Emilia Clarke Talks Going Bare in Games Of Thrones: How She Found Courage
May 29, 2016 October 1, 2018
Leave a Comment on Emilia Clarke Talks Going Bare in Games Of Thrones: How She Found Courage
Emilia Clarke said alcohol helped her through her nude scene on season 6 of 'Game of Thrones.'
Emilia Clarke said alcohol gave her the courage she needed to go bare in a scene on season 6 of "Game of Thrones," when Daenerys emerges unscathed from a burning hut (see video).
Emilia, who had originally signed a no-bare clause, has since done lots of nude scenes on Game of Thrones, but felt empowered by her latest one.
"All I needed was vodka and some flattering lighting and I was ready," Clarke told the Sun. "It was just a wonderful, strong moment I wanted to own, a real empowering, girl-power wow scene."
While Clarke gets self-conscious about being naked on film (as any actor does), she thought being bare was appropriate in this particular scene, where Daenerys destroys her enemies.
"I was so thrilled with it," said Emilia. "It's not a sexy scene. She's not naked for no reason. It's not gratuitous. She's naked because she just destroyed her enemies in this almighty blaze after they underestimated her."
Clarke recently declared there should be as much male bareness on GOT as there is female nakedness.
"I feel like there's a little bit of inequality between the amount of bareness that happens with women – this woman in particular – and what happens with the guys," Emilia laughed. "I just think that it should be even. Free the penis!"

"Game of Thrones" has been slammed by TV critics and women's groups for its gratuitous nude and sex scenes, which some complain is done purely for titillation and ratings.
Emilia Clarke stopped Googling herself after being ruthlessly fat-shamed after her numerous buff scenes in "Game of Thrones," as Celebrity Health Fitness has reported.
"I remember when everything first kicked off, I Googled myself," said Clarke. "But never again. It just takes that one person who says: 'She's a fat b*tch,' and you're like: "I'm a fat b*tch!"
'Game of Thrones' is a fantasy TV series based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling book series, 'Song Of Ice and Fire.'
"Game of Thrones" is based on the bestselling book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, who's a producer, creative consultant and scriptwriter on the hit HBO television show.
Season 6 of "Game of Thrones" airs Sundays on HBO.

C'wealth chooses its balance sheet over compensation for abuse survivo
The Department of Home Affairs has pushed to exclude non-citizens from any eligibility for redress for institutional child abuse as it says its 'financial exposure to liability under the Redress Scheme is likely to increase significantly', the Australian Lawyers Alliance said today.
A Senate Committee has today published its final report on the proposed redress scheme for survivors of institutional child abuse, noting that excluding people convicted of crimes might give rise to the 'unintended perception that institutions are not being held to account for the sexual abuse of certain children in their care'.
However, ALA spokesperson Dr Andrew Morrison RFD SC said no such statement was made in relation to the other group excluded, non-citizens and non-permanent residents.
"The Department has revealed the true reason why particular groups are being excluded from redress," Dr Morrison said.
"It has nothing to do with the risk of fraud, which was the reason put forward when the bill was introduced. While the government appears to be saying all the right things about wanting to ensure justice for survivors of institutional child abuse, in fact it is only concerned about justice that it won't have to pay for."
On page 37 of the report, the Department says in paragraph 2.127:
If the Rules were to expand the eligibility for redress under the Redress Scheme beyond Australian citizens and permanent residents to all temporary visa holders or certain temporary visa holders, the Department's financial exposure to liability under the Redress Scheme is likely to increase significantly. This is because the institutional settings for which the Department is likely to be responsible will generally involve unlawful non-citizens, who may or may not have become permanent residents or Australian citizens by the time they make their applications. Extending the Redress Scheme to such people would possibly mean the Department (on behalf of the Commonwealth) would be exposed to making a larger number of redress payments under the Redress Scheme.
"It is incredible that the government thinks that it is appropriate to design a scheme that will protect its own finances, while other institutions are figuring out how they will meet the expected millions of dollars they will be liable for under the scheme. No child in immigration detention has committed any crime, and suggestions by the Department that they are 'unlawful' is wrong in law" Dr Morrison said.
"Imagine the outrage if any church made a similar statement, that it didn't think that children abused in its institutions should be eligible for redress under the proposed scheme, because it would cost too much."
"If the redress scheme design starts to factor in the need to minimise costs to liable institutions, it becomes about protecting those institutions again, rather than providing justice for child abuse that those institutions facilitated. This is effectively entrenching the injustice that the Royal Commission spent so long examining," Dr Morrison said.
"Every child who has been abused in an institutional context must be eligible for redress. Why should children abused in immigration detention be denied redress that children abused in schools, churches and other institutions so clearly deserve?"
The Royal Commission identified immigration detention, both onshore and offshore, as places where children are at heightened risk of being sexually abused. Compounding this risk are the challenges children held in offshore detention centres in particular face in reporting abuse they have suffered, which are often greater than for children abused in Australia. In recommending the establishment of the redress scheme, the Royal Commission expressly noted that 'citizenship, residency or other requirements' should not be a barrier to eligibility.
"In light of the Department's comments, s16(1)(c) of the bill must be removed, so non-citizens can apply for redress under the scheme," Dr Morrison said.
ALA submissions to the inquiry are available here and here.

Nigel Clough's Blades kicked off 2015 with yet another memorable FA Cup victory.
This time it was Harry Redknapp's Queens Park Rangers who felt the force of the Blades.
Marc McNulty gave the Blades a deserved lead and Jamal Campbell-Ryce scored twice in the second half to continue the growing reputation as cup specialists.
Clough made five changes in total, many of which were enforced, allowing Kennedy, Reed, Flynn, Baxter and McNulty to all start, and the Blades more than matched the Premiership side in the opening 30 minutes, creating as many, if not more opportunities.
Referee Clattenburg was unmoved as Hoilett tipped over in the box early on and the first Blades chance saw Baxter pick out McNulty, who slipped at the vital moment. Howard turned over a shot from Fer on the turn following a corner and then the Blades goalkeeper also was ideally placed to save from Mutch after he robbed Scougall.
A couple of Campbell-Ryce crosses put QPR under pressure, including one on 24 minutes from a Harris tackle and pass but McNulty was crowded out at the near post.
From a Phillips free-kick, a Traore shot was blocked before United clearly got on top. Baxter cut inside and shot at McCarthy and McNulty took the attentions of around four home defenders before, moments later, the Scot gave the Blades the lead.
United's midfield runners were causing QPR problems and it was a main reason for the opening goal on 36 minutes. Predominately it was Scougall but on this occasion it was Reed, whose pass beat Ferdinand and it was ideal for McNULTY to slide the ball through McCarthy and into the net.
For the remainder of the half United coolly kept the Premiership side at bay and the only other chance of note was from the Blades but Scougall could not get enough connection on a Campbell-Ryce cross.
At the start of the second half QPR introduced Zamora and the first opportunity after the interval resulted in another goal...for the Blades. An unnecessary corner saw Reed deliver, McCarthy flap, the ball hit Mutch, possibly on the hand, but CAMPBELL-RYCE did not wait for the referee and slotted home from close range - right in front of the travelling contingent.
Predictably, QPR hit back with a number of chances. Zamora's flicked header was wide, Fer's free-kick was blocked and Austin's shot was comfortable for Howard, who made a tremendous reaction save with his foot from Onuoha's header.
On the hour QPR used up their substitutes and changed formation. They continued to dominate but the Blades continued to repel. Howard pushed out from Vargas, Isla's effort was blocked and Phillips, once a Blades loanee, fired over on 73 minutes.
McNulty and Reed picked up tactical yellow cards and United's first change arrived on 82 minutes when Murphy took over from the tiring McNulty. Late on Phillips was again off target and Baxter tried his luck before being replaced by Wallace.
In four minutes of added time, Higdon replaced Doyle but United comfortably saw out the remaining minutes to secure another top-flight scalp and a fourth round place...until 15 seconds remaining when CAMPBELL-RYCE capitalised on a defensive error and picked his moment before slotting home.
QPR: McCarthy, Traore, Caulker (Isla 60), Ferdinand, Phillips, Austin, Fer, Onuoha, Mutch, Henry (Vargas 60), Hoilett (Zamora 45).
Unused: Murphy, Hill, Furlong, Grego-Cox.
Blades: Howard, Harris, Flynn, Doyle (Higdon 90), Scougall, Baxter (Wallace 90), McNulty (Murphy 82), McEveley, Campbell-Ryce, Reed, Kennedy.
Unused: Alcock, McGahey, Turner, Dimaio.


"The Supreme Court has again affirmed that Americans are free to pray," said David Cortman, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), after the Court, in a 5-4 ruling, determined that it is constitutional for Christian prayers to be offered at the beginning of legislative meetings.
Summit Ministries has joined 23 other Christian ministries in filing an amicus brief before the Supreme Court, opposing the contraception mandate under the health-care-reform law. On March 25, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., a case that will set an important precedent regarding the exercise of religious freedom in our country. An opinion is expected to be rendered by the end of June.
Why Should Christians Be Troubled by the Resignation of Mozilla CEO, Brendan Eich?
Brendan Eich, just two weeks after being named CEO of the Mozilla Corporation, was forced to resign because – in 2008 – he donated $1,000 to a campaign urging California voters to support Proposition 8. While the executives at Mozilla – like the executives at Hobby Lobby – should have every right to follow their consciences and abide by their respective mission statements, Mozilla is obviously acting contrary to their stated values of openness, inclusion, and diversity by punishing someone for expressing views that have nothing to do with web design.

In Sweezy v. New Hampshire (1957), the Supreme Court said that "Teachers and students must always remain free to inquire … otherwise, our civilization will stagnate and die." But, as the following two examples will show, academic freedom in our country is being restricted considerably, and the pursuit of truth is being hampered as a result.
Should the Government Force Individuals to Celebrate Gay Weddings?
It is imperative that we defend the conscience rights of individuals who feel they are acting immorally by sanctioning a lifestyle they believe is not only contrary to scripture but also harmful to a well-ordered society. Still, we should find ways in which we can, in good conscience, reach out to those with whom we disagree, in order to love them, serve them, and guide them toward the truth revealed by God in Scripture.

What's at Stake in the HHS Mandate?
It's clear that the federal government, in enforcing what has become known as the HHS contraception mandate, is propping up a secularist worldview at the expense of religious freedom. In effect, it's doing this by coercive strong-arming and — in a move right out of the postmodernist's playbook — engaging in disingenuous arguments to make its case seem more reasonable.
Read More →What's at Stake in the HHS Mandate?
As governmental and social restrictions on religion increase, violent religious persecution and conflict result. That's the stunning conclusion of a study of religious freedom conducted by Brian J. Grim and Roger Finke and published by Cambridge University Press.
If Grim and Finke are correct, the Obama administration's indifferent and sometimes hostile attitude toward religious freedom could be setting America on a catastrophic course.
Religious liberty has historically been considered America's first freedom because of its prominence in the minds of America's founders and its enshrinement in the first amendment to the Constitution. But there is another reason religious liberty should be put in first place: historically, when a society begins restricting religious freedom, coercive restrictions on other liberties follow. When we fail to speak out against seemingly small incursions against religious liberty we cede ground, little by little, to those who would like to see religious liberty curtailed.
Paul's missionary journeys occupied decades of his life. His martyrdom was preceded by serious, painful persecution. Yet his steadfast refrain to Christians was to keep fighting, keep living, keep working, and keep obeying. Likewise, we are called to persist in a fallen world without regard for our self-preservation or comfort.

Karolewo () ist ein Ort in der polnischen Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren. Er gehört zur Gmina Sępopol (Stadt- und Landgemeinde Schippenbeil) im Powiat Bartoszycki (Kreis Bartenstein).

Geographische Lage
Karolewo liegt unmittelbar an der östlichen Stadtgrenze von Sępopol () in der nördlichen Mitte der Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren, 15 Kilometer östlich der Kreisstadt Bartoszyce (Bartenstein).

Geschichte
Der vor 1912 auch Carlsfelde genannte kleine Ort war ein Vorwerk und bis 1945 Wohnplatz der Gemeinde (teilweise: Gutsbezirk) Romsdorf (polnisch Romankowo) im ostpreußischen Kreis Friedland (ab 1927: Kreis Bartenstein). Im Jahre 1905 zählte Karlsfelde 33 Einwohner.

Als 1945 in Kriegsfolge das gesamte südliche Ostpreußen an Polen fiel, bekam Karlsfelde die polnische Namensform "Karolewo". Der Ort ist heute Teil der Stadt- und Landgemeinde Sępopol (Schippenbeil) im Powiat Bartoszycki (Kreis Bartentein), von 1975 bis 1998 der Woiwodschaft Olsztyn, seither der Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren zugeordnet.

Kirche
Bis 1945 war Karsfelde in die evangelische Kirche Schippenbeil (polnisch Sępopol) in der Kirchenprovinz Ostpreußen der Kirche der Altpreußischen Union, außerdem in die römisch-katholische Kirche St. Bruno Bartenstein (polnisch Bartoszyce) im Bistum Ermland eingepfarrt.

Heute gehört Karolewo zur katholischen Pfarrei Sępopol im jetzigen Erzbistum Ermland, außerdem zur evangelisch-augsburgischen Kirche Bartoszyce, einer Filialkirche von Kętrzyn (Rastenburg) in der Diözese Masuren.

Verkehr
Über die ulica Mickiewicza gelangt man direkt von Sępopol nach Karolewo. Eine Bahnanbindung besteht nicht. Bis 1944 und auch später war Schippenbeil resp. Sępopol die nächste Bahnstation. Sie lag an der Kleinbahn Wöterkeim–Schippenbeil (Linie 258 der PKP), die zunächst kriegsbedingt eingestellt, dann aber zwischen 1950 und 1953 sowie von 1975 bis 1990 wiederbelebt, danach jedoch geschlossen und die Anlagen bereits demontiert wurden.

When talking about making performance improvements to an application, the first thing that comes to mind is caching.
The next thought that usually follows is, 'What is the easiest and quickest way to implement it?'.
When building software, inevitably there comes the stage where the development team will start talking about performance improvements. And that's when fingers get pointed.
Typically it's one of the last things a team think about due to time constraints and the tangibility of it. Product Owners will tend to push for the tangible features until the entire team realises there's a problem with performance.
That's why we, as developers, should think about the application's performance at the very start of the project. Yes, even before we open the code editor and write the very first line. It's something that we should be raising from the bottom up as part of features that are required to be part of the core and discuss with the team along with Product Owners to ensure it goes into early implementation.
I'll take an example from the project I'm currently working on.
In my team, we were fortunate that performance improvements could be made without making changes to the core code base. The application is built using nested set model (Tree structure). We use MongoDB to store the data and the application lifts the weight of object loading.
In simple terms, we have only one class which is responsible for all data objects in the system. Yes, there are a few more classes that help handling data validation, related data loading, and more, but the core of the application is one class. Any data point in the system is an instance of that main class.
This architecture has helped us scale the system without having to make any core changes to the code base. In fact, besides maintenance, the core of the application hasn't seen any added features in years.
But even though this architecture has lots of pros in our case, it has its drawbacks when it comes to performance.
Our benchmark was for any endpoint to load within less than a second. Our application is very data heavy, and some endpoints were taking up to 4 seconds when doing calculations against big datasets.
As we looked into the issue, it turned out to be that some helper classes responsible for calculations were regularly being called. Most noticable 3 or 4 levels down the chain due to the tree architecture.
We made two key changes to improve performance.
The first solution was to optimise the methods that load data objects. We used lazy loading on all the nested data relationships to reduce this stress.
The second solution was to cache data that was already being called during the process.
Before we dive deeper into cache implementation, let's have a look at the application structure.
The application is also deployed using Docker and deployment is done in separate containers.
Looking at the architecture of the application, we had plenty of freedom to optimise along many levels.
We	could only change the core code as a last resort.
Implementation shouldn't take long, to avoid any major refactoring.
Given the above constraints, it was clear we had to use an observer pattern as a wrapper to the application so we wouldn't touch the core code.
Now we knew we were building the cache layer using an observer pattern, we started utilising Laravel's Service Container.
And since the bottleneck was the constant data load from the database, we started by injecting a concrete implimentation of the data class.
The next step was to create interfaces with data fetching methods. The reason behind this approach was to have a class that can load data from the cache with the same method names. This way, there was no need to change the core code.
Once we had all those heavy data loading methods being extracted to interfaces, it was time to implement cache supported class.
Protip: Be wise when creating your cache tags and remember to use short cache tag names. Redis will thank you in the long run.
Once we created the cache supported classes, we could easily replace them with our concrete class with the help of the Service Container.
We have implemented a caching wrapper without disrupting the core of the application.
Now when the application calls any data loading methods it'll look in the cache first before it talks to the database.
As I mentioned earlier, in our application there is only one core class responsible for talking to database. We implemented cache expiration using the boot method in Elequent. But if you are not using Laravel, you can use the database model events that come with the library that you use.
Protip: When it comes to cache invalidation you need to make sure you use correct cache keys. Otherwise, it'll drop the whole cache when you transact with the database each and every time.
Dependency Injection. Everyone has heard about it, but do they really know it?
This is a common theme I get from most candidates I have interviewed in the past couple of years when looking for Software Engineers to work on our SaaS based BI platform EngineRoom at Digital360. But when I dig a little deeper into solutions they have built in the past, it has shown that most haven't followed proper implementation techniques.
In this blog post, I'll try to explain my take on dependency injection, and in particular how to implement a scalable solution.
According to Wikipedia. In software engineering, dependency injection is a technique whereby one object (or static method) supplies the dependencies of another object. A dependency is an object that can be used (a service). An injection is the passing of a dependency to a dependent object (a client) that would use it.
In this context an object (A) that expects another object's (B) help to complete a job that object (A) is responsible for. To explain the theory, I'll build a simple music player that can be used against multiple music services like Google Music, Spotify, etc.
Music player should be able to play music from user's preferred music service.
ProTip: How to find which dependencies to inject?
If we look at the above requirement, the music player is more on the parental side, it requires any number of music services to function. Therefore it makes sense to inject the music service into the music player.
But, due to that method injecting the object into the MusicPlayer class using the constructor, this is considered Constructor Injection.
This is considered bad practice as it permanently binds the GoogleMusic class to the MusicPlayer class.
Another example is creating the GoogleMusic object inside the MusicPlayer class.
Both code snippets above are doing the same mistake. They are permanently binding the GoogleMusic service to the MusicPlayer class. Now the MusicPlayer class has become unusable for anything other than the GoogleMusic service, so other services like the SpotifyMusic service cannot be used.
Let's add some support for the SpotifyMusic service.
In this scenario, the music player can work with Google Music and Spotify. But the music services are still coupled tightly with the player.
What issues are we are going to face if we couple our code tightly to the Music player?
First. Let's look at the problem we are trying to solve once more.
We are building a system that can play music based on a user's prefered service.
If you read the problem again you can see that we are going to have multiple music services. To use multiple services with dependency injections we need to build services against contracts. A contract in OOP is an Interface.
ProTip: When to create an Interface?
I have seen some developers go overboard with writing code against interfaces for everything and make the code so dynamic without having the real need. If you are going to have more than one similar type of class (Google Music, Spotify, Apple Music, etc.), then create one interface.
As we know that we are going to support more than one music service, we will be creating an IMusicService interface and an ITrack interface.
We don't need an interface for the music player because there is only going to be one player.
But why an Interface for the Track?
We don't know how other services will return track listings or other information, therefore to be on the safe side, we can have a separate ITrack implementation to handle separate responses.
Now let's write the music player class.
If you look at the MusicPlayer constructor, it takes one argument. It's the Music service Interface.
It's time to let the music player play some tracks from the injected services.
We can use an IoC container (Inversion of Control) to handle the creation of these objects and not worry about it again until there is a new service that needs to be supported.
As IoC is its own topic I won't get too deep on that subject here. For the moment think about it as a dynamic object injection based on required dependencies by the MusicPlayer class (although it's much more than that).
In the example that follows, I'll be using Laravel's IoC container.
Once the IoC installation is done using composer, we can create an IoC instance and let it handle injection to the MusicPlayer instance based on the logic we want.
In our case loading different music service objects based on different user preferences.
You can find the completed code in the Github. It comes with a Dockerfile for you to try it out.
If you have any questions/suggestions around the implementation feel free to contact me.

For those of you playing along at home, just to re-cap the individual, Devin Nunes—who drafted and dropped a think-piece that reinforces the narrative of the government agencies being infiltrated by ideologues of the Deep-State and are conspiring against the Trump administration not only wrote the memorandum himself, ordered de-classified and released to the public by Trump (propelled by the momentum of a twitter storm) against the wishes of the Federal Bureau of Investigations since it could not be expected to rebut this characterisation without disclosing classified and privileged information—was the same individual who in April of 2017 was temporarily removed from the investigation into ties with the Russian oligarchs and possible meddling over disclosure of classified documents to the White House he had obtained from the White House.
Trump was convinced that Obama was spying on him via his microwave oven and Nunes later rejoined the Committee. This was our Friday Matinee Massacre—paralleling the way Watergate pivoted after Nixon's series of firings. To see what could come next, one need only look to the beleaguered Turkish people under their despot Erdoğan whose purges have not stopped and have intensified recently after medical professionals and academics (already under assault) are being ostracised and alienated for the smallest perceived infractions and anything that does not please the ruling party. Those found afoul in the public sector are not only summarily dismissed from the jobs, they are also not allowed to seek any government-sponsored assistance, and blacklisted—atomised as it were from contacts and social support—are either impoverished or imprisoned and have to resort to selling off their possessions and property to survive. These changes tend to creep up on you and we tend to miss the gradations until they've become so ensconced that it's difficult to regain liberties and trust we've sacrificed. We have to try and stay a few plays ahead.


Alexander Zverev claimed the biggest win of his career on Sunday in London, beating Novak Djokovic in two sets to win the 2018 ATP World Tour Finals. The set scores were 6-4, 6-3.
The underdog claimed a break late in the first set and carried his momentum into the second, serving his way to the end-of-season title. Djokovic, who had been in sensational form throughout the tournament, never got to the level he has displayed in the past few weeks.
Djokovic came out firing in the rallies but found a serious challenger in Zverev, who was game from the base line and did plenty of damage with his serve.
Djokovic seemed to have the edge in the longer points, but Zverev's defence was on point and the German did a great job of avoiding errors. He did go to his challenges early, wasting a few on shots that were clearly out, but overall the 21-year-old made few mistakes.
In the ninth game of the set, Djokovic made two crucial errors that handed the youngster a break chance. The German took full advantage, claiming it immediately and serving out the set for a shock lead in the following game.
And he didn't stop there. Zverev carried his momentum straight into the second set, with a rattled Djokovic coughing up another break.
Djokovic breaks straight back after a wild service game from Zverev. Could prove to be a huge turning point. Back on serve at 1-1 in the second.
Zverev refused to let the bad serve game get to him, however, using a poor drop shot to earn himself another break point and converting once again.
The 31-year-old was unable to continue the run of break of serves, with Zverev holding for a 3-1 lead and a golden opportunity to win.
Zverev kept serving well and soon found himself within a single game of the upset, taking care of business in the ninth game.
It's easily the biggest win of the youngster's career, who will hope this ATP World Tour Finals title will set him up for even greater things in the Grand Slams in 2019.
Djokovic had a phenomenal end to the season but seemed visibly tired in Sunday's final, perhaps not surprising given the many matches he has played of late.


Garlic scapes are in season! It has been especially wet this year, causing a delay in planting crops, and some planted fields being flooded out. So I was a little bit worried that I wasn't going to be able to get one of my favourite local spring crops — one that generally only shows up at farmers' markets in the first place, and rarely in stores. However, even fiddleheads are starting to be available in the fresh fruit & vegetable aisles, so maybe garlic scapes are not far behind. I spotted the scapes first this year at the booth in front of Orleans Fruit Farm, which means they'll probably be available at the farmers' markets this coming weekend.
Not long ago, scapes were fairly rare in North America. Now, with more market gardeners growing garlic, we are seeing more of the fresh green flower stalks showing up around the end of June or beginning of July. Scapes are tender and very tasty stems that are cut from the garlic in order to allow the plant to put all of its energy in to growing the bulbs that will be harvested in the fall. These lightly garlic-scented vegetables can be grilled, steamed or poached. Treat them as you would asparagus or green beans, and use them in casseroles, soups and stews.
Preserving goes on to explain the best ways to preserve scapes (freezing being preferred), and has recipes for garlic scape relish, garlic scape pesto, and garlic scape pesto potatoes. Now, I bought this cookbook years after I developed an appreciation for scapes, so when I make garlic scape pesto I use the recipe that Roadapple Ranch would tuck into each bag of scapes that they sold at market; they have also made their simple and delicious garlic scape pesto recipe available online.
Me, I am dying to try garlic scape pesto in the Marbled Pesto Bread on page 142 of Bread Machine: How to Prepare and Bake the Perfect Loaf by Jennie Shapter (2001) or the Pesto Sourdough Loaf on page 91 of The Complete Guide to Bread Machine Baking from Better Homes and Gardens (1999). But given how much I like garlic scapes, there's a good chance mine will be grilled or steamed for dinner before I have a chance to incorporate them into bread. Not that I'm too worried; I still have a number of jars of homemade pesto in the freezer from last year, simply because I made so much. I guess I'd better get cracking on eating those up!

"Just to be aware", she told WPVI.
"The next thing I know, he shot it in our direction and 'bam.' It like, hit me like a ton of bricks. The hot dog bounced off my face and into the other seat", she said.
Such was the case in the "City of Brotherly Love" Wednesday night, when the Phillies iconic mascot - the Phillie Fanatic - fired a hot dog launcher, directly at a fan's face.
A Philadelphia Phillies fan has been hospitalized after being hit in the face - not with a foul ball, but a flying hot dog.
The victim, a Phillies fan named Kathy McVay, was checked for a concussion and emerged with painful facial injuries. "I understand a baseball, but not a hot dog", she said with a laugh. "My glasses flew", she said.
On Monday night, a game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the St. Louis Cardinals would become extremely unsafe for a fan in the stands and she would be sent to the hospital as a result.
The Phanatic, naturally, felt awful about what happened, and the team reached out to her on Tuesday to apologize.
Plus McVay is taking it in stride, syaing if it "makes somebody chuckle, then that's fine".
The baseball club have reportedly offered her free game tickets when she has recovered, but we're hoping McVay also gets free hotdogs for life. We're told the Phanatic feels awful about what happened.


Must be the language; do Readers read? or sing?
A reader (anagnostis, chtets) chants, with the exception of the Ikos at Matins, which should be read in a monotone.
Icon painter at my church agrees with your translation, contrary to what I've heard before.....from priests.
The iconographer at your parish has it right. In my long experience, those who insist icons are written are overwhelmingly converts who only speak English.
Looks a bit like the Theotokos of Athos.
And was created from the very similar idea. I can't see anything wrong with the LA icon as long as the Athonite is OK.
There is the problem of the Native American "Christ" and "Mother of God" surrounded by mandorlas in the LA painting.
I cannot clearly see what is in those circles. I assumed there are some saints associated with LA.
They are not. The motif on the left is of a native mother and child, the one on the right of a native warrior. Neither are shown with haloes, yet both are surrounded by mandorlas. This imagery is at best confused, at worst syncretist.
Why can't they be symbolical? Like Kosmos on Pentecost icon? Or that old dude on Nativity one?
Kosmos is surrounded by the darkness of a world not yet enlightened by the Holy Spirit. The old man talking to St Joseph is the devil, trying to plant doubt into him about the paternity of the newborn Christ. Both these symbols are spoken of in hymns and prayers, and neither bears a halo, and neither are surrounded by a mandorla of divine uncreated light.
...for the union of all, let us pray to the Lord.
Wow. A synaxis of the Orthodox Churches of my home town.
Most are fairly accurate visually. Which is either scary or impressive.
I found the icon at Uncut Mountain Supply Icons .
I'm curious as why there is a man depicted standing on top of one of the towers and conversing with an angel.
If it wasn't quite so confused I would get one to pray for my hometown.
All opinions expressed by myself are quite tragically my own, and not those of any other poster or wall hangings.
It also leads me to want to have a Seattle/ Washington one with both St John of SF and Shanghai and the newly canonized St Sebastian Dabovich included since they each have a firm connection to churches here.
Along with St Tikhon (who consecrated a now very old chapel in a nearby-ish mining town) it would be rather like a synaxis but also the cities.
I mean st. Nicholas in the left corner; usually in this place in the icons presenting st. George there is Christ also in such "aureola"
It's possible that the inclusion of St Nicholas is to commemorate a family member or perhaps the person who commissioned the icon for someone called George. The usual way of doing this is to paint such saints in the borders of the icon, rather than as a medallion seen here.
Here's a more typical way of commemorating family members or patrons. This icon of St Nikita features St Simon the Kinsman of the Lord, Venerable Evdokia, and a guardian angel in the side borders. It's likely this icon was painted for someone called Nikita, where the other saints were the patrons of either his parents or Godparents.
^^ I was going to ask you for an example So thanks And yeah, now I think that I've seen such icons (I mean with the additional patrons) like of st. Nikita you presented.
Mary looks like an angry man.
Yea, I thought she looked angry....stared and then she looked sad and angry.....the painter caught her hours after wherein I would have been both! So, I figure they did it right.....disturbing.
Oh, and I don't see the male part of it.
St. Efrosinos the Cook - does anybody have an info about him in English?
Great-martyr Marina subduing a black demon is a common sight in post-17th century icons. Some versions have her holding the demon by the horns. I'm not a fan of such portrayals, especially as they are rather late in historical appearance.
The resolution of the image is too low for me to work out what the inscription is under the bishop shown next to Apostle Barnabas. He might be the patron who commissioned the icon, or a bishop of Cyprus. The land mass that St Barnabas is standing on has the shape of the island that is Cyprus, of which he is a patron, having served there as its first archbishop.
You're right, this is the first time I've seen Christ wrapped in such a cloth in this type of icon. It is probably an attempt to show him in a burial shroud.
Saint Euphrosynus the Cook was from one of the Palestinian monasteries, and his obedience was to work in the kitchen as a cook. Toiling away for the brethren, St Euphrosynus did not absent himself from thought about God, but rather dwelt in prayer and fasting. He remembered always that obedience is the first duty of a monk, and therefore he was obedient to the elder brethren.
The patience of the saint was amazing: they often reproached him, but he made no complaint and endured every unpleasantness. St Euphrosynus pleased the Lord by his inner virtue which he concealed from people, and the Lord Himself revealed to the monastic brethren the spiritual heights of their unassuming fellow-monk.
One of the priests of the monastery prayed and asked the Lord to show him the blessings prepared for the righteous in the age to come. The priest saw in a dream what Paradise is like, and he contemplated its inexplicable beauty with fear and with joy.
He also saw there a monk of his monastery, the cook Euphrosynus. Amazed at this encounter, the presbyter asked Euphrosynus, how he came to be there. The saint answered that he was in Paradise through the great mercy of God. The priest again asked whether Euphrosynus would be able to give him something from the surrounding beauty. St Euphrosynus suggested to the priest to take whatever he wished, and so the priest pointed to three luscious apples growing in the garden of Paradise. The monk picked the three apples, wrapped them in a cloth, and gave them to his companion.
The priest related everything to the monastery brethren, pointing out the spiritual loftiness of Euphrosynus in pleasing God, and he pointed to the fragrant paradaisical fruit. Deeply affected by what they heard, the monks went to the kitchen, in order to pay respect to St Euphrosynus, but they did not find him there. Fleeing human glory, the monk had left the monastery. The place where he concealed himself remained unknown, but the monks always remembered that their monastic brother St Euphrosynus had come upon Paradise, and that they in being saved, through the mercy of God would meet him there. They reverently kept and distributed pieces of the apples from Paradise for blessing and for healing.
I know these icons are Coptic, but generally we (EO) have very similar canons.
This is an icon of St George (I think?) in "batik", found by a friend at an antique store. Does anyone know anything about it? Age? Place of origin? Etc.
It is a famous one of St George, from Novgorod, Russia, painted in the late 14th century.
It's an icon of Joshua, son of Nun. I suspect the bulk of the inscription is either OT scripture relating to him, or derived from it, but the cropping of the original mural icon has removed some of the text.
That's interesting. I like it.
I really like this: both the icon and the subject.
Who is the saint on the left?
Thanks for the hagiography of St. Efrosinos the Cook. For some strange reason I always thought he was holding an onion. Buy was I wrong.
I see his icon quite a bit in local businesses. I find it comforting.
The inscription reads: The Mother of God praying at the Mount of Olives for protection against the power of Satan. The angel shown is Archangel Gabriel.
The image looks like a panel from a "life" icon, which has a central depiction of a saint, surrounded by small panels depicting aspects of their life.
The assembly of angels and the race of men.
O sanctified Temple and rational Paradise! O glory of virgins!
From you, God was incarnate and became a child, our God before the ages.
He made your body into a throne, and your womb He made more spacious than the heavens.
All of creation rejoices in you, Lady full of grace, glory to you.
The version Dominika has posted is simplified compared to most other compositions, but retains some of the features distinctive to this icon type: the magi presenting their gifts to the enthroned Mother and Child, the assembly of angels, and things of earth such as hills and vegetation. The two haloed saints in the lower half are St John of Damascus on the left, and St Kosmas of Maiuma, iconographers who wrote a great number of hymns to the Mother of God.
Yes it's indeed Joshua of Naue, a mosaic on the exterior wall of the Katholikon of the Monastery of Hosios Loukas in Boeotia, Greece. Interestingly enough, the warrior's armor he is depicted wearing, is the Byzantine typical equipment of a heavily armed infantryman of the 10th-12th c.

On August 26, 2014, work was begun at Prospect Hill Cemetery to restore the wrought iron fence at the Mitchell family lot where noted astronomer Maria Mitchell, her parents William and Lydia Mitchell, along with her oldest brother Andrew, her oldest sister Sally, and her aunt and namesake Maria Coleman are interred. Neil Patterson will reset the granite stones so the DeAngelis Ironwork of Boston can restore the wrought iron fence around the Mitchll family lot at historic Prospect Hill Cemetery.
Thank you, to the Community Preservation Committee, Neil Patterson and crew, and DeAngelis Ironwork!

Q: Flask SocketIO disconnect on OS Date Change I have a Web application that is using Flask-socketIO.
__init__.py
import flask
import flask_socketio

app = flask.Flask(__name__)
socketio = flask_socketio.SocketIO()
socketio.init_app(app, manage_session=False)

I have this in my manage.py
socketio.run(app, host='0.0.0.0', port=80)

I have this in my socket_IO.py
@WebApp.socketio.on('disconnect', namespace='/all')
def disconnect():
    """Socket disconnected."""
    print('Disconnected')

If i now set the system clock ( Ubuntu 16.04 ) for example 1 day forward i get socket disconnect. I can set the clock backwards to whatever i want it does not effect the socket.
What i expect to happen is for the socket not to fire the disconnect function on a change in the system clock.
Does flask-socketIO use the system clock and because of that makes the socket disconnect if it's set forward and not backwards?
Thanks in advance

Pop superstar BEYONCE was booed at the V Festival on Saturday (17Aug13) after she left thousands of fans waiting in the pouring rain.
The singer headlined the opening night of the event in Chelmsford but got off to a bad start by taking to the stage 20 minutes late, leaving the crowd standing in the wet and windy conditions.
A chorus of boos and jeers rang out through the site before Beyonce finally started her set with her track Run the World (Girls).
She later thanked fans for waiting in the wet conditions, telling the crowd, "Thank you all so much for waiting in the rain... Now let's have some fun in the rain. It feels good doesn't it."
Beyonce headlines the second night of the festival at its sister site in Stafford on Sunday night (18Aug13).

Shane tells stories of horrific pain and heroic grace. He interviews victims of violent crimes, survivors of death row, lawyers, experts, and even an executioner.
In this thought-provoking work, Claiborne explores the contrast between punitive justice and restorative justice, questioning our notions of fairness, revenge, and absolution. At times, Shane also dives into the Bible and into history.
Shane takes another look at the Bible because the death penalty has succeeded in America not in spite of Christians, but because of Christians. He looks at history because it is impossible to separate the contemporary practice of the death penalty from the historic terror of lynching. He shows why the death penalty today is in critical condition, and why we can live without it.
At the heart of the book are stories that show the true cost of the death penalty. These stories raise the question: should we kill those who kill to show that it's wrong to kill?
Is there a better way? In Executing Grace, he reminds us of the divine power of forgiveness, and evokes the fundamental truth of the Gospel that no one, even a criminal, is beyond redemption.

Actinic Keratosis is also known as solar keratosis and is usually a condition that one suffers by getting too overexposed to the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun. Its characteristics are dry skin that occurs or forms in patches that are not uniform, with these areas being either colored or discolored and such areas can further become solid like warts or growths with horn like structures.
Too much exposure to the sun will directly cause this kind of keratosis and the condition will mostly be seen in the surfaces of the skin that which are more exposed to the sun. Areas that can get affected include the face, the back of the hand, the ears and sometimes even the bald spots on the scalp. In some cases there are occurrences on the chest or even on the back. This condition also predominantly affects people with fair skin and its occurrence in people of darker skin is quite infrequent.
Abrasions or hardened patches of skin will begin to come into sight on the sun damaged skin and will be restricted to one area or will spread in numbers and magnitude. Countries near the equator that experience weather that is sunny will have high incidences of actinic keratosis and people who work outdoors and sports fans are more susceptible to the condition while men are more vulnerable to it than women and that is why outdoor professional men suffer more from it.
With age, there is also an increased chanceance of developing keratoses. There is a cumulative damage factor as far as ultraviolet rays are concerned and this happens over the years thus increasing the chances that one can get actinic keratosis in middle aged people. The damage caused by the sun can thus be experienced by the young as well as the old.
Though this is not a life threatening condition, it is deemed pre-cancerous which means it can become complicated and develop into skin cancer or Squamous Cell Carcinoma and it is best to seek medical advice soonest possible. Medication as well as surgery or a mix of both can cure actinic keratosis and it is best to get the doctor's advice on the best treatment method in consideration with one's specific condition, age, skin cancer history, and allergies. Treatment may result in disfiguration of skin in some patients and reconstructive surgery may be the only option when all symptoms have been surgically removed.
To prevent this condition from occurring, minimize sun exposure by using good sunscreen and avoid midday sun exposure. Wearing clothes which provide additional sun protection like wide brimmed hats, long sleeved shirts or blouses and long skirts or trousers is a good idea. While this is a condition that can be reversed by medication, it is best to take precautions and avoid the condition completely or if you have already gone through the condition, avoid recurrence because it is better to play safe with a condition like cancer which actinic keratosis might ultimately lead to.


can be a dreamer and believer in their lives. Tell me how this can be! Businesses take dreams to build from, it comes from the very soul and you can make it into a reality. No fear is a very popular catchphrase that has more power than you realize. No fear is a trademark of No fear Inc. and due to the power and popularity in the 1990's of the slogan based clothing.

Take a moment and examine your website and see if there is anything that is not transparent or reflective of your professionalism and energy. Do you get your message out in the right way? The ways that you market and advertise to prospects can make your life easy or difficult! If you are using cheap markup landing pages, with all the yellow highlights and red arrows, it may be harming your level of sales. Perhaps your sales copy is weak and not focused to your market.
Take a moment and reflect on your content.
can change out their content and should do it every so often. It may be a costly adventure, but you should keep your old sales copy. Try something new and let it ride for a few months. This should give it enough time to either make a difference or fall apart. Study the results and compare it with the old copy. Sometimes you can blend both copies for a better result. Marketing campaigns do have a life span! So pre-planning several in advance is a wise idea. You can then incorporate them as one ends and launch the new one. You can then study the results and dream bigger for next time.

Cultural differences are likely to affect the ability to deal with anxiety. We investigated this issue among four cultural groups—Germans and Italians (Europeans living in South Tyrol, Italy), Jews and Arabs (Israelis)—in terms of their levels of differentiation of self, trait anxiety and somatic symptoms. We also examined the relationship of differentiation of self to trait anxiety and somatic symptoms. The sample consisted of 824 students: 387 Israelis (mean age 23.6) and 437 Europeans (mean age 22.3). Israeli participants reported lower levels of trait anxiety than European students. Jewish students reported lower trait anxiety than Arab students (mean difference = −.14, p < .009), while there was no difference between German and Italian students (mean difference = .03, p > .99). Jews reported a significantly lower level of emotional cutoff than Arabs (mean difference = −.45, p < .001), and Germans reported a significantly lower level of emotional reactivity than Italians (mean difference = .29, p < .001). Emotional reactivity and I‐position predicted all participants' trait anxiety. On the whole, results point to the importance of examining differentiation of self when trying to reduce trait anxiety, as well as some important cultural differences.

What Is Haptic Technology?
What was the world like a decade and a half ago? Looking back fifteen or so years from today, when the internet was in the era of the dot-com boom, the Web was sternly at 1.0, and, believe it or not, Google was in its infancy then. The world has changed considerably over the past 15 years and the rapid development of new technologies and the unimaginable growth of the internet has forever changed the way we live our lives.
What technology was before has made a big leap to what it is today. A new era of haptic technology has begun and will be dominant in the world in terms of the technology that we use.
What is haptic?
The term "haptic" was derived from the Greek word "hapthesthai", which simply means sense of touch. Scientists commonly know haptic as the "science of applying tactile sensation to human interaction with computers." Haptic enables anyone to get the sense and feel of the world around them. In the case of technology, haptic is cleverly able to make any user sense or feel and manipulate the virtual objects within the technology that they are using. This is made possible by a kind of motor called an actuator that converts electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic energy into vibrations. This is achieved with the use and control of software that is capable of determining duration, frequency and amplitude.
Through the use haptic devices, the user can not only feed information to the computer but as well can receive information from the computer into a form of felt-sensation on any part of the body. Simply putting it into layman's terms, haptic technology empowers anyone to be able to grasp, absorb, and recognize reality inside the computer.
The Next Frontier
There is no doubt that haptic technology is going to be the next frontier in human-computer interaction. Gone will be the days where a user can only feel the vibrations of their phone for alerts and notifications or video game controllers that enable gamers to feel explosions or crashes. Also, pinching or zooming through touch screen devices and experiencing high-definition sounds through headphones, is already becoming a thing of the past.
Haptic technology has turned a dream into reality. Based on studies done, the human body is highly sophisticated in recognizing and responding to textures, vibrations and the like that are directly absorbed by the receptors in our somatosensory system. This is why many technological scientists today are exploring further the world of haptic technology. They believe, that improving physical feedback in consumer technology is important as the world attempts to divide all that is physical and tangible and all that is digital and virtual. There is no question that the world that we know now will not be the same world that we know tomorrow.
The digital world has increasingly changed the way we move and live. Scientists attempting to improve and to make our lives easier are finding that almost nothing is impossible anymore. Haptic technology will make so much possible, just watch, see, and feel for yourself.

Q: Get generic field value from list of generic types I have a bunch of settings that can be one of many types. For example, URL, text, number, etc. Based on other posts I came up with the following that seems to work okay:
public abstract class SettingViewModel
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string Description { get; set; }

    public SettingType Type { get; set; }

    public string DefaultValue { get; set; }

    public Module? Module { get; set; }
}

public class SettingViewModel<T> : SettingViewModel
{
    [Required]
    public T Value { get; set; }
}

My biggest problem with this is that when it comes time to read the values in Value for each setting I want to do have a method like. I wouldn't want to change the shape of this method really, because I want to keep it generic and it will be exposed as a Controller Method in MVC
    public void Update(SettingViewModel Setting)
    {
        GS_SysConfig setting = new GS_SysConfig();

        //might also just use a util function to convert to string based on the type of Value
        setting.ConfigVal = Setting.Value.ToString(; //Value is not a field in the abstract class
        db.SaveChanges();
    }

This won't work because Value is not a field in the parent class, and I suppose I could come up with some way of doing casting and and getting types and such, but it seems messy and not very elegant. Is there a better approach to tryign to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Update:
ConfigVal is of type String

Bristol Bears winners and losers: Harry Thacker for England, Will Hurrell vital, Callum Sheedy a Premiership 10
Bristol Bears 40-45 Northampton Saints

Bristol Bears lost their perfect home record on Saturday with a 40-45 defeat to Northampton Saints.
But it was another impressive display at Ashton Gate by Pat Lam's side.
Here Marcello Cossali-Francis take a look at the winners and losers from the big match.
Bristol Bears 40 Northampton Saints 45: Match report - Bears defeated in 85-point thriller

Harry Thacker is one of a kind
The 23-year-old hooker has started this season in sensational form and you would assume he has been on the England radar for a little while now.
His chances will only increase if his performances continue for the Bears and he was very unlucky not to receive man-of-the-match at the weekend.
He was all over the pitch, covering a ridiculous amount of space for the time he was on the field. He carried well and beat defenders, whilst playing a key role in the first try and scoring one of his own in the first-half.

Will Hurrell the battering ram
The inside centre had his best game of the season so far and was rightly named man-of-the-match for his performance. He scored two tries, both of which were finished well but it is his ability to make yards and beat defenders from a standing start, something he did multiple times in the game. He crashed his way through tackles and often required two or three Saints players to bring him down.

Callum Sheedy more than capable
When the news filtered through the press room that Ian Madigan had been ruled out pre-match, people saw it as a big loss and a potential game changer.
But despite his lack of experience at this level, Sheedy, as he did against Saracens, showed he can step up and deputise confidently.
He managed the game well and created plenty of chances and space out wide, whilst kicking the ball intelligently. His cross-kick for the Luke Morahan try was perfection and managed 6/8 from the tee.
"Big opportunity missed" - Pat Lam says indiscipline cost Bristol Bears against Northampton Saints
Losers:

O'Conor still much to work on defensively
Whilst the full-back creates plenty of chances and gets people off their feet, his defensive performance was disappointing in this game. He made just two tackles all game and missed five, which will certainly have been picked up by the management team. He is still getting used to this role at full-back and he was not the only one who was poor from a defensive point of view but he needs to drop that count going forward.

Referee Pearce leaves sour taste
Despite the Bears taking two points from the match, it could have been more had certain decisions gone differently. Pearce decided that Andy Uren was tackled before he went over for a score, when it looked obvious that he wasn't held.
That decision was made when Bears were in full-swing and had just scored through Thacker and had the decision gone the other way, the game could have had a different feel.
Bristol Bears Head Coach Pat Lam (Image: www.jmpuk.com)
Discipline and defence do the damage
The Bears were more than a match for the Saints in an attacking sense and the home side looked capable of scoring tries every time they put phases together in the Saints 22. Bristol scored five tries and could have had more but the defence was, for once, a downside for the Bears.
25 tackles were missed through the 80 minutes on Saturday and Pat Lam and his staff will know that wins will be difficult to achieve with that amount.
Discipline has been an issue most weeks so far and the Bears again caused themselves problems with the high penalty count, especially in the first-half. Work still needs to be done in that area going forward into the next few weeks.
Bristol Bears travel to Worcester Warriors on Sunday in one of the biggest games of the season. BristolLive will be there LIVE blogging the match bringing you all the build-up, action, reaction, analysis and highlights.


Carbon nanotube is the form of carbon element that show spectacular electrical and optical properties. They are in the form of thin empty cylinders. Elastic modulus of carbon nanotubes is nearly 1 TPa (it is known that elastic modulus of diamond is 1,2 TPa). It has higher strength than steel at the same weight. Another significant property of carbon nanotube is carrying electricity so that it carries 1000 times more than copper and silver do. Moreover, at high tempreatures it preserves its unique properties for more with respect to other materials. Because of these great characteristics, it replaces many materials in the industry.
