LearningpdxRead MoreWhat services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition? My tutoring business is the exception to the competition because I am actually a certified Pre-K-6th grade teacher, as well as a K-12 Reading teacher. I have taught for over a decade and understand the learning struggles that students are facing in the classroom today. Do you provide any materials? What should your students expect to bring? I provide all course materials. Students just need to bring a positive attitude. What was the inspiration to start or run this business? My inspiration for starting Learningpdx was a decade of observing students struggling in school and receiving ineffective or limited remedial services. This bothered me as an educator. I knew that I had the ability to make education a positive experience for all students. What do you love most about your job? There are many things that I love about tutoring. The Ah- Ha! moments when students finally understand a concep,t are the most rewarding part of my job.9316 North Macrum AvenuePortland, OR US

Cloudy urine 9 weeks pregnant!!!
Comments (9)
I've had cloudy pee this pregnancy - only once. I attribute it to my lack of hydration. I can't stomach a belly full of water right now, so the only thing that's been keeping my morning sickness at bay is canada dry ginger ale. I wouldn't be too worried about it if it happened once. Drink more water. And if it's a continual thing, then get it checked out. DEFF not worth an ER trip, but mention it to your doctor at your next appt.
Hope this helps!!!

Why would you be scared? I had that with my last pregnancy and this one as well. I've had my urine checked at dr's appointment, and all is perfect, and baby is fine. Don't worry. You could always call on Monday to double check to ease your mind.
That doesn't sound like anything to be worried about. I would try to drink more water but contact your doc if it keeps happening to ease your mind.
I poop the Skittles
If you have an "uncomfortable" feeling when you urinate and you're urine is cloudy, it's probably the beginning stages of a UTI or bladder infection. If the pain gets worse, I would call your doctor on Monday morning to at least have you come in and get your urine checked. It could be nothing, but if it's a UTI/bladder infection, those can get painful the more time passes. If you do have a UTI/bladder infection, he'll probably prescribe you amoxicillian (which is totally safe for baby) and it'll be gone before you know it!

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons added their first defensive player in the NFL draft with the fifth-round selection of Troy pass rusher Jonathan Massaquoi on Saturday.
Massaquoi, a cousin of Cleveland Browns receiver and former Georgia standout Mohamed Massaquoi, left school after his junior year. In three seasons with Troy, he started 25 games, finishing his career with 19.5 sacks.
The Falcons, who will work under new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan this season, upgraded their secondary Wednesday by trading for cornerback Asante Samuel.
When Atlanta begins its mandatory, three-day mini-camp June 19, Massaquoi will work behind starting ends John Abraham and Ray Edwards and compete for snaps with Kroy Biermann and Lawrence Sidbury.
The only starter not returning from last year's defense is middle linebacker Curtis Lofton, who signed with New Orleans.

So I have an external package I want to install into my python virtualenv in a tar file. What is the best way to install the package?
I've discovered 2 ways that can do it: 1) Extract the tar file, then run 'python setup.py install' inside of the extracted directory. 2) 'pip install packagename.tar.gz' from example # 7 in http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/usage.html#examples
- what I meant to ask is if there is any difference doing them in these 2 ways.
- 'source' meaning source distribution (ie. py-bcrypt.tr.gz)

Our friends over in Microsoft Research recently showcased a project, called PreHeat, which is designed to save energy by automatically controlling a home's thermostat based on predictions of when the occupants will be home. In the U.S. and U.K., home heating uses more energy than any other residential energy expenditure. In the U.S., fewer than half the houses have programmable thermostats, and many of those are used as a manual on/off switches for the furnace.
PreHeat uses occupancy sensors to log when a space (room or whole house) is occupied. The system then runs a new pattern-matching algorithm to predict when the space will be occupied so it can turn on the heat in anticipation of the occupant's arrival. Their experiments found that it often takes about 90 minutes for a house to heat up to the target temperature in the winter.
Part of the project involved custom-built thermostats and occupancy sensors, created from the .NET Gadgeteer hardware at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK. The Gadgeteer components communicated with a server PC in each home, which logged experimental data and ran the prediction algorithm.
The researchers deployed PreHeat in five different houses over the winter for testing. The two U.K. houses featured separate heating controls for each room, while the three U.S. houses used whole-house, forced air furnaces. The experiment compared predictive PreHeat control with a carefully programmed thermostat schedule, alternating days between the two conditions to factor out the effect of weather.
In the U.S. houses, PreHeat used about the same amount of heating gas as the programmable thermostat, but there was a marked improvement in the comfort of the home's occupants, measured by the amount of time the house was too cold while the occupants were there. In the U.K. houses, PreHeat simultaneously increased comfort and saved a significant amount of gas.
The research is continuing with the aim of a more sophisticated anticipatory heating schedule and a UI for adjusting the behavior of the predictive system.
You can learn more about PreHeat over on the MSR project web page: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/preheat/
There's also a paper describing the project which is led by researchers: James Scott, A.J. Bernheim Brush, John Krumm, Brian Meyers, Michael Hazas, Steve Hodges, and Nicholas Villar

- Put the butter, sugar, fruit, zests, juice and 100ml/3½fl oz brandy in a large pan. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring until the butter has melted. Reduce the heat and bubble for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 150C/gas 2/ fan 130C and line a 20cm round cake tin. Toast the nuts in a dry frying pan, tossing them until evenly browned, or in the oven for 8-10 minutes - keep an eye on them as they burn easily. When they are cool, chop roughly. Stir the eggs, nuts and ground almonds into the fruit mixture and mix well. Sift the flour, baking powder and spices into the pan. Stir in gently, until there are no traces of flour left.
- Spoon the mixture into the tin and smooth it down evenly - you will find this is easiest with the back of a metal spoon which has been dipped into boiling water.
- Bake for 45 minutes, then turn down the heat to 140C/gas 1/ fan120C and cook for a further 1-1¼ hours (about a further 1¾ hours if you have a gas oven) until the cake is dark golden in appearance and firm to the touch. Cover the top of the cake with foil if it starts to darken too much. To check the cake is done, insert a fine skewer into the centre - if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked.
- Make holes all over the warm cake with a fine skewer and spoon the extra 4tbsp brandy over the holes until it has all soaked in. Leave the cake to cool in the tin. When it's cold, remove it from the tin, peel off the lining paper, then wrap first in baking parchment and then in foil. The cake will keep in a cupboard for up to three months or you can freeze it for six months.

Comments, questions and tips
This cake is fantastic! I made two - a round one (with sweet pedro ximenez sherry) and a square one (with cherry brandy). I made both of these cakes in October and they were both lovely and moist (and boozy as I fed them a few times!!). I'll definitely be making this again (it's even better than Delia's christmas cake).
Oh my goodness, this went down an absolute treat. This is the first time I've ever made my own Christmas cake although I do bake the usual cakes, muffins and biscuits on a regular basis. Truly delicious, beautifully moist and the macademia nuts added a lovely bite to it. My mum who LOVES Christmas cake was thoroughly impressed. Much better than any shop bought cake I've ever tasted.
I made two of these for the first time at the weekend - one each for mine and my boyfriend's family Christmases. I've never made a Christmas cake before, but it was so easy!
I made one as per the recipe, and one without any nuts to cater for different diets in our families.
I chose this recipe because of its fantastic reviews and the generous glug of cherry brandy, but also because I made a cherry simnel cake from Mary Cadogan's recipe last Easter and it was absolutely divine. If this Christmas cake tastes half as good as that simnel cake, I'll be a very happy bunny indeed!!

CUSEC GIS/IT Working Group Recognized with FEMA Award for Technological Innovation
September 2015 - CUSEC is honored to announce that our Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Information Technology (IT) Working Group is the recipient of the 2015 FEMA Individual and Community Preparedness (ICPD) Award, Technological Innovation category. The award is based on the GIS/IT innovations leading up to and during CAPSTONE-14, a multi-year planning and exercise initiative involving the CUSEC Member and Associate States, the Federal Government, and Private Sector. During CAPSTONE-14, the Working Group created data sharing models and tools for decision makers for situational awareness before and during disasters. These systems have since become national models of excellence and were a test-bed to lay the foundation for future improvements for expanding regional and national shared situational awareness for emergency management and first responders.
The annual ICPD awards program recognizes outstanding efforts of individuals, programs, and organizations throughout the country working to prepare their
communities for emergencies. The winners developed innovative practices and campaigns in 2014 that have made outstanding contributions toward making communities safer,better prepared, and more resilient. According to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, ""Effective emergency management requires commitment, teamwork, and
engagement by the entire community before disasters occur. I congratulate the individuals and organizations that embody these ideals. Through their hard work and dedication, they are making our nation stronger and safer."
CUSEC will join ten other award recipients who will be recognized by FEMA on September 8, 2015 in Washington, D.C. During the recognition ceremony, recipients will share their experiences, success stories, and lessons learned with fellow emergency management leaders. Including CUSEC's GIS/IT Working Group, CUSEC Member State Alabama's Be Ready program also received an award for their "Alabama Be Ready Camp".
We would like to congratulate all award winners and program applicants and recognize their contributions to improving community preparedness. For more information on the 2015 ICPD Awards, please see the official FEMA Press Release.
Iowa, Louisiana, and Nebraska Participating in the Great Central U.S. ShakeOut
August 2015 - With just two months until the 2015 Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills are set to occur, the states of Iowa, Louisiana, and Nebraska are now official participants in the regional effort known as the Great Central U.S. ShakeOut. Schools, businesses, individuals and organizations in communities within these states can now register to participate in the earthquake drill and be counted along with other CUSEC Member and Associate States.
The ShakeOut, scheduled for October 15, 2015 at 10:15 local time, occurs annually on the third Thursday in October, and occurs in states throughout the nation and several countries around the world. ShakeOut participants are encouraged to hold earthquake drills, make plans to be prepared for earthquakes and other disasters, and take action to mitigate against earthquake damage. Nearly 26.5 million people participated in the event in 2014, which is linked with FEMA's America's PrepareAthon! individual and community preparedness campaign.
Registration and information on how to hold an earthquake drill can be found on the ShakeOut website at www.shakeout.org.
CUSEC Receives Investment in GIS from Delta Regional Authority
July 2015 - CUSEC is pleased to announce a recent grant from the Delta Regional Authority, a federal-state partnership created by Congress to help create jobs, build communities, and improve lives through strategic investments in economic development in 252 counties and parishes across eight states.
Through this grant and investment in the region, CUSEC and our Member States will create the first regional Geographical Information System (GIS) in the CUSEC region, as part of our mission to reduce earthquake-related deaths, injuries, property damage and economic losses. GIS is an information system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of spatial or geographical data. With the use of this GIS system, emergency management officials will have the ability to share information and achieve situational awareness across the entire region.
This system will speed States' ability for disaster response and recovery efforts as well as improving overall disaster preparedness from an emergency management perspective. "One of our highest priorities in this region is to ensure that our communities, businesses, and families are ready to bounce back economically from a natural disaster," said Chris Masingill, Federal Co-Chairman of the DRA. "The disaster preparedness and mitigation capabilities that CUSEC and this regional GIS is bringing to Delta states will make our communities more resilient and more competitive for future economic growth.
The regional GIS initiative follows a successful test and implementation of several GIS advancements during the CAPSTONE-14 exercise in 2014. Current GIS improvements are slated to continue through 2016 and 2017. For more information on the Delta Regional Authority, please visit their website at www.dra.gov.

Young men in love; the age old story
It's nice that on a Saturday morning we have time to take the science out of science fiction.
Yup. It looks like just another day at Kona's on Nord Ave.
"Ruining it for everyone" is unlikely to have ever entered Ralph's mind. A very quirky sort of hedonist.
Nice reference to The Archies Rick, although I always detested that song.
I've switched from reusing gift wrap to reusing the Sunday funnies as gift wrap or including with the gift another gift, such as a dish towel used as wrapping.
Cybil's brother Simon came to live with us once, but we didn't measure up. He moved in with the neighbor lady that appreciated his loveliness.

"my family and friends who recieved this card absolutely loved it! the style of the card worked perfectly with the picture of my son eating his box of valentines chocolates. it was a real hit! I love tiny prints paper quality, and that is why i keep coming back for future projects."
"This was the perfect design to pair with a photo we had of our kids in a hot air balloon set-up to create valentines for grandparents and other relatives. The backdrop of the photo was white, so none of the hearts along the side showed up in the final design. I submitted it anyway. The next morning I got an email from a tiny prints designer, saying she'd put a red shadow behind the white hearts and the clouds so that they would show up, and sent a link so that I could review and approve or not. It was perfect! Thanks to tiny prints for tweaking it's design to fit our photo!"
"The Tiny Prints designer was great about altering the template so that my picture worked with the LOVE and the other text. I have gotten lots of good comments back from people who received the card!"
"I used it as a Valentines Day catd with a picture of my family and I. I got so many compliments from friends and family."
"Beautiful card. Excellent card quality. Changed it from a birth announcement to a Thank You card. I kept the black and pink colours and only changed the wording at the very bottom to - our long awaited baby girl. On the back I added another photo and Thank You for your lovely gift with our names. Everyone has commented on how beautiful they are. Really pleased with them and will be keeping one for her memory box."

Quantitative teacher evaluationMore Related Discussions
Hi, My name is Julien, graduate student in policy making and research associate with Funderstanding.com, an educational website whose mission is to inspire and connect people who are passionate about learning. I have a research project to evaluate different ways of measuring teacher performance. My task is to identify the best data to correlate to teacher and student success. I am new to this and interested in all ideas. Some specific questions include: - Sources of data - Effective models - What doesn't work - Etc. In other words, what does it take to be a good teacher? I am writing here hoping that you could share your thoughts with me on teacher evaluation issues, particularly your stance on quantitative evaluation of teachers. What kind of data would you incorporate in the equation? I would greatly appreciate if you could get back to me. You can reach me at 862 266 9552 or email me at email@example.com I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you, Julien

Barbara Palvin on Justin Bieber: We're Just Friends!
Barbara Palvin and Justin Bieber got close in Cannes last week, but the model assured Beliebers today that they have nothing to worry about: she and the Biebs are just friends.
Barbara Palvin and Justin Bieber got close in Cannes last week, but the model assured Beliebers today that they have nothing to worry about: she and the Biebs are just friends.
As fans know well, Selena Gomez's Instagram page is usually a wonderful, magical place where all your dreams of sexy selfies come true.
Yesterday, however, Selena got real on the photo-sharing site proclaiming to all the world that she has zero interest in winning back her ex, Justin Bieber.
Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber have been friends and collaborators for years now, but it seems Weezy isn't as tight with Justin's manager and mentor, Scooter Braun.
Watch Wayne blast Braun (and threaten his life?) in the epic rant caught on tape below:
Can Justin Bieber flirt with every model he comes across while on vacation in France?
Yes, he Cannes!
Justin Bieber made quite the financial impact over the weekend, donating $545,000 to charity during a fundraiser in Cannes.
But the singer also made a musical impact on Saturday, posting a snippet from an upcoming single that many interpret as a jab at Selena Gomez.
When Justin Bieber is in Cannes, he gets his swag on and bangs supermodels. When the Biebs is rumored to be in Italy, his fans go freakin' nuts and storm the gates of a celebrity wedding!
Selena Gomez told a journalist in the country of Nepal that she was in the Himalayan nation seeking "mental peace" and a respite from the American media.
Read: Justin Bieber. She's obviously fleeing the morass that is Justin Bieber and his stranglehold on her mind (and possible additional body parts).
Turns out, Justin Bieber did not head to Cannes last week solely to swag and sleep with Barbara Palvin.
A source confirms to TMZ that the artist made a huge donation to charity at the Annual Cinema Against AIDS Gala last night.

Taking those first tentative steps on the housing ladder can be both stressful and exciting! Although your conveyancing fees can seem like more…
Leaseholds + new builds
Our residential conveyancing solicitors in Bristol and South Gloucestershire have a wealth of experience in helping clients buy new build and leasehold properties.
Buying a new build property
Buying a new build is more complex than that of an existing property.
When purchasing a new build property, you're often expected to exchange contracts within 28 days. If you're selecting your home off plan, this may mean committing to the purchase before the property has been built and without actually having seen the home you're buying.
It's really important to instruct a specialist conveyancing solicitor as soon as your property is reserved. Our experienced new build lawyers will talk you through the house buying process and make you aware of the potential pitfalls of buying new build properties off plan.
We can also advise you on contract terms for exchange, Land Registry requirements and arrangements for checking new builds prior to completion.
Buying a leasehold property
When you buy a leasehold flat, you're actually buying the right to occupy that property for the fixed term of the lease. You don't own the land that your property is built on; this remains within the landlord's ownership.
Despite this, buying a leasehold property is the same as buying a freehold property, with the additional aspects of a lease between you and the landlord.
The lease is a legal contract. It outlines the responsibilities of the landlord to manage, maintain and repair the building structure, common areas and exterior. It also details your obligations as the purchaser, including information relating to payment of ground rent and service charges.
Further information
For a free quote, complete our short form. Our charges are transparent and we quote for all fees and disbursements up front, meaning that you'll understand the full extent of your conveyancing charges from the very start.
Alternatively call us on 0117 325 2929 or complete our online enquiry form.
You can also find a range of helpful factsheets on our downloads page.
A simple guide to buying leasehold
If you're buying a leasehold property, make sure you understand your additional responsibilities as a leaseholder.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will look to prolong winning streaks over Levante and Real Valladolid respectively in La Liga this weekend.
The Bernabeu-based side have won their past four matches against Levante, including 5-1 and 4-2 wins the past two times they have welcomed them to Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti's men need to bounce back after a 2-2 draw with rivals and title challengers Atletico Madrid at their last start but should chalk up a victory on Sunday to preserve their advantage over second-placed Barcelona.
Gerardo Martino's men are one point in arrears of Real, and can maintain the pressure on the leaders if they take all three points from their trip to Valladolid, a side they have beaten eight times in succession.
Barca will go provisionally top of the table should they avoid defeat on Saturday, with Real kicking off 24 hours later.
Atletico Madrid, three points behind Real, are on the road at Celta de Vigo, who have not lost at home in seven matches.
Celta have won four and drawn three at their Estadio de Balaidos venue, meaning Diego Simeone's men have work to do if they are to break down the hosts and end a two-match winless run.
Front-runners for the fourth and final Champions League spot, Athletic Bilbao travel to Valencia on Sunday.
The Basque outfit are hovering in the unusual position of being comfortably fourth, six points clear of fifth-placed Villarreal but some 11 points behind Atletico in third.
The other Sunday fixture sees Almeria, three points above the drop zone, host seventh-placed Sevilla, while on Monday, Osasuna and Malaga go head to head and Real Sociedad - who occupy a Europa League spot in sixth - take on relegation-placed Rayo Vallecano.
Other Saturday clashes see Villarreal on the road at Granada, Real Betis welcoming Getafe and Espanyol hosting Elche.

Annotation support in iBooks
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: Does the iPad eBook app allow for highlighting, marking, and/or adding notes and annotations to books? I haven't seen anything on this. This would make a big difference for me.
- John
A: It is unclear at this time if the iBooks application is going to support any kind of annotation features. Apple has not provided any kind of detail on the features that will be found in the iBooks application, however it's worth noting that the ePUB format itself does not presently support annotations. This doesn't, however, mean that Apple could not add their own proprietary method of handling annotations.
It's also worth noting that it appears the iBooks app will be a separate download from the App Store. This makes it possible for Apple to easily add new features and capabilities to the app through a normal App Store update in the future, rather than requiring a complete iPad OS update.
Lastly, keep in mind that the iPad will support all existing iPhone OS applications, meaning apps such as Stanza, eReader and Amazon's Kindle reader should run on the iPad out of the gate, and we may even see iPad-specific versions of these apps. Some of these applications do provide support for highlighting, marking, notes and annotations, so even if the iBooks app does not provide this capability right away, there are other options available.

This is one of the best lip products I have found. This past winter my lips got in the worst shape they have ever been and nothing was working. I read all of the reviews and decided to try it. I chose the rose and it smells wonderful but the rose type smell can be odd on my lips. It works so wonderfully though that I will order a second to put back.
Love! A++
In the depths of winter, I purchased this in blind hope this natural product would save me from the icy wrath of December. False. It did not. It smells great! But any moisturizing or healing benefits are minimal. It makes a great first layer when wearing lipstick though, and I love how ingredient conscious the product it. Wouldn't repurchase. The container is also a bit of a nightmare to open at times (read: any time there's even a little bit of moisture on your hands...).3
I was really looking forward to this lip butter. I wanted something that would stay on and keep my lips moisturized during the winter months but this isn't it. It made my lips so crackly and I felt like I had to constantly reapply it, which then made my lips more crackly. Not a fan. I'll stick with vaseline next time.2

Parkinson's Disease - Cause
Low levels of dopamine, a brain chemical involved in controlling movement, cause symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Low levels happen when nerve cells in a part of the brain that makes dopamine break down. The exact cause of this breakdown isn't known.
Scientists are looking for links between Parkinson's disease and genetics, aging, toxins in the environment, and free radicals. Although these studies are beginning to provide some answers, experts don't know the exact cause of the disease.

Only a small percentage of people with Parkinson's have a parent, brother, or sister who has the disease. But abnormal genes do seem to be a factor in a few families where early-onset Parkinson's is common.
There are many other causes of parkinsonism, which is a group of symptoms that includes tremor, muscle stiffness, slow movement, and unsteady walking. Parkinsonism mimics Parkinson's disease, but in fact is not Parkinson's disease.

Tony Awards: 2014 Honorees Announced (Exclusive)
The three honorees will be feted at a cocktail reception on June 2 at the Paramount Hotel's Diamond Horseshoe.
The Tony Awards Administration Committee has announced this year's honorees, recognizing individuals, institutions and organizations that have demonstrated extraordinary achievement in theater outside of the established Tony Award categories.
STORY: Veteran Costume Designer Jane Greenwood to Receive Lifetime Achievement Tony Award
The three honorees will be toasted at the Tony Honors Cocktail Party on June 2 at the Paramount Hotel's Diamond Horseshoe. The 2014 Tony Honors will be presented to Joe Benincasa, Joan Marcus and Charlotte Wilcox.
"This year's honorees personify the heartbeat of the Broadway community," said Heather Hitchens, executive director of the American Theatre Wing, and Charlotte St. Martin, executive director of The Broadway League, in a statement. "Their passion, commitment and tireless dedication to the theatre shines through in their work."
Benincasa is president and CEO of The Actors Fund, the national performing arts human services organization, and oversees its programs including comprehensive social and health care services, employment and training, and housing. He is also president of the Actors Fund Housing Development Corporation, which builds affordable, supportive and senior care residences for artists in major urban centers.
STORY: Rosie O'Donnell to Receive Honorary Tony Award
Marcus has photographed almost 300 Broadway shows and hundreds of productions off-Broadway at regional theaters and on national tours over the past 25 years. Previously the house photographer for the Kennedy Center, her work has captured the energy of musicals and plays and appeared all over the city and country.
Wilcox is a seasoned general manager and founder of The Charlotte Wilcox Company. She has given her guidance and leadership to over 100 shows. As an industry leader for over 40 years, her countless credits include this season's Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, as well as Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady, all three Broadway productions of Grease, West Side Story, The Drowsy Chaperone and more. She was also a founding member of the Labor Committee for The Broadway League.

I am an opera lover. As a healthy male, I also love the female breast. So this film should have been nirvana for me. It wasn't bad. But all through the film, I obsessed about how old Joe Green (Giuseppe Verdi) would have reacted had he been able to see it. The musical side is good, not great, but adequately good. But even for Italian opera, the dramatics are overdone. Good lord... Amneris behaved as though she was suffering apoplexy. And I'm not really sure why just about everyone in the film went around topless. (And almost bottomless.) Skin flick meets grand opera. Sopranos reach high notes more easily without bras. Wives devise new tactic to attracting bored husbands to culture. Whatever! It certainly is an unusual approach. But unorthodox as it may be, they have not touched the wonderful, passionate music of the maestro. And, if you also like boobs, well, you get two for the price of one. Two shows that is...
I just happened to tune in to the TV showing of this movie tonight, but
it listed Sophia Loren as Aida, and it really didn't look like her!
Anyways at the end the credits showed Ridderstadt as Aida. By
coincidence I've just bought the Sophia L. version and have yet to view
The Ridderstadt performance is wonderfully natural to put it mildly, I mean, how close can you get to Nature since wardrobe fittings were at a minimum and left much to be desired in the area of adequate costumes for all. Well that's the version they wished to present.
I found it quirky in a way to hear Verdi's triumphal march music played during the procession of camels bringing the victorious army back from battle.
This opera is one of the finest for music, one could hardly ask for more.
The Swedish Director Claes Fellborn has been responsible for two
remarkably fine film versions of Grand Opera; Carmen in 1983 and Aida
in 1987. These are sung in Italian with English subtitles, and both are
hard to find today but provide very worth while viewing for anyone
lucky enough to have the chance of seeing them. The few reviews of
Carmen on this database are very enthusiastic, those for Aida are much
more dubious. Whilst the quality of the music and singing are
recognised, considerable doubts are expressed about the costuming which
shows Aida topless. Some reviews even suggest this is a gimmick
designed to increase the audience by combining the appeal of opera with
that of burlesque. ("Skin flick meets Grand Opera", etc.). I have just
noted that this version of Aida is scheduled for broadcasting on Bravo
TV again nest week, and am sending you these comments to encourage
anyone who is interested to watch this TV transmission of a very fine
film that is not often shown today...
All visual entertainment is based on certain conventions accepted by the audience. Watching puppet theatre we must be prepared to accept the puppets as real characters with whom we can associate. In live theatre we accept both painted sets as reality, and limitations on what can really be portrayed. The cinema is the art form in which such limitations are minimised. A play based on the last voyage of the Titanic would be limited to scenes showing staterooms, restaurants and cabins; with perhaps glimpses of the sea and icebergs through portholes. It might end with the sinking of the ship and the drowning of the principal characters - this would be done by showing them waiting in their cabin until the lights failed, there was a great roar of water, and crashing sounds indicated the furniture and fittings being thrown around. Compare this with the very expensive to stage but very dramatic sequences of the ship sinking in the film "Titanic". We watch a movie and it is so realistic that we can easily believe we are watching real events, even when the film dates from a long past period. Maintaining the reality of this illusion is a vital part of film making. Films like "The Wizard of Oz " or many sci-fi dramas are pure fantasy, but efforts are still made to maintain the same illusion. The same with musicals - people normally board trolley cars without bursting into song but the mood of a musical must be such that we are prepared to suspend disbelief when it happens. This is easier with most popular musicals which are predominantly happy stories than with grand opera. Bursting into song en route to execution or when dying of consumption and fighting for every breath seems intrinsically more unlikely, and this is probably why the appeal of opera is much more limited. Those who stage or film it have to struggle at every turn to make it seem more credible to the audience. Many people say Aida is the pinnacle of Italian tragic opera. But the story dates almost from pre-history and is in fact probably legendary. The ongoing wars between Egypt and Ethiopia extended over a long period but were never historically documented. Our knowledge of life during that period comes more from archaeological relics than from historical records. A visit to a museum, or a look at any book on historical costumes, shows us that at this period slaves wore virtually nothing and everyday people wore very little. The climate was ideal, clothing was not needed for warmth or (except in the case of the army) personal protection. Jewellery was used for adornment and rank or status was not indicated by the richness of robes but by the height of the headgear worn - nobody ever dared wear anything as high as that of the Pharoh. Most people today learn this at school and the reality of the illusion created by performances of Aida is greatly reduced by the use of modern dress - whether western or oriental. Claes Fellborn decided to avoid this trap by costuming his cast in a minimalistic approximation to what was probably worn at the actual period of the story. Some modern viewers have been offended by this. They are fully entitled to their views and will presumably not watch his film, but the rest of us should be able to do so without wanting to indulge in the sort of snide comments to be found in some reviews of Aida on this database.
As to concerns about what Verdi himself would have thought, we must remember that he wrote his operas at a time when their audience was primarily the Royal families and nobles of Europe. He clearly loved the art form and I believe if he had been born in this more democratic age he would have welcomed the increasing interest in opera shown by many ordinary people today. We will never know this - had he been brought up in a different period his character would not have been the same. What we do know is that after he achieved success he became increasingly autocratic and wanted to control every detail of the presentation of his works. Reducing the presentation of a Shakespearean play or a grand opera to the time scale of a modern movie forces the director concerned to take many liberties. Verdi would be unlikely to have approved in detail of the work of Fellborn or any other film director. However he was always very anxious to ensure that his works were only presented in the largest and best equipped opera houses where the spectacles he incorporated in his librettos could be shown to best advantage - I believe that he would have welcomed film versions of his operas where the spectacles are much more impressive than they could be in even the largest opera houses.
This is a filmed on location adaptation of Verdi's famous opera. The writer took some liberties with the original plot, particularly the ending and the addition of several new scenes of cavorting topless slave girls. Aida also spends most of the film topless.
The lyrics are in Italian, of course, with English subtitles. The actors appear to be (badly) lip-synching rather than singing. This makes it sometimes difficult to ascertain exactly which character is singing a part (especially when the camera is focusing on something other than the actor).
Even the colour seemed washed out, though that may have just been the print I saw.
This is one of the most disappointing screen adaptations of Aida that I have ever seen!

A surprisingly soft employment report for September makes the Fed's decision to remain on hold look somewhat prescient, and despite its insistence otherwise, also lowers the odds of its intention to raise rates this year. Stocks rallied on Friday after the employment report and were rallying again on Monday, following upturns in Asia and Europe. This reaction is reminiscent of market behavior earlier in the recovery when bad news was considered good news since it raised the likelihood of additional central bank intervention. This far along, however, the reaction is somewhat surprising since economic growth is what we need most of all.

After leaving market participants guessing at its recent meeting the week before last as to what the Fed will do next, and on what basis it will do it, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen sought to clarify the outlook in a speech at the University of Massachusetts last Thursday. The big headline was her expectation that rates would rise sometime this year, despite having just deferred such a move in light of international economic uncertainty and market volatility.

Despite endless speculation about what the Fed would do at last week's meeting, it came as little surprise that it chose to do nothing. After flagging its concern over falling stock prices in China in the minutes of its July meeting, the Fed made it clear that overseas weakness would play a meaningful role in its decision making process.

Ameriprise Financial Debuts New Brand Platform Encouraging Consumers to "Be Brilliant" – Achieve Financial Confidence in Next Chapter of Life
Back in June, the International Monetary Fund urged the Federal Reserve to delay its first rate hike until 2016, citing the fragile global economy and, in particular, developing economies. Christine Lagarde, its head, reiterated that position at the G20 meeting in early September. Last week, the World Bank delivered the same message. According to the Financial Times, the bank's chief economist warned that a premature rate hike could "wreak havoc" across emerging markets, leading to further destabilizing capital outflows.

Prior to its release last Friday, the August labor report was viewed as being particularly influential, as the last significant data point before the Federal Reserve convenes on September 16 to consider when to raise interest rates. However, despite being generally solid, the report was ambiguous enough that it likely resolved little, and leaves the outcome of next week's meeting as uncertain as before.
The hawkish camp on rates can point to the drop in the unemployment rate to 5.1 percent, the lowest rate in seven years. It can also point to the upward revision of 44,000 new jobs added to the prior two month total, as well as the uptick in average hourly wages. The dove camp, however, can point to the relatively light total of 175,000 new jobs created in August, well below the 250,000 average of the prior three months, even though the August report is historically subject to large upward revisions, averaging 77,000 in the past five years.

Following the steep market decline of the previous week, stocks made two successive attempts to rally on Monday and Tuesday, only to see those rallies reverse and fade. But on Wednesday, the rally not only held, but gathered strength into the close, propelling the S&P 500 to gain 3.9 percent on the day.
Market volatility increased dramatically. The VIX index, which had spiked above 50 last Friday after trading around 14 for an extended period, retreated back to 30 on Wednesday. In early trading on Thursday stocks were up strongly once again, as they were in Asia and Europe, and the VIX has retreated below 25.

The weakness in global equity markets washed ashore in the U.S. and in Japan last week. Already heightened concerns about the pace of economic activity in China were exacerbated by a report that showed manufacturing activity there had slowed more than expected. Both the U.S. and Japanese markets had mostly avoided the downturns that had been underway since April in both emerging markets and the Eurozone (which accelerated since the August 11 yuan devaluation). But that all changed over the last three trading sessions of last week when the S&P 500 fell 6.0 percent while breaking below its 200 day moving average, and the Nikkei lost 5.4 percent.
The pain continued to be felt in emerging markets, as the MSCI EM index dropped another 3.6 percent over the same three day period, leaving it lower on the year by 8.2 percent and bringing the decline from its April peak to 18 percent. And it continued to be felt in the Eurozone, where the Stoxx 50 index dropped 7.1 percent between last Wednesday and Friday, extending its decline since the devaluation to 11.6 percent.
