Danish film takes Oscar for best international feature
Director Thomas Vinterberg's film 'Another Round' ('Druk' in the original Danish), won an Oscar on Sunday for best international feature film.
The movie, a dark existential comedy about the joys and dangers of being drunk, is the fourth Danish film to win an Oscar for best non-English language film.
Vinterberg gave a moving, tearful speech as he accepted the award.
Here's that story in full.
Vaccinated US nationals will soon be able to travel to Europe, EU says
Americans who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will be able to visit the EU this summer, president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has vowed.
"The Americans, as far as I can see, use European Medicines Agency-approved vaccines," von der Leyen told The New York Times.
"This will enable free movement and the travel to the European Union.
"Because one thing is clear: the 27 member states will accept, unconditionally, all those who are vaccinated with vaccines approved by the EMA", Von der Leyen said.
You can read more on that in this article.
Lockdown result in fewer fatal road traffic accidents
A review by the Danish Road Directorate (Vejdirektoratet) has found that social restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic have reduced the number of fatal accidents on Denmark's roads.
The review includes March 2021, when six people lost their lives due to road accidents in the country.
"We can see that there was a very low number of deaths in March. Compares with earlier years, this constitutes a reduction by one half," departmental head Marianne Steffensen told news wire Ritzau.
In March 2020, when a lockdown was introduced halfway through the month at the beginning of the pandemic, 10 people lost their lives on the roads.
Copenhagen Jazz Festival hopes to go ahead with smaller number of events
We reported on Friday that recommendations made by the government's expert panel leave the prospects for major music festivals such as the Roskilde Festival hanging by a thread in 2021.
READ ALSO: Denmark's summer music festival hopes fade
Copenhagen Jazz Festival normally takes place in early July with over a thousand concerts and events of varying sizes at 130 locations around the city.
"We have continually been looking into various restriction scenarios and therefore still expect to go ahead with Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2021 in some form. If nothing else, as a pure concert-venue festival with fewer free locations," the event's manager Kenneth Hansen told broadcaster DR in a written comment.
"But everything depends on the political decision based on the expert group recommendations," Hansen pointed out.

The Little Eglantine 2019 First Holy Communion dresses collection is out!
Hello.This article was really fascinating, especially since I was investigating for thoughts on this topic last Sunday.
Stephanie Staub, the designer behind French Maison de Couture Little Eglantine knows something about Royal romance… She created the flower girl dresses and the page boy outfits for TRH Princess Claire and Prince Felix of Luxembourg's royal wedding. We asked her what she thought the Royal junior bridal party outfits would look like.
Harry's and Meghan's wedding will take place in the gorgeous surroundings of Windsor Castle, and we have been told that there will be a carriage procession through the streets of Windsor. With such a traditional setting, Meghan will definitely want classy and elegant outfits for her flower girls and page boys. Yet, as she is a modern and decided woman, I guess she will also be looking for outfits reinterpreting classic shapes with modern refinement.
Princess Charlotte, 2, and Ivy, 4, (Jessica Mulroney's daughter) are said to be flower girls. So I would expect Meghan to go for knee length flower girl dresses. For such an elegant Spring wedding, I would imagine blush pink dresses with delicate spotted tulle elbow length sleeves and an ivory big bow on the front. The whole look would then combine timeless grace and playful simplicity.
Prince George being just four years old, I could see him wearing a white peter pan collar shirt, which is just adorable for such a tender age. I would recommend a silver pair of ¾ length button shorts with a silver cummerbund.
I would see Princess Charlotte wearing a rose floral headdress as this is such a charming note.
If Meghan wishes to go for an even more relaxed but yet very elegant junior style, Princess Charlotte could wear an above-the-knee-length white taffeta dress with a high waist - which is adorable - with a boat neckline and transparent silk organza puff sleeves. A discreet pale blue velvet ribbon sash would contrast nicely with the taffeta.
Prince George might wear a sailor top with a matching ribbon along the collar's edge, with white knickerbockers and a cummerbund.
And if the bride decides to go for a more traditional Royal wedding style, she could very well opt for romantic full length flower girl dresses.
What fashion trends do we usually/can expect to see with Royal wedding outfits?
In British Royal weddings, flower girls usually wear long silk dresses with puff sleeves with a sash tying in a big bow at the back. The perfect princess dress every little girl dreams of! Depending on the age of the page boys, we can expect them to wear silk breeches if they are young of age, or trousers if a bit older, with a cummerbund and a peter pan collar or officer collar shirt. Both Princess Diana's and Kate Middleton's flower girls were wearing ivory silk flower girl dresses and their page boys wear wearing military jackets. Princess Diana's pages were wearing trousers while Kate's were wearing ivory breeches. As Prince George is much younger, I don't expect him to wear trousers, but maybe knickerbockers, or three quarter length button shorts, which are more suitable for a tender age.
How would one take inspiration from royal weddings (like HRH Prince Felix of Luxembourg's wedding) and incorporate it into their own flower girl and page boy outfits?
The outfits for HRH Prince Felix of Luxembourg's wedding were a bespoke commission. However, I had several clients who were so in love with the page boy outfits I designed for Princess Claire of Luxembourg that they asked for the exact same garments! I guess it all depends on the style you are after for your wedding. Imagine adorable flower girls walking down the aisle in delicate silk organza full length dresses, holding hand with assorted page boys… this is a heavenly image and is accessible to everyone. Depending on the style of your wedding, you could opt for very traditional designs like our double breasted shirts with knickerbockers for the boys. For a more contemporary look, opt for a peter pan collar shirt, cotton French shorts with cummerbund and cotton sneakers for the boys, and knee-length flower girl dresses for the girls. I have designed dress shapes to suit any elegant wedding style. And as each garment is made to order, you can choose among a wide range of fabric colors to match your wedding theme. So each dress is unique, as is each wedding!

I recently purchased this product from Pak n Save Moorhouse Road, Christchurch.
It made my cat sick and my dog who licked out the tin. Not happy.
I am a very saucy, spoilt cat, especially when it comes to food, however I have managed to train my humans to bring me all my food smothered in gravy, they have learnt that Gravy Lovers is my food of choice and that I will NOT travel across the room for anything else. So thank you Fancy Feast for helping them to get my mealtimes right.
get them once in a while.
my cat cant get enough of the gravy line esp the Salmon feast & tuna flavours. She is very fussy & so i am so pleased she loves this line of quality cat food,.


Working from home as a designer/maker/craft business owner might be your dream realised after years of working towards goals and escaping the 'day job'. It might be something you are working on part time or as a side hustle to other work or commitments?
Whether your Etsy Store is a full time business or a part time project it can have its ups and downs at times. I have written this article to help you troubleshoot a few common and easily rectifiable mistakes. To help you develop your store, products and brand and to maintain a positive mindset and level joy more easily! Here are a few simple structures and tried and tested tactics for a more successful Etsy seller experience!
If you ever shop online (somewhere like ebay or amazon for example) you might have seen this odd and annoying selling tactic before - where a product is priced very low but then when you reach your cart the P&P is extortionate to make up for the product cost… its down right infuriating!
Most successful sellers I know take particular care and attention getting their shipping just right!
They absorb the postage fee into the costing to enable them to offer 'free shipping' to certain destinations. Some people even split the different depending on the value and service being paid for.
Another tip would be to always offer a accurately priced fast track/next day service AND always set clear expectations in terms of your dispatching times! They key here really is accuracy! So buy yourself a digital scale and work out those P&P prices before you make your strategy.
I have fallen into this trap before! By getting comfortable with my sales goals and not doing enough forward planning… The key is the set aside a day a month to work on new designs or testing ideas on your audience online.
Taking time out to play with new ideas is not only important for business development but also helps keep you inspired! Being aware of seasonal trends and timings is also key. Planning Christmas Holiday products in November?… chances are you have missed the boat by not giving yourself enough time to test, refine or make enough stock!
Looking at your store analytics and key metrics is also a super insightful way to see what is and isn't working in your current product ranges before you decides what to take forward or invest more time/money into developing! See what your customers are engaging with and use that as a measure.
I know, I know, it can be a real pain especially when you have hundreds of listings! But regularly reassessing and altering your key word tags really does freshen up your traffic stream and audience visibility. Make sure your listings are tagged only with accurate and relevant words. Think about what people will be typing into the search bar to find an item like yours, what are the categories? Descriptors? Details?
You must also make the most of every single character in your product description! This is essential to be found.
By using descriptive words, you're painting a picture for your prospective customer, sell them an experience, and you'll definitely stand out in the overcrowded online marketplace.
Undercharging for your product not only messes up your profit margin but it reflects badly on your fellow handmade business owners. Customers come to you for unique hand crafted and thoughtful designs, items painstakingly created, curated and produced usually by hand.
I can guarantee you have spent hours designing, testing, refining and listing your product. That time, energy, cost and skill all needs to be reflected in your pricing strategy… as well as your base overhead costs! This is afterall a business.
Make sure you have an accurate figure for your hourly rate/price which can be applied to your production time + materials costs. You can use this handy sheet to help crunch those numbers. Make sure you are conducting regular market research, measuring material costs and finding your pricing sweet spot.
It's likely your customer cannot just pop over to view your product and try before they buy. So it is essential that each item is accurately captured from every different angle, with correct lighting and also fuss free styling. An image of your product in situ or on the body will help the customer not only understand the use/benefit but also how to style up their outfit or space gorgeously!
Make sure your photos are clear and well lit, shot on plain backgrounds and with minimal props.
Etsy often alter the quality of your photos when uploaded but this is even more reason to make sure they are hi res and shot with a macro lens where necessary! Your customer needs to see every beautiful detail, stitch or brush stroke.
Keep digital enhancement to a minimum. A little editing in photoshop can be a good thing but keeping colours as true to the real thing is again essential! Try a little light and contrast tweat if your natural light isn't as sharp as you'd like… but remember less is better!
Lastly - never use stock photography! Not only is it potentially infringing on copyright it will mess up the clarity of brand image and is pretty lazy!
If you'd like more ideas about developing your online store or support growing your creating/craft business drop me a line. As Nottingham Etsy Team's co-captain I have several years of supporting Etsy makers and team members. I am offering free 30 minute Maker Mentoring calls during September which you can book here.

Go See Red Tails–Like Now….
Sorry–I don't buy this "don't command me to go see a movie just because ……" Go see the damn movie.
Put it to you this way—as a Jew–if this was a movie about the Shoah or other aspects of Jewish history or culture–we could count on our own to support our own–as a priority and not an option. As an African American I want to be able to see that kind of support for projects that tell the story of African American history and culture and inspire pride in our people and all Americans. So if you're vacillating, go see the movie-NOW. Aaron Macgruder (Creator/Writer of The Boondocks) said it best–"we had a Black president before we had a Black action hero."
The Tuskeegee Airmen were some of American's history's greatest heroes. They had to fight on two fronts—segregated America and racist, facist Germany. We are indebeted to all WWII veterans, but especially those who were of color–African American, Native American, Mexican American and Japanese American who had to battle for the very freedom they were sent to protect.
Tell Anthony Hemingway and George Lucas (we love you George Lucas!) that we are grateful. Tell "Hollywood," that we are MORE THAN JUST THE HELP! Tell your neighbors that this history is important and needs to be passed on. Tell your children there's more to life than the stereotypes and negative impressions that we aren't the heroes, the beautiful ones, the ones with the stories to tell and be retold. We were part of two greatest generations–the one that fought against tyranny in World War II and the long generation that build this country in chains and survived against all odds in American chattel slavery!
After Shabbat–I'm at the theater watching Nazis go down…hope you are too…
Don't forget about us: www.thecookinggene.wordpress.com Same phenomenon……we need to remember, support for our history is not a given, its a community priority.

La profanation est un acte dit sacrilège, consistant en un mélange réel ou symbolique d'éléments du sacré avec des éléments du profane, d'une façon qui n'est pas prévue par les règles et rituels du sacré, ou qui va à leur encontre.

Définition
La profanation est une atteinte au respect du sacré.

Il peut s'agir d'une infraction à la loi nationale ou à la loi religieuse dans un lieu consacré.

Il peut aussi s'agir de l'introduction d'éléments profanes dans une enceinte sacrée, dite sanctuaire, ou bien de l'utilisation d'éléments sacrés dans un contexte profane jugé inconvenant.

La profanation d'une tombe est un acte visant à souiller (une sépulture est un lieu volontairement préservé pour évoquer la mémoire d'une personne), dégradant pour le défunt, et commis contre les usages d'une société envers ses morts. La profanation de sépulture peut viser non seulement un individu, mais aussi une communauté : par exemple, certaines profanations dans les cimetières juifs peuvent avoir un caractère antisémite. Cela a notamment été le cas lors de la profanation du cimetière juif de Carpentras en 1990 (cf. affaire de la profanation de Carpentras).

Ces actes sacrilèges, expression de mépris et de haine, seraient par ailleurs parfois un rite d'initiation dans les sectes néo-nazies ou sataniques.

Le terme juridique de « profanation » est . Auparavant, seule la « violation de sépulture » (dégradation matérielle d'une tombe) définie par les  était punie : jusqu'à cinq ans d'emprisonnement et à  euros d'amende lorsqu'elle a été accompagnée d'atteinte à l'intégrité du cadavre et a été commise à raison de l'appartenance ou de la non-appartenance, vraie ou supposée, des personnes décédées à une ethnie, une nation, une race ou une religion déterminée. De plus, l' précise que  La « profanation » relève d'un acte symbolique sur plusieurs tombes.

He went on to say "The focus for the Government this week was on jobs for the boys and girls in Fianna Fáil and the Green Party as Cabinet ministers and junior ministers. But looking on at this game of musical chairs are over 432,000 unemployed people in this State. And there are further thousands of others looking on from overseas where they have been forced to emigrate by the policies of this Government.
country. The lights are going out for the last time every evening on once thriving businesses and the 'for sale' and 'to let' signs are going up on premises in every town and village. The Government has no strategy to keep young people in Ireland and use their skills to rebuild the economy. It hopes that emigration will hide the true extent of unemployment. The Government's decision to cut youth dole payments was made in order to encourage young people to leave.
Mary Harney and Mary Coughlan in particular still have a seat at the ministerial table even though both have been proven completely incompetent at their respective roles on numerous occasions and would surely have been forced to resign in any other jurisdiction!

When one department title was changed back in 1997, the cost of changing department stationary, the department website, name plates on buildings etc cost the taxpayer over 2 million punts at the time!

Many believe that a bank-owned home or one going into foreclosure is a great deal! Many times they are.
Beware however, when purchasing these types of homes that they are in "as is" condition, in other words "buyer beware". Many times there is damage to frozen pipes, furnace issues, and the list goes on. The investment may not be worth the risk. Because banks hire their own appraiser, they list these homes for market value and then wait as long as it may take to sell them. If you don't mind hanging on to them for awhile to re-coop some equity then this a is a great way to invest!
Make sure you hire an agent to price the home in its current condition and then what it would sell for all fixed up! You may be surprised at the difference and quite pleased, or just surprised and walk away. Sometimes banks hire an out-of-town appraiser that doesn't know the local market and the home is overpriced.

It is really a great movie. I liked the wedding moments and the Tissington hall was very appealing. And great salute to Phoebe and Susie, the wedding coordinators! I wish to conduct my daughter's wedding party there at the Tissingto hall. But I am not sure whether the hall has all the facilities specified here at http://www.lejardin.com/weddings-events.php .

HIV patients line the hallway of the Fevers Unit Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra. They wait for hours for their name to be called, so they can collect their antiviral drugs. Normally the patients would get two to three months of medication at a time, but since the pharmacists are on a national strike in Ghana, they are lucky to get 10 days worth.
Juanita Sallah, the local journalist I'm working with at CitiFM, negotiates her way past the watchful nurses and finds Nana Esi, an HIV patient, sprawled out on a bench.
To put more pressure on the government, the Government and Hospital Pharmacists Association announced last week that they were going to stop administering drugs to emergency patients, the mentally ill and those with HIV/AIDS. Which means that Nana Esi does not know how much longer she will be able to get the drugs, and that she is relying on the nurses to accurately portion out her medication.
We speak with another man battling HIV who refers to himself as Kwame. He tells us that the strike has become a major inconvenience in his life, because he has to travel four hours to the hospital every 10 days. This, he says, makes it difficult for him to work and keep a living.
The problem is that the government, under the Fair Wage and Salaries Commission, suddenly switched the pharmacists into a new salary structure, mid-negotiation, without any notice. It's a part of a new public servant salary structure, called the Single Spine Salary Structure, which ensures that all public servants with the same education and occupation will be paid the same across the board.
The pharmacists were categorized in a much lower salary group than they think they should be- something closer to nurses, when they say they should be paid closer to the doctors. Instead of trying to negotiate with the commission, the Government and Hospital Pharmacist Association decided to strike immediately, exacerbating an already dire situation, because the doctors have been on strike since the end of March, leaving the care of the patients to the nurses.
Talks between the Fair Wage and Salary Commission and the pharmacists have been non-existent. When Juanita phoned the health minister, Sherry Ayitey, to find out what her ministry is doing to ensure HIV patients get their medication, she declined to comment. I called her after the story aired to see if she would like to have a word before I publish this blog. She said she did not know about the strike and hung up the phone.
After that exchange, I think of Nana Esi, dabbing her forehead with a sweat rag in that long hallway. She's so sick and she is just trying to survive, but the politics of a nation are getting in the way. As far as anyone knows, there is no plan to help her or remedy the situation, and now the nurses are threatening to strike. She should be worried.

One day a teacher asked his students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.
It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.
That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.
On Monday, he gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling.
"Really?" he heard whispered.
"I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and "I didn't know others liked me so much." were most of the comments.
No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. He never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another.
That group of students moved on. Several years later, one of the students was killed in war and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student.
He had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature. The Masjid was packed with his friends. One by one, those who loved him took a last walk by the Janaza. The teacher was the last one to pass by the coffin.
As he stood there, one of the soldiers came up to him. "Were you Majid's math teacher?" he asked.
He nodded, "Yes."
Then he said, "Majid talked about you a lot."
After the funeral, most of Majid's former classmates went together to his home. Majid's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.
"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on Majid when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."
Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which he had listed all the good things each of Majid's classmates had said about him.
"Thank you so much for doing that," Majid's mother said. "As you can see, Majid treasured it."
All of Majid's former classmates started to gather around. Hassan smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."
Jaffer's wife said, "Jaffer asked me to put his in our wedding album." "I have mine too," Muhsin said. "It's in my diary."
Then Iqbal, another classmate, reached into his pocketbook, took out his wallet and showed his worn and frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times, " Iqbal said and without batting an eyelash, he continued, "I think we all saved our lists."
That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. He cried for Majid and for all his friends who would never see him again.
The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be. So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important.
Tell them, before it is too late...
If you're "too busy" to take those few minutes right now to write the nice things about someone and send it to them, would this be the VERY first time you didn't do that little thing that would make a difference in your relationships?

Our new portal will not only look different but will include content specifically curated for you.

I can't find the links to access the portal/Where is the portal?
The portal is now offline and will return on 2 July 2018.
We are bringing in a new system that improves the service we offer to our members, and other customers, online.
From 25 June 2018, whilst we start to transition to the new system, our online systems will be down. As a result of this, you will not be able to access your account with us, or update any applications you may have underway during the transition.
I had already started an application for membership. What will happen to it?
If you have not already submitted your application, you will need to start a fresh application when the new system goes live on 2 July 2018.
My application was almost complete. Can I complete/pay after the IT update?

Home America Watch the emotional 9/11 commercial that only aired once
Watch the emotional 9/11 commercial that only aired once
Even though it's been nearly 20 years, most of us can remember September 11th like it was yesterday. It was a time of great sorrow for our country, but also a time of patriotism and unity. Americans from all walks of life came together to show the world that no matter what happens, we are a country that stands together. American brand Budweiser was no exception to this patriotism, airing a commercial so emotional it brought grown men to tears.
The patriotic commercial shows Budweiser's signature Clydesdales making their way through New York City. They pass the Statue of Liberty, cross the Brooklyn Bridge, and finally pause in a park overlooking the city's skyline.
"We filmed in New York City," said Bob Lachky, former executive vice president of Anheuser-Busch Global Creative. "We had a helicopter going over the Brooklyn Bridge. Mayor Giuliani let us into the city — the only film company of any sort right after 9-11. To actually come into air space with our helicopter to film the Clydesdale … the hitch coming into Battery Park and it was amazing, just amazing."
Screenshot via Youtube
The commercial ends on an emotional note, showing the Clydesdales bowing their heads in respect – a tribute to where the Twin Towers once stood. Watch the video below to see the original version – it's sure to make you feel proud to be an American.

Q: Error connecting to Salesforce through force.com C# I am using the Force.com Toolkit for .NET and trying to connect to Salesforce. See my code below.
var instance = "test101";
var testMode = !instance.ToUpper().Equals("LIVE");

using (var auth = new AuthenticationClient())
{
    ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
    auth.UsernamePasswordAsync(_consumerKey,
                _consumerSecret,
                _salesforceUser + (testMode ? "." + instance : ""),
                _salesforcePass,
                $"http://{(testMode ? "test" : "login")}.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token"
            ).GetAwaiter().GetResult(); // error here

    _client = new ForceClient(auth.InstanceUrl, auth.AccessToken, "v30.0");
}

When this executes I get the following error (where indicated):
Salesforce.Common.ForceAuthException: 'grant type not supported'
There are lots of links suggesting that a content type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded would fix this but there is no way to specify this using this method.
I have reviewed this link Error with SalesForce authentication from C# Client(s) but it is using an HttpClient and not the authentication client as per the documentation (https://github.com/developerforce/Force.com-Toolkit-for-NET).
Has anybody got this working?

Most every being has a favorite color.
Mine happens to be blue.
For my feathery sidekick, however, it is all about the green.
The most delicious greens fall into two categories: unauthorized and handfed.
The former are easy to identify as they are usually located in the center of an unattractive round plastic dirt-filled bowl. Often the large featherless being will attempt to place them in difficult-to-reach locations.
For the record, these typically are not as difficult-to-reach as she seems to think.
The latter arrive seemingly out of thin air, held between two featherless appendages right at beak level for sampling.
"Handfed" greens – five star beakside service at its finest.


The boy, who had not been identified late Tuesday, was unresponsive in the street when first responders arrived. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Cook said.
A girl about the same age was also taken to a hospital, Cook said.
"This is just an awful, awful case," Cook said.
Friends and neighbors set up and gathered around a little memorial near the crash site.

FAITH NO MORE on tour with GUN 'N' ROSES. Prague May 20th 1992
In the summer of 1992 Faith No More joined Guns 'N' Roses for a stadium media circus tour of Europe and America. They began in Europe, first show in Ireland and the second at Strahov Stadium Prague.
"You just don't know until you go there. We just played what used to be the Eastern Bloc. We played Hungary and Czechoslovakia - Prague is one of the most beautiful places in the world. These people were coming from places that were out there, way out in the middle of fucking nowhere, and they were driving this far and they knew about us and wanted to come to the show."
"It made me realise that there is no money to be made by being in a band and touring out there, but two-thirds of the world's population lives in these place. I think it's really total bullshit, that when we do these interviews we're just doing it to get people to spend money on the record, so we can charge the highest ticket price and charge the highest T-shirt price. All the people who have the money imagine anywhere else that's not like where they live as being full of fucking primitives who live in caves or spend all their times in death squads, shooting people. Of course it's not like that!" - Bill Gould 1992
There was a fair amount of FNM media attention surrounding this show, however unfortunatley it seems that hereafter as FNM lost interest in the rock n' roll circus that surrounded them, MTV lost interest in FNM during this tour.

This is the season for tomatoes. We get ripened and watery tomatoes for a bit of cheaper price. Tomatoes are good for heart. They can be used in chutney, dal, curry and of course in rasam. This is a different type of avakaya. We need not cook anything, just mix all the necessary ingredients and have it with rice or dosa. It can be stored for a month maximum.
Make one tomato into four or eight parts.
Cut all the tomatoes in the same way. Take a wide dish and add mustard powder, red chili powder, salt, fenugreek seeds,turmeric powder and asafoetida. Mix all of them well.
Add tomato pieces to the above mixture. Again mix them well.
Add oil to it and again mix them well.
Country tomatoes will have a little sour taste. So we need not add any tamarind or lemon juice to have sour taste to this pickle.
Leave it for a while so that tomatoes oozes a little bit of juice. Store this in an air tight jar.


Where would we be without the world's graduate art projects? In the case of Markus Kayser's Solar Sinter, we might never have seen the day when a solar-powered 3D printer would turn Saharan sand into a perfectly suitable glass bowl. Well, lucky for us (we suppose) we live in a world overflowing with MA students, and awash in their often confusing, sometimes inspiring projects. Solar Sinter, now on display at the Royal College of Art, falls into the latter category, taking the Earth's natural elements, and turning them into functioning pieces of a burgeoning technology. Solar Sinter uses the sun's rays in place of a laser and sand in place of resin, in a process that is perhaps more visually stunning than the results. See for yourself in the video after the break.


To end the week, we hosted a luncheon and announced the winners of the weeks events, raffle winners, and 50/50 winners.
At the end of the campaign, Dee Cramer and our employees were able to raise $11,252.00 to be donated to the United Way!!! Because of the generous donations of our employees and owners, and their participation in the week's events, we were able to raise the most we ever have in a campaign!


When Bahlsen North America reached out to ask if I'd help celebrate their 125th anniversary with a "Let the Good Times Roll" birthday cake contest I was all in. I mean who doesn't love cake? Plus the only rules were I had to use Bahlsen's signature rolled cookies (which I've had at least 100 times) and the recipe must be easy. Enter my Dark Chocolate Ganache Cookie Cake. A richer, than rich chocolate cake complete with mini chocolate chips, layers of Bahlsen cookies, butter cream frosting, and topped with a chocolate ganache frosting. A recipe that is so, so very easy because you can choose to make it from scratch, or simply add ingredients to store bought cake mix and frosting (recipes and helpful baking tips for both below), plus the ganache topping makes it truly a showstopper. And I promise you ganache is one of those things that looks impressive and extremely difficult to re-create but is beyond simple.
Grease 3 - 8 or 9 inch round cake pans.
In medium bowl, pour boiling water over cocoa, and whisk until smooth. Let mixture cool.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at time, stir in vanilla.
Add the flour mixture with the cocoa mixture. Spread batter evenly between the 3 prepared pans and sprinkle mini chocolate chips in each pan.
While cake bakes crumble your Bhalsen cookies and set aside.
Allow to completely cool before leveling and frosting, you can even allow them to cool overnight.
Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often.
Cook the chocolate chips and heavy cream in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.
You can make the cake 2 or 3 layers, it's completely up to you.
Level each cake using a cake leveler or large knife. Simply place your hand on top of the cake and cut the top, rounded layer off to make it flat and thinner.
Place your first layer on a cake plate and frost the top with a thin layer of buttercream, add a layer of cookie crumble. Continue with the second, and third layer if desired. Do not add cookie crumble to the top layer.
Once cake is assembled add remaining frosting to the top and begin frosting the entire cake until the entire top and sides are frosted.
Place in refrigerator to chill for 20-30 minutes.
Remove and pour ganache on the top of the cake allowing it to drip down the sides. Add remaining cookie crumble, serve immediately.
*The easiest way to grease a cake pan is by using a napkin.
*Using an actual cake leveler is the easiest and most accurate way to even out your cakes, however if you do not have a cake leveler simply use a bread knife.
*When frosting a cake you want to make sure your frosting is a light and fluffy as possible. Begin with all of the frosting on top and then slowly move the frosting over the top of the cake, and down the sides. Using an icing spatula continue to frost the sides of the cake.
*For the messy, lined icing look as seen on my cake simply take a think icing spatula and run it all around the cake lightly to form parallel lines. A cake turntable makes this extremely easy.
Spread batter evenly between the 3 prepared pans and sprinkle mini chocolate chips in each pan.
**All images original to Waiting On Martha. This post was sponsored by Bahlsen North America, a brand I love and order. Recipe and opinions are 100% my own.
I took one look at that cake when you first posted it and knew you would win …and you did! Congratulations!!! You deserve it …the cake is phenomenal!
I'm going to have to try this recipe very soon. Thanks for sharing!

COLUMNS Neo-Crusaders of Europe
Libya, Algeria and Sudan. All three are located on the African continent, self-proclaimed Arab countries with Muslims being the majority in each population.
Libya has yet to recover from the process that started with the notorious NATO bombardment. Crowds, away from their human feelings, who celebrated the lynching of Moammar Gadhafi are now confronted with the dark future of their fragmented country years later. The knot of Libya, which has been divided between Khalifa Haftar's forces and the Libyan Government of National Accord's forces, has yet to be untied eight years later.
On the other hand, Algeria, a country of beautiful people who resisted the French occupation in which millions were martyred, was shaken by street demonstrations for weeks. Later, when the army issued a memorandum, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who was in power for two decades, announced his resignation. We no longer have Bouteflika, who stills holds the title of the youngest foreign minister, who invited Yasser Arafat for the first time to address the U.N. General Assembly, while serving as the secretary-general of the U.N., who saved his country from a 10-year civil war, but who also "overstepped the limit" by insisting on a fifth term as president. However, it seems that the military bureaucratic oligarchy will resist. The leaders are withdrawing, but the structure that created them is resisting the downfall. In Sudan, people have been in the streets for more than a month. In this way, they ensured a military coup against President Omar al-Bashir. However, in a country where presidents come to power through a tradition of military coups, it is unclear to what extent the protesters' demand for the formation of "a civilian government" will be satisfied.
Nevertheless, demonstrators found the right address: Will the army intervene with the demonstrators who continue staging a sit-in with thousands of people in front of the Sudanese Ministry of Defense? Or will they allow it as they promised as long as the protesters do not resort to violence? Or, will al-Bashir and the National Intelligence and Security Service authorities be judged in line with the articles in the demands? While all this remains unknown, the demonstrations continue.
After the Arab Spring wave, the first of which took place nine years ago, we are again faced with an equation with many unknowns. Syria, where the winds of spring were said to blow, has been torn to pieces. Millions of people have become refugees, while more than 500,000 people have been killed. Hopes for peace in Syria, where the opposition cannot become a united force, have come to depend on the agreement of foreign countries.
Meanwhile in Egypt, the counter-revolution lasted only two years. Moreover, with people, the majority of whom were on the streets in the period of revolution as well, pouring onto the streets again, the military coup took place. Most liberals and leftists, who celebrated the 2013 coup as a "revolution" back then, are either in prison or in forced exile now. The number of political detainees is increasing, and political executions are being recklessly implemented. An Egyptian parliamentary resolution issued last Tuesday paved the way for coup-staging leader Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi to stay in power until 2030 and appoint judges as he wishes.
So, the only country where the relatively democratic process remains functional is Tunisia. This is thanks to the Ennahda administration, adopting the Muslim Brotherhood view, which renounced the government despite having the majority of the vote, paving the way for a coalition government. But for Rached Ghannouchi's foresight, we could also see a coup process in Tunisia as in Egypt today.
The course of events will show whether we, as Muslims, have learned the necessary lessons in 10 years when we have gone through the times of enthusiasm and excitement dubbed the "Arab Spring."

The Gambling Act 2003 (the Act) is the first law in New Zealand to regulate remote interactive gambling. Remote interactive gambling is prohibited, with limited exceptions for the Lotteries Commission, the Racing Board and sales promotion schemes in the form of a lottery. Interactive gambling is classified as gambling via a communication device, including computers, telephones, radios and similar devices. It is also illegal to advertise and promote online gambling. Residents of New Zealand are allowed to gamble with offshore websites and to take part in gambling outside New Zealand.
It is illegal for anyone to operate remote interactive gambling from within New Zealand other than racing and sports events provided by the TAB (a state-run gambling operator); remote gambling conducted by the New Zealand Lotteries Commission (NZLC); and sales promotions that are lotteries. Fines of up to NZD 50,000 for organizations and NZD 10,000 for individuals can be imposed for participating in unauthorized remote gambling.
In June 2010, the New Zealand courts declared that playing poker is a game requiring skill and dismissed charges brought against .net poker site domains that were thought to be violating New Zealand's Gambling Act of 2003. The courts ruled that .net websites are not gambling sites and are not related to their .com partner sites. It also ruled that .net advertisements are not promotions for gambling operators and that poker tournaments are not gambling but a form of competition. The verdict for the .net sites such as PokerStars.net and the Asia Pacific Poker Tour was based on the fact that they were not specifically promoting online gambling.
In April 2015, the government announced it was going to clamp down on online overseas betting by punters who were sidestepping the TAB's domestic monopoly.

Innisfail attractions to experience during your northern adventure.
Well known for it's legendary fishing, the visitors and residents of the Cassowary Coast can fish well for both freshwater and tidal species in most of it's waterways.
Fish species such as Sooty Grunter, Jungle Perch, Tarpon, Mangrove Jack and Barramundi can be caught throughout most of the freshwater/ brackish areas of it's river systems and Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Javelin Fish, Trevally, Bream, Queenfish, and Golden Snapper (called big scale by locals) in the salt water/tidal zones. There are a number of boat ramps in the area, finding a launch site is not a problem.
Offshore reef fishing is very popular and Innisfail is home to large commercial and recreational fishing boat fleets. Some of the best seafood can be caught offshore or purchased from local fish marketers based in the heart of Innisfail.
For those that do not have a boat there are a number of areas that are easily accessible. One of the most popular is the town wharf at the junction of the North and South Johnstone Rivers.
Since 1993 both the North and South Johnstone Rivers have benefited from a Barramundi Stocking Program jointly managed by the Department of Primary Industries and the Johnstone Shire Fish Stocking Society. This program has resulted in more than 300,000 micro-tagged barramundi of various sizes being released into the system. Anglers are now reaping the benefits of this program by catching fish measuring up to one-metre long on a regular basis.

According to a new report from Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), when it comes to K-12 schools in the United States, solar power is passing with flying colors. Specifically, there are currently 5,489 schools (elementary through high school) being powered by solar. You can read the entire report–and learn more infographic style–via The Solar Foundation. Seeing how there's been a lot of crummy news as of late, this just might give you a little hope for the future, too.

What are certain Swiss scientists up to? Oh, you know, making jet fuel out of air, sunlight, and water. In the words of Dr. Furler, "Oil is a limited resource; at some point you will run out. What we propose is another route to the same chemical, using solar energy." (EcoWatch) Ah, smart people . . .
Speaking of smart, check out this Smart greenhouse. It's made up of a Wavelength Selective Photovoltaic System (WSPV), which uses transparent roof panels imbedded with a magenta luminescent dye to absorb some of the blue and green wavelengths of sunlight and transfer it to narrow photovoltaic strips that generate electricity. Michael Loil, professor of environmental studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz, explains: "I thought the plants would grow more slowly, because it's darker under these pink panels. The color of the light makes it like being on the Red Planet. Plants are sensitive not just to the intensity of light, but also to color . . . turns out the plants grow just as well." If not better. (Clean Technica) Crazy, no?

Q: Maven: how to compile project with input parameters I compile my project like this:
mvn clean install

But my project has the different parameters for another servers and I need to fix it after compilation (for example location=prod on production server and location=dev on local server)
I have a pice of code in my web.xml like this:
<init-param>
     <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
     <param-value>
          classpath:/properties-config.xml
     </param-value>
</init-param>

I want to use the variable location like this :

classpath:/${location}/properties-config.xml

A: Try to pass it like a VM argument: -Dargument=value
so run maven will be: mvn clean install -Dlocation=dev
it works for me, but not in web-xml.
Hope this will help u.


The idea of the painting started as just a water nymph playing with fish. But then I thought of wisps. In European lore, the wisps are evil little rascals led people to their deaths or got them lost somewhere deep in the swampy areas. I felt I had to make my own interpretation of wisps. So a lonely water nymph decided to make the wisps to go out and bring souls to her little pool. What better creatures to change into wisps but the fish living with her. Who knows maybe the souls she collects become the fish.

A Thank-You Note to Books in General (And Our 27 Current Favorites Specifically)
Posted on February 3, 2017 August 23, 2018
Dear Literature,
Thank you for keeping us entertained, making us think, showing us other worlds, and offering glorious distraction when reality has us freaking out. What would we do without you? We love you forever.
Here's what you'll find in the bookbags and on the bedside tables of our staff book-lovers right now:
Two little girls meet in dance class and become fast friends, until one proves to be a much better dancer and a much less stable person and the whole thing falls apart. Zadie Smith proves that great literature can also be a great read. This book is a joy. – Recommended by Ann Patchett

By Rachel Cusk

Whatever Happened to Interracial Love?: Stories
By Kathleen Collins

Collins was a playwright and film director before her untimely death at the age of 46, and each of her short stories is a like a perfect scene in your favorite movie. – Recommended by Lindsay Lynch

It reads like a thriller because Olson never lets you forget what is at stake. – Recommended by Andy Brennan
S.P.Q.R: A History of Ancient Rome
By Mary Beard
The winter months are a great time to read that book you've been putting off. For me, it's Mary Beard's SPQR — a sweeping history of all aspects of Roman history. A renowned classicist, Beard illustrates why Rome is still relevant today, with a passion for the subject that appeals to students of Roman history as well as newcomers. – Recommended by Andy Brennan

By Hugh Howey
I had missed this utterly riveting sci-fi thriller until a friend put it into my hands over the holidays. The twists and turns are as complex as the silo Howley creates, and the characters are so sharply rendered that they're unforgettable. – Recommended by Grace Wright
By Katherine Arden
In Katherine Arden's enchanting debut, historical fiction entwines with magical realism to weave a stunning tale that reminds us of the dangers of fear and of not minding old tales about creatures from the forest. – Recommended by Grace Wright
Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady's Guide to Sex, Marriage, and Manners
By Therese Oneill
I adore Jenny Lawson's humor. When I saw that she recommended this book, I grabbed it and could not put it down. Go back in time with us and freak out about how gross it was. – Recommended by Sissy Gardner
A Tale for the Time Being
By Ruth Ozeki
Ruth finds a Hello Kitty lunchbox washed up on the beach of her remote island home. It is the diary of a 16-year-old girl named Nao, written in Japanese, along with an old watch and some letters. Switching between Ruth deciphering the contents of the lunchbox and Nao struggling through her life in Tokyo, this novel is such a beautiful and smart exploration of finding meaning and happiness. If you didn't read it when it came out, pick it up in paperback now. – Recommended by Catherine Bock
Sometimes when the going gets tough I like to set aside that serious literary novel that's collecting dust on my nightstand and hole up with a fun, breezy whodunit that's just plain brain candy. This funny thriller did the trick for me, so I'm looking forward to tuning into HBO on February 19 for the much buzzed-about six-episode miniseries adaptation starring Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman. – Recommended by Katherine Klockenkemper
Unf*ck Your Habitat: You're Better Than Your Mess
By Rachel Hoffman
I'm so excited that Unf*ck Your Habitat, a lifestyle blog I follow, is finally a book! I've employed many of Hoffman's tidying and simplifying tips in my own home and life, and recommend this book to anyone who wants to declutter their lives and spaces with the help of straightforward, no-BS advice that cuts to the chase and actually WORKS. – Recommended by Katherine Klockenkemper
First Editions Club — February Selection
By George Saunders
When a book has a lot of buzz behind it or is by an author I admire a great deal, I bring a certain amount of skepticism to reading it. I worry that it might not measure up to my hopes, so I try to minimize how excited I get and remind myself to lower my expectations. (Maybe not the best approach for all of life, but I find it works for reading.)
Well, my plan didn't work for Lincoln in the Bardo. I barely got my eagerness in check before diving right in, and I was immediately struck by the ambitious originality of the concept and the magic George Saunders creates on every page.
Set in the sorrow-filled days after the death of Abraham Lincoln's young son, the story shows us a despairing Lincoln visiting his son's tomb. We watch as Willie's spirit interacts with his father and with the Greek chorus-like cast of souls that populate the cemetery. I'll stop there and let you enjoy the rest yourself. I can say without hyperbole that this novel is unlike anything I have read before, so don't worry — there's no need to lower your expectations.
Yours in Reading,
Catherine Bock

"It's All About the Book"
More thoughts on reading from Kathy Schultenover, Parnassus Book Clubs Manager:
What's the best book you've read with your book club in the last year? Surveys of our store clubs in years past have named Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger, Shotgun Lovesongs by Nick Butler, and The Paris Wife by Paula McLain as annual favorites.
In this year's store survey, two "quiet" choices emerged as the most popular titles. In the Parnassus Book Club (which reads primarily contemporary fiction), members chose Kent Haruf's final novel, Our Souls at Night. It was also the book that drew the highest attendance of the year, with nearly 90 people showing up to discuss it. Our Souls is a "little book" — short, sparely and beautifully written, the story of two 70- year-old neighbors who form a friendship, then a deeper relationship, all becoming complicated by neighbors, adult children, and grandchildren. Kent Haruf explores the need all of us have for acceptance and love.
The favorite of the Parnassus Classics Club was Stoner, written more than 50 years ago by John Williams. It tells the story of a quiet, unassuming, and rather undistinguished English professor at a midwestern university — and his teaching, navigation of academic politics, long unhappy marriage, eventual discovery of love, and relationship with a distant daughter. He's an everyman the reader can identify with. Like Our Souls at Night, Stoner deals with the many forms love takes in a person's life and how love directs and drives us all. I think it's this universal quality that makes these two such popular titles with our clubs and with book clubs everywhere.
I'd love to hear about what your clubs are reading. Stop by and let me know!

Chang, J. and Rieple, A.
Purpose – The aim of this paper is to present an exploratory study that examined the development of students' entrepreneurial skills over time within live projects.
Design/methodology/approach – In this study, students worked alongside real-life entrepreneurs and financiers. Students' perceptions of their skills were assessed using both quantitative and qualitative data, which were gathered during weeks 1, 6 and 12 of the programme.
Findings – The results showed significant changes in students' perceptions of their skills over time. At the outset students were confident about their abilities across the 17 categories of entrepreneurial skills developed by Lichtenstein and Lyons and Lyons and Lyons. Later on in the projects, their confidence in certain skills declined significantly; what these were varied according to the time of data collection. The qualitative data provided more detailed accounts of students' perceptions of their skills and why they had changed over time.
Originality/value – This study makes a contribution in providing insights into the nature and practice of an experiential learning approach. The results indicate that the development of entrepreneurial skills can be improved by providing a learning environment in which students interact with real business people in live projects. They also indicate that entrepreneurship education programmes may be improved by scheduling skills training in a more structured and timely manner than typically occurs now. Students' perceptions of their skills declined substantially over the course of the projects, with some variations, suggesting that educators need to provide different and more timely learning interventions to cater for the specific needs of students working in live projects.


Children's media – both the media produced specifically for children and the much wider category of media they engage with in practice – periodically occasion a particularly fraught struggle between the market-oriented policies of competition and deregulation on the one hand, and the cultural or citizen-oriented policies designed to meet children's needs and interests and to protect them from harm, on the other. In this struggle, policies for competition and deregulation are positioned as generic – they apply, ideally, to all media markets and within this, children tend to figure as a special case, grounds for making an exception, if they figure at all. Policies for cultural and citizen needs, however, are specific to the constituency at issue – children, in this case, but in other contexts older people, minority ethnic groups, rural populations, and so forth. Although guided by general principles (of universal service, fairness of redress, right to privacy, value for money, etc.), these policies cannot themselves be applied in a manner that is uniform across the population. Managing the balance, struggle even, between the generic principles of the market and the specific needs of particular constituencies of citizens is difficult, and for a largely economic regulator such as Ofcom, it can seem easiest to prioritise the former, so that meeting the needs of the market becomes 'the rule' over the latter, where meeting the needs of children becomes 'the exception'.
