이 문서는 마인크래프트의 최신 공식 PC 버전에 관한 것입니다. 2013년 만우절 "마인크래프트 2.0"버전에 대해서는 Minecraft 2.0/Chunk format 문서를 참조하십시오.
청크는 16 × 256 × 16 지역의 지형과 엔티티를 저장합니다. 또한 미리 계산 된 물리 광학 효과, 마인 크래프트의 성능 하이트 데이터 및 다른 많은 정보를 저장합니다.
청크는 처음 마인크래프트 인프데브에 소개되었다. 청크를 추가하기 전에 MCRegion - 이는 [α로 알려진 베타 1.3 형식, 청크는 파일 이름이 청크의 위치는 Base36로 인코딩 포함 ".dat"파일 개별 청크 파일로 저장 하였다. 알파 레벨 포맷. MCRegion의 목표는 마인크래프트가 한 번에 열었던 파일을 조정해 아래로 절단하여 디스크 사용량을 줄일 수 있게 하는 것과, BASE10의 좌표와 개인 ".mcr"파일에 32 × 32 청크의 저장 그룹에 의해이 변경되었습니다. MCRegion의 후계자만 '청크 형식' 을 변경 할 수 있는게 현재의 방식입니다. 파일 영역 기술은 여전히 사용되지만 영역 파일 확장자는 ".mca" 파일이 대신합니다.
MCRegion에서의 큰 변화는 섹션으로 청크의 분할이었다. 완전히 비어있는 부분이 전혀 저장되지 않도록 각 청크는 최대 16 × 16 × 16의 개인 16 블록 섹션이 있습니다. 이전 아이디 저장이 0~255 제한에 비교해 청크 생성 예는, 4095의 범위에서 ID를 가진 모든 블록을 지원하기 위해 만들어졌다. 그러나 마인크래프트가 완전한 블록으로 작성된 것이 아니므로, 많은 항목의 ID는 이미 4095의 범위이며 256에서 촬영합니다.
블록, 데이터, 블록의 발광 및 채광 어레이는 이제 개별 청크 섹션에 저장되어 있습니다. 데이터를 천공하고 발광블록 4 비트 값의 어레이이고, 발광블록 및 천공 어레이 블록 ID의 더이상 하우스 부의. 블록 배열은 블록 당 8 비트, 그리고 4096 블록 지원은 추가 블록 ID 정보를 블록당 4 비트의 추가 바이트 배열로 존재한다. NBT 형식은 모루 형식으로 기존의 바이트 배열 태그와 유사한 정수 배열 태그를 포함하는 노치의 원래 사양에서 변경되었습니다. 이것은 단지 현재의 청크 하이트 정보에 사용된다.
X coordinateX 좌표: 청크의 X 위치.
Z coordinateZ 좌표: 청크의 Z 위치.
Last Update마지막으로 변경됨: 청크가 마지막으로 저장 될 때 같이 저장됩니다.
Populated terrain블록: 1 or present 이 청크의 지형이 특별한 것들로 채워되었는지 여부를 나타냅니다.(광석, 특수 블록, 나무, 던전, 꽃, 폭포 등) 'zero'로 설정하면 다음에 실행되는 마인크래프트는 이미 존재하는 블록에서 이러한 기능을 재생합니다.
V: 1로 저장 할 때 실제로는 게임에서 로드되지 않습니다. 가능성 청크 버전 태그입니다.
InhabitedTime플레이 시간: 플레이어의 누적 숫자는 이 InhabotedTime청크로 되어 있습니다. 멀티플레이 등으로 플레이어가 한 맵에 많아지게 되면, 이 청크의 수도 빠르게 증가합니다. Used for regional difficulty: increases the chances of mobs spawning with equipment, the chances of that equipment having enchantments, the chances of spiders having potion effects, the chances of mobs having the ability to pick up dropped items, and the chances of zombies having the ability to spawn other zombies when attacked. Note that at values 3600000 and above, regional difficulty is effectively maxed for this chunk. At values 0 and below, the difficulty is capped to a minimum (thus, if this is set to a negative number, it will behave identically to being set to 0, apart from taking time to build back up to the positives).
Entities: Each TAG_Compound in this list defines an entity in the chunk. See Entity Format below. If this list is empty it will be a list of Byte tags.

CareerLevel: The current level of this villager's trading options. Influences the trading options generated by the villager; if it is greater than their career's maximum level, no new offers are generated. Increments when a trade causes offers to be refreshed. If 0, the next trade to do this will assign a new Career and set CareerLevel to 1.
Inventory: Each compound tag in this list is an item in the villagers inventory, up to a maximum of 8 slots. Items in two or more slots that can be stacked together will automatically be condensed into one slot. If there are more than 8 slots, the last slot will be removed until the total is 8. If there are 9 slots but two previous slots can be condensed, the last slot will be present after the two other slots are combined.
PlayerCreated: 1 or 0 (true/false) - true if this golem was created by a player.
IsVillager: 1 or 0 (true/false) - true if this zombie is an infected villager. May be absent.
CanBreakDoors: 1 or 0 (true/false) - true if the zombie can break doors (default value is 0). If the difficulty is set to Hard, all zombies will have this tag set to 1. In any other difficulty, it is always set to 0.
Anger: Anger level. Determines the aggressivity of the creature towards players. 0 for neutral Zombie Pigmen.
Projectiles are a subclass of Entity and have very obscure tags such as X,Y,Z coordinate tags despite Entity Pos tag, inTile despite inGround, and shake despite most projectiles not being arrows.
xTile: X coordinate of the item's position in the chunk.
yTile: Y coordinate of the item's position in the chunk.
zTile: Z coordinate of the item's position in the chunk.
inTile: ID of tile projectile is in.
inData: Metadata of tile arrow is in.
damage: Unknown how this affects actual damage inflicted by the arrow. May not be a whole number. 2.0 for normal arrows, and increased 0.5 per level of Power enchantment on the firing bow. If the Power enchantment is present, an additional 0.5 is added on (so Power I gives a bonus of 1.0, while Power II gives 1.5).
ownerName: The name of the player this projectile was thrown by.
Potion: The item that was thrown, without the slot tag.
See Item format and Potion Effects tag tag.
potionValue: If the Potion tag does not exist, this value is used as the damagevalue of the thrown potion.
Items are a subclass of Entity.
Age: The number of ticks the item has been "untouched". After 6000 ticks (5 minutes ) the item is destroyed. If set to -32768, the Age will not decrease, thus the item will not automatically despawn.
Health: Same properties as Health in Item. However, this value is stored as a byte in saved data, and read as a short but clipped to the range of a byte. As a result, its range is 0-255, always positive, and values exceeding 255 will overflow.
CustomDisplayTile: Optional. 1 or 0 (true/false) - whether to display the custom tile in this minecart.
DisplayTile: Optional. The ID of the custom block in the minecart.
DisplayData: Optional. The Data value of the custom block in the minecart.
DisplayOffset: Optional. The offset of the block displayed in the Minecart. Positive values move the block upwards, while negative values move it downwards. A value of 16 will move the block up by exactly one multiple of its height.
Type: Type of the cart: 0 - empty, 1 - with a chest, 2 - with a furnace.
All fields from MinecartRideable, MinecartChest or MinecartFurnace depending on Type.
An item, including the Slot tag. Slots are numbered 0 to 26 for chests, and 0 to 4 for hoppers.
TransferCooldown: Time until the next transfer, between 1 and 8, or 0 if there is no transfer.
All fields from the MobSpawner Tile Entity, excluding the base Tile Entity fields.
TrackOutput: 1 or 0 (true/false) - Unknown.
Fuse: Ticks until explosion. Default is 80 (4 seconds).
Tile (deprecated): The Block ID. Not limited to only sand, gravel, dragon eggs, or anvils. Although deprecated, this value is always present.
TileID: The Block ID, as above, but now supporting the 1-4095 range. Only prior to 1.8 and its snapshots.
Block: The Block ID using the alphabetical ID format: minecraft:stone. Only in and after 1.8 and its snapshots.
TileEntityData: Optional. The tags of the tile entity for this block.
Data: The data value for the block.
Time: The number of ticks the entity has existed. If set to 0, the moment it ticks to 1, it will vanish if the block at its location has a different ID than the entity's TileID. If the block at its location has the same ID as its TileID when Time ticks from 0 to 1, the block will instead be deleted, and the entity will continue to fall, having overwritten it. (This was the result of Mojang's failed attempt to "fix" infinite sand/gravel/dragon egg/anvil/etc. generators by trying to have the falling sand entity delete the duplicated block the next tick) When Time goes above 600, or above 100 while the block is below Y=0, the entity is deleted.
DropItem: 1 or 0 (true/false) - true if the block should drop an item that can be picked up when it breaks.
FallHurtMax: The maximum number of hitpoints of damage to inflict on entities that intersect this FallingSand. For vanilla FallingSand, always 40 (20 hearts).
FallHurtAmount: Multiplied by the FallDistance to calculate the amount of damage to inflict. For vanilla FallingSand, always 2.
See Item format and Fireworks tag tag.
TileX: The X coordinate of the block the painting/item frame is placed on.
TileY: The Y coordinate of the block the painting/item frame is placed on.
TileZ: The Z coordinate of the block the painting/item frame is placed on.
Facing: In 1.8 and later, the direction the painting/item frame faces: 0 is south, 1 is west, 2 is north, and 3 is east.
Direction: Prior to 1.8, the direction the painting/item frame faces: 0 is south, 1 is west, 2 is north, and 3 is east.
Dir: Same as Direction, except the meaning of values 2 and 0 are swapped. Ignored if Direction is present.
Motive: The name of this Painting's art.
Tile Entities (not related to Entities) are used by Minecraft to store information about blocks that can't be stored in the 4-bits of block data the block has. They have also recently been referred to as Block Entities, though "Tile Entity" is still a more common name for them.
x: X coordinate of the Tile Entity.
y: Y coordinate of the Tile Entity.
z: Z coordinate of the Tile Entity.
CustomName: Optional. The name of this container, which will display in its GUI where the default name ordinarily is. For Command Blocks, the name will replace the usual '@' when using commands such as "say" and "tell".
Items: List of items in the brewing stand.
: An item, including the slot tag. Slots are numbered 0 to 3.
BrewTime: The number of ticks the potions have been brewing for.
: An item, including the slot tag. Chest slots are numbered 0-26 with 0 in the top left corner.
↑ Double chests are simply two Chest tile entities next to each other; see Chest for which tile entity is which half of the chest.
OutputSignal: Represents the strength of the analog signal output by this redstone comparator. Likely used because the block itself uses its four bits of metadata to determine its rotation, powered state, and subtraction mode state, and comparators can hold a specific amount of power even in circuits without redstone wire.
Item: The Block ID of the plant in the pot. Known valid blocks are minecraft:sapling (6), minecraft:tallgrass (31), minecraft:deadbush (32), minecraft:yellow_flower (37), minecraft:red_flower (38), minecraft:brown_mushroom (39), minecraft:red_mushroom (40), minecraft:cactus (81). Other block and item IDs may be used, but not all will render. Together with Data, this determines the item dropped by the pot when destroyed.
Data: The data value to use in conjunction with the above Block ID. For example if Item is 6 (a sapling block), the Data is used to indicate the type of sapling. See Data Values for details.
Items: List of items in the furnace slots.
Items: List of items in the hopper slots.
: An item in the hopper, including the slot tag.
TransferCooldown: Time until the next transfer, naturally between 1 and 8 or 0 if there is no transfer.
Type: Overwrites EntityId when preparing the next spawn.
Properties: Overwrites the contents of SpawnData when preparing the next spawn. Not optional; an empty one will be created if it does not exist.
EntityId: The Entity ID of the next entity(s) to spawn. Both Mob Entity IDs and other Entity IDs will work. Warning: If SpawnPotentials exists, this tag will get overwritten after the next spawning attempt: see above for more details.
SpawnData: Contains tags to copy to the next spawned entity(s) after spawning. Any of the Entity or Mob tags may be used. Note that if a spawner specifies any of these tags, almost all variable data such as mob equipment, villager profession, sheep wool color, etc., will no longer be automatically generated, and must also be manually specified  (note that this does not apply to position data, which will be randomized as normal unless Pos is specified. Similarly, unless Size and Health are specified for a Slime or Magma Cube, these will still be randomized). This, together with EntityId, also determines the appearance of the miniature entity spinning in the spawner cage. Note: this tag is optional: if it does not exist, the next spawned entity will use the default vanilla spawning properties for this mob, including potentially randomized armor (this is true even if SpawnPotentials does exist). Warning: If SpawnPotentials exists, this tag will get overwritten after the next spawning attempt: see above for more details.
SpawnCount: How many mobs to attempt to spawn each time.
Delay: Ticks until next spawn. If 0, it will spawn immediately when a player enters its range. If set to -1 (this state never occurs in a natural spawner; it seems to be a feature accessed only via NBT editing), the spawner will reset its Delay, and (if SpawnPotentials exist) EntityID and SpawnData as though it had just completed a successful spawn cycle, immediately when a player enters its range. Note that setting Delay to -1 can be useful if you want the game to properly randomize the spawner's Delay, EntityID, and SpawnData, rather than starting with pre-defined values.
MaxSpawnDelay: The maximum random delay for the next spawn delay. Warning: Setting this value to 0 crashes Minecraft. Set to at least 1.
RequiredPlayerRange: Overrides the block radius of the sphere of activation by players for this spawner. Note that for every gametick, a spawner will check all players in the current world to test whether a player is within this sphere.
note: Pitch (number of right-clicks).
blockId: Block_IDs of the block being moved.
facing: Direction in which the block will be pushed.
Record: Record currently playing. 0 is no record. Otherwise, it is the item ID of the record (e.g. 2261 for the "mall" record). Other IDs can be used to make other items or blocks pop out with a data value of 0. This is always overridden by the ID in RecordItem.
Only the first 16 characters of each line are read, the rest are discarded.
ExtraType: Name of the player this is a skull of for pre-1.8.
Owner: 1.8's definition for the skull's owner.
: An item, including the slot tag. Slots are numbered 0-8.
i: The ID of the block as an integer prior to 1.8 snapshots and a string after 1.8 snapshots; used to activate the correct block update procedure.

Yesterday was my mom's birthday!
It would be bad manners to tell you how old she turned this year, but I will tell you LAST year she turned 64.
The gang, minus Marcus, because he had the stomach bug! He just stayed in our room all night, or maybe the other room too, if you know what I'm saying.
Our plan was to have a picnic, because it's April. And the weather is beautiful in April right?
A cold front came through during the day and dropped the temps to freezing cold degrees, plus rain!
So we had the shindig at my house, but we still had picnic food. Our chef had the stomach bug, so we let Chicken Express make our dinner. I added some fruit to be a good hostess.
I also need to include my parent's anniversary dinner that we had last month.
43 years of wedded bliss....and a little bickering.
Morgan, Ryan, Kelly, my mom, Katie, Me, my dad.
Katie and I enjoyed a PJ day today. We have just been so busy, we needed a day at home. I don't like busy. I know some people wear "busy" as a badge of honor. For me, all the important things and people in my life are neglected when I'm too busy. I want to keep my priorities straight.
Sometimes my priorities are watching The Voice, but that's not the point.
Happy birthday to your Momma. My Momma would have turned 62 this Saturday. I wish I could have picnic food with her. I think she would enjoy have enjoyed that!!
I hope your hubs is feeling better. That is the worst kind of being sick if you ask me!
Aw, hope she had a happy birthday! And hope your chef is feeling better!
That cake looks amazing. I want to come over right now and eat some. There was chocolate on the chocolate!
What a great party! Hope your hubby gets to feeling better soon.

How can one engage the hostile or the frightened patient or the patient incapacitated by shame or by physical illness? How can a clinician focus a therapy that threatens to wander indefinitely and unproductively: When and how should one use short-term therapy?Even experienced, talented therapists frequently find themselves stymied, often for prolonged periods of time, by problems commonly encountered in an office-based practice. Here, along with detailed case examples, is a hands-on demonstration of how to deal with such complex, at times seemingly intractable, problems.Basch's technique is a psychodynamic approach that also embraces cognitive and behavioral therapy. It correlates what is heard and seen in the therapist's consulting room with our knowledge of normal infant and child development. This book shows how Basch's developmental method can be used even in short-term therapy to deal with complex problems. The book also includes extensive examples of the supervisory process, demonstrating how to make the best use of this model for therapy, both as supervisor and supervisee.Basch's first book, Doing Psychotherapy, has become a standard introductory text and his second book, Understanding Psychotherapy: The Science Behind the Art, has gained widespread support and garnered much acclaim. Building on the principles elaborated in his previous books, this eminently practical new book takes readers to a new level of understanding.

I’d like to start by thanking my parents for footing the bill for today’s festivities. Having just enjoyed that wonderful spread and knowing what we have to look forward to tonight, I now understand why they had the heating turned off all last winter.
There are so many people I'd like to thank for this beautiful celebration today. It took a great deal of blood, sweat and tears…oh, and money! So I’d to thank the financiers of this event, my parents, Alan and Carol. Without your support, none of this would have happened. Thank you for everything.

Madrid Chow - Where to Eat in Madrid and Beyond. By James Blick.
I know, I know. It reads like a clickbait title… “click on this or your trip to Spain will be a total disaster.” Well, I don’t mean it like that. But having just been to Rome, and spending the first two days wondering, “So, when do the locals eat pizza – lunch, dinner, both?”, I think that the answers to some very basic questions about a country can help you have a much richer experience there. So, here is my humble effort.
Do I tip in Spain? What’s up with bullfighting? Are they still at it? What the hell are tapas? What time to the shops open? When do those damned Spaniards eat dinner. 10.30pm at night, really???!!! These are questions that I think if you can get answered as you’re planning your experience, you’ll have an easier experience, and probably a richer one. Because you’ll be in synch with the locals.
1. Spain is Regional! This is one that really does turn heads. Whenever we imagine another country, our head fills with images that generally only represent one aspect or part of that country. A whittled down cliche that doesn’t capture the richness of a place. But people simply don’t realise that the north of Spain is green, green, green. It looks like Ireland in them thar hills. And it’s not just because of the bloody rain – northern Spain has deep Celtic roots (they play the bagpipes!), and I need to do more research on exactly why that is (my mum old me she saw a documentary that the Irish are actually descendants of the ancient inhabitants of Northern Spain).
2. What time do the shops and bars open in Spain? You’ll see in the video that hours are much more restrictive in the traditional establishments (the ones with all the charm!) but that in the big cities you can get most things any day of the week, and at any hour (department stores and supermarkets open consistently, even 24 hours now).
3. What time do Spaniards eat? Famously late, in short! Lunch is from 2-4pm, and dinner even later. I give more info in the video, but this is a really important one to pin down before you travel to Spain. You don’t want to be eating alone in all the bars and restaurants!
4. What are tapas? Ah, a favourite topic of mine. I explain in the video, how tapas are more than a plate of food. They’re an activity. And that’s why while you can eat tapas all over the world, you can only DO tapas in Spain!
5. Do you tip in Spain? Yes! And no! It’s not like the USA with a percentage, but it’s a little bit of change, Again, a little more context in the video.
6. Do people take siestas in Spain? Yes! And no! (Sorry to repeat the gag). It’s certainly a cliche, but one grounded in history and fact. Given our daily rhythms and the fact that we work in offices, we can’t sleep under the desk. But give one of my Spanish friends a big lunch, a glass of wine and the rest of the day to stretch out, and they may grab a little cat nap… In the video I lie out on a city bench and help you understand this tradition, as well as giving you my 3 rules for the perfect siesta.
7. Is there bullfighting in Spain? Yes! And no! (Sorry, this is getting old). It’s certainly on the wane (and has been banned in some parts of Spain. I head to a bar in Madrid with bullfighting memorabilia to explain a little more, plus give a little insight about what I thought when I went to a bullfight.
8. Do Spaniards speak English? For this piece in the vid, we’re joined by my amazing wife Yoly (a Spaniard who speaks excellent English!). The upshot is the older generations don’t, the younger ones might and either way, you’ll get by!
9. How should I get around Spain. Please do use the AVE fast train whenever possible instead of air travel. It’s simply easier, and better on the environment. But there are certain routes that are very hard (or slow) via train. Heading to the north and northwest (Galicia, Asturias, Basque Country), for example, is very slow experience (no AVE to many destinations), and the AVE also doesn’t extend to Extremadura yet (that great region which has, I recall, the lowest tourist numbers in the whole country… and the best jamón!).
10. How do we greet in Spain? Kiss, kiss! Two besos, one on each cheek. But it does depend a little if men are meeting men, if women are meeting men and all the rest. And as a mention in the video, if you’re meeting the king, shake his hand.
Enjoy the video guys! Be sure to give it a thumbs up if you like it, and subscribe if you’d like to know when I publish more videos.
Triana, Triana, qué bonita está Triana…” So go the famous flamenco lyrics. Triana, just over the river from Seville proper, is one very proud barrio, historically the home of a large Gypsy population, as well as flamenco dancers, bullfighters and a strong pottery industry. While the neighbourhood has changed (the Gypsies were displaced in the 1970s), the local pride remains. And if you’re looking to escape Seville’s tourist centre and hit some very local tapas bars, then Triana is the perfect spot.
I was in the city with some of the Devour Tours crew (a number of whom live in Seville) and we were running a test of our new Tapas Like a Local: Triana Neighbourhood Tapas Tour. In other words, we went out for tapas and pretended it was work. We hit five of the best tapas bars in Triana, and ate everything from perfectly grilled pork loin to freshly-carved jamón to stewed pork cheek to the most amazing radishes you’ve ever tried in your life (the last one may sound a little strange, but trust me).
And the drinks? Vermouth, wine and… of course… sherry! Straight from the barrel.
So anyway, if you’re in Seville and want enjoy a fab night out amongst the locals (check out my new friend Enrique right at the end of the video) and want to eat tapas and drink sherry like a Trianero, then check out the video and follow our lead!
It’s been a long time coming, but finally I’ve had a chance to make a video about some of what I consider the some of the best tapas in Madrid. And happily, they’re all in the same barrio! You see, just on the far side of the Retiro park, there is a clutch of tapas joints that are some of the most exciting in the city. And I don’t mean exciting in a super avant guard sense… I mean exciting in that they walk a cracking balance between tradition and modernity, both in terms of food and also atmosphere. And they’re all within a few blocks of each other!
The barrio? Ibiza (not the island!). It’s a slightly wealthier part of Madrid, and is officially located in the Salamanca neighbourhood. It’s only a very short metro ride from the centre. And it’s an area where many of the traditional taverns have evolved with the times, updating their menus and their wine lists to keep up with modern trends, but not losing their link to tradition. So you have places like KultO that are doing Spanish fusion cuisine (mixing a lot of Andalusian recipes with influences from Asia), but only a block away you have La Castela, that does a knockout bull tail stew and fabulous more traditional fish dishes. And all these places have a restaurant section where you can sit down, but unless you’re with a big group, I always prefer to battle it out at the bar (I’m a sucker for a busy tapas bar). Elbows out!
And what’s so refreshing is that these bars truly do justice to the variety and richness of wine made in Spain. Sure, there’s a lot of Rioja and Ribera del Duero. But you can also dig into sherry, wines from Madrid and reds from the north-west (which are totally trending right now – and rightly so!).
And last – BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST – my wife! This is the first video I’ve co-hosted with my wife Yoly. She’s from Madrid, has taught my a lot of what I know about Spain, and is also Madrid’s leading flamenco tour guide. Check out her private flamenco tours at www.theflamencoguide.com – she’s a genius, and a wonderful woman. And I’m not just saying that because we’re married!
OK, enough chat. Onto the video! Enjoy! And give it a like if you enjoyed it. And subscribe to my YouTube channel for similar videos about how to explore and experience Spain like a local!
If you’ve ever heard of Spanish wine, you’ve almost certainly heard of Rioja. But for those who are new to the vino of this country, often they’ve heard that name but don’t quite know what it means and therefore don’t feel confident ordering it.
Well, welcome to my Rioja for [total!) beginners video! I made this to help those of you who are new to Rioja help you understand it, order it and enjoy it. And for those who already know Rioja, I think you’ll enjoy how the video explains the difference between traditional and modern Rioja wines, and also gives an update on the changes afoot in the region right now.
Is Rioja a grape or a wine region?
What is the main grape used in Rioja?
Is Rioja a red wine or a white wine?
And once those questions are answered, I move on and taste three Riojas from my favourite wineries of the region. The first is Viña Tondonia 2005 Reserva from the winery R. López de Heredia, then Roda I Reserva 2009 from the winery Bodegas Roda, and finally Viñas de Gain 2015 by the winery Artadi. The first is a classic, traditional Rioja, the second represents modern Rioja and Artadi is in there to highlight how the region is going through a period of massive change.
So, I hope you enjoy the video! I plan to make a tasting video for each of the 69 Spanish wine regions, so after you’ve had a watch, remember to leave a comment in YouTube about what region you’d like me to do next!
And if you enjoy the video, remember to give it a thumbs up! Lots of “likes” always bring a smile to my (and my mum’s) face!
I know, I know. This blog is called Madrid Chow. And this is a video about Barcelona. But what can I say? I live and chow in Madrid, but sometimes chow elsewhere in Spain? I was in Barcelona for three months over the summer organising things for Devour Tours, and just before I left I realised I needed to make a video to share with travellers heading there my favourite Barcelona tapas bars. Barcelona is a complicated city to be a tourist in. There are tourist traps aplenty. But there are also gems. Plenty of them. So along with my Devour colleagues Lauren (fellow co-founder) and Katie (marketing director) we set off to see how many great tapas bars we could knock off in one night. We managed 8. Actually, we managed 7, but then I was able to travel in time to visit the 8th. I know that sounds nuts. And it sort of is. But it’s true. I guess you’ll just have to watch the video to understand.

Ópera. At the plush slippered feet of Madrid’s Royal Palace, this amorphous neighbourhood is a heady blend of stately squares, narrow, winding streets, and very old money. I remember when I first moved to Madrid, I didn’t really think of Ópera in gastronomic terms. It all seemed a bit bland. Well, times have changed, and there’s now plenty going on amid those blue blooded lanes. In my latest gastro guide in conjunction with Bodegas Montecillo, I check out 150-year-old Madrid institution La Bola, brand-spanking-new seafood bar La Lonja del Mar (Madrid has the second-largest seafood market in the world!) and finally, the classic and, I find, underrated by locals, Mercado de San Miguel. A spot we couldn’t squeeze into the video, but I would also suggest checking out is La Candela Restó – the best Michelin-star meal you’ll have this year at a restaurant without a Michelin star.

This year marks 100 years since the start of World War I (WWI). In Japan, there are plans for numerous research conferences and symposiums related to WWI. Although the same is true in Germany, this year’s Germany is a little busier than Japan. The reason is that this year also marks 75 years since the start of World War II (September 1, 1939), 70 years since the Normandy landings by the Allied Forces (June 6, 1944), 65 years since the founding of East Germany and West Germany (1949), and 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall (November 9, 1989). At this very moment, Chancellor Angela Merkel appears in a PR video “the week of the Chancellor (Die Woche der Kanzlerin)” being shown on the internet. The video introduces the topic of how Chancellor Merkel participated together with current heads of state of the former Allies in a ceremony to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings.
Germany places great importance on memorial days in history. In particular, its emphasis is placed on dates related to Nazism and WWII. Last year marked 80 years since the Nazi party seized political power (January 30, 1933) and 75 years since the November Pogrom (November 9, 1938; persecution of Jews formerly known as the “Crystal Night”). After this year’s memorial days for the start of WWII and the Normandy landings are finished, next year marks 70 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp (January 27, 1945) and the end of WWII (May 8, 1945). It seems that every year brings a memorial day. Stated differently, Germany has a “culture of remembrance” which places importance on commemorating various events in its modern history.
Even in Japan, there is wide recognition for how Germany (including the West Germany period when the country was separated into East Germany and West Germany) has sincerely confronted its Nazi past. The term “overcoming the past” is also widely known. “Overcoming the past” is a general name for Germany’s attempts to address the consequences of violent rule and aggressive war by the Nazi Germany. International society has given high recognition to how Germany has continued to work actively and tirelessly to compensate and restore the reputation of individuals affected by Nazi crimes, has abolished the statute of limitations for the crime of murder (premeditated murder) and continues to prosecute the perpetrators of Nazi crimes even today, has implemented measures to prevent the recurrence of Nazism (regulating Neo-Nazi groups as unconstitutionality, enacting criminal law to prohibit Holocaust denial theory and glorification of the Nazis), has enhanced education of contemporary history to share lessons learned from Nazi rule with younger generations, and has erected monuments and historical museums.
Within the policy of “overcoming the past,” memorial days and memorial events fall within the final category listed above; that is, the inheritance of memories by younger generations. This is my main field of interest. Normally, the idea of “sincerely confronting the past” refers to honestly admitting the negative aspects of a country’s past. Indeed, such an idea is at the core of how Germany deals with the past. It goes without saying that such an idea is the bases for rebuilding relations with groups of people and nearby countries which were victimized. However, “sincerity” has an even greater meaning within Germany’s projects. I would like to examine that meaning by focusing on two speeches recently given by famous German politicians.
On November 9, 2013, a concert was held in memory of 75 years passing since the November Pogrom. The site of the concert was Frankfurt an der Oder, a town located near Germany’s border with Poland. A speech was given by President Joachim Gauck. This speech emphasized the fact that “ordinary people” were responsible for the tragedy which occurred 75 years ago—the violence against Jewish citizens, as well as the destruction, looting and burning of stores and synagogues.
After the fall of the Nazi regime, Nazis were viewed as absolute evil in Germany. However, the term “Nazi” referred to Hitler, a small number of his Nazi officials, and fanatical believers of the Nazi ideology. For a long time, the various crimes committed under Nazi rule were the work of a few “Nazis,” without the involvement of normal citizens.
In contrast, the idea that normal German citizens assisted the crimes of the Nazi regime began to take root in the 1980s and 1990s. The reason for the change in thinking was, academically speaking, heightened interest in history of everyday life and local communities, which created a trend in which history is considered based on the experience of the individual. Socially speaking, the involvement of Germany’s national defense force (Wehrmacht) in the murder of Jews was described in a traveling historical exhibition which started in 1995 and was named the exhibition about “War Crimes of the Wehrmacht”. This fact attracted great attention. As a result, Germans were forced to remember that the Nazi regime was not the work of fanatical Nazis alone; instead, ordinary German citizens also took part in crimes during that period. President Gauck’s speech reflected this change in attitude.
However, President Gauck’s speech did more than simply question on historical responsibility. When memories regarding the Nazi past are passed down to younger generations in Germany, there is strong encouragement for each citizen to develop self-awareness and self-reflection in both a historical and modern context. This attitude was reflected in a speech given by Chancellor Merkel on January 30, 2013, on the 80th anniversary of the Nazi party’s rise to power.
Chancellor Merkel spoke at the opening ceremony for the special exhibition “Berlin in 1933—The Road to a Dictatorship” held at the Topography of Terror, a historical museum which is related to Germany’s Nazi past and was completed in 2010 on the site of former Gestapo headquarters in Berlin. Chancellor Merkel stated that human rights, freedom and democracy are not realized naturally. Instead, she declared that such values can only be realized by committed human beings who respect others, fulfill their responsibilities, and courageously voice their opinions, even when criticized or placed in a difficult situation. Chancellor Merkel proclaimed that Germans always have such responsibility when remembering the atrocities committed by Germany.
This recognition is supported by Germany’s philosophy of “fortified democracy.” This idea is stated in clause 4 of Article 20 of the German constitution (Basic Law), which states that “All Germans shall have the right to resist any person seeking to abolish” Germany’s democratic republic order. This article recognizes the right of German citizens to fight to protect fundamental human rights, democracy, the welfare state (Sozialstaat), the federal system, the republic, and other values defined by the constitution. It is also the source for expecting self-awareness by citizens for such responsibilities. Chancellor Merkel’s speech strongly encourages self-awareness as sovereign members of society and for responsibilities as citizens.
During the Weimar Republic, Germany had an advanced constitution even from an international perspective. Although Germany realized a parliamentary democracy, the system collapsed in a short period of time. Following the founding of West Germany, the phrase “Bonn is not Weimar” was often heard in the 1950s. This phrase expressed uneasiness that West Germany would repeat the same mistakes as the Weimar Republic, while also showing determination not to allow the same failure. Ever since then, Germans seem to have held the idea that maintaining a democracy is more difficult than establishing one. Consequently, German society holds the conviction of being willing to fight to maintain its democracy. This conviction can often be seen in association with remembering the country’s Nazi past. In this way, projects to address the negative past actively lead to strengthening of the present democracy. This is a major feature of how Germany confronts the past.
Of course, there is no guarantee that it is always correct to elicit lessons from history by comparing it to present context. During the NATO bombing of Kosovo in 1999, arguments for and against participation by the German federal army in the bombing were justified in comparison to the Germany’s Nazi past. This will inevitably be criticized as using history for political means. Great care must be taken in unquestioningly projecting modern criteria onto past historical fact. On the other hand, we cannot sincerely consider history by constantly explaining past actions as being lawful and customary when compared to the context at that time in history, and by not giving sufficient consideration to subsequent developments in world history and the concept of human rights. When discussing history, it is always important to project the future as much as possible in a “dialogue between past and present”.
Today, Japan also shares a “culture of remembrance” which consists of considering the ideal form of the present and future while reflecting on history, as well as the conviction for realizing such ideals. It can be said that Japan’s “culture of remembrance” differs from Germany’s in that the value of “peace” is placed at the core. However, when examining Germany’s “culture of remembrance,” I always ask myself many questions about Japan’s culture. To what extent is there conviction for maintaining the core value? To what degree does Japan’s “culture of remembrance” promote universal values such as democracy and human rights? If our “culture of remembrance” doesn’t promote such values, what do we have to strengthen these values?

Boost your knowledge of fiscal policy in economics with help from the entertaining lessons and multiple-choice quizzes in this self-paced chapter. Whether you're studying for a test or hope to earn course credit, this chapter offers the comprehensive overview you need to succeed!
Governments often intervene in their economies in an attempt to maintain economic stability. In this lesson, you'll learn about fiscal and monetary policies, including what effect they can have on a national economy. A short quiz follows.
Fiscal stimulus is additional government spending or tax cuts designed to increase aggregate demand when the economy is not performing up to its potential. We will work through an example to show how fiscal stimulus works and how much is needed.
When the government spends more than it earns, it has to borrow money, which has repercussions throughout the economy. In this lesson, learn how government spending can crowd out private investment in the market for loanable funds.
In this lesson, discover four different types of policy lags that occur when fiscal and monetary authorities take action in attempt to influence economic output. Find out which policy has less of a time lag.

After about hour ten of driving through middle-America, you might find yourself needing a little sonic pick-me-up. The interstate stretches on, the drive broken only by the intermittent appearance of a rest-stop Star**cks and you find yourself shaking your head and blinking rapidly to snap out of the daze that has set in. The solution? Ann Arbor, MI band Nomo and their latest release, Ghost Rock!
I went back to the well several times on this album during the gazillion mile drive and it never failed to revive me and what's more, the record held up to repeated listens and revealed new textures and elements with each successive listen. Ghost Rock is the follow-up to the equally solid New Tones (Ubiquity, 2006), though this new record finds the group exploring some new sounds and moving beyond the Afro-beat Tones to incorporate Kraut Rock and noise elements into their sound.
Led by Elliott Bergman the band has coalesced over the past few years into an octet and the firming up of the numbers has resulted in an arguably tighter unit augmented by the addition of a ninth individual who on the face of it is a surprising participant: Warn Defever. The His Name Is Alive founder/member produced Ghost Rock and Defever brought a fresh batch of ideas to the studio as Bergman related in my recent interview with him. The funk is still there and the band continues to create some of their own percussive instruments, but the way in which Defever drew out those sounds is the new element that sets Ghost Rock apart from New Tones.
Speaking of New Tones, check out this sweet video before you click on the link to my interview with Elliott Bergman.
Then head over to Nomo's Myspace page and official website.
Wow. It's been a while, hasn't it?
Well I apologize - I took a lengthy holiday IRL and upon returning I had an anniversary, a birthday and found out I'm going to be a dad so things have been pretty hectic of late. But the upside of my holiday is the fact that my gigantic road-trip (over 5500kms; about 3500mi.) provided me with ample opportunity to listen to new music and several of the albums that fueled my travels are primed for the Ear To The Sound spotlight.
For my first of the 'road-trip soundtrack' posts I'd like to spotlight an album that came up late in the journey but the timing was perfectly suited to driving along Lake Superior on my way from Sault Ste. Marie to Thunder Bay. The rugged terrain of the Canadian Shield has a hard beauty that isn't necessarily as imposing as the Rockies but the juxtaposition of exposed rock, pine trees and sunlight dancing off the lake is breathtaking in its own way and Lies on the Prize struck me as the perfect soundtrack to the sights.
The natural world weaves its way into many Snailhouse songs and the topic of travel insinuates itself as well (though in the world weary way one expects from an independent musician who has logged a lot of miles criss-crossing a country as large as Canada). That Feuerstack chose to close the album with "Homesick" seemed especially fitting as I mentally calculated the hours left until I could sleep in my own bed. Road trips are great, but a significant part of their allure resides in heading home, renewed in your appreciation for your own space in this world. To (mis)quote the song, home "echos and murmurs" in the head of each traveler.
As fitting as I found "Homesick" the songs that I kept hitting repeat for were "Tone Deaf Birds" and "They Won't Believe You." The former is a brief and delicate song that has a peculiar message of resilience in noting that "tone deaf, tone deaf birds sing anyway." The song also features the first appearance of Pietro Amato's mellifluous French horn. It's this instrument that also makes "They Won't Believe You" one of the best songs I've heard this year. When the horn comes in at the 1:25 and 2:51 marks, the hairs on my arms stand straight up - each and every time I play the song. Gara's rolling toms add an ominous pulse to the track and Feuerstack's echo-effected guitar work is spooky as all get out. Sadly I can't find either of these two tracks to post here, but that just means you should get the album to hear them for yourself. The album is available from Unfamiliar Records and digitally at Zunior.
There are a couple Snailhouse songs available for download on Feuerstack's Myspace page, but unfortunately on his official web page, the MP3s have been removed recently. I'd still encourage you to visit both.

It is probably the most famous of the Fairy Tales, and over 700 versions of this classic have been written. This is where you express your thoughts about the Classic Fairy Tale, Cinderella. I personally love this story! I like it because it is a story that tells you if you give generously, you will be rewarded. I can't wait to hear your thoughts about this!
Another well-known version was recorded by the German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the 19th century. The tale is called "Aschenputtel" ("Cinderella" in English translations) and the help comes not from a fairy-godmother but the wishing tree that grows on her mother's grave. In this version, the stepsisters try to trick the prince by cutting off parts of their feet in order to get the slipper to fit. The prince is alerted by two pigeons who peck out the stepsisters' eyes, thus sealing their fate as blind beggars for the rest of their lives. In this story, the prince is tricked twice but is spared by the birds. This lowers the Prince's status and he seems less heroic, raising Cinderella's status as a strong-willed individual.
I like the versatility of the story. It can be adaptable to any culture, and it more or less has been as various cultures have their own version of the tale. At the heart of every "Cinderella" is that very basic premise: a young woman is transformed and she finds love. Never mind the mice or the fairy godmother or the evil stepfamily. Every "Cinderella" is about overcoming obstacles, be it through a physical or personal transformation, and being rewarded for your determination.
Like the movie Sabrina (1954, dir. Billy Wilder, starring Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, & William Holden). It's all about how a young girl is transformed (she goes away to Paris for a few years to study) and falls in love. Unlike Cinderella, there are two suitors for her, and ultimately Sabrina realizes which one she truly loves...just as he realizes it as well.
One of the movie channels was playing Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister a month ago. Kram and I were watching it, and we couldn't believe how uninteresting the movie was. The story is intriguing and they had several great actors (Jonathan Pryce Stockard Channing, Azuara Skye, and Matthew Goode in his first major role), but the movie simply wasn't as good as we remembered it to be. Oh well, I guess that's what happens when there's 8 years between viewings and you build it up in your head to be better than you remember.
I'm surprised Duster hasn't posted here, to be quite honest.
I agree with Escapay that the best thing about the story is its simple yet resonant message, so versatile that any rendering of it can be easily accepted. If you were to strip any version of the story to its bare bones, you could easily retell it to one's own liking while still giving the same overall message: if you're poor and downtrodden, be good and keep holding on, as that ticket to a happy ending may just be around the corner. In this regard, it's a great fairy tale.
I've always found the universality of the Cinderella theme bizarre. Just because, cultural ideals have been so different from each other in places, that you would think this kind of moving-above-your-station idea would be looked down upon by some societies. That's the main reason I've always understood why it was considered such an "American" story. But I guess everyone low on the social ladder dreams about being more than they are, American or not. Of course, the US version of a Cinderella story would probably end up with riches, fame, celebrity, etc.
Of course, I don't mean to strip the story down to that; there are a lot of great things about the various interpretations of the story. I haven't read the Perrault version (I'm not sure if I have a book of Perrault or not), but I have read the Grimm version. My favorite part of their version was always the way the dress falls from the willow over her mother's grave. I just always liked the way it seemed that her mother took care of her beyond the grave, and also there's that mother-daughter relationship that's so rare for some reason. You usually only get the evil (step)mother.
Oh, I am certainly interested in all versions of Cinderella. From my youngest years it has always been my favorite fairy tale. I think that it was after I saw Disney's version, I loved the story and wanted to check out the other versions when I saw them, and I always enjoyed them.
However, I always wondered if I would ever find a version I liked more than/thought was better than the Disney version, and I never did. Also, for a while recently I wondered if The Little Mermaid might be my favorite fairy tale, after reading the original, but there was no question what my favorite movie would always be, Walt Disney's Cinderella. And that film is still my favorite, so that is a testament to the film's greatness and belovedness, though the fairy tale itself has also, I decided, remained my favorite.
There is definately more to the story than just being versatile, I love most the versions that we know to be "Cinderella" specifically, the Perrault and Grimm one. Though, because of the name "Cendrillon" and it's iconicness to me and what I suspect is also to most people, I find the Perrault one to be the "Cinderella", though I suppose it could also be the earliest known written version, "Cenerentola", from which the Perrault and Grimm versions seem to come from, or are at least closest to. I also consider the Disney version as the true version in a way.
Okay...I searched and could not find what I originally found, which was the supposed date that the Chinese version of Cinderella, of which I am not even sure what the right name is, "Yeh-Shen" or something else, was written. Not that that might matter as that same Chinese version was probably told orally before that, but I'm trying to find out if the Greek-Egyptian version called "Rhodopis" came before the Chinese version.
Can anyone help me with that? Can anyone find when each was written, and which came first?
Rhodopis was actually a real person, a slave, but the story written says her golden slipper was taken by an eagle to the king, and he went to find who owned it. The eagle may have been a god and the slippers may have been given to the slave by her master because she danced so beautifully.
So anyway, the Greek "Rhodopis" version probably came first, then the Chinese "Yeh-Shen" version, and then came the version that is most like the Cinderella we know today, and the version I'd consider actually is Cinderella, the Italian "Cenerentola" by Giambattista Basile. This version is considered the earliest recorded version of the Cinderella we know and was recorded in a collection of stories in 1634, but I think it was published in 1674.
In this version, a dove comes to the heroine's window and tells her that if she wishes for anything, to send for the dove of the Sardinian fairies and she will have her wish. When her father goes on a trip to Sardinia, he goes to the fairies' grotto and gives his daughter's greeting and a fairy comes out and gives him a date tree for his daughter. Cenerentola plants the tree and the fairy comes out and gives her all the dresses and horses and carriages for the ball on it's three nights.
Now, many people think the Grimm Brothers' version of Cinderella is the original one, and that it's the most true one, and I had also thought that the Grimm Brothers' one might be because Cinderella's dead mother helping her magically made more sense to me than a fairy godmother who doesn't shown up until one night, but here you can see the earliest version is really Cenerentola, and Perrault's fairy godmother and the Grimm's magic tree seem to both come from that version.
So after Cenerentola, actually before the Grimm's, came the version by French intellectual Charles Perrault in 1697, "Cendrillon". The German Grimm Brothers published their version, "Aschenputtel" in 1812. However, it is very possible that the Grimms, who were recording the stories as a way of collecting their own German history and culture, may have heard versions of the story that were much closer to how the original, original Cinderella was, but we cannot know that. Besides, the Grimm's even changed a little bit of the stories to make them more Christianly acceptable, if not other things.
Now, it has been said, including Lazario's first post in here, that the heroine of the Grimm's version is more strong and taking action in her happiness than the Perrault version, and the Disney version based upon the Perrault version.
Well, the Grimm's version I find to be a little weird, because the way Cinderella takes action is through what seems to be magical means, planting a tree that magically gives her the clothes she needs, and calling on birds to help her with her chores in order to go to the ball. I also found it weird that Cinderella had a tree that gave her anything but she couldn't use it to make herself happier in her situation or just completely fix her situation already, but then again the story never says she didn't use the tree to amuse herself and be happy when she wasn't doing chores, and I guess she couldn't exactly ask the tree to make her family nice to her or give her a whole new place to live.
But maybe the Grimm's Cinderella was using the power of God and heaven to get what she wanted, because her mother told her that God and her spirit would help her, so maybe this is why Cinderella thought of planting the tree and calling the birds, so in that way it makes more sense.
However, in the French version it is very possible if translations are to be read correctly that the heroine leaves her slipper behind on purpose so the Prince will find her and marry her. Still, this actually is the heroine who waits around the for something to happen to her the most, but only if we disregard that this Cinderella actually seems to want her stepsisters to love her, and so her happiness seems to actually come from being with them, so maybe she thought her being good to them would get her what she really wanted, and that is taking action.
Disney's version may cover all these things. It is already clear to me that the Disney version uses both the French and German versions. Yes, most things are from the French, but the birds helping Cinderella and the wickedness of the stepmother who makes her do chores so she can't go to the ball when she asks to seem clearly to me from the German version, among other small things. Cinderella asking to go to the ball, and getting certain conditions to do it, as well as possibly using the power of God or heaven with her faith and believing, as well as being good, covers the Grimm's version of Cinderella as far as being active to get her happiness. The French idea of being good to get what you want, and possibly to get love from her stepfamily (if more so her stepmother) is also covered by Disney's Cinderella as far as activism to get what she wants. But the Disney version does everything the most practically and dare I say realistically. It is also in this way that the fairy godmother doesn't come out of nowhere but out of Cinderella's faith in fate's/heaven's power/help, for in the Disney version the godmother comes out of the air around Cinderella or heaven because of this. God and godmother.
Also, I would say that Perrault's version was perhaps the first or only one to add in Cinderella's character a good bit of wit and humor and personality, as part of his own witty writing of the tale, more so than any other version, including the Grimm's version, at least as far as I know. It is something which is also kept in the Disney version. Though perhaps all these points are debatable.
It seems the Grimm Brothers actually added in the violence on the stepsisters, as punishment for their wickedness, possibly from their Christian values. I don't like that, but I do like a lot of other things about the Grimm version, yet if I had to pick I would pick the Perrault version as my favorite written version, and the Disney version as my favorite version period. But instead of the stepsisters getting so horribly punished in the Grimm version or left alone in the Disney version, the French version has Cinderella love and forgive her stepsistsers, who love her back in the end, and I like that a lot, and it certainly makes Cinderella seem even more kind a character, and more deserving of her rewards.
Some weird things and questions are brought up about the tale, especially in the Grimm's version, but one big question is why does Cinderella run away from the Prince, especially in the Grimm's version? It seems there's many good reasons for the Perrault and Disney version, as the magic ends and Cinderella could be afraid of the Prince seeing the magic, seeing her as a ragged servant, or being at the ball in such a way in general, but the Grimm's Cinderella doesn't have to leave, she chooses to.
My guess is that Cinderella may have wanted the Prince to say he would marry her before she stayed with him, to be sure he wanted her and would not cast her away if he knew who she really was. It is also possible she didn't think of this at all and just wanted to leave, but the prospect of marriage made her want to be with him. These reasons could actually be applied to the Perrault and Disney versions as well. In both those versions the Prince makes a royal command he will marry her, so in a way there might be no turning back at that point and Cinderella has him and her security even if he doesn't like what he finds out about her.
Also, in the Grimm and Perrault versions, though mostly the Grimm's where Cinderella escapes the prince three times, she could be leading the prince on and trying to make him want her more and more, so he finally needs to have her and marry her. I guess this could happen in the Disney version, too, even just after one night, it could be what makes him decide to marry her.
However, Perrault himself inserted morals into his tales, or simply revealed what the original morals inherently in the stories were (as he felt they were) that he spoke about at the end of each story, that did teach about life, or give advice for life.
I have found some sites say that Cinderella was deformed in the Grimm's version, but her gown made her very beautiful, and this was about inner beauty. Well, I have not found any version of the Grimm's where it says Cinderella was deformed to describe her by the omniscient narrator in the beginning of the story or anywhere in the story. However, in the end of the story, the Prince calls for the last maiden left in the house to try on the slipper and Cinderella's father says something that has been translated as calling her either "deformed" or "stunted". Well, maybe she's just small, I mean it was about her having small feet, wasn't it? Also, her father could just be calling her that as an insult, as he is saying it in a mean way, because he loves his new wife and children more than Cinderella, for who knows why, perhaps the stepmother kind of forces him. He could even just be saying it because as a dirty, ragged, downtrodden girl she does look deformed and he may even say it just because his new wife turned her that way and that's how he thinks of her now. Also, in the Greek-Egyptian version, Rhodopis, I heard at least one version say, the girl was made fun of for having lighter skin than the other girls, a form of racism and not considering a certain look to be beautiful, but later the heroine gets recognized for the greater person she is.
But every version, including Perrault's, still has the same thing: A girl is cast as a dirty, lowly, perhaps "ugly" unworthy person, but later, everyone realizes her true good worth.
I admit that if the heroine really was deformed or ugly, then became beautiful by magic, and then was shown as her true self later but was appreciated for her inner beauty/goodness, that would be wonderful, and perhaps the best way. But one of the same sites talking about this said Cinderella's outer beauty comes from her inner beauty, and I must point out that that is exactly what the Perrault version, and then the Disney version, could be saying. The outer beauty of the heroine may be a metaphor for her inner beauty.
Perrault's moral at the end of the story may even indicate this more, but I am not sure, especially since there are multiple translations. His "Cendrillon" actually came with two morals, the first being about the beauty thing, essentially saying kindness and goodness are best, and the other is that you may need the blessing/help of a godmother, or a friend. I really am not sure which translation of the morals is right, but these morals are kept very well by Disney's version if you consider Cinderella's kindness and goodness won all the good that came to her, and that her friends and godmother also brought it to her.
Adding to this, I would say that at least one of the messages of both the French Cinderella and the French Beauty and the Beast says "Inner beauty gets you outer beauty", taken in all ways, and thus maybe this message is a French thing.
Cinderella, also being the most known story all around the world for the longest time (though Beauty and the Beast may even be a rival in that), has also been the most looked at, critically. And so it has been criticized from being too simple or superficial to being sexist against women.
Yet I say at Cinderella's heart is a story where people say the heroine wasn't worthy as them, but the heroine believed she was and dreamed she was. Then everyone saw that she was, or was even better than them, especially for being so good and kind. It is a story about equality and being treated well, being treated like you should be. Even one of Disney's Cinderella's better lines is "I'm still a member of the family."
I suppose the big problem left is that people think Cinderella needed to show everyone she was worthy all by herself, but consider that she tried and yet people still treated her like crap. Sometimes it takes someone else to say, "Hey, she's right, she is special. Here, see" after she tried.
And finally, as I said in The Little Mermaid thread, fairy tales have to do with real life. I think there have been times I felt like Cinderella, I know there have been countless times I wanted to be like Cinderella, but I can at least recall a recent time where a talked to a boy I thought was cute, we had a deep conversation and I really started to get feelings for him, but then he went to the movies with his friends and who were kind of my friends but they went without me and didn't invite me. My prince and my stepsisters to the ball without me. I sat on a bench and almost cried. I knew a little more about Cinderella's pain. It is more hurtful than it sounds. You know it more when it happens to you.
Well, that's all I'm going to say for now.
This was awesome! And it's so great to know Cinderella's glass shoes really could work! But I bet they would have worked better if they actually were the girl tester's size.

Estimated (Assumed) Satisfaction of a particular commodity can be equal to, less or more than, the satisfaction, actually realised by consuming that commodity. Estimated satisfaction for a certain commodity depends up on the intensity of desire of a particular person or depends on desirableness.
It is a psychological concept, which can only be felt. It cannot be seen.
It depends on the intensity of wants.
It differs from usefulness. Such as, Cigarette has satisfaction for cigarette smoker, but it is injurious (not useful) to health.
Its concept is indifferent from moral point of view. Such as – Wine, in spite of being useful for a wine drinker; it is not considered good for moral point of view.
It is related with Consumable Goods only.
It does not depend on Actual consumption. It is assumption.
It can be both positive as well as negative. Up to the point of maximum satisfaction, it is positive and after that negative utility is derived.

Harrison Lovell and I decided to try an experiment.
What if a mentoring pair (a person relatively new to the software testing world and a longtime practitioner) were to work together and look at the way that mentoring is performed?
Could we learn something in the process?
What if we tried something novel, and looked at mentoring relationship all over the world, both current and ancient?
What would we find, and could we learn from them in a way that might prove to be useful to us today?
With that, we embarked on a several month voyage (mostly performed over Skype and email) and decided we’d give a try at a method that takes its cues from ancient cultures. Those methods are called “Coyote Teaching”, and we opted to be the Coyotes :).
I want to congratulate Harrison on his first conference talk, and to thank him for his enthusiasm, as well as his hospitality while showing me around mid-town Manhattan during the week (I should also mention that this was the first opportunity we have had to meet face to face).
I am also thankful to those who gave us valuable feedback to make the talk even better than we originally envisioned. My thanks especially to Alessandra Moreira for helping me go over the fine points of the talk and acting as the counter debater to help poke holes in the ideas we were going to present.
With that, please watch “Coyote Teaching: a New (Old?) Take on the Art of Mentorship“. If you like what you see, please comment below and let us know what you liked. If you don’t like what you see, please comment below and tell us that, too :). Either way, we’d love to hear what you think.

Long term blog or social media followers of mine will know that I love to photograph wildlife from a kayak because it gives you such a wonderful low perspective. One of the challenges with photography from a kayak, or any small boat for that matter, is keeping gear safe, but also readily available. All of my larger photographic gear goes into a set of SealLine Bulkhead View dry bags, but there’s a few smaller items that are just nice to have on you at all times.
Until very recently I wasn’t that sure how to accomplish this, but then I discovered the Chinook fishing PFD from NRS. Of course any sensible kayaker is going to wear a PFD but I used to use a pretty standard one that didn’t have any large pockets on it until I got the Chinook. This PFD has several large pockets that will hold my memory card wallet, a couple of spare batteries, both my 1.4x and 2x teleconverters (for use with my favourite lens, the Canon 400mm f/4 DO IS II), my Canon M50 mirrorless camera with a pancake lens, a lens cloth, my phone and my InReach satellite communicator.
The pockets are obviously designed for small fishing tackle boxes, but they work just great for my purposes too. With the 400mm DO II lens I’m often switching between teleconverters because it works with them like an absolute champ, but having them stashed away in the bottom of the boat isn’t a very efficient solution. Now I can keep them in my PFD and have them ready to go at a moment’s notice. One thing to note though is that none of the pockets on the Chinook PFD are waterproof, so all of this stuff is vulnerable if you take an unexpected dip. Keep that in mind! My solution is simply to stash things away into a dry bag if there’s any danger from rough seas or bad weather. Should I encounter something like that, I’m not going to be taking any photos anyway!
Aside from the excellent storage options, the Chinook PFD is just generally very comfortable to wear. It has a mesh back on it which is great for the tall seat back of my fishing kayak (that I also just use for photography), but also works great in a sea kayak too. I also like that it is available in a somewhat more subdued colour than normal PFDs, as this makes me a little less obvious to some of the wildlife that I’m trying photograph.

YOLO, a new acronym for me.
I was working with a life coaching client this morning, and we were discussing values. He had trouble articulating his, so I asked him what was important to him in life. That got him going and from there he was able to articulate six or so attributes and behaviours he considered vital for his existence.
But what's the point of knowing them? Well, so that we live the best life that we can for us. We make decisions and choices with our values in mind. We are always aligned to them. We notice when we are out of alignment and we feel anxious, stressed, conflicted with ourselves.
Mae West's quote is so apt. If you do it right - that is, right for you - once is enough.
I can't blog about YOLO without mentioning it's most famous relation, You only live twice. If you are unfamiliar with this Bond theme, sung beautifully by Nancy Sinatra, have a listen below.
I'm suggesting that your dreams will materialise if you live life true to your values. Why wouldn't you want to live the life of your dreams?

The aftermath of Hurricane Patricia swept through the Houston area over the weekend, with persistent rainfall that dropped from four to nine inches of water. While there were pockets of flooding, most roads remained passable as official urged residents, "Don't roam, stay home."
The Harris County Flood Control District reported that the rain gage on White Oak Bayou at Heights Boulevard registered the highest rainfall amount at 9.2 inches. The channel went out of banks overnight, but crested and dropped two to feet in the past few hours on Sunday morning.
Brays Bayou flowed out of it banks at Lawndale for a few hours, but is back within its banks, the Flood Control District reporterd. The bayou was high near neighborhoods that were affected during the Memorial Day storm, but remained within banks and is falling in that area of southwest Houston.
Several streets and roadways are still flooding throughout the county, and many will continue to hold water until bayous and creeks recede. Residents are urged to avoid roads with high water and to drive cautiously while going about their business Sunday.
All other Harris County bayous and creeks are responding, but remain within banks.
Another two inches of rain is predicted for Sunday. Many events in the area have been cancelled due to the inclement weather.
The Flood Control District urges all residents to monitor rainfall and bayou water levels on its Harris County Regional Flood Warning System website (desktop and mobile versions) at www.harriscountyfws.org. The website features color-coded icons on an interactive map to indicate if a bayou or creek is close to, or out of its banks.
