After a quick three-game road trip to Inland Empire, the Storm return to The Diamond for a weeklong homestand that begins first with a four-game series against the Lancaster JetHawks. The JetHawks, Class-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, finished the 2018 season at an even 70-70 record and making the playoffs for the seventh straight year. After getting in as a wild card, they were defeated in the first round of the postseason by the eventual champion, Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. Despite a successful 2018 campaign, the Storm gave the JetHawks a run for their money all season long. The overall head-to-head matchup ended up tied 14-14, with each team winning nine games at their respective home ballparks. This season, the Storm have begun the head-to-head series on the right foot with a 2-1 series lead and 25 games remaining.
MORE ABOUT THE JETHAWKS: The franchise has been a staple in Lancaster since 1996, when it was originally a part of the Seattle Mariners organization (1993-2000). Since then, it has alternated franchises including Arizona Diamondbacks (2001-2006), Boston Red Sox (2007-2008), Houston Astros (2009-2016) and now the Colorado Rockies (2017-Present). The team plays at The Hangar which opened in 1996 and at that time was known as Lancaster Municipal Stadium. Notable JetHawk alumni include Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, Dallas Keuchel, George Springer, Jonathan Villar, Dan Uggla, Daniel Nava and Carlos Gonzalez. The team has six league championships: most recently in 2012 and 2014.
4/24 – Mason Thompson - RHP
4/22 – Lucas Gilbreath - LHP
4/23 – Ryan Rolison - LHP
As the Storm continue a seven-game homestand, they will welcome back the Inland Empire 66ers to Pete Lehr Field for the second time this season. The 66ers, Class-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels have struggled to keep maintain at least a .500 record and keep up with tough South division opponents. In their first eight meetings, the Storm found striking success with a 6-2 record, which is a huge benefit especially since the Storm open up the season facing only their southern division opponents until the middle of May. In the most recent series in Lake Elsinore, the Sixers fell in three of the four games which occurred during the opening homestand. The Storm offense stayed red-hot, outscoring the 66ers 24-9, while the pitching staff combined to toss 39 strikeouts and record an ERA of just 2.25.
MORE ABOUT THE 66ERS: After missing the playoffs for a fifth consecutive season last year, the 66ers are having troubles hitting their stride early on in the season. As the team struggles out of the gates, the 66ers currently rank near the bottom of the entire league in many offensive categories including batting average (Last - .192), runs scored (Last – 31) and hits (6th – 76). On a high note, Angels No. 11 Prospect (according to MLBPipeline.com) Chris Rodriguez has pitched well in limited action with a 0.00 ERA and six strikeouts in five-and-one-third innings pitched.
4/26 – Oliver Ortega - RHP
4/27 – Travis Herrin - RHP
4/28 – Cooper Criswell - RHP
As we enter the fourth week of the 2019 season, the Lake Elsinore Storm has featured some of the San Diego Padres brightest talents in the farm system. Southpaw starter MacKenzie Gore continues to shine in the California League as the San Diego No. 2 Prospect (according to MLBPipeline.com) picked up Pitcher of the Week honors from April 4 – 14. During that time, Gore went 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 10 innings pitched. Catcher Luis Campusano who entered the season as the Padres No. 18 Prospect according to MLBPipeline.com took home Player of the Week honors for his offensive achievements from April 4 – 14. The Augusta, GA native began the 2019 season on a 10-game hitting streak where he averaged .474 (18-38) with a home run, seven runs batted in and nine runs scored. Before heading to the injured list with a head contusion, Campusano lead the entire California League in batting average (.439), on-base percentage (.510) and hits (18). On the mound in relief, closer Evan Miller has been near perfect in four appearances to open the season. In six-and-one-third innings pitched, the LaPorte, IN native has yielded zero runs, one hit, while striking out six. He is also perfect in save situations (three-for-three), which has him on top of the league in that category.

LANCASTER JETHAWKS: As the Lancaster JetHawks finished last season with a first-round exit in the postseason against the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, they hope a fresh roster will get them over the hump this season. Shortstop Ryan Vilade has been the featured prospect on the roster as he is currently ranked No. 7 in the Colorado Rockies organization according to MLBPipeline. The Stillwater, Oklahoma native has begun the season with a .318 batting average with eight runs batted in and 10 runs scored in just 12 games. For the pitching staff, southpaw starter Lucas Gilbreath has been a bright spot for the rotation. In his first two starts, he has yet to factor into the decision but has a low ERA of 3.12, which is superb for a high-offensive ballpark of The Hangar. The Minnesota Golden Gopher also has 13 strikeouts while opposing batters are hitting just .188 in eight-and-two-thirds innings pitched.
INLAND EMPIRE 66ERS: In the first eight head-to-head matchups, infielder Jordan Zimmerman has been the best at the dish against Storm pitching. In seven games, the Michigan State alum is batting .273 (6-for-22) with two doubles and four walks. Outfielder Kevin Williams Jr. has also packed a punch in the middle of the order with two home runs and five runs batted in seven games versus Lake Elsinore. Starting pitcher Chris Rodriguez, who is the featured prospect on the roster as he is currently ranked No. 9 in the Los Angeles Angels organization according to MLBPipeline. After missing the 2018 due to a stress reaction in his back, the Angels still praise the young 20-year old's pitching arsenal as well as velocity. In two games against the Storm, Rodriguez has dominated with six strikeouts in five-and-one-thirds innings, while also yielding just a .118 opposing batting average.


Figure 7-1 shows my version of the StringBot. It's a strange-looking device, but it does work. If you ever want to have some fun, try showing your bot design to others who are unfamiliar with it. Ask them "What do you think it does?" and be ready for some surprising answers! I showed this to a couple of people and the most surprising response was this: "How does it roll along the floor with only one wheel? The smaller wheels don't look like they'll help hold it up." Just goes to show that you cannot judge a book (or a bot, in this case) by its cover.


The Grand Seiko SBGA231G from their Sport Collection is not the first model that comes to mind when thinking about their watches. Perhaps it is the very competitive market for diving watches, whereas in the market of all-rounders, the Grand Seikos seem to do pretty well. So why is it that we don't see not much talk about the Grand Seiko SBGA231G or SBGA229G for example? Is it because its looks are too close to those diving watches from Switzerland? Let's have a closer look at the SBGA231.
The SBGA231G is the 'Grand Seiko' update of the 'Seiko' SBGA031. This means that after Seiko and Grand Seiko were separated two years ago, all models received a new dial that only indicates 'Grand Seiko' instead of the double naming ('Seiko' and 'Grand Seiko') they had before. The SBGA231G is the titanium counterpart of the stainless-steel Grand Seiko SBGA229G (formerly SBGA029G).
Let me start by telling you that I am not a fan of titanium. It is one of the reasons I did not buy the famous Grand Seiko 'Snowflake' SBGA211. It is too light-weight for me, as I like a watch to have some presence (in weight) on my wrist. That said, with 137 grams, this SBGA231G isn't extremely light-weight either. The steel reference SBGA229G weighs 201 grams, so that is quite a chunk for sure. As a comparison, a Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN weighs approx. 155 grams. On the wrist, the titanium Grand Seiko SBGA231G wears and feels substantial enough if you have the same issues with titanium as I have.
Now that I mentioned the Submariner anyway, there's one thing that I often hear when it is about this Grand Seiko SBGA229G and SBGA231G model: it looks pretty darn similar to the Rolex Submariner. To a certain extent, that's very true and it is doesn't make much sense to deny that it has a lot of similarities. On the other hand, a lot of diving watches have a similar look because of those typical diving watch features. This goes for the Breitling SuperOcean, the Omega Seamaster 300M and Planet Ocean, perhaps even the Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms as well. However, the black uni-directional diving bezel, the crown guards, the black dial and white hour markers (with rings) of this particular Grand Seiko SBGA231G are indeed a bit like those from the Rolex Submariner. Is that a bad thing? Well, it doesn't deserve a price for originality perhaps, but all these 'Submariner' features do make this a very functional watch (both the Rolex and Grand Seiko). If you aren't bothered by it, there's absolutely no issue. There are also enough differences and Grand Seiko features that make this watch still very interesting and not just a 'homage' to the Submariner. Perhaps it is also here that the titanium might be an important factor for those who prefer a light diving watch, as Rolex doesn't offer their Submariner in titanium.
Then there's the Spring Drive movement, of course. I've been explaining the works of the Spring Drive movement a few times in the past, so I suggest you read this or this article if you want to have more details about this movement. For me, the Spring Drive movement is definitely a plus, as I love its accuracy and performance. The continuous 'electric' sweep of the second hand is always a pleasure to observe. There's only one downside to Spring Drive in my opinion, which is the power reserve indicator that comes with it. Completely unnecessary for a self-winding watch. If it indicates empty, you will need to wind or wear it. If it is still running, just put it on and it will increase again. I don't get the point of this indicator unless a watch has a hand-wound movement. That said, the Spring Drive movement as such is just awesome in my book.
Where this watch differs from most of its competition is the design of the case and especially the finishing of the case. Grand Seiko uses Zaratsu (mirror) polishing techniques for their cases, which results in a beautiful shine. It is one of the things I enjoy most with my own Seiko Marinemaster and Grand Seiko Hi-Beat. The finish on the case is simply amazing and leaves its direct competition far behind. The downside is that a diving watch is probably also going to be used as diving (or tool) watch, so it will get some scratches. Even the watch we have here for review has seen some proper use. And that shows, which can be bothersome for those who want to keep their watches in pristine conditions at all times. Of course, the Grand Seiko SBGA231G can be re-finished during service, and if it bothers you that much you could also wonder if you shouldn't be using a more affordable watch for diving purposes and just use this one for being pretty. Some people seem to think that titanium is more scratch resistant than steel, but you will definitely get it scratched just as easily during use. So you really should decide for titanium if you love the light-weight factor and perhaps the darker colour of the material, otherwise the steel SBGA229G is just as fine (and a €1000 cheaper).
The titanium case does not have a display back, which is a pity, as I like to see their caliber 9R65 movement at work. However, purists might disagree and like to see the case closed. The power reserve of the Grand Seiko caliber 9R65 is 72 hours and it has an accuracy of approx. 1 second of deviation per day. Of course, this watch comes with a screw-down crown. No ceramic bezel for this Grand Seiko, but a high polished steel bezel, just like the MM300 SBDX001 and SBDX017 for example. The high polished finish might make you think it is ceramic though, but it isn't.
As I already mentioned, some dial elements are common for divers' watches. What's not so common is the level of finish that Grand Seiko does with their dials. Beautifully polished hour markers and GS logo, brushed hands and everything is checked and applied by hand. The only thing I don't like about this dial is the power reserve indicator. But I don't like it on any of the Grand Seiko Spring Drive models, including the Snowflake. It 'breaks' the dial too much and makes it a bit too cluttered. The date is located at 3 o'clock in contrasting colours, meaning the disc is white and the printing is black. Just the way I like it, as it is far better readable this way than on a black disc with white printing. Aesthetically I get it that it is nicer when things are matching. I wouldn't have mind to have no date at all, to be honest, but it is kinda functional for daily use.
The cathedral hands are brushed and filled with Lumibrite, (Grand)Seiko's own luminous compound. It has also been applied to the hour markers on the dial. My Seiko and Grand Seiko watches are the best luminous watches in my collection, so no criticism here. I love the gold tone GS and Grand Seiko logos on the dial at 12 o'clock, it gives a nice contrast with the black and white. At 6 o'clock, just above the rectangular hour marker, there's the indicator of the 200 meters of water resistance. Slight above, you will also read that this Grand Seiko SBGA231G is powered by a Spring Drive movement.
The bracelet on this Grand Seiko SBGA231G looks very similar to the other Grand Seiko bracelets. Three rows of brushed links and the center link as two polished links in between. So in total, there are 5 rows of links. It is very similar to the modern Omega Speedmaster bracelet design. I am not really a fan of its aesthetics to be honest (the Speedmaster bracelet and the Grand Seiko bracelet), as I think it would be much easier on the eyes when everything was just brushed. The quality is very good though, and the level of finish is great as well. There's an easy system in the clasp for extending the bracelet if you want to wear it over your diving suit, or just resize it a bit during hot summer days for example. It works very easy, but the system looks a bit cheap, to be honest. The same extension system can be found on the bracelet of the Marinemaster 300 and where I already found it cheap on that watch (with a retail price of approx. 2500 Euro at the time), it's not getting better when the retail price of the watch is 7200 Euro.
Make no mistake, this Grand Seiko SBGA231G is just like any other Grand Seiko a great piece of engineering. The finishing is incredible, but it feels a bit as I am repeating myself over and over again when it comes to Grand Seiko. I also have to be fair here: I feel that Grand Seiko is (still) a lot of bang for the buck, but the amount of bucks needed to acquire one of their watches has been increasing in the past few years. The retail price of 7200 Euro for this titanium diver is still under the 7850 Euro price tag of a Rolex Submariner Date or a titanium Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M (7900 Euro), but it is getting close. There's no doubt in mind that this Grand Seiko SBGA231G can't be compared to either of these two. However, for 7200 Euro a ceramic bezel would have been nice and the extension system in the clasp could use an upgrade as well, especially compared to the two other watches mentioned above. I think I would go for the steel SBGA229G version of this watch myself, for a 1000 Euro, I could live with the 64 grams additional weight.

Those tricksy folks over at Google have got the interwebs into a right stir this morning by announcing the launch of Gmail Motion, letting you control your email with Kinect-style body movements.
Watch the full description of the new tech in the great video above.
The biggest problem? It's the latest in a long line of Google April Fool's jokes, which have included claims that the search engine is powered by a farm of pigeons, and last year's launch of an app that could translate the babble of animals into human speech.
Never thought Google would do it, Gmail Motion tutorial video was so real and it almost got me too.
Even if this was possible, they should fix other gmail annoyances first… like sorting emails by sender!

CLAIMING US SOFTLY WITH HER SONG: THE PEARL CHARLES INTERVIEW part 2
In part one of the interview with Southern California singer and songwriter Pearl Charles, we traversed the city of Los Angeles and the desert of Joshua Tree to explore the intersection of drugs, music and self-awareness.
It turns out some of those west coast themes, and some of that west coast music, have survived decades and are thriving again, and Charles is ready to reclaim the middle of the road.
As even a cursory listen to her second album, would tell you, the trail of influences leading to Pearl Charles' Magic Mirror https://www.bernardzuel.net/post/pearl-charles-magic-mirror-review winds its way through more than 50 years – for a writer not yet 30 – and several genres, from coast to coast in her native America and both sides of the Atlantic to some brief landings in Australia.
We're talking someone who starts that album with a song that is pure Abba and then finds Bacharach-ish pop, country rock and, as she confessed in part one of this interview, a lifelong love of musical theatre.
"We used a lot of those references but ultimately, we are a modern band," explains Charles. "We could have gone harder into making something that sounded more retro or throwback, but I just wanted to make something that feels kind of timeless."
There are some key touchstones though, and after we bond over a fondness for the songs of Christine McVie, Charles – also a passionate fan of Stevie Nicks and no small lover of the work of Lindsey Buckingham - calls her one of her biggest influences as a songwriter.
"I think that [McVie] is very straightforward and very classic. You know exactly what she is saying and somehow she makes a poetic, despite the fact that it is very clear and not cloaked in too much mystery. I connect with it so deeply, and I wanted to make something like that," says Charles, who today is wearing an Eagles T-shirt she got from Australia. Not that she's been here, though she insists that "I feel like I was an Australian in a past life".
If the feel of the turn of the '60s/'70s is the most striking element at first, the other intriguing boldness of Magic Mirror is that Charles is quite prepared to write and play softly.
By that I don't just mean quietly, or without spikiness lyrically or emotionally: lord knows we don't have a shortage of people at the moment who think if you strip back or slow down it makes everything "meaningful". In fact, listen closely to Charles and you'll find doubt and darkness in many songs, on top of which her love of melody is too strong to just amble into place.
No, softly here refers to being prepared to make music that is gentle and sweet and is unafraid to be seen as, well, middle of the road – reclaiming that once cursed term.
While there used to be an assumption that if you aren't in some way agitated you must be making trite, wet wet wet fare, singer-songwriters like Charles, Australian Joel Sarakula and UK artist Rumer are happy to say we like how the middle of the road feels and how it makes a listener feel. And irony or distance or mocking does not figure, or matter.
"I think that there is a generational difference. I didn't grow up with that taboo. I mean, I kind of do because my mom, who really turned me onto a lot of the classic songwriters – Leonard Cohen, John Prine, Townes Van Zandt - she doesn't like a lot of the same stuff that I like. She doesn't like the Eagles, she definitely doesn't like Fleetwood Mac, she doesn't even really like Neil Young and she might like Linda Ronstadt," Charles reveals. "They said this on NPR too about my record, that the first time they heard it did they didn't want to like it because these people grew up with punk or post-punk. I didn't have that; I just embraced it."
Actually, not just embraced it but finding a philosophical grounding for it. She tells me about a conversation earlier in the day with the musician father of her partner, fellow musician and contributor to her new album, Michael Rault. Rault senior was marvelling at the appearance of a rose in a city footpath, wondering "how does the sweetness and softness make it through the hard world?"
"And I was like, underneath the hard exterior of the world that everybody's put up is the earth, the universal thing out of which everything grows," says Charles. "That sweetness is in there but we as a world have tried to cover it up and stamp it out because we are scared of being vulnerable.
"There is this vulnerability in being this is who I am: I'm not presenting as if I have a hardened exterior, this is who I am, a little soft and a little sweet and I think being true to myself is going to get me the furthest."
Is the world more receptive to this idea? Well it helps that while her first album, the more country rock-leaning Sleepless Dreamer, was appealing, Magic Mirror is a significant upgrading in quality of songwriting and sound, projecting her as someone more confident and more in control.
On that first record you could see the ideas brewing; here they are realised
"To be really honest, there were some energetic blocks around the last album. Some of them had to do with me, some of them had to do with the people I was working with," Charles says. "When I look back I really did have a lot of the same ideas, the beginnings of the same ideas, and I wanted to do a similar thing. But I think I was a bit insecure, and some of the people I was working with were a bit insecure, and like I said [in part one of the interview] we used session musicians who were great players but I don't think it was quite as personal."
Was it just experience and confidence lacking?
"There was too much focus on - my therapist just gave me this quote - perfection as the enemy of the good, out of fear of being exposed as being a fraud. Both for me as an artist and the producer I was working with specifically," she says. "This time around, everything fell into place in a really cosmic and beautiful way. It's still a very polished album, but it was more a mental state of mind.
"I do feel like it's more authentically me, and that's what I feel like is going to connect with people the most."
Magic Mirror is out now on Kanine Records.

Ohio attorney general candidate Steve Dettelbach might face conflict in opioid case
Updated: Jan. 30, 2019, 3:42 a.m. | Published: Jun. 11, 2018, 12:43 p.m.
In this Oct. 8, 2015, file photo, U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach speaks at a news conference in Cleveland. Dettelbach is facing a potential conflict of interest that could affect his ability to prosecute the pharmaceutical industry in the state's lawsuit over the opioid crisis if he is elected Ohio attorney general in November, a review by The Associated Press review found. (Tony Dejak, Associated Press file)
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio's Democratic attorney general candidate is facing a potential conflict of interest that could affect his ability to prosecute the pharmaceutical industry in the state's lawsuit over the opioid crisis if he is elected.
Former U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach has professional ties to a lawyer for one of five pharmaceutical companies sued by the state, a review by The Associated Press found.
Attorney Carole Rendon served as Dettelbach's first assistant U.S. Attorney and briefly succeeded him when he resigned as U.S. Attorney in Cleveland. He later recruited her to his team at BakerHostetler, a law firm where health care industry cases are among his specialties.
Rendon represents Endo Pharmaceuticals in the lawsuit that Republican Attorney General Mike DeWine brought last year against five drugmakers.
The suit alleges the drug companies were complicit in causing Ohio's addictions epidemic by intentionally misleading patients about the dangers of painkillers and promoting benefits of the drugs not backed by science.
It almost certainly would continue as one of the office's highest priorities after DeWine leaves next year due to term limits. Dettelbach faces Republican State Auditor Dave Yost for the job in November in one of the nation's most closely watched attorney general races.
Yet Dettelbach could be forced to recuse himself from the case if he's been privy to inside information on Endo's defense.
It wouldn't be the first time.
Dettelbach had to recuse himself from direct involvement in the years-long Cuyahoga County corruption probe when he was U.S. Attorney. That was because BakerHostetler, his then previous employer, represented a company implicated in the sweeping investigation, which ended in the convictions of more than 60 public officials, employees and contractors.
Campaign spokeswoman Liz Doherty said Dettelbach has maintained a legal and monetary firewall in the case and has "every intention" of prosecuting it if he's elected attorney general.
Dettelbach would "consult ethics advisers and ethics rules to ensure that all laws are complied with in making any and all decisions regarding these lawsuits," Doherty said in a statement to the AP. "Steve is committed to leading the fight against the opioid crisis, as he's done for years as a prosecutor."
Former Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery, a Republican, said if Dettelbach's ties to Rendon or BakerHostetler prevent him from being involved in the office's top case, it could present challenges for him.
"The duty of loyalty and confidentiality to clients and former clients is a cornerstone of the law," she said, adding that Dettelbach could face a situation where "he would not be able to be engaged in practical decisions on the case or make comments to the public informing them of what the intent of the office was with regard to that case."
Montgomery made clear that she was speaking hypothetically. She said the court would have to decide whether Dettelbach should be disqualified based on the facts.
But she said guiding the office's response to its biggest case -- in her instance, Ohio's $34 billion tobacco settlement -- is central to the job.
"As attorney general and the head of the office, you want to be captain of that ship," she said.

← Have You Checked Your Balances Lately?
If you're a typical business, then you've purchased furniture, equipment (outdoor or office), vehicles, or maybe even property – these are commonly referred to as Fixed Assets. By definition, Fixed Assets must be in use for over 12 months.
While it's best to let your accountant help you with how you will depreciate them over time, you can be a big help by keeping a list of what your purchase.
The easiest time to start recording information about a Fixed Asset is when you're creating a purchase transaction, such as Enter Bills, Write Checks, Enter Credit Card Charges or Purchase Order. Regardless of the transaction, you will be creating a new Item. So here's an example using checks.
Select Fixed Asset to open the New Item window.
Click whether it's new or used.
Enter the Date purchased, Cost and the Vendor/Payee. Don't worry about the SALES INFORMATION fields until – and if – you eventually sell the asset.
To do this, click the Lists menu and select Fixed Asset Item List. If you're adding a new one, right-click anywhere in the list part of the screen and select New (or click the down arrow next to the Item button in the lower left of the screen and click New). The same New Item window that you opened from the check-writing screen appears.
So next time you purchase equipment or furniture, think about using the Fixed Asset tool in QuickBooks.

Liars, Children, and the NSA
By Thomas Fleming
Yesterday's congressional performances by the head of the National Security Administration and the deputy director of the FBI deserve an award, but it is the KIDS awards handed out for best children's TV programs. Even an American adolescent should be able to spot the lies and contradictions.
First, we were informed that surveillance of the telephone "metadata" of the US population stopped 50 acts of terrorism worldwide, but only two examples were provided, neither of them at all persuasive. One was some $8,500 given to Al Shahab, an alleged a terrorist group in Somalia.
In fact, only the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Norway, and Sweden have designated Al Shahab as a terrorist organization. Generally speaking, it is a militant Islamic military group that is one of several parties to an ongoing civil war. It does recruit Somalis living in America, as well as other Islamic militants, to its ranks, but it is hardly a blip on the international terrorist radar screen. It probably cost the US hundreds of thousands if not tens of millions of dollars to do what--to stop a contribution of $8,500. Very impressive!
The other case involved a plot to blow up the Stock Exchange in NYC. Now, few Americans would weep over such an event, but since no one was actually charged in the plot, it is hard to take the threat very seriously. Again, very impressive detective work!
The big picture presented was even more absurd. Of the billions of phone calls being observed in 2012, only 300 numbers were actually spied on. That is roughly one out of a million people in the country. Then, what good did it do them to collect data on my calls, your calls, and the calls made your great-uncle Cecil who spends all his free time making historic buildings out of matchsticks?
These shenanigans not only involve a significant waste of time, resources, and tax dollars, but they positively get in the way of counter-espionage. The FBI had been warned in advance about those pleasant young Saudis who hijacked the airliners on 911, but they are so overwhelmed by useless and distracting tips that they did not listen to one of their own people who gave them reliable information. The Russians gave us quite concrete information about Tamerlan Tsernayev, but the CIA and FBI ignored it, partly because our government wants to portray the Russians as savage oppressors of the peaceful Chechens but partly because they are all too busy collecting metadata on 300 million Americans.
If the top brass of US intelligence agencies--or anyone, for that matter, in government--had any interest in protecting the American people from terrorism, they would not be taking note of every call made by your great-uncle Cecil to the match factory. (Who knows what he does with all those miniaturized incendiary devices?)
They would not be granting citizenship and and making welfare payments to militant Islamic Chechens, and they would not be bringing in boatloads of Somali Muslims.
They would, instead, be monitoring all known Islamic organizations including mosques and the headquarters of CAIR, and they would publicly warn Americans that the principal threat to their security comes from believing Muslims.
General Alexander wants Congress and the American people to take his word for it: Our government is not spying on us, just as our IRS is not politically persecuting conservative organizations. He appears to be frankly puzzled that any would would not believe him. But, since the NSA and the FBI are ubwilling to take the first step toward protecting the citizenry of this country, we have to assume that every time they open their mouths they are lying
When General Alexander comes to the Congress with his fairy tales, he must be a fool if he thinks anyone in Congress will believe him, but if they do believe anything thing he says, they are even greater fools.

A very traditional anthology that deals with the major poets, and follows the customary progression from "innocence" to "experience" with examples of early work (Rupert Brooke, Charles Sorley, Thomas Hardy, etc.), to later poetry by Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, and Isaac Rosenberg.
Never Such Innocence : a New Anthology of Great War Verse / edited and introduced by Martin Stephen. -- London : Buchan & Enright, 1988.

Officers are trying to trace a man after a woman was stabbed in the back several times in London.
Peter Morley, 35, is wanted for questioning over the attack, which left the victim, believed to be in her 30s, with multiple stab wounds.
Her injuries are not life-threatening, Scotland Yard said. Police have released a picture of Mr Morley in a bid to locate him.

Detective Chief Inspector Lesley Hamilton said: "It is important that we locate Mr Morley quickly and without further incident and I urge anyone who sees him not to hesitate but to call police without delay."
Officers have established a crime scene, closed off roads, and stepped up patrols following the incident.

General surgery is a surgical specialty that broad in its scope, focusing on both the diagnosis and surgical treatment of many different medical conditions. By nature of the specialty, general surgeons are expected to be able to perform surgeries on multiple body systems.
General surgery is a surgical specialty that is broad in its scope, focusing on both the diagnosis and surgical treatment of many different medical conditions. By nature of the specialty, general surgeons are expected to be able to perform surgeries on multiple body systems. A general surgeon may have specialized knowledge and experience related to the diagnosis, preoperative, operative, and postoperative management, including the management of complications.
General Surgery covers a wide array of specializations and subspecialties. Some of the subspecialties of general surgery include, but are not limited to, vascular surgery, biliary surgery, bariatric surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and abdominal transplant surgery. When a patient is in need of an organ transplant, it will most likely be a general surgeon performing the procedure.
There are many different conditions associated with the abdomen and digestive system. Some of the most commonly seen cases are acute pancreatitis, appendicitis, bowel obstructions, Crohn's Disease, and gallstones. Gallstones can range in size and are solid particles that can potentially block the bile duct, causing stomach pains and discomfort. If this condition is left untreated, the patient can become septic and potentially die.
As medical technology advances, certain general surgeries are becoming less invasive and focusing more on laparoscopic procedures. A few of the most common procedures performed by a general surgeon are laparoscopic hernia repair, endoscopies, liver resections, appendectomies, and Whipple procedures. During a Whipple procedure, the surgeon removes infected parts of the pancreas, duodenum, common bile duct, and sometimes parts of the stomach. A Whipple procedure is commonly performed to treat cancers of these areas.
Since many general surgery procedures are required due to complications with the digestive system, it is of great importance to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. Avoiding substance abuse, tobacco use, and limiting alcohol intake can help in maintaining liver and kidney health. Low-fat diets help prevent gallstones and biliary disease.
A common misconception about general surgery is that this encompasses all procedures. A general surgeon does not have the training and certifications to perform all surgeries. Similar to other surgeons, if they are not comfortable with the case they are presented with, the general surgeon will refer the patient to another surgeon who might be more equipped or trained to handle the patient's specific condition.

An Ode to Missy From 'Big Mouth', The Most Relatable Girl on Television
By Kayleigh Donaldson | Streaming | November 6, 2018 |
Netflix's animated comedy Big Mouth remains one of television's most hilariously brutal series, one that blends gross-out humour with a deftly drawn take on the mental and literal horrors of adolescence. For a show that seemed so simplistically crude when it premiered - ha ha, dick jokes, I get it - the show, courtesy of Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg and based on their own experiences, has grown into a proudly progressive exploration of that with so much pop culture remains depressingly timid about. In its second season, Big Mouth smartly moved away from its two male leads, understanding that the terrors of male puberty have long been a favourite topic for entertainment. Instead, the show dug more into its ensemble of young women, each navigating a far trickier path to growing up. Jessi tried to juggle her parents' divorce with her own body image issues and growing depression; Gina found herself the focus of attention, unwanted or otherwise, once she developed breasts; even Lola, arguably the most broadly drawn of the kids and the weakest character for it, got some depth when she found herself used by Andrew for some cheap thrills. Yet the woman who had the most interesting, uniquely feminine and possibly most radical arc this season was Missy.
Voiced by Jenny Slate, Missy Foreman-Greenwald is the big-hearted unabashed geek of her circle of friends. She not only loves her parents but likes them and their company, and has been nurtured by them to be a progressive young woman who likes STEM subjects, romance novels and spontaneous play dates. Her big crush is Nathan Fillion, but she also dates Andrew for a while before realizing she's too young to be so emotionally involved with a boy. She talks way too much, should never be allowed to consume sugar, and some nights, she cuddles up with a plush glow worm in a way that gives her a tingly feeling.
It would be easy to compare Missy to her animated older siblings: She has the smarts of Lisa Simpson, the proud awkwardness and ownership of her sexuality that makes Tina Belcher such a delight, and even some of Daria Morgendorffer's 'who has time for that' attitude towards conforming with her peers, albeit with a more glass-half-full approach. She even has some of the guileless enthusiasm of Mr. Peanutbutter from BoJack Horseman (but without the entitlement). Yet these comparisons still feel a tad simplistic. Missy feels part of a lineage but is still entirely her own person, the kind of teenage girl you desperately wanted to see on T.V. when you were thirteen and one whose journey of adolescence feels both agonizingly familiar and refreshingly forward-thinking.
The hormone monstress Connie, one who is seen regularly with all the girls of the show but mostly Jessi, hasn't entirely dug her claws into Missy. She has assisted in moments like Missy's first kiss with Andrew, but she essentially stopped their collaborations once it became apparent that Missy wasn't yet ready for the future. She's precocious but still relatively innocent but not ignorant to what awaits her. Where Jay brags about his infantile prowess and Andrew just seeks an end to his endlessly horny agony, Missy is mostly comfortable in her state.
Well, that is until the monster of self-image arrives. Unlike the actual hormone monsters and the hilarious Shame Wizard, Missy's most insidious monster is herself. Her insecurities over her looks come not from a fantastical creature but her own reflection. All the self-confidence her parents drummed into her - aside from Nick, Missy may have the most well-adjusted upbringing - meant nothing when confronted with good old fashioned self-loathing. Sometimes, nobody in the world is meaner to you than you are to yourself. A well-timed visit to the Korean spa - and one hell of a Gloria Gaynor musical homage - helps put her on the right path. Yet Missy's journey not only helps her love herself: It helps her become more attuned to the needs and emotions of her friends.
(Warning: Video super NSFW)
Missy notices before the rest of her friends that Jessi is going through a hard time, and while she gets flack for ratting our her pals' misguided experimentation with drugs, it's understandable that she made the right choice. She is surprisingly kind to Andrew when he talks about his unfortunate underpants accident during their first dance, but isn't afraid to draw clear boundaries when he gets too emotionally attached. In one episode, she tells Andrew about an online community she's part of, called Girls Are Perfect and There's Not a Thing Wrong with Any One of Them and Anyone Who Would Tell You Otherwise Is Actually Just Afraid of Your Power.' When he asks if there's such a group for boys, she laughs and says it's called Society. It's a joke, yes, but one with real truth behind it, and you're reminded of how weird and much more difficult adolescence would be for a young black girl geek who doesn't conform to high school expectations.
The subject of sexuality for the adolescents of Big Mouth is a complicated one. The boys talk a lot about masturbation - well, mostly Andrew since it seems to be his primary hobby and goal in life - but Jessi's path to self-discovery is more limited. For the most part, Missy's sexuality has been rooted in innocent fantasies involving Nathan Fillion and romance novels where men turn into horses (Missy and Tina Belcher are BFFs in an AU fanfic somewhere, I swear). When Missy's glow worm is introduced, a new take on the matter is also brought into the show's narrative: What about the kids for whom this has always been a natural and accepted part of their life? The audience is shown Missy with the cuddly childhood toy she likes to grind up against and how she's been doing this since infancy. Her own mother encourages it, albeit within the four walls of Missy's own bedroom. She discovered this thing about herself, she liked it, she got the okay from her mother, and she grew up with maybe the healthiest view on sex one can bestow on a little girl. There is no shame until she realizes that some things are best kept private.
We could always use more proudly weird young women in pop culture, but we especially need more for whom their awkward and unabashedly sensuous approach to adolescence is celebrated. Big Mouth makes humour from the most mortifying elements of growing up, but in Missy it has found the true heart and emotional foundations that make its entire ensemble more empathetic and understandable. So, here's to you, Missy Foreman-Greenwald. May you find your Nathan Fillion somewhere in the big bad world.

Main reason: The Update runs all the time. So it is pretty much possible that you run through all of the conditions before you collide since menuCounter will with or without collision eventually reach <= 0.2f => directly jumps into
SceneManager.LoadScene(nextSceneLoad);

Another reason: With your setup yo might easily skip a condition and maintenance will be really bad if you want to adjust the times or add/remove steps ;)
I would probably rather do something like this
int currentScene;
int nextSceneLoad;

void Start()
{
   currentScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex;
   nextSceneLoad = currentScene + 1;
}

private bool isAlreadyLoading;

// "OnTriggerEnter2D" can return IEnumerator in which case
// Unity will automatically tread and run it as a coroutine
IEnumerator OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
    // if already loading ignore
    if(isAlreadyLoading) yield break;

    // if not player ignore
    if (!other.CompareTag("Player")) yield break;

    if (currentScene == 4)
    {
        Debug.Log("You Completed ALL Levels");

        //Show Win Screen or something
    }
    else
    {
        if (nextSceneLoad > PlayerPrefs.GetInt("levelAt"))
        {
            PlayerPrefs.SetInt("levelAt", nextSceneLoad);
            // I would also save this
            PlayerPrefs.Save();
        }

        // In general "Find" is very expensive!
        // you already seem to have a reference to the player since it collided with you!
        other.GetComponent<Movement>().enabled = false;
        other.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().bodyType =  RigidbodyType2D.Static;
        GameObject.Find("StageClear").GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>().enabled = true;
        GameObject.Find("StageClearSound").GetComponent<AudioSource>().enabled = true;
        GameObject.Find("MusicControl").GetComponent<AudioSource>().enabled = false;

        // set flag to ignore any later collisions
        isAlreadyLoading = true;

        // store these ONCE
        var sprite = GameObject.Find("Sprite").GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
        var material = sprite.material;

        // if I'm not completely mislead I think you want to fade out your sprite
        // from fully white opaque to fully transparent
        var startColor = Color.white;
        var targetColor = new Color(1f, 1f, 1f, 0f);
        // Coudld be a const or even better adjustable via the Inspector
        float fadeDuration = 2f;

        // Every frame move the timePassed forward and interpolate the sprite color
        for(var timePassed = 0f; timePassed < fadeDuration; timePassed += Time.deltatime)
        {
            // will be a factor moving 0 -> 1 within fadeDuration
            var factor = timePassed / fadeDuration;
            // interpolate startColor -> targetColor within fadeDuration
            sprite.color = Color.Lerp(statColor, targetColor, factor);
            // "pause" routine here, render this frame and continue from here in next frame
            yield return null;
        }

        sprite.enabled = false;

Robert C. McLeod: Thaidene Nëné
Yellowknife — February 8, 2019
Mr. Speaker, the Government of the Northwest Territories has a mandate commitment to use the Land Use and Sustainability Framework to establish the Thaidene Nëné protected area in partnership with Indigenous governments and the Government of Canada.
I can inform Members of the Legislative Assembly that we have made significant progress toward the establishment of the protected area with the negotiation of a draft Establishment Agreement between the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Łutsel K'e Dene First Nation.
The Chief and Council for Łutsel K'e have authorized a ratification vote for the general membership to take place on February 18, 2019. We are hopeful for a positive outcome of this vote, which will continue to move us towards our goal of having a signed Establishment Agreement.
A completed Establishment Agreement between the Łutsel K'e Dene First Nation and the Government of the Northwest Territories is one of a number of agreements required to establish Thaidene Nëné. This includes a Land Transfer Agreement with Parks Canada for the transfer of the approximately 14,000 square kilometres of land required to establish the National Park Reserve.
This session, our government intends to introduce a Protected Areas Act, which will be used to establish Thaidene Nëné. This legislation will allow us to develop regulations for this protected area, based on a final Establishment Agreement.
Mr. Speaker, I can also advise the Legislative Assembly that we have taken significant strides toward establishing a Regional Management Body for Thaidene Nëné that will include all Akaitcho communities, the Northwest Territory Métis Nation, Parks Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories.
More work still needs to be done to formalize this arrangement and conclude agreements with other Indigenous governments and organizations, but the negotiation of a draft Establishment Agreement with the Łutsel K'e Dene First Nation is a significant milestone in the long journey toward establishing Thaidene Nëné.
I would like to recognize the efforts of everyone involved in helping us advance the finalization of this important initiative and I look forward to keeping Members apprised of the progress.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.


The LG Watch Style isn't an all-singing, all-dancing smartwatch, but it does its job and it does it well. If you're after a smartwatch that looks like a premium, fashionable watch, this isn't the device for you, but if you want a smartwatch that's comfortable, fuss-free and easy to use, the Watch Style is well-worth considering.
When the LG Watch Style was announced in February 2017, it was one of the only Android Wear 2.0 watches, which gave it a notable point of interest. Six months on, however, at the point of its release, it faces some tough competition from the likes of Huawei, Tag Heuer and Montblanc – all of which are gunning for some of the AW2.0 smartwatch pie.
Unlike the higher-spec and rugged LG Watch Sport version – which we're yet to hear when or even if it will grace us with its presence – the Watch Style is simple and subtle in its approach, unlike the better built, tougher and bulkier competition.
Does the LG Watch Style succeed in its endeavours? Or is it too simple to make it as enticing an option as those watches from the established fashion and watch brands?
The LG Watch Style is the slimmer of LG's two Android Wear 2.0 watches. The Watch Sport is chunky and rugged, while the Style is the sleeker of the two, offering a slim build at just under 11mm.
The watch body is stainless steel, while the back is plastic, though it doesn't feel cheap like the LG Watch Urbane. It doesn't have as much to look at as the likes of the Tag Heuer Modular 45 and the materials don't look or feel as premium as the Montblanc Summit, but these devices are significantly more expensive. We're talking at least three times the price.
The LG Watch Style is light – a little too light if you're seeking a true watch-like experience – which could be seen as one of its biggest attributes, as it's easy to forget it's even on the wrist. It's comfortable to wear and it looks good on a smaller arm – something that can't necessarily be said for the Montblanc or the Tag, depending on your style preference.
The Watch Style comes in three colourways, each of which has an IP68 water and dust resistance rating. We had the titanium model in for review which comes with a black leather strap, but we prefer the rose gold model we initially saw back in February. The rose gold appears to have a little bit more to it, with less risk of being mistaken for a toy watch – like this titanium model on review occasionally did.
Which is a notable point: even though the Watch Style ticks the metal box for its use of titanium, it goes to show that materials not finished in a certain way can present themselves unfavourably. We've had colleagues handle the Style who thought it was a plastic watch. There's only so much a leather strap can negate that perception.
The straps on the Watch Style are easily changed, requiring a simple pull back of the pins positioned on the underside of the device and unhooking the strap. We'd therefore probably choose the rose gold model and change the strap, or add a more exciting strap to the titanium model to give it a bit more style, as its name supposedly suggests.
There is one central rotatable crown on the right of the Watch Style's watch face, rather than the three on the Watch Sport. The bezel surrounding the display is narrower than the Sport's, too, and shiny for a smarter finish. The Style's crown is very responsive and easy to use, sliding through the menu options quickly and easily with no lag, which is one of Android Wear 2.0's premier features – and a feature which the Huawei Watch 2 lacks.
The LG Watch Style offers a smaller 1.2-inch OLED display, compared to the 1.38-inch display on the Watch Sport, which offers crisp text thanks to its decent resolution.
When set to automatic brightness it isn't as punchy as some OLED screens we have seen, such as that of the Apple Watch 2. Jump it up to full brightness in the settings, however, and you'll be greeted with a super vibrant display that's packed full of rich colours. It's not really necessary to do, especially as the battery life will take a hit, and the automatic brightness setting manages just fine, but it delivers a nice boost if you fancy it.
The biggest take-away of the Style's screen is that there's no 'flat tyre' - the cut-away black bar to the bottom of the screen, as in some older smartwatches - like there is on the Moto 360 and Michael Kors Access. That's a great thing, ensuring a fully circular display for a more genuine watch-like appearance.
The screen is touch-sensitive, which is one way to control Android Wear 2.0, but we preferred to use the crown for control to keep the screen free of fingerprints.
LG Watch Sport vs LG Watch Style: What's the difference?
The LG Watch Style runs on Qualcomm's Wear 2100 platform, just like the Watch Sport, but it has less RAM and a lower capacity battery. Despite the reduction in RAM, operation is smooth and fluid, with no stuttering experienced as we were switching between various features and functions. Notifications were occasionally a little slow to come through, however.
Battery life isn't the best going: the Style would get us through a working day but very rarely through a full night too. It means you have to charge the Watch Style every night and sometimes mid-afternoon, especially if you want to wear it out for a late night. This is something we came to expect from smartwatches in the past, but there are a couple that last a bit longer than 24 hours these days, like the Huawei Watch 2 Sport.
Fortunately charging the Style is simple. It's a case of attaching the watch to a circular disc charger, without any fuss, and a full charge takes a couple of hours at the plug.
As we mentioned, the Watch Style misses out on a few other features present on the Watch Sport, including LTE connectivity, NFC, GPS and heart rate monitoring, hence why we expected a slightly better battery life. While this means the Style is significantly slimmer in design than many others, it also essentially means it's a much dumber smartwatch than the Sport model and many of its competitors.
The Watch Style is therefore pretty much as basic as smartwatches come in terms of functionality, relying on its slender design and fluid performance to see it through.
The LG Watch Style was first announced at the same time Google released Android Wear 2.0, designed to show off the new features of the updated wearable platform, though the software is now available on the majority of recent wearable devices.
Android Wear 2.0 is a significant improvement compared to the previous iteration, offering more independence, with users being able to install apps directly onto a watch. In short, the second-generation of Wear no longer feels like the software is the weak link – which is something we said of some earlier smartwatches.
The rotational control on the Watch Style is great too. Pressing it once opens the app menu and presents round icons around the display. Rotating the crown will then scroll through these (you can favourite apps to keep them at the top of the list) to make it easy to access your most used apps – it's much more dynamic than the old flat list.
A long press of the crown launches Google Assistant, where you can ask for help with various tasks, such as directions or your agenda. It's not perfect all the time, but it works well enough and its a useful feature to have.
To switch watch faces is easy, with a swipe of the screen, much like you can on Apple Watch. Complications have also been added, allowing you to customise watch faces with various elements you want to see (or not), such as step count, weather, the date, and so forth.
There is also a new quick settings shade for instant actions, while the Google Fit app has also been significantly improved, though the Watch Sport is the more suitable device to give you a better idea of your activity progress.
The LG Watch Style is a simple but effective smartwatch with good overall performance and a great software experience.
That said, it doesn't offer the same premium appeal as others in its field. It lacks thrills in terms of features – especially when compared to the LG Watch Sport and others – and doesn't have a particularly good battery life, which is further compounded considering its limited feature set.
Style is its name, but it's not the most stylish smartwatch out there either, with several others far beyond in terms of fashion, design and use of materials. But what the Watch Style does offer is simplicity which, for some, will make it a perfect first smartwatch.
If you're after a smartwatch that looks like a premium, fashionable watch, then the Watch Style isn't the device for you. But if you want a smartwatch that's comfortable to wear and easy to use, then this LG offering does Android Wear 2.0 justice. We just wish it lasted longer.
The Huawei Watch 2 Sport is significantly chunkier than the dainty LG Watch Style but it is more accomplished, offering great independent control if you opt for the 4G version, as well as a well-built design with top-spec hardware. It's a good alternative in the same price bracket, with a few extra features, such as two-day battery life and heart rate monitoring.
The Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45 is the smartwatch fashion king. If its style you are after, the Tag has it all, though it does come at a very hefty price tag (excuse the pun) compared to the LG Watch Style. There will be no mistaking this smartwatch for a toy though and although it lacks a rotational dial, the Connected Modular 45 drips in quality and offers plenty of customisation options.

Q: How to reliably set key repeat rate and interval in macOS 12 (Monterey)? In the past I've always been able to increase the key repeat rate and decrease the initial delay beyond what is possible in System Preferences > Keyboard by running:
defaults write -g InitialKeyRepeat 11
defaults write -g KeyRepeat 1

and then logging out and back in.
However, on a new, fresh install of macOS 12.4, this wasn't having the desired effect.
After a bunch of digging, I found these (new? additional?) keys in the com.apple.Accessibility domain:
    KeyRepeatDelay = "0.5";
    KeyRepeatInterval = "0.083333333";

I've been able to update them with:
defaults write com.apple.Accessibility KeyRepeatDelay -float 0.183333333
defaults write com.apple.Accessibility KeyRepeatInterval -float 0.016666666

and confirm the new values by running defaults read com.apple.Accessibility.
This seems to make a difference, but after logging out and/or rebooting, some of the keys (like KeyRepeatDelay) revert to other values.
Has anybody figured out the proper set of defaults commands and logout and/or restart actions to get the equivalent of InitialKeyRepeat 11 and KeyRepeat 1 to work and "stick" under macOS 12.4?

COVID-19: Great Yarmouth man jailed after supergluing lock on vaccination centre in Gorleston
1 December 2021, 10:39 am ·1-min read
A man who superglued shut the lock to a COVID-19 vaccination centre has been handed a three month prison sentence.
Hayden Brown squirted glue into the keyhole of the door to a pharmacy in Lowestoft Road, Gorleston, Norfolk, preventing more than 500 people from getting their booster jabs.
Live COVID updates from the UK and around the world
The 53-year-old, of Burgh Road in Great Yarmouth, was arrested on Tuesday after he was identified by covert cameras that had been put in place following two previous incidents on 12 November and 20 November.
Brown admitted criminal damage and pleaded guilty to causing a public nuisance at Norwich Magistrates' Court, Norfolk police said.
A total of 504 vulnerable people were prevented from getting their COVID booster jab due to the incident on 26 November.
Superintendent Nathan Clark said a "large number" of the people affected were elderly, adding: "This disruption will have caused great anxiety to those who have chosen to be vaccinated and then not [been] able to attend."
The defendant also admitted to possessing cannabis, which was found at his home following his arrest.
He entered his guilty pleas and was sentenced on Wednesday.

Oscar winner Armando Bó to direct film based on ex-Buenos Aires Herald editor Robert Cox
Scribe behind Oscar-winning feature 'Birdman' to bring the Buenos Aires Herald newspaper to the silver screen. Film will look at former editor Robert Cox's struggle to confront the military dictatorship about its crimes through the eyes of him and his family.

Oscar-winning screenwriter and director Armando Bó will make a new feature film based on the life of former Buenos Aires Herald editor Robert Cox and his heroic struggle to hold Argentina's brutal 1976-1983 military dictatorship to account for their crimes.
Through his production company About Entertainment, Bó has snapped up the rights to a screenplay penned by The New York Times Magazine journalist Michael Steinberger, which in turn is based on Dirty Secrets, Dirty War: the Exile of Robert J. Cox, a book written by the former editor's son, David Cox.
The intention now is to rewrite and tweak the script, before moving onto casting and eventually production, the director told local media this week in a series of press interviews.
Bó, 42, won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Birdman in 2015 with the film's director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Alexander Dinelaris Jr, and his cousin Nicolás Giacobone.
He also penned 2010's Biutiful starring Javier Bardem and has directed two features, The Last Elvis (2012) and Animal (2018). Since 2019, he has worked on El Presidente, the Amazon Prime Video series that dramatises the 'FIFAgate' corruption scandal in world football.
Bó's as yet untitled new film, which he will produce and direct, will focus on Cox, the editor of a small English-language newspaper who took on Argentina's brutal military junta in the late 1970s with journalism, printing articles about horrors the dictatorship sought to conceal and shining a light on the thousands of individuals who were disappeared.
"While other media outlets hid the reality of what was going on, Cox and a group of courageous journalists embarked on dangerous investigations into the forced disappearances of individuals, defying censorship and threats to confront high-ranking military officers and demand the truth," said About Entertainment in a statement to the press.
Under Cox's direction, for example, the Herald was "the only media outlet to broadcast the stories of the desperate Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, compiling lists of the disappeared, saving the lives of many detainees and risking everything to expose the reality in search of justice," it added.
"It is a source of pride for me, as an Argentine, to be able to tell this story ,with its true heroic protagonist and his family. An unknown story but one full of bravery, courage and integrity," said Bó, who said this week that the film would be a dramatisation of events.
Interestingly, the director revealed that the script had reached him via the United States, rather than via local channels. He has recently returned to Argentina after several years living in Los Angeles and said he has been looking for a story that's closer to home for some time.
'Absolutely delighted'
Cox – no stranger to Times readers as both an occasional columnist and honorary editor – said he was "absolutely delighted" by the news and the man at the helm.
"Speaking for our family as a whole, I must say that we are absolutely delighted that Armando Bó has chosen to make a film about the Buenos Aires Herald, based on the book by my son David," said the 87-year-old.
"There have been other filmmakers who wanted the rights to the book, but none match Armando. We know his work, particularly Birdman and the sad, funny and uproarious The Last Elvis," he said.
"Our story and that of the Herald is an Argentine story and I cannot think of anyone who could bring so much intimate knowledge of Argentina, amazing talent and originality to the unnerving task of capturing the horror of the country during the years of terror, up to and through the dictatorship."
In a series of press interviews this week to celebrate the news, both the film's subject and director talked up the importance of the story and its potential impact. Cox said he hoped that the story would challenge those who continue to deny the crimes of the military junta.
"I think that in telling a human story of our family and the people who worked at the Herald, the truth will be more accessible. For Argentina to heal, the past must be revealed in every possible aspect, shining a light on every aspect of that time when evil reigned," said the journalist.
"We must learn from those terrible years and the most important lesson is that democracy requires a free and fearless press to survive," he added.
"There are still people who evade the truth about the past, similar to those who deny the Holocaust. I believe that this film can help to bring people together to overcome the horror of the past and make a better future," concluded Cox.
This new film is the second feature based on Cox and his years with the Herald, following the 2017 documentary Messenger on a White Horse, directed by Jayson McNamara.
