This etching from 1904 would mark the real start of Picasso's activity as an engraver and an earlier xylographer done in Barcelona in 1899-1900 (wood engraving, MPB 110.292) starts the museum's engraving collection. The artist created it at the Rue Ravignann studio in Paris, known as Bateau-Lavoir, with advice from the Catalan painter and engraver Ricard Canals, who showed Picasso etching technique. This work shows Picasso's quick technical mastery of classic engraving going back to great creators such as Dürer, Rembrandt and Goya.
Like his other engraving work from the period, The Frugal Meal matches the painting work from the era in both topic and aesthetic, falling fully into the Blue Period.
It pointedly represents misery and desperation. In the foreground, on the meagre tablecloth, there are remains of bread and wine. Behind, the seated couple joined in melancholy but at the same time distanced, despite the tender embrace from the man, are each immersed in their own desolation. The artist's concentration on humanity and, above all, the poor and other socially marginalised characters is revealed in this etching – hungry men and women with passive apathetic expressions, characters who are humbled by their own weight, often immersed in the characteristic empty scenes from this early Blue Period.
From a stylistic viewpoint, the stretched characters' mannerism in the style of El Greco and clearer in the hands is directly linked to the work The Madman (MPB 4.272).
The Museu Picasso in Barcelona has print number 2 from the second and definitive run Picasso kept and donated to the Museum in 1970.
Delâtre made a short first run, with Vollard ordering another from the printer Fort later in 1913. The Frugal Meal is one of the engravings making up the Suite des Saltimbanques (The Acrobats Set) published and put together by Vollard in 1913 and where, initially, fifteen steel plates edited by Fort were included – nearly all his work as an engraver in the 1905-1906 period. Vollard produced a longer run from this set, some twenty-seven or twenty-eight examples on Japanese laid paper and two-hundred and fifty examples on Van Gelder vellum paper. Many of these still preserved plates were scored by Fort throughout 1913.
The present example forms part of the donation Picasso made to the city of Barcelona in 1970. From the family residence in Passeig de Gràcia, it is one of many examples signed in pencil by the artist before the plate was steel-covered. The plate had been used beforehand to engrave a landscape by Juan González, brother of Julio González, and was reused for this Picasso etching.
Prints of The Frugal Meal are housed at the Musée national Picasso in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA in New York, the Boston museum of Fine Arts and the Arts Institute in Chicago.
The Museu Picasso has a major collection of the artist's engraving and lithography work, comprising some 1,500 prints.
Some were donated by Jaume Sabartés, Picasso's friend and personal secretary. A large amount were donated by Picasso himself, when paying homage to Sabartés upon his death, agreeing to donate from then until the end of his life an example of each engraving he created. The rest are donations from other benefactors and works having been purchased by the museum.
New Prints Rooms have been opened at the Museu Picasso in 2008.
Picasso's first incursion into this area took place in 1899 when he engraved a picador on a plate. Whether through inexperience or on purpose, the man holding the lance is left-handed, leading to the title, chosen by Picasso himself, El Zurdo or the left-handed man. The important point is that Picasso's perseverance and creative genius led him to consolidate this technique year after year, turning him into one of the greatest engravers.
The pieces in the Museu Picasso collection are also testimony to the artist's close relationship with major printers such as Eugène Delâtre, Louis Fort, Roger Lacourière, Aldo and Piero Crommelyck, Mourlot and Arnéra, enjoying a profitable working relationship with each one. The engraver-printer dialogue led to one of the most important engraving work legacies in the history of graphic art.

Van Morrison and Joey Defrancesco / New album: You're Driving Me Crazy
March 7, 2018 by Paul Sinclairtags: joey defrancesco, new music, van morrison
Remarkably, Van Morrison is about to release his third studio album in little over six months. You're Driving Me Crazy is a collaboration with jazz organ virtuoso Joey DeFrancesco.
Morrison's 39th studio album features fresh interpretations of Blues/Jazz Standards such as Miss Otis Regrets, The Things I Used To Do and Every Day I Have The Blues and Morrison originals including Have I Told You Lately, The Way Young Lovers Do and Magic Time.
Jazz organist DeFrancesco is a relatively young musician (he's also a trumpeter and vocalist) who signed a deal with Columbia records at the age of 16 (in 1987) and was performing with Miles Davis a year later. Others in the band for this new Van Morrison album include Dan Wilson (guitar), Michael Ode (drums) and Troy Roberts (tenor saxophone).
You're Driving Me Crazy will be released on 27 April 2018 via Legacy Recordings.

Down to £3.99 at amazon.co.uk
Gerbrand says:
Official statement on Van's website on his divorce from Michelle Rocca (not mentioned in the statement). Which undoubtedly means Days Like This will join Tupelo Honey and You Win Again as albums which will never be reissued.
Cant believe it…Van hasn't announced a new album release this week. SO FAR!
Yea, but The Prophet Speaks will be released December 7th. Pre-ordered.
Heinz, If you think the cover looks cool now, imagine how much you'd like it if it was done well :)
Heinz says:
€5.95 on vinyl on Amazon.it I'm in…. until they cancel it….
I'm in. I buy every Van Morrison release. I've found plenty to enjoy on all of them. I'm kind of surprised I've never heard of DeFrancesco before so this will be something new for me. I would like to see the Legacy releases kick into gear. Some of Van's early-mid 70's stuff is hard to find on CD.
Hey Paul, do you by any chance know what is going on with Amazon Italy. Are these real prices? Will they get cancelled?
While the last two, had some great moments, hearing more music from a artist is always better then hearing the sixth single from a two year old album. Love the voice, love the blues and jazzy feel of the last two (and many of his output over the past 40+ years). Will get it on CD, then decided if it is worth also getting on vinyl.
(should have been "much of his output, not many".
Colin Harper says:
I reviewed a pair of concerts – sold separately, so not a double bill as such, but effectively much of the audience had paid for both and stayed in their seats – that were happening back to back in Cork City Hall, Ireland at Cork Jazz Festival in 1997. On first, John McLaughlin's Free Spirits (John, Dennis Chambers, Joey de Francesco); on next, Van Morrison (with Goergie Fame on organ). Amazingly, John McLaughlin's set was stopped early so that Van's people could move a few things around on stage. I went backstage and the Mahavishnu and the boys were not happy. It must have been the only occasion in 40+ years where a jazz festival pulled the plug on the legendary John McLaughlin. Wonder if Joey reminisced fondly about this with The Man?
David A. says:
Here's a song from the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBdreGU4Ds4
Thanks. I was looking for a song on YouTube last night… anyway, have now added to the post. I'm liking that lovely Hammond-y sound :)
Tom M Hans says:
Am I own my own thinking that each song on "Philosophers Stone" has more substance than all releases since "Days Like This" combined?
noyoucmon says:
RE: "Am I on my own thinking that each song on "Philosophers Stone" has more substance than all releases since "Days Like This" combined?"
I agree with your assessment about Philosopher's Stone versus the total of his work since Days Like This.
I haven't heard any of these 3 albums yet, but from their description I put them in the same line as Bob Dylan's last 3 albums.
A conspiracy theorist would think this is Van's latest attempt to derail Legacy's reissue programme which started in 2015. After a good start it appears that has come to a halt, the way the 2008 remaster programme was stopped half way. Still no sight of his 70s/80s back catalogue properly reissued. The SDE of The Healing Game has been shown on amazon/jde.de for over a year now, still not released.
Catlow judith says:
Been a fan for over forty years and bought every album but I'm not impressed with the last two. Hoping this one is more like the old days.
Wish he would come back to France for a gig.
Fred Phoesh says:
I am a huge Van Morrison fan but I've let his last few albums where is trying to be all jazzy seem to be nothing short of Embarrassing. His voice just cannot hack it anymore. He sings off key so much of the time it is really quite annoying.
I like the idea that Van Morrison is still playing and releasing music – he's dedicated his life to it and I guess it's 'too late to stop now'. And I like the way he revisits earlier songs from his own catalogue and performs them as a mature artist.
However, every time I look at one of his new releases I can't help thinking that it must be years since someone took a bit of care with the artwork.
I think that cover looks rather cool…
johnny42 says:
I can't wait to hear this collaboration. I've been a huge fan of Joey for years. Not as big a fan of Van Morrison though. This looks really interesting!!
Wayne klein says:
What's up with Van doing all these albums? Not that I'm complaining but there's a sense of urgency to releases that we haven't seen in ages.
He's got an ex wife and kids to support!
The Masked Man says:
Maybe so, but it's not like record sales in the year 2018 are gonna do much for that…
Ben Williams says:
Great stuff. A very good time to be a Van fan! Like being back in the 60s and 70s when an artist could (and would) release two or three albums a year.
Steve Gentry says:
Been following DeFrancesco for many years. Look at musicians listed. No bass player? That's because Joey plays bass with his left hand and pedals better than any bass player you've ever heard. Looking forward to this release.

Marja Salaspuro, Amsterdam — No discussion, No tolerance, No Smudge in the Clean Image of Helsinki. Zero tolerance towards graffiti includes a strong resistance against an open discussion around what is allowed in the public space.
Last week in Helsinki, a celebration of the Anti-Smudge project gathered as a counterpart, a public demonstration demanding legal graffiti painting places. The battle was ready, several participants of the demonstration got arrested, newspapers were filled with discourse of war. To be honest, I don't care who is right and who is wrong (I guess nobody is perfect), but I want to spread a dream of more open discussion around what is allowed in the streets of Helsinki.
Yesterday I found from my unloaded moving box following post card. It is presenting Slovenian artist Igor Stomajers project called 'Foreign'. Foreign was displaying current verdicts about the different countries and was especially emphasizing the stereotypical division between East and West Europe.
In Stomajers' art work, the hierarchical division between the East and West changes once you try to read the sentences. The words tumble and meanings become interchangeable, just like in the current Graffiti/War discourse in Helsinki. There is a need to break stereotypes between 'East' and its scrawling subcultures and 'West' the Public Work Department of Helsinki city. In the end, a discussion about what visual elements are allowed in the urban public space should be an ongoing dialogue following the changing needs of the citizens and done in a manner which respects diversity and freedom of expression. Unfortunately, tolerance towards more diversified street communication is zero.
For those who are not aware, an Anti-Smudge Campaign has been in charge of Helsinki's effective cleaning process towards all kinds of unauthorized street communication in the public spaces. The definition of 'SMUDGE' includes graffiti paintings, posters, stickers and basically anything added in the urban public space. The zero tolerance means that there are no legal graffiti painting places and even ordered paintings have been eventually removed. The project has been going on for 10 years, but effective cleaning hasn't stopped the dream of more open discussion around what is allowed in public space as this weeks demonstration showed.
On Tuesday the 'invitation only' event in Finlandia Hall gathered Clean Image supporters for celebrating 10 years success of Anti-Smudge campaign. According to their statistics: in 1998 there were in excess of 67.000 smudges or graffiti in Helsinki, while last year the figure was a mere 5771.
The 'invitation only' event meant also effective gatekeeping. The reporters were kept out. According to Helsingin Sanomat, a national daily, even two Helsinki city councilors Paavo Arhinmäki (left party) and Kimmo Helistö (green), were evicted to enter the event. Not to mention that possible contradictory voices such as Youth Department was not invited neither.
Not everybody are convinced about the efficiency of zero tolerance policy (neither that Anti-Smudge has proved anything else that cleaning is done effectively). In fact, the demand for neutral non-aligned research around Anti-Smudge Campaign was even headlined in the main national daily newspaper.
Around 500 people took part in a "Smudge Fest" public demonstration, which was organised as a counterblast against the Anti-Smudge campaigns' Anniversary celebration. The demonstrators were gathering around Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art to demand legal graffiti painting places. By nine o'clock in the evening, the police had apprehended 27 demonstrators for throwing bottles, vandalising police vehicles, and spray-painting shop windows.
Afterwards the City is pressing charges for 1500 new smears which appeared during the chaotic "Smudge Fest" demonstration. Meanwhile demonstrators are accusing police force for being too rough, and the newspapers headlines emphasize emphasize 'war' position.
How about some tolerance and understanding?
This blog post is an open invitation to explore more tolerant ways to approach the battle around visual street communication in Finland (and everywhere). Actually stickers have already taken room from paintings.
If you have seen some incredible projects that were celebrating urban visual language, feel free to share. Helsinki needs new tools for expressing (legally) more diversified voices in the city space. Maybe creativity can be solution.
At the moment in Amsterdam, there are several projects related to Graffiti as a part of urban play and more sophisticated methods (easier to 'remove' or temporary by nature). Two of them are presented as a part of the Experimenta Design and Picnic cross media week.

The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism (RISJ) will host a workshop on 22nd October to examine the use of drone aircraft in newsgathering and to make recommendations for policy and best practices. The event is co-sponsored by the Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy at the University of Oxford.
Advances in aviation and electronic control systems are now allowing drone aircraft/UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) to move from military to civilian applications and they have potential uses and benefits for newsgathering by providing aerial platforms for photography and videography. Because of their relatively small size, they are portable and can easily be moved to locations were reporting needs to take place.
Drones will alter aerial newsgathering, which is now done primarily via helicopter and light aircraft, by reducing the cost of operations, making them available to a larger number of news organizations, and increasing the uses of aerial platforms in different types of reporting. Potential uses include traffic observation, crowd observation (events, demonstrations, and civil disorders), observing events and activities in areas where land-based access is restricted, and in both sports and entertainment production.
The development of drone technology and the increasing desire for its use in civilian contexts creates a variety of policy, regulatory, and ethical challenges. This workshop is designed to document the issues and formulate recommendations regarding their deployment in the UK, Europe, and globally and thus influence future policy debates. Policy issues include aviation law, flight regulation, and privacy concerns.
The event is being organised by Prof. Robert G. Picard, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, University of Oxford, David Goldberg, Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, University of Oxford, and Daniel Bennett, War Studies Department, Kings College London.

They've got sweet crepes, too!
(SPOT.ph) Power Plant Mall's resident food hall, The Grid, is known as a popular lunch destination for Rockwell regulars, but The Workshop at The Grid might have something that could get you to drop by for breakfast, too: A new line of sweet and savory crepes.
A touch of lemon juice brightens up the Butter Sugar Crepe.
Chopped pistachios give the Mango Butter Sugar Crepe a fun crunch.
You can't go wrong with the classic combination of chocolate and strawberries in the Dark Chocolate Strawberry Crepe.
Nutella fans shouldn't skip the Banana Nutella Brulee Crepe.
Of course, crepes aren't just meant for breakfast, but The Workshop's line of delicately decadent sweet crepes seem like the perfect way to start the day. All their crepes are made fresh with whole-wheat flour, so you can indulge with a little less guilt. There's the simple yet satisfying classic Butter Sugar Crepe (P190), which comes with a slice of lemon to brighten up the flavors—for a slight upgrade, have the Mango Butter Sugar Crepe (P190), which comes topped with ripe mango slices. Chocoholics can go for the Dark Chocolate Strawberry Crepe (P310), topped with fresh, juicy strawberries; or the Banana Nutella Brulee Crepe (P200), with toasted, caramelized banana slices adding an extra nutty sweetness.
A touch of lemon juice and a drizzle of sour cream is just the tang the Salmon Crepe needs.
For something filling and flavorful to start your day, have the Sausage Crepe.
In the mood for something savory? The Workshop won't disappoint with their line of savory crepes, which all comes stuffed with a gooey blend of four cheeses: Cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and emmental. There's the Mushroom Crepe (P210), chockful of umami with Shiitake and button mushrooms. The Salmon Crepe (P300) tastes a tad bit more luxurious with smoked salmon, sour cream, and sunny-side-up egg. Though for a sumptuous breakfast, nothing beats the Sausage Crepe (P260), which comes stuffed with smoky Hungarian sausage and a fried egg. Pair your crepe with coffee from EDSA BDG, also at The Grid, and you're good to go.
The Workshop is at The Grid, R2 Level Expansion, Power Plant Mall, Makati City.

With Americans donating at least $358 billion to charities last year, we certainly give with our hearts, but unfortunately, not so much with our heads, according to the latest AARP research.
70 percent who donated to a charity or fundraiser in the past 12 months did so without asking any questions about how the money would be spent.
60 percent donated without verifying that the recipient charity was legally authorized to raise money in their state.
52 percent said they weren't aware that professional fundraisers are allowed to keep most of the money they raise on behalf of their cited cause or organization, as long as they don't lie about their cut.
These alarming findings are especially noteworthy in December, when charities historically have received about 40 percent of their donations — and when scammers ramp up efforts to profit from the season's mantra of giving and from Americans' search for tax deductions before the Dec. 31 deadline.
This year charity scammers reached new highs and lows, what with the continuation of disaster relief schemes and the four sham cancer charities that were charged with bilking consumers out of $187 million before being busted by the Federal Trade Commission and officials of all 50 states.
Do your homework. Before donating, check with Charity Navigator, CharityWatch and the Wise Giving Alliance, operated by the Better Business Bureau. These three major charity watchdogs rate charities on factors such as how they spend money and protect donor privacy. (Each uses somewhat different criteria, so check short-listed charities with at least two, if not all three.) You can also contact the state agency that regulates charities where you live. In general, better-rated charities spend at least 75 percent of donations on program activities; fundraising efforts and administrative costs shouldn't exceed 35 percent.
Beware the name game. No matter the stated cause, con artists often seek a quick buck with an even quicker mention of their "organization." Some steal names of well-known and respected charities, but more opt for a sound-alike name such as the National Diabetes Association (as opposed to the legitimate American Diabetes Association), hoping you'll be tricked by their fast talking. Others use reputable-sounding names, such as the bogus Cancer Fund of America, Breast Cancer Society and Cancer Support Services — all of which were involved in that $187 million ruse. Be sure to get names straight when you check with charity watchdogs — and before you donate.
Consider how you are contacted. Unless you previously gave to that particular group — and already provided it with your email address — delete any incoming emails seeking a donation. Not only are these messages usually scams, but they also could contain links (often promising photos, information or other evidence of need for your money) that could harbor computer malware. Although legitimate charities often call for donations, especially this time of year, scammers do this, too. That's why you shouldn't trust caller ID, since fraudsters can disguise their true identities with spoofing software. Don't provide your credit card number unless you make the call. And when solicitors visit your home, if they are legit, they should provide informational materials you can authenticate (versus focusing on immediately getting cash or an in-hand check). Mailings are least likely to be scams, but again, do some due diligence to ensure they are not from a scammer with a printer and postage machine.
Avoid the middleman. Fundraisers who claim to be collecting "on behalf of" usually work on commission, getting 40 to 80 percent of your donation. In some cases charities get nothing or wind up paying more to third-party fundraisers than they take in. So it's best to donate directly to the charity of your choice.
Verify tax-exempt status. If you're concerned about getting a bona fide tax deduction, confirm a group's tax-exempt status by visiting the IRS website or requesting that the charity send you its tax return or Form 990.


Profit drop forecast at Tesco after costly comeback plan | City A.M.
British retail giant Tesco is expected to announce its first year-on-year decline in underlying profits in two decades, as a result of last year's expensive turnaround plan.
Analysts expect that the group will announce an underlying pretax profit of £3.5bn for the year to February 2013, down 10.7 per cent from £3.92bn the previous year, at its preliminary results tomorrow.
The company, which makes over 60 per cent of its revenues from its domestic market, has struggled to maintain its market share against rivals such as J Sainsbury and Asda. Following a profit alert last year, the retailer launched a one billion pound plan to claw back its position, investing in more staff and improved product ranges.
Other factors impacting Tesco's earnings are the Eurozone debt crisis, regulatory issues in South Korea and its loss-making Fresh & Easy business in the US.

Home Users' questions What crop is Alabama known for?
What crop is Alabama known for?
Users' questions Alice Hardie 11/03/2021 comments off
Cotton, corn, hay, peanuts, and soybeans are Alabama's top agricultural cash crops, found in most of the 40,592 farms that occupy 28% of the state's land area. These crops each contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to the state's coffers in 2018 alone.
What crop was rich in Alabama?
Cotton remained the dominant cash crop for the state, and the Black Belt and the Tennessee Valley continued to be Alabama's centers of cotton production.
What is the main economy of Alabama?
The state of Alabama has invested in aerospace, education, health care, banking, and various heavy industries, including automobile manufacturing, mineral extraction, steel production and fabrication. By 2006, crop and animal production in Alabama was valued at $1.5 billion.
What is Alabama's nickname?
Cotton State
Heart of DixieYellowhammer State
Alabama/Nicknames
Nickname: Alabama does not have an official nickname, but is often referred to as the "Heart of Dixie." It has also been called the "Cotton State" and the "Yellowhammer State."
What made cotton fail in Alabama?
Production per acre swelled in the 1880s, but began to drop due to a number of factors including soil erosion and productivity. English said steel and iron production in northern Alabama became more important to the state's economy, and the demand for Southern cotton slowed as overseas sources drove the price down.
Who was the most famous person in Alabama?
Four-time Olympic winner Jesse Owens and mighty boxer Evander Holyfield also hail from Alabama. Last but not the least, famous entertainers such as Channing Tatum, Courtney Cox and Lionel Richie, all started their humble beginnings from the state of Alabama.

In a YouGov poll of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, the nation's capital was ranked the worst, with Alabama and Mississippi tied for second worst and a three-way tie between Iowa, Arkansas and New Jersey for third worst.
Why does cotton grow well in Alabama?
Cotton made Alabama. It was perfect for the fertile soil settlers found in the area that fueled migration into territory originally settled by Native Americans. It lured Americans to flood the region and grow the crop, leading to a push for statehood.
Does Alabama still grow cotton?
Cotton production in the state is deeply embedded in Alabama's history. Alabama farmers planted nearly 540,000 acres of cotton in 2019. Farmers harvested 532,000 acres with estimated yields of 928 pounds per acre for a total of about 1,028,000 bales in 2019. Cotton is grown in 59 of Alabama's 67 counties.

Whew, August is flying by and so are our Summer Sprints. One month to go!
I'm continually inspired by your photos and I'm so excited that we're building up our stock image portfolios in time for the fall buying rush!
All of the reader images below struck me as having a very 'in the moment' feeling to them. These photographers all captured a passing moment with a story to tell.
I love the perspective of this image. Patrick made a great choice to angle his camera up and position the sun behind the bridge. Including the choppy waves and the illuminated flag blowing in the wind gives a strong sense of energy and movement.
Here's a creative take on a portrait! Tara found the perfect moment with her subject peering out from the slightly opened doorway, which creates a feeling of curiosity and mystery. She included just enough of the environment to make me wonder about this girl and her story, while also keeping the image beautifully simple and free of anything that would distract from her subject.
What a great moment caught between these two birds. By getting in close and blurring the background, Maggie has simplified what I imagine was a pretty chaotic scene. This keeps my eye locked on this interesting interaction, wondering what happens next.
Here's another powerful and unconventional portrait. The empty chairs in the background, combined with the subject's gaze towards the window creates a feeling of waiting, wondering, and expectation. This is something we can all relate to. Ann has done a great job of keeping the composition simple while including enough of the environment to tell the story.
Any photo that captures a moment and holds the viewer's attention is likely to do well as stock. As you're out photographing, keep in mind that buyers are always looking for compelling images that tell a story.
Of course, there are moments and stories happening all around us every day. The trick is to use your camera to simplify a busy world with uncluttered compositions.
We're coming up on our final push before the busy fall buying season begins! Get out your camera, take some shots, and upload, upload, upload. Let's do this!

There's a buzzword that seems to crop up in Australia whenever an industry becomes even slightly competitive: "skills shortage". After all, we are a small country, and the talent pools available to those in other developed countries are orders of magnitude larger than those we face here, argues Jeremy Crooks, managing director of digital performance ad company Criteo.
As a result, the skills — the really good skills — necessary to compete and dominate in the local market are more difficult to find.
But when it comes to advertising technology, I'd argue that recent talk of a skills shortage in Australia has little to do with the local skills available. Instead, it appears to betray a lack of attention paid to the incentives necessary to lure those skills from other companies — from competitors in advertising technology, technology generally, and elsewhere.
Just as at the dawn of the internet, Australia is several years behind the UK and the United States when it comes to the maturity of this industry. The local ad tech industry won't simply spring up of its own accord.
There may be some truth to a lack of skilled supply in Australia at the moment — it comes with the territory of a burgeoning industry. However, this issue won't be fixed overnight, and it certainly won't be fixed without some effort.
There are technology companies that have already forged the path in Australia. Google and Facebook, to name a couple, have faced a similar dearth of skills and responded by developing significant skills pools in Australia that ad tech companies should keep an eye on.
The other prominent discussion — that companies waste investment in training and educating when graduates simply head elsewhere in search of a bigger salary — need to look at their own internal cultures. If salary is the only sticking point, is it really a place that a 20–something with big eyes for the world wants to work for the next decade?
Growing the industry, and finding the right skills, doesn't come through money alone. Though salaries must be competitive, the incentives and perks that go alongside it are vital. Criteo is likely to significantly increase the number of Australian staff over the next couple of years, while simultaneously becoming one of the best places to work in Australia — that's not a mark measured solely in dollar signs.
Those succeeding in this industry, and finding the right talent, are those brands that have the people, the culture, the product and — perhaps most importantly — the credibility to really put a stake in the ground. They offer the real opportunities to help shape an industry that has a lot of work to do before it can proclaim to be at the level that our global counterparts have reached.
Major technology companies complained of skills shortages in recent years, saying they were paying too much for Australian talent, all the while cutting their ageing — and highly skilled — workforce, while failing to offer the entry-level jobs that would serve to increase skills across the industry. We need to learn from those mistakes, and work out how to develop the ad tech industry here in Australia, before we lose our talent to other markets or industries.

A mission to demonstrate an asteroid deflection technique just got a NASA promotion to the design phase. Called DART, the plan would see a refrigerator-sized spacecraft smash into a non-threatening asteroid, causing it to move ever so slightly from its original orbital path. The project is seen as an important first step in developing a planetary shield against incoming asteroids.
DART, which stands for Double Asteroid Redirection Test, is being designed by scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, and it will rely on the "kinetic impactor technique," whereby a fast moving spacecraft will smash into a Near Earth Object (NEO), causing it to gradually shift its orbit. Eventually, the tactic could be used to nudge an asteroid that's headed straight for Earth.
In what will be the first demonstration of its kind, DART will be tested on the smaller of two non-threatening asteroids in the Didymos system. The two asteroids in this binary pairing are known as Didymos A, which measures about a half-mile in diameter, and Didymos B, which is about 530 feet wide. NASA is hoping to smash a spacecraft into Didymos B in 2024. These rocky objects are similar in size and composition to many asteroids, including those that could wreak havoc on Earth.
For the mission, DART would fly to Didymos and use an autonomous onboard targeting system to aim itself at Didymos B. The refrigerator-sized spacecraft would strike the smaller asteroid at about 3.7 miles per second, which is about nine times faster than a bullet.
To the naked eye, this celestial collision won't appear as much, but Earth-based observatories should be able to measure the resulting change in the orbit of Didymos B around Didymos A. Even a small nudge should have an impact on its orbital trajectory, which will become more obvious over time.
Importantly, DART will allow scientists to better determine the effects of such impacts on asteroids, and the data gleaned from this mission could inform future efforts—including a mission to deflect an actual Earth-bound asteroid. This test will let scientists know how heavy and fast a kinetic impactor needs to be, or how many kinetic impactors might be required to sufficiently move a single target.

GRAND MARAIS, Mich. – An 11-year-old boy died at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore after a makeshift sand tunnel collapsed on him, officials said.The boy and other children were digging Tuesday into the face of the Grand Sable Dunes when tunnel gave way, covering the boy in 1 to 2 feet of sand, Pictured Rocks Superintendent Jim Northup said.
Man, that is awful. When I was a kid I bet I came close to this kind of death a dozen times. My friends and I would dig these deep holes in a sandpit out a ways back in the woods and fields behind our house. We'd dig them about 3 feet or so wide and deep enough for a kid to stand in. I think back on it and am amazed I survived my childhood.
I tried to dig a hole to China when I was a kid.

The Police Department maintains four K-9 teams. Three teams are assigned to the Patrol Division and one team is assigned to the Investigations Division.
Officer Peter Konow and his partner Rocco (Dutch Shepherd) and Officer Chris Sherwin and his partner Maximus (Malinois/German Shepherd) are assigned to patrol and work similar schedules to the patrol officers. These are uniformed positions, with each officer driving a specially marked K-9 vehicle. Along with general patrol duties, the patrol K-9 officers provide building searches, evidence and suspect searches, tracking of missing persons and suspects, as well as narcotics detection.
Officer Michael Buckley and his partner Jill (Bloodhound) are also assigned to the Patrol Division. Jill has been trained as a single-purpose dog to trail people who are missing. Bloodhounds are experts at detecting and discriminating scents, meaning that she can follow one individual's scent pattern wherever it might lie – on the ground or in the air. Bloodhounds have successfully followed trails after hours or even days have passed and can locate tracks crossing water, pavement or grass.
Officer David Lindgren and his partner Astor (German Short Hair) are assigned to the Investigations Division. Astor's breed is German Short Hair that is utilized for narcotics detection. Astor is a single-purpose dog. This simply means that he specializes in the function of narcotics identification.
The K-9 teams spend a considerable amount of time training in order to maintain their proficiency. The initial training consists of a rigorous 10-week program that not only prepares them for the jobs listed above, but also in how to work together as a team. After the initial training, the teams engage in formal bi-monthly training, which helps keep the team sharp. There are also countless hours of extra training time that these partners engage in to hone and master their craft. All of the teams are ILETSB certified, which is an annual procedure.
The use of K-9 teams has proven to be an excellent tool for this department and law enforcement in general. The K-9s have a keen sense of smell that gives them the ability to locate persons and/or evidence. The dogs also offer the handler and other officers an element of safety through their natural instinct to protect.
In addition to their work responsibilities, the K-9 officers are also heavily involved in the community, as they often make public appearances and give presentations to a variety of community groups. The K-9s are valued members of our family here at the Naperville Police Department and offer us another means to help keep our residents and community safe!

BoC to 'clarify' Metro curfew restrictions
Paul M. Gutierrez
THE Bureau of Customs (BoC) would seek 'clarification' from the Inter-Agency Task Force' (IATF) formed to combat the spread of the 'COVID-19' virus and the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) over the extent of the restrictions imposed on the movement of goods and people with the imposition of a metro-wide curfew in the region.
Atty. Vincent 'Jett' Maronilla, in a talk with this reporter yesterday, said they would seek the clarification on behalf of the truckers and other cargo handlers whose operations are on a 24-hour basis and considered vital in the country's business and economic supply chain.
The MMDA said the curfew, "unanimously approved" by the Metro Manila Council (MMC), would start at 8 p.m. today (Sunday) and would last until 5 a.m. each day until April 14, the end of the NCR-wide 'quarantine period' announced by the government.
"While the guidelines released by the MMC mentioned that those performing 'essential functions,' are exempted from the curfew, our definition of it may run contrary to those of others (agencies) tasked to implement the curfew," Maronilla pointed out.
"For example, we can view cargo haulers bringing out (of customs) imported goods such as food stuffs and raw materials for our manufacturers as 'essential functions' for the benefit of our economy. But this view may not be the same with those of our law enforcers, among others," he added.
National Capital Region police chief, P/MGen. Debold Sinas, had already warned that those 'defying' the curfew would be arrested by the police.
Maronilla said the need for the unhampered delivery of imported goods to their destinations, especially outside of Metro Manila, is important. He noted that despite the business disruptions caused by the COVID-19, the volume of arriving shipments in the country "is now actually starting to increase, indicating increased economic activity."
"We also don't want a repeat of port congestion that has proven costly to everyone simply because the issue of who are exempted from the curfew has not been clarified," he said.

We both enjoy bourbon more than the average casual drinker, but we are not geeks about the corn whiskey. We currently have, sitting in our liquor cabinet, bottles of Jim Beam, an artisan bourbon called Angel's Envy, and a blue corn bourbon which we picked up at the distillery in New Mexico. We usually have a bottle of Maker's Mark around the house as well. We even have some wretched tasting "white dog," made in New York, which is clear, unaged corn whiskey. Sounds like we're really drinkers, doesn't it, but those bottles will last years.
One thing we don't have, and had never tasted, is the legendary and elusive Pappy Van Winkle. In fact, we'd never even seen it. We'd heard the stories for long enough to know it as a "big thing" but, at $50, 60, 70 or more per pour, not per bottle, in bars, there was no way we were ever going to have a taste.
Then we found ourselves staying on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River, across from Cincinnati. We were there primarily to spend time in the city across the river – we were close enough that we actually walked across a bridge over the Ohio to the Great American Ball Park one night. But it was also interesting that, although we were within walking distance of Cincinnati, we were still clearly in Kentucky. While there were Cincy chili joints in the area, the region's restaurants clearly exhibited more Bluegrass State character than we'd expected.
We'd planned to go to a Kentucky restaurant in Fort Mitchell, the Greyhound Tavern, for their Monday and Tuesday fried chicken dinners. In checking out the online menu, we saw that they'd also posted a bourbon menu, with prices. And there were the Pappys, all of them, from the 10 to the 23-year-old versions, at we-can-do-this-once prices.
Which one to try? The 10 and 12-year-old whiskeys, while often referred to as Pappy Van Winkle, are really labelled Old Rip Van Winkle. Old Rip Van Winkle is the name of the distillery (the brand is actually distilled at the Buffalo Trace Distillery). While they are both supposed to be fine whiskeys, if we were going to have one chance to sample a Pappy, we were going to really sample a Pappy.
Everything we'd read indicated that the differences between the 15, 20, and 23 year bourbons were all a matter of taste, and people seemed to generally prefer the 15. As it was also the least expensive of the three, at only $25 a pour, that would be our pick. When we arrived at the restaurant and took our seats at the bar, the first thing we noticed was the bourbon menu. As we could have guessed, the online prices were out of date. The 15-year Pappy was now $30. Still a relative bargain (in the NYC area, pours of the 15 generally start at about $40 and, depending on the restaurant, could go as high as $80).
We got our Pappy, and dropped a small ice cube into the tawny liquid. This may seem like blasphemy to some, but at 107 proof we thought it was the right thing to do if we wanted to really taste what the whiskey had to offer rather than alcohol heat. Some waitresses gathered at the corner of the bar watching us in awe and whispering to each other. One of them asked what it tasted like. She wanted to know – was it super-smooth?
The first thing we noticed about the nose and the first taste was how tame the alcohol burn was, even at 107. As Colonel Potter once said about a treasured whiskey he shared with Gwen Verdon, "Not enough O's in smooooooth to describe this." The flavor? Imagine a top-quality English toffee with most of the sugar-sweetness removed, and add in just a touch of tobacco.
Was it worth the $30? To us, for one time only, sure. If you have the kind of dough such that a $30 drink means nothing, then why not? But we always think of those blind wine tastings where, even among wine experts, whites and reds can be confused if served at the same temperature. In other words, when it comes to alcoholic beverages, most of what you taste is in your head. Then again, the same could be said about most of life's experiences. If it makes you happy, although it might only be a delusion, so what?
We enjoyed our brush with Pappy. Know what we enjoyed even more? The fried chicken, gravy, and long-cooked green beans that followed.
I too went to the Greyhound Tavern. While I was tempted to get the Pappy…..I saw they had the VERY elusive Kentucky Owl for only $25 a pour. IT was well worth it. Probably one of the best bourbons I've ever had.
Nice! Would you do it again?
2. You put ice in Pappy 15.
2) Pappy 15 is bottled at 107.
You are obviously not a whiskey fanatic. Poor review. Please stick to reviewing fried foods.
Fred V, you are, of course, 100% correct.
+1 to that. If you highlight jim beam,makers, and swill from NM as your got too for bourbon you should never write a whiskey review. Complete garbage.
I jumped off the Pappy Waiting Wagon years ago. My wife and I love good bourbon. We we're first introduced to Pappy 10-12 years ago after reading an article in Garden & Gun about 4 great bourbons. I drove to my local big box liquor store and bought a bottle for around $79…. And at the time, a splurge. It was worth it though. No more!!! If you can find it around here, the 10 yr starts at $499 per bottle. 15 yr is $699. There are too damn many good bourbons out there to plunk down that kind of money. I'm done with them.
Hi Jeff – $500? $600? $700 or more? Those prices mean you're no longer paying for any theoretical quality. It's now rock star bourbon.
If someone is charging $499, $599+ the I don't recommend shopping from them. They are severely price gouging their customers. They really only cost under $100 each.
Thing is, David, we did not write a review of Pappy. Nor are we qualified to do so. We are dilettantes and made that plain from the top of our story. If you are reading Left at the Fork for an expert opinion on Pappy Van Winkle, you are in the wrong place.
Pappy Van media BS. I've seen and had Pappy multiple places in DC. Prices are not realistic as has been stated, but the availability was certainly there.

U-NITE under 'multiculturalism' but on our terms, thanks.
So, now that the other codes have been done and dusted it is time for the A-League to show its stuff, and frankly they couldn't have scripted a better match than the Melbourne Victory – Sydney FC match on Friday.
Sydney is currently on top of the ladder and Melbourne is second, and this encounter has been dubbed the 'Super Classico' of the A-League so that fact that both teams will play for top of the ladder will be an extra incentive. Added to that that Melbourne has enjoyed good attendances and provide plenty of atmosphere all these ingredients are ready to create a great match.
It is unsurprising then that Melbourne Victory has joined with the Victorian State Government to dub this match under the banner of U-NITE.
The press release is as follows:
Victoria's rich heritage will be on show at a sporting, music and food spectacular later this month when football fans unite as one to celebrate multiculturalism and diversity.
Joining Melbourne Victory players and fans for a kick on Etihad Stadium today, Acting Premier Rob Hulls urged as many Victorians as possible to turn out in force to support Australian football's biggest rivalry when Melbourne Victory meet Sydney FC at the U-NITE clash on Friday, October 9.
"Victorians are proud of our multicultural heritage and that's why we are proud to support programs that both promote and strengthen our rich cultural diversity, " Mr Hulls said. "Football is a passion for so many Victorians, and the success of Melbourne Victory is helping bring diverse communities together to celebrate their passion for the world game.
"While the Round 10 A-League clash between the reigning premiers and Sydney FC promises to be a great sporting spectacle, it's also a great opportunity to celebrate the contribution of all Victorians and the cultural diversity that makes our State such a great place to live."
Mr Hulls said the Brumby Labor Government had provided $20,000 funding for the U-NITE themed clash, providing an opportunity for 800 disadvantaged young people from a diverse range of backgrounds to attend the game and get more active and involved in sport.
The U-NITE clash will be held at Etihad Stadium on Friday, October 9 and will feature multicultural carnival entertainment showcasing international music, food and cultures.
"In Victoria we come from more than 200 countries of origin, speak more than 200 languages and dialects and follow almost 110 faiths – this enhances our reputation as a harmonious, vibrant and cohesive community," Mr Hulls said.
Melbourne Victory Chairman Geoff Lord said the game provided Victoria's multicultural communities with an opportunity to experience other cultures and support Melbourne Victory.
"Our football club is all about our fans, and we have created a fantastic environment for people to come together and enjoy our game," Mr Lord said.
"We've had a lot of positive feedback in relation to the welcoming atmosphere on offer at our games, so it's great to be able to celebrate a concept like this in recognising cultural diversity and the unity message."
Scottish-born Melbourne Victory coach Ernie Merrick said it was also an opportunity for Melbourne Victory fans to celebrate the unique cultural diversity of the club's players.
"Our fans are the best in the country, but I'm always fascinated to see how eclectic they are, with families, differing ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. I'm very supportive of the U-NITE concept and proud of what Victory has achieved in a short period of time with our fans," Mr Merrick said.
The sentiment behind this concept is laudable. It is true that Association Football is very diverse amongst people who play it and follow it (the AFL as well to be truthful) and it is good to publicise the match and also the Victorian Government kicking in some money so disadvantaged people can go to the match.
However this highlights for me something about the concept of multiculturalism in Australia. The fact is that despite all this talk about 'diversity' and 'other cultures' multiculturalism is limited and restricted by the dominant culture (which is anglo/celtic) to what it is seen to be acceptable, and a football match is a very glaring example of that.
In the media release we read about 'music' and 'food' but when it comes to other aspects of culture that somehow falls outside what are perceived to be 'safe' or 'acceptable' boundaries then the 'multiculturalism' tends to be ditched to the dictum 'we don't do these things here'.
Let's look at this picture of an European stadium.
This type of support is after all an expression of culture of many nations in Europe. Well, the active fans in the 'North end' of the stadium at Docklands had to negotiate long and hard before they were allowed to have big flags and a megaphone so that the capo could co-ordinate chants. Why? Probably because the type of organised support that is common in many countries is seen as 'foreign' here and therefore 'suspect' and dangerous. Look at the picture again, plenty of streamers. These I believe are still 'banned' at Etihad Stadium because they are seen as 'projectiles' and I have heard an account of a 14 year old girl being ejected because he threw one. Apparently bits of paper and cloth turn fans into rabid violent hooligans.
Before someone inevitably say 'flare' I agree that flares aren't a good idea. That is because they are a flame device and designed for maritime emergencies, and they are dangerous in crowded places and should not be brought into the stadium. But really, can we compare a flare to a bit of paper and a flag?
No, lets all celebrate multiculturalism with nice food, a few costumes and pretty dances. We accept other people's cultures, as long as you stay within the limits we impose on you.

There's never enough time to do all the chores and leisure that a human wants to do. There's still many mountains to climb, rivers to cross, swamps to ford, twisters to outrun. More time is needed and I have the solution.
Previously, I proposed an extra hour in the day. A 25 hour day would be manna from heaven. This gives us more time but it's as clear as daylight that this pilot plan does not fix the problem. My suggestion now is to add an extra month to the calendar. This idea is not as crazy as it sounds. It's obviously been done before.
Consider the calendarial ber month prefixes: sept, oct, nov, dec. I'm not an expert on these things but an educated guess would be, seven, eight, nine, ten. Yet these months September, October, November, December are months number nine, ten, eleven and twelve respectively. Somebody, somewhere along the line has added a few extra months to the total. Well played, that man, I know where you're coming from. They must have been short of time in the Dark Ages or whatever and thus made more time available.
Again with no knowledge on the subject, I refuse to google, I'll guess that the extra months added to knock the ber-ending months out of sequence would be the ones in the middle age. The girlie named ones: April, May, June. The Dark Ages man's old girlfriends have been set in stone on the calendar. As it's my brainstorm I get to select the name of the extra month. I'll go with tradition.
The month of Morag will be after June so it won't be long coming. It's magic, isn't it? All those new dates of birth, birthday cards, diary entries, extra holidays. And there'd be time for those many mountains to climb etc. It will give the cultural world a shot in the arm, too. Poets and writers will have new material to play with. The Hunt for Red Morag, The Teahouse of the Morag Moon. My love is like a red, red polythene bag, that's newly sprung in Morag.
Another addition is that I'd give the month of Morag 32 days. The old nursery rhyme, Thirty days Hath September, will have to be drastically amended giving Morag her pride of place. The reformed calendar signals a new era for Mankind. I await the thanks for all the Fergie extra time I've created.
And think of all the extra calendars that will have to be sold! A boon for the economy.
Could I suggest an alternative solution? Add 7 Fergie Days to the 2 months which always end too soon, May and September.
Am I compelled to explain those -ber months' names – and not for the first time here? Early Romans had 'hibernae', winter for two months. Why? There were no farmers' markets, no legal or other official meetings and the Serie A took a break. The month of Primus began on our 1st March. Simples. QED.
The Barbara Dickson comment is, in my opinion, one of your best ever. It's a fine song too.
I wonder if he'll get the reference.
J: One of her hits was "January, February". Good singer, I have seen her in concert.
Close but no coconut, FEEG.
JW was clearly (my opinion again) referring to a song from BD's folk period LPs.
All of her You Tube renditions are blocked but here's Christy Moore's version of what is obviously a reference to our own, cherished Gadfly.
My old man played his country and folk records every weekend. Still can't get some of those tunes out of my head. As we're talking calendars, January Man was indeed the one on my mind.
Well played, JM. With an honourable mention to his beardy front row buddy, FEEG.
A lot of my blogs contain a few double meanings and allusions. I'm not doing it to be smart or get one over people (Far from it, I know my place. I'm most likely to be the least smartest blogger on this site). We've all got our own styles and this is one of mine. When one of my subliminal messages is discovered, that's great. The majority do pass into the ether and that is probably the best place for them.
For example, I didn't expect anyone to get the connection between the Gores and the death metal band, Cannibal Corpse. The Corpse made an album called Gore Obsessed. Ah well, that's one pulled in from the ether.
… further to Janus's comment. Until 1750 New Year in the UK began on the 25th of March – thus allowing the various 'ber' months to retain their original meaning. The first New Year on 1st of January was in 1752. Later that year the UK's calendar changed from Julian to Gregorian and eleven days were 'removed' to bring the UK into line with the rest of Europe. It took other countries somewhat longer to change.
Far from adding more days it seems that, historically, all we've managed so far is to 'remove' days from the calendar!
Thanks for that JM – I knew that most Catholic countries adopted (slowly) the Gregorian Calendar from 1582, when it was first introduced – but that many Protestant countries thought it was all a "Fiendish Papist Plot"!
Clearly the Scots, despite being Protestant, saw the science behind the change and, being an independent country at that point did the "Right Thing".. I'm surprised that your Jamie didn't introduce the change into England. But he was quite a shrewd cookie and I guess he thought it wasn't worth the hassle of upsetting his newly acquired subjects!
Dating documents pre-1754 in the UK is a nightmare. Before that time most parish registers start their New Year on the 25th March, others, however, begin on the 1st of January. For those trying to trace their ancestors it is imperative that they go back to the original documents… too many transcriptions do not show whether account has been taken of the 'old form' of dating… and one ends up with a lot of 'illegitimate' children, or children dying before they were even born!
Acts of Parliament are dated in the whatever year of the Reign – so one has to work out the date of the accession of the relevant monarch. I think that is still the case?
And agricultural documents, most especially accounts, are dated from Michaelmas (29th September) to Michaelmas the following year.
The whole dating process is chaotic!
As a result, virtually all historical research in East Asia either gives ranges of dates or embraces the Western calendar for the sake of sanity and clarity.
Well at least I read all this.
I've got quite enough to do in this life and time thank you very much. sod extra days of further farting about.
Probably be quite glad to die just to get a rest.

AMES LISTS 6-MONTH PROFIT FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1988
By From staff reports
For the first time in nearly a decade, Rocky Hill-based Ames Department Stores made a profit in the first two quarters of the year.
The discount department store chain reported net income of $1.4 million, or 6 cents a share, for the six months that ended July 26. That compares with a net loss of $2.5 million, or 12 cents a share, for the comparable period last year.
This year's results mark the first time since 1988 that Ames has made money in the first half of the year. The numbers were bolstered by an unusually strong second quarter, in which net income jumped to $7.4 million, or 31 cents a share -- a 64 percent increase from the same period last year. The earnings beat by two cents the average estimate of three stock analysts that IBES Inc. surveyed.
Still, Ames' stock fell 81 cents Thursday, to $13.69, after the company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a revision of its business plan.
Although the revision included no changes in projected sales or earnings, Ames was less optimistic than in the past about its ability to outperform the plan, said Eric Beder, an analyst with HD Brous & Co. For the past six months, Ames has beaten the plan each month.
Beder said some traders may also have been confused by a change in the distribution of earnings in the revised plan, which some may have mistaken for a drop in projected earnings.
In early trading, the stock fell as much as $1.87 1/2 -- or 13 percent -- before recovering most of that ground.
Joseph R. Ettore, Ames' president and chief executive officer, said the strong quarterly earnings reflected upgrades at stores to make them more pleasant to shop, and "micromarketing" efforts to tailor merchandise at each store to the local market.
The company is also slowly increasing the number of stores it operates. In 1997, Ames has opened nine new stores, bringing the chain to 296 locations in 14 Northeastern states and the District of Columbia.
Physicians Health Services Inc.
Physicians Health Services Inc. in Shelton, which operates one of the largest health maintenance organizations in Connecticut, Thursday reported $1.14 million of second-quarter net income, compared with a $5 million loss a year earlier.
The company cited strong growth in enrollment and premium revenues.
The net profit was 12 cents a share, compared with a 54-cent-a- share loss a year earlier.
Premiums rose to $162.2 million for the quarter, from $118.4 million a year earlier.
Enrollment totaled 468,354 at the end of the second quarter, a 35 percent increase from the 1996 quarter. The company operates health plans in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.
Physicians Health is planning to be sold to Foundation Health Systems Inc. of Woodland Hills, Calif.
The deal is subject to approval by Connecticut insurance regulators, who have scheduled a public hearing on the matter for Aug. 29, and to approval by Physicians' shareholders.
American Savings Bank
New Britain-based American Savings Bank said its net income rose 14.4 percent in the first six months of 1997.
As of June 30, net income was $10.3 million, compared with $9 million for the first half of 1996. American Savings is a mutual bank, essentially owned by its depositors, and does not report per- share earnings.
Capital stood at $243.4 million, or 17.04 percent of total assets.
American Savings also set aside more than $1 million to be added to the permanent endowment of the bank's foundation, bringing its assets to $6.5 million as of June 30.
The foundation this year gave grants and scholarships totaling $202,000 to 21 community programs and 44 students.
Total assets were $1.4 billion, compared with $1.3 billion a year earlier.
Other Connecticut companies that issued earnings reports included:
EXECUTIVE RISK INC., Simsbury
2nd quarter ended June 30 1997 1996
Net Income $8.6m $5.6m
Per Share $0.83 $0.56
Premiums* $72.2m $57.3m
Net Investment Income* $8.9m $6.3m
Realized Capital Gains* $0.2m ($0.9m)
* Premiums are net written. Investment income and realized gains are after taxes. Executive Risk also announced that its stock as been added to the Standard & Poor's SmallCap 600 Index in the property- casualty industry group. The company sells directors' and officers', and professional liability insurance.

Everyone has heard about Pope Francis and Pope Tawadros meeting to discuss unifying the date of Easter between the two denominations. There is talk that the once separate event, will become on sacred holiday felt throughout the land. Think about how amazing it will be when the world of Christians unite together on the same evening to celebrate the same critically important subject: our salvation.
I really am so excited for this step, and can't believe that we can put politics aside and unite under our mutual belief of Jesus our Saviour!

Q: Универсальное решение проблем с кириллицей C++ Веду разработку на операционной системе macOS. Возникают кучи проблем с кириллицей (string или char*), например, при работе с функциями regex, ::tolower/::toupper и тд.
При запросе locale в терминале, имею следующее:
LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Использую C++11. Boost принципиально использовать не хочу и, желательно, чтобы решение могло быть перенесено в будущем на линкус (отсылка к непереносимому codecvt).
Собственно сам вопрос: как можно исправить проблему кириллицы во всей программе? Например, использовать грамотно locale.h (и как это - грамотно?) или что-нибудь еще.
UPD:
Вывод текста я осуществляю непосредственно в консоль. В консоль вывод происходит отлично, вот только преобразования через transform, используя параметры ::tolower, ::toupper успешно игнорируются. Используя codecvt я смог получить из string -> wstring, выполнил ::tolower и смог так же сделать wstring->string, однако, это явный "костыль" и использовать его всегда, когда мне надо что-то сделать с байтами строки - не выход.
Если я вывожу русский текст в ncurses, получается так:
(Я какой-то текст) "Я какой-?~Bо ?~Bек?~A?~B"

A: Очень понимаю ваше желание не использовать Boost(тоже такой принцип).
Что бы раз и навсегда забыть о проблемах с кодировкой лучше всего использовать utf8 и в STL есть его реализация wstring.
wstring str = u8"кириллический текст";//u8 преобразует ansi символы в utf8.

Используя wstring о проблемах с локалью можно забыть.
Из плюсов это переносимость на всё что угодно, а из минусов это повышенное потребление памяти(не смертельно но всё же).
И, кстати говоря, считается правилом хорошего тона не использовать std::wcout и std::cout (равно как и пару std::wcin и std::cin) в пределах одного приложения(есть проблемы их совместного использования).

iOS Gmail Users Will Be Able To Access Multiple Accounts
Posted by itsatechs On November 8, 2018
Earlier this year, Google introduced a new and improved Gmail that gave users virtually unlimited customization options. In addition to that, it included some exciting new AI-based features that cut down on repetitive tasks and made email management significantly easier. These advancements are important in this day and age, given the sheer volume of messages most of us tend to get.
iOS Gmail users have historically lagged behind their Android counterparts, but that finally seems to be changing. In the company's most recent update, iOS Gmail users will at long last get access to a feature that Android users have been enjoying for quite some time: An "All Inboxes" view. This view allows an iOS Gmail user to access all of their email messages from all of their Gmail accounts in a single inbox.
The new feature isn't yet available - there's no mention of it on the release notes on the App Store, but in coming weeks, it will put in a long overdue appearance.
That's big news because many people have more than one Gmail account. At present, to access their various inboxes on Apple devices, the only option is to go to the navigation drawer and "switch user." Needless to say, it's a cumbersome operation that takes more time than it should.
Once the new feature becomes available, all you'll need to do to access it will be to go to the left-hand side of the navigation drawer and select the "all inboxes" option.
It should be noted that although this view puts all your emails under one umbrella for viewing, none of those mails are actually shared between the various accounts you have. There is no cross-pollination of inboxes; it is simply a single view that allows you to access them all at once. It's a great move and we're thrilled to finally see it.

Students Want Apology from Missouri Administrator Who Preached Christianity at Graduation May 15, 2017 Hemant Mehta
Students Want Apology from Missouri Administrator Who Preached Christianity at Graduation
A Missouri public school administrator deciding to turn a graduation ceremony into a church service over the weekend. Willard High School's Superintendent Kent Medlin should have talked about the students' future; instead, he gave a sermon.
"He asked students to stand up and pray as a Christian, quoting the Bible numerous times throughout. Many students felt extremely ostracized by the situation, when choosing not to pray," said Ashlynn Bradley, a senior. "Dr. Medlin, the superintendent, even invited students to his office for coffee to discuss 'the Lord.' This was incredibly inappropriate."
It's not that he tried to exclude them. It's that he assumed everyone would be just fine with him talking about Christianity at a time when they should've been celebrating their high school careers and looking to the future.
Medlin said he gave a speech using the acronym GUTS and the first three letters stood for grit, understanding and teamwork. In talking about the "S" he said everyone needs somebody or something that will guide them to the finish line.
He said he told the crowd: "For me, that S stands for my savior."
Medlin acknowledged he concluded his speech by inviting families and community members to stand and join him, if they wanted to, as he recited what he described as "a blessing" for the 307 graduates.
No church/state separation group has sent a warning letter to the District just yet — it's too early — but some of the students told reporters that they had warned Medlin against preaching at graduation. Again.
Bradley said over the years Medlin has included a "small prayer" during graduation but several students sent letters asking him to skip that this year.
"We asked him to please refrain from doing so because it makes others uncomfortable," she said.
Asked if he received such requests, Medlin said no.
"We hope we'll set a precedent in Willard so other students don't have to go through what we went through," she said.
When students have to educate their administrators on the law, you know things are bad. (Or good, I suppose. This District is clearly sending smart students to college.)
Bradley wasn't the only student speaking out. Even students who appeared to share Medlin's beliefs thought he went too far.
Sophia Spangler, a senior who spoke at graduation, said the prayer didn't contradict her beliefs and there were many Christians at the ceremony who likely felt comfortable. But, she believes Medlin's actions were out of line.
"There were a number of individuals who were made uncomfortable," she said. "We live in an area of predominately one faith but that can be isolating to people of other faiths."
Joseph Amundson, a senior, said he chose not to stand and doesn't want future graduates to feel the same pressure.
"I was upset by it. I thought it was offensive to anyone who was attending who was not of the Christian faith," he said. "I didn't stand because it made me so mad that he did that."
Holy crap, these students are amazing.
Medlin didn't say he would stop preaching at graduations. So far, here's only offered an apology if anyone was "offended." As if this would've been okay if no one was brave enough to speak up.
Needless to say, prayer at graduation ceremonies is unconstitutional. Quoting the Bible and leading Christian prayers has no place at this kind of event. Even in Missouri.
Medlin didn't "inspire" students with his devotion. He turned a ceremony for the students into a celebration of his personal religion.
"I came there to graduate, not go to church. It kind of ruined the rest of my night," said Preston Schaeffer, a senior. "That was the last night of my high school experience and he chose to talk about religion instead of graduation."
Medlin owes all of them an apology, and he needs to promise never to bring up his faith while on the clock ever again. And any Christians who claim he did nothing wrong should tell us if this would've been acceptable if a Muslim administrator did it instead.
