Real-name Policies Tied With Censorship in Asia
PCWorld	 Aug 24, 2012 5:40 am PDT
While online real-name policies have gained traction in the U.S. due to the policies of Facebook and Google+, they are increasingly linked with censorship in Asia, where governments mandate their use with the stated goal of squelching rumors and libel online.
On Thursday, a South Korean court struck down a controversial 2007 law requiring contributors to online forums to use their real names when leaving comments. Although meant to stop abusive postings from anonymous users, the law was found to be undermining freedom of speech.
Following the ruling, Internet users in neighboring China posted comments wondering if their own nation would end real-name policies being introduced on Twitter-like microblogging sites on the country. Like South Korea's law, the policies are meant to crack down on the spread of rumors. But many observers equate it to a form of censorship meant to scare users from posting comments critical of the government.
In the U.S., meanwhile, real-name policies have become important tools used by both Facebook and Google+ to create a "real world" environment, with the aim of making it easier for users to find and connect with each other.
The companies' policies haven't come without controversy. Facebook and Google+ will delete user accounts found using fake names. This caused Google+ users to complain in July of last year, with some stating their accounts had been wrongfully deleted, while others said they wished to use a pseudonym for privacy reasons.
But while both Facebook and Google+ use the policies to further their business interests, real-name regulations in China and South Korea have threatened to create burdens for Internet firms.
Due to South Korea's real name policy on Internet forum posting, sites with enough user traffic were required to implement verification systems for user comment pages, said Brendon Carr, a foreign legal consultant at Yulchon LLC, Attorneys at Law. This meant even user reviews for e-commerce businesses were forced to abide, he said.
"It's certainly a barrier for foreign investors," Carr said, noting that the law effectively prevented small businesses from using the Internet to engage with customers through forums, due to the cost of the verification systems.
But besides imposing costs on businesses, the law also affected free speech. Without anonymity, users and their comments could be identified for defamation, Carr said. Those wanting to express controversial opinions anonymously were instead forced to use sites based overseas.
"Koreans like defamation complaints," he said. "When somebody says something bad about you, that's a pretty popular remedy."
In China real-name policies have also created worries, both in the industry and among users. The nation's government, which is known for its strict censorship of the Internet, is gradually forcing the country's microblogs to require users to register their accounts with their real identities. Users who do not comply will no longer be able to publish posts.
Despite the push from the government, the operator of Sina Weibo, a popular Twitter-like site in the country, noted its concerns about the real-name policy in a February earnings call. Such a policy, if enacted immediately, would prevent many of the site's users from posting, the company's CEO warned. "In a very dramatic scenario, (users) may not be able to speak, or to post messages, but hopefully that's not going to happen," he said.
So far, the Chinese government has yet to force Sina Weibo to fully comply with the policy. And some users have complained, calling it another way to restrict their freedom of speech.
But in a nation with already strict censorship laws, the real-name policy is just one method among many the government uses to control content on Internet sites. Previously, authorities have gone so far as to detain users for spreading alleged online rumors. Sites like Sina Weibo will also routinely delete postings or shut down accounts for spreading sensitive or anti-government content.
Despite the real-name policy, Chinese users will continue to frequent Sina Weibo and other Twitter-like sites in the country, said Ben Cavendar, an analyst with China Market Research Group. "I think (Chinese users) have really integrated themselves with social networking sites," he said. "They are not going to stop using them. It's a transition for people, but they are going to use it."

Barnes and Merlis Receive 2014 James R. Holton Junior Scientist Awards
Elizabeth A. Barnes and Timothy M. Merlis received 2014 James R. Holton Junior Scientist Awards at the 2014 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, held 15–19 December in San Francisco, Calif. The award recognizes "outstanding research contributions by a junior atmospheric scientist within three years of his or her Ph.D."
By AGU 26 March 2015
Citation for Elizabeth A. Barnes
Elizabeth A. Barnes
The Atmospheric Sciences section of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) awards the 2014 James R. Holton Junior Scientist Award to Elizabeth A. Barnes. Dr. Barnes is an assistant professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University. She has already made major contributions to our understanding of midlatitude atmospheric circulation. Although receiving her Ph.D. only 2 years ago, at the time of her nomination she had published 23 papers in high-quality journals and was the lead author on 18 of them.
Elizabeth "Libby" Barnes's accomplishments can best be described by quoting from her nomination letters. "I cannot think of a more deserving candidate among her peers. She is an extraordinarily good scientist. … The amazing fact is this: the quality of her scientific work matches the quantity." "Bottom line: Libby Barnes is spectacularly good. I have no doubt she will become a major force in atmospheric and climate science in the next decade. … She is destined for greatness."
"The diversity of Dr. Barnes' research interests and skills is impressive, particularly for someone so early in their career. She is equally adept at working with observations and numerical models. She has used both a barotropic model and the dynamical core of a GCM to great effect in her research, and has considerable expertise in the analysis and diagnosis of observations. She is widely sought for and gives very clear presentations. Her physical arguments are lucid and her papers are clearly written. Dr. Barnes is a 'star' junior scientist by any measure. She is highly productive, very well known, and has already made fundamental contributions to our understanding of the climate system."
For these reasons, the AGU Atmospheric Sciences section is proud to award the 2014 Holton Award to Elizabeth A. Barnes.
—Alan Robock, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J.
I wish to begin by simply saying thank you.
It is an honor to receive this award, but even more so, a humbling experience. I must admit I was surprised to have even been nominated, let alone to have received this award. I suppose that is why one does not nominate oneself!
While there are many people who have helped me along the way, I wish to explicitly express my gratitude to a few key people who supported and guided my enthusiasm for science over the past decade or so: Efi Foufoula-Georgiou, for giving me the opportunity to explore a whole new world of questions; Julia Slingo, for providing me with my very first look at atmospheric science; Dennis Hartmann, for many things, but especially for consistently setting the bar one rung higher than was comfortable while continuing to nurture my scientific development; Lorenzo Polvani, for showing me how to ask interesting questions; and Arlene Fiore, for putting up with me, a dynamicist, while I tried to learn a little bit of chemistry.
Although I received my Ph.D. from the University of Washington, where Jim Holton was a professor for 38 years, I never had the honor of meeting him. I am told he was a wonderful mentor and teacher, and it is, of course, evident that he was also an outstanding scientist. It goes without saying that it is an incredible honor to receive this award bearing his name.
—Elizabeth Barnes, Colorado State University, Fort Collins
Citation for Timothy M. Merlis
Timothy M. Merlis
The Atmospheric Sciences section of AGU awards the 2014 James R. Holton Junior Scientist Award to Timothy M. Merlis. Dr. Merlis is an assistant professor at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Dr. Merlis is an atmospheric and climate dynamicist who works on baroclinic instability, the dynamics of extrasolar planets, tropical circulation, volcanic eruptions, and global hurricane frequency.
Timothy Merlis's accomplishments can best be described by quoting from his nomination letters. "Tim Merlis ranks at or very near the top of his age group in atmospheric science. His contributions to date are first-rate and are among the very best papers in our field over the last decade. His work is marked by an excellent choice of questions to pose and issues to address, a meticulous but creative approach to addressing these issues, and a clear and effective writing and speaking style. He is both broad and deep." "Tim is the best recent graduate in atmosphere/ocean physics I know. His versatility and familiarity both with large-scale dynamics and mesoscale dynamics is unmatched by anyone else I know at a similar career stage."
"The common thread to all of his papers is his extraordinary ability to isolate simple physical mechanisms within very complex dynamical systems. In most cases, he has done so by performing elegant numerical simulations with idealized models." "The breadth of his research interests, together with his desire to tackle fundamental questions, his rigorous thinking, his creativity and originality, all make Tim a truly exceptional young scientist, who promises to be an intellectual leader in his generation."
For these reasons, the AGU Atmospheric Sciences section is proud to award the 2014 Holton Award to Timothy Merlis.
—Alan Robock, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N. J.
I am grateful to receive the AGU Atmospheric Science section's James R. Holton Junior Scientist Award. It is excellent to receive the award in the same years as Elizabeth Barnes, whose research I admire.
This is a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the support from which I have benefited greatly. My advisers, Tapio Schneider and Isaac Held, have played an invaluable role in my development. The time I spent as a Ph.D. student with Tapio was truly exceptional. Beyond his scientific insights, Tapio guided my growth in all aspects of the profession. I am deeply appreciative of Isaac's thoughtful scientific advising. It has been wonderful to discuss a wide range of ideas with him.
I am grateful to the group of early career scientists with whom I have had the opportunity to extensively discuss research and other important topics. I treasure interacting with Paul O'Gorman, Simona Bordoni, Yohai Kaspi, Ian Eisenman, Xavier Levine, Gretchen Keppel-Aleks, Nicole Feldl, and others. I also thank the senior scientists who have generously spent time supporting me: Adam Sobel, George Philander, and Kerry Emanuel, among others.
Last, I thank Shanon Fitzpatrick and the rest of my family.
—Timothy M. Merlis, McGill University, Montreal, Canada

I recently picked up this floral mini dress (50% off today only!) for spring. I don't often wear skirts of this length (I'm usually a midi-length kind of girl), but I'm loving how easy of a casual weekend look it is. Throw on a pair of lace up wedges and get ready to soak up the sunshine all season long!
That's an adorable dress! I love the pattern and even though we're used to seeing you in more midi length pieces, I still love how that looks on you, it looks very youthful.
This dress is so adorable on you, perfect for spring!!
This floral dress is so cute!!

Highway rest stops bring Connecticut $5.5 million so far
They're cleaner, with more variety, say visitors
Ed Stannard estannard@nhregister.com @EdStannardNHR on Twitter
Sep. 27, 2014 Updated: Aug. 12, 2017 12:45 p.m.
The remodeled and rebuilt service plazas along Connecticut's highways have brought in about $5.55 million to the state since it signed a contract with Project Service LLC, according to the state Department of Transportation.
Meanwhile, Project Service is likely to spend more than the $178 million it committed to in its 2009 agreement, according to its president and CEO, Paul Landino. He said this year's "base rent," which began at $1 million in fiscal 2009 and rises annually in the 35-year contract, is about $2 million this year.
Landino said the rent started low while the rest stops were still being upgraded, and will rise over time. He pointed to the value of a public/private partnership that he said benefits the taxpayers.
"We've saved the state taxpayers a huge amount of money," Landino said. "We're actually paying this rent while we're building and spending money."
While he wouldn't reveal how much revenue his company has earned from the project, Landino said, "We're happy with our performance. We're happy with our sales."
Before Project Service took over, the department ran the plazas and collected receipts from the two tenants, Exxon Mobil and McDonald. According to DOT spokesman Kevin Nursick, in 2007-08 Exxon Mobil paid the DOT $6.11 million and McDonald's paid $6.59 million, while the state bore the cost of upkeep.
Nursick said the state is getting a good deal from the contract with Project Service: 17 new service plazas, with six to go in Madison and Fairfield on Interstate 95 and in New Canaan on the Merritt Parkway). He said they are cleaner, safer and offer a wider variety of food and sundries than the old rest stops.
Nursick said that while the state receives a minimum payment each year, "there have been quite a few months where the payment exceeded the minimum guarantee."
But he said the money the state receives is secondary. "First and foremost they are there to provide a service to our customers," he said. The old rest stops were "literally falling apart at the seams" and "kind of a pathetic statement on the quality of service that the DOT was providing to the public.
"They were not providing a high level of service or quality of products or variety of products and we wanted desperately to improve on that."
Nursick emphasized that Project Service is bearing all of the financial risk, and the contract came at a time when the DOT did not have enough money for all its planned road and bridge projects, let alone to renovate its rest stops.
Project Service is a joint venture of The Carlyle Group, an international private-equity firm, and Doctor's Associates Inc. of Milford, the parent corporation of Subway sandwich shops, which are featured at almost all of the rest stops, along with Dunkin' Donuts, Exxon Mobil, Alltown convenience stores and, on the interstates, McDonald's.
On-the-spot reviews at the Branford service plaza were mostly positive, although one woman from Fort Lee, N.J., who wouldn't give her name, said the service was "horrible. ... This is slow and there was nobody here" waiting in line.
Others, including Steve Belkin of Fairfield, mentioned the cleanliness. "The old ones were terrible," he said.
Cristine Jones of Bridgeport, sitting at an outdoor table with her family, said she liked having more food options. "Before it used to be just McDonald's and a store," she said.
Altin Bocova, a truckdriver from Norwood, Massachusettes., said he stops in Branford every day and that he finds it more pleasant than New York or New Jersey. "Everybody stops here," he said of fellow truckers.
"We wanted to make sure these service plazas serve almost as an ambassador" to drivers, Landino said. "We've had multiple people leave wallets around. That's the number one problem," he said.
He said in most cases, the wallets were returned safely.

I wasn't tagged for this, but I saw this brilliant post over on Zezee's blog and even though I didn't get tagged… this was too good to pass up!! Especially on Harry Potter's birthday!
Ocicat- I was so happy with this, cos as I mentioned recently, my favourite animal is an ocelot, and this is pretty darn close!
Gosh I'd have the lamest boggart ever.
Hehe okay, time for some naughty school confessions: I was very very good at hiding in all the schools I went to. Here are just some examples: in a secret corner of the music room I discovered was the perfect nook for reading (plus you could leave your book there before the lesson and read to your heart's content- result!), anywhere where there were overgrown foliage, under the stairs, behind the shelves in the library, the careers room (no one was ever there), the roof (which makes sense, I *am* a monkey). It's a wonder I was never caught- either way I imagine, even at Hogwarts (especially at Hogwarts!), I would be anywhere I wasn't supposed to be. I'd snaffle that Marauders Map in a heartbeat and end up in the Shrieking Shack before you can say Alohamora!
Sophie, Vicky, Kat, Marie, Reg, Nicola, Never Not Reading, Sherbet Lemon Reviews, Wonderfilled Reads and anyone else who wishes to do it!
Love your answers! For Harry's Birthday I decided to do The Ultimate Harry Potter Book Tag, but I am going to steal this from you too and add it to my queue! Because…September 1st is right around the corner!
Thanks for the tag! I have to be honest, it seems super hard to answer hahaha I know some of the answers I can simply take from pottermore but for the majority … I am not sure I have enough magical knowledge.
You're welcome!! hahaha fair enough!!
Hehehe true!! But I'd still be bored lol 😜 hehehe I'd love to meet hagrid!
This is the coolest tag ever!! I had so much fun reading your answers!!
Care of magical creatures would definitely be my favorite. I spent all of high school in my Zoology room taking care of all kinds of reptiles and subsequently in college expanded that to include birds and mammals. I agree with you on anything math or chemistry. No thank you!
Oh yes I get that!! It would really suit you. I didn't know that- that's amazing that you did that in high school!! hehe I know right!!
WAT?!?! THIS WAS CREATED JUST FOR ME!!!!!!
hehehehe I'm so glad you liked it!!
Aww I'd love 'Care of Magical Creatures' and 'Potions'! I think I would be like Hagrid and just love every animal, no matter how scary and dangerous lol. And Potions… Mixing stuff together is fun!! 😀 I'll take an Owl as well!
heheheh fair enough!!! LOL!! Yes- who wouldn't?!
HA THAT HERMIONE GIF. Lol my patronus is a black and white cat, and my best friend is some other cat (I honestly don't remember what type haha). Our friend got a rat and we make fun of him because we have a theory that he's related to Peter Pettigrew XD. That makes no sense I know but he still manages to get annoyed by HIS TRUE PATRONUS. 😂😂 He retook it and got something totally different but THERE IS NO RETAKING ON POTTERMORE. BAD.
hahaha that's hilarious!! hahahaa that's so unfortunate!!! Hahaha you're right- there's no retaking!!!
Thank you!! It was so awesome to do!
Glad you did it though and **hugs** cause you're a fellow Ravenclaw!
Lol! I never thought of History of Magic that way before but now I think I'd totally love that subject.
I like that you would be the kid hanging out in the library instead of playing Quidditch, that'd probably be me too to be honest. And that's impressive that you got away with hiding in all those places, especially in the music classroom!! But if your music classes were as chaotic as the ones I remember, and the hiding spot was a good one, I can see how it would have gone unnoticed.
btw I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. If you've done it before I wouldn't be surprised and you don't have to do it again.
hahaha fair enough!! Oh thank you- I will check it out!
I read HP as it came out, but I don't even know what half the questions mean, much less the answers.
OMG you're so right, History of Magic IS basically fantasy books! *gasp* I never understood why everyone was so bored with it, either, but I just assumed Burns was the issue, not the subject (I always liked History, but a teacher CAN make you despite a subject very quickly).
I'd love to visit the Shrieking Shack, and hopefully with the Marauders! Not as animals, though, that'd be weird and I'd probably be killed XD They're so epic.
Yeah I know right!! Yes I kind of get that, cos we've all had terrible history teachers before lol (at least I have 😉) but it never put me off the subject, and at least the reading material here would be amazing!!
This is SUCH a fun tag!!!!!! I'm definitely an owl person too. What's not to love! Thanks for tagging me!
I JUST LEARNED THE WORD SNAFFLE! My life is complete.
Ah fair enough. Hehe thanks!! I totally agree with you there 😉 no need to take the test when you know the answer!
It is totally amazing. I keep saying it to people and they are all looking at me like I'm crazy. I adore it.
Aaaaahhhh this tag is amazing!!!!!! Loved reading your answers!!!
This is so cool! How fun! Loved your answers ♥ Care for Magical Creatures is a career I realize I'd love now as a grown up (😭) but that I didn't know I'd like when I read HP! what is HP related about Sept 1st…?
Thank it!! It was so fun to do!! I get that lol!! It's the first day of school I think?
Love this! Might have to give it a go!

Annual reports for Municipal Light and Power Plant and System, Lighting Department, and Seattle City Light. Includes financial reports as well as comparative reports on highlights of years. Lighting Department annual reports contain historical reviews, illustrations, and statistical information. Also includes the 1977 and 1978 annual reports for the City Light Office of Conservation.
Seattle City Light provides electricity and electrical and conservation services to its public and private customers. It is the largest public utility in the Pacific Northwest. Public responsibility for electrical energy dates to 1890 with creation of the Department of Lighting and Water Works. In 1902, Seattle voters passed a bond issue to develop hydroelectric power on the Cedar River under the administration of the Water Department. Electricity from this development began to serve Seattle in 1905. A City Charter amendment in 1910 created the Lighting Department. Under the leadership of Superintendent James D. Ross, the department developed the Skagit River hydroelectric project, which began supplying power in 1924. Both public and private power were supplied to Seattle until 1951 when the City purchased the private electrical power supply operations, making the Lighting Department the sole supplier. The Boundary Project in northern Washington began operation in 1967 and currently supplies over half of City Light's power generation. Approximately ten percent of City Light's income comes from the sale of surplus energy to customers in the Northwest and Southwest. The current name of the agency was adopted in 1978 when the Department was reorganized.
Included in this series of annual reports are reports for the Municipal Light and Power Plant and System dating from 1913 to 1917; these are signed by J.D. Ross. Lighting Department or City Light annual reports exist from 1910 to 1985, although reports for some years are missing. In some cases there are two reports for one year; some of these are financial reports, while others are comparative or reports outlining highlights of the year addressed to the Mayor and City Council.
Beginning in 1911, the earliest Lighting Department annual reports are complete with a historical review, photographic illustrations, graphs, and statistical information. Many include maps and detail power plant development. The reports, although shorter, continue to be well illustrated and to supply statistical information through the 1970s and 1980s. They reflect issues such as conservation and droughts.
The 1977 and 1978 annual reports for the City Light Office of Conservation are also included in this series.

Lighting Department Annual Report - "Highlights"


After one half of play, IU leads Belmont 24-21 in the first round of the WNIT.
Freshmen guards Larryn Brooks and Taylor Agler had nine points each for the Hoosiers, leading all scorers.
Junior forward Jordyn Luffman led the Bruins with seven points.
The Hoosiers started out well, leading by as many as 10. But after a layup by freshman forward Lyndsey Leikem put IU up 18-8, the Hoosiers went scoreless for nearly six minutes.
In the same amount of time, Belmont mounted a 9-0 run to cut the lead to just one.
IU did not make a field goal until the 1:54 mark.
Both teams shot the ball poorly in the first half. The Hoosiers were only 11-of-36 (30.6 percent) from the field, while the Bruins were 8-of-24 (33.3 percent) from the field.

Plans to put Navy in charge of refugee Channel crossings branded 'appalling'
Here are the UK's 13 most popular breeds of adorable dog - including the loving Labrador Retriever
Vote on UK split hit by new setback
ALEX Salmond's plans for a referendum on independence have slipped again, raising new doubts over the Scottish Government's pledge to hold the vote before next year's election.
Saturday, 26th June 2010, 1:00 am
• Alex Salmond: shifting agenda. Picture: PA
Ministers have missed a key deadline for the Referendum Bill, meaning that it is now almost impossible for the SNP government to hold an independence vote on St Andrew's Day this year as they said they would, and difficult even before next May's election.
In order to meet their timetable, the First Minister had promised that the Bill would be tabled at Holyrood before the summer recess, which begins at the end of the week.
Scotland on Sunday has learned that there is now no chance of that happening.
Opposition parties claim that the slip means the SNP will not be able to bring the bill before parliament within its four-year lifespan. The government say there is still time for them to do so.
It is understood that one of the reasons behind the slip in the timetable is that ministers and civil servants are still deliberating over the precise form of words to be used for the referendum's second question, which aims to allow the electorate to vote for an extension of Holyrood powers short of full independence.
The revelation of the delay comes just days after the First Minister admitted that the "centre of gravity" in Scottish politics was not independence but more financial powers for Holyrood.
With only one third of the population supporting independence, Salmond appears to have moved from what is desirable for the SNP to what is achievable. Delaying the referendum fits into this new approach. Salmond published his first draft independence Referendum Bill in August 2007, fulfilling his promise to do so within his first 100 days in office.
The National Conversation consultation followed, which was supposed to culminate in a white paper on a referendum in November, an actual legislative bill in January this year and the referendum itself on St Andrew's Day 2010.
That timetable was delayed and nothing was published in November last year. Instead, the white paper was published in February – three months late.
Then Salmond promised a swift, nine-week consultation process culminating in a formal bill tabled before parliament in time for the summer recess.
The summer recess begins at the end of this week and the bill still has not been produced. It has also not gone before Cabinet to be signed off, which has to happen before it can be tabled.
A source close to the First Minister admitted that the bill would now not appear before the summer recess. He also admitted that ministers had not agreed on a second question for the referendum. Until that is agreed, the bill cannot be signed off by Cabinet.
"That is a live debate," he said "and while it is still a "live debate, the referendum bill cannot be formalised."
Opposition politicians believe Salmond is putting off the bill for as long as possible because he knows it will be defeated at Holyrood. By spinning it out, the First Minister can turn it into an election issue next year.
SNP ministers insist that there is still time to introduce a bill in the autumn and have the referendum, but none of the opposition parties share that view. They all believe the process will take ten months or more to complete, particularly because they insist that there has to be a gap of about three months after a bill is tabled before the stage one process.
The rest of the process takes many months with another gap between the passing of the legislation and the referendum itself, to inform the public and prepare for the plebiscite.
The process can be compressed in exceptional circumstances but that takes the consent of opposition parties and they will not agree to help.
Mike Rumbles, the Liberal Democrat chief whip, said: "The SNP have left it too late to bring their referendum bill before this current parliament."
David McLetchie, for the Tories, said: "The referendum has now been reduced to a pre-election stunt. This has been delayed again because Alex Salmond knows, following the General Election result, there is obviously no appetite for independence. All there is left is grandstanding."
Labour's Pauline McNeill said: "This was always just a gimmick designed to keep the issue alive. If they were serious about putting the question to the people, they would have published the bill by now and tabled it in parliament. Perhaps they know there is no support for an independence referendum in any form or shape."
But the First Minister's aides insisted that the Referendum Bill would still be brought forward in time.
A spokesman for Salmond said: "We are analysing the responses to the draft Referendum Bill, and will publish a final bill in good time so that a referendum can take place during this Parliament.
He added: "Interestingly, the likelihood is that the referendum in Wales will take place next spring – a process involving a Labour-led administration in Cardiff, and a Tory/Lib Dem government at Westminster – and the ball is in the court of these same parties at Holyrood to support the right of the people of Scotland to have their say on the nation's future."

2017 Year in Review: A Year of New Openings!
2017 has seen the business build substantially on its infrastructure, with the introduction of four new buildings and an innovative extension to an existing Sheffield base enhancing Gripple's footprint around the world.
New hubs have opened in Poland, Canada and Spain, with all three sites geared up to further improve the speed and quality of service we're able to deliver to our customers in three growing regions for the business.
Another exciting development was just around the corner, with the completion of a project to extend our Riverside facility in Sheffield heralding further improvements to Gripple's manufacturing capabilities to service a growing global business. Referred to locally as 'Sheffield's Industrial Cathedral', the new Riverside building features eye-catching multi-coloured windows, an innovative heating system sourced from the River Don, and a living wall which purifies the air in the building. Now doubled in size, Riverside has become another showcase building for the business, alongside The Old West Gun Works, the company's headquarters. We celebrated the opening of Riverside, opened by the Master Cutler, Richard Edwards, with a summer party which included a steel drum band, performing circus acts and a range of street food.
In addition to these new ventures, another exciting acquisition was announced at the start of the year with the purchase of the old 'Players Cafe' in Sheffield - a historic building, formerly a school, and a site we had exciting plans for.
Opening to our people in the summer before the formal opening by the Rt Rev Jack Nicholls in November, 'GLIDE House', named after the company's pioneering Employee Ownership model, is now home to our People and Culture (P&C) team, and will become an accredited training centre and meeting space for all GLIDE member businesses. As well as being home to P&C, the building also features a gym - free to use for all of our people - a bar and social space, and an industrial kitchen where employees can order food and have it delivered to their site!
It's been a pretty breathless 12 months but with the business extending it's export potential around the world, and adding a social space where our people can enjoy the fruits of their labour, it's never been a better time be part of the Gripple adventure!

Q: Use FindAll() method on List I have a list of objects with two properties each. I'd like to sort some of them out into another list based on one of their properties by using FindAll(). See example code below:
namespace Example {

    class Tower {
         public string name { get; set; }
         public int hight { get; set; }
    }

    class Program {
          static void Main (string[] args) {
                 List<Tower> towers = new List<Tower>();

                 towers.Add(new Tower() { Name = "tower1", Hight = 25 });
                 towers.Add(new Tower() { Name = "tower2", Hight = 50 });
                 towers.Add(new Tower() { Name = "tower3", Hight = 25 });

                 List<Tower> short_towers = towers.FindAll(new Tower() { Hight = 25 });
          }
     }
}

But it always says:

failed converting Example.Tower into System.Predicate<Example.Tower>'.

What am I doing wrong? Does someone have any advice?

A: List<T>.FindAll requires a delegate as its parameter, not an instance of T. For example:
List<Tower> short_towers = towers.FindAll(t => t.Hight == 25);

Though perhaps, given the name of the variable, you want all towers 25 or under:
List<Tower> short_towers = towers.FindAll(t => t.Hight <= 25);

A: List<T>.FindAll takes a delegate as input, in particular a Predicate<T>.
The Predicate<T> delegate can be defined as follows:
private bool FindShortTowers(Tower t)
{
    return t.Height <= 25;
}

// then, in some other method:

Predicate<Tower> predicate = FindShortTowers;
var shortTowers = towers.FindAll(predicate);

It is however customary to use a lambda expression rather than to explicitly define a delegate of type Predicate<T>:
var shortTowers = towers.FindAll(t => t.Height <= 25);

You can also use Enumerable.Where from System.Linq:
var shortTowers = towers.Where(t => t.Height <= 25);

Binge Worthy
Spanish TV series 'Grand Hotel,' 'Morocco' win U.S. fans
With movie theaters either closed or scarcely attended – and the release of the latest James Bond film, "No Time to Die" (Daniel Craig's last outing as Bond) delayed again and again – movie lovers have had to rely on streaming services for new films, many of them from foreign countries. Americans who rarely attended art house theaters to read subtitles for French, Swedish, German or Italian films, are now doing it regularly on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, as some of the best movies and mini-series, TV shows and documentaries, are from abroad. Not all of it is new, but it is new to us.
Netflix alone had already overcome Hollywood in total production and total spending on new projects by 2018, causing a storm of controversy over whether it was killing theaters as well as the older Hollywood studios. Then came Covid. In 2020, Netflix has become a giant, as has Amazon Prime Video, producing new movies and reviving older TV shows and foreign offerings for the American market. Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman," with a budget above $150 million, was turned down by Paramount, but snatched up by Netflix, which spent a small fortune promoting it, then – after the briefest of theater showings - releasing it to its worldwide audience (estimated now at 170 million subscribers, of which 70 million are in the U.S.). Like "Roma," another Netflix offering, it went on to win not only a large viewing audience, but 10 Oscars nominations.
Pre-2020, many said streaming services were winning viewers because Hollywood wasn't making traditional movies anymore. The agreeable romances, comedies, sentimental dramas, and patriotic outings of traditional Hollywood had all but disappeared. Comedies and middle-class entertainment had moved to television and darker subjects found a home on cable. Both cable and theater films were replete with nudity, violence, and profanity, the F word proliferating in scripts like termites in a wooden house. The violence was often sadistic, and political correctness began creeping in.
Suddenly, in 2020, the old Hollywood was back – but it was in Madrid. Movies that might have been made in Hollywood in the 1940s and '50s, were appearing in Spanish, one after another. Some are ten years old now, most newer - and they are splashy, visually attractive, very romantic, not afraid of being sentimental, and largely clean in terms of language and sex.
American viewers began binging on Spanish TV series like "Grand Hotel," "Morocco," and "Velvet," shows with beautiful people, splendid period settings, lush musical scores, melodramatic plots, heroes rather than anti-heroes, dazzling leading ladies – and, guess what? They can really act! Amaia Salamanca not only is lovely, but she's a superb actress. The blonde romantic star of "Grand Hotel" and "Morocco," she could turn a page and become the dark, obnoxious villain of "Velvet." So complete was her transformation that many, including me – a film critic for over 30 years - couldn't recognize her. She has the authority on film of a Claudette Colbert, the sensitivity of Ingrid Bergman, the mysterious good looks of a Garbo, plus a touch of Grace Kelly. In short, she's a smash. Paula Echevarria, the heroine of "Velvet," has the fresh-faced natural beauty of Paulette Godard and the sweet modesty of Olivia de Havilland. She is impossible not to like. Both actresses appear in separated lover sagas, Salamanca in two of them. The good-looking comic actress, Marta Hazas, if American, would be the star of innumerable sitcoms – her energy and comic skills in "Velvet" call up Lucille Ball or Carole Lombard.
And the men: Yon Gonzalez, the impossibly handsome star of "Grand Hotel" could be Rock Hudson or Jeffrey Hunter or Tyrone Power. Not only does he give a fine performance as a desperate lover in an impossible situation, but he also has to play, as a disguise, a waiter in the Grand Hotel – perhaps the greatest waiter performance in film history, replete with elegant submission, the most sophisticated of gestures, and total discipline - thus skillfully hiding his natural confidence and romantic boldness. The mustachioed war heroes of "Morocco," Alex Garcia and Alex Gadea, are right out of 1930s Hollywood epics. Miguel Angel Silvestre, as Alberto, the heir of a failing fashion store in "Velvet," who must marry for money when his heart is elsewhere, is boyish but macho as he struggles with his destiny. Character actors abound, especially older ones, like the nasty hotel owner in "Grand Hotel," played by Adriana Ozores, or Jose Sacristan as the stern uncle in "Grand Hotel" and the equally stern Colonel in "Morocco."
I've received emails from friends and relatives re "Grand Hotel": "Help Me! OMG, I'm trapped in the hotel," is typical of reaction to this period piece that runs three seasons. Set in 1906, the grand building itself, the exquisite period dress (especially of women), the crazy plot with Agatha Christie-style murders, secret babies, kidnappings, forbidden love, a hateful villain (done to perfection by actor Pedro Olonso), various subplots and even comic relief from a few characters, is half silent movie-style melodrama and half extravagant Hollywood Golden Age kitch – but impossible to stop watching.
"Morocco: A Time of Love and War" ("Tiempos de Guerra" in Spanish) is only one season long and most like a 1950s American movie. Beautifully shot in the Canary Islands, it is a tale of young wealthy women from Madrid volunteering to be nurses in the Spanish-Moorish war of the 1920s. One of them is actress Amaia Salamanca, once again in love with a man forbidden to her. It has gorgeous cinematography and lighting (both interior and outdoors) 1920s fashions, brave men and strong women, a terrific performance by Alicia Borrachero as the iron-willed, middle-aged Duchess who runs the new Red Cross hospital and won't take orders from the army, startlingly realistic battle scenes, lots of sentiment, two pairs of star-crossed lovers, plus palm trees and sunshine.
"Velvet" has the Dickensian plot touch of an orphan girl (played by the touchingly lovely child actress, Paula Gonzalez) who goes to live with her old uncle, who has a small apartment in the lower level of a giant department (fashion) store as do all the employees and seamstresses. As a child, she falls in with the child son of the owners, an affection sure to cause trouble later. This has more subplots and added comedy than the others, but is equally binge-worthy. It is also the longest, at four seasons. Other projects by the same creative team (writer/producer Ramon Compos and his Bambu Productions) now on Netflix include "High Seas" and "Cable Girls." You will rarely hear the f-word in any of them.
Who deserves to bring home a gold statue?
This World War I film is like a dream, a melancholy dream most of the way, but as fascinating and inescapable as dreams can be. It is a tale of two British army corporals sent on a mission to stop a minor offensive against the mighty German lines, which have been fixed in muddy trenches for three years. The officer in charge of the planned offensive doesn't realize that his 1600 men are heading into a German-planned ambush. The corporals convey a written order from a general to cancel the offensive and one of the men, Corporal Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman – Lannister from "Game of Thrones") was chosen because his brother is an officer with the battalion in danger. He chooses as his mate in the task, Corporal Schofield (George Mackay – Bodevan in "Captain Fantastic"). They are both ordinary blokes with accents to match, ordinary soldiers doing their duty. This is definitely not a flag-waving patriotic movie, nor is it in any political way an anti-war movie. It is simply a battlefield story.
The action takes place over two days in April, 1917 (ironically, the month the U.S. entered the war on the side of Britain and France). The battle landscape is utterly fantastic in its morbid and grotesque details. Dead men and animals are smeared into the mud, half-buried, over miles of territory. Everywhere there are ruins: buildings, upended tanks, twisted bridges, burned and flattened villages. Through this nightmare landscape the corporals risk their lives every step of the way, but – it being April – here and there they stumble upon the blossoms of cherry trees, a little touch of natural beauty. The unexpected happens: a German biplane is shot down by British aviators and crashes near them; a young French woman is found, without food or milk for a baby that may not be hers; each man suffers wounds.
Director Sam Mendes, who apparently based the story on tales his grandfather had relayed to him about the war, skips the usual chatty background information on the two men. The story just unrolls with the men as they are in those moments, and the cinematography is seemingly one long take (though it isn't – there's a trick to it). In a sense, their mission is also one long take.
"1917" avoids stirring emotion until the finale, when it fits. There are echoes of both "Saving Private Ryan" and "Paths of Glory" in this movie, but it has its own personality. Both Chapman and MacKay essay their roles with a steady hand. The corporals are good at self-preservation, but not given to foolish heroics.
World War I killed 10 million men in four years and was probably the worst event in European history since the Black Death plague of the 14th Century – and it led to both the Communist and Nazi revolutions, the Great Depression, World War II and the Cold War. It ended a century of relative peace, prosperity, and scientific progress. It was just awful. "1917" has 90% approval from both critics and public on Rotten Tomatoes, was nominated for ten Oscars, and dominated the U.S. box office on its opening weekend. Well worth a visit.
Also with roughly 90% approval from critics and public on Rotten Tomatoes, and nominated for three Oscars, is the charmer, "The Two Popes," a mostly fictional tale about a reconciliation between conservative German Pope Benedict (Joseph Ratzinger) and populist-liberal Pope Francis (Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio). The film is based on a play by Anthony McCarten, who did the script - which accounts for the engaging dialogue and intimacy in the basic story line. In 2012, as the story goes, the future Francis wanted to resign as Archbishop of Buenos Aires and Pope Benedict opposed the move. When they met in Rome to discuss the situation, an odd friendship bloomed, as they disagreed, in a pleasant way, about many aspects of the Roman Church's role in the modern world. Strongly hinted is the notion that Benedict, long something of a villain to progressive forces in the Church, was himself persuaded that Bergoglio had some good ideas whose time may have come. It would be difficult to find a better actor for Francis than Jonathan Pryce, who physically resembles him to a remarkable degree. Pryce, a brilliant performer, has won a Golden Globe for the role and is up for an Oscar. Anthony Hopkins is the crusty Benedict, and he's up for an Oscar, too - in the supporting category. The film is irresistibly likeable, as the two men graciously parry and thrust verbally, each learning from the other. The Vatican sets (including a full scale replica of the Sistine Chapel, courtesy of Rome's Cinecitta Studios), are impressive and create a grand mood which is carried into the scenes of Cardinals voting for a new Pope. The pomp and splendor of the Vatican is always fascinating, as are the ancient practices and rituals of the Church, including elections of popes.
The back story in "The Two Popes" is shown in flashbacks as Bergoglio blames himself for not being more of an activist, as a young priest, against the cruel reign of the military in Argentina in the 1980s, when thousands of students and others ("the disappeared ones") were murdered by the regime, which also blundered into a war with Britain over the Falkland Islands, which brought about the regime's downfall. The Benedict/Francis relationship may never have happened as depicted, and it seems unlikely Benedict would have voted for Francis after he resigned as Pope, but who knows? Two of the finest veteran actors in Britain make this story, something of a metaphor, work. Pope Francis has definitely been more liberal and the film has a few moments of what can only be called propaganda, but overall it is a clever story, superbly acted, and brightly presented in Cesar Charlone's cinematography. It opens with Bergoglio preaching to the poor in a slum neighborhood of Buenos Aries and ends with him elected Pope. In between, lots of good moments.
Renee Zellweger is up for a ton of best actress awards and has already won a Golden Globe for her depiction of a failing Judy Garland in "Judy." The year is 1969 and Garland's career is in a slump as she desperately tries to keep custody of her children from former husband, Sid Luft, who has launched a legal offensive to remove the children – Lorna and Joey, both teens – from the vagabond performing life of their mother. Zellweger has been made up to look like the iconic Judy with her later short haircut and facial tics, and her halting manner of speaking - often with tones of irony or exasperation. She manages this well, but what really works is her uncanny ability to convey attitude, the inner Judy, a mix of anguish and pride, of deep personal doubt, but still capable – with the help of liquor and pills – of confident performance. A towering talent, who had made famous comebacks before, Judy is nevertheless conveying a cry for help. This odd mix, the poignancy of it, made her a favorite with gay men, who flocked to her concerts, offering their hands in white gloves, thrust en masse to the stage. This connection is downsized in the film to a friendship with two gay fans, with whom Judy has late night scrambled eggs in their flat, an experience of a lifetime for them.
Judy's dependence on pills is shown in flashbacks to have begun at MGM when she was a teen performer. Though she wasn't overweight, she was nearly starved by the studio and put on diet pills that initiated lifelong insomnia, offset by sleeping pills, which also became an addiction. As an adult, Judy added liquor to the mix. Louis B. Mayer is shown in "Judy" as a towering, well-dressed business man with an unctuous voice that carried a hint of menace. A nasty chaperone oversaw Judy's weight regimen, which once actually included a dinner consisting of soup and a single lettuce leaf. Almost everyone in the English-speaking world (and certainly beyond) has seen Judy singing "Over the Rainbow" in the 1939 classic, "The Wizard of Oz." Judy then was 16 but looked younger. The song, her voice, the earnest feeling she brought to it, was unforgettable. She became one of the most famous performers on earth, but the weight of fame was heavy, demanding, disrupting at times. Her weakness for new beginnings (five husbands), financial ineptitude (often by her managers and husbands), drinking and pills, wrought havoc. In 1969, her agent booked her into a major London nightclub venue in hope she could recover her equilibrium and financial stability. This is that story.
At 49 when filming, Renee Zellweger was almost the same age as the Judy Garland she portrays. This film is based on Peter Quilter's aptly named play, "End of the Rainbow," and has the succinct quality of a play, rather than the scattered anecdotal course of a bio. Yet the flashbacks (some with a young Mickey Rooney) fill out a life story, with Darci Shaw playing the young Judy. In London, a shaky Judy, drinking too much, on the phone a lot with Luft, who is keeping the children temporarily so they can attend school normally, knows she needs touring to make the money she needs for custody, but that the touring itself is the main danger in losing custody. Overwrought, she seeks consolation from a fledgling young producer, Mickey Deans, who will become her fifth husband. On stage, she triumphs, but also flops when drunk. The movie moves to a climax over her inability to perform regularly. The final scene is a knockout – and it is pathos rather than bathos because Judy's situation was that of genuine personal tragedy. Zellweger mixes characterization with impersonation, and brings it off. She creates a great artist who is also an unhappy human being, and she does all her own singing, capturing the tone and range of Garland at that stage in her life. Renee deserves that Oscar.
Director Noah Baumbach has been the king of indies, usually filmed in New York, sometimes with Greta Gerwig, always with a sense of personal intimacy in exploring human relations - with believable dialogue - with some irony, some hope, some disappointment. "Marriage Story" is his masterpiece, loved by critics and audiences alike, earning a tableful of awards and award nominations. In it, Scarlett Johansson plays Nicole, an actress who is divorcing her theater director husband, Charlie (Adam Driver), as she relocates to Los Angeles where she has been offered a TV series. He prefers to stay in New York with the theater company he has laboriously built over the years. The main problem is custody of their eight-year-old son, Henry (played by nine-year-old Azhy Robertson). The movie is an essay on divorce, especially with children. It is heartbreaking and fascinating at the same time, like a car wreck. Both parties earn sympathy from the viewer, but with a tilt toward Charlie in the first hour.
Scarlett Johansson was so young when she made a film breakthrough in "The Horse Whisperer," age 14, that it is hard to believe she is 35. She is still young-looking for her age, but as an actor she has matured, deepened. Adam Driver, a year older, was discovered by the public in the cable series, "Girls," in 2012, but he has been involved with acting from high school and did a stint at Juillard after a patriotic enlistment in the Marines following 9/11. He is a brilliant actor, which was obvious from his earliest appearances in "Girls." Here he is working at an Oscar-deserving level and has been nominated, along with Scarlett and Laura Dern, who plays Nicole's L.A divorce lawyer. The Screen Actors Guild has nominated all three, too.
"Marriage Story" is intimate, mostly conversation, with a restrained musical score by Randy Newman. It draws the viewer in close, almost embarrassingly so. Whose side are we on? In the end, both. At first, Nicole and Charlie think they can work things out themselves, then Nicole allows herself to be represented by a cynical, confident divorce lawyer played by Laura Dern. Everything changes. Charlie is suddenly a deer in the legal headlights. He turns to a friend, an easy-going older lawyer beautifully played by Alan Alda, who brings understatement to every line. When he seems too soft to take on Dern's character, he hires his own shark, nicely essayed by Ray Liotta. Things get nasty.
Then the couple meet alone again to see if they could, as originally intended, handle things in a simpler fashion, but a shouting match ensues, in which Charlie breaks down (Driver's best scene – genuinely moving, in which he has a line, "You were happy, you just decided you were not now."). In between, there are many domestic scenes with Charlie spending time with Henry and meeting Nicole by necessity, in which old ways sometimes assert themselves in a ritual as simple as she cutting his hair, as she always had. Perhaps show biz people should not marry one another, which seems to be true! Nicole has a career beckoning in TV in L.A., Charlie is quintessential New York City, as much so as Woody Allen. The question looms: even if the marriage is doomed, can the relationship be saved?
"Marriage Story" is not without humor: the court-ordered "evaluator" who visits Charlie when Henry is with him is a weird, stiff eccentric. The script has humor, usually ironic, but it simmers with love, too. Baumbach has hit it out of the park this time, as has his main cast. Kudos all around.
Oscar-Level Filmmaking
Scorsese's 'Irishman' reunites director, actors from gangster classics
Much celebrated this awards season is Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman," a movie that unites the director with actors he used as gangsters in films as far back as 1973 ("Mean Streets"). What a reunion it is! Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel were both in Scorsese's "Mean Streets, De Niro and Joe Pesci were in "Goodfellas" (1990) and reunited in Scorsese's "Casino" (1995). All three are in "The Irishman," along with other Italian-American actors like Bobby Cannavali. Al Pacino is also in it. A star of all of Francis Coppola's "Godfather" movies, he had worked with De Niro four times, but never for Scorsese - though both always wanted it.
This three and a half hour blockbuster was released to theaters a few weeks before becoming available on Netflix, which made its production possible. The genre of "The Irishman" is not that of the crime movie, nor even the gangster film, but perhaps most accurately, the Godfather genre. "The Godfather" (1972) was released a year before "Mean Streets," and shot a year before that, but as a big budget production must have been in preparation for a much longer time. "Mean Streets," a low budget film, was shot on the streets, much of it with a hand-held camera. It would make sense to assume that "The Godfather" was never far from Scorsese's mind as he crafted "Means Streets" and, later," "Goodfellas." In a sense, this is his "Godfather," complete with Pacino.
Like the "Godfather" films, there is a glaze of romanticism about these cruel characters and their peculiar tribal ways, as well as a keen sense of zones of male intimacy and simple codes of deference and status. Dialogue between two gangsters who know each other well, might run to something like this: "Something has to be done. I mean, it just isn't right." "No, it isn't right." "I mean, you just don't do that." "No, you wouldn't do that." "Something has to be done." All lines are delivered low key, almost as though painful to utter, and the feel is intimacy, as in longtime relationships with mutual understanding. Other people are not in that zone. It's very much a male movie, too, as the mafia must be, with women strictly as accessories.
Frankly, no one in the business is better at this style of acting than De Niro, who is utterly natural, simply brilliant, handling his lines throughout - and he is a subservient character throughout. The more superior, yet quieter character is Joe Pesci, retired from acting for decades but back for this encore. The tough little actor who was so menacing in his late forties in "Goodfellas," is here a gentle and vulnerable old man, though still a crime boss. The scenes between Pesci and De Niro are the best in the film.
De Niro, as Frank Sheeran, a mob hitman and minor Teamsters official, narrates the entire story from his old age in a home for the elderly. CGI effects are used to make him look younger (generally they work) and make-up makes him look older (he, Pesci, Scorsese, Keitel and Pacino are all in their seventies). The narrative style provides a sentimentality as the decades slide by, underscored by hit songs of each decade and other nostalgic details. A problem is that De Niro is totally unbelievable as an Irishman, so hopelessly urban Italian are his gestures, voice, looks. Also, he's about 5'9" and the real Sheeran was a huge Irishman about 6'4." That he can speak Italian is written off as a result of his WWII combat experience in Italy. Also, the story seems to be mostly fiction, based on ramblings by the real Sheeran in his old age, which were put in a book. So fierce has been the criticism of the book and film that even De Niro had to admit the story is "ours" rather than Sheeran's. The real Sheeran may never had killed anyone, definitely not Joe Gallo as in the movie, and it is unlikely he had anything to do with the death of Jimmy Hoffa, a main character in the movie. Regarding Hoffa, again an actor just doesn't fit the role – Pacino, good as he is, simply is not Hoffa, despite the hair-do – he's too Italian also. Hoffa was a thick-bodied thug, with an Irish face, and he had an edge of intimidation and threat about him.
Pesci, as the real mob boss, Russell Bufalino, takes a liking to the young Sheeran and brings him slowly into the mob and the Teamsters. Eventually, Sheeran gets a call from Jimmy Hoffa, the Teamsters racketeer who was hounded by the Kennedy brothers, with a simple question, "I heard you paint houses" (euphemism for splattering blood in executions). After that, Sheeran is Hoffa's man.
Scorsese takes amiable shots at famous people: the mob helped elect JFK, then he turned on them; Sheeran met the oddball David Ferrie (who had false red hair and false eyebrows made of cardboard) during prep for the Bay of Pigs invasion (Ferrie was a suspect in New Orleans DA Jim Garrison's investigative circus into JFK's assassination); Nixon pardoned Hoffa as a political ploy.
A metaphor carried through the film is the morally suspect one that Sheeran was the good soldier in the Italian campaign, doing killing for his country, and he just carried on that work for Bufalino and Hoffa later. A fascinating scene near the end – and one of the movie's best – is one between the elderly Sheeran and a young priest taking his lifetime confession and asking if he "feels" remorse. Nope, says Sheeran.
As the movie does have something of a documentary feel, truly alarming are the number of genuine murders by the mobs in the 1970s and '80s, with the screen providing subtitled dates and brief descriptions of how each was wacked in real life.
Besides the Oscar level work of De Niro and Pesci, strong support comes from Stephen Graham, an Englishman who has perfected the Italian-American gangster mode; he played Al Capone in "Boardwalk" and here plays "Tony Pro" Provenzano, an enemy of Hoffa - and from Anna Paquin, as a Sheeran daughter who can't accept his lifework.
What really happened to Jimmy Hoffa in 1975, other than his disappearance and presumed murder, remains a mystery. In all likelihood, Frank Sheeran had nothing to do with it. Also, because this movie is so long, and available on Netflix/TV, many people may watch it in segments, which would not please Martin Scorsese, who may win his second Oscar for it.
Epic Combat, Period.
Sentimental, patriotic film stirs feelings, brings tears
"Midway" is reminiscent of the 2001 Pacific War epic, "Pearl Harbor," but without the two-best-friends-in-love-with-the-same-girl theme (a story line so old it goes back to the silent film era). "Midway" is just a combat movie, period. The fact that it has a mostly no-name cast works to its advantage, providing an almost documentary edge (ironically, famed film director John Ford is shown in one segment filming on Midway Island for his first combat documentary for the U.S. Navy, being strafed by Japanese fighter planes in the process). It is also one of those movies more popular with the public voting on Rotten Tomatoes (92% approval) than with the critics (42% approval). This is the reverse of the recent space thriller, "Ad Astra," in which the critics warmed to the film at an 84% clip, while the public shied away at 40%. This is probably due to the fact that "Ad Astra" is largely cerebral, contemplative, with most of the dialogue a monologue by one astronaut and with not a lot of action. "Midway" is nothing but action: opening with the Pearl Harbor attack in December, 1941, and moving along to the audacious Jimmy Doolittle carrier-based bombing attack on Tokyo itself in April, 1942 (most of the pilots had to ditch, some captured, some killed, some saved by friendly Chinese), then to the Battle of the Coral Sea in May, a naval stand-off that saved Australia and New Zealand from invasion and was the first check on Japanese expansion, then on to the huge American naval victory in the Midway region in June – a dramatic turning point in the war.
Battleships, dominant in World War I and long before that, were by 1940 helplessly vulnerable to air attacks from carriers, as Pearl Harbor made clear. Aircraft carriers were now the faster and more effective warships of the Second World War. Midway was a battle between carriers, four on the Japanese side and three on the American - one of them, the Yorktown, had to be hastily repaired at the Pearl Harbor naval shipyard after major damage in the Coral Sea action.
Like some of the recent space adventure movies ("First Man" comes to mind), "Midway" puts an emphasis on the size, noise and alarming vibrations of war machines. The aircraft carriers are just plain scary – monstrous craft heaving on the ocean - and the various aircraft, mostly dive-bombers, are dangerous, tricky, hard to land, and terrifying when in combat nose dives. A word about CGI – in this movie it is not only necessary, but is brilliantly done. In no way could conventional filming convey the absolute hell of tracer bullets and anti-aircraft explosions, literally filling the screen with an overpowering array of death-dealing color and light. How pilots could fly directly into such a canvas of destruction is a tribute to their courage, discipline and patriotism. Initial dive bomber raids on the Japanese were virtually suicidal for Americans, who peeled off in formation only to be shot to pieces.
Crucial to the American victory was the breaking of the Japanese naval codes by American intelligence services, who had been shamed by their failure to anticipate the Japanese carrier attack on Pearl Harbor. Stung by this embarrassment, they went all out to crack codes and anticipate Japanese carrier movements (Patrick Wilson, one of the few well known U.S. actors in the film, plays Edwin Layton, a chief intelligence operative vital to this success). The leading man in the film, playing a naval fighter pilot, is Ed Skrein, a Londoner employing a flawless American accent. He has that gum-chewing, irritating independence of many Americans in war films, but his character, Dick Best, was a real, not a fictional person. The major characters in the movie were all real people, ID'd at the end, as to their various fates. Better known actors play small roles, some merely cameo: Woody Harrelson, on screen a bit longer than the others, as Admiral Chester Nimitz, overall commander; Dennis Quaid as Admiral "Bull" Halsey; and Aaron Eckhart as Commander Jimmy Doolittle. Japanese actor Etsushi Toyokawa plays the famous Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, who is quoted after Pearl Harbor with the famous line; "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." The line has appeared in many movies, and is reputed to have been written in his diaries, though scholars can't locate it (he was ambushed by U.S. fighter planes while on a mission later in the war). Nevertheless, Yamamato often said the war could not be won.
The Japanese are treated with dignity throughout, in many scenes in which they plan action - often disagreeing about tactics - and in all combat scenes. At the end, the film is dedicated to the fighting men of both nations, an unusual note of respect. The private lives of the sailors and pilots is explored minimally, though Best's wife and daughter figure in a few scenes.
Carriers were expensive, decisive in the naval war, and difficult to replace, as were the trained pilots assigned to them. At Midway, caught by surprise while most of their planes were on deck being refitted with new weapons, the Japanese suffered a breath-taking holocaust as all four of their carriers – one a flagship for the Commander – were sunk, along with a heavy cruiser that went down with 700 men. In all, the Japanese suffered over 3,000 killed, ten times the American toll, and a payback in lives equal to American losses at Pearl Harbor. Many skilled pilots could never be replaced. The American carrier, the Yorktown, was so wounded, it eventually had to be scuttled.
"Midway" is patriotic and sentimental, but the sentiment, which surely will bring tears to the eyes of many viewers, is due to the visceral knowledge that at the deepest level, human life is at stake and brave men are willing to make that sacrifice, total and final. This is a rare feeling that most civilians never experience, except vicariously, as in viewing a movie.

While 2008 was not outstanding for many world regions in terms of growth in travel and tourism, Russia reported double digit growth in air travel demand during the first six months (16%) and its national carrier Aeroflot was reporting 28% growth in revenue during the first nine months of the year.
With travel retail in Russia forecast to double in the next four years, there is a marked interest in the market among brand owners. This report, the first by TFWA on Russian outbound travellers, provides a unique insight into their travelling trends and spending behaviour.

Q: Is Meissner effect really caused by expulsion of magnetic flux? The Meissner effect is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state.
This is the explanation by mainstream physics.
But the experiments show that they are not always expelled. They are attracted when they are little far away and repelled when they are close. There is a balanced point.
Total expulsion of magnetic flux can't explain the attractiveness.
Please give some comments on this.

A: I do not like the term "levitation" as it is misleading. I prefer something on the lines of "suspension".
When in the presence of a magnet a superconductor is neither repelled nor attracted to it. For the sake of this discussion, we can neglect type I and II superconductors. What actually happens is that the magnetic flux exclusion makes it such that the magnetic field lines wrap around the superconductor.
This wikipedia link shows a sketch of the magnetic field exclusion.
In this configuration the superconductor will not move up or down (of course if you apply enough force it will). It is trapped in its position. If you put the magnet on the bottom it looks like the superconductor is levitating. Conversely, if you put the magnet on top and pull it up, the superconductor will follow it so that its relative position does not change (again, it is trapped withing those magnetic field lines).
But beware, if the superconductor is heavy enough it will fall and you will like shatter your ceramic :-). Done that :-(.

Power Instinct 3
Developer: Atlus
The Power Instinct series has gone relatively unnoticed in the arcades since the first one came out several years ago. Now the third is out, and the gameplay is basically the same. In Power Instinct 2, there were 13 characters, four of which could transform into other characters by sucking life from their opponents. In part 3. a couple of the "transformable" characters have been separated from their counterparts and have a couple new moves too. Atlus still has a problem capturing a 100-percent playable fighting game engine; however, the strange assortment of people you fight with and the animation are strangely appealing and may be worth checking out! Perhaps the coolest part of the third PI is the fact that you can now play as one of the judges! He's one of the best characters in the game. If you're sick of the same old SF or MK fighting engine, P13 is for you!
