Wouldn’t go again. Not got value, food wasn’t tasty. The cocktails were okay.
Overall the restaurant was adorable and wait staff excellent. Some of the snacks were delish, but I was surprised at the blandness of the main dish (artichoke benedict) which, even after liberal doses of Cholula, was nearly devoid of flavor. Two of us got the same thing and both doused it with hot sauce. Not a good look! Not a good taste.
Good for brunch!! Avocado toast needs a little more spice though - too bland!
We had a great afternoon and the wait staff was fantastic! We were there celebrating my son's graduation from UT. We had a lovely time. Thank you to all the people working on Saturday 5/19.
The chicken sandwich came on toast instead of the roll described on the menu. No one bothered to tell us they were out of the rolls. It was very bland, but pricey.
Fabulous lunch during graduation weekend. Food was great and service was fabulous!
We ordered 5 different dishes and Everything was delicious!!
We ended up booking Caroline for Mother’s Day dinner with the kids and some neighbors (lucky to find a reservation at 6pm for 8 on Mother’s Day). The service was ok, nothing to complain or comment on. The appetizers were all great! We had the tuna, burrata, peppers, and the deviled eggs; they were all yummy. I had the fish (was ok) my husband had the enchiladas (also ok). My son had the quesadilla which came with fries. I was a little disappointed it didn’t come with salsa or guacamole.
One thing that bothered me was the lack of a children’s menu. If you’re going to offer children’s dishes then you should have a children’s menu...not just the waitress rambling them off each time someone new comes to the table. I find that annoying.
Bill was slightly higher than i would have expected for this meal but, then again, we didn’t have many options on Mother’s Day. I might go back but prob only for appetizers and drinks.
We had Mother’s Day brunch and it was good. The place was packed and the kitchen seemed overwhelmed. The manager had to come out and apologize about our food being late. But everyone enjoyed their meal.
Coffee refills were not offered and when asked, they were charged additional full price
We had a great meal and experience at Caroline’s! Our brunch was awesome and our server was friendly and efficient. Great place to dine with a group and the upstairs bar is a great after-meal option.
Great selection of my kind of bubbly (Mumms and Gloria Ferrer), a plethora of healthy and appetizing meals from salads with quinoa to a bunch of juices and smoothies I am now dying to try. Excellent choice for our girls lunch and wonderful shaded patio! Would come here again for sure!!
Service was excellent. Food was ok. But again loved the service and the space!
Food wasn’t that great
Our waitstaff was inattentive, they didn’t have French Toast for Sunday morning brunch, and the other food they brought out was honestly disappointing in the sense that it seems to only exist to please an Instagram aesthetic instead of the human palate.
Service was awful. We weren’t even given water or asked for our drink order for 20 minutes. The wait for everything was very long. The food was nothing special. Ambiance was the only thing enjoyable. All 4 guests I was with, said we would not return.
Very pleased with our experience. Our service was fantastic and she did not rush us AT ALL! She had excellent dining suggestions. The food was delicious. Valet parking easy. Highly recommend and will definitely return.
Went to brunch with my daughter and we had a lovely time! The food was very good, nice service, and overall I would definitely go back again.
A fun, beautiful restaurant a block from the Paramount and under the A Loft hotel (I guess officially it's a hotel restaurant). I loved the salt and pepper salmon with cauliflower almond pilaf. Very good and gluten free. The brussel sprout side was a little heavy on the mustard/mayo sauce and was uncooked so not my fav. But overall a nice night out.
Food was fantastic.. great choices on the brunch menu. Delicious juice selection! Would definitely come back next time we visit.
Love this place. Never fails, simply one of the new greats.
Ignored by waiter. Order was delivered incomplete.
Had drinks at the upstairs bar before dinner- super fun! Great atmosphere.
Dinner was wonderful- we had several appetizers and we all got different entrees.
Will definitely go back!
Amazing chicken schnitzel
Everything about Caroline is simple and understated -- except for the quality of the experience. Although it is part of the Aloft/Element hotels, it is night and day from what you'd expect from an on-property restaurant. We loved the burrata and could have eaten the Brussels sprouts with dates all day! Cute touches like the water bowl outside on the sidewalk, and the fresh herbs in planters by the entrance, make you realize someone is putting thought into this and not just following a corporate playbook. Will definitely be back.
Not a great experience overall. We had a reservation, but took the hostesses 10-15 mins to prepare our table. The restaurant was very loud. It took a long time to get our drinks. A few of us were splitting a bottle of rose and the waitress dropped the bottle and it went everywhere. Totally an accident, but then took another 20 minutes to get a new bottle. Wouldn’t go back.
My wife and I enjoyed the Caroline completely! Great food, service music and atmosphere.
Pre-show dinner got the girls!
I had the hot and crispy halibut it was very crispy but did not have much flavor. The Caroline salad was delicious and a dinner companion had the snitzel which was amazing. The warm chocolate salted caramel cake was just yummy. The service was good and so were the drinks. It was a little loud for dinner conversation but overall a good dining experience.
Caroline is always super consistent which I sincerely appreciate. Service was excellent-- our waiter was friendly, funny, knowledgable of the menu and super professional. Menu is on the smaller side but it covers a wide range of tastes and preferences. Food was prepared quickly and the presentation was lovely. Nice atmosphere. I love that they are open pretty much all day. So happy this restaurant opened. Great addition to the neighborhood.
Got the orders wrong, food was mediocre. Overall a disappointing experience.
My friends and I enjoyed this restaurant immensely! The atmosphere was lovely and the service was EXCELLENT! Our server Elijah was so helpful and very attentive. The manager even stopped by to check on us. The food was delicious and enjoyable. I will be recommending Caroline to everyone and I will be back again. Top Notch Dining Experience!
I came here during the SXSW Interactive Conference. Our server, Brandon, was very attentive and provided great suggestions. My meal was good. The arrugala caeaer salad was great! Lots of great selections on the menu. Also a great spot on Congress and within short walking distance to the 6th Street "madness".
The management at Caroline is incredible. There was a mix up in service, but the management took care of everything, and definitely went above and beyond! My friends and I were thoroughly impressed, and will definitely be back for more blueberry cobbler. ❤❤
It was so good!
Everything was very delicious and seemed fresh. That butter is off The chain delicious!! The only thing I recommend is maybe not cooking the waffles for too long. They were about as crunchy as the chicken.
We ended up at the rooftop bar for continued conversation and mimosas. The view was cool and the fact that there were activities upstairs was a fun aspect of the experience.
We chose this place for brunch mainly because they take reservations and during SXSW restaurants can have long wait times. BUT I will for sure come back here for other reasons. Everything we ordered was fantastic, but my favorites were the artichoke eggs benedict and the fried chicken and waffles. The bloody mary was also delicious. Oh, and the warm chocolate cake was ridiculously good. Friendly staff as well. Can't wait to go back!
Came for Sunday brunch. Enjoyed standard breakfast of eggs with good Texas toast and chicken sausage. My daughter had an omelette with feta that she enjoyed. Good portion of Potatoes were crisp and not oily. Attentative service
Overall great experience, food was awesome and our waiter was super on top of our large group (14 people). The only complaint I had was that when I made the reservation, the hostess neglected to tell me that Caroline will split checks a maximum of four ways...kind of difficult when you have 14 people so we ultimately had to put an almost $600 bill on one individuals credit card. Would of been nice to know before hand.

2011 was supposed to be the year when everything changed. Protests erupted across the planet, largely as a response to the worsening economic situation that followed the 2007– 08 financial crash.
1 Elsewhere in the garden
Notes that link to this note (AKA backlinks).
The cycle of struggle that erupted in 2011 – from the Arab Spring to the movement of the squares to the anti-austerity demonstrations in Britain – was characterised by stress on horizontalism and decentralised leadership. But as that movement grew and changed, it found itself running into the limits of that form, and entered into political parties – or founded new ones. But it found both resistance and limits there, too – and now, especially in many countries in Europe, it finds itself at a crossroads. All of these questions are questions of political organisation, fraught with urgency because of the climate crisis, and – after the 20th century – without any easy answers or faith in the inevitability of history. What should come next?


Re: 166 3.0 V6 - shudder and loss of power
Since last weekend I 've been driving a bit constant speed low revs. Definitely, has an effect beacuse there is much less clicking from the engine than before and no more engine shudders. Before the clicks were every 2s now it can take up to 20s between two clicks.
Tried pushing it up to 5000rpm and I still get a loss of power.
As initially suggested by bobda, theory is dirt in the plug causing an arc. If it were the front plugs easy to unmount. Not in an urge to access the rear ones if I can somehow clear the "dirt".

Public Libraries: Report From “New Uses of the Public Library” Seminar
From the IFLA Public Library Division Blog:
The Seminar ‘New uses of the public library’, held on 26 February 2015 in the functions room of the Design Museum of Barcelona and organised by the Barcelona Provincial Council Library Services Management Office with the cooperation of the Barcelona Libraries Consortium and the IFLA’s Public Libraries and Library Buildings and Equipment sections, provided a forum for debate on the changes that are taking place in the use of the public library and how they affect services, users, spaces and professionals.
One of the challenges currently facing library professionals is defining the library model in a global context marked by profound change and social and economic uncertainty. A constantly evolving society characterised by factors such as the increased use of technology, changes in cultural consumption, a trend towards immediate access to knowledge, a diversity of interests and multiculturalism.
hese social factors are changing how citizens approach libraries and create new challenges in responding to needs and expectations in the design of library services and amenities. To address this, three round tables were organised on Users, Services and Professionals and composed, in all cases, of a local moderator, a professional from the Barcelona Municipal Libraries Network (MLN), a member of the Public Libraries section and a member of the Buildings section. The programme concluded with a presentation of good practices applied in the province of Barcelona.

Top 5 border falsehoods pushed by Congressional Democrats and the media
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen testified before Congress yesterday about the National Emergency on our southern border. In reporting the latest statistics from U.S. border officials, she confronted the Democrats’ no. 1 immigration myth head-on. “We face a crisis—a real, serious, and sustained crisis at our borders,” she said.
The reason Democrats defend the status quo is not because they or anyone else believe that America’s broken immigration system is working. Indeed, the problem has only gotten worse since former President Obama himself called it a “humanitarian crisis” nearly five years ago.
But acknowledging such a crisis exists today would make Democrats accountable for working with President Trump to help solve it. Their leaders have already gone on the record to say they will not. Instead, they hope to keep a lid on the ugly, painful truths behind the emergency unfolding along our southern border.
It is time to set the record straight:
- Myth: There is no crisis at the border.
Fact: More than 76,000 people attempted to cross our border illegally last month alone—the most of any February during the past 12 years.
- Myth: The problem at the border used to be much worse.
Fact: Today, we face an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants that loopholes prevent from being returned quickly to their home countries. Criminal smugglers exploit these rulings and use children as leverage to gain entry.
- Myth: A wall wouldn’t help stop the flow of drugs.
Fact: Not only do we not know the amount of drugs smuggled between ports of entry, but building the wall will help law enforcement personnel carry out their missions more safely and effectively in remote areas of the border.
Top 5 Border Falsehoods Pushed by Congressional Democrats and the Media
Watch: The President has a duty to fix this crisis, Press Secretary Sanders says

What is Implementation And Maintenance Of Layout?
Plant Layout refers to the arrangement of physical facilities such as machinery, equipment, furniture etc. within the factory building in such a manner so as to have quickest flow of material at the lowest cost and with the least amount of handling in processing the product from the receipt of material to the shipment of the finished product.
According to Riggs, “the overall objective of Plant Layout is to design a physical arrangement that most economically meets the required output – quantity and quality.” According to J. L. Zundi, “Plant Layout ideally involves allocation of space and arrangement of equipment in such a manner that overall operating costs are minimized.
All these points are taken care of by the experts providing Management homework help and assignment help at transtutors.com.
Various steps of planning
(i) The first thing is planning a layout is to study the objectives, production plan and the nature of machines, equipment and manufacturing operations involved in the production process.
Select the equipment on the basis of product design and volume of the output to be attained. In other words the layout of the plant should be functional in the production of
a specified product at the required rate of output.
(ii) Accumulate layout data: machine data cards, machine load charts and templates of equipment.
(iii) On the basis of information collected in step (ii) develop process charts which are vital in the development of a sound layout. These charts summaries the production activities that are required to achieve the manufacturing objectives.
(iv) Develop an over-all flow plan of operations for efficient processing and materials handling. The best flow of work both horizontal and vertical and the integration of operations form the receipt of the raw materials to storage of finished goods are the objectives to be attained. Process charts. Machine load data, production rate desired etc. should be considered in drafting the plan.
(v) The sequence of mechanical operations is studied to fix the position of respective machines performing desired operations.
(vi) Select best suited type of building and develop a tentative plot plan for the site. The exact specifications of the building are designated only after the layout is developed in considerable detail.
(vii) Layout templates or models of individual production machines and space for service activities: materials handling, receiving and shipping, inspection, storage, maintenance, offices etc. according to flow plan operations.
(viii) Decision about the location of services facilities like cafeteria, toilets etc. Inside the
plant building is taken, keeping into consideration the requirements of the production process and comforts of the workers.
(ix) The position of windows, ventilators, electric fittings, drainage of the layout are drawn and the production run is tested.
(x) After analyzing all the details in steps (i) to (vii), drawings of the layout are drawings of the layout are drawn and the production run is tested.
(xi) Modifications can be done according to the experience of test runs.
The efficiency of production depends on how well the various machines; production facilities and employee’s amenities are located in a plant. Only the properly laid out plant can ensure the smooth and rapid movement of material, from the raw material stage to the end product stage.
These latest developments are all covered in the Management homework help and assignment help at transtutors.com.

The TD Saturday Market launches its 10th season May 5, providing farm-fresh produce, baked
goods, meats, cheeses, seafood and other specialty foods to Main Street in downtown Greenville each week. This year’s market will feature a record 54 new and returning vendors and will run from Court Street to Washington Street. In addition, the market will accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, providing shoppers with the option to use Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards when purchasing fresh produce.
According to Angie Prosser, the City’s Public Information and Events Director, the market has seen substantial growth since its initial launch on East Court Street in 2003. “What began as a small-scale farmers’ market with 17 to 22 vendors during its first season, has grown significantly into a signature City event on Main Street,” said Prosser. “We are thrilled that the market has become not only a great place to shop from a quality and nutritional aspect, but also to spend money locally in support of the community.”
The market opens its season with returning vendors including The Happy Berry, Great Harvest Bread Company, Sea Eagle Market, Spurgeon Farms, Rio Bertolini’s Fresh Pasta Company, Iszy’s Heirloom Veggies, Beechwood Farm, Native Meats and Earth Blooms. New vendors include Black Maze Salsa, Fowler Farms, Callaham Orchards, Gibson Farms, Marvelous Pies, North Main Stone, Night Owl Chocolate, Henson Farms and more.
SNAP clients will also have the ability to use their EBT cards to purchase eligible food items from market vendors in the form of wooden tokens. The market currency will be available at the information tent located at the intersection of Main Street and McBee Avenue. The nationwide program is supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
“TD Bank is proud to partner with the City of Greenville as the title sponsor of the Saturday Market,” said David Lominack, Market President for TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank®. “Supporting the communities where we live and work has long been one of TD Bank’s core values, in addition to supporting programs that promote and celebrate both diversity and a better environment. The Saturday Market is a perfect example of this philosophy, and we are thrilled to once again be a part of this great event.”
Along with providing fresh produce each week, the market will also offer free monthly educational events in the It’s More than Just a Market activities area. Market shoppers will have an opportunity to learn first-hand about items found at the market through a variety of how-to classes, including cooking, gardening and nutrition. The area will also feature monthly children’s activities planned by The Children’s Museum of the Upstate, live acoustic music and cooking demonstrations performed by local restaurant chefs and farmers.
The TD Saturday Market is open Saturdays, May 5 through October 27 (excluding October 13), from 8 a.m. to Noon on Main Street at McBee Avenue.

On NARRATIVE STRUCTURE, THEME & STYLE:
Borrowing literary concepts, Narrative Frame, or “frame-story,” presents “a preliminary narrative” or story, within which one or more characters tell stories (Abrams 195) - e.g. a single story or a sequence of stories remembered from the character’s past--which can constitute “a complete and rounded narrative,” as well “as a means of characterizing the teller” (Abrams 195).
Summary by Philibert: The adult France Dalens has returned to Cameroon and is on her way to Mindif, “where she used to live with her parents when the country was under French rule” (207). A black man traveling with his son, whom France first sees on a beach, gives her ride into Limbé, “the closest town where she is to catch an autobus to Douala. The car scene triggers a film-long flashback, in which France recalls fragments of the Dalens’s life in troubled colonial times,” and reveals her mother “Aimée’s desire for the family’s servant, Protée . . .” (207; emphasis added).
The narrative frame and the long, extended flashback (hardly therefore a “flash”)define thefilm’s narrative structure, bridging “two distinct periods—postcolonial and colonial Cameroon—and two different life stages—France as a young woman and as a preteen,” “creating an atmosphere which evokes both an era gone and a daydream” and blurs time and space (Philibert 209-210).
In literary terms, France Dalens might be considered the film’s primary participant NARRATOR, or story teller. The camera’s “eye” is presumably directed by her “gaze,” visual representation of the past focused on and limited to scenes from her childhood that the adult France “remembers” as in a waking “daydream,” which seems to commingle what the child France herself had witnessed first-hand, overheard or been told about—or the adult France reads about in her father’s Notebook, which she carries with her. Adult + child France’s memories, attitudes and reflections shape the POINT OF VIEW of the film. In cinematic terms, “the camera takes on the . . . ‘participant observer’ role” in the film narrative (Morgan 146).
As Janice Morgan observes, Chocolat is an autobiographical film that
"deals in a very personal way with the French colonial experience in Africa, addressing not only the overt, social aspects of the colonial experience but also--in conjunction with those--exploring its unacknowledged, psychological dimensions. This story of a French family living in Cameroon during the 1950s is recounted largely from a European perspective--but from one, interestingly, 'on the edge' of that perspective, since the events are narrated from the point of view of a child growing up between two different races, two different worlds" (Morgan 145; emphasis added).
“The story is told partly through the eyes of the young girl, and the film opens in the present, showing her as an adult in 1988, going back to visit her childhood home. But what is most important about the story are the things the young girl could not have known, or could have understood only imperfectly. And the central fact is that Protee is the best man, the most capable man, in the district, and that her mother and Protee feel a strong sexual attraction to each other” (Ebert; emphasis added).
Morgan maintains that Chocolat has “dual protagonists, representing both the ‘inside’ and the ‘outside’ of events”-- France and Protee--and the camera “eye” represents their dual perspectives on events (146). Child France and adult Protee form a special bond, as both insiders and outsiders, with the ability to “cross the color line”: child France is “not yet a full player in the colonial drama but a silent witness to it, from the edges of a deeply divided social order”; adult Protee is another silent witness who, as “the trusted employee,” can move “back and forth from the white governor’s house to the black workers’ quarters” (Morgan 146). If, in the narrative past, the young girl imperfectly understands all she witnesses, the camera “eye” also makes viewers aware of the silent observing presence of Protee at key events, and we are invited to imagine his perspective as adult colonized African “other.”
What is remembered, the scenes that are presented, are selective and selected – perhaps unconsciously by the character France, but certainly consciously by the filmmaker Claire Denis - to develop dramatic plot and themes. Frame story and embedded past story represent particularly meaningful life stages, events and messages, focusing on individual and collective relationships: e.g. between Protee and child France, drawn together as outsiders “excluded respectively from the white European world and the adult world” (Philibert 211), and between colonizers (e.g. Marc and Aimee Dalens) and colonized (e.g. Protee).
KEY PLOT EVENTS: Three key events stir controversy and advance the plot of the past story to its climax: “the visit of Jonathan Boothby; the emergency plane landing which leaves five Europeans and an African maid stranded on the Dalens’s estate . . .; and the intrusion of Luc Segalen . . .” (Philibert 213; emphasis added).
PARALLELS: Denis creates many suggestive parallels within and between the narrative frame story and the past story, their characters and themes in Chocolat. Look for parallels. For example, interesting parallels between “narrative frame” travelers adult France and “Mungo” Park – both exiles and migrants - are suggested: e.g. both had come to Africa seeking to reconnect to their “roots,” (day)dreams from which they must awake to unpleasant present realities: e.g. Mungo is robbed of his delusions of brotherhood by an early encounter with a Cameroonian “brother”; and Mungo can read neither past nor future in France’s scarred palm - emblem of a tenuous bridge burned long ago by Protee and not to be rebuilt now. Parallels are also suggested in identities and relationships among France, her mother, Mungo and Protee: e.g. Mungo refuses France’s offer of a drink and perhaps more –as Protee once refused her mother’s Aimee’s offer of more, at a climactic moment in the past story.
More on Structure,Theme & Cinematic Style: Chocolat emphasizes “a process of reflecting, re-assembling and remembering the colonial . . . past” (Villella). “Chocolat explores the subtle and discreet workings of power, desire, betrayal and dependency in colonial inter-relationships. The film refuses to present a reality in which characters are polarized as either good or bad, oppressor or victim; instead it dramatizes colonial relationships as complex, ambiguous and intricate” (Villella). The film’s characterizations and thematic messages are delivered in unconventional ways: “tableaux-like composition . . . dominates its style and the silent, observant and calculated regard of the camera”; “a lyrical rhythm, where the characters are present in their bodily movement, gesture, expression” and “minimal exchanges between characters and their unspoken feelings” (Villella). “Where nothing is spoken out loud between characters, their individual movements, gestures and expressions become significant moments of revelation”; indeed, according to Villella, “[t]he film’s most significant and telling moments are conveyed exclusively through bodily expression and gesture.”
Claire Denis “teaches you to think through your eyes” (Hinson).
“Denis employs the power of the visual to convey a plethora of information in an instant and to create a strong emotional impact. Silent observation becomes a powerful and highly articulate space. The vast silence of West Africa dominates the narrative. Stylistically this is conveyed through long shots laboriously panning the sparse West African landscape. These shots are marked by the absence of a musical soundtrack traditionally employed to apologise for the absence of naturally occurring diegetic sounds or dialogue. South African musician, Abdullah Ibrahim, composes a selectively used musical soundtrack. The extended shots of a silent landscape run parallel to the silence shared by Protee and France, both culturally disempowered subjects – France as a child; Protee as an African servant. Silence is a powerful tool as it allies France and Protee in a mutual position of astute observation” (Sandars).
Dir. by Claire Denis
Claire Denis’s debut film, Chocolat, opens with a two-minute static shot of a man and child, both black, playing in shallow ocean waters. When the camera does finally move, it pans nearly 180 degrees to the right before coming to rest on a young white woman. I thought little of the shot the first time I saw the film, but watching Chocolat again last night, I was struck by the economy of that single, simple camera movement. By dividing the frame in perfect halves, the shot’s composition introduces what will become one of the film’s central metaphors, the horizon line; by recontextualizing an idyllic image of a father and son (presumably) through what amounts to a cutless eyeline match, the pan firmly establishes the film’s tricky but essential subjective perspective.
The young woman, we eventually learn, is traveling through Cameroon, visiting the lands where she was raised as the daughter of a French colonial district officer. France (Mireille Perrier) carries with her her father’s leatherbound diary of notes and sketches, and she fingers its pages as if the diary were family album, romance novel, and roadmap, all in one. Ten minutes into Chocolat, we leave the present to enter her reverie of the past, and all but the final few minutes of the film are a recreation of her childhood landscape. Specifically, France remembers a time when her father set out on a short trip, leaving her and her mother (Giulia Boschi) behind under the care of their houseboy, Protée (Isaach De Bankolé). Like an Edith Wharton novel, Chocolat appropriates the conventions of a romance plot to comment on restrictive social structures, specifically the complexities of a colonial system that simultaneously dehumanizes and hypersexualizes the colonized, while also degrading the colonizer. It’s brilliantly executed—a story told completely in small but significant gestures.
Reviewers who have deemed “unnecessary” the framing device involving the adult France have completely misread Chocolat, I think. While there is much to recommend in the film—Agnes Godard’s cinematography, the many fine performances, and Denis’s typically seductive pacing, to name just a few—Denis’s handling of the film’s subjective perspective is what differentiates this film from other earnest and well-intentioned examinations of racism and/or colonialism. (There is probably room here for a discussion of the differences between Michael Ondaatje’s novel, The English Patient, and Anthony Minghella’s also-good but differently-focused film adaptation, but I’ll save that for another day.)
Take, for example, the most significant of Chocolat‘s many small gestures: the moment when the mother reaches slowly from her position on the floor to touch Protée’s calf. It’s a perfectly staged sequence, more charged and transgressive than anything imagined in a typical Hollywood sex scene. And Protée’s reaction retains its mystery and shock even on a second viewing. But who is “remembering” this moment? Although Denis’s camera shoots from the vantage point of the young France, three feet or so from the floor, France is not in the room. She could not have witnessed this event, and so we are left to answer any number of questions: Who is telling this story? From what evidence is she reconstructing her narrative? How does something so subjective as memory (not to mention love, faith, and power) distort our understanding of history, both personal and political.
Near the end of Chocolat, France is told by her father, “The closer you get to [the horizon], the farther it moves. You see the line, but it doesn’t exist.” It’s one of those movie lines that screams significance. But recognizing the metaphor as metaphor and unpacking it are very different tasks, and I’m finding the latter a pleasant and surprising challenge. The most banal reading might be something like, “the line that separates the races is culturally-determined and, therefore, surmountable.” There’s nothing in the film to suggest such a rose-colored reading, however, and, really, the film would be dishonest crap if there were. Or, the father’s line might be exploded into some universal platitude about the hopeless quest for understanding. “No matter how hard we search, Truth always remains just out of reach.” But Chocolat is too grounded in specific historical conditions to be reduced to a platitude.
The horizon metaphor begins to find its shape, I think, in juxtaposition with another scene: the moment when the mother reprimands her cook, who speaks in badly broken English. “Enoch, I don’t understand any of what you’re saying,” she tells him. (I can’t comment on the original release of the film, but the DVD wisely leaves the African languages untranslated.) I have always wished that someone would film Nadine Gordimer’s July’s People, but Chocolat has made any effort to do so redundant, for at their core both are about the colonizer’s desire to understand the colonized, a desire that is human and noble, on one hand, but too disfigured by power and history to be anything more than patronizing. This is how Gordimer describes the terrifying moment when her heroine, Maureen Smales, recognizes that she is caught in such a trap with her servant, July:
How was she to have known, until she came here, that the special consideration she had shown for his dignity as a man, while he was by definition a servant, would become his humiliation itself, the one thing that was to say between them that had any meaning.
But—and this is important—unlike the end of July’s People, which is a story of revolution, Chocolat does offer some portent of hope. The film ends, once again, in the present day. France has hitched a ride from the black man whom she first spotted swimming in the ocean, and whom she soon discovers is actually an American immigrant. This revelation once again recontextualizes Chocolat‘s opening image, calling into question the validity of France’s perspective. (Had she imagined herself witnessing some timeless ritual of real black African life? Did this fantasy put her in closer communion with her mother? With an imagined version of her mother?) Denis, who also spent much of her childhood in colonial Africa, clearly sympathizes with France’s plight. Her desire to understand, to write narratives that discover the human in inhumane circumstances, is noble, is essential, even if fraught with ambiguities and unavoidable landmines.
The final image in Chocolat is another long static shot, the frame divided in half once again by the horizon. Three black men smoke and laugh as an unexpected burst of rain passes through. France is gone, but somehow we have retained her (its) perspective. Denis leaves the camera running for several minutes, inviting us to understand these men, or, at least, fostering in us the desire to do so.

Bags of personal protective equipment – including facemasks, gloves and hand sanitizer – made their way to Wartburg from Concordia’s School of Health Sciences and Nursing today. Concordia College and Wartburg have been neighbors, friends and partners for a long time, and an inquiry from Wartburg president and CEO Dr. David Gentner to President Nunes brought quick action from Concordia.
Wartburg offers integrated, comprehensive senior care services on its 34-acre campus in Mount Vernon, and has taken extraordinary measures to keep its community safe during this time, following strict infection control and prevention guidelines. Dr. Karen Bourgeois, Dean of Concordia’s School of Health Sciences and Nursing said: “Everyone caring for vulnerable populations needs these supplies now. Concordia’s shift to remote learning means our nursing labs are closed, and we are so happy these items are being put to good use.”
Thomas Lamb, Wartburg’s Senior Director of Planning and Real Estate, made the quick trip to campus to pick up the supplies from Dr. Bourgeois. “We really, really appreciate what you’ve given us,” said Lamb as he rushed to get the items back to Wartburg.

Científicos describen por primera vez la microbiota de la placa dentobacteriana preservada en esqueletos ancestrales de más de 1,000 años de antigüedad.
Resumen: Una ‘Pompeya microbiana’ fue descubierta, conservada en dientes de esqueletos que datan de alrededor de un milenio. El equipo de investigadores descubrió que la cavidad oral ancestral albergaba patógenos oportunistas y que la enfermedad periodontal era causada por las mismas especies que la causan en la actualidad, a pesar de los importantes cambios en la dieta y la higiene bucal. “El estudio de los microbiomas ancestrales nos ayuda a entender la historia evolutiva de la salud y la enfermedad en los seres humanos”, dijo uno de los autores principales del trabajo. Este estudio tiene implicaciones relevantes sobre el entendimiento de la evolución del microbioma oral humano y sobre los orígenes de la enfermedad periodontal. En la actualidad, la enfermedad periodontal moderada y severa, afecta a más del 10% de la población mundial y está ligada a varias condiciones sistémicas de importancia como las enfermedades cardiovasculares, pulmonares y la diabetes mellitus tipo 2.
Scientists describe for the first time, the microbiota of dental plaque preserved on ancient skeletons dating back over 1,000 years.
Summary: A ‘microbial Pompeii’ has been discovered, preserved on the teeth of skeletons around 1,000 years old. The research team discovered that the ancient human oral cavity carries numerous opportunistic pathogens and that periodontal disease is caused by the same bacteria today as in the past, despite major changes in human diet and hygiene. “The study of ancient microbiomes helps us understand the evolutionary history of human health and disease,» says a senior author of the study. This study has significant implications for understanding the evolution of the human oral microbiome and the origins of periodontal disease. Today, moderate to severe periodontal disease affects more than 10 percent of the world’s population and is linked to a series of systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease and type 2 diabetes.
An international team of researchers have discovered a ‘microbial Pompeii’ preserved on the teeth of skeletons around 1,000 years old. The key to the discovery is the dental calculus (plaque) which preserves bacteria and microscopic particles of food on the surfaces of teeth, effectively creating a mineral tomb for microbiomes.
The research team discovered that the ancient human oral cavity carries numerous opportunistic pathogens and that periodontal disease is caused by the same bacteria today as in the past, despite major changes in human diet and hygiene.
The researchers discovered that the ancient human oral microbiome already contained the basic genetic machinery for antibiotic resistance more than eight centuries before the invention of the first therapeutic antibiotics in the 1940s. As well as health information, the scientists recovered dietary DNA from ancient dental calculus, allowing the identification of dietary components, such as vegetables, that leave few traces in the archaeological record.
Led by the University of Zürich, the University of Copenhagen, and the University of York, this pioneering analysis of ancient oral microbiome ecology and function involved the contributions of 32 scientists at twelve institutions in seven countries.
The research published in Nature Genetics reveals that unlike bone which rapidly loses much of its molecular information when buried, calculus grows slowly in the mouth and enters the soil in a much more stable state helping it to preserve biomolecules. This enabled the researchers, led by Dr Christina Warinner, to analyze ancient DNA that was not compromised by the burial environment.
They applied shotgun DNA sequencing to dental calculus for the first time. They reconstructed the genome of a major periodontal pathogen and produced possibly the first genetic evidence of dietary biomolecules to be recovered from ancient dental calculus.
Analyzing this wealth of data required overcoming the formidable bioinformatics challenge of sorting and identifying millions of genetic sequences like puzzle pieces in order to reconstruct the complex biology of the ancient oral microbiome.
«Dental calculus is a window into the past and may well turn out to be one of the best-preserved records of human-associated microbes,» says Professor Christian von Mering, an author of the study and Group Director at the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, which performed the bioinformatics analysis Professor Matthew Collins, of the University of York, said: «We knew that calculus preserved microscopic particles of food and other debris but the level of preservation of biomolecules is remarkable. A microbiome entombed and preserved in a mineral matrix, a microbial Pompeii.»
Dr Warinner, of the University of Zurich and the University of Oklahoma, added: «Dental calculus acts both as a long-term reservoir of the oral microbiome and as a trap for dietary and environmental debris. This allows us to investigate health and disease, as well as reconstruct aspects of an individual’s life history and activities. Never before have we been able to retrieve so much information from one small sample.»
The study has wide reaching implications for understanding the evolution of the human oral microbiome and the origins of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease causes distinctive proteomic changes in the dentition and is characterized by chronic inflammation resulting in tooth and bone loss. Dr. Enrico Cappellini of the University of Copenhagen, a senior author of the study, describes the dental calculus analyzed in this study as a kind of «battlefield archaeological site, just at the molecular scale.»
Today, moderate to severe periodontal disease affects more than 10% of the world’s population and is linked to diverse systemic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, pulmonary disease, and type II diabetes. Although common in humans, domestic pets, and zoo animals, periodontal disease does not typically develop in wild animals, leading to speculation that it is an oral microbiome disease resulting from modern human lifestyles.
«As we learn more about the evolution of this microbiome in response to migration and changes in diet, health and medicine, I can imagine a future in which most archaeologists regard calculus as more interesting than the teeth themselves,» says Prof. Collins.
«The study of ancient microbiomes helps us understand the evolutionary history of human health and disease,» says Prof. Frank Rühli, a senior author of the study and Head of the Centre for Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Zürich. «It informs modern medicine.»

Pathogens and host immunity in the ancient human oral cavity. Nat Genet 2014. doi:10.1038/ng.2906.
Journal abstract: Calcified dental plaque (dental calculus) preserves for millennia and entraps biomolecules from all domains of life and viruses. We report the first, to our knowledge, high-resolution taxonomic and protein functional characterization of the ancient oral microbiome and demonstrate that the oral cavity has long served as a reservoir for bacteria implicated in both local and systemic disease. We characterize (i) the ancient oral microbiome in a diseased state, (ii) 40 opportunistic pathogens, (iii) ancient human–associated putative antibiotic resistance genes, (iv) a genome reconstruction of the periodontal pathogen Tannerella forsythia, (v) 239 bacterial and 43 human proteins, allowing confirmation of a long-term association between host immune factors, ‘red complex’ pathogens and periodontal disease, and (vi) DNA sequences matching dietary sources. Directly datable and nearly ubiquitous, dental calculus permits the simultaneous investigation of pathogen activity, host immunity and diet, thereby extending direct investigation of common diseases into the human evolutionary past.

A new range of dual-purpose mixer wagons with integrated bedding systems was showcased by Kuhn Farm Machinery at last week’s AgriScot event in Edinburgh.
Kuhn’s Profile Plus range of twin-auger total mixed ration (TMR) mixer wagons, comes in four different models, all containing an integrated bedding system.
All models come with a narrow body design to enable them to be used in both old and new farm buildings, as well as a number of the same features seen on the firm’s standard Profile 70 series of vertical auger mixer wagons.
These include a low loading height, compact external dimensions, right or left feed discharge door and a three-point electronic weighing system as standard.
The Profile Plus range also features a front mounted straw-blowing turbine driven by Kuhn’s patented Polydrive system. This enables it to throw 600kg of bedding material to a distance of 18 metres in 4.5 minutes.
The new range is available in four different capacities – 15, 16, 18 and 20m3.
All models use two independent vertical augers to mix a range of feedstuffs, with adjustable counter-knives giving the ability to cut fibrous material to a pre-determined length.
Kuhn said: “The small diameter augers reduce the range’s power requirement, with the 15m3 Profile Plus 1570 compatible with 80 horsepower tractors.”
Optional extras available include a tilting feed conveyor and swivelling straw-blowing chutes.
Kuhn’s UK sales manager, Duncan McLeish, said: “The Profile Plus range shares many of the features found on our established range of Euromix wagons. Key features such as the adjustable counter-knives, electronic weighing system and customisable feed-out options enable cows to be fed consistently and accurately, while the integrated straw-blower adds to the range’s overall versatility and value for money, making the Profile Plus perfect for the majority of modern dairy and beef farming enterprises.”
He said prices started at £41,034 for the 15m3 Profile Plus 1570, rising to £43,687 for the 20m3 Profile Plus 2070.

Delany tells players: 'Think before you act'
LINCOLN, Neb. — Big Ten football players received a message straight from the top about how they carry themselves as college athletes.
Commissioner Jim Delany wrapped up a tour of all 12 of the conference's preseason football camps, making stops Thursday at Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, all in less than 12 hours.
Before the Cornhuskers hit the practice field, Delany delivered the same message to players that he did during other campus visits the past three weeks.
He told them they are on a "big stage" and that they need to be smart and think before they act.
