Reading: The Feminine Mistake
by David Futrelle February 13, 1992 August 20, 2021
I realized that Gloria Steinem's new book, Revolution From Within, was not merely bad but irredeemably bad when she let slip, about two-thirds of the way through, that she was in the habit of conversing with the liver spots on her hands. I had gotten used to this kind of loopiness, all too typical of the book, and had to read the passage twice before realizing that she had said what I thought she had: "I look at my hands of which I am so proud, and seeing their backs sprinkled with small brown age spots is shocking at first. So I ask them what they have to say for themselves. 'A banner held in liver-spotted hands,' they reply. I get the title for a future article, plus my first inkling that liver spots have a sense of humor."
Unfortunately, Steinem's problems transcend her new-age literary eccentricity; her feminism, liver spots and all, has lost its way. Revolution From Within is a sprawling and surprisingly ambitious work, part autobiography, part self-help manual, part feminist manifesto. Its ambitions, however, are far from realized: Steinem is unable to adequately address any of her main themes, and her indiscriminate combination of many themes merely adds to the confusion. In its most basic sense, as Steinem herself explains, the book is an attempt to reverse one of the fundamental insights of feminism: the idea that the personal is political. Moving her attention away from "the external barriers to women's equality," Steinem focuses on the internal barriers, the doubts and fears that keep many women from standing up for themselves. Too many women (and many men), she argues, lack self-esteem; her book is an attempt to trace the sources of this problem and offer helpful hints. But in her analysis she seems to have forgotten most of the central lessons of contemporary feminism.
When the feminists of the 1960s argued that personal concerns were a legitimate focus for political analysis and action, they meant to uncover the social roots of private oppressions. Women activists who found themselves battered by their husbands or hesitant to speak out at male-dominated meetings began to realize that these were not simply individual concerns. They extended their critique to society as a whole, attempting to link the forms of oppression into a coherent whole. Different feminists defined the issues differently and proposed radically divergent solutions, but all started with the same premise: personal problems had to be addressed socially.
For the most part, self-help books are based on the opposite premise: problems, whatever their roots, have to be addressed personally. As Steinem herself observes, "a lot of self-help books put even more of a burden on the individual." Ignoring the pathologies of society at large or simply taking them as givens, many self-help books offer a vision of psychic perfection in an imperfect world; one such book (quoted disapprovingly by Steinem) promises to "bind up mental and physical wounds, proclaim liberty to the fear-ridden mind, and liberate you completely from the limitations of poverty, failure, misery, lack, and frustration." Not likely. Self-help books offer Horatio Alger stories for the psychological age–promising hapless, dysfunctional nobodies that with a little effort and some psychic ambition they too can be fulfilled.
Though Steinem recognizes the dangers of this approach, she slips all too easily into it as she progresses. Her book is filled with glowing if formulaic accounts of the psychic successes of those who have grasped the magic of self-esteem. She describes how a white middle-class teacher organized a chess club among his students in Spanish Harlem; predictably enough, the students' lives were transformed, and they suddenly had "career plans that included law, accounting, teaching, computer sciences–futures that they wouldn't have thought possible before–there was no telling what continuing surprises they might share at reunions of this team that had become its own support group and family." She recounts the tale of a former prostitute who was inspired to study law by reading Ms. magazine in prison. "To make an extraordinary story short," Steinem gushes, "she passed a high-school equivalency exam, entered college at night, and gradually moved from filing, to secretarial, and then to paralegal work"–then law school and lawyering. She tells the story of Mark the Match Boy, a ragged street urchin who, with determined effort and a savings account . . . I'm kidding–that's from Horatio Alger himself. But you get the idea.
For her stories Steinem draws on a vast and sometimes unlikely cast of characters, ranging from participants in a confidence clinic in Oregon to famous world leaders such as Gandhi and Winston Churchill. In his early years, Steinem tells us with mild horror, the great Gandhi was so filled with self-doubt that he borrowed many of his ideas from mere Westerners, including Tolstoy and Thoreau. "It was as if he needed their theories," Steinem laments, "to support his own values." Churchill, we learn, gained the confidence necessary to lead his country through World War II from his forays into literature and landscape painting. Take note, aspiring world leaders. (Of course Hitler was a painter, and Pat Buchanan is a writer. Never mind.) At one point she's even driven to quote Vince Lombardi: "Confidence is contagious, so is lack of confidence." Win one for the Gipper!
This approach, of course, completely obscures the broader sources of personal problems and places all responsibility upon the individual. Steinem, who really should know better, slips easily into rhetoric that blames the victim, making casual reference to "self-destructive behavior" as the root cause of poverty and crime. At one point in the book this logic transforms itself into something even more insidious: a form of self-hatred wrapped in the language of self-improvement. Describing how she originally tried to ignore the fact that she was growing older, continuing to eat poorly, and avoiding exercise, she explains that she feels guilty for having stayed healthy anyway, and welcomes her eventual punishment in the form of cancer. "Thanks to good genes I got away with all this defiance for quite awhile," she writes, "which may be exactly why I needed the word cancer to come into my life." Luckily her doctors were less moralistic, and they were able to remove the cancerous lump without complications.
The confusions in Revolution From Within go well beyond the central contradiction between feminist personal politics and Steinem's brand of self-help. She never clearly defines self-esteem, and it becomes a catchall for everything from individual self-doubt to vague all-encompassing notions such as national will. Even when she stays close to the personal, her concept of self-esteem is muddled. She confuses cause and effect: low self-esteem itself is not a problem–it's a symptom of other problems. The feelings of worthlessness that generally accompany clinical depression, for example, are fundamentally different from the sense of personal and intellectual failure suffered by children in inner-city schools who are given inadequate and often patronizing attention by underpaid teachers. Clinical depression would best be remedied by therapy and possibly medication (and more funding for mental-health programs), the children's problems by an improved educational system. By lumping such different problems together, Steinem hopelessly jumbles the picture and makes a real understanding of possible remedies impossible. And by ignoring the complex clinical literature on mental illnesses such as depression in favor of a scattershot anecdotal account, she compounds the already considerable public ignorance of the issue.
The advice Steinem offers barely rises above the level of the most vapid self-help manuals, and her specific suggestions come in the form of cliches. She urges her readers to follow their hearts, to trust their feelings, to trust their inner voice. She lets us know that "you can't beat something with nothing" and that "we can't love each other until we love ourselves." From time to time she seems a little apologetic about offering up such conventional wisdom, but, she happily announces, "truisms are . . . true" and besides "everything sounds trite before we're ready for it."
The book's forays into international politics are no less troubling–Steinem reduces history to the banalities of pop psychology. "I've learned . . . that self-esteem plays as much a part in the destiny of nations as it does in the lives of individuals," she writes. "Self esteem is the basis of any real democracy." In her view, for example, the popular resistance to the attempted Soviet coup last August was a simple example of the power of positive political thinking. "When teachers believe their students are gifted, they become more gifted," she writes, easing her way from the blackboard to the barricades. "Yeltsin and other popular leaders expected people to take control of their own fate, and people did just that–an example of a leader's ability to free the powers of self-esteem." Of course, events since then have led many observers (and many Russians) to conclude that Yeltsin is as authoritarian and economically inept as any other former party hack. Steinem must be baffled by this shift–but perhaps she'll conclude those grumbling Russians don't deserve democracy if they let the lack of food stand in the way of the psychic regeneration of their country.
Beyond this kind of historical naivete, Steinem offers vague suggestions to promote better worldwide living through self-esteem. Most of them sound like little more than politically correct versions of Robert Fulghum's kindergarten wisdom–the world was on fire when I lay down on it. "Religions could stop telling us we are innately sinful," Steinem proposes. "The military could ask us to live for a cause, not die for it. . . . Children could feel loved and valued from the beginning." When she moves from practical suggestions into the more abstract realm of political theory, the discussion gets a little headier. "From Eastern Europe to South Africa, democratic uprisings are softening and humanizing hierarchies into more circularity," she concludes. (Huh?) She goes on to elaborate a faintly mystical, very faintly feminist new-age environmentalism, which she seems to think is somehow related to the idea of self-esteem. She suggests learning from the animals: "Only humans create inequality by simply believing in it." (Tap your toes three times and repeat, "There is no inequality, there is no inequality . . . ") She urges us to consider how similar our bodies are to the earth: "Just as the planet is three-fourths ocean, our bodies are three-fourths water. When we shed tears or drops of perspiration, they are salty too." I feel much better about myself already.
Steinem is no more successful at telling her own story than at explaining social theory. For years she scoffed at too much introspection–she joked that "the examined life is not worth living." This book represents her first attempt to probe deeply into her own psyche, but her self-discovery becomes a kind of hobby, like stamp collecting, or a simple chore. She waxes eloquent (or as close to eloquent as she can get) about the bountiful psychic joys of "solving a problem, making a bookcase, inventing a dance step . . . writing a poem," all of which are made possible "by reaching within for a vision and then making it real." Introspection is such a new thing for her that she holds up every realization, no matter how small or banal, as a startling discovery. One suspects she censored many of the more interesting aspects of her interior life–she can't be this dull.
Still, her accounts of an often difficult life are not without poignancy. But these moments of poignancy arrive almost in spite of Steinem's prose, which is so wooden that it can barely convey what she's willing to reveal of her interior life. Even the exteriors of things present a problem. She describes a book as "laserlike," though it probably doesn't emit thin beams of light, figurative or otherwise. She describes a friend and former lover as looking "like a large friendly tree . . . with an occasional response when the wind of our talk rustled in his branches." (Would they have linked up if he'd looked like a medium-size unfriendly tree?)
Struggling through Steinem's clumsy psychobabble, I couldn't help but be reminded of another attempt to offer America a painless psychic salvation through individual self-redemption–Charles Reich's The Greening of America, an enormously and embarrassingly popular best-seller of the early 1970s that has fortunately been forgotten. Reich breathlessly announced the coming of a new and higher consciousness–he called it Consciousness III–signaled by outward manifestations of higher psychic life such as bell-bottoms and the expression "Oh, wow." (I'm not making this up.) Like Steinem, he suggested that social change begins with the individual–in effect, if enough people began to wear bell-bottoms, the revolution would be won. Reich was taken seriously at the time because his book did deal with serious issues (though poorly), and because his ideas connected up with the various social and psychological innovations of the 60s counterculture. But his was a bland and safe vision of liberation–a revolution through narcissism, a vision of social change without structural change. It was, in short, the blueprint for our two "me" decades–the self-actualizing 70s and the self-aggrandizing 80s.
Like Reich's book, Revolution From Within is steeped in the culture of its time. But instead of the counterculture Steinem has absorbed the dubious psychological wisdom of Donahue and Oprah, and her book refuses to challenge the institutions that create injustice in the world. I only hope that it doesn't serve as a model for the future. We are, after all, living in the aftermath of the nation's greatest self-esteem binge in years, the gulf war, which makes me even more troubled by Steinem's unthinking calls for "national self-esteem" and "national will." For most Americans the gulf war was not a personal trial, a glorious crusade, or even a bloodthirsty outburst–few even considered the consequences. But it was great therapy, a chance to show America's war-making skills to the world, a chance for America to "heal" the "psychic wounds" of Vietnam, as Dick Cheney suggested at the time. If the goal was promoting American self-esteem, it was much more effective than Steinem's suggestions–building bookshelves with the help of our inner children–though rather more destructive to Iraqi civilians. Now, of course, the real world has again intruded upon our psychological fantasies, and the mood of the nation is angry and irritable. This time, let's forego the therapy. These days, war is the continuation of group therapy by other means.

Tag: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018)
On May 26, 2019 By ghostof82In Amazon Prime/VOD, Movies1 Comment
I was rather surprised how successful this was, and how much I enjoyed it. Something of a sequel and reboot for the franchise, following the original three films starring Noomi Rapace and the Western remake of the first of that trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by David Fincher that starred Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander. Phew, that's seems a little complicated looking back on it- and rather symptomatic of the state of the film industry these days. Its enough to make this latest film seem rather cynical.
Which does hang over the whole enterprise. Based on a book by David Lagercrantz, in turn based on characters in the original book series by the late Stieg Larsson, the whole thing is an attempt to extend the original book series and films beyond it- a little like James Bond books and films running far beyond the passing of Bond creator Ian Fleming. Characters can so easily gain an immortality of their own far beyond that of original creators, and while it may have noble intentions there is always a sniff of opportunism and money-making in things like this. Its also rather true that in this film, and possibly the original book, there seems a concious intention to shift away from the dark character-based intensity of the Larsson originals and towards a larger espionage/James Bond thriller vibe- perhaps a little like the Jason Bourne franchise. It does feel a little incongruous for Lisbeth here to be drawn into a thriller about a program that can seize control of the world's nuclear arsenals and leave the world ransom to armageddon- it really does feel more like the plot of a Bond movie.
Which might be a good thing, I don't know. I certainly quite enjoyed it, because it did seem to be stretching the character a little and pushing the boundaries- but does it do that too much? I guess that's more a question for die-hard fans of the Larsson originals to ponder.
Taking over the role of Lisbeth Salander here is Claire Foy, which really seemed a bit of a stretch to me when I became aware of the casting but I have to say it works quite well. There's a few peculiar moments where Foy seems to suddenly channel the Queen from Netflix's The Crown (an occasional inflection of her voice, or flash of her eyes, sometimes) but on the whole she's really intense and surprisingly successful, She manages the physical moments very well too- certainly a far cry from Little Dorrit.
Less successful, and very surprisingly so really, is Sylvia Hoeks as Camilla Salander, the main villain of the film and sister of our heroine. Hoeks was simply brilliant as Luv in BR2049, a really quite complex and nuanced character/performance but here she does seem to simply be a blonde Luv, reprising that role alarmingly in what feels a one-note performance. In Hoeks defence, I suspect it's more the limitations of the part as written, leaving her little else to really do with it, but its similarity to her character in BR2049 is really disappointing. When I saw her name in the credits my interest in the film was raised considerably as I've not seen her in anything else other than BR2049 and I was really curious to see her possibly surprise me, but alas, no, this really is just more of the same.
I gather the box-office returns from this film were quite poor so we are unlikely to see Foy reprise the role in future installments. Perhaps the intent to reboot the series into another film franchise with yet another cast was perceived as cynical and ill-judged, and got the rewards it deserved. For myself, the quality of the film (it's a pretty successful, albeit routine, old-fashioned thriller, and there's nothing particularly wrong with that in a cinema swamped by superhero caped crusaders etc) seemed pretty decent and I found myself enjoying it much more than I had expected. It does make me wonder if sometimes films such as this might be budgeted too highly – I suppose the purported budget of $43 million might seem fairly low in the great scheme of $150 million blockbusters but its returns of just $35 million (with marketing costs etc the film must have been a bit of a bomb financially) would suggest the market simply isn't strong enough to support films budgeted like this. If this is indeed the case then its an unfortunate state of affairs, and possibly suggests this kind of thriller might in future be relegated to Netflix/Amazon productions- which is a little sad, to consider that traditional cinema is no longer the place for thrillers like this.
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest – Extended Version (2009)

2016.73: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest – Extended Version (Blu-ray)
So the Millennium Trilogy draws to a close with this the final film. This extended version features about an half-hour of extra footage, so the difference is more akin to that of the first film than the substantial additions to the second one. That said, watching the films in quick succession really benefits this final entry. References are made to characters and events from the two previous films and I must confess that when I first saw this film years ago, it left me rather non-plussed; not really a fault of the film but as a non-reader of the original books, a lot of it was lost on me having had so much time between movies. Its clearly an advantage to serial-based films such as this when watched as part of a complete boxset.
Having watched the three extended films now, its been something of a surprise to me how prescient some of the themes and fears raised by these films have been. What began in the first film as a dark murder mystery with subversive sexual undertones has by the end become an almost existential crisis of conspiracies and abuse of power, finally undermined by investigative journalism and the efforts of a lone individual outside 'ordinary' society. Its also rather a critique of sexual politics, of the abuse of women by men and the rising power of women to fight that abuse. A far cry from that dead/missing girl in that first film (and I do wonder how on earth Hollywood would have approached these last two films).
Indeed I do think the trilogy, especially in its 'complete' extended form, is a major piece of work and it's sad to think it's probably more valid now than it was even seven years ago.
As with the previous two films, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire, this film is surprisingly non-conformist in structure and how it tells its story. Tellingly, the two protagonists are again pretty much separated throughout the film, and for what seems most of the film Lisbeth Salander is confined to a hospital bed. By this time of course the characters are pretty well established and this film benefits from the shorthand granted by having two previous films set things up. The film is tense and full of twists and turns, and unfolds the layers of mystery in the same fine fashion as the previous two films did. Its a great, very adult, thriller and a fine conclusion to the series (if it is a conclusion; I heard whispers years ago of further unpublished work by the deceased author Stieg Larsson, but as it never since arose I assume this is it unless some American studio gets away with making a spin-off tv series or some other calamity).
As usual for these films it is the characters that are triumphant, for all the horrors and scandals that the films depict. These are adult characters, life-worn and beaten, victims and villains, heroes and saviours. Integrity and goodness seems to triumph, but is this only because of where the film chooses to end? We have the impression of life moving on, the world rolling onward, and have to wonder how long it will be before there are fresh corporate and political monsters to be uncovered in the shadows.
The Girl Who Played with Fire – Extended Version (2009)
On September 29, 2016 By ghostof82In Blu-ray, Movies1 Comment
2016.72: The Girl Who Played with Fire- Extended Version (Blu-ray)
Following on from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, this film digs more deeply into the enigmatic Lisbeth Salander and her own mysterious past that unfolds here in a similar manner to the murder/incest mystery of the first film, but benefits by being more 'personal'. Its another great performance from Noomi Rapace that clearly demonstrates how wasted she has been in Western movies since. Again, as with the first film, whatever the merits of the mysteries and crimes that are examined, the real reward here is in the characters and their fascinating arcs.
And with this extended version, there's simply more of it, indeed a lot more, as I believe this version is close to an hour longer than the theatrical edit originally released over here. There was clearly a lot of material cut that frustrated fans of the book. Interestingly, the two leads, Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist, are separated pretty much throughout the film, which is an interesting if non-traditional dynamic that is rather at odds with how film dramas are usually constructed. They approach the central mystery from opposite points of view, and both investigations unfold seperate from the other and nonetheless inform each other from the audience point of view.
General opinion ranks this film significantly lesser than the first film, but I rather liked it, particularly in this 'fuller' version that somehow made more sense and is richer for the additional details. I thought in the first film the central mystery was almost incidental to the more interesting character dynamics, and with this story more closely concerned with Salander and her mysterious past, this mystery feels more rewarding and intimate.
Watching the films over successive days also helps keep the various arcs and plot threads fresh in your head too, so I certainly got more from this film than did when I first saw it several years ago (and months after the first film). The reveals regards Salander's tortured past informs events and actions in the first film too. So yes, it's a very interesting central film in the trilogy, and greatly improved by the extended running time.

2016.71: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo- Extended Version (Blu-Ray)
Packaged as part of the Millennium trilogy box, this is the first part of the trilogy and the only one of the books/films currently to have been (ill-advisedly) remade in the West. As I haven't read the books, and having seen the theatrical cut some years ago now, I couldn't tell you what the real differences are between that edition and this extended one, other than note something like thirty minutes additional running time. Its just been too long since I saw that original edition. Some scenes certainly seemed new to me but I couldn't be sure- at any rate the film doesn't at all drag even with that extra half-hour so that should be some indication to how well implemented the extra scenes are and how integral they are to the plot. Of course, part of my confusion no doubt results from memories of David Fincher's later remake; there are two previous versions floating dimly in my memory with different casts and locations, a uniquely confusing situation. Indeed, watching this extended original has me rather keen to revisit that Fincher version to compare the two.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is based on the bestselling novel by the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson, the first of three books (and now films) in the "Millennium Trilogy". Larsson was a journalist who turned to novelizations late in his career,and who died from a heart attack at the relatively young age of 50, adding a certain mystique to the author and the books, which became something of a publishing phenomenon. Screen versions were inevitable, but it was rather fitting that before Hollywood came calling the Swedes got to make their own version, pretty much filmed in the same locations as the book was set. With a native cast and language, the films were pretty much definitive and faithful, particularly in their full, extended versions as presented here.
Some years having now passed since those heady days of publishing-world hysterics when everyone was reading the books or watching the theatrical editions of the film versions, its easier to evaluate the achievement here. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a fine, taut thriller with a compelling mystery and great central characters, and surprisingly dark for a mainstream piece. Indeed, it's the characters that are the most rewarding here, making for rather unusual protagonists- a middle-aged journalist and an introverted, antisocial 24-year old computer hacker.The investigation is almost incidental; the plot is clearly servicing the characters and their dynamics, setting things up for the later books/films, so in some ways it's actually difficult to judge this film as a seperate entity. Inevitably that lends this version an advantage over the Fincher remake that failed to get its own sequels. That one perhaps stands forever isolated, while this one leads to The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest, two films filmed back to back soon after the first (all three made over a year-long period).
At any rate, this is an extended version that does seem to add to the original edit and it certainly doesn't suffer from a slower pace or dragging scenes/superfluous nonsense that some extended cuts suffer from. It all works so well you rather wonder how they managed to edit things down for the theatrical cut, or indeed what was cut at all. So yes, this does seem to be the superior version, and is thoroughly enjoyable (albeit it remains a rather disturbing slice of humanity, so maybe 'enjoyable' isn't really the right word).

Revenues stay solid for biophotonics suppliers
Vendors of aesthetic laser systems saw growth in the first quarter of the year, but net profits were harder to come by.
Palomar Medical Technologies
A group of suppliers in the aesthetic and biophotonics space have reported financial results for the first quarter of 2012, providing a snapshot of the sector's health and the effects of recent acquisitions. All saw healthy revenues, although not always by enough to move them into profit.
• Palomar Medical revenues increased for the tenth consecutive quarter year-on-year, rising 5 percent to $19 million. But the company still slipped slightly further into the red, reporting a net loss of $2.3 million for the quarter, compared to a $1.9 million loss for the equivalent quarter of 2011. Its balance sheet indicated that it now had slightly over $100 million held in cash and investments.
Joesph Caruso, CEO of the Massachusetts-based supplier of cosmetic laser systems, said that the company's intended strategy of selling home-use devices directly to consumers was continuing on course, and its focus was now on reducing costs for its professional products.
"We have leveraged many of our consumer products technologies and manufacturing processes to substantially reduce costs and enable us to offer an entry level professional system at a very attractive price," he commented. "This is intended to expand our customer base and allow us to cross-sell our full line of professional laser and light-based aesthetic systems."
• Cynosure, also based in Massachusetts and a vendor of lasers for aesthetic treatments such as skin rejuvenation and scar reduction, saw revenues rise on stronger demand in both North America and international markets.
Revenues increased to $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $21.9 million for the same period in 2011, while net income the first quarter was $0.8 million, compared with a net loss of $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2011.
"Our North American laser business led a strong performance in the first quarter, as total revenues increased 56 percent year-on-year," CEO Michael Davin told analysts. "Laser revenue in North America was up more than 90 percent, and international laser revenue also performed well with a 53 percent increase in the first quarter of 2012 over the same period in 2011, primarily attributable to our expanded product offerings from acquisitions."
The company generated income from operations of nearly $0.9 million in the first quarter, compared with a loss from operations of $1.9 million for the comparable period of 2011, and exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $76.8 million.
• A rise in year-on-year revenues of 23 percent to $32.5 million helped boost the quarterly results from Solta Medical, although charges related to the November 2011 acquisition of Liposonix pushed the company further into the red overall.
Solta posted a net loss of $8.8 million for Q1 2012, compared to the $1 million loss posted a year ago. But the quarter's results included a $4.7 million charge for a reassessment of payments associated with the acquisition of Liposonix in November 2011, along with $2.1 million of non-cash amortization and other acquisition related charges, and $1.1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation charges.
"The acceptance and feedback from physicians and their patients on the second generation Liposonix fat reduction procedure continues to be very positive," said CEO Stephen Fanning. "In the first quarter, much of our sales and marketing efforts were devoted to the launch of Liposonix, especially in North America, and we achieved a stronger than expected start. Going forward we are enhancing our focus to promote sales growth across all our product lines while we build on the market momentum for Liposonix."
• Iridex, whose sale of its aesthetic laser interests to Cutera in January 2012 leaves the California-based company free to concentrate on the ophthalmology and otolaryngology market, also saw solid revenue figures, but a net profit of $0.2 million for Q1 2011 become a net loss of $0.3 million for the past quarter.
Revenues from ophthalmology were largely consistent: $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2012, up from $8.2 million in the prior year period although down sequentially from $8.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. As anticipated, margins and costs in Q1 2012 were impacted by the sale of the aesthetics business and related organizational changes, as well as increased spending on new marketing and product development initiatives.
"While commercial traction from our new initiatives will likely show increasingly positive results in the second half of the year, we had a solid first quarter especially in terms of our efforts in the glaucoma market," commented CEO Dominik Beck to analysts. "I believe there are a number of very promising trends in the ophthalmic space, and that these trends can be turned into substantial growth opportunities for Iridex and allow us to grow faster than our historical rates. We are uniquely positioned as the only US public company with an exclusive focus on the large and growing retinal disease and glaucoma markets to capitalize on those opportunities."
Cutera Excel V
• Cutera itself was able to report quarterly revenue growth of 35 percent year-on-year, from $11.6 million to $15.7 million. But it too faced net losses, which slipped from $3.8 million in Q1 2011 to $5.2 million for the recent quarter, partly due to the reorganization caused by acquiring assets from Iridex.
CEO Kevin Connors praised "our fourth consecutive quarter of year-on-year revenue growth in excess of 22 percent, compared to the same period one year ago. We are pleased that we have been able to integrate the Iridex aesthetic asset acquisition into our business as planned. Our second quarter 2012 will reflect a full quarter's operating performance from this acquisition and we expect it to contribute incremental profits."
• PhotoMedex, the Pennsylvania-based developer of lasers for the dermatology market, reported net profits to accompany increased revenues, although here too the comparative figures were affected by a business reorganization. In July 2011 Photomedex agreed a merger with Radiancy, a supplier of direct-to-consumer dermatological products based in Orangeburg, New York, in which Radiancy became a majority owned subsidiary of PhotoMedex.
Partly as a result, the company's revenues for Q1 2012 rose by 45 percent year-on-year and 75 percent sequentially, to $50.3 million, of which $7.1 million came from pre-merged Photomedex. Net income for the first quarter was $4.9 million, down from the $8.1 million posted for the corresponding quarter of 2011. The company reported that it now had $23.5 million in cash and equivalents.
"Led by a 26 percent increase in consumer sales, the first quarter marks the third year of quarter-over-quarter double-digit revenue growth, an accomplishment we are very proud to note and one we expect to continue," commented Dolev Rafaeli, PhotoMedex CEO.

Q: pgfplots: How to remove all axis lines of polaraxis? I need to draw a polar coordinate system without border lines.
Adding axis lines=none (without star) to pgfplot's polaraxis argument list blanks out the coordinate system completely (including grid lines, tick lines, etc).
Adding axis lines*=none (with star) as in the following MWE removes the black axis line at the inner edge and the left edge of the sector. That's already half the job -- how can I remove the outer edge and the right edge?  (cf. screenshot below)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usetikzlibrary{pgfplots.polar}
\pgfplotsset{compat=newest}
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \begin{polaraxis}[%
                        xmin=-5,%
                        xmax=95,%
                        ymin=10,%
                        ymax=30,%
                        axis lines*=none,%
                        ]
        \end{polaraxis}
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

A: Add axis line style = {draw=white,line width=0.0001pt}, to the options (bit of a hack though). You can even omit draw=white and simply put axis line style = {line width=0.0001pt},. Line is there but invisible.
\documentclass{article}

                        ymin=10,%
                        ymax=30,%
                        axis lines*=none,%
                        axis line style = {draw=white,line width=0.0001pt},
                        ]
        \end{polaraxis}
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

A: I had the same problem and found that for a decent version of pgfplot (I'm running on 3.1.1) it is possible to add axis line style = {draw=none} to the polaraxis options. I prefer not to draw the lines rather than make them invisible.
Knowing that, the following code
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepgfplotslibrary{polar}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{polaraxis}
    [%
        axis line style = {draw=none},%
        xmin = -5,%
        xmax = 95,%
        ymin = 10,%
        ymax = 30,%
    ]
    \end{polaraxis}
\end{tikzpicture}

5 thoughts on "Cardinal Sarah accepts new position in Bergoglian Anti-Papacy"
IslamIsIslam says:
Not-So-Obvious-Establishment anti-church asset, perhaps? What with all the hub-bub on the book co-written with Pope Benedict. Or is Cdl Sarah an infiltrator and double agent?
Since he has yet to call for an official investigation into Feb 11, 2013, I'm leaning toward Not-So-Obvious-Establish anti-church asset. He says some good things but his actions, or rather inactions, not so much.
Ana Milan says:
Cardinal Sarah has always been a company man. Having been formed, ordained & consecrated in the VII Ape Church to expect him now to voice any worthwhile concern is anathema to him. At least Cardinal Burke has, to some extent, by signing & issuing the Dubia queried, but not emphatically enough, the rise of Jorge Bergoglio to the PO.
Ana, on October 29, 2019 my husband and I hand delivered Br. Bugnolo's Quaestio and other munus/ministerium Canon Law-type discussions and documents to Cdl Burke when he was giving a conference in Denver, Colorado. Along with the documents we also included our request that he call for an official examination of the evidence. To be precise, I did not put the envelope into the cardinal's hand. He directed me to give it to one of his attendants which I did.
Tellingly, a little more than one week later, an interview with Cdl Burke was published in the New York Times wherein he made absurd, blow-your-mind comments that can be found on Barnhardt.biz and which I've copy and pasted below:
Burke: While the final document is less explicit in the embrace of pantheism, it does not repudiate the statements in the working document which constitute an apostasy from the Catholic faith.
The working document doesn't have doctrinal value. But what if the pope were to put his stamp on that document? People say if you don't accept that, you'll be in schism — and I maintain that I would not be in schism because the document contains elements that defect from the apostolic tradition. So my point would be the document is schismatic. I'm not.
Douthat: But how can that be possible? You're effectively implying that the pope would be leading a schism.
Burke: Yes.
Douthat: Isn't that a deep contradiction of how Catholics think about the office of the papacy?
Burke: Of course. Exactly. It's a total contradiction. And I pray that this wouldn't happen. And to be honest with you, I don't know how to address such a situation. As far as I can see, there's no mechanism in the universal law of the church to deal with such a situation.
Here is one of Miss Barnhardt's comments on Cdl Burke's statements which can only be seen as even more disturbing especially in light of the fact that our request had been given to him directly, in person:
"This is a crystal clear example of the very serious mathematical/philosophical concept of 'Reductio ad absurdum'"…
So my conclusion is that, Dubia aside, Cdl Burke is also one of the "company men", one of the Not-So-Obvious-Establishment, who cannot be counted on to do any more than what he has done. It is the laity who must "roar" on behalf of our Holy Father.
The fact that the imperfect council Cardinal Burke promised Catholics he would call if the Dubia wasn't answered didn't happen, tells us he was personally threatened, perhaps along with the 2 signers of the Dubia who died unexpectedly. Instead of having the grace to go public about the Mafia treatment used against them he joined the rest of the silent Cardinals & lost our trust. Cardinal Mueller at the time stated it would cause a 'schism' (that magic word of escape) if Francis the Destroyer responded to the Dubia although, in reality, it had already occurred at VII & is still in progress within the Church in Germany. These are the times Our Lady of Good Success spoke of when She implored that the people of this time should "clamor insistently" to the Heavenly Father for an end to 'these ominous times' sending to the Church a prelate and father who would restore the spirit to the priests…I am convinced that by stressing a prelate & not a Pope Our Lady is indicating the end of the Papacy as we have known it up until now. The bifurcation brought about by PBXVI's invalid resignation & the consequent invalidly procured election of Antipope Francis watched by our complicit, docile & effeminate prelature has seen to that.
"…the end of the Papacy as we have known it…" Hmmm… perhaps more precisely one would say, "the end of the Papacy as Jesus divinely instituted it." As you know that's been the plan.
I agree with you that "by stressing a prelate & not a Pope" Our Lady is directing our focus to the papacy and not to any single pope. However we've known it up to now, that papacy as Jesus established it is massively threatened.
All the infighting, hand-wringing, silence, and inaction only serve to increase the doubt and the attacks by the faithful on each other and the papacy. Since 2018 when Msgr Bux called for an official examination of the evidence, the "heroic" words from Vigano, Burke, Sarah, Mueller, Schneider, Zen, etc… coupled with their inaction regarding an official examination only serve to foment and increase those same attacks on the papacy.
To borrow a slogan from the "white-allies" of BLM, their 'silence IS violence'.
What is the laity's concerted plan that allows us to "roar" both in and outside of com-boxes? Of course prayer, but what else?

Happy Fountain Pen Day! | Inkdependence!
It's the first annual Fountain Pen Day, so it's the day to spread a little pen-related goodness to your friends, family and coworkers. If you're in the office today, hand your FP to a friend and say "Hey! Try this!"
I posted about this new "holiday" on Facebook, and I got some interest from friends who haven't tried fountain pens before, and wanted some suggestions for a good starter-pen. That got me thinking, and I wrote up a "short list" of good pens to get started with. These are the ones that came to mind, and I welcome your additions!
The Sheaffer VFM is a solid entry level fp for about $15.
The Pilot Metropolitan is brand new, and priced at $15. I've got one on order now.
The Kaweco Sport is a great pen for $23.50. Fits easily in a pocket, and it comes in a variety of nib sizes.
You can't go wrong with a Lamy pen. The Safari and Vista are priced at $28, and they are an excellent workhorse pens. I like the extra weight of the Vista, but both are really good.
At $25 we have the Lamy Nexx which is a newer Lamy model whose style folks either love or hate. It's got the same good nibs and such from the Safari and Vista, but it has an aluminium barrel instead of plastic.
If you want a classier version of the Safari, the Al-Star comes in at $36 with all aluminum construction.
I don't have any affiliation with any of these companies, but I've ordered from all of them and they're good folk. The pictures below are taken from the companys linked above, and aren't my own.
Do you have any recommendations for starter inks? I see lots of reviews, but with no point of reference I've no idea which ink I'd try after my "starter sample" runs out.
FWIW, my pen came with a Chesterfield ink sample. It seems find to me.. but again, I've never tried any other.
What kind of pen did you get? I'm guessing that it came from xFountainPens.com if you have a Chesterfield sample. Chesterfields are really re-branded Diamine inks, so if you like it you might try out some more of that brand.
The best advice I can give (without knowing more) is to go to AndersonPens.net or isellpens.com and find some ink samples that look good to you.
Hi Michael - Thanks for the quick reply. It's a Bulow pen (X450 Wald) that I got from Amazon (it's a vintage-style pen I got as a prop, but I really like the pen).

Too many blowouts (maintained by too many squirts of dry shampoo) means we're often walking around with major product buildup. Our new fix: This pre-shampoo exfoliator, which scrubs away excess oil and product residue and leaves our scalp feeling clean and refreshed.
This liquid-y serum blends kiwi and soy and is just the thing to revive dull, lackluster skin. A few drops add a quick hit of hydration and an immediate glow.
The 93-percent natural formula has amino acids to strengthen, jojoba oil to nourish, and coconut green silicone to smooth, but what really won us over is the eco-friendly packaging. It comes in a shower-safe bottle made almost entirely out of of paper. (It's paper recycled from parent company L'Oreal's distribution centers, no less!) Talk about looking good while you're doing good.
You can customize everything from your phone case to your sneakers these days, so why not your moisturizer, too? This new collection allows just that with 15 different potential combos. Start by picking your moisture base (lotion, oil-control gel, or jelly), then choose your active ingredients (from blends to fight uneven skin tone, lines and wrinkles, irritation, pores and uneven texture, and fatigue). You'll end up with a targeted, perfect-for-you hydrator — and noticeably better skin.
When you need your cat-eye liner to make it all the way from a breakfast meeting to after-work drinks, grab this. It produces a thin, sharp line that doesn't budge, thanks to a long-wearing formula that's waterproof and sweatproof.
This highlighter is basically ethereal, runway-model skin made easy. Swipe the creamy stick on lids or cheekbones for a natural-looking radiance. The secret? There's no gaudy shimmer in the formula, so your skin won't look sparkly — just fresh, dewy and gorgeous.
The skin's barrier is its natural defense system, but man, can it take a beating. And when it's damaged, it can't do its job of keeping bacteria and allergens at bay, and that can translate to irritation for you. Consider this lighter-than-air moisturizer rehab for that battle-tested barrier. The soufflé-like cream is packed with a blend of hyaluronic acid, colloidal oatmeal, and lipids that calms, moisturizes, and gets your skin's barrier back in tip-top shape.
Not only does this volumizing spray hold our style without leaving it feeling stiff or crunchy, but it's got some pretty amazing technology behind it, too. While most aerosols rely on carbon-footprint-raising gases and compounds, this spray uses compressed air to produce its ultra fine, continuous mist. That's good news for your hair and for the environment.
From a serum that creates an instant glow to eyeliner that lasts all day long, here are eight new beauty products we're loving right now.
The post 8 New Beauty Products to Bring You Joy in January appeared first on theFashionSpot.

One to Three month side-project ideas list – Aaron Decker, Software Dude – hacking the gibson for fun and profit.
In the last one of these I tried to make a list of projects that would take one weekend to get a big start on. Well, one weekend is pretty limiting and chances are you cannot do anything truly novel. What if you had 4 full working weeks? With regular 40 hour work weeks that is 120 hours of time on a project. What if you had 3 times that amount?
Taking a month off of work is not impossible (I am in the US, so many would say that it is). You simply save 50% of your income the month before and arrange a 1 month unpaid sabbatical at work. Otherwise fitting 120 hours into nights and weekends would take a while: for example if you can only work 10 hours extra per week while working a regular job, that is 12 weeks on one side project!
What if you could take 1 year off of work and do 12 side projects that take 1 month each? At least one of these should turn out to be something either profitable or popular, or both, even if you only have a 10% success rate.
Ideas that will take one to three months to execute.
A fitness guide package for programmers. The goal here is to create a product / service that out of shape tech people can use to get into shape. It would aimed at using science based approaches to increasing strength, dealing with having to work at a computer monitor all day long, reducing or increasing caloric intake, and providing meal plans. It would include some consulting component, but would include creating videos showing the exercises.
A productized service based around an obscure IT skill. E.g. JVM tuning or Kubernetes deployment optimization. Build a website, build a marketing funnel, build sales copy, do content marketing, develop a flat rate payment form, and possibly learn the skill(?).
Research possibilities and begin to build a consultancy around some public data sets similar to Urban Spatial. This should include the time to find interesting datasets, build tools to analyze them and finally to build a marketing funnel around this.
Cleaned public data for sale. Find one useful public dataset that updates often but is provided with horrendous formatting. Build a pipeline to normalize it into a good relational format. Provide some basic statistics, historical info and visualizations with it. Re-sell it for a flat rate fee.
A course that explains IT to IT recruiters. Market it by creating fake profiles on job sites and responding to recruiters with the info like the founder of HackerRank did.
A site that maps all known gold deposits and historical gold prospecting sites in the US. Due to the popularity of shows like "Gold Rush" and enormous increase in the price of gold after the last recession it is reasonable to believe that during the next recession this interest will repeat and we will once again see people doing this for sport and profit. For example Virginia has over 300 historical mines. Although, looking at Google trends, maybe my hypothesis is false.
A site that shows very very old maps with modern roads and towns overlayed on top of it. It would interesting to urban explorers and history buffs, or people who do metal detecting as a hobby.
Develop an index showing the best cities in the US to be various jobs based on openings and overall size the economy in each sector. I.e. it should show San Francisco is heavy in IT work, but is actually a good ratio in terms of people vs openings?

A ductless mini split is one of the most energy efficient and cost efficient ways to keep your home warm during the cooler months, since without ductwork, these systems don't see the energy and air loss that forced-air systems experience. If you have a ductless mini split installed in your home and are looking for additional ways to optimize it for the colder weather, consider following these helpful tips.
Different models have different recommendations for how and where to install the air handlers in rooms. Follow those recommendations carefully, since the manufacturer will know the best practice. For example, some mini split air handlers should be installed near the ceiling, while some other models recommend much lower installation.
Try to keep the outdoor condensing unit at least two feet above ground level to keep air flowing. While heavy snow is not common in the Southeast U.S., some of the northern parts of the region can get a good snowfall occasionally. To protect your ductless mini split outside unit from the elements, consider placing it under a roof extension or overhang, or on an open porch. If snow builds on top of the outside unit, the evaporator will be forced to work overtime in order to melt the snow. Because of this, your house won't heat quickly enough. For optimal performance, try your best to keep all snow away from the outdoor unit, even if you see snow only a few times a year.
Because a ductless heating unit must work harder to keep your home warm during the winter months, it's crucial to understand how to set the temperature when your house is unoccupied. As a general rule, it's recommended that you keep your unit around 50 degrees and the air circulating throughout your home, to prevent cold spots from forming.
For additional advice on your ductless mini split maintenance and other home heating and cooling issues, please contact us at AirConditioningSouthEast.com. We will be happy to answer your questions and provide you with expert tips on keeping your home warm and comfortable.

«24 Hours» (або «Twenty Four Hours», «24 Hours of Fear») — пісня американського блюзового музиканта Едді Бойда, випущена синглом в лютому 1953 року на лейблі Chess. У 1953 році пісня посіла 3-є місце в чарті R&B Singles журналу «Billboard».

Свої версії пісні записувала велика кількість виконавців, зокрема Мадді Вотерс, Віллі Діксон та ін.

Версія Едді Бойда
Текст і музика були написані Едді Бойдом. У записі Бойду (вокал, фортепіано) акомпанували Роберт «Літтл Сакс» Краудер (тенор-саксофон), Роберт Локвуд, мол. (гітара), Віллі Діксон (бас) і Персі Вокер (ударні). Сесія звукозапису проходила 10 жовтня 1952 року в Чикаго (Іллінойс).

«24 Hours» була випущена у лютому 1953 року лейблом Chess Records на синглі (7" 45) з інструментальною композицією «The Tickler» на стороні «В». У березні 1953 року пісня посіла 3-є місце в чарті R&B Singles журналу «Billboard». Сингл став другим хітом для Бойда після виходу «Five Long Years» (1952), наступним хітом був «Third Degree», випущений у червні 1953 року.

Протягом свої кар'єри Бойд декілька разів записував інші версії пісні, наприклад, під назвою «Twenty-Four Hours Of Fear» для альбому Five Long Years (1965), разом з Cuby + Blizzards для спільного альбому Praise the Blues (1967), під назвою «24 Hours Of Fear» для Brotherhood (1975) і Vacation from the Blues (1976).

Casa builds skills of independence, introduces and develops academic learning, develops social skills and fosters a love and respect for the natural world. A strong sense of community is evident in the classroom, as well as a respect for others, the classroom, the environment and ourselves. The Montessori casa experience inspires a love of learning and a curiosity about the world that lasts a lifetime.
The casa program is organized into five areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics and Culture & Science.
Children also learn about art/art history, music, French, nature studies and phys ed.
To enroll in our casa class, children must turn 3 by December 31 of that school year, and must be able to use the washroom independently. We only accept 5 first-year students. Priority is given to siblings of current students, and those who wish to attend casa for the full 3-year program.
Practical Life exercises are familiar activities which attract the child and provide valuable skills for independence, sequencing ability, hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. The Practical Life exercises respond to the child's sensitive period for order. Activities such as: tying bows, pouring water, buttoning, zipping, polishing & putting things away.
Sensorial materials isolate single concepts, such as size, colour, shape, texture, sound, weight, taste and scent. Working with these materials helps to refine the senses and provides the language associated with these concepts. These materials respond to the Casa child's sensitive periods for language and movement.
Language work begins with the sandpaper letters, which prepare the child for writing and introduce the phonetic sounds of the letters. Students work through a series of materials that lead to reading and writing, an introduction to grammar, word study and creative writing.
Math materials allow the child the opportunity to fully understand number concepts, the processes involved in the four operations and squares and cubes of numbers 1 to 10. Self-directed practice with boards and charts provides the means to memorize math facts.
Cultural subjects include geography, science, botany, zoology, history, art, music, and French. A rich array of materials opens the child's eyes to the surrounding world, both natural and cultural. The casa child is very interested in the concrete world, things he/she can physically relate to. The study of languages introduces children to cultures around the world, and gives them a basic vocabulary of nouns, verbs, adjectives and simple phrases as a foundation to build upon.
Music and Art are an important part of HMS and the children are able to explore both independently as part of the regular classroom. Students are exposed to composers and artists and their works in their weekly lessons. Music and Art are used to reinforce learning in many subjects, like geography, astronomy and French.
We are outside as much as we can! Recess is for an hour or more each day and on nice days we spend the afternoons studying botany, biology hands on in the garden or our maple grove.
HMS is a family, a community of parents, teachers and children who all work together. Our older students are our role models and our Casa students look up to them.
If you would like to observe our casa classroom in action, please email us at info@hummingbirdmontessori.ca or call our office at 705-888-1252. We would love to have you visit!


Mrs. Louse Thorne (centre) and her family.
Barbados' newest super-centenarian is Louise Thorne, who turned 110 years on Monday, January 1.
Mrs. Thorne, who resides at 1st Avenue, Thorne Road, Greens, St. George, celebrated her special milestone with family and friends.
The supercentenarian is the mother of eight children, two of whom have predeceased her. She has 22 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren.
She was married to Alphonsa Thorne for 61 years, before he predeceased her in May 2000.
Mrs. Thorne, who is still very sharp, but is blind, credits her longevity to honouring her mother and father, according to the Fifth Commandment, and her love for God.
As a young girl, she worked as a babysitter for a plantation family. There were many challenges along the way, as she helped her husband work the land and raised their children. She took some of the produce from the land to The City market for sale to help support the family, and assisted her husband in raising their own livestock for consumption.

She has been a devoted Christian for most of her life and instructed her children to follow a similar path. As a member of the Church of God Reformation Movement at Greens, St. George, the singing of hymns and reciting of scripture verses form part of her daily routine.
The supercentenarian is seen as a constant source of encouragement to those who share part of her daily life, as well as those who come to visit with her or call her on the telephone.
Her family respects her as the matriarch, and is willing to submit to her advice and wise counsel. She ensured that her children and grandchildren were committed to education, and aspired to achieve their best at all levels.
Mrs. Thorne lost her sight in her later years due to glaucoma, but still demonstrates a spirit of contentment. At her 110th birthday celebrations, her doctor recalled her singing despite the pain she was experiencing while travelling to the hospital by ambulance.
She has a great sense of humour and at her age she still has the ability to inspire laughter in her conversations. After her jokes she would say "If you laugh, you won't hear half" and "I give you a joke, but don't choke".
One of her favourite sayings is, "I am climbing Jacob's ladder, and will soon get to the top".
Mrs. Thorne is highly respected in her community by children, young people and adults.
Happy 110th Birthday, Mrs. Thorne!

Navy: USS Carl Vinson Sailor Death Unrelated to COVID-19
Off Veteran News,
BREMERTON, Wash. — A U.S. Navy sailor has died onboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, due to causes unrelated to the coronavirus, officials said.
Spokeswoman Miranda Williams said the first-class petty officer was found unresponsive in his work center on Saturday, the Kitsap Sun reported.
"Given the facts presented so far, this is not a COVID related death," she said, adding that he did not exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19 and had "appeared in good health."
The Navy did not identify the officer. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is investigating the death.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of our departed shipmate," Williams said.
The death comes after the USS Carl Vinson emerged from dry dock earlier this month after a $367 million overhaul at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Navy officials said.
Previously, the Navy has publicly identified a Carl Vinson sailor who tested positive for COVID-19, but leaders have confirmed that the sailor was on leave and never made it onboard the ship, officials said, adding that the announcement came despite the Pentagon ban prohibiting individual commands from reporting coronavirus cases.
As of Monday, the ship had no cases of COVID-19, Williams said.

It is at Ole Miss where I met my wife-to-be, Mary Jo, and recently celebrated 50 years of a very wonderful marriage. We spent the majority of our lives in the Jackson, Mississippi area where I was Chief Executive Officer of Central Mississippi Planning and Development District, a non-profit association of local governments, for 44 years. I retired in 2015 and moved to the Nashville area to be closer to my son and his family. The last years have been extremely rewarding and the Church leadership and Clergy of Father Chad and Deacon Suzie have been remarkable.

Q: How can I limit a forEach loop to iterate only 16 times I want to limit the forEach loop to only show a maximum of 16 results.  Is there a way I can achieve this?

A: Using slice works:

Here is a Plunkr showing this.
