1. Employees' Rights
If a transfer of a business as a going concern takes place, unless otherwise agreed, the new employer is automatically substituted in place of the old employer in respect of all employment contracts in existence immediately before the date of transfer and all rights and obligations between the old employer and an employee at the time of the transfer continue to be in force, as if they had been rights and obligations between the new employer and the employee.
The buyer of the transferred business (the new employer) must provide employees with terms and conditions that are generally not less favourable than those that applied before the transfer. However, the buyer can transfer employees to different retirement plans or similar schemes. Employees cannot be dismissed due to the transfer of a business or any reason related to the transfer. A dismissal that breaches this provision is automatically unfair.
2. Requirements for Predecessor and Successor Parties
Unless otherwise agreed, the acquiring employer is automatically substituted in the place of the selling employer with respect to all contracts of employment in existence immediately before the date of transfer. All rights and obligations between the selling employer and an employee at the time of the transfer continue in force as if they had been rights and obligations between the acquiring employer and the employee. The acquiring employer thus automatically becomes the employer of all the employees employed in the transferring business.
The law requires that employees transfer either on the same terms and conditions of employment or on terms and conditions of employment that are (different but) on the whole not less favourable. This does not prevent the acquiring employer from transferring employees to a different pension, provident or similar fund, provided the provisions of section 14(1)(c) of the Pension Funds Act, 25 of 1956 are complied with. The Pension Funds Registrar must be satisfied that any scheme to amalgamate or transfer funds is reasonable and equitable, and accords full recognition to the rights and reasonable benefit expectations of the persons concerned in terms of the pension fund rules, and to the additional benefits which have become established practice.
Where the employees' conditions of employment are determined by a collective agreement, the acquiring employer must comply with the conditions of employment in the collective agreement, that is, the acquiring employer does not have the flexibility to offer different but 'on the whole lot less favourable terms and conditions.

A couple of days ago, Pisen had announced that it will announce a bunch of new products at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, and that is exactly what happened. The company has announced its 4-port 20,000mAh portable chargers, wireless chargers, Quick Charge 3.0 chargers, and 2-in-1 Power Bank series at CES 2018. IN addition to that, the company also announced that its 3C-EASY mobile repair service is coming to the US, read on.
Unfortunately, the company did not share any detailed info regarding its new products at the time, but the list above is somewhat self-explanatory, if Pisen does share any more info in the near future, we will make sure to let you know. This company is one of China's largest digital accessories manufacturers, and it is selling its products in a number of countries all around the world, including Europe, the US, Australia, a number of countries in Asia, and so on. Pisen did not say when will its 3C-EASY mobile repair service hit the US, but the company did offer its service to CES 2018 attendees in order to show them what they can expect Pisen to offer in the country. Pisen's 3C-EASY service will help you out in case you need help with your smartphone, and Pisen claims that prices will be quite affordable. The company did share some images from its booth at CES 2018, which you can check out down below, and it is worth noting that Pisen will be at CES until January 12, so if you're attending, you can always visit the company, it is at booth no. 35767, South Hall 4, in Las Vegas.
In addition to announcing that new products are on the way, and announcing that its 3C-EASY service is coming to the US, Pisen also shared a promo video on YouTube. That video has been embedded down below, for your convenience, and it will share more info regarding this company with all of you. Not only about the company, but its products, and its 3C-EASY service, so check it out if you're interested. That is more or less it, at least for now, Pisen will probably share more detailed information regarding its new products and service in the near future, so stay tuned.

I had initially went in to have the oil changed in my daughter's car. When the technicians at Midas did their over all check and got to her tires, they found them to be in ruins-beyond repair. It was serendipitous that I had schedules an oil change because the tires would not have lasted much longer than a few days. It was fortunate they didn't blow out on my before I reached the Midas' garage. They had the tires I needed in stock and within 2 hours I was out with 2 new tires and the initial oil change.

How social media impacts our lives today
2015 was the year that the 'Instagram Husband' was born. A tongue-in-cheek video that was created to highlight partners who are stuck miserably photographing their loved ones. The video has had more than 4.9 million views and many can relate to the video saying 'That's me! Or – that's my husband!' and that includes me!
Social media not only affects our personal lives but our work environment as well. Social is one fantastic platform to elevate your brand, interact with your customers and start business conversations. Many companies are now buying advertising space and budgeting this into their marketing plans, changing the way we do business. By 2017, social network advertising spending is estimated to reach $35.98 billion, representing 16.0% of all digital ad spending globally. bit.ly/1cwyiWg
A great example are the John Lewis Christmas adverts, in 2014 'Monty the penguin' saw its hashtag mentioned 97,257 times within the first 24 hours. The 2015 'Man On The Moon' was mentioned on social media nearly 40,000 times within the first few hours. There were 39,872 mentions of the ad's hashtag #manonthemoon on Twitter, including mentions of the teaser hashtag #onthemoon. It was a talking point on all social media platforms and helped make the campaign very successful for John Lewis. bit.ly/1PhBZz0
Social can make a campaign go viral, one of my favourite campaigns #Likeagirl for Always hit over 60 million views on YouTube in 150+ countries. Always were in need to appeal to a next generation of consumers in the face of growing competition from rivals. The award-winning response was the Always #LikeAGirl campaign turned into a phrase that had become an insult into an empowering message.
In our personal lives it use to be very difficult to find and connect with people that you once knew in school or college. If you moved away you would lose touch with people permanently. Now with social media platforms such as Facebook and Skype, it is easy to reconnect even after a lot of time has passed. Some could argue this is not a good thing!
The question is…does social media do more good or harm? How much time do you spend on social media everyday compared with how much time you spend with your real friends or family? If you are anything like me, you check your phone regularly – first thing in the morning, during every ad break on TV and before you go to bed at night. But I am not the only one, the average person has five social media accounts and spends nearly 2 hours a day browsing these networks, accounting for 28% of the total time spent on the internet. bit.ly/1Ghui7C
Social media has changed our lives, I know that I wouldn't live without out.

Westport school board narrows in on K-6 model
WESTPORT — Three months after Coleytown Middle School closed due to health concerns related to mold, the school board is closing in on a decision about where to house Coleytown' students next school year.
This coming Monday, the Board of Education will likely vote to place all of the town's seventh- and eighth-grade students at Bedford Middle School while the incoming sixth-graders will do another year at their respective elementary schools, BOE Chairman Mark Mathias said.
"This would be a K-to-sixth proposed model, which means everything they have now, plus hopefully more," Saugatuck Elementary School Principal Elizabeth Messler told the school board at their Monday meeting.
The sixth-grade would not be secluded, but "part of the fabric of our school," added Messler, who presented the model with her fellow elementary school principals.
Superintendent Colleen Palmer said the K-6 model is her recommended plan after her first choice option — creating a temporary school for the town's sixth-grade population at a rented facility — fell through. Despite contracting with a realtor to look for space that could house the proposed "sixth grade academy," each available space had prohibiting factors, such as safety concerns with locating the academy on a busy road.
"There's a lot of challenges when you try to put a school into an office building," Mathias said, noting none of the spaces had a gymnasium or cafeteria. Several of the BOE members said the sixth-grade academy was also their first option but, absent the miracle opening of a perfect space, is likely not a viable plan for the coming school year.
Ever since Coleytown closed, all of town's sixth- and seventh-grade students have been located at Bedford while the eight-grade is being housed Staples High School, but Palmer said she does not endorse this option for another year out of concern for the social and emotional health of sixth-graders who may not do well in a large middle school environment.
"If we're going to stay in this interim plan for several years, I worry about the sustainability of this and feel the elementary would offer us a more comfortable environment in which we could support the academic program of our students," Palmer said.
Palmer urged the school baord to vote on the K-6 option as soon as possible in order to give her administration enough time to prepare the plan, which would entail adding modular classrooms to several of the elementary schools and potentially laying off some Coleytown staff.
The estimated cost of the K-6 plan with staff savings would be $730,000 in the first year of the program, Palmer said.
Several parents said they were concerned about the loss of elective classes and after-school enrichment opportunities under the K-6 model.
"There's no obvious, perfect situation, and we have to make the decision," BOE member Candi Savin said. "It's uncomfortable, and I don't think it's going to be any more comfortable sometime in the future."
The BOE will meet on Dec. 17 to vote on the K-6 plan.

text: I have three blades (two sabres, one foil) all electric. I use two prong and I've gotten sick of constantly repairing my cords. Is it worth the $80 to upgrade all my blades to bayonet and get a cord, or is it better to just buy a few new 2-prong cords that are high quality or just continuously repair my current ones?

Selena Gomez, purveyor of some pretty perfect pop has gone and unleashed debut solo album 'Stars Dance' following the on/off relationship between her and global teen heartthrob Justin Bieber.
Lead in by breakout single 'Come & Get It', we were very excited about this new solo venture for the pint-sized princess, but has her album fallen at the first hurdle? Or is it an unparalleled success?
It's a bit of both really – a lot of the songs on 'Stars Dance' are pretty fantastic. 'Come & Get It' is a bhangra-pop blast that has remained a summer radio staple for weeks and there are some must-be-singles on the record. Standout favourite 'Forget Forever' may have leaked a few months ago but it's lost none of its power or punch, the song a dance-pop ditty that is all about getting over a perfect relationship turned sour and deserves to be played all over the next few months.
Selena trades in a lot of her previous sweet pop credentials for some slick dance grooves and the odd glowstick thrown in for good measure. 'Save The Day' is a proto-J-Lo tune with plenty of fierce Latin grooves, 'Undercover' is a dance gem and album opener 'Birthday' is a catchy, snarky and snappy pop tune that sounds like Sleigh Bells and Britney had a love child. Best of all might just be the bonus tracks – 'Nobody Does It Like You' and 'Music Feels Better' are some solid, catchy pop-dance productions that should have made their way onto the standard edition.
Not every tune is a winner mind you – there's some generic stuff in the record with tracks like 'B.E.A.T.', the title track and 'Like A Champion' that fail to make any kind of impression. Fortunately it's largely solid throughout with sole ballad 'Love Will Remember' being a sweet ode to the Bieber/Gomez relationship, proving that Selena has a touch of class regarding past beaus.
Overall, the album is very solid and dependable, if a little unimaginative in parts. If you're expecting a big 'tell-all' record about the on/off relationship between Biebs and Selena, then you're going to be out of luck. Sure she touches on it, but this largely a fun, summer party record, and we couldn't be happier.
'Stars Dance' is out Monday 22 July. Listen to 'Forget Forever' below:

I've been in Leeds for thirteen days now, and all I can say is wow -- INFORMATION OVERLOAD!
I thought I had a decent idea of all the things I'd have to adjust to when I arrived, but I've been amazed at how many small differences have taken me aback (like, in what context do I use "cheers?" thanks? excuse me? goodbye? You tell me, I've heard it used as all three).Keep reading to find out what has surprised me and what I've struggled with so far. Also stick around to the end for a picture dump from a day out and about Leeds. Read More... https://thisisreallife.blog/2019/02/04/insights-from-my-first-two-weeks-in-england/

Stuart Binny was picked up for the test series and T20I series by the selectors of this West Indies and USA tours.
But Binny doesn't able to make his place in the playing XI in the test side because of other experienced spinners and all rounders.
But in T20 as a fast bowler all rounder, MS Dhoni and Indian team management give him a chance in Playing XI and when MS brought him on bowling then it was just unforgettable 5 balls for him.
In 11th over of the match he gave away 32 runs in his 1 over. If he gave one more length ball at last then Lewis may join the Yuvraj Singh's record.
By doing this over it seems like to be Binny now seems to be out of the Indian for a long time cause no doubt he is good all rounder but 32 runs not good at all.
And the impact directly shown on the second T20I and MS Dhoni directly pick the most experienced IPL spinner in place of Binny.

What You Can Expect: When sailing St. Lucia, it's easy to understand why it is popular with sailors. It's a fantastic mid-point to explore the Grenadines and exciting Caribbean islands. Get to know St. Lucia's Rodney Bay in the north, where you can discover the Pigeon Island National Park, or visit Vieux Fort Wetlands in the south. If you like hiking, try the Gros Piton Nature Trail between the Pitons' volcanic peaks for one of the most impressive views in the Caribbean. The best snorkeling in St. Lucia can be found at the coral reefs near the sandy beach of Anse Chastanet, Anse Cochon, Marigot Bay's natural harbor, Castries and Rodney Bay's Reduit Beach. From tropical fish to turtles and even dolphins, there's much to see. If diving is your passion, head to the sloping wall which drops to 1,500ft at Petit Piton. Once you've explored St. Lucia's wonders, you can cruise the many nearby islands. Head on up to Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Antigua, St. Bart's, St. Martin and the British Virgin Islands. Or you can head down to St. Vincent, Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, Union and the special Tobago Cays Marine Park with its five uninhabited islands. Some of the best snorkeling and diving in the Caribbean can be found near St. Lucia. Itinerary: Day 1: Provision in Rodney Bay, a wonderful Caribbean harbor, and eat at the restaurants and try the cocktails at the many sailor bars. Head to nearby Pigeon Island to explore Pigeon Island National Park. The reserve has beautiful beaches, military ruins at Fort Rodney and fantastic views at Signal Peak, where you can sometimes see Martinique. Day 2: Sail to Pitons Bay, just on from Soufriere, and hike along the Piton Mitan ridge between Petit Piton and Gros Piton, two volcanic plugs with emerald green peaks that rise from the aquamarine sea. They are the highlight landmarks of St. Lucia and you'll get an amazing view of the bay from the ridge or wonderful photos of these titans from the bay. On the way to Pitons, stop at Anse Cochon for some of the best snorkeling on St. Lucia with its colorful, tropical fish. Day 3: Clear customs, sail past St. Vincent, stopping for lunch if the mood takes you, and head to Bequia's Admiralty Bay. Find some of the healthiest coral in the Caribbean at the Wall, where you might see turtles, lobster, rays and eels in the deep blue 130ft drop. You'll find it at the southern tip of the island around West Cay. If you love conservation, head to Old Hegg turtle sanctuary which rescues hawksbills. Day 4: Set sail for the wonder of the Tobago Cays Marine Park with its archipelago of five uninhabited islands, amazing coral reef snorkeling, turtles, iguanas and mangroves. Visit the Baradel Turtle Sanctuary, Petit Tabac, where the Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed, and hike the trails on Petit Rameau, Petit Bateau and Jamesby. Day 5: Sail to one of the best Caribbean diving locations at the coral reef at Mayreau Gardens. Stop off at Salt Whistle Bay, a beautiful anchorage where you can enjoy a beach bbq or a lively beach bar atmosphere. Mayreau is undeveloped and sparsely populated so you can really get the remote island experience. Day 6: Sail to Blue Lagoon marina on St. Vincent, visit Fort Duvernette "Rock Fort" on the nearby islet next to Young Island. From here you can have a wonderful view of the Grenadines where you'll find awesome snorkeling too. Day 7: Set off early for the wonderful harbor of Marigot Bay on St. Lucia where the electric blue sea is flanked by vivid palms right on the beach. Historically it's seen battles between the English and the French navies, but today it's a popular location for the movie industry and has been the setting for Pirates of the Caribbean and the 1967 movie adaptation of Dr. Doolittle. Sail back to Rodney Bay and disembark.

Additional Terms & Information
Frequently Asked Question Everything you need to know about bareboat yacht charters. What is a bareboat yacht charter? A bareboat yacht charter is where you hire the boat for you and your guests and intend to sail yourself or hire one of our skippers to sail it for you. Where do you offer bareboat charters? We have +50 destinations worldwide and +1,000 yachts, including the Caribbean, Bahamas, Pacific, Indian Ocean, Asia and the Americas. What licenses do I need to hire a yacht and sail myself?

To charter in the Mediterranean, you must hold an ICC (International Certificate of Competence) or RYA Day Skipper (minimum) qualification. One sailing license is mandatory for bareboat charters in Italy, Sweden, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Seychelles, Montenegro, Brazil, Thailand and Spain. The original certificate must be taken with you on your charter. We advise you to contact our team about your qualifications and the destination requirements before booking. By accepting the yacht contract you are confirming that you and/or members of your crew are capable and competent to sail the yacht in the conditions and cruising area of charter.

It used to be that the Skoda was a car that was routinely laughed at for being of poor quality but those days are long gone and the company has totally transformed its image. So much so that Skoda cars are at the backbone of the UK taxi industry with a large proportion of taxis on the road being made by Skoda.
This is a situation that would not have been foreseen a few decades ago but it indicates the complete turnaround that the Skoda group has managed to achieve with their car production. Of course, this is due to the fact that cars are made by the VW Group but it shows that a brand name can revitalise itself with hard work and solid promotion.
The Octavia is one of the most popular cars around
The Skoda Octavia is very much associated with taxis in the UK and it is very likely that this make of car is frequently used in your area. The safety and reliability of the Skoda brand, in conjunction with a fair pricing policy, has made them obvious choices for any driver in the taxi industry.
It is the reliability that makes them so popular
It is the reliability that is offered by the Skoda Octavia that makes so valuable to taxi drivers. These cars can be relied upon to work when they are needed and even with extensive miles on the clock they show no signs of faltering. There is a very good reason why the Skoda Octavia is one of the most popular taxi car around and it is because they can be relied upon.
Even allowing for the great reliability of a Skoda car, it is still essential for a taxi driver to have valid Skoda taxi insurance. Not only is it a requirement but it can provide a degree of comfort and security if they are unable to work for any reason.

Are human brain processes, like intuition, creativity, imagination and the ability to create art, computable processes?
Are human brain processes, like creativity, intuition or imagination, computable processes?
1$\begingroup$ I... don't think I'd say that the ability to create new algorithms is necessarily algorithmic, since the term "algorithmic" sounds to me like it would involve a fixed, standard "recipe". I'd personally say that algorithms may be created algorithmically (by algorithms), but they may also be created in ways I would not describe as "algorithmic" (but more... almost an art? imagination? intuition? I dont know, I feel like we dont have sufficiently strong definitions for these words). @DukeZhou We're currently working on a related system named Ludii :) $\endgroup$ – Dennis Soemers Jan 22 at 20:57
$\begingroup$ Not quite an answer, but I recall a paper (I forgot the detailed methods) that demonstrated that random object naming (name as many different dogs species as fast you can) behaved like a random walk on WordNet! $\endgroup$ – k.c. sayz 'k.c sayz' Apr 20 at 23:15
1$\begingroup$ A proper answer would probably say "we don't know" or "clarify what you mean by algorithm" $\endgroup$ – k.c. sayz 'k.c sayz' Apr 20 at 23:16
$\begingroup$ @ k.c.sayz'k.csayz' """clarify what you mean by algorithm" "" : computation $\endgroup$ – alamata Oct 10 at 20:20
1$\begingroup$ @alamata computation is more ill-defined than algorithm. an algorithm is, roughly, any finitely decidable procedure of logical operations. again the notion of "computation" is trickier to define: you could say that a rock is computing the identity function, you just need some consistent "interpretation" of the rock's computation. Brian Cantwell Smith also notes this: that you need some "decidable interpretation" of the world before you can decide over it using logical operations, which means that we can't naively call cognitive processes algorithms unless such an interpretation emerges. $\endgroup$ – k.c. sayz 'k.c sayz' Oct 11 at 1:14
The answer to this question can be very subjective and depends upon the situation. Scenario 1: When we were toddlers, we learnt a new language(our mother tongue) automatically just by listening to the people around us talking. We did not have to put much of any efforts into this. A similar situation is, when we practice something, we tend to get faster and more accurate in that than before, automatically. Scenario 2: When we think about something creative, or make some decision, we don't always follow a defined way, and can even come up with ideas which was not there before.
In short, processing of human brain is as complex as it can get. Defining any process algorithmic, puts a strong bound on it's scope, and the working of brain is way beyond than that.
3$\begingroup$ Algorithms can be arbitrarily complex. I don't think that the algorithmic view of the brain is necessarily limiting, unless proven otherwise. $\endgroup$ – nbro Apr 20 at 20:08

Hi! As some of you will discover I am a very, very busy woman. I'm a mother to a wonderful 5 year-old little girl who is about to start her first year in public school (Ahh!); a wife to a wonderful husband (who is also my second child!) with whom I have been with for 10 years - married for 5; a full-time employee for a newly launched, independent government-contracting corporation; a part-time student who is only three classes away from finally completing her Bachelors; not to mention a daughter, sister, and niece to a wonderful set of amazing people that I love to call my family! Did I mention I was busy!?
egan History
A little over four years ago, Rory Freeman's Skinny Bitch book landed into my lap (thanks to my momma) and changed the way I thought about food and my health. After learning that what I had been eating all this time was actually overly processed, man-made crap; and after learning about the shocking, cruel treatment of animals in our factory farms, I immediately went cold turkey and started my journey as a newborn vegan. I began researching, learning and understanding about where my food was coming from and the impact that food had on my health. I soon became health obsessive, lost 30 lbs and became my own version of a Skinny Vegan B*tch. Five years later, I'm still that. But my transition didn't just transform me; it changed the life of my husband, my daughter and many more around me. The term "vegan" no longer stands as a description of my "diet"; it is a word that describes my life. It is my life. I am vegan and vegan is who I am. Without it, I would not be the person I am today – an outgoing, food obsessed, cook who is a strong advocate for eating organic, local, raw foods that supports and promote the health of our planet and our whole beings.
My "DIET"..it's all about health!
As you will come to find my main reason for following an 80/20 raw, vegan diet is health. Animal rights and ethics are very important to me as well, but health is my main focus. I believe that food is the strongest form of medicine when we allow it to be. I believe it can heal the body from the stress and damage caused by the Standard American Diet (SAD) and the processed crap that we have been "trained" to eat. I'm also very supportive of taking GREEN actions that support the health of the environment and our planet including reducing the use of plastics and recycling , just to name a few. I also only use all natural beauty products. What we put ON our body is AS important as what we put INTO our body! I am the modern, vegan HIPPIE! My part of "the plate" will revolve around these topics…but don't be fooled, I still enjoy eating out every now and then and enjoying a vegan pizza and brownie! I'm not super strict! I follow what I call the "5 days, 2 days" policy - 5 days strict, 2 days 'laxed. I do have to live a little and enjoy life. I can't let Kerry have ALL the fun now can I!? ;)
In addition, I'm not exactly the "ideal" raw, vegan. In other words, I'm not a believer that everyone MUST follow a raw, vegan diet in order for a person to be healthy and in order to fight and push for animal rights, food labeling and other health and food related issues/concerns that I strongly advocate for/against. No, I believe that everyone must find a diet that is right for their body; that supports their body and the way that it functions. I do, however, believe that plant-based foods are the basis of such a diet and that all foods should be sourced locally, when possible, and be organic, sustainable, ethically treated, fair trade (when necessary), and in its purest, whole form..all when possible of course!
How we met from MY perspective!
Ready for a laugh? So a few months ago the hubster called me at work overly excited that he had met someone, a new co-worker, who was not only into soccer, but who was also a vegan. Oh, it was a SHE. My initial thought was, yeah, vegan my butt. Does this mean I have to store a hidden camera in his backpack or collar button? Great! In other words, jealousy kicked in. But I went with the flow, said "cool", told him it was okay to give her my contact info and thought nothing more of it. Then she contacted me via Facebook and we immediately hit it off! We had so much in common! Soon after I was THANKING Tim for introducing us. Now I'm sure he's slightly regretting it as his babysitting duties have greatly increased as my new friend and I explore the vegan world that is hidden within the DMV and the Nation. We realized our new adventure needed to be documented and so began The Split Plate!

Here, against a deadly mix of cultures--the Egyptian, with a mighty past echoing in a chaotic present, and the indolent, arrogant British--Freeman (A Hollywood Education, 1986, etc.) plays out the farcical-to-tragic consequence of an unlikely triangle: a young, mercurial King Farouk; a British High Commissioner, a rock of Empire; and a beautiful woman beguiling both. Twenty-two-year-old Jimmy Peel, the first of several narrators, is assigned to tutor the 15-year-old Farouk, presumably in the classics. But it soon becomes obvious to Jimmy that the British High Commissioner, Sir Malcolm Cheyne, hopes to ``colonize'' Farouk and make him ``one of us.'' The prince, cosseted, denied nothing since birth (although ignored by his kingly father), is charming but tunes out anything that doesn't claim his wayward interest. His English-izing starts at a British prep school in 1936 when his father dies, and when the still young Farouk becomes king. Meanwhile, Sir Malcolm, a widower with two daughters, has married the dazzling, adoring Vera, 30 years his junior. Vera then steps forward to narrate her initial days as Lady Cheyne: her careful stepmothering, her official duties, and-- bemused and enticed by the unmistakable infatuation of Farouk--her erotic adventure. Eventually, the bond between Sir Malcolm and Farouk (a new kind of father, a new kind of son) frays and breaks, as do treaties and mutual accommodations, while the affair of Farouk and Vera becomes dangerously obvious. Jimmy will barely escape with his life as the Germans advance, while the isolation of the king (with his Axis leanings) uncorks smoldering hatreds toward the English, and Cairo is swept by riots. A stylish, startlingly inventive evocation of a pre-Nasser Egypt, with a stunning cast, all of whom are, in different ways, ultimately trapped by their appetites or wilfulness. A classy, exciting entertainment.

Even Stephanie Miner admits that her campaign for governor is a moonshot.
As the former mayor of Syracuse and onetime top official in the state's Democratic Party, Ms. Miner is intimately familiar with the machinations of New York politics. She knows how hard it is to go up against a politician like Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, with his multimillion dollar war chest and formidable name recognition.
That's why, when she announced in June that she was running for governor on a fledgling third-party line, political observers were befuddled, wondering why Ms. Miner, a self-described pragmatist, would take on such a quixotic task.
Ms. Miner says she wants to disrupt the two-party system, which she blames for corruption, inefficiency and divisiveness. Her running mate, Michael Volpe, is a Republican. They will run under the ballot line of the Serve America Movement, which aims to provide an alternative to the traditional parties.
But she has also been known for years as an outspoken critic of Mr. Cuomo — a rarity among the state's Democrats, who fear retribution from a famously vindictive governor.
Ahead of November's general election, which Mr. Cuomo is heavily favored to win, Ms. Miner spoke to The New York Times about her unorthodox campaign, her bad blood with the governor, and why, despite polls predicting she will capture just 1 percent of the vote, she thinks the race is worth it.
The following is an edited and condensed version of the conversation.
Q. You had to know coming in that it was going to be a long shot. Why did you jump in anyway?
A. I knew all along that it was not going to be easy, but it's important. It's important to stand up for values particularly when it is not easy. I feel very reassured at the frustration that people have over the corruption that is almost daily now in New York State. And I feel reassured that people want to have a better government.
We are living in a time of tremendous divisiveness. I feel that being able to stand up and talk about that — that there's a way that we can be constructive in this divisive environment — is also important.
But so many people think the country is becoming more polarized than ever, and that people are just retreating into their respective political corners. Do you think there's an appetite for what you're selling?
I think that there is an appetite for it, but I have to talk about it. You have to remind people: Are we really going to be able to solve our problems if we just label everybody and then don't talk to everybody because they don't get a 100 percent on our litmus test?
Look at what's happening in our state. We're not solving problems. Victory in our political climate is when you have a snarky 30-second sound bite.
Victory should be accountability for a failing transit system, for a million people leaving New York, for one out of every two children in the major upstate cities being born into poverty. Saying, 'These are my ideas to stop this.'
Both parties have been complicit in this culture of corruption and politics as usual in Albany. It's both parties that have refused to do anything to change it.
When you say snarky sound bites, are you talking about the governor's attacks on Marc Molinaro, his Republican opponent?
Correct. I think if you're running for office, you should be talking about your ideas, not just attacking your opponent in vacuous smears and overstatements.
How much of your run has to do with your own contentious history with the governor?
It doesn't, it really doesn't. I decided to run because of my experiences as mayor of Syracuse. When I said we should be investing in infrastructure, he said, 'Build your own pipes.' Or I was talking about the need for innovation in education, and they took money away from our schools. When we were talking about income inequality, we were told instead that economic development projects like film hubs would be transformative.
Those solutions, they were not serious, they were not solving problems, but they were good optics. I have a seriousness of purpose about public policy and accountability and transparency that I think puts me apart from the current administration.
You have long been a registered Democrat. For voters who are trying to find the candidate that best aligns with their ideology, where would you put yourself in relation to Governor Cuomo?
There is no ideology that works 100 percent of the time. What works is when you convene people and ask them to use their best brainpower. I am a pragmatist that believes in solving problems to help people.
Several of your biggest supporters, including the leadership of SAM, the group under whose banner you are running, come from Wall Street. Do you think that's what voters want, or has that affiliation become toxic?
I don't think voters care where your money comes from. I really don't.
I do not accept contributions from LLCs, and I think voters think that there is a broken campaign finance system. But they are much more interested in talking about the substance of your ideas than they are in talking about where the money comes from.
And, that's where the money is. That's where people have income to donate to campaigns, so that's where you go to fund-raise.
Under New York's unique election laws, if you win at least 50,000 votes on your independent run, your new party, under SAM, will be guaranteed a spot on the ballot for the next four years. How much of your run is about laying the groundwork for SAM's future?
It was definitely a large part of my consideration. This platform of a ballot line can be used to advocate for real change, whether that be in having higher ethical standards for governance, fiscal responsibility and a seriousness of purpose.
Your platform highlights a lot of economic issues. Where do you stand on the social issues that have become so important — and divisive — in recent years?
The beauty of having a 16-year track record is that I've already taken positions, separate and apart from being a gubernatorial candidate. I've stood with Planned Parenthood numerous times. Syracuse was a sanctuary city. I have a strong platform on public education. I have stood up actively and said we have to end cash bail now.
Have you had support from other elected officials?
Privately, yes.
But no one is willing to come out and stick their finger in the governor's eye?
What will you count as success in this campaign?
I think it already has been a success, because I've had a number of people who have become engaged in the process who were not before, and who were feeling very cynical about it. We've been talking about real issues of substance. On the professional level, being able to advocate for these serious issues is rewarding.
And on a personal level, I have met lots of very thoughtful and interesting people who want to be involved in making the system better.
There are multiple ways to measure victory in this kind of race. One of them is to say, were we able to galvanize people who will continue to say, 'We're not going to sit by and normalize corruption as a part of our democracy?'

Meet the Staff: Yazz James' Top 5 Films
The task of picking my top or favorite films is one I both love and hate. I could talk about films I treasure for hours, but having to pick out a mere five really is a challenge. As cheesy as it sounds, cinema has been a part of my life pretty much forever and the past three or so years have made me realize that it always will be. My list of favorites constantly changes depending on my mood, what's going on in my life and new releases or discoveries, so consider these my top five films at this present moment.
The Most Beautiful Film I've Ever Seen:
Her (2013)
Spike Jonze's unconventional love-story is one I was never sure I'd enjoy but ended up adoring. In my opinion, Her is the pinnacle of visual story-telling; Hoyte van Hoytema's camera work, teamed with stylistic color palettes and costuming, stuns me every time I watch. The film explores loneliness and connection, with van Hoytema's careful close-ups and sweeping skyline shots evoking the same juxtaposing feelings. The warm tones and softer light give the film a dreamy feel and offer a sense of comfort to contrast the melancholic moods. Love and heartbreak have never seemed so beautiful.
Honourable mention: Moonlight (2016)
The Films That Made Me Fall in Love with Movie-Making:
Nightcrawler (2014)
Dan Gilroy's incredible directing debut, Nightcrawler, haunted me for months after I left the cinema, and the crumpled, now-discolored, ticket is still stuck up on my bedroom wall. The thriller features my favorite Jake Gyllenhaal performance with the sunken-eyed Louis Bloom. Bloom is a dedicated, freelance journalist, constantly illuminated by the neon lights of the city as he searches for new crimes to capture on his camcorder. His obsession with getting the best and most shocking footage consumes him more as the film ticks on and provides an insight into the sensationalized nature of modern news. With beautiful cinematography and an incredibly well-written anti-hero, Nightcrawler was one of the first movies to make me speechless about filmmaking as an art form.
La La Land (2016)
Although this may seem an unimaginative choice for one of my top five films, I could never create this list and ignore my most re-watched film. After seeing Damien Chazelle's 2014 masterpiece, Whiplash, I returned home, blasted the soundtrack and began researching his future projects. A quick search meant that I came across the synopsis for La La Land which, at the time, was simply something along the lines of "a jazz pianist and aspiring actress fall in love and attempt to pursue their dreams in LA." Jazz? Aspiring actress? Love? Chasing dreams? I was sold. La La Land was released in the UK in January and as soon as I had a break from school and a little money, I booked myself a cinema ticket. As soon as the film began, I was in love; the use of CinemaScope, bold and bright colors, over-the-top sequences, romanticized settings and score had me obsessed. I was unable to talk about much else for the rest of the year and this only got worse when I somehow ended up stumbling across the Lighthouse Cafe and Hermosa Beach Pier when visiting California later in the spring.
Honourable mention: Rear Window (1954)
The Screenplay I Wish I'd Written:
Before Sunrise (1995)
Due to my age (nineteen) and the number of stereotypical 'hopeless romantic' characteristics I possess, it's no surprise the first film of Richard Linklater's 'Before Trilogy' is a favorite of mine. Before Sunrise is essentially one long, beautifully natural conversation between Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) in which they somehow talk about everything and nothing. Finding a person you have immediate chemistry and potential with is rare, and the romantic drama highlights how this initial moment is one to be cherished and extended to its full potential. It's a story of stolen glances, over-sharing and poetic discussions, which finds the perfect balance between being realistic and idealistic.
Honourable mention: Rushmore (1998)
My Favorite Film:
Dead Poets Society (1989)
If you've ever asked me my favorite film, I'd have most likely responded with this title. Dead Poets Society is one of the most 'Yazz' films I've ever seen, and its place in my top five probably says a lot about me as a person. I was fourteen when I first encountered the film whilst going through my now rather comical '80s obsessed phase'; I'd seen a lot of John Hughes' work and was ready for something different when I saw the title pop up in various "Top Movies of the Eighties" lists. This coming-of-age story is one for romantics and anyone needing an inspirational boost; with speeches on poetry, passion and love, teenage boys rebelling against their parents and phenomenal performances from Robin Williams and Ethan Hawke; it's heart-warming, heart-breaking and everything in-between. I tend to watch it every few months or so as a grounding tool and a reminder to do what I love in life.
Honourable mention: Call Me by Your Name (2017)

The 4 Most Misunderstood Zodiac Signs
Being misunderstood doesn't stop when you become an adult. And for certain people, the gap between intention and impact is especially large. Communicating what you mean can be difficult. The most misunderstood zodiac signs know this all too well.
Being misunderstood can be something that happens in a moment, like when you slip up on some words. This kind of feeling, however, can feel more chronic for people with certain personality types.
"We've all been there: the moment when we're misunderstood," astrologer Cindy Mckean, tells Bustle. "Often it rolls off easily like water off a duck's back. But when someone is misunderstood by the great majority of people the great majority of the time, the misunderstandings might simply be a matter of perception. Whatever the reason, astrology can help us understand the motive behind their actions." If you're feeling a particularly schism between you and another person, there's a chance you simply aren't understanding them as deeply as possible.
While anyone can go through life feeling misunderstood, these four zodiac signs may be particularly inclined to experiencing this. Whether it's due to moodiness, a dark sense of humor, or a monotone affectation, these sun signs have to work harder than others to get their feelings across.
Here are the four most misunderstood zodiac signs, according to experts.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Known as one of the more moody sun signs, Cancer, experiences misunderstandings due to the fact that other signs can't quite follow the seeming unpredictability of their feelings.
"Most people don't understand [Cancer's] moodiness," Mckean says. "[…] Cancer isn't good at explaining themselves either. The more you are with the Cancer, the easier it is to understand them, to the point that they are predictable in a comfortable way." Luckily, Cancers are also good at reading a room and can reign it in if needed.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Scorpio's fierce privacy and mysterious nature make them a more obvious example of a misunderstood zodiac sign.
"Scorpios love their privacy and to keep information close to their chest," Mckean says. "Shrouded in mystery, they tend to be misunderstood. But that's OK because this works out the way Scorpio likes it." They enjoy being an enigma, and will be fiercely loyal to anyone who can crack the surface and love them for who they are.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Capricorns don't always try to fit in. Because of this, they can sometimes be misread by those around them who aren't on the same wavelength.
"Not only is Capricorn often misunderstood, but they are also misread," Mckean says. "[…] They might come across as sticks-in-the-mud, but they really aren't. Capricorns are one of the most sincere signs in the zodiac. They enjoy originality but love structure. Thus, they don't do much to compromise or try to mold themselves to suit those around them, but they also don't interfere." They may seem uninterested in people around them, but to the Capricorn, they're simply letting those around them be themselves.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Aquarians simply see the world differently. They don't mind if you don't understand, but you likely won't.
"Aquarians live in tomorrow […] Their ideas are often novel and unique, as if they speak their own language, which often leads to misunderstandings. As independent souls, they don't want to have to explain themselves." They have their own style of thinking, and don't really feel the need to justify that to everyone they encounter.
Luckily, most of these zodiac signs won't take being misunderstood too personally, since they're largely aware of how they differ from the crowd. But working to understand someone is a universal skill, and if you really take the time to listen and talk to any of these things, you'll begin to understand them pretty quickly.

zen gardens That Calm down You
zen gardens are a part of the ideology of Buddhism, and expanded degree worldwide as a way to chill out and encourage the act of meditation and contemplation. The backyard is a philosophical expression of the universe that enables the thoughts to ponder its varieties, colours, textures and sensations to meditate. A backyard dry, as it is usually identified, is represented by pure parts resembling sand and rocks. One in every of its major options is that it requires the usage of water, as that is represented by patterns created within the sand or gravel.
Since you've determined the situation for zen gardens, you should create a method to include the weather. By a picket field or if a really giant house, place a floor that can retain entry to your grass parts. After you have created the container, make certain it's correctly secured and that the materials or plastics put to separate the grass to develop beneath the sand are safe.
Now you should fill the floor with sand or gravel, which symbolize the aspect of water. The way in which the weather are represented manifest completely different ideas for zen gardens. The sand within the type of move, lengthy and tough sea wave's manifest and straight traces symbolize calm waters.

Drink, Eat, Love
Drink, Eat, Love Description:
A blog for the love of wine and food.
Jeff & I bonded over wine. A bottle of 1997 Stonestreet Legacy, to be exact. Drunk through a Twizzler straw. It obviously wasn't our first bottle. We overlapped briefly at my first wine job and hit it off pretty famously. We have had a lot of wine since then, over more meals or tasting notes than I can count.
When I'm not writing this, I work for a California wine distributor and importer. I fell in love with wine while in grad school in Bloomington, Indiana. I have been tasting (and traveling to taste) ever since. When I moved to San Francisco, I took wine up as my profession and haven't looked back at the myriad ways I could have made more money. It's about the love, after all.
Jeff started much younger than me, in Austin, Texas. He has been a sommelier and retail wine buyer at several different joints, including his current post at Andronicos Markets, where I call on him as a client. He is currently studying to be accepted to the Court of Master Sommeliers.
Amberly is my wife, editor, and culinary partner in crime.
