text: Urinary Tract Infection in the Intensive Care Unit: A Common Occurrence, but With Minimal ClarityJoshi, Manjari MDInfectious Diseases in Clinical Practice: November 2007 - Volume 15 - Issue 6 - p 355-356 doi: 10.1097/ipc.0b013e31815c5e82 Editorial Comment Author Information Article Outline University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD. Address correspondence and reprint requests to Manjari Joshi, MD, University of Maryland, 22S Greene Street, Baltimore, MD 21201. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. REFERENCES In this issue of the journal, Al Raiy et al1 review a very common problem in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Al Raiy et al1 retrospectively reviewed 90 ICU patients with positive urine cultures (≥105 colony-forming units/mL). Their results demonstrated that clinicians often treat urinary tract infection (UTI) in the ICU based on urine culture result only in the absence of symptoms and in the presence of infections in other sites. They record that therapy with antibiotics was associated with higher incidence of diarrhea. With increased antimicrobial use, they raise the potential issues of higher cost and increased antimicrobial resistance. Al Raiy et al1 correctly conclude that "UTI treatment guidelines for ICU patients are urgently needed." Incidence of bacteriuria in patients with indwelling catheters is 3% to 10% every day. Of these, 10% to 25% develop UTI.2 Richards et al3 conducted the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System in ICU patients, reporting that UTI was the most common infection in critically ill patients. Another study demonstrated that the catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI) is associated with excess deaths, increased length of stay, and higher costs.4 Despite the importance of CAUTI, very few studies have focused on them.5 To this date, the criteria for diagnosis of CAUTI have not been established. Because of lack of guidelines for diagnosis, the incidence of CAUTI is not well defined. Furthermore, several treatment issues and few preventive criteria also need to be established. In fact, there seems to be more questions than answers associated with this infection (Table 1). TABLE 1 Therefore, how should a clinician approach an ICU patient with possible UTI? Clearly, with an open mind and with a degree of skepticism! Because of lack of clear diagnostic criteria, while diagnosing a CAUTI, it is imperative to simultaneously evaluate for other sites of infections. By carefully reviewing clinical data, urinalysis (pyuria, leukocyte estrase, nitrate), urine cultures, and underlying risk factors, the decision should be made to treat or not to treat. In a patient who is not critically ill, the decision to treat needs to be based on a number of factors and not merely on urine cultures alone. A scoring system similar to what has been proposed for hospital-acquired pneumonia can be useful in this setting. If the decision to treat is made, short and focused antimicrobial therapy should be used. If the decision is made not to treat, careful follow-up of patient's clinical picture, repeat urine studies, and catheter removal as soon as possible can prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics. Unfortunately, in this day and age, due to lack of diagnostic clarity, a critically ill patient with no other obvious site of infection will be treated for a UTI based on positive urine analysis or urine cultures alone. Antibiotic stewardship in this day and age is an important responsibility we all carry. Clinicians can use antibiotics judiciously and go into the next decade with a lower burden of resistant organisms, or we can use the miracle drugs inappropriately and jeopardize our future. The responsibility is not just ours, but also of the decision makers who need to provide better guidelines for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this disorder. It is unfortunate that a common infection with such a tremendous degree of impact has such minimal clarity.Back to Top | Article Outline REFERENCES1. Al Raiy B, Jahamy H, Fakih MG, et al.

So who says a business consultant can't appreciate a joke ? I unashamedly 'stole' this one from the Facebook wall of one of my Facebook friends – Lyn Whitsitt – who has posted some hilarious 'blonde' jokes…..
A gorgeous young redhead went to the doctor's office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it. 'Impossible!' says the doctor. 'Show me.' The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed her knee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream.
The doctor said, 'You're not really a redhead, are you?
'Well, no' she said, 'I'm actually a blonde.'
'I thought so,' the doctor said 'Your finger is broken.'

Uber is always droning on about how drivers are able to make money by driving their own vehicle, while having the freedom to choose their own schedules. A few years ago, Uber told The Wall Street Journal that a typical driver earns more than $100,000 a year in gross fares. However, new data and calculations based off a million trips reveals a different picture. In three major US markets – Denver, CO, Detroit, MI, and Houston, TX – Uber drivers earned less than $13.25 an hour.
The realization was made after an internal price modeling data was leaked online, to which Uber released its own calculations that were provided to BuzzFeed News in response to the leak. The data is based on more than a million rides and covers thousands of drivers in the aforementioned cities. While Uber claims that it can't pinpoint how much its drivers actually make per hour, BuzzFeed News conducted its own independent analysis. BuzzFeed News examined spreadsheets that were provided to the outlet by a source that worked with Uber pricing data to give a more accurate depiction of how much drivers really make.
Based on the calculations, Uber drivers made $13.17 per hour after expenses in Denver, CO, $8.77 per hour after expenses in Detroit, MI, and $10.75 per hour after expenses in Houston, TX late last year. These figures are less than anything Uber has previously released before.
Uber drivers, obviously, don't all make the same amount of money, due to differences in driver experience, location, dates of driving, and more. BuzzFeed News' data is based off a few assumptions: contractors drive a $16,000 car with a 250,000-mile lifetime, which results in a depreciation cost of 6.4 cents per mile, gas costs $1.75 per gallon with the vehicle getting 25 miles per gallon, which equals 7 cents per mile for gas, and lastly maintenance, insurance, and miscellaneous costs come out to $3,000 per year.

Odie taught so many people how to ride and be successful in the saddle – I can't even tell you the number of people he helped over his years of service. He was a kind soul and a gentle giant but my best memory of him and this occurred after almost every single ride was when the student had dismounted Odie would bend his neck all the way around the side to get a look at who had just gotten off. It was almost as if he was saying – Hey good job up there today to each and every rider. He was truly a once in a life time type of horse that I will never forget!"
"The students, staff, volunteers and horses at HETRA are all truly amazing and I am so fortunate to be able to be able to combine my two great passions in life helping others and horses into a career that makes a difference in so many people's lives. I can't imagine doing anything else. I have been so blessed to be on this journey with all of the amazing people and horses that make up HETRA! The first 25 years have been such an adventure – I can't wait to see what the next 25 years bring….."

"If you're standing on the ground, observing a HETRA session in progress, watching the therapist and volunteers working with the participant and horse, it can look . . . easy. That's because they do what they do very well. But it's not that easy. My favorite HETRA memory is when I first started in my position in 2014 and was invited to participate in a mock session to train one of the horses. Standing on the mounting block, watching my horse approach with precision and patience while I nervously and awkwardly managed to get myself on the horse . . . WOW. I had a new and profound respect for our participants. This was big! There is so much going on in a 30 minute session, things to pay attention to, like posture, balance, staying centered, not to mention giving proper cues to your horse to get him to move through the different activities in the arena; it was an awakening. I could experience what it feels like for our participants on the horse. I could feel the muscle groups targeted for the different exercises our participants work through. I was there to help train a horse, but it was I who got trained, and I'll never forget that."
"Every day, I get the pleasure of raising awareness about our HETRA Staff, therapists, volunteers, and participants, and raising the necessary funds to support our mission. Whether speaking to businesses, men's and women's groups, corporations, or a family or volunteer interested in starting at HETRA . . .you can see people "light up" when the learn there is a place like HETRA serving individuals and families with disabilities in such a unique form of therapy. It's incredibly rewarding to share the experience of HETRA with the community. . . there is really nothing quite like it."

Shelby started volunteering with HETRA in 2010 and became a PATH, Intl. Certified instructor in 2015. She has a Bachelor Degree in Animal Science – Equine Science from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. Shelby is the PATH, Intl. Nebraska State Chair and the PATH, Intl. Region 7 Treasurer.

In her free time Shelby enjoys working with her own horses, Dexter, Stoney and Luna and playing with her dog Bruce.
"As the Horse Manager- I can't possibly pick a favorite HETRA Horse! They are all so different and bring so much talent and uniqueness to our herd. I will say that Red and Lady seem to develop the strongest bonds with their riders. Red is such a social horse and is always the first to greet you when you enter the barn. Lady has such a kind eye and an old soul. She defines "gentle giant!" My favorite pastime is to watch all the horses play together out in the paddocks!"
"It is so rewarding to watch our participants bond with the horses and to see the horses help them reach their goals! Plus- I love everything to do with horses! When I am not working with the HETRA Herd, I am with my own horses. How lucky am I that I get paid to do what I love!?"
Rita Borgstadt – Participant Intake Coordinator

She also has an Associate in Ministry – ECLA Lutheran Church. In her free time Rita enjoys working spending time with her grandchildren, working on her stained glass projects, reading, gardening and watching UNL Volleyball!
"My favorite memory at HETRA is watching a young man who on the day of his evaluation would only hide behind him mother when he was brought into the arena. A week later he was able to mount Lady, one of our largest horses and ride with a huge smile on his face.
Watching a young visually impaired rider independently ride her horse for the first time through a set of patterns. Seeing her pride and excitement as she accomplished this."
"HETRA allows me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our riders. I love working with our riders, watching them achieve different things each week and then watching their smiles and giggles as they realize what they have just accomplished. I also love to watch the interactions between the riders and our horses. How gently our horses can be and how excited our riders are to see their horse each week. I also love the opportunity to work with their families and of course the great volunteers who have such a passion for our riders and the horses."
Chris O'Callaghan – Facility & Specialty Program Coordinator
Chris joined the HETRA team in 2016. He has a Degree from University Nebraska – Lincoln.

"One of my favorite experiences at HETRA occurs weekly. My son gets excited as we get near the barn. He is very excited to see the staff and volunteers. And once he is on horseback I see that he is focused on correct posture and completing the tasks requested. As a parent of a long time HETRA participant I have always been in awe of the therapists, instructors and volunteers. I love that there is always the challenge to achieve the best therapy possible for the HETRA clients. Being a part of this team and helping to ensure this service continues for our clients makes coming to the barn a joy."

"Contributing to the development and achievement of the participants at HETRA not only allows to me help them but also their parents who have challenges far greater than mine. My work at HETRA puts my life in perspective on a daily basis.
"My favorite HETRA memory will always be the first time my assigned participant took my hand and held on while waiting to begin their session. I learned then that unspoken words can create a dialogue far deeper than conventional communication and it has become one of the best parts of my week."
"Our daughter is passionate about jumping and has been training and competing for several years. We look for a wide range of riding opportunities – especially when we travel. We have been able to experience many different horses and many styles of riding in Florida, Kentucky, and Kansas, and hope to continue to grow those experiences and knowledge."

The reason between Java and Python threads is
I think the most straight way for you, that will give you also a nice performance increase is to use Cython.
Cython is a Python superset that compiles Python-like code to C code (which makes use of the cPython API), and from there to executable. It allows one to optionally type variables, that then can use native C types instead of Python objects - and also allows one direct control of the GIL.
It does support a
with nogil: statement in which the
with block runs with the GIL turned off - if there are other threads running (you use the normal Python threading library), they won't be blocked while code is running on the marked with block.
Just keep in mind that the GIL is there for a reason: it is thanks to it that global complex objects like lists and dictionaries work without the danger of getting into an inconsistent state between treads. But if your "nogil" blocks restrict themselves to local data structures, you should have no problems.
Check the Cython project - and here is an specific example of turning off the GIL: https://lbolla.info/blog/2013/12/23/python-threads-cython-gil

Thanet and Blogger - Again(!)
Apologies to those Thanet bloggers that did not get a visit from me and a comment in my Tuesday Evening Roundup of blogs. The problem was down to your chosen host (blogger.com) having a technical fault with the commenting system. Blogs not on this platform might have seen me but as most Thanet Bloggers are on Blogger (still)...
There is something to be said for variety within a population. Not only does it insulate against global devastation (ask any farmer) it also leads to better innovation and less copy-cat sites. We've not seen too much of the later yet but as this niche grows I am sure we will.
If you need help establishing yourself on a hosted solution with your own domain name you can always contact me. Just click my name on any article that I have written. Easy.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/292,666, filed Dec. 30, 1988, now abandoned, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 06/858,139 filed Apr. 30, 1986, now abandoned.
In many types of programmed apparatus, interaction with a user is obtained by displays on a cathode ray a native language of menus, actions to be taken, and messages for helping the user when he requests aid. All of this information, along with instructions as to the format of the display, are stored in a native language file that is scanned by a screen generator that controls the cathode ray tube.
For the apparatus to be used by someone who is not familiar with the native language, a translation of the displayed words into suitable foreign equivalents is required. This has been obtained by recording the various displays and format descriptions on paper and sending it to a translator after the words to be translated have been designated in some way, as for example with a magic marker. After the designated words have been translated into foreign equivalents and recorded on the paper, it is used to create a foreign language file that is sent with apparatus sold to people familiar with that language. Whereas this may seem to be a simple and straightforward procedure, experience has shown that much confusion and delay results from the use of paper recording in this manner, e.g., the translator may provide words that are not apt because he is not familiar with the application or he may fail to observe the format instructions and use a foreign word that is too long.
In accordance with this invention, the words in a native language file that are to be translated, comment language related to these words, and format instructions are individually identified by the grammatical construction employed. The file is then read by a special translation tool that displays the words to be translated on the screen of a cathode ray tube in a format of its own. This is done in such manner that the allotted space for a word or phrase is readily discernable, e.g., by video inversion, and a similarly designated space for a foreign word is identified at some adjacent location. Also included in the displays are any comments required for the purpose of helping the translator select appropriate foreign words. The translation tool is also provided with a means for inserting a foreign word into the space designated for it. Thus, if the selected foreign word is too long, the translation tool will not allow the user to enter the extra letters. If desired, a report generator may be provided for printing only the native language and foreign language words so that they can be verified. The translated words are then placed in a foreign language text file and means are provided for forming a foreign language file in which the translated words are substituted for the native words so that it can be used with apparatus for sale to a foreign country using that foreign language.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an overall translation system of the invention;
FIG. 1A illustrates a display of the translation tool before a foreign word has been selected;
FIG. 1B illustrates a display of the translation tool when the selected foreign word has the proper length;
FIG. 1C is a block diagram including elements of and illustrating the use of the screen generator of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 1D is a block diagram of the translation tool of FIG. 1.
In the block diagram of FIG. 1 native language, file Fn contains format instructions, native words to be translated and comment information for the purpose of aiding the translator in making a more apt selection of foreign words to be substituted for the native words. As noted in the example set forth immediately below, the format instructions are in clear language, the native words to be translated are in quotes and the comment information is preceded by a dollar sign ($). Thus, each type of information can be separately identified from its grammatical construction.

If the file is to be used for forming displays in the native language in a computer, the information in the native language file Fn is directly used by a screen generator SG to form the desired displays on the cathode ray tube, not shown, contained in the computer C.
But if the file Fn is to be used with apparatus employing a foreign language, suitable foreign words must be substituted in the file Fn, yielding a foreign language file Ff. A translation tool T scans the native language file Fn and resents the native words in quotes at certain places on the screen of its cathode ray tube, not shown, as well as the comment messages indicated by the dollar sign ($). From the instructions for the format to be used in the display in the computer, the translation tool derives information as to the size and shape of the space allotted to the native words to be translated and presents them on a screen in such manner that this space can be readily identified. A blank space of identical dimensions but having no letters in it is also presented at a convenient location on the screen. Various means for providing the identification of the space may be used, e.g., outlining or inverse video. FIG. 1A illustrates the use of the latter technique in presenting the word "assign" from the native language file Fn set forth above. When the native language to be translated is one or two words as in the case of "assign", it is expedient for the blank space for the foreign word to be placed at one side, as in FIG. 1A; but if the native words form a line or several lines as may be the case in help prompts, the blank space may be below the space occupied by the native text.
In addition to the native words in quotes that are to be translated, the translation tool presents the comment language grammatically denoted by a dollar sign ($).
Means are provided for the translator to insert suitable foreign language words in the indicated blank spaces. If the word selected is too long, any characters beyond the maximum word length cannot be entered in the blank space so that the translator will know that another foreign word or words must be found. FIG. 1B shows that, although the English word "assign" has six letters, the identified space is for seven letters so that the German word "zuweisn" fits in the allotted space.
The translated words may be verified by printing them on paper for review purposes. In any event, they are stored in a foreign language text file Ft, and an overlay means O is provided for merging the information in the files Fn and Ft so as to provide a foreign language file Ff that is the same as Fn except that a foreign word such as "zuweisn" is substituted for the native quoted word such as "assign". The foreign language file Ff set forth below can be used with the same equipment to form displays in the foreign language. The translation needs to be done only once, because once a foreign language file Ff has been created, it can be copied.
In some situations, the design of the various means in an equipment for forming displays is available before the design of the rest of the equipment so that testing of the display process can be performed by providing a verification tool V that forms displays in the same way as the completed equipment will do and controlling it with the screen generator SG when the latter is coupled to the foreign language file Ff as indicated by the dashed lines in FIG. 1.
Although screen generators are well known to those skilled in the art, reference is now made to FIG. 1C for a more detailed description of same. In this particular case, the generator is operated by a Hewlett-Packard 9000-S500 computer in accordance with a program set forth at the end of the specification.
The native language file Fn is coupled to a screen generator SG that acts as a compiler for deriving the assembly language required to drive a cathode ray tube. The screen generator SG is comprised of a scanner 2 that pulls out each word in the file Fn in sequence and stores a numerical representation thereof in a token file 4 that checks to see if each word is in its vocabulary, a parser 6 that checks the grammar, element descriptor tables 8 that provide abbreviations for certain phrases, and a code generator 10 that provides the required assembly language. The output of the code generator 10 is read into a screen data constants file 12. An assembler 14 translates the constants into language stored in a file 16 that can be used to control the computer C.
If desired, the translation can be checked by applying it from the assembler 14 to a verification tool V which operates in the same manner as the video portion of the equipment.
Reference is now made to FIG. 1D for a description of a translation tool of this invention. It is controlled by a Hewlett-Packard 150 Personal Computer in accordance with a program set forth at the end of the specification.
An indexer 22 scans the file Fn and calculates from the format information therein the locations of all text to be translated, stores indeces of the text and its allotted length, and reserves space in an indexed language text file Fi.
A formatter 24 reads the indexed language text file Fi and reformats the text to be displayed on a screen of a cathode ray tube 26 showing the native language to be translated as well as the comment information indicated by dollar signs ($). The actual operation of the cathode ray tube 26 is via an input/output driver 28. When the translator types the foreign word to be substituted for the native word on a keyboard 30 of the computer, the foreign word appears in the blank space reserved for it as indicated in FIG. 1B. If requested by the user, the translated text is stored in a foreign language text file Ft by an updating means 33.
After part or all of the translation is completed in this manner, a report can be printed by a report generator 34 so that the native and foreign language words can be compared, but this is not essential.
When the translation is complete and all foreign words have been loaded into the foreign language text file Ft, the foreign language file Ff is generated by storing the foreign language words in the places reserved for them. An overlay means 0 that is coupled to the foreign language text file Ft and to the native language file Fn merges the native language text in Fn and the translated language of the intermediate file 32 so as to produce the foreign language file Ff that can be used with a computer to be used by those familiar with the particular foreign language. The file Ff is simply substituted for the file Fn. When this is done, the portion of the file Fn previously set forth will appear as set forth below when the foreign language is German. If, after verification of the foreign language, it is found that corrections are necessary, the foreign language file Ff may be used as input to the translation tool T to permit corrections to be made. ##SPC1##

I haven't seen a huge amount of fakes, like you do in other places, but still of all the lvs I have seen only ONE was authentic. Some of the women carrying their fake had a lot of attitude, but don't they know that the ones that own the real thing or are familiar know that their bags are fake??? so why do they do it??

your Fabulous Free Food journal!
Yep, I'm talking to you.
I'm Moniqua Plante, don't let the spelling scare you, it's pronounced like Monica not Shaniqua. I'll help you rock your body from the inside out. And look really good in your pants too.
A few things you should know about me:
I believe in getting real with food. Amazing health starts at home, in your kitchen. I believe in listening to your body, so you know what it really needs. I believe in living actively and taking real care of yourself. And I believe you deserve to live your healthiest, happiest, most kick ass life.
I'm a certified holistic health coach and I've had years of experience figuring out my own relationship with food and learning to let go of the negative self-talk. I've been a working actor and a fashion fit model for the last ten+ years, so I really do understand the pressure we feel to look a certain way or be a certain size. I know what it's like to not feel sexy in my pants, or even good in my own skin. I've craved food, fought with it, tried every diet, calorie counted, cleansed & detoxed. My metabolism was slow, my digestion was slower.
Then came the ass kicking.
I got really sick. I had a type of food poisoning that went on for months. No joke. My doctors put me on three rounds of antibiotics and I just got sicker. It wasn't until I started working with a holistic health practitioner that I was finally able to heal my body. And I did it with whole, real food.
I finally understood that food is not enemy. REAL FOOD is where it's at! I learned to love food and how it makes me feel. My body found it's happy weight, I had more energy, I was sleeping better and my skin was clear and bright. And I didn't have to work for it. I still don't. By loving my body on the inside, my body loves me back on the outside.
And I'm dedicated to help you do the same. Since then, I've graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and have helped so many women, and a few good men, get their groove on through real food and self care.
You see I'm a real food/real life expert, and I'm really good at getting you excited and keeping you motivated to take action, make sustainable adjustments and reach your health goals without stress, guilt or deprivation. I want you to have fun while doing it. With happy hour and chocolate.
I have been there and I'm excited to help you get from there to here. You will get real about food, your relationship to it, learn to love your body and what you put in it. What matters is how you feel, and I want you to feel healthy and happy from the inside out. And sexy in your pants too.
Real Food + Happy Body = Whole Life
Let's get this party started.
Love Notes
I sought advice from Moniqua because I wanted to learn more about food. Specifically what is good for you and why, as well as what is not good for you and why. Additionally, I needed alternatives for those guilty pleasures that were contributing to my high cholesterol and excess weight. In my case, it was sugar and dairy. In the process, I learned a great deal about nutrition, the immune system, and why you need someone like Moniqua to keep you focused and motivated. I embraced The Plante Life and after 6 months, I lost weight without trying, my LDL's are down, HDL's are up, and my cholesterol has never been better! If you want some great advice on how to eat healthy, and feel better in the process, definitely give Moniqua a call.Dave M.Sunnyvale, CA
"Moniqua is so encouraging and her energy is contagious! She really listened to what was going on in my life, understood the demands of my lifestyle and gently guided me to develop healthier eating habits, one step at a time. I've learned to appreciate real food! After only a few weeks, I felt physically able to keep up with how I saw myself mentally – youthful and energetic. Age may be a number, but it doesn't have to feel like one!"MBSan Francisco, CA
"Moniqua's passion for healthy living is infectious. She lives what she teaches and her caring nature shows through. You will embark on a partnership and experience transformation through a better understanding of what you are putting in your body. Everyone is different and Moniqua really listened and adapted a program that fit with my lifestyle. If you want to get healthy and have fun, Moniqua's your girl!"SASan Francisco, CA
"Moniqua is a force of positivity and motivation. Not only is she a trove of resources, tips and well-researched information, but an intuitive and attentive guide, and cheerleader. Because she walks her talk, sessions with Moniqua are both comforting and encouraging - like getting a wellness roadmap from your best girlfriend.
In just a few sessions and beginning to put Moniqua's recommendations into action, I immediately experienced shifts - better energy, sleep and I even dropped a few lb's! Like so many women, I have always been up on latest and often contradictory health and wellness philosophies, books, blogs, etc. and have found many to contradict one another. It can be overwhelming and confusing to determine which path is best for you. Moniqua has helped cut through the morass and examines your lifestyle, current demands and goals to develop a customized and balanced approach to nourishing yourself from the inside out. Thanks Moniqua!"AFVenice, CA

The Weinstein Company
The Weinstein Company
Jennifer Jason Leigh was just 14 years old when she attended Stagedoor Manor, a well-known performing arts summer camp in upstate New York.
At the time, she dreamed about the day she may be nominated for an Oscar.
Fast forward 39 years and the day is here! Leigh earned a best supporting actress nomination this morning for her work in Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight.
"I think all children that love acting think about this day but as you get older and older it becomes something you think about less," the 53-year-old actress just told me. "When you're a child, it all seems possible and now I'll be contending with all the friends that I said to, 'If I ever win, I will thank you!' Friends are already reminding me in a jokey way."
The Weinstein Company
Leigh didn't hear her name being called when the nominations were announced. "I was sleeping," she said. "But when I woke up I saw all these texts from my friends and people who I haven't heard from forever. It was an incredible thing to wake up to. Incredible news. I'm thrilled."
She does think the movie deserved more nominations. The only other nom it received was for original score for Ennio Morricone. "Best picture, best director, best writing, everything," Leigh said. "I love the movie so much."
When we chatted this morning, Leigh still hadn't heard from Tarantino because he's in Australia. But no matter, because she saved the message he left on her phone offering her the part.
"I will have that forever," Leigh said. "There's just no one like him. He's just such a huge part of my performance. He really wanted us to find it together and for it to be completely organic and real."
The Oscars will be handed out on Sunday, Feb. 28, at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC at 7 p.m. ET.

If ever there's a day for porridge, it's today. I rose at 4am, shivering, the rain rattling at the windows, and sleepily threw clothes into a cold suitcase. At 5 my brother arrived home, sobered by being halfdrowned in rain, after staying up all night at the National Liberal Club to watch the U.S. election unfold. He helped me get my stuff to the bus stop, both of us running down the dimly lit road, slipping on the wet leaves, teeth chattering, grim at the prospect of a missed flight and a Trump presidency.
We said goodbye at the bus stop and parted ways, he for bed and I for Heathrow. And here I am, still shivering, sleepily eating a pot of Pret porridge, thinking it doesn't taste nearly as good as anything I could make, huddled around a TV screen with other travellers from across the world, all of us watching the new U.S. President celebrate his victory. The trip was surreal to start with – I booked my flights barely a few days ago, on a whim, to go and see a friend out in Abu Dhabi – maybe I'm actually still asleep, I keep thinking. Any minute now I'll wake up from this strange dream and go to work like normal.
The jury's out on that one, but this porridge is absolutely real. It's an indulgent porridge, given the use of an entire vanilla bean, with a subtle and delicate flavour and made luxuriously creamy by the oat milk. It doesn't require much, if any, sweetness. Serve with toppings of choice, as always.
Serves 4
- 2 cups oats
- 4 cups oat milk (or any milk)
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped out
- 4 cardamom pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
- In a medium sized pan, stir together all the ingredients and heat very gently until it reaches the desired warmth and consistency. Serve into four warmed bowls and add toppings of choice.

As part of a multi-billion dollar modernization plan, the $737 million TBIT Interior Renovation project at Los Angeles International Airport improves operational efficiency, enhances customer satisfaction and convenience, and upgrades the security and safety systems at this international gateway that services almost 9 million passengers annually. The 515,000 square foot renovation creates a contemporary look for the 26-year old terminal, and according to the LA Daily News, "one of the notable differences is better lighting".
HLB's work consisted of improved illumination for the check-in areas, boarding gates, arrival lobbies, concourses, and apron, as well as the baggage claim and customs and border protection areas. This project was the first at LAX to incorporate LEED standards and is the first U.S. airport terminal renovation project to receive LEED Silver certification. Contributing to these sustainable goals, lighting control systems were revamped and occupancy sensors installed throughout to increase energy efficiency.
In the arrivals corridor on the opposite side of the wall, energy efficient, long-life linear fluorescent luminaires create a subtle water effect celebrating LA's coastal location. Goals for the custom and border protection area included providing a comfortable and non-intrusive experience for travelers, while at the same time achieving the appropriate light levels required for the important task of inspection.
Project Highlights
- • LEED Silver Certified
- • Light designed for 60 foot ceilings
- • Focused on enhancing aesthetics by delineating counters with a continuous linear source
- Leo A. Daly
Project Background
- • 515,000 square feet
- • $737 million

Becoming a professional film actor is a very difficult process. Improvisation allows movie actors true expressive freedom, since they themseleves don't know how the situation is going to turn out. In professional acting, improv is also used to cover up momentary lapses, so the audience isn't startled. The actor?s performance is mediated by particular performance signs including facial expression, emotion, and vocabulary.
Classical acting is an umbrella term for a philosophy of acting that integrates the expression of the body, voice, imagination, improvisation and script analysis. Method acting by comparison, is a range of techniques based on for training movie actors to achieve better characterizations of the characters they play. Part of the training includes actors memorizing lines and therefore being able to work without a movie script. Other acting classes may include mask work, improvisation, and showing emotion for the camera. Beyond consideration for University of Bradford film department ranking, you may think about Walla Walla University review sessions for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Series: Dublin Murder Squad #2
Published by Viking on July 17, 2008
Genres: Mystery
Source: Bought
Six months after the events of In the Woods, an urgent telephone call beckons detective Cassie Maddox to a grisly crime scene. The victim looks exactly like Cassie and carries ID identifying herself as Alexandra Madison, an alias Cassie once used. Suddenly, Cassie must discover not only who killed this girl, but, more importantly, who she is. A disturbing tale of shifting identities, The Likeness firmly establishes Tana French as an important voice in suspense fiction.
All of Lexie's roommates were creepy, Abby appeared to know more than she lets on almost acting like a know-it-all Donna Reed, keeping everything orderly, watching all her ps and qs. Justin, is a squirrelly little thing, jumping at the slightest noise and willing to please. Raphael, really fades into the background, and sometimes I forgot he was there, popping back up like an aberration. And Daniel, the mastermind of them all and has a very disturbing quality about him, being calm as a cucumber under pressure.
Cassie does an outstanding job of cat and mouse until she literally eats an onion, and like the stench I detest her undercover goes downhill, with both Cassie's persona and her friends starting to unravel like a ball of yarn.
Like French's In the Woods, The Likeness was a cool, clever, and thought out murder mystery. I really thought I had it figured out from the beginning, as Daniel is eerie like Norman Bates, therefore it must be him. Wrong! Tana French is a mastermind for playing with your head and developing alarmingly dimensional characters.
Cassie Maddox was one of the things I liked best about In the Woods and was thrilled that she came back on her own. She is an outstanding female lead who can stand on her own and take care of herself, despite her "traumatic" past, in a sense she reminds me a little of Lisbeth Salander, a character who I bitterly cried over at the end of The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest knowing she would never be written about again. Therefore, I was tickled to have a second chance with Cassie, even if it was only for a little while.

The ratings are in. According to USA Today, "NFL games…were down 11% for the first six weeks of the season when compared to a similar point last year." What's the explanation for the drop in viewership? The USA Today article makes a big deal of the election and the two debates. Since the media blames him for everything else, maybe Trump's to blame for this as well!
Or maybe, just maybe, this has something to do with Colin Kaepernick's and his 'Black Lives Matter' comrades' manifestly irrational anti-American flimflam. A Yahoo Sports/YouGov poll released last month found that 44% of NFL fans said they would stop watching NFL games if the protests continue. This shouldn't be surprising. According to the same poll, Americans don't like his flagrant anti-Americanism: "47 percent of Americans oppose Kaepernick's protest, with 32 percent in support and the remaining 21 percent either neutral or declining to offer an opinion." Even if Kaepernick has a point about systemic police discrimination against blacks (he doesn't, not least because blacks disproportionately commit violent crimes, which explains why they are disproportionately involved in police encounters), disrespecting the country at an NFL game probably isn't an appropriate venue at which to express it. Most people don't like seeing (especially radically left-wing) politics injected into sports, which is why it isn't even mildly surprising that the increasingly political NFL is losing many of its fans.
We know that, generally, leftists aren't the kind of people who are sports fans; they're too busy being offended by everything. Despite this, they are bizarrely interested in changing them. One example is the way in which they've injected the ideologies of transgenderism and feminism into sports (and the military). The fact that males are generally physically stronger than females and, by extension, generally better than them at sports is an inconvenient one for these ideologies and the ideology of equality, so they choose to ignore it altogether and pretend that it ain't a fact at all (if you think that even mentioning this truism is sexist, then you're probably one of these halfwits). That's why a man can now make a living out of beating up on women if only he believes (quite falsely) that he's a woman. Another example is the Left's obsession with allegedly politically incorrect team names, such as the Washington Redskins. This obsession involves calling for people to boycott these teams until they capitulate to their demands to change the names (fortunately, these attempts almost invariably fail). Objections to the Redskins moniker are especially fatuous since, according to a Washington Post poll, 9 in 10 American Indians—the very people the Left believes that the name offends—aren't at all offended. The same poll found that "7 in 10 said they did not feel the word "Redskin" was disrespectful to Indians. An even higher number — 8 in 10 — said they would not be offended if a non-native called them that name." So why do (mostly white) leftists moan about the Redskins name? Because they are professional virtue-signalers and experts in the tactics of feigning outrage and offense.
The truth is that many, perhaps most, leftists hate sport because they recognise that it is a fundamentally conservative institution. Sports are jingoistic (according to that left-wing hero Noam Chomsky, "professional sports are a way of building up jingoist fanaticism…[and] an irrational submissiveness to power"), competitive, merit-based and rewarding, inegalitarian, respectful of time-honored traditions and the past, law/rule-abiding, personal responsibility-promoting, gender realist (leftists would say misogynistic), and a way for the ordinary man to improve his lot without the intervention of the state. These are all characteristics the Left associates with conservatism.
Sports are like this partly because their fans are relatively conservative. But the Left couldn't care less what ordinary folk think. It's precisely because they believe (correctly, we think) that sport is a fundamentally conservative institution that they want to tear it down. And if they can't do that with the immediacy that they doubtless desire, they'll slowly eat away at its core until it's utterly unrecognizable. For them, left-wing politics and ideology must invade every area of life. Their object is the destruction of institutions and traditions.
This is the rotten fruit of leftism.
