![]() What should a mudroom include?Ī mudroom should be both functional and stylish. If you’re stumped for mudroom ideas, consider how you approach decorating as a whole and bring in other room ideas to this space. The mudroom is also an excellent place in which to display family photos. ![]() ![]() “Add a great punch of color or art: There’s nothing like a beautiful piece of art to welcome you back home.” Consider displaying images of soothing nature scenes that will fit the space perfectly, given that it serves as a bridge between indoors and out. “A little personality and style-whether it’s modern, transitional, or traditional detailing-makes it functional, interesting, and comfortable for your personal needs,” Britt says. “Anthropologie has a great assortment of eclectic hardware.” How to decorate your mudroom?ĭo not be afraid to decorate your mudroom to reflect your personal aesthetic. “If your home is set up in a way that doesn’t allow for a mudroom, you can always maximize a corner or back hallway with board and batten and playful wall hooks,” Pangle continues. “Ask your local realtor to run recent comparable home sales to ensure you don’t over invest in a project you won’t see a return on.” Pangle advises her own clients not to spend more than $15,000 on cosmetic improvements if they plan to live in a home for three years or less.Įven if you don’t go full-on renovation, a mudroom or entryway is an area where you can showcase your personality, and that can bring intangible value to your home. “Before investing in a costly addition, consider how long you intend to live in the home,” she advises. If your home doesn’t already include a mudroom and you wish to add one, keep in mind this insight from Cleveland-based Noelle Pangle, realtor with Howard Hanna. “Solving for common day-to-day needs is a wise investment.” “Most homebuyers are seeking solutions already in place so that they can visualize easy living there as well,” Britt says. Incorporating a mudroom into your home is an excellent way to add value to your space. Read on to learn why mudroom design is important, even if it is just a transitional space with wall hooks. That’s why this less-formal entrance and high-traffic area needs plenty of shoe storage, accessories for organization, and durable materials that can withstand the elements that get tracked in by guests, kids, and pets. The mudroom may be the hardest-working part of the house, as it tackles dirty shoes, snow-covered coats, and dripping umbrellas, so that the rest of the home can remain pristine. “Having a space for organization, to start or end your day, is invaluable,” says Laura Britt of Britt Design Group in Austin. Even though people often stash outerwear and gear on a hall tree near the living room or in the entryway, brainstorming mudroom ideas that focus on creating a designated space for essentials-including backpacks, sports equipment, and more-is certainly worthwhile. ![]() On the other hand, Bernice’s black grandmother believes Bernice is committing a crime against herself by not expressing her true identity. This image appeals to a white audience who would view passing as a deviant act. She directs her gaze in the opposite direction of the words, creating an appearance of deceitfulness. The words of the film title, “I Passed for White,” stretch across her forehead and rest above the shadowed portion of Wilde’s face. Her features are cast in shadows, creating an air of mystery and mystique. In the largest image, Wilde looks to the side with a preoccupied expression. The third and smallest image shows Wilde dancing with Franciscus as she faces away from the viewer. The second image shows Wilde with James Franciscus as her husband, Rick Leyton. The largest is a close-up in which only her face is visible. The advertisement shows three images of Wilde. The newspaper advertisement above allows a critique of how passing is presented in the film. Sonya Wilde’s whiteness, and the flexibility afforded to the film because of it, is apparent in the promotional materials for the film as well. To avoid controversy, they cast a white actress instead of a fair-skinned black actress (). The Hollywood studio chose not to cast a black woman partly because many studios feared that white Americans would not want to see an on-screen relationship between a real black woman and white man. This choice angered many black Americans, especially in Hollywood, who wanted a black actress to portray Bernice. I Passed for White sparked controversy because Sonya Wilde, a white woman, played the role of the fair-skinned black Bernice Lee. ![]() At the end of the film, she returns home to her family. ![]() Lila denies this accusation but does not tell her husband the truth about her identity. He subsequently accuses her of sleeping with a black man. The main conflict of the film comes when she gives birth to a stillborn child and accidentally blurts out “but the baby, is it black?” in front of her husband. When Lila gets pregnant, she fears that the baby will have black features, which will reveal the lies she has been telling her husband and his family. The only people who know her true background are her friend and eventually her black maid. She marries a white man from a wealthy family without telling him that she is not white. Unhappy with how people treat her once they find out she is a black, Lee moves to New York and lives as a white woman under the false name Lila Brownell. The 1960 film follows the fair-skinned Bernice Lee, played by Sonya Wilde. I Passed for White is a low-budget Hollywood film based on the 1955 novel, I Passed For White, by Reba Lee “as told by” Mary Hastings Bradley. ![]() “So you have this big commercial presence here on the Croisette. He tells me that Cannes is unique in the way it’s able to balance both sides of the industry: the multiplex and the arthouse, the large with the small. This year’s jury president is the Swedish director Ruben Östlund, a two-time Palme d’Or winner for 2017’s The Square and 2022’s Triangle of Sadness. Dancing in the shadow of Brokeback Mountain, this casts Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal as ill-starred lovers in the one-horse town of Bitter Creek. Those on a stopwatch are better served by Pedro Almodóvar’s Strange Way of Life, a 30-minute queer western. Those with a spare four hours on their hands can immerse themselves in Steve McQueen’s Occupied City, a monumental, cross-cutting portrait of Amsterdam which shows the ghosts of the war years still haunting the canalside streets and picnic spots of today.

His fellow jury members were: Gyllenhaal, Mélanie Laurent, Song Kang-ho, Tahar Rahim, Mati Diop, Jessica Hausner, Kleber Mendonça Filho and Mylène Farmer.Johnny Depp and Maïwenn, who also directs Jeanne du Barry. Lee was the first Black jury president at Cannes. Kusijanović was absent from the ceremony after giving birth a day earlier. The Croatian coming-of-age drama “Murina,” by Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović, took the Camera d’Or award, a non-jury prize, for best first feature. ![]() Renate Reinsve won best actress for Joachim Trier’s “The Worst Person in the World.” Best screenplay went to Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s “Drive My Car,” a Haruki Murakami adaptation he penned with Takamasa Oe. That was awarded to both Nadav Lapid’s “Ahed’s Knee,” an impassioned drama about creative freedom in modern Isreal and to Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasthakul’s “Memoria,” a meditative film starring Tilda Swinton.Ĭaleb Landry Jones took home the best actor prize for his performance as an Australian mass killer in the fact-based “Nitram” by Justin Kurzel. The award was accepted by the musical duo Sparks, Ron and Russell Mael, who wrote the script and music for the film. 6.”īest director was awarded to Leos Carax for “Annette,” the fantastical musical starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard that opened the festival. The grand prize was split between Asghar Farhadi’s Iranian drama “A Hero” and Finnish director Juho Kuosmanen’s “Compartment No. The slate, assembled as a way to help stir movies after a year where movies shrank to smaller screens and red carpets grew cobwebs, was widely considered to be strong, and featured many leading international filmmakers. Last year’s festival was completely canceled by the pandemic. With smaller crowds and mandated mask-wearing in theaters, Cannes pushed forward with an ambitious slate of global cinema. “There will be a third, there will be a fourth, there will be a fifth.”Ĭannes’ closing ceremony capped 12 days of red-carpet premieres, regular COVID-19 testing for many attendees and the first major film festival to be held since the pandemic began in almost its usual form. More women will come after her, Ducournau said. “As I’m the second woman to receive this prize, I thought a lot about Jane Campion and how she felt when she won.” “Quite frankly, I hope that the prize I received has nothing to do with being a woman,” said Ducournau. ![]() On stage, Ducournau thanked the jury “for letting the monsters in.” Afterward, she acknowledged to reporters her place in history, but also said she “can’t be boiled down to just being a woman.” “This is the first film ever where a Cadillac impregnates a woman,” said Lee, who said he wanted to ask Ducournau what year the car was. In possibly the most-talked-about scene at the festival, she’s impregnated by a Cadillac. As a child, a car accident leaves her with a titanium plate in her head and a strange bond with automobiles. by Neon, Agathe Rousselle plays a serial killer who flees home. In “Titane,” which like “Parasite” will be distributed in the U.S. “Everyone was passionate about a particular film they wanted and we worked it out.” Juror Maggie Gyllenhaal said they didn’t agree unanimously on anything. That choice was said to be unanimous by the jury led by Alejandro González Iñárritu, but the award for “Titane” - an extremely violent film - this year’s jury said came out of a democratic process of conversation and debate. In 2019, another genre film - Bong Joon-Ho’s “Parasite” - took the Palme before going on to win best picture at the Academy Awards, too.

These corns add a savory, smokey and slightly citrusy flavor to a dish, and that is what makes it genuine Sichuan food. Its taste is almost indescribable: numbing, tingling, and somewhat refreshing like mint. Fresh Sichuan peppercorns have a pungent aroma that lingers around the nose. Sichuan peppercorn (Hua Jiao, 花椒) is another key ingredient that you might not be familiar with. And you can control the heat level by leaving the peppers whole for a milder dish, or slicing them to expose the seeds for a much spicier dish. The short, fat Lantern Peppers (Deng Long Jiao, 灯笼椒) are often added for their nice smoky flavor. In the recipe for La Zi Ji, chefs usually use medium heat Facing Heaven Chili (Chao Tian Jiao, 朝天椒). There are a few types of Sichuan chili peppers that are commonly used in Sichuan cuisine. To cook the real-deal La Zi Ji, Sichuan chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns are the two irreplaceable key ingredients. I included two methods in the recipe below, so you can either include or exclude the peppercorns. You need to keep a sharp eye and shake off these fiery little corns before placing a piece of chicken on your tongue, otherwise your tastebuds will completely shut down for the next 10 minutes. Tons of numbing, tingling, whole Sichuan peppercorns are used.I used a ton of peppers in the dish for the presentation, but feel free to reduce the amount because it doesn’t affect the flavor too much. The amount of chili peppers in the dish far exceeds the amount of chicken, so you’ll need to spend quite some time digging through the peppers in order to find a chunk of meat.But here we make things easy by using boneless thighs. It takes some effort to pick the meat from the bones, which makes eating it extra satisfying. ![]() Chinese chefs usually use tiny bone-in chicken pieces to cook this dish.Here are some fun facts about the authentic Mala Chicken we serve in China: The nutty, smoky fragrance of the vibrant peppers reaches your nostrils before your chopsticks do, and it makes your mouth water and makes you suddenly feel ten times hungrier. Hiding the chicken under a mountain of peppers is just the authentic Sichuan way to display the food. It is not like pure, tear-inducing Thai-style spiciness. The dish offers a deep savory taste using heat as a medium. In this chicken dish, the balance comes from the spiciness and smokiness of the chili peppers, the numbing tingling Sichuan peppercorns, the nuttiness of the sesame seeds, savory aromatics, salt, and a small amount of sugar. Sichuan cuisine pursues truly bold flavors that are well-balanced. La Zi Ji is spicy, but not as spicy as it looks. After staring at the plate for a few moments, they would cautiously dig up a piece of hot chicken with suspicion written on their brow, fearful that it might burn a hole in their stomach.Īnd you know what? My guests always ended up loving this dish. Although my initial goal was to introduce genuine Sichuan food to the uninitiated, I confess that secretly I just loved my colleagues’ stunned faces on seeing the giant plate of chili peppers placed before them. Mala Chicken was one of the dishes that always appeared on our lunch table. When introducing someone who’s new to Chinese food to the real deal La Zi Ji (辣子鸡), or Sichuan Mala Chicken, I’d describe the dish as “fried chicken covered in hot sauce” so it won’t completely scare them away.ĭuring my years working in Beijing, I took every single foreign colleague to one of my favorite Sichuan restaurants, Yu Xiang Ren Jia (渝乡人家). It is spicy yet you cannot stop eating it because it’s SO GOOD! It’s then stir fried with tons of dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger and garlic to create a spicy numbing sensation. The chicken is coated with spices and flash fried until golden brown and crispy. La Zi Ji is a signature Sichuan dish that is extremely popular in China. Take the challenge if you can handle the heat! What is La Zi Ji Sichuan La Zi Ji features crispy chicken smothered in chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and tons of aromatics to create an electrifyingly hot numbing sensation that’s so addictive. ![]() Removed or Replaced creatures in the newer updates.

However, MELD score has better specificity (60%) compared to MELD-Na score (43.3%) at the same cut off value. IMPORTANT We’ve updated and combined our MELD scores into one page. MELD-Na score has better sensitivity (90%) compared to MELD score (80%) at a cut off value above 22. MELDNa/MELD-Na Score for Liver Cirrhosis Adds sodium to the MELD model for liver cirrhosis. In the non- survivor group majority of patients had score of more than 20 (80%). Majority of the patients in survivor group had MELD score between 10-19 (43.3%) and 30-39 (36.7%). The Model of End-stage Liver Disease, or MELD score is used to estimate relative disease severity and likely survival of patients awaiting liver transplantation. The mean MELD score and MELD-Na score was found to be higher in non- survivors group (28.5 and 30.5) compared to survivors group (22.03 and 25.67) which was statistically very significant. The average age was 44.7☑2.040 years in the survivor group and 54.1☙.910 years in the non- survivor group. Results: Out of 50 participants, 20 (40%) died in the hospital due to cirrhosis related complications. MELD score and Model for End Stage Liver Disease-Na (MELD-Na) score was calculated and compared between the groups. Adding serum sodium (MELD-Na) increased the accuracy of the score in predicting waiting. Study population was divided into survivor and non- survivor groups. Its calculation was based on serum bilirubin, serum creatinine. ![]() Methods: This is an observational study conducted on 50 patients of ESLD admitted from October 2012 to September 2014. Incorporating serum sodium into MELD score increases its predictive accuracy. Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality in End Stage Liver Disease (ESLD).

The main cause of those tensions is the existence of two different “board game rules” in the same company. It is important to note that the agile methodology is nowadays mostly used in the IT departments, which sometimes creates tensions between the agile teams and the other workers/employees.įor example, the agile team may require to budget more often that will drive the financial department crazy because they are still working on the old methodology. Yet with time, training and coaching the agile methodology starts to change the way people interact. ![]() It also means a big change for the leaders: they must let go of control. The new methodology gives employees, who are doing the real work, freedom to do what they do best on their own term. The communication in this game is two-ways, which enables quick change and adaptation.Įxplained like this we can understand why a lackadaisical innovation exists in the old methodology. The one person who makes sure that the rules and roles are respected is the scrum master. An important idea is that one can learn from failures and incrementally improve upon one’s work. A special attention is given only to the quality of their work. They organize themselves to achieve it, there is no one who gives them specific order all the time or tell them how to achieve their goal. This time, the workers are informed by a specific person (product owner) about the goal they need to pursue. In the new board game, there are now more rulers. This makes any changes from the workers almost impossible to identify. The communication is in one-way: “Top-Down”. The workers are told what to do without being explained what goal is being pursued. On their side, workers are not aware of all resources available to them and they usually have to compete with other departments to get the ruler’s attention and resources from the leaders crew. The ruler is isolated from the workers (team members). He gives orders and expects results in a precise time frame that leads him to control every move or ask for reporting from his leaders crew (Team and department leaders). He has sometimes expectations that cannot be met but he is deaf and blind to (suggestions, explanations, options), which makes communication difficult. ![]() He is placed at the top of a pyramid, far from the reality of implementation. In the old board game, the ruler or CEO is the person with a vision of what should be done. The goal of companies using the agile methodology is to is to satisfy customer needs by creating a competitive advantage thanks to speed, adaptability, multifunctional teams and transparency. In the agile methodology, the rules and conditions are changed but the employees remain the same. Let us build an analogy between the agile methodology and a board game to understand its impact on companies that implement it. The roles and rules connecting employees in the agile methodology change several aspect of the corporate life. It opens companies to a brand new way to manage innovation and value creation. The Agile methodology has gained the interest of multinationals because of its capacity to create digital & non-digital products in a much faster and sensible way compared to before. |
