Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire First published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. The methodology of the late Paulo Freire has helped to empower countless impoverished and illiterate people throughout the world. Freire's work has taken on especial urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities and urban centers is increasingly accepted as the norm. With a substantive new introduction on Freire's life and the remarkable impact of this book by writer and Freire confidant and authority Donaldo Macedo, this anniversary edition of Pedagogy of the Oppressed will inspire a new generation of educators, students, and general readers for years to come.

Juneteenth by Ralph Ellison "Tell me what happened while there's still time," demands the dying Senator Adam Sunraider to the itinerate Negro preacher whom he calls Daddy Hickman. As a young man, Sunraider was Bliss, an orphan taken in by Hickman and raised to be a preacher like himself. Bliss's history encompasses the joys of young southern boyhood; bucolic days as a filmmaker, lovemaking in a field in the Oklahoma sun. And behind it all lies a mystery: how did this chosen child become the man who would deny everything to achieve his goals? Brilliantly crafted, moving, wise, Juneteenth is the work of an American master.

Racism without Racists: Color-Blind racism and the Persistence of of Racial Inequality in America by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva
Call Number: eBOOK
White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this "vital, necessary, and beautiful book" (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and "allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to 'bad people' (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

Stride Toward Freedom by Martin Luther King Martin Luther King, Jr.'s account of the first successful large-scale application of nonviolence resistance in America is comprehensive, revelatory, and intimate. King described his book as "the chronicle of fifty thousand Negroes who took to heart the principles of nonviolence, who learned to fight for their rights with the weapon of love, and who, in the process, acquired a new estimate of their own human worth." It traces the phenomenal journey of a community, and shows how the twenty-six-year-old Dr. King, with his conviction for equality and nonviolence, helped transformed the nation-and the world.
Where Do We Go from Here by Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., isolated himself from the demands of the civil rights movement, rented a house in Jamaica with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript. In this prophetic work, which has been unavailable for more than ten years, he lays out his thoughts, plans, and dreams for America's future, including the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education. With a universal message of hope that continues to resonate, King demanded an end to global suffering, asserting that humankind-for the first time-has the resources and technology to eradicate poverty.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.

Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi The National Book Award winning history of how racist ideas were created, spread, and deeply rooted in American society. Some Americans insist that we're living in a post-racial society. But racist thought is not just alive and well in America--it is more sophisticated and more insidious than ever. And as award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi argues, racist ideas have a long and lingering history, one in which nearly every great American thinker is complicit. In this deeply researched and fast-moving narrative, Kendi chronicles the entire story of anti-black racist ideas and their staggering power over the course of American history. He uses the life stories of five major American intellectuals to drive this history: Puritan minister Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, W.E.B. Du Bois, and legendary activist Angela Davis. As Kendi shows, racist ideas did not arise from ignorance or hatred. They were created to justify and rationalize deeply entrenched discriminatory policies and the nation's racial inequities. In shedding light on this history, Stamped from the Beginning offers us the tools we need to expose racist thinking. In the process, he gives us reason to hope. Praise for Stamped from the Beginning: "We often describe a wonderful book as 'mind-blowing' or 'life-changing' but I've found this rarely to actually be the case. I found both descriptions accurate for Ibram X. Kendi's Stamped from the Beginning... I will never look at racial discrimination again after reading this marvellous, ambitious, and clear-sighted book." - George Saunders, Financial Times, Best Books of 2017 "Ambitious, well-researched and worth the time of anyone who wants to understand racism." --Seattle Times "A deep (and often disturbing) chronicling of how anti-black thinking has entrenched itself in the fabric of American society." --The Atlantic Winner of the 2016 National Book Award for Nonfiction A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Bestseller On President Obama's Black History Month Recommended Reading List Finalist for the 2016 National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Boston Globe, Washington Post, Chicago Review of Books, The Root, Buzzfeed, Bustle, and Entropy

The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin A national bestseller when it first appeared in 1963, The Fire Next Time galvanized the nation and gave passionate voice to the emerging civil rights movement. At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin's early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document. It consists of two "letters," written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Described by The New York Times Book Review as "sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle...all presented in searing, brilliant prose," The Fire Next Time stands as a classic of our literature.

Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD * Hailed by Toni Morrison as "required reading," a bold and personal literary exploration of America's racial history by "the single best writer on the subject of race in the United States" (The New York Observer) "This is your country, this is your world, this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it." In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation's history and current crisis. Americans have built an empire on the idea of "race," a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men--bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates's attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son--and readers--the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children's lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward. Praise for Between the World and Me "Powerful and passionate . . . profoundly moving . . . a searing meditation on what it means to be black in America today."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Brilliant . . . [Coates] is firing on all cylinders, and it is something to behold: a mature writer entirely consumed by a momentous subject and working at the extreme of his considerable powers at the very moment national events most conform to his vision."--The Washington Post "I've been wondering who might fill the intellectual void that plagued me after James Baldwin died. Clearly it is Ta-Nehisi Coates. The language of Between the World and Me, like Coates's journey, is visceral, eloquent, and beautifully redemptive. And its examination of the hazards and hopes of black male life is as profound as it is revelatory."--Toni Morrison "A brilliant thinker at the top of his powers, Coates has distilled four hundred years of history and his own anguish and wisdom into a prayer for his beloved son and an invocation to the conscience of his country. An instant classic and a gift to us all."--Isabel Wilkerson, author of The Warmth of Other Suns "I know that this book is addressed to the author's son, and by obvious analogy to all boys and young men of color as they pass, inexorably, into harm's way. I hope that I will be forgiven, then, for feeling that Coates was speaking to me, too, one father to another, teaching me that real courage is the courage to be vulnerable."--Michael Chabon "A work of rare beauty . . . a love letter written in a moral emergency, one that Coates exposes with the precision of an autopsy and the force of an exorcism."--Slate

The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander In a bold and innovative argument, a rising legal star shows readers how the mass incarceration of a disproportionate number of black men amounts to a devastating system of racial control. This is a terrifying reality that exists in the UK as much as in the US. Despite the triumphant dismantling of the Jim Crow laws, the system that once forced African-Americans into a segregated second-class citizenship still haunts and the criminal justice system still unfairly targets black men and deprives an entire segment of the population of their basic rights.

Savage Inequalities by Jonathan Kozol In 1988, Jonathan Kozol set off to spend time with children in the American public education system. For two years, he visited schools in neighborhoods across the country, from Illinois to Washington, D.C., and from New York to San Antonio. He spoke with teachers, principals, superintendents, and, most important, children. What he found was devastating. Not only were schools for rich and poor blatantly unequal, the gulf between the two extremes was widening--and it has widened since. The urban schools he visited were overcrowded and understaffed, and lacked the basic elements of learning--including books and, all too often, classrooms for the students. In Savage Inequalities, Kozol delivers a searing examination of the extremes of wealth and poverty and calls into question the reality of equal opportunity in our nation's schools. Praise for Savage Inequalities "I was unprepared for the horror and shame I felt. . . . Savage Inequalities is a savage indictment. . . . Everyone should read this important book."--Robert Wilson, USA Today "Kozol has written a book that must be read by anyone interested in education."--Elizabeth Duff, Philadelphia Inquirer "The forces of equity have now been joined by a powerful voice. . . . Kozol has written a searing exposé of the extremes of wealth and poverty in America's school system and the blighting effect on poor children, especially those in cities."--Emily Mitchell, Time "Easily the most passionate, and certain to be the most passionately debated, book about American education in several years . . . A classic American muckraker with an eloquent prose style, Kozol offers . . . an old-fashioned brand of moral outrage that will affect every reader whose heart has not yet turned to stone."--Entertainment Weekly

Race Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence by Derald Wing Sue Learn to talk about race openly, honestly, and productively Most people avoid discussion of race-related topics because of the strong emotions and feelings of discomfort that inevitably accompany such conversations. Rather than endure the conflict of racial realities, many people choose instead to avoid the topic altogether, or remain silent when it is raised. Race Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence: Understanding and Facilitating Difficult Dialogues on Race puts an end to that dynamic by sharing strategies for smoothing conversations about race in a productive manner. A guide for facilitating and participating in difficult dialogues about race, author Derald Wing Sue - an internationally recognized expert on multiculturalism, diversity, and microaggressions - explores the characteristics, dynamics, and meaning behind discussions about race as well as the hidden "ground rules" that inhibit honest and productive dialogue. Through emotional and visceral examples, this book explains why conversations revolving around racial issues are so difficult, and provides guidelines, techniques, and advice for navigating and leading honest and forthright discussions. Readers will develop a stronger ability to build rapport with people unlike themselves, and discover how not talking about race impacts society as a whole. Overcome and make visible the fears associated with race talk Learn practical ideas for talking openly about race Facilitate and navigate discussion with expert strategy Examine the hidden rules that govern race talk Understand the benefits of successful conversations Discussions about race do not have to result in disastrous consequences, and can in fact be highly beneficial to all parties involved. It's important that people have the ability to converse openly and honestly with their students, colleagues, children, and neighbors, and Race Talk provides the path for achieving this goal.

Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup Solomon Northup was a free man, the son of an emancipated Negro Slave. Until the spring of 1841 he lived a simple, uneventful life with his wife and three children in Upstate New York. Then, suddenly, he fell victim to a series of bizarre events that make this one of the most amazing autobiographies ever written. Northup accepted an offer from two strangers in Saratoga, New York, to catch up with their traveling circus and play in its band. But when the chase ended, Northup had been drugged, beaten, and sold to a slave trader in Washington, D.C. Subsequently, he was shipped to New Orleans, where he was purchased by a planter in the Red River region of Louisiana. For the next twelve years Northup lived as a chattel slave under several masters. He might well have died a slave, except for another set of bizarre circumstances which enabled him to get word to his family and finally regain his freedom. These elements alone -- the kidnapping, enslavement, and rescue -- are sufficient for a sensational story. But Northup provides more. He was a shrewd observer of people and events. His memory was remarkable. He described cultivation of cotton and sugar in the Deep South. He detailed the daily routine and general life of the Negro slave. Indeed, he vividly portrayed the world of slavery -- from the underside. Originally published in 1853, Northup's autobiography is regarded as one of the best accounts of American Negro slavery ever written by a slave. It is reprinted in full here for the first time, as the initial volume in The Library of Southern Civilization. Northup's account has been carefully checked by the editors and has been found to be remarkably accurate. To his own narrative of a long and tragic adventure, Professors Eakin and Logsdon have added significant new details about Northup and the plantation country where he spent most of his time as a slave. Heretofore unknown information about the capture and trial of Northup's kidnappers has been included, adding still another fascinating episode to an already astounding story.

The Myth of Race by Robert Wald Sussman Biological races do not exist--and never have. This view is shared by all scientists who study variation in human populations. Yet racial prejudice and intolerance based on the myth of race remain deeply ingrained in Western society. In his powerful examination of a persistent, false, and poisonous idea, Robert Sussman explores how race emerged as a social construct from early biblical justifications to the pseudoscientific studies of today. The Myth of Race traces the origins of modern racist ideology to the Spanish Inquisition, revealing how sixteenth-century theories of racial degeneration became a crucial justification for Western imperialism and slavery. In the nineteenth century, these theories fused with Darwinism to produce the highly influential and pernicious eugenics movement. Believing that traits from cranial shape to raw intelligence were immutable, eugenicists developed hierarchies that classified certain races, especially fair-skinned "Aryans," as superior to others. These ideologues proposed programs of intelligence testing, selective breeding, and human sterilization--policies that fed straight into Nazi genocide. Sussman examines how opponents of eugenics, guided by the German-American anthropologist Franz Boas's new, scientifically supported concept of culture, exposed fallacies in racist thinking. Although eugenics is now widely discredited, some groups and individuals today claim a new scientific basis for old racist assumptions. Pondering the continuing influence of racist research and thought, despite all evidence to the contrary, Sussman explains why--when it comes to race--too many people still mistake bigotry for science.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou Maya Angelou's debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Her life story is told in the documentary film And Still I Rise, as seen on PBS's American Masters. Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou's debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local "powhitetrash." At eight years old and back at her mother's side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age--and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors ("I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare") will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity."--James Baldwin

Dr. Steven Stodghill of the Department of Pharmaceutical, Social & Administrative Sciences and his team have had three abstracts accepted for the American Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences annual meeting in November.
Development of a Sustained-Release Donepezil Hydrochloride Formulation by Hot Melt Extrusion This study demonstrates the sustained release of highly water-soluble drugs such as donepezil hydrochloride can be formulated by continuous processing using twin-screw extrusion employing Compritol® 888 ATO as a hydrophobic matrix.
Effect of polymer molecular weight on Hot Melt Extrusion processing and dissolution of Clotrimazole The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) molecular weights on the extrudability and dissolution of clotrimazole by hot melt extrusion techniques. PVPs polymers are water-soluble and used routinely as a carrier to enhance the solubility for an API. Two different drug loads were used to investigate their effects.
Application of Solid Crystal Suspensions using Hot Melt Extrusion for Enhancement of Solubility and Stability of Efavirenz The formulation of crystal suspensions by Hot Melt Extrusion significantly increased the solubility and stability of Efavirenz. This technique/process provided an alternative approach for enhancing solubility of poorly water-soluble compounds using xylitol as a primary matrix carrier.

Bhante Dhammika
Shravasti Dhammika was born in Australia in 1951 and converted to Buddhism at the age of 18. In 1973 he went to Thailand with the intention of becoming a monk and from there to Laos, Burma and finally to India. For the next three years, he traveled around India learning yoga and meditation and finally ordained under Venerable Matiwella Sangharatna, the last disciple of Anagarika Dharmapala.
In 1976 he went to Sri Lanka where he studied Pali at Sri Lanka Vidyalaya and later became one of the co-founders of the Nilambe Meditation Centre and one of its teachers. Since then, he has spent most of his time in Sri Lanka and Singapore.
Bhante Dhammika had written over 25 books and scores of articles on Buddhism and related subjects. He is also well-known for his public talks and represented Theravada Buddhism at the European Buddhist Millennium Conference in Berlin in 2000.
A Day in the Buddha's Life
by Bhante Dhammika | Aug 22, 2022
Relying on the early texts, Ven. Dhammika describes the Buddha's daily life twenty-five hundred years ago. From detailing how he ate to whom he taught, the picture that emerges helps ground and deepen faith.

Q: Is there any difference for logging into a form where method=get and no name is set I am trying to log into a form using either urllib2 or requests. When I look at any  other examples they always have two key differences. The first is that their form always has
<form method="POST">
while the form I am trying to log into has no method set (and therefore defaults to method="GET")
The second difference is that my form does not have any name attributes inside the input elements, only id attributes.
I read this post where a user said that urllib only sends name attributes.
Since none of the examples work, how would I go about logging into a form like this?
--Edit--
Upon further research it seems that my form is most likely handled by java script not html. Are there any alternatives to selenium (which is painfully slow) that can login to this type of form form.

A: AFAIK, the name attribute is what matters for a HTML form.

Q: How to center javafx scene graph "camera" I have a group with two circles on it, when I move one of them with a translate transition I should see the stationary one remain at the center(which is in the middle of the scene graph) and the other one move. Instead what happens is the "camera" follows the moving circle making it seem like they are both moving apart.
Is there a way to center the camera on 0,0 so that it remains there instead of following the circle?

}
 }

A: To understand what is happening with the layout here, first note that the layout coordinates of the Group graph are ignored entirely, because you place graph in a layout container (a BorderPane). (Comment out the setLayoutX and setLayoutY lines and you will see they make no difference.) The layout container will size its child nodes according to 1. how much space it has for them, 2. the child nodes' min, preferred, and max sizes. Since the BorderPane doesn't have any other child nodes in this example, it wants to allocate all its available space to the graph. Since graph is in the center, if there is space it cannot allocate to it, it will center it, leaving the rest of the space unused.
Groups behave differently to Regions (which include Controls, Panes, and their subclasses): according to the documentation they are not resizable and take on the collective bounds of their children.
At the beginning of your animation, both circles are coincident, centered at (0,0) and with radius 5: so their bounding boxes (and consequently the bounding box of the Group) has top left corner at (-5,-5) and width and height of 10. This square 10x10 bounding box cannot be made bigger (since it's a Group, which is not resizable), and is centered on the screen. Since the BorderPane has 500 pixels of total width available, there are 490 pixels of unused width, which are divided equally on either side of the Group to center it: 245 to the left and 245 to the right. So the left edge of the Group, which is the left edge of both the circles, is at x=245 in the BorderPane coordinate system.
At the end of the animation, one circle remains at (-5,-5) with width 10x10, while the other has been translated 100 pixels to the right, so its bounding box extends from (95, -5) to (105, 5). Consequently, the bounding box of the Group, which takes on the collective bounds of its child nodes, has top left at (-5, -5), width 110 and height 10. This box cannot be resized, so the BorderPane's layout mechanism centers this box in the area it has available. Since the BorderPane has a width of 500 pixels available, there are 390 unused pixels in width which are divided equally on either side: 195 on the left of the Group and 195 on the right. So at this point, the left edge of the Group, which is the left edge of the untranslated circle, is at x=195 in the BorderPane coordinate system. Consequently, at the end of the animation, the untranslated circle has moved 50 pixels (half of the translation distance) to the left in the BorderPane's coordinate system.
A more natural thing to do here is to use a Pane instead of a Group. A Pane is resizable, so the BorderPane will simply expand it to fill all the available space. Thus it will sit in the top left of the BorderPane and fill the BorderPane. The bounds of the Pane start at (0,0) and extend to its width and height. Thus if you simply change Group to Pane, the untranslated circle will not move during the animation, as you want.
However, the circles will now both start in the top left of the pane instead of the center. If you want them to start in the center, you can change the coordinates of the circles themselves, so they start centered at (250, 250):

        launch(args);
    }

    public void start(Stage stage) {
        BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
        root.setStyle("-fx-background-color: Black");
        Pane graph = new Pane();
        root.setCenter(graph);
        // graph.setLayoutX(250);
        // graph.setLayoutY(250);

        Circle circle = new Circle(250, 250, 5);
        circle.setFill(Color.ORANGE);
        graph.getChildren().add(circle);

        Circle circle2 = new Circle(250, 250, 5);
        circle2.setFill(Color.AQUA);
        graph.getChildren().add(circle2);

        TranslateTransition t = new TranslateTransition(Duration.millis(1000), circle);
        t.setFromX(0);
        t.setToX(100);
        t.setFromY(0);
        t.setToY(0);

        t.setInterpolator(Interpolator.LINEAR);
        t.play();

        stage.setTitle("Circle Test");
        stage.setScene((new Scene(root, 500, 500)));
        stage.show();
    }
}

As an alternative, you could use a Pane as the root, instead of a BorderPane. A plain Pane doesn't do any layout, so in this case the layoutX and layoutY settings will take effect. Thus you can revert the centers of the circles to (0,0), and use the layout settings on graph to center it:

import javafx.animation.TranslateTransition;

public class Test extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    public void start(Stage stage) {
        Pane root = new Pane();
        root.setStyle("-fx-background-color: Black");
        Pane graph = new Pane();
        root.getChildren().add(graph);
         graph.setLayoutX(250);
         graph.setLayoutY(250);

        Circle circle = new Circle(0, 0, 5);
        circle.setFill(Color.ORANGE);
        graph.getChildren().add(circle);

        Circle circle2 = new Circle(0, 0, 5);
        circle2.setFill(Color.AQUA);
        graph.getChildren().add(circle2);

        TranslateTransition t = new TranslateTransition(Duration.millis(1000), circle);
        t.setFromX(0);
        t.setToX(100);
        t.setFromY(0);
        t.setToY(0);

        t.setInterpolator(Interpolator.LINEAR);
        t.play();

        stage.setTitle("Circle Test");
        stage.setScene((new Scene(root, 500, 500)));
        stage.show();
    }
}

A: You can change the class name to whatever you want.
The problem you had was that you added it through the setCenter() method which automatically makes its center the center of the pane.
I hope this came in time.

With 'Curious George,' Illumination looks to make more animation mischief
July 30, 2010 | 1:04 pm
EXCLUSIVE: Filmgoers soon will have another round of adventures with the Man With the Yellow Hat.
Illumination Entertainment, the animation company founded by former Fox Animation President Chris Meledandri and whose movies Universal finances and distributes, is developing a new version of "Curious George."
The movie is expected to feature the wry animated images of "Despicable Me" and will spin a new story of George the monkey/chimpanzee (depending on whether you favor H.A. and Margret Rey's text or the tail-less images) who's taken out of the jungle by an eccentric explorer to live in the city, where mischief always seems to find him.
Universal and production company Imagine produced an animated "Curious George" just four years ago, in which Will Ferrell voiced the Man With the Yellow hat. Mired in development for years, the movie didn't entirely catch on with filmgoers, grossing just $58 million in the U.S. (A second installment, "Curious George 2: Follow that Monkey!," came out as a direct-to-DVD release in 2009.)
The Illumination film is expected to start from scratch. It's getting a script from Larry Stuckey, who wrote the upcoming "Little Fockers," the third installment in the "Meet the Parents" franchise, for Universal.
Universal is very keen on Illumination, which with "Despicable" gave the studio a long-awaited family-friendly animation hit. After the success of that film, Meledandri's company is also developing "Where's Waldo?" and "Dr. Seuss' the Lorax" movies as well as a sequel to "Despicable Me."
Reboots of movies that haven't been gone very long -- "Haunted Mansion" and "Spider-Man" -- continue to remain in vogue in Hollywood. They'll be an adventure, but we suppose if any character is up for one, it's Curious George.

I just love "Curious George" and my kids too. I have probably seen it 10 times at least. And the music by Jack Johnson is just the best!

ANOTHER one? I'd very much prefer the 2006 one, thank you very much.

They should make a crossover with the 28___Later franchise and call it "Furious George"

So now they are going to remake it with CG? I, personally, loved the hand-drawn look (even though things in the environment, cars, buildings, background stuff was CG, unfortunately) of the characters, it's a shame that Universal thinks a new "rebooted" Curious George movie might do better by filtering it through a computer with CG graphics.
The 2006 version was sweet, innocent, the character animation and music was wonderful .The only thing I may have not liked about it was Will Ferrel playing The Man in the Yellow Hat like he was a buffoon when you are supposed to look up to him (I think the PBS cartoon of Curious George pulls the man's fatherly personality off better with Jeff Bennett).
And another thing: they better keep Frank Welker for this reboot!!

Not just the best catch of your life, this coast line has so much more than fishing to offer and you'll have a front row seat for it all! From sparkling tropical waters and white sandy bays to the soaring Red Cliffs, the scenery is second-to-none.
Get daringly close to Crocodiles, spot Dingos as we wind along the incredible floodplains, watch turtles cruise alongside your tinny and admire the unbelievable variety of birdlife – you'll want to bring a camera for this trip!
Fish your way down the stunning West Coast from Darwin to Port Keats on this sportfishing trip you'll definitely want to add to your bucket list!
Cast a lure in the subtropical paradise of Anson Bay, explore the turquoise waters of the Peron Islands, land a Barramundi in the Moyle River Systems and reel in a Mangrove Jack or two in Cape Ford – and that's just the beginning!
You'll also get to drop a line in Cape Scott, Highland Bay, Port Keats and the wildlife-rich Cattish Creek along the way.

A long time ago in a mind-set far away, I spent a lunch with friends trying to figure out what we'd do if we could reprogram our cellphones. Our ideas were, in retrospect, lame. Maybe we would change the font on the dialer or come up with a screensaver animation. Wouldn't it be cool if we could get flying toasters running on the screen of our cellphone?

PERKINSTON — No. 13 Mississippi Gulf Coast heads into the MACJC/Region 23 Tournament, which starts Thursday in Meridian, undefeated in the conference.
That doesn't automatically make the men's tennis team the favorite to win.
"A lot of our matches have been really close," Gulf Coast coach Gary Bourgeois said. "There have been a lot of tiebreakers, so I think there's a lot of parity in the league, especially the top three teams: us, Meridian and Co-Lin. Hinds is a dangerous team, also."
The nature of the game changes in the postseason. The dual matches are team vs. team. There are three doubles and six singles brackets in this tournament, eight schools fighting it out in each.
There's pressure to win individual state and region championships on top of the team goals. The outcome is determined by who advances farthest in the most brackets, and upsets can tip the scale against a team.
"It's going to be the type of tournament that comes down to the semifinals," Bourgeois said. "With only eight teams in the draw, the semis will decide things, probably."
The Bulldogs, winners of all 10 conference matches, are in as good health as they've been all season. Travis Bell (So, Jackson/Calloway) has rounded into form after some injuries, and Austin Vos (Fr, Perth, Australia/Applecross) played some at No. 1 singles in his place and has been strong on his return to No. 2.
John Murphy (So, Mobile, Ala./McGill-Toolen) is undefeated at No. 3, and Evan Chubb (Fr, Biloxi/St. Patrick) has come into his own in the next spot. Reid Cudd (So, Wiggins/Stone) is the defending state champion at No. 5, and Austin Moore has won his last four matches in the final spot.
"Each line has its own individual championship, so you have seeds getting knocked off," Bourgeois said. "A lot of teams play a lot of out-of-conference matches that are really tough, so it's hard to tell what you're going to see. It's all about who's playing well at the end of the season. Normally the teams who get hot at the end do well."

Heroes and Monsters 2021
Hero of 2021: Lorde and Her Music Made for Logging Off
The best album for taking life in stride.
Mother Jones illustration; Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty
As usual, the staff of Mother Jones is rounding up the heroes and monsters of the past year. Find all of 2021's heroes and monsters here. Lorde has the distinct honor of being both hero and monster, read the other side of the story here.
Lorde isn't making music for you. I know that's hard to believe, given so many of us, like myself, found the themes and words of Pure Heroine and Melodrama to be so potent. It was as if someone plucked the very thoughts out of our heads. Art can take a personal experience and tap into its universality. But, in the end, there is still a single creator. Should we punish an artist for not feeling what we feel?
For many, Solar Power, Lorde's long-awaited third album, seemed to fall short of the transcendent connection they found in her music before—which is fair. We're all entitled to experience music and art in ways that best feed us. But I can't relate. She found me where I am. Solar Power dared to be something different in a sea of the same. It was a multidimensional tale of what it's like to navigate internal quarter-life crises amid external climate and political crises.
Solar Power shifts away from the adolescent mindsets of Pure Heroine and Melodrama. "Crying in the dark at your best friends' parties, you've had enough, gotta turn the lights up, go home," she sings on "Secrets from a Girl," nodding at leaving the teenage themes of her past works behind. Growing up means readjusting, and sometimes abandoning, ideas and dreams we once had. That never stops happening—but the proximity of the experience taking place in your mid-twenties is so close to your childhood it feels more complex. For many of us this age these days, there's an extra sting in having to give things up—because of impending climate doom or insane wealth inequality or not having much of a social safety net, much less anything to look forward to. "I wonder sometimes what I'm missing," she asks on "Stoned at the Nail Salon."
The softness of this album's production is a sharp contrast to her past works like "White Teeth Teens" and "Ribs" on Pure Heroine or "Perfect Places" and "Homemade Dynamite" on Melodrama. But I found the softness reflected an embattled tone between the optimistic acceptance and encroaching nihilism I too frequently experience fighting in today's messy world. There's indifference and tranquility in the sound.
When the pandemic hit, I retreated to the mountains. I spent my free time among the waves of the Pacific and redwoods of California. This was the place I had run from in my years as a teenager. I was forced to face all sorts of old internal battles. So, perhaps, it makes sense that an album created out of a return to home and question of how one relates to a natural world among external and internal crises was a favorite of mine this year. And it makes sense too that those who are still looking for the old Lorde can't find her in this record, in much the same way that my friends can find the old me in my words and online posts.
Among a pop year overflowing with talent and incredible work, Solar Power steered a different course for the genre. (It might take some time for it to be recognized as such, but I have faith.) It invited us to look at ourselves from a different, dare I say, less self-centered point of view. "If I have a daughter, will she have my waist or my widow's peak?" she wonders on "Oceanic Feeling," a personal favorite. "My dreamer's disposition or my wicked streak?" Lorde is present with the natural world and is sharing the fruit it brought her.
It might be pretty trendy and all to be so hippy-dippy-connected-with-the-land. But it's been a truth taught by those who've come long before Lorde made an album. Maybe it's time to listen to it.

Firefox 55 Asks you to Activate Flash Player When Flash Content Is Available
by Eduard Watson/ May 22, 2017/ Software/
Flash Player is starting to be replaced by HTML5, but at a very low pace. This means that it will take a while until all websites will stop using the player developed by Adobe. Unfortunately for Adobe, its Flash Player has been facing some security issues for quite a while and for some reason, the company has not managed to fix them all until now.
In fact, the company has started patching these issues more frequently only after it has noticed that HTML5 is getting more and more popular. Well, it seems that Mozilla has decided to bring an option to the upcoming Firefox version 55 that will be released later this year.
According to Mozilla, the new Firefox 55 will come with a plug-in that it's going to "Ask To Activate" the Flash Player whenever it detects a Flash content on a website. This means that Flash content will play only once you will manually authorize it.
We remind you that Flash has already been blocked on Google Chrome, but you can manually activate it by heading to the browser's settings. At the same time, it is not available in Opera and it is "click to play" in Internet Explorer. Microsoft has also decided to not even allow it on Microsoft Edge, but let's face it… there are not many people who are using Edge, even if it comes along with the Windows 10 OS.
We also remind you that the Firefox 55 will be the first version that will move directly from Nightly build to BETA, after Mozilla has decided to ditch the Aurora channel. Firefox 55 is expected to be released on August 8, 2017, but the BETA users can already test it out.
What are your thoughts about Adobe Flash Player? Will you keep allowing it to run on Firefox 55?
