Norway - Full Moon 86 - 10/10/03
Tøyen
Did You Bring Me On National Television To Tell Me This Too?
Racing Junior
2003 seems to be the year of Tøyen. This area of Oslo, which is mainly populated by Asian immigrants, has all of a sudden become 'hip'. Not as in hop, but after the certain success of the movie Buddy (which is located to Tøyen), Tøyen is on, well, not on everybody's, but many a set of lips.
Then there is Tøyen: a duo with two buddies (eh, couldn't resist...), Tollef and Torstein, performing weird, wild and often wonderful pop-electronica by the use of Sony Playstation. A hard act to follow, right. Anyway the two game-boys present their second album. Rita Augestad Knudsen (of Electones), who was singing one of the EP Phone Home songs, has joined in on two of the tracks this time, and Jon Platou Selvig (Salvatore, Moon Orhestra) has been involved in the recording of the album.
Their first album was called Did You Bring Me On National Television To Tell Me This? (released in the US, by Blackbean & Placenta, 2001), and their new album is of course entitled Did You Bring Me On National Television To Tell Me This Too?.
I was introduced to their escapades for the first time via last year's EP EP Phone, and judging by the record titles it's much about humor and having a good time. Tøyen's sound is pretty exotic sounding, drifting off to Eastern parts of the world. They seem to draw inspiration from listening to/seing (I presume) Eastern (India and so), Bollywood films, and stuff like that. Presenting an amusing mix of East meets West. A collision, or coallition of 'modern' Western and 'traditional' Eastern cultures. Or, what such a mixture could be sounding like. Because, as I said, this is a humorous journey, with twists and turns inbetween "worlds" of this world.
Last time they had the entertaining "India Pinidia". This time they present "Paksistan", which is a far more 'serious' song. Tøyen has got plenty of charm, even though things tend to get a bit too over the top, slightly too corny. Best songs are: the catchy opener "1 of a kind", the slightly Kraftwerk-poppy "(The) Face", "Oason", "The Girl" (also found on EP Phone Home, but then in a different mix), and final track "Schleswig-Holstein-Haus". Eastern bunnies!

Little Star Center is expanding services for families and children affected by autism to Bloomington. The new Little Star Center Bloomington will open spring 2014. Center leaders will begin accepting applications for evaluations for learners and staff in January.

Manufacturing has been globalized and supply chains have been extended beyond national borders and across oceans. Raw materials produced in one country are shipped to another country for processing into usable industrial materials, then to another to be turned into parts, which are then assembled into a finished product in yet another country. Although manufacturing has become so global, supply chain management uses the same tracking systems that have been using for sixty years even though so much has changed.
Blockchain is a new technology which has the potential to streamline processes and combine all databases and information on supply chains into one database which is updated in real time whenever an entry is made, streamlining processes and giving live updates to all relevant parties on the chain simultaneously.
DeBeers, responsible for 30% of the world's supply of diamonds, has announced that they will use a blockchain ledger to trace diamonds from mine to consumer. DeBeers will thus be able to certify that none of their stones are blood diamonds. Fura Gems will also use blockchain to trace their stones. As Vikram Pathak of Fura explains, "The way this is used for supply chain management, in the mining industry, is that right from the point of mining a stone – in our case a Colombian emerald or a Mozambican ruby – right through to the consumer's pocket, the stone can be tracked." Such a blockchain "provenance record" will also prevent synthetic stones from being passed off as natural.
Not just the most durable substances on the planet, but also perishable are now being tracked by blockchain. Last year Walmart, with the help of International Business Machines (IBM), began testing blockchain with its live food business. Walmart was able to reduce the time it took to trace a package of sliced mangoes from six days to 2.2 seconds.
Frank Yiannis, vice president of food safety for Walmart, explains that, "the way traceability is done today, each segment of the food system does it their own way. Most actually do it on paper or on systems that don't speak to each other, so you can never have a full view of what's happening in the food system." Walmart will use a chip with a private key, instead of a barcode, which interacts with Walmart's blockchain ledger and provides the entire history of a live food product from grower to refrigerated display.
Avocados grown in Kenya can take 34 days to arrive in The Netherlands; 14 of those days can be spent waiting for information and approvals. The entire shipping process may involve 30 port officials and 200 communications among 100 people. Most of the documentation transferred between port officials involves faxes, phone calls, spreadsheets, emails, and paper carried by motorbike courier.
Tradelens, a previously announced collaboration between IBM and A. P. Moller-Maersk, has now enrolled 92 participants in its effort to orchestrate global trade. Tradelens gives every user its own blockchain node that operates in a manner similar to the way bitcoin allows users to send money without banks. Marie Wieck, IBM head of blockchain, believes Tradelens can cut shipping costs as much as 40%. Using smart contracts, produced by Clearway, the Tradelens document module, all parties involved in the shipping supply chain have a real-time view of all transactions.
Until now blockchain technology has only been available to multinational corporations, but individuals and smaller companies may now have access to technology that will allow them to deliver anything anywhere by anyone they choose. PAKET proposes using blockchain to establish a package delivery ecosystem that will allow supply chain coordination of international transportation giants (like Maersk), delivery companies (like United Parcel Service) and last mile casual couriers (like Uber and Lyft). PAKET proposes that anyone can participate, benefit and profit. Using a secure token-BUL as collateral and compensation for the smart contracts established by and between participants. BUL will be stored in virtual escrow and paid when delivery is successfully completed or refunded if the smart contract has not been fulfilled.
"Airplane brought me a Popsicle," says two year-old Jack Smith of Blacksburg, Virginia. A Hummingbird V2 drone operated by Alphabet's Wing subsidiary has just lowered a Popsicle for Jack that his mother had ordered six minutes earlier. For the first time, the United States Federal Aviation Administration has allowed a delivery flight over a heavily populated area. Jack's Popsicle has completed the last mile of its supply chain journey.
Children in Zhangwei, Jiangsu Province point their fingers and cheer for the "toy plane" that will deliver thirty pounds of supplies ten miles from its base in Suqian, China. The 15-minute drone trip would have taken an hour by road. The adults, who have gotten used to seeing the drone landings, go about their business. The drone is operated by the JD.com control center in Suqian. A JD.com deliveryman meets the drone and completes the last mile of the JD.com supply chain.
When an encrypted key is assigned to every container, package and parcel, the promise of borderless transactions will transfer from the digital to tangible real-world property. The products delivered by drones in Blacksburg, Virginia and Zhangwei, Jiangsu Province began many miles, many days and many stages earlier in places neither Jack nor the villagers in China could know. But someone must know where everything starts, what steps it takes along the way and how much that process adds to the final cost. With the advancement of blockchain technology into supply chain management, everyone involved in production, shipping, wholesaling and retailing of all products, from precious stones to perishable food products, can be made aware of each link in the supply chain as each is connected.


Don't use - I ordered from them last week and had email response from them that my card had been declined, which seemed odd. Then Last night my bank contacted because of fraudulent activity on my account. The site looked legit as it was a google ad...what a fool never buy on your phone at night - doh! I have a pending transaction to a Philippines company for nearly £400! Barclays will refund and picked up the fraudulent activity very quickly. They also tried to buy goods using my account from Jessops and Argos. Annoyed with Google sponsored ad system.
It was an excellent deal and the plant is doing really well in my garden.
Gambling site pretending to be an auction. Terrible experience. They use fake reviews and online articles to appear like a good deal. I look forward to the day they have to repay all us users that were miss sold to.

Imran Syed '20 and his family worked very hard to give him the opportunity to go to college. So when it came time to decide where he would study, he chose a place that would help him achieve his dream of becoming an engineer and give him a safe, quality environment in which to study.
Though leaving home to attend college is seen as a rite of passage into adulthood, Syed's story is a shining example of how dedicated Marietta's students are to become Pioneers. Not only was he just 17 years old when he arrived for his freshman year, Syed was also the only student from India to do so.
There are 170 international students currently earning their degrees at Marietta College. They hail from China, Kuwait, Ghana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Saudi Arabia, England, Japan and India. In this issue of Marietta, The Magazine of Marietta College, a handful of Marietta's international students tell the story of how they chose to study at this small, liberal arts college in Ohio, and how they plan to use their education to achieve their dreams.
This edition also charts the emergence of Marietta football, and pays honor to Professors Dottie Erb and Carole Hancock as they prepare to retire from the College.

Celebrating Culture at Marietta College
Not many people have the opportunity to travel to faraway places like the Congo, Kuwait, China and India to learn about different cultures. At Marietta College, you only have to visit Gilman Dining Hall during lunchtime or stop by the many events on campus to meet, learn from and develop friendships with a diverse group of international students who chose to be educated at this small, liberal arts college in Ohio...
Filling the seats in The Gathering Place, students took a break from their studies to enjoy one of the more popular activities on campus. Some events on campus are hit or miss, in terms of attendance. Bingo Night at Marietta is not one of them. Offering Present Bingo right before fall semester finals? Fun is in the cards.

"The biggest thing that I wanted to do was to put my stamp on the history that was already here. I just wanted to take advantage of everything this region has to offer. During the growing season, we're probably 90-95 percent local. If we can get it local, that's our first option. Anything we can't get sourced locally, we work with our big supplier to have it sourced at least within a 100-mile radius. … We are as close to being a 100 percent from-scratch kitchen as you're going to find. We brine our own corned beef to make our Reubens and corned beef hash, we mix all of our dry ingredients ourselves, we make our own butter and buttermilk, we use a dairy in Pomeroy (Ohio) to get all of our drinking milk and, though we can't get locally grown oranges, we squeeze all of our own orange juice. All of things that I wanted to accomplish, we've been able to accomplish — and we did it in just two years."
Biography: There are certain off-campus locations that spark instant memories to anyone who has ever called Marietta College home. Since 1944, grabbing a bite for breakfast has meant a stop at The Busy Bee Restaurant in Harmar. In 2015, Larry Sloter '02 decided to step away from his career in higher education and banking to use his business and marketing skills to lead the longstanding mom and pop shop. "I work twice as hard but smile twice as much," he says. Since buying the restaurant, Sloter has expanded it to add seating and handicap accessibility, and developed relationships with local farmers and farmers markets to stock the menu with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. He also has reconnected with the College by sharing his knowledge of businesses through Marietta's Entrepreneurship Advisory Board. He and his wife, Kristin Schultheis Sloter '03, live in Marietta with their two sons, Gabe, 14, and Reid, 10.

Culture is vital in building any successful business — it impacts employee retention, performance and revenue. Given culture's significance, it's surprising how often it is relegated to an initiative, usually driven by HR and given a catchy title to imply inclusiveness, great perks or diversity.

Anti-Trump Protests Turn Violent In Phoenix
dericiousknitty August 23, 2017 Jade Helm, Martial Law, New World Order, Race War Agenda, Total Control
Anti-Donald-Trump protests turned into skirmishes with police in Phoenix on Tuesday, as cops unloaded on the crowds gathered outside his rally with tear gas.
In one wince-inducing moment screened on CBS5 and captured on Twitter, one protester – clad in a gas mask – kicked a canister of tear gas back at police.
Seconds later a cloud of dust mushroomed up from his groin and he doubled up in agony.
'A guy just got shot with a rubber bullet,' remarked one host, as the other lapsed into a pained silence.
'So… er… yeah, the officers are not, are not messing around at all,' the host stuttered as the stricken protester was dragged away by an ally.
He was just one of many caught up in the post-rally violence, as cops used nonlethal methods to disperse crowds who had thrown rocks and bottles at them.
An anti-Trump protester was filmed kicking a tear gas canister (both pictured left) towards police after a Trump rally in Phoenix on Tuesday. He was then shot in the groin (right)
Newsreaders said he had been hit by a rubber bullet as he collapsed in agony, and was later helped to his feet and taken away by a friend
The violent scenes came after police tried to disperse crowds of anti-Trump protesters with tear gas following the rally. The anti-Trump crowd were vastly outnumbered by Trump fans
Police fired pepper spray to disperse protesters outside a rally by U.S. President Donald Trump in Phoenix, Arizona
The unrest broke out after Trump swung through the city for a rally designed to fire up his base – which it did, his fans vastly outnumbering anti-Trump protesters.
Supporters and opponents alike gathered in the 107-degree heat, but it was only after the rally that violence broke out.
Police say that protesters threw water bottles and rocks at their lines, causing them to respond in kind with tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and pepper balls.
Clouds of the gas filled the night air as the president's supporters began leaving the downtown Phoenix Convention Center.
At around 11:20pm, Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said that three people had been arrested on charges related to the protest.
She added that one person was arrested on an unrelated warrant, and that two officers were treated for heat exhaustion.
Police have not given an estimate of the number of protesters, but Arizona media said there were several thousand
Four people were arrested during the protest, Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams later said during a news conference

Supporters and opponents alike gathered in the 107-degree heat, but it was only after the rally that violence broke out
Police say that protesters threw water bottles and rocks at their lines, causing them to respond in kind with tear gas
A haze enveloped the night sky as protesters and police clashed outside the convention centre where the president had just wrapped up his speech
Police were seen with riot shields and tear gas guns, and reportedly used rubber bullets and pepper balls on the crowds
Several protesters were seen leaving the scene with tears streaming down their faces, using water to wash the painful chemicals from their eyes
A contingent of protesters stayed behind after the clash with police had ended. Their numbers were small.
Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Nevada by a tenuous 3.5 percentage points last year, and is now polling 7 points lower there than his election total.
So his visit on Tuesday was apparently an attempt to boost that falling number.
In contrast with Monday's calm, measured speech about the prolonged war effort in Afghanistan, Tuesday night's Trump performance was a raucous affair akin to the campaign events that forced America's election prognosticators to rewrite every political rule book.
The president's first audience members began arriving 10 hours before the rally's appointed starting time, standing in Phoenix's concrete city center in temperatures that reached 107 degrees.
Mr Trump had opened his political rally with calls for unity and an assertion that 'our movement is about love', but he then erupted in anger
He blamed the media for widespread condemnation of his response to deadly violence at a white supremacists' protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, and shouted that he had 'openly called for healing, unity and love' after the tragedy
Protesters outside the Phoenix event fled the scene coughing as an officer in a helicopter used a speaker to urge them to leave the area
The Phoenix Fire Department said it treated 56 people for heat exhaustion and dehydration at the convention center, while twelve people were taken to the hospital

Police separate protesters from a line of Trump rally-goers that stretched six city blocks before the campaign rally outside the Phoenix Convention Center
Pro-Trump activists gave as good as they got, cheering for Trump and shouting back at his detractors
Two-dollar cold water bottles outsold three-dollar tacos on street corners. Trump fans took turns holding each other's places in line for bathroom breaks and visits to a cool spray mist descending from a nearby Hyatt hotel's entryway overhang.
The most common sight, other than 'Make America Great Again' hats, was umbrella after umbrella sticking up above the crowd – not to protect against much-needed rain, but used as a parasol to tame the heat.
The heat took its toll, too, on a promised mass-protest that threatened to bring thousands who stayed home.
A combined 7,400 people had indicated that they plan to show their disgust for the president, via RSVPs on two Facebook advertisements for anti-Trump rallies.
Only about 500 showed up, and found pro-Trump activists creating just as much noise. They shouted 'Walk of shame!' in response as the rally-goers made their way to the front of a line that snaked for six city blocks.
An hour before Trump was scheduled to speak, there were an estimated 8,000 inside the convention center.
The anti-Trump protesters were energetic and loud, but far outnumbered and kept at bay by police
Some 7,400 people had indicated that they plan to show their disgust for the president, via RSVPs on two Facebook advertisements for anti-Trump rallies, but only about 500 showed up to protest. Anti-Trump protesters inflate a balloon depicting Trump as a KKK member
One protester outside patrolled back and forth, parading a sign before news cameras that read: 'Looks like we've taken this 'Anyone can grow up to be president' thing just a bit too far.'
Another carried a First Amendment message: 'It's only 'Fake News' if he doesn't like it. Support freedom of the press!'
One small group inflated a 20-foot-tall Trump effigy dressed as a Ku Klux Klan member.
On the other side of a police-patrolled barricade stood a man in a T-shirt proclaiming that 'AntiFa is Satan,' a reference to leftist 'Anti-Fascist' protesters who wear black masks and carry mace and clubs.
He held signs denigrating both the Black Lives Matter movement and the Muslim faith.
'BLM are racist thugs,' one read. The other, which included the Muslim crescent with a red line through it, said that 'Every real Muslim is a jihadist!'
At its peak the left-wing protest crowd reached into the hundreds, a far cry from the thousands expected by organizers who collected RSVPs on Facebook
Behind him stood Trump supporter Ray Martinez in a campaign t-shirt bearing an unusual tagline: 'TRUMP 2016: F**k your feelings.'
He held a sign aloft as a warning to anti-Trump activists: 'Don't start no s**t, won't be no s**t.'
A woman in the protest crowd was heard yelling, 'F**k you racist!' over and over again.
Trump has spoken at the Phoenix Convention Center before, a late-October 2016 rally where his establishment-rattling immigration message was temporarily overshadowed by a fan who appeared to chant 'Jew-S-A' at reporters as he left the venue.
The man, George Lindell, later claimed he was misunderstood.
'When you pronounce 'USA' in Spanish it sounds like 'Jew S. A.',' Lindell said, adding: 'We need to integrate the Spanish lingo, the Spanish language into our society.'

Trump's return to Phoenix on Tuesday came with its own newer set of controversies.
The White House diffused the most explosive one by telling reporters aboard Air Force One that there would be no announcement of a presidential pardon for embattled former sheriff Joe Arpaio, a Trump endorser who faces a possible prison term for defying a judge's order related to illegal immigration in 2011.
'There will be no discussion of that today at any point, and no action will be taken on that front at any point today,' White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.
Trump's Arizona swing started with a reminder of his laser focus on illegal immigration, visiting with Yuma, Arizona-based Marines who work with U.S. Border Patrol agents and inspecting a Predator drone that they use to patrol the border U.S. with Mexico.
Administration officials who briefed reporters on Tuesday pointed to a fortified border fence along the section of border nearest to Yuma, and said it was largely responsible for a dramatic drop in people illegally making it from Mexico to the United States.
The president started his Arizona swing in Yuma, meeting with U.S. border Patrol agents and inspecting the hardware they use to fight illegal immigration and human trafficking
Southern Arizona Militia, a private group (left), stood guard outside the Phoenix Convention Center before the rally for Trump. Separately, a left-wing group called the John Brown Gun Club (right) brought its own armed watchdogs
That number was down 46 per cent in the first seven months of 2017, compared to 2016.
The fence has been up since 2008, however, and numbers have been steadily decreasing since at least 2005.
Republican partisans and Trump himself have suggested that his election victory by itself signaled a coming change in policy that made human traffickers re-think their strategies.
Yet the president missed a chance to pose in front of the imposing border barrier that was just 15 miles away from his stop in Yuma, with one administration official blaming unspecified 'security concerns.'
Trump's visit to Arizona brought the state's sometimes smashmouth GOP politics to a head since there is no love lost between Trump and Arizona's two U.S. senators, both Republicans.
Sen. Jeff Flake faces a stiff primary challenge next year from former state lawmaker Kelli Ward, whom Trump has cheered on Twitter as he called Flake 'WEAK on borders' and 'toxic' in the Senate.
Trump has battled with arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake, who was among the 'Gang of Eight' who proposed in 2013 giving legal status to millions of illegal immigrants
Trump called Flake 'toxic' and said he's 'WEAK' on borders and crime
Coming into Tuesday's rally, the president had all but endorsed Flake's primary challenger Kelli Ward, and an intra-party war has broken out over what promises to be a bruising primary race
Flake's recent anti-Trump manifesto 'Conscience of a Conservative' rankled the president. In the first half-dozen pages he calls Trump's famed Twitter feed 'all noise and no signal,'
'Volatile unpredictability is not a virtue,' Flake adds. 'We have quite enough volatile actors to deal with internationally as it is without becoming one of them.'
Most telling, Flake skewers his fellow lawmakers who went along with Trump's rise to power as the lesser of two evils – the greater being Hillary Clinton.
'We pretended that the emperor wasn't naked,' he writes.
'Even worse: We checked our critical faculties at the door and pretended that the emperor was making sense.'
Despite his stinging critiques, Flake has sided in Congress with many of Trump's proposals, including two votes to repeal the Obamacare law.
Still, Trump seems prepared to throw one brushback pitch after another at Flake's head, sending a message to other recalcitrant Republicans to get in line and follow his lead. The Republican establishment is firing back.
Trump greeted U.S. Marines on Tuesday in Yuma, Arizona before departing for Phoenix
Then-candidate Trump was joined by Joe Arpaio, then the sheriff of metro Phoenix, at an Iowa campaign event in January 2016. Despite Trump coming back to Arizona at a crucial moment in his presidency, Arpaio will not be the beneficiary of his first presidential pardon on Tuesday
On Tuesday the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC run by a former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, released a vicious digital ad targeting Ward as a lunatic with 'crazy ideas' who engages in 'embarrassing behavior.'
In a sign of battle lines being drawn, Trump donor Robert Mercer – the billionaire whose money funds the Breitbart News website – donated $300,000 to a pro-Ward super PAC.
Arizona's Republican governor Doug Ducey found a way to avoid alienating either side of the spat on Tuesday, saying he would greeting Trump at the Phoenix airport but skipping the evening rally.
At least three Arizona Republican members of the House of Representatives were on hand: Andy Biggs, Trent Franks and Paul Gosar.
Phoenix's Democratic mayor called on Trump last week to cancel or postpone Tuesday's rally.
Despite garnering precious op-ed space in The Washington Post, he found himself screaming into a stiff wind

The university of Liberia Faculty Association (ULFA) celebrated the 2021 "ULFA DAY" as part of the 102nd graduation exercises of the University of Liberia (UL). The celebration was held on Saturday, March 26, 2022 at the Fendall Campus of the UL in Louisiana, Montserrado County.
ULFA day is an annual event held by ULFA as part of convocation activities. This event brings together faculties from every department at the UL. This year's event was held under the theme "Harnessing the gains of Academia through Community Engagement".
Addressing the membership, the Keynote speaker, Mr. Charles B. Coffey, Jr., President of the Press Union of Liberia (PUL), highlighted the need for a motivated faculty through better salaries and incentives for a transformed society.
He furthered that a motivated faculty paves the way for both academia and society to harness their gains at ensuring that society is transformed for the better. More so, he re-emphasized the need for faculties at the state run University to be provided motivation for research through provision of research grant facilities. Mr. Coffey intoned that a demotivated faculty would result to lower quality in higher education thus leading to less prepared graduates.
Also during the program, ULFA recognized some media persons and institutions that collaborated with the Faculty Association during the year. those individuals recognized were Mr. Julius D. Jeh of the OK FM, Mr. Blamo N. Toe of the BANA FM, Mr. J. Korvah Beyan of LUX FM, and MR. james S. Goodday Flomo of the SPOON Network. Institutions recognized were the BANA FM and the OK FM.

No Comments on The University of Liberia faculty Association (ULFA): ULFA holds General Assembly
Monrovia – June 18, 2021.
The University of Liberia Faculty Association (ULFA), Inc. held her General Assembly (GA) in line with her constitutional mandate. This GA was held on the Capitol Hill campus of the University of Liberia (UL). The ULFA is the Umbrella organization of all faculties at the UL.
According to Article VIII, Section 1; "all ULFA Assemblies shall be called and chaired by the President of ULFA. A ULFA Assembly shall be given at least fourteen (14) days' notice. During the meeting, only full-time faculty shall vote on any issue and at two-third majority through voting shall pass a point. Said ULFA Assemblies shall be called every semester, one at the end of the First Semester and the other at the end of Second Semester."
During the GA, which is the highest decision making body of the ULFA, The President, Dr. Edna G. Johnny admonished faculty members to remain hopeful in her leadership. According to Dr. Johnny, "every commitment that we made during our campaign processes will be fulfilled if we all work together."
" We have received the financial report detailing financial activities from the past administration and are reviewing it. As promised during our campaign processes, we have already begun working to get ULFA up to date. We recently concluded a workshop with the National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP), on our obligations and the associated benefit packages. We are currently engaged with the administration of the UL so that everyone can know their status;" Dr. Johnny reported.
The President further reported that ULFA is now visible on various platforms- Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and would soon finalize its website in a week or two.
Reaffirming their support in the Dr. Johnny led leadership, faculty members expressed faith in the ability of the ULFA Leadership to deliver based on the rapid transformation that are happening within a short space of time. Members also brought forth issues that they described as having impact on their welfare.
Among those issues discussed, Instructor Kanneh lamented the lack of vehicle to convey faculty and staff to and from the Straz Sinje Technical College in Grand Cape Mount County. For her part, Instructor Comfort Boog-Paye of the Business College lamented the disparity in income among faculty members on one hand, and faculty and administrators on the other hand.
Amid these and other critical issues raised during the discussions, the faculty in the GA resolved on several key issues which the ULFA leadership is expected to communicate with the UL Administration.
The Leadership of Dr. Johnny was overwhelmingly elected in March, 2021.

Anthony's Rating
Knock Knock 2015
½ Watched by Anthony 16 Jan 2022
Fuck Eli Roth and this movie. All of his movies.
Easily the worst movie I've ever seen. Only rating a half star because 0 isn't an option.
Nothing redeemable about this movie, except the dog doesn't get hurt. Spoilers, I guess for this stupid movie.
Gonna go watch Euphoria on HBO to make me feel better now.
Ricochet 1991
★★★ Watched by Anthony 16 Jan 2022 1
This might be one of the most insane movies I've ever seen in my entire life.
The script is wild, the acting is over the top, the lines are fucking silly, & the things the characters do make no fucking sense.
Great movie to watch with friends and get a laugh, but if I told you any part of what happens in this movie, you would swear I was making it up.
It's a miracle Denzel had a career after this…
The Monster 1994
★★★½ Rewatched by Anthony 12 Jan 2022
This movie is over the top, ridiculous, slapstick. It's kinda dumb, but I really like it. It's the first Roberto Benigni movie I saw, when I was a teenager.
I still think some of the comedy, from people thinking this Mr. Bean like idiot is a murderer, is like a live action cartoon, but some of it works for me. Great introduction to Benigni and his wife, who steals ever scene.
★½ Rewatched by Anthony 11 Jan 2022
I saw this movie on TV, when I was a kid. I remember thinking "Supergirl is pretty and it looks cool when she flies!"
After all these years, watching it as an adult, my review is the same.
What a fever dream of a movie. Even in the 80s, this was wild.
Red Tails 2012
★★½ Watched by Anthony 09 Jan 2022
This movie felt really cheap & cheesy. Not sure why, but it had the vibe of a made for TV movie, not a major studio one. Better off watching a documentary on the actual Tuskegee Airmen.
Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal 2003
★★★ Watched by Anthony 08 Jan 2022
This was a wild documentary about how one guy found a pattern on the 80s game show, "Press Your Luck". I loved that they showed how he did it, how tough it was to do and then showed all of the footage of it happening. Some of the unaired and even broadcast stuff was amazing, because this guy didn't care and went all in.
Worth a watch if you want to see someone pull off something wild in front of a TV audience.
In the Heat of the Night 1967
★★★★★ Rewatched by Anthony 08 Jan 2022
A movie that is still relevant today, a great detective story, & of course, depiction of race relations in the southern United States.
Worth a rewatch if it's been a while or a first time viewing if you've never seen one of the many reasons Mr. Poitier left such an impact.
RIP to Sidney Poitier
Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard 2021
Fun, really ridiculous popcorn movie. Everyone here is over the top and I love it.
Creed 2015
One of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. What a great way to add on to the Rocky legacy, while carving it's own place as an amazing story.
I'll never get tired of this movie.
Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett 2021
★★★★ Watched by Anthony 05 Jan 2022
This is the first time I learned about the actual design of the character, who played him in the original movies and how the character became what it is now. Very fun, short doc, with some nice behind the scenes footage from Star Wars films.
The Royal Tenenbaums 2001
Wes Anderson movies have their own vibe and something about this one just connected with me. I feel like I had to see it at the right time.
Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts 2022
★★★★½ Watched by Anthony 01 Jan 2022
This was a great reunion show and also an interesting behind the scenes on the making of all 8 movies. It reminded me of why I loved them in the first place.
For anyone curious about whether JK Rowling is in this, they only show brief interview clips with her 3 times, from a documentary in 2019. She's on screen for less than 30 seconds total.
It's fun to hear the cast talk about everything from being picked to play their parts, working with various other actors & even how each director approached their movies.
Must watch for any HP fan.

Member of the Florida House of Representatives from the 110th district
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is a former member of Congress.
She was a Republican Party member of the US House of Representatives from 1989 to 2019. She was chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, effective 2011, making her strongly-held views on Israel-Palestine and Cuba of particular interest.
She didn't seek re-election in 2018. Her district was flipped Democrat in the general election.

Position on Israeli-Palestine
Ros-Lehtinen recieves considerable campaign donations from Irving Moskowitz, believed to be profiting from Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.[1] The lobby group J Street has called on Ros-Lehtinen to return campaign contributions from Moskowitz, saying he "actively works to derail the chances for a two-state solution".[2]
Ros-Lehtinen is a strong supporter of Israel and opposes US support to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and the Palestinian Authority (PA).[3]
After comments by State Department over Israeli settlements, she demanded that the Obama administration halt its "condemnations" of "an indispensable ally and friend of the United States."
In September 2011 she she introduced a bill to cut off US funding to any UN organization that recognises Palestinian statehood.[4] This was most unpopular with the US State Department who "slammed" the bill.
She played the leading role (with Tom Lantos) in enacting the embargo on the Palestinian Authority in 2005. As revenge for the Mecca agreement she influenced the congress to withhold $86 million in "security assistance" meant for Mahmoud Abbas (which was promised in return for collaboration against Hamas with US-Israel). To preempt the Baker-Hamilton Commission's recommendations for opening talks with the Hamas-led Palestinian government, Ros-Lehtinen, along with Tom Lantos, authored and got congressional approval for the Palestinian Anti-Terror Act of 2006, on behalf of AIPAC, which put a ban on any such talks. With Tom Lantos, she also spearheaded a resolution "that calls on the president to instruct government officials to match any reference to Palestinian refugees in international fora with a reference to Jewish and Christian refugees from Arab lands." [5]
According to her House biography, she is a proponent of "increased support for Israel," and "continues to be a fighter for our U.S. ally, Israel, participating in the Jewish Federation's fund-raising phone-a-thons in Miami, as well as numerous visits to Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv, and the Golan Heights".
Position on Cuba
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen plays a prominent role in the Cuban-American lobby, which aims to put pressure on the Cuban government and encourage political change on the island.
Ros-Lehtinen stirred controversy by calling for the assassination of Cuban Leader Fidel Castro. She appears in the British documentary 638 Ways to Kill Castro, saying: "I welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate Fidel Castro and any leader who is oppressing the people." After a 28-second clip began circulating on the Internet, she claimed the filmmakers spliced clips together to get the sound bite. Twenty-four hours after the controversy erupted, director Dollan Cannell sent unedited tapes of his interview with Ros-Lehtinen to reporters.[6] The uncut version contradicted Ros-Lehtinen's response and showed that she had twice welcomed an attempt on Castro's life. Though she attempted to distance herself from her denial, filmmaker Cannell requested an apology, which has not been forthcoming.[7]
Ros-Lehtinen's rise to congress was coordinated by Jeb Bush, who became her campaign manager and was endorsed by Jorge Mas Canosa, former head of the Cuban-American National Foundation. She has lobbied for the release and pardon of the terrorist Orlando Bosch, involved in the 1976 bombing of Cubana Flight 455 which killed 73 people. She helped organise an "Orlando Bosch day" to gain support for his release. [8] She has defended former fugitive Velentin Hernández, convicted of murdering Luciano Nieves, a fellow Cuban exile who supported negotiations with the Cuban government. She attempted to block Jimmy Carter's visit to Cuba.
Early life, education and career
Ros-Lehtinen was born in Havana, Cuba in 1952.
She received her Bachelor of Arts in education and her Master of Arts in educational leadership from Florida International University. She attended the University of Miami where she earned a Ph.D in higher education.[9] She was a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 1982 to 1986, and was then a one-term member of the Florida Senate before entering the House.
Prior to entering political life, Ros-Lehtinen was an educator and the owner/operator of a private school in Miami-Dade County.[10]
Other Political positions
Ros-Lehtinen is considered conservative on foreign, economic, and other social policy. Ros-Lehtinen is a supporter of President George W. Bush's surge policy in Iraq, a supporter of Israel and supports continued sanctions against Cuba. She also supported the de facto government in Honduras, headed by Roberto Micheletti, that emerged after the military coup against President Manuel Zelaya. She has said of the decision to invade Iraq: "Whether or not there is a direct link to the World Trade Center does not mean that Iraq is not meritorious of shedding blood. The common link is that they hate America." [11]
Among Ros-Lehtinen's other conservative views include votes against the estate tax, voted in favor of Bush's tax cuts, for fuel efficiency standards on autos, drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, support of the Central American Free Trade Agreement, votes in favor of making the Patriot Act permanent, support of the Military Commissions Act, votes against funding for stem cell research, and votes against SCHIP. She is a signer of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge.[12]
Ros-Lehtinen generally portrays a pro-military stance. However, during the 2011 Libyan uprising, she shifted her position in support of the Libyan opposition; on February 26, 2011, she released a press release which stated, "The United States Must Support These Brave Men and Women Who are Seeking to Throw Off the Shackles of Tyranny in Libya." On March 20, 2011, she said the following in a new press release: "I am concerned that the President has yet to clearly define for the American people what vital United States security interests he believes are currently at stake in Libya.".[13]
The congresswoman has been a forerunner in cutting U.S. aid to foreign lands, including the State Department, The Peace Corps, the Asia Foundation, the U.S. Institute of Peace and the East-West Center. She advocates cutting funding to Lebanese Armed Forces and the West Bank and Gaza.[14]
Ros-Lehtinen sides with the Democrats on many issues of gay rights, and has opposed Florida's constitutional ban against same-sex marriage.
Passport processing delays
Ros-Lehtinen recently (when?) pressured the State Department to accelerate its processing of passports, something that had hindered American citizens' travel during the crucial summer travel season. Calling the delay "outrageous, incomprehensible, unconscionable" at a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where she is chairwoman, Ros-Lehtinen brought the pressure of committee Republicans to bear on the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs and spur them to action.[15]
On 23 November 2010, Ros-Lehtinen called on the Obama administration to "announce publicly, right now, that we will stay away from Durban III, deny it US taxpayer dollars, and oppose all measures that seek to facilitate it. And we should encourage other responsible nations to do the same."[16]
Ros-Lehtinen joined a Congressional delegation to the UN in order to encourage international support for an end to the genocide in Darfur. When Ros-Lehtinen returned from a trip to Darfur in April 2007 where she visited Sudanese refugee camps, she strongly encouraged the United States and the international community to find a solution to this humanitarian crisis.[17][18]
2008 "Bailout"
Ros-Lehtinen voted against the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 in its initial September 29, 2008 vote, which failed,[19] but voted in favor of the revised bill in its October 3, 2008 vote, which passed.[20]
Ros-Lehtinen played a key role in preventing the International Protecting Girls by Preventing Child Marriage Act of 2010 from being passed into law. Even though the bill had unanimously passed the Senate with bipartisan support, she persuaded enough Republicans in the House to vote against the bill so that it did not receive the required two-thirds majority.[21]
Ros-Lehtinen has in the past been an ardent supporter of the Church of Scientology. She was "honored at a 2004 Celebrity Centre gala" with famous Scientologists such as John Travolta and Kelly Preston.[22]

Captain Hsu '06 Wins 50M and 300M As Boys Track Defeats Rival Exeter
Ben Bramhall
On Wednesday, Captain Greg Hsu '06 performed phenomenally to lead Boys Track to a 59-45 upset of Exeter. Captain Hsu began with a win in the 50 in a time of 5.8 seconds and then added a surprise win in the 300, running 35.82. Andover did not excel against Exeter in the field events. However, it was able to accumulate enough points in certain areas to win. Mario Noyola '06, as always, won in the pole vault, jumping 12'6" and beating his nearest opponent by a foot and a half. Third place was two and a half feet back. Joe O'Hern '07 managed to obtain second place points in the shot put, throwing 44'4", just 8.5" away from the winner. Merzudin Ibric '06 jumped 5'8" in the high jump and 20'2" in the long jump, good enough for third and second, respectively. When it came to the longer events, Andover knew that Exeter's distance runners would be formidable competition. The team was depending on the sprinters to pick up the slack but as Captain Hsu put it, "distance fought very well," and came away with some unexpected points. The mile saw some drama as Exeter's number one, Bruce Hallet, was disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct, taunting Andover runners from the front, giving Andover first and second with Kentaro Watari '07 (4:43.3) and Eli Howe '09 (4:48.3). The two-mile started with Dave Wilson '09 battling with Exeter's Keggi at the front, followed by Watari and another Exeter runner. Keggi pushed the pace and Wilson stuck with him for the majority of the race. Eventually, Keggi broke away to win, but Wilson and Watari were able to secure second and third. Hallet was back for the 1,000 and with him was Godfrey, another exceptional Exeter middle-distance runner. They took first and second but back from injury was Alex Hugon '07 who fought for third place points. Hugon, who had thought he had a stress fracture in his lower leg, had not run in over a week. The injury did not turn out to be a stress fracture and is healing well, with the help of some shoe inserts. Although Exeter won most of the long distance point, Andover dominated Exeter in the sprints. Andover took first and third in the hurdles, led by Jason Soule '06 in 6.42. Andover then repeated that in the 600 with Ibric (first, 1:18.98) and Cam Smith '07 (third, 1:22.27). In the 50, Andover again took first and third but this time also second, sweeping completely with Captain Hsu (5.8), Luinis Tejada '08 (5.8), and Soule (5.9). Captain Hsu then went on to win the 300 in dramatic fashion. He went out fast, leading the Exeter runner through the entire race. He did not relent, and took first. Soule, coming back from third, passed the opponent on the final turn and flew in for second. Hsu ran a personal best time of 35.82, over a half-second better than his previous best. Though Andover already had the win locked, it added a relay victory for emphasis. Down by 10-15 yards at the start of the last leg, Ibric stormed back to win by 1.2 seconds before collapsing onto the track. Said Mike Discenza '09, "There was an explosion as the gun went off for the last lap. After he won there was a mass migration of people to Zoom. It was an Andover-Exeter moment." On Sunday Andover will travel to Harvard for the USATF New England Championships.


Snowing in Tokyo, on Vernal Equinox Day.
To become new, shake off your old clothes.
If and when Winter comes back to scare Spring, would Spring say, "Sorry, I will never think to become spring ever."?
I've got so many application emails for my asking to act a Shakespeare in June. The team has been made, after considerations.
The team members are chose by their wills rather than by their skills.
I thank all of you who asked me about the project.
Sometimes surrounding people and your common sense pull you back when you want to go forward. The above team members have enough courage to get over those obstacles. I admire them for that.
When you want to be new, there always comes strong power to pull you back.
Sometimes those pulling-back energy are from your close friends and family members.
There is your break-point, where the counter-energy is strong.
What would you do, then?
To obey the counter-energy does not necessarily mean that you are the loser.
Taking the counter-opinion then, but at smoother place and time, you can try again.
You may have heard "Failure become trials when succeeded" or "failure is when you stop trying".
That's really true. When I was trying to study abroad, friends said "you can't do that. It's only a dream!", "To become what? Impossible.", and after I became a theatre director, actors and staffs say "It's difficult (meaning they will not try)".
I am quite a wimp, and discouraged easily at that moment.
I don't like argument and just said "o, alright" and take aback.
But in the bottom of my heart, my wish to do that and my needs become stronger and forged, researching why they think it's impossible, thinking how then to make it happen, and then voila! I've done it.
When there is a person who pulls you back without faulty and ill intentions, you may thank him/her and don't have to have a grudge.
For, that person is thinking about you, telling you for you, even when you absolutely don't need it.
That, unfortunately is one of our human nature.
If you don't admit this, you may be in danger to blame and curse all the people who stop and pull you back, out of love.
Any counter-idea has a reason.
But after that, it's absolutely OK to leave from them.
Free from then, free from grudge, free from blaming, forget about them, literally clear your mind, and do what you believe you've got to.
At the same time, don't mind when some people leave you.
Important thing is "without ill intention" and "forget about them".
If you keep thinking about them and blaming them that you couldn't do this and that because of them, that means you put yourself under the curse and spell of "that bad guy/woman".
Is it fun life to live?
Don't be afraid of Winter trying lastly to pull you back, accept the natural law, and face up for Spring.

Q: Missing service file Server - Ubuntu Bionic 18.04, Application - HAproxy.
In one of our app servers, the networking service (the unit file was made by our provisioning team) suddenly disappeared. We received notifications that sshd service was failing, when we consoled to the server and checked what is happening, we found network service disappeared with no trace.
I checked journal log, dmesg, syslog, sar report and whatever that I am aware of, I see no trace. We can rebuild the server, that is not an issue, but not being able to figure out what happened during that time is bothering me.
In the log, I only see connectivity errors like DNS failures, not getting connected to the syslog servers and etc. but not a single clue of what the system this way. I don't even see any coredumps.
Any directions would be really helpful !
Thanks

Self-Reliant Groups
From an article by Nesta and WEvolution
Self-reliant groups (SRGs) are small groups of people (4 to 10) who come from a shared economic and/or social background to support each other and develop friendships. They meet regularly and agree to start saving, rotating leadership and responsibility, learning together and sharing skills. Many of them start a small business which, in time, will help them earn an income to support themselves and their families.
The regular meeting of the group develops a sense of purpose and ownership among members from the onset. Members can rely on each other and are encouraged to offer peer support and development opportunities, further enhancing a shared responsibility and accountability within the group. Through the SRG way of working, group members believe that helping themselves, each other and together creating opportunities for change and enterprise in their local communities is the best way forward.
The SRG model is well tested - having foundations in the Self Help Group (SHG) movement in India which was founded in the 1970's, and is now a national movement where it is transforming rural and urban communities with thousands of active groups.
The SRG movement in the UK was sparked by a Church of Scotland initiative called Passage from India (now WEvolution) in 2011 when 13 women from across the UK visited established SHGs in India. The SHG model was then adapted to the UK, becoming SRGs. Over the last 5 years there has been some exciting growth of the SRG model throughout Scotland, and with partners in England, Wales and elsewhere. There are now 90 emerging and operational SRGs UK wide. The success of this growing movement has led to an interest in the way SRGs can be supported to address a range of social and economic issues.
Among the established SRGs there are some inspiring examples of people improving the economic circumstances of themselves and their communities such as: Trishy Gannon who has started No. 26 – a high end crafts and arts store on a high street in Gourock, Scotland and Karen Stevens who has starter her own Miss Fix It handywoman business. One of the SRGs in Wales recently worked in partnership with Cardiff Metropolitan University to produce 40 ground breaking products designed for people living with dementia. The products were sent for extended trials prior to full manufacturing and the SRG members worked with the design team from the university and used their recently learnt sewing skills. This could be the start of small scale, locally based manufacturing through the Welsh groups - a completely innovative approach with SRGs at the forefront.
On the potential benefits of the SRGs, Niall Cooper, Director at Church Action on Poverty has said:
"I would emphasise at least as strongly the fact that SRGs improve people's social circumstances as well as economic ones. In sustainable livelihood terms, SRGs boost peoples own personal assets of self-confidence, capacity and agency, and significantly increase social assets/capital through the common bond of the SRG and the sense of being part of a wider movement. In anti-poverty terms, this can be hugely empowering and transformative."
An SRG can be a good way to support people you are in contact with to come together to create opportunities for themselves. If you want to start one, watch this 2 minute video:

I've been experiencing continuous crashes usually about half way through the second match of a session, so about 30-45 minutes in. The game simply freezes, returns me to Windows and then a crash reporter for Unreal Engine appears. This is becoming even more frustrating as I'm losing out on roughly half the in-game experience I should be earning due to the game marking me as having quit the match/timed out. Anyone else had this problem?
Crashed in approx 60% of games in 13 hours playtime. After changing to windowed borderless via in-game menu I've had zero crashes. Played 4 hours after changing.
Game and Steam installed on SSD, all settings on minimum.

In 1965, the Voting Rights Act was signed and sighs of relief and shouts of jubilation rang our across the United States of America, as if the years of de facto segregation and blatant discrimination at the polls would come to an end. Some who now were legally afforded the right to vote opted to do other things on election day, while others were refused the right now there's to exercise.
In 2013, The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) lifted the much needed protections that held Southern States and its bigoted balloting processes in line for almost 50 years. The SCOTUS essentially gave states the option to press "rewind" and take states and its black citizens back to era of blatant Jim Crow days.
The latest ploy has unfolded in my home state of Alabama – the hotbed of the Civil Rights struggle. Bull Connor died in 1973, but his spirit lives on in the actions being taken in Alabama right now to squelch the Black voters of Alabama.
I call on each of you to get off your knees and pick up the phone today and call Alabama governor Robert Bentley's office right now? Tell him: "Stop disenfranchising Black and rural voters. Reopen the driver's license offices immediately with a permanent solution."
Then, please report your call by clicking here.
Alabama has a history of suppressing Black votes—which makes this controversial decision to close Drivers License offices (where people also register to vote and change voter registration info) sinful. This action was passed during a special session of the state legislature. We must call on Governor Bentley to open those offices so all voters can openly and actively participate in the political system that governs our laws and impacts our daily lives.
Say "Amen," and call Governor Robert Bentley's office right now. Let him know the world is watching him, just as the world watched another Governor of Alabama stand in doorways and on the Capital steps making speeches and claims that were insidious and insulting to so many. Alabama has pressed "rewind" and history is set to repeat, if you do nothing beyond believe this is a tragedy.

Q: How to get the total count of every product attribute/filter like newegg If you go to newegg.com (just one example) you'll notice while browsing products you can see the number of items next to each product attribute in the left hand sidebar.
With so many attributes on some items and so many different configurations of product filters how do they calculate all of those totals so fast?

A: For newegg.com, they are using a faceted navigation technology provided by endeca
In nutshell, endeca will actually use the data provided in xml/csv or directly retrieve data from any database (not limited to just mysql) and calculate similarity and group the result into their own format
Endeca is not free, the open-source alternative such as sphinx or lucene solr

A: Newegg uses Endeca, and they were probably one of Endeca's earlier customers.  In retrospect, Endeca might have been a big contributor to their success.  Faceted navigation works very well on complex electronics like computer parts.
There are a few things to consider in faceted navigation:
1) Do you want just faceted navigation on category-driven queries, or do you also want it to work on search?  In fact, categories are a hierarchical facet of sorts.
2) Does the de-normalized inverted index model of Solr cause you problems?
If the answer to 1) is true -- it probably is -- you'll need some inverted indices.  Inverted indices are pretty much the only way to do keyword search.  They will also do faceting with some caveats.
Essentially you can consider each facet as an inverted index (in fact keyword search might be considered a special facet with ranking functions).  Then to do counts you'd have to intersect/and the current query and filters with all other facet values.  However, this model can lead to problems if you need to represent sparse product sets (see 2).
If the answer to 2) is true, it might help more to think about facets more in terms of OLAP.  I don't know if inverted indices can handle complex relationships without some abstractions.
It's fair to consider and implement faceted search/nav as a blend of fulltext (typically implemented as an inverted index) and/or OLAP.
I'm pretty sure you can pull off faceting with a column store, but you'd still need to have an inverted index at your disposal to merge with if you want keyword search.
@Dan Grossman:
It might seem so, BUT --
Did you think for a moment how many combinations there are of facets?  You can't cache so many pages like that.  There are probably more combinations on Newegg.com than stars in your sky.
Add in multiple selection and it's even worse.  Game over.
You can only cache some cases like unfiltered and commonly filtered.  If you try to spider Newegg.com without limiting levels of recursion, you'll kill the spider.  Faceted sites cause problems for search engines in general for this very reason.  See http://www.searchmarketingstandard.com/facets-navigational-seo-powerhouse-part

A: You do not know that they calculate them fast. You only know that they render them fast. They could spend hours calculating those totals and rendering their pages, cache the results and serve those static files until some time when they want to refresh the data.

Home is a 2008 Swiss drama film directed by Ursula Meier, starring Isabelle Huppert and Olivier Gourmet. The film was the official Swiss submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 82nd Academy Awards, but was not nominated.

Plot
Marthe (Isabelle Huppert) and Michel (Olivier Gourmet) live with their three children in a house next to an uncompleted highway. They use the deserted road as a recreation area. For example, they put an inflatable swimming pool on it and the son and his friends use the highway to ride their bicycles. As it has been ten years since the highway was abandoned, they believe that it will not be completed. One day, without warning, construction workers begin to upgrade the road and the highway opens to traffic. Despite noise from passing traffic, the family remains in the house. Previously, the father would simply walk across the highway in order to access his car to get to work. This becomes harder as the highway becomes busier. He and his children eventually have to use a tunnel in order to access the outside world.

Their younger daughter, Marion (Madeleine Budd), becomes obsessed about the quality and cleanliness of her surroundings. She monitors the grass as it exhibits the effects of carbon monoxide emissions and is convinced that the family may fall ill or even die prematurely, as a consequence of living in such close proximity to the highway. The elder daughter, Judith (Adélaïde Leroux), continues to sunbathe on the front lawn, despite attracting unwanted attention from passing motorists.

One day, Judith decides to leave home without telling her family. Returning after a period of time, being driven by a man, she finds the house bricked-up and, after an unsuccessful attempt to find an entrance, leaves again. In her absence, Michel had attempted to leave with the remaining children, but Marthe refused to depart. The family then decided to sound-proof the house, which included blocking up all the windows and sealing all the ventilation points. Confined, the pressure begins to take its toll and, in what appears to be a death dream, Marthe breaks open a wall and the family exits the house into the sunlit outdoors.

Cast
 Isabelle Huppert as Marthe
 Olivier Gourmet as Michel
 Adélaïde Leroux as Judith
 Madeleine Budd as Marion
 Kacey Mottet Klein as Julien

Production
Director Ursula Meier searched for a suitable location across Europe, before finding a spot in Bulgaria. The road itself was already under construction and they then built the house next to the then-unused road. Meier wrote the script specifically for Isabelle Huppert before she was cast. Huppert was given the script while she was in Belgium, working on Joachim Lafosse's film Private Property.

Reception
Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, reported an average score of 67, based on 12 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

by: Erik Peper, Professor of Holistic Health at San Francisco State University, USA.
Medical error is the third leading cause of death in the United States!
Read what had happened to Professor Peper.
Six weeks after the surgery, I was still lugging a Foley catheter with a leg collection bag that drained my bladder. I had swelling due to blood clots in the abdominal area around my belly button, severe abdominal cramping, and at times, overwhelming spasms. Instead of swimming, hiking, walking, working, and making love with my wife, I was totally incapacitated, unable to work, travel, or exercise. I had to lie down every few hours to reduce the pain and the spasms.
All those who cared for me during this journey were compassionate individuals, committed to doing their best, including the emergency staff, the nurses, my two primary physicians, my surgeon, and my urologist.
However, given the personal, professional, and economic cost to me and my family, I feel it is important to assess where things went wrong.
Underestimating the risk. Although the surgeon suggested that the operation would be very low risk with no complications, statistically, the published research data does not support his optimistic statement. Complications for laparoscopic surgery range from 15% to as high as 38% or higher, depending on the age of the patient and how well they do with general anesthesia (Vigneswaran et al, 2015; Neumayer et al, 2004; Perugini & Callery, 2001).
Inappropriate post-operative procedures. In my case I was released directly after waking up from general anesthesia without checking to determine whether I could urinate or not. The medical staff and facility should never have released me, since older males have a 30% or higher probability that urinary retention will occur after general anesthesia. However, it was a Friday afternoon and the staff probably wanted to go home since the facility closes at 5 pm. This landed me in the Emergency Room.
Drawbacks of the ER as the primary resource for post-surgical care. Care is not scheduled for the patient's needs, but rather based on a triage system. In my case I had to wait sometimes two hours or more until a catheter could be inserted, which expanded and irritated the bladder further.
In the United States medical error results in at least 98,000 unnecessary deaths each year and 1,000,000 excess injuries (Weingart et al, 2000; Khon et al, 2000).
The Institute of Medicine reported in 2012 that one-third of hospitalized patients are harmed during their stay (Ferguson, 2012; Institute of Medicine, 2012).
I too have backache since I was in my forties (now I am 74) and I learned how to live with it. Admittedly, in Philippe's case, his backache caused him a lot of problem.
I did not say much upon hearing this "news" except to enquire when, so that I could visit him in the hospital.
A week later Phillipe was discharged. We had lunch together one afternoon. Everything seemed to be okay except that he walked with a walking stick.
Phillipe then started to have pain. One leg was painful, then went off. Then the pain moved to the other leg. In spite of that he was able to drive home to KL from Penang.
Then I received a message that Phillipe had to return to Penang to see his surgeon because of the severe pain. On arrival at the private hospital, he was told the surgeon was on leave. Phillipe was then sent to the government hospital. The Penang GH doctor was not able to handle his case and immediately sent him off to a KL hospital in an ambulance.
Two days later, my wife and I flew to KL and saw Philippe in the coffin. His face was bloated. I did not know why he died. But one fact is clear, as they always say — the surgery was a success but the patient died.
Take note of what Professor Erik Peper said, Hope for the best and plan for the worst!
A patient (let's call him Mr. Y) came to see us again after a month. He said he benefited from our therapy. When he stood up to leave he whispered, can I not go into the video? Yes, the story of his cancer journey was featured in our website. I am glad that he brought up his "concern". This gives me the opportunity to explain to everyone why we post your stories in our website.
Since I promised not to use his video, for this story I took the liberty to crop this video and also change the original image into "Chinese painting." So, it is only about me talking!
Let me share with you what I said that morning.
Since we started CA Care twenty over years ago, we held to the concept that patients who come to see us are encouraged to share their experiences with each other. Therefore patients consult with us in the open. Everyone can hear what is going on at our centre. There is no one-on-one conversation in an enclosed room. In fact, in our centre, we knocked off the wall of a room to make it an open space.
All our consultation sessions are video-taped and this is stated in the "Release of Liability" form which patients sign before they consult with us. However, we also assure you that if your video is used in our website, your identity will be protected. We close your face and do not use your real name.
So far we have produced almost 1,000 videos which you can find in the You-tube. I am most grateful that almost ALL patients would not object to us sharing their stories. But over the years we did encounter one or two patients who were not happy to share their stories. That's okay, we took those videos down.
Let me tell all patients — you all are my teachers. I learn from your experiences. Your stories are something that are not written in the medical books. Without your stories, I will not be able to know what is really happening on the ground. What you said and went through had to be recorded. And if you don't mind your experiences are written up and shared with others.
I am extremely sensitive to the fact that all stories must be genuine not fakes or manufactured. Therefore everything that we wrote must be backed by your very own words and experiences. So everything that I wrote are true, not made up.
Many years ago, I received some nasty emails from someone (he would not reveal his real identity).He accused me of making up stories and asked how much I paid those people in the videos! He even suggested the those "patients" are just actors, not cancer patients. I suspected this person is a cyber trooper who earn some pocket money to "disturb" us.
Anyway, in one of my replies to him I said something like this: The more emails you write to me accusing me of faking stories, the MORE videos I shall upload onto my websites! Let's see how many fake stories I know how to write." Not long after this, he stopped writing to me!
Albert Einstein wrote, The world is a dangerous place to live. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Yes, the cancer world is a rotten world not because of such cyber troopers but because of good and educated men playing dumb and do nothing. You and me, who know the truth should speak up and share our experiences! Tell the world the truth.
I read a lot of books and gain wisdom from these authors. One of my favourite author is a Jewish rabbi, Harold Kushner. Reflect on what he wrote.
I have lived almost 41 years now and there is one thing I know for sure, … Life Stinks!! You can't avoid bad things. They are a part of life. People will die, people will get sick and suffer! There will be floods, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, job loss, the list goes on. You name it, it's bound to happen.
People of faith try to search for answers to why this stuff happens. Why was God doing this? I was angry! Bad things have been happening to good people throughout history.
I was and am still … looking for answers to why all this was happening around me.
I do have some good news to share. What I have learned and what I want to share with you today is, God Is Love! I believe that God doesn't want bad things to happen to us … God walks with us and loves us through all the difficult times.
We are God's jigsaw puzzles. Each experience we have, both good and bad are pieces of our puzzles. and God patiently and lovingly puts the pieces together.
Everyone carries with them at least one and probably many pieces to someone else's puzzle. No one has within themselves all the pieces to their puzzle.
A certain piece you have appears worthless to you, but to others, that's the missing piece he desperately needs.
Whether you know it or not, your piece can make OTHERs whole.
(Adapted from Rabbi Lawrence Kushner).
Life Stinks. I want to retract that statement; Life is full of so much to be grateful for. Things are going to be rough; we can't avoid that, but YOU ARE LOVED!
Remember to pray, God hears you and loves you and stands by you through it all. We are who we are because of everything that we go through. We are God's jigsaw puzzle! The love of God surrounds us ALWAYS.
One question I often ask all those who come to see us, Who ask you to come here? Most of them said they learned about CA Care from the internet. They listened to the videos in the You-Tube.
When Mr. Y was first diagnosed with cancer he did not know what to do — totally lost! He "swallowed" what were dished out to him. In spite of spending so much money he ended up in a "hole". Then he found us in the internet. He decided to give up further medical treatment and came to us for help. Like many others, after a month, he experienced the benefit of our therapy.
Ask this question in your heart, don't you want to share your blessing with others? Do you want others to fall into the same hole that you fell into?
By sharing your stories other people too may have the opportunity to come and seek our help. Like Rabbi Kushner said, each of us do not have all the pieces of jigsaw puzzle of our lives. Some pieces are missing and are in the hands of others. If your are holding the "missing piece" of my life, don't you want to share it with me?
I am fully aware that at CA Care we have many missing pieces of jigsaw puzzle belonging to those who we do not know. But for those lucky ones, they find their missing pieces after coming to us. We are happy to give this missing piece back to you.
In the same way, each and every cancer patient could be holding someone else missing pieces. Don't you want to share?
Over the years since we started CA Care, I realized that it is hard to do good. It is very much easier to be a dead fish and flow with the stream. To flow against the current is hard work and often very frustrating.
If you come to CA Care you will see the words of Mother Teresa (Saint Teresa of Calcutta) prominently displayed on the wall. Her words is the compass of our mission.
