Grief and Love in the Animal Kingdom
From mourning orcas to distressed elephants, biological anthropologist Barbara J. King has witnessed grief and love across the animal kingdom. In this eye-opening talk, she explains the evidence behind her belief that many animals experience complex emotions, and suggests ways all of us can treat them more ethically -- including every time we eat. "Animals don't grieve exactly like we do, but this doesn't mean that their grief isn't real," she says. "It is real, and it's searing, and we can see it if we choose."

Crawl for urls should have option to use proxies — .:: GSA SEO & Marketing Forum ::.
Hope you know what I mean. As a lot of servers now have protection and I always often get my own ipblocked from my own site if I fetching alot of urls and anchors using gsa ser.
well usually this server where you crawl urls is your own no?
@sven indeed but often the server will "detect unusual activity" and block the IP address automatically and if you have a dynamic ip like mine this is a pain each time.Meaning I have to then eithier go on the site fill out recaptcha or go into the cpanel and unblock myself which can be a bit of a pain. Also might be a problem if I choose to crawl my blogs hosted on platforms such as wordpress or tumblr as if you have an auto blog it might cause something to ping and cause it to be detected as a auto blog by the system for instances.
Thank you! Having a little trouble though as the use proxies option is gray and unclickable for me?
ups sorry, need to change that (silent update).

As we await the Taycan later in 2019
Faster, Porsche presented the 8th generation of the 911 in Petree Hall at the Los Angeles Auto Show. "California is the ideal place to introduce the new 911.

New generation of design, suspensions, engines and technology

We drive the Volkswagen Atlas SEL AWD V6
Volkswagen is the biggest car company in the world but they lacked a seven passenger SUV in their showroom, one of the most popular types of vehicles today. It took them a while to do the math and figure out that a seven passenger SUV can make them more money. The result is the Volkswagen Atlas and there has been a lot of hype about the Atlas so we had to find out for ourselves if it is a worthy challenger to the already established kingdom of SUVs.

We drive the 2018 Volkswagen Golf S
The Volkswagen Golf is one of the best selling cars in the world. There is a good reason for that. It is one of the best car values, at least in the US at the moment. When you consider what you get and the Golf's asking price, the Golf is a fantastic bargain that cannot be overlooked. The best part of the Golf is the feel that you get when you drive it and unfortunately not all drivers receive that input. Many buyers look for gimmicks or standard features to impress them. What sets the Golf apart is its simplicity and wholesome qualities.
Audi unveils the e-Tron SUV
Can order now for delivery in 2019

The new Mercedes-Benz EQC
The Mercedes-Benz among electric vehicles

In mid-2019 the time has now come: The EQC is the first Mercedes-Benz vehicle to be launched under the EQ brand. With its seamless, clear design and color highlights typical of the brand, it is a pioneer for an avant-garde electric look while representing the design idiom of Progressive Luxury. By virtue of its muscular proportions, the EQC is classed as a crossover SUV.
Autonomous and safe?
Automated driving in urban traffic (Good Luck)
Automated vehicles will become part of everyday life in the near future – not only on clearly structured motorways and expressways, but also in urban areas. Yet urban traffic in particular poses huge challenges for the researchers and developers of the necessary technologies. The task is to master considerably more complex road layouts, processes and possible scenarios. In addition, towns and cities are places where many different road users interact in a relatively confined space.
Driving like a Porsche Drives
No compromises just because it's electric
Innovative electric drive and eternal Porsche virtues—do those two things go together? Definitely, according to Stefan Weckbach, who's in charge of developing the Taycan model range. The first purely electrically driven Porsche ushers in a new era—while also staying true to the sports-car brand's classic values.
Part 1: Colorado to California on US Route 50
by Stephen Cox
The Loneliest Road isn't quite as lonely as it once was, but it should still be on the bucket list of every automobile enthusiast. Having now crossed Death Valley, the American Mojave, Sonora and Great Basin deserts as well as spending a full month in the Sahara a few years back, I can say from personal experience that the desert you will cross on US Route 50 West is on par with any in the world.

You can even the RAV4 as a hybrid which is what we opted for.
We drive the Lexus NX300 F Sport
SUVs these days come in all different sizes and shapes. Manufacturers are starting to come out with SUVs that are basically cars but they give them an SUV shape because they know that it would sell better. The Lexus NX300 is one of those vehicles that reminds one of a car more than an SUV. Lexus says that it offers a raised driving position with a cockpit that "evokes a sporty driving experience with new features to complement a busy lifestyle." The cockpit of the NX300 is indeed sporty looking and our F Sport model added full length illuminated needles as well as sport seats with more aggressive bolsters.
The Ultimate Guide to Charging an Electric Car
IQS Directory
Of the more than 17 Million new cars sold in the United States in 2017, nearly 200,000 of them were electric vehicles, according to market reports. While that may seem like a drop in the bucket, it's actually a huge increase from previous years, especially since EV's have only been commercially available since the groundbreaking release of the Toyota Prius in Japan in 1997. For most of us, electric vehicles still seem like a mysterious new piece of technology, but they actually have a long and storied history dating back over 100 years!

Journey to Zero, Zero, Zero

Her appearance consists of an opening speech followed by a Q&A session. GM is well on their way to bringing at least 20 new all-electric models to market by 2023 – their next step toward a zero-emissions world. They are optimistic about EVs because last year, automakers sold 1.2 million plug-in electric and plug-in hybrids around the world.
Volkswagen Unveils All-Electric I.D. Vizzion Concept
Electric all-wheel-drive system delivering up to 413 miles of range

We drive the BMW 530e
If I told you a few years ago that you can buy a plug-in hybrid with a BMW badge, you probably would not believe me. The fact is that now you can buy the 530e iPerformance which is one of our favorite BMW models (except for M models, of course). It is completely a 5 series BMW first which is great because the 5 series has always been the perfect size.

The Visual Carbon Fiber exterior is the most obvious individual feature of the McLaren Senna Carbon Theme by MSO.
Porsche Development in four dimensions
Michael Steiner on the dawn of a new age of mobility
Over the next ten to fifteen years Porsche will be relying on a triumvirate of drive concepts. Porsche will offer vehicles with continuously optimized combustion engines, attractive plug-in hybrid models and purely electric sports cars in parallel. The reason: Since demand for e-mobility is developing very differently in the various regions of the world, the strategy pursued by a company with a global presence must be as flexible as possible during this transitional period. Purely electric vehicles will play an increasingly significant role in the future, for Porsche as well as for everyone else.

A Brilliant Track-Derived Exhilaration And Performance

The name is, in fact, a direct homage to Ferrari's unparalleled heritage in motor sports.

I Took a Stranger for a Ride in a Mercedes-AMG GT
by Jodi Lai
Christopher Graeme Sidebottom, who sometimes goes by Popsicles Sanchez, is a 100 percent real person who has given up defending his name, which is 100 percent not made up. He is 31 years old with a big ginger beard, friendly face, and unassuming posture. He builds TV and movie sets in Toronto and admittedly knows nothing about cars -- he only has his learner's permit and the last car that ever got any attention from him was the Plymouth Prowler. He sometimes operates a forklift, but hasn't driven pretty much anything.
Mission E brings 800-volt charging, OTA updates
Fast. Puristic. Emotive. For the past 70 years, the Porsche brand has been synonymous with sports car construction at the very highest level. The company begins its anniversary year with a New Year Reception. The first vehicle to bear the Porsche name was registered on June 8, 1948: It was the 356 "No.1" Roadster. This is the day on which the Porsche brand was born. The Type 356 turned Ferry Porsche's dream of a sports car into a reality.
Six reasons to buy a Camaro ZL1 now
by Luke Peters
No doubt about it: the Camaro is intense. For good reason. The first generation of Camaro blew the world by storm all the way back in 1966. Chevy had 52 years to perfect their "baby." Anyone who dares to get behind the wheel of one of these bad boys knows this. (Not that you need many reasons to buy one, as we'll take a look at now.)

Ajay Devgn has been a part of Indian Film Industry for over 20 years and the actor has been a associated with acclaimed films like Naajayaz, Zakhm, The Legend of Bhagat Singh and more recently Drishyam. A couple of days back, the versatile actor was felicitated for his immense contribution to Indian Cinema at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)'s Big Picture Summit.
"When you are an actor you do not think about genres... When you are doing comedy you do think, 'Oh I wish I was doing a serious film as it takes less energy'. Comedy needs a lot of energy and timing. When you are doing action you feel it's tiring. I like to switch and do different things."
The actor, who made a debut as a director with U Me Aur Hum, is now charged up to direct his second film Shivaay which is one of the costliest films to be made in India. The actor will not just be directing Shivaay but will also co-produce the film with Eros International.
"I won't say that donning the hat of a producer is my favourite one but I love doing it because it stresses you out too much. Rest as an actor or a director, I am pretty much comfortable handling both, so I don't have to worry about that.
Where direction is considered, I am very comfortable because of my father. When I was 11 years old, I used to edit his sequences, which were very difficult for people to edit. It was a lot of training at that point of time because I loved my work and learned from it."
The shooting for Shivaay commences in Cananda from November this year and the film is scheduled to release during Diwali next year.

Domenico Mancini (doc. 1511) fue un pintor renacentista italiano probablemente oriundo de Venecia.

Datos biográficos
No tenemos ningún dato cierto sobre Mancini, excepto la mínima información que nos aporta su Virgen con el Niño y ángel músico, conservada en el Duomo de Lendinara (originalmente fue realizada para la desaparecida iglesia de San Francesco) y firmada "dominicj mancinj/ venetj p / 1511". Es esta una obra básicamente derivativa de las de Giovanni Bellini, principalmente en sus figuras. Sin embargo, el tratamiento del color le aleja del hieratismo belliniano para comunicarle un aire emotivo similar al estilo del joven Tiziano, todavía cercano al arte de Giorgione.

Obras posteriores acentúan el gusto por el color y la sensibilidad se hace más giorgionesca si cabe. A la espera de nuevos descubrimientos que posibiliten un mayor conocimiento de la figura de Mancini, lo poco que sabemos de él permite vislumbrar a un artista de talento, de temperamento ecléctico, esto es, capaz de incorporar a su pintura las novedades que otros introdujeron en el ámbito de la Escuela veneciana, pero dotándolas de un carácter netamente personal.

Obras destacadas
 Virgen entronizada con San Pedro y San Juan Bautista (1500-1507, antes en Colección Gamba, Florencia)
 Virgen con el Niño y ángel músico (1511, Santa Sofía de Lendinara)
 Retrato masculino (1512, Colección Grafton, Londres)
 Sacra conversación con donante (c. 1525, Museo del Louvre, París), obra a veces atribuida a Sebastiano del Piombo.

Army Modernization The Warfighting Rapid Acquisition Program Needs More Specific Guidance
GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON DC NATIONAL SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DIV
This report responds to your request that we evaluate the Annys implementation of the Warfighting Rapid Acquisition Program WRAP. You had expressed some concern about the programs performance and direction in its first 2 years. This report discusses the current status of the program. During congressional testimony in early 1996, the Army Chief of Staff requested funds from Congress to speed up the fielding of urgently needed new technologies to the soldier. The Chief of Staff stressed that Congress and the Army could accelerate the development of new technologies by making funds available more quickly than is normally required in the budget process for new programs. The Army proposed WRAP as a tool that would help jump-start technologies that were still under development but near mg the production phase. These new technologies were being tested in Army experiments designed to support a new warfighting concept called Force Xx. Force Xx embodies the Armys vision of how military operations will be carried out in the 21st century and relies heavily on the fielding in the year 2000 of the 4th Infantry Division, the Armys first digitized division. The Army selected technologies slated for WRAP funding from those tested in the Task Force XXI Advanced Warfighting Experiment AWE, completed in March 1997 and carried out to support the first digitized division. Congress added 50 million to the Armys fiscal year 1997 budget. The money eventually funded the first 11 WRAP initiatives. However, the House Committee on Appropriations, in its report on the fiscal year 1997 defense appropriations biff, expressed concern that WRAP funds might be used for limited fielding of unbudgeted items that had not competed for funds and would not be affordable in future budgets.

Lowering the cost of food and on-campus housing was another effort to attract students.
At all the campuses, costs of food and housing depend on the size and configuration of the room and the number of meals a student signs up for. But they all have a predominant plan for food and dorm living that is most commonly selected.
At MU the cost for the predominant plan drops from $9,826 a year to $9,653, a difference $173, Basi said.
At UMKC, the predominant plan is going up $294 a year, or 2.8 percent, from $10,334 to $10,628.
Rates at the University of Missouri Science and Technology in Rolla will go up $223, or 2.2 percent, from $9,987 to $10,210.
Rates at the University of Missouri-St. Louis will rise $200, or 2 percent, from $10,140 to $10,340.
The full board of curators is expected to finalize the increases at its meeting Feb. 7.
A Wentzville Middle School student was bullied and punched 19 times while in class, the kid's dad said when posting the video to Facebook. The Missouri district calls it disturbing. Police are investigating.


Business Protection is about having properly structured life assurance policies to deliver money into the right hands at the correct time.
Recent research has shown that almost 70% of Irish business had not arranged any form of Business Protection, to enable them or the company to afford to buy out the shares of colleagues who die where desirable.
In addition, many small to medium size businesses are heavily dependent on the skills, experiences and business contacts of a few key employees/directors, the death of these could have devastating effects on the business. Therefore, one may need to consider putting Key Person assurance in place, i.e. life assurance on the Key Person with the benefit payable to the company. Partners in a partnership are all personally responsible for all the debts of the business. If one partner goes bankrupt or fails to pay taxes and other debts on his/her share of the business, the other partners are liable for all the taxes etc involved.
Therefore, partners should consider effecting Partnership Assurance, which is Life assurance to ensure that, on death, sufficient money will become available to enable the surviving partners to buy the shares of the deceased partner. Partnership Assurance is usually arranged with all partners agreeing that, on death, the surviving partners will purchase the deceased's partners share of the business. Life assurance is arranged on each partner's life and should any partner die, the surviving partners will receive a lump sum that can be used to buy the deceased's partners share of the business.
Business Protection Plans is a highly technical area, it's critical to get Independent Financial and Taxation advice when setting up such a plan. As every business is different, therefore the policies need to be set up in the most effective and suitable way for the business.
Contact Declan Maher on 087 1444977 or at info@declanmaherfs.ie if you would like assistance putting an effective Business Protection plan in place.

Community activist and physician Amir Khadir has been elected in Montreal's Mercier riding, beating Parti Québécois incumbent Daniel Turp.
Québec Solidaire's Amir Khadir made history for the upstart political party. ((CBC))Community activist and physician Amir Khadir has been elected in the Montreal riding of Mercier, beating Parti Québécois incumbent Daniel Turp.
Khadir, a Québec Solidaire candidate, was declared the winner in Mercier shortly after 10 p.m. after a tight race with Turp, a lawyer and experienced politician.
The physician's victory is the first for the upstart sovereigntist party.
"We have to say it – this victory wasn't given to us," Khadir told a crowd of supporters gathered at the Medley, a nightclub in Montreal's Latin Quarter. "It gives us hope that another Quebec is possible."
QS enjoyed several high-profile endorsements in this campaign, including from Montreal constitutional lawyer Julius Grey; Claude Béland, former president of financial group Mouvement Desjardins; and singer Dan Bigras.
Turp, a law professor, was elected to Quebec's provincial legislature in 2003 after sitting as a Bloc Québécois MP from 1996 to 2000.
In 2007 Turp beat Khadir by 1,123 votes.


I love tomatoes and try to incorporate as many of these in my daily cooking in several forms like rice, soups, pasta sauces, juices, pickles or chutneys, etc. Recently I came across a cooling Carrot Tomato juice in Kaveri's blog -with whom I am paired with this BlogHop Wednesdays , an event by Radhika- and it was quick and easy. This was also perfect for the rising heat these days in Bangalore.
Blend together the carrot, tomato and ginger adding little water if needed to get a fine paste. Strain the paste and mix in honey,salt,pepper and lemon juice -as per taste.
Pour into glasses and serve garnished with mint sprigs.
Simple yet warm I must say about this cooler. I actually added more pepper and required salt to get a warm drink perfect for all seasons.
Its perfect, must have for all. The snap makes it even more tempting.
very warm, refreshing & healthy drink ~!
Simple, inviting and a perfect cooler.
Thats one really healthy juice.nice clicks too.
a healthy and wonderful colored drink :)! good choice!

Leaving your body is easy. Getting back is where the trouble starts.
It is 1963 in Farro, Iowa, where he not much happens — at least until the school bully goes missing and four seventh-graders find a book that allows them to literally have out-of-body experiences. Following the directions in the book Henry Nilsson, his twin sister Helen, and their friends, Chinese-American Nicki and part Nez Perce Alan, travel through the "subtle plane," where they are both invisible and invincible. They quickly discover that they are not the only ones with this amazing ability. In addition to the creepy man who keeps appearing out of nowhere, a violin-playing ghost and the missing school bully, there is a whole organization dedicated to policing the subtle plane. But it is up to Henry and his friends to thwart the evil schemes of a crazy genius and see if they can rescue Carl, Alan's troubled brother. This riveting science-fiction mystery is much more than an exciting read. The subtle world may be dangerous, but Henry and his friends find that the real world poses its own challenges. Together, they grapple with racism, poverty and alcoholism, all while nursing their first crushes and dealing with the angst of the upcoming fall formal. Arnston folds all of these elements into his narration without compromising pacing or characterization one bit.
Nominated for The Youth Booklist Editor's Choice Award 2011, a middle-grade adventure set in a near-future dystopia and told in the smart and playful style of The Mysterious Benedict Society, in which three friends unravel the mystery of their life-threatening migraines, overcome a frightening enemy, and discover that the world is more complicated, and more magical, than they've been taught.

Donald Trump is destroying democracy | Pulitzer Prize Winner Cynthia Tucker | Journalist. Professor. Progressive.
In the waning days of the 2016 presidential election, worried political prognosticators, including more than a few moderate Republicans, papered over their fears about the possible victory of Donald J. Trump with reminders of the constitutional balance of power. An independent judiciary and a strong-minded Congress would prevent a President Trump from doing serious harm to the republic, they said.
Even then, those assurances seemed weak. Now, as Trump — with the assistance of a Republican Congress — proceeds to rip apart the social fabric, blow up traditional democratic norms and overturn longstanding foreign policy practices, those assertions seem laughable. The Trump presidency is destroying the nation and threatening the globe.
Trump has put us on just such a path. He was elected with the enthusiastic support of the white working-class, voters who believe that they've been aced out of their fair share of the economic spoils by illegal immigrants and undeserving black folk. But those working-class voters will be even worse off by the time the Trump presidency ends. And they are likely to find convenient scapegoats to blame, just as the Germans did for their economic woes.
Take a look at the tax plan that the GOP is rushing through Congress. In an era when one of the nation's greatest problems is the wealth gap, these tax cuts will put income inequality on steroids. According to the Brookings Institution's nonpartisan tax experts, the House plan would confer 80 percent of its benefits — 80 percent! — on the richest one-percent of households. And the Senate's plan is little better.
Conservative cheerleaders keep repeating the myth that cutting taxes will lead to a stronger economy as companies put more people to work. Last month, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin told CNN that "we believe there will be $2.5 trillion of growth." But Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are more believable.
According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, the tax cuts will add one trillion dollars to the deficit over the next decade. And when that hole gets big enough, Republicans will start clamoring to cut Medicare and Social Security, the safety net programs which assure a comfortable old age for average Americans.
House Speaker Paul Ryan has already said so. On a radio talk show earlier this week, he said, "We're going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit." In other words, Ryan proposes paying for the massive tax cuts he is giving to the super-wealthy by robbing middle class Americans of benefits they rely on.
Economic malpractice is just part of the story of the Trump presidency. The 45th president is also eroding the rule of law. Now that some of Trump's closest former advisers are apparently cooperating with an investigation into possible campaign collusion with Russia, Trump's attorneys have stopped claiming the investigation is "fake news." Now, they are claiming that even if Robert Mueller finds evidence of collusion, Trump didn't break any laws.
That is, quite frankly, astounding. (The crime, by the way, would be treason, but that's for another column.) This democratic republic is based on the notion that no person — and no president — is above the law. Richard Nixon would blush at the way that Trump has subverted constitutional norms.
And Trump is doing all that without much resistance from that Congress that was supposed to restrain him. Pardon my pessimism, but this democratic republic is looking pretty fragile at the moment.


Mirrors on fairways can reduce the dangers that hills and other obstacles create. Blinds spots can be dangerous especially when other golfers are on the course ahead. Pole mounted mirrors can solve these problems. They can give the golfer a good view of what lies ahead and can help them aim their shots.
Whilst glass mirrors provide the best reflection they are by nature vulnerable to a direct strike from a golf ball and are not best suited to this application. We have developed a system whereby we mount acrylic mirror onto a UV stable background to overcome the safety and weight problems of glass.
Fairway mirrors are simple things that can make a round of golf a whole lot safer and in some cases help improve your game.
After these, make the conclusion which is also a restatement of all you have said in the body of https://justdomyhomework.com/ the work.

In ambito chirurgico, con colesterolosi della colecisti (o colesterolosi della cistifellea o, meno formalmente, cistifellea a fragola) si intende una modifica della parete della cistifellea causata da un eccesso di colesterolo.

Il termine "cistifellea a fragola" deriva dall'aspetto tipicamente puntinato della superficie della mucosa osservabile ad un esame macroscopico, ricordando così una fragola. La colesterolosi deriva da depositi anormali di esteri di colesterolo nei macrofagi all'interno della lamina propria (foam cells) e nell'epitelio della mucosa. La cistifellea può essere interessata da questi accumuli in una forma localizzata irregolare o in una forma diffusa. La forma diffusa appare macroscopicamente come una mucosa di colore rosso vivo con chiazze gialle (dovute ai lipidi), da qui il termine cistifellea a fragola. Tale condizione non è correlata alla colelitiasi (calcoli biliari) o alla colecistite (infiammazione della cistifellea).

The Weeknd says he's 'sober lite'
The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, admitted he still smokes weed and "occasionally" drinks, but he is otherwise clean.
By Nicholas Hautman | New York Post

He can feel his face again.
The Weeknd describes himself as "sober lite" after years of using hard drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms.
LALA KENT SLAMS DEMI LOVATO'S 'CALIFORNIA SOBER' APPROACH TO RECOVERY: 'YOU ARE NOT SOBER'
"I like sober lite," the "Save Your Tears" singer, 31, said in his September 2021 GQ cover story.
The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, admitted he still smokes weed and "occasionally" drinks, but he is otherwise clean.
"I'm not a heavy drinker, as much as I used to be. The romance of drinking isn't there," he said.
A LOOK AT BILL MURRAY'S CELEBRITY FEUDS: CHEVY CHASE, LUCY LIU AND BEYOND
Looking back, the entertainer realized that "drugs were a crutch" for him at his lowest point.
"It was me thinking that I needed it. And not doing the work to figure out how not to need it," he explained. "And I've spent the last few years realizing that and thanking God that I don't need it. Because for a lot of people, it's hard to shake it. But I knew I didn't want it."
The Weeknd, who previously dated model Bella Hadid, said he also decided to give up drugs because he "eventually" wants to start a family.
ANGELINA JOLIE AND THE WEEKND ATTEND SAME CONCERT AMID DATING RUMORS
"I know I say I don't, but I know I do. I want children," he told the magazine. "I like the trajectory of my career. But also I feel like having children would influence me and inspire me more."
Many of the "Blinding Lights" singer's songs are about drugs or were written while he was on drugs, most notably his 2011 track "High for This" and 2015 breakthrough "Can't Feel My Face."
The Weeknd previously opened up about how destructive vices helped him get creative in the recording studio.
"There were songs on my first record ['House of Balloons'] that were seven minutes long, rambling — whatever thoughts I was having when I was under the influence at the time," he told the Guardian in December 2016. "I can't see myself doing that now."
This story first appeared in the New York Post.


Fritole are Italian doughnuts, traditional to the Northern part of Italy. They are made in Venice during Carnivale and in other parts they are made for Christmas.
My Mum has always made them for New Years and I have always wanted to know how to make them.
We dug up a recipe that resembled something similar to how Mum makes it.
I haven't had a chance to make the Fritole yet, but I wanted to share the recipe with you all so you can give it a go.
In a mixing bowl mix the eggs and the sugar together, add the cinnamon and the lemon zest to this. Slowly add some of the flour and then add some of the milk. Do this in batches until you get the consistency of dense cream, you can add more or less of each. Add the raisins (and if using yeast let it rise for about 1 hour).
Note: Mum also added a few tablespoons of the canola oil into the batter once all the ingredients are combined. Supposedly it stops more oil than necessary absorbing into the doughnuts when frying.
Add a spoon full of the batter into the oil so they resemble small doughnuts (as in the picture above). When they are cooked, they should flip over by themselves and start cooking the other side. If this does not happen, you can flip them over yourself. Do this in batches and remove the Fritole out of the oil when they are golden brown.
Cool down on paper towels.
Add the icing sugar to the Fritole.
Oh, they look super but very decadent. Have a great week.
Oooh! This looks good. Although I do have a slight fear of deep frying.
You're very clever. They look so delicious.

AMA: Amandah Wood, Founder and Editor of Ways We Work
almost 4 years ago from Amandah Wood, Founder at Ways We Work
Hey friends!
I'm Amandah - Founder & Editor of Ways We Work - a digital publication focused around telling stories and first-hand accounts of how people do meaningful work.
The site originally started 2 years ago as a blog where I would do quick Q & A's with professionals in all different industries. Since then the interviews have evolved to be more in depth and feature professionals in creative and tech industries. Almost a year ago my good friend Matt Quinn joined the project as a partner. Together we started creating team features with some incredible teams like Facebook, Pivotal Labs and many others.
On March 18th the site is turning two and next week will also mark our 100th interview, which will be with Geoff Teehan, Design Director at Facebook. On Monday we'll be publishing a feature on the design team at Medium as well.
Currently I wear a lot of hats, Ways We Work has quickly become my full-time gig but it doesn't yet pay a full-time salary. Every week I'm doing interviews, editing, writing, promoting the pieces, contacting sponsors, and more recently working on the next iteration of the site. On top of that I do some freelance work so I can feed myself.
I've learned a lot, about a lot of things in the last two years and I'm happy to answer questions about anything! Throw them at me!
You'll need to log in before you can leave a comment.
New accounts can leave comments immediately, and gain full permissions after one week.
Matt Rae, almost 4 years ago
Amandah! What gets you up in the morning and excited for the day? What has been your favourite experience from running WWW?
Amandah Wood, almost 4 years ago (edited almost 4 years ago )
Thanks Matt!
This is a good question, because I am definitely not naturally a morning person. Wednesday's are the easiest because they're interview days and I'm always pumped up to share a new one. At the moment I feel really tuned in to what we're doing and I know that if I don't get up and get to work, everything will stop. That's the motivation for sure.
Favourite experience is the two trips we've been able to take to San Francisco. Both trips were jam packed, but the experience of travelling somewhere and meeting all these insanely talented people is awesome. Also almost everywhere we visit has heard of and read Ways We Work, which is always a mindblow. When you put so much time and effort into creating something, there's no better feeling than when people interact with it and connect to it.
Daniel Golden, almost 4 years ago
Hi, Amandah. Thanks for doing this AMA! What, do you find, is the most difficult part of running a site like Ways We Work? And which part of the process do you enjoy the most?
Amandah Wood, almost 4 years ago
Thanks for the question Daniel!
Most difficult: Probably one of the most difficult things is just learning as you go, and wondering if you're doing all the things you could/should be doing. Once an interview is done and edited and ready to go, then it's about making sure it gets seen and stands out online. Keeping that pipeline and flow can be challenging. I've had to kind of accept that not everything is going to be as perfect as it could be and prioritize what absolutely needs to happen.
Because it's an online site and community it can be easy to feel a bit disconnected sometimes too. Like you're interacting with numbers instead of people, which is something we're working to make better currently.
Best part: The interviews and the feedback. I've been able to interview some people I have so much respect and admiration for, and learn from them 1:1 through the interviews. Then we get to share that with readers. My favourite recent tweet from a reader was: "A night of reading @wayswework interviews has me kind of excited about going to work Monday." Stuff like that is the best.

How did you go about building your audience/community up to now and what are your plans for the future?
Early on our audience came largely from social media and the audience of the person we were interviewing. I was pretty new to the world of growing an audience for something like this so everything was just organic.
Last April, a fan of the site put us on Product Hunt, which was a huge point of growth. Our newsletter grew by 4x that day and continued growing steadily for weeks after.
Honestly, it's mostly been through the content. When you interview someone, their friends follow, when you feature a team, the team and their friends follow. And when you produce a really great piece, other outlets share it and it just kind of spreads.
Growing the audience is actually something I'd like to be more strategic about in the future, but we just focus on creating great content and that seems to resonate!
In the future, I'd like to see how we could create content around what we've learned. We've done almost 100 interviews now and I think there's some key learnings we could pull from those and publish on major outlets.

Hey Amandah! Love your site!!
What has surprised you most in the process of creating and working on Ways We Work?
Thanks Katie!! :)
Probably the most surprising has been the response. When the idea for Ways We Work first came about it came from a personal place of feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to be most successful in my day-to-day work and career.
From talking to people in interviews and people that read the site, there's this constant resonating "oh, me too". I thought I would start the site and immediate learn all the exact right ways to do things, instead I learned that no one really has it figured out and everyone is learning as they go.
And then on top of that, just how much is involved in doing a site like this! I have a new found respect for people running online publications.

Hey Amandah, thanks for joining us!
You probably get this question a lot -- Being that WWW is a "full-time gig but it doesn't yet pay a full-time salary", how do you go about the work/life balance?
Do you have a personal preference: interviews vs stories or are they both interesting/intriguing in their own right?...add to that, do you have a personal favorite? :)
How are the photographers, editors, etc chosen for each project? (anyone beyond you or Matt)... and if applicable, how might one get involved?
The Patreon support is a genius idea for many reasons, do you see WWW growing financially more so in this realm as compared to traditional sponsorships?
PS, Happy (early) Birthday to WWW!
Thanks for having me Max!
I still don't consider myself very good at this. Currently, my strategy is just to work as often and frequently as possible. So a lot of evenings and weekends. I also try to find freelance projects that won't take me a ton of time but will provide a reasonable amount of income. My partner and I also run an Airbnb in the basement suite of our home which helps a lot!
I love the 1:1 aspect of interviews but team features are so fun because of the in-person interaction. We get to hang out with a team for a few hours, Matt takes a ton of amazing photos and we get to do interviews with people as part of those, so it's almost like the best of both. Interviews are definitely easier in terms of producing them frequently so they're both very different! I don't think I could exclusively choose one over the other haha. My favourite interview or feature always ends up being the most recent one because I feel they get better everytime. But my current favourite interview would have to be the one with Cap Watkins at BuzzFeed. He was super honest!
If you mean the editors and photographers to create the pieces - it's just Matt and I! For team features, Matt does all the photography, and I usually do the editing and writing but Matt pitches in on that as well when he can! Because we don't have a budget to pay anyone yet, we do everything ourselves BUT if someone is interested in volunteering to help out with that sort of stuff, I definitely think we're going to need it in the very near future. I'm amandah@wayswework.io if anyone is interested!
Funny you ask about this actually! As part of our two year celebrations we're sending notebooks to every one of our Patreons, and letting them know that we'll be stopping our Patreon in the next few weeks. There are a few really awesome things in the works in terms of a business model, and we feel Patreon isn't really the right route going forward.

With a growing viewer/user base could you start monetizing or raise funding for growth/future revenues?
Thanks Austen! We do actually have some big things in the works for monetizing the site, I can't quite talk about them yet, but they're coming!
We're not currently interested in raising any money, because both Matt and I lean more towards bootstrapping and iterating and doing things the best way we possibly can.

Posted 7 hours ago, may be too late -
Amandah, what advice in your 2 years with WWW would you give to an up and coming journalist wishing to publish a site like yours? Thanks for joining us here at DN!
Thanks for the question Drew! My best advice is to just get started. Ways We Work could not look more different now than it did when I first started it two years ago, but it wouldn't be where it is if I didn't just bite the bullet and get it going.
Also, good design matters. Invest the time in making the site easy to use, and easy to read on. When I did the first redesign of Ways We Work in the first year, the traffic doubled, and that was the only thing I changed. But of course, I don't have to tell this audience that design matters ;)

After graduation from Virginia Institute of Technology in 1982 as Civil Engineer, I returned home to work with the Bahrain Defense Force, Engineering section as Engineer with the rank of 1st Lieutenant. I was with another officer the only engineers in the section which was newly formed.
I established the full procedures and standard contracts for the sections. There after I was appointed as a "Construction Manager" for a new project for a period of 2 1/2 years.
In 1983 I felt that I have too much free time and decided to start my own business while still working for the Government (working time in the Government is 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) mainly to spend my afternoon time more constructively. I opened a "Commission Agent Office" with a capital of BD 1,450/- ($3800.00) and started communicating with companies around the world to get agencies or representation. I was all alone working as an engineer in the morning and manager of my own business in the afternoon.
For about six months a thorough study of the Bahrain market was done by me to find what is the market like and what is the missing specialty. I found that specialties chemicals are not available and all companies requiring such chemicals were importing themselves. This was the gap I found in the market and it was the chance that opened all doors and set the goal for the coming future.
In the beginning of 1984 I was appointed as a Distributor for Dutch Company manufacturing marine chemicals. The company provided me with stocks on guarantee basis. Of course this was my first encounter with Banks on commercial level to obtain a guarantee of payments so that I can establish the required documents for the first company I deal with. I used my monthly salary from the Government as collateral to obtain the Guarantee. The stock was supposed to last for one year; however, I managed to sell the stock in two months and was paid for it within the same period. This established my good relation with the bank for future requirements and also made me in strong position with the Dutch Company to ask for the exclusive agency. Thereafter the Company appointed me as the exclusive agent for Bahrain and this was the start of "Mashal International ".
I had to find one salesman to do the selling while I do the marketing, accounting and administration including deliveries. This step also was new for me. I had to employee the best so I had to interview, evaluate and choose. I had to know how this should be done and need to go through many books and manuals to establish the employment application, employment interview form, position descriptions and a complete personnel department services manual. In addition, I had to establish the pay rate schedule and employees benefits programs.
At the end of the first year, a statement of account had to be completed to submit to the bank. The turnover was BD (27000) ($71000) with only myself and 1 employee working, an office of 12M2 and all the rest of the requirements on rental basis.
On July 1986 I felt that my job with the Government is taking too much of my own business time so I requested for release from duty which was granted in 1987, were then I concentrated in my own business full time.
Since no business can progress without good staff Mashal International realizes that good qualified staff is the only real advantage a Company has over another competitor and therefore I employ very qualified personnel in Finance, Accounting, marketing, Administration and sales were all of them are very highly educated, loyal professionals.
MASHAL INTERNATIONAL WLL, now has four companies under it's umbrella and represents 9 agency in Bahrain, four sister companies in the gulf and 18 representatives offices in the middle east and Africa are employing 123 employees and labours all around and having turn over about BD 2.5M.
I am the Chairman and Managing Director since the start. The company now is structured on profit centre basis with each company having its own budget and General Manager reporting directly to the Managing Director. I run the companies on daily basis having meeting and discussion with all the General Managers helping and advising all.
The complete company finance is controlled by myself and has a highly qualified Corporate Financial Controller and Finance Managers feeding me with all the required information and advice.
The Company is fully computerized and has a very effective MIS Department feeding all management's with the information and reports required for their business planning.
1984 was the start and now after more than twenty years MASHAL INTERNATIONAL is a group of companies dealing in chemicals trading through "CHEMICAL MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION CO"., manufacturing of Chemicals and Detergents through "MASHAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO"., Distribution network and the exporting arm of the Group through "Mashal Detergent Center"., and Industrial and Chemical Cleaning contracting through "CLEAR INDUSTRIES (M.E.) CO".
Manufacturing & exporting of Bahraini made chemicals & detergents.
1984 was the start of a dream that had grown with the years, how could we stop depending on imports of chemical from outside? Why can't we manufacture what is required locally?
1994 was the start of realization of that dream. MASHAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRY, a manufacturing company owned by MASHAL INTERNATIONAL specializing in manufacturing chemicals and detergents to the Industry and Domestic sectors. Providing chemicals and detergents to local users and reducing the dependency on imports.
The company supply chemicals and preventive maintenance chemicals to Bahrain market, the GCC and Middle East markets. Export market has been growing steadily and it has reached to a level representing 80% of total production. Client that had been serviced are recommending the quality to others in which the products are being promoted by their quality which had proved that Bahrainis can produce quality and competitive products to stand side by side with multi nationals.
"MASHAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRY", is registered as a Pioneer Industry since it is the first chemicals & detergents plant that manufacture chemicals and detergents using the raw materials and not blended materials. This also made it possible to formulate local formulations made especially for Bahrain users and gave the ability to export Intermediates to other detergents blenders in the GCC who blends detergents for their own areas.
The availability of the plant in Bahrain had helped all other importers of detergents to reduce their dependency on imported materials in which it helped their stock level and reduced their financing of stocks for longer periods.
Building Assembling and exporting of Bahrain made machines and technology.
1991 and after the liberation of Kuwait, the environmental issues became a major story in every day news. Mashal International, being a major chemical supplier and exporter to all GCC had a major burden on this issue, since all chemicals supplied to Industries represent a high environmental risk especially in the main Industries of the Gulf. The oil Industry. Working in chemical cleaning has exposed the company to so much of chemical & environmental waste that was just dumped without any treatment of thoughts of the future general. However, after the liberation of Kuwait and the Media programs about oil waste and contamination water and sand it opened the eyes of both the oil companies and waster treatment Engineers. Environment Engineer flying over and reporting not only on Kuwait war waste but on the other Gulf Countries waste had made many Engineers and interested companies to look to the GCC area.
The thought now if we don't take care of it, somebody else will and it has changed the business mind, it's financially feasible now. Client will actually have to pay for removal of their waste.
With another British Engineer, we started to design a system to reduce environmental waste in the Oil Industry mainly in the most hazardous materials in the Oil business, the Oil sludge.
Within few months a design was ready and a joint venture company with Clear Industry U.S.A. as financing partner was established in the name of "CLEAR INDUSTRIES Middle East W.L.L.
Within three months, "Clear Industries Middle East" in their base in Bahrain and using Bahraini hands and technology, the Clear Tank Cleaning master kit was built. Within one year Clear Industries became registered in all GCC countries as a Bahrain Contractor and supplier of Tank Cleaning equipment's, built and sold to all GCC Countries in addition to actually doing the cleaning and recycling of waste oil and sludge.
The equipment's are built in Bahrain using Bahrain Engineers and labour and sold to other countries. The contracting work exporting local technology and local labours and Engineer.
CLEAR INDUSTRIES (M.E.) W.L.L. is now a force recognized all over the Gulf States, Egypt, Nigeria and Jordan with the Bahrain Flag on every equipment it owns anywhere it works.
The past years had furnished me with a vast experience in business. Things that I am interested in very much and had made as a hobby not just a work for income. I think most of the success in the business is due to the liking of what I am doing.
Interaction with other businessman and employees who make it happen, not just wishing it would happen had exposed me to information that helped me in running and expanding the business to the level it is now.
Interaction with the Society we live in by making the business and society as a team with the ability to work together, toward a common vision, the ability to direct each accomplishment toward common objectives.
However, the ambition of a man shall never stop at any level and yesterday is but a dream tomorrow is a vision and what was done doesn't equate to a drop in the ocean of my dreams.
Lastly, the difference between a successful person and others is not a lake of strength, not a lake of knowledge, not a lake of money but rather a lake of will.


LOS ANGELES— Fort Irwin officials on Thursday suspended their disastrous desert tortoise translocation program, in response to a lawsuit brought by the Center for Biological Diversity and Desert Survivors. The flawed translocation project, undertaken to remove tortoises from an area where the fort intends to expand its training areas, has so far sustained huge losses. More than 90 relocated and resident tortoises have perished, primarily killed by predators, and more losses are expected due to healthy tortoises being introduced into diseased populations — against the recommendations of epidemiologists.
The first phase of the translocation was begun in March 2008, when about 770 tortoises were moved from Fort Irwin to areas south of the installation that already had desert tortoise populations. Almost immediately, coyotes began killing both relocated and resident desert tortoises.
The translocation effort and other threats are pushing the tortoise closer to extinction. In 2001 Congress authorized Fort Irwin to expand into some of the best desert tortoise habitat remaining in the western Mojave desert. As partial mitigation, the Army agreed to move a majority of the tortoises from the expansion area into other public lands it had purchased south of the post. But the new lands provide much lower-quality habitat, and have pockets of diseased tortoises and coyotes that are starving from lack of prey due to drought. Desert tortoise translocation has never been attempted on such a large scale as the Fort Irwin project. Even "successful" small-scale projects have had a more than 20 percent mortality rate.
Having survived tens of thousands of years in California's deserts, desert tortoise numbers have declined precipitously in recent years. The crash of populations is due to numerous factors, including disease, crushing by vehicles, military and suburban development, habitat degradation, and predation by dogs and ravens. Because of its dwindling numbers, the desert tortoise — California's official state reptile — is now protected under both federal and California endangered species acts.
Population genetics studies recently have identified that the desert tortoise in the western Mojave desert, including the Fort Irwin tortoises, is distinctly different from its relatives to the north, east and south. This finding sheds new light on why increased conservation and translocation success is more important than ever for the Fort Irwin effort.
The Center for Biological Diversity is a national nonprofit conservation organization with more than 180,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.


Successful marketing generates new sales. Some businesses understand this better than others — if you're reading this, you're likely familiar with the strong correlation. Driving sales should be a top priority for any business. Creating loyal brand customers is key for small business owners who seek to expand their reach but continue to cater to the customers they already have. If this sounds like something you agree with, don't skim this article because every section is worth a thorough read. Are you seeking actionable ways to drive more sales? Let's get started with 5 easy steps.
Email marketing is more powerful than it has ever been. It's no surprise since many workers continue to use email as a primary form of communication. Plus, who doesn't enjoy a quick break from work quite literally right at their fingertips?
When a new customer signs up for your newsletter, be sure to send them a welcome email detailing what your company has to offer. If you have a product to sell, link to testimonials or ways in which people have engaged with your product. If you are selling a service, this email can include a short, introductory video about your services or an outline of how your service improves lives. In every case, make sure to include links to social media and actionable steps the reader can take to stay up to date with your company, but most importantly to discover how your company can help him/her.
This is another great opportunity to keep subscribers updated on discount offers, product tips, limited sales and company milestones, and to remind them of your services.
Give your customers something to talk about. A recent study conducted by Bazaar Voice showed that increased review volume leads to higher conversion rates. This means there is a direct link between a number of reviews a page has and their sales number. The report found that on average, product page visitors who interact with customer reviews convert at a 58% higher rate compared to those who do not. Sound accurate? How many times have you abstained from purchasing a product that has no reviews? How many times do you opt for the service that has better customer testimonials?
Compiling reviews need not be a complicated task. If a company presents a review option to its customers in a simple way, customers are more likely to engage. A great way to do this is asking the customer to fill out a quick email survey on the day they have received their item or after they have paid for your service. Ideally, the buyer would not have to click on additional links or write a review on the website. The most effective way to get reviews is to make it simple and easy for the reviewer.
On the same note, providing positive client testimonials for new clients will always be beneficial, and sometimes necessary, for a small business service to thrive. Old school methods are never obsolete and customer testimonials, as well as reviews, are great ways of integrating old-school word-of-mouth to today's digitally-charged world.
Learn here how to use customers reviews to boost your sales.
Although garnering new business and the prospect of increasing sales is exciting, keeping current customers around is just as important. Maintaining a strong relationship with your current customer base will grant them more trust in your company or service, and create brand loyalty. Below are three simple steps to do this.
Ask how your product or service influenced their lives and how you can help them lead better lives.
Offer returning customers a gift or other incentive as a surprise. Because it came unexpectedly, they are more likely to be more appreciative.
Customer rewards programs are beneficial when they offer incentivized added perks to loyal customers and make the customer aware that their business is appreciated.
If you constantly ask yourself why you have to keep updating your social media platforms several times a day… Here's why: In 2017, Instagram announced 700 million users in its platform, ranking on the top 5 list of most-used social media platforms. This means mostly everyone uses Instagram daily. Furthermore, a recent Hootsuite study showed that 75% of IG users take action, such as visiting the website, after reading a post. An average of 85% of all orders from social media come from Facebook, according to a study conducted by Shopify. Next time you ask yourself "is my focus on social media worth all the work?" don't hesitate to read the facts — which in this case is, when it comes to sales, social media is a dominating marketing avenue.
Companies have capitalized specifically on Facebook and Instagram, using both as tools that promote user engagement and generate capital. Here are a few creative options to get your business on the radar.
Who doesn't love a free massage, meal, IT consultation, or any other service valuable service? Partnership giveaways are a strategic way to attract new followers and give your business more exposure. Let's use the following case study as an example. Companies A and B are partnering to offer two different services or products for free in exchange for new follows. If company A has more followers than company B, whoever engages with the giveaway at company A will automatically have to follow company B to be entered to win. It's a win-win situation where the customer receives more added-value and both companies expand their reach.
What are you selling? If you'd like to sell your services, make short Instagram videos of you offering your expertise or advice. If you're selling clothing, update your social media accounts daily with new content featuring ways to wear your designs.
Remember that time you visited a gym and a guide offered you a tour of all its amenities, classes and special perks? Then, at the end of your walk-through, there was a miraculous one-day membership discount that coincidentally happened to be expiring within the next hour. Well, this isn't quite the same case, but a similar idea. After devising what your customer's needs are, it's important that they feel a sense of urgency in buying your product or service. The benefit should always be for the customer, therefore the sense of urgency is instilled not so much for the sake of your company's sales, but for the added value that it will add to their lives.
An important detail to keep in mind is: how will your product or service benefit the customer right away? Some of the most effective ways to create a sense of urgency range from offering a limited quantity of your product or service to offering a limited-time price discount.

Le papillon (La mariposa) es un ballet fantástico, en dos actos (cuatro escenas) de 1860, con coreografía de Marie Taglioni y música de Jacques Offenbach, con libreto de Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges.

Historia
Le papillon fue presentado por primera vez por el Ballet de la Ópera de París en la Salle Le Peletier, el 26 de noviembre de 1860, después de una actuación de Lucía de Lammermoor. Los bailarines principales fueron Emma Livry (Farfalla / la mariposa), Louis Mérante (Príncipe Djalma), Louise Marquet (Hada Hamza) y Mme. Simon (Hada de los diamantes). El estreno y la segunda función contaron con la presencia de Napoléon III.

La Valse des rayons de la segunda escena del acto 1, fue reutilizada por Offenbach en el tercer acto de Die Rheinnixen (1864),  y partes de la partitura se insertaron en la versión francesa de Whittington, Le Chat du diable (1893). El solo de Le docteur Miracle, "Eh! Oui, je vous entretiene!, de Los cuentos de Hoffmann se transformó en una Bohémiana en Le papillon. El Valse des rayons también se convirtió en una Danza Apache en el Moulin Rouge de París, y se utilizó en el musical Show Boat en 1927 como parte de la escena del Trocadero.

Marius Petipa creó una puesta en escena ampliada en cuatro actos para el Ballet Imperial con Ludwig Minkus adaptando la partitura de Offenbach. Se presentó por primera vez en enero de 1874 en el Teatro Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny de San Petersburgo con Ekaterina Vazem (Farfalla / la Mariposa), Lev Ivanov (Príncipe Djalma), Pável Gerdt (Patimate), Mathilda Madaeva (Fairy Hamza) y Lubov Radina (Hada de los diamantes). Petipa agregó una variación para Ekaterina Vazem al Grand pas des papillons,de Luigi Venzano; esta variación se conoció como el Pas Vazem y fue muy celebrada entre los balletómanos de San Petersburgo.

Pierre Lacotte inicio en 1977 en París, la reconstrucción de una parte de este ballet, el pas de deux del segundo acto (con la colaboración de Dominique Khalfouni), basado en relatos críticos contemporáneos. Y terminó de reconstruir el ballet completo en 1982 y fue bailado en la Ópera de Roma.

La partitura se utilizó para un ballet titulado Utopía dirigido por Elsa-Marianne von Rosen para la compañía de ballet de Gotemburgo en 1974. Habiendo decidido no hacer su propia versión del ballet completo, Frederick Ashton seleccionó piezas de la partitura para un pas de deux titulado Scène dansante, interpretado por primera vez por Merle Park y David Wall en Aldeburgh en 1975 y luego en una gala benéfica en el Adelphi Theatre Londres en 1977.

Ronald Hynd preparó una producción para el Ballet de Houston con su propio escenario adaptado y la partitura reorquestada por John Lanchbery, que se estrenó el 8 de febrero de 1979 y también fue bailada por una compañía de Johannesburgo (Performing Arts Council of the Transvaal). Entró en el repertorio del Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet el 7 de febrero de 1980. Descrito como el tributo de Hynd a Emma Livry, la trama se redujo y se reinició en Persia con muchas de las transformaciones y situaciones cómicas conservadas. Pero, en comparación con el material original de 1860, la partitura fue alterada en gran medida por Lanchberry, quien integró su propia composición dentro del corpus musical principal, cambió el orden de los números y eliminó gran parte de la partitura original de Offenbach.

Sinopsis

El ballet está ambientado en Circasia. Después del Preludio, el primer cuadro del acto 1 comienza con la vieja y malvada hada Hamza tratando a su sirviente con rudeza. Hamza una vez secuestró a Farfalla, la hija del emir, que ahora es su sirvienta. Al mirarse en el espejo, Hamza solo desea volver a ser joven y ser elegible para casarse, pero para ello debe ser besada por un joven príncipe.

Descansando de una cacería, entran el príncipe Djalma y su séquito. Todos disfrutan de la comida y el vino, aunque el tutor cree que Farfalla es la princesa que alguna vez fue secuestrada. El príncipe baila una mazurca con ella y le agradece con un beso. La borracha Hamza es molestada por los demás y se enfurece, atrae a Farfalla a una caja y, usando su muleta mágica, cuando la caja se abre de nuevo, emerge una hermosa mariposa. Las mariposas revolotean en la habitación desde puertas, ventanas e incluso la chimenea antes de ser perseguidas por Hamza.

Después de que el príncipe y su séquito han abandonado el castillo de Hamza, llegan a un claro del bosque, donde pronto entran las mariposas. Cuando el príncipe clava una de las mariposas a un árbol, de repente se convierte en una joven llorando. Cae al suelo inconsciente y, al inspeccionarla, parece ser la chica de la casa de Hamza que bailó con él. Pero se recupera y se reincorpora a los demás.

Hamza llega ahora al claro con su jardinero. Con su muleta mágica localiza a su doncella entre las mariposas y trata de atraparla con una red. Pero dejando su varita mágica desatendida por un momento, su jardinero Patimate intenta ayudar a Farfalla. Toca a su ama con la varita y ella queda congelada en el lugar y las mariposas se apresuran a capturar a Hamza en la red. Mientras tanto, Patimate le cuenta a Djalma sobre la verdadera identidad de Farfalla. Sin embargo, se olvida de tomar la varita mágica y un duende se la lleva. El príncipe se lleva al hada al palacio de su tío.

El acto 2 se abre en el palacio del emir Ismaël, donde llegan los felices Djalma y Farfalla en un carruaje dorado. Resulta que Farfalla es de hecho su hija y puede casarse con su sobrino Djalma. Sin embargo, cuando el príncipe intenta abrazar a su amor, Farfalla le recuerda que no mucho antes quería empalar una mariposa en un árbol. Djalma vuelve a intentar besarla, pero Hamza, acechando cerca, se lanza entre ellos y obtiene el beso destinado a Farfalla. El hechizo funciona para Hamza y se convierte en una hermosa joven. El príncipe Djalma se confunde al ver a las dos hermosas mujeres. Corteja al hada rejuvenecida, con la esperanza de que Farfalla se arroje a sus brazos, pero Hamza se enfurece y envía al príncipe a un profundo sueño, mientras que Farfalla se convierte de nuevo en una mariposa. El palacio del Emir se transforma en un parque.

El último cuadro, en jardines grandiosos, tiene a Djalma despertando, y se encuentra rodeado por un enjambre de mariposas, incluida su amada Farfalla. Hamza entra con sus cuatro hermanas alardeando de sus hazañas y soñando en secreto con casarse con el príncipe. Como ensayo para tal evento, convoca una banda de arpas doradas y un portador de antorchas. Farfalla se siente atraída por el resplandor de la antorcha, pero al tocar la lámpara quema sus alas y el encanto se desvanece, recupera su forma humana y se derrumba en los brazos del príncipe. Las hermanas de Hamza luego rompen la muleta mágica y juntas transforman a Hamza en una estatua. La boda con Djalma ya no tiene más obstáculos y la joven pareja puede casarse en el palacio de las hadas que aparece en los jardines.
