When we arrived in Paris we heard about this exhibition that was going to open to the public in a couple of days. Of course we would want to see it but we were sure we would never get in. From all we heard, getting into the Leonardo show in London was quite difficult with all the people who wanted to go. It was a total surprise when we came to the Louvre the opening morning of the exhibition and walked right in.
The interest may build or maybe it is the idea of a whole exhibition focused on a single work makes people feel that it will be boring or that they will only see one work by the Master and it will be too scholarly. This in fact is not the case. Aside from Leonardo's painting of St. Anne you have one of the full size cartoons for the picture from the National Gallery in London. As an aside, in the 1960's I saw the Cartoon at Burlington House. Then the cartoon was put up for sale and amid fears that it would leave the country it was acquired by the National Gallery in London. With all the publicity that the sale brought there were huge lines to see it, while there had been none before.
The exhibition is wonderful. We were treated to 22 drawings by Leonardo lent by Her Majesty the Queen which directly related to the St. Anne. Most of these are limbs and fragments of garment. One of the best, if not the best, of the drawings was not lent by the Queen but by the Metropolitan Museum. It shows the head of the virgin and in context absolutely blew me away.
Comparing this head with versions done by followers of the Master is an education in itself. The differences are so obvious that one feels like an instant expert!
I love the fact that the exhibition is totally focused and commences with St. Anne, the Virgin and Christ Child as an ensemble through the ages before Leonardo, then most of the show is about the masterpiece itself.
In fact, Leonardo never finished the St. Anne and had worked on it from 1503 until his death in 1519. During that time he had many changes of mind and many students to record them. As a result we can follow the artist's thought process during these years. The most obvious change is the reversal of the figures in the composition and then there are changes in the attitude of St. Anne. We also get frequent radical and less radical changes in the background of the painting.
The picture has been painstakingly cleaned and restored after years of research and analysis. Of course, this led to serious disagreements such as whether paint added later, possibly by the master, should be kept or cleaned off. The restoration was finished very shortly before the opening of the exhibition and I could imagine quite a bit of pressure to finally get it done. The result, however, in my opinion, is pleasing and the luminosity of the picture and its myriad of details has all been brought to the fore.
After reaching the St. Anne itself we see a brief video about the development of Leonardo's composition.
There are other related works such as Leonard's Madonna of the Rocks which is in the Louvre collection. There is also the contemporary copy of the Mona Lisa which caused a great sensation after the Prado had it cleaned it and discovered it's close relationship with the original. In my opinion, the picture has not been well served by the overzealous work done on it.

The final segment of the exhibition is devoted to the influence that the painting has had since Leonardo starting with Michelangelo and ending with Max Ernst.
As you have read here before I want exhibitions to be tightly focused with the material presented bringing me to a total understanding of the subject at hand and I found the exhibition most satisfying. I was only sorry that I would not have time to return to see it again.

"Malignant" is the latest creation from "Conjuring" universe architect James Wan ("Aquaman," "Furious 7"). The film marks director Wan's return to his roots with this new original horror thriller.
In the film, Madison is paralyzed by shocking visions of grisly murders, and her torment worsens as she discovers that these waking dreams are in fact terrifying realities.
"Malignant" stars Annabelle Wallis ("Annabelle," "The Mummy"), Maddie Hasson (YouTube's "Impulse," TV's "Mr. Mercedes"), George Young (TV's "Containment"), Michole Briana White (TV's "Black Mafia Family," "Dead to Me"), Jacqueline McKenzie ("Palm Beach," TV's "Reckoning"), Jake Abel (TV's "Supernatural," the "Percy Jackson" films) and Ingrid Bisu ("The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It," "The Nun").
Wan ("Aquaman," "Furious 7") directed from a screenplay by Akela Cooper ("M3GAN," upcoming "The Nun 2"), story by Wan & Ingrid Bisu and Cooper. The film was produced by Wan and Michael Clear, with Eric McLeod, Judson Scott, Bisu, Peter Luo, Cheng Yang, Mandy Yu and Lei Han serving as executive producers.
Behind the scenes, Wan was joined by his frequent collaborators, director of photography Don Burgess and editor Kirk Morri ("Aquaman," "The Conjuring 2"), production designer Desma Murphy (art director, "Aquaman," "Furious 7"), as well as costume designer Lisa Norcia ("Insidious: The Last Key"). The music is by Joseph Bishara, who has composed the score for all seven films in "The Conjuring" Universe, among many others.
New Line Cinema Presents, In Association With Starlight Media Inc. and My Entertainment Inc., An Atomic Monster Production, a James Wan Film, "Malignant," will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures on September 10, 2021 in theaters nationwide and on HBO Max via their Ad-Free plan in 4K UHD, HDR10, and Dolby Vision on supported devices; it will be available on HBO Max for 31 days from theatrical release.
"Malignant" has been rated R for strong horror violence and gruesome images, and for language.

If the first command in a macro is the [name] tag, the text that follows it will be displayed as the name of the macro on the EZAD button.
This is another one of those features that probably only a minority will use, but those that do will love it. Let's say you have a notecard loaded with a lot of macros. And let's say you used the [name] tag to give (at least some of) the macros names for the buttons. Well, in version 1.2.1, you will be able to use those macros without searching for it and clicking the button. All you have to do is say /99n MacroName, and the macro with the name, "MacroName" will play. Be careful not to give macros duplicate names.
For instance, if the name of the macro is "Wave", you will be able to simply say: /99n wave and the Wave macro will play. Please note that these commands are not sensitive to capitalization. Remember it's /99n and then the name. That 'n' is important.

Today's post focuses on what I think is my absolute favourite foundation of all time. This is a big title to give a foundation as I try so many different ones, but this one never lets me down. The foundation I am talking about is the cult favourite MAC Face and Body foundation. This is a staple foundation in most makeup artist's kits and is used on many catwalk models. I have used it for many years and even when I am trying others I always come back to it. So today I thought I would write a little review and explain why I like it so much and why it works perfectly for my skin.
MAC describe it as "A lightweight foundation that delivers a natural satin finish and sheer coverage" and this is exactly what it is. Firstly, if you are someone who likes full coverage then you will not enjoy this foundation. It has a very sheer coverage, which is actually why I like it so much. It is like fresh air on your face. You genuinely cannot feel it when you have applied it. I cannot stand it when I feel the foundation on my face. For that reason, I do not like MAC Studio Fix foundation. I feel like I am wearing a mask. This foundation is buildable so you can build it up to a medium coverage in the places you need it. I tend to add a layer of this all over my face and then add concealer to the areas I want more coverage.
It has a satin finish so people with oily skin need to apply a good setting powder on top. I apply my powder just to my T-zone. I find most powders work fine, be it loose powder or pressed.
This foundation lives up to most of these claims although I wouldn't say it lasts up to 8 hours. I usually find after a day at work it has rubbed of my nose a little, but on the whole, it still looks great. With regards to water resistance I have not tested this as I do not wear any makeup when I go swimming or to the beach.
It is available in a good range of colours with 15 shades for cool to warm toned skin. I wear the shade N2.
It has a very watery consistency so you have to give it a really good shake before you use it. For years I have used it with a kabuki brush and buffed it into my skin, but recently I watched a YouTube video and it changed my whole application process. I now apply it to my face using my fingers and tap it into my skin. I then massage it into the face. It makes it look amazing. Completely flawless. And as clichéd as it sounds it really does just look like skin, my skin, but only better! It doesn't sit in my fine lines and blends really well. My powder, bronzer and blusher all apply on top lovely.
I cannot sing praise for this foundation enough. I just LOVE it. And to still be loving it after maybe 3 or 4 years of use shows you how good it really is. My skin is quite dry with a slight oily T-Zone. This foundation works perfectly on my skin and looks great. Very natural and lightweight. It is not too expensive at £24.50 and the bottle lasts a long time.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know in the comments box if you have tried it or if you have similar foundations you love to use.

This BioProvince (as defined by Armen Takhtajan) includes the broad expanse of territory extending from the western and southwestern foothills of the Verkhoyansk Range eastwards to the Sea of Fotsk and the Bering Sea, but excludes Kamchatka and the extreme northern territories that lie within the Arctic BioProvince. The climate is strongly continental with anticyclonic weather dominating much of the year. The summers are very hot (up to +40°C) while winters are bitterly cold (down to -62°C in Central Yakutia), but snow cover is usually only moderate to thin. The average annual temperature is below freezing. All this leads to the preservation of permafrost, which is a major factor in the distribution of vegetation. Annual precipitation ranges from 400 to 600 mm in the western part, gradually decreasing to 200 mm eastward. The geology is complex but most of BioProvince lies on the Siberian Precambrian platform. In Central Yakutia there are thick alluvial deposits forming extensive plains. The flora includes a number of endemic genera including Gorodkovia and many endemic species. Central Yakutia is considered to be one of the centres of endemism in Siberia. Endemics here include Adenophora jacutica (Camanulaceae) and Polygonum amgense (Polygonaceae). The flora of eastern Siberia as a whole (including the mountains) consists of some 2,300 species with many endemics such as Artemisia czekanowskiana (Asteraceae), Caltha serotina (Ranunculaceae), Draba sambykii (Brassicaceae), Gastrolychnis angustifolia subsp. tenella, Juncus longirostris (Junaceae), Megadenia bardunovii, Oxytropis calva, O. leucantha (Fabaceae), Papaver variegatum (Papaveraceae), Potentilla jacutica (Rosaceae), Salix saposhnikovii (Salicaceae), Senecio lenensis (Asteraceae), Thymus evenkiensis (Lamiaceae) and Viola alexandroviana (Violaceae).


This category is a bit of a yawn, though it may have set a record for the shortest names of the films they are associated with. The nomination list is almost a lazy one. There are the obvious nominees (Larson and Ronen), the old favorites (Blanchett and Lawrence) and the nod to the old professional that it is time to honor because of a great performance (Rampling).
Cate Blanchett has already won two Oscars, and looked like a possible winner again. But after a flurry of awards at the start of the awards seasons, Carol's momentum has become as evanescent as the film's tone. It's a good performance, but just not strong enough to snag a win over Larson and Ronen.
Jennifer Lawrence's nod for Joy seems like a filler, or the good performance that rounds out the other four more sure nominations. She got good reviews, but again, it's not strong enough to even come close to winning. It's a sign of the love the Academy has for her—one win, four nominations, and she's just 25.
Saoirse Ronen gave the most touching, subtle performance of the year in Brooklyn, and it will become a model of understatement and beauty. That's the problem—it's the finest performance of the year, in both senses of the word. It's the best of the year, IMHO, and "fine" as opposed to "coarse." Her eyes rather than her words often tell the story, and to watch her develop her sense of confidence over the course of the film is to see a person blossom and unfold like a flower. It will likely be studied for years. Ronen is one of our finest young actresses and promises years of acting delight.
This year's winner is going to be Brie Larson for Room. It's not quite on the level of Ronen's in Brooklyn, but the story is more dramatic, and Larson gets to have the "big moments" of stress, anger and frustration that makes for a more attention-getting performance. It's a very good performance, to be sure. It's just that Ronen's is a step above.

My kids are huge fans of pizza. I don't think I have met a kid who is not, yet. I like making home-made pizza because I can make different flavors. I have found a quick way to making custom flavored pizzas. I use ready-made flat breads (naans or pitas) as my pizza crust and put on our favorite toppings. In my case, the easiest toppings available are leftovers from last night's dinner: Jerk Chicken with BBQ sauce, Hummus as a sauce base with shredded rotisserie chicken or roasted sweet peppers, shredded Coconut Curry Chicken or Chicken Tikka Masala. I'm guessing Indian Curried Mashed Eggplant would also make a nice saucy topping. Top all of these with a generous sprinkling of shredded cheese. Any curry or any saucy dish will do as a topping. Feel free to add onion rings if you'd like, or any roasted veggie. Just make everything bite-sized and you've got yourself some unique personal-sized pizzas for any meal or snack.
This pizza is a quick meal if starting out with store bought rotisserie chicken and store bought tikka masala sauce. Feel free to use leftover Tikka Masala dishes, either home made or take out. Great for a weeknight meal.

Whistler Blackcomb announces 2017-18 pass pricing
Epic Pass includes WB for first time, while season's pass price drops considerably

Whistler Blackcomb has released its lineup of passes for the 2017/18 ski season, including Vail Resorts' multi-resort Epic Pass.
For the first time, Whistler Blackcomb will be included as part of the Epic Pass, which offers unlimited access to Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Park City, Heavenly, Northstar, Kirkwood, Wilmot, Afton Alps, Mt. Brighton, Perisher (2018 ski season) and Arapahoe Basin, along with limited access to 30 European resorts. It's priced at $1,117.
""We're excited to offer our guests more options than ever before with the introduction of the Epic Pass to our season pass lineup," said Dave Brownlie, chief operating officer of Whistler Blackcomb, in a release. "While we will still offer Whistler Blackcomb specific products, such as the Unlimited Season Pass and EDGE Card options, we're thrilled to give our guests the option of true worldwide access that offers skiing at 45 iconic resorts, including coast-to-coast skiing in North America."
Whistler Blackcomb season's passes have been priced at over $100 more than the Epic Pass. For $1,229, passholders are given unlimited access to Whistler Blackcomb, along with deals on dining, retail and Snow School programs. The pass also grants 50-per-cent off winter lift tickets at any of Vail's 13 ski resorts. Additionally, those who purchase a season's pass before April 9 will receive two discounted bring-a-friend lift tickets as well as a Peak 2 Peak 360 summer sightseeing pass.
As expected, the price of a season's pass came down considerably — from $1,649, and from $1,439 for an early-bird pass — following Vail's takeover of Whistler Blackcomb this summer. Historically, the ski-industry giant has come in and undercut pass prices at the resorts it acquires, boosting skier visits, while lift tickets and retail pricing have typically gone up. At Park City, for example, walk-up ticket prices were around USD$105 before Vail came onboard. This winter, they're priced at $139.
Once again, residents of Canada and Washington State will be able to purchase Edge Cards offering five or 10 days of access to Whistler Blackcomb, as well as Vail's destination resorts in Colorado, Utah and Lake Tahoe. A 10-day Edge Card with holiday restrictions is available for $689, or $759 for unrestricted access. A five-day card comes in at $399 with holiday restrictions, and $439 for unrestricted access. Edge cardholders also receive discounts on lodging, at select retail locations and Snow School programs, and unlimited early-season skiing if they buy before April 9.
Whistler Blackcomb, in conjunction with the Whistler Chamber of Commerce, will announce details on the Spirit Pass in September.

US lawmakers seek probe into terror finance links between two prominent Muslim groups and LeT
WASHINGTON, Nov 15:Three American lawmakers have asked the US State Department to investigate possible terror financing links between two prominent American Muslim organisations and terrorist groups like Lashkar-a-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.
The three Congressmen – Jim Banks, Chuck Fleischmann and Randy Weber—in a letter to the State Department Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Nathan Sales, said, "Specifically of concern are the innocuous sounding organisation, Helping Hands for Relief and Development (HHRD) and their sister organisation, the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)."
While these groups sell themselves as "innocuous" Muslim civic society organisations, they are, in fact, arms of one of the most radical networks in the world, said the three Congressmen.
They said that there was no doubt that the ICNA and HHRD are part of Jamaat-e-Islami's international network.
Indeed, the evidence is overwhelming and extensive, they asserted in the letter dated November 1.
Referring to a series of documentary evidences in support of their statement, the three US Congressmen said that they believe the documented facts would give a reasonable person good reason to investigate just how extensive and systemic these ties are.
"The nexus of charitable networks and terrorist groups is well known and pernicious. This is particularly important to investigate, as the ICNA has received over ten million dollars in government grants, even from the current Administration," they said.
"The ongoing tension and violence in Kashmir is a threat to peace and stability for both India and Pakistan. It is clearly in the best interests of the US to keep peace in the region and not fan the flames of war. It is thus vital that the US do whatever it can to stop the flow of any and all funds that we can to terrorist organisations operating in the region," they wrote.
"Thus, we ask that you use the full powers of your office to further investigate the potential terror finance links between groups like the ICNA and HHRD, and US and UN Security Council designated terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen," the three lawmakers said in their letter to Sales.

A FEW QUOTES
"[Elvis] came to the session, picked the songs, and if something in the arrangement was changed, he was the one to change it. Everything was worked out spontaneously. Nothing was really rehearsed. Consciously or unconsciously, everyone imitated him." – Bones Howe
"You have no idea how great he is, really you don't. You have no comprehension, it's absolutely impossible. I can't tell you why he's so great, but he is. He's sensational." – Phil Spector
"I don't think he ripped them off. I think once something has been exposed, anyone can add or take from it if they like. He was just so great, so popular, and so hot, and so anything that he played became a hit." – B.B. King
"He was an integrator. Elvis was a blessing. They wouldn't let black music through. He opened the door for black music." – Little Richard
"Elvis was a great man and did more for civil rights than people know. To say he was a racist is an insult to us all." – Ernest Withers
"The only white boy that had soul—who could sing as good as any of them—was Elvis When it comes to singing, nobody had everything like Elvis. I'll tell the world, Elvis was the greatest of all time." – Muhammad Ali
"The first time that I appeared on stage, I really didn't know what all the yelling was about. I didn't realize that my body was moving. It's a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said, 'What'd I do?' And he said, 'Whatever it is, go back and do it again.' " – Elvis Presley
"Elvis is the greatest cultural force in the 20th century. He introduced the beat to everything, music, language, clothes, it's a whole new social revolution [and] the '60s come from it." – Leonard Bernstein

Having heard the music of Light Garden many times, each performance is just as captivating as the last. The combination of the guitar, mandolin and harmonium create such an amazing atmosphere along with the use of beautiful voices and the unusual technique- overtone singing. Being unable to favor one song, i find that each song is an enrollment of great talent and simply wonderful ideas that are performed very professionally.


A buy-to-let landlord has been handed a two-year suspended sentence, ordered to pay more than £4,000 and given 100 hours of community service after failing to maintain gas appliances at a rental property in King's Lynn.
Norwich Magistrates' Court heard how the property was inspected last year by the Housing Standards team at the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk, following a complaint from a tenant concerning a faulty gas boiler and gas oven. Both were found to be in a poor state of repair and considered unsafe, and so the matter was reported to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Inspectors from the HSE and Gas Safe Register later inspected the property where they found a gas oven to be at risk and the gas central heating boiler to be unsafe to use.
The landlord, Steven Ladell, had failed in his duty to have the gas appliances regularly inspected or maintained, and failed to provide a Landlords Gas Safety Certificate for a number of years, all of which are legal requirements.
Additionally, the landlord failed to comply with an Improvement Notice issued on 13 July 2017 which required he take action to deal with these issues.
Ladell of Great Harwood, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to breaching an Improvement Notice served by the HSE under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 as well as two regulations of the of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
He received a 20-week sentence, suspended for two years, and was ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid community work as well as pay full costs of £4,146.34.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Paul Unwin said: "Landlords must ensure gas appliances at their tenanted properties are checked by a Gas Safe Registered engineer at least every 12 months, and are maintained in a safe condition.
Cllr Adrian Lawrence was keen to point out that the various regulations concerning the private rented sector are there to "ensure tenants' safety in their homes".
He commented: "This case very clearly demonstrates the seriousness of the breaches and is a reminder to private sector landlords of their obligation to ensure gas appliances they provide are checked and inspected on an annual basis.

It takes a lot of research to plan a 4-day birthday celebration. On one of the days I wanted my guests to enjoy an authentic lunch and real Greek atmosphere. We found the perfect place - Elias Fish Taverna at Cape Sounio. This simple and charming taverna has a splendid view across the water to the Temple to Poseidon, the ancient god of the sea, and is half an hour's scenic drive from The Margi.
The food was really amazing at Elias Fish Taverna. So authentic! It included Greek salad, octopus, white bait, tzatsiki and fresh caught fish.
The fish was really good!
We spent one leisurely day at the Astir Beach Club just a stroll from The Margi.

DECEASED will release their next full-length album "Ghostly White" through Hells Headbangers in 2013 on both CD and LP formats. It will feature the following tracks: 'The Shivers', 'In A Quiet Town', 'Mr's Allardyce', 'The Germ Of Distorted Lore', 'To Serve The Insane', 'Poor Jessica's Drifted Away' and 'A Palpitation's Warning'. Founding frontman King Fowley had the following to say about the album: "This record will be a very produced musical journey that will capture the complete morbid side of DECEASED. If we do what we are setting out to do, it will ooze of dark melody without forgetting the rough aggressive edges and catchiness in the songwriting that we've kept in our sound since day one. There will be a complete haunting aura throughout the record! A few songs will be lengthy tracks, including a 15-minute ride. Fitting interludes will lock in the actual tracks, and little jolts of madness will also rear their ugly heads from time to time. This is a musical adventure we've been waiting to take, and now's the time. Get out your woolen overcoats, the funeral is about to begin…." Hells Headbangers recently also reissued DECEASED's "Supernatural Addiction" on CD, with an LP version coming on January 23, 2013, featuring five bonus demo tracks ('Dark Chilling Heartbeat', 'Frozen Screams', 'A Very Familiar Stranger', 'The Premonition' and 'The Hanging Soldier') and extensive liner notes from King Fowley.
