Why The Great App Unbundling Trend Is Already In Trouble
Tech companies' thirst for more of our home screens may be starting to backfire.

Just a year or two ago, some of the biggest mobile apps were splitting themselves apart.
Facebook moved private messages into a separate app and released several smaller-scale experiments such as Slingshot and Rooms. Dropbox released an app for photo sharing called Carousel, and Foursquare cleaved the game-like elements of its location-tagging service into a dedicated app called Swarm. Pundits declared that the "great unbundling" of apps had arrived.
But like many an explosive trend before it, app unbundling (or "constellations") is now starting to contract. Dropbox will shut down Carousel next year and bring some of its features into the main Dropbox app. Facebook is closing its Creative Labs unit that created several single-purpose apps, and its standalone Paper reading app hasn't seen an update since March. Microsoft is shuttering Sunrise, the calendar app it purchased earlier this year, and will fold its features into Outlook. Meanwhile, Uber has been stuffing new use cases (such as Uber Eats) into its existing app, rather than creating multiple new apps from scratch.
Why has unbundling reversed itself so quickly? There are a few possible explanations, but also one overarching reason: Too often, the trend didn't benefit the user more than an all-in-one app does.
Harder Than It Sounds
Taylor Davidson, whose company, Foresight, helps build financial models for startups, was skeptical of app unbundling even as it was proliferating last year. In an August 2014 blog post, he noted that single-use apps from major players weren't performing especially well.
In an interview, Davidson says Facebook's Paper, Slingshot, and Poke are all perfect examples of the company trying to capture popular behavior that was happening beyond Facebook. Paper was a response to news reading apps like Flipboard, while Slingshot and Poke were attempts to pull off something like Snapchat. None of these came anywhere near having a shot at dethroning their inspirations.
"Most unbundled apps aren't built because people want them," Davidson says. "They're built because they're driven by a corporate reason, and not a user-driven one."
R.I.P. Dropbox Carousel
The same could be said of Dropbox's Carousel, which alongside the email client Mailbox was part of the company's push to increase consumer cloud storage use through killer apps. Although Carousel offered some novel ways to share photos among private groups, the attempt to steal photo sharing away from social networks didn't see much adoption; most people just kept using the main Dropbox app instead.
"You don't see people caring about [sharing] enough as a single feature, in order to provide the base for an app like that to really work," Davidson says. With Dropbox's mission shifting away from consumer storage and more toward workplace collaboration, Carousel no longer serves the business. Both it and Mailbox will shut down early next year.
The Ever-Expanding App
One of the main justifications for app unbundling is that it reduces complexity and brings greater focus. But if the alternative is having twice or three times as many apps on the home screen, that's not really any simpler.
"The argument of wanting to have discrete entry points that represent every bit of functionality that I would want to access is less about how things are packaged and more about how easy they are to access," says Javier Soltero, Microsoft's corporate vice president of Outlook. "And proliferation of icons is just not a good thing."
Fortunately, iOS and Android are getting better at providing more entry points into apps. Soltero notes that Outlook users mostly interact with their calendars through notifications, and only open the app itself for email. To take that a step further, if you can create a calendar event with Siri, answer invites from the Notification Center, and track upcoming events through a widget, there aren't a lot of scenarios left where a full calendar app is even necessary.
Outlook in its many forms
But just in case, Outlook is working on support for 3D Touch, the pressure-sensitive display technology on Apple's latest iPhones. From the home screen, users will be able to press a little harder on the Outlook icon, and jump directly into the calendar instead of email.
Davidson believes this is just the beginning. With the rise of extensions and deep linking, apps will become a lot better at talking to one another without being coded specifically to do so. That means another primary motivation for unbundling—being able to pass users between multiple apps from the same company–will become less of a distinct advantage.
"Apple and Google . . . they've changed the rules of how people connect with apps, which means in many ways the core rationale for unbundling is less popular," Davidson says.
To Bundle Or Not To Bundle
Even if app unbundling isn't as successful as the industry expected, stuffing too much functionality into one app has its risks. More features means a larger install size, slower load times, and a greater chance some of those features will be overlooked by users. So app makers must still figure out where to draw the line.
Microsoft, for instance, has no plans to merge Outlook and Wunderlist, the to-do app it acquired last summer. The base of Wunderlist users is large enough, and the interaction model distinct enough, that combining the two would be "ill-advised," Soltero says. "There's only so much bundling you can do."
The idea of separating by usage model also explains why Foursquare booted check-ins, badges, and mayorships into Swarm. The main Foursquare app is more about providing local recommendations without any competitive elements. At the time of the split, only one in 20 people used the app for both purposes, spokeswoman Laura Covington says. There wasn't much reason to have a single app for two completely different uses.
Foursquare's Swarm
Noah Weiss, Foursquare's head of product, says the company regrets not doing more to educate users about the breakup, and making Swarm look more like Foursquare at the outset "to avoid change aversion." But the company appears to have recovered. Both Foursquare recommendations and Swarm check-ins are now happening at a higher rate than ever, on a monthly (and in many cases daily) basis.
Even Facebook, which is winding down several smaller, experimental apps, seems to be on the right track with Messenger. By separating it from the main Facebook app, Messenger has now become its own platform, with a chat-based personal assistant and tie-ins to third-party apps. Stuffing these features into Facebook proper might've added too much complexity.
In the long run, there's a chance that that the reversal of unbundling could again reverse itself in a way. With Google working on the concept of "app streaming," which lets users run apps over the Internet instead of installing them, the bundled app may again break down into individual components, beamed to our smartphones on-demand. "If you don't need to have the app installed behind it, unbundling becomes kind of moot," Foresight's Davidson says.
Sure, on some level that just means reinventing the web page. But wasn't the web–rather than an App Store–what Steve Jobs had in mind when Apple launched the iPhone, which didn't get native apps until a year after it debuted? The endless proliferation of apps, brought on by companies that want more and more of our home screens, might be the one thing that brings us full circle.

In the case of manufactured products, the goods that influenced the performance the most were vehicles, refined sugar, petrol, fuel oil, auto parts, motors for vehicles, shoes, transmitting and receiving devices. In relation to the basic products, the highlights were crude oil, soy chaff, poultry, beef and tobacco in leaves.
In comparison to July this year, there was a reduction in 11.4% in the exports daily average. There was drop in shipments in three categories of products.
The imports daily average, on the other hand, was of US$ 285.8 million, an increase in 11.8% in relation to August last year, influenced mainly by the purchases of optics and precision instruments, vehicles and pieces, steelworks, electro-electronic equipment; mechanical equipment, chemical and plastic products. In relation to July 2005, there was a drop in 0.8% in the imports average.
For the year's accumulated value, Brazilian exports have already yielded US$ 67.071 billion and imports added up to US$ 41.489 billion, resulting in a surplus favorable to Brazil of US$ 25.582 billion.

He told an audience of students, academics and journalists that there was a discrepancy between supply and demand for seats on flights from Indian airports to those in the UAE. The current number of 1,068 flights between the two countries with a weekly capacity of 168,000 seats does not to meet the demand. Dr Al Banna stressed that Indians were now the second largest ethnic group of visitors to Dubai in terms of hotel room occupancy.
This figure is set to grow with an increase of available seats on flights in both directions. Four years ago, he said, a business class seat from Delhi to Dubai cost approximately the equivalent in Indian rupees of US$1,000. Now it costs about US$2,000 because demand is rising but seat availability is still low By making a case in public for cheaper travel between India and the UAE to an audience of current and potential visitors to the Gulf, Dr Al Banna is setting the stage for fruitful negotiations on improving travel conditions in a bilateral air service agreement. Such negotiations are overdue and are expected to take place by mutual agreement.

Monadnock Menus on the radio!
Alex and Denise Meadows, one of our MM champions from Keene, visited Luca Paris on his radio show two weeks ago. We discussed MM, Denise's amazing MM-inspired recipes, the Keene Housing Buying Club, and rhubarb syrup seltzer water. Listen to the podcast of the show here!
We are on track to start up our new Friday route through Keene, Peterborough, Winchester, Richmond, Fitzwilliam, Jaffrey and Rindge in early July. The Wednesday delivery won't change at all, but buyers on the Keene-Peterborough corridor will soon have the option of ordering for either Wednesday OR Friday delivery.
Know any chefs south of Keene that could benefit from Monadnock Menus? Tell them about the new route, and direct them to www.monadnockmenus.org!
Archway Farm is a small family farm located in West Keene, right next to Stonewall Farm, and only 3 miles from downtown Keene.
Our focus is exclusively on raising pigs, in an ethical, sustainable, and affordable manner. We are a farrow-to-finish operation selling sausage to wholesale accounts, as well as custom hogs, piglets, and breeding stock.
All our pigs live continuously on pasture with access to shelter as the season dictates. During the warmer months we rotate pastures and plant forage crops so the pigs always have something new to root for.
We feed our pigs GMO free grain grown and milled in Massachusetts, supplemented with fruits & vegetables that the Community Kitchen cannot use and wholesome day-old bread from a local bakery.
Stonewall Farm was established in 1994 as a non-profit farm with an educational mission. The farm operates a certified organic dairy herd of Holsteins and Brown Swiss cows. Our milk has won awards for its consistently high milk quality and is a designated NH Dairy of Distinction. The milk is mostly sold to Organic Valley but we make an artisan raw milk Gouda cheese at the farm as well as plain, vanilla and maple yogurt (whole milk product). We also grow a variety of vegetables, herbs and cut flowers grown in our fields and greenhouses. We have Pick Your Own gardens and this season we will be growing transplants. Special orders can be taken for produce items as well. We also make maple syrup at the farm in our sugar house. The farm is free and open to the farm year round and is also a great venue to host business events, retreats, weddings, family celebrations, trainings and more!
Our farm was established in 2012 when we purchased our home and 10 wonderful acres. We have strived hard to create an environment that we are proud to have our animals live their lives in. We are continually working on new ways to improve the farm and the rewards far out way the long hours :) We invite people to stop on by and meet the ducks and see our operation.
Or check our facebook page for the latest updates!
Fresh Free Range Duck Eggs!!!!
Our duck flock is a mix of Indian Runner, Khaki Campbells, and Golden 300's. Our focus is on giving the animals a great quality of life where they are allowed to roam and explore while helping manage the bug and slug population.

Lay Opinion Testimony of a Police Officer In North Carolina
In State v. Freeman, 185 N.C. App. 408, 648 S.E.2d 876, 881-82 (2007), appeal dismissed, 362 N.C. 178, 657 S.E.2d 663 (Jan. 7, 2008), reconsideration denied, 362 N.C. 178, 657 S.E.2d 666 (Jan. 18, 2008), another panel of the Court held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting lay opinion testimony of a police officer that pills found on defendant were crack cocaine. In that case Police Officer Christopher Miller recovered a pill bottle which the defendant dropped upon being confronted by Officer Miller and other officers. Id. at 410, 648 S.E.2d at 879-80. "Inside the pill bottle, Officer Miller discovered a variety of white pills and believed that two of them were crack cocaine." Id. at 411, 648 S.E.2d at 880. At defendant's trial on the charge of possession of cocaine, Officer Miller was permitted, without objection, to testify that, in his opinion, two of the pills contained in the bottle were crack cocaine. Id. at 415, 648 S.E.2d at 882. In addition, an expert chemist testified "that she analyzed the pills and determined that they were cocaine." Id. As defendant did not object to Officer Miller's testimony, defendant argued on appeal that the trial court committed plain error in allowing Officer Miller to so testify. Id. at 414, 648 S.E.2d at 881. The Court said: Pursuant to Rule 701 of the North Carolina Rules of Evidence, "if the witness is not testifying as an expert, his testimony in the form of opinions or inferences is limited to those opinions or inferences which are (a) rationally based on the perception of the witness and (b) helpful to a clear understanding of his testimony or the determination of a fact in issue." N.C. Gen. Stat. 8C-1, Rule 701 (2005). "As long as the lay witness has a basis of personal knowledge for his opinion, the evidence is admissible." State v. Bunch, 104 N.C. App. 106, 110, 408 S.E.2d 191, 194 (1991) (holding that an officer's testimony concerning practices of drug dealers was admissible lay opinion as it was based on personal knowledge and helpful to the jury). Officer Miller testified that two of the pills in the pill bottle seized during defendant's arrest were crack cocaine and that he based his identification of the pills as crack cocaine on his extensive training and experience in the field of narcotics. Officer Miller, who had been with the police department for eight years at the time, testified that he had come into contact with crack cocaine between 500 and 1000 times. As Officer Miller's testimony on this issue was helpful for a clear understanding of his overall testimony and the facts surrounding defendant's arrest, the trial court did not abuse its discretion, much less commit plain error, in permitting Officer Miller to testify as to his opinion that the pills were crack cocaine. Defendant's argument, therefore, is overruled. Id. at 414-415, 648 S.E.2d at 881-82. In its analysis and discussion of the admissibility of Officer Miller's contention, the Court apparently did not consider the testimony of the expert chemist, only Officer Miller's personal knowledge based on his training and experience. Id. at 414, 648 S.E.2d at 881-82.

Owl Blog Post March 26th, 2021
Let's start off with.. Some Good News!
-Our State Test Town Hall was well attended and offered the opportunity for community conversation around our own values surrounding testing. Many different perspectives were shared and everyone left with some food for thought!
-First Grade Women's History Celebrations - students used padlet, written booklets, flipgrid, posterboards, jamboard to celebrate sheroes
-Student Council led the school in a mindfully themed morning meeting
-Students in PE learned about the Iditarod and the physical challenges of being a dog musher in the great Alaskan race at the beginning of March.
-2nd graders had a virtual cooking class where they made delicious healthy pasta salad with Shiloh Stephen's dad - Chef Thomas! They also did a diy science experiment and had a virtual field trip to the Bronx Children's Museum!
-5th Grade did a virtual field trip with a guest visitor - Katie Dunn who works at the National Archives. The students explored primary source documents connected to the Women's Suffrage Movement and the passing of the 19th Amendment. They gathered their learnings on a collaborative document. https://docs.google.com/document/d/16dNoaQtcGjucpwlu7Yl6NEB6xhEk8UyJlG-Wg4Z9sFo/edit
Also a group of 5th graders - about 20 of them - are proactively revising and editing our 5th grade family charter in light of some of the challenges we've been facing as a community and our goals to increase communication, for everyone to be heard and for folks to ask & receive help from one another (student engagement WIG)
-K teacher Denise celebrated International SEL Day with a bedtime read-aloud and a lunchtime encore of 100 Days Inside: This is a story about an only child navigating her new reality and BIG feelings during the stay-at-home orders during the pandemic. With the help of her mommy, she learns how to deal with the changes and her emotions amidst the stay-at-home orders.
As a reminder: another Hybrid Learning Opt-In window has been announced. Remote only families may indicate their interest in opting into hybrid learning by completing this survey between March 24th and April 7th. Please see this attached letter for further information. Take note that the window is not open yet and hybrid is not reflected as a choice on the survey at this time.
We wish everyone in our community a happy and healthy spring recess, as well as a happy holiday to all those celebrating in the coming weeks.
AmPark STEM
The sign up for the AmPark Morning STEM program with Casey and Matilda is here: https://forms.gle/urCqdyC6YJjzb1ve8
We are offering this morning program where students will be able to do STEM activities and chat in the morning before school. Students will be able to use any materials they have at home to participate!
When? 8:00-8:45, Tuesdays & Wednesdays
What dates? Weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from April 6th - April 28th
As a reminder the remote to hybrid opt-in window is open until April 7th. We do not yet have a start date for when students new to in-person learning will begin and remote instruction will continue until it is announced. Based on our current in-person numbers, classroom size, and staffing needs we do not anticipate being able to change from our A/B model to offer full-time in-person learning.
Thank you to all who attended our Town Hall Meeting for families on Tuesday of this week. As a reminder please know that the New York State ELA exam will be administered during the following testing window: April 19th - 29th. The New York State Math exam will be administered during the following testing window: May 3rd - May 14th.
The state has determined that exams will be administered in-person and that there will be no remote option. The tests will be administered in one session. Schools have the option to administer the second session of the test for their own assessment purposes. AmPark will not be administering a second session for either exam. Schools are not expected to bring students into the building to participate in the exams if the students are receiving entirely remote instruction during the testing windows. If remote only families would like for their child(ren) to participate, please reach out to Kelly at KLennon@schools.nyc.gov.
If your child is a hybrid learner and you would like to opt out of the exams, please send an email to Kelly at KLennon@schools.nyc.gov as soon as possible. It is most helpful to all of our students to have the most accurate information regarding testing numbers as soon as possible in order to reduce interruptions to instruction by scaling our testing windows, classroom locations, and staff members to the appropriate number of students testing.

Wu Guanzhong (ur. 29 sierpnia 1919 w Yixing, zm. 25 czerwca 2010 w Pekinie) – chiński malarz.

Życiorys
W latach 1937–1942 studiował w akademii sztuki w Hangzhou, gdzie jego nauczycielami byli Pan Tianshou oraz Lin Fengmian. Od 1942 do 1946 roku był wykładowcą wydziału sztuki Uniwersytetu Tsinghua. W latach 1946–1950 przebywał w Paryżu, gdzie studiował zachodnie malarstwo olejne na École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, zapoznając się wówczas z twórczością takich artystów jak Vincent van Gogh, Maurice Utrillo i Amedeo Modigliani. Od 1950 roku był wykładowcą Centralnej Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Pekinie. Prześladowany w okresie rewolucji kulturalnej, kiedy to jego malarstwo zostało potępione, a samego artystę zesłano na wieś. W latach 80. XX wieku malarstwo Wu zdobyło sobie międzynarodową sławę, jego obrazy doczekały się wówczas licznych światowych wystaw, m.in. w Hongkongu, Japonii, Singapurze i Stanach Zjednoczonych. W 1992 roku odbyła się retrospektywna wystawa jego prac w Muzeum Brytyjskim w Londynie, a w 1999 roku w Narodowym Muzeum Sztuki w Pekinie.

W swojej twórczości dokonał syntezy tradycyjnego chińskiego malarstwa tuszem (guohua) i zachodniego malarstwa olejnego. Nawiązując do klasycznych obrazów kreślonych mokrym tuszem na papierze, tworzył na poły abstrakcyjne obrazy, budując kompozycje przy pomocy długich linii oraz kropek. Był też autorem licznych esejów poświęconych malarstwu. Tekstem Huihuade xingshi mei z 1979 roku przyczynił się do rehabilitacji malarstwa abstrakcyjnego, zakazanego w okresie rewolucji kulturalnej.

Był oficerem francuskiego Orderu Sztuki i Literatury (1991).

Feds arrest 11 in alleged heroin, meth trafficking ring in North Sound
Special agent on major drug bust in North Sound
SEATTLE -- Officials say eleven people have been arrested on federal charges in connection with heroin and methamphetamine trafficking in the north Puget Sound region.
U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes says the arrests happened Tuesday after a six-month investigation.
She says search warrants also were served July 17 at thirty locations which netted 18 firearms, 10 pounds of heroin, 20 pounds of meth and over $500,000 in cash.
Hayes says among those arrested was 40-year-old Jose Verduzco Urias who has homes in Snohomish and Sedro-Wooley and is believed to be the local leader of the drug-trafficking ring.
It wasn't immediately known if he has obtained a lawyer.
DEA Special Agent in Charge Keith Weis of the Pacific Northwest region says removal of the group will thwart the flow of foreign-sourced heroin.
"Most of these groups that we've been working, we've linked them to heinous acts of violence, anywhere from drive by shootings to home invasions to murders. A lot of the drugs they are pushing out there are responsible for overdoses. We suffer three or more overdoses a day here in the Pacific NW," said SAC Weis.
COVID-19 two years later: First US case reported in Washington state


Can you believe that 2015 is only a day away? At this point, most people are asking themselves where the year went. Seriously, you JUST got in the habit of writing 2014 on your checks!
In order for your family to get the most out of the next 365 days, on New Year's Day, eating the right foods is essential. And as every Southerner knows, there are three primary New Year's foods: black-eyed peas for luck, pork for happiness and greens for riches. And here are the best recipes for each of them.
Soak black-eyed peas in cool water overnight or at least 6 hours. Rinse before using.
Heat butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, green pepper, and celery and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in soaked beans, then add chicken broth, Moore's Original Marinade, ham hock, thyme, oregano, salt & pepper, and cayenne to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover the pot for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, check the liquid level; if it's too soupy, cook with the lid off for another 15 minutes or so. If it's too thick, splash in a little more broth.
Add the greens, Moore's Original, hot sauce, 4 cups broth, and salt and pepper. Cover the pot and simmer until the greens are tender, about 30-45 minutes.
Be sure you and your family eat these on New Year's Day and watch the money, luck, and happiness come your way throughout 2015!

Q: Number of dots in an image I have an image which has plain dots scattered across. The dots are of the same size and they are solid (I can read the color to decide whether a point is inside or not). What is the most efficient algorithm to find the exact number of the dots?
I thought of Monte Carlo, but I don't know the sufficient number of random points that I should use. Any advice?
Edit: it's a white image that contains dots only.

A: This is good case for image processing algorithms.
For example, using OpenCV library, you could exploit the next approach:
If image format is color, convert it to gray scale (cvtColor)
Make image binary (pure black and white) with color inversion (cvThreshold with THRESH_BINARY_INV) to make white spots on the black background
Find connected components (findContours) - after that contours.size gives you number of dots
If you don't want to use any libraries, key point is connected components labeling
The simplest way to make CCL for small dots - using of Floodfill algorithm.
Make flood fill for background pixels, mark them  with 0.
Scan through all pixels. When you meet unmarked one (at X,Y), start new flood fill with next marker value K (1,2 etc).
After each floodfill return to the next coordinate (X+1,Y) and continue scanning.
The last K value is the number of spots.

K95 million for Dalitso Sailesi as Zambia's Lusaka Dynamos loses appeal case
By Maneno Chimulala
Nyasa Big Bullets midfielder Dalitso Sailesi
BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)—Dalitso Sailesi will pocket K95 million following the verdict by the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) in an appeal case in which Zambian club Lusaka Dynamos wanted the international quasi-judicial body to overturn the Fifa ruling.
While upholding the Fifa ruling, CAS has ordered Lusaka Dynamos to pay the former Nyasa Big Bullets player $128 675 (about K95 million) for breach of contract.
The dispute between Sailesi and the club has dragged for over three years.
The player's representative Felix Ngamanya Sapao confirmed the development in an interview with The Nation yesterday.
"We won. Lusaka Dynamos will have to pay the compensation and the Fifa payment stands," Sapao said as reported by The Nation.
According to Code of Sports-related Arbitration statutes, CAS rulings are final and Lusaka Dynamos have 31 days to pay Sailesi the compensation.
The statutes read: "The award, notified by the CAS Court Office, shall be final and binding. It may not be challenged by way of an action for setting aside."
Several foreign clubs, including Power Dynamos also from Zambia showed interest in the service of Sailesi after watching the player at the 2017 Cosafa Castle Cup in South Africa.
The midfielder then signed for Lusaka Dynamos in 2017 at K22 million with Bullets getting K17 million while the player's signing-on fee was K6 million.
He was expected to receive K1.4 million (Malawi kwacha) per month.
However, the club failed to fulfill its end of the deal, prompting the player to take up the matter with Fifa for breach of contract.
The versatile winger returned to Bullets in 2019, but he has struggled to regain his form at the club.
In October 2019, Fifa Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) ordered Lusaka Dynamos to pay compensation, but the Zambian Super League outfit appealed to CAS.

The review found no evidence to support changing catheters every 72 to 96 hours.
Consequently, healthcare organisations may consider changing to a policy whereby catheters are changed only if clinically indicated.
This would provide significant cost savings and would spare patients the unnecessary pain of routine re-sites in the absence of clinical indications.
To minimise peripheral catheter-related complications, the insertion site should be inspected at each shift change and the catheter removed if signs of inflammation, infiltration, or blockage are present.

Discuss the relationship between literary and film versions of a particular 'romance' text
Category Film, relation
Essay type Film Analysis
When a reader reads a novel and then watches a movie based on the book, they take in two very different perspectives. The use of camera techniques within the movie creates the story from the director's or script writers perspective, leaving the viewer only with one interpretation of the novel whereas when a reader reads the novel, he or she takes in a personal insight to the book and creates their own version to the narrative process.
Wuthering Heights, written by Emily Bronte in the mid 19th century is a gothic novel which presents the love of Cathy Earnshaw and Heathcliff as a very innocent relationship whereby many people will see it as been a 'teenage crush'. The novel is structured around two key points (purposes): the strong male 'hero', and the romance between the hero and heroine (Cranny-Francis). Wuthering Heights is in many ways a romance novel (even though many critics choose not to agree). The term 'romance' according to the Oxford English Dictionary the term is defined as:
A prevailing sense of wonder or mystery surrounding the mutual attraction in a love affair. Cathy and Heathcliff's romance for one another is outside social due to economic circumstances therefore they do not marry even though their love for one another remains strong until the end of the novel (Cranny-Francis). The many movie versions made of Wuthering Heights have gotten a grasp on the main shared themes in the story yet however the differences between the two mediums is vital to the narrative structure.

Heathcliff's character been vital to the storyline (as he is the novels key point of focus) is very important when making the movie versions of Wuthering Heights as he brings out the audiences response (Haire-Sargeant). Previously, film versions of Wuthering Heights have in fact attempted to explain the character of Heathcliff in a way the audience can connect with this character and achieve their expectations.
Directors have been doing this change by altering parts of the story so that Heathcliff's character is not as evil as Bronte's character in the novel is; or by leading the audience or the reader as Bronte does to take in Heathcliff's good and wicked personality within his perspective. When Bronte wrote the novel, of course it had to have been linguistic. Movies however, cannot give the viewer every last detail that is in the novel and therefore have to adapt the book into a screenplay in order all the audience can understand its concept. Therefore changes and problems are created.
The question which arises from every book turned into a movie becomes 'does the movie mirror or replicate the context of the novel' which in so many words is not possible. To get every last detail of a four hundred page novel down in the short space of two/ or three hours will confuse the viewer as movies unlike novels do not ask for an audiences creativity to form the story it is already done and bought to life on screen. The question at hand therefore should be 'how does the movie engage audiences/ viewers attention? Does it succeed in its own way? (Haire-Sargeant)
This analysis of Wuthering Heights will be explored in William Wyler's 1939 version and also in Peter Kosminsky's 1992 version of the book. From the beginning of the novel Heathcliff is bought into the story as di??classi??. He is bought home by Mr Earnshaw and is just explained to be 'from the streets - a gipsy'. His background remains anonymous to the reader throughout the book as well as the movies (Cranny-Francis). In the novel, Nelly Dean tells Lockwood the narrative from her personal insight to the family having been with them for three generations.
However, in Wylers movie the story is presented by first generation of Earnshaw and Linton. In the book, Bronte makes Heathcliff's character appear to be tall, dark, passionate, violent and uncivilised. Yet however, in Wyler's version of Wuthering Heights he has cast Lawrence Olivier to play the character of Heathcliff. He is characterised differently in this movie in comparison to the novel. Wyler and Olivier present Heathcliffs emotions and the cruelty he has had to bear from Hindley a great deal. This 1939 version of Wuthering Heights is what Haire-Sargeant describes as been 'holographic'.
The movies framing brings the movie together to form together a masterpiece work. Wyler controls a black and white of delicately shaded tonality; the powerfully expressed emotional and spiritual touch. The story through the use of extreme emphasis on visuals presents open space in comparison to the settings described by Bronte in the novel. (Haire-Sargeant p. p. 170-173). Wyler's movie has bought forth to the audience attention the connection between Heathcliff and Cathy and the emptiness of the world for both of them when not together (Hair-Sargeant).
Peter Kosminskys 1992 version titled Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights did not achieve the audience response that the 1939 one received merely due to the fact of poor casting. French actress Juliette Binoche played both the characters of first generation and second generation Catherine. The controversy surrounding this poor casting was simply the fact that Catherine in Bronte's novel was from an English background. To cast a French to play the role of an English girl was part of the reason of why the movie did not seem to do well.
Another interesting casting in this movie was the actor who took on the role of Heathcliff: Ralph Fiennes. Although he did not look in the part with his refined features, he quite differently to Olivier's performance of Heathcliff in the 1939 version presented a quiet, smiling torturer at play. This is a major personality characteristic of Bronte's Heathcliff in the novel. The cruel personality of Heathcliff in this movie version cannot be understood to be an act of anger or personality as the Heathcliff played by Olivier presents.
Different to the 1939 Wuthering Heights and the book by Bronte, in this version it is not Heathcliff who holds the narrative process together but rather it is Catherine. The story in this version gave the character of Catherine more maturity and power as opposed to in the book where Bronte seemed to present an immature 'school-girl' type of girl in the first generation Cathy's personality. Yet the most important factor to consider is the fact that Binoche took on the role of both mother and daughter each been delivered differently and fitting in together with the story.
Unlike the book where Bronte focuses a great deal of volume one on the first generations childhood, the book just touches on it and skims past them really quickly leaving the audience to fill in the gaps. For example Nelly Dean's character in this movie only has a small role and does not state exactly who she is to the audience whereas in the book more then half of it is her narrative of the events circulating between the Earnshaws, Lintons and Heathcliff. Another example is the character of Hindley who is important to the novel.
He fades off the screen as well as his wife, Frances, before the viewers' notice what happened to them. Kosminskys main interest in this movie was to show the viewer the great love story between Cathy and Heathcliff. Yet he gave the audience little time to grasp the storyline as he wanted us to focus primarily on the main 'stars' without drifting the audiences mind towards other matters. Unlike Wyler's version however, like the book the 1992 version presented both the second generation as well as Lockwood. The end of the movie showed second generation Cathy and Hareton riding together a happy couple getting married soon.
This romance developed gradually over a period of time in the novel whereas in the movie it is one of the final shots. This refers back to the point made earlier about Kosminsky's skimming over the lives of the characters in the story not letting the audience take in what is happening. Hareton's character in this movie version did not have an important role nor did he make much appearance whilst he was a central character in the novel. The key strength of the movie however, is the use of only key subject matters in relation to the story to make it fit perfectly into the duration time of two hours (Haire-Sargeant).
The use of settings, tone and music all contribute to the construction of the film. When a reader reads the novel they create their own interpretation and felt emotions in regards to what is happening in the texts, but however with movies comes the fact that we are witnessing all one set perspective of the story. Music and scenery are a major aspect of witnessing something before us especially on screen. It reminds the viewer of how they see what is real and what is not real, therefore forming and revealing the storyline.
The use of screenplay and Hollywood touches adds more drama to the actual story, making the love story appear to be more realistic for viewers and more 'romantic' in relation to the novel where it is interpreted according to the readers' imagination. The book allows readers to go beyond the linguistic and explore deeply into the plot, whereas the movie is set images on screen and it is up to the viewers to accept or reject the shared ideas or themes introduced by the screen play writer and the actors acting out the novels characters.
Wuthering Heights the novel is a well structured novel, which explores everyone and every event in sufficient detail for the reader to comprehend the story. It gives the reader the impression that they are part of the dramas of the characters lives and the reader has a connection with each storyline. The movie because it is so fast paced and shorter then the novel, the viewer can not make that special connection which keeps them enticed as they are not using their imagination but rather their sight sense.
In conclusion, going back to the question bought up earlier in regards to whether the two movie versions made of Wuthering Heights have brought to life the novels' key strengths, the novel and the movie both are unique and interesting in their own set ways. Whilst the novel has been interpreted to be a Gothic novel with a metaphorical aspect of romance in it by many critics over the past centuries, the movie versions of this is novel is far from been described and categorised as been Gothic.
It is a highly dramatic piece of work with a totally different presentation of the characters which Bronte firstly introduced in her 1800s novel. The novels plot thickens mainly around Cathy and Heathcliff and for a director to put this into action a lot of things need to be toned down as of the fact the story was written two centuries ago and the audience who view it in today's society will vary in ages therefore it needed to be played down so the viewer can take in more of the story and the characters and walk away with the basic concept of what the book is about.
The use of sadism in Heathcliff's character is played down on in the movie versions of the novel, and although both the Heathcliff's played out by Fiennes and Olivier are differently presented they both sum up the main plot of the un-dying love between Catherine and Heathcliff that Bronte sought to present in her book but however, each director displays this theme accordingly to his own personal interpretations of the story.

Generosity links women across race and ethnicity
NonProfit Times
March 10, 2020 / Trends and research
Generosity is a value shared by all communities and one that women across races and ethnicities are leading through philanthropy. As communities of color grow in wealth and influence, a new study underscores the importance of understanding and engaging donors from diverse backgrounds.
Research from the Women's Philanthropy Institute (WPI) of IUPUI (Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis) showed that households across all racial groups give to charity, and a donor's race does not have a significant effect on the amount given, after adjusting for factors such as wealth, income and education. Gender patterns previously identified by WPI – specifically, that single women and married couples are more likely to give than single men – hold true within each of the communities studied (African American, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, and White households were included in the analysis).
The report, which was funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, demonstrates the unique perspectives women of color bring to philanthropy and underscores how important it is for charities to understand and engage donors from diverse backgrounds.
"Women Give 2019 highlights the universality of giving. Women in communities of color may take different pathways to their philanthropy, learning from their families or religious traditions, or starting to give later in life, according to the findings. But the act of giving their time, talent, and treasure is consistent for women across race and ethnicity," said Debra J. Mesch, PhD, the Eileen Lamb O'Gara Chair in Women's Philanthropy at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.

Hi Doug and Jackie! Love reading about your wonderful adventure and the careful planning you do to make it happen so smoothly! Rich is getting interested in craft beer so he will enjoy learning more from you! I find it stressful just reading about "hairpin" turns in a big vehicle. Kodi looks beautiful- all grown up with a big coat of fur! We adopted a puppy 3-4 weeks ago. That has been our adventure!
We look forward to introducing her to you and Jackie and Kodi!
Hope to get together soon.
Great bunch of pictures, and I can see what you mean about the Precipice Trail! That is crazy. So glad you caught some blue sky/autumn colors as it's been such a drizzly grey fall here. Several true frosts since you were here and my indoor garden is packed with refugees. Be thinking about you in the Bahamas…sigh…so great to see you both up here. Need to do it again 'someday'….
It was a great, if short, visit. Kicking myself for not getting a picture of us together. Btw just had my piece of sweet potato pie last night!


I like this guy. He looks like a child drawing of an old country man come to life. Chawing on an unlit cigar, prison style Mom & Dad tattooo, no sleeves, camo hat, looks old and tired but could lift a John Deere tractor off a baby goat if push came to shove. You and I are alright brother.
Clearly your life obstacles weren't big enough as a see-through skinned ginger, you wanted to up the ante. Bold. I like it.

A selection of photos which show some of the stones found at the suggested Atlantis site at Pampa Aullagas by Lake Poopo, Oruro, Bolivia and comparison with stones found at the ancient city of Caral in Peru.
Many of the stones appear to have been cut, but that does not necessarily mean cut into rectangular blocks such as seen at later sites such as Tiwanaku, earlier buildings had stones which were cut in order to give one smooth side on the outer face of a wall.
Plato described the stones of Atlantis as being red, black and white and these three colours are found at the Pampa Aullagas site as well as many stones which look like they may previously have been part of buildings..
above, red and black stones at Pampa Aullagas mountain.
The above stone appears to have been cut and at some time displaced from its original position. It has a light covering of white, fossilised lake deposits.
The left hand stone appears cut as if for casing stone of a pyramid.
the above stone looks like it has been cut at one end and shows tooling marks.
The stone on the right is covered in fossilised deposits from the time of the great lakes, yet the stones on the left are free from lake deposits suggesting they arrived in their present locations as the result of explosion or earthquakes.
The above stone appears to have been painted red. Yet it is found wedged between rocks as if arrived in present location as the result of explosion or earthquakes. Herodotus mentiioned that the ancient Persian circular cities had concentric walls painted in different colours.

Computational Biologist James Taylor Dies
The Johns Hopkins University professor was a co-developer of the Galaxy platform, an open-source bioinformatics tool used in labs around the world.
Lisa Winter
Lisa Winter became social media editor for The Scientist in 2017. In addition to her duties on social media platforms, she also pens obituaries for the website. She graduated from Arizona State University, where she studied genetics, cell, and developmental biology.
ABOVE: © WILL KIRK/JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, © ISTOCK.COM, ESKEMAR
James Taylor, a computational biologist at Johns Hopkins University who developed a popular open-source bioinformatics platform, died April 2 at the age of 40.
Taylor is known for his work with the Galaxy Project, an open-source tool originally designed to help process data for genomicists.
Taylor earned a computer science degree in 2000 from the University of Vermont, and afterward received his PhD in the field from Penn State University in 2006, during which he helped develop the Galaxy Project. He worked as an associate professor at Emory University for five years, according to a memoriam from Johns Hopkins University. During this time, he continued his work with Galaxy, broadening it to a global scale and writing many papers about the platform that have been cited thousands of times. He left Emory and joined the staff at Johns Hopkins, where he became known for his collaborative spirit.
"He came in 2014, and it was transformational," Vince Hilser, the chair of the biology department, says in the statement. "He was this catalyst for change, with a huge positive impact."
Taylor was one of the founders and developers of the Galaxy Project in 2005. The platform allowed scientists to better understand genomic and epigenomic activity across individuals and species without every researcher needing to learn computer programming. Galaxy is now used to analyze bioinformatics data with increased accuracy and reproducibility in many fields, ranging from drug discovery to ecology, and has been used in nearly 9,000 scientific publications, according to its website.
Since the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Taylor used his Twitter account to speak out on the need for shared genomic data and criticize the lack of proper supplies for those working on the front lines.
Throughout his career he had been involved with the National Institutes of Health's National Human Genome Research Institute and ENCODE, a member of the National Center for Genome Analysis Scientific Advisory Board, and many others. He also co-chaired the Portal Working Group of the AnVIL Project, another cloud-based bioinformatics tool.
News of his death stunned many in the world of computational biology, spurring friends and colleagues to express their grief on social media and on the Galaxy community hub.
"Such a huge loss. James made huge contributions to open-source, accessibility, and reproducibility. Anyone who runs a bioinformatics tool on the cloud does so thanks to James's work," tweeted genomicist Andrew Carroll.
"His life's pursuit was to understand how genomic information is used in normal development and how changes in the genome can dysregulate this process in disease. Further, through co-leading the Galaxy project and the Anvil project, a major thrust of James' career has been to support the work of other scientists, especially to empower those with limited resources," Michael Schatz, an associate professor of computer science and biology at Hopkins, recounts in Taylor's memoriam.
Hopkins did not have information available about Taylor's cause of death. He is survived by his wife Meredith Greif, a sociologist who is also a professor at Johns Hopkins.

Notts head coach Peter Moores
Samit Patel says he has never worked with a better coach than Peter Moores as he praised the Nottinghamshire head coach and his backroom team.
Patel enjoyed a brilliant season as he topped the Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA) Most Valuable Player Rankings. He has also been shortlisted for the PCA Players' Player of the Year Award.
Notts won the Royal London One Day Cup, the NatWest T20 Blast and promotion in the County Championship.
Patel says the former England coach was the driving force behind his personal success and that of the team.

"I've not worked with a better coach than Peter Moores. The energy he gives off to his players is a testament to him," he said.
"He's a manager who knows his players. He knows what he needs to do to get players ready for games of cricket.
"He makes you feel like you belong. He makes you feel like you're his number one priority.
"I can't speak highly enough of him. He's been fantastic. So has Franksy (assistant coach Paul Franks).
"They work hand in hand. You add them to Picky (bowling coach Andy Pick) and (second team coach) Ant Botha and it's a special team.
"You've got to give the backroom staff so much credit. The amount of work they do with players, my god, they are throwing balls and hitting balls endlessly.
"They will stay for long, long days. To reward them as we have is great."

When I found out I was having a boy, I was a wee bit sad that I wouldn't get to put big Southern bows in his hair or dress him in those little lacey fold-over socks with white keds (perhaps one day I'll post a photo of ME when I was a child…. ha. As they say "the bigger the bow, the better the girl").
But just because he's a boy, doesn't mean I can't monogram the heck out of Brady's clothes or dress him in seersucker seven days a week, RIGHT? I love a good monogram – an if you ask me, every little boy needs a little blue seersucker outfit.
So in my quest to accomplish two things 1) find the most adorable custom clothes for Brady without breaking the bank and 2) support a small, creative business like mine… I stumbled upon Mommy's Memories in my hometown of Pensacola, Florida. One of my friends' sister's little boys (you got that?) is quite possibly the cutest, best-dressed little boy I know. His name is Campbell and I'm not sure I've seen one photo of him without a custom made little outfit. CutiePIE.
They are ADORABLE. I am the worst clothing-photographer ever apparently (do I even own an iron??), but these photos are of some of the outfits they made for Brady. The two not pictured are the two he's wearing.
Apparently he was VERY upset over LSU's National Championship loss and did NOT want to wear the yellow seersucker/football outfit OR have his photo taken in it, but the whale outfit was a success.
I so love stumbling on small businesses that do a really, really amazing job. You can guarantee Brady's closet will be filling with more clothes from these ladies.
I'm starting a special little project collecting favorite small businesses (especially Etsy shops) that sell personalized items. Think babies, children + women in general. I'd love to know your favorites!
