May 4 Interview: Anya Davidson
Anya Davidson is a cartoonist and musician living in Chicago, IL. Her most recent work, Band for Life, is a 250 page hardcover comic strip collection following a noise rock band in the Chicago music scene. The comic is about the band but told through the lives of it's members; their relationships, their hard ships and their day-to-day.
CYA: Your most recent graphic novel 'Band for Life' showcases slice of life interactions between bandmates in the Chicago music scene? What is the most 'Chicago music scene' part of the comic?
Anya Davidson: Haha that's tough. There's so much of Chicago in general in the book. But one thing that really struck me about the scene here was how inclusive it is of women. There are a lot of distinct DIY scenes here -there's an electronics community, a hardcore punk community, a noise rock scene (and a bunch of others that I don't have first-hand knowledge about)-but there really is an inclusiveness of women that I appreciate and that I haven't seen in every city I've been to-in the audiences and in the bands. And it's very welcoming to oddballs in general-people from all kinds of different backgrounds who've had trouble fitting in elsewhere seem to find a home here in the DIY community.
CYA: The characters all have incredibly vibrant personalities that develop so much over the course of the short strips. The decisions they make not only affect each strip but the overall trajectory of their character as their time as a band goes on. Do any of these personalities borrow heavily from people you've known or interacted with in your community?
Anya Davidson: None of them is based entirely on any one person-they're all composite characters-they're informed a lot by people I know, and a lot by different aspects of my own personality. But yes-I was hugely inspired by people in the community, for sure.
CYA: You're a musician yourself. Has your own experience playing music influenced not only the plot of your comics but the style of your art?
Anya Davidson: These questions are so good! Being a musician has definitely influenced my art style. Fly was the first punk cartoonist I knew about-her strip ran in Chris Boarts Larson's zine Slug&Lettuce. I've always appreciated a really raw, handmade aesthetic and that definitely comes from my love of punk flyers and album art. And I learned a lot about screen-printing so I could print band shirts and show posters. Plus most of the contemporary cartoonists I love are musicians as well.
CYA: Where does time management come in when you're making comics, making music and … living life? Could you describe your life in any way as 'normal'?
Anya Davidson: I think I'm pretty much an adult teenager. Sometimes I worry about it, but mostly I'm pretty happy that I have very few responsibilities. I kinda always knew I wasn't going to get married or have kids...I've always worked shitty part time jobs so I could have the time to make art-I feel lucky now that I'm getting more design and illustration jobs...But those are frustrating in different ways. I'm trying to challenge myself as much as I can as an artist, because my work is definitely my life's primary focus.
CYA: How much time are you able to focus on art and music? What is the major sacrifice or adjustment in your life you have to make to feel fulfilled, productive and secure?
Anya Davidson: I've been really lucky - I graduated from dog-walking and pet care jobs to museum guard to museum education staff to after-school art teacher to freelance designer. So now, about 14 years after graduating college, I'm spending most of my time on art and music
CYA: Is there time for relationships, friends and fun? You put so much work into making art that is often an escape for readers, what is your favorite way of escaping from what's going on with you when you need a break?
Anya Davidson: My partner's also a cartoonist. He lives in the apartment above me, which is a great arrangement, cause we hang out when we want to but we still have personal space. To be honest, I don't really need to escape from anything, other than the frustration of working for clients, (and the frustration of living under a fascist fucking dictatorship) and I never really want to take a break. I do love to read and walk my dog.
Band for Life is available via Fantagraphics Books. Anya also runs her own webstore where she sells art, shirts and other creations.

Whenever I talk about breastfeeding, I will always start off with, I did not breastfeed my children, I was not raised around it, and never actually knew anyone back then that did it either. So, that being said, I am no expert, but I am a huge supporter of it now. And the following picture will show you why...this is my 5th grandchild, Brylee Jade, she is a huge success story for breastfeeding! And obviously, she is fed well, lol.
My daughter has read everything she can find on breastfeeding, and she tells me all that she learns, which is a LOT, and we talk on the phone every day at least once, as well as seeing each other a few times a week. She also made sure that Brylee's Pediatrician, is a lactation consultant as well. So, my daughter takes supplements, and adds everything into her diet that the pediatrician recommended, to increase her supply. Such as Fenugreek, Brewers Yeast, coconut water, flax seed, steel oats, almonds and almond milk. Well, her supply is so good, that in between feeding her very demanding daughter, she pumps, and freezes her milk. Once she got to a certain amount, to where she knew that she had a good supply for her daughter, in case it was needed, she decided to join a group called Human Milk 4 Human Babies here in Virginia. Now she is donating her extra supply to mom's who need it for supplementing! I am so proud of her! And apparently they have these groups all over the country.
Now some of the things my daughter has learned, really caught me off guard. As in, the different uses for breastmilk. Like today, when I woke up with an earache, a bad one, after fighting a horrible cold all week, my daughter made sure she mentioned that breastmilk is a natural antibiotic and is very good for earaches. I will admit, I said I would try some homeopathic drops she had first, and if I couldn't get my ear to feel better, we would consider the other option, lol. I am truly not wanting to put my daughter's milk in my ear! But, she did share this list with me, that has a crazy amount of things listed that breastmilk is supposed to be good for, and I have to say, that when our Brylee had a horrible rash on her face, my daughter made a lotion from her breastmilk and used it on her, and it cleared up really quickly!
Do you see what I mean? This is amazing to me...if breastmilk is good for this many things, it absolutely HAS to be good for our children!
Now, the next picture I am posting, is of my son, and our 3 year old granddaughter, Audryna. None of us noticed anything funny about it, until after I had posted it on Facebook. See if you can find what I am talking about, that made us all laugh hysterically!

The Mule Trailer – Clint Eastwood is an octogenarian drug runner opposite Bradley Cooper
October 7, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment
Clint Eastwood hasn't starred in a film since 2012's Trouble With The Curve, and hasn't appeared in a movie he's also directed since 2008's Gran Torino. However, now he's back pulling double duty in The Mule.
Here's the synopsis: 'Clint Eastwood stars as Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he's just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does well—so well, in fact, that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl is assigned a handler. But he isn't the only one keeping tabs on Earl; the mysterious new drug mule has also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates. And even as his money problems become a thing of the past, Earl's past mistakes start to weigh heavily on him, and it's uncertain if he'll have time to right those wrongs before law enforcement, or the cartel's enforcers, catch up to him.'
The Mule is in UK Cinemas January 2019. Bradley Cooper, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Peña, Dianne Wiest and Andy Garcia also star. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]
ACTORS: Clint Eastwood, Bradley Cooper, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Pena, Dianne Wiest, Andy Garcia DIRECTORS: Clint Eastwood
Abbie Cornish & Jim Sturgess Up For Geostorm
August 18, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment
Back in April Gerard Butler signed up to get his disaster movie on in Geostorm. Now the cast is growing, as THR reports that Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Ed Harris and Andy Garcia are in talks to join the movie.
Butler is set to play a satellite engineer who realises the world's climate-control satellites are malfunctioning. He has to team up with his estranged brother (Sturgess) to stop a man-made storm from destroying the Earth.
Butler head into space to fix the satellites (because satellites can cause storms, not just monitor them, right?), while his brother discovers a plot to assassinate the President of the United States (Andy Garcia), which presumably is linked to the storm. Cornish will be a Secret Service agent and Sturgess' girlfriend, while Ed Harris will be the Secretary of State.
Independence Day producer Dean Devlin is set to direct Geostorm. He also wrote the original script, which is now being worked on by Kieran Mulroney and Michele Mulroney. A March 25th, 2016 release date has already been set.
ACTORS: Gerard Butler, Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Ed Harris, Andy Garcia DIRECTORS: Dean Devlin FILMS: Geostorm
Mary Elizabeth Winstead & Michael Sheen Join Jeremy Renner In Kill the Messenger
July 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment
A few weeks ago Jeremy Renner got his first co-stars in the thriller Kill The Messenger, Rosemarie Dewitt and Paz Vega. Now the cast has swelled massively with a slew of great names, as Collider reports that Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Michael Sheen, Andy Garcia, Tim Blake Nelson, Robert Patrick, Barry Pepper and Oliver Platt have all signed on for the movie.
The movie is based on the true story of Gary Webb, a San Jose Mercury News reporter who helped expose the CIA's involvement in a drug smuggling operation with Nicaraguan rebels in the 1980s. In an effort to discredit the writer, the agency launched a smear campaign before the journalist tragically his own life.
There's no news on exactly who the cast members will play.
Shooting has already begun, with Michael Cuesta directing from a screenplay by Peter Landesman, which is adapted from Gary Webb's book Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion, as well as Nick Schou's Kill the Messenger: How the CIA's Crack-Cocaine Controversy Destroyed Journalist Gary Webb.
ACTORS: Jeremy Renner, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Michael Sheen, Andy Garcia, Tim Blake Nelson, Robert Patrick, Barry Pepper FILMS: Kill The Messenger

Q: Поиск всех возможных комбинаций слов Всем доброго времени суток!
Подскажите, есть задача, найти все возможные комбинации слов из списка.
Например, из списка: арбуз, банан, слива, вишня нужно получить примерно следующее:
        арбуз
        арбуз - банан
        арбуз - банан - слива
        арбуз - банан - слива - вишня
        банан
        банан - арбуз
        банан - арбуз - слива
        банан - арбуз - слива -вишня
        ...

понимаю что количество комбинации будет расти в геометрической прогрессии с добавлением каждого нового элемента в список. Но нужны не все комбинации, они будут отфильтровываться. Главное условие, каждый элемент должен повторятся только один раз. И комбинации банан - арбуз и арбуз - банан, это разные комбинации. На этом форуме, один хороший человек подсказал код, который решает мою задачу, если представить элементы строкой:
Код:
procedure Generate(s, comb: string; idx: Integer);
var
  i, k: Integer;
  temp: string;
begin
  if idx > Length(s) then begin
    if Length(comb) > 0 then
      Writeln(comb);
    Exit;
  end;

  for k := 1 to Length(comb) + 1 do begin
    temp := comb;
    Insert(s[idx], temp, k);
    Generate(s, temp, idx + 1);
  end;
  Generate(s, comb, idx + 1);
end;

begin
  Generate('abc', '', 1);
  Readln;
end

Но при попытке переделать процедуру под список, столкнулся с ошибками. Вот пример моего кода:
Код:
procedure Generate(list, comb: TStringList; idx: integer);
var
  temp :  TStringList;
  i, k : integer;
begin
  temp                  := TStringList.Create;
  temp.Duplicates   := dupIgnore;
  temp.Sorted        := false;

  if idx >  list.Count-1 then
    begin
      if  comb.Count-1 > 0 then
        begin
          Form1.Memo1.Lines.Add(comb.Text);
        end;
    Exit;
  end;

  for k := 0 to comb.Count-1 do begin
    temp.Assign(comb);
    temp.Insert(k, list[idx]);
    Generate(list, temp, idx + 1);
  end;
  Generate(list, comb, idx + 1);

comb.Free;
end;

Ошибка "Invalid pointer operation".
Подскажите, где ошибся? Или, если есть, другой вариант решения задачи. Большое спасибо!

A: Оказалось достаточно причесать ошибки индексации  и ввести модификацию-восстановление одного экземпляра списка
procedure GenerateList(list, comb: TStringList; idx: integer);
var
  k : integer;
begin
  if idx > list.Count-1 then begin
    if comb.Count > 0 then
      Writeln(comb.CommaText);
    Exit;
  end;

  for k := 0 to comb.Count do begin
    comb.Insert(k, list[idx]);
    GenerateList(list, comb, idx + 1);
    comb.Delete(k);
  end;
  GenerateList(list, comb, idx + 1);

end;

var
  sl, comb: TStringList;

begin
  sl := TStringList.Create;
  sl.CommaText := 'арбуз банан cлива';
  comb := TStringList.Create;

If you've been following the blog for a while you know that I love Acros, but with its inevitable demise, I've been on a search for an adequate replacement.
For me, B&W requires a completely different skill set than color (ok, maybe not completely but almost). If I have been shooting color for a while (like now) I find it hard to go back to B&W, and my first rolls after the switch are usually awful.
Its a lot of trial and error, looking for textures that will appear interesting is not as intuitive as looking for beautiful colors. Especially when you know how to play to the strengths of your film.
As I've discussed before, each color film has a particular area of the color range where it excels. The differences in B&W films have more to do with contrast and grain, and are not as obvious to beginners and even experienced photographers.
Light is everything with B&W, this streak is probably my favorite shot out of the roll. I sometimes find that my favorites are not the ones that most people like.. have you encountered this in your own work?
I'm really excited to shoot more B&W in the coming weeks, even though EKTACRHOME IS COMING!!!


If you dream of images filled with warming, natural light, this blog post is for you. We'll talk you through what golden hour is, and how to make the most of it to create some captivating photos.
Otherwise known as 'golden light photography' or 'magic hour photography', golden hour photography is a short period of time in the day when the sun is low in the sky, soaking the landscape with a dreamy golden hue.
What is it used for? – Golden hour photography is used to create ethereal looking photographs by making the most of natural light. For example, golden hour portrait photography is popular as it casts gentle shadows and a flattering sun-kissed tone over the face, making it a hit with clients.
What is the best time of day for golden hour photography?
The best time of day for golden hour photography is the brief period of time just after sunrise or just before sunset. 'Hour' is used loosely here because the period of golden light depends on your location, which season it is and the weather conditions, so make sure you're prepared ahead of your shoot! To help you plan, try using an online golden hour calculator or app.
A DSLR camera. Having a DSLR camera allows you to have much more control over your photos as you'll be able to adjust the settings to optimise the effects of golden hour. The best golden hour photography settings to adjust on your camera are the white balance, aperture and ISO – don't leave any of these settings in auto mode if you want to capture golden light. Check your photos in view mode between shots, and adjust accordingly.
No need for flash. Flash can darken your photos unnecessarily and will take away from the gentle golden natural light.
Lighting – The versatility of golden hour photography means that there are lots of creative ways to use lighting. Some examples to try out include silhouettes, backlighting to create a halo effect around your subject, or sunflares (these are created when the sun directly hits your camera lens).
Landscape – Use your tripod when taking landscape shots. If you stay in the same spot with your tripod, you'll be able to capture the beautiful varying hues and skies of the golden hour.
Reflections – If you're near a body of water when you're shooting, why not make the most of it? Play around with reflections in the water for some experimental photos.
When taking golden hour photos, there are a few important tips to consider.
Planning: Ideally, set up an hour before golden hour starts. Then you won't be rushed when the time comes. Also, it's a good idea to check the sky the night before you shoot. That way, you'll be able to get a feel for the amount of time you'll have and the type of shots you can achieve.
Timing: Golden hour photography is true to its name, so you won't have any longer than an hour and sometimes even less. This means you'll have to be quick when taking your photos as there is only a small window of opportunity available. Remember to adjust your golden hour photography settings on your camera before you start, to make the most of the shooting time.
Continuous shooting: The light is changing all the time during golden hour, so it's a good idea to shoot continuously to get a variety of photos. If you're planning on taking landscape shots and portraits, it may be best to spread these over two days so you can make the most of the small amount of time you have.
There's nothing better than seeing your finished images in print. Why not curate your golden hour photography into a high quality photo book with premium finishing touches, so you can enjoy them, again and again.

Q: How do I validate data in Automator? I'm making an app in Automator to quickly delete my iMovie Library (to save space). However, I want my app to check if the iMovie Library has already been deleted and show a dialog saying so. I know how to make the dialog, but I can't figure out how to do it. How do I do this? I'm using macOS 10.11.
My workflow:

*

*Ask for confirmation

*Get specified Finder items (the validation would go after this)

*Move Finder items to trash

*Run AppleScript (to show a dialog saying "Done")

A: You can use a Run AppleScript action to perform validation. Between actions 2 and 3 in your workflow, add a Run AppleScript action with the following:
on run {input, parameters}
    if input is {} then
        display notification "File already deleted"
        tell me to quit
    end if
    return input
end run

This checks if the input is empty (because the file can't be found), and if so, runs your desired code — you can customise display notification as you please, such as showing an alert. The use of tell me to quit if the input is empty will stop the workflow at this point.

A: An old question, but a bit more info could be added.
You can use other "Run" actions Automator, not just AppleScript. You can Run a Shell Script as well. An exit value of the script that is 0 will be deemed a successful check, any other value will be an error. And the equivalent to "Display notification" is the stderr from the script. So:

*

*Ask for Text - creates a single-variable dialog

*Set Value of Variable - gives the collected variable a name

*Run Shell Script - pass input to [stdin]
 read -r varname
 if [[ ! "$varname" =~ ^SomeValidatingRegexp$ ]]; then
   echo "Validation failed!" >&2
   exit 1
 fi

*Ask for Text - next variable

*etc.

The REAL reason a fifth of women have had affairs: As our sex survey reveals an infidelity bombshell, women who chose to stray tell stories every man should read...
Shocking FEMAIL survey reveals 40 per cent of women have been unfaithful
AND 47 per cent of their partners remained oblivious to the infidelity
Wife Stephanie Burton says she does it to feel like a 'sexual being' again
By Rachel Halliwell For The Daily Mail
Published: 17:13 EST, 9 October 2019 | Updated: 16:46 EST, 10 October 2019
Standing in the hallway of the home she shares with her husband and their teenage daughter, Stephanie Burton drops her overnight bag on to the floor and calls out to her family.
She kicks the bag from her husband's path as he comes to greet her and, at the same time, makes a conscious effort to push aside the events of the past 24 hours — a stolen night in a hotel with her lover — and return her attentions to family life. To reality.
Reality, for Stephanie, means being a loving wife and mother; the busy woman in the office who gets things done; the daughter her ageing parents turn to for help because she lives much closer than her two older siblings.
Bombshell FEMAIL survey reveals that one in five women have had an affair - and just under 50 per cent of their partners remain oblivious to it (stock image)
'I just get on with it all, to the best of my ability and without complaint, because all those things are important to me,' stresses Stephanie, 40, who lives with her lawyer husband Michael and their 14-year-old daughter in Manchester.
'But there's another side to me that I now realise was seriously neglected until I started having an affair 18 months ago. Part of me wants to shake off the burden of responsibility once in a while; to be seen as a sexual being, above everything else, for a few hours.'
It sounds hard to understand or accept. Yet the double life that Stephanie keeps a secret from all but her closest friend — someone she says has enjoyed the odd dalliance herself — is less unusual than you might think.
Why are so many of us not having sex? (even if we're in the... How the Pill transforms your personality as revealed in a...
According to an in-depth sex and relationship survey conducted by Femail, one in five British adult women has had an affair — and 40 per cent of those have been unfaithful to their current partner.
What's more, nearly half of those husbands and partners — 47 per cent, according to the women we polled — remain oblivious to the fact that they were, or indeed are, being deceived.
The shocking survey also found that 40 per cent of women had been unfaithful to their partners during the relationship (stock image)
Today, in the second part of our exclusive nationwide survey, we share the fascinating insights gained by talking candidly to more than 1,000 women of all ages about their sex lives, asking whether they've strayed and, if so, what they did to heal their relationship in the aftermath.
The results, and testimony from women like Stephanie, suggest that infidelity for women has as much to do with wanting a distraction from the mundanities of real life as physical thrills.
And it confirms just how dire and far-reaching the consequences can be for both parties.
Stephanie, a merchandiser for a large department store, is adamant she has no intention of leaving her husband. It would break up her family, cause heartache and disrupt a life that makes her broadly happy.
'I love our home, we have a good social life, and I still have sex with Michael once a week or so,' she says. 'OK, I find him a bit dull after nearly 20 years together. He's a workaholic and so consumed with his job that I often wish he'd find something else to talk about.
'But I love him and can't imagine spending my life with anyone else. In fact, I hoped our sex life might eventually be reignited by my affair.
'I'd hate to spoil what we have, and I'm incredibly careful not to get caught. The fact I travel for work makes it easy to get away with the odd extra night here and there.'
though Stephanie's lover is also married, she claims she doesn't feel jealousy, or even guilt, towards his wife. 'Neither of us wants anything long-term. If he announced he was leaving his wife, honestly I'd run a mile,' she insists.
'Maybe I should feel guilty that I'm betraying my daughter as well as her dad. But the way I see it, I'm happier at home, while my sexual needs are being met elsewhere. Isn't that better?'
Of course, many people would disagree with this assessment. Yet Stephanie is extremely self-aware and says she regards her affair as totally separate from her marriage — an exciting diversion with, as she sees it, minimal risk. It's become a way of nourishing a side to her that family life quells.
'This is what so often happens in an affair,' says psychotherapist Lucy Beresford, author of Happy Relationships. 'Women can feel a little exploited, to varying degrees, in their real-life roles. They're working hard at being a brilliant wife, fantastic mother, dutiful daughter, and pushing themselves at work, too — but something's missing.
'Having an affair becomes a way of attending to the part of their psyche that feels neglected, without the pain and disruption of walking away from their marriage.'
Lucy adds: 'It is possible to overcome a sense of feeling neglected within a marriage, but you have to acknowledge it to yourself first.
Stephanie Burton, 40, from Manchester, said she started an affair so that she could feel like a 'sexual being' again as her husband is often consumed with work (stock image)
'Sometimes, feeling abandoned or ignored by our partner is so horrendously painful we bury the emotion and "act it out" by seeking affection or desirability elsewhere.'
Viewed in this way, infidelity becomes about much more than sex — straying is a way of staying in the marriage without having to rock the boat by making it plain that certain needs aren't being met. It softens the blow of feeling that your priorities so often seem to come after everyone else's.
Psychotherapist Lucy Beresford offered her advice on why affairs take place
'These don't tend to be conscious conversations people have with themselves,' says Lucy. 'But, deep down, a trade is being made — the affair is what stops them from getting angry about what's wrong with their life, so they don't actually have to do something about it.'
There are, of course, many other reasons women are unfaithful: an affair can be an act of revenge on a partner who's strayed first, or a way of expressing frustration at unreasonable behaviour.
For others, it can simply be a deep-rooted pattern of behaviour connected to low self-esteem, lack of care for others, or going back to destructive early relationships.
Or it can be entirely out of character, becoming part of an escape route out of a miserable relationship. This was the case with Rachel Morgan, a 38-year- old translator whose affair with a colleague, she says, provided the wake-up call that led to her ending a four-year relationship.
Rachel Morgan, 38, used an affair to help her get out of a miserable relationship where her ex was 'incredibly childish' and 'hopeless around the house'
'Living with my ex was like being the mother of a grown man,' she says. 'He was incredibly childish, hopeless around the house, constantly wanting me to fix his problems for him. I'd stopped fancying him. We weren't even having sex.'
Despite her unhappiness, Rachel, from London, didn't feel a strong drive to leave her partner, who was the same age.
Until, that is, a work project took her away for several weeks and she began spending time with a male colleague. 'I started to feel more mentally stimulated,' she says. 'We were having interesting conversations, and I found his company relaxed and fun.
'When we started having sex, it felt inevitable, but it soon became about far more than that.
The survey also found that fewer than one in ten couples sought counselling after discovering that one of the partners had had an affair (stock image)
'My lover was bringing out the best in me, and that made me look at my relationship and appreciate how much it was dragging me down. I realised I didn't want to fix things. I wanted to start again.'
Extricating herself from an unhappy relationship in this way wasn't intended — and it was painful for both parties — but, ultimately, the spotlight that the infidelity shone on Rachel's relationship couldn't be switched off.
'An affair often forces us to look in the mirror and explore whether we like who we've become in our relationship,' says Lucy Beresford. 'Whether or not you get found out, it becomes a driver for change.'
Couples' therapist Hilda Burke says that an affair can be symptomatic of other problems, and that it is possible to work through it if both parties are committed
Yet our survey — which looks beyond the number of confessions of clandestine affairs to what happens next — found that fewer than one in ten (8 per cent) of couples sought counselling after discovering one partner had had an affair, even though the emotional fallout is often extremely complex.
Couples' therapist Hilda Burke is not surprised. 'The thing that's creating problems in a relationship needn't be a lover — it can be difficult in-laws, work, an addiction, or even your children,' she explains.
'Certainly, in my practice, those tend to be the issues that people bring to therapy far more than wanting help following an affair.'
Is that an issue when it comes to working through difficult feelings after infidelity?
'Not necessarily,' says Hilda. 'If a couple have the emotional intelligence to recognise that the affair was a symptom of bigger problems within the relationship and have committed to staying together and working at fixing them, then they may well be able to do that without therapy.'
Whether your marriage has been threatened by infidelity in the past, or you find yourself nodding along to some of the emotional motives for women to stray, the best cure for a lull in your relationship is to talk about it — and seek help if you are not satisfied.

Austin City Council passes budget, adds 30 new APD officers
Photo Credit: Ella Williams | Daily Texan Staff
Published on September 16, 2019 at 12:08 am
By Lauren Girgis
Thirty officer positions will be added to the Austin Police Department, following City Council's approval of the city budget for the 2019-2020 fiscal year Tuesday.
APD Chief of Staff Troy Gay said APD currently has over 100 vacancies within the department. He said APD plans to fill these vacancies and add the extra 30 officers approved by City Council within the next 18 months.
"Our department has implemented and established a very robust recruiting and training schedule that we have provided to (City) Council," Gay said. "These positions will be recruited throughout this fiscal year and (we) anticipate (them) to be within our department in the (2020-2021) fiscal year."
Gay said while 20 of the new officers will be patrol officers, other positions include supervisors, corporals and detectives. He said APD will begin the process of filling those positions Oct. 1, but the officers will not be on the streets right away.
"As with any growing department and city with (hundreds) of new residents coming into the metroplex area, safety is critical," Gay said.
Gay said APD has not yet established where the 20 patrol officers will be stationed, but there is potential they could be in West Campus, Riverside or North Campus.
"It could be that they are equally spread throughout the city, or if we're having a rise in crime in one particular area then we may have more officers go to a particular area," Gay said. "But (it) is a little bit too early to really establish where those positions will go."
Gay said it is important for the recruitment process to begin as soon as possible since the 20 patrol officers will have to go through the police training academy, which typically takes eight months. The remaining positions will be promoted from within the department.
"Our department is committed not only to safety but also our residents feeling safe," Gay said. Sukyi McMahon, board chair and director of operations at the Austin Justice Coalition, said she believes the money going towards the new positions could be directed elsewhere. The coalition is a grassroots organization advocating for political involvement and criminal justice reform, according to their website.
"Our stance has always been that we'd like to do better before we do more at APD," McMahon said. "There are just different areas that can be invested in that are public safety issues but don't necessarily need to involve the police."
McMahon said a larger mental health response is needed in Austin, and it does not necessarily have to involve police presence.
Nursing freshman Alondra Barquera said she would like to see more officers patrolled in areas near campus where manystudents live and work.
"Just to see more policemen around, I (would) feel secure and know that if something does come up, (I) would feel safe having someone right there," Barquera said.

Capitals beat Bruins in showdown between NHL's top two teams

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tom Wilson and Zdeno Chara traded punches, the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins exchanged scoring chances and goals and a showdown between the NHL's top two teams more than lived up to its billing.
T.J. Oshie scored twice in under four minutes and John Carlson got the go-ahead goal in the third to extend Washington's longstanding domination of Boston with a 3-2 victory Wednesday night in a thrilling back-and-forth game between two hockey heavyweights.
"Both teams were flying around, going that extra step to hit someone all the time," Carlson said. "It was a fun game. It was fun to play in. Still not playoffs, but it was a nice way to get into it after the performance we had on Monday."
Each of these teams laid an egg in a loss Monday night, but the Capitals avoided the slide currently befalling the Bruins. Boston has lost four in a row with three of those defeats coming in regulation.
"We've got to keep going," Chara said. "I think it's easy to get frustrated. We realize it was obviously a good hockey team we played tonight. It was a good hockey game. We did a lot of things well. We've just got to continue to perform and keep getting better."
The Capitals have won 16 of their past 17 games against the Bruins. It's a stretch that dates to December 2014 during which Boston won only a close game last Super Bowl Sunday.
"These last couple years has been a grind," said Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby, who made 30 saves. "They have a tough team to play against. Our team usually plays better against teams like that, teams that work hard, play an honest, hard game structurally. It's fun for us to play in those games."
This one was supposed to be more fun than a typical regular-season game. These teams entered with the most points in the league, Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin trailed only David Pastrnak in the goal-scoring race, the Bruins are coming off another trip to the Stanley Cup Final and Washington won its first title in 2018.
"It's always fun to play (when) the two best teams right now in the league play against each other," Ovechkin said. "You can see how tough the game was. We play hard, they play hard. It's always nice to get two points. We knew it's not going to be easy game because they have a very good team out there. It was a challenge for us."
After all the talk about this being a mid-December measuring stick for a couple of perennial playoff contenders, the skill level matched the hype.
Pastrnak ripped a perfect shot over Braden Holtby's left shoulder midway through the first for his league-best 26th of the season. It looked like the Bruins had a two-goal lead on a Patrice Bergeron power-play goal, but Capitals coach Todd Reirden challenged for offside and video review showed Jake DeBrusk was into the zone just before the puck.
"I kind of knew it, though, as soon as I saw the replay," DeBrusk said. "It was one of those things where it had no effect on the play, but obviously it's not a goal."
Oshie, who had just one goal in his previous 10 games, made the most of nothing but empty ice around him to score off his own rebound on the power play early in the second. Soon after, he turned Bruins defenseman Connor Clifton into a human pylon and beat Jaroslav Halak with a backhander for a highlight-reel goal.
"It felt pretty lucky for the puck to squeak through there," Oshie said. "You just try to put it upstairs with a couple sticks on you so happy it went in.
Kuraly and Carlson traded goals, and these two rivals traded shoves and unpleasantries plenty before the final buzzer. They meet again two days before Christmas.
NOTES: Bruins D Torey Krug went to the X-ray room after the game. … Halak allowed three goals on 25 shots. … Carlson now has 45 points in 33 games, which is the second-most among defensemen over the past 40 season behind only Al MacInnis' 47 in 1990-91 with Calgary. … The Bruins went 0 for 5 on the power play and are 2 for their last 25. … Clifton was in the Bruins lineup because D John Moore is being eased back from a lengthy absence and will play the second half of their back-to-back. … Referee Jon McIsaac left the game in the third after a collision with Ovechkin.
Bruins: Tuukka Rask is expected to start the second half of their back-to-back Thursday at the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Capitals: Embark on their fathers and mentors trip with their next game Saturday at Tampa Bay.

June Astrology and Aspects
The featured aspect this June is an electric trine between Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries. Forming across the Zodiac from 20º Aries to 20º Leo, this aspect peaks from June 21 – 27, but it will flavour the weeks leading up to it with excitement and a sense of possibility.
This is the third time Jupiter and Uranus have formed this dynamic aspect. The first time was in September 2014, from 14º–15º Aries/Leo, and the second time in late February/early March 2015, again at 14º–15º Aries/Leo.
Jupiter brings luck, gifts, and opportunities. It describes the rewards you receive for your efforts, as well as those magical moments where you seem to be in the right place at the right time. Uranus shakes up the status quo and invites you to explore exciting alternatives. Uranus demands that you resist tradition and routine and instead experiment with a fresh and unique approach.
Together, Jupiter and Uranus create an energising aspect that may motivate you to take a meaningful leap of faith. Ebertin, in The Combination of Stellar Influences, describes this combination of planets as "optimism, a lucky chance, blissful realisation." (1) He also notes that they can bring "the ability to have fortunate ideas and to realise them." According to Ebertin, probable manifestations of Jupiter and Uranus include "fortunate turns in life, a sudden change in destiny, and successful speculation."
To see how this aspect may trigger your life, locate the houses that hold the degrees of 20º Aries and 20º Leo. The topics associated with those houses are the areas in your life where you can benefit from any bright ideas and breakthroughs that emerge from this lively pairing.
Typically, these two houses will have some themes in common because they connect via the 120º trine aspect. For instance, you might have the sign Aries in the 7th house or on the Descendant and Leo in the 11th house. Similar themes between these two chart sectors involve relationships with others, including social, personal, and professional contacts. If you have Aries on the MC or in the 10th house and Leo in the 2nd house, common themes between these houses would be career and work issues and the income and value (2nd house) derived from your 10th-house role.
As this is the third in a three-part process, June may bring completion or a sense of achievement regarding goals and projects that you first connected with in September 2014, when this configuration began.
This exciting angle between Jupiter and Uranus is energised repeatedly by other planets — Mars, the Sun, and Venus — throughout June.
June 5 and 9: Mars
Mars in Gemini leads the charge, making a sextile to Jupiter on June 5th and a sextile to Uranus on June 9th. The month may start with a bang, or a surge in energy that drives you to take on a new challenge. Confidence and determination may help you overcome any previous barriers to progress.
June 8 and 10: Sun
The Sun in Gemini follows, repeating the same sextile aspects — to Jupiter on June 8th and Uranus on June 10th. New forms of self-expression may emerge, or you might be inspired to implement an innovative project. The need to be authentic and to express more of your true self may help you overcome any fear that's held you back.
June 28 and July 1: Venus
Venus is moving slowly through Leo, in anticipation of her upcoming retrograde, which starts on July 24th. Venus' involvement with Jupiter and Uranus, this time via a trine to Uranus on June 28th and a conjunction with Jupiter on July 1st, can add a magnetic quality. Powers of attraction may be heightened or you may be blessed with support and encouragement for a quirky or independent dream.
Two other planetary shifts are worth noting as you contemplate the month ahead.
Mercury Direct: June 11
Mercury in Gemini, currently retrograde, will station direct on June 11th. For the remainder of the month, Mercury will retrace his steps through Gemini, gathering up forgotten ideas or helping to remake connections that have been neglected.
In the days immediately following a retrograde Mercury stationing direct can bring second chances on recently missed opportunities or help you catch up on unfinished business. I like to use this influence in my business to follow up on leads and projects, or discussions that have stalled. Often times, a change in circumstance reveals a revised, and usually better, strategy.
Saturn into Scorpio: June 15
Saturn retrogrades back into Scorpio for one last trek through this intense and probing sign. Saturn is in Scorpio from June 15th to September 18th, giving you one last season (summer in the Northern hemisphere; winter in the Southern hemisphere) to tie up any loose ends relating to the Saturn-in-Scorpio cycle, which began back in October 2012. This adds an air of completion, or possibly a sense of urgency.
Take stock of what you've achieved since October 2012 and what goals remain unfinished. Can you reassess how you use your time to help you create closure or a sense of achievement for something important now?
Generally speaking, June is a month during which the planets mostly move through yang signs, especially Gemini and Leo. Yang, or masculine-toned, signs tend to be outgoing, expressive, and active. They want to get things done, initiate forward movement, or take a stand. May you too be inspired to put plans into action under the vibrant skies of June.
