We know that you have high expectations, and we enjoy the challenge of meeting and exceeding them! Please don't hesitate to give us a call.


My first objective is to share the love of God and model what He teaches through His Son, Jesus Christ. Through this foundation, I will teach my students to develop academically, socially and emotionally. I will educate my students to create new ideas, work together, grow through failure, overcome challenges, speak publicly, show effort in their work, and strive to do the best to their abilities.
My mission as a Social Studies and Physical Education teacher, along with coach and athletic director is to teach Christ as our Savior. I have dedicated my life to God and to serving children he has placed in my care. I strive to educate children by showing love, working hard, and building relationships, so my students seek to be life-long learners.
First, to have the opportunity to teach faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Second, I have a passion for helping children and teaching them how fantastic learning is! Third, I absolutely love history. It teaches us so much and. through it, can give us a guide into the future. Last, I enjoy incorporating technology into the classroom!
Chicago sports (especially the Cubs), learning about History, traveling to historic locations, eating pizza, and celebrating Christmas!
From the very young to the almost graduating, technology classes find us mastering mouse control; developing keyboarding skills; setting formulas in spreadsheets; assembling presentations; focusing on page layout design; studying tags and HTML coding; creating original animations; engaging in multi-media production; training in programming; constructing mechanisms with VEX kits; modeling in 3D; designing apps; and solving real world problems with robotics.
In seventh grade religion, we complete two service projects determined by the students. In sixth grade math, we have a "Hometown Bakery" where students form bakeries based on economic principles and actually bake the goods and sell them with play money.Seventh grade math will create an air structure by using plastic sheeting, fans, geometric skills, and a lot of duct tape! Eighth grade algebra will participate in the Stock Market Game with $100,000 virtual funds.
All science classes participate in at least one lab per chapter. Sixth grade students will learn the difference between sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock by making a model, growing rock candy crystals, and heating and smashing Rice Krispie treats, respectively. There are many dissections in seventh grade science -- frogs, sheep eyes, and so on. One of the favorites is a Crime Scene Investigation in eighth grade that includes fingerprinting, blood typing, chromatography, and more.
If you can see it and touch it, you can learn it!
My mission as your child's teacher is to provide a Christ-centered education that will prepare them to become lifelong learners.
Junior High literature is packed full of awesome novels from "Hatchet" to "To Kill A Mockingbird." We dig into poetry and drama as well, finishing our eighth-grade year with a drama production. In English we spend a great deal of time learning to write. We look at correct sentence structure, the fundamentals of grammar, revising and so much more.
To be an example of Christ's love. To encourage and foster growth in students' faith lives. To provide a safe, cooperative environment where students can academically flourish and develop into life long learners, productive citizens, and confident servers of God.
I was called by the Holy Spirit.

Today we remember Jorge Luis Borges who wrote the Book of Sand, which inspired us to create our name WONDR.
Born on the 24th August 1899 in Argentina, Jorge Luis Borges was an iconic and unique thinker who created magical stories in his writing. Borges had a strong connection with Ireland formed through his passion and interest in famous Irish writers like Oscar Wilde & James Joyce.
Many stories have been written about his links to our nation, including an article by Newstalk who noted as a result of this affection for the country and its authors, his works are littered with Irish references. In his short story 'The Shape of the Sword', the protagonist is from Dungarvan, while in 'An Examination of the Works of Herbert Quain', the story opens with a line that states that Quain recently died in Roscommon. Similarly, the story 'The Theme of the Traitor and the Hero' also takes place in Ireland, set in 1824.
We took inspiration for our name from his short tale 'UNDR' in the Book of Sand. UNDR we took to mean wonderment which we shortened to WONDR.
We took inspiration for our name from his short tale 'UNDR' in the Book of Sand. UNDR we took to mean wonderment which we shortened to WONDR.
When we had our first premises we converted a shop into our creative hub and had a display window facing the main street which contained pictures of the man. Often we would get travellers, particularly Argentinian & South Americans, who would stop by to ask about the story how a picture of Jorge came to find its way there. We were more than happy to tell them.
When you visit our Practice on Wicklow St you are going to see constant reference to the UNDR story and 'The Mirror and the Mask' also from the book of Sand. Each room in our building takes its names from the stories. For example, our main creative studio is called Olan. Skald is our second studio. Uppsalla is where we meet to converse and eat. You get the picture.
Our main boardroom is named, Borges, after the man himself where you'll find the portrait from our old shop window but also a portrait of him as a young man.
This picture of Jorge at the age of 21, captures a young man who had the clarity to define a vision and forge a brave path that led him to inspire many generations of writers and creatives like ourselves.
We thank Jorge Luis Borges for showing us the way.
To celebrate his writings our Brand & Strategy Director, Oisin, created a series of short videos to capture the mood, landscapes & visions painted in Jorge's words. One day we plan to make this into a much richer experience to bring these stories to life in a new digital journey.

Q: android tcp ip based screen copy forward to udp address Currently, I'm using  android screen copy to get phone image down on mobile raspberry pi for sending over the local ethernet.  The goal is to process the phone image from a local server PC with a powerful GPU.
My pipeline is : Android -> (wireless) Raspberry PI (ethernet) -> ground host server PC(in far away server room)
The result  on the  Raspberry PI is sth like this

Im using the following command on the   Raspberry PI  to connect to the android.
adb tcpip 5555
adb connect 192.168.1.19:5555
scrcpy

I need to forward the data to server-based image processing to process the data in real-time.
Question
(1) how do I get the video in scrcpy tcpip then port forward to an UDP address such as  udp://192.168.5.10:23003. I tried to change tcpip to udp. it doesnt work. The idea is minimize the processing on the RPI.
Noted I can not encode using  Raspberry PI  ffmepg because of the slow processing lag. Only forward the data steam is possible
(2) How to do thing such as "I just a click of app"  to auto start the whole streaming process
I deal with computer vision algorithm a lot, this android + network configuration is a bit confusing, hope I made myself clear on the intention.

We Are Brompton | Louisa Holbrook
We are creators. Everyone at Brompton plays a small part in making our bikes and getting them into the hands of people to ride, find their route and enjoy.
From first sketches through to capturing the finished article, it's the people behind the product that make us different.
We are Brompton.
Making our cities a happier, healthier place to live with our bikes is one job, but making sure we're minimizing our impact on the environment while we do it is another. We sat down for a chat with Louisa Holbrook, Head of Sustainability, who joined Brompton in March 2020.
What does being Head of Sustainability entail?
It's a new role here at Brompton. And in terms of what it covers, I'm responsible for developing and then supporting the delivery of Brompton's sustainability strategy.
What lead you to want to work in sustainability?
I've always been fascinated by nature and the environment, so after I finished my Master's in Geography, I knew I wanted a job that was in the environmental space.
I didn't know that sustainability, especially in the corporate sector, existed and basically fell into my first job. And now I've had 11 years of working in corporate sustainability across numerous industries and just absolutely love it!
You're the first person to have the role of Head of Sustainability at Brompton, how was it like coming into the business and deciding what needed to be done first?
It was exciting! It can feel overwhelming when you step into a business and say, where do we start, but Brompton already had a great base to work from.
I've spent the last year getting to know the business. Not just how we operate or where we operate, but also the people, their jobs, what they do and what change they would like to see. From this we've mapped our environmental and social impacts. Both our direct impacts and our indirect impacts. We used tools, such as Life Cycle Assessments, to help complete this.
Once you've laid it all out, and you can see where your impacts on the world are, you can start putting together a plan. You ask, "Okay, well, what are the systemic challenges?", "where do we have influence to create change", "where can we do things better?", "Where are our opportunities to really be innovators" and "how can we transition towards a circular economy". It a journey, but one I'm really excited to be on.
What, in your opinion, sets Brompton apart from other businesses you've worked for?
Well, this is my first company working with bikes. But apart from that, Brompton has a really unique purpose and drive, it is growing as a company, but it still maintains that small company ethos where everyone knows everyone. There is a space to learn and to grow and to collaborate. So, yes, a really exciting space, I think, to explore sustainability.
What's been the most exciting project you've worked on since you joined Brompton? And what is your proudest accomplishment?
This is a difficult one. Brompton has delivered some amazing projects this year, be that the Wheels for Heroes campaign, helping the NHS get moving on bikes through the pandemic, or even the more recent collaboration with FREITAG, which created recycled Brompton bags from truck tarp.
And then in terms of what I've been the most proud of in the last year... my job, in essence, is to empower individuals within the company to bring sustainability into their role. So when we talk about Earth Day.
"Every day is Earth Day for me, and my job is to make every day Earth Day for everybody else. It's about giving people the tools and the confidence to be able to look at the job they do and say, how can I do that differently? Or, what questions can I be asking?"
So, my proudest moments have actually been when people have started to ask those questions; they've come to me and said, "OK, I need to deliver X project, but I'm thinking about how I could do things differently to have a more positive impact", which is fantastic. I've overheard people in meetings talking about sustainability independently, and people have approached me on the factory floor and said, "hey, I thought we could do this to be more sustainable".
So my proudest moments have been through that cultural change that we're starting to see, and the confidence growing in people to really embed sustainability this into their activities and roles.
What do you think a business needs to be doing in order to call themselves sustainable?
It's a hard question. We have to take a moment to acknowledge that we're not only in a climate emergency, but we're in a biodiversity emergency, a global pandemic and there are still huge issues out there, such as access to water, access to medicine, poverty, and even access to freedom to name but a few…
The world is a challenging space and it's no longer acceptable for businesses to just do "less bad". They need to do more than adapting to climate change or relying on mitigation. Businesses need to honestly look at their business models, look at their impacts and ensure they operate in a way which is regenerative, restoring the planet for future generations and that needs to happen today. They need to truly balance people, planet, and profit. That's not easy and even the business I admire are, like Brompton, on a journey… trying to understand how things can be done better.
What, if any, tips do you have to someone else who wants to work in sustainability?
I have two tips, really. First, if you are already in a role which can influence change, you are already in the best role for sustainability.
Find out what impact you create in your role. Maybe its designing products, or buying materials, or speaking to customers, or manufacturing products, and think about what changes you can make to be more sustainable… however small… This is how you really create change.
And then second to that, for those who really do want to have a career change or are just starting and want to work in sustainability... For me, it's just about getting out there and starting learning. You learn so much on the job.
"Ultimately, I always say that my job is to not have a job. My job shouldn't exist in the future."
Sustainability should be part of everybody's role. It should be ingrained into culture and therefore a Head of Sustainability shouldn't exist. I'm almost in business to do myself out of business!
Throughout your career so far, do you feel as though there has been a shift in consumer expectations for transparency and sustainability?
Oh, hugely.. And there's so much that contributes to this. There is more access to information now, so the consumer is so much more informed.
But I also think the links between consumers and companies have shortened. Maybe that's due to social media, there's a easier ways to reach out and to expect a direct response back.
I actually want consumers to ask more questions. Working in the roles I have for 10 plus years, I know that it helps the agenda when customers come forward and ask these questions. It gives the leverage to say "Hey customers want it. Let's deliver on it".
There are so many different roles within the business, requiring a range of skills and characteristics. Is there anyone you'd switch roles with for the day?
This is hard. I think I would have two options here and I would need their skill set to do this... I love research, and there are a couple of roles in the business which are looking at future materials and future products within our design teams, I think that would be a really interesting role to take on.
And then again, if I'm allowed their skill set, I would love to try a creative job. So maybe something within the marketing team, would be really fun to do.
Has there ever been a time where work life and home life have crossed paths?
My work life and home life have always crossed paths due to the nature of what I do. I don't leave sustainability at work, it's part of my life as well.
I try and learn about my own lifestyle choices and their impacts and learn what I can do better - and by no means am I perfect!! But it's a journey and I'm always looking at the companies that I engage with to learn more about what they are doing.
So yeah, there's definitely a crossover. As a keen cyclist I'm also often on two wheels and my Brommie is not just used for commuting to work but also exploring!
Relaxing and unwinding is always important. How do you like to spend your time outside of work?
I've always been into my sports, and I love triathlons, so I spend a lot of time running, cycling, swimming, I love open water swimming and find this peaceful and relaxing. Anything that gets me outdoors is great!
It takes the hard work of every single Brompton staff member to take our little folding bikes from the first sketch to shipping them out the door. Read more about our incredible team here.

Our 15 Favorite Artists From This Year's Hybrid Frieze Art Fair
In my ideal, art-through-a-design-lens, pandemic-less world, Frieze — and other fairs like it — would show a more equitable mix of two- and three-dimensional works, the artists themselves would be on-hand to speak about their process, and we would all be taking a gloriously sunny ferry to Randall's Island instead of hanging out in the shadow of a failed mall in Hudson Yards. That said, there was plenty to like about this year's fair.
Our Favorite Finds From the First-Ever Virtual Frieze Art Fair
For those in the art world, the loss of a physical Frieze means the loss of a key moment for discovery, commerce, and networking. But for those of us with no skin in the game, the virtual viewing room offers some very real benefits — like being able to browse, and read the backstory of, pieces we might have missed in the chaos of the fair, or being able to grab the exact images we want for this roundup.
Design, and Its Attendant Signs of Domestic Life, Ruled at the Spring Art Fairs
Design, and its attendant signs of domestic life, played an even more outsized role than normal at last week's art shows in New York. At many galleries, it seemed that the booth furniture might drown out the works themselves, as with the ombré pieces on view at Peres Projects, or the erstwhile neon pink RO/LU benches at Parker Gallery. The best booth of the week by far, though, was by the London-based gallery Lyndsey Ingram, who handed over its design and curation to Georgie Hopton. Hopton in turn tapped her husband Gary Hume to share the joint booth, then kitted it out like a real home, complete with ruffled baseboards anchoring each color-blocked wall.
The Best Things We Saw at NADA, The Armory, and Independent
Design is ingrained in us so deeply, it even affects our taste in art; at this week's art fairs in New York, we were consistently drawn to things like plywood sculptures, powder-coated metal wall hangings, antiquity-inspired ceramics, degradé textile panels, the fact that fave artist Mattea Perrotta TURNED A PAINTING INTO A RUG, and, of course, Katie Stout lamps — i.e. things that wouldn't be totally out of place at a design show.
30 Artists and Galleries We Loved During New York Art Week 2017
We can't quite put our finger on what it was that made this year's Armory Arts Week feel so fresh. Was it the new venues? After all, NADA moved from Basketball City to Skylight Clarkson North, while Spring/Break moved from the old Post Office to an ex-Condé Nast office at 4 Times Square. Was it the fresh blood — the fact that NADA was even there at all, after years of coinciding with May's Frieze Fair? Or maybe it was simply the weather — we made the rounds on a gorgeously sunny Thursday that made the views at Spring Studios' Independent fair even more glorious. Whatever the case, we found much to love
Week of March 7, 2016
A weekly Saturday recap to share with you our favorite links, discoveries, exhibitions, and more from the past seven days. This week: a color-blocked office interior, an automated ceramics extruder that makes a sculpture a day (but still has to wait for kiln time) and a lightning fast round-up of the art fairs last week in New York.
A weekly Saturday recap to share with you our favorite links, discoveries, exhibitions, and more from the past seven days. This week: A David Hockney library, a Gio Ponti flatware collection, a bracelet inspired by Mario Botta, and a brand new collection by two of the founding members of Memphis.
At London's Frieze Art Fair
Which furniture designs do discerning art dealers truly prefer? Not to sell, but to sit in? That was the age-old question that photographer Sanna Helena Berger set out to answer while traversing the aisles of last month's Frieze Art Fair. Her utterly unscientific answer? Four out of five discerning art dealers prefer Friso Kramer, or failing that, some variation on mid-century bentwood. Quelle surprise. A Swedish photographer based in London, Berger chose to hone in on the subject after her maiden voyage to Frieze — tagging along with a friend's art class — proved otherwise underwhelming. "The space itself is divided into cubicles, very much like an overcrowded office, except that everything is crisp, bright, and white and within the cubicles the office wear is of a higher standard," she explains. "Obviously I don't claim that there was no worthwhile art there, because there certainly was, but the environment, the space, and the curation were not for me." Instead of complaining, though, and jeopardizing her friend's happy experience, Berger pulled out her camera and devoted the rest of the day to documenting art-booth furniture. Then she decided to share the results with usThen she decided to share the results with us, in a behind-the-scenes exposé that will no doubt put a lot of curious minds at ease, once and for all.


Is your company knowledge at risk?
In a climate of mergers and acquisitions and the inevitable restructuring this brings, it's vitally important to safeguard your company's knowledge. Even if events such as these don't affect you, your company probably has long-serving employees about to retire. When they go, so does their decades of knowledge and experience which your company has been relying on. Does this sound familiar?
Most companies realise they need to manage their knowledge, but it's difficult to know where to start. We have developed the K-Map (Knowledge Map) process to provide a structured approach to knowledge management. Our process enables manufacturing companies to easily capture valuable knowledge and make it accessible to the people who need it.
The K-Map process involves two of our engineers spending time with the people involved in your manufacturing operations. We'll use our facilitation skills in a series of workshop sessions to transfer information to our specially designed software. The software is then mounted on your intranet to be accessed 24/7 by the people you choose. A typical K-Map process consists of an intensive week-long workshop session, followed by several follow-up sessions over a three month period.
Where there is an effect, the intersection between the process stage and the product attribute is highlighted on the matrix with a coloured button. The colour of the button denotes the strength of the interaction. This is called the Level 1 K-Map.
Behind each coloured button on the matrix is a Summary Level, which contains information about how and why the process stage affects the product attribute. We called this 'Level 2'.
If required, we can add a third level behind the Summary Level. This is called the Detail Level, and it is used to capture data to support the information in the Summary Level.
The completed software and database is mounted on a server or on your company's intranet, with appropriate password protection, so that it can be readily accessed and kept up to date.
This is a simplified description of a K-Map. In fact, that's a lot more to say about it. However, we'd rather explain the detail of the K-Map process to you in person, and we'll demonstrate the software and share case studies with you too.
Please drop us a line and we'll come to see you.
R&D and Knowledge Mapping: unnecessary costs or sensible forward planning?

Another Climate Change Concern: Forced Migration
By Alvin Powell, Harvard Staff Writer
Climate change is a "risk factor" for forced migration, like in the European refugee crisis, experts on health, migration, and disaster relief told a symposium Thursday, urging development of early warning systems and robust government responses to ease the effects of climate-related problems.
Jennifer Leaning, the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Professor of Health and Human Rights at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, said that, although controversial in the 1990s, the idea that climate change can play a role in sparking mass migrations like the those in the world today has become more widely accepted.
The extent of climate change's contribution to the 66 million people on the move globally remains imprecise, but several experts said it is nonetheless important to include it in analyses of why people emigrate, what happens to them during their journeys, and how that affects their health.
Ashish Jha, K.T. Li Professor of International Health and director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, described climate change's impact on migration as akin to the effects of smoking and heart disease. It's known that smoking is a risk factor for heart disease, but its contribution to any particular case compared with other factors, like diet, exercise, and heredity, is difficult to quantify. That doesn't prevent physicians from warning against cigarettes, however.
Scientists predict that climate change will not just warm the planet but also foster weather extremes, intensifying storms, and thereby making crop-killing droughts and flooding rains more common, heat waves hotter and longer, and sea levels high enough to threaten coastal dwellers, particularly during extreme tides such as those during hurricanes and other coastal storms.
Leaning, director of the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights, said that good governance is a major mitigating factor in climate shifts, though she also said even countries like the United States, that have both wealth and effective governments, are at risk for the most extreme storms, like hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. The torrential, enduring rains from Harvey, she said, overwhelmed even Houston's modern, effective governance, while Maria's impact on the Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, could lead to significant migration to the mainland.
Leaning cited media reports that indicated thousands of Puerto Ricans had escaped to the mainland before the storm and that Maria's destruction had so affected basic needs such as food, shelter, and employment that tens of thousands more — possibly even hundreds of thousands — could follow.
Unlike other parts of the world, where the mass migration of one ethnic group can cause competition for resources and foster ethnic tension, in this case, she said, the U.S. East Coast is wealthy and has an existing Puerto Rican population, so she didn't expect the influx to become a strain on the whole economic and governmental system.
Leaning made her comments during a keynote talk at a half-day symposium called "Climate Change, Migration and Health" and sponsored by the Harvard Global Health Institute. The event, held at the Radcliffe gymnasium, also featured panel discussions on the topic and remarks by Jha.
Leaning said that climate issues likely played a part in sparking the ongoing European refugee crisis, through a prolonged drought in northern Syria that devastated the agricultural livelihood of people there. Its effects were exacerbated by an inadequate government response that caused a million Syrians to migrate internally to cities where the majority population was ethnically different. Those cities, already stressed by the arrival of 1.5 million refugees from Iraq, were also the sites for rising unrest that led to Syria's civil war, which caused millions to flee the country.
Under current international law, Leaning said, those leaving their homelands for environmental reasons wouldn't be considered refugees, a legal status reserved for those driven out because of race, religion, nationality, or politics. The label also doesn't cover the many millions displaced from their homes who don't cross international borders, but who nonetheless need help.
Economic and organizational pressures stemming from the new arrivals can foster local unrest and even conflict. Warfare confined to a single country is particularly worrisome because it isn't regulated by international strictures and is more prone to atrocities such as ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and genocide, Leaning said.
"I won't go into the way in which the world is awash with wars, and awash with weapons, and awash with young people who don't have a sense of the future. We all know and understand this," Leaning said. "It's quite a direct link" to climate change. "It's not the only link, and it's not causal link, but there are associations between climate change, migration, entering alien spaces, conflict in those alien spaces, and then armed conflict.
"We're very much concerned with how you prevent these wars, which is why we're cycling back to climate change."
Early warning systems, Leaning said, can give governments and international actors a chance to intervene before a dispute turns hot. Famine early warning systems are most advanced, and others — such as identifying atrocities — are being developed.
Health care, human migration, and climate change are critical international concerns, Jha said. Health care constitutes a significant part of the U.S. economy. Migration has fed reactionary movements that, among other things, just led to election of far-right members to the German parliament for the first time since World War II. In addition, he said, the United States has just witnessed three major storms, each large enough to be historic in its own right, in line with climate predictions that they will become more frequent and intense.
"Climate change is already beginning to have an effect," Jha said. "By all measures, it's only going to get worse."
The panelists discussed care for migrants and the need for action, even amid continued uncertainty about what moves will prove most effective. Elizabeth Donger, a research associate at the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, said it's important to think hard about what happens to refugees when they arrive in their new homes. The practice of sending people to temporary camps is reflective of an expectation that their stay will also be temporary, which experience says is hardly always the case, Donger said.
Statistics show that the typical stay of a refugee is 26 years, which makes it important that host nations don't just warehouse them and instead provide education, job training, and work permits that allow them to become productive members of society.
Harvard Humanitarian Initiative Director Michael VanRooyen, professor of emergency medicine and of global health and population, and director of the Emergency Department at Brigham and Women's Hospital, said the impact of climate-related disasters will likely fall most heavily on the world's poorest nations, which lack the resources of countries like the United States to respond.
"We know there's a direct link between the impact of disasters and human vulnerability," VanRooyen said.
Though more study is needed to understand better the climate-related risks to health — whether through famine, war, or storms — VanRooyen warned that uncertainty is not an excuse for inaction. Centuries of experience, after all, have shown where disasters are most likely to hit.
"We work pretty closely with the Philippines, for example, and we know, predictably, the Philippines is going to be hammered by 25 major storms a year, and two or three of them will be epic in nature," VanRooyen said. "Just because we're uncertain doesn't mean we shouldn't act. Just because we can't quantify it doesn't mean it's not real."

"I founded The Mixtapers 5 years ago together with my homie Brothermartino, we enjoyed playing hip hop and modern funk live using analogue drum machines, bass, piano, and percussion. The Mixtapers is both a band and a production, it's a duo/trio production which extends into a quartet/quintet live band depending on the kind of album we're recording or live show we are doing.
Dudley dug our first EP and suggested to make a jam together with him and Georgia Anne, so we hit the studio and recorded the tracks in four days. They asked us to choose a couple of Georgia or Dudley's tracks so that we could record a live version of them, we chose his track "Flowers" and "Sunset" (which we eventually kept instrumental). The day before the recording we had a very nice long video skype with Georgia and Dudley where she asked us to record very long tracks, like in a John Coltrane suite, that suggestion inspired the whole band approach to this recording session.
We recorded "Flowers" in one live take (exactly as you can hear it)... in the middle of the song we re-harmonized the original chord progression (so we called that part "Bloom") and Georgia did some amazing choir on that. The whole song was so long we decided to split it into two different songs called "Flowers" and "Bloom", so that we could release two short edits and the extended original version.
The G&D album was recorded in quartet using analogue drum machines, bass, piano, keys, percussion, and dub sirens. On "Bloom" we used a rare and mystical Saharan percussion instrument from Morocco called "Krakebs" originally used in ancestral "Gnawa" music. It was a very unusual choice to do on a hip hop track, but it worked and Georgia loved it!
This work with G&D is very special to us"

"Dominican Republic deaths have Americans rethinking their vacations: "We don't want to be next"" – CBS News
After at least six U.S. tourists died under mysterious circumstances there in the last 12 months
After at least six U.S. tourists died under mysterious circumstances there in the last 12 months, Americans with plans to visit the Dominican Republic are reconsidering their vacations.
Wallace's family says he was in the Dominican Republic for his stepson's wedding.
We now know of at least five other Americans who have died in the Dominican Republic in the last year – most recently, Miranda Schaup-Werner and a couple from Maryland, Edward Holmes and Cynthia Day.
Preliminary autopsies released by Dominican authorities say they all had fluid in their lungs and respiratory failure.
The Dominican Republic is among the most popular travel destinations for U.S. tourists.
Dominican officials estimate around two million Americans visit the island each year, and they insist it's safe.
News of this latest death in the Dominican Republic came just after former Red Sox star David Ortiz was gunned down in his hometown of Santo Domingo.

RINOs Betray American Needs
PUBLISHED: 1:52 AM 18 Feb 2018
UPDATED: 9:09 PM 18 Feb 2018
RINOs Exposed, Senators Tell Trump To Forget Manufacturing Industry
5 Senators stepped up to tell him to forget American high-wage jobs.
by James Bishop
GOP Politics
Some United States Senators exposed their ant-American agenda in a meeting about trade with President Trump that was open to the media.
SIGN up for conservative daily post news alerts
Republican Senator Ron Johnson exposed himself in a meeting with the President and other representatives when he said, "…it makes no sense to me to try and bring back high labor content manufacturing America…"
Johnson made the claim that industries have not been able to hire enough people to work in American factories. The tight labor market Ron Johnson is opposed to is actually what drives wages up.
Johnson was not the only one against President Donald Trump getting tough on trade, Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA), and Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO), all spoke out against America first trade policies because some business rely on imports instead of using American products.
If American factories are having a hard time finding employees to fill their ranks, it is because they are not offering the right compensation that would compel the millions of Americans who have left the labor force to join back in.
President Trump brought this issue up and reminded Johnson that under the current system, companies are competing with the government for people, because the United States welfare system has allowed many Americans to make more in welfare than they would if they had gainful employment. And, the press was right there watching.
Manufacturers note that in order to stay competitive, they can only offer a certain level of compensation. The problem then becomes who are they competing with and how are they able to manufacture at such a reduced cost.
Companies based outside of the United States are pumping their products into our country and are able to sell them at a much lower rate for a multitude of reasons.
One reason foreign companies are able to have major success selling their products in the United States is the fact that they do not have to conform to the same regulations as companies based here in America.
While American companies are not allowed to simply pollute the air, rivers, and ground surrounding them, many foreign nations hold their production facilities to a much lower standard. This makes manufacturing costs in the United States higher than it would be abroad.
Another reason companies can achieve large margins of success in the United States is tariffs. India has a tariff of 50 percent on motorcycles the United States ships into their country, while we do not tax their motorcycles at all when they come shore-side.
This makes American products far more expensive in India and shrinks our market share. Because of this, and because production costs in India are much lower than in the United States, and because they pay no taxes on their motorcycles we import, they are able to unfairly gain market share in our country while eliminating United States competition in theirs.
Many of the countries that are importing products in the United States have much lower wages and standards of living. American auto manufacturers keeping production facilities in the United States are forced to pay Americans a living wage.
This drives companies like Dodge to build plants elsewhere and ship their products in, such as the RAM truck plant in Mexico they currently build pick-ups in for the American market. Mexicans in Mexico work for far less and Americans who are being forced to compete with these third world laborers.
The United States is engaged in several trade deals that are not beneficial to our country. These deals have decimated the manufacturing sector and contributed to the stagnation of wages which has taken place over the last five decades.
Our representatives should be looking to eliminate any trade imbalances that we have between our country and foreign nations in an effort to increase our competitiveness overseas. The United States should work to fix the lopsided tariff arrangements we have with other countries, but these men have other plans. Thankfully, the president sees right through them.
The price of goods will undoubtedly increase if Americans are buying products theta are made here instead of in China. The increased prices, however, will more than be offset by the increase in wages.
If products increase in price by five percent but wages increased 25 percent, the market will be in much better shape and the economy will be far more robust than its current state.
Moving toward these policies will also contribute greatly the United States' ability to sustain itself because we will no longer rely on other countries for products, raw and otherwise, to meet domestic market demands.
Fixing these main issues is of paramount importance if the United States is going to create jobs and resume our place as a manufacturing powerhouse.
Senators such as Johnson represent corporations whose core values are not in line with the interest of the country. And, President Trump just played them, exposing who they really support.

Yearly, more than 1 million people are diagnosed with cancer in the USA. It gets quite alarming to know that there exist more than 200 different cancer types.
This is a condition where the cells in any part of the body start to grow and reproduce without control, invading and destroying the surrounding healthy tissue and organs. The condition can spread sometimes to other areas of the body, and this process is known as metastasis.
Cancer is not just one disease. It is actually a complex group of diseases with many possible causes, including genetic factors, lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, diet, alcohol consumption and physical activity, certain types of infections, and environmental exposures to different types of chemicals and radiation.
Some cases of cancer can be entirely prevented by implementing some serious lifestyle and diet changes. For that reason we recommend you start consuming the following foods which possess anti-carcinogenic properties.
According to experts, planning on what you'll consume daily can assist you in avoiding the occurrence of this deadly disease. The American Cancer Society claims that each person should have at least 5 servings of vegetables and fruits a day in order to prevent obesity, one risk factor for cancer, and provide the body with antioxidants to fight off cancer.
In order to ward off any type of cancer, the following types of food should frequently find their place on your daily menu.
According to many studies, people who eat more garlic have less chances of developing cancer as oppose to those who don't eat this food. It has been shown that garlic is particularly helpful in prevention of stomach, esophagus, and colon cancer.
Tomatoes contain a potent antioxidant called lycopene, which according to experts is excellent at fighting cancer. Tomatoes are beneficial for all, but especially for men as the lycopene content has been shown to successfully ward off prostate cancer. You may be surprised, but you can use the lycopene benefits more by consuming processed tomatoes such as sauces.
Start eating lots of berries as these can greatly help you to prevent cancer development in your body. This is so because blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries, and other types of berries, are a rich source of powerful antioxidants that ward off cancer cells' development, and prevent their proliferation.
They are high in fiber and antioxidants which will help you fight colorectal cancer. Add wild rice, quinoa, barley, oats, brown rice, and buckwheat to your diet in order to preserve good health.
Cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and broccoli are all cruciferous vegetables. These vegetables contain compounds which can prevent cancer cells formation, and encourage their death.
You might love green tea already, but you will love it even more once you find out that it's one of the best cancer-fighting foods. It includes catechins – antioxidants which protect healthy cells from free radical damage. Free radicals are molecules which can cause development of cancer. Catechins are also included in black tea.
Add pinto beans, red kidney beans and other beans alike to your diet to help you prevent cancer. These legumes are an excellent source of plant protein and also supply the body with high amounts of antioxidants. In addition, beans are also a rich source of fiber, which helps reduce colorectal cancer risk.
The skin of red grapes includes abundance of resveratrol. A lot of scientific studies have proven that this antioxidant prevents development and spreading of cancer cells. Besides eating red grapes, you can also drink red wine and grape juice to take advantage of resveratrol's anti-cancer properties.
If you eat lots of berries you have the chance to prevent the development of cancer. This is due to the strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries (and other types of berries) are high in antioxidants which ward off cancer cells, preventing their proliferation.
Curcumin the potent compound in turmeric, is able to assist in reducing cancer risks. The American Society has discovered that it is able to reduce some types of tumors.


The next Silicon Valley won't be any of the current contenders, except Silicon Valley itself. | If technology creates wealth, luxury & abundance, how will we spend our time? | Algorithmic bias | Deeper dives into TV & marriage.
🔥 Technology has created more jobs than it destroyed in the past 140 years; and increased consumption of luxuries.
😇 Simply having an open network instead of a closed one is the best predictor of career success.
We spend about a third of our waking lives watching linear video. For the past decades the bulk of that has been on TV screens. The pressure on TV from new technologies has been around since the VCR and was certainly a huge concern what I was a strategist at the BBC in the 1990s. The jury is no longer out. The entire TV ecosystem has been under siege. Screens multiply and video platforms like YouTube and Facebook deliver a much wider range of video. Kids now view linear TV as a form of punishment (see issue 17 of AEV).
Now Facebook is staffing up in product & engineering teams in London to help persuade brand advertisers move wholesale from TV to Facebook.
The combination of collapsing ad revenue, declining subscription revenue, increased alternatives for consumers and a weaker political clout (politicians get social now; Google, Uber & Facebook have better lobbyists than old media) is a depressing cocktail for traditional TV businesses.
The result? Internet advertising has overhauled TV in many markets.
📺 Netflix helps US consumers from seeing 130 hours of advertising per year.
Record numbers of Americans are cutting cable TV subscriptions says the Financial Times. These two brilliant charts show the disruption of the US cable industry in action.
Of course, if you are an independent creator, the opportunity to create and build an audience is probably better than ever.
Ashley Madison this week (Read a good interview with the hackers, Impact Team.) Tinder and the dating apocalypse last. The summer heat has got everyone hot under the collar.
The reasonable heavy use of Ashley Madison (35m people, 60+ countries) reminds me of the boom of bit torrent for TV shows and movies 10 years ago. That torrent of torrents showed a strong latent demand for a particular set of product attributes (downloadable video) that the existing institutions (studios and networks) were not catering for.
Perhaps the real takeaway of the Ashley Madison hack is that it is an indicator of widespread latent demand for a new 'product line' in the 'marriage category'? That latent demand not being infidelity but rather a reframing of the norms of a marriage. That is the traditional model of marriage conferred survival advantages initially and then political / power advantages to complex culture structures (like clans or religions), and that as a species were pushing past those boundaries?
After all a survey of futurists overwhelmingly supported plural marriages.
A third of young Americans are not exclusively heterosexual, 3-4x higher than the 45+ cohort.
👠 As for Tinder, the last two hundred years have been filled with moral panics about women using technologies for libertine ends.
Also, chastity belts were a myth.
The film Women, Men & Children explores some of these issues. Worth watching.
💊 Modafinil does enhance cognitive performance after all. It is a long-held dirty secret of Silicon Valley.

In less than two months, voters across the country can begin to lead our nation out of the nightmare of the Trump administration. We would not be exaggerating to call the Nov. 6 election one of the most critical in generations.
New York voters took the first step in June by selecting November's congressional candidates. The next step is voting today in the primaries to ensure that we can then select the candidates most committed to moving our state forward and turning our nation around.
We are fortunate to have on the top of our New York State ticket an incumbent who has earned a check mark next to all the issues of importance to 1199 members. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has expanded quality, affordable health care for New Yorkers, and he has defended the Affordable Care Act. Next year, the minimum wage for New York City workers will rise to $15, and the state will have in place the nation's most comprehensive paid family leave policy.
The governor is a leader in the fight against climate change and for clean energy jobs. He champions a woman's right to choose and to control her person against sexual assault and harassment. He's on the front lines for immigrant rights and religious freedom. Under his leadership, New York was among the first states to pass marriage equality. New York is also the first state to provide free tuition at its public colleges.
He has passed the SAFE Act gun control law and drawn the anger of the president and the National Rifle Association for his support of tougher federal restrictions.
We are also proudly supporting New York City Public Advocate Letitia (Tish) James for state attorney general. A staunch friend of labor, James has also stood with 1199 in virtually all our major campaigns.
Cuomo and James can be counted on to defend New Yorkers against attempts by the White House and Congress to shred the social safety net, and transfer billions to corporations and the super-rich.
While we are working to ensure that we have the best leaders here in New York, we must also keep our focus on Washington. If Democrats capture the House of Representatives, the president would lose the protection of some of the same, spineless congressional committee heads that have allowed him to flout his responsibilities to the American people. In fact, some of the congressional committees would have the authority to subpoena documents, such as the president's tax returns.
Recent polls indicate that voters are ready to flip the House of Representatives. But polls don't vote, people do, and there are real obstacles that we must address. Under the guise of rooting out voter fraud, states have adopted various voter suppression measures that target voters of color, including purging voter rolls, instituting voter ID laws and reducing the number or closing polling places in poor communities and communities of color.
A heart-breaking example of voter suppression is the conviction of Crystal Mason, a Texas mother and grandmother sentenced to five years in prison in June for mistakenly voting while on probation after serving time for a felony. She was later sentenced to an additional 10 months for prison-release violations. Mason's conviction is a transparent attempt to suppress the Black vote.
According to The Sentencing Project, a criminal justice reform organization, an estimated 6.1 million Americans have been barred from voting because of felony disenfranchisement laws. States, not the federal government, determine those rights. In New York, for example, felons who have completed their sentence regain voting rights. Cuomo has said he will use an executive order to restore voting rights to include felons on parole.
Aug. 21, prisoners across the country, many of whom work for pennies an hour, went on strike. Among their demands is an end to felony disenfranchisement.
It's time to turn our nation around, and the only way to make that happen is to vote. Vote if you're disgusted by a presidential administration that will deny a scheduled pay increase to federal workers after cutting taxes on billionaires and the wealthy by $1.5 trillion. Vote if you believe students should not be saddled with $1.4 trillion of educational debt. Vote if you're grief stricken over immigrant children who might never be held by their parents again. Vote if you're sickened by the Hurricane Maria deaths of nearly 3,000 of our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico.
There is much to do to right these many wrongs. We can begin by choosing candidates to help lead us out of the nightmare. Let's march to the polls today, Sept.13, while keeping our eyes on the prize —the Nov. 6 elections.

Q: Numeric issue with labels (QGIS adding decimals) I am encountering numeric issues, possible related to this problem: QGIS labels rounding error
I have a field value of 0.55 (type double NULL) that I want to display in a label as a percentage. The expression for the label is concat(FIELD*100,'%'). The label for this object is shown as 55.00000000000001%.
It only happens for certain values, but always for the same ones: 14% becomes 14.00000000000002 and 28% becomes 28.00000000000004. For other layers, the same thing happens with the ROUND function used in the label expression, for the values 57%, 58% and 110%. The problem recurs whenever those same values come up, in different layers.
Does anyone have this problem, or better yet, found a solution? For now, I get around by adding rounding, or rounding at a different place in the formula.
QGIS version is 3.22.9.

A: You can format the number when you change it to a string using the format_number function:

function format_number
Returns a number formatted with the locale separator for thousands. By default the current QGIS user locale is
used. Also truncates the decimal places to the number of supplied
places.
Syntax
format_number(number[,places=0][,language])
[ ] marks optional components
Arguments
number number to be formatted places integer representing the number
of decimal places to truncate the string to. language language
(lowercase, two- or three-letter, ISO 639 language code) used to
format the number into a string. By default the current QGIS user
locale is used.
Examples
format_number(10000000.332,2) → '10,000,000.33' if e.g. the current locale is an English variant
format_number(10000000.332,2,'fr') → '10 000 000,33'

A team of business students from the University of Queensland's Ipswich campus have gone into business marketing UQ-themed products to raise money for charity. The students called their company Eye Inc. and worked with Chew's Place Consulting (CPC) to produce transparent I HEART UQ pencil cases with 10% of their profits to be donated to Variety Queensland. Managing Director and business student Jonny Bell said one of the main objectives of the product was to give UQ students, staff and alumni a unique way of showing their love for the University. He said, "I think it is an extremely stylish and practical way to show pride in UQ." Mr Bell said he had gained enormously valuable experience from the short time he had been running the business. He said, "There were no shortcuts or limitations. We literally created a functioning business from scratch in just a few weeks." Members of Eye Inc. have forgone commission on the product, instead choosing to redirect those funds to help Variety Queensland support disadvantaged children. Mr Bell said, "Every child deserves to have a childhood." "Variety's mission is one we strongly support and we are extremely excited to be able to cooperate with them to provide a greater public awareness of the work they do." Eye Inc. marketing manager Andrea Vignati said she had thoroughly enjoyed the creative aspect of the course. "My favourite part was the brainstorming to generate the idea of the pencil cases. The friendly environment the course created made it a fun experience," she said. The I HEART UQ pencil cases are a continuation of the theme established by the popular "I HEART UQ" calico bags marketed by fellow student start-up Strictly Aces in 2008. Eye Inc. has already generated interest from customers including a large sale to UQ Business School. The pencil cases are available online and will also be on sale at a stall located on level 2 of Colin Clark Building on Wednesday October 6 from 9am. The cost of the pencil case is $4.99. Further information on Eye Inc. is available on the company's Facebook group, "I LOVE UQ".

Charlotte Ninon Coleman (3 April 1968 – 14 November 2001) was an English actress best known for playing Scarlett in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, Jess in the television drama Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, and her childhood roles of Sue in Worzel Gummidge and the character Marmalade Atkins. Coleman died of an acute asthma attack in Holloway, North London, aged 33.
Charlotte Coleman Scholarship Award
Coleman was the first of two daughters born to actress Ann Beach and Canadian-born television producer Francis Coleman. Her younger sister is the actress Lisa Coleman. She was educated at Camden School for Girls, from which she was expelled. Outside regular school hours she attended classes at the Anna Scher Theatre School in Islington, north London, because she said she was "too cool" to go to the Brownies.
At 15, feeling that her upbringing had been too liberal, her parents "didn't believe in restraint", Coleman enrolled at Dartington Hall School in Devon. It was a very progressive school where pupils "didn't have to go to any lessons, so I didn't. I spent 15 grand, all my money, and it was just stupid really." After this, she attended cookery school.
Coleman's first major television role was as Sue in Southern Television's Worzel Gummidge. This ran for four series (and a Christmas special) from 1978 to 1981 on the ITV network. Other early work included A Choice of Evils (Play for Today, BBC, 1977) and Two People (LWT, 1979), as Emma Moffatt). She had a crush on Stephen Garlick, her co-star in Two People. For the role, she had to choose a stuffed toy for Emma to carry; she named it "Haggis" and still had it when interviewed in 1990.
This was soon followed by her role as the teenage rebel Marmalade Atkins, firstly in Marmalade Atkins in Space (a one-off drama shown in 1981), and then in two series, Educating Marmalade (1982–83) and Danger: Marmalade at Work (1984). All three were made by Thames and written by Andrew Davies.
In 1990, Coleman appeared as Jess, a girl from Lancashire brought up by a strict Pentecostal mother, in the acclaimed BBC television drama Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, based on Jeanette Winterson's novel of the same name. Coleman won a Royal Television Society, Best Actress award and was nominated for a BAFTA for her portrayal of the young lesbian character. She also read the novel for release by BBC Audiobooks.
Other television appearances in the 1980s and '90s included roles in The Bill and Inspector Morse, the short-lived comedy series Freddie and Max, with Anne Bancroft, a drama about homelessness, Sweet Nothing and another lesbian role, as Barb Gale in the political satire Giving Tongue (1996). She also appeared in Simon Nye's sitcom How Do You Want Me? (1998–2000), alongside Dylan Moran and voiced the lead female character, Primrose, in the animated adaptation of Brambly Hedge. Coleman's final television appearance was in the adaptation of Jacqueline Wilson's Double Act, where she played the twins' teacher, Miss Debenham.
Probably Charlotte's most internationally known role was as the endearingly kooky Scarlett in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) with Hugh Grant, Simon Callow and Kristin Scott Thomas. She continued to act steadily throughout the rest of the 1990s in films, with her last major film being Jasmin Dizdar's Beautiful People (1999), set in London in 1993, at the time of the Bosnian War, playing the role of Portia Thornton.
Coleman portrayed the character of Lorna in Our Own Kind (Roy MacGregor), at the Bush Theatre in London (April 1991). She co-starred with Kevin Whately, Nisha Nayar and Jane Horrocks.
"The prime focus falls on Sylvie's bright-eyed schoolgirl sister Lorna. Vividly brought to life by Charlotte Coleman, she's both a droll chorus figure and an optimistic, surrogate victim. The play is tightly directed by new Bush supremo Dominic Dromgoole"
In 1987 Coleman's boyfriend Jonathan Laycock died as the result of a cycling accident; he was 23 years old. After his death Coleman went through periods of depression, and developed the eating disorders anorexia and bulimia; she also attended AA meetings because "she couldn't bear being with all those fat people at Overeaters Anonymous".
On 13 November 2001, Charlotte visited her family where they watched a film together. Her father later stated that she had been in great spirits, because of her new flat in Holloway, north London, which she had decorated, and there was a possibility of a career upturn after a few years of a career stall. Later that evening, she complained of feeling unwell, but went home to her flat against her parents' advice. The next morning, Wednesday, 14 November 2001, her parents telephoned her to see if she was feeling better; but there was no reply. Concerned, her mother went to Charlotte's flat, to find her lying unconscious on the floor; her asthma inhaler was in a different room. She was taken by ambulance to Whittington Hospital in north London, where she was pronounced dead on arrival, from a massive attack of bronchial asthma.
A memorial was held at the Mill Hill Buddhist Centre in north London later that month, attended by family and close friends.
The New London Performing Arts Centre introduced the Charlotte Coleman Scholarship in 2003. A showcase event is held every November from which one performer is chosen to receive the award. All NLPAC members are eligible for the prize of a year's classes in dance, drama and music.

'Portrait Of A Lady On Fire' Brings The Romantic Heat, 'The Aeronauts' Soars Into Theaters – Specialty B.O. Preview
Dino-Ray Ramos
In the first of a long list of titles stepping into the Specialty box office space is the French period drama Portrait of a Lady on Fire from director Céline Sciamma. The film, which stars Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel, was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival where Sciamma made history as the first woman to win the Queer Palm. It became a buzzworthy title during it festival run and will now have an exclusive one-week qualifying run in New York at the Angelika and in Los Angeles at the Arclight. Seeing as how it is a romantic drama, it will open in the top markets on Valentine's Day of next year before expanding throughout the country in February and March.
Set in France, 1760 the story follows Marianne (Merlant) an artist who is commissioned to paint the wedding portrait of Héloïse (Haenel), who has just left the convent. Not wanting to be married, Marianne arrives as a friendly face as she observes Héloïse during the day and paints her at night. As they spend more time together they become attracted to each other and Marianne's painting becomes a testament to their love.

The film currently sits at a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and won the award for Best Screenplay at Cannes and continues the strong momentum of Neon's 2019 slate that includes Parasite, Monos, Clemency, Luce, The Biggest Little Farm and Honeyland.
"We hope audiences have embraced our films because they offer something truly experiential that's only possible on the big screen in the theater," said Elissa Federoff, Neon's head of theatrical distribution. "The collective experience of seeing Portrait of a Lady on Fire with an audience is an emotional catharsis that will travel with you long after the credits roll."
She adds, "The extraordinary performances by Noemie Merlant and Adele Haenel in what is an immortal and sublime love story will continue to transcend language, age or gender and captivate audiences."
Amazon's The Aeronauts is also setting its own limited theatrical run before it streams on Prime Video December 20. Instead of a traditional theatrical release, including a previously agreed one-week Imax commitment, Amazon opted for a short theatrical release before dropping into the streaming space.
Directed by Tom Harper, The Aeronauts reunites Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones as they star as scientist James Glaisher and a wealthy young widow Amelia Wren. The pair set a balloon expedition to fly higher than anyone in history — but as their journey inches toward the edge of the world, their chances of survival are slim.
In addition to the film's limited theatrical run, Amazon also eventized the film as if it were heading for a huge traditional release. At the end of November, they kicked off "The Fair of the Aeronauts", a 19th-century carnival experience that recreates the World Fair that launched the Aeronauts in 1862.
The traveling event also featured a working version of the "Mammoth" hot-air balloon that flew attendees up as well as a screening of the film on the side of the balloon. The fair started in Los Angeles and went on to San Francisco, Phoenix, Atlanta, Orlando and Austin before returning to L.A. in time for its streaming debut. And for the first time, Amazon took one of their titles on a roadshow, screening the film in 70MM in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Miami, Columbus and Tucson.
Matt Newman, co-head movies, Amazon Studios, says that the fair captures and celebrates the "film's epic and visually stunning qualities" and "creates an emotional connection to the story."
"These events show our dedication to our customers and our filmmakers by raising awareness in an original way and showcasing the film in the many different formats we're making it available," said Matt Newman, co-head movies, Amazon Studios. "The events are free to consumers so that we can help draw as much awareness as possible."
He adds, "We see these as an opportunity for customers to experience our content in a personal way and it allows us to also engage with them in a way traditional media doesn't allow. We work backwards from our customers. We consider these events and activations successful when they delight and engage our customers."
An interesting pair of genre-bending films will also make their debuts this week. First is David Guy Levy's thriller The Mandela Effect which follows a man who becomes obsessed with facts and events that have been collectively misremembered by thousands of people. He considers this is something bigger and his obsession eventually leads him to question reality itself.
The second is Jessica Hausner's Little Joe starring Emily Beecham and Ben Wishaw. As detailed in its logline, the sci-fi drama follows Alice (Beecham), a single mother and dedicated senior plant breeder at a corporation engaged in developing new species. She has engineered a special crimson flower, remarkable not only for its beauty but also for its therapeutic value: if kept at the ideal temperature, fed properly and spoken to regularly, this plant makes its owner happy. Alice takes one home as a gift for her teenage son, Joe. They name it Little Joe. But as the plant grows, Alice thinks that Little Joe may not be as harmless as they think.
A24 steps into the weekend with the debut of its dark comedy In Fabric. Helmed by horror guru Peter Strickland, the film follows a lonely woman (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) who has just separated from her husband. She visits a London department store in search of a dress that will transform her life. She finds the perfect gown, but little does she know, the frock will come to unleash a malevolent curse and unstoppable evil, threatening everyone who comes into its path.
Serving up its own thrills is the Sundance pic The Wolf Hour starring Naomi Watts, Emory Cohen, Jennifer Ehle, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Jeremy Bobb and Brennan Brown. Written and directed by Alistair Banks Griffin, the film follows June (Watts), a counter-culture figure who has past her prime. As she cuts herself off from the world in her South Bronx apartment during the "Summer of Sam" era of New York, she stares out her window looking as the violence escalate to the 1977 New York blackout riots.
Rounding out the Specialty box office releases this weekend are the Luke Lorentzen documentary Midnight Family, which follows the underground industry of for-profit ambulances in Mexico City; Padraig Reynolds' horror Dark Light; Little Q, Wing-Cheong Law's adaptation of the Japanese novel Goodbye, Khoru; and the Hindi war film Panipat directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar.

ATLIS conference provides platform for student research
Tyler Stuart
Mt. A students across disciplines gathered in Tweedy Hall to for this year's Atlantic International Studies Organization conference, which spanned the weekend with speeches, discussions, and social events.
Founded in 2003, ATLIS is a student-run organization based at Mt. A that seeks to address international issues. The theme of the conference was, "Challenges to Future World Security: Food, Energy, and Privacy."
ATLIS encourages the participation of students from other universities. The weekend conference addressed a variety of international and domestic issues, and showcased student research.
"We serve as a platform for students to share their work," said Sharoni Mitra, the president of ATLIS and an international relations honours student.
Miriam Namakanda, a fourth-year political science student, shared part of a project she had completed for a seminar on Canada and globalization.
"I'm glad I had the chance to talk about something that interests me so much," said Namakanda, who spoke about the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and its perception in the West.
"There are a lot of structural issues that need to be addressed in relation of epidemics," Namakanda said. "It's kind of problematic to securities crises instead of actually funding or focusing on ways to reduce the emergence of epidemics."
Honours sociology student Mollie McGuire also presented at the conference. Her research examined the relationship between Canadian educational institutions and First Nations, and included testimonies of five indigenous students studying in Atlantic Canada and two indigenous elders.
"It was nice this year, because the presentations were really different, but there were similar themes you could discern from them," Mitra said.
McGuire said in her presentation that East coast universities are far behind those in the West in terms of services for indigenous students. Mt. A is in the process of hiring and aboriginal liaison worker, but McGuire says more university support is needed.
"Not having a space for the First Peoples on Mi'kmaq land is like being homeless on your own land," McGuire said, who is also an executive member of the Aboriginal Support Group. "It's our most important goal, but it seems to be what they are most reluctant to help out with."
Beyond the student presentations, the conference held a panel and keynote speech, as well as social events.
The panel's theme, combining academic research and activism, prompted ongoing discussion between student audience members and panelists.
"The panelists were really passionate when they were talking," said Sarah McNeil, an ATLIS executive member and international relations honours student. "It really felt like a discussion between panelists and students."
Although the number of audience members was low at some events, the planners said those who did attend participated.
"It was a really good quality of audience engagement, and that's all you can ask for," Mitra said.
