One of the most common question I get about cycling across Canada is, "What are you doing for training?" Good question!
Each week I'm doing a combination of swimming, core strengthening and cycling on a stationary trainer indoors. At this point, I cycle or swim 5 nights a week and do the core strengthening in the mornings 3 times a week. As soon as the weather warms up a bit and we see a little more day light hours I look forward to cycling outdoors! I will start cycling to and from the office which will be about 70 km (43 miles). I will also add a long ride of 100 km or more on the weekends plus continue a night of swimming and the core strength training. I'm trusting this will give me a good foundation for the challenge of riding day after day for almost 2 months this summer!

Read what others have had to say about their guided hunt experiences!
Thanks for the unforgettable hunt! I cannot believe how close the birds came to the blinds. We actually had adult birds landing in the spread! I should have brought more 2 and 3 shot loads instead of BB and BBB. This was by far the best guided hunt I have experienced. It is obvious how much work you do to put your clients on birds. Not many guides willingly listen to ideas or suggestions from their clients. You taught me a lot about the art of getting the cautious snow goose to commit and finish into the spread. You are a very patient and professional guide. It.s a good feeling when I can compare stories with friends about their hunt and know I have shot more birds. I like having bragging rights. I have a feeling your hunts will fill up fast for next spring. Sign me up! I can't wait!
I just want to thank you for the excellent time we had spring goose hunting with you in South Dakota. I was amazed at you decoy spread and the calling technique you use. We heard from locals the night before the hunt that we were with the right guide and you proved them right. When we went into town for lunch two of us had 27 geese on the ground, another hunter we talked with only had three on the ground. At that point we knew we had made a great choice. Thanks to you for all your diligent work in your preparation of the hunting sight. We will see you next year, with more hunters with us.
Thought I would drop you a thank you note on one of the best hunts I have been on for a long time. I always wanted to do the spring goose hunt but never knew how to get started. You definitely showed me the way. You supplied everything needed to complete a great hunt, the blinds, the land, the calls, the decoys and even the birds. I have never shot so many geese in one day my entire life, and I have hunted a lot of waterfowl over the years. Your ability and attitude to supply a great hunt is number one in my book. Keep up the great work.
I hunted with Mat and his crew from Northern Skies Outfitters for several days on two different trips to South Dakota for the spring goose hunt of '09. I am a 30 year veteran to waterfowl hunting; I have never had snow geese in the decoys on such a consistent basis. On two different occasions during these hunts we had birds in the decoys, and Mat called the shot, my partner and I didn't shoot (until late) after a falling of geese and the pellets settled. Mat said "why didn't you guys shoot?" as we replied "they were to close!" These birds were 5 feet above our blinds with birds on the ground in the feeding pocket. Mat knows how to decoy birds. It was a great experience, in which I will be going back! I would highly recommend Mat and his crew at Northern Skies Outfitters to you all.
A big thank you to Nick, Cody & Jake for one of the best duck hunts I've ever had! Can't wait to come back down next year. A class act operation.
My first four curled mallard and it had jewelry.
Had a three day hunt with you guys, Awesome operation and very professional!! Had a blast the weather didn't cooperate but when does it! Thanks again it was a blast would recommend anybody to you.
I want to say Thank You to you and your guides(Davies, Nick and Pete) for an outstanding hunt. You are running a top notch operation. I've never seen so many snow geese, you had us right in the middle of the flights day after day and your guides certainly know how to bring them down into shooting range. We enjoyed hunting with your team and especially like watching the dogs work. Nick's dog Jake was amazing.
We really had a great time, learned a lot, shared some stories, good laughs and shot a bunch of snow geese. What a great trip. We will definitely be back next season.
I hunted this past weekend with you all in Beau Harvey's group. I just wanted to send you an e-mail telling you what a great time we all had. Even though the weather and hunting was anything but good, it was another trip with Northern Skies Outfitters that we will never forget. Your guides and their personalities/attitudes toward hunting are one of a kind. After last year we knew that you and mike were a blast to hunt with. And this year we saw just how unbelievably cool Davie and Samson were as well. We had a blast hunting with you all and hanging out saturday night.
The stories from this weekend will not be forgotten anytime soon and will the subject of many laughs for years to come. Another thing that will not be forgotten is how you all went above and beyond to make sure we experienced a quality hunt. Most outfitters wouldn't have cared how our hunt turned out after collecting our money. We are hunters, and we know that the weather is what it is and is completely out of your hands. The fact that you and your guides volunteered to guide us on Tuesday for free to make sure we experienced a great hunt was unbelievable and will not be forgotten. You are all great guys, and you run a first-class operation. I can tell you that as long as I continue snow goose hunting I will be going with Northern Skies Outfitters. Again, thank you for everything. Good Hunting!

Thanks to keep this opensource.
I am using i00 Spell check in my project.Testing for now.
I will download and try. Thanks a lot.
Is there a way to check and see from within vb.net, if there are any misspelled words then if yes, run the spell check.
I am also using this spellchecker (love it ease of implementation) but I have the same question reagrding if there is a way to count the number of errors in a textbox.
Whoops ... must have missed this post. Oh well!
I installed the spellcheck project in a WinForms .NET 4 app and when I run it from VS2010 it works fine, but when the app is deployed using ClickOnce it doesn't work in the deployed app. Deployment settings all look good. I converted the i00BindingList and i00SpellCheck projects to Class Library projects and the DLLs are included in deployment.
Any ideas on how to make that work?
I havent used click once myself.. But it is because by default it will not include the dic or def files.
OK, that did it. I created a setup project instead and published that way and now it is working. Thanks for the tip. I am now using SpellCheck in my project.
Congratulations, i used it with a Portuguese dictionary but the letters with accents just appear as interrogation icons. Is there a way to bypass this issue???
Can you send me your dictionary to check?
What one do I grab from there?
Do you have any trouble running the demo?
Have you tried following the instructions under Implementation?
I'm using iOOSpell Check. Thank you!
I am using this in my project...and it's awesome.
Thank you for providing this source code!

To nominate someone for this award, please see the criteria and form below. Winners will be honoured at an International Women's Day celebration on March 5, 2015 at the National Library and Archives Canada. Nominations must be received by February 9, 2015.
CRITERIA FOR THE FEMMY AWARDS
The Femmy Awards are intended to honour people located in the National Capital Region who have made outstanding contributions to the struggle for women's equality. In order to be considered for the award, a nominee must:
Identify as a woman and/or other marginalized genders
Identify as a feminist (We realize that some wonderful people and equality activists do not identify as feminists. However, we maintain the "F-word" has a proud history and we'd like to keep using the word "feminism" to describe the struggle for women's equality for now.)
Be located in the National Capital Region (We'd love to honour people located elsewhere, but it is just not possible for us logistically. So we challenge other groups celebrating International Women's Day to host their own Femmy Awards and honour their own feminists across the country! For any inquiries or assistance with this, please feel free to contact us.)
We welcome nominees of any age, with a diversity of experiences (volunteer and/or professional), including in the following areas:
Activism / Advocacy – nominees may include activists and advocates that have contributed to women's equality (e.g. through legal, housing, economic, policy, and/or other supports/means)
Education - nominees may include educators that have contributed to women's equality (e.g. teachers, instructors, professors, facilitators)
Health – nominees may include individuals that have contributed to women's physical, mental, sexual and/or reproductive health (e.g. feminist counsellors, social workers, doctors, nurses, NGO staff, etc.)
Media – nominees may include journalists, columnists, bloggers, or other individuals providing feminist media commentary (e.g. someone often quoted in the news and/or contributing Op-eds)
Research – nominees may include researchers that have contributed to women's equality (e.g. academics, graduate students, NGO, think tank or union staff)
These are just a few examples, and certainly not intended to be an exhaustive list of possible contributions. We welcome you to nominate anyone that you believe has made a significant contribution to women's equality in any other area on a local, regional, national or international level.

Polymer resin repair of rock chip costs about $70
ICBC to reinstate free windshield chip repairs
Transportation Minister Todd Stone says ICBC and its optional insurance customers will save money
Feb. 8, 2017 11:00 a.m.
Repairing rock chips at no charge will save ICBC and its customers money on windshield replacement claims, the Crown insurance agency says.
ICBC CEO Mark Blucher and Transportation Minister Todd Stone announced the new program in Kamloops Wednesday, saying it will save 8,000 windshields a year from being sent to landfills.
Details of the program won't be released until later this spring, but ICBC optional insurance customers with vehicles up to 8,800 kg gross vehicle weight will be eligible, covering many light commercial vehicles as well as personal vehicles, Blucher said.
Windshield replacement claims jumped 17 per cent in 2016, and replacement costs have risen 28 per cent since 2010, according to ICBC. The average cost of a windshield replacement last year was $820, and a chip repair can be done for about $70.
ICBC customers with $300 deductible collision coverage pay $200 for a new windshield.
"The new program will have many benefits for our optional customers, including having no impact on their claims history or deductible," Blucher said.
ICBC basic insurance rates are going up 4.9 per cent this year, a ceiling imposed by Stone as accident and personal injury claims continue to rise.
Stone said in an interview the harsh winter in B.C.'s Lower Mainland means windshield claims are likely to continue at a high rate, while the number of glass claims in the Interior has been "relatively flat."
NDP critic Adrian Dix said the BC Liberal government introduced the charge for windshield repairs in 2001, and have been dinging customers ever since, especially in rural areas where rock damage to windshields is most prevalent every year.
"They have been sticking it to people in the Interior for 15 years, and now, a couple of months before the election, they decide to reinstate the NDP's policy," Dix said.
ICBC uses revenue from its optional coverage to subsidize basic vehicle insurance, and the offer of free windshield repairs may attract some people to switch from private competitors.
Stone said more than 80 per cent of B.C. drivers already have optional coverage through ICBC, and that share has been increasing in recent years. The main reason for the offer is an expected saving of $8 million a year by avoiding windshield replacements, he said.

The PRP hair loss therapy is not an alternative to hair transplantation and is not at all a quick fix for hair loss as it can take as much as three months for a person to start growing hair normally after undergoing the procedure. In addition, it is after the three month mark that it is decided whether or not a patient needs to undergo another session of the treatment. The PRP hair loss treatment is quite effective as a standalone treatment for hair loss.

I read the Top Secret book I mentioned last week, my lips remain firmly sealed 🤐, but OMG I loved it.
2001. Age is catching up with Robert Finlay, a police officer on the Royalty Protection team based in London. He's looking forward to returning to uniform policing and a less stressful life with his new family. But fate has other plans. Finlay's deeply traumatic, carefully concealed past is about to return to haunt him. A policeman is killed by a bomb blast, and a second is gunned down in his own driveway.
Both of the murdered men were former Army colleagues from Finlay's own SAS regiment, and in a series of explosive events, it becomes clear that he is not the ordinary man that his colleagues, friends and new family think he is. And so begins a game of cat and mouse "a wicked game" in which Finlay is the target, forced to test his long-buried skills in a fight against a determined and unidentified enemy.
The dark and glittering new novel from the Sunday Times Bestselling author Kate Hamer is as gripping as it is gorgeously written – the perfect second book from the author of The Girl in the Red Coat.
My thanks to Karen at http://www.orendabooks.co.uk, for my stunning hardback signed copy of Rupture by Ragnar Jónasson which I won over on David's blog http://bluebookballoon.blogspot.com/ so a huge thank you to David too.

Take Back the Comics
by smcquade on September 28, 2014 in Reflection
Last Tuesday, in what was perhaps the most impassioned and content-driven conversations of our class thus far, we discussed the implications of a feminist reading of Watchmen and its characters. Our discussion was civil and lively, with many students engaging the text critically in way that had been somewhat lacking up to that point. It was a fruitful discussion that seemed to open the door for further discussion by breaking away from the perception of the novel as some untouchable masterpiece, instead revealing it to be a work with flaws just like any piece of human creation.
But just as our discussion brought more of our class into conversation with the comic, similar discussions across the medium and across other mediums traditionally associated with "nerd culture" have been met with hostility and derision from certain corners of the established fan-bases for these forms. It is undeniable that these subcultures, formerly dominated by white males, have received an influx of women, people of color, and sexual minorities over last several years as the internet, Hollywood movies, and big video games have exposed more and more people to these formerly cult interests. More and more people have come to understand the appeal of comics, gaming, midnight movies, and other geek-pleasures. But as these new participants learned as they experienced this new world, most of these genres took little to no interest in realistic and positive portrayals of their lives and experiences, often reducing them to functions of plot, sexual objects, token members of the group, or any number of other roles, some empty and generally innocuous, but some actively disparaging and sexist/racist/homophobic etc.
And so many of these new members of the culture set out to try to improve their depictions, some by writing or otherwise creating their own art, and others by engaging in conversations about the works much like we did. To most, this is an obvious and constructive process for any medium hoping to improve and become a part of more people's lives. But the backlash to this movement has often been swift and vicious. Just recently, (presumably) male video game fans instigated a large scale assault over the internet towards female game developer Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian in #Gamergate, which exposed a huge undercurrent of violent sexism in certain online circles. In addition, there have been a series of public outcries over the announcements of a new Hispanic Spiderman and a female Thor, among countless smaller examples on the internet which show how deep these issues run.
I should be careful here to indicate that I of course do not mean to insinuate that any male fan of comics or gaming is sexist or racist, as that is obviously untrue. But it is fairly undeniable that these issues exist and are persistent in the community. Ultimately, if the culture surrounding these mediums is to evolve, we need more conversations like the one our class held, and we need to make clear that a feminist critique is not meant to disqualify an entire work. People who want to see more stories about female characters don't think we shouldn't have stories about males. A person can admit that Laurie's portrayal in Watchmen is deeply flawed and that the text has issues with women while also loving it and being dazzled by its artistry and floored by its complexities. If we all allow for more discussion, and the validation of more viewpoints, comics will be all the richer for it.

Burn My Heart
Hardcover- What does it mean to be loyal? Mathew and Mugo, two boys—one white, one black—share an uneasy friendship in Kenya in the 1950s. They're friends even though Mathew's dad owns the land and everything on it. They're friends despite the difference in their skin color. And they're friends in the face of the growing Mau Mau rebellion, which threatens British settlers with violence as black Kenyans struggle to win back their land and freedom. But suspicions and accusations are escalating, and an act of betrayal could change everything.
Internationally acclaimed, award-winning author Beverley Naidoo explores the fragile bonds of friendship in this stunning novel about prejudice, fear, and the circumstances that bring people together—and tear them apart.

When We Were Outlaws
Author: Jeanne Cordova
Publisher : Spinsters Ink
Imprint : Spinsters Ink
Publication date : December 2011
Availability date : January 2012
Author : Jeanne Cordova
A sweeping memoir, a raw and intimate chronicle of a young activist torn between conflicting personal longings and political goals. When We Were Outlaws offers a rare view of the life of a radical lesbian during the early cultural struggle for gay rights, Women's Liberation, and the New Left of the 1970s.
Brash and ambitious, activist Jeanne Córdova is living with one woman and falling in love with another, but her passionate beliefs tell her that her first duty is "to the revolution" –to change the world and end discrimination against gays and lesbians. Trying to compartmentalize her sexual life, she becomes an investigative reporter for the famous, underground L.A. Free Press and finds herself involved with covering the Weather Underground, Angela Davis; exposing neo-Nazi bomber Captain Joe Tomassi, and befriending Emily Harris of the Symbionese Liberation Army. At the same time she is creating what will be the center of her revolutionary lesbian world: her own newsmagazine, The Lesbian Tide, destined to become the voice of the national lesbian feminist movement.
By turns provocative and daringly honest, Cordova renders emblematic scenes of the era—ranging from strike protests to utopian music festivals, to underground meetings with radical fugitives—with period detail and evocative characters. For those who came of age in the '70s, and for those who weren't around but still ask 'What was it like?' –Outlaws takes you back to re-live it. It also offers insights about ethics, decision making and strategy, still relevant today.
With an introduction by renowned lesbian historian Lillian Faderman, When We Were Outlaws paints a vivid portrait of activism and the search for self-identity, set against the turbulent landscape of multiple struggles for social change that swept hundreds of thousands of Americans into the streets.


Fasting is extremely difficult for her – can she not fast?
I suffer intense thirst during the day in Ramadaan, to such an extent that I vomit and become dizzy and feel weak all over my body. This makes me drink water only, and I feel very sad because of this action of mine. Please note that I offer all my prayers on time and I recite adhkaar and read Qur'aan regularly.
Allaah has permitted those who are sick not to fast in Ramadaan.
The sick person for whom that is permissible is the person who has a real illness for whom there is the fear that it may be made worse or that his recovery may be delayed, or a sickness that is expected to occur because of fasting. We have explained that in the answer to question no. 12488.
Based on this, if fasting causes the questioner to vomit or become dizzy because of physical weakness, there is nothing wrong with her not fasting in Ramadaan, but she has to make up the fasts, if she is able to. If she is not able to, then she must feed one poor person for each day.
What is the ruling on one who breaks the obligatory fast because of thirst?
The ruling is that it is haraam for one who is observing an obligatory fast – whether in Ramadaan or making up a missed fast, or observing an expiatory fast, or fidyah – to break this fast. But if his thirst is so intense that he fears that he may be harmed or may die, then it is permissible for him to break the fast and there is no sin on him, even if that is in Ramadaan, if it is so bad that he fears he may be harmed or may die. Then it is permissible for him to break the fast. End quote.
Majmoo' Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 19/question no. 149.

Q: XCode: Debug => "Simulate Location" menu item not available (greyed out) I cannot seem to add any simulated location to the simulator, as the corresponding menu is completely greyed out, as shown in figure:

the location works well when debugging with the actual device.
any idea?

A: The iOS Simulator must be running your app before that menu will be enabled. For me it appears immediately after a successful build.
If it's proving inconvenient to make a selection in that menu between build of your app and it's launch, I would recommend setting a default location via Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme. You can then select your preferred default in the Run / Options panel after checking the "Allow Location Simulation" box.

Roll up! Roll up! It's time to enjoy reading.
That's the message it's hoped a circus-inspired book zone will spread.
A group of Blackpool dads has created the interactive puppet stage at Revoe Library to make dipping into a book more fun for youngsters.
The project, which is in the children's section of the library on Revoe Street, is part of a scheme led by Blackpool Better Start.
Dads unveiled the installation this week. It is seen as a way to kickstart speech and language development among pre-school tots.
To add to the celebrations, the Fathers Reading Every Day project was also launched at the library.
It is the fourth reading programme held by Better Start as part of an initiative which has seen 60 dads register for the course.
Sharon Mather, community development manager at Better Start, said: "It's been fantastic how Blackpool dads have embraced the library installation projects and this is the third amazing installation they have created.
"By working with Blackpool Illuminations team, Lightworks, and two local artists, these dads have learnt new skills and have also helped create an exciting space in Revoe Library that will hopefully attract more families to the children's section.
"We are also excited to launch phase four of our very popular programme Fathers Reading Every Day.
"Since we first launched this programme last year, there has been a marked increase in the number of Blackpool families using libraries across the town.
Better Start aims its services at children aged four and under.

Le château de Mézières est un château situé sur la commune de Mézières dans le canton de Fribourg en Suisse. C'est un bien culturel d'importance nationale.

Histoire
Le château de Mézières est situé sur une position stratégique très ancienne, puisque les restes d'un grand établissement romain ont été retrouvés à cet emplacement. Le nom de Mézières est attesté dès 1179 dans le Liber donatium de l'abbaye de Hauterive.

Le château est cité dans les chroniques dès la fin du . Il est possible qu'il s'agissait à l'origine d'une simple tour carrée servant de fort d'arrêt à proximité de la ville de Romont, avant que le bâtiment subisse différentes transformations entre le  et le  pour aboutir au château actuel, à savoir une maison à deux étages dotée d'une tour polygonale. Les archères en croix au rez-de-chaussée de cette tour remonteraient au château du . Jusqu'en 1544, la famille de Bonvillars détient la seigneurie de Mézières, passée aux mains de Fribourg en 1536 à la suite de la conquête du Pays de Vaud. De 1627 à 1654, puis de 1756 à 1871, le château appartient à la famille de Diesbach. D'importants travaux sont entrepris entre 1777 et 1789.

Au , le château appartient à la paroisse. Dès 1971, le bâtiment est à l'abandon. En 1972, il fait l'objet d'une mesure de classement par le Conseil d'État. Dès 1983, il figure sur la liste des maisons rurales à protéger.

En 1989, on entreprend un inventaire des lieux qui révèle la présence de 27 papiers peints différents datant des . Le château se trouve alors dans état déplorable. En 1994, la fondation Edith Moret-Château de Mézières voit le jour. Des travaux de restauration sont entrepris en collaboration avec le Service des Biens culturels du canton de Fribourg.

Depuis octobre 2007, le château abrite le Musée du papier peint de Mézières.

Compliance Advisory Ombudsman review of standards for Bank's private sector lending
27 April 2009 | Minutes
The Compliance Advisory Ombudsman (CAO), the compliance mechanism for the IFC will be holding a review of the IFC's performance standards. The CAO review will take place parallel to a review that the IFC will undertake itself. It is not clear as to exactly how the two reviews will be linked. However, the CAO will make comments on the IFC review report to the Bank's board and on management's response to the overall review. Furthermore, the Independent Evaluation Group of the Bank will be carrying out an analytic review of safeguard policies across the World Bank Group including public and private sector lending, scheduled to be finished in December of this year.
The CAO's review will primarily be based on the voices and experiences of affected communities. The review will therefore focus on implementation of existing performance standards rather than looking at whether or not the performance standards encompass all of the issues they should. It will assess policy areas of most direct impact on project affected communities as well as the effectiveness of local stakeholder engagement.
The objectives of the review include:
Positive development impacts
Transparency and predictability of outcomes and processes at project level
For communities and companies
The CAO is asking for;
Civil society inputs/ interest in contributing to the review process
Topics/ issues of most interest and concern
Input on how to encourage participation of and access to host communities to promote collaborative learning
CAO plans to have a review report at the end of 2009, which will go to the President of the Bank. Then it will be made available to the Board and the public.
The CAO is currently solidifying its concept note on the review which it aims to submit to the IFC roughly between the end of April and mid-May and particularly welcomes input from civil society with respect to design of the review in this time. From July to September, they plan to review their portfolio of cases brought to the complaint mechanism as the basis for their review, as well as supplementing it with information from communities outside of that portfolio.
For information contact: Julia Gallu at the CAO, JGallu1@ifc.org


Maukinrich Plantation 1856 OS 6 inch 1st edn.
This name has to be compared with the field-name Makimrich, Fala and Soutra MLO. Norman Dixon describes Makimrich MLO as 'apparently a name of popular origin applied, perhaps ironically, to land of very low feu-duty' (Dixon 1947, 192). In her discussion of Makimrich MLO, Carole Hough is sceptical of Dixon's interpretation, seeing the name rather as entirely positive, in the same class as the field-name Make Me Rich in the West Riding of Yorkshire, explained by John Field as 'a complimentary name for a productive field' (Hough 2001, 44, quoting Field 1972, 132).
However, the existence of the place-name Mackimrough # KTT (PNF 2), which appears as Mak em Rough 1775 Ainslie/Fife, and Mackimrich or Mackimrough 1816 Sasines no. 11124, opens up the possibility that names such as Maukinrich and Makimrich originally derive from Sc mak him ruch 'make him (or them) rough', vividly, humorously and pejoratively describing rough, difficult land. It has to be said that straightforwardly complimentary field-names in Scotland, especially those consisting of a verbal construction, are rare (see Pilkhambrae ATL for more on these names; see also Taylor 2008 (Gelling Festschrift).

Roma, Benny Hill style: why film-makers hate Netflix's fast-forward button
Interview: Pedro Almodóvar
Close Reading: Martin Eden
Present Tense: Audience vs. Alone
'It is what it is," says the union boss Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino) during a tense pow-wow in the forthcoming gangster drama The Irishman. To which the mildly perplexed crime boss Anthony Provenzano (Stephen Graham) replies: "What is it?"
The same question might well be asked of Netflix. On one hand, the streaming service has stumped up the readies to enable some of the world's finest film-makers to work without cuts or compromises: not only Martin Scorsese, who couldn't get the $160m needed to make The Irishman from anywhere else, but Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story), David Michôd (The King) and Fernando Meirelles (The Two Popes). But then Netflix goes and spoils it all by saying something stupid like: "Who has time to watch movies anyway?"Advertisement

Antonio Banderas and Pedro Almodóvar on the set of Pain and Glory (Pedro Almodóvar, 2019)
In his feature in the September-October 2019 issue of Film Comment, Michael Koresky writes: "Pedro Almodóvar leans into the pain with his new film Pain and Glory, his most autobiographical to date. Structurally, the genre is a no-brainer, perhaps, for a writer-director who has long preferred to tell stories centrifugally, spiraling out from a revelatory center rather than having finite beginnings and endings. Almodóvar's movies of the 21st century especially, such as Bad Education (2004)—with which this film shares a strong kinship—Broken Embraces (2009), and The Skin I Live In (2011), have consistently moved away from linearity, as though coasting on the waves of memory...
Images from Martin Eden (Pietro Marcello, 2019)
After saving Elena Orsini's (Jessica Cressy) brother from a beating, Martin Eden (Luca Marinelli) is invited for lunch at the siblings' posh family estate. That's where he makes his first mistake. Though the fact that Martin is unafraid to throw a punch is appreciated, his brawny physicality becomes a liability with a bowl of pasta in front of him; elbows on the table, a nervous smile on his face, he eats with an animation that Elena's mother notes with alarm. "Education is important, is it not?" she asks him pointedly. To which Martin responds, grabbing a piece of bread and sopping up the tomato sauce on his plate, "If education is the bread, then the sauce is poverty...
At the Cannes Film Festival, where Bong Joon-ho's Parasite won the Palme d'Or, the director asked critics not to reveal anything about the film past the initial setup. One of the joys of going to festivals is that you can discover movies without noisy criticism getting in the way of your own first impression. So fair warning: if you want to replicate that experience, don't read this piece until you've seen Parasite, because I'm going to give a great deal of the game away. It's too extraordinary a film to dance around.
Late in the twisty, class-warfare family tragicomedy that is Parasite, Ki-taek, the head of a family of four that never had much and now has lost every bit of that, is lying on his back on the floor of a crowded shelter, next to his wife, Chung-sook; his son, ...

Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (Chantal Akerman, 1976)
The first time I saw Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles was years ago in a packed theater in Chicago. The film came weighted by its own reputation. I went in intimidated (I had found much of the writing about it to be incomprehensible, albeit intriguing). I have seen the film many times since, but when I think about the first time I remember one thing and one thing only: when Delphine Seyrig, busy in her cooking routine, dropped a fork, a woman a couple of rows away from me, who was also probably seeing it for the first time, gasped in terror...

She appears from the dark or she comes in mist. She's out of the past or here from lands unknown. She's not of this earth anymore, yet she has a distinct effect on the material world. The attraction-repulsion she instills is born of sensuality as much as fear, and her threat almost always descends upon a living woman. Who is she, or who was she? These are the basic questions for a strange subgenre of horror movie that materialized in '40s Hollywood.

In Jessica Sarah Rinland's new film, Those That, at a Distance, Resemble Another, an elephant's tusk becomes an object of dramatic intrigue. Furthering the Argentinian-British artist-filmmaker's interest in nature, zoology, and the art of preservation, this globetrotting work of creative nonfiction—Rinland's first feature following a decade of formally adventurous short and medium-length films, gallery work, and photography—skillfully traces the production of a replica pachyderm tooth dating from the late 19th century...
Deep Focus: The Kill Team
Writer-director Dan Krauss, in his gutsy first feature, The Kill Team, puts a revelatory speech in the mouth of a gung-ho soldier named Rayburn (Adam Long) as he relaxes at an army base in Kandahar after gunning down a blameless Afghan teenager. Platoon-mate Andrew Briggman (Nat Wolff) knows that Rayburn is part of a plan to kill innocent civilians as a sociopathic sport, a rite of passage, and a statement that American troops can get away with anything. When Briggman asks Rayburn how he feels after his first kill, Rayburn's answer serves as an oblique confession: Rayburn says his father once explained that when the Union Army executed spies, one member of the firing squad got a gun with an empty round, known as "the conscience round." We might think that helped to allay the rifleme...

Club as Player Manchester City [Coach]
Son Colin Rosler
2013 11 15 Retrieve
[Uwe Rosler says Son Colin faces different challenge at Man City] People always ask me how I would do if I was a player at City now. Obviously some of the City players now are breathtakingly good but the training and fitness regimes are not comparable with my time. Doing what they do, we would have been better players as well. How far I would have gone? I cannot answer that. But, when I compare my training to the training my son receives, it is from a different planet
[Then there were the secret police, who tried to recruit Rosler to spy on his team-mates] I was frightened my career would be over because I said no, but my dad and my coach protected me
[far from feeling envious of the opportunities and rewards offered to today's youth, Rosler feels he had it easy compared to players trying to forge a career now] These days I think it is very difficult to be a young player
In Western Europe, not just in England, their life is a totally different environment to the one I grew up in. I was very fortunate to grow up for 20 years in a different political system. I had far less disturbances and distractions than they face in society now. Then there is the influences of elements like parents, agents, money and girlfriends. It is easy to say that young players are pampered and they have it easy now. I see it quite the opposite, I think they have it quite hard. You need to have a strong will to succeed no matter what. I was very focused on what I wanted to do. To be selected for the school I went to was a privilege but to stay there was very tough. One year I had injuries and feared I would be axed, but living under that sort of pressure shaped me
The competition is much harder than it was when I was growing up. Back then, the best local kids would play in a team, and then there would be the best from your district. At the very top, you would be against the best kids in the country. Now, wherever you are playing, you are you competing against a kid from China or Africa or anywhere in the world
n Western Europe, the young kids have a relatively high standard of life. When they come from other countries, they are with their backs against the wall and they do everything to succeed because they have got nothing to go home to. It is sometimes hard for the Western kids to match that hunger
[City are a prime example of a team who no longer just mine for local talent] I think if you are at City you have been chosen on merit and obviously Colin has a chance, but the bar is so high. It is going to be very difficult for him, you have to be honest. But what you know you get from City is a very good football education and, if you work hard you can make a living from football elsewhere. It is going to be very difficult for him, you have to be honest. But what you know you get from City is a very good football education and, if you work hard you can make a living from football elsewhere.
[Uwe Rosler on Man City fans' special bond and raising another Blue legend] I didn't win the Premier League, I didn't win the FA Cup, but I am very happy that I won a lot of hearts of the supporter. City never forgot me and I never forgot them. I think I was very fortunate to play in front of the old Kippax and in a stadium that had 35,000 people singing from every corner. That has disappeared, unfortunately. So I feel really privileged to have had that time.
[His love for the Blues even led to the naming of his two sons, and he jokes that his Norwegian wife had no say in the matter] Yes, there was no option. I said if we have a girl, you can decide. She said she would call her Chelsea. I said: 'I don't think so'
[Ghana attacker Tekpetey unavailable for Fortuna Dusseldorf on Bundesliga return] For Dawid Kownacki, Bernard Tekpetey and Zack Steffen the game comes too early after their injuries. Captain Oliver Fink left the team quarters for personal family reasons. Marcel Sobottka has finally got really fit and is training very well. But also Adam Bodzek is back in team training and is doing really well right now. The same applies to Alfredo Morales
[The German top-flight is among the first few football leagues globally to make a return after the coronavirus disruptions] I still don't have a clear idea of how the entire matchday will go. I can't really imagine the feeling in the minutes before the kick-off. We are in good shape as we can be in the current situation. Everyone knows that it is a very important game. We analysed Paderborn and we know how we can attack them
[As part of strict protocols for the return of Bundesliga, matches are set to be played behind closed doors while each team will be allowed to make up to five substitutions per game] Every player copes with a situation that has never existed differently. You have to understand that. I am therefore trying to send the players on the field who can best deal with this situation. Among other things, we use the time in the team hotel to keep our players up to date. There will be the last conversation tonight - after that we will focus on football

A jury awarded nearly $2 million in damages Monday for the families of two women killed in the collapse of a building in the 2003 San Simeon Earthquake, saying the building owners were negligent in failing to reinforce it. The verdict in the civil wrongful-death trial included an award for each for the surviving parents of Jennifer Myrick and for the surviving daughter and husband of Marilyn Frost-Zafuto.
Myrick, 20, and Frost-Zafuto, 55, died while trying to flee the historic Acorn Building in downtown Paso Robles during the magnitude-6.5 quake. In finding for the plaintiffs, the jury decided property owner Mary Mastagni and several trusts and businesses owned by her family were responsible for the 111-year-old Acorn Building and were negligent in its maintenance and operation.

In addition to finally seeing a relief from the unending heat of the summer, there's another reason to look forward to the upcoming seasons — energy savings. If you follow the fall and winter energy-saving tips that we've outlined below, you'll help the environment while lowering your monthly energy bills.
Plan for scheduled maintenance — To keep your heating equipment in good working order, you should call a professional technician for a tune-up. In addition to improving its energy efficiency, a tune-up will prolong the life of your system.
Know when to replace your furnace — Many homeowners continue to use old furnaces that are far past their prime because they don't want to deal with the cost of a replacement. What they don't realize is that an old system that isn't operating properly is wasting money every day it's in use. While it's true that the purchase of a brand new furnace will set you back a bit, newer models backed by Energy Star are more efficient than ever before. Which means you'll save energy and money for years to come.
Switch to CFLs — If your home is still full of incandescent light bulbs, you're wasting a lot of energy for no reason. These traditional bulbs have been replaced by more energy-efficient types such as CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps), which use considerably less energy to do the same job.
Unplug your energy vampires — If you're not familiar with the term, energy vampires refer to devices that continue to use a small amount of energy despite being turned off. These include cell phone chargers, printers, DVD players, and many others. To stop this from happening, what you want to do is either unplug them or group them together with surge protectors and switch off each unit when its components are not in use.
Purchase a programmable or Wi-Fi thermostat — Although there are several fall and winter energy-saving tips that you can follow, an especially important one to consider is the installation of a more advanced thermostat. Both programmable and Wi-Fi models give you the ability to set the times in which your heating equipment is in operation, but if you decide to go Wi-Fi, you'll get the added feature of being able to make changes remotely, either through an Internet or Wi-Fi connection.
Lower your water usage — If you pay attention to your water usage, you'll not only save money on that front, but you'll also lower your heating bill. For example, we all love long, soothing showers, but this can easily use a lot of hot water, which needs to be replaced. To solve this problem, you should cut your showers short. Another technique is to limit washing clothes and dishes to times when you can provide a full load. And don't forget to switch to low-flow shower heads and toilets, whenever possible.
Mind your fireplace — The techniques that you employ to save energy and money via your fireplace depends on whether or not you plan for it to be in operation during the fall and/or winter. If you plan to use your fireplace, then you should clean its chimney to allow for more air flow, thereby improving your home's energy efficiency. If you don't plan on using it, then it's a good idea to plug and seal the fireplace flue.
Pay more attention to your water heater — The first thing you should do with your water heater is make sure that its temperature setting is on medium. The high setting will waste energy and often cause the water to scald you. The medium setting (120 degrees) is ideal. Plus, you should wrap a blanket around the water heater in order to insulate it.
Consider alternative heating and energy — There are many fall and winter energy-saving tips available, but few of them will help save the environment while lowering your energy costs. Many households have already discovered the fascinating world of geothermal heating, which can save you loads of money. The best way to prove your solidarity with those who want to save the environment, however, is to install solar panels. These panels will allow you to save quite a bit of money, and you may even be able to sell some of the energy to your local power company.

Becky just called me with the news that Matt had boarded the flight to Milan. The Loerke clan had some passport issues but those apparently were resolved since everyone was able to board the flight.
Becky also passed along that the flight had been delayed 30 minutes. Apparently, the airport in Milan – Linate – is struggling with a horde of breeding rabbits. The hares are a hazard to landing and departing planes.
Things have become so serious that officials have taken the unusual step of closing Linate for three hours – from first light on Sunday – while a team of local wildlife experts try to catch the 80 or so hares that have been causing the problem.

Beloved Washington store owner gunned down years after escaping North Korea for a better life
Posted 1:58 pm, May 1, 2019, by Tribune Media Wire
PUYALLUP, Wash. - Beloved Puyallup store owner Soon Ja Nam, who was gunned down during an armed robbery Saturday night, escaped from North Korea more than 50 years ago in search of a better life.
Her son, Tohyon Nam, told KCPQ she and her husband made it to South Korea, where Soon Ja Nam became a college professor. Still, she wanted more for her family.
"Through that hardship of occupation, hardship of war, blowing up bombs here, bombs there, she survived all that," Tohyon Nam said. "She brought us here."
Here in Puyallup, over the decades the Nam family made the Handy Corner Store a neighborhood hub, riding on the smiles and kindness of Soon Ja Nam.
"Everyone around here loved her," customer Nancy Prime said. "It's a small area. We all knew her. We all loved her."
The 79-year-old matriarch was shot and killed just after 5 p.m. Saturday when two men robbed her at the Handy Corner Store.
Witnesses told investigators two men entered the store, pulled out handguns and threatened Nam, but even after she gave them the money one of them followed her toward the store office and shot her in the back.
Pierce County Sheriff's Detectives have found the getaway car used by the suspects. They are only saying it was found outside Pierce County thanks to tips.
The two suspects are described as dark-complected black males in their 20s, approximately 6 feet tall and 200 lbs., wearing beanie caps and white hospital-style surgical masks. The shooter was seen wearing a gray hoodie, black sweatpants, and gray tennis shoes. The driver had a scruffy beard and was seen wearing a blue hoodie, gray sweatpants, and white shoes.
Soon Ja Nam's family reopened the store just hours after she was murdered, thanks in large part to the immediate outpouring of support from the neighborhood and the financial need to continue the work Soon Ja Nam loved.
"These people here saved us," Tohyon Nam said.
Tohyon Nam and his father, Joseph Nam, are overwhelmed by the support from the Pierce County and Puyallup communities. Not just the flowers, but cards, letters and more that continue to pour in since she was gunned down Saturday night.
Even if detectives catch her killers, Joseph Nam said justice won't bring him any closure.
"It doesn't matter to us they get caught or not, it doesn't bring my wife's life back," he said.

Three best friends are going to the fashion party today. Unfortunately, they have overslept and know girls need to find what to dress in a hurry, otherwise they will come later. Girls, let's help those three fashionitas and choose best outlooks for each girl! Have fun!


Recently I've been working on some 3D files for a couple pieces of GB equipment and got to thinking about the concept of creating 3D references for everything. The plans we have on the site are extremely dated given the resources we have today and it would be great for the community to work on improving this.
I'm currently testing this with some other smaller pieces, but I was wondering if someone who has access to a PVS-5a frame, Mirax, lenses, or anything else associated with the goggles would be willing to snap several dozen photos at various angles to help in digitizing the Ecto Goggles.
As a result the community would have 1:1 scale reference to either print, fabricate, or duplicate them, especially given their increasing difficulty to find these days. Also, if we have success with this it could lay the framework for other items such as the Giga meter, PKE, knobs, etc.
Have you tried to get a pair of Mattel Ecto Goggles to scan?
"Do still have your wallet ?"
While more readily-available, they'd present a rather distorted depiction of the AN/PVS-5 frame if scanned.
Just tring to help. Its just that AN/PVS-5a goggles are hard to come by for less than 100 dollars.
Oh yeah, not trying to dissuade you, it's just that they'd need modifying in order to remove the battery cover and other compromised details.
Ideally, we'd be able to have someone with a real pair help out rather than use something else. The goal being that no modifications or alterations would be needed as they're a 100% accurate representation of the frames.


Pakistani Fans Mock Virat Kohli And Company : The ICC Champions Trophy 2017 final didn't prove to be a happy affair for India as it lost by 180 runs to it's arch-rival Pakistan who completely out played India in ever department of the game. The 'Beta-Baap' rant which Sehwag initiated before the tournament is now being used by Pakistani fans to troll us. In a rivalry as intense as this, these moments are bound to happen. Pakistani Fan Asked "Baap Kaun Hai?"! Here's How Furious Mohammed Shami Reacted!
These sort of things happens in a big match like this but one thiing Pakistani fans must remember is that Indian team also put in good efforts to reach this level. If not in cricket, India defeated Pakistan in hockey and we are all are happy with that.

Yesterday I was having some work done at the car dealer. A blonde woman came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. They all looked at each other, and one of the mechanics asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?" She replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine. I lost it and need a new one. It had always been there." The mechanic gave the woman a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car which had the hood up and asked, "Is there a 710 on this car?" She pointed and said, "Of course, it's right there."
Was it because she was blond or the fact she was a she?
It was worth it though. Hey, if you can't pick on people what's the sense of doing anything.
Talk about your conspiracy theory. Sheesh. For the record, nads are not a viable target.
it's either that or shoot you..
I the way you think!
As for the choices, let's see. Both are equally deadly and being shot is definitely a quicker way to go. That answer the question?
CRC, you'll know when we meet. I'll be the guy hiding in the tank with the full plated cup on.
Besides, you wouldn't hurt me. I'm too purty to hurt. I'm so purty, I'd make a freight train take a dirt road.
Definitely know what you mean. Also have seen some of those too. The kind that would make a freight train back up and take a dirt road.
