A cheese grater is a tool that is used to grate or shred cheese. It is a handheld tool that consists of a handle and a grating surface. The grating surface is usually made of metal, but can also be made of plastic.
The cheese grater is used to grate or shred cheese into small pieces. It is a convenient tool that can be used to prepare cheese for cooking or for eating.
The Zyliss Classic Cheese Grater is designed to grate more cheese in less time, while being more comfortable to use. It’s even certified for restaurant use, making it one of the most trusted and reliable graters available.
The Zyliss Classic Rotary Cheese Grater includes a fine drum, perfect for grating hard cheeses like Parmesan, chocolate, nuts and more. The drum and handle separate easy for quick cleaning.
Purchased this grater about 4 months ago. We use it for good quality Parmesan cheese, for use both on the finished pasta, and adding into sauces and recipes. The unit is sturdily built, and both my wife and I find it comfortable to hold and crank.
It produces finely shredded Parmesan, which we prefer on our pasta, and to cook with. If you want a coarse or medium texture, this isn’t the grater you want. For the cost, I think the product is of higher quality and sturdiness than I expected.
We usually store it in the refrigerator loaded with some cheese, in a zip top bag in the refrigerator, but have washed it in the top rack of the dishwasher at least half a dozen times, with great results.
I would suggest this grater to friends and relatives.
This grater is easy to use, and with a harder cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano is why we bought it) the cheese comes out in a soft, beautiful, almost powdery form. And it’s able to be disassembled for cleaning.
This is the “restaurant quality” grater from Zeiss. There are two types, and both are priced similarly. It’s a quality product, perfect for use in our home. There won’t be any turning back to regular, grocery store, pre-grated Parmigiano.
It’s too easy now to grind “the perfect food”, and the taste is truly the difference.
This is the perfect tool which allows for grating a small amount of parmesan (or any other hard cheese) without accidentally slicing a finger or having the flakes fly everywhere. After using the planer and box graters, it’s so nice to have the control this grater allows.
The box grater keeps the grated cheese within a confined area, but is hard to get clean. Using the dishwasher often left small microscopic smears in some areas. The single-plane grater is easier to wash, but not good for small chunks of cheese.
Moreover, the plane-grater can leave a bit of a mess for grating over a dish. The parts easily come apart for cleaning.
The stylish Navetta Cheese Grater was created by designers Daniels and Erdwiens for the design company, Blomus. Traditionally, the centrepieces in most kitchens have been fridges, tables, cookers and worktops.
The rest of the kitchen essentials usually come in drab designs that only serve their functional purpose. The Navetta Cheese Grater goes against the norm by pioneering the start of efficient design in small kitchen accessories.
The highly stylish cheese grater serves its functional purpose as it does its decorative one. It is a high-quality stylistic centre that combines style and efficiency in an elegant ergonomic design. One of the immediately apparent features of the Navetta Cheese Grater is its dynamic organic form.
It has a harmoniously rounded collecting body and rubbing surface which allows the user to effortlessly grate and collect cheese. The grater’s collecting body is large enough to hold cheese for several people.
Quality is not compromised in the construction of this stylish cheese grater, which is made of polished stainless steel and resistant plastic for durability and easy cleaning. Measuring 19. 5 x 10. 0 x 7.
0 cm, this cheese grater makes a stunning accent piece for your kitchen.
Designed by Maestro Richard Sapper, who in his own home was in charge of grating cheese for the whole family. “Todo” has a truncated cone shaft that is exceptionally long and will grate enough cheese to satisfy the requirements for one portion just with one complete stroke.
Beautiful in the kitchen and on the table. 4″ x 4″ x 18″ Steel and wood construction.
This was the 3rd Todo Grater that I have bought as a gift, I will probably need to buy 2 more plus another for myself ! I think that it is the most amazing piece of very stylish dining equipment and it works well too ! I can’t show you a photo since I have already given the grater as a present.
I would like to add that Nordic Nest are excellent !.
Like all Alessi products, this cheese grater is stylish and quirky, but absolutely practical at the same time. Great Italian style! The service, price and delivery from Peters of Kensington remains always top notch.
As with most of my Alessi Products, this was one was also purchased to look good in the kitchen. It does this very well and I would award it full marks. However, if you are buying this as a useful working utensil, I would think very carefully.
It sure looks pretty but that is about it and as that was why I purchased it, I have no complaints.
Experience the pleasure of Cuisipros razor sharp etched graters with exclusive Surface Glide Technology. This is a special grooved grating surface, exclusive to Cuisipro, that creates the perfect balance between ease of grating and maximum effciency for an outstanding grating performance.
The science behind Surface Glide Technology is based on the repeated grooved pattern that is spread evenly accross the face of the grating surface. First, the grooves reduce resistance, making it easier to grate food.
Second, the grooves elongate the length of each individual blade, so a larger cutting surface comes in contact with food, and more food is grated with each stroke. The parmesan rasp is perfect for garnishing with parmesan, other hard cheeses and chocolate.
The ergonomic grip handle and non-slip end provide stability and safety while grating. The protective plastic cover doubles as a measuring device. For best results, wash rasp by hand.
I haven’t used a rasp/grater like this before and decided that this particular model with a section that held onto the “filings” seemed like a fabulous idea, and it is. Lovely Parmesan cheese that doesn’t fly everywhere over my work-top, lime rind that stays where it should and is easily poured from its holder – it’s just perfect – why didn’t I buy one years ago? Love it and I highly recommend this particular brand because of its handy cover that reverses and catches all the grindings.
I was very impressed with the ergonomic fit of this tool. It is also very sharp! The plastic part isn’t just a guard, it also serves as a built-in measuring device for zest. Highly recommended; I like it much better than the Pampered Chef one it replaced!.
Grate and shred cheese easily with American Metalcraft’s Hand-Crank Cheese Grater. Made of stainless steel for years of everyday use, this professional-grade rotary grater makes it easier, safer, and quicker to grate and shred cheese.
Perfect for any home or kitchen, this rotary grater features one cylinder and single coarseness for grating. With this grater, more cheese can be grated faster than a traditional manual dome or plank grater, both of which are often time consuming and can be dangerous.
This rotary grater is also easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Each order contains one cheese greater measuring 8. 625 L x 3. 625 W x 2. 875 H. With 70 years of service, American Metalcraft is a leader in the foodservice industry for trend-focused and unique products.
Works OK, but badly executed. The handle press is too far from the grater and a large chunk of cheese does not get grated. The strength of the metal over the plastic unit is worth the higher price, but I wish it was designed better.
I have a similar galvanized unit that I inherited from my maternal grandmother that is so much better, except for the galvanized steel instead of stainless. So maybe my expectations regarding this greater were too high.
But I do not see why modern design and manufacturing methods cannot at least match a similar product from 70 years ago.
definitely feel this is more for home-use than for commercial use. while it does a pretty good job grating the cheese, it only does so for a fairly narrow range of sizes of pieces of cheese, and since it leaves a small piece ungrated, every time it has to be re-loaded there is a bit more waste.
that’s fine at home, where you can eat the tasty chunk left over with a sip of wine, but no good for controlling food costs in a restaurant kitchen. also, the hand you hold the grater with ends up getting in the way of the crank handle coming around, so using it for more than a few minutes on a given night is an exercise in frustration.
I’d give it another star — or maybe even two — if it this were a home kitchen website, but for preofessional use it just doesn’t cut it for me.
This great hand held stainless steel grater is wonderful. It’s easy to use and makes grating cheese effortless. It’s perfect for grating cheese right at the table, over individual plates or dishes, or for using in the kitchen.
It also disassembles easily for easy cleaning. I love this grater.

Made of 100% polyester. Additional features of this outdoor chair cushion include rounded corners, 14″ ties to secure the cushion to your furniture and recycled polyester fiber with a sewn seam closure.
Positive: (the points are listed in no particular order of preference) 1. Easy to take apart for cleaning, and easy to reassemble. 2. It grates cheese quickly and finely, so when I don’t wish to use a microplane because grating a substantial amount of cheese takes much longer on the microplane, The Zyliss is my favorite for larger batches of cheese.
The Zyliss classic cheese grater won’t make the fine shavings of a fine microplane, but the resulting grated cheese is fine enough for easily melting on pasta, sauces, salads, anything. 3. The Zyliss Classic Cheese grater looks simple, but is built like a tank.
I had mine for 15 years and it somehow disappeared out of the cupboard where I stored it and I haven’t found it since. I have waited for it to turn up, but have come to the conclusion it was snatched or accidentally thrown out.
I can’t imagine it being accidentally thrown out. Someone probably walked off with it. I’m thrilled to have one again.
Very sharp cutting wheel, I like better the straight strinigs of cheese the older model produced as opposed to the curly strings this one makes but it is much easier to grate with this new one. The sharper blades require much less pressure (squeeze) on the handle and the wheel is not as hard to turn while cutting, that will hopefully help with the only problem the older grater had which is that the clip that locks the handle in place is somewhat easy to break because of the amount of pressure needed for grating.
Overall I like this grater much better than any other I ever tried (even the old model) and I have tried many.
I was looking for an inexpensive tool to grate frozen butter for baking. This Zyliss All-Cheese grate has fulfilled my need. It is a nice compact kitchen tool that easily grates frozen butter without grating your own fingers.
I let the frozen butter sit out for just a few minutes to make grating easilier.
Whether sprinkling fresh Parmesan over pasta or dusting grated chocolate over a fancy dessert, this easy rotary cheese grater works quickly and easily. The versatile cheese grinder is perfect for grating hard cheeses, chocolate, nuts, vegetables garlic and more.
The stainless steel grating drum accommodates all textures and sizes for quick, easy food prep, then easily removes for cleaning. Stainless steel construction assures lasting durability; dishwasher safe.
I only use this tool for parmesan cheese and it works great. You need to be gentle using it. Don’t put the cheese rind in it. As for other cheeses, why not use a standard hand grater as other cheeses are easier to grate but parmesan needs a special tool.
Also, when cleaning after use, let the grater dry out overnight to make cleaning easier.
Cheese Grater, countertop, electric, manual feed, safety microswitch, ironed steel grating drum, stainless steel basin & hopper, 1 HP, 110v/60/1-ph, QPS approved, made in Italy These models allow for easy grating of hard cheese and stale breads.
Designed to be suitable for small to medium applications. Features ironed steel drums, stainless steel basins and hoppers.
So far I am impressed with this cheese grater, I have only used it a couple of times, and it did a great job grating some hard cheese like Parmescan,RomanoPecorino and GranPadano. The only drawback it’s a little hard to clean.
Also they should given you the Allen key to remove the stuffing box which holds the cheese. It’s a 5ml Allen key.
Really like this cheese grater! We have had for a couple of years now and it’s been a wonderful tool for an Italian kitchen! We grate Romano Pecorino and Parmigiana Reggiano with ease! We have had to change the fuse twice but no other issues.
They do not make things like they used to but this machine does work. I had a different brand from 1970s-1980s so I thought this would be a nice upgrade with it being 1. 5 HP. Let’s just say that I’m going to be rebuilding my old machine.
Anyway, about this model. Lots of metal pieces for the first 30-50 lbs of cheese you grate. VERY loud noises come from it. It does not take much for it to seize.
A cheese grater with a Chef’n spin on things. Our take on a classic tool, the Chef’n Rotary Grater is designed to let you keep an eye on what you’re grating, and it comes apart for easy cleaning too.
This clever rotary grater has a spring-loaded chamber, so you don’t have to push as you grate. The re-imagined hand grater has open sides that let you see how much you’re grating. Just turn the geared handle with the easy-to-grip knob, for fast and comfortable grating directly over dishes.
The high-quality cutting blade is durable and non-absorbent, with rust-resistant teeth that stay sharp. The perfect addition to every cheese lover’s kitchen. Pieces come apart for easy cleaning. Hand wash recommended for blade.
Choose smart, easy-to-use kitchen utensils that are built on tasteful design, new technologies, and the trusted reputation of Chef’n.
I’ve always liked in a restaurant when they grate the parmesan over your pasta dish. I truly have a hard time staying stop. Now with the chef’n Rotary Grater, I can grate hard cheeses to my hearts desire at home.
My husband wanted to give it the first try and since we didn’t have a hard parmesan, we instead tried a sharp cheddar. It was easy to load, our chunk of cheese fit and easily closed in the spring-loaded chamber.
It cranked easily, because the handle is geared. You can see it grate as you crank the handle and know exactly how much you have. It all came apart easily in order to wash everything. They do recommend hand washing the blade, but I think I would hand wash all of it.
What I was most impressed by is that it fully grated all the cheese we had inserted into the machine. All that was left was a small sliver at the end. Overall, we both liked this product and think we will buy more hard cheeses to grate fresh on our dishes.
I was gifted this product, so I could give an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed herein are my own and not influenced by the company.
No squeezing handles to make this handy grater work! Once loaded, the spring applies all the pressure and you focus where you want to place perfectly grated cheese. Only bummer is that it is NOT dishwasher safe; got to clean it by hand.
I was gifted this product so I could give an honest review.
This is a fantastic little cheese grater! It is easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to find a place to store it. That’s really all I have to say about it. It’s great. I was given this product in exchange for my honest review.

Reviews From Real Customers
This is an excellent cheese grater because you can use it for really hard cheeses as well as softer ones. Most of the other graters available will only work on hard cheeses. And I also chose it because it is made by Zyliss.
I saw this in an equipment review and ordered it based on their opinions. Wow, am I glad that I did! It’s hopper is a good size and each revolution grates loads of cheese. I really like the multiple blades that come with it for using on different cheeses.
The Parmesan Grater makes fine fluffy piles of even the hardest cheeses, terrific for making a fast melting powder for pastas and sauces. All Microplane 45000 Gourmet Series graters are dishwasher-safe, featuring all stainless steel frame and blade construction, non-slip rubber feet and red, ergonomic, soft touch handle for a more comfortable, sure grip.
To say this is sharp is an understatement. I?ve used many graters in the past, and never once have I used one as sharp as this; so sharp in fact, that it sliced the tip of my finger off during my first usage.
I was not ready for how efficient it was going to be so I would not recommend this for anyone who either is not a 100% professional using a grater or, even professionals, I would say to get a pair of cut resistent gloves to be safe.
This is a tool where if a mistake is made, it will be a PAINFUL one, unlike a cheaper, less sharp grater that would just leave more of a scrape than a gash. Overall it?s a well built, good quality grater that will not fall apart with usage.
It cuts through hard produce like butter and just bites away at food so quickly. I just have to take a star away because the sharpness almost makes the tool dangerous for the lack of extra precaution on the device.
Moral of the story, sharpest does not always equal better, but if you want an amazingly built grater and have cut resistent gloves, I would say this is the perfect tool.
I have several of this brand graters. The plastic edged ones seem to fail fairly quickly (in a couple years). I got the full metal set as a gift from my husband. I have been using these over the holidays and they are much more robust than the plastic edged ones I have been using.
I find the slide to be sub par in quality and function. It doesn’t run along the grater smoothly. I doubt that will be used. I find the long stick zester to be easier to use than the zester included in this set for doing lemons and limes.
This grater was purchased to replace a similar coarse grater (also Microplane) that had a PLASTIC FRAME. One of the first times I used the first one, the frame easily snapped. It remained 1/2 functional because of the stiffness of the blade, but would easily bend when grating Parmesan Cheese.
The only reason to produce a grater with a plastic frame would be to sell more graters: cheap/easy to make. I spent about $12. 99 for the first one and only about $3. 00 more for the metal frame one.
The blades are identical. The Professional Series is difficult to find either because Food Services buy them all or Microplane doesn’t want to sell a product that will last.
Easily And Safely Grate Cheese With This Home Basics Rotary Cheese Grater. Made Of Heavy Duty Plastic, It Features Stainless Steel Blades To Grate And Shred Hard Cheeses, Chocolates, And More. Designed For Both Left And Right Handed Use.
Parmenide Parmesan Cheese Grater by Alessi The grater Parmenide designed by Alejandro Ruiz brings two aspects of the traditional household scene together: the cheese grater and the serving bowl. Parmenide also becomes an attractive piece of tableware once the cheese has been grated.
In the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 6″ x 3″ x 2. 75″h Plastic and steel construction. The Alessi Cheese collection is available here. The Alessi brand is available here.
I bought this as the JL version wasn’t in stock. It is gorgeous and no doubt much nicer than the basics first. Super sturdy plastic and efficient grater. One small point though, you can’t use it to store the cheese once grated so loses a star for practicality.
An elegantly simple way to grate and serve Parmesan that works really well, no downsides and expect this to last for many years. Note that the black body is very slightly translucent, it looks a solid black in the online photos.
The Alessi cheese grater is quite small compared to other products and therefore fits very well in the hand. The grated cheese always ends up in the drip tray. A very nice product. But what the product pictures do not show – the shell is partially transparent.
Call it the jack of all trades, this all-in one, multi-sided cheese grater offers 4 grating surfaces to make creating the perfect texture for your recipe much more easier. The four blades include: course, slice, medium, and fine, all of which measure 6 inches long.
The larger grater holes are razor sharp and make quick work for shredding large potatoes to make hash browns, with the finer grater holes great for more precise tasks like zesting lemons. The rubber footing is an added plus as it keeps it from sliding around or scratching the counter while in use.
After reading the review about the top coming out, I tried to pull the top off of my cheese grater. It is impossible to do so. The person obviously got a defective model and should return it. At $7. 00 this is a good value for the money.
After using the grater for several months, my only complaint is that the wide side with the largest holes has become a little concave in its center. That barely deteriorates its performance. The rubber on the bottom is also a bit loose and does catch a little cheese in it.
I was under the impression you could get 2 graters, but other then that it is great. My husband is an awesome cook and he had to use this plastic grater for years that he had to put over a bowl and grind as hard as he could.
He’d be sweating and his arm would ache afterwards and he hated it. Now though it’s a breeze and he even grated an entire block of cheese so he wouldn’t have to worry about doing it later. He never could do that with the plastic one.
The quality was much better than I expected, especially for the low price. Very well made with a comfortable handle and a vinyl/rubber type non-slip base. It lost only 1 star but that was for the ad’s photo.
I did not think I would get TWO as the photo shows, but the word ‘assortment’ might fool some customers. (I might have missed a color choice- my fault if that is the case) No matter what: Just one grater, for that quality , and price, was VERY good!.
Cheese Grater, countertop, electric, manual feed, ironed steel grating drum, stainless steel basin & hopper, 1. 5 HP, 110v/60/1-ph, QPS approved, made in Italy These models allow for easy grating of hard cheese and stale breads.
Designed to be suitable for small to medium applications. Features ironed steel drums, stainless steel basins and hoppers.
Looks great, excellent for parmesan and hard cheeses. Messy with regular cheddar. Cleaning is inconvenient, one either needs a stiff brush, or take it apart with Allen keys which are not supplied. The exit under the grater plugs up with ground cheese, and cleaning that is very hard to do.
The Home Series is a refreshed and popular paddle-shaped, hand-held graters with an updated handle design that provides greater comfort, stability and durability. The handle design combines a comfortable, soft touch material with an overlay of stronger, molded plastic with subtle ribbing for a more secure grip.
All Microplane Home Series graters offer a broad grating surface for more room to efficiently get the job done and feature razor-sharp surgical-grade stainless steel blades. Use a coarse grater for carrots, garlic, ginger, onions, coconut, chocolate, and hard cheeses.
The results will be small gratings. Aroma and taste are guaranteed. Available in black and red colour. Globally recognized, Microplane is the original manufacturer to apply photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process specifically designed to create ultra-sharp cutting edges.
The blade ensures that food does not stick or block, but instead gently slides along the cutting surface to produce perfect results every time.
I bought for a friend who had yet to discover the precision and ease Microplane products makes of getting a culinary job done. Since receiving, my friend has made a point of using this grater over previous methods.
It is especially wonderful for hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano, nutmeg, ginger, and garlic.
This device grates ginger perfectly. My wife has grated ginger every morning, and this grater halves the time it takes to grate enough, and requires far less effort than our old one. Thoroughly recommend.
Too large for my hand, so it’s harder to use than it should be. The grating surface is much bigger than necessary because all the fruits I’m grating with it are round, so most of the surface area is unused.
I only bought it out of desperation because I can’t find the product I actually want.
The Rigamonti Cheese Grater includes a drum and rotary grater and a solid body to ensure it will last for years. Preparing sauces and grating cheese for salads or to melt as toppings is no longer a hassle with the Rotary Cheese grinder.
It is a great gift idea for hostesses or housewarmings, as well as for use in your own kitchen. Made in Italy.

Really good cheese grater. Every slicer blade works perfect. The handle tho seems to be loose. If i end up losing the handle the grater would still work but I’d have to hold it by the sides which i do not look forward to when the time comes, so i suggest you treat it with love when holding the handle so it doesn’t come off too soon.
However if it does break off, it can be fixed with a good glue because cheap glue is what seems to be holding it in place anyways.

4 famous intellectual property cases
When you create a billion dollar product and are ready to take it to market, you need to be prepared for the expensive intellectual property disputes that individuals, companies, and even macaque monkeys, can find themselves embroiled in!
Here are four of the most famous and significant intellectual property disputes between world-renowned company brands, and, yes - even a macaque monkey.
1. A&M Record Inc. vs. Napster Inc.
If you’ve never heard of Napster Inc., that’s because the free peer-to-peer music file-sharing company no longer exists. In 2000, A&M Record Inc. and superstars including Dr. Dre and Metallica, won lawsuits against Napster. They claimed that Napster’s software - which allowed twenty million users to freely share MP3 files of their favourite music online - constituted copyright infringement.
This case set a precedent in 21st century copyright law regarding the impact of peer-to-peer file sharing on the earnings of the creators and owners of original music.
2. Louis Vuitton Malletier vs. Haute Diggity Dog
In 2007, the high-end signature hand-bag and luggage maker, Louis Vuitton Malletier, lost an outrageous copyright infringement case against Haute Diggity Dog, a fashion company known for its range of humorous products.
The comedy designers had released a line of parody products named Chewy Vuitton, to go along with other memorable knock-offs such as Chewnel No.5 and Sniffany & Co.
Remarkably, the U.S Court of Appeals ruled against the claim of copyright breach, stating that because of the element of parody, the products were adequately differentiated and unique, thereby negating any copyright or trademark infringement.
3. Mattel Inc. vs. MGA Entertainment Inc.
Mattel Inc., creators of the Barbie doll, won a huge case against rival toy doll maker, MGA Entertainment Inc. back in 2008. MGA’s claim posited that Mattel had copied the design of their latest range of Bratz dolls in order to steal back the significant market share MGA had succeeded in acquiring. The designs were simply too similar, featuring disproportionately large heads and slim bodies.
However, lawyers working on Mattel’s behalf managed to turn the case around, proving that an ex-Mattel designer who had subsequently worked on the design team for MGA had used designs that he had created while employed at Mattel. In fact, those doll designs were still the legal property of Mattel. MGA was ordered to pay damages to the tune of $100,000,000 and temporarily remove their dolls from shelves.
It just goes to show, instigating an intellectual property claim can end up being an expensive miscalculation.
4. Naruto the Macaque vs. Slater
Due to the fact that this case has not been resolved, and to avoid any future intellectual property disputes, we’ve decided not to include a photo of Naruto the macaque until he gives us his explicit permission to do so. However, he is very famous, and you can find his amazing selfie online easily enough.
In 2011, nature photographer David Slater left his camera on the ground in a jungle in Indonesia. Naruto, a curious macaque monkey, then picked it up and took one of the most famous selfie photos of recent years.
What was thought to be the unauthorised sharing of this selfie by millions of internet users was the subject of David Slater’s initial copyright infringement claim against those who had copied or downloaded the photo from his online posts. However, the court ruled that although Mr. Slater owned the camera, he was not the owner of the photo.
This leads us to today. A copyright claim filed in 2015 on behalf of Naruto the macaque is currently seeking to claim copyright damages against Mr. Slater and others, and secure the intellectual property rights under Naruto’s name as the author of a work of art. The poignant argument in the case is whether it can be said that Naruto knew what he was doing.

Christmas cards I have made. These Christmas Bauble cards are from a series I made for my display poster used at the past few papercrafting shows I have taken part in. I’ll show you a couple each post.
This stamp is so lovely to use with the Blendabilities pens. I had a wonderful time colouring these cards. Here is the first one of my cards.
Do you like the silver “sprigs”? They are from untwirling the silver bakers twine. And here is the second card for this post.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has sought suggestions of sector regulator TRAI on the auction of E and V bands, a senior government official said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a Broadband India Forum event, DoT member (Technology) A K Tiwari said that in future the government is going to auction millimeter wave falling in the frequency range of 37-42.5 megahertz spectrum band, E and V bands.
“We have sent reference for auction of E and V bands but that will be for backhaul,” Tiwari said.
- 5G Will Help Overcome Connectivity Barriers Faced by India
Radiowaves in E band, which falls in 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz, and V band, that is 57-64 GHz, can transmit data at very high speeds, and the method of spectrum allotment in these bands has been a subject matter of much debate in the sector, and also within government circles in the past.
Telecom players and Internet firms have been at loggerheads over auction of E and V bands.
While telecom operators have favoured the auction of spectrum in these bands, bodies representing internet firms have opposed it.
- 5G Services With Faster Speed, Lag-Free Connectivity to Start Soon: PM Modi
Even the telecom regulator TRAI in a recommendation has suggested to allocate E and V without auction.
Tiwari said that the 5G services are expected to be launched in the country within 45-50 days.
Meanwhile, the Department of Telecom (DoT) has been said to received upfront payment of around Rs. 17,876 crore from Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, Adani Data Networks and Vodafone Idea for spectrum they won in a recent auction. While all telecom operators have opted to make payments in 20 annual instalments, Bharti Airtel has paid Rs. 8,312.4 crore equivalent to four annual instalments.
Reliance Jio has made payment of Rs. 7,864.78 crore, Vodafone Idea Rs. 1,679.98 crore and Adani Data Networks Rs. 18.94 crore.

Carpet is a popular flooring option that adds warmth and comfort to any home. With a wide range of styles, colors, and materials available, selecting the right carpet can be overwhelming. Choosing the perfect carpet requires careful consideration of several factors, including durability, material, color, and texture. In this blog, we will discuss how to select carpet that will meet your needs and complement your home’s decor.
- Consider the room’s use The first step in selecting carpet is to consider the room’s use. High-traffic areas, such as hallways, living rooms, and family rooms, require a durable carpet that can withstand heavy foot traffic. Conversely, a bedroom or a sitting room may benefit from a softer, more luxurious carpet. A carpet’s intended use will determine the type of fiber and pile that is best suited for the space.
- Choose the right fiber The carpet fiber is a crucial factor in determining the carpet’s durability and overall performance. Synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester, and olefin are popular choices for high-traffic areas as they are highly durable and stain-resistant. Wool is a natural fiber that is soft, warm, and luxurious but is also more expensive and requires more maintenance. It is important to choose a fiber that will withstand your household’s lifestyle and that will fit your budget.
- Look at the pile The pile is the length and density of the carpet’s fibers. A low pile carpet has shorter fibers, making it easier to clean and maintain, while a high pile carpet has longer fibers that create a plush, luxurious feel. A loop pile carpet has uncut loops that create a unique texture, while a cut pile carpet has fibers that are cut, creating a soft, dense surface. The pile’s height, density, and construction affect the carpet’s durability, texture, and appearance.
- Consider the color The color of the carpet can dramatically affect the room’s look and feel. Lighter colored carpets create a spacious, airy feel, while darker colors create a cozy, intimate space. It is important to choose a color that will complement your existing decor and furniture. Neutral colors such as beige, gray, and cream are versatile and can work with any style or color scheme. Bold colors such as red, blue, or green can add a pop of color to a room but may be difficult to match with existing decor.
- Test the sample Before making a final decision, it is important to test a carpet sample in your home. This allows you to see how the carpet looks under your home’s lighting and with your existing decor. It is also helpful to test the carpet’s durability by walking on it and seeing how it feels underfoot.
- Consider maintenance Carpet maintenance is an important factor to consider when selecting carpet. Regular vacuuming and periodic professional cleaning will extend the carpet’s lifespan and maintain its appearance. It is important to choose a carpet that is easy to clean and maintain. Synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyester are highly stain-resistant and easy to clean, while wool requires more care and maintenance.
- Check the warranty Finally, it is important to check the carpet’s warranty before making a purchase. The warranty will provide information on the carpet’s durability, performance, and maintenance requirements. It is important to choose a carpet with a warranty that matches your household’s lifestyle and meets your expectations for quality and longevity.
In conclusion, selecting the perfect carpet requires careful consideration of several factors. The room’s use, fiber type, pile height, color, maintenance requirements, and warranty all play a role in determining the carpet that is best suited for your home. By taking the time to consider these factors and test samples, you can select a carpet that will meet your needs and complement your home’s decor.


Bond was set at $600,000 Saturday for a West Side man accused of killing his neighbor during what officials described as a narcotics-related robbery.
Carl Smith, 22, of the 300 block of South Leavitt Street, was charged Friday with first-degree murder and armed robbery in the shooting death of James Armstrong, 25, who lived next door, said Jerry Lawrence, a spokesman for the Cook County state's attorney's office.
Smith told police he was at Armstrong's apartment twirling a gun around his finger to impress a child, Assistant State's Atty. Colleen Daly said in court Saturday. The gun discharged six times, hitting Armstrong, the statement said.
But Daly told the judge that Smith was a middleman in a drug deal involving Armstrong.
Witnesses phoned police about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday after hearing gunfire and forcing their way into Armstrong's apartment, said Chicago police spokeswoman Joanne Taylor.
Police arrested Smith Thursday morning after he went to Armstrong's apartment while officers were investigating, Lawrence said. Police recovered a bag they think Smith stole from Armstrong. It contained 1.5 kilograms of cocaine and about $49,000, Lawrence said.

The Coalition of United Political Parties has asked President Muhammadu Buhari not to outsource his campaign to the All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, if he is fit for the nation’s top job. The CUPP also accused the APC of plotting to rig the 2019 elections and plunge the nation into avoidable crisis.
Addressing journalists at a news conference in Abuja on Friday, CUPP chairman, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, said Buhari would go down in history as the first President to hire a proxy in a presidential contest. The CUPP, which consisted of over 46 political parties, said Buhari must debate against its presidential candidate and account for his stewardship to Nigerians. Oyinlola said, “President Buhari has, indeed, said Senator Bola Tinubu would do the campaigns on his behalf. We hope he was misquoted. Otherwise, Nigerians should simply ask him to step back from the contest and let his party put Tinubu forward as its candidate.
“Buhari would go down as the first candidate in history to hire a proxy in a presidential contest. He is the one contesting, he should not be afraid to be the one to interface directly with Nigerians.” Oyinlola added, “We urge Nigerians to insist that President Buhari must show that he is fit and able for the nation’s top job by leading his own campaign and by being at the presidential candidates’ debate.” The CUPP chairman stated that the refusal of the President to sign the Electoral Act Amendment bill into law was part of plans to manipulate the polls.

The refresh includes new Zenbook models, a new Transformer Pro 2-in-1, three new versions of its Zen AiO all-in-one desktop, and the GT51CH gaming desktop.
There are some variations worth mentioning here. The ZenBook UX510 features better Nvidia graphics than the UX330, and it comes with a 4K display that’s 2.3 inches larger than the 330’s 13.3-inch screen. The ZenBook Flip, meanwhile, is the only 2-in-1 model in the ZenBook family that’s receiving Intel’s latest processor. Here’s the full list of machines receiving the new processor, excluding the GT51CH:
- ZenBook UX330 laptop (available now starting at $749)
- ZenBook UX310 laptop (available now starting at $699)
- ZenBook UX510 laptop (available now starting at $999)

The company has also unveiled the VivoPC X, a VR-ready compact desktop, fitting in an Intel Core i5 Kaby Lake processor and a NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics card in a size that’s not much bigger than a current-gen console.
There’s 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The compact chassis weighs in under five pounds, and checks in graphically on the low end of the VR ready spectrum. However, it should be fine for basic VR games with four USB 3.1 ports and two USB 2.0 ports for VR accessories and controllers. There’s also two HDMI ports and a DisplayPort that support Nvidia G-Sync displays. Heat is dissipated with side vents that circulate air inside, alongside a special heat pipe that draws it away from the processor.
The VivoPC X will be available in March for $799.

Oteil Burbridge Appears On Chris Pandolfi’s ‘Inside The Musician’s Brain’ Podcast
The Infamous Stringdusters banjoist Chris Pandolfi welcomed Dead & Company bassist Oteil Burbridge for an interview on his Osiris Media podcast, Inside The Musician’s Brain With Chris Pandolfi. Today, Pandolfi shared the first of two consecutive Inside The Musician’s Brain episodes featuring Oteil.
Panda begins the latest Inside The Musician’s Brain With Chris Pandolfi by discussing his recently released Trad Plus solo album, Trance Banjo. Chris goes on to talk about inspiration, musical influences and the legacy of different artists. Pandolfi notes Earl Scruggs and Tony Rice as two specific influences on his sound and bluegrass in general.
Chris runs through abbreviated bios for Scruggs and Rice. “He develops this Scruggs style with finger picks on the thumb, index and middle finger playing these rolling, rippling patterns of notes with the melody woven into that pattern. No one was doing anything like this before Earl came around,” Pandolfi says of Scruggs. “As an instrumentalist, Tony’s guitar playing has undoubtedly touched every guitar player in bluegrass since he came on the scene,” Chris adds about Tony Rice, who died on Christmas Day 2020.
The first part of the banjoist’s interview with Burbridge begins around the 15-minute mark. Oteil is no stranger to podcasts as he co-hosts Osiris Media’s Comes A Time with comedian Mike Finoia. Pandolfi and Burbridge talk life during the pandemic to start the chat. The pair appreciated the break at first but now are itching to return to the road. Oteil and Chris discuss whether the music industry will change from such a heavy focus on touring post-pandemic.
“We’re in a great period right now, I have a little cushion thanks to Allman Brothers and Dead & Company. But a year from now, if we’re not gigging, I’ll start to worry,” Oteil reveals. Burbridge talks lessons he’s learned musically over the past few months, projects he’s working on and how his crew has adapted to this new normal. The pair discusses the role of Spotify and streaming service with Oteil imploring musicians to “own their own stuff.”
Oteil recalls a dark period in his life that led to a spiritual/religious awakening. He notes the birth of his son, Nigel, also led him to reevaluate his self-worth. “Now I have two kids,” Burbridge says. “My life just completely flipped” before discussing the different path his late brother Kofi took.
Pandofi and Burbridge speak on their love for the banjo towards the end of the episode. Oteil was introduced to the instrument by his former Aquarium Rescue Unit bandmate Rev. Jeff Mosier. “The deeper I got into banjo and playing acoustic, it really made me not want to play so loud,” the bassist says. Burbridge talks about how he developed his fondness for the banjo and the role his wife played in his learning the instrument.
The second and final part of Chris’ chat with Oteil will be featured on the next Inside The Musician’s Brain episode, due out on March 2. Listen to the first installment below:

According to a source, the club are looking to bring a number of new faces into the squad, with Wits expected to lose some of their key players.
“I think the coach has seen him a couple of times and was quite impressed with him. That is why they decided to invite him for an assessment, they just want to see if he will be able to adapt to the new environment quickly.
“It is no secret that many of the guys at the club will not be there when the new season resumes. There are already a couple of players who have left, so there is a need for some new players,” said the source.


In “What’s in the Frame: Tourism, art, installation and rebuilding the old whore of a body,” Ian Bethell-Bennett writes about tourism, art, and the representation of the body in the context of colonialism and power. In this article, he examines work by Bahamian artists Blue Curry and Dionne Benjamin-Smith, whose work is on view in “Revisiting An Eye for the Tropics,” on view at the National Gallery of the Bahamas (NAGB) through February 18, 2018.
[. . .] We can also look at the photographic work examined in Dr Krista Thompson’s “An Eye for the Tropics” to see how the frame determines what is seen and what remains invisible or obscured.
The tropics is an interesting construct that relies on a historical power imbalance or racial bias built around Darwin’s and Hume’s theories and development asymmetries. These images that deploy messages are culturally specific and usually time specific, however, they can transcend both culture and time to become resistant or unruly. Catherine Cocks’s “Tropical Whites: The Rise of the Tourist South in the Americas” provides an interesting study on not just the history and links between colonialism and tourism, but also the power of the gaze to continue to frame what we see and how we see it. The focus of the camera and the painting is extremely important to the message held in the frame. Art serves to either build the formalism and the meaning deployed through the work or it can work to provide positive messaging.
In an installation piece in Paris in the shadow of Notre Dame, an artist collective has created a beached sperm whale to draw attention to the plight of whales and the reality of global climate change. The piece is shocking because no one expects to see a life-like whale, beached and bathed in water in the middle of Paris. [. . .]
Metaphor and metonym, whole or part, the art of the real and the art of the unreal, these are all aspects of unreality playing against reality. This week’s piece chooses to focus on the lack of awareness brought to the rapidly transforming yet interesting image and frame as imposed on life in the tropics, to use Krista Thompson’s and Cocks’s title. In work by some artists, we get to see differently, and this difference either empowers or disempowers. The beached whale empowers because it changes the focus of the frame, the gaze, or the eye from what is expected to be there, the Notre Dame and what is out of place, the whale. The jarring presence of the whale may cause pause and initial confusion, but the eye must translate the unexpected into meaning. This way of expressing art of creating thoughtful gaps between the self and the surrounding allows the mind to challenge what is the expected programme. Sadly, most times, we do not challenge the expected. It is expected, and we accept the image deployed. There is always a message. The Caribbean as a palm tree holds a message. The Caribbean as a tanned nubile, bathing beauty deploys another message. Both of these are extremely heteronormative, masculinist and colonial in their rendering and their affect. [. . .]
When we examine art as produced recently, there is always a challenge to the problems with the natives. Dionne Benjamin-Smith’s 2014 work ‘Beauty for Ashes’ showcased in the 7th National Exhibition, and Blue Curry’s “New Riviera” from Transforming Spaces of 2014 would speak to this shift. The Caribbean is imprisoned in the colonial subjects’ understanding of coloniality that continues to hold them and their Ministries in bondage to a frame and a gaze that is hostile to real human development.
Race, as a metaphor for inferiority, as is gender in The Bahamas that refuses to ‘see’ women as deserving of legal rights on an even playing field with their male counterparts is a massive handicap to development. As long as race and gender continue to be defining tropes in the tropical discourse of tourism, human subservience resounds. [. . .]
Black bodies are good enough to be (s)exploited, enjoyed, consumed, but are they good enough to be followed other than through desire? Ironically, tourism has crept so completely into the DNA of Bahamians that they cannot even see where they are being devoured. White supremacy, notwithstanding the racial slurs, sexist rants, bigoted politics and protectionist language, that posits The Bahamas as a mere protectorate of a big, stronger country, being tossed around in the geopolitical centres, has been undone by decolonization and Black power. [. . .]

- If it was not for Game of Thrones, it is unlikely Maisie would have shot to fame as fast as she has done. She says it was pure luck, but the truth is that Maisie is talented. Not only is she an excellent actress but she is also a bit of an entrepreneur, but more about that later.
- In 2014 Maisie accepted her first movie role. The film was called The Falling. Once again, she received a lot of critical acclaim. To many, it was becoming increasingly obvious she is a talented actress. Something which her family had realized a long time ago. Without their help, Maisie says she doubts she would have become famous at such an early age.
- Despite of her young age, Maisie does not shy away from anything. In 2018, she made her stage debut in a play by Lauren Gunderson called I and You.
- Other appearances include four episodes of the British cult classic science fiction show Doctor Who. Furthermore, you can catch her in the British drama Cyberbully and iBoy which is another British science-fiction film.
- In 2017 she co-starred in Mary Shelley along with an animated drama called Early Man. She appeared in the romantic comedy Then You Came in 2018.
What Makes Her So Successful?
- There is never one thing that makes an artist successful. This is especially true of an artist as young as Maisie. She has always received lots of support from her family. Her mom has even made sure that she has always had a job to fit in with Maisie. When Maisie’s career took off, she was forced to give her job up. It can’t have been easy for the family at times, but the results speak for themselves.
- At an age when most young girls would like to be out and partying with their friends, Maisie has worked on her acting skills. Many cast members of the Game of Thrones have said Maisie is one of the most focused young ladies that they have ever met.
- Maisie likes to play her cards close to her chest, but it is thought she has several interesting upcoming roles. You never know what to expect from her next.
- She says she loves to learn from more experienced actors and knows she has to work hard to succeed in this competitive industry.
Maisie’s aim seems to be to become one of the most versatile actresses. It does not seem to matter what the genre is, Maisie is willing to “have a go” as she likes to say. An Oscar or similar prestigious awards seem far more attractive to an actress like Maisie, than money ever is.

Well, hot damn! It took me while to post about it but I AM SO ECSTATIC THAT BROOKLYN NINE-NINE WAS SAVED BY NBC AND WAS ORDERED A 6TH SEASON! While the initial 6th season order is just for 13 episodes, I'll take that over a cancellation. NINE-NINE!
So FOX decided to crush people's hearts by cancelling Brooklyn Nine-Nine, one of the funniest and most intelligent shows on air. The gang of Jake, Amy, Charles, Rosa, Gina, Captain Holt and Sgt. Jeffords (alright Scully and Hitchcock too) are my constant source of happiness, especially when Netflix becomes overwhelming and I couldn't choose a … Continue reading Brooklyn Nine-Nine is Cancelled and I’m Not Having It
What's worse than not catching a movie (that you are looking forward to) in the cinema? It's accidentally reading about the movie's plot before you get to watch it. Yup, people who post spoilers are mean, mean people. I have a fear of missing out (FOMO) and most of the time, I blame myself whenever … Continue reading Why Spoilers are the Worst

A federal election campaign in North Vancouver that connected with progressive voters with a human, genuine, and positive approach that delivered record engagement and voter turnout for the Green Party.
"They are a rare combination of industrious, enterprising, and positive."
Green Party of Canada
In an election heavy on voting strategies in a traditionally Conservative or Liberal riding, it was a heavy challenge. At the same time, the Greens were becoming a more mature party with strong candidates backed with an extensive progressive platform. With a charismatic personality as the candidate, we had to be noticed & stand out with a communications strategy that truly connected with the people.
Full-on energy, constant presence in the community & campaign media tailored to externalize our candidate's charisma & genuineness. Our goal was to engage voters in a human & personal way to spark a deeper emotional connection beyond what politics tend to offer.
On social media, we produced dozens of videos, images & campaigns, some of them shared across the country. After long weeks of following our campaign strategy across media platforms, canvassing and media outreach, we openly challenged voters to vote for what they believe in to cut through the strategic voting noise.
The campaign team delivered record numbers in the riding: A 200% increase in Green voters. A 400% increase in social media engagement. A new record number of volunteers joined the campaign and finally, never seen before fundraising results.


Back in 2005, Ravens defensive end Chris Canty was preparing for the NFL draft.
One of his workout partners was Richie Incognito, the controversial Miami Dolphins offensive guard who's been indefinitely suspended for conduct detrimental to the team for allegedy making racially-charged statements and threats toward teammate Jonathan Martin.
"I do know him, I've understood and heard the things from his past," Canty said. "I'm not familiar with the things he's had going on since then, but it's really unfortunate this took place. I didn't see him as somebody capable of using those racial slurs and leading racially charged attacks on Jonathan Martin in the fashion that he did.
"I didn't see that. General troublemaker, might see that, but not in this form or fashion. This is surprising to me to see any player using these kind of remarks and these kind of attacks in this day and age."
Canty has struck a strong stance on the Dolphins' combustible locker room situation.
The tempest in South Florida has triggered Martin leaving the team to seek counseling and the NFL launching a formal investigation.
If the allegations are true, Canty said Incognito shouldn't play in the NFL again.
"Playing in the NFL is a privilege, not a right," Canty said. "And I think it should be treated as such. I don't think there's any place for racism, racially charged attacks. I don't think there's a place for it."
Canty said he can't condone anything about what allegedly happened, and doesn't believe any NFL locker room would.
"It wouldn't play out too well in any NFL locker room," Canty said. "The Richie Incognito situation, I really have a hard time believing that the guys in the Miami Dolphins' locker room knew that was taking place, that he was leaving racial slurs on his voice mail and having racially charged attacks on Jonathan Martin. I don't think guys understood the extent of what was going on.
"I don't think that would end well for whoever that was leaving those remarks and leading the charge on those kind of racial attacks. There's no place for that anywhere in our society and we all recognize that an NFL locker room is a different kind of workplace. There's still no place for that. Racial slurs, there's no place for it, and I don't think guys will stand for it. Locker rooms are typically a place that polices itself, and I think in such a situation, it would."
Canty said at least the Dolphins took swift action by indefinitely suspending Incognito unlike the Philadelphia Eagles having wide receiver Riley Cooper briefly be excused from practice for mandatory counseling and fining him.
"Even going back to the Riley Cooper incident, this is unfortunate that this is continuing to take place," Canty said. "I do want to commend the Miami Dolphins for setting a precedent in their course of action as opposed to what the Philadelphia Eagles decided to do, giving Riley Cooper a slap on the wrist.
"I think that emboldens people to use those kind of slurs. I think the Dolphins are setting the right example for how a workplace should feel safe and secure for everyone."
Nose tackle Terrence Cody echoed Canty's sentiments.
"Racial stuff, you got to draw the line," Cody said. "There's man rules. You should never try another guy and disrespect some guy's manhood. That was overboard."

The East Bloomfield town board recently approved and awarded the general contract bid to John McKinnon Construction Co. from Honeoye Falls to improve the American Legion building at Veterans Park.
Asbestos was removed from the building before the construction phase, and the interior was prepared for reconstruction and remodeling work. The project is expected to start as soon as possible and should be done before the summer.
The infrastructure in the 44-year-old building has experienced a gradual decline. East Bloomfield previously replaced the windows, installed a new roof, and upgraded the heating and security systems.
The building serves as the town’s community center. It will reopen for public use once the work is completed.
“Residents of East Bloomfield have used this building for nearly two generations,” Supervisor Fred Wille said. “With the anticipated improvements, it will serve the community for generations to come.”

The South Korean government has denounced an NGO for writing to the Security Council. The South Korean prosecutor’s office has initiated a criminal investigation against one of the most respected civil society organizations in South Korea, People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy (PSPD). But is it a criminal act for an NGO to send a letter or report to the Security Council on a problem before the Council?
PSPD is a watchdog NGO that was founded in 1994. Since then it has monitored the actions of the South Korean government, supporting the efforts of South Korean citizens to participate in political affairs.
In a letter asking for support, PSPD writes (1):
“PSPD believes that diplomacy and security policy should be under the citizenry’s watch and democratic control. National Security and diplomatic policy should not be monopolized by military and diplomatic authorities.”

An article on the Cheonan warship sinking, “The whole story of the South Korean government as a false account?” was published in Telepolis on June 1. It documents several of the misleading claims being made by the South Korean government to put the blame on North Korea.
The June 2 election in South Korea for local and regional government showed that many South Koreas citizens and netizens rejected the Lee Myung-bak government claims and rendered his Grand National Party candidates a surprising and serious defeat.
This, however, has not deterred the Lee government from its goal. The election results were announced demonstrating the criticism of the government’s hostile policy toward North Korean represented by the so called “investigation” blaming North Korea for the sinking of the Cheonan. Yet, the South Korean government initiated action to take its spurious claims to the United Nations Security Council. A… weiter lesen

Jasień (Germ. Gassen) – railway station
PFirst railway through Jasień was started on the 1st September 1846 and connected Berlin with Wrocław. The building of the station is from 1875. The station comprised a lounge with bar, ticket counter, offices and of course luggage storage. By the station there was a private siding with carriage scales. The railway nod in Jasień was partly destroyed in 1945. Gradually the line running through Jasień was more and more rarely used. The last passenger train run through the station on May 16th 1995 – course Żagań – Lubsko. Since 2005 Jasień is a maintenance-free hold.
Due to the fact the station is unused it falls into ruin. The rails were overgrown by plants, the warehouses were destroyed and the station building was transformed to private apartments.

William Wyler's deserved reputation for turning literary stage works into top-notch movies (such as "The Little Foxes" and "The Heiress") was borne out early with the 1936 "Dodsworth," an adaptation from Sidney Howard's Broadway play based on the Sinclair Lewis novel.
Though a little dated at first by conventions of the era, "Dodsworth" quickly becomes a fluid, graceful film about a married couple in conflict. Its theme is serious and mature but never solemn. And scenes are typically dappled with light humor characteristic of the fabled "Wyler touch."
What's more, the movie provides the chance to watch the great Walter Huston (father of John and grandfather of Anjelica) in one of his most celebrated and expansive roles, a repeat of the performance that more or less crowned his Broadway career.
You'll also catch a gracious Mary Astor in her pre-"Maltese Falcon" days at the height of her beauty, not to mention her charm; the former Paramount star Ruth Chatterton in a one-note "comeback" performance that demonstrates why her career couldn't be revived; Maria Ouspenskaya in a chilling cameo, and the young David Niven in one of his earliest Hollywood roles as a gay blade.
The story centers on Sam Dodsworth (Huston), a recently retired Midwestern automobile magnate. His wife, Fran (Chatterton), has persuaded him to take her to Europe so they can begin to "enjoy life." But enjoying life turns out to mean very different things to each of them.
Sam has an innocent sense of adventure, an unpretentious love of simple things. Fran, however, is anxious to be admired by the sophisticated Continental crowd. Her snobbism--merely an inversion of the social insecurities of a small town matron--compounds her real problem: a neurotically overwhelming fear of growing old.
Inevitably, Fran seeks the attention of men with polished manners and/or a title. How Sam copes with this and what ultimately happens to their marriage is the movie's emotional payoff in an ending that pulls no punches.
"Dodsworth" (1936), directed by William Wyler. 101 minutes. Not Rated.

How to restore the dignity of Parliament
Ndimeni Eastern Cape The dignity of Parliament during the state of the nation address (Sona) will surely be restored only when President Jacob Zuma’s term of office ends. Nakedi via SMS Sona is not the time and place to deal with personal grudges. I have the right to watch and listen to the address. All those without manners must be dragged out and thrown far away. Manamela Mokhele North west It is very simple, get rid of Zuma and sanity will prevail. Jane Lunga Eastern Cape What a shame. What a terrible embarrassment for all South Africans Sona was. We can only restore our dignity by getting rid of the ANC in government. The violence meted out to the Economic Freedom Fighters is unacceptable in a democracy. The behaviour of ANC MPs was shameful and the attitude of the ANC to anyone opposing their views reflected in their utterances. Calling people “dogs”, “rapists”, “sellouts” and “racists”, all because the opposition parties are standing up to the theft, corruption and mismanagement of the ANC. The once honourable movement is dead. RIP ANC. Morris Bekeweni Eastern Cape The dignity of Parliament can be restored if Sona can be used for its purpose, not for settling scores and as a political tool. Molefi Ralitsela Gauteng The dignity of Parliament can be restored if more police members are deployed in Parliament for security reasons. I know, I didn’t elect him, but let’s wait for the election. Shaluza Tselanngwe North West The dignity of Parliament can be restored by voting the ANC out for good. Jake North West Only if we could get rid of this corrupt president.

Direct Shadow Method Application to Aero-Acoustic Interaction Investigation
Some investigation results for interaction process of saw-like sound waves of high intensity (160–170 dB) with axisymmetrical subsonic and supersonic jets are presented. Flow and sound waves visualization was performed by the direct shadowgraph method using an impulse source with exposure duration 2*10-7 s. Peculiarities of disturbance emergence and development in a subsonic air jet and in a helium jet under acoustic excitation are considered. It is shown that large-scale disturbances arise on the acoustically excited side of a supersonic jet and the jet radiates directional sound at the frequency of the external excitation (Mach waves).

There's nothing like sleeping out under the stars! An image from Mr. Deacon's very first portrait session. Enjoy!
We were recently commissioned by Jacob and Adrian McNabb to create portraits of them before their new baby arrived. It was such a beautiful day and we were able to create some beautiful art pieces for their new home. We thought we'd share just a few.
Just finished these images of Miss Kate-Carson. Isn't she beautiful? I just loved the softness of these portraits. I know her big brother is so proud!
THIS little lady was something else! The day of her sister's newborn session, she REALLY took up with Connie! When she came back the other day for HER 3 year session, she insisted that Miss Connie help. In the middle of the session, she stopped and asked Connie if she could tell her something. Then she leaned over and in a really soft voice said, "I love you." It was SOOO sweet. Anyway, here are a few from Miss Kaylee's 3 year session. Oh, and for those of you who are wondering, the absolutely beautiful dress came from Mags & Lulu
