Amid Sardar Udham Oscar row, Shoojit Sircar says 'Did not want to make a revenge story'
"Sardar Udham", based on the life of the titular revolutionary who later assassinated the then former Punjab governor Michael O'Dwyer in London, has been garnering critical acclaim from critics and viewers alike since its release on Prime Video earlier this month.

Shoojit says 'Did not want to make a revenge story'
Director Shoojit Sircar says it is "overwhelming" to see viewers connect with the ideas of equality and unity presented in his film "Sardar Udham", a period drama that takes audiences back to the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre through the eyes of Udham Singh. As someone who has always looked up to freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and his writings, the filmmaker said he did not want to make the Vicky Kaushal-starrer into a revenge story and instead wanted to delve deep into what motivated him and other young revolutionaries to take the path they eventually did.
"I wanted to say that it's not just a revenge story. Udham Singh was not in London just for revenge. He assassinated O'Dwyer (in 1940) maybe because he did not have any other option, that's what I felt," Sircar said.
"The line (between a terrorist and a revolutionary) is very thin. For them (the British), he was possibly a criminal or a terrorist, but for us, he was revolutionary. So I left that judgment for people to make on their own," he added.
Known for films such as "Vicky Donor", "Piku", "October" and "Gulabo Sitabo", Sircar said the team went through extensive research to craft some of the key moments in the film, which has been praised for its restrained portrayal.
"The kind of reactions and connections the film lovers are able to make is overwhelming. It's more satisfying that the film is connecting with people.
If this film can unite a lot of people to think similarly, I think that's the most important thing. that there are many people who think like that," Sircar told PTI in an interview.
The director said the sequence where both Bhagat Singh, played by Amol Parashar, and Kaushal's Udham Singh discuss their ideas about freedom, equality, and revolution was instrumental to the film.
"So the argument that 'What were you doing when you were 23?' and that 'youth is a gift of God', it is universal, and not just limited to our freedom struggle or something which is in the present context. This was a very important and relatable fact, which is what connected me to the story as a human being: 'What are your expressions? Are you thinking right or not?' "All these factors and especially the talk about equality that this film actually proposes.
We still are not equal and we are much more divided now. I'm not talking about just money or economics. I'm saying otherwise also, there are many things which are dividing. And now also, we can relate to it," he said, adding that Udham Singh identifying himself as 'Ram Mohammad Singh Azad' to the British was the revolutionary's way of talking about India's 'unity in diversity'.
Sircar has often spoken about how he waited for almost two decades to make the film on Udham Singh but he revealed he wanted to make his directorial debut with a movie on Bhagat Singh.
"I have been a huge follower of Bhagat Singh's work and life. I was a Bhagat Singh fanboy when I was in college," the director, who went to Delhi's Shaheed Bhagat Singh College for higher studies, said.
"The first film that I wanted to make was Bhagat Singh but at that time, there was a surge of films on him. So I took a step back because my Bhagat Singh was a normal romantic guy like the one in this film. Of course, he was far ahead of his time."
Talking about his trips to Amritsar's Jallianwala Bagh, the filmmaker said in the film, he tried to capture the feeling the historical site evokes in him.
The film's back-and-forth screenplay structure was also informed by the way Sircar discovered Udham Singh, first reading about his assassination of O'Dwyer, the Punjab governor who condoned Brigadier-General Dyer's action of firing on peaceful protesters in the Jallianwala Bagh on the fateful day of April 13, 1919 that killed hundreds of people, including children and women.
The director said he did not want to create the massacre scene in a Mumbai studio and found a place similar to the Jallianwala Bagh to shoot the sequence.
"The most difficult decision was to keep the continuity for that aftermath of the massacre sequence because it kept on happening the entire night but we shot for some 18-19 days for that particular sequence.
"To keep it absolutely organic in terms of the survivors' statement, which are all there in the archives. We wanted the sequence just the way it is mentioned in those accounts. That was a big task for us."
Another creative decision that the director took was to keep the Jallianwala Bagh sequence in the end and showcase O'Dwyer's assassination in the beginning.
"The film does not spell out everything completely. I've left it to people to contemplate it themselves," he said.
Asked about the delicate balance of making a patriotic film without overstating facts or dialogues as is the norm in many Bollywood movies today, Sircar said he is someone who finds beauty in the ordinary.
"When 'October' was released, many found the story to be slow but for me, that was the most fascinating thing. I have lived that life in a hospital. So I know how you spend time with a coma patient.
"For me, it's actually more poetic than just being slow and boring. It's the same thing here. I think there is a sense of beauty in being ordinary, and there is a sense of mysticism."

Our school is full of a great set of teachers and admins. Although there is so many staff here at Sierra, we'd like to acknowledge our ladies in the counseling center. The counselors are Mrs. Little 12th, Ms. Braun 11th, Mrs. Davis 10th and Ms. Sholts 9th. In addition to, our registrar Ms. Cantrell and our new counseling Secretary Mrs. Goytía. They do everything they possibly can to make the year go smoothly.
After talking with your counselor and our secretaries, you may not know exactly what they have to do or go through every day. After asking each counselor how many kids they see on a daily (excluding those who stop them in the hall and at lunch); of course, for each counselor it is different, but Mrs. Little said, "On average I see at least 20. Sometimes more, sometimes less". I also asked them what about being a counselor they enjoyed the most, Mrs. Davis said, "My favorite part is making a difference. Being that person in a student's life that helps them recognize their potential". But don't think it's all peaches and cream being a counselor . Being in their position may seem easy but in reality, it takes lots of time, work and effort. What really is the most important part of being a counselor? Ms. Sholts answered, "Following through with your word when you are trying to keep students safe". Trust me when I tell you that our classes and homework is not as much or as hard as what these ladies handle on a daily, every year. I asked them what the most challenging or difficult thing was about being a counselor, Ms. Braun replied "Balancing everything I need to get done. All billion things", Mrs. Goytía said, "The most important thing right now is communication with the students.", "Helping families and students every day".
Our ladies in counseling don't often get recognized, but they are a very important part of our school. They are all excited for this school year and can't wait to get to know each and every student!

Tom Gets Institute of Engineers Scholarship
All, News, Science, Design Technology, Curriculum, Maths / By CHS
A former student from Crompton House School has been recognised as an engineering rising star and awarded with a Diamond Jubilee Scholarship
The Institution of Engineering and Technology's Diamond Jubilee Scholarships offer
long-term financial support to 102 students
Tom Upton, a former student from Crompton House School, has celebrated his success at receiving the Diamond Jubilee Scholarship from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). He is just a few of the elite set of engineering students who have been awarded the prestigious award as the IET and its partners invest £3million in the UK's up and coming engineering talent over the next five years to tackle the lack of engineers. The IET Diamond Jubilee Scholarship scheme is now in its third year. The scholarships will provide each winner with at least £1,000 per academic year. Winners also benefit from mentoring and work experience placements through the IET's extensive networks, in an attempt to close the ever growing skills gap which has increased for the ninth year running*.
Tom Upton says "I am really enjoying studying engineering at Churchill, Colege, Cambridge. Since before primary school I have wanted to know how things work from bicycles to Formula 1 cars. At Crompton House I loved my Maths and science lessons, the teachers were brilliant and they helped me achieve four A* grades. My tutor, Mr Douglas urged me to apply for the IET Diamond Scholarship and with the help of Mr Douglas and Paul Needham, one of the schools governors who works at British Aerospace, I was successful. This award gives me a boost financially and contact wise to ensure I achieve my ambition to become an engineer.In February I attended the certificate evening for all the IET Diamond Scholars at Savoy Place, London, at it I met people from major companies and was presented with my certificate. "
This year, 102 scholarships have been awarded to students who started either a Masters or an Undergraduate engineering degree at a UK based university in the autumn of 2015, and 29% these have been awarded to female candidates.
Naomi Climer, IET President, commented: "Research from the IET this year to launch its Engineer a Better World campaign highlighted some of the barriers facing the industry in its attempt to encourage and eventually recruit talented young people – particularly girls and women. In order to ensure we have the workforce that is able to meet the challenges of tomorrow, we need to do everything we can now to attract young people to our industry.
"With this in mind, we are really pleased to give financial help to the 102 young people as a result of our prestigious Diamond Jubilee scholarships. We hope that they will go on to become the leaders of tomorrow in an industry which offers a diverse range of exciting opportunities and challenges."
The investment is being made in collaboration with the Belling Charitable Settlement, the ERA Foundation, The Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, Siemmens, BAE Systems and BT.
The IET Diamond Jubilee Scholarship programme is open to all UK students hoping to achieve 3 'A's at A Level, 3 'A' grade Advanced Highers, 5 'A' grade Highers or an International Baccalaureate Diploma at 36 points or above and who are applying to join an IET accredited engineering or technology degree course. Those who are selected receive at least £1,000 per year during their studies.
Prospective students who are wishing to apply for a Diamond Jubilee Scholarship can apply online soon. See www.theiet.org/diamond.


I was lucky enough to be part of starting up the Scottish Queer International Film Festival (SQIFF) with our first festival taking place in Glasgow on 24 – 27 September 2015, with our awesome leader Helen Wright (Shhhhhhh! We're not allowed to say 'leader'). It was an immense weekend of films, panels, workshops and partying. It was so inspiring and I met some amazing people and we've had some great feedback.
I created the key image for the brochure, with a great job of lay out by Susie McConnell over at Firebrat Studio.

Personally, seedfolks was very boring to me. I get how it was meant to be inspiring or whatever, but the characters had no real descriptions and all the chapters ended up in the same place: the person going to the garden. I don't know, some people like these kinds of books but it was just pointless to me.
Seedfolks is a great book with a great moral; however, the beginning became somewhat confusing as new characters came along. I guess it isn't one of my favorites because of the lack of descriptions of characters. The author gave one's heritage, but not much of a description. Yes, it did include illustrations, but it was only of their heads. Overall, I'd give this book a rating of................6.7.

The well-wired Asian nation's culture and technology was heavily on patriotic display tonight in NBC's coverage of the Closing Ceremony of the XXIII Winter Games. However, it was the music of South Korea that really owned the beat and heart of the tape-delayed event and almost turned the Olympics into the best Grammys show you've probably never seen…even as politics crept in.
"This is for all my bad girls around the world," declared singer CL as the Closing Ceremony got a whole new kind of bounce with her single "The Baddest Female" and some K-Pop gold medal moves. "Let's light it up and burn like we don't care," the 2NE1 alum and gold medalist Chloe Kim favorite proclaimed as the packed Olympic Stadium of 35,000 got on its feet fast.
Offering a "reason to smile" and "hope in humanity" out of the Olympics, primetime host Mike Tirico eventually summed up the XXIII Winter Games tonight in pedantic geopolitical terms but that all took a backseat to pop overtly on Sunday.
Still, amidst commentary from NBC's latest team of Tara Lipinski, Johnny Weir, and Terry Gannon, digital Pandas and 2022 hosts Beijing gave their greetings, giving an indication that the Asian Century is fully upon us as the Olympics were handed over to China yet again. As that occurred, the Comcast-owned network managed to avoid any major pratfalls in the booth but also much excitement in the end.
The same could not be said on the floor of the Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium — and I'm not talking about the parade of some of the more than 2,900 participating athletes from around the world taking selfies. "She is ferocious," said Weir of CL in one of his only true exuberant moments this evening.
Certainly looser than now primetime frontman Tirico, Mary Carillo, and Ryan Seacrest back in 2016 at Rio and distinctly more determined than Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth, and Vladimir Pozner's job closing out Sochi 2014, tonight's trio mainly dumped the sass of their skating coverage of this year's Olympic and doubled down on the stats – to mixed results.
Having first been grouped together as the figure skating team for NBC back in 2014 and proved sparkly television gold for the often staid net, Lipinski, Golf Channel regular Gannon and 2010 Olympics vet Weir took on even more of the spotlight this year.
Of course, the spectacle is nothing new to any of the NBC's hosts this year, especially Lipinski, who served as a judge for the then Donald Trump-owned Miss Universe contest in 2013 in Moscow. Yet, for all that party talk, the fact is the truest statement of the NBC trio literally and figuratively was uttered by Gannon about halfway through tonight. As he and the others were delivering trivia and scripted factoids, Gannon deadpanned, "as they look ahead to the next generation we look ahead to the next commercial." In one swoop revealing the bill-paying truth that has annoyed many an American viewer during these Games and keeping the shindig on network schedule on Sunday.
An annoyance that even with record streaming stats and claims of profitability, has hit NBC hard.
The final numbers aren't in yet but this Olympics that looks certain to be the lowest-rated ever. Not served well by the time zone difference in what is the first of three Asia-based Olympics in a row, that low is in no small part due to seismic shifts in consumer habits. It also suffered from an overall lack of excitement around the much-hyped games punctuated by the fact that the NHL snubbed South Korea this time around with none of the pros participating in the usually well-watched hockey.
From NBC's POV the PyeongChang games were full of weather issues and delays, the heights of Chloe Kim and Shaun White, new heroes, and cross-country skiing surprises. On a peninsula in the middle of battleline tensions with North Korea, there were also odd VIP seating plans, the shattering of Canada's 20-year hold on Women's Hockey SNL's Leslie Jones, missed opportunities and ultimately a fourth-place perch for Team USA with 23 medals total and 9 golds.
That's a sweetness that First Daughter and Closing Ceremony attendee Ivanka Trump echoed in a sit-down with NBC News before the big event.
But not as cool as K-Pop, follow that Beijing …NBC really hopes you can top it.

Between late 1938 and August 1939, eight children's transports left Prague, bringing 669 children to Great Britain to escape the Holocaust. This rescue mission has been increasingly discussed on both popular and scholarly platforms in recent years. The commemoration of Sir Nicholas Winton, who has been credited with single-handedly organizing this rescue, has been promoted by the now-adult children themselves and enthusiastically supported by the British and Czech governments, even though this operation was not, in fact, led by Winton alone but was part of a much larger voluntary sector project to support refugees fleeing fascism. This article outlines the intricate and, at times, fraught organization of the child migration and questions the historical implications of venerating humanitarian actors.

MARVIN SORDELL WINS AUGUST GOAL OF THE MONTH
Sign in to iFollow Brewers
Ash Willis
MARVIN Sordell has picked up Burton Albion's goal of the month award for August after receiving over 40% of the overall votes.
The 26-year-old put the Brewers level against Birmingham City on Friday 28 August in front of the Sky cameras - his first goal of the season.
An extract from the official Burton Albion match report read: "Albion's early pressure was rewarded on 50 minutes as SORDELL struck to level things up. The former Coventry man span superbly onto Luke Murphy's pass to open up a shooting opportunity on the edge of the box and his angled effort unerringly found the bottom corner."
The Brewers scored nine goal in all competitions during August, with five of those comping in the Carabao Cup.

Where to Get Free Movie Rentals
Most public libraries offer free movie rentals.
Deborah O'Brien
by Erin Huffstetler
Going to the movie theater to see a new release can be fun, but it can be prohibitively expensive. Instead, many people enjoy films at home, on their couches with their popcorn or snacks. However, watching a movie from an on-demand service can be as much as $20 and still hurts the budget.
There are many ways to avoid paying high fees, either in rental costs or cable subscriptions, to get free movie rentals. Check out these six resources for rentals and streaming services.
RedBox is a great source for cheap rentals; most films are available for about $1 a day, but it can also be a great source for free rentals. Sign up to receive emails, and you'll get a free rental code on the spot, as well as additional rental codes tucked into the newsletter from time to time. If you rent movies from them regularly, you may also qualify for customer discounts.
If you have not been to the library lately, you may be surprised to find out that it is a great resource for free entertainment. Many libraries have thousands of movies in-stock, available for you to rent for free. From new releases to classic dramas, there are hundreds of options for you to enjoy with just a library card.
Hulu is a paid service, but they do offer a 30-day free trial where you can try out the service and see if it's for you. Since Hulu tends to carry older movies, such as blockbusters from the '90s, you may enjoy it for a few weeks but ultimately decide it's not for you.
If you have a laptop, tablet or a television that can connect to the internet, YouTube can be a great resource for free movies. While some movies are removed due to copyright issues, many older films are available, particularly those in the public domain. Just type in the name of a film you want to watch and "full movie."
While some films will be poor quality, many will be crystal clear and in high-definition. If you have a fast internet connection and a good laptop or television screen, the appearance can be excellent.
Amazon Prime has many new releases and blockbuster films. They offer a 30-day trial so you can test out their services. During that time, you can watch as many movies as you want. After the 30 days are up, it costs $99 a year to sign up.
It's important to note that, besides movies, you can get many other perks with an Amazon Prime membership. Other features include free shipping on many items, cloud storage for your documents and photos and free eBooks.
Netflix has a wealth of content, including the latest movies, classic films and television shows. With new content added every month, there is always something new to watch, from cult favorites to original programming. They offer a 30-day free trial, where you can watch as many shows and movies as you like. Afterward, you can get a subscription for less than $10 a month.

60% of the planet's wild coffee species face extinction. What that means for your morning caffeine kick.
"If you don't have those wild species protected, you have probably crippled your ability to address the problem."

> Science > Climate Change
A triple whammy of disease, climate change, and deforestation has threatened around 60 percent of the planet's wild coffee species. While this hasn't yet imperiled the world's coffee supply, it jeopardizes your favorite coffee's resiliency in the face of profound planetary change.
In new research published(Opens in a new window) Wednesday in Science Advances, botanists and plant researchers determined that 75 of 124 wild coffee species are now threatened with extinction, based upon widely-used International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) criteria. For the coffee drinker, this matters: Experts emphasize that wild species hold the key to maintaining a healthy, vibrant, and flavorful coffee supply.
"The coffee we drink today exists because of access to wild species," Aaron Davis, the senior research leader for Plant Resources at The Royal Botanical Gardens Kew and lead author of the study, said in an interview.
One of the two most popular coffee species that everyone drinks today, robusta, was barely even known until the early 1900s. It was just a wild species, growing in remote forests.
"It went from being almost unknown to being a major global commodity -- that's amazing," said Davis.

Like most every food commodity, coffee today is grown on farms. But its wild predecessors exist in specific regions, like Ethiopia and Sudan. And these regions are being hit hard.
In 2012, Davis and other coffee researchers visited south Sudan, the only place outside of Ethiopia that hosts the wild species of Arabica, which accounts for 60 to 70 percent of the world's coffee. Seventy years previous, coffee collectors had journeyed to this Sudanese land. They wrote that it teemed with wild coffee plants.
But things have changed.

"It was dry as a bone -- the landscape completely changed over 70 years," Hanna Neuschwander, the director of communications for World Coffee Research, an industry-funded agricultural organization for coffee, said in an interview.
There were few older plants and young seedlings there, said Davis, who noted the area has also been hit with deforestation.
"It's under huge pressure," he said. "If that [deforestation] carries on for another 10 years, there will be nothing left."
Losing these wild plant species -- some of which haven't been seen in 100 years -- wipes out a valuable gene pool that can be used to create coffee breeds with the ability to fend off the warming climate and the spreading of disease, which is already an established threat(Opens in a new window).

"The coffee industry is invariably going to face challenges that we're aware of, and potentially challenges that we don't know exist yet," said Neuschwander. "If you don't have those wild species protected, you have probably crippled your ability to address the problem -- because you just don't have the genetic toolkit."
Similar to many crops, like the essential ingredients in beer, the farmed coffee today is especially vulnerable to two of the most-well predicted and currently-unfolding consequences of climate change, increased heat and drought.
"Increasing greenhouse gases are warming the planet and changing patterns of extreme heat and drought," Nathan Mueller, an assistant professor of earth system science at the University of California, Irvine who researches global food security, said over email.
"As farmers are increasingly exposed to new climate conditions and changing pest pressures, the genetic diversity of wild crop relatives may be essential to breeding new coffee varieties that can withstand these pressures," Mueller, who was not involved with the study, added.
Both Arabica and robusta -- which comprise nearly all the world's store-bought coffee -- don't tolerate low moisture or drought. And Arabica doesn't do well in hotter than normal temperatures, noted Davis.
Due to climate change, previous research found that wild Arabica may go extinct in around 60 years(Opens in a new window).
"It's a longer term threat -- but its shorter term than some people might imagine," said Neuschwander. "It sounds far away, but that's in my lifetime," she added.

A critical conservation solution, though, would be to preserve the wild coffee seeds (and genes) in seed banks or collections. The researchers found that around 55 percent of wild species are preserved in gene banks. But but that doesn't yet provide relief, simply because these few seed banks aren't yet reliable, complete, or well-funded.
"Some of them literally just have handwritten notes on paper about the varieties they have in their collection," said Neuschwander.
The massive coffee industry knows it must address the problem,(Opens in a new window) which could cost over $20 million dollars, she noted.
But such is the reality in a coffee world threatened by disease, pestilence, and accelerating climate change.
"There's a growing awareness that this industry's success — which is worth billions of dollars — is contingent on the health of the plant," said Neuschwander.
Ever wonder how the universe might end?

Officials Selection Committee meets to select the team for rugby's showcase event.
Selections have been made for the tier one hosted tests that will feature the revised Television Match Official trial, the all-important Rugby World Cup 2019 repechage in Marseille that will confirm the 20th and final team, and key World Rugby-supported fixtures within an unprecedented programme of November fixtures.
Brendon Pickerill (NZR) will get a busy programme underway on 26 October when he takes charge of Japan's match against a World XV in Hanazono, while Wayne Barnes will referee Ireland versus New Zealand in Dublin on 17 November – a match that sees the current top two ranked teams go head to head.
Other highlights include Karl Dickson (RFU) making his senior international debut when he referees Georgia versus Samoa in Tbilisi, while experienced referees Wayne Barnes (RFU), Pascal Gauzere (FFR), Jaco Peyper (SARU), Angus Gardner (Rugby Australia), Romain Poite (FFR) and Luke Pearce (RFU) will take charge of the Rugby World Cup 2019 repechage matches in Marseille.
On the road to Rugby World Cup 2019, the match officials will gather in London for a preparation camp prior to the November tests. World Rugby hosts two main camps a year where the officials can align and calibrate approach as a group and also with team coaches.
World Rugby Match Officials Selection Committee Chair Anthony Buchanan said: "There is less than a year to go until Rugby World Cup and, like the teams, we are a focused on arriving at Japan 2019 with a team of match officials who are in the form of their lives from a performance, fitness and mindset perspective.
"We have a very talented group to choose from. They work exceptionally well together behind the scenes to strive for the collective goal of clear, accurate and consistent decision-making, and that has been very evident both in the camps that we have hosted and recent performances on the field.
World Rugby High Performance 15s Match Officials Manager Alain Rolland added: "The match official appointment process identifies and rewards the top performing match officials and all performances are thoroughly reviewed to ensure clear and consistent decision-making across the group.
"As a part of the process, we also hold regular consultation with team coaches, including participation in our preparation camps where we achieve alignment on focus areas. This approach is valued by both the match officials and coaches alike."
A revised TMO protocol trial will operate during the tier one union hosted test matches in November with the ambition of lessening time impact and placing greater decision-making responsibility on the referee and assistant referee team, while supporting accuracy of decisions.

ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove Review
Dustin Spencer March 1, 2019
ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove
Developer: HumaNature Studios
Publisher: HumaNature Studios
Platform: Playstation 4 (Reviewed) Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC
Price: $19.99 USD – Available Here
Nearly thirty years ago, two funky aliens crash-landed on Earth for one of console gaming's greatest adventures. ToeJam and Earl broke new ground on the Sega Genesis, eventually branching out with two sequels and a legacy as one (or two in this case) of the first mascots outside of Sonic to garner notoriety on the platform. All of this time later, we still remember – and thankfully a giving creator and the power of crowdfunding has brought about a revival with ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove. Featuring excessive fan service, new playable characters, and a new take on an old jam, can this foreign body sprout new legs? Let's find out.
Back in the Groove throws us in a ship with Toejam, Earl, Lawanda, and Latisha (both of the latter are from sequels, if you're unfamiliar) as they decide to make another pit-stop by earth and jam out. Of course after making a critical mistake, this plan backfires with all four being sucked into a black hole, absorbing Earth in the process. It is up to our cast of characters to traverse a new chaos, while picking up pieces of their ship so they can yet again return home safely.
I love some ToeJam and Earl, as for myself, it was my own version of Mario or Sonic. These two had a huge impact my start with a controller, and I found Back in the Groove to be filled with everything I could have ever wished for as a fan. Nearly every Earthling re-appears in one form or another, and the same nostalgic atmosphere feels the same, despite a change in art direction. I have also had time to introduce others who had never heard of these two rad aliens before, and thus far, it seems the charm has aged gracefully into a new generation.
If you have ever played ToeJam and Earl, the concept has basically not changed since the original. Players pick an alien (six variants available from the start), and comb over one piece of the Earth at a time, where progression comes in the form of elevators that must be discovered by exploration. Each stage is loaded with presents, which come in the form of oddball hazards and weaponry to either assist or add greater to your journey in finding every ship piece. Humans (or stereotyped forms of humans that take a poke at our own culture) act as the enemy, each acting as annoyances that can make you fall off the stage or die if you happen to get their attention.
In rogue-like form, the player must safely obtain all of the scattered goods to rebuild the ship, one stage at a time. Back in the Groove does not forget where it came from, as it utilizes small features found in both the second and third game to add a little bit of extra flavor. For instance, the parking meters are back, where players can pop a coin in and hit each new meter or button that pops up to find a secret. Players can also work for cash by visiting Earthlings or by finding a hologram of a Funkotron resident, who will take you through a rhythm-action mini-game for some cash.
The game has also refined its leveling system, where players now get instant perks each time they level up. Sure, it could probably go a little further in this area, but for a rather short session overall – most will be fine receiving what is at times a life-saver of a perk like and extra life or a new present. This is a game that is an awesome single player experience, but like the original, begs to be played with friends. Whether it be online or split-screen, the world just feels a little more exciting to explore with someone else as it is designed for more than one to split up, and then reconnect when trouble arises. Be it a test of friendship or trust, ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove is meant to be played with friends, but is still a satisfying challenge for the solo gamers out there.
When I first started playing the game, I will admit, I was taken back a bit. I was playing with a friend on split-screen and the visuals just seemed so different, as if the paper-doll like models did not animate as fluidly as I would have liked. I loved the game, but felt that animation was just a bit lacking. This feeling mostly faded as you do get used to it, as the quirky style is forgivable and easily fitting for our long forgotten protagonist. Sure, things may seem a bit different, but once that screen splits or a path churns ahead, you will feel right at home.
The soundtrack for Back in the Groove is funky. A celebration of remixed from tunes new and old pound throughout your progression, and are an absolute delight as this journey gets a little hectic in the later portion. The voice cast are also on point, bringing us voices yet again for most of the roster. I want to say that TJ & E are voiced by the same duo from the Xbox version (and I may be wrong on that), but either way, the work is well done and add a nice layer to two already superb characters. Humans also have voices and personalities, which are all meant to keep you on edge. It is a scary feeling hearing the sound of a lawnmower or the hum of a angel baby with bad intentions, but those are simply more reasons to love just how well built this title is.
ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove is a jamtastic sequel that more than lives up to the original. It's rare that we see so much care and love put into letting players recapture their feelings from years ago, but HumaNature Studios hit all the right notes to orchestrate a fine production that is easily worth its price-tag. Whether you are new to the relaunch or already humming that theme tune as you read these words, this is one joint you should slam into your deck and unleash the funk.
ToeJam, Earl, and the rest of the gang come back to Earth with style.

Comedians of Social Media: Young-Joc Is One
by Elle Tenille Maryland Institute College of Art Sep 1, 2016
This past week well-known hip-hop artist "Yung Joc" took over social media revealing his new look. The rapper posted a picture on Instagram with what seem to resemble a woman's hair cut with a textured perm and was extremely proud and excited about it. If he only knew that his fans would not only hate it but crash the internet with tons of "memes" and video blogs, rants, and chats.
Artist "Yung Joc" is known for his frequent appearances on the VH1 hit show "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" as he vocalizes his troubles with the ladies. However, before the reality show "Joc" had a very successful career in the early 2000's hitting the music billboard top ten charts with mega hits and even being named in "Forbes" magazine as one of the richest rappers at that time.
Besides his televised struggles with women "Yung Joc" is well respected for his work in the industry but I guess his come back to fit in today's music world wasn't a good choice. "Joc" new hair do sent many in an uproar but turned into a comedy show. At a whooping 17000 posts of memes and photo shopped photos between Facebook and Instagram. The funny thing is that the rapper isn't upset about this, "Joc" actually finds it very funny and is happy that his name is popular again just not in the way he imagined.
The question is do you think "Yung Joc" destroyed his career with this new hair cut? Does he have the chance to make a big come back and revive his career again or should he just stick to reality television? Well, sorry I find it quite hilarious but I really think it was a bad move. Glad he is not angry and continues to smile about it!

Q: Canjs -- how to grab type and pass into ajax? HTML snippet
..

Canjs which I am new at.
LoveIt = can.Control({

init: function(element, options) {
    var self = this;
    console.log(options);
},

'a.loveit click': function(el, ev) {
    ev.preventDefault();

        var self = this,
            pathname = el.context.pathname,
            getType = $('a.loveit').data('type');

        can.ajax({
            url: pathname + '/type' + '=' + getType,
            success: function(resp) {
                $(self.options.loveit).text(resp.count);
                console.log('success');
            },
            failure: failLove
        });

    console.log(el);
}

});
Try to grab data-type so it could pass to ajax (/love/34?type=image for example, but it keeps giving me /love/34?undefined. not sure where I overlooked.
Appreciate help. thanks in advance.

A: For getType you can do el.data('type')
For sending the query string it will be better if you use data:
can.ajax({
        url: pathname,
        data: {
            type: getType
        },
      ...
    });

This will create a proper query string. Make sure that getType has the right value (by doing console.log(getType)) and this should work.

»I don't mistrust reality of which I hardly know anything. I just mistrust the picture of it that our senses deliver.«
Blog Review 12 Nov 2013
A new book about China's rural fabric
1 / 10 'Homecoming' discusses the definitions of 'urban' and 'rural' and the significance of the two terms in China's history and future.
2 / 10 The book addresses the importance of traditions and history in China's hi-speed urbanism and it's current production of shiny iconic architecture. (Photo: Christiane Lange)
3 / 10 'Homecoming' brings together historians, architects, theoreticians, curators and writers from many different backgrounds and perspectives.
4 / 10 The book includes thorough essays and surprising topics such as: 'China's Architectural Historiography 1932-1946' and 'Mao Zedong and the Chinese Countryside'...
5 / 10 ... and it also allows for controversial and critical thought.
6 / 10 At many points, 'Homecoming' forms a critique against the current trends in China's architecture and urbanism.
7 / 10 Unlike many other publications on architecture in China, it almost completely abandons shiny images of the latest projects - with the exception of the Village Mountains by Standardarchitecture (Future Scenario China, 2007-ongoing)
8 / 10 Projects presented in the book demonstrates a sensitive handling of traditions, nature, materials, etc. (Photo: Hotel of Nanjing, Jiakun Architects 2005-ongoing)
9 / 10 Photo: Niyang River Visitor Center in Linzhi (Tibet) by Standardarchitecture (2009-11)
10 / 10 In a good way, the contributions approach the topic from various angles like Urbanus Research who are examining 'Typologies of Post-Ruralism'. Photos of Darfen Urban Village (left) and Shenzhen (right).
An intriguing new book, Homecoming, edited by Christiane Lange, Joshua Bolchover and John Lin, addresses changing architectural identities between the urban and the rural in China, and leaves a strong impression on uncube editor Florian Heilmeyer:
The Western perspective on China's architecture and urbanism tends to focus on certain aspects only. Among the most popular topics of conversation are the enormous size and the unbelievable speed of urbanization, of course, but also – according to Western media – a widespread urge to build shiny new iconic architectures. But beneath the surface of this rather superficial point of view, there is much more to learn and understand about this huge, multifaceted and contradictory country.
Homecoming was born out of a symposium held under the same name at the University of Hong Kong in 2012. With a specific selection of authors, historians and architects (many of them of Chinese origin) this book presents a nice collection of thorough texts, careful projects and ideas on how to work with the rural, the landscape, traditional materials and/or construction methods. The editors write: "Homecoming addresses the issue of rural development in China today and the role the architect has to play in this shifting context. It questions the 'rural' and the 'urban' in Chinese society and the larger issue of architectural identity".
Homecoming is a sensitive and plurivalent book about China. It's title theme is reflected in numerous interpretations by the featured authors. For some, 'homecoming' is about returning to China after studying and living abroad. Others understand working with the rural to be a way of 'coming home', discovering ancestral and traditional roots. And most of them refer to personal memories and perceptions they have of the Chinese countryside.
Whereas most books about contemporary architecture in China tend to exhaust the reader with superlatives, this book is distinguished by it's well-balanced thoughtfulness. Homecoming hardly shows any buildings at all – and if so, the projects are never shown for the sake of including glossy photographs of iconic architecture. Projects like the Museum of Handicraft Paper, the House for All Seasons, or the Yilan Revitalization project by Fieldoffice in Taiwan are adding arguments to the thoughts presented within the texts.
Homecoming manages to create an atmosphere that is concentrated, almost scientific, but at the same time never exhausting. The texts are well edited, getting straight to the point, yet rarely leaving the reader with the feeling that he's only scratching the surface. It's like following an entertaining debate where every participant makes a really good point.
All in all, the theme of this book allows for controversy and special topics (like "China's Architectural Historiography 1932-1946") without losing it's general focus or concentration. Homecoming is a quiet and concentrated book, honest and personal, as thoughtful as thought-provoking. A must-read for everyone interested in contemporary China.

Richard Parks
Richard David Parks (born 14 August 1977) is a former Wales international rugby union player turned Extreme Environment Athlete.
Richard now spends his life taking on expeditions and challenges, which push the boundaries of human performance.
As a professional rugby player and back row forward, Richard made a name for himself as a hard and prolific tackler, representing Wales and The Barbarians. During his professional career spanning 13 years, he played for Pontypridd, Leeds, Perpignan and Newport Gwent Dragons. He won the Principality Cup with Pontypridd and The Powergen Cup with Leeds.
Following his forced retirement from rugby, Richard made history twice with two incredible feats of endurance; a world first expedition called the 737 Challenge, where in July 2011 he became the first ever person to climb the highest mountain on each of the world's 7 continents and stand on all 3 poles (the North Pole, the South Pole and the summit of Everest) within 7 months. In January 2014 he became the first Welshman, and the fastest ever Brit to ski solo, unsupported and unassisted to the South Pole.
