What is a Demulcent?
A demulcent is a herb rich in mucilage and can soothe and protect irritated or inflamed internal tissue. When they are used on the skin they are called emollients. Demulcents are used whenever a membrane is raw, hot, irritated, inflamed or over excited. They are cooling, soothing, healing and relaxing.
How Demulcents Work
These herbs contain varying amounts of complex mucilage materials. These gummy, slimy chemicals have a clear and direct action on the lining of the intestines that soothes and reduces irritation by direct contact. In the intestine many of these herbs act as a form of soluble fiber, absorbing much water and having a bulking & stool softening effect.
However, there are some remedies that have a similar action far from the site of absorption into the body. This means that they cannot have such a direct action on say, the urinary system, because the mucilage will have been broken down into its constituent parts, thus losing its unique soothing action.As with many other herbal actions, what demulcents do cannot always be explained pharmacologically. There is no doubt though that herbs can act as urinary demulcents or demulcents to the lungs. Some research has suggested that this may be due to a complex reflex response initiated by the gut. The mechanism proposed relates to embryonic development and the early developmental associations of tissues.
In general all mucilage containing demulcents have the general properties of:
Reducing irritation down the whole length of the bowel
Reducing the sensitivity of the digestive system to gastric acids
Helping to prevent diarrhea and reducing digestive muscle spasms
Easing coughing by a soothing of bronchial tension
Relaxing and easing painful spasm in the bladder and urinary system, and sometimes even the uterus.
Note: The use of demulcents or mucilage rich herbs internally may reduce rate of drug absorption by forming a semi-permeable coating over mucus membranes, delaying gastric emptying and by binding with intestinal contents. Caution should be taken with drugs with a narrow therapeutic window such as lithium, digoxin and insulin. This interaction may be of benefit with some medications such as Verapamil and other calcium channel blockers which may cause constipation by slowing transit time and increasing water resorption from the colon. Soluble fibre taken with lots of water may alleviate this. In general, take drugs at least one hour prior to ingesting large amounts of plant fibre / complex polysaccharides

The Queen's Gambit (REVIEW)
Well, I guess it was only a matter of time before I got around to hopping on this bandwagon. The fact that I did eventually cave is a bit of a surprise to me, as I am not known to be one who hops on bandwagons.
A Critic's Meta-Review: 4/5
Well, I guess it was only a matter of time before I got around to hopping on this bandwagon. The fact that I did eventually cave is a bit of a surprise to me, as I am not known to be one who hops on bandwagons. Case in point: I have not made it past the fifth episode of Game Of Thrones, and the last Marvel movie I watched was the first Avengers flick - and that was only because a family friend of ours played the little girl running in this scene (probably the most profitable minute she ever spent in her life, given the size and frequency of those royalty checks).
Once upon a time, there was a Chinese farmer who lost a horse. And all the neighbours came around that evening and said, "That's too bad."
And he said, "Maybe."
The next day the horse came back and brought seven wild horses with it. And all the neighbours came around and said, "Why that's great, isn't it?"
The next day his son was attempting to tame one of these horses and was riding it and was thrown and broke his leg. And all the neighbours came around in the evening and said, "Well that's too bad, isn't it."
And the farmer said, "Maybe."
The next day the conscription officers came around looking for people for the army and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. And all the neighbours came around in the evening and said, "Isn't that wonderful?"
— Alan Watts, Lecture on Zen, 1960
But it was bound to happen as, you see, I have always had immense reverence for the game of chess. This is not because (as one ex-fling put it) "the pieces look prettier than checkers" - though, to be fair, they do; rather, it is because I see the game of chess as a microcosm of life. For in life, as in chess, you must strategically position yourself for a future that you wish to bring to fruition, carefully tailoring each move you make towards the eventual attainment of that end, while simultaneously retaining the ability to adapt your plan if your circumstances begin to change. Furthermore, as a great Zen story popularized by psychonaut darling Alan Watts entitled "Maybe So, Maybe Not" - which, perhaps coincidentally (though likely not), is a phrase featured quite prominently in one of my all-time favourite Phish jams - illustrates, just because things are looking up (or down), that may not necessarily be the case; indeed, to quote another starry-eyed shepherd by the name of Jerome, "when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door".
I have certainly found all of this to be the case in both chess and in life. Just when you think you've got all your ducks in a row and feel as if you're ready to lunge forward, full throttle, and unleash all you've got, all of a sudden "Boom!" goes the dynamite.
And, just like that, you're right back on the defensive again. How did this happen? The answer is simple: this is precisely what is supposed to happen. The goal is not to win the game, but to master the art of playing it - which means, one must learn to exist in a state of complete and total presence - being, as Bruce Lee so wisely instructed all those years ago, formless and shapeless like water - while also remaining fully convinced that you are headed towards a resounding victory, and paving the way for this result in your mind, step-by-step.
Unfortunately for us, we do not have access to magical green pills that allow us to visualize the outcome of every single move we could possibly make on the ceiling right above us (spoiler alert: perhaps those pills weren't so magical after all...this is all I will say since I don't want to be that guy and suck the fun out of binge-watching the show). We do, however, have access to Netflix - at least most of us do. And if you have access to Netflix, then you probably have access to a remote control or some other type of mechanism with which you can pause or slow down the speed of whatever you happen to be watching.
This was something I tried to do several times while watching this show, purely for the purposes of snagging a few tournament-winning moves for myself to try out on any unsuspecting strangers that want it with me on chess.com (careful, though - I have been known to make quick work of my opponents...quick, quick work). Doing this proved rather unsuccessful, however, as I was much more deeply engrossed in the plot and enraptured by the incredibly well-selected soundtrack of eclectic sixties bops to be taking such detailed mental screenshots.

Speaking of the plot, there are a few elements that I must take issue with (hence the reduced rating). First of all, I find it rather nefarious that this show - along with most television shows, come to think of it - relies so heavily on the cliffhanger ending as a means of retaining viewership. It is like a drug that keeps you wanting more and more, despite the payoff oftentimes being quite dubious in the end. And on top of all that (not to spoil anything, don't worry), the whole thing sort of felt a little too...predictable. I found myself hoping for a curveball to be thrown my way, only to be met with the outcome that I had anticipated and yet wished would not have happened.
That being said, there were more than enough heartwarming moments to make up for the formulaic writing. So, it's definitely still worth a watch - especially if you feel the same way about chess as I do.
And if you don't, well - you're already playing it, whether you like it or not. Might as well get hip before someone mates you, mate.

Where's Ara? That was the question on everyone's lips back in 1993. Ara Bedrossian had arrived in a blaze of glory from Queens Park Rangers at the end of the 1992/93 season and made an instant impact.
An exciting, skilful midfielder with a knack for making things happen, the Cyprus international started the last seven matches and inspired the unbeaten run that saw the team win five and draw two of those games.
The following season arrived amidst much anticipation - with Bedrossian pulling the strings in the middle of the park, great things were expected. Except Bedrossian was nowhere to be seen. Rumour and gossip soon spread as to where he was, but in those pre-internet days, before wall-to-wall football coverage had been invented, nobody was sure if he was even at the Club any more.
But while Bedrossian was hidden away in the north, the fans were doing their bit. 'Ara Must Stay' signs appeared on the terraces and Mackay took a terrible hammering at a fans' forum where the sole question seemed to be, 'why isn't Ara here?' Mackay's answer was that Fulham couldn't afford him, and bizarrely suggested that perhaps the supporters could pay for him, something the faithful actually considered for a while.
Eventually, with the Team plummeting down the table, and injuries starting to bite, Mackay conceded defeat and contacted the player - who was by now being called the 'Little Cantona' by the Boro fans.
Bedrossian reappeared at the end of October, but by then the Club was in turmoil. Mackay was sacked with nine games left, but it wasn't enough to prevent relegation. When new broom Ian Branfoot was brought in at the beginning of the next season, Bedrossian found himself out of favour, with the more agricultural skills of Terry Hurlock being preferred to the mercurial Cypriot.
And it didn't. Bedrossian was allowed to leave - very reluctantly on his part. Spells in Italy and Sweden followed until he eventually found himself back in Cyprus where he played on until he was 35. These days he's the technical director of the Arsenal Soccer School in Cyprus as well as being the Gunners' scout for Eastern Europe. He also manages a highly successful futsal team - AGBU Ararat.
Bedrossian is overflowing with memories from his time at Fulham. "There are so many," he says. "The fans were great. I remember the last game of the season, against Exeter City. At the end all the supporters came on the pitch and lifted me up and carried me on their shoulders. The next thing I knew, Don Mackay was grabbing my shirt and shouting at them to put me down! It was just the fans showing their happiness, but he didn't like it. When the fans jokingly started calling me 'the Messiah', Simon Morgan stuck a sign on my hanger that said 'God'!
"I remember a great game against Burnley - we beat them 4-0 and I made all the goals. And the one goal I did score - against Blackpool, I was so excited I didn't know what to do! And I remember my Mum coming to watch me once - I played really well - but she had a right go at me because my shirt wasn't tucked in!

For a while in the darkest days of Fulham, the light of Kenny Achampong shone to become a cult hero.

Maziarz Backs Bellavia #Shotsfired
If you had any doubt that Chris Collins' star has not only faded, but has been all but extinguished, witness State Senator George Maziarz's astonishing, early endorsement of David Bellavia to challenge Democrat Kathy Hochul in the newly constituted NY-27.
In just a few short weeks, Bellavia has taken the reins in this Republican primary – he announced first, he challenged Collins to a series of debates – an activity Collins detests, and he has lined up the support of millionaire Jack Davis. Bellavia has seemingly accumulated not only momentum, but something he has always sorely lacked – money. Now, boots are on the ground collecting signatures, and Bellavia expects to well exceed the approximately 1,000 signatures needed to get on the Republican ballot, and may also seek a second line.
Collins has a tough row to hoe. As I wrote in November, Collins' tenure in government was packed with mini-scandals. He referred to the Jewish Assembly Speaker as the "anti-Christ", and the time when Collins jokingly demanded a "lap dance" in order to save a seat at the State of the State address for a well-connected female executive at a local construction company. It ignores the fact that, to some people, informing them days before Christmas that they'd be losing their state-funded daycare services and that they'd have to quit their jobs to watch their kids, is quite scandalous indeed.
Secondly, Collins did not, as some claim, "fulfill all his promises". Collins raised taxes, deepened regional cleaves, and ran on "Three Rs – Reforming Erie County government, Rebuilding the local economy, and ultimately, Reducing taxes."
He did not reform county government – in fact, he resisted and blocked reforms almost routinely (another "r"); he did not rebuild the local economy, but ensured that stimulus funds were hoarded to artificially improve his balance sheet; and he did not reduce – but raised – taxes. That's breaking your promises, and that's failure under any measure. It's no wonder he lost.
Bellavia is now collecting support from the Republican establishment – especially those who were never big fans of Collins'. Here is the relevant text of the Maziarz endorsement press release:
New York State Senator George D. Maziarz today announced his Republican Primary endorsement of conservative Republican David Bellavia for Congress in the 27th Congressional District of New York.
"I've known David Bellavia and his family for many years and I can speak with great confidence about his principle, honor, and integrity," Sen. Maziarz said. "I am very proud of the way David represented western New York when he fought so heroically in the Iraq War. When he returned from combat I encouraged his interest in politics and I can say without reservation David Bellavia is by far the best person to represent our area in Congress."
Upon Bellavia's return from combat, Maziarz was instrumental in awarding him with the New York State Conspicuous Service Cross and inducting him into the New York State Veterans Hall of Fame.
"While I admire David for his military service, it is important for the voters to know his knowledge of national issues far exceeds his opponent in the Republican Primary and his general election competitor," Sen. Maziarz said. "David knows how those issues impact the working class, because he is just like the constituents of the 27th District – a hardworking family man who knows what it's like to struggle with high taxes and balancing the family budget."
"I am humbled by Sen. Maziarz's early support in this Republican Primary because I know he weighs endorsements very carefully," Bellavia said. "He has been a mentor to me with his advice and counsel and an example to me with how he conducts himself as a public servant. His backing is a real shot in the arm for our campaign, especially because almost his entire State Senate district lies within the 27th Congressional District."
"I will strive to serve Sen. Maziarz's constituents in Congress with as much devotion to duty as he has shown for 17 years in the State Senate," Bellavia said.

Capital Views: Historic Photographs of Washington, DC, Alexandria and Loudoun County, Virginia, and Frederick County, Maryland
by James M. Goode
Metropolitan areas change over the time. These changes come together and create a city's character and personality. Renowned Washington, DC, historian James Goode has assembled an incredible collection of images that look back at a Washington before it developed into the international metropolitan city it is today. The impactful historic photography exposes the elements of the DC metro area that have disappeared: the dairy farms of Loudoun County, the railroad round house in Alexandria, and model boats on the Rainbow Pool on the National Mall, as well as provide startling different views of areas and neighborhoods that still exist. The majority of these images have never been published, and under the curatorial eye of James Goode have been put together in a way that give readers a better understanding of the city Washington DC was, and the city it was to become.
James Goode
James Goode is the winner of Washingtonian magazine's prestigious "Washingtonian of the Year" award. He is the author of Best Addresses: A Century of Washington's Distinguished Apartment Houses and lives in Washington, DC.
Through lively, descriptive text and a treasure-trove of historical photographs (many never before published), historian Goode (Capital Losses: A Cultural History of Washington's Destroyed Buildings) has woven a wonderful story of Washington, DC, and its surrounding suburban communities. The author, who has made a life's work of the capital's history and authored four previous books about Washington, artfully selected and organized this book around eight thoroughly enjoyable chapters: the National Mall; Market Square; the Hay-Adams Houses; Washington, DC, in 1908; Washington, DC, in the 1930s; Lost Landmarks of Alexandria, VA; Loudoun County, VA; and Frederick County, MD. Many of the images feature familiar and not-so-familiar landmarks, accompanied by brief histories and interspersed with photographs of people at work and play in a variety of activities. These latter images, in particular, offer a touching, human quality to this photo-essay and reminds readers that Washington, DC, is not only a center of politics but of people going about their everyday lives. Anyone interested in historical photography and American social and cultural history, especially of the nation's capital, will love this book. Highly recommended.

Wow is all i have to really say. as a crazy fashionista that went to 12 bridal boutiques this was the one i chose. i found the dress i wanted which was rivoli by san patrick/ pronovias. i actually tried it on at another boutique but they wanted wayyyy to much and the alteration cost were well over my budget. i proceeded to call a few other places that carried my dress to find the best price. Dolores bridal had the best price, and the cost of regular alterations were included at no additional charge. however i wanted to add a sweet heart neckline to my dress which was a nominal fee. now, at first glance walking into this shop, it is really small compared to alot of places i went to, and very modest. at first i was worried that everything would not work out, it just seemed all too good to be true. but everything went smoothly. my dress came in on time, i did my fittings. they added a belt to my dress for me that i purchased elsewhere at no additional charge. the dress fit like a dream. on my wedding day i got a billion compliments and i made sure to tell everybody where i got the dress. they are very professional and know exactly what they are doing. so do not be fooled by the small modest looking boutique because they made my dream dress come true!!!!!!
Thank you so much for all of your work and guidance in assisting me in finding the perfect wedding dress. I loves working with you. Your kindness, patience, and overall genuine attitude made dress shopping so much fun! Thank you for helping in making my wedding day the best ever.

Mutinus caninus, de ses noms vernaculaires, Phalle ou Phallus de chien, ou Satyre du chien est un champignon agaricomycète du genre Mutinus et de la famille des Phallaceae.

Contrairement au genre Phallus (Satyre puant), les espèces du genre Mutinus sont beaucoup plus grêles et n'ont pas de "chapeau" séparable, la gléba recouvrant plus ou moins la partie supérieure du stipe.

Description
Le primordium de Mutinus caninus sort d'un œuf ovoïde, piriforme ou cylindracé, jusqu'à , relié à plusieurs longs cordons mycéliens, appelés rhizoïdes. À la coupe, comme les Phallus mais l'amande est plus étirée et rougeâtre .

L'adulte mesure 8-10 (15) cm de haut et 5 à  de diamètre au niveau de la partie fertile".

À la différence des Mutins tropicaux (Mutinus elegans, bambussinus, ou américains (Mutinus ravenelii), le Satyre du chien est "capité" par une courte "tête" adhérente, nettement délimitée par un renflement et une dépression, peu pointue en forme d'amande, contrastant aussi par sa couleur rouge orangé sous la gléba vert olive sombre.

Le stipe est cylindracé, souvent courbé à maturité, grêle et fragile, un peu plus épais au sommet, blanchâtre puis jaune orangé clair, rarement rosé, longuement enveloppé à la base par une volve allongée, molle et blanche.

Odeur de tabac, de fruit, désagréable seulement à 10-20 cm de distance du nez humain.

Comme chez le Phallus, le péridium est composé de trois couches, la couche interne étant gélatineuse et ambrée.

Spores 4-5 x 1-2,5 µm, cylindro-elliptiques, hyalines, lisses. Basides à 6-spores.

Assez rare en France mais largement distribué et pouvant être fréquent localement dans les régions tempérées, de juillet à novembre, surtout dans les forêts de charmes, de chênes ou de hêtres, et plus rarement dans l'humus d'autres bois, jardins et parcs (conifères).

Dangerous apps? Beijing's national DNA database. Israel, Greece undertake cyber cooperation. Section 230 revision? Vault 7 report.
Indian intelligence services list fifty-two apps they say are dangerously close to China's government.
China is developing a national DNA database.
Greece and Israel undertake to promote cybersecurity cooperation.
US Justice Department seeks clarification of Section 230.
Redacted WikiLeaks Task Force report published.
Indian intelligence services warn against apps linked to China.
Border skirmishes with China have moved India's government to higher states of alert, both kinetic and cyber, the Economic Times reports. The Hindustan Times outlines one aspect of that alert: publication of the National Security Council Secretariat's list of fifty-two apps it finds too close to the Chinese government for comfort. Some of the apps are well-known and widely used: Zoom and TikTok, to name two, are both on the list. India's intelligence services would ideally like to see the fifty-two suspect apps blocked.
It's said to be under development in the service of criminal investigations, but a New York Times article draws attention to the database's utility in pervasive surveillance. Beijing is starting with the country's male population, which amounts to some seven-hundred-million, give or take a few baker's dozen.
Greece and Israel sign cyber cooperation agreement.
Senior Greek and Israeli officials this week signed a joint statement on cooperation in cyberspace. The two governments intend to "promote cooperation" in the following areas:
"Engage in a mutual operational dialogue.
"Joint projects for enhancing national cyber platforms (i.e. CERT/SOC).
"Cooperate on workforce training initiatives.
"Increasing cyber resilience, by sharing government cybersecurity know-how, best practices, legal and regulatory frameworks, methodologies and strategic insights."
US Department of Justice soon to announce plans for revision of online platforms' immunities?
The Wall Street Journal reports that the US Department of Justice will soon announce a proposed limitation of the immunities online platforms currently enjoy under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. The recommendations are expected to include a requirement that the platforms develop and consistently enforce clear guidelines concerning the content they host, which would end the current practice of platforms' ability to remove content the platforms deem "objectionable." Justice would seek, the Journal writes, to "give some teeth to an existing 'good faith' standard that platforms are supposed to use in their content-moderation decisions."
The Washington Post has shared the full (albeit understandably redacted) text of the CIA's WikiLeaks Task Force report. With respect to Langley's mission systems, at least, the report bluntly states, "CIA has moved too slowly to put in place the safeguards that we knew were necessary given successive breaches to other US Government agencies." It adds later, "We have been slow—due to resource choices and cultural resistance—to extend state-of-the-art audit and user activity monitoring technology to mission systems not connected to the main enterprise network." And it assesses that WikiLeaks should be assumed to have everything the affected CIA unit kept in Stash or Confluence.
Chris Roberts, Hacker in Residence at Semperis, offered some perspective on the whole Vault 7 incident:
"Let's start with the caveat that NOTHING is infallible— nothing will protect you, the only things you can do is to reduce the risks, reduce the exposure, AND monitor/manage the heck out of what's left. Saying that, there are some basic things AND some basic attack vectors that we all know understand and recognize in our industry, and when those basics are not followed, or red tape gets in the way of sensible decisions, that's when mistakes happen, and adversaries or bad actors/internal threats can take advantage of a situation. So, if authentication and Active Directory were well monitored, managed, and controlled, you'd certainly slow down someone trying to get to the data. You put correct access controls, oversight, and reporting on that sensitive data. You've got another layer for someone to deliberately break through (and you NOT to notice the alerts) and then exfiltration you can only walk out with something IF someone lets you. So, working to close those holes down too, again, all basic, but if you're not focusing on them you can pretty much drive the dump truck up to the datacenter and walk off with everything."
Read the 2017 report by the CIA's WikiLeaks Task Force (Washington Post) An elite hacker unit's failure to secure its systems enabled a massive theft of data in 2016 that found its way onto WikiLeaks a year later, a task force report said. The theft was the result of a culture that prioritized "building cyber weapons at the expense of" system security, the report said.

Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer (Monte-Carlo SBM) has transformed the world-renowned Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo — the beating heart of Monaco's playground for the world's rich and famous, founded in 1864 — into the modern age, piece by piece and over four long years, without ever closing its doors.
Hôtel de Paris and "Monte-Carlo" (a then new district of Monaco…) were essentially the dream of Charles III, the Prince who ruled from 1856 until his death in 1889. He commissioned Frenchman Francois Blanc who had successfully developed a first 'resort' concept in Bad Homburg – Germany. Although Monte-Carlo was almost immediately a success in its European backyard, it is under the reign of Prince Rainier III and in the wake of His wedding with Hollywood icon Grace Kelly that Monaco acquired World fame. Nowadays, 150 years after Monte-Carlo was developed, Monaco boasts the highest per-capita-income in the world although it is smaller than Manhattan's Central Park and it has no arable land or mineral resources. Located on the Mediterranean shore near the French-Italian border and with 498 police officers for 39,000 residents, it is one of the safest places on earth. Often known for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, Monaco is also a country which has been pioneering renewable energy and clean technologies as exemplified by the Monaco e-Grand Prix, the eco-responsible Grimaldi Forum Congress Centre, the Monte-Carlo e-Rally or the marine conservation "Monaco Blue Initiative", attended annually by experts in ocean management and conservation from United Nations agencies and more. Monaco's large impact in the global arena as a forerunner in the global effort towards sustainability and conservation defies what its small territory may suggest. This dream is now governed by Rainier's son Prince Albert II, who carries on the legacy of his forefathers through his Foundation's efforts for the preservation of the environment, endangered species and water.
Favoured stomping grounds of the international elite, yet also a stronghold of efficiency and sustainability, Monaco is a place where anything is possible. The Principality's latest feat is the stunning 270 million Euro renovation of the Hôtel de Paris, a hotel that Prince Charles III had built to be the most luxurious in the world.
The 100-room hotel built by the architect Dutrou in 1864, has been expanded seven times over the years and benefitted from a romantic destiny that saw it become part of the history of Monaco and also of the world. The hotel was the first in Europe to boast electricity and private bathrooms in each room, each with running hot water. The best architects, decorators and artists were commissioned for the hotel, which has welcomed royalty, heads of state, ministers, heads of industry, scientists, artists and celebrities for over 150 years. With clientele that included Rockefeller, Rothschild, Vanderbilt, Churchill, Ravel, Debussy, Berlioz, Charlie Chaplin, Errol Flynn or Cary Grant, the hotel soon became as famous as its guests. The Hôtel de Paris has hosted numerous society events including balls and charity galas including the famous Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses.
The meticulous modernisation of this iconic hotel started in 2014, with the vision to articulate and further define the founder François Blanc's dream of "a hotel that surpasses everything", thus perpetuating the legend into the 21st century.
Partial deconstruction, reconstruction, the harmonisation of spaces, the design of new areas, creation of exclusive suites and the evolution of gastronomy; the transformation of Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo was entrusted to architects Richard Martinet and Gabriel Viora, who dedicated themselves to enhancing and preserving the timeless spirit of the building.
• In May 2017, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo revealed the revived Rotunda Wing, showcasing new rooms that further elevate the standard of the hotel with a minimum size of 34 m2, using the most refined materials available.
• In November 2017, the sumptuous Princess Grace Suite was inaugurated by H.S.H Prince Albert II and Princess Stéphanie – it is the most exclusive suite in Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo to date.
• In June 2018, the famous Le Bar Américain unveiled its new-refreshed look, by interior designers David Collins Studio with a new terrace that opens onto the sea and Place du Casino.
• The new Monte-Carlo Suite followed – found at the heart of the hotel, it prolongs the "luxury gaming" experience of Casino de Monte-Carlo for the most prestigious players on the planet seeking discretion and an even more personalised service.
• In December 2018 Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo unveiled its new courtyard patio. A 671 m² green space at the heart of the hotel, it is a prestigious courtyard lined with luxury boutiques including Graff, Harry Winston, Omega and Stardust.
• At the very end of 2018, the famous Louis XV – Alain Ducasse à l'Hôtel de Paris restaurant regained its original setting next to Place du Casino. The golden decorations, frescoes and hangings in the Salle Empire have all been restored to their full splendour.
• Following the popularity of 3 Michelin-starred restaurant Louis XV – Alain Ducasse à l'Hôtel de Paris, the award-winning chef introduced a new restaurant in January 2019, Ô Mer. Found on the ground floor of the Rotunda Wing, the restaurant, designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, overlooks the beautiful hotel gardens and offers a Mediterranean menu with flavours and tastes from Greece, Lebanon, Turkey, Morocco and Tunisia – with a hint of the Hispanic, the Riviera and Maltese shores.
• 29 January saw the inauguration of a spectacular new suite on the top floor, overlooking Place du Casino: Suite Prince Rainier III. The largest suite at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the suite has been meticulously dressed with personal objects and ornaments, and offers a one-of-akind experience.
Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo now boasts a total of 207 rooms, 60% of which are suites and include the two most exceptional suites on the Riviera, the Suite Princess Grace and Suite Prince Rainier III.
There is no better destination for gourmet indulgence. Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo houses a prestigious collection of internationally renowned restaurants, notably the 3-Michelin-starred Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse à l'Hôtel de Paris; Le Grill, a tribute to former SBM-shareholder and shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis; and Ducasse's new Mediterranean concept Ô Mer highlighting the best of cuisines found throughout the Mediterranean region; famous cocktail bar: Bar Americain; and the Cave de l'Hôtel de Paris, one of the largest private wine cellars in the world with over 250,000 fine and rare bottles on site.
Wellness is currently one of the biggest global trends in travel, with nearly all travelers prioritising health and wellness destinations and activities. Hôtel de Paris is home to one of the finest spas in Europe, the 75,000-sq-ft Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo. The spa is famous for its preventative health care and wellness programmes executed by a team of experts including therapists, a doctor, a nutritionist, and health and sports trainers who define the personalised treatments and protocols in accordance with each person's characteristics.
Boasting a magical location right on Monte Carlo's famous Place du Casino, the Hôtel de Paris will again be the best place, right on the track, to watch the legendary Monaco Grand Prix of Formula 1 this May.
"The Hôtel de Paris and Monaco have been a traveller's dream since the inception of Monte-Carlo. Hotel de Paris is a beautifully nuanced nugget of Monaco's history and we trust that with the new life which it has now taken on, an experience there will also inspire you in uncovering the many gems that lie within the Principality," shares Benoit Badufle, Managing Director of Monaco Government Tourism Bureau Asia Office.

Elis to Face Harvard this Weekend

BOSTON, Mass. - The Yale men's cross country team is set to compete this Friday at Franklin Park in Boston against Ivy League rival Harvard. Only seven Bulldogs have raced so far this season, so this meet is the season opener for the majority of the team. The men's race is 6,000 meters and will start at 2:00 p.m.
The Bulldogs' captain Trevor Reinhart makes his season debut as the leader of the squad and the sole representative of the senior class. Reinhart placed sixth at the 2017 Ivy League Heptagonal Championships and went on to win an individual title at Indoor Heps.
The junior class will be represented by Jonathan Lomogda, Armstrong Noonan, Allen Siegler, Austin Stoner and Kohl Swift. Lomogda placed 24th at Ivy Heps in 2017, and is the sixth returning junior in the league. He led the Bulldogs for the majority of last season while Reinhart was sidelined. Noonan has proven to be a solid force on the team and will be a valuable scorer over the course of the season. Siegler is coming off a break-out season and has a lot to prove over the 8,000m college distance this year. Expect to see him creep up the results list as the season progresses. Stoner and Swift are entering this weekend with a meet under their belts, so they both have already shaken off some early season rust.
The Bulldogs' sophomore class stepped up last year and is now more mature They will be relied upon this weekend. Neil Braganza and Charlie Gardner were the third and fourth Bulldogs across the line at last year's Heps, and they are geared toward consistently scoring for the team this season. Nick Dahl, Will Laird and Patrick Perry showed a lot of promise throughout their first year at Yale. Alex Whittaker and Cameron Wyman were middle distance specialists on the track for the Bulldogs, and will be looking to showcase their speed at this weekend's meet.
First-years Cade Brown, Robert Miranda, Brendan Murray, Evan Pattinelli and Harrison Smith will all be racing against Harvard this weekend. These athletes have already debuted as Bulldogs, having worked well as a group last week at the Fordham Fiasco. The shorter race distance of 6,000m will be more suited to them, as it is closer to the high school distance than the normal collegiate distance.
Results and a recap will be posted following the conclusion of the meet.

The writer of Jonah will thematically link his story to that of creation and redemption.
When God created the heavens and the earth, it was by the power of his Word. But his Word is always accompanied by the Holy Spirit. This is signified in Genesis by the Spirit or Breath of God fluttering over the face of the deep.
Prophecy and mission are not inborn qualities, but created by the work of God's Word and Spirit. The book of Jonah begins with the fact of God as first mover, as creator of Jonah's office and mission.
In the story of Noah, there is again the theme of hovering over the face of the waters. A dove is sent out on mission. The dove brings back an olive branch. The flight of the dove echoes back to Genesis. In the Noah story, God does not create, but renews His creation. The dove also is that sign by which God manifests the Holy Spirit during Christ's baptism. This is fitting in as much as it is through Christ, whose baptism we share in, that God inaugurates a new creation.
The name 'Jonah' means dove. But this dove which God has sent out to save the people of Nineveh flew off in the opposite direction. The Jewish people who were called to be a priestly nation unto the world have also gone astray.

Q: Can an AWS Lambda function call another normal python function from a python file? I have a python file that has a bunch of functions. For each function, I have to create a respective AWS lambda function so that the AWS Lambda function calls that normal function. Is there a way to achieve this? For ex ->
Normal function:
def add_num(input1, input2):
   return input1 + input2

Now I want an AWS lambda function to call this above function. How can I do this?

A: Yes, you can.
There are two popular option to make your custom libraries available for your lambda function.

*

*Bundle your function's custom libraries with your deployment package:

You need to create a deployment package if you use the Lambda API to manage functions, or if you need to include libraries and dependencies other than the AWS SDK. You can upload the package directly to Lambda, or you can use an Amazon S3 bucket, and then upload it to Lambda.

*Create a lambda layer with your libraries and other dependencies you require. The advantage of this approach over 1 is that you can reuse common code across multiple lambda function:

With layers, you can use libraries in your function without needing to include them in your deployment package.

With either of the above options, you can import your libraries as you usually do on a local workstation. For example:
import myutils

def handler_name(event, context):

    some_value = myutils.add_num(1, 2)
    ...
    return some_value

Peter Doherty FitzGerald
May 6, 1938 — June 16, 2019
GLENS FALLS — Peter Doherty FitzGerald, 81, passed away on June 16, 2019 at the family home in Glens Falls.
Peter, the second of three sons of Edmund J. FitzGerald and Mary McManus FitzGerald, was born May 6, 1938 in Troy. His earliest years were spent in Manhasset, until the family moved upstate and settled in Fayetteville, where his father was an officer with the Niagara Mohawk Corporation.
Peter graduated from Fayetteville-Manlius High in 1956. He earned a bachelor's degree from Le Moyne College in 1960. While at Le Moyne, he spent two summers in Quantico, Virginia with the United States Marine Corps in the Platoon Leaders Class. After graduation from Le Moyne College, Peter was commissioned in the United State Marine Corps as a 2nd lieutenant. Peter's active duty was deferred so he could attend law school. Peter received his law degree from Syracuse University College of Law in 1963 and was admitted to both the New York State and The District of Columbia Bar Associations. Throughout his life, Peter remained very connected to his friends from his youth in the Syracuse area.
Following his education, Peter went on active duty with the United States Marine Corps and completed a 3 year tour. Peter served in Okinawa, Japan, and with the First Marine Division in Chu Lai, Vietnam. As a captain with the Judge Advocates Group, Peter served as both a trial lawyer and defense counsel for the General Courts-Martial. Peter identified himself as a proud Marine throughout his life.
Upon returning to the United States and while stationed in Quantico, Virginia, he met the love of his life, Mary-Elizabeth "Mimi" Toohey, in Washington D.C. Peter and Mimi went on a blind date on New Year's Day in 1967, and so began their great adventure together.
After completing his Marine Corps service in the spring of 1967, at the urging of his father, Peter joined the law firm of LaPann and Reardon and moved to Glens Falls. Peter and Mimi were married on Sept. 16, 1967 in Westport, Massachusetts, with a reception at the Naval Officers Club in Newport, Rhode Island. Following their wedding, Mimi joined Peter in Glens Falls, where they would reside for the next 52 years.
Peter was a gifted communicator and storyteller. As such, he had a robust law career and never grew tired of litigating.
He thrived in private practice as a trial lawyer, and in 1971 became a partner with the law firm of LaPann and Reardon. Throughout the years, the law firm broadened and became LaPann, Reardon, FitzGerald & Firth.
In 1990, Peter and three attorneys, Peter Firth, Robert Morris and Carl Baker, formed the firm of FitzGerald, Morris, Baker, and Firth, where he continued his practice until his retirement in 2005.
Peter enjoyed broad participation in the legal community throughout the state. As a young lawyer, he served as the Warren County Assistant District Attorney. He was an active member in the Warren County Bar Association, where he served as president and was named director emeritus in 2010. Additionally, he served as president of the Warren County Bar Association's Foundation, which raises money for young students to attend law school.
He was also involved in the New York State Bar Association, where he was a member of the House of Delegates, served as vice president of the New York State Bar Association for the Fourth Judicial District, served on multiple Executive Committees and was appointed as chair for the State Bar Association's Committee on the Jury System from 2003-2006. He was a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates and served as the president of the Capital District's Defense Research Institute.
Peter loved Glens Falls and was very active in the community. He served for three years as president of the YMCA and co-chaired their general fund drive for the capital expansion project and creation of the "new Y." He served on the Board of the Tri-County United Way as both president and chair of their annual campaign. He was a past commander of the American Legion and a life member of the Marine Corp League. He was an active member St. Mary's Church, where he taught CCD and served as chairman of the Finance Committee. Peter worked for the expansion of Crandall Library and he took great satisfaction in delivering Meals on Wheels.
Peter loved an active lifestyle and took every opportunity to play sports and compete with his family and friends. With Mimi, he enjoyed adventure and possessed a genuine interest in culture. Together, they traveled extensively throughout North America, Asia, the Pacific and Europe, with Italy as his favorite destination.
His true lifelong passion was the game of golf. Peter was an avid golfer and an active member of the Glens Falls Country Club for 48 years, serving as president and on the Board of Governors. He loved playing golf with friends and family, the lessons the game teaches and the stories shared on the course. Over his lifetime, Peter managed to card five holes-in-one, which he attributed to Irish luck.
Peter's greatest joy was his family. He was a devoted spouse, parent, grandparent, brother and uncle. He thrived in the role of coach and advocate, taking great pleasure and an active interest in the lives of his family.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Mimi; his daughter, Deirdre FitzGerald Fabbro, her husband, Mark and their two children, Eleanor and John, all of Hingham, Massachusetts; and his son, Andrew Doherty, his wife, Lee Harmon and their daughter, Kate, all of Los Angeles, California.
He is survived by his two brothers, Thomas "Deak" and his wife, Holly, of South Carolina and Edmund of Rock Hill, South Carolina, with whom he enjoyed lively golf matches and political discussions.
He had a special relationship with his brother-in-law, Michael J. Toohey of Saratoga Springs, with whom he shared legal guidance and advice as well as a valued friendship.
Peter's warmth, humor, intelligence and open heart were evident to all that knew him. He is a devoted and cherished friend who will be greatly missed.
He courageously fought Alzheimer's disease for many years. He was at home for the duration of his illness with the help of two devoted and loving caregivers, Sarah Haight and Pam Woodward.

Leading women in content marketing
Women are among the leading lights of the emerging field of content marketing, says Sarah Mitchell, a former journalist, who is one among those women.
Mitchell, the head of content strategy at Perth agency Lush Digital Media, can instantly produce a list of 16 women she follows who are "at the top of their game", including seven in Australia [see list at the end of this story].
Mitchell, an American who moved with her husband to Australia in 2002, was an early adopter of content as a marketing tool. She recalls first using "content" in 1996. But it was during five years spent in direct sales for a computer software company that she refined this strategy to support her consultative approach to selling. "I would speak to clients all day but I didn't have anything to leave them. I would go back to the office at night and write case studies and white papers."
Mitchell later came across the writings of Joe Pulizzi, founder of the Content Marketing Institute in the US. "He really made a lot of sense to me," she says. "I knew developing content was going to be a good business opportunity for me."
As a freelancer in Perth, Mitchell shared clients with Lush Digital Media before she took up her role there. She was creating content strategies and implementing them; Lush was making their videos.
"Lush spent a long time getting to understand content marketing and felt that was the area to move into," Wilson says. "My problem was whenever I wanted to put something together, I didn't have a team. They didn't have the strategy background or writing, which was my area."
She has been consulting to Lush full-time for the past six months.
Content marketing gains status, but it's not all good
In her experience – Mitchell has lived on five continents and worked in corporate environments in six – Australia is behind other countries in adopting content marketing.
"In 2010, no one [here] was talking about content marketing; they didn't know what I was talking about," says Mitchell. "In 2012, we were still doing awareness programs."
In the past year, however, Mitchell says things have changed. Content Marketing World, an annual Sydney event that started in 2013, last year drew a crowd of about 400 people. This year's event is expected to be bigger again.
But Mitchell says many agencies claiming to do content marketing – such as former SEO, social media marketing and advertising agencies – have not really changed their business model, they have simply renamed it.
The journalist's viewpoint
"What we really do is tell stories with a media mindset," says Mitchell. "That is how James Lush, co-founder and co-director of Lush Digital Media, puts it."
Mitchell stresses the agency's journalistic credentials: co-founders James and Alex Lush both worked in BBC radio.
The most important element of successful content marketing is strategy, Mitchell says. "I am not interested in doing piecemeal work. We help clients develop a strategy, and then content around that strategy. I can write dozens of blog posts – and it's the same with video and podcasting – but if there is no strategy attached to it, ultimately it is not very effective."
Mitchell says many companies "dip their toe in the water" and give up when they don't get instant results. "We know for sure that businesses that have a documented strategy and follow it are more successful than those who don't. It is a slow-burn process. It can take 12-18 months to see results, which is a long time, and [often] people quit before they see return on investment."
Sarah Mitchell and James Lush will be speakers at this year's Content Marketing World in Sydney from March 16-18.

Kitsch designs are an epitome of quirkiness. If you like experimenting with decor ideas and are tired of mundane "play-it-safe" concepts, then kitsch is your destination. Exotic concepts, bright colours, bold designs, are some of the ideas that come with the kitsch package. Flashy yet quixotic, kitsch designs are apt for bachelor pads, studio homes and eccentric abodes. Non-contemporary and traditional homes can introduce an element of kitsch in the form of accessories offered by brands like Tappu Ki Dukaan, Chumbak, Quirk Designs, Happily Unmarried, and Earth Store. Kitsch décor accessories bring in the fun element into your spaces. Unusual refrigerator magnets and artistic tins from Chumbak are apt for some design element in your kitchens.
An ideal kitsch corner can be created using a statement furniture piece and an eclectic mural on the wall.
This also gives your abode a more personalised look.
Kitsch artwork is primarily identified as sentimental art. Therefore it is usually associated with high-end drama or melodrama. This kind of art in right amount can liven up your abodes while exuding a positive vibe to the ambience. Wallpapers with prints reminiscent of a retro era, teamed up with a bright neon-coloured furniture piece can spruce up your commonplace living room into a kitsch haven.
Cushions and bed spreads with pop-art designs are another way to infuse some kitsch. Imagine waking up next to Rekha and M. Monroe!
Fascinating, isn't it? Kitsch is fun personified and the art form explores the extreme of experimentation. If you'd like some edge of Zen, then you could hang these pop art Buddha murals on your bedroom walls.
Taking cues from retro concept fashion, kitsch lends a classical yet trendy look to your abode. You cannot underplay it or overdo it, you can only kitsch it right! Open up your minds to this dynamic décor concept and kitsch it up in style.
After all, who doesn't like a little bit of drama?

Sinn Féin will vote against cynical Social Welfare and Pensions Bill – Ó Snodaigh
8 June, 2011 - by Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD
Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Social Protection Aengus Ó Snodaigh has today stated that his party will vote against the "cynical and inappropriate" Social Welfare and Pensions Bill.
Deputy Ó Snodaigh said that the inclusion of the restoration of the minimum wage in the Bill masks what amounts to a 16% cut in the state pension.
Deputy Ó Snodaigh said:
"Before the election Fine Gael and Labour made a commitment to protect the state pension. Róisín Shorthall in May 2010 said that 'the Labour Party will vigorously oppose any attempt to cut the state pension'. The measures contained in this Bill to raise the state pension age to 68 actually amount to a 16% cut in pension entitlements.
"The tactic of including the restoration of the minimum wage in the Bill is cynical in the extreme and is an attempt to muddy the waters to distract from the far-reaching attack on the state pension.
"This is yet another u-turn from a Government which has totally abandoned all of its pre-election commitments.
"There is no way Sinn Féin can support this Bill. We will have no choice but to vote against it.
"Tomorrow Sinn Féin will table an amendment on the Finance Bill to restore the minimum wage. We believe that this is the appropriate avenue to do this as the cut originated in a Finance Bill. I am calling on all parties to support this important amendment tomorrow."

Jeremy Cowart, Photographer
Celebrity photographer Jeremy Cowart has shot the likes of Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, Lindsey Buckingham, and Carrie Underwood (he's even gone on tour with Britney Spears!), but he's more than just a guy who spends his days surrounded by famous faces. The Nashville native has devoted much of his time to making the world a better place through humanitarian projects like Help-Portrait and an array of speaking gigs. With some serious shoots in the can and a new passion project on the horizon, Cowart is ready for his own close-up.
Star power: As a kid who didn't exactly excel in academics, Cowart wasn't always sure of his path. Once he discovered artand later photographyhe knew he'd found his calling. But even this confident shooter can get a little camera-shy. 'I still get starstruck," he says. 'The first time was when I got to photograph StingI was a blubbering, dorky mess. Recently, I was on set with Oprah and Tyler Perry. That was definitely a 'made it' moment."
Finding his purpose: Cowart's latest gig has him stepping out from behind the camera and giving back. He's working to launch The Purpose Hotel, a global hospitality chain in which every aspectfrom room keys to soap to linens to furnitureis related to a cause or a nonprofit. The first will open in his hometown.
'Nashville is a very loving, giving city," he says. 'The people here are incredibly kind, so I love the idea that this hotel will expand around the world, but it will forever reflect the kindness and generosity of our great city. It's just really meaningful for the story to start here, with us."
(Keep an eye out for a Kickstarter campaign launch later this spring.)
When inspiration strikes: Cowart says the idea for The Purpose Hotel came to him, appropriately enough, while traveling. 'It was a simple room number at a hotel in L.A. that got my mind spinning," he recalls. 'I thought, 'What if every room could sponsor a child and tell their story?' The entire vision for The Purpose Hotel hit me in seconds. I thought, 'What if everything in the building was connected to a cause or a nonprofit?'"
A lasting impression: Whether it's documenting his surroundings or working on a global charitable endeavor, Cowart finds satisfaction in a job well done. 'The highlight of my career so far has been bringing ideas to life," he says. 'It's hard to get any idea off the ground, but I love the process of seeing something come to life. It's incredibly rewarding."
