I live in my home town. The town I was raised in. I haven't lived here always, but I have lived here mostly.
In my very early years it was all I knew. There was the sea to one side and mountains that curved all around the rest. There was the main street and the school bus that took me from one end of it to the other and back again, everyday. There were the houses of my relations and my school friends. There were Summers on stony beaches because there was no money for foreign holidays and Saturday mornings at drama classes, in a function room above a pub that stunk of spilled beer and cigarettes.
When I was 12, I started secondary school in another town. I slowly edged my way into a wider space by spending time with friends from other villages and towns up and down the train line. I went all the way into the city centre now for Saturday morning drama lessons. (Alone!) The room stuffy with the odour of pubescent bodies. And probably still cigarettes, because people could smoke wherever they pleased back then.
But, at age 12 I was commuting over 12 hours a week. So, exhausted by age 14, I decided to cut it down (barely) by joining a local youth theatre. Now my Saturday mornings were spent a few minutes walk from my home, in a musty, black box that held the hordes of teenagers it welcomed in some sort of magical trance. Saturday afternoons were spent in a cafe near the beach. Six of us sitting over three cups of 'lemon zinger' tea for hours. Summer evenings were spent outside the amusement arcades. There was no money to actually play anything at the arcades but there were boys to look at and teenage dramas to both witness and be a part of.
I knew my town well then. I knew which houses along the endless streets, that ran parallel with the strand, I would buy when I was older. I knew the secret gates that lead up the side of the mountain from the Newcourt Road. I knew the best place along the Dargle to catch minnows. I knew that there were strange treasures to be found on the back-strand as the sea eroded the ancient dump beneath the golf course. I knew not to talk to the men that played 'pitch and toss' under a wide oak tree in the park.
I knew that it was a seven minute walk from my house to my bus stop for school. I knew that it took more than five minutes to get from the beach to the top of the Putland Hill - so I'd usually have to run to get to my aunt's house for the curfew that was a half hour later than my mother's curfew. I knew the rough feel of the granite platform under the statue of the Wyvern outside the townhall. I knew all the different shades of brown the river could be and that sometimes, when it got high, my father would go out in the middle of the night to measure the depth with a long stick, in case it flooded again.
...but then came the time when I felt I barely knew this place at all.
It felt for a long, long time that I never really lived where I lived. I wouldn't see the main street for months on end. I didn't know which cafés and restaurants were half-decent or what the inside of the Mermaid Theatre looked like or that Kilruddery even existed. I didn't feel like it was really my town anymore, despite being a native. 'Blow-ins' would tip me off about new places opening and old places closing down and I would feel a bit displaced. Out of the loop. A bit of a fraud. Did I really live in a place I knew nothing about? Even having children changed little. I was still working in the city and in the evening, the four walls of my house were mostly all I saw.
It was only when I was made redundant two years ago and decided to take some time out of the workforce that I really re-connected with the town I love so well. Now I spend spend a lot of my time in and around my town and I can tell you that, on a clear day, you can see the faraway Poolbeg chimneys from the top of the Vevay Hill. I can tell you where to go for a meal that will make you feel like you're suddenly on holidays in Tuscany. I can tell you about all the cafés that have free Wifi and all the ones that don't. I know what the inside of the Mermaid theatre looks like and we go to Kilruddery at least once a week. I know that the latest Burrito place only lasted a week before it shut - but that it's probably for the best because they had things like chorizo and feta in their burritos... I have become good friends with people who live two doors down from me but that I'd never seen before even though they'd lived there for years. I know the library opening hours and that it's quicker to walk the school run than to drive it on wet mornings. I know that the place to catch minnows is inaccessible now because of the flood prevention works but I watch my girls monitor the colour change in the river as we cross it everyday.
And there is a comfort in knowing a place so intimately.
In recognising each crack in the pavement as if it was a line on your own hand.
In living where you live.
A few people have contacted me to say that this post had inspired them to write about their own love for where they live. I've decided, therefore, to make this a linky and I'm excited to collect all of these stories here. I can't wait to discover how you live where you live. Click the little icon below to join in.
Really beautiful post! I know some of these places. The names send me right back to childhood, familiar place names that rolled off the adults' tongues, although now I cannot remember where those places are, but there is a lovely comfort in hearing them again.
Sadhbh that was the most beautiful piece iv read in a long time. Evokes all sorts of emotions and memories and I still live here too. Super Well done.
I love this post. We're often too busy to notice all the beauty in the ordinary places that we live.
Thanks Laura! Yes! Coming home from work on a Friday evening and the smell from Henry & Rose teasing you from the bridge - hard to resist! And I think you're right. I lived in Cavan for a couple of years but never settled there and definitely didn't embrace it - although I believed I would - but I think that's the most important thing. If you can accept and embrace where you live you'll probably find a lot to love about it.
Makes me want to write an ode to my own home town. Wonderful.
I get this. I moved away from my hometown at a later age of 24. Delighted to see the back of it. I found myself during that time. I moved back about 15 years later with a gaggle of kids and now my hometown is THEIR hometown. Sometimes I like circles.
This is just beautiful, Sadhbh. Gorgeously written.
Thanks so much, Nicola. It must be alright! I tend not to notice most days but sometimes something small can inspire a whole host of memories and make me write things like this!
Such a lovely read Sadhbh, it's lovely to hear that you find comfort in knowing your home town so intimately. I linked up an old post I wrote about mine, hope that's okay.
Thanks so much. Loved your piece. I love the sound of where you come from!
It's so beautifully written - I could feel every part of it. It got me thinking too, that I have lots of places but no one place like you do. My childhood in Cork was so long ago and I haven't been back in a while (though, oh, the nostalgia now that I think about it!) and during my teens in Blackrock, it was all about hanging around in Stillorgan and trying to get into the Bull and Bear - I didn't discover Dun Laoghaire Pier or Killiney Hill until I was a grownup. Wow, you really got me thinking. Gorgeous post.
Love this. I must write my own post.
I was sure I had commented on this weeks ago but I see now that I didn't. It really is a lovely post, so sincere and intimate.

Vatican newspaper paid tribute to the Beatles on 40th anniversary of "White Album"
(CNN) -- When John Lennon remarked in 1966 that the Beatles were then "more popular than Jesus" his comments prompted outrage in the United States. But this weekend the Vatican's newspaper paid tribute to the band on the 40th anniversary of the release of the "White Album" in an article interpreted by some as a papal pardon for Lennon.
John Lennon appears with wife Yoko Ono in 1968, two years after he made his "more popular than Jesus" comments.
CNN's Alessio Vinci spoke to Steve Turner, author "The Gospel According To The Beatles," about the controversy that helped to end the Beatles' touring career.
Q: Was Lennon surprised by the storm his comment generated?
A: I think John Lennon was surprised because it had been said in a casual way to a journalist who was a personal friend of his and he had no idea it would cause that sort of controversy. When it did happen he was actually quite frightened because they were about to go off on tour and there were these threats to their lives and a clairvoyant made some predictions that their plane would crash. It was really quite frightening and they wanted to cancel the tour but they knew they couldn't. They were under obligation to the tour promoters. And when he made his apology in Chicago, (the band's) press officer told me that John was actually in tears before he went in to make the apology.
A: His apology was very carefully worded. He never said "I didn't mean that;" he kind of said, "if it was taken that way, that's not what I meant," but he never actually retracted it. The reason it happened that way, in America particularly, is that people thought the Beatles were getting too big, too proud and it was a way of putting them down and I think people grabbed that opportunity.
Q: Did they care at all what the Vatican newspaper had to say at the time?
A: I don't know that the Beatles had any particular concern about what the Vatican said. I know the Vatican did say something at the time. But by that time, everybody was pitching in with their opinion, and it just kind of gathered pace.
Q: If he were alive, what would he say about his "rehabilitation?"
A: It's very hard to say what John Lennon would say now if he knew that the pope had forgiven him or the Catholic Church had forgiven him because on the one hand he wrote to an American evangelist called Oral Roberts and said he had been very sorry. But in a book he said he was very glad that it had happened because it effectively ended the Beatles. Because that tour was so bad that it became the last tour the Beatles ever did. So he thought, "Thank you Jesus for causing this to happen -- because you gave me a solo career."
Q: How spiritual were the Beatles?
A: The Beatles started out as atheists and agnostics and I think as everybody knows they became more interested in spiritual things. They went out to India in 1968 and I think in a way the Beatles became a spiritual force themselves. And I think that John actually saw that. He saw Christianity and rock 'n' roll as competitors. Only three years later, after 1966, you had the Woodstock festival and you get rock music almost performing a religious function. So I think in a way he was aware of what was happening. The Beatles were almost becoming a religion and exerting a spiritual force over people.

Q: inf and sup of the sequence $c_n=\left[\left|(-1)^n\left(\frac{n+1}{n}\right)\right|\right].$ Let $c_n=\left[\left|(-1)^n\left(\frac{n+1}{n}\right)\right|\right].$
I am stuck in finding $\inf(c_n)$ and $\sup(c_n).$

A: HINT: First note that
$$(-1)^n\left(\frac{n+1}n\right)=(-1)^n\left(1+\frac1n\right)\;.$$
Now $1<1+\frac1n<2$ for $n\ge 2$, so $-2<-\left(1+\frac1n\right)<-1$ for $n\ge 2$, and we have
$$c_n=\left\lfloor 1+\frac1n\right\rfloor=1$$
when $n\ge 2$ is even and
$$c_n=\left\lfloor-\left(1+\frac1n\right)\right\rfloor=-2$$
when $n\ge 2$ is odd. If you combine these two facts with a correct calculation of $c_1$, you should have little trouble determinine $\sup_nc_n$ and $\inf_nc_n$.

You may recognise adventure lifestyle photographer Isaac Johnston from the new BMW F 750 GS film and stories but in June he'll be swapping his trusty camera for a microphone, to bring you all the Int. GS Trophy news direct from the depths of Mongolia.
Gravel roads – also a favorite discipline of Isaac.
The adventure lifestyle photographer has made storytelling his forte, so who better to bring us the highlights of the day — every day — than the 33-year-old American who thrives on inspiring others to get outdoors, seize those joyful moments and chase their dreams.
Enjoying the moment and always looking forward to the next adventure: Isaac and a couple of friends.
Despite living in splendid rural isolation in Montana, Isaac is well travelled and his inspiring Instagram stories have given him a following that transcends international borders. Riding with pleasure ever since he was a teenage boy, Isaac is driven by curiosity. "I chase excitement" he says about himself. So he went to yet another adventure riding with F 750 GS and some of his friends through southern Spain. To take his excitement on the next level, his next destination will be the Int. GS Trophy. However, like 99 per cent of those lucky enough to have a 'ticket' to this year's event, this will be his first time in Mongolia.
Happy to share the news.
Isaac Johnston loves to ride the BMW F 750 GS.
Like many of us, Isaac would love the opportunity to compete at the Int. GS Trophy, as he's a talented and competitive rider. Perhaps he can try to qualify for a future event? However for now, he feels very lucky to have the chance to share the highlights directly with so many fans following from a distance across the globe.
Isaac's father was a radio host who owned his own station and he fondly remembers growing up listening to his father hosting many talk shows. While Isaac is more used to being behind the camera than in front of it, he nonetheless embraces the challenge of high-pressure situations.
Comradeship inspires and moves Isaac – he will also experience this during the International GS Trophy.
"Not everyone is comfortable with a large crew around, with cameras in front and behind you, and drones overhead, but I am fine with that.
It sounds as if Isaac will be more than up to the task of fronting the daily highlights from the Int. GS Trophy and he'll surely be welcomed by the GS community out in central Asia, who he'll be riding alongside, interviewing and sharing the pure joy of the competition with.

Q: Creating pie chart from dict and changing the arrows I have some count data in dict like this:
data = {'a_column': 20, 'b_column': 130,
        'c_column': 140, 'd_column': 300, 'e_column': 150,
        'f_column': 170, 'g_column': 10, 'h_column': 20, 'i_column': 250,'j_column': 54}

I want to plot a pie chart, something like this:

What I have tried:
base_d = sum(list(data.values()))
final_data = {k:m/base_d*100 for k,m in data.items()}
final_data

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 5), subplot_kw=dict(aspect="equal"))
recipe = list(final_data.keys())
data = list(final_data.values())
wedges, texts = ax.pie(data, wedgeprops=dict(width=0.5), startangle=-40)
bbox_props = dict(boxstyle="square,pad=0.3", fc="w", ec="k", lw=0.72)
kw = dict(arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="-"),
          bbox=bbox_props, zorder=0, va="center")

for i, p in enumerate(wedges):
    ang = (p.theta2 - p.theta1)/2. + p.theta1
    y = np.sin(np.deg2rad(ang))
    x = np.cos(np.deg2rad(ang))
    horizontalalignment = {-1: "right", 1: "left"}[int(np.sign(x))]
    connectionstyle = "angle,angleA=0,angleB={}".format(ang)
    kw["arrowprops"].update({"connectionstyle": connectionstyle})
    ax.annotate(recipe[i], xy=(x, y), xytext=(1*np.sign(x), 1.4*y),
                horizontalalignment=horizontalalignment, **kw)

plt.show()

But that is giving me like this:

How I can make the arrows like expected image and remove the border around the labels?

A: Part 1 (of 3)
As suggested by @JohanC commented out #bbox=bbox_props to remove boxes, changed 1*np.sign(x) to 1.4*np.sign(x) to spread labels wider along X, computed percentages perc[i] and added them to labels inside ax.annotate(...). Final picture looks like (code below picture):

Final Code:

data = {'a_column': 20, 'b_column': 130,
        'c_column': 140, 'd_column': 300, 'e_column': 150,
        'f_column': 170, 'g_column': 10, 'h_column': 20, 'i_column': 250,'j_column': 54}

base_d = sum(list(data.values()))
final_data = {k:m/base_d*100 for k,m in data.items()}
final_data

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 5), subplot_kw=dict(aspect="equal"))
recipe = list(final_data.keys())
data = list(final_data.values())
perc = [str(round(e / s * 100., 1)) + '%' for s in (sum(data),) for e in data]
wedges, texts = ax.pie(data, wedgeprops=dict(width=0.5), startangle=-40)
bbox_props = dict(boxstyle="square,pad=0.3", fc="w", ec="k", lw=0.72)
kw = dict(arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="-"),
          #bbox=bbox_props,
          zorder=0, va="center")

for i, p in enumerate(wedges):
    ang = (p.theta2 - p.theta1)/2. + p.theta1
    y = np.sin(np.deg2rad(ang))
    x = np.cos(np.deg2rad(ang))
    horizontalalignment = {-1: "right", 1: "left"}[int(np.sign(x))]
    connectionstyle = "angle,angleA=0,angleB={}".format(ang)
    kw["arrowprops"].update({"connectionstyle": connectionstyle})
    ax.annotate(recipe[i] + ' ' + perc[i], xy=(x, y), xytext=(1.4*np.sign(x), 1.4*y),
                horizontalalignment=horizontalalignment, **kw)

plt.show()

Part 2 (of 3)
If you have very many data entries then default coloring of pie chart doesn't look good, it has just 10-15 unique colors. I decided to make my own custom coloring based on rainbow colors. In my coloring even if you have 100 data entries then all colors are unique. In code below coloring is done inside ax.pie(... colors = ....). I made example image and code for rainbow coloring:

Try it online!
import numpy as np, math, random
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
random.seed(0)

data = {f'dat_{str(i).zfill(2)}' : random.random() for i in range(49)}

base_d = sum(list(data.values()))
final_data = {k:m/base_d*100 for k,m in data.items()}

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 5), subplot_kw=dict(aspect="equal"))
recipe = list(final_data.keys())
data = list(final_data.values())
perc = [str(round(e / s * 100., 1)) + '%' for s in (sum(data),) for e in data]
wedges, texts = ax.pie(data, wedgeprops=dict(width=0.5), startangle=-40,
    colors = (lambda C = 7: [plt.cm.gist_rainbow((i % C) / C + i // C * 1 / C / math.ceil(len(data) / C)) for i in range(len(data))])())
bbox_props = dict(boxstyle="square,pad=0.3", fc="w", ec="k", lw=0.72)
kw = dict(arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="-"),
          #bbox=bbox_props,
          zorder=0, va="center")

for i, p in enumerate(wedges):
    ang = (p.theta2 - p.theta1)/2. + p.theta1
    y = np.sin(np.deg2rad(ang))
    x = np.cos(np.deg2rad(ang))
    horizontalalignment = {-1: "right", 1: "left"}[int(np.sign(x))]
    connectionstyle = "angle,angleA=0,angleB={}".format(ang)
    kw["arrowprops"].update({"connectionstyle": connectionstyle})
    ax.annotate(recipe[i] + ' ' + perc[i], xy=(x, y), xytext=(1.4*np.sign(x), 1.4*y),
                horizontalalignment=horizontalalignment, **kw)

plt.show()

Part 3 (of 3)
Also decided to improve the case of very many entries (around 100 entries). Did next improvements: 1) separated along X odd and even entries. 2) put all labels uniformly along Y (before they were uniform along angle). 3) made smaller font.

          zorder=0, va="center")

for i, p in enumerate(wedges):
    ang = (p.theta2 - p.theta1) / 2. + p.theta1
    y = np.sin(np.deg2rad(ang))
    x = np.cos(np.deg2rad(ang))
    yc = np.arcsin(y) / (np.pi / 2)
    horizontalalignment = {-1: "right", 1: "left"}[int(np.sign(x))]
    connectionstyle = f'angle,angleA=0,angleB={ang}'
    kw["arrowprops"].update({"connectionstyle": connectionstyle})
    ax.annotate(recipe[i] + ' ' + perc[i], xy = (0.8 * x, 0.8 * y), xytext = ((1.0 + (i % 2) * 0.4) * np.sign(x), 1.4 * yc),
                horizontalalignment = horizontalalignment, fontsize = 'x-small', **kw)

plt.show()

A: I did two thing.
1.Calculate the percentage add to label
2.remove the box style

Q: How to deal with macros in ANTLR4 if they are not expanded before parsing I'd like to parse code that relies on macros which should not be replaced before parsing.
After parsing I'd like to:

*

*pretty print the code

*extract some information

Therefore I thought I'll need a way to "keep" the macro somehow while still expand it to satisfy the grammar.
Some sample code similar to what I need:
In SomeFile there are some macros defined:
// other code...

// macro definitions look like this:
// a bunch of #define statements inside {}
// So every "{" start a macro scope (except inside strings of course)
{
  #define ASSERT if ((
  #define IS_TRUE )==true) throw new AssertionFailed();
  #define IS_FALSE )==false) throw new AssertionFailed();
  #define MULTI_LINE_MACRO they   \
                           always end in  \
                           backslashes except the last line

}

// other code...

In a file I want to parse:
// similar to "#include" in C
import SomeFile, SomeOtherFile ;

function Myfunction : void

  ASSERT 1 == 1 IS_TRUE

end_function

I'd like to transform it for example into something like this:
import SomeFile, SomeOtherFile ;

function Myfunction : void

  ASSERT
      1 == 1
  IS_TRUE

end_function

And I'd also like to check if the macros are used correctly (for some "known" macros):
import SomeFile, SomeOtherFile ;

Having in view what happens in Here Walk the Dead saying that it was a fun read could be a little too much… but it was a fun, refreshing story in the sense that the author succeeded to get my attention with the main plot but also with the romantic aspects well embedded in the general flow of the story.
As it was known from the first volume or, if you didn't read it, from the description of this second book, the series is about the (probable) couple formed by the descendants of (in)famous Holmes and honorable Dr. Watson "yes, those Holmes and Watson". Inheriting and enriching some of their fathers' features, "physically incapable of staying out of trouble," the young Arabella and Henry are interesting; they do not perform under the shadow of the names Holmes and Watson, but carry on the tradition. I really liked them.
I liked the romance side of the story. It comes with doubts, insecurities, passion, and desire even jealousy. There is heat and there is decency. Brynn Chapman played with inspiration the romantic cards. Using different points of view, the author gave us a detailed complex view of the feelings between characters, goading us to choose a side.
The same inspiration allowed to Mrs. Chapman to bring Here Walk the Dead on the edge of the "dark" side of the mystery / suspense / thriller stories but, in the same time, to keep things under control and close enough to the light. This way, there is still hope there is still room for second chances. The real political, economic and social problems of early 1900 are not forgotten but used to fuel and back up the deeds of the characters.
The pace is an allegro, but there are also scenes in adante and presto tempos, depending on their nature and purpose. As the whole, they support the increasing tension that culminates in a life and death situation. Casualties? Yes. The possibility of a new chapter? Yes, and I cannot wait to read it!
From reading the reviews and description I know I'll enjoy this read.
Sounds awesome and great cover!
thank you for hosting and all of your comments! please drop me a line if you pick up the book!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review the book!


Keyboardist Alissa Duryee began her musical studies by studying the piano with Donaldo Garcia at the Manhattan School of Music Preparatory Division. After earning her BA at Vassar College in 1997, she came to France where she became a piano student of Gérard Frémy and Guigla Katsarava.
Several years later, motivated by an interest in understand the history of keyboard instruments, she constructed a clavichord. In 2001, a grant from the Harriet Hale Woolley Foundation allowed her to pursue this project further by building a French double manual harpsichord after Hemsch. She then became a harpsichord student, first of Olivier Baumont, then of Noëlle Spieth and Frédéric Michel. She earned a 'Diplôme Supérieur d'Etudes Musicales' at the Conservatoire National de Region de Paris, in 2007. She studied the fortepiano with Bart van Oort, as well as following masterclasses with Jérôme Hantaï and Malcolm Bilson. She earned an organ diploma in the classe of Patrick Delabre, titular organist of the Chartres Cathedral.
She has completed residencies at such institutions as the Banff Centre (Alberta, Canada) and the Abbaye de Royaumont (France), and has been invited to festivals in France and North America (les Journées Lyriques, les Clavecins de Chartres, the Amherst Early Music Festival) as pianist and harpsichordist. She has performed as clavichordist for the Boston Clavichord Society and advocates for early keyboards in many educational contexts, particularly in an annual 'Rencontre de Pianoforte' that she has organized since 2012.
In 2010, she was the winner (with cellist Jérôme Huille) of the Concours Musique au Centre, which allowed the duo to complete a recording project retracing the history of cello and keyboard repertoire through the centuries. Current projects include a recording using a historical clavichord situated in Bethlehem, PA, including contemporaneous repertoire by musicians active on the North American continent in the eighteenth century.
In addition to appearing regularly in concert as solist or member of various ensembles, she maintains a teaching career. Her pedagogical work strives to teach a broad spectrum of keyboard playing. She is the author of many pieces of music, mostly pedagogical in nature.

Litwiller adds responsibilities at Hearst
Published 11:10 am CST, Monday, January 6, 2020
ALTON — Lisa Yanick Litwiller has been named Director of Audience for the Hearst Community Newspapers, including The Telegraph in Alton, The Intelligencer in Edwardsville, and several newspapers in Illinois, Michigan and Texas.
In her new position, Litwiller will develop and execute an audience strategy for the community newspapers working with digital producers, editors and writers on innovative, new ways of storytelling.
For the past year she has helped Hearst Connecticut Media newsrooms engage audience and implement digital best practices. For six months she led a team of seven journalists in a national investigation of sexual abuse connected to Boys & Girls Clubs over decades.
A graduate of Central Michigan University, she and her husband have four children and live in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Before working for Hearst, she spent nearly two decades as a photographer, writer, editor and community engagement editor in small community newspapers, covering three counties with a staff of three. She also was a morning show co-host and news anchor for a top 40 radio station.
Litwiller has been a video, social media and investigative reporting trainer on the local, statewide and national level. She also was an adjunct instructor of photojournalism at Central Michigan for seven years.

Overall, the environment at the Cafe is very nice and the staffs were very professional and friendly. Once you finish your food, the plates are taken almost instantly. You will never get thirsty and they fill up your drinks all the time. Food at the buffet are always replenished so it never ends.


Though Nam Anna Don (NAD) is her third movie, actress Sana is extremely confident and popular.
Her smiling face is her plus point and she is sought after both on the small and big screen. Sana, who was last seen in Crazy Kutumba, is quite hopeful about NAD.
"I am playing the character of a nurse in NAD, which is something I had never thought of. My character is very lively and is completely opposite my role in Crazy Kutumba. It has all the masala and the audience will definitely enjoy my performance," says Sana, who has teamed up with Ramesh Aravind for the second time.
"I feel lucky to be part of his directorial venture. It's like a double bonus for me as Ramesh sir is acting in the movie as well as directing it. I was worried that he might lose his temper while juggling both. But he handled both the roles comfortably," she informs.
She says the entire unit had a gala time while shooting.
"It was a memorable experience to work with 25 to 30 kids who were facing the camera for the first time. Senior artistes like Raju Talikote, M S Umesh and Achuthkumar kept everyone in a good mood," she says. More than the shooting, it's the film promotion that was challenging for her.
"The best part of NAD was travelling through the State for the promotion of the film. We had gone to Gulbarga, Bijapur, Badami, Mangalore, Dharwad, Hassan and Shimoga and everywhere, we were welcomed wholeheartedly. People were thrilled as nobody had gone to these places for any promotional activity. I stepped into a jataka gadi (bullock cart) for the first time in my life. I have good memories of the road shows in open jeeps and tractors," informs Sana.
Sana is a household name now, thanks to her cookery show on the small screen. She hosted the show for eight months and received praises for her clarity of language. "Now, people recognise me wherever I go. Many women have told me that, inspired by me, they have started cooking with a smiling face. I receive a lot of calls and many people share their personal problems with me. I am touched by their love," she avers.
Though she is getting many offers to host TV shows, Sana says that her focus is acting. "I have a couple of offers from Sandalwood. But I didn't get time to go through the script as I was busy in the promotional activities of NAD. I will take a call on that once the film releases," says Sana.

I am an illustrator and also a skilled fine artist proficient in 2-D animation and sequential arts. In 2005, I formed Calavera Comics, a comic book company, with some colleagues from school. Besides comics and illustration, I am also experienced with audio and video editing, graphic design, as well as printing. Some of my works include: music flyers for groups such as Mastodon and Cage, concept art and storyboards for the upcoming "Ultimo Dragon" movie, plus my own comic series "Rudo" and "Pistolero". Currently, I reside in Tampa Florida, and have a BFA degree in Media Arts & Animation from the Art Institute of Tampa.
I would like to recommend Alexis Ziritt as a candidate for a position with your company. In his position as IT Student Worker, Alexis was employed with our IT department from 2005 to 2008 when I was the Director of Technology at the Art Institute of Tampa. Alexis did an excellent job in this position and was an asset to the IT support staff. He has excellent interpersonal skills, is extremely dependable, and is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure the job gets done.During his time with The Art Institute, Alexis was responsible for opening the Equipment Cage and Print Service areas each day at 7:00 AM. He was always on time and got the day started on the right foot. Praise for Alexis by campus faculty and staff was a common occurrence due to his willingness to assist them with getting their classes running in the computer labs, helping them with color prints and copies, and always providing service with a smile. Alexis would commonly need to juggle several tasks at the same time and handled all of them with a high level of quality and grace. He never allowed himself to get frustrated or overwhelmed even during the busiest times during finals and midterms when hundreds of students needed his assistance.Alexis was always willing to offer a helping hand at any time, even during hours between classes when he wasn't scheduled to work. It was common to find Alexis helping other employees across campus if they needed his assistance from Student Affairs to Facilities and often times as a courtesy to them as a volunteer. Due to Alexis' great attitude, willingness to help, and level head he would be an asset to any employer and I recommend him for this position.


Royals from across Europe turned out for the Buckingham Palace banquet.
It may not be her birthday, but Meghan Markle certainly drew attention at tonight's banquet in honor of the Prince of Wales.
The Duchess of Sussex was photographed leaving Kensington Palace for the event wearing a striking pair of diamond earrings, which appear to be the ones she wore last month in Fiji.
While Meghan is clearly a fan of the jewelry, its provenance is still something of a mystery.
When Meghan wore them in October, Emily Andrews, a royal correspondent and host of the royal news podcast "On Heir," reported that the pieces were 'borrowed,' but it's unclear from whom.
"All KP will say is that they're 'borrowed.' From whom, they will not say. Most likely the Queen," she said in a tweet.
Should more information be made available, we'll be sure to update.
Royals from across Europe will be in attendance at the party tonight, including King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, and King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway.
But this is hardly the first time Charles has celebrated his milestone birthday. While Harry and Meghan missed a concert and dinner thrown by Camilla in October (they were in the middle of their royal tour of the Oceania region), they were on-hand for a Buckingham Palace garden party in Charles's honor just a few days after their royal wedding in May.
On that occasion, Meghan wore a rather conservative blush pink look while Prince Harry gave a heartfelt speech about his father, highlighting his philanthropic and advocacy work.
"In fact, many of the issues William and I now work on are subjects we were introduced to by our father growing up," Harry continued. "His passion and dedication are remarkable and seeing so many of you here today i cannot fail but to be in awe of the drive he has had for so many years to contribute to the enrichment of society both in this country and around the world."


The US Treasury's 'Kremlin List' could harm the interests of European businesses, a major group of foreign investors in Russia has warned.
The list, published by the US Treasury earlier on Tuesday, features 210 people, including the entire Russian government and prominent businessmen. While the document is not a "sanctions list," it is still a matter of "deepest concern," the Association of European Businesses (AEB) warned.
"The members of the Association are convinced that the US Treasury's Report increases the uncertainty in the Russian business environment and can also affect the interests of European investors, European companies doing business in, or trading with Russia," the association said in a statement.
The organization, which brings together over 500 European companies in Russia, urged all the parties to abstain from any harsh moves after the publication of the document.
"The Association reiterates its calls on the Heads of States and Governments of the EU, the USA and Russia to refrain from actions, which can undermine the prospects of future economic cooperation," it said.
Russian Energy Minister Aleksandr Novak also warned of sanctions potentially backfiring on the whole global economy, especially its energy sector. The official found himself on the US Treasury's list alongside fellow Russian ministers.
"All sanctions, in fact, apart from political motives, aim to create obstacles for business which means hindering free market competition. I'm sure neither the American companies, nor the world economy as a whole, will benefit from them, since our countries are the major powers in the energy field. We'd be able to do much more for the industry with our efforts combined," Novak said.

Q: Browser does not set cookie In my NodeJS Express app (built with feathers); I'm trying to work with cookies with client-side fetch from client javascript. I have Express using the cooke-parser middleware.
I have tried setting the credentials header to same-origin, but that has stopped working (it worked fine yesterday, and a few times today... but I've been trying to build up the cookie to what I need and it just doesn't seem to reliably work).
This is my test express route:
app.post('/setjwt', (req, res, next) => {
 res.cookie('acokie', 'lol');
 res.status(200);
 res.send();
});

I'm using fetch in chrome dev tools console to test sending requests like so:
fetch('/setjwt', { method: 'POST', headers: { credentials: 'same-origin' } } );

These are the headers:

But there is no cookie listed in the Application tab nor available in document.cookie.
The reason I have this route is two fold:

*

*Understand how cookies work and interop with Express.

*Get rid of this hacky route altogether and get the headers/environment set up correctly so my feathers authentication service's Set-Cookie response header is respected by the browser.

The feathers client on the login page is set up with fetch as its rest implementation, and I can set

A: fetch('/setjwt', { method: 'POST', headers: { credentials: 'same-origin' } } ); won't work.
The credentials property cannot be specified like that with fetch. The correct code is:
fetch(
  '/setjwt',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    credentials: 'same-origin',
    headers: { whatever: 'somevalue' }
  });

As for setting it up so that the feathers authentication service would work,  again, it's not a normal header so brushing up on the documentation hopefully might yield something useful, but I don't think the feathers-rest wrapper over fetch supports passing non header options.

City of Cranbrook proposing sale of former Tembec Lands for $6M
Trevor Crawley
The City of Cranbrook is proposing to sell the former Tembec industrial lands for $6 million.
The proposed sale — to Peak Cranbrook Properties Ltd — includes 100 acres of industrial property and all associated buildings, structures and assets with the land, which the city acquired two years ago.
Brian Fehr is listed as a director with Peak Cranbrook Properties Ltd, which was incorporated this past August and has a registered address in Canal Flats. He is the founder of Peak Renewables, a company that converts wood fibre into industrial wood pellets for use in power plants and international markets.
Fehr is also the chairman of the board for Smartlam, which manufactures Cross Laminated Timber for sustainable green buildings, according to the company website.
He has spent a lifetime in the forestry sector, building up a billion dollar group of companies through BID Group, which pursued innovative concepts such as applying artificial intelligence to manufacturing and transforming maintenance practices.
Fehr was involved in the purchase of the former Canfor facility in Canal Flats, which was transformed from a forestry saw mill into the Columbia Lake Technology Centre. The centre has partnered with PodTech — a company that manufactures specialized and highly efficient data servers — and has a number of other ongoing investment opportunities.
The former Tembec lands in Cranbrook were purchased by the city in 2018 for $3 million, after sitting empty and unused for many years. The property formerly housed a Tembec sawmill operation.
At the time of the city's purchase, Mayor Lee Pratt touted the move a way to generate economic activity, with plans to subdivide the property and leasing out sections to interested parties in order to generate income in perpetuity.
City will pay $3 million for Tembec land: Mayor
Two years ago, C&C Wood Products leased a section of property, taking over and retrofitting a former Tembec finger-joint plant that remained on site and producing wood trim and siding that created 40 local jobs.
C&C Wood Products was first incorporated in 1977, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Callidus Capital Corporation on January 31, 2019.
However, C&C Wood Products, along with Westside Logging Ltd — a wholly-owned subsidiary of C&C Wood Products — filed for bankruptcy on June 2, 2020, with PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. appointed the trustee of all assets by the BC Supreme Court three days later.
Despite an attempt to restructure and pursuing strategic alternatives, efforts to create a cash-flow positive operation were unsuccessful, according to the bankruptcy filings.
The Cranbrook facility was put on care and maintenance as part of wind-down operations in January, while another facility in Quesnel was shut down in May.
The BC Supreme Court approved the sale of C&C Wood Product assets to Peak Renewables Ltd. in September.
Since the city's purchase of the former Tembec Lands two years ago, a number of efforts have been underway to get the property 'investment-ready' for prospective companies and entrepreneurs.
For example, a trio of contracts were awarded last summer to undertake a site investigation that would produce a plan to address environmental issues on the land, while other contracts involved a transportation network study, as well as a geotechnical and hydrological assessment.
Those three contracts came out to approximately $529,000.
During budget deliberations last year, the city approved a plan to install deep and shallow utilities on the property budgeted at $5.25 million. However, those plans were shelved as a response to mitigating financial impacts stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Śārṅgadeva (1175–1247) (), also spelled Sharngadeva or Sarnga Deva, was the 13th-century Indian musicologist who authored Sangita Ratnakara – the classical Sanskrit text on music and drama. It is considered to be the authoritative treatise in Indian classical music by both the Hindustani music and the Carnatic music traditions.

Śārṅgadeva was born in a Brahmin family of Kashmir. In an era of Islamic invasion of the northwest regions of the Indian subcontinent and the start of Delhi Sultanate, his family migrated south and settled in the Hindu kingdom in the Deccan region ruled by the Yadava dynasty near Ellora Caves (Maharashtra). Sarangadeva worked as an accountant with freedom to pursue his music interests in the court of King Simhana (r. 1210–1247).

Ideas
Śārṅgadeva presented his ideas on music and dance in seven chapters of Sangita Ratnakara, but integrated it with philosophical context. He systematically presented his ideas on the nature of sound, register, the smallest distinct sounds that humans can hear and musical instruments can produce (shruti), musical scales and modes, 264 ragas, beats and role of time (tala), prosody (Chandas), relation between performance arts and human emotions and sentiments, musical and vocal ornaments, the composition of drama and songs, and the limitless opportunities available to the artist to express and affect her audience.

According to Peter Fletcher – a professor of Music and Drama, Śārṅgadeva states in Sangita Ratnakara that "the composer was expected to be a competent performer, but he also made clear that the composer was expected to know his audience, and how their minds work, rising above his own likes and dislikes, in order to bring delight to everyone". Sarangadeva's views on music, states Fletcher, exemplified ideas in the Bhagavad Gita relating to non-attachment.

Influence
Śārṅgadeva is one of the most influential medieval era music theorists of the Indian subcontinent, and his book has been called "the first modern book on Indian classical music". The book is considered by some to be as significant as Bharata's Natya Shastra. This is the text in the Indian musicology that is referred to by both Carnatic and Hindustani Classical Music traditions. According to Don Randel, a professor of musicology, Śārṅgadeva's text is the most comprehensive treatise that interprets the Natya Shastra and Brihaddeshi of the ancient Indian music tradition.

Donations coming in for Turning Angel restoration
By Scott Hawkins
Published 7:08 pm Wednesday, July 1, 2020
NATCHEZ — Donations are coming in every day, Natchez City Cemetery officials said, to help fund restoration of the Turning Angel statue that was damaged last week in an apparent act of vandalism that knocked the monument off its pedestal.
"We are getting a good bit (of donations)," said Elise Rushing, president of the Natchez City Cemetery Board. "I'm not sure how much yet, because we get checks every day."
Rushing said contributions to the angel's restoration could be made out to Natchez City Cemetery/Turning Angel Fund, P.O. Box 1738, Natchez, Mississippi 39121. Also, Rushing said, cemetery board members are in the process of creating a Go Fund Me internet account to accept contributions and she is hopeful the page will be set up by the weekend.
The Turning Angel is a landmark of Natchez and has stood watch in the Natchez City Cemetery over five young girls who perished in a 1908 explosion at the former Natchez Drug Company since the drug company's owner placed the statue in honor of the victims.
The angel statue has been dubbed the "Turning Angel" because it appears to turn at night as cars drive past it along Cemetery Road.
Natchez City Cemetery workers discovered the statue had been knocked off its pedestal when they returned from lunch at approximately 12:30 p.m. June 23.
Natchez Police arrested Austin Petty, 20, of the Crosby-area on Friday and charged him with felony malicious mischief over $25,000 and a $50,000 bond. The charges could result in up to a $10,000 fine and 5 years in jail, officials said.
Police said surveillance video showed Petty arrived at the cemetery shortly after 1 a.m. on June 23 as a passenger in a white SUV with other occupants.
Petty allegedly jumped out of the vehicle and went to the Turning Angel as another passenger yelled at him not to do anything stupid.
Armstrong said Petty then climbed onto the statue and began to rock it when it fell over.
Armstrong said he had no information on any potential motive Petty might have had in turning over the statue other than it appeared to be a stunt that went too far.
"He just went too far with him up there pulling and pushing," Armstrong said, adding that someone speculated that Petty might have wanted to see if the Turning Angel actually turned, but Armstrong said he had no evidence of that. "He said he thought it was one piece and he was playing around with it, rocking it but he was not trying to knock it down and he is sorry. If it were all one piece it would have been all right."
Armstrong said it could have been worse if the statue had actually fallen on Petty or anyone else.
"Just that top piece is extremely heavy," Armstrong said. "I could not budge it when it was lying on the ground. No telling how much it weighs. It is way up in the weight I can tell you that. If it had fallen on him or anyone who was in the area it could have been a serious injury or death if it had fallen on somebody. After the fact, he was sorry about it."
Rushing said the cemetery board is still searching for the right company to do the restoration on the angel.
"We have some companies that are coming in to look at the angel and make proposals," Rushing said.

Mentallo and the Fixer – Burnt Beyond Recognition – Review
March 1, 1998 Bands, CDs, Electronic/Goth/Industrial Review, Reviews
Mentallo and the Fixer
Burnt Beyond Recognition (Metropolis)
by Lex Marburger
From Metropolis this month we have Numb, Seven Trees, Out Out, Mentallo and the Fixer, Swamp Terrorists, In Strict Confidence, :wumpscut:, and Download. Of course, the Download album, Charlie's Family, a soundtrack to a film by Jim Van Bebber, immediately stands out, using (I assume) clips from the film, along with the now-familiar unfamiliarity of Key, Goettel, and Western. You know it's gonna be creepy, you know it's gonna disturb you. Not made for dancing, more like unhealthy twitching. The Numb album, Blood Meridianis pretty good in the intros, usually schizzing out or creeping up before settling into the usual distorted stompalongs. The title track is a nice brooding change of pace, though, and "Critical Mass" has some involved hyperspeed fractal motion, and the whole album ends on a doom and gloom note. :wumpscut: released Embryodead, and it seems to be a Gothic synthcore thing, minor key string lines leading into thumping sequences and the ubiquitous distorted voice. Nice symphonic elements, it works better than most. Out Out's Finched isn't worth it. Swamp Terrorists have a good intro on Five in Japan, dark and menacing, but it simply moves into an industrial/metal hybrid that does no justice to either. Seven Trees doesn't stand out as anything particularly new with Embracing the Unknown, but they don't really suck, either. Sort of a Leæther Strip sound, dark, disturbing, you know. Mentallo and the Fixer ain't bad; Burnt Beyond Recognition could almost be used as a soundtrack to a techno-necro-sci-fi-hi-fi kinda thing. A corpse with a phaser. The new In Strict Confidence EP, Collapse, references Neubauten's first album in name only. More creepy electronics, with rotting vocal cords grunting out the typical keywords, "destruction," "blood," "brothers kill each other," etc. etc.

On-camera Acting
Why 'Ford v Ferrari' Has One of the Best Acting Ensembles of 2019
By Benjamin Lindsay | Nov. 19, 2019, 05:15 PM | Last Updated: Nov. 19, 2019, 05:24 PM

With this Year in Review, we at Backstage have picked through the weeds and found 2019's true gems of the best big- and small-screen ensemble work. And don't worry: We've got you covered with everything else you need to know this awards season right here.
Distributed by: Twentieth Century Fox (through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)
Directed by: James Mangold
Written by: Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth, Jason Keller
Casting by: Ronna Kress
Cast: Christian Bale, Caitriona Balfe, Jon Bernthal, Matt Damon, Noah Jupe, Tracy Letts, Josh Lucas, Ray McKinnon
What do you get when you combine the powers of one of today's most acclaimed and decorated character actors with one of the most beloved everymen of the big screen? If "Ford v Ferrari" is the barometer, you've got a rousing, real-life buddy dramedy—and two of the best performances of the year.
Oscar winner Christian Bale stars as Ken Miles, the inimitable legendary racecar driver whose hair-trigger temper is only matched by his livewire capabilities behind the wheel. He's unbeatable in the driver's seat. That's the hope, at least, for the Ford Motor Company and Henry Ford II, who begrudgingly employs Miles and former world champion-turned-car salesman Carroll Shelby, played by a never-better Matt Damon, to build a world-class racecar and beat Ferrari on the international stage in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1966.
"Ford v Ferrari" may well make you forget that you've seen and heard this underdog racing story before—even if you've never heard the tale of Miles and his iconic victory. (The Brit was posthumously inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2001.) And that's largely thanks to Bales and Damon, whose unfettered chemistry is so natural—Bale's working-class English brogue balanced by Damon's twangy Southern all-business gentleman—that it's a wonder they haven't worked together before. Their thrilling collaboration with director James Mangold (Oscar-nominated for "Logan") and screenwriter Jez Butterworth (a Tony winner this year for "The Ferryman") may be a first, but we'd bet it's not their last.
And that's to say nothing of the first-rate ensemble cast at their back. Theater heavyweight Tracy Letts has been having a bit of a big-screen moment these last few years, with standout turns in "The Post," "Lady Bird," and the upcoming "Little Women," and he's put to his best use yet here as the snarling, thin-skinned Ford, calling the shots from his tower only to soil himself (literally) seeing how the real work is actually done at 200mph. His sobbing "I had no idea" while sitting in the passenger seat with Shelby after a race around the track is the comedic highlight of a film surprisingly brimming with them.
Joining him is Jon Bernthal, best known for action-heavy outings like Netflix's "The Punisher," who's given surprising warmth and emotional levity as Lee Iacocca, a Ford marketing executive with a heart. Josh Lucas as his counter—the smarmy, back-stabbing, dollar-sign-is-the-bottom-line Leo Beebe—is hatefully watchable. Plus, it makes his ultimate humiliation at the hands of Miles and Shelby all the more satisfying.
Even Noah Jupe (of "A Quiet Place" and this year's "Honey Boy") as Miles' young son Peter has his time to shine, breaking your heart twice over. And Caitriona Balfe (best known for her breakout role on Starz's "Outlander") imbues Mollie, the wife and mother pining for Miles' safety at home, with grit and headstrong allure. A particular highlight is when she spots her ne'er-do-well husband and Shelby, tempers rising under pressure from Ford, as they begin sparring on the sidewalk outside their home. She just pulls up a chair in her front lawn and watches, an amused audience—not unlike that of "Ford v Ferrari" itself.

Oracle's VP of Cloud, Tyler Jewell, kicked off this year's Cloud Expo with a keynote aimed at filling out the company's vision for its recently announced Oracle Public Cloud. He covered a ton of material, and I won't try to summarize it here, but I will admit to feeling a growing sense of confusion as the keynote progressed. Jewell kept saying the word "cloud", but it was rarely clear to me that what he was talking about was "cloud" by any normal definition of "cloud computing," even taking into account the fact that there's not even a clear, agreed-upon definition the term.
For instance, Jewell made the claim that Oracle has been doing cloud computing for the past 12 years, since launching Oracle On Demand in 1999. My immediate reaction was that lots of people were thinking about SaaS in different forms in 1999—including odd subscription and shrinkwrap combinations—but should we really be calling this stuff "cloud"?
He then described Oracle's enormous, complex cloud offering, some of which is clearly SaaS and some of which is supposedly PaaS. But the thing that wasn't so cloud-like about it was that the payment model for the whole enchilada is subscription-based and tiered. There's no metered billing anywhere in Oracle's cloud.
A tiered subscription model is obviously a great fit for SaaS, but the fact that Oracle puts the PaaS side of their cloud offering in this same boat is not only surprising, but it makes me question the use of the term "cloud" in relation to it. Can anyone think of a public cloud PaaS offering that isn't metered? I can't. Metered subscription is pretty much the one criteria that's common to every definition of PaaS and IaaS that I've ever read, and I've read quite a few.
While the fact that Oracle's PaaS offerings are subscription-based was a surprise, what was even more surprising was Jewell's laughably bogus explanation for Oracle's decision to stay away from metered billing. Jewell's argument was that with metered billing, you have no idea up-front how much you'll use, so you need a few months of usage data before you can budget. This is allegedly an inconvenience. With Oracle, in contrast, you know exactly how much you'll be charged up-front, so you can budget right away. Now, can you spot the problem with this logic?
It's precisely when a customer has no idea up-front how much of a service he'll use that he prefers a metered model to a tiered subscription model, because the latter requires him to estimate his usage in advance while the former does not. It's the classic gym membership problem, where any combination of over-subscription and under-utilization means the service provider comes out on top and the consumer comes out on the bottom.
Pay-as-you-go is a much better deal for users in situations where they can't estimate their usage levels, because they don't risk oversubscribing. Users on a metered plan can also cap their own usage internally so that they don't go over budget. So metered billing stacks the deck in favor of the service user, while subscription stacks it in favor of the service provider.

True Romance Once again, Quentin Tarantino outdoes himself. The movie True Romance was excellent. It presented real issues that some people are forced to deal with in their lives.
