7.1 Soundtrack
In 1895, a young immigrant couple is refused entry into Manhattan because they have consumption (Tuberculosis). When their infant son is not allowed entry to the country without them, the couple place him in a model sailboat named "City of Justice," in which the baby floats to the New York City shoreline. In 1916, the baby boy has grown up to become Peter Lake (Colin Farrell), a thief raised by a supernatural demon posing as the gangster Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe). Peter is marked for death when he decides to leave Pearly's gang. In a confrontation, he is rescued by a mysterious (winged at times) white horse, his guardian angel.
Although Peter hopes to move to Florida and come back in the summer, the horse encourages him to steal from one last mansion. The mansion is the home where Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay) lives, a young woman dying of consumption, whose fever is so high she sleeps outside in a tent in the winter cold. While her publisher father Isaac (William Hurt) and younger sister Willa are not home, Beverly discovers Peter preparing to rob the house. When Peter assures her that he no longer wishes to commit robbery, Beverly offers to make him a cup of tea. They tell each other their stories and fall in love. Pearly orders his men to Beverly's home, believing that saving her is Peter's "miracle" and spiritual destiny and that he can destroy Peter by preventing it. Peter rescues Beverly from being knifed by Pearly, and they escape to the Lake of the Coheeries, where Pearly, who is supernaturally limited to the five boroughs of New York City, cannot follow. Peter meets Beverly's family at their summer home and wins their respect.
While on a walk, Beverly explains to Peter that everyone is born with a miracle inside and they are ultimately destined to become stars when they die. Pearly asks Lucifer (Will Smith), for access to the lake home, but his request is denied. Instead, Pearly, who refers to himself as a Knight among Lucifer's angels, calls in a debt owed to him by another of Lucifer's angels. At a ball, the angel disguised as a waiter poisons Beverly's drink. When Peter and Beverly return home from the ball, Peter watches the shadows she casts upon the sides of her lighted tent, joins her, and the two make love. Her pulse races faster than ever due to the poison in her heart, and she dies. After the funeral, when Peter and his mysterious white horse return to the city, Pearly and his men surround them on the Brooklyn Bridge. To save its life, Peter orders his mysterious winged horse to fly away, and Pearly gives Peter five vicious head-butts, pushing him off the bridge.
Peter miraculously survives but wanders around the city with amnesia for a century, drawing chalk art of a red-headed girl on the pavements. In 2014, the 119 year-old, but physically undiminished Peter, bumps into a young girl named Abby and meets her mother, Virginia Gamely (Jennifer Connelly). He rediscovers the brass name plate of the "City of Justice", the toy sailboat in which his parents placed him. Peter then discovers the Theatre of the Coheeries, founded by Isaac, who has dedicated it to Beverly. He visits the Isaac Penn Reading Room where Virginia works, and she helps him restore his memory using historical photographs archived at the library. While there, he meets Beverly's now elderly sister Willa (Eva Marie Saint), who is the owner of Virginia's newspaper.
When Peter visits the Gamelys for dinner, he learns that Abby has cancer. Realizing that Abby, who is wearing a red scarf (like his sketches) and has red hair, is his "miracle" and spiritual destiny, instead of Beverly as he originally believed, Peter convinces Virginia that he can save Abby. Pearly learns that Peter is still alive and with Virginia, and he is surprised to learn from Lucifer that Peter was Beverly's miracle, making him love her so much that he couldn't die. Enraged, Pearly asks to fight Peter as a mortal so he can destroy him for good, and Lucifer grants his request. Pearly and his men arrive at Virginia's apartment, causing Peter and Virginia to flee to the rooftop with Abby. The mysterious winged horse flies them to the Lake of the Coheeries, but Pearly, now mortal, can pursue Peter beyond the Five Boroughs. After Horse dispatches Pearly's men by crashing the ice so that they all drown, Peter and Pearly engage in a fistfight. Peter is losing until a light shines from the heavens and allows Peter to stab Pearly in the neck with the name plate from the boat, "City of Justice." Pearly turns to snow and Peter is able to save Abby on the princess bed after he kisses her forehead. After visiting Beverly's grave one last time, Peter mounts the horse to be carried away to the stars, while the elderly Willa witnesses his ascension.

Initially Warner Bros. attempted to sign Martin Scorsese in 2002, but he turned down the chance to direct the movie calling it "unfilmable." Later on Winter's Tale became a "passion project" for director Akiva Goldsman, who was given the go-ahead by Warner Bros. In February 2011 with a budget of $75 million.[7][8] It was reported that the film's budget was dropped to $60 million in February 2012; at the same time Will Smith and Russell Crowe were linked to the project in supporting roles.[9] Benjamin Walker, Tom Hiddleston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Garrett Hedlund auditioned for the role of Peter Lake[10] while Elizabeth Olsen, Bella Heathcote, Gabriella Wilde and Sarah Gadon tested for the role of Beverly Penn.[11] In March 2012 it was reported that Jessica Brown Findlay had been offered the role of Beverly, Colin Farrell was linked to the role of Peter Lake in the following month.[10] William Hurt joined the cast as Beverly's father, Isaac Penn, in August 2012.[12] In September 2012 multiple new cast members were announced, including Matt Bomer, Lucy Griffiths and Eva Marie Saint.[13] The final major addition to the cast was Jennifer Connelly, whose involvement was confirmed in October 2012 shortly before the start of filming.[14] Principal photography began in October 2012 but was delayed due to Hurricane Sandy.[15] Shooting took place at locations across New York City including Grand Central Terminal, Red Hook, Brooklyn, East Village, Manhattan, and Central Park.[16][17][18] Filming was also done at Lyndhurst in Tarrytown, New York.[19] The cinematographer was Caleb Deschanel,[20] who photographed the film with Arri Alexa digital cameras and Panavision C-, E- and G-Series anamorphic lenses.[21]
Winter's Tale premiered in London on February 13, 2014, and was theatrically released on February 14, 2014, in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film opened poorly at #7, grossing $7.3 million in its first weekend. Winter's Tale grossed just $12.6 million in the United States and $18.2 million abroad for a total of $30.8 million worldwide.[4] Warner Home Video released it on DVD and Blu-ray on June 24, 2014.[citation needed]
On review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 13% based on 151 reviews and an average rating of 3.55/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Winter's Tale tries to retain the grandiose sweep of its source novel, but fails to fill it in with characters worth rooting for or a sensible plot."[22] On another aggregation site, Metacritic, it has a score of 31 out of 100 based on 35 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[23]
In a negative review for RogertEbert.com, Sheila O'Malley awarded the film one-and-a-half stars, stating: "It lacks visual splendor... It lacks emotional depth. It lacks scope and magic."[24] O'Malley criticized Russell Crowe for "hoping that a facial tic will somehow translate as menacing", finding his first scene with Will Smith to be "incomprehensible".[24] She did, however, praise Colin Farrell's "urgent, heartfelt performance".[24]
In his one-star review for The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw was more critical of Farrell, questioning why he gives Peter an Irish accent when "[h]is character has never been to Ireland."[25] Bradshaw concluded his review by suggesting that the film could be made worse only by "releasing a giant, vicious, genetically engineered man-eating badger into the cinema while it's playing."[25]
Reviewing the film for Variety, Justin Chang claimed that writer-producer-director Akiva Goldsman was "out of his depth" but "fortunate in his choice of actors", finding Farrell to be "watchable", Jessica Brown-Findlay to be "luminous and intelligent", and Eva Marie-Saint's first film appearance since Superman Returns to be "welcome".[26] Chang also praised the production design of Naomi Shohan, and the "moody, muted tones" of Caleb Deschanel's cinematography.[26]
The film's poster was nominated for a Golden Trailer award.[27]
The musical score for Winter's Tale was composed by Hans Zimmer and Rupert Gregson-Williams.[20] A soundtrack album was released on February 11, 2014 by WaterTower Music.[28] On February 4, 2014, four tracks were revealed on SoundCloud. "Miracle", by Scottish singer KT Tunstall became the lead single of the soundtrack. The three other tracks were "What's the Best Thing You've Ever Stolen?", "You Don't Quit Me, Boy", and "She Was Like a Bright Light" all composed by Hans Zimmer and Rupert Gregson-Williams.[29]

HBO's Lupe Interview
by Dezbot February 28, 2021 February 28, 2021 0
Lana (Celia Harrison) in Lupe
Already well-received on the film festival circuit, the independent feature, Lupe, is getting a wider release on February 26, 2021 on both HBO Max and HBO Latino. The film follows the story of Rafael (Rafael Albarrán), a Cuban immigrant who is searching for their sister, Isabel (Lucerys Medina) in New York City. Isabel may be a victim of human sex trafficking, and Rafael is determined to find her.
Searching for Isabel also allows Rafael to subsume their struggle with their transgender identity. Rafael's friend, Lana (transgender performer Celia Harrison), helps them with their inner turmoil. During Rafael's search, they find Isabel's friend, Elsa (Christine Rosario Lawrence), who also helps in their self-discovery by filling in key information they didn't know about the past.
The film is both a delicate and frank reckoning with one individual's journey to their authentic self, punctuated by open and honest performances from Albarrán, Harrison, and Lawrence. Harrison's performance, in fact, was unscripted – her discussions with Albarrán were guided by director/writer/producers André Phillips and Charles Vuolo, but her words are her own. Lana and Rafael's forays into what is masculine and what is feminine come from deep in the heart.
Lupe has a more universal feel as well, and will resonate for anyone who's ever pushed against societal prescriptions of what gender is and forged their own paths. In a recent interview with Phillips, Vuolo, Albarrán, and associate producer Kerry Michelle O'Brien prior to the release of the film on HBO's platforms, the group discussed with The Nerd Element the making of the film, what they hope audiences will take away from it, and even how making it affected their own lives:

Karthik Keramalu's Film Reviews
No-Rating
I found a giggling amount of comedy in 'Bengal Tiger'. Focus on the funny bits. It won't matter if you doze off for the rest of the film though.
Palnati Surya Pratap's film isn't all mushy and he deserves a pat on his back for that. The emotions of the leads are true and it rightly says that at the end of the day trust is all that matters and nothing else comes into the picture.
Vedalam
When things that are commendable are few and far between, it's not an easy watch. For all the "Aaluma Doluma" about 'Vedalam', the impact is just about a fingerprint. There isn't enough strength in it to pack a punch.
Kamal Haasan is this out of the world Superman when he's in front of the camera. Give him any character and within a minute he transforms into that character. There's no denying that there's earnestness in Jeethu Joseph's story. But having watched a version of the movie I was apprehensive about 'Papanasam's' capability to convince me afresh. However it's a joy to discover what the team has done here. They have proved that even after watching several versions of the story, you'll still be able to relish this drama till the last minute.
'Kaakka Muttai' is a window facing the sea which allows the calm evening sun to enter the muscles and ribs of the human body to warm the heart. The evening sun also brings with it a refreshing breeze staging the essentiality of watching a film.
Uttama Villain
Kamal Haasan's film offering several memorable moments is a must watch…
Kaaki Sattai
The screen image of the lead actor isn't really the problem in 'Kaaki Sattai' but with the screenplay itself. Having bitten into Siva's performance as Mathimaaran, it would be unfair to say Siva isn't capable of rising amid insensibility. He has ten other Mathimaarans in him, only if R. S. Durai Senthilkumar had pulled the correct rabbit out of the hat, 'Kaaki Sattai' would have been the film Siva could have told in his later years that this changed his stamp as an actor.

Description: The men of the San Francisco Fire Department engine companies counted themselves lucky whenever they were fortunate enough to find water, both for the steam engines of their pumps and to put out fires. In desperation, the firefighters pumped seawater from the Bay, but still needed fresh water for their boilers.
Title: Witnesses to a fate that awaits them as well. -- The Hansen Collection -- 19060151.jpg
Description: People watch the progress of the fire that will soon consume this flank of Nob Hill. In the distance, one can see a double cordon of soldiers keeping people back from the flames. To the side, the debris of a building's façade lies in the street, its rooms now exposed to public view. This kind of damage was typical of wooden buildings incorporating a brick front. Wood and masonry reacted differently to the motions of a tremor, with the swaying wood acting as battering ram against the building's brick face.
Title: Sidewalks and curbs damaged by the liquefaction caused by the 1906 earthquake. -- The Hansen Collection -- 19060157.jpg
Description: Sidewalks and curbs damaged by the liquefaction caused by the 1906 earthquake.
Title: Refugees at Union Square. -- The Hansen Collection -- 19060158.jpg
Description: The park at Union Square was swarming with refugees within a couple hours of the quake. Union Square itself would go up in flames late in the evening of the first day.
Title: Disaster tourists -- The Hansen Collection -- 19060159.jpg
Description: Countless tourists swarmed over the ruined city after the disaster, taking photographs by the tens of thousands.
Title: Watching out for malefactors. -- The Hansen Collection -- 19060160.jpg
Description: These soldiers are standing guard in what appears to be San Franicsco's Western Addition, which suffered relatively little damage in the disaster.
Title: Soldiers waiting to be assigned their postings. -- The Hansen Collection -- 19060161.jpg
Description: For days after the disaster, soldiers continued to come into San Francisco from other Army bases in the Western States. They performed patrol work and assisted thousands of refugees in the homeless camps
Title: Smashed hyrant spouting a gusher. -- The Hansen Collection -- 19060162.jpg
Description: A hydrant damaged in the earthquake hemorrhages its precious water. This was a common scene in the city during the disaster.
Title: Digging for hastily buried victims. -- The Hansen Collection -- 19060163.jpg
Description: This photograph appears to show the digging for bodies in one of the many parks used as temporary cementaries during the disaster.
Title: Returning refugees and tourists. -- The Hansen Collection -- 19060164.jpg
Description: The thousands who escaped San Francisco to Oakland returned to find their city in ruins. They were accompanied on the west-bound ferries by tourists eager to see this once-in-a-lifetime sight.

Written for his children (Hansje and Willem), The Story of Mankind tells in brief chapters the history of western civilization beginning with primitive man, covering the development of writing, art, and architecture, the rise of major religions, and the formation of the modern (for 1921) nation-state. Van Loon explains in the book how he selected what and what not to include by subjecting all materials to the question: Did the person or event in question perform an act without which the entire history of civilization would have been different? In 1922, it was the first book to be awarded the Newbery Medal for an outstanding contribution to children's literature.
Hendrik Willem van Loon (January 14, 1882 – March 11, 1944) was a Dutch-American historian, journalist, and award-winning children's book author.

Radio Aurès est une station radio régionale appartenant à la Radio algérienne et basée dans la ville de Batna. Elle diffuse ses programmes dans les deux langues l'arabe et le berbère.

Histoire

La Radio régionale de Batna est inaugurée le . À cette époque, elle se dotait d'une seule antenne émettrice installée à Djebel Metlili (mont au nord-ouest de Batna).

Grâce aux efforts et aux financements des autorités locales de la wilaya, quatre autres relais vont être installés, pour couvrir les régions montagneuses d'Arris (60 km de Batna), de Khenchela et d'Oum El Bouaghi.

In the past few months there has been a slowdown in commercial vehicle sales after tightening liquidity conditions hit financiers.
In an interview with CNBC-TV18, TT Srinivasaraghavan, managing director of Sundaram Finance, discussed the outlook for the space going forward.
He said the slowdown seen in CV sales in November-December was more than the earlier part of the year but December was marginally better than November.
The spike in sales seen in the first half of this fiscal was due to lower sales in first half of last fiscal. The CV sales in H1 of this year were 50 percent higher than last year, he said, which has now cooled down to low 20s.
According to him, a lot of growth in the CV segment over the last 12-18 months was more driven by the tipper segment than the haulage segment and growth momentum still continued for the tipper segment. Haulage segment has been sluggish for some time now and unless something dramatic happens in the overall economy, there may not be any pick up in sales for them. Moreover, axle-load norms, bigger trucks have also impacted sales of haulage vehicles, said Srinivasraghavan.
On the passenger car segment, he said the sales for them has begun to slow down with rise in petrol/diesel prices earlier in the year. Buyer fatigue and fewer new launches also could have impacted their sales, he added.
With regards to disbursements, he said growth in low to mid double-digit would be good. There could be some potential stress going forward on back of funding constraints and so the aim is to keep the portfolio healthy and profitable than focusing on growing at breakneck speed.

Microbiology's Mestecky leads this years honorees for Service Awards recognition
Written by Tyler Greer
Jiri Mestecky, M.D., Ph.D., came to Birmingham from the Czech Republic in 1967, leaving their Academy of Sciences to come to UAB for one year of studies in microbiology.
"Then my stay was extended to two years," Mestecky says. "And then the Russians came and occupied the country. And then I met my wife. So, I decided to stay."
Mestecky has spent the past 45 years at UAB investigating the structure, biosynthesis and function of human and animal immunoglobuilin A (IgA) and immune responses. He also was among the first scientists to develop reliable assays for the measurement of mucosal HIV immune responses, to investigate correlates of HIV transmission and to participate in the effort to develop vaccines to prevent the infection. Add to that his efforts in mucosal immunology, and it's been a robustly productive four-and-a-half decades.
Now Mestecky is among more than 250 employees who will be honored at this year's Service Awards Program. The luncheon, which recognizes employees with 20 or more years of service, will take place at noon Friday, Feb. 15 in The DoubleTree Hotel. All employees with five or more years of service are invited to a drop-in reception in their honor from 3 to 4:30 p.m. the same day.
Mestecky, whose first day at UAB was March 7, 1967, is this year's longest tenured employee at 45 years. As a world-renowned researcher with more than 500 papers published, Mestecky has had several opportunities to leave over the years, but he always elected to stay.
"It just wasn't advantageous to go," he says. "When I compared laboratories, the people I was working with, retirement programs — the whole package — it didn't make sense to leave."
Mestecky officially retired Jan. 1, but he continues to work part time, and so far hasn't had time to slow down. His research into IgA nephropathy, a kidney disorder also known as Berger's disease, will continue, as will his long-term research on HIV. He also is a few months away from completing the fourth edition of Mucosal Immunology, the official publication of the Society of Mucosal Immunology. The book, which comes in two volumes and will span some 2,000 pages, focuses on immunity and inflammation involving mucosal tissues.
"When we started with mucosal immunology it was considered to be a somewhat strange area of research," Mestecky says. "It is now fully recognized that most of the cells involved with any kind of immune response are associated with mucosal issues. The gut is by far the largest organ in the body. In everyday life, this is where the stimulation of the immune system comes from.
"The major stimulus for the entire immune system is what we eat and what we breathe and the bugs that live in our gut. What keeps the immune system going is what's around us," he says.
As for retirement, Mestecky says there isn't anything special he wants to do that he hasn't already done. He does know that he and his wife Peggy Jane will go back to the Czech Republic where they have an apartment and a summer house he inherited from his father.
"It's been in my family since 1946," he says. "It's in the woods, very quiet and just gorgeous. It's a wonderful place to relax. Last year, I spent four days in the summerhouse. Hopefully I'll be able to spend four weeks there this year."

[Photos] The Battles for Karachi
by Laurent Gayer | January 14, 2014
The Battles for Karachi
With a population exceeding twenty million, Karachi is one of the largest cities in the world. It is also one of the most violent of these megacities. Since the mid-1980s, Karachi has endured endemic political conflict and violence, which revolve around control of the city and its resources—licit and otherwise.
A city of merchants founded by Hindu traders in the beginning of the 18th century, Karachi developed around its port, which anchored the city's economy and polity to the oceanic trade linking India, East Africa and the Persian Gulf, but also to the turbulences of its distant hinterland. Since the early 19th century, Karachi became the gateway to Central Asia and weapons shipments and foreign combatants have been disembarking on its shore whenever the clouds of war descended upon Afghanistan.
Since the 1970s, Afghan conflicts have been spilling over the city, which was flooded with small arms, hard drugs and battle-hardened refugees. It is in this context that the city's urban struggles started to revolve around ethnic lines, from the mid-1980s onwards, paving the way for the rise to power of the Mohajir Qaumi Movement (MQM).
An ethnic party representing the Urdu-speaking populations that migrated from India to urban Sindh after the Partition of 1947, the MQM has adamantly sought exclusive control over "its" city. This hegemonic aspiration is manifest in the saturation of the city's visual environment with the party's imagery, and in particular with the ubiquitous figure of its self-exiled charismatic leader, Altaf Hussain, who has been presiding over the destiny of Karachi from London since 1992. In recent years, the MQM's claim to "own" Karachi has been increasingly contested by new contenders to public authority, from sectarian and jihadist militants to inner-city gangsters with links to the international drugs trade.
"The primary vocation of these photographs was sociological"
As I drove, rode and walked across the city, interviewing residents, activists or social workers from all ethnic and ideological backgrounds, from 2001 onwards, I started chronicling visually these endless conflicts by constituting my own pictorial archive of the city's ordered disorder. For reasons of safety and comfort, I only carried a small digital camera, which fit well in the front pocket of my kamiz, allowing me to pull it out every now and then.
The camera became my other notepad, which I used to record the ubiquitous political and religious slogans adorning the walls of the city, the paraphernalia of political parties and the architecture of (in)security marking the boundaries between contested turfs. The primary vocation of these photographs was sociological: they were first and foremost research material complementing my oral and textual sources. As such, they were not always properly framed, focused or exposed. But as these images kept on piling up in my hard-drive, it became obvious that they were telling their own tale, bringing out the dead while capturing vividly the sense of dread and urgency that animates the living in this city at war with itself.

   single: Logging; Console messages

How to Configure Monolog to Display Console Messages
====================================================

It is possible to use the console to print messages for certain
:ref:`verbosity levels <verbosity-levels>` using the
:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Output\\OutputInterface` instance that
is passed when a command gets executed.

.. seealso::
    Alternatively, you can use the
    :doc:`standalone PSR-3 logger </components/console/logger>` provided with
    the console component.

When a lot of logging has to happen, it's cumbersome to print information
depending on the verbosity settings (``-v``, ``-vv``, ``-vvv``) because the
calls need to be wrapped in conditions. The code quickly gets verbose or dirty.
For example::

    use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
    use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

    protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
    {
        if ($output->getVerbosity() >= OutputInterface::VERBOSITY_DEBUG) {
            $output->writeln('Some info');
        }

        if ($output->getVerbosity() >= OutputInterface::VERBOSITY_VERBOSE) {
            $output->writeln('Some more info');
        }
    }

Instead of using these semantic methods to test for each of the verbosity
levels, the `MonologBridge`_ provides a `ConsoleHandler`_ that listens to
console events and writes log messages to the console output depending on the
current log level and the console verbosity.

The example above could then be rewritten as::

    use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
    use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

    protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
    {
        // assuming the Command extends ContainerAwareCommand...
        $logger = $this->getContainer()->get('logger');
        $logger->debug('Some info');

        $logger->notice('Some more info');
    }

Depending on the verbosity level that the command is run in and the user's
configuration (see below), these messages may or may not be displayed to
the console. If they are displayed, they are timestamped and colored appropriately.
Additionally, error logs are written to the error output (php://stderr).
There is no need to conditionally handle the verbosity settings anymore.

The Monolog console handler is enabled in the Monolog configuration. This is
the default in Symfony Standard Edition 2.4 too.

.. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # app/config/config.yml
        monolog:
            handlers:
                console:
                    type: console

    .. code-block:: xml

        <!-- app/config/config.xml -->
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
            xmlns:monolog="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog">

            <monolog:config>
                <monolog:handler name="console" type="console" />
            </monolog:config>
        </container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // app/config/config.php
        $container->loadFromExtension('monolog', array(
            'handlers' => array(
                'console' => array(
                   'type' => 'console',
                ),
            ),
        ));

With the ``verbosity_levels`` option you can adapt the mapping between
verbosity and log level. In the given example it will also show notices in
normal verbosity mode (instead of warnings only). Additionally, it will only

Q: Multiple points based on a single observation value I want to create a chart where I plot an entry (e.g. a geom_point) for EACH of a quantity value within a data frame.
Below, I have created a simplified version of the original data frame that I imagine I need in a resulting dataframe from which I can do the plot, as I believe ggplot will need a separate row for each.
In the example, I'd like to plot 3 Red points at position x, with y calculated based on a sequential count for each entry in the original data frame (in the example, this is 1-3 for Red and 1-4 for Blue).
I think this is probably possible using Apply and a custom function, but I'm a bit lost on how to proceed.
library(tidyverse)
origInput <- data.frame(x = c(7,2), colour = c("Red", "Blue"), quantities = c(3, 4))

desiredOutput <- data.frame(x = c(7,7,7,2,2,2,2),
                            colour = c("Red", "Red", "Red", "Blue", "Blue", "Blue", "Blue"),
                            y = c(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4))

ggplot(desiredOutput, aes(x = x, y = y, colour = colour)) +
         geom_point()

extrapolator <- function() {}
output <- apply(df, 2, extrapolator)
ggplot(output, ...)

A: As mentioned in the comments, you can use ungroup() to duplicate the rows. To get the y values, first group by the color then set the y variable as the row number.
transformed <- origInput %>%
  uncount(quantities) %>%
  group_by(colour) %>%
  mutate(y = row_number()) %>%
  ungroup()

The final plot is:

A: Thanks @aosmith.
This works perfectly.
output <- uncount(origInput, quantities, .id = "y")
ggplot(output, aes(x = x, y = y, colour = colour)) +
geom_point()

Le carnaval de Morat est un carnaval qui se déroule dans la ville fribourgeoise de Morat, en Suisse

Déroulement
Le carnaval se déroule dans sa forme actuelle depuis 1950, avec depuis de nombreuses petites adaptations. Il dure trois et jours et deux nuits, plus précisément du samedi après-midi à la nuit du lundi au mardi. La date n'est pas fixée en relation avec le mardi gras, dont la date varie en fonction de la date de Pâques, mais est fixé en règle générale au premier dimanche de mars.

Le grand moment de la fête est le cortège du dimanche après-midi. Les groupes carnavalesques et leurs chars thématiques ainsi que les Guggen suivent un itinéraire fixe à travers les rues de la vieille ville remplie de spectateurs. La taille des chars est conditionnée par la possibilité de passer dans certaines ruelles et la place pour le public plafonne à  personnes.

Le cortège des enfants du samedi après-midi est suivi, le même soir, de la proclamation du carnaval. Le « Füdlibürger » (le terme a dans l'usage courant de la langue le sens de « petit bourgeois ») est mis à feu le lundi soir à la suite d'un « procès » parfaitement arbitraire, dans lequel tout ce qui a marché de travers durant les douze mois précédents représente un élément à charge. Les acteurs du carnaval sont principalement les membres groupes qui construisent des chars, les guggen qui jouent de la musique et les auteurs de couplets satiriques (les « Schnitzelbank ») avec quelques autres actifs.

La société « Fastnachtgesellschaft Murten » (FGM) veille au bon déroulement de la fête dans le respect de la tradition. Elle coordonne l'activité des groupes, met sur pied le cortège et s'investit dans les deux éléments récurrents, le char des princes et le char du « Füdlibürger » (qui porte toujours le numéro 13).

Peu avant la fête paraissent des journaux carnavalesques : la FGM-Zyttig, le Mortebriegger (parodie du Murtenbieter) ainsi que le Tischplattesöiferi (le « baveux » du coin de table, avec un escargot pour symbole). Les publications sont vendues au prix de CHF 3.01 (avec un rabais de quantité de 1 centime dès le premier exemplaire).

Histoire
À la fin du , un carnaval tente à plusieurs reprises de se pérenniser. Depuis la fondation de la société de carnaval « Fastnachtgesellschaft Murten » pour l'édition de 1950, le fonctionnement suit le même canevas, avec de mineures adaptations et quelques ajouts. La figure du bouc émissaire/ Bonhomme hiver qu'est le « Füdlibürger » se fixe en 1965 et remplace le « Böögg » précédemment porteur de la même fonction.

Macao : When and where to go?
Macao: Climate & Weather
Located in the monsoon zone, Macau enjoys a subtropical humid climate, hot in summer, drier and cooler in winter.
The summer also brings its share of storms, heavy rains and typhoons.
To stay, the best season is autumn, between mid-October and mid-December, where there is a clear sky and a quite warm weather.
Macao: Map
What to do in Macao
It is very pleasant to walk in the colonial Macao with its Portuguese influence, or in the Chinese city. Here are some must-sees.
The Largo do Senado, the main square of old Macao, framed by beautiful buildings and decorated with mosaics, from which streets with pastel-colored facades radiate; The Senate Loyal, very emblematic of Portuguese architecture.
Continue to the facade of the Sao Paulo church, the emblem of the city, in the Baroque style, which is all that remains of the monument destroyed by a fire in 1835; The magnificently restored Sao Lourenço church, probably the most impressive in Macao, and also in Baroque style; The temple of A Ma, located at the tip of the peninsula, which is dedicated to the protective goddess of sailors and fishermen, already existing in the 16th century at the arrival of the Portuguese.
On the island south of the peninsula, the old villages of Taipa, Cotai and Coloane, all 3 very different but with each their charm.
Macao : The basics
Unlike mainland China, a visa for Macao is not required for EU nationals.
The current currency is the pataca, but the Hong Kong dollar is accepted everywhere.
An international airport allows access to Macau, connecting most of the major cities of China. It can also be reached very easily by ferry from Hong Kong, and by high-speed train from Guangzhou.
To travel, the road network is rather efficient, and public transport serves a large part of the territory (bus), supplemented by many taxis, inexpensive. Motorcycles and mopeds are widely used by locals, and traffic is often saturated in the city. Walking is the best way to get around the city. You can easily rent a car or a motorbike for a walk in the islands.
Budget: Cheaper than Hong Kong, Macau requires an average budget of about 50 € for a double room and about 10 € for a meal.
Health: There is no compulsory vaccination for travelers from Europe, but it is prudent to have up-to-date vaccines. Take the usual precautions regarding food.
Safety: No special safety problems. In case of a typhoon during the summer period, warning messages are broadcast and it is better to stay safe.
Shopping: You will find in the alleys many shops of clothing very inexpensive.

The Icy Secrets of an Interstellar Visitor
The mysterious space object 'Oumuamua may harbor ice under a crust hardened by cosmic radiation.
Marina Koren
Artist's impression of 'Oumuamua, the first known interstellar asteroidESO / M. Kornmesser
To telescopes, 'Oumuamua, the interstellar asteroid that made itself known to Earth in October, looks like a point of light in the dark, much like a star in the night sky—a perhaps underwhelming picture of a significant discovery.
But for astronomers, the tiny speck—the sunlight reflected by the asteroid—can reveal a trove of information. They can break down the light from an object into a spectrum of individual wavelengths, from which they can infer the object's shape, chemical composition, and other properties. As astronomers like to say, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a spectrum is worth a thousand pictures.
The astronomy community has spent weeks sorting through these pictures of 'Oumuamua, captured by telescopes around the world as the asteroid sped away from the sun and faded from view. The earliest analysis of the light from 'Oumuamua, conducted by its discoverers in Hawaii, revealed a strange, fast-spinning, cigar-like object unlike anything they've ever seen. The latest analyses continue to produce tantalizing results, further challenging long-standing predictions for the first visitor to our solar system.
'Oumuamua has a thick crust of carbon-rich material, hardened by years of exposure to cosmic radiation in interstellar space, that could be protecting an icy interior, according to a new analysis in Nature Astronomy of the object in visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The coating could explain why 'Oumuamua shows no signs of being a comet, the kind of object scientists long expected would coast into our solar system.
An Interstellar Tourist Barrels Through the Solar System
Astronomers to Check Mysterious Interstellar Object for Signs of Technology
Interstellar Object Shows No Signs of Alien Technology So Far
When the asteroid was first spotted by the Pan-STARRS telescope in Hawaii, 'Oumuamua was already speeding away from the sun and quickly fading from view. Scientists had only about two weeks to deploy telescopes to soak up the reflected light before the interstellar visitor got too far away. They looked for a coma, a stream of evaporated particles that trails comets as they pass near the sun and their icy contents become heated. 'Oumuamua had made a fairly close pass to the sun—about a quarter of the distance between the sun and Earth—and telescopes were prepared to spot as little as a sugar cube's worth of material flying off the object every second.
"We had data that matched pretty closely with what we'd expect for a body out there," said Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queen's University Belfast who led the new analysis. "And yet we saw no sign of ice being heated and ejected into space."
'Oumuamua didn't show signatures of ice or minerals found in rock, which means it's neither icy nor rocky, at least not exactly. But it did show signs of carbon compounds. Fitzsimmons said previous studies have revealed that when carbon-rich, comet-like objects are exposed to the radiation that would be found in interstellar space, the material forms a crust that acts as insulation. If 'Oumuamua has ice, as a comet would, it may be hiding beneath a mantle half a meter thick, formed after hundreds of millions—perhaps even billions—of years of bombardment by high-energy particles.
Fitzsimmons and his colleagues say 'Oumuamua's crust may have been able to prevent heat from the sun from penetrating the surface and vaporizing ice particles. According to their thermal models, any ice buried 30 centimeters (12 inches) deep would have remained intact even as the surface of the asteroid reached temperatures of about 600 degrees Kelvin (620 degrees Fahrenheit) during its pass of the sun.
"Comets are absolutely excellent insulators," said Karen Meech, one of 'Oumuamua's discoverers at the University of Hawaii, who was not involved in this new analysis."They're very fluffy and porous, like a down jacket."
Scientists will likely never know for sure what lies inside 'Oumuamua. When astronomers study the light reflected from the asteroid, they're only examining the top few microns of its surface, a width smaller than that of a human red blood cell. "We can infer only so much about these little dots of light," said Michele Bannister, an astronomer at Queen's University Belfast and a coauthor on the new study.
Astronomers also have a finite amount of data to work with. Most of their ground-based telescope observations were carried out in the two weeks after 'Oumuamua was discovered, when it was still visible enough to get good measurements. The majority of research on 'Oumuamua—the attempts to explain its weird shape, its nonstop spinning, its unexpected hardiness—will come out of this data set.
The rest may come from yet-to-be published observations by space telescopes like the Hubble, which has tracked 'Oumuamua to help astronomers better understand its trajectory and where it came from. The asteroid is now about twice the distance between the Earth and the sun from our planet. Even to Hubble, the producer of countless, radiant images of distant stars and galaxies, 'Oumuamua, a small object about 400 meters long, will look like a small point of light.
"It could be icy inside, and we'll never know," Meech said.

Рудня () — місто (з 1926), адміністративний центр Руднянського району, Смоленська область, Росія.

Населення 9 954 осіб (на 1 січня 2012 року).

Географія
Місто розташоване неподалік від кордону з Білоруссю, на Вітебській височині на річці Мала Березина, за 68 км від Смоленська.

Історія
Перші згадки про Рудню датуються приблизно 1363 роком. Тоді назва поселення згадується як Родня (відносний прикметник від слова рід ()), що означало «родючий, урожайний» (для порівняння:  з ідентичним значенням). Сучасна назва Рудня виникла пізніше під впливом топоніма Рудня: річки Рудня з водами «іржавого» (червоно-коричневого) кольору та названих по ній селищ.

Поштовх у розвитку Рудня отримала в другій половині XIX століття, коли через населений пункт послідовно були побудовані шосе Вітебськ — Смоленськ (1856) та залізниця Рига — Орел (1868), пізніше продовжена до Царицина (сучасний Волгоград).

14 липня 1941 місто було окуповане німецько-фашистськими військами і того ж дня стало місцем першого бойового застосування «Катюш», коли батарея реактивних гвардійських мінометів Івана Флерова прямою наводкою накрила скупчення німців на Базарній площі міста. На честь цієї події в місті стоїть монумент — «Катюша» на п'єдесталі.

29 вересня 1943 року військами Калінінського Фронту під час Духовщинсько-Демидівської операції місто було звільнено силами 39-ї і 43-ї армій.

Економіка
Сьогодні місто Рудня є економічним центром тваринницького району. У місті та його околицях розташовуються підприємства з переробки сільськогосподарської сировини, такі як льонозавод, комбінат із виробництва молочних консервів і сухих овочів та інші.

Підприємства
Найбільш значущими в економіці міста та околиць є:
 ВАТ «Росевроглас» — підприємство скляної та порцелянової промисловості (хіміко-лабораторний посуд, термометри, вирощування напівкоштовних каменів, скляні пляшки та банки);
 ЗАТ «Рудняконсервмолоко» — підприємство молочної промисловості (виробництво молока та молочних продуктів) — офіційний спонсор аматорського ФК «Рудня»;
 ТОВ «Руднянський хлібокомбінат» — підприємство хлібопекарської промисловості (виробництво хлібобулочних та кондитерських виробів)
Торгові центри:
 Слов'яночка

Культура

 Меморіальний музей Михайла Єгорова;
 Руднянський історичний музей;
 Монумент «Катюша» — гвардійський міномет встановлено на залізобетонному постаменті в пам'ять про бойові дії липня 1941 року під Руднею та Оршею, коли вперше було застосована ця зброя;

3M Malaysia introduces a new tint option
Available now in all authorised 3M AutoFilm Car Centres, 3M introduces their new security film, the 3M Scotchshield Crystalline Security AutoFilm.
Ge Quee Ann, General Manager of Electronics & Energy Business, 3M Malaysia said, "In light of the daunting statistics of car break-in cases in Malaysia, safety features of window films are becoming increasingly important; in response to this need, we are proud to provide Malaysians with a solution that provides not just excellent solar heat rejection but also effective deterrent to smash-and-grab perpetrator."
The 3M Scotchshield Crystalline Security AutoFilm window film that measure at 0.1mm with tensile strength that can withstand up to 25,000psi and features Multi-layer Optical Film technology that combines over 200 layers in a film. Although it has security features such as this, the film is still no thicker than a Post-it Note. Thanks to the many layers that rejects different wavelengths of solar energy, the film provides up to 97 per cent Infrared Radiation Rejection and up to 66 per cent Total Solar Energy Rejection (TSER).
Other than that, the Scotchshield Crystalline Security film also retains the benefits of the much loved 3M AutoFilm such as 99.9 per cent Ultraviolet Rejection (UVR) protection with an effective Solar Protection Factor level of over 1000.
But apart from the superior heat rejection properties, the new film is also engineered to be tougher to enhance safety and security for the occupants. As a strong deterrent to smash-and-grab perpetrator the film holds shattered glass together with aggressive safety film adhesive which will help minimise the risk of injuries and slows down vehicle break-in attempts.
Don't worry, 3M's new film might be engineered to be tougher and stronger but the film still allows up to 69 per cent of Visible Light Transmission (VLT) and is manufactured as a non-dyed film, hence there is no risk of the film turning purple or fading. The film is also not non-metalized, allowing occupants to stay connected with zero electronic interference on their devices.
Customers who purchase the new film will receive a complimentary five-year e-warranty that covers replacement of film due to bubbling, peeling or blistering as well as 100 per cent of materials and labour. 3M Malaysia is currently offering the new 3M Scotchshield Crystalline Security AutoFilm at an introductory price starting from RM2880 for the first 100 customers.
There is also a contest happening between 1 March to 31 May 2016 where customers who tint their cars during that period stand a chance to win an in iPhone 6S or 3M AP DWS 1000 Water Filter.

Now and again, inquisitive onlookers ask me for my favourite distillery? The beauty of the single cask format means there is always variety and opportunity. Trying to format an answer to the question, my mind races through several distilleries: the glory of Tormore, the brilliance of Brora and its sibling, the robust sherry style of Glenfarclas, the fruitiness of Balblair, the joy of Springbank and Kilkerran, then the peat isle.
Ultimately there is no easy answer on my behalf. Matters are more straightforward if the question is solely focused on Japan. The immediate answer from me and I suspect from several of the MALT team would be Chichibu. This distillery is located in the town of the same name and is roughly 60 miles from Tokyo. Bursting into life in back in 2008. Ahead of the boom times, much like Fife's own Daftmill distillery, it has established itself as a notable presence in Japanese whisky by sticking to its core ideals.
We won't touch upon the background of Ichiro Akuto and his family's rich distilling heritage. We've covered the tale several times in our wee treasure chest of reviews that kicked off just over 6 years ago when Mark enjoyed the Chichibu The First release. Since then we've tried the official releases and the collector-bait single cask releases. These desirable bottles feature a knockout combination of great whisky and eye-catching presentation, wrapped up in the fashionable Japanese malt ethic. Much like Pokemon, you can try to capture them all, but it won't happen.
Sadly, word reaches us that these single cask bottlings will be coming to an end shortly with Chichibu focusing more on vatted releases, which brings its own dynamic and possible highlights. How can we forget the Chichibu Imperial Stout Barrel or the presentation in Everything About Chichibu?
The issue of the debut 10 year old blend is pending. This will at least reach our shores, or hopefully your shores. Official releases from Chichibu tend to number 9000+ in terms of outturn; giving us a chance at least of purchasing and experiencing what this remarkable distillery is producing. Unlike the single cask releases that are unicorn whiskies, adored by many who are willing to queue for hours for the chance to own such an example.
Japanese whisky is not cheap and the hype surrounding this realm shows no sign of abating, unfortunately. Victims of their own success, many distilleries have changed the formula, gone no age statement and tried to ramp up production to meet demand. Not all of these changes have been universally welcomed or appreciated. Chichibu has continued on its own journey, and the 10 year old will be an achievement, as well as a benchmark. Much like the Daftmill Summer release or the Kilkerran 12 year old. This will be the bottle in theory that showcases what a distillery, or any distillery, is all about. We look forward to moments such as this hopefully later this year.
This is a special cask sample for the Public Bar Islands Japanese bar, which is currently available at the Dornoch Castle Whisky Bar. Distilled in 2009, before being bottled on 7th May 2017 at a strength of 62.2%, from a 1st fill ex-bourbon barrel number #542. Get it while you can for £25 a measure and thanks to Phil for the sample.
On the nose: a thick and luscious arrival with elements of vanilla, banana fritter and honey. An oiliness followed by delicate spicing of ginger and sweet cinnamon before returning to caramel goodness. Time is a great revealer with traces of coconut and balsa wood coming through. There's also a rich beeswax characteristic. Water loosens things up, revealing more fruit tones, popcorn, caramel and grapefruit.
In the mouth: a gorgeous texture heralds the arrival. A marvellous combination of sweetness, vanilla, bitterness and sourness. Melon, caramel, honey, beeswax and more ginger. Buttercream and marzipan followed. Perfectly enjoyable at cask strength, we'll try some water anyway. This showcases cinnamon, stewed apple and a real waxiness.
Another very enjoyable Chichibu that continues to impress with their well crafted and flavoursome whiskies. Even at a relatively young age, there's a huge amount of flavour and texture present. With the 10 year old within touching distance finally, the excitement is building.
Selling this for £25/dram seems like charity, given the prices these bottles fetch at auction. Even when the single casks were available at the Tokyo Narita duty free, one frequently paid ¥350,000 for a bottle. While I agree that Chichibu has produced consistently excellent whisky, I wonder how you sensibly price-conscious lot assess the cost/value trade off, vs. Japanese whisky more broadly and global whisky in its entirety? Any sense of what the MSRP on the much anticipated 10 year old will be?


Skin tags are very common but harmless, small, soft skin growths. They can occur on the eyelids, neck, armpits, groin folds, and under breasts. Treatments for skin tag removal including cauterization or cutting off the skin tag. Warts are small skin growths caused by HPV infection. Warts can be treated through cauterization as well.


In a reply sentencing memo submitted to the Court on behalf of D'Souza last week, his counsel argues federal prosecutors excluded and misrepresented the facts of "similar" cases in the Government's sentencing proposal to Judge Berman, leaving out crucial facts key to fair and equal sentencing for D'Souza compared to other cases. The prosecution has a duty to present comparable cases and crimes when arguing for a prison sentence. In their presentation of "similar" cases to the Judge for consideration during his deliberation, the prosecution ignored all truly similar cases without prison time but did present cases that included prison time without a full set of facts to justify sentencing.
"The Government, in this case, has chosen to consciously omit from its submission critical facts from most of the cases they cite which make it clear that those cases are substantially distinguishable from the facts in D'Souza's prosecution," the memo states.
D'Souza's counsel provided the court with a chart detailing "the 'limited' facts from each case that the Government highlights" and then provided the missing facts the Government failed to include in order to avoid undermining their own argument against a prison sentence. With all the facts in place, the Government doesn't have a case that adds up to a sentence that includes imprisonment.
In the chart submitted to the Judge by D'Souza's counsel, you'll notice the "facts" on the left submitted to the Judge by the Government to be used for sentencing consideration. On the right, you'll find the full facts of the case the Government deliberately failed to include. Below are three of eight examples provided. You can read the rest here.
The prosecution's distortion of the facts in "similar cases" backs up long held suspicions that D'Souza was selectively prosecuted by the Department of Justice for political purposes and shows deceitful, malicious tactics being used to impose an unjust sentence.
"To be candid, counsel were surprised to see that in the Sentencing Memorandum, the Government cavalierly treats and then distorts critical issues so important to the Court's decision. In doing so, to the Government ironically provides further support for more vigorous prosecution and now, for more severe punishment than virtually any other defendant whose crime is 'similar' to that of Mr. D'Souza's, especially when his case is devoid of any element of corruption or personal greed that is at the heart of every case the Government cites," the memo states. "Indeed, so determined is the Government in its effort to convince your Honor to imprison Mr. D'Souza, that they supplied the Court with a list of cases in support of their argument on sentence parity, but did so in a manner that was disingenuous. When one carefully examines the facts in each and every one of the case cited by the government in support of their sentence parity argument, it soon becomes clear that prison was imposed in each of those cases for a variety of aggravating factors that have nothing whatsoever to do with the prosecution of Mr. D'Souza."
The government failed to present any case, all facts included, comparable to D'Souza's which involved illegally using two straw donors to donate a total of $20,000 to an ill-fated campaign. Back in May, D'Souza pled guilty to one count on federal charges detailed in an indictment accusing him of violating campaign finance laws and making false statements. D'Souza admitted in front of the Court that he did in fact ask two people to make contributions in their name and later reimbursed them, knowing it was not proper under the law. D'Souza submitted a plea deal on May 19 and the charge of making false statements was dropped. D'Souza's defense team has argued that although criminally culpable, their client should not be imprisoned.
D'Souza's counsel has asked for a sentence of probation and community service. D'Souza is set for sentencing in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, today at 9 a.m. ET. Judge Berman said earlier this year he will consider D'Souza's character and history in his sentencing.


How to Accentuate the Positive when you Struggle with Eczema.
Glass Half Empty? How to Accentuate the Positive when you Struggle with Eczema.
We hear it all the time; well-meaning advice from friends and family on how to get through the worst days. But optimism can be a tough nut to crack when your skin is so rough and sore you can hardly think, let alone sleep. Even during times of remission, the fear of recurrence can be all-consuming. Will my eczema flare up during my vacation? Will I be able to wear that white dress? Will I ever see the end of these steroid side effects?
As annoying as those well-meaners can be, they do have a point. Staying positive can have a profound effect on your emotional well-being, allowing you to really thrive in the good-times and be best prepared to handle the tough ones. But how can you accomplish it when that darned glass always looks half empty?
Sometimes we just need our pain and suffering to be acknowledged, and often our well-intentioned friends and family just don't know how to do so. Talk to your trusted circle about your needs. What will help you feel more comfortable? Is hugging ok? What about environmental triggers? Be open and calm about communicating your needs. If a gentle hand squeeze is all you really want, it's ok to let them know.
You are so much more than just your condition. You have a name, and it's not "Eczema." What other qualities make you, you? Do you rock any musical talent? Hilarious joke teller? Master cookie baker? Supportive friend? Pretty good at Jeopardy? Write it all down in a journal, and add to the list as often as you like. Glance at it in the tougher times to remember that you are so much more than your eczema.
Talking to someone who actually understands what you are going through can be incredibly comforting, inspiring, and just generally helpful. If you haven't been able to find a suitable support group in your area, go online! There are many Facebook groups dedicated to those struggling with various forms of dermatitis. Pop in and introduce yourself. It's actually very beneficial to have online supportive friends in many parts of the globe; when it's 3:00 am and you can't sleep from the discomfort, it's mid-day somewhere else. Go ahead and reach out; after all, you're not waking anyone!
People do care. Science cares. Physicians care. It may not change things today, but new research is surfacing constantly. The better we understand the root causes of eczema, the more likely we can find a true cure. Every new study that comes out means another step closer to ending the suffering.
You don't have to stay sunny all the time. Even folks without chronic illnesses have good days and bad days; you can too. If the urge to lay naked in your room, smothered in emollients, with an endless stream of Netflix feels overwhelmingly desirable, go for it. No apologies needed.
Dealing with a chronic condition can be overwhelming, frightening, and discouraging. Finding ways to accentuate the positive can be incredibly helpful, and you certainly don't have to do it alone. Reach out to friends, family, and online communities to help you through both the toughest eczema days and the blissful remission in between!
