After lunch we are welcomed to the Hall by Moira and Colleen
smiling whilst taking our money! |
- this is a very busy three quarters of an hour,
Some members paying their subs at the Treasurer's table |
Some members are choosing Library books or perhaps returning them. |
Some members are checking out the Programme Secretary's desk for upcoming workshops. |
This turned out to be a magic table - each time I walked past the contents had magically changed as cakes were bought and members brought more in to replace them. FANTASTIC! |
At 2 o'clock we were brought to order by the Chairperson (Shirls) and after the business meeting - of which more in a later post - we came to the main event.
Our speaker this month was a delightful young textile artist called Serena Partridge - she has lots of talent and a wry sense of humour which was evident in both her talk and her work.
The official title of this talk is Follies of Fashion but she began with a little background information about herself which included the beginnings of her work in miniature ie miniature gardens in Horticultural Shows and also her Art College course which encouraged problem solving both of which skills have served her well in her work.
She took her inspiration originally from a junk shop which sounded like a real old fashioned emporium which had potential to supply inspiration for her lifetime - sadly it burned to the ground and so she turned to a pair of long kid evening gloves as a starting point and the rest as they say is history.
Her minature gloves are characterised by exaggerated long fingers and extremely small exquisite stitches and this exaggeration and quality of stitch is a thread (excuse the pun!) which runs throughout her work.
She has also used wigs, dresses, boots, cakes, stockings and umberellas as starting points: she zips about from century to century but always the finished article makes you either smile or wonder at the detail.
Serena likes to recycle wherever possible, using old materials, lace and trims in her work: her re-use of materials is most evident in her choice of framing materials which are ecelectic but always surprisingly appropriate and usually made by herself - this is where the problem solving comes in most useful.
She completed her talk by showing us some of her residency work done with school children and explained that her current work has returned to gloves but she is investigating the stories behind the gloves and their owners.
I have got to say that this was an excellent talk - a good way to spend Saturday afternoon!!!!!!
Questions were asked of Serena and answered - then we all needed a cup of tea.
Moira and Colleen working hard dispensing tea, coffee and biscuits. |
We enjoyed our drink, had an opportunity to talk to anyone we had missed earlier and had chance to talk to Serena about her work. |
This brings me to the end of the meeting and I think a good time was had by all.
Please watch out for Part 3 which will include Notices, Blow Your Own Trumpet, Name Badges, Scarves for Breast Cancer and how Shirley thinks she is in charge!

Netflix released an first-look behind-the-scenes teaser for Day Shift during Geeked Week. Check it out below and screencaps of Dave in our gallery! The film is scheduled to be released on August 12th. Hope we get a full trailer soon.
In Day Shift, Jamie Foxx stars as a hard working blue collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income: hunting and killing vampires as part of an international Union of vampire hunters.

Amanda Bynes plastic surgery is kind of something dramatic yet relived too. It because so dramatic because the actress may gets the surgery in very young age and she seems got the bad result from it. It also makes us relive when she admitting it although not too clearly enough. So what the reason behind Amanda Bynes plastic surgery? We can say that she got classical reason to get the surgery done. To enhanced her appearance more and makes her prettier. But some said that the young actress got the surgery because something wrong with her. She may get a light mental illness but it enough to influence her to do something's strange. Including to do the surgery when her age is still very young. Amanda Laura Bynes (Thousand Oaks, April 3, 1986) is an actress, comedian and American designer. It was the presenter of a show that bore his name, The Amanda Show, on Nickelodeon. After appearing in several Nickelodeon show from the mid-nineties and the beginning of 2000, in 2002, Bynes gets the role of co-star of the sitcom What I Like About You; later, Amanda has also appeared in several films aimed at an audience of teenagers including Hairspray – Hairspray and She's the Man.
Amanda Bynes Nose Job Plastic Surgery
The most spotlighted plastic surgery procedure that can be seen from her before and after picture is nose job. Amanda Bynes self says yes with the nose job speculation that was accused to her. She may get the Procedure in California around 2006. It because at that time people started to notice the changing looks in her nasal area. It seems that started from then she got the surgery done for the nose job enhancement done. From before and after picture we can see that her nose is getting smaller and thinner right now. She used to have bit bigger and bulbous nose as you can see it in her before and after picture. But since 2010, her nose looks thinner and pointed than before. It also looks smaller with too pointed tip that makes her face bit weirder too. At first the plastic surgery seems working well on her. But due something happen on her mental, Amanda Baynes may repeat the nose jo9b again. And unfortunately, the nose job seems working wrong on her.

Deficit and debt debacle continues to drag on our economy
Posted By RichC on November 21, 2011
The financial markets responded negatively Monday morning to the general conclusion that neither Europe or the U.S. can come to agreements over out of control spending. The congressional super committee charged with coming up with a solution telegraphed failure this weekend as neither Democrats or Republicans seem interested in compromising their positions. I ask you, why do we continue to fund a disfunctional government and send the same people to govern when they do little to create an environment that will help our economy? A rhetorical question when the split politics of America send two opposing groups of representatives to Washington DC. One motivated group, Republican conservatives, demand "less government control and a shrinking federal budget" and the other, progressive or liberal Democrats expect "more government than we have now and even more federal control." It is disappointing for our economy and struggling Americans that neither side sees the financial health of our country as in their political interest. Shameful.
EDIT: Although I'm not in the Gov Rick Perry campaign camp, I am frustrated enough with congress and the lack of leadership from the Whitehouse to agree with his comments …

Social Media sometimes feels like that devil that's a necessary evil in your business. It's critical, and yet time-consuming, stressful, and there's generally a pretty wicked learning curve.
Bad social media is bad for business, bottom line. It will hurt your brand and customer loyalty.
So what can you do to outsource your company's social media successfully and what's important to look for? In my experience, the following are important. Your employees must…
- Be familiar with social media platforms
- Be willing to test and master new social media tools
- Be aware of what's hot in the SM industry
- Understand FCC disclosure laws
- Produce content in a variety of different formats
- Have the speaking skills and smarts to represent your brand on SM
So who shouldn't be touching your brand?
People that don't know how to filter themselves online make poor brand stewards–I think it's worth your time in the hiring process to look at the people who'll be representing you and check out their personal social media accounts.
Are they bad-mouthing competitors? If this isn't within your brand ethics, then steer clear of these types.
Someone who cannot communicate clearly would also not be a good fit for handling your social media.
Remember – these days your business gets more exposure through SM than through almost any other form of publicity. Most of your potential clients will get their first experience of your brand from social media. Be picky about how and to whom you outsource this aspect of your business.
Happy Outsourcing!

The discount that Carnival Cruise Lines is offering throughout May is not just for members of the military. In fact, the discount is available to active and former military personnel as well as any family members of the military. Even friends of active or former military personnel can receive discounts throughout the month of May.
Reservations must be made between May 1st and May 31st to receive this discount, but that does not mean the ship has to sail between those dates.
The rates start at just $299 per person for three to five day cruises. 6 day cruises are starting at $334, and 7-8 day cruises are starting at just $534 per person.
Most of these cruise listings sail to the Bahamas, Caribbean, and Mexico, but there is also a 12 day European cruise that starts at $949 per person, and they usually leave from the port in Barcelona, Spain.
Military personnel have to show proof of military service when booking and they must also sail on the ship in order for the discounts to be applied. In other words, a former military service member cannot buy his brother a cruise ticket and then not sail on the ship.
This Memorial Day discount to the military is Carnival's way of thanking the U.S. military for their service.
You can find more details about this discount at their site at carnival.com.

It wasn't quite perfect, but what St. John-Beloit did at the Kansas class 1A state championships Saturday in Wamego was pretty dominant.
Senior David Lutgen led a parade of St. John-Beloit runners to the finish, winning the individual title in 16:22.3 then turning to watch three teammates finish in the top 8 for a team score of 19. St. John-Hudson placed second with 44 points, followed by Wallace County at 53.
Lutgen and mates had entered the 1A meet with an outside shot at sweeping the top four spots, which in class 1A, would be a perfect team score of 10. But the field of runners had other thoughts as Brodric Shirley of Frankfort finished second in 17:02.2, Collin Oswalt of Central Christian was third at 17:05.7, and Trevor Fischer of Trego County was fourth in 17:08.2.
St. John-Beloit came pouring in soon after that, however. Freshman Caleb Eiler was fifth in 17:22.8, senior Adam Bates was sixth in 17:32.2, and sophomore Brandon Bates was eighth at 17:39.5.
A perfect score is not a realistic expectation, especially at a state championship meet, but it certainly did lend intrigue to the class 1A boys race.
St. John-Beloit successfully defended the class 1A title that they won a year ago. St. John-Hudson was the class 2A state champion last year, but will settle for second place in 1A this year. St. John-Hudson was led by sophomore AJ Miller, who placed tenth in 17:47.6.
In the girls' 1A race, Sylvan-Lucas sophomore Autumn Princ won her fourth state title -- second consecutive in cross country -- in a time of 18:37.1. She won by 1:43 over runner-up Robyn Selzer of Wallace County (20:10.0). Paige Harris of Ashland was third in 20:53.6.
Princ is now halfway to becoming a four-time state cross country champion in Kansas. Only five girls ever have accomplished that feat, and so far she has not been challenged at the state meet. She also won the 1600 and 3200 meter state titles in track and field last spring.
Greeley County won the girls' team title in class 1A with 34 points. They avoided the chaos for second and third that took place between Ingalls and Wallace County -- which tied with 53 points. Ingalls got the runner-up trophy based on a fifth-runner tiebreaker.

From a Japanese innovation awards came a music bottle, a device for capturing and remixing sounds by DJ/Inventor Jun Fujiwara.
Coca Cola
Remix Bottle
Video & multi-media
This clever invention came to the attention of Coca-Cola, who asked him to re-create his device inside an iconic Coca-Cola bottle and Strategy was commissioned to make a viral film of the bottle in action around Tokyo.
Strategy sourced locations, from city streets to a candy factory, to gather sounds and play them back. They documented this social music project that captured sounds and remixed them into shareable music tracks. The entire look and feel of the video was developed by Strategy.
The project was well aligned with Coca-Cola's 'Open Happiness' message, giving the familiar "pssstt" sound of opening a bottle of Coke a new twist. The resulting video went viral, with more than 100,000 views across the range of videos. Ring tones were also released as part of the project.

Not for everyone, it is Tarantino (have to say I am a fan) after all, but, even with mixed reviews about his treatment of the subject matter, there's no denying the brilliant soundtrack and some excellent performances.

Category Co-captain: Vitamins and Supplements: US Nutrition
As a leader in the vitamin and supplement categories, US Nutrition works to provide deep consumer insights and continual product innovation. The company brings in sales of more than $768 million annually, and is a category captain or maintains key relationships with leading retailers such as Kroger, Meijer, H-E-B, Publix, Wakefern Food Corp., A&P, Price Chopper, Winn-Dixie, Giant Eagle and Ahold USA.
US Nutrition markets more than 2,000 products under several brand names, and also produces private label products for numerous retail partners.
Over the past year, the company has focused on several key areas of the business, including the joint care category, which has been under pressure from consumers' leaving the segment and becoming less engaged. After identifying these trends, the Osteo Bi-Flex brand introduced a convenient "One-Per-Day" tablet option as an entry point. This innovation was highly successful, with 68 percent of sales incremental to the segment.
Meanwhile, several new products were added to the Nature's Bounty brand, including a higher-dose melatonin product for improved sleep, higher-strength and multi-strained probiotics for improved digestion, and a one-per-day, enteric-coated burpless option in the booming heart health segment.
Innovation continued within the sports nutrition category as well, with the Pure Protein brand launching resealable packaging for its protein drink.
US Nutrition has seen double-digit growth at a major grocery chain over the past year by focusing on specific initiatives to build the category in its aisle and throughout the whole store. At a regional chain, the vitamin category has grown three times the rate of the competitive marketplace, with overall market share up nearly a full share point.

A policeman is on scene at a terrible accident - body parts everywhere. He is making his notes of where the pieces are and comes across a head.He writes in his notebook: "Head on bullevard", and scratches out his spelling error.
"Head on bouelevard". Nope, doesn't look right - scratch scratch.
"Head on boolevard..." dang it! Scratch scratch.
He looks around and sees that no one is looking at him as he kicks the head. "Head on curb."

"The inventor of pantyhose really left us quite a legacy."
A judge was interviewing a wom...
A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?"She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by."
"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?"
"It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded.
"I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?"
"I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents."
He said, "Do you have a real grudge?"
"No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one."
"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"
"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes."
"Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?"
"Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do."
Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a divorce?"
"Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I've never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He said he can't communicate with me!"
The dorm rules
On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students, pointing out some of the rules:
"The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time."
He continued, "Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?"
At this point, a male student in the crowd inquired: "How much for a season pass?"
Bush vs. Osama
Bush and Osama decided to settle the war once and for all. They sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with one dogfight. They would have 5 years to breed the best fighting dog in the world and whichever side's dog won would be entitled to dominate the world.Osama found the biggest, meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and bred them with the meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from the litter, and removed his siblings, which gave him all the milk. After 5 years, they came up with the biggest, meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were 5 " thick and nobody could get near it.
When the day came for the dog fight, Bush showed up with a strange looking animal. It was a 9 foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for Bush because there was no way that this dog could possibly last 10 seconds with the Afghanistani dog. When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of it's cage, and slowly waddled over towards Osama's dog. Osama's dog snarled and leaped out of its cage and charged the American Dachshund---but when it got close enough to bite, the Dachshund opened its mouth and consumed Osama's dog in one bite. There was nothing left of his dog at all.
Osama came up to Bush, shaking his head in disbelief, "We don't understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for 5 years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and the biggest, meanest Siberian wolves."
"That's nothing,", said Bush. "We had Michael Jackson's plastic surgeons working for 5 years to make that alligator look like a weenie dog."
Model Nun
Sister Margaret was a model nun all of her life, until she was called to get her just rewards. As she approached the pearly gates, Saint Peter said "Hold on, Sister Margaret...not so fast!""But I have been good all my life and dedicated to the work of the Lord. From the time I was taken in as an infant by the sisters at the convent to my dying breath... I have lived for this moment!" Sister Margaret exclaimed in disbelief.
"That is precisely the problem," replied St. Peter, "...you never learned right from wrong and to get into heaven, you must know the difference between right and wrong".
"Well, what can I do? I will do anything to get into heaven!" Sister Margaret pleaded.
"I am going to have to send you back down to Earth. When you get there, I want you to smoke a cigarette and call me when you are finished. We will discuss your situation then." ordered St. Peter.
Sister Margaret returned to Earth, smoked a Camel, and then immediately called St. Peter, coughing and hacking. "Saint Peter" she gasped, "I can hardly breathe, my mouth tastes terrible, my breath stinks, I feel dizzy, and I think I am going to throw up".
"Good!" replied the old saint, "Now you are finally getting a feel for right and wrong. Now go out tonight and drink some hard liquor and call me back when you are ready."
Sister Margaret phoned St. Peter immediately after taking several belts of Jack Daniels.
"Saint Peter, I feel woozy... that vile liquid burned my throat and nauseated me...it is all I can do to keep it down."
"Good...good! Now you are starting to see the difference between right and wrong," said St. Peter with delight.
"Tomorrow I want you to seek out a man and know him in the Biblical sense, and then call me."
A week passed before Sister Margaret called St. Peter and left a message:
"Yo, Pete...it's Peggy...It's gonna be a while!"

He described a typical day this way: 'Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded along the edge of a lake, drank eight beers, escaped from wild dogs in the heavy brush, jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake, marched up and down several rocky hills, stood in a patch of poison ivy, crawled out of quicksand and took four leaks behind big trees.' Inspired by the story, the doctor said, 'You must be one hell of an outdoors man!' 'NAH,' he replied, 'I'm just a shitty golfer.'
A big girl came up to me
A big girl came up to me after a show and said, "I think you're fatist." I said, "No, no. I think you're fattest."
Jimmy Carr (September 15 1972-)

A lady walks into the drug sto...
A lady walks into the drug store and asks the druggist for some arsenic.The druggist asks, "Ma'am, what do you want with arsenic?"
The lady says, "To kill my husband."
"I can't sell you any for that reason," says the druggist.
The lady then reaches into her purse and pulls out a photo of a man and a woman in a compromising position, the man is her husband and the lady is the druggist's wife, and shows it to the druggist.
He looks at the photo and says, "Oh I didn't know you had a prescription!"
The shipwrecked mariner
The shipwrecked mariner had spent several years on a deserted island. Then one morning he was thrilled to see a ship offshore and a smaller vessel pulling out toward him.When the boat grounded on the beach, the officer in charge handed the marooned sailor a bundle of newspapers and told him, "The captain said to read through these and let us know if you still want to be rescued."

Our man over there, Mccready gives us his take on the GP in Uddevella. Go Osborne!
Our man over there, Mccready gives us his take on the GP in Uddevella. Go Osborne!
Swedish GP
Frossard and Roczen Dominate, Cairoli gets the Red Plate
By Jonathan Mccready

Ken Roczen dominated the Swedish GP to firmly reinstate himself as the top MX2 rider in the World. After a few crashes Roczen has adopted a smoother and more controlled approach to the races in a bid to keep his teammate Jeffrey Herlings at bay, and, it's working. It also must be said that the last few rounds have been hardpack and it isn't Herlings' forte, while Roczen has grown up riding hard pack in Germany. In saying that the race is there to be won and Roczen was imperious, looking every bit the the 2011 MX2 World Champion he wants so badly to be. Before heading to American in 2012.
Ken Holeshot both races and slowly but surely checked out, looking very smooth and in control on the slippery track. Roczen admitting he has adopted a smoother style after his crashes, and it is working better than he probably imagined. Herlings was left in his wake and despite a consistent second overall with a 3-2 score, he struggled to stay on the pace with Roczen in moto two when they got out front together. Usually Herlings can stay on Roczen's pace and try to force him into a mistake, but in Sweden he had no answer and in his post race interview, hearkened back to his mentality earlier in the season of just trying top beat Tommy Searle for second in the series – not the mentality Stefan Everts would like to here.
Kenny Roczen is the man right now, after a little lull for a couple of races, he's got the red plate back and is looking good. |
Mentally Herlings does not appear to have the same level of self confidence as Roczen and maybe being only sixteen and having a years less experience is hurting him. Sometime you feel Herlings is beaten before he starts, but he does give it his all in the races. With Ken Roczen style self befief Herlings could still challenge for this title, but with the next round in Germany, Roczen's back yard and the place he won his first GP at fifteen, it will be even harder for Herlings to feel like he can beat his German nemesis this weekend.
Third place overall was Gautier Paulin, the Frenchman is getting faster and faster every week, and on the right track he could challenge Roczen for a win. Paulin hasn't been off the podium in the last five rounds and is now only ten points behind Tommy Searle for third in the Championship. Recent go faster parts from Yamaha have helped Paulin get off to better starts and the more he runs with Roczen and Herlings the more he will believe he can beat them.
Tommy Searle had a nightmare day. A bad start and two crashes in race one left him with a damaged bike and a DNF. He came back in race two for fourth, but by the time he got there the leading three riders where long gone. Searle is going to have to fight hard in the next two races to fend off Gautier Paulin who is rapidly closing the gap on his third place.
Max Anstie maybe had his the best GP of his career so far. After being unable to finish the previous GP in Spain due to a big crash in practice, Anstie nailed two top three starts and rode well for a fourth and fifth place in the motos. This was the type of performance that many expected from the Englishman from the start of the year.
Christophe Charlier is getting better and better as the season goes on. The 2009 European Championship rode well to fifth overall and just needs some good starts to learn the pace of the front men.
KTM's "Other" guy Van Horebeck made his return to the team this weekend and had some good results. |
It was the first race of the season where all the top MX2 riders where actually racing, and Sweden welcomed back the third member of the Factory KTM team Jeremy Van Horebeck. The stylish Belgian came from a bad start to fifth in race one and from dead last to ninth in race two. Van Horebeck is fast and with good starts he could get amongst the podium contenders. It was also welcome back to Factory Suzuki rider Valentin Teillet, and two top ten rides would have pleased the fast Frenchman on his return.
America didn't have the best weekend in GP's on independence weekend. Zach Osborne had a top five start in race one but crashed on the first lap and had to fight his way back through to eleventh. A top ten start in race two was promising but Zach just didn't have the pace of the factory riders or his teammate on this slick track as he struggled to tenth place. Zach is in the middle of 14 straight weekends of racing and it appears it may be taking it's toll. Osborne is a fighter and he will come back with all guns firing in Germany, but with the class back to full strength and everybody riding well, Zach needs a good start to find his way back to the podium.
Michael Lieb was thirteenth in race one and had a DNF in race two due to a bike problem. But the American admitted it is more difficult getting on the pace of the GP regulars than he expected after his injury lay off.
MX2 O/A: 1. Roczen 50pts, 2. Herlings 42pts, 3. Paulin 42pts, 4. Anstie 34pts, 5. Charlier 28pts, 6. Tonus 28pts, 7. Van Horebeek 27pts, 8. Aubin 27pts, 9. Osborne 21pts, 10. Teillet 20pts, 11. Searle 18pts, 12. Kullas 15
MX2 Championship points: 1. Roczen 351pts, 2. Herlings 337pts, 3. Searle 286pts, 4. Paulin 276pts, 5. Osborne 234pts, 6. Tonus 225pts, 7. Anstie 201pts, 8. Kullas 179pts, 9. Aubin 178pts, 10. Roelants 168pts
The MX1 category was drama filled before they even got to Sweden. Championship leader Clement Desalle dislocated his shoulder while racing his National Championship series in Belgium. Desalle arrived in Sweden not knowing whether he would be able to ride or not, and with only one point separating him and Cairoli he could see his championship hopes going down the drain.
But, the tough Belgian did ride and despite a crash in his qualifying heat on Saturday that left his with more bumps and bruises, Desalle rode with the heart of a champion on Sunday to come away with an eighth and seventh placing, minimising the damage in the Championship, and keeping his title chances very much alive. But with two races in the next two weekends how quickly can Desalle recover and challenge for wins?
Antonio Cairoli was probably licking his lips coming to Sweden. The Italian loves the track and with Desalle injured, it was looking like Cairoli would come away with a big points lead. But on the opening lap of race one, things went wrong. Cairoli lost the front under braking while in second and was hit by a few riders before he was able to remount in last position. As usual Cairoli went to work and stormed through the field to take an incredible fifth place on a hard to pass track with many quality riders. It was the sort of ride that has made the Italian into the living legend that he is.
Frenchman Frossard has caught fire lately and starting to get back to his early season form. |
A second place in race two gave Cairoli third overall and more importantly the red plate for the first time all season.
Throwing himself right back into championship contention was Steven Frossard. The Rinaldi yamaha pilot was pretty much unbeatable in Sweden. He shadowed race leader Evgeny Bobreyshev in race one before wearing him down and passing him with three laps to go for the win. In race two Frossard holeshot and won by six seconds over |Cairoli. Still dealing with stretched ligaments in his thumb Frossard was hugely impressive and is only twenty two points behind Championship leader Antonio Cairoli. There is a three way fight for the title in 2011 and right now any of them could win it.
Evgeny Bobreyshev is impressing more and more in 2011. The Russian scored his best GP result of his career and lead the majority of race one before Frossard took the lead. In race two 'Bobby' came from way back to pass an impressive list of riders including Steven Ramon and Ken De Dycker to haul himself into fourth place and hang onto second overall in the GP. It was a great result for the Martin Honda team who have really turned things around this season after a few disappointing years in GPs results wise. The full factory Honda backing isn't hurting and it is rumoured Bobreyshev has already re- signed for 2012, and if his rapid improvement continues he could be a top three or even championship contender next season.
The big Russian nightmare is starting to come into his own this season. |
Belgian riders Ken De Dycker and Steve Ramon also rode well, Ramon came from two bad starts to use his smooth style to great effect for fifth overall. While De Dycker came from way back in race one to fourth and despite tiring in race two still finished sixth for fourth overall. Xavier Boog made it two Frenchman in the top three in race one, with his best moto result of his MX1 career, but a crash in race two held him back to eleventh and sixth overall.

Depending on who you're playing against, Super Mario Bros. 35 doesn't always feel as adrenaline-fuelled as certain other battle royales. But this look at some skilled survivalists shows just how intense its late game can get.
Whenever you kill an enemy in Super Mario Bros. 35 the game send it to the screen of one of the people you're playing against. Early on that means a few extra goombas here and the occasional rogue koopa paratroopa there. The deeper you get into a match, though, the more fallen foes there are flying back and forth between screens. In a recent clip shared online by Japanese YouTuber inazuma0217tai1 and spotted by Nintendo Life, this arms race resulted in dozens of Lakitus floating around and dropping spinies en masse:
お納めください pic.twitter.com/dUt3nrYUho— あめみや たいよう (@inazuma0217tai1) October 5, 2020
When the clip begins there are still 11 players left but events are already getting out of hand. By the time it ends, two minutes later, inazuma0217tai1, who is a professional Puyo Puyo player, is one of only two players left standing, literally, because he has nowhere else to go. Trapped on one of the green pipes near the end of level 1-1, he eventually gets cornered and overrun by spinies. It's some real Boromir shit.
So far all of my Super Mario Bros. 35 matches have ended because of a silly mistake or mistimed jump. Even ones where I'm one of a handful of people left standing at the end are usually exercises in staying focused and patient rather than heated showdowns with other strangers online as they face down armies of Bowser's minions. Inazuma0217tai1's clip is proof of just how much more exciting competitive Super Mario Bros. 35 can be with skilled players at the helm.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — 1 November 2019 — Experts involved in chemical emergency response learned how to identify chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and use individual protective equipment during the eleventh Swiss Laboratory Course on chemical weapons protection in Spiez, Switzerland from 28 October – 1 November.
The course comprised the second part of a training cycle for first responders offered by Swiss government to OPCW Member States and was organised by the Swiss Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) Defense School and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
In his opening remarks, Commander of the Engineering, Rescue and NBC Training Unit, Brigadier-General Stefan Christen, underlined Switzerland's commitment to capacity building: "Switzerland provides training for experts who are associated with chemical weapons protection efforts respective home countries to establish and maintain a chemical weapons protection and analysis capability".
OPCW Programme Officer in the Assistance and Protection Branch, Mr Babatunde Olowookere, further noted: "Timely and efficient sampling and analysis cannot be underestimated and the skills and knowledge participants acquire in this training are essential for chemical warfare protection capability".
Participants attending the course came from Azerbaïdjan, Cuba, Ghana, Nepal, Nigeria, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe.
The Swiss Laboratory Course falls under the OPCW's Assistance and Protection Training Cycles and is related to the offer made by Switzerland, under article X of the Convention, to provide assistance and protection against chemical weapons. The full training cycle consists of the Swiss Basic, Laboratory, Advanced, and Field Exercise courses.
As the implementing body for the Chemical Weapons Convention, the OPCW, with its 193 Member States, oversees the global endeavour to permanently eliminate chemical weapons. Since the Convention's entry into force in 1997, it is the most successful disarmament treaty eliminating an entire class of weapons of mass destruction.
Over 97% of all chemical weapon stockpiles declared by possessor States have been destroyed under OPCW verification. For its extensive efforts in eliminating chemical weapons, the OPCW received the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize.

Temple-Cities are the permanent settlements of the Seraphon that have coalesced into their respective realms. These cities were created upon the landing of the temple-fleets, whereupon these cities serve as bases from which the Slann Starmasters may guard the Astromatrix.[1b]
Temple-cities are founded upon the landing of the Seraphon temple-fleets. The Seraphon who reside in these permanent Seraphon settlements will coalesce with realm upon which the temple-city is founded. Eventually becoming true creatures of the realms, they gain physical permanence, opposite in nature to their daemonic nemeses.[1b]
When the temple-fleet lands, the slann will utilize their ability to manipulate spatial laws to hide the most essential treasures and resources of the Seraphon: a majority of their great engines, spawning pools, and secret vaults that include the greatest treasures of the Old Ones. By phasing these essential resources and treasure into the ground, hollowing out subterranean caverns below the streets of the temple-city, are they kept hidden from prying eyes. The displaced subterranean earth is then hurled into the cosmos, forming burning meteors that herald the temple-city's foundation as falling stars.[1b]
Temple-cities, like Realmshaper Engines, are estbalished atop critical nodes in the Astromatrix, on the invisible ley lines only visible beneath the light of Sigendil. The Realmshaper Engines play a crucial role in establishing these strongholds as they are responsbile for creating the environment, in line with the Great Plan, in which Seraphon society thrives.[1b]
City Planning
Even if thousands of miles apart, it is not uncommon for multiple temple-cities to be created from vessels of the same temple-fleet as the greatest of temple-ships can break down into smaller ships. They may even self-replicate through the strange artiface of the Old Ones and unfold like golden puzzle boxes. Although no two temple-cities are identical, they are all carefully aligned to channel the energies of the Astromatrix[1b], which sits along the hidden ley lines within and between the realms.[1a] Each stepped ziggurat within the temple-city will be connected by these ley lines of power, surrounded by obelisks, glyph-marked pylons and other devices that draw upon the raw energies of the realms and the cosmos. Akin to great superconductors, these structures within the temple-city control the flow of magic and are utilised in the powering of the arcane technology within and feeding into the star-rituals of the Seraphon.[1b]
At the heart of each temple-city sits the grant temple, that juts towards the heavens, where the Slann Starmasters contemplate the cosmos and communicate with their brethren within the Star Chambers of the highest ziggurats. Towards the outskirts of the temple-city are typically located the spawning pools of the skinks. However, the birthing-pools and barracks of the saurus are deep below they heart of the city. Throughout the temple-cities are translocation gateways, which are miniature and localised Realmgates constructed through the arcane knowledge of the slann. With these constructs, the saurus can be quickly deployed throughout the Seraphon territory upon the clarion call to war.[1b]
While not all buildings within the vast conurbations temple-cities contribute to the furtherance of the Great Plan, all contribute in some way to Seraphon society. The suburbs of the labour force are formed of large ranks of skink barrios, where they dwell and live lives of productivity and worship. Skink overseers can be found chirruping directions to lumbering Kroxigors who obediently stack celestite blocks to reinforce damaged structures. Aside from tending to the temples, skink work-gangs will plot roads and repair fortifications, cultivate foodstuffs in the temple-city's great refectory domes and ziggurats and ensure the magically potent sigils carved into each golden stele or obelisk remain so. Though the skinks may seem dispassionate to outsiders, they possess a refined sense of aesthetic. The greatest of their artisans will labour to construct towering statues of the Old Ones, create elaborate mosaics depicting cosmological conjunctions or the mythic cycles of the Seraphon.[1b]
Prior to the temple-fleet's landing, the Realmshaper Engine morphs areas of the material plane in line with the interpretation of the Great Plan. Having been charged with celestial energy, the the orbs atop ziggurats glow bright before unleashing waves of terraforming power. Thick jungles sprout from the rockiest ground and bubbling swamps form from barren dust, while creeping vines and venomous plants overtake the ruins of ancient civilisations. A side effect of the Realmshaper Engine drawing upon the Astromatrix is that the jungled formed by the engines come to reflect the essential qualities of their home realm. For example, Aqshian temple-cities are often surrounded by particularly sweltering forests, whereas those of the Shyish, the realm of death, are often withered and emaciated. Meanwhile, the type of jungles that may form within Ghur are best left unconsidered.[1b]
The sweltering environment quickly attracts a variety of reptilian life. This includes hosts of serpents slithering through undergrowth, warbeasts of the Seraphon that live and hunt amidst the dense trees. The slann permit these lifeforms to take residence partially so that they form as a natural barrier against meddlers from other races, whether they intrude intentionally or not. The buzzing tropical insects attracted to the sweltering head also provide plenty for the slann to snack on when not in deep contemplation.[1b]

2017 is almost over — so here's a chance to stroll down a memory lane that isn't lined with Donald Trump news. Eater has covered no shortage of scandals, chef shuffles, closures, and almost endless openings. Right here are the ones that drew in the most eyeballs, in ascending order. Onward to 2018.
10. New Bar Riverside Lands In St-Henri By The Canal (Not The River)
Interestingly, this story was nothing huge — just a perfunctory announcement of a bar opening in St-Henri. Yet Riverside's large outdoor space, wedged up against the post-industrial decay of the Canada Malting Silos, piqued reader interest more than any other bar this year.
9. NDG is Getting a Double Whammy of New Restos With Porco and Hopkins
Perhaps due to the higher concentration of anglophones, news about NDG is typically popular on Eater — and this story, announcing two new restaurants (the fancier Hopkins, and casual eatery Porco), grabbed ample attention.
8. NDG's Prohibition is Unexpectedly and Permanently Closed
Closures like Hôtel Herman and Libertine Bakehouse might have been declared the saddest of the year, yet many also came to mourn NDG neighbourhood spot Prohibition, after co-owners Matthew Rouleau and Stephanie Russell called it quits in May.
7. La Queue de Cheval Gets in a Beef With TV Host Over Lunch Disaster
This story was low-stakes but high-drama: a conference for prominent social media folks threw a VIP lunch at fancy steakhouse La Queue de Cheval. The lunch was a mess, so Breakfast Television host Catherine Verdon-Diamond criticized the restaurant on Facebook — and drew a bizarre response.
6. Agrikol Owner Encourages Energy Drink Boycott Over Sexual Assault Claims
A controversy in Montreal's music scene over a promoter accused of sexual assault spread to the restaurant world when it turned out that the man being accused, Patrick Mocan, owned a local energy drink company, Prime Mate. A call for restaurants and bars to boycott the beverage ensued.
5. Lockhart is Coming and It's Definitely Not a Harry Potter Themed Bar
Harry Potter fans were aflutter when news broke that a bar apparently themed after the series of novels in Toronto was planning to open in Montreal. Except on closer inspection, the bar is not as Harry Potter-themed as it seemed, probably due to the expensive licensing costs that would come with using such an idea — this article delved into what exactly the bar is doing.
4. MTL Blog Writer Pretends Years-Old Restaurant is Actually New
The food-reporting antics of local content-discharge mill MTL Blog appeared in more than one story this year, but this was one of the more popular. The story is straightforward: the site reported that years-old Outremont Syrian restaurant Damas had newly opened. Yet it was also mind-numbingly ignorant: an online search for Damas turns up multiple reviews and stories about the restaurant, all of which are old, and on page one of the results.
3. MTL Blog Suggests Restaurant Pay For Replacement Article Correcting Its Writer's Errors
That wasn't even MTL Blog's most popular blunder for 2017 — that honour went to this story. The owners of Thai counter Épicerie Pumpui were upset that writer Emily Draicchio described their establishment as Indian — and her response to the situation only made things worse.
2. Breakfast Chain Chez Cora's President Was Kidnapped Overnight
Possibly the most bizarre Montreal food world story for 2017 was this incident, where president of breakfast chain Chez Cora was kidnapped from his Mirabel home and dumped near Laval, fortunately unhurt.
1. Joël Robuchon's Montreal Restaurant May Have Received $11 Million In Government Funds
The restaurant controversy of the year was the decision from Quebec government corporation Loto-Québec to spend big on a restaurant from superstar French chef Joël Robuchon. The restaurant opened in late 2016, but the issue was brought up by the opposition Parti Québécois in Quebec's National Assembly over the winter. Finance minister Carlos Leitão suggested that $11 million of public funds might have gone to the restaurant — and while the number was never confirmed, the story blew up.

The process of catching cheaters in video games is muddled in secrecy: the more developers say, the better equipped deviants are to cheat more efficiently next time around. Recently, however, League of Legends developer Riot Games' anti-cheat team shared some high-level insights in a blog post as to how they catch perpetrators in the act, and the methods are fascinating.
In League of Legends, there are three primary types of cheaters according to Riot: scripters, who automate actions; boosters, who acquire highly ranked accounts; and botters, who use programs to help them level up. To combat these problems, League of Legends has an anti-cheat team that is composed of analysts, data scientists, and even ex-cheaters who come together to identify ways of deterring, preventing, and detecting exploits.
Each type of cheater presents a unique challenge. In the case of scripters, for example, Riot has to differentiate between normal human move spamming and computer-generated moves, while also accounting for the fact that cheat developers have intentionally introduced delays to their programs to make them seem more human-like. Most scripters who are caught don't reform — only 9 percent change their ways, according to Riot — and it often takes an average of 5.1 banned accounts before a cheater decides to uninstall the game.
In the case of boosters, Riot tries to determine if there's a gap between a player's skill and the boosted account's rank. "We've managed to throw together a little algorithm that we run once a season to remove the rewards of those less deserving," Riot says.
Perhaps the most curious anti-cheat research Riot employs involves bots. "We've got a few PhD candidates, and those nerds are actively whipping up machine models that sort the electric dishwashers from the humans," Riot wrote. "Bots fighting bots—real edge-of-your-seat stuff."
While the team says it still has a ways to go in the fight against cheaters, the numbers shared by Riot so far are impressive. "We've banned over 7 million accounts for scripting worldwide in the last three years, with 5 million of those being handled by Tencent in China," the company explains. Incidentally, China is one of the leading regions when it comes to cheating, to the degree that Riot recently attended a boot camp in Shenzhen to develop new anti-cheat methods.
"Today, the average player is likely to encounter a futile scripter just once in every 400 ranked games," Riot writes.

Hurricane Sally to strike Alabama coast, local impacts minimal
Click here to stream WBRZ newscasts, breaking news and weather reports.
As of 1 pm Tuesday, Hurricane Sally was located 60 miles East of the mouth of the Mississippi River, moving to the NW at 2 mph with maximum sustained winds of 80mph. A slow forward speed will create major concerns for storm surge and heavy rain near and to the east of center. Sally's forecast track has shifted even further east.
A STORM SURGE WARNING is in effect along the tidal lakes, where 2 - 4 feet of surge is possible as Sally tracks inland. Much higher amounts are expected from Lake Borgne to the Mississippi Coast (4-6 feet).
Hurricane Sally will stay well east of the Baton Rouge area with minimal impacts to the Metro. Some areas along Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain could have high water (2-4') through Wednesday. Today, expect partly sunny skies with isolated tropical showers in the afternoon. Many locations may not even receive rain. Due to the presence of Sally to our east, expect breezy conditions with northerly winds of 10-15mph and locally higher gusts. Conditions will dry out significantly The week should end on a quiet note with partly sunny skies and just a stray shower Thursday and Friday. A weak cold front could pull the humidity and low temperatures down a bit for this weekend.
Metro Baton Rouge: Any impacts from Sally will be isolated to the individual storms that move through the area. Given the latest forecast, sustained tropical storm force winds over 39mph are unlikely in and around the city. Since the city and surrounding areas are going to be west of Sally's center, rainfall amounts will be very low, just 0.01 - 0.5" over a span of several days.
Trending News
Locations south and east of Baton Rouge: For areas surrounding Lake Maurepas, Lake Pontchartrain and close to I-55, some elevated breezes are possible, but tropical storm force winds are unlikely. This area is still expected to be west of center but close enough for slightly higher rainfall totals of 1 - 2" over a few days. Finally, 2-4' of surge could still be a problem, especially for south and east facing shorelines during high tide on Monday night. Those with property along the lakes should have completed preparations by now.

Earlier this year, owner Joseph Kim opened the third outpost of Dae Gee, a modern fast-casual Korean barbecue spot in the Baker neighborhood. Only around for five years, the restaurant's rise to popularity was swift. In honor of Barbecue Week, we asked Kim to share the secrets of his success. Here's what he said.
What is the story behind Dae Gee? Well, five years ago I literally jumped into the restaurant industry knowing the most important thing and that was I knew how to eat food really well and enjoyed it. When I tell people that I constantly get the response that I am crazy. I agree that I'm crazy, but sometimes the most phenomenal things happen in those difficult and crazy times. I partnered with the prior chef of Korean garden barbecue at the time and than bought out his portion a year later and than re-branded and did what I felt the restaurant needed. The rest is history and here we are.
Tell us about the name? Daegee which means pig in Korean is about pigging out or pigout!. Doing everything to the maximum whether it's the crazy red mohawk [like the one Kim sports] or having a trendy look to pushing the limits of how things are done.
What is the place all about? Korean barbecue is all about the interactive experience of cooking your own meat at your own barbecue table. Some may say why would I go to a restaurant to cook my own food but once you experience it and experience the family style of Korean culture it is amazing. The friendship you build during shots of soju and feeding each other!
How did you end up in the business? I have been in business all my life. My parents have always had a business from dry cleaners to super markets. I remember as an elementary kid stocking the aisles and helping my parents. In 2003, my father passed away so I moved back from California and the second day jumped into the family dry cleaning business at the age of 21. Never ran a business before or knew what do, but always had the mentality that I will find a way or figure it out.
With three outposts now, what was your expansion strategy? Honestly I didn't have a strategy or expansion plan. It was locations that people told me about and just negotiated the lease and made a deal with the landlords. Moving forward, I can't keep doing that. We'll plan better for future ventures.
Will there ever be more? We are always working on new locations and currently have several in the works so "Coming to a city near you."
How is Korean barbecue the same and how is it different from traditional American barbecue? The similarities are the meats but the technique and result are totally different. Koreans marinade everything where as the american barbecue is smoking.
What about sides - there are so many for Korean barbecue? Literally, if you did an article on Korean side dishes we would sit here for days. In fact, you could probably write a book on it because there are so many. There are restaurants in Korea that only serve side dishes. Literally you get a bowl of rice and 50+ sides.
Why is your Korean barbecue restaurant different from other Korean barbecue restaurants? For the most part, our staff speaks english. That is one huge difference. If you go to any authentic Korean barbecue place English is not the norm. I mean, you can get by with some broken English, but I mean carrying a in depth conversation about life or anything might be hard to come by. Also, we like to pride ourself on being authentic food-wise and being more trendy and having more fun!
What is the one thing that guests should not miss at Dae Gee? The marinaded beef short ribs!

Just think about your favorite vacation spot and instantly, you're transported: The sweet scent of the ocean, or maybe it's a lake house surrounded by pines and fresh air. Easy living, a corner spot to curl up and read, lounging around on a comfy sofa and taking those long afternoon naps. Sipping coffee (or something a little stronger) with your favorite people and nothing on the schedule except enjoying the day. #vacayvibes
If you've been following TFD, you know that we're all about relaxed, easy, stylish spaces. And what's more relaxing than vacation? We've ALL felt the effortlessly blissful living of vacation life, and there's no reason we shouldn't invite that feeling into our own homes 24/7!
Today we have 5 steps to bringing those vacation vibes home with you. Whether your last vacation was fairly recent or long past, these tips will have you relaxed and ready to chill in no time at all. 😉
Step 1 / Go Larger Than Life
When you walk into a resort or vacation spot, everything feels bigger. Art is larger, tables are longer, plants reach higher. And let's face it, when we come face to face with bigger, it's… well…
Better! It's exciting, grand, and pretty much always a good idea.
Increase the scale of items in your own home to achieve that larger than life feeling home. Think on a grand scale, such as…
Plants with Big Character
Oversized Art
Pro Tip: Have a photo from a favorite vacation blown up and framed. Then give it center stage to keep that vacation feeling going strong!
Another tip? Choose a photo with depth (like a landscape) and it will make your wall visually recede while creating huge impact. Hello, larger space!
Dramatic Lighting
Use dramatic, oversized lighting to make every space just a little more special. #wehaveathingforgreatlighting
Step 2 / Layer Those Textiles
Mm-hm, you knew I couldn't create a list without layering on it, right? 😉 When we enjoy the cozy comforts of a vacation, there's almost always luxurious layers of pillows and throws inviting us into the sofa, the bed, or even outdoor seating.
Layering is a simple technique you can use to give ANY space a cushy feel that makes you just want to sit down, settle in, and enjoy the day. Just don't forget to #mixitup in unexpected ways for a dash of interest! From color to pattern to texture, the options are endless and the results can instantly elevate the space.
Pro Tip: Vacation can mean the chance to sleep in. So why not create a spot that encourages that at home? I love the idea of creating the kind of bed that invites an extended stay… from crisp linens and layered duvets to soft lighting and cushy down-filled pillows… you deserve the best! (I also read that the average human spends 26 years sleeping. We can absolutely make those years the coziest possible, right?)
An upholstered bed, layered pillows in different colors and textures (a textured wall!), and here's the vacay piece: Dramatic pendant lighting combined with large vacation print! This space is doing it ALL right.
Step 3 / Light My Fire
Just kidding. Light a fire. Visually, there's something so simple yet so enchanting about a glowing fire. Which is probably why most vacation spots have some kind of glowing flame to put you in the mood. And you can do the same. It could come from lanterns on the porch, a fire pit, or a collection of candles at the table.
Don't dogs look like they have the easiest, happiest lives ever? Light up the fireplace and you could feel just as relaxed. 😉
But… don't forget about the senses–specifically, your nose! More than what our eyes can see, scent is a the biggest player in whisking us to a favorite moment or place.
A scented candle from your favorite spot will transport you instantly to that special time or place. And let's be honest, can we really have too many candles? Never. So sprinkle those all around your home for #allsortsof good vibes. 😉
Step 4 / The Gathering Table
Indoors or outdoors, long communal tables—where you can gather with family and friends—can help to break the everyday routine. Try replacing your chairs with a couple benches, hang some lights, and layer the table with luxe, summery linens. You could even decorate your table with candles or small vases of flowers.
Small changes can have a big impact… and a few easy touches can bring a little special something to the atmosphere.
Pro Tip: Great lighting shouldn't just be for your interior… find a way to hang a great fixture over the table or string some lights in the trees. Soft lighting gives that "easy, relaxed feeling" that's the hallmark or any memorable trip!
Step 5 / Create a Moment
Inside or outside… think about a place to create a "moment" that feels extra special, effortless, and worthy of becoming a highly anticipated daily retreat. Add a fun chair to your space…think hanging chair, a daybed for afternoon naps or reading time, or a chaise lounge to enjoy your morning coffee.
So, what are you waiting for? 5 steps to at-home vacation vibes that look and feel incredible.

Linux Rename File Example
Hello readers, in this tutorial, we will learn how to rename a file in the Linux operating system. For this tutorial, we will rename a file either:
- By using the
command to rename the file - Using
1. Introduction
Renaming files in Linux is not an advanced option, but it's surely the interesting one. Developers know that Linux has a powerful command-line interface which can be used to write this tutorial.
1.1 Renaming a file with 'mv' Command
The simplest way of renaming the files or folders in the Linux operating system is with the mv
command. Its basic purpose is to move the files or folders, but it also renames the files as the act of renaming the file is considered by the file-system as moving it from one name to another. This most basic way has the following prototype form:
Syntax 1
mv [options] old_file_name new_file_name
The Syntax 1 will only work if the file is in the current working directory. If not, developers can specify the full path and can use:
Syntax 1(a)
mv [options] /<path_to_file>/old_file_name /<path_to_file>/new_file_name
Do remember:
- The
command should have a write permission for the folder containing the files - If developers want to confirm the file-name before renaming, they can use the
option in conjugation with themv
command - If developers want to display all the changes made by the
command, they can use the-v
option in conjugation with themv
1.2 Renaming a file with 'rename' Command
The rename
command in Linux operating system is used to rename multiple files using the Perl expressions. This command is more advanced than the mv
because it supports the regular expressions, renames files to lowercase or uppercase and overwrites files using the Perl. This command also accepts the wildcard entries and has the following prototype form:
Syntax 2
rename 's/old-name/new-name/' file_name1.extn file_name2.extn
The letter s
is the important part of the regular expression and it stands for "substitute". The rename
command comes with few optional arguments i.e.
: Prints the list of successfully renamed files along with the old names-f
: Forcefully overwrites the existing file-n
: Determine what changes would take place but not done for real
2. Practical usage
Let's understand the usage of these commands with the help of the sample snippets.
2.2.1 Start Linux
Start a standalone Linux instance as shown below.
2.2.2 Create a Sample file
To start with this tutorial, we will need to create a dummy file using the vi
editor in Linux. Developers can write a dummy content to this file and save it using the :wq!
option. The following Linux snippet can be used.
Query 1
$ vi file1.txt
The command gives the following output.
2.2.3 Displaying the Content of Sample file
Once the file is created, developers can use the cat
command to ensure that the file was successfully created at the given path. The following Linux snippet can be used.
Query 2
$ cat file1.txt
The command gives the following output.
2.2.4 Renaming the file using the 'mv' command
In short, to rename a file in Linux developer can use the following mv
command. The following Linux snippet can be used.
Query 3
$ mv /<_path_to_the_file_>/file1.txt /<_path_to_the_file_>/welcome.txt
The command gives the following output.
2.2.5 Renaming the file using the 'rename' command
Let's say developers want to rename multiple files at once. To achieve this they can use the rename
command in Linux. Here is the basic Linux snippet that can be used to rename the multiple files.
Query 4
$ rename 's/\.txt$/\.log/' *.txt
As shown in Fig. 5, this command will rename all the .txt
files to the .log
in the working directory. Developers can verify this by doing the ls -ltr
on the Linux terminal.
Make note, while doing the critical or the major tasks developer can verify the changes by running the rename
command with -n
3. pyRenamer
pyRenamer is a renaming tool written in Python language to support the renaming of files using a desktop application. This application allows the file name change with a simple mouse click. At this moment, the official website is down, but users can install it from the 3rd part repositories using the following command:
sudo apt-get install pyRenamer
That's all for this post. Happy Learning!!
4. Conclusion
In this tutorial, developers learned how to rename a file or files in the Linux system using the mv
or the rename
command. I hope this article served you with whatever developers are looking for. You can download the sample commands in the Downloads section.
5. Download the Source Code
This was a tutorial of renaming the files in Linux.
You can download the full source code of this example here: Linux_file_rename_cmds

The Taj Maha is the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that is a subtle blend of elements from Persian, Indian and Turkish architecture. The Taj Mahal has achieved special note because of the romance of its inspiration. It is wrongly perceived that only the white domed marble mausoleum is Taj. The Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures that contains gardens, gateways, inns and a mosque.

Quick Facts about Taj Mahal :
- Legend has it that Shah Jahan had planned to construct another Taj Mahal in black marble on the other side of the river, but the war with his sons interrupted his plans.
- Some people think that Geronimo Veroneo, an Italian, designed the Taj Mahal.
- Supposedly, there are two staircases on the northern side of the red sandstone plinth that lead into a basement containing 17 chambers, with a third crypt in the center.
- Some important studies feel that the Taj Mahal is sinking.
- The name Taj Mahal when translated means "Crown Palace" or "Crown of the Palace."
- Some think that the changing colors of the tomb depict the different moods of a woman.

'Many don't have the means to switch to electric cars'
Mike Rutherford points out the sometimes costly nature of going green
It's not quite there yet, but the long and essential debate on climate change is fast approaching fever pitch. The sales and marketing lines delivered on the eve of the COP26 climate change conference by unintentionally comedic politicians, unashamedly entrepreneurial 'green' industry reps, and committed environmental pressure groups went a bit like this...
Petrol, diesel and LPG for personal transport, plus gas, coal and logs for home heat are all bad. Part one of the green argument says these are among the killer carbon fuels worthy of being totally or partially banned – from new cars and our homes, at least.
With equal passion, the green argument part two insists that electricity isn't merely good – it's a sort of blessed, life and planet-saving fuel we need to be encouraged or legally bludgeoned into buying for our vehicles and dwellings. Yet how we're supposed to buy and use the stuff when power cuts are so frequent (I suffered one on the day of writing this column, and have been warned to brace myself for another tonight) is another matter.
To the delight of the electricity industry, our Government has spent recent days reiterating that the new cars we buy should be plug-ins ASAP – but by December 2029 at their lawful latest. On top of that comes advice NOT to replace your existing gas boiler with a new, more efficient version costing from £1,000-£2,000 plus installation – usually the cost of a qualified engineer for a day or two. Instead, buy a heat pump priced around £12,000, plus countless thousands extra for installation and rebuilding of your present central heating system – radiators, pipes and more.
Seriously, expecting adults in low to middle-income jobs to make the switch from petrol or diesel vehicles to similarly-sized EVs sometimes costing almost twice as much is already a huge ask – one that may price many drivers out of personal cars and rob them of their motorist status. But for Government to push further still at the same time by warning that they'll also have to replace their comparatively affordable gas central heating systems and wood/coal-burning stoves with heat pump set-ups or sophisticated solar panel systems costing many, many times more is stupidly and brutally unreasonable, unacceptable and unachievable.
The cold, harsh economic reality is that many or most working adults simply don't have the disposable incomes to make the proposed and colossal legally required switch from their personal old-tech products fuelled by petrol, diesel, LPG, gas, wood or coal to newer-tech devices running solely on a fuel called electricity.
As for senior citizens already financially struggling to use their cars, stay warm and live on sub-£10,000 basic pensions that are their sole source of income – the arithmetic clearly demonstrates that these poor souls don't stand a chance. For these innocents and their meagre finances, soon to be legally required EVs and heat pumps are utterly, scarily and tragically out of the question.

SALON#1 at Untitled Projects shows new works by Christian Bazant-Hegemark, through which he further consolidates his figurative approach. Digital glitches and errors in image editing are fundamental in the conception of the presented pencil drawings and oil paintings. The series includes portraits and interrogations of political situations through which Bazant-Hegemark enhances his involvement with people's trauma processing.
The displayed works do not depict trauma as such, as it is not physically visible for the viewer, but can rather be experienced on an emotional level. The artist thematizes and reflects on the dynamic of traumatized people, who often lack knowledge about their own condition for a long period of time. The works recurringly focus on the psychological symptoms of traumatized people: body dissociation, depersonalisation, amnesia, fatigue and psychological coercions. These symptoms are, apart from clichés, not directly depictable as they do not offer clear images: one's emotional situation does not show on his surface only.
Consequently, the exhibited works – detached from everything else – seem like everyday sceneries illustrated: people sleeping, pottering, gardening, glancing; the works do not articulate the reason for these actions. The introspective look of the persons depicted refers to an internal communication, which we as spectators can never be a part of. It is not intended for us. In this sense we as the observer are always excluded from certain aspects and dynamics of an image – like trauma victims, who may lack a clear approach to their own body, recognitions, emotions etc. as a consequence of dissociations.
