Full Circle Flashback: 'Don't Cry, Pretty Girls' Review – "Because of a Flower"
I wonder whatever happened to Perilhettes '77. A few weeks ago, I discovered this album recorded by an a cappella group from Miss Porter's School, a private college preparatory school for girls in Farmington, Connecticut. For some reason or another, this vinyl made it to a record shop in San Antonio, Texas within those 40 odd years. I knew it was special the moment I saw the cover. Twelve young women climb aboard a cartoon airplane, heading 26 miles to… Somewhere. A tropical dreamland, perhaps. One girl carries a banana about her size, the others come much more readily prepared with luggage bags and tennis rackets. Plane tickets. Even a sunflower parasol. I wonder whatever happened to those twelve girls held mid-laugh to some joke lost to time. Where did they all go? What kinds of lives did they lead? 26 miles to what?
This all makes me a little sad the more I think about it, and this same sadness adorns the black and white photography of Don't Cry, Pretty Girls, a Hungarian movie from the 70's. At this moment in time, counterculture was just at its turning point, if not in decline. The flower child had to grow-up, and even though this movement sprouted to many faraway lands in Eastern Europe, nature teaches us that flowers wilt. Stems droop, pedals lose all of their color in place of something new. Prune the branches, cut the long hair off the máničky. As much as we would like to escape responsibility for our personal freedom, our roots call us back. And director Marta Mészaros shows us how much stronger these roots are for women in pursuit of free love. As strong as the gold from engagement rings.
Juli (Jaroslava Schallerová) finds herself caught within these same thickets at music concerts and parties. Although she now has a fiancé, she desires more, so much more than what he can provide for her. She does not love him, and this feeling won't ever change. But our feelings don't often make much sense either. They move to their own rhythm, to the wicked cadence of Beat poetry. And so, Juli finds love where she can in the heartstrings of a cellist at a gig. There, he convinces her to run away with him on tour, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, who ends up following her with their friends. A familiar story, sure. But one with a feminist slant, emblematic of its time and the double standards of peace and love.
Unfortunately, these standards do not apply to Juli's fiancé, who could get away with kisses from the other girls. But they apply to Juli, and her yearnings for the same freedoms, denied time and time again, even with counterculture's pretense. Not once do we ever get the chance for Juli to express her frustrations either. Not one word passes from her lips to address them. Actually, very few words pass from her lips at all. But Schallerová tells us all we need to know with her eyes. A skepticism that outlasts all the candied sensations of THC and LSD alike.
Despite the counterculture fantasy, Mészaros situates us with documentary-like clarity at these music venues. A clarity that comes with the stuffiness of overcrowded concert halls and diegetic interruptions, so pesky in their disturbance of the music, but so beautiful in their authenticity of the living moment. I would not have it any other way. What a joy it is to hear an airplane pass overhead and add an extra timbre to the music.
READ: Full Circle Flashback: 'The Company of Wolves' Review
After all, don't we really miss concerts most of all for the community? In one of my favorite sequences, Juli and her friends sit cross-legged in a darkened theater, watching film bulbs flash all around them in the crowd. For the brevity of a click and shudder, Mészaros captures the beauty of so many strangers in the crowd. But before you even get the chance for your eyes to adjust to the light and gather what that brunette's sleepy smile meant, she is lost in the dark forever. However much Mészaros celebrates the living moment with her cinéma vérité camerawork, she also finds much to elegize too. She understands that these moments are as impermanent as camera flashes, that all things will inevitably come to an end. And we know this to be true, even if we don't feel the circlings of the world underneath our feet.
Obscurity is a kind of death. I think about all of those forgotten musicians featured in Don't Cry, Pretty Girls. And I am left with this wistful sense that I will not be young forever, that all of this will continue without me someday. But it never seemed to occur to these musicians. They lived without age in mind, touring the bright green fields of Hungary with reckless abandon. It all seemed so innocent. A coming-of-age story for all those in pursuit of counterculture's dying moments. And yet, it never seemed to occur to these musicians that they were already fading away into history. For someday they too would look like their parents, with nine-to-fives and regrets for the freedom that they could have tasted.
Towards the end of the film, Juli walks past a concert in the countryside, where a folk artist sings: "The flowers of the meadow have withered a thousand times. And new flowers have grown in their place a thousand times." I cannot help but think of all those girls of Perilhettes '77 when I hear this line. And that cartoon airplane escorting them to a destination unknown. I would like to remember them in this way, and maybe I don't really want to solve this mystery. Leave them be. Leave them to their journey, lost to the secrets of the little dots of an ellipses. 26 miles to… –Daniel Hrincr
Rating: 10/10
Don't Cry, Pretty Girls is available on rarefilmm.com.
The film stars Jaroslava Schallerová, Márk Zala, and Lajos Balázsovits.

Park your money in the right place
Chequing accounts are great for a lot of things, but storing your savings isn't one of them. Most chequing accounts pay minuscule amounts of interest — often as low as 0.01% — if they pay anything at all.
You'd be much better off putting your money in a high-interest savings account, where it will have the chance to collect significant interest and grow over time.
A lot of the big banks have lowered the rates on their high-interest accounts since the pandemic hit, but if you shop around online you can still find decent rates that will pay dividends.
For example, one of Canada's highest-earning savings accounts will bring in up to 1.70% interest on every dollar you save. That's 170 times better than a chequing account with a 0.01% annual percentage yield (APY).
Let's say you use your savings to create an emergency fund, which experts say should cover at least six months' worth of your regular expenses.
If you put $9,000 — enough to cover $1,500 a month for six months — into a high-interest account at 1.70%, you'll earn $153 in interest over the course of a year. And if you leave it in a regular chequing account at 0.01%? You'll make less than a dollar.

Clear your debt without dumping your cash
If your emergency fund is all shored up and you still have some savings left over, consider taking this opportunity to pay down any outstanding debts you have, like high-interest credit card balances.
If you still have high-interest debt remaining — or you'd rather hold on to your cash — you can also reduce your burden with a personal consolidation loan.
By using a new, low-interest loan to pay off all of your old, high-interest debts, you can save hundreds of dollars in interest, trim months off your debt and hang on to your savings in case you need them down the road.
A number of free services can match you with a debt consolidation loan in just a few minutes.
You'll be able to pay off all of your high-interest credit cards immediately, and moving forward you'll only have one monthly payment to keep track of.
Ease your way into investing
Perhaps the most effective way to maximize your extra money during the pandemic is to invest a portion of your savings in the stock market.
There are now apps similar to Robinhood in Canada — ones that don't charge you commission on trades.
If you've never tried your hand at investing before, you might feel a bit intimidated by the risk factor, particularly during such an uncertain time for the economy.
However, these days you can rely on automated investing tools called robo-advisors to make the hard decisions for you and minimize your risk.
Robo-advisors will match you with a balanced portfolio based on your risk tolerance, then automatically adjust your portfolio any time the market changes.
It only takes a few minutes to set up a robo-advisor, and some even reward you with extra cash when you make your first deposit.
Automatically apply coupon codes for free - it's kinda genius
Capital One Shopping's browser add-on automatically applies coupon codes as you shop online. It also alerts you whenever there's a better deal available from another retailer. It's absolutely free – plus it takes only two clicks to install.

We hear about cholesterol from our doctor, especially in conversations about heart health. Usually, a simple blood draw gives our primary care doctor a read on our cholesterol levels.
But isn't cholesterol listed in the nutrition facts on our favorite foods? So what's the difference between the cholesterol in our body and the cholesterol content in the food we eat? Check out this crash course on cholesterol.
What Is Cholesterol?
When we talk about cholesterol, there are actually two very different types. First, there's the cholesterol made in the body: A type of fat found in our blood. The liver is where cholesterol is actually made. It is responsible for building cells in many of our important organs, including the brain, skin, and more.
Then there's dietary cholesterol, found in the animal products we eat. This explains why there's only cholesterol content in foods that come from animals – like meat, eggs, and dairy. These come from living things with a liver!
Because of this, it's important to remember that a "cholesterol-free" label doesn't mean much if it's not an animal product to begin with. A fan favorite, Oreos, don't have any cholesterol in them. That doesn't make Oreos healthy though.
"Diet and exercise are always part of maintaining heart health, but some patients may also need medication to help manage plaque build up in their arteries. A lot of coronary artery disease is genetic in some way, whether it's genetic from high cholesterol or genetic from other conditions. We can only fight genetics for so long with diet and exercise. If properly treated with medication and a healthy lifestyle, we can manage cholesterol and prevent heart disease much longer."
What Is "Good" and "Bad" Cholesterol?
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is known as "bad" cholesterol because it can leave fatty deposits in the arteries, causing clots and blockages. A blocked blood vessel can trigger a medical emergency, such as a heart attack or stroke.
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is called "good" cholesterol because it helps filter bad cholesterol out of your body, preventing blockages from occurring.
Should I Be Avoiding Foods with Cholesterol?
It's important for consumers to understand that cholesterol content alone doesn't decide if a food is healthy or unhealthy. The problem is, many products with high dietary cholesterol also happen to be high in saturated and trans fats.
Saturated and trans fats pose a real threat to our health – research shows these fats raise bad cholesterol levels, lower good cholesterol, and increase overall risk for cardiovascular disease.
In the aisles of the grocery store, take the time to read the nutrition information for the food you're buying. Don't just look at the amount of cholesterol in the product, but if there's any trans or saturated fats as well.
Check with Your Cardiologist
People with a history of cholesterol issues are often recommended to make lifestyle changes and avoid foods high in cholesterol. If you're not sure what's best for you, discuss heart healthy choices with a cardiologist or your primary care physician.

The madcap grunge trio Slothrust returned home to Brooklyn to play a show an exciting bill at the outdoor spread in Industry City in Sunset Park. This was my first show of the year at this spiffy revamped venue and it was great to marvel at how they turned this massive former manufacturing complex area into a huge art lovers' paradise. "I fucking love New York! Many of you know we used to live here, and we played more shows than I can remember here, and even though we don't live here anymore, this place still holds a special place right here in my heart," said frontwoman Leah Wellbaum of the experience of coming back to her former home, like when she reminisced about when she used to bartend and the Brooklyn dive Trash Bar, and it was clearly a heartwarming return for former North Eastern souls that now live on the West Coast.
Opening the show was a band that is really just the bee's knees in the form the Portland, Maine trio Weakened Friends. They are based around the yin/yang partnership of the duo of guitarist and frontwoman Sonia Sturino and bassist Annie Hoffman, and the way that they play to the best of the opposite rock n' roll ends always comes together in the most magnificent of ways. Sturino is shy and reclusive, hiding behind her hair while scowling forlornly as she sings of toxic relationships and addictions with a distinctly 90's melancholy and inwardly angry flavor, while Hoffman bounces around the stage with a smile and radiance like an animated mix of a Cheshire Cat and a Tigger the tiger. It's a best of both worlds combo that can be darkly brooding and roughly grungy while also fun and lively as well as springy and skanking. The album from last year Common Blah is just the cat's meow and should be on your playlist right now.
Up second was an introductory experience for me to the Western Mass. Band called And The Kids, and I can now see why they have a following. This art pop duo is made up of singer, guitarist, and flautist Hannah Mohan and drummer and sound coiner Rebecca Lasaponaro, and they produce a bleakly personal yet defiantly positive sound that has lots of great hooks to reel you in. Their recent album When This Life Is does supplies lots surprisingly relatable and emotionally shivering moments and is definitely worth diving in to. They did have some technical problems early on, which I think did throw Mohan off a bit, but as their music seems driven by the idea of pulling yourself up and out of the muck the sick, sad World throws at you, they thusly did fight their way back to a triumphant ending.
It has been a busy period for Slothrust, they having been touring for ages in support of their fourth album called The Pact they released last year, Leah Wellbaum started up an improvish duo called ANMLPLNET not that long ago, and they just released a duel single "U.S. Gay" composed by their friends Sons of an Illustrious Father who just recorded one of their songs in return. Now, as their tour is finally rounding down and finishing up in Leah's hometown of Boston, their trek through their formative years here in NYC must reek with nostalgia for this trio. They started off while at Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, but obviously moved a lot around the city a lot, where they cut their teeth into the music scene, but bassist Kyle Bann and drummer Will Gorin moved to Philly a few years back, and finally Leah also decided they need the room to grow and packed up the project out to LA. It is sad to lose such a talented band to the other coast, but I think it is all part of their wild musical journey.
I have seen this band go through an impressive evolution through the last decade, and the vagabond lifestyle definitely adds to the artistic taste of their music. Their sound is so uniquely unpredictable, twisting and winding through musical styles and moods, and always keeping you guessing as to where they'll go to next. Leah's guitar play is hands down some of the finest and nimblest shredding in modern music, but her vocal stanzas always seem to set the speed as she whips from deep and dark subject matter to whimsical and often improvisational-sounding ramblings that send you even deeper into the rabbit hole. I hope there are many more twists and turns for these three, and I already want more.

Locking in six figures in business is a HUGE milestone for many women. 🙏💰
Scaling to a million dollars 🚀, though, is where new challenges begin.
Without making a few key shifts, you may find yourself in the same predicament as I was four years ago when I was hustling for $100 sessions 🙁—I was just wishing and hoping I'd sign a new client and be able to pay my bills for the month.
I was OVER stashing cash in envelopes ✉ marked 'car repayments' and 'mortgage' just to make sure I could survive another week.
I've learned that six figures flows in and out fast when you're building a powerhouse team 💪 and growing your biz quickly. 💸
Diva, starting a business and scaling a business are two very different things.
I've put together a quick list for you on the top shifts I've made to hit a million in my own business… and they may not be what you think. 👀
Sure, the business strategy is important, but that doesn't change as drastically as your identity does as you reach a million dollars in your business. 🔥🔥
Who you are as a leader and business owner becomes everything.
👉 These eight sacred shifts have been crucial to my journey from six-figure success to million dollar diva.
When I started to make these shifts, I was still chasing clients and burning through hours of my week hustling with not much to show for it. Now, I've activated my divine leadership to a new level and discovered that hitting a million in revenue is actually easier than making the first $100K! 😉
Most women think they know what they want, but they're really following a template of someone else's dream life. Get to know your desires intimately. Give yourself permission to fulfill them. Feel your worthiness to receive exactly what you want. How much money do you want? What relationship do you want to be in? Where do you want to live? Own it, diva.
You may have heard me talk about this ritual before. I write every day. Sometimes my uncensored morning flow becomes content that I pass onto my clients, and other times it's simply processing ideas and using the sacred space to express myself, which shifts me into powerhouse mode. But mostly I share it! I post it. I shoot videos on it, and it becomes part of my teaching. I pay it forward, and in return my business grows. If you have no message, you have no business.
Honor your voice, and your message will come alive. Stop silencing yourself. Your millions start with a clear as f#ck message. If you want a BIG BUSINESS, you need a BIG MESSAGE that's not whispered. You need to be heard. So claim it and make some noise, diva.
I stopped wanting to barf before having 'the uncomfortable money conversation' and shifted into a position of deep service. I got on video and invited people to make a freakin' choice. I started to run my company like a media empire… and the clients began rushing in like 13 years olds going to a Taylor Swift concert.
'Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll.' 🎶🎵🎼
The shame so many women feel when it comes to selling must be released if you want to serve, soar, and shine your divine light into the world. The secret is to get out of your head and into your heart. Sales don't have to be forced. The process can be potent, loving, and powerful for all involved—a deeply sacred experience. Learn how to master selling, diva, and you'll never have to worry about your bank account again.
Make a list of qualities, character traits, and lifestyle components that are aligned with your dream client avatar. Write your content to directly address this woman. Livestream to this woman. Connect with her, and she'll show up… clamoring to work with you. You set the intention and command the connection, and she responds, diva!
Remember, CONNECTION always comes before the CASH. – Ingrid Arna
Get a handle on your relationships, diva. If you're constantly mothering your spouse, emasculating your man/woman (and exhausting yourself) by doing everything for them, and getting into their emotional drama every day, you'll struggle to succeed in your business.STOP TRYING TO FIX THEM if you want to make more money with grace!
A diva who honors her desires also creates empowering, supportive relationships in her life. Find your boundaries and stick to them. This principle also goes for your relationships with your students and clients. Be clear about what you need, want, and how you want to be treated. Carrying your team, students, or lover becomes an exhausting co-dependent grind that will always drag you into overwhelm and resentment. Don't do it. Allow yourself to be nourished, loved, and lit up, diva.
You must sacrifice overworking and overgiving if you truly want to rise to $1M in revenue. Heck even $200K a year in revenue requires you to cut out the grind diva, unless it's the good kind! Diva leadership means putting yourself first. Taking care of your needs. Being deeply nourished, rested, hydrated, and healthy at all times. Diva leadership isn't complicated; it's focused as all eff. Leadership starts with how you lead yourself.
Next, you need an offer that you can scale—an offer that allows you to serve hundreds or even thousands of students at one time without having to work more hours, diva. This is the holy grail of juicy, sublime scaling and radical, divine service. Without a proven strategy, you'll just faff about, hustle along, and drive yourself into ruin energetically, physically, and financially. I'm speaking from experience here!
I started making a heck load more money when I realized no one was going to save me, and I gave up giving a kazuzu about what people said or thought about me.
I became as deliberate as all heck and just started doing the WORK consistently. Funny how much time and space you have when you don't give a crapola about what others are doing or thinking about you—or about anything else for that matter.
I focus on the VISION.
And nothing stops me from creating it.
Be yourself. Be authentic and stand in your power. It's your difference that sets you apart, so own it, diva. No one can do that for you.
My diva students in the High-End Empire vortex are making these shifts daily too.
They're learning how to make the inner changes and vibrational upgrades required to hold space for $1M.
At the end of the day, more money is just more energy and flow, a different frequency, and an aligned strategy that brings in clients—and, yes, the cash.
When you have a team of coaches on your side and a sisterhood of support to guide you, the journey to becoming a ONE MILLION DOLLAR DIVA becomes a heck of a lot easier to embody, build, and create.
I see you, diva, and I know that taking this next step is monumental.
All it takes right now, though, is booking a chat with one of my diva advisors.
Together, we can take all the mystery out of this decision for you. My diva advisor will identify the gaps in your business and map out your six-figure strategy and a plan to scale your business with you. We'll then see if you're a fit for my program.
Serving deeply and ethically is our priority, so we either click or we don't. Either way, my diva advisor will help you clearly see your path, so you can powerfully decide where to take your business ascension next.

Have you taken the incredibly brave step before to start therapy? If so, then you know choosing a therapist can be challenging, not to mention confusing. If you haven't yet taken that step but you're considering it, then you probably also know how overwhelming starting the process of therapy can be. There are many, many options for therapists out there. However, you might not know what characteristics or specialties you should be looking for, much less what all those letters behind their name mean. I believe therapy should be as accessible and simple as possible, so I want to share a few tips to help you pick a therapist that's a good fit for you. One important thing is to look for someone you would be comfortable opening up to. This might involve the way a potential therapy looks, how they speak, and the information they put on their website. Look for those who put you at ease during your first conversation, since this means they likely will be able to do when you're talking about all of the really hard stuff in future sessions. Next, ask questions about their training and experience with other clients. You're the one looking to hire them, so be sure they have adequate experience in working with people like you or treating problems like you are wanting to work on. This doesn't mean they have to have a vast amount of specialized training on every single issue you want to address, but the therapist you choose should be able to describe how they're qualified to work you're your concerns. Last, but definitely not least, ask potential therapists about what they do for their own personal work. Good therapists genuinely believe in therapy and take part in their own therapy work as clients. They may not always currently be in therapy, but they should be open to sharing how they consistently do some type of therapeutic work.

The connectivity of things
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the internet – and, perhaps too, its greatest threat – is the way it has connected us. Looking back at the laborious correspondence of the times when I was having written battles with my father about the girl I intended to marry I observe that, in between the high drama of intermittent squabbles, life continued as per normal. The battle was drawn out but the pace allowed some reflection and the process of putting pen to paper was often calming.
My observations about connectivity began earlier than that. They were the product of the seasons and the often predictable rhythm of agriculture. As I have said before, I learnt a great deal from the farmhands I worked with. Although some of them were illiterate they were all highly educated in the sense in which that word should be used. They needed no degree to relate the weather to the crops or the spread of DDT-based* weed killers to the disappearance of field birds.
I learnt, also, that the less educated, and in particular those with what I call narrow educations, understand the connectivity of things less well than those with broader backgrounds. Perhaps this is obvious. For thousands of years humankind went about its short life with a dedication to repetitiveness that demonstrated a weakness in our ability to learn from our mistakes or to connect good outcomes with good inputs. We were unable to perceive relationships. Then our brains grew.
The more I learn about people who come to me for mentoring and coaching the more I realize that what we call creativity is not a simple learned skill or a practiced behaviour but a courageous determination to associate cause and effect in a meaningful and productive way. And that leads me to understand better the connectivity of things. Our increasing ability to do this is humankind's greatest gift. Perception, Explanation, Re-evaluation, Transformation (PERT). We do it all the time and need to do it more.
A simple example of this is the way we deal with subordinates. You are their boss and both of you are aware of that. Gorilla-like demonstrations of your position are unnecessary and certainly counterproductive. They lead to lower effort, lack of interest or, at its extreme, to sabotage. But do managers also know that a cheerful, interested and caring treatment of subordinates leads to loyalty, commitment and endeavour beyond what could be expected? If they do, do they practice it? Smaller issues can have much wider results. For example, whole businesses are put at risk because of thoughtless treatment when firing people for their incompetence.
You can test your ability to connect things quite simply. Start with the obvious – clouds in the sky, rain to follow, take umbrella. Move on to increasingly difficult relationships – a glass of water and your 'in' tray; a reflection in a mirror and a cup to tea. Make the distance between the things you are trying to connect greater and greater. Reach the point where you're trying to connect President Xi with a concrete railway sleeper in the frozen north. You'll get the idea.
Once you understand the game, try it as you go through your normal working day. Relate the way your employees are working to the conditions under which they work and the bosses they have to cope with. Observe the openness or covertness of their behaviour. The world is not full of industrial spies but any employee can easily become the conduit for leaked data. Ask Facebook.
Remoteness of connection does not decide relevance. Great data churns bring decision-making to a better science but sensing is an art computers have yet to conquer. I know very well when someone 'walks over my grave'. Inevitably I soon learn the reason for the feeling. A friend or family member have met some disaster. Needs and feelings can be connected without social media.
In short, everything is connected to everything else and we make the best of our talents when we recognise and try to improve our ability to do so. The great leaps of science and discovery come more from the David Attenborough side of our natures than from Seoul / Pyongyang summits.
When we know what is important the focus of our lives invariably turns towards others.
It is a gesture of continuity more needed today than ever before in humankind's history.

An uncompromising single limited to a 200 run, which helped The Fix to establish US hardcore as a force to be reckoned with at the turn of 1980s.
Punk may have been born in England during the late 70s, but the early 80s belonged to US hardcore punk. With The Teen Idles, Minor Threat and Black Flag doing the rounds, more and more bands emerged, backed by DIY labels and fanzines. It was a scene rife with creativity, channelling teen angst and frustration into passionate music.
A band often overlooked in the annals of the scene are Michigan's The Fix. They lasted just less than two years, but had the first vinyl release through iconic Midwestern label, Touch And Go. Their debut 7″, Vengeance b/w In This Town, is pure, unhinged hardcore at its best and helped lay the foundation for a burgeoning record label to build a scene rivalling SST in California and Dischord in D.C.
As the years have gone by, not only have The Fix become part of punk-rock lore, their debut 7″ is now considered one of the rarest punk singles in existence. With its minimal sleeve design, and only 200 copies pressed, it isn't much to look at, but has reached over £3,000 in online bidding wars. Very few copies have ever been sold on the open market, with some probably falling by the wayside, or buried deep in the collections of former hardcore kids.
The Fix had only one more release after this, Jan's Rooms, which has become another incredibly desirable record for Touch And Go collectors. Even if it hasn't reached the hardcore Holy Grail status of something like Chung King Can Suck It by Judge, its importance and rarity can never be understated.

Earlier this month, FIFA felt compelled to withdraw an article about Brazil from its website. The piece, a series of tips for World Cup tourists published in the organisation's weekly magazine, drew scorn from many in Brazil after being picked up on by the local press.
The criticisms were largely aimed at a passage on Brazil's attitude to timekeeping ("When arranging to meet someone, nobody will expect you to be there at the exact time") and the final epithet: "A Brazilian's attitude to life can be summarised like this: relaxa e aproveita – relax and enjoy."
You can understand why Brazilians – particularly those keen on portraying the country as a place of business rather than some 24-hour beach party venue – would take slight umbrage at that last point, laden as it is with easy stereotype. But really, there was very little to be offended by in the text. In fact, to the critical eye, most of its admonishments were gentle to the point of glibness.
Perhaps it should not be surprising that Brazil is feeling a little touchy about the way it is being portrayed. With the maelstrom of scrutiny over World Cup preparations showing no sign of abating, the country's shortcomings have become global news as never before. And they might have assumed that FIFA, of all people, would refrain from sticking the toy knife in.

We hope you like the products that we recommend. For your knowledge, Freshome may collect a part of the sales from the links on this page. Want to infuse your home with a bit of beachy chic for summer (or all year long)? Wait until you see these 11 beach house decorating ideas. You can bring a little coastal living into your home or apartment, even if it's not beachside, with just a few tweaks! That is how:
Add some beach house decor with nautical stripes
A blue and white stripe is a cool idea for a beach house décor. Here are some ways to add a strip of coastal living to your space:
See offers
- Add a beachy look scratched shot to your bed or sofa.
- For a chic, seaside living room, add a big bold striped woven rug.
- The hand-dyed carpet and window treatments in this beach house themed living room have a striped pattern that ties everything together.
- Lay out your everyday bedding for a coastal living environment with a striped blanket or striped linen pillows.
- A simple footstool in a blue and white stripe it may be all you need to add a bit of beachy flair to your space.
Add some wicker, rattan or sisal beach themed decor
Materials like seaweed, rattan, and sisal give the room an instant coastal living feel. The materials are rope-shaped and add texture to the space, perfect for the beach-style effect you're looking for.
- Bamboo and wicker bar stools add a coastal cottage feel to a modern kitchen.
- The bed in this beach house themed room is made with seaweed inserts at the headboard and footboard.

- This coastal living room features two wicker armchairs and a two tone sisal rug to complete the beach look.
Add indigo for a modern coastal space
Blue is the quintessential beach theme decor color. Seafoam, light blue, navy blue and turquoise are just some of the shades you can use. But for a modern coastal look, try the indigo shade. It is similar to navy blue, but a little richer and more saturated. The color works wonderfully with wood tones, black and white. Indigo color repeats in patterns on chest and bed of this coastal style bedroom.
- A modern seaside dining room features simple yet contemporary beach-themed wall decor in indigo tones.
- Textured indigo shades are found in the pillows and floor mat.
Don't you like blue? You can still enjoy the beach style
Although blue is the most typical color for beach house themed décor, you can omit blue altogether and still have a chic beach-style space. Here are some ideas:
- A relaxing beach-style living room is inspired by the pale shades of sand: cream, ivory, beige and soft pink.
- Natural wood tones, whites, and a tropical print with bright lime green create a seaside living atmosphere in this dining room.
- This elegant living room interprets the coastal modern using woven textures in natural tones and the color white.
- Minimal amounts of blue are seen in this beach house theme.
- Instead, striped textures, wood paneling, and whitewashed bricks are used to create a chic seaside space.
Slipcovered furnishings for modern seaside living
For an easy and relaxed beach vibe, add slipcovers to your sofas and chairs. Cotton or linen covers in white, khaki or beige are the most beachy. Finish off the modern look of coastal living with some beach-themed pillows.
- Crisp white covers indigo throw pillows create a modern chic seaside look.
- Overstuffed contemporary sofas are covered in ivory linen for a laid-back beach look.
- White cotton sofas with slipcovers and slate blue linen chair covers can be removed and washed or swapped for heavier fabric slipcovers in winter.
- This sleek, modern coastal dining room features several beach-style elements: indigo, wicker chairs, a whitewashed wood table, and linen armchairs on castors.
Decorate your dining table with beach themed decor
Even if you live far from the beach, you can recreate a beautiful beach-themed dining experience by creating a coastal table setting. All you need is a few tableware to match your everyday flatware. Some beach house decor items you can add include:
- Beach style napkin rings
- Linen, striped or nautical napkins
- Hurricane chandeliers
- Chargers or a small decorative plate in nautical style
- Hand-blown glasses that look like sea glass
- A table runner or tablecloth with a seaside look or a color of your choice
- the wine glasses on this table it looks like sea glass. The theme of the color of the water and the sand of this landscape of tables is reproduced one day at the beach.
- Layers of beach themed decor like nets as table runners, starfish and coastal inspired dishes create a fun beach-themed table.
Add whitewashed accents to your room
Whitening means adding a translucent stain of white to an item. It is different from painting the piece because a whitewash is more transparent and looks more natural. Choose pale, whitewashed accents for an updated seaside vibe.
- The look is similar to the tone of driftwood and adds the light and glow effect of a beach house to your room.
- The wood accents in this home were left in their natural wood tones for an elegant surfer vibe.
- Most striking of all is the modern whitewashed oak coffee table.
- A monochrome white-on-white bedroom with pale woods and sisal expands and brightens the space.
Two-tone walls are very 'beach house'
There are many ways to achieve the two-tone beach house look. You can paint the walls in two contrasting colors. Or paper the top or bottom half and paint the other. Or you can add classic nautical wood paneling to the lower half of the wall. Here are some examples:
- The two-tone wall was achieved through the use of paint and wallpaper.
- The easiest way to add two colors to your walls is by painting them.
- When painting, use painter's tape to create a sharp, defined line.
Use driftwood for a beach house theme
Recycle found objects, like driftwood and bamboo, using them as wall art or as the base for a coffee or side table.
- The owners collected driftwood on a walk along the beach and hung it freely over the breakfast nook.
- Driftwood above the fireplace mantel and as a table base adds to the modern coastal look of this open-plan living space.
Use wood paneling for a modern coastal effect
Bead boards or siding are vertical wood panels that have been used for years to insulate and serve as walls. They are found in most home improvement stores, they are paintable and easy to work with. Here are some ways you can add a beading board for a beachy look:
- A small house has crisp white walls. Vertical panels enhance the ceiling height of the small space.
- A seaside themed bed is made with wooden slats.
You can't have too many beach-themed decor items
For the ultimate beach house look, layer blues, stripes, woven materials, and other home decorations on the beach.
- A coral replica and various accents in blue and white make a beach style statement.
- Pillows are often the cheapest and most spectacular way to create a modern coastal living space.
- A wall collage of shells and soft shades of pale blue and beige make this entryway an attractive home stop.
Just a small amount of beach-themed decor can transform your space into a summer vacation getaway. Planning to add a little beach flair to your home? What's your favorite beach house decorating idea?

There's something inherently appealing about the idea of an open game console. Whether you're talking from a developer or consumer perspective, an open, well-supported ecosystem has a number of advantages, theoretically.
But with the Ouya, one of the most-hyped products in the history of open game platforms, that initial burning-hot enthusiasm wasn't great enough to overcome the practical challenges of chasing the idea of an "open" platform (scare quotes because it's easy to argue Ouya was never truly open).
Ouya hype fizzled since its launch in 2013. Recently, game hardware company Razer essentially acqui-hired Ouya's game and tech relations talent—teams that will be working on Razer's own Android microconsole efforts. While the Ouya name will exist as a publishing label at Razer, the deal effectively ends the brand's original positioning as an open, TV-connected console with standardized hardware.
But does the demise of Ouya mean that open microconsoles ("microconsoles" here defined as low cost TV-connected game devices with standardized hardware and a mobile OS) are doomed now and forever? Can there ever be a successful, truly open microconsole?
Where Ouya slipped up
The viability and success of the Ouya and other such devices is complicated. Even the idea of "success" for a microconsole needs some re-imagining if the concept of such a device is to live on.
Ryan "icculus" Gordon, a prominent computer programmer, Linux expert, and open source advocate, says in an email, "I think [an open Android-based console] can be successful, but it can't be successful in the way that, say, a PlayStation or Xbox console would be. Not everything has have profits like Microsoft or Sony to be a success. So let's avoid that metric right from the start."
"In [Ouya's] best case scenario, they were going to be a shitty imitation of Xbox Live Arcade."
Gordon points out that Ouya was founded upon a couple of ideas: that a platform could be home to a flourishing ecosystem where any entity can develop and publish games; and that there is an audience for an inexpensive, "good enough" game console.
Those are fine ideas, but, Gordon says, Ouya's execution was lacking. The final product was an Android console that was built on open systems, but was too walled off to fulfill the original pitch of an open platform.
"In practice, [Ouya] was meant to be something Not Android," says Gordon.
Game designer and consultant Tadhg Kelly got up close and personal with Ouya's operations, serving in developer relations and free-to-play advising at the company for nine months. He says that no, open microconsoles aren't necessarily doomed, but companies exploring the space need to apply important lessons learned from Ouya's failure as a device.
Kelly explained in an email:
"The four things that I think the microconsoles struggled against were:
(1) an ironic lack of openness,
(2) a player culture that never really connected with the idea,
(3) a large degree of skepticism from the gaming media and many high-profile indie developers and
(4) a product class trying to launch into the headwind on oncoming big consoles that were much more powerful and had much deeper pockets to fund game productions and secure exclusives."
Of these factors, Kelly says, the first two—openness and a disconnect with players—were the most notable.
"Getting players into the idea in the first place is a big challenge, and the key to doing so is in radical openness," says Kelly. "At the start that spirit did exist. Ouya raised that massive Kickstarter after all, so the will to see change was there. However in retrospect the huge mistake that Ouya (and all the rest) made was then trying to be too slick, professional and console-like.
"It needed to be a kind of Raspberry Pi for console game development but instead acted more like a wee PlayStation."
"It was managed and glossy when what it needed was dirty and messy," he adds. "It needed to be a kind of Raspberry Pi for console game development but instead acted more like a wee PlayStation, which was a pitch that had no chance of succeeding."
As Kelly notes, there was also a large degree of skepticism from game developers. Fredrik Wester is CEO of Paradox, the company best known for PC-based grand strategy games like Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis. He's also an outspoken proponent of open game platforms, which he (like many) argue are fertile grounds for innovation.
"The Ouya wasn't that interesting to us, and we didn't make any games for it," he says. "The main reason was the install base never reached any numbers that were close to what we were looking for. To even break even on a game, we'd need to reach every single Ouya owner, basically."
Wester, who has argued in the past that the game landscape might simply become four OSes fighting against one another, said it's hard for him to picture a third-party (i.e. non-OS holder) like Ouya jump in and become a success. "[A successful microconsole] needs to be from a company that has global reach, and a company with experience in hardware or hardware relations," he says.
"The hardcore gamers who're still paying $400 for a console and $60 games, we know the size of that market. We have no idea about the market for a $100 console," Wester adds. "But I guess that a lot of players who would buy a [$100 console] are today playing on their iPads or their cell phones."
Paths to success?
So with the serious challenges of open game consoles established, what are the possible paths to success? Gordon says companies taking on the microconsole challenge have two options: to control the marketplace and not the hardware, or to control the hardware and not the marketplace.
Ecosystems like SteamOS and Android both feature a controlled marketplace (with varying degrees of openness), and can appear on any kind of hardware. The latter ecosystem we can see does work in practice (though Android's openness does cause some headaches for developers--that's a topic of discussion within itself).
"Yeah, 'open' stuff can work, but it has to actually be open somewhere."
The other approach – controlling the hardware and not the marketplace – is the other option, says Gordon. In this case, developers would target a standard platform, but consumers would be able to buy their software wherever they want, "without any significant obligations...like how we used to walk into a big box retailer and buy a Commodore 64 disk in the 1980s. Commodore didn't get a cut of that, and the retailer only got the sales of a game that other retailers didn't get first."
Android actually has an example of this approach as well. Even though the Google Play store is the marketplace that many Android users buy from by default, they can also download alternative storefronts and run them on Android, such as Amazon's App Store.
Says Gordon, "So yeah, 'open' stuff can work, but it has to actually be open somewhere." To him and others, Ouya really wasn't open at all, outside of Ouya being based on the open Android OS. Ouya required developers to target their hardware and to sell through their proprietary marketplace -- the definition of a walled garden.
"In [Ouya's] best case scenario, they were going to be a shitty imitation of Xbox Live Arcade," he says.
Controlling both the marketplace and the hardware only works when a company uses massive amounts of resources to leverage its way into the market--i.e., if you've got the resources of Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, or Apple, sure, try building walls around your garden.
A third option
An open game console might work. But such devices, depending on how they're positioned, could see overwhelming competition from the mobile phone market.
"Where are all the people that would own a small console and play small games?" asks Gordon. "That market already exists and is flourishing. These people are walking around with a console capable of playing Unreal Engine 4 games in their pocket, and occasionally do [play games] when not using the hardware to check Facebook. Maybe path no. 3 to success is 'have AT&T subsidize your console hardware with a two-year contract.'"
In the end, says Kelly, microconsoles need to offer something new--to not ape the big console market: "To be different rather than smaller, chaotic rather than managed and ultimately very, very geeky. That's how the open console will eventually succeed."

There are dozens of high-level tarns scattered throughout the Lake District, beautiful pools usually occupying glacial hollows on the fellsides. They were given the name 'tjorns' – 'little lakes' or, literally, 'teardrops' – by the Scandinavian settlers who dominated these uplands 1,000 years ago. Easedale Tarn is one of the most popular of these pools, sitting at the foot of steep, rocky fells to the north-west of Grasmere.
It's a two-mile walk from the village to the tarn, a steady climb for much of the way. Walkers pass beside the dramatic waterfalls of Sourmilk Gill before reaching the water's edge. In Victorian times, there was a refreshments hut beside the tarn, serving light lunches and hot drinks to sightseers. It had to be demolished in the 1960s after it was damaged by vandals, but you can still see the remains of it – a large boulder to the left of the path close to the outlet stream used to form part of the hut's wall. Some of the foundation stones are also still visible.
It is possible to complete a full circuit of the tarn, but the ground at the western end is very boggy, so few people attempt it. Rather than retracing your steps to Grasmere though, consider crossing the stepping stones at the eastern end of the tarn and then dropping into Far Easedale. Sam Read, the bookshop on the corner near the village green, sells maps and walking guides that can help you decide on a suitable route.

Thoughts on the state of US politics by Gary David Goldbert, who created the sitcom "Family Ties", a favourite of mine in the 80's.
It's a great article, but what I find really amusing are the responses that random people posted to it. Notably, the posts that disagree with Mr. Goldberg's assessment of how Alex Keaton would vote in the upcoming election. Seriously people, what makes you think you know better than the man who researched, created, and developed the character?

Ontario targets games, mines and automobiles
Budget offers various incentives
March 24, 2021
Globe and Mail
By Greg Keenan
TORONTO -- Ontario doled out a tiny tax break to corporations yesterday and targeted several industries -- including auto makers, the entertainment sector and the mining industry -- for a dollop of assistance.
The Ontario budget revealed the province will move up a reduction in the capital tax before eliminating it in 2010, double the rebate it gives to purchasers of hybrid vehicles and provide a tax break for Ontario-based video game developers.
"A competitive tax system is essential to attract business investment and encourage economic growth," Finance Minister Dwight Duncan said.
Mr. Duncan pointed out, however, that high oil prices, rising interest rates and the strong Canadian dollar are expected to dampen economic growth in the province this year, to 2.3 per cent from an estimated 2.7-per-cent rate last year.
Those same factors have battered the manufacturing sector, with mill closings in forest products towns across the province and plant shutdowns at several auto parts makers.
The government missed an opportunity to address some of the problems the manufacturing sector is facing, said Ian Howcroft, vice-president of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters. "We lost 32,500 jobs in the manufacturing sector in January; those are high-paying, highly skilled jobs that will not come back without action on the part of all stakeholders, including government."
The rise in the value of the dollar alone is expected to dampen corporate profits this year, cutting profit growth to 3.8 per cent from 14.1 per cent in 2004 and an estimate of 6.2 per cent for last year.
None of the promised assistance for business amounts to major spending, but is targeted at innovation or research and development.
The capital tax will fall to 0.285 per cent next year from 0.3 per cent for most corporations.
The tax credit for hybrid vehicles, which will jump to $2,000 from $1,000 for vehicles delivered beginning today, is aimed at a growing segment of the auto market.
Auto makers have been pushing governments to increase the break they give buyers of hybrids, which are a key part of the industry's strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under an agreement reached with the federal government last year.
"That's great news," said Stephen Beatty, managing director of Toyota Canada Inc., which offers three vehicles with hybrid engines and will introduce two more this year. Toyota's best-seller is the Prius sedan, which has a base price of $31,280.
Three other auto makers offer hybrid vehicles, which combine electric motors and regenerative braking -- energy derived from the act of braking -- with an internal combustion engine to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.
By the end of the decade, Ford Motor Co. of Canada Ltd., will be installing hybrid engines in two new sport utility vehicles that it will begin assembling at its Oakville Assembly Complex in Oakville, Ont.
Finance ministry officials estimated that about 1,500 hybrids will be sold in Ontario this year, but that number is expected to grow dramatically by the end of the decade as more vehicles become available.
For the entertainment industry, the government will establish a $7.5-million fund to promote co-operation between entertainment companies and an enhancement of the Ontario interactive digital media tax credit, which is aimed at video game developers.
Ontario is well-positioned to take advantage of what is expected to be dramatic growth in video game development by the end of the decade, the budget said.
Canada is already home to the two largest game development studios in the world, thanks in part to generous tax policies in two other provinces. California's Electronics Arts Inc. and France's Ubisoft Entertainment SA employ more than 1,000 each in Vancouver and Montreal, respectively. Ubisoft, which creates the Tom Clancy games, is doubling operations in Quebec, where the government has given millions of dollars of support.
Developers in Ontario have been lobbying for tax rules to match B.C. and Quebec.
Rob DePetris, vice-president of finance at Silicon Knights in St. Catharines, Ont., said firms will now receive a tax credit of between 20 and 30 per cent of their salary costs. "We're quite pleased with what was in the budget. But it still doesn't go anything near matching Quebec."
In the mining sector, the government will provide $10-million to Laurentian University in Sudbury to help launch a Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation.
In another attempt to target innovation, the government will provide $100-million to the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ont., and the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo.

Powder Bulk Solids Staff | Jan 12, 2023
Solids handling specialist, Ajax Equipment has supplied North British Distillery (NBD), a leading distillation and maturation business, with a stainless steel grain pellet handling system comprising hopper improvements and screw feeder.
NBD is one of Scotland's largest scotch grain whisky manufacturers, producing more than one million liters of alcohol per week.
To increase flow from the existing silo, Ajax supplied a new bottom section of the hopper with steep, stainless steel-lined converging walls that form new dual outlets to the twin screw feeder. The new feeder's larger diameter screws provide greater extraction through variable pitch geometry, as well as increased tolerance of the material's variability in flow condition.
"Following flow property tests being carried out by Ajax, NBD committed to installing the new hopper sections and twin outlet screw to one of our Distillers Dark Grains storage silos. Feedback from our feeds plant operations has been positive, and they have commented on an improved movement of material within the bin and emptying times," said Paul Donaldson, project manager, North British Distillery.
"After discussing the flow issues experienced with North British Distillery, Ajax carried out testing with the grain pellets including determining the material's wall friction characteristics to select the most suitable material for the new handling system," said Eddie McGee, managing director, Ajax Equipment. "Material testing offers excellent insight into the behaviors of a bulk solid, which are valuable in the short term for equipment design, but also in ensuring long-term performance."

出典 : Amazon.co.jp
From the Kirara anime "Dropout Idol Fruit Tart," which will be aired in the fall of 2020, we have a big feature on Midori Hemo, a member of Fruit Tart!
Some fans have called her "the most evil character in the history of Kirara," and we're going to take an in-depth look at her front and back!
Midori Hemo Character Overview
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
A female character who appears in "Dropout Idol Fruit Tart".
She wears her black hair in twin-tails with a red ribbon tied in a bow at the top of her head.
Her most distinctive feature is that she has hearts in her eyes.
In the original work, the heart is shown quite often, but in the anime, the heart is always shown.
She is in her third year of junior high school and wears a white one-piece uniform.
During live performances, she wears a yellow-green & kiwi patterned outfit.
Originally, she was a new idol belonging to the major production company CatPro, but when she came to observe the live of the senior unit "Cream Anmitsu", she met the members of the new unit "Fruit Tart" belonging to Rat Production through the introduction of the producer Riri Higashi. When she met one of the members, Sakura Ino, she moved to Rat Production.
Since then, she has been living in Rat Production's fourth dormitory, known as "Mouse Manor," and has been working as an idol as a member of Fruit Tart, together with Roko Sekino, an unsuccessful former child actress, Hayu Nukui, an aspiring rock girl, Nina Maehara, an unsuccessful model, and Ino. She is 145cm tall and weighs 37kg.
She is 145cm tall and weighs 37kg.
Her bust size is C-cup, and although she is the youngest, she is the middle size in the unit, surpassing Rocco and Hayu.
She is not good with men.
Her voice actress is Moriya Kyoka.
Front: Younger sister idol who makes you want to protect her
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
When Hemo first appeared, she was a cute girl who made everyone want to protect her.
Holding in her hands a stuffed animal that resembled a ragged hamster, a character called "Boromster" that was popular in the old days, she talked softly while keeping herself small behind Lili, giving off the vibe of a small animal sister idol.
When Ino, who used to like Boromster, took a bite of the stuffed animal and leaned forward to talk to her, she was so nervous that she couldn't stand it and ran away.
The reason why Hemo wanted to become an idol was because she believed that she could change herself through it.
It was a career she had dreamed of since she was a child.
She joined CatPro because she won first place in the audition "Find the best black-haired twin-tailed girl in the whole country," which was initiated by her producer, Lili.
Although she did not win first place based on her overall reputation as an idol, and although she is not very good at singing and is still in the process of developing, she is a girl with such potential appeal as an idol that a major agency has high expectations for her.
Although she was nervous when we first met her, she was actually not that shy and got used to Mouse Manor rather quickly.
Even after moving to the new house, she continues to have a good relationship with Chiko Sekino, Roco's sister and the leader of Cream Anmitsu, and her communication skills are not low.
The name "Hemo" is unusual, but this is because Ochifuru's character's name is taken from the first letter of "Iroha ni hoheto chirinuru wo" (Iroha is the name of the city of Koganei), and the name must begin with "he". (The surname comes from the name of a town in Koganei City.
This is a plus for idols whose name is important to be remembered.
This is a plus for an idol, whose name is important to be remembered. Based on these facts, I can say that Hemo is an idol with a bright future.
As long as nothing happens to her.
