Situé sur un éperon rocheux au cœur des Alpilles, le Château des Baux offre un panorama exceptionnel sur la Provence. Découvrez le passé tumultueux et chaotique des Seigneurs des Baux et de leur forteresse médiévale.
The site of the Château des Baux, overlooking the village and perched on the top part of the rock, extends over more than seven hectares; it is one of the most extraordinary sites in France and is protected as a national Historic Monument. Visitors can discover the main vestiges of the Château's tumultuous past. A series of 24 illustrations allows visitors to discover the Château as it was in the Middle Ages. The illustrations bring the different parts of the building back to life, just like a large history book. Twenty-seven panels explaining local history and geography punctuate the visitor's route. Viewpoint indicators supplement this information and allow visitors to make out the key sites of Provence and Camargue, this exceptional landscape which unfurls at the foot of the château. Audio-guides tracing the history of the château relate the past of Provence and take you on a journey back to the time of the Knights, rebel lords, wars, tournaments and lonely damsels. Mediaeval music is played under the château vaults and it is possible to hear the voices of the warriors and the laughter of the banquets. These audio-guides are available in six languages (French, English, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Chinese and Portuguese) and are given to each visitor free of charge so they are completely free to move around the château at their own pace. The keep is the most representative vestige of this military architecture. Rooted to the rock since the late 12th century, it seems to be the last rampart of this impregnable fortress. Decorative remains adorn the high walls, with sculpted and decorated bases showing Saint Michael overcoming the dragon and the griffin. The base stone of the keep supports a Gallo-Roman votive stele; the mysterious reliefs of the Trémaïe (or the Three Marys), where the faithful believed they saw the effigies of the Virgin, Mary Jacobe and Mary Salome.

Indian brands lead TWS market — local players record country’s highest ever shipments in Q3 2021
- India’s TWS market witnessed the highest ever shipments in Q3 2021.
- Local brands took up 63% of the total market share thanks to festive sales, and aggressive pricing.
- This quarter also had the most number of TWS launches ever.
AdvertisementThe Indian TWS (True Wireless Stereo) market grew 55% Year-over-Year (YoY) in the quarter ending October with three local players comprising 63% of the total market share. The Indian TWS market also witnessed its highest shipments ever at around 8 million units in Q3 2021 thanks to festive sales and discounts, and entrants in the budget price segments, according to the latest data from Counterpoint Research.
Boat continued to lead the market for the fifth consecutive quarter with a total share of 35.8%. Realme and Noise grabbed the second and third spots with 8.1% and 7.7% shares, respectively. Another Indian company that made it to the top five is Boult Audio which grabbed the fifth spot. This is also the first time that the company took the fifth spot with a 5.3% market share and a 147% YoY growth. In addition to its products being priced at entry-level and mid-range segments, discounts during the Amazon Great Indian Festival also helped the company push its way up.
Brands also pushed local manufacturing as boAt launched its first made-in-India TWS Airdopes 101, and Ptron launched its second TWS Bassbuds Ultima. Noise also partnered with Optiemus and Realme with Khy Electronics to offer more locally produced products, while Ambrane set up a local manufacturing unit.
Counterpoint also highlighted the partner brand or sub-brand strategy of Realme’s Dizo and 1MORE’s Omthing that aggressively launched new products in this segment. This led to the TWS market witnessing the most number of new launches in Q3 2021 in addition to recording the highest ever shipments. Most of the new products were priced below ₹2,999.
In the premium segment (₹5,000 and above), Apple took the first spot with a 64% share, and it’s also the fourth largest brand overall with a 7.6% share. The AirPods 2 were a popular choice among consumers and sales like the Apple Days, Back to School program and the free AirPods with iPhone 12 scheme helped the company’s growth, according to the report.
Joining Apple in the premium segment is Carl Pei’s Nothing that debuted its first product ear (1) in August this year. Nothing managed to take the third spot in the premium segment with a 7% share. Sitting in between Apple and Nothing is Samsung which took the third spot and sales were driven by its existing Galaxy Buds models.

When she was 7, Everley Donovan witnessed the murder of her entire family. She was rescued from the same fate by her Uncle Holden, a clockmaker, who buys her more time by making her a clock heart.
Now 17, Everley hungers for revenge; when Gov. Killian Markham—the man who murdered her family in cold blood—walks into her uncle’s clock shop one day, she knows she must seize the moment. Everley slips out of the house later that night and challenges Harlow, a streetwalker, to a duel in exchange for information about Markham’s whereabouts. When her plan goes awry and they get arrested, however, Everley rejects the opportunity to evade punishment, lies about her identity, and gets sentenced to seven years in a penal colony. Everley is shackled aboard a ship to the accursed Dagger Island alongside other female convicts—part of achieving her goal of avenging her family’s deaths. Almost all the characters are white. King’s (The Warrior Queen, 2018, etc.) innovative plot and complex storyline are unfortunately hampered by characters who lack depth and development; Everley, in particular, displays a blank personality, and, as a result, the relationships between characters seem forced.
Despite its flaws, readers who enjoy plot-driven narratives will eagerly look forward to the second book in the series.(Fantasy. 13-18)

ay in and day out, teachers see the needs ofstudents. They understand what works and whatdoesn’t work, they celebrate success whenstudents achieve, and they work hard to find better wayswhen students struggle.Studies have repeatedly shown that teachers are tremendously important to student achievement.
Theyhave also found that when a student has an ineffective teacher, achievement suffers dramatically.
States across the nation, including Ohio, are starting torecognize the high price that is paid when we ignore theresearch, compromise our standards, and don’t insist that every student be taught by an effective teacher. It isfor this reason that Ohio enacted legislation in 2011 toimprove and strengthen the state’s teacher evaluationprocess and requirements. Ohio’s current teacherevaluations are not differentiating sufficiently betweeneffective and ineffective teachers. High percentages of teachers receive excellent ratings, despite wide variancein student learning. Ohio wants to stay competitive withother states, like Florida, that are implementing rigorous teacher evaluation systems based on demonstratedimprovements in student learning, and getting positiveresults.
The map on page 2 shows those states thatare working to improve teacher evaluation and tyingevaluation, in part, to student academic achievement.For too long, evaluation systems have treated all teachers the same when, in fact, they are not.
Ensuring that everychild has an effective teacher is a bipartisan issue. On manyoccasions, President Obama has made the case that ournation must focus on ensuring that there is an effective teacher in every classroom. He has called for radical changesaying, “We’ve got to be able to identify teachers who aredoing well. And, ultimately, if some teachers aren’t doing agood job, they’ve got to go.”
Similarly, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has made astrong case for an improved system that identifies andrewards effective teachers.He said, “It is time torecognize and reward ourbest teachers, support those in the middle, andalso acknowledge that teaching may not be thebest career choice for asmall minority of teacherswho continue to struggledespite support andmentorship. Teaching is nota job for everyone.”
Governor John Kasich iscommitted to the successof every student, and to theimportance of hearing the perspective of teachers asOhio works to build an outstanding P-16 educationsystem. He was emphatic in the spring of 2011, whenhe said, “I want to hear from those teachers who want abetter way and who have ideas for how to get us there. Ilook forward to working with them to create a betterway.”In response to this call, Robert Sommers, Director of theGovernor’s Office of 21st Century Education, and SarahDove, Ohio’s Teacher Liaison,assembled a steeringcommittee consisting of across-section of teachersrepresenting schools andeducators across the state.This steering committeeprovided valuable guidance andleadership to the process ofsoliciting and analyzing teacherinput. Dr. Sommers and Mrs.Dove conducted 19 meetingsacross the state. They reviewed the many letters and emailsresponding to the governor’scall. More than 1,400 teachersoffered their input.

Last month, Solutia successfully raised $200 million in notes due in 2009 that will pay holders a hefty 13.5%. And it secured $600 million in credit from its bankers.
But, although Solutia has finally completed financial arrangements to satisfy current obligations, questions linger over its long-term ability to pay should it be held responsible in current and pending lawsuits stemming from a former polychlorinated biphenyl plant in Anniston, Ala.
Chief Financial Officer Robert A. Clausen admits that todays economic climate has made this [refinancing] challenging. It has been especially challenging given Solutias PCB obligations, which were one reason why, early last month, credit ratings agency Fitch lowered ratings on some of Solutias secured bank debt from a fairly weak credit risk to a significantly weak risk.
When Solutia was spun off from Monsanto in 1997, it indemnified Monsantotook on its financial responsibilityfor costs associated with the PCB plant that Monsanto operated in Anniston until 1971. However, if Solutia is unable to pay, Monsanto and Pharmaciawhich bought the old Monsanto two years agowould be on the hook to pay PCB-related costs.
Now, the planned spin-off of Monsanto to shareholders on Aug. 13 and Pfizers pending acquisition of Pharmacia complicate matters. Pfizer is reluctant to admit that it could take on Pharmacias PCB liabilities if Monsanto were unable to pay. The new Monsanto has indemnified Pharmacia for any PCB-related costs should Solutia be unable to pay. But because Pharmacia bought the old Monsanto, legally, Pharmacia is Monsanto, Clausen says. And should Pfizer succeed in buying Pharmacia, all liabilities go to the new Pfizer.


Four temporary waiting sheds are to be constructed on the Aristo-Thampanoor-Overbridge stretch for commuters waiting to board the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) and other buses that arrive at the Central bus station at Thampanoor.
A meeting chaired by V. Sivankutty, MLA, here on Saturday decided to construct the four waiting sheds in view of the problems faced by the commuters following the demolition of the bus shelters and a building at the Central bus station for construction of a modern bus terminal.
The existing bus shelters near the RMS on the Thampanoor-Overbridge stretch will be integrated and converted into one that is more spacious. The second waiting shed will come up near Hotel Chaithram, the third one near the Thampanoor police station on the road leading from Thampanoor to Aristo junction and the fourth one near the earlier KSRTC building.
It was decided that the waiting sheds will be completed before May 24. A review meeting has been convened on April 24 and the work on the sheds will begin that day after completing all the formalities.
The KSRTC will depute officials at all the waiting sheds for the benefit of the commuters. Huge display boards indicating the destinations to where the buses will ply will be installed at the sheds. A public address system will also be installed so that the arrival and departure of the buses can be heard in all the four sheds.
Tubelights will be installed in the sheds by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) and the City Corporation to light them up at night and check the activities of anti-social elements.
Display boards indicating the waiting sheds and the destinations to where the buses will ply will be installed at the Ponnara Sreedhar Park facing the railway station to help those getting down at the Thiruvananthapuram Central station to board buses.
Councillors; Assistant Commissioner, Fort, B. Varghese; officials of the KSRTC, the KSEB, the city Corporation, the Public Works Department, Kerala Transport Development Finance Corporation Ltd. that is constructing the terminal complex and representatives of political parties and residents associations' in the area participated.

Of all the food groups, seafood is perhaps one of the most nutritious for all age groups. Excellent for everyone, from pregnant mothers to young children and senior adults, seafood benefits you at all stages of life. In fact, many nutritionists agree that seafood is hands-down the most important thing to add to your diet if you want to boost your health. Here are just 3 reasons why it’s a great idea.
Reduces Symptoms of Depression
Depression is common amongst Americans. Luckily, seafood offers a healthy, natural way to reduce depressive symptoms. This is because seafood is anti-inflammatory and promotes serotonin production and absorption. In fact, studies show that people who regularly eat fish and seafood are 20 percent less likely than their peers to experience depressive symptoms. While you should always consult the expert advice of a physician when managing depression, eating fish is a great way to complement treatment.
Decreases Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia
Mental clarity is known to decrease as you age. While you can’t entirely prevent ailments such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, you can decrease their risk by upping your seafood intake. Fatty fish increases EPA and DHA levels in the blood, which are necessary to cognition. Even better, you don’t have to eat seafood multiple times per week to feel the effects. You can reduce your risk with just one seafood meal per week, according to health experts.
Protects Your Heart
You might shrug off heart health but considering that one American dies every 36 seconds from cardiovascular disease, protecting your heart is one of the best things you can do for your health. Eat seafood two times a week, and you’ll reduce your risk of death from any health-related cause by 17 percent, and heart disease by 36 percent. Eating more nutrient-dense seafood is also a great way to reduce inflammation and improve triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
No matter your lifestyle, Oxford at Crossroads Centre Apartments in Waxahachie, Texas goes out of our way to provide our residents with a unique selection of in-home activities and information that better their physical and mental health.

Eventful night of international action for Canaries players
- Credit: PA
There were six Norwich City players starting for their countries this evening ahead of Saturday’s trip to Arsenal when Premier League action resumes.
The evening began with Max Aarons earning his 12th cap for the England Under-21s in his home town of Milton Keynes, as Kosovo provided the opposition at Stadium MK as the Young Lions began their 2023 European U21 Championship qualification campaign.
The right-back played all of the 2-0 win and picked out Rhian Brewster with a pass early in the game, with the Sheffield United striker brought down by the Kosovo keeper to win a penalty, which Brewster converted emphatically.
It was World Cup qualification action at senior level, with a first international start for young defender Andrew Omobamidele as Ireland entertained Serbia, with Adam Idah retaining his starting role.
A bizarre own goal late in the game saw Ireland snatch a 1-1 draw but qualification remains highly unlikely, with Idah playing 78 minutes and Omobamidele playing the full game.
It was a good result, against the team ranked 29th in the world, but nearly became a win as Omobamidele unleashed an unexpected long-range shot in injury-time but his effort was turned behind.
Scotland gave their hopes of at least qualifying for the play-offs a huge boost with a 1-0 win in Austria, which both Grant Hanley and Billy Gilmour started.
- 1 Derby County struggles vindicate Norwich approach for Farke
- 2 PRESSER: Everton v City - Rashica a doubt; Normann and Sargent fit
- 3 Iwan Roberts: Don't blame formations for Norwich City's poor form
- 4 Honesty is the best policy for City, according to ex-Canaries winger
- 5 So where's Norwich City's next point coming from?
- 6 'There's more to come' - Gilmour reflects on start to life at Norwich
- 7 Farke reveals Tzolis' 'punishment' for penalty gaffe
- 8 Farke on why three could be the magic number for City
- 9 City star pencils in Anthony Joshua night out after Everton clash
- 10 The record-setting day Norwich made the Toffees come unstuck
Hanley will be suspended for the crunch clash with third-placed Israel in Glasgow next month though after picking up a second yellow card of the qualification campaign, with Gilmour taken off in the 88th minute.
Teemu Pukki played the full game in Lyon as Finland lost 2-0 to world champions France, missing a big late chance to pull a goal back.
Tin Krul and Ozan Kabak were substitutes in Amsterdam as the Netherlands thrashed Turkey 6-1, with Kabak brought on at half-time with the Turks already losing 3-0 and down to 10 men.
Mathias Normann was an unused substitute as Norway eased to a 5-1 home victory over Gibraltar, to remain level on points with the Netherlands at the top of Group G.
Daniel Barden also earned his second Wales U21 cap, during a European qualifier in Bulgaria, keeping a clean sheet in a 4-0 win. The keeper is on loan at Livingston.
Meanwhile, reports in Greece say Christos Tzolis has recovered from his calf problem and has trained fully ahead of Wednesday night's home clash with Sweden, with City team-mate Dimitris Giannoulis also in the squad.
Milot Rashica and Kosovo are preparing to host Spain and the final Canaries player in World Cup qualification action is set to be striker Josh Sargent, with the USA in Honduras at 3.05am UK time on Thursday.

JBS SA acquires Frinal
Feb. 12, 2014
by Meat&Poultry Staff
SÁO PAULO, Brazil – JBS SA is set to expand its poultry operations with the purchase of Frinal, a poultry processor based in Garibaldi, Rio Grande do Sul state, according to news reports. Details of the transaction were not disclosed.
Frinal employs more than 1,200 workers and processes 120,000 birds per day. The company has been a player in the Brazilian poultry industry for 40 years offering cuts of chilled and frozen chicken.
Sáo Paulo-based JBS, already the world's largest meat processor, has claimed the top spot in poultry production through acquisitions. In September, JBS acquired Seara Brasil, a poultry processor once owned by Marfrig Alimentos in September 2013. The Seara Brasil transaction allowed JBS to surpass Springdale, Ark.-based Tyson Foods Inc. as the top poultry producer globally.

Would he retire if forced to stand for the anthem?
On Thursday, an NFL wide receiver made headlines with his response to a question on Twitter.
The NFL is set to meet next week to discuss alternatives to players protesting during the national anthem.
Rishard Matthews, a Tennessee Titans wide receiver, responded to a tweet asking him about his stance on the national anthem and the NFL's upcoming meeting to discuss protests during the anthem.
Here's what Matthews had to say.
Matthews has protested during the playing of the national anthem, but his perspective is an interesting one.
Both his father and half-brother served in the military. His half-brother died during a plane crash in 2015 while serving as a private defense contractor in Afghanistan.


Norwegian duo, KREAM, releases new single for Big Beat Records following success of “Another Life”
As the tropical house revolution continues to dominate the EDM pop scene, Norwegian duo, KREAM, looks to capitalize on the trend with their latest single, “Taped Up Heart,” featuring Clara Mae. With a medium tempo reggaeton beat and a vocal chop hook, this laid-back track is very reminiscent of other recently popular records, namely Major Lazer’s “Lean On,” Drake’s “Controlla,” and Justin Bieber’s “Sorry.” Although “Taped Up Heart” may not be groundbreaking in style, make no mistake, this is a very well produced track that will have no trouble finding an audience.
Clara Mae’s silky smooth vocals are catchy as hell and will have this song stuck in your head after the very first listen. It’s the production of her voice, however, that takes this track to the next level; the vocal layering and overdubbing fills up the arrangement beautifully, while the vocal chopping in the hook is flawless.
These brothers from Bergen have already demonstrated some very high quality production in their most recent releases for Big Beat Records, earning millions of streams on SoundCloud for tracks like “Love You More,” “Another Life ft. Mark Ansari,” and their remix of Tove Lo’s “Talking Body.” “Taped Up Heart” moves away from their discography of mostly deep house tracks; the single is refreshing for KREAM fans and demonstrates the duo’s versatility. It will be interesting to see what Daniel and Markus Slettebakken have in store for us as they continue to develop their skills. There’s no doubt that they’ll be looking to follow in the footsteps of fellow Norwegian, Kygo, as they try to become a major player in the EDM scene.

There is a scene in Showtime’s new docudrama Uber: The Battle for Super PumpsTravis Kalanick, the Uber founder and co-founder is trying to convince Mark Cuban to invest in his startup soon to be famous. It’s 2010, a year before the app’s public launch, and the Dallas Mavericks owner is skeptical.
“I am not gonna invest in a company where you have to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to do tens of millions of dollars in revenue,” Cuban tells the younger entrepreneur, shutting down Kalanick’s hyperactive sales pitch with his own no-nonsense, alpha-male energy. Furious at the rejection, Kalanick warns his would-be benefactor that if he turns down the opportunity to invest in Uber now, he’ll never get another one. Cuban passes
Some version of this exchange did take place during Uber’s infancy; by 2014, Cuban was looking back on the decision as “probably my biggest mistake [in] investing.” But it’s hard to tell just how true the scene is to what actually happened. In a casting choice that’s reflective of Super Pumped‘s metafictional style, Kalanick, like most of the characters, is portrayed by an actor—Joseph Gordon-Levitt, going all-out in every take—while Cuban appears as himself.
Due to an increase in production of docudramas (many of which feature larger-than life newsmakers), this blurring between fact and fiction has become endemic on television. With Super Pumped (premiering Feb. 27), 2022 has already brought ABC’s civil rights drama Women of the Movement, Hulu’s sex-tape saga Pam & Tommy, and Shonda Rhimes‘ Netflix miniseries on the rise and fall of “Soho Grifter” Anna Delvey, Anna Invented. Hulu will unveil Elizabeth Holmes’ portrait soon DropoutPeacocks are also released on March 3rd. Tiger King retelling Joe vs. Carole. Before the spring is out, we’ll also have docudramas on WeWork (Apple’s WeCrashed), the ’80s Lakers (HBO’s Win Time), killer Pam Hupp (NBC’s Pam’s Best Thing), Michelle Carter’s texting-suicide case (Hulu’s Plainville Girl), Watergate (Starz’s GaslitThe making of The Godfather (Get the DealParamount+
As tends to be the case in the current, streaming-driven era of rampant programming overlap that I’ve been calling peak redundancy, there are too many of these shows, covering too many of the same subjects: tech, scammers, crime, sexual politics. With effects-heavy franchises starting to crowd out realism on the small screen, as they’ve already done in movies, docudrama has become the genre of choice for platforms looking to combine the character-driven storytelling of prestige TV with enough brand recognition to guarantee an audience. It’s a shrewd choice, financially. The returns on creativity are already declining. Docudramas are a threat to blur the line between fact and fiction at a moment when misinformation is rife.
The prototypical TV docudrama is a salacious, slapdash affair—a ’90s Lifetime movie, maybe, about a famous woman’s scandalous life. Ryan Murphy‘s FX anthology American Crime Story renovated that down-market model in 2016, with a debut season adapted from Jeffrey Toobin’s The Run of His Live: The People v. O.J. Simpson. The show was telegraphed as prestige despite its controversial subject. As the anchors, you can name actors like Sterling K. Brown Jr., Nathan Lane and John Travolta. The cast was not content with reenacting the media chaos surrounding the O.J. trial, AACSThe episode was then reexamined by a team of progressive analysts that considered gender, race, tabloid culture, as well as the impact on maligned characters like Marcia Clarke and Christopher Darden. It was an instant hit with viewers and received nine Emmys.
Murphy has been embracing the docudrama since then. AACSThe cultural retrospective on famous names such as Monica Lewinsky, Halston and others will be updated. In almost every case, the megaproducer had to continue casting the best actors, rely on nonfiction books as source material and view the past with a revisionist eye. This formula—which arrived on time for an industry-wide shift toward the miniseries, an ideal format for true stories with defined endings—proliferated from cable to broadcast, but especially among the warring platforms of streaming.
Six years on, docudrama is still a common phenomenon. Even NBC’s stodgy Law & OrderThe company launched its true-crime series, which featured a Season on Menendez brothers featuring Edie Falco. It’s a good idea, right? Docudramas attract A-list actors. Michelle Williams, in Fosse/VerdonEwan McGregor HalstonThe Emmys are now as easy as the Oscars to portray a person who has an amazing story. The more popular a topic is, the easier it will be to put a show about it. What’s likely to draw a bigger audience—a great series about a fictional tech startup or an OK one about an app used by millions of people around the world every day?
I don’t mean to imply that all, or even most, docudramas are cynical branding exercises. There have been some great ones in recent years, from HBO’s devastating Chernobyl to Netflix’s We are there for themAva DuVernay created the film and a group of young talented actors retold the Central Park Five’s story. Mrs. America, FX’s look back at ’70s feminism and its discontents, used its all-star ensemble (with big names like Rose Byrne, Uzo Aduba, and Tracey Ullman supporting a mesmerizing turn from Cate Blanchett as Phyllis Schlafly) as far more than a gimmick.
These outstanding stories have provided a fresh perspective that can only be found in fiction on historic and contemporary events. Whether it’s The People v. O.J. Simpson spending a full episode on what it felt like to be Clark, a public servant who became a tabloid punch line overnight, or Netflix’s Unbelievable weighing the impact of a botched rape investigation on a teenage victim fresh out of foster care, these shows draw out human elements of stories that viewers previously couldn’t or didn’t want to acknowledge. These shows also connect to our lives and how society works in the current. It is too quirky for a masterwork. Anna Invented at least builds a provocative argument about the title character—that she was more failed hero than sociopathic villain—while putting wealth and the transactional nature of so many interpersonal relationships under a microscope.
Yet for each docudrama with something to say, there are several more (see: Showtime’s The Comey Rule, Hulu’s Dopesick, Netflix’s The Serpent, Bravo’s Dirty John() That function as audiovisual Wikipedia Pages, heavy on statistics and names but sparsely written. Other examples include Pam & TommyTheir attempts to socially conscious revism are so jumbled that, after about six to eight episodes, the show abruptly ends without reaching a conclusion. And the few that aren’t indifferent to style can be astoundingly derivative. Super PumpedBro-critical humor and entertainment for bros is what this blog does. It owes a lot to Aaron Sorkin and Adam McKay.
One could say that the docudramas are educating viewers on current events and historical developments. The thing is, most just rehash stories that have already been widely consumed in a different format—or three. The Dropout, based on a podcast and notable for Amanda Seyfried’s sensitive portrayal of Holmes’ strangeness, follows a best-selling book, John Carreyrou’s Bad bloodThe buzzy HBO document, and the relating doc. The InventorApple developing feature film adaptations of Bad bloodJennifer Lawrence, McKay. (Then again, The DropoutIt seems so necessary in comparison to Joe vs. CaroleThis is the re-telling of a series that was originally made to laugh at strange tiger people.
Despite performances that can be thrilling to watch, in 2022, docudramas’ overlap with nonfiction storytelling poses a more troubling threat than mere redundancy. Misinformation is a growing problem on TV, as well as our podcast and social media queues. Anna Invented obliquely acknowledges this, opening episodes with a disclaimer: “This whole story is completely true. Except for all the parts that are totally made up.” The tone might be cheeky, but the transparency is refreshing.
It would be unfair and detrimental for television as an art medium to expect scripted TV shows to adhere to truth. The blurring of fact and fiction seems to be a constant challenge for our understanding of real events. However, docudramas are still being produced. Who among us hasn’t cited a tidbit about the British royals, only to realize it came straight from The Crown? How can fiction alter our reality perception? And I don’t just mean hams.

A lot of thought should be given when purchasing your kids desk furniture. The needs of the student, space availability, safety requirements, design of the desk and your current budget are all important aspects that should be considered before purchasing the desk furniture. First and foremost think of the comfort of the child because if he does not feel comfortable at his desk, he will not want to sit there for a long time to do his studies.It should also give him good posture so that the kid does not have to slouch or fidget in his chair.
One unique aspect about student desks are that they come in a variety of colors and can even incorporate characters into the desk. Pricier options made out of solid oak or other fine woods are also available. More affordable options include plastic and particle board desks. Kids desks can look clean and modern, mimicking adult desks or function as whimsical or fun.
If you are going to include your child in the selection of her lamp, do a bit of pre-shopping. Lamp choices can be daunting to an adult, but they be overwhelming to a child, whether the child is 5 or 15. Over and over again, we have watched moms lead their under-10 year old child to our stores "Kids" section, ask the child which lamp he likes, then try to talk the child out of his selection, because it does not fit the space or decor of the room.

If your child ends up sprawled on the floor, as one of our always did, try to make sure THAT spot is within a good pool of light, whether from a nearby table lamp or a floor lamp. The light provided by ceiling fixtures, track or can lights just is not enough for reading. Since the distance from the table or floor lamp, to the floor where your child is, is greater than from a desk or table, the nearby lamp should have at LEAST a 100watt bulb.
Children furniture stores offer a vast selection of kid-sized tables and chairs for different needs. If you are redecorating your childs room, you can choose the right table to fit in, but select a kids desk that can withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. When children begin to explore the world around them, they take on new activities, especially when they start school. A kids desk where they can do their schoolwork and a child-sized computer table will set them up in the right direction.

I’m thankful that my circumstances allow me to be a stay-at-home mom, and because Germany makes it quite easy, most of the mothers I know are in the same situation. And apart from me, all of them put their children into day care several times a week to have time for themselves.
I do sometimes feel like I’d like some time for myself, but it’s not really a pressing need. Many moms say it’s so their kids get socialized, but I don’t find my son lacking in social skills. He’s a very friendly, very outgoing, almost 2 year old (a very typical Leo). The other moms in my local mother-toddler group have given me the name and number of the woman who runs the local day care. They tell me that it’s important that Oliver get contact with other kids, but he gets along fine with all the kids in the group and with all the children of my friends. I’ve even been told it’s not healthy for us to be together so much, but I haven’t seen any signs of it.
Can we really be too attached?
I look at history, and think that for most of history, in most human groups, children stayed with their mother continuously through early childhood. There was no day care, there wasn’t the idea that the child needed time apart from the parent. I also look at myself and my child. I don’t feel the need for time apart, so why do people want to pressure me into it? Oliver, while independent, also prefers to have one-on-one time with his caretakers. Something he won’t get in a day care situation.
My gut tells me I’m doing the right thing, and I’m a strong believer in listening to your instincts. So what do I tell the naysayers?

hi, has anyone here offered up a new type t120/t100 motor to an early 70's t120 frame (oif or pre oif) .. i have my reasons (& a cunning plan)
want to build a sidecar bike ..... you can buy writeoffs here (aus) for cheap & i have a t150 frame (with sidecar lugs)The biggest issue when fitting a wet sump Japanese engine into a British bike frame is usually the sump width
I'd expect it to be the same with a modern triumph engine plus the engine drives to the opposite side of the back wheel
Absolutely anything is doable,it's only metal!!
Why do you want to do it ?

Don’t get an Experian or ClearScore statement rather – of many pay check loan providers avoid those individuals.

Daring private moon lander ran out of fuel before crash
A Japanese company’s spacecraft ran out of fuel as it attempted a soft landing on the moon Tuesday, causing an abrupt end to its five-month journey from launch pad to the lunar surface.
As the lander descended, mission control had communication with it. But after the maneuvers were complete, the team lost contact. About a half-hour after the event, with a room full of visibly disappointed engineers, ispace CEO Takeshi Hakamada said they had to assume the landing was unsuccessful, but they would continue to investigate the status of the lander.
UPDATE: Apr. 27, 2023, 9:37 a.m. EDT Ispace lost contact with the spacecraft immediately after its scheduled landing. Hours after the event, company officials confirmed that a review of data indicated their lander must have crashed.
Following a review of the flight data, ispace says the data points to a “hard landing” — aeronautics-speak for a crash. During its final approach, the lander was vertical, but the team found the lander had consumed all of its fuel prior to touching down. The fuel is needed to fire thrusters to slow during descent. While on empty, the lander’s speed increased as it traveled toward the surface.
The company, ispace, invited the world to watch alongside its Tokyo-based mission control through a livestream of the nail-biting space event on April 25. The landing sequence lasted about an hour as the robotic spacecraft performed a braking engine burn and followed automated commands to adjust the Hakuto-R lander’s orientation and speed to touch down.
Ispace officials said they’re proud of what the mission achieved and that the flight data during the landing phase will help them prepare for their next two lunar missions.
Though 60 years have passed since the first uncrewed moon landings, it remains a daunting task, with less than half of missions succeeding. Unlike on Earth, the moon’s atmosphere is very thin, providing virtually no drag to slow a spacecraft down as it approaches the ground. Moreover, there is no GPS system on the moon to help guide a craft to its landing spot. Engineers have to compensate for these shortcomings from 239,000 miles away.
“We cannot emulate all the environment of the moon on the Earth before the mission,” Hakamada told Mashable in an interview after the event. “So we have to rely on all the simulations and then a lot of assumptions.”

This is not the first time the private sector has attempted to get to the moon. For example, in 2019 an Israeli nonprofit and company collaborated on the $100 million Beresheet mission, which crashed on the lunar surface after an orientation component failed. The mishap potentially scattered some intriguing artifacts on the lunar surface in the process.
For one of ispace’s payload customers, the failed landing means an indefinite postponement of another dream: the first Arab moon mission. The ispace lander was supposed to deliver the United Arab Emirates’ Rashid rover to the moon, which would explore the Atlas Crater. Along with the Emirati rover, a Japanese space program robot was on board.
Hamdan bin Mohammed, the crown prince of Dubai, said in Arabic on Twitter that the space program would be working on a new rover for a new attempt to reach the moon.
“We have had the honor of trying to reach a new point in the history of the UAE,” he said, according to a Google translation of the statement, “and we have the honor of raising our ambitions so that space, its planets and its stars will be its ceiling.”
Hakuto-R was the first of many other commercial missions expected to attempt this feat soon, many of which are an outgrowth of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services Program. The program was established in 2018 to recruit the private sector to help deliver cargo to the moon. Ispace couldn’t directly participate in the NASA program because it isn’t an American company, but it is collaborating on one of the contracts led by Draper Technologies in Massachusetts, expected to land on the moon in 2025.
These upcoming missions will support the U.S. space agency’s lunar ambitions, shipping supplies and experiments to the surface ahead of astronauts’ arrival in 2025 or later. They’re also supposed to kickstart a future cislunar economy, referring to the business potential of ventures on and around the moon.
“The environment has changed since I established this company 13 years ago,” Hakamada said. “This is a great market opportunity for a company like us.”
The executive said he wasn’t deterred by the uncertain outcome of the company’s first attempted landing. The data will help the business prepare for its next two upcoming missions, he said.
And he had no regrets about allowing the general public to watch the attempt in real time.
“We tried to be transparent to the world. That will, we believe, (help us) gain more trust in our business and technology,” Hakamada said. “Many people will be given the impression that this is real, and this will pave the way for the greater development of the cislunar ecosystem.”
Which will be the first to make the journey intact? The commercial race is on, with many more opportunities approaching.
“History can be made only by those who (face) challenges, and challenges will not be possible without taking a risk,” said Yuichi Tsuda, a professor of astronautical science at Tokyo University, during the live broadcast. “The risk can be taken only by those who dream. So ispace teams, you are all excellent dreamers.”
This story was originally published on Tuesday, April 25, 2023. It has been updated to include the status report on the lander and an interview with CEO Takeshi Hakamada, along with other reactions.


Few days ago, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry of India announced the 65th National Awards and many South Indian films, actors and filmmakers won the awards in various categories. Films like Baahubali, Take Off, Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, Kaatru Veliyidai and many other films won the National Awards in various categories much to the joy of South Indian movie lovers. However, the winners of the National Awards were in for a shock after they were notified just a day before receiving the award that the Honourable President of India, Ramnath Kovind, will hand over the awards to only 11 out of the 160 winners and not everyone. This came as a shocker to the winners and showing their disappointment, many winners including Fahadh Faasil, Parvathy and KJ Yesudas wrote to the I&B Ministry about this in a letter which was also copied to The President of India office.

However, much to their disappointment, nothing was heard back from the Ministry and the awards ceremony continued as notified by the authorities and the President handed over the awards to the select recipients out of all the winners. Protesting this ill treatment by the authorities, many winners including actors Fahadh Faasil and Parvathy gave a skip to the awards ceremony and returned back from Delhi where the awards ceremony took place. The issue has now become a huge row and many acclaimed filmmakers and industry experts are lashing out at authorities for the disparity in handing over the National Awards to the winners. However, there is not much clarity on why the President’s office decided to choose only select winners and not everyone to receive the award from.

— Anita Joshua (@anitajoshua) May 3, 2018
Earlier, all the winners signed a letter jointly which was sent to the Information and Broadcast Ministry in which they mentioned that they felt disappointed on losing the opportunity of once in lifetime of receiving an award from the Honourable President. “We as film makers and artists put in all that we have and tenaciously stick to our dreams in a field of work where appreciation does not come easy. We are disheartened to know that we will be deprived of the honour of this appreciation of a once in a lifetime moment and pride and glory that the National Film Awards had promised us,” the letter read which was written to the I&B Minsitry.


President Joe Biden has approved an emergency declaration after Hurricane Fiona hit Puerto Rico’s south-west coast.
The island of 3.3 million people has been left without electricity, which could take days to restore according to LUMA energy and the Puerto Rico power authority.
The National Hurricane Centre (NHC) said the hurricane is a Category 1, adding that flooding and landslides are on the way too.
“These rains will produce life-threatening and catastrophic flash flooding and urban flooding across Puerto Rico and the eastern Dominican Republic, along with mudslides and landslides in the areas of higher terrain,” they said.
Flights have been cancelled, and ports have been closed on the island. More than 100 shelters have been opened across Puerto Rico as the rain and wind persist.
The NHC warns that 30-40cm of rain could be on the way, with some parts expected to see up to 63cm of rain.
Hurricane Fiona comes five years after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, which has left the island’s power grid in a fragile state ever since.

Downside trade in Weight Watchers
David Russell | [email protected]
The weight-loss company has burned investors several times in the last year, gapping violently lower after three of its last four earnings reports. The main problem has been weak attendance at its meetings.
optionMONSTER's Depth Charge monitoring system detected the purchase of 2,240 May 42.50 puts, most of which priced for $2.65. Volume was more than 5 times higher than the previous open interest at the strike, indicating that new positions were initiated.
Puts lock in the price where investors can sell shares, which gives them a strong inverse correlation to the stock. If it falls just 10 percent to $38, they stand to earn a profit of more than 60 percent. (See our Education section for more on how bulls and bears can harness the leveraging potential of options.)
WTW rose 0.5 percent to $42.38 yesterday but has lost more than 40 percent of its value in the last year. The shares are now close to a key level that's been support several times since 2005, which could be leading some chart watchers to expect a major collapse if it gives way.
Overall option volume was 7 times greater than average in the session, with puts accounting for more than 80 percent of the total.

LOS ANGELES – A fire that erupted overnight in the Sylmar area of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles burned an unknown number of homes and prompted the evacuation of thousands of people.
The fire had burned at least 2,600 acres by dawn and local television showed home after home ablaze through a thick canopy of brown and black smoke.
Major freeways, including Interstate 5, the primary north-south artery in the state, were closed because of their proximity to the smoke and flame. About 10,000 people have been evacuated.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power reported power failures throughout the Valley and said they would continue as the fire destroyed transformers and damaged power lines.
Capt. Steve Ruda of the Los Angeles Fire Department sought to calm people at an evacuation center, telling them more emergency crews were on their way and firefighting helicopters could soon begin a larger assault as the sun rose.
“As dawn breaks, that’s a good thing,’’ he said. “Our choppers can be more aggressive.”
Winds gusts were clocked at 70 miles an hour and were expected to blow strong through the early afternoon.

Brokers such as free stock-trading pioneer Robinhood are restricting trades in GameStop and other names engaged in a squall of activity that has alarmed Wall Street and caused big losses for hedge fund short sellers.
In some cases, investors can only sell their stock and options positions but not open new ones.
Rookie retail investors in Reddit chat rooms are trying to stick it to Wall Street pros, CNBC reported. They are piling into names heavily shorted by hedge funds and squeezing stocks higher as institutions rush to cover their losses in what some say is pushback against the Wall Street establishment.
After successfully squeezing hedge fund managers out of GameStop, empowered Reddit investors this week set their sights on other highly shorted companies.
Shares of GameStop skyrocketed more than 400 percent this week and 1,750 percent this year thanks to their activity. Shares of AMC Entertainment are up nearly 300 percent this week. American Airlines rose as much as 33 percent today in the short-squeeze rally.
Robinhood pioneered free trading, forcing the entire brokerage industry to drop commissions in 2019, CNBC reported. The Silicon-Valley startup made a name for itself promising to democratize investing for everyone and more than 13 million users believed it.
“We continuously monitor the markets and make changes where necessary. In light of recent volatility, we are restricting transactions for certain securities to position closing only, including $AMC, $BB, $BBBY, $EXPR, $GME, $KOSS, $NAKD and $NOK. We also raised margin requirements for certain securities,” Robinhood said in a statement.

Listen to GHOGH with Jamarlin Martin | Episode 73: Jamarlin Martin Jamarlin makes the case for why this is a multi-factor rebellion vs. just protests about George Floyd. He discusses the Democratic Party’s sneaky relationship with the police in cities and states under Dem control, and why Joe Biden is a cop and the Steve Jobs of mass incarceration.
David Portnoy, internet celebrity blogger and founder of the blog Barstool Sports, tweeted his outrage over Robinhood’s move. “Robinhood’s ‘entire business model is to cater to the exact people they are now trying to fuck with and scare into selling. They will never recover from this”, Portnoy predicted.
“Either @RobinhoodApp allows free trading or it’s the end of Robinhood. Period.” Portnoy added, “And it turns out @RobinhoodApp is the biggest frauds of them all. ‘Democratizing finance for all’ except when we manipulate the market cause too many ordinary people are getting rich.”
Portnoy continued, “Somebody is going to have to explain to me in what world [Robinhood] and others literally trying to force a crash by closing the open market is fair? They should all be in jail.”
Another Twitter user called for a class-action lawsuit against Robinhood. “Robinhood canceled stock orders on #gme #amc #NOK etc…. There should be a class action lawsuit. I thought we had a free market. So Wall Street is OK with me losing hundreds of dollars, so that rich investors can’t be called out on their risks…. #wallstreetbets”.
TD Ameritrade imposed unprecedented restrictions on trading in GME, AMC and other huge short squeezes on Wednesday and Charles Schwab raised margin requirements.
Interactive Brokers also put option trading into liquidation for some companies and blamed market volatility. “As of midday yesterday, (1/27/2021) Interactive Brokers has put AMC, BB, EXPR, GME, and KOSS option trading into liquidation only due to the extraordinary volatility in the markets. In addition, long stock positions will require 100% margin and short stock positions will require 300% margin until further notice,” IB told CNBC. “We do not believe this situation will subside until the exchanges and regulators halt or put certain symbols into liquidation only. We will continue to monitor market conditions and may add or remove symbols as may be warranted.”

28 August 2014
The world of work and the world of spiritual development can have little to do with one another. Work involves deadlines, challenge, pressure, politics, and sometimes boredom and frustration – the demands of the outer world. Spirituality involves spaciousness, stillness, joy, compassion, and sometimes facing difficult emotions and regrets – the call of the inner world.
How might we bring these two different worlds together so they support each other and are mutually beneficial?
First, I need to define what I mean by spirituality. Becoming more aware of who we are lies at the heart of the spiritual journey. We have all these ideas as to who we think we are, and we go and live our lives based on these ideas. But what if our ideas were just that? Just ideas, largely picked up from other people. And we go through life collecting these opinions, living on the basis of them, and believing them to be true. At the centre of the spiritual journey is the questioning of our assumption that we know who we are and what the world is about, and learning to trust our experience with an open heart and mind. This lies at the heart of meditation and contemplation. It enables us to deeply connect with each other and our environment, which in turn feeds our spiritual selves.
This ability to deeply connect has also been called our inherent ‘systemic intelligence.’ Albert Einstein put it very well: “A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe.’ However we experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of our consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. "
What I am very interested in is how could our work, an activity we spend so much of our time involved in, be a method for this questioning of assumptions and movement into our systemic intelligence? What would work look like that placed this as a core reason for its existence? What would the behaviours be? What would the work environment look like? If work were not just about creating wealth for workers, owners and shareholders, not just about creating benefit for society and the environment, but above all about creating a culture which facilitated our movement towards waking up, what would this sort of work look like?
For me, an organisation like this would:
- have a culture that valued and enabled stopping – stopping to think, to reflect, to discuss, to re-focus, to let go of the past, to welcome in the future. It would be a culture of mindfulness.
- have a culture that valued and enabled the heart as much as the intellect. There would not be fear of including discussion of feelings – positive and negative. Honest expressions of gratitude, kindness and compassion would be valued. Expressions of fear, uncertainty and anger would be heard and held compassionately – feelings that require skilful attention and care.
- have a culture where our understanding of our deep interconnectedness with all things is acknowledged, valued, and encouraged. It would be understood that awareness of ourselves as part of the whole, as much as that can be achieved, is where real wisdom in decision making is to be found. Individual differences and difference of opinion would be welcomed as part of a systemic process of decision making.
- acknowledge that we often get caught in a smaller, contracted self – and so there would be practical way for encouraging self-responsibility, conflict resolution, and an openness in heart and mind.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on how work and the spiritual journey might support each other.
Thank you, Stephen

Gran Turismo official steering wheel
The Gran Turismo official steering wheels (such as the GT FORCE or Driving Force, see the trademark symbols difference) are a series of steering wheels designed by Logitech (a.k.a. Logicool in Japan) in collaboration with Polyphony Digital. These racing games controllers are designed to be used with the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 systems but later models can be used on PC as well due to their USB connection. The GT Force is the central part of a driving simulation cockpit installation. Official kits are co-designed and released in Japan by Logicool and Sparco (distributed by import tuner Endless in North America), while compatible kits are designed and released worldwide by European manufacturers such as Playseat® and MoveTech.

The original GT Force first came out in Japan and South East Asia in 2001. It was later released in North America and Europe. The brand soon evolved to "Driving Force" in these Logitech distributed territories. Code product is "LPRC" for Logicool PlayStation Racing Controller.
In 2007, the GT Force line-up was made of three wheels, the entry-level GT Force RX replacing the discontinued Driving Force type (79.99 USD/EUR), the medium-level GT Force Pro (129.98 USD/EUR) and the G25 Racing Wheel which replaced the first as the top level (299.99 USD/EUR).
Both are compatible with PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC systems and are supported by Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.
GT Force for Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec (LPRC-10001)
A "GT Force for Gran Turismo 2000" (Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec, LPRC-10001) was scheduled for 2001, however due to a game title change it was replaced by the "GT Force Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec" custom version released on April 28, 2001.
GT Force Initial D version (LPRC-10002)
The Driving Force is the first evolution of the GT Force announced at the London Games Convention in early September 2001. This model is discontinued since it was replaced by the Driving Force Pro in 2003.
Driving Force Pro
GT Force Pro for Sega Rally (LPRC-11000S)
GT Force Pro (LPRC-11500)
Manufactured by Logitech for the PlayStation 2 primarily as well as being compatible with select PC games, the wheel featured force feedback and 900 degree rotation. The wheel offers analogue accelerator and brake pedals, a sequential gear shift to the side and paddle shifters mounted on the back of the wheel in addition to the standard PlayStation 2 buttons. The controller was jointly designed by Logitech and Polyphony Digital to be used with Gran Turismo 4, however works in games not compatible with the 900 degree rotation by switching into a 200 degree mode. The wheel received strong praise from reviewers at launch for being an overall good experience when paired with Gran Turismo 4.
The Logitech website  lists PlayStation 3 under System Requirements, indicating it is supported. 900° support will be software dependent.
Driving Force EX
The Driving Force EX (also known as the GT Force RX (LPRC-12000) or Driving Force RX (Retail Version)) is the PlayStation 3 official wheel released on the console's launch date, November 11, 2006. It features force feedback and was succeeded by Driving Force GT. The wheel came bundled with Formula One Championship Edition.
Driving Force GT
The Driving Force GT was released on December 13, 2007.
Developed in conjunction with Polyphony Digital, first introduced at the 2007 Tokyo Game Show and intended for use with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Gran Turismo 5 and all PlayStation 3 auto racing games, the Driving Force GT is the fifth entry in the company's Driving Force series of game controllers.
G25 Racing Wheel
The G25 Racing Wheel (LPRC-13000) was unveiled on October 25, 2007 and released on December 13, 2007. It currently has no matching official racing cockpit available. It's not an official GT steering wheel but is fully compatible and after some updates, officially supported in GT5 and GT6.
G27 Racing Wheel
The G27 Racing Wheel is based upon the previous G25, with some new features. Like the G25, the G27 is also not an official GT steering wheel but is fully compatible and after some updates, officially supported in GT5 and GT6.
G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel
The G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel is based upon the G27 and the Driving Force GT and it is compatible with the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PC. It was released in 2015 to replace the G27. Like the G27, it is also not an official Gran Turismo steering wheel. However it is supported in Gran Turismo's latest installment, Gran Turismo Sport.

Happy Saturday! Wow, it's been a whole week since I posted anything and that long since I did any crafting. The new year is proving to be a tad bit too busy! Anyway, I am late posting this for the CPS challenge tonight, but I am submitting it anyway. Took me a bit to get my bearings after a week away from the crafting table. And, when I finished with this card, I realized I used the same colors as the last card I posted! Oh well, everything just fell into place tonight so that's OK.
Again, I needed a masculine card. I am beginning to think there are too many men in my family! hahaha I AM joking! The snowboard digital stamp was great and I kept thinking of what else to do for a male teen birthday card and I was looking at birthday stamps and BAM! Icing is like snow......so why not have the snowboarder 'snowboard' over the frosting of a cupcake. So, I printed the cupcake on four different colors of cardstock, then pieced it all together and coordinated them with some of the paper strips behind the images.
Stamps: Happy Birthday, Inkadinkadoo; Snowboarder digital stamp from Bird's Cards; cupcake digital stamp, Lindsay's Stamp Stuff.
Paper: DP, Making Memories 'Just Chillin'; orange textured cardstock, Bazzill; chocolate, light blue and white cardstock.
Ink: Staz On Timber Brown
Extras: Number punches; turquoise star brads; orange brads; oval metal frame.
I have LOADS of cards to do in the next few days as I did not get my Christmas cards finished and so they are becoming New Year's/Winter Blessings/Valentine cards. There is always a way to improvise.
More to come...

Tommy Hilfiger landed in London with a bang on Monday morning, in a day that took him from breakfast at the private members’ club 5 Hertford Street and the presentation of Goodwood Sports & Racing by Belstaff, to a cocktail party at Number 10 Downing Street, the British prime minister’s residence.
In between, Hilfiger unveiled the revamped and expanded Tommy Hilfiger Tailored, a collection loaded with color and attitude. Formerly under license with Holy Fashion Group but now in-house, Tailored features day, evening, work and weekend wear, in addition to a full range of quilted or leather outerwear with detachable linings, and accessories. RELATED STORY: London Men's Shows Finding Their Footing >>
Suits range in price from 400 euros, or $524 at current exchange, to 700 euros, or $917, the more expensive of which feature fabrics from mills including Ermenegildo Zegna and Loro Piana. During an exclusive walk-through at the brand’s London showroom, Hilfiger said that he and the team started with one question in mind: “What do we want to wear? Everybody’s a bit tired of navy, gray, black and brown, and we wanted to have some fun and we wanted to be different,” he said, adding that he’s cut the jackets shorter and made the trousers slimmer than in the past.
The palette pops in shades of bright blue or forest green for corduroy trousers; eggplant for velveteen peak-lapel jackets, and red, white and blue in American flag-inspired prints for blazer linings. There are cream-colored dinner jackets and burgundy corduroy suits, tartan tuxedos with black satin lapels and green smoking jackets. Hilfiger said color is a major, evolving story for the brand, with chinos in bright hues selling faster than ever before. “Colored bottoms — red in particular — are flying off the shelves,” said the designer.
Hilfiger’s day ended at a party to fete the new collection, with guests including the stars of the “Doctor Who” and “Sherlock Holmes” TV shows. Matt Smith, the actor behind the ultrasuccessful, time-traveling TV doctor, and Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Holmes, joined fellow actors, including Riz Ahmed and Kayvan Novak, at The Zetter Townhouse in Clerkenwell.
And while his year may have begun on a professionally hectic note, Hilfiger’s top 2013 resolution has nothing do with work. “I always want more time with my family,” he said.

Spotted last night at the @erdem x @hm launch event: Kate Bosworth, Rashida Jones, Kirsten Dunst and Selma Blair. The party, which took place in LA, also marked the opening of their pop-up shop. “I was interested in creating a collection that wasn’t in any way disposable. It was about pieces you’d create and keep forever, things that have a permanence to it,” designer Erdem Moralioglu said. #wwdeye (📷: Katie Jones)

Dior’s 70th anniversary celebration continues with a new exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. “Christian Dior,” which is scheduled to run through March 18, takes a look at the founders tenure from 1947 to 1057 and feature 40 designs.

As one of the most recognizable models in the world, Christy Turlington Burns has an insider’s view of the fashion industry and the allegations of sexual harassment swirling around it. “I can say that harassment and mistreatment have always been widely known and tolerated in the industry. The industry is surrounded by predators who thrive on the constant rejection and loneliness so many of us have experiences at some point in our careers,” Turlington told WWD, along with her suggestions for how the modeling world should protect younger women and men.

@asics America has tapped a new brand ambassador: famed DJ/record producer @steveaoki. This initiative is intended to set the tone for the new brand identity and philosophy and will include partnerships with influencers and in-store and off-line activations that will continue into next year. This is Asics’ most significant marketing effort in two decades, and is expected to attract younger consumers to the brand. #wwdfashion
24-year-old Jean Prounis is redefining the rules of jewelry. Formerly a studio assistant to Jemima Kirke and a design apprentice at Ghuran, she focuses on handcrafted subtleties and ancient goldsmithing techniques. “There was a really sterile feel in the environment and I wanted to have jewelry with character that shapes how you wear it everyday,” Prounis said. Each piece is hand made in New York, either by Prounis or three other jewelers in the district. #wwdfashion
“These collections continue to build on that vision, empowering differently abled adults to express themselves through fashion,” said @tommyhilfiger of his line of adaptive apparel, which launches today. The line consists of 37 men’s and 34 women’s styles based upon the pieces from the spring Tommy Hilfiger sportswear collection. #wwdnews
