• "Thank you for the wonderful information and insight that you put into the festival blog. It's such a joy to have people in the world who value and share the beauty around us. I'm so glad we found you. I just wanted to thank you so much again for your honesty and time. A few times in a life, you're exposed to something that sticks with you from that point forward, and your advice (about our film) has fallen into that category. I've made significant changes to the film over this last year, with your words always in the back of my mind: a great deal more visuals, and a great deal fewer talking heads. Again, thank you so much, I'll always be in your debt." ~ Heather Spencer, Mission Possible Films, Hawaii

Wu Tianming, known for his fame as a film director and esteemed mentor. For his outstanding contributions to Chinese cinema, he received many honors both from China and internationally. As the manager (and later president) of Xi'an Film Studios, he oversaw production of many renowned films. His own efforts as a film director have earned him many international awards and accolade. Known as the "Godfather of the Fifth Generation," Wu directed several celebrated films that reshaped Chinese cinema, including The Old Well (1986) and The King of Masks (1996). These films, along with Life (1984), CEO (2002) and his final feature, Song of the Phoenix (2013), earned praise by critics around the world. His films were simple, resilient and full of humanity.
As he was gaining stature as a filmmaker, Wu was offered the position of head of Xi'an Film Studios in the early 1980s. As the youngest person to head the studio, he fostered a creative environment for "Fifth Generation" directors. Filmmakers mentored by Wu went on to create such global critical and commercial hits as Raise the Red Lantern, Farewell My Concubine, House of Flying Daggers and Hero, among others.

Janina Dziarnowska (ur. 1903 w Makiejewce w Zagłębiu Donieckim, zm. 22 grudnia 1992) – polska pisarka i tłumaczka, reportażystka, publicystka, znawczyni literatury radzieckiej.

Życiorys
W 1918 powróciła do Polski i podjęła studia w Instytucie Pedagogicznym Wolnej Wszechnicy Polskiej. W 1921 rozpoczęła pracę nauczycielską, a jako mieszkanka WSM na Żoliborzu, silnie zainteresowała się działalnością społeczną, organizując pozaszkolne życie młodzieży. W 1936 została członkiem  Komunistycznej Partii Polski. Podczas okupacji pozostawała w Warszawie i organizowała nielegalne nauczanie młodzieży oraz pomagała rodzinom osób aresztowanych przez Niemców. Ten okres swojego życia opisała potem w Powieści o Annie. Po wojnie uczestniczyła w zagospodarowywaniu Ziem Odzyskanych, co z kolei znalazło odzwierciedlenie w powieści Miasto nowych ludzi.

Była członkiem PPR, a od 1948 roku – PZPR.

Odznaczona m.in. Krzyżem Kawalerskim Orderu Odrodzenia Polski (1955) i Medalem 10-lecia Polski Ludowej (1955). W 1974 otrzymała Order Sztandaru Pracy II klasy.

This painting began a while ago but I elaborated on it when Leonard Cohen died. Listening to his last album while painting was a bit strange for me. I also went back so some of his older work. The piece still feels very transitory for me, but I've come to terms with that and need to let it go.
This year has been pretty rough on everyone. We've lost a lot of creative people and I'm fortunate to have had this project to come 'face to face' with the ones that affected me most. Each of them has had distinctly different outcomes and I'm grateful for the chance to see them to fruition as best I could. David Bowie, Prince and now Leonard Cohen. We were lucky to have them all. I hope the transition was peaceful and thank you for all your work.

Beast of Property, The, by Johann Most
Johann Most's most famous speech. "Among the beasts of prey man is certainly the worst." This expression, very commonly made nowadays, is only relatively true. Not man as such, but man in connection with wealth is a beast of prey. The richer a man, the greater his greed for more. We may call such a monster the `beast of property." It now rules the world, making mankind miserable. and gains in cruelty and voracity with the progress of our so called `civilization " This monster we will in the following characterize and recommend to extermination. Look about ye! In every so-called "civilized" country there are among every 100 men about 95 more or less destitute and about 5 money-bags.

Fate-Force Freedom, by Charlotte Wilson
A Bas-Relief
A haggard old woman, with a countenance of iron and a dull fixed stare, is striding steadily forward with Ion- steps, driving before her with her withered arm a second female figure. This second figure is of majestic stature and well nourished, with herculean muscles and massive head upon her strong neck. But, alas! she is blind. Before her she is driving a lovely maiden. The maiden has bright and sparkling eyes. She resists, turns back, raises her delicate hands. Impatience and courage are marked upon her countenance. She hates to obey, hates to go whither the other is driving her; and nevertheless she is compelled to yield, and she goes onward. Necessitas-Vis-Libertas. Let him translate who cares to do so.

I WAS the only son of my father. I was very young at the period of the death of my mother, and have retained scarcely any recollection of her. My father was so much affected by the loss of the amiable and affectionate partner of his days, that he resolved to withdraw forever from those scenes, where every object he saw was ssociated with the ideas of her kindness, her accomplishments, and her virtues: and, being habitually a lover of the sublime and romantic features of nature, he fixed upon a spot in Merionethshire, near the foot of Cader Idris, for...

Ideas That Have Harmed Mankind, by Bertrand Russell
Ideas that Have Harmed Mankind from "Unpopular Essays" by Bertrand Russell . The misfortunes of human beings may be divided into two classes: First, those inflicted by the non-human environment and, second, those inflicted by other people. As mankind have progressed in knowledge and technique, the second class has become a continually increasing percentage of the total. In old times, famine, for example, was due to natural causes, and although people did their best to combat it, large numbers of them died of starvation. At the present moment large parts of the world are faced with the threat of famine, but although natural causes have contributed to the situation, the principal causes are human. For six years the civilized nations of the wo... (From : http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/2528/br_ide....)

From: William Godwin . Imogen: A Pastoral Romance From the Ancient British. PREFACE If we could allow ourselves in that license of conjecture, which is become almost inseparable from the character of an editor, we should say: That Milton having written it upon the borders of Wales, might have had easy recourse to the manuscript whose contents are now first given to the public: And that the singularity of preserving the name of the place where it was first performed in the title of his poem, was intended for an ingenuous and well-bred acknowledgement of the source from whence he drew his choicest materials. But notwithstanding the plausibility of these conjectures, we are now inclined to give up our original opinion, and to ascribe the performance to a gentleman of Wales, who lived so late as the reign of king William the third. The name of this amiable person was Rice ap Thomas. The romance was certainly at one time in his...

Godwin, William. Of Population. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme and Brown, Paternoster Row, 1820. CHAPTER II. SURVEY OF THE CREATION FROM NATURAL HISTORY. Previously to our entering directly on the subject before us, it will probably be found not wholly unworthy of attention to recollect, in how different a way the multiplication of the human species has ordinarily been regarded, by writers whose purpose it was to survey the various classes of existence that form the subject of natural history, and who were satisfied to discover "the wisdom of God in the works of creation," from the ideas expressed by Mr. Malthus. The following is the manner in which the subject is stated by Goldsmith, one of the latest of the number, in his History of the Earth and Animated Nature.

Traffic in Women, The, by Emma Goldman
OUR REFORMERS have suddenly made a great discovery--the white slave traffic. The papers are full of these "unheard-of conditions," and lawmakers are already planning a new set of laws to check the horror. It is significant that whenever the public mind is to be diverted from a great social wrong, a crusade is inaugurated against indecency, gambling, saloons, etc. And what is the result of such crusades? Gambling is increasing, saloons are doing a lively business through back entrances, prostitution is at its height, and the system of pimps and cadets is but aggravated. How is it that an institution, known almost to every child, should have been discovered so suddenly? How is it that this evil, known to all sociologists, should now be made s...

With this I do not mean to propose a peace treaty. The general social antagonism which has taken hold of our entire public life today, brought about through the force of opposing and contradictory interests, will crumble to pieces when the reorganization of our social life, based upon the principles of economic justice, shall have become a reality.

Woman Suffrage, by Emma Goldman
We boast of the age of advancement, of science, and progress. Is it not strange, then, that we still believe in fetish worship? True, our fetishes have different form and substance, yet in their power over the human mind they are still as disastrous as were those of old. Our modern fetish is universal suffrage. Those who have not yet achieved that goal fight bloody revolutions to obtain it, and those who have enjoyed its reign bring heavy sacrifice to the altar of this omnipotent deity. Woe to the heretic who dare question that divinity! Woman, even more than man, is a fetish worshiper, and though her idols may change, she is ever on her knees, ever holding up her hands, ever blind to the fact that her god has feet of clay. Thus woman has b... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

Lisa Elkins, a licensed architect, co-owner of 2 Point Perspective, Inc., in Chicago, and a LEED-accredited professional who speaks to groups about green building, says the upfront costs of building green are often offset by a decrease in long-term life cycle costs.
Elkins says making even small improvements to indoor environmental quality such as increased fresh air, adequate amounts of daylight indoors and views of nature can reap some financial benefits.
A University of California Berkeley Institute of Business and Economic Research study in April 2011 called "The Economics of Green Buildings" (www.energystar.gov/buildings/tools-and-resources/economics-green-building) says buildings with green ratings command higher rental and occupancy rates.

Алексей Яковлевич Шубин (1707—1766) — фаворит цесаревны Елизаветы Петровны, генерал-поручик.

Родился в 1707 году в семье бедного владимирского помещика из окрестностей Александрова. Начал службу в Семёновском полку обычным гвардейским солдатом в 1721 году. В дальнейшем был произведён в унтер-офицеры, а потом в прапорщики.

Отличался редкой красотой, ловкостью и энергичностью. Елизавета Петровна, при которой он служил ординарцем, дарила его своими симпатиями и слыла между семёновцами под именем «матушки». Елизавета писала пылкие любовные поэмы Шубину.  Анна Иоанновна после вступления на престол удалила Шубина от двора цесаревны в Ревель — в Дерптский полк, а 31 декабря 1731 года он был возвращён в Петербург, отправлен в Тайную канцелярию, где подвергнут жестоким пыткам и наказанию кнутом и в январе 1732 года отправлен на Камчатку, где он был насильно обвенчан с местной жительницей.

Вступив на престол, императрица Елизавета Петровна приказала отыскать Шубина. После долгих поисков его отыскали и привезли в Петербург летом 1743 года. «За невинное претерпение» он был произведён из прапорщиков сразу в генерал-майоры и в премьер-майоры Лейб-гвардии Семёновского полка, награждён орденом Св. Александра Невского и пожалован вотчиной в Макарьевском уезде Нижегородской губернии, село Работки, с 2000 крестьян.

В следующем году Шубин, недовольный предпочтением, оказываемым императрицей Разумовскому, вышел в отставку в чине генерал-поручика и поселился в своём имении.

It's been a while since Alain Cavalier chose digital video (DV format) to shoot intimate personal mosaics, diaries of immense depth dealing with life, death, and things between. Ce répondeur ne prend pas de messages (1978) was an early precursor of this autobiographical style that gave birth to films such as La Recontre (1996), Le Filmeur (2005), Iréne (2009) and even the anecdotic short documentary Lieux Saints (2007) which dealt with Cavalier's own intimate revelations in public bathrooms.
In Pater (2011) Cavalier takes a detour from his own trademark style to reinvent himself in a revealing, outstanding way. Creating a fictional political drama from what seems to be an amicable game between friends, the director discovers a filmic metalanguage which speaks of his own methods of filmmaking, while the biographical eye of his early films remains intact in passages where the interaction between the man and the players on his game (Vicent Lindon giving an outstanding performance, in and out of character) takes a casual, almost intimate role.
Different levels of cinematographic languages deal with what appears to be Cavalier's current concerns: Modern politics and political power play, the casual relation and interaction between friends (who in playing the game of making a movie, also reveal a great deal of biography), and the substantial importance of his method of shooting, which he discusses in detail in some scenes with Lindon and Bernard Bureau, one of his real life friends. All of this creates a fantastic kaleidoscope in which these elements (the documentary, the film essay, the fiction) overlap, conflict with each other, brawl in a confused but perfectly formed oeuvre, which blurs the already diffused lines between genres in modern cinema.
Deliberately renouncing the ordeals of big production companies, Cavalier found a new "intimacy of the method" with the modest DV format and created a sort of personal new genre (or deconstructed a series of old genres), an accomplishment that truly puts him among the best filmmakers of his time. Pater is an overlooked masterpiece.


The evidence was there all along, according to a top Democratic pollster.
WASHINGTON ― Remember when pundits hailed the election of Barack Obama as the beginning of a "post-racial" America?
After the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, it seems like a distant memory. But in 2008, it was the prevailing wisdom among political commentators.
Cornell Belcher, a long-time Democratic pollster who worked on both of Obama's presidential campaigns, started seeing through the mirage of racial harmony well before Trump's election made it obvious. In Belcher's book, A Black Man in the White House: Barack Obama and the Triggering of America's Racial-Aversion Crisis, released weeks ahead of Trump's election, he presents years of research showing that white resentment grew steadily under Obama.
The answers, collected over the course of eight years, showed a hardening of white attitudes toward people of color. Belcher attributes that trend not just to Obama, but to the rising coalition of communities of color that elected Obama.
Obama won reelection with just 39 percent of the white vote nationwide, not just by turning out more people of color, but also by taking advantage of the fact that the country simply had more voting-age people of color to turn out, Belcher noted. The changes that made that victory possible scared many of the white voters who went on to vote for Trump, according to the pollster.
Trump "is a George Wallace-like historical figure. The difference is that George Wallace could not win the Republican primary. He couldn't win the nomination and become president," Belcher said.
Now Belcher is warning against Democratic analysts who see a message of economic empowerment alone as the key to rebuilding the party.


Recently Katijha, who is the daughter of AR Rahman, gave a speech on stage about her father. During her speech, she was wearing a burkah which lead many to comment in a negative way and to make fun of her. Today, Katija took to her social media and addressed the concerns many had about her wearing a burkah, and that is totally her choice to do so and her father did not force it on her.

The dying water bodies!
Hokersar
Dal Lake
Wular Lake
Last year in these columns the tragic state of our water bodies was described in detail with the hope that some concrete action would be initiated to save these. Unfortunately, nothing substantial has been achieved. Only tons upon tons of weed are being taken out. No strong and positive action is being taken to address the basic causes of pollution and encroachment of these water bodies. We have physically eaten away these and in many cases polluted these beyond redemption.
As the legend describes it, Kashmir Valley was a huge lake. Kalhana, the author of the earliest recoded history of Kashmir, Rajtarangni, states that the valley of Kashmir was a huge lake called Satisar. The Lake was drained through the Varmul gorge by Kashyap Reshi after killing the demon Jalodbhava guarding the outlet. The draining of the Lake reclaimed the present valley of Kashmir. The geological findings especially the presence of Karewas (geological formations of sedimentary clay) throughout the valley confirm this mythological belief. For thousands of years Kashmiris had the privilege of having the last remnants of Satisar as Wular, Manasbal, Dal, and Nageen. These water bodies were our living heritage from the times immemorial. In fact, as per the findings at Burzhom and many other similar places, the human civilisation in Kashmir started on the banks of these water bodies right from the Neolithic age.
For centuries these water bodies survived and were the pride of Kashmir. Till the middle of the last century that is during the reign of the erstwhile Maharaja Hari Singh, most of the Lakes including the smaller water bodies and even the canals of Srinagar survived and continued to exist. However, with the freedom of the sub-continent and ushering in of the popular peoples' governments, these water bodies started slowly shrinking and even disappearing. During the autocratic rule people respected the law and there was no escape for violators in any field. Even most of our lush green forests also continued their existence during Maharaja's reign.
It is just in last 3 to 4 decades that we, the present inhabitants of the so called "Paradise on Earth", have (due to our insatiable material greed) brought these to total ruination. Three fourths of blame for ruining these water bodies can be squarely placed on the local people. This is especially true of the Dal Lake. It is immaterial as to who has done how much damage, whether these are house boat owners, hoteliers, vegetable growers, residents inside or on the banks of the lake. Damage beyond redemption has not only been done but is continuing on a daily basis.
As regards the role of the people entrusted with the restoration of the Lake, there can be no better judgement than that given by the former Chief Minister Azad who publicly admitted that the Lake has become a "Money Minting Machine" for the politicians! He said so in spite of the fact that the political set up he was blaming was headed by him. The most unfortunate part of the tragedy is that the government had woken up towards the necessity of restoring and conserving the Lake in mid-seventies itself. The best ever report for the restoration and conservation of Dal Lake was prepared in 1977 by a team of New Zealand consultants (Enex Consortium). The consultants had made some very practical recommendations for initiating measures to arrest the further deterioration in the condition of the Lake as also to restore it to its previous glory. These measures would have stopped accumulation of nutrients in the lake and over a period of time this would result in a net loss of nutrients that would in turn curb weed growth and thus improve the water quality. The Enex report provided cost estimates and based on analysis deemed the proposed improvements economically feasible. In fact, at that time the Overseas Development Agency of U.K. and the World Bank had offered to fund the restoration of the Lake through some international agency.
The only remedy is a peoples' movement to save our heritage and the water of life. Without water there is no life. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his "Man ki Baat" address stressed the necessity of conserving water. According to him in ancient India it was said that if iron is touched by "Paras" it turns into gold! But now present "Paras" is water. The water is God's blessing. He has directed all concerned to ensure conservation of water. He has also appealed to people to make every effort to conserve every drop of water. It is a very good initiative. Let us hope his directions percolate down to his administration in the State and practical steps are taken not only to conserve still existing water bodies but the ones which have disappeared or at present are being choked are redeemed and reclaimed. It is also incumbent on the local leadership to start a mass movement both for conservation of water bodies and reclamation of the dying and the already dead water bodies! In the alternative, due to the global climate change the Paradise on Earth may turn into a desert like the Sahara desert!

Detainees' kids to get gifts
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Around 200 children, aged 12 years old and below, of persons deprived of liberty, will receive gifts on December 9 and 16 at the compound of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology in the city.
The project, "Pangandoy sa Pasko" was launched by the city government of Dumaguete, in cooperation with the City Social Welfare and Development Office and the BJMP, to provide cheer to the sons and daughters of PDLs from the male and female dormitories of the district jail in Dumaguete.
The kids were pre-identified and screened by the BJMP, headed by Maj. Jonairy Sitchon, to receive their Christmas wishes from well-meaning citizens of Dumaguete.
It allows the children to list down their wishes, from shoes, clothes, toys, and dolls to food.
City tourism officer Jacque Veloso Antonio said it is heartening to note that there are children who wish that they will be reunited with their parents on or before Christmas, and some also wish they will have food for Noche Buena with the rest of the family, while their loved ones are in the district jail.
Those interested in sharing their blessings could get in touch with the CSWDO at 422-8117, or the City Tourism Office at dumaguetetourism@gmail.com. The cut-off date will be on December 5 to give time for social workers to sort out and prepare the gifts for distribution.
Most common and simple wishes of the children include clothes, T-shirts, shoes, and bicycles, it doesn't have to be branded or brand new, outgrown bikes will do, Antonio said.
Meanwhile, Antonio said the city ordered 650 Christmas lanterns from the PDLs, so they will have income during the Christmas season.
She said the Christmas tree lighting-up ceremony is on December 6 to coincide with the Christmas choir competition, at Quezon Park.
Antonio said the competition is open to all choirs all over the province, and the deadline for submission of entries is today.*

Tuesday's Must-Stream Movies: 3 for the Princesses
A holiday for girls everywhere is coming up tomorrow, which is National Princess Day! Today, we're sticking with 3 non-Disney princess movies to stream.
By Jesse Conner
There are a couple important holidays that are happening tomorrow...which might be especially relevant for those that love tiaras and/or magical adventures.
Nov. 18th is both National Princess Day and Mickey Mouse's birthday!
Since we'll obviously have some Disney princess content coming your way then, we figured we'd stick to 3 non-Disney princess movies for our Tuesday picks.
That said, we think these princesses might give the Disney ones a run for their money.

A winning princess and movie for all ages, Rob Reiner's 1987 classic (based on the also classic book by famed screenwriter William Goldman) is a mix of fantasy, comedy, action, romance and one truly winning lady named Buttercup, winningly played by Robin Wright (the future Jenny in "Forrest Gump").
It's the story of true love between Buttercup and Westley (Cary Elwes), whose relationship is interrupted by the truly despicable Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon). Thankfully for both Buttercup and the resourceful Westley (aka The Dread Pirate Roberts), they have friends on hand, including swordsman Inigo Montoya, seeking justice for his father's murder, and benevolent giant Fezzik (the lovable Andre the Giant).
It's a completely captivating motion picture experience with an incredibly special princess at its center.

One of the most underrated princesses of all time is the one and only Princess Fiona (voice of Cameron Diaz). She has all the class and grace that goes along with being a princess, but that doesn't mean she won't let out a burp after a good meal - hey, she's a fully confident and three dimensional character. She is also the true definition of a princess because she doesn't need a knight in shining armor to save her. If anything, she'll probably be the one saving him.
Now streaming on: Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, YouTube, & VUDU
Animated / 2001 / PG
Synopsis: Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers) whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy tale characters. They were all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). Determined to save their home -- not to mention his -- Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) to be Farquaad's bride. Rescuing the Princess may be small compared to her deep, dark secret.
In a land of singing, dancing, and hugging, there is one princess who makes sure that her world is always happy, and that princess is Poppy. No matter what is thrown at this ray of sunshine, she always manages to get back up again and continue to light the way for herself and anyone who follows her. She will do whatever it takes for her and her people to be happy and she'll do it the only way she knows how...by spreading joy to everyone who crosses her path.
Synopsis: After the Bergens invade Troll Village, Poppy (Anna Kendrick), the happiest Troll ever born, and the overly-cautious, curmudgeonly Branch (Justin Timberlake) set off on a journey to rescue her friends. Their mission is full of adventure and mishaps, as this mismatched duo try to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done.

A shark ADVICE has been issued due to a confirmed shark sighting at a number of beaches Swanbourne, Floreat and City Beach today. A whale, believed to be a Southern Right Whale, was seen travelling close to the beaches being followed by a white shark. A number of shark sightings have also been reported at Mettam's Pool Beach and North Beach over the last two days.
Fisheries advise Shoalwater Bay beach has been re-opened today, following the removal of the whale carcass late Saturday.
A shark ADVICE has been issued due to a whale carcass being reported at the sandbar between Seal Island and the mainland, approximately 500 metres off shore from Shoalwater Bay in the City of Rockingham.
A shark WARNING has been issued for Toms Surf Break in North Beach, after a series of reports at this location during the past several days. The most recent report was made by a member of the public after midday today (Friday 22 July).
A shark ADVICE remains in place for the area between Quininup and Wilyabrup, due to a whale carcass washed ashore at Honeycombs Surfing Spot, north of Gracetown earlier this week.
The carcass has now been removed, and Honeycombs Beach has been reopened.
• The whale carcass was reported by a member of the public to the Department of Parks and Wildlife at approximately noon Monday.
• Although it has now been removed, it is possible some leaching from the decomposing carcass occured during clean up, will act as an attractant that could lead to sharks coming close in to shore along this stretch of coast, so water users are advised to take caution.
• While it's not uncommon for sharks to be present off the Western Australian coast throughout the year, people should exercise additional caution while the whale carcass remains close to shore.
A partial outage occurred this morning between 08:40am and 10:00am in the SharkSmart website element of the WA shark notification system.
Department of Fisheries has since restored the system to full operational status, and the information on the site is now fully updated.
At the beginning of school holidays the Department of Fisheries has issued a shark WARNING for water users in the northern suburbs of the Perth Metropolitan area, for beaches, surf and dive spots, between Hillarys Boat Harbour and Trigg Point after an increased number of reported shark sightings over the last few days.
There have been a total of nine public sighting reports of large sharks from Thursday 30 June to Tuesday 5 July in the 2.5km stretch between Mettams Pool, and Watermans Bay.
It is possible that the frequency and duration of the recent reported sightings may increase the likelihood of encountering a shark in this area.
The initial warning issued on Sunday night was following seven public sighting reports of large sharks from Thursday 30 June to Sunday 3 July in the 2.5km stretch between Mettams Pool, and Watermans Bay.
Reconsider swimming, surfing or diving, in the area between Hillarys Boat Harbour and Trigg Point.
In the Perth metropolitan area, don't swim, surf or dive around large schools of fish.
If you see a shark, report it to Water Police on 9442 8600. All shark sighting information reported to Water Police is provided to response agencies so beaches can be closed if needed, and is available to the public on the SharkSmart website and Surf Life Saving WA Twitter feed.
Obey any beach closures in place.
During winter many beaches are not patrolled fulltime, so water users need to take responsibility for their actions by staying up to date - Keep informed of the latest detection and sighting information by checking the SharkSmart website or Surf Life Saving WA's Twitter feed.
Beaches around Mindarie – where a fatal shark incident occurred one kilometre offshore last Sunday – are open again.
The beaches that have been reopened by the City of Wanneroo are located either side of Mindarie Boat ramp - from Claytons Beach and Surf Spot south of the ramp and Quinns Beach to the north.
Although the beaches are now open again, given the severity of Sunday's incident, the department advises water users to take additional caution in the Mindarie area.
Obey beach closures advised by Local Government Rangers or Surf Life Saving WA.
Take extra caution in the area by not surfing or diving when large schools of fish are present.
If you see a shark, report it to Water Police on 9442 8600. All shark sighting information reported to Water Police is provided to response agencies so beaches can be closed if needed, and to the public on the SharkSmart website and Surf Life Saving WA Twitter feed.
Beaches around Mindarie – where a fatal shark incident occurred one kilometre offshore last Sunday – will be reopened tomorrow by the City of Wanneroo.
Beaches to be reopened are located either side of Mindarie Boat ramp - from Claytons Beach and Surf Spot south of the ramp and Quinns Beach to the north.
Although beaches will be re-opened, given the severity of Sunday's incident, the department advises water users to take additional caution in the Mindarie area.
Department of Fisheries officers will continue to patrol waters around Mindarie on Thursday following a fatal shark bite incident, which occurred one kilometre offshore on Sunday.
Beaches in the area remain closed until further notice and swimmers, surfers and divers are advised to stay out of the water.
The Department of Fisheries will continue to monitor and patrol throughout the day, and will reassess the situation if needed.
Although no capture gear will be deployed, if sightings of a large shark in the area are reported, the department will make a further assessment at that time. The vessel will carry capture gear on board so it is able to respond if needed.
The City of Wanneroo has closed beaches either side of Mindarie Boat ramp, south from Claytons Beach and Surf Spot and north to Quinns Beach. Beaches will remain closed for the remainder of today and tomorrow.
Stay out of the water in the Mindarie area until further advice is issued.
Fisheries and Marine Officers will reset shark capture gear this morning near the site of a fatal shark incident that occurred one kilometre offshore from Mindarie marina late Sunday morning.
Given the unprecedented circumstances of two fatal shark bite incidents off Perth Metropolitan Coastal Waters in the last week, the Department of Fisheries has taken a cautious approach to the safety of water users in this instance.
While weather conditions meant it was unsafe to set capture gear, and continue the fishing operation on Tuesday, the department has reassessed the situation with the changed conditions on the water and will re-deploy gear from late this morning.
An order has been issued by the Director General of the Department of Fisheries to deploy capture gear in the vicinity of Sunday's fatal shark bite incident, to fish for the shark.
Given the nature of the injuries and the location of the incident, it is likely that a large white shark, greater than 3m in size is responsible.
Beaches were closed by the City of Wanneroo after the incident, and beaches remain closed.

Skriftlig huvudräkning är en matematisk metod avsedd att förenkla numeriska uttryck framtagen av läraren Birgitta Rockström.

Metoden har nått stor spridning inom svenska skolor sedan 1990-talet.

Metoden
Metoden är ett sätt att förenkla numeriska uttryck genom att utnyttja räknelagarna och sambanden mellan räknesätten. Mellanled som visar tankegången kan vid behov skrivas ner.

Mellanleden ser olika ut beroende på vilket räknesätt som används och även talets utseende. Grundprincipen är varje sort för sig där man börjar med den största sorten.

Addition:   46 + 37 + 58 = 120 + 21 = 141
Andra strategier som är användbara vid addition: flytta över och ändra ordningen":
695 + 268 = 700 + 263 = 963
3,75 + 4,6 + 9,25 = 13 + 4,6 = 17,6

Subtraktion: 83 – 51 = 30 + 2 = 32
83 – 57 = 30 - 4 = 26
Andra strategier som är användbara vid subtraktion: öka båda termerna med samma tal och utfyllnad.
431 - 297 = 434 - 300 =  134
51 - 49 = 1 + 1 = 2

Multiplikation:  3 · 174 = 300 + 210 + 12 = 522
               3 · 299 = 900 - 3 = 897

   Annan strategi som är användbar vid multiplikation: dela upp ett tal i faktorer''.
             4,5 · 24 = 9 · 12 = 108  (4,5 · 2 · 12)

Division: Förkortning och förlängning
         126/18 = 63/9 = 7
         12/1,5 = 24/3 = 8
         2/0,04 = 200/4 = 50

Biophysics at the coffee shop: Lessons learned working with George Oster
Oleg A. Igoshin, Jing Chen, Jianhua Xing, Jian Liu, Timothy C. Elston, Michael Grabe, Kenneth S. Kim, Jasmine A. Nirody, Padmini Rangamani, Sean X. Sun, Hongyun Wang, Charles Wolgemuth
Over the past 50 years, the use of mathematical models, derived from physical reasoning, to describe molecular and cellular systems has evolved from an art of the few to a cornerstone of biological inquiry. George Oster stood out as a pioneer of this paradigm shift from descriptive to quantitative biology not only through his numerous research accomplishments, but also through the many students and postdocs he mentored over his long career. Those of us fortunate enough to have worked with George agree that his sharp intellect, physical intuition, and passion for scientific inquiry not only inspired us as scientists but also greatly influenced the way we conduct research. We would like to share a few important lessons we learned from George in honor of his memory and with the hope that they may inspire future generations of scientists.

Any idea what to do now?I want to run the above code.Tried python 3.7 and 3.8 and pysprk versions too ending with these 2 errors
INstalled pyspark with this link :
Installation Link for pyspark

A: *

*You should use spark-sql-kafka-0-10

*You need to move findspark.init() after os.environ line. Also, you don't actually need this line, as you can provide the packages via findspark.
SPARK_VERSION = '3.1.2'
SCALA_VERSION = '2.12'

import findspark
findspark.add_packages(['org.apache.spark:spark-sql-kafka-0-10_' + SCALA_VERSION + ':' + SPARK_VERSION ])

findspark.init()

from pyspark import SparkContext, SparkConf

Also, if just getting started with Spark, use the latest version
https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/structured-streaming-kafka-integration.html
Regarding the log4j error, you need to create a log4j.properties file in $SPARK_HOME/conf

Share Exhibition: Laure Prouvost in New York
For her inaugural New York exhibition, Laure Prouvost presents an immersive installation. The gallery space will be transformed into a subterranean travel agency, (DEEP TRAVEL Ink, 2016) with ambiguous function, purported to belong to the artist's uncle.
First shown at MMK Frankfurt in 2016 and reconfigured for the exhibition, this hypnagogic environment, replete with watercoolers, plants, posters, people working at desks, as well as a waiting area and corporate infomercial, conflates time and space, compounding the quasi-authenticity of the scene and pseudo-legitimacy of the proposition.
The sound of a tranquil voice emanates from the DEEP TRAVEL Ink's company infomercial, positioned behind the reception area. "Imagine yourself there floating in the water…WE WILL TAKE YOU JUST A BIT DEAPER…WE WILL TAKE YOU JUST A BIT FURVER…get the mud off your shoes." This video is latticed with images of scorching beaches framed by palm trees, clouds bursting, stunning sunsets, squids skating on water and aspirational images of holiday homes. Combined, they coax the viewer into a wilful contemplation of escape. They are cognitively transportative whilst also offering a rational means by which to explore the installation. Travelling deeper and further into its belly, where more works can be uncovered, a concrete or psychic destination remains tantalisingly uncertain.
This discovery bears witness to familiar tropes of Laure's practice. Two film installations, alongside paintings and sculptural elements, combine under the heavy, influencing force of the travel agency. The anthropomorphic potential of objects is subjected to this specific context. In this exhibition, the objects and images that inhabit Laure's films and installations demonstrate an awareness of their own purpose and function with humorous consequence. They can embody the role of a lead protagonist or simply jostle for attention among other voices and forms, further interrupting and complicating the delivery of narrative. Disavowed of a body, breasts reclaim their agency by clearly stating their intentions. Disembodied, yet with a voice, a function and a personality, they cause havoc in the real world, running amok among the serious business of making the necessary arrangements for travel.

So you want to know the secret to getting an "A" in Organic chemistry? Let me tell you the fail-proof method of conquering what many deem the most difficult class in undergraduate studies.
Not the answer you were expecting? I mean there's got to be an easier way, right? Well sorry to disappoint you, but the only way you will see that "A" on your transcript next to Organic chemistry is by good old fashion studying. Of course just telling students to study is easier said than done. Organic chemistry is not something that most of us can inherently pick up and understand. Let me elaborate a little on this simple word, studying.
Here at StudyOrgo.com we teach a proven method that has our students scoring in the top of their class, however they still take the time to learn and comprehend the material a by studying. We give them the secret sauce though, making it easier and their study time more efficient.
Organic chemistry is a lot of information. Probably more information than most students have been required to know for any class up to this point. It is not enough to just try to memorize all the reactions, names, and concepts. Many students who have tried this method end up not doing as well as they'd like. You cannot memorize Organic chemistry, you must understand the information, which you can accomplish with rigorous studying.
As a student, you must have a strong understanding of some very fundamental chemical phenomena. We make this easy using our Summary Guides that we call "Benny's Notes".
Just to name a few of the most repeating concepts in Organic chemistry, you must understand what acids and bases do (which protonates and which depronates?), which elements are electronegative, what are partial charges and dipoles, and one of the most important concepts, how an atoms electrons interact with a chemical system.
If you understand and have these ideas down, you will have no problems doing your first reaction mechanism. Much of your studying will consist of doing a handful of reactions over and over again until you completely understand them. Our online organic chemistry flashcard system will have you understanding the reactions backwards and forwards in no time. We have an iPhone app too that makes studying on the go even easier.
At that point, it will not be memorization though, it will be complete understanding. You will become familiar with why certain atoms behave the way they do, and often times atoms behave the same way in many reactions, so there is overlapping information.
This is the secret to studying Organic chemistry, you must understand the reactions, do not try to memorize them! You are now an enlightened individual and have the key to success in Organic chemistry. Now let's talk a little bit about how you should study and what tools you can use to help. After every lecture, it is pertinent that you review your notes before the next lecture. The information will become much easier to digest in smaller bits than waiting until 4 lectures have passed to review the information. Your notes will highlight the main ideas that you as a student are responsible to know. Go over them, practice them, do not stop until you understand the information.
If something does not make sense, find something to use as a reference. Here at StudyOrgo.com, we highlight and cover the main reactions that first semester Organic chemistry students MUST know for their exams. StudyOrgo.com will be your best friend when studying. Not sure how to how to form an alcohol or what product is formed if you oxidize an alcohol? StudyOrgo.com has you covered. Under the "What's Covered" tab, you will find a list of all of the topics and reactions that our program covers. We can help you learn the material from scratch or just simply use us as a source of practice problems for everything your professor is likely to cover in class, giving you an upper hand.
So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, that is the secret to scoring an "A" in Organic chemistry. So what are you waiting for, shouldn't you be studying?

AVAHS – Snowden's Christmas Review
December 1, 2022 December 1, 2022 fiddletwix Western Animation Review animation, Christmas, holiday, review, special, stop motion, target, Walmart needs to step up their Christmas special game. Come on Wally the Walmart Christmas Walrus!
Plot: A little boy's toys fly out of the moving van while moving all the way to New York. Lead by Snowden the stuffed snowman, the toys all try make the long journey back to him.
Breakdown: So, uh, Target…..Did you try to pull a Rudolph? Unrelated, but did you also recently watch Toy Story? Because I feel like you did.
I'm just kidding. Anyway, it's the 2022 A Very Animated Holiday Special!
Starting out our reviews this holiday season is Snowden's Christmas. Snowden is a Christmas plushie that was made in 1997 exclusively for Target stores. It was available until 1999, so it didn't really have a long life. However, it did somehow manage to have five Christmas specials based off of it. You heard me. Five Christmas specials in two years. They must have had a lot of blind faith that Snowden would take off.
Spoiler alert: It didn't.
I was never aware of Snowden as a child. We don't have Target nearby. I think the closest one is about 40 minutes from my house, and I think that was built when I was a little older.
We have K-Mart and Walmart. And I don't think K-Mart or Walmart ever had their own Christmas plush or holiday specials.
While I haven't seen the other four specials, only two of which being animated, I went into this one because the Christmas Special Fandom page has a randomizer and that's how I pick my AVAHS entries…..It's times like this where I'm pretty glad that is the method with which I choose what I watch for these review series, because this was a pretty entertaining special. It was kinda funny and kinda heartwarming. Definitely worth my time.
It's nothing groundbreaking or anything, but it's a lot more than I'd expect from a Target promotional toy-based holiday special. It has some pretty nice stop-motion animation courtesy of Cuppa Coffee Studios, and even the voice acting is pretty alright. They hired some big names for the time like Peter MacNicol voices Snowden, Michael McKean voices Drummer, Kathy Najimy voices Tiny and Ed Asner voices Big Daddy. Only one character is voiced by a professional voice actor, and that belongs to Footloose the rabbit voiced by Rosalynn Taylor, who is probably most well-known for playing Queen Rapsheeba in Chalkzone or Mackenzie in Rocket Power, but she had numerous other cartoon roles.
The characters, while being fairly one-note, were all likable. They had their annoying spots, especially Drummer, who was basically just a jerk, and Tiny who was pretty much just constantly panicking about everything.
Snowden's a confusing character. He's like the leader, everyone listens to him, but he's also frequently mocked and belittled by Drummer and sometimes Tiny. Snowden is very sweet, and I love his dedication to Adam, I'm just a bit confused as to what his role was meant to be. Is he leader because he's seemingly Adam's favorite toy so it doesn't matter that he's timid and looked down upon?
I did mention that they seemed to be taking some inspiration from Toy Story in regards to the…..uhm…story, and you can definitely get that vibe numerous times, but it's not copying them or anything, especially considering there's no "Buzz" stand-in. It's just a story of some toys trying to get back to their owner. Adam loves his toys so much that he doesn't even want new toys for Christmas, he just wants his old ones back.
If there's one scene I really want to bring up, it's when the toys get put in the hands of some kids. They believe that they're toys included in a kids' meal from a burger joint. The kids just throw them around and get them sticky etc., which is understandable. I kinda like this whole scene because this is one of the most realistic families I've seen in animation in a while. Kids just being nightmares, the littlest kid just chillin' and the parents losing their patience the longer it goes on.
What took me off guard was when the mom just threw all of the toys away when they stopped at a restroom. What a horrible thing to do. She got pissed because Drummer accidentally started drumming. Doesn't he have batteries you can remove? The other toys don't make noise. It just seemed so awful of that mother to trash her kids' new toys just because they were being kinda rowdy. She justified it by saying that they'd get new toys on Christmas, but it's still a mean thing to do.
Anyway, I recommend watching this one at least once. It's a sweet and kinda funny little seldom-known special. And, hey, if you're a Target fan, this was literally made for you.
