Why, yes, I will be riding this Quatermass gravy train as long as I keep doing these A-Z challenges.
Last year we re-watched The Quatermass Xperiment, a superb thriller that was the prototype for a particular sub-genre of monster movies. And this year I find myself re-watching its sequel, once more adapted from a Nigel Kneale TV serial, and finding it both more and less than its progenitor.
Quatermass (Brian Donlevy), the American head of the British Rocket Group, has problems, and oddly, they aren't because his last launch brought a monster back from outer space. His current model rocket has a nuclear engine, and it is so faulty that it can't be safely launched, putting his whole Moon Base project in peril. Adding to this bad day is the near-accident that opens the movie, as a woman trying to get her injured and seemingly delirious boyfriend to a hospital, nearly runs him off the road. This boyfriend was burned by an apparent meteorite that broke open in his hands.
Speaking of meteorites, the radar at the Group's rocket base has been picking up strange swarms of small objects, except they're moving too slowly to actually be meteorites – and they're all falling at the same remote village where the man was injured. Quatermass takes a road trip there, ignoring various KEEP OUT signs, only to find a ruined village and… his Moon Base.
Much skullduggery and digging up details follows, as Quatermass eventually determines this facility – supposedly a top secret project developing "artificial food" – actually is a Moon Base of sorts – the pressure domes housing not astronauts, but the creatures traveling in the fake meteorites, which cannot exist in Earth's atmosphere unless they invade and infect human beings. It's a quiet invasion that's been going on for several years, compromising even the higher reaches of government, and it's up to Quatermass – and our old pal from the first movie, Inspector Lomax of Scotland Yard (John Longden, this time) to put a stop to it.
So the breadth of the story this time does not have the same lean, mean quality of Xperiment, and that is perfectly all right – that is what a sequel is supposed to be, and so rarely is – an expansion on the first movie, with new challenges for its heroes. The back-and-forth nature of the plot's unfolding works against, it, though, and it's going to take Quatermass three trips into the danger zone to find out what is going on. That's likely more due to the compression of the original serial, which ran to six half-hour episodes, than any actual fault with the filmmakers.
Nigel Kneale and director Val Guest share screenwriting credit here; Kneale had renegotiated his contract to have more power, but he couldn't override Donlevy's return as the title character. Kneale hated Donlevy's brusque, barking version of Quatermass, and claimed his alcoholism ruined everything (Guest vigorously denied this). Guest trimmed down Kneale's philosophizing and tried, once more, to produce a movie as close to cinema verite as possible, rendering the fantastic real. There is at least one cast member carried over from the TV version: the Shell refinery at Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, doubling for the ersatz moon base, a tremendous amount of production value, right there, providing the sort of sets that the fledgling Hammer Films would not have been able to afford.
Oh, yes, it's a Hammer Film. The Quatermass Xperiment was such a financial success for them, they had optioned Quatermass II (note the fancier Roman numeral) before the first page of script had passed through a typewriter. Hammer had, in fact, tried to make another Quatermass movie in the meantime, only to be stymied by Kneale's refusal to license his character; the result was 1956's X the Unknown, which is actually a pretty effective horror movie, even if it is faux Quatermass. Their anxiety over continuing this fruitful line of production would be forgotten later in 1957 when they released another little movie, Curse of Frankenstein.
Quatermass 2 is generally regarded as the least of the Quatermass movies, but look what it's up against! Xperiment and Quatermass and the Pit are both superior horror/science-fiction, and dismissing the middle child here is doing it a disservice. It is a darned good tale, and if you want to dig a little deeper, you can even say it is an allegory for corruption in high places, or government being suborned by corporations. It shouldn't be passed over, because it is, at the end of the day, good entertainment, even if it does feel langorous in pace and yet, somehow at the same time, somewhat rushed.
Of course we yanks wouldn't go to some movie with a sissy name like Quatermass! We need a more manly title!
You can try to buy Quatermass 2 on Amazon – good luck!
We'll get a commonly-known piece of trivia out of the way: the missing initial "E" in "Xperiment" was a clever little nod to the British film classification's "X" rating – no one under 16 allowed. That wouldn't have flown for us Yanks, though, who needed none of those fancy-pants classifications, we just relied on good ol' censorship to make our movie-going safe. So over here we called it The Creeping Unknown, which is much more butch.
So a rocketship crash lands just outside a British farmhouse, and among the folks flocking to the crash site are Professor Bernard Quatermass (Brian Donlevy) and Dr. Gordon Briscoe (David King-Wood) of the British-American Rocket Group. Quatermass, ever the pushy American, sent out the rocket and its three-man crew without waiting for official sanction, much to the dismay of the man from the Home Office (the always welcome Lionel Jeffries). And now this! Jeffries sputters. Shut up, Quatermass explains.
It turns out only one crewman is in there – Victor Carroon (Richard Wordsworth). All that remains of the other two are empty pressure suits. Caroon is in shock and can say nothing.
Eventually Carroon deteriorates to the point that Briscoe overrules Quatermass and has him taken to a hospital – where Judith, having had enough, hires a detective to smuggle her husband out. During this escape attempt, Carroon can't hold out anymore and punches a decorative cactus in his room. The investigator notices that Carroon's hand is now changing into cactus, and Carroon kills him, "absorbing his essence" -ie., sucking all the blood and water out of his body – and escaping into the night.
Quatermass, reluctantly joining forces with Inspector Lomax of the London Police (Jack Warner), now must track down the metamorphosing Carroon as he lurches about London, trying not to kill people but failing as the alien thing inside him grows and grows. A piece – or something of a seed pod – falls off, and examining it while it eats mice (offscreen, luckily), Briscoe deduces that once Carroon fully transforms, he will release spores, and then there will be millions of the creatures.
This is, of course, the first of the highly successful Quatermass movies, based on a character created for a popular BBC TV serial, which was, for 1955, "Event TV". It was written by Nigel Kneale, a name which would become synonymous with intelligent science fiction. Many film companies were interested in turning it into a movie, but they all balked at making something that would surely be rated "X". Except for this one upstart company, known up to that point for only making "second features" – what we call "B movies" over here. A little studio called Hammer Films.
Director Val Guest, heretofore known primarily for comedies, claims that he was the only person in England who didn't watch "The Quatermass Experiment" when it was first broadcast – he didn't like science fiction. He intended to put off Producer Anthony Hinds by going on vacation and only grudgingly taking the script with him. His wife, actress Yolande Donlan, teased him about it until he read the script in one afternoon on the beach and fell in love with it.
Kneale's original serial ran three hours, I believe, and was heavily edited for the movie. What he resented even more, however, was the casting of Donlevy as Quatermass, a necessity for selling the picture to an American market. In the serial, Quatermass is a thoughtful Oxford Don type. It has to be admitted that Donlevy's brusque, no-nonsense approach to the character propels the movie forward like a barking dog shepherding its flock. Kneale had his contract with the BBC re-negotiated so he would have more control over his intellectual property in the future (though Donlevy is still playing Quatermass in the sequel film Quatermass II – in America, Enemy From Space).
Val Guest's equally no-nonsense direction is what gives Quatermass most of its power – he decided that such a fantastic story – this is still two years before Sputnik, remember – needed a realistic delivery, and tried, as much as possible, to shoot the movie in a documentary fashion, to great effect. And no discussion of Xperiment can be complete without at least a mention of Richard Wordsworth's performance as the doomed, tortured Carroon. Never speaking, everything the character is experiencing – the horror, the struggle – is delivered only through facial expression and body language. Best known as a theatrical actor with occasional TV roles, this is Wordsworth's first movie role. Certainly not his last.
This is a ground zero movie, folks. This is the progenitor of its own sub-genre; from this descends First Man Into Space, Monster-A-Go-Go and others. As the first, it demands some respect, and that respect is quite honestly deserved.
And now for a spoiler-iffic trailer!


Stuck in Love coyly weaves together an ensemble piece of three different layers of romantic relations. It's not exactly pretending to emulate Love Absolutely and its greater flurry at examining the different shapes that it expresses itself in the human condition. Notice I am reluctant to use the word "love"; it is too liberally applied here, like too much mayonnaise on bread, when every actor in the play is utterly confused. Nevertheless, there is a sweet and succinct finish to the story.
The first and perhaps main vehicle of the narrative lies in the daughter of a divorced successful writer and his yearning for the return of his ex-wife who has abandoned him for a young handsome hunk. Stuck in Love doesn't tend to delve into the many different off-roads a more critically thoughtful film might explore. For instance, the fact that the writer has conditioned both of his children to become writers by quote encouraging them to carry journals at a young age. Some might find the eccentric encouragement something that is repulse-worthy; and not just from an outside-observer; but from one of the forced participants. And yet neither child resists the parental subordination. And in fact, what makes the story sweet is the happiness it exudes in typical movie magic. The daughter inevitably winds up having her novel published, something frankly unheard of for young authors, and she will point out she did not leverage her namesake whatsoever in getting it propagated. And the son has his science fiction short story adored by Stephen King.
Of course failure would be a distraction to the focus on love. And perhaps this is why the many other such diversions that would be tempting to explore would contribute nothing to the film's title. And yet, a good reason 'love' is not being used here is because it frankly comes too damn easy to be made believable. Everybody it appears gets what they want. How is love or the brutality of the human condition ever this joyfully simple?
Yes, it is pleasant to experience the celebration of two souls finding passion with each other. Yes, that can be easily had and easily cherished. And true, love does not need to be mucky and painful and torturous. It can be light-hearted and cheery and still be real. Which is what I think is the particular success of Love Absolutely as a commercial film, with Stuck in Love following in that motif. However, what the human soul craves when it digests drama is a fundamental component of its reality, namely tension, lest we use the word drama once again. A tension that needs resolution and relief, and within the context of love, should the subject of this particular attribute of the human condition arise. Otherwise, the soul gets bored of its reflection. It learns nothing of itself. It craves indeed more knowledge of its order. And it can only find that when it is sparked, veritably captured by confronting it with a challenge; an illusory one, but one that is sufficient in authenticating itself, by elevating its eyes towards a more perfect being.
Stuck in Love sheepishly then challenges; it doesn't penetrate the surface enough to make us think about ourselves in a profoundly new way. While it is not sufficiently a mindless diversion to take ourselves away from the real problems of our life, that anchor us down as distractions away from the sweetness of life, it is neither something that inspires to more than a happy ending.

Haken – Affinity
Tuesday May 24th, 2016 Νέες Κυκλοφoρίες 0
[InsideOut, 2016]
Intro: Lila Gatzioura
To what degree could progressive rock be related to the 80s? The answer could be "to a great degree", as paradoxical as it might sound. This is what obviously Haken had in mind when they started creating Affinity and it even seems that they focused on the most pop side of the music of this decade. The truth is that I could not imagine what effect the pop of the 80s could have on progressive metal of today. Affinity is an album with a retro atmosphere and modern sound at the same time. The band then chose to go a decade further than The Mountain, the top of their work so far, and with EP Restoration as a stopover, they serve us their new album, released this year by InsideOut.
Second best to The Mountain maybe?
The album begins with the instrumental Affinity.exe, which is an introduction to Initiate, in which heavy riffs alternate with the melodic voice of Ross Jennings. The song was the first single of the album, but do not stay there, as I would say that there are others, much better. An example of this is 1985 which gives the tone of the aesthetics of 80s, from the introduction to the electronic drumming and the synths. Without wanting to underestimate the rest, Diego Tejeida does generally the best job, with his keys in this album, which is perhaps necessary for that style. The next track, Lapse, has nice flow, with the drums setting the pace and a good guitar solo to complete a clean-Haken-ish track. The Architect which follows, the magnum opus of the album, is what all progressive-metal fans will probably love. This piece has great diversity, since in its almost 16 minutes it involves many different parts together, with variations of intensity in down-tempo landscapes and places with digital voice and the brief, but key guest participation of Einar Solberg of Leprous (you will recognize him immediately!). The guitar closes in a fantastic way The Architect, although I must admit that I personally stuck to the point with the atmospheric solo of Conner Green's bass, giving a futuristic timbre to the piece. Earthrise, which follows, could easily become a radio hit due to its short duration, but also to the pleasant, almost dancing tone. Very good work has been done to the next track, The Red Giant, which won me with the strange orchestration, while The Endless Knot again raises the intensity with its vigor. The album closes with a lovely ballad, Bound By Gravity, beautifully executed with ethereal atmosphere, while the feeling that comes out of it, takes you to places without gravity. Generally, the order of the songs gives coherence to the album, and its closure takes you back to the beginning and vice versa.
The work done on the lyrics is quite impressive: one observes that the lyrics connect the pieces together (some lyrics are titles for other pieces) and develop the thoughts on the same subject. Haken use the planets and especially the earth and the sun -as displays the stunning artwork in its simplicity (In a dying sun, I'll become affinity), but in green colours, giving a retro aesthetic of a computer monitor of the 80s to give reflections on modern society and the future of mankind in general (Gaia mourns her children / a march of progress in reverse).
Shall we be ourselves responsible for the disappearance of our species or is this something the universe has already forshadowed? Also, the phenomenon of the tides caused by the Moon is dominant, inspiring correlations for human mortality (Some say that time and tide will wait for no man … The lunar path dictates the tide, will we ever reach the shoreline?). But through the gloominess of these thoughts comes the prompt for a less narrow-minded world (nothing can change until the floodgates and the doors of perception have swung open wide) and of course hope: bless us with the gift of a morning that lightens the day, infecting us with hope…
Haken dared and everything indicates that they handed us one of the best albums of the year for the progressive metal so far. All this combined with the consistent and targeted work by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Devin Townsend, Between The Buried And Me) in the mix leaves no room for less…
Lila Gatzioura
2nd opinion
The emotions Affinity leaves you are mixed. It contains some very good compositions, such as the retro 1985, the excellent The Architect with its dark atmosphere and its guitar dynamics, and the modern upbeat with djent powdering, The Endless Knot. On the other hand, in many parts there is a monotony accompanied by "mellifluous" compositions or cheesy ones, as the English say. Affinity is safe, predictable and fatally retains its quality without irritating your ears further.
In the end, you realize that Haken, in the parts where they dared to harden and to inoculate prog rock nuggets, they did a great job, but in the parts where they wanted to follow the metal beaten track, they do not correspond to the expectations οf the audience or the demands of the genre.

Georgetown made the move many thought they wouldn't make, firing John Thompson III following a disappointing 2016-17 season on Thursday afternoon.
The Hoyas are still inquiring about potential candidates. But one former star currently enjoying life as a NBA associate head coach could be at the top of the program's list.
Patrick Ewing, who was coached by Thompson Jr., was a three-time All-American player and a 1984 NCAA champion is thought to be a top possible candidate for the now open head coach position, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski.
On Thursday, Wojnarowski reported that Ewing was very happy in his current position with the Charlotte Hornets. But as Wojnarowski points out, Ewing's son is currently on the Georgetown staff and this position represents perhaps his best chance to get a head coaching job after being passed over many times in the NBA.
RELATED: NINE CANDIDATES FOR THE GEORGETOWN HEAD COACHING JOB
But the reason the job is open may be the reason Ewing doesn't take the job.
Ewing considers Thompson Jr. a second father. Ewing was also a fan of the team under John Thompson III's leadership and even expressed grief over his dismissal. So, naturally this could seem like a stab in the back if he were to take the position.
Nothing is set in stone, but, Ewing really does seem like the ideal candidate.
If the Hoyas want to keep the head coaching position within the family — Ewing is the next best thing.

Korean Air Chairman Cho Yang-ho on Thursday quit the top post in Jin Air Co. amid ongoing investigations into his family over a series of allegations of physical and verbal violence as well as tax evasion and smuggling.
Jin Air made the announcement in a regulatory filing with the Financial Supervisory Service. The low-cost carrier (LCC) said Cho's resignation from its CEO post is intended to strengthen a responsible management system by a professional manager.
Jin Air is the budget unit of Korean Air Lines Co., the country's No. 1 full-service airline. Both companies are part of Hanjin, a transportation and logistics conglomerate.
Cho's resignation is the latest in a series of moves by Cho's family to try to ease mounting public outrage over allegations of misconduct.
In April, South Korea's customs service raided Korean Air headquarters over suspicions that Cho's family members sneaked luxury goods into South Korea without paying duties.
Police have also launched an investigation into chairman Cho's wife -- Lee Myung-hee -- over alleged physical and verbal abuse.
Lee, who is chairperson of the nonprofit Ilwoo Foundation, allegedly tried to slap the face of a construction crew worker hired to remodel her Seoul residence in 2013 while forcing the worker to kneel down. The worker avoided being hit by moving his head backward, and Lee yelled at the worker and kicked his knee.
She is also suspected of insulting an employee at the Incheon-based Grand Hyatt hotel, affiliated with Hanjin Group, and later having the worker fired for not recognizing her and calling her an old woman.
Separately, Cho's youngest daughter, Cho Hyun-min, a former executive of Korean Air and Jin Air, is the subject of a probe for allegedly throwing water in the face of an ad agency manager during a meeting in March.
She is the younger sister of Cho Hyun-ah, who gained global notoriety for the "nut rage" incident in 2014. Cho Hyun-ah forced a plane back to the boarding gate at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport because she was upset with the way her nuts were served -- in an unopened bag instead of on a plate.

I just came across this through one of the trending topics on twitter currently and i found that it lay out the differences quite clearly in phrases that are most often used incorrectly, whether it is a word spelled incorrectly or used in the wrong context.
Where i'm editing essays or papers for my little cousins or friends, i noticed some of the mistakes listed below many times over.
Lose (opposite of win) vs. loose (not tight).
Weird (e before i), not wierd.
Their (implies a possession, owning something) vs. they're (a contraction for 'they are') vs. there (refers to a place or an idea; or something abstract).
Your (possessive, the idea that you own something) vs. you're (a contraction for 'you are').
It's (a contraction for 'it is' or 'it has') vs. its (indicates possession).
Effect (a noun; to cause) vs. affect (a verb; have an influence on).
A lot, not alot (no such word). The site i linked to above humorously (and correctly) notes that 'you don't write alittle, abunch, acantaloupe… so don't write alot'.
Then (used for time) vs. than (used for comparison).
I don't know about you, but i LOVE playing old board games with family and friends. Tonight, my little cousin Imran stayed over after a really long time and we (my brothers, Imran, and I) played a game of monopoly (that took over four hours!) the old fashioned way (after a few years) – and it got me thinking.
We used to play so many board games (like chess, checkers, chinese checkers, mastermind just to name a few) when we were little… and it reminded me of that time today. I wish we still played as much as we used to, but honestly no one does anymore. Like i was telling some of my family members some time ago, no one takes the time to play board games or actively play games outside and things like that anymore. Now, 'playing' a game means playing something on the computer or a gaming system like the Wii or X-box. By the way, i can pretty much guarantee my brothers will argue me on this.
Even the newest edition of monopoly now is computerized with a 'credit card' like system to take away the mathematical portion of the game. Don't get me wrong – it's a neat aspect, but part of the fun of the game was the old fashioned way to play it. Sure, the game runs much faster now… but that was half the fun.
I am still relatively young, but i can remember clearly that we used to go outside and play regularly after school and whatnot when we were younger. Nowadays, you don't see that too much. Of course there are changes with each generation, but don't you think some things should always remain the same?
Not only is playing actively outside or a board game with others healthy, but it is great for your social skills. People nowadays, especially little kids, lack basic social skills that are necessary to be able to communicate with others. I can't count the number of times I've noticed people (of all ages) not being to communicate with other people face to face.
Technology is great, by all means – I'm not arguing that. But sometimes, it inhibits people. Nowadays, people 'communicate' primarily though email, texting, or instant messaging (or just Facebook). While all of these have made communicating with people much easier, it should not mean that you are no longer able to talk to people face to face at all.
The next few times you are talking to people from various age groups, take note of it – you'll be surprised at how many people can't even make eye contact when they are speaking to people!
As the year 2009 quickly comes to an end, in ten short days, there have been articles everywhere online about "2009 in review" – just like there are every year. This year, however, i came across a new list – one that hasn't been so widely available in the past, and which i found quite interesting. I feel like it captures all the other sources and information all into one.
It's called "Top Twitter Trends of 2009".
In essence it's everything everyone was talking about and discussing throughout the year. It's what we, as a collective groups of people from across the world, found most important and worthy of attention.
Do you agree with this assessment? What would you rate to be the the 'top three' in each category? The ones you found most important. Did any one of the aforementioned surprise you? Or, are there any other you would have included?
i'll update as the day progresses if there is a significant difference.
Better than nothing, I suppose?
Every time i get excited about snow, there's always like ten people ready to tell me they hate snow because the only thing it means to them is that they have to shovel. Well how often does it even snow in our area? like once or twice, if that. Everyone has to rake the leaves in the fall every year ALL season long, and most people don't think that's a big deal. Snow, on the other hand, happens very infrequently… yet it's just seen as a big annoyance. Take the time to enjoy it people!
And for those people who complain they are stuck at home and can't do anything or get anywhere – how many times do we actually have excuses to do nothing and just relax at home? Most of the time, we're in "go" mode and are constantly worrying/thinking about what else we have to do. Snow days give us an opportunity to take a short break for the everyday stuff and rejuvenate… something that is MUCH needed for the most of us.
Like i say for mostly everything, it is what you make of the situation.
So far today, it has literally only snowed for like 5 minutes (around 8 or 9 AM), so i was of course disappointed with the lack of snow when i woke up, but we'll see if this 'blizzard' turns into anything. It has definitely snowed a lot in other parts of the east coast, and even in a lot of places in New Jersey… just not in our area. Oh, well.
It FINALLY snowed today for the first time this season! When i read in the newspaper a couple of days ago about the forecast for snow for today, i'll admit i got super excited for it – but i didn't really think it would end up snowing… or that if it did, it wouldn't snow a lot and definitely not stick (considering it was almost seventy degrees two days ago).
the rain this morning, however, quickly turned into wet snow… and then snow that stuck… so we have a nice blanket of snow outside! I LOVE snow as it is falling and the blanket of white snow on the ground, until it starts getting dirty. it was only an inch or two of snow, but it was great nonetheless. I hate the cold temperature that comes with the snow, but LOVE snow – i guess because i grew up in Canada (actually i don't know about that reasoning since the rest of my family is not so fond of snow).
On a different note, this coming week is my last week of classes – just days more days of classes! I also have two of my exams on thursday, and i will be done with exams and all on december 21st. As the semester draws closer to an end and the fact that i had my senior photos yesterday, the realization that i have only one semester left at Rutgers as an undergraduate is finally hitting me. I can't believe how fast the past three and a half years have gone by, and i'm sure my last semester will go by just as fast.
Ttoday was also the last rutgers football game of the regular season ( the bowl game happens in a few weeks). i didn't get to go to today's game even though it was a home game, but it was a great game. it would have definitely been nice to have gone, considering it was my last game as a student, but oh well. it may be just as well considering the weather and the temperature – risking getting sick right before finals would not have been too great. anyhow, we played against west virginia university (who has beat us every year since 1994, unfortunately). we didn't win, but the game was close with the final score being WVU – 24, RU – 21.
Normally, I do not take the time to write about an athlete and his (wrong)doings… but for a week now, all i keep hearing about are the million variations in the story and it's driving me crazy.
first i hear that Tiger Woods has been involved in a "serious" car accident (near/outside his home).
then i hear that Tiger Woods' wife used golf clubs to break the rear windows of Tiger's car to get him out of the car after the car accident.
then i hear that Elin (Tiger Wood's wife) was actually hitting Tiger's car (aiming for Tiger) with the golf clubs after the two had been fighting about Tiger's possible infidelity- and was not trying to get Tiger our of the car after his accident as earlier reported. news surface of Tiger's affairs with two other females.
at this point, Tiger has refused to speak to the police i think like three times. Suspicious? sure.
more rumors continue to spread.
then, five days later, today – Tiger Woods issues another statement saying he has let his family down, and regrets the "transgressions" among other things, but does not admit to an affair or offer any other information.
Let me get this out – i do not think athletes/celebrities/politics, etc. owe us (the public) anything about their private lives. If Tiger Woods had done something in his athletic field or something that would directly effect athletics (like steroids), by all i means i would be pressing for more information or an explanation. However, it is not.
Famous or not, your actions have consequences for not only you, but for your family members too unfortunately. While it saddens me that yet another person has not only let their own family down but embarrassed them publicly, i still do not think it is the right of the media nor anyone else to press on this matter for the sake of his family.
If Tiger Woods is indeed guilty of what is claimed, you can not honestly tell me that Tiger did not know he would be caught. Politicians, athletes, celebrities are hounded every minute and every thing they do is released to the public (from what they are wearing and eating to anything extraordinary), so it was only a matter of time before such news would come out. nonetheless, it is hard to fathom why people do the things they do. I'm sure this is what Woods will be remembered for (unless he does something worse in the future), so i don't understand why he would risk all of his success.
And another point, I don't know why he denied the claim/lied (only to later confirm it). Like we weren't going to find out ? Come on people, in this day and age of technology, we find out things the instant it happens in so many cases…. so lying is only making it that much worse. Like i said, they owe us nothing… and they don't have to say anything or release statements to the public, but lying to the public on their free will… is ridiculous.
The bottom line is – What politicians, athletes, celebrities, etc. do in their private sphere should be their own business. Until it effects or comes into their public sphere, it should be left alone. And no, i am not naive – i don't think this will ever happen… but it is wishful thinking.
I do not know the complete truth of what Tiger did or did not do, but i'm sure i'll find out soon – simply by opening a newspaper or reading the news online. Why such things are "breaking news", i will never understand.

Verbal Advantage - Level 04 » Word 11 - Word 20
Word 11: Panacea [PAN-uh-SEE-uh]
A cure-all, universal antidote, remedy for all diseases and difficulties.
Panacea comes from the Greek pan-, all, and akos, cure, and today retains its literal meaning, cure-all. From the same Greek pan-, all, comes the English prefix pan-, which appears in front of a number of English words: a panorama (PAN-uh-RAM-uh) is literally a view all around; pantheism (PAN-thee-iz-'m), from the Greek theos, god, is the belief that all things are God, that God is universal; and a pantheon (PAN-thee-un or -on) is a temple dedicated to all the gods, or all the gods worshiped by a given people. In current usage pantheon may also mean any group of highly respected or revered persons. When novelist Toni Morrison won a Nobel Prize in 1993, she earned a place beside such esteemed writers as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, and Mark Twain in the pantheon of American literature.
You have probably heard the common phrase "a panacea for all ills." The expression is redundant, because panacea by itself means a cure for all ills, a universal remedy. You may use panacea to mean either a cure-all for physical ailments or an antidote for worldly woes: "His lawyer emphasized that filing for bankruptcy would not be a panacea for his financial troubles."
Word 12: Ephemeral [i-FEM-uh-rul]
Short-lived, passing, fleeting, lasting for a short time.
(By the way, did you remember that short-lived should rhyme with strived? If you've forgotten why this pronunciation is preferred, see transient, word 31 of Level 2.)
Ephemeral comes from a Greek word meaning daily, lasting or living only for a day. Ephemeral is sometimes used in this literal sense, as in the phrase "ephemeral literature," publications that come out every day, such as newspapers. Ephemeral literature is opposed to periodical literature, which refers to anything published periodically—weekly, monthly, and so on. In fact, the familiar word journalism by derivation means ephemeral literature, writing that pertains to the events of the day. Journalism and journal come from the French jour, day, as in the restaurant menu item soup du jour, soup of the day. Thus the common expression "daily journal" is redundant, for by derivation journal means something written or published each day.
Today ephemeral is most often used in a general sense to mean conspicuously brief in duration. Ephemeral ideas are popular for only a brief while; the jokes of late-night TV comedians are ephemeral, here today and gone tomorrow; an ephemeral trend in the economy or in fashion is one that passes swiftly away.
More difficult synonyms of ephemeral include transitory (word 4 of Level 5), evanescent, fugitive, and fugacious (word 24 of Level 9). For more on these words, review the discussion of transient, word 31 of Level 2.
Word 13: Onerous [AHN-ur-us, like honor us]
Burdensome, troublesome, oppressive, hard to bear, difficult to accomplish or endure: an onerous task, an onerous assignment.
Onerous comes from the Latin onus, a load, burden. Directly from the Latin comes the English word onus (OH-nus), a burden, obligation, especially a disagreeable responsibility. Onerous means like an onus, and therefore burdensome, troublesome, difficult to accomplish or endure.
Word 14: Laity [LAY-i-tee]
Nonprofessionals, laypeople collectively, all the people outside of a given profession or specialized field.
The adjective lay means nonprofessional, not belonging to a particular profession. A lay opinion of a legal case is an opinion from someone who is not a lawyer or a judge. A lay diagnosis of a disease is a diagnosis proffered by someone who is not a medical professional.
In its original and most precise sense, laity refers to all who do not belong to the clergy, to religious worshipers in general. Today laity may be used either in this way or to mean those who do not belong to a given profession.
Word 15: Pungent [PUN-jint]
Sharp, penetrating, biting, acrid, caustic.
Pungent comes from the same Latin source as poignant (POYNyint) and expunge—the Latin pungere, to pierce, prick. Pungent may refer to a literal piercing, to that which is sharp to the sense of taste or smell, or it may refer to a figurative piercing, to that which penetrates the mind or emotions.
A pungent sauce is sharp to the taste, perhaps spicy, sour, or bitter. A pungent critique or pungent humor is sharp and sometimes bitterly worded; it penetrates the mind or pierces the emotions in a direct and often painful way.
Word 16: Prosaic [proh-ZAY-ik]
Dull, ordinary, uninteresting, unimaginative.
Synonyms of prosaic include commonplace, humdrum, tedious, dry, stale, mediocre, and matter-of-fact. And those are only the prosaic synonyms of prosaic. More difficult and interesting synonyms include insipid, which means tasteless, bland; pedestrian; vapid (rhymes with rapid), word 37 of Level 8; and jejune (jiJOON), word 1 of Level 10.
Prosaic may be used literally to mean consisting of prose or of the nature of prose, as opposed to poetry. Because poetry is considered lovely and lyrical and prose is considered uninteresting and unimaginative, prosaic has come to be used figuratively to mean dull and ordinary. Today prosaic is most often used in this figurative sense. A prosaic performance is mediocre; a prosaic style is dry and stale; a prosaic explanation is humdrum, tedious, or matter- of-fact.
Word 17: Charlatan [SHAHR-luh-tin]
A fake, quack, imposter, fraud, humbug; specifically, a person who pretends to have a special skill or knowledge.
The words charlatan and mountebank are close in meaning and were once synonymous. Mountebank (like mount a bank) comes from the Italian montambanco, one who gets up on a bench. By derivation a mountebank is a person who mounts a bench or platform and delivers a flamboyant sales pitch to attract customers and hawk his wares. In its earliest sense, a charlatan was a huckster who made elaborate and fraudulent claims about his merchandise. In olden days, charlatans and mountebanks would travel about selling trinkets, relics, and panaceas; they were the proverbial snake-oil salesmen.
Since the early nineteenth century, however, charlatan has been used to mean a fake or a quack, someone who pretends to have a special skill or knowledge and who covers up the fraud with an elaborate and sometimes intimidating verbal display. In The Wizard of Oz, the Wizard is a classic example of a charlatan.
Today charlatans and mountebanks continue to thrive not only at carnivals and on the street corner but in the office and the boardroom as well. They're the ones who are always giving you the glad hand and handing you a line. The difference between them is that the mountebank makes an impressive verbal display in an attempt to sell you a bill of goods, while the charlatan makes an impressive verbal display to hide the fact that he doesn't have the skill or knowledge he claims to possess.
Word 18: Perfunctory [pur-FUHNGK-tur-ee]
Mechanical, routine, listless, done merely as a duty, performed in an indifferent, halfhearted, superficial, and often careless way, without interest or enthusiasm.
Perfunctory comes from a Latin verb meaning to get through, be done with. The perfunctory worker is just trying to get through doing the job; the perfunctory teacher just wants to be done with the lesson; a perfunctory speech is mechanical, routine, delivered in a halfhearted, listless manner.
Word 19: Morass [muh-RAS, rhymes with alas]
Literally, a swamp, marsh, bog; figuratively, something that traps, confines, or confuses, a sticky situation or troublesome state of affairs: "There was always a morass of paperwork on his desk"; "She penetrated the morass of red tape at city hall"; "Some people consider middle age the morass of life"; "The project got bogged down in a morass of trivial details."
Word 20: Sophistry [SAHF-i-stree]
Deceptive reasoning, subtle and misleading argument: "Voters today want candidates who address the issues, not ones who engage in mudslinging and sophistry."
Sophistry comes ultimately from the Greek sophos, clever, wise, the source also of the word sophisticated. The corresponding adjective is sophistic (suh-FIS-tik) or sophistical (suh-FIS-ti-kul).
In ancient Greece, the Sophists (SAHF-ists) were teachers of rhetoric, politics, and philosophy who were notorious for their deceptive and oversubtle method of argumentation. The Sophists eventually came into contempt for accepting payment for their instruction. The word sophistry retains the stigma imputed to the clever Sophists so long ago. Today sophistry refers to speech or writing that is clever and plausible but marred by false or deceptive reasoning.
Let's review the ten keywords you've just learned. Consider the following statements and decide whether each one is true or false.
There is no such thing as a panacea for the world's troubles.
An ephemeral comment lingers in your mind.
An onerous job is interesting and enjoyable.
To a doctor, lawyers and engineers are members of the laity.
Pungent food is mild and bland.
A prosaic story is original and lively.
A charlatan is capable, sincere, and reliable.
When an employee's work is perfunctory, it's outstanding.
When you're in a morass, you are swamped, stuck, or confused.
A speaker who is adept at sophistry may be a charlatan.
True. A panacea is a cure-all, universal antidote, remedy for all diseases and difficulties.
False. Ephemeral means short-lived, passing, fleeting, lasting for a short time.
False. Onerous means burdensome, troublesome, oppressive, hard to bear, difficult to accomplish or endure.
True. Laity means all the people outside of a given profession or specialized field, nonprofessionals.
False. Pungent means sharp, penetrating, biting, acrid.
False. Prosaic means dull, ordinary, uninteresting, unimaginative.
False. A charlatan is a fake, quack, imposter, fraud, a person who pretends to have a special skill or knowledge.
False. Perfunctory means mechanical, routine, listless; done without interest or enthusiasm; performed in an indifferent, halfhearted, superficial, and often careless way.
True. Literally, a morass is a swamp, marsh, bog; figuratively, a morass is something that traps, confines, or confuses, a sticky situation or troublesome state of affairs.
True. Sophistry is deceptive reasoning, subtle and misleading argument.

Newport News, VA – Riverside Health System is pleased to announce that two of its nurses were recognized by the Virginia Nurses Association (VNA) in an annual awards series spotlighting 40 exceptional rising nursing leaders under age 40. Jessica Gourley, RN, of Riverside Regional Medical Center, received top honors by making the VNA's 2018 "40 Under 40" awards list, while Riverside's Mary Haigh, RN received an honorable mention.
The 40 Under 40 award winners were selected from a record number of nominees of Virginia's outstanding young nurse leaders and were based on their achievements in professional practice, leadership, and positive promotion and advancement of the nursing profession beyond the practice setting.
"A well-respected nursing leader that has worked above and beyond her years in nursing to establish a culture of excellence and quality," a Nurse Manager for Riverside Regional Medical Center's Emergency Department wrote in her nomination for Gourley.
Gourley successfully implemented multiple positive action plans that boosted teamwork, patient safety and community involvement.
As part of one recent safety initiative, Gourley ordered yellow blankets to be given to patients designated as a high fall risk. This tactic, combined with a unique "banana bucks" team incentive program Gourley implemented to reward fall risk precautions and drive focus on patient safety, led to a 46 percent reduction in patient falls year over year.
In another initiative, Gourley implemented a plan to further boost efficiency and accuracy around point-of-care testing. The successful endeavor not only enhanced patient safety and satisfaction, it ultimately ended up saving the health system an estimated $24,000-$48,000 annually.
In addition to her passion for patient safety and quality, Gourley also works to promote community involvement and preparedness, engaging organizations such as the Boy Scouts to provide valuable education on responding to emergency situations.
Haigh's extensive emergency services background includes 11 years of EMS experience, and she continues to volunteer at least weekly for the Isle of Wight Volunteer Rescue Squad, where she earned the 2017 ALS Provider of the Year Award for her dedication, clinical expertise and leadership.
As the Emergency Department Nursing Educator, Haigh recently completed a total revision of the new graduate RN nursing orientation program, implementing an 18 to 20-week orientation which includes three to four weeks of RN Educator-driven intensive single patient-precepting, a week-long ED new graduate class that includes classroom and practical sessions and six shadow experiences.
Haigh has proven instrumental in her role addressing various compliance issues, having raised new-hire education compliance from 55 to 96 percent within her first year. With her EMS background and acute care clinical expertise, Haigh has proven to be a key member of Riverside's nursing leadership team.
Gourley, Haigh and other award recipients will be recognized at the annual Virginia Nurses Foundation Gala on Sept. 22, 2018 at the Hilton Richmond Hotel & Spa Short Pump in Richmond, Virginia.

Q: Django template variable conditionals don't evaluate properly? This makes no apparent sense to me.  As you can see in the code below, I am pulling customer subscription data from various page context objects in django. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the variables work, and (unless django template variable values are type casted?) the values do in fact match.
Based on the if condition, the customer (user object)'s existing subscription should be classed "active" when the page loads, but it isn't?

    {% for product in products %}
    request.user.is_paysubscribed = {{ request.user.is_paysubscribed }}

    product.metadata.tier = {{ product.metadata.tier }}

     {% for price in product.plan_set.all %}

redacted product name

{{ price.human_readable_price }}

{{ product.description }}

    {% endfor %}

  {% endfor %}

A: tl;dr: the values are type casted.  In my case user.is_paysubscribed is an int field in the database, and product.metadata.tier is just extra fluff added to a Stripe product's freeform fields, so is (probably) returned as a string.
Found the solution to cast them both as ints in this reply to a similar question:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/36808765/7488096
the |(math):value filters in django re-cast the value as an int.
so, |add:"0" makes them both ints and the comparison then works.

This is the story of Little Pea, Mama Pea, and Papa Pea.
Little Pea was a happy little guy. He liked to do a lot of things.
He liked rolling down hills, for example, super fast.
He liked hanging out with his pea pals.
He liked it when Papa Pea came home at the end of the day.
At bedtime Little Pea very much liked snuggling with Mama Pea, and hearing stories about what Mama Pea was like when she was a little pea.
That's what you have to eat for dinner every night when you're a pea. Candy. Candy. Candy.
Thursday: Purple and pink polka-dotted candy.
Little Pea hated all of it.
"If you want to grow up to be a big, strong pea, you have to eat your candy," Papa Pea would say.
"If you don't finish your candy then you can't have dessert," Mama Pea would say.
"Yes. Now you can have dessert," said Mama Pea and Papa Pea.
Little Pea couldn't wait to see what it was.
Little Pea licked his dessert plate clean.
And they lived hap-pea-ly ever after.
With gratitude to the original pea pals: Andy, Tyler, Lincoln, Boone, Jacqueline, and Renee.
And to the little girl who asked me to please make up a naptime story, this book is dedicated to you, Paris Anne.—A. K. R.

Sukzessive Mittäterschaft (von lateinisch succedere: nachrücken, nachfolgen) bedeutet, dass die Mittäter ihr erforderliches Einvernehmen nicht nur ausdrücklich, sondern auch stillschweigend (konkludent) und auch noch während der Tatausführung herstellen können. Folge der sukzessiven Mittäterschaft ist, dass dem Eintretenden das bisher Geschehene nach  Abs. 2 StGB zugerechnet wird.

Beispiel: A entwendet in einem Kaufhaus einen MP3-Player und eine kleine Fotokamera. Er hat sie schon in seiner Jackentasche verstaut. Dabei wird er vom Kaufhausdetektiv B beobachtet. A zeigt erst auf den MP3-Player und dann auf B. B nickt und hilft A, die Geräte an der Kasse vorbei zu schmuggeln. B handelt als Mittäter.

Umstritten ist, bis in welches Deliktsstadium eine sukzessive Mittäterschaft möglich ist. Nach der in Teilen der Literatur vertretenen Tatherrschaftslehre sei dies nur bis zur tatbestandlichen Vollendung möglich. Nach der Vollendung könne das Geschehen nicht mehr "in Händen gehalten" werden. Der Bundesgerichtshof vertritt hingegen vor dem Hintergrund der von ihm vertretenen subjektiven Theorie die Meinung, eine solche Mittäterschaft sei sogar noch bis zur (materiellen) Beendigung der Tat denkbar.
