Wingate & Finchley 1 vs Lewes 1: a blow-by-blow account
It's on days like this that a club knows who its true supporters are. With a wind chill of -15 on the train platforms and news of a new variant of The Black Death crackling through the terrace trannies, this was a test.
The Youth Wing are all noise and selfies when it's 18 degrees in the shade and there are Margate microbreweries to be emptied, but when the going gets tough in late November, they're tucked up indoors with TikTok. You go back to your PlayStations, lads, leave the Baltic away days to those of us with an entire wardrobe of Craghoppers fleeces. We'll see you in April.
Even though the away throng were well wrapped up (with the exception of Irish Stu, who seemed to think he was on 18-30s trip to Magaluf), nobody was upset when the teams switched ends for the first half and the Lewes Lunatic Fringe could huddle in the end with a proper stand, rather than the exposed tractor wasteland at the other end.
The game had barely kicked off before plots were being formed to storm the Jack Fisk Stand on the far side for the second half, rather than take our chances with the gale-force elements.

Could we see off the dozen or so Wingate fans who'd already planted their flag in the stand? We'd send Alan and his infamous, eye-catching yellow coat on a decoy run around the far side, whilst the rest of us shuffled in quietly from the rear. Tony and Joe aren't the only ones with a deep tactical knowledge, you know.
Meanwhile, a game of football had broken out. Well, I say a game of football. It was more like a game of Subbuteo played on your nan's wonky kitchen table, because every time the ball was kicked further than a few inches, it was bent in an entirely unnatural direction by the Force Nine blowing across Finchley.
Freddie Parker was playing up front instead of the knacked Joe Taylor, and at least he was being kept warm from the close attention he was receiving from the affectionate Wingate 5, who cuddled Freddie at every opportunity. "Keep an eye on that number 5 ref," yelled one terrace wag, "he's got more arms than The Taliban." We're nothing if not topical.
Lewes slightly shaded the first-half chances. Parker had a low effort blocked, Taylor Maloney forced the Duracell battery in Wingate's goal to warm his hands with a stinging drive, and Michael Klass blasted another long ranger over the bar. At the other end, a wicked, dipping Wingate effort cracked off Lew Carey's bar, just to keep our nerves in check.
Half-time arrived and the operation to swarm the Jack Fisk Stand was Go, Go, Go. Not before a trip to the refreshments kiosk, mind, where we were thrown off guard by a sign promising home-cooked Carribean food.
No offence to Doris and Pat who were manning the kiosk, but they didn't look like Non-League's answer to Levi Roots. And unless the jerk chicken was being masterfully disguised as an ill-looking beefburger, we suspect that sign was intended merely to confuse our hyperthermia-addled minds and prevent us from storming the Jack Fisk.
It didn't work. Operation Fisk was a roaring success, although not without its hairy moments. As we marched down the far end in single file, our route to the Jack Fisk was obstructed by two three-foot gates that required hurdling.
Gary The Badge hasn't had his leg up that high since his honeymoon with the lovely Sandra over 50 years ago, and you could barely hear the referee's whistle for the start of the second half over the noise of hamstrings popping, but we battled on through the wind and the rain. Nice try, Wingate. Nice try.
On the field, the second half was proving more entertaining than the first. Ollie Tanner was clearly feeding off the encouragement from the Lunatic Fringe in the Jack Fisk, as he skedaddled past Wingate's follically-challenged full-back and put in a delightful cross for Parker. Freddie refused the first-time shot and instead slipped a lovely ball into Brad Pritchard's path, who planted the ball into the net to give the Rooks a 56th minute lead.
Alas, the good times lasted only nine minutes. A Wingate free-kick was whipped in from deep in front of the dugouts – where, incidentally, Tony was still sitting on his trademark cool box. I had to scrape the ice off my car to get there. What the hell needs to be kept even cooler? Nuclear rods? Joe Taylor's dire wolf? Chairman Stu's post-match Cinzano? This is a supporter-owned club (according to the adverts), I demand answers.
I digress… The free-kick flashed across our box to find the big Wingate 5, who had stopped cuddling Freddie Parker for just long enough to plant a header into the top corner. 1-1.
The rest of the game passed in a semi-frozen blur. The referee had a shocker (not least when Salmon was wrestled to the floor in their box), both teams had chances to win it, and Mitchell Nelson was intent on scoring the greatest goal of all time, refusing to pass the ball into the maelstrom and instead dribbling his way out of defence at every heart-stopping opportunity. He almost pulled it off once, too, dribbling so far down the right-hand side that Iffy Allen had to be taken off for an untreatable case of jealousy.
Anyway, it was the very definition of a hard-earned point and if the boys didn't hear themselves being clapped off at the end, it's only because Marks & Spencers' wooly gloves are so effectively at muffling the noise.

Q: Manipulating Variables in HTML-Embedded Ruby I'm using embedded Ruby in HTML and am trying to create a new variable; however, this seems to be modifying the HTML formatting over the code even though I am just trying to create a new variable and modify it. It seems like when I manipulate newfood, I am also changing the value stored in "food" (almost in a pass-by-reference way). How can I pass it by value (if possible)?
<% newfood = food%>

<% newfood.gsub!('a','b')%>

A: You can use the clone or dup functions for this.
In your case where food is a string, they will both work.
newfood = food.dup
newfood = food.clone

The functions work a bit different, this is what ruby-doc says:

In general, clone and dup may have different semantics in descendant classes. While clone is used to duplicate an object, including its internal state, dup typically uses the class of the descendant object to create the new instance.

Rand Takes Over Mantle of World's Most Political Currency
November 8, 2016 Business 0
Move over Mexico. With the U.S. election campaign over, South Africa's rand has replaced the peso as the currency poised for the biggest politically driven price swings.
The peso, considered a barometer for investors' views on Donald Trump's chances, has been roiled as the presidential candidate's fortunes ebbed and flowed. Now it's the rand's turn, with a measure of expected volatility over the next three months rising above that of the Mexican currency as the focus shifts to South Africa's President Jacob Zuma and his battle with Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan for control of the country's purse strings.
The rand has closely tracked Zuma's fortunes over the past three months, advancing when his position weakened and selling off when Gordhan seemed threatened. The volatility is significant because it's making the rand a tough trade and rating companies preparing to review the country's creditworthiness have cited political uncertainty as a major risk.
Short-Term Trade
"The rand is a real measure of the political risk premium," said Guillaume Tresca, the Paris-based senior emerging-market strategist at Credit Agricole SA's corporate- and investment-banking unit. "You buy the rand or you sell the rand for nine, 10 days or one week, because you know it can flip very rapidly, just on the politics."
Politics is increasingly becoming a driver of currency moves around the world now that central banks are starting to pull back from monetary stimulus. Turkey's lira slumped to a record last week as police rounded up opposition leaders, while the British pound has weakened more than any other major currency this year as the nation contemplates an exit from the European Union.
When South Africa's Gordhan was charged with fraud on Oct. 11, the rand plunged 4 percent, only to rally 2.8 percent when the charges were withdrawn three weeks later. The currency then jumped 1.1 percent when Zuma dropped a court bid to block the release of a graft ombudsman's report that implicates him in unethical conduct, sparking widespread calls for him to step down.
Three-month implied volatility for the rand versus the dollar, based on the price of options contracts to buy or sell the currency, rose to 19.3 percent on Monday, more than the peso's 17.5 percent and the highest among emerging-market peers, suggesting traders see no end to price fluctuations soon.
"Politics is key, particularly with South Africa on watch and the credit rating agencies still deciding on whether to downgrade South Africa to junk status," said Lee Hardman, a currency strategist at The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ in London. "Certainly, more recently political developments in South Africa have created more volatility for the currency."
Zuma has lurched from crisis to crisis. S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings, which both rate the country's debt at the lowest investment level, are reviewing their assessments in December. Judging by the reaction of the rand, investors believe that Zuma's exit would strengthen Gordhan's hand in his efforts to bring spending and debt under control and avert a debt downgrade to junk, according to Peter Attard Montalto, Africa economist at Nomura International Plc.
"Markets are likely to rally strongly on anything that looks" like Zuma's exit is closer, he said. "In our view, this overplays the role of Jacob Zuma in stopping reform in South Africa and over-estimates the change that will come. Nevertheless, South Africa assets can rally strongly on cabinet resignations, protests and calls for resignation and of course the actual event itself."
Montalto pared back his bearish forecast for the rand to 14.75 per dollar by year-end, from 17 in August. The currency strengthened 0.2 percent to 13.3423 by 2:26 p.m. in Johannesburg Tuesday.
Zuma is unlikely to give up without a fight, further clouding the outlook for the rand, said Tresca at Credit Agricole. The currency will probably weaken about 8 percent by year-end to 14.35 per dollar, from 13.37 on Monday, according to the median forecast of 31 economists in a Bloomberg survey. Predictions ranged from 13 to 18 per dollar.
"My concern is that it's not the end of the story at all, it's just the beginning," Tresca said. "I don't think that Zuma will do nothing. He will find another way to strike back. The rand will remain very hard to trade."

Long-term depression (LTD) is an activity-dependent decrease in synaptic efficacy that together with its counterpart, long-term potentiation, is thought to be an important cellular mechanism for learning and memory in the mammalian brain. The induction of LTD in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in neonatal rats is shown to depend on postsynaptic calcium ion entry through L-type voltage-gated calcium channels paired with the activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors. Although induced postsynaptically, LTD is due to a long-term decrease in transmitter release from presynaptic terminals. This suggests that LTD is likely to require the production of a retrograde messenger.

The provision of counselling and testing (CT) for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an important component of publicly funded HIV prevention efforts in the US and is routinely provided in sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics. We examined data from 51,359 client visits to Illinois STD clinics from 1991 to 1993 to evaluate the relationships of self-perceived and assessed risk for HIV infection with: (1) receiving HIV pretest counselling, (2) having blood drawn for HIV testing, (3) returning for HIV test results and post-test counselling, and (4) HIV serostatus. Overall, 22.7% of clients perceived themselves to be at risk, while 28.7% were assessed at-risk, with more than two-thirds of all clients correctly perceiving their assessed risk for HIV. Individuals who perceived themselves to be at risk were more likely thatn those without perceived risk to complete each stage of CT. Assessed risk was not, however, significantly associated with returning for test results. Those with either perceived risk or assessed risk were more likely to be seropositive than those with no perceived risk. African Americans (25%) were much less likely (p<0.001) to return for test results than either Hispanics (43%) or Whites (56%), yet perceived risk was most strongly associated with return rates for African Americans. Additional significant differences associated with gender, ethnicity, and their interaction with perceived and assessed risk were also observed for CT participation and HIV serostatus. Implications of these findings for HIV prevention efforts are discussed.

What Are the Biggest Challenges Patients and Families Have Adjusting to Life with MS?
Question: What are the biggest challenges that patients and their families have with adjusting to MS? Since this is a virtual center, what technology would help families?
2. Set defined goals beginning with those that are both most important and most attainable; in fact with every thing you do, whether it be taking a prescribed medication, going to the YMCA to work out or going back to school, try to develop short and long range goals. This allows you to become more actively involved and will enhance the chances for success.
3. Do not fixate on a particular solution until a problem has been fully analyzed and all information collected. Patients often come to me asking to get a particular medication or device or type of therapy and do not even tell me what problem they are trying to solve. This is most common with MS disease modifying therapies but can occur with almost request. When I ask them what problem they are trying to solve, examine them and explain the best options they are often amazed at the simplicity of the offered solutions. However, if they arrive determined to have their way, the outcome is usually less than satisfactory.
4. Break up time into useful blocks for reassessment of specific goals. For instance, if you just started a new medication for your MS consider the first 3 months as the time to get acclimated managing any side effects associated with the treatment and determining if you can fit this treatment into your life. This is not the time to be wondering if the treatment is working; that will come later.
6. Surround yourself with supportive friends, family and health care providers that help you follow these rules and lift you up when you are down.
My hope is that this virtual MS Center provides one of the ways for you and your families to follow these rules and adjust to your MS over time.

Requiem for Communism (MIT Press)
By admin On February 27, 2015 In Communism
Charity Scribner
In Requiem for Communism Charity Scribner examines the politics of memory in postindustrial literature and art. Writers and artists from Europe's second world have responded to the last socialist crisis with works that range from sober description to melancholic fixation. This book is the first survey of this cultural field.Today, as the cultures of Eastern and Western Europe merge into the Infobahn of late capitalism, the second world is being left behind. The European Union has pronounced obsolete the structures that once defined and linked industrial cities from Manchester to Karl-Marx-Stadt--the decaying factories and working collectives, the wasted ideals of state socialism and the welfare state. Marxist exponents of global empire see this historical turn as an occasion to eulogize "the lightness and joy of being communist." But for many writers and artists on the left, the fallout of the last century's socialist crisis calls for an elegy. This regret has prompted a proliferation of literary texts and artworks, as well as a boom in museum exhibitions that race to curate the wreckage of socialism and its industrial remnants. The best of these works do not take us back to the factory. Rather they look for something to take out of it: the intractable moments of solidarity among men and women that did not square with the market or the plan.Requiem for Communism explores a selection of signal works. They include John Berger?s narrative trilogy Into Their Labors; Documenta, the German platform for contemporary art and ideas; Krzysztof Kieslowski's cinema of mourning and Andrzej Wajda's filmed chronicles of the Solidarity movement; the art of Joseph Beuys and Rachel Whiteread; the novels of Christa Wolf; and Leslie Kaplan's antinostalgic memoir of women's material labor in France. Sorting among the ruins of the second world, the critical minds of contemporary Europe aim to salvage both the remains of socialist ideals and the latent feminist potential that attended them.

Plastic is a problem, with visible and hidden impact, and is rightly the focus of much attention. But course it's not the only material that harms the environment. There's all the other stuff we buy, use for a while and then probably throw away, with its constituent materials and the energy embedded within it; that technical term, stuff, being in this case all the human-made things in our homes, from bedsheets to bicycles, from cookers to crampons. It's been estimated that the manufacture, use and disposal of stuff requires more energy than flying, food, or heating and lighting. There are many means dependent on initiatives by industry to reduce the environmental impact of all this stuff.
In their detailed report on Reducing the environmental and cost impacts of electrical products, WRAP mentions:
materials – alternative, renewable, recycling and re-use
processing – low energy, low waste
distribution – more efficient distribution models
use – more efficient technology, better user education or 'intelligent' products
end of life – extraction of value (material and financial).
At the individual end of the scale, you can help by buying better quality products and keeping them for longer, but you may not be able to afford to do that. You can also mend things as they break down, displacing the material with labour, but you may not have the skills or the time. And, as with most environmental issues, the picture is complicated: WRAP states that replacing an inefficient washing machine with an AAA+ rated one creates a lower impact than repairing it.
For those who can't afford high-end white goods or other more durable kit, and whose skills don't include reupholstering their favourite armchair or retuning their creaking bicycle, there are various initiatives that can help.
You could take your broken goods to one of a network of Repair cafes to be repaired, or learn from a specialist at a Repair Café how to do it yourself. These are community affairs, drawing on skills of local people to help their neighbours.
People from High Peak transition groups recently went to a talk by Chris Blomeley from Essex, who, moving on from simple repair cafes, now runs a Community Interest Company which repairs electrical goods, working in partnership with local organisations such as the local Council. Chris and his apprentice not only repair people's domestic appliances but also rescue those which would otherwise go for recycling or to landfill and sell them on after refurbishing them if needed. In this way they not only benefit the community and the environment, but also save people money and make money for themselves. In another project, young people have been trained to rebuild bicycles rescued from local authority waste streams. The trainees received a newly refurbished bike and learnt a useful skill.
The meeting considered how feasible it would be to establish a similar CIC in High Peak, and thought that there'd be sufficient support for this. So did some informal chats beforehand with people who aren't necessarily green activists – but who would need to be involved to make things work (!)
Transition Buxton and Transition New Mills have already thought of holding repair cafes, and there was discussion about how this might happen. It's certainly possible with a large enough population to sustain activity, although a regular repair café might not be feasible in a small community. Not unexpectedly, there are other concerns about setting one up: issues brought up included funding streams, how you get repairers with the right skills, and what to do if your volunteers don't have the right qualifications.
Meanwhile, Sheffield and Chesterfield both hold monthly repair cafes, and already established at a more local level are Buxton and Glossop Freecycle groups, where you can post goods you no longer want.
Then of course, we need to add a fourth R to Reduce, Repair, Recycle, and that's redesign. At the moment, many products are designed in a way that actively hinders repairing them. Replacement parts are often so expensive that you might as well buy a new product. Of course, there is the argument that newer designs may be more efficient and less polluting, but surely it isn't beyond the ingenuity of engineers capable of building so many complex products to design products that can easily be upgraded. Let's look to a future when you won't need to throw out old washing machine when a newer, more efficient design comes along.
Even when stuff has reached the end of its useful life in its current reincarnation, it could - if properly designed - be returned to the manufacture where it would be disassembled so that the parts could be reused in future products - making a circular economy where waste is minimized, rather than the linear economy we have now where stuff is just thrown away.
Green party policy
Together, the technical ideas from WRAP and local initiatives described here are in line with the Green Party's Industry policies, as well as Green Party Natural Resources and Waste Management policies mentioned in an earlier post. For example:
IN212 The nature of some industrial sectors must change, such as from resource extraction to the 'circular economy'.
IN407 Industrial production should minimise embodied carbon, operational carbon (including maintenance) and end-of-life carbon (waste), in part through inspiring new community and user behaviour. … Industrial production should follow the waste hierarchy and deliver zero waste without incineration (see Resources): it should focus on waste reduction and reuse, repair and, refurbishment, high-value recycling, composting and anaerobic digestion, before downcycling (material recovery), energy-from-waste (including incineration) or landfill.
IN409 A Green Industrial Strategy for the UK combines three approaches … supporting the development of local resilience and new sectors in a systemic way …
Supporting local communities to choose their own transition path, to become more self-reliant, reflecting local history, ecological profile and needs.

From the lethally attractive mohawk to the slick, boxy, flat-head spiked hairdo, men can seamlessly alternate from the defiantly brazen to a charmingly fetching look using simple spiky hairstyle tricks. In this MenWit article, we present to you 5 ways to spike your hair.
Bid Those Hair Gels Goodbye!
If you are tired of spiking your hair with gel and game for experimenting, then you can always go for a sculpting paste, mousse, putty, or even a hair oil!
A spiked hairstyle is quite a thing with men and young boys, and the amount of time some will put to get the perfect spiked look, makes us tweak the original phrase, "Don't stand there with curlers on your hair" to "Don't stand there spiking your hair!" Well, you can't blame men for this. Just as a coiffure is fastidiously set for a woman, a man too, likes to invest some time to get the desired spiked look perfect, and yes, the spiked hair ain't that complicated at all. But yes, to know what kind of spiked hairdo would square with your hair, you will need to understand the three important factors that hold sway over your style―texture, density, and length.
Those of you who find themselves in hot water over spiked hairstyle and are in a fix as to how to spike their hair, the following ways to spike your hair will get you the covet-able look.
Before beginning with the spiking part, make sure your hair is shampooed and conditioned, as they say, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear; similarly, you can't expect to get an outstanding spiky hairstyle with an unclean mop of hair. Dry your hair using a blow dryer or if you aren't required to show your manly self with utmost dispatch somewhere, then you can always let the hair dry naturally.
Before you get going to learn the tricks of the trade, do sneak in a look at some cool spiky hair looks (provided below) for men.
After the aforementioned procedure, brush your hair to free them from knots and tangles. To spike your hair in the front, you can either use a gel or use a combination of wet and dry hair products. If you are only going to rely on hair gel, then take a lavish amount of it (not so lavish that it drips out of your hands) in your palms and swiftly move your fingers toward the back of your hair, while setting them erect at the same time. As you do so, make sure you clench your fingers around your hair for the hair to settle as you lift your strands up. You can also use a spray to hold your hair up, and you are done!
While a natural coarse or wavy hair texture is best suited for a spiky hairstyle, those with thin and straight hair have a little disadvantage as they don't provide the required leeway for movement. But, no problemo gents, as the gel can help to pull up even the disinclined strands of hair. To spike your short hair, get yourself a nice gel (avoid the ones that will make your hair look greasy), take a good dollop of it into your palms and get down to shaping your hair. Move your hands over your hair, let your hair bond with the gel and to do so run your hands back and forth. Grasp the strands between your fingers and pull them up to spike them. This will take time but continue doing it till you get what you desire.
Your choice of hair wax will depend upon the strength, texture, and finish you desire. Hair wax will not just texturize your hair but will also liven your lackadaisical hair. Unlike gel, you don't need to lavish your hair with gel, but just some of it (well, this depends on the length of your hair). Procedure to spike your hair with wax is identical to that of gel. The good part about using wax is that it gives ample scope for your hair to be lifted up and gives a relatively strong hold with a good finish. Whether it's about creating a subtle look by working on single strands or giving the spiked look to a chunk of hair, a wax will you a defined look along with long-lasting hold (well, this will depend on the brand you choose).
A small tip: If wax is your choice of weapon for spiking, then before applying it to your hair, warm it a bit so that it sticks consistently on your hair.
If you have a long hair then holding them in place is a tall order. Hence, you need heavy styling products to keep your spikes intact. Use gel or wax, whatever floats your boat. Likewise, take the required amount of it and bond the desired chunk of hair. You will also need to subject your tresses to blasting (if you are using wax, then read the directions to know whether your hair needs to be wet or dry). Another way to spike your long hair could be undergoing spike-inspired hairstyles, which are mohawk and faux mohawk.
To spike your hair in the back, take a good amount of gel in your hands and work your way from the bottom to the front of your head. Run your fingers from the bottom of the back of your head and pinch your hair while doing so. Ideally, spiking should start from the back of one's head and then move forward. Hold your hair between your fingers and let them slide outwards as you try to pull them. While some sections of your hair are bound to remain un-spiked, work on them by running your fingers and pinching them.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals started the new year with a quick civil procedure lesson, ruling yesterday in Vantage Drilling Company v. Hsin-Chi Su that lawsuits of foreign corporations with a principal place of business in Texas against foreign defendants belong in state, not federal, courts. This ruling is in line with the Second, Sixth, and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeals, all of whom have previously held that a plaintiff's incorporation abroad destroys diversity jurisdiction in a lawsuit against a foreign defendant, even if the plaintiff's principal place of business is in the United States.
Plaintiff Vantage Drilling Company is an offshore drilling contractor that provides drilling units, related equipment, and work crews to major oil and natural gas companies around the world. It is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, with a principal place of business in Houston, Texas. Defendant Su, who served on Vantage's board of directors, is a Taiwanese citizen.
(4) a foreign state, defined in §1603(a) of this title, as plaintiff and citizens of a State or of different States.
Vantage moved for remand arguing that its Cayman Island's incorporation and Su's Taiwanese citizenship destroyed diversity jurisdiction because there were aliens present on both sides of the litigation. The district court denied the motion to remand and reasoned that although Vantage had dual citizenship in the United States and Cayman Islands, it was "fully Texan" because it had no employees or operations in the Cayman Islands and its headquarters and primary operations were in Texas, where it "hire[d]local workers, [bought]local supplies, rent[ed] local buildings, donate[d] to local charities, and serve[d] local customers." Su, on the other hand, in the district court's opinion, was a "fully foreign party." Analogizing to human citizens for whom "[r]emoval is proper if the dual national's dominant nationality is American irrespective of [his/her] other affiliations," the district court held that Vantage could not "rely on its foreign charter to avoid a national court despite the predominant reality of its existence." Vantage filed an interlocutory appeal, resulting in a reversal of the district court by the Fifth Circuit.
Importantly, the Fifth Circuit rejected Su's argument that the presence of bias in a state forum against a fully foreign defendant is a factor to be considered in the diversity analysis. Thus, the fact that Vantage had substantial business dealings in Texas, while Su did not, did not justify a finding of a diversity jurisdiction where both parties were foreign.
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Sometimes, incorporating a company or a subsidiary in a foreign jurisdiction makes business sense from the standpoint of taxation or corporate governance. However, a company that follows that route should keep in mind that should a dispute arise with a foreign party, the company might be forced to give up federal forum and all the advantages that come with it and litigate the case in a state court, especially if the case involves only state law claims. In this case, as a plaintiff, Vantage preferred to be in state court, but this might not always be the case.

Pavirvytis manor homestead

Pavirvytis manor homestead was founded in the 18th century. at the end. Belonged to the nobles Shemeth. Napoleon's March 1812 During his stay in Russia, the sick French lieutenant Pierre Druve remained in the manor. He was cared for by Martta, the only daughter of the landlords. The young people loved each other. The lonely Samogitian landowner and her beloved Pierre Druve married and together with the French army, having experienced various adventures along the way, went to France and Burgundy. Two decades later, at the request of her parents, Martha and her husband returned to Pavirvytis. The Druviai of the locals were called the Ruins.
The homestead of the manor was called Drupine by the people of Tškiškės. Their descendant Antanas Ričardas Druvė (1867–1919), while studying at the St. Nicholas Cavalry School in St. Petersburg, was close friends with Karl Gustav Emil Mannerheim (a joint picture of the two has survived).
Pavirvytis manor homestead until 1940. The Soviet nationalizations that began in the summer of 2006 belonged to two families of Druvian descendants - Elena Bliumbergiene and Michalauskas, had almost 250 ha of land and were an exemplary farm run by a demanding man of German order, V. Bendžius. Pigs and cows raised here won prizes in exhibitions in Šiauliai. After the Juodupis stream was dammed, the manor's water mill operated. The homestead was decorated with a pond, hedges and flower beds. The manor has a large art collection, which was preserved during the First World War, as well as other property (furniture, tapestries, carpets, porcelain dishes, a rich library) in 1940. Red Army soldiers based in the manor house took him by rail in an unknown direction.
The war also confused the fate of the owners of Pavirvytis. The Michalauskas were deported to Siberia, and their son V. Michalauskas, who was ill at the time, remained in Lithuania. The father did not return from Siberia.
The 200-year-old unique, wooden mansion of classical architecture was destroyed and rebuilt during the Soviet era, but has retained the authentic and undamaged façade structure.
Pavirvytis is an exceptional Lithuanian manor. In rare cases, one can meet a true heir. Valdemaras Michalauskas is the only descendant of the former owners of the manor, to whom the homestead of Pavirvytis manor with the surrounding estate was returned after the restoration of Lithuania's independence. Officially, the manor house belongs to Mažvydas, the son of Valdemaras and Sofija Michalauskas, based in France, where he practices law. Mažvydas Michalauskas is also the chairman of the Lithuanian youth community in France.
Pavirvytis is the first wooden manor house in the Telšiai region to be arranged from the beginning to the end, to which the state also made a significant contribution to the revival, compensating the owners for a part of the restoration costs.
From the buildings of the manor house period, a large wooden gentleman's house and a wooden barn, fragments of the park's greenery, old oaks have been preserved, among which the oak of Pavirvytis manor and the oak of Pavirvytis alley are preserved.

Kyabje Mindrolling Trichen, the 11th throne holder of Mindrolling was born to the 10th Mindrolling Trichen, Gyurme Dondup Wangyal and Yum Dawa Drolma on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month of the year of the Iron Sheep 1931.
His Holiness received extensive teachings and empowerments from many exceptional Tibetan masters. Dzongsar Khyentse Chokyi Lodro, Shechen Kongtrul the Great, Minling Chung Rinpoche, Minling Khen Rinpoche, Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, Dordzin Namdrol Gyatso, Dordzin Dechen Choedzin and Gelong Kunzangla are some of the renowned masters with whom he studied.
His Holiness' root guru was Dzongsar Khyentse Chokyi Lodro from whom he also received the precious instructions on the Guhyagarbha Tantra and its various commentaries. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche proclaimed His Holiness as having greatly excelled in the understanding and practice of these precious teachings and instructed him to teach it eleven times to fortunate and worthy students in the future. Having received numerous teachings, transmissions and empowerments within the Kama and Terma lineages, Kyabje Rinpoche went into extensive retreats for many years.
Although the enthronement of Kyabje Rinpoche as the 11th Mindrolling Trichen was set to take place after his retreat, the Communist Chinese invasion and the subsequent Tibetan uprising shattered those plans. His Holiness went into exile in India, leaving behind everything including the monastery established in 1676 in the Drachi Valley by his predecessor the first Mindrolling Trichen, Terdag Lingpa and his brother, the great Lochen Dharmashri.
After several years of tireless effort helping to establish Tibetan Buddhism in exile, Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche and Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche performed the formal enthronement ceremony of the 11th Mindrolling Trichen at the Zangdog Palri Monastery in Kalimpong in 1962. His Holiness was finally able to create the official monastic seat of Mindrolling in exile in Dehra Dun in 1976.
Renowned within the Tibetan community as an emanation of Padmasambhava, Trichen Dorje Chang, as he is known to many, lived with his family Sangyum Kushog, Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche, Jetsün Dechen Paldrön and the Mindrolling Sangha in Dehra Dun until his parinirvana in 2008.

Child Support Issues Affecting High Earners
By Bremer Whyte Brown & O'Meara
| September 24, 2019
How Child Support Is Determined Generally
A parent owes a legal duty to provide their child with adequate financial support to secure living expenses, such as clothing, shelter, education, and healthcare. The duty to pay child support arises from the legal parent-child relationship.
Typically, a parent fulfills their duty to provide financial support to their child by sheltering the child and paying for housing, groceries, medical, and school expenses. Most children who live with their parents have their needs fulfilled. However, when a parent does not live with their child or shares custody—due to a legally recognized custody arrangement between divorced or otherwise separated parents—that parent must pay child support to satisfy this legal duty.
Ordinarily, the parent who doesn't live with the child sends child support payments to the parent who lives with the child. A parent's child support obligation depends on relative income, the number of children, and the specific needs of the child. Under California law, courts determine a parent's child support obligation based on particular guidelines provided under the California Family Code § 4052.
Courts are not bound to strictly follow the statutory guidelines for determining child support. Under certain circumstances, a court has discretion as to whether a deviation from guideline child support is appropriate in any given case.
Child Support Obligations for High Earners
When one parent qualifies as an extraordinarily high earner, a court can deviate from California's child support guidelines. The Family Code does not define what an "extraordinarily high earner" is, and thus, courts have discretion to determine who qualifies.
A court may evaluate a parent's earnings compared to the standard of living for a particular area. Although $100,000 may not mean a lot in Los Angeles, for example, that amount may be considered excessive in other cities in California.
Once someone is classified as a high earner, they are obligated to share their fortune with their children. California courts have rationalized that the duty to pay child support involves more than providing "the mere necessities of life" in cases when the parent can afford to pay more. In cases where the child has grown accustomed to the standard of living the high earner provided before a divorce, the court has ordered the affluent parent to pay enough support allowing the child to continue enjoying that living standard.
Imputing Income in Child Support Proceedings
A parent's child support obligation requires an examination of their financial condition. A parent must demonstrate the nature of their financial status by submitting an Income & Expense Declaration (FL-150) with supporting documents.
However, a court has discretion to consider other evidence to essentially assign to the parent an income level for purposes of determining child support, despite what was declared on an Income & Expense Declaration. This process is known as "imputing" income.
Courts have considered the following factors when imputing income for child support determinations:
The parent's earning capacity, factoring their age, occupation, skill set, education, experience, qualifications, and health;
The parent's willingness to work as shown through meaningful attempts to find employment;
Opportunities to work under the relevant conditions of the job market.
For example, a parent who was licensed to practice law but works at a café as a barista may be subject to an imputed income more commensurate with an attorney's earnings.

Shipping freight isn't simple. But we make it simpler.
The Amusement in Hauling Freight
, Industry
Just keep reading, you'll see what I did there…
When most people think of freight and shipping they probably think of the solid color shipping containers seen piled on boats or in shipyards on TV, or just the back of an 18-wheeler barreling down the interstate next to them. They probably think of those containers as filled with cardboard boxes packed with nameless, typical consumer goods. What they probably don't think of is giant caterpillars or UFOs being driven across the country.
Hauling America's Amusement Rides
Here at Lync we haul all sorts of freight, and that includes hauling carnivals, getting amusement companies from one fair to the next. Fixer Justin Badgett coordinates these loads for us and explains that despite its challenges, this seasonal freight is filled with nostalgia.
Everything in a carnival must travel; from the rides that fold up and back down, the ticket booths, living quarters for crew, to a reefer truck full of chicken drums. Every part of the carnival travels together. That means a lot of freight moving at once and some companies are putting on several fairs at a time throughout the country. The rides and games are typically built on custom trailers, so Lync is generally providing just the tractor or hot-shot moves, as the fairs aren't usually traveling very far.
How do you haul a Caterpillar?
In addition to the high volume of freight moving all at once, the other tricky aspect of hauling carnival freight is the sometimes just crazy loads. Justin has had carriers nervous of certain loads simply because they've never hauled anything that looks like a giant spaceship, even if it is legal. Some of these loads also have a really high cargo value, so we make sure each shipment is completely covered. We had the honor of shipping the largest portable Ferris wheel ever made; can't mess that one up!
It's not always just convincing carriers to accept a load, sometimes it's making sure a load is safe to be carried. A ride was shipped in from Italy but when the driver arrived at the port to load it, nothing was to U.S. code, everything had to be shifted around to make it work.

Десвенлафаксин (, ) — синтетичний лікарський засіб, який є активним метаболітом венлафаксину, що за хімічним складом є похідним бета-фенілетиламіну та належить до групи селективних інгібіторів зворотного захоплення серотоніну і норадреналіну. Десенлафаксин застосовується перорально.

Фармакологічні властивості
Десвенлафаксин — лікарський засіб, що належить до групи селективних інгібіторів зворотного захоплення серотоніну і норадреналіну. Механізм дії препарату полягає у вибірковому інгібуванні зворотнього нейронального захоплення серотоніну та норадреналіну в синапсах центральної нервової системиу, що спричинює накопичення нейромедіатора в синаптичній щілині, та подовженню його дії на постсинаптичні рецепторні ділянки. Це призводить до інгібування обігу серотоніну та норадреналіну в організмі, подальшим наслідком чого є купування депресивних станів. Препарат має виражену тимоаналептичну, а також анксіолітичну та стимулюючу дію, та не впливає на серотонінові рецептори 5-HT1А і 5-НТ2, а також на альфа-1- та альфа-2-, а також бета-адренорецептори, D2 та D1 дофамінові рецептори, гістамінові H1-рецептори, м-холірецептори, бензодіазепінові рецептори, опіатні та ГАМК-рецептори. Десвенлафаксин застосовується при великому депресивному розладі, ефективність його оцінюється на рівні інших антидепресантів. Десвенлафаксин також застосовується для лікування приливів у жінок у постменопаузальному періоді, та позиціонується як перший негормональний препарат для лікування жінок в клімактеричному періоді. Також десвенлафаксин застосовується для лікування фіброміалгії, проте його ефективність при цьому захворюванні є невисокою.

Фармакокінетика
Десвенлафаксин добре, проте повільно всмоктується після перорального застосування, біодоступність препарату становить 80 %. Максимальна концентація десвенлафаксину в крові досягається протягом 7,5 годин після прийому препарату. Десвенлафаксин погано (на 30 %) зв'язується з білками плазми крові. Препарат добре проникає через гематоенцефалічний бар'єр, через плацентарний бар'єр, та виділяється в грудне молоко. Метаболізується десвенлафаксин у печінці з утворенням неактивних метаболітів. Виводиться препарат із організму переважно із сечею як у незміненому вигляді, так і у вигляді метаболітів. Період напіввиведення десвенлафаксину становить 11 годин, цей час може збільшуватися при порушеннях функції печінки або нирок.

Покази до застосування
Десвенлафаксин застосовують для лікування великого депресивного розладу.

Q: Pie Chart outer arc border boundaries d3 (svg) I'm trying to figure out how I can add an outerborder to the arcs that a pie chart has in d3 (svg).
For example, here is a pie chart: https://gist.github.com/enjalot/1203641
I'm looking for something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/8T7Ew/
I decided to create a donut whose inner radius start's where the outer radius of the pie chart ends. But I find that I won't be able to connect the two slices together. When you hover over the pie chart slice the respective donut slice should be visible as seen in the above jsfiddle.
Example of what I mean:
    var arc = d3.svg.arc()
                .outerRadius(radius - 10)
                .innerRadius(0);
    var arc_outer = d3.svg.arc()
                    .outerRadius(radius + 10)
                    .innerRadius(radius - 10);

Is this possible? If so, what would be the best way of going about it? I'm assuming doing a border, but I'm not sure how to create an outer arc for the border. Any help would be appreciated.

A: You can do something like this. Here is jsfiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/cuckovic/9Lgrn/
var w = 500,
    h = 500;

var data = [10, 80, 50, 60, 30, 42, 27, 77];

var max = d3.max(data);
var min = d3.min(data);

var color = d3.scale.linear()
    .domain([min, max])
    .range(["darkred", "steelblue"]);

console.log(color(50));

var canvas = d3.select("body").append("svg")
    .attr("width", w)
    .attr("height", h);

var group = canvas.append("g")
    .attr("transform", "translate(200, 200)");

var r = 150;

var arc = d3.svg.arc()
    .outerRadius(r - 10)
    .innerRadius(0);

var arc2 = d3.svg.arc()
    .outerRadius(r + 10)
    .innerRadius(0);

var pie = d3.layout.pie()
    .value(function (d) {
    return d;
});

var arcs = group.selectAll(".arc")
    .data(pie(data))
    .enter()
    .append("g")
    .attr("class", "arc");

var asdf = arcs.append("path")
    .attr("d", arc)
    .attr("fill", function (d) {
    return color(d.data);
})

asdf.on("mouseover", function (d) {
    d3.select(this).transition().duration(200).attr("d", arc2);
});

asdf.on("mouseout", function (d, i) {
    d3.select(this).transition().duration(200).attr("d", arc);
});

var circle = group.append("circle")
    .attr({
        "cx": 0,
        "cy": 0,
        "r": 140,
        "fill": "none",
        "stroke": "#fff",
        "stroke-width": 2
    });


Well, things are slowly shaping up around her.e I will be making a cross country move starting tomorrow. So, 2100 miles later I will try and make an updated post as to my state of mind. Its a good move and hopefully will allow for a large growth in my projects. Its amazing what you can get done when you can actually afford it.
I'm nervous about it obviously but I think it will be a good thing. We'll see soon.

Malaysia On Right Track In Developing Aerospace Sector
By Mohammed Faiz Kamaludin / News / Leave a Comment
MELAKA, Oct 8 (Bernama) — Malaysia is on the right track in developing the aerospace sector by organising various programmes, hence placing itself at par with other developing countries which have the same mission.
Former astronaut from Russia, Alexander Ivanchenkov, 60, regards the cooperation between the Malaysian and Russian governments in sending Malaysia's first astronaut Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor into space in October 2007 as apt in developing the field.
"Malaysia needs more such cooperation where it can encourage transfer of technology in aerospace to the country," he said through an interpreter after delivering a talk on space exploration at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM), here, Thursday.
Also present was another Russian foremer astronaut Alexander Poleshchuk, 57, and former astronaut from the United States, Henry Hartsfield, 77.
They are in Malaysia with over 60 other astronauts and cosmonauts from 17 countries for the XXIII International Association of Space Explorers Planetary Congress themed "1Planet, 1Hope, 1Future", from Oct 5 to 10 in Kuala Lumpur.
Ivanchenkov who went into space for the first time on July 15, 1975, hoped Malaysia's aerospace sector development would be a continuous one by cultivating interest in aerospace among its young generation.
Meanwhile, Hartsfield said the development of the aerospace sector was not only limited to the technical aspects, but the development of human capital too, especially involving the young generation.
"The future of aerospace is in the hands of young people. They must master science and technology in order to carry on this effort (developing the sector), besides having a high level of discipline," he said.
Hartsfield who first went into space in June 1982, has been involved in many development programmes by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) since 1969.
The Malaysian Multimedia University in Bukit Beruang here also held a similar programme attended by over 1,000 university and school students who listened to talks given by six foreign astronauts.

French Nuclear Reactors to Restart (Fingers crossed Knock on wood)
Summarizing France 24 report.
32 (out of 56!) of France's "reliable 24-7" nuclear reactors have been shut most of the (record hot)
summer, due to corrosion problems, "maintainence", and drought (they need water to cool themselves).
With Russia squeezing gas supplies, power prices skyrocketing, French government (meaning taxpayers)
will "absorb" some of that increase.
2022 power prices were 85 euros per MWH. Now over 1000 Euros / MWh.
High gas prices will bleed over into the US and rest of the world.
Meanwhile, wind and sunlight remain free, can't be blocked, and need little to no water, as always
We have a choice.
Before the Inflation Reduction Act, and its promise of 380 Billion in funding for an energy transition – Europe inaugurated its own energy transition initiative with 300 plus dollars.
Try to imagine the boost that renewable industries are going to see in the coming decade.
ABC News:
The European Union's executive arm moved Wednesday to jump-start plans for the 27-nation bloc to abandon Russian energy amid the Kremlin's war in Ukraine, proposing a nearly 300 billion-euro ($315 billion) package that includes more efficient use of fuels and faster rollout of renewable power.
The European Commission's investment initiative is meant to help the 27 EU countries start weaning themselves off Russian fossil fuels this year. The goal is to deprive Russia, the EU's main supplier of oil, natural gas and coal, of tens of billions in revenue and strengthen EU climate policies.
"We are taking our ambition to yet another level to make sure that we become independent from Russian fossil fuels as quickly as possible," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in Brussels when announcing the package, dubbed REPowerEU.

'..wind and sunlight remain free, can't be blocked…'
They're not free – the German government has suspended the planned reduction in feed-in tariffs, so taxpayers who can't afford a roof, or a field, pay those who can. And it doesn't take much cloud, or snow, to block solar. Wind is affected by the not uncommon meteorological feature, a 'blocking high', which can shut it down over most of Europe for a week. Slowing of the jetstream may be making this more common. 'The latest IPCC report suggests that average wind speeds over Europe will reduce by 8%-10% as a result of climate change.' https://theconversation.com/what-europes-exceptionally-low-winds-mean-for-the-future-energy-grid-170135

While even the shut-down reactors need big maintenance crews, bringing up those 32 reactors will require much longer staff-hours for these higher-skilled maintenance and operation engineers (which under French labor rules might be even more expensive). Meanwhile they have to make extra effort to monitor the corrosion issue and the cooling stress. Therein lies a lot of the expense.
[Oops. My previous comment was not meant to be a reply to you, but its own top-level comment.]
Of course Peter means that, unlike fossil fuels, solar and wind can't be used as a tool of political extortion. (The US, for one, has been sucking up to Saudi Arabia and other petrostates for too long.)
They're also not dependent on cooling water, as thermal power plants (including the old nuclear power plants) are.
I'll add that solar and wind power plants and non-hydro grid storage do not have to be [expensively] hardened against Putin and other terrorists.

ABC journo's 'error in judgment'
Laura Tingle is an Australian journalist and author. She is currently the chief political correspondent for the ABC's 7.30 program, and was previously the political editor for The Australian Financial Review.
by Anton Nilsson
21st Oct 2020 7:48 PM
A top ABC boss has called a journalist's politically-charged tweet blasting Scott Morrison an "error in judgment".
Laura Tingle, chief political correspondent for ABC's 7.30 program, recently sent out a tweet about a colleague leaving the channel that ended with the words:
"We grieve the loss of so many of our fine colleagues to government ideological bastardry. Hope you are feeling smug @ScottMorrisonMP."
Laura Tingle's tweet, which has since been deleted.
The ABC's managing director David Anderson was asked about the tweet during a Senate Estimates hearing on Wednesday evening, and defended Ms Tingle's credentials as a journalist but said the tweet was a "mistake" and an "error in judgment".
"Laura Tingle is a veteran of over 30 years of outstanding journalism," Mr Anderson said.
"I would ask anyone to judge her on the quality of her journalism that is otherwise put out by the ABC, as opposed to social media."
He said Ms Tingle had taken down the message because she agreed it was a mistake and was contacted by her executive producer.
"I am satisfied that no more action needs to be taken."
Asked by Andrew Bragg, Liberal Party Senator for NSW, whether she will continue to cover federal politics, Mr Anderson said:
"She will."
Prior to the tweet questions, there was considerable debate among senators whether the government's indexation freeze amounted to an ABC budget cut, with David Van, Liberal Senator for Victoria, arguing the broadcaster's funding has gone up in "real terms".
Mr Anderson said 229 staff had left the ABC following the indexation freeze.

Due to the absence of stem in the filter funnel, there is a decrease in the surface area of contact between the solution and the stem of the filter funnel, hence preventing recrystallization of solid in the funnel, adversely affecting filtration process.
The filter press test can also provide information enabling us to estimate the percentage of solids in order to properly size a unit. Sludge Dryer Testing Another standard test is a sludge dryer test .
Check out our filtering in chemistry, types of mechanical filters and chemistry filtration. Mechanical filters are available.
The press also allows the filtrate that passed through the filter surfaces to exit through its own duct while it retains the solids that were originally in the slurry. After the wash sequence, the press is disassembled then the solids may be collected and removed.
BHS seminar will cover testing, clarificationcombination filtration, candle and pressure plate filter technologies, concentrating candle filters, vacuum belt filters to concentrating candle filters, rotary pressure filters and pharmaceutical Autopress (contained filter press) technology.

The belt press cake went from being sloppy to crumbly once the chemistry went through the system. It worked like magic, Tee recalls. Showing significant improvement, the site increased the belt press cake solids by 5%.

e think of Italy as an ageless land, existing as a boot since before Jesus. Italy brought us the first Republic during the Roman Empire; it brought running water to the city center; it sent the roots of modern language to England through military occupation. We got the poet-laureate from Italians, and along with it that cool laurel headpiece we wear to toga parties, we got sonnets from them, the telescope, and believe it or not, forks. Italy brought us linear perspective art during the Renaissance, which naturalized the human form on canvas and enabled subsequent movements to re-distort it.
But none of these is truly Italian. Or better, their Italian-ness depends on your definition of "Italy." Do you mean it as a political state or as a physical place? Though we may freely link Italy with Old World accomplishments, the Italy we know only became a unified country in the 1860s. We must thus qualify the previous information. Rome should be called Rome, not Italy. Speaking "Italian" is a modern occurrence (don't get me started on the youth of the Italian language). Likewise, Venice and Florence were both independent city-states for most of their history. They entered the fold recently.
While Italy is a relatively newcomer to household globes, the concept of "Italy" as a nation is even newer to citizens of the recently cobbled boot. Nationalist sentiment began developing under Mussolini in the 1920s (some argue they never developed far, bearing in mind today's Lega Nord, Roman hatred for the Milanese, bitter debates Carbonara over recipes, etc.).
To get to my story you must first compound massive socio-political change with the technological advances of the last 120 years, then compress the same 120 years into 60, since much of Italy enjoyed few Industrial Revolution luxuries (electricity, indoor plumbing) before Mussolini. Once you have processed these changes and considered that nationally, linguistically, and technologically Italy has seen mind-boggling changes in the span of one lifetime, you have to add two wars. Finally, you need to focus your lens on Rome.
Now zoom in on just one lifetime. What must La Nonna think of it all? La Nonna is Andreina, a nightly visitor to Restaurant X where I work at Campo de' Fiori. The bashful old bird won't concede her age, but her daughter once told me she is 87. That means she was born (in the Campo de' Fiori apartment where she still lives) in 1921. As a girl the Coliseum was a wild garden of interest only to a few botanists, the Forum was under layers of earth, Campo de' Fiori itself was a forgotten village square, dangerous after dark until the 1990s.
She doesn't talk about her life and if you ask her questions she's evasive. But one night she brought a journalist as a dinner companion. He was interviewing her about the Fellini movies she had acted in. She didn't remember which ones, but he knew (though he wouldn't disclose), and he pumped her, as a kind of rare living relic, for information.
I know from watching her that she's from an age when Italians still drank only tap water. She loves soccer, is intensely afraid of candles, and she finishes every meal with a cigarette. I often wonder what she's thinking as she sits under a knitted cap that barely conceals her sparse hair. She finishes her meal as Open Bar starts on Tuesday night, the DJ pumping rap and house music in the presence of belligerently litigious and amorous foreign co-eds thousands of miles from home. They're dressed in what to her must look like undergarments. Around her, huge TV screens play one bawdy music video after another.
What could her life experience tell me? She who has actually been the fly on the wall. She grew up a peasant in this square, which was her backyard and playground. Then it changed. For a time, Axis forces patrolled it when Rome was a wartime Open City. Maybe she was already a film actress then; maybe she even acted with Anna Magnani in the 1943 film, "Campo de' Fiori." Again it changed and she lived La Dolce Vita in the late 1950s and into the 60s. Now every night she watches globalization unfold outside her window.
Campo de' Fiori, the anonymous market where she was sent, barefoot, to buy tomatoes as a girl is now in every international guidebook. How can she fathom any of it? Maybe she doesn't. Maybe TV and reality blend into a larger unreality and she pretends she's reliving her acting years. Or maybe like the Roman she is, she just says Boh.
