JACKSONVILLE – Each Saturday during the 2020 season, 10 Jaguars experts – Rick Ballou, Tony Boselli, Bucky Brooks, Frank Frangie, Jeff Lageman, Brent Martineau, John Oehser, Brian Sexton, J.P. Shadrick and Ashlyn Sullivan – will break down the following day's Jaguars matchup.
Up this week:
The Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Rick Ballou, Jaguars sideline reporter
The Jaguars will win if: They get something going early. The Jaguars have been outscored 35-7 in the first quarter and have allowed a touchdown on the opening drive of their first three games. Getting the ball first and scoring early is a must if they're going to win on the road. This is also a game in which they should be able to generate some quarterback pressure. The Philadelphia Eagles sacked Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow eight times last week.
The Bengals will win if: Burrow is able to pick apart the Jaguars' defense. The No. 1 overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, Burrow has looked the part early in his career and has the weapons to take advantage of Jacksonville's youth in its secondary. Opposing quarterbacks have completed 80 percent of their passes against the Jaguars. If Burrow can do the same, the Bengals will be difficult to beat.
As Ballou sees it: The Jaguars will look alive and play hard for sixty minutes. Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II will get things going offensively and the offense will have a good mixture of both the run and pass. The Bengals will take advantage of some Jaguars turnovers and costly penalties and get it done late in the fourth quarter. Cincinnati will get its first victory of the season, 31-28.
Tony Boselli, Jaguars analyst and former Jaguars left tackle
The Jaguars will win if: They find a pass rush on defense and run the ball with James Robinson on offense. The Bengals' offensive line is not very good, meaning Josh Allen and his mates will need to have a big day hitting Burrow all day. When the Jags have the ball, it will be a great opportunity to take advantage of one of the worst run defenses in the NFL. Feed Robinson the ball all day!
The Bengals will win if: They turn the game into a track meet. Burrow has looked outstanding in early games this year and has an outstanding group of receivers led by A.J. Green. If the Jaguars can't affect Burrow, the Bengals will have a great chance to get their first win of the season.
As Boselli sees it: The Jaguars' defense will find a pass rush, led by Allen, against one of the leakier offensive lines in the NFL. Look for them to get a couple of turnovers and give the Jags' offense a short field multiple times. Robinson will have a big day with over 100 yards rushing and multiple touchdowns. The Jaguars will win, 31-24!
Bucky Brooks, Jaguars and NFL Network Analyst
The Bengals will win if: Burrow is able to consistently throw from a clean pocket. Despite facing constant harassment in the pocket, the rookie has dazzled as a passer by completing 64.1 percent of his passes with a five-to-one touchdown-to-interception ratio. With a solid supporting cast that includes three legitimate pass-catchers (Tyler Boyd, A.J. Green, and Tee Higgins) and a dynamic running back (Joe Mixon), the Bengals have enough weapons to support Burrow if he has enough time to go through his progressions. Considering the inconsistent pressure and coverage we've seen from the Jaguars, the rookie quarterback could post big numbers in a matchup that skews in the favor of the Bengals' offense.
The Jaguars will win if: Minshew gets back on track. The second-year pro struggled with his accuracy and decisions against the Dolphins' umbrella coverage. He needs to rediscover his rhythm early against the Bengals and help the Jaguars' offense score early to help the defense play with a lead. If Minshew gets back to connecting the dots from the pocket instead of attempting "hero" throws under duress, the Jaguars have enough weapons to score against a gritty Bengals defense that has played better than expected this season.
As Brooks sees it: This is a must-win game for the Jaguars at this point in the season. They must finish the quarter with a 2-2 record to build momentum heading into a manageable part of their schedule. That urgency should be enough to prompt a spirited effort from a struggling defense that was embarrassed a week ago in primetime. With that in mind, I expect Josh Allen and Co. to take care of business on defense and set up the offense with a couple of scoring opportunities on short fields. The improved play from the unit should be enough for a hard-fought road win that puts them back in the mix in the AFC South.
Frank Frangie, Radio Voice of the Jaguars
The Jaguars will win if: They start a little faster. They must quit digging themselves 14-point holes. It stresses the offense and defense, affects play-calling, how they are defended, etc. Jacksonville must strike first or at least hold serve early. Part of that is with better coverage; receivers are running open against the Jaguars. Covering better is a good starting point.
The Bengals will win if: They get some early confidence for Burrow with early big plays. That also will have Jacksonville doubting itself some. They also must get running back Joe Mixon going.
As Frangie sees it: This one will come down to the wire, a fourth-quarter game. The team that makes one more play at the end wins.
Jeff Lageman, Jaguars analyst and former Jaguars defensive end
The Jaguars will win if: They can start fast and have a very effective running game. The Bengals have not been very good against the run; if the Jags can play without being immediately behind, they can stick with the running game and what has been their best player in rookie running back James Robinson. The explosive plays will follow in the passing game with play action.
The Bengals will win if: Burrow is comfortable in the pocket. The Bengals' offensive line has struggled in both the running game and protecting their quarterback. Mixon has yet to have an impact; if he gets rolling then gets to favorable down and distances, the Jaguars will have trouble pressuring Burrow.
As Lageman sees it: This is a tough one to call. The Bengals' weakness of protecting the quarterback is matched up against the Jaguars' weakness of getting pressure as a defense. The Jaguars' offensive line will be tested on the edges and Minshew may have to make some things happen outside the pocket. The two young quarterbacks will make this an exciting game. Special teams advantage lays with the Bengals this week and could be the difference in the game.
Brent Martineau, Action Sports Jax Sports Director
The Jaguars will win if: Let's try this again like last week: If they take a first-half lead. The Jaguars might be the better team, but you can't keep playing from behind. Can the Jaguars dictate the action with the lead and then allow their defense to make some plays? I think it's a victory if they play out front on the road.
The Bengals will win if: Burrow has a breakout game. This is all about the Bengals' passing game against the Jaguars' defense. The stats are ugly with the Jaguars' defense, but the stats are ugly with the Bengals offensive line, too. If the rookie quarterback has time to throw, he has a chance to pile up some numbers and win the game.
As Martineau sees it: The Jags have confused me. I'm not sure who they are, and I didn't like this game at the beginning of the year. I have to see the Jaguars' defensive line create some havoc before I believe in the unit. Cincinnati is not that bad, and the Bengals come in desperate for a W. I think this is a field-goal game. Given the Jaguars' kicking situation, I think the Bengals will win a close game.
John Oehser, jaguars.com senior writer
The Jaguars will win if: They run well and force two turnovers. The Bengals have been vulnerable to the run for three seasons, and the Jaguars have run consistently well this season when they have kept games close enough to utilize Robinson. The Jaguars must win the turnover battle: They are 1-0 when winning the statistic and 0-2 when losing it. That's not a coincidence.
The Bengals will win if: They get the Jaguars' defensive front blocked. Burrow has been sacked a league-high 14 times in three games, but he has been effective when given time. The Jaguars have just three sacks in three games. If they can't get pressure against a struggling offensive line, the Jaguars could struggle Sunday.
As Oehser sees it: This is a worrisome game for the Jaguars. The Bengals have talented skill players, and Burrow looks far better than a "normal rookie quarterback." My sense is the Jaguars will play well Sunday – far better than they did in a loss to Miami last Thursday. But playing better may not be enough Sunday against an improved Bengals team that feels ready to win.
Brian Sexton, jaguars.com senior correspondent
The Jaguars will win if: They can pressure Burrow. He hasn't notched his first victory yet, but he has been impressive in three games – completing 65 percent of his passes with five touchdowns and one interception. If the Jaguars can force him to make typical rookie mistakes, it will give a decided advantage to their secondary against Boyd and Green.
The Bengals will win if: They can replicate the Dolphins' defensive game plan. Teams that can play that same style of soft zone down the field while using an outside rush to contain Minshew have been able to neutralize the Jaguars' enigmatic quarterback.
As Sexton sees it: This one is a toss-up. Burrow is comfortable in the pocket and with Boyd coming off a huge game – and Green always capable of one – the Bengals are dangerous. If Jaguars wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. returns and Minshew gets back to his gunslinging ways, the Jaguars can protect their defense with a high output offense. Which will happen? That's why they play the game.
J.P. Shadrick, jaguars.com reporter/editor
The Jaguars will win if: They get the running game established. This means the game is within reach and offensive coordinator Jay Gruden will not feel like he must call passing plays all day to play catch-up. Give Robinson an opportunity to run behind the offensive line in a tight game – or one the Jaguars are leading – and let's see if the Jaguars can run over the Bengals for a second straight season. Additional benefits to this approach: Burrow – and the Jaguars' defense – are on the sideline longer.
The Bengals will win if: Burrow has time to stand in the pocket and throw. Even with the beating the Eagles put on him last week, they could not rattle his confidence. For the season: 14 sacks of Burrow with 31 hits by opposing defenses – and he's still good, even with that pressure. Without the pressure, he could be great. This is the week for the Jaguars' pass rush to get going. If it doesn't this week, it might not at all.
As Shadrick sees it: After a performance they'd like back from last Thursday night, this young Jaguars team needs a confidence booster. A win this week would steady the ship – at least until next week's game – but a third-straight loss would truly test the resiliency of this team at 1-3. Winning the first quarter of the game would be a great start.
Ashlyn Sullivan, Digital reporter and host
The Jaguars will win if: They start fast. This is no secret: If the Jaguars continue to play from behind and try to dig themselves out of 14-0 deficits, they are not going to win. The coaching staff has put a strong emphasis on scoring quickly and playing strong defense from the start. I do not want to see Burrow play with a lead. That could be ugly.
The Bengals will win if: Cincinnati's offensive line protects Burrow better than they have so far this season. Burrow has taken 14 sacks in the past three weeks, the most of any QB in the NFL. Even with all that pressure, Burrow has still been very successful. If the Jaguars' pass rush cannot come to life this week and if the secondary makes the same mistakes that we saw against the Dolphins, I think the Bengals will beat the Jaguars based off their offensive performance.
As Sullivan sees it: The Jaguars will win a close game in Cincinnati – possibly by a field goal. Despite the winless record, Cincinnati matches up well against Jacksonville with their offensive playmakers. The Jaguars must play as they did Week 1 against the Colts to win. This is in no way a gimme. The Bengals are improving each week and are bound to win one eventually.

Well, that's an interesting pitch.
To bolster his argument, Mr. Bermudez referenced Ms. Rivera's father, an assemblyman as well, who ran while on unemployment decades prior.
Ms. Rivera faces off multiple challengers, including Irene Estrada-Rukaj and Mark Gjonaj. Mr. Gjonaj, who has raised an impressive amount of money and has already been garnering some establishment support–hard to do while running against an incumbent–is the leading candidate to potentially unseat Ms. Rivera.
Mr. Gjonaj's likelihood of doing so may have increased in recent days, as the New York Post has battered Ms. Rivera in story after story after it broke the news last weekend that she had a secret Facebook page with details suggesting she gave her boyfriend a full-time job in her office at the same time he had another full-time government job.

Some might call these "skinny margaritas," but we call them happy ones. We've drank enough to know that they don't make us "skinny," but man, do they make us smile. With fresh squeezed orange juice, a few dashes of lime juice and tequila, and agave to sweeten things up, this healthy(ish) margarita recipe is so refreshing that sometimes we forget we're not just drinking water.
Don't be afraid to mix it up by muddling sliced jalapeños or strawberries (really, any kind of fruit will do) into your glass. Those small additions change it up enough so you can drink margaritas all year summer long.
1. In a small bowl, squeeze half an orange (ideally, you'd use the other half for the actual margarita).
2. Dip the rim of your glass into the juice until it's fully coated.
5. Pour into the glass then add in ice until it's full.
Note: If you'd like, add a splash or two of club soda for a bubblier cocktail.

Major General Hossein Salami, named head of the force last month, added: "This moment in history, because the enemy has stepped into the field of confrontation with us with all the possible capacity, is the most decisive moment of the Islamic revolution."

Q: Not able to access the service I have deployed an application to the kubernetes and service exposed of type NodePort, howerver I'm not able to access this application.
I have tried accessing the application by using PUBLIC_IP:32000 but I am getting site can't be reached
Note: I have created K8S cluster on my Google servers
[root@kmaster kube-ops-view]# kubectl get svc
NAME                  TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)        AGE
kube-ops-view         NodePort    10.100.137.77   <none>        80:32000/TCP   10m
kube-ops-view-redis   ClusterIP   10.98.40.11     <none>        6379/TCP       10m

[root@kmaster kube-ops-view]#

A: The problem might be in that you also needed to configure service/deployment configuration file and change the selector to match the label in the pod.
If pod has "app=my-app" tag, but service selector had "name=my-app". Matching them my fixed the access problem.
If the cluster node is somewhere else and you want to make the port available on you local client , then just do kubectl port forward:
$ kubectl port-forward svc/your-service-name port:port

How to Create Your College List
When you're applying to colleges, it's important to choose a range of schools falling into three basic categories: safety, target, and reach.
Safety schools are those which you're very likely to get into, because your test scores and grades are above the average there. Target schools are those for which your academic profile is a fairly standard it. Finally, reach schools are the ones where your academics may not quite be up to snuff, often because the school itself is so competitive.
Ideally, you should apply to several schools in each of these categories. While you may get some rejections — especially in the reach and target categories — this also means you're very likely to have several schools to choose from. Your acceptances will probably mostly come from your safety and target categories, but you may be lucky enough to get into one or more of your reach schools as well.
Of course, to do this, you'll need to create a list of colleges including options from each of these categories. But how do you narrow down all the college options to ten to fifteen, and how do you know which schools are in which categories?
Don't worry. We've got you covered.
Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Your Final College List
First, you're going to make a long list of colleges with potential. While we're shooting for ten to fifteen schools by the end of the process, right now it's okay — actually, it's great! — if your list is a lot longer than that. We'll narrow it down later.
Do you already have some colleges in mind that you already know about and are definitely interested in attending? If so, write these down.
Research other schools to create a longer list. Talk to your high school guidance counselor, teachers, parents, relatives, and other trusted adults to hear their thoughts and recommendations, and add any colleges they mention that interest you to your list.
In addition, do some of your own research. Are you absolutely sure that you want to major in either history or economics, for example? Do some online sleuthing to figure out the top schools in each of these majors. Add them to your list.
Add any other schools you can think of to your list. If you're a passionate surfer, for example, you might want to add schools on the California coast to your list even if you don't know much about them than that they're near great surfing beaches.
Now that you have your long list of colleges, it's time to separate the schools into categories. Remember, you're going for three categories here: safety, target, and reach.
Make a spreadsheet with columns for each of the three categories.
You probably know your GPA and test scores off the top of your head at this point, but if not, write them down for easy reference.
Start at the top of your list of schools with potential. You're going to do some basic research to find out the average GPA and test scores of the last incoming class. You can almost always find this online, but if not, feel free to call the admissions office and ask.
Compare your scores and GPA to those of the school's incoming class. If your academic results are significantly stronger than the average at this school, add it to the "safety" column. If your scores are weaker than the average here, add the school to your "reach" column. And if your scores and GPA are pretty similar to the average, put this school in your "target" column.
Go down your list of schools with potential, following this process for each one. Right now, don't worry about ruling out any schools; just get them all sorted into their appropriate categories.
Ready to narrow down your list? At this point, you should ideally have quite a few schools in each of the three categories. The reason you haven't ruled any out yet is that if you were to do so at the beginning, you might have inadvertently ruled out all or most of the schools from one category. Doing it this way allows you to narrow down the list by category instead. And that's what we'll do now!
Pick one of your three categories of schools: safety, target, or reach.
Start at the top of the list in that category. This time, you're going to do some in-depth research on the school to help you figure out whether you want to go there. In this stage, don't use your likelihood of getting in as a deciding factor; remember you want some easy schools and some that you're not as likely to get into.
Jot down some notes about the first school beside its name on your list. Include both pros and cons. Things to think about, for example: does it offer a strong program in the field that interests you most? Is it a good size for you? In a good location? In the right type of environment (urban, suburban, rural) for you? Does it offer easy access to the extracurriculars that matter to you? Will the academics be challenging or easy for you — and which do you prefer? There are lots of other factors to consider, but those should get you started.
Repeat this for each school in the first category you're working in. By the end, you should know quite a bit about each school, and have a clear sense of its pros and cons for you personally.
Eliminate any schools for which the cons outweigh the pros. If this brings you down to 3 to 5 schools in this category, great! You're done and can move on to the next category.
If you still have more than 3 to 5 schools in the category after ruling out the obvious ones, try this: arrange the remaining colleges in order of how good a fit they are for you. You may struggle to give them exact rankings, but it should be fairly clear which are on the top and bottom. Keep the top 3 to 5 schools and eliminate the rest. Another option is to speak with your college counselor again. He or she is an incredibly valuable resource who's there to help you with things like this, so don't be shy!
Repeat this process for the remaining categories. At the end, you'll have 4 to 5 schools in each of your three categories.
Congratulations! Unless some new information comes to light, you now have your college list. Applying to all of these schools covers your bases and ensures you'll apply to schools in each category, which can help give you a broader range of results when you hear back from colleges.

Q: Changing formatting only for the bibliography section is there a way of changing the page formatting only for the bibliography of a huge tex project (a Ph.D. Thesis)?
Specifically, I would like to reduce the left and right white space of the pages only for the bibliography (with the purpose of inserting more biblio in a single page). Better, if I can also scale down the size of the letters (only in that section, of course). Any hint to achieve the goal is highly appreciated.
Here the code
\pdfminorversion=5 % default is 4; 5 or more required for

\pdfobjcompresslevel
\pdfcompresslevel=9 % default is 9
\pdfobjcompresslevel=2 % default is 0

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

%...
\begin{document}

%...

\bibliographystyle{something_here}
\bibliography{biblio}

\end{document}

A: You can use the adjustwidth environment from the chngpage package.
Try the following MWE.
% changepageprob.tex  SE 570925
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{chngpage}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]

\begin{adjustwidth}{-1cm}{-2cm}
\footnotesize
\lipsum[2]
\newpage
\lipsum[3]
\end{adjustwidth}
\lipsum[4]

\end{document}

The two arguments to adjustwidth are the amounts to be added to the left and right margins. A negative value will reduce the margin.
Inside the adjustwidth I used \footnotesize to reduce the font size.


my team and i have helped several non-profits and ministries tell their story over the years. back in 2015, we worked with Greenhouse Ministries in Murfreesboro, TN.
we found that Greenhouse assists people in times of great need, equips them to deal with their adversity in a way that generates their own forward progress, and refers them to other people that can help them keep that forward momentum going — help, educate, connect.
with these three words, we helped Greenhouse tell people about their mission with great clarity.
if you'd like to learn more about Greenhouse, visit greenhousemin.org.
if you're struggling with communicating with clarity, get in touch. let us make something like this for you.

When it comes to car complaints, there are some which could be easily diagnosed and fixed, provided you listen to your vehicle once it lets you know what is happening. Owning a car comes with a price, and sometimes you can experience problems that might derail your plans, costing you money and valuable time loss. With a bit of attention and some extra health check, thankfully, these problems can be avoided and you won't need to reach deep into your pocket. Whether we're talking about a noise, a kind of smell, a manufacturing defect or simply a strange acting on behalf of your car, the worst piece of advice is to ignore it. Just don't panic, take some precautions and everything else will be alright. In case we are discussing major body damage, you will, however, need to address the specialists in the matter. Below you shall find the most common car troubles and our suggestion of fixing it.
In case you are experiencing a slow start-up, bloated battery case and find the check engine light turned on, it is, most likely, a battery problem. Often, you should test the battery and replace it. This may be caused by a mistreatment or maybe a defect. Usually, batteries need to be changed once every three to six years.
If this is the problem you are encountering, be careful as it is dangerous. Not being able to hold a great grip on the road can lead to problems. This might be signalized to you by a vibration of the steering wheel while driving. If this is the case, take it to your mechanic to align the suspension. In terms of how often you should check this, you should know that it depends from one car to another.
Fresh oil is important for your car well being and functioning, it's a fact. Like in GOT, it is known. But if this request comes more often than you think it should, you should check if there is corrosion at the engine. It is possible that the oil filter got clogged, so the best thing you can do is change the filter every time you change the oil, around 3,000 – 5,000 miles.
The best idea, in this scenario, is to change the radiator, as patching it would only delay the inevitable. The symptoms are quite evident: your air conditioning starts to fail and you will see a trace of coolant down on the road. Your engine might also overheat because of it. You should also think of checking if the connectors are in place.
A faulty plug can cause some other engine faults, such as rough idling or misfiring cylinder. You can change them by yourself, thus solving the problem with a cheap price, but even if you will decide to take it to the shop, it won't come out as costly, for sure. If you come by hard starts, then it is a high possibility that this is the issue.

Arrested hydrocephalus and the Round Britain Quiz
By Steve on April 12, 2012 | Filed in Essays | No comments yet
In the British Medical Journal (subscription required) Dalrymple recounts the difficult life of the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne:
According to the pathologist William B Ober, who wrote many essays on the pathography of authors, Swinburne experienced anoxic brain damage at birth as a result of his large head (a state of arrested hydrocephalus). This anoxic damage manifested itself in Swinburne's lifelong choreiform movements, his dysgraphia, tics, and hyperkinesis, as well as in his masochism. Portraits of Swinburne indeed show him as having a massive upper head by comparison with the rest of his body.
The lines quoted above are from "The Triumph of Time," the long lament that he wrote after his one and only disappointment in love, after which he swore that he would never marry. And he never did. According to Harold Nicolson's book Swinburne (1926), and other sources, the loved one was Jane Faulkner, the foster daughter of Sir John Simon—surgeon, public health pioneer, and later author of English Sanitary Institutions. Jane was fostered because her mother, Sir John's sister, had died when she was young.
Sir John, whose sanitary reports were quoted by Karl Marx, kept a literary salon that luminaries such as John Ruskin attended, as did Swinburne. The latter addressed verses to Jane, who was scarcely more than 10 years old at the time. According to legend, he offered to marry her but she laughed at him; there was an altercation between them and he fled the house never to return. He then wrote his poem that quivers with misery: "I shall go my ways, tread out my measure, / Fill the days of my daily breath / With fugitive things not good to treasure . . ."

Faculty & Research Case Studies Nike Sustainability and Labor Practices 2008-2013
Nike Sustainability and Labor Practices 2008-2013
By Glenn Carroll, Debra Schifrin, David Brady
2013 | Case No. IB106 | Length 28 pgs.
Organizational Behavior , Management
The case discusses Nike's sustainability and labor practices from 1998 to 2013, focusing on the successful steps Nike took up and down the supply chain and in its headquarters to make its products and processes more environmentally friendly, and the challenges and complexities it was still facing in its efforts to improve labor conditions. Nike's labor practices were the subject of high profile public protests in the 1990s, and CEO Mark Parker said the company still had a lot of work to do in that area. The case also details how making sustainability a key part of the design process led Nike to develop more innovative and high-performing products, such as a breakthrough running shoe called the Flyknit, which was widely worn at the 2012 Olympics. Following protests in the late 1990s over unsafe working conditions, low wage rates, excessive overtime, restrictions on employee organizing, and negative environmental impacts, Nike began shifting from a reactive to a proactive mode. During the 15 years covered in this case, Nike made significant changes in its sustainability practices, including moving its Corporate Responsibility team much further upstream in the organization, where it could have a greater impact on decisions by providing input early in the process. The company also developed multiple indexes that measured its sustainability practices and those of its independent contract manufacturers. The indexes had metrics for measuring the relevant impacts of product waste, water, chemistry, labor, and energy. Nike's critics said many labor issues had not been resolved, but Nike made progress in that area through collaboration with governments, NGOs and labor unions, and through management compliance trainings. If a contract factory did not score high enough on the company's sustainability and labor ratings scales, Nike would impose sanctions on the factory or even drop it from the supply chain. These actions took Nike off the top of most activists' target lists.
The learning objective of the case is for students to understand how a large, high-profile global company is navigating the complexities of becoming more sustainable and improving labor practices.

Q: How to find current background colour of UIButton How do I find the current background color of UIButton and store that color name in NSString or NSMutableArray.

A: Here you go my friend.
UIColor* buttonColor = button.backgroundColor;
NSString* colorString = [buttonColor description];

A: uicolors don't have all have names
BUT you can use erica sudan's category
How to get the name of a UIColor?
it finds the closest color name given a color
(disclaimer: not my code there)
alternatively use hex values:
see https://github.com/timd/UIColor-HexValues
it has a category on UIColor to go from color to hex as well from hex to color
(disclaimer: not my code there)


HERE'S another of those magical interviews conducted over the Internet by Deborah Fisher. The subject is T A Von Reiman, author of Storms of Destiny.
Deborah: What made you want to be a writer?
T.A.: I've always been fascinated by books and the many places they can take you. Everything I see, smell, taste or hear inspires me to create a story. I have a very vivid imagination and it spins tales and creates worlds out of whatever situation I am in. I can be sitting in a waiting room and I will observe a couple or a family and immediately I begin to imagine where they live, what kind of life they have and add dialogue even when I can't hear them speak. Writing fiction provides a home for all my creations and allows me to expand and mould them to fit into a story. When I can describe my characters and story so completely that I see the understanding in the eyes of all who read it then I am fulfilled and start on the next imaginary scenes.
Deborah: It sounds like fiction is your forte. Do you specialise in a particular genre?
T.A.: Any type of fiction. I enjoy creating suspense and mystery as well as fantasy. I have been trying my hand at non-fiction lately but my first love will always be fiction. It's watching the story unfold that drives me and brings me the most enjoyment.
Deborah: You've already said you have a fertile imagination. Where do you get your ideas?
T.A.: From everyone and everywhere. It may be some piece of a conversation I hear, something that I remember from my childhood or a trip I took. Sometimes a situation touches my heart and I feel inspired to write about it and perhaps get information out to people even if it is hidden within the pages of my fiction stories. I recently wrote a short story for a writing competition entitled The Strength Within; it is a story based on a woman who is in an abusive relationship. It is fiction but the details and pain are real.
Deborah: If ideas aren't a problem, is there anything you do find difficult about writing?
T.A.: For me it is ending the story. I become so enthralled by my characters and their lives that it's hard for me to bring it all to a nice tidy ending. I guess that's why I am writing a sequel to Storms of Destiny. I just can't see putting all those lively characters to rest. I think they have a lot more living to do. It's also very difficult for me to kill off one of my characters, no matter how much they may deserve it. It seems so final. I guess it's because I spend so much time bringing them to life that I really hate to take it away from them. But my major area of opportunity is editing. I am definitely not an English expert and grammar sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out.
Deborah: What else have you published?
T.A.: Storms of Destiny is coming soon and I am working on the sequel as well as a fantasy novel entitled The Eyes of Horu". I have sent a short story entitled Hank's Day Out to several on-line sites. I have a poem entitled Forget Me Not coming out with The International Library of Poetry in a coffee table poetry book entitled Eternal Portraits shortly. This poem will also be included on a poetry CD and I have another poem, The Gift, coming out in the Who's Who of Poetry by The International Library of Poetry. I have a new E-zine magazine that I have just started and samples of my work as well as that of others authors can be found there. The site address is http:// www.tavonreiman.net/. I welcome everyone to take a look and send me their comments.
Deborah: Many writers consider networking important. Do you have any links with other writers or writers' groups?
T.A.: I belong to a workshop called Critters. It is designed to give writers a place to critique each other's work. I think this has been very valuable to me and has helped me fine-tune my skills. Of course it is like every place else and sometimes you get someone who just wants to knock you to your knees but this is also helpful. Because it's good to learn that not everyone is going to like everything you write and once you turn your work out to the public you have to be prepared to take the good with the bad. I think that all writers should have some form of communication with other writers, publishers and editors. It's good to have a professional point of view on your work so you know where you really stand in that area. But ultimately each piece is the writer's own creation and only they can decide if they want to revise it to fit someone else's desires.
Deborah: I'm glad you said that, because it's very much in keeping with the principles behind the Tregolwyn Book Reviews site. Is there anyone in particular who has been of help to you?
T.A.: Actually there are many people. Every writer that has captivated my attention with one of their tales has helped me succeed. I truly believe I can do anything anyone else can do. I may have to try harder or study more but I can accomplish anything that anyone else can. Every person that has read my stories as they first began and asked me questions about parts they didn't understand and gave me their honest opinions have been invaluable to my success.
Deborah: (laughs) I'll count myself in then. Do you model yourself on any particular writer?
T.A.: I'm not really sure. It's very difficult for me to see my own style. I have been told that my strengths are the vivid details and descriptions I give in my stories. I enjoy the writings of many authors, Stephen King, John Grisham, Danielle Steel and Nicholas Sparks to mention a few. I can only hope that one day I will be as gifted as these individuals and I would love to have a style similar to any one of them.
Deborah: So what's next for you? What are your writing goals?
T.A.: To write and get published as much as possible. To have one or more of my books turned into movies and to be allowed to write the screenplay. But mostly to always be able to be proud of what I write and not to feel I have sold out any of my own ideals. I have to always be true to myself above all in my writing.
Deborah: Where do you hope to be in a year from now?
Deborah: It's good to see that you are willing to take advice and criticism from others. Do you have any advice of your own to offer other new writers?
T.A.: Well I guess it would be write, write, write, submit, submit and submit and write some more. This is the only way to get published and sometimes it is a very frustrating road. Also I would say don't sacrifice your own voice and style for commercialism. I'm not saying that some revisions might not be needed but always remain true to the story you set out to tell. Don't let someone force you to revise to the point that you don't recognize your own work. Just keep knocking on doors and you will find someone that will believe in your work and want it for the valuable creation that it is. That is what I found when my publisher contacted me. Publish America has believed in my work and accepted it for what it is, my expression, and I am so grateful to them for this. I would recommend them to anyone for that reason alone. But mostly I guess I would say don't take yourself too seriously. Sometimes you have to laugh at yourself and go on; that's part of being a writer.

Wärtsilä contracted to install energy system in Lerwick
HELSINKI-headquartered Wärtsilä has been contracted to provide grid balancing services and reserve power to the Shetland Islands.
The firm's advanced energy storage system will be supplied to Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution.
Wärtsilä will support the installation at Lerwick Power Station, the main generator for the local grid. The firm said its energy storage solution will provide spinning reserve capacity while also facilitating further integration of wind power into the system.
It added that the energy system will follow the grid and save on spinning reserve, allowing for a saving on fuel and reduction in CO2 emissions. The solution will also facilitate the integration of wind turbine-generated electricity into the grid – with the firm saying this will provide further stability to the entire energy system.
The project is being delivered by Wärtsilä under a full engineering, procurement and construction contract. The contract comes alongside a ten-year service agreement and guarantee of 24/7 support and management from the firm.
Darren Hitchen, embedded generation manager at Lerwick Power Station, said, "As the electricity distribution network operator responsible for ensuring homes and businesses in Shetland receive a safe, secure and reliable supply of electricity, we're investing in Lerwick Power Station to support full duty operations of the station until Shetland is connected to the GB electricity system. A reliable supply of electricity is essential to the local community and the North Sea oil companies operating out of Shetland, which is 200 kilometres from the northern tip of Scotland.
"The Wärtsilä energy storage system will enhance the islands' security of supply, while at the same time lowering our carbon footprint."
Bent Iversen, senior business development manager at Wärtsilä, added, "Wärtsilä and SSEN maintain a long-lasting business relationship over the past two decades. We are very pleased to continue this cooperation by deploying our advanced energy storage system at Lerwick Power Station, which makes us part of Shetland Islands' energy system. The GridSolv Max energy storage solution will support the power station's spinning reserve functionality and can provide black start back-up."

The 2013 Bournemouth Air Festival was launched last night with the promise of another land, sea and air spectacular this summer.
Topping the bill, the Red Arrows and Typhoon Eurofighter will be performing three displays each.
Recognised as one of the top ten air shows in the world by USA Today, the festival has attracted nearly five million visitors since its launch in 2008.
The Royal Navy will have a bigger presence than ever before.
Among the ships will be the Type-23 frigates HMS Northumberland and HMS Monmouth. In the air will be a Black Cat Lynx and Merlin helicopters, and the Royal Marines will storm the beach from a number of landing craft in their amphibious assault demonstration.
This year's Night Air, the festival's evening entertainment programme, is set to be the biggest so far. Along with live music from two seafront stages, a third night of dusk air displays is being planned.
The night programme will also see the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Collingwood Beating Retreat on the East Overcliff after an unarmed combat demonstration by the Royal Marines Commando Display Team.
Also on show will be the Tutor and Tucano training aircraft, the iconic Battle of Britain Memorial Flight comprising a Hurricane, Spitfire and Lancaster bomber and the Chinook helicopter.
Jon Weaver, Air Festival Director, said: "We're delighted to have the Reds back to full strength and the Typhoon returning for three displays, which is a first for us, is something Festival-goers have been wanting since it last appeared in 2010.
Confirmation of the civilian line-up will come later.
The festival runs from Thursday August 29 to Sunday September 1.

Murfreesboro mosque leader says enough's enough: Foes of the center in Murfreesboro file request to appeal
MURFREESBORO — An Islamic Center of Murfreesboro leader Tuesday questioned why plaintiffs opposed to government approval of mosque construction continue to appeal their case.
"We have already wasted enough energy and money on this issue," said Saleh Sbenaty, a board member with the ICM and a 20-year professor at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro. "We have been here for over 30 years. This is our home. We are productive members of our community. We have no other place to go."
The plaintiffs hope the state's top court will overrule a Tennessee Appeals Court decision in late May that supported the way the Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission approved plans for the ICM to construct a mosque on Veals Road, off Bradyville Pike.
Federal court intervenes
A federal court in Nashville intervened at the request of the U.S. Department of Justice and the ICM in July 2012 and determined that the local case violated the congregation's First Amendment religious freedom and land-use rights. The federal court ruling allowed the congregation to move into its new mosque in August 2012, before the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, a time when Muslims are to fast during the day, worship at night, seek forgiveness and treat others well.

Muslim Council of Britain publishes report on history of Muslims in British Armed Forces
Ahead of Remembrance Sunday on November 8, commemorating the end of the First World War, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) published a special report highlighting the long-standing and continued support for the Armed Forces. "Remembering the Brave: The Muslim Contribution to Britain's Armed Forces" outlines how Muslims have made a historic contribution to the defense of the nation. The document also covers the current contribution of British Muslims to the UK military.
Highlighting past polling data, the document suggests that British Muslims tend to take the sophisticated enough stand to support our troops while dissenting from the government's decision to send those troops to controversial conflicts. An ICM-run survey in June of 500 British Muslims over the age of 16, found that 78 percent said they opposed Taliban attacks against UK and NATO soldiers in Afghanistan and three-quarters of those surveyed said it was wrong for the West to intervene militarily in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In this publication, the MCB acknowledges that the operations which the Armed Forces are engaged in today are deeply controversial. But that is not simply a concern amongst Muslims; it is shared by other British people also.

CAIR Asks FBI to Probe Paintball Attack on Maryland Mosque
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) called on the FBI and local law enforcement to investigate a paintball attack on a mosque in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Officials at the Islamic Center of Maryland (ICM) said that up to 70 paintballs were shot at the facility on a recent early Saturday morning. "We urge both the FBI and local police to investigate a possible bias motive for this incident," said CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper.

Many Asians 'do not feel British'
More than a third of British Asians do not feel British, a BBC poll suggests. The research among the under-34s for the Asian Network found 38% of the UK residents of South Asian origin felt only slightly or not at all British. More than a third agreed to get on in the UK they needed to be a "coconut", a term for somebody who is "brown on the outside but white on the inside". ICM Research interviewed 500 Asian people aged 16-34 and 235 white people aged 18-34 between 4 and 12 July. Of those polled 84% were satisfied with life in Britain and almost half thought they have more opportunities here. All of the British Asians polled were of South Asian origin… Among the British Asians interviewed were 296 Muslims, 112 Hindus, 39 Sikhs and 33 Christians.

Most British Muslims back the government's plans to deport radical Islamist "hate preachers"
Most British Muslims back the government's plans to deport radical Islamist "hate preachers" it says could inspire bombers like those who attacked London in July, a poll published on Sunday showed. The ICM poll found that 65 percent of Muslims backed the new government measures and 27 percent opposed them. Ninety percent said they would immediately tell police if they suspected someone was planning or had carried out a terrorist attack. Just over two thirds of those questioned said Britain's 1.8 million Muslims bore "a lot" of responsibility for rooting out Islamist extremists, 19 percent said they bore "a little" responsibility and nine percent said they bore none. ICM interviewed 500 Muslims by telephone between Sept. 1 and 7 for the poll, published in the News Of The World newspaper. Home Secretary Charles Clarke has published a list of "unacceptable behaviours" which would prompt immediate action — either deportation or a ban on entry. Last month, Britain said it was detaining 10 people, including the alleged spiritual leader of Al Qaeda in Europe, Jordanian national Abu Qatada, and would deport them. It has also barred hardline Muslim cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, who left for Lebanon last month, from returning to Britain. Civil liberties campaigners say they are worried Britain will deport people to countries where they might be tortured. The government responds that it is seeking agreements with other governments — like one it struck recently with Jordan — to guarantee the safety of deportees.

Interview - PLAYHOUSE Writer/Directors Fionn and Toby Watts
The filmmaking brothers discuss their Scottish set horror.
Premiering at Frightfest back in August, Playhouse centres around a notorious horror writer who moves into an ancient castle with his teenage daughter to work on his next play; only to face terrifying consequences when his daughter falls prey to a supernatural evil lurking within the castle walls.
It's been five years since brothers Toby and Fionn Watts first came up with the idea for Playhouse, as they explain to us in this exclusive interview.
Playhouse. How long of a journey has this been for you, lads?
Wow, yeah, a long time! Although we shot the film at the end of 2018, and wrote the screenplay earlier that year, we were working on ideas that eventually led to the outline for Playhouse some years before that. So from script to screen, three years, but from starting working on ideas that eventually became Playhouse, more like five years. And if we go back further to when we decided to go for it as filmmakers with the aim of one day making that first feature, more like 15 years!
When did you first put pen to paper on the script?
We started developing the treatment for the film at the end of 2017 through until early 2018. It was probably around March or so of 2018 when Toby actually started writing the screenplay, and it took a few months of work and revisions to have a final draft. And even then we were pulling scenes out and making changes up until right before the shoot at the end of 2018. Scheduling and limitations of the location can impose some interesting restraints on the screenplay! But these can also create new ideas and opportunities, so bring it on.
And the idea evolved over time, I believe?
Yeah, we went through so many different ideas, all set at the location that we filmed at in the north of Scotland. We knew we had to make a film here - how could we not? - the question was simply, 'what's the film?' We had ideas for a comedy mock documentary, for a heart-searing family drama, a sci-fi thriller. We spent months developing each of these, creating characters, backstory, controlling ideas. We loved all the ideas but eventually we realised that the location just didn't feel like it made sense of the story. It's a really unique place and if we made a film that didn't belong there, audiences would be confused. Only certain kinds of characters would actually live there or move there. Ultimately, we landed on this ambitious, unhinged horror writer - exactly the kind of person who would buy a dilapidated Scottish castle by the sea - and worked out the idea from there. And the rest is history!
Do you find one of you are better at writing situations, and the other dialogue? Who writes what?
We both work together intensively on the treatment, which is mostly plot and events, tone and subtext. But when it comes to actually writing the screenplay, it's Toby who sits down and does the lonely job of hammering the keys. The craft of writing has always been more Toby's thing, whilst Fionn has always been happy to be involved at the ideas and development stage and then let Toby get on with creating the dialogue and grafting through the script itself. After the first draft, Fionn always comes in with really helpful notes on the tone, the pacing, the dialogue and characterisation and more, which is key for Toby to get perspective on the drafts he's working on. In fact, Toby made a joke when we had a meeting with all our crew the night before shooting, which was that he had one more credit than Fionn, that of the 'Writer', so you need to listen to him more. We can laugh about it because although it's true that Toby has the screenplay credit and Fionn has a 'Story By' credit, when it comes down to it, we're both so involved at the concept and outlining stage that even though Toby wrote the screenplay, it has never felt like it's 'Toby's script'. It's both of ours. Toby is just doing the labour!
Co-directing. So who gets to hold the megaphone? In all seriousness, I imagine there's a lot of compromising going on?
We have quite a fluid process between us. We've been making films as brothers for years and we've just found a way of working and communicating that makes sense for us. Broadly, Toby will get more hands on with the director of photography and actors and work out the blocking and shot grammar, whilst Fionn keeps a close eye on performances and how things are working as a whole. But this could change depending on how strongly either of us would feel about a scene. Sometimes Fionn would jump in and Toby would step back so Fionn could really drive things the way he sees it. The key to this working, though, is that we were so incredibly unified in our vision from the start and in our planning of the shoot, that we never had to debate anything on set. We'd only have creative discussions around the nuances of performance or whether we were achieving what we planned. There's simply no time on set to be disagreeing with each other or talking about who's going to do what, or working out from scratch what a scene needs to accomplish, let's put it that way.
Have you always got along? I can't imagine two squabbling brothers directing a movie together…
In a nutshell, yes. We're best of friends. In our early days of filmmaking, we definitely stood on each other's toes. We were both making films separately for a few years before joining together and this created a lot of tension when we'd be working together, particularly in the edit. There's no right or wrong way to make a film, so you really have to learn to respect each other's way of doing things. It took time, but now we instinctively know what the other wants and we can sense when one of us isn't happy with something. Most if not all of these issues are worked out before the shoot, though, during the hard graft of creating the story and the screenplay. If it ain't right on the page it ain't right on the stage. When it comes to directing on set, we were just referring to our notes and our shot list and simply executing what we'd discussed in detail long before. However, we had to stay open to new ideas, of course, and numerous times one or the other of us would have a brain wave and suggest a new shot or different approach to a scene. But because we were so unified in our vision from the outset, we knew we could trust each other, even if we needed to see it play out in front of the camera before we knew it worked.
Without going into spoiler territory, do you have a favourite moment in Playhouse?
Great question! We could probably pick a few for different reasons. For example, when a tricky steadicam shot just worked beautifully, or when the light fell unexpectedly and enhanced a moment, or when an actor gave a brilliantly nuanced performance you didn't expect. But if we had to choose one moment, it's when a couple of the characters are having a drink together and there's a shot we never planned to get but happened to spot in a window reflection whilst shooting a different angle. The scene didn't feel like it was working until we swung the camera around and grabbed this shot - and from that moment on, everyone in the room knew we had cracked it, and it just made sense of what the scene was about. A happy accident, they call it!
Playhouse is on US/CAN VOD now. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.

I'm a sucker for simplicity, if I could…I'd live in all black, so anyway that I can add a weeny bit of detail is always welcomed and this jacket from MISS BEHAVER is the perfect way to do that.
It's also a brilliant way of not losing safety pins as I'm a nightmare when it comes to that….anyone else inspired to do a lil DIY'ing after seeing this sexual jacket?
As I said in a previous post this week, leggings and over sized Tee….standard!
However I have been purchasing variations in style and colour along with a pair of *excuse me while I touch myself with excitement* BLACKMILK leggings!!!
I've literally visited that website twice a week since I discovered the brand, trying to justify the cost (and probable customers charges) of a purchase from them…So as another "Congratulations to me on my new job" purchase…I bit the bullet, maybe I will stop congratulating myself sometime soon?

Lionsgate Films (formerly known as Cinépix Film Properties) is an American[2] film production and film distribution studio, headquartered in Santa Monica and founded in Canada, and is the flagship division of Lionsgate Entertainment. It is the largest and most successful mini-major film studio in North America. It focuses on foreign and independent films and has distributed various commercially successful film series, including The Hunger Games, Rambo, Divergent, The Punisher (prior to Marvel Studios acquiring its rights back in 2013), John Wick, Saw, Madea, Blair Witch, Now You See Me, Hostel, The Expendables, Sinister, The Twilight Saga and Step Up (both partially, via the firm's 2012 acquisition of two series' distributor Summit Entertainment. The latter was distributed by Disney's Touchstone Pictures since its first film).

Cinépix
Cinépix was founded by John Dunning and Andre Link in 1962.[3] Cinépix, based in Montreal, was a Canadian independent motion picture company that released English- and French-language films in Canada and the United States.[4]
Initially a distribution company, Cinépix's first production was the 1969 erotic drama Valérie, which earned $1 million at the box office.[5] Cinépix produced early work by David Cronenberg (Shivers) and Ivan Reitman (Meatballs).[6] The company also distributed art-house films including the grunge rock documentary Hype, Vincent Gallo's Buffalo '66, and SICK: The Life & Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist.[7]
From 1989 to 1994, Cinépix was partners with Famous Players in C/FP Distribution, which was renamed Cinépix Film Properties (C/FP). In 1994, Cinépix bought Famous Players' stake in the organization.[8]
By 1997, Cinépix had a New York-based U.S. distribution arm and owned 56 percent of Ciné-Groupe, an animated film production company.[7]
Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation (LGEC) was formed in 1997 by Frank Giustra, a banker.[9] LGEC purchased Cinépix and kept its leadership.[7] Cinépix was renamed Lions Gate Films on January 13, 1998.[10] LGEC also purchased the Vancouver-based North Shore Studios, which became Lions Gate Studios.[7] In June 1998, LGE purchased International Movie Group, whose film library included Jean-Claude Van Damme's Kickboxer.[7]
Its first major box office success was American Psycho in 2000, which began a trend of producing and distributing films too controversial for the major film studios.[11] Other notable films included Affliction (1998),[12] Gods and Monsters (1998),[13] Dogma (1999),[14] Cube 2: Hypercube (2002), Open Water (2003), Saw (2004),[15] The Punisher (2004) and the Michael Moore documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), which had been the studio's highest-grossing film until the release of The Hunger Games in 2012.[16]
Giustra left the firm in 2000.[9] That same year, Jon Feltheimer became CEO and Michael Burns became vice chairman.[17] They decided to focus on the profits of videos and DVDs and began buying struggling firms that controlled large libraries. The two most notable acquisitions were Trimark Holdings (650 titles) in 2000[7] and Artisan Entertainment in 2003.[18] The Trimark purchase also included CinemaNow, a broadband streaming website, where Lionsgate could feature its own movies.[7] These two purchases along with others gave Lions Gate a large DVD (and later Blu-Ray) library, which includes Total Recall, Reservoir Dogs, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Young Guns, Dirty Dancing and Apocalypse Now, in some cases via output deals with StudioCanal, American Zoetrope, and Miramax (most of them the result of prior licensing deals with Lions Gate's home video predecessor Artisan).[citation needed]
Lions Gate occasionally co-produces films with major studios. For example, Lions Gate teamed with Miramax Films for the 2004 sequel Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights and with Paramount Pictures for 2002's Narc and 2004's The Prince & Me which was given a studio credit. Lions Gate was also a silent partner in 20th Century Fox's 2004 sci-fi film The Day After Tomorrow. Also in 2004, Lions Gate joined forces with United Artists in producing Hotel Rwanda.[19]
On August 1, 2005, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp acquired the entire library of Modern Entertainment.[20][21] On October 17, 2005, Lionsgate acquired Redbus Film Distribution for $35 million[22][23] and became Lionsgate UK on February 23, 2006.[24][25] Following this, Zygi Kamasa, who co-founded Redbus with Simon Franks, became CEO of Lionsgate UK and Europe.
In 2007, Joe Drake became Lionsgate's co-COO and motion picture group president.[26] Lionsgate cut back its annual production by four in February 2009.[27]
The Lionsgate film The Hunger Games grossed $68.3 million when it premiered at the U.S. box office on March 23, 2012. It was the best opening day ever for a non-sequel and the fifth highest of all time. Of that total, $19.7 million was earned via Thursday midnight screenings.[28] In its first weekend, The Hunger Games grossed $152.5 million, making it Lionsgate's highest-grossing film after just three days.[29]
On January 13, 2012, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp acquired Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the Twilight and Step Up series for $412.5 million.[30] On May 3, 2012, Lionsgate Films made an agreement with CodeBlack Enterprises' CEO Jeff Clanagan to create CodeBlack Films, based at Lionsgate.[31] Drake left in 2012 to found Good Universe.[26]
On January 16, 2013, Lionsgate announced a low-budget film division to be led by John Sacchi. The division will release films under $2.5 million. Sacchi has recently looked to acquire such films as Rock Bottom Creek (2012) and other independently made films as well.[32] On Thursday, November 22, 2013, Lions Gate released The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. In its opening weekend, the movie grossed $158 million at the US box office, surpassing its predecessor, which generated $150 million in its opening weekend.[33] The film had a budget of $130 million, breaking even soon after its opening, and making it profitable. Critics highly praised the film; it received a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 89% "certified fresh".[34] The third Hunger Games film, Mockingjay- Part 1, was released in 2014. The final film, Mockingjay - Part 2, was released in 2015.
On April 1, 2015, according to Deadline, Lions Gate announced it has created its new label, Lionsgate Premiere. This new label will handle up to 15 releases a year, targeting young audiences at theaters and digital outlets. The new label, part of the company's diversification effort, will incorporate Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment titles and then specialize in "innovative multiplatform and other release strategies" to reach "affinity audiences with branded content and targeted marketing." Marketing and Research SVP Jean McDowell will handle marketing, with distribution to be run by Adam Sorensen, who currently manages Western Sales.[35]
On May 2, 2016, according to Deadline Hollywood, Lions Gate announced it has teaming with eight international companies to launch the GlobalGate Entertainment consortium. GlobalGate will produce and distribute local-language films in markets around the world. Lionsgate said Monday it has partnered with international entertainment executives Paul Presburger, William Pfeiffer and Clifford Werber to launch GlobalGate.[36]
Drake returned in October 2017 as Liongate's film group chairman. The company laid off staff for theatrical marketing and publicity in its New York office, and moved to end its participation as a partner in CodeBlack Films in January 2019. The cut backs were due to the failures of Robin Hood, and comedy The Spy Who Dumped Me.[26] In June 2019, Hulu and FX picked up show rights to Lionsgate films released in 2020 and 2021.[37]
