One would assume that the second Beauty and the Beast trailer will be released in the coming weeks and feature some cast members belting out at least one song from the film, unlike the first official trailer, which was surprisingly void of musical numbers or pretty much any hint at all that the film will be a musical.
Beauty and the Beast is directed by Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) and sees Emma Watson as Belle alongside Dan Stevens as the Beast, while the cast also includes Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, Luke Evans as Gaston, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, Kevin Kline as Maurice, Josh Gad as Le Fou and Audra McDonald as Garderobe. The film is set for release on March 17th, 2017.
This version sounds like the Belle number. Maybe it's a new motiff.

Exit Interview 2018: Luke Weaver
@C70
by Cardinal70 on November 28, 2018
Every year since 2012, we've spent some time after the season looking back at those that wore the Birds on the Bat. Whether it's a bit player that got into just a couple of games or someone that played almost every day, we'll look at their stats, their positives, their negatives, and grade them based on what we would have expected from them. The stat line is from their time in St. Louis, though splits and other numbers may include time with other teams, if applicable. Think of this as like the players packing up their locker and then seeing Mike Shildt before they head off for the winter. Once again, our great header work comes to us from cardinalsgifs, who continues to be a master.
Player: Luke Weaver
Season stats: 7-11, 4.95 ERA, 30 G, 136.1 IP, 150 H, 19 HR, 54 BB, 121 K, 4.45 FIP, 1.496 WHIP, 8.0 K/9, -1.1 bWAR
Hero/Goat: Hero 5, Goat 5
Overall grade: C
Positives: Pitched in more games than in the rest of his career combined and, except for a procedural move around the All-Star Break, spent the entire season with the Cardinals….started the season with a 2.08 ERA after three starts….had back-to-back seven inning outings in May, but his best game may have been in San Francisco in June, when he allowed two runs and struck out seven in eight innings….allowed a .720 OPS away from Busch Stadium….batters hit .253 in the first half against him….had a 3.00 ERA in July….batters had a .689 OPS when he received two or less runs of support….third-place batters had a .718 OPS against him….if batters took the first pitch, they had a .770 OPS, though 15 of his home runs allowed came in that situation….kept batters to a .596 OPS when he was ahead in the count….batters hit .226 leading off an inning….had a 3.72 ERA in two games against the Brewers.
Negatives: Was removed from the starting rotation in August, in part because he went four innings or less in three of his last six starts….put up a 3.81 ERA in those starts, but batters hit .316 against him….gave up four or more runs in 10 of his 25 starts, including one six-run game and one eight-run game….didn't fair well as a reliever, with an 10.29 ERA in five outings….batters had a 1.189 OPS against him in relief….did not pitch the last two weeks….lefties hit .291 against him….went 1-5 with a 5.74 ERA in Busch Stadium….skewed by his relieving, had a 5.67 ERA in the second half….had an 11.57 ERA in seven September innings….sixth place hitters had a 1.013 OPS….if batters swung at the first pitch they hit .324….if they hit the first pitch they posted a .995 OPS….batters put up a 1.012 OPS when they were ahead in the count….allowed an .877 OPS when runners were in scoring position….in eight plate appearances when he faced a batter for the second time as a reliever, .429/.500/1.429 slash line….allowed a .311 average on ground balls….had a 7.50 ERA in four games against the Cubs.
Overview: Luke Weaver will be 26 years old late in the season next year. Let's try to keep that in mind. This was the first full season for Weaver in the bigs and it's not surprising that there were some bumps in the road, though the magnitude of these bumps is definitely concerning. He's got youth and ability on his side, he's just got to figure out how to really use it. Weaver had some good runs this year, but the consistency wasn't there. There was a stretch where he allowed two runs a game, but the innings varied from 2.2 to 6. There was a lot of fluctuation on what Weaver would bring to the game every day and that made it tough to plan bullpen usage and the like. There are still some good stats in there and I'm sure Joe Schwarz can talk about what he needs to do to get back to that prospect level we expected from him.
Outlook: I can't see the Cardinals selling low on Weaver this winter, not even as a throw-in on a bigger package, so he should be on the 25-man roster next season. What role he'll have, that's a different story. The starting rotation will likely be Carlos Martinez, Miles Mikolas, Jack Flaherty, Michael Wacha, and Adam Wainwright, with Alex Reyes ready if necessary. How does Weaver squeeze into that rotation? It's hard to see a way. Kyle Reis has been talking about Weaver being a strong relief type, maybe in the vein of a Joe Kelly without the overwhelming heat. Can he get into that mindset? The shift to the bullpen this season didn't go very well, but that was also at the end of a long season. Maybe if he starts in the bullpen he can be more effective. If he builds up some trade value, the Cards might entertain dealing him at the deadline depending on how things go but that's a long way down the road.

New zoning district considered to control downtown development
by SETH STERN January 17, 2006 February 9, 2021
A committee of village officials and Madison Street business owners continued its work last week on setting the guidelines for the development of Forest Park's downtown area.
The group is currently working out the details of a new zoning designation called the "downtown business district," which will establish parameters for future development on Madison Street. They will be presenting a workshop on the district to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) at the board's February meeting.
The ordinance, if passed, would limit the construction or alteration of buildings in the district to a list of approved uses, including, but not limited to, retail stores, bakeries, financial institutions, fitness centers, and art galleries.
Several other uses are permitted only with the approval of the ZBA and village council, including restaurants, theaters, hotels, or drive-through facilities. All secondhand stores except antique stores are prohibited from the district.
Other restrictions include a provision that all business in the district must be conducted in an enclosed building and a ban on the repair or processing of goods that create undesired odors, noise or heat. Lighting in the district must reflect the light away from nearby residential lots.
Buildings in the district, the ordinance explains, "are placed close to the street to create a vibrant pedestrian environment, to slow traffic down and to provide a storefront character to the street and encourage walking."
The district will, therefore, contain no minimum front-yard or side-yard setback requirement. The minimum rear-yard setback for all structures will be 8 feet for alley access lots.
Buildings are required to have their primary entrances facing the street, and may be no more than four stories or 50 feet tall, whichever is greater.
The ordinance also provides a number of required design elements intended to "contribute to the storefront character and visual relatedness of Downtown buildings."
In addition, it contains several suggested "pedestrian amenities," including extra-wide sidewalk, seating areas, canopies or similar weather protection, and outdoor art which incorporates seating, such as fountains and sculptures.
Residential uses constructed within the district must be part of a mixed-use development, and no streetfront space may be used for residences, though residences can be constructed above or behind street-level storefronts.
Residences in the district are required to have a lot area per family of no less than 1,250 square feet, and each residential building must provide two off-street parking spaces per residential dwelling unit.
Accessory structures in the district, such as workshops, studios, greenhouses and storage sheds, are limited to 120 square feet in size and must accompany a previously existing primary use structure.
The ordinance also places several restrictions upon "automobile oriented" uses, such as auto dealers or repair shops, car washes and drive-thru facilities, in order to prevent such businesses from "detracting from the pedestrian friendly, storefront character of the district."

The School Girls Deserve
Now is the time to invest in the schools that young people of color want, need and deserve! The School Girls Deserve Report is the result of a participatory action research project (PAR) that was done in collaboration with girls, transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth of color in all five boroughs of New York City.
We held listening sessions with over 100 participants ages 9 – 24 from various racial and ethnic backgrounds. The report documents how girls and TGNC youth of color are pushed out of school, uplifts their visions for the schools that they want and deserve and has policy and practice recommendations that school stakeholders can partake in to create schools that are holistic, safe and affirming for girls and TGNC youth of color. Download resources here or Learn More.
The State of Black Girls 2021
In a time of unfathomable crisis, when young people have been living through a worldwide pandemic, uprisings for racial justice, and drastic budget cuts, it is imperative that New York State take up the charge to meet the needs of youth of color, especially Black cisgender & transgender girls. GGE's 2021 State of Black Girls Report raises critical issues including the need for educational equity, ending criminalization and gender-based violence, and the end of sexist and racist labels like "incorrigible."
The State of Black Girls in New York State
Police-Free Schools
As nationwide momentum propels us forward, now is the time to dream our biggest and most extravagant dreams of freedom and liberation along with all our people and our schools. For us at GGE, that meant thinking through practical ways students, educators, and administrators could work to end policing in schools. The below toolkit is a compilation of tips, templates and resources to assist you in creatively reimagining and building strategies to sustain a Police-Free School. It is our hope that this toolkit provides you with context and language to actively participate in the work to address the systemic racism our young people are subject to on a daily basis due to the presence of police in their schools.
Police-Free Schools Toolkit – Volume I
Mapping National Police-Free Schools Momentum
At GGE we are committed to using all the tools at our disposal to alleviate the systemic barriers affecting young people, especially cisgender and transgender girls and non-binary youth of color. A key tool in our strategy is the use of research, data, and policy analysis to help shape legislative solutions. The School Girls Deserve is one of our foundational documents, it shapes the direction of our policy work. Check out some of our more recent work on school pushout, discipline disparities, school policing, dress codes, and more…

26 school children affected by Salmonella outbreak linked to recalled cut fruit
26 Delaware school children affected by Salmonella outbreak linked to recalled cut fruit
New Castle County, Delaware (WPVI) -- The Delaware Division of Public Health announced it has confirmed 26 cases of Salmonella in school-aged children in New Castle County that are associated with a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Javiana infections linked to recalled cut fruit.
The DPH Office of Food Protection worked with distributors in Delaware to ensure that any facilities that may have received the recalled products were made aware of the recall and were instructed to not serve, and to discard, the impacted products.
The shelf life of the potentially contaminated fruit products has expired and any products of concern are no longer in circulation.
Officials: Pre-cut fruit blamed for Pennsylvania salmonella outbreak
It is likely that anyone who would have become ill from consuming any of the contaminated products linked to this outbreak would have already become ill.
There is currently no ongoing risk to the children in these school districts due to the recalled fruit, and no risk to the general public as the recalled items were not sold in grocery stores.
On Dec. 11, 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that it, along with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and public health and regulatory officials in several states, were investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Javiana infections linked to cut fruit recalled by Tailor Cut Produce of North Brunswick, New Jersey.
DPH recently identified 26 individuals infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Javiana in Delaware. The cases involve school-aged children between the ages of 4 to 17 years old. The children are students at schools served by Red Clay Consolidated School District, Colonial School District, and the Community Education Building in downtown Wilmington. DPH was not able to confirm school information for seven of the individuals, except that they reside in New Castle County. Illnesses started on dates ranging from the third week of November to the first week of December.
According to the CDC, as of Dec. 11, 2019, 11 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Javiana were initially reported from two states, including Pennsylvania and Minnesota. No deaths have been reported as part of this outbreak.
Fruit mix with cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, and grapes from Tailor Cut Produce of North Brunswick, New Jersey, are a potential source of this outbreak. The company recalled the fruit mix, called Fruit Luau, as well as cut honeydew, cut cantaloupe, and cut pineapple products on Dec. 7, 2019.
The recalled fruit products were distributed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware between Nov. 15 and Dec. 1, 2019.

Q: How ease annoyances of a busy but unresponisive window? I'm doing a lot of simulations in Matlab in Windows XP. Typically I always have one Matlab open that runs a lenghty simulation while I do my work in another instance.
There are some annoyances. If I accidently click the "working" window name in task bar it will keep being marked yellow forever ( an hour or so ) and if I accidently rightclick on it a context menu will show - but never disappear. Covering other windows - most annoying.
I'm wondering are there tips how to make such a context menu disappear without killing my calculation.
Basically it will look like this forever:

So far I learnt that if I put some wait(0.1) commands in my code it will prevent this, but also horribly slow down my calculations. Therefore I don't consider it an option.

A: I would assume, by default, Matlab runs your simulation on the user interface thread. So while you're simulating, there is no time to handle anything related to the UI.
To work around this, you would have to instruct Matlab to run your simulations on a new thread. I found some bits on SO about this:

*

*how to do thread in matlab?

*Multi-threading in MATLAB
Information found on Google also seems to point in the direction of the Parallel Computing Toolbox.

A: This is basically a byproduct the design of Windows - Applications receive "messages" in response to UI events and it is up to application to do things like repaint its window, resize, etc.
Windows will send the application the appropriate "messages" in response to events such as UI clicks, etc., but the application is allowed to completely ignore them and typically badly designed/ported applications might do that.
An application designed to "feel" interactive will A) interrupt what it is doing at various moments to process such messages, or B) have a separate thread that does the actual work.  I can see where "feeling interactive" is not design priority of some applications, and if the application is in fact a development environment to run your own programs then the responsibility to "feel interactive" falls on you.  I've played with Visual Studio and running programs that accidentally creating endless loops causing the application's CPU usage to shoot up to 100% does similar things with the UI.
I can't think of the name of any of these programs now but there are some programs out there that will let you do the "multiple workspace" thing like a lot of Linux desktops have.  If you can put your instances of MATLAB in separate workspaces using such a program it might help prevent you from accidentally clicking on it.

Kelkoo Travel launches flight website
The second phase of Kelkoo Travel's relaunch has been unveiled with the release of its flight website in the UK, which comes within just four months after the introduction of its hotel pages. The new-look flight site offers an easy-to-use search function enabling visitors to access deals quickly from around 130 airlines. The rapid development timeframe for flights was achieved using the platform for innovation initially created for the hotel beta pages that launched in September 2011.
By incorporating feedback from users of the hotel section of the website, the flight offering now includes enhanced user-friendly functions such as 'merchant grouping'. This means that users are shown just the best offer from each merchant, giving them the option to click to see more deals from individual merchants if they wish. Search filters that have been incorporated include price, duration, take-off times and airlines. The next steps for the flight site will see it released in the French and Norwegian markets, before being introduced on Kelkoo's other European sites.
Whilst the development of the flights site has been ongoing, other progress includes the move of Kelkoo's hotel pages from beta to the actual Kelkoo site in the UK, France and Italy. Hotels beta has been launched in the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark, whilst Spain and Germany will be unveiled within the coming weeks.
Chris Nixon, Managing Director of Kelkoo Travel comments: "We're working to an incredibly tight schedule to complete our travel offering and the launch of our flight pages highlights our ongoing commitment to grow Kelkoo Travel across Europe. The next rebuild developments to Kelkoo Travel will see the 'car hire' and 'holiday' pages of the website go live in the coming months.
"To further boost merchant presence across Europe and ensure we're offering users as much choice as possible, we have a multi-lingual travel team in place that covers our pan-European market."
Kelkoo is currently one of Europe's largest e-commerce websites. As one of the pioneers in shopping comparison, it is one of the most well-recognised brands in the industry, and is looking to build on this through strengthening its travel proposition and ensuring customer needs are placed at the core of its product offering. Kelkoo's travel category offers great value and a large choice of destinations, comparing over 120,000 flight routes to 2,500 worldwide destinations with up to 130 different airlines. Kelkoo Travel also compares more than 195,000 hotels across over 10,000 locations around the world so users can find cheap prices on anything from short breaks, hotels, cheap flights, and car hire, to travel equipment.

Somerset Area School District is upgrading technology across the board.
New equipment will be installed in the district as part of the junior and senior high renovation project. The district also received money from a Classrooms for the Future grant.
This is the second year Somerset has received the grant, which is a three-year program formed by Gov. Edward G. Rendell to provide laptops, Internet access, software and faculty training to core high school classes.
Although the grant is specifically for high school classes district officials have decided to buy additional equipment for the four elementary schools.
That equipment includes projectors and SMART Boards, or interactive whiteboards used for teaching lessons. The district has purchased nine SMART Board projector packages for the elementary schools.
The district will use its high school technology coach, Judy Maxwell, to train faculty members at the primary schools.
In conjunction with the Classrooms for the Future equipment, the schools will also get a security system.
The junior and senior high schools will receive a new system while the elementary schools will receive the high school's current system.
The level of security varies at each school, but the new system will make the district more comparable, she said.
School board members have discussed installing a system at the elementary schools for about a year.
"The general security issue came up when we discussed and reviewed renovation plans. When we were addressing the security issue it made sense to look at all the facilities," school board President William B. Friedline said.
"From time to time, unfortunate situations do pop up and we thought it would be prudent to have security there," he said.
Mathias said the district wants to be proactive with school security.
Once the system is in place, administrators and law enforcement officers will be able to view the camera system from any Internet location. Officials will monitor the entrances at every school in the district, Mathias said.
Some of the costs are being paid by the district's contingency fund.
"During any major project there's an item called contingency for stuff that's going to pop up that you don't think of when you put the whole project together," Friedline said.
Mathias said the district would like to have the equipment and security system installed by the beginning of the next school year, but it could be sooner.

Carman Licciardello's prayers, and those of his fans, have been answered!
The famed Christian musician's biopsy for a recently developed tumor was benign.
"Yes it was scary. Coming to the end of my estimated remission time, getting a tumor, needing surgery, the delays on the surgery day, waiting for the results," Carman posted to Facebook. "Lord, I think I got grey hair on my knuckles. But the results came back CANCER FREE!"
Carman requested "ninja prayer warriors" earlier this week after surgery.
The contemporary Christian music star was diagnosed with myeloma in February 2013. Myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells, is deadly. Doctors gave him three to four years to live. But Carman, who has recorded 15 gold and platinum albums and videos and has sold more than 10 million records, refused to go down without an all-out war.
Doctors pronounced him free of cancer in 2016.
"The doctor discovered, on my shoulder, a tumor the size of a golf ball. Now I need surgery to remove it for a biopsy. It's just the timing lines up with the end of my remission cycle. Maybe this could be my last recording. I just don't know at this point. Anytime I've been in this situation I've come to you all for prayer and things turned around. Well this is one of those times again," Carman said in late March.
"So my faith is being challenged. Faith to finish this record and finish my course. I'm sure the enemy of my soul wants it cut short. So I'm asking for your love and prayers. The past couple years I've been able to lead over 5,000 people to Christ and in my heart I feel like there's a few more I still need to get to. Your prayers are effective and powerful and I'm asking for them today. Please share this with a friend. I believe someday the end of my journey will indeed come. ... but not yet. There's still a bit more work to do," his Facebook post continued.
Praise the Lord the musician is free of cancer once more!


Formerly known as Monster Mash, until an energy drink company decided the average consumer would get as confused as a chameleon in a bag of Skittles when they ordered a Monster Mash and didn't have their heart ticking like a lab rat in less than two minutes, brother's Cal and Nat Reeves have gone from strength to strength producing some consistently high quality beers, as well as a very approachable cider.
When deciding to rename themselves, the guys stayed true to the monster theme and went with Kaiju, which in Japanese literally means "strange creature". Their beers certainly pack a punch for those with lower lupulin thresholds, but what I love about them is that every beer in their range has its own character, and The Behemoth is no different.
So yes , it's hoppy as hell. But it is well balanced against the roasty malt characters and the high ABV means there's a very sublte 'rum'n'raisin thing' going on while still allowing for a truly complete beer experience. Originally brewed for this year's Great Australian Beer SpecTAPular, the Behemoth is a powerful, punchy, full bodied affair with an earthy, grassy hop presence. I tested a few bottles (because I'm thorough like that!) and determined it was best drunk from a Spiegelau IPA glass, (pictured).
I asked one half of Kaiju, Nat Reeves, what he loved so much about The Behemoth. "It is so full on, it's hoppy, it's malty and roasty but all in perfect balance whilst still being a sensory overload in a good way." I agreed with Nat to a point, except I found the sensory overload was bad, in that I just had to drink more!

EDITORIAL: On Christmas, we should all be Virginia
For editorial writers, Christmas editorials always return to Virginia O'Hanlon, the 8-year-old who wrote the New York Sun asking if there was a Santa Claus. Francis Pharcellus Church penned the unsigned editorial first published Sept. 21, 1897. He concluded there was indeed a Santa.
One hundred and twenty years later, there is much to marvel in the letter and response. For starters, Virginia was planning ahead — the most famous of Christmas editorials was published in September not December. Second, Church — a Dickensean name if ever there was one — managed to capture the essence of Santa, of Christmas, of the holiday season without mentioning Jesus or Christianity. It is the perfect secular explanation of Christmas long before some politicians would make the saying of "Merry Christmas!" a sign of patriotism.
There is nothing jingoistic in Church's response: "Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus," Church begins. "He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy."
It is a message worth hearing today. Religion too often divides us and the very saying of "Christmas" can become a landmine of political incorrectness. We are a diverse nation. We were in 1897 although we were not so free about acknowledging that. While America is a nation founded on the freedom of worship, some religions have always been more accepted than others.
That was true in 1897. That is true today.
So if today, a Christian holiday that has also become a federal one, is to have significance to all, "Church," the journalist, not the institution holds the key. He speaks of a shared humanity among all women and men. And perhaps more important, he speaks of a shared childhood.
The "Virginia" editorial is as much a tribute to children as it is to anything else. It is a paean to the wonderment of believing in something just because you believe in it. Be it "fairies," Santa or in the possibility of something wonderful around the corner or down a chimney.
"The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see," Church writes.
Today, cynics would most definitely call that "fake news." But it is not fake. The elusive spirit of Christmas or of the holiday season is found as Church wrote in the hearts of children. The challenge made in the editorial, and perhaps the reason so many people — whether they be editorial writers facing another December 25 or a tired parent or a lonely individual grappling with sadness — refer to it with affection, is that somewhere inside all of us is the innocence of 8-year-old Virginia.
It is OK to believe.
Call it Christmas. Call it Santa. Call it Virginia. Love, generosity and devotion exist. They are timeless. We only have to look within.


In a previous review, I had the opportunity to take a look at a cast iron braiser from Anolon and found it to be great. I was so happy to take at look at their latest pot, the Anolon Vesta 5 Quart Round Casserole.
Available in both a cobalt blue (shown here) and paprika red, the Anolon Vesta Cast Iron 5 Quart Round Casserole is a hefty piece of cooking equipment.
Made of cast iron, the 5 Quart Round Casserole is great at absorbing and maintaining a steady heat. The cooking material of choice for many professional chefs, cast iron gives you the best sear and the most even heat of any material.
The interior is a stain-resistant black enamel coating.
The outside is a beautiful cobalt blue that looks great on the table. Let's put it to work.
Searing meat is where a cast iron pot is king. Here I have some pork medallions getting a nice browning.
The deep sides of the 5 Quart Round Casserole allow you to easily mix up some vegetables for a nice casserole or stew.
The pot works well on all cooktops: electric, gas and induction.
With the included lid, it finds a home in the oven as well. Safe up to 500 degrees, it will work for any casserole you may dream up.
From stove to oven to table, the Anolon Vesta 5 Quart Round Casserole does it all.
My Take: Centuries ago the cast iron pot was the cooking vessel of choice. Dozens of years ago, it still was. Today, nothing has changed, except with the Anolon Vesta 5 Quart Round Casserole, the pot is not only functional but beautiful as well. A well-maintained pot will last a lifetime and can even be passed on to future generations. The cooking is more reliable than other types of pots and gives you the best searing on the market. I whole heartedly recommend it. You can purchase it here.
Oh, I want one! My sorry 7 quart Le creuset has seen better days and is much too heavy for me! Thanks for the review.

Natalia Alexeyevna (August 22, 1673 – June 18, 1716). Favorite sister of Peter the Great, Tsarevna; daughter of Tsar Alexis I Mikhailovich and his second wife Natalia Naryshkina. After Tsatitsa Eudoxia Lopukhina, Peter's first wife, was made to take the veil in 1698, Peter's son the young Tsarevich Alexis stayed with Tsarevna Natalila in the village of Preobrazhenskoye. Peter later also sent Marta Skowrońska (baptized as Catherine with Tsarevich Alexis becoming her godfather) to stay with Natalia. Two sisters of Alexander Menshikov also stayed at the court of the tsarevna. Starting from 1708 Natalia lived in St Petersburg.
The presented portrait is one of the earliest works of national art, painted by the Russian artists in the European manner. The appearance of the heroine – style of a dress, wig, manner to behave – states that the portrait belongs to style of the New Age.
At the same time in the fine language of portraits created by I.N. Nikitin ("master of the personal crafts," a favorite of Peter I) there can still be felt echoes of medieval painting: twists and folds of fabric are painted rigorously, there is the flatness in the interpretation of figure. However, the face of the heroine is painted in a voluminous and expressive manner. The presence of multi-temporal features in the painting and the duality in the artistic decision are natural for the early stage of formation of secular art. Apparently, Nikitin I.N. (1680 – not earlier than 1742?) created the portrait before his departure to Italy, where he was sent by Peter I as a scholar. The similar portraits are located in the Pavlovsk Palace Museum and in the State Tretyakov Gallery.

Writing, acting, furniture design, violin, travel and construction.
These diverse passions seem an unlikely combination, but for journalism graduate Kitty Danger, they form the less than traditional path that has led to a fulfilling career in public relations at The Red Republic.
While many high school graduates feel the pressure to careen head first into a chosen career, Kitty took the time to explore her options before settling on a Bachelor of Journalism, specializing in PR and Arts and Creative Industries.
This process of discovery led to Kitty securing a role well suited to her diverse and colorful personality. Working as an Account Manager on a variety of events, social media and publicity campaigns, means she is able to channel her creative side and in her own words "never get bored".
"Our campaigns can go from fun fashion stories to human interest pieces with people who have inspiring and incredible lives. I get to work across a wide range of campaigns which means it's never boring and often a bit crazy," she says.
Kitty admits she never imagined she would end up working in PR. She has always been drawn to a wide range of interests, meaning her path has taken a few twists and turns on the way to tertiary education.
During high school, Kitty was an English nerd and was prone to indulge her love of writing – a subject she thoroughly enjoyed. Dabbling in drama and ten years of violin meant career consideration in acting and music were also toyed with.
After high school Kitty gained a Certificate II in Construction and spent 18 months rocking a hard hat and steel-caps.
Despite these creative career options, post high school saw Kitty gain a Certificate II in Construction and spend a year rocking a hard hat and steel-caps on industrial building sites: quite a juxtaposition to life as a PR professional.
After the construction gig, she spent a year and a half working as a film and TV extra in Sydney, something she says was a lot of fun and a great learning experience.
So what was the inspiration for her colorful and varied transition from high school to University?
Initially pursuing journalism, Kitty realised that a career in PR would allow her to channel her creative flair.
It's clear that hard work was instrumental in securing the coveted role she now possesses. Receiving a Griffith Award for Academic Excellence, Kitty also interned in Sydney and Brisbane in both PR and journalism, with one PR internship lasting a year.
The hard work certainly paid off however, when the CEO of The Red Republic headhunted her through LinkedIn and asked her to come in for an interview. Now Kitty's profile on the company's website reads, 'Kitty is a doer and a safe pair of hands. Task her with something and she will deliver on time, every time'.
Kitty's success demonstrates that there isn't a 'right' way to finding your career path and sometimes exploring your passions can (eventually) lead to landing your dream job.
You can't be a publicist without killer writing skills. Practice makes perfect!

A Woman's Body Image Improves When Men Prefer Fuller Figures
January 19, 2015 • Contributed by Zawn Villines, GoodTherapy.org Correspondent
Body image issues are common among women and even young girls: among adult women, 91% experience dissatisfaction with their bodies, and 80% of 10-year-old girls expressing fears of becoming "fat." These body image concerns can give rise to serious and even life-threatening issues. Teenage girls with low self-esteem are more likely to drink, and 13% of women report that they smoke to lose weight. Twenty-four million Americans struggle with anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating. According to a new study, though, women's body image issues improve when they believe that men prefer fuller-figured women.
How Men Affect Women's Body Image
Researchers from Southern Methodist University recruited nearly 450 women. Most of the participants were white. Researchers divided the women into groups, showing one group images of very thin women and another group images of women with fuller figures. Researchers then told some of the women that men preferred the thin models and the other women that men were more attracted to fuller-figured women. Finally, the women each completed questionnaires on body image and weight.
Researchers found that women who believed men preferred a fuller figure were more likely to report satisfaction with their own weight, while women who heard that women preferred thin partners experienced increased dissatisfaction with their bodies. Another trial revealed that women did not experience an improvement in body image when researchers told them that women find larger women attractive.
Both men and women are bombarded with advertisements, with most people seeing about 5,000 ads a day, compared to 2,000 just 30 years ago. Many of these advertisements prominently feature very thin and highly sexualized women, potentially convincing female viewers that these models represent the female ideal. Andrea Meltzer, the study's lead author, argues that many women may believe men prefer ultra-thin women.
The study didn't evaluate how long the positive body image effects lasted. Given the influence of advertisements and other negative body image messages, though, Meltzer believes it's likely that positive messages would need to be steadily repeated to have a lasting effect.

Why Do Women Buy Magazines That Make Them Feel Bad?
3 Easy Ways to Improve Self-Image and Boost Self-Esteem
Reclaiming Truth from Distortion: Overcoming Body Hatred
Lindall
Well of course we do! It is hard to feel good about yourself if you are being told that sorry you are the way you are but men actually prefer something that looks totally different.
Wouldn't that make you a little wary of feeling good about yourself?
It is so much easier to feel good about yourself when you hear that there are others who are equally enamored with the real you. I think that many women, myself included, who have a very unrealistic idea of what we should look like and except for the like five women in the world who actually do look that way, all of this starts to feel a little too overwhelming. We beat ourselves up over something that for most of us is never going to be achievable. I think that if we all get real and understand that there is something beautiful in every single one of us, then we could all lead much happier and more fulfilled lives.
helna
what we see and perceive as "normal" tends to affect us. its just like this – in a world of people with three legs, we would be "abnormal" – if what is "normal" is tampered with through constantly being bombarded with the wrong message, then all of us and for all issues and aspects – like women and body image here – things will be distorted. We are setting ourselves for pain and agony by idolizing these "models" and, more often than not, their altered images. Images that are not even real!
When I was around 14 I assumed older women didn't worry about such nonsense. Now at 58, I see I was wrong. The obsession to be not only thin, but young, wrinkle-free with big boobs has gotten worse as I have gotten older. Many of my friends are constantly looking for the next new miracle. Ironically enough, their husbands are getting older, fatter and balder. They take the signs of aging in stride. Sometimes I wish I were a man!
Is it not so sad that women still judge how "good" they are based on what others think about our size?
January 21st, 2015 at 2:35 PM
I wonder how the thin women then feel.
We always only think about those who are overweight, but there are women who are shamed for being too thin.
How will they feel about themselves when they hear that a man is more attracted to someone with a fuller figure?
Will there be people who care that they are being made to feel bad about themselves?
I am so OVER worrying what other people think about my size.
So what if they don't like me for what size I am
There is someone out there for every one right?
I hate it just how much I let what other people think of me, or what I guess I THINK that other people think of me, influence how I feel about myself.


I'm not the biggest fan of the country genre, even though it was something I always grew up with in my household. I do try to give every genre a fair shake when listening to them, but country songs usually have to stand out a bit for me to get into them—and a good way to do that is by mixing them up with other genres. Brian Grilli is an example of this, as he's claimed blues rock and SoCal guitar pop as influences in addition to country. That sense of variety is a major boon for his new album Deep South Symphony, released by the Spectra Music Group even if most of its tracks do fit a sort of comfortable southern rock mold. Grilli's stylistic intentions are demonstrated well on the record's cover, which has the artist displaying a country-esque hat and very hard rock-appropriate tattoos.
Deep South Symphony starts things out with a title track and a buzzy, partying atmosphere. References to southern rock bands of years past combine with summery hooks and twangy guitars. The album, recorded in Nashville with a member of the band The Georgia Satellites, is country through and through, but does incorporate other influences. The following tune "Obsession" is a standout track, with a moody organ and slow-jam bass that feel indebted to genres like classic soul and alternative rock. The tune's melancholy atmosphere and interesting chord progressions in the chorus make it quite a treat. Later on the album is "Unbroken," which starts with a quick, energetic drumbeat that wouldn't be out of place in pop punk. The song in its entirety, while being more accurately described as southern rock, keeps the energy from that beat going and then drops it for an effective instrumental break. That's not to say that Deep South Symphony has much in the way of prog-esque long solos—Grilli generally sticks to the four-minutes-or-less pop-rock formula with catchy hooks and verses, which works out well. "My Hometown," a single Grilli released last year, mines the theme of nostalgia well and has very comfy-sounding acoustic chords. Deep South Symphony does have some songs better than the others, but it's a record sure to be enjoyed by southern rock fans looking for something good for the summer.

Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers(ディスク・ウォーズ:アベンジャーズ) is a Japanese original anime of the Avengers. In this anime, children with some abilities and Marvel heroes cooperate to defeat villains. This anime promotes toys whose concept came from Japanese menko. Menko is a small card with some illustration on it. In menko game, players throw menko on the ground and try to flip opponent's menko(s). If you successfully flipped it (them), you win the game. The toy brand this anime promotes is named Bachi Kon-bat, but in the anime, the toys are called disks.
The disks are devices developed by Tony Stark (a.k.a. Ironman) and his colleague Dr.Akatsuki to trap criminals and villains. These disks were planned to publicize in a prison. However, by the attack of Loki and villains, heroes including Ironman were trapped in it. To release them, they need some people who have Bio-codes. Although there were many installers of Bio-code, most of them were stolen by villains. The last one was accidentally installed to 5 children who were attending the rollout, two of whom are Akatsuki's children. Their Bio-codes are imperfect: they cannot release heroes permanently and have a time limit on it. Moreover, each of them has the type of heroes which they can release. In contrast, five criminals who installed the Bio-codes can release villains permanently (but they are always trapping them). Heroes must defeat villains in such adversed circumstances.
Although it is not a 100% Japanese anime, Disk Wars has some unique points. Other marvel works do not have children as partners. Marvel heroes are sometimes reluctant to involve other people in their battles. On the other hand, Disk Wars describes nexus between children and heroes. Also, Disk Wars has some settings of its own. Although it uses Marvel's original settings, Disk Wars is a good door for beginners of Marvel heroes. Disk Wars is a Japanese anime which has distinguished characteristics.
In this anime, five heroes and five children become partners, and their nexus is depicted. For example, Hikaru Akatsuki, elder one of Akatsuki's children, is the partner of Mighty Thor. Hikaru is conscious of his younger brother Akira. However, sometimes it is too much. Thor is also a elder brother of Loki, and conscious of his younger brother, so they cooperate with each other as elder brothers. And they overcome some difficulties. On the other hand, Captain America has a partner whose character is opposite to him. His partner, Chris Taylor, is a bad boy and not like the serious Cap. They have some influence on each other during their cooperation. Thus, heroes and children have good relationships.
This program is good for beginners of Marvel heroes. As you may now, Japanese people are not familiar with Marvel heroes. Japan has many heroes of its own. Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and Super Sentai(a.k.a Power Rangers). However, they (or we) are not familiar with Marvel heroes because they do not see these heroes in our childhood. Instead, their heroes are Japan's own heroes. Of course, movie theaters show Marvel movies. However, they are like restaurants with good night views, or Shakespeare's plays. We hesitate to see them. And even if we saw them, we do not understand them because we do not have enough background knowledge.
However, Disk Wars provides perspectives on Marvel heroes. For example, this program mention what the X-Men are, or what the relationship between Captain America and Backy is like. This program uses Marvel characters, with Marvel's original settings from certain works of Marvel. It is true that some of them have original settings in Disk Wars. For example, Tony Stark does not work with Dr.Akatsuki in other Marvel works. Moreover, Noriko Ashida, who is usually a mutant and fights as a X-Men, is just a little girl in this program. Like these, there are some Disk Wars' original settings. Even if you already know Marvel heroes, you would enjoy it.

This study developed anthropometric information on U.S. firefighters to guide fire-apparatus seat and seatbelt designs and future standards development. A stratified sample of 863 male and 88 female firefighters across the U.S. participated in the study. The study results suggested 498 mm in width, 404 mm in depth, and 365-476 mm in height for seat pans; 429-522 mm in width and 542 mm in height for seat back; 871 mm in height for head support; a seat space of 733 mm at shoulder and 678 mm at hip; and a knee/leg clearance of 909 mm in fire truck cab. Also, 1520 mm of lap belt web effective length and 2828 mm of lap-and-shoulder belt web effective length were suggested. These data for fire-truck seats and seatbelts provide a foundation for fire apparatus manufacturers and standards committees to improve firefighter seat designs and seatbelt usage compliance.

I was randomly looking through my sitemeter the other day, and came across www.omnibride.com as a referring site. I wasn't sure what it was, so with further investigation, I found out that it is a search engine solely devoted to wedding related things. Have you heard of it? I think you have to register to use the engine, but it's a pretty cool concept - I mean, it linked to one of my blog postings, didn't it?! What will they think of next?
I'm usually too busy working on other projects to do any work for myself. Last week my wonderful cousin sent me some of her photos she took at our wedding, and I fell in love with the unique angle of the shot below. I wasn't too crazy, however, about the color and crazy carpet pattern. I got to work retouching the photo this week, and came up with two new options. Option A is a very graphic, high-contrast design, while Option B is very ghostly and vintage looking. Any thoughts? Which retouching method do you prefer?
In keeping with yesterday's "baseball" theme, I thought I'd do a Real Weddings post on a couple who utilized Wrigley Field as their backdrop. Seriously, I'm pretty jealous of how cool this event turned out...I found the following photos of Kate & Ray's wedding on Angel Eyes Photography blog. The shots are great, especially inside the stadium, and I love all of the details...a Cubs jersey as their guest book, baseball themed cupcakes and "ticket-like" invitations. Reminds me of the Wrigley Save The Dates I design. Love it! Go Cubbies!

I don't care if I never get back, Let me root, root, root for the home team, If they don't win it's a shame...last weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to see the Red Sox play the Yankees at Fenway Park! Luke flew into Boston friday night and we crammed as much of the city into our two days as possible. Fenway was really cool, but I'm still partial to Wrigley Field. I felt a little strange sitting there, rooting for the Red Sox, but they were the underdogs...and they came through with the win! Regardless, my heart still belongs in Chicago...go Cubbies, go!
I just returned from a week in Boston (hence the lack of postings lately). I'd never been to Boston before and I absolutely fell in love with the city. I was in town for work, so I had the opportunity to stay at The Liberty Hotel. If you're planning on going to Boston soon, I'd definitely recommend staying at this hotel or at least stopping by for dinner and a few drinks. Scampo, one of the hotel's restaurants, was voted in the top 20 restaurants in the USA (2008) by Esquire. The food was absolutely amazing - I'm still dreaming about the mozzarella bar and lobster!
The Liberty is unique because it actually used to be an old jail. Originally built in 1851, the structure is quite amazing. The last prisoners were moved out in 1990, and in 2001 construction started on the hotel. For more details on the restoration, go here. The property has played up its unique characteristics with such things as a restaurant called Clink that still has old jail bars and cells!
This past weekend there was a wedding taking place in the hotel. The Liberty's banquet room is a unique mix of old charm and modern decor (photo above). The colors are vibrant and inviting. For more details on the venue check out the hotel's website or this local Boston blog.
On top of being a great hotel (phenomenal food, service and people watching!), the Liberty sits on Charles Street at the beginning of Beacon Hill. Beacon Hill is one of the most quaint, charming neighborhoods I've seen - very European! I instantly fell in love with the cobblestone streets, cafés, antique shops and beautiful homes. I can't wait to go back!
Here's a mood board I put together for Style Me Pretty's Look Book contest a few weeks back. I used Vera Wang's hand-painted, chartreuse organza gown as my starting point. The rest of the look was inspired by my wedding style and colors. Click image to enlarge.
I thought I would stick to my new friday plan...anything and everything about flowers! Today's posting is all about boutonnieres. I'm loving the unique flowers and materials used in the following examples.
Last year, my dear friend (and recent MOH) got married! Yeah! I helped plan her "Surprise" bridal shower and was in charge of the games. Trying to be different, and keeping Megan's interests in mind (SHOES!), I came up with an alternative to "Pin the Tail on the Donkey"..."Pin the Shoes on Megan"!! The game was a huge success and very easy to create. Using a full length photo of Megan, I clipped out the image in Photoshop and turned it to black and white. I had it printed on an over sized poster at Kinko's. I found colorful shoes online and printed, trimmed and adhered tape to the back of each pair. From there, I just needed a blindfold and a couple willing participants...and the fun was ready to begin!
Does anyone else have any unique shower games they've recently played?
My Mom and I groovin' in our gowns! Wasn't her dress beautiful?
"All you Single Ladies" party on the stage!
Check out these "Date Night At Home" dinner and dessert plates from Orange & Blossom. I'm loving them! If you're looking to get your best friend a unique shower gift - look no further. Or maybe even add them to your own wedding registry via a website like MyRegistry.com. As the plate designer states, the handmade pieces are "meant to stir those butterfly feelings from your first dinners together...scoot your chairs a little closer and serve something spicy." Who knows what will happen after dessert?!
I thought I'd start something new...friday postings all about flowers! To start off the series, here's a beautiful bridal bouquet from Martha Stewart Weddings. I love the soft colors and unique mixture of textures.

Sumo / Basho Reports
Hakuho relieved to finish difficult year on winning note
FUKUOKA – After a scandal surrounding the national sport ironically drew more attention to the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament, tournament champion Hakuho said Monday he was pleased to provide some positive headlines.
Speaking to reporters at the traditional morning-after news conference, Hakuho, who won an unprecedented 40th title in the Nov. 12-26 tournament at Fukuoka Kokusai Center, said ending the year on a winning note means a lot to him.
"It makes me more emotional because I clinched the championship on the 14th day," said Hakuho, the only yokozuna who competed through the sixth and final sumo tournament of the calendar year.
"Of course there's the 40th title but that feeling of closing the year strong is bigger," he said.
Despite questions over the fate of fellow yokozuna Harumafuji after an alleged assault of lower-ranking Takanoiwa, Hakuho said he has taken his share of responsibility by touching on the subject and apologizing to the fans in his victory speech on Sunday.
Hakuho, who was present when the assault took place during the regional tour in Tottori, said after lifting the Emperor's Cup that he wants to see both Harumafuji and Takanoiwa back in the dohyo ring.
"As a representative of all rikishi I wanted to deliver the message in my own words. The rest I'd like to leave in the hands of the organization (Japan Sumo Association) and those in charge," he said.
Hakuho, who is scheduled to undergo police questioning, said he will just "tell them exactly what I saw."
In the absence of three yokozuna and one ozeki, Hakuho defeated No. 9 maegashira Endo on Saturday to improve to 13-1 and clinch his championship with one day remaining in the Kyushu meet.
With a win over Goeido on the final day, Hakuho finished at 14-1 for his first victory in two meets and third this year. Hakuho also won July's Nagoya tournament and May's summer tournament.
He withdrew midway into the spring meet in March and missed the entire autumn tournament in September because of pain in his left knee.
The 32-year-old Mongolian also said he was proud to see up-and-coming wrestlers make their mark in the Kyushu tournament as he plans to get out of the way of the next generation after he takes part in the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
"The bigger the wall you're up against, the stronger the wrestler becomes. In some ways, I've managed to be a wall," Hakuho said.
"After the Olympics? (I'm quitting) without hesitation. I'll be glad to see a youngster I can hand over the baton to."

AB InBev Files For Hong Kong IPO Of Asia Business To Raise $5bn
Published on May 10 2019 1:50 PM in Drinks tagged: AB Inbev / IPO / Hong Kong
The world's biggest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev, filed plans on Friday to spin off its Asian business via a Hong Kong initial public offering, in a deal which two sources with knowledge of the matter said could be worth at least $5 billion.
The move comes as the Belgium-based giant is working to reduce a $102.5 billion debt pile accumulated following the late 2016 purchase of rival SABMiller for around $100 billion.
It has already halved its proposed dividend and warned any payouts would grow only slowly as it works on cutting its ratio of net debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) - a key measure of leverage - over time to about 2 from 4.6 at the end of 2018.
The brewer said the IPO of Budweiser Brewing Company APAC Ltd would involve a minority stake and that it would continue to maintain a significant holding in the listed entity.
No details of pricing, timing or deal size were given in the filing. AB InBev said the timing would depend on market conditions, but that its current expectation was to complete the deal over the summer.
The company said too that it could not comment on valuation or deal size. However, sources said the offering was likely to be at least $5 billion. Analysts at Jefferies have said that $40 billion-$50 billion would be a reasonable valuation for the Asia-Pacific business.
AB InBev said on Tuesday that an IPO of its Asia business, which includes a portfolio of 50 beer brands, could help create a brewing champion for the region, where increasingly wealthy consumers are trading up to higher-margin premium beers, such as Budweiser or Corona.
Asia is the largest beer consumption region by volume, accounting for 37% globally, and also one of the fastest-growing markets, the company said in its draft prospectus filed on Friday.
The region produced 18% of AB InBev's sales by volume and 14% of its underlying operating profit last year from sales worth $8.46 billion, according to the prospectus.
Hong Kong Boost
At $5 billion, the IPO would be a welcome boost to Hong Kong, and the largest public offering in the city since China Tower Corp Ltd raised $7.5 billion from its Hong Kong stock float in August last year.
Companies have raised just $4.5 billion through Hong Kong listings so far this year, lagging the $12.1 billion raised on the New York Stock Exchange and the $9.4 billion raised on Nasdaq, Refinitiv data as of Friday showed.
JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are the joint sponsors of the proposed float.
