Annette Bening Serves Up Fire and Vulnerability in Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool
Bening and Bell: An aging star, an ageless couple
January 11, 2018 12:35 PM EST
The actor Gloria Grahame had one of the great faces of '50s film noir. If you've seen In a Lonely Place or The Big Heat, you probably haven't forgotten those eyes, as mischievous as a game of under-the-table footsie, or that mouth, like the sense memory of what a lemon drop tastes like.
The young Annette Bening greatly resembled '50s-era Grahame, throwing off the same kind of playful yet soul-deep spark. That's why it's so fitting that Bening should now play the older Grahame in Paul McGuigan's perceptive, bittersweet movie Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool, based on Peter Turner's memoir of the same name and set in Liverpool and London during the late 1970s and early '80s, the last years of Grahame's life. This is the story of young aspiring actor Peter (Jamie Bell) and his complicated relationship with Grahame, some 30 years his senior. The two start out romantically coupled; after their breakup, the ailing Grahame reconnects with her old beau and his family, seeking the solace of their Liverpool home, though she refuses medical care.
Bell is terrific at conveying Peter's impatience with Grahame's movie-star neediness as well as his ultimate reckoning with how much he loved her. And Bening is extraordinary, serving up a seemingly contradictory cocktail of fire and vulnerability. At one point, in the early days of their relationship, Peter tells Grahame he's going to see a one-man show. "I love those things!" she says in a zephyrlike voice."You get to say all the lines." It's a moment of pure showbiz self-centeredness, delivered as a wicked, flirty joke—as if Grahame herself were blowing us a kiss.

'The Call of the Wild' (2020).
The author's, of course, entirely subjective review of a recent dog movie from director Chris Sanders and Harrison Ford in the human lead, which is, however, clearly outshone by the animated dog Buck.
Feel free to add your own thoughts on this in the comments!
'The Call of the Wild' (2020) with Harrison Ford.
'The Call of the Wild' was created in the USA in 2020, starring Harrison Ford, and is based on the 1903 novel of the same name by Jack London.
The film is set at the time of the Klondike gold rush in the 1890s and the real star is the lovingly animated, large, gentle, spoiled Bernadine-Scotch Collie dog named Buck.
Although all the animals are animated, it's not so easy to figure out, and you have to look very closely to see this. Since the film is fairly closely based on the book, and since the story is told mainly from the dog's point of view, there is a certain amount of 'humanization' that can't be denied, and his facial expressions are mostly heartfelt in all situations.
The only way to tell the story in this way was to use 3D computer graphics for the animals. This also avoided the abuse and torture of real animals, which has often happened in film and one of the most recent examples is the discredited company Birds & Animals Unlimited, which otherwise provides such for filming.
By the way, the author Jack London, who wrote the novel, was himself a participant in the Klondike Gold Rush.
At the beginning of the movie, the spoiled St. Bernard Scotch Collie named Buck lives happily and contentedly with his master, Judge Miller (Bradley Whitford), in Santa Clara, California.
But since in the meantime the great gold rush has broken out in the Yukon region in Alaska, and strong sled dogs are wanted there for a lot of money, he is kidnapped one night by unpleasant fellows who have become aware of him.
Eventually he finds himself on a ship bound for Alaska, where he is threatened and beaten by a crew member with a club. Arriving in the strange environment, Buck is irritated by the snow he doesn't know, runs away and finds the harmonica lost by Harrison Ford (in the movie 'John Thornton'), which he brings back to him. This is his first contact with him.
Buck is then sold to Perrault (Omar Sy) and his assistant Francoise (Cara Gee) as an extra dog for their dog sled, with which they bring letters and mail across the Yukon. In doing so, Perrault hopes that this time he can make the long trip to the post office before the deadline with the help of the large and powerful St. Bernard Scotch collie. Buck is now introduced to the other sled dogs in his new pack, which is led by the vicious and dominant husky 'Spitz'.
Despite some initial difficulties with his new task, Buck eventually proves himself and gains the respect and trust of Perrault, Francoise and the other sled dogs. In the process, he even rescues Francoise after she breaks into the ice in a frozen lake. This, of course, makes the pack leader Spitz even more jealous.
Buck now regularly appears at important events spiritual visions in the form of a black wolf, which accompany him on his journey into the unknown and give him valuable clues.
For fun and frolic, Buck runs after a rabbit one night, with the pack following him. After cornering it, however, he lets it go. At that moment, Spitz shows up, grabs and kills the rabbit, and begins a deadly battle with Buck for pack leadership. The good-natured Buck can barely hold his own and only puts up real resistance when the pack calls him out on it. Now he wrestles Spitz down and thus takes over the leadership of the pack, whereupon the husky goes into hiding in the wilderness.
After Perrault cannot find his lead dog Spitz the next morning, he has to make Buck the leader over the dog sled after persistent refusal of the other pack members. In doing so, he makes the right decision, because thanks to Buck's strength and speed, the mail sled reaches its destination on time.
Shortly before the return journey Buck meets Thornton again, who somewhat belatedly wants to give Perrault a letter to his ex-wife, in which he wants to express to her his thoughts and feelings about their common, deceased son. At first Perrault doesn't want to accept the late letter, but Buck grabs it and takes it with him.
Upon returning, however, Perrault learns that his mail route is being replaced by a telegraph line and that he must sell the dogs and return.
Some time later, a vicious and inexperienced soldier of fortune named Hal (Dan Stevens) acquires the pack with Buck in order to search with them and his spoiled appendage for a rich vein of gold, which is making the rounds as a rumor. He makes the pack work to exhaustion with an unsuitable, overloaded sled in bad weather and equally unsuitable terrain.
Finally, the dog sled are to cross an ice sheet of a body of water that is already unsafe due to the thaw. When Buck doesn't want to go on, Hal threatens to shoot him. At that moment, Thornton shows up, having already sensed evil in the sled's departure. He saves Buck from Hal, brings him back and in his cabin where the dog recovers.
Some time later, Hal returns alone and meets Thornton at the saloon, where he reveals to him that the dogs have run off with all his possessions. When Buck arrives there looking for Thornton and there is an altercation between the two men, he attacks Hal. Hal is then thrown out of the saloon by the sheriff.
Back at his cabin, Thornton decides to live his dead son's dreams and pulls out a map of him from which he wanted to explore a route into the wilderness that was not yet charted anywhere. Thornton and Buck travel first by canoe, then on foot, into the unexplored Alaskan wilderness.
There they come across an old cabin in a valley with a small river and settle in. In the process, Thornton discovers that the old rumor of the huge gold find is true as he begins prospecting in the riverbed. At the same time, Buck meets a white she-wolf and becomes more and more attracted to her.
Every day Buck now runs into the woods and only returns to Thornton around dusk with freshly caught prey, which he has hunted down with the wolf pack. Buck is increasingly torn between his previous life as a domesticated dog and that of the free wolves, to which the white she-wolf belongs.
Having found a sufficient amount of gold, Thornton is convinced he must return home. He makes it clear to Buck that he wants to leave the next morning and say goodbye to Buck, who is to remain in his new freedom. Buck then runs into the woods in discord and sleeps with the white she-wolf.
In the meantime, however, Hal is out for revenge and, finding the Yukon map left behind in Thornton's cabin, suspects that the latter knows the location of the gold treasure. Shortly before Thornton's departure, he finds him in the valley and shoots him. At this moment Buck returns from the woods, overcomes his previous fear of a club and jumps at Hal, who in the process falls into the previously ignited cabin and burns to death.
The mortally wounded Thornton makes it clear to Buck that he is now to live his own life and reassures him with his last words, 'It's okay, boy. You're home.'
Buck returns to the forest after Thornton's death, mates with the white she-wolf, and leads his own pack when he had answered the 'call of the wild'.

MANILA, Philippines - So what if it's been cut into half? It's still illegal.
Commission on Elections Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr on Thursday, February 28, maintained that the Team Buhay, Team Patay poster at a Bacolod cathedral is illegal and should be taken down.
Comelec Law Department Head Esmeralda Ladra has sent a letter to Bishop Vicente Navarra, who manages the church, to remind him of the violation that the diocese continues to commit because of the oversized poster, according to Brillantes.
It's the second letter from the Comelec to the diocese regarding the 6 feet by 10 feet tarpaulin hanging at the San Sebastian Cathedral, Brillantes said.
Three days after it received the first order from Comelec to take down the tarpaulin, the Diocese of Bacolod sliced the original 6 feet by 10 feet material into two, so each part now complies with the Comelec-prescribed size of 2 feet by 3 feet.
Hung with one below the other outside the cathedral, the "conscience vote" material in effect looked the same as the original one-piece vertical tarpaulin. On top is the list of "Team Buhay" of 5 senatorial candidates and 2 party-list groups, and below it is the "Team Patay" of 7 senatorial aspirants and 4 party-list groups.
"Team Buhay" includes the senatorial hopefuls who, in their capacity as congressmen and senators, voted "no" to the RH bill, which became a law despite the Church's opposition. The anti-RH solons are JV Estrada, Gringo Honasan, Mitos Magsaysay, Koko Pimentel, Antonio Trillanes, and Cynthia Villar. Also endorsed by the diocese are party-ist groups Buhay and Ang Pamilya.
"Team Patay" includes those who voted "yes" to the RH bill: Juan Edgardo Angara, Teddy Casiño, Alan Cayetano, Jack Enrile, Francis Escudero, Risa Hontiveros, and Loren Legarda. They also include the party-list groups Gabriela, Akbayan, Bayan Muna, and Anakpawis.
The diocese maintains that the poster is not campaign propaganda since it's part of the Catholics' advocacy against the Reproductive Health Bill.
Brillantes disagrees. "What I'm saying is that they should dissent. If you are endorsing a product na andun ang mukha ng senator, that is propaganda by the definition of the Supreme Court. Heto, andun ang pangalan ng mga senador, sinasabi nyo ang Team Patay, Team Buhay, that's an endorsement of candidates. Ginagamit nyo ang advocacy as a result," Brillantes told reporters.

El Capitan upgrade has broken the Arduino IDE serial comm to Arduino Mega 2560 boards.
All worked well under Yosemite, stopped working after El Capitan OSX update.
Same problem here but with an Arduino UNO r3.
I have the very same problem with El Capitan and my genuine Arduino UNO.
There are no "tty" ports listed in Arduino IDE, just "cu".
An helping hand would be really appreciated!
The "/dev/cu." port seems to work the same as the corresponding "/dev/tty." port. The 1.6.x IDE just stopped showing both. Use the "/dev/cu." port.
The Arduino IDE does not work with an Adafruit Gemma either. It will not recognize the USB connection as a serial port at all in OS 10.11. Help!
I've found that I am able to program an Arduino / Genuino UNO R 3 through Bluetooth in El Capitan, using a Bluefruit EZ-Link. The Arduino IDE does see the Bluetooth link once you have paired it from your computer. That isn't a great workaround for the general problem because it requires adding Bluetooth to every project.
It seems that every USB serial port device is broken in El Capitan. I have a Pololu Zumo 32U4 robot based on a ATmega32U4 which uses LUFA USB (http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com/LUFA.php) and its port is now invisible too.
I have just installed the new release of Arduino IDE 1.6.6 (nightly???) on El Capitan 10.11.
I can get the Uno and Uno compatible boards running under "dev/cu.csbmodem1411" which appeared as expected. LeoStick (Freetonics Leonardo Compatible arduino) works exactly as expected. But DFRobot 4wd MiniQ which is also supposed to work as Leonardo Compatible will not show up.
Sorry it isn't much help except to let you know what I found as working under the new OSX. Looking forward to the geniuses updating the drivers.
without success, doesn't work with El capitan released (but seems ok with Yosemite and El capitan beta versions).
Just like Yosemite, El Capitan requires kext driver signing. How this can be disabled in OSX 10.11 is changed however.
@ cidiemme, just made an account to thank you. Was very close on giving up and do it in Windows.
The solution from (https://www.kiwi-electronics.eu/blog?journal_blog_post_id=7) worked for me in El Capitan.
@ cidiemme, just made an account to thank you.
Same problem of tty ports disappeared in El Capitan.
Any port showed isn't good.
I have an Arduino Uno Rev.3 board equipped with ATMEGA 16U2.
I think that installing CH340 drivers is a nonsense in my case.
Thanks to everybody can help me.
I second that Thanks. Cheers.
I have Uno Rev 3 working fine on the latest version of the IDE. I think I downloaded and installed it again and all was good after that.
I have installed le latest version of Arduino IDE, of oct-14th-2015, but the same problem of no tty port continues.

Covid-19 Best Practice Response: Focus on Transport Mediums and Impacts at Borders
29 April 2020 | International
The World Trade Organisation expects global trade to fall by 13% to 32% in 2020 due to Covid-19. The foremost concern is to maintain supply chains, especially for food and medical items.
Imposed road travel limitations are causing problems for global trade. In Europe, closure of borders aimed at the public to prevent unnecessary travel have caused 30 to 50-kilometer queues at EU-borders. Imposed travel limitations are also preventing containers from reaching loading docks. A letter by the International Road Transport Union (IRU) states that nearly 6% of all employed people worldwide work in road transport and, as the majority are small to medium sized companies, are particularly susceptible to negative economic impact as a result of Covid-19.
Maritime transport has also been negatively affected by the impact of Covid-19 travel restrictions. Examples include quarantining of cruise ships and refusing permission to port, lower demand and freight rates of commodity vessels, and Very Large Containership Vessels (VLCVs) departing Chinese ports filled up to 10% capacity.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) used notice to airmen (NOTAM) data to display the impact of Covid-19 on air transport, and the results show a fall from approximately 30,000 NOTAMs per day in January to 2,000 in April. Both passenger transport and airfreight are negatively affected by Covid-19 due to mass grounding of commercial flights, which have significantly reduced the availability of cargo capacity. Airfreight capacity dropped 60% between China and Europe, and 80% between China and the United States. Additionally, the demand for cargo cannot be matched by designated cargo planes, which therefore has resulted in increased shipment costs. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) states that the impacts of Covid-19 on air cargo demand became visible in February, and determined that the demand in air freight markets was down by 9.1% in February 2020. Furthermore, cargo capacity declined by 4.4% year-on-year in February 2020, mainly due to reductions of passenger operations made by airlines. Noteworthy is the increased cargo demand in Africa (6.2%) and the Middle East (4.3%) compared to a year ago, which is potentially due to their geographical location and their trade-links with Asia.
Whilst the imposed restrictions on road freight have negatively affected maritime transport, and the issues regarding airfreight capacity have caused the cost of airfreight to rise, these factors have increased the demand for rail freight on certain routes. As carriers have withdrawn up to 60 percent of Asia–Europe maritime transportation capacity, the demand for rail on the China-Europe network has risen.
Advising governments and corporates
The World Bank suggests that global trade is crucial during the Covid-19 pandemic and should be maintained to ensure access to critical supplies, and limit adverse impacts on jobs and poverty. Closing border crossings and introducing protectionist measures (e.g. restricting exports of medical supplies) could undermine health protection in the medium term as countries lose access to essential products to fight the pandemic. Instead, removing import tariffs and relevant taxes at the border on critical equipment, products, and food should be considered to back the health response.
Trade policy reforms could positively contribute to:
Reducing the cost and increasing availability of Covid-19 goods and services.
Limiting the impact of Covid-19 on the poor, and contributing to macro-economic measures.
Reducing tax and administrative burdens on import/export.
Supporting economic recovery and development of resilience to future crises.
Focus and advise for corporates include:
Following official government and/or health organisation guidance.
Safeguarding business continuity and prioritising the protection of front-line workers.
Internal and external collaboration, and increased focus on risk management.
This is an example of global business analysis which we are sharing as part of our global best practice resource to help you think about and determine appropriate responses locally.

Hughes promises that Stoke will take Rochdale seriously
Mark Hughes believes former club Manchester United can still win the title
By Phil Barnett
Mark Hughes is confident his Stoke side will not be caught cold tonight when they play Rochdale at Spotland just days after returning from warm weather training in Dubai.
The Potters boss took his squad to balmy climes for a change of scenery as temperatures plunged last week.
Returning to the cold to face the Sky Bet League One side in the FA Cup fourth round may come as a shock to their system, but Hughes is unconcerned.
"We are used to the weather in these parts and it won't take us long to get back into it," he said.
"Hopefully, the surface will be okay. We know we've got to go there, face the conditions and get on with it. It won't faze us. We will take the challenge on and make sure we get the job done."
Hughes explained: "The training ground here is a little bit wet under foot at the moment and that obviously wasn't the case away, so we got some good work done," he said.
"We've had two days leading into the game on Monday, so the structure of the week works for us.
"The break has done us good. We've just come through Christmas, which takes its toll on everybody.
"It's key they are able to re-boot for the challenges ahead."
The Welshman (pictured) is preparing for Rochdale in the same way he would a Premier League match and insists the cup is important to his side.
"Even against Wrexham in the last round we had something like 10 internationals on the field of play," he said.
"It's a trophy we have a good opportunity to win. But you need a bit of luck in terms of opposition, and in games because sometimes it can hit somebody on the backside and you lose.
"Rochdale are doing well and are highly thought of, so it won't be easy."

US State Department's new anti-China unit is a waste of time and resources
China House is another taxpayer-funded initiative designed to antagonize Beijing, instead of working on reconciliation for the common good
The US State Department announced on December 16 the launch of a so-called 'China House' unit, an internal reorganization designed to help sharpen policymaking against Beijing, Washington's primary geopolitical rival.
This unit, officially known as the Office of China Coordination, is supposedly going to be the centerpiece of the administration of President Joe Biden's policy toward Beijing and will employ up to 60 or 70 people specifically for furthering Washington's competition vis-a-vis China.
According to an official preview that US officials gave to Politico, the administration wants to streamline what it sees as a bureaucracy that's currently not fast enough to meet the challenges of the geopolitical rivalry. Inevitably, it shows that the US wants to create a more thorough diplomatic machine to push this rivalry up a new notch instead of focusing on much-needed cooperation as the all-important US-China relationship sours.
Prior to the rollout of this new entity, the US had been pooling resources from a number of disconnected agencies and units within the State Department. The unit will be headed by Rick Waters, a deputy assistant secretary who will now be its inaugural coordinator. But China House has not been described as a game-winning solution but rather as a crucial part of a much broader effort to combat Beijing's growing influence around the world.
China fumes over US 'economic coercion'
Of course, such China-oriented units within the US government are not exactly new. We know that in October 2021, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) created a so-called China Mission Center and, likewise, in February of the same year, the Department of Defense formed a China Task Force. Each of these essentially amounts to the same thing: boosting internal coordination within various government agencies to drive up the perceived China threat and attempt to contain Beijing.
While the US has in various formats sworn that it is not seeking a new Cold War against China and wants to cooperate on key points of mutual benefit, such actions tell a different story. That story being that the US is hellbent on confrontation first and foremost. For its part, China has highlighted the need for win-win cooperation, of which there are countless possible examples.
For instance, the US Department of Energy announced last week that scientists at the National Ignition Facility had reached a key breakthrough in nuclear fusion. Such an advance had eluded nuclear scientists for almost 60 years, but its rollout to the US (and global) energy portfolio, as it currently stands, will probably not have any significance until the 2060s or 2070s because of engineering challenges. However, with China's world-class engineering talent, Beijing could lend a much-needed hand in helping develop this technology for the real world. Such cooperation could greatly expand the world's arsenal in the fight against climate change and help the US and other countries reach carbon neutrality at or before their intended deadlines.
Can China break through the semiconductor blockade the US is building?
The US could also find new avenues to cooperate on trade to help create American jobs via China. In January of this year, it was reported that China helped not only save 9,000 existing jobs in the Boston area but also created a projected 400,000 more over the next 20 years after the China Ocean Shipping Company opened direct vessel service from China to the Port of Boston. Both of these examples, one hypothetical and one very real, highlight what a China House could focus on – helping American workers and the world – rather than drumming up competition between the world's two most important countries.
As it stands, China House is shaping up to be not all that productive. It will be one of several China-oriented agencies within the federal government blob that will compete for clout and funds, as we have seen take place in countless other examples over the years. This will essentially be a money pit for US taxpayers that will not yield any tangible results to benefit average people's lives but will only serve to demonize China in the international public eye, more than likely unsuccessfully. The unit will almost certainly be a waste of time and resources that the US could direct toward more productive activities that benefit both sides.
No doubt, China House will further deteriorate relations between the two sides. It will throw gasoline on an already raging fire and further fray an already damaged connection between the two countries. The administration should really think twice about the goals of China House and, one might hope, direct these resources towards more productive ends. As the most important diplomatic relationship in the world, China and the US have much that they could achieve together rather than wasting time and energy in fruitless competition.

Manuel Alcides Acosta Molinar (born May 1, 1981) is a Panamanian professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets, and for the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball.

Professional career

New York Yankees
Acosta was signed as an undrafted free agent by head coach Joe Terzi of the New York Yankees on January 6, . He spent five and a half seasons in the Yankees' minor league system before being released on July 24, . Prior to his release, Acosta had gone 0–8 with a 6.40 ERA in 15 games.

Atlanta Braves
He signed as a minor league free agent with the Atlanta Braves on July 29, 2003. He fared slightly better with Atlanta's high-A team, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, recording a 6.39 ERA and winning two games. In the minors, he took home 8 championships under coach Allan Bailey.

In , Acosta began the season with the rookie-level Gulf Coast Braves. However, after only two games with the GCL Braves, he was called back up to Myrtle Beach. He started the next reason with the Rookie-level Danville Braves. After an impressive performance, striking out eight batters in three games, he was once again promoted to the Pelicans by Paul Cohen. He split the  season between the double-A Mississippi Braves and the triple-A Richmond Braves.

Acosta pitched for Panama in the 2006 World Baseball Classic. He had an 0–1 record during the event.
On October 12, 2006, the Braves purchased Acosta's contract and added him to their 40-man roster.

On August 10, , Acosta was called up to the big leagues after Octavio Dotel hit the DL. He made his big league debut on August 12 pitching a scoreless inning of relief against the Philadelphia Phillies. He earned his first major league victory on September 23, against the Milwaukee Brewers. He finished the season 1–1 with a 2.28 ERA.

Acosta entered the 2008 season as a middle relief pitcher. But after Rafael Soriano and Peter Moylan were quickly placed on the DL, Acosta found himself in the closer role where he has struggled. He recorded his first major league save on April 19 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

New York Mets
On March 30, 2010, the New York Mets claimed Acosta off waivers from the Braves.

The Mets purchased his contract on June 3, 2011, as Michael O'Connor was sent down.

On May 29, 2012, Acosta was designated for assignment. His ERA for the 2012 season with the Mets was 11.86, with six home runs given up in 22 innings pitched. The Mets re-added him to the 40-man roster on July 24.

Pitching style
Acosta throws three pitches: a four-seam fastball, his primary pitch, at 92–96 mph; a slider (79–82); and a changeup (84–88), a pitch used almost exclusively against left-handed hitters. Acosta's delivery twists his body toward first base, giving him a release point almost directly "over the top."

The upcoming weekend promises to be really exciting for fans of rally competition. For the thirteenth time, the Memorial of Janusz Kulig and Marian Bublewicz will take place in Wieliczka, and on Sunday, the Tarmac Masters 2019 will be inaugurated in Lower Silesia. An event based in Nowa Ruda (Kłodzko poviat) will be an important point on the list of Rallytechnology team's preparations for the new season. The Rybnik company will bring Ford Fiesta R5 for the duo Sylwester Płachytka / Jacek Nowaczewski. The driver from Kłodzko returns to the stages of Polish Rally Championships this season but it is in the first round of the Tarmac Masters that he will debut in a new car in front of Polish fans. It will also be his first start in the car R5 on asphalt surface. The crew will start competing as the first one from the starting list containing an impressive number of more than 140 participants.
The route consists of a total of six trials played in three loops (OS Bieganów - 4.7 km and OS Jugów - 5.4 km). The total distance is nearly 30.5 km.
Robert Gabryszewski (Rallytechnology team manager): "We are very happy because of Sylwester and Jacek's come back, not only to the Rallytechnology tents, but above all to regular racing. In 2014 they won the vice-championship of Poland in Class 6 in Peugeot 208 R2, and now we will support them in their debut in the strongest class of RSMP. The season promises to be really impressive, with many strong crews, so we try to prepare best we can. We keep working , and have already completed a few days of tests. The next point will be a "real fight" test. In November last year, the guys presented a great pace on the gravel sections of Lausitz Rally, so now we cannot wait to the start in Świdnicki Rally. I am sure that the Płachytek / Nowaczewski duo will fight for an excellent result.
This weekend we are focusing on the Tarmac Masters. I hope that we will satisfy the fans and that they will enjoy watching Fiesta R5 rides and cheering for our crew. See you at the sections and you are welcome to visit our service zone."

Ex-daycare owner recorded abusing 4-year-old gets 2-year sentence
WBRC
Lynn Rowe
via WBRC
OMAHA, Neb. -- (WBRC) -- After pleading no contest to intentional child abuse, a former childcare provider, caught on video hitting and shaking a 4-year-old girl, was sentenced to two years in prison Tuesday.
Cellphone video of Lynn Rowe, 59, abusing a 4-year-old at her home daycare in late March 2017 became key evidence in the case against her, and the judge played it right before her sentencing.
As seen in the video, Rowe repeatedly slaps the victim then gives her a violent shake during a teaching lesson.
The child can be heard saying, "You're hurting me!" before Rowe responds, "Good, I hope it hurts you!"
While watching the video in court, Rowe flinched and shook her head at her own actions. She also cried as she apologized, saying she takes full responsibility.
"I was grateful that the video was shown – in a sense to make her watch it. It's a powerful message," said Allen Meyers, the victim's father.
Although the Meyers family asked for the maximum sentence of three years, they say they feel relieved the case is closed.
"I feel that she should be in an uncomfortable situation she has no control over and to spend her days and nights thinking about what she did to all those trusting, innocent children," said Kelley Meyers, the victim's mother, in court.
The Meyers say they hope this case serves as a warning for others to pay attention to their child's caretaker.
"You want proof that everything is going well. That's my biggest advice," Kelley Meyers said.
Rowe's attorney had asked for probation, telling the judge his client dedicated her life to children for 34 years. He says he's not sure yet whether Rowe will want to appeal the sentence.

One of the most popular traditions during New Orleans weddings is the famous second line parade. At a wedding if signifies the start of a new beginning of life for the bride and groom. A Brass band leads the bridal party and the guests from the ceremony to the reception venue or it may take place at the reception itself. A second line parade has two parts. The first line is usually a brass band and the ones being honored, the newlyweds. The newly married couple leads the second line holding uniquely decorated umbrellas or parasols. Many couples opt to add a grand marshal, an energetic local who heads the parade. All of the guests who want to join in the celebration make up the second line. The guests form a line behind the band and the newly married couple dance to lively music with handkerchiefs or cocktail napkins in hand!
There are a number of options to help you plan your second-line parade. For those couples who don't want to worry with the details, here are recommended companies that can help alleviate the stress of planning your second-line parade and specialize in second-line parade coordination on a daily basis.
For adventurous couples, the step-by-step second-line detailed process is below.
Once you have your ceremony and reception locations set, start planning out your second line route. If your venues are close together, consider using the secondline to move your guests from your ceremony to your reception. Second lines can be as long or short as you'd like but be aware that many guests may not be comfortable walking for too long in wedding attire. Many second line routes are about six to eight blocks long. Also be sure to parade in the same direction of traffic. The parade escorts will close the streets for your festivities, however you may end up having to hire more escorts if you parade "against" traffic on a one-way street.
Here is a list of local bands & DJs.
Want to add a little Mardi Gras to your wedding? One of New Orleans favorite traditions comes from the African-American culture, Mardi Gras Indians.
Even though the origin of the tradition is unknown, the century old tradition of certain New Orleans' African-American males dressing on Mardi Gras Day in elaborate Indian costumes has become a staple of our community.
Many brides pay homage to the Mardi Gras Indian tradition by including it into part of their wedding celebration. Whether, leading the second line parade or announcing the Bride and Groom at the reception – the Mardi Gras Indians are a show stopper.
No second line is complete without parasols for the couple and handkerchiefs for the guests. Choose to personalize your handkerchiefs with your names and wedding date for a special favor. Many local screen printing shops can work with you to come up with the perfect design. Additionally the happy couple is set apart from the rest of their guests by waving and dancing with custom decorated parasols. Common designs include wedding dates, feathers and other embellishments on either white or black parasols. Traditionally, a local family member will decorate the umbrellas and present them as a gift to the couple. Many local Mardi Gras stores and print shops sell these umbrellas decorated or couples can find them on craft websites for purchase.
Here is a list of local print shops & favor stores.


Soul Jazz Records Presents Yoruba!
Soul Jazz Records' latest album 'Yoruba! Songs and Rhythms for the Yoruba Gods in Nigeria' is newly recorded in Lagos, Nigeria.
The album is co-produced by Laolu Akins, founding member of the legendary 1970s Nigerian Afro-Funk/Rock group Blo, and Soul Jazz Records label head Stuart Baker.
This album features songs honouring the Nigerian gods of the Yoruba traditional religion – Yemoja, Obatala, Ogun, Sango and others – as well as a selection of instrumental cuts focussing on the Bata and Dundun drums. The album comes complete with extensive text and photography (40-page outsize booklet in CD/ full text in gatefold double vinyl + inners) showing the influence of Yoruba culture throughout the world and the social and historical context for the music contained here.
The enormous impact of Yoruba and West African music and culture is worldwide – from the first Afro-centric explorations of African-American jazz musicians in the 1950s such as Art Blakey, Randy Weston and Dizzy Gillespie, the explosion of Nu Yorican Latin music in New York City starting in the 1960s – Mambo, Boogaloo, Latin funk and soul - through to the sacred and powerful Afro-derived music of the religions of Santería in Cuba, Candomblé in Brazil and Voodoo in Haiti, which all came in to existence on account the Atlantic slave trade which began over 400 years ago. On a wider scale West African music remains the primary root of all African-American musical forms – from New Orleans jazz to Bronx rap, gospel, soul and more.
Yoruba! features an array of local master drummers led by Olatunji Samson Sotimirin and singers (featuring the lead vocals of Janet Olufanmilayo Abe) performing heavyweight Afro-rhythms, with talking drums, Bata and Dundun drums and a mass of percussion in these deep spiritual and sacred songs used to honour and worship the traditional and ancient Yoruba gods in Nigeria, West Africa.

Data Engineers are Not Vendor Managers
Chris Maurer Oct 11, 2022 9:40:15 AM
Insider Blog Newsletter Inside Crux Article
It's time to shake up the status quo of external data vendor management.
Data engineers are not vendor managers.
But when an executive's favorite Tableau dashboard isn't populating because something is wrong with its data source and he sends a high importance email to the engineering team, someone quickly becomes a vendor manager for the next 48 hours.
Suddenly, it's a single engineer's job to reach out to the data vendor as quickly as possible, which is often a challenge as email is the main communication method. If she's lucky, someone on the supplier side may reach out that day, but even then, if she's lucky enough to get a response, it simply directs her to a generic customer assistance email account. Or she'll end up with a 1-800 service phone number and spend three hours of her day on hold, only to be directed back to the person she started with.
Data vendors supply data access, but are not usually responsible for the state of the data once it's delivered. So your data engineer now spends her evening hours digging through repositories and logs, only to find out that the vendor changed a schema without notice. At this point, it's critical to pause and remember: repeatedly completing tedious work that is not your core competency is incredibly demotivating and can lead to burnout.
The next morning at work, she reaches back out to the supplier to let them know what happened, only to be met with an "okay" sent from iPhone email response. This isn't because her supplier contact is rude, or doesn't care about her account. But her contact does know that they can't support each individual licensed client with access to their data, and that they're big enough–in stature and popularity in the market–that customer service doesn't have to be their focus to keep bringing in revenue.
So the exec is satisfied, the pipeline is repaired, the schema has been updated, and all is well…right? But no one is accounting for the lost hours the engineer spent putting out this fire. Suddenly, your data engineer spent all of her working hours–and even more–acting as a vendor manager. None of her other work for the day was touched, and your company just paid her an engineer's salary to sit on hold for three hours. But it's not the exec or the engineer at fault here, or even the data supplier. It's the status quo, and it needs a transformation to account for this overlooked, albeit common, problem data engineers face when working with external data.
Understanding the Problem Requires Exploring its Impact at Scale
If you've made it this far, you might be squinting your eyes a bit and thinking to yourself, well, sometimes these things happen as a cost of doing business. A few hours of an engineer's time are negligible in the grand scheme of things. And sure, that's the case if your organization is a startup with 13 employees who wear many hats and are often pulled in a thousand different directions. But let's do some quick math.
Let's say our engineer makes $350,000 annually, which is about $179 an hour. In our example, our engineer spent 10 hours working on the pipeline problem, with about 4 of those hours spent simply trying to contact someone for help. That's $1,790 worth of data engineering work lost that day, which is pennies for large corporations.
But now let's think about that at scale. Most companies use 3-5 external data sources at minimum to support their critical business functions and decision-making. For easy math, let's assume you have a 1:1 engineer to data source ratio. With 5 data sources, that same issue could cost you $8,950 if each of them has one issue per year. But again, external data doesn't come cleanly packaged and ready to go. Conservatively, if each data source only has one issue a quarter, that's $35,800. Monthly? $107,400. It's easy to see how this can very quickly spiral into a five- or six-figure hidden cost.
And that's before even considering scale, and adding more datasets to the pipeline. Or before considering the financial implications of reallocating your data engineering resources from mission critical, revenue-driving work. Or accounting for hiring more engineers, or even a vendor manager to grow with your data pipeline. Frankly, these numbers don't exist at scale because no one has studied this problem in-depth, because it's accepted as a status quo cost of business. But it doesn't have to be anymore.
Reallocating Cost Savings to ROI Drivers
No matter what line of business you're in, adjusting your budget to allocate more money for ROI drivers and less on overhead costs–from your tech stack to employee investments–is always seen as good work. By identifying how much time your data engineering team spends on vendor management and investing that money in a solution that scales, you've opened up an allowance for that brilliant data scientist your team has been eyeing, a new data platform that makes onboarding datasets easier, a tool that helps transform and combine data, or even one that does all of those things.
Making sure your data engineers are able to handle only their core responsibilities also means that you're getting more bang for your buck when it comes to human resources, and it expands your team capacity. All of that is possible with Crux. We started where you are, with the same problems and frustrations, and now we're able to offer the solution. Our platform is built from a place of empathy, because we've been there before.
With Crux, you can reallocate that hidden vendor management cost into our technology, and let us handle the heavy lifting when it comes to your external data, freeing up your data engineers to do what they do best. Gone are the days of accepting the status quo as your only option, because now Crux is offering up the solution. We're already connected to 265+ data suppliers–simply connecting to a single Crux pipeline opens up that access and all your vendor management issues will vanish.

The Catron & Fisk CF-10 aka International CF-10 was a triplane airliner developed by the Catron & Fisk Airplane and Engine Co. in the early 1920s. One example of the type was converted for use in the Dole Air Derby endurance race of 1927.

Development
The Catron & Fisk Airplane and Engine Co was founded in 1917, developing several aircraft in series including the CF-10, a 22-passenger airliner. The company was reorganized as International, accounting for the aircraft's dual identity as the International CF-10. The 'Spirit of Los Angeles' modified the CF-10 with long range fuel tanks and update Wright Whirlwind engines to compete in the Dole Air Derby.

Design
The CF-10 was a large twin engined triplane originally powered with Curtiss OX-5 engines. The aircraft featured a conventional landing gear arrangement, with paired main wheels. The twin engines were mounted to either side of the fuselage between the middle and lower wings. The middle wing did not have a full span, each wing only protruded from the engine nacelles outboard, leaving a gap next to the fuselage for visibility. The fuselage was octagonal in shape with a large windowed cabin, and a two-seat open cockpit placed high to the rear of the aircraft. One example, later known as the Pride of Los Angeles, was painted bright orange.

Operational history
In 1927, actor Hoot Gibson, and five other California businessman sponsored The Pride of Los Angeles, a modified version of the International CF-10, for an attempt at winning the Dole Air Derby. Gibson had his name painted on the nose, and face painted on the sides for publicity. On 12 August 1927 before the air race, pilot James L. Giffin, navigator Ted Lundgren, and passenger Lawrence Wiell  left Los Angeles and crashed into the San Francisco Bay nose first 300 feet shy of its destination Bay Farm Island airport after veering to avoid another plane. All occupants were thrown from the aircraft and made it to land safely. The sponsor, Gibson was furious.
