Radhika Apte in Parched (2015)
We don't tend to focus on actors at Frameland in our year-end reflections. But now a whole decade has past, and so we've made an exception to shine some extra light on some extraordinary actors who carved out a special place in our hearts and minds these past ten years. Some only appeared before us in the past few years, others died years earlier and some kept us glued to the screen for the whole ten years.
Nawazuddhin Siddiqui & Radhika Apte
Nawazuddhin Siddiqui in Manto (2018)
What is striking about acting in the 2010s in Indian cinema, especially Bollywood, is that it has become appreciative and perceptive of the things not said and the actions not shown. This is probably what gave the ability of someone as delicate and detailed as Nawazuddhin Siddiqui or as restrained as Radhika Apte to have their acting viable in the mainstream industry. Neither Siddiqui nor Apte would have stood a chance in the 90s or even 2000s where good acting had to be defined by either yelling, crying, or (if it was a comedy) Jim Carrey-like contortion. Even Shah Rukh Khan's greatest performance (Swades) was overlooked and rendered inert by the majority public.
Both have managed to escape the typecasting and land in blockbuster films, but those only came because the general public and industry members managed to appreciate the acting in their independent film roles. Siddiqui is most comfortable in timid outcast roles, but has shown his ability through films like Gangs of Wasseypur (2014) and Haraamkhor (2017) to display romantic charisma and a menacing edge to his stylishness and the versatility of disappearing into real-life figures like Hassan Sadat Manto in Manto (2018) instead of just surface-level mimicry.
While not considered by critics yet as an astute thespian the way Siddiqui is, Radhika Apte has rendered a few heartbreaking passionate performances like in Parched (2015) where she played an abused village woman and more pulpy genre fare like the horror film Phobia (2017) or the neo-noir comedy Andhadhun (2018). It feels good in light of an industry still infested with shameless nepotism, when real talent gets its just due.

Yalitza Aparicio in Roma (2018)
Hollywood loves to draw and redraw lines to keep people out. According to an Annenberg study, Latinx actors have constituted only three percent of lead or co-lead roles in top-performing movies during the last 12 years.
So when Yalitza Aparicio appears as the female lead of the Oscar favourite, Roma (2018), it is nothing short of a disruption within the pasty white Hollywood narrative. She is not just Latin-American but is Mexican and hails from an indigenous Mixtec and Trique heritage. When she goes on to become the first indigenous woman to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, it is not about tokens anymore. It is essentially about a woman who turns up out of nowhere and stands on the same platform as women who have built their careers off immense amounts of privilege; a privilege alien to Aparicio, who is an early childhood teacher from Tlaxiaco who turned up for Alonso Curaon's casting call along with a friend.
Beyond her dream-like Oscar run, Aparicio is a face that young women of colour can look at and go, "Oh my God, she looks like me!" and that is radical within an industry where only three per cent of the women on screen are allowed to look, walk, and talk like Aparicio. As a teacher for young children, Aparicio moulds lives and teaches young eyes to dream. As an actor, she reminds us that we ought to do way better.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Phillip Seymour Hoffman in A Most Wanted Man (2018)
Part of me wants to give this to Robert Pattinson, who has proved himself one of the most interesting and preternaturally talented actors in Western cinema but it has to go to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. We only had him for the first half of the decade but nevertheless what we were gifted with before his untimely demise was the sight of an actor slowly working both of his hands around his craft. He'd proven himself fearless and sensitive, an actor you couldn't help but feel for even at his most loathsome, but in the '10s he tried flexing in parts that seemed an odd fit for the bear-like superstar. In The Master (2012) he got to fully sink into the role of a man in love with himself nearly as much as what the world can give him if he plays his cards right. In Moneyball (2011), he lets nothing pass through his taut exterior. He's absolutely humourless and communicates an entire joyless eyes-on-the-prize existence in about 15 minutes of a film. In God's Pocket (2014) he's a mess of a man finding out how little rope he has left to hang himself. His face could be a mask until it broke like a dam and out came ten tons of emotion, as in the ending of A Most Wanted Man (2014). He walked into films you'd think would be too big for any actor to stand out and he'd just stuff them in his pocket and leave.
Scout Tafoya
Dhanush in Vada Chennai (2018)
It has been great to see Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in a Martin Scorsese film again in The Irishman (2019). But no actor-director duo has been more exciting this decade than Dhanush and Vetrimaaran. Their collaboration started in 2007 with Vetrimaaran's debut feature, Ruthless Man. Since then, the actor has been involved in all four of the director's films this decade, producing all and starring in three. Dhanush, lending his star power and financial draw to the powerful, critical, yet almost always exuberant films of Vetrimaaran, has done wonders for both. It has given the director the time to carefully research his subjects and their environments, resulting in his films feeling incredibly lived in and specific, while not taking anything away from their commercial appeal. The latter is helped by the star power of Dhanush, who's also proven time and again to possess the perfect sensibility for Vetrimaaran's combination of the subtle with the sensational. In his films, Dhanush weds his good looks and charm with a vulnerable virility to a degree that he doesn't always get to do with other filmmakers. They appear to bring out the best in each other, to make exhilarating entertainment that takes various societal ills head-on, especially destructive power structures and the underlying dynamics that cause them.

Kalki Koechlin in Margarita, with a Straw (2014)
Kalki Koechlin debuted in 2009 in Anurag Kashyap's Dev D and developed herself as a multi-talented, hard-working and socially conscious actress in the last decade. She appeared in both independent and commercial Indian film productions. Being a white Western woman in India is not easy, as Koechlin (born in Pondicherry as a child of a French couple) has experienced herself. In 2011, she shared her experiences by co-writing the thriller That Girl in Yellow Boots (again directed by Anurag Kashyap), in which she also played the lead role of Ruth, a British woman who tries to find her Indian father and meanwhile has to deal with discrimination and prejudice. I was most impressed by her amazing credible performance in Shonali Bose's Margarita, with a Straw (2014), a coming-of-age film in which she plays an Indian teenager with cerebral palsy, who also explores her own sexuality and political activism.
In films like Death in the Gunj (2017) and Gully Boy (2019), she's typecast as the white woman who's more seductive and sexy than the more 'traditionally Indian' women in the films, a stereotype I've written about in-depth on Frameland before. Yet she always gives these characters more depth and inner life than one might expect from such roles. And she uses the money she makes with those films to fund her own theatre plays and uses her Bollywood fame to be the face of numerous social campaigns. Labelling herself a feminist, Koechlin has been fighting for gender equality, LGBT rights, against (child) sexual abuse, and more. Koechlin is a fighter.

Ion-pair reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (IP RP HPLC) is shown to be an effective method to reliably analyze DNA. IP RP HPLC is a much faster and safer alternative to conventional methods of DNA separation and quantification. The method described here utilized a two-buffer effluent system consisting of triethylammonium acetate (TEAA) and acetonitrile (ACN). The method reliably separated and quantified DNA samples of 54 and 58 nt. This method will be used and optimized to separate similarly sized RNA samples. The ultimate goal is to separate mixtures of nucleotides generated from in-vitro transcription reactions.

August 05 2007 - Autumn, or at least some aspects of it - has arrived early this year. We've had a miserably wet and cool summer, but despite (or perhaps because of) this, the blackberries are early, and they're excellent.
I went out for a short walk this evening - ostensibly to collect weeds for the guinea pigs, but I took an empty plastic container along on the offchance of finding some berries. I was not disappointed.
The place where I normally pick them - along a little footpath across the fields behind Botley Village - was not very good, but a little further on, I came across a large thicket of enormously rampant and vigorous brambles - perhaps 10 feet tall and with huge stems armed with wicked backward-pointing thorns. The fruit here was amazing - large, evenly-ripened berries of great quality - fully ripe and just starting to soften, but still completely sound.
I picked about half a pound - there was more to be had - or there would have been, had I not been wearing shorts - as it is, I did get a little scratched around the legs and arms, snagged once or twice on the shirt by the hooked prickles, and stung by the nettles growing up through the bush in places.
I wish I had my proper camera to show you what they really looked like (this one was taken on my phone) - but even then, you'd still be missing out on 90% of what blackberries are all about, which is the aroma.
Cultivated blackberries don't have it, at least not so much.
Wild blackberries have it - that intense fragrant fruity aroma that just can't adequately be described in words.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, just go and pick a cupful (or more!)of fresh, ripe wild blackberries on a sunny day, then stick your nose in the cup and inhale. The scratches, barbs and stings melt away into insignificance when you smell that smell.
There are a million different ways to prepare and serve blackberries - bramble jelly is a great way to take a bit of summer with you into the dark winter, blackberry pie or crumble is always a favourite and the deep maroon juice is great for making swirly patterns in your custard.
One way I like to serve them is to stew and sieve about a pound of them, then use the strained juice in place of lemon in a lemon meringue pie recipe - your guests will initially see it and say "oh, lemon meringue pie" (perhaps they were hoping for something a little different), but when you cut it and pull out a slice, the rich purple filling is revealed and it always goes down a treat.
But these specimens were so luscious that it would be doing them a disservice to cook them without at least eating a few fresh and raw.
OK, I did eat some on their own, but I also used them to turn ordinary Neopolitan ice cream (and a little evaporated milk) into something a bit special.
if they're dirty enough to require it, they're not worth picking.
-It destroys the aroma - some of the flavour of blackberries is right on the skin - you'll lose that if you wash them and the water will supress the evaporation of any aroma compounds that remain - no evaporation of aromas means you will smell nothing - Smell is a significant component of the sense of taste, so you will taste nothing.
-It turns them into disappointing little squashy blobs of mush.

'A Tomb for the Living': An Analysis of Late 19th-Century Reporting on the Insane Asylum
Deitz, Charles
This study examines newspaper portrayals of the American insane asylum between 1887 and 1895. The focus is on the way the mental health system was represented to the public in the era of Nellie Bly, the stunt journalist who investigated a Manhattan insane asylum in 1887. The project reveals the ways in which the newspapers aggregated a variety of narratives around the insane asylum which ultimately presented the institution in such a way that served the needs of the press. For those without firsthand knowledge of the insane asylum, the newspaper was the primary source of information. In that medium, there was a system of knowledge created and disseminated, one that integrated and conflated the public answer to mental illness with other sociopolitical issues such as economics, crime, gender, and ethnicity. The content created a meaning in which the deteriorating asylum system was presented contradictorily as an ineffective yet permanent public reality. Furthermore, newspapers reinforced and augmented an existing shame around mental illness. Mental illness evolved from a private/family concern to one of public import over the course of the 19th century. Thus, mental affliction became more than a moral failing or a character flaw; it had been elevated to a social problem to be tended by the government. Therefore, the problem of the mentally ill fell under the jurisdiction of the metro newspaper, which often published articles relaying asylum expenses, investigations into the failing asylums themselves, or speculations as to the cause of a person's sickness.

The South of Brazil Votes on Becoming Independent
By Leila Scola on	 October 20, 2017 News
An informal vote has been set up in the south of Brazil to ask voters whether they want to form a new country.
In the wake of the referendum in Catalonia, a separatist movement in the south of Brazil called 'The South Is My Country' has decided to hold their own secession vote.
Polling stations have been set up in over 1,000 municipalities across the three southern states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.
The leader of the movement announced at a polling station in Curitiba, the capital of Paraná, that the vote expressed the disillusionment they felt with the corrupt federal government which has had dozens of politicians on trial and in jail on corruption charges.
Credit: Google Maps
There is also anger over taxes, which they claimed they don't see return to the south, but instead believe that their money goes to pay for the poorer northern parts of the country. This issue is similarly cited by those in the Spanish region of Catalonia who desire independence.
Overall, there is a stark difference between the north and south of Brazil. The south is often referred to as 'European'. There was a huge migration there from Europe, especially Germany and Italy, in the 19th and 20th century period. It's generally much more prosperous and has more industry than the north which, in contrast, is more agricultural and much poorer.
This is not the first vote that 'The South Is My Country' group has organised; in October 2016 they gathered over 600,000 votes, and over 95% were in favour of separation.
However, it's not likely that the separatist movement will succeed, as it's forbidden by the constitution and outside of the south it is very unpopular.
The poll is a strong indicator of the anger felt in Brazil over a number of front-line politicians becoming embroiled in corruption scandals while the country is in an economic recession.

Will the 3rd leg of 2018 Triple Crown be run in the mud at Belmont?
alex.sosnowski
Jun 4th 2018 12:34PM
This year's Belmont Stakes and 13th quest for horse racing's Triple Crown may be a close call with rain and sunshine.
Saturday will mark the 150th running of the Belmont States at Belmont Park, Elmont, Long Island, New York.
Following the storm that brought downpours to end the first weekend of June in the New York City area and Belmont Park, the next chance of drenching rain will occur this weekend.
Whether or not it pours around race time at 6:37 p.m. EDT, Saturday, June 9, as Justify seeks to be the 13th Triple Crown winner will depend on the speed of the next storm.
At this time it appears that heavy, steady rain will hold off until later Saturday night or Sunday on Long Island. However, any increase in forward speed of that storm, which is still out over the Pacific Ocean, may have a wet outcome for the race.
"There is the chance of a shower popping up ahead of the main storm this coming weekend," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson.
A boundary between cool air over New England and warm, humid air over the central Appalachians, could unleash spotty showers ahead of the main storm along the upper mid-Atlantic coast on Saturday afternoon and evening.

"Belmont has a sandy consistency to the track and drains very well," according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Brian Thompson.
"In order for sloppy conditions to occur for the 2018 Belmont Stakes, it would have to pour right before or during the race," Thompson said.
If it manages to pour early Saturday evening, it will end up being soggy for all three legs of the triple crown.
Training and running horses in prolonged wet weather can raise the risk of a hoof injury, according to the Horse.com.
While some horses, such as Justify, seem to handle the wet weather, other horses may not run as well with mud being splattered in their face. Mud may also increase the risk of a horse slipping. Mud may even out some of the competition but cause other horses to fall well off the pace.
Both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness were run in the mud in 2018. The 2018 Kentucky Derby was the wettest on record with more than 3 inches of rain. Rain fell every day for a weak leading up to and including the Preakness at Pimlico in Baltimore.

The last horse to win the Triple Crown was American Pharoah in 2015. Prior to 2015, there were no Triple Crown winners since the 1970s, when Affirmed (1978), Seattle Slew (1977) and Secretariat (1973) won. Secretariat holds the speed record for all of the three Triple Crown races, including the world record on dirt for 1.5 miles set at Belmont.
This week, conditions leading up to the Belmont Stakes will not be entirely free of rain. A couple of weak storm systems are forecast to move through.
One may bring showers and a thunderstorm from late Tuesday to Tuesday night. Another may do the same from Thursday night to Friday.
However, in lieu of any rain on Saturday evening, there should be enough space between rain events to allow the track to drain off on/by Saturday in what should be an exciting race. A repeat of the week-long downpours experienced at Baltimore leading up to the Preakness is not anticipated.
High temperatures most days this week will be in the 70s F at Belmont. The warmest day is likely to be on Friday, when temperatures may top 80.

We chose this cruise ship because we wanted to try a lot of onboard activities. The good: -we loved our "indoor balcony" that overlooked Cental Park. Beautiful plants and often music -we loved the food. Sorrentos has the best cruise ship pizza ever. We had heard that the Windjammer was crazy, but it really depended on the time. It usually wasn't too bad and it had a great selection of food. The Solarium bistro was lovely for breakfast. -the dive show (Oasis of Dreams) was incredible! -the photographers were great. There were lots of opportunities to have pictures taken -the solarium was a relaxing and kid-free place. We enjoyed the various types of lounge chairs and the whirlpools. -the app was a great way to keep up with what was going on during the day and to find your way around the ship. You can also make reservations through the app. -the rock wall was fun and challenging. The equipment for the rock wall, zip line, and flow rider was all in great condition -we loved the outdoor movies in the Aqua Theater The Bad: -two big shows were cancelled due to an equipment failure. The replacement shows were thrown together at the last minute and were not great. They were mostly singers. Most of the music was from the 60's and 70's. This did not appeal to most people on board. Very disappointing when we were expecting to see Cats and an acrobatic show called Come Fly with Me. -several game shows (Family Feud, the Liars Club, and the Perfect Couple for example) were held in small venues. There was standing room only and many people still could not attend because of lack of space. Also disappointing. -the mattress in our room was old and uncomfortable. It would have been nice if the room temperature would have gone down to 70 degrees. It was a bit warm -the pools were packed! We didn't even attempt to get in them -we bought the soda package. We received a cup. The cup was large but the lid was not leakproof. There were a few soda refill machines around the ship. It was nice to not have to wait at the bar for refills, but there should have been more machines. Also the machines were often out of ice.

Not Jolly Good: Islamists in the UK Government
https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/29312/not-jolly-good-islamists-in-the-uk-government
Is there any degree of radicalism that disqualifies someone from holding a sensitive government post in the UK? Probably. But it would be difficult to tell based on two recent stories.
First, Treasury official Azad Ali has begun advising the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) on combating Islamic extremism. Apparently his suspension earlier this year for blog entries steeped in — you guessed it — Islamic extremism presented no barrier to his joining the "community involvement" panel chaired by the CPS anti-terror chief. In addition to naming radical imam Anwar al-Awlaki, the email pal of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan, as "one of my favorite speakers and scholars," Ali's musings include these gems:
On his blog … Ali said he found "much truth" in an interview with an Islamic militant who said: "If I saw an American or British wearing a soldier's uniform inside Iraq I would kill him because that is my obligation."
He has also used his blog to praise Abdullah Azzam, regarded as a key spiritual mentor to Osama bin Laden, saying Azzam was one of the "few Muslims who promote the understanding of the term 'jihad' in its comprehensive glory" as both a doctrine of "self-purification" and of "warfare."
Ali has also used his blog to deny that the Mumbai attacks last November, in which 173 people were killed, were an act of terrorism.
Second, there is Asim Hafeez, the new "head of intervention" at the Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism of the Home Office, where he is charged with "divert[ing] fellow Muslims from the path of violence." However, Hafeez has been described by a knowledgeable colleague as a "hardcore Salafi," one who follows a puritanical form of Islam. According to Harry's Place:
A number of Hafeez's talks are available online which appear to not only back up [these] accusations but also to suggest that Hafeez might additionally be a hard-line Islamist who wishes to replace the British constitution with "the Koran and the Sunnah."
These two cases recall revelations a few years ago about Mockbul Ali, the Islamic affairs guru at the Foreign Office who once served as the political editor of a Muslim student newspaper when it lauded Palestinian suicide bombers. True to Ali's "straightforward Islamist" worldview, his government work has involved promoting dialogue with the Muslim Brotherhood and arguing in favor of granting entry visas to radical clerics such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. In April, IW noted glimmers of hope as the UK government moved to discard its fanciful attempts to marginalize violent Islamists by empowering nonviolent ones. But like those thick London fogs, Islamists keep rolling back in.
