Get Lost in the Melodic Layers of Devon Williams' New LP, 'A Tear In The Fabric'
Grady Olson May 29, 2020
Los Angeles-based musician Devon Williams recently released his new album, A Tear In The Fabric, and it's just the summer album we could all use about now. The twelve-track LP boasts hints of eighties pop reminiscent of The Cure mixed with The The, and is layered with melodic guitar and sharp drum beats. You'll be dancing and bopping six-feet apart all the way to the beach (when they open back up).
A Tear In The Fabric all boils down to the process—the hashing out of things until perfection. Six years in the making, it wasn't until now that Williams felt it was ready. For him, the process of creating is a time-grueling process of editing, rewriting, reediting, and repeating. "I wrote a lot of songs, and reworked them over and over," says Williams. "It's a fun process, but it's also exhausting the way I did it this time. I won't do it this way again. I never stop writing songs, and can't stop re-working them until I either hate the song, or I think I've done the best I can do."
Over the span of the six years it took Williams to complete A Tear In The Fabric, he recorded in a number of non-traditional recording spaces, finding any opportunity in his busy life to work on the album. "At home, in a studio, in a basement, over the internet, in my car," describes Williams. "I had a very busy job during the six years that I wrote this album, but making music is the thing I love to do. So I did it in the spaces between work, and other responsibilities…driving to work, in the office with headphones on, driving home, after putting my daughter to bed, after my wife went to sleep. It's an obsession for me. Songwriting is a solitary process. It's part of why I like it. But I have to balance all parts of my life. Which is where the song "Domesticated" comes from."
One of the best parts about an album is seeing it come together when other musicians are added to the mix. It's the process of taking an idea that's scribbled down in a notebook at a stoplight and actually bringing together the elements that push it to the next level. Williams called on a number of musicians to help him execute all of the ideas he had for the new LP. "I recorded it with friends, and friends of friends. For example, I had an idea for a cello part, and was put in touch with a great player named Andrew. We exchanged emails with tracks a couple times. Super easy. Then Nic, who plays guitar with me, would come over and engineer my guitar parts in the evening."
Music has been in Williams' life since he was a kid growing up in Los Angeles. He vividly remembers listening to his father's tapes in the car — Dion, Del Shannon, Del Vikings, and the Beach Boys. But it was MTV in the early nineties that caught his attention and fueled his passion to pursue music. He started off taking beginner lessons with a borrowed acoustic guitar at the age of nine, but acoustic chords didn't peak Williams' interest for too long, and he quickly looked for something else, something louder.
"A classmate's older brother had a bedroom covered with Theatre of Pain-era Motley Crue posters," says Williams. "He taught me the lick for "Sweet Child of Mine," but told me I needed to cut my fingernails. This was the tail end of that era, like 1990. I was late to it, but I loved those eighties rock bands. That kind of guitar was hard for me to play at ten-years-old, so eventually I started writing my own songs. I love guitar parts, layered melodic guitar parts. So I'm just as much of a fan of Def Leppard's "Anima" as I am of The Go-Betweens' "Bachelor Kisses."
While the future of live music and what that means for artists like Williams, the thought of not being able to play live deeply eats away at him. "It's awful what's happening. I hope this "time out" gives people perspective," says Williams. "I'd like to think the storm is almost over, but we're heading into the elections and I'm worried how this is all coming to a head. So I think we gotta stay positive and be smart."
"I'd love to go out and play music. I really love playing. I love and value my friends who play with me," says Williams. "So when we play, it's important that we're laughing but that it sorta hits the core of the song in some way. It doesn't have to be identical to the recording. I don't care if we're under-rehearsed. I don't care if the room is half empty. We're there and we're gonna work it out together."

Imran Khan has taken another u-turn: Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar
Islamabad: Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar Wednesday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan had yet again took a u-turn by appointing his advisor's company as the firm in charge of Mohmand Dam's construction. Khokhar, the spokesperson to PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, said the federal government's reality had been exposed through this act and is a proof of the government's inability to stay true to its promises, he said. Senator Khokhar said this act of PM Imran Khan demands attention from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). "The appointment of Razzaq Daood's company is unfair and proves how bias the PTI government is," he said. Senator Khokhar demanded immediate removal of Razzaq Dawood from the government's affairs.

A great thing about this album is that these guys don't rely on atmospheric swaths of noise alone to carry them. There are moments of blissed-out ambient, but there are also moments of almost dance floor vibes that make the album all the more engaging.
The newest collaboration between Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk, titled simply Passage, is a heady mix of intellectual ambient and euphoric electronic. You get Schnauss' synths layered with Munk's liquid guitar lines, sometimes with drum programming and sometimes on their own. The result is a complex and engaging record that offers the best both musicians have to offer.
If you're at all familiar with Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk, then you should know this isn't just another in a long line of electronic records. Schnauss is an accomplished electronic musician and composer who's been creating beautifully ornamented electronic albums for over 20 years. His 2001 album Far Away Trains Passing By is a classic in the genre. Since 2014 Schnauss has been an official member of the iconic Tangerine Dream. Jonas Munk is an accomplished musician/producer in his own right, making electronic records under the name Manual, as well as playing guitar for the Danish rockers Causa Sui. He's also released two records under his own name, first Pan in 2012 and Absorb Fabric Cascade in 2014. Back in 2011 these two got together for the first time and released the ethereal Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk. Six years later they have made a sequel to that collaboration. Passage does not suffer from the "sophomore slump". In fact, it surpasses its predecessor.
Schnauss and Munk know how to make a heady mix of ambient tones and daydream-y vibes. Tracks like "Amaris", "Genau Wie Damais", and "Anywhere But Here" cascade like technicolor falls on some distant world. The noise coming from the speakers is hypnotic but not hallucinogenic. It's an all-natural high that bubbles and swells from a song like the mysterious "Intervention: Sol". Sometimes it's hard to tell where Schnauss' synth ends and Munk's guitar begins. "MST" brightens up with an early 80s electronic vibe thanks to some boisterous drum programming. "Intervention: Mane" gives us plenty of woozy vibe that takes us from the dance floor to floating in space.
A great thing about this album is that these guys don't rely on atmospheric swaths of noise alone to carry them. There are moments of blissed-out ambient, but there are also moments of almost dance floor vibes that make the album all the more engaging.
Side two's "Ao Hinode" feels like some sort of spectral light shining down on us mere mortals, while "Spellbreaker" has an almost mid-80s Cure vibe. This track seems to morph into a million moods before we even get to the halfway point. It's an elegant shock to the system. "Intervention: Stjerner" is a beautiful and bubbling ride of synths that seems to owe a bit of debt to Schnauss' other gig Tangerine Dream. It's hypnotic bliss. "Caffeine Blues" shows Munk in top form with some exquisite guitar, while Schnauss backs him up with some heady sounds. "Coastal Path" ends the album on a sun-soaked drift of cascading clouds and road trip-worthy vibes.
Passage shows two musical masters at the top of their game. Each are front and center, but never feel as if they're vying for our attention. They come together, synth and guitar, to paint good vibes and heady, existential bliss. Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk serve only one master here, and that is the song. They follow the muse wherever she takes them. The musical mind melding of Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk, so far, is the best thing to hit my ears in 2017.

CUSTOMER understands when subscribing to the Quality Satisfaction Management Program, HOME CARE PULSE, LLC will conduct satisfaction phone interviews with approximately 10% of their clients (active or who have received care within the last 90-days) and/or actively employed caregivers each month, unless otherwise specified in the services selection of this Agreement. CUSTOMER understands the number of satisfaction interviews performed each month may vary based upon the current number of clients and employed caregivers. CUSTOMER can increase the percentage of interviews completed each month by ensuring: 1) client and/or caregiver files are updated with the correct contact information for clients/responsible parties and for caregivers; 2) inform letters have been given to all new clients/ caregivers and have been sent to existing clients/caregivers during the past six months; 3) all corrections needed have been accurately resolved within the VANTAGE system and within CUSTOMER's scheduling software.

CUSTOMER will be expected to pay for any services rendered. Except as expressly waived by HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, on termination of this Agreement for any reason other than for HOME CARE PULSE, LLC being in breach or being subject to an event listed herein, CUSTOMER shall pay HOME CARE PULSE, LLC any and all fees payable until the end of the then current term. If CUSTOMER doesn't pay, HOME CARE PULSE, LLC may terminate this agreement for any reason if written notice is given 30 days prior to termination.
Satisfaction Management Services and Lead Generation are billed at the conclusion of each calendar month. VANTAGE membership fees are billed for the upcoming month of Services. Set-up fees for Satisfaction Management are billed at the time this Agreement is signed and received. Services charged are outlined in the "Services Selection." Payment for services rendered is due upon receipt. If payments are 15 days late, late payment fees may apply, not to exceed 18% annual percentage rate of late outstanding balances. HOME CARE PULSE, LLC reserves the right to withhold access to Services or cancel the subscription, without waiver of any of HOME CARE PULSE, LLC's rights herein, if CUSTOMER's account is more than 30 days past due, provided HOME CARE PULSE, LLC gives CUSTOMER a 5-day written notice (which may be given by email). Any CUSTOMER account that is suspended for non-payment will require an advance payment equivalent to 3 months of subscription to reinstate the account.
Though rare, periodically it may be necessary for HOME CARE PULSE, LLC to increase CUSTOMER's fees for Services in order to keep up with inflation and other increased costs of doing business. When this becomes necessary, CUSTOMER will be given a 30-day written notice prior to any fee increase. This increase in fees will not take place during the term of this Agreement, but may occur at the time of renewal. HOME CARE PULSE, LLC will always strive to avoid fee increases whenever possible.
HOME CARE PULSE, LLC and CUSTOMER agree they will not disclose, divulge, or reveal any information deemed confidential by the other party to any individual or business who is not a party to this Agreement. This obligation of confidentiality will survive the termination of this Agreement.
If HOME CARE PULSE, LLC receives protected health information (as defined by HIPAA) during the course of providing Services, it shall not use or disclose such protected health information other than as permitted by or required by law, and shall use appropriate safeguards to prevent use or disclosure of such protected health information. CUSTOMER may require HOME CARE PULSE, LLC to execute a standard Business Associates Agreement if HOME CARE PULSE, LLC receives protected health information during the course of providing Services.
Ownership of the HOME CARE PULSE, LLC's, name, logos, and related marketing material/graphics belong to HOME CARE PULSE, LLC. These items may be used by CUSTOMER as marketing tools (i.e., email signatures, marketing collateral, websites, social media, Power Point presentations, print ads, etc.), as long as the HOME CARE PULSE, LLC's name, logos and related marketing material are used in ways that would not damage the HOME CARE PULSE, LLC brand or its affiliated brands such as Home Care Pulse Certified and Best of Home CareTM. If Services are terminated by HOME CARE PULSE, LLC or the CUSTOMER, the CUSTOMER agrees to no longer continue use of these items in association with their business. It is HOME CARE PULSE, LLC's sole discretion to determine if HOME CARE PULSE, LLC's name, logos, and related marketing material are being used inappropriately, and may require the CUSTOMER to discontinue use if deemed necessary.
Client and employee feedback is one of the greatest gifts a home care provider can receive. A blend of both positive and negative feedback will help you understand what is going well as well as where you need to focus your efforts to improve.
HOME CARE PULSE, LLC has designed its interviews to capture both positive and negative feedback by allowing the employees interviewed to remain anonymous. It is vital to keep this feedback highly confidential. If employees were to realize CUSTOMER was aware of their identity, they may no longer give the gift of a complaint, in fear of repercussions. Even a "thank you" to an employee for positive feedback can have a negative effect for future interviews. The information obtained is not intended to be used for individual employee recognition or disciplinary action. Employee satisfaction is meant for the CUSTOMER and/or executives to take ground level employee feedback and use it for high level improvements. There is no better place to find out where or how you can improve than to listen to the people on the front lines.
Unlike employee satisfaction interviews, the majority of client satisfaction interviews are NOT anonymous. Though HOME CARE PULSE, LLC gives clients/responsible parties the option to remain anonymous, the majority of the time they allow HOME CARE PULSE, LLC to use their names. The purpose of this is so CUSTOMER's home care business can make specific improvements related directly to the client interviewed. CUSTOMER agrees not to call its clients/responsible parties, who have performed an interview, and ask them why they scored CUSTOMER so poorly or why they said something negative about CUSTOMER's agency or employee. More often than not, this approach will reflect poorly on CUSTOMER and its agency, and sends the message to the client/responsible party that CUSTOMER is not focused on using their scores and feedback to improve the quality of care they are receiving. CUSTOMER may call them and thank them for their feedback and reassure that CUSTOMER will use it to help improve the overall quality of care for all their clients. This latter approach will go a long way with CUSTOMER's clients/responsible parties and send the message that their satisfaction is a high priority.
CUSTOMER hereby authorizes HOME CARE PULSE, LLC to share with all current and future reputation management partner companies with whom they have entered into legally binding agreement(s), CUSTOMER's home care business client feedback, ratings, and any Best of Home Care awards CUSTOMER has earned or may earn in the future, for the purpose of promoting CUSTOMER's home care business to prospective clients. The Home Care Pulse Quality Management Program is used to gather feedback from CUSTOMER's clients and caregivers. This feedback may consist of both positive and negative ratings and reviews about CUSTOMER's home care business. Errors do occur and in the event CUSTOMER feels an error has been made in the representation of ratings or reviews, CUSTOMER will contact HOME CARE PULSE, LLC directly to appeal the interview ratings and reviews. HOME CARE PULSE, LLC has the final decision to reject or not reject CUSTOMER's request for interview review based upon HOME CARE PULSE, LLC's established interview appeal guidelines. HOME CARE PULSE, LLC will automatically set the percentage of CUSTOMER's client feedback and ratings that are sent to each reputation management company using a random distribution methodology. At any time, CUSTOMER can adjust the percentage of reviews being sent to each reputation management company or completely stop any reviews and feedback from being sent to reputation management companies through CUSTOMER's Home Care Pulse online account. Unless explicitly stated herein, nothing in these terms shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. CUSTOMER represents, warrants, and agrees that no materials of any kind submitted to HOME CARE PULSE, LLC or otherwise posted, transmitted, or shared by them will violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other personal or proprietary rights, or contain libelous, defamatory, or otherwise unlawful material. Further, HOME CARE PULSE, LLC is not responsible or liable in any manner for any user content or third party applications, software, or content posted on any website or in connection with its Service, whether posted or caused by users of the website, by any reputation management company, by third parties, or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in any website or Service. CUSTOMER understands and agrees HOME CARE PULSE, LLC does not control and is not responsible for what others post, transmit, or share on any website and are not responsible for any offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, or otherwise objectionable content CUSTOMER or any other person may encounter on any website.

Any waiver by the parties of any breach of any obligation or covenant herein contained to be kept and performed by the CUSTOMER shall not be deemed or considered as a continuing waiver, and shall not operate to bar or prevent HOME CARE PULSE, LLC from declaring a forfeiture for any succeeding breach, either of the same condition, covenant, or otherwise.
CUSTOMER agrees to indemnify HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents against and from all third party officers, directors, and employees from any and all third party liability, losses, damages, obligations, judgments, claims, causes of action, and expenses associated therewith (including settlements, judgments, court costs and attorneys' fees as and when incurred) to the extent resulting from or arising out of directly or indirectly any acts, errors, omissions, or gross negligence associated with CUSTOMER's dealings with any third party. CUSTOMER warrants and agrees that in no event will HOME CARE PULSE, LLC or its directors, employees, or agents be liable to CUSTOMER or any third person for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including for any lost profits or lost data arising from CUSTOMER's use of any of HOME CARE PULSE, LLC's Services, any platform applications, or any of the site content or other materials on, accessed through, or downloaded from, even if HOME CARE PULSE, LLC is aware or has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, HOME CARE PULSE, LLC's liability to CUSTOMER for any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by CUSTOMER to HOME CARE PULSE, LLC for Services during the term of this Agreement, but in no case will HOME CARE PULSE, LLC's liability exceed $1,000.00. CUSTOMER acknowledges if no fees are paid to HOME CARE PULSE, LLC for the Service, CUSTOMER shall be limited to injunctive relief only, unless otherwise permitted by law, and shall not be entitled to damages of any kind from HOME CARE PULSE, LLC regardless of the cause of action. Certain state and provincial laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to CUSTOMER, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to CUSTOMER, and CUSTOMER understands it may have additional rights.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to be the relationship of principal and agent, or a partnership, or of a joint venture, between HOME CARE PULSE, LLC and CUSTOMER. It being agreed neither the method of this Agreement, nor any other provision named herein, nor any act of the parties herein, shall be deemed to create any type of a relationship between the parties hereto.
The provisions of this Agreement will be binding on an inure to the benefit of the parties' permitted successors and assigns. HOME CARE PULSE may assign or transfer this Agreement without prior written consent of the other party.
If any portion or provision of this Agreement is deemed or held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

The law is a powerful tool for individuals and communities seeking housing justice if they have the support of people who know how to use it.
HJC uses a range of strategies to push for the protection of tenants facing displacement or discirmination, the production of more affordable housing by combating barriers to the creation of affordable housing in communities across the state, and using both federal and administrative processes to preserve subsidized and unsubsidized affordable housing.
Legal Advocacy and Impact Litigation
Effective legal advocacy can be something as small as writing a demand letter to an agency pushing them to enforce their own administrative rules, to pursuing litigation to uphold both local and national laws, enforce fair housing and affordable housing planning requirements, and to challenge NIMBYism by local groups opposing affordable housing.
More than $2 million in new federal housing resources every year in the state of Minnesota are a direct result of HJC's legal advocacy work. Additionally, HJC's legal advocacy has led to more than $5 million in one-time federal funding invested in Minnesota over the past five years.
Policy and Coalition Advocacy
The rights of renters are only as strong as the law and administrative rules that support these rights. HJC works with our coalition partners on the local, state, and national level to advocate for policy changes that will protect the rights of people who need affordable housing, expand the supply of deeply affordable housing opportunities, and preserve critical affordable housing resources.
HJC has been a part of developing major state level policies, including statutes related to the preservation of federally subsidized affordable housing and protections for manufactured home park residents. On the local level, our policy advocacy efforts created a playbook for communities to address the loss of NOAH properties and protect displaced tenants. On the national level our work has unlocked $1.6 million in annual federal investment in Minnesota communities.
For 20 years, HJC has developed cutting edge research and strategies to address issues of affordable housing preservation, production, and tenant protection. We also strive to make the housing conversation accessible to community members and organizational partners so that more people can have a voice in determining what happens in their communities and who benefits from affordable housing investments. We do this by:
Defining the problem and developing solutions
Monitoring what is happening with subsidized housing
Demystifying housing so that people can be part of the discussion


Looking forward to gathering Sunday after worship with Michael Vinson to review our ministry priorities and renew our commitment to those priorities. A lot has changed in a year and some of those priorities may have changed…and that's OKAY! We want to focus on areas our members and friends feel called to and are excited about.
Thanks to Lori Moore and Green Cuisine for providing lunch. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Family Emergency Behind Stephen Colbert's Absence
Comedy Central viewers accustomed to watching hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert back-to-back were surprised last night to find that while The Daily Show was new, The Colbert Report was in re-runs — and after a day of speculation, small tidbits of information are beginning to leak out.
Rumors were fueled early in the day when Comedy Central said that filming had been suspended for the rest of the week, then refused to specify why.
Now sources close to Colbert have told The Wall Street Journal that a family emergency demanded his attention, but did not specify the nature of that emergency.
Other sources close to the show told The Associated Press that The Colbert Report would return to new episodes soon, but did not say when.

What causes cryptocurrency price to rise or drop?
What causes prices to rise or drop?
You've seen digital currency enthusiasts making money through trading and investing in crypto assets. Maybe you've heard about extraordinary financial returns or listened to fellow Bitcoin for Beginners community members chatting about their crypto trading mistakes on YouTube. As you've witnessed others exploring the exciting and highly volatile world of crypto assets, maybe you've wanted to get involved in investing as well, especially if you believe in a bright future for digital currencies.
If you are interested in investing, you've likely heard about Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis. These are the two dominant theories of investing used in traditional markets and — by extension — when investing in crypto assets. Some investors use one type of analysis more than the other, while many other folks chose to leverage a combination of the two philosophies depending on their strategies and long-term goals. As more and more people get involved in investing in digital currency and crypto assets, understanding the two philosophies and what they mean can help you develop a set of values for your own investing style.
We can frame this discussion by understanding the two styles as they relate to traditional assets, and then we can use that to discuss how the styles relate to crypto investing.
Where Do the Analysis Methods Come From?
The terms Fundamental and Technical analysis come from options trading philosophies. Using these methods, an investor gathers information in order to inform how they will place trades for assets (usually stocks in traditional asset trading).
Fundamental analysis involves valuing the company or technology underlying an asset and using that valuation to inform investment decisions. Fundamental analysis requires a lot more understanding of a business and its surrounding dynamics before placing a trade, and usually, trades placed using fundamental analysis are held for the long term.
In crypto investing, fundamental analysis requires understanding market forces, geopolitical and legal dynamics, and of course the underlying technology of a digital currency. Investors using fundamental analysis to decide whether to buy and hold cryptocurrencies are betting that those particular digital currencies will be around for a long time and will yield more value over time. Of course, fundamentals for crypto also include the regulatory environment. We see Bitcoin take a hit each time a new country or entity threatens regulating or taxing crypto.
Technical analysis involves gathering data to observe past results that could be repeated in the future. Technical analysis requires reading charts, looking for patterns, and conducting statistical analyses to determine whether to place a trade, as well as preferable entries and exits.
There are many different techniques within technical analysis. Some are simple — like tracking moving averages — while others are very complex — such as Fibonacci levels or Elliott waves. There are tons of books on the subject and it would behoove any budding trader to learn about some of the basics techniques. While some say technical analysis does not apply to crypto due to its volatility, consider that people are the ones trading crypto and, regardless of the underlying asset, human psychology plays a big role.
Below is a side-by-side comparison of Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. Take a look and see if one or the other best matches your trading strategy.
The analysis method that speaks to you the most will likely depend on your individual background. Those who have experience in "conventional" trading may find it more simple to transition to technical analysis with crypto assets, while those with any variety of business strategy backgrounds may find it more intuitive to use fundamental analysis. If you decide to invest in cryptocurrencies, it is important to use a little bit of both to create predictions.
It can be particularly powerful to marry what you can pick up through the technicals of an asset's chart prices with what you discover about the fundamentals of its underlying technology. No one is going to look at the market in exactly the same way as you or even have the same opinions about what given technical analyses mean. You want to build a story yourself and be confident in the trades that you place, so dive into the tools available to you and see what works best for your style.
For example, on the technical side, you will want to study a currency's price trends whether or not you decide to run highly complex analyses on the numbers underlying the chart. Something as simple as an asset's relative volatility will inform whether or not it's something you want to invest in for a given period of time.
On the fundamental side, you will always want to make sure you understand the underlying technology and keep tabs on global regulations of crypto assets. Cryptocurrency is a rapidly evolving field, and so investment and technical regulations and changes will dramatically impact outcomes; assets can disappear overnight, and the passage of a new law can create sweeping modifications to an asset's price.
Sometimes a very wealthy investor referred to as a "whale" in the crypto world, decides to buy or sell many coins at once. Particularly for coins with a low market capitalization, a large market order can have a huge impact on the supply and demand dynamics, and change the price. With lesser-known coins, market manipulation is often the reasons that their price swings by hundreds of percentage points. Chaincoin was a great example of this: via a coordinated effort, many people bought and held this coin, cause the price to shoot up… until some of them decided to dump their holdings and take in profits.
If the price of a coin rises for a sustained period of time, investors will decide to lock in their profits, and start selling. If lots of investors do this at around the same price point, the value of the coin will drop. Not all investors have a HODL mindset, so this simple explanation is often right.
If a coin, or software or service related to it, is compromised by hackers, the price of the currency may dip because of lost confidence in the project. This happened to the Ethereum ecosystem in the summer of 2017. There were a series of hacks affecting exchanges, ICO funds, and multi-sig wallets, followed by a drop in the price of Ethereum for several weeks afterward.
Crypto project teams often make announcements to their community on social media. These announcements can be regarding new alliances, team members, advisors, initiatives, or any number of relevant topics, and frequently affect demand for a coin depending on how they are received by the community. You can oftentimes catch the latest news about a particular coin on Reddit, Twitter, or a crypto news aggregator site such as CryptoPanic (www.cryptopanic.com).
Before an official announcement by a project team, rumors will almost always leak out. Many people try to beat the price swings that follow an official announcement and will buy or sell based on these whisperings. For example, NEO's price jumped ahead of a supposedly large announcement in November 2017. Investors were buying in anticipation of a big announcement, but when the actual news was underwhelming, the price dropped back to pre-rumor levels.
If a coin is about to undergo a change, such as a fork, upgrade, or coin burn, the price may fluctuate. New features or a highly-contested fork are valid reasons for changes in confidence in a given project, and will accordingly affect the price. If some coins are to be burned, the remaining coins might be viewed as more valuable. Or if a company misses a planned release date, the price of the coin could drop heavily as investors lose confidence in that team to deliver. Some examples of changes that affected prices are Ethereum's Homestead release, Vertcoin's block-rewards halving, and Electroneum's delayed launch.
Any conclusion you draw should never be used in isolation. Ideally, you're making informed decisions based on a mosaic of ideas, and the more methodologies you have in your toolbox, the better off you are.
Always remember: do not invest what you aren't prepared to lose!

The Scrum framework is ideally suited for organisations carrying out project development using small teams. A typical Scrum team consists of a product owner, a scrum master, and up to seven to eight cross-functional development team members. It is easy to implement Scrum in a project when the team size does not exceed ten or twelve members, at the most. However, at times, organisations have to develop larger projects and require additional developers to complete the project in time. In such cases, the team size would naturally have to increase to include additional team members.
Now, according to the Scrum process, each event in the framework is time boxed and should not exceed the duration specifically allotted for it. For example, if the team consists of eight members, and the daily scrum meeting is to extend for a maximum of fifteen minutes, each team member would get approximately two minutes to provide the daily feedback. This duration is sufficient, as the main objective of a stand up is to briefly discuss what the team did yesterday, what it proposes to do today, and whether the team faced any problems the previous working day. Each team member can summarise these three questions in the time allotted to him or her.
Now, if we take up a scenario in which a large team is participating in the stand up, say eighteen developers in all, it would mean that each team member now has less than a minute to give the feedback. It would be very difficult to avail a proper understanding about what the entire team did the previous day since the team members have been unable to report their complete status owing to a restriction in the daily stand up time. Feedback plays a very important part in the inspect and adapt principles which are so very important in Scrum. When the feedback system is hampered, sufficient inputs are not obtained from the process flow, and Scrum may start losing its effectiveness in supporting the self-correction activities.
So, how can organisations develop big projects requiring large development teams using Scrum? Scrum of Scrum provides a viable alternative of using Scrum to develop projects requiring large teams.
It is not feasible, and not practical, for a big number of team members to work together and collaborate using traditional Scrum. If a large team were to use Scrum, the team would require a large hall to conduct the daily scrum and each member would have seconds and not minutes to provide the feedback. If manual Scrum methods are followed, the team would also require a Scrum board the size of a small theatre screen to pin the story cards, and even if it were so done, each team member might require a stool or a small ladder to climb up and read the current sprint status during the daily sprints. The review and retrospective events would not be able to gather feedback from so many members. The inspect and adapt principles would be compromised upon since the volume of feedback would be too large for the team to handle and a special process might have to set up to analyse and summarise the feedback received from each team member. This would take a lot of time, and the efforts put in would end up being counterproductive.
Scrum has to be scaled up to include larger teams if big projects are to be developed. In Scrum of scrums, the entire Scrum team is divided into smaller groups, with each group consisting of between five to ten members. Each group functions as an independent Scrum team. Moreover, each team selects one person – usually the Scrum master – who represents the team. The representatives from each of the teams participate in the Scrum events on behalf of his or her particular team. Just as the Scrum process supports the review and retrospective events, a special "parent" process supports the same events, however with certain subtle differences.
The Scrum of scrum process proceeds normally as per the traditional Scrum process. However, the team representatives in lieu of the development team members attend the events. The representatives report the statuses, completion levels of the sprint, impediments faced by the team members, and next steps to be planned, and to be taken by their respective Scrum teams. Technical problems and issues are resolved through collaboration and joint efforts of all involved teams. The individual teams might have to negotiate with respect to the responsibilities accepted or given, and ascertaining the authority levels. The Scrum of scrum may maintain a unique product backlog of its own to track the group teams' activity.
The Scrum of scrums is also known as a "meta Scrum"


Apart from the confusion caused by the law ministry's definition of an 'associate' which helps various 2G scam accused get away, or Trai doing a volte-face on whether it had recommended auctions, the CBI probe is getting increasingly directionless, indeed many parts of it appear contradictory. Last week, it gave a clean chit to Datacom for jumping the queue for licences while it has charge-sheeted Swan and Unitech Wireless for the same thing. Datacom was sixth out of nine applicants who submitted their applications before September 25, 2007, but thanks to the tweaking of the first-come first-served criterion, it emerged at the top position in 19 circles and the second position in Delhi and Mumbai, thereby ensuring it got the scarce spectrum.
Similarly, though the CBI is probing licences given several years ago, it has yet to file any charges on the dual technology licences that were also given out in 2008, indeed it has given a clean chit to Tata Teleservices. Yet, as is well known, dual technology licences were given out to three firms even before the policy was announced through a press release. Apart from this obvious illegality, even if dual technology licences were to be given, the CBI needs to probe why Trai recommendations on this were ignored—on higher annual charges for instance—and how dual technology firms got their licences before the 575 applicants before them. This was also a decision Raja took, but the CBI hasn't even looked at this. The CBI's argument will probably be that TDSAT had cleared this, so it is not probing it. Two points here. One, the TDSAT decision has been challenged in the Supreme Court. Two, if court decisions were the criterion, why is the CBI probing the matter of excess spectrum held by telcos like Bharti and Vodafone—in December 2010, when Tata Teleservices challenged the allocation of extra spectrum, TDSAT ruled the spectrum had been given legally, in keeping with government policy. The CBI needs to explain the obvious contradictions in its stance.

Homeless Man With "Golden Voice" Finds Happy Ending After Incredible Offers
By The Movie God | @ | January 5th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Earlier today, we shared with you the story that's been sweeping the country about a homeless man with one of the best radio voices you'll ever hear, a happy ending has already presented itself.
While doing a lengthy radio interview with WNCI 97.9 in Columbus, Ohio, Ted Williams — now clean-cut and looking in much higher spirits — talked about becoming an overnight sensation and how all he was really humbly looking for was a second chance. The radio DJs that brought him in, Dave & Jimmy, were so inspired by his story that they wanted to get him on the air, and see if they could get any job or work opportunities to come through for Ted. What happened after that was nothing short of amazing.
In the first part, the station fielded some calls from people who had been moved by the story. The first was associated with MTV and wanted to fly Williams out to LA for some work as a guest announcer on one of their shows. Next up came a pair of people who turned out to be two of the top voice over talents working today — even going so far as to show off their talents as the guy we hear on CBS promos and the woman we hear during the Academy Awards telecast — who wanted to offer Williams the chance to compete in a competition to find the next big voice.
You can watch the video of that interview by clicking RIGHT HERE, and you can keep reading for an even more amazing offer and to see Ted Williams on The Early Show.

According to The LA Times, the popular online media-viewing website, Hulu, is getting ready to begin testing a system where users would pay $9.95 per month to watch their favorite TV shows on the site.
The set-up, which may start by late May, would allow anyone to freely watch the newest five episodes of shows from bigger networks such as Fox, NBC, and ABC, but would require you to become a paid monthly subscribers in order to see anything else and catch up with whole seasons.

'Percy Jackson' Star Logan Lerman Possible 'Spider-Man' Candidate?
By The Movie God | @ | February 4th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
When it was announced that Sony had decided to completely incinerate their plans for a fourth Spider-Man, as well as everyone involved from director Sam Raimi to stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, we could only imagine who might step in and replace them for the proposed overhaul of the franchise.
Not too long after that, it was announced that (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb would be the new man at the wheel, and now we're beginning to hear the names that could become Spider-Man himself.
In a chat with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush, Logan Lerman was pointed out as a prime candidate for the new Spider-Man, and was then asked if he was in any sort of talks about the role. Lerman excitedly admitted that he has had conversations with Sony and the producers of the film, and that he's hoping that more talks will follow. He also admitted that it was the producers who sought him out, and not the other way around — surely a good sign for Lerman, whether he lands the role or not.

For this special feature that they're running, Fox was kind enough to present them with a behind the scenes look with James Cameron and others into the making of Avatar, and the motion capture technology used in creating the Na'vi species.
The video is basically aimed at informing people of just how complicated the process of motion capture performances really are. Many people think that because it's animated, then it must just all be done in computers, and this is not the case at all. Unlike hand-drawn Disney and Pixar animated films, for example, these movies actually require living, breathing actors to perform in the film with every bit as much of themselves as a live-action film would. Everything all the way down to their facial movements and reactions are scanned and entered into the computer so that the animated portions can be molded around them. As they put it in the video, this technology is basically a way to avoid putting the actor into a chair for however many hours a day to receive makeup and prosthetic work.

The Geeks Of Doom Guide To Geeky Halloween Costumes
By The Movie God | @ | October 24th, 2009 at 10:31 am
We at Geeks of Doom love Halloween. The smell in the air, the leaves changing color to mark the occasion, and all of the old edited horror movies playing over and over on your TV make it one of the most entertaining and exciting times of year.
Back in 2006, we compiled a list of some of the best geek costumes on the market for those of you who do not yet have an idea as to what you want to be. It's already been three years now, so we thought it was about time to compile another epic list of costume options for the undecided (which includes myself).
While checking these costumes out, keep some things in mind — most importantly: pretty much every costume that you see will have multiple styles of varying price and quality. The majority of the ones we have here are in the $30-$50 range, but you can find really high-quality "Deluxe" versions of the costume that will run you in the $100-$200 dollar range. These are for the folks who have money to spare and love authenticity. If you're out of your freakin' mind, there's even Batman and Darth Vader costumes that will run you $700+ dollars. If you don't like the one we've linked to, just search the character and check out all of the others that exist. Most costumes have children's versions available, too. We've included some great kids' costumes, but if you find an adult one you'd like for the little ones, just search it out!
Also worth keeping in mind: a lot of these costumes have female counter-costumes that would be perfect for couples looking to match up. Oh, and it won't be stupid like going as a plug and an electrical socket. Tee-hee.
Many, many costume options were found for men, women, children, and pets, so please continue on and check some of them out!

Tired Of Trying To Guess The Best Time To Hit The Bathroom During A Movie? Help Has Arrived In RunPee!
By The Movie God | @ | October 21st, 2009 at 7:27 pm
If you love movies like we do, then you've all been in this position before: you're sitting in a crowded theater (sometimes right in the middle and surrounded by strangers you'd have to crawl over), and you suddenly have to go to the bathroom really, really bad. You sit there quietly, squirming in your seat, trying to figure out when the very best time to make your move would be. You hope the scene where everyone is sitting in a room talking out a gameplan will be the perfect moment, but deep down you fear that you will return to find out the zombies came in and ate everyone's face right when they figured out the perfect strategy!
Well, fear not, someone got the brilliant idea of making a website where you can go and find the ideal moments for your much-needed potty break, right down to the very second. The site is called RunPee, and it knows your pain and is here to help.

Religious Denominations in the United States
July 16, 2016 July 16, 2016 MicahLeave a comment
There is no shortage of religious denominations in America. According to most estimates, there are upwards of 200 reasonably sized Christian denominations alone in America.
The Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA) website contains an impressive amount of information about the religious makeup of the United States. Despite the increasing influence of secularism in America, Christians still make up about 70-80% of the American population, with the exact number depending on how "Christian" is defined. Here's a chart of how other religions stack up:
Percent of American population that adheres to each religion
American Christianity can typically be divided into smaller groups based on common beliefs. Most broadly, Christians can be thought of as being either Catholic or Protestant. Based on fairly recent estimates, there are about twice as many Protestant Christians in America than there are Catholics. Using information from ARDA, I created a map of the United States that shows if there are more Catholic or Protestant Christians in each state:
As you can see, the vast majority of states (42 of them) have more Protestant Christians than Catholics. Only 8 states, all situated on the upper East Coast, have more Catholics than Protestants.
The Protestant Christian category can be further subdivided into Mainline Protestants and Evangelical Protestants. The Mainline Protestant category would include, for example, certain Reformed churches like the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and the Episcopal Church. This category also includes the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Many of these churches are more theologically liberal than their Evangelical Protestant counterparts.
The other category, Evangelical Protestant, is typically composed of various Baptist, Pentecostal, Anglican, and some Reformed churches. This category would also include the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS) and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Most churches in the Evangelical category are known for being theologically and socially conservative.
Broken down into percentage, about 60% of Protestants belong to Evangelical churches, while the other 40% belong to Mainline churches.
There are a few other religious groups that have a strong showing in America, such as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), Judaism, and Islam. Using information from ARDA, I created another two maps that show the largest and second largest denominations in each state:
Only two non-Christian religious groups show up on these maps –
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons (although they are widely considered by many to be just another Christian group, their vast theological differences from historical Christianity are enough, in my mind, to consider them far outside of the Christian Church.) Looking between both of the above maps, it's obvious that the Mormon Church has a great foothold in the Westernmost states, and, interestingly, Hawaii.
Orthodox Judaism, which is the second largest religious denomination in New York
You might note that even in many states that have more Protestants than Catholics, the Catholic Church is still the largest single denomination. This is because Protestantism is so divided into different denominations and the number is split between them.
On the first map, it can be easily seen that the Southern Baptist Convention is the most prominent religious group in states around the "Bible Belt," a region that is well-known for Evangelical Protestants with social conservatism.
On the second map, it's also apparent that Lutheranism has a good showing within the Northeastern Midwest in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is very prominent in these states, and the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod is the second largest denomination in Nebraska, only behind the Catholic Church.
The United Methodist Church has an impressive number of adherents in the middle of the Eastern portion of America, and is actually the denomination with the most adherents in West Virginia.
In Maryland, Alaska, and New Jersey, non-denominational Christians were the second largest "group." I put them on the map because I thought it was very interesting that there were that many Christians without a denomination. If non-denominational Christians aren't considered for this map (due to the fact that they are, as per their name, not a denomination), then the second largest group in Alaska is the Mormon Church, the second largest in Maryland is the United Methodist Church, and the second largest in New Jersey is Islam.
Here's an interesting factoid: During the process of gathering information for these maps, I visited all 50 states' Wikipedia pages to look for summaries of their religious demographics. Out of all of the 50 states, Vermont's page was the only one that did not contain a section on religious demographics. In fact, the words "religion" and "Christian" do not even appear at all on Vermont's Wikipedia page.
Although many of the more mainstream groups within American Christianity have abandoned some of the most basic Christian Biblical principles, we still ought to be thankful that the vast majority of Americans at least identify themselves as Christians. It is our mission as followers of Christ to live out our vocations and contribute to the things that make this nation great.

Q: What is the difference between including .h files and c/cpp files? Everyone points out the "one definition rule". I'm not going to define any of my stuff in c/cpp files but instead, i'm going to use them for only declarations.
One cpp file:
int add(int x, int y);

The other cpp file:
#include<one.cpp>
int add(int x, int y)
{
    return x + y;
}

The other cpp file:
#include<one.cpp>
int main()
{
    int result = add(2,2);
}

Basically the same thing, but instead of .h, i use .cpp. Difference?
One definition rule is not applicable here.
And yes, last question, why is everyone says that using headers and this technique reduces compile time? How exactly does that work?

A: The compiler doesn't care about file extensions and thus there is no difference for the compiler. What matters here is that it is a well known and accepted convention that declarations (what something does) go into .h files and definitions & implementations (how something does that) go into .cpp files. If you don't follow this convention you will confuse other readers, which is a big problem if you're ever going to work on bigger projects. And then you'll be that guy that nobody wants to work with on a project anymore because you confuse other project members and then you'll lose your job just because you couldn't just follow that damn convention.

And yes, last question, why is everyone says that using headers and
  this technique reduces compile time? How exactly does that work?

I think you're referring to precompiled header files in which case this question has some good answers.

Finney-Smith shot 50 percent or better from the field in only 27 of his team-leading 81 games played. For the season, Finney-Smith shot 37.2 percent from the field and 29.3 percent from 3-point range.
Finney-Smith isn't going to become a lights-out shooter overnight, but the sports cliché says most players take their biggest strides going into the second season.
Jamahl Mosley, an assistant coach who serves as head coach of the Las Vegas squad, agrees that Year 2 is where you should see the most improvement, particularly with players such as Finney-Smith and point guard Yogi Ferrell.
For Finney-Smith, that other level must come on offense. He averaged 4.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per game last season after going undrafted out of Florida.
But Finney-Smith doesn't view himself as a player deserving of the undrafted label, and proved it. He became a lockdown defender under the guidance of the Mavericks' best perimeter defender, Wesley Matthews.
It won't be surprising to see Finney-Smith develop, either. He had an impressive college career at Florida. He was named to the second-team All-SEC as a junior and senior, and averaged 14.7 points and 8.3 rebounds a game as a senior.
That is in the past now.
Finney-Smith, 24, is part of a young contingent the Mavericks hope to build around that includes first-round pick Dennis Smith Jr. (19), Nerlens Noel (23), Nicolas Brussino (24) and Harrison Barnes (25).
Finney-Smith spent much of his time last season playing small forward, but is getting more time at power forward this off-season. The 6-foot-8, 220-pounder is familiar with that position from college.
As the Mavs player with the most NBA minutes on the Vegas roster, Finney-Smith knows several players will look to him for pointers and leadership.
Plus, like most within the organization, he's ready to see how highly touted rookie Smith Jr. handles himself.
The Miami Heat were in the midst Thursday of completing a trade with the Mavericks, the Miami Herald reported.
Yahoo Sports! reported that Miami will send forward Josh McRoberts (on the final year of a $6 million deal) and a future second-round pick to Dallas for center A.J. Hammons, a 2016 second-rounder who could be released to free up salary cap space.
After landing former Celtics center Kelly Olynyk with a four-year, $50 million deal, the Heat need cap space to re-sign forward James Johnson and guard Wayne Ellington.
In a 10-year career, McRoberts, 30, has averaged 5.4 points and 3.9 rebounds.


It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a hell of a lot of bats!
Bats aren't exactly commonly sighted in most parts of North America. The nocturnal mammals prefer living in areas close to the equator, and make their homes in woods, rainforests, mountains, farmland, and even cities. If you think about it, you probably don't remember the last time you spotted one! But once a year, a festival is dedicated to seeing over a million bats fly overhead in what can only be described as one hell of scene.
Bat Fest, which takes place in Austin, Texas, every year, celebrates the Mexican free-tailed bats. The population has become the largest urban bat colony in North America, so this truly is a one-of-a-kind experience. At dusk, 1.5 million bats emerge from under the Congress Ave Bridge and soar through the sky. It's an insane photo-op, and a great reminder to appreciate all animals, even those that don't live inside our homes.
The 14th annual Bat Fest takes place from 4 p.m. to midnight, but the bats typically take flight between 7 to 8:45 p.m. and it can last for up to a half an hour. But if you're not in the mood to fight the crowds that the event is sure to draw in, you can see the big flight from March to October, about 20 minutes before sundown.
This year's fest will take place on Saturday, August 18, 2018 and features live music, food and drink vendors, and arts and craft vendors. There are kids' activities, and even a bat costume contest (because why not?). Early-bird tickets are $15, or $20 cash at the gate. Kids ages 8 and under are free with an adult.

The Capture episode 5 reveals what REALLY happened
Secrets were uncovered in the penultimate episode of the BBC conspiracy thriller
By Eleanor Bley Griffiths
Tuesday, 1st October 2019 at 10:00 pm
Ever since episode one, we've been tying ourselves in knots trying to work out the truth behind The Capture.
What had we missed? Was there a plausible explanation behind Hannah Roberts' disappearance and murder, and everything that followed? And in the final reckoning would this conspiracy thriller make any sense at all?
Meet the cast of BBC conspiracy thriller The Capture
The Capture episode 4 delivers some answers – and a LOT more questions
Where is The Capture filmed?
Thankfully, we now have some answers.
In episode five, writer Ben Chanan winds back the clock and shows us how it all fits together…
The Capture explained: what really happened?
Just as we figured, the Pilgrims of Justice are an activist group – but the didn't rescue Shaun Emery (Callum Turner) from that police chase because they believed in his cause; instead, they were the ones who set him up in the first place. The problem was that their (extremely ludicrous) scheme went completely off the rails.
The Pilgrims are outraged by the authorities' secret policy of "correction", i.e. the planting of manipulated footage in CCTV feeds using the latest "deepfake" technology to incriminate suspects. This "correction" process had also been deployed in Operation Sycamore, back when DI Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) was the naive police officer set up to "discover" the "corrected" CCTV which showed terror suspects meeting their ringleader.
Alma Dahmani (Adelayo Adedayo) is a member of the Pilgrims, but she is also the brother of Faisal Dahmani, whose conviction for terrorism was (apparently) based entirely on "corrected" footage. It was human rights lawyer Hannah Roberts (Laura Haddock) who represented him in court.
To expose the practice of "correction" and exonerate Faisal, the Hannah and the Pilgrims came up with a plan. First they'd get British soldier Shaun Emery out of jail by exposing the flaw in the Afghanistan helmet-cam footage, making him more of a cause célèbre than ever; then they would use their own "corrected" footage to frame him for the assault and disappearance of Hannah Roberts.
Naturally, Shaun would be prosecuted and put on trial, but then – twist! – Hannah would waltz into the courtroom, very much alive, and expose the authorities' evil doings and everyone would live happily ever after. Foolproof. Nothing could go wrong.
So before Shaun even had his appeal hearing or walked free, the Pilgrims of Justice put together their own film shoot. Hannah played herself, while the role of "Shaun" was played by Ryan (Frederick Szkoda) in the soldier's uniform. They acted out the brutal attack and kidnapping, and then the Pilgrims – with the help of would-be whistleblower Eli Jacobi (Alexander Forsyth) from the CIA – stitched Shaun's face on top of Ryan's. The footage was ready to be inserted into the feed at exactly the right moment.
Engineering "exactly the right moment" meant getting Shaun to fall in love with Hannah, go to the loo, come back, realise she'd left without him, abandon his own party at the pub, jump in his grandfather's car, race after her, and catch up with her at the bus stop for a heart-to-heart. This seems wildly implausible (so many things could have gone wrong! The ENTIRE operation hinged on this!).
But what do you know – Shaun took the bait. (Suspend your disbelief!)
Initially it panned out perfectly. Hannah jumped on the bus and got off undetected (and because of the time delay on the CCTV feed, the police didn't check the right bus's cameras). She then "disappeared" to a remote safe house. Meanwhile, CCTV monitor Becky (Sharon Rooney) spotted the "attack" and called the police. Shaun was arrested later that night.
However, the plan soon started to go wrong. When DI Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) sent in the CCTV footage to her old mates in SO15, they ran facial recognition and immediately identified the perpetrator as Shaun, and the victim as Hannah Roberts, i.e. the human rights lawyer involved in the Faisal case. This quickly went up the chain of command to SO15 boss Danny Hart (Ben Miles) and security services spook DSU Gemma Garland (Lia Williams) and CIA man Frank Napier (Ron Perlman).
The Pilgrims hadn't reckoned on their faked-up crime immediately being flagged as "suspicious." (And we have to note: surely this was a MASSIVE oversight? Even if Rachel hadn't sent that footage to SO15, the case would have been high-profile and heavily-scrutinised anyway, so making Faisal's barrister Hannah the "victim" in this case would naturally raise red flags with the security services. Just saying.)
Being both smarter and cannier than the Pilgrims had expected, the unholy trilogy of Napier, Hart and Garland realised they had to determine if this footage was legit or "corrected" – so they redacted it and let Shaun go, just to see if the homicide team could make the case stand up on their own. Also, by burying the case, they robbed their opponents of the chance to pull off the "Hannah's-not-dead" stunt in court.
The Pilgrims of Justice realised they were in a mess, so they upped the stakes by deciding to plant physical evidence to get Shaun re-arrested. That explains why Ryan went into Hannah's flat to retrieve her engraved necklace. His mission was of course unsuccessful – because Shaun coincidentally chose that exact moment to break into Hannah's flat.
Rachel's team found no other evidence, and Shaun still did not confess, even after Frank Napier kidnapped him and (apparently) tortured his friend while he watched on camera. So the trio had proved to themselves that this was a "correction" engineered by their enemies, with the help of a CIA insider (later revealed as Eli).
But their plan to bury the story went out the window when DS Nadia Latif (Ginny Holder) illegally leaked the CCTV footage onto the internet anyway.
So to stop the Pilgrims of Justice from winning, Frank Napier (with help from Gemma Garland) decided to "make it true" and back up the faked video evidence by killing Hannah and framing Shaun.
Ignoring Danny Hart and his concerns about killing British citizens on British soil, Frank and his heavies tracked Hannah down, killed the guard dog (sob), and then killed her too. Hannah's dead body soon found its way into the boot of a car being driven by Shaun up a motorway, presumably with the collusion of his best pal Mat.
After Shaun saw Hannah's body in the boot and did a runner, the Pilgrims "rescued" Shaun – but not for long, because their back-up plan was to surrender him into police custody anyway. Then, after he was charged and brought to trial, they would swoop in and unveil the unedited CCTV footage, achieving their ultimate aim and exposing the practice of "correction".
Unsurprisingly, Shaun was not on board with this plan. As the police closed in, he created a diversion and (with help from Rachel and DS Patrick Flynn) got away undetected. Now they are all lying low at Rachel's dad's house.
What will happen in the finale of The Capture?
It's all to play for!
Now Rachel Carey is suspended from duty and DS Patrick Flynn (Cavan Clerkin) has gone rogue, hopefully they have some sort of plan. Will they be able to expose the truth? How? Who can they trust – will Rachel's half-sister keep quiet about her new house-guest? And what do they plan to do with Shaun?
Meanwhile, it sounds like Frank Napier and Gemma Garland are planning to threaten, kidnap or even harm Shaun's young daughter. Presumably they want him to come out of hiding so they can catch him – but what will they do to her? And will Shaun take the bait?
Commander Danny Hart is another wildcard. He seems to have had mixed feelings about Hannah's killing, but he's also complicit in this whole thing at the highest level. He revealed the truth to Rachel apparently because he trusted her, but she leaped out of the car before they could finish the conversation. In the final reckoning, where will he stand?
Finally, it's unclear what the Pilgrims' next move could be. Do they have another back-up plan?
All will (hopefully) be revealed in the sixth and final episode…
The finale of The Capture airs on Tuesday 8th October at 9pm on BBC1
