Nicolas Hytner has used a number of techniques such as camera angles, dialogue and music to represent gender through the film version of Arthur Miller's The Crucible. This is evident through the study of the characters John Proctor, Reverend Hale, Judge Danforth, Elizabeth Proctor and Abigail Williams.
The film is set in the mid 17th century in the Puritan society of Salem. The Puritans are a group of people who take the Bible literally and very seriously. Law and religion was tied together so that sin became crime and visa versa.
Salem was a place where pleasure and relaxation of any sort was restricted and people lived under rigid Puritan constraints that allowed no room for privacy. All power within the society was derived from biblical authority and the patriarchal views of Salem, thus the society was led by ministers of religion and the patriarchs, with women as the third class citizen.
Miller, reflecting his own 1953 context, is paralleling the Salem witch-hunt with the infamous drive by Senator Joseph McCarthy to expose 'radicals' and 'communists' in the USA.
Clearly, the term "witch hunt" has come to mean the slandering of innocent people using them as scapegoats for the things that are wrong in society. Discrimination against Muslims during the recent Gulf War and War on Terrorism illustrates the universality of the issue of witch-hunting.
With the context in mind, the representation of gender in Salem can be analysed. The tragic hero of the film, John Proctor, is presented as a stereotypical man of the late 1600s Salem. John is presented by Hytner as very much the moral centre of the film through the use of a variety of filmic techniques in the construction of his character. In the first scene he appears, his clothes are natural and earthy in colour and his movement while reaping is close to the natural rhythms of the earth.
This paints a picture of Proctor as a handsome masculine man, a worthy farmer doing an honest day's work. The rhythmic reaping of the field gives a comforting feel and shows John's confidence with his tools – a man used to hard work. The sunlight reflects off his face bathing him in some spiritual power. His children are out working with him giving the impression of a family man.
Images of Proctor are also painted in the scene in Proctor's household and both male and female roles in the home and family are juxtaposed. John as the head of the family is blunt and abrupt to his wife which was representative of family life at the time. John is master of his house and shows his power when he shouts the word "Woman!" at Elizabeth. The single word establishes that John's status is higher than that of Elizabeth and she must submit to his will. Proctor's dominance is shown in the repetition of the words "I'll think on it" and his slamming down on the table signifies the end of their argument. His male qualities are shown in the way he uses his body to make a point and his physical supremacy over his wife.
Juxtaposed to this is the representation of female gender through Elizabeth's character. She is constructed as a rather cold, but highly moral woman. Elizabeth's role in the home is to care for the house so John can relax whilst she waits on him. This is shown by how she begins to clean up the table as dialogue is established and how she serves John and does the dishes while he is comfortably seated. Thus her inferior status in this patriarchal society is established. The scene portrays the female gender as quiet, submissive and subservient, and a protector of the home from outer influences as we learn that she "sent Abigail on the roads" because of her sexual attraction to John.
Elizabeth is a fine example of the women in Salem. She is stoic, in keeping with the cultural expectations where any show of emotion is considered unseemly. She demonstrates the reserve that, as a woman, she has practiced all her life. This gender role is celebrated throughout the film. She is resigned, willing to accept the laws of her society however unjust which can be seen in the scene when she is arrested. Endowed as the home maker and nurturer, socially expected roles, her meek submissiveness highlights her strength of character as a wife and a mother.
This is done through the close up of her hugging her children before she is taken away. The film lauds her behaviour in this scene as quietly dignified, and her integrity is highlighted when she organises the care of her children and comforts them and hopes her husband will bring her home soon. Essentially, Joan Allen's acting accounts for much of Elizabeth's dignity, for the actress stands upright and faces her ordeal with confidence. Hence, the actions of an actor compliment the other filmic techniques that represent gender roles in the film.
Despite his patriarchal prerogatives in the household, Proctor's status is eclipsed by the status of those involved with the theocracy, such as Reverend John Hale and Judge Thomas Danforth. Reverend Hale is portrayed in the traditional stereotype as a gentleman of intellect and authority. He acquires this authority through his unique knowledge of 'the invisible world'. This can be seen in the scene when Hale interrogates the girls. His demeanour and dress linked with his patronising voice threaten the powerless girls, and establish his authority as a feared 'expert'. The tilted camera angle looking up at Hale and down at the girls reinforces this power.
Judge Danforth represents another form of biblical power in the patriarchal society of Salem. He is the enforcer of law, one with absolute power over the individual, one who holds power over life and death. In the scene of his arrival, his importance and power is signified by the music with an insistent drum beat that is very loud. The camera angle looks up at the entourage showing soldier, carriages and horses charging into Salem to take control. The crescendo of music stops with a gong like sound as Danforth steps out of his carriage in medium close up with an upward camera angle. He is dressed very formally in black with a gold buckle standing out on his hat and stands in an upright and confident stance. These factors combine to establish Danforth as the stereotypical judge – an aged man endowed with wisdom and knowledge, but nonetheless with a hint of stubbornness.
Contrasting to all this is the representation of female gender. Women in the society possess barely any power at all, not even the right of freedom of expression. This is why they were dancing in the woods and ultimately triggering the whole episode of the witch hunt. It is no wonder why a girl like Abigail would seize her chance to enjoy her powers as "God's fingers". However this empowerment of Abigail, her unnaturally strong sexual attraction and her unwilling to be a submissive maid/housewife all works against social expectations of Salem and the film's stance on being male and female – this establishes Abigail as evil and dangerous.
Apart from being represented as countering stereotypical qualities, she is also established as a manipulative whore. This could be seen in the scene where John and Abigail meet against the wall. Dialogue is used to represent Abigail as a seductress, "give me a sweet word John". Music accompanies Abigail's emotional state, simple, unmelodic and mysterious as Abigail tries to seduce John and becoming more melodic and threatening as Abigail grabs John's crotch and harangues him to position Abigail as a more powerful figure. As Abigail and John start to argue, Abigail occupies the foreground and the centre of the frame. This framing positions her as an empowered female. All this contributes the film's construction of Abigail as a resistant and countering role and a temptress.
In conclusion, Miller has used various filmic techniques to construct and represent gender roles as pointed out above.

Let's Agree to Agree
Let's Agree to Agree is a toolkit for commissioners and providers of residential and nursing care for older people to assist with the complex process of seeking agreement on the cost of care in their local area. The aim is to produce an approach that will assist all parties to provide a sustainable cost model for care homes in Wales.
IPC was commissioned by the Welsh Government to develop a toolkit to provide a methodology which could be used by both commissioners of care and providers of care alike in their fee level setting process for placements of older people. The toolkit draws on methodologies used in Wales and elsewhere in the UK. It is also based on engagement which took place with health board and local authority commissioners, providers and other stakeholder representatives at a series of events and workshops. This collaborative approach has helped in understanding the issues which can prove challenging in the fee setting process for commissioners and providers, and in addressing these in the toolkit produced.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The $8 million sale of the campus of bankrupt St. Gregory's University in Shawnee to Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. is now final.
Documents filed in federal bankruptcy court Tuesday in Oklahoma City completed the sale of the more than 70-acre campus that includes six buildings and other property.
Hobby Lobby will lease the campus to Oklahoma Baptist University, a private Christian college in Shawnee, for an undisclosed amount.
St. Gregory's was the only Roman Catholic university in Oklahoma. It was established in 1875 and closed last year over financial problems before filing for bankruptcy.
OBU spokeswoman Paula Gower says classrooms and labs in one building will be used for science courses and a performing arts center will be used for theater, choral and instrumental programs.

Introducing Activism to Children
November 17, 2016 § 11 Comments
In light of last week's election results, I am struggling, like so many millions of Americans, with the question of what I can and should do to combat the rhetoric of hate and intolerance that has prevailed in this unfathomable reality, where someone running on a platform of racism, misogyny, and xenophobia would be awarded the highest position of power in our country.
What do we do now? Specifically, how do we advocate—and inspire our children to advocate—on behalf of those who are afraid, of those who are on the receiving end of vitriolic slurs and physical threats, of those whose place in our communities is suddenly threatened? « Read the rest of this entry »
Winning Against All Odds
September 29, 2016 § 3 Comments
We are still feeling the effects of Olympics Fever in our house. Before his weekly swim lesson, JP flaps his arms back and forth across his chest, a.k.a. Michael Phelps. Emily vaults off the arm of our leather chair and lands with her hands above her head, chest lifted. I'm still smiling at the charisma of Usain Bolt, who runs so fast it's scarcely comprehensible. While we were watching the Olympics one Saturday afternoon, with footage of fencing and archery and discus throwing, JP exclaimed, "I didn't even know there were this many sports!" (We aren't typically a sports-watching family, as I've mentioned before.)
For all the glory that my children witnessed unfolding on the television screen this past summer, I don't think they really grasped the guts that were involved. The sacrifices made. The arduous, sometimes circuitous journeys of these athletes to Rio. What actually went on behind the scenes.
I started to feel like I was doing these athletes a disservice by not talking to my kids about how painfully difficult—how physically and mentally trying—these journeys to victory often are. « Read the rest of this entry »
Princesses Kicking Butt
March 31, 2016 § 1 Comment
Earlier this year, the third title came out in the now wildly popular series, "The Princess in Black," written by Shannon and Dean Hale and illustrated by LeUyen Pham (the first is here, the second is here). The newest installment, The Princess in Black and the Hungry Bunny Horde (Ages 4-7), features all the characters we've come to adore, plus a fleet of purple bunnies every bit as deadly in behavior as they are gentle on the eyes (even the PIB is initially fooled by their "language of Cuteness").
What continues to make this series so much fun isn't just the "princess pounces" and "scepter spanks" (although I do love me some alliterative fighting), but the tantalizing way in which the story lines turn traditional princess lore on its head. Princess Magnolia might be upholding the pretty in pink image back home at the castle, but outside where there are monsters threatening innocent goats and goat herds, she and her unicorn-turned-black-stallion are 100% kick-butt. « Read the rest of this entry »
The Easter Chick Has Nothing On These Goslings
March 17, 2016 § 3 Comments
Easter quickly approaches, and the race to fill Easter baskets is on. Chocolate bunnies and Cadbury eggs line the grocery checkout aisles. Toy stores have Easter displays with irresistibly soft plush chicks, some of which even peep when you drop them. Bunnies and chicks, chicks and bunnies: this is what the commercial side of Easter preaches.
If we are talking books—which every Easter basket needs—the perfect bunny-themed choice is, without question, The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes, which I wrote about here (and which—sound the trumpets—happens to be available in a petite basket-fitting edition that comes with its own golden CHARM).
As for covering the chick quota—well, I'm going to go out on a limb and tell you to scrap the chicks this year in favor of the gosling. Specifically, the incredibly cute and insufferably stubborn goslings of Ryan T. Higgins' Mother Bruce (Ages 3-8), a modern-day spoof on the age-old nursery rhyme. « Read the rest of this entry »
Connecting Across Cultural Divides
March 3, 2016 § 4 Comments
When I was eighteen, I spent a few months abroad, living with a Vietnamese family in the beautiful coastal city of Nha Trang. I hadn't known the family before arriving at their front door, and I knew exactly two words of Vietnamese. The father spoke a bit of English; the other members of the family spoke none. In my first moments in the house, nothing prepared me for the blow that I felt: the adrenaline that had coursed through my veins in the weeks leading up to my trip suddenly emptied, pooling beneath my feet, as I took my first inhalation of the unabated loneliness that would become a frequent companion in the days ahead. « Read the rest of this entry »
All the World's a Stage
February 25, 2016 § 2 Comments
As much as I try not to influence my children with my own prejudices (yes, my angel, what a beautiful spider you have crawling on your arm), I have always drawn the line at vermin. Especially possums. (I realize that possums are technically marsupials, but can we agree that in urban settings they are non-technically classified as vermin?) My exuberance one spring, upon trapping the possum that insisted on carrying her babies up and down the side of our house every night, could have been heard five blocks away. Ditto to the blood-curdling scream that erupted out of my mouth one evening, when one of those naked-looking creatures with the pink hairless tails scurried in front of my car.
Now, author Holly Goldberg Sloan has come along, and—with the help of Gary A. Rosen's surprisingly adorable pencil sketches—given the world Appleblossom the Possum, a fictional chapter book (Ages 7-10, younger if reading aloud) that might forever change the way my kids and I view this nocturnal species. « Read the rest of this entry »

The Daily Stoic for August 25th, "Respect The Past, But Be Open To The Future".
"Won't you be walking in your predecessors' footsteps? I surely will use the older path, but if I find a shorter and smoother way, I'll blaze a trail there. The ones who pioneered these paths aren't our masters, but our guides. Truth stands open to everyone, it hasn't been monopolized."
We all like to think we are open-minded people, ready to accept any new ideas. The truth is, most of the times that's not the case.
Everything that's now accepted and considered conservative was probably groundbreaking sometime in the past. New ideas always find opposition and resistance until they are widely adopted. Then, they become the "normal" thing to do.
Respect The Past, But Be Open To The Future
When I was working as a government official, one of the things that would get on my nerves most was the fact that you couldn't do anything differently. You were not there to think, you were there to obey, and do things as they've always been done. There was a marked trail, and you were supposed to follow it.
Looking back, that was one of the strongest reasons that made me quit my job. But it's only natural. Big corporations and organizations work like that. Blaming them, or the people working there would not make much sense.
What makes sense is learning from that and keeping an open mind about future ideas. As I have mentioned before, I firmly believe that traveling to other countries, seeing other people and knowing other cultures help a lot.
Today's Daily Stoic, "Respect The Past, But Be Open To The Future", suggest us to keep an open mind to new ideas. I think it's great advice. We all want to think we are super flexible, modern and accepting people, but sometimes we all stick to our own old habits.

Click below to see my picks.
First up we have these black and white geometric nails by Magically Polished. Magically Polished is one of my favourite blogs, her nail art is always so perfectly executed and I love how clear her photos are. I'm especially loving this design, I think the studs go perfectly with the geometric pattern.

My next pick is a Christmas jumper inspired manicure by @idreamof_nails. These are so cute! I do find a lot of Christmas designs can be quite garish, but the softer colours used in these make them a more subtle version of Christmas.

This post is a composite of two separate posts that originally appeared in an area of the Chamber of Secrets forum that is not open to the public. My answers to the questionnaire (once again!) tell you more about me as a reader of Harry Potter than anything else. :)
Feel free to use the comments thread to post your own responses to the questionnaire (or to my answers).
7. When do you think does critical character analysis cross the line and becomes character bashing/racist/sexist/other?
I don't see a lot of racism and sexism in HP character analysis. (And I steer completely clear of the rancorous Severus vs. Lily debate because I love both characters). I do suppose, though, that analysis dismissing the possibility that Molly might be able to duel effectively because she's a mother and housewife could be construed as verging on sexism – if not crossing the line into it.
As for bashing, well…
Let's say, hypothetically, that we're analyzing a character who does some things that are mean spirited and some things that help in the fight against Voldemort. And let's say, hypothetically, that someone does not like the character because of the mean spirited things the character does.
Disliking the character is not bashing. Indicating that the mean spirited things the character does are distasteful is not bashing.
However, let's say that dislike for the character leads to an analysis that automatically pre-defines all of the character's actions and motives as "bad" – even actions and motives that would be considered "good" if the person's favorite characters did them. I would consider that to be bashing.
Let me use James as an example. I dislike James. That is not bashing. I am appalled by his actions in SWM. That is not bashing.
However, if I defined James's actions on the night Voldemort comes to Godric's Hollow in terms of James's actions in SWM… and then decided based upon SWM that nothing James ever does could possibly be construed in a positive light – and that therefore his brave and selfless actions on the night of his death must by definition be analyzed negatively – that would be bashing.
It's sort of the character analysis equivalent of the ad hominen attack. Basically, this is a form of analysis that imposes a pre-defined analytical outcome based almost exclusively on dislike of the character and that then manipulates the text in order to arrive at that pre-defined outcome.
I can think of other characters besides James who could be subject to this sort of analysis. ;)
8. To what extent do you allow your opinions of the characters to be swayed by the opinions of other characters?
Very little, in the end.
That doesn't mean that I'm not influenced while I'm reading by characters' opinions. Reacting to and testing characters' opinions against other evidence is part of the reading experience imo. Basically, I always leave open the option to revise a character opinion based on additional information that I'm shown.
Until I read SWM, I didn't put any stock at all in Snape's opinions of Marauders. But for some reason, before I read TPT, I put pretty close to absolute trust in what Sirius had said about Snape. My final opinions were influenced more by what I was shown than by what I was told.
I do think that Harry's a bit of a special case because he's the Hero of a monomyth. It is inherent to the structure of the monomyth that the Hero have great wisdom at the end of the tale. So I do put a lot of stock in Harry's final opinions… but that's due to the mythic structure of the tale.
And speaking of the monomyth, etc. – I made some comments earlier about symbolism. Basically, I will engage in symbolism if the symbolism is obvious… or is suggested by JKR. But I'm not big on just combing through the text trying to force symbolic readings on it.
For example:
In Pottermore Rowling revealed her reasoning behind giving the Dursleys the number "4" in their address. She says that she sees "4" as a "hard" and "unforgiving" number, hence it winds up in the Dursley street address.
But that leaves open the question of why she creates 4 Houses at Hogwarts and 4 founders of those Houses. Is she using the same logic in creating 4 Houses as she used in assigning 4 to the Dursley address? Or is she using an entirely different logic (for example, the number of elements)? In other words, is it merely coincidental that there are also 4 Houses or does it have some kind of significance in relation to her opinion of the number 4?
Since JKR herself brings up the issue of number 4, I think this type of exploration is fairly natural and organic, not forced. But I can guarantee that if she hadn't brought it up in the first place, I certainly would not be picking through the text looking for groups of 4 and applying some sort of symbolic approach to them! (actually, I'm not picking through the text even now!)
Speaking of the 4 Elements… JKR has stated explicitly that each House is associated with one of the Elements:
Gryffindor – Fire
Hufflepuff – Earth
Ravenclaw – Air
Slytherin – Water
So, since the Elements are pretty obviously important to JKR's conception of the Houses, I think it's fairly natural to explore the meanings of each of the elements and see how each House's element applies to the House.
So yeah, I do think that there are reasonable applications of symbolism in the text.

Ghazi has done wonders for Rana and his career. The underwater war drama has opened to some good reviews all over and everyone is only talking about Rana and his choice of films.
The film is based on a submarine and the way Rana has given a performance in this film has won the hearts of many. Directed by Sankalp Reddy this film is releasing in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu making it even more exciting.
All the critics have some superb things to say about the film which is a first of its kind on Indian screens

A cop-killer by any other name is still a cop-killer
In his speech from Miami yesterday, President Trump demanded that Cuba return convicted cop-killer Joanne Chesimard to the US to face her punishment.
And that didn't sit well with Russia-conspiracy kook and Black Lives Matter stooge Joy Reid. She took time out from her endless attacks on Donald Trump to … well … attack Donald Trump.
Trump name checks Assata Shakur (calls her by her former name, Joanne Chesimard) as a dog whistle to his people. #TrumpingCuba
— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) June 16, 2017
Oh, Joy.
Since I know you Lefties are all super in love with Shakespeare right now, permit me to put this in a way you might understand.
What's in a name? That which we call a cop-killer
By any other name would still be a cop-killer.
So Joanne would, were she not Joanne call'd,
Retain that homicidal identifier which she owes
Without that title.
But of course Joy has a problem with it.
It's probably a good thing Joy doesn't read PatriotRetort.com.
I call Bradley Manning "Bradley Manning" not Chelsea.
I call Wesley Cook "Wesley Cook" not Mumia Abu Jamal.
And I call Joanne Chesimard … well … "Joanne Chesimard" not Assata Shakur.
Apparently by a dog whistle "to his people," Joy means "the people who live in the Real World, not the fantasy world of hyper-indulgent, politically-correct cucks."
But she isn't the first to play word games with Joanne Chesimard – the cop-killer who escaped from prison and fled to communist Cuba.
In 1998, Congresswoman Maxine Waters of
Hancock Park South Central LA wrote a plaintive letter to Fidel Castro asking him to keep Joanne Chesimard safe from "political persecution."
Yes, my friends. To Crazy Maxine, Chesimard was a political prisoner fleeing "persecution" not a cop-killer who escaped jail and ran to Cuba.
Maxine's letter was prompted by a 1998 Congressional Resolution to demand Cuba return this cop-killer to the US.
And, as then-president of the Congressional Black Caucus, Maxine wanted to communicate through back-channels with an enemy of the United States to let him know not to cooperate with the US Government.
Huh. You'd think Maxine would object to that kind of behavior.
Any old how, in her letter, Maxine wrote:
I, and some of the Members of the Congressional Black Caucus, mistakenly voted for House Concurrent Resolution 254…
"Mistakenly voted?" Which only goes to prove that Maxine wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer in 1998 either.
…which called on the Government of Cuba to extradite to the United States Joanne Chesimard and all other individuals who have fled the United States from political persecution and received political asylum in Cuba.
"Political persecution" and "political asylum." She killed a cop, Maxine, you mindless git.
No wonder the Castros knew they could get the better of the United States. With geniuses like Maxine Waters taking the time to let them know how stupid she is, who can blame them?
Maxine goes on to tell Castro that the Republicans are just trying to look tough for the November mid-term elections.
Clearly Maxine mistook this dictator from an enemy state for the host of "Meet the Press."
Then, as proof that this was nothing but a deception, Maxine offers this gem:
As evidence of their deceptive intent, the resolution did not mention Assata Shakur, but chose to only call her Joanne Chesimard.
Oh yes! How sneaky of those dastardly Republicans!
They called the cop-killer by the name she was arrested and imprisoned under!
The letter is both hilarious and pathetic.
Maxine actually defends Chesimard's killing a cop because, as a member of the Black Liberation Movement, Chesimard was the victim of political persecution.
And you know what really grates my cheese? Maxine Waters is still in the US Congress.
Every two years since 1998, this wretched America-hater, takes an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
A woman who communicated with Fidel Castro to let him know that she is on his side, not the side of the United States of America.
But Trump needs to be impeached, right Maxine?
You can read the whole letter thanks to former NYPD officer John Cardillo who posted it on Twitter yesterday:
In her 1998 letter to Castro, @MaxineWaters claimed terrorist Chesimard left the U.S. to avoid political persecution. It was a prison break. pic.twitter.com/GwbxLlxTLd

This is the real reason the Democrats oppose Donald Trump.
They aren't opposed to him because they think he's incompetent and dangerous. And they don't oppose him because they sincerely believe he's a Russian mole.
No. They oppose him because in deep down in their dried-up, shriveled hearts, they know he just might succeed at returning sanity, patriotism and the rule of law back to the United States of America.
And in so doing, he just might undo some of the damage these America-hating cranks caused lo these many years.

I'm naturally a jolly type of person and I smile and laugh- a lot. Although some people advise against smiling too much as they claim that it's the leading cause of wrinkles, I still smile because I believe in the song Charlie Chaplin wrote and my favourite line is this-
'You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile…'
I've had my fair share of not so great encounters with people who choose to stay in a negative state of mind and perhaps, without them realising it, they spread their negativity with others. I believe that emotions are contagious. There's a fine line between opening up and venting to someone- sharing our feelings and thoughts to taking our anger and frustrations out on the people closest to us.
I have quite a bubbly personality and in actual fact, sometimes, when I take some time to be a little quiet, people would always ask me if there's something wrong. They say they're not used to seeing me without my smile. We do need to take some time out to ourselves and although we can't be expected to smile and joke around all the time, we can make an effort not to make the people around us uncomfortable or scared to even talk to us.
Always remember that you have the power to make someone else's day good or bad so try and spread as much joy as you can even in the smallest of ways. If you do find yourself surrounded by people who try and burn your happiness, turn the other way.
Your happiness is too precious.

Point of Sale. Most people think of a system that runs transactions, handles payments and prints or emails customer receipts. Most retailers are using POS systems that evolved from electronic cash registers with the transaction, payment and customer receipt being the core features. But today, a POS system should do so much more; it should be retail inventory management software able to provide you the data and metrics you need to make smart business decisions.Your POS system is at the heart of your retail enterprise and should be utilized by every member of your retail team, from the sales floor to the C-Suite. In order to drive sales and margins higher, retailers need POS systems that are useful across every function in the company - including buying.
I recently had the opportunity to speak with a multi-million dollar retail enterprise about how they are using their flexible and robust POS system. Here's a look at what we learned from this chain's Director of Buying, and how he uses their POS retail software to prep for and buy at market.
Inventory Management in Retail
At the root of their role, buyers go to market to fill their 'open to buy'. The most successful of buyers buy not based on appearance, but on crucial data. But how does one capture all this data? The retail enterprise I spoke with uses Springboard Retail as their POS retail software which was built expressly to track data. On the simplest of levels, Springboard allows them to study the numbers to understand how selling went last year. Which products moved, which didn't. Understand that skirts outperformed shorts. That yellow sold heavily in March and tanked in August. That blue jeans sold at a 58% margin, while white jeans sold at a 41%.
An important part of inventory data is that it should be kept within a pointed time and Springboard is the only existing POS retail software with this feature. The buyer we spoke with knows that last year, at the end of the second quarter, his sell-through for the Cammy Jumpsuit was 66.5%, whereas the sell-through for the Jaxon Jumpsuit was 38.2%. His smart POS software allows him to collect data, spot trends and understand sales history like never before. And with all of this data in his rear view mirror, he's better equipped to buy for the upcoming season.
How do they capture these numbers though? Retailers are able to run selling reports by department, location, and date. In addition, the data has the ability to virtually place the orders for the buying team. Knowing how varying lengths of skirts in specific attributes sold in deliveries 1, 2, and 3 of summer 2015 can determine how heavily they should buy in those styles with this year's corresponding attributes. Knowing how well those skirts sold in his Philadelphia storefront versus his New York storefront will determine how he should buy for different locations as well.
Examining your Retail Margins
Additionally, buyers should examine margin and intelligently make decisions when it comes to not only buying, but markdowns. It's necessary to pay attention to both sales level and profit level; our buyer knows that he sold a lot of white jeans last year, but only at a 41% margin. "A sign that I need to dig deeper into what's going on there," he says.
Now the prep is complete and market is here. You've analyzed last year's data, and now you've arrived armed with information and are ready to buy. Cloud based POS systems such as Springboard Retail are key when it comes to physically traveling to market as it's available on every handheld tablet device. Once the product is in front of them at market, buyers can make real time decisions based on data. Having such data at a buyer's fingertips gives them additional power in the way that they are able to consult and share numbers with vendors, and in turn make better buying decisions and drive effective negotiations. You think we need more of the printed silk tunic? Here's how it performed last year; I need a discount if you want me to carry it again!
Another efficient feature our buyer loves about his POS retail management system is its ability to integrate with both NuOrder and Joor, two modern tablet-based buying programs. Orders placed in either of these platforms are instantly synced to his Springboard Retail POS system.
Whether in the initial prepping phase for buying season, or physically at any buying show, there's no reason that buyers today should struggle to get the the key data they need to make smart, strategic and valuable buying decisions for their retail stores.

I am Johanson of the Angelic realm of the Goddess Isis. The Queen has asked me to come to you today to give you a message for humanity to keep resolving to work towards growth and ascension. This new year on your planet will bring many challenges and opportunities for growth along with the ability to discern what brings joy and what does not in an even clearer way than ever before. The angels always ask you to follow your joy to your true path of enlightenment, for anytime you are told that everything must be hard work and be exhausting that is a sign that it is not of the highest good for you or others. True growth and ascension is a joy and is the path of least resistance. It does not feel like work or like sacrifice. God wants to make your ascensions as easy as possible and as enjoyable as possible. Listen to your hearts in this coming year and veer your ships towards that which brings you joy and happiness as that is where your true north lies and where you will find the greatest gifts and purpose for your lives. This year is the year of taking all that you have learned and putting it into practice in your worlds. You do not need to go out and proclaim to the world that you are a highly intuitive or spiritual being in order to do your divine work. We have all said many times, the best and most productive way is to simply do what you do every day but with the intention of spreading joy and uplifting others along with yourselves. Take what you know and apply it in the every day and mundane world and you will see magic start to happen all around you. This is a great gift you can share with your world. Work in your corner of the world and if everyone does this then the whole world will be filled with joy, peace and light. This is Gaia's wish as is it God's. Throughout the challenges of the coming year always keep joy and love as your guiding lights. Even in tragedy there is light and joy. Look for it and seek it out. It will be there waiting for you to find it like a lost jewel.
It is our desire and hope that our message is helpful and we have enjoyed connecting with you today. Go with love and walk in joy.
Johanson of the Angelic Realm of the Goddess Isis
Isis says:
I am your Queen, Isis. I come to you today to remind you of your true natures. You are all powerful spiritual beings of infinite love and knowledge. As Johanson spoke of above, it is imperative that you keep joy and love in your hearts at all times. The challenges that are coming will test your strength and resolve and dedication to the Light and Love of Source. There is a war about to begin. Some will say it's been going on for millennia. Perhaps that is true. But this new war is about to start and it is a great challenge for all light workers and people of faith and love. It is the final challenge before it all cracks open and the last of the darkness that has been ruling your world loses its strength. You are warriors in this battle and are more powerful than you know. Stand strong and resolute in your faith and knowledge of what is right and true. Let love, light and truth be your guiding beacons as you work throughout the year and fight your individual battles. I wish you all well and am fighting along side all of you for the truth. Call on me whenever you feel the need and I will be there with you.
Always your Queen, Isis

Valais Park is ideal for large group gatherings and family reunions. It contains 2 covered pavilions with picnic tables, a baseball diamond, tennis courts, basketball court, volleyball court, children's playground, restrooms and an off-leash dog park. There is also a paved walking trail surrounding the park.
UPDATE on Valais Park and Basketball Court Repair - October 2018
The resurfacing has been completed, and the berms and trees removed. We are not going to be opening the courts up this year because there are still things that need to be finished before the snow flys.
Still this year,
In April 2019 (irrigation water is turned off Oct. 15, so it's too late to plant this year. It comes back on April 15th )
June 2018 - Valais Park Tennis and Basketball Court Repair has begun
While these large trees may appear to be ancient, they were only planted about 10 years ago. These fast growing, shallow root trees are ruining the courts and trails. Also, the shallow roots make the trees unstable in strong winds. Several have blown down already which is a safety concern for the City. We will be replanting appropriate trees and re-surfacing the courts this summer. Thank you for your patience as we work to make this amazing park safe and beautiful.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mayor Johnson email@example.com or 435-654-3223

Multi-stakeholder consultation forum proposed to transform the Bihar dairy sector
Despite the crucial role played by dairy development plays in strengthening the economy and job creation in rural Bihar, milk productivity has hardly increased in decades. Recent increases in milk production have been driven by increases in the number of animals. A study at the International Livestock Research Institute, published in January 2016, sets out the challenges facing the sector and suggests a way forward, the establishment of a multi-stakeholder consultation forum/platform to share and discuss the nature of interventions each organization is undertaking in the dairy livestock sector.

Bringing home the bacon, a Vietnamese native pig-farming success story
Originally posted on VietPigs:
After buying six sows from ethnic minority villages in Vietnam in 2009, Nguyen Van Minh began raising native/indigenous pigs. Six years on, Nguyen, affectionately known as Mr Duc, had increased that number to 130 sows, and was supplying around 500 slaughter pigs annually to the market. His annual earnings had grown…
Getting to the root of the problem: Feed and fodder interventions for Bihar's dairy sector planned
Insufficient supply of feed and fodder for animals remains a problem for dairy farmers in India, particularly in the state of Bihar. Feed and fodder scarcity limits animal productivity of products such as meat and milk, resulting in reduced incomes especially for smallholder dairy farmers. Continue reading

In a seemingly no-brainer of a collaboration, Adult Swim's Rick & Morty have been partnering with the rap industry recently, as their appearance for Run the Jewels' video "Oh Mama" from their record RTJ3, marks their second just this month. Last week, they were featured in the video for the opening track to Logic's newest mixtape, Bobby Tarantino II.
Traveling around space, the cartoon duo reference various Quentin Tarantino projects along the way (there seems to be a theme here). Visiting a Mos Eisley-like Star Wars Cantina scene, the two have Pulp Fiction briefcase that sets them off on an adventure that brings them to fighting aliens and acquiring what can only be presumed as "the jewels." As Paste reports, the Adult Swim cartoon and Run the Jewels have even collaborated in the past with a "Rick the Jewels" cross-platform sweatshirt.
The release of the video for "Oh Mama" is accompanied with the announcement that Run the Jewels will be headlining the Adult Swim Festival in LA on Oct. 6-7th. Other acts have yet to be announced. Run the Jewels have also recently created their own craft beers, been Grammy-nominated for their contribution to the film Baby Driver, and released a new collaboration with their fellow artist and producer Boots called "Delete Delete." Watch the Rick & Morty assisted video for "Oh Mama" below:

Around the 1880s, a "craze" for building recreational huts on Mount Wellington first started. The Mountain had always been a dominating backdrop to the city and it greatly influenced people's thoughts and imaginations. Hobart had a strong sense of identity and independence in the days before necessity compelled Tasmania to join the Federation. As the city had become very well established by this time, people's thoughts naturally turned to leisure, and what better area to use for recreation than the mountain on their back doorstep?
Accordingly, small groups of friends, coworkers, or members of syndicates walked up the Mountain in the weekends carrying all kinds of tools and equipment, and vied with each other to find the most attractive, secluded sites, and to build the most elaborate structures they could, in which to spend their leisure hours.
Typically, a mountain hut would consist of a levelled site by a small stream, a chimney built of local stone, and a wooden structure embellished by extraordinarily elaborate intertwined dogwood branchwork. Many of the hut syndicates prided themselves on their fine cuisine and their love of culture and gentle company. Interiors were furnished with all of the comforts of home; one of the huts reputedly even contained a piano!
Very little is left of most hut sites today; an experienced eye and the instincts of a sleuth are needed to discover the remains – a rock platform here, a pile of mossy rocks there – which mark the only evidence of this most interesting and romantic pastime. Since these structures were almost always built of timber, they were nearly all destroyed by the fires which ravaged the Mountain in 1912.
However, the sites are still picturesque. Sometimes a visitor might have the excitement of discovering a well preserved chimney or other unusual remains. In October 2012, we were delighted to rediscover the remains of Clematis Hut, which had been lost for around a hundred years. The chimney remains and levelled recreation area in the front are nestled by the side of a secluded stream and surrounded by huge man ferns. Even the original foot track into the site, visible in many contemporary postcards, still exists today as a reminder of the pre-war Tasmanian people who spent their free time in creativity, hard work,innovation, imagination, and hospitality.

|The name is Shiftwell. Holley Shiftwell.
|~ Holley.
Holley Shiftwell is the tetartagonist of Disney/Pixar's 2011 animated feature film Cars 2.
Along with Finn McMissile, she is another British secret agent and Mater's girlfriend.
She is voiced by Emily Mortimer.
Holley is happy, serious and focused in her missions.
Cars 2
Holley is a young British desk agent turned spy-in-training who is stationed in Tokyo. Well-educated and sharp, she knows every trick in the book (or rather, she relies on every trick in the spy manual). She is armed with all of the latest state-of-the-art spy equipment imaginable, from hidden cameras and concealed weapons to a telescoping utility arm and a holographic pop-up display. Holley is a highly motivated agent, but is fresh out of the academy, so her experience is based on lessons learned in school rather than real-life situations. When Finn McMissile requires Holley's technical expertise for his latest top-secret field operation, she finds herself pursuing a rendezvous with the most unlikely candidate—Mater, an innocent tow truck caught up in the intrigue, who is mesmerized by the beauty of his newest friend.
At the end at the movie, she says she is Mater's girlfriend and says to Mater that he still owes her a first date.
- In some Lego Cars 2 sets, it includes Holley. However, that version of her is a little bit more pinkish (in the film and other media however, Holley is purple).
- Her license plate is HS1201, which includes her initials. The number 1201 is Emily Mortimer's birthday (December 1).

After surveying over 11,000 people on their website, both locations of the Vortex is going smoke free. That's right. No smoking allowed at the Vortex in Midtown and Little Five Points.
In January, The Vortex began surveying customers about smoking at the bar and on February 1st the results came in and smoking at these locations went away.
On their website , owner Micheal Benoit released a statement about the change:
As it says right on the cover of our menu, "Everything we offer is bad for you." Since 1992, The Vortex has always been the place where you can eat, drink and, yes, smoke to your heart's content. And many people stand by the old cliché, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." But the plain truth is, we've noticed fewer and fewer of our customers utilizing the option to smoke at our bar. And we've also seen a significant decrease in the number of our employees who smoke. A few years back it was 100%. Now, it's definitely a minority.

>Operation Metro is a Glimpse at BF3 Map Design
>Battlefield 3 is shaping up to be a very strong contender for everyone's game of the year. We here at KBMOD are definitely anticipating it more due it to it's PC-centric launch and the fact that really the Call of Duty series has gotten slightly stale. Hell, we don't even know if Modern Warfare 3 will have dedicated server.
This video shows some game play from a map in BF3 that is contained (well, sort of, if everything wasn't blowing up) in a ruined subway tunnel and then through the turn-styles and ticket counters. What Battlefield does here is succeeds at having the massive scale maps with 64 people such as the tank battle footage from E3 and then have that work in an urban close quarters environment. This is no small task. To me, usually the large scale battle isn't going to succeed in close quarters (40 man shipment anyone?), but they've managed to strike a very good balance. The map sort of "ends" in a city center which is larger and just heightens the intensity.
Encouraging signs for this highly anticipated game. I've heard that the map design is flawless throughout. I'm drooling at the chance to get my hands on beta now.

North Sea week
Cult regatta with tradition
On the first day of boot Düsseldorf, the entry lists for Germany's largest and only ocean regatta, the North Sea Week, will traditionally be opened. Thus boot Düsseldorf is the start of this unique regatta event with cult character, which is held every year over Whitsuntide off Helgoland.
The idea was born in 1908 when Kaiser Wilhelm II commissioned the Weser Yacht Club to organise a regatta. The idea of the WYK for a race on the Außenweser, however, was given the cold shoulder by many Baltic Sea sailors. Although the Emperor preferred Kiel, the Baltic Sea was again not demanding enough for the North Sea sailors.
History of the North Sea Week
Many internationally acclaimed regattas were sailed on tidal waters. Therefore the WYK together with the Northern German Regatta Association founded a new regatta series in 1922 and already in the same year the first North Sea Week took place. In the second year almost 70 boats had already registered for the new regatta. 1925, for the 4th North Sea Week, Helgoland was the destination for the first time.
Guard rails, radio direction finders, GPS, echo sounder - all this was not invented yet. The island had to be found with the compass. After 13 years of forced hiatus due to the 2nd World War, 51 yachts from Cuxhaven and Bremerhaven started again in 1953 towards Helgoland for the 19th North Sea Week. In the 60's there were already about 15,000 people visiting Helgoland for the North Sea Week and the number of registered yachts rose to more than 100 for the first time.

More about the North Sea Week
Amateurs, Professionals, Battle Travellers
In the following decades the regatta increased in popularity, especially the Admirals Cup eliminations of 1973, where for the first time a German crew could win the Cup, caused the medial interest but also the interest of the sailors in the event to skyrocket. After the high point in the 70s and early 80s, interest in the regatta gradually declined. After various innovations in the sailing sector as well as in regatta and event formats, the North Sea Week has been on a clear growth trajectory again since 2010 and the number of registrations is constantly rising.
The North Sea Week is for amateurs and professionals alike with its various shuttle regattas from Bremerhaven, Wilhelmshaven, Cuxhaven and Hallig Hooge, with the opening regatta series SE Vibe Out Series, which consists of three individual regattas (Sundowner, Hummer 1 and Hummer 2), as well as with the races Capitell Cup round Helgoland, Helgoländer Acht, Family Cruiser Cup and since 2017 the Helgoland Challenge. The two long-distance regattas Pantaenius Rund Skagen (510 nautical miles) and the Helgoland-Edinburgh regatta (420 nautical miles) alternate annually to conclude the North Sea Week.
The North Sea week can also be enjoyed without actually sailing. Helgoland has a unique climate thanks to the nearby Gulf Stream and its location about 30 nautical miles off the coast. The pollen-poor, dust-free air and the varied nature are enjoyed not only by the people but also by about 700 seals. Many are almost within reach, especially on the dune. The offshore bathing island offers extensive beaches and clear, healthy North Sea water. No wonder that many sailors also bring their families and many battle travellers with them to the island. Some sail regattas, others simply go on holiday. And in the evening they celebrate together. And the North Sea Week is famous for the parties in the boot Düsseldorf Race Village.
boot Düsseldorf & North Sea Week
In 1977 the "Düsseldorfer Yacht Club" was accepted into the circle of organizers of the North Sea Week. After the anniversary celebration of the 75th edition of the regatta in 2009, there was more news from Düsseldorf at the beginning of 2010: After the new partnership between boot Düsseldorf and Nordseewoche had been announced, the new main sponsor did not hesitate to offer a welcome beer for the 76th North Sea Week in the Alexseal Offshore Lounge at the Helgoland harbour in the boot Düsseldorf Race Village.
Sailing Center at boot Düsseldorf
Dinghies, yachts, multihulls, new equipment and information from the professionals - it is something for every sailor at the Sailing Center of boot Düsseldorf.
Discover the Sailing Center
During the entire Whitsun weekend, boot Düsseldorf, under the motto "Competence and Partnership", has since been providing indispensable information about sailing weather in cooperation with wetterwelt.de, presented on site by Dr. Meeno Schrader. Every year on Saturday evening after the regattas, the big regatta party, which is also organised by boot Düsseldorf, attracts visitors with a traditional Whitsun ox and a colourful entertainment programme.

What's the story?
A no deal Brexit risks wiping out the recovery made by the UK since the economic crash in 2008. Read more in the Independent
How reliable is the story?
Reliable. The warning is from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) -- an international economic body -- and matches other warnings about a no deal Brexit.
What's the background?
In its annual health check of the UK economy, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that a no deal Brexit would entail substantial costs. Evidence
The organisation stated that all Brexit scenarios would have a negative impact on the UK economy, and the more disruptive the Brexit, the worse the effect. Evidence
It is predicted that for every 1% that GDP declines, there will be a 0.4% increase in the UK's budget deficit. Evidence
The effects will be worse if Brexit disproportionately damages tax rich sectors, such as finance, which is more likely to happen in a no deal scenario. Evidence
Moreover, migrants from other EU countries to the UK are net contributors to the UK economy, and reducing EU migration will likely have a negative impact on the UK tax take. Evidence
The IMF warned all of this will far exceed any savings made from ending contributions to the EU. Evidence
Philip Hammond, Chancellor of the Exchequer, endorsed this analysis, warning that no-deal Brexit will wipe out any gains made from £141 billion of cuts and tax rises. Evidence
- This comes just a week after the chancellor warned that a no deal Brexit under the current government would result in further austerity. Evidence
