Scott Morrison has urged Australians to remain calm over reports of two NSW deaths that may have been linked to a coronavirus vaccine.
The Prime Minister said the Therapeutic Goods Administration's medical experts needed to be allowed to do their job and provide advice on all adverse reactions.
"They went through a no-corners-cut process of assessing the vaccines in Australia. Their investigators move on these issues very quickly," Mr Morrison told Darwin radio Mix 104.9 on Thursday.
"We've got to be careful about how we talk about these cases. Let's allow the medical facts to be established and let's make decisions to be made on facts."
A 55-year-old man from Tamworth in NSW reportedly died on April 21 after getting his first shot eight days earlier.
A relative of the man told the Northern Daily Leader he died of blood clots in his lungs.
The death of another NSW man, believed to be in his 70s, who died in Sydney this week, is also being investigated by the TGA.
Earlier in April, 48-year-old Genene Norris, from the NSW Central Coast, suffered fatal blood clotting after receiving the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
She had underlying health conditions, but the TGA confirmed the clotting was likely to be linked to the vaccine.
Later on Thursday, TGA boss John Skerritt backed up Mr Morrison, urging Australians not to leap to conclusions before the authority had completed its investigation.
"We have 11,000 adverse events in front of us, ranging from a sore arm through to people having a heart attack a week after having a vaccine, through to a number of other things," he said.
"For privacy reasons, I don't want to go into details of individual patient tests and results and other conditions they may or may not have had, [but] the current evidence does not suggest a likely association."
Professor Skerritt said about 50 Australians presented to doctors or hospitals each day with blood clots "from a range of activities, [or] coming from no reason at all".
"It is one of the more significant causes of death in this country," he said.
"It's important to realise that we're not seeing a flood of these serious cases."
The cautious tones from Professor Skerritt and Mr Morrison came as the government and health experts try to fight rising vaccine hesitancy.
The TGA has confirmed six cases of rare blood clots that are likely linked to the AstraZeneca vaccination.
While there is advice it not be used in people under 50, the side effect is extremely rare, with between four and six cases for every one million jabs.
Victoria is putting the heat on the federal government to stump up cash for a new quarantine facility in Melbourne's north.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the state government was yet to request funding.
Mr Morrison, who met tourism industry chiefs in Darwin, said options to bring more overseas workers and international students to the NT were also being canvassed.
"It would have to be a partnership with the commercial sector," he said.
He noted setting up specific quarantine facilities like at Howard Springs near Darwin needed to consider infection control, workforce, security and flights.
"It's not just about finding a mining camp with some beds. It's much more complicated than that," Mr Morrison said.
Labor continues to pressure the Coalition government to boost hotel quarantine and take charge of more federally run centres.

Q: How to simply keep up-to-date records in file I would like to simply keep up-to-date records in file A given file B using bash on Linux.
Both A and B files have same structure.
There is a record on each line of file consists of public-key and comment separated by space. Comment is a composition of user@hostname and is unique in file.
Example:
B file
xxxxxx user1@hostname1
yyyyyy user2@hostname2
wwwwww user3@hostname3

A file
yxxxxx user1@hostname1
zzzzzz user4@hostname4
yyyyyy user2@hostname2

Which should result into:
A file
xxxxx user1@hostname1
zzzzz user4@hostname4
yyyyy user2@hostname2
wwwww user3@hostname3

I know I can read B file line by line and check whether file A contains a record by comment. If not append record. If yes, check whether to update. However it evolves a multiple lines of code in bash script.
Can it be done simpler?

A: A little awk script
awk '
  NR == FNR {print; seen[$2]; next}
  !($2 in seen)
' A B

And to save the changes back to file A, pick one of
awk '...' A B | sponge A        # from the `moreutils` package

tmp=$(mktemp)
awk '...' A B > "$tmp" && mv "$tmp" A

A: Yet another way to get the same result records, only sorted:
join -a1 -a2 -j2 B <(sort A) | awk '{print $2, $1}'

A: You can use diff command with grep
diff a.txt b.txt | grep -Po "^(<|>) \K.*"

A: I suppose A is the original list and B is the update list.
Find users in B for which updates exist.
$ cut -d ' ' -f 2 B
user1@hostname1
user2@hostname2
user3@hostname3

Take A and remove all lines with users from B. This are the lines of A, for which no update exists.
$ grep -v -f <(cut -d ' ' -f 2 B) A
zzzzzz user4@hostname4

Append B to the above list:
$ grep -v -f <(cut -d ' ' -f 2 B) A; cat B
zzzzzz user4@hostname4
xxxxxx user1@hostname1
yyyyyy user2@hostname2
wwwwww user3@hostname3

Notice: the above works only as long as no email is a sub-string of another email. If this can not be guaranteed, you have to use extended regular expressions with word boundaries.

A: If you are looking for a way to manage SSH keys in an authorized_keys file, my suggestion would be to generate this file from the *.pub keys in the current directory. Now the problem is reduced to adding a new key file, or removing or renaming a key file you want to exclude, and rerunning
cat *.pub >authorized_keys

(perhaps by way of a Makefile if that is a mechanism your users are familiar and comfortable with).
Obviously, there is a usability problem for users who forget or are unaware of this mechanism; but in many environments, this is acceptable and manageable with documentation and training.
The general mechanism of splitting monolithic configuration or data files into individual smaller files with simple fragments you can enable or disable individually is a good one to know about anyway. It is used in many places e.g. in Debian (see also run-parts for example) and systemd, so it should be easily recognizable and appreciated by admins.

I happened upon Scottish designer Scott Jarvie's website and his Clutch Project. The Clutch Chair is an experimental research project made from 10,000 drinking straws. In the Clutch Lamp, the straws are grouped together and transformed into a spot light. The inner surface of the straws reflect the light in a jewel-like manner creating a unique effect.
Instantly reminded me of one of my favorite artists, Tara Donovan's Haze installation: thousands of clear drinking straws stacked on a wall creating an effect that doesn't even look like the straws that it's made up of.

As the temps heat up, up, up along with the humidity, my thoughts are drifting towards cooler days. Which brings my attention to what I will be wearing and what colors will be showing for fall and winter of 2018. We definately need to know how to work them into our trusty favorites to keep our look fresh.
I always look to Pantone to guide me in my research and as usual I was not disappointed.
The fall/winter picks are an array of visually appealing colors. They blend well in patterns and prints but can also stand alone.
HOW TO wearing and or blend new colors into your wardrobe . Choose a solid as your base…such as the bright poppy for fall. Consider pairing it in small doses (say jewelry) or go bold as in a sweater. Now, add another of the fall colors…say an almond buff colored pant. You may add more color or stop here. I would add a scarf in these two colors to wear at my neck. You've instantly created a fresh look for fall.
If you are not quite that daring in your wardrobe, I recommend choosing just one of these colors to add a statement such as ceylon yellow or meerkat colored bag.
Why not try wearing martini olive as a neutral like this great top from Liligal.com? Wear it with dark washed denim and your favorite brown boots. Add pops of color via accessories in russet orange and limelight. Very earthy.
Trendy girls will go wild and add pops of color to their wardrobes like a pair of russet orange slacks. The key here is to pair it with something to tone it down like a graphic tee for hanging out with friends.
If you like to play around with colors but don't want to commit to them, a scarf in fall's colors are always a safe bet. Patterns in paisley, floral, and strips are always spot on.
How will you incorporate these colors in your wardrobe. Drop a comment below lovelies.

Borr Drilling Limited - Contemplated Equity Offering of USD
|Sep 22| 13 min read
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Borr Drilling Limited ("Borr" or the "Company") (NYSE: BORR) (OSE: BDRILL) is contemplating offering USD 40-50 million in new depository receipts (the "Offer Shares"), representing the beneficial interests in the same number of the Company's underlying common shares, each with a par value of USD 0.05, and each at a subscription price of USD 0.70 (the "Subscription Price") (the "Equity Offering").
Certain investors have pre-committed to subscribe for Offer Shares in the Equity Offering in the amount of approximately USD 30 million, of which individual members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") and the Company's executive management have pre-committed for a total of USD 3 million.
The net proceeds from the Equity Offering will be used to strengthen the Company's working capital and for general corporate purposes. The Company may also use part of the proceeds to repurchase bonds under the Company's USD 350 million convertible bond loan on term acceptable to the Board.
The application period opens today, on 22 September 2020, at 22:00 CET/4:00pm EST and ends at 08:00 CET/2.00am EST on 25 September 2020. The Company may, in its own discretion, extend or shorten the application period at any time and for any reason.
Completion of the Equity Offering is subject to (i) the Board resolving to consummate the Equity Offering and allocate the Offer Shares; (ii) publication of a prospectus approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway, relating to the listing of the Offer Shares and certain of the offer shares in the May private placement (hereinafter the "Listing Prospectus"); (iii) with respect to Tranche 2, the approval by the SGM of the increase of the Company's authorized share capital; and (iv) the Offer Shares, including the underlying new common shares, having been fully paid and legally issued. Each applicant acknowledges that the Equity Offering may be cancelled if the conditions are not fulfilled. Tranche 1 may, in the Company's discretion, be completed without Tranche 2.
Settlement of Tranche 1 of the Equity Offering is expected on or about 29 September 2020. Settlement of Tranche 2 of the Equity Offering is expected on or about 13 October 2020.
The Offer Shares, representing the beneficial interests in the same number of common shares in the Company, will only be listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange upon issuance. No Offer Shares will be offered or sold to the public in the United States or in transactions on the NYSE.
Subject to completion of the Equity Offering, Board approval, and the prevailing market price of the Company's depository receipts, the Company intends to carry out a subsequent offering of new depository receipts in the Company (the "Subsequent Offering"). The Subsequent Offering will, on the basis of an offering- and listing prospectus (the "Offering Prospectus") to be approved by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority, and subject to shareholder approval at the SGM, be directed towards holders of OSE depository receipts who: (i) hold OSE depository receipts as per the end of trading on 22 September 2020, as registered in VPS as of 24 September 2020, (ii) are not allocated Offer Shares in the Equity Offering, and (iii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or, for jurisdictions other than Norway, would require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action (the "Eligible Shareholders"). The Eligible Shareholders will be granted non-transferable subscription rights. The subscription period in the Subsequent Offering is expected to commence following publication of the Offering Prospectus, estimated in end October 2020. The subscription price in the Subsequent Offering will correspond with the Subscription Price in the Private Placement. Investors allocated Offer Shares in the Equity Offering will not be given the right to participate in a Subsequent Offering.
The securities offered in the Equity Offering and any Subsequent Offering have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
This press release includes forward looking statements, which do not reflect historical facts and may be identified by words such as "may", "expect", "may", "will" and similar expressions and include statements relating to the contemplated Equity Offering including the conditions to the offering, pre-commitments to subscribe for Offer Shares and the intended use of the net proceeds of the Equity Offering and the Subsequent Offering.

Triunfosaurus (que significa "réptil da bacia de Triunfo") é um gênero de dinossauro saurópode do Cretáceo Inferior do Brasil. Contém uma única espécie, T. leonardii, descrita por Carvalho et al. em 2017. Como um gênero, Triunfosaurus pode ser distinguido de todos os outros titanossauros pelas proporções únicas de seu isquio. Provavelmente foi um titanossauro bastante basal, e, consequentemente, é o primeiro titanossauro basal conhecido. Sua presença na América do Sul apoia a hipótese de que os titanossauros se originaram no continente.

Descoberta
O holótipo de Triunfosaurus, UFRJ-DG 498, foi encontrado em uma camada arenosa da Formação Rio Piranhas a oeste do estado da Paraíba, no Brasil. Seus restos fósseis são compostos basicamente por vértebras caudais e parte de bacia.
O tipo e a única espécie Triunfosaurus leonardii foi nomeado e descrito em 2017 por Ismar de Souza Carvalho, Leonardo Salgado, Rafael Matos Lindoso, Hermínio Ismael de Araújo-Júnior, Francisco Cézar Costa Nogueira e José Agnelo Soares. O nome genérico refere-se à Bacia de Triunfo na Paraíba, enquanto o nome específico homenageia o paleontologista Giuseppe Leonardi.

Boyany is located 17 km east of Chernivtsi. In the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, Boyany was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1890, there were 938 Jews living in the village. They were traders and craftsmen. At the end of the 19th century, the village became one of the important centers of Hasidism in Bukovyna. In 1918, Boyany was taken over by Romania and remained under its rule until 1940. As the front line was held in the village, Boyany was almost completely destroyed. Only two houses remained undamaged. From the late 19th century until the 1930's, there was a Zionist-religious society "Ohavei Zion" in Boyany and in 1925 a new synagogue was built with the help of a charity society. In the 1920's, a Jewish commune was created in the village. Many social and cultural charitable organizations operated in the town. On June 28, 1940 the northern part of Bukovyna, including Boyany, was taken over by the USSR. At that time the Jewish population of the village was 650 people. The village was occupied by the Romanians in July 1941.
The testimonies recorded by Yahad confirm and complete the archives: on July 7-8, 1941, the Romanians shot 87 people in Boyany in the large cellar of a demolished house that served as a pit. The shooting lasted several days. The Jews were brought in small groups of 10 to 15 people and were shot one by one in the pit by several shooters who remained permanently next to the pit. Among the victims, about twenty Jewish boys over 7 years old were taken directly from school to the pit and shot. At the end of the shooting the pit was filled in by requisitioned villagers. The bodies were exhumed and reburied several years later. Most probably their remains were transferred to the Strointsi cemetery where a monument was erected in their memory. 3 to 4 days after the shooting, the remaining Jews were brought to the Dniester river and killed there (either by drowning or shooting). A some Jews from Boyany were relocated to the camp in Bershad where they stayed until liberation or to the camps in Transnistria where they most likely were executed or died from hunger.

Double Dragon: Neon: Nostalgia is WayForward's fuel
PS3 / Reviews / Xbox 360 / by Andrew Passafiume /
When you think about what made the Double Dragon series great, it's hard to come up with anything that would really work by today's standards. With rare exceptions, beat-'em-ups don't really have much of a place in gaming today simply due to the nature of the genre's mechanics. They are a relic from a much different time in gaming history, and because of that, new games in the genre almost never succeed. WayForward, a developer with experience in the ways of bringing back old franchises, presents us with Double Dragon: Neon, a game that attempts to revive a once-beloved series with mixed results.
Let's get one thing clear right away: Double Dragon: Neon is not going to revolutionize or innovate. It's not attempting to do anything that new and it's not going to win anyone over who was never a big fan of the franchise or the genre to begin with. That being said, it never needed to. Neon exists simply to bring back the Double Dragon name in a cartoony, '80s satire kind of way. In a lot of respects, it does that well; it's a convincingly '80s game, complete with a soundtrack that represents (and extensively mocks) the time period perfectly. But in others, like the visuals, it feels like a huge misstep. This is an ugly looking game that would have benefited greatly from WayForward's brilliant, stylistic 2D art you typically see from them with games of this nature.
The game plays exactly how you would expect; it's complete with basic attacks, super moves, a decent variety of breakable weapons and waves of the enemies you would expect to see in a Double Dragon game. You also have a run button, which allows you to perform running attacks, and a crouch, which lets you duck and perform other specific moves; you can chain the two together, silly as it sounds, to create some interesting combos. It never feels entirely satisfying or necessary to use anything beyond basic attacks or super moves, though.
There are also mix tapes that enemies drop that unlock different special attacks and stat increases. These carry over from playthrough to playthrough to help on the higher difficulties. They are upgradable as well, allowing for some decent customization. While customizing what super attack you wish to use is nice, none of these features felt particularly useful nor did they add too much new to a very basic formula. If you plan on playing the hardest difficulty, you might find yourself relying on this system, but it would require more grinding than you might expect from a game of this nature. Double Dragon is still Double Dragon, no matter how much customization you attempt to throw at it.
The worst part about Neon is how it controls. It can be hard to have a handle on performing certain moves as it never quite feels as smooth as it should. Your attacks and movement all feel sluggish and the hit detection is sometimes spotty, making it very easy to miss performing specific attacks or super moves. Even if you feel you are adjusting to it, there will always some environmental hazard that will find a way to screw you over without you even realizing it until it's too late. It all feels very clunky and is never close to as precise as you need it to be, removing any and all satisfaction from the combat.
It's clear the game is designed to be played cooperatively, as many of the bosses and enemy encounters are crafted in a way best tackled by two. Some areas are made for enemy-juggling, in one case literally with a two-loose-floorboard setup. It's also much easier to get through tough spots together, not only because of double the firepower, but also due to the revival mechanic. You have a few seconds to bring back a friend before a life is lost, and making sure to stay on opposite ends of the health bar can smooth the ride through the campaign.
There's a high-five mechanic in the game, letting players use the right stick to activate certain effects. Holding certain directions lets you split your life bars evenly (a mechanic that ends up being best not used with the revival scheme), activate a short boost mode or even mess with your friend and fake them out. In practice, it's not used that much, and you stick to pounding with basic attacks until your special meter fills up again.
Even if there is some fun to be had playing co-op (and the lack of online co-op at launch is a disappointment), Double Dragon: Neon is a shallow, sluggish beat-'em-up. Nostalgia alone isn't enough to make a game good, or even memorable.
Managing Editor Graham Russell contributed to this review.
Pros: Great soundtrack, co-op works nicely
Cons: Ugly visuals, wonky controls and hit detection, no online co-op (yet)
Score: 3/5

Symmetry has always played an important role in mechanics, from fundamental formulations of basic principles to concrete applications. The theme of the book is to develop the basic theory and applications of mechanics with an emphasis on the role of symmetry. In recent times, the interest in mechanics, and in symmetry techniques in particular, has accelerated because of developments in dynamical systems, the use of geometric methods and new applications to integrable and chaotic systems, control systems, stability and bifurcation, and the study of specific rigid, fluid, plasma and elastic systems. Introduction to Mechanics and Symmetry lays the basic foundation for these topics and includes numerous specific applications, making it beneficial to physicists and engineers. This text has specific examples and applications showing how the theory works, and up-to-date techniques, all of which makes it accessible to a wide variety of readers, expecially senior undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, physics and engineering. For this second edition, the text has been rewritten and updated for clarity throughout, with a major revamping and expansion of the exercises. Internet supplements containing additional material are also available on-line

The Glowstone Series
Tyler Wright
Today, I wanted to give the spotlight to our Glowstone Series. My name is Tyler and I have known Patrick Adair for 6 years now. I watched his first iteration of glow ring designs and I own one of his first rings he's ever made. I have recently joined the Patrick Adair Designs Team after seeing the impact they are making on the entire jewelry industry. The Glowstone Series is what made has made such an impact, taking Patrick from being a small unknown name in his garage, to a celebrated direct to consumer jewelry designer.
When he first started, he specialized primarily in carbon fiber. Soon Patrick started experimenting and incorporating different designs. One of the first, was a carbon fiber ring that he carefully created a channel in and inlaid with glow powder, CA glue and bits of real meteorite. I have one. I had owned other carbon fiber glow rings up to that point, but what blew me away was the intensity at which his ring glowed. It was so bright. I had to take it off at night because the light would often keep me awake.
Slowly but surely, Patrick designed more and more variations of this channel inlay ring. I talked to him about it recently and asked him what his inspiration was. Why he didn't just cast a glow stripe into the channel or put it on the inside like so many others. Patrick told me, "I wanted to make it look real." He then explained how the inspiration behind Patrick Adair Designs was to be "real and unapologetically authentic." Suddenly his Glowstone creations stuck. The concept hit me hard. I got it.
When Patrick puts out a design, he puts out something he would personally wear, but more over, he wants it to be different, unique and authentic. He doesn't mask flaws. He doesn't plate brass or silver to make a cheap gold ring. He wants the materials, the production process, and the result to speak for themselves. In jewelry, he said, it's interesting how so few designers, retailers, and makers do anything new or different.
The glowstone series might very well be one of the most industry changing designs out there. It led to the growth and rise of Patrick Adair Designs, which as led to countless more designs and even more designs to come. (subscribe to his YouTube Channel to see the new stuff we design) He didn't just stop at one glowstone design, he incorporated all sorts of materials, all sorts of stones, and nearly an infinite amount of options. In fact, you can even custom order your own and we'll make it just for you.
From a humble garage in the cold Utah winters to a full blown jewelry company shipping tens of thousands of rings, it's safe to say, the glowstone design has been the primary driving design behind Patrick's success.

Learn CBD 101
CBD oil is a natural oil which is extracted from the flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant (formally known as hemp plant). It is used by people all over the world for a variety of purposes. Because of the positive experiences with the healing powers of the plant, CBD has been finding its way into a variety of products, from tinctures and drops to CBD-infused edibles and CBD balms, as well as a wide range of cosmetics. CBD oil is even becoming popular among pet owners who wish to help their pets live healthier lives.
Raw CBD Oil vs. CBD Concentrate
When the essential oils of the hemp plant are first extracted, the resulting product is considered raw hemp extract. This raw extract can be put through a series of filtration and distillation processes to remove unwanted compounds, such as waxes and chlorophyll, and produce various classes of oils differing in purity and CBD content. These refined oils are referred to as CBD concentrate or CBD distillate.
Raw PCR hemp extract contains terpenes (aromatic compounds) as well as other cannabinoid compounds similar to CBD. Because it retains the natural balance of cannabinoids and terpenes found in the original plant, we refer to these products as full spectrum oils.
Broad Spectrum CBD Oil
Broad spectrum CBD oil is very similar to a full spectrum oil. Full spectrum CBD oil, as we mentioned, retains the original concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes found in raw PCR hemp extract. Broad spectrum CBD oil also contains these concentrations of beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes but has all trace amounts of THC extracted. This is ideal to ensure there is no THC in the CBD products.
CBD can also be isolated and purified. Pure CBD is known in the industry as CBD isolate. In their pure form, and at room temperature, cannabinoids are solid crystals. Purified cannabinoids are colorless and odorless. CBD isolate can be consumed directly or used as an additive in other preparations such as edibles and beverages; however, it is devoid of the beneficial terpenes and other cannabinoids found naturally in the plant.
CBD-Rich Oil/Phyto cannabinoid-Rich (PCR)
Another term you may hear is CBD-rich oil. This term is generally used to label a CBD oil which has gone through some initial filtration and distillation steps to remove unwanted compounds such as chlorophyll and waxes. The resulting product has a higher concentration of CBD than the raw extract, hence the term CBD-rich oil.
CBD-Infused Oil
The term CBD-infused can be used to describe either a product which has been infused with purified CBD isolate or a product which has been infused with a CBD-rich, full spectrum or broad spectrum concentrate. A properly labeled product will specify which ingredients were used. If the ingredients include "CBD isolate," then the product is not full spectrum. If the ingredients include "CBD-rich hemp oil (or extract)" or "full/broad spectrum CBD oil," then obviously you're getting a full/broad spectrum product. It's important to know which is in a product because they produce different effects.
To summarize, there are a variety of products which contain varying levels of CBD as well as other cannabinoids and terpenes.
Hemp seed oil — Oil produced from hemp seeds, does not contain CBD.
Raw industrial hemp extract — A low-quality source of CBD oil.
Raw PCR hemp extract — A high-quality, full or broad-spectrum product which is rich in CBD and contains the naturally occurring compounds in hemp, including cannabinoids and terpenes.
CBD concentrate or distillate — A full spectrum or broad-spectrum product from which unwanted compounds have been removed.
CBD isolate — Purified CBD that does not contain other beneficial terpenes and cannabinoids.
CBD-rich oil/Phytocannabinoid-rich (PCR) — Either full spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD concentrate or oil infused with CBD concentrate.
Broad spectrum oil — An oil rich in CBD and the beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes present in hemp EXCEPT for THC.
CBD-infused — Generally refers to a product infused with pure CBD, but is also used sometimes to refer to a full spectrum product.

European Territorial Cooperation and Culture
By Universidade do Minho, Núcleo de Investigação em Políticas Económicas - NIPE, 2014
The purpose of this study is to analyse the relationship between European Territorial Cooperation and Culture. A strategic component is added to the analysis component, seeking to identify funding opportunities for culture in Portugal within the scope of ETC programmes. This study's main objectives are to: i) briefly analyse the history of cohesion policy and of the ETC, particularly in Portugal; ii) review the literature on the delimitation of the cultural and creative sectors and on the role of culture in cohesion policy and in the ETC; iii) analyse the ETC programmes in the last two programming periods, emphasizing the position of Portuguese entities and the weight of cultural or culture related projects; iv) to analyse the experience of Portuguese entities in ETC programmes and their view on how they work; v) to obtain the perspective of project coordinators and programme managers on these matters; vi) to analyse the orientations and priorities of cohesion policy in general and of the ETC programmes, in particular, in the next programming period; vii) to elaborate proposals of entry-points for cultural initiatives in ETC programmes; viii) to analyse the ETC's current situation and perspectives using a SWOT analysis; and, ix) to present a set of policy recommendations to improve the Portuguese cultural sector's approach to these programmes.

Investing in Cultural Diversity and Intercultural Dialogue
By UNESCO, 2009
This UNESCO World Report seeks to show that acknowledging cultural diversity helps to renew the international community's strategies in a series of areas so as to further its ambitious objectives, with the support and involvement of local populations. For culture is not simply another sector of activity, a mass consumption product or an asset to be preserved. Culture is the very substratum of all human activities, which derive their meaning and value from it. This is why the recognition of cultural diversity can help to ensure that ownership of development and peace initiatives is vested in the populations concerned.

Cultural Change Processes in Mergers: A social constructionist perspective
By Martine Cardel Gertsen, Anne-Marie Soederberg and Eero Vaara, 2000
There have been a number of attempts to explain post-merger problems by cultural differences, and in this paper, we argue that much previous research on mergers is based on an essentialist concept of culture. We claim that this conception is a problematic starting point for cultural studies, and argue for a social constructionist alternative. The conceptual challenges we address are: decontextualization of cultural issues, cultural differentiation and fragmentation, and structural versus processual views on culture. We also outline an agenda for future merger research and argue for studies focusing on cultural sensemaking processes in merging organizations by adopting narrative perspectives.

Promotion of Cultural Tourism through Cooperation in the Cross-Border Area
By Rădulescu Corina Michaela and Pop Izabela Luiza, 2017
The uniqueness and richness of culture and heritage in the cross-border area: Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine (HU-SK-RO-UA) creates the opportunity for developing cultural tourism through innovative tourism and integrated tourism products, with the result of promoting tourism, generally in Europe and especially in Trans-Carpatic Region. For this purpose, new projects initiated can achieve better cooperation and coordination between the relevant stakeholders in the tourism sector, as well as to develop and implement joint tourism strategies. The paper presents a project proposal on promoting the culture and heritage in HU-SK-RO-UA area, through tourism function. The main activities designed in the project lead to joint cross-border tourism management in order to increase the attractiveness of cultural sites and joint cross-border touristic offer, by strengthening joint new touristic products and organizing joint cultural events.

Can the Dow hit 20,000 this week, and then what?
Last Friday the Dow Industrials (US 30) got to within less than one point of the magic 20,000 level but failed to get through. The bigger question now, however, is having come so far so fast already, can the Dow go much farther from here as the post-election rally ends and earnings season approaches.
The Dow staged a huge rally up off its election night low near 17,500 soaring initially toward 19,200 then up into the 19,700 to 20,000 zone. Over the last month, multiple attempts to breach 20,000 have failed indicating strong resistance emerging there.
It's unclear if this is a top forming or a pause within an ongoing uptrend. The RSI indicates the index had become extremely overbought and with upward momentum slowing a significant correction looks possible. On the other hand, higher lows are forming an ascending triangle which indicates continued accumulation.
On a breakout from the current rang, initial measured resistance may appear near 20,160 then 20,300. On a breakdown, next support may appear near 19,615 then 19,485 and 19,405 a 23% retracement of the recent uptrend.
Although it's a lighter week for economic news, there are a number of factors that could impact trading in US indices this week.
Now that we are past the end of the year, the huge rush to get capital into the market before the end of 2016 has faded. A loss of urgency among bulls and the achievement of a big technical objective could encourage some profit-taking among short-term players.
Earnings season starts next week so this week we could see companies issue profit warnings as part of so-called "confession season". Because so much hype and anticipation has been built into shares lately, any disappointment could really rip the rug out from under individual stocks and sectors. For example, a profit warning from Macy's last week sent its shares down 14% and dragged on other retailers (US retail sales on Friday may also impact retailers).
At this point markets have priced the Trump Presidency to perfection but it's still unknown what will be a priority, what he can actually get done in a reasonable amount of time. Any bumps in the road or hiccups could impact stocks and there is also the possibility of profit taking heading toward his inauguration when the rubber hits the road.
Speaking of which, this could be an active week for the auto sector around the Detroit Auto Show. Usually, its new models and innovations that dominate the headlines. This, year, however, production locations and politics may also generate a lot of interest. Since the election of Donald Trump, some automakers like Ford have changed their minds about moving production to Mexico while others like Toyota may dig in their heels. Driverless cars, increased competition in alternative energy vehicles (affecting companies like Tesla Motors, Ballard Power and others) and the automation of production may also be topics of interest.
Finally, keep an eye on guidance for indications of whether the benefits of a stronger US economy are being outweighed by the costs of the higher US Dollar on exports and USD earnings of overseas operations. Corporate earnings remain the key to index trends and it's still possible the negatives of the higher Dollar could arrive long before the positive benefits of policy/regulation changes or infrastructure spending.


diglloyd blog: Which is faster for RAW File Conversion, CPU or GPU?
Which is faster for RAW File Conversion, CPU or GPU?
A few months ago, I wrote The GPU remains a Science Fair Project. While I freely acknowledge that the GPU can be essential for some work (hugely faster), the fact of the matter is that using the GPU is not necessarily a win, and GPU-based processing can cause all sorts of glitches and crashes and weird behaviors*. I suspect the GPU is involved in the latest weird behavior I am seeing.
* That the GPU is problematic is a fact encoded right into the mouse-over help in the Photoshop GPU preferences: "if such and such happens, disable this option".
In the past month or so, I've spent a lot of time preparing work from the raw files for the Hasselblad X1D (uncompressed raw) and the Fujifilm GFX (compressed lossless raw).
The Fujifilm compressed lossless raw files offer huge space savings of 30% to 60% so I favor them, but GFX raw files are glacially and painfully slow in the Photoshop/ACR window even on the fastest Mac you can't even buy from Apple (3.3 GHz 8-core 2013 Mac Pro with D700 GPUs). So slow that my work efficiency is seriously impaired—the X1D files are a joy to work with by comparison, albeit about double the size (both cameras have identical image resolution).
There is a false premise out there that a fast GPU solves most performance problems. But this is untrue in a significant number of real-world cases. Anyway, what matters is what actually happens in the real world, for the work one actually does.
I wondered how fast CPU vs GPU would be on my 3.3 GHz 8-core 2013 Mac Pro. This test was prompted by the painfully slow response time in the Photoshop/ACR window. That the time (below) is only 1.34 seconds per file is impressive, but it is far slower than that due to poor software design (and bugs) in the Photoshop/ACR window—and that window is my gating factor for getting work done (previewing, choosing, changing processing settings, etc).
While the GPU-enabled results are slightly and consistently faster, the processing time difference is 2% or less, which is meaningless within the margin of error and meaningless in a workflow. The CPU-based approach is just as fast as the fastest *dual* GPU option Apple offers* (D700 GPUs). A 4-core or 6-core Mac Pro or 4-core iMac might be a bit slower, but the D700 GPUs are the fastest GPUs Apple offers and yet they have nothing to offer in this workflow challenge. Worse, most users do not order the D700 GPUs (fastest) but instead have the slower D300 or D500 GPUs.
Curiously, the Hasselblad X1D files take significantly longer to process, whereas in the Photoshop ACR window, they are much more responsive to work with.
* I don't know if Photoshop uses both GPUs or not.
System config: 2013 Mac Pro 8-core 3.3 GHz with D700 GPUs, macOS 10.12.4, Photoshop CC 2017.0308.r.207.
For ACR specifically, I don't think export operations are accelerated though I'm not 100% sure. I think only some editing options in ACR are accelerated. I think your nearly identical results might support this.
DIGLOYD: both points make makes sense since little difference is seen. If anything, it argues strongly to a point I've made for years about assessing one's own specific workflow for whether paying for a faster GPU is worthwhile. The GPU of course may be helpful in Photoshop and Lightroom in other areas, so it all gets down to what one's actual workflow involves.

Corporations are making billions off of pink ribbon products each year.
Too many pink ribbon promotions benefit corporations' bottom lines far more than they help women living with and at risk of breast cancer. This is one reason we call October Breast Cancer Industry Month. And it's why we developed our Critical Questions for Conscious Consumers, to give people who care about breast cancer the tools to figure out where the money from pink ribbon purchases really goes.
Download our wallet cards, so you have these Critical Questions at your fingertips this October and beyond.
Our wallet cards make it easy to figure out if a pink ribbon product is exploiting concern about breast cancer for corporate profit. It's not enough for companies to slap pink ribbons on their products and assure us they care about breast cancer.
Download your Critical Questions wallet cards now. And tell your friends to get theirs so they're ready for the onslaught of Pinktober.

Vampyr Release Postponed to Q1/Q2 2018 for PS4, Xbox One and PC
Dejan KacurovSeptember 21, 2017Last Updated: September 21, 2017
Vampyr is an action RPG video game, developed by Dontnod Entertainment. The game was set to release at the end of 2017 for PS4, Xbox One and PC, but unfortunately, the developers have decided to delay the release to Q1/Q2 2018.
Vampyr was set to release this year, but due to a technical issue, the game is now set to release on PS4, Xbox One and PC in spring 2018.
Oskar Guilbert, Dontnod's boss has shared his thoughts on this matter, saying:
"Delaying the release of a project you hold dear is always a tough decision. However, we believe that meeting a deadline should never compromise quality. We were still convinced just a few weeks ago that we would be able to release Vampyr this year. Unfortunately, a technical issue – now solved – has set our teams' schedule back at the end of the development."
"This delay allows us enough time for all the polishing and balancing phase, much needed for a game of Vampyr's scope, with its ambitious, semi-open world, its complex narrative and deep RPG mechanics that give players a real impact on the world."
"We want to thank our publisher Focus Home Interactive for giving us the means and time necessary to provide players a memorable experience… especially since so many of you are eagerly waiting for it."
Those who pre-order the game will gain access to bonus DLC called "The Hunters Heirlooms", which contains an exclusive sword, pistol and equipment.

Paul François Marie (Paul) Goethals S.J. (Kortrijk, 11 november 1832 - Calcutta, 4 juli 1901) was een Belgisch jezuïet, missionaris en aartsbisschop van Calcutta.

Levensloop
Paul Goethals behoorde tot de Kortrijkse familie Goethals en was een zoon van Ferdinand Goethals-Bisschoff, lid van het Nationaal Congres in 1830-31.

Hij deed zijn middelbare studies in het Collège Saint-Servais in Luik, bestuurd door de jezuïeten.

In 1852 trad hij binnen in de jezuïetenorde. In 1866 droeg hij zijn eremis op in Kortrijk, bij de begrafenis van zijn moeder. Hij sprak zijn definitieve geloften uit op 2 februari 1870.

Loopbaan bij de jezuïeten
Zijn loopbaan verliep als volgt:
 1867-1868: prefekt en minister van het Sint-Michielscollege in Brussel
 1868-1869: rector van het Sint-Michielscollege in Brussel
 1869-1870: socius van de provinciaal van de Belgische provincie
 1870-1876: provinciaal van de Belgische provincie
 1876-1877: rector van het Collège Notre-Dame de la Paix in Namen

Als provinciaal overste van de Belgische jezuïeten kwam Goethals in conflict met aartsbisschop mgr. Victor Dechamps over het bestuur van een nieuwe school.

In Indië
 1878-1886: apostolische vicaris in West Bengalen en aartsbisschop van Hierapolis. Hij werd op 24 februari 1878 in Kortrijk gewijd door bisschop Johan Joseph Faict. Op 6 oktober 1878 scheepte hij in en op 4 november werd hij in Calcutta plechtig ingehaald.
 1886-1901: Na het herstel van de katholieke hiërarchie in Indië werd mgr. Paul Goethals de eerste aartsbisschop van Calcutta. Onder zijn bestuur kwam de Vlaamse jezuïet Constant Lievens naar Ranchi en stichtte er een bloeiende missie.
 1904: opening van het Goethals Memorial Orphanage, in herinnering aan de aartsbisschop

Mgr. Goethals stichtte een theologisch college in Kurseong waar autochtone seminaristen werden opgeleid. En hij stond mee de wieg van de oprichting van een klooster van de congregatie van de Dochters van Sint-Anna in Chota Nagpur. Mgr. Goethals bezat in zijn aartsbisschoppelijk paleis een bibliotheek gewijd aan de geschiedenis en de etnologie van Indië. Deze Goethals Indian Library met 6000 boeken is nu ondergebracht in de universiteit van Calcutta. Mgr. Goethals was vicevoorzitter van de Asiatic Society of Bengal (de viceroy was er voorzitter van) en lid van de Horticultural Society.

The first time I heard jazz vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson play was with pianist Herbie Hancock and bassist Ron Carter performing Bouquet. It was on a Netflix DVD, One Night With Blue Note: The Historic All-Star Reunion Concert, recorded live for Blue Note's 50th anniversary at New York's Town Hall on February 22, 1985. When the historic Blue Note record label was revived in 1985, this all-star concert was held bringing together their legendary roster of musicians, a who's who of jazz.
The concert was great! It opens with Herbie Hancock performing his popular tune Canteloupe Island featuring Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Joe Henderson on sax, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums. But I bought the DVD primarily for Bobby's beautiful ballad Bouquet.
Now, years later, I searched the internet and found the concert, as well as just the performance of Bobby Hutcherson's Bouquet with Ron Carter and Herbie Hancock. The YouTube video includes the short introduction from the DVD. This excerpt on Dailymotion doesn't, but the quality is better. The audience was so moved they applauded before the piece was actually finished, but the musicians quietly played on to the end.
You can hear Bouquet on Hutcherson's album Happenings in the Remastered 2006/Rudy Van Gelder Edition. This slightly mellower version includes Herbie Hancock on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and the smooth brush work of Joe Chambers on drums. It's about a minute longer than the concert version and has a rich clear tone.
The three hours of brilliant performances were distilled down to the two-hour DVD, One Night With Blue Note All-Star Reunion Concert. You can see it here, or in this larger format. It's also available in better quality on Dailymotion divided into two one-hour sections: Part 1 and Part 2.
I've posted other favorite beautiful musical selections across genres on my blog, like this harp music performed in nature; Canadian harpist Kristan Toczko performing Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune; a kind of musical onomatopoeia in Bill Evans's Peace Piece; the hauntingly beautiful Celtic music of Davy Spillane on uilleann pipes and low whistle; and the angelic voice of Eva Cassidy, who interpreted and delivered popular songs in her own inimitable way, with purity, passion and power.


Chronic fatigue syndrome, (CFS), or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), is a chronic and debilitating disorder known for symptoms of chronic exhaustion that does not improve when you by resting or sleeping and is often worsened by even slight mental or physical activity. Sufferers often also experience poor concentration, short term memory problems, joint pain aching muscles and poor sleep patterns. The cause or causes of CFS are not currently known and there are no identifying tests available at this time. There is evidence that CFS affects all racial and ethnic groups and both sexes. Adolescents can have CFS, but few studies of adolescents have been published.
CFS is not a contagious disease. Studies designed specifically to test this theory have all proven that CFS cannot be passed from person to person. CFS has none of the typical characteristics associated with contagious diseases, nor does it show up in environmental cluster areas as contagious diseases tend to, as in the case of an epidemic. Little is known at this time about the complex causes of CFS.
Some patients are fortunate and manage to recover enough to go back to work and resume a normal life. Some patients, however, grow increasingly worse. Sufferers often have to endure cycles of pain and relief, with each cycle of pain becoming worse than the previous one. The range of symptoms include; severe fatigue lasting more than six months, insomnia, swollen lymph nodes, mild fever, muscle aches and pains, depression, memory loss, recurring flu-like symptoms.
Pharmacological treatments are aims at alleviating the symptoms of CFS and include medications that can help with sleeping disorders, joint pain and memory and concentration. Sedatives may also be used in some cases though any medications used to treat CFS may also worsen some of the symptoms due to side effects, so natural supplements may be a better option for many patients.
Exercise is very important, though a moderate program that does not lead to exhaustion is the best way to lessen symptoms and maximize energy. The amount of exercise will vary with the individual, so each person must find the amount of exercise that helps, rather than worsens, the situation. Stress should be avoided. It tends to exacerbate symptoms.
There are also nutritional supplements, which may help to relieve some of the symptoms. The nutritional supplements Potassium-magnesium aspartate, magnesium carnitite may be of help at relieving some of the symptoms.
Herbs that may help include, Golden Seal (though this should not be taken for more than six consecutive weeks and then with a six-month break between uses), Echinacea and garlic will help to boost your immune system. Valerian and Kava kava will help with insomnia. Ginseng and nettle can help you to build up energy and stimulate the metabolism. Alfalfa or wheat grass supplements can also supply many minerals and essential nutrients to help energize the body and boost the immune system.


Want a simple and fast way to edit your images? Seashore is the way to go. Sure, Picasa might be available and even Photoshop but what's great about Seashore is that it is lightweight and gives you the very basics. No need to figure out which button is for which since it makes sure that everything is straightforward. It gives you what you need right there.
Seashore provides all the essentials you need for basic image editing. It's even dubbed as the "Paint" version for Mac. It's definitely the software to have if what you need doesn't require heavy or specialized editing since the program provides plenty of features that anybody can make use of.
The program features a wonderful and simple interface. It looks a lot like Google Sketch Up with large buttons at the top portion that are easy to find. Unlike Photoshop or other programs, there aren't too many tools to choose from. This actually works as an advantage for people who prefer to simply have one window to work with and prefers the clean/uncluttered look of an interface.
The layer palette for Seashore works much the same way as the other programs. It's possible to add or delete various layers you've already done. Simply point to the left hand corner panel for the layers option. Another nice thing is that you get blending modes in here as well. The brush tools, however, are pretty standard and consists of what you might find in any image editor.
One thing is for sure though, the application is not meant for a professional designer or anybody that pretty much makes a living out of image editing. However, despite its simplicity, Seashore is a fun application to have. It provides everything that regular users might need minus the huge chunk of hard drive space and the confusing buttons.

Ма́рион () — город в округе Линн, штат Айова, США. Расположен рядом с Сидар-Рапидс. Население в 2010 году составляло 34768 человек.

История
Город назван в честь Фрэнсиса Мэриона, героя Войны за независимость США. Это место было выбрано в 1839 году в качестве первого административного центра недавно образованного округа Линн. После многих лет дебатов по поводу переноса административного центра в Сидар-Рапидс, в 1919 году было проведено голосование, на котором 9 960 человек проголосовали за перенос и 4823 — против.

Каждый год в городе проводится «Фестиваль болотных лисиц», названный в честь «болотного лиса» — прозвища Фрэнсиса Мариона во время Войны за независимость.

В городе находилась семинария Св. Берхмана, основанная в 1905 году сёстрами милосердия как школа-интернат для мальчиков. Академия, закрытая в 1942 году, состояла из пяти зданий, расположенных на 23 акрах. Одним из самых известных жителей был Дон Амичи — актёр известного фильма «Кокон», который жил в этом учреждении в юношестве. Сегодня осталось только главное здание, в нём сейчас расположены квартиры.

В ноябре 2019 года мэр Ник Абу-Ассали выиграл второй срок у Мэри Лу Пазур, набрав 70 процентов голосов.

Экономика
В 1984 году была основана корпорация экономического развития Марион — государственно-частное партнёрство для поддержки бизнеса и экономического развития города.

The al-Sabah Collection contains almost two thousand items of metalwork ranging from elaborately worked vessels inlaid with precious metals to simply cast bronze finials in the form of animals. Islamic metalworkers, whether in Cairo or Herat, often fashioned relatively simple forms covered the surface in dazzling engraved or precious metal-inlaid patterns of arabesque interlace, processions of animals or long benedictory inscriptions. Objects with calligraphy as decoration occur more frequently in metalwork than any other medium used for objects of utility. These range from benedictory inscriptions to verses from the Qur'an to lines of poetry, and sometimes include the signatures of the artists.
The ancient Near East has a long history of working in copper alloy and bronzes and brasses (copper alloyed with other metals) became the most important material in the mediaeval period. Objects are almost invariably sculpturally powerful, and examples of everyday objects such as oil lamps or incense burners became works of art. Brass was especially popular in the Mamluk domains. In the later period, especially in Iran and India, steel was used for decorative purposes; despite its hardness, it could be cut in openwork patterns, such as arabesques and calligraphic compositions as delicate as lace.

Q: tkinter: Set option command for Entry after declared it I need to declare the option command for an entry after declare it, here's my code:
import tkinter as tk
import sys
from utils import *
import re

def main():
    #create window
    window=tk.Tk()

    #set window size, window title and window icon
    window.geometry("600x600")
    window.title("Calculator")
    window.iconphoto(False, tk.PhotoImage(file="icon.png"))

    #set title
    title = tk.Label(window, text="Calculator", font=("Ubuntu", 25), anchor=tk.CENTER,  pady=10)
    title.pack()

    #set input box
    entry = tk.Entry(window)
    entry["command"] = lambda: checkEntry(entry) # issues start here
    entry.pack()

    #show window
    window.mainloop()

def checkEntry(entry: tk.Entry):
    char = entry.get()[-1]
    allowed = ["(", ")", "+", "*", ",", "-", "/"]
    regex = re.match("[0-9]", char)

    if regex is None and char not in allowed:
        text = entry.get()
        entry.insert(0, text[:-1])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Here's the full error I got:
/usr/bin/python3.9 /home/ubuntu/programmi/calculator-gui/calculator.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ubuntu/programmi/calculator-gui/calculator.py", line 30, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/ubuntu/programmi/calculator-gui/calculator.py", line 20, in main
    entry["command"] = lambda: checkEntry(entry)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1657, in __setitem__
    self.configure({key: value})
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1646, in configure
    return self._configure('configure', cnf, kw)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1636, in _configure
    self.tk.call(_flatten((self._w, cmd)) + self._options(cnf))
_tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-command"

Process finished with exit code 1

Is there another way to pass the command option after declared it? Because I need to pass the entry in the function parameter set in the command

A: I have written a working solution. You should use the validatecommand, you can find the detailed documentation of it: https://anzeljg.github.io/rin2/book2/2405/docs/tkinter/entry-validation.html
I have written many comments in the code for the better understanding and why I did the things.
Complete code:
import tkinter as tk

def main():
    # create window
    window = tk.Tk()

    # set window size, window title and window icon
    window.geometry("600x600")
    window.title("Calculator")

    # set title
    title = tk.Label(window, text="Calculator", font=("Ubuntu", 25), anchor=tk.CENTER, pady=10)
    title.pack()

    # set input box
    entry = tk.Entry(window, validate="key")
    entry['validatecommand'] = (entry.register(checkEntry), '%P')
    entry.pack()
    # show window

    window.mainloop()

def checkEntry(val):
    # This if is needed when you remove the complete Entry content.
    if not val:
        return True
    allowed = ["(", ")", "+", "*", ",", "-", "/"]

    # We want to check only the last character of Entry.
    last_char = val[-1]

    # You can use the "isdigit()" to check if character is number instead of RegEx.
    if not last_char.isdigit() and last_char not in allowed:
        # The value is not allowed if it's not number or not a character in list.
        print("Not allowed character: {}".format(last_char))
        return False
    return True

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Output:
>>> python3 test.py
Not allowed character: =
Not allowed character: d
Not allowed character: f
Not allowed character: a
Not allowed character: a

Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (1967)
As a departure from my usual Disney-related posts, here is a bit about my "guilty pleasure," the French musical film by director Jacques Demy, "Les Demoiselles de Rochefort," in English "The Young Girls of Rochefort," released March 8, 1967. The first DVD I ever bought in the late 90s, in Annecy, France, was just this film. Recently I also got the Blu-Ray, and now having just received the 5-CD box set with Michel Legrands great music that came out last year, I revisited the movie and had a look at, where in Rochefort the film was shot.
With the help of Google Maps, here is an overview of the locations:
The film begins and ends around the strange (and defunct) bridge Le Pont Transbordeur, south of the city, but most of the action happens around Place Colbert, the center of the old town, with the office of the town's mayor used as the home of the twins, played by the Dorléac sisters, Françoise and Catherine, the latter using as stage name her mother's maiden name of Deneuve. In the town square we find the coffee shop of Yvonne Garnier (Dannielle Darrieux), with server Josette (Geneviève Thénier), frequented by Maxence (Jacques Perrin) and carnies Etienne (George Chakiris) and Bill (Grover Dale), who visit the town to sell boats and motor bikes. The dancing troupe (from England, many seen in Summer Holiday and Half a Sixpence, and choreographed by Norman Maen) is basically everywhere, and when we are in the square - they are there, as well. But not everything happens in the town square.
Delphine Garnier, the dancing twin, sporting a large blonde wig (played by Catherine Deneuve - the twin, not the wig) visits her "friend," gallery owner Guillaume Lancien (Jacques Riberolles).
S-W corner of Avenue la Fayette and Rue Thiers.
Solange Garnier, the musician (Françoise Dorléac wearing the red wig) visits monsieur Simon Dame (played by Michel Piccoli) who is the owner of a store with musical instruments.
S-E corner of Rue Jean Jaurès and Avenue Charles de Gaulle.
Spoiler alert: Subtil Dutrouz (played by venerable actor Henri Crémieux) turns out to be the one who is the "ignoble sadist" who has cut the old lady into 15 pieces and put her in a basket. We see nothing of this except a crowd around the basket.
Maxence meets Solange here, but he only likes blondes.
N-E corner of Rue du Port and Rue de la République (which had a different name in the 60s, it seems). Maxence and Solange afterwards walk along Rue du Port with the dancing troupe behind them as if it's the most natural thing in the world.
Yvonne Garnier's son Boubou (Patrick Jeantet) has to be fetched from school several times in the film. Yvonne tells Etienne and Bill it is "not to steps behind the square" but it's still a 9 minute walk.
Boubou is quite naughty. No wonder there are bars in the windows!
The N-E end of Rue Chanzy. This was the Maritime Arsenal (hence the bars in front of the windows), and it seems it is being restored. However, the building on the left of the doorway the kids come out of was completely removed, which is clearly visible in the next images!
Finally, just around the corner from the school, piano virtuoso Andy Miller (Gene Kelly) meets Solange, and afterwards does a little tap dance (with two of the English dancers dressed as sailors). Strangely, his taps were dubbed by some drummer who seems to not have been very interested in hitting the action on the screen. If you want to hear the live sound, however, six seconds (which is most of it) are in the trailer for the film! Also, the English version of the song (mostly sung by Gene!) on the CD set has all the taps, but these do not correctly follow the music if you that sync that to the picture! Sigh...
We are in Rue Bazeilles looking towards Rue Chanzy.
It seems the last 50 years have not been too kind to these areas in this interesting city. The film itself is such a curious, colorful fun piece of fluff. It has Gene Kelly! George Chakiris! If you don't know it, and your French is pretty good, have a look at it some day!
The Criterion Blu-Ray does have English subtitles, but only on the feature film. Sadly, the 25-year old documentary by (Jacques Demy's wife and filmmaker) Agnes Varda is not subtitled. However, the film was originally shot in two versions! Yes, EVERY shot of song or dialog was shot in French and English! The English version songs fill the whole CD number 3 in the box set! (Amazon US: here!) But when Warner was to release the English version they deemed it too "European" and shelved it! Only few scenes are known, some in the documentary and these on YouTube.
So - do you know anyone good at diving into film vaults?
(By the way, don't ask me why my Google Maps shows streetnames in Cyrillic letters, I do not know!)

Finland: Former Iraqi soldier who cut off dead ISIS terrorist's head sentenced in Finnish district court, "It's normal back home"…….
The former Iraqi army signalman admitted to the deed on the frontline but denied it was a war crime.
According to the Ex-soldier, cutting off the enemy 's head is a common way in his home country and an indication of heroism.
The accused said he had acted in the spirit of the moment. Terrorists had cut off the heads of his comrades.
The Helsinki District Court disagreed with the nature of the act.
On Thursday, the District Court of Helsinki sentenced a 41 – year-old Iraqi man to one and a half years in prison.The punishment is conditional because the man has not previously been convicted of a crime.
The war crime was committed in the city of Karma in Iraq at the beginning of March 2015.
Iraq's army was fighting against Isis – the terrorist organization. The army was victorious. Isis fighters were killed.
Before the victory, however, Isis had taken four Iraqi army soldiers into prison.Isis executed their prisoners by cutting their heads.
The signal corps corporal who served in the army for a long time and ended up in Finland happened to see endless bodies.
After the battle, the corporal ended up coming across the ISIS man's body.He cut off the head of the man on the ground that had landed.After that, he held his head in his hand, showing a sign of victory.
Another person took a video of the event. The video ended up being on the corporal's personal Facebook account.The corpse was recognizable from the video.
The corporal uploaded pictures and videos of themselves as a trophy piece of Isis on the same Facebook account- the combatant's corpse.
