I am a game developer currently working and living in Utrecht, The Netherlands. My current projects are Rosa's Garden, which I released in march 2019 on mobile, Lily, which I am still working on, and some smaller game projects. I work within the semi-collective/co-working space called the Boomhut.
In 2016 I graduated cum laude from the Utrecht School of Arts in the bachelor Interactive Performance Design. In recent years I have focused on creating games as an indie game developer, with funding from the Creative Industries NL and the municipality Utrecht. My work has been exhibited at multiple festivals like the EGX Leftfield Collection, Day of the Devs and the European Showcase at GDC.
Recently I also started to organize Women in Games meetups, monthly meetups for our collective and occasionally a small games exhibition in Utrecht.
Right now I am looking for work! For a job anything in 3D modelling or Unity3d would suit, remote, located, freelance, part-time or fulltime. But I am also interested in organizing a games exhibition or other meetups or festival related stuff. Feel free to contact me if you think I can do something for you!

At Thomas Carr College we believe that students need to develop a strong sense of social justice and the skills that equip them to become active members of our society. This includes optimism, enthusiasm and resilience. They need to be encouraged to not only achieve one's best, but to extend themselves beyond the norm and to have the courage to "reach for the stars". Leadership can be personal but is also related to serving others and contributing to the wider College Community. The College provides many opportunities for students to develop leadership skills and to participate in leaderships activities and we encourage participation of students at all levels and across all aspects of College life.
Leadership is a process through which students, regardless of their role, strive to create positive change in their communities. Leadership is a process through which students, regardless of their role, strive to create positive change in their communities. To accomplish this, they must be able to develop and articulate a vision of what they hope to achieve and foster meaningful relationships to advance the goals that lead to the accomplishment of the vision.
College Captains and Vice Captains
College Captains and Vice-Captains represent the College at a range of Community and National events and are responsible for successfully presenting a proud and positive image of the College. They are actively involved in the planning and running of whole school events and lead the Executive of the SRC.
Other Leadership
Opportunities for student leadership include the College Captains and Vice-Captains, the Student Representative Council (SRC), House Leaders, College Ambassadors, Peer Support Leaders, Social Justice Leaders and the Catholic Identity Team, and Music Captains. Leaders are selected by a nomination/election process which is closely overseen by the Deputy Principal and Heads of School.

Equality Impact Assessment (EIA)
What is an Equality Impact Assessment (EIA)?
An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is a tool to help us ensure that our proposals, policies, practices and decision-making processes are fair, promote equality and inclusion by meeting the needs of our staff and students, and do not inadvertently discriminate against any group protected by the 2010 Equality Act. They help us to ensure that we meet the Public Sector Equality Duty of the Act by showing that we understand the impact of our activities on EDI.
It is important to view EIAs as a tool which can help us to make our university a fairer, more inclusive and diverse place to work and study. They can help us look at whether we need to change any of our working practices and ensure that we embrace an equal, diverse and inclusive culture in everything we do.
The EIA should be undertaken by the people responsible for developing the policy, practice or proposal. If you are unsure whether you should be doing an EIA, please contact a member of the EDI Team for further advice.
An EIA should be done at the outset of, or before you make changes to, or implement, new proposals. It is likely that your EIA will develop and be reviewed as your proposal progresses, but doing an assessment at the start ensures that equality informs its development at every stage.
To determine if you should do an EIA, you should consider whether the proposal affects people with protected characteristics differently, especially where this results in unfair treatment or adverse impact.
The guidance explains how you should complete each section and provides an example of this should be done. If you require any further advice and guidance please contact a member of the EDI Team.

Donoussa is a small paradise for those who would like to enjoy beautiful vacation in nature. It is the most northern island of Cyclades and it is located at the east side of Naxos and north side from Amorgos. It has an area of 13 sq. km, covered mainly from rocky ground. The shore forms numerous coves with small, sand beaches. Donoussa does not have a lot of permanent residents. Most of the residents make their living from fishing, livestock keeping, and, recently, tourism.
The biggest settlement of the island is Stavros or Kampos as most of the residents call it. The harbour of the island is located in the area of Stavros which is the most cosmopolitan region of the island. It is built in the most graphic points of the island, and keeps the authentic Cycladic taste.
In the East side of the island you can find the settlement of Timios Stavros with the homonym small church, in which the region owes his name. Some of the most graphic settlements, ideal for beautiful walks in the island, are Mersini, Haravgi and Kalotaritissa.
The island had residents during the ancient times and was called "Donoussa". From excavations that took place in the newer years on the island, geometric settlements were discovered in various areas.
According to mythology Donoussa was the place in which Dionysus hid Ariadni in order to protect her from Thiseas.

Mah-Ze-Dahr is addictive, and the owners know it. That's probably why they offer the Mah-Ze-Dahr black card, a neat little jewel-like tag which, when purchased for $300, allows you one pastry a day for a full calendar year. Most of us West Village moms don't own a Mah-Ze-Dahr black card. Why, you may ask? It's not because we don't want to buy a pastry every day. It's because, between mom's coffee, child #1's cookie, child #2's scone, a croissant for the friend on a playdate, and the bag of marshmallows you end up buying after the kids beg you for a full five minutes… well, you're way past buying just one pastry!
With a convenient (or evil?) location steps away from a popular neighborhood elementary school, Mah-Ze-Dahr is crowded every day at 3pm when school lets out. If you're in the mood for some quiet, relaxing time over a delicious hot cocoa (served with a toasted marshmallow), better avoid Mah-Ze-Dahr between 3pm and 4pm every day.
It's worth noting that in the late spring and summer, Mah-Ze-Dahr serves homemade soft-serve ice-cream. With only one size available (giant!), you're in for a treat. The cones are delicious and the toppings include meringue, mini-brownies, and M&M's. Skip lunch on the day you plan to buy yourself a cone. It really counts as a full meal!
We love the decor. The velvet banquettes and the large marble table in the back feel like home away from home. The pastries have a little special je-ne-sais-quoi that keeps you coming back for more. Not for nothing, Mah-Ze-Dahr means "je ne sais quoi" in Urdu. Tom Colicchio knew what he was doing when he invested in this bakery. It's a wonderful addition to the downtown sweet scene!

Defensive Driving
Defensive Driving Classes
Classes are offered monthly at the South Coastal Library. The 2016 schedule of classes and the appropriate contact to sign up for each one is shown below.
Our chapter is pleased to join with national AARP to promote driver safety among older Americans. The classes we offer arm drivers with the skills and knowledge they need to continue to be safe drivers. Individuals who complete classes qualify for a discount on the liability portion of their auto insurance. We offer both a comprehensive class for those who are enrolling for the first time and a refresher class required every three years for drivers to continue to receive the insurance discount.
Refresher classes are for those who have previously taken the Standard Driver's Class. You must take the Refresher Class every three years to continue to receive a discount on your auto liability insurance. The State is now mandating that you cannot take the Refresher Class prior to 90 days of expiration of your current certificate.
Refresher Classes are scheduled Monday, February 13. Class is full. Monday, May 8 from 9 am to 1 pm. To register, call Tom at (302)541-0780.
The next Standard Class for those who have never taken the class or it has been more than three years is scheduled for: Monday, March 6 from 9 am to 3 pm. To register, call Tom at (302) 541-0780.
All classes are held at the South Coastal Library in Bethany Beach. The cost is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members. If you wish to take the course on line, go to www.AARPdriversafety.org. The cost is $17.95 for AARP members and $21 for Non-members.

Oberseminar WiSe 12/13 Zusammenfassung des Vortrags von Jesse Kass
Two ways of degenerating the Jacobian are the same
The Jacobian variety of a smooth complex curve is a complex torus that admits two different algebraic descriptions. The Jacobian can be described as the Picard variety, which is themoduli space of line bundles, or it can be described as the Albanese variey, which is theuniversal abelian variety that contains the curve. I will talk about how to extend a family of Jacobians varieties by adding degenerate fibers.Corresponding to the two different descriptions of the Jacobian are two different extensions of the Jacobian: the Neron model and the relative moduli space of stable sheaves. I will explain what these two extensions are and then provethat they are equivalent. This equivalence has surprising consequences for both the Neron model and the moduli space of stable sheaves.

Brothers of the Head
This article does not cite any sources. (March 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Brothers of the Head is a 2005 mockumentary featuring the story of Tom and Barry Howe (Harry and Luke Treadaway respectively), conjoined twins living in the United Kingdom. It was based on the 1977 novel of the same name by science fiction writer Brian Aldiss.

Tony Grisoni started working on the screenplay in 1984. He met the directors when they were filming Lost in La Mancha about the making of the The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.
In the early 1970s, the twins are essentially purchased by sleazy talent manager with plans to turn them into rock stars. The brothers form a punk rock band called the Bang Bang. As the band's success grows, a music journalist, Laura (Tania Emery), follows the band writing an article. A romantic relationship develops between Laura and Tom causing friction between the two brothers.

Production triviaEdit
Brian Aldiss, the writer of the original novel, filmed a cameo, however it was cut out and replaced by an actor portraying him. Deleted scenes make it clear that in the continuity of the film, Aldiss based his novel on a real life case. In the backstory of the action, Ken Russell (who appears in the film as himself and makes references to his previous rock and roll-based film, Tommy), had attempted to make his own uncompleted film version of the "true" story.
Ex-Crackout members Steven Eagles, Nicholas Millard and Jack Dunkley also have cameos. They also provided the soundtrack to the movie.
All Bang-Bang music tracks featured in the film were actually performed live by actors Harry and Luke Treadaway themselves, along with the actors portraying the band members. The Treadaways, along with all the actors except Bryan Dick (Paul Day), recorded studio tracks for the soundtrack album.

Running Tux MachinesSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 7th of March 2014 10:25:03 AM Filed under
TUX Machines has become an integral part of our life right here in this humble home. It's a rewarding experience but also a demanding experience. I personally write my articles in the lounge (which is no 'press room') and it requires many hours of digging and researching news. In Tux Machines, unlike in Techrights for example, it's mostly about finding news of high relevance and importance, and finding them fast! Timing counts. We don't want readers to waste their time wading/going through irrelevant, unimportant and out-of-date reports.
24/7 coverage of news is easy for us. Rianne works mostly at daytime, whereas I usually work at nights (customers are mostly government/public sector and they require 24/7 coverage). When Rianne is working I take over the responsibilities at Tux Machines and vice versa. We swap responsibilities like this when it comes to housework as well; we work out together when we are out of the house (also separately in terms of gym sections, e.g. cardiovascular/weights). This week we go to yoga classes as much as 5 times, but we usually just to Town for other facilities like pool, table tennis, sauna (men and women separately), gym, etc. This is our main escape from Tux Machines; given Wi-Fi (scarce coverage but definitely existent in Manchester City Centre), we sometimes update Tux Machines while out of the house as well.
The site forums are now open for participation and every registered member can add blog posts and push them to the front page (now that we've got the spam epidemic under control). Please do consider participating. This week, as in previous weeks, we are seeing a ~10% growth in traffic (week-to-week), perhaps owing to the slight redesign, loading speeds (Varnish cache), and very frequent updates. We check for news once in a few hours in order to keep abreast of breaking events.
Running Tux Machines will hopefully become more of a community effort over time. Anyone who is logged in can now submit stories. Unless this gets abused by spammers, we will keep it that way. █
Mollom WorksSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Wednesday 5th of March 2014 05:25:47 PM Filed under
Drupal's very own Mollom is a Free/Open Source (collaboratively-developed and freely-shared) software for battling script kiddies and fighting against SPAM. The past 2 weeks were difficult because spammers exploited the fact that we had opened up the site for registration/subscription (to leave comments). After exploring some options for dealing with the problem (spam making it to the front page even!) we found that Mollom was good enough to eliminate almost 100% of all of spam (so far). Hence, for the time being, it seems safe to say now that we beat the script kiddies. Thanks, Mollom! █

NokiaSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 27th of February 2014 10:35:33 AM Filed under
It is now the talk of the town. Nokia will be making their own smartphone based on Android. It seems like they no longer want to be in the shadow, under Windows Phone. I would like to think this might be the comeback of Nokia phones after a decade or so. I liked Nokia as a gadget way before this so-called "smart phones" trend started. I remember when SMS became the most convenient tool for communication, like a telegraph type. Nokia phones were once a gadgets giant; only then, when Microsoft bought Nokia, the once cellphone giant was kept and never to be found. I mean, not literally, but I can hardly see Nokia out in the Market along with those cellphone giants like Mac/iOS , Blueberry and Samsung. Nokia's merging into Microsoft has never been good; their tandem strategy never created any new innovation that makes them different from the other competitors. In fact, there were no success stories for Nokia when it was based on Windows Phone.
I expect Nokia to have lots to offer in the next expo. Improvements in software using Android OS, distinct design in hardware which can compete in comparables among the others. The price might be a little less than the existing smartphones to attract potential costumers. Lastly, I wish Nokia well for bravely taking such a huge change. In this road it has many challenges, but it's worth taking.

Site Update (Updatedx2)Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Sunday 16th of February 2014 03:49:20 PM Filed under
Summary: Recent changes at Tux Machines, in just a nutshell
INSPIRED in part by Slashdot, we recently added topical icons to submissions, applying these changes retroactively to over 50,000 older pages. The idea was, this can improve orientation by helping to quickly associate text with topics. More minor modifications were made as well, some textual and some layout related. They are subtle but they can be seen. After receiving feedback regrading icons size we made further modifications. Regarding social media buttons, some of the ones we initially found were unbelievably privacy-infringing (allowing Google, Facebook, Twitter etc. to see visitors of this site), so we disabled them immediately and replaced them with static buttons. Right now we can assure that whenever loading pages in this Web site nothing except our security-aware network gets contacted. We share no data about visitors (with anyone) and Apache logs get shredded for good after a few weeks, leaving sufficient trail just in case of attacks on the site, which would merit investigation. Log rotation is similarly privacy-respecting at the cache level, which leads to the following point.
Today, after the above changes had been made and stability attained (there were some network disruptions yesterday), we also updated Drupal, ensuring it is secure and fully up to date (the latest minor bugfix release is a month old). There is still an issue with Varnish and until we tackle this issue users who are not logged in might be getting error pages. One way to overcome this is to append "?something" to the URL requested. This bypasses the Varnish cache until we finish our investigation of this issue and resolve it for good. █
Update: The issue with Varnish turns out to be a conflict between two caching layers. It's fixed now. If you spot an issue, still, please let us know.
Update #2: Yesterday we identified another issue and soon thereafter fixed it. After Twitter syndication had failed we realised that RSS feeds were not standards-compliant, due to a blank line at the start of each generated page in Drupal. This is a common issue and it is a nightmare to debug (requires a complete code review with help of GNU utilities like grep). After 4 hours of investigation I found the culprit and fixed the coding error. RSS feeds are back.

My ValentineSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Saturday 15th of February 2014 03:58:36 PM Filed under
Yesterday was a rainy day. Our plans to go dining and bowling were more or less ruined by that. Manchester has had stormy weather as of late and there is not much one can do to avoid it.
Almost every couple went out to celebrate valentines. In my case, as I am working regular hours at day (and sometimes at night), I don't have much time for planning or thinking of ways to celebrate valentines day.
My dear husband, who had a day off yesterday (after he had worked at night), surprised me in many ways. He prepared a bubble bath for me with glasses of wine and candles lit. Pizza was inside the oven and table setting was quite ready, with many special beverages to mark the special day.
Everything was organised and prepared by him. While we were having our dinner we watched Tom and Jerry (a favourite from my childhood) and we were both enjoying it. Later he wanted to prepare the new mattress he bought to make sure we would have a good night's sleep.
Our own way of celebrating valentines -- so simple but passionately expressed with pure love and tenderness.

JusticeSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 6th of February 2014 11:40:57 PM Filed under
I was born in a quiet and beautiful town in the Far East together with my cousins. As far as I can remember, we enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset, bathing and fishing in the river along with other children. My childhood years bring back good memories: Playing hide and seek, flying kites, throwing yo-yo, jumping on Chinese garter and so much more. Life was full of fun and so simple back then. There were times I ate meals in our neighbours' house, treated like family. Sometimes we exchanged food. This you will never experience in an highly urbanised city, as there is nothing like this in the Western world. It's a small town where you almost know every other person. Everybody is like your family. That is how I remember the place that I left 24 years ago. This year my husband and I were planning to visit my beloved town. But I have second thoughts. It's a bit scary to visit a place where people are killing other people like animals.
Mandrake Derived DistrosSubmitted by gfranken on Wednesday 5th of February 2014 07:23:46 PM Filed under
Todays special is about Mandrake derived distributions, namely,
OpenMandriva Lx 2014 alpha vs Mageia 4 final vs ROSA 2012 R2 final vs PCLinuxOS 2013.12 final.
In (my limited) testing, I've used the X86_64 versions favoring the KDE desktop, and I've used the NVidia binary drivers provided with each distro.
Here's my experience with each one:

Statistics Not Compatible With VarnishSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Tuesday 4th of February 2014 11:37:43 PM Filed under
VARNISH is valuable for a number of reasons, including security, privacy, and performance. I first used it around 2009 when another site of mine had repeatedly come under DDOS attacks. Using Varnish means that requests for pages usually come from the same IP address (the cache proxy), if at all. Much of the time visitors get served static (cached) pages transparently and quickly. The downside is, this interferes with statistics (the Apache server does not even see all requests) and it is not compatible with modules like polls, where each IP addressed is allowed just one vote.
During the server/site migration we tried to preserve as many of the features as we could. There was a transition from old Debian to new CentOS and the new architecture is quite different (still 2 CPU cores but with more RAM, a virtual container, and resilience owing to proxies/redundancy). Thanks to those who suggested workarounds. We have looked at some of them, but without losing on performance there is no way to keep meaningful statistics. These statistics have been disabled. Not even we, with direct access to the server and the CMS, have access to meaningful statistics.
We are going to try to focus on high quality selection of news, not on numbers. █

PCLinuxOS 2013--An Old Friend RevisitedSubmitted by gfranken on Sunday 8th of December 2013 09:37:04 PM Filed under
I first heard about Bill Reynolds (AKA "Texstar") when I was using Mandrake Linux 7 (later called "Mandriva") many years ago. Back then, Texstar was putting together updated KDE releases for Mandrake Linux, as Mandrake would only typically update their KDE release once or twice a year.
Windows 8.1 "The Worst Ever"Submitted by gfranken on Tuesday 19th of November 2013 10:58:39 PM Filed under
I've taught High School Computer Science for 25 years--Computer Programming, Web Page Design, Word Processing, Database Processing, and Spreadsheet processing. I have Linux on all my home computers with a dual boot into MS Windows 7 on my main computer. I don't use Windows 7 very often--but, I can find my way around in Windows 7. Since I have no experience with Win 8, I've thought all the recent hoopla about Microsoft's Windows 8 and 8.1 was just inexperienced grousing.

This is "See Ya Around"Submitted by srlinuxx on Friday 8th of November 2013 06:46:05 PM Filed under
I started to say "this is goodbye," but just because I sold the site doesn't mean I won't be around Linuxville. I'm still writing at ostatic and I may turn up here now and again as well. I'll be looking around to expand my writing after the new year too, so you're not rid of me yet. But the sale on tuxmachines.org has been completed.
New HTPC the Lenovo Ideastation Q190 & UbuntuSubmitted by fieldyweb on Sunday 3rd of November 2013 06:53:23 PM
We cut the cord a couple of years ago, the need to get TV over traditional TV Ariel was no longer needed and services such as TV Catchup, iPlayer and the other UK Catchup TV Channels streamed over the net to my TV were all we needed.
Having had an Asrock 330 Ion be the trusty device for nearly 5 years the box finally gave up the shost last week.
The options available for using the internet to provide your TV are huge, from the giants of Apple with Apple TV, Google are dipping their toes in the water they have the ChromeCast, and there are a huge bagfull of Android Devices which all claim to plug into the HDMI port of your TV.. Then there is the Raspberry PI which has a custom build of OS's to provide different interfaces.

Information Sheets
A statistical snapshot of data from the donor registers
The Victorian donor registers consist of the Central Register and the Voluntary Register. Both registers were managed by the Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages. The Registrar provided VARTA with data for the period of 30 June 2016 from the donor registers for monitorin and public education purposes. A statistical snapshot of the numbers of people who have accessed the Central Register and Voluntary Register, as well as some information about their applications is provided for download.
Complaints and Feedback Policy and Procedures
VARTA acknowledges the importance of feedback, and a person's right to express their opinion about VARTA's services. Having a complaints and feedback policy allows VARTA to engage constructively with those who have used VARTA's services, in order to improve both our services and the consumer experience.

Surrogacy FAQ
Surrogacy is a form of assisted reproductive treatment (ART) in which a woman agrees to carry and give birth to a child on behalf of another person or couple. The Assisted Reproductive Treatment Act 2008 allows surrogacy in Victoria for individuals or couples who may not otherwise be able to have children. This resource provides a list of questions and answers and information to help you understand the legal, practical and emotional implications of surrogacy in Victoria. The information is related to surrogacy in Victoria specifically.
Talking about your donation
Prior to 1988, sperm and egg donations were practised anonymously. Donors and parents who used the donations rarely told others about their experience. As society has changed and become more open, the law and this practice in Victoria has changed. Parents are encouraged to tell their child about how they became a family with the help of a donor. Donors are counselled in treatment clinics to be open about their donation to their partner, children, and extended family - especially as donor-conceived people or their parents are able to apply for information about them.

Most of the web controls that support databinding (like Telerik RadGrid) provide automatic read, insert, update, and delete functionality when used with an OpenAccessDataSource control. You can easily configure HTML elements on the design surface of these controls and data-bind them to the OpenAccessDataSource control.
Binding Web Server Controls with an OpenAccessDataSource
The web controls that support databinding (like Telerik RadGrid) are very similar in their design. Bind one of these Web server controls to the OpenAccessDataSource control using the following steps:
The following procedure creates a RadGrid control that is bound to an OpenAccessDataSource control.

Hi, Ladies, I am typically over on the Nest, but am hosting a baby shower for a friend in April, so I thought I'd venture on over.
Last year, when I hosted a shower for my sister, I made a diaper cake, and I know that she used the diapers. For the upcoming one, I'd like to create a diaper wreath instead, but am a considering doing a rolled one, instead of one that folds over the wreath for sanitary purposes.
I've been researching them some, and I'm finding that some people do not use the diapers from these creations because they are a bit skeeved out by the fact that the package is opened. How do you feel about this? I do not want to make something that would not be used. I also don't want to ask the mom to be about this because I'd like to keep it a surprise.
I think this all depends on the mom youre throwing the shower for. If she's a really laid back, go with the flow kind of woman who you already know wont be a germ freak that goes nuts if you touch her baby without asking or washing your hands five times, then I would say its fine. But if she is easily peeved about things or is a super germ-aphobe or has been a really uptight "preg-zilla" the whole time shes been pg, I would say no. You probably already know the answer just by knowing your friend.
Personally, I would use it and not have a problem with it or save to use if I ever threw another shower.
Even if the mom wont use the diapers she might use the arrangement for a shower she throws. I would do it.
I would personally use it and have no issue with it, but I agree with pp that someone who is a germaphobe might. I do agree that using the ones that are rolled, instead of folded over would be better, more sanitary.
I guess I always thought the purpose would be to use them, not to reuse just as a decoration. I mean there are a lot of diapers in there and who doesn't need diapers!!!

In this special prequel to Matthew Reilly's The Tournament, Roger Ascham, the unorthodox tutor of Princess Elizabeth, is charged with tracking down a favourite prostitute of King Henry VIII's who has gone missing.
Hey! Here's my review.
I've seen Matthew Reilly's book around and recommended them to my hubby, but I'd never actually picked one up for myself until I spotted this short story for free on Audible. I love audiobooks, so snapped this one up straight away, though it has taken me a while to get to it. Once I clicked play, I was transported into the time of King Henry the Eighth and followed a teacher on an adventurous mystery solving journey. I was easily caught up in the story and devoured it all in one go. It was the perfect length to listen to over a lunch break, commute to work, or to hang a load of washing then have a cuppa like I did. I liked the main character, Roger, and enjoyed Matthew's writing style. The narrator was fantastic, adding to my reading experience.

My greetings to dancegoers.
In this new weekly dance column, I (and, in due course, my New York Times dance colleagues) draw attention to current points of interest in dance over the next week. This is a good time to start: ballet, modern dance and postmodern dance all have important New York offerings in the days ahead.
American Ballet Theater's "The Sleeping Beauty" at the Metropolitan Opera House
The 19th-century ballets tend to be labeled the classics, and "The Sleeping Beauty" (1890) has long been considered the most classical. It's fair to say that Ballet Theater's production of "Beauty," directed by Alexei Ratmansky, is the most historically informed and sensitive production of any classic in our time. Perhaps its most startling suggestion is that we should reconsider the classicism of its master-choreographer, Marius Petipa. I've been watching this ballet for 40 years — but here the lines, phrasing, steps, extensions, footwork, turn-out, story-telling and mood are all different from what I've known. It'll take a lot of getting used to. But it's so musical that it's immediately persuasive.
The week brings five casts at the Metropolitan Opera House. Having already seen five casts in the production's opening season this March in California, I can attest that it's rewarding to see them all — partly because Mr. Ratmansky has coached his casts with different textual options. There are, for example, two versions of the Lilac Fairy's solo variation in the Prologue — both notated from the original St. Petersburg production. In the Act III wedding pas de deux, Sarah Lane and Herman Cornejo (on Thursday) eschew the celebrated and traditional fish dives. They instead perform supported pirouettes with an upright ending (one leg flourished to the side) — which is recorded in the notation as the original choreography.
Yvonne Rainer at MoMA
Yvonne Rainer was one of the founding parents of what's been called postmodern dance in the 1960s — non-virtuoso dance that avoided academic steps and conventional theatricality, drawing attention to the stimulus of low-key movement. Her 1966 "Trio A" solo is known as the seminal work of postmodern dance; in 2010, I watched her teach it to over 100 people at Mills College in Oakland, Calif. Still, her recent work can prove awkward and perplexing. MoMA on Tuesday brings the East Coast premiere of her "The Concept of Dust, or How do you look when there's nothing left to move? (Moving On)."
Alvin Ailey Dance company at the David H. Koch
It often seems that all seasons by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater follow the same formula: numerous performances of good old "Revelations," way too many choreographic clichés elsewhere, too much calculated charm and lots of gorgeous muscle tone. Will things change in this two-week season at the David H. Koch Theater, starting on Wednesday. Repertory includes a world premiere by the hip-hop master Rennie Harris and a new production of the historic African-American choreographer Talley Beatty's 1960 "Toccata."
Please tell us through the comments section what you'd like to see in this space, and what you're reading, seeing and hearing.

Major spoilers for Justice League.
There's a big villain in Justice League and it isn't Steppenwolf: it's reshoots. The exact nature of the DCEU's infamous reshoots has been debated endlessly over the past year - was Joss Whedon executing a massive course correct or simply helping out Zack Snyder? Whatever was true, most had assumed we'd never truly know.
However, nobody quite expected the reshoots to be quite so rampant or obvious in the movie itself; Justice League is a mishmash of tone, narrative and character, with glaring leaps in feel and some downright-shocking CGI that makes cracking the case a little easier than expected. It's a Frankenstein's monster of a film, with Whedon taking Snyder's body parts and trying to craft something new, and the clues to what really went down are right there on the screen.

We're not going to be assessing whether the changes made throughout Justice League's long journey to the big screen ultimately helped or hindered the film here (but be sure to keep on eye on Screen Rant over the release weekend), but instead take an analytical deep dive into all the changes that were made to Zack Snyder's film by Joss Whedon. As a warning, it's going to get messy.
Joss Whedon Reshot More Than They're Saying (This Page)
Joss Whedon Reshot More Than They're Saying
Before looking at everything that was changed, it's important to know what exactly happened behind-the-scenes. The accepted narrative is that it was mutually-decided Zack Snyder's first assembled cut of Justice League wasn't up to scratch and so Joss Whedon came in to do some rewrites to punch up the script, allegedly mainly in character moments. Then Snyder stepped down following the tragic death of his daughter Autumn, and Whedon coming on as a stand-in replacement. He conducted the reshoots and the rest of post-production, seeing the film over the finish line for his colleague.
All through this, we've been told several things over and over: Whedon was following Snyder's blueprint and wasn't going to change the tone or style; the reshoots weren't that extensive or impactful on the finished product; and that, above all, this was still Zack Snyder's picture. To cap it all off, the week of release we were told by producer Charles Roven that Whedon in total shot around 15-20% of the released film.
However, having seen the film, that definitely doesn't seem to be the case. The reshoots are more obvious than Fantastic Four's and betray a major tonal shift; this is mainly through inconsistencies, but overall Justice League feels a result of a concerted effort to move away from Man of Steel and Batman v Superman to something more Whedon-y. Indeed, the film is working hard to distance itself from the prior installments narratively, with callbacks stripped down and only ever there with a sheer sense of reluctance. Add to this that vast swathes of the trailers are nowhere to be seen and it's clear the changes are more seismic than we've been led to believe.
Related: Who's Really Responsible For Delaying Justice League's Rotten Tomatoes Score?
It would really seem that major alterations were mandated after Snyder's original version (the one that was widely cited as being "unwatchable"), with Whedon subsequently tasked with "fixing" it. We can't give a proper estimation of the exact amount of the film reshot, especially as a lot of Snyder's footage and scenes were completely cut, but feel safe saying the percentage of the film that comes from Joss is much, much higher than Warner Bros. are saying - and the knock-on impact of his changes go even bigger than that.

Matthew 5:1-12 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
The Sermon on the Mount
5 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the side of a mountain and sat down.[a]
Jesus' disciples gathered around him, 2 and he taught them:
3 God blesses those people
11 God will bless you when people insult you, mistreat you, and tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me. 12 Be happy and excited! You will have a great reward in heaven. People did these same things to the prophets who lived long ago.

When Illinoisans get divorced, they have to sort through a swath of issues, some emotional, others legal. Many times the emotional and the legal merge. In some cases, that means fighting over child custody. But in other cases, it may mean deciding who gets to keep which friends, including man's best friend, the family dog.
Illinois couple contesting custody of the family dog
Rapper fails to appear at child-support hearing, warrant issued
Having a child is a wonderful moment, but it also creates lasting responsibilities. For example, Illinois parents have an obligation to provide food, clothing and shelter for their children. Unfortunately, when parents split, some parents stop meeting their obligations, including obligations to pay child support.
Man jailed for non-existent back-child support finally released
For Illinois parents who owe child support, an easy way to make the payments is to have their employer withhold the amount from their paycheck. Normally, having the amount withheld is a reliable way for Illinoisans to make sure their children get what they deserve. But, mistakes will happen.
Three steps to take before filing for a divorce
Many Illinoisans have likely heard the axiom: "Don't do tomorrow what you can do today." But, for many people thinking about divorce, the opposite view wins out: "Don't do today what you can do tomorrow." Then, people dress that procrastination up with rationalizations, some more compelling than others. Illinoisans may tell themselves that they just want to wait for the holidays to pass, the school year to finish or any number of other things.

Richard Kroner
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Richard Kroner (8 March 1884 in Breslau – 2 November 1974 in Mammern) was a German neo-Hegelian philosopher, known for his Von Kant bis Hegel (1921/4), a classic history of German idealism written from the neo-Hegelian point of view. He was a Christian, from a Jewish background. He is known for his formulation of Hegel as 'the Protestant Aquinas'.
His Jewish ancestry led him to be 'suspended' (dismissed) under Nazi legislation in 1934, from his university position at Kiel. He was replaced briefly by Hans-Georg Gadamer, a personal friend.
Kroner's ideas on Hegel, including his slant from Kierkegaard, were taken up by some existentialist thinkers, including Lev Shestov and Nikolai Berdyaev.

A wall paper border can add an extra splash of colour and pattern to your wall, tying your decorating scheme together. Little details like borders can make a big difference in making the room look finished. When you hang a border, occasionally you may find sections overlapping. To avoid a sloppy result and let all of your hard work go to waste, create a butt joint to merge the sections seamlessly.
Match your patterns up so the joint will be less noticeable. If you have worked your way around the room and the two final pieces are meeting in a random spot, it may not be possible to match the pattern design.
Apply the wallpaper border pieces to the wall as directed by the manufacturer, allowing the edge of one piece to overlap the second piece. Make sure both pieces are level, with the top and bottom edges lining up perfectly.
Hold a straight edge tool, such as a wallpaper knife or metal stick ruler, right next to the spot where the joints will meet. This must be over a spot where the pieces overlap. Use a level, if desired, to ensure the tool is vertically straight.
Cut a vertical line through both pieces of the border, using the metal tool as a guide so that your cut is vertically straight. Be careful not to scratch or cut into the wall above or below the border. The edges of each piece should fall away. The newly created edges should meet perfectly.
Roll over the butt jointed edges with a seam roller to flatten them and ensure they stay in place.

LPC Flooring
Save time and money on installations with this fast, efficient solution.
In recent years, low profile raised access flooring has rapidly gained popularity as companies realise they can save time and money using this simple option over traditional access flooring methods.
Adapt Architectural's LPC (low profile cavity) Flooring is a simple, cost-effective alternative to traditional standard access flooring alternatives.
LPC Flooring is available in two versions:
LPC: A fixed height flooring installation solution that follows the natural contours of the floor.
LPC+: A height adjustable version of LPC, ideal for levelling out the flooring in buildings where floors are an uneven height.
LPC+ Flooring
Achieve greater flexibility with the LPC height adjustable flooring solution
LPC+ is a height adjustable version of LPC, making it the perfect option for buildings where flooring is uneven. Like LPC, LPC+ is simple to use and requires no specialist training. The height can be easily adjusted by a simple twisting movement and clipped securely in place.
LPC+ can be used alongside LPC flooring, so you can choose the exact combination of raised access flooring you need for your project.
Features & Benefits
LPC and LPC+
Saves Time
Up to 75% faster than traditional installation methods, saving valuable installation time and money.
No Fuss
There's no invasive coring or trenching, no mess and minimal effort required for ongoing maintenance. Once installed, you can easily make changes to the cable system or wiring of a specific section of the floor, without disturbing the entire area.
Environmentally friendly
The webbing is made from polypropylene and steel and the perimeter blocking is made from aluminium, all of which are 100% recyclable.
Minimises Cost
A team of four installers can install 2700ft² (250m²) per day, reducing the time needed until the building can be occupied.
Creates More Space
LPC flooring provides all the space you need to accommodate wires, lighting, cables and anything else you might need.
Safe and Sturdy
Our lightweight floor covering tiles have been rigorously tested and meet stringent safety standards. Made from magnesium oxide, they are strong, fire retardant and can be cut without specialist equipment.
Reusable and Reconfigurable
You own the floor. You can reconfigure it if your office layout changes or take the flooring with you if you move to a new building in the future.
Easy to install
The floor is simple to install and doesn't require specialist training or knowledge, unlike traditional standard access flooring methods.
Installation Videos
LPC & LPC+ Videos
Adapt Architectural offers a range of accessories and electrical packages to complete your raised floor installation. From perimeter blocking to electrical sockets, cables and distribution, we supply everything required to make your project a success.
Electrical Packages
Adapt Architectural can provide the following electrical sockets, cables and distribution to complete your flooring solution if you do not wish to use your own:
Power socket outlet: Power sockets can be placed where needed and easily moved in the future. They are waterproof and dust proof, reducing the risk of damage.
Recoupling cables: Place power wherever you need it. We'll supply the connectors for attachment to your cables.
Perimeter Blocking
Perimeter blocking can be placed around the edge of the floor to strengthen it, prevent movement and keep the flooring in place. It also helps to exclude draft and creates an aesthetically pleasing finish with the carpet. Perimeter Blocking is applicable to LPC flooring only and not to LPC+.

Children, Community and Social Services
You are here > Home > Professionals > Special needs > Special Needs Strategy > Coordinated Service Planning > Part 3: Target Population
The overall target population for Coordinated Service Planning is families of children and youth with multiple and/or complex special needs whose need for service coordination goes beyond the scope of inter-professional collaboration to address and who would benefit from the added support provided by Coordinated Service Planning. This could be due to the breadth and cross-sectoral nature of a child/youth's service needs and/or potential challenges in coordinating services because of factors affecting the whole family.
Children and youth under the age of 18, and young people between the ages of 18 and 21 who remain in school, are eligible for CSP. A diagnosis is not required to access Coordinated Service Planning.
Decisions around whether a family should receive Coordinated Service Planning will be made by the Coordinating Agency with input from the family, based on an assessment of whether the service will be beneficial to a child/youth and family, considering the factors below. Service Planning Coordinators and other trained staff involved in intake will work with the family to determine whether a family should receive service and at what level of intensity.2
If a child/youth and family will not receive Coordinated Service Planning and a formal Coordinated Service Plan, the Coordinating Agency should provide an explanation to the family and refer them, seamlessly through a warm referral3, to any other appropriate supports that may be required.
The family will also be informed that if, in the future, their needs intensify, circumstances change or if new needs develop they are welcome to return to the Coordinating Agency to seek access to Coordinated Service Planning. With consent from the family, the Coordinating Agency will keep the family's information on file so it can be updated if the family seeks to access Coordinated Service Planning later.
Coordinating Agencies will consider the following child/youth and family characteristics and external factors when identifying whether or not children and youth and families should receive Coordinated Service Planning:
For examples of children and youth and their families who may receive Coordinated Service Planning, please see Appendix A.

Summer Style: Rompers
June 22, 2017
Romp into summer this year with this new lazy girl trend. Who wouldn't want to save a few minutes of their sunny day by putting their shirt and shorts on at the same time? Try out a romper this summer for an easy breezy warm weather look. Bonus, rompers are all the glamour of wearing a sundress but you can safely bend down in them and never have to worry about small children running between your legs. These are the reasons I turned to rompers this year.
My fellow fashionista friend, Taylor Roberts, commented, "I like rompers because they are so easy. You don't really have to think about your outfit. Just pull it on and go!" Roberts raises a great point about rompers. They are the perfect solution for that early morning summer job you're too tired to get dressed for. Who doesn't want a one step look that is effortlessly fashionable?
Finding the perfect shoes for your romper is just as easy as putting one on. Pair a floral romper with strappy sandals or pastel Vans. Pair a solid colored romper with patterned shoes; I recommend Toms. Rompers don't demand too much accessorizing, but you can always pull out that floppy summer hat to top off your look.

About Stefanie Herrmann
I am a geographer pursuing interdisciplinary research on human-environment relationships in drylands, in particular in pastoral and agricultural societies of the developing world. Most of my research has been in the semiarid Sahel of West Africa, where I have worked on land degradation and land cover dynamics at various scales and from various perspectives, ranging from regional-scale remote sensing to studying the perspectives of local populations in the field.
Special Issue on Earth Observations for Ecosystem Resilience now open:
Areas of Study
Remote sensing of land use and land cover change
Land degradation/desertification
Local environmental knowledge
Pastoral livelihoods
