yield container; // Give the container dimensions.
The map is defined as a view: viewof map is the container DIV element, and map is the Mapbox GL Map instance. This is useful below where we call map.flyTo. Before creating the map, we yield the container: this is necessary to put the container in the DOM and give it dimensions. We also explicitly remove the map on invalidation to dispose its WebGL resources.
The center of the map is computed using the Mapbox Geocoding API. We pick the center of the first result here, and use a fixed zoom level, but it would be nice to determine the zoom level automatically.
Whenever the center changes, we call map.flyTo to zoom! Easy.

Memcached (Faster Cache Access): I installed and disabled this. It accelerated the site quite well, but it had a failure rate of up to 1% (e.g., it would miss the connection and throw an error). I believe this was an incompatibility with EC2 small instances that have explicit performance restrictions, so I may revisit it soon since we have upgraded to a larger instance.
Upgraded Drupal to use lazy sessions. We have a customized/optimized core, so the default patch was only successful about half of the time. The gorad filesystem replace script allowed me to automatically patch about 80% of the other session cases, which left 104 instances that had to be manually reviewed and fixed.
Manually compiled PCRE. The yum-supported version for our kernel was out of date.
Manually compiled Varnish. The yum-supported version was a full 1.5 releases out of date such that none of the documentation was very helpful.
Modified Apache configuration so that the extra proxy layer was compatible.
Cloudfront (CDN): This was easy to implement since the UI compiler publishes to S3. Unfortunately, a few members work at institutions that blacklisted S3 and Cloudfront IP addresses. Thus, we have had to disable it. Given how slow those institutions are to change, we will have to explore other CDNs or continue without them.
mod_deflate (Faster Downloads): By gzipping the various resources, we saw about a 50% decline in downloads for an empty cache on the home page. This was an easy apache configuration that had not been done due to the added processing power. However, with the upgraded instance, the reduced load via caching, and the fact that Varnish can cache the compressed versions, it made sense for us.
Overall, this is a major step forward in terms of performance. The best part is that only the lazy sessions actually impact the PHP code. Otherwise, these are just automated optimizing layers that sit in front of Drupal to make it faster.


This post is different from my usual topics, written in response to several requests I have received. If you have ever had to deal with the devastating loss of a loved one, especially your mother, I hope that by sharing my story I can be of some hope and comfort to you.
May skies, black with threatening clouds, children crying in the halls looking for comfort and reassurance as winds thrash at buildings. Ice shooting down to the ground like thunder bolts. Warning sirens fill the air.
A crab apple tree stands firm in the storm, roots planted in the ground, pink flowers in full bloom struggle to stay on the tree. The tree has three main sections branching of the trunk making a perfect trinity for the spring flowers. Suddenly, there is a powerful gust of wind, and with a deafening snap the crab apple tree loses one of the three branches. The branch falls to the ground, pink flowers still intact, not yet realizing their fate. The remaining two branches seem to bend down towards the third but they cannot reach, they are still connected by the trunk to the roots planted firmly in the earth.
With the fall of the branch the skies clear, the hail stops, the sirens die down, and the wind subsides. Their job is done. The children go back to their classrooms staying close to their teachers.
My mom loved her crab apple trees. Each spring she would enjoy the weeks when they were in full bloom with their pink flowers. They were, and still are, a source of beauty. She died the first week in May 2003, sometime between a Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. My sister and I did not know she had passed away until Friday morning. For three days straight there were tornado warnings and severe weather every afternoon. On the Friday we found out she had passed away the storms were particularly violent and the above scenario in not mere poetry but actual events of the day. The tree limb was ripped from the tree just as my mom was ripped away from us without warning. The day I lost my mother, Mother Nature had the final say.
Birth and death are two universal experiences, and yet, we each experience them alone on a certain level. We may very well be surrounded by others when we enter this world as well as when we leave, but the experience is our own. Similarly, when we lose someone close to us, our loss is unique to our relationship with that person. We may be surrounded by others who are also mourning the loss of an individual, and there is a certain level of comfort to be found this, but each person's sense of loss is unique to their relationship with the deceased person.
All losses are difficult but the loss of a mother can be particularly devastating. Our mothers gave us life. For nine months we were connected to her in a way we are never connected to another human being, developing in her womb. At our birth she is the first person we seek out for food and comfort. Without a mother, or mother figure, we are not able to thrive or even survive. As we grow in body and mind, our mothers gradually let go of their influence and allow us to make our way in the world, quietly watching just in case we get into a situation we cannot get ourselves out of. We may have differences with our mothers, arguing with them and rolling our eyes, we may feel suffocated by them at times, or our mothers may be our best friends. No matter what our relationship with our mother is, in times of trouble we look to her for comfort and advice. When we are successful we often we look back over our shoulders to see if "mom" is watching us hoping that we have made her proud. We may tell ourselves we are all grown up , living on our own and starting our own families , but deep down inside as long as we have our mothers with us we still look to her as the matriarch of the family. The day my mom passed away I felt like an orphan. I was 40 years old but I felt as lost and helpless as if I were 10.
The pain of grief is profound. It is a hell in which the only way out is to walk through it. The way to walk through it is one day, one minute, one second, at a time. Each second that you survive your grief you are a step closer to your healing; and once you are healed, your experience gives you a greater understanding of yourself and the world around you, giving you the potential to be a blessing to others. If you are suffering now, I promise you that one day you will wake up and your stomach will no longer be in knots, your heart will not feel shattered, and your mind will be clear. One day you will even catch yourself laughing or singing and you will feel joy return into your being. There are moments of relapse and you will always remember your loss, but you will feel love and joy again. Eventually, you will be strong enough to choose to leave the mourning behind, celebrate the lives of those you have loved and lost, pass on their wisdom, and share their legacy with future generations.
Beautiful Laura. As someone who lost her mother the same day her first child was born, your "why it's so hard" section resonated greatly with me. Loved this article. Thanks for writing.
Wonderful article Laura, I'm lucky I have mum, but it still applies somehow. I lost my dad less than a year ago, and he was to a certain extent a kind off "mum" to me. My parents divorced when I was 12, and I lived with my dad after that. Guess that makes me a daddy's girl 😉 and the grief is still real.
I am so glad you were able to apply my article to your situation, Anne. I am sorry about the loss of your dad. Your are lucky to have been a daddy's girl 🙂 Is the blogging helping you work out your grief? I bet your dad would be proud of the blog and your Minimalist choices!
This made me smile 🙂 thinking about I was trying to picture what dad would say. Most likely he would have told me it be a waste of time, and why would I want to! He wasn't really a fan of things like Facebook, Twitter, blogs and stuff (you know, anything that would make you sit there with your nose into the computer, phone or iPad) 🙂 would he be proud? He might, secretly, but no way he would have told me 😉 He could be a hard nut to crack at times, and he wasn't the most verbal person when it came to feelings… But that's ok, I love him anyway, and I know he loved me.
It's been just over two years at Christmas since my Mom passed and 14 years since Dad passed on. I was their caretaker, more so for Mom. I graduated from Bethany and returned home to step into that most unusual role of having my parents, especially Mom, rely more and more on me. She colored everything in my life, even my marriage. Both of my folks left this life at Christmas and so that too has changed it's meaning in my life. I appreciate greatly your words, since I never anticipated the tapestry of effects that both of my parents would have on my life these many years. Dear friend, my appreciation of our thoughts funs deeply into the soul of my grief. Keep the legacy going no matter how your Mom shapes you. And many blessings are wished for you as well!
Kathy, thank you for such a touching reply. It sounds like you have much to deal with over the years and have much to share about the aging process and care giving.. I am glad you appreciated my post and I pray for your continued healing 🙂 I am grateful that even though it has been many years since our days at Bethany we are still able to be in contact and support each other as we make our way through this life!

One and One Portraits is a project I worked on for several years which involved the creation a series of large format digital panles taken all over the world in countries including Morocco, Myanmar, Cambodia, India, Nepal, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, Israel, South Africa, Switzerland and Australia.
They are moments, brief glimpses into the solitary journey of the human soul and our relationship with the world surrounding us. Each photo tells one particular story, but as a group they give us a more conceptual idea of the world, of its inhabitants, its realities and of the injustices committed by each and every one of us.
Some are presented with a certain with a certain toungue-in-cheek, while others are far more blunt and precise. They are all multi-panelled 'Horizontal Conversations' as I like to call them... all taken from one shot. They are not broken-up panoramic shots.

THIS IS THE TALE OF A GIRL AND HER DEMON. Its 1924. Beer is banned. The lindy hop is all the rage, and being a Crafter, a sorceror for the city-states, is the cat's meow. Welcome to the world of Dazomonde: leave your normalcy at the door. Skye, a she-demon dame to die for, is stranded in this old-fashioned universe for Omni knows how long. Axel is a shy Crafter looking for a protector. The unlikely heroines find themselves bound to survive at Edgewood, the Academy of Crafters.

You asked and we listened! We teamed up with our ComLink Care Expert for a chat to answer common questions relating to accessing entry level in home care.
My Aged Care (MAC) is the Australian Government centralised information centre which assists older people who are awaiting access to services. There are a range of services, which include in home services, short term assistance, or placement into a residential care facility depending upon your needs.
Personal care includes assistance with dressing, hygiene, showering and general mobility.
Transport provides help with making it to your medical appointments, as well as movement from location to location when required.
Domestic assistance provides help with your household chores. Vacuuming, mopping, and sweeping are just a few examples.
Social support provides assistance to ensure that you stay connected (or reconnect) to your community.
Meal preparation includes assistance preparing and cooking meals in your home.
Respite is also included which is an opportunity for caregivers who need a moment to step away to care for themselves.
Who is eligible for entry level in home care?
Difficulty performing the tasks of daily living without any help or assistance.
Requiring support to live independently within your home.
To qualify for in home services, you must be 65+ in age, be 50+ years of age if you are Aboriginal or a Torres Strait Islander, or 45+ years of age if you have income difficulties and are at risk of homelessness if you are Aboriginal or a Torres Strait Islander.
What are the costs of My Aged Care?
The government subsidises many of the in home services offered by MAC to keep them as affordable as possible.
Different types of care, and different service providers, have varied costs, depending on your individual circumstances. If eligible, you are expected to contribute to your care costs when possible.
Financial hardship assistance is also available for those who have difficulty paying their fees and payments for reasons that are beyond their control.
What is the assessment process for My Aged Care?

Miami, FLA – The tortured screams of corner back Byron Maxwell, 28, rang through the Miami Dolphins training center this morning during his required physical to finalize a trade between the Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles.
Miami Head Athletic trainer Ryan Grove notified the team's new GM that Maxwell may not be healthy enough to warrant acquiring, as the young athlete could not lift his right arm as high as his shoulder during the physical examination.
Philadelphia, PA – Reports coming out of Lincoln Financial Field yesterday are saying Mark Sanchez held an inspiring players-only meeting after the Eagles 20-19 loss to the Miami Dolphins, rallying his teammates around him and inspiring faith in everyone who heard his speech, only to lose every single one of them before he could close out the meeting.
Philadelphia, PA – Thousands of wives throughout the Delaware Valley shook their heads in disbelief around 5 p.m. Sunday night as their husbands were still depressed an hour after the Eagles lost a heartbreaking game to the Miami Dolphins.
Husbands everywhere struggled to contain their emotions, showing more anger and depression than they had in months over anything else.

Constitutional Journal
By Jeffrey St. John
-Monday, July 30, 1787
Last Friday's drafting session began with the words ``We, the people, to form a union...,'' read by Chairman ``Dictator John'' Rutledge from a constitution drawn up in 1520 by five Iroquois Indian nations.
THE Committee of Detail is reliably reported to have settled on a series of steps for drafting a new Constitution to meet its Aug. 6 deadline. The Convention imposed the deadline but otherwise gave the Committee no specific instructions.
A source close to the drafting Committee states that Chairman John Rutledge of South Carolina feels he and his four colleagues are free to make significant contributions of their own. Nonetheless, the Committee intends to incorporate elements of the resolutions that were hammered out during two months of Convention debate.
Three members of the Committee have reportedly assumed the major task of drafting the document. Gov. Edmund Randolph of Virginia is writing the first draft, following closely the resolutions offered at the start of the Convention and debated in 59 separate sessions. The Randolph draft is then to be discussed with his four colleagues, with Mr. Rutledge and James Wilson of Pennsylvania making deletions and revisions. Governor Randolph describes the overall approach to the draft Constitution:
``1.To insert essential principles only, lest the operations of government should be clogged by rendering those provisions permanent and unalterable, which ought to be accommodated to times and events.
``2.To use simple and precise language, and general propositions, according to the example of the [several] constitutions of the several states.''
It is reliably reported that the New York State Constitution of 1777, more than the other 12, is the one that Committee members seem to be relying on for guidance.
The Committee is also reported to be making extensive use of the existing Articles of Confederation. This is a surprise to some observers, since the Articles underwent a severe verbal battering in the Convention debates. They have been blamed for many of the political and economic problems that the Convention was convened to resolve.
Besides agreeing on a division of tasks for drafting the document, the Committee of Detail appears to have agreed on new names for elements of the new national government.
The national Legislature is to be called simply ``Congress.'' The first branch is to be known as ``The House of Representatives'' and the second branch simply ``The Senate.'' The Supreme Judicial Tribunal is to be called ``The Supreme Court.'' The national Executive is ``President of the United States of America'' and addressed as ``His Excellency.''
Rumors have been circulating that the Convention is considering a king to head the new government. The proposal for a single person as Executive, Governor Randolph warned in June, is the ``foetus of monarchy.'' Nevertheless, delegates' concern about the President has been eased considerably by the assumption that the first person to occupy that office will be General Washington.
Meanwhile, members of the Committee of Detail have been working day and night since the Convention recessed five days ago. One source maintains that, while the Committee clearly represents the will of the entire Convention, it is the Chairman, Mr. Rutledge of South Carolina, who is shaping the draft document's content and character.
These day-by-day reports on the Constitutional Convention will continue tomorrow.

Every Single Detail of the Spider-Man: No Way Home Trailer, Explained
By Eliana Dockterman
August 24, 2021 2:21 PM EDT
The ominously titled Spider-Man: No Way Home is proving to be the most anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie since Avengers: Endgame. The first trailer has set the Internet aflame, thanks to some familiar faces from previous Spider-Man films.
No Way Home is likely the last time we'll see Spider-Man in the MCU since Sony's contract to lend the character to Marvel Studios for three solo films is coming to an end. But he'll go out with a bang: the movie will throw Tom Holland's Spider-Man into the multiverse where he will meet characters from previous Spider-Man franchises—specifically the Sony versions starring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, respectively.
While Maguire and Garfield aren't technically confirmed cast members, we're probably getting a live-action version of the Spider-Man pointing meme. We do know that Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2, Jamie Foxx's Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Matt Murdoch from the Netflix TV show Daredevil will all appear in No Way Home. The first trailer also revealed for the first time that we'll get to see versions of the Green Goblin, Sandman and Lizard. And there are a few hints that we may finally get a live-action rendering of a beloved version of Spidey from the comics, Miles Morales.
We do know that Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) will play a pivotal role in the film. When a Spidey villain reveals Spider-Man's secret identity, Peter Parker pleads with Strange to use magic to reverse the revelation. Things go predictably awry from there.
Here's everything you need to know about the first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home and how it fits into the MCU's growing multiverse.
Read More: Why We'll Never Stop Getting New Spider-Man Movies
We see the fallout from Spider-Man's identity reveal in Spider-Man: Far From Home
Sony and Marvel Studios
The last time we saw Holland's Spidey, he was in big trouble. At the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Jake Gyllenhaal's villainous Mysterio created a fake video to make it seem as if Peter Parker murdered Mysterio in cold blood. (As an aside, Mysterio gained Peter's trust by claiming that he was a superhero who arrived on earth from a parallel universe, and then joked with his henchmen about how gullible Peter was for believing the parallel universe nonsense. That past burn may mean that Peter is slow to accept the whole multiverse concept in No Way Home.)
In the final scene of Far From Home, the vindictive journalist J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons, reprising his role from the Sam Raimi movies—more on that later) publishes the Mysterio video and reveals that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
Spider-Man: No Way Home looks to pick up the action seconds after the end of Far From Home. Peter tries to swing away from crowds with his love interest MJ (Zendaya) in his arms. Kids in school snap his photo. Protestors call Peter a "Devil in Disguise." The police bring Peter, his best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) and Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) in for questioning about Mysterio's death.
This dramatic reaction on the part of New York City seems rather harsh considering how normal citizens in the MCU idolize heroes like Iron Man (who revealed his secret identity in the very first Iron Man movie). But in the comics and the other Spidey films, New Yorkers have always been a bit suspicious and scared of Spider-Man, thanks in large part to J. Jonah Jameson's anti-Spidey propaganda at the Daily Bugle. And now that Mysterio has framed Spider-Man for his murder, the public perceives Peter as a vigilante.
Unlike Tony Stark or even Stephen Strange, Peter is just a kid. He can't hide away from the public in his mansion or the Sanctum Sanctorum. Thus, Peter turns to Doctor Strange for help.

Is Matt Murdoch, a.k.a. Daredevil, Peter Parker's lawyer?
We briefly see a man drop a load of papers in front of Peter. This could be a cop confronting him with (fake) evidence that Peter killed Mysterio. Or this could be Peter's lawyer. (Stark Industries would, presumably, have some sort of legal defense fund set up for this very situation.)
We know that Charlie Cox's Matt Murdoch from the Netflix Daredevil TV show is set to appear in the film. Fans think this may be him. The mystery man is sporting Matt's signature white shirt and black tie getup. On a grander scale, this could mean that Netflix's Marvel TV shows, which never really tied into the MCU films, are, in fact, canon.
A "careful what you wish for" plot line pulled from the comics
In the trailer, Peter Parker asks Doctor Strange to make the world forget Peter's secret identity. Wong (Benedict Wong) warns Doctor Strange not to attempt the magic to make this happen, but Strange does so anyway. Strange was reckless in the Doctor Strange film, but taking such a big risk seems uncharacteristic after the events of Infinity War. But perhaps he hasn't learned his lesson. Or, worse still, this is a different sorcerer masquerading as Doctor Strange.
Regardless of his motivation, while Strange is casting his spell, Peter has second thoughts. If MJ, for instance, forgets his secret identity, their bond will disappear. Peter's backtracking messes up the spell and seemingly breaks open the multiverse.
The conceit for No Way Home pulls heavily from the notorious Civil War storyline in the comics in which Peter reveals his secret identity. Peter eventually realizes he made a mistake and put his loved ones at risk. His Aunt May is shot, and in the One More Day storyline, Peter turns to Doctor Strange to help save her. Doctor Strange isn't able to save May's life, so Peter makes a deal with the literal devil, Mephisto. In exchange for Aunt May's life, he has to give up his marriage to MJ, and Mephisto erases MJ's memory of Peter.

A quick primer on the concept of the multiverse
Miles Morales is voiced by Shameik Moore in "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse"
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse was the first popular movie to introduce the idea of a superhero multiverse into the mainstream consciousness. The Oscar-winning animated film centered on Miles Morales, a Black-Puerto Rican teen growing up in Brooklyn. Miles not only gains Spidey powers but is caught up in the combustion of a dangerous machine that makes parallel universes collide. That accident ushers Spider-People (or, well, Spider-beings) from parallel universes—including Peter Parker, Gwen Stacey's Spider-Woman, and a pig named Spider-Ham—into Miles' Brooklyn.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a hit and got movie fans comfortable with the concept of the parallel timelines and multiple versions of superheroes living in different universes. While Spider-verse is not a part of the MCU (it was made by Sony), Marvel Studios has since embraced the concept of a multiverse in its live action properties.

The multiverse wouldn't be possible without Loki
Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Sophia Di Martino as Sylvie in Loki
(Major spoilers for the show Loki in this section)
Marvel Studios introduced the multiverse into its movies and TV shows with the series Loki this summer. In it, the beloved Thor villain (played by Tom Hiddleston) tries to escape to a parallel universe and is stopped by the Time Variance Authority (TVA). The TVA is basically a group of space-time cops responsible for pruning any timelines that branch off the main timeline, creating parallel universes.
The show crucially establishes the concept of "variants," different versions of the same character existing in multiple universes. Loki, for example, falls in love with a female variant of himself who goes by Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino). After watching Loki, it's easy to see how Tobey Maguire Spider-Man and Tom Holland Spider-Man could both exist in the same movie franchise.
By the end of Loki, Loki and Sylvie discover an incredibly intelligent man named Kang the Conquerer (Jonathan Majors) has been behind the TVA and maintaining one single universe. Kang warns them that other Kang variants are even more evil, and if they kill him, they'll just create many parallel universes with many versions of Kang in them. Sylvie chooses to kill Kang anyway, thus creating many branching timelines. (A different version of Kang, also played by Majors, is set to appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.)
Why is this important for Spider-Man? Well, had Doctor Strange created parallel timelines before Loki and Sylvie messed with the universe, the TVA would have just shown up and destroyed the branching timelines. Now, however, chaos reigns and variants can meet one another.

We may finally see a live-action Miles Morales
Ganke and Miles Morales in PlayStation's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Sony—Insomnia
In a brief shot in the trailer, we see Peter wearing a black and gold Spidey suit running through F.E.A.S.T., a homeless shelter from the excellent Spider-Man video game. In that game, Aunt May works at the homeless shelter, as does Miles Morales.
Maybe it's a stretch to say that the inclusion of F.E.A.S.T. in the trailer suggests we'll get to see Miles. But this isn't the first time that the MCU has hinted Miles is coming to the MCU. In the first Holland Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man meets Miles' uncle, Aaron Davis, a.k.a. the Prowler, played by Donald Glover. Aaron name checks his young nephew to Peter. Maybe that version of Miles will get Spidey powers. Or perhaps Peter meets an alternate-universe Miles.

Doctor Octopus is back
The greatest Spider-Man movie villain ever is back on the big screen. Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus emerges on a highway and says, "Hello, Peter." Either Doc Ock is greeting Holland's Peter as if he knows him or he's actually saying hello to Maguire's Peter, and the trailer is just holding back that reveal.
The last time we saw Doctor Octopus, the character drowned in the Hudson. Molina has hinted that the character gets transported from a parallel universe to this movie before his death.
The Green Goblin is back, too
We don't see the Green Goblin in the trailer but we do see a teaser for him: a pumpkin bomb, the Green Goblin's favorite weapon, tossed among a cluster of cars. It looks like the same setting where Peter encounters Doc Ock. It's unclear if Willem Dafoe, who played Green Goblin in the Maguire Spider-Man movies, is returning as the character, or if we're getting another variant of the villain played by another actor. But we do hear a Green Goblin cackle that sounds an awful lot like Dafoe.
And so is Electro
We get a brief shot of an electric bolt flashing above some police cars, which seems to indicate the return of Foxx's Electro. Notably, this electricity is yellow (like it is in the comics) rather than blue (like it is in the Amazing Spider-Man 2). That could be just an aesthetic change, or it could mean this is a totally different Electro than the one we've seen before. Fans would likely embrace a less timid version of the character than the one Foxx portrayed in the 2014 film. After all, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was not particularly well received and ultimately ended the Garfield Spider-Man franchise.
And so is Sandman
Another villain tease! We see sand swirling up from the ground, a telltale sign that bad guy Sandman (who appeared in Spider-Man 3) will also return for this film. Last we saw Sandman in the Maguire Spider-Man movies, he apologized to Peter and blew away. So it's unclear what version of Sandman we'll get.
And so is the Lizard
Lizard, the villain from Amazing Spider-Man, is also making a comeback. It's difficult to see in this screenshot, but we see Holland's Peter briefly turn around and get scared by Lizard in the trailer.
We're probably getting the Sinister Six
Michael Keaton as Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming
Chuck Zlotnick—Sony Pictures Entertainment
That's five villains. One more and we'd have The Sinister Six, a team of super-villains that join forces in order to try to kill Spider-Man. They show up frequently in the comics and, recently, in the aforementioned Spider-Man video game. It's possible that a villain from the first Holland movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming, could join this team, be that Michael Keaton's Vulture or Michael Mando's Scorpion.
Remember, Scorpion confronted Vulture about Spider-Man's identity in an end-credits scene for Homecoming. Now that Scorpion knows who the webslinger is, he'll likely want to go after him. Vulture, too, has reason to hate Spider-Man for landing him behind bars and separating him from his family.
Where are the other Spider-Men?
We don't actually get to see any other Spider-people in the trailer. They may be holding those reveals back for future trailers or for the movie itself.
But we do get some allusions to past movies. For example, the moment at the beginning of the trailer between Holland's Peter and Zendaya's MJ on the roof is reminiscent of the scene where Maguire's Peter and Kirsten Dunst's MJ lie together in a web in the early Spider-Man films. In another shot, Peter and MJ stand atop the Queensborough bridge, which is a pivotal location in the original Spider-Man. These shots are likely intentional reminders of the Spidey films that came before and how Peter's life parallels those of other Peters in other universes.
Are we finally getting a glimpse of the Fantastic Four or X-Men?
This may be an easter egg or just pure desperation on the part of fans to see Wolverine, but Doctor Strange's mug in one shot says "Oh For Fox Sake" on it. This could be a throwaway prop or it may be nodding at Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, which gave Disney the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four characters.
The parallel universes plot is the perfect way to usher the X-Men and Fantastic Four into the MCU. After all, everyone would ask where the heck all those heroes were during the fight against Thanos if they were to just come out of hiding now. There's already a lot going on in No Way Home, so I doubt we'll get a glimpse of Reed Richards or Raven in this movie, but a fan can dream.
Does Spider-Man: No Way Home connect to Morbius or Venom?
Jared Leto in Morbius
Yes and no. After the Garfield Spider-Man movies failed to make quite the splash that the Maguire movies had, Sony turned to Disney for help producing a new set of Spidey films. Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: No Way Home were all co-produced by Sony and Disney.
However their three-picture contract ends with Spider-Man: No Way Home. (Indeed, the deal almost fell apart before No Way Home ever saw the light of day.) Sony fully intends on building out an entire Spider-verse without Disney and has begun producing film series for some of Spidey's greatest villains, including Venom and Morbius. A Venom sequel and Morbius are both due out in the next year.
These villains do exist in Spider-Man's world: Keaton's Vulture, the main villain in Homecoming, appears in the Morbius trailer.
What happens to Spider-Man after No Way Home?
Michelle (Zendaya) catches a ride from Spider-Man (Tom Holland) in Spider-Man: Far From Home
JoJo Whilden—Sony Pictures
The title of the film does not bode well for Peter's future in the MCU. Sony wants its own cinematic universe to compete with Marvel's and continuing to lend Disney its most popular character undermines that goal.
But Sony will definitely want to keep the character, or some iteration of him, around for future movies. In the meantime, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius and a Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse sequel are all on their way to theaters to build out the Spider-Man multiverse.
What happens to Doctor Strange after No Way Home?
The upcoming movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be helmed by Sam Raimi, the beloved director of all three Maguire Spider-Man movies, so the plot of that film will likely be directly tied to No Way Home. Marvel has confirmed that Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. Scarlett Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) will also star in that film, though it's unclear if she'll play a hero or a villain. The end of WandaVision suggests she could turn good or evil.
If someone has to piece the multiverse back together, it'll likely be Strange or Wanda or both, considering they are the only two magic users and two of the strongest Avengers. Whether No Way Home ends with a happy resolution or with the multiverse in chaos, all signs point toward Doctor Strange playing a major role in the next phase of the MCU.

Buhari Vs CJN Onnoghen: Fani-Kayode attacks NBA
Fani-Kayode, former Minister of Aviation, has berated the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, over its decision on the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Following its National Executive Council meeting yesterday, NBA announced plans to embark on a two day boycott of court.
A statement issued at the end of the meeting had read: "The NBA-NEC Emergency meeting which was held today, the 28th of January 2019, ended with some resolutions.
"It was held that lawyers all over Nigeria boycott all courts in the land for two days starting from the 29th day of January, 2019."
Reacting, Fani-Kayode wondered why NBA will embark on just two days boycott.
In a tweet, the former Minister wrote: "The NBA say they will boycott the courts for two days in reaction to the illegal removal of CJN Onnoghen!

With just weeks remaining before the planned Brexit date of 29 Mar 2019 will soon be upon us, and the increasing likelihood of a no-deal situation, are you ready? Industry must position itself for a no-deal scenario but what exactly does this mean?
continuing to recognise prescriptions issued in EU or EEA countries.
the expansion of the MHRA's registration system to all classes of medical device.
Where the Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH) is not established in the UK on exit day, companies will be expected to put in place a UK-based contact person within four weeks of the exit date. This individual must be accessible to the licensing authority in respect of any matter relating to the Marketing Authorisation (MA). This requirement will no longer apply once a UK MAH is established.
UK based MAH's who wish to continue to supply to the EU are bound by regulatory legislation to seek alternative MAH locations within the EU. As an MAH, it is very important to understand that the MAH retains responsibility for all MAH activities even if they have been delegated via a contractual agreement.
We, at PharmaLex, can support your organisation in many ways including the provision of regulatory support for MAH's, performance of Brexit readiness assessments or provision of a collaborative responses to any technical queries that you may have in relation to Brexit.

When catalogues become books
November 12, 2006 October 16, 2019 - by Ryan BiggeRyan Bigge Updated 10:34, Oct. 16, 2019 | Published 4:22, Nov. 12, 2006This article was published over a year ago. Some information may no longer be current.
ikea Catalogue 2007: Love Your Home
by Ingvar Kamprad, 364 pp.
Writing in the New York Times in 1986, book critic Edwin J. Kenney alluded to a nascent literary genre known as Kmart realism. This new literature, marked by frequent references to brand names and an obsessive attention to surface detail, described the bleak geography of the discounted American underclass. The latest instalment in Ingvar Kamprad's infamous literary franchise, filled as it is with what one might dub ikea realism, upgrades this genre. Kamprad is similarly obsessed with shiny surfaces, but his European élan results in stories of fresh, attainable futures rather than the ennui of dead-end suburbia and fast-food parking lots.
In his newest book, Kamprad returns readers to an ultramodern society where residents are described with a surfeit of umlauts (Tylösand, Värde, Näckten) and eight-digit identifying codes. This is an egalitarian civilization of democratic design, filled with affordable solutions for better living. If read conventionally, the plot is pedantic, resembling an overdetermined romantic set piece in a chick-lit novel: beginning in the kitchen, it quickly moves through the living room before reaching the bedroom. But the genius of Kamprad's work is how it can be treated as a grown-up choose-your-own-adventure that allows readers to assemble their own narratives.
The first tome in this series, a Bildungsroöman driven less by personal trauma or societal discontentment than by a gentle but persistent desire to impose order upon the chaos of modern life, appeared in 1951 as Kamprad struggled to define and defend his aesthetic disposition. Through the years, his flat-packed prose has remained remarkably contemporary, always avoiding the excesses of each era and hewing to a clean, efficient style that surpasses even the taut sentences of a Carver or a Chandler.
Despite Kamprad's predictability — or perhaps because of his consistency — his readers never seem to tire of his tropes, instead returning again and again for variations on a theme. Old favourites appear in many scenes, but in each new volume Kamprad introduces a stack of new, well-rounded characters into his fictive warehouse. If there is a protagonist lurking within this tome, it is Billy, a stable fellow, whom Kamprad describes as "a bookcase that doesn't try to be anything other than a bookcase." Still, the reader suspects that beneath birch-blond Billy's thin veneer and sangfroid lurks a complex mix of motivations, resentments, and sawdust.
But Kamprad's characters are a taciturn bunch. An experimental novelist, he dispenses with dialogue and a stable setting, and some of his shorter passages read like Dada poetry crossed with a classified ad: "pax barmen. $537. Oak effect foil finish. One mirror door. RA. w150xd60xh201cm." Thus, for lasting insights, one must turn to the book's themes: mythologies of transformation, the eroticization of furniture, and home organization as moral imperative. The only theorist, literary or otherwise, with an appropriate grasp of such psychodynamics — not to mention sufficient diacritics — is Slavoj Žižek.
Žižek demystifies the tension between knowledge and action — how our beliefs are made manifest not through what we say, but what we do. He argues that fantasy allows us to go through the motions of modern life, even when our knowledge of reality threatens to overwhelm or incapacitate us. Put bluntly, though we know very well that the parking lot will be full, the showroom crammed with arguing couples, the checkout lineup serpentine, and our purchases missing parts, we arrive each Saturday morning just the same, hoping this time will be different.
As is, by the book's conclusion one is left wondering: what is a dream kitchen, exactly? And what does a clean, well-lighted room of one's own have to do with literature? Kamprad is sophisticated enough to leave readers to find their own answers to these questions.
Will fans find this instalment compelling? With an initial print run of 175 million copies in 27 languages, Kamprad's publisher certainly appears confident of yet another worldwide bestseller. While not everyone might embrace the new ikea realism Kamprad has been key in establishing, there is much to admire in this marketplace of ideas. Would that our mental furniture were so structured, our logic so aesthetically pleasing, and our goals so meticulously indexed.

Zapruder Films will give an emerging female filmmaker $12,000 — 100 per cent of their Telefilm funding — in a contest running Sept. 8-18.
Whenever Matthew Miller and Matt Johnson find themselves at a film festival, the same thing keeps happening, and it's getting weird.
They could be at Sundance, where they premiered Operation Avalanche in January. Or TIFF, where they'll be screening their Vice TV series, nirvanna the band the show, this week.
Every time, they find themselves wondering, 'Where in the world are the women?' — and they're definitely not the only ones asking.
The film industry has a huge gender imbalance, and it goes beyond the sausage party that is, apparently, the festival circuit.
Looking at the 91 features to come out of Canada in 2013-'14, a study by Women in View found that 22 per cent of those movies were written by women, and just 17 per cent were made by female directors. Hollywood's even more skewed; on a list of the 250 biggest movies of 2015, 7 per cent have a female director. Those numbers have declined over the last two decades.
"The issue — to us, it's a no brainer," says Miller, and changing things, according to him, is everyone's responsibility. So this fall, Zapruder Films is doing something about it.
Taking 100 per cent of the Telefilm funding they received this year — money they could've stashed away for a future movie project — Zapruder will back a first-time female screenwriter. They'll give her $12,000 to develop a project, plus the guidance of a professional story editor, and the script she writes will be optioned by the company.
To find this screenwriter, they're launching a contest this week, and between Sept. 8-18 (so, the duration of TIFF) they'll be taking applications. By September 30, in a turnaround time unusually short for a Canadian development program, a winner will be announced.
"If we run this contest, then in a very tiny way we're shifting the odds a little bit in the direction we want to see things go," Miller tells CBC Arts.
"We feel like there isn't enough being done to address the disproportionate nature of financing based on gender," he adds, though the scales have been nudged a few times in recent memory.
Bell Media's funding programs for short films, BravoFACT and BravoFACTUAL, say they'll give half their money to female-led projects. In June, CBC-TV promised that 50 per cent of its directors will be women. And on International Women's Day this past March, the NFB set a three-year target for total gender parity. By 2020, half of their production budget will go to female-directed projects, while their film slate will reflect the same balance.
"That's a pretty bold statement for the National Film Board to make," says Miller. "And you know, why shouldn't that be the case? That's terrific."
"And yet, the narrative feature film world, which is a world that we're a part of, hasn't stepped up yet. I keep hearing murmurs and discussions," he says. Telefilm and the Canada Media Fund, for example, released an official joint statement responding to the issue. As they wrote in April, gender parity is a priority for them, and they're committed "to finding viable and lasting solutions." However, a plan is still TBA.
"We don't see Telefilm as the enemy," says Miller. His production partner at Zapruder, Matt Johnson, has previously blasted the government agency's funding strategy in interviews, saying their reward-based system supports the old guard, and neglects the emerging talent still struggling to get noticed.
These 10 TIFF films are "secretly Canadian"
"It's one thing to be critical of an organization, but it's another to sort of back things up," says Miller. "We can't change how Telefilm functions, but we can change how we choose to spend our development money."
And that money, while not enough to complete a feature film, could be a game-changer for someone entering the industry. It would have been for him, he says, remembering his first project. Says Miller: "$12,000 was half of our production budget."
"If $12,000 buys you four months of being able to do nothing else but work on a script, we think that's really valuable."
Beyond that, he hopes the program benefits more than just the winner. The idea is to inspire other people in the film industry to take action, too. If they see a problem with the way things are, they have the power to change things.
"If we can do this, and we're such a small company, why can't bigger production companies do this?" asks Miller. "I'm not saying every production company needs to run a contest, but maybe they need to say, 'Oh, we should be developing more films written by women.'"
Miller and Zapruder are committed to seeing the films they select through.
"We like the idea of using this money to support other people and support other projects," he says.
"What would be incredible would be two years from now, the movie we're supporting right now is screened at TIFF. That would be a success story."

Are these the best Canadian films of all time?

A new surgical robot bores into the brain like a wood wasp. I just love biomimetic robots, don't you?
Female wood wasps of the Siricidae family use an ovipositor, a needle-like shaft, to bore into pine trees and deposit their eggs. Two dovetailed shafts feature backward facing teeth. With each oscillation, the ovipositor moves a bit forward.
Ferdinando Rodriguez y Baena at Imperial College London noticed that this boring movement is remarkably gentle in its application. He remarks "It can insinuate itself into the tissue with the minimum amount of force."
His team has created a prototype medical probe; the silicon needle consists of two shafts with teeth just 50 microns long. Tiny motors oscillate the shafts to propel the device forward just like the wood wasp.
Researchers hope that it can reduce the number of incisions needed to reach different parts of a brain tumor; it can crawl across the surface of the brain and then burrow in.
This medical team is not the first group to notice the digging capabilities of the wood wasp. In a 1996 paper, a drill with similar inspiration was suggested for interplanetary exploration probes by Yang Gao; Ellery, Jaddou, and Vincent.
The woodwasp ovipositor, on the other hand, employs a longitudinal cyclical motion with its twin valves. Teeth on these valves alternately provide the reaction force required for drilling by the other valve. These teeth become pockets on different sides of the valves that enable waste to be transported up the hole.
This device reminded me of the robotic mining worms from Emmett McDowell's 1946 science fiction story Love Among the Robots and the spaghetti-like robot earthworms from Harry Harrison's classic 1962 story War With The Robots.
Seen close it was not completely flexible, but made instead of pivoted and smoothly finished segments. The robot pointed out the parts of int0erest.
"...At the front end is a hard-edged orifice that drills a hole in the ground. Debris is carried back through the body of the machine and eliminated here: in operation it is not unlike the common earthworm.

For the school on Cantrell Road is the latest to complete the Waste In Schools Education (WISE) programme.
Initiatives undertaken in school include recycling all print cartridges, stamps and batteries and setting up an eco club.
Youngsters have taken part in paper-making and creative composting and have even been taught how to make sure the contents of their lunchboxes come from sustainable sources.
All the activities have been promoted through the school newsletter.
To mark their achievement, children and staff were presented with a certificate from Nottingham City Councils sustainability education officer.
The WISE project gives pupils the chance to become engaged in helping to keep Nottingham as the UKs cleanest big city and to follow best practice in waste management.
Everyone at Cantrell Primary School has worked hard to achieve the objectives set out in the WISE project and has made a real difference to their environment.
I hope they continue to work hard and complete the targets set out in their action plan. Hopefully, they will also encourage more of their friends and family to be more environmentally aware.
