text: From November 2012 to January 2013 I had a residency on Fogo Island, Newfoundland, Canada. During this time I worked in the newly built Squish studio designed by architect Todd Saunders. I got permission to use the outside of the building as support for a series of large-scale outdoor-paintings. The paintings were developed in response to the rapid changing weather conditions during the winter storm season. A scaffolding was installed for the largest two canvases. Wind, snow, ice, sleet and rain mixed with salt sea water would brake down the painting causing the colors spread and the canvas to bulge and rip or even fly away. After nature's undoing, I would have to come to secure and rework the paintings. To counteract the effects and avoid wet paint from flying off the brush into my eyes, I started to paint with careful gestures using a roller. The stylized motif of a wave about to brake became a predominant form.. In the exhibition I’m the Ocean at Trøndelag Senter for Samtidskunst Two of the works were later shown in the group show Pleinarism curated by Kitty Scott at the Banff Centre, Banff, Canada in 2013. The photos from TSSK are by Monica A. Svorstøl.

This is a guest post from Sarah Cockram, author of Isabella d’Este and Francesco Gonzaga: Power Sharing at the Italian Renaissance Court
My book Isabella d’Este and Francesco Gonzaga: Power Sharing at the Italian Renaissance Court has come out just in time for those wanting to know more about the subject of a new painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. The portrait of Isabella d’Este (marchesa of Mantua, 1474–1539) has just been discovered in a Swiss bank vault, in a story that would not be out of place in a Dan Brown novel.
A sketch of the Italian Renaissance noblewoman by Leonardo da Vinci is well known and can be seen in the Louvre but it was
believed that, despite Isabella’s wishes, the sketch was never worked up into a painted portrait. The new painting, claimed to be by Leonardo and his assistants (although, if so, unusual in being on canvas rather than wood), shows Isabella as an enigmatic figure, and comparisons are already being drawn to the Mona Lisa.
Isabella would certainly have enjoyed the controversy and being linked to the famous artist. Isabella strove to be recognised as the foremost woman of her times. Renowned today as the leading female patron of art in Renaissance Italy, Isabella was also an eminent supporter of music and literature; a trendsetter and fashion icon; and a sharp politician.
As my new book shows, the marchesa worked together with her husband Francesco Gonzaga to keep their state afloat in a turbulent age, and she was not above intrigue and double dealing. She held her own against the Borgias and has aptly been described as ‘Machiavelli in skirts’.
Sarah D.P. Cockram is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh, UK. Her book casts new light on a long misunderstood relationship and, drawing on largely unpublished archival material, reveals a world of behind-the-scenes diplomatic activity; network-building; sexual politics and seduction; court rivalries; Machiavellian intrigues and assassinations.

Simoldes, a business group headquartered in Oliveira de Azeméis, announced the construction of the first national factory to produce original battery ion cells for batteries, which may start operating as early as 2025.
In addition to the factory, a technological development center will also be built, with a total investment of over 27 million euros.
The project has now been approved under the Recovery Plan (PRR) and in addition to the Simoldes, the Vasco da Gama CoLab — which conceived and produced the first branch ion coin cells — and the Faculty of Engineering from the University of Porto.
SEE ALSO: Chinese CATL to build Europe’s largest battery factory
Speaking to Jornal de Negócios, Júlio Grilo, director of innovation at Simoldes Plásticos, said that the new factory and technology center will be located in Oliveira de Azeméis and construction could start as early as next year.
With this happening, the production of the new ion cells will start in 2025 and their promotion in 2026, through a new company that the group is establishing, Simoldes Energy.
The new factory responsible only for the production of cells, whose subsequent assembly in the batteries will be kept by the final integrators.
Where will they be used?
In this first phase, the new proposals for application ions are planned for the mobility and stationary sector (buildings) markets.
Within mobility, the biggest opportunity seems to reside, while in bicycles, as Portugal concentrates many bicycle factories and the transition to electric bicycles continues to gain momentum.
The automotive sector may also be included — Simoldes already supplies components for the automotive industry — but it will depend, as Júlio Grilo told Jornal de Negócios, “on the performance of the final battery”.
“Today it is still too early to perceive a similar performance to this performance cell compared to the current competitive technology”, elaborated Jú Grilo, but “our expectation is to achieve a similar performance with a level of economic competitiveness and sustainability of superior materials while doing”.
Sustainable alternative to sustainable?
There are several players in the automotive and battery industry that look to drug ion batteries as an alternative to intelligible ion batteries.
Comparing with NMC (Nickel, Manganese, Cobalt) ion batteries, such bass ion batteries have several points in their favor.
They are not very abundant through degradation, which are more abundant through degradation, which are more abundant through degradation, as the main raw material for safe cycles.
The environmental impact is less and they have the potential to be much cheaper (with mass production).
For example, “coin cells” — called watch, button, or coin batteries, used in watches or electronic devices — which Simoldes has already shown, according to its data, are 20% cheaper than ion equivalents.
The big “Achilles ion heel” remains their energy density which is lower than energy ion batteries: 160 Wh/kg versus 200-250 W. This makes them bigger and heavier.
Perhaps the director of innovation at Sim does not consider this technology as an alternative to this unique solution, but rather as a technology, but that the “old cannot be useful” due to its solution.

A project between Digbeth-based digital firm Mudlark and Birmingham City Council has been awarded a £30,000 grant to showcase how public data can be better shared with citizens.
The team aims to create an online “dashboard” where local residents can see a map of hotspots for requests for council services, covering areas as diverse as potholes, bin collection, graffiti and parking.
The idea is that residents can better understand issues affecting different parts of the city through the colour coded map, as well as get involved and discuss what is happening.
The project opens previously inaccessible records of public comments and complaints about council services in the city.
The Birmingham Civic Dashboard project has been selected as one of four projects to win a competition run by National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA), a lottery-funded organisation which promotes innovation in the UK.
Mudlark managing director Toby Barnes said: “With complaints and comments about things like parking or bins that come through the call centre, that information goes through the system and up to the senior management.
“Not only is that not available to the public, it’s also not available to some of the staff. We want to take it and put it on a dashboard.”
The competition is part of NESTA’s Make it Local project which aims to show how local authorities can work with digital agencies to unlock their data and provide useful web-based services for residents.
NESTA said local authorities hold significant amounts of public data, for example transport, carbon emissions, population and crime data, which could be used to power a range of useful, digital services.
Simon Whitehouse, implementation manager at Digital Birmingham, the Birmingham City Council initiative to make sure everyone enjoys the benefits of the digital age, said the project would open up new possibilities for the sharing of information.
He said: “It will give us the opportunity to explore the practical use of linked data within a local authority, revealing local concerns and issues being raised through our customer relationship management database.
“But equally we’re looking forward to making use of our open data to create a range of conversations with Birmingham residents.”
Philip Colligan, executive director of NESTA’s public services lab, said: “Councils hold huge amounts of data that has the potential to transform the way we all relate to public services, if only we could access it.
“Though the Make it Local campaign, we wanted to bring together digital media developers and pioneering local authorities to show exactly what could be achieved.”

We’ve all heard many horror stories from filmmakers who were thrilled to find a distributor for their film only to find the film was mishandled, shelved or the company went under with no recourse for the filmmaker to claim their rights back. There are also distributors so coveted for their professionalism and skill at finding the right audiences for their titles that everyone wants to work with them.

Best "fast" food in Central/South Austin?
I often find myself needing to grab a quick bite to eat in the evenings, without wanting to wait a long time, either for the food to be prepared, or to stand in a long line to order (sorry, Torchy's). I'm talking about the kind of place you can pretty consistently walk in and place your order and get your food quickly. I'm interested in either eat-in or to-go places. I've specified Central/South because that's where I live, but I'm interested in places downtown, South Austin, East Austin, and central Austin up about as far as 45th St., as those are places that I can get to relatively quickly. I'd prefer if the places were open in the evenings (sorry, Habanero), because that's the meal I most often want to eat out. What are your standbys? Any great food fast?
Pollo Regio, yes. I think it's some of the best fast-service/takeaway food on my area Riverside and Oltorf east of I35. There's also one a little further south, but I never went (Stassney, perhaps?).
Lately any attempt we've made to get some food in the area has resulted in regrets that we didn't just go to Pollo Regio or Java Noodles. Hai Ky on Oltorf is great, too, and fairly quick.
You may/probably know all those places, but given the topic and your parameters, I thought I'd put them in this thread (for posterity).
I tried Hai Ky a month or so ago, and yeah, they def'y meet the fast criteria. Spring rolls were also well put together and tasted good'n'fresh.
I tried the bun bo nuong (vermicelli w/ grilled beef), which is chock full of veggies and probably a relatively healthy dish:
I kinda wish the beef wasn't soaked in a diabetes-inducing brown sauce, but the addition of copious amounts of chili sauce and fish sauce made it palatable.
I've stopped by a coupla times since then for an iced coffee when in the nabe, but haven't felt the urge to go another round with the grub, though if I do, I might take others' suggestions to try their tofu dishes.
re: Paul Silver
I actually often end up eating at the Bowie Street BBQ counter at Whole Foods. I think their chopped beef sandwich is excellent, even though I am a person who doesn't usually use sauce. I think their sauce is great, and it complements their meat perfectly. Furr's, however...really? I haven't been to Furr's since after-church family trips in junior high, but I must say I don't have fond memories.
I used to write off all buffets until I decided to increase the proportion of vegetables in my diet and found buffets often offered a more interesting selection than single serving dining.
It is an adventure to revisit discarded venues with new eyes. In particular I have rediscovered liver and onions at Furr's along with their other protein Entrees, which I feel are a bargain. Same with Luby's, but they are not a buffet.
Some of my recent favorites in SE are La Moreliana and Mi Ranchito on WCannon. They both keep long hours and LM is quick. I love their deshrebada(during the week)and carnitas,tamales(weekends only). MR is in the back of a convenience store w/tables. They serve whole meals and everything I've had is very good.
There are 2 more on Bluff Springs Rd. from WC. One is a trailer on a trailer park that is open nights and weekends. The other truck is south on BSR at the convenience store. I still haven't figured out his hours but I had some good tinga chicken(hot)there last week.
My first Hill-Bert Burger experience was great. Grilled quarter pounder with cheese on a very tasty whole wheat bun (better than their regular bun) and a chocolate shake (made with real "butter fat" ice cream). It's a "fine fast food" place - old burger shack, looks a bit decrepit, where you can order burgers, fries, shakes, wings, and a couple other fried things like mozz sticks. I ate at the restaurant and have since discovered their food is best when fresh like this. Good way to start off a the night before going to drink stiff house-brewed beer at the Draught House a few blocks away on Medical.
Also, Koriente is usually very speedy as far as getting your food to you. They serve preposterously clean and healthy pan-Asian food. I think I read once that they even use honey or natural fruit juice in place of white sugar in their recipes. One day I'll start eating here four times a day and quickly become the healthiest man in Austin.
Know before you go - they are not a Korean restaurant. No restaurant that serves a hummus summer roll can claim to be a Korean restaurant. It's a restaurant that borrows from and healthily updates central and eastern Asian recipes.
EDIT: Website wouldn't let me add a second restaurant location, so I'll do it manually.
621 E 7th St., Austin, TX, 78701
(On 7th street between Red River and I-35
3303 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX
I like Wok on Fire in Sunset Valley's World Market/Linen's and Things strip mall (east side of Brodie at Jones Rd). There's a loty fo combinations to choose from, and it's one of the only places in South Austin you can get a decent chow fun noodle dish (that I know of).
Order at the counter, grab your own drink, find a seat, and in 5 minutes you'll have your dish.

Today a priest seized the monastery and put under the protection of so-called “Cossacks”. The news is strange, everywhere write about it; I’m also interested.
Found the video where the Abbot explains who and why he is fighting in the ROC. He stands in front of the camera in the Church: frowns, proves the correctness. But behind the icons are hanging, pictures of priests and next to them is a portrait of Stalin.
In the Church. Next to the icons. A Portrait Of Stalin.
Portrait of a man, head of the party of the Bolsheviks in the thirties, that is, in the era of militant atheist when priests were shot, looted Church property, destroyed churches.

Another appointee to be axed
The expected sacking of a presidential appointee on Wednesday underscores the Duterte administration’s seriousness in its fight against corruption, Malacañang said on Tuesday.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque is scheduled to name today the official President Rodrigo Duterte has fired.
“The point is, first of all, the President is really serious in this fight against corruption. Second, we can expect the President not to spare anybody, no friend, no classmate, no shooting body. As long as you make a wrong move, you will be fired,” Roque said in a radio interview.
He said the official had undergone an investigation.
Presidential appointees serve at the pleasure of the President, so it cannot be said that they have a right to due process, Roque said.
But they won’t be removed from their positions without a reason for the President’s loss of trust and confidence in them, he added.
Only government officials covered by the civil service law go through investigation before being sacked, Roque said.
The procedure covers police officials, some of whom are also going to be sacked, he added.

Over the break I have been travelling through my beautiful electorate of Corangamite.

I visited 29 schools and held 16 coffee shop meetings, where I spoke with hundreds of local residents and listened to their concerns and ideas.
This government has no plan and no answers to the education and skills crisis besetting this country. This latest budget does nothing to rectify the inadequacies in vocational education and training—inadequacies created exclusively by this government.
Mr Speaker, I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people, and pay respects to their elders past, present and emerging. To the people of Corangamite I say ‘thank you’ for your trust.

Microsoft’s cloud business hooks a big retailer
Microsoft is taking one the nation’s biggest apparel retailers to the cloud.
Gap Inc. said Friday that it will use Microsoft’s cloud portfolio to drive its company-wide digital transformation strategy. Armed with the company’s cloud technology, Gap said it is positioned to deploy new business capabilities and work more efficiently across the organization. The platform will also allow Gap employees across its brands worldwide, including Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, Athleta, Hill City and Intermix, to communicate, collaborate and share insights with one another.
Gap is migrating hundreds of applications to Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform in a move designed to support a seamless and personalized experience for customers as they shop across stores, online and mobile. The first priority is to move the key inventory, stores and site capabilities from the brand portfolio to the cloud, a move that will manage all products available for purchase in more than 90 countries, and through multiple channels, including over 3,100 company-operated stores.
In addition, Gap is using Microsoft’s platform-as-a-service offerings to accelerate its time to market for new customer services, and empower customers with greater flexibility in where and how they want to shop. The cloud also supports engineers’ and product management teams’ ability to rapidly develop, deploy and test new capabilities.

The Amazon might not have a ‘tipping point.’ But it’s still in trouble
The shore of a sea of nearly 400 billion trees winds through the central Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. Here, the Amazon rainforest rubs up against the Cerrado, the world’s largest savanna.
The two are distinct worlds — one a wet and verdant jungle, the other relatively dry and blanketed in wild grasses, shrubs and small trees. But no clear line demarcates the Amazon and the Cerrado. Instead, there’s a messy transition zone, a continuum of vegetation that grows taller toward the rainforest. Over thousands of years, the boundary ebbs and flows, driven by natural fluctuations in climate.
“But in this formula is a new element,” says ecologist Beatriz Marimon of Mato Grosso State University in Nova Xavantina. Humans, with their ambitions to domesticate the land, she says.
About half a century ago, throngs of people started streaming into the region along new highways, clearing forest for farmland and cattle ranches, she says. Fifty years is a blink in the life span of a forest nearly as old as the dinosaurs, but it’s plenty of time for humans to…

Kasaragod: The Ayyappan Vs Koshy battle between the KSEB and the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD) continues as the government's power distribution company pulls the plug on two more offices of the transport department in Kannur and Kasaragod districts.
Saturday morning, KSEB disconnected the power supply to Kannur's District Enforcement Control Room of the Regional Transport Office (RTO) at Mattannur. The RTO office ran up a bill of Rs 52,807 in two months and the deadline to pay the bill was on June 27, said a transport official in Mattannur.
Apart from monitoring the feeds from AI cameras, the MVD's electric cars used for squad work are recharged at the Mattannur office. "Of the five electric vehicles, three are recharged at Mattannur. Our squad work will also be affected," he said.
On Friday, KSEB disconnected the power supply to Kasaragod RTO's Enforcement office at Karanthakad after the department missed the deadline to pay the bill by three days.
The punitive action disrupted the monitoring of feeds from artificial intelligence (AI) cameras installed by the MVD on the road and rendering of services to the public, said a transport official.
The Enforcement RTO in Kasaragod had accumulated a power bill of Rs 23,000 over the past three months. "We have to pay the bill every month but the department sends funds to clear the power bill only once in three months," he said.
The last date to pay the bill was on June 26 (Monday). After the two-day Bakrid holiday, KSEB officials disconnected the power supply of the Enforcement office on Friday, June 30. "The power is not yet restored because we have not got the money to pay the bill," the official said on Saturday.
The Ayyappan Vs Koshy ego battle was triggered on June 16, when MVD slapped a fine of Rs 20,000 after AI traffic cameras caught a KSEB contractor carrying a long-reach pruner on a jeep at Wayanad's Ambalavayal section. The department slapped another Rs 500 because the jeep driver was not wearing a seat belt. KSEB employs these contractors to lop trees touching power lines.
KSEB retaliated when it disconnected the power supply to MVD's enforcement office at Kalpetta on June 27. The power was restored an hour later after MVD paid the power bill.
An MVD official in Kasaragod said KSEB can pull the plug on any MVD office because there is a delay in the government clearing power bills.
On asked if KSEB could be exempted from traffic violations such as carrying long-reach pruners, he said the violations are caught by the AI cameras and notices for violations are sent without human intervention. "We have given an exemption to ambulances," he said.
Calls made to the minister of transport Antony Raju went unanswered. When contacted, Minister for Electricity K Krishnankutty enquired why MVD was not paying the bills on time. He, however, said there were no ministerial-level talks to resolve the issue. "But I will enquire into it," he said.


Technical Lead Jo Warson tells his story.
"Today, data comes from devices that can measure all sorts of things. We’re even monitoring entire cities!"
I've been working in the IT sector for almost 20 years. Back when I started, the internet was a completely different place. Do you remember dialing into your phone-network to get online, or the dot-com bubble? We have come a long way.
I entered WMW about 9 years ago. The reason I started working at WMW was simple; I wanted to focus on longer lasting work that had long-term impact, instead of one-off projects. I was looking for a mission that I could get involved with right from the start and stay with all the way to the end. The code we write at WMW aids the evolution of the IoT World. We are right on the frontline, doing something that matters.
I started off as a developer, but today I'm WMW’s Technical Lead. My responsibility is to have clear oversight of all the projects we are currently working on. I check what the client needs, who’s going to develop it and I keep an eye on the schedule, to make sure we deliver on time.
Part of my time is spent thinking about how we can handle things in the most efficient way. We receive data from a lot of different types of devices. Then we store it, process it and visualize it. It’s very abstract to think about, so you do really need to take the time to get your head around it. To be honest, I think my mom still doesn't know what my job is, even after explaining it to her for more than 9 years!
I also consider and evaluate what kind of technologies we are going to need. And how we can handle a specific client request in such a way that we can implement pieces of that code into other projects. Or seeing what code we have already created that could be utilised in this project. We're actively building a library of such bits and pieces, which is speeding up our workflow immensely. We have to be super professional about it as well, since our technology is being sold to the biggest players. You certainly need to think of the bigger picture here. To be honest, writing the code is the easy part.
The WMW team is always looking to the future. If you’ve been in the internet game for as long as me, it’s fascinating to see everything evolving around you. Most data used to be generated by website visits, from people searching for stuff online. Today, data is also coming from a lot of devices that can measure all sorts of things. We’re even monitoring entire cities!
We bring that ‘the-future-is-now' mindset to the way we work on projects. Right now, we are working on a project in Zimbabwe, regarding the safety monitoring of transmission towers. In Australia, we are taking data from soil humidity sensors. We know the farmer isn’t going to check that in a complex software system. So, we need to visualize that data in an easy and understandable way on his or her phone. We help customers all around the world to manage and utilise enormous amounts of data. Keeping this whole network running, with millions of connected devices, makes me very proud. I’m not a guy that’s easily impressed, but it’s pretty cool to be able to turn some lights off in Myanmar. I want to show my kids that their dad is busy making cool stuff!
How about you come join our team and build a bright future together with Jo and our team?
Take a look at our current job openings!

TODAY twenty major retailers, including Morrisons, Boots and Costa Coffee, have signed a declaration to develop a roadmap to tackle the causes of climate change.
Led by the British Retail Consortium, the declaration commissions the creation of a roadmap that will provide retailers with the guidance and support necessary to decarbonise.
Peter Andrews, Head of Sustainability Policy at the British Retail Consortium, commented: “Climate change remains one of the biggest threats to the planet.
“As we start to recover from the coronavirus pandemic there is no better opportunity to build a greener, more sustainable world.
“The expectations of society are shifting rapidly. Greater action from businesses is expected. Retail will lead the way.
“Retailers, suppliers and customers all have their part to play in reducing their carbon emissions.
“This roadmap will be the first step towards a better, more sustainable future. It will then be up to wider industry and Government to implement the recommendations it set out.”
Not only are they committed to cutting carbon emissions associated with their shops, distribution centres and logistics, but also, and most importantly, their supply chains and the products people are buying every day.
The research will be conducted by environmental experts and published in the form of a roadmap, along with a wider industry commitment, in the run up to COP26.
The work will build upon the Better Retail Better World campaign whereby retailers reduced their carbon emissions from operations by over one third since 2005.
The open letter states: “We, signatories of the British Retail Consortium’s Climate Statement, believe that climate change is one of the greatest threats to our society and planet.
“Our industry is the largest private sector employer in the UK, our customer base is 67 million people strong, and our supply chains support livelihoods for millions around the world.
“We are already seeing the impact of weather extremes on each of these stakeholders.
“Collectively we have a key part to play in tackling climate change.
“This view is supported by our customer base across the UK, whether they are shopping for bread or books, t-shirts or TVs, sheds or shampoo, or simply buying a cup of coffee.
“This is why we are coming together through the British Retail Consortium to develop a ground-breaking decarbonisation plan that will guide the industry on the steps necessary to accelerate progress towards a Net Zero UK, ahead of the Government’s 2050 target.
“We recognise that as retailers we are uniquely placed to support the UK’s journey to a low
“That is why we are focusing our efforts on three key groups.
“Firstly, we commit to driving forward decarbonisation in our shops, distribution centres and logistics operations, building upon our work over the last decade.
“Second, we commit to driving down emissions in our supply chains.
“And finally, we will help to guide our customers towards dramatically lowering their own carbon footprint, while continuing to deliver an outstanding retail experience. “

Hey, it’s a great song, with a great point!
Spent a good amount of time on this one, I’m really proud of how it turned out, its got a lot of fun, crazy moves that I’ve never used before, but they all turned out surprisingly intuitive in the end.
If you stick with the flow on this one, it won’t let you down, the map is intended to train you early for everything you can expect later with more intensity, it might look unorthodox, but give it a run in practice a few times and trust yourself, it’s kind of like a magic-eye, I’ve always loved it when a map I’m playing does it, so I hope you enjoy experiencing that with this one as well!
Final Tagnotes: This map is meant to guide and punish you, while allowing you a fair amount of time to reposition yourself without failing. It’ll be (hopefully) difficult hitting a score similar to anyone else with multiple areas to challenge yourself with!
As always, feedback is welcomed and appreciated here, on my BeastSaber profile, or directly to me on Discord! Have fun guys!

Well I am sad to realise how long it is since I have put pen to paper metaphorically and written anything on this blog. Lot of good reasons like family weddings and christenings, prolonged tours of Great Britain and various activisms are really not good enough but here is a little catch up of one of our tours with appropriate reading material!
A winter tour of South and West Wales may seem inappropriate to many but sometimes winter excursions are more fun than a warm weather tour. Contrary yes, but despite the warm clothing it is easier to get around what can be in the summer heavily populated tourist spots and one gets to talk to curators, guides, stewards etc who in busier times one is lucky just to spot in passing!
There are lots of brilliant Welsh authors and this blog cannot be about all of them. Additionally, some of the books mentioned are not even by Welsh authors but this is just a 'postcard' from my holiday reading and pilgrimages [that last is a pun which will become obvious shortly...]
We were snowed in for one afternoon and night in the lovely general area of Carmarthen. Luckily we had a bit of warning and although I had packed my kindle and some books I thought I had better buy some more books in the local Waterstones 'just in case' [a readeraholic does not need an excuse to buy more books after all!]
Waterstones have a book club so I stood looking at the display stand and chose a couple of titles. Got back to the warmth of the hotel as the snow began to pile up outside and opened The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. And I honestly didn't stop until I finished it. I grudgingly ate my dinner whilst still reading it and had a few warm drinks absent mindedly. Other Half watched what he liked on TV and had sole use of the laptop in the peace and quiet. A difficult book to describe - certainly a book about one man's road journey which is also about the journey he takes back into his past and to an extent the journey which his wife at home takes along a parallel road into her past. There is a lovely review of the novel and more about Rachel Joyce here
We were staying not far from Dylan Thomas' last home in Laugharne. Despite spending a lot of time over the years in South Wales, I had never managed to get to Laugharne so we braved the snowy conditions to visit the Boathouse on a really cold day. The custodian said we were the first people for two days to arrive and we were able to sit with him and have a great chat -about Dylan Thomas, Bob Dylan and Welshness amongst other things. As I have taught Dylan Thomas I had most of the books on display and for sale but I did buy his daughter Aeronwy's book My Father's Places which is a warts and all picture of her memories of her father, who died when she was only ten. Fascinating read.
Walking around Laugharne [despite the biting cold!] one could imagine the characters and places of Dylan's Under Milk Wood and if it had been warmer maybe I would have posed for some soppy looking pictures pretending to be various characters! However Other Half did catch a quite soulful looking snap of me looking out of Brown's Hotel window - where Dylan Thomas used to drink - although I was drinking hot milk rather than his favourite tipple of beer!

As a county Carmarthenshire of course has its share of great Welsh authors who were born or lived in the county [including Richard Hughes, Raymond Garlick, just to start] Being me, of course, I am going to celebrate an obscure one: Anne Adalisa Evans who wrote under the pen name of Allen Raine.
Very few of her novels are in print, and a few more are available on kindle but if you can access them and are into Victorian fiction with a Welsh style giving a taste of life in the 19th century Welsh countryside and a side swipe of morality this is for you! Knowing that 'Allen Raine' was born in Newcastle Emlyn took us there sightseeing, where we found a charming village and a ruined castle which added to our delight!
When we are on one of our road trips we of course need to stop off at a few historic houses and Dinefwr Park and Castle in Llandeilo could not be passed by. And what was more natural than I should spend some time perusing the bookshelves in the library to see what the toffs were reading in the last century?
Samuel Smiles is of course nowadays mostly remembered for his work Self Help which is so often quoted as epitomising 'Victorian Values' - especially those of the emerging middle class! A link to an etext can be found here. I often used to quote it when lecturing on Victorian Fiction. The book above, Industrial Biography, can be downloaded here if, like me, you are interested in the Industrial Revolution and the men who led it.
Travelling along the M4 to further places in Wales, I had so often glanced longingly at Castell Coch and wished we could stop and visit. A TV programme a few years ago showed some of the brilliant restoration/decoration in the Arts & Crafts style that had been undertaken in the late19th century which had piqued my interest even more. So staying near by meant we could at last make a planned visit to the Castell, now in the guardianship of CADW.
Photo courtesy wikipedia
Castell Coch was one of those places where one wanted to just sit and look! for hours! We are great afficinados of the Arts and Crafts movement so the decorations are just to our taste [although they would look a bit over the top in our suburban house, although I am working on Other Half to finish our hallway in the style of, shown below]
Courtesy Paul Bailey
One of those 'well I never knew that' moments occurred on reading the guide book. I found that that Disraeli had based his novel Lothlair on the then owner of Castell Coch, the Marquess of Bute who was responsible for the renovations and decorations. This is a Disraeli novel which I have never read so again the trusty kindle proved a good friend and I downloaded a copy! A link to an online text of the novel can be found here.

A visit to the villages where my ancestors were born, baptised, married and are buried is always necessary when we are in Wales. And of course we have our favourite pub in one because it supplies such good food. Even our grandchildren know it now and the regulars! It is in the tiny mountain top village of Llangynwyd and has its own literary connections. It was the home to Wil Hopcyn who is said to have written the haunting Welsh folk song Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn about his doomed love affair with the Maid of Cefn Ydfa [Ann Thomas] Both Ann and Wil are buried in the village. The song lives on, is still taught to school children and has been recorded on many Welsh choral records as well as by stars like Tom Jones and bands like Catatonia. A really lovely recording by Mary Hopkins can be heard here. It is one of the songs of my childhood.
Travelling home through the old coal mining valleys of the Rhondda and the Afan always reminds me of the writer who was once so popular but is now also mostly out of print - Jack Jones. The only book that I could find that is still in print on amazon.co.uk was Black Parade . I can remember my mother loving his books in the 1950s and borrowing them again and again from the local library.
One of the books I had packed to read on my travels had been purchased as a result of an earlier road trip when we visited Portmeirion in North Wales. We had never watched the cult 1960s TV series The Prisoner which was set in Portmeirion, but never the less had heard so much about the village that we wanted to visit. In the bookshop there at the time the latest 'Josephine Tey mystery' by Nicola Upson was prominently featured as it is set in the village in the 1930s. It is also surprisingly contemporary in that it features Alfred Hitchcock and Alma Reville - the subjects of the upcoming film Hitchcock [which however is set in the 1950s/60s]
Portmeirion has other literary and artistic links, some of which are discussed here.
There are so many other Welsh authors to whom I haven't paid tribute. So many exciting new authors as well as older ones who stand the test of time. Subject for more blogs - I won't leave it so long next time....

MAGNOLIA in Sag Harbor lives up to its name with a menu of Southern favorites and sunny décor, which includes framed pictures of Southern magnolia blooms.
But where is the warm Southern hospitality? We were greeted by an unsmiling host who waved us to a table. The rest of the staff was equally aloof. Nor was it attentive. The fellow delivering dishes was on target, placing them before the correct diners, but other servers seemed to be on automatic pilot. When the bread basket and olive bowl were empty, they were whisked away, not refilled.
That bread basket held typical Long Island fare: sourdough, pumpernickel and sesame rolls. Where were the Southern biscuits and corn bread? Those looking for a taste of the South will have to order a basket of warm, melt-in-the-mouth hushpuppies and plunk down $5 for them.
Many of the dishes on the menu met our hopes for Southern food. We were taken with the Cajun popcorn shrimp, a big platter of larger-than-expected shrimps in crispy coats. The accompanying cherry tomato aïoli, though, was like no aïoli I've ever encountered. It was not a garlicky mayonnaise but a bland meld of tomatoes and onions.
Sauces also marred two otherwise stellar openers. Lobster fritters were light, crunchy and loaded with shellfish chunks, but their rémoulade was a creamy-white amalgam with no more punch than tartar sauce. Missing was the snap of Creole mustard. That same lackluster mixture cloaked a special of shrimp rémoulade served atop fried green tomatoes. Still, the eight shrimp were firm and fine, the tomatoes blessed with a crunchy coating.Continue reading the main story
Crackly shrimp taquitos had verve, and the miniature lobster roll was generous with its seafood. If lobster gazpacho is offered, give it a try. The chunky cold soup laced with shellfish slivers was a cooling delight. But why was this same soup $7 on a Saturday night and $9 the following Monday?
Pricing was also an issue on the salads. We enjoyed a special of greens highlighted with gobs of goat cheese, mango, papaya, strawberries and a passion-fruit dressing. Still, this saucer-size serving was priced at $12, while the equally good and platter-filling country salad, loaded with bacon, goat cheese and a tasty garlic dressing was $8.
Main courses were a minefield. Skip the shrimp étouffée. Its pallid brown sauce had no taste at all. The disappointed diner who ordered this dish kept mumbling things like ''worst I've ever had.'' Bottles of hot sauce came on the side, but it was too late to resuscitate this loser.
A toss of linguine, shrimp, arugula, hot Italian sausage and olive oil was equally bland. Only when a chunk of sausage was encountered was there any flavor at all.
The buttermilk Southern fried chicken tasted like what mama used to make. The four pieces were a generous portion, but the mashed potatoes were cold and the brown gravy congealed. Cold, too, was the accompanying biscuit. Two jumbo crab cakes, fluffy in texture, were marred by that boring rémoulade.
Dishes that scored 100 percent on the acceptance meter were the fall-from-the-bone baby back ribs with a yummy mustard-bourbon sauce, and a quintet of large sea scallops glazed with a tomato-chive butter. A special of juicy rib-eye steak, piled high with wispy onion rings and dabbed with a mild, creamy horseradish sauce, also hit the mark.
Aside from a nothing-special pecan pie, desserts satisfied. The Key lime pie was tangy; the flourless chocolate cake was soft, rich and creamy; and the crème brûlée had its characteristic crackly topper plus a splash of Grand Marnier. Two specials also made the grade: a smooth chocolate mousse in a chocolate candy shell and a mixed berry shortcake with a buttery, old-fashioned biscuit, whipped cream and a kiwi sauce.
Magnolia automatically adds a 20 percent gratuity to the bills of parties of as small as five. This crew did not deserve a 20 percent tip, let alone one based on a total that included the tax. Additionally, when the credit card slip was returned for signing, the space for a tip is not crossed out (as it should be when it has already been paid) and creatures of habit or the merely distracted might inadvertently add another gratuity.

Fans are getting a peek into the controversial life and career of Tekashi 6ix9ine in the new Hulu documentary 69: The Saga of Danny Hernandez, released on Monday (Nov. 16).
The Vikram Gandhi-directed doc touches on everything from the rapper’s skyrocketed career to his trial in which he infamously testified against Brooklyn gang the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. Gandhi also talks to neighborhood locals who knew Tekashi when he was just Danny.
“All of my films explore identity, specifically the inner life of charismatic figures. I’m fascinated by the difference between the perceived person on the surface and the real person underneath,” Gandhi said in a press statement. “Social media has made this distinction even more profound and no story better conveys this new crisis of the digital self than the short-lived career of Tekashi69. With nearly 15 million Instagram followers, Tekashi69’s digital footprint was a global force. What made him so fascinating were the contradictions built into his very existence: A Mexican kid with facial tattoos and rainbow hair shouting the n-word, flaunting gang affiliation, starting beef, and posting his own violent acts online. When I realized 69 lived near me in Brooklyn—and that I’d frequented the bodega he used to work at—I hit up his manager to talk about making this documentary. I never heard back. A few months later Tekashi69 was arrested on federal charges facing forty-seven years to life. Soon after, he started cooperating with the FBI to convict members of the very gang that had once supported him. ”
“After years of traveling the world as an investigative journalist, I was compelled to explore this true-crime story in my hometown,” he continued. “Retracing the steps of Danny revealed a rare and uniquely-New York saga: On the very same blocks in Brooklyn—where a condo sells for millions of dollars—the shootings, robberies, and kidnapping linked to Tekashi69 were occurring. I strongly believe that the core of documentary filming is access, sitting down with people and really listening to them. As I moved further into the story, I met a motley crew of personalities who were integral to Tekashi69’s development as an artist and celebrity. Danny Hernandez wanted to be famous so badly that he was devoured by his digital avatar, Tekashi69.”
Check out the documentary via Hulu, and watch the new trailer below.
