Beyond the Original Trilogy
George Lucas should get more credit for "saving Anakin Skywalker" in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Many people credit Dave Filoni for "saving Anakin Skywalker's character", by making him more likeable in The Clone Wars animated series. In Dave's own words, he asked George Lucas if his Anakin could be "a combination of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo". However, it was actually originally George's idea to portray him as more charming and heroic. I'd like to put forth the idea that the way Anakin is portrayed in this series, is actually part of George's overall imagining of the saga, and that one of the reasons for the creation of this series was that he had a similar perspective to a lot of fans. The idea that we only get a glimpse of Anakin and Obi-Wan as good friends in the films, and that there is a large gap from Anakin Skywalker in AOTC to ROTS, both come from George's mouth. I especially appreciate his explanation of the creation of Ahsoka Tano, and how she brings out a more "human" and mature side of Anakin Skywalker. In this interview, we get to hear George's perspective on all of this.

Ultimately, it was Filoni's execution of these ideas which made the series work, so of course he deserves credit where it is due. However, the more you realize just how involved George was in this series, the more you realize that The Clone Wars is essential viewing for understanding the entire saga.

I do agree, partially. Lucas does deserve blame for structuring his trilogy badly, barely showing Anakin being heroic and likable, and barely showing Anakin and Obi-Wan being friends. The only time we see Anakin being heroic, charming, likable, and having a good friendship with Obi-Wan is the beginning of ROTS which is far too late. You have to sit through one boring film and one abysmal film to get to it.
But when people say TCW Anakin is a completely different character or that Filoni fixed him, it isn't really correct. He's the same as ROTS Anakin, we just got to see more of him.

Meh… I don't know. Maybe it's just the way Lucas directed Hayden Christensen, or perhaps Christensen's own creative choices, but his portrayal of Anakin often bordered on eerily unstable or psychotic, like he's channeling Malcolm McDowell in a Clockwork Orange. Even during the opening sequence of ROTS, where Anakin is arguably the most level-headed and closest to what I would have imagined him to be, Christensen still occasionally injects this underlying element of borderline personality disorder that comes out sometimes in a facial expression or line delivery.
In contrast, Clone Wars Anakin is a lot closer to something like a Han Solo/Luke Skywalker hybrid. Basically a typical "hot shot" hero character who sometimes also functions as an anti-hero when he wants to be expedient. This portrayal is definitely closer to how I imagined Anakin to be prior to the Prequels, but I also think it loses a lot of the vulnerability that Christensen's portrayal offered.
Regardless, it's hard to reconcile the two portrayals as representing the same character. I think a perfect Anakin portrayal would combine elements of the Filoni incarnation with some elements of Christensen's portrayal, like the occasional vulnerability. I also think Anakin should be a bit less brash/Han Solo-esque, and more of a "by the book" guy that values courage, loyalty and stability. (These are the kind of traits that need to be exploited for him to become Vader.)

I think a lot of people conveniently forget Lucas's impact on The Clone Wars when it comes to discourse. Lucas was at the head of the table in those writing rooms. If I'm not mistaken, most of the storylines and characters come straight from him. No episode got finalized without Lucas seeing it all the way through and approving it. That's not to say it wasn't a collaboration. It certainly was with all the writers, Lucas, and Filoni as director, and it was a type of collaboration not seen since Return of the Jedi I'd say.
Now, as for Anakin's portrayal himself… I agree with G&G-Fan, to me it's not a different and improved take on the character, but rather we're seeing sides of him we unfortunately were not shown in the Prequels.
Move along, move along.

Lucas would have also been in charge of Star Wars Underworld and episodes, 7 8 and 9 if he hadn't sold his company. Who has claimed that Lucas wasn't the creative behind Star Wars. Like it isn't obvious after the awful job Disney has done.
Now its Disney/Filoniverse but no Lucas. Its not even 10% real Star Wars.
I'm no Lucas or prequel apologist but it is plain for me to see that Lucas wrote the first 6 films. Kasdan did drafts on Empire and Jedi but he didn't write the story. He was the one who wanted to kill Luke and Han. And how awful is Episode 7 Kasdan wrote that without Lucas.
Filoni without Lucas is straight up fanfiction.

I've only watched the part of the video linked to in the opening post, and this is an interesting subject to me in that it also highlights what George failed to do or show onscreen in the Prequel films. And the continuing attempts since to fix, repair, or explain the shortcomings or problems with the Prequels in the ancillary series and material since. Whether that is 2003 Clone Wars (to an extent), the 2008 film, The Clone Wars series, Rebels, or Tales Of The Jedi and so on. Or official articles and interviews, and the slew of fan-made "George is a secret genius" or "Prequel deeper meaning" material such as Ring Theory or visual symmetry, or overlong and videos pieces on fans simply "failing to understand the Prequel films". None of which changes anything onscreen in the Prequels themselves.
For example, I really enjoyed the Dooku segments of 2022's Tales Of The Jedi. But I could not help but question just why we were not shown such material in the Prequels themselves, which would have made his character and story arc far more compelling. 20 years on from AOTC and we finally got some enticing onscreen content about Dooku and his motivations, instead of what we saw in AOTC & ROTS; a 2D disappointing mustache twirling throwaway villain.
We really could do with a Special Edition of the Prequels, such a thing would be fascinating to see, along with the reactions and thoughts of many Prequel fans.
Though I still don't understand why Obi-Wan and Anakin's friendship, them becoming a team, and then closer like "brothers", wasn't shown in the Prequel films themselves; that it needed "a footnote" such as TCW to explain or show this.
According to George, the Anakin character was "very one-sided" in ROTS, perhaps this was why George felt the need to show that more charming heroic side of Anakin, "his settling down and maturing a little bit which is what happens when you become a parent or teacher". But this takes place shortly before his fall to the dark side, betraying the Jedi, killing the children again (and the men and the women too!), choking his pregnant wife, and fighting Obi-Wan. Then finding out it was all for nothing, that he was lied to and misled by Palpatine, but still continuing on to become Space Hitler. To me it is all quite uneven, and jarring.
If George Lucas worked on and had significant input on TCW along with Dave Filoni, then George should likely deserve more credit for "saving Anakin Skywalker", with any others who worked on that side of creativity for the film or series. Is the video posted by SWOTFAN25 about 2008's The Clone Wars film, or the series? But anyway, we should also remember and acknowledge why Anakin needed "saving" in the first place, going on what was shown or portrayed in the Prequels. Or not shown, in this case.

I think you could be right, but also that a lot of people may not even know of George's input into TCW, that they think it was Filoni as the head or being in charge of it all? Or that there wasn't a collaboration or partnership? (why, I don't know). It would be interesting to see a poll on this.

Exactly this! Movies should not have to "make you do homework" to properly understand the themes and characters they're trying to portray. The prequels require so much "homework" for appreciation like that.

Agreed, and I genuinely prefer Hayden's Anakin over TCW Anakin.
For example, I really enjoyed the Dooku segments of 2022's Tales Of The Jedi. But I could not help but question just why we were not shown such material in the Prequels themselves, which would have made his character and story arc far more compelling.
There's a thing called limited amount of on-scream time. The Prequels are supposed to be three films, so you can't expect everything to be explored in detail in three simple films, unless you want to see 10 hours-long Prequels. But I sincerely doubt you would have liked to see that, wouldn't you?
Again, it's a matter of limited amount of on-screen time. The Prequels are not supposed to be about Anakin and Obi-Wan's friendship, the Prequels are supposed to be about Anakin as a character, his motivations for joining the Sith and becoming Darth Vader, and the fall of the Republic. It's only natural that they can't show everything about Anakin and Obi-Wan's friendship, as it's not what they are supposed to show in detail. Unless you want to see 10 hours-long Prequels, again.
In general, I think that the Prequel Era would have worked better as part of the EU, being developed through books, comics and video games. This way, the authors wouldn't have worried about limited onscreen time and could have developed and explained everything in detail.
Showing Anakin and Obi-Wan's friendship makes it way more devastating when Anakin turns and they have to fight. I think that's more important then showing him as a young kid.
G&G-Fan said:
Showing an innocent child who turns into an inhuman monster who kills children is very impactful as well, and showing Anakin's childhood and his life in slavery is important to understand his character.
As I said, everything in the Prequels is important, the problem is just that there's a limited amount of on-screan time, which prevents you from showing everything in detail. That's why I said that the Prequels would have worked better as EU. I mean, imagine if the Prequels were an EU multimedia project, consisting of books, comics and video games. It would have been great, because in a EU multimedia project everything can be shown in detail and you don't have to worry about on-screan time at all.
Spartacus01 said:
(Almost) Every child is innocent. Showing that Anakin was a good kid means nothing. I'm sure Jeffrey Dahmer was a "good kid". What actually matters is seeing that Anakin was a good man.
Also no, his life in slavery doesn't end up meaning anything, in the end. It's never brought up again after The Phantom Menace. It's never delved into how it affected him. He just misses his mom, which is normal. His trauma isn't explored until the Zygerrian arc in The Clone Wars.
Besides, being told he was a slave and seeing how it effects Anakin would've been much more effective. It'd allow the audience to fill in the blanks, rather then just seeing Anakin go "Yipee!" and having no apparant fear or hatred of his master. Allowing the audience to fill the blanks is way better because what the imagination can think of is far more horrifying then anything they could get away with showing on screen in a kids movie. That's why Han Solo's torture in The Empire Strikes Back works so well.
If you wanted to tho, you could show him in slavery in nightmares he has or something. Either way, it's not a good enough reason to have him be a kid a whole movie.
Well that's the issue, isn't it? They're too convoluted. They don't work as films on their own. George should've cut down the story to make it less complicated.
The content of Revenge of the Sith and some of Attack of the Clones (plus showing how Palpatine became the Chancellor) are enough for a whole trilogy.
A few scenes with Dooku in the background of TPM, talking with Qui-Gon about his deteriorating faith or belief in the Jedi, then leaving the Jedi after the death of Qui-Gon shouldn't add-on too much to the run-time. Or for that matter adding his battle with Yaddle shown in AOTC, his fall to the Dark Side (which could serve be a mirror of Anakin's later turn in ROTS) and serving Palaptine and his schemes, shouldn't either. Nor in ROTS where Dooku's death would have had more impact, especially at the order of Palpatine at the hands of Anakin.
It is why I suggested a Special Edition of the Prequels are needed. To merge the films together more, for characters to have more impact on-screen, and to the story. To fulfill the viewer's expectations, and also to fire the viewer's imagination more. To maybe trim some of "the fat" for scenes that do not work so well also.
I hope a skilled or experienced fan editor on here does do a version where they marge that Tales Of The Jedi storyline into an edit of TPM, AOTC & ROTS. Or maybe in a 3 in 1 edit.
I don't expect "everything" to be covered, but I do expect to see certain events and relationships to occur on screen in the Prequels. The friendship between Obi-Wan and Anakin is an important major aspect of these films, and also to the Saga itself.
If the Prequel films had to run an extra 5-10 minute each: TPM's 216 minutes, AOTC's 142 minutes, and ROTS' 140 minutes, to portray that friendship and partnership more effectively and emotionally, and Dooku having a more of a presence and a deeper more poignant arc in the films and to the story, then so be it.
Fans shouldn't have had to wait for an additional animated series sometime later to show that friendship effectively. To expand upon that evolving friendship in a later animated series, to show more actual events, more actual adventures, and give it a "deeper dive", for sure.
Absolutely this.
Exactly. When you go from TPM to AotC, there's a disconnect because little Ani and grown up Anakin don't really register as the same character. TPM is trying to show Anakin at his most noble before he starts to go Dark, but it doesn't really feel like it counts because he's 9.
Also, if you show a child doing these dark things, it's too obvious to see the direction they will go down. The Good Son came off as cheesy for that reason.
Besides, being told he was a slave and seeing how it effects Anakin would've been much more effective. It'd allow the audience to fill in the blanks
Sure, but that's your opinion. There's people who would have complained about what you say as well. In fact, I'm sure that if they had really done this, then the Prequels would have been criticized anyway, by using statements like: "They told us about how Anakin lived in slavery and how it was horrible, but it's impossible to directly relate to it, because we weren't shown. Please George, show, don't tell." I mean, if you really want to find problems, then it's virtually possible to criticize the Prequels by using every possible argument and counter-argument.
It's not complicated if you pay attention to the movies and notice the details, like the facial expressions, etc. For example, last year I showed all 6 original Star Wars movies to a friend of mine, and when he saw Attack of the Clones for the first time he knew right away that Sidious and Dooku were behind the creation of the Clone Army. When I told him there were people who had trouble understanding it, he literally said: "Really? But how? It's so obvious…" So, not everyone finds the story complicated. Sure, I think that some parts could have been explained better, but the story is not so complicated to understand if you pay attention.
how Palpatine became the Chancellor
That's the whole point of The Phantom Menace. Unless you wanted a single line where they say something like: "Palpatine became Chancellor because he was elected."
A few scenes with Dooku in the background of TPM, talking with Qui-Gon about his deteriorating faith or belief in the Jedi, then leaving the Jedi after the death of Qui-Gon shouldn't add-on too much to the run-time.
Sure, but Dooku wasn't even a thing when TPM came out. It's like saying: "In ANH there's no clue about who Luke's father is." Besides, in TPM you already have to think about Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Anakin, Padmé, and Jar Jar. So, adding Dooku as an extra-character you have to think about is just too much. However, I grant you that they could have added the AOTC deleted scenes where Dooku's story and motivations are explored better.
That's your problem, not mine. As far as I'm concerned, I've always found more than enough what's shown at the beginning of ROTS. From that beginning only, I've always been able to derive, to understand everything and I've always been able to grasp the emotion of the final duel. Their friendship is something that I've always imagined in my head, I've never felt the need to deepen the dynamics so much. Their friendship is a "fill in the blanks" case, at least for me.
Yeah, some people would complain about it. I don't really care. Some people complain about stuff in other movies I like and I just disagree.
I disagree with a lot of people's problems with Return of the Jedi's narrative choices. Hell I'm an MCU Spider-Man fan, I have to defend controversial creative choices from whiny fanboys who can't accept change people all the time.
Besides, they didn't show it in the movie we got, anyway. There's never any sign he was abused and he's never scared of his master. Like I'm not saying to show a 10 year old getting whipped (which would just be fucked up), but like at the very least show that Anakin is really scared of his master. I still think it's ideal to just start him at 19 at the least. Because it's the backstory, not the story. Breaking Bad didn't dedicate whole episodes to Walt working at Grey Matter.
I'm not referring to "it's too complicated to understand". Like yeah, the Prequels are kinda obvious, narratively. We're talking about the movie with, "If only… Senator Amidala, were here".
I'm referring to the fact that the movies are overstuffed. Attack of the Clones is a prime example of too much plot, too little character development. Lucas even realized he fucked up not showing any Anakin and Obi-Wan friendship in the movie and put in the elevator scene in pick-ups. But a 1 minute scene in which they recount old adventures didn't do enough to make people feel they're such good friends. More legwork that had to be done by Revenge of the Sith.
The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones suffer so much from bloating their plots that so much got pushed back to Revenge of the Sith. Lucas himself even admitted this.
George Lucas said:
But I did run into the reality of the first film. Basically, he is a slave kid. He gets found by the Jedi and he becomes part of the Jedi order and that he loves his mother. You know, that's maybe a half hour movie. And so I did a kind of jazz riff on the rest of it and I said, "Well, I'm just going to enjoy myself. I have this giant world to play in and I'm going to just move around and have fun with this because, you know, I have to get to the second part." So, then I got to the second part, and it was kind of the same thing. They fall in love, they can't and they're not supposed to, and, you know, little bits of trivia in terms of, you know, setting up the empire and how all that stuff works.
That's about another twenty percent of this story treatment. The first film is twenty percent, the second film is twenty percent and I then ended up with a third film. The problem was the third film was actually more like eighty percent of the story. So, I was sitting there with a lot more story to tell than I actually had time to tell it. It was the reverse of what I had in the first two films.
Most of the story is in Revenge of the Sith. So much screentime in the other two films is wasted because of that.
That's… what I was referring to. I was saying that a better Prequel trilogy would be the content of Revenge of the Sith, some elements of Attack of the Clones (mostly just the beginning of the clone war and Anakin and Padme falling in love, which should've been in the first movie), and showing how Palpatine became the Chancellor (AKA a part of The Phantom Menace).
I brought that up in particular as a lot of people suggest already have Palpatine as the Chancellor at the beginning of the trilogy which IMO isn't a good idea.
So, the summary of your criticism is this: in the first two Prequel films there is not much story to tell, so you lose a lot of time behind secondary things. Am i right? If so, then great, it's a very acceptable critique. But my reply is this: not every movie in a Saga has to be fundamental to understand the Saga itself. In my opinion, sometimes it's nice to have movies where the plot is a little calmer, without necessarily having action and important things happening all the time.
But a 1 minute scene in which they recount old adventures didn't do enough to make people feel they're such good friends.
It was enough for me. That scene was really enough to make me feel that they are good friends. Especially because being friends doesn't necessarily mean not arguing or having a good chemistry all the time.
just the beginning of the clone war and Anakin and Padme falling in love
Do you realize that without the assassination attempts there's no investigative plot, that without the investigative plot there's no Clone Army, and that without the Clone Army there's no Clone Wars, right? How do you think they should have used the screan time instead? The movie shows exactly what it's supposed to show: the beginning of the Clone Wars, and Anakin and Padmé falling in love. The investigative plot leads to the beginning of the Clone Wars and the romance leads to…the romance.
a part of The Phantom Menace
It is not "a part", it is the whole movie! Again, without the Trade Federation blockade there is no Naboo crisis, and without the Naboo crisis there is no Palpatine's election. How do you think they should have used the screen time instead? The movie shows what it's supposed to show.
At the expense of giving Anakin a more gradual fall to the dark side, showing him and Obi-Wan being friends, Anakin being heroic, more manipulation of Anakin from Palpatine, or maybe even more time with Darth Vader in the suit?
There's a reason people love The Clone Wars. There's a galaxy of potential in this era.
Good for you. But for a lot of people, the arguing felt too antagonistic to the point where it felt like Obi-Wan couldn't stand Anakin. Which is where the popular interpretation of "Obi-Wan wasn't a good master/father figure to Anakin" came from, even though it wasn't Lucas' intentions.
It'd be a lot better if it was spread out between healthy banter, but in AOTC there's none of that except for the elevator scene.
There's a very different way to plot it that could lead to a much more streamlined story. You could have a cool James Bond-esque Obi-Wan investigation, but it doesn't have to be so dragged out. It takes 3 whole scenes just to find the planet. And maybe even have Anakin be with him (this would ideally take place in the first movie) to show their friendship. Or you could have Palpatine just introduce the clones without any mystery plot and show Anakin-Obi-Wan friendship in a different way.
Furthermore, you could have Anakin and Padme fall in love in the midst of the clone war. The Separatists are attacking Naboo, Anakin and his troops are sent to intercept on his first solo mission. Allows us to have the love story, gives the opportunity to showcase Anakin being heroic while also allowing us to show Anakin giving into the dark side more in battle. Maybe even throw Tarkin in there as a military commander. Now that I think about it, the love story would be better for the second film.
I can think of another way to streamline it. The Separatists are introduced in the first movie as a secessionist group. The surface level reason to blockade a planet is blackmail for independence (of course they're actually doing it because Palpatine told them to). Palpatine's able to make the Chancellor look weak because he doesn't want to go to war, and because of that he's able to get elected. By the end of the movie the clone war begins.
Starts the clone war earlier, more consistent villainous organization through the trilogy, and less of a need to explain space taxes.
You can do this alongside some other subplot. Maybe you do think we need to see Anakin found on Tatooine and his background and keep Qui-Gon. Maybe we just start with Obi-Wan and Anakin already master and apprentice and they're the ones that try to negotiate instead of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Include a subplot of Obi-Wan and Anakin uncovering the clone army, or maybe they're too busy with something else and some other Jedi like Mace Windu, Plo-Koon, or even Yoda does that, allowing us to flesh out one of the other Jedi characters a bit. There's a lot of ways you can retool the plot to be better structured.
If you prefer the Prequels just as they are, that's excellent for you. I'm glad you find them fulfilling where I don't. These are just my ideas and my opinions.
There's a lot of ways you can retool the plot to be better structured.
Maybe you should rewrite the Prequels instead of doing fanedits, then. Have you ever thought that?
That wasn't the point of my replies. The point of my replies is: for the story they have to tell, the Prequels are intrinsically not good for a movie format, because there are a lot of things to explore, and there's not enough screan-time to do it. So, it would have been better if they had been part of the EU. However, even with their limited amount of screan-time, I'm still capable of getting everything necessary to appreciate them.
Imma be honest, I haven't worked on my fan-edits in a long while, and I've been thinking about doing rewrites for a long time. I've got a lot of ideas for the plot for each movie.
I'll probably still make fan-edits of the Prequels tho, just so that when I do watch them they'll be more enjoyable experiences. And for what it's worth, I still enjoy ROTS a lot.
That's cool. I personally would've preferred if the 3 movies could stand on their own, but I'm glad you appreciate them for what they are.
I want to created edits of the Prequels as well. I already have my Attack of the Clones edit completed if you're interested.

I look at it this way: if it's 1993 or whatever and you're trying to write the Prequels from scratch, what would you focus on? Suppose your goal is to generate the maximum amount of drama and audience emotional investment possible. What is the most effective way to achieve that? The obvious answer is to focus on the tragic friendship of Anakin and Obi-Wan, from the beginning to the heart-wrenching betrayal. The limited backstory we get in the OT practically screams that this should be the focus. Sure, there are other details… clones, a Republic becoming an Empire, etc., but those things really are just window dressing.
I mean how many times does Vader bring up Obi-Wan in the OT? He brings him up to Luke all the time. It's clear their relationship was incredibly significant for both of them, for better or worse.
Yet the Prequels don't really make this the main focus until Episode 3, at which point it's way too late to generate any serious emotional impact. Even worse, Anakin spends most of Episode 2 complaining that Obi-Wan sucks. To this day I'm surprised Lucas just didn't seem that interested in their friendship, opting instead to tell a more cluttered story, with Palpatine's antics really being the main through line, and only 2 out of 3 films actually featuring Anakin.

Being italian and having watched the PT for many years in italian only, i can safely say he comes out a bit better than the original, it's by no extent of the imagination a perfect dubbing, mostly because the voice actor still needs to emulate at least sometimes his tone, unfortunately we traded a better performance for Anakin for the clearly superior acting that Ewan McGregor gave for Obi-Wan in original language, not to mention McDiarmid's priceless Palpatine acting.
I would almost compare it to Schwarzenegger's case, i know his bad Austrian accent is iconic, but if you watch his movies in any other language (italian would indeed be mine, although i admit especially from the late 70s through early 90s the italian voice acting landscape was ON FIRE, so that gives it more of an edge), they become whole different movies.
As far as the topic goes, I would say that it really depends how much Lucas was actually involved in at least bouncing off ideas back and forth with Filoni.
It's painfully clear at this point that George's strong suit is being an idea man, so i wonder how much he "idea'd" stuff for the CW, i guess we'll never really know, no matter how many documentaries can be available about the making of TCW.

CeramTec manufactures and develops advanced ceramic components. The products are used in many different applications, especially in medical technologies, automotive manufacturing, electronics, equipment and machine construction, defense technologies, and chemical industries. The company headquarters are in Plochingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The company is present around the globe and has production sites and sales offices in the world's most important markets. In Germany, the main sites are Plochingen, Lauf and Marktredwitz in addition to the company's other German sites in Ebersbach, Lohmar, Wilhermsdorf and Wittlich.

The company is a member of the Ceramic Industry Association (German: Verband der Keramischen Industrie e.V.  - VKI).

History

 The founding of CeramTec goes back to the year 1903, when the Thomas factories (Thomaswerke) were founded at the Marktredwitz site, and which were taken over by Philipp Rosenthal & Co. AG in 1908. In 1921 Philipp Rosenthal & Co. AG began cooperating with AEG in the development of technical porcelain for early industrial applications of ceramic materials. The two companies intensified this partnership in the area of technical ceramics in 1936, resulting in the foundation of Rosenthal Isolatoren GmbH, also known as RIG.

With the intention of manufacturing technical ceramics, they reorganized their cooperation in 1971. The result was the company Rosenthal Stemag Technische Keramik GmbH, which was renamed Rosenthal Technik AG in 1974. In 1985 Hoechst AG acquired the company and from that point on operated it under the name Hoechst CeramTec AG. Cerasiv GmbH, a company based in Plochingen, took over Hoechst CeramTec AG in 1996 and the newly formed company received the name CeramTec AG.

The site in Lauf an der Pegnitz has its roots in STEMAG AG (Steatit-Magnesia Aktiengesellschaft), founded in 1921. Following an initial incorporation into AEG in 1970, the company merged into Rosenthal Stemag Technische Keramik GmbH in 1971 as part of the reorganization of the partnership between Rosenthal and AEG.

Südplastik Gummi- und Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH began operations at the Plochingen site in 1951. Feldmühle AG took over the company in 1953, renaming it Südplastik und -keramik GmbH (SPK). Feldmühle AG refocused its ceramic activities in 1991 in the newly founded Cerasiv GmbH, but then quickly sold it in 1992 to Metallgesellschaft AG, which integrated the company into its subsidiary Dynamit Nobel AG. Cerasiv GmbH's acquisition of Hoechst CeramTec AG followed in 1996, resulting in the founding of CeramTec AG as a Metallgesellschaft AG (mg technologies AG) company.

Metallgesellschaft AG's subgroup Dynamit Nobel AG broke away from Metallgesellschaft AG in 2004. KKR, an American private equity firm, became the main buyer, integrating parts of Dynamit Nobel AG into Rockwood Holdings Inc.  In the process, the US-based Rockwood group took over ownership of the CeramTec AG group. CeramTec continued to grow, acquiring and integrating Emil Müller GmbH (Wilhermsdorf, Germany) into the company as a subsidiary in 2007. A further acquisition followed in 2008; ETEC Gesellschaft für technische Keramik mbH also became a subsidiary and was renamed CeramTec-ETEC GmbH.

In 2013, Rockwood divested several of its companies and the CeramTec group was acquired by the British private equity firm Cinven.

In April 2017, CeramTec agreed to acquire the UK electro-ceramics business UK Electro-Ceramics, consisting of two manufacturing sites at Ruabon and Southampton, from Morgan Advanced Materials plc. In the same year, Cinven sold the company to private equity investor BC Partners for €2.6 billion.

In spring 2021, CeramTec Group acquired the Swiss specialist for ceramic dental implants, Dentalpoint AG.

We care for orphans. It's just what we do. From the time I was a little girl, I had a passion to help the lost, rescue the hurting, advocate for those treated unjustly. It's hard work and not always fun.
No one likes the trenches in a war. They are deep, dirty; they are darker, and sit below other people in the battle. Yet, I am learning, God does not always call us to "easy". More often it's the trenches He calls us to "go" to, to help other people.
Still, there is something inside us that constantly longs to be carried inside our velvet lined litters. You know, those wheel less chairs, propped up by other people. Deep inside our sin nature…if we are honest, transparent….we all long to be high and lifted up, acknowledged by other people.
Yet, even Christ came humbly, quiet, in a manger. And contrary to some thinking, God calls us to make disciples, to live missionally, bringing love, hope, healing, to fight for justice for those mistreated. And although those places can be difficult, there can be quick molding, humbling being done in quiet serving…if we accept it.
However, my mother always warned me, "It is a very short fall from where a halo turns into a noose." And to be honest, at times I have been arrogant in my pursuit for equality, my heart to help the hurting.
Those who live daily doing social justice type work can likely relate, quickly suffering from something called a "Messianic Complex"…the thinking that as we help others, we somehow are their Messiah. We can fall into the trap of the first sin of Satan, wanting to exchange our role of servant for that of the Savior. It can creep up unrecognizable, as we crawl out from the trenches and sit high above other people, resting idly in our chairs wanting to be carried comfortably by other individuals.
If we are honest, we have all sat in that chair high above other people…not always in actions, but somewhere in our thinking.
Recently, we drove through a very poor region where other white skinned people surrounded; many toothless, smelly, and smoking; tattoos even covering the children. Quickly my flesh began lifting itself out from the trenches of…."How can I help? How can I love them?"….to wanting to stay hidden, quiet, separate, in my well lined litter (or my new car, if you will). I was self-righteous, pretentious, and to be quite honest…my heart was disgusting.
I wanted to play God. I wanted to call CPS. I want to do something.
But, there was no crime. Only mine. And I saw how quickly working for social justice can lead even I, farther away from Jesus. After all, it's not what we do, but the heart and the spirit that we do it in that matters.
Any halo I might have had now surely become a noose. I had a Messianic Complex. I had to repent.
Today, I encourage you. If God is calling you to help the poor, feed the homeless, fend for the widow, and care for the orphan; stay obediently in the trenches, recognizing we are all imperfect, following Jesus' model of humility, and diligently seeking the purification offered by His Spirit.
For unsuspecting, pride can rise quickly in serving, becoming our quickest enemy, leading other people not to…but away from Jesus.
Thank you for the sober reminder that we all need. Isn't it easy to judge from our point of view. Linking with The Better Mom today.
Kim, It so absolutely is. What would we do without God's gentle reminders that often we...I...have a plank in my own eye. Thanks for your comment!
A warning for all of us who serve in God's kingdom. Pride has a firm grip, yet I've found the undeserved grace of God releases Satan's tentacles. Our ever faithful God is so forgiving, isn't He?
Oh Pamela...Yes! So thankful for a God who throws our sins as far as the east is from the west!
Thanks for this timely reminder Jen- it's so HUMAN to fall into this trap ! May we do all: through Him, In Him, and never think we have power to change anything by our own actions.
Love your heart Jen- it mirror's Christ in you.
Mary - You are so right...we don't have the power to change anything. Only God does! Thanks for this reminder and your sweet comment!
"...my mother always warned me, "It is a very short fall from where a halo turns into a noose."" OUCH! This is such a clear picture of what we (I) can so easily have happen.
Your words are right on, Jen, and I so appreciate your wisdom. God has used you to share such a poignant period at the end of His sentence. He needs us to be so aware as we do the work He calls us to do.
Linda - Thanks for reading! Yes friend, that our hearts (not just our actions) glorify Him and Him alone!

Diet Coke reveals its new limited edition skinny Taylor Swift can Earlier this year, Taylor Swift signed an endorsement deal with her favorite soft drink, Diet Coke. Now the soda company has revealed a special limited-edition Taylor Swift "Sleek Can." Sleek? More like skinny mini, which is appropriate considering Taylor's a skinny mini herself. According to Creativity Online, the can was designed by design company Turner Duckworth and features a quote by Taylor that says: "If you're lucky enough to be different, don't ever change." The cans are set to arrive in stores sometime in October. [Source]

Luis Víctor Verde Ballesteros (Madrid, 21 de juliol de 1964 - 2004) va ser un futbolista i entrenador madrileny. Com a jugador ocupava la posició de migcampista.

Trajectòria
Va començar a destacar a les files de la UD San Sebastián de los Reyes, equip amb el qual és el màxim golejador del seu grup de Segona Divisió B a la campanya 83/84. Això li val ser fitxat pel Reial Madrid, que l'incorpora al seu filial.

El Castilla el cedeix a la 85/86 al Calvo Sotelo CF, i a l'any següent fitxa pel Xerez CD, amb el qual debuta a Segona Divisió, jugant 26 partits i marcant tres gols. Entre 1987 i 1989 forma amb el Llevant UE. Posteriorment, fitxa pel Benidorm CD, també a la categoria de bronze.

El 1991 s'incorpora al CF Extremadura, amb qui disputa la temporada 91/92 i part de la temporada 92/93. Eixa campanya la finalitza amb l'Hèrcules CF, amb qui assoleix l'ascens a Segona Divisió. Amb els alacantins disputa 17 partits la temporada 93/94, a la categoria d'argent.

El 1995 retorna a l'Extremadura, ara a Segona Divisió, i eixe any aconsegueix l'històric ascens a primera divisió dels d'Almendralejo. La temporada 96/97 debuta a la màxima categoria, en la qual juga 15 partits.

La temporada 97/98 recala al CD Utiel i l'any següent al Motril CF, equip en el qual es retira. Va seguir vinculat al món del futbol, dirigint a equips com el mateix Utiel o l'Atlètic Saguntí.

This was what we expected for a youth gift. Note: The chain is short, possibly too short for some individuals. Lucky this was a gift for an school age girl so the chain size worked. Note: We thought it was scratched a first until we discovered that it had a protective plastic wrap over the piece.
Love this website and all the jewelry!
I love this necklace and wear it everyday. I also bought one for my daughter.
I like it so much I plan on buying a couple more!
Love it! I know my friend will love it as well.. Thank you so much!

Q: Scoping Issues when referring value from Struct Instance in Rust So I have this program and everything is working just as I want it to. The only problem is "student1.name" at the bottom. I wanted to replace "self.name" with "student1.name", but i'm having Scoping Issues. "self.name" was working perfectly fine. Here is my code:
 fn main() {
    let student1 = IOT_student {
        name: String::from("Husayn Abbas"),
        age: 13,
        education: String::from("O Levels"),
    };

    let instructor1 = IOT_instructor {
        name: String::from("Imran Ali"),
        age: 25,
    };

    println!("{}", student1.ask_Questions());
    println!("{}", instructor1.ask_Questions());
}

trait Questions {
    fn ask_Questions(&self) -> String;
}

struct IOT_student {
    name: String,
    age: i8,
    education: String,
}

struct IOT_instructor {
    name: String,
    age: i8,
}

impl Questions for IOT_student {
    fn ask_Questions(&self) -> String {
        return format!("Zoom session will be LIVE, Zoom recording will not be available. Quarter 2 studio recorded videos are available on Portal.");
    }
}

impl Questions for IOT_instructor {
    fn ask_Questions(&self) -> String {
        return format!("{} In case of any issue email to education@piaic.org", student1::name);
    }
}

And here is my output:
Compiling IOT_Assignment_2 v0.1.0 (/home/memelord/Documents/PIAIC Quarter 2 IOT Assignments/IOT_Assignment_2)
error[E0425]: cannot find value `student1` in this scope

   |

   |                                                                                ^^^^^^^^ not found in this scope

  --> src/main.rs:21:8
   |

   |        ^^^^^^^^^^^ help: convert the identifier to upper camel case: `IotStudent`
   |
   = note: `#[warn(non_camel_case_types)]` on by default

warning: type `IOT_instructor` should have an upper camel case name
  --> src/main.rs:27:8
   |
27 | struct IOT_instructor {
   |        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: convert the identifier to upper camel case: `IotInstructor`

error: aborting due to previous error

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0425`.
error: could not compile `IOT_Assignment_2`.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

Have any ideas why this is happening (i'm a Rust beginner so please try to make your explanation simple)?

A: The trait implementation methods are in completely different universe than the function calling them.
If you want to be able to use the name of a student in the call, you have to add an argument to the function. Example:
impl Questions for IOT_instructor {
    fn ask_Questions(&self, student: &IOT_student) -> String {
        return format!("{} In case of any issue email to education@piaic.org", student.name);
    }
}

Now call like:
println!("{}", instructor1.ask_Questions(&student1));

Peugeot Panama's picture puzzles confound its Pinterest followers
Peugeot Panama invites consumers to follow it on Pinterest for a chance to win "cool Peugeot kits" by completing picture puzzles of its cars. Players look on the automaker's website or Facebook page for any of one of four photo pieces, create a Pinterest board for the contest and begin pinning away. The first five contestants to complete the puzzle and share it with Peugeot win a prize.
It sounds fun and enticing enough, but the game is nearly impossible to figure out. Once users manage to understand the instructions, the technology is glitchy and inconvenient to use. First, Pinterest does not allow pinning directly from Facebook. Also, many of Peugeot's pages do not work. However, the campaign gets points for originality, creativity and pioneering a Pinterest campaign.
Peugeot moderators were quick to respond to questions and comments about the game and technical issues, and reassured users that it was working on fixes.

Tag: International Walking Encounters
Festivities and Delegates
Part of the Separation and Unity Project, Cataluña, July 2022
This wall hanging, 'Festivities and Delegates' represents an act of unity, the bringing together of many of those who attended the Walking Art and Relational Geographies International Encounters conference in Cataluna in July 2022. Planned for several years, but thwarted by the pandemic, delegates were at last able to travel from Australia, South Africa, Brazil, America and Europe to the conference in Girona, Olot, and Vic to share walking art and community projects via presentations and walkshops over a period of a week.
This work was inspired by the 18th /19th century 'Saints and Festivities for the months of April to November' in the Museu Montserrat. I climbed up there after attending the conference. The ornate Russian 'menologion' is a calendar featuring rows of saints, above which are their names and the dates of the days on which they are honoured, in cyrillic script.
This would have been a visual reminder of the annual Masses of the Orthodox Church which celebrated many different saints.
A menologion (menologium, menology, menologue, menologia) was sometimes a liturgical 'office', an ecclesiastical, Eastern Orthodox service book or martyrology; a long list of saints and the details of their lives arranged according to the months of the year.
It is not dissimilar to the secular mural at the National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh depicting key figures and events in the history of Scotland. The Separation and Unity Project is interested in the movements towards and away from independence by Scottish and Catalonian peoples, at what urges us to separate from, or join with each other.
I am also referencing Buddhist and Hindu mandalas, and other celebratory depictions used to inspire their followers and remind them of the true path. Mandalas come in many shapes and sizes, often using geometric arrangements. They can represent the whole universe, and be used as a way to separate from everyday existence and focus on what is important for greater knowledge. The Vajrabhairava mandala, for example, is a silk tapestry woven with gilded paper depicting lavish elements like crowns and jewelry.
The human mind is like "A microcosm representing various divine powers at work in the universe"
John Ankerberg and John Weldon (343:1996) via Wikipedia (see below)
Process and production of Festivities and Delegates
I took digital photos and video stills from my phone documentation of the conference and the social time we spent together, and manipulated the images using free Layout software. In some cases I used social media images. Instead of the elaborate calligraphy that you can see on the Russian 'Festivities…, I wrote free-hand with my finger or with a biro.
Details: 160cm long and 70cm wide, mixed media – sewed from scraps of upholstery fabric which came from free sample books. Ribbons, tapes and sundry, shiny objects such as bells, earings which have lost their pairs, and sequins. Iron-on paper was used to transfer the photographs onto the fabric.
It incorporates a number of small brass and other metal bells, with reflective totems. These were/are often used to ward off evil spirits, to bring ones attention into the moment, to reflect the devil's face back to him, and, contrastingly, even to represent the sound of the Buddha's 'voice' spouting wisdom. The protective aspect would also traditionally have been as much from the 'monkey mind' and other natural inner temptations, as from what might be attacking us from the outside. Tantric mandalas would have been an aspect of separation and protection from the outer Samsaric world.

Community Walking Projects, Walking without a donkey - travels in Spain
International Walking Encounters – Cataluña
The Project – part 1
The first part of The Separation and Unity Project between Edinburgh and Cataluña takes the form of walking, walkshop and outdoor performance as part of WALKING ARTS ENCOUNTERS, Walking Arts and Relational Geographies
There is a spiritual-political-geographical link between Edinburgh, Scotland where I live, and Cataluña in the Iberian Peninsula where the Encounters are taking place (Girona, Olot and Vic). In both countries, we have long been engaged in matters of self-determination, with debates over separation and unity, community, national and inter-national relationships. Whilst primarily represented as a battle fought in law courts and parliaments, or between opposing protesters on the streets, this has often been a binary approach. It is necessary to spend time listening, sharing and making work with artists and members of the community in order to understand each other better and find possible ways forward.
Europe is defined, in many ways, by borders. They speak of crumbled empires, shifting boundaries – most of them, …. speak of unimaginable suffering.
Kerri ni Dochartaigh 'Thin Places' p17
As a walking artist, secular pilgrim, feminist and outdoor performer, I will carry the awareness of these issues from the Scottish hills to the Cataluñian mountains, from Edinburgh's extinct volcanoes (Arthur's Seat, Calton Hill and Castle Rock) to the volcanic land of Olot, and between Oak Wood in the Lammermuir Hills and the oak trees of the Plain of Vic.
I have been walking the St Margaret's Way through the carboniferous volcanic rocks of the Burntisland area in Fife, Scotland, and will be able to carry my experiences with me on the ancient spiritual path which unites each of the three conurbations where the Encounters are happening, the Camí de Sant Jaume (Camino Catalán).

Film and pamphlet on return to Edinburgh.
Collaboration with delegates during the International Encounters will take the form of walking sections of the urban camino together in each of the three locations. This ritual series of three mini pilgrimages will be a way of considering the spiritual aspect (in the widest sense of the word), and the trinity of psychogeographical outings will form a unity between the three sites for the purpose of comparing sensations, ideas and feelings. Each walk will start with an embodied exercise for individuals, a group game for unification, and prompt = one hour in each place:
Girona: starts at the Catedral de Girona to Pont de L'Aguia 9pm for 40 minutes
Olot: starts at Plaça Major to Pont de Sant Roc 6.30pm for 30 minutes
Vic: starts at Catedral de Sant Pere de Vic to L'Atlàntida Centre des Arts (35 mins 6.30pm
Co-existence and mutual reliance
I will be making contact with women for whom this focus is pertinent, both in Scotland and Cataluña. As always I will seek Shiatsu practitioners with whom to exchange.

It also became one of the most shared films in the country with 78% organic views (vs. 22% paid views), having been picked up by important local and international sites and earning to a total of PHP102m (approximately USD2m) in media value despite its minimal media investment (approximately USD25,000).

Paul Hamy est un acteur et plasticien franco-américain né le . Il signe ses œuvres sous le nom de Paul Walker Hamy.

Biographie
Paul Hamy est né en 1982, d'un père américain et d'une mère française. Très tôt, il s'intéresse à l'art, au dessin et au cinéma.

Il est repéré dès l'âge de seize ans par le photographe de mode Paolo Roversi. Il défile pour des grands couturiers comme Hedi Slimane chez Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Comme des Garçons, Christian Lacroix, pose pour le magazine Vogue et voyage dans le monde entier.

En 2006, il côtoie la caméra pour la première fois pour le tournage d'une publicité pour Coca-Cola light, "The chase" réalisée par Sébastien Chantrel,  qui révolutionne le genre en faisant courir les personnages sur les murs sans câbles mais avec un système de décor rotatif.

Il étudie le dessin et la sculpture et fonde "POK - Pain O choKolat", un collectif de plasticiens, photographes, designers, vidéastes, comédiens, danseurs, DJ et musiciens. En 2010, il dévoile une série de sculptures sous le titre Chapeau, Chimère & Forme.

En 2013, Paul Hamy décroche deux castings sauvages pour des rôles au cinéma. Il est Marco dans la comédie dramatique Elle s'en va d'Emmanuelle Bercot , où il fait la cour à une Catherine Deneuve en pleine crise existentielle. S'ensuit une prestation davantage remarquée dans le drame Suzanne de Katell Quillévéré, où il se glisse dans la peau d'un petit malfrat charismatique qui entraîne Sara Forestier dans sa cavale. Pour ce rôle, il décroche une nomination pour le César du meilleur espoir masculin à la 39e cérémonie des César et à la 19e cérémonie des prix Lumières, et reçoit le prix "Premiers Rendez-vous" au Festival du film de Cabourg.

Il campe ensuite un skinhead dans Un Français de Diastème porté par Alban Lenoir, puis rejoint Matthias Schoenaerts et Diane Kruger dans le second long métrage d'Alice Winocour : Maryland. Dans ce dernier film, il incarne un militaire de retour en France qui fournit un travail de garde du corps au personnage de Schoenaerts. Quasiment au même moment sort Mon roi dans lequel il joue un pote fêtard de Vincent Cassel.

Acteur caméléon, il se tourne vers un cinéma de plus en plus exigeant, de l'oppressant Malgré la nuit de Philippe Grandrieux à l'allégorique L'Ornithologue de João Pedro Rodrigues, son premier grand rôle pour lequel il reçoit le prix du public du meilleur acteur aux Prix CinEuphoria de 2017, en passant par Le Divan de Staline sous la direction de Fanny Ardant, où il incarne un jeune peintre chargé de concevoir un monument à la gloire de l'homme d'État soviétique, campé par Gérard Depardieu.
Il poursuit dans la même veine en 2018 avec Occidental de l'artiste protéiforme Neïl Beloufa et 9 doigts du cinéaste punk underground F.J. Ossang.

Il est marié à Denitza Stefanova depuis .

Plants / Lupinus : Lupinus regalis 'Morello Cherry' "Lupine"
Most of us here along the Coast have never been able to keep alive the "Regal Lupines" (polyphyllus), commonly available in 6-packs in Spring. When we got a hold of the seed for 'Morello Cherry' Lupine, I had a feeling it was different and would prosper here. Seed propagator Anni Jensen strongly suggested we hold it back, making sure it would not succumb to mildew and rust. I got to have my chuckle when it not only thrived, but produced the most beautiful, 16", perfectly erect spikes of large, cherry red blooms. It grew almost 3' tall, branched out and bloomed all Summer! Don't miss it, kids - it's a winner!


This festive flat white party invitation features a red background with an array of colorful holiday lights at the top of the card. "HOLIDAY party" is pre-printed at the top of the card within the Christmas light design. Includes white unlined envelopes.

With L&T moving to acquire stake of Café Coffee Day owner V. G. Siddhartha's stake in Mindtree and coming closer to acquisition of one of India's leading mid-tier IT companies, the stage is set for probably the first hostile takeover of a company in India's vibrant IT sector.
L&T late on Monday moved to acquire 20.32 per cent stake in Mindtree by acquiring the stake of Siddhartha. L&T purchased the stake at Rs 980 per share, spending about Rs 3,269 crore.
To seal the company's fate, L&T also placed an order for a purchase of about 15 per cent of Mindtree's share capital from the market at the same price. As per SEBI's takeover laws, the company has also announced an open offer to public shareholders of Mindtree to pick up another 31 per cent of the IT company's shares, again at the same price per share.
While this acquisition will enhance L&T's technology and IT services and give it an edge in digital and cloud solutions, through Mindtree it will get an established team and IT services portfolio which has a reputation and great track record.
Obviously, this design was not part of Mindtree's scheme, and the promoters are trying their best to huddle and find a way out of this emergency situation.
Erstwhile CEO and one of the pillars of Mindtree, Subroto Bagchi has resigned from his position as head of Odisha Skill Development Authority to "save" Mindtree. His return to the company would of course strengthen the management's hand in stalling the hostile takeover in case they are able to muster enough strength to face the onslaught.
Later, on Monday, Mindtree's promoters, including executive chairman Krishnakumar Natarajan, co-founder Bagchi, CEO Rostow Ravanan and executive vice chairman and COO Parthasarathy N.S. issued a statement in this regard.
If the present promoters are able to hold back the takeover attempt, it will save a well nurtured and disciplined company and carry on with the good work they have been doing and maintain the momentum in the growing Indian IT industry. If however, L&T succeeds in the hostile takeover, and all the signs point towards that at the moment, it will set a precedent in the Indian IT sector that may not go down well with the rest of the industry.

The Sea Gulls claimed a thrilling 17-15 victory over visiting Montclair State University on Saturday, October 13 to remain undefeated in both the New Jersey Athletic Conference and overall, posting a 6-0 mark thus far this season. The team was led by Kadarrius Campbell, who ran for a team-best 72 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns. The defense was equally as impressive as it held the Red Hawks to 208 total yards and forced six turnovers, including four interceptions.
It is the first national ranking the program has held since last season when it remained at No. 25 in the country in the D3football.com poll.
The top five teams in the country are a combined 30-0 in 2018 and are led by the University of Mount Union, which garnered 1,265 points. The University of Mary-Hardin Baylor remained at No. 2 in the nation, garnering 1,234 points, while the No. 3 spot was taken over by The College at Brockport. University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and St. John's University rounded out the top five, earning the fourth and fifth rankings, respectively, as Wisconsin-Whitewater totaled 1,101 points and St. John's picked up 1,026 points.
