Mozambique Oil & Gas: ENI says first export expected in 2022
Italian oil company ENI told Lusa on Monday that progress on the Rovuma basin project in Mozambique is on schedule and that the first export should take place in the second half of 2022.
"The development scheme envisages the construction of a floating liquefied natural gas platform with a production capacity of 3.4 metric tons of liquefied natural gas per year, powered by six production wells connected to an underwater production system," ENI told Lusa.
"Progress in the implementation of the activities [for the South Coral field] is on schedule and the start [of production] is expected for the second half of 2022," a spokeswoman for the Italian oil company, which on Friday presented last year's results.
The execution phase of Coral South, the first project on the huge gas reserves discovered in Mozambique, started in June 2017.
On Rovuma LNG, ENI and Exxon submitted a development plan to the government on July 5 last year and the government's response and the Final Investment Decision are expected this year, the oil company said.
The plan foresees the start of exploitation in 2024 and production of about 22 billion cubic feet over a period of 25 years, including 1.4 billion cubic feet for the Mozambican domestic market.
On Friday, ENI announced a net profit of EUR 4,226 million for 2018, 25% more than in 2017. Adjusted profit was EUR 4,592 million Euros, 93% more than in 2017.
During the meeting of the board of directors, a dividend of 0.83 Euros per share was proposed, of which 0.42 Euros per share had already been paid in September.
Net cash flow from the group's operating activities was EUR 13,651 million, 35% more than the EUR 10,117 million obtained in 2017, and financial debt was EUR 8,289 million, a decrease of 24% over the previous year, when it reached 10,916 million.
The company's hydrocarbon production reached a record high in 2018, standing at 1.85 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, representing a growth of 2.5% over 2017.

I have been told that there are three keys to professional success: love what you do, get rewarded for it, and make a difference to someone else. Physiotherapy checks all the boxes for me.

Popular video director who just started her YouTube Channel, Kemi Adetiba, recently started a nail polish trend, probably without even knowing it.
She had just purchased the Vane polish- a nail polish brand by Veronica Odeka- and must have fallen in love with the colors that she decided one color at a time was not enough. Som she went ahead to splash 2 different colours on.
Contrary to what many do by alternating the colours on each hand, Kemi opted for one colour for each hand. Surprisingly, the colours complimented each other so well that Veronica Odeka must be so proud to see them on Kemi.
Explaining the trend via her Instagram page, Kemi says, " I couldn't make up my mind @veronicaodeka, so I thought…. why not?!!" In another post she says, "Vane Polish made me do it".
We were able to pull out these 3 images below for you.

Oops, he did it again.
Chris Leben has been suspended for one year by the UFC for failing his drug test following his loss to Mark Munoz at UFC 138 this past Nov. 5, 2011, in Birmingham, England.
Leben tested positive for Oxycodone and Oxymorphine, two prescription painkillers.
Here's what UFC President Dana White had to say about the personal demons that have plagued Leben throughout his mixed martial arts career:
"I like Chris and I want him to do well, but based on his actions, he's been suspended for one year. If he needs professional help, we are going to be there for him. We want to see him succeed not only in the Octagon, but in his personal life."
This is the second time Leben has failed a drug test, the first coming after his unanimous decision loss to Michael Bisping following UFC 89 back in Oct. 2008.
That event, perhaps coincidentally, was also held in Birmingham, England.
Included in the UFC report announcing the drug test failure is a statement from Leben himself, who takes responsibility for his actions and accepts the punishment handed down to him.
"I would like to make it known that I fully accept this suspension and apologize for embarrassing the UFC, my friends and family, and sport of mixed martial arts. I'm learning that I'm my own worst enemy sometimes. I can't succeed in the Octagon or in life behaving this way. I've got to make some real changes over the next year and I'm going to focus on getting my life and career back on track. Again, I'm sorry to the UFC and fans that've supported me since my days on The Ultimate Fighter."
Because there is no drug testing overseas due to a lack of sanctions from athletic commissions, the UFC typically takes the matter in its own hands, both in testing and any and all ensuing punishment.
This being his second offense, the powers that be felt an entire year away from the sport was in order.
In the days leading up to UFC 138, Leben had trouble cutting weight for the contest, reportedly dropping 21 pounds in just 24 hours in order to go ahead with the bout. He eventually lost via second round technical knockout following a doctor stoppage via cut.
The 19 other fighters who competed on the card and were tested all passed with flying colors, according to the UFC.

Chooch Hits Three Run Homer, Continues to be Adorable
By Editorial Staff
Watching Prince Fielder play first base for the Detroit Tigers brings me back to my youth. The year is 1990. Detroit is captivated by a rotund slugger how proceeds to lead the majors in home runs, RBI and hamburger commercials starred in. He was the first player since George Foster in 1977 to hit 50 home runs and since this predated the steroid era, people seemed to be pretty happy about it. He was listed at 6'3″ and 230 pounds. Cecil Fielder's left leg probably weighed about 220, so this listing may have been slightly inaccurate.
Now here we are in 2012. Cecil's kid is the first baseman for the Tigers after signing a mammoth free agent deal. Prince is a little bit shorter, but he sure looks like he could win a pie eating contest against any major league player save Bartolo Colon. It makes me happy to watch star first basemen leave the National League while simultaneously harkening back to my youth. It doesn't hurt that he is heavy, thus making sprinting in any way shape or form an adventure. The new-look Tigers have a shit ton of fat guys that should probably be DHing and they welcomed the Phillies to Joker Marchant Stadium (???) to defend their undefeated spring record.
Roy Halladay gave up two home runs to Eric Patterson. This will never happen again. Doc started to get stretched out by throwing three innings. I always wonder how upset this type of outing makes Halladay. I think he would try to murder the Rich Dubee if he tried to take him out in the third inning. In his three innings Roy allowed three runs and four hits.
The offense didn't get going until a sixth inning Carlos Ruiz three run homer off of Adam Wilk. The Phillies followed the sixth with a four run seventh. The Phillies relief corps made the seven runs stand up on their way to a 7-5 victory.
I learned a few things about the Phillies in this game. Larry Andersen hates umpires more than any person in the world. Tyson Gilles is really, really fast and Detroit Tigers fans really like Brandon Inge.
Joe Blanton climbs the bump tomorrow against the Baltimore Orioles.

Ireland sits for Hurricane Ophelia
dublin - Ireland gets rid of the hurricane Ophelia, possibly the heaviest storm since more than fifty years that hit the country. In many parts of the country, schools remain closed on Monday, reports the Irish Times. The highlight of the storm is expected between Monday 9:00 AM (10:00 AM Dutch time) and Tuesday 3:00 AM.
According to the Irish meteorological service, the storm draws along the west coast towards Scotland. Wind speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour are expected. In some coastal areas, the army with sandbags is ready for floods. Power cuts also take into account. Airline KLM has six flights from Schiphol to Ireland and removed again for Monday.
Once over the UK, the storm will be diminished, but the UK authorities warn that road, rail and air traffic and ferry services may be hindered.

05 Sep Business Mistakes
Posted at 23:16h in Entrepreneurs, Leadership
I used to own a small business. It failed. Here are the four main mistakes I made that contributed to its failure:
- My business launch was under capitalized from day one. I had no reserves to start with. I didn't establish the habit of setting aside reserves. I lost market share over time because we couldn't stay visible enough. When the event of September 11, 2011 happened we didn't have the reserves to survive the financial set back.
- Poor job of screening and hiring. I wasn't clear on the qualifications, skills, or role responsibilities needed for the jobs we needed to fill, so I didn't hire the right people for the job. I didn't have job descriptions for my employees, so they weren't clear on their expectations.
- I kept people too long when it was clear they did not fit or weren't performing up to par. I was afraid of the burden on the rest of the staff to be short-handed. Sometimes this cost a loss of morale, because I was tolerating poor performance from one of their peers too long!
- I didn't utilize outside resources, partly because we didn't have the money to pay for professional services, but also because I let my business partner insist that "we can do it ourselves."
Perspective about Business Mistakes
My business failed, but I didn't! I succeeded in gaining a master's degree equivalent of personal and professional learning. My next venture…well I made mistakes, but they weren't the same ones!
I hope you can learn from my mistakes. But, it's also important to ask yourself this question as an ongoing inquiry: How well am I learning from my own mistakes?
"Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, 'I have failed three times' and what happens when he says 'I am a failure.' "

Artificial intelligence has already crept into our cars, our homes, and our phones. It's changed how nations communicate, but can it transform how they wage war? Maybe. Do we want it to? Maybe not. These questions sound like they came out of a science fiction novel, but autonomous weapons — those that can select and attack targets without human intervention — have been under development for decades.
A robot on the battlefield is no longer a science fiction trope.
We've already seen imagined technology become the reality in war — tanks, landmines, nuclear bombs, and long-range missiles are all prime examples of this advancement. Armed forces have been using remotely controlled, unmanned vehicles since as early as World War II. And the development of autonomous military technology has grown rapidly since the Vietnam War. One study at Arizona State University's Global Security Initiative shows that while there were no weapons with homing capabilities in 1965, there were almost 175 such weapons in 2015.
Simple autonomous functions like homing and navigation first emerged in the 1960s and '70s, and expanded in later decades to include more advanced technology like target identification and firing. The surveillance drones of the '90s gave way to remotely controlled armed drones for counterterrorism efforts after 9/11.
Military systems are seeing more autonomy as the years go by, veering close to full autonomy. Advances in computer image processing allow weapons to better distinguish targets and are already being incorporated into weaponry. "They represent a new frontier of autonomy," writes Dr. Heather Roff of the Arizona State University findings.
The barrier to full autonomy — the human operator — could be removed in the future, triggering a larger ethical debate around the use of autonomous weapons.
Advocates say the precision of autonomous weapons could keep civilians safer.
Proponents of autonomous weapons suggest that they could actually make war more humane. They'd be so precise in their targeting that they'd perform even better than their human counterparts, keeping civilians safe and only attacking what they've been programmed to attack. They wouldn't fall prey to human emotions of fear or vengeance, firing out of fear or committing torture. "You don't get emotion. You don't get anger. You don't get revenge. You don't get panic and confusion. You don't get perversity, in the sense that machinery won't go rogue," says Dr. William Boothby, a former lawyer and air commodore for the Royal Air Force.
Champions even remind us that technologies originally developed as weapons in the past have been used as some of the greatest innovations of our time. Ballistic missiles modified into rockets reached outer space and became the predecessors to space exploration vehicles. The toxic compounds in World War II-era mustard gas served as models for substances that could kill cancer cells. And many of the researchers and scientists behind the atom bomb aimed to control nuclear power and turn it into an energy solution.
Opponents argue autonomous weapons lack the context clues to make life and death decisions.
Critics of autonomous weapons argue that machines lack the vital context clues they need to make decisions, putting civilians at risk. A human combatant can distinguish between a soldier with a gun and a civilian trying to protect his or her home. The combatant can rely on practical knowledge and an understanding of social cues to make a judgment call. He or she can also use inner ethics to judge if a command is questionable. A robot can't necessarily do all that; distinction is difficult to build into a machine. It could kill the wrong people, even commit war crimes based on how it's programmed. "While [lethal autonomous robotics] may thus in some ways be able to make certain assessments more accurately and faster than humans, they are in other ways more limited, often because they have restricted abilities to interpret context and to make value-based calculations," writes Christof Heyns, a UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions.
Extremely precise weapons are so powerful that a mistake could result in excessive force and unnecessary death. Some nations have already made tragic miscalculations. In 2003, a remotely controlled air defense system mistook allied planes for enemy jets and shot them down, on two separate occasions. "The causes of the fratricides were a complex mix of human and machine failures," writes Dr. John Hawley at the Center for a New American Security. And opponents worry that autonomous weapons could even be mass-produced and fall into the wrong hands.
Machines can't follow the rules of war. Only humans can.
So how can militaries prevent machines from violating the rules of war? Maintain human control. At the end of the day, international humanitarian law (paraphrased below) is meant to be followed by people:
You have to be able to tell apart combatants and civilians.
You can only use force that's necessary.
You can't cause excessive civilian death.
Any doubt about the situation, and you shouldn't attack.
Only humans can be held accountable for acts of war. They are the ones who wage battle, after all. The International Committee of the Red Cross, and all those concerned about the impacts of war, advocate for human control over all weapons and methods of warfare. By keeping people at the helm, the world is doing whatever it can to keep civilians and combatants safe.

the designers
the collaboration
how they work
Although they are both designers, Maud and Pierre-Henri work in very different fields. However…
Maud creates paper items, and her working method is all but conventional. In her creations, she uses high quality papers, with many sparkling colours, that she places on top of each other.
As for Pierre-Henri, he creates contemporary pieces of furniture in veneer or solid wood. Indeed, with its many essences, wood offers a large panel of natural tints and remarkable shades.
Making a colorimetric choice for the coherence of your work is never an easy task. But despite their differences, Maud and Pierre-Henri proceed in a similar way.
They compare their samples on top of each other and compare them in order to decide and make an objective choice.
the concept
Pierre-Henri discovered Maud's work on television and was so impressed that he decided to get in touch with her.
He suggested a collaboration on a common project of contemporary and innovative furniture, combining their technical skills and artistic worlds with only one fundamental basis: superposition.
the design
the visual identity
An accomplished and efficient creation, is a creation with a strong visual identity that that will bring emotions and feelings to the spectator.
Rapidly, the designers decide to focus on one of Maud's works called Flora. The accurate drawing, the play of light and shadow, the bright colours convey beauty, freshness and poetry.
The way to go becomes an evidence, and the work to come will focus on one particular pattern.
the technique
As an analogy to Maud's work, Pierre-Henri concentrates on the industrial method used in making of layered wood panels.
Consisting of the superposition of crossed layers of wood veneers, these panels, which are mainly used for furniture and layout, offer stability and mechanical features beyond compare.
Thus, the technical process was found.
Then remained the choice of the appropriate material which had to be resistant, thin, colourful, easily manufactured and at the same time able to keep its mechanical qualities: mass-coloured laminate.
the prototype
the benchmark of laminate
What is more natural than to choose the brand we automatically think of when you talk about laminate and the brand everyone knows...
This is exactly what Maud and Pierre-Henri decided to do when they contacted Formica Group. And it worked!
Convinced by their creativity and their daring project, Formica Group accepted to be part of the adventure. The brand gave them special conditions for the supply of the laminate mass coloured sheets from ColorCore® so sought after by designers.
The manufacturing of the prototype of the sideboard could now be launched.
Thus, FLOWA was born.

10 ways my toddlers taught me to be a better traveler- 7 minutes read - 1298 words
Traveling around the world with twin toddlers sure can be challenging to say the least. Everything requires planning far ahead and plans change constantly when something distracts them or they need a break or nap. For all the difficulty though, adapting to traveling with them has actually taught me a ton about traveling and making the most of a trip. From slowing things down to being more friendly, it's amazing how much two two-year-olds can teach their parents about enjoying travel.
After trips to Norway, Portugal, and Seattle with the boys, I started adjusting how we travel to ensure we had good trips together. Now though, even when I go somewhere myself, I find myself following some of the things I've learned and picked up from them. Even though we picked up a lot of these practices in order to make traveling with kids easier, we found enough to be beneficial that we've started following them even without the kids.
1. Get going early. Between jet lag and a schedule which usually sees our days begin before 7am, if not earlier, we get going early when we have the boys with us. Now, I, never a morning person, tend to wake up the same time and get going early on. It means time to enjoy a coffee and get out to see whatever city and sights I'm exploring for the day. It does also tend to mean going to bed early too, but at least I end up maximizing the daylight hours and see most of the sights before others have even begun their days.
2. Don't skip the museums. I've never been a big museum fan, even the most famous ones like the Louvre, Prado, and British Museum weren't places I'd choose to spend a day. I also never thought a museum would be a good place to entertain a child, but discovered I was wrong in Seattle. The museum of flight kept our kids busy for most of a day. When we went to Stockholm, we visited four museums over two days and loved each one due to different interesting things to see and learn about, from ABBA to medieval carriages to a 17th century ship. These are especially good ways to spend days with less than perfect weather.
3. Don't be a transportation snob. With kids that love every form of transportation, we've ended up taking just about every type of car, boat, bus, plane, and train there is. While I had preferred using taxis and Ubers when traveling alone, the difficulty in traveling safely with two toddlers meant we relied heavily on public transportation. Now when possible, I skip the car and use whatever public transportation I can find. In many places this is actually the best way to see much of the city as well as get a better sense of the local culture. In Sweden we ended up discovering beautiful art across the subway stations and got incredible views of the city skyline from a unique perspective on the water on the ferry.
4. Use them walking feet. I used to think getting anywhere more than a five minute walk meant I needed a taxi. With kids, packing up the stroller, getting buckled in to seats, and then reversing the whole process meant that we became much more willing to walk around. We also found that walking meant seeing more of a place up close and gives access you wouldn't otherwise have. It's also way more healthy and means enjoying more of the local cuisine without guilt. It's rare for me to have a day on vacation with fewer than 20,000 steps.
5. Enjoy al fresco dining. With kids, especially toddlers who can get rowdy, the best choice for dinner seating is outside where possible. Even in colder months, as long as there is a heater, I prefer to sit outside now. More and more time siting outside with the kids means that now even when alone, I prefer a good restaurant with a great outside to a trendy upscale one inside. Siting outside often means there's a better view of town or the surrounding area as well, fitting in with exploration of the area.
6. Skip the tourist traps. I suppose I never really spent a lot of time at tourist traps, but exploring around with kids means there's just no time to spend and get caught up in a trap. Now I avoid the traditional tourist spots like the plague both with the boys and without. There's just no time to see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.
7. Eat anything and everything. The boys never turn down a meal or refuse anything on offer. They've enjoyed Portuguese grilled liver and blood sausages, Norwegian herring, and squid. I've learned that not only is it not worth it to be a picker eater from them, but that it's best to embrace the local culture through the cuisine and not to turn anything down. It's the best way to discover something I never expected to like, such as a herring focused buffet in Stockholm that was incredible, or discovering a love for raw Norwegian salmon.
8. Say hi to everyone. As a WASP from Pennsylvania with Danish descent, I'm usually a pretty quiet and inwardly focused person, especially in unfamiliar locales. On vacation, I usually try to fit in by being as quiet as possible and don't get dragged into many conversations. I don't know where they got it from, but my boys are like two candidates for mayor parading around town waving and yelling "hi" at everyone. Taking a page from their book, I've tried to open up more when away from home and actually engage in conversation with locals. I've discovered recommendations and hidden gems already this way, including discovering breweries in Stockholm and fantastic restaurants in Berlin.
9. Enjoy the journey, not just the destination. Most people on airplanes and busses are miserable, just looking forward to getting off and to wherever they are going. I'm usually one of them. My kids though, literally enjoy planes so much they bounce up and down on the seat and get yelled at for shoving their faces against windows. I was expecting our flight to Seattle to be an epic tribulation involving hours of their boredom. Instead, they sat and watched out the window and told everyone that they were on an airplane for the entire trip. I don't get to the point where I point out every car, truck, and airplane I see through the window, but I have learned to take things more positively and sit back and enjoy the ride.
10. Stop and enjoy the sights. Just like the flight itself, the best parts of vacations aren't always the planned sights and destinations. My boys love to disrupt plans by stopping to take in something unplanned like watching boats on the water, chirping at birds, or deciding that we have to go another way. Like them, I now try to stop periodically just to take in my surroundings and look for new experiences. In Berlin we discovered an awesome beer garden tucked away from sight this way.
Kids are never to young to teach their parents new tricks. When the boys were born, I didn't want to change my approach to traveling and sacrifice what I loved. Instead, I've actually learned a much better approach from traveling and observing the boys and how they take in new experiences. Learning to fully embrace the local sights and culture and to slow down and look for enjoyment in every moment has made me enjoy travel even more. While I prefer to travel and share experience with the boys, when that isn't possible, these lessons have also improved my solo travels.

The Bears' return to relevance seems to please NBC's Al Michaels, but perhaps not as much as it pleases NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"I remember John Madden, years ago, used to say, 'It's good for the league when Chicago is good,' and he's right," said Michaels, the consummate play-by-play pro of "Sunday Night Football," which will feature the Bears yet again this weekend.
"The Bears — it's just the history of the franchise, which goes all the way back. When you say, 'Chicago is on,' people pay attention, and especially now that they're good again."
The Bears at 8-4 do indeed seem to be good again, last week's stumble against the Giants notwithstanding.
They're good enough at least to be flexed into the NFL's leading prime-time showcase for a second time in four games, taking on the league-leading 11-1 Rams at Soldier Field, after only two "SNF" appearances over the previous three substandard seasons.
Chicago's return to playoff conversations has Michaels — who worked alongside Madden when the Hall of Fame coach was still broadcasting football games rather than just lending his name to one — returning to Chicago with analyst Cris Collinsworth.
"It's an ascendant team, there's no question about it," Michaels said of Matt Nagy, Vic Fangio, Mitch Trubisky, Tarik Cohen, Khalil Mack, Roquan Smith and the rest of the Halas Hall contingent.
"This game is going to have a lot of buzz. The Rams are back. Chicago's back. … The whole thing sets up really nicely. I've told a couple people the last couple days the game we have and they go, 'Yeah!'"
After the Bears' road loss to the Packers in their opener and victory over the second-place Vikings last month, this marks the first time since 2009 that the Bears have had three NBC prime-time games in a season.
(Add NBC's coverage of the Bears' preseason opener against the Ravens in Canton, Ohio, and it's the fourth.)
This also is the first time since 2006 that Michaels and "SNF" have traveled to Chicago for Bears games twice in a single season.
"And, hey, we could see them again before it's all said and done," Michaels said.
If the Bears fail to lock up the division early and a playoff berth remains on the line, NBC has the option to pick up the Dec. 30 season finale on the road against the Vikings.

[ READ MORE: David Haugh: Sunday night vs. the Rams is more must-see than must-win for the Bears ]
Yet even that might not be all.
"We're doing a wild-card game as we always do and a divisional playoff game as we always do," Michaels said. "So who knows? I mean, this will be four, including preseason, and it could be as many as six, I guess."
Like Madden, Michaels enjoys dropping in the occasional reference to Sid Luckman, who sadly remains nonpareil among Bears quarterbacks 68 years after his retirement and 20 years after his death.
Another old-time Bear whose name Michaels is wont to slip into a telecast is Johnny Morris, the former Chicago sportscaster who remains the franchise's leading receiver 51 years after leaving the game with 5,059 yards and 31 touchdowns on 356 receptions.
The two names illustrate the sort of offense the Bears have tended to rely upon — or, more specifically, not rely upon — over the years. But there's also a personal connection.
Michaels loves to recall how, as a youth in Brooklyn, he was playing punchball — a variation on stickball minus the stick — when he and the other kids spotted Luckman, who lived nearby, and convinced the ex-QB to play with them.
Meanwhile, Michaels' first network football broadcast, as a fill-in for NBC on a Bills-Vikings game in 1971, was with Morris as his commentator. Four years later, when he began to do games for CBS, his first partner again was Morris.
Michaels' moves to ABC and later back to NBC came later.
Sunday's matchup looks to be classic "SNF," with two division-leading teams led by two of the hottest young coaches in Nagy and the Rams' Sean McVay, two much-discussed quarterbacks in Trubisky and the Rams' Jared Goff, a candidate for most valuable player, defensive stars and more.
"You've got the (Rams') high-octane offense against the Bears defense, but the Bears can score as well," Michaels said. "I don't want to say it's an Achilles' heel for the Rams because they're 11-1, but their defense is not of the caliber of their offense, even though Aaron Donald is off the charts.
Chicago Tribune Sports
"You've got Khalil Mack on one side and Aaron Donald on the other side, two guys who could be defensive player of the year, and people are talking about Aaron Donald as the MVP, period. That would be very difficult for an interior lineman, but the guy's got 16½ sacks, which is almost impossible when you play his position. So you've got that.
"You look at the defensive coordinators. You've got two guys with great histories who've been around a long time. (The Bears' Vic) Fangio on one side. (The Rams') Wade Phillips on the other side. That's an interesting little chess match."
It's good for the Bears, good for the NFL and good for Michaels, who until the Vikings game hadn't had called a game in Chicago since 2012.
"I always get excited when I come in from the airport," Michaels said. "That's as beautiful a skyline as you'll see anywhere in the world. Spectacular. I don't have to tell you. It's got a great feel. Good restaurants. Good everything there."
Including, for the first time in years, the Bears.

Film: dead or alive?
The film vs digital debate, which has been raging since the day independent cinema directors and DOPs – followed shortly by the big studios – started shooting digitally in the late 1990s, reached a climactic point last month when the once all-powerful Eastman Kodak filed for bankruptcy.
It's almost ironic that Kodak's troubles coincided with Hollywood's rediscovery and celebration of the early days of cinema via the Oscar-winning The Artist (a French black and white silent film about a 1920s movie star's inability to cope with the rise of the 'talkies') and Hugo (Martin Scorsese's 3D love letter to science fiction and visual effects pioneer Georges Méliès , which also raises the importance of film preservation). The subject matter of both films, usually of interest to only a small group of film buffs, academics and historians, has been embraced by both mainstream media and international audiences.
Kodak's misfortunes, however, seem to confirm what many have been saying for years: that film is dying a slow, painful death. But many others, particularly in the archiving and preservation sector, vigorously disagree. It's true that film is struggling to maintain its relevance as a capture and projection medium, but it is still irreplaceable when it comes to ensuring that our audiovisual history, past, present and future, is properly preserved.
In an article recently published by The Toronto Star entitled 'Is cinema facing a digital dark age?', former NFSA CEO and current George Eastman House Motion Picture curator Paolo Cherchi Usai argued that the original cinema experience – 35mm film projected at 16 or 24 frames per second – is being 'museumified'. In other words, archives and museums will be the only places offering the traditional film experience, and future audiences won't know what films looked like in their original form.
NFSA Senior Curator Meg Labrum is more optimistic, and believes the current silent film awareness boost via The Artist, the overwhelming film/digital preservation debate heightened by Kodak's troubles and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences release of the 'The digital dilemma – Part 2 make this the right moment to get the public's attention around these issues.
'Paolo's comments reflect a worldwide archival debate as we see traditional film giants like Kodak readjusting to the digital age, a new generation responding to silent cinema via The Artist, and Scorsese's Hugo celebrating one of the world's earliest silent cinema heroes, Georges Méliès,' said Labrum.
'The original cinema experience – with projected film, flicker, light and sound as part of that unique performance – is different from the digital cinema presentation which is today becoming the norm. One of the biggest challenges for archives is to support both of these approaches,' she added.
Former NFSA Development Manager Dominic Case discussed the problems facing film archives extensively on this blog and, in an interview with Radio National, our CEO Michael Loebenstein explained why archives still prefer film for long-term preservation purposes.
'The real problem is that with film, we know that if we use modern stock and keep it under certain conditions, we can preserve it for 150-300 years. It's not a problem; the technology will be there, and it is simple technology,' said Loebenstein.'But with the digital formats of today, every couple of years you have to migrate your content from one storage medium to the next, and not only that, but you must also think about the file formats… try playing back a file format from 1996 today; you'll be in trouble.'
Labrum added: 'Analogue film is still the stable preservation format for moving image, and projected film remains one of the unique cinema experiences which we need to sustain as long as possible. The vast wealth of preserved cinema from the past century exists partially in both worlds – preserved as film and sometimes translated into digital form. Today's productions are increasingly purely digital, so archives face major challenges to sustain both the end point, the cinema or exhibition experience, and the preservation of the production itself so that it can continue to be seen beyond the now. The future of film production is a hot topic and the stability of digital platforms continues to develop. We live in exciting times.'
So don't bet on film becoming a relic of ancient times… at least not today, and not anytime soon.

These should be the best of times for geriatric medicine.
The baby boom has become a senior surge, bringing in a rapidly growing pool of aging patients for geriatricians to treat. According to the US Census Bureau, more than 56 million adults aged 65 and older live in the United States. They account for about 17% of the nation's population. That number is expected to hit 73 million by 2030 and 86 million by 2050.
The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) estimates that 30% of older people require the attention of geriatricians. These clinicians excel in managing complex cases ― patients with multiple comorbidities, such as coronary artery disease, dementia, and osteoporosis, who are taking a half dozen, and often more, medications.
But instead of thriving, geriatrics as a medical specialty appears to be hobbling. In the 2010s, geriatricians called for "25,000 [such specialists] by 2025." As of 2021, 7123 certified geriatricians were practicing in the United States, according to the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a federal agency that addresses medical workforce shortages, estimates that there will be 6230 geriatricians by 2025, or approximately 1 for every 3000 older adults requiring geriatric care. HRSA projects a shortage of 27,000 geriatricians by 2025.
The specialty has faced an uphill battle to attract fellows. This year, only 43% of the nation's 177 geriatrics fellowship slots were filled, according to last month's National Resident Match Program report. Family medicine–based geriatrics achieved only a 32% fill rate, while internal medicine–based programs saw a rate of 45%.
"Our numbers are shrinking so we need another approach to make sure older adults get the care they need and deserve," said G. Michael Harper, MD, president of the 6000-member AGS.
But Harper, who practices at the University of California, San Francisco, and the San Francisco VA Medical Center, added a positive note: "We may be struggling to increase the number of board-certified geriatricians, but the field itself has made a lot of progress in terms of improving clinical care through advancements in science and in the ways we deliver care."
Harper cited the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP), a hospital model developed at the Harvard-affiliated Marcus Institute for Aging Research, which uses an interprofessional team and trained volunteers to prevent delirium and functional decline. HELP has been adopted by more than 200 hospitals worldwide and has been successful at returning older adults to their homes or previous living situations with maintained or improved ability to function, he said.
Mark Supiano, MD, professor and chief of geriatrics at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City, said the specialty has been in shortage mode since ABMS recognized it in 1988. He was in the initial cohort of fellowship-trained geriatricians, sitting for the first certifying exam in geriatrics offered that year.
"Back then, the demographic imperative of the aging of our society was on the horizon. We're living it now. I knew enough to recognize it was coming and saw an opportunity," Supiano told Medscape Medical News. "There was so much then that we didn't know about how to understand aging or how to care for older adults that there really was such a knowledge gap."
Supiano is an associate editor of Hazzard's Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology (McGraw-Hill Education), which has more than doubled in pages and word count during his career.
Unfavorable Finances
Katherine Thompson, MD, director of the geriatrics fellowship program at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and co-director of UChicago's Successful Aging and Frailty Evaluation (SAFE) Clinic, said money is a major reason for the struggle. "I think probably the biggest driver is financial," she said. "A lot of people are graduating medical school with really astronomical amounts of medical school loans."
Geriatricians, like other doctors, carry a large debt ― $200,000, on average, not counting undergraduate debt, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
But the typical geriatrician earns less than an internist or family medicine doctor who doesn't undergo the additional year of training, Thompson said. "There's not a lot of financial motivation to do this fellowship," she said.
The jobs website Zippia reports that geriatricians earned roughly $165,000 per year on average in 2022. The average annual incomes in 2022 were $191,000 for pediatricians, $215,000 for family physicians, and $223,000 for internists, according to the site.
In other words, Harper said, "geriatrics is one of the few professions where you can actually do additional training and make less money."
The reason for the pay issue is simple: Geriatricians treat patients covered by Medicare, whose reimbursement schedules lag behind those of commercial insurers. The Kaiser Family Foundation reported in 2020 that private insurance paid 143% of Medicare rates on average for physician services.
Harper said overall compensation for geriatricians has "not gained a lot of traction," but they can earn comfortable livings.
Still, representation of the specialty on the American Medical Association's Relative Value Scale Update Committee has led to approval by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of billing codes that pay geriatricians "for what they do. Examples include chronic care management, advance care planning, and dementia evaluation," he said.
But the geriatrician gap goes beyond money.
Ageism, too, may play a role in residents not choosing geriatrics.
"Our culture is ageist. It definitely focuses on youth and looks at aging as being loss rather than just a change in what works well and what doesn't work well," said Mary Tinetti, MD, a geriatrician and researcher at Yale School of Medicine, in New Haven, Connecticut. "Ageism happens among physicians, just because they're part of the broader society."
Time for a New Goal?
Tinetti said she's optimistic that new ideas about geriatricians teaching other primary care clinicians about the tenets of geriatric medicine, which offer a wholistic approach to comorbidities, such as diabetes, atrial fibrillation, dementia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and polypharmacy problems faced by this population, especially those 85 and older.
She has called on her profession to abandon the goal of increasing the numbers of board-certified geriatricians ― whom she refers to as big "G" geriatricians. She instead wants to develop a "small, elite workforce" that discovers and tests geriatrics principles through research, teaches these principles to all healthcare professions and to the public, and disseminates and implements the policies.
"We need a cadre of geriatricians who train all other clinicians in the care of older adults," Tinetti said. "The goal is not more geriatricians but rather the preparation of all clinicians in the care of older adults."
Thompson said geriatricians are teaching primary care specialists, nurses, social workers, and other healthcare providers the principles of age-friendly care. AGS has for the past 20 years led a program called the Geriatrics for Specialists Initiative to increase geriatrics knowledge and expertise of surgical and medical specialists.
Some specialties have taken the cue and have added geriatrics-related hyphens through additional training: geriatric-emergency, geriatric-general surgery, geriatric-hospitalists, and more.
HRSA runs programs to encourage physicians to train as geriatricians and geriatrics faculty, and it encourages the geriatrics interdisciplinary team approach.
Richard Olague, director of public affairs for HRSA, said his agency has invested over $160 million over the past 4 years in the education and training of geriatricians and other healthcare professionals who care for the elderly through its Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program and Geriatrics Academic Career Awards Program. In the academic year 2020–2021, the two programs trained 109 geriatricians; 456 other geriatric/gerontology providers and students; 44,450 other healthcare workforce professionals and students; and served 17,666 patients and 5409 caregivers.
Harper, like his fellow geriatricians, tells young doctors that geriatrics is a fulfilling specialty.
"I get to care for the whole person and sometimes their families, too, and in the process form rich and meaningful relationships. And while I'm rarely in the position to cure, I always have the ability to care," he said. "Sometimes that can mean being an advocate trying to make sure my patients receive the care they need, and other times it might mean protecting them from burdensome care that is unlikely to lead to any meaningful benefit. There is great reward in all of that."
Supiano said geriatric patients are being helped by the Age-Friendly Health System initiative of the John A. Hartford Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in partnership with the American Hospital Association and the Catholic Health Association of the United States. This is sort of a seal of approval for facilities committed to age-friendly care.
"When you go to your hospital, if they don't have this age-friendly health system banner on the front door...you either ask why that is not there, or you vote with your feet and go to another health system that is age-friendly," he said. "Geriatricians are eternal optimists."

Many programming languages regularly release new versions that add or deprecate features, fix bugs, and introduce breaking changes. To help developers switch between versions easily, several language communities have version managers (like NVM for Node.js or Rbenv for Ruby). When you need to switch versions of multiple languages at once, however, the ASDF version manager ensures each project has the environment it needs.
This is especially important in Elixir projects, which require the Erlang runtime. In this guide, you'll learn how to install specific versions of Elixir and Erlang/OTP using the ASDF version manager on macOS or Linux.
The ASDF version manager is a command-line tool that is available on GitHub. It uses
curl and
git to install various languages.
To install the
curl and
git utilities, run:
1brew install coreutils curl git # on macOS with Homebrew
2sudo apt install curl git # on Linux
You can learn more about Homebrew on macOS here.
With the prerequisites installed, now clone the ASDF project:
1git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf
If you ever wish to remove ASDF, you can do so by removing
.asdf from your home directory and undo the configuration changes described below.
Finally, include ASDF in your shell's configuration. For
zsh, add the following to
1. $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh
Alternatively, if you use
oh-my-zsh, add
asdf to your plugin configuration. To include ASDF in your configuration when using a different shell, consult the documentation.
ASDF uses a plugin system to support multiple languages. For a typical Elixir project, you will need the Elixir and Erlang plugins:
1asdf plugin add erlang
2asdf plugin add elixir
If your project requires Node.js, you can also install the
nodejs plugin.
With ASDF and its plugins installed, you can now install Elixir and Erlang. If your project has a
.tool-versions file with entries for
elixir and
erlang, you can install the correct versions by running the following from inside the project:
1asdf install
.tool-versions file is much like
.nvmrc and
.ruby-version files, except that it lists the names and versions of multiple languages. In general, the names in this file should match the names of the language's plugin (e.g.
nodejs for Node.js).
If you do not yet have a
.tool-versions file, or want to install Elixir and Erlang globally, use the following to see a list of all available Erlang/OTP versions:
1asdf list-all erlang
2# ...
6# ...
Unlike other version managers, ASDF requires you to specify a precise version of the language to install. To install version
23.2.1 of Erlang, run:
1asdf install erlang 23.2.1
Warning: This installation will take some time while it compiles Erlang from source.
Erlang will compile modules based on the available libraries from your system. For example, some features (such as the built-in observer) require
wx libraries. You may see messages during the installation about omitted modules, which will not affect the rest of the runtime.
Once the Erlang runtime is installed, you are ready to install Elixir. To see a list of all available versions, run:
1asdf list-all elixir
2# ...
7# ...
Notice that each Elixir release has multiple versions compiled with different major versions of Erlang/OTP. To maximize compatibility between Elixir and the Erlang runtime, choose a
-otp-XY version that matches the major version of the runtime you installed in the previous step. For example:
1asdf install elixir 1.11.2-otp-23
Installing Elixir takes significantly less time than installing Erlang/OTP.
Now that you have Elixir and Erlang/OTP installed, you can save your chosen versions in a project. From the root of the project, run:
1asdf local erlang 23.2.1
2asdf local elixir 1.11.2-otp-23
Replace the versions above with those you used during installation. This will create a
.tool-versions file in your project, which will instruct ASDF which versions to use. If you'd like to set a global, or default, version, run:
1asdf global erlang 23.2.1
2asdf global elixir 1.11.2-otp-23
This will create a
.tool-versions file in your home directory. ASDF will use these versions whenever a project doesn't specify versions of its own.
ASDF is a popular version manager for Elixir projects because it manages both Elixir and Erlang versions. Include a
.tool-versions file in your projects to help contributors get up-and-running quickly, and don't forget to leverage the
-otp-XY versions of Elixir for the best compatibility.

Spooky Spider Web Cauldron Ceramic Lantern
It is stoneware with a matte glaze finish that makes it looks solid and rustic feel. It comes with a handle by which it can be hung or carried.
I personally found that it looks more attractive if you matching it with some fake spider or cobweb or witches props. There are varieties of decorative options when you coordinate it with some other Halloween props.
You can place it on a tabletop and light up with a votive candle or tea light. Alternatively, you can use it as a Halloween candy bowl.

- While Bitcoin remains steady, the price of Chainlink has continued to surge over the past days.
- The bullish sentiment may end soon if Link doesn't break above $5
LINK-USD: Trapped In a Key Resistance Area
Key Resistance Levels: $4.9 – $5, $5.5
Key Support Levels: $4.4, $3.8
Two days ago, we mentioned the possible bullish momentum after spotting a head-and-shoulders pattern that was formed on the 4-hours chart. By then, Chainlink was trading inside a symmetrical triangle.
Following the recent volatility, Chainlink's price has now shot up as predicted in our previous analysis. Though, the price needs to break well above the psychological level of $5 before we can confirm a new bullish cycle.
Meanwhile, Link had got rejected against the February high of $4.9, which has now become a crucial resistance level for the bulls to overcome.
Despite dropping to $4.77, Link is still up by 9.71% over the last 24-hours. We can anticipate more positive moves if Chainlink maintains the $4.4 support.
Chainlink-USD Price Analysis
Chainlink is bullish but facing a tough resistance around $4.9. If the buyers can push the price back above the red resistance area of $4.98 – $5, Link is likely to reach the next resistance at $5.5 and even above.
However, the price is rejecting at the moment. The nearest support here is $4.4 – where the neckline (of the H&S) lies. Failure to rebound from here may lead to a further dip to the right shoulder of $3.8, right in the grey-marked support area.
The bottom line here is that there's still room for an increase in the technical MACD indicator. Though, the RSI has slightly dropped from the overbought zone to show weakness in bullish momentum. Bullish impulsive may resume if the 50 level can provide a rebound.
LINK-BTC: Technical Indicator Suggests Possible Drop For Link
Key Resistance Levels: 0.00060BTC, 0.00065BTC, 0.00070BTC
Key Support Levels: 0.00049BTC, 0.00045BTC, 0.00037BTC
Against Bitcoin, Chainlink continued to gain nicely for the past few days. The latest head-and-shoulders formation breakout brought Link near a key resistance line, marked orange on the above 4-hours chart. Similarly, a slight rejection has dropped Chainlink to where it's currently trading, around 0.000534 BTC level.
As we can see, it appears that the bulls are a bit overbought at the moment. We may see a minor retracement to the orange area of 0.00054 BTC, which is also supported by the white trend-line.
A drop below this line might bring a selloff to the lower grey line that was forming since early January. Nonetheless, Link's price is still up by 10% at the time of writing.
Chainlink-BTC Price Analysis
Following the current price rejection around 0.000567 BTC level, Link is now slowly losing momentum on the 4-hour chart. From the overbought zone, we can see that the RSI has slightly crossed below 70 to suggests a sell, although the MACD indicator is just preparing for a bearish switch.
As of writing these lines, the next support level to keep an eye on is the 0.00054 BTC area. A break below this support could send Link straight to the right shoulder point of 0.00045 BTC support, followed by the head at 0.00037 BTC support.
In case Chainlink creates a higher low around the orange area, the next higher high would target 0.00060 BTC and 0.00065 BTC to test the upper grey line. A break above this line might send Link to 0.00070 BTC in no time.

Drill Through on iPad/Mobile
7 July, 2015
When trying to use the web portal on an iPad or a mobile, it works fine except for the drill through's. They do not appear as a popup or as a refresh of the page. The 'blue' text appears as if you can use it but when pressing it, nothing happens.
I'm sorry to hear you are running into troubles using drilling through on the IPAD/Mobile.
I just tested this using the most recent Yellowfin build 20150624 and drill through functioned as expected.
Do you think that you could elaborate on your problem a bit more? I noticed you stated 'Web Portal', does this mean you are accessing Yellowfin from your IPAD/mobile through an internet browser instead of through the Yellowfin App?
Also, which version of Yellowfin are you using? This information can be found by logging into Yellowfin in a traditional browser and navigating to Administration > Admin Console > System Information. The version of Yellowfin is listed next to Application Version.
Any clarification you can provide is greatly appreciated. Hope to hear back soon!
Best regards,

Yes we have been logging in through the web browser version rather than the app, as when we were using the app all of the reports would show, rather than our dashboard tabs. We were also told by DSCallards that they usually use the browser version on mobile devices, rather than the app.
The application version we are using is 7.1, build 20150624.

Stitches in Time Travel: A Magical Trip Through Time Kids Book by Peter G. Reynolds is a charming, whimsical fairytale for time-travel fans everywhere. Charlotte is a little girl who has to go to her grandmother's aging manor for Christmas but isn't into the idea at all. But her life is brightened by a time-traveling quilt that takes her back to the past, where she finds herself caught and unsure of the way back. This is where the story gets interesting as her grandmother, great-grandmother, and mother, also her age, are the only ones who can help her get back to the present.
Reminiscent of A Christmas Story, yet this story is fresh and contemporary and is perfect for adults as well as children. This holiday offering will activate the imagination and perhaps cause young readers to think about their families, past and future, in new ways. Reynolds combines clever ideas with a heartfelt message that almost anyone can relate to. I especially like the idea of the time-traveling quilt, which is magical in more ways than one and brought back memories of my own grandmother, who made special quilts through the years. Children love the fantastic, and this illustrated book will feed a child's imagination and also touch the heart. It was a neat thing to read about Charlotte being with her 10-year-old mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother again, prompting readers to wonder what it would be like for them if they got to spend time with their ancestors as children. Stitches in Time Travel: A Magical Trip Through Time Kids Book by Peter G. Reynolds could very well be your new Christmas classic and should not be missed.

Brand new label headed by Montreal-based BitterCaress invites emerging talent Aahan for their debut release "Freya" coming May 27th.
Established to raise awareness about causes close to their hearts, MFC Records believe that we can aspire for a better world through music, seeking to use their new fundraising project to support newcomers, fresh talents and established artists from around the world. All proceeds from the releases are going to be donated to chosen non-for-profit organisations.
Aahan's new EP "Freya" aims to raise awareness about Mor Çati Women's Shelter Foundation in Turkey, established in 1990 by feminists in order to combat violence against women. Having watched the women's rights movements in Turkey for some time, Aahan believes this issue needs more attention from the media and the public at large.
Containing three high-impact techno cuts from Toronto-based youngstar and a remix from Instruments of Discipline's very own Luna Vassarotti, this new EP is set to push the boundaries of the contemporary techno scene whilst simultaneously thrusting MFC Records into the international spotlight.
"Freya" is set to release May 27th on MFC Records and is available to pre-order on Bandcamp.

I wrote this in my journal up at the lake house. I was having a difficult month and wrote it to soothe some of my own anxieties. It's very weird, but I thought I would share it anyway. If you find it helpful, I will happily post more. If not, I will keep it quiet in my journal
Part One: The Bubble Bath & The Storm at Sea
I noticed you're drowning.
The rain shoots down all around you, pelleting your face like bullets from an army of tiny soldiers. The dark skies scream and howl, violent clouds swarming above you. Thunder and lightning crack through the air at random, ensuring that you never feel a moment of peace. Gusts of wind spray saltwater everywhere, flooding into your mouth and down your throat.
You spit it out, gasping for air.
You're flailing, trying to catch your breath for the next wave. But just when you survive one, another comes crashing down on top of you. You thrash your arms and legs all around, desperately trying to stay afloat. Sometimes you dive back under, hoping to resurface in calmer waters. But no matter what you do, the waves just keep coming.
This probably isn't very sustainable.
You're trying your hardest, I can see that. But it would be much easier if you'd just join me in my bathtub.
Here you go, take my hand.
You won't take it. I understand. You're used to drowning. It's the way you do things. In fact, now that you see me, it seems like you're trying even harder to swim. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to prove, but you have nothing to prove to me. I'm just some weirdo in a bathtub.
It's very cold out there. If you'd just take a quick break in my tub, I think you'd feel a whole lot better. You can jump back into the sea whenever you'd like.
Good! You're considering it. Okay, take my hand and I'll pull you in.
Ah—oof—there you go. Welcome aboard!
It feels odd, doesn't it? Stings at first, because you're so cold and tense from all that drowning. That's alright. Just lower yourself in slowly, one body part at a time.
That's it. Feet first, pins and needles in your toes. Numbness. But eventually, they adjust, and you can feel them for the first time in a long time.
Next up, your legs. So sore from all that drowning. They've been trying to save you for a very long time, but now they can relax, feeling the hot water bite at their aches and bruises. After a bit of time, the pain stops and your legs are warm.
Now your torso. Slowly, ever so slowly. The water tickles your skin and the tired organs underneath. The tickling feeling is overwhelming at first, filling you with sensations of relief and pleasure that you haven't felt in years.
And then your heart. Your beautiful, weary heart. It's been working far too hard for far too long. Pumping blood to keep you thrashing out there—to keep you warm in the freezing cold waves. But it does not have to work so hard anymore. Give your heart a moment of quiet. Let my bath warm your body instead.
You relax your shoulders and arms into the steaming water, letting go of all the pressure. You can finally feel your body warming up, flooding with relief that it does not have to keep you afloat anymore.
You can take off your clothes now and throw them in the ocean, because it would be very strange to take a bath in your clothes. You might be doubtful of this, but your bath will be much better without them. Go ahead, toss them aside.
You slip out of your heavy, drenched clothes. They've been weighing you down for so long. It's such a relief to throw them overboard and sink back into the tub, letting the healing water run across your naked skin.
I hope this isn't rude, but I noticed you're still breathing as if you're going to drown. That makes sense, you've been swimming like that for a long time. But in order to enjoy this bath, you need to breathe like a non-drowning person.
Sink a little lower into the water, and then to the count of five, take a deep breath in through your belly. At the top of the breath, hold it for another five seconds. Then, over the next ten seconds, let it out slowly. Really slowly.
Drowning people are always gasping for more air through their chest and shoulders. But you have plenty of air now. So let it stay with you for a while before forcing it out and searching for more.
Keep doing that for a while. Five, five, ten. Five, five, ten.
There you go, that's better. Your shoulders look a lot less panicked.
Sink even further into the water while I add some bubble bath.
Oh, isn't this pretty? The bubbles are blue and purple, filling up the entire tub and flowing over the edges. The bubbles glow in the storm, lighting up everything they touch. They are special bubbles—soft as silk on your skin. They ease your muscles and mend your tired heart. They gently reassure your mind that you are not in danger anymore. That there is nothing to fear and no reason to swim. You are safe.
I hold a bright yellow umbrella above us, so that you can enjoy this bath to the soothing sound of rain as our bubbles float into the sky.
I light candles all around us, each one with a soft golden glow that smells like sunlight. The warmth touches your skin and softens the harsh expression on your face. You loosen your jaw, forehead, and eyes.
And then—cautiously, nervously, skeptically—you smile.
That makes me happy. You look very beautiful when you smile. Did you know that? I wish you smiled more often. But I also understand that it's difficult to smile when you're drowning.
I giggle and throw around some bubbles. You stare at me.
You think I'm crazy, but I do hope you'll stay with me for a while. Even though you're tired, I think you're a lovely companion. There's something within you that feels good and kind. I'd like to learn more about that person. I'd like to figure out how you came to be drowning in the first place.
Will you join me on a little adventure and tell me all about it?
You take a deep breath and look back out into the ocean. You consider jumping over, so that you can resume your battle. But things are so peaceful here in this bathtub. You look back to me and—after a moment of quiet hesitation—you nod.
I give you a big smile and take your hand. It's very nice to have a friend out here. You and I, we are a beacon of light in this darkness. There is nothing quite so calming as being here in this bath, safe & warm, while the storm rages on around us.
I have so many things to show you, so sink into the bubbles and close your eyes.
Together, we're going to sail the world in my bathtub.

Latin Cathedral, Lviv, Ukraine
Lviv's Archcathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, more famous as Latin cathedral, is one of the two churches in Lviv that wasn't closed during the Soviet rule.
The cathedral is located on the Market square, which is the heart of Lviv's Old Town. The Cathedral was founded more than 6 centuries ago, in 1360, on the place of a small Roman catholic church, which was destroyed by fire. The construction of the building lasted for more than a century and was completed in 1479. The founder of the church was Polish king Casimir III. The author of building's architectural design was Peter Stecher. According to his initial plan the building was supposed to have two towers, but even after 120 years of construction the cathedral was not built conclusively, as far as it has only one tower. As a result, the building has asymmetrical look.
The cathedral is made of stone. From outside it has cream color with dark windows and dark green roofs. Though the building is not very impressive from short distance, it looks incredible from the roofs of neighboring buildings. The length of the building is 67 meters, while width is 23 meters. The main body of the building has cubical form, but because of the numerous chapels the building has asymmetrical and more complex shape.
As almost every other old church in Lviv Latin cathedral was renovated for several times. Initially it was created in Gothic architectural style, and despite the numerous renovations and addition of elements from Renaissance, Baroque and Classicism, the building has retained its initial Gothic features. If any of the churches in Lviv deserves the title "Gothic church", it is definitely Latin Cathedral.
This spectacular building, without any doubt, also deserves the title of Lviv's heart. For centuries it was the place where the war trophies were kept, from where the decrees of the Polish king were proclaimed. The Cathedral bears the imprint of the most significant historical events of the past 6 centuries. For example, the renaissance elements within cathedral were added because the cathedral needed renovation, because in 1527 the fire destroyed the city almost completely. The bullets on the East wall of the Cathedral are reminding about the Turkish siege of 1672, while the whizzbang reminds about the Ukrainian-Polish war of 1918-19.
The cathedral contains numerous wooden and marble altars, icons and sculptures. In 1839, especially for the cathedral, a musical organ was made, which is still played during the ceremonies. The windows of the building are decorated with modern stained glass, made in the beginning of the previous century. The cathedral has several chapels. Most impressive one is the Renaissance style chapel of the Kampian family dating back to the 17th century. It is decorated with marvelous stone carvings representing different themes from the Gospel.
This amazing church has been granted the honorable title of Minor Basilica in 1910. It is the main church of Roman Catholics of Lviv.

McDonald's are stepping up their delivery game with a new picnic delivery scheme, McDelivery, in Sweden.
The fast food giant has produced a number of picnic blankets with QR codes. When a location is decided, the QR codes can be scanned and the geo-location is recorded. When the order is placed the delivery is made from the nearest McDonald's branch.
Currently the scheme is only available in Sweden and the blankets can only be won via McDonald's social media channels there.
Marketing manager at McDonald's Sweden, Sofie Lager says, "We have already seen McDelivery's success since its launch about a year ago and now we want to give everyone out enjoying the summer the possibility to get their Big Mac or Happy Meal straight to the picnic blanket. Without moving an inch."
