Bharti Airtel on Friday announced the launch of its operations in Rwanda, raising its operations in Africa to 17.
Airtel was awarded the license by the Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency (RURA) last year to operate 2G and 3G GSM mobile services, the statement said, adding that the launch was part of the company's $100 million, three-year investment plan for Rwanda.
Group CEO (International) and Joint MD, Manoj Kohli said in a statement "we are delighted to launch our operations and bring Airtel to the people of Rwanda - we believe that Rwanda is an extremely promising market and this launch further strengthens our footprint in eastern Africa."
The Sunil Bharti Mittal-led Bharti Airtel acquired the African business of Kuwait-based Zain in 2010 for USD 10.7 billion.
Airtel has since partnered with IBM to deploy and manage its information technology (IT) infrastructure and applications across Africa, in just-came-on-board Rwanda.
The statement quoted IBM Vice President and Senior Project Executive for Airtel Africa, Steve Martin as saying "as part of our strategic services agreement, we are happy to assist Airtel with its entry into the Rwandan market. Rwanda is an important market for IBM and we are actively strengthening our local presence."
Telecom equipment maker Ericsson has been selected to manage the network from end-to-end solutions for Airtel Africa.
Ericsson's Sub-Saharan African Region Head Lars Lind'n was quoted as saying "this solution is using the latest Ericsson portfolio, and will be the first Airtel network designed as an all-IP solution."
Rwandan Prime Minister Damien Habumuremyi was also quoted as saying “the government welcomes Airtel into our country – w e are looking to partner with the private sector to provide good quality, accessible and affordable telecommunications services."
Rwanda is among the fastest growing telecom markets in Africa and according to the National Statistics Institute of Rwanda, mobile penetration in the country was at 38.4 per cent as of July 2011.

Amazing “Home Game” afternoon tea in the most perfect setting for any football fan! Food was amazing andstaff were friendly and helpful!
19. lokakuuta 2020
We ordered one home and one afternoon tea and the whole experience was amazing. The sandwiches were really fresh, the fish and chips and Yorkshire pudding with beef and gravy were hot and so tasty. The service was exceptional. We went on a Monday and it was half price but would have definitely have paid full price
17. lokakuuta 2020
Great food, love all the memorabilia and the fine details such as leather football style menus

We took my local university student son for lunch here. The food was excellent and well prepared and presented. The pie with my “Scholsey” was one of the best I’ve had. We had to wait for our meal but because we were talking we didn’t really notice but the staff member gave us a discount without us mentioning it which afterwards was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend and will certainly go back here when visiting our son in Manchester

We went for my son’s birthday. All the food was lovely But one of the meals and side order came out later than the others luckily it didn’t ruin the meal overall. Would definitely go back

Was very quiet for a bank holiday afternoon, ordered starters and mains for the four of us and felt it took a little longer than expected. The food was spot on as was the overall service, the extra goodies for the kids was also appreciated.
30. elokuuta 2020
Food was lovely, had to ask for the little drink you get with it, never asked us or gave us tea/coffee.

What an amazing experience at cafe football. It was my daughters 10th birthday and we were greeted with a bunch of balloons and a birthday card. Husbands club sandwich was only just warm and the cheese was missing off my chicken burger but overall a great experience. The only thing we did not like was the sticky toffee pudding. It was Tasteless and a very funny texture inside had a kind of skin on the outside too. Was not enjoyable at all. They ice cream though was delicious.
28. elokuuta 2020
We have visited many times before when visiting the ground or megastore and the children love it here. This time however the service was not as it has been previously and was extremely slow especially considering there was only us and 2 other tables in the restaurant, therefore this did let our experience this time down. The food was on the whole lovely, the children enjoyed the kids meals there wasn't the normal choice in the sweet shop part which is their favourite part. The lamb kofta was slightly too salty but overall we did enjoy the food.
4. maaliskuuta 2020
Booked lunch after a tour of Man Utd’s old Trafford grounds and museum. Just 2 mins walk from the souvenir shop. Friendly staff. Clean restaurant and toilet. Pizza was good but the chicken wing starter was a disappointment. Overcooked and burnt in fact and very greasy.

“The objective is to keep the relations with the International Monetary Fund, but not at any cost,” stated Premier Ion Chicu. In a video interview at IPN, the official said a pause in the relations with the IMF could be taken if the given institution opposes investments in infrastructure or insists on the rise in gas tariffs.
The official said the IMF is an international financial institution and a partner with whom the Moldovan authorities cooperated in different periods of time, successfully or less successfully. There were times when the country had no relations with the IMF, but it didn’t mean that the relations were worse. A program with the IMF should exist as this also entails reforms besides financial support.
Premier Chicu noted he would like a new program to be signed after the current program expires next March. But the IMF is a partner that imposes conditions that sometimes can obstruct the Government’s development plans and investments in infrastructure. A solution should be thus identified. If the IMF insists on not making investments, a pause could be taken.
According to the Premier, two risks can be experienced in the cooperation with the IMF after next March – the opposition to making investments in infrastructure and the demand to raise gas tariffs for end users. The previous government undertook to do this. In a meeting with representatives of the IMF, this condition was imposed on the government. Two days earlier, an agreement to cheapen the gas that will be supplied to Moldova in 2020 by US$70 was reached in Moscow. If the IMF insists on increasing tariffs, a break with this institution would be taken.
The interview “Prime Minister Ion Chicu’s view about the state of affairs in Moldovan society at the intersection of years” forms part of the series. “Crossroads of years through the angle of the ideal of living better at home” that also involves President Igor Dodon and the leaders of the main parliamentary parties Andrei Năstase, Pavel Fillip and Maia Sandu.

Vernissage 16 January 2020 – 5 pm
Presented in association with Foreman Art Gallery of Bishop’s University, Fabulous Images. When Fiction Takes Root examines the hermeneutical scope of science fiction as a narrative genre in the context of emancipatory discourses that foster ethnocultural diversity. The exhibition features works by Canadian and international artists, novels, posters, popular films, video games and collectibles, all of which are at the juncture of sci-fi and identity politics. Touching on a vast array of representation, from the utopian refuge to the darkest dystopias by way of uchronian narratives and social speculations, Fabulous Images examines how fiction reveals the possibilities of alternative existences.
This exhibition inaugurates a new cycle of partnership between Sporobole and the Foreman Art Gallery of Bishop’s University. On a yearly basis, the two institutions work together to co-produce an exhibition showcased in both venues.
Commissaires : Gentiane Bélanger & Alexandra Tourigny-Fleury
////// At Foreman Art Gallery : Sonny Assu, Danis Goulet, The Iyapo Repository, Skawennati
////// At Sporobole : Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind
In the Future, They Ate From the Finest Porcelain, 2015
On the occasion of the exhibition Fabulous Images. When Fiction Takes Root, Sporobole presents a film installation by Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind. Taking the form of a fictional video essay, In the Future, They Ate From the Finest Porcelain resides in the cross-section between sci-fi, archaeology and politics. Combining live motion and CGI, the film explores the role of myth for history, fact and national identity.
A narrative resistance group makes underground deposits of elaborate porcelain – suggested to belong to an entirely fictional civilization. Their aim is to influence history and support future claims to their vanishing lands. Once unearthed, this tableware will prove the existence of this counterfeit people. By implementing a myth of its own, their work becomes a historical intervention – de facto creating a nation.

Robot Expert Predicts An Alarming (But Fascinating) Future
Gil Weinberg founded the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology, and he’s implementing advanced technology to his courses: robots. The musician and roboticist programs robots to play music, but he’s also using his skills and knowledge with robots to predict startling facts about the future. Read on to learn what Weinberg predicts.
A Marimba-Playing Robot
Weinberg has gained attention for programming a robot to play the marimba alongside human musicians. The robots listens to music and improvises. Recently, Weinberg has programmed his robots to also compose music. The robots listen as humans and improvise as machines. The robot is designed to play the music perfectly and it never misses a beat.
The robot, which Weinberg named “Shimon,” has a long, narrow neck, a head, and a camera attached to its robotic body in order for it to see the other musicians. As Weinberg explains, music has a lot of visual cues. Your mind is influenced by your body, and the robot mirrors this movement.
Recently, Weinberg helped an amputee who wanted to receive a prosthetic arm to play music again. The roboticist agreed that it would be possible, but he shouldn’t limit himself to only being able to play music again. Instead, Weinberg created a robotic prosthetic that would enhance the amputee’s musical abilities far more than how he performed prior to his accident.
Looking Toward The Future
Weinberg is working with his robots to implement technology to enhance daily routines for amputees, including eating, drinking, and more. Amputees will have a brighter future through the hands of robotic prosthetic features, and Weinberg is confident this technology will change the future of prosthetic technology. But, he’s also looking toward the future with how robots are programmed…
In Search Of A Soul
Weinberg believes someday robots will have souls, just like humans. They will differ, but they will carry the same emotions, sexual feelings, and more. More music robots will be invented to demonstrate that robots connect to the songs they’re performing, similar to how humans have emotional connections to music. In the future, we won’t be that different from robots. So, let’s be prepared.

Lat weekend Marina was still housesitting the B&B on Tomales Bay, so we went for another visit. On Saturday we drove up Highway 1, north of Bodega Bay and explored the Sonoma Coast. It was incredibly windy, but so beautiful.
Of all the places we stopped, Duncan's Landing was the most beautiful and dramatic. It was fun seeing the beaches whose names I only know from Marina's paintings.
By this point there was so much salt spray on my filter that I should have cleaned it to improve clarity. Live and learn.
Afterwards we had a couple rounds of drinks at the Valley Ford Hotel, which I highly recommend. (When I was a kid, age 7 or 8, my aunt and uncle got married there. I remember part of the wedding feast being a luau pig cooked underground that exploded and got stuck in a tree. They got it down and we ate it and it was delicious.)
After feasting on a late breakfast of spinach and asiago omelets, smoked salmon bagels and honeydew melon (and shooing the cat away), we drove over to the Point Reyes National Seashore and hiked the Tomales Point Trail.
It was the absolute worst time of day for portraits but I still love this. Thanks for the photo, Marina.
We hiked about 7 miles round trip, but with those views, it didn't feel like it. This woman is an inspiration.
It's a bit of a drive and a bit of a hike, and so worth it.

Great course indeed. I was following the materials and videos of the crisis for a long time and this course perfectly summarized everthing back by data analysis. Highly recommended to all enthusiasts.
Sep 01, 2018
This course was excellent. The short yet crisp lectures have given me a fair perspective of what came before, during and to an extent after the GFC. I feel I will greatly benefit from this knowledge.
By Caelyn M•
May 29, 2016
This was a great course. It was very well structured and the quizzes after each lecture were useful for quickly catching my own misunderstandings about the material presented. I learned so much from it and it really changed my perspective on the global financial crisis. My only complaint is that there no guidance on where to get supplementary information, either books or articles, on the topic.
By Ray A C•
Dec 18, 2016
Excellent course, great lecturers very knowledgeable of the field. Both Lecturers gave an excellent explanation on their respective stand point on the crisis and how the effects were viewed, one from actually trying to mitigates the effects while the other observed. I will recommend this course to anyone in the banking field and search for similar courses to gain a better understanding.
By Alex M•
Mar 25, 2018
Very strong, methodological course of a complicated subject, made easy to learn by the excellent stewardship of Andrew Metrick. Updates are overdue for the outfall of Euro-crisis. Timothy Geithner is not as natural a teacher and his lectures are less rich. Overall however the course makes for targeted learning with appropriate detail and analysis that challenges pre-econcptions.
By Rahul J•
Apr 25, 2020
Really enjoyed the course, and I felt I learnt a lot! The professors provided a detailed, yet relatively easier to understand insight of an important event in our financial history. I would recommend supplementing the classes with a couple of movies - The Big Short, and Margin Call, in addition to the documentary Too Big to Fail. This will steepen the learning curve.
By David V•

Professors are great speakers, well informed on the subject matter. The videos are broken into smaller chunks and the slides align well, which makes it easier to complete the exams. Overall, very pleased and learned quite a bit. The multiple choice questions seem to be the most difficult, as you really need to hunt for the answers within the video content.

This course is very informative. I was surprised how many pieces there are
to the financial puzzle. I found the suggested reading material to be interesting
and enlightening too. I plan to gradually read all of the books that I have not yet
read. The professor delivered the lectures in a clear and concise manner. This has
been time well spent. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this course. It is the perfect choice for someone who would like to further deepen the knowledge of the subject. Moreover, although the lessons are registered and are not live-streaming, it still has been a privilege to hear what happened during the crisis from the lips of one of the major political Actors of that period.

This was an excellent insight into the key structures of the financial system leading to the 2007/08 crisis explaining how financial innovations in the shadow banking sector created systemic risk via runnable funding. Taught well with excellent insights from Mr Geithner on the actual experience to responding to the crisis and managing it.
By Mahika B•
Feb 08, 2019
This course is extremely helpful for those willing to know the events that led to the Global Financial Crisis. I was not aware of aspects such as the Shadow Banking System playing an important role in 2008 and how it led to the collapse of the financial market. Timothy Geithner himself explains a module which was extremely helpful.

“This cobbler is a little non-traditional,” notes Graciela Sandvigen of Rochester, New York, “but it will soon be at the front of your recipe list because it's an easy and tasty dessert.” TIP: “Serve it warm with French vanilla ice cream,” Graciela recommends.
For a comforting old-fashioned treat, try this yummy peach cobbler suggested by field editor Doris Heath from Franklin, North Carolina. "I sometimes make it with cherries, apples or apricots instead," Doris shares.
Old-fashioned, delicious and easy-to-make describe this peach cobbler. Fresh from the oven and served with a scoop of ice cream, it will earn you rave reviews at the table.
-Doris Heath, Franklin, North Carolina
This dessert is so good yet so easy to make. Fresh peaches and a sweet crunchy topping give it comforting flavor. I like to dish it up warm with a scoop of frozen yogurt. —Leona Luecking of West Burlington, Iowa
This four-ingredient dessert can be ready in 10 minutes. When fresh peaches are not available, simply use frozen sliced peaches and adjust the microwave time.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin
I RECEIVED this recipe from my mother. It's one of the first desserts I make in the spring when our rhubarb comes in.
I discovered rhubarb and peaches go well together, and the biscuits make it a hearty dessert.
-Sheila Butler, Kansas City, Missouri
"This fruity dessert can be made on the stovetop or in an electric skillet right at the dinner table," informs Patricia Frerk of Syracuse, New York. "There's no more convenient way to enjoy the fruits of the season."

With the 4th of July just around the corner I was trying to think of what I could take to our family picnic that was tasty, economical and would feed a lot of people. That’s when I came across a deviled egg macaroni salad recipe. I love a good classic macaroni salad, but I also love deviled eggs. So adding just one extra step of mashing the yokes before making the dressing really kicks a simple macaroni salad up a notch.
I did some more searching and was surprised that a lot of the recipes for deviled egg macaroni salad weren’t much different than the way I make macaroni salad and chopped the eggs but didn’t mash the yokes. After all, it’s the mashed yokes mixed with the mayo and spices that make deviled eggs taste so good, so that is just what I did.
This is my own deviled egg macaroni salad but if you have your own way of making deviled eggs then you could easily adapt it and make it your own. I just mixed up the deviled egg mixture, increased the mayo and added some sweet pickle relish for a little kick.
Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad
- 1 pound macaroni or small pasta shells
- 8 hard boiled eggs (click here for a fail proof way to boil eggs)
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1/2 small red onion, diced (optional)
- 1 cup mayonnaise plus extra if needed
- 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
- Additional paprika for sprinkling on top (optional)
Cook pasta according to package directions. Immediately rinse with cold water, drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, peel hard boiled eggs and rinse well to remove shells. Slice eggs lengthwise, remove yolk and place in a medium bowl. Chop egg whites and add to macaroni along with the celery and onion.
Mash egg yokes with a fork then add the mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, paprika and relish. Stir well until combined and mixture is smooth.
Fold deviled egg mixture into macaroni mixture (add a little extra mayo if needed). Once combined sprinkle with paprika if desired. Cover and refrigerate at least two hours before serving.
Tip: This would be an easy recipe to experiment with and make your own. If you prefer using Miracle Whip salad dressing instead of mayo in your deviled eggs then I bet it would come out great in your macaroni salad as well. In fact, I might just make it that way next time. I also plan to experiment with a deviled egg potato salad.

Julian Smith MP visited the Craven Homeless Hostel last week to reopen their newly refurbished building, Aireview House.
Aireview House is the Council’s temporary accommodation provision for the whole district. It had been closed for a year for a full refurbishment, and Julian Smith was able to see the updated accommodations, which have made all units self-contained and brought the facilities up to modern day standards.
The centre now also has an adapted unit suitable for those with mobility issues, and a training room which will be used by other agencies to deliver tenancy support sessions, debt and budgeting advice, and sexual health advice.
Julian Smith MP said, ‘It was a pleasure to be able to re-open the refurbished Craven Homeless Hostel. I am delighted to see the new facilities, and I am sure that they will enable the staff to deliver even better service to customers.’

SHIFTLESS WONDER! - HONDAMATICTM AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HONDA'S CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION
Automatic transmissions have been used in some All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) for many years, but until the introduction of the Hondamatic™ hydraulic transmission, ATV automatic transmissions used a traditional belt drive and pulley system. The fully automatic dual-mode Hondamatic transmission featured on the 2001 Honda Fourtrax Foreman Rubicon (TRX500) provides these features.
The usefulness of the Hondamatic transmission is maximized when combined with the computer-controlled, dual-mode continuously variable change program or the Electric Shift Program (ESP⁜'), already in use on the Fourtrax Foreman ES (TRX450ES) and Rancher (TRX350FE/TE) ATVs. The ESP allows the operator to select higher or lower output ratios, providing precise manual control of the transmission.
In a very simplified description, the Hondamatic hydraulic transmission uses the engine to drive a hydraulic pump that forces hydraulic fluid through sequential pistons. On the other side of these pistons, the pressurized fluid enters a second set of pistons that push against an angled plate (called a swash plate).
Because the cylinder body holding the pistons is splined to the output shaft, the pressure exerted on the swash plate causes the cylinder body to rotate. When the angle of the hydraulic motor swash plate is adjusted, the cylinder body (and, therefore, the output shaft) rotates faster or slower, resulting in higher or lower output drive ratios. When either of the two automatic transmission modes (D1-Maximum Performance or D2-Maximum Torque) is selected, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) continuously monitors input from six sensors to position the motor-side swash plate at the optimal ratio. Using the ESP mode, the ECU instructs the control motor to move the hydraulic motor plate to preset angles to simulate specific gear selection.
CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
The Hondamatic transmission is a hydromechanical continuously variable transmission with a fixed-volume piston pump and a variable-volume piston motor in opposition on the same shaft. As the Hondamatic is a closed circuit, any excess hydraulic fluid from the Hondamatic system is recirculated to the transmission using a separate charge pump. The Hondamatic transmission uses standard engine oil as hydraulic fluid.
Upon engagement by the centrifugal clutch, the engine turns the transmission's pump-side outer body, causing the fixed-angle pump-side swash plate within to rotate, sequentially stroking the pump side pistons. This action draws low-pressure fluid into the pistons, which discharge high-pressure fluid (corresponding to the input torque). The fluid is distributed to the high-pressure circuit by the distributor valve on the pump side.
The distributor valve on the motor side opens and feeds the high-pressure fluid to the pistons on the motor side for the suction stroke. Each distributor valve is eccentrically synchronized to the rotation of its respective swash plate, ensuring that fluid is transferred at the proper time. The amount of fluid discharged depends on the angle of the motor-side swash plate. The greater the slant, the farther the pistons move and the more fluid they transfer.
This additional volume transfer makes the motor side less efficient, resulting in a differential based on the volume transferred. As the motor-side pistons travel down the slope of the motor side swash plate, the fluid pressure is drawn through the pistons and rotates the motor-side cylinder body (which houses the pistons). As the cylinder is splined to the output shaft, the output shaft also rotates, transferring power to the drive train.
When the motor-side swash plate is perpendicular to the pump axis, the pistons do not stroke (therefore, oil is not discharged). In this condition, oil cannot flow between the pump and the motor and the motor is hydraulically locked (1:1 gear ratio). An overdrive is achieved by adjusting the swash plate to an angle beyond perpendicularity to the pump axis, creating a drive ratio of 1:0.84.
As the pistons begin their travel back up the motor-side swash plate, they begin their discharge stroke. The hydraulic fluid is transferred back through the motor-side distributor valve and into the low-pressure circuit of the body. The fluid then passes through the pump-side distributor valve, where it is timed to the suction stroke of the pump pistons.
The hydraulic fluid is transferred between the pump and motor piston chambers by the sprue-type distributor valves arranged radially around the shaft. The pump-side and motor-side distributor valves are eccentrically arranged on the shaft and are aligned to time the transfer of low-pressure and high-pressure fluid in tune with the direction and inclination of the pump and motor swash plates. As the cylinder rotates, the eccentrically arranged valves slide in and out of the cylinder body, opening and closing the paths in the body.
COMPRESSION BRAKING AND PRESSURE CONTROL
During normal running, the check valve in the pump-side cylinder feeds hydraulic fluid into the low-pressure circuit. The check valve is open when the hydraulic pressure in the low-pressure circuit drops below a specified level and, upon achieving the proper pressure, closes to prevent backflow. Under engine compression braking conditions (where the rotational force comes from the wheels), the motor side becomes a pump (driven by the input shaft) and the pump side becomes an hydraulic motor. In this situation, the high- and low-pressure circuits in the Hondamatic body are reversed.
The Hondamatic transmission uses a separate check valve to feed hydraulic fluid to the engine braking low-pressure circuit. Pressure control valves vent excessive high-pressure fluid into the low-pressure circuit during both normal running and compression braking conditions.
CHECK VALVES AND PRESSURE CONTROL VALVES
The input reaction force torque from the engine is transmitted to the pistons that are fixed within the rotating cylinder. This force is then transferred through the cylinder to the shaft (mechanical power train). When the ratio is 1:1 and the motor side swash plate exerts no reactive force against the motor cylinder, the input torque is transferred directly to output torque with no amplification. When the angle of the swash plate is increased, the reaction force increases, amplifying the output torque. The total output torque is the sum of the input reaction force torque and hydraulic output torque.
As previously discussed, the output shaft speed is controlled by the angle of the motor-side swash plate. The position of this swash plate is determined by the ECU, which uses various pieces of information to send commands to the control motor that moves the swash plate arm. The signals used to determine optimal Hondamatic output are:
- Throttle opening (throttle sensor)
- Vehicle velocity (speed sensor)
- Engine speed (rpm) (ignition pulse generator)
- Hondamatic motor-swash-plate angle (angle sensor)
- Gear position (gear position switch)
- Control mode and map (mode/map switch)
In the fully automatic modes (non-ESP), the ECU is continuously monitoring these signals. When a change in motor swash plate is deemed necessary, the ECU sends a signal to the control motor, which moves the ball screw (attached to the swash plate arm) via reduction gears.
There are two rider-selectable automatic modes: D1-Maximum Performance and D2-Maximum Torque. The D1 mode emphasizes higher engine horsepower output for riding performance, while the D2 mode maximizes torque output performance. Within these rider-selectable modes, there is a choice of standard output ratios (Drive) or lower output ratios (Low) using the automobile-like shift lever. Reverse can also be selected using this gear lever which engages a reverse gear located in thesubtransmission.
When the operator selects the ESP feature, the UP and DOWN buttons on the handlebar switch are enabled. When the appropriate button is pressed, the ECU commands the control motor to move the swash plate to the next higher or lower preset position.
The Hondamatic transmission is the first continuously variable transmission of its kind. Housed within a compact, fully sealed assembly, it uses the principles of hydrostatic drive, mechanical power transfer and modern electronic controls to create a unique hydromechanic drive. Unlike traditional belt drives, the Hondamatic is quiet, maintenance-free, rugged, impervious to external contaminants and features true engine braking.

Fashion: A Very Short Introduction
Malign Muses, Judith Clark’s groundbreaking 2005 exhibition at the Mode Museum in Antwerp, brought together recent and historical dress in a spectacular series of tableaux. The setting was designed to look like a 19th-century fairground, with simple plain wooden structures that evoked carousels, and oversized black and white fashion drawings by Ruben Toledo, which added to the feeling of magic and showmanship. The exhibition emphasized fashion’s excitement and spectacle. Intricate designs by John Galliano and Alexander McQueen mixed with interwar couture, including Elsa Schiaparelli’s ‘skeleton dress’, a black sheath embellished with a padded bone structure. A dramatic 1950s Christian Dior evening dress in crisp silk, with a structured bodice and sweeping skirt, caught with a bow at the back, was shown, as was a delicate white muslin summer dress made in India in the late 19th century, and decorated with traditional chain stitch embroidery. Belgian designer Dries Van Noten’s jewel-coloured prints and burnished sequins of the late 1990s stood next to a vibrantly hued Christian Lacroix ensemble of the 1980s. This extravagant combination of garments was rendered comprehensible by Clark’s cleverly designed sets, which focused on the varied ways in which fashion uses historical references. The exhibition’s theatrical staging connected to 18th-century Commedia del Arte shows and masquerades, and linked directly to contemporary designers’ use of drama and visual excess in their seasonal catwalk shows.
Malign Muses was later staged at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, where it was renamed as Spectres: When Fashion Turns Back. This new title expressed one of the contradictions at the heart of fashion. Fashion is obsessed with the new, yet it continually harks to the past. Clark deployed this central opposition to great effect, encouraging visitors to think about fashion’s rich history, as well as to connect it to current issues in fashion. This was achieved through the juxtaposition of garments from different periods, which used similar techniques, design motifs, or thematic concerns. It was also the result of Clark’s close collaboration with fashion historian and theorist Caroline Evans. By using Evans’ important insights about fashion and history from her 2003 book Fashion at the Edge: Spectacle, Modernity and Deathliness, Clark revealed fashion’s hidden impulses. Evans shows how influences from the past haunt fashion, as they do the wider culture. Such references can add validity to a new, radical design, and connect it to a hallowed earlier ideal. This was apparent in the fragile pleats of the Mme Gre`s dress included in the show, which looked to classical antiquity for inspiration. Fashion can even speak of our fears of death, in its constant search for youthfulness and the new, as evoked by Dutch duo Viktor and Rolf’s all-black gothic-inspired gown.
Visitors could therefore not only see the visual and material aspects of fashion’s uses of history, but through a series of playfully constructed vignettes, they were able to question the garments’ deeper meanings. In a continuation of the exhibition’s fairground theme, a series of carefully conceived optical illusions used mirrors to trick the viewer’s eye. Dresses seemed to appear then disappear, were glimpsed through spy-holes, or were magnified or reduced in size. Thus, visitors had to engage with what they were looking at, and question what they thought they could see.

I have two well established rhubarbs that I need to relocate. Is there a time of year I should steer clear of doing this?
You should do it while the plants are dormant i.e. now. Unless your soil is frozen or waterlogged
ok, thank you.
While you are moving it, now could be a good idea to split it as well. Just adding my penny worth.
Mine are in pots so sounds like now would be the perfect time to get them in the veg border.
Yes, allium2, now is a great time to plant them in soil and they'll really appreciate it after being grown in pots.

My favorite trick is my “gimme more” pose as you can see in my photos. I love to hang out behind people I like but during walks I am very good and will look up at you to make eye contact frequently while walking right by your side. Although I love people, there are many dogs I don’t get along with. Sometimes I get a bit frustrated and poke them away. This could partly come from living with over 10 dogs in my last home, so I dream of a home where I am the only dog and everyone will play with me!

2021 - 2022 Season
By Jacqueline E. Lawton
Directed by Keyanna Alexander
November 11th - 15th, 2021
Considered by some to be the greatest novel ever written, Anna Karenina is Tolstoy’s classic take about love and adultery set against the backdrop of high society Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Keeping with the rich, complex, and masterful cultural setting, Anna K is set in Paris during the 1920’s, at a time when Black artists fled America to the city of lights, love and opportunity and the DADA movement swept through Europe in response to WWI. This bold, provocative and lyrical adaptation follows Anna as she struggles to leave a loveless marriage and her young adoring son so that she might achieve a successful career and embrace the love of her life, only to face her painfully, tragic demise. It also follows Levin, an awkward, self-deprecating though highly skilled and talented DADA artist, who journeys to Paris in search of love, acceptance, and artistic recognition.
Welcome to KTC’s production of Anna K by Associate Professor Jacqueline E. Lawton. You will notice that this production will have two actresses performing the role of Anna. I wanted to take a moment to explain how we got here.
Originally, the play was written for Anna to be mixed-race white and Black woman. However, during our rehearsal process, we learned that our lead actress was a mixed race white and Indian (Gujarati) woman. After a conversation with the director and the actress, Professor Lawton felt as though she could do a revision that would center the story on a mixed-race Indian character, and still maintain the integrity of the script.
With the revision of the script as an option, the KTC board met with the company and Professor Lawton to discuss how to proceed. We all felt that continuing the production with the role of Anna double cast was the best course of action and would create a truly inclusive experience. While we did not intend to arrive at this moment, we have taken great care in our decision, and we hope that you enjoy the play that we’ve created.
As an educational theatre, KTC is determined to use this experience to improve, grow, and develop best practices around casting. I am incredibly proud of my students and how they handled this difficult situation, I am also very grateful to Jacqueline for her thoughtfulness, support, and flexibility. In support of this production, we will have a symposium prior to the Saturday performance discussing Race and Representation in the American Theatre. This symposium will be facilitated by Professor Lawton.

Nothing changes the appearance of our world as quickly as snow. The gray and brown highlights of just a week ago are buried in white and the frozen surface of the soil is softened. That the world is blanketed is a good way to describe it- now the ground is insulated and protected from freezing deeper. Untold millions of gallons of water are stored, to be released in spring or at least the next thaw. We tend to be petty, thinking mainly about our own convenience and not wanting to shovel or slow down when we drive, but from my perspective snow opens a world of animal tracks and snowshoes and a snow hanging on the boughs of trees, decorating them in celebration of a new season.
Birds look different against the white background too. Some are cryptically colored, like sparrow and juncos and chickadees, which blend in among the white and gray. Others seem become even more colorful- cardinals being an example of that. The seem to be a favorite of people who feed birds, and indeed their colors seem to pop when snow is on the ground.
Often people ask what has happened to the cardinals – that they aren’t been seen lately, especially when the winter is mild and ground bare. They are still around, but don’t need to gather at feeders as much as other wild food is often abundant. Add six inches of snow and there they are, back at the feeders. Like most birds they are good at either remembering where feeders are, or recognizing them.
If one looks at old records, one won’t find mention of cardinals around here before the 1940’s – they didn’t live in this region. They are a southern bird which has slowly been making its way north, and are now a familiar part of our permanent birdlife. They are continuing to extend their range northward, as are other southern species like the tufted titmouse and Carolina chickadee, which are almost certainly responding to a warming climate. Their range is now from northern Wisconsin to Central America.
In addition to warming climate, northern cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) also benefit from the ways people have changed the land. They prefer open woodlands and shrubby areas rather than mature forests, and are very much at home in suburban areas. They build a nest of twigs not far off the ground, and aggressively defend their territories. It is not uncommon for both male and female cardinals to challenge their own reflections in windows, probably thinking they are rivals. This can last for several weeks, until levels of reproductive hormones subside. Also, both male and female cardinals sing, one of the few species to do that.
Young cardinals look like females, although they lack the black mask. Eventually young males begin to molt and are a blotchy red in fall, but by winter are all red. Females remain an olive-tan color year round. I believe the adult males molt in fall also, so they are at the reddest in the winter. Their are subtle variations in hue, however, with some males being deeper red than other. This may be due to a combination of age (mature adults being deeper red) and diet (the berries of some plants, especially invasive honeysuckle, has been known to influence the color of feathers). In the last couple of years, yellow cardinals have been found in a couple of locations.
Cardinals are place in the same family as the also brightly colored tanagers. There are a couple of differences, the cardinals sporting their distinctive crests, and also their massive beaks which make opening large, hard seeds easier. They can use those with considerable force, applying that to either seeds or the hands of unwary bird banders!
It is not uncommon to see six or more cardinals at the feeders at Woodland Dunes at a time when there is snow on the ground. They do well in the brush habitat around our headquarters, and in late summer and fall just as many fledglings as adults visit. Even though they are a common bird, they add much to the winter landscape and give us something to look forward to seeing during the coldest of days.

In this series, we talk to people who turned their passion for food and baking into a business idea amidst lockdown and COVID-19 fears. Some have been in the market for years and others saw the new opportunity and took it! With new challenges presenting themselves in light of the current economic crisis in the country, we talk to home bakers who are navigating through these difficult times and bringing the sweet and savoury to your very own doorstep!
Home baker Stella Martinesz remembers her first order for a sale at church in 1997 – milk toffees and pumpkin toffees. Passionate about making different foods, Martinesz experimented with recipes she learned from her mom and aunt and started to undertake small orders. “I never went to a culinary school or did any cookery courses. All my skills are self-taught. I loved doing finger food and I have always loved spicy food so I started making savoury finger food for orders. I went through new recipes to see if I can try anything new or add additional ingredients to improve my recipes. In 2014, I named my business Hayden’s Spicy Treats after my son Hayden Lucas was born and embarked on my journey in the food catering industry!”.
What do you offer?
My speciality is savoury finger food which suits any occasion, and my customers have always loved and complimented the quality of my savoury finger food. I do items like Pies, Sandwiches, Mini pizza, Egg boats, Quiche, pastry items etc. The signature dishes and my personal favourites are Egg boats, Chicken Pie and Vegetable Sandwiches. Everyone is in absolute love with those!
What is your signature style?
I always try to customise the flavours and the spice preference as per the customer’s requests. That plays a big part. Also, the quality of the ingredients I use, the neatness of how my foods are made and the flavours are what make my short eats stand out from the competition.
What’s it like running your operations during times like these?
The COVID period was really challenging. There was a big drop in orders as events and parties were restricted during the pandemic. Additionally, it was difficult to get supplies due to the sudden curfews. It was a really challenging period to endure because this is the only income I have. Now, the orders keep coming but I have to turn down so many because of the gas supply issue. My spare cylinders are empty and therefore I cannot take a risk of not being able to provide my customers with their orders on time. The challenge then was to keep my business afloat when everything went into lockdown, and the demand decreased due to group gatherings being restricted. Right now, it’s extremely difficult to keep going because of the gas shortage, and the prices of everything including the ingredients going up. I try my best to offer the items on my menu at a reasonable price.
How are you ensuring the proper hygiene measures are taken in preparation and delivery?
The key is to purchase fresh ingredients and store products hygienically and after preparing to ensure that everything is safely packed and sealed in boxes before delivery to the customers.
What do you enjoy about baking and operating your own home baking business?
The biggest satisfaction about being a baker is getting compliments and feedback from my customers saying how much they enjoyed the food. For me, it’s never about how much profit I make, it’s all about how much people enjoy what I make. That’s what makes me really happy at the end of the day. I choose to be a home baker as I’m a single mom and it’s a job that I can do at home while tending to my son’s needs and other parental responsibilities. But I’m happy because even my 9-year-old son helps me with my orders now. He is more like a quality controller and makes sure that the end product is perfect.
Any advice to anyone who wants to start their own business?
I would advise anyone who wants to start their own home-based business just one thing - you don’t have to be a professional. Just do what you love and always try to do your best.

Cassava industry in Thailand
Thailand is currently the third largest producer of cassava in the world, after Nigeria and Brazil. Because cassava is drought-tolerant and insect-resistant, it is easy to grow and is suitable for planting in northeastern Thailand where most droughts and other crops are not suitable for growth. At present, there are 45 cassava plants in the 76 provinces of Thailand. The main producing areas are located in the northeast, north and central parts of Thailand (including the east). From 1993 to 2003, the average area of cassava cultivation in Thailand was about 7.3 million rai (about 17.5 million mu) per year. It is mainly distributed in northeastern Thailand (53%) and central (33%), with a small amount (14%) in the north.
Rice, rubber, cassava and longan are listed as the most important agricultural products in Thailand. As the world market has increased awareness of the versatility and superiority of cassava products (the lower cost of cassava compared to other industrial materials), the demand for cassava products is increasing. At present, cassava is developing into a very important economic crop in Thailand. Thailand is the third largest cassava planting area in the world. There are about 600,000 households that grow cassava every year. More than 2 million farmers in the country mainly use cassava as the main source of income. From cassava production to cassava processing industry, there are more than 10 million employees in the country, accounting for about one-sixth of the total population of Thailand.
Cassava flour milling plant and cassava flour milling line are also in great demand in Thailand. KEMC is one of the top cassava flour mills suppliers from China. Sino-Thai cooperation deepens all the time. There are many connection between these two countries in tourism, export and import, so import cassava flour milling production line and cassava flour milling plant is a wise choice.

Monaco is situated on the eastern coast of France, adjacent to Italy. Consequently, its food has strong influences of the French and Italian cuisine. Its breakfasts are mainly on the lighter side, but they make up for it with a luxurious lunches and dinners. The Monegasque cuisine comprises a lot of fish, vegetables and fruits because of its Mediterranean connections and has its own distinct character. If you want to taste the best food from Monaco, read on…
The popular fish stew Bouillabaisse has its roots in the port city of Marseille but is also loved by the Monégasque. The traditional stew comprises three fish varieties, usually sea robin, European conger and red rascasse. The most important thing is that several varieties of fish is used and that the fish is very fresh. The fish is prepared alongside other ingredients like mussels, tomatoes and potato, thickened and seasoned with rouille sauce. This is made of breadcrumbs, olive oil, cayenne pepper, garlic and saffron. However, depending on the region, the ingredients differ and the aromatic spices and herbs being used make the difference.
If you’ve ever been to south France, you probably had Pissaladière before. The dish is originally from Nice and is made from a dough which is halfway between a bread dough and a pizza dough. The Monégasque version is topped with caramelized onions, olives and anchovies.
Barbajuan is a kind of fritter stuffed with ricotta cheese and Swiss chard among other ingredients. The fillings differ but often also include onion, rice, leeks, spinach and Parmesan cheese. The dish is mostly eaten on the 19th of November, the country’s national day, but of course you can find it as a delicious appetizer on other days too.
The traditional seafood dish of Slocafi is dried cod which before preparation is usually soaked for about 24 hours. It is stewed in rich red wine, tomato sauce with onions and garlic and flavoured with black olives and small vegetables. It is mostly served with potatoes. A variation of the recipe also includes adding cognac while cooking the fish.
You most probably know the world-famous dish Gnocchi already. We would normally expect Gnocchi in Italy and it may surprise many that it’s a traditional fare in Monaco. Gnocchi are thick, small dumplings made with dough comprising of mashed potatoes, flour or semolina and other ingredients like cheese, bread crumbs and egg. In Monaco, Gnocchi are served with a velvet-like butter sauce or a light red wine and tomato sauce and with fresh local shellfish.
Porchetta is an Italian cuisine made from a boneless pork roast stuffed with flavourings such as fennel, aromatic herbs and its own offal. It is cooked over a pit until perfectly tender and tastes soft and juicy and best when eaten warm.
Fougasse is a dish that is usually associated to Provence but it is widespread in many other countries, including Monaco. It is a sweet bread flavoured with oranges and decorated with nuts, raisins and anise and can usually be found in the local bakeries. In ancient Rome, Fougasse was traditionally used to assess the temperature of a wood fired oven. The baking time gave an idea of the oven temperature and whether the rest of the bread could be loaded.
Socca is a popular street food in Monaco and some would even say it is their national dish. Socca is a crepe or pancake made of chickpea flour, olive oil, onions and herbs like rosemary. The dish is often cut into wedges, sprinkled with salt and pepper and sold hot. Whereas the outer part is crispy, the inside has a creamy flavour. Delicious!
This dish is indigenous to the Nice region of France and comprises of a sandwich, made from whole wheat bread stuffed with a sumptuous salad of hard-boiled eggs, raw vegetables, anchovies, olive oil and spices. It makes a mouth-watering appetizer that can mainly be found in supermarkets and bakeries and has a fresh and juicy taste.
Galapian is another sweet treat and is made with a batter of egg whites, almonds, cherries and cantaloupe, bushed with a honey glaze. It’s a perfect treat for all those with a sweet tooth with just the right amount of sweetness coming from the fruit and goes perfectly with a glass of wine.

Being a mother is a full-time job that requires you to do everything in your power to make your child happy and keep him healthy. If you have a daughter, the most important thing to do is to build and maintain a healthy relationship with her. This way, she will trust you and come asking for advice when she’s in need, allowing you to help her stay out of trouble. The truth is that girls can sometimes be more difficult than boys, having different problems and tempers. Therefore, you have to be careful how you approach your daughter to make her see you as a friend instead of an enemy. If you want to learn how you can build a healthy mother-daughter bond, continue to read this article.
Talk about everything and share secrets
The most important step in building a strong and healthy bond with your daughter is communication. Teenage girls especially need someone to talk to, sharing their problems and secrets. For your daughter to confide in you, make sure that you reserve at least an hour every day for talking with her. Ask her how her day was, with who she went out, how her relationships are going, and ask about everything that is happening in her life. If she doesn’t feel like sharing certain things with you, don’t pressure her. If you give her space, she will most likely come to you on her own to talk. Also, make sure that you share your problems, thoughts, and experiences with her. After all, you can’t expect her to tell you everything if you don’t do the same.
Reserve a day for going out together
To get closer to each other, reserve a day per week in which you go out together and do activities that you both like. For example, you could go out to dinner together, or go see a movie. Although, make sure that you don’t interfere with her plans. If she wants to go out with her friends, reschedule the plans that you had with her. Otherwise, she will feel smothered by you. Also, make sure that you don’t embarrass her when you go out. Don’t call her nicknames or treat her like a child because she won’t be receptive to going out with you anymore. Try to see her as a friend when you go out, not as your daughter that you raised since she was born.
Offer your daughter trust
A big mistake that a lot of mothers make is to try and be too controlling over their daughter’s lives. Give her the trust that she needs and deserves, and keep your distance when it’s needed. For example, if she says that she wants to go out with her boyfriend, don’t call her continuously or set an unfair curfew. If you do this, she will get mad at you and she won’t trust you anymore. Have faith in her that she will make the right decisions, and even if she makes mistakes, accept them as they are instead of making a big case out of everything that happens. We all learn from our mistakes, and it’s important to trust that she will do the same.
Don’t scold her when she’s honest
You were her age once, and this is a thing that you must never forget. Even if you didn’t have the same experiences like her, it doesn’t mean that you were perfect. All people make mistakes, especially when they’re teenagers and young adults. Therefore, when she comes to you and confides about a mistake that she did, don’t scold her too much about it. It’s better to simply listen to what she has to say, and give impartial advice that will help her get over her problems. Just remember that she’s human, and she’s not perfect. Accept her as she is, try to guide her to not repeat the same mistakes, and let her have her own positive and negative experiences in life.

Arizona law enforcement agencies are teaming up to make sure you and your kids are buckled up in the car.
The move is part of the nation's "Click It or Ticket" initiative -- a safety campaign that targets drivers not wearing seat belts.More Arizona officers will be looking for offenders starting Monday through the first week of June. Enforcement in the state is under a secondary seat belt law for adults, however, Arizona has a primary child safety seat law. Car crashes continue to be one of the leading causes of death and injury in Arizona, a media release says. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, proper seat belt use reduces risk of death or serious injury by 50 percent. For infants and toddlers, correct safety seat usage cuts down on serious injuries and death by 71 and 54 percent respectively.
From a personal injury perspective, proper use of seatbelts reduce the potential for injury and/or the potential severity of accident related injuries. Similarly, helmets reduce both risks in accidents involving motorcyclists and bicyclists. Not only does the failure to wear a seatbelt increase the risk and severity of injury from an accident, but it can also reduce one’s recoverable “damages” stemming from an accident related injury. For example, someone who hits their head on their windshield in a car crash, will likely find their recovery for the severity of any head injuries, as well as the cost of any related treatment, significantly reduced.
Besides the “cost” of being cited for no seatbelt, the potential “cost” to our health and wellbeing isn’t worth any inconvenience posed by using a seatbelt.
Moreover, as adults, we owe it to our children to model positive behavior. This means that we need to both wear our seatbelts whenever driving, but also insist that all of our passengers wear their seatbelts. We want it to become second nature for our children to always put on their seatbelts, even when we’re not there to remind them.

This is CB's best record to date, with a slightly leaner sound that stays true to the chaotic influence of jazz music on modern times. This is a must have for Ohio-music fans who lean toward the abstract.
"Spastic and strident. Gunzburg's thick layers of distortion make "Gnarly Chaplin," "Junk Jazz," and "Old-Timey Physics" rumble like revving Harley engines, belching lava cauldrons, and stampeding elephants. While Joseph's shambolic stickwork on "Is This Ride Operational?" feels like a bevy of bowling balls in a blender."
THE BIG TAKEOVER
"Fuzz Fuzz Fuzz; now that I've gotten that out of the way. It's a construction of synched instruments and melodic riffs over drums. The drums are gregarious and fun; a lot of subtley The vocals are an oasis from the insanity -- so harmonious that it lets you know the instrumental nature of the album is a clear aesthetic choice and not a lack of ability. This is a fun album by an interesting band."
"Musically, junk jazz isn't a terrible description. There's some art rock, lots of psych and krautrock, and yes, some jazz. Within most of the songs, they do a lot of different things, have several different "movements". Some of them ("Gnarly Chaplin," "Spare Particles," the title track, and "One Big Button") even have some dreamy vocals in them. Sometimes they do some ridiculously fast psych freakout stuff, sometimes they play it heavy, sometimes they do some nice slow jams. Sometimes the drums sound like when you were in gym class in elementary school and the teacher would dump out a bag full of basketballs and they'd hit the ground and each other at different times and make a cool sound…where was I going with this? I am pretty impressed with the musicianship on here. There are a couple points where you'd swear that this song is about to fall apart into total chaos but then they keep it together. "Old-Timey Physics" closes out the album and takes up almost all of the second side. It starts with a slow, kinda pulsating part that gets more and more distorted and weird as it goes on. I know this is an odd reference to throw out, but it kinda reminds me of "Small Piece Of Germany" from the Ego Summit record a little bit. There's a fake out ending before it goes into a more uptempo section. I like how right when you start to get into a groove, they change it up. Speaking of that, they eventually go back to the pulsating thing from the start, but this time with the drums having a fit over the top of it. Then, just when you think it's over, there's a short, quiet little fourth section that actually ends the record. This isn't really the kind of thing I listen to, but I think that's part of why I kinda like it. This is a solid record of what it is."
"Hard-driving guitar sounds. Maybe not something I would seek out; these guys were definitely in tune with their music."
"Fuzz-heavy with the heart of punk rock."
