Every day this year, I will be examining the artwork on a single comic book story. Today's artist is Milo Manara, and the story is Revoir les étoiles (To See Once More the Stars), which was published in À Suivre magazine in 1997. These scans are from The Manara Library volume 5, which was published by Dark Horse and is cover dated June 2013. Enjoy! (Once again, I have to hit you with a Not Safe For Work warning. HERE IT IS!!!!)
By 1997, Manara had become even more famous and had perfected a lot of stylistic tics in his art, which some people began to push back against. In The Urban Adventures of Giuseppe Bergman, Book 1, which we'll look at here, we can see some of those tics, especially when it comes to female faces. Let's dive right in!
In Panel 1, we see a pretty classic "Manara face," as the Girl (she's never named) has thin eyes and eyebrows, an almost nonexistent nose, and full lips. Look at how different she is from Giuseppe Bergman in Panel 2, who has actual facial features and whom Manara draws with a bit of personality. I can argue that because the Girl lives her life based on famous paintings (as we'll see) that Manara is making a point about the relative blankness of her face, but so many of his women look like this that I'm not sure how convincing I'll be. Manara, I assume, painted this with watercolors, which gives it a weird, diaphanous feeling, and also allows him to mimic airbrushing, as we see in Panel 3 with the brilliant sheen on the Girl's butt. She wears those pants for a while, and in some panels, her ass is almost painfully glowing. It's quite strange. Dark Horse printed this on glossy paper, and I assume the original was also printed on that kind of paper (otherwise, why would Dark Horse choose it?), and that, naturally, creates some of the shininess. But Manara really helps it along!
Here's more of the "Manara face," with special emphasis on the Girl's lips. Manara is mocking Bergman here a bit, and the Girl is talking about the painting "Gabrielle d'Estrées et une de ses soeurs," so he's definitely making a point, but he still doesn't give the Girl much of a nose, finishing the page by simply drawing two small dots as nostrils, and that's it. Those lips, though, are full and lush, with Manara using some hatching and lots of shades to make them plumper and more sensual, especially when she puts her finger next to her mouth (Manara knows his Freud!). In Panel 7, Manara makes the Girl more pornographic, as she narrows her eyes, places her tongue on her lips, and pinches her nipple. He's showing how odd our attitudes toward nudity in "real" life is ("real" life defined by Bergman's reaction to her nudity) as opposed to famous (and old) paintings, but it's true that he makes the Girl much more of a sexual fantasy than the women in the painting are. One thing you'll notice about that panel is how Manara shows the Girl pinching the nipple, as she moves her breast up, leaving her left one where it is. Manara, as usual, understands how the body moves, and that makes this drawing even more realistic and therefore unnerving.
I don't have much to say about this page except that Manara's work is staggering - the use of watercolors adds a dreamy quality to the city, which, considering it's composed of landmarks from around the world, isn't surprising. Even in the deep background, where we get nondescript skyscrapers, Manara does a nice job with the shading to show where the light is coming from. He doesn't take any pages off!
Even when she's naked, the Girl's ass is shiny, because Manara bathes her in light to contrast her with the old men staring at her as she enters the water. Manara still knows how light works, though, as he shades the small of her back, her spine, shoulder blades, showing where her body is indented just a little. The backgrounds on this page are stunning, though. Manara uses a riot of lines at the top to create the plant life, and he uses speckles on the stone work to age it a bit. In the pool, he uses wavy lines and more mixed watercolors to create the illusion of water, which is tremendous. In Panel 2, the trees behind the men are painted with some thick lines to imply bark, which is another nice effect. Manara doesn't show any contempt for the old man ogling the Girl, but he does throw them into shadow, with their white-rimmed bodies almost reflecting the Girl's natural light. It's an interesting optical illusion, once again showing how luminous the Girl is as she strides through the world.
Manara here turns the Girl into the woman in Botticelli's paintings, as she doesn't want to get raped by the bikers, so they chase her much like the knight pursued the woman in the painting. It's yet another interesting indictment of society's confusing relationship with nudity, as we tend not to question why women in classical paintings are so often naked, but the Girl in the more modern context looks out of place. On the other hand, the horror of what's happening to her is more immediate than the horror of the woman in the painting, which might stem from the fact that Manara has the benefit of centuries of artistic development behind him and understands perspective and shading more than Botticelli did, so the chase of the Girl looks more "realistic" than those in Botticelli's paintings. Beats me. This story is fascinating because Manara doesn't let us off the hook, so we're complicit in reducing the Girl to a sexual object even as we reject the bikers and the knight, who want to dominate her sexually. By drawing her naked so often and even by drawing her in such positions rather than in "bad naked" situations (even here, where she's being menaced, Manara draws her beautifully), he makes the reader feel uncomfortable, which is of course the point. It's one reason why Manara, for all that people accuse him of being a "porn artist," is far more subtle than those people might expect.
This is another gorgeous panel that just leaps out at you when you're reading this story, as the Girl ends up on an island with ruins on it. Manara does everything right here - on the left side, we get the giant black hole of the door leading us inside, with the stairs leading down to the Girl so we don't miss her. Several lines, in fact, point at her - the stairs, the beach, the water, even the white rocks above her thought balloon. Manara balances the panel well, too, with the black door on the left and the black trees on the right encircling the white rocks in the center. He's still using watercolors, so we get the marbled cliff surrounding the door and the gray paint in the water interrupted by the white on the right side, showing where the rocks end. In the background, we get beautiful clouds, streaking across the sky. It's a beautiful image all around.
Bergman believes that a painting killed the Girl, so art might bring her back to life. Interestingly enough, Manara has stopped showing her as a sex object and is now shading her face a little bit, which might be morbid ("she's only human when she's dead") but also shows that he has thought about how he will depict the Girl. Manara, as usual, shows that he gets how people move, as he manages to make the "dead" Girl a limp rag doll in Bergman's arms (she's "dead" here, but Bergman's plan does work, as she comes back to life). Manara also shows, once again, how versatile he is, as the graffiti is in all kinds of styles, from more abstract watercolors to solid line work when he draws good ol' Corto Maltese in Panel 3 to the cartoony drawings in Panel 4. I keep thinking that the final drawing of the conductor is a tribute to Jules Feiffer, but I'm not sure. Manara still shows that he knows what he's doing, even when the conductor is standing in front of a "fart orchestra" - the shading on the women is nicely done, and the two faces we see are wry and pleased with themselves. It's impressive seeing how well Manara switches from his "Manara style" to all sorts of other kinds of styles.
In the new century, Manara continued to do some interesting stuff and some experimentation, and we'll see some of that tomorrow. I was going to show his story in Sandman: Endless Nights, but that's actually one of the less interesting stories he's drawn in the past 15 years or so (art-wise, that is - you can praise or bash Gaiman's writing all you want). So, it's not that story. Sorry! But maybe there will be more nudity ... wait, what am I saying? It's Manara - of course there will be nudity! If you want to see more nudity, you perverts, you can probably find some in the archives!

What to Look for In A Health Insurance Plan
Accidents are not planned. People do not put a day and time in their schedules to get hurt or need medical care; it almost always happens suddenly. Also, with time, the costs of medical care are steadily increasing, and most treatments have become quite heavy on the average person's pocket. The answer to all these problems is health insurance. A good health insurance plan covers you in case of unexpected medical costs and protects you from heavy treatment fees with discounts in network covered hospitals and in some cases, free or discounted preventive care like vaccines.
While choosing good health insurance in Pakistan or anywhere else, you must keep in mind your own particular medical needs and the fine print of the insurance plan itself. Selection of a health insurance plan is a serious decision as it impacts not only yourself but your family and dependents as well. There are several important factors to consider when selecting health insurance, which we will look at below:
Costs to Consider:
Before selecting a health insurance plan, it is important to understand and consider the following important related costs:
Premium: The monthly payment made to the insurance company as fee for the selected plan
Deductible: The amount of money you need to spend before the insurance cover kicks in and the insurer starts to pay for your medical care. This amount is separate from the premium. There are various forms of deductibles, such as co-pays, fixed fee per visit, annual deductibles etc. The type and amount of deductible you pay depends on your insurance plan
Maximum out-of-pocket: The maximum amount you have to pay each year for health care expenses
Healthcare provider network:
Check the size and quality of the plan's provider network. Does it have the healthcare centers you prefer going to, or would be willing to switch to? It is also important to note whether the plan provides coverage for out of network care, and if yes, then what is the maximum amount of such coverage. Medical insurance in Pakistan usually covers major hospitals in all major cities, in the form of:
- preferred providers: most amount of discount due to agreements with the insurance companies
- participating providers: lesser discount rates
- part of a tiered network: different costs for different providers
The sum insured:
Sum insured is the total amount that you are insured for, i.e. the total amount of expenses your insurance plan will cover in case a medical service is needed. Choosing the sum insured requires careful consideration of the medical requirements of yourself and dependents to be covered (including any pre-existing medical conditions), inflation rates and your financial standing.
Restore Limit:
A restore limit is like a top up to your sum insured; in case of any unfortunate circumstances where your sum insured is fully utilized but you require further healthcare, an insurance plan with a restore limit will ensure there is no added financial stress in hard times.
Buy through reputed brokers:
Always buy health insurance through reputed insurance brokers/companies who are reliable and trustworthy. There are several worthy insurance companies in Pakistan who can be trusted to take care of your insurance needs, such as Jubilee insurance, EFU life, Allianz, etc. Websites like https://karlocompare.com.pk can help to compare the many different options and choose the best one suited to your needs.
Sub-limits are limits on categorized expenses, which are often hidden in the fine print. They are most commonly applied on expenses such as room rent, doctor's fees, etc. Check for sub-limits when choosing a health insurance plan and make sure you will not be surprised with extra expenses if you are put in a room of a different category.
Pre-existing conditions:
One of the most important things to consider while choosing a health insurance plan is their policy regarding pre-existing ailments, if any. Most plans have a waiting period after the start of your insurance coverage and the pre-existing ailments are only covered after you have crossed the waiting period. Check what the waiting period is for your medical needs and whether it is suitable for you or not.
These are just some of the aspects to consider while choosing a health insurance plan. It is optimal to buy health insurance as soon as possible in your lifespan, and be completely truthful while disclosing your medical information to the insurance company so that they can provide you with the best and most suitable coverage.

Sonora Robbery
- December 19, 2017
- Category: Press Releases
On 12-18-2017, just before 12:00 P.M., Sonora Police Officers were dispatched to take a robbery report. The victim met with officers at the Sonora Police Department and reported that on 12-18-2017, around 10:30 A.M., she was driving her vehicle near the intersection of Greenley Road and Lyons Street. The victim pulled her vehicle over and was approached by four subjects. Three of the subjects were males who were riding scooters and one was a female who was riding a skateboard. One male was described as being in his early 20's with visible tattoos on both arms. The other two males and female were described as being in their mid to late teens.
One subject pushed the victim to the ground and stepped on one of her hands. One suspect removed the victim's cell phone from the victim's pocket and stole the cell phone. Another suspect stole a small quantity of cash from the victim's purse.
The suspects then left the area. The female victim received minor injuries to her hand, but declined medical attention.
Officers searched the Greenley Road area for the suspects, with negative results. The Sonora Police Department is asking the public to report any information in regards to this incident.
This investigation is still ongoing.

The main objective is to discuss the historical-evolutionary character of the latest work of Douglass North. His views have been lately criticized, especially as far as their historical insight is concerned, as well as the nature of the concepts and the ideas he used. Three interconnected arguments dealing with North's neoclassical roots, his individualistic point of departure and his inclination to universalistic explanations sustain this allegation, and they will be presented in the first part. In the second part, a response to these arguments is suggested. Finally, the evolutionary character of his later work is discussed and established in the last part. It is held that by introducing 'culture' into the heart of the analysis of institutional change, North is oriented toward context dependent and consequently historically specific explanations.
Major shifts in thinking among economists and other social scientists in recent years have prepared the ground for the launch of the Journal of Institutional Economics. Within economics, for example, after a period of neglect from the earlier to the later decades of the twentieth century, the study of the nature and role of institutions has become a central topic. Explanations of economic growth and development used to focus on inputs, production functions, and outputs, often neglecting the institutional structures that constrain or empower individuals, and frame their incentives and disincentives. Accordingly, for a long time the firm was treated as a 'black box', with little regard to the structural determinants of its existence, boundaries, and performance. However, the study of the firm changed dramatically in the 1970s when Oliver Williamson, building on the earlier work of Ronald Coase and others, opened the black box to investigate the firm as an institution. Similarly, in a pioneering series of works, Douglass North has investigated the role of institutions in the historical development of the modern capitalism. There are many other examples of important achievements in this area, too numerous to mention here. The outcome is that institutions have become a central topic of analysis for economists.
When I was an undergraduate in Oxford, we were taught economics almost as though it were a natural science. The subject matter of economics might be different from physics, but only in the way that the subject matter of chemistry or biology is different from physics. The actual results were presented to us as if they were scientific theories. So, when we learned that savings equals investment, it was taught in the same tone of voice as one teaches that force equals mass times acceleration. And we learned that rational entrepreneurs sell where marginal cost equals marginal revenue in the way that we once learned that bodies attract in a way that is directly proportional to the product of their mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. At no point was it ever suggested that the reality described by economic theory was dependent on human beliefs and other attitudes in a way that was totally unlike the reality described by physics or chemistry.
Moral behavior and legal institutions coevolve. While evolutionary game theory has often analyzed the evolution of moral behavior within given institutional rules, it has not examined the coevolution of moral preferences and different institutional aspects of the decision environment. By an 'indirect' evolutionary approach, we analyze the coevolution of moral preferences (in the sense of trustworthiness) and legal institutions like court rulings and legal insurance. We find that preference detection capabilities crowd in morality and can thus render useless the role of courts and legal insurance as public institutions. Legal institutions become crucial for the emergence of morality, however, when information about preference types is not available. This holds true even when courts do not have superior detection capabilities than other agents.
The paper approaches the 'market versus state' issue from the perspective of constitutional political economy, a research program that has been advanced as a principal alternative to traditional welfare economics and its perspective on the relation between market and state. Constitutional political economy looks at market and state as different kinds of social arenas in which people may realize mutual gains from voluntary exchange and cooperation. The working properties of these arenas depend on their respective constitutions, i.e. the rules of the game that define the constraints under which individuals are allowed, in either arena, to pursue their interests. It is argued that 'improving' markets means to adopt and to maintain an economic constitution that enhances consumer sovereignty, and that 'improvement' in the political arena means to adopt and to maintain constitutional rules that enhance citizen sovereignty.
The new institutional economics has emphasized the importance of ideology in determining the content and direction of institutional change. Ideology can also determine when interest groups succeed in achieving legislative favor. The case of the regulation of in-kind wages in Britain shows that factors highlighted in mainstream political economy (such as interest group strength and organization, self-interest of legislators, and coalitional partners) were important. However, the interaction between relative price changes and social ideology was also significant in explaining the shape and timing of legislative changes. Changes in relative prices gave labor groups the incentive to seek legal protection from non-monetary wages, but they obtained protection only if they met certain criteria established by the prevailing ideology. Changes to that ideology resulted in further legislative changes granting cash wages to most industrial workers.
There is considerable interest in the proper management of public lands in the United States, but questions arise over what institutional arrangements may ensure proper land stewardship. Recently, the trust doctrine has been heralded as a way to motivate prudent decision making by land managers. School trust lands, which are managed to generate revenues for public schools, represent a long-standing example of the trust doctrine at work. We examine Mississippi school trust leases and show that the trustees, who are elected officials, maintain multiple conflicting objectives, which ultimately undermine the trust relationship. However, we find that a recent institutional change that made the Boards of Education (the fund recipients) the trustees, caused revenues to increase dramatically.
The analysis of the main features of knowledge, in terms of domain, characteristics and processes makes it possible to trace significant shifts in the economics of knowledge. Changing emphasis about the role of knowledge appropriability, divisibility and tradability has provided different solutions to the knowledge trade-off. Three different and rival concepts of technological knowledge can be identified: (a) knowledge as a public good, (b) knowledge as a proprietary good, (c) knowledge as a localized, collective and complex, path dependent activity. Such a shift has relevant implications in terms of governance mechanisms, strategic attitude of agents and public policy making.
Critical realists have gained substantial support within post-Keynesian and Marxian research communities, and it is likely that critical realism's influence in institutionalism will grow in coming years. Post-Keynesians and Marxists have had ongoing discussions regarding the strengths and weakness of critical realism. Institutionalists should have a similar discussion. This paper addresses a key feature of the critical realist program: its critique of mainstream economics. In particular, it criticizes the use by critical realists of the concept of closure, and argues that critical realism is misleading in its identification of the ontology of mainstream economics as Humean. The purpose of the paper is to promote critical discussion regarding the role of critical realism in institutionalism.
In this paper I identify fractionalization as a consequence rather than solely a cause of poor institutions. I investigate how heterogeneous agents in precolonial Africa relied on social distance-reducing signals to make trade with one another possible. I then show how colonial institutions created noise in these signals, inhibiting widespread cooperation. By stifling trade between diverse agents, colonial institutions contributed to Africa's poor economic growth.
This paper argues that the degree to which a given industry's labor contracts are complete or incomplete is the major factor determining whether its workforce will be unionized. For instance, assembly line industries feature complete labor contracts because of the nature of the production technology: Either a worker keeps up with the line, or he does not. In such a situation, there is no chance for a reciprocal gift exchange under which firms offer high wages in exchange for high effort levels. The result is low wages that make workers prone to unionization. By contrast, jobs that feature incomplete contracts (lawyers, computer programmers, economists) already have reciprocity and gift exchange in place. Such benefits guarantee to workers that their better interests will be looked after by a management that wishes to maintain a positive and productive labor–management interaction.
After Thorstein Veblen, Wesley Mitchell, and John R. Commons, Walton H. Hamilton (1881–1958) was one of the leading figures in American institutional economics in the interwar period (Rutherford, 2000, 2001, 2003). Indeed, Hamilton (1916: 863 n.) originally coined the very term 'institutional economics'. He announced its existence and defined its essential outlook at the annual meeting of the American Economic Association in December 1918 (Hamilton, 1919). Institutional economics then emerged in America as a broad movement, attracting support from a large number of leading economists. Significantly, 'Hamilton should be credited with having played the role of chief promoter' (Dorfman, 1974: 28).
Alfred Marshall was elected to the Chair of Political Economy at the University of Cambridge in December 1884. He gave his inaugural lecture on 'The present position of economics' on 24 February 1885 (Groenewegen, 1995: ch. 10). An abridged version of this lecture is presented below.

Yesterday I attended a Pinhole photography workshop, lead by Justin Quinnell (who has a great pinhole website) we made three camera's and took some pics with the beer can cam, and took away a camera made from a film canister, which is a 6-month pinhole camera, which I am going to set up somewhere in Bristol. Where?? I have to set it up on June 20th, on the Summer Solstice, pointing south. the sun burns into the photo, here's an example of one of Justin's: Clifton Suspension Bridge.
The workshop has given me loads of ideas…. putting a pinhole in a helium balloon in the sky, on my car whilst driving, posting one, putting one in a clock, photographing a yoga class, tying one to Trevor's bike, putting one in my mouth, playing tennis with one.

Being consciously aware and connected to that in which gives us cause to smile and rejoice is a deep practice. When I use the word practice I do not use it lightly, tossing it around like an empty, lifeless word. I use the word practice much in the same way that I offer a smile, with intention.
Thay (Thich Nhat Hanh) is fond of saying something along the lines of: we're always practicing something. So when we're expending energy in being rude and snippy we're practicing being mean. When we're expending energy listening to a friend who's struggling we're practicing kindness. And so on. We become masterful at what we put our time and energy into.
Oftentimes we are more fond of practicing complaining and looking at what's wrong rather than practicing joy and gratitude and looking at what's right. We are more likely to practice non-gratitude and non-joy. What we think is what we create, it's as simple and as powerful as that.
Over the last year (2012) I've made a conscious effort to cultivate joy and gratitude in my life in order to help support my mental and emotional health. After a rough summer in 2011 I surfaced from under a heavy fog of depression with a strong motivation towards self-care and well being. My practice was to be joyful. It may sound silly or entirely foreign, this idea of practicing joy, it did to me at first. I was under the impression that joy just happened, that it existed outside of myself of its own free will. But I came to see that this notion I had was an illusion, it simply wasn't true. If I wanted a better life, if I wanted to be happy, if I wanted to be mentally and emotionally grounded it was up to me to make that happen.
When I get stuck in thinking: if only my husband would just do this I'd be happy, if only this person treated me better I'd be happy, if only I could have better health I'd be happy, if only….. then what I am practicing is that I am not in charge of my own well being. I am practicing giving my power away. I am practicing that this moment, right now, is not enough. I am practicing looking at what's wrong. Again, we become masterful at what we put our time and energy into. As hard as it is to admit, I can see clearly my own capacity for becoming masterful at wallowing in self-pity. Over the last year and half or so I have come into close relationship with the teaching that I really am in charge of my own well being.
When we learn, discover, stumble upon or run smack into the truth of how we are all in charge of our reality and how we live our lives it can be both incredibly freeing and terribly deflating at the same time. When we have no one left but ourselves to hang our struggles on it can be frightfully sobering. Of course our lives are sculpted by a myriad of factors including people, collective ideals, education, financial resources and so on but the constant that weaves through them all is us. We always have a choice of how to respond to a situation. It is easy to think that life happens to us and we react accordingly, that we have very little influence over how it unfolds. And it is even easier to not be aware that this is our thinking.
We can easily understand what it means to practice at a skill or craft or musical instrument. It makes sense that when learning pottery or learning the guitar it will take time and dedication to make a beautiful bowl or play a great song. It is the same with practicing joy and gratitude. We need a certain amount of belief that with practice will come the fruits of our time and effort. For me, the fruits of my practice include more patience, an ability to better go with the flow of life, a greater ability to not get stuck in my negative thinking, lessened physical pain associated with my nerve disease RSD, more joy, more abundance and more gratitude! The more I practice joy the more joy that gets created!
Once we learn how to ride a bike it is very difficult to unlearn how to ride a bike. When we practice eating healthfully and drinking lots of water it becomes more challenging to eat crappy food and drink lots of pop. When we practice joy and gratitude it becomes more challenging to be negative and disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. It is the natural result of turning towards the light of our own humanity. We don't need to actively stop doing anything, we need to actively start doing something different and the transformation we are looking for will develop as a natural result of our actions.

China Travelogue
This is a travelogue from my travel to China. So, I call it: China Travelogue.
It goes without saying that, throughout the history, China was one of the largest empires in the world. The Qing dynasty, also known as the Qing Empire, officially the Great Qing, was the last imperial dynasty of China, established in 1636 and ruled China from 1644 to 1912. It was preceded by the Ming dynasty and succeeded by the Republic of China. After Qing dynasty, a republic was formally established on 1 January 1912. The government lost its power in the wake of the Chinese civil war in 1949. Members of this government were exiled to Taiwan. Finally since 1 October 1949, after a near complete victory by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the Chinese Civil War, Mao Zedong proclaimed the People's Republic of China (PRC) from Tiananmen.

Belgium now stands alone as the best national team, according to the latest men's rankings from FIFA, after previously sharing top spot with France.
Les Bleus are second, just one point below Belgium and 63 points above third-placed Brazil.
England, meanwhile, is in fifth place - its highest position for five years. Gareth Southgate's side sits below Croatia, its conqueror in the World Cup semifinals over the summer.
Uruguay, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, and Denmark round off the top 10, with Colombia rising three places into 11th. The United States men's national team sits one slot below Tunisia and one above Austria in 23rd. Northern Ireland has endured one of the worst slumps in FIFA's grading - Michael O'Neill's squad dropped six rungs to 34th - after October's Nations League defeats to Austria and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The management of Kumasi Asante Kotoko has suspended Coach Bashir Hayford ahead of the club's last CAF Confederation Cup group match against El-Merreikh in Khartoum this weekend, fuelling speculations that the coach is on his way out of the club.
Director of Communications, Kwame Baah-Nuako, told the Graphic Sports that the decision was taken as a result of gross indiscipline on the part of the coach.
He explained that after the 2-2 draw game against Etoile Sportive du Sahel in Kumasi last week, Hayford left unceremoniously for Tema to spend some days without informing management. On his return, Baah-Nuako said, management queried him but he was yet to respond to the query.
"Having left the team, management thought that it was not important to let the coach lead the team to Sudan", the communications director said.
Hayford has had a stormy relationship with management, manifesting in contract wrangles and other off-the-pitch accusations and counter accusations.
At the last meeting between management and the owner of the club, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Manhyia Palace, Otumfuo charged management to find ways of settling all differences with the coach, but recent developments point to deepening strained relations.
Mr Baah-Nuako would not delve into whether the coach would be sacked, preferring only to say that at the end of the season (that is, after this weekend's match), management would sit down to review the technical direction of the club.
According to him, Kotoko would be entering the more competitive CAF Champions League next season and would have to organise themselves properly for the task ahead.
Mr Baah-Nuako said apart from the technical direction, management would also look into the playing body, as well as management's own direction, to put Kotoko in a better shape for the Champions League.
In the absence of Hayford, his assistant, Johnson Smith, leads Kotoko to Khartoum as they attempt to restore at least a bit of their pride.
The head-to-head rule puts Kotoko in a tight corner and they can only appease their fans with a win. But Kotoko need to carry a lot of firepower to The Sudan if they are to end the run of away defeats in the Confederation Cup.
Technically Asante Kotoko have been outwitted in their away matches, leaving their supporters wondering how the challenge could be overcome.
The Porcupine Warriors blew away a good chance of getting to the finals by drawing with Etoile in Kumasi in the penultimate match. And having paid the price for taking their foot off the pedal, only a victory over El-Merreikh could bring some smiles to the faces of the supporters.
In the first leg in Kumasi, Kotoko went through a torrid time before subduing the Sudanese champions 1-0. The Sudanase would surely seek revenge over Kotoko and a good match is expected on the day.
Kotoko would have the luxury of a full squad to fight for glory. On that score expect Samuel Inkoom, Godfred Yeboah, Osei Kwame and Ofosu Appiah to provide the needed cover for Soulama Abdoulai, in post.
An attack of Eric Bekoe, Kwabena Yaro and Osei Kuffuor should be strong enough to get the goals for Kotoko.

Algeria's state-owned passenger transport line ENTMV, better known as Algérie Ferries, has finally confirmed an order for one ro-pax ferry with China's Guangzhou Shipyard International
The order represents an investment of US$175M. The 25,000gt vessel will have a capacity for 1800 passengers and 600 cars. Delivery is expected in mid-2019.
It was originally reported in April 2017 that such an order had been placed with GSI, with a delivery term of 26 months- ie mid-2019. Subsequently, however, ENTMV organised a public tender for inspection and surveillance during construction.

To be honest I've never seen the OOM in action on those instances. My Xmx was 8GB just like yours and that let me think you have some process that is competing for memory, is it? Do you have any cron, any backup, anything that can trick the OOMKiller ?
My unresponsiveness was seconds long. This is/was bad becasue gossip protocol was going crazy by marking nodes down and all the consequences this can lead in distributed system, think about hints, dynamic snitch, and whatever depends on node availability ...Can you share some number about your `tpstats` or system load in general?
On the tuning side I just went through the following article: https://docs.datastax.com/en/dse/5.1/dse-admin/datastax_enterprise/config/configRecommendedSettings.htmlNo rollbacks, just moving forward! Right now we are upgrading the instance size to something more recent than m1.xlarge (for many different reasons, including security, ECU and network).Nevertheless it might be a good idea to upgrade to the 3.X branch to leverage on better off-heap memory management.

10 Best: English love nests
As spring bursts forth, take a trip across the Irish Sea for a cosy weekend in the countryside. Hayley Spurway suggests 10 perfect places for loved-up couples to get away from it all.
Swap the hustle and bustle of daily life for a peaceful hamlet in the heart of Dorset's countryside near Milborne Wick. At The Pavilion, getting away from it all needn't mean curling up under a faux-fur throw and doing nothing at all. Here you can gorge on local produce from the farm shops, unwind in the sauna and steam room, and enjoy a bit of exertion as you stride out into your verdant surroundings, spin off by bike ride or tone up on the Power Plate.
Whether or not you exert yourself first, there are few better places to chill out than this light-filled pad decked out in bespoke furnishings, ultra-modern luxuries and the latest audio-visual entertainment. Make a bucket of popcorn and lounge in your private cinema, kick back and enjoy your surroundings from the roof terrace or watch the world go by from a stone grotto by the millstream.
Basics: Sleeps four (plus two small children).
Cost: Three nights from €756 or €126 per person.
Nr Whitby, Yorkshire
Light the candles, put on some music, slip into a cosy bathrobe and snuggle up by the fireside. You won't have to lift a finger.
Home-cooked food can be delivered at your request, and if you order a hamper crammed with local produce, bubbly and chocolates, you'll be reluctant to go out once you've set up house in your cosy abode with its mezzanine sleeping level.
But staring out to Robin Hood's Bay (above), you might just be tempted to step outside and boost your appetite for romance with a windswept walk and a pint of Yorkshire ale. And if you can't muster up the energy for a coastal ramble, at least you can enjoy a blast of briny air from your sea-facing terrace.
Basics: Sleeps two, self-catering in style.
Cost: Three nights from €329 or €164 per person.
A backdrop to the marina, the changing tides of the estuary, and the call of sea birds: this is a waterside retreat with a romantic edge.
Laid out over three floors that climb above water level, this cosy 18th-century cottage is brimming with coastal character, nautical paraphernalia, antique furnishings and a lick of contemporary style. Sink into an armchair in the first-floor lounge and gaze out over the boats and the River Deben, or step outside and witness Suffolk's famous 300-year-old Tide Mill, enjoy waterfront dining options and explore the gems of historic Woodbridge.
Basics: Sleeps up to four (self-catering).
Cost: From €456 for a three-night weekend or €103 per person.
Wake up to birdsong in a lovingly restored cottage nestled in the Cotswolds. Whatever the weather in the countryside of Painswick, curl up by the log fire at night, or in the sun-filled conservatory by day.
Dating back to the 1890s, this former worker's cottage exudes a period ambience with its traditional furnishings and antique treasures. With the Cotswolds rolling out from the doorstep, there is little you need other than your walking boots -- and perhaps a stash of fresh produce from the local farm shops if you intend to bypass the local pubs and cook a romantic dinner in-house.
Basics: Sleeps up to four.
Cost: From €653 per week or €163 per person.
If you like your romantic breaks quintessentially seaside-style, bag this fisherman's cottage just footsteps from the beach and enjoy the fusion of traditional character updated with modern luxuries.
Pack up a picnic and have an old-fashioned day out on the beach, source some of Kent's famous oysters (and put them to the aphrodisiac test) or dine out under the stars on your beach-side terrace.
Outside, the olive trees pickled with tiny white lights create a magical al fresco dining area -- and what with a selection of jazz music to chill out to, breathtaking views of the sunset and a garden that leads to the pebbly seashore, you have little choice but to be swept away into an ambience of romantic relaxation.
Near the town of Deal.
Basics: Sleeps up to five.
Cost: From €721 for three nights or €144 per person.
Monmouthshire, Wales
With room for a family of six, bag this country cottage for just two and you've something of a palatial love nest in the Welsh countryside. If you're equestrian types, you can bring your own horses and enjoy wild rides into the woods and hills; even if you're not, don't forget your walking boots -- on the doorstep, you have the Vale of Usk and walking country extraordinaire.
While the great outdoors and the isolation of your hilltop bolthole are its major calling cards, there is plenty inside that make Valley View the perfect lovers' retreat.

Basics: Sleeps up to four adults and two children.
Cost: From €521 for a three-night weekend or €86 per person.
Sink into the roll-top bath and witness breathtaking coastal views without getting out of bed. Pure romance for couples, this converted barn in Trebarwith Strand sits atop verdant cliff pastures that gaze out to staggering coastal scenery and world-class sunsets.
Sink into squishy sofas and enjoy contemporary country living, or sit out on the teak decking for al fresco dining and a sun-downer in the fresh sea air. With homemade meals delivered to your door, everything is at your fingertips, but you'd be missing out if you didn't explore beyond the granite walls of this contemporary barn conversion. Cornwall's north coast beaches are a short hop away for a spot of surfing or wild coastal walks.
Basics: Sleeps up to four.
Cost: From €1,645 per week or €411 per person; three-night stays also available.
Whisk your lover away for a stint of contemporary living in a romantic waterside location. Where is it? A converted chapel cottage sitting in a quiet spot on the riverbank, yet within walking distance of Truro -- Cornwall's vibrant city with its boutique shops, beautiful cathedral and array of tempting eateries.
The neutral décor lets the watery scenery burst in through the windows and do the talking, and swanky features include a stainless steel and ash staircase to the raised dining level. Under exposed white beams awaits a king-size bed, ambient lighting and a deep, curved bath, but the real appeal has to be the view to the boats sailing by, long leisurely walks along the creek and fine-dining opportunities.
Basics: Sleeps two (self-catering, with home-cooked food delivered by arrangement).
Cost: From €603 per week or €301 per person.
Wonderfully situated to explore some of Cornwall's coastal gems, Loe Pool Studio near Helston is an idyllic lovers' hideaway. Original antique furnishings add a traditional twist to seaside-inspired decor with striped cushions, nautical trinkets and contemporary artwork.

Or venture out to spot wildlife around Loe Pool and feel the sand between your toes on the nearby beach.
Grab local produce from farm shops, get home-cooked meals delivered or dine on fresh seafood by the harbour at Porthleven.
Sleeps: Two (self-catering; home-cooked meals by arrangement).
Cost: From €263 for a three-night weekend or €87 per person.
Oozing with country character, this traditional stone cottage is enveloped in lush countryside, just half an hour from the wild coastline of north Devon in South Molton.
Step out in your walking boots or stay in by the fire; this is a haven for couples looking to get away from it all. Freewheel into verdant surroundings (bikes are provided), tramp into the woods or catch the sun in the white flower garden, then come inside and unwind from your day in the claw-foot bath. There are cream teas, fine dining and everything in between just a short drive from your cottage, but there's no need to stray from your romantic abode -- get creative in your country kitchen or call on the local caterers to cook up a storm.
Sleeps: Three (self-catering with local caterers available).
Cost: From €433 per three-day weekend or €144 per person.

The Great Depression majorly impacted lives in America. It created a diversion to many groups of people in all aspects of society. It changed American homes, leisure time, economy, and the role of the government. Specifically, the depression affected groups such as farmers, Mexican immigrants, African Americans, women, bankers/stockbrokers, and business owners/industrialists.
Home Life
The first aspect of society that the depression influenced was home life. People went from living comfortable and carefree to barely being able to survive. The city and social classes were affected differently. While the wealthy were barely affected, the middle working class had to make adjustments due to pay cuts and job loss. People needed to find a way to make money even if it meant selling apples on the street. The poor were majorly affected. Most poor people lost their homes and were forced to live in shanty towns called Hoovervilles and their only source of food was from soup kitchens. Unable to deal with these issues, many men ran away from their marriages tearing families apart. Many people rode the rails or illegally jumped on trains to get away. Farmers had already been struggling since after the first World War and the Great Depression period was no exception. Due to irresponsible farming, dust storms started to arise in the Great Plains, killing cattle, crops, and even people as a result of dust pneumonia. These conditions forced farmers to evacuate and move to California. The farmers were not welcome and were forced to work on work camps to stay alive. Mexican immigrant's were also greatly affected. If an immigrant held a job, society saw it as one less job for an American. This resulted in hostility towards Mexican immigrants and many of them were deported.
Leisure Time
Another aspect of society the depression affected was leisure time. In the 1920's, many new appliances like washing machines and automobiles were created which made people's lives easier giving them free time for leisure activities like dancing and going to the city for parties. Despite Prohibition during the 1920's, people found access to alcohol in illegal bars called Speakeasies. During and after the Depression, people still needed a way to occupy their minds and relax. Those who could spare money attended movies and bought radios. It became a routine for families to crowd around the radio and listen to broadcasts or music. African Americans continued to play jazz just as they did throughout the 1920's. This uprising brought entertainment to many people. Women were no different and needed to take their minds off of the depression by enjoying radio stories and listening to jazz music when they were not taking care of their children.
Role of Government
The role of government was the last aspect of society that was affected by the depression. Government's role was significantly increased during the Great Depression with the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In the 1920's era, there were three Republican Presidents; Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. They all supported pro-business policies or the laissez faire policy. When depression hit, Hoovers philosophies and efforts were not doing much. He was still doing nothing to regulate business even though the economy was in desperate need. People were starting to agree with the government regulating businesses and protecting the well being of its people. There was a march held by World War One Veterans known as the Bonus Army that demanded money they were owed from the war. Hoover did not give the Veterans their money and sent soldiers to break up the march. All this led up to the election of FDR who was elected unanimously due to the fact that no one still supported Hoover. FDR created a new series of programs called the New Deal. This helped government directly affect its people and help them recover from the depression. Mexican immigrants received support and protection from government through these programs and were even deported for free. Government supported farmers as it created a new plan called the AAA to set limits on the size of crops and herds allowed to prevent another dust bowl. Migrant workers from the dust bowl were given support under the FSA program. It also made a plan called the CCC to hire teenage boys to plant trees and help with disaster relief.
The Great Depression had an enormous impact on America as it turned the boom of the 1920's in the bust of the 1930's which affected Americans in every aspect of society.

text: Do More Web & Search Tips on Using Spotify's Advanced Music Search Options Find the exact music you're looking for with these time-saving tips Share Pin Email Print Web & Search Best of the Web Search Engines Safety & Privacy Running a Website by Mark Harris Mark Harris is a former writer for Lifewire who wrote about the digital music scene and streaming music services in an easy to understand, no-nonsense manner. Updated June 24, 2019 45 45 people found this article helpful Hidden behind Spotify's user-friendly website and desktop client lurks a handy set of search options that you might not be aware of. These advanced set of commands are typed in the search box and are great for distilling the exact music you're looking for. For example, you might want to see all the music Spotify has in its library that was released in a particular year. Similarly, you can filter out only the songs that an artist released in a given year or even decade. Having this extra ability to optimize your searches helps to get the exact results you need while efficiently using the Spotify music streaming service. Rather than having Spotify spit out an enormous list of results (often with irrelevant entries), utilize the tips below to save yourself loads of time so that you can get on with building up your Spotify music library. Important Syntax Rules Before you start typing commands into Spotify's search box, it's useful to know these syntax rules: Quotes have to surround any search term that has a space. For example, the command to search for the Ambient Pop genre would be genre:"ambient pop".When using Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), make sure they're typed in uppercase or Spotify will think you're searching for those words.The default search parameter is AND, meaning that if you were to type Swift Dragons, you'd find everything that includes both the words Swift and Dragons.You can type + or - instead of AND or NOT, such as -swift to avoid all mentions of the word. Filter by Year to Compile Retro Playlists This is a useful command if you want to search all the music in Spotify's music library for a particular year, or even a range of years (like a whole decade). This is also a great retro search tool for compiling music playlists for the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. year:1985 With the above example, Spotify's database is searched for music that was released in 1985. year:1980-1989 The above example is useful for seeing music covering a range of years (e.g., 1980s in this example). year:1980-1989 NOT year:1988 You can use the NOT Boolean operator to exclude a year. Search for an Artist on Spotify A more useful way to search for artists is to use this command because you can use extra Boolean operators to filter out unwanted results like collaborations with other artists. You can even look for specific collaborations only. artist:"michael jackson" The above search looks for all songs that an artist was involved in (regardless of collaboration). artist:"michael jackson" NOT artist:akon This one excludes an artist (Akon) from the Spotify search that collaborated with the main artist (Michael Jackson). artist:"michael jackson" AND artist:akon This final example uses AND to include both parameters. In other words, it looks for specific collaboration between the two artists. Search by Track or Album To filter out unnecessary results when finding music, you can specify a track or album name to search for. track:"invaders must die" Use the above search command to find all songs with the "Invaders Must Die" title. album:"invaders must die" This example searches for all Spotify albums with a certain name. Find Better Music With the Genre Filter One of the ways you can use the advanced search commands in Spotify is to use the Genre command to search for artists and bands that fit into this musical type. To see a full list of genres that you can search for, check out this Spotify genre list. genre:electronica This command searches for one particular genre type. genre:electronica OR genre:trance This one uses Boolean operators to get results from a mix of genres. Combine Commands for Better Search Results To really increase the effectiveness of the above commands you can combine them to make your searches even more powerful. For instance, you might want to find all the songs that an artist released in a particular year, or search for a series of albums by several artists covering a certain period of time. artist:"michael jackson" year:1982 The above command finds all the Spotify songs that Michael Jackson released in 1982. genre:rock OR genre:pop OR genre:"experimental rock" year:1990-1995 This huge Spotify search command includes a combination of two search operators to broaden the genre searches while covering a specific number of years. year:2017-2018 genre:indie NOT panic NOT Khalid NOT feat. NOT "Imagine Dragons" NOT Zucker Another example to show the power behind Spotify's advanced search capabilities is this command, which searches the service for all Indie songs released between 2017 and 2018, but excludes results that have various words in the track or album name. You'd use this last advanced search command to get a list of songs from a specific genre but that excludes artists you don't want to see in the list. You could keep adding more NOT parameters to avoid seeing songs from particular bands. If you're using Spotify from your web browser and want to return to that same search in the future to check for new songs, copying the URL to that page will re-insert the same search options the next time you open the URL. Other Ways to Search Spotify There are other advanced searching methods you can use to find specific songs. Spotify has a list of all of the supported search options on the Wayback Machine. Some examples of what you'll find there include a tag:new parameter to find the most recently added albums on Spotify, and label to find music released by a specific record label. Continue Reading

SAP MOON - the third of our full moon yarn colorways for 2019! Gorgeous muted plum and gray, pops of bronze and blue. Throughout history, cultures the world over have depended on the moon for scheduling their planting and harvesting and keeping track of animals and seasons. We'll be featuring a different full moon name each month this year. Get one or collect them all and make a glorious moon-inspired project! The photo shows an average skein. Yours may vary slightly from the photo. We will do our best to match skeins when shipping your order.
YARN - Superwash Merino Wool Silk Pearlescent Worsted - (50:50) Smooth with a gorgeous gleam
Sure to be a favorite!
MERINO WOOL is ultra soft, creamy to the touch, cloud-like and breathes so you stay comfortable and cozy. We had these spun with a very fine merino wool so it's incredibly soft and wonderful for next-to-skin accessories and garments. It has a lovely stretch and "memory" so it's a breeze to create hats, mittens, sweaters, socks, boot toppers, blankets and virtually anything else you'd need some elasticity and bounce for.
MULBERRY SILK is a dream... it glows and gleams and takes the dye so well, that the colors just pop like crazy. It also contributes to the lovely softness.
~When you combine these two fibers into a single ply yarn like this, you get subtle differences in tone as the wool and silk take the dye slightly differently. The colors truly appear to be iridescent and other-worldly.
•1-ply : For ultra shimmer and glow!
•Worsted Weight: Ideal for next-to-skin accessories or sweaters, sweet baby items, blankets and so much more. Great for all skill levels, even beginners as it's a popular worsted weight thickness.
•Superwash Merino Wool - Mulberry Silk blend (50% of each) - hand-wash only for best results. Super soft like buttah, with a shine that just won't quit.
•Yardage: 201 m/ 220 yd
•Weight: Approximately 115 g / 4 oz
•Recommended Knitting Needle Size: US 6-10
•Crochet Hook Size: G-J
Note: Each skein is a hand-created, unique work of art and no two skeins will be identical, even within the same dye lot. If working with more than one skein in a project, it is best to alternate skeins every other row. Despite every effort to accurately depict our product colors, actual shades may vary due to differences in monitor settings.

Them and Us (Independent)
Chuck Brodsky stands alongside Loudon Wainwright III and Si Kahn as one of America's great social commentators. And if you haven't heard of Brodsky after 12 albums, then obviously, you've been visiting The Little Prince on asteroid B 612. A natural story teller, he's built quite a reputation chronicling delightful idiosyncrasies in baseball and Them And Us offers two wonderful new additions: Funeral For The Curse–the Chicago Cubs winning the 2016 World Series, of course–and Stand up Guy–an umpire who blew a perfect game call and later apologized.
Besides baseball, Brodsky turns his talent to poignantly acknowledge the current great political and cultural divide in American society. And nothing he's ever written is as chilling as Couldn't Do What Dady Done–a look at white supremacy through the eyes of a son reflecting on his, and his father's, ingrained bigotry. Let this song ring loud and clear from the balconies of The White House, please.
But he has a wicked sense of humour, too. Witness the bittersweet Call It Chicken about meat grown in a laboratory:
"Hey, call it chicken, it grows in a dish / Tweak it a little, you could call it fish / Try telling that to the man on the street / How all they're growing is the chicken meat."
Then there's a couple of moving stories set in the Second World War, The Violin and The Forger.
All told, Them and Us is exactly what you'd expect from Chuck Brodsky: carefully crafted songs to make you angry, think, and laugh out loud. Enjoy.

The Star Wars empire has been the source of large doses of entertainment mixed, some claim, with small doses of deep wisdom.
"May the Force be with you" is easy to parody (itself, perhaps, a parody of the Christian liturgical opening, "The Lord be with you"). And all that sword-master stuff-- "let go of your conscious self"--sounds a little stilted, at best.
But look, I'm a big fan of taking wisdom from wherever you find it. So I have learned from Star Wars, but never more than from that little green man, Yoda.
And my favorite of all his sayings is this: "Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try."
I recently read an article where the author quotes this, then calls it, "Probably the best Yoda-ism of all time and one I try to live by every day." Do you think the irony was intentional?
Because you see, it's hard not to try. That's why I find this seemingly-flippant remark by Edith Wharton to be actually rather deep: "If only we'd stop trying to be happy we'd have a pretty good time."
So many of my "secrets" have to do with working at it: making good choices, and paying attention. But there is a sort of "via negativa" in which the aspirant to happiness just stops fretting about it and bes.
Great grammar, I know, but worth it if it gets the point across: Stop trying. Just have a good time.
You'll be happier.

Hematita: um novo método de síntese para a indústria
Costa, Célia Domingues da
MetadataShow full item record
The motivation in studying the properties of iron oxides was due to difficulty in obtaining colored pencils in shades of brown, with good coverage. To carry out this work we used pigments for industrial use Icra provided by the company that is seeking new technologies to modernize its industrial park and the company Faber-Castell new suppliers of pigments. To study the pigment supplier of business best suited to the project was used atritor grinding mill, to assess the behavior of the pigment in high-energy milling and after analysis of the pigments was selected the most suitable for continuation of the project. Developed methodology to improve the physical and chemical characteristics of the pigment in different processing times by microwave hydrothermal. These techniques allowed to evaluate the evolution of the phases, morphology and structural disorder in samples of atritor milling and recrystallization of the pigment using the microwave hydrothermal. The characterization techniques used in the project were: BET, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), scanning electron microscopy with field emission (FEG-SEM).

[November 6, 2018] As incoming Freshman in college, everyone was required to take a contemporary English class. One of the required books in the class was by Thomas A. Harris, MD, I'm Okay You're Okay.1 It focused on the transactions among people. Ultimately it was about accepting who we are. Yet the idea that leaders should accept themselves is not new and remains an essential point.
A highly successful leader has little to do with one's physical appearance or level of intelligence, social network, or economic status. Leadership transcends these attributes because it is about how the individual is able to conduct themselves around others and as a leader, complete the mission while simultaneously taking care of the leader's people.2 That can only be done if leaders are able to accept themselves as they are.
This does not mean that when leaders accept who they are, they have no motivation to make improvements in themselves. Contrary to conventional thinking on this topic, a leader who is "okay" with themselves means that they accept how they are and that there will be many things they will never be able to do.
For example, a woman who is less than five feet tall will not be a professional basketball player and a man with an IQ of less than 100 will not be a great politician. We may wish it to be so but reality says otherwise; at least today. If this woman and man accept their limitations, they begin a path that takes them to other goals in life where they can concentrate their time and resources, and therefore be hugely successful.
There is little to gain by putting great effort and treasure into something that is not achievable. Leaders still must still have the motivation to make continuous improvements in their own lives as well as others. That is what makes them a leader. Remember that Napoléon Bonaparte was short.
