Spain back on the quarantine list: Counting the cost of the Costas
Anyone arriving to any part of the UK from any part of Spain (including the Canary and Balearic Islands) on or after 26 July 2020 will for the coming weeks at least have to self-isolate for two weeks. Tom Jones and David Sheppard look at what this means for the employment of those workers now facing the prospect of 14 days in strict quarantine.
The Government announcement was made during the evening of 25 July 2020, and the removal of Spain from the UK's travel corridors exemption list took effect at midnight on 26th July, giving most holiday-makers literally hours to try to get an immediate flight home, or otherwise face a 14-day draconian quarantine period following their return to the UK or risk a £1,000 fine.
The quarantine restrictions are very extensive, and within 48 hours before arrival in the UK, people must submit an online passenger locator form, which includes details of their travel back to the UK, booking references and the address they will be staying for the first 14 days in the UK. This form means that the quarantine period cannot be avoided by travelling home via currently exempt countries, such as France.
Once through customs, people will then be required to travel straight to their quarantine address, only using public transport if there is no other option. Once home, the limits are extraordinary stringent, and persons must stay in the address for the full 14 days starting on the first complete day back in the UK, stay away from others, and have food, medicines and necessities delivered online or dropped off by friends and other family. No visitors, including friends and other family are permitted, unless they are providing essential care.
Unlike the height of lockdown in March and April, those in quarantine cannot even leave their house for exercise and must stay in their home or garden, dogs cannot be walked, and persons can only leave their address in very limited exceptional circumstances. Unless working from home is possible, it will be impossible for those in quarantine to attend work without breaking the law and risk a £1,000 fine.
Much has been made of the lack of guidance or warning put out by the Government over this issue. The only comments as regards those workers is as follows:
"The government is urging employers to be understanding of those returning from Spain who now will need to self-isolate."
Other than asking employers to be understanding, there is unfortunately little at the moment which protect workers who find themselves in this difficult position – particularly those with less than two years' service who have fewer rights and recourse against dismissal than those with more seniority.
The Foreign Secretary said that:
"If someone has followed the law in relation to quarantine and self-isolating in the way that they should, they can't have penalties taken against them…"
Sadly, there is little in statute or previous caselaw that supports this. Clearly, an employee with two or more years' service will be unfairly dismissed if their employment is terminated due to being forced into quarantine without prior warning. However, there is no obligation on employers to pay the wages of absent employees if they are not sick, meaning many will have no choice but to use up further annual leave to maintain an income. Also, those paid based on hours worked, such as zero hours and shift workers, will be particularly impacted during quarantine.
The Government will hopefully introduce fresh legislation to protect workers in this situation against dismissal, and provide them with a minimum income. Our analysis is that an employee with less than two years' service who is dismissed for absence purely due to commencing a quarantine period through no fault of their own will have no legal recourse other than payment of their notice pay.
Can those under quarantine claim statutory sick pay (SSP)?
At the moment, no. The Government has made clear that employees cannot claim SSP if they are self-isolating after entering or returning to the UK as part of quarantine and do not need to self-isolate for any other reason. However, certain employees can claim Universal Credit for this period. Given this current anomaly, we anticipate that many employees will report even the mildest of symptoms displayed by themselves or a member of their household so as to commence a period of self-isolation for medical reasons and access payments of SSP, and will inevitably encourage false reporting of illness, or breaches of their quarantine, to enable a continuation of some form of income.
Could they take it as holiday?
There is nothing specific to prevent some or all of the additional 14 days of quarantine being taken as annual leave, but this will be specific to each employer and depends on the amount of leave an employee has left and planned for the rest of the year. This will likely come at a time where someone will have already been on holiday for a few days, and many employer policies prevent holiday periods of 14 or more continuous days being taken without prior approval. On the basis that many holidaymakers will have taken 10 working days leave before returning to the UK, an employer will be required to authorise 20 consecutive days holiday to allow for a further 2-week quarantine which wipes out the most employees' annual holiday entitlement.
The key thing here will be communication and reasonableness. The best option is for holidaymakers currently facing the prospect of quarantine to discuss the matter with their employers to see what may be done, and in exceptional circumstances, employers may choose to permit extended periods of authorized, paid leave if working from home is not possible – but there is currently generally no legal obligation to do this.
Could those workers be furloughed?
There is the option of furlough leave, but will only be available to employees who had previously been furloughed for at least 3 weeks before 30 June 2020, and the Scheme is in place only until 31 October 2020. Their absence from work is a direct consequence of the coronavirus pandemic, and SSP is not otherwise available during quarantine, meaning furlough in these circumstances is arguably a legitimate use of the Scheme. However, employees have no right to insist on being furloughed. Besides, from 1 August, employers will incur costs in furloughing employees, namely employers' national insurance contributions for their furlough pay, and further 10% and 20% contributions to furlough pay commencing on 1 September and 1 October respectively.
So, there will inevitably be cases where employers would err on the side of caution and rather place employees on unpaid leave or require them to use up their remaining holiday during periods of quarantine, than replace them on furlough leave. Whilst furlough will be a vital line of financial support, it only provides partial financial solution to employees, as it is capped at 80% of normal pay, and subject to a maximum £2,500 per month. Higher earners will therefore be disproportionately impacted by being placed on furlough for two weeks.
Other solutions?
The ongoing uncertainty and chaos caused by the pandemic, and rising level of infections in Europe in currently exempt countries, means that quarantine will become an increasing issue during the summer holiday season and not just for visitors to Spain. No doubt some employees will cancel foreign trips due to the risk of being quarantined.
It may be prudent for employers to ascertain which of its employees are still planning to travel abroad in the coming months and agree contingency plans for their potential quarantine, including facilitating short-periods of working from home or projects which can be conducted at home if necessary. If working from home in any form is impossible, employers should consider communicating quarantine and self-isolation policies. These should set out how such absences will be managed, if any minimum level of pay will be maintained. and clear rules on taking additional holiday during these periods to supplement income.
The level of restrictions during quarantine on what, in most cases, will be asymptomatic employees, are as extensive and far reaching as those self-isolating for 7-14 days for showing symptoms personally or in their household. Yet, the UK Government has inexplicably failed to legislate any degree of support or protection for those in quarantine, which in turn makes breaches of quarantine more likely and undermines the policy.
It is therefore hoped that urgent legislation is passed to provide the same entitlement to SSP as to those self-isolating for medical reasons, and statutory protection from dismissal introduced for anyone restricted from working due to self-isolation regardless of their length of service, whether as a result of quarantine or displaying symptom themselves or within their household. Without this protection, such employees with less than two years' service are highly vulnerable to dismissal triggered by events wholly outside their control without any recourse. Many already struggling employers planning redundancies may find it too tempting to dismiss employees who cannot work when in quarantine.

Obama's call for a nuclear weapons free world: Mixed reactions and skepticism
Home » Obama's call for a nuclear weapons free world: Mixed reactions and skepticism
There has been mixed reactions to President Obama's call for a "world without nuclear weapons." Some analysts suggested that the call was similar to the then President Ronald Reagan's idealistic, unfulfilled dream of eliminating the threat of nuclear annihilation1. Others noted that the measure was intended to support strengthening the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which carries with it the promise of the eventual elimination of nuclear weapons2. Analysts also noted that nuclear weapons could not be un-invented and that the technology was over 60 years old and that the materials and skills needed were widely available3.
French officials meanwhile were quoted as stating that Paris had begun to reduce its nuclear arsenal long before President Obama issued his call for a "world without nuclear weapons." Reports noted that France had halted nuclear testing in 1996 even as the US Senate had held up Washington's approval of a comprehensive test ban treaty. President Sarkozy had pledged last year to cut back France's nuclear stockpile, even as he reiterated his government's commitment to retaining an independent deterrent based on four ballistic missile submarines and several dozen fighter-bombers4.

Q: only date and only time in same column - sql server I have a web portal  that should display only time if the date is today's date otherwise it should display date .
dossier_date_created       |   Expected result
----------------------------------------------------
2013-10-22 16:18:46.610    |     2013-10-22
2013-10-23 11:26:56.390    |     11:26

I tried something like this :
select
case
when CONVERT(date,dossier_date_created) = CONVERT(DATE,getdate()) then convert(char(5), dossier_date_created, 108)
else convert(date, dossier_date_created)
end as timedate
 from Proj_Manage_Dossier

But the result was :
     timedate
    -----------
    2013-10-22
    1900-01-01

How can I do it only with SQL? And btw Datatype of my column "dossier_date_created" is datetime

A: You can just use CAST or CONVERT to get your values to DATE or TIME datatypes. But, since you can't combine two data types in same column you have to cast them both to something identical - like NVARCHAR afterwards:
SELECT CASE WHEN CAST(dossier_date_created AS DATE) = CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)
            THEN CAST(CAST (dossier_date_created AS TIME) AS NVARCHAR(10))
    ELSE CAST(CAST(dossier_date_created AS DATE) AS NVARCHAR(10)) END
FROM dbo.Proj_Manage_Dossier

SQLFiddle DEMO
EDIT - For SQL Server versions older then 2008, where there are no DATE and TIME datatypes - You can also directly CONVERT to VARCHAR using appropriate style codes.
SELECT CASE WHEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),dossier_date_created,102) = CONVERT(VARCHAR(12),GETDATE(),102)
            THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),dossier_date_created,108)
    ELSE CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),dossier_date_created,102) END
FROM dbo.Proj_Manage_Dossier

SQLFiddle DEMO

A: This works fine for me:
    select
      case
      when (CONVERT(date,PaymentDate) = CONVERT(DATE,getdate()))
       then convert(VARCHAR(15), PaymentDate, 108)
      else convert(varchar, PaymentDate, 101)
      end as timedate
    from Payments

Hope it will help you.. :)

A: This will work
select case when cast(dossier_date_created as date) = cast(getdate() as date)
    then cast(cast(dossier_date_created as time) as varchar)
    else cast(cast(dossier_date_created as date) as varchar)
    end from #Proj_Manage_Dossier

Hope it helps :)
cheers......

Charles of Taranto (1296 – 29 August 1315) was the eldest son of Philip I, Prince of Taranto and titular Latin Emperor of Constantinople, and his wife, Thamar Angelina Komnene, daughter of the Despot of Epirus, Nikephoros I Komnenos Doukas.

Biography
Charles' father, Philip, was invested with the Principality of Achaea in southern Greece in 1307. However, there existed a rival claim to the principality in the person of Matilda of Hainaut, the wife of Guy II de la Roche, Duke of Athens. Guy was made Philip's bailli in Achaea, but he died in 1308 without children, leaving Matilda a widow. In 1309, the fifteen-year-old Matilda was betrothed to the twelve-year-old Charles, in an attempt to reconcile the competing claims to Achaea. The ceremony took place at Thebes on 2 April, in the presence of the Latin Archbishop of Athens, the Angevin bailli and the assembled nobility of Achaea and the Duchy of Athens.

The betrothal between Charles and Matilda was dissolved in 1313, and Matilda married Louis of Burgundy, as part of a complex marital pact wherein Matilda was ceded Achaea (although Philip retained suzerain rights over the principality, which he had held since 1294). As part of a series of marriages and pacts that year, Philip made a second marriage to Catherine of Valois, titular Latin Empress (who had been betrothed to Louis' brother, Hugh V of Burgundy), while Charles was betrothed to his new stepmother's sister, Joan of Valois in compensation for the breaking off of his previous engagement.

Like the first, this betrothal was never to be consummated. In 1315, Philip went north in command of Neapolitan troops to relieve the Florentine Guelphs, besieged at Montecatini by the Pisan Ghibellines under Uguccione della Faggiuola. Charles of Taranto and Philip's younger brother, Peter, Count of Gravina accompanied him. Despite initial successes, Philip fell ill with fever, and was crushingly defeated by Uguccione at the Battle of Montecatini. Charles was killed on the field, and his uncle lost; the ailing Philip escaped.

Charles's body was found near that of Uguccione's son, Francesco; their contemporaries assumed they had slain one another. Rainieri della Gherardesca had sworn not to be knighted until he had been revenged on the Angevins for the death of his father, who had been executed by Charles I of Naples with Conradin in 1268. He now accepted the accolade with a foot upon the corpse of Charles of Taranto. Bartholomew of Lucca helped arrange the retrieval of Charles' body from the Pisans after the battle. Remigio dei Girolami, a Dominican supporter of Charles' uncle, Robert, King of Naples, preached a sermon on Charles' death.

Picturesque Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
In this picture you can see Plants in the Sand near the Picturesque Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi in UAE. Picturesque Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the biggest in the United Arab Emirates and eighth biggest on the planet, rises gloriously from Abu Dhabi and serves as the focal spot of love for residents of the emirate. White marble was transported in from 28 unique nations to finish the mosque, and in addition crystal fixtures from Europe—the world's most profitable—and floor coverings from Iran. Regardless of the expense of development, the mosque offers free affirmation. Guests ought to wear baggy attire, including a long skirt or pants and since quite a while ago sleeved shirts. Ladies must wear a head scarf inside of the mosque, so please bring your own as they are not gave at the mosque. The city has a notoriety for being a cosmopolitan blend, and Abu Dhabi's eateries are no special case to this tenet. A wide assortment of decisions is accessible to suit all palates, extending from shabby and merry curry and Chinese takeout to five-star French eateries. One extraordinary thing about the eateries in Abu Dhabi is that burger joints need not go out to appreciate them; almost every foundation will convey, for the most part for nothing. Eating out in Abu Dhabi turns out to be more confounded amid the month of Ramadan. As Muslims are fasting amid sunshine hours, eateries are committed by law to close as of now. Fines are given to anybody eating or drinking anything (even water) openly. Some vast inns taking into account Westerners will keep one eatery open for non-Muslim clients then again, and it's a smart thought to check with your lodging on entry. Some top of the line eateries in Abu Dhabi include an administration charge of around 10 percent to the bill, while inn eateries might likewise include a tourism toll of 6 percent. These charges are in some cases incorporated into menu costs. Tips of 10 percent are standard for servers. Picturesque Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is very celebrated across the world among the tourist.

If you have a social media strategy for your business, and you think you're doing well considering the amount of page likes you have, it may be time to reevaluate your strategy. Social media is no longer focused on the number of likes a page has, but the amount of engagement a page has with its followers.
If you have an average of 20,000 Facebook page likes, but your average post only garners two to three likes, a couple comments and one share, you may not be doing as well as you think. Chances are your Facebook page fans have liked your page, and rarely check back in, because your content isn't pulling them in or engaging them. 20,000 Facebook fans doesn't mean anything if they aren't engaged with your brand.
The number of followers you have on a social media platform isn't the ultimate goal, although sometimes the social media marketing world will tell you that it is. The goal of your page is to get more sales to your business.
Some think that a presence on all social media platforms is necessary, and it is, with one exception. You cannot use the same social media strategy for different social media platforms. If you publish a blog post on your site, turning around and then posting it on your Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and other pages isn't an effective social media strategy.
This only works if you consider social media as a platform for the distribution of your site's content. But as we've already established, this doesn't work. You should be focusing on pulling in sale and engagement with your pages, not simply a like or two. There is no overarching strategy that works on all social platforms.
Using different strategies is important because different platforms pull in different demographics. For example, 71 percent of adult internet users use Facebook, while Instagram features a much younger age range. Posting the same content is a no-no, but you can post about the same topic in different ways. Market the ideas differently, and appropriately for the social media platform. You need to know who your customers are, and market to them on their respective platforms.
New features are constantly being added to platforms, as demographics are changing. Facebook was initially used as a way to connect on-campus college friends. Now it has more than 1.6 billion users, and is used for a wide variety of purposes.
Keep your customers in mind, market to them. Don't use the same strategy on different platforms. Use your platforms for sales, and not likes. Engagement numbers mean much more than a number of likes that a page has.

"How in the world?" is the response that I frequently hear when describing the unseen connection between photography and energy healing. I can understand why at face value there would be confusion about the relationship between such different subjects. In what way could a form of art support, relate, or mirror ancient healing methods? Well, as I explain my background in lightwork, the answer will become clear.
As far back as I can remember, I've been fascinated by photography and playing outdoors. The two hobbies weren't yet intertwined, but nonetheless, were very much weaved throughout my day-to-day life.
I have my late mother to thank for my interest in the camera, she always had a big, clunky thing strapped across her chest so she could record the divine little moments of her children's lives. It wasn't until grade school, when I participated in a black & white film class, that I deepened a relationship with my newfound love.
When it comes to nature's gift of crystals and stones, I think it's easy to imagine why a young child would find these luminous bits of earth enchanting. It matched my adventurous spirit; I was the girl that wasn't afraid to get dirty while playing sports with my younger brother. I would create different worlds in my mind as I explored the complex dimensions of the old Banyan tree in front of our home. In a way, I'm still that same girl, as I continue to collect stones, shells, and all the little treasures I can find as I travel around the globe.
The merging of these two passions became more apparent nearly a decade ago. I was living in New York City and beginning to study photography again, but much more seriously than ever before. It was a time of personal transformation for me. I had just left college and I gave up my dream to be a musician to instead pursue photography as my main focus (pun intended!).
During this time that I was intentionally documenting all that I saw around me, I knew that there was still more yet to discover. Something within me yearned to be expressed, explored, and understood. Would you believe that I found the answer to my prayers just because I was surfing the interwebs? I had somehow stumbled upon the website of a world-renowned crystal healing professor.
After discovering her crystal healing certification course, I decided to take her class. Within a year's time, I not only earned my certification in crystal healing, I also gained a deeper understanding of digital and film photography. My passion for energy healing also led me to embark on a lifelong journey into studying essential oils. It was all starting to come together!
As I grew into my professionalism with photography, I realized I wanted to offer something beyond the means of any regular portrait photographer. I knew I had a niche but wasn't sure how to connect my two great loves of life.
After reading a book called "Vibrational Medicine" by Richard Gerber, I came up with the concept of TheraPhoto. At the time, Kirlian photography really intrigued me. According to Wikipedia, "Kirlian photography is a collection of photographic techniques used to capture the phenomenon of electrical coronal discharges". I found this type of art so inspiring that I wanted to create my own unique offering.
My concept differs from Radiant Human by being a bit more personalized. TheraPhoto is a unique experience that combines an energy healing session with portraiture. I thought: What if I could first help a client center and align their energy and feel more vibrant? How would that translate into their portraits? These people would most likely appear luminous!
This concept of TheraPhoto bridges the gap between the two fields of Lightwork that I so deeply appreciate. There's the art of photography that directly correlates with capturing reflections of light. And there's energy healing, which is a type of therapy used to positively impact our body's innate healing mechanisms. Energy is light, and our aura can even be depicted as a technicolor display through Kirlian photography. To me, TheraPhoto was the perfect answer to connecting my occupations.
Presently, I still have both businesses up and running as Brooke Rosenblum Photography and May the Quartz Be with You. They are separate entities that express two sides of the same coin. It's all Lightwork. I no longer have to choose one path over the other because now, I see them as one in the same.
Many people need a skilled photographer from time to time, but many also need an experienced energy healer. I enjoy incorporating the skillset of my trained eye behind the lens to help support my growing energy healing business. I also utilize my experience with high vibrational tools to enrich my own life so I can show up fully present and totally vibrant to my photo sessions.

Man Poses as Beto O'Rourke Campaign Worker, Breaks Into Home and Eats a Popsicle
By Scott McDonald On 5/29/19 at 9:25 PM EDT
A man who claimed to be a campaign worker for Beto O'Rourke was arrested for allegedly breaking into a home in Austin, Texas where he was later found eating a Popsicle in the kitchen.
Austin police responded to a breaking and entering call, and they eventually arrested James Bradford Gibbon II, 28, and charged him with burglary of a residence, which is a second-degree felony.
According to CBS Austin, a man who lives in the 800 block of Barton Boulevard, in the Barton Springs area, saw a man wandering around the home of his neighbor. The neighbor asked the stranger wearing a Beto O'Rourke t-shirt what he was doing, and Gibbon replied, "campaigning for Beto for president."
Being neighborly and sensing the man would be soliciting at the home, the witness told Gibbon to beware of the dog at the home. Not long after, police say the witness saw what appeared to be Gibbon leaving the house from the front, and then entering the backyard.
When the homeowner arrived, she claims Gibbon was in her kitchen just eating a Popsicle. When she confronted Gibbon about it, he said it was a "misunderstanding" before he left the home, according to police. The homeowner's son called 911.
Austin police arrived and questioned Gibbon, who reportedly said he knew he was in the wrong and that he had entered the home through a side door.
Police said Gibbon confessed to them he had entered the home and sifted through a wallet, an iPad and briefcase before helping himself to the ice pop.
Court documents revealed that quite a few items were also taken from a backpack and arranged in a way that appeared to have been in the order they were removed.
Beto O'Rourke is a former Democratic U.S. Representative from El Paso who gained national attention during a tight senate race with incumbent Texas Republican Ted Cruz in 2018. He became wildly popular in Texas last midterm election, especially in the state's largest cities of Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, which are Democratic strongholds in an otherwise Republican state.
O'Rourke is now one of the many Democratic presidential candidates for the 2020 election. Former Vice President Joe Biden leads almost every major Democratic poll for 2020. O'Rourke is as high as No. 2 in some polls.

Like most kids in middle-class America, I was raised on Disney films. Some I always felt lukewarm about, and some that used to be favorites no longer appeal to me, even though I can appreciate the talent and artistry that went into making them. I never liked Sleeping Beauty and I was always ambivalent about Snow White and Cinderella. But others, like The Lion King and Mulan, have withstood the test of time to remain favorites. When I was a kid, The Little Mermaid was my favorite, hands down. But now, as an adult, a different film has risen to the top of the list: Beauty and the Beast.
While I enjoyed Beauty and the Beast as a kid, I don't recall it grabbing me the way it does now, probably because it is very focused on a burgeoning romance. As I've grown, I've come to identify more strongly with bookish Belle than with rebellious Ariel. And, unlike so many other Disney films, the prince and "princess" actually spend a great amount of time together before they marry and dance off into their happily ever after. It's a far more realistic development of a relationship than, say, Cinderella or Snow White who spend approximately ten minutes with their groom before marrying him. The "love at first sight" trope is one that I really dislike, even though I understand its narrative use in fairy tales.
Beauty and the Beast is one of the few stories that revolves around two people in extraordinary circumstances learning to live, and eventually fall in love, with one another. Call me a helpless romantic, but I really enjoy that kind of story; it has far more substance than the typical perfunctory, "And then the prince found the princess and married her and they lived happily ever after, the end." I do so love romantic redemption stories.
Apparently I'm not the only one fascinated by Beauty and the Beast; there are numerous iterations of it in both literature and film. Not only do you have the subtle variations that come with different translations, but there are more drastic modern interpretations that take the basic idea of a beauty taming a beast with love and then play with it.
So when I heard that there was going to be a live action version of the film being released in 2017, I was intrigued. Hopeful, even. What kind of depth would be imparted to the characters, as told to a modern audience? What new spin would be placed on a "tale as old as time"?
Unfortunately, what I ended up seeing was an inferior carbon copy of the original 1991 animated film.
I cannot express how much this disappoints me. Don't get me wrong; the movie isn't bad per se. I don't feel like I should demand my money back or that I wasted my time. It's competently done. The singing (for the most part) is good, the CGI passable, the sets rich and ornate (albeit over-Baroqued), the costumes were pretty, and the talking furniture were the most compelling characters on screen. There are some good moments between Belle and her father, both Gaston and LeFou were entertaining, and some of the plot holes from the animated film were explained (like how Gaston knew where the castle was, what happened to Belle's mother, and why no one seemed to know that a giant, impossible-to-miss castle was sitting within a day's ride of the village).
But there were so many things they could have done to enrich the characters, to deepen the story, to offer something new. The emotional depth of the animated version was mostly lost in the translation to live action, and what backstory there was felt pasted in as an afterthought rather than integrated into the film.
While I liked Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast, I didn't feel any chemistry between the two of them, which is crucial in a film where one of the romantic partners isn't even human! (The romance between the wardrobe and the harpsicord was more compelling and believable than between Belle and the Beast.) There are two key reasons for this: First, time. In the animated version, Belle spends at least a month (perhaps longer) at the castle before returning to her father. In the live action version, she's there about a week. That is not enough time for a romance to blossom. I know that fairy tales play fast and loose with realism, but for a film made with modern sensibilities, it was less realistic than the one from 1991. Second, stolen lines. So many lines that should have been said by a main character are said by furniture instead! In the live action version, the Beast never admits that he loves Belle; Cogsworth says it for him! That is a key moment for him, a turning point in his life and story arc, and it was taken from him. Why? What was the rationale behind this decision? Darned if I know.
Nearly all of their interactions feel like they are saying the lines because that's what the script says, not because the characters actually feel those emotions. The only exception was when the Beast introduced Belle to the library. That was the only scene between them that felt genuine. The film tried to make up for this lack by tacking on backstory that is either never explored in more detail or is woefully executed. Their little "bonding moment" in Belle's old home (which, by the way, would have been burned to the ground if the plague had visited) was completely inadequate. The Beast's backstory would have been interesting… if they'd actually done anything with it.
As a particularly painful example, the Beast should not have sung when Belle left. His single roar of anguish in the animated version was far more moving to me than the musical number we had to endure in the live action. Not because Dan Stevens sang poorly, but because it undercut the drama of the scene and the feel of the character. A short duet with Belle is about as much as the Beast should have sung, if singing had to happen at all. And it didn't need to.
The film couldn't seem to decide if it wanted to be a live action cartoon or a more realistic tale of love and drama. In the beginning of the film, especially with the opening song and Gaston's presentation, it feels like the former. Gaston feels especially flat and cartoonish, and not nearly as menacing as he turns out to be in the animated version. But then the interactions with Belle and her father or with Belle teaching the little girl to read feel so realistic and human that it's jarring. The movie flips like this throughout. It needed to be one or the other but tried to be both and, in my estimation, failed.
So why did all of this happen? How could such a classic story be butchered in such a fashion? I think that it probably came down to fear. Because the live action Cinderella and Jungle Book didn't do very well, Disney got scared and decided they would just remake the version of Beauty and the Beast everyone knows and loves, just with real people. Personally, even though the live action Cinderella isn't a great film, I found it more compelling than this version of Beauty and the Beast. I wish they'd decided to do something more like Ever After, which is clearly Cinderella, but with its own unique spin. At least then we would have had something new to watch. And this wouldn't have been beyond Disney's capabilities. In 1987, a live-action television show called Beauty and the Beast aired with its own unique take on the fairy tale, transporting it to then-modern New York. "Belle" is a district attorney named Catherine, played by Linda Hamilton. "The Beast" is a lion-like man named Vincent, played by Ron Perlman, who dwells in a shadowy realm of tunnels and sewers beneath New York. (Vincent's makeup and costume are simply stunning.) And while often cheesy, it still held more genuine emotion than its more modern CGI-saturated cousin.
BATB 1987 for the win! I was raised on all the old shows from the 70's and 80's so I'm used to the clothes and camp. Ron Perlman alone is worth it, such a great actor. I would also like to add to your list some TV and other movie related suggestions.
Disney's Gargoyles: Goliath and Elisa.
Howl's Moving Castle (the film): Howl and Sophie.
Great article! I can't say I'm not disappointed, but hey, you can't have everything!


I am a PhD student studying here in Northern Ireland, UK on a Tier 4 visa. I am an Indian national. I have to visit Italy to attend a conference. Can I apply for a Schengen visa through the Italian Consulate in Belfast?
The Italian Consulate in Belfast is an Honorary Consulate, with limited hours and limited services.
According to the site of the Italian Consulate in Edinburgh (which covers Northern Ireland), due to the need to collect biometric data (fingerprints), you can no longer apply for a visa through the Honorary Consulate in Belfast. You have to apply at the Consulate in Edinburgh.
The site describes the procedure (including link to the booking system), required documentation, etc.

An Indiana State Police Officer is gaining national praise after pulling over a driver who was going too slowly.According to a now-viral Twitter post from Indiana State Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Stephen Wheeles, the driver was headed down I-65 when he noticed a major backup had been created. "The driver had approximately 20 cars slowed behind her because she would not move back to the right lane," Wheeles wrote. "Again...if there are vehicles behind you, you must move to the right lane to allow them to pass."The image and accompanying message has been retweeted nearly 15,000 times, with many social media users applauding Wheeles for taking action against the slow driver.One user asked if the rule applies to those obeying the speed limit in the left lane, Wheeles was happy to explain. "The spirit of the law is that since many people drive well above the speed limit, it creates an 'accordion effect' as traffic starts backing up behind the slower vehicle. This is where many of our crashes occur on the interstates. It's all in the name of safety," he wrote.

Located in Toronto's downtown core, the MaRS Centre is a skillful mix of heritage and modern architecture that features lab facilities, offices, event venues and meeting places, incubator space, and retail services.
The College Wing, the original brick façade of the old Toronto General Hospital, anchors the MaRS Centre and its redevelopment is a singular example of adaptive reuse. Salient heritage features of the original building and its landscaped forecourt were preserved and enhanced, while the glazed linkages, advanced technology infrastructure, and transformed interior spaces provide contemporary office space and a dynamic interactive environment.
The South Tower, a new 11-storey structure, is located mid-block behind the College Wing and along the south edge of the interior galleria. Separated from the other buildings by exterior landscaped gardens, the new tower houses the majority of the incubator programs as well as shared facilities such as the auditorium, media centre, video conference/seminar rooms, landscaped gardens, food services, and below-grade retail and amenity areas.


It is a rare day when I do not have a quilt on the racks on a Saturday, but this last Saturday I did. Lili made a quilt using one layer cake during the summer for a surprise birthday gift for her brother, but we haven't gotten to the quilting until now. So, it's going to be a Christmas present now. Anyway, she was so excited to know that she was going to be quilting. So, I walked her through the whole process. She put the quilt on the racks, pins and all. I just watched and helped when she needed it.
I lowered my table as low as I could and it was still a little reach for her.
I love her cute little determined face.
It took her about 4 hours to quilt the whole quilt, by the end of her time quilting she told me her arms were sore. Now she understands what I do - I love it!
One quilt pieced and quilted by my 8 year old. This is her first big quilt.
The best part of the day was spending time with her. I am so happy that she has taken an interest in quilting and I am happy to share what I know with her. I am going to make an effort to give her a little time on my machine every now and again so that she can develop her own talents.
Loops and more loops, she did a beautiful job for her first time quilting.
What a great time together and she did very well for her first time. I don't think my first time looked that good!
She did an amazing job....what fun to have time to share with her....she starts now she will be a master by the time she is in her teens.
This may just be my all time post you ever blog! Wow!!!! Makes emotional with joy and homesickness for you and family and that tiny wish that God would have gifted me a girl.....beautiful, friend!
Those are really nice loops, too! She's got a great eye for spacing, and her arcs are a lot smoother than my first ones were! Way to go, Lili!!
That's awesome. I have a 9 year old who quilted a quilt for her 3rd grade teacher at the end of the school year. She finished and then announced WOW that is really hard work and now I think I'm cross eyed. Thanks for sharing your daughter's work.
Good job sweetie! What a lucky brother!
I recently bought a mid arm machine and racks and my 8 year old is itching to get her hands on it.

Su trabajo es impecable. Ella es adorable!
Your daughter did a great job, that's wonderful! I hope to get my granddaughters quilting when they're old enough, we definitely need to keep quilting alive in the future generations.


A majority of the British public support a move to a fairer, cleaner, more efficient energy system, according to results from a recent C3W study.. The research was lead by Nick Pidgeon, C3W's head of the Human Dimensions of Climate Change cluster, and involved 2,441 participants from across England, Scotland and Wales.
Transforming the UK energy system – public values, attitudes and acceptability was funded by the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) with the research carried out by a team from the University' of Cardiff's School of Psychology, Welsh School of Architecture and School of Engineering.
fit with a long-term, sustainable trajectory, rather than being just a short-term fix.
"Our research has shown clearly that people are more likely to accept changes that show signs of commitment to their underlying values, such as energy system components that are clean, efficient, fair and safe.
"The public is also keen for policy makers to clarify how current changes to the energy system fit with longer-term plans, and to develop an intelligible and coherent strategy for this," Professor Pidgeon added.

Philippines: Duterte Faces Potential Impeachment Over Fishing Controversy In South China Sea
June 27, 2019 June 27, 2019 BenarNews 0 Comments
By BenarNews
By Basilio Sepe
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte could be impeached for appearing to give Chinese fishing boats a green light to enter South China Sea waters that are internationally recognized as lying within Manila's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), analysts and officials said Wednesday.
Duterte, an ally of China's president, suggested earlier this week that due to a need to preserve friendly relations with Beijing, it would be hard for him to stop the Chinese from fishing in the 200-mile zone, which is reserved solely for Filipinos under the Philippine constitution.
"I don't think that China would do that [stop fishing in the EEZ]. Why? Because we're friends," Duterte said Monday in response to a journalist's question, local news reports said.
The Philippine leader made the remark amid a national uproar over the sinking of a Filipino fishing boat by a larger Chinese vessel on June 9 off Recto Reef, which is well within Manila's territory as spelled out by international law.
Analysts have interpreted Duterte's comment as an admission that he would not stand up to Beijing, which has been the Philippines' main economic benefactor since the president took office three years ago. Duterte's pronouncement, however, could land him into deep legal trouble, according to at least one observer.
"It would be a ground for impeachment. It would be a violation of the constitution and a betrayal of the public's trust. But of course, it's a game of numbers," said Ramon Beleno III, who heads the political science and history department at Ateneo De Davao University.
"Such statements do not help. It's like giving the Chinese confidence. We can't control our seas but it's different when you allow them for the sake of friendship," he added.
The Philippine Constitution clearly states that the government shall protect the country's marine wealth in its waters, territorial sea and exclusive economic zone, as well as reserve its use for Filipinos.
Beijing claims most of the mineral-rich South China Sea. Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan also have overlapping claims to the maritime region.
The Philippine chief executive could be impeached should government agencies implement Duterte's pronouncement, a maritime law expert said.
"If you allow Chinese fishers there, that's dereliction of duty. The duty of the chief executive is to implement and enforce the law," said Jay Batongbacal, director of the Institute for Maritime Affairs and Law of the Sea at the University of the Philippines.
"[H]e can face an impeachment complaint," Batongbacal added.
And in the opinion of Philippine Supreme Court Judge Antonio Carpio, allowing Chinese fishermen to ply their trade inside the Philippines' waters is patently illegal.
"The Philippines has exclusive sovereign right to exploit all the fish, oil, gas and other mineral resources in its Exclusive Economic Zone. This sovereign right belongs to the Filipino people, and no government official can waive this sovereign right of the Filipino people without their consent," Carpio said.
Under the Constitution, Carpio pointed out that "national territory" includes "other submarine areas" over which the Philippines has "sovereignty or jurisdiction."
On Wednesday, presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo countered that under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, a government has the right to grant permission to other countries.
"We get benefits from them. The President's point may be for us to give back a little to them," Panelo said, adding that the country should trust Duterte because "all his moves are based on the provisions of the constitution to protect and serve Filipinos."
"He's balancing the interests of the state as well as against potential dangerous consequence that can happen if we commit a mistake," he added.
Duterte played down the sinking of the Filipino fishing boat as an ordinary "maritime incident," as he moved to deescalate tensions with China. The sinking of the boat, in which the Chinese ship sailed off after allegedly ramming into the anchored Philippine boat, left 22 Filipino fishermen stranded at sea until a Vietnamese vessel picked them up and ferried them to safety.
"Well, I'm sorry, but that's how it is. So I am sorry if that is how they feel. But they know that that area is claimed by both. For China, it happened within their jurisdiction. For us (it happened) within our jurisdiction. We have two conflicting claims of ownership," Duterte said when asked about his message to the fishermen. His comments were contained in official transcripts released by the presidential palace.
NGO urges stricter monitoring of fisheries
Meanwhile, an international NGO working on ocean conservation called on the Philippine government to implement stricter controls in monitoring its fishing grounds.
Gloria Estenzo Ramos, Vice President of Oceana, said Wednesday that declining fish stocks were already at "crisis proportions" and the government needed to protect the livelihood of small fisher folk.
"It is truly sad that plunder in our ocean continues due to greed of commercial fishing operators, whether Filipino, Chinese or otherwise," she said, noting that the June 9 incident between the Chinese and Filipino fishing boats cast a spotlight on the urgent need to equip vessels with tracking mechanisms.

Malaviya's Last Trump Card
Malaviyaji is almost finishing his Madras tour. The down-trodden people who are awakened to a sense of Self-respect have their hopes in him shattered.Yet Malaviyaji has got a strong faith in his orthodoxy and its efficacy in hypnotizing the people to his creed. The Varnashramites of Madras are very much pleased with the achievements of the Pandit even though they put up a show of opposition to his seeming heterodoxy. They know that their game of disapproval of the Pandit's activities will give him some new adherents, Neo Hindus, who shall in reality be recruits to the Varnashramite creed.
Malaviyaji's mission of anti-untouchability while keeping intact the caste system is no new slogan. Bhai Paramanand and the other North Indian leaders who form the extreme wing of the Hindu Sabha and who have organized the "Jat Pat Todak Mandal", the society for breaking castes and creeds, know the real value of the Pandit's slogan. It is an apology for his ultra-orthodoxy in his advanced province.
In the south, the slogan of the Aryavarta cannot hold water. We know that the caste system itself is graded untouchability. Unapproachability and unseeability are parts of Dharma that find advocacy in revealed texts, in the liberal Shastras and Puranas of the Pandit. The majority of the population is groaning under the dead weight of religious tyranny and hypocrisy. Whenever the people come to a realization of their degradation, the scourge of the Brahmin is upon them.
The Self-respect movement has enlightened the masses. The Brahmin high priests with Hindu religion and ethics can no longer enslave the souls of the masses. The core of our society at the apex of which was the Brahmin and at the base the Pariah, is sure to turn upside down and the lotus-eaters at the apex are sure to crumble.
They are therefore doing all that lie in their power to avert such a calamity. Malaviyaji has not lost hopes in the powers of the Brahmin- spell of religion, even though his Varnashramite comrades at Madras are despondent. He goes about starting Hindu Mahasabhas wherever he sojourns; but their fate is already sealed. Pandit's activity in this direction is the last straw on the camel's back.
There is yet another aspect of religio-nationalism of Malaviyaji which is pregnant with grave danger, but which we are likely to ignore. It is his advocacy of Hindi as lingua franca in the place of Sanskrit, which he says can no longer be the common language.
The prime cause that led to the destruction of a strong rational society and threw us into compartments of warring castes and creeds is clear as daylight to us. It was due to the hypnotization of Sanscritic culture. When the south is making efforts to shake the dust of a Sanscritic culture off its feet, the demon is taking a new avatar and is threatening us with destruction, in the shape of Hindi. A brief survey of the Hindi movement as propagated by the Hindi Prachar Sabha will speak for itself.
The problem of a national language versus common language was already discussed in these columns and a strong case was put up against a national language. Even granting the necessity for a national language let us see whether we can tolerate the movement, as it is.
The father of the Hindi movement, Mr. Gandhi says that Hindi, in its national aspect includes its Urdu form. According to him, a synthesis of Sanscritised Hindi and Persianised Urdu would alone constitute the national language. As for the script to be employed in writing such a language he does not give a clear lead.
Now let us see as to what sort of a language that the Hindu Prachar Sabha is propagating and that which finds favour with Malaviyaji Why does the Sabha advocate Sanscritised Hindi distinctly apart from Urdu? Why the Sabha not only not in favour of this is national form of Hindi, but is absolutely anti-national? The reasons are obvious. The Sabha must find for their Hindi, recognition in the South Indian Universities that have already given a place for Urdu.We don't mind if they happen to be pro or anti-national but we cannot put up with their pro-Hindi activities.
Let us take for instance the question of script. We once before drew the attention of the readers to the chaotic and unscientific nature of the Devanagari script, employed in writing Hindi. It is a colossal waste of time and energy to try to acquire a knowledge of about 566 characters it contains, consisting of vowels, consonants and their combinations. There are again five types of conjunct consonants which swell the above number with about 60 more. Such is the tyranny of this script. Even with a fair knowledge of this script, you cannot master the pronunciation of Hindi written in this script. This irregularity is of course due to the inevitable difficulty of adapting a script not suited to the genius of the language.
This is an age of enlightenment when thinking men are not favourably disposed even towards the Roman script in spite of its many advantages. It is a simple one consisting of only 26 characters. Most of the languages of the west are written in this script. A knowledge of the script will pave the way for the valuable acquisitions of art and science. Further it has the unique advantage of being printed and typewritten easily. Yet the world is for inventing a universal script, simple, easy and absolutely scientific. The Devanagari script with all its multiplicity, chaos and primitive barbarism is simply intolerable. Why should the Sabha then persist in its propagation of this script? Let the readers draw their own conclusions!
Nationalism in Hindi is therefore a camouflage. It is a movement which ultimately aims at a cultural conquest of the south. The pronouncements of Mr. Gandhi and the activities of the Hindi Prachar Sabha, will sufficiently speak for themselves in favour of our conclusions.
Among the activities of the Sabha, the celebration of Tulsi Jayanti i.e. the Birthday celebration of Tulsidas, the author of the Hindi Ramayana throughout the presidency is the most important. Examinations in Tulsi Ramayana are also held every year. In a province where there is no Muslim-Hindu antagonism and where the majority of the Mussalmans won't grudge the acquisition of the knowledge of either Hindustani or Urdu, we cannot easily swallow this piece of Ramayana propaganda that may not find favour with the Mussalmans, in the name of nationalism.
Mr. Gandhi opines that a majority of the Hindu population will have to go without a knowledge of Sanscrit, the language of religion. So they must have religion interpreted through Hindi. A Hindi propagandist must also be an evangelist of Hinduism. The Ramayana of Tulsidas is the only book in Hindi that can interpret Hinduism to the masses. It is "a mine of Dharmas, a Symposium of morals." It is this book that inspired and still inspires Mr. Gandhi. He owes his Mahatmaship to two books in this world, the one being Tulsi Ramayana and the other being Gita in Sanscrit.
For the information of the readers we give below some samples of Tulsidas morality and Dharma. The story of Bharata and his followers going to meet Rama in the forest is of course well known. Bharata, on his way to the forest was obliged to spend a night in the Ashram of the rishi known as Bharadwaj. Tulsidas, the moralist poet sings of the glory of the Rishi and his hospitality. The poet in his exuberant imagination would have his sage Bharadwaj to surround Bharata and his followers with all luxuries, with damsels of exquisite beauty, ready to pander to their lust. Morality is worthy of the sages indeed!
This is a bit of Tulsi morality. Now we shall have a dose of his Dharma. This radical philosopher has got drastic views on Dharma. He has got an informidable faith in the rod, in religious matters. Persuasion has no place in his philosophy. In one of his "choupayies', he runs amock and cries out, "Drums, beasts, Shudras, women, all these are entitled to be treated with the rod". Tulsidas ki Jai!
Can a self-respecting nation tolerate such religion and morals interpreted through Hindi?

Updated at 12:22 p.m. Saturday: Xavier Foster's dad, DaJuan Foster, told the Register they will not be visiting Iowa State for its game versus Texas Tech. They're going on a family vacation this weekend.
In-state five-star 2020 power forward Xavier Foster, Kansas five-star 2020 power forward N'Faly Dante and in-state 2021 power forward Ryan Riggs are all expected as unofficial visitors for the Cyclones' regular-season finale Saturday, a source with direct knowledge of Iowa State's recruitment told the Register.
Cyclones signee Luke Anderson will also be at the game. He and his father, Eddie Anderson, have been in town for the weekend and were on hand at Wells Fargo Arena as Foster and Oskaloosa played Norwalk in the Class 3A state title game Friday night.
Foster has long been a major recruiting target for the Cyclones. He holds other offers from Iowa, USC, UCLA and Kansas, among many others.
Dante is widely considered a top-20 recruit in the class. He holds additional offers from Kansas, Kentucky and LSU, among others.
Riggs is one of Iowa's most promising 2021 prospects. He previously visited Iowa State in February for its game against TCU.


THE #1 DISEASE IN CATS AND DOGS OVER 3 YEARS OLD!
Good dental care is as important for your pet as it is for you. Good dental care not only prevents bad breath & oral disease, but also stops infection from spreading through the blood stream to your pet's liver, kidneys and heart which could affect the overall health. We begin dental check-ups at the Wellness Exam.
If dental cleaning is necessary for the health of your pet, at the FAN VET, we do supragingival and sub gingival cleaning, periodontal probing, using both ultrasonic and hand scaling to remove tartar and plaque followed by polishing and Ora-Vet treatment. At the time of the cleaning, we do a complete oral evaluation, and if needed digital dental x-rays to detect any underlying problems. If problems are detected, we provide the treatment including tooth extraction and oral surgery. For the comfort of your pet, all dentistry is done under general anesthesia.
We follow a proactive protocol to assess our patients with pre-anesthetic blood testing and monitor their care throughout the dental procedure with ECG, blood pressure, Pulse Ox., respiration and body temp.
It is important to remember that even with the most diligent attention by you and the most cooperative pet, the progression of dental disease cannot completely be prevented. For some pets, eventually cleaning under anesthesia may be needed. This is similar to the fact that, despite brushing and flossing daily, many people visit the dentist every six months and problems are found. Dental cleanings and advanced care will add years to your pet's life.
How Old Is Too Old For A Dental Cleaning?
Although any procedure under anesthesia is not taken lightly, dental cleaning can routinely be done safely in a very old geriatric pet if the blood work shows no significant underlying health problems and there are no underlying heart problems. For many geriatric pets, dental care and cleaning make a big difference in over-all health.
What can I do to slow down the process of dental disease?
As pet owners, we can slow down the process of dental disease. Yes, brushing is effective for pets too, but it is often difficult for both pets and owners. Realizing brushing doesn't always happen; we recommend 3 products to help slow dental disease.
Hill's® Prescription Diet is a great defensive measure to augment or take the place of brushing in dogs and cats. Hill's® works like a toothbrush to clean teeth and freshen breath as pets chew. Its patented fiber matrix scrubs the exposed tooth surface like an edible toothbrush, reducing bacteria-laden plaque.Hill's® gently scrubs away plaque and tartar to clean teeth and promote healthy gums. All Hill's products for oral care, including Hill's® have earned the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) Seal of Acceptance which indicates proven efficacy in controlling plaque and tartar.
HEXtra® Premium Chews is a daily great tasting treat. HEXtra® Premium Chews with the patented, exclusive Chlorhexidine System help remove plaque and reduce tartar. The Chlorhexidine System, combined with the natural abrasive cleansing action of HEXtra® Premium Chews, helps to keep breath fresh and teeth clean. Chlorhexidene chews release antibacterial chlorhexidene to kill bacterial plaque like a mouthwash.
OraVet® a plaque prevention gel applied to the teeth once a week maintains an invisible barrier created by a thin sealant which prevents plaque from adhering to teeth.
Cats have a unique dental disease called feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORL). This is an inflammatory disease process whereby the tooth is actually resorbed, often at or below the gum line, and eventually breaks. FORL's are painful and sometimes signs are noted including drooling, bleeding, and difficulty chewing. Although they are in pain, many cats do not exhibit these clinical symptoms and the lesions are found on routine examination. During the Wellness Exam, an oral examination of your cat's mouth sometimes reveals a cherry-red inflammation of the gums surrounding the affected tooth. FORL's can also be demonstrated by gently rubbing the suspected lesion with a cotton swab. If the lesion is present, pain and jaw spasms occur when the area is touched.

Day 2: Danny: There were really big red ants at the restaurant we ate at for breakfast. This is how big they were (see photo). They were carrying leaves at least twice as big as they were. The ants looked like big spiders but only had six legs. For brunch, we had Empanadas. They were pastries stuffed with turkey ham, peppers, cheese, and tomatoes. I'm not sure if I liked them, but everyone else did!
