Celtic have rosy Euro outlook, says Craig Gordon
Craig Gordon remains confident that Celtic can get themselves out of an awkward Champions League spot against Rosenborg in Norway next week.
The Hoops drew a blank in the first leg of the third round qualifier at Parkhead on Wednesday, with the Scotland keeper making several good saves against the neat and tidy Eliteserien leaders.
The Scottish champions face a precarious return game in Trondheim on Wednesday but, ahead of a friendly at Sunderland today, the former Black Cats keeper said: "It could have been worse. We could have been going there behind but we are still very much in it. It wasn't a terrible result to get at home, the clean sheet was really important. We are satisfied with it.
"If we get the away goal over there we are in the driving seat.
"We didn't manage to get a goal but we are still in a decent position. I'm sure that we have enough in the dressing room to come through the game.
"Rosenborg will be quietly confident that they can get the win. It is going to be a close game but we are confident in our abilities to go away from home and win."
Meanwhile, boss Brendan Rodgers revealed his reasoning behind not adding a third quality centre-forward to his squad, but admits he may have to reconsider.
The Ulsterman said: "With all due respect to Scottish football, you can't have three top strikers.
"You are not playing in the Premier League or a real competitive league.
"It is equally as tough (here) but in a different way. You cannot bring in another top striker because the dynamic wouldn't work within the group, within the model of how we play, it is not going to suit us.
"But it is something that we have to look at.
"If Moussa (Dembele) is out until that period and Leigh (Griffiths) is up and down with his fitness then of course we would have to look to get one in.
"The idea is to maybe get one other player in before the end of the window but of course this period now between the games is very difficult to get one in.
"I am not one for stockpiling players. I don't want to bring in one for the sake of it.
"It needs to be the right quality and needs to be something that is right within the dynamics of the team and squad."
The former Swansea and Liverpool boss claims the pressure is now on Rosenborg for the return game.
"The game will open up over there," said Rodgers.
"There is huge pressure on them playing at home," added the Carnlough native.
"They will want to show that they are the team with the initiative and so that should open up a little more space."

You know that new biopic of Charles Darwin, directed by Jon Amiel (who also made The Core, for whatever that's worth), entitled Creation? Despite what the title suggests, it's quite reasonable and is fairly accurate to the reality of Darwin's loss of religious belief and to the origins of his groundbreaking Theory of Evolution. (For example, see Eugenie Scott's review here, or Roger Ebert's blog post.)
So, of course, Evolution-phobic America had to refuse to air the film in the U.S., citing fears of it being "too controversial".
As I said: you've got to be fucking kidding me.
A BRITISH film about Charles Darwin has failed to find a US distributor because his theory of evolution is too controversial for American audiences, according to its producer.
Creation, starring Briton Paul Bettany, details the naturalist's "struggle between faith and reason" as he wrote On the Origin of Species.
It depicts him as a man who loses faith in God after the death of his daughter, Annie, 10.
The film was chosen to open the Toronto Film Festival and has its British premiere today. It has been sold in almost every territory around the world, from Australia to Scandinavia.
However, US distributors turned down the film that will prove divisive in a country where, according to a Gallup poll taken in February, only 39 per cent of people believe in the theory of evolution.
39%? That's (slightly) better than the 36% it was a few years back … Though it's still fucking shite, of course.
As is, of course, the predicted reaction to the film from religiots:
Movieguide.org, an influential site that reviews films from a Christian perspective, described Darwin as the father of eugenics and denounced him as "a racist, a bigot and an 1800s naturalist whose legacy is mass murder". His "half-baked theory" influenced Adolf Hitler and led to "atrocities, crimes against humanity, cloning and genetic engineering", the site stated.
Wow. They probably had to dig deep and long to come up with nearly every single clichéd canard and lie about Darwin and the ToE.
You know … when I hear about a country banning a film for religious reasons, it makes me think of Afghanistan, Iraq, and other such culturally-retarded countries and places. Never would I guess America would be just as oversensitive to dissent – especially if this "dissent" comes in the form of a dramatized account of a man's life, and nothing more.
Apparently, I was wrong.

We let this one sit for a while, truth be told. Sometimes the older Best Picture winners are harder for me to muster excitement over. Cimarron won the Oscar in 1931, and was also one of only a few Westerns to ever win an Academy Award. It focuses on the story of Yancey Cravat, an adventure-seeking man with a past who participates in the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. When he fails to grab the piece of land he wants and is outsmarted by a young woman Dixie Lee, he regroups and takes his young bride Sabra and their son Cim (nickname for Cimarron, a word which is also used to refer to the Wild) to Osage. They realize on the way that a black servant from their former home in Kansas has stowed away with them – Isaiah – but they allow him to stay.
Osage terrifies Sabra at first. The town is newly forming, and there is a lot of violence and gambling. She worries about raising their child there, but the family soldiers on. Yancey takes it upon himself to rid the town of its bad element and ends up shooting the outlaw Lon Yountis. He sets up shop with The Osage Wigwam, a town paper, helping the burgeoning area to progress. Yancey is bold and masculine and extroverted, and quickly becomes a local hero. In the midst of this, he and Sabra, who has begun to like Osage, have a second child – a daughter Donna.
The interesting thing about Cimarron is that, central to the story, is not so much a conflict between protagonist and antagonist, but rather the dichotomous tension between the two main characters. The story follows the fictionalized town of Osage as it changes through the passing of time, first as a lawless frontier settlement, then a growing town taking it's place in the newly founded state of Oklahoma, and finally a modern city. Yancey is a true larger than life personality. He saunters into town literally as it is being built, he founds the church and newspaper and he shoots from the hip to protect the weak from town villains. Not only that, but he is a man of great principle. When propositioned with a scheme to cheat Indian groups, he sacrifices a potential political career by publishing editorials demanding Indians' rights. Later he defies popular opinion by defending a maligned prostitute. But he also bores easily, disappearing from his family for years at a stretch. If Yancey is the spirit of adventure embodied, Sabra is the spirit of stability, acting as editor of the paper while raising the family during Yancey's absences. Yancey is ahead of the curve; Sabra gets to the right place- eventually. Together they constitute the Yin and Yang of a society's progress, the sail and the anchor, so to speak. By the film's final sequence, in 1929, Sabra has become a pillar of the community, newly elected to the House of Representatives. Yancey has long since drifted on, but she never would have gotten there without him.
There are some other things I like about Cimarron. The opening credits are done tableau style wherein rather than a printed list, each actor poses alone and in character, outside the narrative, with the actor and character name shown. I've seen this done in earlier silents, but I can't place it in any talkies (Wes Anderson excepted). I like that we're watching something early enough that conventions of showing acting credits aren't firmly established. I have an affinity for deviations that break classical form and draw attention to the unreality of the film.
The story took place at intervals across four decades and I will say that if nothing else, the characters aged convincingly in front of the camera.
It's really difficult to not be distracted by racial representation in this film. There is a number of bizarre scenes with Isaiah, as the most prominent character of color – in one he is hanging from the ceiling in order to fan the white folks in attendance. He is made into a caricature a lot of the time. Even Yancey, supposedly a progressive person who sticks up for the rights of the Native Americans, does not invite Isaiah to participate in the church service he presides over for the town. He instead tasks Isaiah with going home and guarding the house, even though Isaiah asked to attend. Isaiah is relegated time and again to a position of second-class citizen.
Race comes up later in the film when Cim falls in love with a young Native American woman he has known most of his life. At first, Sabra cannot handle the relationship, but later on acknowledges and praises her while making a speech as a Congresswoman. It is powerful to see the characters have some measure of growth throughout the film. This is particularly true for Sabra, who gains the independence and drive to take over the editing of the paper in her husband's many absences. While the very different drives of the two characters drives them apart, it is clear they both have abiding respect for the spirit and determination of the other. It's people like Yancey who trailblaze to find new places to live and set up towns and cities – but it's the Sabras of the world who then put down the roots necessary to see those communities thrive.
The unsavory depiction of African-Americans in classical Hollywood is a subject that has been extensively discussed, including on this blog, and so to avoid beating a dead horse, I almost want to overlook this. Here we have a movie really trying to get some things right. Sabra's growth beyond her initial racism is a major theme in the movie. When I think of how Indians were portrayed in 1931, I think of stunt men in half-assed costumes serving as stock baddies for the heroes to shoot at. By the end of Cimarron, aside from a sympathetic depiction of an interracial marriage, we are introduced to a bespectacled man in a business suit who is identified as a representative of the Cherokee Nation. And this follows a scene in which a Jewish character ribs a snobbish blueblood that he can trace his roots further than her's- to the writing of the Ten Commandments. In light of all this, the buffoonery of the Isaiah character just sticks out, and not least of all because he's pretty much superfluous to the story. I could see them trying; I just wish they had tried a little harder.
Cimarron does show its age in some other ways. Richard Dix has his moments as Yancey, but sometimes I want to tell him to tone it down just a little, especially when he starts to sound like a bad Elvis impersonation. The includes some Western genre cliches, like Yancey's near-superhuman marksmanship and the hokey costumes don't let you forget you're watching a movie from 1931. Also confusing to me is the movie poster, which depicts Yancey brandishing a pistol, with his shirt falling off like some proto-Fabio. A search on the internet reveals an alternate poster in which it is the lady (I honestly can't tell which one) who is losing her garments. Perhaps there were separate ads aimed at men and women? Either way, they make the movie look a lot sexier than I remember it.
I laughed reading Chris' description of Yancey as Elvis-like, because it is pretty apt. In many ways, throughout the film Sabra is a foil to Yancey. He is bold and brazen and daring – but he is made more so because she is terrified, timid and safe. He benefits from her assuming this role. As the film progresses, we see Sabra come into her own. She has the confidence to run the paper, but the deference to continue publishing it under Yancey's name as editor despite the fact that she is doing all of the work. Heartbreakingly, she realizes that the things she loves him for – his passion, his daring, his thrill-seeking – are all things that will cause him to abandon her again and again. Yancey simply wasn't meant to be a family man, but it is clear that he does love those who are close to him as much as he can.
It's powerful to see Sabra assume a position of Congresswoman by the end of the story. In many ways, she is stepping out and forging new territory just as boldly as he is – if at a slower pace. When the two reconnect at the end of Yancey's life, it is clear how much they both loved and needed each other to become the bold people they did. There is a good lesson in this film about love existing even when you are not able to walk side by side with someone for all your days.
The Academy was obviously rewarding RKO for going big with Cimarron. It was a huge production that involved staging the Oklahoma land rush and building a virtual town to film in. The movie ran in the red during its initial release, something that wasn't helped by its release during the hard times of the Great Depression. Well received at the time, today it seems best remembered for having won one of the first Oscars. The runners-up are probably at least as obscure to modern audiences. There was a film that year that, despite getting no nominations, has remained a deeply influential part of modern culture. Tod Browning's Dracula cemented the modern vampire mythos and all but invented the horror film genre. It isn't difficult to imagine why The Academy chose the way it did, but it is interesting which movie has become truly iconic and which has become a bit of film trivia.
Not directly related to Cimarron, our DVD included "The Devil's Cabaret", a comedy short about an executive assistant to Satan trying to drum up business for Hell. I have no idea if it was part of the Cimarron theatrical release or if they just threw it on the disc, but we enjoyed it at least as much as the feature. Imagine an Art Deco afterlife, with dance numbers and Pre-Code naughtiness. Plus it was filmed in two strip technicolor, so think about that the next time some doof tries to tell you that The Wizard of Oz was the first color movie. Check it out.

This morning Sun rapped
not too gently on the doors
of my eyes. I knew who was there
immediately, but nonetheless
cracked the lids open
to his blaring reveille.
Sun barged in like an uninvited wind
and made himself home while I
still entertained Sleep and
her low humming songs.
In an awkward scene, she begged
my leave, for her quiet ways and
uninvited Sun's beaming personality
almost never share a room—
let alone a bed.
I bade her a sad farewell,
as Sun tousled my hair,
pulled back the covers and
called in his friend, Morning.
Last I looked, they were still
bouncing upon my bed.
I phoned Evening, inviting her
back for another visit.
She's yet to return my call.

Detective Pikachu isn't slated to hit theaters until May. But apparently Legendary Pictures and The Pokémon Company are already feeling quite confident. News is breaking that a Detective Pikachu sequel is already in the works.
Back in November, the studios dropped the first Detective Pikachu trailer. And shockingly to many, it was awesome. Since then, The Pokémon Company has been bullish on additional live action Pokémon films. With rumors last week indicating it was possible we would get live action renditions of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue in one feature film.
The original Game Boy games becoming movies is just speculation for the most part still. But The Hollywood Reporter cites credible sources which confirm that a Detective Pikachu sequel is already in progress.
The outlet states that Legendary Pictures has hired Oren Uziel to write the script for the potential sequel. Uziel has a few big name properties under his belt. He was credited as part of the writing team for 22 Jump Street, The Cloverfield Paradox, as well as the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie. We'll have to wait and see how the latter one pans out…
Rob Letterman is at the helm of May's initial Detective Pikachu movie. There's no word as of yet whether Letterman would be back for the titular character's next go around. The same applies to Ryan Reynolds as the voice of the character. Although, presumably, the powers that be would do all they could to woo the big time actor back for the Detective Pikachu sequel.
Hopefully all this sequel hype isn't for nothing and Legendary's live action gamble ends up a success in the theaters. We'll find out when Detective Pikachu officially takes his first case on May 10th.

Plankton form a diverse group of microscopic marine organisms living in the water column, unable to swim against the current - they exist in a drifting, floating, state. These unique 'specimens' relate to the pioneering discoveries made by marine biologist John Vaughn Thompson in Cork Harbour, Ireland during the 1800's.
Presented as microscopic samples, objects of plastic marine debris - recovered from the same location - mimic Thompson's early plankton discoveries. The work represents contamination of plastic particles in the natural environment, creating the perception of past scientific discoveries when organisms were free from plastic. Presenting new 'specimens' created from recovered debris serves as a metaphor for the ubiquity of plastic, encapsulating in miniature the larger problem of an imperfect world.
The movements of the recovered objects, recorded on camera over several seconds, represent individual plankton in the water column. Capturing the plastic on expired film with faulty cameras reinforces the notion of 'imperfection' in both technique and subject matter. Nomenclature is the description given to devising new scientific names, of which each specimen has been given, all containing the word 'plastic' hidden within the title.
Current scientific research has found that plankton ingest micro plastic particles, mistaking them for food. At the base of the food chain, they are a crucial source of food for many larger creatures. The potential impact on marine life and ultimately man itself is of vital concern. In terms of plankton, and of action, we are 'Beyond Drifting', and must bring into focus these 'Imperfectly Known Animals'.

SELBYVILLE, Del., June 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The portable air compressor market share is set to rise from $6bn in 2018 to USD 7 billion by 2024, according to a new Global Market Insights, Inc. report. Portable air compressors are used in many industrial applications such as operating tools, product finishing and painting, cutting and welding, etc. They are preferred in industries where the same equipment can be used at different locations for air supply. Technological advancements have enabled companies to manufacture portable air compressors which are more compact in shape, have larger flow capacity, are noise free, and more efficient than their counterparts. These advancements in design have increased product demand for more challenging operations where stationary types were largely preferred in the past. These trends will have a positive impact on the overall portable air compressor market.
Compressor usage is directly related to the manufacturing trends in a region. As such, fast-growing economies such as China, India, South Korea, Thailand, etc. have transformed into lucrative markets for portable air compressor manufacturers. Countries with mature manufacturing industries such as the U.S., Germany, Japan, France, etc. will also account for a significant share of the demand owing to their high manufacturing outputs.
Request a sample of this research report @ https://www.gminsights.com/request-sample/detail/2564
The market will undergo slow growth due to fluctuation in oil prices. The typical lifetime costs of air compressors are divided into its maintenance costs, equipment and installation, and energy costs; of which energy costs about 75%. This is due to the high demand for fuel to run the machines. Fluctuation in oil prices will lead to increased costs for operating the machines which in turn may hinder the portable air compressor market growth.
Based on technology, the industry is segmented into rotary and reciprocating; the former being further segmented into screw, scroll, and others. Reciprocating portable compressors are used for applications in the construction industry, automotive & aerospace sector, machine shops, and many other industries. This segment's market value is likely to be over USD 800 million by 2024.
Based on lubrication, the industry is bifurcated into oil free and oil filled. Oil filled portable air compressors are used for applications where the quality of air supplied is not of prime importance. They are used in mining, construction, manufacturing, and energy sectors. The market size of the segment is likely to exceed USD 5 billion by 2024.

This makes finding help that applies to my particular situation (WhiteHousePro3) very frustrating.

Wedding Photography Poses
Shashank Nakate
Feb 8, 2019
The wedding photos should have some predefined poses and a lot of candid moments have to to be captured by the photographer to be kept as a souvenir for the future.
One should click some standard or conventional-kind of snaps and innovative ideas should also be included. The wedding photography ideas provided here will help in capturing the best moments.
Professional photographers understand how to click photos with perfect light arrangements. One should approach a photographer beforehand and explain to him what one wishes to be captured during the wedding.
Standard photographs with poses should include all the family members. The checklist provided here will help you in keeping a track of all important photos. The main job is however, to capture the expressions of people.
Best Poses
The best photography poses in wedding are those which capture candid moments. With so many people and so many things going on at a wedding, it is actually a photographer's feast for capturing varied moments and expressions.
The couple should be the focus. The interaction of the couple with guests could also yield interesting expressions and moments to be captured. Capturing the moods in various moments is the job of a professional photographer.
The checklist for photography poses should include the given points grouped in sections like the wedding party, bride's family, groom's family and most importantly couple's photos.
For Wedding Party
✜ Bride with maid of honor
✜ Groom with best man
✜ Bride with all bridesmaids
✜ Groom with all groomsmen
✜ Bride and groom with best man and maid of honor
✜ Flower girl
✜ Ring bearer
Couple's Photos
The couple's pictures are most important.
✜ Bride and Groom
✜ Bride walking down the aisle to meet the groom
✜ Bride with bouquet
✜ Groom with bouquet
✜ Bride and Groom closeup
✜ Bride and Groom kissing
✜ Bride and Groom cutting cake
✜ Bride and Groom dancing
✜ Bride and Groom leaving
Bride's Family
The bride's family too needs to be focused as they are the family of the bride.
✜ Bride with her parents
✜ Bride with siblings
✜ Bride with the entire family
✜ Bride with grandparents
Groom's Family
The groom's family too needs to be included to complete the picture.
✜ Groom with Siblings
✜ Groom with grandparents
✜ Groom with the entire family
✜ Groom with Parents
Photography Poses and Tips
The following wedding photography tips will help in capturing perfect pictures without much difficulty.
The first thing to do is creating a checklist for poses. Meeting the family and knowing their expectations would be a great idea. It will help in sorting out most of the problems beforehand.
Clicking photos with children is the first thing to do. As we know that children have a short attention span, clicking their snaps in the beginning would let them be free to roam around later.
The photographer should never force his subjects to smile; it only makes the photos to appear unnatural.
One can never guess what is the perfect photograph idea from the point of view of the bride. It would be a smart thing to take the suggestion of the bride in deciding the perfect poses.
The photographer should constantly be on a lookout for perfect moments himself i.e. spontaneously. One cannot 'plan' everything about poses, apart from a few standard family photographs. To catch the most beautiful moments, one needs to have special skills to catch those tender moments.

The top four images are some well-known utopian/dystopian visions for how technology and the physical realm might co-exist in the future. These projects were a response to the political, ecological and social conditions of their time. Superstudio (continuous, pervasive, ubiquitous, free, minimal, open, meditative, formless, networked and infinite), Archigram (machinic, plugged-in, gadget-driven, superstructure enabled, socialist high-tech, episodic, pop), Dr. Strangelove's techno-bunker (bunkered, exclusive, clandestine, inbred, disconnected, paranoid, virtual), Buckminster Fuller's project for New York (isolated, protected, exclusive, hub, static, conditioned, inter-dependent, disconnected).
The bottom four images were also discussed in the seminar last night. They are examples of contemporary projects that suggest an entirely new set of ideas that might guide the future of our cities and landscapes. Descriptive words that were used to describe these projects were: Soft, Intelligent, Indeterminate, Networked, Interactive, Emergent, Atmospheric, Responsive, Bio-mimetic, Real-time, Information-driven, Sustainable, Smart, Metabolic ... How will these various ideas organize themselves to define our future physical environments? What are the politics underlying their potential manifestation both physically, ecologically and socially?

The first time I heard Randy Pausch's lecture I was inspired. The second time I was inspired and motivated. The third time I was inspired, motivated and actually made some changes in my life.
You get the point. No matter how many times I've heard this or read it, it evokes an emotion or an action. I hope it does the same for you.

Quadraspire Q4 Evo Wall Shelf
Decouple Any Component From Your FloorFor both the Standard aluminium wall bracket and the bamboo wall bracket we have developed new spike assemblies based on the design of the Bronze upgrade - one in Aluminium and one in Bronze. Clamping of the shelf is critical to performance but results in quite a tall spike assembly taking up more space than is necessary. Using the Bronze upgrade design we have been able to reduce the height and thereby the mass and improve performance as well. For the Aluiminium version we include a small bronze spike so that it has some of the benefits of Bronze performance.
Again all of this has been achieved through R & D and extensive listening tests using the tried and tested technique of tuning by ear in the same way as the finest musical instruments are developed.
The main design features of the Wall bracket spike assembly are the SVT curve design of the top bolt and the rounded spikes that together encourage any residual mechanical resonance to flow and dissipate more easily.
The assembly consists of a Top Bolt and Lock nut and then a small rounded spike and smaller locknut that screws into the top bolt – all engineered at our factory south of Bath. The upgrade can be easily fitted to the top shelf of a Wall bracket for the benefit of the source component placed onto that shelf. Any component placed on a shelf fitted with the bronze upgrade will have a noticeable improvement, music becomes more open and involving without loss of detail.

I absolutely adore libraries. I've got a very personal relationship with libraries, because when I was ten my family moved from Whales in the U.K. to Australia and I was terrified and I didn't fit in anywhere where I lived in Australia.
And I was the the little short Welsh kid that just didn't fit in. So I used to find the only place I could where I could be quiet and calm which was my school library.
My librarian who was lovely, who was American, actually, called Mrs. Adamson, took pity on me and took me under her wings. "OK Lucy, if you're in the library, that's brilliant, but while you're here, why don't you read."
So she gave me lots and lots and lots of books. And when I was young I didn't really read much at all. Suddenly coming to Australia and having all these books and reading, that really brought up my confidence and I fitted in.
I do use libraries, actually. I sometimes will do my very base writing in a library. So there's a library near us that's beautiful and quiet and I will quite often take my notebook before I get on to the computer and do my very initial writing, sort of sketching out chapters, and I like doing that.
I really enjoy going to the library to write.
Wow, [librarians] they're really, really important people. Something that really saddens me, that I heard not very long ago, is that there are still schools in the U.K. that don't have libraries or librarians. And that really, really shocked me because obviously my personal connection with librarians really helped me become a confident child, so I think librarians have an important role, a nurturing role really, to play in schools, as well as a knowledge giving role, too.
"Stolen," this is my first book. It's just been published in the States, so I'm over here with my wonderful editor, Barry Cunningham to promote "Stolen" to American audiences, which is just fantastic.
"Stolen" is about a sixteen year old girl from London called Gemma who is away on a family holiday and in the airport where she's changed planes, she meets an older, attractive and strangely familiar man called Ty, who ends up kidnapping her and who takes her to the middle of the great sand desert in Australia and holds her captive. And where, over time, her relationship changes a little bit towards both Ty, the kidnapper, and the desert he's taken her to.

This One Feminist Nancy Reagan Quote Proves It's All About Giving Women Choices
On Sunday, news broke that former first lady Nancy Reagan had died at age 94. The widow of Ronald Reagan had lived in California's posh Bel Air neighborhood with her husband after spending most of the1980s in the White House during her husband's two terms as president. While Reagan's first lady years are most famous for her "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign, even the notoriously traditional Nancy Reagan had a feminist side — or at least, some feminist moments.
During her husband's presidency, Reagan was asked (or criticized) for giving up her career as an actress to aide her husband's political ambitions and raise their family. However, Reagan pushed back against these judgments with a rather enlightened and expanded vision of feminism. In a 1985 interview with McCall's magazine, Reagan responded to feminist critiques that her professional sacrifices as going against feminist, saying, "Feminism is the ability to choose what you want to do."
Reagan went on to explain that it was her decision to walk away from her career, but the important point was that she was doing what she wanted. "And actually when you look at my life, I've really enjoyed the best of two worlds," Reagan said. "I chose to have a career, and I enjoyed it while I had it. . . . But then I met my husband, and I chose to give it up. . . . I'm doing what I want to do."
Throughout her time in the public eye, Reagan was not exactly a favorite among some feminist leaders. One of the most prominent feminist activists and author of The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan called Reagan "an anachronism . . . denying the reality of American women today and what they want to be.'' Reagan epitomized the expression 'stand by your man" and worked to project an image of the traditional, loyal housewife throughout her first lady tenure.
However, this aspect of Reagan's personality can also be seen as its own expression of power. She was famous for being fiercely protective of her husband and, in many ways, shepherding him through his presidency. As Eleanor Clift wrote of Reagan in The Daily Beast, "more became known about how she looked after his well-being politically and substantively in the White House."
National First Ladies Library historian Carl Anthony said of Reagan to USA Today, "There is a unique duality to her legacy: She was simultaneously a traditionalist and a maverick." He added that Reagan, "believed that her primary function in life was vigilant devotion to her husband, and would readily defy convention in order to do so."

Hello all!! It's Channin here and I have a new technique video to share!! I love paper art and papercutting and this love is what inspired this week's technique. X-acto knives and scalpels are the typical tools of the trade but luckily for us in the stamping world we have many dies at our disposal making mimicking this amazing art very easy and quick to boot! This week I'm altering some of the gorgeous leaves cut with the Greenery Die set to make some dimensional paper art inspired cards.
POST: [TT Video] Altering Diecuts to Make Paper Art Cards by Channin
Watch below or on our YouTube channel.
First, I created some marble patterned paper using the Layering Marble Stamp Set. There is a new Alignment Guide for this stamp set making positioning the layers a breeze! I used Waffle Flower's Like a Pro! Dye Ink, Brilliance Starlite Black, and VersaFine Onyx Black inks to stamp my marble patterned paper. Next, I cut 4 pots using the Pots Die set out of the marble patterned paper. I then gathered 4 different shades of green cardstock and cut several leaves using the Greenery Die set. Next, I cut several thin strips using scissors from the green cardstocks to create stems for my potted plants.
Then I arranged all my elements (stems, pot, and leaves) and held everything in place with washi tape once I got the arrangement just the way I wanted. As I arranged, however, I would often alter the leaves by trimming them or folding them to add dimension. Next, using liquid glue with my precision tip glue bottle I applied glue to my arrangement and then adhered it my 5x7 kraft cardbase. Once, my plant had dried I removed the washi tape and then stamped a sentiment using the Bowtiful Stamp Set.
For this second card (my favorite), I followed the same steps as above but I cut thin strips of paper from light khaki paper to create strings to make a hanging potted plant. The sentiment for this card is from the Potted Stamp Set.
Here is my last card. This one showcases the largest leaf from the Greenery Die set. The sentiment is from the Balloon Messages Stamp Set.
I hope you enjoyed!! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Accelerating implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHR) and strengthening emergency preparedness and response in the WHO European Region – A high-level meeting
13–15 February 2018, Munich, Germany
On 13–15 February 2018, over 150 senior public health and technical representatives from IHR signatory countries and entities, relevant international organizations and networks in the WHO European Region will meet in Munich, Germany, to define strategic regional approaches to strengthen emergency preparedness and response.
The high-level meeting will establish an interactive platform to accelerate implementation of the IHR (2005) through a lively mix of state-of-the-art presentations and storytelling from countries and partners with the aim of addressing new challenges to keep Europe and the world safe.
The meeting will also provide a unique opportunity to gather input from participants for the development of an IHR action plan tailored to regional needs, taking into account relevant WHO global strategies and plans. To this end, participants will be introduced to the WHO draft 5-year global strategic plan to improve public health preparedness and response (2018–2023) and to the Global action plan on antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
The meeting is organized with financial support from the Government of Germany.
Meeting objectives
The meeting adopts a holistic approach to health emergency preparedness and response. This includes looking at linkages between health systems, essential public health functions and IHR core capacities; addressing AMR as a public health hazard under the IHR; developing mechanisms for multisectoral and cross-border collaboration; and strengthening the role of National IHR Focal Points.
Expected outcome
The meeting will serve as a basis for the development of a regional IHR action plan to improve public health preparedness and response, which will be presented at the 68th session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe in September 2018.
About the IHR
The IHR (2005) provide an international legal framework for countries worldwide to protect people from epidemics and other health emergencies. Since their entry into force, WHO has been actively supporting countries in the WHO European Region to implement and maintain IHR core capacities to prevent, prepare, detect and respond to public health threats. Within the WHO Health Emergencies Programme, the IHR are a crucial tool for the management of health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, disasters and environmental crises.

The remotest B&B in S.A.?
Each time I have travelled from Brandkaros to Alexander Bay and back I have been intrigued by a sign at the side of the road, about 20 k's from Alexander Bay, that advertises a B&B. On my way back from Alexander Bay on Wednesday I determined to stop and have a look around.
You can't really miss it because of the brightly painted bits of scrap metal.
The B&B is managed by a mother and daughter team, Annemarie and Saome Reck, and is owned by someone living in Hong Kong. Annemarie started the B&B about 18 years ago and has managed it ever since under various owners. She is from the area as she and her husband used to farm nearby until he passed away.
There are 5 rooms, 3 inside and 2 outside, and also an extra house about a 100 meters away for when things get really get busy. Unfortunately it has not been too great recently as the pont at Sendelingsdrift is not working and people from Namibia can't cross over there and as a result they have had many cancellations. ( The same thing has happened at Brandkaros and I have been the only one staying there for days now.)
Mother and daughter are very friendly and were more than happy to show me around and for me to take photographs. Again I will let the pix speak and just offer a few comments. All I can say is that Annemarie has tried to be as creative as possible, without much to work with, and in fact many passers-by stop and ask if the place is also a museum.
It really is a bit like an oasis in the middle of a desert. That is the Orange River in the distance and the dark area between the road and the river used to be an olive plantation.
The charge per person per night is R250.00 and breakfast (R60.00) and dinner (R75.00) are extra. I reckon if one is passing through the area it would be a great and unique place to spend a night or two.

The Lorrain Home Plan design has many features and details usually seen in custom homes. Columns, arches, and ceiling details enhance and upgrade the look.
Open Concept Living
The spacious Kitchen provides open concept living with a Breakfast Bar and vast amounts of counter top space. The Powder Room is within easy access of both the Kitchen and Dining Room.
The Master Suite spoils the owners with a very private luxurious Bath, huge walk-in shower and closet, dual vanities, and a private garden. The Master is split from the Guest Bedrooms on the opposite side of the home.
The rear Lanai expands the living area outdoors through the Dining and Great Room.
A Den can easily be a Home Office, Study, Craft Room, or Play Area. Pocket doors close this off from the main areas. The plan features an option to switch the Dining and Den positions.
The open floor plan is great for family living or even entertaining. It lives much larger than the square footage actually is.
Designed into the Lorrain Home Plan are exclusive energy-saving techniques that when built to specs, can result in a 50% savings when compared to other new homes, 60-70% when compared to older homes.

This post is a collaboration with Brabantia.
Ihave to start this post off with a caveat: by my old (read: pre-baby), neat-freak standards, my house is not particularly clean right now. I mean, you'd look at it, and you'd probably think it looked OK – ish – but if you looked closer, you'd quickly realise your mistake, and would probably feel like you should start fundraising to help me pay for a cleaner or something.
(Dramatic? Me?! NON!)
(Truth, though: when I was pregnant with Max, I seriously considered getting a cleaner in at least once a week after he was born, just to help me stay on top on things, because I knew how much it would bother me not being able to keep the place as clean as I liked. In the end, I decided I couldn't justify the cost of it, but if I ever came into money – and/or managed to break my ASOS addiction – it'd be the first thing I'd do, for sure.)
My house might not be spotless, then, but it IS relatively tidy – with "relatively" being the operative word, there. That hasn't happened without a whole lot of planning on my part, though, so today I'm sharing five of the ways I keep my house tidy, even although I don't have nearly as much time as I'd like for cleaning.
Have less stuff
This is the cleaning tip I know no one really wants to hear, but, not to get all Marie Kondo on you, but the key to having a tidy house – and keeping it that way, even when you have a messy baby and husband to constantly undo all your good work – lies in having less stuff to start with. You just can't keep things tidy when you have piles of stuff everywhere, so, before Max was born, I had the mother of all clear-outs, and ruthlessly got rid of everything we didn't need. Everyone I told about this was all, "Oooh, nesting instincts kicking in!" but I was just like, "Er, no, I'm like this all the time." And I am. I try to have big clear-outs every few months, but I'll also do smaller ones (Like clearing out a drawer, or a shelf, or whatever) whenever I have a few minutes to spare. It makes it so much easier to keep the house clean, and, as an added bonus, I find it really satisfying, too. Yes, I know I'm strange. Moving on…
Keep cleaning products in the rooms you'll be using them
I used to keep all of my cleaning products under the kitchen sink, in a little plastic caddy designed to allow me to just pick it up and whisk around the house with it, cleaning as I went, a bit like the heroine in a Disney movie, only not even remotely like that, sorry, Amber.
I still have that little plastic caddy, and it still contains a staggering amount of products, but these days I also keep a small amount of cleaning products dotted around the house, too, so I can do a quick clean-up whenever I have the time for it, without having to go up and down to the kitchen to fetch my cleaning stuff. So, I keep things like bathroom cleaner, bleach, etc in all of the bathrooms, there's a mop on each floor (And vacuum cleaners on two of them), and I try to keep wipes near all of the sinks, so I can just quickly wipe them down after they've been used: I know this post probably makes it sound like cleaning is my hobby or something, but I'd much rather spend 30 seconds cleaning a sink once a day, than have to spend 30 minutes or more on it once a week, so this works for me.
Organise your trash
Before Max arrived, I seriously wouldn't have believed how much rubbish babies generate. I mean, they're TINY, right? And they just eat and sleep all day! How bad can it be REALLY?
Guys, it can be bad. As in, a few weeks after he was born, we had to call the council and ask them to give us a second bin, because the existing one was too small to hold all of the rubbish we were generating. (Most of it was nappies, to be fair, but we also seem to have a huge amount of cardboard packaging to dispose of every week because of all of the deliveries we get…) We were literally having to load up the car and drive to the local tip with it all once a week, because we couldn't get the lid closed on the outside bin: and while we were waiting to find the time for that journey, the rubbish would have to sit in the kitchen in plastic bags. Nice! NOT.
Happily, the council granted our request, so, if you open our back door now, you're immediately met with the sight of one blue bin (for paper and plastics) and two grey ones for general waste. Inside the house, meanwhile, we still have our two round Brabantia pedal bins in the kitchen, but we've now also added a second, rectangular one to the second floor of the house – partly because we needed the extra waste storage, but also so we don't have to go up and down to the kitchen every time we want to throw something out. Yes, we're lazy? What of it?
This is the Brabantia 'Bo' pedal bin, and it comes in a range of colours, which would be a great way to add a splash of colour to your home – assuming, of course, that you haven't decided to decorate everything white/neutral, like we have. (Hands up anyone whose even remotely surprised to hear that we went for white? No one? Didn't think so…)
It holds 36 litres, which has been really useful for us, but one of the biggest benefits is the fact that it can also have up to three separate compartments, so you can choose how best to organise your rubbish, and have lots of fun deciding which particular combination to go for. Will you just have one large compartment? Two medium sized ones? Three smaller ones? Er, is it just me, or is anyone else thinking they might now need THREE bins, just to be able to use all of the combinations?
As we already have a recycling bin in the kitchen, we just have the one single compartment in this one, which has worked out fine, as most of the rubbish generated in this room/the rest of the upstairs floors tends to all be the same type, anyway, but the thought of being able to divide things up into threes really appeals to the neat-freak side of me, too, I mean, it kind of takes organisation to a whole new level, doesn't it?
Like our other Brabantia bins, this one has a soft-close lid, which stays open as long as you need it to, rather than snapping down when you're in the middle of emptying something into it. Oh, and also like our other bins, for every one sold, Brabantia donates to The Ocean Cleanup, to help get rid of all of the plastic currently floating around in the world's oceans, so it's a bin with a conscience, too, which helps us feel just a little bit less guilty about all of the rubbish we're currently putting into it.
Tidy up before you go to bed
You know how relationship gurus are always talking about how you should never go to bed angry? I'd like to just add to that, by saying you should never go to bed UNTIDY, either. Or when your HOUSE is untidy, rather.
Honestly, it's a bit of a pain when you're dog tired, and just want to be in bed already, but I always take the time to quickly tidy up the living room, load the dishwasher, and wipe down the kitchen surfaces before I go to bed. It only takes a few minutes, but it means I get to come down to a tidy house in the morning, and honestly, it's hard enough to get out of bed some days without knowing I'm going to get up to a mess, too.
Finally, I don't have the time these days for the big, Friday afternoon deep-cleaning sessions I used to do, so, instead they've been substituted with:
I feel like this needs to be written in ALL CAPS, because that's how I feel when I'm doing it. I actually didn't know this had a name until I saw it on You Tube (Yeah, still obsessed with those speed-cleaning videos: I sometimes watch them when I'm trapped under a sleeping baby, and I find them oddly soothing, for some reason…), but it basically refers to those times when you only have an hour or so to spare, and you basically just knuckle down and blitz as much as you can in that time. Mine isn't always a full hour, but I make use of odd bits of time here and there to whip round the house tidying up and doing whatever needs attention the most. No, it'll never replace a top-to-toe deep clean, but I honestly can't remember the last time I did one of those, so this is the next best thing. Ph, and as an added bonus, it can be a pretty good workout, too. And, no, I don't remember the last time I did one of THOSE, either…

New Technologies for Air Conditioning Efficiency and Ease of Use
All air conditioners are not made the same. Air conditioners come in all different sizes. They can be installed as a split system with an indoor and outdoor unit or they can be placed on the rooftop as a packaged unit, with all of the components in one cabinet. They can use manual thermostats or digital programmable thermostats.
And today, there are more options than ever before, with new technologies that keep your air conditioner running as efficiently as possible (meaning a lower cost over time).
Two-Stage Communicating Systems
Most air conditioners only work at one speed. When you turn the temperature down further, you don't actually speed up the air conditioner; you simply make it run for longer. It cycles at one speed until it hits the temperature setting and then shuts off.
There are a couple of issues with this standard of AC engineering. For one, you don't always need the air conditioner to run at 100%, especially if you only need the temperature lowered by a degree or two. It wastes energy and it often misses the mark.
A two-stage communicating system has two speeds it can run at (and some AC systems have even more). If it has to cool the home by, say, 5°F, it will run at full speed. But to go from 78° to 77°, it only has to run at half the speed, using less energy to do so. Frankly, it's a lot quieter this way too!
Smart Thermostats
A smart thermostat can learn your temperature preferences from day-to-day in about a week! You'll never forget to reset the thermostat because it will do so automatically.
But the benefit the modern homeowner enjoys the most is the ability to readjust the thermostat from anywhere. You can control it from an application on your phone or tablet!

Contractual Networks, Inter-Firm Cooperation and Economic Growth
Edited by Fabrizio Cafaggi
Chapter 2: Cooperation, Long-term Relationships and Open-endedness in Contractual Networks
Fernando Gómez
* Fernando Gómez** INTRODUCTION 1. Unless the world current economic turmoil and its aftermath forces a reassessment of the situation, there seems to be a growing consensus among economists and organization theorists, based on empirical evidence, that contract has been gaining ground over ownership and authority as a means of organizing economic activity.1 In the old Coasean dichotomy between contract and firm,2 the former appears to be on the increase, though not necessarily in the neo-classical form of arm's-length contractual exchanges in the short term, but through more complex and extended relationships in which contractual links become components of networks of relationships. These networks may take and operate in different shapes and forms.3 What remains central in contract networks, as with economic exchange more generally, is the need to create a framework favourable to the development of means and tools to induce and sustain cooperation among the different participating agents. In fact, it is the failure to cooperate and the * I am grateful to Fabrizio Cafaggi, and to participants in the workshop at the European University Institute, for helpful discussions of the ideas reflected in this chapter, and to the Spanish Ministry of Innovation and Science for financial support, under grants SEJ2007-60503 and SEJ2005-10041, and to Marian Gili for excellent research assistance. ** Professor of Law and Economics, School of Law, Universitat Pompeu Fabra.

The Elephone U and U Pro are Elephone's newest smartphones, and flagships at the same time, and those of you who were thinking of getting one of those two handsets, well, you're in luck, as both phones will be discounted soon. These two phones were announced last month, and starting tomorrow (March 18) at 4PM UTC, you will be able to purchase the Elephone U and U Pro for $339.99 and $396.44, respectively. All you have to do is follow the link / banner provided down below. It is also worth noting that these are considerable discounts, as the Elephone U usually costs $389.99 on GearBest, while the Elephone U Pro is priced at $461.64.
These two smartphones look the same, they're both made out of metal and glass, while both phones also come with curved AMOLED display. A 5.99-inch fullHD+ (2160 x 1080) AMOLED display can be found on both of these handsets, and both phones sport a rear-facing fingerprint scanner, and a dual camera setup on the back. You will also find a curved display on both of those phones, while both devices offer 6GB of RAM and 128GB of native storage.

An 8-megapixel camera is included on the front side of both phones, while you will find two SIM card slots (2x nano SIM) inside of both devices. That is pretty much where the similarities between these two phones end, as there are some differences as well.
The Elephone U Pro, unlike the Elephone U, comes with wireless charging and an NFC chip. The Elephone U Pro is fueled by the Snapdragon 660 64-bit octa-core processor, while the Elephone U comes with the Helio P23 64-bit octa-core processor.
