Dining on vacation
Top 10 meals I’ve ever had in my life. Service was outstanding for upscale casual :-) dessert was perfect
Excelente restaurante! Precios, alimentos, servicio y ambiente! Muy recomendable
Great food and vibe! Interesting end to our dinner as they began closing up the restaurant around us at 10:30pm.
Fun vibe. Had a great time. Food, cocktails and service were terrific.
Truly excellent service. A manager noticed that our water bottle looked like it wasn’t very cold, so he replaced it. Both he and our waiter checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good. They weren’t annoying about it, just nicely attentive.
My son and I had pizzas. They were very good, but I’d try something different next time. And, when I’m in town again, I’d love to go bank.
We've lived in this neighborhood for quite some time, and somehow, we never went to this restaurant.....but we'll be back soon. Authentic Italian service, homemade pasta, fantastic service and nice vibe!
The restaurant and staff were so accommodating to a last minute thunder storm reservation.
Great food! We’ll be back!
I have been eating here for 10 years and I’ll keep going here as long as they stay open. The service is wonderful, the food is always delicious and the back room is magical. It is a proper place to congregate, share food, laugh and decompress. Order everything and leave room for dessert <3
The bolognese was AMAZING. 10/10 and they even have GF options.
Emporio never ever disappoints. One of my all time favorites.
Had so much fun and would recommend Emporio to anyone! Also, the espresso martini is a must
Authentic Italian food in a very pleasant atmosphere.
Tuscan kale salad and best pizza
Traveled here from west coast, seeing old friends after many years away!!!
This is always my “go to” restaurant, it’s always delicious!!!
It was a nice place! Service was really fast and it was delicious food. It was quite loud, but you could tell the energy was happy and exciting! A fun place to be, with a very pretty ambiance!
My dining partner is gluten-free, we ordered the gluten-free pizza. It definitely was contaminated with gluten and she was horribly sick. Terrible.
I’ve been coming to emporio for years. It’s been a special spot for me and my partner. We’ve come here for anniversaries and dinner with friends and just to have a seat at the bar. While the food is consistently good, the ambiance has changed a lot since our last visit (prior to covid). I remember the space being very intimate and not too noisy, but this time it felt like a beer hall. I took my family here since they were visiting the city and we could barely hold a conversation. It felt like we had to rush through dinner in order to get a reprieve from the loud dining room space. I was extremely surprised by this. Service was not as good as it usually is either. They didn’t bring my brother a refill on his drink until after the dinner was over and they could have been more attentive. I also found the waiter quite dismissive. I complained about the noise level once to him and he said he would tell the manager but no change was attempted or apology conveyed. He also didn’t really seem to pay much attention to our table. In fairness, it seemed like the restaurant was understaffed. In light of this, I doubt we will be making a return to emporio.
Food was delicious and staff very attentive!
Croquettes were outstanding and pizza and meatballs were great.
Amazing birthday dinner for my sister’s 30th! They made it so special, gave us the table we wanted and presented the most delicious tiramisu for dessert!
The food was BELLISIMA! So delicious, every dish. Love
this spot and will definitely be back☺
Wonderful brick and wood soft surroudings. But the food is the star. Every dish is delicious, well seasoned.
I’ve been going to this restaurant for many years, and I’ve always loved it. Last night was quite disappointing. I need to take the group of six people and it took over 30 minutes to get a drink water if you get our night started. We had three different waiters All pleasant, however the service was not seamless. I have to understand the teacher post pandemic times and that it’s difficult getting stuff right now, So I have to give it a pass.
We ordered the duck and a steak, both which were overcooked, two of our guests ordered the chicken which was massive in size, hence not as tender as I recall. However I will go back in the near future in hopes that there been improvements.
Nice setting tasty food. Large space in soho.
The ambiance was great. Natural light came in from an overhead window. However, we waited over 40 minutes for our main courses to come out. Then, they charged $30 instead of the list price of $22 for two of the meals.
Very nice ambience, and the food is good but MUCH too salty. The squid ink paccheri was rubbery but the taste was good though overwhelmed by salt. The burrata ravioli with porcini also quite good but much too salty. Kale salad outstanding, heirloom tomato appetizer good but not terribly eventful. Affogato dessert was quite good as well. Service was good at first then they ignored us and we were among the only diners. Go figure.
Every dish was incredible— fresh, top-notch ingredients.
One of my favorite restaurants in NYC!
I go with every friend and family member who comes to town.
Best gluten free pizza in nyc!!! Excellent dishes overall and nice wine list. Highly recommend for casual and great vibes
Unbelievable. All the food was delicious and wait staff friendly.
Good wine and food - the Squid ink pasta was amazing!
Loving it since years & best meatballs ever.
This is one of my kids’ favorite Italian restaurant. We had early Mother’s Day dinner with my mom in law. Food was excellent. Service was efficient. We were very happy with the experience.
The staff is great and food delicious. The outside dinning is a little cramped. There is a nice skylight lit back eating area that will be great once most of us are vaccinated.
Great service and wine recommendation to complement the delectable food we know so well! Always a great meal here!
Great as always! One of the top spots for Italian in Manhattan
I have to change my review as it's now been a couple of times I went there and was rushed to eat to the point where you can't relax and enjoy your dinner.
If it was a fast food joint I would get it but this absolutely isn't.
Beware that your reservation is for only 1 hour and a half... that's completely inappropriate for a restaurant trying to serve a quality meal.
The staff really makes you feel that you have to hurry. Extremely uncomfortable.
Had the most fantastic birthday dinner for my boyfriend. Party of 10 was accommodated with quick, helpful, and amazing service. The ambiance of the restaurant is second to none. Not to mention, every plate we got was incredible! Highly recommend Emporio for any occasion. We’ve been there with just a party of 2. Same result, super happy!

Lidl Malta removes German meat following E. coli outbreaks
The Lidl Supermarkets in Malta has made a decision to remove all German meat products in an attempt to avoid a spread of the deadly E. coli bacteria in Malta.
There has been some worries following the news that several French children was hospitalised after eating the “Steak Country” burgers bought from Lidl shops. The meat could have come from Germany according to several manufactureres. The youngest of these children were only 20 months old and they had been eaten defrosted hamburgers. These burgers were made by the French company SEB who claimed the meat is taken from animals from three different countries and then processed in France.
Following checks from the health authorities at Lidl Malta, these products was questioned and later on removed from the shelves. This was a decision based on descriptions from the Lidl Europe-wide, as stated to the Times of Malta by the environmental health director John Attard Kingswell.
This E. coli outbreak has killed 39 people in total, all of them residing in Germany with the exception of one person in Sweden who had just visited Germany.

12 Years A Slave
12 Years A Slave Notwithstanding its Hans Zimmer score. And an Italian banner that broadly attempted to sell it as a Brad Pitt activity film, A forlorn subjugation journal lovely mounted by Steve ‘Yearning’ McQueen. Was completely liberated from foot pursues, blasts and different fireworks. Novice Lupita Nyong’o won an Oscar. For her portrayal of forbearing slave young lady Patsy. Helping her to a Star Wars compartment en route. Yet Chiwetel Ejiofor was our serious and periodically distrusting channel through. A world in which pitilessness was really revered in law. The Zimmer score. Loaded with frequenting strings, wasn’t awful by the same token.
Under The Skin
Never one to precisely slam them out, Jonathan Glazer’s battles to present to Michel Faber’s apparently unfilmable novel to the screen brought. About an extended advancement measure in any case landed him the ideal lead entertainer. Swings and Glasgow traffic circles. At that point, since it was Scarlett Johansson who at last jumped out of Hollywood to cruise all over Ibrox in a van for half a month – and you wouldn’t get such a large number of celebrities in a Ford Transit. She made an iridescent, curious outsider attempting to fold her extra-earthbound noggin over the idea of the human spirit, Tommy Cooper and Glasgow’s befuddling ring streets. Ghostly and at times awkward. This was a somewhat science fiction somewhat street film where each languorous second consumed another permanent picture or bumping soundscape onto the psyche.
Despite a radiant abandon Dan “damn. He’s somewhat dishy” Stevens as a pleasantly unhinged outsider/eliminator at the entryway – just as a stellar soundtrack, noteworthy supporting cast and some smooth activity set-pieces from You’re Next man Adam Wingard – just six individuals and a canine really saw The Guest in films. With its U.S. run procuring just $285,845 (the canine purchased a great deal of tickets). You’d think seeing Downton Abbey’s hottest specialist with a major firearm would be sufficient for American crowds, however it was not to be, leaving the suspenseful thrill ride/repulsiveness parody ready to turn into a religion exemplary. ดูหนัง hd

Fall play solves the case of the disappearing stage
By Maria Jasen, Current Staff
Even a master sleuth needs a helping hand, and the Drama Club’s fall production of Sherlock Holmes found its Watson on a local hill.
With the high school auditorium out of commission due to renovations, the drama students had to find another place to host the production. Luckily, UW-Washington County came through—and offered the use of their Theatre on the Hill, free of charge. Continue reading

Usually when we hear about crazy fan tattoos, it’s one of the many people who have the utmost confidence in their team that they go out and getting a Super Bowl winning tattoo.
This is not one of those times.
Prior to Thursday’s preseason game between the Patriots and New York Giants, WBZ-TV’s Scott Sullivan shared a picture of some fan’s outrageous tattoo that was located on his calf.
That is just all types of weird.

Four of the nation’s top five teams took the court in Chicago this week, and the two that were victorious have rightfully found themselves at the top of CBT’s latest top 25. Michigan State slides into the top spot after knocking off then-No. 1 Kentucky, while Kansas jumps up to second with their win over Duke.
Any questions? Concerns? Commentary on why I hate your team and love your rival? Get at me in the comments below.
1. Michigan State (3-0): The win over Columbia was ugly, but it was still a win, one that came on the heels of the Spartans beating Kentucky, who was the No. 1 team in the country.
2. Kansas (3-0): The buzz was about Jabari Parker and Julius Randle after the Champions Classic, but Wiggins was the only one to leave with a win.
3. Kentucky (3-1): Julius Randle posted his fourth straight double-double as Kentucky bounced back with a beatdown of Robert Morris. I still think the Wildcats will be the best team in the country in two months.
4. Louisville (3-0): Chane Behanan’s back. So is Luke Hancock. Hofstra and Cornell learned that the hard way.
5. Duke (2-1): It’s tough to ding the Blue Devils too much for a loss to Kansas.
6. Arizona (3-0): The Wildcats picked up a nice road win over San Diego State Thursday. The best team no one is talking about.
8. Oklahoma State (3-0): The Cowboys have steamrolled three nobodys. They’ll get a real test Tuesday against Memphis.
9. Syracuse (3-0): The Orange have yet to look dominant, but they are 3-0 on the season. They’ll play Minnesota on November 25th.
10. Wisconsin (3-0): I’m not sure anyone in the country has three better wins than the Badgers: St. John’s, Florida and at UW-Green Bay.

New coach Bradford begins work with Tigers
Published 4:29 pm Friday, June 13, 2014
Brian Bradford is looking forward to “keeping the winning tradition” as the new Chilton County High School football coach.
Bradford will take the place of former coach, Donnie Hand, who has coached the Tigers’ football team for the past three years.
On top of his coaching responsibilities, Bradford will also serve as the athletic director.
He has been on the field training and coaching the Tigers, but will not be officially hired until the Chilton County Board of Education makes the final decision on Tuesday, June 17.
In addition to Bradford, there will be three returning assistant coaches. Deon Timmons, Phil Kamerer and Joe Jennings will join efforts with Bradford to coach the CCHS team. Bradford shared that more assistant coaches may be added after the Board of Education meeting.
The 38-year-old coach spent the last nine years as the offensive coordinator at Stanhope-Elmore, the high school from which he graduated.
Prior to his position at Stanhope-Elmore, he also served as offensive coordinator for Sacs High School and East-Limestone High School.
Bradford’s experience at the Class 6A competition level will be beneficial to the Tigers since Chilton County High makes the move to Class 6A this year.
CCHS has competed at the Class 5A level in recent years, but will officially rise to the Class 6A level in the 2014-15 school year.
The Tigers have made it to the state playoffs six out of eight previous seasons, and Bradford strives to uphold Chilton County’s victorious record.
“Right now, we are still evaluating the talent and figuring out who’s going to be where,” said Bradford. “We’re a little bit behind schedule since I wasn’t here in time for spring training, but we are making up for it with summer practices.”
Bradford was introduced at the Gridiron Club meeting on Tuesday, June 10.
He said that the Gridiron Club is also planning a meet-and-greet event so that he has the opportunity to get to know the parents of his players.
Despite the late start on training, Bradford is anticipating a successful season.
“We have a lot of good talent and should be able to do some great things on the field,” Bradford said.
In addition to physical talent, Bradford also sees the importance in discipline and respect from his players.
“Having good sportsmanship will be a main priority for us too. The boys have to have integrity over anything else,” Bradford said.
Summer workouts are well underway, focusing on strength, agility and learning plays.
The Tigers have plans of attending a July football camp in Wetumpka, and other plans for 7-on-7 practice games and summer camps are being made.
“Making the leap to 6A is a big deal, and my job is to prepare them for the competition they will be up against,” Bradford said. “We will be working to bring home some championships.”

Eleven referees from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) and Nigeria National League (NNL) have been summoned by the Nigeria Referees Association to a referees’ hearing committee following their questionable performances on the pitch, thesportsbay.com reports.
It will be noted that during the season, some referees have been reprimanded for dubious actions while carrying out their duties.
Now, a new set of match officials have been summoned before the referee committee which is slated to hold at the Conference Hall of the Nigeria Football Federation headquarters, in Abuja, on Friday, May 19.
NPFL referees facing possible sanctions are Ogarbor Joseph and Samuel Pwadutakan for their performances during the Rivers United vs Bayelsa United game.
Others to face possible sanctions are Kosoko Sikiru and Ismaila Abubakar for the way they handled the Kwara United vs Nasarawa United clash.
The NNL whistle men to face sanctions are Sunny Chibendu, Gabriel Otolorin, Abu Danzaria (Referees Assessor), Shaarni Guza, Jamilu Abdullahi and Garba Hamza for their roles in the Vandrezzer vs Warri Wolves, Ijebu United vs Crown FC, Jigawa Golden Stars vs Katsina United and Yobe Desert Stars vs DMD FC games respectively.
It will be recalled that prior to the kickoff of the NPFL, Gbenga Elegbeleye, the Interim Management Committee (IMC) chairman advocated for the prompt payments to referees and match commissioners while pushing for enhanced security and monitoring systems, robust investigations into any suspicious activities, and the enforcement of severe penalties for those found guilty of match-fixing.

Will the summers heat out perform the wonderwood. Pro's /Cons. Thanks for your input
Pros for the 13:
EPA clean burn technology. More heat with less wood and chimney accumulations.
Glass door view of the fire. Not only for ambiance but for controlling the burn.
Heavier steel firebox.
Larger wood capacity.
Cons: No bimetallic thermostat.
From what I gather the summers heat is the better of the two stoves?
The 13 is cleaner burning than the wonderwood, The 13 would be top vent.
Other than for a garage I have never like Circulator stoves, they are EPA exempt (cook on top loophole) and have been known to be creosote factories.
The Englander/Summer's Heat is American made of American parts. I doubt that is the case with the US Stove. My US Stove furnace has a lot of 'China' stamped and cast into pieces.
The 13 does have a pretty stiff R value required for the hearth. The Wonderwood gives a K factor, which you'll have to convert. The Wonderwood manual also gives a crazy (25") clearance requirement for the connector pipe.
Then considering the whole EPA, clean burning thing, the two really aren't comparable other than price.
Alternatively I would check out the True North TN19 by PE. It has a square firebox and easy hearth requirements.
hmmmmm, which way would i go . . . .
Picked up my new NC-13 on Saturday thanks guys!
Here's yer shirt.
Good decision! And one of the quickest I've seen here...
yeah, i'd have went that way too
Hillbilly, welcome to the ESW family, let me know if i can answer any questions you may have (provided the members here don't beat me to it like they usually do <chuckle>)
its a great little stove , im sure its going to make you happy
I've used my NC-13 now for 12-15 fires... All I can say is WOW! I would recommend this stove to anybody, it has outperformed our old stove 10-1.
The 13 is an awesome heater.

Big Red helped propel the Big Ten men’s basketball tournament to a new attendance record in Indianapolis.
But not the Big Red most Hoosiers would think.
The biggest factor was the addition of Nebraska, which came to the Big Ten from the Big 12 conference this year. That’s right, Nebraska.
Not that Cornhuskers hoops is a huge draw. Rather, the addition of a 12th team meant six sessions this year instead of five. Tickets are purchased and counted separately for each session.
Thursday’s session now has two sessions with two games each. Previously, Thursday had one session featuring three games.
Nevertheless, conference and local tourism officials were thrilled with attendance of 107,737, smashing last year’s 86,767 and the Big Ten tournament record in Indianapolis of 94,402 set in 2002.
Take away the 17,125 from the sixth session—the championship game—and the five session total this year was 90,612.
That’s still a strong turnout. Tournament attendance hadn’t topped 90,000 here since 2006.
This year’s per-session attendance average—17,956—was second-highest in the tournament’s history in Indianapolis. Per-session attendance in 2006 was 18,152.
But the Hoosiers resurgence—along with a strong Purdue team—should get some of the credit this year. Consider, when the Hoosiers were at their lowest in 2009, attendance was a paltry 68,098 for a per-session average of 13,620.
The predicted economic impact for the tournament was $11.2 million, based on previous years’ attendance.
Downtown merchants reported stronger sales this year during the four-day tournament, and there’s reason to believe the impact could have surpassed $12 million.


Outside the Box: Pilgrims' progress was slow but Jack got them up at last
Figures compiled by the League Managers Association suggest that the current average length of tenure for a manager is three years, 11 months in the Premier League; 17 months in both the Championship and League One; and 26 months in League Two.
All of which makes it the more remarkable that if Sir Alex Ferguson is still in position at Manchester United come August, he will be among the top dozen longest-serving managers of all time with one club. According to the LMA's records, his 28th season at Old Trafford will put him joint 10th with Brighton's Charles Webb (1919-47) and Bob Jack, who held the reins at Plymouth Argyle from 1910-38.
Jack was a fellow Scot, whose team set a record by finishing runners-up in the Third Division South for a frustrating six consecutive years (1922-27). These days he would probably have been sacked, but the Pilgrims' board, like United's in Ferguson's early days, held firm, and promotion was finally achieved in 1930.
His son David joined Bolton from Plymouth and in 1923 scored the first FA Cup final goal at Wembley, later playing for Arsenal and England. However, even Fergie may struggle to match Fred Everiss, who was in charge of West Bromwich Albion as secretary-manager from 1902-48.
Echo down the years
Words of wisdom from another great manager, the late Bill Shankly, were always sought after, and a collection from his earliest days at Liverpool has now been published as Shankly: The Lost Diary (Trinity Mirror Sport Media, £9.99).
It's based on a weekly series he contributed to the Liverpool Echo starting in May 1962, which he intended "to maintain interest in football in Liverpool and district during the close season". As his team had just won promotion back to the First Division, where they would join the next champions, Everton, interest seems unlikely to have been in short supply.
A bout turn by troll
Since last week's item about rival Sheffield United and Wednesday fans contesting a welterweight bout at the Don Valley Stadium, another Sheffield pugilist with football connections has been making news.
Curtis Woodhouse, the former United captain who turned to professional boxing, was bitterly upset at losing his English light-welterweight title to Lancashire's Shayne Singleton on a disputed points decision, and did not have his mood improved by abuse from a Twitter troll, who called him "a complete disgrace". He used Twitter to discover the troll's address and announced that he was on his way round before his arch-critic suddenly – and understandably – backed off with a weasly tweet or two about "a bit of harmless fun".
Five go off in a strop
Having had last Sunday's Ryman League match against Thurrock abandoned because five of their players were sent off (in separate incidents), Wingate & Finchley can hardly have been surprised that the result has been confirmed as a 1-0 defeat, which was the score at the time. And the name of the League secretary investigating the case? Ms Kellie Discipline.
Coaches' sharp practice
As the theme tune to the 1980s children's TV series Jossy's Giants (written by the late darts commentator Sid Waddell) used to claim, "Football's just a branch of science". Here to prove it is the Science + Football conference at the London Soccerdrome (adjacent to the O2) next weekend.
Speakers addressing the theme "intelligent coaches produce intelligent footballers" will include the former England coach Steve McClaren, Manchester United's head of sports science, Chelsea's head of international scouts and Liverpool's director of performance analysis.

At the high end of the brazing range, it is more fluid.
Best results are obtained with clearances of 0.001-0.003″.
Melting of PhosCopper 2 is virtually complete at 1300°F (704°C).
Best results are obtained when brazing slightly above this temperature.
Generally, the joint strength produced by PhosCopper 2 will surpass the strengths of the base metals.
Strength is a function of the base metals being joined, type of joint, design of joint, joint clearances and brazing procedures.
The recommended maximum operating temperatures for PhosCopper 2 are 300°F (continuous service) and 400°F (intermittent service).
Corrosion resistance is satisfactory except when the joint is in contact with sulfurous atmosphere (especially at elevated temperatures).
The phosphorus content of PhosCopper 2 acts as fluxing agent, and no flux is necessary when brazing copper joints.
However, when used with a copper alloy or one of the other brazeable metals, White Silver Flux must be used to promote wetting, bonding, and flow throughout the joint.
The flow point of PhosCopper 2 is 1300°F (704°C).

Gabry Ponte (Gabriele Ponte, born in Moncalieri on April 20, 1973 is an Italian DJ best known for his membership in the Italian dance group Eiffel 65. Ponte has been involved with the Bliss Team, DJ Gundam, and Sangwara. With Eiffel 65’s rise to fame in the late 1990s, his celebrity (or semi-celebrity) status was established, and he later went on to produce the Italian hits “Geordie” (a cover of Fabrizio de Andre’s song by the same name) and “La Danza delle Streghe.” Also to his credit are a number of remixes of popular dance songs such as Gianni Togni’s Giulia. In 2005, Ponte announced he would be separating from Eiffel 65 to pursue solo work. In 2007 he released a brand new EP, “Love Songs in the Digital Age According to Gabry Ponte” which includes the new track “the Point Of No Return”.
Gabry Ponte first started his career as a DJ at BlissCorporation in 1993, in late 1995 he started his own record label there known as Worldbus Records. The primary focus of the label was to remake current and past hit songs of other artists into modern dance tracks. Several of the label’s artists became some of BlissCorporation’s biggest, Full Sex, Karmah, Funktastica, and Sangwara, which Gabry Ponte was directly involved in. After three years Worldbus Records became Piranha Records and Gabry Ponte went on to create a song called “Blue (Da Ba Dee)”, at that point a normal BlissCorporation release under the label Skooby Records. The song became a hit in Italy and was the first from BlissCorporation to be released outside of Europe, from there it became a worldwide hit. The trio behind it, dubbed Eiffel 65, then produced an album called “Europop” which too became a large hit. 2 Albums, 10 singles, and 6 years later, Eiffel 65 parted ways and Gabry Ponte stayed with BlissCorporation to continue with his solo work, releasing a number of singles and staying active in Italy’s music scene.
SangwaraSangwara was one of the projects that was released under Gabry Ponte’s record label, Worldbus Records in the late 90s. It was the only one he was directly involved in and produced the most hits the label had to offer. Their first release was a cover of Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise”, which was well received in both Italy and Spain, followed by a remake of Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly”, which had also been recently remade by the Fugees. This track became one of Sangwara’s most well known and was made into a music video. This was followed by a release called “Bohemian Rhapsody”, a cover of Queen’s classic, also recently remade by The Braids. This release wasn’t such a big hit for them and is now hard to find as a result. In early 1997 they produced their fourth release and final cover, a remake of No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak”. This became Sangwara’s biggest hit and was released on CD throughout Europe. After being inactive for almost a year Sangwara recorded their final release, an original track titled “Find A Way” which was released with four remixes. It was at that time that Worldbus Records ceased existence, which may have contributed to Sangwara’s end. Over the 2 year career of Sangwara, its primary members, DJs Gabry Ponte and MTJ Capuano, and vocalist Claire Thomas, often paired up with various other people to make the releases. Jeffrey Jey sung vocals on two of their releases and Joe Fancey, an American rapper, on one. Simone Pastore, of Da Blitz was also one of many well known figures from BlissCorporation to lend his hand in the production and mixing stages. Ultimately Sangwara was Gabry Ponte’s big entrance into the world of music.

Let us start with what makes me unhappy comrades. This undiscovered bridge called language or rather mother tongue. The life of the artist, poet, writer who communicates the eternal heartbeat of the people. The working class experiment. Anticipatory nostalgia for the past.
The fees must fall campaign that is wreaking terrifying havoc on campuses across South Africa. It’s not pretty close up, and does your mental health no good no good to think this way all the time. This is a generation defining itself. One look. Hours of silence. The youth has the talking stick now not the leaders that we voted into power.
The trouble is I’m afraid we have to talk about human rights before it becomes a crime.
For too long this country has been dominated by its leaders, the ‘death’ of the liberation struggle (that internal and external war, or both). We’ve been dominated by sacrifice. The ones with political power but we also have shunned the baton that was given to ‘us’, the people.
The undercurrent in today’s politics is that we either turn a blind eye or go about our business. It’s a frustrating, useless affair bringing back memories of the past. Echoing Sharpville. Countrymen, we are in this together. The milk and honey of the rich, and that includes the poor. The liberal, and the working class man, woman, and child raised in the poverty of that environment.
Countrymen, I call on all of you now to concentrate and focus on the good things in South African history. Democracy anchored us, the will of freedom gave us inner strength, the power of reconciliation back (it reconciled people of different races, faiths), the Born Frees, Madiba magic, reconciliation, the African Renaissance (a term coined by ex-president Thabo Mbeki), and the Rainbow nation.
It seemed to erase all of the negative aspects that followed in the wake of CODESA (Convention for a Democratic South Africa) and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Let that become the anomaly rather than letting the broken be the anthem for what is wrong in society today. The individual still remains answerable to their wakeful conscience of the world around them.
The individual is the wheel. We decide what role negativity (that version of events colors the intellect, our daily lives, the psychological framework of our mind’s eye, and its capacity to think, to curb the inflow/flux of ideas).
So does the issue of the mainstream media out there (social media networks especially). It also plays havoc in our lives. It is poison.
The public persona of our leaders in government only serves to demonstrate our thought processes (we put them into power). We haven’t realised yet that the mighty vote is all-powerful. We can tell each other that till the end of time. We can tell each other that until we are all blue in the face.
We can say that we are still tarnished by the past but no one wants to live in the past anymore (it’s going out of style), certainly not the youth of today but we have all been marked by the past. We have been under the spell of its sinister, suspicious ways. It hasn’t declared all its damages (for example, emotional, physical) yet.
We are kidnapped by politics. Held hostage, but at the end of the day what remains is this. You direct your life, and it is a choice that ‘you’ must make everyday. We want to debate the political, its ‘rehearsal’, we want to maintain that life is a dress rehearsal, its drama but what remains, I repeat, what remains is family, communication (communication, connecting is profound but only once we start to accept each other, listen to each other, respect each other, and forgive), at the end of the day.
The reality is that the fury of the students at the universities must look like a complete nightmare to outsiders. The narrative is social cohesion. Sometimes we see glimpses of it, and when we do see it, experience it, our faith is somehow restored in that personal space of closure. How do we clean that mess up, how we now reconcile the past with the present. We must listen to understand, we must negotiate, tolerate inadequacies (but is the moral high ground, racism, and the discussion of social cohesion an inadequacy), and above all, we must forgive to move forward.
We must always concentrate and focus on the good things in South Africa’s history. It has brought us thus far through centuries of tumultuous despair and hardship. We are only to talk, before realizing with great difficulty the great divide between black and white. The haves and the have nots.
The people who change the way they think change the world. Change the people around them. Transforming society.
We shouldn’t look at President F.W. de Klerk as being the last white president of South Africa. We already should be thinking of equality.
Times have changed but there has always been this struggle within all of us to show up guarded and circumspect in the relationships that we have with people from a different faith, culture, and race. It still feels like I am navigating through the dark waiting for that tunnel of light to appear that will lead me home. South Africa is home. We shouldn’t be living the way we live now.
We are living in fear. We are living as if we are a broken nation in turmoil. At the end of the day we are inspired by flesh and blood. Our ‘flesh and blood’. This nation still gives me hope. This nation, South Africa with its hills and mountains is my sanctuary. I believe in her people. I must. I must let go of her past. To move forward I must surrender, regret nothing.
South Africa is a harsh place to live for some. We have forgotten how to relate to each other on the most basic levels. What connects us I believe is family. The dreams and goals parents’ have for their children. (As a writer) what I do with all the sadness sending waves into explosion, and the rage that searches for exposure is that I feel at the end of the day is I need to write about it. This, this is my fight song and I have a lot of fight left inside of me, and we are in the majority in South Africa.

Chief conductor Vasily Petrenko will head the annual White Nights concert and will also lead the RLPO in a performance of the Phil’s version of Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony.
There will also be a concert version of classic Lerner and Loewe musical My Fair Lady, and a night dedicated to the music of James Bond films.
The four-and-a-half week summer pops season also includes the popular Last Night of the Summer Pops, conducted by Carl Davis and this year featuring top British tenor Alfie Boe.
Andrew Cornall, the Phil’s executive director for orchestra and ensembles, said: “I hope there’s something that really appeals to everybody.”


On a regular basis between now and February 24, 2019, when the winners of the Academy Awards are announced, Vulture will consult its crystal ball to determine the changing fortunes in this year’s Oscars race. In our Oscar Futures column, we’ll let you in on insider gossip, parse brand-new developments, and track industry buzz to figure out who’s up, who’s down, and who’s currently leading the race for a coveted Oscar nomination.
A Star Is Born
Critics went into festival season Star Is Born–curious, and came out rah-rah-ing the remake, to the extent that Variety’s Kristopher Tapley pondered whether Star had a shot at winning Oscar’s “Big Five” (Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Screenplay), a feat that only three films have ever accomplished. That would obviously be an incredible achievement in every sense of the word, not least because the Academy has generally preferred to spread the wealth around in recent years. There’s still plenty of season left to go, though, and we’ll see if the movie’s momentum holds up when critics get to take another look at it.
Peter Farrelly’s solo debut didn’t have much of an awards profile going into the festivals, but pundits walked out of Green Book’s Toronto premiere hailing it as the next great liberal-humanist drama about interracial friendship, with Deadline’s Pete Hammond calling the film “basically a cross of Driving Miss Daisy, In the Heat of the Night, The Help, The Blind Side, [and] Hidden Figures.” The movie then capped off its surprise run by taking home the People’s Choice Award at Toronto, an honor that bodes well: The last ten English-language films to nab that prize all scored Best Picture nominations, with three of them winning. (Oddly enough, the last movie to take home the audience award at TIFF without earning a Best Picture nod was 2007’s Eastern Promises, which also starred Viggo Mortensen. Farrelly may be hoping he’s not cursed.)
BlacKkKlansman, Black Panther, The Favourite, First Man, Green Book, If Beale Street Could Talk, Roma, A Star Is Born, Widows
Alfonso Cuarón, Roma
Cuarón didn’t manage to take home the Best Director prize at Venice — The Sisters Brothers’ Jacques Audiard did — but I think he’s probably content with Roma winning the festival’s Golden Lion award. Early reviews have praised the director’s intensely personal vision and brilliant technical achievement, and GoldDerby currently has him towering above the field. Netflix covets Oscars, and Cuarón seems likely to get the strongest push from the streamer’s newly hired awards strategist Lisa Taback, who made her name running campaigns for Miramax and the Weinsteins.
Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born
Though the Star Is Born press tour might as well be calling itself “An Auteur Is Born,” consensus seems to be that Cooper’s best chance of picking up an Oscar lies in Best Actor. Still, it’s worth noting that history is on his side in this category: Stars like Robert Redford, Kevin Costner, and Mel Gibson all won for their directorial debuts without taking home an acting trophy.
Damien Chazelle, First Man; Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born; Alfonso Cuarón , Roma; Barry Jenkins, If Beale Street Could Talk; Spike Lee, BlacKkKlansman
Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born
That said, A Star Is Born really is an acting showcase for Cooper, who gets (or rather, gives himself) more to play than his predecessors in the role did. Variety’s Hapley effuses that “the lead actor Oscar race might be over and done with,” and even the few critics who weren’t as gaga over his arc, like Vulture’s Emily Yoshida, think his character’s “pill popping and wailing drunkenness … might be the ammunition that’s needed to get this often-nominated leading man his trophy.”
Willem Dafoe, At Eternity’s Gate
After he missed out on a Supporting Actor trophy for The Florida Project, this year brings another opportunity for Willem Dafoe to nab his first Oscar. The 63-year-old actor has scored some of the best reviews of his career for Julian Schnabel’s Vincent Van Gogh biopic, with Variety’s Owen Gleiberman calling it “his greatest role since Jesus Christ,” one that “allows him to combine agony and ecstasy, devotion to a higher calling with …well, a messiah complex.” Dafoe won the Best Actor prize at Venice, and he’ll hope to keep momentum going.
Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born; Willem Dafoe, At Eternity’s Gate; Ryan Gosling, First Man; Viggo Mortensen, Green Book; Robert Redford, The Old Man and the Gun
Lady Gaga, A Star Is Born
Gaga’s famous trailer wail was this season’s very first meme, and the moment plays even bigger in the movie itself. Critics at the festivals were happy to proclaim the birth of a new movie star, with our own David Edelstein calling Gaga “fresher and more believably real” than any of the three actresses who preceded her in the role. The singer was treated to a gigantic standing ovation at Venice, and she’s been careful to go meatless on this season’s red carpets, serving up old-school movie-star glam instead.
Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
After a string of poorly reviewed comedies, Can You Ever Forgive Me? is earning Melissa McCarthy her first Oscar buzz since Bridesmaids. She plays real-life writer Lee Israel, a biographer who turned to forging letters from the likes of Dorothy Parker and Noël Coward. “Deglamorized and dead serious, the star does get laughs along the way but this is a highly dramatic turn and she nails it in every way possible,” Deadline’s Hammond wrote at Telluride. Oscar loves a star who stretches themselves, and you can expect a season full of “Who knew she had this in her?” raves.
Glenn Close, The Wife; Viola Davis, Widows; Lady Gaga, A Star Is Born; Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me?; Saoirse Ronan, Mary, Queen of Scots
Best Supporting Actor
Richard E. Grant, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
As McCarthy’s alcoholic-layabout drinking buddy, Richard E. Grant is just as good in Can You Ever Forgive Me?, with THR’s Stephen Farber calling it “his best role in many years.” It’s a similar part to the actor’s breakout in Withnail & I, with the added decades selling what Deadline’s Hammond calls “a quintessential New York story [of] two lonely people, both who happen to be gay, brought together out of necessity in an unforgiving city.”
Mahershala Ali, Green Book
Green Book has a Champagne problem: Its two critically acclaimed actors are both leads, but the realities of Oscar season may demand they run in separate categories to avoid splitting the vote. Universal apparently hasn’t made a decision yet, but for now I’m assuming Mahershala Ali, who has a little less screen time, will end up in Supporting. It’s a slightly more fraught decision than usual, since Green Book is the latest in a long line of films about race written and directed by white guys: As Vanity Fair’s Richard Lawson writes, slotting Ali’s “deftly controlled performance” in the lesser category “would have more than a whiff of pointed, telling injustice.”
Mahershala Ali, Green Book; Timothée Chalamet, Beautiful Boy; Sam Elliott, A Star Is Born; Richard E. Grant, Can You Ever Forgive Me?; Michael B. Jordan, Black Panther
Best Supporting Actress
Olivia Colman, The Favourite
Another performance that could end up in lead, though since Colman is the least famous of The Favourite’s three ladies, I have a feeling she’ll end up in Supporting. (She did win Best Actress at Venice, but the festival doesn’t give out supporting-actor awards.) Colman’s profile has been steadily rising — she’s set to star in the next season of The Crown — and as the daffily irrelevant Queen Anne in Yorgos Lanthimos’s offbeat period piece, she gives what THR’s David Rooney calls “a towering performance” that “slowly uncovers the searing pathos beneath the crazy-lady makeup.” And speaking of The Crown …
Claire Foy, First Man
Colman’s predecessor picked up an Emmy last weekend for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth, and though the Television Academy and AMPAS don’t share too many members, as my own predecessor often said, it never hurts to be seen winning something. That Foy’s emotional work in First Man is miles from her inward, controlled performance on The Crown — and both are further worlds away from her turn in the new Lisbeth Salander movie, heavily advertised on the Emmys telecast — should only help voters appreciate her range.
Amy Adams, Vice; Olivia Colman, The Favourite; Claire Foy, First Man; Nicole Kidman, Boy Erased; Regina King, If Beale Street Could Talk

During global growth, companies need to not only maneuver labor requirements and culture challenges, but its leaders also need to understand how to manage an international accounting cycle. As a provider of international payroll, our team helps companies manage overseas employees salaries on time while meeting all of the nuances in each country. Payroll is a large part of a business’ accounting cycle.
A typical accounting cycle starts by recording transactions, including invoices, sales, or salary payments, with journal entries. These recordings are calculated on monthly and quarterly periods within the company’s fiscal year. Overall, the accounting cycle provides information about a company’s historical events and is subject to audits to ensure that all information is reported correctly and accurately represents a company’s cash flow.
Steps to an International Accounting Cycle
At the beginning of the cycle, your transactions occur. This is step one. Transactions include a sale, payment for a service, return of a product, payment to a contractor, etc. After the transaction occurs, it’s recorded as a journal entry by your team’s bookkeeper. This journal is typically organized in chronological order. Companies can have multiple “books” based on divisions, product segments, or locations, i.e., your international office.
Next, the transactions are posted to the appropriate account and appear in the company’s general ledger. This is a location where you can see the summary of all your accounts. At the end of the period, which is based on your business’ preferences, a trial balance is performed to ensure the credits and debits balance. Leave this step to the professionals. If your bookkeeper finds errors, they will adjust the errors using a worksheet.
Once all adjustments are made, your accountant will prepare your company’s financial statements, which includes your income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows. Then, you’ll close the books for the revenue and expenses accounts and start the process with zero balances.
International Accounting Regulations
In the US, we use the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as the standards for accounting rules. These apply to reporting requirements how a company’s financial statements are compiled.
When you’re operating overseas, most countries outside the US use the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). IFRS focuses more on principles than rules and takes the economics of a transaction into consideration.
There are many differences between the two standards, primarily surrounding inventory reporting. For companies seeking international expansion, the primary difference for you will be the treatment of intangible assets. Under GAAP, acquired intangible assets, including R&D, intellectual property, and brand recognition, are recognized at fair value, or what the market is willing to pay. IFRS only recognizes intangibles if the asset has a future economic value and can be measured.
International Payroll Accounting
International payroll is complicated due to the regulations set forth by each, individual country. Many businesses that expand overseas outsource international payroll to a third-party provider. This helps mitigate risk by putting compliance and tax requirements in the hands of a trusted expert.
For example, some countries charge VAT (value-added tax) for services rendered in-country and are typically applied to the entire invoice each month. In these cases, this is a required tax and cannot be avoided.
Velocity Global’s global payroll service helps you pay international employees properly and on-time. Without the burden of managing withholding requirements, your team can focus on strategy and further growth. Plus, your employees will stay happy knowing they can expect a consistent paycheck each month.

Brazil did not in any way resemble the magical 1970 team, England did not even manage to qualify for the 1974 World Cup, and Argentina had yet to rise as a footballing power. Nonetheless, the World Cup in West Germany became a benchmark for the sport. All because of Dutch total football.
Commandeered by football legend Johan Cruyff, after 36 years, the Dutch were in the World Cup again. And they returned in grand style: Nicknamed Clockwork Orange, the Dutch national side put in practice the concept of total football as it had never been seen before.
The tactic is considered bold even today, as players did not have fixed positions. Instead, all players could defend, attack, set up plays, and trade positions quickly and fluidly.
Of course, one needs above-average hardworking players to meet the highly technical and physical demands for the system to work. In addition to Cruyff, the team’s maestro, the Dutch had other big names such as Neeskens, Jansen, and Resembrink.
The Brains Behind Total Football
The mentor behind this was manager Rinus Michels, who had put together the almost unbeatable Ajax team of the early 70s. The results soon began to show the system’s efficiency in the 1974 World Cup.
They beat Uruguay 2-0 and Argentina 4-0 in the first round and the second, 2-0 victory over three-time winners Brazil. First, however, they would find a barrier (actually, a wall) in their way called Franz Beckenbauer.
Playing at home, the West Germans were booed by the home fans in the first round and took a while to get going. However, a victory over top scorer Lato’s impressive Poland, showing their strength, sealed their way into the final.
Nevertheless, Beckenbauer and his teammates were not favorites against the Netherlands.
In the six previous matches, the Netherlands had scored 14 goals and conceded only one, and as soon as the match started, they went into the attack with the Germans not getting so much as a whiff of the ball.
1974 World Cup Draw
During the ceremony in the main hall of Radio Hessen in Frankfurt, the German organizers chose an innocent hand to draw the teams. In spite of the political overtones, one of the Schöneberger Sängerknaben boys’ choir members from Berlin caused an uproar by putting the hosts, Germany FR (one of the seeded teams along with Brazil, Italy, and Uruguay), in the same group as the neighbouring German DR, perhaps the biggest shock of all such occasions.
The game went forward despite the political overtones and the GDR won 1-0 in Hamburg, although Germany won the cup in the end.
1974 World Cup Final
Cruyff broke from midfield and was fouled by Uli Hoeness in the area: penalty in the first minute. Neeskens took it and scored the first goal from the penalty spot in a World Cup final.
The Germans, however, did not give up. They had beaten a magical team in a World Cup soccer final before, even after their opponents took the lead. Twenty years earlier, Puskas’s Hungary had been the victim. In 1974, it was Holland and Cruyff’s turn.
Therefore, Captain Franz Beckenbauer lifted the new 1974 World Cup trophy, as the Jules Rimet trophy had been given to Brazil for good in 1970.
Victim Of The Clockwork Orange
Without Pelé, Gerson, Carlos Alberto Torres, Tostão, and Clodoaldo, Brazil looked nothing like the magical 1970 team, although Zagallo was still their manager.
In the first round, they qualified in second place after a goalless draw with Yugoslavia – who qualified first in the group -and Scotland, only beating Zaire 3-0 in the last match.
Zaire 1974 World Cup team is worthy of mention. The first country from Sub-Saharan Africa to qualify for a World Cup, the nation today called the Democratic Republic of Congo, went into World Cup history due to one of the most bizarre football moments of all time.
Strange Events At The 1974 World Cup
In the match against Brazil, the referee gave a free kick in favor of the Brazilians right outside the African team’s box.
Zaire players positioned themselves in the wall, but as soon as the referee blew the whistle, defender Ilunga Mwepu ran from the wall and kicked the ball out far before the Brazilians had taken the free-kick.
This resulted in a yellow card for a surprised Mwepu and a place in 1974 World Cup history. In the second round, Brazil beat East Germany and Argentina but fell to the Clockwork Orange and had to contend with the third place play-off against Poland.
After being steamrolled by the Dutch, Brazil was also no match for Poland and finished the 1974 World Cup tournament in fourth.
