to discover new drugs. In order to speed up the discovery process, Parkure has adopted a drug repurposing approach where they test drugs that have already been certified as safe for human use.
It will test as many candidate drugs as possible, maximising the probability of identifying compounds that work and further developing these with pharmaceutical companies.
For its crowdfunding pitches, Parkure created a video describing their company and a detailed profile explaining what they do.
The campaign involved active engagement on social media as well as more traditional publicity approaches and the team successfully generated interest from special interest groups, investors and individuals, in addition to considerable press coverage.
Dr Lysimachos Zografos, Chief Executive Officer, Parkure said: "Crowdfunding can provide an excellent way to bridge the funding gap for early stage companies.
In addition to successfully raising more than £75,000 on ShareIn, Parkure was awarded a SMART Scotland grant from the Scottish Government last December to match the private investment raised by crowdfunding.
Grant Wheeler, Head of Company Formation at the University of Edinburgh's commercialisation arm, Edinburgh Research and Innovation, said: "We are delighted to see one of the companies supported through the university's enterprise programme successfully attract external investment.
With an estimated 127,000 people in the UK with Parkinson's disease, the cost to the NHS is around £2-3 billion per annum. The disease also poses a major threat for an ever-ageing population, which the UN predicts will rise to over 1.8 billion in the over 60s age group by 2050. Most people who develop Parkinson's start showing symptoms after the age of 50; however, it can affect younger people too.
Men are also more likely to develop the disease than women.The symptoms can be debilitating, including body tremors, rigidity and stiffness of movement, but can also lead to dementia, anxiety and depression.
The biology of the disease is complex, so standard drug discovery approaches have not worked well. As a result, anyone with Parkinson's disease can receive symptomatic treatment, but not a cure. Parkure aims to start screening drugs as well as developing their first interesting leads in order to partner with a pharmaceutical company for co-development as soon as possible.

Resident loses $400 in phony phone bill scam: Middleburg Heights Police Blotter
Updated: Nov. 12, 2021, 12:09 p.m. | Published: Nov. 12, 2021, 10:20 a.m.
Joanne Berger DuMound, special to cleveland.com
By Joanne Berger DuMound/special to cleveland.com.
MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS, Ohio
Fraud: Revere Circle
A resident went to the police station at 3:47 p.m. Nov. 4 regarding receiving several phone calls and voicemails from different numbers asking for a payment for her $400 DirecTV bill using eBay gift cards.
The resident told the officer that she called one of the phone numbers about the bill. The party told her that she qualified for 50 percent off her bill if she would pay using eBay gift cards.
She went to Giant Eagle and purchased them. She then contacted the person again and gave them the eBay gift card information, which amounted to $400.
The same party told her of another offer about a cell phone deal. She would receive 50 percent off her bill if she would pay again in eBay gift cards for two years at $960 or five years at $1,960. She would then receive a free phone. The resident did not accept that additional offer.
She provided a statement, screenshots of the voicemail and picture of the eBay gift cards. The officer gave her a report number.
An officer followed up on the incident. He checked all four phone numbers the victim provided. They were all out of service. The numbers were IP-based service providers that allow users to call from virtually anywhere in the world. The victim said the person she spoke to had a foreign accent that she could not place.
The officer also checked the balance on the gift cards. There were no money left on them.
Warrant: Engle Road
An officer was patrolling the Motel 6 parking lot at 8 a.m. Nov. 3 and checked on a car that was listed as stolen/unauthorized use out of Cleveland. There was no damage to the car's steering column or forced entry.
The suspect had a room at the inn. Police went to the room where the suspect and a man were inside. The suspect said she knows the car's owner and that she had paid for the tags on the car. She said she had had the car for about a month and was going to return it the next day.
She was detained on a North Ridgeville warrant and transported to a location for that jurisdiction to take custody of her.
The car was towed and its owner notified of the situation. The Cleveland Police Department planned to pursue charges.
Driving under suspension: Engle Road
An officer was patrolling the area of Sonesta Suites at 10 a.m. Nov. 3 and saw a car whose engine was running in the parking lot. He checked the registration and found that its owner had several suspensions. The driver matched the image of his license on the computer.
The officer walked over and spoke to the motorist, who said he had driving privileges to go to work. He showed the officer his driving privileges for one of his open suspensions.
The officer explained that his driving privileges only cover one of his open suspensions.
The two passengers did not have valid driver's licenses, so the officer called for a tow.
The driver was also cited for illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia and for a traffic citation for his open suspensions. All parties were released at the scene.
Theft: Cherokee Trail
A resident told police Nov. 3 that she and her husband had a party at their home the night of Oct. 30. Prior to the party, at about 4 p.m., she took off three of her rings and set them in a cleaning cup in the kitchen.
She went to retrieve them at 1 a.m. Oct. 31. However, the rings and the cup were gone. She also discovered that a laptop computer was missing from the home.
The victim said there were about 40 guests at the party and that she did not know all of them. She was advised to check with local pawn shops to see if the rings and laptop may be located.
Warrant: Bagley Road
Several police went to Speedway at 11:17 p.m. Nov. 3 about a man who was acting erratically outside of the gas station. He was found inside the store, but then walked outside. He matched the description that dispatch described.
An officer stopped him at the doorway and asked if he was OK. The officer knew the man from previous arrests. The man appeared to be under the influence of methamphetamine. He was sweating, talking fast and was, at times, incoherent.
He provided his identification. He had a warrant with the Portage County Sheriff's Office for failure to register as a sex offender. He was arrested. He was taken to a meeting place to transfer him to that jurisdiction.
Theft: Engle Road
A Days Inn guest called police at 5:07 a.m. Nov. 5 to report that someone had stolen $400 in cash from his motel room. He said he had the cash folded underneath some papers on his desk. He left the room for five minutes about 3 a.m. to go to the front desk. He left the door open.
When he checked on his cash later, it was gone. He was the only occupant of that room. The motel planned to access the security video system later that day.
Criminal damage: Normandie Drive
A resident called police Nov. 5 to report that someone had slashed his car's tires overnight. He had parked it in his carport at about 8 p.m. Nov. 4. When he returned to his car that day, the tires were damaged.
He said he recently had ended a relationship with a woman who lives in his apartment complex. The woman in question used drugs and had been seen near the car in the past.
The tires had been damaged three weeks ago and had just been repaired. That repair cost $440.
The car's owner was willing to press charges if the suspect was found.

Suzuka: Nico Rosberg stormed to pole position at the Japanese Grand Prix in a pulsating climax to Saturday's qualifying, piling yet more pressure on world title holder Lewis Hamilton.
The German, who has a 23-point lead over Hamilton in the Formula One championship with five races to go, will start alongside his British foe on the front row as the two Mercedes continued to dominate in Suzuka.
Rosberg has been quickest all weekend with Hamilton forced to play second fiddle after being cruelly robbed of victory in Malaysia by a blown engine six days ago.
The triple world champion asked questions of his fierce rival, but Rosberg showed nerves of steel to produce a blistering lap that pipped Hamilton by just 0.013s in a nail-biting finish to qualifying.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen will start from third in Sunday's race, next to Dutch teenager Max Verstappen's Red Bull.
"I knew I could do it. I just had to get my head down and nail it," said Rosberg after securing his eighth pole of the year, the same number as Hamilton.
"The end of qualifying was pretty intense but I had a good feeling — I knew if I put in a decent lap then it should be enough," added the German, whose slender edge over Hamilton was calculated by Mercedes to work out to just 82 centimetres.
Rosberg, chasing his first win in Japan and his fourth in his last five races, is hoping for a reversal of fortune at Suzuka after failing to convert pole into victory in 2014 and 2015, both times losing out to Hamilton.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel was fourth fastest for Ferrari but a three-place grid penalty for a first-corner crash with Rosberg in Malaysia means he starts seventh.
Daniel Ricciardo, who inherited victory in Sepang after Hamilton's misfortune, lines up fifth ahead of Force India's Sergio Perez, while Vettel starts alongside Romain Grosjean's Haas on the fourth row.
Nico Hulkenberg's Force India and the second Haas of Esteban Gutierrez rounded out the top 10.
There was frustration for McLaren in engine supplier Honda's home race, however, with Fernando Alonso starting on row eight and Jenson Button one row behind after failing to escape the first qualifying round.
Hamilton insisted he could still halt Rosberg's surging momentum by winning Sunday's race, having done exactly that in Japan the past two years.
"I did as well as I could I think," said Hamilton, who courted controversy this week by hinting his Malaysia heartbreak may have been caused by sabotage from within Mercedes.
The Briton bristled when asked if he was too hard on his engines.


Born in Spain more than 500 years ago, Saint Thomas of Villanueva grew up wealthy, but even as a little boy, he shared what he had with the poor. After he became a priest, he worked even harder to help the poor. He raised money for them, but he also came up with ways to end poverty. He helped create more jobs and he started colleges for children of poor people so they could get better jobs. Saint Thomas wanted to have a heart like the Blessed Mother's. He wrote a sermon about her love for Jesus, comparing her heart to the burning bush of Moses that was always on fire but never burned up.
Remember what Saint Thomas of Villanueva said about having a heart that burned with love for Jesus with this craft project. Glue a sheet of red construction paper onto light cardboard (the side of a cereal box works well). Cut out one red heart shape for each child. Punch a hole into the heart with a hole punch. Then, cut 1" and 2" squares of red, orange and yellow tissue paper. Place the center of each square on end of a pencil eraser and wrap the tissue paper down the sides of the pencil. This will be a little tongue of fire. Before removing it from the pencil, dab the flat center with a glue stick, and then use the pencil to press it onto your red heart. It's easier to start in the center and work your way out. Don't forget to leave the hole uncovered. Then, thread a ribbon or string through the hold so you can hang your burning heart up in your room.
Saint Thomas of Villanueva, pray for us!

What is a native app, a web app, and a hybrid app in Android?
The world is getting confined to their smartphones. It happens to be a vital part of our lives, imagining life without which seems impossible.
This has to lead to an extraordinary surge in the popularity of mobile app development, especially developing apps for Android devices. After all, it shares 76% of the global user base. As enterprises pick up android app development with rapid speed, the dilemma to choose between native apps, web apps, and hybrid apps is unavoidable.
While all the three options look feasible, here we are checking each one of them to understand what they imply and how they are likely to affect mobile app development.
A native mobile app is a solution tailored to work a specific (set of) tasks on a particular environment or platform. They are made using the Software Development Kit (SDK) for a specific software framework, hardware platform or operating system.
They can be identified as icons present on the device's home screen.
What are the features of native applications?
As they operate in standalone mode, native apps need regular updates to be downloaded from time to time.
What are the benefits of native apps?
High performance: Native apps are native to the platform where multiple elements of the app are preloaded. Moreover, the data is fetched from the web rather than the entire application. Therefore, they offer speedy performance.
Rich user experience: Owing to the dedicated design language, unique elements, and set gestures, native apps offer extraordinary user experience. Thus, developers can invest time in tailoring the app's functionality.
Offer offline availability: Most of the native apps are available in offline mode as well.
Native apps offer recognizable UI/ UX: Native apps are the nuanced versions of the device's default apps. Thus, the user is thrown up with a trickier interface to use and quickly gets accustomed to the mobile app.
Highly secure: Since native apps are tested and verified by the Google PlayStore experts, users can rest assured about their security. This also ensures that the apps are fully compatible with the devices.
Extensive support from the App Stores: Being tested by the App Store, native apps receive comprehensive support from them.
Easy to discover: Since native apps are available across app stores, they are easy to discover.
Native apps lack flexibility: Native apps are not flexible when it comes to development. Moreover, the cost and time to develop a native app increase with additional platforms. That is, if you want to go beyond android app development to include the development of iOS app, that adds up to the time required for developing the app as well as the cost.
Time-consuming and high-cost development: Native apps take longer to develop. The addition of time thus shoots up the cost as well.
High maintenance cost: The cost of maintaining native mobile apps is very high as compared to their counterparts.
Require frequent updates which takes a toll on the customer base: Native apps require frequent updates for seamless operation. Besides, you rely on the customers to upgrade the apps. In case they fail to notice, you don't really have a future.
App approval is lengthy: The process of PlayStore App Approval is a tedious and long one. Moreover, it does not guarantee success.
Web apps are the application programs that are stored on a remote server. The client-facing apps run on the web browser and are not limited to operate on a single device.
Easy on the pocket and less time consuming: Web apps are cost-effective and time-saving. This is primarily because they need not be tested across all the operating systems.
Accessibility: Web apps can be accessed instantly on an extensive range of devices via web browsers. Besides, users don't need to download the apps from marketplaces.
Easy maintainability: Web apps are developed using similar codebase across various platforms. This makes it easier for the teams to maintain web apps.
Easy updates: If you make specific changes corresponding to the content and design, updates can be easily pushed and will reflect in real-time instantly.
Marketplace approvals not required: Web apps don't need approval from the app marketplaces. Developers can launch them when they are ready.
Highly compatible: Web apps are more accessible to ensure compatibility with older devices.
What are the drawbacks of web apps?
Maintenance is costly: Since there is a wide range of devices available, it is expensive to maintain web apps.
Difficult to discover: Since web apps are not available across app stores, they are harder to discover.
Tracking usage pattern and providing support is difficult: As web apps are open to a broader audience, assessing usage pattern is highly challenging. This also makes it tricky for the support to extend support to the users.
Lack of security: Since the apps are not verified by a central authority (owned by apps store in case of native apps), web applications are highly vulnerable to security threats. Additionally, there is no guided process to confirm the app's safety.
Lack of offline access: Web apps run only on the internet, and hence, they are not accessible in the offline mode.
Hybrid apps are a combination of native and web apps. These apps can be deployed to various platforms such as Android, iOS, Windows, etc. Additionally, the apps can run across browsers like Chrome, Mozilla, IE, Safari, etc.
What are the benefits of hybrid apps?
Cost-effectiveness: Hybrid app development is cost-effective. Rather than reacting multiple version of the same app for each platform, you can quickly develop for one and deploy on multiple platforms. Moreover, high code reusability allows app deployment across the platform without re-building the app from scratch.
Scalable: Hybrid apps can be easily scaled up to a wide range of platforms and devices. The reason is web technologies that take up similar syntax across various platforms.
Less time-to-market: Thanks to code reusability, time to develop hybrid apps is significantly less. Also, the apps are tested like standard software or website. Thus, app store distribution and platform testing are rapid.
What are the drawbacks of hybrid apps?
UX: Hybrid apps fail to deliver a fully native user experience. The reason is that native apps use system interface components making them user-friendly. This is not possible without compromising performance in case of the hybrid apps.
Native features: If you want to add a wide range of features to the hybrid apps, it is not possible. Android, as well as iOS, keep certain features only accessible to the native apps. These can't be integrated into the hybrid apps.
Glitches: Hybrid apps fail to offer performance equivalent to the native apps. At times, the loading time is slow while sometimes the content loading is slow. This is not the case with native apps. That said, there is a wide range of solutions present to get through with the shortcoming.
Design: The scope of graphics and visual design is limited in hybrid apps. Every platform takes up a different approach to the operation. Thus, the designer has to adjust the designs to ensure compatibility with each platform.
In an ever-growing Android market, Matellio is a leading Android App development studio that caters to client's diverse business needs with a keen focus on quality.

The Barcelona Provincial Council (Diputació de Barcelona) has achieved the Biosphere Gold destination recognition. The "Biosphere Destination" mark already accredited the tourism sustainability of a territory, and the new status testifies to the added commitment of the destination's tourism companies and services. The Barcelona Provincial Council thus becomes the second destination in the world to receive it. The first was the Island of Palma, in the Canary Islands, Spain.
The status of Biosphere Gold Destination and the renewal of the "Biosphere Destination" certification are based on three tourist brands in Barcelona: Costa Barcelona, Paisajes Barcelona and Pirineos Barcelona. To acquire the Gold category, an audit process is carried out, to ensure that in addition to the Biosphere certification of the destination itself, the destination companies have developed a work of involvement and have obtained the Biosphere Commited Entity seal.
Barcelona Provincial Council has been a pioneer in promoting, through its "Commitment to Sustainability" programme, good practices in the sustainable management of tourism companies. More than 300 tourism companies and services participate in its programmes. The "Biosphere Destination" certification is awarded by the Institute for Responsible Tourism, an international organization that is a partner of the World Tourism Organization (WTO) and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). Its criteria are aligned with the fulfilment of the 17 Sustainable Development Objectives of the Agenda 2030 of the United Nations.
The certification implies assuming the principles of sustainable management, economic and social development, conservation and improvement of cultural heritage, environmental conservation, quality and safety and visitor involvement. The Biosphere Destination seal, at the same time, allows to improve the positioning and international promotion of tourist brands, in terms of sustainability and responsibility.
The Biosphere Gold certificate was awarded on the 9th of January by the president of the Institute of Responsible Tourism, Tomás Azcárate, to the president of Diputació de Barcelona, Marc Castells.


Moment 1: Perhaps the best curls on the planet on this lovely assissin.
Moment 2: The faux bob on lovely new Bond girl Berenice Marlohe.
Moment 3: I'm not totally sure if this is Morlohe again or if it's another one of the film's stars, Helen McCrory. But whoever it is looks lovely with her hair blowing in the wind on a boat.
Of course, this is all in the middle of a lot of stunts and high-speed car chases and whatnot—the usual Bond fair. And the critics have been giving it praise, so it all looks promising, very promising.
Are you excited for the movie, folks? And which of these hairstyles made you squeal with glee?
p.s. You can watch the trailer over on YouTube if you haven't already.

Esquilino è il quindicesimo rione di Roma, indicato con R. XV.

Il toponimo indica anche la zona urbanistica 1E del Municipio Roma I di Roma Capitale.

Geografia fisica

Territorio
Si trova nell'area est del centro storico.

Il rione confina con:
 a nord con il rione R. XVIII Castro Pretorio
 a est con i quartieri Q. XII Tiburtino e Q. VII Prenestino-Labicano
 a sud-est con il quartiere Q. X Tuscolano
 a ovest con il rione R. I Monti

Storia
Il nome "esquilino" deriva da quello del castrum degli Equites Singulares Augusti (guardia imperiale a cavallo) poiché sul Celio nei pressi dell'attuale via Tasso era la loro caserma (castra priora equitum singularium). L'imperatore Settimio Severo edificò un nuovo grande complesso denominato Castra Nova equitum singularium (Nuova Caserma dei cavalieri scelti) là dove oggi sorge la Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano.

L'Esquilino è uno dei rioni del centro storico. Di antica urbanizzazione (con Palatina, Collina e Suburrana era una delle quattro regiones della Roma serviana), con i suoi tre colli (Cispius, Oppius  e Fagutalis) comprendeva fino alla regionalizzazione di Augusto tutta l'area oggi attribuita al rione Monti.

Il territorio del rione attuale è tuttavia da sempre una sorta di territorio di confine della città, intesa come centro storico: inizialmente al margine delle Mura serviane, di cui conteneva l'agger, in età imperiale fu incluso nelle Mura aureliane, ma rimase sempre marginale alla città propriamente intesa, tanto che una delle etimologie del nome lo fa derivare dal termine latino esquiliae, che indicava i sobborghi.

Fino ad Augusto la zona oltre l'agger delle mura repubblicane era una sorta di vastissima discarica dei rifiuti della città, e sede anche di un cimitero, diviso in un'area per gli schiavi e una per i cittadini di modeste condizioni, che potevano però permettersi il posto in un colombarium. Rodolfo Lanciani descrive la scoperta e l'esplorazione di una settantina di questi puticoli, nelle vicinanze di quella che è oggi la stazione Termini.

La riforma urbana voluta da Augusto, in tempi in cui la città si era enormemente estesa e nessuno pensava che avrebbe mai più avuto bisogno di mura, seppellì fra l'altro sotto una decina di metri di terra di riporto questi terreni inquinati e pestilenziali; il terrapieno delle antiche mura divenne una sorta di passeggiata pubblica e su quei terreni sorsero gli Orti di Mecenate, splendidi giardini che contenevano fra l'altro un'alta torre dalla quale Svetonio dice che Nerone assistette all'incendio di Roma. Qui è stato riportato alla luce, nel 1874, lAuditorium di Mecenate. L'aula faceva parte di un complesso molto più ampio, che fu interamente demolito per rendere edificabile il terreno: la nuova capitale aveva bisogno di alloggi, e i suoi costruttori non andavano per il sottile.

Fino al tardo impero l'Esquilino fu sede di ville residenziali (Horti), piuttosto che di case popolari: nell'antichità il popolo continuava infatti ad ammassarsi nei rioni più in basso, come la Suburra.

Durante il medioevo la zona passò in possesso di vari ordini e conventi localizzati nei dintorni di Santa Maria Maggiore, e successivamente (dal Seicento) tornò ad essere sede di varie ville. In villa Palombara fu edificata nella seconda metà del Seicento la famosa Porta Alchemica, che si può ammirare oggi nei giardini di piazza Vittorio Emanuele II.

Le pur rilevanti persistenze antiche sono state completamente soffocate dalla parte residenziale del rione attuale, edificata ex novo dopo il 1870 come quartiere d'abitazione per la nuova borghesia impiegatizia (Nuovo Quartiere Esquilino). Ciò ne ha definito le caratteristiche edilizie ed urbanistiche.

Siti archeologici

 Auditorium di Mecenate, su largo Leopardi. Ninfeo del I secolo a.C.
 Sepolcro di Eurisace, su piazzale Labicano. Sepolcro del I secolo a.C.
Tomba monumentale situata esternamente alla porta Maggiore, quasi a ridosso di essa, fu costruita ad imitazione di un forno da panettiere e dedicata ad un fornaio romano.
 Porta Maggiore, fra piazzale Labicano e piazza di Porta Maggiore. Porta nelle mura aureliane del I secolo.
La grande struttura attuale a due fornici è quanto resta della mostra d'acque in cui convergevano otto degli acquedotti che alimentavano Roma, in particolare l'acquedotto Claudio. Incorporata nelle mura aureliane nel 272, fu rinominata Porta Praenestina (ancora oggi la via Prenestina esce da lì). Prese il nome di Porta Maggiore durante il medioevo, presumibilmente perché da lì si andava verso Santa Maria Maggiore.
 Basilica sotterranea di Porta Maggiore, all'inizio di via Prenestina. Basilica neopitagorica del I secolo.
Situata a poco più di 100 metri all'esterno delle mura aureliane, è una struttura scoperta nel 1917 di cui non è chiara la destinazione (sede di un culto pitagorico, monumento funerario?), ma che presenta importanti stucchi di carattere mitologico.
 Ninfeo di Alessandro, nei giardini di piazza Vittorio. Ninfeo del II-III secolo.
 Ipogeo degli Aureli, su via Luigi Luzzatti. Catacomba del III secolo.
 Anfiteatro castrense, su piazza di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. Anfiteatro del III secolo.
 Tempio di Minerva Medica, su via Giovanni Giolitti. Ninfeo del IV secolo.
 Arco di Sisto V, monumento realizzato nel 1585 come celebrazione del completamento dell'acquedotto Felice per volere del Papa Sisto V.

Punti salienti
Per la sua regolarità topografica, la zona si presenta come un quadrilatero molto allungato in corrispondenza dei terreni dedicati al traffico ferroviario. I punti salienti del rione sono:
 Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II: comunemente abbreviata in Piazza Vittorio è una piazza completamente porticata secondo la moda piemontese, unica nel suo genere a Roma. Al centro c'è un grande giardino, oggetto negli anni novanta di un restauro che ha permesso di salvare i resti dei cosiddetti "Trofei di Mario": il nome deriva da due trofei marmorei spostati poi da Sisto V alla Cordonata al Campidoglio. Nella zona si stabilì fin dagli anni 1960 una piccola comunità cinese e oggi l'area è profondamente multietnica.
