"Arrival," the new aliens-have-landed film with Amy Adams (which opensFriday), is the first science-fiction picture directed by Denis Villeneuve, and, despite its ominous overtones and the heartbreak at its core, it also counts among Mr. Villeneuve's lighter fare.
Mr. Villeneuve, who is French Canadian, is widely known for tense cinematic brooders like "Prisoners" and "Enemy," which both starred Jake Gyllenhaal, and for being hired to direct the forthcoming, doubtlessly moody "Blade Runner" sequel, due next year and starring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford. Set against Mr. Villeneuve's body of work, though, these three films are anomalies, for the simple fact that their protagonists are men.
Mr. Villeneuve has built and grown his career making films that are about, and led by, women. "Arrival" is his sixth feature to focus on a female character.
Part of this is happenstance, part of it by design, and part of it is ingrained in Mr. Villeneuve's DNA. Writing his first feature in the late '90s, Mr. Villeneuve said, he consciously chose a female protagonist because he felt it would bring him "the necessary distance" from his subject. But then his second feature centered on a woman, and then his third, and his fourth, around which time Mr. Villeneuve realized a definite pattern was afoot.
"For me, masculinity is about control, and femininity is more of an embrace, the art of listening," Mr. Villeneuve, who is 49, said by phone from Budapest, where "Blade Runner 2049" was being shot. "It's very inspiring to explore the shadows of masculinity and femininity, and the tensions between both, and the place of women in the world right now."
Mr. Villeneuve was raised in Gentilly, Quebec, a small community northeast of Montreal on the St. Lawrence River that is famous for its nuclear power plant and, now, for being his hometown. While the village was deeply conservative and Catholic, Mr. Villeneuve grew up surrounded by strong, progressive women.
Though both of his grandfathers were, in his words, "very quiet, like shadows," his grandmothers were strong, eccentric and flamboyant. "Two figures of power, two women who were very alive," he said. His father was a notary, and his mother was a homemaker who enthusiastically embraced feminism, leaving a lasting impression on Mr. Villeneuve, who is the eldest of four.
"I'm the first generation of men that was in contact with those new ideas of feminism," Mr. Villeneuve said. "I was raised in a way that I didn't feel threatened by those ideas. I felt that it was a beautiful thing."
He also knew his view was not universally shared.
"In Quebec, as women were getting more power, there were the men who agreed with that, and the men who were afraid," Mr. Villeneuve said. "I think most men are willing to share power with women, but there's fear. Every time you change something, there's a friction."
Mr. Villeneuve's first feature, "August 32nd on Earth" (1998), about a woman whose worldview is altered by a car accident, became Canada's foreign-language submission to the Academy Awards (it did not end up nominated). Two years later, he made "Maelstrom," about a woman undone by a series of misfortunes.
He then stepped away from filmmaking for a few years to study cinema and screenwriting, and returned with a vow to only make pictures that held deep meaning for him. This led to his lauded "Polytechnique" (2009) about the 1989 massacre in Montreal of 14 young women — students at the city's École Polytechnique — by a gunman who said he was "fighting feminism."
That the shootings happened in vibrant, cosmopolitan Montreal only compounded Canadians' horror. Mr. Villeneuve had been a university student in the city at the time, and he was about the same age as the women. Despite initial criticism over his decision to make a film about it, Mr. Villeneuve said he felt the need to "repair and revisit" the atrocity; it was the nightmarish apotheosis of resistance to women's rise.
"Polytechnique" went on to win nine Genie awards, Canada's top filmmaking prizes, and he followed it a year later with the Oscar-nominated "Incendies," about a female Middle Eastern immigrant to Canada with a torturous past. The nomination flung open doors, and he embarked on what he calls "the water bottle tour" of Hollywood: going to multiple meetings about prospective projects.
One offer that especially intrigued him came from a fellow Montrealer, Shawn Levy (who went on to produce the Netflix hit "Stranger Things"), who wanted to make a film out of the novella "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang, about a linguist tasked with learning the language of visiting aliens.
"It was clear to us that the filmmaker behind 'Incendies' was for real," said Mr. Levy, a director and head of the production company 21 Laps. "The command of tone, and visuals in service of tone, was so confident."
Mr. Villeneuve was already committed to two other projects, "Enemy" and "Prisoners," which together took 18 months. "Prisoners" was a particularly dark project, especially after "Polytechnique" and "Incendies" — Mr. Villeneuve said, "It's difficult to make movies about the darker part of humanity; it's like you live with it" — yet it opened the door to his next project, "Sicario," about a female F.B.I. agent (Emily Blunt) drawn into an extralegal effort to quash drug cartels operating across the United States-Mexico border.
"The fact that it was a woman makes the audience lean in even more to her position, and he wanted to embrace that," Ms. Blunt said. "He considers these women deeply. There's nothing superficial when it comes to the layers of women he wants to create in his films."
The movie was written by Taylor Sheridan, who resisted early suggestions from potential financial backers to turn his lead into a man. Mr. Sheridan was laser-focused on landing Mr. Villeneuve to direct, though not because of his track record directing actresses. (At the time, Mr. Sheridan had yet to see "Incendies.") "I knew an hour into watching 'Prisoners' that's our guy," Mr. Sheridan said. "He creates a complete world. There's such a brooding emotional honesty in what he does."
For Mr. Villeneueve, having a female lead clinched the film for him. He strongly felt the need, he said, to visit the world of drug cartel violence through a woman's eyes: Already an accomplished professional, the lead character was trying to hold her own, and be morally upright alongside mercenaries in a shadowy, quasi-legal world.
Still, "Sicario," too, was deeply somber, and before taking it Mr. Villeneueve made himself a promise.
"I said to myself, I would go back in the dark, if I knew there was something with a lot of light after," he said. That ended up being the film version of "Story of Your Life," which has since been rechristened. "I was able to do 'Sicario,'" he said, "because 'Arrival' was just after."
Production took place in Montreal; Ms. Adams said Mr. Villeneuve told her he wanted to be close to his family (he is married to Tanya Lapointe, a Canadian journalist, and has three children from a previous relationship). For her part, Ms. Adams said she did not immediately connect with the film, — in which the linguist's attempts at extraterrestrial communication are interspersed with vignettes of conversations with her young daughter. But then Mr. Villeneuve told Ms. Adams that he believed it was the mother-daughter relationship that lay at the film's heart.
"That's what locked me in," Ms. Adams said, adding, "Denis managed to make an emotional science fiction movie that feels intimate."
The film drew notice even before production began, when Paramount bought North American rights for $20 million in 2014 at Cannes. Its premiere this year at the Venice Film Festival was met with deep enthusiasm from critics, and it's holding at 100 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaking from Budapest, Mr. Villeneuve said he's not sure what he'll do next, though he yearns to take a break. "Blade Runner" was sucking up every minute of his time, every joule of his energy, and he was worried that in his exhaustion, he wasn't making sense during our conversation.
Would future projects inevitably involve more female protagonists?
"I think that's something that needs to come naturally," Mr. Villeneuve said. He recalled a moment in "Prisoners," when he was shooting a confrontation between two men. "It was like a western, you know?" he said, chuckling. "And I felt that it was really refreshing for me, to go back into the masculine world."

Published at Tuesday, July 30th, 2019 - 13:58:04 PM. Wedding Dresses. By Adalicia Schmitz.
Orange is a strong, autumnal colour, which can be bold or earthy, depending on the tone. A warming colour, orange is becoming more popular in its muted shades, for example peach or terracotta, both of which add a subtle interest to a wedding outfit. Bright oranges are fun and flamboyant and are sure to raise a smile on your wedding day!
For each bride to-be, purchasing the ideal wedding outfit can be a tough procedure. Many of them may possibly attempt no less than 15 to 20 wedding outfits before selecting the dress of their fantasy. Continually try to pick a dress that will complement your body shape and in the meantime highlight your positives. If you want to make a uniquely designed marriage dress, then it is astute to begin the making procedure no less than a couple of months before the service. It is critical to think of your shape, whether you plan to shop the dress or make it.

Just catching up – seems there has been an interruption or two, and forfeits (?). Ends tomorrow.
Glamorgan 340-9 dec (Scriven 2-3, Sole 2-56, Searle 2-67, one wicket each for Stevenson, Holland, Hart) & 0-0
Hampshire 0-0 & 8-1 (Organ 0)
PS: 2.20pm Friday and the score hasn't changed, so I guess it's raining in Wales. As Tom Jones might observe, "It's Not Unusual".
Key 50 over games today: Kent and Gloucs look well-placed so far. In the Headingley game, I'm not sure Pakistan will last 50 overs …
PPS The only problem with my 2nd XI thought is that Glams match in Cardiff is going ahead – and Glams are handily placed which is good news for Hampshire. Also rain in Gloucs v Somerset – one point each would be a good result for us!

The Dorset Cricket Society have given a surprise 90th Birthday party to Alan Rayment today, down in Bournemouth. Cricket author Stephen Chalke and another of our 'Bloggers', Alan Edwards (HCS) were there, but the special guest was Mike Barnard – wheelchair bound these days, but still cheerful. It was lovely to see my fellow Old Portmuthian!
Mike watches Alan opening one of his presents – a signed copy of the official history of 1957 – and below, the cake.

We have every reason to be hopeful of qualification: we have nine points. No other side has more than six points right now, but Kent, Gloucs & Surrey have a game in hand.
We can hope that everyone else beats each other, but here's a gloomy scenario from the remaining matches
We lose both matches (Glams & Somerset) and finish on nine
Somerset beat Gloucs and us, finish on 10
Kent lose to Gloucs, but beat Surrey & Essex, finish on 10
Sussex beat Glams & Essex, finish on 10
Gloucs lose to Somerset but beat Kent & Middx, finish on 10
Surrey lose to Kent but beat Middx & Glams, finish on 10
We end up in sixth place!
Sorry Mick & Keef but "It's Not All Over Now"
(There are alternative scenarios that are just as gloomy!)

Almost 3pm and I'm just back from a very interesting day at the Ageas Bowl (of which more later), but with hardly any idea what's been happening at Merchant Taylor's.
Obviously a bit of weather/damp but I guess we'd settle for that target? Looking at the Vince/Taylor nine overs I'm assuming it's a pitch for seamers not spinners – and we are chasing, as we've done in every 50 overs game so far.
The result & abandonment yesterday suited us, Essex dominating Glamorgan today doesn't, so best we win.

Among the analyses of England's dreadful display, is a piece by Simon Hughes on the BBC site where he reports that since 2014 England have given debuts to 14 batsmen who between them have averaged just 26.
The best of them (therefore boosting the average) is Hameed, who since his injury cannot score a run, next comes Ballance who apparently ruined his chances of a comeback by failing to be selected in the winter, then Buttler and Robson. There are four men below Vince in 10th place; Lyth, Westley, Duckett and Jennings who's now returning.
I'd suggest those figures tell us much about the current quality, structure and scheduling of the county championship

My earlier report wasn't very clear, so here's the full story. As Paul says, another good win.
Glams 2nd XI 131 all out (Currie 4-15, Sole 2-17, Stevenson 2-23); Hampshire won by 5 wickets: F Organ 65*, Stevenson 13*, Dickinson 22, Middleton 14, Ervine 0, Holland 9, Scriven 3.

The High Court of Maharashtra has dismissed the petition challenging the LAWCET which was conducted in Maharashtra on 18th and 19-June-2016. The petition has been filed by Shalini Kotian, a law student that the state didn't have any power to conduct CET.
The lawyer of Shalini, Pradnya Talekar argued that the government hadn't given adequate time to prepare for the examination. She also argued that the syllabus and the lit of the examiners were not transparent.
It has been argued by the government lawyer that the CET was introduced through a notification under Maharashtra Universities Act and the examination is applicable for the admission into both government and private junior colleges. The state has also notified the dates and pattern of examination in advance and the court can't declare the entire process as invalid. The government has taken the advice of Bar Council of India before issuing the notification.
The CET for the admission into has been introduced this year in Maharashtra. The examination received a positive response.

Transcript Slajd 1 - The Economics Network
DEE 2015 Monte Carlo simulation and visualization as advanced research and teaching tools for microeconomics Case study: bundling of financial services Tomasz Kopczewski Goals … to present my philosophy/methodology of economic education ( engineering of economic education) … to introduce new teaching scheme and tools using bundling of financial services as a case study. My philosophy of economic education Getting to know the economy through experiments ….. through the various types of experiments Type 1 experiment First type of experiments (behavioural, game theory and market classroom experiments) are well known. They are used by me and my team as part of blended learning or m-learning. We are using gamification techniques to enhance students' motivation. First step: on-line experiment before lecture (a sort of flipped classroom technic) Students motivated with the credits become homo oeconomicus at the experiment Second step: The lecture is a confrontation of experimental results with the theory of economics What about ethics? -> Winning strategy is cooperation and trust -> Experiment design include tools to create social capital Type 1 experiment Together with my colleague dr Robert Borowski, we developed the software for conducting experiments using different media in different environments ( m-learnig, e-learning, …) Moodle + BigBlueButton LabSEE.com Ready for MOOC (capacity now: max ~ 2000 participants at one experiment) Type 2 experiment "Models are experiments, and experiments are models" Mäki (2005) The economic models are a tool to experiment if we use symbolic computation programs (CAS) – clue of Felix Klein ideas (1905) His postulates of mathematic reform were: i) model thinking ii) solution of the problem should be presented as a function iii) visualization of the results EXAMPLE We have the simple model of supply and demand with tax t and N firms (parameters). The solution - tax revenue T as a function of t and N is not nice. But … Maxima (CAS) as a scientific calculator Type 2 experiment … by visualization tools of MAXIMA we obtain nice 3D Leffer surface Maxima (CAS) as a visualization tool Visualization Type 3 experiment The economy is never at the equilibrium. However, we describe the economy using partial or general equilibrium models. On the basis of real data we can conduct the calibrated Monte Carlo simulation, and find an area where the equilibrium can be found (Leibenstein, 1976), (McCloskey, 1998) Why should we look for an area not a point? The point solution can be misleading. EQULIBRIUM FOOLS US !!!!! Example: A very simple system of linear equations may contain an element of instability. One of the parameters can be biased with measurement error ε. 0.31 + 0.22 = 0.2 (1 + )1 + 0.82 = 0.3 The solution to this system of equations can be unstable even for small values of error term ε. For example: the error ε = 0.19 x1 = 50 the error ε = 0.21 x1 = - 50 How we can incorporate the type 3 of experiment to our teaching work We can prepare an ad hock research in which: - in the first stage student are acting as subjects of the research or experiment - in next stage students are acting as researchers which are examining real word problems using calibrated Monte Carlo simulation Schema of the work Lecturer : 1. should answer the questions: i) what storytelling lying behind the model; ii) what are the connections between the model and reality 2. should find a real problem which is important for the students 3. prepare the ad hock research to examine the problem with students (a sort of flipped classroom technic) 4. at lecture present a theory based on research using the data from ad hock research 5. crate a tool to conduct "calibrated simulation" to work with students Step 1: What storytelling lies behind the model ? What is the connection between the model and reality ? Why lectures should answer the questions above in the first step? When starting with this question then can change the bad practice* *bad practice: - on the lecture theory is presented (mainly) - there is no time to deal with real problems "…but after next level of education you will be able to use the model in you research" it means NEVER because on the next stage students will hear: "…but after next level of education you will be able to use the model in you research" Step 1 Why storytelling? Philosophical view We (economists) describe mathematical notation. our reality using But… all economic models are storytelling (Gibbard and Varian, 1978). We should have the reason to do it or it is only rhetoric (McCloskey, 1998). What we are going to say about bundling? Storytelling about bundling? Bundling is a monopolistic price strategy to sell two or more goods together as one product. Economists by constructing this model are trying to answer the question: It is good or bad practice for economy? Is this practice hurting consumers? Should we stop this practice ??? A bit of history of economic thought Example 1: Cournot effect. Should cupper and zinc be produced separately in two smelters or only in one smelter should produce this two metals and their mixture - brass. Pros: The scope economics – monopolist is able to produce cheaper these two metal in one factory Cons: Monopolist can create price strategy which can hurt consumers Example 2: Stigler examined the antitrust law in which the is no possibility to sell films as a bundle (Block-Booking) Bundling of films (textbook example of films distributed in 1977) The Other Side of Midnight Star Wars Question: Which film was the "Blockbuster" for 20th Century Fox? 15 Bundling of films Expected value of films for the cinema owners. "Blockbuster" "Little movie" Bundle Cinema A 70 35 90 Cinema B 40 65 90 (2*40)=80 (2*35) =70 150/180 If the cinema owners' valuation of the films are negatively correlated then cinemas and film distributors are gaining. 16 Formal model of bundling (1) Adams and Yellen (1976) presented more formal analysis of the problem Monopolistic firm • produces two goods x1, x2 • marginal cost of production is c1 = c2, • no economies of scale and scope /cost of bundle equals sum of separate costs cb = c1 + c2 Consumers • want to buy only one unit of good x1 and x2, marginal utility of a second unit of each good = 0 • goods x1, x2 are neither substitutes or complements to each other / reservation price of bundle equals sum of separate reservation prices rb = r1 + r2 17 Formal model of bundling (2) The firm can apply three pricing strategies sale of these two goods: Pure Bundle Firm sells only the bundle at a price pb r2 pb Bundle is purchased rb = r1 + r2 >= pb Nothing is purchased pb r1 Formal model of bundling (3) r2 Pure Components Firm sells goods separately at their separate prices x2 is purchased r2 >= p2 and r1 < p1 x1 and x2 are purchased r1 >= p1 and r1 >= p1 p2 Nothing is purchased x1 is purchased r1 >= p1 and r2 < p2 p 1* r1 Formal model of bundling (4) r2 Mixed Bundling Firm sells good separately or as a bundle p1 x2 is purchased x1 and x2 are purchased Nothing is purchased x1 is purchased p1 r1 20 Real problem of bundling (1) Polish economy is a kind of field experiment. Some areas of the economy are over-regulated, and the other completely unregulated. Bundling is completely not a subject of regulation in the banking sector. For example, when taking a mortgage the borrower must buy a bundle consisting of: loan, bank account, insurance, credit card. The banking law does not have any kind of regulation concerning this issue. Student's case: Consumers of banking services have to accept new functionality of credit cards of which they do not want – PayPass function. The lack of regulation of bundling in banking sector has affected the students themselves. Real problem of bundling (2) Pay Pass payments raised concern at the beginning of its implementation and those fears were justified: - If the card is stolen there was no way to verify it - NTC device (Near Field Communication) could serve as a tool for hacking credit cards in public transport -banks did not bear any liability in case of theft of funds from client accounts This problem that more drastic that banks did not provide for the possibility of purchasing these services separately and in the initial phase of the introduction of new payment cards there was no technical possibility of deactivating the service by PayPass providers. Sales package in the form of a credit card with PayPass function was a good pretext to create an ad hoc survey: Ad hock research (1) The survey was conducted on the labSEE.com platform. A few weeks before the lecture, students had to answer only two questions: 1) What is your highest price that you are willing to pay for the annual use of a credit card with a limit of 10'000 zl per month (ca. 1'700 ₤) in which you have 54 days to repay the debt without interest, after this time the interest rate is 10%. This card is protected with chip. You can not use this card with Pay Pass contactless technology. 2) What is your highest price that you are willing to pay for annual additional functionality of payment card, through which you can pay in stores by applying contactless payment card to the reader? The transactions will be limited to 50 zl (ca. 10 ₤), and above this amount the PIN or signature will be required. It was possible to have a negative valuation - which was an approximation of the discomfort of having this type of service. Ad hock research (2) The results from questionnaire provided the basis for the presentation of theories about bundling during lectures. They were also a pretext to discuss whether it is possible to introduce negative valuation in bundling model. * Full presentation of models and theories will be included in the paper. 100 0 -100 -200 r. price of PayPass 200 Ad hock research (3) -100 0 100 200 300 r. price of credit card Results: Some people considered as undesirable both to have a credit card or PayPass service (negative reservation prices) There is no significant correlation (0.14) between reservation prices of payment cards and PayPass service Ad hock research (4) 100 -100 0 demand.1 200 300 Demend for Credit Card Demend for PayPass 0 50 100 150 These data can be used to construct the demand functions. Q – How can we interpret this kind of "real" demand function? Ad hock research (5) The results are the basis for determining optimal pricing strategies for the monopolistic firm, assuming zero cost Max profit Consumer Surplus Price of bundle Price of Credit Card Price of Pay Pass Pure Bundle 4560 6972 120 - - Pure Components 5314 10296 - 60 59 Mixed Bundling 5251 10296 118 59 59 Ad hock research (6) These points are representation of real students choices. They can personally refer to the effects of "hypothetical" monopoly pricing policy and have a personal attitude to the problems presented at the lecture. Pure Bundle Ad hock research (7) Pure Components Ad hock research (8) Calibrated simulation (1) These test results are only a rough approximation of real student's valuations, as: 1) The students do not ask themselves these questions, and most of their purchases are the result of impulsive behaviour. 2) Method of testing and sampling did not meet the criteria of scientific study However, these results represent a kind of benchmark to run MC simulation, through which you can specify the area of pricing strategies acceptable to the company and the impact of these strategies on social welfare. From the educational point of view, it is desirable to carry out this type of calibrated simulation, because students no longer see the outcome as single point, and start to have an overall picture of the issue. Calibrated simulation (2) MC was used to simulate the two-dimensional normal distribution. Parameters of marginal distributions were determined by estimating the average and variance of reservation prices in this study. These values and the same distribution has been adopted as a starting point. With the tools created by the teacher, students can experiment with this simulation. Mean of reservation prices Sd of reservation prices Credit Card 43.57 77.26 PayPass 4.21 54.96 Calibrated simulation (3) Codes prepared by the teacher allow for very different simulation. Students can themselves create and check how "robust" are the monopoly pricing strategies on changes in distributions of reservation prices by binding parameters of these distributions. In the case of two-dimensional normal distribution it can be examined both by the influence of changes in mean and variance of marginal distributions, as well as the correlation between the offering price. Calibrated simulation (4) Below are the results of one experiment with the marginal distribution of reservation price It is an attempt to answer the question, what happens if consumers will be afraid to use this technology and its valuation will decrease even more. Translating this to changes in simulation parameters, it means the decrease in the average reservation price of PayPass. Mean Calibrated simulation (5) In order to better understand the mechanics of the model, there was prepared an animation with in which the average drop of 2 in each frame of the animation. As can be seen, change of average in the distribution of reservation price does not affect drastically the profit maximizing pricing strategies, and only changes the number of buyers. Calibrated simulation (6) Changing the number of buyers least affected the Mixed Bundling (MB) strategy, although the optimal strategy is Pure Components (PC) because it gives the highest profits regardless of the average. The impact of changes in average on consumer surplus is similar. Tools Alpha version of the R package bundling to simulate pricing strategies will come soon. It will be available at (Authors: Tomasz Kopczewski, Ireneusz Miernik, Maciej Sobolewski): https://github.com/tomvar/bundling/ This package allows for analysing social welfare with Monte Carlo pricing strategies (PB, MB, PC) depending on: - marginal distribution of reservation prices - copula function - complementarity and substitutability of goods - economic scale and scope of production Software for creating and carrying out economic experiments on-line along with many examples of experiments is already available at: www.labsee.com Teaching materials for the advanced microeconomics based on symbolic computation software (CAS) (MAXIMA) and Monte Carlo simulations in R-CRAN (forthcoming in spring 2016) Thank you for attention !

The ICT sector has taken Bangladesh to new heights
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's decision to emphasize information and communication technology, or ICT, 10 years ago was one of the most forward thinking steps taken by the current government.
By predicting the widespread reach of technology, and focusing our resources in the ICT sector, Bangladesh has ensured its place in the future.
And today, a decade later, that vision, aptly dubbed Digital Bangladesh, has become a reality.
But the realization of this dream has not come about automatically; it has taken 10 years of governmental planning and people's efforts.
Ease of access to the internet has improved drastically: As of April 2018, 150 million people in Bangladesh had access to the internet, which was a mere 20 million 10 years ago.
And by focusing on massive ICT-related infrastructural improvements, the people have benefitted greatly.
Not only have the installations of submarine cables improved the speed of the internet services being provided in conjunction with plans to set up 12 IT parks, the government has also provided training to the Bangladeshi youth, creating jobs and nurturing skills which have already made their mark on the global stage.
In a recent study, of all outsourced online workers in the world, Bangladesh is now in second place with 16.8%. With a clear drive to train people in various fields such as graphic design, web design and development, and digital marketing, the government has succeeded in creating a generation of highly-skilled workers making their mark on the global stage.
But challenges lie ahead, the biggest of which is our education sector, which lags behind in providing the necessary training required to our youth. It is only through tapping into the potential that we can continue to make a mark, and achieve progressive sustainable development.

Are there any chocolate factories nearby Lucerne or Zurich that allow a tour of the actual factory? I looked up the Lindt factory outlet in Kilchberg, but it seems that's only a shop and the factory is not open to tourists.
Hello Enigma,
The chocolate factories are normally not open for visit, as they have very strict hygiene rules and it's tricky opening the production to public.
However I know that you can make your own chocolate at Chocolate Frey Visitors Center in Buchs, near Aarau, not too far from nor Zurich or Lucerne and also Lindt offers an event creating chocolate yourself, check below links for details: - www.chocolatfrey.ch/en /visitor-centre/overview - www.zuerich.com/en/vis it/tours-excursions/chocolate-experience
Hope this helps, otherwise you'll simply have to eat the chocolate and rely on the production process by testing the result.. :)
Best, Steph
Thanks Steph,
I guess it is the Lindt outlet then! My son won't mind not having to see the chocolate making process as long as he gets to eat it in plenty (same for me) :)

The NRX Lite is markedly lighter, more accurate, and it generates incredible line speed. Feel free to stop by and cast one at Red's Fly Shop the next time you come our way.
Our review of the NRX is a very precise, lightweight trout rod designed for casting small dries at high speed and/or when conditions call for long, delicate casts using extremely light leaders to help you fool spooky fish, the NRX LP rods are the answer.
They are smooth casting, soft tapers for managing long, whisper-thin leaders and small to medium-sized dry flies. They track true for exceptional accuracy and control, plus they are light as a feather with beautiful lines, featuring select species cork and your choice of our original, stealthy look in matte black with bright blue wraps or a more traditional Evergreen with subtle green wraps and silver trim. When the fish get finicky and the water gets low and clear you will have the answer... NRX LP!
What makes the G Loomis NRX different?The NRX construction method is completely unique to rod manufacturing. By utilizing a stiffer, lighter and higher density carbon married with Nano Silica resin systems, G Loomis can provide a material that provides all kinds of positive benefits to anglers. The rods are lighter, yet more durable, extremely sensitive, and yet stiffer. This is designed to give you an on the water sensitivity through the rod blank that anglers have never felt before either in a G.Loomis rod or any other.
Why the NRX versus other rods?This rod is for advanced casters, or casters that plan to be someday. It is designed to generate a lot of line speed and drive casts a long ways, accurately, and often into some wind. And it does. It is a fast action rod but still does have a great feel. In a lot of ways the G Loomis NRX just "has it", you know what I talking about. That energy that you can feel when you pick up a fly rod. It is so light, so crisp, and you can feel every vibration of the fly, line, and fish through the blank. We do a lot of casting lessons and competitive casting at our fly fishing campus at Canyon River Ranch and it is funny to listen to people's reaction when they pick up the NRX, oooooohhh! It just has that feel.

Introduction Theme WordPress Professional Free
Within the past 10 decades, I have used a lot of different WordPress topics and have been very disappointed. Up until recently, I had been using MyThemeShop, which was fairly excellent. But I had to perform a great deal of customization to allow it to perform and work how I needed it to. A couple of weeks ago I decided to give GeneratePress a try, and let me just say, it's by far the finest WordPress theme I've found in 10 years. I had been dismissed and am now moving all of my websites to GeneratePress. I will enter exactly why in my comprehensive GeneratePress review below. And if you're wondering, yes I've tried Genesis, Astra, OceanWP, Avada, X motif, Divi as well as several other lightweight and thicker multicolored themes. Theme WordPress Professional Free
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
GeneratePress Review
GeneratePress is a free WordPress theme made by Tom Usborne, a developer from Canada. I've actually seen it for many years from the WordPress repository. Most of you realize that I'm fairly picky when it comes to web performance, so I tend to ignore everything from the repository. Typically because a lot of things on there is not that great, or not supported for long. However, in this case, this was a mistake. The theme currently has over half a million downloads, 80,000+ active matches, with over 500 5-star ratings. So clearly Tom is doing some thing right here.
I Actually installed the free version of the motif and in a matter of 15 minutes bought the superior version. I could tell right off the bat, the programmer was thinking precisely how I was imagining a theme should work. And I'll go into that more below, but let us first look at a number of the qualities. I will be covering the premium edition of the theme, since it's worth very penny. In fact, Tom, in the event that you read this and so are visiting Scottsdale, Arizona, coffees on me.
Super lightweight and quick. Modular design allowing you to enable/disable things you don't want running. This is one of the biggest reasons I adore GeneratePress.
Responsive, looks fantastic across all devices.
Schema built-in, for greater outcomes in SERPs.
Impressive integration with all the WordPress Customizer. I haven't been a lover of the customizer previously, but Tom does it right.
Compatible with popular plugins, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, EDD, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WPML. Great browser service back to IE8.
Additionally, it works great with the favorite fast-growing Elementor page builder. If you want to dive into even more customizations, these really are a terrific combo. I've also read that people using Beaver Builder have experienced success.
Translation ready.
Font awesome built-in.
Tons of hooks and filters which make it good for developers.
Excellent active support from the programmer. On average, 3 updates per month.
The Documentation is also incredible. Besides have great documentation on their site, the subject has existed long enough that what I wholeheartedly throughout the setup procedure was found inside a few seconds in their own forum.
Going Deep Into GeneratePress
Now it is Time for the fun part! I always test a new theme right out of the box with no customizations to see how fast the base is. This tells me a great deal of what I can expect by the time I add everything for this. Running the stock GeneratePress WordPress motif on Kinsta hosting clocked in at a whopping 265 ms load time. I was very impressed.
One Thing I was worried about with GeneratePress was that the modular layout was going to generate a lot of big files, but that isn't the case. You can tell that Tom literally worked hard on making sure every file loaded in GeneratePress is as small as possible. Together with HTTP/2, the number of documents is not as important. But the dimensions is! Have a look at a few of the core GeneratePress files below:
/generatepress/css/unsemantic-grid. min.css 2.9 KB
/generatepress/style. css 7.1 KB
/generatepress/css/mobile. min.css 1.6 KB
/generatepress/js/navigation. min.js 1.1 KB
/generatepress/js/dropdown. min.js 1.5 KB
That is a developer that cares about functionality! And I've Seen exactly the same during each of the premium add-ons. They are as small as possible get them. In fact, Font Awesome is most likely the biggest file contained. And that isn't even his. With Font Awesome 5 arriving round the corner, we can anticipate this to get smaller also.
The premium add-ons Are setup in what I'd call a modular design. It is possible to activate/deactivate anything you are not using to ensure they do not load on your site. As the co-developer of this perfmatters plugin which has a script manager built-in, I felt right at home for this. Everything should be made this way.
If You're curious, I am using the next add-ons on this website:
Page Header
No Child Theme Needed
One of The best features of GeneratePress is that I no more need to use a young child motif . This makes my life so much easier. No more editing my functions.php or header.php files. I will literally upgrade my GeneratePress motif this exact moment rather than shed a single customization. The hooks add-on certainly can help make this possible. It allows you to add custom code/PHP everywhere throughout your WordPress website. Theme WordPress Professional Free
Other Things I Love About GeneratePress
On every Page/post that you have a great deal of options. You can change the sidebar layout and the footer widgets.
You Can easily swap a page between the default to a complete width page, in addition to disable elements.
The WordPress customizer choices is really where GeneratePress really shines! Remember, lots of these options are permitted by the premium add-ons. I can not show you everything, otherwise, we would be here daily. However, let me show you couple which really come in handy.
Responsive Columns
Another Plugin I highly recommend grabbing is the free Lightweight Grid Columns. Not to my surprise, this can be created by the exact same programmer as GeneratePress. It enables you a super simple way to incorporate responsive columns into any page or post. Features include:
Desktop grid thickness
Tablet grid width
Mobile grid thickness
Insert Customized classes
Insert custom inline designs
Equal height columns
Here is An example under:
You might want to Also grab his amazing WP Show Posts plugin too. See my featured posts on the sidebar of this site? That's using the WP Display Posts plugin. I have it set to show posts from a specific"featured" category. You can also have it show past modified/updated articles, recent posts, etc.. I'm using the free version and it works great.
To Begin, Click here to download GeneratePress.
Sections Add-on
The Sections add-on in the premium edition of GeneratePress allows you to do all kinds of things in terms of design. Consider it like a webpage builder without the bloat. GeneratePress is certainly not only for blogs! I am in reality utilizing GeneratePress for our ecommerce site (perfmatters.io) which is running Easy Digital Downloads. Feel free to check it out. However, as you can see below, it looks like a site.
Speed Tests
For those Of you who are regular readers, you probably did not even notice I changed the whole theme that powers woorkup.com. It only took me about an hour for GeneratePress to mimic my MyThemeShop theme which I had spent a year customizing. Here is a comparison under.
woorkup.com Old MyThemeShop Theme
My old MyThemeShop motif was already pretty quickly, but I spent a great deal of time customizing it. In fact, I've gotten a great deal of emails from you guys asking me to publish all my customizations. My advice now is, simply get GeneratePress!
woorkup.com New GeneratePress Theme
Together with the New GeneratePress theme I managed to achieve faster speeds and 600 fewer lines of code! And keep in mind, I don't have a child theme. Each of the customizations were created with the awesome GP hooks and snippets plugin (both CSS and PHP).
Like the WordPress theme I have working on woorkup? You're in luck. Tom asked if he can make a copy of woorkup for the brand new GeneratePress site library. I am pleased to let you know that now you can put in my woorkup motif on your own GeneratePress site with only a single click! It is known as the Marketer theme. Get started using a great blog design immediately.
brianjackson.io Old Array Theme's Theme
Additionally, I Moved over my private site, brianjackson.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a theme from Array Themes. It is a pretty basic minimal website, since I don't use it to get much. As you can see it loaded pretty fast.
brianjackson.io New GeneratePress Theme
I was Able to replicate the whole appearance 100% in GeneratePress in under an hour. And since you can view it loads faster! Amazing. I was even able to eliminate a couple plugins which weren't needed because of GP.
forgemedia.io Old Array Theme's Theme
I also Moved over our organization website, forgemedia.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a theme from Array Themes. It's a pretty basic minimal site, as we just use it for our LLC. Since you can see it already loaded pretty fast. Theme WordPress Professional Free
forgemedia.io New GeneratePress Theme
I was Able to move everything over and get it looking exactly how I needed it in under one hour. And since you can see it loads even faster! Amazing. I managed to get rid of a total of four plugins and it dropped my total page weight 2x!
I can't express my Excitement about finding GeneratePress and I'm moving over all of my sites to it (which comprises several EDD e-commerce websites ). Once I have my 9 websites all running in GP with no child topics, my entire life will be a breeze! The developer has restored my faith in multi-purpose subjects , and that when done the correct way, can actually perform quicker.
And The best thing isI finally have a billion more options to choose from than I did earlier.
What GeneratePress Is Good For…
GeneratePress Is the ideal option for performance-focused users who want to have the ability to personalize and control exactly how their site appears.
You Can make GeneratePress do pretty much anything. And because GeneratePress has a focus on functionality, the site that you build will have a fantastic base to make it load quickly.
Because Of that, those who assemble WordPress sites for a living love GeneratePress. They will normally pair it with a WordPress site builder and use it for literally any kind of website.
However GeneratePress Might Not Be A Fantastic Fit If…
…you Need something which will immediately appear perfect out of the box.
For Example, if you know you want to create a style blog, you might be happier choosing a niche theme that is developed exclusively for trend bloggers.
While GeneratePress has gotten a great deal simpler to use, as a result of its pre-built Site Library, GeneratePress still looks very barebones if you initially install it.
So To create GeneratePress look how you want it to, you will almost certainly need to go in and personalize things. And while the significant advantage of GeneratePress is how customizable it is, some users, particularly casual users, do not like having to make those changes themselves.
GeneratePress Features That Make It Unique
Here Are some of the specific features that clarify why GeneratePress is so common.
Lots Of Customization Options In The Real-Time WordPress Customizer
Past Functionality, another area where GeneratePress does well is its customization options.
GeneratePress Utilizes the WordPress Customizer for customization, and this is convenient as you will be able to see all the changes that you make in real time.
The Free version of GeneratePress gives you decent possibilities, but should you have GeneratePress Premium, you will be able to customize pretty much everything about your site.
For Example, if you go in the Layout region, you can configure detailed settings for yourown:
- Header — you can move your header round and alter its styling
- Navigation — GeneratePress gives you two different navigation options, including sticky menus
- Sidebar design — you can utilize one or two sidebars
- Blog post design — like featured picture size, metadata, etc..
- Footer layout — like how many widgets to add
Likewise, That the Typography place enables you to control the font for each and every element on your site, including buttons:
And You also get a detailed region to control the colour of every single element on your website.
All In all, GeneratePress will give you much more customization choices from the WordPress Customizer compared to most other topics. This level of detail might be a little overwhelming if you're a newcomer. But as soon as you realize how the settings come together, you will have full control on how your site looks.
Optimized Performance And Fast Page Load Times
Across All its attributes, GeneratePress consistently includes a focus on exceptional performance and tidy code. The entire motif is less than 30 kB, and it will be about as small as you are ever going to find for a WordPress theme. Even most other optimized WordPress themes are still 200+ kB. And some badly coded topics can even surpass 1 MB!
GeneratePress Also has no code dependencies, which helps you avoid the leave obstructing error that Google Pagespeed Insights often mentions.
Put That together, and you get a superfast-loading motif. How quickly? To give you an idea, I ran a small test.
First, I put up an empty site using a random popular WordPress.org motif (Envo Magazine). After testing its functionality with Pingdom, it
- Had a performance tier of 77
- Loaded in 1.05 seconds
- Had a page size of 243.9 kB
- Had 15 asks
That is Not bad at all! But GeneratePress can perform.
Next, I activated GeneratePress on the same test site without altering anything else. Here's how GeneratePress did:
- Had a performance tier of 87, 10 points better
- Loaded in 666 ms, ~37% quicker
- Had a page size of 26.8 kB, ~90% smaller
- Had 9 asks, ~40% fewer
If You do that same test with other topics, you are going to continue to find that GeneratePress is one of the fastest-loading WordPress topics in existence. Theme WordPress Professional Free
Other Helpful Premium Extensions, Plus Much Modular Approach
Past Giving you more design controls from the WordPress Customizer, GeneratePress Premium also comes with a lot of other helpful features like:
- Elements — a unique feature that lets you create customized hooks, page headers, or design templates.
- Page Header — allows you create a exceptional page header on a per-page basis.
- Sections — this is sort of like lightweight page building. It permits you to create separate"sections" onto a page, each with their own layout and column preferences.
To Remain lightweight, GeneratePress also provides you a modular interface where you can select and choose exactly which features you would like to trigger.
That Way, you don't need to slow down your site for a quality which you're never going to use.
Pre-Made Starter Sites Make It Easier To Design Your Website
In The past, you needed to build GeneratePress websites from a blank canvas regardless of what, which left the motif difficult for casual users to install.
Earlier In 2018, however, the developer added a new Site Library attribute for GeneratePress Premium users that lets you easily import any among those 25+ pre-built demo sites.
You Can import them right from the WordPress dashboard.
Yes this Website still uses GeneratePress! All I did was click on a few buttons to import a demo site.
Page-Level Settings Give You Comprehensive Control Over Every Piece Of Content
With Most topics, each post and page will use the same configurations for the most part. You might have some custom templates or formats — however you do not have very much control beyond that.
GeneratePress Changes that by providing you a new Layout meta box for every single post and page:
You Can utilize this meta box to:
- Change the number of sidebars your site uses, or the sidebar orientation (such as changing the sidebar from right to left)
- Choose how many footer widgets to utilize
- Disable certain components, such as your header, navigation menu, post featured image, post title, or footer
- Produce a special"container" for your page builder
Where These controls are the most useful is if you are using a WordPress site builder.
By Disabling certain elements, you're able to create the correct baseline for your own page builder layout, making it effortless to create custom articles as needed. Theme WordPress Professional Free
GeneratePress Pricing: Cheap And Works On Unlimited Sites
The Core GeneratePress theme is available for free at WordPress.org.
That said, If you're serious about using GeneratePress, I believe you should buy the GeneratePress Premium plugin, as that's what makes the theme so elastic. The free version doesn't give you almost as numerous settings from the WordPress Customizer. And you'll also lose out on the premade Site Library.
GeneratePress Premium can be still fairly affordable. It costs just $39.95, and that provides you use on unlimited websites . You'll also get a 40% discount if you would like to renew to keep on receiving support and upgrades after the first year (you can, of course, continue using GeneratePress following the first year without renewing — you won't get any more updates).
When You consider that the normal premium WordPress theme will often cost around $60, GeneratePress provides a great price.
As I said, I don't think GeneratePress is for everybody.
If You desire a niche-specific theme, you can probably save time by purchasing a theme that fits your needs for your market out of day one.
But If you're willing to spend some time altering settings, GeneratePress' style controls give you the flexibility to flip it into any type of WordPress website. Or, you may even be able to locate a starter site that fulfills your needs to save some time.
Additionally, It's among those fastest-loading WordPress topics that you will find. So if you're seeking the best performance possible, utilizing GeneratePress as your WordPress site's foundation is a great decision.
If You combine it with fast-loading hosting, you shouldn't have any problem making your website load in under one second. Theme WordPress Professional Free

A tearful Pistorius breaks down again in court as ballistics expert says athlete stood on his stumps and fired in a downward direction through door
- A ballistics expert revealed Pistorius was standing 7ft away when he fired
- He said shots were fired at Pistorius's shoulder height when on his stumps
- Pretoria High Court also heard how hundreds of police photos were taken at Pistorius's home in the hours following Reeva Steenkamp's death
- But the images 'appear to show evidence was moved' by police officers
- Touching evidence is in direct violation of investigation procedures
- A police photographer admitted pictures suggest evidence was moved
- Pistorius broke down into tears as the images were shown to the court
- It comes as a gun expert claimed Pistorius broke 'every rule in the book' by shooting without knowing who he was aiming at
Emotional: Oscar Pistorius sheds a tear during the cross examination of witnesses in his murder trial
Oscar Pistorius today broke down into tears as a ballistics experts described how bullets fired by the athlete killed his girlfriend.
Captain Chris Mangena told Pretoria High Court how Pistorius was standing at least seven feet from the closed toilet door when he shot through it at a 'slightly downwards angle', killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Captain Mangena said the bullets entered the toilet door below the shoulder level of Pistorius, if he were standing without prosthetic limbs.
Pistorius has always maintained he was on his stumps when he fired.
Prosecutors do not dispute the assertion, after initially alleging he was on his prosthetic limbs when he fired a total of four shots, three of which hit 29-year-old Ms Steenkamp.
Captain Mangena said that only one of the four shots ricocheted inside the lavatory, hitting the wall twice and breaking the tiles.
But he said the other three bullets 'disappeared somewhere between the door and the wall,' adding that he believed that had hit the 'target' straight away.
It is believed Ms Steenkamp was by the toilet in the bathroom when she was killed, but it has not yet been established during the trial whether she was sitting down on it.
Captain Mangena said he used thin rods and the beam from a laser mounted on a tripod to try to determine the trajectory of the bullets through the door.
He also described entry and exit wounds on Ms Steenkamp's right arm and her head, and bruises on her chest where a 'projectile' struck without penetrating.
It comes as a gun expert today said the athlete, who has passed a test on gun safety, 'broke every rule in the book' when he shot his girlfriend.
Pistorius, 27, is charged with premeditated murder for killing Reeva Steenkamp, 29.
Oscar Pistorius is seen with tears running down his face on the twelfth day of his trial for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Tuesday
Pistorius puts his thumbs in his ears as evidence about Reeva Steenkamp's head wounds is read to the court
Pistorius covers his eyes in the dock as bloody scenes following the shooting of his girlfriend are shown at the High Court in Pretoria, South Africa
Aftermath of the killing: This picture of Oscar Pistorius, bare-chested and covered in blood from the waist down, was taken by police shortly after the Paralympian shot Reeva Steenkamp at his home
Shocking: Blood can be seen down the athlete's left arm and on his shorts apparently from when he carried his dead girlfriend down the stairs after shooting her in the bathroom
Horrific: Blood is splattered all over the toilet where Miss Steenkamp was shot by Pistorius
He denies murder and says he shot his girlfriend accidentally, thinking she was an intruder in a toilet cubicle in the bathroom of his home.
Pistorius claims he then struck the toilet door with a cricket bat to get to Steenkamp after realizing what he had done.
But Andre Pritorius, the man who wrote the gun safety exam that Pistorius and all South Africans take before getting licensed to own a gun, told ABC News that shooting Steenkamp through a bathroom door violated a key rule on the test which states a shooter must know what or who the target is.
He said: 'That came as a big surprise to the general public because ... he got the answers correct when he took the test not too long ago, but unfortunately the night of the shooting he's broken every rule.'
Meanwhile Pretoria High Court was told earlier on Tuesday how police crime scene pictures appear to suggest key evidence was moved by officers which would be a breach of investigation procedures.
Evidence: The bullet holes and shattered wood where Pistorius struck the door are clearly seen here
Clues: Based on the angle and height of the four bullet holes seen here, Pistorius fired his gun on his stumps, the court heard

Warrant Officer Bennie van Staden took hundreds of photos of the scene at Pistorius's Pretoria home in the hours after the double-amputee athlete killed Miss Steenkamp before dawn on February 14 last year
The pictures included blood marks found in the property, bullet casings, a gun and a cricket bat found inside Pistorius's bathroom.
Police photographer van Staden admitted some of the photos suggest evidence had been moved by officers during the evidence gathering process.
The revelation came as chief defense lawyer Barry Roux challenged previous police witnesses, seeking to uncover contradictions and reported mishaps to support his argument that officers bungled the investigation.
Roux minutely examined many photos taken by van Staden and another police officer and pointed out that objects at the crime scene had been moved and were in different positions in photos.
Roux also used time of day records on the images to show that the two policemen taking photographs were in the same room at points, even though van Staden testified he was working alone.
Roux compared photos of the bloody bathroom scene taken by van Staden with photos in the bathroom taken by another policeman, identified as a Col. Motha. Both were in the bathroom at that time, according to the times shown on the images.
On trial: Oscar Pistorius checks his mobile phone as he sits in the dock waiting for the proceedings of his murder trial to begin at the High Court in Pretoria, South Africa, on Tuesday
Hearing: The court heard that police photographs show evidence was moved by officers at the Paralympic athlete's home in the hours following Reeva Steenkamp's death. Pistorius is pictured in the dock on Tuesday
Graphic: A police picture taken at the scene of the cricket bat Pistorius says he used to break down the toilet door after he accidentally shot Miss Steenkamp. The court heard on Tuesday that police photographs suggest the bat was moved by officers in violation of investigation procedures
Testimony: Police photographer Bennie van Staden admitted in court on Tuesday that images from the scene at Pistorius's home suggest there was 'movement of the bat'
Pistorius' lawyer also asked van Staden to explain differences in photographs of the 9 mm pistol that Pistorius used to shoot Steenkamp through a closed toilet door, and of a cricket bat that the Paralympian used to hit the door.
'It seems there was movement of the bat' in the interval between two photographs taken by van Staden, Roux said.
'It seems like that,' van Staden conceded.
The police photographer also acknowledged that two photographs of the gun indicated that a mat underneath it could have been shifted.
Roux said one photo also differed from the other because it showed a wooden splinter on the gun handle.
Two other photos of objects on the bedroom floor next to Pistorius' bed showed tissues, what was identified as a CD or disc and a remote control were in different positions.
Van Staden said he did not know who moved them, but he remembered the disc was previously under the bed.
'How does it happen that there's such a great disturbance of that scene?' Roux asked.

Splatter: Pistorius says he used the bat to break down the door to get to his model girlfriend after shooting her, he claims, by mistake thinking she was a burglar
Crime scene: This image shows the bathroom where Pistorius fired the fatal shots and the toilet in the background where Miss Steenkamp was hit by three bullets
Roux was trying to build a picture of a cluttered and confused crime scene with many officers working on it and possibly contaminating the evidence.
Van Staden has said he also took nine photographs of Pistorius soon after the shooting, with the athlete seen in some of the images standing in blood-stained prosthetic legs and wearing blood-soaked shorts in the garage of his home.
Van Staden's testimony on Tuesday was delayed by over an hour to give the policeman time to collect photo records and discs at the defense's request.
Van Staden had said he would have to retrieve photo records from office administration, but then said Tuesday he had forgotten that he was actually in possession of the master copies of the shooting scene photographs.
Pistorius appeared emotional throughout much of the hearing on Tuesday.

Reeva Steenkamp's mother June (poictured far left) was also in court to hear the proceedings
Ms Steenkamp's mother June was sitting in the front row of the courtroom and had support from a female companion as further details of her daughter's death emerged.
Pistorius's uncle Arnold, aunt Lois and sister Aimee also attended to offer support to the sportsman who was visibly emotional throughout Tuesday's hearing.
Before proceedings got underway, journalists in the courtroom reported Arnold Pistorius introduced himself to Mrs Steenkamp and offered his condolences.
The introduction was the latest of a series of attempts by Pistorius's family to reach out to the Steenkamps.
The case was adjourned Tuesday afternoon and Captain Mangena will continue giving the rest of his evidence on Wednesday.

Well we all have to start somewhere - and as I am still nowhere near back to full strength yet - and the fact that rain stopped play - I felt pretty good that I achieved an hour today.
The blue sky disappeared soon after we arrived at the site
The pig farm is no more - all gone - wiped from the face of the earth
Eventually 5 homes will be built on this land - how things change!
The plot has fared the winter well, but I have so much to do!
It's not much I know - but I have made a start and planted almost 100 broad bean seeds
that wore me out! Not the spring chicken I used to be!
Talking of which.......
Dolly was in the run out of the rain and tucked up under 'her' flower pot concentrating on a laying an egg!
I have spent the afternoon, in the warm, indoors, reading.
Thanks for popping by

We have had some beautiful weather this week though. There was one day the sun was shining almost all day long. The days are getting noticeably longer now which is great. We can get more done.
Scot was out on one of the warm days we had. He'd been standing under the solar panels and the water was dripping on his coat. He has another airplane to play with. This one shoots plastic "missiles" out of the front. We seem to spend a lot of time looking for them now!
Scott's supervising while Susan cuts up some pumpkins. She'll boil them on the wood stove in the big pan and then can them (and make pumpkin bars).
She's also getting stuff together for our trip to Nevada this year. These are dried "pizza makings," (onions, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and olives). The olives are from a can but the rest is home-grown or foraged (mushrooms).
She also canned some mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
This is the mozzarella after canning. All of the jars sealed.
Another daughter and SIL came up to visit with their kids so I took the kids out on the snowmobile. This is Andrew who is 6.
This is Anna suited up and ready to go. She's 3.
Susan is dehydrating Cream Cheese for our trip.
Once it's sliced she spreads it on drying racks and ...
... puts them on the brackets above the wood stove. That's breakfast (pancakes) cooking on the stove.
I moved my reloading bench into the cabin because I'm tired of doing it in the shack. I worry about condensation in the winter when I heat it up from 10 to 60 degrees. I'm also working on my next book, the beginner's guide to reloading, so I need to actually reload some ammo to take pictures of the process.
Susan's most recent book, Food Storage; Bug-out Buckets, Specialty Buckets and Transition Buckets for Preppers is doing well on Amazon Kindle (it's also available in print). Check it out at:

Take Care Of Your Skin With Ennua!
Ennua Care Instant Wrinkle Reducer is here to help your skin from the inside out. We mean, this formula has instant wrinkle reducer in the title. And, we're guessing that's something that drew your attention right away. Let's face it, there are very few people on this earth that love the look of wrinkles. And, by the time they start spreading over your face, it's high time to do something about it. But, wrinkles aren't the only annoying symptom of aging your skin gets. For example, many people struggle with dark circles, saggy skin, age marks, and more. Well, Ennua Care Skin Care claims to fix all of it. And, you can order it for yourself by clicking any image on this page now!
Do you wish your skin looked more youthful? And, do you miss the days when your skin was bouncy, vibrant, and smooth? Well, you're not alone. Most people are frustrated when the hands of time start showing on their skin. And, it's important to find a product that cares for your skin while also fighting the signs of aging. Well, Ennua Care Anti Aging Cream claims to do both of these things. Not only does it say it can fight wrinkles, fine lines, saggy skin, and discoloration, but it also claims to help improve the health of your skin over time, too. And, that's incredibly important. Your skin needs the ultimate care while it's aging. So, what are you waiting for? Click below to get the best Ennua Care Face Cream Price of the year!
What Is Ennua Care Instant Wrinkle Reducer?
This is supposed to be skincare and anti-aging rolled into one. On their official Ennua Care Website, they talk a lot about how this formula is supposed to raise collagen levels in your skin. And, this is incredibly important for your skin. Because, as our skin ages, collagen decreases. And, it's collagen's main job to keep your skin healthy, smooth, and thick. So, as we lose collagen, we start developing wrinkles and other signs of aging.
That means it's important to fight back with a formula that puts your skin first. And, since Ennua Care Anti Aging Serum claims to help with collagen, we think this is a good place to start. You want something for your skin that helps revive collagen while also fighting signs of aging. Because, then you're taking care of the health of your skin at the same time as you're anti-aging it. And, that's a win-win for you and your skin. So, click the image above to order Ennua Care Skincare NOW!
Ennua Care Face Cream Reviews:
- Contains Anti-Wrinkle Peptides In It
- Supposed To Boost Collagen Production
- Also Claims To Help Fight Saggy Skin
- Says It Can Help With Discoloration Too
- Claims To Be An Antioxidant Booster
- Online EXCLUSIVE – Can't Get Anywhere Else
- Go Order Via Any Image Right NOW!
How Does Ennua Care Skin Care Work?
So, one of the things we like about Ennua Care Serum is that it uses peptides. Sometimes, with online offers like this, the formula doesn't talk about ingredients at all. And, that makes it almost impossible to review. Because, with good skincare comes good ingredients. And, when we can't see the ingredients in a formula, we don't know if the formula will truly help your skin or not. Thankfully, Ennua Care Instant Wrinkle Reducer Serum isn't playing games.
Instead, their website says that this formula features peptides. And, we're so excited about that. We're going to get into peptides a little more below in the ingredients section. But, when used correctly, they're basically little collagen boosting molecules. And, that's why we're so excited to see them in the Ennua Care Formula. Are you ready to give your skin what it deserves? Then, don't wait. Click any image on this page to order it for yourself now!
Ennua Care Ingredients: What's Inside?
As we said, we're excited that Ennua Care Anti Aging Cream uses both peptides and antioxidants. Both are good for your aging skin, as well as keeping skin healthy. In particular, peptides are interesting. Because, as we opened this review with, your skin loses collagen as it ages. And, it loses collagen due to factors like sun damage, stress, rubbing your skin too much, poor diet, and just general aging. But, peptides may be able to pump back up the collagen in your skin.
In fact, one study shows that peptides act like little collagen molecules in aging skin. And, that's especially promising because the more collagen your skin has, the healthier it is. Plus, it also looks younger with more collagen, which is what you really care about. So, if you want a formula that goes to bat for your skin and puts it first, why not give Ennua Care Cream a try today? Click any image to order your bottle before supplies sell out (again)!
How To Use Ennua Care Anti Aging Cream
- Start With Clean Skin – This is vitally important. Because, if you just apply Ennua Care Skin Care over dirty skin, you're trapping all of that into your pores. So, use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser to remove dirt and oil before applying both morning and night for best results.
- Pat Skin Dry – Use gentle patting motions for your skin. Because, rubbing your skin can cause more damage to your decreasing collagen levels. Plus, if you pat your skin dry, you leave behind a little moisture. And, this might help this anti-aging cream sink in faster.
- Apply As Much As Needed – Third, take Ennua Care Cream and apply it all over your face, eyes (gently), chest, and neck. Be sure to massage your skin while applying it for added circulation. And, don't forget to stay consistent with this routine, as it's better for your skin.
- Use It Morning And Night – Like we said, your skin likes consistency. So, try to use Ennua Care Cream every morning and night, no matter how tired or rushed you are.
- Don't Forget SPF – Finally, Ennua Care Anti Aging Skin Care doesn't have SPF in it. So, be sure to continue applying that every morning over this product for best protection.
How To Order Ennua Care Cream
The best thing you can do is try out Ennua Care Serum for yourself. And, you can easily do that by clicking any image on this page. Don't wait! Like we said, this is the only place to get this product. And, there's only a limited number of bottles. So, if you want to take your skincare routine up a notch, what are you waiting for? This peptide and antioxidant blend is here to serve your skin! So, don't wait another day without Ennua Care Instant Wrinkle Reducer! Click any image to order yours right now!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful mothers out there!
I don't know about all of you, but yesterday I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for all that my husband does for our family. Sure, the day was about celebrating mothers, and my husband and children did a great job of making me feel special and loved. I woke up to beautiful flowers, an enormous balloon, sweet cards, and a delicious breakfast, and the day ahead was relaxing and filled with family time. What could be better? But as I sat in church and watched my husband quietly sorting out disputes between the kids, explaining parts of the Mass, and reminding them to genuflect as we left the pew, I felt incredibly blessed. Our priest gave a great homily about honoring Our Blessed Mother, and honoring motherhood/fertility/children in general, and through it all I was thinking that without Joseph, Mary would have had a much harder time being the mother that she was to Jesus. Yes, God chose Mary to be the Mother of our Lord, but I have a feeling that he also hand-picked Joseph to be her most chaste spouse. St. Joseph protected Mary and provided for, and above all, he honored her and allowed her to fulfill God's call for her life.
So this morning, as I bask in the aftermath of a wonderful Mother's Day, I am thanking God for my husband, and for the wonderful family that He has blessed us with.
Mary, mother most pure, pray for us! St. Joseph, worthy spouse of Our Lady, pray for us!
