Archer: "Achub Y Morfilod"
Caroline Framke
ArcherSeason 6
"Achub Y Morfilod"
The best part of "Achub Y Morfilod" is the story credit: "Story Inspired From A Rousing Tale By: Matthew Rhys." The Americans star also appears in the episode, thanks to the drunken night with Adam Reed and Matt Thompson that included the "rousing tale" in the first place (as Reed tells it, drunken nights is when Archer nabs most of its guest stars, which feels exactly right). Rhys' story of Welsh separatists hiding out from MI-5 even allows him to use his own Welsh accent, which can't be an opportunity that comes around very often. He is a game guest star who relishes the chance to poke fun at himself, especially when his character—who looks so much like him—has to pretend to be an American. Exactly no one is convinced when he sputters, "Wales is kickass!"
The problem with "Achub Y Morfilod," though, is that the best part is the story credit. While I have no doubt that Rhys is an enigmatic storyteller, the script from Reed and Mike Arnold has trouble making his tale fit into Archer's world, which…is surprising. "Welsh separatists run from MI-5" should be the Archer equivalent of a layup, and yet Archer and Lana's latest fight muddles the story so much that the end result is less rousing than underwhelming.
We start off mere hours after where we left off, which comes as a bit of a surprise. Archer has become more and more serialized with every passing season, but since lst week was a "literal farce," it seemed like Lana finding Katya's vagina in the sink wouldn't last beyond the winking smash to credits. But the show proves it doesn't want to make Archer and Lana's new relationship easy when it picks up with Lana waking up in the backseat of a car, wondering where in the hell she is and where they left off in their fight, which is, in fact, a substantial fight. While I appreciate that the show takes their first fight as a new couple seriously enough to continue into the next episode, Archer whisking Lana off to Wales against her will starts the episode off on a sour note that never quite goes away.
Yes, Archer acknowledges how deeply fucked up it was to drug Lana, dress her in lingerie, and drag her unconscious body across the Atlantic Ocean, but that doesn't make it any less fucked up. One of this show's strongest suits is how it constantly balances on a tightrope between offensive material and jokes that just don't give a shit, but this latest stunt is jarringly crass even for Archer. Self-awareness isn't a panacea for disturbing subject matter, and so by the time Archer explains that Lana was "hysterical" and that he would "never use drugs for sexual assault-y reasons" because he "never need[s] to," Lana choking him off the road is the least he deserves.
This whole conversation frankly made it difficult for me to get into the spirit of "Achub Y Morfilod," despite Rhys' best efforts. Archer and Lana spend the entire episode bickering and testing each other's loyalties through increasingly exhausting tests. When MI-5 comes around to arrest Rhys' Welsh separatist and his giant of a brother, Lana orders Archer into hiding so she can make a move on Rhys out of spite. On one hand, this makes Lana seem like she's more willing to stoop to Archer's level than she has in recent seasons, and Aisha Tyler is very good at making Lana's voice a seductive purr on a dime. On the other, Archer and Lana's back and forth in this episode just isn't particularly interesting. It's basic "married couple" bickering—exactly what Cyril and company were afraid of when Lana and Archer got together.
There are still fun parts of "Achub Y Morfilod," because Archer and Lana arguing still has its acerbic charms, but keeping them confined to the "romantic" Welsh house keeps their conflict particularly claustrophobic. It also doesn't help that the "idiots" (Archer's words) are back to being an afterthought of a runner. There is a brief Malory reemergence, in which she feed baby A.J. ice chips from her Tom Collins and scoffs at her granddaughter's inexcusable weight gain. Otherwise, any involvement from people outside Lana and Archer Krieger (and/or his clone) gets to work giving Ray a robotic hand while Cyril, Pam, and Cheryl recite the Wikipedia page for M.A.S.H. and make gratuitous hand puns. Granted, the hand puns make for one of the better joke runs in the episode, especially when the snappy repartee between Krieger and Cheryl gets going. But while an episode like "The Kanes" had enough meat in the A-plot to distract from the lack of any significant B-plot, Lana and Archer's flat fights in "Achub Y Morfilod" make the episode feel just as muddled as its title.
So Ray's new hand is definitely Conway Stern's, right?
For a second there, the all-consonant Welsh signs confused me as to whether Archer was in Wales or if Archer was just driving super drunk.
"There was a black character in M.A.S.H. And his name was Spearchucker Jones."
"Well, the surprise is ruined." "No it's not. I'm extremely surprised."

Considering that this is my second post regarding Gok Wan within a week, it may surprise you to know that I'm not actually a huge fan of his. I never really watched his shows and I disliked the way that he constantly referred to himself last year at the Cabot Circus fashion show which is what the majority of my opinion has been formed on. However at the filming of Gok's Fashion Roadshow recently, he was much more charming and less self abusive, and has now come up with a range of clothes which are pretty gorgeous. Well, I think so.
Sainsburys has been a bit slack on the clothes front – while many of us wear clothes from George at Asda or Clothing at Tesco, I honestly can't remember the last time I noticed a blog mentioning the Tu range. I popped over to our local branch at lunch to see what was there – some of the below items were, some weren't.
The "Ultimate Wrap Dress" (£40) is a long dress – I saw this in store, and liked how the "sculpting slip" inside seemed to be detachable for use under other dresses. The store had the red, black and floral versions of this, my favourite was probably the black, then the red. I wasn't keen on the floral one, it was quite a small, dark, fussy sort of print, not my style at all.
I liked the reversible kimono (£30) (I didn't actually realise it was reversible when I saw it in-store!) and the sheer shirt (£25) (I like how the shirt comes with a slip – its so annoying when you buy something sheer and it doesn't come with something underneath, I'm not brave enough to go without!) The Palazzo pant (£30) looks great in both of these images, but I wasn't keen on the actual material – they would be one of those items in your wardrobe that are too fussy to wash and iron, and I'm very lazy.
I didn't get a good look at the "perfect fit pants" (£25) but they are described as the ultimate figure-flatterers. The swing tux (£35) was probably my favourite out of all of the pieces there, although the cropped length isn't something I'd usually go for.
On the whole, I liked the items of the range that were in my local branch, but I think that some of the items need to be seen in person – from the images, I liked the palazzo pants, but I'm not sure now!

Q: Web scraping in Selenium in Python - find elements via xpath or id return empty list So I am trying to scrape a list of email addresses from my User Explorer page in Google Analytics.
which
I obtained the x-path via here
The item's X-path is //*[@id="ID-explorer-table-dataTable-key-0-0"]/div
But no matter how I do:
driver.find_elements_by_xpath(`//*[@id="ID-explorer-table-dataTable-key-0-0"]/div`)

or
driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="ID-reportContainer"]')

or
driver.find_elements_by_id(r"ID-explorer-table-dataTable-key-0-0")

it returns an empty list.
Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong?
I also tried using:
html = driver.page_source

but of course I couldnt find the list of the emails as well.
I am also thinking, if this doesnt work, whether there is a way I can automate control + a and copy all the text displayed into a string in Python and then usere.findall() to find the email addresses?

A: email = driver.find_element_by_xpath(//*[@id="ID-explorer-table-dataTable-key-0-0"]/div)
print("email", email.get_attribute("innerHTML"))

A: Thanks for the help of @Guy!
It was something related to iframe and this worked and detected which frame the item i need belong to:
iframelist=driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('iframe')
for i in range(len(iframelist)):
    driver.switch_to.frame(iframelist[i])

Actress Jurnee Smollett Plays Race Card in Call to 'Free Jussie' — 'Stop Locking Up Our People'
Jussie Smollett's sister, actress Jurnee Smollett, is calling for Cook County to "#FreeJussie" following her brother's sentencing Thursday, telling her followers they should advocate for his release — because of disparate incarceration between black and white Americans — even if they believe he is guilty.
Jurnee Smollett's call for Cook County to "#FreeJussie" comes after her brother was sentenced to 150 days in jail for staging a fake hate crime against himself in January 2019.
"Black Americans are incarcerated in state prisons at nearly five times the rate of White Americans," she wrote in her Instagram caption. "Jussie is innocent. And… you don't have to believe in his innocence to believe he should be free."
The actress included the hashtags "Free Jussie" and "Stop Locking Up Our People."
In January 2019, Smollett had claimed he was physically attacked by two men wearing red hats who put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him, and shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him, before eventually yelling, "This is MAGA country!" in reference to former President Donald Trump's campaign slogan.
On Thursday, Judge James Linn sentenced Smollett to 150 days in jail, 30 months of probation, restitution of $120,106, and a fine of $25,000.
"You're just a charlatan, pretending to be a victim of a hate crime," Judge Linn told Smollett during Thursday's sentencing, adding that the actor's "very name has become an adverb for 'lying.'"
"Your performance on the witness stand, this can only be described as pure perjury," the judge added. "You committed hour upon hour upon hour of pure perjury."
Smollett is now a convicted felon.
The actor repeatedly shouted, "I am not suicidal, and I am innocent" as he was being hauled off to jail on Thursday.
On Saturday, Smollett's brother Jocqui Smollett revealed that the actor has been placed in a psych ward at the Cook County jail.

About Norwich Electronic Organ and Keyboard Club
Hi and welcome to the Norwich Organists Club, or actually our new name THE NORWICH ELECTRONIC ORGAN & KEYBOARD CLUB. As a club we have been around for over 40 years but like a lot of clubs have had a few hard times in the past few years. However in 2010 we moved from the Royal British Legion premises to a lovely new venue at Drayton Village Hall and our numbers have been steadily increasing ever since. The hall is situated next to the Drayton Red Lion Pub on the A1067 road out of Nowich, it's about 3 miles out from Asda.
We always meet on the last Tuesday of the month starting at 7.30pm and to encourage new members we only charge £6 on the door with no additional membership fee to pay. We are a friendly bunch and just want you to come and join us for a light hearted evening of excellent music and entertainment provided by one of the many leading professional organists this country has to offer, occasionally we have organists from further afield too! We welcome visitors from other clubs and all interested newcomers to our musical evenings.
As you will see from the concert list below we have some very good players lined up for you. So do come if you can, and if it's your first time please look me up (Martin, I'm the chairman) and lets have a mardle (sorry that's Norfolk for a chat).
Do come and join us - we are very friendly, our evenings are entertaining and varied, it's well worth £6.00 and you get tea or coffee with biscuits as well!
Club News!
Our vibrant and friendly club has been in existence since 1972 and has been mostly successful, with monthly concerts by top visiting organists watched by a good crowd of enthusiasts. Hammond and jazz organ, traditional theatre style organ, modern orchestral arrangements and good old straight (electronic) piano playing – singing too – all have their place at our meetings.
However, a few years ago there had been a declining membership over a period of time, and ahead of the AGM in January 2010 the committee had regretfully agreed that the club would probably have to close due to lack of funds. Some staunch club members were reluctant to let this happen and amongst the suggestions to save the club was to try a change of venue. The idea of holding the club meetings at a village hall just outside of Norwich was put forward, so with support and encouragement from the members, barely any money in the kitty and no organists booked for the coming year the committee decided to make some changes and take a complete leap of faith.
Moving from an area close to the centre of the city the club re-opened in March 2010 at Drayton Village Hall on the west side of Norwich, a venue which suits us perfectly – size, location, parking in the close vicinity, and a more affordable hall rent. Some organists had been told of the club's struggle and kindly agreed to 'bend their fee slightly' and came to play at very short notice during those first few wobbly months. Loyal members came along bringing their friends with them and because the hall is at the convergence of 4 large residential areas and quite a few surrounding villages, word soon got around locally that 'The Organ Club is a good night out' and it all started to gather pace again.
That initial local reaction was an indication that perhaps all was not lost and we were encouraged by the many new faces that were turning up each month. Previously we had an annual subscription but in order to encourage everybody to come along and discover what we are all about we decided to scrap that and now designate £1.00 from their first entrance fee each year as membership of the club; this way nobody feels they would be 'losing money' if they can't get to every meeting due to the weather or health issues etc., which is especially relevant for those members who live several miles away.
To help us along the way, several local parish magazines were approached and now give us space each month to write a review of our previous concert plus a photo and some background information of our next organist, effectively giving us free advertising of our presence to young and old alike - some of these magazines are delivered free to every home, doctor's surgery, library etc. in the parish.
Posters of the club are displayed in our local music shop and on our own notice board at the hall, plus posters and flyers are available on concert nights for anybody to take away and pin up wherever they feel is appropriate, or pass on to their friends. All members have a wallet-size membership card with the organists listed for the year so they know exactly what is happening. Added to that, a free ad on the local radio station and in the 'What's On' page of the local Evening News gets our name out to the greater Norwich area and of course our page on OrganFax tells the whole world about us!
Six years on and the club is thriving again, even the raffle table offers better prizes and consequently brings in more revenue! A warm welcome greets everybody, we keep the atmosphere light-hearted and humorous and with the monthly succession of top organists and new names on the circuit providing an excellent variety of music, the audience numbers have swelled to near capacity at times; in addition to our members of many years we now have a whole new set of enthusiasts, not only those who were already aware of the 'organ scene' but also others who are converted to our hobby.
So, financially the club is secure for now - for some time we have been able to confidently fill our diary a couple of years ahead, including a duet concert once a year as a treat for all our supporters and visitors - but we shouldn't become complacent. Membership numbers are good but the average age of our audience is not as young as it has been, plus committee members are hard to come by! Bums on seats and people able and willing to give up some of their time to organise the club are two necessities that have put the money back in the bank, but without both of these commodities the funds would be redundant unfortunately. Are we one of the lucky clubs that have managed to keep going? Yes, I think we are to a certain extent but there has also been a lot of thought, discussion and time spent getting to where we are today. The present committee work well together, meeting the following week after each concert. Obviously we don't please everybody all the time so we take all comments - good and bad - seriously and try to react accordingly.
So, the changes we made plus the leap of faith have both paid off. As to the future? Well who knows, but we have our fingers crossed that the UK organ circuit drives in the right direction because Norwich Organ and Keyboard Club is very firmly pinned on the map!

Биография
Владимир Арустамович Епископосян родился 21 января 1950 года в Ереване. Во время учёбы на юридическом факультете Ереванского университета снялся в главной роли в фильме «Ахтамар» (студия Арменфильм). Затем окончил актёрское отделение Ереванского художественно-театрального училища и поступил на работу в Ереванский русский драматический театр имени Константина Станиславского. Дебют на сцене — Медведь в пьесе Евгения Шварца «Два клёна». Мастер спорта по баскетболу. На театральной сцене играет до сих пор, в настоящее время — актёр Московского театра «Буфф».

Одна из первых ролей в кино — в фильме Бориса Дурова «Пираты XX века» (1980). Всего же на счету актёра — более 110 киноработ. Благодаря фактурной внешности Владимиру Епископосяну доставались в кино главным образом роли бандитов и отрицательных персонажей. Однако он сыграл также и заглавного героя в «Дон Жуане» (1987) Йонаса Вайткуса, эмира в исторической ленте «Бейбарс» (1989) Б. Мансурова. Актёра также приглашали сниматься в различных телесериалах («Маросейка, 12», «Что сказал покойник»).

Юмористические роли получил в фильме «Семь дней с русской красавицей», где сыграл негра из Эфиопии, и в комедии «На Дерибасовской хорошая погода, или На Брайтон-Бич опять идут дожди», где выступил в роли охранника казино.

Известен как «главный труп российского экрана». По подсчётам самого Епископосяна, его персонажи умирали в 50 из 112 фильмов, в которых он играл. Автор нескольких сценариев и сборников автобиографических новелл «Главный труп России» и «Новеллы главного бандита».

Laziness: it's one of life's little pleasures. Sometimes there's just no better feeling in the world than shirking all responsibilities and watching the same bad episode of the same bad TV show for the thousandth time while the world outside carries on without you. You have to be careful though, because a little too much laziness not only wrecks your wallet and your respectability among your peers, but it also, apparently, ends entire human species. Scientists are now claiming that our ancient cousins Homo erectus—a hominid species in the early stone age that lived throughout Africa and Eurasia—went extinct some 140,000 years ago due to laziness and a "lack of wonder," which ultimately lead to their inability to adapt to a changing environment and the end of their species.
'To make their stone tools they would use whatever rocks they could find lying around their camp, which were mostly of comparatively low quality to what later stone tool makers used. At the site we looked at there was a big rocky outcrop of quality stone just a short distance away up a small hill. But rather than walk up the hill they would just use whatever bits had rolled down and were lying at the bottom.
This is in contrast to Homo sapiens and Neanderthals who would travel across huge distances, climb mountains, and put just a little bit of effort into finding good stone. Homo erectus, as a species, didn't want to walk up a hill.
Drawing of early stone tools.
Maybe it still isn't fair to rag on an entire species like this, they're not here to defend themselves, after all. Because they couldn't be bothered to survive. So, the next time you see someone shirking their responsibilities and putting in the least effort possible just tell them that they're a walking, talking, extinction level event.


Today We are working to make health care better, less complicated and more affordable for North Carolinians. And we'll do it again tomorrow.
When I joined Blue Cross NC in 2017, I became part of an organization that has spent the past 85 years working to make health care in North Carolina better, more accessible and more affordable. We've come a long way since 1933, but health care is unaffordable for far too many North Carolinians, and quality is uneven. It's time to pick up the pace of change—and Blue Cross NC is committed to leading the way by driving better quality and outcomes, lowering costs, delivering a best-in-class experience and being a model health plan for our nation.
Today, we are sharing with you the big and small things we do each day to fight for affordability, simplify the complexities in our health care system and make our state healthier. Sometimes progress means an investment in the future. Sometimes it means learning from our mistakes and finding ways to do things better. Sometimes it means simply taking a closer look at a challenge, so we can better understand how to address it. Our goal is to be the best at getting better—every day, week, month, year, and for decades to come to serve our customers.
Every day, we come to work with one goal: to lead the transformation of the health system in our state. It won't happen overnight, but I believe it will happen. I hope Today We not only allows you to follow this journey but inspires you to be part of it. Together we can impact and transform the health care system for all North Carolinians.
Making health care affordable for all North Carolinians is our number one priority. Here are the ways we are helping lower costs and improve care.
People want a health care system that makes it easy for them to make smart, informed choices. Here's what we're doing to make that a reality.
Healthier communities lead to lower health care costs for everyone. See how we're working to create a healthier state.

A new generation of property entrepreneurs is emerging in Cape Town's townships. They have seen a gap in the property market for low-cost rental accommodation, and have seized the opportunity by building solid bricks-and-mortar developments offering affordable micro-units.
Developments can include up to 10 units, are often double-storey, and vary in size from about 10m² to about 40m². Rents range between R1?500 and R3?000.
"Call it backyarding version 2.0, in that it is bricks and mortar, the accommodation is legal, safe (built according to approved plans) and affordable," says Zama Mgwatyu, a project manager at the Development Action Group (DAG), an NGO with more than 30 years experience in urban governance, housing and community organising.
After declining in the first quarter of 2018 from late last year, the level of positive sentiment regarding conditions in the South African residential property market dropped somewhat further in the second quarter of the year.
Positive factors: Property is a secure asset (36%) and still increases in value (22%).
Negative factors: The land reform issue causes uncertainty regarding property as an investment (25%), with some political uncertainty still prevailing (25%).

Comic Creator René Pétillon
René Pétillon
(12 December 1945 - 30 September 2018, France)
'Jack Palmer'.
René Pétillon was part of the new wave of comic artists who emerged in the adult-oriented French comic scene of the 1970s. His satirical cartoons have appeared in both serious and more provocative magazines, most notably L'Écho des Savanes, VSD and Le Canard Enchaîné, while in comics circles he is best-known for creating the bumbling private investigator 'Jack Palmer' (1974-2013).
Comic strip collected in the album 'On Aura Tout Vu' (1999).
Pétillon was born in 1945 in Lesneven in the Breton department of Finistère. His parents were both bakers. With no formal art training, the young man published his first drawings in Jacques Bergier and Louis Pauwels' fantastic realism magazine Planète in 1968. He continued his activities as an illustrator/ cartoonist for magazines like Plexus, L'Enragé, Week-End, Vingt Ans and Penthouse, before switching to comics in 1972.
In 1972 Pétillon published his first short story, 'Voir Naples et Mourir', in Pilote. Together with Enki Bilal, Annie Goetzinger, Jean Solé and Max Cabanes, Pétillon was part of a new group of authors who had to revive Pilote after the departure of staples like Nikita Mandryka, Gotlib, Claire Brétécher, Jean-Marc Reiser and Cabu. He became a regular in the magazine's pages from 1974 on.
Jack Palmer #1 - 'Une Sacrée Salade'.
Jack Palmer
In issue #742 (24 January 1974) of Pilote, Pétillon introduced his signature series 'Jack Palmer'. Jack Palmer, also referred to as simply Palmer, is a tiny private investigator, dressed in an oversized trenchcoat and hat, and armed with merely a plastic bag of budget textile company Tati. Whereas most detectives actually solve mysteries, Palmer only seems to complicate his own investigations before finally bringing them to a good end. Pétillon constructed an absurd parody of the detective genre, popularized in the 1970s by various TV detectives, such as Columbo, played by Peter Falk. Largely inspired by the humor of MAD Magazine and the Marx Brothers, the cartoonist offered satirical commentary on politics, the media, the mob and jet set life, while also mocking his protagonist's fictional colleagues Sherlock Holmes and Arsène Lupin. Palmer's publication history seems to be as confusing as his investigations. By 1976 the strip disappeared from Pilote, finding a new spot in the satirical comic magazine L'Écho des Savanes, only to return in Pilote in 1982 and then move back to L'Écho des Savanes in 1989. From 1987 onwards, one-page gags also appeared in Charlie Hebdo magazine and subsequently the weekly news magazine VSD, while a new story was prepublished in Le Canard Enchaîné in 2009. In the meantime, the series also made appearances in B.D. and Télérama. Book collections were published by Éditions du Fromage, Albin Michel, Dargaud and then Albin Michel again.
The 12th album, 'L'Enquête Corse' (2000), won the Alph-Art prize for Best French comics album during the 2001 Angoulême comic festival. It deals with the "independentist" groups on the isle of Corsica, and received much critical acclaim. A Corsican edition was published with a translation by Francescu-Maria Perfettini, while Alain Berbérian (brother of comic artist Charles Berberian) made a movie adaptation starring Christian Clavier and the unlucky detective. The film premiered in 2004. Pétillon gave his satirical view on Muslim fundamentalism in 'L'Affaire du Voile' (2006), of which an Arabic edition was also published. The fact that Pétillon's humor was never vulgar probably explains why only one single imam in Switzerland deemed the book offensive. For the final 'Palmer' album published during his author's lifetime, the clueless sleuth was sent to Brittany (Bretagne), the region where Pétillon was born. Naturally, editions of 'Palmer en Bretagne' (2013) also appeared in a Breton and Gallo dialect version.
'Docteur Miracle', from Pilote #744 (7 February 1974). Translation: "Ah, well, no, me [go to] Dr. Miracle, I lack the confidence. I stay loyal to Dr. Komb..." - "Cough..." - "If you don't come to Dr. Miracle, Dr. Miracle comes to you...".
Docteur Miracle and other short comics
In addition to his main series, Pétillon published several gag strips in Pilote about the amazingly efficient doctor Miracle ('Docteur Miracle') in 1974. He drew 'Le Chien des Basketville' (1975-1976) in L'Écho des Savanes, and ventured into science fantasy with several short stories published in Métal Hurlant and Pilote from 1976 onwards. These were later collected in the albums 'Les Carottes Sont Cuites' (Les Humanoïdes Associés, 1980) and 'Les Aventures de Douglas Ferbanc et Vaseline' (Dargaud, 1982). Pétillon also appeared sporadically in the pages of Fluide Glacial (from 1975 on), À Suivre (from 1978 on) and Chic (1984).
'Courrier Pour Jupiter!' (Métal Hurlant #36, December 1978).
Pétillon has additionally been a productive scriptwriter for other artists. With Yves Got he made the absurd funny animal series 'Gomard et Kolabuc' for Pilote (1974) and L'Écho des Savanes (1975-1976). Their best known joint creation is however 'Le Baron Noir' (1976-1981), a cynical view on society and politics through the exploits of the unscrupulous predator The Black Baron, a vulture, and a group of mostly impassive sheep. The sheep population however also knows some historic leaders, trade unionists and rebels, while the events are meticulously evaluated and discussed by an elephant and a turtle. The series debuted in L'Écho des Savanes, and then ran as a daily strip in Le Matin de Paris from 1977 until 1981. By 1978 Got took over the scripwriting as well, sometimes aided by Nikita Mandryka, Christian Godard or Martin Veyron. René Pétillon has also written the albums 'Panique à Londres' (2003), 'Scandale à New York' (2004) and 'Triomphe à Hollywood' (2006), starring the characters Dico and Charles. The artwork was provided by Jean-Marc Rochette. With Florence Cestac, he made the humorous comics album 'Super Catho' (2004), which he largely based on his childhood memories.
Cartoon from Le Canard Enchaîné (18 November 2015). Translation: "Death to the joy of living!" - "Long live the joy of dying!".
Pétillon made a graphic contribution to Marion Vidal's 'Monsieur Schulz et ses Peanuts' (Albin Michel, 1976), an essay about Charles M. Schulz' 'Peanuts', illustrated with subversive parodies of the comic, that Schulz unsuccessfully tried to sue. In 1983, Pétillon was one of many comic artists paying homage to the recently deceased Hergé in a special issue of (À Suivre), titled 'Adieu Hergé'. He paid tribute to Nikita Mandryka in the collective comic book 'Tronches de Concombre' (Dupuis, 1995). He additionally made a graphic contribution to the anti-racism collective comic book 'Rire Contre Le Racisme' (Jungle!, 2006).
Besides the aforementioned Alph-Art prize, René Pétillon was awarded the Grand Prize of the City of Angoulême in 1989 and the "Grand Prix de l'humour Vache 2002" during the Salon International du Dessin de Presse et d'Humour in Saint-Just-le-Martel. On 27 November 2017 he received the Grand Boum Ville de Blois for his entire oeuvre.
Final years and death
During the 1980s Pétillon also worked as a topical cartoonist, initially for L'Écho des Savanes and VSD. Since 1993 he became a house cartoonist for the satirical magazine Le Canard Enchaîné. He also appeared in a couple of issues of Charlie Hebdo, following the relaunch after the January 2015 terrorist attacks, which caused the deaths of several of the magazine's cartoonists. Much of his cartooning work has been collected in book format by Denoël and Albin Michel.The artist announced his retirement from Le Canard in August 2017 to focus on creating comics again. Unfortunately he passed away from a long illness at age 72, little over a year later.
René Pétillon was a strong influence on Dutch cartoonist Willem.

How Side Street Inn's Colin Nishida Went From Bar Owner to Restaurateur of the Year
All Colin Nishida wanted to do was run a bar—and now he's 2018 Restaurateur of the Year, with Hale 'Aina Gold awards for Best Bar Food and Best Gourmet Comfort Food.

It's just after 2 p.m. on Tuesday and the staff at Side Street Inn on Da Strip is busily getting ready to open for dinner. The wait staff is setting tables, the bartender is wiping glasses, the kitchen workers are at their stations, chopping, slicing, waiting.
It's strange to see the restaurant on Kapahulu Avenue so quiet, with bare tables and empty bar seats. But it's not the void of customers I feel. It's the fact that Colin Nishida, the beloved owner who's always ordering shots for his friends or plating specials in the kitchen, isn't here.
Truth is, Nishida, 61, isn't at his restaurant as much these days. After spending four months in the hospital with a severe case of diverticulitis in 2009—three of those months in a medically induced coma—and undergoing surgeries that seem to make him only feel worse, the longtime workaholic has had to take it easy. Doctor's orders.
"I stay at home and watch TV," he says, sitting across from me in a booth and smiling and waving at workers. "It's so boring."
"It's just a friendly atmosphere, easy, casual, comfortable, relaxing."
—Alan Wong
He might walk a little slower and drink far less, but he's still that same guy, the one who would be prepping in the kitchen at the now-defunct Fort Street Grill in Downtown in the morning and enjoying a cold beer with his friends at the original Side Street Inn on Hopaka Street later that night.
"He's just a down-to-earth, genuine guy," says longtime friend Albert Tsuru, who was one of Nishida's first customers when he opened Side Street Inn 25 years ago. (He now works as one of his managers at the Kapahulu location.) "He's always willing to help everybody. He rarely says no. He's a generous and good-hearted person."
That generosity and sincerity have endeared people to Nishida, our Restaurateur of the Year. Sure, the deep-fried pork chops and fried rice served in substantial portions continue to lure customers—including visits from No Reservations host Anthony Bourdain and Man v. Food Nation's Adam Richman as well as mentions in Saveur and Travel + Leisure—but the atmosphere Nishida has created in both of his restaurants is born from a genuine desire he has for people to have a good time.
"It's almost like Cheers, where everybody knows everybody," says James Beard Award-winning chef Alan Wong, who started eating at Side Street back in the '90s. "It's just a friendly atmosphere, easy, casual, comfortable, relaxing."
FRIED RICE & KALBI: TWO OF THE RESTAURANT'S MOST POPULAR DISHES HAVE BEEN ON THE MENU FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS.
SIDE STREET TO CENTER STAGE
Nishida grew up in Moanalua and attended Farrington High School, working after school and on the weekends at a small lunch counter. After graduation, he got a job tending bar at the Ala Moana Hotel, then at Oasis Nightclub in Kaimukī. With his friend, Robert Takemoto, Nishida opened up Take's Restaurant, a tiny plate-lunch spot on a side street near Ala Moana Center.
In 1992, space opened up in that building on Hopaka Street and he and Takemoto decided to convert Take's into a bar, calling it Side Street, the way they had been referring to their location.
In those days, Side Street was truly a bar, with just five items on the menu, including fried rice and a grilled-Spam-and-egg sandwich. The pork chops came later.
With no culinary training or kitchen experience, Nishida took to experimenting, coming up with dishes he thought tasted good. He didn't realize then that his concoctions would catapult him to culinary fame. He even has a Rogue Ales beer dedicated to him and his pork chops; it's called Side Street Inn Ale and bears an illustration of him on the bottle. (One of the Oregon-based brewery's founders, Jack Joyce, spent four months in Hawai'i and fell in love with the restaurant and, particularly, the chops.)
"We thought nobody was going to buy them. Then Alan Wong says these chops are good and boom."
—Colin Nishida
"I never like be known as a restaurant," Nishida says, sitting in the expansive dining room on Kapahulu, as servers prep for the dinner crowd. "I just wanted to be known as a bar. Restaurants, you gotta think about service and food and stuff like that. But a bar, you just drink one beer, have a shot, we all good."
Side Street's late hours attracted restaurant industry workers, including notable local chefs Wong, Roy Yamaguchi and Russell Siu. When Emme Tomimbang took a group of them to visit their favorite restaurants for an episode of Emme's Island Moments in 1998, Wong picked Side Street Inn and that was it. Overnight, Nishida says, Side Street went from backstreet bar to a secret hole-in-the-wall where even award-winning chefs dined. Lines formed. Parents brought their kids. Everyone wanted pork chops. Nishida instituted a two-drink minimum to remind customers that this was a bar first, not a restaurant. It didn't last long.
And then he just gave in.
Today, the two restaurants go through 2,000 pounds of pork chops a week.
"I always tell Matt [Toya, the chef] who the [expletive] would think we'd sell pork chops," Nishida says, shaking his head. "We just made them to fill the menu. We thought nobody was going to buy them. Then Alan Wong says these chops are good and boom."
The two locations of Side Street Inn go through 2,000 pounds of pork chops a week.
The diverticulitis in 2009 nearly ended Nishida's career—and his life. He suffered from severe abdominal pain, was severely dehydrated and his blood pressure spiked. When he was admitted to The Queen's Medical Center, he went into septic shock and nearly died.
"We thought we were going to lose him," Tsuru remembers. "It was scary."
Nishida spent four months in the hospital and weeks in physical therapy. He had to learn to walk, to write, to talk again. Amazingly, just eight months after being discharged, he managed to open the $1.5 million Side Street Inn on Da Strip, designing everything, from the dining room décor to the menu, from his hospital bed.
It didn't take long for Nishida to be back in the kitchen, working on daily specials and prepping for the dinner rush.
As laid-back as he may appear, Nishida is actually very particular, say his longtime staffers. He's constantly wiping counters and exceedingly meticulous about plating. He also hates it when bussers and servers pinch the inside of glasses with their fingers to pick them up.
"He's a stickler about that," Tsuru says, laughing. "I remember he used to charge a $1 finger fine. He's lax about some things, but everything has to be just so."
The Kapahulu location is much more focused on the food than the original bar, with more than 60 items on the food menu. There are salads brimming with locally sourced veggies, crispy fried chicken gizzards, Manila clams paired with locally made Portuguese sausage, Chinese-style crispy roast pork, even escargot baked in mushroom cups with garlic butter and three cheeses.
After the pork chops, the restaurant's fried rice is probably the next top seller, with bits of bacon, Portuguese sausage, char siu, peas, carrots and green onion. One plate can feed a family of four, easily, and the restaurant serves about 60 orders a night. There's an entire six-burner station in the 1,500-square-foot kitchen devoted to just fried rice.
Wong, who used to patronize Side Street a couple of times a week and took his employees there for lunch last summer, describes it as the quintessential local restaurant.
"The flavors, the ingredients, the style, it's very local," says Wong, whose favorite dishes include the pork chops, fried rice and miso chicken. "[Nishida] is a really good cook who really understands local flavors."
Whenever he stops by, Nishida will make one of Wong's favorite pūpū: dried cuttlefish charred on the grill. Wong pulls off strips of it and dips it into a shoyu-mayo sauce.
"It's so good," Wong says, smiling, recalling the taste of the cuttlefish. "No like eat 'em because you get stink breath."
So many people have memories like that of Nishida. Tsuru remembers drinking at Side Street every Sunday, at the same table (Table 28, or what the waitresses used to call the Devil's Table), with Nishida and their friends buying shots for each other. Toya, who's worked at Side Street for 15 years, jokes about a perk of the job being the free drinks Nishida would buy him all the time. Some remember all the charity events he catered, the free ice cream he would send out to the kids dining in the restaurant, the handshakes, his warm smile.
Nishida has one more surgery to go, and he's hoping this will set things right. He misses being at the restaurant, surrounded by friends in a place that has brought him so much joy over the past 25 years. It was obvious at the Hale 'Aina Awards gala in September, sitting at a table with his employees, many of whom he considers friends. Nishida only attended the event after one of them convinced him to come. He didn't know he would be receiving the Restaurateur of the Year honor, but she did. Decked in lei, he walked on stage with a grin of a guy both embarrassed and delighted to be there.
"I just want to do what I like doing," he says.

My Brilliant Friends
My Brilliant Friends is a group biography of three women's friendships forged in second-wave feminism. Poignant and politically charged, the book is a captivating personal account of the complexities of women's bonds. Nancy K. Miller describes her friendships with three well-known scholars and literary critics: Carolyn Heilbrun, Diane Middlebrook, and Naomi Schor. Their relationships were simultaneously intimate and professional, emotional and intellectual, animated by the ferment of the women's movement. Friendships like these sustained the generation of women whose entrance into male-dominated professions is still reshaping American society. The stories of their intertwined lives and books embody feminism's belief in the political importance of personal experience. Reflecting on aging and loss, ambition and rivalry, competition and collaboration, Miller shows why and how friendship's ties matter in the worlds of work and love. Inspired in part by the portraits of the intensely enmeshed lives in Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels, My Brilliant Friends provides a passionate and timely vision of friendship between women.

Now an HBO series: the first volume in the New York Times–bestselling "enduring masterpiece" about a lifelong friendship between two women from Naples (The Atlantic). Beginning in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples, Elena Ferrante's four-volume story spans almost sixty years, as its main characters, the fiery and unforgettable Lila and the bookish narrator, Elena, become women, wives, mothers, and leaders, all the while maintaining a complex and at times conflicted friendship. This first novel in the series follows Lila and Elena from their fateful meeting as ten-year-olds through their school years and adolescence. Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between two women.

A Formula for Hate: Captain Planet & the Planeteer's HIV Episode
By Rebecca Kreston | June 28, 2013 1:45 pm
Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart! "Captain Planet and Planeteers" is a classic of 1990s television and may soon appear on the big screen as a live-action movie. The animated television series featured five earnest teenagers equipped with magical powers fighting eco-villains intent on destroying the ozone, rainforest and the wetlands and guided by the sage wisdom of Gaia, the spirit of Earth, and Captain Planet. Today, the program is recognized for its environmental "edutainment" pitch and the emerald-mulleted, square-jawed appearance of its titular superhero.
Captain Planet and the Planeteers title card from the first episode. Image: 1990 Program TBS Productions, Inc. and DIC Enterprises, Inc.
Protecting the various ecosystems of the planet from floridly named villains – including Hoggish Greedly, Sly Sludge, Looten Plunder, and Duke Nukem – were not the only weekly missions encountered by the Planeteers. The quintet also found time to spread a public health message and drop some HIV/AIDS knowledge on its young viewers. The 11th episode in the third series of the six-year program aired an episode, "A Formula for Hate," on November 21, 1992 that focused on a HIV-infected youngster rejected by his community.
The plot rundown is as follows: Verminous Skumm, one of the hallmark villains of the series, has discovered that a high school basketball star by the name of Todd Andrews, voiced by Neil Patrick Harris!, is infected with HIV. Skumm has broken into a physician's office, rifled through patient medical records and chanced on Todd's record and his recent HIV diagnosis. Whoa now! Can we say HIPAA violation?
In the episode, Todd's physician explains to the young man and his mother – shakily voiced by guest star Elizabeth Taylor, the actress and longtime AIDS activist who passed away in 2011 – that HIV is spread through "using drugs with needles, unprotected sex or from that blood transfusion you had a few years back," surely a pivotal, uncensored moment in children's animated cartoons. Meanwhile in his sewage lair, Skumm makes photocopies of Todd's face with the word AIDS in bright red letters splashed across it, a sort of scarlet photocopy. His objective?
Once we let people know the kid has AIDS, we can panic the whole town. When people panic, they don't think. If they don't think, they stay stupid about AIDS and it can spread. And once it spreads far enough, we can take over the earth.
Skumm has "discovered the formula for hate" and has discovered a foolproof plan for world domination. Let's make this quick: Todd, bullied by his classmates and rejected by his community, makes a baffling choice to … wait for it … escape by canoe to a bayou swamp cabin. Following a hallucinogenic sequence of tormenting dreams, he makes the decision to return home and face his bullies only to discover his canoe has drifted away thanks to Skumm. The Planeteers and Captain Planet stage a rescue and bring him to a basketball game in which they educate the public on the realities of HIV transmission. The twenty-minute episode ends with a brief sermon by Gaia and the program's familiar refrain, " Remember the power is yours!"
This episode is one of the earliest occasions that a cartoon addressed the issue of HIV/AIDS directly to children, broadcasting a message of compassion and understanding. At the time of the episode's broadcast in 1991, an estimated 3000 children were infected with the virus in the United States (1). Many were healthy enough to attend daycare facilities and schools raising concerns among parents and educators at a time in which little was known about the communicability of the virus.
In 1987, five years before "A Formula for Hate" aired, the family home of the Ray brothers, hemophiliacs aged 8 through 10 infected with HIV from contaminated blood products, had been torched by arsonists furious at the Ray family's legal efforts to enroll their children in a local Florida school. In 1990, Ryan White, the poster child for pediatric HIV and a victim of HIV-based discrimination, died from complications of the disease. He had also acquired the infection from blood transfusions to control his hemophilia.
"A Formula for Hate" is one example of a trend in the early 1990s to process the sweeping effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic that left no stone unturned in its ruthless ubiquitousness, infecting even children. The subject is handled a bit clumsily – a rodent villain trying to take over the world using HIV as his weapon of choice, really? – but the overarching goal and message is sincere: educating young viewers on the importance of dignity and respect for children at the greatest risk of bullying and stigmatization. Protect yourself with knowledge and remember: with our powers combined, we can fight the stigma against HIV/AIDS!
On June 27, 2013, Sony Pictures announced that they are currently producing a live-action movie based on Captain Planet. Get ready, guys!
Shawn Decker briefly recounts the story of the Ray brothers at his blog covering aspects of HIV infection. The author himself was expelled from school on account of his HIV-positive status.

THE BIG QUESTION: Are Retiring Baby Boomers About To Crash The Stock Market?
AGING populations in America and Europe raise many economic concerns.
A popular one is whether aging baby boomers will tank the stock market. That's the story in this Wall Street Journal article, which says that when baby boomers bought stock to fund their retirement, that drove up share prices in the 1990s. Now, on the cusp of retirement, they will sell their shares so prices must fall.
This theory appears to be confirmed by a figure from the San Francisco Fed, which shows a strong correlation between the price/earnings ratio and what they call the M/O ratio, the ratio of people age 40 to 49 to people age 60 to 69.
Does this mean were doomed for a bearish decade? Perhaps, but I am not convinced.
First it's unlikely that each cohort of retiring baby boomers will sell shares en-masse. Most retirees don't annuitise or hold a significant amount of inflation-linked securities, so many will probably keep some equity in their portfolio to hedge against inflation in retirement. And if investors expect liquidity to dry up, wouldn't that already be reflected in prices?
Perhaps the number of equity buyers won't fall. Many boomers don't own stock; according to the 2007 Survey of Consumer Finance about 60% of households with a boomer head own some stock. If owning equity becomes more popular then the supply of buyers could increase, even as the population ages. Most people only own shares through their retirement account, so the growing ubiquity of private pension accounts (which covers a larger share of the American population than defined-benefit plans ever did) could increase stock market participation.
Global markets are also more integrated and it's the global population of investors that matters. But people and institutions tend to have home bias when it comes to their stock portfolio, so I'm not sure we can count on Chinese savers to buy American stocks.
Besides, the supply and demand story is not the only thing that determines asset pricing. It may in the short-run, but over the long-run there are other factors. Many of the economic models that show decreased demand resulting in lower stock prices assume a fixed capital stock or capital structure. With a smaller labour force participation rate or population of share buyers, why would the number of shares stay the same? Firms might buy back shares to keep the price high or there may be fewer firms because of mergers or closures. Or if firms can't raise much capital in the equity market they might explore other methods of finance. And if retirees do hold on to their equities they might desire stocks that pay dividends to finance their consumption.
The supply and demand story also ignores the risk. Stock returns are determined by the equity risk premium above bond returns. The risk premium is how much investors are compensated for holding an asset thats riskier than a bond. So a falling stock price demographic scenario presumes that younger generations are more risk-tolerant. Perhaps that's true; risk tolerance can be generation-specific. Children of the Depression were more wary of the stock-market than baby boomers. But if generational risk tolerance determines share prices you'd see higher stock prices in the 1960s and 70s, when Depression children were in their prime saving years, and lower ones in the 1990s, when baby boomers were saving; the opposite happened.
Another way to look at equity prices is as reflecting the discounted value of future cash flows of a company, or future profitability/productivity. That will be determined by the size of the labour force and future gains in productivity from technological innovations. This is the demographic issue that troubles me.
As populations age, America and Europe will divert an increasing share of GDP to the old, rather than developing the skills of the young, through state pensions and health care. This might undermine future productivity. Megan McArdle frets that countries with older populations will experience slower growth because older workers may be less innovative and risk-taking. That's not encouraging but need not be our fate; one never knows what new innovation has the potential to transform an economy. Years of history suggest each generation is richer and more productive than the last; why should our future be any different?
It is not clear what demographics will mean for the share prices. The story is more complicated than supply and demand of share buyers. The stock market in the future will be determined by global attitudes toward risk, retirement, and productivity. Whether or not this will result in decades of bear markets is anyone's guess.

Defence Minister Richard Marles delighted to welcome American nuclear-powered Virginia Class fast-attack submarine
Virginia Class nuclear sub visit a plain delight for Marles. The Mandarin, By Julian Bajkowski, Tuesday November 29, 2022
For a routine visit, on a routine deployment, defence minister Richard Marles is plenty excited about the USS Mississippi, a very large nuclear-powered Virginia Class fast-attack submarine that not-so-quietly slipped into Fleet Base West, better known as HMAS Stirling, located off the coast of Perth.
The latest movement in Australia's strategic dance to get nuclear-powered subs under the AUKUS agreement, the Mississippi's overt visit and attendant official ceremonies are part of a growing local showcase of military-equipment makers intent on securing Australia's business.
Smaller (and cheaper) than the gargantuan Ohio Class ballistic missile submarines that previously could carry as many as 150 Tomahawk cruise missiles (or 24 Trident multiple-warhead ballistic missiles), Virginia class subs are slated to number around 34 over the life of the program.
The Virginia boats are essentially the bulk-buy of the US combat submarine fleet, providing maritime hunt and attack capability as well as being a surveillance and weapons launch platform.
The fact that there are plenty of them and that there is still life in the construction cycle makes them potentially attractive to Australia, because they are a known quantity with an established skills base that could be transferred here under the AUKUS arrangement.
Marles has already had a Mississippi sneak peek.
"I had the opportunity to tour the USS Mississippi as part of my visit to Pearl Harbour in Hawaii last month, alongside US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin," Marles said……….
The Albanese government is also trying to normalise the visitation to Australia of nuclear vessels as very much business as usual.
….. "The USS Mississippi is the second US nuclear-powered vessel to visit Australia in 2022, following a visit by the USS Springfield in April.
"The visit reflects the ongoing strength of Australia's alliance with the United States and builds on previous visits of nuclear-powered submarines from our AUKUS partners." https://www.themandarin.com.au/206847-virginia-class-nuclear-sub-visit-a-plain-delight-for-marles/

Be skeptical of nationwide websites that induce wedding costs. Since those websites that do things on "average," they are simply good for lovers looking for the average experience. You deserve more!

This will reduce stress and ensure you're making a good choice for you. Focus on Googling the person/company and reading their reviews. Watch any videos they could have from other weddings. If you can notify that you want their style, schedule a meeting recover wedding DJ to ensure you vibe with the other person in person. Then seal the offer!

Historically, the corner was a mecca for black Americans. Today, it symboizes the jazz era that flourished in Kanas City between 1920 and World War II. Of the areas historically identified with Kansas City's black populations, 18th and Vine is the only one retaining sufficient continuity to recal the early evolution of the city's black culture.
Buck O'Neil, a former Kansas City Monarch and the first African American coach in Major League Baseball, says he remembers feeling like a king when he frequented Vine Street during the Monarch days.
"Here I was sing, young, playing with the Monarchs and had a pocket full of money," O'Neill recalls. "You'd see Billie Holiday walking down the street, eat brakfast with Dinah Washington and run into Count Basie at the hotel." Kansas City Magazine June 1997.
"We would close a 1AM, 1:15...but the rest of the clubs in Kansas City went twelve hours. Some guys go to work playing at seven in the evening and get off at seven in the morning. And that's how I got a chance to meet a lot of the musicians and a lot of the club owners. I was getting' off at 1:15 and I had all that time to go by this club and that club and listen. Piano players in K.C. weren't jealous. No, they shared. You come in there and watch, he ain't gonna hide back. He's gonna go and on and play. 'Cause that's what it was about in Kansas City: go ahead and play.
See, the town was wide open. Gambling, prostitution. I never did follow that too hard—I was checkin' on the cats, ha ha—but it was there if you wanted to partake of it. A lot of these clubs never closed They statey open 24 hours a day. Seven o'clock in the mornin' you'd look up and see bunch of guys sittin' at the bar drinkin'. About 7:15 they'd all be over in this corner drinkin'. And they'd clean all down the bar there. In another fifteen minutes they'd be back up at the bar drinkin'. Heh he he. They never did close.
The significance of 18th and Vine extends far beyond a single intersection and the mythology o the prewar jazz era when famous musicians haunted the streets and sidewalks. It represents the hopes, dreams and history of a segregated minority that fought for equality.
The black community in 1919 had its own YMCA, political organizations, civic club, two hospitals and, of course, a newspaper. Trolley cars took people to and from the intersection and taxis raced through the district.
Between 1900 and 1930, Kansas City's black populations increased substantially because fo the migration from rural southern areas. From Ninth Sreets south to Twenty-Eighth Street and from Troost east to Indiana East. Kansas ity's blacks created a legacy of prosperous businesses, substantial residences and educational institutions. The people who settled the 18th and Vine community were professionals.
