Etko Centurion 1991 Vintage on the left and KEO St. John on the right.
Cyprus is known on the international wine scene for Commandaria, the fortified sweet wine that is associated with the 13th Century history of the Island and the Knights of St. John.
A little adventure seemed in order to become acquainted with this historic wine. Early one evening as the setting sun was painting a wintery crimson sky, we headed off into the hills above Paphos to the bar at the Minthis Hills Golf Club to conduct our own Commandaria tasting.
An earlier reconnoitre had identified that Minthis Hills offers two Commandarias on their wine list: KEO St. John and Etko Centurion Vintage 1991 and these two seemed suitable candidates to help us increase our knowledge of this fortified wine.
Notebook and pen in hand, we tasted the two wines individually and then made a comparison, looking at the key tasting areas of appearance, nose and palate. Both wines are clear in colour with different shades of chestnut brown; the vintage wine being darker and having a tinge of red in the brown. On the nose, the St John was clean with pronounced intensity and aromas of burnt raisins, nuts with a touch of caramel and hint of tartness. The Centurion was also clean on the nose with more pronounced aromas of nuts, figs, warmth and oak. On the palate, they were both sweet with medium acidity and medium intensity. While clearly a fortified wine with alcohol levels at 15% each, neither was syrupy nor overly sweet or overpowering. The flavours of sultanas and figs came through and the Centurion, with the advantage of 22 years of ageing, also brought forth buttery, caramel oak flavours with a pronounced spiceness, with pepper and a touch of coffee. Both wines are very pleasant and given their high alcohol levels, we assessed them as more accessible than, say, an equivalent 15% Syrah. The Centurion Vintage 1991 delivered extra smoothness and flavour and came with a commensurate higher price.
Both wines are made with indigenous grape varieties. The KEO St. John is made with Xynisteri, a white grape, and the Etko Centurion is made with Mavro, a black grape.
Sitting in the comfort and warmth of the candlelit bar and relaxing as we tasted these wines, the conversation turned to history. The Commandaria wine traces its roots back to the Knights of St John, one of the monastic Hospitalier Orders which undertook both religious duties and the protection and care of travellers. When the Hospitaliers arrived in Cyprus after leaving Jerusalem in late 13th Century, a king of Cyprus conferred on them the right to acquire land and they developed their Commanderies. Over time, the wine they developed on their land around Limassol was called Commandaria. As a fortified wine, Commandaria travelled well and was exported throughout Europe. It was popular in England, for example, not only in the 13th century but later and was a favourite of the Tudor Kings including King Henry V111.
Commandaria is made only in a defined region of 14 wine producing villages in the Troodos foothills about 20 miles north of Limassol. The wine production for Commandaria has remained true to traditional methods. The production is small and it maintains its ranking among the world's classic wines. In 1993, the European Union registered Commandaria as a protected name and geographic origin.
Commandaria is regarded as an eastern mediterranean equivalent of its western mediterranean cousins, Port and Sherry. We found it had both similar and different characteristics and was more refreshing and lighter with higher acidity. Its high alcohol levels are due to naturally high levels of sugar from the sun dried grapes and the fortification process of adding pure grape spirit. Some Commandarias are made using the solera method of blending wine batches from different years as is used in the production of Sherry in Jerez. There are occasionally single vintage cuvees produced in exceptional years and the Centurion Vintage 1991 is an example.
Sweet wines have largely declined in popularity over the years which is sad as their complexity and full flavours have a lot to offer. Our conclusion: it would be very easy to enjoy drinking a glass of Commandaria with a Creme Brûlée, Tiramisu, a coffee semifreddo or to accompany a coffee after a meal, or to take a leaf from late harvest wines, to enjoy with blue cheese.
This historic wine can now be bought on line through Amazon; what better example of the Ancient World meeting the 21st Century!

What's local in our mixed up, globalised world?
I belong to what's arguably the biggest club in the world, whose members number not in millions but billions. Everywhere I go, I meet fellow members and, sooner or later, conversation drifts to our shared membership in – parenthood.
Last weekend, I was absorbing the sights, sounds and smells of the Laguna province in the Philippines in the exalted company of academic colleagues from the College of Development Communications, University of Philippines Los Banos. At one point, we walked past some old houses designed in Spanish style – a reminder of the country's strong Spanish legacy.
I heard how the Filipino language has absorbed or adapted hundreds of Spanish words, so much so that the younger generations don't realise the Spanish origins of many words they use everyday.
One colleague related a story. Her daughter (now 16) had been a fan of 'Madeline' – an animated series based on the popular children's books by Ludwig Bemelmans, an American author of Austrian and German origins. Read more about Madeline animated TV series.
Happy coincidence: my daughter Dhara (still 11) and I are fans too of the smart and adventurous little French girl who lives with 11 other kids Miss Clavelle's boarding school in Paris. Although the smallest girl, Madeline nevertheless manages to get herself into one predicament after another, giving her friends and teachers much to worry about. In the end, though, she always comes out all right.
Madeline is a good friend of the Spanish Ambassador's son, Pepito. The young boy occasionally slips in a few Spanish words or phrases. This happened in one episode when Pepito was talking about sombreros.
It's a small reminder of how delightfully mixed up our cultures are – and not just in language. Many of our metaphors, references and other expressions have been borrowed and adapted from other cultures and traditions in far corners of the planet. After a generation or two, few remember the origins.
It's becoming impossible to discern or define what is 'local' anymore in this rapidly globalising and integrating world. Sociologists and communication researchers who split hairs about preserving 'local content' have a romanticised notion that is hard to find in the real world.
'Content creation' describes something that we journalists, as well as film-makers, writers and creative artistes have been doing for centuries. For much of that period, content was entirely local. It was only in recent decades that information and communications technologies (ICTs) enabled content to be swapped around the world at the speed of light.
And some ICT activists feel the need to make content more local again. No doubt an ideal. But I keep asking them: just what is local anymore in our rapidly integrating and hopelessly mixed up world?
Does it really matter anyway, except to the cultural purists who live in ivory towers?
Dewitt Wallace, the American founder of the Reader's Digest magazine, was fond of pointing out how much his publication had become a part of the everyday lives of millions of people worldwide. One of his favourite anecdotes was about two children born and raised on a Caribbean island.
On their first visit to the United States, the kids were walking on the streets of New York, in the magazine's home state of New York (Reader's Digest is owned and published by The Reader's Digest Association, a privately held company based in Chappaqua, New York, but the mailing address is actually Pleasantville, New York). On seeing the magazine on sale at newsstands, one of them exclaimed: "Look dad, they have the Reader's Digest here too!".
I personally think we should focus more on content that is locally relevant and locally useful. If it is also locally generated, that's well and good — but does the point of origin matter too much in this knowledge society, when we are swapping electrons and ideas across political boundaries?

News, Reviews and Features Diary of a theatre addict: from a pool in Gran Canaria, a sense of perspective, at last
Diary of a theatre addict: from a pool in Gran Canaria, a sense of perspective, at last
In Features, London theatre, Musicals, Opinion, Plays, Reviews by Mark Shenton 24th October 2015 Leave a Comment
I am writing this sitting beside a pool, in glorious sunshine, at a private hotel across the street from a beach in Gran Canaria. This is the sort of holiday my husband and I always give ourselves at least once a year — a place with no theatre at all. Not that you can't find bits of it: last night, for instance, we went to the really awful Yumbo Centre, a giant outdoor shopping centre where most of the gay nightlife is centred, and found a little piece of theatrical heaven in the Centrestage bar, where they play video extracts from film and stage musicals all night long.
So of course there was Gene Kelly dancing up a storm, so to speak, in Singin' in the Rain, and Deborah Kerr getting to know the Thai kids she's looking after in The King and I. And Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady, Rita Moreno performing 'America' in West Side Story, and even one or two clips I couldn't begin to identify.
But I also loved re-visiting some stage classics via archive footage I'd not seen for a while: Liz Robertson performing a song from My Fair Lady, Jonathan Pryce doing 'American Dream' from Miss Saigon, a (very young) Teddy Kempner and Ellen Greene in the London production of Little Shop of Horrors. I'd seen all of these shows, of course, the first time they came around; it was a special, if slightly incongruous, treat to be re-visiting them in a bar in an otherwise entirely characterless brick shopping centre.
But I've not come to Gran Canaria for the showtunes but for the sun and relaxation, and I'm getting that — even if I'm spending some of the time doing things like writing this! And suddenly it puts the theatrical addiction that this diary chronicles every week into some kind of perspective; there is more to life than the theatre!
Having said that, I had a bit of a theatrical immersion before I went, and in the time since I was last here a week ago last Wednesday, I'd been to New York, England, Wales and Scotland in a seven day period. Last week, meanwhile, I found myself wearing my teaching hat three times over, with my regular musical theatre class at ArtsEd class on Monday, a day with the Musical Theatre students at Mountview on Tuesday and seeing the dress rehearsal of ENO's La Boheme with a group of A level students attending thanks to the Mousetrap Foundation on Wednesday evening, before the next Tuesday co-leading (with opera and classical critic Alexandra Coghlan) a day's workshop on critical writing with them.
Teaching is a richly enjoyable part of what I do now; I love sharing my enthusiasm for what I do and passing the torch, in whatever way I can. It's also part of what informs my own critical writing, which I always hope is driven by passion, though not, I hope, indiscriminate cheer-leading.
So it is that, over the last week, I wasn't able to cheer quite as loudly as I'd have liked to at Nikolai Foster's new production of A Streetcar Named Desire at Leicester's Curve Studio (my review for The Stage is here), even though I love the play, like the director personally and and know its leading man Stewart Clarke, pictured left, a bit. (I was sitting three seats away from his mum Julia Hills, another actor I know and love). This is where I can only be honest, or else my praise would be an empty gesture. (And lead readers to distrust what I say, too).
On the other hand, I cheered just as loudly as I've done on each of the previous four times I've seen Close to You, as What's It All About? has now been renamed, on its transfer to the West End's Criterion (my review for The Stage is here). This brilliant Burt Bacharach tribute and mash-up saw the great man in attendance himself on the first night, and — in a post-show masterstroke — bringing Piccadilly Circus itself to a standstill as he accompanied the cast in their post-show encore of 'Raindrops keep Falling On My Head' near Eros outside the theatre. (He watched the show that preceded it, sitting along from Tom Jones, from the front row of the dress circle — not as my Times colleague Ann Treneman erroneously suggested in her review, the front row of the Upper Circle. Perhaps she has not been going to the theatre long enough yet to know the difference).
I also spent a full day with the theatrical patron saint of depression Chekhov last Saturday when Chichester presented a trilogy day of his first three plays — Platonov, Ivanov and The Seagull (which I reviewed here) — in which all of the principal characters suffer from forms of depression. Both the night before and two nights later I was also in the world of depression: last Friday I caught after Fake it till You Make It at last, an extraordinary show about a couple and their different perspectives of dealing with the long-term depression of the male party that had been a big hit at Edinburgh this year; and on Monday, I finally caught up, too, with Farinelli and the King, Claire van Kampen's beautiful play about the King of Spain whose own depression is alleviated by the singing of a celebrated castrato.
Each of these shows resonated on a personal level, as a fellow sufferer; I'm not in a depression now, so was able to watch them with a little more disinterest though far from lack of interest.

there are days i don't want to leave these walls. when the wind is too high, and sometimes on sunny days too. because what i've created here is sacred, and untouchable. and only here am i invulnerable. when i drive away in the mornings, with the dew fresh on the road and the school bus inevitably in front of me, i become courtney the technical writer. courtney the student. courtney the bearer of all stresses.
but here. here is magic. and here, i can pretend. that i am a queen. a grammy-winning singer in the shower. a movie star with a toothpaste bottle oscar. and even if the only applause i ever receive is the patter of grateful paws on the hardwoods, and the only speech i ever give is to robert, pointing to his socks on the floor, i sill feel like a star. because when the lights go down on tinseltown, all you need is love. and love, for me, is home.
Is this your house?? This is absolutely awesome! I see why you never want to leave it.
because the place my husband and I are in is temporary I haven't quite put roots down...we are in the process of looking for "home" though...can't wait!
well it seems easy to love a home when it's as cute as yours! :) seriously, i love your colorful plates, plants and teacups!
your house is beautiful, and I too, sometimes get nominated for grammys in the shower.
Your house is absolutely adorable! We are looking forward to buying our own home in the future, so right now we are in our temporary "homes" that seem to change every year or two.
your house is absolutely darling.
you live a truly blessed life, my dear.
home is where the heart is, right? I think home is where you make it. Love yours!
your home looks so peaceful and serene, I love it!
your home looks so relaxed and comfy. Love it.
How lovely to see inside your adorable home! I love what you've done with the dishes, and the dining set and clock are fab.
I think I identify a lot with you here. I am never more happy or comfortable and content as I am when I am in my own home. And your home is very sweet. Like you!
So beautiful! I feel the same, I love being at home. It's the only place I feel completely comfortable in my own skin and perfect as I am.
You have a beautiful house by the way!
Love is definitely home and home is love. This place reminds me so much of my parents' home and all the dreams I dreamed there when I was little.
looks so beautiful and cozy! i'm the same way, i'd rather be home than anywhere else.
I REALLY like this post! Makes me think a little bit about life and the little things. I also REALLY like your house!!

Do Exercise & Diet Reduce Heart Disease for Diabetics?

I just watched the first season of Stranger Things and I am making some fan arts!
These are some of the illustrations I did for Dr. Sheila. I did these digitally using Photoshop and Sai. If you need a similar commission feel free to message me. These illustrations is part of a bigger picture on a board game.

Q: Automate Pull Request in Git I have a small script which makes some changes to certain files and push those changes. However after the script runs I get the PR url and I have to manually submit it from the browser. How to automate it so that even the pull request is created automatically.
#!/bin/bash

git clone -b dev git@github.com:userabc/git-automation.git
cd git-automation/

git pull git@github.com:userabc/git-automation.git
git branch release
git checkout release

sleep 5

sed -i -e '/UI:/{n;n;s/\(imageTag\).*/\1: '"$1"' /}' \
       -e '/DB:/{n;n;s/\(imageTag\).*/\1: '"$2"' /}' \
       test.yaml

sleep 10

git add test.yaml

git commit -m "updated tags"

sleep 5

git push git@github.com:userabc/git-automation release

I tried using request-pull by having the below command after git push, but it seems to be not working or justify the automation of creating PR without having to open the url from browser and clicking on submit button
git request-pull dev https://github.com/userabc/git-automation release

A: You can use github API for this.
First, create a new personal access token from https://github.com/settings/tokens
Then use curl to call github's API to create new pull request:
curl \
  -u "userabc:{YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
  https://api.github.com/repos/userabc/git-automation/pulls \
  -d '{"head":"YOUR_BRANCH","base":"master","title":"This is an automated PR"}'

Thursday: Both Condon and Street have cleared waivers, and can now be assigned to the minor leagues.
Wednesday: After a tough night in Arizona, Mike Condon has been placed on waivers by the Ottawa Senators according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. Joining Condon today is Ben Street of the Anaheim Ducks, while Jakub Jerabek has cleared and has been assigned to the minor leagues by the St. Louis Blues.
Condon has gone through quite a disastrous spell since signing a three-year, $7.2MM contract with the Senators in June of 2017. That summer he was coming off a very successful campaign in which he recorded a .914 save percentage and helped Ottawa get all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. Since, he's recorded just a .898 save percentage and won just five of his 28 starts. His and fellow netminder Craig Anderson's disappointing 2017-18 season were a huge part of why the Senators fell to the bottom of the standings, and now there's some question about whether or not he'll be able to find his game again.
It's not like Condon is at the beginning of his career, just dealing with a bump in the road. He'll turn 29 this season, and could very well be on his way out of the league if he can't turn things around. For now, he'll likely clear waivers due to his hefty contract and try to work his way back to relevancy in the minor leagues. John Shannon of Sportsnet reports that it will be either veteran goaltender Mike McKenna or prospect Filip Gustavsson that will be called up to replace Condon in Ottawa and back up Anderson.
For Street, it's a numbers game as the Ducks try to find a way to right the ship in the early part of the season. Patrick Eaves is close to a return, and with Kalle Kossila and Kiefer Sherwood making there return Anaheim needed to send someone back down. Street will likely join Sam Steel in the minor leagues, though was still skating with the team today.
The St. Louis Blues have placed Jakub Jerabek on waivers, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. Jerabek has played just a single game for the Blues, after coming over from the Edmonton Oilers just before the season started.
If claimed, Jerabek could be joining his fourth NHL team since coming over from the KHL, despite only playing 39 games between the regular season and playoffs. The 27-year old defenseman signed with the Montreal Canadiens in the summer of 2017 only to be traded at the deadline to the eventual Stanley Cup winning Washington Capitals. A new contract with the Oilers didn't even last all of training camp before he was cut from the squad and sent south to the Blues, where he still hasn't been able to make much of an impression.
With the recent return of Carl Gunnarsson and several forwards from their conditioning stints, the Blues need room on the roster and Jerabek is the easiest choice to lose. His $1MM salary may actually protect him from claim, but one has to wonder if he'll accept another demotion to the minor leagues. The Czech-born defenseman was an excellent professional player for years in his home country, and if he's not going to get another opportunity at the NHL level this season there seems little chance of him earning a one-way contract next summer.
After the first handful of games and a handful of injuries, many teams should be active as they make changes and/or additions to their roster. Keep checking to see what teams do.
The St. Louis Blues announced they have assigned veteran defenseman Chris Butler to the San Antonio Rampage now that Jakub Jerabek has gotten his visa and is ready to join the team. With Jerabek, the team has nine defenseman on the roster, forcing them to send Butler down. The 31-year-old blueliner played in the Blues' first two games for the injured Joel Edmundson, faring well and even scored a goal. Once an NHL regular, Butler has spent the past few years in the AHL, being utilized as an emergency recall.
The Minnesota Wild announced they have assigned forward Luke Kunin to the Iowa Wild of the AHL. That means that Kunin has been cleared to play since he's been working to return from a torn ACL he sustained on Mar. 4. The team's 2016 first-rounder, Kunin bounced back and forth between Iowa and Minnesota last season, playing in 19 games for the big-league club before sustaining the injury. He has been rehabbing since and passed coach Bruce Boudreau's infamous skating test Saturday and looks ready to continue his return.
The Arizona Coyotes have recalled forward Laurent Dauphin from his conditioning stint with the Tucson Roadrunners of the AHL, the team announced. The 23-year-old played one game there, putting up a goal and an assist and will now return to the Coyotes. Dauphin has been recovering from a lower-body injury he sustained at the end of last season and had been limited at training camp. The hope is he can fill in for injured Coyotes' such as Alex Galchenyuk and Christian Dvorak.
The Los Angeles Kings announced they have recalled veteran goaltender Peter Budaj to be the team's backup for Jack Campbell for the near future while starter Jonathan Quick sits out after he suffered a lower-body injury in practice Saturday. The 36-year-old Budaj has only played one game for Ontario in the AHL as he allowed five goals, posting a .833 save percentage.
With Joe Thornton landing on the IR, the San Jose Sharks have promoted center Dylan Gambrell, per CapFriendly. The first-year pro out of the University of Denver was a perennial point-per-game player in the college ranks and will be looking to live up to his second-round pick billing in his first opportunity with the Sharks.
The Colorado Avalanche have promoted center Vladislav Kamenev from Colorado of the AHL in advance of their upcoming road trip, per the AHL's Transactions page. The 22-year-old was added as part of the Matt Duchene trade last season but was sidelined shortly thereafter. In two games with the Eagles so far this season, Kamenev has one assist.
It doesn't come as much of a surprise after his play in the preseason and the recent trade of Jakub Jerabek, but Jason Garrison has earned a contract for the 2018-19 season. The Edmonton Oilers will sign Garrison to a one-year, one-way deal worth $650K according to Bob McKenzie of TSN, a nice reward for his hard work on a professional tryout at camp this summer.
Garrison, 33, ended up on the Vegas Golden Knights roster in last season's expansion draft but couldn't crack the lineup for much of the season. Suiting up for just eight games, he instead spent the majority of the year in the minor leagues with the Chicago Wolves of the AHL where he recorded 28 points in 58 games. That broke a string of seven seasons which he had played entirely in the NHL, not a bad streak for an undrafted defenseman out of the college ranks.
Once a feared weapon on the powerplay because of his shot, Garrison can't really be relied upon for a ton of offensive production anymore. In Edmonton he'll be asked to play a depth role, likely starting the season in the press box should the team's regular group be deemed healthy enough to play. His presence does also complicate things somewhat for young talents like Evan Bouchard and Ethan Bear, though both are right handed—something that the Oilers have lacked depth in over the last few seasons.
If the team does end up relying on Garisson as a full-time player, you can bet things have turned south in Edmonton. The defense was a huge spot of difficulty for the team in 2017-18, but should rebound somewhat if Adam Larsson and Oscar Klefbom can stay healthy and in the lineup. Though Andrej Sekera's injury is painful, all this group has to do is defend well enough in their own end and get the puck quickly up to Connor McDavid and friends in order to compete in the Western Conference. Whether they'll be able to do that is still yet to be determined.
The St. Louis Blues have acquired depth defenseman Jakub Jerabek from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a conditional 2020 sixth round draft selection. Jerabek was recently cut from the Oilers roster but was awaiting an assignment, something he'll now have to get from his new bosses in St. Louis instead. The draft pick will become a fifth round selection if Jerabek plays in at least 50 games for St. Louis this season. The Blues will be missing defenseman Robert Bortuzzo for the regular season opener after he received a suspension last week, but it's unclear how the rest of the blue line will shake out after Jerabek's addition.
Jerabek, 27, was only signed by the Oilers in August after failing to find a contract with the Washington Capitals at the end of last year. Traded to the eventual Stanley Cup Champions by the Montreal Canadiens at the deadline, Jerabek played in just two postseason games for Washington and never found a real fit on their blue line. Unlike fellow deadline acquisition Michal Kempny, the Capitals decided to let Jerabek leave in free agency. A new contract didn't materialize until the Oilers were in trouble following an injury to Andrej Sekera, but after a poor showing he'll try his luck in St. Louis instead.
The Blues are also dealing with injuries to Carl Gunnarsson and Joel Edmundson at the moment, meaning they might need some short-term help for the start of the season. It does seem unlikely that Jerabek plays the entire season for the Blues, but with a cap hit of just $1MM he could be completely buried in the minor leagues if he cleared waivers at some point.
A late-round pick doesn't seem like a lot, but for the Oilers it represents basically a free asset. Jerabek wasn't a good fit, but they won't even need to retain any of his salary this season meaning their books are clean of what quickly looked like a bad signing. Instead they'll hope that late round pick can help them down the road, or become trade bait of their own as they look for other ways to improve their blue line going forward.

Pinguicula moranensis f. Vera Paz was collected in Vera Paz, Guatemala.
Tropical Pings prefer a loose, open soil. We use an all-mineral mix comprised of an aquatic planting medium based on arcilite, a common clay-based mineral used in soil-less planting mixes. Also includes horticultural silica sand, iron oxide and a very small amount of urea-free soluble plant food. Another mix we have used is 1 part each of peat, sand, vermiculite, perlite and pumice. Shipped bare root, carefully wrapped in damp sphagnum.

A Place to Bury Strangers may have lost its home base when Death By Audio closed in 2014, but it hasn't lost its mojo, as evidenced by its new single, "Never Coming Back." The title is somewhat ironic, since the band announced today that it will be coming back with a new album, Pinned, on April 13.
Laetitia Tamko, the "one-woman empire" that is musical act Vagabon, prefers being on tour to practicing in her Bushwick studio. For her, the road feels more like home. The 24-year-old fresh face began recording and producing music as Vagabon in 2014 while studying engineering at CUNY, spending most weekend nights working late at the library. At least that's what she told her parents, while sneaking off to play gigs throughout the city. Tamko didn't want a "real job," despite her parents' failed attempts to push her into a career in engineering. Brooklyn's underground music scene had pulled her in. "It can be hard, but it's also all I see myself doing," she says.
Is Brooklyn Really Inside a Trump-Proof Bubble?
Shortly after the jarring election of Donald J. Trump, you might've seen a hilarious sketch from Saturday Night Live called The Bubble where "it's like the election never happened." The Bubble is a magical, if not eerily insulated, "place where the unthinkable didn't happen and life could continue for progressive Americans just as before" because it's "a planned community of like-minded free thinkers – and no one else." The punchline is genius: "The Bubble: It's Brooklyn with a bubble on it." It's funny because it's true – or maybe not.
It's kind of fitting that a torrential downpour occurred with just 15 minutes left in Saturday's Rooftop Films screening of Goodnight Brooklyn, the documentary about Death by Audio. You'll recall that just days before its final show in 2014, the Williamsburg DIY venue was flooded during the construction of Vice's new offices. If the beloved showspace could soldier on (albeit briefly) after that deluge, then the crowd at the Old American Can Factory in Gowanus could damn well wait for well over an hour to finish the documentary. Especially since it was going to be followed by a set from a superband consisting of members of A Place to Bury Strangers and Grooms, two of the many indie acts that considered DBA a home away from home (or in their cases, an actual home) during the scrappy venue's seven-year run.
Less than a month after Goodnight Brooklyn: the Story of Death by Audio premiered at SXSW, there's news of a forthcoming photo book documenting the life and slimes of the beloved Williamsburg DIY venue. Ebru Yildiz, a photographer for Bedford + Bowery's The Regulars (also being turned into a book!) tells us her debut publication, We've Come So Far: The Last Days of Death By Audio comes out in August, and you can preorder it now.

Die Lippach ist ein südöstlich laufender Fluss auf der Hohen Schwabenalb im baden-württembergischen Landkreis Tuttlingen, der nach einem etwa 11 km langen Lauf von links in die Donau mündet.

Geographie

Verlauf
Die Lippach entsteht kurz nach der Kläranlage der Gemeinde Böttingen unterhalb des namengebenden Dorfes neben einem kleinen ehemaligen Steinbruch. Die Talmulde ist jedoch von dort aus durch das Dorf und dann weiter nach Nordwesten bis nahe an den Albtrauf über Gosheim, dort Längenloch genannt, weitere 4,5–5 km aufwärts zu verfolgen. Der schon anfangs in merklicher Talmulde fließende Bach läuft dort schon südöstlich, tieft sich stark ein und durchzieht nun ein Waldtal, in dem er bald links um den Talsporn Böttenbühl biegt und das steil eingekerbte Schäfertal durchzieht.

Kurz vor der Lippachölmühle öffnet sich der Talgrund, bis etwa zur Lippachmühle zieht der Bach nun unter dem Dorf Mahlstetten auf der rechten Randhöhe vorbei. An der Lippachmühle steigt die K 5800 über zwei Serpentinen ab ins Tal, worin sie nun dem Bach rechtsseits dicht folgt. Danach ist der Bach kurz Gemeindegrenze zu Kolbingen, dessen Gebiet mit einem schmalen und kurzen Talstreifen den Fluss einfasst, ehe er ganz aufs Gebiet der Stadt Mühlheim an der Donau wechselt. Auf immer weiterem Talgrund läuft er bis zur Ortsgrenze, durchquert dann Mühlheim und kreuzt die Bahnstrecke Tuttlingen–Inzigkofen. Dann mündet die Lippach von links nach 11,1 Kilometern in die obere Donau.

Einzugsgebiet
Das 42,4 km² große Einzugsgebiet der Lippach rechnet naturräumlich zur Hohen Schwabenalb und erstreckt sich vom Albtrauf über den Dörfern Gosheim und Denkingen im Albvorland, wo auf dem Gipfel des Hummelsbergs mit  sein höchster Punkt liegt, etwa 13,5 km weit nach Südosten bis zur Mündung; quer dazu ist es nirgends auch nur 5 km breit. An der kurzen Nord- und dann der langen Nordostseite grenzt es fast ausschließlich an die Einzugsgebiete von Unterer Bära, dann von deren Vorfluter Bära, die etwas abwärts der Lippach ebenfalls in die Donau mündet. Die Wasserscheide im Westen verläuft dann von der Mündung an erst gegen Trockentäler, die weiter aufwärts ins Donautal einlaufen, zuletzt im Norden am Albtrauf gegen das Einzugsgebiet der Prim, die in Gegenrichtung zum Rhein-Zufluss Neckar fließt, weswegen hier die hydrologisch bedeutendste Wasserscheide liegt, ein Teilabschnitt der Europäischen Hauptwasserscheide zwischen Nordsee und Schwarzem Meer.

Zuflüsse
Die Lippach erfährt Zufluss nur von einigen Quellen am Rande des Talgrund und am Talhang, die keine beständigen Läufe zur Lippach speisen. Einige Trockentäler laufen zu, die längeren darunter in recht spitzem Winkel.

Naturschutz
Die Lippach entspringt im Landschaftsschutzgebiet Sommerschafweide am Eingang zum Schäfertal, im Grauental, Kuhwasen und am Hühnerbühl, welches gleichzeitig ein Teilgebiet des FFH-Gebiets Großer Heuberg und Donautal ist. Nach etwa 2 km fließt sie bis zum Stadtrand von Mühlheim an der Donau durch ein weiteres Teilgebiet des FFH-Gebiets Großer Heuberg und Donautal. Unterhalb der Lippachmühle beginnt das Landschaftsschutzgebiet Donautal mit Bära- und Lippachtal. Auf einem kurzen Abschnitt im Gewann Untere Lauswiesen streift sie das Naturschutzgebiet Triebhalde. Die Mündung befindet sich abermals im Landschaftsschutzgebiet Donautal mit Bära- und Lippachtal und im FFH-Gebiet Großer Heuberg und Donautal.

Der Bach ist Lebensstätte der nach der FFH-Richtlinie geschützten Arten Biber und Groppe und wird streckenweise von einem schmalen Streifen des FFH-Lebensraumtyps 91E0 (Auwald mit Erle, Esche, Weide) begleitet.

Die Lippach fließt bis zum Stadtrand von Mühlheim durch das Vogelschutzgebiet Südwestalb und Oberes Donautal und auf ihrer vollen Länge im Naturpark Obere Donau.

Hyundai rolled out a new technology in the redesigned 2019 Santa Fe SUV that could help prevent parents from leaving a child in the back seat of a hot car.
Hyundai's system, called Rear Occupant Alert, goes a step beyond competitors' systems because in addition to reminding drivers that the rear door was opened prior to the trip, it continues to monitor the rear seat for motion after the vehicle is parked and all doors are locked.
"Hyundai's two-stage warning system—which uses door logic as well as an ultrasonic motion sensor located in the ceiling behind the rear seat—is a step above what other automakers are offering, based on our evaluation," says Emily Thomas, Ph.D., Consumer Reports' automotive safety engineer.
CR likes that Hyundai's version defaults to "on," rather than relying on parents to activate it. This is important because many people believe they would never forget their child and so might not turn on the system. CR hopes that Hyundai makes the system available on all Santa Fe trim lines, not just the SEL Plus and above.
Hyundai's initial door logic reminder warning appears in the instrument cluster and worked reliably in our testing. (This is similar to the rear-seat reminder systems we've evaluated from General Motors and Nissan.) If a rear door is opened and closed and the car is turned on, the driver will get a visual and audible rear-seat reminder alert when the car is turned off and the driver begins to exit the vehicle.
Hyundai officials told CR that the sensor's limitations prevent it from detecting slight movements, such as the rise and fall of the chest when breathing.
We were also concerned that the system requires the doors to be locked to trip the motion detector. We could envision a scenario when a driver parks the car at home but doesn't lock the vehicle and forgets that a child is inside. Hyundai's engineers told us they set it up this way to avoid triggering an embarrassing horn alarm in situations such as filling up at a gas station.
Hyundai's system can help parents avoid tragedies, and it goes beyond existing factory-installed warning systems, but it's not foolproof.
Rear-seat reminder systems are becoming more important than ever. It looks like 2018 could become the deadliest year for child vehicular heatstroke deaths in U.S. history. There have already been 29 confirmed pediatric heatstroke deaths in cars this year thus far, according to NoHeatStroke.org. On average, 37 children die in hot cars in the U.S. each year.
Sensors in the Santa Fe's headliner.
CR's take: We applaud Hyundai for its heatstroke prevention advances. Based on numerous CR tests, it offers a welcome protection against hot-car tragedies. But as with any of these systems, it's important for parents and caregivers not to become overly reliant on technologies. Parents and pet owners need to understand how quickly a vehicle can heat up to dangerous levels, believe that it can happen to them, and implement multiple strategies to avoid child and pet heatstroke tragedies.
The first step to preventing these hot-car tragedies is for parents and caregivers to understand that human memory is faulty and that these memory failures can happen to anyone. The key to avoiding such incidents is to use strategies aimed at overcoming memory lapses.
Create safeguards. One idea is to create a mutual child safety agreement, such as Ray Ray's Pledge, when parents promise to notify child-care providers if their child is going to be late or absent. In return, the child-care providers pledge to notify parents if children do not arrive at their usual drop-off time.
Set reminders on your phone. This can remind you to check with your spouse or partner to make sure he or she has dropped the child off.
Use visual reminders. Place the child's diaper bag, jacket, or hat in the front passenger seat.
Force yourself to go to the backseat. Keep your backpack, lunch box, briefcase, or something else you may need there every day.
Never leave a child unattended. Vehicles can quickly heat up to potentially fatal levels even on mild-temperature days. So leaving a child in a vehicle is a no-no for any length of time, regardless of the outside temperature.
Concerned parents can contact federal lawmakers at Congress.gov to urge them to support the bill known as the HOT CARS Act. The bill would require cars to come equipped with technology that alerts drivers if a child is left in the backseat after the ignition is turned off. It's endorsed by Consumers Union, the advocacy division of Consumer Reports.


The Theatre "Curci" in Barletta is placed along Corso Vittorio Emanuele and is part of a wide urban block which consists of terraced masonry buildings. The orchestra is enclosed from the gallery and from the stages which are horseshoe-shaped, typical example of nineteenth-century theatres. The orchestra's access belongs to the axis of the oval which enclose it and is perfectly placed on the barycenter of the symmetric configuration of stages. People can come up to the other floors, through two stairs placed in back of the access corridor to the stages.
