Recently my daughter informed me that she would rather have waffles than cake at for her next birthday.
"Really?" I asked her. "Really?"
She nodded with conviction. "Yes! Waffles are sooo much better than cake."
I thought back to a wave of waffle cakes I had seen on Pinterest months ago, and decided to come up with one suitable for birthday parties. I layered crisp waffles with maple buttercream, and topped them off with a single rosette and a candle. Two thumbs up from my girl.
I served this cold (I let the waffles crisp up in the oven after making and then brought them to room temperature) but you could use warm waffles if desired. Just note that the buttercream will melt a bit in between the layers. I used 5 waffles total, but could make this as high as you want.
What You Need
This will make more than needed. Buttercream can keep for one week in the refrigerator.
- 4-6 Waffles (Your favorite recipe will work here, and even store-bought can be used. I love this whole wheat version from The Faux Martha.)
- 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, plus more for pouring (if desired)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups confectioner's sugar
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter on medium until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the maple syrup, salt, and vanilla, and beat on low until combined, scraping down the sides as needed. Slowly add the powdered sugar, and mix on low again until combined. Scrape down the sides, and beat until the buttercream is creamy and light, 3-5 minutes.
To Assemble
Lay one waffle (warm or cold, see note) on a serving plate. Top with maple buttercream (about 1/3 cup) and use an offset spatula to smooth the buttercream in an even layer. Top with another waffle, and repeat with 3-4 more waffles and buttercream. Top with a waffle, and decorate the top with buttercream and a candle if desired. Pour a little maple syrup over the top before serving.

Henkel and Shell Chemical LP have agreed to a five-year collaboration to replace up to 200,000 tonnes of fossil feedstocks used in the manufacture of surfactants with feedstocks that are based on renewable raw materials. The renewable-based surfactants will be used in Henkel's laundry product brands, including many varieties of Persil®, Purex® and all® brands. Surfactants are an ingredient in cleaning products that help lather and lift dirt.
Jan 17, 2023 Rocky Hill, CT
Henkel signs agreement with Shell on renewable-based ingredients for Persil®, Purex® and all® brands
"This landmark cooperation significantly advances Henkel's share of renewable-based ingredients in leading consumer brands in North America," said Ulrike Sapiro, Chief Sustainability Officer at Henkel. "This is an important, concrete step toward realizing our vision of a regenerative planet through a climate-friendly business model. Working together with partners like Shell will help get us there faster."
Shell estimates that replacing up to 200,000 tonnes of fossil feedstocks with renewable feedstocks has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes of CO2e over the length of the five-year agreement.
Starting in 2023, up to 200,000 tonnes of renewable feedstocks will be used by Shell during a combined manufacturing process (along with fossil feedstocks) to produce surfactants. Using the mass balance approach, an independent accounting process is applied enabling Shell to attribute the total tonnes of renewable feedstocks used in the process solely to Henkel. This mass balance process and attribution will be verified by an independent, third-party certification organization such as (but not limited to) ISCC, REDcert and SCS global services.
"A mass balance approach is an important step to support the growth of more sustainable raw materials being used in the supply chain and support a reduction in the overall mix of fossil-based ingredients," said Jillaine Dellis, Vice President, Sustainability & Industry Relations, Henkel Consumer Brands, North America. "We are delighted to enhance the sustainability of our top-selling consumer brands in North America through this transition to renewable-based ingredients while offering the same outstanding cleaning performance and fabric care our consumers have come to expect from Henkel."
Robin Mooldijk, Executive Vice President, Shell Chemicals and Products said, "This agreement represents Shell's first-of-its-kind commercial scale deal for renewable-based chemicals anywhere in the world. I'm pleased to be working with Henkel and helping it take important steps towards achieving its sustainability goals."
The surfactants will be produced at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Norco and Shell Geismar Chemicals facility in Louisiana. Shell will use independently certified sustainable feedstocks.
Mooldijk added, "Our collaboration with Henkel is a fantastic example of the opportunity for future growth. We are investing in our chemicals facilities, including on the U.S. Gulf Coast, to scale up Shell's sustainable chemicals capabilities and deliver the integrated and sustainable offers our customers increasingly want."
The renewable-based surfactants will be used in Henkel's laundry product brands, including many varieties of Persil®, Purex® and all® brands.

There are some basic things about faith that we need to continually go over. Just because we have heard it once doesn't necessarily mean we know it. Sometimes it is good to go back and review some old truths from God's Word that have become old hat, so to speak. Before you realize it, you have forgotten some things that you knew years ago.

from being a luxury item, Kindness
is essential to our effectiveness as a society. Recognizing this,
Brock Tully and Nadine Marshall, of Vancouver, Canada, founded KindActs
in 1998 with a belief in the powerful rippling effect of kindness.
"Our intention was to touch hearts and lift spirits throughout the
city and, in doing so, set in motion a chain reaction of kindness."
The effect was greater than ever imagined as they were contacted
by businesses, schools, media and a host of other people and organizationsall
wanting a kinder world.
What began as a simple
street campaign has grown into a BC-based non-profit organization
that stretches across the globe with kindness. Brock and Nadine
act with the intention that our society is built on a foundation
of relationships, which connect individuals to families, work environments,
Marshall & Brock
and our global community.
The non-profit
society has made it
a mission to
inspire human connection and activate the practice of kindness
to inspire human connection and activate the practice of kindness
locally and
globally. "My personal vision," says Nadine, "is of a world
in which we value that each one of us has a unique gift to
contribute and we encourage each other to manifest our own
potential as individuals
so that as humankind we can reach ours. Kindness
is about recognizing and honouring
both our uniqueness and our oneness."
With the vision
of a kinder world, one act at a time, KindActs is committed to raising
awareness about the timeliness and profound impact of kindness.
Brock, an author and professional speaker, works to inspire people
to reconnect with their hearts and take positive action in their
own lives and communities. "When we have a kinder world, we are
getting to the cause of our challenges, whether that includes feeding
the homeless, eliminating bullying in schools and stopping violence
against women," he says.

New York City isn't all cosmopolitans and fancy steak dinners. There are plenty of spots for Southern-born New Yorkers and tourists to eat the traditional foods they grew up with and dance to the music and booze they grew to love.
Whether you need a night out on Saturday or a brunch on Sunday, here are the best places to find your country roots in New York City:
To get some bourbon with your boots
Johnny Utah's
Any farmer visiting New York City will get a kick out of Johnny Utah's. People go to the restaurant for its affordable Tex-Mex and unique country-inspired cocktails but stay for the electronic bull. After drinking a couple of moonshine and margarita concoctions, guests can hop on Buck's saddle.
What to try: The Campfire — A vodka-based cocktail mixed with maple syrup, rosemary and grapefruit.
25 W. 51st St No. 3, New York, NY 10019
Skinny Dennis
Honky tonk is the way to Skinny Dennis' heart. This bar is known for live country music, its collection of 18 draft beers and specialty drinks such as Willie's Frozen Coffee, Dr. G and The Bud Driver.
What to try: Bourbon Mint Sweet Tea — Evan Williams bourbon mixed with homemade sweet tea and mint.
152 Metropolitan Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11211
Flaming Saddles Saloon
Flaming Saddles is more than one of the top-rated gay clubs in New York City. It is a cowboy stomping ground filled with "Coyote Ugly"-style choreographed dances and a great place to bump into celebrities and Broadway performers while jamming out to an endless array of country music.
What to try: Frito Pie – An opened bag of Fritos corn chips topped off with homemade chili, cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, spicy brown mustard and white onions.
793 9th Ave., New York, NY 10019
If you want a side of soul
Amy Ruth's
Chicken and waffles are a classic, and Amy Ruth's has been rated the second-best place in the country to get your fix. Built in honor of his late grandmother's countless recipes taught to him as a child in Alabama, Carl S. Redding opened the restaurant with nothing but the best home cooking.
What to try: The Rev. Frank Blackshear – Old-fashioned chicken and dumplings.
113 W. 116th St, Harlem, NY 10026
Known as the "Queen of Soul Food," Sylvia's delivers a wide range of traditional Southern foods. Whether you are looking for oxtails and collard greens or barbecue ribs and peach cobbler, chances are it's on the menu.
What to try: Corn meal-dusted catfish with grits and homemade biscuits.
328 Malcolm X Blvd., New York, NY 10027
Mitchell's Soul Food
Despite the constant changes in Brooklyn, Mitchell's has been a soul food staple in Prospect Heights for more than 40 years. The restaurant has yet to start a website despite its popularity, but hundreds of reviews on Yelp and other sites rave about the restaurant's crispy fried chicken, extra cheesy mac and cheese and smothered pork chops.
What to try: Cornbread and coconut pineapple cake.
617A Vanderbilt Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11238
For dishes as special as your Sunday best
They call it your Sunday best for a reason, so don't let that outfit go to waste. Peaches is a great dine-in spot for every Southern comfort food enthusiast to sit back and relax on an early Sunday afternoon with friends and family.
What to try: Jumbo Shrimp Po' Boy
393 Lewis Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11233
Red Rooster Harlem
Ethiopia-born and Sweden-raised award-winning chef Marcus Samuelsson opened Red Rooster as a celebration of Harlem's music, food and people. The restaurant features a spin on classic dishes and offers a top-notch Sunday brunch.
What to try: Poppa Eddie's Shrimp and Grits — gumbo stew with chorizo, okra and stone-ground grits.
310 Malcolm X Blvd., New York, NY 10027
Jacob's Pickles
Sometimes the only thing better than a Sunday morning spent dressed to impress is a Sunday brunch filled with buttermilk biscuits. Jacob's Pickles is a great place for just that, with plenty of biscuit options to choose from and other classic dishes, such as okra, fried green tomatoes, fried pickles and plenty of cocktails.
What to try: Honey Julep cocktail and Honey Chicken and Pickles Biscuit Sandwich — buttermilk fried chicken with clover honey and sour pickles on a fresh biscuit with a side of cheese grits.
509 Amsterdam Ave., New York, NY 10024
To get a mix as good as your favorite cocktail
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
This spot is perfect for live music that is as smoking as the slow-cooked barbecue. Country bands can often be found playing on weekends, and customers rarely leave without barbecue sauce somewhere on their face.
What to try: Fried green tomatoes and the Pork-sket — BBQ brisket covered in cheddar, jalapenos, pulled pork and coleslaw.
700 W. 125th St., Harlem, NY 10027
Hill Country Barbecue Market
This joint is classy up top and party down below. After you're done eating a rack of ribs and baked beans with burnt ends, you can head downstairs to the bar where there is a live band and plenty of dancing room.
What to try: The Pitmaster – Quarter-pound brisket, a pork spare rib, Kreuz original sausage, a quarter of chicken and two sides.
30 W. 26th St., New York, NY, 10010
Brother Jimmy's
After a concert or game at Madison Square Garden, Brother Jimmy's is the place to go. You can always count on an MSG after-party where you can get buy-one, get-one drinks all night if you show your event tickets.
What to try: Low Country BBQ Mac and Cheese and Half and Half Ribs — half wet St. Louis style ribs and half dry rub ribs.
416 8th Ave., New York, NY 10001

At Darton Primary School, we have a realistic approach with online safety. We aim to provide an education that promotes children using the internet for its benefits but makes them risk aware and able to use the internet safely. We do not believe in banning technology and the internet but instead in educating children around safe use and knowing where to report any problems. We work with parents/carers to provide a support network for children as they explore, communicate, learn and play online. We aim to provide children with the skills and parents with the support that is required for children to use technology safely both in and out of school.
Online safety is taught to all pupils and focused on in lessons in the first half term of each school year. The objectives that we teach are detailed in the computing progression document and many of them are taken from the Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education Document (2020):
As and when teachers feel that children need additional online safety lessons throughout the school year, these are provided to address particular areas. We listen carefully to what children say regarding the technology that they are using and tailor sessions around this.
The children at Darton Primary School grow up using technology and the internet positively. They understand the benefits and drawbacks of different technologies and the internet. They use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable and unacceptable behaviour and can identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact.

Let's say you and six of your friends are looking to get away for a long weekend and need a cool set of wheels. Or you and the spouse need a vehicle that is fun, fast and capable of shuttling the kids, bringing home the groceries and transporting lots of "stuff" from your favorite home improvement store. Sound like a pipe dream? Think a vehicle like this is only available with a huge price tag? Think again and think Durango R/T.
The 2011 Durango R/T can handle the daily chores of your active lifestyle but does it with great looks and performance at an affordable cost that doesn't require a second mortgage. The Durango R/T is much more than fancy wheels and a badge. First, our engineers gave the R/T a 20 mm lower ride height, performance steering, unique suspension tuning and massive 265/50R20 performance tires for improved handling. Under the hood, a 360 horsepower 5.7-Liter HEMI V8 breathing through a performance-tuned dual exhaust systems motivates the R/T all while getting an EPA estimated 20 mpg on the highway courtesy of our fuel-saver system. On the outside, the R/T has an aggressive and unique front fascia with fog lamps and a monochromatic body kit that makes it stand out from the herd of SUVs waiting outside the daycare center. The cabin of the R/T is also first class with suede seats for all seven occupants. Driver and shotgun get sport seats with the infamous R/T logo embroidered on them. The Durango R/T also comes equipped with a 10 speaker 506-watt Alpine audio system with sub woofer. So feel free to kick out the jams or children rhymes next time you run to the store or to the cabin.
There's no law that says you have to drive a dull, boring SUV. Our head of marketing, Fred Deperez will even give you a personal guided tour in the video above.

Your Service Sucks!
We are in the peak of the season of hyperbole. Spend a few minutes listening to the scream of the media and you learn, according to some pundit, every politician is a saint, insane or Satan. Political fact checkers seem to be on the job and busy. You finally dull the drone of the drivel by changing channels or ignoring the junk. What do you do with customer complaint magnification? How do you ferret out certainty from behind the customer's emotional camouflage?
We were conducting a customer focus group for a large utility. On the other side of the one-way glass sat the president of the utility–eager to learn suggestions into service improvement. Toward the end of the allotted interview time, one customer launched into a long tirade chastising the utility on the poor way they had handled communication during a major outage. Her over-the-top wrath began to warp the mood of other attendees. As the focus group was ending, the president asked if he could address the focus group, particularly the mad messenger. The focus group leader consented. The utility CEO was cordial and authentic in his remarks to the focus group. He warmly thanked them for their helpful candor. With zero defensiveness, he asked the irate customer for more specifics on her situation. It was obvious he was ready to wage war on the company's service imperfections and/or leader failures. "Oh, that was fifteen years ago," the customer said. "You're utility is dramatically better today. I just thought you wanted examples of poor service."
The CEO left learning two valuable lessons: service memories can be very long; and, customer histrionics are often pleas requiring much deeper understanding. But, the opposite of customer sentiments can be true. Again, we were directing a series of customer focus group sessions for a bank client. At one session, a customer registered frustration over the bank's decision to significantly lower their consumer lending interest rate while leaving her rate extremely high. It was obvious she was tempering her anger in the public forum. When the session ended a senior bank executive who had observed the session on the other side of a one-way glass asked to speak to the customer as the group was leaving. When the noticeably interested executive began to seek to learn more about the customer's details, she broke into sobs. He quickly learned her financial situation was far graver for her family than she had revealed in the focus group.
Another lesson in always assuming customer communications are like an iceberg—truth lies under the surface. And, only the customer, under the attentiveness and interest of a great communicator, will reveal their truth.
What are the characteristics of organizations that are great customer communicators? They involve in the customer intelligence gathering process those people who can make or influence substantive changes based on what is learned. They create the type of sincere rapport with customers that will cause them to want to be candid. They convince customers that their input will honestly matter, not be heard and simply filed. They outline ways customers will be able to determine how the truth provided will be employed. They show no defensiveness when customers provide feedback that is painful, inaccurate or even unfair. They listen to learn, not to defend, teach or make a point. They never make promises to customers they cannot or do not keep. Remember: great listening is a contact sport, not a spectator sport. It takes involvement to get insight.

Digital Transformation During COVID-19
Here at SEIDOR, our month was packed with essential webinars, where we have been turning up the heat on the theme of "Adapting to the coronavirus". From how to work remotely to digital supply chain and digital transformation solutions to support increasingly complex software requirements at a time of crisis.
Due to the many requests and popularity of the event, first week of April, we have announced a comeback of our presentation on the digital transformation with our speakers Rachelle Roesler & Tariq Laham to discuss benefits, responses and challenges of Business Transformation in the region emphasizing on the risks of doing nothing and left behind. We have shared and talked about companies rerouting their strategies, business models and different approaches to new reality.
The world is changing and it is impossible to predict how those changes will occur and impact on businesses. However, there are certain strategies and tactics to be ready for these changes to win over competition. So, what are those steps and responses to business slowdown? Who are the winners and what strategies they deploy to win the tough times? By researching and analyzing various facts of post recession companies, we were able to present and highlight those challenges in the case of UAE and Spain.
How SEIDOR, being a global software solutions provider, can support your business during pandemic? Together with SAP, we are offering our enablement sessions at no cost and open to everyone where you can learn new ways of supply chain and support your team who are struggling to manage the overnight changes. Read more about those webinars: https://www.seidormena.com/responding-to-covid-19-together-with-sap-open-to-everyone-solutions/
During the webinar we have discussed some studies by Harvard Business Review. According to HBR Study, there are different types of companies managing strategies:
Prevention-focused companies, which make primarily defensive moves and are more concerned than their rivals with avoiding losses and minimizing downside risks.
Promotion-focused companies, which invest more in offensive moves that provide upside benefits than their peers do.
Pragmatic companies, which combine defensive and offensive moves.
Progressive companies, which deploy the optimal combination of defense and offense.
Progressive companies, which deploy the optimal combination of defense and offense.

THE leading foreign scorer in Premier League history — and the leading goalscorer in Manchester City's rich history too.
The scorer of the most famous goal of the Premier League era — and, in many ways, the greatest modern footballer we never really knew.
For a decade now, Aguero has been City's silent assassin — a man who has dodged the limelight as surely as he has evaded defences — and now his reign of terror is over.
The Argentinian's likeness will be cast in bronze outside the Etihad and, perhaps, he will be depicted ripping off his shirt in ecstasy in celebration of the 94th-minute winner against QPR which won City their first title in 44 years.
Maybe they should accompany it with a voice recording of Martin Tyler's famous 'Agueroooooooo!' goalgasm, playing for eternity.
Because although that goal came at the climax of Aguero's first season in English football, and even though he will surely sign off his stay at City with a fifth title in a decade, that sun-kissed afternoon in May 2012 is what we will remember him for.
City went into stoppage-time 2-1 down to a ten-man, relegation-threatened Rangers, needing a victory to finish above Manchester United, their crosstown- rivals, age-old nemeses, who had assured victory at Sunderland.
It seemed that City, for all their bottomless Abu Dhabi wealth, were still the same old City — a comedy club, always finding ways to stuff things up and snatch disaster from the jaws of victory.
Yet Edin Dzeko equalised in the 91st minute and then after Vincent Kompany strode forward, a prostrate Mario Balotelli hooked a pass to Aguero, who passed a grounded Nedum Onuoha to slot home and send the blue half of Manchester into rapture.
And nobody laughed at City ever again.
Of course, this being City, they had benefited from one of their own, Joey Barton, suffering the mother of all meltdowns and receiving a red card for kicking Aguero in the back, among a series of other assaults.
And Onuoha, the most culpable QPR defender, was another City academy product. Yet that was all part of a perfectly-scripted City story.
Aguero, in a rare interview, later claimed that he had done little on that fateful afternoon except for 'scratching my b***s and getting kicked in the back' and even claimed he had fluked his winning goal.
Never mind, the balance of power in Manchester — and in English football — shifted decisively in that moment. On the back of his shirt Aguero wears the name 'Kun', his nickname, after an Argentinian cartoon character.
And this most extraordinary climax to a Premier League season was as chaotic as an episode of Tom & Jerry.
Aguero is the last surviving member of City's first Premier League-winning side — his fellow greats Kompany and David Silva have departed in the previous two summers and both will soon stand, statuesque, alongside him.
It is hoped fans will return for their final home game against Everton to give Aguero the send-off that Silva was never afforded.
We suspected this moment had been coming, with the 32-year-old Aguero's contract due to expire at the end of the season and with the Argentine having failed to score a Premier League goal from open play in over a year.
Boss Pep Guardiola, who arrived slap-bang in the middle of Aguero's ten-year stay, has often thrived in the biggest matches with a false nine or two, rather than Aguero's long-term understudy, Gabriel Jesus.
Indeed, Guardiola's arrival had initially seemed to threaten Aguero's future at City.
Before the Catalan swept in, he had been an old-school out-and-out poacher of goals.
The former Barcelona boss, with his 'total football' heritage, demanded more than that of his centre-forward.
Aguero responded to the challenge and, to some extent, re-invented himself, as a more complete player. Aguero has scored an extraordinary 257 goals in 384 games for City — including a Premier League record of 12 hat-tricks.
In the competition's all-time scoring charts, Aguero stands fourth, behind only Toon legend Alan Shearer, England's record goalscorer Wayne Rooney and Andy Cole, having surpassed Top Gunner Thierry Henry as the most prolific overseas scorer in the English game.
But perhaps he was even under- appreciated in some quarters — as he was incredibly never named Football Writers' Player of the Year, or PFA Player of the year.
He is not just a great goalscorer, though, but also a scorer of great goals — winning the Premier League's goal of the month prize on seven occasions. Aguero has won ten major trophies with City and may sign off with four more as Guardiola's men chase an unprecedented quadruple.
City may replace him with Erling Haaland, or perhaps even Harry Kane.
But even those world-class strikers would struggle to score as many goals for City as Aguero has done.
And they will surely never score a goal as heart-stopping, as historic or as significant as the one Aguero stuck past Paddy Kenny on that May afternoon a decade ago.
As Tyler said, after he'd caught his breath: "I swear you'll never see anything like this ever again."

Debbie Reynolds was at the top of her career when she met Eddie Fisher in 1952. The celebrities both had multiple accomplishments under their belt and had public adoration. Reynolds and Fisher became close friends with Elizabeth Taylor and her third husband, Mike Todd, during their marriage.
Debbie Reynolds was Elizabeth Taylor's matron of honor
Reynolds and Taylor's friendship started long before they got married. Both actresses attended high school at the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studio in between takes. At first, Reynolds idolized Taylor, who began acting years before she did.
"I went to MGM when I was around 17, and Liz was there, too, but she was already a star," Reynolds told People. "We went to school together on the lot, when she was in between films. I was just a beginner, and she and I were not in any manner alike, but we got along very well because I was in awe of going to school with Elizabeth Taylor. And if anyone said they weren't, then they were lying. Or blind."
With time, Reynolds became just as famous as her classmate. After she landed the starring role of Kathy Selden in Singin in the Rain, she started gaining popularity. Additionally, Reynolds' romance with Fisher catapulted her to fame, as the public called the couple "America's Sweethearts."
During their marriage, Fisher's best friend, producer Mike Todd, proposed to Taylor. Of course, Taylor agreed to marry Todd, and they had their wedding on February 2, 1957. Because the four of them were so close, Reynolds became Taylor's matron of honor. Additionally, Fisher was Todd's best man.
Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher had a son before Michael Todd died
Although Reynolds wrote in her book, Debbie: My Life, that she and Fisher's sex life suffered at the end of their marriage, she wanted another child. After she got Fisher drunk off "two beers," Reynolds said she got pregnant with their second baby.
"I just remember praying to God that night that I would be pregnant. We had a good time, and there weren't many of those," she wrote, per The Daily Mail. "I just knew when I left that I was pregnant. I couldn't have known, but I knew.''
Nine months later, the couple welcomed their first son. They decided to name their baby boy Todd Emmanuel Fisher, after Todd. Sadly, Fisher's best friend died in a plane crash just one month after his namesake's birth.
Debbie Reynolds once said that Eddie Fisher wanted to be Mike Todd
Unfortunately, Fisher possibly had other reasons for naming his son after his best friend. Following Todd's death, Fisher supported Taylor through the loss of her husband. However, the pair soon became more than close friends. After hearing rumblings from their mutual friends, Reynolds suspected that Fisher and Taylor had an affair. Of course, the news shocked Reynolds, and she asked them to confirm the information. Once they did, Fisher and Reynolds divorced in 1959.
Throughout the years, Reynolds eventually forgave Taylor for her role in the affair. Reynolds told Entertainment Tonight that she soon learned that Fisher married Taylor to emulate his best friend.
"Eddie always wanted to be Mike Todd," she said of her ex. "He always wanted to be just like Mike. Outgoing and everybody loved Mike. Mike was an entrepreneur and a great producer, and that was really what Eddie wanted to be. So, when Mike passed on, Eddie became Mike," she explained. "He started smoking cigars; he started drinking. [Fisher] had never drank, never smoked cigars, you know? And all of a sudden, he just took on this other personality. Well, naturally, Elizabeth, who was deeply mourning, was attracted to Eddie."

Venezuela: Hyperinflation stabilizes amid Central Bank's contractionary policies
National consumer prices jumped 33.8% from the previous month in April, following March's 34.8% month-on-month surge, according to the trove of data released by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) on 28 May. The print marked the third consecutive month of moderating price pressures and indicates that hyperinflation—as defined by monthly price increases of over 50% and which occurred for 11 straight months until February 2019—has stabilized, at least for now. April's slight moderation largely reflected softer price increases for food and non-alcoholic beverages, and housing rents.
Meanwhile, inflation eased for the second month running but still came in at a stratospheric 282,973% in April, down from both March's 329,568% and February's 344,510%, which had marked the highest reading in recent history. For its part, annual average inflation leaped to 253,518% in April from 235,610% in the previous month.
Venezuelan authorities have recently implemented a series of measures that have contributed to slowing the economy's inflationary spiral. Following aggressive devaluations of the bolivar to keep pace with the black market rate, in early May the BCV authorized the functioning of "exchange tables" run by banks—and with it rendering the official DICOM auction-based foreign exchange system irrelevant—in a bid to stabilize, or at least limit, rising pressures to the exchange rate in the black market, which would in turn feed through inflation. Moreover, the BCV's policy of drastically raising the reserve requirements on commercial banks has significantly reduced the amount of bolivares that circulate in the economy, which some analysts contend that a large chunk was used via credit to purchase dollars in the parallel market, thus bidding up their price and fueling inflation. That said, although the massive devaluations of the bolivar and the sharp tightening of monetary liquidity in real terms have eased hyperinflation, the measures have also greatly diminished the purchasing power of households. They have come at the expense of severely contracting real incomes, which by itself also serves to restrain demand-pull inflation to some extent, and thus consumption and, ultimately, activity overall in an economy that is already in a deep state of crisis.
