Leda Gloria (1912-1997) was one of Federico Fellini’s favorite film actresses, having a prolific career in the 1930s and 1940s but is also remembered as wife of Peppone in the Don Camillo films.
Leda Gloria, pseudonym of Leda Nicoletti Data was born in Rome, on 30 August 1912 . She started her film career already at a young age, winning a film contest held by an American film company in Italy. She dropped her studies as harpist and acted in various silent Italian and German films, one of which next to Lil Dagover, the German early sound film Es gibt eine Frau die dich niemals vergisst (Leo Mittler 1930), also with Ivan Petrovich. Gloria’s first film seems to have been the comedy Ragazze non scherzate (Alfred Lind 1929) with Maurizio D’Ancora. With the coming of sound cinema she became one of the most active and popular Italian actresses. She first made her mark two films by Alessandro Blasetti, Terra madre (1931) and Palio (1932), playing lively and spontaneous country girls. In Terra madre Gloria played country girl Emilia opposite Sandro Salvini, former love interest in the silent diva films. Here he plays a duke who wants to sell his estate and move to the city, but after a fire extinguished with the help of the farmers he decides to stay. In Palio, in which jockey’s representing various neighborhoods (contrada’s) fight each other, love makes blind. Jockey Zarre (Guido Celano) breaks his affair with young Fiora (Gloria) when she is courted by a captain from a rival contrada. When a singer in whom he is infatuated, sets up a trap with his rival in love and horse-riding, Zarre almost fails but stills manages to win the Palio, gaining Fiora back as bonus. Contrasting the bleak and bloodless 19th century vamps, Gloria showed a healthy beauty and simple but often convincing and solid acting, as in La tavola dei poveri (Blasetti 1932) and Il cappello a tre punte (Mario Camerini 1934). She encountered a big success with her first dramatic character in Montevergine (Carlo Campogalliani 1939), starring Nazzari and a story about a man bound for revenge as he has been wrongly accused of murder and innocently imprisoned.
Among Gloria’s films from the war years were Antonio Meucci (Enrico Guazzoni 1940) starring Luigi Pavese as the telephone inventor and Gloria as his wife Ester, Anime in tumulto (Giulio Del Torre 1942) on a surgeon’s wife who steals a baby when she cannot have one, and Dagli Appennini alle Ande (Flavio Cavalzara 1943) on a boy (Cesare Barbetti) crossing the ocean and the whole of Argentine in search of his mother (Gloria). After the war she was involved in variety at the Company of Giulio Donadio, returning with a serious, supporting part in the neorealist film Il mulino del Po (Carlo Lizzani 1949), starring Carla Del Poggio and Jacques Sernas and situated in the late 19th century countryside near Ferrara. Future film director Federico Fellini was one of the scriptwriters for this film. Subsequently she satisfied with parts as supporting actress, often as mothers of the leading characters, but always playing moderated and well-delivered, e.g. as Cosetta Greco’s’s mother in Le ragazze di Piazza di Spagna (Luciano Emmer 1952) and Raf Mattioli’s mother in Guendalina (Alberto Lattuada 1957). Gloria is well remembered as Gino Cervi’s wife Maria Botazzi in the Don Camillo films with Cervi as the communist mayor Peppone and Fernandel as Don Camillo: Don Camillo (Julien Duvivier 1952), Il ritorno di Don Camillo (Julien Duvivier 1953), Don Camillo e l’onorevole Peppone (Carmine Gallone 1955), Don Camillo monsignore… ma non troppo (Carmine Gallone 1961) and Il compagno Don Camillo (Luigi Comencini 1965). She also played Eduardo De Filippo’s wife in the comedy Napoli milionaria (Side Street Story, Eduardo De Filippo 1950) about a Neapolitan cafe owner during WWII. Il compagno Don Camillo was Gloria’s last film. After a long illness, Leda Gloria died in Rome on 16 March 1997. She was one of Federico Fellini’s favorite actresses.

Another monthly reading challenge from the library. When I heard that the March challenge was a travel book, I thought for a while before Googling kayaking books.
Kayaking was a huge part of my life for many years, and I've read a couple of good travel kayaking books. I've also read a lot of climbing and cycling books, but wanted to rediscover my love of the water, even if I no longer get out there.
I found "Moderate Becoming Good Later, Sea Kayaking the Shipping Forecast" by Toby and Katie Carr. What a gem! You don't need to be a kayaker to enjoy Toby's voyages (but it might help a bit).
Perhaps being a certain age, and brought up on the Shipping Forecast on Radio 4 helps as well. Youngsters today don't get to hear "Dogger, Fisher, German Bight" as a part of their day, and I feel quite sad to think what they are missing. There is a poetry about the phrases used. Apart from 00:48 and 05:20 the broadcasts are now only on longwave, which will soon be disappearing.
Toby is no longer with us, having died as a result of a life-limiting genetic disorder which had affected most of his life. His book was completed by his sister following his death in 2022.
I have paired the book with an image on my computer of my more dramatic sea kayaking trip to Old Harry Rocks in 2014.
This is the best book I have read this year so far.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument that flies aboard NASA's Terra Satellite captured the low pressure area near New England that brought heavy snows and thundersnow to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern U.S. on Jan. 26-27. This satellite image was captured on Jan. 27 at 10:55 a.m. EST (15:55 UTC). Much of the Eastern U.S. is still partially cloudy, but the snow on the ground is visible between the breaks in the clouds.

LEAH GARCHIK writes in the San Francisco Chronicle: 'I am informed by ADDA DADA , who never misses a party, that the winner of the Hunky Jesus Contest was TWERKING JESUS. And "Why carry your cross when you can ride it?" is what REBECCA ZITO when she spotted a cyclist so accessorized.'
In Wednesday's Leah Garchik column in the San Francisco Chronicle.
www.sfgate.com/entertainment/garchik/article/Dancing-in-t... ............................................................................................SISTER's of PERPETUAL INDULGENCE's 35th Annual HUNKY JESUS & FOXY MARY fun....The best thing about the Sister's show were the Marijuana 4/20 folks who incorrectly wandered into the Sister's party space...They were like "OMG, This is like , OZ, man."
Yes, it was.
Probably because it was the Sister's 35th Anniversary and it was an homage to the Wizard of Oz. The lawn in front of the stage was filled with red-paper poppies. There were several 'Cowardly Lions", many "Glenda the Good Witch", a couple of 'Bad Witches" including one on a bike...a very young 6-year old Judy Garland passing out Giradelli Chocolate, an awesome Scarecrow of indeterminate sex, a few Tin Men (and one obviously Tin Woman), and even a couple of 'munchkins'...yes, real little people. Though, ADDA DADA is happy to report that there were no Flying Monkeys.

In the nearly two decades since the 9/11 attacks, the United States has expanded its use of economic sanctions to address a broad range of national security and foreign policy objectives. Through the innovative use of financial penalties and greater integration in the global banking system, sanctions have become the go-to tool of economic warfare. They are widely applicable, scalable, and can be comprehensive or targeted. Yet, with Washington’s increasing reliance on these policy instruments, serious questions remain about their long-term effectiveness and their potential to produce unintended consequences.
For sanctions to achieve strategic objectives they must be adapted to a new era of geopolitical competition and coordinated with other forms of diplomacy. To help make sense of the design, implementation, and implications of sanctions, Foreign Policy at Brookings hosted a panel of experts with a combined background in the use of sanctions in Latin America, Europe, North Korea, and the Middle East.
Jim Goldgeier, Robert Bosch senior visiting fellow in the Foreign Policy program, kicked off the event with introductory remarks. He then moderated a panel discussion with Brookings Senior Fellows Suzanne Maloney, Jung Pak, and Ted Piccone. The session concluded with questions from the audience.

Delicate Arch trail.
Length: 3 miles roundtrip
Difficulty: Moderate
Description: Delicate Arch is the most recognizable arch in Arches National Park, and perhaps anywhere in the world. It also happens to be located along one of the most dynamic hiking trails within Arches National Park. More than 480 feet above the parking lot and trailhead in the valley below, Delicate Arch is hidden in a bowl at the top of one of the park’s famous sandstone fins. Delicate Arch is freestanding, and magnificently alone in the natural sandstone bowl, standing out against the multitude of horizontal planes around it. The arch was once part of the upper section of the fin, until erosion took its toll upon the sandstone throughout the years, and now Delicate Arch is all that remains of that Entrada sandstone formation.
The Delicate Arch Trailhead is located on the Wolfe Ranch turnoff, which is 11.5 miles up the Arches Entrance Road. The right turn to Delicate Arch is advertised at the turnoff, and the trailhead is on the left side of the road, at the ranch. The trail is rugged and steep, especially near the end as it mounts the sloped side of the sandstone fin. Along the way, visitors will pass a pioneer homestead, Ute Indian petroglyphs, an overgrown streambed, throngs of juniper, a smaller arch, and the famous slickrock for which the Moab area is world-famous.
Delicate Arch Trailhead
The trail starts at a fairly large parking lot off the side of the road, passes the old Wolfe Homestead, and then crosses a bridge over Salt Wash.
Wolfe Ranch
This homestead was built by a disabled Civil War vet, John Wesley Wolfe, in 1888 and inhabited until 1910, when the aging owner moved back to Ohio.
Ute Petroglyphs
This panel of rock art is attributed to the Ute culture. In includes a number of bighorn sheep, horses and dogs.
Frame Arch
Frame Arch is next to invisible when compared with the splendor of Delicate Arch just around the corner; most hikers barely even recognize the arch on its own merits. However, Frame Arch is famous for being the perfect window through which to photograph Delicate Arch, and many people use it to frame their shots of its more photogenic sibling, as its name suggests.
Delicate Arch
Delicate Arch has graced many magazine covers, mantle pieces, coffee tables, stamps, license plates, and a variety of other media. It is an international attraction, and has drawn its fair share of abuse over the years, including (now illegal) climbing, and ignorant pyrotechnics.

Taken between moderate rainfall but the sky was just an evenly drab grey that the contrast or any other slider could not find any detail. Hence a standard basic replacement sky added to fill the large empty top of the image.

About the Photo
Overlooking the Talbingo Reservoir (part of the Tumut River and Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme) from a small 4WD track on the Snowy Mountains Highway, just past Pinbeyan. The 'road', was certainly not the best I've experienced, and the walk (Landers Falls Walk) was certainly 'moderate' (especially when in a hurry!), but the view itself was simply amazing.
Overcast cloud, light rain and blustery wind led me to keep the image very cool 'cool', and really bring a dank and dreary nature to the scene. Using an ND filter allowed the clouds to smooth out and create a nice sheet-like effect. Enjoy :)

About Tumut River
The Tumut River rises on the northern face of Mount Jagungal in the Snowy Mountains of southern New South Wales. It flows about 145km before joining the Murrumbidgee River, at Darbalara near the town of Gundagai. Although quite a short river, the natural flow of the Tumut River is quite high, as it drains the snowmelt and other runoff from a large proportion of the northern Snowy Mountains. The natural flow of the river is amplified by water transferred from the Tooma River and Lake Eucumbene by the Snowy Mountains Scheme.
Between Cabramurra and Tumut, a series of five dams and four hydro-electric power stations harness the flow of the river. These include Tumut Power Station and Blowering Dam and Talbingo Dam.
The Tumut River has been a popular destination for a variety of sport and leisure activities including kayaking, canoeing and fishing.
Following the moderate success of the Hawker Sea Hawk naval attack aircraft, Hawker began work on a version with a more powerful engine and swept wings, the P.1052, in 1948. While promising, work on the P.1052 and the more advanced P.1081 never progressed beyond the prototype stage. Hawker saw potential in the design, and famous British aircraft designer Sydney Camm began reworking it as the P.1067 to fufill the RAF’s requirement for a day interceptor. This first flew in July 1951 as the Hunter.
While abysmally short-ranged, the Hunter displayed superb maneuverability and transonic speed, and so was placed in production as the Hunter F.1 (Avon engine) and F.2 (Sapphire engine). Some problems were quickly identified: besides its short range, the intakes did not pull in enough air for the Avon engine (the Sapphire did not share these problems) and it had a tendency to flame out. Both versions shared problems with ejected shells striking and damaging the fuselage at high speed, canopy fogging, and problems with the ventral airbrakes. Hawker went back to the drawing board and produced the Hunter F.3, with an improved Avon, revised airbrakes, and a more pointed nose for improved aerodynamics; this was followed by the F.4 with a slightly larger wing, more fuel capacity, and blisters under the nose to collect spent shells. Finally, the design culminated with the Hunter F.6, which incorporated all the improvements of the F.4, had a redesigned wing with dogtooth leading edges for improved performance, and finally fixed the Avon’s problems with a new compressor and fuel system.
The Hunter F.6—subsequently modified as the FGA.9 to carry air-to-ground ordnance, as the English Electric Lightning replaced it as an interceptor—proved to be every bit as successful as Camm had hoped. Fast and very manueverable, even if the range problem was never wholly solved, the Hunter was also reliable and rugged. 23 air forces would eventually adopt the Hunter, and it saw active combat service in nearly every war in the mid-20th Century with the exception of Vietnam. The RAF used it in Aden (Yemen) against sepratist insurgents, while Pakistani-flown Iraqi Hunters and Jordanian Hunters proved to be the only real challenge to Israeli Mirage IIIs before and during the Six-Day War of 1967.
The air force using the Hunter most extensively was India’s, who used it in both the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pakistani Wars, mainly in the ground attack role, where it excelled. The Hunter also was exceptionally long-lived, remaining in service into the 21st Century with a few air forces. India did not retire their Hunters until 2002, while Swiss Hunters (refitted to carry both AIM-9 Sidewinders and AGM-65 Maverick missiles) stayed in frontline service until replaced by the F/A-18 Hornet in 1996. Zimbabwe may still retain a few, and as recently as 2007, Lebanon is putting its stored Hunters back into service. The RAF, the original customer, still flies three Hunters as research aircraft. Finally, there are 36 Hunters flying with private companies as warbirds, research aircraft, and aggressors.
(The following is a fictional history of a fictional air force.)
The FIRAF had initially considered acquiring Hunters as early as 1974 as point-defense interceptors, until the USAF began offering Century Series aircraft as interim fighters until the FIRAF could afford “teen” fighters like the F-15 and F-16. Nonetheless, Minister of Defense Akela Canis went ahead with buying second-hand Hunters as lead-in fighter trainers; in his words, “We’re going to have a lot of kids flying very expensive hot aircraft, so let’s give them a bit of a taste of one before we turn them loose.”
With this in mind, the FIRAF purchased six two-seat Hunter T.75As and three FGA.74s from Singapore in 1977, assigning them to the newly-formed 47th Training Squadron. Refurbished by Intelani Aeronautics, these entered service in July of that year; the FGA.74s were somewhat confusingly redesignated FGA.9s. (The FIRAF never adopted American-style designations for the Hunter.) These aircraft were to become popular and a fixture at North American airshows. With the arrival of the T-38A Talon in FIRAF service, it was decided to retire the Hunters in January 1984.
(Back in the real world...)
After seeing the real thing as a kid in Germany, I'd always been intrigued by the Hunter. When Revell released a 1/144 kit of a FGA.9, I had to get one. I did it in an overall white training aircraft scheme, with blue and red highlights. The fuel tanks are a different color to break up the monotony of an all-white finish. All the markings were done by hand; I really need to go back and redo those, as ballpoint pen has not held up very well.

The last peeks of sunlight. It was an end to another pleasant day in the city. Brrrr, it was quite chilly out though. Winter was surely right around the corner. Pic taken from around San Jose, CA. (Saturday around sunset, December 12, 2015; 4:40 p.m.)
Weather update:
A weak frontal system was dropping southward across Northern California this day. This system had brought light rainfall to the higher elevations... A much stronger frontal system was to move into the area tonight and Sunday with moderate to heavy rain along with strong southerly winds. Wind advisories were issued in many areas due to wind gusts possibly exceeding 45 mph in the valley and 55-65 mph over higher elevations! The rainfall was to turn to showers by Sunday afternoon\evening, though isolated t-storms were possible due to the unstable airmass following behind the front...
moderate rules in the pubs of Trier - every guest counts. And now look at the yawning emptiness on the streets of the old town on a late Saturday afternoon. A year ago I was here for the last time, there were no free seats. People in the Rhineland love the sociability, the pub culture is a natural part of everyday life

comfortable with - either Safe Search is on, set to
moderate, or off. In order for Safe Search to work, we
relying on *you* to filter your content appropriately. As
you upload stuff to Flickr, you need to make sure that
you're applying appropriate filters (safe, moderate or
restricted) and telling us what sort of content it is
(photos, screenshots, art & illustration). If you don't
apply filters correctly, there's a very good chance another
member will let us know - in fact that's why we've taken
action today. (No need to be upset - it's every member's
right to let us know if they ever feel uncomfortable. Yours
too.)
We want Flickr to be a place that everyone can enjoy. That
means making sure that potentially offensive content is
filtered from public, safe areas of the site. If you read
our Community Guidelines, you'll see the key points are:
play nice, upload photos that you have taken yourself, and
respect the fact that there are millions of people visiting
Flickr who may not see the world the same way you do.
Use your common sense about whether or not your content is
suitable for a global, public audience. If the answer is
no, you need to filter it from public view. You should also
know that if we receive another report about your content or
conduct, it's very likely we'll terminate your account.
So, please take a moment to find out how to work with
safety levels, use 'em, and everybody's happy!

Size: 12x5x3cm, weight: XXXgr.
Density: X,XXgr./cm³ / Estimated grit size: very variable 4K-8K
Usage: with water or oil, water should be preferred
Colour: differs totally from which quarry and which layer the stone was quarried. To identify and get further more information about the different kinds, read Henk Bos - Grinding and Honing Part 4 about Belgian Whetstones in detail (www.bosq.home.xs4all.nl) additional a visit of Coticule.be (maintained & created by Bart Torfs) is recommended! (www.coticule.be)
A Sharpening Stone which is known as a Coticule, Belgian Waterwhestone or in german "Gelber Belgischer Brocken" which is also shortened as GBB. There is also a second type which is and in the past was mostly used a the backing of the Coticule, the "Belgian Blue Waterwhetstone" or in german "Blauer Belgischer Brocken" shortened as BBW/BBB. Coticules are very interesting in their apperance, none is like the other and sometimes they have really nice structures (banding, gradients, inclusions).
Concerning the performance of the stones, the Coticules are very flexible in usage. That means that the stones with a very thick slurry used with more pressure work quite fast and remove a lot of material! A moderate slurry is a bit slower, using plain water is the slowest way which is used to polish the bevel and finish on the Stone. Later on there is a link to both Sharpening techniques brought to paper from Coticule.be named "Unicot" und "Dilocut" which are both great if they are well learned.
"About this Stone"
A very thick stone (3cm) with a mixed up Coticule layer, on certain areas it has several hybrid layer inclusions (Quartz). It has a natural grown BBW backing. At the End on one side both layers (Coticule/BBW) get mixed up together, this is quite rare and ive never seen any comparable stone.

Spanish Broom is moving in. The invasive tendency of this non-native is rated by CAL-ipc as high: "These species have severe ecological impacts on physical processes, plant and animal communities, and vegetation structure. Their reproductive biology and other attributes are conducive to moderate to high rates of dispersal and establishment. Most are widely distributed ecologically."

(Left-right, on dais) global pop superstar Katy Perry and UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake participate in a question-and-answer session moderated by UNICEF National Ambassador for Ethiopia Hannah Godefa, during a ceremony announcing Ms. Perry’s appointment as UNICEF’s newest Goodwill Ambassador, at UNICEF House. A banner beside them bears the UNICEF logo.On 3 December 2013, global pop superstar Katy Perry was appointed UNICEF’s newest Goodwill Ambassador, in a ceremony held at UNICEF House. “I believe young people have the power to change their own lives, with our help,” said Ms. Perry. “I am honoured to join UNICEF as a Goodwill Ambassador, and committed to doing everything I can to help children and adolescents who come from such different backgrounds but want the same thing: a brighter future.” Earlier this year, Ms. Perry visited Madagascar, one of the poorest countries in the world, as part of a UNICEF mission, bringing much-needed attention to the situation of children there. In October, she joined in UNICEF’s celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child, lending her hit song ‘Roar’ to the soundtrack of a new PSA to inspire girls and help them become tomorrow’s champions. Most recently, she has called on her massive social media following to support UNICEF’s emergency relief efforts for children, including those affected by Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines in early November. In her role as Goodwill Ambassador, Ms. Perry will work to engage young people in speaking out about issues affecting their lives – and to enlist them in creating solutions to those challenges. Her outreach will focus especially on the most vulnerable children and adolescents, including those living in severe poverty or in emergency and conflict situations, or who are affected by violence, abuse and neglect. © UNICEF NYHQ/2013/RAY STUBBLEBINE

HOLLYWOOD - Firefighters douse flames in a two-story structure on Sunset Blvd in 44 minutes after finding fire on both floors and the roof.
In the early afternoon of August 31, 2019, firefighters initially found moderate smoke coming from a two-story vacant building. As they encountered challenges making access to the boarded up building, the fire quickly grew. The initial interior attack uncovered an electrical hazard toward the rear, with wires down. With the flames growing and the electrical hazard present, seeing that the building was uninhabited, crews pulled back and used a defensive posture to flood it from the exterior of the building. As the fire was tamed, crews re-entered to finish off what was left inside. A primary and secondary search of the building confirmed that no one was inside. The nearby structures were protected and did not become involved with fire. No one was injured and the cause is under investigation by the LAFD Arson investigators.

Voices from the left and right: Courtney E. Martin, Lena Chen, Allison Kasic and Shelby Knox. Moderated by Naomi Wolf and More editor-in-chief Lesley Jane Seymour
Where are all the young feminists? That's the frequently asked—and loaded—question that inspired More editor-in-chief Lesley Jane Seymour to feature 14 young feminists in her November issue (on news-stands Oct 26). Bestselling author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) joins Seymour and panelists Lena Chen, Allison Kasic and Shelby Knox for a provocative discussion: How do the young leaders define feminism? Is blogging the new march on Washington? What do the conservative feminists believe? And will the intergenerational clash ever end?
