Ireland has always had a love affair with Hollywood. It is a modern day chapter of The Wild Geese Story.
Talent has flocked from Ireland to carve out a career in California. The Golden Age of Hollywood saw the rise of George Brent (1899-1979), a 'dark haired charmer', left Ireland in 1925 and headed to the US. He started touring with production companies, performing across many different states and eventually appearing on Broadway alongside Clark Gable in 'Love, Honour, and Betray'.
In 1930 Brent moved to Hollywood and starred in his first film 'Under Suspicion', starting an extremely rich career. His most frequent co-star was Bette Davis and the two maintained a very close relationship, even up to his death in 1979. George Brent brought the romantic charisma of Ireland to the big screen, and captivated audiences of his age. However, he was was only the first part of this love affair.
In recent years, other stars from Ireland have resonated on the silver screen. Liam Neeson, Collin Farrell and Pierce Brosnan have now become established actors, recognised throughout the world. But a new wave of Irish actors is fast approaching and leading the way is Michael Fassbender, who has brought the appealing traits of George Brent to twenty-first century audiences.
Fassbender currently lives in LA - a sensible decision as he's currently working Hollywood blockbuster Promethus - but has an exciting heritage. Fassbender was born in Heidelber in Germany to a German father and Irish mother, but his family moved to Killarney, Co. Kerry.
Fassbender talking to Irish Central, February 2011.
He's quickly building a reputation has bringing sensitivity to the roles he plays, while also keeping them exciting and often on the fringe of hero and villain. He is perhaps at his best playing the Byronic hero Mr Rochchester in Jane Eyre .
Fassbender's Irish accent also nearly stole the show in X-Men: First Class, in his dynamic turn as the troubled Magneto. But it was Fassbender's brave portrayal of Bobby Sands, who led the Irish Hunger Strike in 1891, that proved to be a turning point in his career. A sensitive role, Fassbender went through a crash diet and restricted himself to only 600 calories per day. The performance really opened audiences eyes to just what Fassbender could do. He received the award for Best Performance by an actor in a British Independent Film at the British Independent Film Awards.
Already been dubbed 'an Irish Marlon Brando', its been a long journey from Ireland to Hollywood - taking numerous television roles and even working in a pub while times were hard - but it seems Michael Fassbender has finally arrived, and he's brought with him the remarkable creativity of Ireland.
Fassbender likes to return to Ireland when he gets the opportunity - 'Usually I get back around three times a year'. Back in 1691, Sarsfield and his followers took the name 'Wild Geese' as they left their homeland, hoping that one day they would return to Ireland. Its great to see that the call to home is still a powerful force.

This article will discuss the current California legal maze situation for opening a cannabis based business. If you are considering getting into the Marijuana / Cannabis industry feel free to contact us at info@yourcannalife.com We assist your business venture from start to finish.
Since passage of the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act in California ("MCRSA"), our California marijuana business attorneys have been getting calls nearly non-stop regarding what folks can do now to have a medical marijuana business later in the Golden State. The passage of Proposition 64, California's legalization initiative, has only accelerated the questions on what to expect in the future now that California will have a full-blown legal marijuana licensing system as well.
Though the three bills that make up the MCRSA and Proposition 64 lay the groundwork for California's future medical and recreational marijuana licensing systems, these laws are only the beginning. California's Bureau of Marijuana Control ("BMC"), and various other California state agencies granted governing authority under these new laws will be filling in the blanks on the actual substance of all medical and recreational rules and enforcement.
Residency. The MCRSA doesn't have an explicit or affirmative residency requirement yet, but that could change with future rule-making. However, Proposition 64 does. Chapter 5, Section 26054.1(a) of Proposition 64 states that, "[n]o licensing authority shall issue or renew a license to any person that cannot demonstrate continuous California residency from or before January 1, 2015. In the case of an applicant or licensee that is an entity, the entity shall not be considered a resident if any person controlling the entity cannot demonstrate continuous California residency from and before January 1, 2015." This residency requirement will expire on December 31, 2019, unless the California state legislature renews it. Essentially, if licenses begin to issue in 2018, California legal marijuana has a three-year residency requirement. However, regarding a licensee entity, it's the "controlling persons" that must be residents. Notably, "controlling" isn't defined in the initiative, so the state will need to address this in its rule-making. How the state defines "controlling" will likely determine whether out-of-staters (including residents of foreign countries) can participate in California's adult use marijuana industry as owners of a licensed business.
For-profits. There's been quite a bit of debate about whether the MCRSA will allow for-profit companies. In my view it will, and I base that on the law defining a license "applicant" as an "[o]wner or owners of a proposed facility, including all persons or entities having ownership interest other than a security interest, lien, or encumbrance on property that will be used by the facility," and defining a "person" as "an individual, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation, limited liability company, estate, trust, business trust, receiver, syndicate, or any other group or combination acting as a unit and includes the plural as well as the singular number." Proposition 64 has almost identical language for the terms "applicant," "owner," and "person." The big question is whether California will allow all existing non-profit medical marijuana collectives to just convert to for-profit companies (which is permissible under the California corporations code for non-profit mutual benefit corporations, which entities constitute the vast majority of existing medical marijuana operators), or whether it will instead force collectives to wind down before and start brand new for-profit companies. This transition matters for things like the distribution of assets upon dissolution, tax consequences, and the continued use of a non-profit's already established goodwill. For more on our views regarding the California non-profit transition, go here.
Financing. Both the recreational and the medical sides of California's new laws are silent regarding financing, which means the state will have to address it through rule-making in the coming months. Beyond Proposition 64's residency requirement for ownership and "control," it is not yet clear who will be able to finance California marijuana businesses. In some states, residency requirements have forced licensees to rely on money from family and friends (see Washington). In other states, rule makers allow financiers from anywhere is allowed to invest in their local cannabis businesses. If California borrows from Washington, Colorado, or Alaska, financing for California cannabis businesses will likely be hamstrung by residency. If California takes its financing page from Nevada, Illinois, or Oregon (all of which have no residency requirements), cannabis investments in California will likely explode.
Priority licensing. Both the MCRSA and Proposition 64 contain priority licensing thresholds. AB 266 of the MCRSA, at Article 4, Section 19321, states that "[i]n issuing licenses, the licensing authority shall prioritize any facility or entity that can demonstrate to the authority's satisfaction that it was in operation and in good standing with the local jurisdiction by January 1, 2016." Proposition 64 at Chapter 5, Section 26054.2(a) contains the following "priority" language similar to the MCRSA: "A licensing authority shall give priority in issuing licenses under this division to applicants that can demonstrate to the authority's satisfaction that the applicant operated in compliance with the Compassionate Use Act and its implementing laws before September 1, 2016, or currently operates in compliance with [the MCRSA]." With respect to local law compliance, Proposition 64 provides that "[t]he [BMC] shall request that local jurisdictions identify for the bureau potential applicants for licensure based on the applicants' prior operation in the local jurisdiction in compliance with state law, including the Compassionate Use Act and its implementing laws, and any applicable local laws." None of this tells us much about what priority status will actually mean or the detailed standards for proving it. Does it mean you get to be first in line for a cannabis license? Does it mean you get a cannabis license and no one else does? It could mean a number of things depending on how the state defines it, which we likely will not know until the initial rules come out.
Limitation on number of licenses. The MCRSA mandates that certain licenses be "limited" in number, but it doesn't specify what those limitations will be. Limited licenses under the MCRSA include the "Manufacturing level 2" license "for manufacturing sites that produce medical cannabis products using volatile solvents," the Type 3 outdoor cultivation license, the Type 3A indoor cultivation license, and the Type 3B mixed-light cultivation license. Other than prohibiting large scale cultivation for the first five years of the program, Proposition 64 contains no licensing limitations, though that could change once the state begins to rule make.
Distribution. One of the hottest topics under the MCRSA is its mandatory distributorship. The MCRSA defines "distributor" as "a person licensed . . . to engage in the business of purchasing medical cannabis from a licensed cultivator, or medical cannabis products from a licensed manufacturer, for sale to a licensed dispensary." Formerly, distributors were also the only channel through which cultivators and manufacturers could transport product to other manufacturers for further manufacturing, but this changed with the passage of SB 837 this year. Still, unlike any other cannabis legal state, cultivators and manufacturers must go through a licensed distributor to get their product to retail, and any additional roles and responsibilities of the distributor will likely come from the governing state agencies through rule-making. In contrast to MCRSA, while Proposition 64 requires use of a distributor by all licensees, a Proposition 64 distributor doesn't have to be an independent company. And the only Proposition 64 licensees that will have to use independently owned distributors are large-scale cultivators with a Type 5 license, which licenses won't even become available until 2023. Again, the exact role of the distributor under Proposition 64 will likely come via future rule-making.
Licensing fees. Neither law tells us what the license fees will be. Given how other recreational states have behaved and that California wants to include its existing MMJ operators, it's unlikely California will make its licensing competitive and cost prohibitive — though it may implement some sort of lottery system for the limited licenses under the MCRSA. In most recreational states, the license application fee has been $250 or less. In medical marijuana states however, license application fees have ranged from approximately $60,000 in Florida (non-refundable) down to $5,000 in Nevada. We know that under both the MCSRA and Proposition 64, license fees must be set on a "scaled basis" and calculated to cover the costs of administering the programs.
how products will be stored and quarantined if you're a retailer.
For those looking on how California will interpret its "controlling" person requirement, Prop 64's definition of an "applicant" provides some help. Proposition 64 defines an applicant to include the owner or owners of a proposed licensee, with "owner" meaning all persons with an aggregate ownership of 20% or more plus the power to direct the management of control of the licensee. For a publicly traded company, an "owner" includes the CEO, any board member, and persons or entities with aggregate ownership of 20% or more. For a nonprofit entity, an "owner" shall mean the CEO and any board members. If California decision makers decide to follow this interpretation to determine a "controlling" person for purposes of the residency requirement, it will likely capture out-of-state persons with at least 20% aggregate ownership and some sort of control over the entity. As of right now, if we had to predict, we would say that California likely will use these same rules to determine controlling persons for residency purposes as well.
It is also beneficial to compare California's proposed residency requirement with those in other regulated medical and recreational marijuana states. Both Oregon and Colorado started out with a two-year residency requirement for all applicants, looking back from the date of filing. In contrast, Washington ended up with a six-month residency requirement for all license holders, managers, and interest holders, which captured practically everyone involved in the business. However, all three states have since amended their residency requirement with Oregon completely repealing its residency requirement for both medical and recreational businesses earlier this year. If the approach of these states serves as any indication, California may eventually take a less stringent approach to enforcing its residency requirement. The more states that allow out-of-staters to participate in their cannabis industries, the more other states will feel pressure to do the same.
A final challenge for out-of-state residents interested in entering California is that some California cities and counties have begun adopting their own local residency requirements. For example, a county may require an applicant for a local marijuana permit to demonstrate residency in the county for at least one year prior to the date of application. Taking it a step further, the City of Oakland's draft cannabis ordinance included a provision that required half of all new permits go to residents of select neighborhoods with a history of higher marijuana-related arrest rates.

I sometimes hear pairing brown with black (also navy with black) as a "don't" and can't imagine why! I think the two work together harmoniously, which inspired this outfit comprised of four of my favorite neutrals. This is my second Bobeau cardigan and the "light grey" knit is a heathered one that goes with everything. I've gotten some questions on the differences between Bobeau's regular fleece cardigan (which I've shown often in "mink") and their fuzzy which I have on here. The regular has a smooth outer and is lined in a traditional fleece material as most of us know it, while the fuzzy fleece is a thinner knit material that is smoother on the inside and with a very fine fuzziness on the outside that feels suuper soft and not really fleece-y. I found the fuzzy to run a little tighter in the arms thus sized up one.
This outfit prompted me to also share a little tip I've been using to keep hats secure on your head! After having one too many gusts of wind leave me chasing after a hat, I came up with these super easy hairpin loops made of thin elastic. Simple sew two (one near each ear) pieces of elastic by hand into the interior of a hat band, and use them as loops to secure bobby pins to. If needs be, seal the cut edges of the elastic with clear nail polish to prevent fraying. I am slowly in the process of adding these to all my hats, especially the lightweight ones from summer!
Sizing-wise, this hat is more generously sized, but I kept it out of several I tried because it actually encases most of my head and keeps it warm. I've been using it more as a functional rather than fashion accessory (rumples hair up much less than knit hats), but it doesn't hurt that it's in a cute panama shape. If you have a hard-to-fit head, I've mentioned before on IG that H&M; has sized hats in S/M/L and the S fits pretty small (I'm a M there).
Black skinny jeans are high up on my fall/winter staples list, as they're so flattering especially with booties. Nordstrom has a big selection at all price points starting in sizes 23 / 000, and I like to filter by size plus "ankle" length for ones that may require no alterations on shorties. The J.Brand "Maria" cut is an old favorite of mine despite a regular length that did need to be hemmed. It's a high-waisted style that fully covers my lower belly, which some may be averse to but in my older age I love how it holds everything in and flattens that area. The material of these in "vanity" is a substantial-weight denim (please note that I've found materials to be quite varied based on the color code, even within the same style from the same brand). Color is a regular black, not as jet black as these photos depict.
If you're looking for more of a jegging, I love the feel of CoH's popular legging jeans in "axel." I remember a while back I was sick in bed and less than enthused about getting dressed for an event. I was staying with a friend, who loaned me her "axel" jeans and I couldn't believe something so stretchy, soft and comfortable could look reasonably formal! I like my ankle area to be super skinny however and these have a slim but slightly wider opening than my J.Brands. A sz 24 in the CoH's fit well everywhere except length, so I didn't find them to run small like the item listing notes.
Thank you to Nordstrom denim for sponsoring this post!
PS – restock alert – my wool blend plaid scarf from this post is now all sold out on Sole Society, but I noticed Nordstrom just got stocked the "hunter green" one I have!
I love your sweater. Would you mind to tell me where you bought it? I am very short and I found a lot of sweaters like this one are to long for me.
This is a really great idea! I am in constant struggle when I am wearing a hat! Your tip is a life safer! Thanks so much for sharing!
This is the cutest outfit! Great inspiration.
I use hat elastics made for hats. They work with small hats too. I got mine on etsy. I think it's an easier and more secure solution than this and no sewing at all. Just make holes into the sweat band of the hat with a sewing needle and thread the elastic through. The elastic goes behind your ears and your hair covers it. Search up "hat elastic" on etsy and get ones that blend to your hair color.
Thanks for the tip on hats – an easy fix that I also will start using for my summer hats!
What a great idea on the hat! I will have to give this a try.
Love the Bobeau fleece on you, and really want one! Would you say the sleeves are shorter on this one versus the non fuzzy or same?
Great tip!!! Thanks for sharing it!
In love with your outfit. I am also looking for a hat but it is usually too big for me (except at the child's section). Definately need to go to H&M;!
Love your outfit!! Nice hat!!
I LOVE your outfits, thanks so much for sharing them! I was wondering if your hair is permed or curled with an iron – looks amazing!!
I love this look! I'm always skeptical about mixing black and brown, but you did it brilliantly.
A cool crystal necklace would also look really nice here.
Love your idea on the hairpin loops to keep hats secure on the head, very clever!
This is such an easy idea, but I've never thought of it! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this! I have a sun hat that I love to wear in the summer but have been wearing less and less due to annoyance with the wind pulling it off my head constantly. When I wear it I pretty much constantly have to have a hand on the brim holding it on–annoying. I'm definitely going to be trying this bobby pin idea!
such a cute post and love the hat. That trick so would've been helpful when I was in Chicago!
Thanks for sharing this amazing hat trick, it's going to be so useful for me 🙂 I also love wearing brown accessories with black and vice versa.
Hi Jean! How far above your ankle do you get your jeans hemmed for those you wear with ankle boots? I've been eyeing some bloggers to guesstimate but just wanted to get another opinion before I take them to be hemmed.
Wonderful advice Jean! I have such a small head. Child sized. Seriously! So finding hats to fit is near impossible. Except for vintage hats. Lovely post doll!!
I like it very much 🙂 !
Hi Jean, for your Bobeau cardigan, how do you wash it? Do you just hang dry and how does it come out?
How clever! I'm going to have to try this with my "fancy" winter hats!
@Jean: Love the outfit. I just got the Bobeau cardigan in mink that you have and it leaves a whole bunch of fuzz on the shirts I wear underneath..needed to lint roller it off. So if I wear it, I think I won't be able to take it off unless I'm changing for the day. Do you have that problem?

Q: Questions about MBR/GRUB I have a simple question. Where is MBR (GRUB) located, it's inside a partition? And does it get removed when you format & delete the partitions of Ubuntu?

A: This question isn't quite as simple as you may think.
First off, MBR and GRUB aren't the same thing. MBR is:

the information in the first sector of any hard disk or diskette that identifies how and where an operating system is located so that it can be boot (loaded) into the computer's main storage or random access memory. The Master Boot Record is also sometimes called the "partition sector" or the "master partition table" because it includes a table that locates each partition that the hard disk has been formatted into. In addition to this table, the MBR also includes a program that reads the boot sector record of the partition containing the operating system to be booted into RAM. In turn, that record contains a program that loads the rest of the operating system into RAM.

GRUB, however, is:

a boot loader package from the GNU Project. GRUB is the reference implementation of the Free Software Foundation's Multiboot Specification, which provides a user the choice to boot one of multiple operating systems installed on a computer or select a specific kernel configuration available on a particular operating system's partitions.

A shorter version: MBR is the info on a hard drive that tells the BIOS of the computer what to boot. GRUB is a bootloader, which scans for installed operating systems and presents them in a list to choose among. (Not the best summary, but it should do for now)

Where is MBR (GRUB) located, it's inside a partition?

Well, it depends. You see, there are actually at least two different ways a hard drive might be set up:

*

*MBR
This was explained above, so I think I can leave it at that.

*GPT
This is a newer standard than MBR, although it essentially does the same thing. GPT has more features and is generally more useful than MBR. However, for normal purposes, the two aren't vastly different.
(For a more in-depth explanation of the differences: http://www.howtogeek.com/193669/whats-the-difference-between-gpt-and-mbr-when-partitioning-a-drive/)
There is one difference that is very important to your question, though, and that is (U)EFI. Hard drives using GPT are compatible with EFI. MBR is not, at least not normally.
UEFI presents itself in the form of a small FAT32 partition at the very beginning of the hard drive. Inside this, operating systems that support GPT/EFI place their boot files. If the system the hard drive is on is compatible with EFI, it will first look into that EFI partition and find a boot file to load an OS. There's some sort of priority system that decides what file to boot from if there are multiple options, but I don't really know how that works.
MBR does not make use of this EFI partition. Instead, OS boot files are stored in their respective partitions, and the MBR tells the BIOS what to look for. In the case of GRUB, the normal MBR code gets replaced by the stage 1 portion of GRUB. This then passes off to the stage 1.5 part, which then passes off to stage 2. Stage 2 is the only part of the process on the partition.
This configuration is very different on Windows, but we're not here to talk about Windows.
So, finally, the answer. With both MBR and GPT, deleting just the Ubuntu partition is a bad idea. In both cases, important configurations for GRUB are stored in the respective OS partitions, while most (MBR) or all (GPT) of the actual bootloader is at the very beginning of the hard drive.
Deleting the Ubuntu partition won't delete GRUB, and will instead cause grub rescue to come up instead. This is why there are so many questions about removing Ubuntu and keeping Windows or removing Ubuntu and installing Windows: GRUB doesn't like to let go of the drive.

This leads me to the second part of your question:

And does it get removed when you format & delete the partitions of Ubuntu?

Through the power of editing and lack of memory, I seem to have answered this above.

You seem to have a bit of a misunderstanding about what MBR is and what GRUB is. Hopefully, I've fixed that and answered your question as well.

A:
Where is MBR (GRUB) located, it's inside a partition?

No, it's not located inside a partition. MBR (Master Boot Record) is the first sector of a disk, so it is 512 bytes on a 512 bytes-sectored disk.
Just to note, the first sector of a partition is actually called Partition Boot Record or Volume Boot Record.

does it get removed when you format & delete the partitions of Ubuntu?

No, MBR is not removed when you delete partitions as it is located outside the partition range, the partition table would be updated accordingly though in such operation(s).

A: With my understanding of MBR & Grub this is sort of a multipart answer. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
The MBR itself exists in 512 bytes of the 1st sector (Sector 0) of a hard drive, outside a partition space. The MBR is loaded with the boot.img file, and the boot.img file's only function is to load core.img.
The core.img exists in the next 32k of disk space (between sector's 1-63).  This also exists outside a partitioned area.  The core.img is made up of the diskboot.img (depending on the boot method), kernel.img, and the video & file system modules required to display messages & mount the /boot partition.  The core.img mounts the /boot partition & read's the grub.cfg & starts the GRUB menu system.
So with my understanding you wouldn't delete Grub itself by removing the /boot partition but the *.cfg file core.img use's to start it.

Snail White Whipp Soap, Créme Body Wash, and Moisture Rich Facial Cream review.
Everything Kris Aquino touches turns into gold; that's a fact; she's turned around a lot of products and businesses like, Snail White. In one of her vlogs, when she revealed that Snail White Whipp Soap is her most favorite soap, she instantly generated demand that online shops began selling the product and began running out of stocks too. With that media power comes great opportunity so Kris herself brought to the country Snail White; smart move, I must say! Let's see if she can turn this gold into a gold mine!
I've been trying the product for about two weeks and here's what I think about it.
For starters, Snail White is a skin care brand from Thailand. It's a simple and sweet skin care collection with a body wash (2 sizes), facial wash, soap, sunscreen, and face cream. The range is powered by Snail Secretion Filtrate/Snail Mucin. The brand is called Snail White, but there's only one product in the range that straightforwardly admits that it's for whitening while the rest are for moisturizing and brightening; if you're into whitening, this may be okay, but there are other brands out there that specifically delivers that benefit.
Créme Body Wash has two variants: Deep Moisture with Baobab extract and Natural White with Caviar Lime.
The body wash has a rich, thick consistency; a little amount is enough to create a rich lather; what I find amazing with this formula is despite the rich lather, it doesn't make the skin feel dry.
In the bottle, Baobab smells amazing; like chocolate mint, but I find that this fragrance doesn't translate well to the body. Caviar Lime smells okay in the bottle, but smells amazing on the body that's why I prefer this. Baobab is a good moisturizing ingredient though.
Moisture Facial Cream contains a high concentration of Snail Secretion Filtrate for long- lasting hydration; the all-in-one formula promises to rejuvenate, smooth, firm, and nourish the skin as well as diminish fine lines and boost collagen production.
The cream has a goopy, jelly- like consistency that is best applied by tapping it on the skin; given the benefits and texture, this, to me, functions more like a serum and cream: it has the delivery system of a cream and benefits of a serum.
I like that this moisturizer/serum is packed with benefits and works great under makeup, plus keeps my skin moisturized the whole day without the greasy feel; it's actually great for any skin type, even oily skin. No breakout with the cream and a little goes a long way!
Now we're down to Kris Aquino's fave! Whipp Soap is a highly moisturizing soap that promises to cleanse and moisturize the skin.
Ingredients feature Bearberry extract that promises to brighten the skin, Blackcurrant, Sunflower, and Balloon Vine seed oil to soothe sensitive areas, and Hyaluronsan to hydrate and refresh the skin.
The soap comes with a foaming net with the soap housed inside; it gave the soap two benefits immediately: exfoliation and cleansing. It's actually a good way to minimize our impact on nature because with this soap, we don't have to buy a separate loofah any longer and it can be recycled for use with other soaps.
The soap has a soft, slightly creamy texture when dry; it immediately gives you the feeling that it's highly moisturizing.
The soap lathers up instantly, thanks to the foaming net and it produces a rich foam with an almost lotion- like texture, thanks to the high concentration of Snail Secretion Filtrate. It's non- drying, I must say and I'd like to call it soapy lotion!
I suppose Whipp Soap is for the body because there's a facial cleanser offered by the range, but it doesn't specifically say that it can't be used on the face. I used the soap on my face and it's very moisturizing, I must say, and it didn't leave my face dry; it's actually a good dupe for Shiseido Perfect Whip facial foam. Sometimes, I use the soap in the net to get some exfoliation action going on. However, I got a pimple after my third usage so I say test it out first if you have sensitive skin. Now I use it on the body and it's working well.
I told myself that I will go back to using soap on my body if I can find one that's rich and highly moisturizing, and thankfully, here's Snail White Whipp soap. I like the soap as well as the body wash in Caviar Lime and Moisture Facial Cream. Snail White is great for those with dry skin, combination skin, and for those who dislike that taut, dry feeling on the skin.
Snail White is available at Beauty MNL and Watsons stores.

This seems interesting! Although personally, I don't like lightening my skin. I'm proud of my medium skin tone. However, I've recently been using Kojie JUST to lighten the sun damaged areas of my skin (pinapantay ko lang yung kulay ng arms ko sa shoulders ko). This sounds like a good product for me trying to even out my exposed skin.

French republic hails UCT scholar
Of the highest order: Assoc Prof Anny Wynchank has been inducted into the French Order of the Palmes Académiques.
France has inducted UCT's Associate Professor Anny Wynchank into its order of the Palmes Académiques, one of the country's illustrious Orders of Merit.
The award, which now makes Wynchank a Chevalier of the Order of the Palmes Académiques, is made for services to education, and the premier acclaim made to French educators and scholars. The order of the Palmes Académiques is the educational equivalent of Orders such as the French Legion of Honour.
The French ambassador, Jean Felix-Paganon, presented the order's official medallion to Wynchank at a recent reception at his residence in Newlands. The award was made in recognition of Wynchank's work to forge closer ties between South Africa and francophone Africa via the French government.
Born in Morocco and a graduate of the University of Bordeaux in France, and, after studying at Oxford in the UK and Columbia in the US, Wynchank arrived in South Africa with her husband, Dr Sinclair Wynchank, in 1972. She completed her doctoral studies at UCT and started lecturing here in 1975.
Although her previous research had concentrated on comparative literature, UCT had no such programme running at the time, and so Wynchank taught instead, for the first few years, French literature of the last few centuries. Until 1981, that is, when - thanks to the support of her then dean, Professor Mitchell Shackleton - she pioneered courses in African literature and studies, paying particular attention to francophone West Africa. This was at a time when there was very little interest in such fields, noted Wynchank. Her students, however, "lapped it up and were groundbreakers in many ways", she said.
"We were talking about issues that were pertinent in the eighties. My students, even then, knew Haiti was the first black republic in the world. They knew that because of literature."
In 1994, Wynchank also introduced studies on black cinema from the Francophone regions. Back then, however, these films were only available in unwieldy 35mm format, and only in France. Which meant that Wynchank had to pick up the bulky containers from the French embassy, and then lug them to her car and from there to wherever it was screened.
There were rewards, though, such as an invitation to Burkina Faso for the 1999 Festival Panafricain du Cinéma de Ouagadougou (FESPACO), the largest black film festival in the world, and an appointment as jury member to the M-Net All Africa Film Awards. Wynchank even got Djibril Diop Mambéty, the director of African classics like Little Girl Who Sold the Sun, Hyenas and Touki Bouki, to speak to her classes at UCT. Later, she also wrote a book on the late Senegalese filmmaker.
Now retired, the "cycling professor" - she still steadfastly pushes her way up the hill every day on her trusty bicycle - serves as senior research associate in the French studies section. Her quarters are smaller these days and she receives no salary from UCT, but this is a small price to pay for the privilege to teach, write, do research and - when funding can be found - wing her way to conferences, such as a recent one in Paris.
"What is nice is that I can now do what I enjoy and like," she said. "And even if I'm not paid, it's what I would choose to do."

A Birmingham Bombing Survivor Comes of Age during the Civil Rights Movement
by Carolyn McKinstry
and Denise George
View All e-Books Deals
On September 15, 1963, a Klan-planted bomb went off in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Fourteen-year-old Carolyn Maull was just a few feet away when the bomb exploded, killing four of her friends in the girl's restroom she had just exited. It was one of the seminal moments in the Civil Rights movement, a sad day in American history . . . and the turning point in a young girl's life.
While the World Watched is a poignant and gripping eyewitness account of life in the Jim Crow South: from the bombings, riots, and assassinations to the historic marches and triumphs that characterized the Civil Rights movement.
A uniquely moving exploration of how racial relations have evolved over the past 5 decades, While the World Watched is an incredible testament to how far we've come and how far we have yet to go.

"Lift Yourself" is a song by American rapper Kanye West. West wrote the song alongside James Massie and Ben Winters, and produced it with additional production from Mike Dean. The song was debuted on April 27, 2018, through West's website and was released by GOOD Music and Def Jam three days later for digital download and streaming as a standalone single. The first release of new music from West since his seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo (2016), it was perceived by numerous fans and publications to be him trolling them. The song samples Amnesty's "Liberty" and Dancer's "Boom Boom". Following a long build-up, West scats towards the end of the song, rapping nonsensical words.

"Lift Yourself" received mixed to negative reviews from music critics, many of whom panned the lyrics and dismissed the song for lacking seriousness. Some praised the production, while a few critics expressed more positive feelings towards West's troll performance. The song peaked at number two on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, while also appearing on charts in Ireland, New Zealand, and Sweden. West and the Sunday Service Choir performed it live on multiple occasions in 2019, including a performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Smokepurpp released his remix of the song in April 2018, which West approved of. The following month, Pusha T confirmed the existence of a version of the song that has proper lyrics but has not yet been released.

Background and development

"Lift Yourself" samples the guitar and vocal demo recording "Liberty" by American funk group Amnesty, who had re-issued a number of their recordings through Now-Again Records by 2018, including the compilation album Free Your Mind: The 700 West Sessions (2007). The record label has an affiliation with Stones Throw Records, which American musician Madlib is signed to; he worked with West on the latter's seventh studio album The Life of Pablo (2016). Now-Again founder Eothen "Egon" Alapatt licensed the usage of "Liberty" for West, following on from him having previously cleared a sample of Amnesty's work for frequent West collaborator Jay-Z's song "F.U.T.W." in 2013. Alapatt admitted that he found out about the track "five hours before it went live" and recalled having to "pre-clear a song I didn't hear, and expect to work out the details later in a way that was equitable to everybody." He continued, remembering "listening to ['Lift Yourself'] that evening" and being like, "You've got to be kidding me." Alapatt stated he thought to himself that he "just said yes to an internet troll, and no one's gonna get paid, and it's gonna be a complete nightmare," but believed things turned out to be "cool" in the end. Although he found "Liberty" on a demo tape in 2001 and later released it on Free Your Mind: The 700 West Sessions, Alapatt did not recognize how great the recording was until West sampled it.

Shortly before the release of "Lift Yourself", West announced the track via Twitter. As part of the announcement, he used fire emojis to represent the track's "bars", promising to put out a song with a verse that will bring Hot 97 radio disc jockey Ebro Darden "the closure he's been seeking;" this promise was made after Darden had recently criticized West for his right-wing political views. Due to marking the first song dropped by West for a while, the April 2018 release of the track ignited excitement. However, after listening, the track sparked fans and multiple publications, including Pitchfork, Uproxx, Good Morning America, and XXL, to believe that West was trolling them. In response to the track, Darden tweeted: "We already knew you was #TrollYeWest." The track was produced by West, with additional production from Mike Dean. West co-wrote it with James Massie and Ben Winters.

GOOD Music president Pusha T revealed on May 25, 2018 that a version of "Lift Yourself" with "real other lyrics" exists and may be released on West's then-upcoming album. Pusha T continued, voicing the belief the track's beat being "so fire" demonstrates West's "level of confidence and arrogance," and recalled that during the creation of the released version, West was like, "You know what? I'mma throw this out and show them what I think of all that. It's nothing." In September 2018, West admitted Canadian rapper Drake had some ill feelings towards him because he used the beat for "Lift Yourself" that Drake originally wanted. West stated that he should have given Drake an opportunity before releasing the final version and also apologized to him over their falling out, which was led to by West's usage of the beat and his role in Pusha T's feud with Drake.

Composition and lyrics

Musically, "Lift Yourself" is an avant-garde track, which features scatting from West. For the first two minutes of the song, a chopped up sample of "Liberty" by Amnesty is used to construct its lyrics and melody. The sample speeds Amnesty's vocals up, being reminiscent of West's early production work with the speed alteration technique. "Lift Yourself" also includes a sample of "Boom-Boom" (1987) by Dancer. The song features drum programming, which was contributed by Benji B. After "Liberty" is sampled for roughly two minutes, "Lift Yourself" transitions into West's performance during the remainder, with him delivering it in around 30 seconds close to the end of the song.

Before West's verse starts, he assures listeners that it is going to be great, warning them to "watch this shit go." In West's verse, he utters nonsensical phrases based around the words poop, scoop, and whoop. West's verse includes him saying, "Whoopdedy-scoop, whoopdedy-whoop-scoop-poop, poop, poop," and the song abruptly ends after the verse. The editors' notes on iTunes questioned whether the song is meant as inspiration or an inside joke by West.

Release and reception

West tweeted out a link to his website on April 27, 2018. Once the website loaded, it played the track's MP3 file. "Lift Yourself" marked West's first piece of new music since The Life of Pablo in 2016. It was released for digital download and streaming as a single on April 30, 2018. The track was met with mixed to negative reviews from music critics, who often criticized its lack of seriousness. Alex Young was highly negative in Consequence of Sound, saying the track is "not really a song so much as a musical poop joke," panning West's performance. Vultures Frank Guan slammed the song as "terrible" and commented that West "inhabits a theatre of the absurd where scatological squibs count as songs and ignoring your critics constitutes a constructive dialogue with them," citing his position as being obviously stupid. The staff of Dazed analyzed that "Lift Yourself" is "not really a song" and is instead "what appears to be more ephemeral pranking," specifically writing off West's lyrical performance. Pitchfork writers Amanda Wicks and Braudie Blais-Billie noted "Lift Yourself" for being a "strange, gibberish track."

Tom Breihan of Stereogum pointed out that the song is "clearly a goof" but "sort of catchy," though praised the sped-up sample for showing West has been "digging back through his old bag of tricks" and also complimented the "echoing, cavernous, almost dancehall-esque drums." Breihan confessed that the song, along with "Ye vs. the People" and West's political nature being expressed in 2018, demonstrated West had not thought things through. Corbin Reiff from Uproxx called the song an "unapologetic" and "flatulent troll job," but highlighted the "fire" beat and concluded by pointing to "Lift Yourself" as a "massive upgrade" over "Ye vs. the People". In a positive review for Rolling Stone, Christopher R. Weingarten opined that dismissing the track "as the musical version of trollface.jpg is shortsighted and ahistorical." He elaborated by expressing certainty the lyrics "are complete and total jabberwocky" while writing that "immediately washing your hands of them ignores a long, proud, defiantly pop tradition of gibberish in popular music" and questioning, "Where would music be without nonsense?" Weingarten acknowledged the track "may be the first rap song from a major celebrity to truly embrace the aesthetics of SoundCloud rap" and viewed it as "uplifting instead of moody," as well as noting the "classic Eighties sample-chop techniques." XXL author Peter A. Berry lauded the track for West's execution of "one of the best trolls of 2018 thus far," which Berry attributed to the lyrical content.

"Lift Yourself" debuted at number five on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart for the issue dated May 12, 2018, selling 4,000 copies and receiving 7.2 million streams in its first week. The song was outperformed by the debut of West's "Ye vs. the People" that week, which entered at number 85 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The following week, "Lift Yourself" rose three places on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100, peaking at number two. The song lasted for two weeks on the chart. In Sweden, "Lift Yourself" peaked at number 91 on the Sverigetopplistan chart. The song entered at number 94 on the Irish Singles Chart. It further reached number six on the New Zealand Heatseekers chart.

Live performances and other usage

West and his gospel group the Sunday Service Choir performed a rendition of "Lift Yourself" at the group's first concert on January 7, 2019, with the performance beginning at the concert's 4:11 mark. Later that month, the Sunday Service Choir delivered a rendition of the song at their second concert. For a Sunday Service concert on March 17, 2019, West and the group performed a gospel version of the song. During the performance, Kanye's daughter North West started to dance as he leant down while performing. Kanye and the Sunday Service Choir headlined the 2019 Coachella Festival on April 21, coinciding with Easter that year, and performed the song as part of their set. At one point of the performance, Kanye allowed North to deliver certain lyrics from the song, who requested her cousin Penelope Disick to join in while performing.

On April 28, 2018, rapper Smokepurpp shared his remix of "Lift Yourself" via Twitter, later releasing it on SoundCloud and his website. Similarly to Kanye West's performance on the original, Smokepurpp trolls on the remix, which includes him delivering random sounds and ad-libs. He does not make a complete bar or rhyme scheme on it, though mentions fellow rapper J. Cole. West posted the remix to Twitter on the same day as its release, explaining he did not do this "as a diss to J Cole," saying he loves him and "also love[s] where Purp took his flow." West re-used the nonsense "whoop" and "scoop" words from the song on Pusha T's track "What Would Meek Do?", which was released in May 2018 on his third studio album Daytona. The following month, West rapped "scoop" on "Freeee (Ghost Town, Pt. 2)" by Kids See Ghosts, a hip hop duo consisting of him and Kid Cudi, from the duo's eponymous debut studio album. West released "XTCY" as a single in August 2018, which features him alluding to "Lift Yourself" by performing "whoopity-scoop" ad-libs.

How will rising probate fees affect your family?
In a bid to help pay running costs for courts and tribunals a new probate fee system proposes to replace the £215 flat fee with a sliding scale dependent on the value of the estate.
For many people, their main asset is the family home. Rising property prices are likely to cause anxiety when these homes are being passed on.
When you die, and leave property valued over £5000, your relatives must apply to the Probate Registry for a Grant of Probate. As the new rules start at £50,000 anyone with an estate below this will not pay the fee. However, given the average property price in the UK is around £200,000 it is likely many more of us will pay the higher fees when we settle the affairs of our deceased family.
This is why it's important to talk to an adviser and get good estate planning advice. It's a fact that nearly three quarters of the UK population still haven't made a Will. But it's not just about having a Will, it's about having the right Will.

HomeArtsArtist Profiles"A Day in the Life" with Writer, Comedian and Activist Jordan Power
"A Day in the Life" with Writer, Comedian and Activist Jordan Power
November 16, 2019 Joel Levy Artist Profiles, Arts, Performing Arts
When I first met Jordan Power he had no time for me. He's like that with everyone at first. If you are one of the few to get him to lower his guard you begin to understand, he's a very complex person with a big heart. He's misunderstood in a lot of ways. If he likes you, he'll do anything for you.
We decided to start this podcast after a few drinks because we witnessed immeasurable pain in gay men. In many ways, it has gotten better but it's not even close to parity.
Jordan spent the large majority of his 20s in a state of perpetual anxiety. We both made horrible choices in men. But it is these moments that provide comic levity and have taught us lessons we share with our listeners.
The podcast was first launched in March and I think we had less than 200 downloads. Then the downloads doubled every week. Since then we've had close to half a million downloads in over 50 countries. We have thousands of listeners in countries where it's not ok to be gay. We've interviewed ex-boyfriends, one-night stands, strippers, former illegal immigrants, and even a man who pooped on a plate for $700 cash.
I attribute a lot of the growth to Jordan's seemingly endless work ethic. He doesn't watch TV or socialize too often. He works around the clock coming up with content ideas, guest ideas, responding to fans, and studying low cost ways to increase the footprint of the podcast. He is fearless and resilient with a dedication to improving his craft in broadcasting. At times he kind of revels in that fact that he shakes people up and pisses them off. He's a free thinker through and through. He has said to me many times that you're never going to achieve greatness if you prioritize being liked.
Since the podcast has started we've received 100s of emails from people who have come out of the closet including a catholic priest. We've practiced radical self-disclosure and we find the vulnerability is disarming. It allows us to connect with people beyond a superficial level. Neither of us is playing a character or playing it safe. Our podcast is real and very honest.
In 2020, we'll be going on an eight-city tour. I don't think this has been done for a podcast like ours so it's incredibly exciting. We also have a big base in London and Australia so we shall see how that grows.
We both feel we've largely eliminated the last residual gay shame we have. We are proud gay men who are sexually liberated, and hope others can join us.

Jordan Power – Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with a joke in my head and I write it in my phone. This is one of those that I posted to Instagram.
Jordan Power – Fresh fade from a Barber near my place. I got my sides cleaned up every two weeks. I find it slims out the face more and lets the bone structure pop. The barbershop can be a machismo environment. Sometimes I hear sexist comments and my feminist side feels fury.
I never thought I'd be a guy who regularly praises Barry's Bootcamp. The branding didn't agree with me in the beginning. But I love it. It has made drastic changes to my body and after working out there I feel centred and happy for hours.
A waterfront detour walk on the way home.
This is the manuscript of my book. The book is done but I want to rewrite it again. It needs work. It's too "jokey" and needs to be more linear.
I'm at Starbucks working on my book. I can't write at home. Sometimes I can churn out small bits in bed. Plus, I'm in the post workout euphoria of Barry's Bootcamp and that's my sweet spot for writing. I usually get a four-hour post workout window.
Jordan Power – This is my nephew Cole. He is a jolt of serotonin. I can stare at him doing nothing for hours. I don't personally want kids, but I love being an Uncle. Part time commitment is the name of the game. Plus…look at those cheeks!
Jordan Power – We almost always record the podcast late at night. Usually on Sundays or Fridays. This is my co-hosts apartment/our makeshift studio. Podcasts are incredible in that you have no constraints at play. Global reach, no set format, a lack of censorship. It's one of the last bastions of free thought and it very much suits me.
I am a writer, gay activist, and the co-host of Shame On You Podcast, unapologetic guide to zero gay shame.
I'm finishing my first book titled, "My Therapist Sent Me Nudes, as well as recording new episodes of our podcast. We also just built a Patreon for those who want access to Bonus content. (patreon.com/shameonyou). We totally underestimated all that goes into a weekly show. Guest research, booking, editing, advertising/marketing, PR, tour booking and more. Whenever anyone asks me for advice on launching a successful podcast I just discourage them from doing it. There are over 750,000 so you better have a niche and be willing to take very large risks. That being said, it gives me immeasurable purpose and I can't imagine our lives without it now.
My book will be coming out late in 2020. New episodes of our podcast come out every Thursday. We're also currently planning our 2020 North American Tour hitting 8 cities. We will be at Rivoli in Toronto November 21st. Doors 8pm. Our live shows are the ones where we take larger risks as they're paywalled.

Historic schoolhouses inspire Milwaukee painter
When Milwaukee artist Ariana Huggett started to leak out images of the paintings for her upcoming show, "Old Schools" - on view Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 19-20, in conjunction with Doors Open Milwaukee, at the Material Studios + Gallery in the Third Ward - a lot of folks took notice.
By Bobby Tanzilo Senior Editor/Writer Published Sep 17, 2015 at 1:03 PM
My passion for Milwaukee's old schoolhouses is no secret to OnMilwaukee readers. It's a subject I've explored extensively and I've even written a book about these landmark neighborhood buildings.
But I'm not the only one. When Milwaukee artist Ariana Huggett started to leak out images of the paintings for her upcoming show, "Old Schools" – on view Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 19-20, to coincide with Doors Open Milwaukee, at the Material Studios + Gallery, 209 E. Buffalo St. in the Third Ward – a lot of folks took notice.
The series began with a series of seven paintings commissioned as a birthday gift for a spouse, but has since grown to include more schools. Now, at least two of those school communities are raising money to buy their respective paintings to display in their buildings.
I asked Huggett about her inspiration to paint the buildings and what she's learned along the way.
OnMilwaukee: Can you tell me what inspired you to paint the schools?
Ariana Huggett: Last fall I was invited to take on a commission with the only stipulation being that it feature the exterior of a historic Milwaukee building. It was pretty wide open for me. The focus of my artistic practice in recent years has primarily been interiors, so I was intrigued by the challenge and it got me thinking about the buildings that I pay attention to.
I became aware of numerous public schools while I bicycled across Milwaukee to work in Wauwatosa. One in particular caught my attention, Garfield Street Elementary School. Just down the street a new private religious school expansion was being built while I noticed that this grand old building up the street sat shuttered. It brought home the issue of school privatization for me.
So after thinking about it for a while, and probably after a dog walk past Fratney Escuela in my Riverwest Neighborhood, I proposed to my patron that I paint a historic Milwaukee School Building. After some discussions, it grew to a commission of seven paintings. It's probably around that time that I started doing research on the schools and came across your book at the MPL and your articles for OnMilwaukee.
OnMilwaukee: What have you discovered from painting them?
Huggett: I discovered the amazing commitment that the city once had for public education. Milwaukee is a city with such a rich progressive history. I'm not originally from Milwaukee, but I've now lived here for half my life. The city has so much going for it by virtue of its commons. When I first moved to Wisconsin, I was really impressed with the parks and how great the education system was in the state. I value education and believe that knowledge is the key to empowerment. It breaks my heart to see the gains made during the progressive era being rolled back.
Aesthetically the old school buildings are a powerful presence. They rise up above their neighborhoods with high pitched roofs. They are lavished with amazing details in ornaments and brickwork. They stand as pillars in the community the way the neighborhood churches do. I'm impressed by contributions of artisans and the craftsmanship as well as the fact that many were designed by Milwaukee's star architects of the time.
OnMilwaukee: What did you get out of doing it, from an artistic standpoint?
Huggett: I like history and doing research. I like spending time studying my subject matter and gaining new insights. It's given me a new appreciation of the city. Now when I walk around my neighborhood, I notice what's original to the housing stock and what's been changed. I pay more attention to the architecture of the city in general. One of the elements I've come to appreciate about these buildings is the attention to line and visual play that run through their structure and decorative elements.
OnMilwaukee: Will you do more?
Huggett: I think so.
OnMilwaukee: Any favorites in the series?
Huggett: That's tough because I like them for different reasons, and I almost always like the most recent painting the best. Eight of the paintings are studio paintings and three were done on location – 5th Street, Fratney (pictured above) and Maryland Avenue Montessori. The studio paintings are more involved due to size and the composite element. I'm pretty happy about the shift from night to dawn in the painting of Kagel and the gothic feel of The Jefferson School (pictured below) thanks to the scraggly trees in front of the Best Place.
I'd never painted a building on fire before, so the Garfield School was fun and it's dramatic. I was drawn to 37th Street School from the get-go even though I heard it disparaged at your panel forum last December. I think it's a well proportioned building that's elegant in its simplicity. It probably appeals to my modernist training. That building in particular strikes me as rather tragic.
OnMilwaukee: How did you decide to approach some like Garfield as history paintings and others more straightforwardly, for lack of a better word.
Huggett: You've mentioned school fires in your book and in articles. I have a copy of the original plan of Garfield that came from the MPS archives. I also have a copy of a photo from 1927. If you compare the way it looks now to the plan, you'll see that it's been altered and in that old photo you can see a difference in the patina of the bricks. The front middle section has three peaks. It looks pretty silly. If you look at the plan, that section is more like Kagel or Golda Meir with a singular tall peak and a cupola. I figured it was altered after the fire and it must have occurred before 1927 when that photo was taken. With that one in particular, I was having difficulty wrapping my brain around how to approach it with the way it looks now combined with the way it might have looked before the fire. Painting it on fire was the solution.
About the three that were made on location, they were painted after I completed the first seven commissioned paintings. The commissioned paintings were started last fall and I worked on them over the winter months into early spring. Just in time for good weather! I really enjoy painting from life. It's an immersive experience that's different from the studio process. When I paint from life I'm responding to and interpreting what's in front of me. I would like to do another painting of Maryland Avenue Montessori because it has so many great vantage points – maybe a composite.
OnMilwaukee: I noticed too that some, like Vieau, include different touches like the year it was built.
Huggett: As you know, many of the buildings have amazing details. If I just presented the whole building, a sense of the attention to detail would be lost. It was a way for me to give more information about the building. People who've know the evolution of my work over the years have commented on how these paintings loop back to earlier concerns of mine. I love ornamentation and pattern, so it was a great opportunity for me to integrate these types of visual elements back into my work.

I am pretty sure that the rotating train seats are fairly standard, or at least they were back then. Their purpose of course was to enable travellers to face one another if they so desired. I always found that if you got a good release, you could put a small child into the next seat just by turning him into a projectile, launched airborne by the seat abruptly locking into position!

Brotherly Ukraine Answers Back
Volodymyr Zelenskiy's use of soft power can cause the Kremlin problems.
The delight in Moscow at seeing the back of Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko has not lasted long.
In Volodymyr Zelenskiy the Russian leadership got the kind of Ukrainian leader it said it wanted—a Russian speaker from outside the old political elite, who talked more emollient language about the Donbass conflict. Some corresponding Western comments portrayed a Zelenskiy win as a victory for the Kremlin.
De Waal is a senior fellow with Carnegie Europe, specializing in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region.
@Tom_deWaal
This notion vanished on first contact with reality. In his first victory speech, Zelenskiy encouraged Russian voters to wake from their slumbers, saying, "as a citizen of Ukraine, I can say to all countries in the post-Soviet Union look at us. Anything is possible!" The warmest response in Russia to Zelenskiy's victory came not from the Kremlin but from opposition leader Alexei Navalny (the two men are almost exact contemporaries) who praised Ukrainians for their exercise in democracy.
Putin followed up with an extreme provocation, offering Russian passports to residents of the two Moscow-backed breakaway territories in eastern Ukraine. In answer to this, outgoing Petro Poroshenko would probably have doubled down on patriotic rhetoric. In the first shot of what has been called a game of state-level ping-pong, Zelenskiy's response was masterful. He announced that he was offering Ukrainian passports to dissident Russians, then, in a measured Facebook post, told Russians why his was a much better offer than Putin's.
"Ukraine is different in particular because we Ukrainians have freedom of speech, a free media, and internet in our country. Which is why we clearly understand what a Russian passport really offers someone: the right to be arrested for a peaceful protest; the right to not have free and competitive elections; the right to forget about your natural rights and human freedoms."
The medium was as important as the message itself, being conveyed in both Ukrainian and Russian.
Ukraine's language politics since independence has been, to put it mildly, a mess. Under Poroshenko there has been a new push to cement Ukrainian as the language of the state, while offering far too little to the millions who still speak Russian by choice. A new language law, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, on April 26, made use of the Ukrainian language in public places, businesses, the media, and education mandatory. Zelenskiy was critical, saying that "the government should enable development of the Ukrainian language by establishing stimuli and positive examples, and not bans and punishments."
A native of eastern Ukraine, Zelenskiy belongs to the social group that mixes the two languages freely, who do not like Russia but still speak it as their first language of choice. In "Servant of the People," the sitcom that propelled him to the presidency, most of the characters speak Russian, while switching back and forth to Ukrainian.
Essentially this is a rejection of the flawed notion, shared by both Ukrainian nationalists and Russian politicians, that using the Russian language in Ukraine constitutes a political affiliation to Russia.
If he gets the chance, we can expect Zelenskiy to promote a more nuanced language policy, promoting Ukrainian as the state language but without seeking to penalize use of Russian.
How much does this matter? Raw power matters more, people will say, and Russian military hardware is still in the Donbass. The Russian establishment will find ways of undermining Zelenskiy. No doubt we will hear a Russian media message that the new president is "hostage" of establishment hardlines.
It does matter, however, because Ukraine policy in Russia is about more than the elite. The public has a view too, and consistently a more pacific one than its leaders. Since 2014, Putin has spun the idea that Russia is an embattled fortress, with Ukraine its most hostile frontline state. The message is that "brotherly Ukraine" was captured in a coup d'état by pro-Western stooges who are trying to drag their country into NATO and oppress its Russian speakers.
Putin told American correspondent Charlie Rose in 2015, "[Ukraine] is our closest neighbor. We've always said that this is our sister country…What I believe is absolutely unacceptable is the resolution of internal political issues in the former USSR Republics, through "color revolutions," through coup d'état, through unconstitutional removal of power."
A smiling Ukrainian leader, with a big democratic mandate, rejecting Russian state aggression but reaching out to the Russian public in its own language, makes a mockery of this narrative.
The evolution of Georgia since 2012, the year it voted out the party of Mikheil Saakashvili, is an interesting precedent.
The Georgian Dream government has fashioned a fairly successful dual-track policy of distinguishing between the Russian political elite and Russian society as a whole. On a high state level, since the 2008 war, Tbilisi has kept diplomatic relations with Moscow suspended and defended its red lines on Abkhazia and South Ossetia. But Georgia's recent leaders have refrained from Saakashvili's inflammatory rhetoric and have cultivated trade and tourism. Up to one million Russian tourists visited Georgia last year.
Russian attitudes to Georgia have changed, surely in large part due to this deployment of Georgian charm. Levada Center polls show a precipitate drop in the number of Russians who consider Georgia to be an "enemy country"—from 62 percent in 2009 to 8 percent in 2018.
The Kremlin can still try and pick a fight with Georgia, and intervene in Ukraine, but it is not going to win any votes by doing so.
To put it another way, on a modest level in Georgia and perhaps now in Ukraine, Putin's regime is dealing with a new phenomenon—soft power from its neighbors. Beware brotherly Ukraine!


How's that for a ridiculous blog post title? Needless to say, I'm no world renowned writer!!
It's just plain ridiculous. I've been working like a crazy person to get stuff ready for a craft show on Saturday. Now, I'm not doing the craft show. While that's somewhat a relief because I can slow down a bit, I still have all this STUFF! So I took the majority of it to the shop where I have a booth yesterday...hence the SU bag on my chair (that was my carry all yesterday). So today I'm going to clean up a bit and then crank out some Christmas cards. Most have been farmed out to the shop, so I need more for my Etsy store. Also for my local Avon store, who allow me to have some cards there as well.
And if you're wondering why I would even post a picture of this mess, it's all thanks to the wonderful Julia at Stamping Ground. It's our weekly romp around the globe to visit other messy creative work spaces!
On another note, have you heard of Pick Your Plum? It's an awesome website that has new and fun items and ridiculous prices each weekday. Today they have these super cool striped straws in four different colors. Reminds me of an old fashioned soda shop or something. If you're interested, click through via my link and check it out: Pick Your Plum. There's also a pic below you can click on, or in the right sidebar on my blog.
Do you all have business/fan pages on Facebook? I started one recently and it could use some "Like" love. If you're interested, click on the link below and pop on over to "Like" my page. If you want me to do the same for yours, post your link in a comment and I'll be sure to hop on over there!!
You have some wonderful light in your room! I have a paper cutter just like yours! Have a wonderful week!


April 8, 2003: If there is a greater challenge to an actor than playing Shakespeare, it's the challenge of playing two very different Shakespearean roles — one tragic, one comic — in the space of 24 hours. But that's just what Mrs. Smile does every weekend at the Bowery poetry club.
An asset to your company, indeed.

Law and arrangement of execution of law developed with the development of progress
Law and arrangement of execution of law developed with the development of progress. The Greeks had built up their own laws. The Romans, who appreciated the Greeks, consolidated a few parts of Greek law into their first law code, 'The Ten Tables'. The Ten Tables turned into the premise of Roman law and, with the extension of the Roman Domain, parts of Roman law spread to the territories of the Realm that included Europe, parts of Africa and West Asia. Under Head Justinian, the Roman law was again arranged. Code of Justinian was a piece of medieval legitimate examinations in most western colleges. At the point when Rome fell and new states developed in their places, Roman impact and Roman law couldn't be abstained from. At the point when these European countries became solid and set up their colones in Africa, Asia and America, their arrangement of organization (that incorporated their legitimate framework) spread to these colones. In this way the arrangement of law that developed in Asia and Africa had the impact of European law that itself was affected by Roman and Greek laws. Thus it is said that the Romans are the law suppliers of the world. Greece additionally comes into the photo as early Roman law was especially affected by Greek laws.

As in adult central line associated blood-stream infection (CLABSI) prevention, adherence to evidence-based safety practices can lower the rate of and even eliminate pediatric CLABSI. However, the presence of central line catheters (CVCs) in children carry unique challenges.
Pediatric catheters are smaller than adult catheters and more prone to complication.
Child anatomy is smaller than adult anatomy, which leads to difficulties with dressings and the locations of insertion sites.
CVCs in children have a high potential for extravasation and line migration.
Pediatric CVCs require special attention due to the age diversity of children, their constant motion, and the difficulties of maintaining proper catheter hygiene.
As a private, not-for-proft pediatric healthcare network, Children's Hospital Colorado is 100% dedicated to caring for kids at all ages and stages of growth. With more than 3,000 pediatric specialists and more than 5,000 full-time employees, the hospital provides comprehensive pediatric care at the Anschutz Medical Campus inAurora and several locations throughout the region.

Mass Casualty Incidents Prior To The Death Of Pope: 375 Dead In Typhoon Rai
"God will abandon mankind to itself and will send punishments which will follow one after the other for more than thirty-five years. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)

375 people are confirmed dead after 168mph Typhoon Rai battered the Philippines, leaving many survivors pleading for food and water
The death toll following the strongest typhoon to batter the Philippines this year has risen to a total of 375, with 52 other people still missing and several central towns and provinces grappling with downed communications and power outages and pleading for food and water, officials said Monday. At its strongest, Typhoon Rai packed sustained winds of 121 miles per hour and gusts of up to 168 mph before it blew out Friday into the South China Sea. At least 375 people were killed, 52 remained missing and 239 were injured, according to the national police. The toll was expected to increase because several towns and villages remained out of reach due to downed communications and power outages although massive clean-up and repair efforts were underway. Many died due to falling trees and collapsing walls, flash flood and landslides. A 57-year-old man was found dead hanging from a tree branch and a woman was blown away by the wind and died in Negros Occidental province, police said.Governor Arlene Bag-ao of Dinagat Islands, among the southeastern provinces first hit by the typhoon, said Rai's ferocity on her island province of more than 130,000 was worse than that of Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful and deadliest typhoons on record and which devastated the central Philippines in November 2013 but did not inflict any casualties in Dinagat.
'If it was like being in a washing machine before, this time there was like a huge monster that smashed itself everywhere, grabbed anything like trees and tin roofs and then hurled them everywhere,' Bag-ao said. 'The wind was swirling north to south to east and west repeatedly for six hours. Some tin roof sheets were blown away then were tossed back.' At least 14 villagers died and more than 100 others were injured by flying tin roofs, debris and glass shards and were treated in makeshift surgery rooms in damaged hospitals in Dinagat, Bag-ao said. Many more would have died if thousands of residents had not been evacuated from high-risk villages. Like several other typhoon-hit provinces, Dinagat remained without electricity and communications and many residents in the province, where the roofs of most houses and buildings were ripped off, needed construction materials, food and water. Bag-ao and other provincial officials traveled to nearby regions that had cellphone signals to seek aid and coordinate recovery efforts with the national government. Source
Mass Casualty Incidents will start to be a thing now that one of the Two Popes will die soon.
You will see more of these Mass Casualty Incidents up until the death of the Pope.
No one is talking about these coming Mass Casualty Incidents...yet...but they will soon.
These Horrible Mass Casualty Incidents will be the latest trend.
As usual this is the first blog to take notice - others will follow once they read this post....as always....

Globe-trotting Tesla Roadster reaches Moscow
Tag Heuer sponsors the first around-the-world trip for an electric car with the Tesla Roadster.
Wayne Cunningham
April 30, 2010 5:46 PM PDT
The Tesla Roadster parks in Moscow's Red Square. Tesla
Tesla Motors, in an effort to show off the practical nature of its electric cars, sent one of its Roadsters around the world.
Starting in Geneva during the Geneva auto show in mid-March, the Roadster has crossed Europe, and will be continuing on through India and China. After a run across the U.S., starting in Los Angeles and ending up in New York, the Roadster goes back to Europe, with the finish line in Paris on September 28, timed to coincide with the Paris auto show.
The trip, sponsored by Tag Heuer, qualifies as the first around-the-world trip by a pure electric car. You can follow the Tesla Roadster's progress on Tag Heuer's Odyssey of Pioneers Web site.
Tesla boasts that the Roadster has been charging up during stops from conventional electrical infrastructure in Europe, including at hotels, a barn, and a solar array in Italy.

Q: Instance of a non-templated class using templated constructor interpreted as a function definition? My issue is best demonstrated by the following code:
#include <fstream>
#include <iterator>

class Bar
{
    public: template <class Iterator> Bar(Iterator first, Iterator last) {}
};

void foo(const Bar& bar) { }

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    std::ifstream file("file.txt");

    Bar bar(std::istream_iterator<char>(file), std::istream_iterator<char>());

    foo(bar); // error C2664: 'foo' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'Bar (__cdecl *)(std::istream_iterator<_Ty>,std::istream_iterator<_Ty> (__cdecl *)(void))' to 'const Bar &'
              // with
              // [
              //     _Ty=char
              // ]
              // Reason: cannot convert from 'overloaded-function' to 'const Bar'
              // No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous

    return 0;
};

Here are some similar instantiations  of bar that don't cause the same ambiguity:
Bar bar = Bar(std::istream_iterator<char>(file), std::istream_iterator<char>());

and
std::istream_iterator<char> start(file);
std::istream_iterator<char> end;
Bar bar(start, end);

My question is, what is it about the first declaration of bar that causes it to be misinterpreted?
note: I'm testing with Visual Studio 2010 (10.0.30319.1)

A: I think it is related to "C++ most vexing parse" that you will find in Meyer's Effective STL book.

 Bar bar(std::istream_iterator&lt char &gt(file), std::istream_iterator &lt char &gt());

Is being considered as a **function declaration.**

due to which in foo(bar); you are sending a function pointer instead :)

Doing like below will have no error:

Bar bar = Bar(//your arguments here);
foo(bar);

A: ArunMu gets partial credit, it is indeed an example of Most Vexing Parse, but that term was coined in Meyer's Effective STL (Chapter 1, Item 6) not Exceptional C++.
It is being interpreted as a function pointer (the (__cdecl *) portion of the error is a dead give away), and apparently the C++ standard requires it to be interpreted that way. Does anyone have a chapter/verse citation for that?
There is also a another solution to provide a disambiguation.  Adding an additional set of parenthesis around each parameter works too:
Bar bar( (std::istream_iterator<char>(file)), (std::istream_iterator<char>()) );

It's also worth pointing out that the issue is unrelated to the templates, as I had originally thought.

Jürgen Ponto (Bad Nauheim, 17 de dezembro de 1923 — Oberursel, 30 de julho de 1977) foi um banqueiro alemão, presidente do Dresdner Bank, assassinado pela organização extremista Fração do Exército Vermelho (RAF) ou Grupo Baader-Meinhof.

Ponto foi morto em sua villa nas proximidades de Frankfurt, quando preparava-se para sair de férias para o Rio de Janeiro, na tarde de 30 de julho de 1977. Enquanto ele e sua mulher faziam as malas, receberam a visita de Susanne Albrecht, filha de amigos íntimos da família Ponto, acompanhada de dois desconhecidos. Os outros visitantes eram  Brigitte Mohnhaupt e Christian Klar, dirigentes do grupo Baader-Meinhof, também integrado por Susanne, que antes do atentado chegou a oferecer um buquê de rosas a Ponto e sua esposa, Ignes.

O motivo da inesperada visita era o sequestro de Ponto, que reagiu ao ser rendido por uma arma, sendo fuzilado com cinco tiros. O atentado deu início ao chamado Outono Alemão, um período de cerca de dois meses de grande violência na Alemanha Ocidental da época, com mortes e sequestros perpretados pela RAF, que provocaram grande crise política e social no país. Após o atentado, os matadores fugiram e mais tarde o Baader-Meinhof assumiu a responsabilidade por ele sob o nome de Roter Morgen (Manhã Vermelha).

Durante o serviço religioso de Ponto, com a presença de vários dos maiores nomes da indústria e do comércio alemães, um dos presentes, Hanns-Martin Schleyer, Presidente da Confederação da Indústria e da Federação de Empregadores, um dos homens mais poderosos do empresariado alemão, declarou aos presentes que "a próxima vítima do terrorismo quase certamente está aqui de pé nesta sala". Schleyer seria sequestrado e assassinado pela RAF dois meses depois.
