The Evolution of Lakorns in Thailand
May 23, 2012 By Marie F
In Thailand, a TV soap opera or series is referred to as lakorn or lakhon nam nao. This type of TV show began in 1987 with Prissana followed by Koo Kum three years after in 1990. Since then, there have been numerous Thai soaps produced in this Southeast Asian country featuring a variety of themes.
A Thai TV series normally involves more than 10 episodes and can run for up to three months. They are shown every night or twice or thrice weekly for an hour during primetime. The best lakorns are usually aired after the news with most competing channels broadcasting them at the same time to capture a share of the viewers.
Most stories focus on the lives of well-off families, unreciprocated love, ungrateful children, overbearing parents and jealousy and many other themes which viewers can very well relate to.
Popular television shows in Thailand may be newly produced or they can also be remakes of old TV series. With remakes, however, the storyline is slightly modified and already features new actors.
Thailand's most popular lakorn was Dao Pra Sook which aired in the 1990s. It earned the highest rating in 1994 and was even released internationally. Cambodia was the number one fan of the series which it called The Morning Star.
Dao Pra Sook's high rating, however, was beaten by Kom Faek in 2008. It made history for the highest rate it earned for a TV soap opera and also for BBTV Channel 7.
Apart from love and family stories, Thais also love horror themes. Famous horror TV series in this Southeast Asian country are Sisa Marn, Pop Pee Fa and Tayat Asoon.

Senator ROBERT F. KENNEDY: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening because I have some very sad news for all of you.
Could you lower those signs please? I have some very sad news for all of you and I think sad news for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world, and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.
Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. For this difficult day, and this difficult time for the United States it's perhaps well to ask what kind of nation we are. And what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black and considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people responsible you can be filled with bitterness and with hatred and a desire for revenge.
We can move in that direction as a country and greater polarization, black people amongst blacks and white amongst whites filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend and replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land with an effort to understand compassion and love. For those of you who are black, and are tempted to feel with, be filled with hatred and distrust of the injustice of such an act against all white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling.
I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man, but we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to get beyond or go beyond these rather difficult times. My favorite poem, my favorite poet was Aeschylus, he once wrote, "Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart until in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God." What we need in the United States is not division. What we need in the United States is not hatred. What we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black.
So I still ask you tonight, to return home to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King, yeah that's true, but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country which all of us love, a prayer for understanding and that compassion that which I spoke, he can do well in this country, we will have difficult times, we have had difficult times in the past, and we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence, it is not the end of lawlessness, it is not the end of disorder, but the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life and wants justice for all human beings who abide in our land. And what--dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago, to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let's dedicate ourselves to that. Let's say a prayer to our country and for our people.
Famous Speeches: Robert Kennedy on the Assassination of MLK Jr.
I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening, because I have some — some very sad news for all of you — Could you lower those signs, please? — I have some very sad news for all of you, and, I think, sad news for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world; and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.

Daniel Radcliffe has unveiled a dramatic new look for his movie Imperium. The Harry Potter star will play an undercover FBI agent who infiltrates a group of neo-Nazis trying to build a dirty bomb in the upcoming thriller. Radcliffe chose his Google+ page to premiere the image, telling fans: "Here's the first look of me as FBI agent Nate Foster in Imperium. "We began filming the movie this week. I'm very excited about it and will tell you more about it soon!" Imperium is based on the experiences of ex-FBI agent Michael German, who co-wrote the film with director Daniel Ragussis. After a decade sporting a haircut you could set your watch by in Harry Potter, Radcliffe will wear flowing locks for Victor Frankenstein in December this year.

In order to survive within a host organism, pathogenic bacteria have evolved flexible metabolic pathways and defense mechanisms. Dr. Frawley uses the model pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium to study how bacteria respond to host-generated chemical defenses such as nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide. Many key enzymes and pathways are directly inhibited by peroxide and nitric oxide so, in order to survive, bacteria must find ways to adapt to, and repair damage that occurs. Dr. Frawley is particularly interested in how nitric oxide affects metal-containing proteins and how metal transport impacts bacterial stress resistance. Current work focuses on the roles that bacterial copper and manganese transporters play during infection and how the function of these proteins is regulated.

University of Pretoria: UP Economics student named first runner-up in Budget Speech Competition
AcademicsInternational NewsUniversity News
By iednewsdesk	 On Apr 12, 2021
Stanley Mabuka, a master's degree student in Economics at the University of Pretoria (UP), was recently named first runner-up in the postgraduate category of the 2020 Nedbank & Old Mutual Budget Speech Competition.
Mabuka, who took home a R100 000 cash prize, said he was unaware of the competition until he saw a LinkedIn post 10 days before the submission date. Upon learning that winners would have an opportunity to interact with seasoned economists, industry experts and fellow students from other universities, he immediately started working on his essay submission. "Preparing for participation required discipline and hard work, as the demands of my heavyweight course left me with very little time to spare," Mabuka said.
The competition required postgraduate students to present arguments on whether the ownership and mandate of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) should be changed. "I argued that, while it is technically feasible to change the mandate to include economic growth and employment, changing ownership was a secondary issue that should not preoccupy the policy discourse, and has the potential to undermine SARB independence and policy credibility," he explained.
Mabuka said he received an immense amount of support from staff in the Department of Economics, which inspired him to deliver for UP. "Professor Steve Koch was one person I did not hesitate to bother whenever I needed technical support; Prof Nicola Viegi and Frederik Scholtz also provided support and insight during my preparations." Mabuka also thanked his macroeconomics lecturers, who he said did a fantastic job in building a solid macro theory that gave him an edge in crafting a piece of work that was found worthy of an accolade.
Prof Koch, Head of the Department of Economics, said they are immensely proud of Mabuka's performance. "Although we were there to help Stanley along the way, achievements of this nature require the self-starter spirit that he has. He has shown himself to be dedicated and hard-working. Even under last year's difficult circumstances, he excelled in his course work, and made special arrangements to continue to work and prepare for the competition. We are pleased that the judges also saw what we see; Stanley can and will make a difference. We are very proud to have him represent the Department and the University the way he did."
The top performers in the competition were announced during a virtual award ceremony, where finalists had the opportunity to interact with Dr David Masondo, Deputy Minister of Finance, and Nedbank and Old Mutual executives. "The competition was enriching and rewarding," Mabuka said. "I found it worthwhile because it confirmed that I could become a future leader. Things that stood out for me were the media training sessions, hot seat panel interviews and collaborative simulations with other bright students."
He said discipline and hard work were behind his performance, and encouraged UP students to enter this year's competition. "Take a leap of faith, give it your best shot and work hard – you will enjoy the entire experience. After all, you increase the probability of another student scooping the prize by deciding not to enter."
UP students Lee-Anne Andanje and John Hanssen also represented the University well by making the top 10 in the undergraduate category of the competition.

LIFE, UNASSURED
"So, the first question I have for you is, how are you?"
Samantha Autry, affectionately known by her peers as Scooter, sighs, glances around the small living room of her dorm in Swanson Hall, before glancing back up and shrugging softly.
"I'm doing okay," she said. "I'm feeling drained, but I've got pretty high hopes that it can only get better from here."
Life for Autry is, on the surface, draining indeed. Pulling all-nighters studying for tests and trying to muster the strength to make it to her 8 a.m. class while also trying to maintain a 3.0 GPA are all on her daily to-do list. However, the announcement that students who live on campus at Piedmont must have active health insurance to continue living on campus going into the next year, seemed like another thing to add to Autry's list of setbacks.
Born in April of 1998 in Covington, Georgia, Autry grew up with her mother Deborah, father Michael, and a sister, Maddie, in a seemingly standard American family unit.
Throughout her youth, however, Autry was able to pick up on frustrations that were bubbling under the surface between her parents, so even at the age of 7, it came as no surprise to her when her parents announced that they were divorcing.
"It was one of those divorce situations that you don't see on TV, where people are actually happy to get divorced," Autry said. "My mom was really nervous about it. I told her that it was the best news I'd heard in a long time when she told us."
Autry also finds no truth to the 'American family' societal ideal, as she nor any of her friends can relate to it.
"I feel like the ideal family is a dead dream," Autry said with a small laugh. "I've never had that, and I've never talked to anyone who has."
Growing up, money didn't grow on trees for Autry. While she was able to go to the ER if she needed to, regular checkups stopped at a young age, due to lack of the necessary household income. Suffice it to say, an active insurance plan isn't something Autry has the means to afford on her own.
"I haven't been to a checkup at the doctor since freshman year of high school," Autry said.
High school proved to as teenage drama and angst-ridden for Autry as it is for most. Break ups, friend groups dissolving and issues with a former friend who turned everyone against her plagued her sophomore and junior years.
However, Autry didn't allow these high school hiccups to break her spirit. Looking back, Autry realized that, while it may have been "petty he said she said" business, she took note of the negative behaviors people around her were displaying and decided she wanted no part of that.
"I stopped judging people so hard, I stopped putting people who hurt me ahead of me," Autry said. "I focused on myself and the people who had always been there for me."
College life for Autry started out idyllic, but during the course of her sophomore year, she has been experiencing some setbacks that leave her feeling disheartened.
"My freshman year went really well, but this year I've had some trouble keeping myself together," Autry said. "It feels more like what they talked about in high school, where you have to study, you have to focus, you have to attend class."
Autry recounted that in the initial announcement of the campus insurance policy, it was said that Piedmont would be offering a student health care plan. I reached out to Dean Emily Pettit for more information, and she replied with an email containing information on rates, deductibles, and all the standard financial fare.
"Through United Healthcare, the deductible will be $250 a year, physician visits $25, with an annual rate of $2,008 for students, with the possibility of students being able to use excess financial aid to pay when it is added to their student account," the email read.
Autry fears that, due to her lack of knowledge about insurance and inability to afford it, she'll be unable to return to Piedmont, which could derail her career path in technical theater.
"I don't really have the money to be in this college right now," Autry said. "My parents have helped me in the biggest way they could, but I'm still on the borderline of not being able to come back anyway, apart from this insurance thing."
Despite the numerous setbacks she faces, she considers herself to be motivated until the end, and those around her would have to agree.
Jordan Approbato, Autry's roommate since freshman year, lamented on Autry's dedication towards her work in theater.
"When she does theater work, her whole heart is into it, she's so dedicated to it." Approbato said.
When some days get a bit too rough for Autry, she keeps the advice of high school theater teacher, Mrs. Garrett, close to heart. Needing a fine arts credit in high school, she chose theater, and found it be the right fit for her, further cementing her career path in technical theater.
"The whole community grew with me." Autry said. "The teacher led me to doing behind the scenes work, and always told me that I was good at what I was doing."
When talking about the lasting impact that the late Mama Garrett had on her life, Autry's voice became shaky, and she had to pause to take a moment, reaching for a paper towel to dry her eyes.
"I still carry her words with me." Autry said, sniffling and dabbing her eyes with the paper towel.
Even when the world seems to be against Autry, she knows she is not the only student with the same fears for the future.
"It's not fair for those who have been given a bad hand in life in terms of money," Autry said. "There are people working so hard to get scholarships and take out loans, but not everyone has the same opportunities."
With Autry's financial state in mind, she's been considering taking a semester off of school to get it all together, though she can't help but feel discouraged.
"I've dug myself such a financial rut here," Autry said. "When you walk in here, they tell you it's going to be easy, and it's a whole different story for people struggling financially."
Despite all the adversities that Autry faces, she remains hopeful for her future, post college. She wants to go to Atlanta and get into the technical theater scene there, all while trying to find a steady paying job that will aid in paying off her student loans, as well as giving her the satisfaction that she's doing what she loves.
"So, I'll end the interview with this question. How are you, Scooter?"
She laughs to herself, and shrugs.
"I think I'm alright. I'm just going to keep moving forward from here, figure out my plans for the coming years. Nowhere to go but up, right?"

Nonfiction reviews: 'The Beats: A Graphic History,' 'Kerouac at Bat' and 'Digging'
By Greg Adams, The Oregonian
JERRY YULSMAN/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jack Kerouac in a Greenwich Village bar after a party for "The Dharma Bums" on Oct. 15, 1958.
Since the release of Allen Ginsberg's deluxe, oversized "Photographs" in 1991, there has been a steady flow of coffee table offerings by and about authors of the Beat Generation, including Jack Kerouac's posthumous "Some of the Dharma" in 1997, "The Rolling Stone Book of the Beats" in '99, Matt Theado's "The Beats: A Literary Reference" in '01, Fernanda Pivano's "Beat & Pieces" in '05 and Chris Felver's "Beat" in '07. Given the proclivities of the marketplace, many more such whatsems are to be expected, a dicey outcome to say the least. From where I sit, Beat as literature and lore, text and tale -- as simple a pleasure as watching rain fall or a cat cleaning itself -- is oddly served by packagings so lush, high tone, padded with surplus. Regardless of whatever "wider accord" might be sprinkled in the process on the Beat oeuvre, context is squandered, human scale is lost and genuinely interesting real lives are pampered to the flashpoint of celebrity glitz.
And now, dig it: a coffee-tabler that attempts the above, fails, and pratfalls in the opposite direction, playing to a perennial cliche -- that, far from elegant, things Beat are indeed shabby. "The Beats: A Graphic History" is as shabby as a Wal-Mart in Dubuque.
Written principally by Harvey Pekar, Mr. Graphic Splendor himself, and edited by some Ivy League academic, it contains more factual errors than any prior Beat book of comparable length. At the celebrated Six Gallery reading of 1955, for instance, Gary Snyder read "A Berry Feast," not "The Berry Piece." Kenneth Rexroth collaborated with Charles Mingus not during World War II, but in 1958. Amiri Baraka attended Howard, not Harvard, University. Philip Whalen returned to the U.S. in 1971, not the '90s, was ordained as a Buddhist monk in the Bay Area, not Japan, and died in 2002 -- he certainly wasn't alive (as alleged) at the time of publication (et cetera). Doesn't anyone fact-check anymore?
As if such hokum weren't enough, the graphics really pile on the embarrassment. To artist Ed Piskor, the faces of three main players are variations on the same generic mug: Kerouac is a blandly handsome boyish male, something like Jimmy Connors; Ginsberg is more or less that plus glasses, and later a beard (on Page 38, it's Jack, inexplicably, who has specs); William Burroughs is a rougher version of same, with crow's feet and fedora.
Joan Vollmer, Burroughs' dark-haired wife, is changed to a blonde. Naomi Ginsberg, Allen's mother, is Bette Midler with an Afro. The cover image of Michael McClure is basically that of guitarist Bob Weir. Robert Duncan, famously cross-eyed, is rendered uncrossed, a lookalike (by turns) for Jerry Brown, Keanu Reeves and Andy Kaufman. John Clellon Holmes, the biggest square of the bunch, is pictured as a hepcat.
Even when copping direct from photos, you have to know what you're doing, and Piskor is often clueless. Working from an iconic shot of Herbert Huncke, shirtless, on Burroughs' Texas farm, he substitutes Burroughs' face for Huncke's. Summer McClintock, meanwhile, appropriating pics of Charlie Parker, seems oblivious to the fact that she's placed the saxophonist alongside himself, a sideman in his own group. (What a cheesy, pointless book.)
For two decades-plus, from Kerouac's death, in 1969, to that of his third wife, Stella, a huge horde of Jack's unpublished papers was withheld from publication. Owing to his widow's contempt for the print media, it was not until 1992, with "Pomes All Sizes" appearing in City Lights' Pocket Poets series, that the Kerouac estate, i.e., Stella's profit-driven brother, began authorizing the release of Jack's writings and ephemera. While some titles have been little more than deadman's kitsch, others have been authentic treasures, literary grails minor to middling. "Kerouac at Bat: Fantasy Sports and the King of the Beats" is a bit of both.
Drawn from materials in the New York Public Library's Kerouac archive, curated and critiqued by Isaac Gewirtz, this quirky tome documents Jack's fascination with a fantasy baseball game he developed in his teens and continued to tinker with until the last years of his life. Imaginary players like Wino Love, Gus Texas and Go-Go Golian were assigned to such teams as the Pittsburgh Plymouths and Washington Chryslers, which played 40-game seasons, the outcomes of which were determined by dice rolls, card stats and whatnot -- overseen by the strategic presence of Jack as skipper to all sides. He entered details on scorecards, supplemented by postgame chatter: "PIE TIBBS, Pittsburgh's mighty hitter, will get $55,000 next season, according to rumors from Senator-Colonel Nick Levitt Farr's front office."
There's even an exchange of letters concerning a possible trade for Joe DiMaggio, in which Jack (as "manager" of the Detroit franchise) is rudely rebuffed: "I would not let go of DiMaggio for those stumblebums if you threw in the city hall, library, B&M carshop, and the Ford M.C. of Dt."
Most of this stuff is terrific, enlivened by what Beat surrealist Philip Lamantia would call a sense of "the Marvelous," but I find too many of Gewirtz's speculations stodgy and inapt. "In 1958," he writes, "Kerouac changed the names of his baseball teams from those of automobiles to colors, perhaps because the latter seemed less juvenile." But Jack hardly made such distinctions. If there's anything we should know by now, it's that he never quite "rose above" the juvenile component of his essential innocence. At its most hopped-up, such juvenilia was, if anything, at one with his beatific vision.
As fate would have it, I didn't read "On the Road" as a teenager -- didn't read any Kerouac, in fact, till I was 35 or 36. The first writing I encountered by someone I would later recognize as Beat was a series of jazz pieces in Down Beat by LeRoi Jones, as Amiri Baraka was then known. In a mag serving mainly as a tepid trade sheet that routinely shilled for the likes of Stan Getz and Oscar Peterson, Jones' bold, passionate support for such fire-breathers as John Coltrane and Cecil Taylor stood in high contrast. With diamond-eyed focus, he championed these musicians not as "iconoclastic" contenders, contentious blips on the mainstream jazz radar, but as full-fledged, fully-formed artists whose musical agendas were seminal and necessary. (At 17, I hadn't read anything that so viscerally spoke to me, and surely it was Jones' model that enabled me to truck in music-crit myself in the years that followed.)
In the half-century since, as author of volumes spanning the genres of poetry, fiction, drama and cultural criticism, Jones/Baraka has established himself as Beat's only quadruple threat, and today he is probably the most important of the dozen or so Actual Beats still living. "Digging: The Afro-American Soul of American Classical Music," his fourth music book, is a collection of essays, profiles and reviews that have seen the light in the 22 years since the last one ("The Music"). Virtually everything here is as lively and compelling as his strongest work of the past, and a trio of takes on Albert Ayler are together, I would argue, the most incisive, definitive, magical, true portrait of a jazzman and his music -- of any era -- ever writ.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a complex man who took an unconventional approach to a difficult problem. He used non-violent protests to focus attention on civil rights in the United States. While he fought the status quo, he encouraged other Americans, who believed in civil rights for all people, to have the courage of their convictions.
In many ways, Dr. King was a role model. He remained true to his beliefs and encouraged others to remain true to theirs – even when changing horses might have curried favor.
We, too, have the courage of our convictions. It's the reason we adhere to a disciplined investment process. We monitor economic and market developments closely, but we do not let the noise of day-to-day events determine our actions. If you have any questions about our process, please give us a call.

Fritz Lang continues his take-no-prisoners indictment of America's curious relationship with crime; this time he presents the thesis that an innocent man can be a pawn in cosmic game of injustice. Three-time loser Henry Fonda, the glummest actor in '30s films, doesn't mean to rob or kill, but gosh darn it, They Made Him a Criminal. Those considerations aside, it's a wonderful cinematic achievement, made all the better by a decent digital restoration.
1937 / B&W / 1:37 Academy / 86 min. / Street Date July 25, 2017 / 29.98
Starring: Sylvia Sidney, Henry Fonda, Barton MacLane, Jean Dixon,
William Gargan, Jerome Cowan, Charles 'Chic' Sale, Margaret Hamilton, Warren Hymer,
Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams, Ward Bond, Jack Carson, Jonathan Hale
Cinematography: Leon Shamroy
Art Direction: Alexander Toluboff
Film Editor: Daniel Mandell
Original Music: Hugo Friedhofer
Written by Graham Baker and Gene Towne
Produced by Walter Wanger
Directed by Fritz Lang
According to Fritz Lang's major biographer Lotte Eisner, the director said in 1955 that his second U.S. film You Only Live Once is "in my view a completely American film without a trace of Europe in it." It's difficult to agree with Lang, seeing how heavily stylized the movie is toward his German roots. The grim fate determined for its young lovers is as rigid as the paths of Siegfried and Kriemheld. Only Lang's enormous reputation (and surely his own opinion of himself) kept him going for the five years it took him to find his place in America. He made no friends at his first studio, MGM, even though the masterful film he made there, Fury, did well. Fury broke new ground, addressing lynch law in the format of a suspense thriller. But You Only Live Once takes on the entire subject of criminal wrongdoing, to show an innocent man forced to behave like a mad killer. He's not responsible, but the whole American system is. It's very American to accept the fact that when you step off the straight and narrow, all Hell will break loose. This picture's emotional argument breaks all the rules.
Savant is a big Fritz Lang fan, and You Only Live Once is very useful as a yardstick to understanding the director. The beautifully directed movie is, the fifth in a string of Lang masterpieces, after "M"
The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, Liliom and Fury. Lang's fine direction of his stars Henry Fonda and Sylvia Sidney runs counter to the style of the late 1930s, which in itself isn't a bad idea. As a film theory movie, it's obviously another gem, rich with cinematic graces. But the moral and intellectual arguments of the story are tilted toward the fatalistic purity of a fairy-tale. Instead of poisoned apples or a magic mirror, it's Young Lovers Against Evil Society.
After serving a three-year jail sentence, the bitter Eddie Taylor (Henry Fonda) just wants to go straight and marry his sweetheart Joan Graham (Sylvia Sydney). Joan's boss Stephen Whitney (Barton MacLane), despite loving Joan himself, has arranged Eddie's parole and lined up a job for him, in concert with Father Dolan (William Gargan) a priest/social worker who believes in Eddie. But Eddie finds himself in a rage over an abusive employer and old confederates that want to exploit him. Framed for a crime he didn't commit, he's sentenced to die on circumstantial evidence and makes up his mind that the law is his mortal enemy. The authorities bring the news of a pardon just as Eddie is in the act of an armed escape, using a doctor as a hostage. Assuming the pardon is a cheap ruse, he shoots a chaplain who tries to help him and goes on the run with Joan. They become desperate fugitives, in love and together, but unhappy and with no future except death.
You Only Live Once is dazzling filmmaking. Joan and Eddie throw their future to the wind, in a nightmare of conflicting emotions — defeatist idealism and criminal amour fou. On the lam in a car perforated with bullet holes, they're an outlaw John and Mary in search of a manger. The press makes Eddie's inoffensive flight for freedom into a vicious crime wave. Two gas station attendants rob the till and blame it on the Terrible Taylors.
"They made me a killer," is Eddie Taylor's outraged cry. MacLane has found him a job, but his reputation as a parolee is an excuse for a sadistic boss to fire him for being late. Cranky old innkeepers throw the honeymooners out of their room. To make the 'victim of society' rap stick, Lang presents Eddie's persecutors as a pack of hypocrites. Every step of the way, Eddie Taylor is the innocent victim of circumstance, prejudice, and malice. The pregnant Joan takes the blame upon herself, deciding that because she advised Eddie to submit to the justice of the courts, it's HER fault that he was is convicted. No longer believing in anything, Eddie is now a desperate killer, barely understanding what's happening around him. The movie insists that he's the downtrodden common man, struggling under the heel of Evil Society.
This is one impressive show, fast-paced and continually inventive. As a visual communicator Lang is far advanced of the Hollywood norm. He assembles precise montages and arranges clear visual associations to show his ill-fated lovers ensnared in a trap of fate. Some of these visuals are pure expressionism. Eddie Taylor agonizes in a prison cell that throws an exaggerated, web-like pattern of shadows on the prison floor. When it's time to make a crucial decision in the prison yard, he's marooned in a fog that limits his vision and blurs his judgment. At one point the lovers are caught in a gun-sight iris effect, framed together like a valentine cameo.
Lang continually returned to themes of 'hate, murder and revenge.' This time the context is definitely traumatic, hopeless. The Taylors give birth to a baby on the run, as they dash for the border. They're all alone, with every sheriff's gun pointed in their direction. Lang's grandiose cinematics elevate them to a level of mythic grandeur.
Lang would soon fit in better with the American sensibility, but in this show he's still 'cooking the stew' with bizarre expressionistic ingredients, like a very non-realistic insistence on strong symbolism. Not until Jim Henson would a movie become so invested in frogs.
Lang creates a major parallel between our lovers and a pair of frogs in a pond. We learn that Eddie's sad path to crime first began when he was sent to a reformatory for beating up a boy torturing innocent frogs. He tells his bride a fable about frogs mating until death, that's repeated to weird effect, like an ancient curse. A frog seems to doom their future, when the ripples it makes on the water disturb the lovers' reflection. When Joan decides to kill herself, her only message to Eddie is that she "hasn't forgotten about the frogs." We see her actually start to drink the poison. The lovers can fight unfair employers and prejudiced landlords, but the curse on them comes straight from a Fairy Tale. This is what contradicts Lang when he claims the film is not European in tone. This entire dated business usually earns laughs in screenings of You Only Live Twice, if only because the symbolism of the frogs is so obvious — as Eddie simmers on Death Row, we almost expect to see a thought balloon image above his head, containing the face of an accusing frog.
But Eddie and Joan might as well have the word 'doom' stenciled on their foreheads. Joan has convinced him to give himself up, but circumstantial evidence frames him for the murder of six policemen and he's condemned to death. On the night of his execution, Joan is ready to die with him, a lover's death pact that also resonates with German folklore. Now, with all ties to civilization burned away, Eddie gets his chance for escape. Does an innocent man not have a right to fight for his life? He answers a chaplain's plea with a bullet, just as the news comes of a pardon. As he's already holding a gun on Father Dolan, he's convinced that the news of the pardon is a cheap trick. What is proven if Lang insists that Eddie is damned no matter what he does?
Is the picture film noir, or a proto-noir, or just a crime film with overwrought emotions? I'd say it's really an early 'social consciousness' picture half-drowned in all that Germanic deterministic fatalism. The near-absurd narrative relentlessly punishes good intentions.
It's one thing for a cruel coincidence or two to bedevil a flawed hero. In this show the Cruel Finger of Fate squashes Eddie as if he were a bug. Graham Baker and Gene Town's script is more than just biased, it rigs events to morally justify Eddie and Joan's alienation from society. A flawed world is ultimately responsible, not them. They continue to receive help from Joan's selfless boss Stephen. Both he and Joan's sister Bonnie (Jean Dixon) are willing to support the runaway couple. Today they would be considered accessories after the fact. Even hardboiled films noir don't endorse this crazy of a worldview — 'loser' noir protagonists like the pessimistic Al Roberts and the insecure Harry Fabian are snared by bizarre circumstances, but in the end they are free agents who must take personal responsibility for their fates. You Only Live Once is a pre-noir fantasy of insane injustice.
Brilliant as it is, the movie is an emotional fantasy that distorts reality — it wants to make a liberal plea for understanding and justice, but substitutes 'hate, murder and revenge' for psychology. In 1937 it must have seemed an irresponsible defense of the notorious bandits in the news, the ones that gave the FBI big headlines. Some people already considered Bonnie & Clyde and Pretty Boy Floyd to be folk heroes righteously combating banks conspiring to rob the poor and steal their land. The colorful maniac John Dillinger loved to be described as a Robin Hood.
The bleak ending makes a literal jump into the weird fantasy of Lang's silent Destiny, complete with a heavenly choir and forgiveness from beyond the grave. Dillinger would have loved to receive such a send-off – Eddie's exit is fit for a martyr in a religious epic.
You Only Live Once is the first of several 'fugitive Romeo and Juliet' movies often considered as a group. Nicholas Ray's They Live by Night and Joseph H. Lewis' Gun Crazy are the other two classics, and Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde and Robert Altman's Thieves Like Us are from the more self-conscious post-noir era. Oliver Stone, David Lynch, Terrence Malick and Quentin Tarantino have of course been to the same conceptual spring. Western movies have always had their noble outlaws, and early gangster films made excuses for outlawry, but You Only Live Once has the audacity to postulate an America so Evil that criminals are almost the only virtuous citizens. It's boldly expressionistic, but also very weird sociology.
Henry Fonda was at this time just beginning to build his own screen persona as a liberal icon, an unshakeable pillar of ethics. If John Wayne were to play a criminal character, somebody somewhere would need a punch in the face. But if Henry Fonda is a bad guy, something is fundamentally wrong with America. Fonda starred in producer Walter Wanger's anti-Fascist Blockade the same year. John Ford would eventually exploit these associations by casting Fonda in The Grapes of Wrath, where his Tom Joad exemplified the nobility of the downtrodden man, in liberal terms. In You Only Live Once Fonda pouts, whines and mutters vile oaths to the nameless society that scourges him. The casting is perfect, but there's nothing subtle about Lang's approach: "Thou shalt not kill, Eddie." "Whattaya think they're gonna do to ME?!"
Sylvia Sydney was surely filmdom's liberal conscience of the decade. Fascinatingly warm and beautiful, she had already played the 'good' girl opposite Gary Cooper's suave crook in Rouben Mamoulian's City Streets. She's the tearful victim of injustice in Fury and continued with Fritz Lang for the ingenious but wholly misjudged crime melodrama/musical, the next year's You and Me, with George Raft. That's not to mention William Wyler's Dead End, Alfred Hitchcock's Sabotage and the social justice outrage film …One Third of a Nation…. Years ago, my kids were shocked to find that Ms. Sidney was the same actress from Tim Burton's Beetlejuice and Mars Attacks! She's a genuine legend.
It's odd to see Barton MacLane playing such a good guy; it almost makes us uneasy. William Gargan and Jerome Cowan come through for Lang as well. In smaller parts can be seen Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams, a familiar Errol Flynn hanger-on from Warner westerns, and in a bit, Ward Bond, who went thirty years before becoming a household name on TV's Wagon Train. It's odd to see so many semi-comic crooks: Warren Hymer as well. You might catch a young Jack Carson as a gas attendant. The most fun comes with Margaret Hamilton's appearance as a battle-axe innkeeper's wife, sort of a Wicked Desk Clerk of the West.
ClassicFlix's Blu-ray of You Only Live Once is a very good scan from what is seemingly an English element, as it comes complete with a Brit censor card. The wear is very light, just a few tiny scratches. As compared to the old (2003) Image DVD, the transfer is much sharper, much more stable and yields a picture with very good contrast. The show hasn't looked this good in ages; all those beautifully composed and lit scenes are finally up to a level worthy of appreciation. The audio track is also without issues. A restoration comparison is included.
At first I was concerned that this might be a censored cut — England chopped up American movies pretty badly in those days — but I did a comparison and the show seems 100% intact. The heavenly choir and Voice of God at the end gave me a false memory of a final shot with beams of holy light opening the gates of heaven. Nope, Lang ends on a wholly tasteful image.
Author and TCM writer Jeremy Arnold's commentary track is a pleasant listen; he covers most of the bases on basic information for Fritz Lang's film and knows enough not to call it an authentic film noir. His actor and filmmaker information is interesting, and he makes a good case for the exemplary career of producer Walter Wanger.
The King Bros. bought a chunk of You Only Live Once for their 1945 gangster movie Dillinger: an entire scene, the exciting tear gas robbery of an armored truck, is lifted almost intact. The crooks wear gas masks, so none of them can be recognized. The editors even have the audacity to include Lang's impressive camera move up to the eyes of a crook peering out the back of a getaway car, and pass them off as those of actor Lawrence Tierney. According to Lotte Eisner, Fritz Lang was appalled by the idea that a director's work could be chopped up like this. But he'd already learned that Hollywood didn't support the artistic integrity of directors' work, when money was involved.
The label ClassicFlix is embarking on a series of improved Blu-rays of films that could use the boost in quality. If this is an indication of what's to come, I'll be eager to see more.

It pleases me to say that my most recent large-scale artwork will be on display and available for purchase as part of an invitational exhibition now hanging in my hometown.
The invitation to participate is an honor for two reasons. It is always good for one to know that local people appreciate collage, especially the more esoteric kind. Even more humbling is to be included among some truly outstanding Kentucky artists, such as Sheldon Tapley, Helene Steene, Kathleen O'Brien, and Marianna McDonald. I'm looking forward to the reception this Thursday. Mayor Steven Connelly of nearby Berea will speak on the powerful effect the arts can have on local economies. According to Programming Director Brandon Long, the intention is to showcase "fresh, new art that has the kind of excitement and energy of artists who know their work will go on display." Many of the diverse works were created specifically for the exhibition, and that includes mine. Everything accepted had to have been executed since September.
Diamonds in the Rough is a composite of panels and stretchers. It is my latest effort to free collage from behind glass and approach the medium in a manner similar to the painted surface that stands on its own. I also departed from my typical rectilinear format, yet sought to maintain the type of perpendicularity that I frequently exploit for a unified structure. As usual, the color balance of found material plays a vital role in my overall composition. The lineage of the collage miniature is strong here. In fact, nearly everything I do to produce a major work comes from what I have learned from the small-format approach. This recognition is not meant in any way to devalue the miniature. I would hope that you have come to know my penchant well enough by now to appreciate that.
The next entry will include some detail crops and perhaps a few remarks about the process, too.

Those who think they've seen 'mass deaths via COVID' haven't seen anything yet compared to the coming carnage by poverty, famine and tyrannical democide if Americans 'surrender'
Historical plagues taught people of the affected areas much about the incompetency of experts in the realm of medicine, politics, theology, etc., but I'm not sure Americans have learned much.
(Article by Dr. Don Boys republished from AllNewsPipeline.com)
When major plagues finally and mysteriously left a devastated country, interest in religious matters decreased because many clergymen died, and so many prayers were unanswered. Of course, God-haters have used unanswered prayer as an excuse for unbelief since the beginning of time. J. L. Cloudsley-Thompson wrote, "It is beyond the bounds of possibility for anyone to estimate the influence of epidemic disease on religion and philosophy. Nor can we clearly assess its influence on the material course of human history."
The Greek historian Polybius (204-122 B.C.), known as the most reliable ancient historian, reported the whole of Greece had been visited in his time by childlessness and a general decline of the population resulting in the emptying of the cities and the failure of the land to render its produce. He said men refused to marry or, if they married, refused to have children. If they had children, they refused to rear them. He said that men went out of their way to be ostentatious, avaricious, and indolent.
Sounds rather contemporaneous.
Several historians believe the Greeks fell to the Romans because of malaria attacks, not marching armies. Malaria was rampant throughout the Greek world by 400 B.C. The malarial parasite killed infants, weakened unsuspecting children, forced the vacating of the best farmlands, and helped reduce Greeks into listless, lazy, and licentious people. As a result, the power and glory of ancient Greece became a mocking memory.
Some historians, in my opinion, give too much credit to the mosquito for the fall of Greece. It was a significant factor, but men must always be held accountable for their actions. Today, a man gets drunk, kills a carload of people, and pleads that he was not in control and should not be held responsible. Others tell us that sugar impaired their ability, and they lost control and should not be accountable for the results they produced. No doubt, there is some truth to those claims. The same was true in Greece. Malaria did make them listless, therefore, lazy, but they chose to be licentious.
In our time, duped, deceived, defiant, and destructive youth are dedicated to destroying our way of life. They are not innocent do-gooders but are devoted to changing our liberty-based government to a Socialist/Communist system. They are the enemy. Others are using the COVID threat to accomplish the same transformation: American should be dismantled or destroyed.
Significant change is happening in America with more changes ahead of us, and if we lose our freedom, the reasons won't be that important.
The Greeks slowly lost their brilliance, which was thought to be the quintessence of original thought. This degeneration is evident in their art and literature and other areas of creativity. W.H.S. Jones wrote, "Their initiative vanished; they ceased to create and began to comment. Patriotism, with rare exceptions, became an empty name, for few had the high spirit and energy to translate into action man's duty to the state. Vacillation, indecision, fitful outbursts of harmful activity followed by cowardly depression, selfish cruelty, and criminal weakness are characteristics of the public life of Greece from the struggle with Macedonia to the final conquest by the armies of Rome."
Sounds familiar.

Illegal immigrants in Tel Aviv 'invited' to actress Sarah Silverman's sister's home as right-wing activists distribute 'invitations'.
Dr. Michael Ben-Ari and Baruch Marzel arrived in southern Tel Aviv today and distributed leaflets to infiltrators in Tigrinya, the language spoken by natives of Eritrea and parts of Ethiopia.
The leaflets contain addresses and phone numbers of left-wing activists and Meretz MKs who have backed the demand by some infiltrators to be given legal status in Israel. Marzel and Ben-Ari encouraged infiltrators to avail themselves of the leftist activists' "hospitality" personally by providing the activists' personal contact information in mock invitations.
Dr. Ben-Ari explained the flyer's content: "The flyers offer infiltrators a comfortable place to live: 'We invite you to come to us, and when they deport you, you will find with us a warm home; with us you'll find free food,' etc.
This is very funny, but I'm totally against giving out private addresses, no matter how much they might deserve it. Bad things can spiral out of the control and expectations of the pranksters.
The example I always cite is John Lennon self-doxxing himself in interviews in 1979-1980 in which he was a good sport about pointing out that he wasn't exactly living up to the lyrics he wrote for "Imagine:" he himself owned expensive property in which he lived within the massive Dakota building on Central Park in Manhattan.
But what could be the danger from Lennon's revelations? He was as secure within the Dakota's fortress-like walls as anybody could be.

United And Boeing Finalise 737 MAX And 787 Large Order
ByEditorial Staff

United Airlines and Boeing have announced that they have reached an agreement on purchasing 200 planes.
United Airlines plans to purchase 200 brand-new planes, 100 737 MAXs and 100 Boeing 787s. The company ordered 56 new 737 MAX planes and picked up 44 options, and this Dreamliner purchase is the most significant order of its kind.
"United emerged from the pandemic as the world's top global airline and the flag carrier of the United States," stated Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines. By advancing our strategy to link more people to more locations across the world and providing the best experience in the sky, "this order further reinforces our position and opens new opportunities for our customers, workers, and shareholders."
United Airlines has ordered 530 Boeing planes, including 430 737 MAX planes, for its future fleet.
With an ageing fleet, the airline has to hunt for new widebody aircraft to ensure a more fuel-efficient fleet in the near future; thus, the order is not unexpected.
As of now, United Airlines operates a fleet of 96 Boeing 777s, 53 767s, and 66 787s. Planespotters.net shows that the average age of the two most recent generations of aircraft is 25.1 and 19.3 years old, respectively.
The airline has one unfulfilled order for a 787 as of 31 October 2022, according to Boeing's Orders & Deliveries data.
United Airlines predicted that by 2024 it will have received its first of several 787s, as stated in a filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). United Airlines has "widebody aircraft replacement needs," including the Boeing 767 fleet and certain Boeing 777 aircraft, according to the filing, and "about 120 widebody aircraft in the fleet would approach the age of 30 years by the end of the delivery term."
45 Airbus A350s are still on order for United Airlines. Under the same SEC filing, these planes will fly in sometime around 2024.
Regarding the Boeing 737 MAX, United Airlines anticipates receiving 95 planes in 2023, 131 aircraft in 2024, and 210 planes after 2024.
The President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Stan Deal, stated that United's investment in the 737 MAX and 787 would help the airline speed up its fleet modernisation and worldwide expansion plans. Boeing says it is "honoured" by United's decision to invest in its aircraft family for decades of global passenger and freight transportation.

Sitting down to my morning read with a trusty cup of coffee, my Bible opened to 1Peter 2:11-25. The title over this section says: Christian Submission...just like that...simple. Right? And that got me to thinking. Why is that a knee jerk reaction in my spirit when I read those words?
The truth is, the word itself is hard. I know nobody who says, "Wow, I really like submission." Most people naturally would like to avoid the discussion and if I was very smart I probably wouldn't try to explain why it it is hard. But stuff happens in life, in our churches, in our homes, even in our country, and I think it is important for us to stop avoiding the pain of submission and look at what the Bible says about it.
Don't be sad, there is yet hope.
You can listen to chaos or hear peace.
Peace is still there you know, if you want it.
Of haters and whiners and bad manners.
But also you might find clean, sparkling truth.
To see God at work.
To watch it prevail; because it is stronger.
And empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
Don't be sad; there is always Hope.
Last week, Bruce turned forty. I took a day off work and planned a party for him for the evening. It was all that parties should be and he was very successfully celebrated. The only thing I remembered to take a picture of was the cheese board I set up on the island and that didn't show the actual thing as nice as it really was. But anyhow, he turned forty and now we can be forty together for a couple months.
We didn't see each other very much this week. Bruce is cramming for exams for this coming Monday. I was cramming to finish up the school week and school sale projects. On Friday we had the day off school to prepare for school sale. PLUS we got sick. I resisted the virus all week but it did indeed catch up with me especially this morning during the sale. Thankfully, I was able to do my assigned job and help with the making of the apple butter for the first time before heading home and curling up on the couch.
I am so happy for you if this never happens to you. And I am also so happy for you if you never worry and think of weird "what ifs" at four in the morning.
However, this post isn't about bravery and I will not be handing out awards for those who sleep soundly in their beds at night. This post could be categorized under honesty and a little bit of candid humor. At least that is what it is meant to be.
Bruce and I were on our sailing trip in the Sea of Cortez . While I slept he sailed the boat. Sometime during the night he was thrown into the sea by the waves. When I awoke he was not anywhere on the boat and I was alone, under full sail, and didn't know where to go to even try to retrieve him.
When grownup Christians act childish and petty...this breaks my heart. And when mature Christians look inwardly too deeply and become judgmental of other Christians...this also breaks my heart. I think it breaks the heart of Jesus too. He gave His life so we could be free of such things, instead we choose to be bound to our old man.
Did you know your local church could be destroyed overnight by one person throwing a baby fit about a trivial matter such as color of carpet or where someone sits in the Sunday morning service? Pathetic isn't it? People claiming the name of Jesus and acting like that. Whatever happened to the grace of God in their lives? Have they not been freed from sin or what?
We are winding down the first quarter of school. While a few aspects of teaching are easier this year, many things are indeed harder. I don't know why. Possibly because now things are predictable; like the behavior of children. Nine of my students are the same ones I had last year so their characters are still them but with a little older twist.
One boy, a very smart boy, could get straight A's if he would only apply himself. He finds it easier to fly through his work and then need to make 49 corrections. He hates following directions and tries every which way other than the directions given. He thinks outside every box of "normal". If he sees his grades dropping enough to lower his average he will hop to and get about three 100's to compensate so he can make it on the honor roll.

Reasonably Equivalent Value: What Distressed-Asset Buyers Should Know
Published by Stout
While COVID-19 may present acquisition opportunities as companies sell various assets, buyers should be aware of the intricacies of the federal bankruptcy code.
COVID-19, without a doubt, has imposed incredible financial difficulties upon many businesses in the United States. Certain industries such as retail, hospitality, leisure, and foodservice have been most directly impacted, but the damage has extended, indirectly, into manufacturing, business services, and other sectors, as well. At this point, it seems that no part of the economy will be left untouched. In the face of such difficulties, liquidity-strapped companies may look to sell certain non-core assets or portions of their business (e.g., divisions or product lines) in order to raise capital to fund their remaining operations. In addition, companies that are staring down an imminent bankruptcy filing may also choose to sell assets in an attempt to maximize proceeds for the bankruptcy estate.
This could present attractive buying opportunities for companies and investors that remain well-capitalized during the downturn. However, the purchase of distressed assets presents unique issues under the federal bankruptcy code that buyers should keep in mind when conducting their due diligence on such assets.
The U.S. Bankruptcy Code and Reasonably Equivalent Value
If a distressed business sells assets and then ultimately declares bankruptcy following the sale, the bankruptcy trustee may examine certain transactions that occurred leading up to the bankruptcy filing under Section 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. If those transactions are found to be fraudulent, the court may avoid the transactions and attempt to bring the assets back into the bankruptcy estate or otherwise make the bankruptcy estate whole.
There are two types of fraudulent transfers or fraudulent conveyances that a trustee may seek to recover in a bankruptcy proceeding – those where there was actual fraud on the part of the debtor, and those where the bankruptcy court determines that the transfers were constructively fraudulent. Actual fraud involves the actual intent to defraud creditors. Constructive fraud, on the other hand, is defined under Section 548(a)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code as a transfer of assets that was made in exchange for less than reasonably equivalent value and one in which the debtor was insolvent at the time of transfer or was rendered insolvent as a result of the transfer. In assessing whether a transfer was constructively fraudulent, intent is irrelevant. Rather, assuming the courts have determined that the debtor was in fact insolvent at the time of the transfer or was rendered insolvent as a result of the transfer – and, given that the debtor has declared bankruptcy, this should not be a difficult hurdle to clear absent an extraordinary change in circumstances between the transfer date and the bankruptcy filing – the court will then turn its attention to whether the transfer was made for less than reasonably equivalent value at the time it occurred.
If the court determines that reasonably equivalent value was received in exchange for assets that were transferred pre-bankruptcy, it will ostensibly find that there was no constructive fraud (after all, the bankruptcy estate, and therefore its creditors, have presumably not been harmed if the value received by the company in the transaction was reasonably equivalent to the value given up by the company). If the opposite is true, however, then a finding of constructive fraud is possible. This then begs the question – how exactly does one measure reasonably equivalent value?
Measuring Reasonably Equivalent Value
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question. The U.S. Bankruptcy Code does not define reasonably equivalent value. Rather, Congress left it up to the courts to determine its meaning. In making this assessment, the courts have generally considered "reasonably equivalent value" and "fair consideration" to have effectively the same meaning and have often adopted fair market value as a starting point in its analysis, where fair market value is defined as the price paid in an arm's length transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller.[1] The parties to the bankruptcy litigation may look to independent valuation experts to help them put forth their arguments regarding the fair market value of the assets or business that were transferred. These valuation experts, in turn, will likely utilize commonly accepted valuation methodologies in valuing the assets. These methodologies may include the Income Approach, the Market Approach, and the Asset Approach.
The Income Approach measures value by projecting the future economic benefits (e.g., earnings or cash flow) that the owner of the assets may expect to receive by virtue of their ownership, and discounting those benefits back to a present-day value at a rate of return that is commensurate with the assets' risk. If applying the Market Approach, the valuation expert would review the prices paid for similar assets or businesses, either in the public markets or in M&A transactions for comparable companies. Lastly, the Asset Approach looks to the cost to replicate or replace the assets individually, rather than the future economic benefits that may be derived from operating the assets together. At their discretion, the valuation expert may apply all of these methodologies in estimating value or select only those that it deems to be applicable given the facts and circumstances surrounding the business or assets that were transferred.
Importantly, since the overriding purpose of Section 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is the preservation of value for unsecured creditors, the courts have made it clear that the fair market value of the assets or business transferred should be analyzed from the creditor's point of view. Moreover, value should be measured as of the date of the transfer, not after, and should exclude any subsequent depreciation or appreciation of value. Therefore, any buyer-specific synergies that may have impacted the buyer's perception of value at the time of the transfer or that may have affected value since the transfer (such as the buyer's ability to reduce corporate overhead costs as part of a larger organization, or increase revenues by selling products through a more robust distribution network) should not be part of the fair market value analysis. Similarly, any intangible assets (e.g., patents or know-how) that only have value in the hands of the debtor should not be considered, either.
Ultimately, the court is interested in whether the fair market value of the assets transferred is roughly equal to the purchase price or consideration that was received by the debtor in return. The comparison of values need not be strictly equivalent, however. Rather, any large or significant disparity between the fair market value of what the debtor gave up and what the debtor received in return may preclude a finding of reasonable equivalence.
Demonstrating Reasonable Equivalence Before the Court
The finding of a constructively fraudulent conveyance by the bankruptcy court could result in a number of unwelcome consequences for the buyer of the assets or business in question. Theoretically, the court could order the transaction in question to be unwound, and the buyer could be forced to return the assets to the bankruptcy estate in exchange for the price it paid for those assets. Practically, however, this may be difficult to do if the buyer has already begun to integrate the acquired business into its own operations. Alternatively, the buyer can be forced to pay the difference between the price it paid and the court's determination of the fair market value of the assets. Ultimately, the court's objective is to place the debtor back into the same position that it was in, financially speaking, before the transfer in question was made. In either case, however, it is an outcome that the buyer of the assets would, presumably, very much prefer to avoid.
A fair market value opinion from a qualified appraiser will assist the buyer of distressed assets in supporting an argument of reasonable equivalence if a transaction is ultimately contested on these grounds. It should be noted that this may not, in and of itself, provide complete evidence of reasonably equivalent value under the bankruptcy code. There is no fixed mathematical formula or bright line rule used to determine reasonable equivalence. Rather, the courts will determine on a case-by-case basis whether the value received in exchange for the transfer of property by the debtor is reasonably equivalent. In doing so, they will review the totality of the circumstances and may consider not only the tangible economic benefits that the debtor received in the exchange, but also factors such as whether the transaction was conducted at arm's length, whether the parties demonstrated good faith, and other intangible or indirect benefits that are not always easily measured (such as the debtor's enhanced ability to borrow following the transfer or the impact on the debtor's ability to retain an important source of supply or an important customer). Thus, reasonable equivalence may not be entirely synonymous with fair market value. However, there seems to be no doubt that an educated assessment of fair market value is an important starting point for the court's review and is a critical factor in its ultimate determination of reasonable equivalence.

Loyola Senior Wins Elite Hearst Television News Award
By Loyola University on Thu, 04/23/2020 - 19:21 Press Releases
(New Orleans, La. – April 23, 2020) Breaking news! A Loyola University New Orleans senior has been named one of the top 10 winners in Television News in the 60th annual William Randolph Hearst Foundation's Journalism Awards program. This is the first-ever Hearst Award won by a student from Loyola New Orleans. The elite competition pulls from the nation's top journalism and communication schools. One hundred and four universities with accredited undergraduate journalism programs are eligible to participate in the Hearst competitions.
Loyola New Orleans journalism senior Lily Cummings, who has interned with WDSU-TV, worked on the assignment desk at WWL-TV and interned at CBS News, placed seventh in the Hearst Awards, which selected winners from 45 schools nationwide in the second and final TV competition held this academic year. Cummings won by submitting two broadcast news packages, including one about the recent collapse of the Hard Rock Hotel in New Orleans. She returns this summer to her hometown of Tulsa, Okla., to be a reporter for KTUL-TV, "Tulsa's Channel 8."
"This is an incredible honor, bestowed on only the best in television news," said Sonya Duhe, director of Loyola New Orleans' School of Communication and Design. "The Hearst Award is an awesome acknowledgement of Lily Cummings' talent – and the wonderful work we do here at Loyola New Orleans in the School of Communication and Design."
The incredible honor marks a triumph for both Cummings and the university, said Duhé, who has led Loyola's award-winning School of Communication and Design in recent years to attain accreditation from the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Communications and the Certification in Education for Public Relations.
Under her leadership, which began in 2009, journalism faculty at Loyola have worked hard to ensure the university acquired state-of-the art broadcast equipment and professional television studios, as a means to advancing excellence through the journalism curriculum. A Board of Regents grant in 2015 provided funds for foundational equipment and a studio that allowed students to produce television broadcasts.
Endowed funds and recent fundraising through the university's Faith in the Future campaign allowed Loyola top open its new state-of-the-art J. Michael Early Studio this fall and to complete the university's Digital Communication Hub, a digital and audio transmissions facility that allows students, faculty experts, industry leaders and residents to conduct real-time interviews around the world via broadcast, radio and even podcast.
As Loyola has updated its journalism program in recent years, capstone journalism students have been given backpacks filled with broadcast equipment that have allowed them to cover breaking news 24/7. Faculty have implemented a Producer Incubator Lab, which uses industry professionals from Gray Television to train future newsroom producers; built a diverse roster of professionals in residence; expanded digital media capabilities, and helped students to garner a host of competitive awards, including the College Media Association's Pinnacle Award and a Pacemaker Award from the Associated College Press, widely considered 'the Pulitzer Prize of College of Journalism.'

MPMC - Education, Honors, Awareness
in Member News MPMC Webinar MPMC Award Winners
SEMA Member News - March/April 2010
MPMC Finds New Outlet With Seminars/Webinars
MPMC hopes that increased involvement in seminar and webinar events like the one the council hosted at the 2009 SEMA Show will increase exposure for its member manufacturers.
As reported in the last issue of SEMA Member News, the Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council (MPMC) hosted a panel discussion/seminar titled "Motorsports Marketing: How to Measure Your Return" as part of SEMA Education Days at the SEMA Show. The event was such a success for the MPMC that the Select Committee is looking to utilize similar seminar venues as a new means of increasing the council's exposure.
"The seminar at the Show was an experiment," said MPMC Chairman Bill Floyd. "We were all happy with the outcome and knew that we wanted to do another one next year. Then Camee Edelbrock of Schiefer Media called and told me of their plans to do a similar discussion at the NHRA museum in Pomona the same week as the Media Trade Conference in Covina, California. I talked to a couple of Select Committee members, and it just seemed like taking part would be the natural thing to do. Almost at the same time, SEMA invited us to host a webinar on April 22. It looks like we're in the seminar business!"
The seminar hosted by MPMC at the NHRA Motorsports Museum in conjunction with the 13th annual MPMC Media Trade Conference in January was presented by Wyotech and Source Interlink Media. MPMC Select Committee members Kyle Fickler of Weld Racing, Steve Matusek of Aeromotive and SEMA Board Chair-Elect Scooter Brothers of Comp Performance Group participated on the panel and answered questions under the general topic "Future Trends, Technology and Training in the Performance Aftermarket."
On April 22, MPMC will host a SEMA webinar with a theme similar to the motorsports marketing seminar it offered at the SEMA Show. As of press time, panelists and final topic details were still under review. Check the MPMC website for details on when, where and how to participate.
Motorsports Awareness
The March issue of SEMA News highlights racing and performance. Coincidentally, many racing facilities across the country and around the world are shrugging off winter snows and revving up for another season of competition at this time of year. What better time, then, to remind everyone about motorsports awareness and the MPMC-founded program Take a Friend to a Race.
"This is such a simple idea," said Floyd. "It's taken some time to catch on, but I think we'll start to see some legs under it entering the second year. More and more magazines are running the promotional ads, and our MPMC member companies are beginning to catch on to the idea of putting the logo on their letterhead, packaging and so forth. SEMA News ran a story last year about one of our members who invited his daughter's friends to the local dirt track. By the end of summer, he had neighbors going to the races who, prior to that invitation, never even knew there was a racetrack 20 minutes from their houses! And that's the idea. Just take someone to a race and let them have the experience. We're all in this together—manufacturers, promoters, track owners, competitors and spectators. It's a big circle, but it all comes down to having people watch the events in which our products are used. Take a friend to a race. It's good for all of us."

Karl Fredrickson (left) of Speedway Illustrated magazine with Bill Floyd, MPMC chairman, as he receives his Robert E. Petersen Award. The award was presented at the 13th annual MPMC Media Trade Conference on January 19, 2010.
Each year at the MPMC Media Trade Conference, a member of the automotive media is presented with the Robert E. Petersen Award. The Robert E. Petersen Award is named in honor of the publishing icon who founded Hot Rod, Motor Trend and dozens of other automotive and enthusiast magazines and to whom the motorsports industry owes so much. The award is presented to an individual from the media who has made a positive impact on the motorsports industry and the MPMC during the past year.
The nomination criteria for the Robert E. Petersen Award includes the following:
Individual must have made a substantial, recognizable, positive contribution to the industry within the past year.
Individual must have an ongoing record of service and support to the motorsports industry.
Individual must be an active member of the print, electronic or broadcast media.
The media hold this award in high regard, not only for its namesake, but because it is voted on by MPMC members themselves. Nominees for this year's award were:
James Lawrence of PowerTV Media, Joe St. Lawrence of RTM Productions, Steve Wolcott of ProMedia LLC, Darr Hawthorne from Racing Net Source and Karl Fredrickson of Speedway Illustrated. Fredrickson emerged from the record voting returns as this year's recipient. He was presented the award at the annual Tuesday-night media reception at the MPMC Media Trade Conference.
"We had more than a 25% return on the electronic award voting this year," said MPMC Chairman Floyd. "I think this shows just how passionate our members are about the media, and the relationships we build with them."
