"Carol" Offers A Rare Ending For A Lesbian Romance
Carol star Cate Blanchett and film's director, Todd Haynes, talked to BuzzFeed News about the movie's bold final act. Spoilers start right away!
by Kate Aurthur
Cate Blanchett in Carol, with Rooney Mara.
With few exceptions, fictional narratives about the lives of LGBT Americans in the pre-Stonewall era were largely stories of self-hatred, punishment, pathology — and even death. They were also often enshrouded in subtext in order to obscure their queerness under layers of plausible deniability. The novelist Patricia Highsmith certainly — and artfully — engaged in those tropes, most famously in her homoerotic thrillers Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley. But in her 1952 novel The Price of Salt — which has been adapted by director Todd Haynes and screenwriter Phyllis Nagy into the movie Carol, currently in theaters — the book's central love story between two women has a surprisingly hopeful ending.
"It's very T.S. Eliot — in my end is my beginning," said Cate Blanchett, the eponymous star of Carol, in a phone interview, referencing Eliot's 1940 poem "East Coker." "It ends with possibility, which is all any love affair can begin with: possibility."
Carol tells the story of Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), a slightly lost, but also very young, aspiring photographer in New York City, who takes a job at a department store for the Christmas holiday. There, she meets Carol Aird (Blanchett), a customer who appears to be an upper-class wife and mother from New Jersey. Therese, smitten immediately, grasps onto their almost imperceptible flirtation in order to get to see Carol again — and it works. After an intense, largely unspoken — and certainly brief — courtship, the two women embark on an unlikely Christmas road trip. Therese will do anything Carol asks. And Carol, embroiled in an ugly divorce from her husband, Harge (Kyle Chandler), yearns to be anywhere but her empty house.
As they travel, Carol sometimes succeeds in distracting herself into a low-boil of happiness, and Therese manages to get closer to Carol. But any incipient romance between them is thwarted after the first time they have sex: Harge has hired a private investigator to follow them, and by spying on them in bed, he now has the damning evidence to invoke a morality clause in their divorce to take custody of their daughter, Rindy (Sadie and KK Heim). Panicked and angered, Carol rushes home, leaving Therese in the care of Carol's best friend and former girlfriend, Abby (Sarah Paulson). In a goodbye letter to Therese, Carol writes beautifully about a seemingly impossible future between them: "lives stretched out ahead of us — a perpetual sunrise," but "until then, there must be no contact between us." She tells Therese, "I release you." Therese is so devastated that she vomits on the side of the road.
It seems, in other words, as if Carol is heading straight into tragedy — the familiar territory of impossible love between two people of the same sex. But Highsmith's novel upended that expectation, and Haynes' movie — thrillingly — follows suit.

The screenplay does diverge from the book in its framing: Carol's first scene follows a young man into the bar at the Ritz Hotel, and as he settles in, he recognizes Therese from a distance and goes to say hello. It's then that we first see Therese and Carol together — and they seem to be having a fraught, sad, and then interrupted exchange. When Therese leaves to accompany the man to a party they're both attending, she stares out the window of a cab and remembers how her relationship with Carol began. The story of their relationship unfolds, eventually circling back so the audience can finally hear their conversation at the Ritz.
In a recent interview with BuzzFeed News, Haynes said that when he first read Nagy's screenplay, he thought of David Lean's classic 1945 film Brief Encounter, and he worked with Nagy to emulate its structure. Brief Encounter begins with peripheral characters introducing you to its setting, with its main characters in the background — the story is then told in flashback. "It's not a whodunnit, but a who owns it kind of question," Haynes said. "And I thought that's what makes love stories really resonant." Blanchett, who had been attached to Carol before Haynes signed on to direct it, said that the screenplay's new configuration "excited" her, since Brief Encounter is one of her favorite films. Blanchett said, "I felt like it released the screenplay into a completely different place."
Therese's point of view takes the reader through The Price of Salt. But Carol's gaze shifts throughout the movie, from being first Therese's version of events to later including Carol's narrative. When Carol returns home knowing she could now lose Rindy, she is almost willing to sacrifice herself in order to prevent that. During a painful dinner with Harge's family, they ask her about the psychotherapy she is undergoing, and she says it's helping, even as she can barely contain her fury. Later, she talks to Abby about her misery — especially since she's still without Rindy. When Abby brings up Therese, telling Carol that she has started a job in the photo department at the New York Times, Carol says, "I should have said, 'Therese — wait.'"
Haynes said that by that time in the story, Carol is about to realize that it will be impossible for her to be both a full-time mother and someone who is happy. "She's trying really hard to keep her relationship with her daughter as the primary definer of who she is and what she wants," he said. "And I think she's learning that she may need more than that. She can't cut off whole limbs to protect other people who are ultimately separate people from herself."

As Carol heads in a taxicab to her lawyer's office for what will surely be a brutal, humiliating showdown with Harge — and one in which she might well capitulate — she sees Therese walking down the street, looking purposeful and matured. Just the sight of Therese galvanizes Carol. "She goes into emotional free-fall because she's trying to salvage her connection with her daughter," Blanchett said. "But at such a cost that I think if she hadn't returned to Therese, she may well have killed herself."
In the next scene, Carol interrupts the ugly fighting between her lawyer and Harge. Speaking directly to Harge, she says, "I won't deny the truth," adding, "Now what happened with Therese — I wanted. And I will not deny it, or say that I do."
She then shocks him by saying that she is willing to give him custody of Rindy as long as she can have regular visits with her. "Now there was a time when I would have done almost anything — I would have locked myself away to keep Rindy with me," Carol says. "What use am I to her, to us, if I'm living against my own grain? So that's the deal. I won't — I cannot — negotiate anymore. You take it or leave it. But if you leave it, we go to court. And if we go to court, it will get ugly. And we're not ugly people, Harge!" And with that, Carol walks out of the office.
"By that point, she does know who she loves, and that's what helps her to make that speech," Haynes said. "There's a strength of clarity that comes in that final scene." He added: "Carol realizes she's sacrificing everything, and she needs to think about her needs as well. Therese was much more fundamental to what she wants than she maybe ever knew.
Blanchett said, "I think that in order to deeply love someone, you have to be free."
And so Carol returns to the bar at the Ritz — a meeting initiated by Carol — to Carol and Therese's conversation. Therese, guarded to the point of nearly being entombed, listens to Carol, but will not be vulnerable again. Carol, with a light tone, reports that she and Harge are selling their house, and that she has gotten an apartment and a job. When Therese asks about Rindy, Carol says that she has not seen her much — her entreaty to Harge did not work (or has not yet worked, perhaps).
"The apartment's a nice big one — big enough for two," Carol tells Therese. "I was hoping you might want to come live with me — but I guess you won't." There is a long, loaded pause. Then: "Would you?" Carol asks, near desperation. Therese's response is careful: "Oh, I don't think so."
Carol is not entirely thwarted — she knows she has hurt Therese deeply — and she invites Therese to meet her at dinner with friends later at the Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel. Then she throws her Hail Mary, punctuating a stilted conversation filled with more silence and stares and exhalations than dialogue: "I love you." It's then that Therese's acquaintance comes up to the table, not noticing Therese has been emotionally floored by Carol's declaration. Carol is sure she has been rejected. But she has been performing a role her whole life and is able to put on a friendly face and leave the table.
"It's now Carol who is the one with her heart on her sleeve, who is sort of stripped naked and asking something of Therese," Haynes said of the scene. And Blanchett made note of Mara's path for Therese: "It's so beautiful the way Rooney has charted Therese's journey from innocence to maturity — to heartbreak. I think it's exquisite."
If it seems like Carol will end there, having completed a sad circle, the film has another twist. Therese goes to her party — filled with lively peers who call her by her last name, and to whom she can joke, "There'd better be beer up there" — but she is distracted. And not even another woman who seems interested in her, played by Carrie Brownstein, can draw her attention. She leaves.
In Carol's final scene, Therese determinedly enters the Oak Room, searching for Carol. But when she sees her, Haynes said, "there's a moment before she starts to move that I think is really important." He talked to Mara about the end of The Graduate after Benjamin rescues Elaine when they both wonder what will come next. "They're in the bus," Haynes said. "And then they're just sitting in the bus. Like, Now what? I just wanted that little moment of Now what? What's going to happen next? The walk across the room isn't the end of the story."
With Therese contemplating her choice, the din of conversation in the crowded restaurant fades, and Carter Burwell's score begins to play. Therese, now resolved again, starts her approach to Carol's table, where Carol and her three friends appear to be having a lovely time. In a shot that Blanchett said tested her "sense of peripheral vision to work out where the camera was," Carol finally notices Therese.
The two women look at each other. Therese begins to smile; Carol, staring straight into the camera (we are Therese at that moment), looks exuberant. The music cuts off, the screen goes black, and the movie ends. (From the time Therese enters the restaurant until the final shot is a full two minutes.)
Carol and Therese's affair in its first stage was an escape for Carol, and a learning experience for Therese. It also was conducted in secret, with the shame that accompanies that state. "It's not really until they come together at the very end of the movie that you feel that they're kind of on solid ground," Haynes said. "They're stepping out of that isolation, and maybe taking the first steps toward something real." As for what will happen next, Haynes said, "I like that you don't really know."
"Your job is just to imagine that moment," Blanchett said. "And that conversation is for the audience."

Reinventing classifieds: MinnPost launches "real-time advertising"
By Zachary M. Seward @zseward June 25, 2009, 2:12 p.m.
MinnPost, the non-profit news startup in Minneapolis, has rolled out a new form of advertising that looks a little bit like print classifieds, a lot like Twitter, and nothing like traditional marketing on the Internet. They're calling the service Real-Time Ads, and it's live in the left column of the front page right now.
The service aggregates tweets, blog posts, and other feeds from local business with timely messages to convey — an ice cream shop announcing the flavor of the day, for instance, or a clothing store offering a one-day coupon. Joel Kramer, the editor and CEO of MinnPost, explains more about about the project in the video above, which I recorded at the Knight Foundation's conference last week. You can also read the explanation he posted today, which credits local news sites The Deets (in Minneapolis) and The Windy Citizen (in Chicago) with pioneering the idea.
Real-Time Ads could appeal to marketers that already have Twitter accounts and blogs where they're reaching out to customers, and MinnPost is hoping that the feature will become a destination site the way the classifieds section used to be treasured by newspaper readers. To me, the concept sounds like a viable way for local news sites to finally compete with Craigslist.
In a phone conversation this morning, Kramer described the project as "an effort to move beyond banner ads," which have proven lucrative for the site, but also limited. MinnPost charges, on average, $15 per thousand impressions for its display advertising, but because the ads are for local businesses, they're only served to readers in Minnesota. (That's one reason the CPM is so good.) As a result, the site had several weeks this spring when marketers' demand for advertising space exceeded the site's supply of local readership.
That's an envious dilemma, but it also means that MinnPost hasn't maximized its advertising as it seeks to wean off foundation support. Kramer is hoping that Real-Time Ads will provide a new source of revenue "that isn't as tied to traffic as banner ads are." MinnPost is offering the space for free at the start but plans to charge "under $100 a week," a price point that's close to print classifieds ads in their heyday.
MinnPost, like most publishers, has struggled to provide an option for local advertisers with small budgets that can't accommodate banner ads. They've been using Flyerboard, an ad platform by New Haven startup PaperG that's popular among local news sites, but Kramer told me: "It has not produced a lot of business for us. We do believe Real-Time Ads will prove more valuable for advertising at a lower entry point."
There's more detail in the video above, including this bit of philosophy from Kramer:
It's an experiment. We've tried many experiments. Some of them work, some of them don't. We don't get too worried about the ones that don't. And I'm a big believer in that you have to try a lot of things and get a few victories.
And here's a full transcript of the video:
Joel Kramer: We're launching a beta test of a kind of advertising that's different from the banner ads that have been our main source of revenue in advertising. We have banner ads, and we have sponsorships that are a kind of a banner component and other kinds of advertising to them. But we decided it was important to try some other things that maybe took better advantage of what the Internet makes possible, and one thing we got very intrigued by recently was watching marketers — both for-profits and non-profit organizations and governments, people who want to communicate — watching them use Twitter and their own RSS feeds to communicate to their audiences. It's a growing phenomenon that people are doing this, and one thing it has is an element of immediacy to it. In other words, the marketer can communicate several times even the same day, whereas a banner ad is likely to be changed out every couple of weeks.
So we're creating a beta test, called MinnPost Real-Time Ads, in which we will take marketers, ranging from non-profits to government agencies to companies selling things, who have RSS feeds, maybe they've been marketing on Twitter or through other RSS feeds, and give them a space on our site, in which they can update their own messages frequently and create a place on the site where the reader can know that they can go to get ads with a great deal of immediacy. That they'll get the latest messages from a lot of different marketers. And we're going to try it by giving it away free, for a while, to marketers in the community that we can see are already doing it because we're reading their feeds. […]
It's all local. You know, we appeal to a local audience and we are looking for local advertisers. The national advertising business pays so little, on a CPM basis now, that its not really very promising. So this is all local. And the test will be done on a small scale, you know maybe somewhere between 8 and 16 or so advertisers. But this could be done on a very big scale. You could think it could become kind of like a new version of classified ads in which many, many players at a low price point can communicate regularly to our audience. […]
We believe this kind of advertising is form of content, and, for example, several of the ads might on a rotating basis might appear on the regular pages of the site and you can click through to see more of them. But, for example, if the Department of Transportation is putting out an RSS feed about construction tie-ups around the city, and if they would pay a small amount of money to put that on our site, that would be interesting information to our readers. Or whether there are parking spaces available at the airport or what a restaurant has on its menu as a special tonight for dinner. These are the kinds of things that could change everyday and actually would be, I think, of interest to readers. […]
One limiting factor is that not that many yet have good RSS feeds, and we have to train some people to do it. But at the beginning we are going to try to work with the leaders who are already out there, and they'll show other people how to do it. […]
The advantage is, you know, every marketer has its own list, so they could say, well, we don't need you, we're already doing this on Twitter, or we have our own RSS feed. But the advantage is for them to reach new people because we would be creating a kind of marketplace of immediacy. We would be creating a place where readers who want to see a lot of different kinds of recent messages can go. And, if we had enough marketers we could start to classify the ads by categories. For example, if we had a lot of restaurants, well, you could look at only the restaurants and see what the restaurants have for dinner today. And then if we had even more, you could break it down by restaurants in different parts of the community.
So we're building the software that will enable us to do this. What we add to the marketers' a new audience. They already have the audience they have, but without creating any new content, we can give them a chance to send their message to more people. […]
It'll be on an out-of-pocket basis, clearly a lot cheaper than banner advertising, and that opens up the opportunity for us to reach people who don't want to pay as much as banner ads cost. But it won't be sold on a CPM basis because much of the use of it will be on advertising-only pages. So, in that respect, it's more like classified in the old days when, you know, readers would go to a section and actually look at the ads because they were looking for it as content. Well, here, the amount of traffic we have on the site will not be the defining factor. The issue will be how many people want to go look for these ads. […]
It's an experiment. We've tried many experiments. Some of them work, some of them don't. We don't get too worried about the ones that don't. And I'm a big believer in that you have to try a lot of things and get a few victories. […]
Our technology director, Karl Pearson-Cater, worked with me on the basic idea, and he has used two outside people to help build it. And, there is some work that goes into that, and you know if it works well we might be able to get some benefit by sharing that with other people who want to use it. Yeah. Either, one way or another, either selling software or rent, or providing a service to people. But that's down the road, we have to first see if it works.

GPs in Dundee are now able to prescribe spending time in nature to improve patients' health and wellbeing as part of a pilot scheme.
A trial programme of "green health prescriptions" will be available from Lochee Health Centre, Whitfield Health Centre and Taybank Medical Centre.
The three Dundee GP practices will discuss with patients if it is appropriate to offer a nature-based intervention as part of their treatment or as a preventative measure.
The activities have been designed by NHS Tayside and will be printed on prescription paper.
NHS Tayside chief executive Grant Archibald said: "There is no doubt there is a strong connection between green space and good mental and physical health. Parks, woodlands and open spaces make a real difference to how happy we feel.
The Dundee Green Health Partnership (DGHP) will signpost green initiatives and raise awareness about the positive impact that nature can have on people's health.
The project is a collaboration between NHS Tayside, Dundee City Council, the voluntary sector, Dundee University, Abertay University and local community initiatives.

Coping with Suffering – Dr Daniel Fountain
Bruce Dahlman, MD
Dr. Dahlman began his global health and missions career with a two-month medical school experience doing community health and hospital care in northeast Congo (then Zaire) in 1980. He and his family returned to Africa in 1992 to work with Africa Inland Mission (AIM) at AIC Kijabe Hospital, where he served for a total of nine years as a family physician and medical director. In 1995, the Institute of Family Medicine (INFA-MED), a Kenyan-based NGO, began planning for the first ever Family Medicine residency in Kenya. In 2000, INFA-MED collaborated with Moi University (Eldoret, Kenya) to design a relevant post-graduate program which was intended to meet the significant disparities of the healthcare workforce in the poorest rural areas of the country. Dr. Dahlman was on the five-person curriculum-writing team for this project. The three-year program launched in January, 2005, at three church and one government district hospitals of 220 – 300 beds each. As of 2014, this program has graduated 16 family doctors. The three church hospitals are in the process of aligning with Kabarak University to form the first Christian-based family medicine residency in East Africa. The curriculum is specifically designed to enhance mentorship and discipleship towards wholistic care and service in mission.
As Director of INFA-MED from 2002 – 2010, a first-ever, practice-based, small group continuing education program was launched with the Kenya Association of Family Physicians, an obstetrical skills education course (ALSO) was inaugurated, and a scholarship program for family medicine residents was begun. Current projects include: development of the Digital African Health Library, an Africa-relevant, integrated point-of-care health information resource on smartphone devices; designing a comprehensive basic emergency skills course to promote rural hospital teams; promoting the wholistic care initiatives of Prime International (UK); and developing faculty expertise in teaching and mentoring within East African medical schools and post-graduate residencies. While in the US, Dr. Dahlman serves as the Health Ministries Advisor for AIM and seeks to mobilize and encourage those with global health interests to join the emerging field of family medicine development throughout the majority world.
Dr. Dahlman attended the University of Minnesota Medical School and University of North Dakota family medicine residency programs in the 1980s before practicing for eight years as a full service family physician in a remote Minnesota community (1984-92). He was Asst. Director for Duluth Family Medicine Residency Program 1995 – 1999 and Clinical Curriculum supervisor at U of MN Medical School Duluth from 1998 – 2000. He completed the Master of Science in Health Professions Education at Maastricht University, Netherlands, in 2010 to assist with the expansion of family medicine training and faculty development in East and Central Africa. He is currently the Head of Kabarak University Department of Family Medicine and Community Care.

Air temperature as well as internal and surface temperatures (by infrared radiothermometry) of grape berries of vineyards (var. Syrah) under which we place different soil cover : bare soil, polyethylene and aluminium were monitored during the swelling and the ripening stages at the « Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique » experimental station at Pech Rouge, Gruissan (France). Results showed there were significant differences in the thermal responses of the grapes with respect to the type of soil cover and degree of fruit ripening. High differences in temperatures between grape and air were observed in soil covered with aluminium sheet which reflected most of the incident solar radiation. For this cover, biochemical analysis of berries and must indicate an increase of sugars grade and alcoholic degree. Statistical analysis were carried out to determine the influence of climatic variables on the grape temperatures. Solar radiation, wind and air temperature are the parameters which seem the main factors, nevertheless, their influence evolve during the process of grape maturation.

Lisa and Francesca are back with another collection of warm and witty stories that will strike a chord with every woman. This six book series is among the best reviewed humor books published today and has been compared to the late greats, Erma Bombeck and Nora Ephron. Delia Ephron said of the fifth book in the series, Have a Nice Guilt Trip, "Lisa and Francesca, mother and daughter, bring you the laughter of their lives once again and better than ever. You will identify with these tales of guilt and fall in love with them and fierce (grand) Mother Mary." This seventh volume will not disappoint as it hits the humorous and poignant note that fans have come to expect from the beloved mother-daughter duo.
Half memoir, half a collection of essays, this was heart-warming and comedic.
I hadn't read the books that come before this so I wasn't sure what I was expecting at all, but this is a fabulous book to pick up whimsically--the only context you need to know is that Lisa is Francesca's mother, so you don't figure that out a third of the way through and feel like an idiot as I did.
Though this is marketed more towards mother, I enjoyed it though I'm in my early twenties with no intention of ever having kids. There were still a lot of relatable experiences about growing old, about friendship, and about maintaining relationships with various people in your life.
I did enjoy Francesca's dating scenes the most of the book, but it would be quite easy to pick and choose any sections that appeal. From dealing with the aftermath of assault to making butternut squash soup, there's a bit of everything in here.
Though I normally prefer straight up memoirs when going for non-fiction, this essay collection was delightful and I recommend picking it up to anyone looking for something light, funny, and touching.

This video is a quick run-through of a little feature we've put in place on the iPad application to help patrollers be able to get in and get out and being more efficient with their paper work and what we've called it is fast user switching.
A passkey so that when you open the ipad from sleep you need to type in the pass key to get into the device itself. Change this passkey on a schedule.
First of all open up the application and log into it using my Manager account.
Once logged in it's going to download the cases that were already assigned to me and I can start to manage the cases that I have open.
In order to turn on the fast user switching mode we're going to click the little icon of the person in the top right-hand corner and that's going to read us the riot act with regards to data privacy and security of this device so read this carefully, and take the necessary precautions.
If this mode will violate your local legislation around security and data protection we advise you do not use it.
Once activated you are presented wiht a list of users in your organisation. We can now very quickly switch between users so in this demo we will take a look at Steve Patroller. You can see that Steve's got two cases to his name now and when he's done with the device he can simply close out the application or lock the ipad and the next person that comes along simply click's the top right-hand corner and then they can go through and login with their own details.
To create a case click the + at the bottom and off you go just like a normal login.
To logout, hit the person icon and then find the Manager user account. From there click the settings icon and Logout.

Having removed tedious manual processes, SFSU's budget office can now adapt quickly to changing economic conditions with simple and insightful reporting and analytics. Finance leaders also have the ability to boil insights down to position-level detail to more effectively manage employees and optimize budgets. Oracle Cloud EPM's scenario modeling capability enables SFSU to test a range of scenarios and assess potential responses, and build a 10-year strategic plan.

Steam is a gaming platform on which you can buy and get free games from game developers all around the world.
What do you think about the platform?Do you use it and do play games on it?
I like Steam because it has a lot of useful features that can be easily accessed during any game and there are lots of good sales. With Steam, the game is in your account for good. If you delete the files, you just download them again.
Yeah, I used Steam to play and buy games and I really like the platform. We can buy expensive games into a cheap price when it becomes sale which pretty good to save money and buy many different games. Your account and files also in steam are safe and nothing to worry about.
I have been using steam and i think the platform is really managed well. The system's security is quite good. Also the games are really well picked and also managed. Although there are some fees, i think its a good way to make the games more competitive.
Yeah, I mostly play on PC and Steam is very helpful in updating on the newest games and there are tons of free games to choose from, with a good review system and easy purchasing interface all rolled into one.
When you're playing on PC, you'll mostly be using Steam to buy and play games. Although I mostly play Dota 2 there which is free. What I love about Steam is that they offer sales on different events throughout the year.
I agree, the management of steam is really great specially how they offer their games. Frankly there are games that is very affordable and worth it. But if you don't want to purchase any games you still can go for their free ones which has the same security and safety benefits for your account.
I am playing DOTA 2 on Steam. I think Steam is doing a great job to control hackers in the game. DOTA 2 looks like to be the very best video game in the competitive scene because it actually has no cheaters or hackers.

Here's a tip - don't make it so hard for people to hear samples of your songs. All that having to become a member of the site just to hear even one second of your music just isn't worth it.
What's so hard about clicking on a link? You only need to become a member if you want to download the songs. The music starts playing automatically, with no need but to listen.

Having spent all summer doggedly protecting the contract they hold with Cesc Fábregas, Arsenal must now turn their attention to the arrangement they have with their manager. Arsène Wenger's contract finishes at the end of the coming season, and he has admitted that if he is ever going to seek a change of club scene, it will be now or never.
"I am at the stage where if I extend my contract, it means I will finish my career at club level at Arsenal," he told Observer Sport. "If I go for a different challenge – I have been offered many challenges you know – it has to be now.
"That's a decision I have to make. But basically, I have no desire to change from here. I have one more year, and we are maybe thinking about extending it."
At regular times during the 14 years he has spent in north London, he has been courted by some of the grandest names in football, including Barcelona and Real Madrid. He would not consider such a position for less than a minimum three‑ or four‑year period, so the expiry of his current contract represents the last opportunity to try his hand elsewhere.
Although his preference is to finish his day-to-day managerial career with Arsenal, he is aware that the years are passing and expects to step down from the rigours of commanding a top‑level club at 65. Wenger will be 61 in October and, unless his health and energy levels surprise him in the years to come, a less stressful position is on the cards in four years' time. "I've set myself a target until 65 and then I will certainly make a move to some different job, unless I still feel like I feel today."
Wenger's enthusiasm for the challenge remains intense, and his passion for the English game continues to burn. But he has a warning for those running football in England that they are in danger of jeopardising the success of the Premier League by bringing in rules, such as those regarding new squad limits and homegrown quotas, designed to help the national team.
"England has to make a decision: Is the Premier League here to prepare the English national team to be stronger or is the Premier League here to be the strongest football product in the world? They try at the moment to combine the two, to do both."
However, Wenger is concerned that by doing so they might actually do neither well enough. "That's the danger for English football at the moment," he said.
"They have really to make a clear statement. Either say: 'OK, we want to protect the English national team, we kick the foreign players out,' but you will not have the strongest league in the world. Or say: 'We go for the strongest league in the world' – they have the opportunity to do it, because all the big rich people in the world are buying the clubs. They can make something exceptional. At the World Cup I realised how popular the Premier League is and nobody in England realises it. It is hugely, unbelievably popular.
"There is a huge transformation in the game at the moment and we sit in England and still see our traditional Arsenal, Man United, Chelsea, but it is not like that any more."

Confrontational politics is not new in Bangladesh. But it seems to have intensified in the last few months, especially after the unofficial main opposition, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), decided to launch protests on the first anniversary of the 2014 parliamentary elections in order to force the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government to step down. The BNP considers the January 5, 2014 parliamentary elections as illegal and hence the government in power as illegitimate.


Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have not reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
There is a saying (not sure who said it first) that everyone wants to save the world but nobody wants to help mama with the dishes. Saving the world would be a glorious achievement, one that would make you world famous and probably rich. Doing the dishes is a thankless, unremarkable drudgery, and we don't like to do it.
People love recognition whether they like to admit it or not. A recent survey by the Boston Consulting Group of more than 200,000 people found that recognition for their efforts and achievements ranked number one on their list of things important for "on-the-job happiness" and pay ranked number 8. We are a recognition hungry culture.
The point being that a Christian's service should be done for the glory of God and not their own. When service is rendered for our own glory then the service is done in vain. Our motivation for doing good should flow from our love of God and our faith. A spirit of humility should govern our service.
Christian service when motivated by love and faith will act as its own reward, resulting in greater joy and peace and a greater and deeper relationship with God.
I once knew a couple who felt they were being called by God to deal with the closet supply problem that had existed in their church for years. The closet supplies included such things as cups, plastic spoons and forks, paper plates, napkins, etc. It seems that every time the church needed them, they were not on hand, and this had become a great aggravation to many in the church. No one was looking after these supplies and no one would step up to manage them. Finally, this couple, who felt this was their calling, quietly began managing this problem on their own, without telling anyone. It was like magic. The supplies never ran out. The shelves were always full of everything people needed. And it was years before people found out who was doing this. I will never forget this example of quiet Christian service.
God calls a few people to save the world. He calls a great many more to help mama with the dishes.
Tomorrow we study humility in prayer.

British Orthopaedics Sports Trauma & Arthroscopy Association.
I came to see Mr Gulati with a knee problem. Ever since I first saw him I have been very satisfied. Very good service. I had an injection which has really helped me. Very pleased with the service.
The knee replacement operation was a lot easier than I thought it would be. All the staff were really helpful. I am so happy with the way things have turned out. My GP was astounded at how much I can bend my knee and how I am walking so soon, two months after the operation. My knee is bending really well. I am doing everything for myself now- Mobile from the beginning. Mr Gulati was very professional. He made me feel at ease before I had the operation, a very positive person. I was apprehensive before I had the operation. I am really pleased I had it done. I could not want for a more positive outcome.
Hip replacement feedback I would have liked to have my operation sooner because of the pain I was in time but everything went well so I have no complaints at all. job well done. Thank you to your team and best wishes to you all .
Hip replacement feedback Absolutely fabulous operation. I have not had had a hint of pain. Really pleased with the surgery. It's unbelievable.
I'm so glad I was referred to you. You were the third consultant I saw. All the other two suggested was to keep on with the cortisone injections. You have certainly done what was necessary by operating on the bursitis. I will certainly leave a review recommending you as a consultant and surgeon. I am well on the way to recovery thanks to yourself. Once again many thanks.
I was very pleased with every aspect of my treatment. Our consultations were clear and the advice offered was admirably straightforward and practical. Sessions were to time. Most important of all my knee is better. I would thoroughly and unhesitatingly recommend Dr Gulati.
Just had a consultation for my mother. Was truly a pleasure to have had Mr Gulati helping my mother today.
Found the whole process very painless I could not fault the care I received. Everyone was very attentive and there for my recovery. I would certainly recommend this hospital for hip replacement. The post physio classes were excellent and the post care by nurses excellent.
I would like to highlight and bring to your attention the fantastic service that I experienced under Dr Gulati's care. On Monday I, unfortunately, sustained an injury to my left calf and Dr Gulati was the consultant who I would subsequently meet on the following Wednesday to discuss the extent of my injury. Dr Gulati went out of his way to schedule my healthcare around his busy schedule over the next few days and went above and beyond what I'd expect of a doctor. Dr Gulati would arrange appointments for me at short notice, respond to my emails fairly late in the evening (to answer any queries) and contact me on the telephone (after working hours) upon the day of receiving the results of my MRI to briefly advise me of what I had done - no doubt due to my worrying and impatience! Dr Gulati was also very helpful when I requested letters to my airline, that I had requested fairly late in the evening and at short notice. All this again, outside of working hours. Dr Gulati has managed to diagnose my injury within the very short timescale that felt under., as he initially advised me that he would. He has been very helpful and continues to provide me with the utmost care and attention, for which I am most grateful. I continue to be under Dr Gulati's care and look forward to working with Dr Gulati to have my injury healed as soon as possible. Thank you so much.
I found the service fantastic. 10 out of 10. Mr Gulati and physiotherapist at BMI independent we're very good. We avoided any surgery.
My consultation with Vivek was most helpful. We talked through my condition, medical scans and future treatment options which I found highly informative and reassuring. Overall a great service.
I am very happy to supply feedback on my recent treatment for a hip replacement carried out by you in November. All my consultations with you and the surgery I would rate five star - at each stage I felt you gave me time, listening to and answering my concerns. The surgery itself seemed to go well and I feel I have made an excellent recovery without too much discomfort and am very pleased with the overall result so far. And once again thank you very much for all your efforts and skill in alleviating my problem.
I would like to tell you of my experience in the Homerton Hospital to have a total hip replacement. I had been in agony for months as my husband was dying with Mesothelioma and I was unable to leave him. Sadly he died on August 2nd and only then could I concentrate on my self. I sent Mr Gulati an email almost begging him if he had a cancellation could he think of me. The kindness I received from Mr Gulati was over welming. Such a kind and wonderful man. Thankfully I had my op on November 20th withMr Gulati I was only in hospital 2 and a half days and was walking unaided in a month. The difference Mr Gulati has made in my life at a time when I had lost the man I cherished died after being together for 57 years You can imagine, so I would like to say thank you to that wonderful man.
I had a hip replacement under Mr Gulati. It is superb and has changed my life. It is amazing. I am dancing. I have my life back thanks to him. The scar has healed so well.
Fantastic hip replacement. Both legs equal. Lots of confidence in the operating set up.
Mr Gulati revised my unstable hip replacement. I am very pleased with it. He has done a good job. Would recommend him.
Mr Gulati did my hip replacement and did an amazing job. He has given me my quality of life back, and it was the best decision I ever made.
Felt totally supported throughout knee replacement. Perfect wound. Walking up stairs since four weeks with ease. Limp has gone. Ten out of ten.
From the very first meeting we were treated with the utmost courtesy, kindess, consideration and compassion by Mr. Gulati and his team . For about two months Mr Gulati cared for Maria constantly and kept the family fully informed. Mr. Gulati arranged for Maria to be transferred to Stanmore under Prof. Hart, and constantly monitored her progress. We will always be grateful to Mr.Gulati and cannot praise him enough.
Before the operation for several years I was so bad. The staff thought it was a knee problem and only when I saw Mr Gulati did we realise it was a hip issue. It was transferred pain. Now I am delighted with zero pain!!!!! The whole experience was really excellent- and I am needle phobic! Mr Gulati visited me lots of times. Really professional and slick.
Happy with knee replacement. Can sleep now thank God.
Very good knee replacement- now got a straight leg. Very little pain after third week basically none. Feel very good about it and confident in my excellent surgeon.
Very professional and understanding. Always willing to answer any questions.
Very pleasant doctor- polite, pleasant and friendly. Would recommend.
Very impressed with hip replacement. Excellent infection control in run up to op. Great team and understanding of my background conditions. Very smoothly done. Operation was great-only in for two days. Superb follow up care and lots of examples of good practice. Result has been amazing and changed my life. Gone from being immobile with a stick to walking alone with no stick and long distances!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
very helpful in explaining the issue with my left knee. Mr Gulati was very friendly and spoke in layman's terms so that I understood fully what issues are and how to move forward with it.
The treatment that I have received has been of a high quality. I feel that I have been listened to and been taken seriously. I am very happy with the length of times for the appointments and treatments.
My hip was very sore before and is now absolutely painfree. The whole hip replacement experience was marvellous and I got very good care. I am looking forward to getting my other side done by Mr Gulati.
Mr. Gulati is an excellent clinician and a skilled Orthopaedic surgeon with expertise in Hip and knee replacement surgery. He is thorough and meticulous in his approach to managing patients and is very highly regarded by the team at his local NHS trust. I would have no hesitation in recommending friends and family to see Mr Gulati for their Orthopaedic related issues.
Mr Gulati is a highly skilled hip and knee surgeon with excellent surgical outcomes. He has a great bedside manner and I would not hesitate in recommending him.
I have known Vivek for over 10 years now, he is a very pleasant and knowledgeable clinician.
really excellent orthopaedic surgeon. great bedside manner with patients.
Mr Gulati is a good friend and colleague, we both trained together on the Imperial College North West Thames rotation and he has gone on to establish himself as a caring and skilled consultant surgeon with great fellowship training.
Mr Vivek Gulati is a well trained and highly skilled lower limb surgeon. He shows compassion for his patients, with great communication skills. He can provide a full comprehensive hip and knee service.


A few years back I was an avid collector of just about any type of computer. I had many of the hp 150 touchscreens with sw, hd, etc. I got rid of all my stuff but now would like to acquire a few of my favorite pieces. So, I am looking to buy an hp 150. I would need the cpu/screen unit, a hd unit, cables, and as much software as possible. Let me know what you have.
I'm afraid you are going to have a hard time finding a replacement. I think I saw only 1 on eBay in the last 6 years. The HP 150 II is even harder to find.
All of the software can be found at the HP Computer Museum's website.
Hi Sandy! I have an entire working HP 150 II Touchscreen system, manuals, software, etc that I was going to offer on eBay. If you are still interested, please contact me!
If that man isn't interested, I am.
Why is someone looking for a HP 150 in the cp/m section though 8!

This is a budget motel. The owner Iva is as nice as can be. This is a clean motel and in a great location!
One block from the beach. They do have trains that go by and it can be a bit loud. Not that bad. I did not see one roach or insect in my room. They loan out boogie boards and chairs.
Coffee every morning in the office and fruit and Danishes on the weekend. I would stay here again. Great for families and couples. My overall experience was excellent. No complaints! If u want a beach getaway . I would definitely recommend.
The price you found is 26% lower than this hotel's average rate of $189/night.
The price you found is 21% lower than this hotel's average rate of $204/night.
The price you found is 24% lower than this hotel's average rate of $157/night.
The manager Iva, has the office as her personal club house. The manager's ex husband Bill walks constantly around drunk like he owns the place and watch out, he will expose himself. If you want to talk to the manager, you will experience her ex husband, an elderly lady and another woman that rents a unrentable room. It would be better without all that.
safe place and block from beautiful beach. could of stayed and paid 3x as much. same location.
walk out after check in .
after check in with my family room smell very bad . the room not clean like a dump . my kid don't want to walk in the room with out shoes .but i want to walk to the beach keep tell my wife ok stay for one night . but we can't stay have to find the hotel near by .
Room tip: take look the room first .
This hotel's location is great for beach, restaurants and walking the town. It is located next to a RR crossing, however, and trains come by all night long. One other amenity missing is AC, but even summer nights cool down to 65 degrees, so with a fan provided, you can sleep in fair comfort. The staff here is very nice, but the clientele may be lower-income.

Feeling pain anywhere in the body is never a good thing. It typically means there is something going on in that area and that is the bodies way of alerting you to something being off. When it comes to jaw pain, it could be a sign of different things going on ranging from a tooth issue to something more serious such as TMJ or even a sign of a heart attack.
Learning the different types of jaw pain and what to do about them is a helpful tool to have in your health arsenal. Here at LB Dental, we see patients with a variety of jaw pains and offer services to help you find the relief you need. Take a look below at a few of the different types of jaw pain and what you should know about them.
This type of pain in the jaw is typically felt as tight, painful muscles in the jaw itself. This is basically when your jaw muscles are simply sore. It could be from overuse such as chewing very tough foods, or it can even happen if your jaw is not moved enough to keep the muscles loose. This type of pain is usually felt as a dull ache such as when you have sore muscles. It can also bring on headaches, pain in your neck region, or even a feeling that your head is full. This can come on due to an injury or any other combination of things such as hormone imbalances and environmental circumstances as well.
You may also start to feel pain in the jaw joint itself. While the same things that cause MMP can cause this, you could also be facing something called TMJ or TMD. This is where the joint in your jaw has become injured or is out of place. It can also be from arthritis wearing away the cartilage in your joint area as well. This can come as a popping sound in the joint, pain in the joint area, or it may radiate to your ear as well.
The first plan of attack is to find out what is causing your jaw pain in the first place. Dr. Bundalo and our staff will work with you to discover the root cause of your pain and then plan out a course of treatment to help you reduce or eliminate the pain altogether. Our jaw pain services include a range of options such as injections into the joint, orthodontics, and anti-inflammatory as well as others to assist in relieving the pain.
If you're experiencing pain in your jaw area, it is important that you find out the root cause. Give our office a call today to schedule a consultation appointment:602-482-5100. Our warm and friendly staff members are awaiting to assist you in getting you back to living life pain free.

Q: Convert HTML back to Markdown for editing in wmd I am curious to do what happens when you edit a post on this site.
I am using wmd for my markdown editor, of course when I goto edit, I get the HTML it generated not the markdown like on stackoverflow.  Now, is there a way I can store both?  or is it reliable enough to simply convert the HTML back to markdown to show in the wmd editor?
Thanks!

A: As Chris notes, you can send Markdown to the server so you can store it there as such. I started trying to use MarkdownJ to convert on the server-side, but it doesn't (at the time of this writing) convert images to HTML correctly and so I ended up going with Java 6 Scripting: Rhino engine + showdown.js. Since WMD uses showdown.js you get the same Markdown-to-HTML transformation. Works like a charm (for Java 6, anyway).

A: If you want to convert HTML to Markdown in batch, I can recommend
Aaron Swartz's html2text.py Python script with which you can just:
cat my.html | python html2text.py # outputs markdown

Edit 05/11/12: Nowadays I use Pandoc which is like a swiss-knife for text documents. Can convert html<>textile<>markdown<>epub<>pdf<>latex, etc.

A: Look at the optionsExample.html in your WMD distribution. There's an option to send the result to the server as Markdown.

A: I have just know Markdownify (formerly html2text.php) that "writes texts in Markdown and save them in HTML. You won't need a copy of the original Markdown input, since Markdownify can convert the saved HTML back to Markdown. And because page impressions are far more often than write actions, this gives you a simple way to increase your page's performance. Another benefit for a CMS or similar software is that now only one format of text is saved — HTML. The user can now choose wether to write texts in plain HTML or use a full fledged Wysiwyg editor. And of course he can write in Markdown!"
