Summer of Soccer 2019
With three major international tournaments going on right now, soccer fans and...
The Thompson Cigar Company, the oldest mail order cigar company in the country, is having a Cigar Artisans event that will last the entire Super Bowl Week in Tampa, Florida.
At the Cigar Artisans you will get the chance to sample a few cigars such as the Podron, Don Pepin and the Cusano in a completely relaxed environment.
These are some of the finest high end cigars that the Thompson Cigar company will have on display with unbelievable deals the entire week.
Also on hand to help you navigate your way around the event and enhance your experience will be some of the brand owners and Thompson Cigar representatives to answer questions and show you how to get the most out of your cigar.
This will be the perfect opportunity to increase your cigar I.Q. and get answers to the questions such as which cigars best compliment Brandy and Cognac.
Listen, you don't just go out and buy a car without any research or pick up any old bottle champagne for New Years. The cigar that you smoke says a lot about you whether you know it or not. Maybe it's time that you find out.
It's going to be a slamming party with plenty of food and music to accompany the event.
I will be there and look forward to seeing you as well.

Yesterday was Free Comic Book Day. It literally does what it says in the title. Go to your local comic stores and pick up some free comics!
Which free comics, you ask? Specially produced ones which act as a filler or jumping-on point for readers to old books, whilst acting as an introduction to new and upcoming books.
At my local store I could only pick up three per person and to not take advantage I also bought a normal comic as well. Let's take a look at what I got, shall we?
The first one I want to talk about is The All New, All Different Avengers. If you didn't know (like our own Aaron Richardson) what Marvel's upcoming Secret Wars event is, it's basically a continuity-wide reboot which will see Mile Morales (the African-American Spider-man from a parallel universe) join the more successful mainstream universe. The story introduces a slightly old Avengers dynamic. The old guard superheroes like The Vision, Ironman (not sure who is wearing that armour yet, but it looks cool despite his head looking like a dinosaur), Captain America (the Falcon is currently Captain America) and Thor (no spoilers here) teaching the new guard, Spider-man (Miles Morales), Ms. Marvel and Nova the importance of life preservation in the Avengers team. So basically, it's a preview of what's to come after the summer! The second story follows the Inhumans (augmented humans) and Johnny Storm, who is apparently involved with the Queen of the Inhumans trying to stop people being turned into Inhumans in India. So basically this book was supposed to hook with a little bit of bait. Did it work? I might pay attention for mystery Ironman.
Another comic I picked up was Street Fighter. Udon do really good artwork, so it doesn't matter if there wasn't any story or narrative. This was just a quick introduction to some Street Fighter characters and it did it while looking really cool.
Mercury Heat was one of my other picks. Imagine a Cyber-Punk MMORPG set on Mercury and you'll probably understand Mercury Heat. The story follows a sheriff on her violent adventures on Mercury. This one should be good if not bloody. Perhaps the artwork is a little rough on the shading, but the lead character is quite good however, despite a silly sexual costume.
Miami Vice was the final pick. It's weird, this show was so big in the 80s, but I've never seen it repeated in the UK. I doubt it's anything like the trippy comic though. Miami Bath salts indeed!

The Story
As former globe-trotting financiers at Lazard, Samuel Bail and Abel Samet were forever lamenting the paucity of practical overnight bags that could merge business style with casual functionality. And so they left the city to solve that very problem, and we're very glad they did. Troubadour, which they founded in 2013, makes bags not just of beautifully minimalist design but also practicality - by working with a Tuscan tannery, they even created the world's first naturally waterproof leather. What's more, the more miles the bags clock up, the more memories become etched into the changing patina of the leather (at the very least it's another excuse to book a weekend away).

I found myself deeply humbled to share this freezing concrete step with some truly great leaders, compassionate souls, and kick-ass young people at an interfaith community gathering Friday night. It's a new piece, not yet titled or even typed. I confess it's not my best reading, it had none of my usual rehearsing or preparing. But in case you were wondering, this is the poet behind this humble little blog. I hope my little contribution to the event helps someone, somehow.
This started as a reaction to all those pictures of dead bodies that come through my news feed. Dead bodies don't really work well to galvanize action, they're too much like porn, an object for a fantasy. Live people with stories and dreams and subjectivity are much more effective.
And yes, I think that the political is always personal and the personal is always political and am incapable of expressing either alone. It's part my story and part a longing to hear the stories of living people rather than see pictures of dead people.

Best time to visit Madame Tussauds London
Madame Tussauds London is a highly rated attraction.
When it comes to visiting Madame Tussauds London, there is the 'best time of the day' and then there is the 'best time of the year'.
Best time of the year
Never try and visit Madame Tussauds Museum during the summer holidays or during school half-term periods.
In the summer, because of tourists from both outside and inside the UK, the lines can get really long.
After mid-September, the lines shrink and if you can land up for a visit mid-week, that will perhaps be the best time to visit Madame Tussauds London.
Best time of the day
If you want to avoid the crowd, never visit this wax Museum on weekends.
Pick a day mid-week and land up early in the morning or late afternoon – two hours before closing time.

Once you are inside the Museum with your ticket, you can hang around till it closes.
However, if you want to know how long it takes to explore the Museum, a good estimate is 2 hours. At least that's what the Madame Tussauds officials recommend.
Madame Tussauds London ticket price

Maybe because the distance between the two attractions is just 5.6 KMs (3.5 Miles) and the drive takes only 15 minutes depending on traffic.
However, there are no Madame Tussauds and London Eye combo tickets out there in the market.
The next best option is to buy the tickets individually for the same day.
To save time and money, we suggest you buy both the tickets online and much in advance.
London Eye ticket | Madame Tussauds London ticket

Meatballs ..
I'm doing a big "meatball" cook off. These are the beef and pork ones and the prawn balls are about to go into the oven (once I clean off a silicon tray!).
I usually cook in bulk as it means I have something in the freezer either to use for lunches or as a base for dinner. It's my equivalent of a take-away ...
Minced meat can be a great buy when it comes to hesitant eaters. Many learner eaters find meat challenging. This is often due to the texture. It's very chewy and goes dry and stringy very quickly in the mouth. Mince is far easier to eat and so is better received.
Mince is super versatile as it can be mixed with all sorts of flavours to create a new taste. You can also add nutrient boosts. My minced beef balls do not use bread crumbs but are bound with egg and ground linseeds. They are so moist and deliver an omega 3 boost to boot.
Have you tried mince for your kids?

Amati futura
$36,000 USD pair
Andrea Amati (1505 - 1577) is the founder of the famous "Scuola di Liuteria" (violin making) in Cremona, Italy during the 16th, 17th and 18 Century. Known as one of the most talented violinmakers in history, created Amati instruments of unsurpassed vitality and tonal sweetness. The careful selection of woods and finishes characterize the wonderful work of this great artist. Worldwide, there are only 16 instruments by Andrea Amati made, some of which even commissioned by Charles IX of France.
The Amati Futura was born from the experiences and developments in the course of the project "The Sonus Faber" - both aesthetically, and technologically. The Futura is part of the Amati Homage Series, which was created as a tribute to the great violinmakers of the Cremonese school. The proposal is therefore directly related to Sonus faber's classical tradition, but it should be both radically innovative and progressive.
The goal of the Amati Futura design team was to transfer the knowledge gained from the design and construction of our "super speaker" "The Sonus Faber" into a more compact and affordable format. The Amati Futura is the first fruit of that effort.
Electro-Acoustic Construction
The Amati Futura is a Lute-shaped 3.5 way floor standing speaker. Through the use of "Stealth" reflex construction featuring a fully optimized decoupling system between speaker and floor and by using the Sonus Faber's "LVT" system (low vibration transmission) a "TMD" (Tuned Mass Damper) mechanical and sound vibration virtually eliminated. Also borrowed from the "The Sonus Faber," is the para-aperiodic "Stealth Reflex" technology employed internally as a resonator providing additional reduction of stray residual resonance in the lower frequency ranges by converting the kinetic energy into heat.
Acoustic Enclosure
The enclosure is a fundamental component of Sonus faber's patented sound design. The progressively rounded, multi-layered sidewalls are constructed in a self-damped ("constrained layer damping") construction. This "acoustic environment" has been optimized for each driver through strategically located reinforcement ribs in each of the drive unit's individual acoustic chamber. The adaptation of these methodologies allows each driver used to come as close a possible to the theoretical performance ideal.
Innovative Features
A massive clamp consisting of two CNC machined nickel-Avional cones (Avional is a high strength aluminum alloy of 4.75% copper, 0.5% magnesium and 1.4% silicon) is used to halt cabinet vibration and resonance. The top and the bottom plates of the device act like an "exo-skeleton ensuring that any resonances within the enclosures walls are controlled and eradicated. The opposing end pieces are held together by a double wing-like metal brace at the rear of the enclosure. Together they function as a high-speed conductor for the rapid dissipation of resonance into the cone-shaped base casing.
A "Tuned Mass Damper", which is essentially a shock absorber for moving mass, absorbs specifically tuned frequencies converting any residual resonances into a thermo-kinetic state. Similar construction techniques to reduce resonance have been used in skyscrapers and Formula 1 cars. The speaker's exceptional performance is also somewhat due to the patented "LVT" system (low vibration transmission) that mechanically decouples the speaker from the floor. It uses an advanced elastomer-based suspension system reducing unwanted resonances transmitted into the listening room, whereby any acoustic feedback effects are effectively thwarted.
The "Stealth Reflex Port" is Sonus Faber's patented solution for the realization of a para-aperiodic enclosure ventilation system. The properties of this system allows for deep, extended bass with the same or less cabinet volume. In addition, it has all the advantages of conventional ports but eliminates the inherent "chuffing" sound completely.
The wood finishing techniques used on the Amati Futura were derived directly from "The Sonus Faber" indebted to the best violinmaker tradition. No less than seven layers of hand-polished lacquer is applied before coating with the eco-friendly sealer. Metal parts of the "exo-skeleton" are made of Avional owe their elegant appearance to a high-tech chemical treatment of the metals surface. The resulting finish is about 30 microns thick, very hard and extremely well proportioned and equipped with a remarkable resistance to corrosion. This surface is realized through a multistage process, first with a mirror polish and coating, followed by two more rounds, each using slightly different chemical treatments and polishing techniques.
The Drivers
Despite the use of extremely advanced technologies and measurement methods Sonus faber believes that at the end of the day the only ultimate tool for evaluating the sound is the human ear. During the development phase of each individual component, in addition to the analysis of its technical characteristics, all components are analyzed by ear. All drivers are manufactured exclusively for Sonus faber from prestigious Scandinavian manufacturers to the exacting standards and specifications of the Sonus faber design team.
The Tweeter
The sweet and extended high frequencies are generated by an "ultra-dynamic, high-linearity" 1.1 in. (29 mm) soft dome tweeter that, when fitted, is isolated from the enclosure using a visco-elastic baffle.
The Midrange
The midrange is the heart of the Amati Futura driver. The 7 in., (179 mm) cone selected for the naturalness of its sound. The use of a special, air-dried, non-pressed pulp is to gives it its inimitable vivacity. The powerful magnet system coupled with the 1.7 in. voice coil and a triple Kellog / Goeller copper rings make the unit virtually free of unwanted eddy currents. As the speaker covers the crucial mid-band, visco-elastic is again used to decouple it from the baffle.
The Woofer
The two 8.75 in., (220 mm) woofers are optimized to better define their respective frequency band. This is done though the use of AlMg cone membranes (aluminum / magnesium) in a layered and coated design. Furthermore, the damping of cone resonance is accomplished using a fine-pored foamed hysteresis-elastomer. The free eddy-free current 1.5 in. voice coil in cooperation with the long-throw magnet system provides excellent low frequency performance both in terms of dynamics and the linearity.
The Crossover
Special attention to the design of the crossover network of the Amati Futura in order to realize the musicality "of The Sonus Faber." The proper selection and design of transfer functions suitable for each driver determines the quality of the overall loudspeaker. The crossover of the Amati Futura uses a "progressive slope" architecture, typical for many Sonus faber speakers. It was chosen especially for its superior amplitude and phase response and for maintaining phase accuracy through the crossover transition frequencies of 80Hz, 220Hz and 3.2kHz. Additionally, only the finest component parts were considered including capacitors from Mundorf Supreme and Jantzen coils.
3.5-way, low spurious vibration optimized suspension, stealth reflex para-aperiodic loading, staggered low frequency floor standing loudspeaker system.

A 2-for-4 day from first baseman Dalton Devries helped lead American River College to a 4-2 win Tuesday at Sierra, as starting pitcher Matt Gunter (6-4, 3.55 ERA) struck out six in 8 ⅓ innings in his return to Sierra College.
Gunter had tried out for Sierra's team in the fall and did not make the squad, and said the win went beyond more than just a good performance.
"(Coming back) felt the best, definitely," Gunter said on the outing. "It always feels good to beat them."
ARC scored twice in the first inning on an RBI single by right fielder Alex Gaskin and a fielder's choice off the bat of Devries and scored in the third and seventh innings on singles by Devries.
Gunter breezed through the first eight innings, only facing a threat in the fifth.
Gunter walked the first two batters, but Sierra's chance at a momentum swing was quickly shot down after a sacrifice bunt attempt by left fielder Austin Blatnick.
ARC third baseman Austin Call charged the ball and made a rocket throw to first base to just beat Blatnick for the out. Blatnick collided with first baseman Dalton Devries incidentally, causing both players to fall to the ground.
Sierra second baseman Kyle Lewis, who had led off the inning with a walk, advanced to third on the bunt play and headed home following the collision.
Still on the ground, Devries tossed the ball up to ARC second baseman Cameron Bennett, who had shifted over to back up the play at first base and darted a throw to the plate to nail Lewis for the twin killing.
"That was the best play I've ever seen," said Gunter. "That's just being ready and staying with the play."
ARC head coach Doug Jumelet agreed.
"Pretty nice play," he said.
With two on and one out in the ninth, ARC pitching coach Preston Vancil made a visit to the mound to consult Gunter, but let him stay in the game.
"(I just asked him) how much he had left in the tank," said Vancil. "Really hoping he could show it to his old team."
Gunter was removed after he gave up an RBI double to replacement shortstop Froy Smith that left runners at second and third and brought the tying run to the plate.
"(He told me) it was a good outing , but your pitch count's getting up there," Gunter said of his conversation with Vancil when he was pulled.
Vancil was appreciative of Gunter's effort even though he didn't finish the game.
"I'm really proud of him. Those are the type of outings he should put out," Vancil said.
Gunter was understandably disappointed to not finish the game, but said he understood why.
"It was a still a close game the whole time, but they could've come back pretty easy," he said.
Relief pitcher Mike Marlar took Gunter's place and Sierra scored on a groundout but never put the tying run on base.
For Marlar, it was his state-leading eighth save of the season.
Vancil expressed full confidence in Marlar despite entering the game in a tough spot and Gunter agreed.
"Definitely, especially Mike," said Gunter of Marlar's ability. "He always shuts it down.

What is a Sativa?
Sativa strains of medicinal marijuana are usually uplifting and stimulating. If you've ever smoked or ingested cannabis that makes everything funny and puts you in a great mood, it was probably from a Sativa strain. It creates a feeling of comfort, non-drowsy, and usually introspective highs. The effects of smoking or ingesting a Sativa makes them particularly popular among artists and creatives. The most popular medicinal benefits range from treating mental and behavioral problems, to treating depression, stress and ADHD.
What is an Indica?
The major difference between Sativa's and Indica's is while a Sativa can make you feel alert, active, and aware, an Indica will have a relaxing feel on the body. The physical effects of an Indica strain commonly include a drowsy and mellow mood with stress and pain relief. Indica's are one of the more suggested strains when using it for medicinal purposes as it effectively treats sleeping disorders such as insomnia, fibromyalgia, body aches and pains. Indica's are also commonly used for treating Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Fibromyalgia and Lupus

The State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine (SAEE) has reported that total capacity of rooftop PV systems installed in the country under net metering has reached 121 MW, as of the end of September 2018.
At the end of June, total capacity stood at around 90 MW, while at the end of the previous quarter it was at 63 MW. This means that almost the half of total capacity was deployed in the latest two quarters alone, and that current quarterly growth trend is about 30 MW.
Overall, around 6,000 rooftop PV arrays were installed under the scheme at the end of the latest quarter, in which new additions totaled 1,371. This compares to 3,553 projects at the end of March and around just 200 new projects in the first quarter of 2017.
Total investments in this market segment, said SAEE, have reached a total of €120 million.
Ukraine's net metering mechanism, which is open to PV installations with a capacity of up to 30 kW, was introduced under the law №514-VIII, which came into effect in April 2015.
Ukraine has reached an operational installed PV power capacity of 948 MW, as of the end of June 2018, according to the Head of the State Department of Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving, Sergij Savchuk.

ASER gave me the courage to travel miles and miles to unknown places to collect accurate data. Given this opportunity to travel, you not only gather data but learn to engage with the young and old from diverse communities all the while creating evidence and building awareness at the grassroots level.
Leading trainers and volunteers, planning, executing and coordinating this large scale survey have made me a confident leader. Over the course of the survey, I also met hundreds of villagers and discuss the status of education in India.
ASER teaches you how to handle tough situations that may come your way; be it a doubtful village headman or a school head master who may need convincing. But somehow even after working all day long, under all kinds of weather conditions, you don't feel exhausted but rather satisfied for being able to reach thousands children in India.
Everyone involved in the Annual Status of Education Report survey are left with questions on how to improve the quality of primary education in the country. I am very thankful to ASER for the opportunities that took me beyond my understanding about primary education prior to joining this mission. I am proud to be a part of the largest citizen-led annual household survey.

Life is better with direction. Sure, we can move toward our best life on our own, but more often than not, we end up getting sidetracked and missing the mark. Left to our own devices, we overlook the core of who we are. We may take steps in the right direction but end up unfulfilled. When we have accountability and someone to help us look at things a new way, we create the life that is best for us.
Let's work together to get your life going in the right direction. What does coaching with me look like? We spend time discovering your core beliefs. We set goals and action steps toward those goals. We weave in the integrative practices that interest you: yoga, essential oils, meditation, journaling, and more.
I offer a variety of packages to meet your needs including weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and custom. Let's have a conversation and see if coaching with me is a good fit and we can find the program that works best for you.

The Daily Table, a nonprofit grocery store founded by former Trader Joe's President Doug Rauch, plans to open Thursday after a brief setback from licensing issues with the city.
Beginning Thursday, the store will be open 7 days a week from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at its location in Codman Square
"Daily Table was founded on the premise that the solution to hunger and obesity is not a full stomach but delicious, wholesome and affordable food," said Sheila M. Green, spokesperson for the restaurant, in an email to the Reporter. "America wastes 40 percent of the food that we produce, while one in six Americans is food insecure, which means they do not have reliable access to nutritious and affordable food. Daily Table receives excess food from growers, supermarkets, manufacturers and food distributors. And, all new hires are from the neighborhood."

Abreva is the first (and currently only) non-prescription drug available that is used in the treatment of cold sores. While the drug cannot prevent future outbreaks, it can shorten the healing time and duration of symptoms. Abreva is applied directly to the cold sore and works best if taken at the first sign of an outbreak. Possible side effects include headaches or a stuffy, runny nose.
What Is Abreva?Abreva® (docosanol) is a non-prescription cold sore medication. It is the only non-prescription cold sore treatment approved to shorten the healing time and the duration of cold sore symptoms.
(Click Abreva Uses for more information, including possible off-label uses.)
How Does Abreva Work?Cold sores are caused by viruses -- specifically, the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Abreva is not an antiviral medication in the traditional sense, since it does not attack the virus. Instead, the medication works by changing the cell membranes of healthy, uninfected cells. These changes help prevent the cold sore virus from getting into healthy cells, thereby helping to limit the cold sore infection.
It is important to understand that once a person has been infected with the cold sore virus, the virus never goes away. It remains inactive in certain nerve cells of the body, waiting to become active again. Treatment with Abreva does not prevent future cold sore outbreaks.

State Senator Laura Murphy (D - Des Plaines) visited the Elk Grove Village Board on Tuesday to commend them for the efforts in passing crucial public health legislation, both locally and statewide.
Senator Murphy was a proud sponsor of the legislation in Springfield known as "Tobacco 21," which prohibits the sale of tobacco products to people under the age of 21. Elk Grove Village had passed a similar law in 2017.
"If it weren't for the efforts of the Elk Grove Village Board passing an ordinance last year to prohibit the sale of tobacco products to people under the age of 21, the statewide legislation may never have had the legs to make it through both chambers and onto the Governor's desk," Murphy said. "Anyone who cares about public health in their community should be grateful for local governments like Elk Grove Village proving that a measure like this is viable statewide."
Murphy also praised the Elk Grove Village Board for implementing a program known as Elk Grove Village Cares, a program meant to curb the opioid epidemic running rampant in Illinois by providing information and help to people who are in need of it.
"The Elk Grove Village Cares program's unique approach to helping people addicted to drugs by providing compassion for, treatment of and information about their addictions is an extremely simple, cost effective way to confront the opioid crisis that is plaguing our nation, our state, and our communities head on," Murphy said.
Murphy spoke at a Village board meeting in front of Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig Johnson, Elk Grove Village Trustees and local citizens.

Work on site is progressing well at Boultbee Brooks Real Estate's (BBRE) £13.9 million redevelopment of the former Kings House in Reading, with GRAHAM Construction appointed as principal contractor.
This significant redevelopment project will deliver 93,000 sq ft net internal area (NIA) of prime Grade A office space to the market. A key feature is the removal of the T-shaped building's central core to create larger, completely open floorplates of 13,300 sq ft NIA and a total of 23,000 sq ft NIA of extra space overall. New stair cores, lifts and facilities will be added to the rear of the building, plant will be moved onto the roof and new cladding will contribute to improved energy efficiency.
Rob Joyce, GRAHAM Construction's London office director said:
"The Thames Valley office market is thriving, with Reading in particular seeing low vacancy rates and increasing occupier demand for Grade A space.
"For BBRE, the project's success centres on creating the large, open floorplates that occupiers require of new space. We were able to provide a temporary works solution that will maintain the building's structural integrity while the 13m long, six tonne precast concrete planks that will form the new floorplates are lowered in through the narrow space where the core used to sit.
"This is the largest challenge we face and is critical to the project's technical and commercial success. Through our skilled team we have the expertise and experience to deliver such a complex project."
The seven-storey, 1970s office building is located on 33 Kings Road in Reading, near the Oracle shopping centre and train station, and benefits from 105 parking spaces with a 1:857 sq ft parking ratio on the new NIA to be created.
Completion is planned for autumn 2016.

For international critics, South African William Kentridge is 'a sure bet'. For the KunstenFESTIVALdesArts he is the most loyal of artists. With each of his visits - and this is his fifth - he uses the simplicity of a line or the generosity of a movement to reveal his poetical and critical side with regard to the world and people. After Zeno at 4 am, based on Svevo's Confessions of Zeno, here is Confessions. This unconventional opera mixes film projected as it is being made with song, live music by Kevin Volans with the actor's performance, and puppet manipulators with the tones of a string quartet. If Zeno was imprisoned in his relationship with his father, he has just left his bedroom of sleeplessness and is wandering through the streets of Trieste. Kentridge and the Handspring Puppet Company will be with him every step of the way.

KunstenFESTIVALdesArtsBack to top
William Kentridge, a South African, was born into a world torn apart by racial segregation. With an anti-apartheid lawyer for a father, it more or less followed that the son would be attracted to political science, yet when he finished his studies in 1976 he went in an altogether different direction - art. Uninterested in specialising in just one particular form of art, Kentridge became a man who would combine several. From visual art to the art of words, from engraving to painting, from theatre to opera, this poet of the stage, painter, visual artist, maker of animated films, director, engraver, theatre designer... has become known and recognised for transgressing, and combining, genres.
For international critics, William Kentridge is a sure bet, but for the KunstenFESTIVALdesArts he is the most loyal of artists. Each of his visits has provided yet another angle of simplicity, poetic strength and generosity. A few charcoal strokes, a quick rub of the eraser and, with signs of the 'mistake' evident, the drawing allows in humour and humanity. Never full of pathos or heavily political, he is capable of describing Man's pettiness with distance and aptness, but never with arrogance. Since 1994 - the year of the first Festival and the triumph of Nelson Mandela, the first black president in South Africa's history - this is the fifth time that the KunstenFESTIVALdesArts has invited William Kentridge. On each visit he has been joined by the Handspring Puppet Company (Basil Jones and Adrian Kohler) - based in Cape Town and specialising in making and manipulating puppets carved from wood - and this year it is the same, except that there are no wooden puppets.
Many of his creations have a direct or indirect link with his country's painful past - think of Ubu and the Truth Commission (1997) which made direct reference to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up by Mandela to hear victims and torturers of the old regime - but the artist insists: "I am not a spokesman for South Africa."
My dear Zeno, I am the most intelligent man in Trieste. You are the fifth most intelligent. Positions two, three and four are vacant.
Italo Svevo, Confessions of Zeno, Everyman's Library, London 2001
"I must have been around 18 or 20 years old when I read Italo Svevo's Confessions of Zeno for the first time." Italo Svevo (1861-1928) was not his real name - this writer of three oeuvres was born Ettore Schmitz and lived in Trieste. After writing Una vita (1893), Senilità (1897) and La Coscienza di Zeno (1923), Ettore Schmitz, alias Italo Svevo, died following a car accident. "What struck me at the time was the similarity between the depressing atmosphere in Trieste and that of my own city of Johannesburg in South Africa."
Before becoming Italian in 1918, Trieste was the only outlet to the sea in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and a border area and crossing point where political nationalism and intellectual cosmopolitanism coexisted. This little central European city found itself at the crossroads of three worlds - Italian, Slav and Germanic.
In winter the Siberian bora blew, Slovene could be heard spoken fluently and in the buffets, where people stood eating steaming sauerkraut, there were trattorie and Viennese cafés next door to one another.
Antoine de Gaudemar, in Libération, october 2001
"Just as Johannesburg is cut off from its main centres, Trieste is not at the centre of an empire either. As I read and re-read the book over the years, I could relate to other elements in it too."
Confessions of Zeno is the account of a life of failure, written in the first person by Zeno Cosini, the novel's central character. Through this self-analysis, and despite extreme lucidity, an image is revealed of a man incapable of living and adhering to reality: at his dying father's bedside, Zeno forgets to call the doctor; when he wants to marry, out of three sisters he marries the one he does not love; and at his best friend's funeral, he follows the wrong funeral cortège.
"Zeno, the hero of Svevo's novel, has remarkable self-knowledge. But it is knowledge that is without effect. This absolute inability of self-knowledge to force Zeno to act, or at other times to stop him from acting, feels familiar. The novel is constructed in three movements: Zeno and his father, Zeno and his wife, Zeno and his mistress. But the character's essence is characterised in his ambiguous relationship with his father." This is how in January 2001 Kentridge explained the process that led him to the first part entitled Zeno at 4 a.m.
Such as it is, the production is still fragmented (...), a separate accumulation of its component parts, as if the writer were giving away his secrets to us of how it was made. (...) The result fascinates and remains what it is - an analysis of a work in progress.
Serge Martin, in Le Soir, may 2001
This is a fair summary of the reasoning behind Zeno at 4 a.m.
In Confessions, the theatre of shadows encounters music on stage. This time the Handspring Puppet Company's manipulators are not holding carved wooden dolls, but rod puppets made from found objects. Projected directly onto a big screen, the wooden, aluminium and corrugated plastic board structures form silhouettes, barren expanses, shining puddles, moving trees, 'derrick women'... an entire universe openly manipulated by white and black actors. Kevin Volans, South African by birth but Irish by adoption, has composed music - for bass, two sopranos and string quartet - that evolves like the subconscious, with repetitions, collages, scraps and disparate elements.
After the third and fourth chapters of the novel - Last Cigarette and Death of my Father - here are chapters V and VI - The Story of my Marriage and Wife and Mistress. Zeno strays out of the bedroom of his first act insomnia, and through the streets of Trieste. William Kentridge, Kevin Volans and the Handspring Puppet Company will be with him every step of the way.
"Last year we wanted to compose an oratorio for a chorus of shadows with silhouette body extensions, somewhere between masks and puppets. This element became marginal, but what came to the fore was a kind of live cinema." When the string quartet accompanies the action and projection, in a way it is following the tradition that comes from silent movies. What becomes central in Confessions is the construction of a live image - at the centre of the stage is a screen, and at the side, at an oblique angle, is the movement of the shadows and silhouettes which make the cinematic image. The images appear solid and weighty, whilst their source, created from torn paper, is light and ephemeral. Forms, movements, rough cut-outs, a roll of drawings on acetate scrolled down in front of a camera which projects the image on the screen at the same time. They are manipulated improvisations, inspired and suggested by Svevo's work, and by its characters, "waiting for the eruption to happen..."
However, there is little point in waiting for an adaptation of Svevo's book for the stage. "To start with, as I delved into the work, the ambiguities and the complexities of relationships were being teased out. In the end, we had taken the work of another person - Italo Svevo's Confessions of Zeno - and created a piece of our own making. Svevo's work is no more than a goad, a beacon and shared vision, allowing the piece to combine theatre with projection, animation with performance."Back to top

Brian Yates has been well established for over 30 years and, in that time, the company has created an enviable reputation for design expertise and a thorough knowledge of the interior design world.
The company was started by Brian Yates and Sheila Coombes when they recognised a niche market for unusual wallcoverings not yet available in the UK. A small selection was shown to some interior design companies open to new ideas. So began an exciting adventure to seek out specialist companies and unique products to introduce to the UK market. Before long Brian Yates had a small and loyal following eagerly anticipating the latest designs. Now there is a wide-ranging client list of interior designers, retailers, hotels and specifiers working on a vast range of interior projects at any time.
Brian Yates repertoire includes stylish and exclusive fabrics from Sheila Coombes. These include stunning prints, wide width taffetas and semi sheers. Beautiful silk and linen blends with washed artisan finishes are developed in Sheila's distinctive colour palette which offer subtlety and richness. Brian Yates offers something for every taste and every interior, cutting edge contemporary through to classical.
New collections include the Cadenza, influenced by the rich classic Ottoman style which would have been woven in Italy for the royal courts and palaces of the Ottoman Empire in the late 16th, early 17th century.The elegant pomegranate flowers form the major motif on this design with stylised leaves growing on intertwining stems. A background of beautiful silk and linen threads are woven with the surprising addition of a wool Boucle yarn. This is instead of the rich gilt and metal threads which would have been used in the past and imparts a contemporary and up to the minute look which is both innovative and beautiful.Soft tones of grey, washed jade and an eye catching pink replace the heavy reds of the past and add freshness and life which suit today's interiors.
