China's Shenzhou 14 is on standby to launch in case of space station emergency

China just launched what is planned to be its longest crewed mission to date, but the next spacecraft in the series is ready to blast off should the Shenzhou 13 astronauts need rescuing.
Shenzhou 13 lifted off on Oct. 15, with commander Zhai Zhigang and colleagues Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu arriving at the orbiting Tianhe module of the Tiangong space station 6.5 hours later. Back on the ground at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert, Shenzhou 14 and its Long March 2F launch vehicle are already on standby.
"The assembly and testing of Shenzhou 14 has been completed at the base, so the spacecraft is now on standby, ready for rapid launch and emergency rescue operation," Jia Shijin, chief designer of the crewed spacecraft system of China Academy of Space Technology (CAST), told CCTV.

Zhai, Wang and Ye are expected to stay aboard Tianhe, which will serve as the core of the three-module station after additional launches, for six months. During this time they will perform two to three extravehicular activities, or spacewalks, and carry out a range of scientific and technological experiments. But Shenzhou 14 will be ready to assist should an issue such as spacecraft malfunction or impact from debris or micrometeorites endanger the crew.
The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT), the developer of the Long March 2F launcher, told Chinese newspaper Global Times that, in the case of emergency, every participant required for an emergency launch should be present within 48 hours and be able to launch within nine days.
The emergency planning is reminiscent of the NASA "Launch On Need" missions planned to rescue space shuttle crews if their vehicles had suffered damage in orbit. Such standby mission preparations are now standard practice for China's space station operations. Shenzhou 13 was similarly on standby for the duration of the Shenzhou 12 mission, which ran from June to September.

Tianhe is the core module of the space station, providing living quarters for the crew and propulsion for the orbital outpost as well as a docking hub that allows multiple spacecraft to dock with it. Currently Tianhe has the Tianzhou 3 cargo spacecraft docked at its aft and Tianzhou 2 at the forward port of the docking hub. Shenzhou 13 performed China's first radial rendezvous and docking, approaching Tianhe from below with respect to the Earth.
If there are no emergencies, Shenzhou 14 will launch with its own crew after March 2022, when Shenzhou 13 returns to Earth. The Shenzhou 14 mission will oversee the arrival of two new space station modules to join Tianhe.

Nicolaus Copernicus biography: Facts & discoveries


They only have one movie on the docket this year. Marvel has 7-8.
That said. I'm going to watch.
Whenever they drop that Han Solo movie, my but will be in a seat too.
The Coen Brothers have taken on the task of recreating one of the most iconic films of all time which itself was a remake of a Howard Hughes film ... Scarface. No trailers have been released yet. This intrigues me. Ethan Coen is also directing the Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly send-up of Holmes & Watson.
- January 2nd, 2018, 9:31 pm #543792 I know it came out last year, but for those of you willing to explore your artistic side... The Greatest Showman is fantastic.
On a completely different note: Has anyone joined "MoviePass"? I just joined and will follow up if I think it worthwhile... It is supposed to grant you up to 1 "2D" ticket EVERY DAY for $9.99/mo.

- January 8th, 2018, 3:56 pm #544120 I got shot down after proposing this film by Mrs. Sly on our last date. Wow, did I lose this discussion by having to see Downsizing. I cannot begin to tell you how awful that film turned out to be.
And Haize, please hand over your man card for admitting to be excited to see an Oprah movie.

I second that. One of the most enjoyable movies I've seen all year. This will definitely go in our home collection and we've been listening to the soundtrack nonstop in our house.
Masterworx Theater in Lynchburg is doing the musical "Barnum" in March and have auditions this week.

Mrs. Cider was the same way, so I ended up seeing it solo yesterday.

As far as that air force hero train movie...I have very strong opinions on why that shouldn't be a movie but I'm trying to stay in a good mood.

- January 15th, 2018, 1:18 am #544483 I'm looking forward to A Wrinkle in Time in spite of Oprah. LOVED those books as a kid!
Ready Player 1 looks good, but I'm not sure it will measure up to the book. Not sure I'll see it in the theater, but will probably watch it at home.
And I am required to see all Marvel and DC movies, as well as all Star Wars movies, so those are all on the list.
He's currently the odds-on favorite to win, so I think it's safe to say he'll be nominated.
Ready Player 1 looks good, but I'm not sure it will measure up to the book.
Yeah, it'll be a disappointment. It would have been better suited for a Netflix limited series.
Not sure I'll see it in the theater, but will probably watch it at home.
Darkest Hour = thumbs up. Really enjoyed that one, and it was in a theater with reclining seats which made it even better.
- February 1st, 2018, 10:31 pm #545245 Don't pay much attention to movies these days, but A24 horror film Hereditary has been blowing up at the film festivals. Will go see it opening week if I can even remember it by late June.
Black Panther - Over hyped but still an awesome action movie. Killmonger was one of the best villians I've seen in a while.
Thor Ragnarok - Easily in the top three Marvel movies for me with Winter Soldier and Iron Man 2.
Infinity War - They made the villians fallible without making him weak. They gave him weaknesses without letting the heros have "Plot Armor"
The Greatest Showman - About time I got to it. It took Redbox forever to get it. One of the best visual musicals I've seen. My only issue is the songs were all clearly studio. None felt like it was live.
I think the Brian May character wasn't an accurate portrayal because he apparently was the perfect and heroic band member.
Rami Malek did a very good job as Freddie. But in the back of my mind I kept wondering hoe Sacha Cohen would have done had he stayed on the project.
Look forward to seeing it. Baron Cohen is much taller than Freddie I in real life. Years ago (2005 I think) I saw a Christian band at a music festival. The band was called Downhere and I told everyone that their lead singer sounded a lot like Freddie Mercury. Not many believed me at the time. I feel validated that years later, the lead singer of the band is featured as some of Mercury's singing voice on that film.
- November 7th, 2018, 12:59 am #562788 Really can't wait to see it. Been rewatching previews on YouTube for months.
- November 8th, 2018, 9:00 am #562843 Hunter Killer - Killer Hunter - very good.

The Walker
Izumi Suzuki
Translated by Daniel Joseph
I couldn't tell you why, but I'd been walking for ages, and I was worn out and hungry. I felt as if I'd been wandering for a hundred years, maybe even since the first days.
Then, when I was one step from oblivion, there in the middle of a field, in a place where the pale sunlight gathered and fell lightly like a scarf, I came upon a crummy little udon cart.
A girl of about fifteen, her hair parted and tied back with a rubber band, was frying up some squid tempura.
'Think I could have something to eat?' I asked weakly.
'Of course, that's what we do.'
The girl seemed tired too. She had the forlorn look of someone toiling for a crime syndicate. A picture-perfect country bumpkin.
'How much?'
'That depends. For fifteen yen, you get a quarter helping of udon. For thirty-five yen you'll get twice that, plus a squid tentacle.'
'Well, isn't that something.' I didn't have any money on me, but I was enthusiastic, nonetheless. How could I not be, with the prospect of a meal before me. 'I'll take the thirty-five-yen special then, thanks. And could you do me a favor, throw in some scallions and a little bit of chili powder?'
'Yeah, no problem.'
The scrawny girl whipped up the noodles for me with arms that were themselves like squid tentacles. I downed the whole thing in an instant, drinking every last drop of broth, then sighed.
'That was truly delicious.'
'Yeah?'
'Squid tempura udon, what a wonderful dish.'
'Yeah.'
'The thing is, though, I don't have any money.'
This time she didn't say 'yeah'. Strands of hair the color of withered grass blew into the girl's face, and her doglike eyes clouded with tears.
'Ahhh, what'll I do? If I go home like this, I'll get a tongue-lashing.'
'No one has to know,' I said.
'Uh-uh. He checks everything. Every morning he marks down exactly how many balls of udon and exactly how many tentacles I take with me. He'll beat me half to death.'
'If it's that bad, you should just run away.'
'I can't. I'm afraid of him.' At the thought of her employer, the girl's reedy body began to tremble.
'Who is this guy?'
I envisioned a man with a glass eye stalking the halls of his gloomy manor on the overgrown heaths of Wuthering Heights.
'My husband. We've got a kid too, so I can't just leave.'
'That so?' I said in my best imitation of Humphrey Bogart. 'Well then, take this. It's worth plenty more than thirty-five yen.'
I handed her a silver-plated ring set with a translucent green stone. The girl eyed the trinket dubiously, like I was trying to pull one over on her, but when she put it on, an awkward grin spread slowly across her face, like a baby's first smile. 'It's real pretty, huh?'
She let out a long sigh, then thrust the hand wearing the ring behind her back.
'You aren't going to change your mind, are you?' She glanced up at me furtively from sly, grey eyes.
'I told you, that's for you.'
'First time I ever saw something so pretty. Listen, I've gonna have to hide this. My husband'll take it from me.'
I was so tired. It was only natural – I'd been walking since before the birth of Christ, at least.
'I don't suppose there's anywhere around here I can rest.'
'Hmm. Not unless you head into town.'
'Town, huh . . . is that where you live?'
I was counting on the girl to pack up her cart and head home. The wan light of dusk had enveloped the area; it couldn't be long now. But she just stood there, gazing idly into space. The sun had long since set, and the last traces of its light were reddening the ridgeline of the mountains.
'Aren't you going to go home?'
'Someone else might come.'
'Do you get customers all the way out here? More likely to get foxes, aren't you?'
'I get customers. I mean, you're here, aren't you?' she said brusquely, then stood there in silence.
Was there anyone else left like me? Someone who walked and walked, who couldn't think of anything but walking? Someone who'd been walking since long before her own birth, who could do nothing but keep on walking.
On and on, through war after war, as people die, devote themselves to reproducing, only to die again, until the Earth turns hard and cold, and the merciless blazing sun grinds to a halt halfway across the massive dome of the heavy blue sky.
The world will cease to spin, I suppose. The sun, in its death mask, will burn away the last traces of life clinging to the surface – the lichens, insects, even the bacteria – with its tongue of flame. And the Walker, the last woman standing, will she continue her great wandering circle through the sun's mad tantrum?
'Where are you headed?' the girl asked me, with the blank look of an animal.
'. . . to find my brother.'
Why that was what came out, I couldn't say. But once I'd said it, it became a conviction. I walked in search of the brother of my blood, seeking the other half of myself.
'Aww, I'm sorry, lady. Makes my life sound pretty good. I have a nice husband, cute kid, business is good – profits never drop below 100 yen a day! – so I really can't complain.'
The girl took pity on me, which scored me a cup of hot, weak tea.
Once night was fully upon us, she packed up the cart and headed in the direction of what I assumed to be town. I walked along after her. It was that 'town' alright, the kind that everybody knows. The lamps from the bakeries and candy shops illuminated a street that seemed a little too wide.
'Uwaa!' The girl raised a happy cry and began to run, jouncing the balls of udon heaped on the cart. Two or three fell to the ground like clods of horse shit.
'You came to meet me? I'm so glad. I love you, I love you!'
The girl threw her arms around a slender youth, little more than a boy. He held the hand of a child who toddled along beside him. Outside a bar, a middle-aged man sat on a stool, smoking and taking in the scene.
'Hey, not in front of everybody . . . c'mon, save the mushy stuff for later.' In a queerly squeaky voice that had only recently changed, the boy tried to maintain some semblance of whatever passed for his dignity.
'How'd we do today?'
'Look at this.'
Even though she'd said she needed to hide it, the girl (with an innocence that I could only assume was feigned) showed off the ring I'd given her.
'What the hell is this?'
'This lady ate thirty-five-yen worth of noodles, but didn't have any money, so . . .'
And how this happened, I (once again) couldn't really say, but next thing I knew, the boy was on the ground.
I guess he pounced on me, trying to knock me down. But he was a shrimpy little fellow, and when he lunged for my waist, I lashed out in a fit of rage, kicking him in the belly with the force of my mighty thighs.
'Pay up! When you eat something, you gotta pay for it, everybody knows that.'
The boy raged at me from where he lay.
'Feh, you little runt.'
I started to leave. I had to keep walking after all.
Just then, an automobile came barreling down the road and ran over their child with decorous aplomb, as if this were the sole reason for its existence. His severed head rolled across the ground and stopped at his parents' feet.
'How lovely,' I said. The girl laughed. Everyone opened the stone voids of their mouths and laughed.

How Well Does the 'John Wick' Cast Know Keanu?
We quiz the cast of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, including Keanu Reeves himself, on how well they know Keanu's IMDb credits.
In this third installment of the adrenaline-fueled action franchise, skilled assassin John Wick (Keanu Reeves) returns with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail. After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin's guild, the High Table, John Wick is excommunicado, but the world's most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn.

In reflecting on how she prepared for her role, Halle Berry says, "I've never trained this hard. It was tough, it was amazing, and I love that my character Sofia also brings some real heart and soul to the story as someone from John Wick's past who knows the costs of doing what he does." See more »

Take You Back
Written by Frank Stallone
Pure, delirious joy in the form of yet another exhilarating thriller
15 May 2019 | by themadmovieman – See all my reviews
Following on from two deliriously entertaining, visually gorgeous and blissfully simplistic thrillers, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum keeps up the franchise's unique appeal in stunning fashion. Complete with electrifying action, beautiful cinematography, a pulsating score and a great sense of humour, the film is pretty much as purely joyful as action thrillers get, and proves two hours of brilliant entertainment.
Before I get into all of that, though, one of the greatest things about this franchise is just how simplistic it is. You may have seen John Wick and John Wick: Chapter 2, you may not have done. Going into this third film, however, it's all pretty irrelevant, and while the first two films are certainly worth your time, absolutely anybody can go and watch this movie without any prior knowledge, and simply sit back and watch the fireworks.
The plot is effectively laid out for you in the first ninety seconds of the movie. John Wick is excommunicated, and there's a $14m bounty on his head. That's it. Following that brief bit of exposition are two hours of beautifully simple yet endlessly entertaining action, and while the film does keep you engrossed with its sense of mystery and intrigue surrounding this world of allegiances and deception, it's the thrill of the chase that really matters.
In that, there's almost never a moment where storytelling takes precedence over action thrills, with the movie bursting into life by way of an exhilarating opening act. However, much like the first two films, not every moment is fighting and shootouts, with the mystery, the tension and the intrigue all playing a part as John Wick encounters numerous people from his past in all manner of different scenarios.
There are moments in its middle portion that do drag a little more than others, and where the story perhaps gets a little self-indulgent, however there's no denying just how slick and purely entertaining a thriller this is regardless.
Of course, the action itself is brilliant as well. The opening act is astonishing, filled to the brim with insane action that features seamless fight choreography, brilliant camerawork and a fantastic sense of self-awareness that allows you to laugh at the most ridiculous moments. From then on, the film continues to burst into life with mad, energetic and dazzling action sequences again and again, only furthering the sheer entertainment appeal of the whole affair.
Also, there's no getting away from just how good-looking a movie this is. The camerawork in the fight sequences is certainly excellent, but it's the film's kaleidoscopic colour pallette and slick cinematography that makes it a feast for the eyes, pulling off the style of a pure pulp thriller in brilliant fashion once again, and with a pulsating, intense score playing throughout to boot, you'll definitely be on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.
All in all, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum isn't much different from the previous two movies. It isn't the world's most intricate or intelligent thriller. However, with brilliant energy, dazzling visuals, stunning action and an invaluable sense of fun, absolutely none of that matters, and it instead proves a solidly entertaining, manic and dizzyingly joyful thriller throughout.

What is the True Cost of Uninsured Vehicles for Over 50 Drivers?
The government recently announced that police had seized their millionth car since imposing stricter rules on uninsured vehicles in 2005. However, despite the growing number of cars being removed from the road, some drivers continue to run the risk. In fact, it is estimated that one in every 25 cars on the road today is uninsured, showing that we are still some way off solving this insurance conundrum.
While some might claim it's a victimless crime, the truth is actually very different. Some estimates suggest that the average policyholder will have to pay over £30 per year to cover the cost of those who choose to flout rules (Source: Directgov).
Of course, things become even more complicated if you're involved in a collision with an uninsured vehicle. Without any legal cover, gaining compensation for your vehicle and any injuries sustained can prove to be prohibitively challenging.
Unfortunately, there isn't a great deal that insurers or policyholders can do to combat this issue. As with any form of crime, there will always be some who are prepared to take a chance. Much will depend on the ability of law enforcers to detect those who don't have a valid policy, as well as the accuracy of data.
Automatic number plate recognition has helped to revolutionise this identification process. With devices now fitted to all police cars, officers are alerted instantly when a vehicle passes them without insurance. Of course all of this costs money to develop and maintain, which is passed on to tax payers and motorists alike.
As this demonstrates, it's not just the cost of resolving claims and the direct consequences of collisions with uninsured drivers that is driving up the price of policies. All aspects of monitoring, locating, and punishing offenders needs to be paid for and unfortunately that bill is often footed by those who abide by the law. As frustrating as this may be, it's just another unfortunate by-product of a minority who choose to drive without insurance.
Of course there are sometimes legitimate reasons for this. For instance, some drivers have been lured in by companies offering dramatically reduced rates – particularly younger car owners. With huge savings on offer, it's easy to overlook the fact that the policy they offer isn't even worth the paper it's printed on. Earlier last year, it was claimed that around 20,000 may have been victims of fraudulent companies offering fake insurance documents (Source: Telegraph).
So while the driver believes that they have a valid policy, the truth is actually very different. Consequently, thousands could be on Britain's roads completely oblivious to the fact that they aren't insured. This form of scam may not be new, but it still manages to catch out unsuspecting consumers – particularly youngsters. Therefore, it is always important that you check the fine print and only ever use insurers that you know and trust.
However, for every legitimate reason, there are always going to be more excuses. Statistically, younger drivers are more likely to take a risk, with males between 17 and 29 the most common offenders. The West Midlands is also a hotspot for car insurance dodgers, with 60% of the worst 20 postcodes found in this region (Source: MIB).
The cost of policies may be used as a defence for some, but that certainly doesn't excuse risking other road users. This is particularly true of those in positions of influence or who earn significant wages. For example, footballer Nicklas Bendtner was fined £5,000 after being caught out by police (Source: Insurance Times). This kind of mindless and inexcusable action is pushing up the cost of policies for everyone. Fortunately, strict policies with regards to fining drivers and destroying uninsured vehicles are helping to make sure that people are punished accordingly.
Hopefully, as more uninsured drivers are caught and lose their vehicles, fewer will be prepared to run the gauntlet in the first place. Should this happen, the £30 that is being added to the average policy can finally be removed, making insurance more affordable to all.

David Kupferman is a nationally known lyric abstract expressionist artist with over 40 solo shows. He had two solo museum shows at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, and Danforth Museum of Art , MA. and has shown in galleries in N.Y., Boston, Chicago, L.A., Miami, London, Paris, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Naples, Santa Fe, Washington, Houston & Iowa. He is in 15 museum collections including the Naples Museum, FL; DeCordova Museum, Lincoln, MA; Davis Museum,Wellesley College: U. of New Hampshire Gallery; Cape Cod Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Art-Springfield, MA; Mullen Museum, Boston College; Boston Public Library; MassCollege of Art; and Krannert Museum, Urbana; Stamford Museum, CT; and the Boca Museum of Art, FL. He is in numerous institutions and corporations like the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston and Chicago, JP Morgan Bank, LA, Anatole Hotel, Houston, Sheraton Hotel, LA, Fidelity Investments, Boston and is the recipient of some major grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Adolph Gottlieb Foundation. He was the subject of an hour long TV documentary.
Kupferman's work combines spontaneous, gestural imagery with geometric abstract shapes of color and linear patterns that weave a tapestry of flowing images in a unique fusion of Eastern and Western styles. He paints while listening to classical Indian music, Vedic chants or some improvisational jazz which helps move the flow of energy where you can feel the rhythms, pulse and vibrating waves of sound expressed in paint. They relate particularly to Indian Ragamala paintings, Persian miniatures, Japanese and Chinese Zen screens and Western Cubism and abstract paintings. Some are more landscape-seascape oriented inspired by his summers on Cape Cod as well as the expansive Iowa skies called Light Waves and Sea Psalms with sublime atmospheric vibrations of unbounded lighted skies and eternally flowing waves that create a holistic visceral experience. His work is available in Iowa, Boston, and several other locations.


Mount Everest, also known as Chomolungma in Tibet or Sagarmatha in Nepal, is the tallest mountain in the world. Located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas, Mt Everest peaks at 8,848 meters (29,029 ft) above sea level. It was more than 60 years ago that Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first successful summiteers to reach the top of Mount Everest.
Since then, more than 4,000 people have scaled the summit, yet hundreds have perished in their attempt. The world's tallest mountain is a constant source of awe for millions of people throughout the world and rightfully so. Here are 20 mt Everest facts you probably didn't know, facts that are bound to feed your curiosity about it even further.
Because of how difficult the conditions are up there, it is extremely hard for anybody who attempts to climb it to even try and bring back their litter. You can find plenty of pictures around with how dirty the path is with oxygen bottles, climbing equipment, plastic, and even human feces. It is for this reason that the Nepalese government enforced a rule in 2008 according to which climbers have to bring 8 kilograms of waste back with then when they descent.

When Men are branded Narrow minded and Insecure ?


Let's just say there are not a lot of people I would wake up before the sun comes out to do a session for. BUT, Lauren and Kyle are just that cool. They are both so natural in front of the camera and we just had a blast! The wedding day was a perfect day. From their first look to their last, private dance, these two people were locked in on each other and so happy to be marrying each other. It was truly an honor to witness it.

The Wu-Tang Clan's "U-God" Hawkins discusses RAW
Submitted by BradJohnson on Mon, 01/22/2018 - 1:47pm
EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS welcomes Lamont "U-God" Hawkins to the store to discuss his memoir, Raw: My Journey Into the Wu-Tang, on Tuesday, March 20th at 7pm. He will be in conversation with Davey D.
The Wu-Tang Clan are considered hip-hop royalty. Remarkably, none of the founding members have told their story--until now. Here, for the first time, the quiet one speaks.
Lamont "U-God" Hawkins was born in Brownsville, New York, in 1970. Raised by a single mother and forced to reckon with the hostile conditions of project life, U-God learned from an early age how to survive. And surviving in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s was no easy task--especially as a young black boy living in some of the city's most ignored and destitute districts. But, along the way, he met and befriended those who would eventually form the Clan's core: RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, and Masta Killa. Brought up by the streets, and bonding over their love of hip-hop, they sought to pursue the impossible: music as their ticket out of the ghetto.
U-God's unforgettable first-person account of his journey, from the streets of Brooklyn to some of the biggest stages around the world, is not only thoroughly affecting, unfiltered, and explosive but also captures, in vivid detail, the making of one of the greatest acts in American music history.
Born Lamont Jody Hawkins, U-God is an American rapper and hip-hop artist and one of the founding members of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. A native New Yorker, Raw is his first book.
Davey D is a nationally recognized journalist, adjunct professor, Hip Hop historian, syndicated talk show host, radio programmer, producer, deejay, media and community activist. is the co-author of two books How to Get Stupid White Men Out of Office and BAF-Be A Father to Your Child.

After hearing on the grapevine that there was a new fiction editor at You magazine, South Africa, I trawled through some of my 1,500- and 2,000-word stories for anything suitable.
After identifying half a dozen candidates, I submitted the most promising two, had the one titled Curtains accepted within a couple of hours of submission, and sent another one in for good luck.
What was especially pleasing about the acceptance is that it Curtains is one of those stories that's been looking for a home for some time and which I've always had faith in.
It's been especially difficult to place (in my opinion) because it's humour, a genre notoriously difficult to place because of people's subjective opinions of what constitutes humour.
Anyway, for now it's a time to celebrate.

Opening in 2009, the Vancouver Convention Centre West was designed by LMN Architects in collaboration with Vancouver's Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership and DA Architects and Planners. The structure was the first convention centre to achieve Platinum under the Canada Green Building Council's (CaGBC's) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.
The $883-million, 111,483-m2 (1.2-million-sf) project was the broadcast and media centre for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Situated on the harbour, the design incorporates the natural environment with the city's downtown core.
Extensive daylighting was part of the design, with an ultra-clear glazing assembly surrounding the building. The glass envelope also allows for views of the waterfront and cityscape from many of the function rooms within the centre, and enables natural ventilation.

There is a pressing need in today's economic, political, environmental and health crises, for a new brave school of thought on managing and organizing. IAMSR is devoted to defining, encouraging and validating a workplace movement where people dare 'managing differently' by 'leading spiritually'.
We wish to challenge management as a scholarly domain and field of practice, and deepen the inner and outer sense of being and doing – in the hearts and minds of people at work as well as of the organizations they work in.
We do that by providing evidence-based know-how through three dedicated forums: the Journal of Management, Spirituality & Religion (JMSR); the same named book series (published by De Gruyter); and the IAMSR biennial international conferences and workshops, held at different venues all over the world and which are designed to act as a bridge between academics and academic informed practitioners.
IAMSR's mission is to initiate, facilitate, produce and deliver academic and evidence-based knowledge on the role and place of spirituality in today's world of work. We aim to probe deeper and wider into our know-how of managing and organising, by recourse to the wisdoms of all faiths and beliefs (including non-faiths) and by reference to organizational, managerial and related fields of knowledge and practice.
We are dedicated to working toward the development of theory and best practice, the exchange of ideas and to enable a forum for debate, through the dissemination of cutting-edge knowledge, scientifically validated.
We do that through three dedicated forums: the Journal of Management, Spirituality & Religion (JMSR); the book series on Management, Spirituality & Religion; and the IAMSR biennial international conferences and workshops, held at different venues all over the world.
JMSR – now in its 19th year – is the first port of call for academics in this fast-expanding scholarly area. JMSR serves three large communities: (1) students, scholars and practitioners of spirituality in the context of work, (2) management academics and practising managers, and (3) religious studies scholars and religious leaders within their roles as managers and organizers of people, events, institutions and places of learning. Approaching 500 articles, JMSR is the largest repository of current academic research in the field. We are supported by The Sobey School of Business at St. Mary's University, Canada which sponsors our annual best paper award; and by the Elisabeth-Bruyère School of Social Innovation and the Providence School of Transformative Leadership and Spirituality at St. Paul University, Canada, sponsors of our annual best innovative paper award.
The book-series Management, Spirituality & Religion, launched in 2020, features authored and edited books on all aspects of managing and organizing related to faith, spirituality and of related institutions.
IAMSR biennial conferences and workshops are designed to serve as a meeting place for academics engaged in the study and teaching of workplace spirituality and related religious issues; and for practitioners – management consultants, professionals and practising managers, engaged in practice relevant to spirituality and religion at the workplace. Our first conference was held in Vienna, Austria in 2010, our second conference was in Bangalore, India in 2012, the third was held in Lourdes, France in 2013, the fourth in Barcelona, Spain in 2015, and our fifth conference took place in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 2017. Our conference scheduled for 2020 has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Both our Barcelona and Fayetteville conferences were co-sponsored by the Management, Spirituality & Religion Special Interest Group of the Academy of Management.
We support the widest dissemination of evidence-based outputs in the interests of the growth, use and impact of academic knowledge.

Insofar as Spencerhill Universum sells tickets for its own or third-party events, regardless of whether the sale of the tickets is brokered for the organizer or whether Spencerhill Universum acts as a commission agent in its own name, in connection with leisure activities, there is no right of revocation under Section 312g (2) No. 9 BGB.
4.2 Right of revocation for downloading. In the case of contracts for the delivery of download products, Spencerhill Universum will inform the Buyer within the scope of the order that the contract will begin with the Buyer*s consent before the expiration of the cancellation period as soon as the Buyer begins the download, and that the Buyer*s consent will cause the right of cancellation to lapse at the beginning of the performance of the contract.
4.3 Right of cancellation for the combined purchase of goods and tickets. In the case of the purchase of goods or products other than those referred to in clauses 4.1 and 4.2 together with tickets within a single contract, so-called bundles or combined items, the right of cancellation may be exercised only uniformly. In this case, the Buyer shall have the right to cancel the entire contract.
4.4 Right of withdrawal for the purchase of goods. In case of purchase of other goods, e.g. non-ticketed merchandise products, the Buyer has the right to revoke the purchase contract with Spencerhill Universum within 14 days of receipt of the goods.
You may revoke your contractual statement in writing (e.g., letter, fax, e-mail) within 14 days without giving any reasons or, if the goods are delivered to you before the expiration of this period, also by returning the goods. The period begins upon receipt of these instructions in text form. To meet the revocation deadline, simply send the revocation or the item in a timely manner. The revocation should be sent to:
Sachsenplatz 3
01623 Lommatzsch
In case of effective revocation, the services received by both parties must be returned and any benefits received (e.g., interest) must be surrendered. If the customer is unable to return or assign the services and benefits received (e.g., benefits of use), or is only able to do so in part or in a deteriorated condition, the customer is obligated to compensate us to that extent. Compensation for deterioration of the object is due only if the deterioration is due to handling of the object beyond what is required by law.
The examination of the characteristics and mode of operation. The term "testing of the
functionality" means the testing and inspection of the respective products, as is possible and usual to do, for example, in a store.
Goods that can be sent by parcel post must be returned at our risk. The cost of return shipping is the responsibility of the customer. Items that cannot be sent by parcel post will be collected from you. Obligations to refund payments must be met within 30 days. For the customer, the period begins with the mailing of the cancellation notice or the item, for us with its receipt.
5.1 Generalities.
The purchase of a ticket entitles the holder to attend the event indicated on the ticket. After receipt, tickets should be stored in a safe place. and protect them from harmful agents such as direct sunlight, heat or moisture, as illegibility of the information on the ticket, which is important for admission control, may lead to invalidation of the ticket and thus loss of the right to admission.
5.2 Personalized tickets.
The ticket is personalized during the ordering process (even if no name is printed on it). If a contracting party has acquired from us as part of a visitation contract several visitation rights for itself and for third parties, the transfer is made by the contracting partys assignment of these visitation rights to different third parties and by the conclusion of separate visitation contracts with the persons entering, assuming all rights and obligations and only on the condition that all the requirements of Section 6.6 are met. If the tickets are personalized with a persons name, the following applies:
(a) Individual personalization. For personalized tickets, identification is mandatory at the entrance. Entry will be granted only to the person named on the ticket, provided that he or she can prove his or her identity at the entrance by means of a valid personal ID, a valid drivers license, or any other means of proof agreed upon with the Organizer. If the Organizer offers the option of personalizing tickets individually at the time of purchase, the purchaser will be invited to do so during the ordering process and is required to truthfully indicate the first and last names of the other persons to whom personalized tickets will be issued at the time of order.
(b) Buyer Personalization. When purchasing multiple Tickets that are automatically personalized in Buyers name, all Tickets will be issued in Buyers name ("Buyer Personalized Tickets"). Entry to the event upon presentation of a Buyer Personalized Ticket, which is not issued in the name of the visitor requesting entry, is only possible for the visitor in the presence of the person named on the ticket, if the visitor can prove his or her identity at the entrance by means of a valid ID, valid drivers license, or other means of proof agreed upon with the organizer. The holder of the right to participate is the buyer, but the buyer may attend the event in company, so a separate personalized ticket in the buyers name is required for each accompanying person.
(c) No obligation to verify identity. The Organizer is not required to check identity at the entrance. He/she will also be released from the obligation of performance towards the buyer if the buyer grants access to the event to another person upon presentation of the personalized ticket.
(d) Misuse of third-party data. Misuse of third party data for the purchase of personalized tickets without their stated or presumed will may result in the ticket being blocked. Further details can be found in Clause 5.
(e) Repersonalization. Repersonalization of Tickets is possible only in accordance with the Organizers terms and conditions, which will be communicated to you at the time of purchase, and only if the Buyer makes a request to Spencerhill Universe by providing the Event details, order number, order details (e.g., order date and payment method used) and the name of the original Visitor noted on the Ticket and the name of the new Visitor. With repersonalization, the person originally named loses the right to visit the event. Repersonalization can only take place up to 24 hours before the start of admission to the booked event. Further details are governed by the conditions stated at the time of purchase and the General Conditions of the Organizer.
5.3 Blocking of tickets
(a) Lost and Stolen Tickets. If Tickets are reported to Spencerhill Universum as lost or stolen, they may be blocked in accordance with the Organizers T&Cs with the consequence of
being blocked, that the right to participate in the event expires.
(b) Tickets purchased or misused. Tickets purchased in violation of clauses 5.2 (Personalized Tickets), 5.4 (Prohibition of Resale or Commercial and Professional Use) or 5.5(a) (Permitted Transfer) or (b) (Ticket Transfer) of these Spencerhill Universe T&Cs, or for which there is reasonable evidence that they are intended to be so used, may, after taking into account the interests of the purchaser, be blocked by the Organizer resulting in forfeiture of the right to admission to the Event. There is no refund of the purchase price or expenses. Spencerhill Universum is authorized to prove major damage, Buyer is authorized to prove minor damage.
5.4 No use of Tickets for commercial or business purposes; unauthorized transfer. Tickets are sold for private, non-commercial use only. Any commercial or corporate resale of Tickets is prohibited. Commercial sale of tickets is reserved exclusively for the respective organizer and ticket agencies authorized by the organizer. In particular, it is not permitted to (a) offer tickets for sale publicly by auction (e.g. (b) offer or sell tickets on Viagogo, StubHub, Ticketbande, (c) offer or give away tickets for sale at a price higher than the price paid, for which a maximum 15% surcharge is allowed to offset transaction costs, (d) sell or give away tickets to commercial resellers and/or ticket resellers, (e) use or cause tickets to be used for commercial or profit-making purposes, e.g. for lotteries, without the prior written consent of the Organizer. e.g. for raffles, promotions, marketing, giveaways or as part of an unauthorized hospitality or travel package. No tickets may be transferred without incorporating these Spencerhill Universum T&Cs. Spencerhill Universum reserves the right to block your account on the Site or Tickets in accordance with clause 6.4 or not to accept any further orders for Tickets. This applies even in cases where there is reasonable suspicion that you have used or will use automated programs to order Tickets. Without prejudice to the imposition of a contractual penalty under Clause 5.6, violation of the provisions of this paragraph will result in the loss of the right of access without compensation, i.e., the Ticket will lose its validity in this case.
5.5 Permitted Transfer.
(a) Principle. A Ticket may be transferred privately for non-commercial reasons, particularly in individual cases where the Customer is ill or otherwise unable to attend, provided that there is no case of unauthorized transfer under Clause 5.4. In this case, the Client may transfer the rights and obligations under the Visiting Agreement to a third party only if the third party enters into the Visiting Agreement in its place and assumes all rights and obligations. Such subrogation is subject to the Sellers consent, which is granted under the following conditions: (i) the subrogation is a permitted case of subrogation as described above in this clause 5.5(a), (ii) the Customer expressly advises the new Ticket Holder of the applicability and content of these GTC, and the new Ticket Holder agrees to the applicability of these GTC between it and the Seller (i.e., the Organizer or Spencerhill Universum ). Transfer of individual rights under the Visitor Agreement is excluded in the absence of any of the conditions in (i) or (ii) above.
5.6 Contractual Penalties.
In the event of a culpable violation of one or more of the provisions of Articles 5.3, 5.4 (a) or (b), the Seller shall be entitled, in addition to the other measures and sanctions possible under these General Terms and Conditions of Spencerhill Universum and any claims for damages, to impose on the respective Customer a contractual penalty to be determined by the Seller in its reasonable discretion (Section 315 BGB), the appropriateness of which may be reviewed by the competent court in the event of a dispute.
(b) Amount: the amount of the contractual penalty shall be determined in particular by the number and intensity of the violations, the type and degree of fault (wilful misconduct or negligence), the efforts and successes of the Customer or the Ticket Holder in remedying the damage, the question of whether and to what extent the Customer is a repeat offender, and, in the case of unauthorized resale of Tickets, the number of Tickets offered, sold, transferred or used, as well as any proceeds or profits generated by the resale.
6. obligations of Spencerhill Universum in connection with third-party events.
6.1 Spencerhill Universums Notice of Liability for Third Party Events. Spencerhill Universum is not responsible for the performance, changes in time and place of performance, or cancellation of any Third Party Event.
6.2 Event Information. To the extent that Spencerhill Universum merely brokers or sells Tickets on a commission basis on behalf of the Event Organizer, Spencerhill Universum has no way of fully influencing or verifying any information about the Events, including, but not limited to, the dates and venues of the Events, the artists performing, program content, allocation of price categories, or availability of seating or standing room. In this regard, Spencerhill Universum acts with due diligence within the limits of what is possible and contractually permissible vis-à-vis the Organizers. Spencerhill Universum assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such information outside its sphere of influence. This extends to the accurate compilation and timely submission of information, but not to the issuance of timely notices of cancellation by the Organizer.
6.3 Buyers obligation to verify event changes or cancellations. It is the Buyers responsibility to verify that the event will take place without changes, particularly on the day of the event, through the information issued by the Organizer itself and, for this purpose, in particular by taking into consideration the Internet offerings of the Organizer, the performing artist, as well as other generally accessible sources, including press and radio.
7 Warranty, Refund and Liability
7.1 Warranty. In case of purchase of products, Buyer shall be entitled to the warranty rights provided by law in case of defects.
7.2 Refund for Customized Tickets. If the Organizer allows the cancellation of Personalized Tickets under the Terms and Conditions of Sale, a refund will be made only if the cancellation is made at Spencerhill Universe, where it was purchased, within the cancellation period specified at the time of purchase. In all other cases of customization, there is no refund. Spencerhill Universum is authorized to prove a major loss and the Ticket Purchaser is authorized to prove a minor loss.
7.3 Changes to the content of events. The organizers may modify the program if special events or events beyond their control make it necessary. In this case, you will not be entitled to a ticket change or refund of the ticket price, provided the change is insignificant. Clause 7.4 (b) remains unaffected.
7.4 Cancellation, termination or postponement of events. (a) In the event of cancellation or postponement of events for which the Organizer is responsible, as well as in the event of other events giving rise to claims against the Organizer, the Ticket Buyers claim shall be only against the Organizer or Spencerhill Universum, to the extent that Spencerhill Universum sells tickets as a commission agent, and shall be limited to reimbursement of the face value of the ticket. Travel and lodging expenses will not be reimbursed. Clause 7.7 remains unaffected. (b) If an event is canceled, discontinued, or postponed due to a circumstance beyond the organizers control (e.g., force majeure), the visitors right to terminate the contract is excluded. In case of cancellation or termination, the organizer is obliged to recover the event to the extent and within the shortest possible and reasonable time. If the event is postponed or-in case of cancellation or termination-recovered, the tickets for the event will remain valid.
7.5 Refund on instructions from the Organizer. If Spencerhill Universum has been instructed by the respective Organizer to refund the Ticket price in its name and on its behalf in an individual case, Spencerhill Universum will make the refund on behalf of the Organizer; in this regard, Spencerhill Universum does not have its own refund rights against Spencerhill Universum to the extent that Spencerhill Universum is not the seller of the Tickets.

In such cases, liability is limited to typical and foreseeable damages.

A violation of the Rules of Conduct or unacceptable behavior that may cause disruption to the conduct of the event, damage to the venue, security equipment or stage technology, or cause significant annoyance or violation of the rights of others, entitles the organizer to expel the visitor from the venue.

Interview: Al Park of Control Risks on the use of Relativity and RelativityOne for investigations →
Appointment of new CEO at Relativity allows Andrew Sieja to go back to his roots
Posted on July 1, 2019 by Chris Dale
I was away speaking at a discovery event when the news broke that Relativity has appointed a new CEO and that Andrew Sieja is moving up to be executive chairman. Since I have no aspirations to be a first-with-the-news journalist, I can be content that others had the splash, and can look at a couple of aspects of the story which seem important to me.
The facts are set out in the Relativity press release. Mike Gamson comes to Relativity from LinkedIn where his most recent post was Senior Vice President of Global Solutions, and brings deep experience of setting up and managing products at LinkedIn, which had not defined a monetisation strategy when he joined it.
It is no small thing to step into the shoes of a company founder who brought the business from nothing to global dominance, and who has been its public face for so long.
The questions which interested me at a press call earlier this week were firstly why Mike Gamson and secondly what will Andrew Sieja do next?
One of the questions asked on the press call was about Mike Gamson's legal experience, with the implication that a company whose client base consists largely of lawyers should be led by someone with legal experience.
One possible answer to this question is that Andrew Sieja has managed to build a product used largely by lawyers for legal purposes, and with a large user base of lawyers, without himself being a lawyer. There is no obvious reason why his successor needs to have that qualification. There are plenty of lawyers to turn to if purely legal input is required, but there are not many people out there who have developed SaaS products from scratch as Mike Gamson has at LinkedIn. As he pointed out, "Andrew is still there and nothing is being taken away".
What is more interesting is Relativity's potential to move beyond the support of purely legal functions. We have already seen a broadening beyond eDiscovery, as Relativity and its partners take the technology and the skills into other areas. My recent interview published here, for example Interview: Rishi Khullar of Heretik on Heretik Forge and its use with RelativityOne is about a product built on RelativityOne by Heretik whose uses identified in the interview include contract review, M&A, regulatory response, vendor management, analysis of RFPs and RFIs, of court transcripts, of outside counsel guidelines, and of any document which has some structure. If most of these have a legal purpose, the sky is the limit once you lift your eyes above that already wide market and think about taking Relativity's technology and its skills into areas not instantly recognisable as legal.
Referring to the Heretik example, Mike Gamson said that the extensibility of SaaS was "pretty staggering" and "intellectually interesting", which implies an open-minded approach in someone charged with expanding RelativityOne's possible uses and markets. Mike Gamson's first 100 days will include asking "What do we double down on, and what do we de-prioritise?"
What of Andrew Sieja's plans? When I first met him, in 2008, Andrew Sieja was in the UK to give hands-on training and implementation. That and the technology itself were his first loves, things which must inevitably give way to managerial responsibilities as a company grows. I asked him what he intended to do once Mike Gamson's first 100 days were over. A little time off, he sensibly said, then getting involved in the technology, from "small and tactical" things through to broader platform considerations. He would, he said, get involved in new markets, like Relativity's Trace product – compliance and surveillance are among the broad areas which Relativity has identified for future growth.
Andrew Sieja will, in other words, be free to get back to his first loves, the things he really likes doing, confident that the company is in good hands.
That first 100 days takes us pretty well to Relativity Fest in Chicago, which opens on 20 October, and which will be Mike Gamson's debut on the big Relativity stage. I look forward to being there and hearing what his plans are.

You've just trudged through a foot of snow to get to the train so you can head to work. But the blizzard is far from over. Nick Colvin captured this awesome slow-mo footage of a commuter train covering passengers with a deluge of the white stuff as it pulls into the station.


Everyone who has ever awakened from a nightmare– or enjoyed a dream vision of delight– knows that the images in dreams are emotionally powerful. In our dreams we are all great poets, conjuring up images of great emotional depth. Naturally, our great poets have also contemplated the power of images in their work. The English Romantics, Wordsworth and Coleridge in particular, focused on the power of contemplating images from waking life– images that Wordsworth called "spots of time." Sometimes they were emotionally positive (a "host of daffodils"), sometimes hauntingly frightening (the sight of a drowned man's face pulled from the water). Either way, such images can be "restorative", i.e., they have healing properties. The same is true of the images in our dreams. We will explore how such images work to restore the impaired imagination and bring us into a sacred encounter in our dreams.

A Cinema Powers Up
The Loft Cinema is much more than just an independent movie theater. As a mission-driven, membership-supported nonprofit arts organization, it also serves as a community hub for the greater Tucson area.
Building community through film is the heart of the Loft's mission, so when they began exploring the possibility of installing EV chargers, it was a natural outgrowth of their service to the community. Providing chargers also made sense for a movie theater, whose customers tend to park for upward of two hours at a time.
The pandemic played a part as well. Like many other organizations, The Loft Cinema had to close its doors for a time. As they regrouped, the team found themselves searching for ways to stay engaged with the public and develop new offerings.
EV Charging Within Reach
Initially, the expense of installation seemed daunting—until they discovered Tucson Electric Power's Smart EV Charging Program.
"We saw the local advertising for TEP subsidies for EV chargers, so we reached out to see if The Loft Cinema could qualify," said David Correa, purchasing specialist for the Loft.
TEP offers incentives and technical support to a variety of businesses, multi-family complexes, nonprofit customers, and more who would like to purchase and install EV charging ports at their locations.
"When we started exploring the possibility of the EV chargers, the goal was to offer a public service to the community, but we were struggling like everyone else. The subsidies were the thing that made it worth considering."
Project cost savings
Dual-port
L2 charger
Miles per hour charged for a plugged-in car
After a site assessment to determine the best options for the theater's parking lot, the team was happy to discover that as a nonprofit and with the help of those incentives, they could offset their project costs by more than 80 percent.
As a bonus, by broadening access to charging stations, the Loft Cinema is also helping to develop sustainable EV infrastructure for their community.
"The chargers are up and running now," says Correa, "and we see the benefit firsthand when customers thank us for installing them."
