Sarah Cicolini: an Abruzzese in Rome – Italian Cuisine
Rome, San Giovanni: the culinary tradition of Abruzzo mixes with that of the capital in the Santo Palato restaurant by Sarah Cicolini
Who would have thought? There priestess of the fifth quarter in the San Giovanni neighborhood in Rome has long been a vegetarian. But yet, Sarah Cicolini, 30 years old, Abruzzese toaster of Guardiagrele, a town rich in history on the slopes of Majella, a mother from D'Annunzio, has meat in her DNA. Perhaps because it has grown in the countryside, with rhythms marked by archaic rituals and rituals such as the art of killing pigs (the thought goes to Ermanno Olmi's film, The hoof tree, winner of a Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival), an area where it is natural to see hams, salami, lonze hanging in the shops. Today, gastronomic souvenirs of tourists who choose "La Guardia" (this is how the inhabitants call their country) as a destination for starry food. And not only.
«My roots have profoundly marked the passion for food: I spent a lot of time with my maternal grandparents, waking up to the song of the rooster, immersed in the scents of cypresses, lindens, peach trees in bloom. Breakfast was obligatorily based on homemade donuts and beaten eggs, but we also ate a lot of seasonal vegetables, seasoned with our leccino oil ", says Sarah who, having moved to Rome to study medicine, threw down her coat after four years white for wearing the senàl ', the chef's apron. First experiences behind the counters of various places in the capital, then the lucky landing in the kitchen of Roy Caceres (Michelin star of the restaurant Metamorfosi, in Parioli) where he learned the job of brigade and met his current sous chef, Mattia Bazzurri, from Rome and a great leavening expert.
With Mattia and a handful of awake boys, Sarah Cicolini carries on Holy Palate (piazza Tarquinia 4 / a, tel. 06 77207354), an adventure that began in 2017, and was immediately reviewed in the "New York Times" which wove the praises of its Roman-style tripe.
«My dishes start from the search for an ethical consumption of meat. I think it is wrong to eat only the noble cuts. With the help of my trusted supplier, Roberto Liberati (also from Abruzzo, ed), I choose and work the forequarters that represent the beating heart of Roman cuisine, "says the chef, sitting at a table in this colorful trattoria at the avant-garde reminiscent of the Futurist movement on the one hand and the rebirth of Rome in the second post-war period on the other.
"The future? It is in working the whole beasts "", she says with conviction. Remembering, not without tenderness, the recipe of grandma Maria that is most important to her: omelette with chicken giblets. A «scarlet frittata, as you define it. «First I start to stew the heart and the gizzards with water, wine and oil, which we call gricil ', then I add the liver, one egg per person, salt, pepper and fresh parsley . To the delight of a clientele composed of Romans mostly young people and tourists.
As a good "Abruzzese de Roma", Sarah Cicolini could not forget porchetta, a specialty that unites the two regions. With some substantial differences: "That of Lazio must be cut thin and consumed cold. And it is flavored with wild fennel. In Abruzzo we serve it hot, accompanied with deadly potatoes: cut into large segments, with the peel, cooked in the oven with garlic and rosemary .
Having just returned from a work tour that stopped off in the US and Australia, she recounts the recipes with which her overseas diners delighted. «For the four-handed dinner with Bobby Flay during the South Beach Wine & Food Festival in Miami I prepared the vaccinara-style meatballs, the carbonara stuffed with liquid filling and the porchetta with potatoes. In Sidney, hosted by Marta Osteria, I focused on carbonara (with the dips of Pasta Mancini, ed), tripe and husband in my own way: a tribute to Rome, made with white flour, burnt wheat flour, vanilla and stuffed green pepper with yellow cream and cream .
At Carnival … the abruzzese cicerchiata – Italian Cuisine
A Carnival cake of the Abruzzo tradition. Easy to do even at home. Here is the recipe of chef Rosanna Di Michele
Just looking at it puts joy. It will be for the decorations of the multicolored chocolate tails that look like confetti. But the cicerchiata, Carnival cake par excellence of the Abruzzo region, is a joy also for the palate.
The chef Rosanna Di Michele
The name derives from the cicerchie, legumes that have their origins in the Middle Ages and recall in the form the fried dough cubes of which the cicerchiata is made. The main ingredient is honey, according to the chef Rosanna Di Michele, Vastese with the suitcase always ready for the States where for some years promotes the typical recipes of his land. "It is a particularly common sweet in the province of Chieti, in the area of Sangro-Aventino that produces and exports honey of the highest quality (famous that of Tornareccio, natural, untreated and rich in vitamins and enzymes ndr)", explains Rosanna, contagious smile which has won many celebrities including Valeria Golino and Pino Daniele during her show cooking in the Big Apple.
«I remember that when I was a little girl, I would make the cicerchiata with my mother an exciting game: cut the dough and shape the balls that had to be all the same, says the chef who prepared this recipe for the Italian Carnival celebrations in New York last year. "It must be underlined that, at first sight, the cicerchiata looks very similar to the Neapolitan struffoli. But it's not like that: the struffoli are bigger and eaten at Christmas and not at Carnevale, "concludes Rosanna, who is currently working on the launch of an Italian restaurant in Harlem, 23 Winehouse.
The chef Rosanna Di Michele with her cicerchiata.
Here, then, his family recipe of the cicerchiata
Cicerchiata ingredients (for 6 people)
500 g of flour, 5 eggs, 7 tablespoons of sugar, 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 450 g of honey, tails of colored chocolate and flakes of almonds to decorate, extra virgin olive oil for frying.
Place the flour on a work surface and pour the eggs, sugar (5 tablespoons) and extra virgin olive oil. Start working the dough until it becomes homogeneous. Leave to rest for 30 minutes and then form the thin pastry strings about 1 cm from which to make the cubes. Bring the extra-virgin olive oil to temperature, fry the diced dough, drain and place on the absorbent paper. Take a large pot, pour the sugar (2 tablespoons) and honey. When the mixture becomes fluid, toss the diced and almond flakes and, using a wooden spoon, make small piles of pasta (the hands must be wet) on a flat surface and choose the shape you like best (single-portion or donut ). Finally decorate the cicerchiata with colorful sprinkles.

Is it time to buy a VPN connection? | America loves Sporks!
Is it time to buy a VPN connection?
Someone wrote to me today who is outside of North America and realized (correctly) that Streamingradioguide.com can't be used from Asia and Europe.
I suggested he look into getting a VPN connection that is very secure and allows you to "look" like you're in the United States when you're actually anywhere in the world.

2 Responses to Is it time to buy a VPN connection?
Starting last year, China began blocking VPN connections… I'd expect other countries to follow.
They work well with steams because there isn't a lot of handshaking. Same with downloads, and news. I'd hate to use them as a means to control a remote desktop but that is not an application your reader would use.
I use VPN constantly. You are correct in that operations such as transferring a 40 MB file takes minutes instead of seconds, but my connection averages 10-12 MB/sec, so as long as I minimize the big file moves, it isn't too bad. I don't spend time overseas, those who do use global-facing servers, so I can't speak to accessibility or speed from a foreign nation.

I love taking photos (I can't wait to get a fancy new camera!) and love having family photos taken. The kids are little for such a short time and so I love to capture them in photo from as much as I can. When Gabriel was 3 weeks old we got some amazing family photos done. Mum organized another family photo shoot and so I wanted to share how big my boys have got and some wonderful photos of our beautiful family. Isn't this a lovely family photo? I love it. I've ordered it to be printed so I can have it next to my bed and also in my wallet.
Here are my beautiful angels!! Wow getting so big. These two are going to be the best of friends Gabriel smiles so much when he sees his big brother. John is great with Gabriel, always giving him toys and things that he can't reach. He is very protective of his little brother.
Another favourite we got this same pose done last time we got photos done. I love how Gabriel is peeking out in between Mr Ecochick and myself. Wow John is such a big dude now!!! This photo will be printed and put on the lounge wall next to the other one of the same pose. Photos are so special and important I don't ever think you can take enough.
Do you take photos of your kids and family too? I think every family should do a family photo shoot every few years. Thank you so much Albee photography for these amazing special memories that I'll treasure for ever.


Alone the other night—Michael having gone out of town again—I sat down for a rare viewing of the PBS News Hour with my rewarmed pesto pasta and a glass of red wine. Calvin was in the room next door, cooing and shrieking and no doubt biting the netted canopy above his bed and/or its vinyl padding. I'd just put him to bed after suffering through some of the loudest screams I've ever heard him make. Regrettably, I managed to make one or two (or three) myself.
In the dark room on the television screen a young man with wavy hair and dimpled cheeks reported on the weather. A student meteorologist, his delivery was confident, though unpolished, which was part of his charm. I found myself rooting for the lanky weather man as he gestured and remarked on the expected temperatures and the possibility of rain. He ended with a big smile that took a chunk out of my heart realizing how I'll never be the proud parent of a boy like that.
I ate my noodles and sipped my wine in relative silence as Calvin drifted off to sleep. Several of my favorite talking heads appeared and began imparting intelligent details about the latest headlines. The journalists covered stories about the economy, the presidential race, singularity, and the future of technology. They ended with a sickening story about an unarmed man arrested, beaten and tasered to death—murdered—for attempting to reenter this country illegally to join his family in San Diego.
The man, who was handcuffed and hogtied, was kicked and clubbed and tasered five times, once as long as twelve seconds as his body convulsed, his brain in seizure. The video and eye witness accounts proved he was in no position to resist the border patrol officers who, in my mind, were no more than cowardly, bullying criminals themselves. He died from a taser-induced heart attack leaving behind his wife and several small children. And although he was doing something illegal, I don't call that justice. I call it hateful.
I thought about the immigrant and his family, about how he cried for help, about the dozen or so officers that swarmed around him like a pack of wolves hungry for flesh. Then I meditated on Calvin, all tucked in and warm sleeping in the room next door under the sedating wash of his antiepileptic drugs. I thought about how lucky he is to be alive, to have a father, to be fortunate enough to have been born into a family of relative privilege. I thought about the hell that I felt I'd been living an hour or so prior during Calvin's screaming ... how that was really no hell at all ... how I should be thanking my lucky stars and hoping for better lives for those around me, for those who are simply trying to eke out a better life for themselves and for their kids.
And I went to bed alone that night just like that poor man's widow, and yet not like her at all.


Forming the outer arc of the Federal main attack, R.W. Johnson's 6th Cavalry Division, Wilson's Corps, here hit Rucker's Confederate Cavalry Brigade, west of Richland Creek. Withdrawing southward to Harding Road, Rucker held his ground there until bypassing Federal infantry forced further withdrawal to Hillsboro Pike late in the afternoon.

"We could expect that individuals with autism . . . would be less susceptible to reasoning biases."
(The development of reasoning heuristics in autism and in typical development. Morsanyi, 2010)
Given the debate around human rationality in decision-making over the last 40+ years, you'd think that psychologists and Behavioural Economists would have been scrambling over each other to dig deeper into a statement like the one above. The phrase "less susceptible to reasoning biases" goes against much of what we've learnt about the inherent irrationality of human behaviour since Kahneman and Tversky started getting people to gamble on coin tosses in the 70's.
In reality, as the above paper points out, research into autistic reasoning in this context is sparse. However, there have been some studies, and autistic subjects have been tested on their response to cognitive biases such as the framing effect (choice will be effected by how information is presented), the conjunction fallacy (we think that more detail makes an event more probable whereas the reverse is true), the base rate fallacy (we favour specific information over general information), and the sunk cost fallacy (we're influenced by how much we've already invested even when that has no impact on outcomes).
Elsewhere on this site I look at the results of some of this research in more detail, but in general, what we see are outcomes such as:
"ASD subjects show a reduced susceptibility to the framing effect."
(De Martino et al., 2008)
"The findings presented here suggest that the conjunction fallacy is less likely to occur with autistic participants."
(Morsanyi et al., 2009)
In other words, studies confirm the prediction of the paper quoted above: people on the autistic spectrum are less susceptible to reasoning biases.
Of course, the above cognitive fallacies concern our behaviour as individuals. But as social animals, we spend most of our time in groups, and just as individuals can be irrational, so can groups. Group fallacies include: groupthink (the tendency for the group to suppress dissenting views) group shift (the tendency for individuals in a group to take more extreme positions than they would as individuals), and in-group and out-group biases ("us and them" behaviours). Not to mention various follow-the-leader, herding biases such as the bandwagon effect. As in the case of individual cognitive fallacies, these group behaviours can be useful, and certainly were in our evolutionary past. But equally, they can catch us out, leading to human catastrophes, business failure and political and military fiascos.
As far as I can see, specific studies on how autistics behave in terms of these group biases are non-existent. On the other hand, we do know quite a lot about how autistics behave in social situations generally, which I've explored further in Group Biases and Autism.
To resume what we see there: when it comes to groups, autistics have a Get Out Of Jail Free card. Not being able to find your place in the group can be hell at your cousin's wedding, but it's a real advantage when the group starts behaving like lemmings and heading for the nearest cliff. (My apologies to lemming-lovers, I know they get a bad rap, and have done ever since the perpetration of the lemming suicide myth by Waltz Disney back in the fifties. I had originally included a reference to sheep-like behaviour, but through following herdyshepherd1, I realised the error of my ways. It turns out that sheep are not actually sheep-like, and are selective and smart about who they follow.)
Whatever your species, including our own, before you participate in group behaviour you need to a) recognise the group and b) recognise that you're a member of the group. Both of these can be tricky if not impossible for people on the spectrum. But if there's no group, by definition, there are no group biases. QED. It's an easy out for perennial outsiders such as autists.
Still, even autists sometimes find themselves in groups and social situations, and on such occasions they have another characteristic that helps get around these potentially irrational group behaviours: people on the spectrum tend not to engage in reputation management. That is, they're not particularly concerned by what others think of them. Groupthink and various kinds of "preserve the status quo" behaviours work through group pressure, but this will only be effective if you're concerned about maintaining your reputation and group status. But, as Bob Dylan said, "If you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose", so in these group situations, autists are not necessarily going to toe the line, and will thus be less likely to get sucked into potentially destructive group behaviours.
Autists have a final trick up their ever-rational sleeves that helps maintain logical consistency:
"People with autism make more logical decisions because they are not as easily influenced by their internal sensations or 'gut-feelings'."
(Shah et al., 2016)
What this illustrates is that firstly, autists are more likely to be calm and less stressed in situations of uncertainty, and secondly, they're better at avoiding the specific cognitive fallacies that are the result of following your heart rather than your head. These include the affect heuristic, visceral bias or any decision-making situation where we're influenced by what we feel - which if truth be known, is most of the time. In other words, when it comes to problem-solving and uncertainty, what we find with people on the spectrum is less emotion, more logic.
To return to our main theme: there are a large number of heuristics and cognitive fallacies (175 and counting according to Wikipedia), and I've touched on some of them on this site. They play a major role in our lives, mostly for better, but sometimes for worse. Business Insider didn't beat around the bush when they headlined an article:
"58 cognitive biases that screw up everything we do."
Whatever the actual number is, we can't yet say for sure how autists are going to behave for each and every one. No doubt there will be some that they will fall for as much as anyone, especially those where contextual or social information play little or no role. But as we've seen above, when it comes to decision-making, autists are less influenced by individual biases, group behaviour and emotions. Taking all that into account, it's safe to say that in general, people on the autistic spectrum are less susceptible to cognitive fallacies. In other words:
Autistics don't do heuristics.

* Explanations:
Heuristics are mental shortcuts that enable us to make close-enough decisions rapidly. If you look at the sky when deciding whether or not to take an umbrella, you've used a heuristic. It's a lot quicker than poring over meteorological data, and most of the time will enable you to avoid getting wet. Most of the time. They're a trade-off of accuracy for efficiency, so we accept the odd inaccuracy in return for being able to get through our days without being bogged down in decisions.

Zotero Quiz
Not all citation styles are created equal. The style of the site you're getting information from may not be the same as what you'll need for your paper or project. The following guide explains what changes you'll need to make and how to make them.
Editing the Title: Zotero can automatically change Sentence Case (only the first word of the title and proper nouns are capitalized) to Title Case (every major word is capitalized) if the citation style calls for it, but not the other way around. (It doesn't automatically know which words are proper nouns and which aren't.) Thus, Zotero suggests saving all titles as Sentence Case. To change the title's capitalization, right click the title of the book and select "Transform Text."
Editing the Short Title: The short title can also be transformed to title/sentence case in the same way.
Editing the Author's Name: Most style guides require that when you cite multiple works by the same author, subsequent entries in the bibliography/works cited contain "-----." instead of the author's name. The only way that Zotero will do this is if the author's name is exactly the same in all records, including punctuation. Zotero helps you out with this: it will autosuggest names you've already used as you're typing.
Editing the Place/Location: Click on the "Place" field to change state abbreviations to their two-letter versions (e.g., "Ill." to "IL") to comply with the Trinity style guide.
Editing Date: Zotero will automatically recognize months, days, and years, but not seasons. Try to get as much date information as you can for article citations; for books, you only need the year of publication.
Editing Publisher: Many library catalogs and booksellers' sites abbreviate the publisher's name in their records. Most citation styles require it to be spelled out completely. Click on the "Publisher" field to correct it, if needed.
Editing URLs: Most citation styles don't require website addresses for any items other than actual websites. If the imported record of your article or thesis/dissertation has an address in the URL field, delete it.
Other Fields: Remember, any Zotero field can be edited.

Find the right camera for your project. In the old days, the choice of equipment was easy. The usual question was: "What camera do you use, Sony™ or Ikegami™?" These days it's more complicated as cameras and recording devices are becoming more specialized and greater choices, with an ever-changing line of cameras from Panasonic, Sony, Canon, and Arri. We select a camera package that's right for your needs, based on your desired resolution, codec, editing systems, and viewing device.
"I believe that today's cameras are only a small part of what makes a good image, the rest is the use of light and composition. A good cameraman is not known by what camera he uses, but how he uses it."
Convergent Design Odyssey 7 Series, Atomos Shogun, Sound Design Pix240, or Aja KiPro Mini recorders are excellent choices to use as external recorders depending on your camra choice and post-productions needs. Older SSD recorders also exist, but the aforementioned recorders are becoming recognized as the industry standard. These recorders are great options whether shooting in RAW, 4K, or HD.
Every production has different needs and depending on your project we can put together a camera package that works within your needs and budget and every shoot includes the minimum necessary to create a beautiful look for your interviews, b-roll or small studio production. I have created camera package setups to help provide your project with what it needs based on what your budget criteria. Those setups are for either a 2 person EFP, 2 person ENG or 1 person crew. For packages and rates, please contact us. Additional gear is available upon request and quoted as needed, including crew, audio, lighting, and grip equipment.

Research project for moderated discussion on Zilia Sánchez's work.
Arising from the first major US survey exhibition of Puerto Rico based artist Zilia Sánchez, currently on view at Artists Space, graduate students from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College present Soy Isla, a talk on and around the artist's work.
This event will bring together a number of artists and writers with varying degrees of insight into Sánchez's work – from former students of the artist, to those engaged with theoretical concerns that parallel both the nature of Sánchez's work, and its current exhibition. The conversation will touch on legacies of mentorship in diasporic communities and ways of critically inhabiting and redirecting dominant artistic histories, including insularity as a mode of resistance, and the limits of translation.
Departing from Sánchez's own transnational migration and cross-generational influence, participants including curators Carla Acevedo-Yates and Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro, artists Lourdes Correa-Carlo, and Carlos Rodríguez, and writer Nadja Millner-Larsen will explore how her work can be understood as a minimalist practice and a hybrid modernism, in dialog with legacies of feminist and queer art.
The talk will pursue a collaborative historicization that embraces chance and resists predetermined narrative, like Sánchez's eponymous performance Soy Isla. Compréndelo y Retírate, documentation of which will be shown at the event.
Carla Acevedo-Yates is a curator and writer based in New York and San Juan, and an MA candidate at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College.
Lourdes Correa-Carlo is an artist based in New York. She holds a BFA in sculpture from the Escuela de Artes Plásticas de San Juan, where she studied under artist Zilia Sánchez, and earned an an MFA in sculpture from Yale University. In 2012 she participated in DAILY, a collaboration between SOMA and Beta-Local for the 3rd Trienal Poli/Gráfica de San Juan: Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. From 2010-12, she was a fellow at the Core Program, Museum of Fine Arts Houston. She is currently an Artist Guide in Training at Judd Foundation.
Nadja Millner-Larsen is a doctoral candidate in the department of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU. She is currently a fellow at the Humanities Initiative of NYU and visiting faculty at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College; she participated in the Critical Studies program at the Whitney Independent Study Program. Her dissertation explores art practices and discourses surrounding downtown New York's anti-art anarchist groups of the 1960s; other research interests include contemporary visual culture, queer theory, affect studies, theories of mediation, anarchist studies and critical historiography.
Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro is an international curator, focusing on art in the Americas. He is Director and Chief Curator of the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros in New York and Caracas. He has been Curator of Latin American Art at the Blanton Museum of Art, The University of Texas at Austin, Director of Visual Arts at The Americas Society in New York, and founding curator of the University of Essex Collection of Latin American Art in England. He was also chief curator of the 6th Mercosur Biennial in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Carlos Rodríguez is an artist based in Brooklyn and Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico. Recent exhibitions include You Will Never Walk Alone Again (2012), Radiator Arts, Long Island City and Framing (2010), Queens Museum. He holds a BFA from the Escuela de Artes Plásticas, San Juan, attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and earned an MFA from Brooklyn College. While studying in San Juan he was a studio assistant for Zilia Sánchez for over three years.

The role of early visual experience in the development of spatial-frequency preference in the primary visual cortex
Nana Nishio, Kenji Hayashi, Ayako Wendy Ishikawa, Yumiko Yoshimura
Key points: The mature functioning of the primary visual cortex depends on postnatal visual experience, while the orientation/direction preference is established just after eye-opening, independently of visual experience. In this study, we find that visual experience is required for the normal development of spatial-frequency (SF) preference in mouse primary visual cortex. We show that age- and experience-dependent shifts in optimal SFs towards higher frequencies occurred similarly in excitatory neurons and parvalbumin-positive interneurons. We also show that some excitatory and parvalbumin-positive neurons preferentially responded to visual stimuli consisting of very high SFs and posterior directions, and that the preference was established at earlier developmental stages than the SF preference in the standard frequency range. These results suggest that early visual experience is required for the development of SF representation and shed light on the experience-dependent developmental mechanisms underlying visual cortical functions. Abstract: Early visual experience is crucial for the maturation of visual cortical functions. It has been demonstrated that the orientation and direction preferences in individual neurons of the primary visual cortex are well established immediately after eye-opening. The postnatal development of spatial frequency (SF) tuning and its dependence on visual experience, however, has not been thoroughly quantified. In this study, macroscopic imaging with flavoprotein autofluorescence revealed that the optimal SFs shift towards higher frequency values during normal development in mouse primary visual cortex. This developmental shift was impaired by binocular deprivation during the sensitive period, postnatal 3 weeks (PW3) to PW6. Furthermore, two-photon Ca2+ imaging revealed that the developmental shift of the optimal SFs, depending on visual experience, concurrently occurs in excitatory neurons and parvalbumin-positive inhibitory interneurons (PV neurons). In addition, some excitatory and PV neurons exhibited a preference for visual stimuli consisting of particularly high SFs and posterior directions at relatively early developmental stages; this preference was not affected by binocular deprivation. Thus, there may be two distinct developmental mechanisms for the establishment of SF preference depending on the frequency values. After PW3, SF tuning for neurons tuned to standard frequency ranges was sharper in excitatory neurons and slightly broader in PV neurons, leading to considerably attenuated SF tuning in PV neurons compared to excitatory neurons by PW5. Our findings suggest that early visual experience is far more important than orientation/direction selectivity for the development of the neural representation of the diverse SFs.

A review and tutorial in one video! I always get so many compliments when I use this tool!
I want to show you how it works and what the end result is like! It does take a long time (1 hour) so I decided to playback to a few of my favorite songs, call me crazy but I was having the best time!
Side note: it takes a long time to make the curls, but you will have curls for days. I did my hair on Monday and I took this picture Wednesday night. I always sleep with a loose bun.
Curling with a bottle and a blowdryer, it looks so simple in the viral video's on Facebook. But is it really that simple? And will the curls actually stay in your hair the entire day? I will test it out so you don't have to!
And believe me, I struggled making this video, I have tried different technics, different bottles, different settings on my blowdryer and different styling products. It was fast but not easy, and an end result I am not living for!
Did I do something wrong, please let me know if I did! Have you already tried it, did it work on your hair?
This video includes a mini braid tutorial as well!
Yes, I have a hair tutorial for you today! It was so much fun to film an updo for you and I hope you like to watch it. I decided to show you a easy and fast updo. This hairstyle is great for a party or for prom, but you can turn this into a day-style worn with jeans and a leather jacket! Don't copy, just use this video as inspiration and make it your own!
Have you tried this hairstyle at home? I would love to see pictures, send a picture on my social media or email me!
I'm a hairstylist from the Netherlands and I have a great passion for long hair. I have made a lot of hair tutorials for my Dutch Youtube channel, all about braids, updo's, and styling. I will post my looks here in this section, and share my salon work with you.
I didn't like to do highlights when i first started as a hairstylist, but seeing the change you can make to not only someones hair but also someones confidence, I actually have grown to love it. Maybe more then anything else.

R.L. Stine's weird mind
By Gavin Godfrey, CNN
(CNN) – He's been dubbed "the Stephen King of children's literature."
After selling more than 350 million children's books worldwide, author R.L. Stine recently released his first novel for adults, "Red Rain."
The novel comes on the heels of the 20th Anniversary of his popular "Goosebumps" series. It's a sort of dedication to his readers who are now grown up and, via social media, begged Stine to write a more mature novel.
As a kid writing joke books in class, Stine recalls a time when he was close to choosing a different path.
[2:10] "People always ask me, 'Did you have a special teacher that encouraged you to write? That inspired you?' This is horrible. I always have to say they begged me stop...I really think if they hadn't begged me to stop I might have stopped and that would have been it."
Instead, Stine went on to become one of the best-selling children's writers of all-time.
His success is rooted in his odd sense of humor.
[4:32] "People like violence. People who complain about books and video games [saying], 'The video games are too violent' - I think they're just wrong. I think it gets out a lot of tension from kids and gets out a lot of angry feelings. Kids feel like monsters sometimes, they have to get that out."

Part work of art, part object lesson in physics, a working camera obscura is a rare treat for anyone interested in learning more about the history of either profession. Based on the principle that light passing through a tiny opening in a dark room will be inverted on the opposing wall, the camera obscura is as mysterious as it is simple. UNC is fortunate to have a working example of a camera obscura right here on campus. Located outside of the Hanes Art Center and Ackland Art Museum, the camera obscura is housed in a little red shed with a conical roof. This exhibit is open to the public, and there are instructions for how to obtain access posted outside the door. A key is kept inside one of the buildings, so the camera obscura can only be accessed during regular business hours. UNC's camera obscura was the brainchild of Associate Art Professor Elin o'Hara Slavick, who constructed it with the help of a photography class.

FBI Digging For Possible Human Remains In Babylon
Filed Under:Babylon, FBI, Local TV
BABYLON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — The FBI says its Long Island Gang Task Force is conducting an investigation in Babylon.
Investigators are working to recover what are believed to be human remains, the FBI said Thursday. The reported condition of the remains suggest they have been at the site for an extended period of time,and will require forensic testing to identify.
In October of last year, human remains were found in a wooded area of Roosevelt after Homeland Security officials received a tip from a person of interest in a federal investigation.
Sources told CBS2 the October search was linked to a possible homicide by the MS-13 gang.
There have been six MS-13 murder victims in Nassau County in the last two years and almost 20 victims in neighboring Suffolk County.
President Donald Trump visited Long Island back in July and promised a crackdown on the MS-13 gang.

Q: Repair apparently damaged pdf and reduce file size I have a PDF file (4.6MB) which was made by combining 6 different PDFs (containing both text and bitmap graphics) using pdftk in Ubuntu 12.04. I wish to compress this file to something close to 2MB without affecting its quality.
I have tried pdftk's "compress" option (couldn't compress it to 2 MB), also tried converting it to ps first and than back to pdf, it gives the following warning:

****Warning: considering '0000000000 XXXXX n' as a free entry.

and then hangs. qpdf also failed saying that the file is damaged.
Could someone help me out?

A: What result does Ghostscript give you? Try this command:
gs \
  -o output.pdf \
  -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
  -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen \
   input.pdf
