Keren Creations is also about bold, dramatic art – incorporating Keren's deep love of art and materials to be found in other cultures, and her understanding of color theory into the rich medium of oil painting. While exploring the body's free forms and soft curves, Keren's paintings are nevertheless bold, innovative and expressive.
Many of Keren's paintings have been miniaturized and framed in sterling silver and made into exquisite pendants, further demonstrating her keen ability to make "bold" wearable.
Note: Any painting marked "sold" can still be purchased as a Giclée reproduction.
Your Giclée will be signed printed on the canvas, and stretched just like the original oil painting.
Oil on Canvas. Some of the paintings shown are mixed medium, using Japanese Hemp Paper and Mesh, as well as cut recycled fabric. The Giclee of each painting is also available for sale, and can have oil paint touch ups added to simulate the original texture, upon request.
The sizes of Keren's paintings vary from 12" to 6 feet. The giclee of each painting can be custom-sized to fit in your personal or work space, upon order.
Some of the originals of these paintings are still available for sale. The price will vary between an original and a giclee of the painting, and also based on the size of the piece being ordered.

Enslaved and freed African Muslims in the American South represent a diverse religious history that began even before the United States was founded. The challenge of surviving and resisting enslavement was a daunting task for many enslaved Africans in America, including African Muslims. Muslims in the historic record such as Hester Bilali, Bilali Mohammed, and Omar Ibn Said provide examples of how the enslaved African Muslim community sought to preserve their cultural and religious Islamic heritage. They also shaped the religious and spiritual landscape of the American South in ways that scholars have not yet fully explored, particularly in the Lowcountry.
Portrait of Yarrow Mamout (Muhammad Yaro), Charles Wilson Peale, 1819, courtesy of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
In the contemporary context, with the rise of global transnational extremism, many Americans' perceptions of Muslim communities are impacted by the idea that Islam is a "foreign" and distant entity in the American experience. However, the European and American idea that Islam and the East are foreign and therefore something to be feared is not new. These ideas dates back to the eighteenth century when colonizing Westerners' condescending ideas of the East and Islam were fabricated. Starting in the 1600s, European and American scholars, colonizers, travelers, and writers contrasted their own Westernern superiority with the non-Western world undeveloped societies. They used their inventions about Asia and Africa to validate Western colonial domination. In the 1800s, American travelogue writers presented a romantic but trepidatious view of Islam, penning ideas that would become default "facts" about the Islamic world and its peoples. They conceived of the Islamic East as both intriguing and frightening, without awareness that Islam already had a history in their country due to enslaved African Muslims.
While Westerners wrote about the geographically distant Islamic East and Africa, spinning sensational tales of Asian and African peoples, white Americans' used racist language to described enslaved Africans in the United States as "savage" and "uncivilized," false ideas they perpetuated as facts. Muslim Africans presented a challenge to their Western notions because some of the enslaved Muslim African's were literate, highly educated, and from elite backgrounds. White Americans' ignorance about the African continent was a major factor that led to their curiosity about Muslim Africans. Colonial Europeans and then Americans saw qualities such as literacy and religious rectitude as Western values. By incorrectly assuming their own values were not possible in an African person, white Americans showed special interest in Muslims who defied their assumptions about African people.
Masjid al Jami, photograph by Muhammad Fraser-Rahim, North Charleston, South Carolina, 2017.
In 1819, this intrigue led Charles William Peale, a famous American portrait artist to have Yarrow Mamout sit for a portrait. Mamout was a well-known African Muslim who was freed after years of enslavement to a family in Maryland. Mamout's experience of sitting for Peale is telling in that Peale kept Mamout's company longer than he needed to complete one of his portraits. Part of the famous portrait artists' desire to keep the company of the aging African Muslim may have been the developing fascination with Islam and the fact that many white Americans did not know literate Africans. Another aspect of Peale's fascination may have been that Mamout claimed he was 134 years of age, though it's much more likely he was in his early eighties. Peale, long interested in science, had become particularly interested in longevity in his own old age. Mamout's claim to being well over one hundred, however, does not fully explain Peale's interest, as he knew another man in town who was over 100 years of age. As with the reporter who listened to Abdur Rahman's story, Bluett who listened to Suleimon Diallo's story, and Owen who found an Arabic bible for Said, there was a clear an element of curiosity at play in white American's approach to African Muslims in America. In several cases, their curiosity led them to learn more and fear less about the Muslim people who were different in distinct ways but also shared similar values and beliefs to their own.
Absent from the surviving historical records are many of the enslaved and freed Muslims experiences. However, the surviving records do make it abundantly clear that Muslims have been in America since its inception and have participated in a peaceful and pragmatic form of Islam that influenced enslaved peoples' cultures. In both Savannah and Charleston, the oldest Muslim communities themselves are descendants of these enslaved African Muslims who to this day continue to encourage their ancestral legacy of survival, tolerance, and coexistence within American society.

Q: import ringtone into emulator (android studio) I am using Android Studio. I am trying to test ringtones on emulator before working on a real device.
Does anyone know how to import ringtones into an emulator?

A: Have you internet connection on your system. If yes then you can download any music on the emulator by opening the browser in your emulator.
Another way is that you can put any music file in the raw folder of your project and use it as your requirement.

A: you can just drag and drop the files from your pc desktop or any folder into emulator, the files will be saved in downloads folder

We had a wonderful experience with our 40th Anniversary Quilt Challenge. We loved being able to coordinate such a giving effort on the part of all those who participated. If you don't know about our first challenge for our 40th Anniversary, you can scroll down the posts to read about it, see the winners and actually see a video of our "quilt show" from 2018.
We have talked to many of our customers who are eager to do another challenge so we have come up with one to celebrate our 41st Anniversary. One of the favorite quilts from last year was given by Linda Humphrey. It was the quilt with the powerful phrases. We all thought of the fortunate child that received that particular quilt and how much it might mean to them in years to come. We wanted more kids to have the opportunity to own such a meaningful quilt. With Linda's OK to copy her idea, we have printed many of the phrases she used and added more of our own. We might never know the true power of these phrases as a child reads them again and again.
This year all donated quilts will go to CASA of Kerrville. When a child enters the foster care system because their home is no longer safe, a judge may appoint a "Court Appointed Special Advocate", or CASA, volunteer to advocate for the child's best interest.
CASA will take charge of the quilts and distribute them to the children under their supervision as well as enable smaller groups such as K'Star and Women's Job Corp to have quilts for their clients' children. We are so excited to see your quilts distributed throughout our community.
To be eligible for one of the gift certificates we will be giving away, you will need to purchase our challenge kit. It will include a fat quarter of the word fabric which has nine phrases. The kit also includes 2 coordinating one yard pieces of fabric for inspiration, a pattern that could be used – or not- and a quilt label to sew on your completed quilt. Each kit will have the official entry form that will need to be pinned to the back of the quilt when it is returned. The challenge kit will sell for $18.00.
The first official day to pick up your kit will be Monday, August 27th. If you come by that day, we will also have a complimentary fat quarter for you with purchase of your challenge kit.
Finished quilt must be at Creations before the close of business on Monday, March 11th, 2019.
Prizes will be awarded by Viewer's Choice votes. One prize per person. Everyone can vote once each day of the show.
Winners will be notified by phone on Sunday, March 17th.
All quilts become the property of Creations and will be given to CASA in Kerrville for distribution at their discretion.
Provide as many quilts as you wish, but each entry eligible for prizes requires the purchase of a "Power of Word" kit.
Size is your choice, but we suggest no less that 40″ or taller than 80″. With the use of words, we are targeting a bit older child so we think the size should be appropriate. Think of a size such as 40 x 50 or 50 x 70. You choose.
You can use as many of the words in quilt as you like. If you don't want to use them on the front, use them on the back. If you want to use more than the 9 phrases that come with the kit, additional digital print fat quarters are available for $6.50. There are different phrases on different fat quarters.
Each finished quilt turned in before the deadline will receive a discount coupon from Creations for the purchase of up to 3 spools of large Aurifil cotton thread at 40% off retail.
If you would like to participate, but can't come pick up your kit, we will be glad to mail it to you at our expense.
Gift certificates to Creations will be given as follows: First Favorite – $300.00, Second Favorite – $200.00, Third Favorite – $150.00, and Favorites 4-10 will receive a $50.00 gift certificate each. We will also have a $200.00 gift certificate for the individual who donates the most quilts.
The results are in from Creations' 40th Anniversary "Stir What You Got" Quilt Challenge.
The winner of the "Most Quilts Submitted" award goes to Cathy Wallace of San Antonio. Cathy contributed 5 quilts.
The gallery below shows each of the quilts awarded these prizes. To see larger versions of these images, click any image and a larger slideshow will pop up.
Remember – the sale dates are this coming Friday and Saturday – you don't want to miss it!
Check out our last 4 blog posts below for all of the details. There is still time to "reserve" your spot as one of the first people in line. Just visit the "Our Anniversary Event" post below to find out how to do that.

Travel Shows in New York and Los Angeles
Team Johnny Jet, February 10, 2010
Team Johnny Jet is the collective, collaborative mouthpiece of JohnnyJet.com.
By Carly Blatt:
Make your daydreams a reality by exploring a plethora of travel options at the New York Times Travel Show or the Los Angeles Times Travel & Adventure Show this month. Whether you've been imagining yourself watching the World Cup in South Africa, exploring the cultural delights of Europe, getting pampered in the Caribbean, joining a trek through a rainforest or partaking in one of hundreds of other adventures, the shows will provide you with ample opportunities to discover travel options.
This year, the 2010 New York Times Travel Show will be held at the Jacob K. Javitz Center on February 27 and 28, and the 2010 Los Angeles Times Travel & Adventure Show will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 13 and 14. Each show features hundreds of travel exhibitors as well as seminars featuring travel experts, cultural performances, show-only discounts and more.
Before you arrive, check your show's website for the most up-to-date schedule of travel seminars so you can plan your visit accordingly. The seminars provide a fun, first-hand opportunity to learn insider travel information and tips from many of the industry's leading professionals, including our own Johnny Jet.

Presenters and panelists occasionally stay after their seminar to chat with attendees, making this an ideal opportunity to meet your favorite travel experts in person.
Each show features hundreds of exhibitors from nearly every corner of the globe, which can initially seem both exciting and intimidating. Keep in mind that there's no way to stop by each booth at the show – nor would you want to. To make the best use of your time, download a list of exhibitors from the show's website ahead of time or pick up a floor plan at the show. This can be particularly helpful in targeting which booths you want to make it a priority to visit.
When possible, have a conversation with an exhibitor instead of just taking a brochure. Let them know your budget, what time of year you're planning to travel and what you're looking for in a trip. It's a great way to quickly find out whether or not their product is a good fit for you, and it's much less time intensive than looking through their brochure or website. If their product isn't right for you, don't be shy about asking for a recommendation. Many times, their company might have another branch that features trips that are more up your alley or they may have a friend who offers what you're looking for. Also, ask exhibitors if they're running any specials for show attendees and get their business card if you're serious about booking.
For a dash of culture, check out some of the show's top-notch performances. The New York show will feature cultural performances by the Japan National Tourism Organization, the Uruguay Tourism Board, the Turkish Culture and Tourist Office and many others. You can also see exotic animals at "Wild Things: Live!", attend a reading of Alice in Wonderland, and watch culinary demonstrations.
At the Los Angeles show, you can check out Armenian Modern and Folk Dances by the Armenian American Chamber of Commerce. There will also be a performance by Tanzanian dancers presented by Zara Tours on the Global Beat Stage, and many others performances. Feeling adventurous? Try SCUBA diving or an adventure ropes course at the show – all for free. Visit your show's website for a complete list of performances and activities.
WHAT TO BRING TO THE SHOW… AND WHAT NOT TO BRING HOME
Since many exhibitors offer the chance to win free getaways, tickets, hotel stays, and more, consider bringing pre-printed labels with your name, address and email to stick on entry forms so you won't have to manually fill out each one. Keep in mind that entering a contest often equals getting added to a company's mailing list, so you may want to create a separate email address specifically for the show.
If you're planning to attend a seminar, bring a small notebook to jot down tips and suggestions from the speakers. Also, bring a bag if you plan to pick up brochures and other materials.
Try not to go too crazy accumulating brochures, though, since lugging a heavy bag around the show will likely hamper your experience.
It's easy to accept a pamphlet from everyone who hands you one, and it's even easier to toss dozens of booklets in your bag "just in case you want to go there one day". Resist the temptation and instead make it a point to only pick up brochures from companies that you would actually consider using in the next year. For all others, write down the name of the company along with their website, pick up a business card or select the thinnest pamphlet they have.

Q: WCF XML WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare equivalent in .NET Core I am currently in the process of porting a .NET Framework 4.6.2 application to .NET Core 3.1. This application hosts a WCF service that passes XML data between the server and the client. I need to get the same interface/data structures in the .NET Core version, as I am not able to update all clients and the transition needs to be smooth without required changes to the clients.
For the purpose of this question I have stripped down my entire interface to the bare essence of the method that is posing me problems.
The clients send the following XML payload to the method:
<int xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">104</int>

The WCF interface in .NET Framework is defined as follows:
[ServiceContract]
public interface WcfServiceInterface
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Processes an integer value sent in an XML body.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="theInt">The integer to process.</param>
    /// <returns>True if success, false otherwise</returns>
    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "DELETE", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml)]
    bool ProcessInteger(int theInt);
}

In .NET Core 3.1 the class handling the WCF is defined as follows:
[ApiController]
[Produces("application/xml")]
[Route("wcf")]
public class WcfServiceInstance : ControllerBase
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Processes an integer value sent in an XML body.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="theInt">The integer to process.</param>
    /// <returns>True if success, false otherwise</returns>
    [Route(nameof(ProcessInteger))]
    public bool ProcessInteger([FromBody] int theInt)
    {
        // ... do something intelligent with the integer
    }
}

For the .NET Framework 4.6.2 vrsion everything is working fine. However, when a client calls the same method (with the same message payload) on the .NET Core version of the server application, I get the following exception:
System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (1, 66).
 ---> System.InvalidOperationException: <int xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/'> was not expected.

It's Time for Sharon to Go
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has reoccupied the West Bank in response to terrorist attacks from Palestinian radicals, putting the entire population under a grueling curfew. In April, Human Rights Watch accused the Israeli army of extensive violations of international law during its campaigns in Jenin and Ramallah. Sharon is no stranger to such controversies. He was first accused of being a war criminal after his 1982 invasion of Lebanon twenty years ago this summer, during which the Israeli army allowed its far-right Christian allies to massacre Palestinian civilians. Sharon and his iron fist policies have contributed significantly to the Middle East quagmire.
It is hard to remember now, but in 1982 there was no Shiite terrorism in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese Civil War had wound down and the economy was beginning to recover. Despite occasional minor skirmishes, the Palestine Liberation Organization in that country posed no real threat to Israel. It and its leftist and Muslim allies had been badly defeated by Syrian intervention in the 1976 Civil War.
Lebanon was a colonial creation of the French, who designed it with a slight Christian majority. Over time the Muslims had more children, and many Christians emigrated, leading by the 1980s to a Muslim majority and a plurality of dirt-poor Shiites. Lebanese political institutions, however, still gave Christians more power and patronage. Christians and Muslims increasingly disagreed about the Palestinian refugees and their descendants, who had originally fled or been expelled in 1948. They had been organized in the 1970s by the PLO for guerilla strikes at Israel. Rightwing Christians had feared the PLO was becoming a state within a state.
In neighboring Israel, the hawkish Ariel Sharon was appointed minister of defense by Likud Prime Minister Menachem Begin. Sharon developed a plan to march to Beirut, destroy the PLO, which was then based there, and to put the far rightwing Christian Phalangist party firmly into power in Lebanon. Israel could then annex and settle the West Bank and Gaza, occupied since 1967, and could replace a Syrian-dominated, fractured Lebanon with a strong ally.
Sharon launched his invasion on June 6, 1982 without any obvious casus belli, and by the 11th, Israeli forces had reached Beirut. During the succeeding two months, the Israeli army subjected the Lebanese capital to heavy, sometimes indiscriminate bombardment. They deprived the inhabitants of water and electricity. Sharon's aim of destroying the PLO was frustrated when some 15,000 Palestinian fighters and Syrian troops put up a surprising fight. By 21 August, PLO chief Yasser Arafat as well as the Syrian troops had agreed to leave the city. The leader of the Phalangist party-militia, Bashir Gemayel, was elected president on 23 August.
An apparent victory turned bitter for Sharon. The Israeli invasion is conservatively estimated to have killed nearly 18,000 persons, half of them innocent civilians, and to have destroyed a fourth of all the homes in the capital. The Israeli public turned against the war. U.S. President Ronald Reagan, appalled by what he termed a "holocaust" at Beirut, called for Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza. Right-wing strong man Bashir Gemayel was assassinated in September. The Phalangists resented being ordered around by Sharon and Begin, and were alarmed at the apparent Israeli intent to deprive Beirut of sovereignty over southern Lebanon.
The Shiites, who initially had welcomed the Israelis because of their own competition with Palestinian refugees for local resources, were dismayed when the Israelis overstayed their welcome. In response, some formed terrorist organizations. A brief American intervention ended when hundreds of marines were killed by a Shiite suicide bomber. Lebanon fell back into intermittent civil war until 1989. The Israelis were finally pushed out of the south in 2000, in part by the new weapon of suicide bombings pioneered by the Shiite Hizbullah, a party and a tactic that did not exist when Sharon planned his invasion.
Among the mysteries of September 11 is why an engineer from a secular middle class family in Lebanon, Ziad Jarrah, would have hated the United States so much as to hijack United Airlines flight 93. Jarrah was eight years old when he lived through the brutal invasion of his country by America's ally, Ariel Sharon. Despite his promises, Sharon's iron fist and reckless disregard for innocent life have yielded no end to violence. If past experience is any guide he is busily creating further hatred and bitterness that will haunt the future of the Mideast and the United States. Yasser Arafat is not the only old warhorse in the region who should resign from office so that a settlement can be reached.

Home Summary Intro Appointments Unprecedented Recommendations
Intro · Climate Change · Air Quality · Reproductive Health · Airborne Bacteria
Iraq's Aluminum Tubes · Endangered Species · Forest Management · Peer Review
Mercury contamination is widespread globally, originating from natural and human-related sources, including air transport from coal combustion, waste incineration, and mining.
Mercury Emissions from Power Plants
The Bush administration has long attemped to avoid issuing new standards to regulate mercury emissions by coal-fired power plants based on Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT), as required by the Clean Air Act.29 Mercury is a neurotoxin that can cause brain damage and harm reproduction in women and wildlife; coal-fired power plants are the nation's largest source of mercury air emissions, emitting about 48 tons annually.30
As a prelude to the current debate, published accounts to date have documented that senior Bush officials suppressed and sought to manipulate government information about mercury contained in an EPA report on children's health and the environment. As the EPA readied the report for completion in May 2002, the White House Office of Management and Budget and the OSTP began a lengthy review of the document. In February 2003, after nine months of delay by the White House, a frustrated EPA official leaked the draft report to the Wall Street Journal, including its finding that 8 percent of women between the ages of 16 and 49 have mercury levels in the blood that could lead to reduced IQ and motor skills in their offspring.31
The finding provides strong evidence in direct contradiction to the administration's desired policy of reducing regulation on coal-fired power plants and was, many sources suspect, the reason for the lengthy suppression by the White House. On February 24, 2003, just days after the leak, the EPA's report was finally released to the public.32 Perhaps most troubling about this incident is that the report may never have surfaced at all had it not been leaked to the press.
In a more recent development, the new rules the EPA has finally proposed for regulating power plants' mercury emissions were discovered to have no fewer than 12 paragraphs lifted, sometimes verbatim, from a legal document prepared by industry lawyers.33 Chagrined EPA officials contend that the language crept into their proposed rules "through the interagency process." But Robert Perciasepe, who headed the EPA air policy office during the Clinton administration, stated the obvious when he called the wholesale use of industry language "inappropriate." As Perciasepe told a Washington Post reporter: "The regulations are supposed to be drafted by the staff—the people in the science program and regulatory branches."34
Addressing Multiple Air Pollutants
As an alternative to the president's Clear Skies Act, Senators Thomas Carper (D-DE), Judd Gregg (R-NH), and Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) have proposed a measure that would control carbon dioxide in addition to sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury. The EPA has evaluated this proposal but has withheld most of the results from the senators. However, a copy of a briefing based on the study was leaked to the Washington Post.35 According to the briefing, the EPA concluded that the Senate proposal would cut the three pollutants earlier and in larger quantity than the Clear Skies Act, result in 17,800 fewer expected deaths by 2020, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions at "negligible" cost to industry.
The suppression of research on air pollution is of serious concern because of its enormous impact on public health. The Clean Air Act, which passed during the Nixon administration and was strengthened in 1990 during the first Bush administration, has saved American lives. For the period up to 1990, the EPA found that, without the act, "an additional 205,000 Americans would have died prematurely and millions more would have suffered illnesses ranging from mild respiratory symptoms to heart disease, chronic bronchitis, asthma attacks, and other severe respiratory problems. In addition, the lack of the Clean Air Act controls on the use of leaded gasoline would have resulted in major increases in child IQ loss and adult hypertension, heart disease and stroke."36 In its 1999 study, the EPA projected that in 2010 alone, the 1990 strengthening amendments "will prevent 23,000 premature deaths, and avert over 1.7 million incidents of asthma attacks...67,000 incidents of chronic and acute bronchitis...4.1 million lost work days."
According to the New York Times, EPA staff members recounted that they discussed the EPA's unreleased report indicating the advantages of the Carper-Gregg-Chafee proposal at a May meeting with Jeffrey Holmstead, assistant administrator for air programs. As these EPA staffers contend, Holmstead wondered out loud "How can we justify Clear Skies if this gets out?" although he has since stated that he did not "recall making any specific remarks."37

Golden Globes: Saoirse Ronan, Daniel Day-Lewis, Martin McDonagh and Caitriona Balfe up for awards
'The Breadwinner', by Kilkenny's Cartoon Saloon, nominated for best animated feature

Saoirse Ronan continues a seemingly inevitable run to a third Oscar nod with a nomination for best actress (comedy or musical) at the upcoming Golden Globes.
Nora Twomey's The Breadwinner, produced by Kilkenny's Cartoon Saloon, received a nomination for best animated feature.
Daniel Day-Lewis, Wicklow resident and sometime Irish passport holder, gets a place in the best actor (drama) race for Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread.
In the television section, Catriona Balfe, the Irish actor and model, confirmed herself as a Globes regular with a third nomination for best actress in a series for Outlander.
Ronan's nomination came for playing a rebellious teenager in Greta Gerwig's hugely praised directorial debut Lady Bird. She will be seen as a slight favourite to win in that category. Margot Robbie, incandescent as the figure skater Tonya Harding in I,Tonya, will, however, give her a run for her money.
Co-produced by Angelina Jolie, The Breadwinner concerns a young girl in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan who must dress as a boy to support her family. The picture recently triumphed at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, but it will struggle to get past Pixar's more high-profile Coco.
Guillermo Del Toro's The Shape of Water, an eerie fantasy concerning the romance between a mute woman and a sea creature, topped the film nominations with seven mentions.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, the third feature from London-Irish writer-director Martin McDonagh, was just behind with six nominations. McDonagh himself gets in for writing and directing.
Steven Spielberg's The Post, an examination of the Washington Post's attempts to publish the Pentagon Papers, also scored an impressive six nods. Big Little Lies, the gripping, glamorous Californian hyper-soap, topped the TV charts with six nominations.
As ever, pundits were discussing "snubs" before the announcement at dawn in Los Angeles has properly finished. Most conspicuously, Kumail Nanjiani's The Big Sick, seen as a contender in all comedy categories, received not a single nomination. Holly Hunter, who plays an eccentric mom in the film, is (or was) seen as one of those most likely to register in the Oscar race for best supporting actress.
Jordan Peele's Get Out, a satirical horror concerning the racial divide, scored in the comedy/musical categories for best picture and best actor, but there were no mentions for writing and directing. Two years after the #oscarssowhite debacle that may raise one or two heckles. There will be even greater unease at the news that no woman has registers in the best director race. Greta Gerwig was surely just outside the final five.
The Golden Globes are organised by the relatively small huddle of often-obscure journalists aligned with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Their reliability as a pointer to Oscar success is sometimes exaggerated, but an acknowledgment certainly demonstrates that you are in the race.
Ronan will have a tougher fight on her hands at the Oscars as, unlike the Globes, they do not split top awards into drama and comedy/musical categories. Her main competition for the Academy Award looks to be Robbie for I, Tonya, Sally Hawkins for The Shape of Water and Frances McDormand for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri.
Meryl Streep will probably take the fifth Oscar nomination for her role as proprietor Katherine Graham in the hugely enjoyable The Post, but that performance has "sure nomination, no win" written all over it.
The Cartoon Saloon story remains an extraordinary one. Both that studio's The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea received Oscar nominations for best animated feature. The Breadwinner looked to be in trouble when the Academy changed its rules so that all members rather than just animation specialists (more tuned in to independent features) could vote for the nominations.
The film has, however, performed strongly so far in awards season and the Saloon can expect good news when Oscar announces its shortlist next month.
The 75th Golden Globes ceremony takes place on January 7th.

By Natty Soltesz
A snowy Tuesday night, any waiter will tell you, is a total wash out. But there I was, the de-facto head of an all-male crew, handling not only the shit-talking and gay-joking that seems to reach critical mass when no waitresses are present, but also an unrepentant whining from the back of the house.
"Can we fucking leave yet?" said Doug the dishwasher for the hundredth time, and I, in turn, told him I wasn't authorized to make that decision.
What I could do, however, was give everyone free reign at the bar.
"Nate probably wants to get us drunk so's he can take advantage of us, ain't that right Nate?"
"That's right, Tony," I said. Tony is the head cook; he and Doug were all that was left of our kitchen crew, while Mark and I were the last servers standing.
"Don't joke around, I know you want some of this." Tony lifted his white chef's jacket and pulled down his checkered pants. He was wearing gray bikini briefs, and he gave his ass a slap, smiling at me. Tony's a big dude, but he's got a nice ass and he knows it.
"Yeah, let's show him," said Doug the dishwasher, who was always nipping at Tony's heels. He dropped his pants and wagged his boxer-clad ass in my direction, laughing with a dumb look on his tow-headed face. I just slapped on a smile and let myself chub up, figuring if I was going to get a show, I might as well enjoy it.
Mark was being a trooper, and we shored up the side work together. The thing with Mark was complicated. His girlfriend waited tables at Cabiria's, too, but Mark and I had a connection. Partly it was our shared interest in music, as Mark was a scruffy sexy hippie boy and I was partial to jam bands myself. If there was something more, I blamed it on my over-active sexual imagination. I'm always falling for straight guys, it's just my lot in life.
By eight p.m., all four of us were belly-up to the bar, and I realized I was too buzzed to do my job if by some miracle a customer should show up.
Tony continued to razz me like it was going out of style.
"Tell the truth, if you could fuck me, you would, wouldn't you?"
"I wouldn't fuck you, Tony, I'd 'make love' to you," I joked.
Doug the dimwit snarfed and shot beer out of his nose.
"Seriously, Nate. What would you do – if you were with a guy like me. What would you like to do?"
"I don't know – same thing you like to do with a girl – fuck, kiss, eat pussy."
"You mean eat ass," Tony said.
"Nate licks bunghole," said Doug the dickhead.
"Shut the fuck up Doug," Tony said. He turned back to me. "I always wanted to get my ass ate. I've always wanted to know how that feels. Can't ever get a girl to do that, though."
"Not even your wife?" Mark quipped, and that got a laugh. Tony's wife was a notorious bitch.
"But you like doin that, though," Tony continued, undeterred. "Just like guys get off on eating pussy, you get off on eatin ass, right?"
I shifted on the barstool. "Well…yeah. I like it a lot actually." Tony had this sincere look on his face. Despite his crude nature, I had a lot of respect for the big lug. After I'd met his wife, I actually started to feel pretty bad for the guy.
"If I asked you to do that for me, would you?" he said. Everyone got silent. I could've made a joke and instantly defused the situation, but something (the swelling in my pants?) told me not to.
"Yeah, I would." Tony reached over and clapped me on the shoulder.
"Alright then. Let's lock up."
When I got back to the bar, Tony had laid out shots for all four of us.
"Dutch courage," he said, and we downed them.
"You ain't serious about this, are ya Tone?"
"Shut the fuck up Doug. You don't know the first thing about gettin a girl off, so maybe Nate can teach you something here." And with that, he slipped off his pants and undies. He already had a chubby.
I'd avoided looking at Mark this whole time, but at last he spoke up.
"Nate, does that offer just apply to Tony, or does it stand for all of us?" He looked at me strangely – his eyes were kind of distant, like he was appraising me in a new way.
"All of you, I guess. Why not?" A sly smile crept across Mark's face.
Tony whispered something in Doug's ear. He undid Doug's pants and let them fall to the floor. Though Doug still had a look of slack-jawed astonishment on his face, he seemed willing to go along with whatever Tony wanted. His pale peach cock – heftier than I'd imagined – hung out the fly of his boxers, half-hard.
In sort of daze I watched the three of them undress, trying not to pay too much attention to Mark's naturally muscled body. The three of them got up on one of the big tables, all in a row on their hands and knees – an all-u-can-eat ass buffet.
Tony had his arm slung around Doug's shoulders, murmuring in his ear, telling him to relax, to go with it.
I started by parting Doug's downy blond hair-covered butt cheeks, revealing his pink hole. I licked around his crack, loving the effect it was having on him – he was so young and sensitive, everything caused a jerk and a reaction. I started rimming his butthole, tasting the slick skin before diving the tip of my tongue right in. Doug whimpered and squealed. Taking both halves of his butt in my hands, I made a feast of his ass, straining to get my tongue in him as deeply as possible.
Tony kept rubbing Doug's back. "Feels good, huh buddy? Don't it?" he said.
"Uh-huh," Doug managed to say.
"Get into it. You're hard. Stroke your dick while he's doin it."
From the way Doug's butthole was clutching my tongue it was clear that he was on the brink. I backed off and moved toward Tony's massive butt. Tony got ready for me with a smile on his face, resting his head on the table and spreading his ass out before me.
"Go for it Nate." The cheeks of his big, hairy butt were like two desktop globes in my hands. Already spread wide, his deep crack funneled down to a hot, pulsing hole. I buried my face in that ass. Tony's deep and masculine groans filled the empty restaurant. He took my tongue like a man – being more experienced than Doug, he got into it more, backing his ass up into my face, pushing his butthole on to my tongue. His hole was relaxed enough that I could get my tongue in really deeply.
Tony never cheated on his wife, at least not that I knew of, so I figured he had to be relishing this sexual release. He brought his big paw around and pulled the back of my head into his butt, working his ass against my face. I slipped my pants down and beat myself off as I worked him over.
I heard a moan from Doug, and saw that Tony was casually slipping his fat finger into Doug's well-lubed asshole. Doug seemed transported, his face held up to the ceiling with his eyes closed, his whole body rocking as Tony finger-fucked him.
Mark was sitting up on his knees, watching the scene. With one hand he was cupping his balls, and with the other he was stroking huge, hairy cock. It was more beautiful than I'd imagined. Mark, still with that sexy smirk, beckoned me over with a jerk of his head.
I pulled helplessly away from Tony's big ass. Mark got down, pushing out his little hippie butt. It was smaller than Doug or Tony's but muscled and toned – the nicest butt in the bunch. The cheeks parted to reveal a nice crack lined with straight black hair, ringing a slick pink crevasse.
His ass smelled like patchouli soap with deeper, muskier undertones, like the incense Mark would burn sometimes when I was hanging out with him and his girlfriend. I tentatively stuck out my tongue and touched it to that most intimate part of him. Mark moaned quietly. He started to move his hips, bucking his ass against my lips in smooth, insistent motions. It was languid and intense.
I took hold of Mark's hard horse cock, which was surprisingly uncut. I ate my way down to his balls, sucking on those for a while. Then I got under him, on the table, so his cock head was lined up with my lips. There was no way I was going to let him get away without giving me some of that awesome cock. In a smooth motion, he pushed it between my lips, and I opened to let it slide down my tongue and into my throat. I took it all the way in, my lips stretching wide to accommodate the thick root.
Mark's tight body hovered over me, his slim hips working his cock in and out of my mouth. His tight stomach curled up into his body as he humped my face. He looked down at me and smiled.
At some point, I glanced over to see Tony sitting on the edge of the table, with Doug's head bobbing in his lap. Tony gave me a conspiratorial, sideways smile; then went back to guiding Doug's head up and down his fat dick.
I let my tongue travel up Mark's six pack as slid off of the table. He grabbed my arms and pulled me up into him, and out of nowhere we were making out –his bearded face pressing against mine as our tongues colluded in each other's mouths.
He put me back on the table and threw my legs back, exposing my shaved ass. Now, I know I've got a cute butt, but I was not prepared to have Mark bury his face into it just like that. He worked his tongue into my hole mercilessly.
Tony had gotten up and now returned with some olive oil. Doug was lying supine over the table, his legs draped over the edge and his feet resting on the floor, his ass pertly propped up. Tony spread Doug's cheeks and poured the oil down his crack, then used it to lube up his cock.
He handed the oil to Mark, who got some on his finger and slid it inside of me. This was nothing like the friend I had known and gotten high with for the eight months I'd worked at Cabiria's. Mark was being so aggressive, taking such control, that it made me wonder if this was something he'd thought about doing for a while.
He laid on top of me and kissed me as he worked another digit into my hungry hole.
"It's okay," he whispered.
My ass – his oiled cock – we were both ready. He let it rest against the gate for a second before bearing down. At first I didn't think I could take it. But he went slowly, steadily, never backing off. He obviously knew how to fuck, and as the pain passed I took hold of his ass and pushed him into me as far as it could go.
Mark started pumping me, shaking the table as he worked his big cock into my butt.
At the same time, Tony slipped his thick cut of Italian salami into Doug's rump. Tony stood there like a rock, thrusting his cock slightly but making Doug do most of the work. Doug had his hands braced against the edge of the table. His hard dick curved upward from his stomach like a turkey neck. He had a look of pained perplexity on his face as he rode Tony, like, how did this cock get up my ass and why does it feel so good?
You could have colored us both surprised. It occurred to me that Mark and I were "making love" as much as we were fucking. He sucked at my neck, he licked and bit at my nipples. I ran my hands all over that beautiful boy body and we kissed as much as we wanted. The grunts and moans of four horny men filled the dining room. There was a unison achieved as we edged ever closer to our respective orgasms.
Mark looked down at me with his blue eyes.
"I think I'm gonna cum," he said.
"Me too." His mouth found mine, and we kissed. He whimpered as I felt his hot load spurting inside of me. I let myself go at the same time, and jets of warm, thick load roped out of my cock, coating my chest and making our bodies slippery as they worked against one another. We came down slowly, our bodies sticking together, our tongues still dueling in each other's mouths.
We watched Tony, with a mighty thrust, bottom out in Doug's ass. From his huge moans that rocked the glass in the windows, it was obvious that the big guy was breeding Doug the dishwasher's virgin butt with his seed. Tony's spasming dick must have tripped a switch in Doug's ass – his hard-as-a-nail cock started spurting hands-free, jerking into the air and sending sharp streams of jizz across the floor that I'd just mopped.
Tony slapped Doug's ass, then pressed his big body against him, calling him baby as their orgasms subsided. I knew that reality had sidestepped us, somehow. How was this going to end?
Well, Doug never came back to work. At the Christmas party a few weeks later, Tony drunkenly admitted to me that he was probably bisexual.
Mark, on the other hand, told me he'd had fantasies of fucking me since we'd first met, but hadn't had the balls to do anything about it. We ended up moving in together, and he dumped his girlfriend a few weeks later. It's a nice arrangement. He gets to fuck whenever he feels like it, and I get all the ass I can eat. Who says you can't have it all?


Ja ja, Hayek, den gamle österrikaren. Mannen som på fullt allvar sätter sitt hopp til Homo Economicus och att marknaden kan reglera sig själv. Själv uppfattade jag hela ämnet nationalekonomi som en enda lång hyllning till den klassiska, libertarianska ekonomiska teorin. Jag saknade helt andra perspektiv från ett helt annat håll. Men så kan det ju vara.
I love how the very best parts of childhood are getting fancy-fied with cultural hybridization (Beijing, NY, Charleston grilled cheese treatments). Whether it's hot dogs getting a gourmet grooming or French Toast gaining more personality by getting stuffed with cheesecake, preserves and jam, we're living in a good eating time. Cheesewerks is just down the street from the spa I work at. Will make a pilgrimage with co-workers in tow. Snappy review!
It's so nice to meet the magicians behind the scenes! Thanks for the wonderful job you do. I think CardMaker excels with their beautiful quality pages. Thanks to Nick and Brad for a job well done!
Ricordiamoci qual'è il senso della nostra bandiera. Il tricolore italiano era nato sul filo della rivoluzione francese. E' un simbolo della rivoluzione, il bianco per l'uguaglianza e il rosso per la fraternità …e il verde? Da wikipedia prendo la risposta così com'è scritta in quella pagina:"Il verde era il colore della speranza, della fiducia in un'Italia migliore"Mai come in questo momento, la nostra bandiera ci rappresenta appieno. La speranza è la nostra forza.

I disagree that mat and practical application are the same. There is fine line of sensitivity where a struggling attacker will injure themselves, so you may have to constantly adjust so they don't either hurt themselves, as they struggle, or free themselves as you adjust to avoid causing them injury.
Far too often I let people manipulate me in practice that cause my previous injuries to become re-injured because … they have become "robot programmed" to do aikido, they don't allow for the different bodies of different people and they don't feel the tension of the joints in whatever size or shape person they are working with.
During practice you will have to figure out how flexible your partner is and adjust. Some partners feint and tap out way too early, so you will have to make a mental not that they are sensitive to pain, even if they body can be twisted a little further and the involuntary responses will take over at a higher level of pain instead of the lower thresh-holds they are responding to. Other partners let you manipulate them to the involuntary thresh-holds of pain and response which is where you begin to cross the line into injury if you go much further in you manipulations.
In a practical application, you will ratchet up your manipulation of your attacker to increase the pain thresh-hold but need to keep a calm clear mind that does NOT feed off the adrenelin rush.
The other thing I liked in this article is noting that we don't spend enough time training for kicks, but a kick is no different than any other attack. Stop thinking it will hurt you and imagine a kick is either a bokken or stick coming your way, which we do train with, don't we? Well, most of us do. Adapt and adjust …. it will work out.

Q: Elasticsearch dynamic mapping for object within attribute Wondering if I can create a "dynamic mapping" within an elasticsearch index. The problem I am trying to solve is the following: I have a schema that has an attribute that contains an object that can differ greatly between records. I would like to mirror this data within elasticsearch if possible but believe that automatic mapping may get in the way.
Imagine a scenario where I have a schema like the following:
{
    name: string
    origin: string
    payload: object // can be of any type / schema
}

Is it possible to create a mapping that supports this? I do not need to query the records by this payload attribute, but it would be great if I can.
Note that I have checked the documentation but am confused on if what elastic calls dynamic mapping is what I am looking for.

A: It's certainly possible to specify which queryable fields you expect the payload to contain and what those fields' mappings should be.
Let's say each doc will include the fields payload.livemode and payload.created_at. If these are the only two fields you'll want to perform queries on, and you'd like to disable dynamic, index-time mappings autogenerated by Elasticsearch for the rest of the fields, you can use dynamic templates like so:
PUT my-payload-index
{
  "mappings": {
    "dynamic_templates": [
      {
        "variable_payload": {
          "path_match": "payload",
          "mapping": {
            "type": "object",
            "dynamic": false,
            "properties": {
              "created_at": {
                "type": "date",
                "format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
              },
              "livemode": {
                "type": "boolean"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    ],
    "properties": {
      "name": {
        "type": "text",
        "fields": {
          "keyword": {
            "type": "keyword"
          }
        }
      },
      "origin": {
        "type": "text",
        "fields": {
          "keyword": {
            "type": "keyword"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Then, as you ingest your docs:
POST my-payload-index/_doc
{
  "name": "abc",
  "origin": "web.dev",
  "payload": {
    "created_at": "2021-04-05 08:00:00",
    "livemode": false,
    "abc":"def"
  }
}

POST my-payload-index/_doc
{
  "name": "abc",
  "origin": "web.dev",
  "payload": {
    "created_at": "2021-04-05 08:00:00",
    "livemode": true,
    "modified_at": "2021-04-05 09:00:00"
  }
}

and verify with
GET my-payload-index/_mapping

no new mappings will be generated for the fields payload.abc nor payload.modified_at.
Not only that — the new fields will also be ignored, as per the documentation:

These fields will not be indexed or searchable, but will still appear in the _source field of returned hits.

Side note: if fields are neither stored nor searchable, they're effectively the opposite of enabled.

The Big Picture
Working with variable contents of a single, top-level object is quite standard. Take for instance the stripe event object — each event has an id, an api_version and a few other shared params. Then there's the data object that's analogous to your payload field.
Now, all is fine, until you need to aggregate on the contents of your payload. See, since the content is variable, so are the data paths / accessors. But wildcards in aggregation paths don't work in Elasticsearch. Scripts do but are onerous to maintain.
Back to stripe. They partially solved it through what they call polymorphic, typed hashes — as discussed in their blog on API design:

A pretty neat approach that's worth emulating.

P.S. I discuss dynamic templates in more detail in the chapter "Mapping Automation" of my ES Handbook.
