Lentil Salad With Beets and Spinach
Precooked lentils make this healthy lunch come together in 10 minutes (or less!). You can also roast the beets ahead of time—look for the golden variety in grocery stores. They're much less messy than red beets, which can stain your hands and your cutting board.
One-Pot Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes
In March 2015 we made pasta night easier by cooking the noodles right in the sauce. This not only saves on cleanup; the stock also infuses the pasta with flavor as it cooks, and the starch helps to thicken the sauce so it clings.
Creamed Curried Spinach
Curry powder adds warmth and earthiness to this speedy version of creamed spinach. Whole milk yogurt gives the side a luscious mouth feel and plenty of body. Serve with steak or with seared planks of spice-rubbed tofu.
Feta-Quinoa Cakes With Spinach
While most precooked grains call for some cooking to reheat and finish hydrating, we skip that step here. The quinoa will plump in the liquid from the batter and finish cooking in the skillet.
Spinach, Hummus, and Bell Pepper Wraps
Make this super-simple wrap the night before, wrap in parchment paper or plastic wrap, and store in the fridge—just grab it in the morning on your way out the door. Use Flatout Light whole-grain flatbreads to keep calories in check; you can find them at most supermarkets, usually in the bakery section.
Zucchini and Spinach Chilaquiles
This verde version of a Mexican brunch classic is the perfect introduction to summer. Queso fresco has the texture of strained ricotta—it won't quite melt under the broiler, but its mild flavor will be a welcome contrast to the heat in the tomatillo mixture. Add scrambled eggs to each serving for a little extra protein.
Spinach Pesto Pasta with Shrimp
Pesto tends to go army green if made ahead. We blanch the spinach and basil to preserve color without diluting flavor. Fresh tomato adds moisture and a mild acidity to the sauce.
Roasted Red Pepper and Pine Nut Salad
Spring mix, a blend of small, tender lettuces, is an ideal base for side salads with a more delicate profile (think herbs, berries, and nuts rather than croutons, pungent cheeses, or big, crunchy vegetables). This Mediterranean version would be a perfect side for citrus-and-herb baked chicken and Greek-style roasted potatoes.
Sausage, Spinach, and Apple Breakfast Sandwiches
We swap the classic egg and cheese combo for crisp, tart apple slices and sautéed spinach. Use any bulk turkey breakfast sausage for this sandwich or try our DIY version.
Cheesy Chicken-and-Spinach Stromboli Ring
Instead of serving pizza, shake up dinner with a gorgeous stromboli ring. Though it may look difficult to make, it's actually an easy process (see our step-by-step instructions). Most store-bought pizza dough comes in 1-or 1 1/2-pound portions, but you only need 12 ounces for this recipe. Use the leftovers to make breadsticks or flatbread the next day.
Pesto Chicken with Blistered Tomatoes
Here, pesto acts as a binder, helping the crispy panko topping stick to the chicken. Serve with green beans tossed with lemon rind. Garnish with any extra basil you have on hand.
Vegetable Soup au Pistou
A traditional French pistou is a nut-free pesto, but the spinach pesto (or any refrigerated brand) is delicious here. Don't rinse the canned beans after draining; any remaining starches will help bring the soup together.
Creamed Spinach with Hazelnuts
Unlike some versions of creamed spinach, here you actually taste the greens. They're enhanced by—but not overwhelmed by—the creamy sauce.
Salmon and Spinach Salad
Tarragon and fresh fennel both have the same faint licorice flavor, but they don't overwhelm this simple spring salad. Salmon is the perfect protein for this dish: It cooks quickly, separates into large, pretty flakes, and stands up to the mint, tarragon, and garlic. This dish would also be a great use for leftover salmon. Refrigerate the cooked fillets whole, and then separate into flakes just before serving. If you don't care for fennel, swap in another crunchy element like sliced cucumber or celery. Serve with toasted whole-grain baguette slices spread with softened goat cheese or salted butter.
Chicken and Butternut Gnocchi
Gnocchi are the base for a simple toss with sweet butternut squash, rich chicken thighs, spinach, and sage. Prepared gnocchi is a fast cook's dream. They don't need to be boiled separately, take on a beautiful sear, and will hold up after a thorough sauté and simmer with other ingredients. A dollop of prepared pesto binds and brightens the dish. Look for prepeeled and cubed butternut squash to save even more time. Instead of spinach, you could also try tender baby kale. For a bit of heat, add 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper to the pan before you simmer the squash.
Spinach, Bacon, and Gruyère Breakfast Strata
This dish has fewer than 20g of total carbs—about half of what you'll find in classic bread-based casseroles. Greek yogurt, eggs, and cheese pack a mighty protein punch, while a touch of bacon seasons to perfection. The strata is best if allowed to soak overnight. Not only does this build in make-ahead convenience, it also allows the bread to fully absorb the egg mixture—yielding a creamy texture inside, while the top bread pieces get delightfully crisp.
Spinach-Walnut Pesto
We swap fresh basil and pine nuts for ingredients that are more evergreen and everyday, perfect for a vibrant hit in cooler months. The warmth from the toasted walnuts will help the sauce emulsify in the food processor; toast in a dry skillet over medium-low for 5 minutes or until fragrant and warm. Dollop this pesto over vegetable soups, spread on crusty whole-wheat bread, or spoon over fish or chicken. If using as a pasta sauce, use the starchy pasta cooking liquid to thin the pesto in the food processor so that it coats the noodles.
Spinach, Beet, and Lentil Salad
Raw beets offer earthy flavor and meaty texture and add crunch and color to this salad. Use our beets guide for helpful prep tips and ideas on how to put this spring and fall vegetable to good use in a variety of yummy recipes. Lentils are a great source of protein and fiber in this recipe. They make a great addition to soups, stews, salads, vegetarian dishes, and more. Best of all, they're quick-cooking and don't require soaking. Our compilation of favorite recipes features more than 30 dishes featuring various types of lentils.
Sausage and Spinach Spaghetti Pie
Meet your new favorite casserole recipe. This budget-friendly dish (costing under $10) allows you to stretch a small amount of meat over several servings. It's family friendly, filling, and loaded with flavor–the perfect weeknight meal. The high heat on this recipe allows it to cook quickly, crisping the spaghetti slightly on the outside to make the perfect "pie crust" for this dish. You can use crumbled sausage in this dish, or start with Italian sausage and remove the casing, which is what the recipe calls for. Remove the casing by cutting up the side with a knife or kitchen shears, then crumble the sausage using a spoon in the skillet as it cooks.
White Bean and Vegetable Bowls with Frizzled Eggs
This easy bowl of brothy goodness is loaded with both veggies and umami depth–it's comfort food you can feel good about. It's also great for times when the food budget is tight, as it costs only about $11 for 4 servings. One-bowl dinners are a great way to solve the "What's for Dinner?" question that strikes daily. This flavorful option offers up a vegetarian option. The eggs add great protein and staying power to the veggie-heavy dish. The ingredients are similar to what you find in a traditional chili, but the results are anything but. Grab a bowl and enjoy.
Spinach, Cheese, and Bacon Bread Puddings
You just can't go wrong with a savory bread pudding—think of it as a cross between holiday stuffing and a cheesy breakfast casserole. If you don't have individual ramekins, place the bread mixture in an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. For a vegetarian spin, skip the bacon, sub vegetable stock for chicken stock, and add shiitake or cremini mushrooms to the onion mixture.
Spinach and Arugula Salad with Creamy Parmesan Dressing
This light in calories but rich in taste dressing meets at the happy place between Caesar and ranch. Spinach, arugula, and matchstick turnips make it a hearty salad, but you can add grilled chicken or grilled shrimp for a Caesar salad dinner that the whole family will love.
Spaghetti Squash Lasagna with Spinach
Swirl up a forkful of this rich, creamy play on lasagna. Packed with the same great flavors of the traditional dish, our veggie-packed version packs in nutrition while slashing carbs.
Spaghetti with Spinach-Avocado Sauce
Move over, pesto: You're not the only sauce worth going green for. Pureed avocado makes this dish positively irresistible. Garnish with extra basil leaves, if desired.
Creamed Winter Greens
Two beloved dark leafy greens, spinach and lacinato kale, combine to bring deep, earthy flavor to this updated take on classic creamed spinach.
One-Pot Cheesy Pasta Bake
This easy skillet pasta bake is a surefire family hit. Pasta and meat sauce topped with mozzarella cheese will make everyone at the table happy, and the all-in-one-pot technique will have the cook smiling pretty. Get the kids involved in this family-friendly meal. Kids can help measure wet and dry ingredients as well as sprinkle cheese on the finished product. Use prep time with older kids to reinforce counting, conversions, and measuring by weight.
Wheat Berry, Spinach, and Strawberry Salad
This super spinach salad is topped with strawberries, wheat berry mixture, feta cheese, balsamic vinegar, and more.
Chicken, Spinach, and Mushroom Lasagna
Chicken thighs poach until tender in stock, which becomes the base for a creamy béchamel sauce. No-boil noodles absorb more liquid during baking for a sturdy slice after freezing and reheating.
Spinach-Quinoa Cakes with Bell Pepper Relish
The quinoa mixture is very moist but will firm up beautifully in the oven. Press firmly when shaping the cakes, and be careful when transferring to the hot baking sheet. Place directly on pan for crispier cakes, or use parchment paper for quicker cleanup.
Crispy Chicken Thighs with Spinach-and-Pea Potato Salad
Sneak another veg into the potatoes with our green dressing that has peas and spinach. This recipe's a time-saver, too: A quick sear and a sprinkle of panko cuts prep and cook time in half compared to breading and baking. Serve with Chili-Lime Corn.
Ricotta-Spinach Dumplings
Choose a low-moisture ricotta. If you can't shape a loose ball with the cheese, place it in a strainer, and drain the excess liquid for about an hour.
Spaghetti with Pistachio-Mint Pesto and Spinach
Pistachios lend deep, earthy flavors to this pasta dish that is ideal for potlucks and feeding large crowds.
Dak Bokkeum with Spinach (Korean Stewed Chicken with Spinach)
Dak bokkeum, adapted here, is often a one-pot Korean dish of chicken, carrot, onion, and potato, all stewed in a spicy-sweet sauce. But you can adapt it to a mix of your favorite veggies. Our version features spinach and flavorful chicken thighs.
Creamy Four-Cheese Pasta With Spinach
Pasta night perfection. Four cheeses team up with gluten-free pasta to deliver a wholesome indulgence.
Gnocchi With Spinach and Pepper Sauce
Our shortcut version of Spain's beloved romesco sauce boasts all the smoky flavor of the original with a fraction of the prep time.
Double Chickpea and Tomato-Spinach Pasta
Here are 7 reasons you'll love this hearty outside-the-box pasta dinner: 1. Canned chickpeas and chickpea pasta add loads of fiber and plant-based protein. 2. Chickpea pasta is gluten free. So, yay! 3. No meat + no dairy = a very vegan friendly dish. 4. The quick basil-garlic oil trick is one you'll use over and over again. 5. Cooking the pasta in a mixture of water and tomato sauce means you only have one pot to clean. 6. Thanks to plant-based ingredients and healthy fats, the serving size is nice and hearty—1 1/2 cups per person! 7. The roasted chickpeas are fantastic on their own, either for snacking or topping a salad.
Spinach-Artichoke Strata
This easy get-ahead dish plays off the appeal of spinach-artichoke dip. Assemble everything the night before; in the morning, let the strata stand while the oven preheats, and then pop it in. You don't need to fully blend in the herbed cheese; it's nice to hit little "pockets" of creamy goodness.
Potato Quiche with Spinach
Part custardy quiche, part decadent potato gratin, this breakfast-for-dinner dish gets a golden crust thanks to a generous amount of heart-healthy olive oil. Pair it with a classic spinach salad for a burst of nutrients and some delicious crunch.
Wilted Spinach and Fried Egg Wheat Berry Bowl
Start this hearty breakfast bowl with a batch of perfect wheat berries, and then add a tangy twist and some probiotics with kimchi. Round it out with spinach, peanuts, and an egg. Sprinkle with chile flakes for extra heat.
Basil-Ricotta Ravioli with Spinach
Wonton wrappers are the secret to these seemingly from-scratch pasta pillows. Skip the fancy folds; just make sure to seal the ravioli well. The ravioli fare better with a delicate sauce—here, just a drizzle of olive oil and lemon.

Highlights are as follows:
Reason behind him not talking for a month on TV when he came back to WWE in 2012: "It was Vince's idea for me to come out and not say anything and I knew when I came back people would be cheering me because I'd been gone for so long so I thought whats the best way to take away what the people want?People wanna hear this character speak So I thought what if I just don't talk so it was Vince's idea for me to not say anything and it went so well to the point where I said why don't I just not talk for the entire month on the air or whatever and that's kinda what we did."
Thoughts on people posting spoilers online like the picture of him at Nashville Airport or news leaking that Brock Lesnar was in talks with WWE: "I think that people feel entitled nowadays because of the internet, they think they have the right to know what's going on even before it happens and with that picture in Nashville, I was 250 miles away so who could say I would've been going to RAW? I could've been in Nashville or Atlanta but I think it peaked the fans interest. It's funny though because that picture of me ended up being super imposed of me like walking down abbey road with The Beatles, I was standing at the JFK assasination, the pyramids of Egypt, all these funny things of like 'Oh Where's Jericho?' .......I think if you don't wanna read spoilers then don't go online. I think there's a small amount of people who watch every week that read the spoilers, just like a small amount that read Billboard Magazine if you're a musician or Variety magazine if you're an actor. But I think the majority of people don't really give a s--t and they just wanna watch and see how it unfolds. That's the way I am. If i go to a movie, I don't wanna know the ending or know the plot before I see it, I wanna watch it the way it was meant to be seen."
How he almost quit the WWF the night he won the title from Triple H in 2000: "I remember the week before I lost to Viscera on Sunday Night Heat and I was like "This is it" I was pissed off, I was ready to quit. I showed up that day and i told one of the writers "I'm done, this is bulls--t" At that point I wanted to go, nobody was forcing me to quit, I just wasn't doing anything. Brian told me "Maybe you should wait before you go talk to him" He said "You're gonna win the title tonight" I think it was a test to see what the crowd would do. I think if Vince knew how the crowd would react he might not have had me lose it later that night but it was the first test that I had that I passed with flying colours not just with Vince but with Triple H as well. It was the first time I'd had a great match in WWE. Even though I lost, I won that night. Thats what led to my last man standing match with Triple H."

[Authors and titles are listed at the end of the review.]
Ethopoeia was one of the progymnasmata or introductory exercises practised in ancient schools as an introduction to rhetoric and a means to learn how to write literary compositions. It consisted of the impersonation of the speech of a character, whose personality and situation should be taken into account, and exerted a major influence on the way how Imperial and Late Antique authors wrote dialogues and speeches.1 This work offers 11 studies and two appendixes on the presence of ethopoeia during the Imperial Period and Late Antiquity, focusing on the interaction of rhetoric (as known mainly through the treatises of Progymnasmata by Aelius Theo, Ps. Hermogenes, Aphthonius and Nicolaus of Mira) and literature at school and proves to be path-breaking in its use of ethopoeia as a unifying element of authors and works which are chronologically and stylistically very distant.
The book publishes the contributions afforded by an international group of scholars (Carla Castelli, Pierre-Louis Malosse, Gianfranco Agosti, Bernard Schouler, Jacques Schamp, Federica Ciccolella and Martin Steinrück) to a conference on ethopoeia held at the University of Friburg in February 2005. To these were added papers by Christine Heusch, Jesús Ureña Bracero, Gianluca Ventrella and Eugenio Amato, as well as two appendices by Gianluca Ventrella and Eugenio Amato. The original languages of the different authors have been respected and that results in a book that contains four articles in Italian, four in French, one in English, one in Spanish and one in German.
After the Préface by Marie-Pierre Noël and the "Avant propos" by Eugenio Amato and Jacques Schamp, follows the article by Carla Castelli. Its starting point is Philostratus' interest in the physical aspect of the sophists as part of his approach to their ethos, but the author focuses attention on just one type, that of the rustic (
Christine Heusch contributes an article in which she analyses the rhetorical theory of progymnasmata as a basis for the discourse of the elite (therefore it should be read together with the first appendix by G. Ventrella, "L'etopea nella definizione degli antichi retori", pp. 179-212) and the practical application of this theory, mainly through examples offered by rhetors.
Gianfranco Agosti, well known for his research on Nonnus of Panopolis and Late Antique Greek epic in general, offers a study on the presence of ethopoeia in Late Antique Greek poetry, to be read with the appendices he offers (pp. 55-60) and the second Appendix by E. Amato and G. Ventrella (pp. 213-231). Agosti deals first with those compositions that have a direct and secure relationship with the school, that is the ethopoeia by eleven-year-old Quintus Sulpicius Maximus, preserved on his gravestone (IG XIV 2012 = Kaibel, EG 618);2 several known through papyri and related materials: P.Lond.Lit. 51 (II AD.Oxy. IV 671 (IIIAD.Ryl. III 487 (III. Graves3 and P. Heid. inv. 1271v;4 and those in the Anthologia Palatina IX (126, 449, 451-452, 454-480). After that he examines several poems which, following the standard structure, do not belong to the school stricto sensu, such as those by Dioscorus of Aphrodito (41-46 Fournet), the fragment of Pantheleus' poem (Heitsch XXIII) and those by John of Gaza (Anacr. 6 Ciccolella) and George the Grammarian (Anacr. 1-6b Ciccolella). P. Oxy. 3537r (III AD) poses more problems and Agosti considers the possibility of its being part of a literary controversy. Finally, to this section he adds the two biblical ethopoeias preserved in the Codex Visionum : P.Bodmer 33, words of Cain after killing Abel and P. Bodmer 34, words of Abel after being killed by Cain (eidolopoeia) and P.Bodmer 20, words of Abraham, Sara and Isaac after receiving the order to sacrifice Isaac. In the third place Agosti analyses the presence of ethopoeia as a part of longer extant poems, especially the Dionysiaca by Nonnus of Panopolis, to conclude that in Egypt the practice of composing hexametric ethopoeias was widely spread from the school on, a phenomenon maybe related to the success of Nonnus' Dionysiaca, and had a consideration of its own which explains its self-standing use. To this impressive collection of material two more ethopoeias should be added: PSI VI 722 (3rd cent. AD; fragmentary words of Priam when about to rescue Hector's body) and P.Flor. III 390 (Hermoupolis Magna, 5th cent. AD; fragmentary words of Polyxena when driven to the Greek camp to be sacrificed).5
Pierre-Louis Malosse stresses the relationship between epistolary fiction and progymnasmata treatises devoted to ethopoeia: in both epistolary fiction and ethopoeia the writer pretends to be a third person, although the link of letters to ethopoeia can be occasional (fictional letters used in non-epistolary contexts), indirect (the Heroides by Ovid) or direct (proper epistolary fiction). Malosse focuses on the third type and examines its relationship with the rules of ethopoeia concerning the impersonated character, the addressee, the circumstances and the contents of the composition. Ethopoeia and epistolary fiction are thought to be sisters, born of identical principles and grown up in parallel though independent developments.
Bernard Schouler deals with ethopoeia as a figure of speech and analyses five examples in Libanius (1. Medea, 2. Andromaca, 11. a painter, 12. Achilles, 18. a prostitute) to conclude that they glide from the realm of rhetoric towards that of poetics, as their main function is not to persuade but to please, in a development similar to the one undergone by the ekphrasis.
After considering the means an ancient student could turn to to compose an ethopoeia, Jesús Ureña Bracero, author of several previous articles on ethopoeia,6 concentrates on those related to
Gianluca Ventrella has produced a full study of Libanius' ethopoeia 11 ("Words of Medea when about to kill her own children"). It is classed as simple, though finishing with an address to her children; according to Aphthonius' Progymnasmata it would be termed as mixed, that is including ethos and pathos (cf. X 35,9-10 Rabe), but several later rhetors (including John of Sardes XV 207,13-25) add a pragmatical type, used in didascalic contexts or whenever the character wishes to complete anything, usually an exhortation, which proves to be also included in this case (Medea's
Ventrella analyses the contents and argumentation related to ethos, pathos and pragma and Libanius' approach to his model, Euripides' Medea. Eugenio Amato explores two texts by Dracontius, approaching them from the point of view of ethopoeia for the first time. Rom. 4 (Words of Hercules when seeing that the heads of Hydra kept reviving after being cut) is a mixed ethopoeia in which the author introduces several variants to the traditional myth, used as the theme for ethopoeias in several other authors. Rom. 2.152-163 deals also with Hercules, in the context of the myth of Hylas, and has the structure, style and rhetorical colours of a pathetic ethopoeia. Both of them should be related to the school run by grammaticus Felicianus.
Jacques Schamp's study on Phot. Bibl. cod. 279, 534a 37 concentrates on the anecdotes about Demosthenes which are placed under numbers 3a-3b and traces them back to Plutarch and other authors and forward to Ethop. 7 Amato by Severus of Alexandria. Thus he provides an excellent example of the evolution of contents, conventions and styles in the history of Greek literature and rhetoric.
Martin Steinrück studies the impact and implications of accentual rhythm in the poetry of Severus of Alexandria, in particular its use to create the author's ethos and to paint the personality of the character impersonated in an ethopoeia.
Federica Ciccolella analyses the nine Anacreontic poems (including six ethopoeias) preserved in the Vaticanus Barberinianus gr. 310 and attributed to George the Grammarian. Ciccolella thinks that poems 47-54 (1-6) may be of Palestinian origin (Gaza?), while 55 (7), 57 (9) and probably 56 (8) are likely to have been composed in Egypt. All of them are products of rhetorical schools that were assembled in an anthology at the end of Late Antiquity.
The book finishes with two appendixes. The first, by G. Ventrella, is an anthology of Italian translations of all the texts related to the (Greek and Latin) theory of ethopoeia, each of them headed by a brief introduction. Aristoteles and Dionysius of Halicarnasus are not included and the first author is Aelius Theo, usually placed in the 1st century AD. The second one, by E. Amato and G. Ventrella, offers a chronological repertory of literary and school ethopoeias, both Greek and Latin, in four headings: literary ethopoeias, school ethopoeias, ethopoeias (subjects) mentioned by rhetors and lost ethopoeias by known authors. These two appendixes offer an extremely valuable tool to study the evolution of progymnasmatic theory and comparison of progymnasmata with literary texts. The addition of a full updated bibliography on ethopoeia in a third appendix would not have come amiss.
This book is very welcome for its sensible and sensitive approach to different fields of Imperial and Late Antique Literature, some of which only very lately have received the attention they deserve. This study may be read as well as an invitation to scholars to carry further the investigations on ethopoeia, treating themes not dealt with in it, such as Christian ethopoeia from the Gospels and Saint Paul on to Byzantine times (including eg. P.Bodmer, mentioned by G. Agosti), or Latin ethopoeia (Ovid's Heroides, Statius, Claudian). It invites scholars to approach other compositions taking, as a starting point, other progymnasmata, such as diegesis, ekphrasis, enkomion, synkrisis, and thesis.

Enver Pasha's aim was not to take over a small town like Sarıkamış. In a secret telegraph he sent to the army headquarters, he expressed that he wanted to stop the Russians, move in to Iran, Azerbaijan, Dagestan, Turkestan, Afghanistan and give all the Muslims in the geography their independence. It did not happen.
After returning to Istanbul from the unsuccessful Sarıkamış Operation, Enver Pasha forbid everyone from speaking or writing about the incident. The first article series that explained Sarıkamış and openly swore at Enver Pasha for his failure was published seven years later in 1921 in the Akşam newspaper under Şerif İlden's signature. The aim is not to explain Sarıkamış, the aim is to discredit and hamper Enver Pasha who was planning to go into Anatolia and be in command of the War of Independence.
The Sarıkamış failure was used as a tool to "mold the public opinion" and use it as a means to administer the "propaganda war," the "perception operation."
Our epic Gallipoli victory was won two months after Sarıkamış, with Enver Pasha as the commander of the war. No one knows this "detail."
Nor does anyone know about the Kut al-Amara victory. That, too, is Enver Pasha's victory. However, no one knew about this or even the war itself. Because the British were not fond of hearing anything about the Kut al-Amara war in the U.K. or in Turkey.
One-hundred-and-two years ago, no media existed like what we have today. Social media and an information society were not around either. But there were many traitors back then, too.
Enver Pasha knew that he would play into the hands of the Sarıkamış traitors. He knew very well that he would have to secure himself to victor in Çanakkale, to hold the British army captive in Kut al-Amara. He knew well that a mentality that thought, "Let the Bulgarians enter Edirne rather than Enver," would not abstain from setting its own country on fire for its own interests. That's why he had forbidden the discussion of the Sarıkamış incident.
We have been fighting terrorism for 32 years but have not been able to achieve the victory we desire, because we cannot get support. While our soldiers, police, village guards risk their lives in the front, unfortunately the media, social media, NGOs, and sometimes Parliament stabs them in the back, thus causing them to fall. We are hit by the West while we fight in the east.
Are we not going through the same thing in the al-Bab operation?
Our soldiers are fighting in al-Bab without batting an eyelid and are running toward martyrdom. But our soldiers are attacked from behind by the co-conspirators of the bloody-handed, disbelieving, savage Daesh within our borders.
Stabbing from behind is the Peoples' Democratic Party's (HDP) existentialist mission. The Republican People's Party (CHP) is also a party in this. The controlled media, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook became the voluntary propagators for these terrorist organizations.
What about the Hürriyet daily? What can we possibly say about its efforts to cover the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) dimension of the Karlov assassination and put the blame on other terrorist organizations? What about it aiding and abetting Daesh through al-Bab, and constantly bringing up the "Turkey is supporting Daesh and al-Nusra" lie? Isn't this slyly touching the nerve ends?
This is not journalism, this is outright supporting terrorism and stabbing Turkey, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) and our soldiers in the back.
A century ago they were saying, "We would rather the Bulgarians take Edirne instead of Enver." Now they say, "We would rather terrorism destroy Turkey instead of Erdoğan eliminating terrorism," and "We prefer Daesh triumphing over Turkey, rather than Turkey achieving victory over Daesh."
No army that is not supported and secured will ever achieve victory. Alparslan, Fatih, Yavuz Sultan Selim and Enver Pasha all received support, hence, achieved victories.
We now clearly see that if we want to achieve victory over the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and its Syrian offshoot the Democratic Union Party (PYD), Daesh and FETÖ, we need to make sure we are backed.
Turkey has been doing this for a while, it is being backed. It is fighting the traitors in the back while fighting the enemies at the front. Our enemies sometimes call this "banned," sometimes "censored," sometimes "freedom of press, freedom of speech, obstructing politics."
None of the above are important. While we fight for our independence, we are conducting a fair struggle against those who are stabbing us in the back. God willing, we will win in all fronts, we will win by backing ourselves.
The only thing that is important is our independence and solidarity, not what others have to say.

An altercation at a Hartford nightclub spilled out into the parking lot and escalated into a shooting that critically injured a 33-year-old man and wounded a 21-year-old woman early Sunday morning, according to preliminary reports, police said.
Hours after police responded to a shooting that seriously injured a man at 2006 Main Street, there was another report of a person shot when gunfire erupted outside Club Vibz at 3155 Main Street in Hartford.
When Hartford patrol and shooting task force officers got to the scene, they found a woman with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to her right breast in the parking lot. Police identified her as Niyah Young, 21, of Hartford.
A 33-year-old Hartford man, Jason Dakers, arrived at St. Francis Hospital in a private vehicle to be treated for multiple gun shot wounds to his torso and limbs. He was rushed into emergency surgery and is listed in critical but stable condition.
Preliminary reports on the incident revealed that an unidentified person wielding a handgun opened fire at Dakers and accidentally hit Young after an altercation that started in the club and continued in the parking lot, police said.
Police have not identified any suspects at this time.
Hartford detectives are investigating the shooting, police said.
The two separate incidents of violence came after another shooting early Saturday morning that killed a 34-year-old Hartford man named Jonathan Whaley.
Police ask anyone with information to contact the Hartford Police Department on its routine line at 860-527-6300 or leave anonymous tips on the department's website at www.hartford.gov/Police

NBA commissioner David Stern will present the Top 10 list on the Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday, according to the show's website.
Stern, who is set to retire from his position on Feb. 1, can bask in attention at times, as we all have witnessed on past NBA Draft days, where he welcomed boos from the crowd with snide smile.
When Stern steps in front of the cameras this week, it won't be the first time he has done the Top 10 on Letterman, however. Stern took on the same task in the late '90s, as was evident from his Michael Jordan-heavy jokes in the segment, which focused on "New Slogans for the NBA."
This showing came after the lockout of the 1998-99 season, and he had some jokes addressing that as well. One of the best: "We all just lost a lot of money, so please tip your point guard."So, without further adieu, check out Stern on Letterman, and remember, he worked to get you nachos for under $20.

21 Sep Java's undeniable impact on the Web
Nearly a dozen years ago, Eric Schmidt, then the CTO of Sun Microsystems, gave the DEMO audience a preview of a new development language called Java. A thoroughly modern development platform for the still relatively new World Wide Web and beyond, Java promised to ease programming headaches, the biggest of which was porting applications from one hardware platform to another.
Today, we can debate whether Java truly delivers on its "write once, run anywhere promise." (There's enough evidence in the mobile marketplace alone that Java apps aren't always easy ports.) But there's little argument that Java has become a mainstay in the technology landscape. Java powers more than 2.5 billion devices worldwide. Millions of people download Java each month. And at DEMOfall next week, a clear 50 percent of the products were developed in whole or in part in Java.
Among those products:
• The first platform for sharing personal photos and videos on local cable channels.
• A next-generation mobile payment transaction platform.
• Sophisticated software that searches out the most influential conversations in the blogosphere.
• An application that brings the convenience of BlackBerry-like e-mail to regular mobile phones.
• A wireless platform for retail store management.
• A communications center for active families that bridges desktop, Web, and mobile phones.
These few examples demonstrate the flexibility and wide-ranging applicability of Java. From server-side Java to Java Smart Card to J2ME, every variation of Java is represented in this fall's product lineup.
Indeed, Java has become so mainstream that it's easy to forget how far and how fast this development platform has come: from a technical demonstration to a platform of choice for today's developers in just 11 years. If it's been a while since you've explored the world through a Java-colored lens, I recommend you visit "Duke's Zone" at http://www.java.com/en/dukeszone/.
As for DEMO, we're very glad that Java is a part of our proud history.

Assange drops appeal against length of jail term for breaching bail
London: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has dropped an appeal against his 50-week jail term in Britain for jumping bail by going into the Ecuadorian embassy.
Assange, 48, entered the embassy in London on June 19, 2012, to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he was wanted in connection with sexual offences allegations.
He spent nearly seven years living in the embassy until being dramatically dragged out by police in April after Ecuador revoked his political asylum.
He was jailed for 50 weeks for breaching his bail conditions, just short of the one-year maximum for the offence.
He lodged an appeal against the length of his sentence and a hearing was due to take place at the Court of Appeal in London on July 23.
But Assange is no longer pursuing the appeal and a spokeswoman for the judiciary confirmed on Thursday that the planned hearing had been cancelled.
Sentencing him at Southwark Crown Court in May, Judge Deborah Taylor said it was "difficult to envisage a more serious example" of breaching the Bail Act.
Assange wrote to the court to apologise for his actions, which he said he regretted and acknowledged might have placed him in a more serious situation.
Judge Taylor said this was the first time he had expressed contrition over his actions, which she stated cost at least £16 million ($28 million) in public funds.
"Firstly, by entering the embassy, you deliberately put yourself out of reach, whilst remaining in the UK," she said.
"You remained there for nearly seven years, exploiting your privileged position to flout the law and advertise internationally your disdain for the law of this country."
She also said his actions "undoubtedly" affected Swedish prosecutors' efforts, which were discontinued in May 2017, "not least because you remained in the embassy".
In a handwritten letter to the court, Assange said he went into hiding while "struggling with terrifying circumstances".
"I apologise unreservedly to those who consider that I have disrespected them by the way I have pursued my case," he added.
"I did what I thought at the time was the best and perhaps the only thing that could be done, which I hoped might lead to a legal resolution being reached between Ecuador and Sweden that would protect me from the worst of my fears.
"I regret the course that this took.
"Whilst the difficulties I now face may have become even greater, nevertheless it is right for me to say this now."
Assange entered the embassy while under intense scrutiny over the leaks of hundreds of thousands of classified US diplomatic cables on his whistle-blowing website.
The drastic move came after he exhausted all legal options in fighting extradition to Sweden over two separate allegations - one of rape and one of molestation.
Assange is fighting extradition to the US where he faces 18 charges including allegations of conspiring with intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to hack into a classified Pentagon computer.

Spent catalyst is a by-product generated by oil refineries. There are two types of spent catalysts produced from oil refineries in Oman; Zeolite catalyst generated at Sohar Refinery and Equilibrium catalyst generated at Mina Al-Fahl Refinery. Spent catalyst can be used in concrete applications due to its pozzolanic nature. This study investigates the potential use of spent catalysts in concrete as partial substitute of sand at w/c ratios of 0.5 and 0.7. Concrete mixtures with different proportions of spent catalyst (up to 25% as sand repalcement) were prepared. Concrete mixtures were evaluated for compressive strength, setting time, water absorption, and corrosion resistance. The results showed that using 25% of the Sohar refinery's spent catalyst as sand replacement gave 73% increase in the cubes compressive strength at w/c ratio of 0.7. However, using spent catalyst from Mina Al-Fahl Refinery as sand replacement decreases the compressive strength gradually with the increase of spent catalyst percentage. The results also indicated that the elapsed time decreased as the quantity of spent catalyst from both refineries increases. Negligible increase in the total water absorption was observed in concrete when both spent catalysts were used. Concrete specimens made with spent catalyst from Sohar Refinery showed good corrosion resistance than the control mixture whereas spent catalyst from Mina Al- Fahl Refinery accelerated the corrosion process.

When WhatsApp made clear that it planned to share a lot more information with parent company Facebook, including sensitive data such as phone number, device particulars and location, some users were not happy. But WhatsApp didn't just make those changes. It included them in a new privacy policy and asked users to agree or not.
TechCrunch noted that users who don't agree will soon become non-users.
"In an email to one of its merchant partners, …Facebook-owned WhatsApp said it will 'slowly ask' such users to comply with the new terms 'in order to have full functionality of WhatsApp' starting May 15," TechCrunch reported. "If they still don't accept the terms, 'for a short time (later defined as "a few weeks"), these users will be able to receive calls and notifications, but will not be able to read or send messages from the app. WhatsApp's policy for inactive users states that accounts are 'generally deleted after 120 days of inactivity.'"
First, how wonderfully charitable and considerate are Facebook and WhatsApp for this move. They clearly felt that Signal and Telegram (and other messaging apps) needed a revenue boost so they did this to pressure their users to switch to a different messaging platform. Call it courtesy in the extreme.
Secondly, isn't the original premise of privacy policies to let the company show how much they are protecting customer data? When did it morph into, "We're going to make this as boring as possible so that no one reads it. And then we'll list all of the ways we think of you as a source of data to exploit rather than as people."
WhatsApp does not treat all interaction data the same, however. For the moment, user-to-user/customer-to-customer/consumer-to-consumer messaging is encrypted and considered private. But when a user communicates with a business, it's considered fair game for Facebook. Users must now assume that a message to a business is potentially open to all, just like an unrestricted tweet.
(Here's what WhatsApp itself says about data sharing with Facebook.)
To be fair to Facebook, when WhatsApp — which was founded in 2009 — was bought out by Facebook eight years ago, it was immediately prudent to assume that any and all data in the hands of WhatsApp was also under the control of Facebook. Heck, I give Facebook mountains of brownie points for waiting this long. Eight years is a lifetime for Facebook holding back on a privacy grab. That's like an eight-month-old beagle waiting a week before lunging for a piece of steak that someone dropped under the dining room table.
Enough with the nice talk. The whole point of these messaging apps is to allow people and businesses to communicate privately and securely. Otherwise, why not simply email or text?
This is not merely a consumer issue. It's a business headache in two ways.
One, businesses need to be able to discuss matters with customers, without worrying about Facebook grabbing the data and doing Lord-knows-what with it. Secondly, many business employees will use a messaging app to communicate with each other, somewhere far away from corporate-controlled and messaging from a corporate-owned device. Even worse, they want to be able to discuss sensitive matters with their clients in a place that they believe can't later be made public. It could be as innocuous as not wanting a supervisor to give them a hassle about every sentence they share with a client.
I was quite serious when I said they are pushing their revenue stream into the hands of other messaging apps. If Facebook can't maintain the discipline to properly protect messaging data, maybe it's for the best that they push their clients into the arms of messaging app that will.

I am taking advantage of these last cooler days we are having before the weather gets too hot to enjoy comfort meals such as this delicious Smothered Chicken recipe which I am showing you today.
You might think that as a Diabetic and person who is watching the calories that food such as this would be totally off the menu. This dish today proves that not only can you eat comfort foods when you are watching the calories and carbs, but they can also be delicious as well as nutritious!
Effortless and filled with lovely flavour this is such a simple dish to make and it is bound to become a real family favourite. Who says tasty has to be high in fat, carbs and calories!
This homestyle chicken dish has no fat or oil added to it at all, unless you count the spritz of cooking spray that you use to cook the onion and garlic in at the start.
Soften them and add water.
After that you add boneless, skinless chicken to the pan and allow it to simmer until it is cooked through.
Once it is cooked through you add some chicken stock and continue to simmer it until the chicken is meltingly fork tender.
The gravy is thickend with a flour/water mixture and at the very end you stir in chopped spring onions and parsley for a bit of colour and even more flavour.
Altogether, this is very delicious and nobody will even guess that its actually healthy. It only tastes naughty!
*Smothered Chicken*Serves 6
This delicious chicken dish only tastes high in fat and calories. This is the ultimate in comfort food, but its actually low in fat, calories and carbs. Diabetic friendly. Serve with brown rice if you are diabetic, otherwise it goes very well with mashed potatoes
salt and black pepper to taste
Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally over medium heat until beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic and cook for a minute or so longer. Add the first amount of water and cook for a further five minutes. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper and add to the pan with the onions, garlic and water. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes. Uncover and stir in the chicken broth. Scoop out the chicken breasts and set aside. Shake together the flour and water and whisk this into the chicken broth/etc. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens. Return the chicken to the pan, turning them to coat in the gravy. Cover and cook over low heat for a further 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the spring onions and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as required with salt and black pepper. Serve hot.
As a diabetic I choose to have mine with brown rice. A complex carbohydrate, which is diabetic friendly and low GI. My husband, the meat and potatoes man, enjoys his with mash. And why not. He shouldn't have to pay for my sins. Bon Appetit!

With so many clubs out there, deciding which one to get can be a tough decision. Here are some tips on how to narrow down the selection.
– Decide on your levels for playing
Some play for the weekend game and there are others who'd like to move up in the ranks. If the occasional game is your pace, a low- to mid-performance club can work for you, while a high-performance club is suited to those who'll play more regularly.
– Set a budget
The notion that the more expensive the club, the better it is simply doesn't hold water anymore. If you do enough homework and read reviews you'll find a club that matches your level of interest. Don't be afraid to check out used clubs as they can give you the best chances of getting the club you need at a good price.
Now that you know your interest level and have established a budget, here's a brief run-through of kinds of golf clubs and what each one does.
A typical golfer's bag will have a driver (called 1-wood) and a couple of fairway woods (3- and/or 5-wood). A driver is the longest club (usually 45 inches) making it the toughest to control during a swing.
Irons feature thin clubheads with grooves on it. Experienced players opt for a blade style iron while beginners get a cavity-back style. A blade-style has a clubhead with a full back, whereas a cavity back's clubhead is hollow. It is hollowed out to create a perimeter weighting effect helpful for less-experienced golfers.
Irons are categorized as long (1, 2, 3,4), mid- (5,6,7) and short (8,9). Short irons are the easiest to hit while the long ones are the hardest. The shorter the iron, the more loft there is and for beginners, the more loft, the better.
Putters are the clubs most often used in the game and come in clubhead styles of blade, heel-toe and mallet. Lengths come in belly putters, standard and broomstick (long) putters. Which option to get is a personal choice.
Utility clubs/hybrids
The clubs combine features of woods and irons and are best for beginners who may not want to buy too many clubs straight out.
Finally as a final word before taking them out of the store, most new clubs fit individuals at the average height of 5′10� for men and 5′5� for women. If you are significantly shorter or taller than these figures, you should get your club fitted to your height.
Start off with these considerations to build on your research when choosing your golf clubs. The game becomes that much more fun with the little effort you make now.

By Tyrese Blue
Kong sleeps on the side of a cliff surrounded by a forestry area of Skull Island.
A young deaf girl named Jia (Kaylee Hottle) approaches him with the intention of comforting him and he suddenly throws a large spear mid-air and hits a digital screen, revealing that Kong is being held captive in a large containment facility by the Monarch Organization on Kong Island, which is set up to look like his natural habitat. The reason for his containment is to protect him from Godzilla.
But "Kong bows to no one."
"Godzilla vs. Kong" is considerably director Adam Wingard's biggest film — it's his largest budgeted and highest grossing movie to date. The film is considered to be part of the "Kaiju" genre, a type of Japanese film style that highlights "giant monsters."
Dr. Nathan Lind (Alexander Skarsgard) is sent by the Apex company to help transfer Kong to Antarctica, where there supposedly lies an entrance to his ancestral homeland. However, during Kong's transport by ship, Godzilla emerges from the deep ocean waters and starts attacking the fleet of ships, ultimately taking out the majority of them.
When Kong is finally released, Jia, who we learn is able to communicate with Kong through sign language, encourages him to enter the underground passage. The fleet follows Kong by using Apex aircraft carriers and they all eventually arrive at the center of the hollow Earth, where it seems life is plentiful and other giant animal species exist.
This is where Kong undercovers his origins and presumably finds his new home.
Kong's relationship with Jia goes beyond what's shown in the film. Jia is the last surviving member of the Iwi people, who inhabited Skull Island for thousands of years until a storm wiped them out. She becomes a central character to this particular story since she is the only human Kong is willing to trust and communicate with after he saves her from the devastating storm.
This connection is also an Easter egg since it implies that Jia has psychic senses abilities. She senses Godzilla approaching the transport ship and attempts to warn everyone on board. This ability to communicate and sense the presence of monsters has been seen in the past in "Godzilla" and Kanji films in general. The character Miki Seagusa appears in the Japanese "Godzilla" films and is able to telepathically communicate, sense the location of Godzilla and was a head of the institution for psychic children.
Despite the title of the film implying Godzilla and Kong are both protagonists, Godzilla sees little screen time in comparison to Kong. Godzilla is portrayed as the antagonist from the beginning of the film, destroying the Apex factory and attacking Kong.
However, not everything is what it seems.
Madison (Millie Bobby Brown) points out "there's a reason why he was provoked." This foreshadows that we shouldn't judge Godzilla's intentions so quickly.
Godzilla has both reasonable and selfish motives for attacking both Kong and the Apex company. Killing Kong would ensure his status and dominance as the King of Titans of the surface of the Earth.
He also knows Apex is creating a weapon that poses a threat to him and all Titans. These circumstances lead to the final battle of the film.
And the outcome is exhilarating.
Despite the Apex company and its founder Waler Simmons (Demian Bichir) being perceived as the villains, I believe their intentions aren't all that immoral. Their creation of Mechagodzilla is meant to terminate Godzilla and end all other Titans' reigns so humanity will no longer have to live in fear of the giant monsters. Ultimately, their plans go wrong and their own creation leads to their demise.
The focus of the movie is more on visual pleasure for the audience than an award-winning on screen performance. The captivating and thrilling visual effects and CGI Godzilla and Kong make this film.
The human characters are the vessels that carry the audience through the story of the giant Titans. This is why I don't see much reason in criticizing the actual actors' performances, which were convincing overall. The film also uses some cliches, such as the clever scientists and corrupt, villainous corporation.
Overall, the film is a thrilling pleasure with striking visual effects and an intriguing plot. Although it has some unnecessary cliches and side characters, make no mistake about it: This box office hit lives up to people's expectations.

As Luck Would Have it. William Shakespeare
No one understands luck like a Cubs fan. And there is a lesson there for students in this era of grit.
Grit involves the thinking that through perseverance and resilience you can reach your goals.
To some extent the ability to overcome difficulties and hang in there when the going is tough is good. Helping children with resilience during difficult times, or encouraging them to work hard to accomplish their goals is important.
And a good Cubs fan sticks by the team through thick and thin.
But there are three problems with grit and today's students.
- It isn't grit for children to have to overcome obstacles adults put in their way. Think rundown school facilities, high-stakes testing, and overly strict teaching.
- Today's grit focuses too much on measuring children. There is less attention to a student's feelings. Kids aren't robots.
- Students also need to learn that they may have all the grit in the world but often luck is a big part of whether or not they will reach their goals.
We can help children make sound choices. But we should also let them know, that sometimes you can make all the right choices and life can still suck.
It is also human nature that sometimes we screw up. Most of us know how to get A+'s in mistakes. We should try to avoid them, but when they happen, and they will happen, students need to know how to learn from them and move on.
I was raised with the Cubs always in the background. Tickets were reasonable then, and my dad would sometimes take us to Wrigley Field.
When I visited home as an adult, I got lectured about Sandberg and Sutcliffe, or heard praises about Sosa. If I managed to sneak away from the game on TV, I'd be summoned back when Harry Caray started singing.
In 2003, when a fan snatched the ball deflecting it from the outfielder, possibly ruining the Cubs chances for a National victory, I dreaded calling my Dad.
But he surprisingly said, "Tough break, but stuff happens to the Cubbies. We'll all be back in the spring. That's what we do."
Batters and pitchers, and fans, think to themselves, if only so-and-so would have swung sooner or pitched more to the left, if only they'd been able to catch that ball in the outfield etc. etc.
Certainly, practice and quick thinking can help determine outcomes.
Just like working with students and teaching them how to make good choices is a part of what schooling should be.
But life is fragile. All too often we get no say in whether life's outcome is a rain cloud or a rainbow. Someone in the stands deflects the ball, even if they didn't mean it, when you least expect it.
The trouble with the grit enthusiasts is that they are teaching children that they have too much control in what they do. That they can toughen-up and do what's necessary to succeed.
So when children fail, due to outside circumstances not within their control, they will bear the responsibility. They could unduly blame themselves. They might believe they didn't have enough grit.
Here are some examples of luck superseding grit.
- A budding actress auditions for a part in a play. Hundreds apply. She acts beautifully but doesn't get the part.
- A student is diagnosed with reading disabilities. They can work to overcome their learning problems but the issue will always be there.
- A great young pianist, winner of many awards, applies to Julliard. Hundreds apply and the application is rejected.
- A student gets great grades and SAT scores but is rejected from the college of their choice.
- A student wants to date another student, but the feelings are not mutual.
- A teen makes healthy choices but they are diagnosed with cancer, or some other disease.
- A young person follows all the driving rules but they still get rear-ended.
We can't always predict what lies around the corner. That's what makes life interesting, and for those of us neurotics, a bit frightening.
Luck has a field day with us. And even when luck isn't involved we are fallible human beings with weaknesses.
Students need to accept that and learn not to be afraid of failing, or not being perfect. And they should be able to quit sometimes too.
And whether the Cubbies win the series or not, the fans will still cheer for them next year. In some ways that's what is so endearing about them. It's acceptance—pure and simple.
Still, it is always nice to see a rainbow.

text: A lot of licensed and some cost-free script-driven apps have protected program code, that isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unwanted use of such apps. Among the most popular encryption software tools used for this particular purpose is named Zend Guard and it's widespread because it can be used to alter any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to work effectively on a web server subsequently is when an additional tool called Zend Optimizer is there. In the event that you'd like to use any kind of paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you need to make sure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your site. Furthermore, sites that require the tool will perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it's executed more rapidly.

The Chasemates have found an interesting way to keep the cold at bay. They have resorted to huddling up and bumping bodies.
After Sulu and Annabel's Evictions, as well as Nando's Disqualification on Sunday, the House has become bigger and much colder. The remaining Chasemates, who don't have partners, have decided to band together to form a cold busting, singles sleeping team. Beds were pushed together to form one gigantic bed in the early hours of the morning as soon as the day's activities were wrapped and sleep started knocking.
Dillish then strategically sandwiched herself snugly between Elikem and Melvin, whileCleo also joined the threesome on the far end of the bed. There were lots of giggles and flirting as the gang tried to get used to that many bodies in one bed. Dillish seemed to be enjoying herself the most and suggested that everyone hug each other.
"Let's all hug each other because we're all good friends," the pretty Namibian playfully suggested. When Elikem asked what would happen if he accidentally rolled over Dillish at night, Dillish told him "I would have no problem at all. I would kiss you and Melvin because you are my sweeties," she said, smooching the air dramatically.
Everyone was having a good time until the gang realised Bimp would be sleeping in the other room with the Chase's resident lovebirds, Bengelo and Oneza. "Let's invite Bimp. He's probably lonely in the other room," Cleo said. Dillish then quickly jumped out of bed and found Bimp doing his laundry in the bathroom and extended the invitation. Bimp accepted and just like that, the single Chasemates don't have to contend with cold, lonely nights anymore. Are the Housemates playing with fire though? Could new connections spark up in the middle of the night while these frisky Chasemates attempt to keep each other warm?

The Camera Bag: Light up your photo studio with this Nikon lens "paparazzi lamp"
posted Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 11:38 AM EST
On Monday, we told you about this pepper mill grinder designed like a camera lens, and wondered what lens-shaped product the designers would think of next. Well, we asked and they've answered.
Monoculo Design Studio is offering the DSLR Paparazzi Lamp, an extra large wooden lamp that looks like a 14-24mm f/2.8 Nikkor lens. The lamp, which is designed to be hung from the ceiling, is made from white cedar wood with a water-based varnish and beeswax finish on its exterior.
You can attach this unique lamp to the ceiling via a frame on top with a stainless steel cable and a red wrapped power cord. Our favorite touch: the giant lens hood on the lamp can be removed or reverse mounted.
You can buy the DSLR Paparazzi Lamp here for US$690.

Can our pets share our past lives?
If you have a pet, you know how strong that connection can be between you and your furry friend. But can the link between you and your pet transcend this lifetime? Yes, it can. Your pet may, in fact, have shared a past life with you.
Many people have had the experience of going to adopt a pet and having one particular cat or a puppy seem to already know them. Or what about the person who notices a stray dog or cat hanging around their house or even following them around. These animals sense that they already have formed a bond with the person and they're immediately comfortable in the person's presence.
How can you tell if your pet shares a past life with you?
–You understand instinctively what your pet wants and needs.
–You feel immediately like you've known your pet your entire life.
Want to learn how to recognize -- and trust -- your own messages? Sign up here.
–You feel like you and your pet have a telepathic connection or can carry on a conversation without words.
–Your pet immediately took a liking to you.
–Your pet did something to get your attention when you were pet-shopping. (My own cat tapped on the window at the pet adoption place when I was looking for a cat. She recognized me when I didn't immediately recognize her.)
–You'll have dreams or past life memories about your pet.
–Your pet will have an uncanny way of understanding your feelings and emotions. For example, he or she may sidle up to you when you're feeling particularly blue.
–Your pet will have strong reactions to the people in your life. (Since we often share past lives with those who are in our current lives, our pets likely remember them too. Always pay attention to your pet's reaction to those around you. Not only might they remember the person from a previous lifetime, but pets are very good about following their intuition and trusting it).

The Situation
Polymer blends can be of great interest for processing in textiles and composites since a remarkably broad spectrum of properties can be obtained without having to develop a new polymer.
The blend could even outperform the properties of existing homopolymers or materials with tailored properties could be developed.
The Project
In the Blends4Innovation project, focus was on three combinations:
- PP and PET (tested for clothing and composites),
- PP and PA6 (tested for clothing and composites) and
- PET and PA6 blends (tested only for technical applications).
It was already proven in the previous Cornet project Fibriltex that PP/PET blends are very promising. Therefore, Blends4Innovation further elaborated on this combination. PP multifilaments reinforced with PET microfibrils can be dyed using disperse dyes resulting in deeply dyed filaments being wash- and lightfast.
In general PP/PA6 blends showed to be less promising than PP/PET blends. Presence of PA6 microfibrils inside PP does not lead to an increase in mechanical properties. A decrease in shrinkage compared to neat PP was realised, but the effect was smaller than for blends with PET. Yet, the presence of PA6 in PP can reduce the hydrophobicity of PP filaments. Also, PP/PA6 blends result in dyeable PP filaments, but the obtained lightfastness is lower. PA6 based blends with a small amount of PP, aiming cost reduction, can be processed to multifilaments, but only in the presence of a compatibiliser, which again increases the cost. The knowledge obtained on the processing of PP/PA6 blends is of high interest for the re-processing of recycled waste, since this often contains multiple polymer types.
Finally, also for PET/PA6 blends, it was proven that they can be easily processed to textile filaments, without affecting the mechanical properties. Again, this shows the potential for the easy recycling of plastic waste. Moreover, the addition of PA6 to PET improves the dyeability of PET and might have a positive influence on the wearability. For this blend combination, the full textile processing chain has been evidenced going from filament extrusion, through textile processing (twistingknitting-weaving) and finally to dyeing.
The Benefit
In conclusion, the use of polymer blends can be of interest when improving the properties of yarns and composites and can give valuable insights for the reprocessing of plastic waste. This knowledge has been transferred to the industrial target groups and will be further disseminated. The positive feedbacks and cooperation of the companies during the User Committee meetings already showed the clear interest of companies to evaluate the blend technology in their applications.

The Cunning Art of Thievery
The Goldfinch
Director: John Crowley
Cast: Oakes Fegley, Ansel Elgort, Nicole Kidman, Jeffrey Wright, Luke Wilson, Sarah Paulson, Willa Fitzgerald, Anuerin Barnard, Finn Wolfhard, Luke Kleintank, Denis O'Hare
Irish director John Crowley (Brooklyn) brings to cinematic life Donna Tart's immersive and poignant Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Goldfinch in a sprawling and beautifully acted film version featuring an international cast including Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (The Hours) as Mrs Barbour, a wealthy Park Avenue woman who graciously takes in the young Theo Decker brilliantly played by Oakes Fegley, after his mother is killed in a terrorist attack at New York's famous Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Theo having survived a thoroughly traumatic event, is introduced to the extremely wealthy Barbour family who he stays with while he awaits to hear from his wayward con-artist father Larry played by Luke Wilson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Concussion, 3:10 to Yuma). Larry eventually swoops in with his hard as nails girlfriend Xandra expertly played by Golden Globe winner Sarah Paulson (American Crime Story) to whisk Theo off to the brilliant shiny desert of Nevada away from the old world charm of New York City.
As The Goldfinch expertly weaves multiple story lines into a dazzling picaresque tale, it is more essentially about Theo's friendship with the mysterious antique dealer Hobie beautifully played by Jeffrey Wright (Skyfall).
The Goldfinch is gorgeously photographed in all its blinding contrasts by Oscar winning cinematographer Roger Deakins (Blade Runner: 2049) who adds lustre to a fascinating tale of a boy who inadvertently steals a priceless Dutch painting by 17th century portrait painter Carel Fabritius a budding young student of Rembrandt.
As the actions flits between, New York, Las Vegas and Amsterdam, The Goldfinch is a gripping, fascinating tale of art theft, addiction and loss as the film examines the effects of parental loss on a young boy. Utterly superb viewing. Audiences should watch out for a rather energetic performance by Dunkirk star Anuerin Barnard as the older version of Ukrainian Gothic friend Boris who plays an integral part in achieving his destiny which is inevitably entwined with a rare painting by an early Dutch master. The older version of Theo Decker is adequately played by rising star Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver, Billionaire Boys Club).
Elegant and absorbing, with stunning performances, The Goldfinch is a sophisticated drama about the conflicts between the old and new world and the shadows that lie in between. Those that have read Donna Tartt's brilliant novel will appreciate this gorgeous film adaptation.
Highly recommended viewing, The Goldfinch gets a film rating of 8.5 out of 10.
