153 for 3
Angus Hinton 30 ret, Tom Simpson 30 ret
If there has ever been a colder evening for cricket, none of the watching parents could remember it. Luckily the Carlton youngsters were undeterred by the Arctic conditions and won convincingly.
Calum won the toss and decided to bat. Angus H and Tom S were both patient, waiting for the ball to come to them and resisting the temptation to go for the aerial route. Both retired unbeaten on 30 after classy innings and Calum was going well before his partner ran him out. Once Kamran found his timing he got the scoreboard ticking over with some stylish shots before playing over the top of a ball that just clipped the bails.
Sam and Gregor formed a good partnership and they were both timing the ball well towards the end of their innings before Gregor fell to a fine catch off the last ball of the 20th over as Carlton posted a formidable 153 for 3.
Three overs into the Heriot's reply and the score was 1 for 3, with openers Angus H (2) and a rapid Sam M (1) immediately in the wickets. Everybody got 2 overs and bowled well - Tom K was on a hat-trick at one point, Angus B bowled two great overs for just one run (a no-ball), Gregor Shand also picked up 2 wickets and the skipper bowled one ball and picked up the final wicket by hitting middle stump.
A comprehensive win. Surely it will get warmer soon?
171 for 0
Angus Hinton 31 ret, Tom Simpson 30 ret, Olly Brown 31 ret
34 all out
Tom Kujawa 5 for 3
Another comprehensive Scottish Cup win, this time over an inexperienced SMRH side in a match that was switched to Grange Loan with Inverleith still waterlogged.
Batting first, Angus H started aggressively and was fortunate to benefit from a dropped catch in the first over. However, he then found the boundary with ease and soon retired on 31. Fellow opener Tom S once again played the anchor role perfectly, while Olly came in at 3 and played some fine shots. Tom and Olly retired in the space of a few balls, allowing a fine partnership between Sam and Kamran to take Carlton to an imposing 171 for 0 off their 20 overs.
Angus B and Tom K opened the bowling and after the first four overs the score stood at 2 for 6! A tight opening over from Angus immediately put pressure on the SMRH openers, resulting in a great run-out from Ruairidh with only one stump to aim at. Tom picked up a wicket in his first over, which Angus followed with a maiden. The next two balls each produced a wicket for Tom, who then held his nerve to deliver a hat-trick ball that demolished the stumps and sparked prolonged on-field celebrations.
Tom's hat-trick ball
Not content with this, Tom then collected his fourth wicket of the over off the final ball.
A fine innings from the SMRH no 8 Seb stopped the rot before wickets for Ruairidh, Kamran, Angus H and Sam sealed a comprehensive win. Special mention for Murray who was unlucky to see two catches go down off his bowling.
A huge thank-you is due to Liz for managing the last minute change of venue and Alasdair for making it possible.
47 all out
Harry Simpson 3 for 4, Pete Gill 2 for 0
48 for 0
Tom Simpson 25*, Calum Everett 19*
A second comprehensive Carlton victory over SMRH in two days, this time by the Carlton Cobras squad in their first League match of the season.
SMRH won the toss and elected to bat. Calum E claimed a wicket, clean bowled, with his first delivery. Ruairidh effected a run out in the third with the score on 8. When Callum W bowled a wicket maiden, SMRH looked in trouble on 22 for 3. However, they did well to rebuild and as the tenth over began with them on 40 for 3 it looked as if we might have a match on our hands.
However, their top scoring batsman was dismissed to a sharp stumping by Tom off the bowling of Maxwell. At that point SMRH virtually ceased to score and in an attempt to force the run rate up they lost another wicket to a sharp run out, this time from a direct hit by Callum W.
Captain Everett then hit on the clever ruse of bowling the youngest members of the team, Harry, Gregor and finally Pete. Harry won two wickets with sharp stumpings off brother Tom (there will be harmony in the Simpson household tonight!) and added a third clean bowled. Gregor further applied the screw with a tight maiden over, before Pete stepped in for the kill with two clean bowled wickets from his first two deliveries in U13 cricket leaving him poised on a hat-trick! SMRH all out for 47.
Carlton's openers, Tom and Calum E, knocked off the runs very comfortably with only one chance given but dropped. A Carlton victory by 10 wickets.
The Cobras can take great heart from this performance, albeit against an inexperienced SMRH side. There will be much tougher games ahead but they can go into them knowing that the squad has real depth and talent. Hopefully those boys that did not see much of the action today will see their moment come in future games.
79 all out
Andrew O'Brien 3 for 3, Calum Everett 3 for 3
95 for 6
SMRH won the toss and elected to bowl. Captain Tom stood aside and allowed someone else to volunteer to open. Ruairidh was the only taker and so it was he and Calum E who got proceedings under way. The pairing put on 40 with some deft shots and smart running between the wicket, taking advantage of some loose SMRH fielding. They were looking set when Calum E was out LBW for 13 trying to clip one off his legs. Hector joined Ruairidh and they added a further 11 before Ruairidh was runout for 17.
George came in at 4 and added 16 with Hector before Hector was bowled trying to up the run rate with some big hitting. George scored 16 before being runout, with Callum W caught on 7 and Maxwell also caught for 1. The innings was ended with Tom coming to the crease and running up byes and singles with Callum W and latterly Kit. 95 for 6 was not as many runs as we felt we could have made but it felt like enough.
But was it?... The SMRH innings got off to a flying start with 15 comng off the first over - the SMRH openers looked like they might be rather dangerous after all. Andrew immediately impressed with his looping accurate balls and dismissed one dangerous opener in his first over, and the second in his next over. He finished an excellent spell with 3 wickets for 3 runs off 3 overs. These dismissals had only served to bring the SMRH captain to the crease and he batted very well for a long time to retire on 31 whilst wickets fell around him ... but this was not enough to ease the anxiety of the coaches and the watching parents who could see the score creeping ever closer to our own. With SMRH on 71 and after 16 overs it looked tight.
But cometh the hour, cometh the Everett! An excellent spell from Calum yielding 3 wickets for a miserly 3 runs pegged the opposition back and with the retiral of the only batsman to score big runs we could all breath. Maxwell further eased the pressure coming back for a maiden over. With only 6 taken off the last over by George, Carlton claimed victory by 16 runs....a little closer than we might have liked...
Thanks to SMRH for an exciting game played in good spirit.
80 for 5
Calum Everett 2 for 7
79 for 5
Calum Everett 30 ret
At a sunny, but still not exactly warm, Raeburn Place Grange Gladiators won the toss and inserted Carlton Cobras in to bat.
Tom and Calum started slowly but with assurance against a good Grange attack. The bowling was accurate and on a good length, and the fielding tight. Runs were slow to come by, but the openers applied themselves to getting in and accumulating. It quickly became apparent that anything bowled up on a good length would be difficult to get away. The few balls that were short were hungrily put away, but there were few of these so scoring was slow. After 10 overs Carlton were on 39 without loss and struggling to accelerate particularly against the left arm spin of the Grange captain.
Tom fell for 11 in the 12th over, followed by Kamran next ball whose rush of blood to the head resulted in a skied top edge. Ruairidh survived the hat-trick ball and he and Calum set about rebuilding. Having done the hard work of getting in, Ruairidh then holed out trying to up the run rate by attempting to loft a drive over mid off. Calum continued to add runs but soon retired on 30 leaving two new batsmen at the crease just when we needed to accelerate. George fell for 1, leaving Kit and Archie to play out the last few overs which they did well, having decided to go for it, which they did well adding 8 and 4 respectively. 79 for 5 was probably 15 to 20 short of what was required.
The Grange innings got of to the best possible start for Carlton with Calum trapping the number 1 LBW first ball. Some confused calling by numbers 2 and 3 led to a sharp runout leaving Grange on 2 for 3 runs after 2 overs. Another LBW for Calum in the 3rd left Grange reeling on 3 for 4.
However, numbers 4 and 5 rebuilt well as Carlton struggled to find the right length dropping too many balls short.The partnership was not broken until the 14th over when Maxwell bowled the Grange keeper and number 4 for 27. A wicket maiden for George had Grange on 64 for 5, but with 5 overs still to go and only 16 runs required Grange could afford to run up the singles and punish the short delivery. The target of 80 was attained in the course of the 17th over and Grange won by 5 wickets.
Despite losing it was excellent to have a truly competitive game of cricket played to a high standard that stretched the boys' skills with the bat, with the ball and in the field. There was a lot to learn for everyone individually and for the team as a whole. Grange were also glad of a tough match that they played in a good spirit, showing magnanimity in victory . Thanks to Mo for filling in for the otherwise engaged Herdy, to David Simpson for scoring and to youngsters Pete and Harry for stepping up to the team at the last minute.
115 for 5
Kit Buchan 30 ret, Ruairidh Main 17
Andrew O'Brien 2 for 2
It was with mild surprise and some delight that we all blinked into the unaccustomed sunshine, warmth and general dryness at Grange Loan on Monday evening. After the weekend's deluge the prospects of any cricket at all looked unlikely, but thanks to the excellence of the ground and the groundsman the Grange Loan was playable using the artificial strip. So it was that Carlton Cobras won the toss and elected to bat first.
Kit and Tom opened for the Cobras. Tom was unfortunate to hole out early on pulling a short ball upishly to square leg where he was well caught. Callum W then came in and put together a good partnership with Kit of 51 before he was bowled for 15 playing across the line whilst trying to accelerate the scoring rate. This brought in Tristram who was clearly bent on upping the run rate by putting pressure on the Accies' fielders with some very sharp running between the wickets. The retiral of Kit for a well made 30 in which he was not really troubled at all brought Ruairidh in. It took the two dimiutive batsmen a little time to get on the same wavelength with their calling and there was a fair bit of 'yes', 'no', 'maybe' before Tristram was finally run out for a positive 9 along with some well run (and some narrowly run!)
byes. Ruairidh batted through the remainder of the innings for 17*, with Kamran (5) and Callum (7) adding runs off the bat and some more sharply run byes. A total of 115 looked good and the boys took to fielding in positive mood.
In truth, the Accies batsmen never got settled. A combination of inexperience on their part and trademark sharp fielding by the Cobras saw regular inroads being made into their line-up. Highlights were a sharp run out with a direct hit by Callum W from fine leg; George getting some steepling bounce out of the artificial pitch; and Andrew's 2 for 2! George, Ruairidh and Kamran each took a wicket, all bowled. (One wicket, caught, is uncredited on the card...if anyone has a genuine claim it, just let the manager know.) Accies finished on 34 all out in the 18th over. A comfortable victory to Carlton Cobras by 81 runs.
Thanks to Simon Holden for scoring.
40 all out
George Clough 3 for 6, Gregor McIntyre 3 for 11
99 for 5
Kit Buchan 27
A beautiful summers' evening at last. And the heating was on at Goldenacre...the first time your correspondent can remember being warm at this venue in four or five years of attending youth games here! Carlton won the toss and elected to bat. The going was tough for openers Callum W and Ruairidh who struggled to get the ball away on a soft wicket. The opening bowlers found some swing and tested the batsmens' patience with some accurate, well pitched balls making it difficult to score. However, the they dug in and batted slowly but sensibly to build a platform for the team.
With 9 overs gone and 29 on the board, Ruairidh (8) trying to accelerate was unlucky to play on to a ball that hung in the air a little too long. Captain Kamran came in and immediately struck out positively, scoring a quick 17 before being out LBW playing across the line of a double bouncer. Callum W (13) and Archie followed soon. 51 for 1 became 56 for 4. The two new batsmen, Kit and Tristram, did not panic but continued to play positively with good running and some fine shots, particularly from Kit. They batted out the remaining overs taking the score to 99 with Tristram being run out on the last ball. 99 for 5 looked a reasonable total in the conditions and so it proved.
A great spell by the two openers, George and Gregor M, left Heriots reeling on 6 for 16 after 6 overs. Both claimed 3 scalps, Gregor taking two in successive balls. Robert and James then continued the attack and bowled with great confidence for two boys making their u13 debuts. Robert bowled economically to finish with 0 for 5 off his two overs; James with 1 for 7 off his. The remaining three wickets were taken by Andrew, Archie and Kamran, the last off Kamran's bowling was a great catch by Archie, much to his dad's delight! 40 all out in the 15th over and a Cobra's win by 59 runs.
Special mention to Kit who continued to impress the coaches as he donned the gloves to keep wicket in Tom's absence which he did like he'd done it many times before. Overall, a great team effort. The Cobras boys are really beginning to develop their cricket in all ways and look like a good squad with considerable depth.
Thanks to Charlie and the Heriots' boys for a good game played in a great spirit, and to Steve O'Brien for volunteering to score.

Global Stocks Make Gains Monday
TOKYO (AP) -- Global markets were mostly higher Monday, cheered by a positive report on the Japanese economy, as players awaited talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart later in the week.
KEEPING SCORE: France's CAC 40 slipped 0.2 percent to 5,114.83 in early trading, while Germany's DAX gained 0.2 percent to 12,339.78. Britain's FTSE 100 edged 0.1 percent lower to 7,316.39. U.S. shares were set to drift higher with Dow futures up 0.1 percent at 20,624. S&P 500 futures were also up nearly 0.1 percent at 2,360.80.
ASIA'S DAY: Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 added 0.4 percent to finish at 18,983.23, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 inched up 0.1 percent to 5,872.70. India's Sensex jumped 0.9 percent to 29,882.27 and South Korea's Kospi rose 0.3 percent to 2,167.51. Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.5 percent to 24,236.10. Shanghai's bourse was closed for a holiday.
U.S.-CHINA: Markets are closely watching for the outcome of the summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in south Florida later this week. The two are expected to discuss various contentious issues including North Korea, trade and territorial disputes in the South China Sea during their talks on Thursday and Friday.
ANALYST'S TAKE: "The start of the week marks the first trading day of the month and quarter, also kicking start an action-packed week with various items to keep watch on. U.S. non-farm payrolls, the meeting between the leaders of the U.S. and China, and the U.S. central bank March meeting minutes are some of the few items lined up ahead," said Jingyi Pan, market strategist at IG.
UPBEAT JAPAN: Japanese manufacturers are feeling slightly more upbeat than they were late last year, according to a quarterly survey by the Bank of Japan. The survey's findings fell slightly below economists' forecasts, but were seen as a sign exports are underpinning growth in the world's No. 3 economy.

Despite the precautions you and your co-workers take, you were injured on the job. Your injuries required medical attention and time off work to recuperate. You may already know that workers' compensation law allows you to make a claim for compensation for a work-related injury or illness, but you can be confused and worried if your employer is saying you cannot get workers' compensation or that you will be fired or demoted if you file a claim. You and other Wisconsin residents should understand your rights when it comes to seeking workers' compensation, as well as workers' compensation retaliation.
According to FindLaw, workers' compensation retaliation occurs if an employer makes false statements about your right to seek compensation or takes adverse actions against you if you file a claim. Employers pay workers' compensation insurance premiums, which can go up if an employee is injured and files a claim. As such, your employer may rightfully encourage safety in the workplace. However, your rights are violated if your employer gives you misinformation or retaliates against you in the following ways:
- Telling you that you must use your own insurance or pay for your medical expenses out of your own pocket
- Threatening to terminate or reassign you to an undesirable position if you file a claim
- Informing you that you will face legal action if you seek workers' compensation
- Taking any measures to prevent you from rightfully seeking compensation or from getting information on how to file a claim
Workers' compensation retaliation is unlawful. You may need experienced counsel to uphold your rights or to assist you in filing or appealing a claim. This information is not meant to replace the advice of a lawyer.

When Dandelyan at London's Mondrian hotel won World's Best Bar at this year's World's 50 Best Bars awards, it didn't come as much of a surprise – its creator, bartender Ryan Chetiyawardana, has a habit of winning awards. The big shock was that, just days before, he had announced he was closing it down. "The landscape and conversation have shifted since we opened four years ago," he said on Instagram. "It makes sense to burn it down and start afresh."
Dandelyan is likely to close in February, with a new incarnation to follow – still under wraps, but certain to be one of 2019's most hotly anticipated openings. In the meantime, Chetiyawardana (aka "Mr Lyan") is launching his Time Capsule cocktail service: a one-to-one session where clients get to plunder his private collection of more than 600 rare, old and unique spirits and wines and create a one-off bespoke bottled cocktail.
I have my Time Capsule consultation at Cub, another of Cheti's award-winning venues, in Hoxton. Sitting on mustard banquettes, we begin with a quick overview of my likes and dislikes. Next, he maps my palate by giving me small strips of paper to place on my tongue, revealing my sensitivity to sweet, sour and bitter tastes.
Then we move over to the neighbouring table, where he has lined up an army of intriguing bottles for me to try. There's a 1955 Glen Grant scotch, spicy vintage vermouth, oak-smoked water from Welsh artisans Halen Môn, a jalapeño distillate from the avant-garde Danish distillery Empirical and an astonishing amontillado from 1920. I taste a 1940s cognac – opened specially for the occasion – and a rare Bowmore that explodes with sweet, fruity smoke. There is even a sample of ambergris, an ingredient more commonly used in perfumery.
As we taste, memories start pouring out: the smell of pretzel stalls and Twizzlers from my childhood in New York; the juniper smoke that filled my grandmother's Lakeland house; a memorable meal in Tokyo; a musical tour of Mexico with my husband. Cheti asks me to envisage how I might share the final drink – will it be with one other person or a group? Joyously at 6pm or at the end of the evening, in a more reflective mood? I realise that we are building up a picture not just of the drink but of myself.
The Time Capsule cocktails are explicitly designed for laying down: he once did a recipe for a friend's newborn to open on their 18th birthday. The point is that they, like you, evolve.
A fortnight after our session, my Time Capsule arrives in an antique, wax-sealed bottle, bearing a Japanese washi-paper label illustrated and annotated by Cheti himself. What he's created is a haunting twist on one of my favourite drinks – the Sazerac – made with 45-year-old single-cask cognac, 1940s Scotch, a homemade absinthe from "Mama Cheti's garden" and touches of douglas fir, fino sherry and ambergris.
Prices start at £10,000 – which might sound a lot for a single bottle of booze. But I have a hunch that the memories it stirs up will go on resonating, long after the liquid is gone.

Story posted on
Frome's Annual Town meeting on 3rd April was a night of festivities.
The town council report, "It all kicked off in celebratory style with live music from the Frukes featuring Mayor, Rich Ackroyd, on his ukulele. The Frukes were followed by a short and sweet workout from the well-know and much-loved Cheryl from Mojo Moves, one of the successful projects funded by the People's Budget 2018.
"Rich then welcomed everyone to the meeting which began with just a few questions from the community, two about Mendip District Council-owned Cork Street bus stop and one about the old allotment gardens tucked away behind Broadway. Frome Town Council explained that Mendip District councillor Des Harris is working with Mendip to install a bus shelter and an up-to-date timetable. Kate Hellard, community development manager, had met with residents about the allotments, who have unanimously decided they want to keep it as a green space and have been meeting with various district and county councillors.
"Next, Rich gave a whistle stop tour of his year as Mayor, including his highlights which were standing on the George balcony with record-breaker and local fundraiser Sergeant Rachel Clark and watching the lantern procession for Light the Night and, most importantly, having the opportunity to feel really connected to the community. And his top tip for future Mayors – you'll be photographed a lot, so make sure not to wear the same outfit too often!
"Leader of the Council, cllr Kate Bielby shared her reflections on a busy year for the town council in a difficult climate, with local government funding cuts and many huge global and national issues. Frome Town Council's response has been to continue to be ambitious for Frome: acquiring, improving and managing green open spaces, continuing to invest in the town and taking action by declaring a climate emergency and setting a target to become carbon neutral by 2030.
"Helping others to succeed has also been key, achieved by grant aiding just under £154,000 to local organisations through the community grant scheme, the Mayor's small grants and through the People's Budget, offering training, one-to-one support and fundraising advice. FTC continues to work hard to engage the community on key issues such as car parking, litter and crime, consultations to hear what people want to see in their town, as well as events to bring everyone together. Frome has also been an inspiration to others, such as Manchester City Council with the School Active Travel Challenge and the community fridge encouraging another 50 fridges to get started around the country.
"It was then time for the Mayor's Civic Awards, given to local people who have made a positive difference in the community. Rich chose five fantastic individuals who he felt have provided inspiration to Frome in many different ways. Eleven-year-old Isla Stockdale Coates (who received her award earlier in the day at school), Ron Stone, Karen Stewart, Marjorie Morris and Bob Morris, were all honoured with awards.
"The meeting ended with refreshments and a chance to see videos from Frome Fireworks, Frome Window Wanderland and Frome Light the Night, all winners of the People's Budget 2018 which showed the real impact each project had on the community.
"The details of everything mentioned above can be found at www.frometowncouncil.gov.uk and the next meeting is Town Matters on 24th April. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep updated on everything we're up to."

Title: The efficacy of a Chinese herbal formula GQD on type 2 diabetes and its mechanism
Linhua Zhao has completed her PhD from China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in the year 2011. She is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Endocrinology department, and a Researcher focusing on the efficacy and mechanism of TCM on diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. She is the Secretary of dose-response relationship study of Chinese Medicine Preparatory Committee of World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies and permanent member of Chinese Medicine research. She has published 45 papers and has attended many national projects in China about diabetes and TCM.
As one of the most common chronic non-communicable diseases, diabetes is a serious hazard to human health. The morbidity of diabetes rose rapidly in recent years, yet the control of it is not satisfying. The gut microbiota may play a vital role in obesity and diabetes development. Berberine, the major pharmacological component of a Chinese herb Coptis chinensis (Huang-Lian) originally used to treat bacterial diarrhea, showed clinical efficacy in treating diabetes in a multi-centered, randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled clinical trial. Gegen Qinlian Decoction (GQD), a standardized berberine-containing Chinese herbal formula, has been a treatment for diarrhea since the east Han Dynasty in China. Subsequently, GQD has been found to have potentially beneficial effects in the treatment of diabetes in clinical observations and animal experiments. Based on this, we united several research institutions to explore the effect on the early stage diabetic patients through multi-centered, randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial and gut microbiota research. The results showed that GQD treatment provided clinically meaningful and dose-dependent reductions in FBG and HbA1c compared with placebo. Structural alterations of gut microbiota induced by GQD are associated with the anti-diabetic effects of GQD. At the same time, a practical application of the network-based approach is illustrated in GQD, and the anti-diabetic activity of the herbal ingredients from GQD has been identified. These data shows that the Chinese herbal formula is effective for glycemic control, making it a promising candidate for diabetes management. Further deep study should be carried out to explore its action mechanism and to find some new biological targets and markers.

Dr. Meagan R. Kendall is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Education and Leadership. She received her M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, with a concentration in Biomechanics, from The University of Texas at Austin.
For over a decade, Dr. Kendall's research has focused on the design and validation of appropriate prosthetic components for developing communities. In this research, she is developing co-design methodologies that actively build empathy with and include the end-user as a participant in designing their own products - designing with, rather than for, the user of a product or service. To further this research, Dr. Kendall has recently embarked on a project to determine where Positive Deviance Inquiry and Human Centered Design can join to further improve the design of Assistive Technology, such as prosthetic devices.
Dr. Kendall's research also branches into the area of engineering education. As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Education and Leadership, she has developed innovative curriculum to help kick off the first B.S. in Engineering Leadership in the nation. Her teaching and research focuses on enhancing student motivation, developing integrated course sequences, and methods for involving students in curriculum development and teaching.

Have you heard about this stuff – the popular 'Cam' by Netflix? Read about this to say voyeur video. So charming Alice (played by Madeline Brewer) is a successful female and has definite career prospects:
- the girl works as a webcam model;
- the audience loves her;
- and she is about to get into the top 50 website workers.
She has established boundaries:
- refusal to imitate orgasms and no public speaking);
- mom knows nothing about the source of income;
- the nickname Lola makes it possible to separate virtual and real life.
The popularity of Lola comes not only due to the banal nudity: the main character does not stop to mix Thanatos and Eros, imitating suicide online. Crazy? But the model does not hide the fakeness of her actions, this is like an evil game. However, at some point, the electronic-erotic idyll breaks off: the account was hacked, it is almost impossible to prove your identity, but the main thing is that someone, like two drops of water similar to Alice, continues her work.
Here what critics say about this 'voyeur video':
- It makes lifeundercam as the main shooting object. It seems to be an ideal construct that fits the theme of duality. The "webcam" can be described as "Dostoevsky meets the "Black Mirror ", although, like all similar formulas, this will be a deliberate simplification on the verge of neglect. Alice is taken away not by a person, but by a creative project – the image of supergirl, obviously, created as a tool not only for earnings but also for self-expression.
- A movie can be viewed through the prism of feminism or a more general social perspective, although it would be equally interesting to see it as an attempt to conceive a new type of subject – a digital image, cut off from the real person and living its own life. The interrelation of this image and its creator becomes a subject for the analysis of human physicality and vulnerability
- The beauty of "Cam" is that it presents the viewers not with a pretentious screen-life format (although its elements are present here), but a real "live" screen. In the modest ambitions of the creators is the power of the film: instead of manifesting and developing a new cinema language, we see a more or less standardly written and filmed story, at the core of which there is a paradoxical assumption that a certain network is able to live its own life.
Don't wait for any final explanation, which, whatever one may say, would be commonplace – fortunately, the film is full of inconsistencies. Just think about what is most important for you in this context.

Billy Joel announces 66th MSG show; 2019 stadium tour dates
Joel continues his monthly residency with stadium dates
Billy Joel will perform his unprecedented 66th consecutive show at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, July 11th. The show is part of Joel's residency at The World's Most Famous Arena which began in January 2014 with him playing one show per month at The Garden. The July 2019 show will be Joel's 112th all-time performance at The Garden.
Tickets are on sale via ticketmaster.com. Prices range from $65.50 to $149.50. The concerts, part of the Montefiore Concert Series, are being promoted by The Madison Square Garden Company in association with AEG Presents and Q104.3 as a media partner.
In December 2013, Billy Joel became Madison Square Garden's first-ever music franchise, joining the ranks of the storied venue's other original franchises –the New York Knicks, Rangers and Liberty. Joel is one of the biggest concert draws in the world and continues this achievement with an impressive run of sold-out consecutive stadium shows and concert arenas. Having sold 150 million records over the past quarter century, scoring 33 consecutive Top 40 hits, Billy Joel ranks as one of the most popular recording artists and respected entertainers in history. The singer/songwriter/composer is the sixth best-selling recording artist of all time and the third best-selling solo artist. In 2016, the Library of Congress selected "Piano Man" for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its "cultural, historic, and artistic significance."
Joel has also announced a string of baseball stadium dates for this year. The Boston Red Sox and Live Nation New England will honor the Piano Man with the first-ever music franchise at Fenway Park as he returns on Saturday, September 14th for the sixth consecutive year. Joel will be the first artist to be inducted into a Music Hall of Fame display being created this offseason depicting the artists who have had multiple successful shows at the ballpark.
The Philadelphia Phillies will also honor Joel with the same accolade for holding the record for the most live performances by any artist in the venue's 15-year history. Joel returns to Citizens Bank Park on Friday, May 24th for the sixth consecutive year. As part of the residency, the Phillies will have a special kiosk set up to offer Billy Joel tour merchandise for sale during the month of May. In celebration of this announcement, the Phillies are offering a key to Citizens Bank Park to Billy Joel to mark this occasion.
Joel will visit many stadiums for the first time ever on this trek. First time stops include Chase Field in Arizona on Saturday, March 9th, Miller Park in Milwaukee on Friday, April 26th, a sold out performance at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore on July 26th, Coors Field in Denver on Thursday, August 8th and Globe Life Park's final show in Arlington, TX on Saturday, October 12th before the new Globe Life Field opens in 2020. Tickets to all stadium shows are on sale now via Ticketmaster.

English summer time
and oh how the marble sky
hangs heavy tonight
English summer time
and oh how the marble sky
hangs heavy tonight
Hmm…I'm not sure what to write today. I feel as if I haven't written anything 'proper' on here for ages, so guess I should try and come up with something.
I could talk about the weather. It's unusually hot here in England at the mo'. In fact, it was reported that yesterday was the hottest July day ever recorded, and yes, it was a scorcher. You'd think the end had come the way it's all over the news and media. Personally, I like a bit of hot weather, and know it will be short lived and we'll suffer for it with full on thunder storms and rain for at least a week afterwards, so not getting over-excited. Nuff said.
I'm stuck at home at the moment, 'cos my husband's car is in 'hospital' having broken down on his way to work on Monday, and he's had to pinch my car this week. In some ways it's been good. For instance, I haven't been able to get to the gym (hooray, at last an excuse!!), I've been able to spend time watering the thirsty garden (ooh…it's thirsty Thursday.. perhaps I should have written about my trials and tribulations with the hose….) and enjoy the sun, and best of all, I've been able to spend more hours than I should watching the tennis from Wimbledon on my TV.
As you know, I'm not what you might call sporty, but I do love Wimbledon fortnight.
When I was young I always thought it was very staid and a bit, well, anal – stuck in the mud, old-fashioned even. Not to mention it's stupid scoring (I know, that's just tennis, but I wanted to make a nod to my heading…see I thought about it!) But then I watched the likes of Nastase and McEnroe ruffle Wimbledon's grass, and shake it all up a bit. Lots of people may say that they ruined the game with their outbursts, and I would agree the outbursts were rude and unsportsmanlike, but oh, it was great to see sportsmen with such emotional commitment, and humanity. It raised the crowd to a jeering mass, instead of the usual polite clapometers. It injected life into the prim and dusty arena.
Now, the partisan crowd can be embarrassing – OMG… do you remember all the sad old years and pitiful cries of 'Come on Tim', but at least they're fully engaged. And on the whole they will cheer on the underdog from whatever corner of the globe they come from. They recognise the good, and encourage the erm, less good.
Personally, I really enjoyed watching Hewitts 'Fanatics' and they're choreographed chanting the other day. Amazingly they managed to get the majority of the rest of the spectators chanting along with them as if the whole court was filled with Aussies! Sadly, despite that noisy backing, Hewitt was knocked out and we won't be seeing him at Wimbledon ever again.
Of course, the first week is full of one-sided mismatches, and you have to feel sorry for some of the players, like poor old Thomaz Bellucci from Brazil, who has come up against top ten players in the first round for the last three years (he was knocked out by Nadal on Tuesday). But nonetheless I'll watch as many matches as I can spare the time for (but goodness me, don't they go on forever sometimes – one match = another three hours of my life gone!).
Even the women's matches are more exciting these days. I remember when the commentary on women's matches consisted mainly of which designer they were wearing ('Miss Jean-King is wearing a dress and matching frilly knickers by Ted Tingling'). But these days, the clothes barely get a mention whichever beautiful, strong, fierce player is on court.
I have to be honest here too… I do enjoy some of it's uptightness. I like the all whites rule, it is very peculiar to me to watch other tournaments where that doesn't apply, they all look a bit scruffy! I like seeing the sharp eyed linespeople squeezed into those horrible prissy outfits, and the sweet ball folk scuttling around or standing statue still in military order even while holding an umbrella over a sweaty player's head for five minutes. Bless! And the strawberries and pimms, that, well obvs, I have to join in with at home.
So I'm looking forward to next week, when it will really get gladiatorial, with the big guns battling it out. I'll be glued.
But wait…oh no… I'll have my car back. Eeek…I'm going to have to start living real life again. Shopping, gyming, IT grouping, housework (noooooo, I know I do not need a car to do housework, but it just puts me out of sorts. OK?).
Oh well, I suppose Wimbledon will be rained off by then 😉
…..fly a kite!
Taken on the vast, sandy, and empty beach in front of Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland. The castle, filled with treasures, has a long and interesting history which you can find out about here. Windy, chilly and overcast – typical English summer weather!!
Posted in response to the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge – this week's theme 'On the way'
It was my birthday at the weekend and as a special treat my husband took me to the seaside (look, what can I say, I may be getting on a bit, but inside I'm still five years old!). Where we live it's always a bit of a trek to get to the beach. The journey takes a good couple of hours mostly across the windy, up and downy, country roads that transverse the spectacular North Yorkshire Moors, so we don't do it very often. In fact we'd never been to Robin Hood's Bay before, but as you can see from the pictures it is really rather pretty (and quintessentially English), and we had a perfect day there eating ice creams, paddling in the icy sea, eating fish and chips,walking along the cliff, eating cake, lying about a bit more…..you can tell there was a bit of a theme going on!
Anyhoo… back to 'on the way'. You can't really drive down to the beach, as the roads are so narrow, so I took this snap of our first glimpse of the sea as we walked down the very steep hill (it seemed even steeper on the way up, especially after all that food!!).
Although they don't really fit the remit, I thought you might like to see a couple of other photos we took while we were messing about at the seaside! I'm afraid I didn't have my 'proper' camera with me, so the quality is slightly iffyer than usual!
The last day of my five day challenge – gosh that's gone quickly! I must thank Scillagrace for inviting me to take part, it's been fun!
For today I've written a couple of verses inspired by the photo of the famous Bodleian Library which I took a few years ago when we visited Oxford, England. I had never visited Oxford before, but my husband studied there so knew it well, and he was able to show me all the sights, as well as taking me punting on the river!
In the labyrinth of my mind
My memory library dwells
That vaulted endless space
Where secrets quietly die
and story-spun webs

How to create traceability links quickly with YAKINDU Traceability's bulk link creation editor
A prominent task of YAKINDU Traceability for sure is to create traceability links. It already provides different means to do so. However, based on our users' feedback, we got the impression that the existing means are not sufficient and do not fulfill all users' needs. Thus, we started to develop a new concept to create links more quickly and easier than before, and we did so in strong cooperation with our users. This post will present the result – the new bulk link creation editor – as well as the way we got there.
How Visualizing Traceability Data Removes the Worries of Project Management – Part 2
A previous post outlined an example project and a set of key metrics (KPIs) that I want to be able to calculate based on information gathered from multiple different development tools. In this follow up post, I will illustrate how to calculate one of those metrics using traceability information and an example query over the trace graph.
How Visualizing Traceability Data Removes the Worries of Project Management – Part 1
A manager of a single project, working closely with a small team on a daily basis, can fairly easily know the status of the project. However, a manager of several projects, maybe a department manager, manager of a large branch of a company, or even the manager of ...

Egypt moves to cement ties with Eritrea, enhance presence in Horn of Africa
CAIRO - Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry's recent trip to Eritrea marked another attempt by Cairo to get closer to a vital Horn of Africa country, part of a diplomatic rapprochement that Egypt has been pursuing with several African countries.
Egypt hopes to restore relations with Eritrea to where they were before the 2011 uprising in Egypt and the resulting chaos in which Egypt's foreign relations, particularly in Africa, were often neglected.
"We have made a lot of effort in the past few years to bring relations with all Horn of Africa states back on track," Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid said. "We are so keen on the stability of and security in the southern Red Sea region."
Shoukry met with Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki on September 13 and then went to Addis Ababa, another Horn of Africa capital with which Cairo strives to cement relations.
Abu Zeid described the region as an "inseparable part" of Egyptian national security.
"Egypt aims to have strong presence in the southern part of the Red Sea," Abu Zeid said. "There is an urgent need for us to also have strong relations with countries in this region."
Egypt's efforts to return to the region are part of wider attempts by some Arab countries to secure a position of influence in the region, analysts said, particularly given competition from Iran, Qatar and Turkey.
The main fear focuses on security to the southern entrance of the Red Sea and the Bab el Mandeb Strait, vital to shipping via Egypt's Suez Canal
In recent years, Turkey has gained influence in Sudan while Iran and Qatar targeted Eritrea and Djibouti as countries where they could gain a presence in Africa.
Iran signed a military cooperation pact with Asmara in 2008, taking advantage of the state of isolation Eritrea suffered because of its disputes with Ethiopia. The agreement gave Iran a military presence in the area and analysts said that proved vital to Iranian support for the Houthi militia in Yemen, just across the Red Sea.
The Houthis have threatened navigation in the southern entrance of the Red Sea and the Bab el Mandeb Strait. This has proven a major issue, not just for Egypt, which wants to ensure secure shipping lanes through the Suez Canal, but to petroleum-producing countries in the Arabian Gulf that rely on the routes.
Qatar has an increasing presence in the region, including mediating border disputes between Djibouti and Eritrea. The United Arab Emirates, which has deep economic and political interests in the Horn of Africa, especially in Djibouti and Somalia, has viewed Doha's increasing presence in Africa with unease.
"This made it necessary for moderate Arab states to start acting," said Egyptian MP Hatem Bashat, a member of parliament's African Affairs Committee. "We cannot stand idly by and watch enemy states gaining presence in a region whose importance to our national security is immeasurable."
This might explain why Cairo, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi are becoming a new source of support for Horn of Africa leaders. On September 16, Saudi Arabia hosted the leaders of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti for a meeting during which a reconciliation deal between Ethiopia and Eritrea was signed. Talks also considered ending tensions between Eritrea and Djibouti.
Saudi Arabia had been instrumental in reducing tensions between Eritrea and Djibouti, even as Somalia and Ethiopia appeared to play a major role in this regard.
The United Arab Emirates also had a significant part in helping Ethiopia and Eritrea end years of fighting that left tens of thousands of people on both sides dead.
"Egyptian and Arab presence in this region means an end to Iranian and Qatari presence in it," said Tarek Fahmi, a professor of political science at Cairo University. "The absence of moderate Arab states from the region in the past years has had very negative consequences for Arab security."

In recent weeks, there have been some interesting furniture fairs in other European countries – a reason for us to research what styles and living trends could establish themselves in 2019. What was new and what are the trends in the EU member states? Are there similarities to the discoveries on the German market and what are the differences?
We took a closer look at several international interior fairs.
Those who wanted to enter this incredible marathon had to keep up, as the Habitare, Habitat, Maison & Objet and London Design Week were held in just a few weeks time. From September 7 to 22, 2018 it was possible to find out about the new design highlights and living trends 2019 in four different countries – which made it particularly interesting to compare.
The Maison & Objet in Paris was the first furnishing fair in this short time frame.
It is also one of those fairs for household goods and accessories. Every half year, this trade fair presents itself with numerous exhibitors and an even larger selection of products. It took place from Friday, September 7 to Tuesday, September 11, 2018. On 115,000 m², 3,000 exhibitors were present and showed their innovations to the 90,000 visitors.
The Maison & Objet deals with the topics around the interior in a special way. There's not only a dedicated hall for everything around the living trends 2019 "Maison" (which here again is subdivided), but also halls under the motto "Objet". Here you will find interested visitors looking for home fragrances, clever solutions for children & family, home textiles, trendy fashion accessories and much more. In halls 5a and 6 to 8 the typical interior themes were shown: furniture, beds, carpets, wall coverings, lighting, interior accessories, mirrors and much more.
Particularly popular were concepts with Art Déco flair. Opulent sofas, artfully designed small furniture and accessories enthralled the visitors. The special shows and areas presented a big variety of styles – from classic to modern.
After the Maison & Objet, the Habitare fair took place. It is a furniture, interior design and design fair for professionals and visitors in Helsinki.
Around 600 international exhibitors presented the latest trends, shapes and colors here. On 16,000 m², 59,200 visitors were able to obtain insightful information. It took place from Wednesday, September 12 to Sunday, September 16, 2018. The great thing about Helsinki is that a lot of Nordic companies are present here and their focus, like this year's topic "Roots", is also on functionality. For residents of such a barren area, the focus of every piece of furniture lies on the principle of functionality.
And so this fair stands out clearly from the fairs in France or Great Britain, where the topics often manifest themselves more in the aesthetic and artistic area. In Finland, it was the clean and simple designs that set it apart from the retro-scandi designs of recent years. For a trade fair so far north on the globe, it goes without saying that the furniture and products are also typically Scandinavian. It was particularly noticeable that the basic furniture constructions of Scandinavian manufacturers are becoming clearer and more practical again – one of the living trends 2019.
Furniture feet, for example, deviate from the previous retro character and are designed round and fixed vertically to the furniture. This gives most furniture pieces a touch of Asian flair. This is further supported by the typical bright Nordic woods such as spruce, pine and birch. In the home textiles and wallpapers, however, the patterns are larger and playful. The fabrics are soft in look and feel. Tassels and fellopics are still very popular. But also velvet and velor are in the mix now, though more restrained with home textiles. However in terms of sofas and armchairs, it is precisely these materials that are increasingly used – similar to the impressions one also had from Paris.
From September 14 to 22, design-savvy people met to celebrate the London Design Festival.
As part of the London Design Week the novelties of the furniture and design industry were presented again, especially of course from British manufacturers. But also exhibitors from over 36 other countries were on site. In London, there seems to be more emphasis on the artistic aspect of design. The object itself is staged, installed and propagated.
As a result, many art hotspots have established themselves in London: during the fair, inspiring designs from a wide range of designers and design companies were on view in various design districts, landmark projects, the V&A museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and design routes. The trade shows – the actual trade fair – provided many areas for exhibitors under the themes 100% Design, Decorex, designjunction, Focus/18 and London Design Fair. Every year, more than 28,000 dealers, manufacturers, architects, designers and interior designers, design-savvy people and members of the press visit this event.
The focus will then be on the latest furniture creations, lighting, textiles and accessories. Especially products for the interior styles Art Deco, Nordic influences and furniture from classic English styles such as the cottage, or shaker style were there to admire. For art lovers and (interior) architects, London is especially worth seeing.
At the end of September the Feria Habitat took place in Valencia. It is an international trade fair for furniture, lighting, home textiles and kitchen design.
Companies from the industry are offered a platform to present their products to an interested trade audience. All in all from September 18th to September 21st, the organizers welcomed 26,000 visitors and about 400 exhibitors on more than 25,000 m² in the four days of the fair. Typical for such a fair in Southern Europe: good-humored fair visitors, who enjoyed the summer sun outdoors and the well-stocked, impressive (and air-conditioned) exhibition halls. The main exhibition sectors of the Feria Habitat Valencia are: furniture, lighting, home textiles, decoration, as well as kitchens and accessories.
The living trends 2019 in the furniture segment focused on very modern furniture with a clear design language and on the other hand on opulent Art Déco pieces in sophisticated quality. These two great styles were also present in lighting: classic nostalgic or clear and modern. The modern couches & armchairs were characterized by pastel colors and valuable wood-metal combinations (often chrome) in furniture and tables.
The luxurious Art Déco furniture, on the other hand, was rather rich in colors, velvets and velours that defined the space. Accessories in brass and gold completed the picture. The connecting element was tables with noble marble surfaces. Again, we saw parallels with France and London.
Let's come to our resumé of the living trends 2019 after these fairs.
In France, furniture and accessories from the ethno and Art Déco segment were very popular. If one considers that the proportions of old buildings in France is very high and Art Déco fits very well into it and if one knows that France is a country of migration, which for decades has been exposed to a large proportion of foreign influences, then the presence of these trend styles is understandable. We particularly liked the many design ideas manufacturers had for these styles: heavy brocade and jacquard fabrics for cushions on velvet and velor couches, hip totem masks and woven rugs to gold-rimmed noble mirrors – a successful composition throughout.
In London, it was the mix of art and design, especially in the modern segment, that thrilled the visitors. Helsinki showed how important it is to use its own resources in the country and surprised with its clear geometric designs, as described above. The Habitat in Valencia balances confidently between very modern concepts and opulent, nostalgic and luxurious interiors.
We'll see how these living trends 2019 will influence the industry. It's up to you now to choose the trade fair from which you and your customers could best benefit. In the next article we'll look at how the trade fairs with their special areas and topics stood out from each other and which might be worth a closer look.
