Q: PHP Simple HTML DOM getting two different cell classes (inline) but one may be empty Okay I searched all over for this and tried many things (3 hours) but, I am still stumped.
Here is my HTML snippet from somepage.com.

        First name:
        Jim

        Last name:
        Bo

        Age:

        Sex:
        Rarely

        City:

        State:
        California

Here is my Code snippet with a test with attempt to show me a little more info with isset line. (Yes, I am obviously clueless)
require_once 'simpledom/simple_html_dom.php';
$html = file_get_html('http://somepage.com/');
$i=0;
$tabletitles = array(); /* Get the titles 'what' Cell Names */
$tabledetails = array(); /* Get the Details in 'whatdet' Cells */
$tables = $html->find('table[@class="infotable"]'); /* Where both reside in */

foreach($tables as $table) {
    $titles = $table->find('td[@class="what"]');
    $titlesd = $table->find('td[@class="whatdet"]');

    foreach($titles as $title)  {
        /*UPDATE NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH a character like $ so I added */
        /*will do the same in $titlesd if I can figure out how to get it  */

        $title1 = preg_replace('/([?#^&*()$\\/])/', '\\\\$1', $title);

        echo $title1; /*Changed from $title*/

        if (isset($titlesd[$i])) /*this is just for testing*/
            echo $titlesd[$i].' is either 0, empty, or not set at all';

        /* WHAT I WANT is echo '
'. $title .'	'. $titlesd[$i] .
;*/
        $i++;
    }
}

What I am trying to attempt:
------------|----------
First name  | Jim
----------- |---------
Last name   | Bo
----------- |---------
Age         |
----------- |---------
Sex         | Rarely
----------- |---------
City        |
----------- |---------
State       | California
----------- |---------

But what I get now:
------------|----------
First name  | Jim
----------- |---------
Last name   | Bo
----------- |---------
Age         | Rarely
----------- |---------
Sex         | California
----------- |---------
City        |
----------- |---------
State       |
----------- |---------

I cannot seem to figure out how to assign a "blank" to $titlesd[$i] or skip it when it's in the loop. So, I keep getting undesired results. (to say the least)
So again, I beseech a guru here to give me another highly prized lesson.
Thank you..

A: use
$titlesd = ($table->find('td[@class="whatdet"]')) ? $table->find('td[@class="whatdet"]') : "";

A: If I'm not mistaken, this is what you try to do :
require_once 'simpledom/simple_html_dom.php';
$html = file_get_html('http://somepage.com/');

foreach($html->find('table[@class="infotable"]') as $table) {
    foreach($table->find('tr') as $line)  {
        $titles = $line->find('td[@class="what"]', 0);
        $titlesd = $line->find('td[@class="whatdet"]', 0);

        echo '
'
                .''.htmlspecialchars($titles).'	'
                .''.htmlspecialchars($titlesd).'	'
            .'
';
    }
}

I explain a bit :

*

*first, I go for
 lines, as it's what you want to print as output

*next, I try to get the first match (index 0 as 2nd parameter with ->find()) for both title and data on the current
 line

*and last, I print them with htmlspecialchars() to avoid problems with &>'<"
nb: as ->find() with index will return NULL if there is no find, I make this code assuming at worst echo $titlesd will be NULL and display nothing

A: Blag's answer is good but it can be much simpler:
foreach($html->find('.infotable tr') as $tr){
  echo $tr->find('td.what',0)->text();
  echo $tr->find('td.whatdet',0)->text();
  echo "\n";
}

Solar Energy Potential on Largest Rooftops in US
Solar energy potential on the largest rooftops in the United States
DO WE HAVE TO LOSE ACRES OF NATURAL HABITAT FOR SOLAR ENERGY?
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. NO.
ONE OF THE MOST OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITIES FOR UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR ENERGY IS RIGHT ABOVE US:
ROOFTOPS.
But not just any rooftops. We are looking at BIG ROOFTOPS.
Actually, the largest in the United States.
BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Partner with us by ADOPTING A ROOFTOP.
Your adoption will enable us to:
1. Run a complete solar energy technical potential and modeling analysis on your adopted building (one of 25) using Aurora, the most technically advanced solar energy modeling platform on Earth,
2. Train UC Davis students, who run each analysis, to develop critical modeling skills that help them understand how solar energy systems work and provide the real work experiences they need to be competitive on the job market when they graduate,
3. Communicate our findings with your adopted building owners to show them exactly how much energy they can produce and how much natural habitat they will save by developing solar on their rooftop instead of in or near our national and state parks and open spaces.
Adopt a BIG ROOFTOP NOW.

What do we do with your donation?
It costs $2,500 to publish our study in a journal that the decision makers will see. We use your donation to cover this fee.
It costs $3,000 to hire one undergraduate intern per quarter. We use your donation to provide job experiences for UC Davis undergraduates who need to supplement their income. We use your donation to hire four interns every quarter for one year.
It costs $600 to hire a graphic designer to produce high-quality images that will help make the results of our study more impactful and intelligible to non-scientists. We will use your donation to cover this expense.

Background | Impacts to land owing to renewable energy development often result in land degradation. The nature of such impacts depend on the duration, intensity, and reversibility of the disturbance (Dale et al 2011). The potential to overcome these impacts often involve changes in land use practices and mitigation; however, such impacts can be obviated entirely when PV systems are sited on rooftops in lieu of natural systems. Commercial buildings often have large, flat, and unobstructed (e.g., trees) rooftop space. Within the US, these types of structures have been increasing in area 22% since 2003 (CBECS 2012). Specifically, US commercial buildings, which include warehouses and distribution centers, constructed between 1960 to 1999 have an average floorspace of 1,514 m2 (16,300 sq. feet) while those assembled after 2000 have a floorspace of 1,774 m2 (19,100 sq. feet) on average (CBECS 2012).
Who | This study is entirely led by two of the brightest and most determined environmental undergraduate students at UC Davis, Esther Robles and Patty Boonlue, in collaboration with Aurora Solar and the Institute for Transportation Studies (ITS) at UC Davis, who funded two ITS Summer Fellows in 2016: Esther Robles and Patty Boonlue.
Will supporting this study really make a difference?
YES. We will share our findings in a scientific article published in a high-impact journal that is read by policy makers, solar energy stakeholders, and governmental agencies.
YES. We will share our findings as a press release with local and national journalists.
YES. We will write a letter to each company who owns the building. We will share our findings with them and encourage them to partner with us and our solar energy collaborators develop a feasible plan to develop their rooftop space to fight climate change, protect natural environments, and support electric transportation.
Want to know the more of the scientific objectives of this study?
Objectives | In this study, we seek to:
(1) Quantify the potential of rooftop-mounted PV systems deployed on 25 of the largest buildings in the United States,
(2) Assess the utility of Aurora for modeling commercial rooftop area, quantifying solar resources therein, and evaluating optimal PV system design, performance, and functionality,
(3) Compare potential generation to electricity consumption and transportation-related energy needs (e.g., electric cars) for each building separately, and
(4) Quantify the amount of land-sparing under the counterfactual scenario that equivalent capacity is developed as ground-mounted, utility-scale PV power plants.

Q: Format String to right, left and centre justify in C# I am working on .NET 6.0 application and need to apply right, centre and left justify string. The objective is apply formatting to string and then write string stream to text file.
Each of string are with space i.e. batchIdTag is must of be 25 character so I have added spaces based on actual string length to make total of 25 character string.
In following code I need to justify amountTag to right and InterfaceTag in Centre but unable to do so?
 public static void JustifyTxt()
    {
        try
        {
            string batchIdHeader = "BatchId                 ";
            string interfaceHeader = "Interface               ";
            string voucherTypeHeader = "VoucherType             ";
            string amountHeader = "Amount             ";
            string voucherNoHeader = "VoucherNo      ";

            string batchIdTag = "AIMGL07_220428           ";
            string interfaceTag = "XA                       ";
            string voucherTypeTag = "GL                       ";
            string amountTag = "1000                ";
            string voucherNoTag = "123238         ";

            Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------");
            Console.WriteLine($"{batchIdHeader}|{interfaceHeader}|{voucherTypeHeader}|{amountHeader}|{voucherNoHeader}");
            Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------");

            var formatedTag = String.Format("{0,0}{1,0}{2,0}{3,3}{4,0} ", batchIdTag, interfaceTag,voucherTypeTag,amountTag,voucherNoHeader);

            Console.WriteLine(formatedTag);

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex);
        }

    }

Answer
     public static void JustifyTxtCentre()
    {
        string tag = "AIMGL07_220428";

        int tagLen = tag.Length;
        int tagMaxWidth = 25;

        int tagLenDifference = tagMaxWidth - tag.Length;

        int totalPaddingToAdd = tagLenDifference > 0? tagLenDifference : checked(-tagLenDifference);

        int distributePaddings = totalPaddingToAdd / 2;

        int leftPaddings = distributePaddings;
        int rightPaddings = distributePaddings;

        var processedTag = new string(' ', leftPaddings) + tag + new string(' ', rightPaddings);

        if(processedTag.Length == (tagMaxWidth - 1))
        {
            processedTag = processedTag + new string(' ', 1);
        }

    }

A: string batchIdHeader ="BatchId";
string interfaceHeader ="Interface";
string voucherTypeHeader ="VoucherType";
string amountHeader ="Amount";
string voucherNoHeader ="VoucherNo";

string batchIdTag ="AIMGL07_220428";
string interfaceTag ="XA";
string voucherTypeTag ="GL";
string amountTag ="1000";
string voucherNoTag ="123238";

const int pad = 15;
Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 5*pad + 4)); // 5 columns + (5-1) spacers
Console.WriteLine($"{batchIdHeader,-pad}|{Centred(pad, interfaceHeader),-pad}|{voucherTypeHeader,-pad}|{amountHeader,pad}|{voucherNoHeader,-pad}");
Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 5*pad + 4));

Console.WriteLine($"{batchIdTag,-pad}|{Centred(pad, interfaceTag),-pad}|{voucherTypeTag,-pad}|{amountTag,pad}|{voucherNoTag,-pad}");

static string Centred( int total, string s) => s.PadLeft((total - s.Length) / 2 + s.Length);

prints
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BatchId        |   Interface   |VoucherType    |         Amount|VoucherNo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AIMGL07_220428 |      XA       |GL             |           1000|123238

If pad needs to be dynamic I would you can use PadLeft and PadRight instead ',pad}':
int w = 15;
Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 5*w + 4));
Console.WriteLine($"{Left(batchIdHeader,w)}|{Centred(interfaceHeader, w)}|{Left(voucherTypeHeader, w)}|{Right(amountHeader,w)}|{Left(voucherNoHeader,w)}");
Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 5*w + 4));

Console.WriteLine($"{Left(batchIdTag,w)}|{Centred(interfaceTag, w)}|{Left(voucherTypeTag, w)}|{Right(amountTag,w)}|{Left(voucherNoTag,w)}");

static string Centred(string s, int total) => s.PadLeft((total - s.Length) / 2 + s.Length).PadRight(total);
static string Left(string s, int total) => s.PadRight(total);
static string Right(string s, int total) => s.PadLeft(total);

A: Additionaly:

*

*You may pad specific number of empty spaces to align right (String.PadRight)

*You may use /t to add tab after a string to give space before other string. (or String.PadLeft)


Oh what a bummer! I cannot do the Library Thing widget in WordPress. I did link to my library and I plan to really use this to promote my play collection thanks to all the plays that have been dumped… oops, weeded from our system. No problem. So, if you have customers who need plays… you can start using my personal theater library. Cool!
My Second Passion is my upcoming journey to Africa. For the Rollyo assignment, I created a roll search for Africa's orphans. Check it out.
Well here's a little link of one of the online generators that turns things into drawings: .
I'm going to play around some more but two of the sites I tried… were over-busy and could not generate my image… so I'll try later tonight.
See my Avatar below… Hello World!
So… here's my public blogroll: http://www.bloglines.com/blog/irmbrown. I don't really use this much for sharing but I do have it and I have 52 feeds. Now, I want someone to tell me how to incorporate reading my feeds into my work day. I am basically a hoarder … I hoard feeds and websites and links in the same way that others hoard newspapers or anything else they collect. My feeds as wel as my bookmarks need some serious weeding!!!
I have also wanted to do more with Merlin. At one point, the tech staff was doing some online training there and I had hoped to take advantage of these links, but I came to it a little too late and in the midst of a lot of other things. Currently, the liaisons have a group there and I have used that a bit. Merlin was also the place I saw the talking avatar that I so much wanted for our site… unfortunately, that too, is on a back burner. sigh! Hmmm. I did subscribe to Merlin just to be "politically correct " – but there's not much going on there. Too bad.
All of my blogs, including my personal blogs are on Technorati… of course, my personal blogs are not visited often and so they have some kind of astronomical figure… but that's ok. The library blogs are also listed with Technorati. Maybe a good exercise would be to subscribe to the library's blog: HCPL News & Events that's linked from the home page. Well, harumph! Just tried to register at Sindic8… that was a bust … I even went to the trouble of doing a "VCard" which I doubt anyone would use… but thought I would try it anyway. Ok. I tried again. This is so important in tech world… if something doesn't work, always try again. It could be tech glitch… a delay on the server … any number of things. I'll have to check in later… it says I"m registered but I haven't gotten my official login yet.
Ok, here's what i don't like about these avatars… they're all extremely skinny and young. Sigh!

The Economic Reality of Native Americans and the Need for Immediate Repair
By Dedrick Asante-Muhammad and Kathy Ramirez / November 26, 2019 November 26, 2019 / Field Notes
As we celebrate and recognize Native American Heritage Month this November, it is vital to acknowledge their growing population, socio-economic challenges and advancements in comparison to other ethnic groups. Ten years ago, the report, "Challenges to Native American Advancement: The Recession and Native America," was released to shed light on the economic challenges of a population too often ignored. Ten years later, we see there is still too little written about the socio-economic reality of this land's first peoples and how racial economic inequality affects Native Americans.
There is a false perception that Native Americans are people of the past, with only remnants living on reservations. However, according to the World Population Review, the current total population of Native Americans in the United States is 6.97 million, which is drastically higher than the population of 500,000 in 1960. In regards to reservations, the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau data indicated that only 20% of American Indians and Alaska Native alone-or-in combination lived on them. For instance, the largest Native American populations are found in urban centers such as New York, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Oklahoma City and Anchorage. Alaska and New Mexico are the states with the highest percentage of Native Americans at about 14% and 9% of total population, while Oklahoma and Arizona are the states with the largest overall Native American populations of 276,650 and 266,680.
It is also important to understand the socio-economic status of Native Americans and how this compares to other populations such as African Americans, Hispanics and Whites. In too many measures, Native Americans have the lowest socio-economic indicators. The 2018 Bureau of Labor Statistics data reported that the unemployment rate among Native Americans was 6.6%, aligning closely to the percentage of African Americans at 6.5%, but lagging far behind Hispanics at 4.7%, and Whites at 3.5%. Native Americans have a poverty rate of 25%, over 3 times the poverty rate of White Americans. Despite increases in educational attainment over the last 25 years, Native Americans have the lowest educational achievement rates in comparison to other national racial and ethnic groups, with only 14% of Native Americans having a bachelor's degree or higher. To learn more about the socio-economic status of Native Americans, see NCRC's Native American Racial Wealth Divide Snapshot.
What is clear about the current socio-economic status of Native Americans is that their disenfranchisement is not only a part of U.S. history but a present-day reality that reminds us that as a nation we have not overcome our past and present sins. It is far past time that the United States take dramatic action to be inclusive of Native American people, whose lands served as the basis for what is today the wealthiest country in the world.
The previously mentioned report, "Challenges to Native American Advancement: The Recession and Native America," highlights five pathways to target Native American economic advancement. These pathways were:
Improve Native Amerian census data collection,
Increase Native American federal aid,
Overhaul the Indian Health Service,
Channel federal and state funds through tribal government,
Target Native American job creation.
These policies, along with the type of policy overhaul highlighted in "Ten Policy Solutions To Bridge the Racial Wealth Divide," are what is required to truly honor the indigenous peoples of this country and address the wrongs perpetrated against them to this day.
Dedrick Asante-Muhammad is the Chief of Race, Wealth, and Community at NCRC.

How Matt Capizzi and Zenrez took the technology behind airline pricing and applied it to fitness classes
How Zenrez is taking the technology behind airline pricing and applied it to fitness classes.
By Jeremy GoldmanFounder and CEO, Firebrand Group @jeremarketer
What do yield management and yoga have in common?
This might sound like the beginning of a riddle, but in fact, yield management and yoga were the "two loves" that inspired Matt Capizzi to create Zenrez, the San Francisco-based company that uses price optimization technology to get users the best price on last minute fitness classes.
When Capizzi first came up with the idea for Zenrez, companies like ClassPass didn't exist. At the time, he was attending the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon, taking classes in yield and revenue management. During the same period, he was also getting into yoga -- which gave him the idea for tying together these two very different interests.
Yield Management: The Unlikely Hero
What Capizzi realized was this: most fitness classes are never filled to capacity, which means fitness studios are losing out on a lot of potential revenue. He thought there had to be a better way to manage fitness classes, and that's where his knowledge of yield management came in handy. A yield management system allows companies to change the pricing of certain goods or services based on the demand at any given time. This system is already being used extensively by airlines and hotels to optimize their prices.
As with flights, there's essentially a time limit on the inventory (after all, you can't sell someone entry to a class that's already happened), Capizzi wanted to find a technology that would change the price of the class depending on when the class was being held and when the user was looking to buy.
Look at it this way: if you're a fitness studio, you're not likely to be offering deals to people who book for your classes a month in advance, as they're probably regulars. But what if it's the night before the class, and you still have six spaces left to fill? In that case, you're likely going to lower the price as a way of enticing people. By doing it this way, you're not hurting the revenue that you get from your regulars (who pay full price), and you're still making money from the new people who've decided to take your class.
Unlike ClassPass, which Capizzi sees as "more of a marketing company", Zenrez decided to approach this as a problem that could be solved using technology. And here, again, is where the principles of yield management came into play. As Capizzi saw it, "Yield management [was] the perfect way to find efficiency."
So What Took So Long?
Given that the principles of yield management have been used by airlines and hotels for years, it's interesting that no one else thought to apply it to fitness before he came along. So why hasn't anyone used it to solve this problem before? The answer is pretty simple: most people don't know what yield management is. "Had I not gone to grad school, I probably wouldn't know about it either," admits Capizzi.
It doesn't help that the world of yield management is pretty vast, and there are a lot of ways to approach the problem. Capizzi found it helpful in these types of situations to begin with the end in mind, and then figure out how to get there. With a fitness class, there are lots of variables that impact demand: class type, teacher, time of day, and so on. And in addition, there also needs to be a database to be ready to capture all of the data when it comes in.
Armed with a strategy, Capizzi had to figure out how to build this system. He worked with professors at Carnegie Mellon and Harvard to get to this technology standpoint that very few businesses in the world have. "Now that we have this know-how," Capizzi says, "there are applications far beyond fitness classes. Wouldn't it be great if you were on the Zenrez app and you could get a massage a day or two after an intensive class?" Personal training, massages, salons, and even acupuncture could all be affected by Zenrez's services -- basically, he could go into just about anything other than the food industry.
There have been surprises along the way. These studios are obsessed with their brands. In theory, studios should be fine taking $1 for a class a minute before the class is due to begin, since otherwise that spot would be wasted. But in reality, studios have to protect their brand and they won't just give out free classes. Capizzi is careful never to say discounts or deals. "To a consumer, it may look like a discount to the drop-in price," he says, "but it's really about price optimization."
Ultimately, Capizzi and Zenrez have come up with a unique solution to a complicated problem. Instead of approaching it from a marketing perspective, à la ClassPass, Zenrez combined technology and economics to come up with a product that benefits both consumers and fitness studios. It's safe to say that their approach has yielded rewards.

The newly inaugurated Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, has declared that the state was in an emergency situation with a huge debt of N120 billion.
Speaking during his inaugural speech in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, the governor said the state was currently battling with more than N120 billion debt piled up by the immediate past government of former Governor, Ayodele Fayose.
The former Minister of Solid Minerals consequently urged the Federal Government to assist in bailing the state out through the Economic Stabilisation Fund.
He said, "We are ready to work with everyone to create a landmark progress.
"We are committing to world best practices and deploy all skills to honestly work for the progress of the state.
Fayemi insisted that the state would return to the fold of other states in the West to "fast track economic development.
"We will take full ownership of the challenges ahead of us,'' he added.

Kang Kyun Sung of Noel Releases Teaser for Solo Single "Just Look at the Sky"
Vocalist Kang Kyun Sang of the ballad group Noel released the teaser for his project album "Clef Project 1/4" through the official LOEN Entertainment YouTube channel on May 10.
The video teaser is for the main track "Just Look at the Sky" and shows Kang Kyun Sang doing just that in a forest. The teaser hints at a mid tempo song with a string background. The video ends with Kang Kyun Sung singing the title of the song.
The album "Clef Project 1/4" and the music video for "Just Look at the Sky" will be released on May 13. On May 15 and 16 the singer will hold a concert in Ewha Women's University. Later on in July the singer will hold his first solo concert in Japan called "Melody in Tokyo."
Kang Kyun Sung


First I had to have what was explained as magnified mammograms so they could get a better picture of the problem area.
Then I saw a Doctor who examined me and used the ultra sound to see if she could find it but she was unable to.
So then I had to have a series of six biopsies taken. By this time we had been at the hospital 3 and a half hours, so with just the breast nurse to see to make my appointment for the results and any questions I had, have to admit that by now I was feeling knackered and very sore so was wanting to get home for a cuppa! but I did remember her calling it a calcification.
i was diagnosed last February, my mammogram showed calcifications in both breasts and underwent vacuum biopsies. It was put to me by the radiographer that he thought they looked normal but the other Dr thought they may be DCIS – told this would be worse case scenario. The results came back with DCIS and underwent surgery to remove and about to start radiotherapy.
DCIS carry 100% survival rate so if one is unfortunate to get breast cancer this is the one to have.
I'm not saying this is what you have, only biopsy can confirm that. Hopefully the results on the 31st will return negative, until then try not to worry too much.
Thank you so much for responding, I am feeling quite optimistic at the moment!
Just nice to hear responses that are full of hope!
That's the way to do it Peggy, keep that optimism up.

We moved into new office space that is more conducive for growing our business. This move has also resulted in a reduction of our overhead by approximately 59%.
Strategic Business partnerships -- we have formed cross selling and marketing partnerships with some established and respected companies within the industry. We will continue to actively search to forge additional relationships that offer complimentary and strategic services to ours.
Clean up balance sheet -- re-negotiated some of the debt and converted other portions. We have also begun selling some of the unused warehouse equipment and other long-lived assets.
Part of our plan is to acquire established revenue generating profitable companies that are in the wireless infrastructure space. We have had discussions with several and are in advanced negotiations with 3.

We want to create opportunities for local and refugee communities to foster and encourage a cultural exchange that creates new forms of mutual integration. Our project B.R.E.A.D. provides the starter dough to stimulate experimentation, prototyping and co-creation between refugees and locals to build new enterprises together; to celebrate diversity, and negate divisions, stereotypes and myths.
What is your impact?
B.R.E.A.D. will create hybrid communities and enterprises of locals and refugees that enrich each other's everyday lives with new possibilities. We anticipate new jobs and enterprises around bread-baking that give locals and refugees an income and new meaning in their everyday lives. In a year from now, we hope that the European public's perception of refugees will be more positive. The co-creative outputs will be seen as an improvement for everyone.
How do you get there?
This is a 10 month project, 01 June 2016 - 30 March 2017.
Phase 1 (Jun, Jul, Aug. 2016)
A. Starting-up: Workshop/Event Planning, & developing Partnerships
B. Setting up the Web Platform, Promotion & Communication with the Partner Network
C. Setting up the B.R.E.A.D. truck & team.
Phase 2 The Journey (Sept - Oct. 2016)
The B.R.E.A.D. truck journey begins in Stockholm and finishes in Athens, visiting 9 cities across 9 countries over 4 to 5 weeks.
Phase 3 (Oct 2016 to March 2017) Dissemination, Competition & Continuity.
The stories and outputs from the Journey are focused through a competition to encourage the refugees & host communities to submit their best prototype bread and/or collaborative bakery. A book and/or documentary will encourage scaling-up.
Who are you doing it for?
The key beneficiaries and target group are the refugees (with sensitivity to including female AND male, young AND old) with the host communities in Europe. Stakeholders are wide ranging, including those who set up and develop the B.R.E.A.D. project with AoA (designers, bread makers, organisations for refugees and the AoA international network); those who facilitate local prototypes and projects (e.g. refugee organisations, local communities, municipalities and others).
What makes your idea stand apart?
Although many citizens, host communities and governments willingly extend human kindness and resources to refugees, there is a common reality that initial help is only temporary and that more permanent solutions need to be sought. B.R.E.A.D. can demonstrate new models to encourage co-creation and co-prototyping of new enterprises between refugees and locals for mutual benefit. AoA will demonstrate innovative ways to hybridise ideas to improve cohesion at the local level where it is so needed.

Naples is a bustling City on the southern coast of Italy. A little rough around the edges, it isn't like any other Italian City I've been to – for instance, Naples isn't the cleanest of cities and has a serious rubbish collection problem which doesn't seem like it will change anytime soon. Having said that, it's not as touristy as some other places across Italy and is definitely very authentic. Before visiting, I also heard a lot about Naples being unsafe – we didn't experience any problems but, as in most places, you should take care of your belongings. I wouldn't recommend walking around very late at night, mainly because the streets aren't very well lit.
1) Eat pizza, and lots of it! After all, you're in the birth place of pizza 😁 I would highly recommend L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele. Their margheritas are amazing! And, it's also the place that Julia Roberts goes to in Eat, Pray, Love! Sorbillo is another place we tried in the Mergellina area – awesome pizzas with cheeses I'd never heard of!
2) Walk down Mergellina, by the coast. Lots of restaurants and nice views of Vesuvius and the bay. When the weather is good, it's the place where all the locals hang out!
The weather was extremely temperamental but gave me this amazing shot!
3) Naples does both Pizzas and Piazzas oh so well – head to Piazza del Plebiscito for some grand architecture.
4) Be sure to visit Palazzo Reale in Piazza Plebiscito, a beautiful palace in the heart of Naples. Highlight for me was the stunning staircase when you enter the palace and the beautiful Teatrino di Corte, a lavish private theatre.
Who doesn't love a private theatre in ones house!
5) The National Archealogical Museum is also a must as it holds many of the original mosaics and frescos from Pompeii as well as a number of other ancient artefacts and sculptures. Make sure you check in advance if there's a particular gallery you want to see as sometimes, due to staff shortages, parts of the museum are closed. A real highlight for me was the Toro Farnese sculpture which depicts the death of Dirce, Queen of Thebes. It is carved from a single block of marble – unbelievable when you see the detail.
Top tip: most museums are free on the first Sunday of the month!
Although Naples is usually a stopover for most people heading to the splendid Amalfi Coast and Pompeii, I don't think it gets the kudos it deserves. I admit that it isn't everyone's cup of tea but it's definitely worth a visit if you want to experience a different side of Italy!

W trójkącie (ang. Triangle of Sadness) – szwedzko-francusko-brytyjsko-niemiecki dramat satyryczny z 2022 roku w reżyserii Rubena Östlunda. Film został nagrodzony Złotą Palmą na 75. MFF w Cannes. Zdobył cztery Europejskie Nagrody Filmowe: dla najlepszego filmu, reżysera, scenariusza i aktora. Obraz nominowano też do Złotego Globu za najlepszy film komediowy lub musical oraz dla najlepszej aktorki drugoplanowej (Dolly de Leon).

Zdjęcia do filmu powstały w Grecji (m.in. plaża Hiliadou na wyspie Eubea, jacht na Morzu Jońskim) oraz w Szwecji (wnętrza jachtu kręcone w studiu filmowym w Trollhättan). Produkcja była kilkukrotnie przerywana ze względu na kolejne fale pandemii.

Fabuła
Para modeli-influencerów podróżuje na ekskluzywnym jachcie wśród bogaczy. Sztorm doprowadza do komplikacji, które niweczą dotychczasową drabinę społeczną na statku.

Główne role
 Harris Dickinson - Carl
 Charlbi Dean - Yaya
 Woody Harrelson - kapitan
 Dolly de Leon - Abigail
 Zlatko Burić - Dimitry

Odbiór
Film uzyskał liczne nagrody, lecz agregatorzy recenzji byli ostrożniejsi: na Rotten Tomatoes uzyskał 71% pozytywnych recenzji oraz ogólną ocenę 63 na Metacritic.

Michał Walkiewicz z serwisu Filmweb punktował regres w twórczości reżysera, pisząc m.in., że "w najnowszym filmie "Triangle of Sadness", obrywa się beneficjentom "późnego kapitalizmu", lecz zamiast nokautu dostajemy wymęczone zwycięstwo na punkty. To sprawnie zrealizowany, zabawny i przewrotny film, który byłby perłą w koronie niejednego satyryka z kamerą. W przypadku Östlunda (...) to jednak krok wstecz".

The combination of blackcurrant and mint is a fabulous one, and when used to flavour macarons you have the most sublime little sweet treats.
I am currently doing several macaron masterclasses and this is one of the flavours of macarons I did with one of them: a masterclass for a group of lovely people who bid for me in an auction at the Savoy Hotel, London. It was real honour to have been one of the lots!
I love blackcurrant in any form, but mixed with lemon curd and melted white chocolate – with just a hint of mint – and you have the most wonderfully tangy, refreshing experience.
This is a cheat's ganache: simply the ingredients below, beaten together until smooth and left in the fridge for a couple of hours for the chocolate to set.
You get a fruity spread that holds its shape fully – which is what you want when filling macarons.
My recipe for macarons, which has details for every step of the process, including top tips and troubleshooting pointers, can be found here.
Don't get at all put off by a savoury macaron. These smoked salmon and horseradish macarons are to die for, and always vanish quickly! They are not too sweet: the trick with them is to have an intensely savoury filling to balance the shells.
