Art & Design|As Heroes Disappear, the City Needs More
As Heroes Disappear, the City Needs More
By Nicolai Ouroussoff
The death of Charles Gwathmey early this month has provoked a lot of nostalgic reminiscence in the New York architecture world: not just about Mr. Gwathmey himself, but also about the New York Five, a group of influential architects of which he was part.
This nostalgia has much to do with what's been lost in the years since the group's prominence in the 1970s. The early years of that decade was a time when this city was beginning to close itself off to innovative architecture. But it was also a time when New York could still claim to be the country's center of architectural thought, and Mr. Gwathmey and his colleagues had a great deal to do with maintaining that pre-eminence in the public imagination. The New York Five came to represent the idea that architecture could still express and advance our values as a culture. To some, the group embodies the last heroic period in New York architecture.

That the five came together at all seems almost an accident of fate. They had no real manifesto, no common aesthetic. Several young, promising New York architects were invited by Arthur Drexler, the director of the Museum of Modern Art's legendary architecture department, to meet informally in the museum board room one day in the late '60s to talk about their work. More meetings followed, a few attendees dropped out, others joined in. When the book "Five Architects," which inspired the group's name, was published in 1972, its success was a shock to everyone.
What the five architects did share, however, was a desire to reassert the importance of architecture as art form during a crisis in the profession. By the mid-1960s much of the Modernist dream was in ruins, and one of its central tenets — that architecture could act as an agent of positive social change — lay buried beneath decades of failed urban housing projects, soulless government buildings and sterile concrete plazas.
At the same time activists like Jane Jacobs were portraying modern architecture as the product of smug, pointy-headed academics out of touch with the way real people live. Her vision of the ideal city — a historical community of brownstones, front stoops and corner stores — was modeled on the North End in Boston and Greenwich Village. It left little room for new architectural ideas.

Faced with such a hostile climate, some of the New York Five began looking to other creative disciplines for a way out of this malaise. John Hejduk, for example, often cited Fernand Léger and Juan Gris as an inspiration. The carefully assembled forms of Michael Graves's early projects drew inspiration from the still-life paintings of Giorgio Morandi. (Even Richard Meier's refined glass-and-steel aesthetic, which owed its most obvious debt to orthodox Modernism, turned the classical Modernist house into a fetishized art object.)
The group's greatest contribution, in retrospect, was its assertion that architecture had not reached a dead end. The architects saw themselves as artists and thinkers — not activists — and this was particularly true of Peter Eisenman, sometimes to a fault. The distorted grids of his early houses, with their references to Renaissance precedents and Structuralist theory, were not only a way to thumb a nose gleefully at Jacobs-style populism; they also elevated conceptual ideas above material and structure, the life of the mind over the life of the body.
To many in the profession this aesthetic approach represented a way forward. Philip Johnson, who seemed to rule the American architectural scene from his perch as a trustee at the Museum of Modern Art, began to fete the five over lunches at the Four Seasons and black-tie dinners at the Century club. He introduced them to powerful figures in the art establishment.

Yet to those who were paying attention, the party's end was evident almost as soon as it had started. By the mid-1980s the effort to suburbanize the city's core and make it safe for tourists — a process that many associate with Rudolph W. Giuliani and his mayoral quality-of-life campaigns a decade later — was well under way, and the group's members had splintered off in different directions.
Mr. Graves, once a dogmatic Modernist, retreated into an ersatz historicism. Mr. Hejduk, who died in 2000, beat a similar retreat into academia. Although Mr. Meier continues to create works of remarkable refinement, his vision has not significantly changed in decades. Only Mr. Eisenman has kept up a theoretical practice, one in which the work is continually evolving, but he has built little.
The country's creative energy shifted westward, to Los Angeles, whose vibrant mix of urban grit and nature, abundance of relatively cheap land and lack of confining historical traditions allowed architects to experiment with a freedom that had become virtually impossible in New York.

Frank Gehry, Thom Mayne, Eric Owen Moss, Robert Mangurian, Craig Hodgetts — these architects were not only the creative equals of their New York counterparts, they were making architecture that was rooted in popular culture and as rich in ideas as anything that has come out of New York in decades. They have been joined by a younger generation, including Greg Lynn, Michael Maltzan, Neil Denari and the team of Kevin Daly and Chris Genik, that has no real equivalent in New York.
A similar energy could be found in Europe and Japan, where the crisis of Modernism had not been felt as deeply and architects had never stopped experimenting.
Given that reality, it should not be surprising to anyone that the most important works of contemporary architecture to rise in New York over the past decade — Mr. Gehry's IAC headquarters on the West Side Highway, Mr. Mayne's Cooper Union building, the Tokyo firm Sanaa's New Museum of Contemporary Art on the Bowery and Jean Nouvel's tower under construction in Chelsea — were designed not by New Yorkers but by Angelenos, a Japanese woman and a Frenchman.
It is hard to know how the current financial crisis will affect this trend. More than once I've heard it suggested that the downturn will be good for architecture. The argument goes something like this: The economic tailspin will put an end to the boom in gaudy residential towers that are distorting the city's skyline. Cheap rents will attract young, hungry creative types. This will spawn a cultural flowering similar to that of the 1970s, when the Bronx was burning, graffiti artists were the norm and Gordon Matta-Clark was carving up empty warehouses on the Hudson River piers with a power saw.
But cheap rents alone won't do it. On the contrary, the construction slowdown, if it lasts long enough, will likely drive many young talents out of the profession for good. It also looks less and less likely that a government-sponsored, Works Progress Administration-style civic project will revive the profession — another favorite fantasy of the ever-optimistic architecture scene.
Real change will first demand a radical shift in our cultural priorities. Politicians will have to embrace the cosmopolitanism that was once the city's core identity. New York's cultural institutions will need to shake off the complacency that comes with age and respectability. Architects will need to see blind obedience once again as a vice, not a virtue. And New Yorkers will have to remember why they came to the city in the first place: to find a refuge from suburbia, not to replicate it. That's a tall order.

British Governing Councils Criticized for CCTV Expenditures
Police cite instances when CCTVs have been instrumental in solving crimes.
GovtVideo
British governing councils are being criticized for spending 315 million pounds on closed circuit television (CCTV) despite slashing jobs and public services, but police cite instances when CCTVs have been instrumental in solving crimes, according to published reports.
The authorities' commitment to keeping the streets under surveillance seems undiminished by the cuts being made to bring the nation's finances back into check, and a survey of 336 governing councils shows why Britain has been dubbed the "big brother" capital of the world.
Advocates for civil liberties have said the survey's findings are "scandalous" and the money would have been better spent on schools, hospitals and other vital services.
However, Britain's largest police force says that CCTV helps its officers solve six crimes every day by identifying suspects. The hundreds of millions of pounds spent on CCTV is the latest sign that Britain's move to a "Surveillance Society" seems unstoppable, say opponets. Surreptitious and unaccountable surveillance practices aided by weak legal protection have mushroomed faster than anywhere else in the world.
CCTV now logs the movements of Britons walking along high streets up to 300 times per day.
Topping the list is Birmingham City Council, which has put up more than 200 cameras in two largely Muslim areas at a cost of 10.5 million pounds; followed by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council which spent 5.3 million pounds.
Leeds City Council spent 3.8 million pounds, followed by Edinburgh Council which spent 3.6 million pounds and Hounslow Council which spent 3.5 million pounds.
Alex Deane, of the group Big Brother Watch, said 315 million pounds is a shocking figure. The money is being wasted on snooping surveillance that does next to nothing to prevent or solve crime, he said. "We are being watched more than ever before, and we're being ripped off into the bargain," Deane said. "British taxpayers will be scandalized to see their money being thrown away like this in the current economic climate," he added.
Nonetheless, Detective Chief Inspector Mick Neville said Scotland Yard has revolutionized the use of CCTV by treating it like DNA or fingerprints. During 2010, the number of suspects identified by Scotland Yard's identification unit reached 2,512—which is a 25 percent increase—thanks to CCTV, he said: "The key to our success is that images are treated as a forensic discipline," he added. "It is not the technology, it is more about managing it in a way that produces the best results. That is why we have got police forces from around the world coming to see how we do it."
Among those apprehended because of CCTV include:
Saudi prince Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasir Al Saud, 34, who was recorded committing an assault that led to an investigation which uncovered the murder of Bandar Abdulaziz, 32, who was the prince's manservant.
Harpreet Aulakh who was recorded buying the machete used to murder Geeta Aulakh, 28, his estranged wife and mother of two.
Daniel Ransom, Ross Collender, both 21, and Jordan Dixon, 17, who were recorded kicking Ben Gardner, 30, to death in the street over a Halloween hat.
Muktar Said Ibrahim, Hussain Osman, Ramzi Mohammed and Yassin Omarwho were identified two weeks after the July 7, 2005 London bombings based on CCTV analysis.
Leon Elcock and Hamza Lyzai who were recorded killing elderly London resident Ekram Haque, who was murdered in front of his three-year-old granddaughter Marian.
Ruby Thomas, then 17, and Joel Alexander, 18, who were recorded kicking Ian Baynham to death because he was holding hands with another man.

Translate with Across
Microsoft Word is by far the world's most widely used text processing application. Due to the wide distribution as part of the Microsoft Office package, which is used by more than 1.2 billion users around the globe, Word documents also play a major role in the field of translation.
The versatile application is used for creating and designing various types of texts. For example, the application is used in the professional area for composing conventional business correspondence (business letters, invoices, quotations, etc.), internal documents (meeting minutes, etc.), and contracts. Word is also used for creating technical documentation as well as publications such as flyers and brochures.
Word documents can be created in various formats. Currently, the most common format is DOCX. This format was introduced along with Word 2007. Meanwhile, it has largely replaced the older DOC format. (The main difference between the two formats is that DOCX is XML-based and thus corresponds to an open standard, while DOC is a proprietary Microsoft format.) Apart from these two formats, there are also other, less frequently used Word formats, such as DOTX for Word document templates and DOCM for Word macro-enabled documents.
Besides plain text, Word documents often also contain pictures, tables, and charts as well as more specific elements such as text fields, control elements, and field functions.
Prior to the translation, the translator should inspect the document to be translated and especially check it for the following Word-specific issues:
Pictures Containing Text
For such pictures, it must be clarified whether the respective texts need to be translated and whether this is technically possible. If the text in pictures is "hard-coded" because the text has been added with the help of image processing software, it cannot be translated directly. By contrast, if the text has been added in Word (e.g. in SmartArt graphics or with the help of text fields), it can normally be translated without any difficulties.
Referenced Pictures
Pictures are often statically embedded in the Word document. However, they may also be inserted by means of references. In the latter case, the translator must have all referenced pictures in order to ensure correct display of the Word document and hassle-free translation.
Text with Tracked Changes
If the Word document contains text created while change tracking was active, the customer must be asked whether the respective text passages are to contain the change tracking marks in the translation as well. (Tip: If the text is to be translated with tracked changes, the respective option must be activated in the advanced settings of the document settings template for Word in the Across Translator Edition!)
If the Word document contains comments, the customer must be asked whether they need to be translated.
Text Not to be Translated or Passages in Foreign Languages
Prior to the translation, it must be clarified whether the Word document contains any parts that are not to be translated or whether the document contains any passages in other languages. If so, the translator should check whether a special style has been assigned to these passages. If this is the case, the respective style can be hidden or locked in the Across Translator Edition by means of a document settings template for Word (see "Tips and Tricks" below).
If the document contains hidden text, it must be clarified whether the target document is to contain this text and whether it is to be translated. (Tip: If the hidden text is to be translated, the respective option must be activated in the advanced settings of the document settings template for Word in the Across Translator Edition!)
Document templates are special Word files that serve as templates for creating Word documents with the same layout and possibly with the same content. If the Word document is based on a special document template, the translator should also be provided with this template. Otherwise, the Word document could be displayed incorrectly, which would make operations such as the final review of the translated Word document (see below) more difficult. (Tip: To see which document template a Word document is based on, you can e.g. check the properties of the Word document. To do so, go to the properties via >>File >>Info and click "Show All Properties" in the right pane. The utilized document template is displayed under "Template". Word's default template is "Normal.dotm".)
As mentioned above, while setting up the project, you may want to use a specific document settings template in order to translate the Word document as efficiently as possible (see "Tips and Tricks" below).
Translating Word Documents with the Across Translator Edition
Actually, there are only very few Word-specific issues that need to be taken into consideration when translating Word documents. This includes:
Field Functions
In Word, field functions serve the automatic insertion of dynamic content. For example, field functions can be used for page numbers, cross-references, tables of content, and dates. In the Across Translator Edition, such field functions are presented as gray fields in the crossDesk translation editor. Often, these fields merely need to be inserted at the correct position in the translation (e.g. by double-clicking the respective field in the source text). In some cases, it may also be possible or necessary to edit or translate the field contents, e.g. in the case of hyperlinks or index entries.
If text with tracked changes is to appear in the translation as well, it must be inserted in the translation, e.g. with the help of the respective icons in the crossDesk translation editor.
Use of Document Settings Templates
For virtually all document formats, it is advisable to create and use a document settings template in the Across Translator Edition. A special feature of the settings template for Word is that text can be locked or hidden on the basis of the styles that occur in the document. To do so, go to >>Tools >>System Settings... >>Document Settings >>Word 2007-2016 and click Load... to load the styles of the Word document to be translated. Via "Mode", determine how the respective style is to be handled (e.g. select "Hidden").
Text Not to be Translated or Passages in Other Languages
If the Word document to be translated contains text that is not to be translated (e.g. text passages in other languages), the smartest approach is to use the editing state "Keep source" (keyboard shortcut Alt+E) for these paragraphs during translation. Failure to do so could result in "trash" entries in the crossTank translation memory, e.g. due to identical text in the source and target languages.
Final Review of the Translation in Word
After the translation has been completed and the target document has been checked out from the Across Translator Edition, the translated Word document should be opened in Word for a final review and, if necessary, adjustment of the following aspects:
Set the correct target language: Select the entire document (e.g. using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+A) and set the correct language (e.g. via >>Review >>Language >>Set Proofing Language...).
Update any field functions: Some field functions might not be updated automatically. Therefore, fields such as dates, cross-references, and tables of contents may initially be displayed with the previous values/contents or in the source language. To update the field functions, you can e.g. select the entire document (e.g. with Ctrl+A) and subsequently press F9.
Check the document for full and correct display: For example, in tables whose row height is static, part of the text might not be displayed if the translation is longer than the source text. The same applies to text fields, SmartArt graphics, etc.
Attaching the Underlying Document Template to the Document
If the Word document is based on a special document template (see above), it should be attached to the translated Word document. Otherwise, the document could be displayed incorrectly. In Word, attach the document template to the Word document. To do so, go to >>Developer >>Document Template and click Attach... to select the document template. (Tip: If the Developer tab is not displayed, go to the Word options, click Customize Ribbons, and select the Developer check box.)

Prominent Uyghur Musician Arrested Amid Ideological Purge in Xinjiang
Uyghur musician and singer Abdurehim Heyit is shown in a screen grab from a YouTube video.
Screen grab
Popular Uyghur singer and musician Abdurehim Heyit has been arrested without official explanation by authorities in northwestern China's Xinjiang region, sources say.
News of Heyit's arrest earlier this year was delayed in reaching outside contacts due to communications clampdowns imposed in the politically sensitive region as Chinese authorities continue to crack down on expressions of Uyghur cultural and national identity.
Speaking to RFA's Uyghur Service, Uyghur performing artists living overseas expressed shock and sadness at the news, calling Abdurehim an important contributor to Uyghur culture.
"I learned that he had been arrested in March, and his colleagues later confirmed the news," U.S.-based Uyghur poet Tahir Hamut told RFA. "We were very sad, but we couldn't ask about his situation."
"Under current [Chinese] policies, it is impossible to determine whether he is now in prison or in a political re-education camp or whether he has been forcibly disappeared."
"No one dares to ask," he said.
Tahir said friends told him that Abdurehim had been arrested because of his performance of a song called Atilar, or "Forefathers." The song had previously been cleared by government censors, though, he said.
"Whether it is Uyghur intellectuals, artists, writers, or poets: nobody is being spared from the current purge."
'A powerful role'
Also speaking to RFA, London-based Uyghur artist and singer Rahima Mahmut called Abdurehim "one of the best Uyghur singers and musicians," adding she was horrified by the news of his arrest.
"Abdurehim Heyit was a state artist, and all of his songs were approved by the Chinese government," she said. "None of his songs were banned before."
Uyghur artists and writers have traditionally played a powerful role in "awakening the Uyghur people in the past," she said.
"This is what scares the Chinese government."
"But China is pursuing a dead-end policy, which will only intensify tensions and sharpen divisions [in Xinjiang]," she added.
"This is not in China's interest."
Disturbing situation
Rachel Harris, British musician who studies and plays Uyghur music, said she first met Abdurehim Heyit in 1997 and was "in awe" of his musicianship.
"This news came in the context of reports of many people being detained without charge and I was disturbed about the broader situation," she told RFA.
"But with Abdurehim Heyit, as a music specialist, ... I thought that really his is a case that I should speak out about."
"Like most people, I am hoping that this very extreme campaign cannot last forever," said Harris.
Since Xinjiang party chief Chen Quanguo was appointed to his post in August last year, he has initiated several harsh policies targeting Uyghur intellectuals, writers, historians, artists and musicians.
China regularly conducts "strike hard" campaigns in Xinjiang, including police raids on Uyghur households, restrictions on Islamic practices, and curbs on the culture and language of the Uyghur people, including videos and other material.
While China blames some Uyghurs for "terrorist" attacks, experts outside China say Beijing has exaggerated the threat from the Uyghurs and that repressive domestic policies are responsible for an upsurge in violence there that has left hundreds dead since 2009.

Alejendro You are expressing horrible prejudices agains a groupe of man under the pretexte that they are musulman. Abdurrehim Heyit is a big artist. You dont know even he is musulman . He could be atheist. He is in prison not because of his religious identity but because he is a Uyghur.
And in the name of Jesus men committed too norrible crimes. Thinm about crusaders. So please stop crusading in the name of ideology here. We need more tolerance overall the world.
Is Heyit still being imprisoned? Could you please follow up on this story?
from Manila
Muslims are allowed to lie to further the cause of Islam. It is known as taqqiya. I used to see Islam as just another religion but no more after seeing what Muslims are capable of doing in Europe, Iraq, Syria and Marawi, Mindanao. Don't try to convince anybody that Islam is a peaceful religion. We all know that it is not.
MisaoFan
Pretty sure the real problem isn't Islam itself, but rather having to do with the level of extremism on some individuals/organizations. I'm a Muslim myself and I don't support Wahhabist terrorist groups that are spurring up the conflict in the Middle East.
I just don't see why the Chinese are persecuting Uyghurs even if they are pro-Beijing or didn't commit any crimes that politically destabilize China.

The Vibrators are a British punk rock band that formed in 1976.

Early career
The Vibrators were founded by Ian 'Knox' Carnochan, bassist Pat Collier, guitarist John Ellis, and drummer John 'Eddie' Edwards. They first came to public notice at the 100 Club when they backed Chris Spedding in 1976. On Spedding's recommendation, Mickie Most signed them to his label RAK Records. Most produced their first single, "We Vibrate". The band also backed Spedding on his single, "Pogo Dancing".

The Vibrators recorded sessions for John Peel at BBC Radio 1 in October 1976, June 1977, and February 1978.  They were one of the pioneering punk bands that played at London's Roxy Club. They headlined in January 1977, supported by the Drones, and in February they played twice at the venue. In March 1977, the band supported Iggy Pop on his British tour. Later that year, they backed ex-Mott the Hoople frontman Ian Hunter.

Epic Records
The band signed to Epic Records in early 1977. Their debut album, Pure Mania was co-produced with Robin Mayhew, the sound engineer for David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust live shows, and reached the top 50 of the UK Albums Chart. The album is well regarded by some music critics and, 17 years after its release, The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music named Pure Mania one of the 50 best punk albums of all time.

Their follow-up album, V2, narrowly missed the UK top 30. The only single to be taken from that album, "Automatic Lover", was the only Vibrators' single to reach the UK top 40 where it reached No. 35. It earned the band a TV appearance on the prime-time TV show Top of the Pops. The Vibrators' final single on Epic, "Judy Says (Knock You in the Head)", was released in June 1978. It reached No. 70 on the UK Singles Chart. Years later it was included in Mojo magazine's list of the best punk rock singles of all time.

Later years
A lack of further chart activity, and with only one UK top 40 single to their credit, saw the Vibrators join the list of one-hit wonders; a list that includes other UK punk and new wave acts such as the Banned, the Flying Lizards, Jilted John, 999, the Radio Stars, and the Rich Kids.

During the 1980s, John Ellis recorded with Peter Gabriel, as well as recording and touring frequently with Peter Hammill, then subsequently the Stranglers, eventually joining the latter full-time in the 1990s. Pat Collier went on to work closely with the Soft Boys, producing their seminal album Underwater Moonlight, and Robyn Hitchcock, producing and mixing some of his solo albums (to which Knox also sometimes contributed). Phil Ram went on to form Able Ram and brought out two singles, "Disco in Moscow" and "Hope We Make It", although without any chart success.  Despite numerous line-up changes, the Vibrators continued to record and tour as a three-piece, with "Eddie" being the only original member.

In 2020, the original lineup of Knox, Eddie, Ellis and Collier reunited to record and release the studio album Mars Casino with Chris Spedding providing production, additional guitar, and vocals.

In January 2022, the Vibrators released a new single He's a Psycho. In July that year, a line-up of Knox, Pete, Nigel Bennet and Eddie announced Fall into the Sky, claimed to be the final Vibrators album.

Influence
The band Stiff Little Fingers took its name from the Vibrators' song of the same title. The song was penned by John Ellis, and appeared on the Vibrators' debut album Pure Mania.  Second wave punk band the Exploited covered the Vibrators' song "Troops of Tomorrow" and used it as the title track for their 1982 album. A cover of "Troops of Tomorrow" was also recorded by the Polish death metal band Vader, and released as a bonus track on the band's 2011 album, Welcome to the Morbid Reich.

Discussed Maharashtra weather: Ajit Pawar on public chat with Devendra Fadnavis
In a stunning turn of events, Fadnavis had on November 23 returned as chief minister propped up by Ajit Pawar, who was made his deputy.

MUMBAI: As eyebrows were raised over their first joint public appearance after the fall of the 80-hour- long government last month, NCP leader Ajit Pawar on Monday said he and former CM Devendra Fadnavis discussed "weather" during the meeting.
Both were sworn in a hush-hush early morning ceremony but the government lasted only 80 hours.
On Sunday, Fadnavis, now the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly and Pawar, leading contender for the deputy CM's post in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government headed by Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, were seen together for the first time since the fall of their short-lived government.

They shared the stage at the marriage ceremony of independent MLA Sanjay Shinde's daughter in Solapur district and were seen engrossed in a 20-minute animated chat.
"Just because we sat together doesn't mean something new is cooking. We discussed the weather and rainfall," Pawar told reporters in his home turf Baramati in Pune district.
"The chairs at the wedding were arranged in such a manner that both of us were seated together," he said.
"There are no permanent foes in politics. As we were seated together, it was natural for us to talk about the weather," he added.
Fadnavis last week told a TV channel that it was Ajit Pawar who approached him to form the short-lived government in Maharashtra.

warmth has been essential to man's existence in most parts of the world, and to starve from want of fire was nearly as desperate a state as to starve from want of food. The important place that fire has always held in man's esteem is shown by the fact that almost all early religions-from the very primitive to the more developed beliefs of the Greeks and Romans-incorporated a legend to account for the gift of fire to man.
fire was the celestial gift of Prometheus, who stole it from the gods and bore it to earth. In their anger, the gods doomed him to a terrible and eternal punishment. Since the origin of fire goes back to prehistory, we can only surmise how man actually discovered it. Possibly early man captured fire from a blaze started by lightning or by lava overflowing a volcano; Stone Age man might have discovered it while working flints to make weapons-a spark falling among dry grass could have been his first experience.
fire was a "civilizing" influence and is credited with the development of the home. A hunter, instead of tearing apart his kill in the woods or prairie, proudly carried the meat home to be delectably cooked over the campfire in front of his own cave. Later, probably tiring of rebuilding fires after rains, he moved the fire indoors to his cave living room. Found has been the remains of many cave fires with large numbers of bones; archeologists argue about whether the bones were left from food prepared over the fire or were used as fuel.
sounds like a smoky sort of heat until we realize that many caves have cracks and openings in their roofs and walls that lead to the outside. Choosing a good cave may have included a knowledge of drafts as well as other factors, and some caves undoubtedly had excellent natural draft systems. In addition, the stone walls of the cave reflected and retained the heat in a way our modern frame buildings and upholstered living rooms do not. The tendency to think of primitive man as living in great discomfort may be far from the fact; in this, as in so many areas, we may be priding ourselves on nonexistent advances over the past.
developed with the advance of civilization, lacked many of the amenities of the cave. A castle was a very drafty, uncomfortable place with poor sanitary facilities and cold food brought at great distance from the enormous kitchens in which it was prepared. The castle was heated by huge fires, originally built in the center of the great high-ceilinged halls, which drew all the heat to the ceiling and left the stone floor untouched by warmth. Eventually the fire was moved to one wall and a simple straight chimney was added. Although this got rid of some of the smoke, it was not much help in heating, since a large fireplace-and castle fireplaces were large enough to stand in-provides heat only when a large fire burns fiercely in it. When the fire burns down, the inside corners of the fireplace become cold, and hot air is drawn out of the room allowing fresh air to rush in.
castles were more often cooled than heated by their fireplaces. It took many centuries for Europeans to discover that a small fireplace with a small, steadily burning fire would provide more heat than a large one, which ate up wood while providing very little and very uneven warmth. Some of this discomfort was due to a curious historical phenomenon; knowledge is discovered, used, and lost over and over again. The Romans, who were excellent engineers-as we know from their roads and aqueducts, which still stand today-developed heating systems under their tiled floors that were very modern both in concept and in execution. With the fall of Rome, this simple invention, which contributed so much to comfortable living, was lost and was not discovered again until scholars excavated Roman sites.
heating had once again become sophisticated; the Dutch, German, Scandinavian, and French heating units were impressively efficient and satisfactory. The English, especially in the new Americas, stubbornly stuck to the open fireplace of which they were so fond, and froze in their frame houses from Vermont to Virginia.
thanks to Ben Franklin and Count Rumford, fireplaces became smaller-and developed smoke shelves, dampers, and other useful devices. The exception was the kitchen fireplace, which remained large because of its function; cooking was done over the open fire, to one side of the fire on coals raked from the fire proper, and in ovens set within and without the fireplace as well as in front of it. Many kitchen fireplaces contained cosy corners in which one could sit and warm himself, and herbs and vegetables were hung to dry on the wall above the lintel.

Children's Books, Getting Published, This Writer's Life
When Are You Going To Write a Proper Book?
amy5
This piece first appeared in the Sunday Independent
When are you going to write a proper book - a book for adults? It's a question every children's writer is asked at some stage of their career. I started out writing for children, switched to adults, and now write for both. When the inevitable question was put, I'd explain children are the most discerning audience of all, children's books are challenging and fun to write, and any author who doesn't try it at some stage is missing out. I am only one of a host of authors who write for both children and adults. J K Rowling's debut adult novel, The Casual Vacancy, a dark comedy about local politics will be published on 27th September, quite a risk for someone with such a successful track record in the children's book world.
Roald Dahl also wrote for adults and children, as do contemporary award-winners Philip Pullman, Neil Gaiman and most recently, Philippa Gregory. The American crime writers like James Patterson are all at it; and ex-SAS man Andy McNabb has produced a popular action/adventure series for younger readers.
shoestring1large
Under the Hawthorne Tree was an international hit for its creator, Marita Conlon-McKenna, followed by seven further bestsellers for young readers. Her latest book for children, Love Lucie (Simon and Schuster) has just been published and she is currently working on her next adult novel, The Rose Garden. So why did she turn to adult fiction after so much success in the children's world? "The Magdalen (Marita's first adult novel, about the laundries for unmarried mothers) was a story I'd always wanted to tell," she explains. "But because of the harsh subject I couldn't write it for children or even teenagers. It was very successful and my publishers asked me to write another book for adults."
"For me," she continues, "the story decides the age group, not the other way around, I'm driven by story; and my publishers give me great freedom to write what I want. Irish writers don't seem to get labelled or pigeonholed as much as other writers – they can write plays, musicals, screen plays and it's very acceptable. In other countries they seem to like their writers to stay in their box. Irish writers are an unknown quantity, no-one knows they will do next."
Like Marita, Wexford man, Eoin Colfer of Artemis Fowl fame always wanted to be a writer first and foremost, not a 'children's writer'. "I have had different stories in my head," he says, "some suitable for kids, some for adults. I think because I have such an outlandish or maybe juvenile imagination some of my stories are definitely only for children, but recently some of the more complicated stories have been pushing themselves to the front of my brain. I also will admit to feel a little pressure (self-imposed) to write a book for grown-ups."
Switching from writing for adults to writing for children is more usual and Judi Curtin, author of the popular Alice and Megan series did just that. Her first book Sorry, Walter was for adults but after finishing her second adult novel she wanted to write something that her daughters could read. "It was supposed to be a temporary change," she says, "but it snowballed." She has now written thirteen children's books but is also exploring the adult world again. "There's a story I'd like to tell which isn't for children," she says.
The Giggler Treatment, Roddy's Doyle's first book for younger readers was written to entertain his children. "I wrote a few pages towards the end of every working day," he says, "and read them to them at bedtime, starting at the beginning every night. It gradually became a book." When asked will he continue to write for children, he says "I'm not sure. My books for children have always been aimed at particular children - and children, I've noticed, tend to grow up and stop being children. But if the ideas are there and, more importantly, the urge to put them on paper is there, I'll still give it a bash."
John Boyne had never thought about writing for young readers until the idea for The Boy In the Striped Pyjamas came into his head. He says "The experience I had with that book – going into schools, getting children interested in reading – opened up my imagination in a new way and I found that I wanted to write for both audiences." Like Roddy, he will continue to write for both audiences. "In fact I've just delivered a draft of my next adult novel to my editor. I'll be rewriting that over the next six months or so but I've just started a draft of a new children's book too."
Master of children's horror, Darren Shan also started out writing for adults. His first adult book, Procession of the Dead was published in 1999, a year before Cirque Du Freak (his first children's book). "I had written a lot of first-draft books by that stage," he says, "all of which were aimed at adults. I thought that was where my career lay, but I'd always wanted to try a children's book. One day I had the idea for Cirque Du Freak and by the time I had finished the first draft, I had already decided to write another book for children."
Darren now writes for both children and adults. "I've learnt so much about pacing and editing while working on my children's books, which has fed back into the books I write for adults. I love the dichotomy of moving between the two worlds (adult's and children's publishing)," he adds, "and I would love to be able to continue doing that far into the future."
When asked which adult writer he'd like to see writing for children, Darren immediately says "Kurt Vonnegut – he could have been a great children's author if he had been that way inclined." Roddy Doyle's choice is Anne Enright. "Any book for children by Anne would be magical." Marita Conlon McKenna suggests Marian Keyes, and John Boyne would love to see David Mitchell tackle children's literature. "Knowing his extraordinary imagination and linguistic abilities, I think (it) would be something very special," he says.
And finally Eoin Colfer nominates Colm Toibin. "I would love him to be forced to call me and ask for advice on pacing," he says, "so I could churlishly hang up. It's the auld Wexford-Enniscorthy rivalry!"
Will Eoin ever get his chance? We'll just have to wait and see.
Sarah Webb has two books out this month, Ask Amy Green: Dancing Daze for young teens (Walker Books) and The Shoestring Club for adults (Pan Macmillan).

Descrição: Patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) usually experience naming difficulty due to storage and access problems in phonological-lexical representation. Investigating naming response patterns followed by cueing may help us to understand the underlying mechanism of naming deficits in AD. A total of 221 patients with mild cognitive impairment and AD [Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) 0.5, 1, 2] were included as subjects. Sixty items of the Korean version of the Boston Naming Test were given, and upon failure, semantic/syllabic cues were verbally presented. From the results, even in the CDR 2 group, which is considered to be a moderate stage of AD, syllabic cues significantly facilitated correct responses. Our findings are in contrast with previous studies conducted with English-speaking patients, which reported that phonological-lexical representation may have been disrupted in the moderate stage of AD, and that none of the cues facilitated correct word retrieval. The difference may be ascribed to the fact that direct access to the phonological-lexical representation via syllabic cues was possible in the confrontation naming task performed by the Korean patients. It can be concluded that phonological-lexical representation in moderate stage Korean AD might be partially preserved because syllabic cues in AD patients were effective in facilitating target words.

Hello Sir I have a personal signature card issued from State Bank of America, Which I need to get appostille stamping on it. I have passport of American origin, but the bank people asked me to get appostille stamp from India. Can I get apostille stamp on it. From where can I get this and what are the documents to be submitted?
Your document can get appostille stamp from India. Usually it is obtained from Delhi. But as you are having passport of American origin, it may be a difficult task to obtain appostille. If you have any other identification document such as pancard which is an origin of India, we can get the appostille stamp. But the personal signature card should clearly mention which is the document submitted as attachment and the details should be the same as the which one is enclosed.
How can I get a job in country like Netherlands? For this how does legalization help?
You need someone there who can legally help you either your blood relatives, friends or may be a company who is going to employ you. Through your sponsor you can obtain a residential permit and then apply for a labor card. Apostilles of your original documents process valid in Countries who are members of Haque Convention to obtain employment visa, Family visa etc.
The simplicity and widespread acceptance of an Apostille has resulted in becoming the most widely used method for legalizing a degree in order to use it internationally.


The keynote lecture was delivered expertly by Prof Paul Tambyah from Singapore. (I have recently published a paper with Paul on reducing VRE, and so I know what a hard academic task-master he is!) Paul begain by highlighting how advances in medicine are already being held back by AMR – and worse is to come, exemplified by the recent emergence of transmissible colistin resistance. Paul spent some time discussing the necessity of surveillance, particularly in high risk populations (and cleverly likened the ICU to the canary in the coal mine; an early warning of AMR and other emerging microbial threats). The majority of the talk centred around where infection prevention meets engineering: advanced diagnostics, endoscopes, vascular and catheter lines, taps, ventilators, water hygiene…and water heater coolers! (This included reference to a 'The case against the catheter' (from 1958) and some discussion of the challenges of catheterising a mouse. Seriously.) Paul concluded with a somewhat encouraging view of infectious diseases (as we come towards the end of antibiotics), referring to a 1999 MMWR report to illustrate that deaths from infectious diseases in the US were well on the way down before antibiotics or vaccines came on the scene!
I present some slides on behalf of Dr Ceire Costello about applied data linkage, based on recent discoveries from a CPE screening dataset (that will be presented at ECCMID).
Sam Reed (http://www.dnae.co.uk/) outlined DNA Electronic's vision to miniaturise and simplify genome sequencing tech for point of care applications.
Dr Larrouy-Maumus presented interesting work using MALDI-TOF to detect microbes and resistance mechanisms.
Dr Frankie Bolt presented another novel diagnostic approach: mass spec with a twist (REIMS).
Along similar lines (in terms of application), Dr Myrsini Kaforou described how patterns of gene expression in blood to can be used to detect bacterial infection.
Dr David Birch showed us around his seriously cool KPMG Data Observatory (think Minority Report twinned with The Beautiful Mind).
Prof Ed Tate highlighted the potential role of protein modification in preventing difficile sporulation, and other ID applications.
Dr Martina Valentini presented data on interrupting biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
And finally, Dr Miraz Rahman introduced me to G-quadruplex DNA structures, and their potential to interrupt AMR.
All in all, a very interesting day. There is a great deal of potential and pretty much completely unrealised synergy between experts in engineering and the physical sciences and I hope that EMBRACE and other similar initiatives will lead to fruitful new developments in our fight against HCAI and AMR.
Greatjon, but all these interesting works will be presented only in ESCMID????
Thanks Olga – just the data on CPE screening will be presented at ECCMID.

Q: Using jQuery to get data attribute values with .each() I have the following HTML with data attributes - I want to write some jQuery that will loop through the HTML and collect the data attributes and put them into an array - could anyone assist as I'm getting an error.
ERROR in console log : item.data is not a function

I am trying to use the data() attribute - can you see what I'm doing wrong?
// My HTML code

// My jQuery code
var multi = $('.winners');
var winners_array = [];

$.each(multi, function (index, item) {
    winners_array.push( {name: 'fullname', value: item.data('fullname')} );
});

console.log(winners_array);
// ERROR in console log : item.data is not a function

A: I understand you should use $(item), instead data only. Kindly find the code below:

A: item is not a jQuery object, the arguments for each are the index and the native DOM element
var multi = $('.winners');
var winners_array = [];

$.each(multi, function (index, item) {
    winners_array.push( {name: 'fullname', value: $(item).data('fullname')} );
});

using a map would be easier
var winners_array = $.map($('.winners'), function(el) {
     return {name: 'fullname', value: $(el).data('fullname')}
});

A: Use item.dataset.fullname instead.
var multi = $('.winners');
var winners_array = [];

$.each(multi, function (index, item) {
    winners_array.push( {name: 'fullname', value: item.dataset.fullname} );
});

console.log(winners_array);

Q: Adding destination email to contact form I have a contact form at codepen.io, but it is not working. I don't know where I must put the email address that messages will be sent to.
<form class="cf">

    <input type="text" id="input-name" placeholder="Name">
    <input type="email" id="input-email" placeholder="Email address">
    <input type="text" id="input-subject" placeholder="Subject">

    <textarea name="message" type="text" id="input-message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>

  <input type="submit" value="Submit" id="input-submit">
</form>

Thanks in advance for any help.

A: If you just want a really basic form to send an email, you can set the form action to "mailto:user@email.com". This will open the users default mail client and populate the subject and body with the contents of inputs named "subject" and "body" in the form. The form itself won't send email though - you would need PHP for that.

After reading and being wowed by Kellie Coats Gilbert's debut novel Mother Of Pearl, I was quite excited to not only find out about A Woman Of Fortune but also to get my hands on a copy.
I don't know how she does it, must be a sign of a truly good writer, but Kellie Coates Gilbert has an amazing way of getting into the characters minds and totally immersing the reader in the story. My life couldn't be any more different than Claire's, for one thing there is an age gap of 20+ years, and yet I was so completely pulled into Claire's life that it came as a mild shock when I had to return to my own world.
A Woman Of Fortune is a thought-provoking look into what might happen to a family that has been torn by deceit and are in the public eye. Each member has to deal with the fallout and make their own choices on how to handle it.
I have to say that after reading this book I won't look at the news stories in quite the same way anymore. Kellie Coates Gilbert shows the pain a family can go through when only seen through the lens of a news camera and I don't think I will be quite as quick to judge after this.
The author is a master at capturing how people truly are. The emotions, reactions, and actions of the characters are so realistic that it will make you examine yourself and wonder how you might act in the same situation. This is a family reeling from a shocking blow, they make mistakes, they don't always act like perfect Christians, but they are totally real. And in the end it all comes down to family, faith, and the power of real love.
A Woman Of Fortune is a book for women of all ages, one you really shouldn't miss. It's entertaining and the reader comes away with the desire to strengthen their own families.
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives A Woman Of Fortune by Kellie Coates Gilbert a 4.5 Bark rating.

PolarisQB Announce Hiring of Pharmacologist Ian Reynolds
Polarisqb is proud to add Dr. Ian Reynolds, a world renowned expert in pharmacology, as an advisor to the company. Dr. Ian Reynolds is an experienced pharmaceutical executive who has been recognized for his work in small molecule drug discovery and has helped a number of academic researchers translate into the world of biotech research and drug development.
Dr. Ian Reynolds, renowned pharmacologist, is joining PolarisQB as an advisor.
Following a PhD. from Johns Hopkins in pharmacology and a postdoctoral fellowship in the University of Chicago's Neuropharmacology department, Dr. Reynolds has been involved in a number of successful pharmaceutical ventures, including Knopp Biosciences and Teva Pharmaceuticals before taking over as the CEO of Belgium's Rewind Therapeutics in 2018. He has studied a wide variety of Central Nervous System (CNS) diseases over the course of his career, investigating drug targets and therapeutic treatments for diseases like ALS, Parkinson's Disease, and Multiple Sclerosis..
Both Dr. Reynolds and Polarisqb are excited about the continued development of the Tachyontm quantum drug discovery platform, as it holds great promise for novel drug development for many diseases that have proven difficult or impossible for researchers to reach. Strong computational models will end up enabling researchers to look at much more complex chemical interactions. As Dr. Reynolds stated, "The current in silico process for drug discovery requires that scientists simplify the characteristics they are testing for, to fall within the limits of classical computational parameters. The promise of computer aided drug design on a quantum system is that researchers could factor for a multitude of properties on a single run, allowing for a much more efficient process, better results, and shorter drug development timelines." By utilizing quantum computing, the Tachyontm platform is able to identify the right molecule that will become a drug from a library of billion molecules in a fraction of the time that it would take for classical systems to run the same combinatorial optimizations.
Polarisqb is utilizing quantum computing to reduce the timelines of computer aided drug discovery many times over. Dr. Reynolds expertise in pharmacology, and especially in CNS diseases, will drive forward the promise of quantum computing aided drug design. Dr. Reynolds predicts that "The future of protein targeting will likely be 100% in silico, but we are currently in the process of transitioning between a largely wet lab dependent operation and more powerful computing solutions like the Tachyon system that Polarisqb is building. These systems have the potential to revolutionize the optimization process and with it the entire drug research and development industry."[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

For those who are interested in the works of Sir Walter Scott, this set is a real find. The poetical works of Scott are more important than those of many authors because poetry is how he began his career and he never really stopped telling stories in verse. His fascination with his own country's native poetry led him to compile and publish his first work, The Minstrelsy of the Southern Border. After this he began to write full length books in verse such as The Lay of the Last Minstrel and The Lady of the Lake. Scott was a true scholar of literature as well as poetry and these twelve volumes contain all of his notes and introductions along with various readings and the editor's notes. There is much information and pleasure to be found in this set. The books are bound in half-leather over marbled boards. They are 12mo in size. The endpapers are also marbled. there is some normal shelfwear to the books that has occurred over the years. The spines are very nicely decorated in gilt and each separate volume has a frontispiece as well as a pictorial title page. In four of the volumes the tissue guard (small piece of tissue paper between the frontispiece and the title page) is not present. Most volumes show some shelfwear such as a bit of wear to the top and bottom of the spines and extremities. Volume eight shows particular wear to the spine. All of the bindings are very tight and the textblocks are clean with no foxing. All edges are nicely marbled and within the texts there is also printed the musical scores to the rhymes which had been set to melody thus being historical folk songs so to speak. This is a wonderful set that will be enjoyed for generations as it indeed has already been enjoyed by previous generations. We are pleased to send pictures on request.

Edouard-Jean Réquin (* 13. Juli 1879 in Rouen, Département Seine-Maritime; † 2. Januar 1953) war ein französischer Général d'armée, der unter anderem während des Zweiten Weltkrieges Oberkommandierender der 4. Armee war.

Leben
Réquin absolvierte eine Offiziersausbildung an der Militärschule Saint-Cyr und war danach Offizier in verschiedenen Einheiten des Heeres (Armée de terre ). Er war zwischen dem 16. September 1927 und dem 20. Dezember 1930 zur besonderen Verfügung und erhielt während dieser Zeit am 8. Dezember 1928 seine Beförderung zum Général de brigade. Anschließend war er vom 20. Dezember 1930 bis zum 14. Oktober 1932 Chef des Militärkabinetts im Kriegsministerium und war damit einer der engsten Mitarbeiter der damaligen Kriegsminister Louis Barthou, André Maginot, André Tardieu, François Piétri und Joseph Paul-Boncour. In dieser Zeit erfolgte am 18. März 1932 seine Beförderung zum Général de division.

Réquin fungierte zwischen dem 14. Oktober 1932 und dem 6. April 1935 als Kommandeur der 11. Division. Nach seiner Beförderung zum Général de corps d'armée am 6. April 1935 wurde er Kommandant der 18. Militärregion und bekleidete diese Funktion bis zum 1. August 1936. Danach war er vom 1. August 1936 bis zum 4. September 1938 Kommandant der 20. Militärregion und wurde am 4. September 1938 zum Général d'armée befördert. Anschließend war er zwischen dem 4. September 1938 und dem 2. September 1939 Mitglied des Obersten Kriegsrates sowie in Personalunion zeitgleich Kommandant der Hochschule für Studien der nationalen Verteidigung (Collège des Hautes Etudes de Défense Nationale).

Nach Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurde Touchon am 2. September 1939 Oberkommandierender der 4. Armee, die zur Verteidigung der Maginot-Linie im Bereich der Saar und Lothringens aufgestellt wurde. Sie war Teil der 2. Heeresgruppe unter General André-Gaston Prételat und verfügte zu Beginn des deutschen Westfeldzugs über zwei Armeekorps und zwei unabhängige Divisionen, davon eine polnische. Im Zuge der Saar-Offensive, einer kleinen Offensive zu Beginn des Sitzkrieges, rückten im September 1939 Truppen der 2. Heeresgruppe einige Kilometer auf deutsches Gebiet vor. Nach der Niederlage Frankreichs im Juni 1940 wurde sie aufgelöst und Réquin daraufhin am 6. Juli 1940 Inspekteur der 17. und 18. Militärregion. Auf diesem Posten verblieb er bis zum 10. November 1940 und fungierte danach vom 10. November 1940 bis zu seiner Versetzung in den Ruhestand am 13. Juli 1941 als Kommandierender General der 2. Divisionsgruppe.

Réquin, dem unter anderem das Großkreuz der Ehrenlegion (Grand-croix de la Légion d'Honneur) verliehen wurde, wurde 1945 Präsident der Gesellschaft der Mitglieder der Ehrenlegion SMLH (Société des membres de la Légion d'honneur) und hatte diese Funktion bis zu seiner Ablösung durch General Henri-Emile-Louis Rouvillois 1952.

I'm raising a crazy son. Just in case I don't survive the ordeal, I'm documenting it all in comic form for posterity.
Hey, they'll have a hard time proving it.
I gotta take notes from this kid.
Patrick - This is true!
Kyle - He could teach a class!

Madeon first became known in 2011 when he live sampled 39 hits to create his frantic yet perfectly sculptural "Pop Culture," which instantly propelled the then-17-year-old to the international stage. By the time he released his debut album Adventure in 2015, Madeon was a globally beloved artist with production credits for Lady Gaga and Coldplay. Soon after, he teamed with Porter Robinson for "Shelter," an immersive, ecstatic single he calls their "victory lap."
Now, Madeon is perhaps a more deeply seasoned artist than wide-eyed dreamer from Nantes, France — but he's just as ambitious as ever.
"All My Friends" is the radiant introduction to this new era. It's the sort of pop song that by any other artist, would have required work from a team of writers and producers. Madeon, of course, wrote and produced it himself. Following the path he began on Adventure with songs like "Home," he is the lead vocalist on the track.
Madeon began working on "All My Friends" when he booked a studio for three days in New York "just to see what would happen," he says. "I remember I was walking alone, and the sun was a particular shade. It struck me all at once, vividly. It was like a flavor: sounds and sights and smells. I felt impossibly confident and enthusiastic."
Madeon can seem as much a musician as a world-building architect, and there's no question his full vision for what comes next will soon shine through. But for the moment we have a single song, a brilliant statement of new purpose.

It snowed in Dallas yesterday, and I'm not talking about the normal snow (a few flakes and no stickage), it was REALLY coming down. Living in the south we don't experience cold temperatures like our friends in the North, and we definitely do not see snow like this. It is so beautiful and all it makes me want to do is curl up on the couch, turn on a good flick, and eat!
Nothing says winter to me like comfort food (or beverages). There are just certain types of foods that you don't eat as much in the summertime, especially when it tops out at 100 degrees on a cool day. Here are a few of my favorite wintery treats.
Coffee is something I must have everyday, all year round, but I love the winter specials at Starbucks! My current drink is a Tall Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte…and it's only 90 calories! I was sad to see the Pumpkin and Creme Brule Latte's go, but there are plenty more delicious flavors to tide me over till next season.
My absolute favorite winter drink is hot chocolate, and nothing says "childhood" to me better than Swiss Miss. I don't drink hot chocolate in the summer months so I love to savor a delicious and chocolaty cup when it's cold outside!
I still eat soup during the spring and summer months, but not nearly as frequently as I do in the winter time. I love everything about soup. It's comforting, hardy, and I love how it gets better and better the longer it sits! Here are just a few of my favorite soups. Click on the links to see my favorite recipes or restaurant for each.
Clam Chowder – I don't have a lot of experience making chowder. The last recipe I tried was decent, but way too clammy. I'm giving it another try on Matt's B-Day next month so check back for the results!!
Tomato Basil – The best thing about Tomato Basil soup is that it's just as good with fattening cream as it is with almost zero fat. Check out my favorite low fat recipe. I could eat the entire pot!
Chicken Noodle – The best chicken noodle soup is definitely what mom makes, but you also can't beat a simple can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup! Nothing makes you feel more at home when your sick, or just want a hot meal on a cold day.
Chili – I had to save the best for last! What's better than meat, chilis, and tomatoes in a bowl…and I love how many different ways you can make chili. The tastiness is endless!
I love love love casseroles. Their easy, fattening, stuffed full of flavor, and you can make so many different kinds! The ultimate comfort food!
Squash – My favorite! Click on the link to see my blog post solely dedicated to my favorite Holiday food.
Potato & Broccoli – More family staples at Thanksgiving and Christmas! My next project is to gather all of the ingredients from the women in my family so I can share these amazing recipes!
Tuna Noodle – I don't have a particular recipe that I use for this one on a regular basis, but the latest one I tried was pretty tasty!
I definitely eat Italian food year round but it usually involves lighter sauces and smaller portions.
Lasagna – COMFORT!!! The first time I made lasagna I painfully realized how time consuming it is (I think we ate at midnight). Now that I've found a recipe I love it's gone from being a chore to a relaxing and enjoyable experience. My favorite place to eat Lasagna, click on the link, inspired me to find a recipe to make at home and it gets better every time!
Fettucini Alfredo – my father, hands down, makes the best Fettucini Alfredo! It's so much fun to watch him make it and put ALL of that amazing cream into the sauce. Again, another task for me is to get the recipe from him and compile a family cookbook!!
Chicken Parmesan – You cannot go wrong with this Italian staple. Anything breaded and covered with cheese is alright by me!
I can't even pick my favorite recipes for each of these amazing desserts!!! Oddly enough I just tasted my first pecan pie a few years back and I couldn't believe what I had been missing all of these years! Pumpkin, peaches, and ice cream don't even need an explanation! Pure heaven!!
Radiohead is my favorite band of all time. Their musical genius is beyond any band that I've ever been exposed to. I remember like it was yesterday the day I listened to them for the first time. I was in middle school and was the top sellers for our school's fundraiser. My prize was a "Barber Shop Mix" CD with the unedited version of Creep on it. Up to that point my musical exposure was Whitney Houston and Gospel music. Needless to say (I still love Whitney and Gospel!!) they changed me! Their music transports me to another planet and seeing them live is unlike any musical experience I have ever had. Oh and my husband and I got engaged on our trip to LA to see Radiohead! 🙂 What better band to listen to anytime, but especially on days like today.
My mother makes an awesome clam chowder. I can certainly get the recipe for you.
Oh yes I want it!!!!
you make me hungry, in fact I might venture out to get stuff to make squash casserole! Thanks for the inspiration and for the music reference, love the song by Radiohead – perfect for this wintery, snowy day!
Yes you should make some – then I'm going to come over and eat it!!

When Calls the Heart: Second Chances
When Calls the Heart: Second Chances is a follow up film to When Calls the Heart: The Dance. Previously, Elizabeth and a new miner in town started flirting and spending lots of time together. Jack became quite jealous of their relationship and was also suspicious of Billy's character. He did not trust the new miner and believed that he had ill intentions
His suspicion turned out to be right, as Billy revealed that he only loved Elizabeth for her money. She was devastated, and apologized to Jack for not listening to him sooner. All was forgiven and the two struck up a friendship once more.
When Calls the Heart: Second Chances begins with Elizabeth still recovering from the insecurity that Billy left her with. She apologizes once more to Jack, feeling guilty for the way she fell for Billy's tricks. Jack does his best to assure her that he is not upset, but accidentally says something offensive to Elizabeth. He did not mean it at all, and it was just a slip of the tongue. However, Elizabeth is greatly offended and believes that she can no longer trust Jack either.
Elizabeth vents her anger and pent up frustration to Abigail, and she is able to give her support and comfort. Abigail is adjusting to having an empty house, other than Elizabeth of course. With the recent loss of her husband, she has had a lot more time to spend baking. Her family used to always rave about her delicious pastries, and Elizabeth informs her that her food is better than anything she ever had at home. The chefs at her house were from ritzy culinary schools, and her comment gets Abigail thinking. She needs to channel her extra time and energy into something, so she decides to attempt to reopen the Coal Valley cafe.
Abigail presents her idea to Mr. Gowen, and he presents her with some conditions. She may reopen the Coal Valley cafe if she splits the profits half and half with him, does all the repair work herself, and move from her home to smaller living quarters above the cafe. She does not want to give up her house, but opening the cafe and starting a new life may be the only way that she can truly move forward from her husband's death.
Within the classroom, Elizabeth is experiencing new troubles with another student. Bo Grady has a tough time reading and everyone just assumes that he is not very intelligent. Elizabeth thinks that he has more potential than anyone knows. He was told by the last teacher that he was too stupid to learn, and was kicked out of the classroom. Now that Elizabeth has taken over the teaching role, he is back in the classroom, but is still struggling immensely with his studies.
Elizabeth decides to approach Bo's parents and see if they would let her give him an intelligence test to determine his learning abilities. She wants to try out some newer and different reading methods on him to see if he just learns differently than the rest of the children. She travels to his house, and discovers an extensive collection of model airplanes and. When questioned about them, Bo explains that he didn't have any instructions for building them but made them up based on pictures in the newspaper and magazines. Elizabeth is thoroughly convinced that the young boy is far more intelligent than anyone gives him credit for.
In the meantime, Jack is trying to repair his relationship with Elizabeth. He wants to express to her that his feelings are deep and true, but he doesn't know quite how to do so. He clumsily tells her that he feels deeply for her and works up enough courage to ask her out on a real date. Initially, Elizabeth says no, still hurt by the thing he accidentally said to her. However, after thinking about his offer more, she accepts on the terms that he must help her administer Bo's intelligence test. This opportunity excites Jack, as he wants to show Elizabeth just how much he really cares for her.
Elizabeth sees how much effort that Jack is putting into repairing their relationship, and she is greatly touched by his actions. The results of Bo's test come back in an unusual and unexpected way. His intelligence is ranked very high and he scores extremely well. However, it also reveals that he suffers from dyslexia, which helps Elizabeth understand why he has so much trouble in school.
Elizabeth becomes very caught up in helping Bo learn to read using a new method. She is also very distracted by her burgeoning relationship with Jack, and barely notices that Abigail is returning home from the cafe later and later each night. One night, however, she doesn't return at all and Elizabeth becomes frantic. She grabs Jack and they go to the cafe together to find out what is wrong.
There, they find Abigail fast asleep in front of an unfinished batch of cookies. Her work has taken a toll on her and she is exhausted from all the effort that she is putting forth. She has become very unconfident and doesn't believe that she can reopen the cafe. Elizabeth informs her that she is much stronger than she thinks and that there are many people willing to help her if she needs it. Her confidence restored, Abigail moves forward with her life and with the reopening of the cafe.
Meanwhile, the town celebrates the return of the lone survivor from the terrible mining accident that claimed the lives of so many. The whole town celebrates and learns how to find new beginnings out of the ashes of their grief. Abigail found a new purpose in life, Bo learned to read, and Jack and Elizabeth overcame their differences and are moving toward a beautiful relationship together.
