Series: This Week's TV MVPs - Week 21
9:58 PM contributor: hope, contributor: jen, contributor: lizzie, contributor: maddie, contributor: megan mann, contributor: meredith, guest poster: jon, series: tv mvp No comments
After 21 weeks, I'm not sure that this series needs any further introduction for you all! I will say, though, that as midseason finales are approaching (seriously HOW IS IT ALREADY TIME FOR MIDSEASON FINALES?!), the stakes are being consistently upped in the shows that we are watching. Secrets are unraveling, plans are being revealed, and spin-offs are being set up. With midseason finales lurking around the corner, our performers are bringing out some of their most emotional work, laying the groundwork for what is to come in the next few weeks.
So let's get to it, then! Joining me this week are the wonderful:
Jenn's MVP: Mozhan Marnò as Samar Navabi (The Blacklist)
Why she's the MVP: In spite of the fact that The Blacklist has hit a bit of a rough patch in the past few episodes in terms of storytelling, this week's episode provided me with one, unquestionable standout — Mozhan Marnò. I've always found Samar to be a really interesting character on The Blacklist. She often comes across as detached and precise. In the saga this season regarding Liz on the run, she has been the only member of the team to actively question Liz's motivations and innocence. While Ressler's feelings toward Liz and Aram's friendship with her have clouded their judgement in a lot of ways, Samar hasn't had that problem. But in this week's episode, we had the chance to see Samar's backstory — and it was absolutely wonderful and heartbreaking, as the past bled into the present-day in a significant way. Samar's brother, whom she once presumed to be dead, shows up when the FBI raids a warehouse where a suspected terrorist is operating.
... Except then Samar realizes that her beloved little brother — the boy she vowed to protect — is the terrorist himself. The anguish and shock during her discovery of this, coupled with her fear and disgust over watching him and the other terrorists slaughter innocent people is powerful. But what really stands out to me and what makes Mozhan so MVP-worthy this week is the moment that she makes the decision to hand her brother over to Red. As I mentioned above, we don't often see Samar emotional. We see her more rational and logical, but this episode — and this scene, really — we get the chance to experience all of the pain that Samar has carried around with her throughout most of her life.
Mozhan Marnò absolutely nails every single emotional beat in this episode. In the course of one episode, she is asked to be flirtatious, relieved, terrified, brave, anguished, exhausted, and many more different emotions. And I think that what truly struck me about her performance this week was how raw and vulnerable it felt. I was so used to seeing Samar as this stoic, heroic figure that watching her break down in the office and lean against the doorframe at the end of the episode felt intensely personal and emotional to me, almost as if I should be looking away because the moment was so private. I love that The Blacklist took this episode to explore her character and cannot praise Mozhan enough for making Samar so wonderfully nuanced in her grief (I got choked up when she turned away from her brother and said that, to her, he died years ago in the bombing) and her portrayal.
Lizzie's MVP: Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan (Once Upon A Time)
Why she's the MVP: If you're asking why I chose Jennifer Morrison as my MVP, then you haven't been watching season five of Once Upon A Time. It's rare than an actor gets to play a completely different side to a character five years into a show, and yet that's exactly what Jennifer has gotten to do thanks to this Dark Swan story arc. And, if it just were her playing the villain, that would not be noteworthy. Bad guys are everywhere in media, and good actors who play bad guys are not that rare either.
But to be able show vulnerability while playing a dark character — to show pain and love and fear and anger while still maintaining the facade of control, and more importantly, to make us see the struggle, physically, on screen... that's not only more than we usually get, that's more than any of us had a right to expect.
This is not the first time Jennifer Morrison has made stop and go marvel at her excellence. To me, she's always been an exceptional actress — I've loved her since House. But I never really understood her range, her capability for transmitting raw emotion until I saw her as the Dark Swan. In last week's episode she gets what, to me, is the moment of the week. With the fight to remain Emma clear on her face, she tells Nimue that she doesn't need the power of the Dark One to feel purpose and to feel complete — to be something. She's not nothing; she never has been.
It's the rallying cry for anyone who's ever been misunderstood or pushed aside — it's Emma saying "I'm enough, I'm worthy, I'm good." And if the moment feels universal, the sentiment something all of us can relate to, it's because of Jennifer's outstanding performance. She might be the Dark Swan, but she's also Emma. And thanks to Jennifer, we love them both.
Meredith's MVP: Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen (Arrow)
Why he's the MVP: Surprise! Mer chose someone from Arrow as MVP this week. I know everyone is totally shocked, right? To be honest, I could have chosen one of four amazing Arrow actors this week, as along with Stephen Amell, Emily Bett Rickards, Charlotte Ross, and David Ramsey all delivered stellar performances. But as much as I love them all, Amell really shone this week. This episode was much more of a character and relationship study than it was an action-packed one — although the action sequences it did have were impressive — but the true crux of the episode was an examination of Felicity's (Rickards) character, and by extension, her relationship with Amell's Oliver.
Amell does action well. He has a physicality to him that translates into believability on screen during fights and stunts sequences, but when he really gets to show off his acting chops and when he gets to play alongside other strong actors that get at the heart of who his character is, he's never better. It's been said in the MVP series time and time again, but it's worth repeating: Amell and Rickards are perfection when together on screen. Every interaction they have is laced with chemistry, an understanding, and a connection. They understand their characters along with each other's characters, and there is a mutual respect there that is obvious.
So this week, it made sense that we saw Oliver play the supportive but concerned boyfriend — a man worried about his relationship as he realizes that for the first time ever he is the one more ready for commitment. Amell played his part expertly. With just a look in his eyes, or a quirk of his lips, or a tilt of his head, he conveyed every emotion Oliver was feeling — fear, sadness, worry, understanding, love. He didn't even need words, though he delivered those perfectly as well. Despite the strength and emotion of all of many of Amell's scenes, none of them are my pick for his best scene this week — the conversation between Oliver and Diggle in the lair, after Felicity reveals her fears over losing herself to Oliver.
Amell and Ramsey have an ease and naturalness to their interactions that speak to their offscreen friendship and mutual affection, and it's to the writers' credit that they quickly wrapped up their characters' conflict so as to get back to this easy camaraderie. This brief scene where the men share a drink is as important as it is genuine. Dig talks sense into his friend, as only he can. Because Oliver was upset, worried, and feeling insecure, so he went to the one place and one person that he knew would understand the situation. Amell's intuitiveness into Oliver's psyche was never more apparent than this scene, where he explained that he isn't jealous of Ray, but rather disbelieving that such an amazing woman chose him.
It speaks to four seasons of Oliver's self-doubt and lack of self-worth, all coming out as he finds himself, for the first time, in a relationship that he wants to last forever. Even at the end of the episode, when the couple makes up, these lingering doubts are clear on Amell's face and in his tone. It takes the one-two punch of the conversation with Diggle and the end scene with Felicity to start to alleviate his concerns, and Amell plays it all brilliantly.
Though Amell does a truly commendable job of carrying the show week after week, the scenes and episodes that allow him to show his deep understanding of his character, as well as the characters with whom he interacts, really showcase his talent. This week provided that in spades, and Amell rose to the challenge.
Maddie's MVP: Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak (Arrow)
Why she's the MVP: Do you want to know how strongly I feel that Emily Bett Rickards was the absolute reigning-above-all MVP of television this week? I literally stayed up until 5:07 AM on Friday morning so I would be the first one to answer Jenn's email to claim her for this week's post. (This is what it takes to beat Mer.) Trust me when I say going into a 12-hour workday with three hours of sleep was absolutely worth it because EBR is queen of everything and I have a lot of feelings.
Anyone who knows me well knows that I strongly identify with Felicity Smoak. In all my years of being obsessed with television, I have never come across a character that is so much like me. I love her dearly and revel in any chance I get to learn more about this beautiful, strong, amazing character. Felicity was put through the ringer this week, and the audience got to see a more frazzled, distressed, and overwhelmed side to her. There are some who claim whenever Felicity Smoak steps out of her "quirky nerd" or "romantic love interest" box they have put her in that she is out of character. While I have some words for those people that Jenn doesn't allow us to use on this site, I believe that EBR's performance in this episode shuts down any such nonsensical arguments completely.
While adding new colors to the palette in the exquisite portrait of her character, Rickards managed to still make it genuine and completely "Felicity." As we witness by her ponytail not being perfectly smooth, Felicity Smoak is in crisis mode. She is stressed, tired, and livid, which makes her responses different than the calm Smoak we usually see.
Rickards was able to take the determination, efficiency, and independent spirit we have seen in Felicity Smoak before and translate it into portraying her as frustrated, frantic, guarded and independent. Independence makes it incredibly difficult to let others in and rely on them. In EBR's performance, you essentially see Felicity do the emotional equivalent of slamming on the brakes at the realization at how much of herself she has given to Oliver. She is terrified, but outwardly covers it with frustration and a sharp tongue.
Using the strength gained from working with actors with whom she has such earnest and magical chemistry, Rickards was able to really dig deep emotionally this episode. The scene in which Felicity revealed her insecurities to Oliver was gut-wrenching. The vulnerability she exuded during her scenes with just Stephen Amell, as well as Charlotte Ross, moved me to tears. We got a revelation of Felicity's soul and how much she is growing as a woman in one of the healthiest and beautiful relationships currently on television.
The emotional payoff — as Felicity realized the strength that comes from letting someone in — was exquisite. In a sweet and captivating scene with Charlotte Ross, you see Mama Smoak's words sink in on Felicity's face and, without speaking a word, EBR is able to soften. Thus in the final scene with Stephen, Felicity's light has returned. We see this renewed confidence and love in her movements and hear it in her voice.
Emily Bett Rickard's ability to play such strong emotions with such a gentility and ease is unparalleled. The soft smile filled with love as she reassures Oliver in her belief in their relationship is everything. Overall, this episode really allowed Emily Bett Rickards to shine to the full potential of her radiance and it was a joy and a compelling journey to take part in. EBR is our leading lady and her absolute talent, emotional depth, loving spirit and charisma are the definition of "real girl power" and the reason why she is unequivocally this week's TV MVP.
Jon's MVP: Tom Cavanagh as Earth-2 Harrison Wells (The Flash)
Why he's the MVP: Ever since returning last month, The Flash has been moving full steam ahead, completely embracing its comic book roots with the introduction of the multiverse theory, specifically Earth-2. We've witnessed the return of Dr. Harrison Wells over the past two weeks — albeit the Earth-2 version of him, played with a mix of quiet fury and trepidation by Tom Cavanagh.
What has been so great about Cavanagh's performance is that he essentially gets to reinvent a new character that we're already familiar with. Rather than make Wells menacing and evil again, Cavanagh conveys him as prideful, and, later, remorseful. We learn Wells did create the metahumans on Earth-2, but rather than keep that a secret, he designs anti-metahuman technology to profit from their existence. It is interesting to see Wells as more of a pioneer, someone who we would have anticipated had he had lived on Earth-1. Cavanagh brilliantly portrays this greed in the beginning, with a façade that he believes he's one of the world's biggest pioneers.
However, Cavanagh once again shows how adept he is at portraying the different layers of Wells. While at first "Harry" appears abrasive and prideful, we see on Earth-1 that he's more distrusting and remorseful. Harry, we learn, had a hand in creating Zoom — the unstoppable menace who has since kidnapped Harry's daughter. Here, we feel sympathy for Wells, if only because now we see him as a father simply trying to save his daughter. Cavanagh does an excellent job at conveying Wells' desperation in these moments and making that desperation relatable.
In some of this week's lighter moments, Wells becomes annoyed by Cisco's awkwardness. But we get to the big reason why I picked Cavanagh as MVP — after insisting on immediately going after Zoom, Wells becomes anguished when the plan does not work. He then lets out a tortured scream and soon reveals why he wants Zoom so badly. In this moment, Cavanagh shines as Wells. All the torture, anxiety, and desperation he feels at fixing his mistake and reuniting his family is poured out in this small moment. Cavanagh quietly builds the anger and frustration, then unleashes it in this small but powerful burst. It'll be interesting to see what layers he will reveal for the rest of the season.
Hope's MVP: Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon (The Flash)
Why he's the MVP: You guys might know by now that the TV MVP series has turned into a competitive sport around here. So as I watched this week's stellar episode of The Flash (seriously, they went all out for this one), I was also actively on the hunt for my MVP candidate. Although the whole cast did wonderfully, Valdes really shone this week.
The ups and downs of this episode — from far too many one-liners to list here, to the whole iffy Wells thing, to the intense last act — were extensive. I'm in no way surprised by this range — this is a show with a wonderful sense of humor and a good dose of high-stakes drama. The cast of actors are remarkably talented at bringing humor to any scene in a subtle, natural way, all while keeping the dialogue grounded. However, hands down, Cisco had some of the best lines of the whole episode. And while the lines themselves are funny on paper, the brilliance of these lines stems from the delivery of Valdes, who can take a simple line such as "Whatever, Harry" or "Yeah, SAW THAT" and present them in such a way that makes you want to pause the TV so you can laugh and take in the glorious humor without missing anything else. The scenes between Earth-2 Wells and Cisco were just the right amount of tense, and the somber tone of Cisco and Caitlin at Star Labs in the last act made the whole thing heart-wrenching and believable (obviously we're not going to lose Barry to Zoom). Valdes managed to balance these heavier moments out with the cardboard cutouts training scene, which was light and fun. Now that Cisco has powers, I have a feeling he's going to move even more into center stage of the show, and I can't wait.
The bottom line is that Valdes simply IS Cisco. It's beyond comprehension that someone else could have played this character and played him right. He knows just when Cisco should be joking about something and when he should say something with complete seriousness. That's what makes this character so nuanced and human. Cisco is a combination of many things — he's not only the most comedic, excitable, positive character of Team Flash, but he also keeps the show grounded through courage, loyalty, and a good amount of sarcasm. There's a scene in this episode where Caitlin is ranting and mentions a hypothetical villain named Sergeant Slow, who would hypothetically wreak havoc on Central City. Cisco, leaning back in his chair and with completely blasé seriousness replies: "I would never let that happen. Sergeant Slow is a terrible name." It's little moments like this that make The Flash what it is, and when Cisco is given such moments, Valdes conveys them perfectly.
Jen's MVP: Charlotte Ross as Donna Smoak (Arrow)
Why she's the MVP: Before the episode even aired, Arrow's "Lost Souls" created a both a collective sigh of relief and cries of joy from fans. Mama Smoak would be here. We knew everything would be wonderful... and everything would be fine.
Playing fan favorite Felicity Smoak's mother is no easy task. Fans are equally as passionate about Felicity as they are protective. With each episode in which she is featured, Charlotte Ross rises to that challenge, but "Lost Souls" is her strongest performance to date. Donna Smoak bursts on screen in her trademark tight dress and shrieks of joy as soon as she lays eyes on on Felicity. Her daughter's shock is understandable because it isn't Felicity who invited her mother to town, but boyfriend Oliver. Mama Smoak arrives just in time to see Felicity's meltdown over her relationship with Oliver. And Felicity's fierce independence and fear of abandonment finally come to a head as her relationship with Oliver cements in commitment.
In a deeply powerful performance, Charlotte Ross captures Donna's unconditional love for Felicity — the mother guiding her daughter through uncharted romantic territory. As she reflects on her life with Felicity's father — the man who abandoned them both — Ross uses the dialogue in the scene to tenderly unearth the hurt, betrayal and pain Donna carries. And yet... Donna Smoak is not jaded. She can recognize that Oliver is nothing like Felicity's father. With a breaking voice — one equally wistful as it is grateful — Donna tells Felicity she doesn't have to be afraid. She can love Oliver.
In this moment, Donna gives her daughter the freedom to lose herself in that love without fear. She can see further down the line than Felicity and knows, in the end, her daughter is truly found with Oliver. It is quite simply a stunning performance. Ross portrays Donna's desire for a better life for her child in every gesture and word. In short, Charlotte Ross captured the essence of motherhood in a single performance.
On the surface, Donna and Felicity are nothing alike, but the magic Ross brings to Donna Smoak is by playing the humor in their differences and finding the heartfelt emotion in their similarities. The reason the audience has fallen in love with Donna Smoak is because Ross found the heart of a Smoak woman — a deeply kind, compassionate, brave, and wise person who loves with her whole self. Thanks to Charlotte Ross' performance, the audience knows Felicity Smoak is truly her mother's daughter.
Megan's MVP: Adelaide Kane as Mary, Queen of Scots (Reign)
Why she's the MVP: Last week was a bit of a doozy for those in the know at French court. King Francis's health has been in rapid decline and it was a struggle to keep his condition from getting out. Mary, knowing her duties as a queen, was stoic and kept it together until the very end. But it wasn't his end. The healer Delphine saves the day and rescued him from his fate.
With Francis now alive and seemingly well, Mary is happy and hopeful for their future. She looks forward to a long life with her husband. Since the stress of Francis's health no longer an issue, Mary is able to sign a peace treaty with her cousin and enemy, Queen Elizabeth, and forfeit her claim to the Scottish throne. Her life is finally in a good place and she can be at peace.
However, unbeknownst to Mary, Nostradamus has told Catherine that his visions of Francis's fate still haunt his dreams. Catherine tells Francis, but they decide not to tell and worry Mary. Francis instead takes Mary to Paris to do what he wished they could have done before his illness intensified.
All the while, Mary is blissfully unaware of the cloud still hanging over her husband's head. She's happy for the first time in a while and is practically glowing. As they're on their way to Paris, she asks the driver to stop and says they should go for a swim alone in the lake. Francis agrees and they have a wonderful private time together. She dresses and informs him that she's going to ready the guards. It's not long before she runs into a group of men who were sent to kill her. She's scared and doesn't see a way out of the situation. Francis comes to her rescue, and only too late realizes the tree Nostradamus foresees him dying under is there. He fights the outlaws before the guards can arrive. One slams his head into the ground three times as Mary watches and screams. It's a pain that you can hear — a pain that you know is full of terror for her husband.
The assassins have all died and, as Mary turns to Francis, he stands still and quickly collapses. She races over to him, full of dread. They had gone through so much and now he's to be taken from her again. She wails for the guards to run for help, but there's no use. She knows that this is Francis's fate, that he will die here. She sobs and says that she will never love another the way that she loved him.
Catherine and Bash arrive to a very lost Mary. Catherine asks her to let go of Francis and grab hold of her instead. It's then that Mary realizes what has truly happened and starts to wail. She arrives back at the castle in a fit of sorrow and rage. She races through the throne room screaming and ripping down flags. Her whole life has been dismantled, only when it had finally gotten better. She runs from the throne room into the English ambassador's chambers and demands to know why Elizabeth sent those assassins. She cannot believe her cousin would stoop so low when they had signed a peace treaty. Mary refuses to hear what the man has to say.
Distraught and unable to see beyond what she believes, Mary throws the peace treaty into the fire without hesitation. As the funeral begins, Narcisse tells her that they caught the one who ran and it was actually Scottish rebels who attacked them. She cannot believe that the Englishman was telling the truth, but immediately gives the order for the remaining assassin to be hanged. When the guard tells her it's customary for the Queen of France to ride in the first carriage, she reminds them that she is no longer their queen and proceeds to walk behind the casket. The entire situation has turned her cold and empty.
What Adelaide Kane did so brilliantly in this episode is go from an optimist who stares brightly into the future and full of love to someone scared and not only heartbroken, but shattered and full of sorrow, to someone who is hard and staring into an uncertain future. She ran from one end of the spectrum to the other all within the course of one episode and was believable from start to finish. I was in tears by the time she was screaming in the forest and cried alongside until the very end. She did a beautiful job and it will be interesting to see where she goes from here — as both an actress and a character.
Bonus MVP: Toby Regbo as King Francis (Reign)
Long live the King, my friends. I can't help but love Toby Regbo and all that he has given to this season of the show. He was never particularly my favorite in the beginning, but he's been so amazing and has played this arc and character so well. I thought that Regbo was truly special and gave so much emotional depth when it was necessary. He was soft and kind and had no regret. I absolutely loved Francis, and even though I can read a Wikipedia article and know he, as a character, was doomed from the beginning, I will still miss him.
There you have it, folks! We've mentioned our TV MVPs. Do you agree? Hit up the comments and let us know who your MVP for the week is. :)

I'm looking at this tutorial and I don't understand why he used such big resistor for his circuit.
It says in the 4 digit LED schematics that the led has the forward current If = 20mA and the forward voltage of Fv = 2.5 V. If I want to hook it to my RPI GPIO pins, I know that the max current that a GPIO pin is 50mA (correct me if I'm wrong) and DC of 3.3V. If I do the ohms low I get from (3.3V - 2.5V) / 0.02 A = 40 Ω.
So in my opinion I should use 40 Ω for the anode pins of the LED . Why he used 220Ω ? Why he chosen that specific transistor? And Why he added to that transistor a 4,7k Ω resistor ? I know the transistor has a collector, emitter and a base. To open the connection on a NPN transistor you need to apply some voltage through the Base. I need to hook up the emitter to ground and the collector to the cathode of the 4 digit led component.
I know I should probably use a NPN transistor but would it matter if I use a PNP instead? I understand that the circuit changes, active high instead of active low, but are there any drawbacks to PNP over NPN?
Please correct me and explain what physics theorem I should use in order to compute and know exactly what I need in order to make this project possible.
First of all, you had some basic concept wrong. When an LED is on, the voltage between the anode and the cathode of the LED is minimum, only about 0.5-0.7v. This is why the tutorial said that the 200ohms give a readout of 12.8mA. (3.3-0.5)v/220ohm is about 12.7mA.
What kind of transistor to be used depend on the logic of the circuit that you need and how you design your circuitry. In this case, The LED has a common cathode connection, and it need to be driven to GROUND (0v) when a signal (a positive voltage) is applied at the base of the transistor so that the transistor can be 'switch on' (i.e. the resistance between collector and emitter are minimum), therefore NPN make sense for this application.
Also, I don't believe you can get 50mA from a (single) Pi i/o pin == last I looked it was more like 5mA..

We never thought we were writing for posterity, because at the time everyone assumed that all the great standards had already been written by Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein... The songs we were writing were supposed to be temporary things, of the period, like comic books.

We fought about words, we fought about music. We fought about everything.
Our songs did not transcend R&B. They were R&B hits that white kids were attracted to.
Jerry Leiber
I write a melody and then change it and change it until I get it the way I like it.
I heard this music coming out of the radio and it was 'Ain't Nobody's Business.' It got me. I thought, 'I can do this.' I decided just like that. No romantic story.
Hound Dog' took like twelve minutes. That's not a complicated piece of work. But the rhyme scheme was difficult. Also, the metric structure of the music was not easy. 'Kansas City' was maybe eight minutes, if that. Writing the early blues was spontaneous. You can hear the energy in the work.
Honestly, when Jerry and I started to write, we were writing to amuse ourselves. It was done out of the love of doing it. And we got very lucky in the sense that at some point what we wrote also amused a lot of other people.

'Sharif family has become habitual to distorting the truth', says Fawad Chaudhry
Fawad Chaudhry says Shahbaz Sharif lied for more than an hour during his press conference

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday said that the "Sharif family has become habitual to distorting the truth," as he criticised Shahbaz Sharif for "lying for more than an hour during his press conference."
Speaking to the media in Islamabad alongside the Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib, Fawad provided details of the money-laundering case against Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif, Geo.tv reported.
He said that while Shahbaz Sharif held a very long press conference, he failed to explain what was the purpose of his statements.
"Usually, we'd expect him to provide clarification regarding the money laundering allegations levelled against if he is holding such a lengthy press conference but he couldn't come up with a single truth.
"He continued to lie throughout the one hour and 10 minutes of the press conference instead of providing answers to the allegations cases against him because the Sharif family has become habitual to lies," Fawad said.
It should be recalled that earlier in the day, Shahbaz had held a press briefing today after a UK court ordered his and his family's bank accounts restored. The PML-N president had said that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) could not prove corruption of "even a single penny" against him and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
"Unfortunately, fake news was disseminated two days ago and all those involved in publishing the news are well-known to the public for having ties with the Sharif family."
"The headlines that were carried [by a media outlet] were part of a fake propaganda," Fawad maintained, adding that the money-laundering probe initiated against the Sharif family in London was "not started upon the request of the Pakistani government."
He said that the two-year-long probe by the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA) was launched into the accounts of a frontman named Zulfiqar Ahmed.
"The NCA had started probing the accounts of Zulfiqar Ahmed and Suleman Shahbaz. It was the agency's own decision [and had nothing to do with the Pakistani government]."
The NCA also approached Pakistan's Asset Recovery Unit (ARU) to seek the details of financial transactions and hundis. "The case was neither initiated by the Pakistani government nor mentioned anything about Shahbaz Sharif," he said.
He said that there are two ongoing "ripe" cases against Shahbaz Sharif in Pakistani courts. One of the cases was registered by NAB Lahore against Shahbaz Sharif and his family members in reference to Rs7.32 billion.
Fawad said that for the last six months, the court did not have a judge which allowed Shahbaz to hold press conferences and deliver speeches in the assembly. "It is because the proceedings of these cases are not being held on a day to day basis," he said.
Providing further details, Fawad said that there is another Rs25 billion case against Shahbaz registered by the FIA as a result of the probe carried out by the Sugar Inquiry Commission.
Fawad said that when the PTI government and Prime Minister Imran Khan talk about accountability and the looted money, they are only concerned because "this money belongs to the people of Pakistan."
"When we talk about accountability, we talk about handing over the looted money back to the people of Pakistan," said Chaudhry.

UC Berkeley Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Essays in Special Interest Politics
Author(s): Maheshri, Vikram
Advisor(s): Roland, Gerard
In the following three essays, I explore how organized political interests behave, interact with each other, and affect public policies. As special interest groups in the United States have proliferated both in number and size over the past several decades, policymakers have responded with a mixture of public consternation and private acceptance. American voters overwhelmingly disapprove of the activities of special interest groups, but observers have been unable to articulate convincingly the effects of these activities on legislative practices and social welfare. I fill in this gap.
In my first essay, I consider the effects in Congress of competition between interest groups over public policy. I model the interactions of rival interest groups and legislators as a dual form of competition over both the substance of legislation -- that is, the legislative agenda -- and legislators' votes on legislation. This is, at it's heart, a model of congressional committee behavior. The unique prediction of this model is that interest groups may intentionally spend money to have legislation introduced that is known to have no prospect of being passed. Such interest groups are motivated by the inability to shape policy in a more favorable direction and the desire to protect a sufficiently palatable status quo. This result is attractive in light of the fact that roughly 90% of legislation fails passage. I then go on to provide empirical evidence in support of this prediction using an original, large and highly detailed dataset consisting of all pieces of legislation introduced into Congress over a twenty year period. I estimate that interest groups attempt to suppress roughly 56% of legislation that is introduced in the House of Representatives and 69% of legislation that is introduced into the Senate. Furthermore, I provide evidence that groups may suppress legislation by obfuscating the linguistic content of bills.
In my second essay, I consider the effects of competition within interest groups on the direction of redistributive policies. Individuals and firms form interest groups as a means of pooling resources and overcoming free riding in order to shape favorable public policies. However, the objectives of interest groups and their constituents do not perfectly align. In particular, interest groups tend to be more farsighted than their constituents. This asymmetry of objectives generates an agency problem that may manifest itself in the persistence of inefficient public policies. That is, interest groups may be directed by their relatively shortsighted constitutents to oppose efficient policy reforms. In the long run, this agency problem is exacerbated by the responses of interest groups to free riding. I provide suggestive econometric evidence from the United States in support of this argument.
In my third essay, I consider the implications of the very function of an interest groups: providing a means to aggregate the preferences of a motivated but potentially heterogeneous constituency. I begin by noting a very strong empirical regularity in lobbying activity in the United States. In nearly every industry, the distribution of lobbying expenditures follows a power law. This regularity is not predicted by standard models of interest group behavior. Instead, I provide a heuristic explanation for the empirical finding. If interest group expenditure decisions are made in response to periodic signals and are determined by a constituency that continuously updates its preferences according to a simple heuristic, then we should expect to see the distribution of lobbying expenditures follow a power law. I provide additional simulation evidence in support of this claim.

Fiscal Cliff Wrangling Already Falls Short in the 'Compromise' Department
By Bridget Johnson 2012-11-26T19:32:53
Before legislators left Washington for Thanksgiving, congressional leaders gathered 'round the table with President Obama as an opening gesture for fiscal cliff negotiations.
Today, the civility and understanding that leaders claimed to share after emerging from that sit-down vaporized as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) declared on the floor of the upper chamber that there's only one tax-cut extension that will make it past Obama's desk: his.
Fiscal cliff negotiations -- dealing not just with the expiring Bush-era tax cuts but the looming sequestration cuts -- begin in earnest this week, and lawmakers stuffed on turkey appear ready and willing to play a game of chicken.
Ironically, Reid's speech today began by waxing about the beauty of compromise.
"We could solve the greatest economic emergency facing the nation today -- if only the House would consider the Senate-passed bill freezing tax rates for 98 percent of American families and 97 percent of small businesses," Reid said. "As Thomas Jefferson said, we should not put off for tomorrow what we can do today."
Republicans have rebuffed Obama's pre-election pleas to pass the middle-class tax cut extensions now and come back to the upper-class cuts later -- which, in congressional-speak, would mean indefinite shelving, especially in Reid's chamber.
"Our legislation would give economic certainty to the middle class, protect important tax deductions for families and businesses and restore balance by asking the most fortunate among us to pay a little extra to reduce the deficit," the majority leader continued. "It's also the only bill with a chance of being signed into law by President Obama."
"The Senate has spoken. …I only hope House Republicans have been listening."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said the lame-duck session needs to be about more than whose taxes get hiked. "We're coming to the table having put very specific ideas into the debate about how you fix the spending problem. That we have to do. Because I don't care if you raised taxes 100 percent on the wealthy, you're not gonna fix the deficit problem," he said on MSNBC today.
"We've got to have the president step up, and say, 'Here's my position on how to reform the entitlements and start managing down this debt and deficit.'"
Democrats are fixated on raising taxes on the upper-income brackets; others have expressed willingness to plunge off the fiscal cliff if the third rail of entitlements is touched. Republicans are averse to another can-kicking quick fix and are suggesting raising the marginal rate, cutting deductions, or closing loopholes as revenue-generating alternatives to raising anyone's taxes.
And like it's campaign season again, Dems are concurrently pushing the narrative that Republicans who want all tax hikes extended are against extending them for the middle class.
All told, expect the wrangling over the fiscal cliff to last at least as long as the Salvation Army bell-ringers.
Anyone in Washington for ObamaCare negotiations knows how the Senate vote in 2009 went to Christmas Eve, with a session beginning at 6 a.m. And that was for a pet project of the president's, not for a deadline facing Congress that could plunge the country into another recession if not met.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested a Christmas deadline for having an agreement on the early January cliff, which is in keeping with Congress' tradition of arriving at 11th-hour patchy solutions.
The White House even tried using Cyber Monday as a hook for its new Council of Economic Advisers report about the middle-class tax cuts' impact on consumer spending and retailers. It estimated growth of real consumer spending could be cut by 1.7 percentage points in 2013 if middle-class tax rates go up an average of $2,200 on a family of four, which would translate to consumers spending nearly $200 billion less than they otherwise would have.
Chairman Alan Krueger joined press secretary Jay Carney at the daily briefing to elaborate on the politi-report.
"I think evidence like this is one reason why retailers are so concerned that Congress has not yet extended the middle-class tax cuts," Krueger said. "The Senate passed an extension of the tax cuts, and it seems to me the thing that we can all agree on, that middle-class families should see an extension of these tax cuts, and that would help the economy in the coming year."

Middlebury tops No. 1 Bates College in NESCAC men's lacrosse semifinal
By Nathan Fournier, Staff Writer
LEWISTON — Saturday's NESCAC men's lacrosse semifinal game between Middlebury and Bates came down to faceoffs — win the faceoffs, gain possession, score and, hopefully, repeat.
Middlebury resoundingly won the faceoff battle, 23-8, and in doing so also won the battle where it mattered most — on the scoreboard.
The sixth-seeded Panthers defeated the top-ranked Bobcats 14-13 at Garcelon Field on Saturday afternoon and kept their NCAA Tourney hopes alive.
The loss was the Bobcats' first of the season. They are now 14-1, while Middlebury improves to 9-8 on the year.
Jake Madnick didn't find the score sheet for Middlebury, but his contributions were perhaps the most valuable of the afternoon. He won 20 faceoffs for the Panthers, who won 23 total in the game. For perspective, Bates won just eight in the game, and only two in the second half.
"We had great wing play all the way around," Madnick said. "Our ground balls were awesome and (Charles) Midgley played really well in net. The faceoffs were definitely huge, but we had a lot of help around that contributed to that."
Bates tried a couple different faceoff men of their own.
"We threw Jack O'Brien with a long stick out there, maybe he could cause a turnover if they won it, and he actually did the first time." Bates College coach Peter Lasagna said. "But their kid is great, their kid was fantastic and he had a great game. That's certainly a big part why they are advancing. They beat us when the ball was on the ground. Their goalie played great, they played great in every phase."
The other faceoff men for Bates were Sam Francis and Eli Cooper.
Bates edged Milddlebury in overall ground balls, 49-44.
It's the second straight year Middlebury has knocked Bates out in the NESCAC tournament. A year ago, the Panthers defeated Bates 11-10 in a quarterfinal.
"I don't think last year had to do anything to do with this," Middlebury coach Dave Campbell said. "We have have been getting better with a young team throughout. We played a lot better today then the last time we were up here."
Bates had defeated Middlebury earlier this season, 15-12.
In the first quarter, the Panthers jumped out to a 4-1 lead. Henry Riehl, AJ Kucinski, Chase Goree and Parker Lawlor scored for Middlebury. Jake Walsh was the lone goal scorer for the Bobcats early in the fist quarter.
Bates started to chip away at the lead late in the first. Burke Smith picked up the second goal, followed by a Clarke Jones strike to make it 4-3. Frank Coslito restored a two-goal lead for Middlebury before Charlie Fay notched his first goal of the game to get Bates within one again.
Kucinski scored again to give Middlebury a 6-4 lead with 5:33 remaining in the first quarter before Kyle Weber cut the deficit 6-5 at the end of the first quarter.
The game turned defensive in the second quarter — just three total goals found the twine. Henry Riehl gave the Panthers a 7-5 lead. Fay answered, which gave the Bobcats some momentum, and they started to have some extended time in the offensive zone and took a timeout with 8:26 remaining in the opening half.
The shots started to come for the Bobcats, and for the next three-plus minutes, Bates fired 12 shots, forcing Middlebury goaltender Charles Midgley to make five solid saves. None of the remaining shots found the back of the net for the Bobcats.
"It's really easy to play goalie for me when I have a great defense in front of me," Midgley said. "We did a great job communicating and competing all day. I think we are such a close group that it's real easy to play for each other and the group."
He made 19 saves on the game, while his counterpart, Rob Strain of Bates, made 12.
Fay eventually tied the game at seven before the half.
Again in the second half the Bobcats had to play catchup. Kucinski and JP Miller gave Middlebury a 9-7 lead. Jones put Bates back within one before Miller scored again to give Middlebury a 10-8 lead. Bates evened the game up at 10 as Matt Chlastawa and Fay scored late in the third.
Middlebury entered the final quarter with an 11-10 lead after Lawlor scored his second goal of the game, and it extended the lead to two again early in the fourth as Wes Quinzani notched his first of the game.
Chlastawa kept the Bobcats in it, scoring three goals in the half. Middlebury always responded, though. Matthew O'Neal scored after Chlastawa's first of the quarter and Miller responded after Chlastawa's second of the quarter to give Middlebury a 14-12 lead.
With time winding down, Chlastawa put Bates within one with 79 seconds remaining. The Bobcats had a chance to tie it in the final 30 seconds after Bates defender Fred Ulbrick created a turnover and Bates gained possession and called a timeout with 27.6 seconds on the clock.
Coming out of the timeout, though, it was Middlebury that created a turnover, and Bates couldn't put a scoring chance together in the final seconds.
"That's every position a lacrosse player dreams of," Midgley said. "Big game, one goal game, with two minutes left to play. That's everything you could ask for as a lacrosse player."
Bates' season isn't over yet. The Bobcats are almost certain to land for an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament when the field is announced on Sunday. The 34-team field begins play on Tuesday, with two play-in, first-round games to winnow the field to 32 for the second round, which begins Wednesday.
The NESCAC Championship, meanwhile, is Sunday at noon at Bates College. Middlebury will take on Wesleyan after the Cardinals defeated Tufts in the second semifinal game Saturday, 17-12.
"It's going to be tough to watch two other teams play for the NESCAC Championship on our field," Lasagna said. "Middlebury earned it, and we will find out Sunday who we are going to play (in the NCAA Tournament.)"

Based on the consensus among popular rating publications and sites, Asia is home to some of the best airports in the world. According to Skytrax, Singapore's Changi International Airport has won its 2017 rating for the best airport in the world. Changi is usually followed by the likes of Tokyo's Haneda, Hong Kong, Seoul's Incheon, and Nagoya's Chubu Centrair. While Asia has been recognized for having some of the best airports in the world, the airport experience in Asia can vary depending on where you fly to. The real situation of the aviation infrastructure is one of varying experiences, both good and bad.
From Singapore to China, construction is ongoing for new terminals and runways. Governments and airports throughout the region are currently investing on either expanding existing airports, or building new ones. One of the most well known projects is Beijing's new Daxing Airport, which when completed could become the largest and busiest airport in the world. The USD $12 billion project is scheduled to be completed by 2019, and will help ease the air traffic at Beijing's Capital Airport. Daxing Airport is just one of the many airport projects ongoing in the Chinese mainland.
In other places, we can also see ground break and the opening of new terminals. The Philippines will also see some new airport developments. Ground was broken last December for a new passenger terminal at Clark International Airport, while Mactan-Cebu Airport is looking to develop a second runway in the year 2018. Cebu will also be opening up a new terminal in the summer of 2018. Other developments can be seen in Thailand and Taiwan.
The two largest developments we will see in the coming years will be between Hong Kong and Singapore. Fresh from opening Terminal 4, Changi Airport will embark on building a new Terminal 5 and a new runway to be open by the year 2025. Not to be outdone, Hong Kong's airport authority is scrambling to keep up, with plans for its own third runway and new terminal. For many travellers, an airport could make an impression on travellers so each country is putting its own efforts for improving and upgrading their airports.
While a construction race is ongoing, many of the lingering problems still persist for travellers in the region. It could be said that the rapid construction of new aviation infrastructure projects has been struggling to keep up with the rapidly increasing demands of air travel in Asia. It is not uncommon to still hear complaints about airports in Manila, Bangkok, and Jakarta where travellers are used to the experience of lengthy flight delays due to traffic congestion. Adding new capacity in a rapid time isn't much of a viable option, as issues of the availability of land and surrounding neighborhoods come to concern. Building new airports isn't also a short task either.
While airports take time to develop, regional air traffic controllers are having a more difficult time dealing with the vast amount of flights in the region. This point has been highlighted by complaints from the Indonesian Air Traffic Controllers Association towards a move by state-run air navigation company AirNav to increase hourly takeoffs and landings at Jakarta's main airport. Indonesian officials have also come under recent fire as reports of near-collisions surfaced in 2017. With talks ongoing to increase capacity, the human toll on individuals such as pilots and air traffic controllers dealing with the delays and safety concerns may come to play in the future.
Growth is always a good thing for a businesses and economies. However, the rapid growth of Asia's aviation industry has increased the pressure and concerns the region may not be answer the question of how to handle the large volumes of flights expected while doing it safely. Aviation experts will need to address these issues which could impact the economies and lives of the 4.4 billion people living in Asia. This will be a key challenge for Asia's aviation community in the years ahead.

Schwab's Pharmacy
"Only if it turns out that reality is actually nothing more than a holographic illusion created by the interplay of subatomic particles on a vast two-dimensional membrane."
This article covers a subject that has been deemed non-canon by either the author or the Back to the Future licensees, and thus should not be taken as a part of the "real" Back to the Future universe.
Doc walks past Schwab's Pharmacy (right).
Schwab's Pharmacy was a drug store that opened in California in 1932. It closed in October 1983.
In 1943, Mrs. Gomez rented an apartment to Emmett Brown, who was a professor at the California Institute of Technology. Doc convinced Robert Millikan, the president of Caltech, to arrange an interview with Major General Leslie Groves and Vannevar Bush. They were searching for scientists to join the top secret Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb. He had a disastrous interview, and walked past Schwab's Pharmacy to try to think about how he could get a second chance. To his surprise, he was given a position on the project.
The three businesses that Doc passed (Fox Pasadena Theatre, Schwab's Pharmacy, and Reliable Radio) were actual businesses in real life California in 1943.

The identity of Theophilus is a mystery to Bible students. The name appears only two times in Scripture and both times in the writings of Luke (Luke 1:3, Acts 1:1). It is uncertain what role in the early church he played but he is noteworthy in the thinking of Luke for he directs both the Gospel account and the Acts account to Theophilus.
Various suggestions have been offered as to the identity of Theophilus. It is suggested that he is an actual person, perhaps a patron, of Luke and his work. Some have wondered if Luke was commissioned by Theophilus to prepare a record of both Jesus and the beginnings the church that bears Christ's name (Romans 16:16). Cadbury notes that Theophilus was a common name for Jews and dates to at least the third century BC. ((via Pöllmann in Balz, H. R., & Schneider, G. (1990-). Exegetical dictionary of the New Testament. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerdmans.)) So it is unlikely we can determine much from the name itself.
There was a Jewish High Priest named Theophilus who served from 37-41 AD. He was the son of Annas and the brother-in-law of Caiaphas before whom Jesus was tried. The date of service was likely completed before Luke's writings and therefore he probably should be discounted as the intended recipient.
Another High Priest named Mattathias ben Theophilus served from 65-66 AD and was overthrown in the time immediately before the destruction of Jerusalem. In his case, Theophilus is actually the name of his father, the aforementioned priest. His service also appears to come too late to have been the recipient.
Theophilus may have been a name given to the earliest believers in Jesus. The name is actually a joining of two Greek words, theos and phileo, which mean God and love respectively. Thus the combination would be Theophilus or "lover of God." If this is true it could refer to either an individual or a group of people who loved God.
This seems an unsatisfactory conclusion for such naming conventions are generally foreign to the New Testament. But perhaps even more difficult is the context of Luke 1:3 where the reference is to "most excellent Theophilus." In every other New Testament usage, the phrase, excellent or most excellent, is used toward an individual. ((Claudius Lysias to Felix (Acts 23:26, Tertullius to Felix (Acts 24:2) and Paul to Festus (Acts 26:5) )).
Bock ((Darrell L. Bock, Luke, Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament, vol. 1 (Baker Books, Grand Rapids, MI), pg. 64)) suggests that Theophilus was actually a Gentile. He reasons that his apparent high station in life and the degree to which Luke defends the Gentile mention in Acts, suggests that he was not Jewish. As with other suggestions it is little more than speculation.
In the end, almost all we can say about Theophilus is skillful speculation. But we do know that Theophilus was at least curious about Jesus and his followers. It would seem unlikely that Luke would address two manuscripts to Theophilus if there were not some interest. We may perhaps add that Theophilus was probably not hostile to the gospel message. At least for that, Theophilus could be commended.
Our conclusion? Theophilus was an individual interested in the gospel. His importance lies in the fact that he was the original recipient of two magnificent pieces of inspired literature. How poor would we be without Luke and Acts!

T-Phonic & Deadman are the most recent members to Technique Recordings' family. The signing comes after the pair's multiple contributions to the drum & bass label's compilations in 2016. The duo have a raucous past, gaining support from big name DJs like dnb legend Hype as well as making a name for themselves in a range of electronic genres.
The duo has wasted no time in proving their worth at Technique with two jaw-dropping releases, 'Scare Tactics' and 'Reflections VIP'. Both of these tracks sets the tone of T-Phonic & Deadman's hard-hitting drum & bass. 'Scare Tactics' has neurotic twists and minimal percussion that both keep you on your toes, whilst 'Reflections VIP' uses euphoric chords and vocal samples to create a perfect summertime track. This version of the track cleverly takes the same elements as the original but does something almost completely different to the ear.
Want to know more about this exciting duo, then read our exclusive interview with them, and find out more about their latest tracks.
1/ You've recently joined dnb heavyweight label Technique. How does it feel to be part of the Technique family?
All good so far! Obviously, it's a massive label with a long history of big tunes, so we're honoured to be a part of it! Simon and everyone involved has made us both feel very welcome.
2/ What do you like most about being with Technique over previous labels?
We've been impressed with how well regimented and organised everything has been. They have things running like clockwork. Social media posts, releases, artwork and promotion are all on point. We were lucky enough to DJ on BBC Radio 1 last month and the DJ bookings are starting to come now too.
3/ Can you tell us about your inspirations for your new material?
Right across the board really, we're inspired by pretty much everything from old hip hop to new electronic music, but at the moment we're quite heavily inspired by the old school rave sound, the sounds and vibe it creates is still unique.
4/ How did your partnership come about? Have you always DJ'd together?
A close mutual friend, DJ Twista, introduced me to Tim after I started doing a few drum & bass bits on the side of my usual 4/4 or breakbeat projects.
I sent Tim a late night coffee fuelled over excitable Soundcloud message and, unfortunately, the poor chap replied! (Mug!) I think the first track 'Outside World' we started is still unfinished. It'll probably be forthcoming on our next EP, forty mix downs and twenty drum changes later!
Our first release together was "Show Me the Way'. This was followed by 'Reflections' and, it's the success from that which really cemented the partnership for us.
DJ wise, we had never DJ'd together before! We like a lot of the same music so we have a lot of fun on the decks. The whole partnership is pretty new and it's been full on studio assault since we started so we can keep a constant flow of music coming.
5/ You've just released two new tracks, 'Scare Tactics' and 'Reflections VIP'. Could you tell us about the tracks and what sets them apart from other dnb artists at the moment?
I think we went to two extremes with the tracks, 'Reflections VIP' was just an anything goes rave fest, maybe a little over the top but that was half the fun of it. One minute the 808's and jungle breaks are pounding and the next you've got circa 1992 style hands it the air pianos! 'Scare Tactics' started off from a BBC Sherlock sample and ended up as a dark journey through the spirit world with reversed demon chants as backing noise…we haven't really got a particular style at the moment. We both love just getting ideas and playing around with them until it sounds half decent. Then one of us will take over until its better…and so on!

1. the act or process of dividing; the state of being divided
2. a competitive class or category
Division 73 was established as a standout, boutique talent agency in Vancouver. We proudly represent some of the best talent in the commercial, voice, and print markets across North America.
With decades of experience in the entertainment industry, we set ourselves apart by having worked in nearly every aspect of the industry ourselves. We pride ourselves on our highly personalized approach to artist representation, offering one-on-one support and guidance at every turn.
Our talent have booked commercials, print, and voice work for clients such as Subaru, Toyota, Exxon, Lululemon, Arcteryx, Bell, Rogers, Tylenol, Humira, Global TV/Corus Entertainment, and many more. Our roster is comprised of both established and developing talent, but all share the desire to stand out and be competitive in their category—the hallmarks of Division 73.
Our team is dedicated to promoting those performers who are most passionate about and committed to their acting careers. To that end, we recommend that our talent take actors' workshops and skill-specific classes on a semi-regular basis. We do not receive any incentives or kickbacks from anyone when we suggest certain classes or workshops.
We represent seasoned union and non-union actors alike, as well as "real people" (a term used by casting directors to describe anyone who doesn't fall into the stereotypical 'leading man/woman' or 'model' role). We represent athletes, models, stand-up comedians, voice actors, and spokespeople as well. We also have a very successful kids' roster.
Finally—we are committed to being the best talent agency we can be while representing the best commercial talent in Vancouver.
WHO WE ARE...NOT
We do not charge a fee to join our roster, EVER. In fact, it is illegal for any talent agency in British Columbia to charge upfront fees of any kind. We do take a 15% commission (industry standard) on our talents' gross earnings, which is how we are paid. In effect, we only get paid when we get you work. Therefore, we work very hard to submit our people for the right roles; we want our talent working as much as possible.
Although there are no upfront fees to join our roster, there are some associated costs involved in obtaining work in the acting industry, whether for commercial casting or in film & TV. These costs can include membership to various submission platforms, getting new headshots done, or taking classes and workshops, etc.
We do not take or provide headshots for our talent. However, we do recommend some really great photographers whose work we love. Our commercial and print actors are asked to have headshots taken that depict a more natural, everyday look, as opposed to something more in line with film and TV 'character' roles. For those select few who do work in more than one area, however, they would have different looks on hand to send to the different casting directors.
We do not teach or provide acting classes of any kind. As mentioned, we simply recommend certain classes or workshops taught by industry professionals with whom we've worked and whose talents we respect and admire. We do not receive any incentives or kickbacks from anyone when making such recommendations. In some cases, however, we may be eligible for a group discount on the cost of tuition if we send several people at a time to a particular workshop or class. This directly benefits our talent.
Finally, we do not make promises of any kind to our talent, except that we endeavour to work as hard as humanly possible for you, as long as you endeavour in turn to invest in your own career as long as you stay with us. There are no guarantees in this industry and we cannot promise talent they will make a certain amount of money or book a certain number of jobs. To do so would simply be irresponsible, misleading, and unethical.
To book any of our talent, please send us an email or fill out the form below and we will be in touch shortly.
