When you begin your campaign on Shogun 2 pretty much every Clan follows the Shinto Buddhism religion, with the notable exception of the Ikko-Ikki warrior Monks who practice Ikko. Religious unrest is nothing to sniff at either – it factors not only into the happiness in your provinces but also the way the other Clans perceive you. Religion can be used in various ways to get bonuses to certain troops or access to others earlier than you would normally be able to. It is also possible to use Religion as a weapon, stirring up unrest and revolt in the territory of your enemies. A powerful tool if used properly.
As you play your campaign, after a few turns you might encounter a Christian Clan and wonder how this has happened, well – read on!
The Nanban (Japanese term for barbarians, as they were called – basically European traders) will approach you directly after some time, offering trade in exchange for a port for them to use in your territory.
The consequences of this are both immediate and time-spanning, and the whole affair can take some extensive micro managing to get through.
+2 possible sea trade routes, increasing the number of other clans you can get trade agreements with.
Improves the export capacity, therefore increasing trade value of the goods you are trading to others by +120 Koku.
Allows for the recruitment of Imported Matchlock Ashigaru.
It will convert that region's populace to Christianity. This will of course cause religious unrest and can, if left unchecked result in full scale rebellion against your rule.
In comparison to your other construction option after Trading Port, the Military Port allows the construction of more advanced Japanese Naval Vessels, but is less profitable in terms of trade. However, the Military Port does not convert your population to Christianity.
Once you have built a Nanban port, you will shortly afterwards get a notification advising you that the 'Nanban' have not only brought with them their gold and trade goods, but also their religion. It is suggested that the spread of this new religion should either be embraced or repressed as much as possible.
Following the warning message mentioned in the paragraph above, you are now able to embrace Christianity as your clan's official religion. To do this you need to go to your Clan Management screen. From there, in the 'Family and Council' tab, you will notice a button in the left hand corner.
By clicking this your Daimyo renounces traditional Shinto-Buddhism and embraces this new religion as his own, making it the official religion of your clan. Once this has done, you will notice that a lot of the Clans you've encountered will now be notably less friendly towards you. This has happened because both your Daimyo's honour has taken a decrease, and you will suffer from the negative religious difference effect with other Clans. On the other hand, if there are any existing Christian Clans they will be much more friendly with you.
From left to right you can see the change in Diplomatic relations from switching to Christianity. Remeber; if Clans dislike you they are more likely to go to war.
It is not only in inter-clan diplomacy that you might suffer slightly. Thanks to the lowered Honour of your Daimyo, some of your Generals may be on the brink of treason, forcing you to ask them to commit Seppuku - and if that doesn't work they will outright rebel against you, taking some of their men with them.
Adopting Christianity as your Clan's official religion also causes your population happiness untold turmoil. Not only do you need to offset the religious unrest as your Buddhist population is slowly converted, but also the lowered public order thanks to your Daimyo's reduced Honour. If unmanaged you will suffer Buddhist revolts.
Sometimes you will be doing everything you can to increase Public Order; Garrisoned forces, Missionary, Exempted from tax but still the huge penalty 'Non-Clan religion' is strong enough to cause revolt.
In some cases it can take many, many turns to get your population back under control. A Christian Clan must beware however, from here on out the provinces you conquer (which are likely still majority Buddhist) will also have these lowered public order levels to contend with. Unless you take steps to increase your Daimyo's honour, or convert the population before you conquer.
By adopting Christianity, you will now also have the option to upgrade your Nanban Port to a Nanban Quarter and will likely receive a notification to advise you of this.
3 possible sea trade routes, increasing the number of other clans you can get trade agreements with.
Improves the export capacity, therefore increasing trade value of the goods you are trading to others by +200 Koku.
At this point, being that you've now adopted Christianity it shouldn't be considered a disadvantage that the Nanban Quarter also converts the population to Christianity quicker, but also spreads the religion to neighbouring provinces.
Each increases the conversion rate to Christianity, and also spreads the religion to neighbouring territory.
The Missionary's skill tree is much the same as the Buddhist Monk's.
A player who adopts Christianity will have access to these awesome new units which can devastate an army without an equivalent. The Matchlock Ashigaru give you a large advantage when it comes to damaging morale in the early game and gives you them a long time before other clans can build them through research.
The Nanban trade ship is more of a combat vessel, it's upkeep is four times greater than the standard trade ship and you do not get any income benefits. However it is far more formidable than even most of the traditional Japanese naval vessels, complete with a large crew, devastating cannons and matchlock armed guards it is a terror to face in battle.
The European cannons do untold damage to castle walls and tightly packed enemy formations, able to be built straight from the Nanban quarter without the need for further gunpowder research or a siege works.
On the other hand a Christian Daimyo loses out on the ability to train the formidable monk units. The campaign is likely to play out a little slower than a traditional Shinto Clan's, for the simple reason that you will need to be converting population and constructing Chapels to maintain a reasonable level of happiness before moving your army onwards. A Clan cannot change back to Buddhism once their Daimyo has chosen Christianity until that Daimyo is dead and his heir assumes the ruling responsibility.
Much like the religious unrest can be a major thorn in your side as you spread Christianity throughout Japan, you can also use your religion as a weapon against an enemy clan. Use monks and churches to spread the religion to neighbouring provinces and swoop in once a Christian rebellion takes place. This will of course only work on Buddhist clans.
If you do not want to convert your Daimyo and face the perils of Christianity, drawing the ire of the other Clans, you can simply deny the Nanban request to trade. Alternatively you can aim to reap the benefits of the Nanban port and do your best to manage the spread of Christianity that accompanies it.
For one, you should focus on researching the 'Zen' technology so that you can build Buddhist Monasteries. These buildings convert your population to Buddhism, though it does not offset the spread of Christianity by itself. To do that you'll likely need the next building tier and also a Monk.
By using this method you are getting a decent trade off. On one hand you get access to the Imported Matchlock Ashigaru, who are very valuable early game, especially when defending the walls during a siege. Although they are very expensive by early game standards and also take a long time to recruit for non-Christians; 4 Turns. However you are needing to put Koku into repressing the spread of the religion, to prevent a majority of your population converting and causing religious unrest and perhaps Christian rebellions against your rule.
In summary, choose wisely. The Nanban bring the opportunity of great wealth with them, but possibly at the cost of rebellion and even additional wars if your Daimyo renounces Shinto Buddhism. Shunning the old ways is not without it's own benefits however, early access to cannons and matchlocks provides a valuable battlefield advantage for those brave enough to harness them and either tame or convert to the Christian ways.
Nice article. I still haven't traded with the nanban so I don't know any of this stuff. I prefer the old ways.
Great job. I like to keep my Japan isolated and all shinto though.
It's also worth noting that Matchlock Ashigaru manning the walls during a siege > Bow Ashigaru.
...by a longshot. They do however seem to take more casualties if engaged in melee, so just pull them off the fortifications before the enemy breach.
....was he crafting of Japanese blades superior in durability/strength than the crafting of Eastern Blades then later Western Europe blades in the middle ages?
Plunging the hot blade into water made the blades weaker whereas in the middle east they didn't really use water, they used dead animal/human carcasses. it caused some chemical reaction that really hardened steel. later the Europeans learnt it from the arabs.
Excellent write-up. I've been considering trying this to get the Christian victory Ach but I'm reticent to deal with massive unrest. I think I may just convert the turn before I become shogun.
Lenardius, this won't exactly provide an answer to your question; but I wrote this article awhile back about Japanese forging methods.

Drake's 'More Life' — Would less have been more?
Despite its flaws, this record-breaking album sits atop the Billboard charts

Drake/More Life cover art
After several months of waiting, Drake finally released his playlist "More Life" on March 18, breaking the record for most streams in a week in the U.S. with 385 million streams. The "playlist," which is being sold and packaged as an album, is best described as "Drake being Drake." There is definitely a little bit for everyone, but finding that through 22 songs can be difficult. There are tons of features on "More Life" as well as many different styles and personas of Drake's trying to shine through at different moments, which ultimately leads to the project's downfall.
Similar to Drake's previous album "Views," "More Life" goes beyond just hip-hop and has a heavy Caribbean and dancehall influence. "Passionfruit," "Get It Together," "Madiba Riddim" and "Blem" all feel very similar to "One Dance" and "Too Good" on "Views" by incorporating the island drums and instruments that create a vibe nearly impossible to resist dancing to. While some hip hop heads may hate it, these songs will be radio hits that just about anyone under the age of 24 will have memorized in time for summer — just like "One Dance."
While there is a clear Caribbean element in "More Life," the new British elements shine just as bright. There is a heavy ensemble of British artists mostly unknown to Americans, including grime rappers Skepta and Giggs as well as singer Sampha. Sampha has arguably the best song on the project without a single word from Drake in "4422." The beauty of the song comes the second Sampha begins singing "I'm runnin,' but can't run away/You say you changed/But you never change up." The riffs in his voice throughout the song will give listeners goosebumps.
Skepta is also given a solo space in "Skepta Interlude," where he introduces himself to the many Americans who have never heard of him with the line, "You don't know me, you better get to know me." He follows this line up with a very strong verse lyrically. For many rap fans, it may be hard to overlook the British accent in which it is delivered in, but overall Skepta introduces himself pretty well to the many Drake fans just discovering him.
Giggs might be a different story. Unlike the other British artists previously mentioned, Giggs doesn't have a solo track, instead having two features with Drake on "No Long Talk" and "KMT." In both songs, Giggs has a hard time staying at the same level as Drizzy. In his defense, few can stay at Drake's level, but in "KMT," Giggs's verse deserves to be skipped with annoyingly cheesy lyrics like "Batman, da-na-na-da-na" and "Lookin' all Christmas gift-wrapped, lookin' all turkey." The British influence in "More Life" has its positives but Giggs is not one of them.
There are quite a few non-British artists on "More Life" as well. Young Thug, 2 Chainz, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Kanye West, Quavo and Travis Scott all have a place on "More Life." Many listeners may flock to "Portland" which features Quavo and Travis Scott, but this song feels incomplete. The three on "Portland" never seem to really connect, instead they feel like three separate songs using the same beat. These features feel like they were added for the sake of adding star power to "More Life," but instead they added what feels like an incomplete song that could have been much better.
"Glow" featuring West, ironically feels like one of the more complete collaborations on the project. After Kanye's rant back in November and Drake coming out and saying he's distanced himself from West, it was surprising to get a feature from Yeezy on "More Life," let alone one that feels so natural. Drake and West's parts on the song intertwine and sound as if they took the time to work in the studio together and craft this collaboration.
With so many features on "More Life," it becomes easy to overlook many of the great songs without them. "Free Smoke" and "Gyalchester" provides the confident and aggressive rapping Drake over more 808-heavy beats that many hip hop heads prefer, while "Teenage Fever" and "Since Way Back" provides that softer side that has made Drake both loved and hated. There's just so much content in "More Life" that it becomes hard to take in.
If the Caribbean and British influences on the project were removed (Giggs), or at least scaled back (four Dancehall songs seems excessive), "More Life" wouldn't feel as if it dragged on and the great parts of the album would feel more important. So many things feel like an afterthought on this album, such as amazing features from 2 Chainz and Young Thug on "Sacrifices" with overall astonishing production and great moments from Drake himself.
National Public Radio Music Editor Jacob Ganz recently said on "All Things Considered" that the lengthy album is a tool artists like Drake use to boost album sales. Billboard's formula for streaming services is such that 1,500 listens to a single song equals one album sale.
"If they put an album with 25 songs on it and people press play and listen all the way through, they'll get two and a half times as many album sales," said Ganz, "And that's basically just the way that an artist like Drake, who knows he's going to get a certain number of people just rushing on day of to hit play and listen to everything new that he's got, they're going to sell just a massive number of albums and, again, sales in air quotes."
"More Life" is a perfect example of how sometimes less is more. That being said, there is so much diversity in sound throughout the project that there is at least something most viewers will enjoy. In my opinion, "More Life" earns 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Review & Betting Guide For The Valero Texas Open
Billy Horschel 25/1 © PXG
The PGA Tour makes its way to Texas for the Valero Texas Open, which is played on the demanding 7,435 yard Greg Norman designed TPC San Antonio AT&T Oaks Course, which had some input from Sergio Garcia.
It's a tough track and any player who suffers from claustrophobia will not enjoy the tight narrow tree lined fairways here. If you miss the first and second cuts of rough you are in deep trouble, with thick knee-high native grass just off the second cut of the fairway.

Hey guys, how do you like this build. Anything you would change? Want to play newer games such as Assassins Creed 4 and Bioshock Infinite at 1440p.
Over kill motherboard. I would try for a z87UD3H from gigabyte. With the money saved you can probably get a 770/290 which will probably run 1440p just fine.
Thanks for the feedback. I have changed the motherboard to a GA-Z87X-UD3H and adjusted the case to fit the mother board.
Parts are ordered and will pick them up later this afternoon.
Except I almost had to sign a statdec that you're not me.
We had the exact same comment, and even recommended the same motherboard.
Great minds and all that jazz.


NIS 3.353 billion is Jerusalem's budget. Tel Aviv, which has half as many residents, has about the same.
Success is always surrounded by lots of relatives, whereas failure is usually an orphan. That goes for economic issues as well, such as the new municipality budget which, though far from representing the pledges and promises of the new mayor, is nevertheless considered by both the current head of the Finance Committee and his predecessor to be a "successful budget." "We've done a professional job and prepared a good budget for the new administration," announced city councillor Eli Simhayoff, former head of the committee. "We've done a tremendous job - to make out of the budget that was almost ready and reflected the previous administration's priorities an acceptable tool for the new mayor and his coalition. In the current situation, I think it is a real success," said deputy mayor and new committee head David Hadari of Habayit Hayehudi (The Jewish Home). Since we're talking money, let's start with numbers. NIS 3.353 billion is the total sum available for the (almost) 800,000 residents of the city. Tel Aviv, which has half as many residents, has about the same budget. So where will this additional NIS 180 million go? NIS 10m. will go to the culture department (which jumped overnight to NIS 20m. - better, but still far behind the NIS 105m. of Tel Aviv's culture department); NIS 50m. to welfare; NIS 50m. to education; NIS 40m. to sanitation; about NIS 1m. to the youth movements; NIS 700,000 to the sports associations; and the rest spread among environment, parking, youth at-risk programs, etc. Oh yes, and about NIS 1m. for refurbishing the offices of the new mayor and his staff. And one more thing: Hadari, who represents the religious Zionist sector, managed to add, for a few hundred thousand shekels, a new category to the youth at-risk program: religious Zionist youth at risk, in addition to the already existing Arab and haredi youth at risk. Where is all the extra money coming from? NIS 105m. will come from our arnona (property tax), including an increase of 4.7%; NIS 50m. will come from the government through its ministries, such as welfare and social services and education; and NIS 30m. is the expected income from parking fines. For Hadari, there's still a lot to do. "Jerusalem suffers from being the capital of Israel and the largest city," he says. He goes on to explain that "Other cities do not host government ministries, in addition to so many organizations, such as NGOs and cultural institutions, not to mention the large number of religious institutions which are, by law, exempt from arnona. Regarding the religious institutions, we understand that churches and mosques, as well as synagogues, should not pay arnona. But what happens when a church has a guest house or reception hall? We believe they should pay taxes for them, but the Foreign Ministry warns us not to create a diplomatic incident. Okay, we won't cause trouble, but we expect the government to pay the difference - after all, is it the residents of Jerusalem's fault? Why should they have to bear the burden of these issues?" And by the way, we're talking about a lot of money - some NIS 220m. for the religious institutions, and about twice that amount from ministries that don't bother to pay their municipal taxes. But this administration is ready to save money. For example, the plans to build a fountain at Kikar Safra (estimated cost, NIS 240,000) have been canceled for now. Not a bad idea, considering the lack of rain.

Q: Escaping dollar sign inside nested single quote, backtick, and quote I would like to use Perl for running a shell command on each line of a file. The file contains package names such as firefox.
Here is the call for a single package name; it works:
dpkg-query -W -f='${binary:Package}_${Version}' firefox

If I pipe from a single-line "file" like this it does not work any more:
echo firefox | perl -ne \
  'print `dpkg-query -W -f="${binary:Package}_${Version}" $_` . "\n"'

The output is _\n. So what's the right way to escape these dollars inside those nested quotes such that dpkg-query receives the verbatim string ${binary:Package}_${Version} without a shell or bash interpreting them as "their" variables? I've tried various permutations but to no avail so far. The output should be of the form firefox_59.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1\n.

A: You have a format string within a shell command within a Perl script within a shell command. This level of nesting makes escaping quite difficult, so the best solution is to get rid of unnecessary levels.
Here, the simplest way will be to get rid of the inner shell command. You do not need to run the dpkg command through a shell, and could execute it directly. This will avoid having to handle any kind of shell metacharacters within Perl. For example:
perl -ne 'chomp; system q(dpkg-query), q(-W), q(-f=${binary:Package}_${Version}), $_; print qq(\n)'

This will print the command output directly to STDOUT, without capturing it first. As with using backticks, this doesn't do any error handling. To get the real exit code, you need to $? >> 8. So with proper error handling, the command would look like:
perl -ne '
  chomp;
  @command = (q(dpkg-query), q(-W), q(-f=${binary:Package}_${Version}), $_);
  system(@command) == 0 or die sprintf qq(Command [%s] exited with status %d\n), qq(@command), $? >> 8;
  print qq(\n)'

A: There are two main issues:

*

*You need to somehow get ' into the string in the Perl code, which is already quoted with ' for the shell.

*You need to escape $ in the backticks because those have a special meaning to Perl.

Let's start with the second issue first.
dpkg-query -W -f='${binary:Package}_${Version}' firefox

is the normal command line. Wrapping that in backticks gives us
print `dpkg-query -W -f='\${binary:Package}_\${Version}' $_` . "\n"

in Perl.
Now we want to pass that code to perl on the command line, which necessitates quoting all of this for the shell:
perl -ne 'print `dpkg-query -W -f='\''\${binary:Package}_\${Version}'\'' $_` . "\n"'

If this looks confusing, every ' in the original string becomes '\'' in the quoted version. That's because the first ' ends the single-quoted string we're in, then \' specifies a single escaped quote, then ' starts a quoted section again. (If you look closely, you can kind of see it happen in SO's syntax highlighting.)
There's another simplification we can apply. The incoming line in $_ still contains a trailing newline, which we don't need (or want: it would break the command if there were anything after $_). We can remove it with the -l option, which also makes print output a \n by default:
echo firefox | perl -lne \
  'print `dpkg-query -W -f='\''\${binary:Package}_\${Version}'\'' $_`'

Aging family members often want to hold onto their independence. Plus, the desire to remain in their home for as long as they can becomes more prevalent as they age. In fact, according to a recent AARP study, 92% of seniors aged 65 to 74 and 95% of those age 75+ want to remain in their home as long as possible.
As our loved ones age, they can undergo several physical and psychological changes that can make us wonder if they are still able to care for themselves. However, these changes may be difficult to detect, especially if you live far away. We can't always rely on our loved ones to tell us about their concerns with living alone, because they fear losing their independence and placing a burden on others.
However, there are 7 tell-tale signs that could indicate your elderly loved one might need more help at home. These include: changes in eating habits; confusion over medications; neglected personal hygiene; an untidy home; the inability to manage their finances; the inability to no longer drive safely; and the occurrence of safety and security issues.
Be sure to take the time to observe your loved one the next time you visit to determine if any of these subtle warning signs are occurring, so you can take necessary steps to provide some type of assistance.
Getting enough nutrition is important at any age. However, 15% to 50% of the elderly suffer from malnutrition according to medical studies. A 1992 survey by Ross Laboratories shows that over 20% of seniors skip at least one meal a day. Plus, another study found that 16% of seniors eat less than 1,000 calories a day.
If your elderly family members aren't eating and appear to be losing weight, the Care Callers at Keeping In Touch Solutions can remind your family members to eat when they make their daily call to your loved one. This is one of the benefits of the Keeping In Touch Solutions daily call service.
Check out this article for more details and steps to help your loved safe in their own home.
The ability of your elderly family members to manage their medications can often be a concern. According to The National Center for Health Statistics, more than 76% of seniors over age 60 take at least two prescription drugs; and 37% use more than five.
In this article, there are specific ways you can make sure your loved one is taking their medications on the right schedule.
We all want to look at best and it is one way your loved one feels good about herself and that she is independent and self-sufficient. However, as we age, physical difficulties like arthritis, depression or memory loss can make performing personal hygiene tasks increasingly difficult to do without help.
You may find, for your peace of mind, you need to hire an in-home caregiver to help with your loved ones daily hygiene chores. Just remember, if you or another caregiver is assisting your elderly family members with their personal hygiene, it's important to treat your loved ones with respect and dignity.
For more hints on how to help your loved one be her best, check out this article.
Physical challenges (such as arthritis, heart disease or COPD) make it hard to keep up with regular household chores and depression can make your loved one feel overwhelmed or too tired to keep their home neat and clean. For signs that this is a challenge and tips on helping them lived independently, take a look at this article.
Many people struggle to manage their finances. But parents or grandparents who are suffering from dementia or the early stages of Alzheimer's disease likely have a harder time managing their money, requiring your intervention.
Consider hiring a financial planner, accountant or tax attorney, if your loved one's financial situation is more complex than you or they can handle; or you live too far away to manage their finances. A financial expert can help your parent or grandparent establish a budget, pay bills and manage their accounts, so they can maintain their financial independence.
Check out this article for key signs and action steps to help your loved ones.
Older adults often equate driving with mobility and independence. While many seniors may be capable of driving safely well into their 70s and 80s; people age differently. Several factors, like poor vision, hearing loss, slowed reflexes, physical weakness and dementia, can impair your loved one's ability to drive safely. This is one of toughest conversations to have and it's essential to be respectful when you do. In this article, we share some ways to make that conversation easier.
Home accidents can be a source of injuries and even death for seniors; while thieves and con artists can threaten their security. Therefore, in order for your parent or grandparent to remain independent in their home, improvements and precautions may be required to ensure their safety and security; pay special attention to potential risks in your family member's home.
Your loved ones also can be victimized by con artists and scammers. The elderly are frequent targets of various types of frauds and scams because of their willingness to trust people. According to studies by the Consumer Law Center, in between 56% to 80% of fraudulent telemarketer calls are to older individuals. One scam reportedly tricked an estimated $5 billion from seniors in 24 states.
By taking steps to ensure the safety and security of your loved one, they can continue to remain safe and secure in their home. A daily call from a Keeping in Touch Solutions Care Caller also can give you peace of mind that your loved one is safe and secure at home.
Most adult children don't want to admit that their aging parents or grandparents need extra assistance. However, it's important to recognize these seven warning signs in your loved ones, so you're able to take action to get them the assistance they need to ensure their well-being and help avert any crisis before it occurs.
Share your thoughts and concerns with your elderly family members and see what they say. According to research by the AARP Foundation, the vast majority of age 65 and older say if they need help caring for themselves, they would prefer to receive help in their home.
A daily call from a Keeping In Touch Solutions Care Caller is the best way to make sure your aging loved ones get to stay in the home they love AND provide you peace of mind.
By taking a proactive approach, you can ensure your loved ones can continue living independently for as long as possible while maintaining a high quality of life.

I am a Freelance Writer-Photographer and Novelist. I travel to find inspiration, wherever the distant horizons lead.
Camping is a lot of fun and with a few guidelines and armed with good information, you can avoid problems and mistakes that can dampen your time in the wild. There is a lot to consider that can easily be overlooked.
Create a list of essential camping gear for the trip.
You can find lists in 4WD and camping magazines, and they are very comprehensive because of legalities and avoiding leading people astray. The problem is, an overloaded vehicle can have more trouble in mud, sand and on wet roads. Be smart, be conservative and pack what you NEED for the trip. Assuming you have an average car and plan to perhaps own a capable 4WD later, here is a list of recommended camping gear. I only use a small list of consumables and clothes these days, as the rest is permanently located in the 4WD canopy, and it saves a great deal of time. One golden rule when camping is ALWAYS put things back in the same place so they can always be found.
10 or 20 litre jerry-cans will do. The smaller ones are much easier to carry and store in the boot. Most service stations and parks with barbecue areas have water. In the outback you will need a vehicle capable of carry perhaps 100 litres of water and more in fuel if you are staying away for days. Service stations may say no because of water shortage in low rainfall areas, and buying water in plastic containers is expensive.
Note that water and fuel weigh around a kilogram a litre. Add this to your camping gear and food and the number of people and your car manual will tell you the load carrying capability of your car. My old 4WD can carry about 1000 kilograms because the suspension has been upgraded. Most SUV's do not compare and would not cope. However for simple weekend jaunts the need for fuel and water is nowhere near that of a long outback run.
Keep it simple unless you have a large vehicle with a car fridge-freezer, and dual batteries to power a fridge without draining the main battery. There are some great camping recipes around. I try to take frozen meals that can be heated quickly after a long drive or day of activities. It is quick and food in remote towns is very expensive. Good ole' spaghetti bolognaise is a good energy food and a popular favorite. Pots, pans and utensils can be found at good camping stores, and there are sets that can be packed inside the pots for space saving. Stoves can be compact too, and there is a great range of compact models available - choose your camping store here.
Small tents with small camping pillows, self-inflating air mattresses and sleeping bags to suit the climate are a good option. In Queensland you might not need one rated to minus 10 degrees and the same applies for the south - in the High Country your warm climate bag might leave you frozen like Walt Disney. Camping stores have light weight blankets for early spring, winter, and late autumn. A claw hammer is a must for knocking pegs in and removing them afterwards. Swags are great if you have the room because they take less time to roll out, or knock in 4 to 6 pegs. When it comes to speed, few options beat a 4WD with a canopy and swags. Shade for summer is necessary as you might want to be close to the car where shade might be minimal. Tarps are inexpensive but free standing shade covers are best for longer stays, and roll out awnings can be purchased and attached to 4WD canopies or wagon bodies.
Does you car overheat or the tyres go down slowly and you are too busy to fix the issues? A long highway run might see you beside the road away from towns in the midday heat of 38 degrees. Fix problems before going away, and test the repair is adequate, this applies to problems such as a car overheating, because it can be more a more involved repair.
Take hats, suncream, matches, coats for all seasons (sometimes it snows in the high country in summer) and walking boots for long walks in rough terrain. Your feet will hurt less. Buy day-packs and water bottles to take on ALL walks. Remember clothes, towels and toiletries, including toilet roll. Many camp grounds have toilets - be self sufficient and you will never have to worry about anything. When it comes to toilets, Portaloos make life much easier, and the accompanying pop-up tents are quick and simple to erect. Find free and cheap camping across Australia here.
A GPS, compass, and maps are all important, and don't expect reception for google maps. Read about where you are going and your state's park's sites will tell you about the climate and seasonal changes, and camping. 4WD magazines will tell you more about everything. If you are heading far away from major towns, search online to find out where service stations are located. This is more of an issue in the outback, but winding mountain roads can make distances greater than expected and fuel stops can be hard to find. Buy maps online here.
A basic tool set with open end and ring spanners, pliers and screw drivers will save you from dramas, especially if something simple like battery terminals vibrate loose on rough roads. Also, loose and leaking radiator hoses will be less of an issue. A fairly, capable car battery-operated tyre pump is a good idea too.
Do not camp under tree-branches, particularly river gums in areas such as the Murray River. They are known as widow-makers because of the number of people who have died in the past from branches that fell with little warning. As the sun lowers in the afternoon, shade will swing well away from trees and reach tents that are over 10 metres away. Don't camp in dry watercourses, an outback flood a hundred or more kilometres away can drown you in metres of water as you sleep. It is a rare event, but possible. Those sandy banks under a tree may look tempting, but look for the stain of high water levels metres up tree trunks, they are obvious when you look for them.
Snakes love long grass, and if you must walk there, take a long stick and thump it as you walk, the extra ground vibrations will help scare them off, and proceed slowly. Give them time to leave. As a general rule, observe and enjoy wildlife and let them be - they prefer to be left alone. Take a first-aid kit and know how to use it. A bandage tourniquet may save a life in the event of a snakebite.
Do not under-estimate the sun and think you will be fine without a hat or suncream all day. You might be surprised if there is little shade, just how quickly sunstroke can set in. It takes days to recover.
My next camping articles will be more in-depth, with more about off road driving and vehicle types and places to go. When you have a good grasp of the 'how-tos' have the time of your life in this great land.
Why? If you are planning your first camping trip, a few 'how to's' will make it more sucessful.
When: Depending on the weather and climate, camping can be done all year round.
Where: There are many possibilites for camping across Australia.
Cost: See you major camping stores for the equipment to suit your individual needs.
A good list Andrew. Although camping is a little too much back to nature for me it can be a good way for a family to have an affordable holiday.


One look at a Miner's Humpy will demonstrate how the prospectors during the Australian Gold Rush learned from the indigenous population.
Fossikers who travelled to the area to try their luck moved on when they did not strike gold. Most preferred to live in a bark gunya made from local timber and bark, which could be easily dismantled, or simply left to rot back to nature. The Miner's Humpy differed in that it would often have a single sheet of corrugated iron either as a wall or part of the roof. This was because the miner may have had a single sheet of iron on the bed of their wheelbarrow, to increase the surface area. The camp bed and table were put together with rough cut logs. The stretcher part of the bed was of strong Hessian, usually from an opened up potato sack.
The role of Aboriginal trackers had been well established from the early 1800's to track down convicts and bushrangers. This became very important with the gold rush and the increase in felonies. Most famous of the Aboriginal trackers were Sir Watkin Wayne who tracked the notorious Clarke Brothers and George Emmit who tracked Ned Kelly.
A few married the prospectors, or set up house together providing bushtucker for survival. It is important to remember that the Aboriginal population had been reduced from an estimated 300,000 to 60,000 in the first hundred years of European settlement, as a result of introduced diseases and alcohol as well as the conflicts between settlers and Aborigines.
Many of the names of settlements, villages etc are in the indigenous language. Some are self explanatory, such as Eurobodalla - The Land Of Many Waters. Others have humorous aspect. Mogo means Stone Axe. The stone axe was a very valuable tool for the Koorie people, They named the area Mogo when they saw prospectors breaking up stones with pick-axes.

Maxx Leeuwarden was een onderdeel van het hoogwaardig openbaar vervoer in Leeuwarden dat werd uitgevoerd door Connexxion van 1 januari 2008 tot en met 8 december 2012. Op 9 december 2012 heeft Arriva het openbaar vervoer in Leeuwarden overgenomen, net zoals ze dat voor 1 januari 2008 had gedaan.

Leeuwarden is na Almere en Zwolle de derde stad waar het Maxx-concept ooit is toegepast.

Van maandag tot en met zaterdag reed er ieder kwartier een bus door Bilgaard, Vrijheidswijk, Camminghaburen, Aldlân en Nijlân. In de wijken Westeinde en Zuiderburen rijdt er elk half uur een bus. 's Avonds en op zondag rijden de meeste lijnen één keer per uur. Op koopzondagen rijden er vaker bussen.

Materieel
Maxx Leeuwarden beschikte over:
 Een aantal Berkhof Ambassador bussen voor de meeste lijnen;
 Enkele VDL Procity bussen voor de rustige lijnen / ritten;
 Gelede Mercedes-Benz Citaro bussen voor lijn 12.

De Berkhof Ambassadors waren afkomstig uit diverse (voormalige) Connexxion-gebieden, met name uit de Zaanstreek. Dit zijn vooral bussen uit de 8380 - 8408 serie.
Ook de gelede Citaro's zijn afkomstig van de buslijnen in de Zaanstreek.

Tot halverwege 2011 reden er ook gelede Berkhof Duvedec-bussen op lijn 9 en 12. Deze zijn inmiddels buiten dienst gesteld. (Hiervoor zijn de gelede Citaro's in de plaats gekomen.) Ook reed er een nieuwe VDL Citea CLF (wagenparknummer 3327) op de stadsdienst van Leeuwarden. Deze is halverwege 2011 uit de dienst gehaald.

Lijnennet
Maxx Leeuwarden kende 17 stadslijnen. Het basisnet bestond uit de lijnen 1 t/m 9, 11 en 12. Het aanvullend net bestond uit de 3x-lijnen. In het Arriva-tijdperk voor 2008 werd gebruikgemaakt van de namen sternet (lage nummers) en servicenet (hoge 3x-nummers).

De volgende lijnen reden een deel van de dag bij het eindpunt als elkaar door:

Preparing for a new baby name can be quite an exciting yet challenging process. It can also be quite emotional as this can be the best gift and will be one of the thing that identifies the child in life. People have been known to form opinions based on names themselves. The name can also mold the personality of the child. When you're having trouble, a good place to start can be to find them a meaningful name.
Choosing a unisex name is said to be quite the easy compromise That way you don't have to come up with a boy and a girl name. It is rarely done however since a lot of parents nowadays prefer to know the gender of the baby beforehand. Unisex names in the long run can be quite clever and even stylish too. Sometimes, however, gender confusion can upset the kid. Choose unisex names like Mackenzie, Tracy, or Morgan to a girl. It seems that women can accept having a masculine sounding names better than for men to have feminine sounding names. Girls that have names like Samantha or Maxine will even go for short forms such as Sam or Max.
These names can come from a singer, movie star, sport player, politician or any important public figure in that period. These would be names like Shirley, Marilyn, and even Jacquelyn. You can even go to classic literature to find old-fashion names.
Meanings become less important when it comes to vintage names, since the object is usually secondary. Girls name have more of a trend to fads and boys are said to change less. For names that are old-fashioned look towards your grandparents, great grandparents, books, and movies from the era you want the name itself from.
Choosing a name from ancestry can be a way of showing pride in heritage and wanting to give your child that passing. Culture names can also be a way of giving a child a name that is not very common but without any negative associations. Look at other languages for different spelling of the name if you want or for different spellings of common names. Using a foreign language version of a common name can result in a name that sounds distinct and familiar. For example the name Mattias is the Swedish version of Matthew.
Find out the name of your grandparents or ancestors. Use family names or their middle names if you want, or even the maiden name of a grandmother. That can be a way of giving the child a unique name while also coming up with the heritage and ties of family. Naming a baby with the name of someone special in your life that adore or credit highly is quite the common practice. This can also become the highest form of compliment.
Hollywood has been known to set standards when it comes to baby names. They can anywhere from classic to completely made up. Strange has also been the word used to describe it as well. Frank Zappa even named two of his children Moon Unit and Dweezil. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise named their children Isabella Jane and Connor Anthony. Madonna named her kids Rocco and Lourdes. These are out there on the spectrum. A lot of them like to be different, and gives names that are definitely not common.
Names with religious backgrounds are also quite popular. Michael is said to be one of the most popular boy names and other names will include Jacob, Matthew, Ethan, Muhammad, Abdullah and Joshua. Popular girl religious names are said to include Aisha, Alya, Hannah, Samantha, Rebecca, and Abigail.
Making a name up is coming more in fashion in this day and age. However one must be careful when doing it. Job discrimination can come about when one has a made up name that is extremely unusual. The child can be subject to frequent mispronunciation by teachers and friends. Creating a name that is new can give the child a strong feeling of identity which comes with using a word not typically taken to be a name. Check dictionaries and other sources to see if the name you made have a hidden meaning that can be a word that is obscure and could embarrass the child.
The name given to your child can affect their personality, identity, and behavior throughout their entire life. When you choose a strange name it can make the child a target for bullying or teasing sometimes. While you might using the name to gain some popularity or give the kid something different to know them by, they can still be subjected to prejudice. Some children will even want to change the name as adults or just use initials.
Giving a name that is common can be a downfall as well. When you select a popular name for a kid such as Brittany, Ashley, or Dylan it is quite likely they will have several classmates with the same name. While your child might not feel anything wrong with that others may feel it is hard to establish their own identity. They might feel that they do not fit in if they have the same name. Try to do things that make them fell like their own self.
Say the name out loud and see if it sounds good with the last name. It can take time for you to get use to things. Avoid names that can be turned into horrible nicknames. Make sure the name does not rhyme with words that are used as insults.
Try saying the name out loud. Make sure it sounds good with your last name. It may take some time for you to get used to it. Avoid names that can easily be turned into taunting nicknames. See if the name you like rhymes with any words likely to be used in an insult. For example you do not want Bart to be used as a nickname for Bartholomew.
Look to see if the initials can be spelt into anything that can be embarrassing. There are plenty of legends of children named something quite embarrassing by parents that are unwitting. The child's name is with them for life so pick something they will be proud to have.
Coming up with names for kids does not have to be difficult at all, it can be fun and educational at the same time too. Why not check out Mum Zone's Baby Names Calculator to discovering different name origins that are fun and meaningful! Even if you have already picked a name it is still fun to learn the origins of baby name meanings as well! It is sometimes that one can do for hours on end at a time too!

No Spark: An Analysis of Val and Euan's Relationship in Possession
July 29, 2019 July 11, 2019 by sampler
No Spark: An Analysis of Val and Euan's Relationship in Possession The fictional poet of A.S. Byatt's Possession, Randolph Henry Ash. muses in his short poem. "And is love then more//Than the kick galvanic" (297). Byatt includes this poem at the start of the single chapter in her novel that accounts—from a first-hand perspective—Ash's secret affair with fictional poetess Christabel LaMotte. Roland, an Ash scholar, muses over his own "kick galvanic" with fellow scholar Maud Bailey: "the stunning blow like that emitted by the Moray eel from under its boulders to unsuspecting marine explorers" (162). Byatt purposefully parallels the two love stories as they unfold to the reader, thereby highlighting many of the similarities. Unrelenting pursuance of both relationships led to a lot of harm to much harm to the other characters of the novel: Ash and Christabel's relationship arguably led to Blanche's suicide. However the other couple that emerges in her novel, Val and Euan, seemingly have a less relevant and purposeful love story. Byatt includes Val and Euan's unique love story to isolate the "kick galvanic" as the reason for the deleterious effect the other characters' relationships have. Byatt establishes Val's hesitation to become involved with Euan to convey their relationship's lack of the "kick galvanic." Euan Macintyre is first witnessed in the story escorting Val back home to Roland: "The four feet advanced and retreated, retreated and advanced, the male feet insisting, the female feet resisting, parrying. Roland opened the door and went into the area, fired mostly by what always got him, pure curiosity" (139). Byatt describes the body language of the emerging couple to juxtapose Euan's relentless pursuance with Val's tentative retreat. Moreover, Byatt specifies that when Roland moves to receive the two he is primarily motivated by curiosity as opposed to jealousy or any other supposed emotion. However, since he is not motivated exclusively by curiosity those other emotions are still presumably present albeit to a lesser degree. The interaction continues: "Euan MacIntyre leaned over and gravely extended a hand downwards. There was something powerful about him, Pluto delivering Persephone at the gate of the underworld" (139). Pluto, being the God of the Underworld, is analogous with power. Persephone, victim to misfortune, was unwillingly banished to the Underworld for six months of every year. The mythological allusion creates the comparison between Persephone and Val, thereby emphasizing Val's reluctance. Byatt also manages to uniquely characterize Pluto, and thereby Euan, by depicting a scene of not conventionally imagined: Pluto, as per the agreement, amiably "delivering Persephone at the gate of the underworld" back to her family every year at the conclusion of his six months. Byatt emphasizes that Val and Euan's newfound relationship does not negatively affect any other character. Ultimately, Val decides to fully commit herself to her new relationship with Euan. With him she has a very positive experience: "Val flung her arms around Euan's neck. Val had not done anything that was simply designed for pleasure, she thought, since she could remember" (447). Their relationship is portrayed as full of passion—something which was undeniably lacking with her and Roland. Val's recent life was full of what she described herself as "menial" tasks, and therefore, it is unsurprising that she had for a while not engaged in fulfilling, pleasuring activities. To confirm Val's full transition to Euan, Byatt includes the following conversation: "Val had complained to Euan, who had said, 'But you didn't want him, did you, it was over?' Val had cried, 'How do you know that?' and Euan had said, 'Because I've been watching you and assessing the evidence for weeks now, it's my job'" (449). Euan's conviction conciliates the fleetingly uncertain Val. Furthermore, through Euan's observations, Byatt provides the implicative evidence that Val is, in fact, no longer in love with Roland. The seemingly fully apathetic Roland notices these changes later on when he meets the couple at the White Hart restaurant: Roland stared at sleek Val who had the unmistakable glistening self-pleasure of sexual happiness. "It wasn't necessary. I thought if you could vanish, I could. So I did." "I'm glad." "I'm going to marry Euan" "I'm glad." "I hope not altogether glad." "Of course not. But you look—" "And you. Are you happy?" (469) This conversation, naturally slightly awkward, also reveals an unexpected agreeableness between the former couple. Despite the fact that Roland agrees that he is not "altogether glad" upon news of their engagement, he is primarily happy for Val. She interrupts his foreseeable compliment to convey her genuine concern for his happiness. Her justification of "I thought if you could vanish, I could," indicates that she was simply, after being considerably uncertain and cautious, reciprocating his actions, thereby implying that she would never take the initiative to do something so potentially damaging of her own accord. Her decisions regarding Euan did not have any negative effect on any other character. In fact, the couple proved to have high utility when it came time for the stake-out. The unsuspecting Cropper witnesses two individuals who he assumes constitute an anonymous, irrelevant couple: "She caressed her partner's hair, evidently in that obsessive and compulsive state that excludes, for brief periods of human lives, all consciousness of other observers" (534). The situational irony of Cropper's assumption reveals that, in truth, the couple is highly "conscious" of their observer. This "obsessive and compulsive state," which, due to the quote's axiom-like phrasing, is conveyed as an unavoidable occurrence is not only inapplicable to Euan and Val in that moment but also is an inapplicable characterization of their love story thus far. However, it holds very true in the case of Ash and LaMotte as well as in the case of Roland and Maud; the presence of the "galvanic kick" is the distinction. The lack of the "galvanic kick" with Val and Euan enabled their relationship to not have a harmful effect on other characters in the story. In the case of Ash and LaMotte as well as in the case of Roland and Maud, harm is done to other characters in the story. Perhaps, Byatt means to discredit the all-consuming love triggered by the "galvin kick," and advise against the "obsessive and compulsive state" and being "unsconscious" to the situation of others. The one relationship that she presents which does not have harm to any other individuals, does not have this "all-consuming" nature either.

Killer Says He Murdered Reputed Mafia Boss to Protect Trump
Anthony Comello, 24, murdered alleged mob boss Frank Cali because he became convinced he was part of a deep-state conspiracy against President Trump, his lawyer alleges

Anthony Comello was arrested for the murder of reputed mob boss Frank Cali.

When alleged mob boss Frank Cali was brutally gunned down in Staten Island last March, people automatically assumed that it was a Mafia-related killing by a young upstart eager to advance in the Gambino crime family, or a harbinger of a coming Mafia war. That narrative was significantly complicated, however, when details emerged that Anthony Comello, the 24-year-old man accused of murdering Cali, was alleged to not have had any Mafia ties at all, but did have a relationship with Cali's niece, of which the Mob boss apparently did not approve. Court documents filed today shed further light on Comello's motive: that Comello may have been driven to kill Cali by his belief in QAnon, a wide-ranging conspiracy theory that alleges the existence of a deep-state conspiracy targeting President Donald Trump.
According to new court documents, Comello's lawyer, Robert C. Gottlieb, alleges that Comello had no intention of murdering Cali when he arrived at his home in the Staten Island neighborhood of Todt Hill. Instead, he planned to arrest him, as evidenced by the fact that police found handcuffs in his car after he was taken into custody. Comello had fallen deep into the rabbit hole of internet forums speculating about the existence of a left-wing deep state conspiracy. "Mr. Comello became certain that he was enjoying the protection of President Trump himself, and that he had the president's full support," Mr. Gottlieb wrote. Gottlieb is hoping that this argument will convince the court that his client is not guilty by reason of mental defect, and that the court will decline to prosecute him on murder charges.

A conspiracy theory stemming from the anonymous message board forums 4chan, QAnon alludes to "Q," an anonymous poster claiming to be a high-ranking government official with security clearance who has knowledge of a deep-state conspiracy against President Trump. Q has alleged, among other things, that Democratic establishment figures such as Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, and Barack Obama are members of a child sex trafficking ring, and that the Robert Mueller investigation into Trump's alleged collusion with Russia is actually a front for investigating the ring. QAnon believers look forward to the "Storm," or the day when Trump exposes those colluding against him and throws them in Guantanamo Bay, and frequently analyze Trump's rallies and speeches for hints, or "breadcrumbs," referring to the Storm. (There is no evidence to support any of these allegations.)
According to Gottlieb, Comello became deeply obsessed with QAnon-related message boards shortly after Trump was elected, and became convinced that he was a vigilante working on Trump's behalf. Earlier this year, he arrived at Gracie Mansion to hold suspected deep state member Mayor Bill DeBlasio under citizen's arrest; he also approached U.S. federal marshals to ask them for their assistance in arresting two Democratic officials that are frequently associated with QAnon, Reps. Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff. (The federal marshals declined.) "Mr. Comello's support for 'QAnon' went beyond mere participation in a radical political organization," Mr. Gottlieb wrote. "It evolved into a delusional obsession."
This is not the first time QAnon believers have been linked to violence. Last year, Reddit banned a QAnon subreddit after it had been deluged with violent threats from supporters; earlier this year, a 22-year-old man accused of attempting to burn down a pizzeria associated with Pizzagate, a related far-right conspiracy theory, was found to have reposted a QAnon video hours before the incident.

About the team coming off the loss to Portland...
"We are coming out of a tough trip, a very tough road trip to play Portland that generated a bit of fatigue but they (RGVFC) also played on Saturday and they are also a team that is going to travel. So when it comes to the fatigue factor it is going to be very similar. When it comes to the last game, Portland overall and especially in the second half it is not a result that we deserved so the guys are a little bit frustrated that we were not able to get out of the Portland game with at least a point. "
About RGVFC?
"Now we have to answer here, RGV is the team at the moment that is the hottest probably in the USL. They are six games now without losing, they are a team that has a lot of quality going forward. They have a midfield that is dynamic and can create problems and two wingers, especially Escalante and Rodriguez that are very fast, good 1v1 and good getting in behind. This is a game that is going to stretch us a lot and this is a game that we are going to need to be very focused if we want to get out with the three points."
Getting players back?
"Dane (Kelly) should be back if not for the game away against Vancouver, then the next one at home. He is in a very good position to come back. We also have Aryton that has gotten involved in a very good way with the club. He's adapted quick and I think Aryton could give us a couple minutes in the game. He should be in the 18 and we will see how it goes from there. It is important that we give all of these guys games and we still have twenty games left, we've only done one third of the season and I really believe the team is just going to grow from here."
About the Alec Kann loan...
"Yes, he is a goalkeeper with many great qualities and a good human being and a good athlete it is important for the first team to keep him fresh. It is important to keep your keepers fresh and ready to go and when you a B team in your backyard it allow you to use them, especially when then are at home. This is a good thing, not only for us but also a good thing for Alec."

"Use of a Social and Character Development Program to Prevent Substance Use, Violent Behaviors, and Sexual Activity Among Elementary-School Students in Hawaii"
Fifth graders who participated in a school-based social-and-emotional development program, called Positive Action, for one to four years were about half as likely to engage in substance abuse, violent behavior, or sexual activity as those who did not take part in the program, according to a study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a component of the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Md.
The study, which will appear in the August issue of the American Journal of Public Health, was conducted in 20 public elementary schools in Hawaii. Schools were randomly assigned to implement Positive Action, which consists of daily 15-to-20 minute interactive lessons on topics such as getting along with others.
In 5th grade, 976 students responded to a written questionnaire that asked about their use of harmful substances, including tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs; involvement in violent behaviors, and voluntary sexual activity. The total number of students reporting that they had engaged in any of these behaviors was small, but students exposed to the Positive Action program were about half as likely to report engaging in any of these behaviors as students not exposed to the program.
"This study provides compelling evidence that intervening with young children is a promising approach to preventing drug use and other problem behaviors," said Dr. Nora Volkow, the director of NIDA, in a statement.

From Barbie to Guardians of the Galaxy 3: the 16 most anticipated movies of 2023
Movies Buchanon Live Style Monday 02nd January 2023 05:31 PM
Movies like Top Gun: Maverick, Jurassic World: Dominion and, more recently, Avatar: The Shape of Water they recorded huge box office figures in 2022.
That's the good news for moviegoers and the movie industry. The bad news is that viewership numbers for the year gone are still nowhere near pre-pandemic levels.
Could 2023 be the year the industry triumphantly declares that things are back to pre-Covid?
behold a selection of 16 titles that will be released in 2023 (in chronological order of release) and that could be crucial in dictating the speed at which cinema recovers.
Jalyn Hall and Danielle Deadwyler as Emmett Till and Mamie Till-MobleyUniversal
Based on shocking true events that occurred in the American South in the 1950s, till is the story of 14-year-old Emmett Till, who was kidnapped and murdered after being accused of whistling at a white woman.
It shows how Emmett's mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, faced an almost impossible struggle trying to get justice for his dead son.
Danielle Deadwyler, who plays Mamie, delivers a powerful performance that could well earn Oscar recognition.
(Theatrical release: January 2023).
Brendan Fraser sounds like a candidate to win the Oscar for best actor for his role in "The Whale"A24
Actor Brendan Fraser is on the horizon for an Oscar for his extraordinary performance in one of the most unusual and moving stories of the year.
Fraser plays a morbidly obese teacher living in a tiny apartment desperately trying to reunite with his estranged daughter.
The film has been acclaimed at various film festivals and is expected to be a contender for multiple awards. The rest of the cast, which includes Hong Chau, Sadie Sink, and Samantha Morton, are very supportive.
(Theatrical release: January 2023 / in the United States it was released in December).
Cate Blanchett in her performance as the conductor, Lydia TárUniversal
Cate Blanchett has not stopped receiving awards and critical acclaim for her portrayal of the composer and conductor Lydia Tár, a musician who has reached the top of her profession.
But things change when unexpected pressures begin to affect his life and work.
Blanchett has already been the recipient of two Academy Awards. She won her first Oscar in 2005 and her second, nine years later, in 2014.
So, at least mathematically, nine years later it is set to win the prestigious award again in a few months. And it probably will.
Gabrielle LaBelle plays the role of Steven Spielberg when he was youngENTERTAINMENT ONE
This is the most personal film of Steven Spielberg's half-century career. It is a fictional version of his own childhood, in which he grew up in a broken family.
It shows his sometimes difficult relationship with his parents. He explains how as a child she fell in love with cinema. And how that obsession turned into the career that has already given him two Oscars as a director, and could give him a third with this film.
(Theatrical release: February 2023).
Olivia Colman and Micheal Ward in a scene from "Empire of Light"SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES
The Sam Mendes Love Letter is set in a small seaside movie theater during the 1980s and stars Oscar winner Olivia Colman as the film's director.
When a new ticket salesman is hired, played by Bafta winner Micheal Ward, the two find an unlikely connection. Mendes's story explores everything from romance to racism to misogyny and mental health.
And Colman, as always, is being talked about as a contender for acting honors at awards season.
(Theatrical release: March 2023).
This is the last film in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" saga for the current teamMarvel
"I am Groot." "I am Groot." Pause. "I am Groot."
Translation, if you need it :eThe galaxy's favorite mismatched group of heroes returns to attempt a mission that this time, it is strongly rumored, will put a member of the team under mortal threat.
Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Pom Klementieff and Dave Bautista join Will Poulter, whose character Adam Warlock was first hinted at in a post-credits sequence in Volume 2.
(Theatrical release: May 2023).
This budding project has on paper, perhaps, the strongest pedigree of 2023 movies.
Award-winning director Martin Scorsese directs the laureates Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. As well as (another possible future Oscar winner) Brendan Fraser.
This is a 1920s drama that follows the investigation of the murders of a series of wealthy people in Osage County, Oklahoma, after the discovery of large oil fields.
(Theatrical release: May 2023 / to be confirmed).
This CGI-animated sequel to 2018's "A New Universe" revisits Miles Morales traveling between alternate universes.
In addition to developing his relationship with Gwen Stacy's Spider-Woman, he also comes into contact with a larger group of Spider-People, including an older Spider-Man, a British Spider-Man, and a pregnant Spider-Woman.
Shameik Moore returns to voice Miles. He is joined by Hailee Steinfeld, Issa Rae, and Daniel Kaluuya.
(Theatrical release: June 2023).
Harrison Ford as Indiana JonesLUCASFILM
While the films in the original Indiana Jones trilogy are considered by many to be classics, the fourth, "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is known as a horrible flop.
And that film's alleged plan to hand over the baton to Indy's rediscovered son, Shia LaBoeuf's Mutt, appears to have been abandoned.
On this occasion, Harrison Ford as Indy is joined by new actors like Toby Jones, Antonio Banderas and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. As well as the return of John Rhys-Davies.
The seventh installment in the "Mission Impossible" franchise promises the usual mix of outlandish sets, high-octane chases and sphincter-squeezing stunts.
We assume that Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt Will Fight Again to Save the World of some kind of nefarious global plot.
The first trailers show the expected locations. And supported by a roster of returning characters.
(Theatrical release: July 2023).
Ryan Gosling plays Ken, Barbie's love interestWARNER BROS
The first images of the Barbie movie almost broke the internet. And it's hard to think about a more perfect cast than Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling like the fashion dolls that have been the stars of the Mattel line for decades: Barbie and Ken.
It's been billed as a romantic comedy, but other than that, plot details are rather sparse.
Whatever the plot, audiences are already eagerly awaiting what promises to be a visual feast of primary colors.
Actor Cillian Murphy stars as the "father of the atomic bomb"UNIVERSAL PICTURES
The latest epic from director Christopher Nolan is the story of physicist J Robert Oppenheimer, often nicknamed the father of the atomic bomb.

Cillian Murphy plays Oppenheimer and Emily Blunt to his wife, Kitty.
The first movie of Dune ambitiously self-proclaimed "Dune: Part One".
But that confidence was confirmed when audiences flocked to what turned out to be the cinematic equivalent of the much-coveted spice of planet arrakis.
This film will broadly narrate the second half of the original novel by author Frank Herbert.
Timothée Chalamet returns as Paul Atreides, as does Zendaya as Chani. Florence Pugh is Princess Irulan.
(Theatrical release: November 2023).
Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler in "The Ballad of Songbirds and Serpents"LIONSGATE
The original film quartet of Hunger Games ("The Hunger Games") followed the rise of Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence.
