Joan Didion: Living and Writing Between L.A. and New York City
EDITORIAL / USA
Words: Heidi Harrington-Johnson
Film, Literature, Los Angeles, New York, USA,
When Joan Didion first traveled to New York she was wearing a dress that soon seemed dowdy. It rained that day, which was strange because it was summertime and it didn't normally rain during the summer in California—where she was from. She took the bus into Manhattan to commence a writing career at Vogue—the beginning of a journey that would come to define her as one of the most prolific writers of her generation. Didion has penned works of political reportage, mastered the essay, authored screenplays and five novels. On the eleventh of October of this year, a documentary about her life and work Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold premiered at the 55th New York Film Festival and, made using her words, epitomises her authorial intent to capture the transience of existence in an attempt to understand it—and to then make it permanent.The documentary will premiere on Netflix on 27th October, 2017. "Why did I write it down?" She asks in one of her essays in reference to a habit that started when her mother gave her a notebook at five years old. "In order to remember, of course, but exactly what was it I wanted to remember? How much of it actually happened? Did any of it? Why do I keep a notebook at all?"Joan Didion, 'Slouching Towards Bethlehem' (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008), 132

"Didion left New York in 1964. After spending eight years in the city, the idiosyncrasies that had once been a source of inspiration had become cliché."
Didion left New York in 1964. After spending eight years in the city, the idiosyncrasies that had once been a source of inspiration had become cliché. There were the women walking their Yorkshire terriers on upper Madison Avenue, and there was Times Square. There were the Chinese laundromats and elevators that she cried in, and there were the taxis. From the White Rose bar, she watched man go to the moon. Hers was a New York defined by facades; it wasn't home.
During her first year there, she'd lived with other people in their apartments and she marked time as people do, with holidays and long weekends. Then, she found a place of her own and filled it with furniture found in storage—remnants of another life lead by another woman who had since left. As Didion would eventually do. Didion didn't bring these things with her to the apartment she rented next, about twenty blocks downtown, or her winter clothes, or the map in her bedroom she'd looked at everyday as a reminder of her home in California. She bought a bed and borrowed two French garden chairs and these items furnished a few of her new four rooms. Later, she bought yellow silk which she draped over her bedroom windows, "because I had some idea that the gold light would make me feel better, but I did not bother to weigh the curtain correctly and all that summer the long panels of transparent golden silk would blow out the windows and get tangled and drenched in the afternoon thunderstorms."Joan Didion, 'Slouching Towards Bethlehem' (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008), 232 Hers was an existence romanticised and defined by a dream. "You see," she says in Goodbye to All That, "it never really occurred to me that I was living a real life there. To think of 'living' there was to reduce the miraculous to the mundane; one does not 'live' at Xanadu."Joan Didion, 'Slouching Towards Bethlehem' (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008), 231
"In 1964, Didion travelled back across the United States to Los Angeles. The journey mimicked the one her ancestors had done, one marked by a certain mentality that came to define the American Dream."
In 1964, Didion travelled back across the United States to Los Angeles. The journey mimicked the one her ancestors had done, one marked by a certain mentality that came to define the American Dream. They had abandoned wagons and possessions and fought disease and sometimes lost, to find a new life in the West. Didion likens the Californian landscape to this pioneer sprint; its deserts represent life and death and Hollywood is a beast with, "… a lowered sexual energy, an inability to devote more than token attention to the preoccupations of the society outside."Joan Didion, 'The White Album' (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2009), 160
New York has an energy, too, albeit a more frenetic one. It is also a city defined by its streets; the grid system dictates traffic flows and the movement of pedestrians in linear fashion as if attempting some form of control. Yet, New Yorkers move at speed. Whether on foot or by train, the pace at which bodies shift from A to B seems to happen more dramatically. New York is another kind of beast, one that offers solace in parks—there are over 1700 of them—as opposed to mountain hikes or city beaches. Yet skyscrapers, bastions to another kind of dream, peer constantly over tree tops. The final frontier in New York is limitless, it seems. In Los Angeles, all one need do is peer out to sea. With back turned to the city, its palm trees seem to whisper, "freedom, freedom" in the breeze.

"There [L.A.], she acquired a sense of permanence; she lived in houses she didn't want to leave. In Hollywood, the painted surfaces of her rented home peeled."
Los Angeles and New York might share an expansionist psyche, but they are very different. Didion spent twenty-four years in Los Angeles, long enough, she says, to "get it." There, she acquired a sense of permanence; she lived in houses she didn't want to leave. In Hollywood, the painted surfaces of her rented home peeled. Rooms were plentiful, pipes were broken and the tennis court overgrown. In Malibu, she befriended a Mexican orchid breeder and watched the moonlight the Pacific Ocean, and when she smelled the jasmine flowering, she decided to give up her apartment in New York.
In California, Didion also began to acquire things. She collected mementos: a quilt made by her great-grandmother during her trip west and three tea cups embossed with her initials, family recipes, photographs and appliqué stitched by her great-great-grandmother. These objects, moved across space, serve as markers of time and began to create, for Didion, a continuity of place. They are attempts to make sense of her family narrative—one that underlies the larger American story—something she continually tries to make sense of in her work. Yet, these objects also became burdensome. "Paralysed by the neurotic lassitude engendered by meeting one's past at every turn, around every corner, inside every cupboard, I go aimlessly from room to room," she says of a Los Angeles home. "I decide to meet it head on and clean out a drawer, and I spread the contents on the bed… There is no final solution for the letters of rejection from The Nation and the teacups handprinted in 1900… I close the drawer, and have another cup of coffee with my mother. We get along very well, veterans of a guerrilla war we never really understood."Joan Didion, 'Slouching Towards Bethlehem' (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008), 166
"It is hard to find California now. Unsettling to wonder how much of it was merely imagined or improvised; melancholy to realise how much of anyone's memory is no true memory at all but only the traces of someone else's memory, stories handed down on the family network."
Joan Didion, 1965
In 1965 Didion wrote: "It is hard to find California now. Unsettling to wonder how much of it was merely imagined or improvised; melancholy to realise how much of anyone's memory is no true memory at all but only the traces of someone else's memory, stories handed down on the family network."Joan Didion, 'Slouching Towards Bethlehem' (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008), 177 Perhaps we choose to travel to and live in particular cities because something about them resonates with us. We are drawn to them, like moths, hoping that some part of them will rub off on us or that we might understand why we are here, our purpose, or what it really means to live. Perhaps Didion wrote about the melancholy of memory as a precursor to leaving Los Angeles. Perhaps she had found what she was looking for.
Now, Didion lives in an apartment on East 71st Street, where her great-great-grandmother's appliqué hangs on the wall. She moved back to New York in 1988 but continues to live between the two cities, maintaining her Californian driving license. Yet, despite understanding Los Angeles, the nostalgia that sparked her initial journey West remains, and it's this, that seems to define her later work. The Year of Magical Thinking details the loss of her husband and in Blue Nights she writes about her daughter, who died two years later. There is also Political Fictions, which successfully unravels the American political process and unmasks the American Dream. Perhaps Didion hadn't really found what she was looking for but she was somehow getting closer to it.
When I first arrived in New York, I too lived in an apartment filled with things that could easily be thrown away. It was also summer then, and the subway cars pushed the humid heat around the city. I found Union Square and solace in a bookstore, in the New York section—travel books, city guides, historical nonfiction—all in attempt to delineate and understand the city while simultaneously contributing to the mythology of it. I stood in awe of the books, but also the endeavours made to categorise and familiarise streetscapes. Didion has a way of doing this that isn't contrived. Her essays are maps of a different kind; of a complicated psyche searching for existential solace. For Didion, a sense of belonging seems to offer some respite as do family relics. Both offer a central point from which to form and focus a narrative—whether it is one to be continued or a journey beginning seemingly from the start.
Sitting in my rented tenement room at the time, at a rickety desk, and looking out over the painted-red fire escape into the gardens of the buildings below, I was reminded of the bookstore on that hot afternoon. I don't use spiral notebooks, nor do I keep a diary, but there is something to be said for the recording of a life. By intermittently anchoring herself on the poles of country divided, Didion traverses not the inner workings of her own mind but that of America's, too. There is a universality with which she writes. It's as if her pen a scalpel and she a doctor of some kind; the mystic of Los Angeles and New York City a little tarnished by her efforts but still seemingly divine.
Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold will premiere on Netflix on 27 October, 2017.

The Lambing Ease and Gestation length ASBVs have been developed to reduce the impact of lambing difficulties in the Australian sheep flock.
Lambing difficulties have an obvious economic impact by increasing ewe and lamb mortality rates and increasing labour requirements.
Lambing Ease Daughters (LE DTR) describes how easily a sire's daughters will have lambs.
Llambing ease has been slowly declining over the last ten years, due to selection pressure on lifting growth rates.
This is also reflected in correlated increases in birth weight.
The good news is that the introduction of LE ASBVs has identified a huge range in animals with the potential for improving lambing ease.
In the terminal LAMBPLAN database, there is a range of 33% for LE DIR from the best to the worst 2008 drop animals.
This translates to the best animal having 16.5% fewer progeny potentially needing assistance to be born when compared to the worst animal.
The Gestation Length (GL) ASBV provides an estimate of the genetic differences between animals in gestation length.
It is important that GL ASBVs are used to optimise performance for this trait at moderately short values as both very long and very short gestation lengths will have a negative effect on lamb survival.

Akita Komaga Take Volcano, Japan
Omae-dake cone and the small pond Amida-ike are located at the NE end of the summit crater complex of Akita-Komaga-take volcano.
The pyroclastic cone Omae-dake (also known as Komaga-take) forms the highest point of the volcano and has produced lava flows to the north and east.
This photo is taken from the NE rim of an elliptical 1.5 x 3 km caldera partially filled by basaltic cones.
Historical eruptions have occurred from cones and fissure vents inside the caldera.
Two calderas partially filled by basaltic cones cut the summit of Akita-Komaga-take volcano.
The larger southern caldera is 1.5 x 3 km wide and has a shallow sloping floor that is drained through a narrow gap cutting the SW caldera rim.
On its northern side the southern caldera borders a smaller more circular 1.2-km-wide caldera, whose rim is breached widely to the NE.
The two calderas were formed following explosive eruptions at the end of the Pleistocene, between about 13,500 and 11,600 years ago.
Two cones, Me-dake and Ko-dake, occupy the NE corner of the southern caldera, whose long axis trends NE-SW.
The highest point of the volcano is a cone within the northern caldera, 1637-m-high Komaga-take (also known as Omae-dake or Oname-dake), which has produced lava flows to the north and east and has a 100-m-wide summit crater.
Small-scale historical eruptions have occurred from cones and fissure vents inside the southern caldera.

A 214 kilometre route with over 3.700 metre height differences: one of the most difficult Alpine stages. Obtaining the license in one day is a real challenge: we suggest, therefore, that you try to obtain it in various stages while staying overnight in the many accommodation present in the territory, which would also allow you to truly enjoy your stay in Mugello. To obtain the license, you must complete the Gran Tour within a maximum of 9 days and register your time using the CARD at the 13 signage points along the route supplied with sensing devices.
The signage are found in Barberino di Mugello (remote sensing "during the race"), Futa Pass (remote sensing "during the race"), Raticosa Pass, Firenzuola, Valico del Paretaio, Palazzuolo sul Senio, Marradi, Dicomano, Ponte a Vicchio, Borgo San Lorenzo, Vetta Le Corci (Olmo), San Siero a Sieve, Scarperia.
The route must be run clockwise, but you can start at any point.
Note The road is completely paved, sometimes disjointed. It requires considerable training. Great to prepare super-randonnées.

Chris Jeanneret Reveals Plans for 2014 Formula D Turbo S2000
Posted by: Patrick Walker on January 30th, 2014
As we previously mentioned, Chris Jeanneret announced a couple weeks ago that he will be piloting a Turbocharged K24 powered Honda S2000 built by SpeedFactory Racing. So without further abdue we'll just let Chris explain what he has in store.
Kenneth Moen Teams Up With Achilles Radial & Bridges Racing
Earlier today it was announced that Kenneth Moen will be joining the current Achilles Radial & Bridges Racing for the 2014 season alongside their current roster of Daigo Saito, Robbie Nishida, and Dean Kearney.
This is big news for Moen as he was seen in a borrowed car at Irwindale to end the 2013 season after, rumor has it, Lutz Performance ran out of funding and pulled out of Formula D and possibly closed it's doors.
Kenny will be piloting a new car built by San Bruno California based shop Limitless Motorsports. They will be building him a 2JZ powered Nissan 240sx s14 chassis expected to put out around 700hp.
Kenneth performed pretty well in a Z chassis last season that was pushing it's life well past it's use so it should be a great season for him in a new chassis with proper support.
Formula D Round 3 Heads to Miami!
Posted by: Patrick Walker on January 21st, 2014
It's been a topic in the paddock for a while now about the dislike of Palm Beach International Raceways makeshift drift course and it's disconnect from any major population as it's hosted the last three, and only, events for Formula D in Florida. It was first noticed at the official Formula D 2014 season press release, held at SEMA, that Round 3 only mentioned Florida and not PBIR or a city, we now know that city and track! Formula D released the first advertisement for the 2014 season and it lists Miami, Fl's Homestead-Miami Speedway! Hopefully this venue has a much better setup and reception from the drivers than PBIR did.
Patrick Mordaunt Back in 350z for 2014 Season
So Patrick Mordaunt posted this video on Instagram today and announced the return of his old Nissan 350z to Formula D in 2014. It looks like He will not be piloting the Apexi Lexus SC430 this upcoming year. This has to make us curious as to rather we will see the return of Ryuji Miki to Formula D US as he was seen testing in the Lexus SC430 at Texas this past year. When the SC430 was initially built it was for Ryuji in the 2010 series, but he did not return to the US series in 2011 and that is when Patrick took over piloting the car. And after 3 years he just looks to have been getting comfortable in that chassis, so lets see how comfortable he is getting back behind the turbo VQ powering the Z.
Chris Jeanneret To Pilot Turbo S2000 In Formula D 2014
Posted by: Patrick Walker on January 8th, 2014
The last time we saw Chris Jeanneret was upside down in his s14 at round 7 of Formula D in 2013 at Irwindale, well today we hear a big announcement from Speed Factory Racing out in Tacoma, WA. It looks like they have teamed up with Chris Jeanneret Racing to build a one of a kind Honda s2000 drift machine. The vehicle will be powered by a turbocharged K24 engine and estimated to put out 800hp and 700tq.
This should be an interesting build to see, there have only been two other s2000s in Formula D, and none at all since Stephan Papadakis hung up his helmet to run Tanner Foust's program. I personally look forward to see what they have in store for the Honda lovers in the drift community.


Welcome to another edition of "People Pulse." Meet Meredith: Talented, funny, and someone you'll definitely be glad you've gotten to know.
Q. What brought you to Orlando, and how long have you lived here?
A. I grew up in a military family which meant we were moving every 2-4 years of my childhood. Our last move brought us to north Florida. When it was time to choose a college, something just drew me to UCF which led me to Orlando. I've lived here since 2007, the longest I've ever lived in one place. I met my husband here in 2009 and from that moment forward I knew the Orlando area was truly my home.
Q. What's one of your favorite things about living in Central Florida?
A. Only one thing? I have to cheat on this answer and give two! First, the food scene. When I first moved here chains dominated the area and you'd have to really be a local to know where to find a "mom and pop", but over the last few years the food scene has EXPLODED! We are now on the map for a foodie destination. There is such a variety of culinary splendors now that I have a restaurant bucket list for the area. Secondly, the supportive and loving community of Central Florida is amazing. From the support for local businesses and the arts, to the overall love and inclusion of all makes me so proud to be apart of this community.
Q. What originally inspired you or led you to be a creative person. Tell us a little about your journey to where you are today.
A. I've always had a love for anything creative—painting, drawing, crafts, you name it. Although I loved it, I doubted my talents and the ability to make what I loved into a living. I struggled with what my "calling" was in life was and instead of recognizing my calling had to do with my creative side—I told myself these were just hobbies. Fast forward years later as I planned my own wedding, I created every little detail by hand. And I LOVED it. It all clicked, I'm meant to do this for other people. I'm meant to create pieces that personalize and bring meaning to peoples life moments now matter how small. That's when I decided to launch Tassel + Trim, my small business specializing in hand lettered goods. I love that I can share my modern calligraphy + design with others.
A. Wow, that's a tough one because I can't imagine doing anything else other than modern calligraphy and design…If I had to choose I would say something else within the creative field, or maybe opening a wine of coffee shop! Basically anything that would make me smile and jump out of bed excited for the day.
Q. What's one thing that keeps you inspired or motivated as a creative person?
A. I am a Type A creative person (kind of an oxymoron, huh?), this means I'm always trying to keep the to do lists going and never wanting to stop. This also is the opposite of what my creative side needs. It's a fine balance to keep both of these sides in check. To keep motivated and inspired I have realized I need to take time to pause, spend time with the ones I love and to plug into my community. By doing these things (even though my Type A side feels they are sometimes counterproductive) they allow me to refill my cup and refuel my energy so my creative side can thrive.
Q. How do you decide what items to create?
A. I really just have ideas pop in my head at any given moment—in the middle of the night or in the shower most commonly, haha! I also carve out time to just create—through trial and error I find things that l love and then I instantly know, "this had to be a product!" I also listen to each customer or my ideal customers and see what they are interested in—if it matches my style and brand then I try it out.
Q. How do people learn about you and find your Etsy shop right now?
A. A website is coming very soon (yay!) but for now you can find all of my projects on Instagram @tassel_and_trim or by going directly to my Etsy shop at Etsy.com/shop/TasselAndTrimShop.
Q. Are you connected to the local "creative" scene here in Central Florida? What is it like?
A. It's amazing—I feel like the central Florida creative scene really embraces the phrase "community over competition" I've had the pleasure of working with some wonderful local creatives and shops. There is no better feeling than "talking shop" with talented and encouraging people.
Q. What are some of your favorite places in Orlando to be inspired by creativity, or just to be motivated?
A. Oh man, there are a bunch! Anywhere outside really— we just moved to Winter Garden a year ago and walking on Plant Street when the wisteria is in full bloom—it's breathtaking. You can hear the buzzing of the market in the background and the sun beaming on the old brick roads, it really does feel like a storybook. The beach is my ultimate place to just breath deeply and unplug which opens me up to a creative headspace. A few local places I love to stop by and either work or wander around are: credo, lineage, east end market, the heavy, adjectives and the list goes onnnn!
A. I am really interested in stepping into the farmer's market scene! There are such vibrant markets in the area and I'm curious to see how a modern calligraphy booth would do there. I want to be right in the middle of this bustling and vibrant community, plugged in and serving our town.

But in his mid-twenties, when he was living as a ski bum in Chamonix, France, he watched as his friends were "pulled in by life"—starting real jobs and no longer able to simply chase the next great line. "If I wanted to still have skiing as the center of my life, I had to make it my job."
And so he did. Now 31 years old, Schirmer has made countless films documenting his adventures skiing in the backcountry, taking viewers to new heights (literally) on mountains in France and Norway.
His latest three films take place on the Norwegian mountains of Nállangáisi, Skamtinden, and Jiehkkevárri (the biggest mountain in northern Norway). With inspirational music and flashbacks to earlier trips, Schirmer's films aren't like any old ski edit; they get to the heart of why the crew keeps coming back to the daunting, beautiful mountains.
In each film, the avalanche risk is ever present. Schirmer says he does extensive research on a mountain and its conditions to make sure he's being as safe as possible before heading into the backcountry.
Schirmer also must consider who he brings on each expedition. All crew members are experienced (and oftentimes professional) skiers, but it's up to each person to determine how much they want to push themselves out of their comfort zone. It's important to "let everyone approach the mountain in their own way" Schirmer says; if someone wants to turn around on a section of the mountain that doesn't feel safe for them, their decision is respected.
Despite the harrowing nature of Schirmer's work, there's a lightness and playfulness to the films. "Skiing can be the best thing in the world," he says, explaining that they aren't trying to portray themselves as "superheroes who go into the mountains and face danger. The only reason to put ourselves in these situations is because it's fun."
Nállangáisi, Skamtinden, and Eulogy Of A Steep Skier, from Norrøna, capture some of Schirmer's biggest runs and give viewers the chance to get to know him and the team. Watch Skamtinden above.

Gay Guide India
The age of consent had been set at 18 instead of 16 in 2012. In December 2013, the Supreme Constitutional Court overturned a 2009 ruling of the Supreme Civil Court that decriminalised homosexual acts. The corresponding paragraph 377 is in accordance with the constitution, the court declared. Now homosexual sex was again punishable - as it had been in India since colonial times. However, the court left it to politicians to repeal the paragraph at any time by a new law. Five years later, the court itself took action: on 6 September 2018, after re-examining the criminalisation of "unnatural sexual practices" according to paragraph 377, homosexuality was legalised again. Also heterosexual oral and anal intercourse. The ban on "carnal intercourse against nature" remains in paragraph 377 - it now only applies to sexual offences against children and animals. India has been supporting the rights of homosexuals in the UN since 2010 - unlike many countries where homosexuality was a punishable offence. India voted for the rights of LGBT in many respects even before legalisation in its own country. The second Gay Pride Parade in New Delhi took place on 28 June 2009. There are also Pride events in Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore and many other cities. Perhaps this is also why homosexuality has been more strongly addressed in the media and public in recent years. State recognition of homosexual relationships and anti-discrimination protection are under discussion and are urgently demanded by activists. The extent of religious influence was demonstrated in October 2011, when the Goa state government, under pressure from Catholic and Hindu groups, was forced to withdraw plans to market Goa as a gay-friendly part of India. Some politicians also sporadically continued to fuel resentment against homosexuals. There are now LGBT communities in India's big cities, also with offers of a gay nightlife - but this does not take place openly, but is mostly rather hidden.

DREAMs from the past few nights
Feeling sad about the dog and haven't felt much like posting lately, so I saved them up.
DREAM 2.22.03
Had one of those reocurring dreams with the "endless basement that goes on forever." I was also standing in the basement and Stan was constructing this round red brick wall around me and Plato...sort of like a silo, but it was very low....I guess he didn't have enough bricks.
This was a really freakingly stupid dream. I dreamt I was watching the X-Files, which must've been an extremely recent remake of the show because there was no Mulder, Scully or even those lame "replacements" they brought in for the final series (Doggett and whatever that woman's name was...forgot)...this was like post-post-post-X-Files with a different male/female duo. And for some stupid reason Pink Floyd was guest-starring, but it was lame because it was only the Dehydrated version (no Roger :-() and the only one I recognized was Nick Mason...the others didn't even look like themselves, and I don't think it was even them...a totally imposter sort of dream. I don't even know what the plot was (of the X-Files episode...not the dream).
We had an atrium in our house. Not just one of those small do-it-yourself construction kit Home Depot greenhouse addition things, this was a massive original-to-the-house Victorian Atrium. Like three stories high, leaded glass ceiling, as big as a freakin' gymnasium. I don't think it was our house, I think it was a different house we bought. Stan and I were sort of "complaining" that the only house we could find in our price range just happened to come with an atrium, so we took it. Uh huh. And I was also saying that we'd have to hire someone to maintain it, as I wouldn't want Stan climbing up on the glass roof. I also remember that someone was asking me if they could pay me a retainer of $1,000-$5,000 to keep me on a job project of theirs. Mmm hmmm. Then I was telling Stan that I've lost my integrity and become what I hate...a yuppie. But not to worry, I woke up as poor as ever, and no atrium, but integrity intact.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dr. Mandy Cohen, secretary of North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services, says coronavirus cases are rising at an alarming rate and lays out a vaccine plan for the weeks ahead.
Dr. Cohen says North Carolina has hit a new milestone with over 5,000 new positive cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours and an 11.4 positive percent rate (the highest positivity rate the state has seen).
Dr. Cohen urged citizens to stay home and avoid gathering during the holidays with anyone outside of their immediate household.
Dr. Cohen says the FDA and its advisory committee will review two vaccines this month, and once a vaccine is approved, the first doses will be given to high-risk health care workers at a limited number of hospitals.

My Favourite and Not-So Favourite Films of 2022
Happy 2023 and good riddance to 2022. I'm pretty sure I wrote the same thing last year. Little did I know twelve months ago that 2022 would shape up to be a very challenging year for me on a personal level. The fact that I'm still here, though, means that I survived the drama and turmoil. Here's to new beginnings!
If you've been reading my annual recaps for the past few years, you'll know that I don't like doing a "Best of the year" list. The word "best" is subjective and what I think is best may not be what you think is best. All too often I read other people's "best" lists and I scratch my bald head over their choices. I also don't like doing them because so many awards contenders come out at the end of the year and I often don't get to see them until well into the new year. THE WHALE, for example, isn't coming here for a few months yet. If I were to do a thorough assessment of what I think the best films of the year are, I would have to wait until then and who wants to read that? That's why I prefer to compile a "Favourite films of the year" list. These are the films that I enjoyed or appreciated the most over the year. I'm not saying they're worthy of awards. I'm saying they entertained me the most. So, without further ado, here is the list of my favourite films of 2022:
10. The Menu
Wonderfully witty with a fabulously snotty performance from Hong Chau (DOWNSIZING), THE MENU is a hoot. Unfortunately, the story gives away its surprise far too early leaving audiences to sit through the inevitable but, when it cooks, it's deliciously subversive.
9. All Quiet on the Western Front
Germany's entry for the Best International Feature Film Oscar has already made it onto the category's shortlist of 15 films. German director Edward Berger, who also shares the writing credit, goes back to Erich Maria Remarque 1929 novel "Im Westen nichts Neues" (In the West Nothing New) for a new take on the 1930 and 1979 films of the same name. While there are obvious comparisons between this film and Sam Mendes' Oscar winner, 1917, ALL QUIET is a much more interesting and powerful story, and one that is highly relevant too, given the fighting going on in Ukraine right now. Regardless of what happens at the Oscars in March, expect to see the film's two stars, Felix Kammerer and Albrecht Schuch (THE ROYAL GAME), take home the top male acting awards at this year's German Film Awards in May.
8. The Roundup (범죄도시2)
South Korea continues to put out high quality films that are finding fans all over the world. Seoul's answer to "Dirty Harry" Callahan, police detective Ma Seok-do (Ma Dong-seok/마동석 aka Don Lee, ETERNALS), is back busting heads and wrists but this time his work takes him overseas where a new South Korean villain is up to no good. THE ROUNDUP offers fans of THE OUTLAWS everything they liked about the 2017 film and a whole lot more.
7. Triangle of Sadness
Taking the super-privileged down a peg or three appears to be a popular theme in movies this year, as we saw with THE MENU and GLASS ONION. Swedish director Ruben Östlund (FORCE MAJEURE), who seems to be making a career out of poking fun at life's top 1% percenters, is back with TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, which takes a huge swipe at the super-rich and those who wish they were so. As he did with FORCE MAJEURE and THE SQUARE, TRIANGLE OF SADNESS features a riotously funny set piece that will make some people think twice about taking a cruise.
6. The Fabelmans
At 76, Steven Spielberg doesn't seem to be retiring anytime soon yet THE FABELMANS, a somewhat fictionalized version of his own life, would be a fitting end to his illustrious career if it were. The man is currently working on a new film about Frank Bullitt, the character made famous by the late actor Steve McQueen in the 1968 film, BULLITT, and he's also produced the new INDIANA JONES movie, which is coming in June. Featuring hugely entertaining performances from Paul Dano, Michelle Williams and relative newcomer Gabriel LaBelle, it's 87-year-old Judd Hirsch who steals the film in his five minutes on screen. Expect to see Hirsch take home the Best Supporting Oscar award in March. You read it here first.
5. Elvis
Who better than Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann to make a larger-than-life biopic that is worthy of the King of Rock and Roll? ELVIS is full of colour and razzmatazz, fabulous costumes, split-screens and graphics popping up all over the screen, and a bitching soundtrack. Relative unknown Austin Butler shows audiences what an immense talent Elvis was and what a huge star he's about to become. The young actor exudes early Brad Pitt-level charisma and it won't surprise me if he picks up an Oscar nomination for this performance.
No one is more surprised than me that this film would make it onto this list but TOP GUN: MAVERICK is 100% pure entertainment. A far more interesting story than the original TOP GUN was (it's certainly far less chauvinistic), MAVERICK soars high not just on its jaw-dropping aerial photography but on its reminder to all of us that Hollywood doesn't make stars like Tom Cruise anymore. This film is so well done that the Chinese pulled their own TOP GUN-ish movie right before it was scheduled to hit the cinemas there and sent it back to post-production for a reworking.
3. The Banshees of Inisherin
I haven't reviewed this film yet so you're not going to find it on my website for a few more weeks but I have seen it. Oscar-winning writer-director Martin McDonagh reunites with his IN BRUGES actors Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell for this story ostensibly about the end of a friendship between two best friends who live in a small town on a tiny island off the coast of Ireland in 1923. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN is about much more than Colm simply not liking Pádraic anymore though, as the sound of gunfire coming from the mainland hints. The pair, and especially Colm, give new meaning to cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. Both Gleeson and Farrell are excellent here and Farrell may even take home the Best Actor Oscar this year. Also fabulous are Kerry Condon, who plays Pádraic's long-suffering sister, and Barry Keoghan, who plays the village "gom". If anyone will be able steal the Best Supporting Actor Oscar out of Judd Hirsch's hands, it'll be him.
Another film that absolutely surprised me in a good way this year, EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is a wacky, mind-bending romp that mashes together action, adventure, comedy, science fiction, fantasy, martial arts and more. It's everything everywhere all at once. Michelle Yeoh leads the wonderfully game cast that includes Ke Huy Quan ("Short Round" from INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM), Stephanie Hsu (TV's THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL) and Jamie Lee Curtis, and it's hard to believe that Yeoh wasn't the directors' first choice to star. That honour went to Jackie Chan but he turned down the role and, when Yeoh accepted the offer, the Daniels rewrote the script with her in mind. She's definitely a shoo-in for a Best Actress Oscar nomination and I predict she'll win it too. If you haven't seen EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE yet and the multiverse concept isn't your thing, just let all your preconceptions go and enjoy it for what it is. At the end of the day, this is really just a story about acceptance.
1. RRR
Without a doubt, my favourite film of the year is this Indian epic from filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli, who already had a healthy track record for making hugely successful, big-budget films before this film came along. RRR landed on Netflix in May but it's only now that many people are hearing about it because it has ended up on so many critics' 2022 lists, and many of them, like me, have put the film at #1. The film, whose title stands for "Rise, Roar, Revolt" or "Rage, War, Blood" in the film's original language of Telugu, tells the fictional story of two real-life revolutionaries who each waged armed campaigns against British colonial rule in India in the 1920s and '30s. Though its doubtful that the two men ever met, in this story they not only meet, they become the best of friends. From the film's cold open, RRR is a spectacle to behold with one set piece after another more OTT than the last. Arguably the best part of the film is the obligatory song-and-dance number, a frenetic and infectious ditty called "Naatu Naatu", where the two men engage in a dance-off. The song has already made it onto Oscar's shortlist and anyone who has already seen the film is hoping beyond hope that it makes it to the finals so that we can see the two actors perform it live on stage in Hollywood.
And now, my Honourable Mentions (in alphabetical order):
A surprisingly entertaining horror film by first-time writer-director Zach Cregger. We need to see Justin Long in front of the camera more often.
Another solid performance from Aubrey Plaza, who proves once again that she's just as good at doing drama as she is at doing comedy.
Guilllermo del Toro's Pinocchio
The craft employed here is way beyond impressive but making it a musical was a huge fail.
Happening (L'événement)
Just as the US Supreme Court was undermining Roe v. Wade, this French film hit our screens and it couldn't have been timelier. As the French say, "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose."
I'm Your Man (Ich bin dein Mensch)
Though Dan Stevens is probably best known to audiences as DOWNTON ABBEY's Matthew Crawley, the actor continues to rack up one impressive comedy performance after another. Here, he plays a German-speaking robot who tries a bit too hard to be his owner's ideal mate.
As with THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN, I haven't reviewed TÁR yet so you're not going to find it on my website but I have seen it. If anyone is going to challenge Michelle Yeoh for the Best Actress Oscar, it's going to be Cate Blanchett for her performance here. The story, though, which echoes the career arcs of real-life maestros James Levine and Charles Dutoit, didn't resonate with me.
Daniel Radcliffe as the King of Musical Parodies? It sounds too bizarre to be true but the British actor embraces Weird Al's kookiness and this parody biopic is a hilarious winner.
This is another film I have seen but not yet reviewed. On the whole, I liked this film a lot (Viola Davis definitely earned her salary!), and the film's fight choreography and editing are both impressive, but the story left me wanting. A couple of scenes, in particular, disappointed me and if you've already seen the film, you probably know which ones they are.
The Worst Person in the World (Verdens verste menneske)
Nominated for two Oscars last year, this film only reached our cinemas last May. It features a flirting scene that is hotter than anything we've seen on the big screen in quite some time!
And now the films that I thought were either absolute rubbish or were terribly disappointing. At the top of the list is Morbius, which was so bad that I couldn't even bring myself to writing a review of it.
13: The Musical
Wandering (aka The Wandering Moon)/流浪の月

Dear Fifi: How do I talk to the mate I shifted?
DailyEdge's advice columnist Dear Fifi is back with some more sage advice and subtle smackdowns.
What's occurring? The relentless march of time has once more persisted and it's somehow Tuesday again – which, on the upside, means a brand new Dear Fifi column.
Last week's article was notable for three reasons. Firstly, I got my first piece of anonymous abuse. Secondly, I got an anonymous appeal to sell a lad a pair of my socks. (Which, no.) And thirdly, and to be honest by far most importantly, one of last week's letter-writers got back in touch to give us an update on her married boyfriend. Read the column here and her update right here. Life sure does come at you fast.
I really need your advice on how to handle/approach this guy I am seeing/sort of seeing. As you can see from my previous sentence, I myself am not sure. We met through our circle of friends three months back. We had a few small chats over Whatsapp. Every time we have seen each other, we would just eye each other from across the room. But last week everything changed.
Wow! At a function with our circle of friends he came and sat next to me and we started chatting. It was a meaningful chat. By the end of the night we had hands on each others legs and he brushed my back a few times with his hand. I felt like a teenager again. When I was leaving and was saying goodbye to all, I hugged him and as I walked away he pulled me back and he kissed me like I had never been kissed before. The next few days was magical, the texting, the feeling that we both wanted to see each other again. We enjoyed a night out together on the weekend, it was mind blowing.
4 days later it is like everything has gone, back to the way it was when first met. Help!
You have to ask him straight what's going on. A direct question, no ifs or buts – a question, by the way, you're completely entitled to ask at this stage in proceedings. There's no shame in asking for what you want. Consider it an insurance policy against potential months of missed signals and head-wrecking. Don't accept a vague reply either. He'll either respect your open communication or back away from it, and either way you've got your answer on how he feels about you.
But consider this. Not sending a message is sending a message. You have to prepare yourself for the potential outcome that he may not have felt or continued to feel the same way you do. On the one hand, he could be really busy or not realise that getting in touch was needed so soon. He might be waiting for you to make the first move. On the flipside, he could think things have fizzled and be choosing to ghost you. You won't know unless you ask, so ask you must.
But before you do craft that all important missive to test the waters… I'm going to say something here that might be a little out of line, but I feel honour-bound to you to say it.
These are all your own words. Maybe when said back to you, you can see they're a little full-on. Easy tiger. Are your feet on the ground? Make sure you're not rushing into anything or putting too much pressure on a budding relationship. There's nothing that'll extinguish a spark quicker than depriving it of air. Approach with caution and channel your inner Arctic breeze for a while.
Good luck with the text and good luck with the response. I really hope it works out!
So I don't find my girlfriend physically attractive any more. Yes she is still good looking but she doesn't turn me on anymore. I'd love if she changed her sense of dress, as she has moved away from being well put together to being slopped together with poor style.
It's getting me down and I keep checking out lots of different women now.
Break up with her. You'll get what you want, and I think she deserves better.

It's week three of our Rootabaga Subscription! This week we're introducing some sprouts from Greens of Haligonia to add a little something green and crunchy to the endlessroot vegetables available this time of year. We are using our sprouts for a Roasted Rainbow Beet Salad topped with sprouts, local goat cheese and maple balsamic vinaigrette.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Scrub beets to clean, trim stems. Place beets on a large piece of foil; drizzle with olive oil, then wrap foil around them to form a packet.
Place foil packet on a cookie sheet and place in oven for about an hour. To check if beets are cooked, insert a knife into the largest beet, if the knife enters easily, they are done. Unwrap foil packet and let beets rest until cool enough to handle. Use your hands or a paring knife to peel skin, then cut into ½-inch cubes.
For the vinaigrette, put all ingredients into a sealed container (I usually use a small mason jar) and shake until combined.
To assemble the salad toss the beets with about half of the vinaigrette and arrange on two plates, top the beets with sprouts and then drizzle the remaining vinaigrette, crumble goat cheese evenly on each salad. Serve.

STATESVILLE, N.C.– Front Row Motorsports will have two familiar faces behind the wheels of its racecars in 2017. Landon Cassill will return to the team and drive the No. 34 Ford after an impressive first season with the team in 2016. David Ragan, who drove for the Statesville-based organization from 2012 to 2015 and earned its first win, will rejoin the team to drive the No. 38 Ford.
The team will continue its technical alliance with Roush Fenway Racing and its engine program with Roush Yates Engines.
The 27-year-old Cassill earned seven top-20 finishes in his first season with Front Row. One of the series' steadiest and most reliable competitors, he completed 98 percent of the laps run and was the only premier series driver in 2016 to finish the season with just a single DNF (Did Not Finish). The Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native will enter his eighth year competing in NASCAR's premier series.
Ragan is a 10-year veteran of the series who made history for Front Row Motorsports in 2013 when he charged through the front of the field on the final lap to win at Talladega Superspeedway, sending owner Bob Jenkins and his team to Victory Lane for the first time. The 30-year-old Unadilla, Ga., native owns two premier series wins, 15 top-five and 36 top-10 finishes, and two poles.
"These are two hard-working guys, both in the car and away from the car working with our partners," Jenkins said. "We went out and got Landon last season because we knew he was talented and we wanted him in our racecar, and now we're really happy he will be back another year.
Despite a combined 17 years of experience, 2017 will be the first time Ragan and Cassill will be teammates.
"It's a nice homecoming, coming back to Front Row Motorsports," Ragan said. "I've always had a great deal of respect for Bob Jenkins, how he put together his team and grew it the right way over the years. We've celebrated some pretty big highlights together, and now we need to go make more.

Hologram technology is here and AT&T is just one of many companies utilizing the fast-growing technology created by Proto Inc. as it brings hologram technologies to users around the globe. As holograms have gained traction with consumers, businesses, and athletes, Proto has expanded into more than 35 countries worldwide to bring its technology mainstream.
Noah Rothstein, Head of Global Customer Development at Proto, gives an in-depth breakdown of the technology packed into these futuristic boxes.
"We have created a device that allows you to have a holographic illusion, pretty much with a single camera, anywhere in the world at any time. You can beam in as your hologram self and talk to people at any moment as if you are there. So we've done a bunch of different kinds of use cases. Were fully globally deployed in I'd say about 40 different countries.
Now we do things from some universities, where we beam in medical professors to give lectures to students. They're specialists in their field and they couldn't be there ordinarily, but they're able to beam in from Germany or beam in from Japan as if they're there and talk in real time to students and interact as we also have.
We've deployed this in many sports stadiums and arenas where fans are able to engage with athletes whether it's pre-recorded or live. They are able to take pictures with them. They're able to find out more about maybe them joining the team or, how they grew up playing the sport that they love.
We've done crazy stuff with NFT art galleries where people end up being the live animated NFT with motion capture, and they're able to interact as the animated character in real-time. We also recently did a major auction for Christie's. We've actually done a couple of them now. They, instead of shipping the priceless artifact from place to place, they were able to have these units in many different locations and get more eyeballs on a piece of art than they ever could. And they did that with a documentary sculpture that ended up selling for about 40 million that actually never left the facility and people didn't see it in person except for inside the device. It saved them all the travel costs, it saved them the insurance costs of that artifact, the security costs."

Auburn to start Sean White over Jeremy Johnson at QB
By Greg Ostendorf
After just three games, Auburnis making a change at quarterback, as coach Gus Malzahn on Tuesday announced that redshirt freshman Sean White would replace Jeremy Johnson on Saturday against Mississippi State.
"I feel like that's best for our offense right now," Malzahn said. "Sean White is a guy that has got a lot of reps. He's responded very well in practice, very well in scrimmages, and I just feel like he needs a shot right now. We've got a lot of confidence in him right now."
The change comes on the heels of Auburn's 45-21 loss to LSU, in which Johnson went 11-of-19 for 100 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Through three games, Johnson had thrown six interceptions and lost a fumble.
Johnson, who backed up Nick Marshall the past two years, won the starting job out of spring practice and had high expectations coming into this season.
"Jeremy's a competitor," Malzahn said. "He's a competitor, but he's a team guy, too. He'll support Sean. He'll get reps still in practice. And he'll be ready if he's called upon."
White, who arrived at Auburn before the 2014 season, has yet to take a snap for the Tigers. He was the Elite 11 MVP in 2013 as well as the MVP of the Under Armour All-American Game. As a senior at University School at Nova Southeastern in Fort Lauderdale, he threw for 2,679 yards and 30 touchdowns.
"It is a little surprising," Malzahn said of the change. "But at the same time, from a coach's standpoint, you've got to each week do what you feel like is best for your team and for your offense. That's where we're at. I'm looking forward to seeing Sean. He's a guy that can flat-out throw it. He can run it, too. He's got that little air of confidence that quarterbacks have."
Malzahn also said wide receivers Jonathan Wallace and Jason Smith could get some reps at quarterback this week. Wallace was a starter at quarterback for Auburn in 2012, and Smith played the position all last year in junior college.

Software as a service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet. Common examples are email, calendaring and office tools (such as Microsoft Office 365).
SaaS provides a complete software solution which you purchase on a pay-as-you-go basis from a cloud service provider. You rent the use of an app for your organisation and your users connect to it over the Internet, usually with a web browser. All of the underlying infrastructure, middleware, app software and app data are located in the service provider's data center. The service provider manages the hardware and software and with the appropriate service agreement, will ensure the availability and the security of the app and your data as well. SaaS allows your organisation to get quickly up and running with an app at minimal upfront cost.
If you have used a web-based email service such as Outlook, Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail, then you have already used a form of SaaS. With these services, you log into your account over the Internet, often from a web browser. The email software is located on the service provider's network and your messages are stored there as well. You can access your email and stored messages from a web browser on any computer or Internet-connected device.
The previous examples are free services for personal use. For organisational use, you can rent productivity apps, such as email, collaboration and calendaring; and sophisticated business applications such as customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and document management. You pay for the use of these apps by subscription or according to the level of use.
Gain access to sophisticated applications. To provide SaaS apps to users, you don't need to purchase, install, update or maintain any hardware, middleware or software. SaaS makes even sophisticated enterprise applications, such as ERP and CRM, affordable for organisations that lack the resources to buy, deploy and manage the required infrastructure and software themselves.
Pay only for what you use. You also save money because the SaaS service automatically scales up and down according to the level of usage.
Use free client software. Users can run most SaaS apps directly from their web browser without needing to download and install any software, although some apps require plugins. This means that you don't need to purchase and install special software for your users.
Mobilise your workforce easily. SaaS makes it easy to "mobilise" your workforce because users can access SaaS apps and data from any Internet-connected computer or mobile device. You don't need to worry about developing apps to run on different types of computers and devices because the service provider has already done so. In addition, you don't need to bring special expertise onboard to manage the security issues inherent in mobile computing. A carefully chosen service provider will ensure the security of your data, regardless of the type of device consuming it.
Access app data from anywhere. With data stored in the cloud, users can access their information from any Internet-connected computer or mobile device. And when app data is stored in the cloud, no data is lost if a user's computer or device fails.

The FAA has issued the first revision to FAA-H-8083-3A in 12 years. The updated handbook is the initial effort to align the basic pilot training material with the new Airman Certification Standard (ACS) as well as incorporate the latest material in risk management, human factors and aircraft automation and electronic flight displays.
Chapter 4 Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training. This Chapter was previously titled "Slow Flight, Stalls and Spins." It includes new definitions related to slow flight and stalls as well as introduces term and topics of " Loss of Control" and "Upset" and set of pitch and bank parameters to define an aircraft "Upset". All of these changes have filtered down for several high-profile transport aircraft accidents over the last decade.
All club pilots are strongly encouraged to download a copy of the handbook and do at least a casual review while paying particular attention to Chapter 4 as it requires a revision to checkride and Flight Review maneuvers.

Recently, I took a cruise aboard Norwegian Star from Venice, Italy. If you're not caught up, read my five first impressions of the ship here. We were able to spend a few days in Venice after disembarking, and I had the idea to take some long exposure nighttime shots on our very last evening. I'm not a professional photographer by any means, and things like long exposure are always trial and error for me. I just love how much more light it lets in, making things look so sparkly and romantic.
So, as to not keep all my photos to myself, I decided to share a few pictures from that evening. I hope you enjoy them.
I had to get a cannoli in Italy, and surprisingly they were not around every corner like I thought they would be. I had almost given up hope on that last night, but we ended up coming across a delicious one with orange zest and chocolate chips in it – I loved the extra kick of flavor that the citrus provided!
Continue to check back for more posts about the Norwegian Star cruise from Venice. We've got more on the ship, the food, and the excursions. I hope you're enjoying seeing a peek into this trip – maybe it'll inspire you to visit some of the same places someday!

The character and spirit of Wolves' promotion winning side of 2003 came to the fore against Reading in the May, when Dave Jones' side dramatically came from behind to provide a crucial dose of momentum.
The Play-Off Semi-Final first leg looked to be going the way of the Royals at Molineux after Nicky Forster had put them in front during the opening half.
However, this Wolves side had guts and determination and, despite not being at their best, two late goals would change the complexion of the tie completely.
First, Shaun Newton crashed in an equaliser, via a Graeme Murty deflection, before Lee Naylor's drilled free-kick flew past Marcus Hahnemann to send Molineux delirious.
It provided just the impetus Wolves needed and they'd complete the job the following Wednesday, with Alex Rae bagging the only goal at the Madejski Stadium to set up a memorable afternoon at the Millennium Stadium.
The matchday programme from that crucial first leg at Molineux is part of the vast array of memorabilia available for supporters to view at the Wolves Museum.

Cognitive Therapy – Also known as psychotherapy, this treatment helps train patients to change their behavior and negative responses associated with depression. Psychotherapy can help educate women regarding potential symptoms. This can help women to deal with these symptoms when they happen.
Medication – Antidepressants are the typical drug of choice for depression. This type of medication works to regulate chemicals in the brain, known as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. Research has shown that these chemicals are responsible for regulating mood.


For my last blog post, I want to share a graph of the data I processed over the summer. As I have mentioned in previous blog posts, I have been taking water samples every month from three locations along the Crim Dell Creek and creating viral concentrates with them.
Marine ecosystems have been a focal point for microbial ecology studies. Over two decades of research in the global ocean has revealed important roles of viruses in marine ecosystems, from controlling host populations, to influencing how nutrients cycle within marine food webs, to influencing host evolution through gene transfer. In comparison, much less is known about the roles of viruses in freshwater systems. Streams are incredibly important to global ecology as a huge site of carbon cycling as well as a place where ecosystems are connected and integrated. And unlike the ocean, many freshwaters have complex connections with terrestrial watersheds, which can also influence virus dynamics in these systems. Understanding the impacts of viruses in freshwater microbial communities is the next important challenge in this field of research.


For the love of the game and inspiring youth at risk - volunteer your skills and time to underprivileged children and help them develop their love for the game into a meaningful journey to rediscovering themselves. It is said that sport is a tool to unite the hearts and minds of a nation and to overcome borders and issues of race and religion. Let's find out!
Volunteers will work in conjunction with the project coaches using soccer as a tool to create focus, drive and dedication in our vulnerable and impressionable youths who often come from an underprivileged background. Volunteers and coaches help with identifying and mentoring the youngsters in the local community - to a better life.
The project is based at Wingfield Primary School. This is where all the Under-7 and Under-9 school teams gather every Wednesday to play their league matches. Volunteers/Coaches also meet here to plan the weekly matches and coaching itinerarys at some of the schools.
Volunteers will be working with children at primary school level between the ages of 7-14. Different games and sports are played alongside soccer, like hockey, so if you're enthusiastic about any kind of sport you're welcome, it's not only for soccer experts.
- Being a positive influence to young people and helping them to make important life decisions.
This project is closed during the South African school holidays.
However, if there are holiday camps running, there will be work during the school holiday periods. Just contact your travel advisor who can check this for you.
- Intermediate English. You must be able to understand enough English to follow instructions and communicate with the youth.
- A You2Africa shuttle (door to door from host family/volunteer house direct to project) is included in the price.


We've all digitally stalked hiring managers before: followed them on Twitter, sent a Facebook friend request, liked their Instagram photos, Highlighted them, sent an InMail. But, does it actually work, and how do hiring managers perceive this? There is also that awkward moment when you have a digital-turned-#IRL run-in with a hiring manager you've been creeping on. Should you introduce yourself as your alter ego, tinyrobots512, or pretend you don't know them, or should you spew out all of their recent tweets to prove your interest? What is appropriate, and do they even care about tinyrobots512? Justin Gignac, Co-founder of WorkingNotWorking.com, and I discussed how to build an irresistible digital persona – one that transcends digital relationships into jobs and new hires #IRL.

Rabuka elected as Leader of Opposition
Home / Rabuka elected as Leader of Opposition
Former Prime Minister and SODELPA Leader Sitiveni Rabuka has been elected as the Leader of the Opposition.
Former Opposition Leader Ro Teimumu Kepa nominated Rabuka for the post while the National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad seconded the motion.
Following the appointment of the leader of opposition, government made a motion to adopt the Parliamentary Standing Orders.
The Leader of Opposition Sitiveni Rabuka led the opposition's charge in opposing the adoption of the Parliamentary Standing Orders as it stands, after it was moved by Minister for Defence and National Security, Inia Seruiratu.
The Standing Orders lays out the rules for the order and conduct of business and proceedings of parliament.
"We have just taken our oath and we said this morning in our oath that we will defend the rights of the people. One feature of the standing order being presented for us to adopt is the absence of the night of the people to present efficiency into the house as is the normal practice of democracy." – Leader of Opposition Sitiveni Rabuka
Opposition member Niko Nawaikula backed his leader stating it would be totally wrong to be supporting the adoption of the standing orders in the shape and form as it is.
Minister for Infrastructure Jone Usamate fired back saying the opposition is misleading the people as they did during the election campaign period.
"It's a shame that at the beginning of this new parliamentary session we are already starting with this mistrusts trying to represent what happens in parliament is not being democratic. Section 37 clearly states that there is a procedure for petitions to be allowed to be addressed." Minister for Infrastructure Jone Usamate.
The motion was passed in parliament with 26 MPs supporting the motion and 21 MPs voting against it. Four MPs did not vote on the motion.

Q: What is the need for bubbles and composed in lwc I'm studying LWC Events and came across bubbles and composed. I'm not able to understand the need for both..
Let's consider two components 'Component A' && 'Component B', A is the parent here.
From my understanding, for whatever event happens in component B:

*

*bubbles is used to allow event bubble up through the the DOM, so ideally if I set bubbles as true, it'd not allow event propagation outside of Component B.

*If I set composed as true, it allows the parent component to listen to the event as well.
However, the 2nd point can be achieved even by using the customevent() on event target by dispatching event which can then be listened by the parent component.
And, the first point, where events are bubbled only inside the component where the event occurred. Now, whatever we want to do once event occurs, why do we even need to bubble it? we can achieve any functionality within the same component without even bubbling it.. Can't we?
Can someone please help me understand why we really need bubbles and composed, not able to understand much from documentation.
Can someone please explain this concept using an example?

A: The documentation contains clear examples of each. It helps to have a more complicated example to work with. If you only think in terms of A and B, the other models have no meaning (and thus, would seem pointless). You need at least 3 levels of nested components to see any meaning at all.
parent-component
<template>
  <div onnotify={handleOuterNotify}>
    <c-my-component onnotify={handleInnerNotify}>
    </c-my-component>
  </div>
</template>

my-component
<template>
  <c-another-component />
</template>

bubbles = false, composed = false
A notify event from c-my-component will only fire handleInnerNotify.
bubbles = true, composed = false
A notify event from c-my-component will fire handleOuterNotify and handleInnerNotify; this allows you to place event handlers on ancestors of the source.
bubbles = true, composed = true
When c-another-component fires a notify event, both handleInnerNotify and handleOuterNotify will fire, even though the default configuration would have been stopped at the c-my-component boundary.
As you can see, they are increasing levels of effect. Almost all events should use the default configuration. This is perfectly sane and usually desirable. Bubbling is less common, but may be useful if you want to have HTML-like DOM behavior (such as handling an onclick on a parent element). The final configuration is definitely a very rare use case (I can't think of a good example), but it's there if you absolutely needed something that behaved something like an "application event" in Aura terminology but coudln't use pubsub (the recommended choice for directed events).
You'll notice I left out bubbles = false, composed = true. This configuration isn't supported and therefore has undefined behavior.

Edit: Added an example script.


QUARRYVILLE, LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. --Solanco High School was evacuated Wednesday after the school district received a bomb threat, according to a post on the district's webpage.
The high school is located along the 500 block of Solanco Road in Quarryville. Students and faculty have returned to the high school after an "all clear" was given by Pennsylvania State Police shortly before 2 p.m.
School administrators say students will be dismissed at regular time.
Today there was general "bomb threat" note discovered at Solanco High School. Students and staff at the high school were evacuated, police were called, and parents were notified by Solanco App, Solanco website, Solanco Facebook page, and phone notification system.
Students were evacuated by bus to Smith and Swift middle schools.
State Police conducted a search of the building and cleared students to return. Students were returned to Solanco High School by bus.
Our procedures for student safety are very clear and direct. I want to commend our students for their response during this situation—they were tremendous. I also want to commend the faculty and staff for executing our safety plan and offer thanks to the police and other emergency responders.
We know how stressful events like this can be for parents. We share this frustration and will address the situation aggressively. We will fully investigate this matter. Please know we take all threats seriously and when we first learn of a threat our first response is student safety—evacuations, police notification, student accounting, etc.
We are grateful for your understanding and patience as we work to ensure student safety.
FOX43 News will update this page as more information becomes available.
