My Payton turned 6 today! Seriously, when did we get to 6 years old?
Got exactly what she asked for and wanted, like this limited edition Monster High Doll - Catty Noir.
And got her lolly cake!
I tried to pretty it up but she was happy just to smoosh the M&M's onto the cake.
Happy Birthday my sweet 6 year old!
I'm so glad you had "The Best Birthday Ever"!!!

African American Lives 2
Blaine Bettinger 2 February 2008 10 Comments
According to some sources, genetic genealogy testing rises considerably during February, which is Black History Month (as I wrote about last February). Part of this might be due to last year's very popular TV show "African American Lives" on PBS. Starting next week (on the 6th) is the first half of the latest version of the show, "African American Lives 2." I'll be watching, and I think most of you will be interested in the show as well.
In anticipation of this series, Diverse Education has written an article entitled "The Value of Knowing Where You Come From." The author of this article, Cassie Chew, recently interviewed me and a few of my quotes made it into the article. The article wonders if there is a possible genetic explanation for behaviors that run in families. For instance, one of Oprah's ancestors appeared to have built a school on his land, and Oprah recently opened a school in South Africa. Is the appreciation of education genetic?
As I explained to the author, it is possible, but there are also many other possible explanations. For instance, the appreciation of education could have been instilled in the children of each generation by parents, which wouldn't require any genetic component. Additionally, it is likely that if we looked hard enough we could find an ancestor who exhibited any characteristic we value in ourselves (while we ignore the ancestor who portrayed the opposite of that characteristic!). Scientists just aren't able to currently identify genetic explanations for almost all human behavior, and the answer will certainly almost never be a gene or two. Our behavior is a very complex mixture of nature and nurture.
African American Lives 2 will air February 6th and 13th from 9 to 11pm on PBS.

So what did you think? I watched last night and one moment stood out to me. When HLG was telling Chris Rock about the accomplishments of one of his ancestors who upon being freed, fought in the civil war, ran for public office and won, among other amazing things. Chris Rock explained how he felt like if he had had this information earlier he would have conceived of himself and his opportunities differently – that he had more options and choices than he pictured. I thought it was a great example of the psychological impact genealogy can have an a person..
Blaine Bettinger 10 February 2008 / 10:28 pm
Dana – Although there was no DNA, I thought it was a great episode. And I think the show (as you stated) made a great point of which many people are unaware – sometimes the 'genealogy' aspect of 'genetic genealogy' can have just as much impact as the 'genetic' aspect. People (genealogists, specifically) have been dealing with the psychological impact of learning about the lives and decisions that make us who we are today – perhaps that is why we are so willing to make the leap to genetic technology.
Tyra Zilverberg 19 February 2008 / 11:58 pm
I found your special to be of most interest, but My family has known Native and canadian ancestry. On my father side of the family his grandfather the first cousin of the wright brothers. My dads grandmother was of white (her dad and mom only known pure african in our family) escaped to Canada during the civil war. father mom was Irish, Indian an African. (looked Italian). My moms mother's people mom's side her grandmother was Irish/cherokee Indian. Her father was Blackfoot Indian and his mom white, and his father of African and white ancestory. While I found your note of the Indian ancestory interesting. We have always talked about the blood the runs in our family and with the people before they passed.
her father
Tyra,
Sounds like a very diverse genetic background as well as a great genealogical challenge. After you've done some preliminary genealogical research, you might want to explore your genetic genealogy options, such as Y-DNA or mtDNA. Good luck in your pursuit!

Hello Blaine
Thanks for the encouragement regarding my family roots. I plan to really look into my family background in the very near future. I think our past really helps us to understand our future and
the choices we have made in the past.
My family as it relates to the ancestry ties to the Wright brothers is very interesting. I have Pictures of my grandmother in Canada as a young girl and of her father the first cousin of the Wright brothers. He was a well known figure and even a minster in his day. I think the stories I was told about this forbidden child my grandmother would tell a most interesting story someday. Unfortunately, all of the main players have passed, but the facts are still a strong memory in my mind.
Wright Brothers DNA 9 November 2008 / 8:29 pm
I saw a study done on the wright brothers & it classfied them as genetic Somalids.
It shows their origin going to Britain, most likely Roman soldiers from Greece & their ultimate origin of their DNA in East Africa

The Somalid Race 24 December 2008 / 3:10 am
The whole concept of the Somalid race is an attempt to divide us.
We are all Blacks, Somalids (E1b1b) are also Black. Don't fall for YTs poison

"Somalids or whatever you want to call it, but it was E1b1b1 (V13) that was in Europe for atleast 5000 years"
You have to understand the affinity between Somalis & Balkan people is very close, even closer than that between Somalis & Berber!
E1b1b1-M35 is the Meditid race
It branches into 3 subraces:
E1b1b1a-M78 Hamitid
E1b1b1b-M81 Berberid
E1b1b1c-M123 Sarawatid
E1b1b1a-M78 Hamitid race includes Somalis who beling to the E1b1b1a1-V12 Cushid group of the Hamitid subrace, while E1b1b1a2-V13 is the Blakanid grouping of the Hamitid subrace

Peripheral Nerve Damage with Prostate Cancer Drug May Be Predicted by a Gene Mutation
A specific genetic variant of the VAC14 gene may be involved in the development of peripheral neuropathy following taxane administration, a group of drugs commonly used for breast, ovary, lung, or prostate cancer treatment.
The findings were described in the study "Pharmacogenetic Discovery in CALGB (Alliance) 90401 and Mechanistic Validation of VAC14 Polymorphism That Increases Risk of Docetaxel-Induced Neuropathy," and published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.
Periphery neuropathy is a condition that develops as a result of damage to the peripheral nervous system (the vast network of nerve cells that transmit information between the brain and the remaining parts of the body) and is a common side effect of taxane treatment. Patients who experience this condition suffer from muscle weakness, numbness, and become abnormally sensitive – often feeling pain in response to a stimulus that does not cause pain.
To prevent unnecessary toxicity and maximize taxane efficacy, researchers at the Moffitt Cancer Center, in Tampa, Fla., studied specific mutations that could predict a patient's risk of experiencing neuropathy induced by taxane treatment, allowing for a more personalized treatment.
The investigators analyzed the DNA of 623 men who had castrate-resistant metastatic prostate cancer and participated in a randomized Phase 3 trial that included docetaxel in the treatment regimen, in order to identify genetic variations known as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) – a type of mutation in which a single nucleotide is switched by another. The authors found that 8% of the study's participants experienced grade 3-plus neuropathy, and they identified a specific SNP in the VAC14 gene that was highly associated with peripheral neuropathy development upon docetaxel administration.
To confirm the association, the research team knocked down VAC14 with an RNA silencing approach in peripheral neuronal cells. The results demonstrated that VAC14 depleted neurons were more sensitive to docetaxel, as measured by reduced neuronal branches, suggesting that the VAC14 genetic variant should be further validated as a potential risk factor for docetaxel-induced neuropathy and to determine if patients should be referred for individual treatment.
"The genetic variant of VAC14 identified in this study could be useful for understanding the mechanism of docetaxel-induced neuropathy and may be informative for avoiding docetaxel treatment in patients at elevated neuropathy risk," said Howard McLeod, medical director of the DeBartolo Family Personalized Medicine Institute at Moffitt, in a press release. "This also offers new drug development strategies to improve the outcomes for cancer patients."

Number your pieces and number the plain paper pattern to match. This is optional, only necessary if there are many pieces of similar size, shape or color.
Using scissors cut straight down the middle of the pattern lines. Important – do not make corrections in your cut. Do not trim paper from individual pieces. If you remove extra paper it will create gaps in your applique design. If you don't follow the line precisely it is okay, the matching piece will still fit snuggly against that piece, and it will be the new line. So don't worry.
Cut all border pieces straight to make sure your pattern has nice straight edges. A straight edge or paper cutter is recommended for outside edges.
Take your chosen fabric and lay it wrong side up on the ironing surface.
Cut an appropriately sized piece of fusible web and lay it sticky side down on the wrong side of your fabric.
Place your freezer paper pattern pieces shiny side down and arrange them on the paper side of the fusible web. Pay attention to the pattern or direction of your fabric so that your pieces will appear as you like when they are cut out.
Peel off the paper backing from the ironed fusible on the fabric.
Lay your freezer paper pattern pieces shiny side down on the paper backing of the fusible web. Pay attention to the pattern or direction of your fabric so that your pieces will appear as you like when they are cut out.
Cut along the edge of your freezer paper; do not cut any smaller than the freezer paper. If you cut too small it will create gaps between your pieces where you will see the background.
If you can't cut very precise always error on the larger size, not smaller. If you cut too large you can always overlap the pieces and cause no problems.
If your piece is the outside edge you can trim it so it takes the shape you want to see.
Choose your first piece and remove the freezer paper and fusible web backing.
Lay your first piece on the paper pattern (typically an edge or corner piece). Tape this piece in place to help keep your starting reference.
Remove the freezer paper and backing of the next piece and place it touching against the taped piece to assemble the applique. If you cut your piece larger you can overlap to get the desired look. Repeat until your applique is assembled. You will use scotch tape to tape the pieces to each other. You don't have to use a section of tape for each piece you can hold multiple pieces together with one section of tape. You want to be secure enough that you can transfer the applique to the background as the assembled applique.
Use the plain paper pattern as a reference to keep your edges straight and keep everything in proper alignment.
Use the pointed tool to make fine adjustment of your pieces or to help hold them in place while adding the tape.
Tape your uncut pattern to a window.
Cut your black background fabric an inch or two larger than the overall size. And tape in front of the paper pattern on the window.
Once you peel the freezer paper away place the piece to the corresponding place. You want to place your piece in the middle of the corresponding space on the paper pattern.
Repeat the process for each piece placing it in the center of the corresponding location on the paper pattern trying to keep all your spaces even. You can see through the black fabric to the paper pattern below to help keep your edges straight and keep everything in proper position.
Once all your pieces are placed, take it off of the window and place it on your table. This is when you can pick up and reposition any piece you don't feel is quite in the right place.
After checking the alignment of your applique pieces to each other and adjust any pieces if necessary.
Press down firmly on all of the pieces so that they won't move during ironing.
Lay muslin or non-stick ironing sheet over the entire applique.
Iron the entire applique using a hot dry cotton setting. (It may take up to 30 seconds per section). Don't move your iron over the pieces they may fold or move until you iron them in place. Pat to iron.
You will know if you have ironed enough if you bend the fabric and none of the pieces peel away from the background. If they do, repeat ironing.
Stitch along all edges of each piece.
You can use a straight stitch or hand stitch if this piece will not be handled or washed. Use a zigzag or satin stitch if this will be a piece for use or washed.
10. Add embroidery lines now or in quilting.
Using a straight edge square up your background.
12. Use the finished panel as desired. You can now add borders, incorporate into a quilt, make into a pillow…have fun!

Heard vs Herd
PR agency, UK-based, resolving marketing challenges
by Hamish Thompson 5th March 20199:44 am
Giant concrete hearing aids
The Greatstone Sound Mirrors, massive concrete listening devices shaped like crude ears, were built in marshland in Kent in the late 1920s as part of Britain's national defence strategy. The ears pointed towards the European mainland.
They look a bit like stone age satellite dishes, though a bit harder to move about.
The ears were an attempt to "hear" approaching enemy aircraft. Sound waves generated by anything flying towards them were captured in these huge concrete bowls, then relayed back through microphones and (in a glorious Heath-Robinson touch) a stethoscope to an operator who would raise the alarm.
These massive ears effectively gave Britain a fifteen-minute warning of an impending attack.
It seems mad but they actually worked, though they couldn't tell the difference between various aircraft. A squawking bird, and innocent jaunt in a biplane with a picnic hamper in the back seat or an excursion in one of those motorised balloons would sound the same as something considerably more threatening. They're a Dad's Armyish idea – like Godfrey's ears.
There were some portable versions too:
And some slightly less portable:
The creation of better, faster aircraft made them less useful, as an incoming aircraft would be within sight by the time it had been located. Growing levels of ambient noise also made the mirrors more difficult to use successfully. Soon radar made acoustic detection redundant.
They are huge. There is a 20ft vertical saucer, a 30ft bowl, tilted to the sky, and a mammoth 200 ft long strip mirror.
It's a fantastic example of the application of creativity to solve a problem that lacked a technical solution. You can imagine the discussions leading up to it and the "it might just work" moment. I love the coconut shell experimentation of it, married with the scale.
The other thing that struck me was the idea that, even then, in the sedate Thirties, ambient noise got in the way. Imagine how much noise would interfere today. A fancy dress barbecue with mobile disco chez Farages in Kent might set off Britain's national defences. Now there's a thought.
Ambient noise and distractions really are a contemporary curse. Filtering through all that we are exposed to and pinpointing the things that really matter is very hard indeed. As communicators, we've become accustomed to the blunderbuss approach, hoping for what we call 'traction', and losing touch in the process of what really matters to the recipient.
We've come to associate 'reach' with numbers rather than outcomes. It's worth pausing and considering what the recipient, the individual, might want to hear – and more importantly, why. The art is in saying something that will make people sit up an listen. Otherwise we are liable to get lost in the sea of noise.

Petroleum Development Oman Discovers Three New Oil Fields
Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) announces the discovery of three oil fields. One field, named Budour Northeast, is located in the Birba area of south Oman. The other two discoveries are extensions of the Ufuq and Dafiq fields, whose discovery was originally announced last year.
"These new fields will contribute to the sustainability of PDO's oil production", says John Malcolm, PDO Managing Director. "They have been hooked up rapidly to our pipeline infrastructure, adding to PDO's production in the short term while delivering valuable production data for the fields' longer-term development."
The Budour NE field will be appraised this year on the basis of a long-term production test of the discovery well and the drilling of two or three additional wells. But initial indications are that the field contains a significant quantity of good-quality oil. The discovery well revealed that the field, at a depth of about three kilometers, contained oil along a vertical distance of 67 meters. And a preliminary test showed that it could produce at a stable rate of 8000 barrels per day.
The other two discoveries "" in the north of the country lying at depths of about 1500 meters "" are hooked up for long-term production testing with a view to developing them as part of the plans being drawn up for the earlier Ufuq and Dafiq discoveries.
Dr Martin Stauble, Exploration Director of PDO, commented: "Budour NE will join the Birba, Harweel and Al Noor fields as the fourth major development based on the south Oman intra-salt carbonate formations. It is an important discovery, not only because of its significant size but also because it opens several new avenues for exploration. The Ufuq and Dafiq extensions, in turn, confirm the geological trends we had mapped in north Oman. They too provide strong encouragement for further exploration drilling, which we have planned for 2007 and 2008."
Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) is the major exploration and production company in the Sultanate. It accounts for about 90% of the country's crude-oil production and nearly all of its natural-gas supply. The Company is owned by the Government of Oman (which has a 60% interest), the Shell Group (which has a 34% interest), Total (which has a 4% interest) and Partex (which has a 2% interest). Gas fields are operated by PDO exclusively on behalf of the Omani Government.

20 Best Mindfuck Movies That You Should Watching Update 01/2023
Posted on December 9, 2021 by [email protected]
The vast majority of films released today follow a predetermined plot line. There is a beginning, a middle, and an end to each of these stories. Films that deviate from popular wisdom are rare, yet they happen every so often. Their own story arcs, with no beginning and no finish are the norm for them. I refer to these films as mind fucks. It's a twenty-first century invention! Although mind-boggling films existed before to the success of The Matrix and Memento, it appears that producers learned that there is a large audience for such films following their success. So, what exactly are these "mind-fucking movies"? Any film that messes with your head is eligible for the title! So it's that simple.
As a fan of screwed up movies, I'm sure you'll enjoy this list. Listed here are the best mind-boggling films ever filmed. These mind-boggling films may be viewed on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime. Let us know which one you like most.
20. Time Lapse (2014)
Three people discover a camera that shoots pictures of the next day, i.e., the future. The premise is promising. Fast-paced and well-executed, the picture more than makes up for a few storyline gaps. However, the director has done an excellent job of building tension and dread throughout the film's runtime. The film has its gloomy moments. In addition, this is his first time behind the camera as a filmmaker. King, Bradley. The name is important.
19. Triangle (2009)
This suspenseful thriller in the form of a twilight zone has a haunting score and is expertly crafted. Keep in mind that this film is difficult to follow, so pay attention to every little detail. A dreamlike quality permeates the film's direction and photography, making it reminiscent of David Lynch's work. It's well worth your time to read this gripping psychological thriller.
18. The Double (2011)
What happens when an introverted, depressed employee meets his doppelganger, a vibrant and exuberant coworker, in his place of employment? Despite Simon's introversion, James, a well-liked and well-respected coworker, helps him get to know Hannah (Mia Wasikowska), his attractive coworker. In Simon's horror, James begins to encroach on his personal and professional life. 'The Double' is gripping from beginning to end — and even after that.
17. Identity (2003)
'Identity,' despite receiving a drubbing from critics, has become a cult favorite for good reason. That being said, the picture is not without its shortcomings. As they know that they're all going to be slaughtered one by one, eleven strangers find themselves stranded in an isolated Nevada motel during a rainstorm. Until the final scene, the film toys with the thoughts of its characters as well as its audience.
16. Predestination (2014)
When it comes to time travel movies, 'predestination' is an appropriate reality. From 1945 to 1993 it depicts a time-traveling traveler in search of the fizzle bomber. A "temporal agent" (Ethan Hawke) and a "predestination" (Sarah Snook) are depicted in the film. The opening scene is a paradox since it mixes a three-generation time-loop. 'Predestination' leaves you with a jumbled brain at the end.
15. Source Code (2011)
'Source Code' by Duncan Jones, the director of 'Moon,' is a film that leaves us more than a little baffled. Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a pilot and part of a secret government program that allows him to relive the last few minutes of another man's life, who was killed in a railway explosion. To catch the bomber, Stevens will have to go through a lot of hoops, the least of which is the limited amount of time available to him. In 'Source Code,' we get a fresh take on time travel, and it's done well.
14. The Butterfly Effect (2004)
Chaos theory states that even a seemingly insignificant occurrence can have far-reaching consequences. This notion had never been made into a film before before Eric Bress and Mackye Gruber did it. Due to excruciating head pain, Evan (Ashton Kutcher) is frequently transported back in time to make changes in his own life and the lives of others. As a result, Evan finds himself in ghastly alternative universes when he discovers that little adjustments in the past can have a profound effect on the present. Despite its flaws, it's a fascinating film.
13. Mr. Nobody (2009)
Choices. There are so many options and decisions that we have to make during our lives, isn't that true? An engaging picture with captivating graphics and intriguing possibilities is born from the simple premise that a little kid must choose between staying with his mother or moving in with his father. Critics savaged the film, but don't take their word for it. This is a film that will last for generations to come.
12. The Machinist (2004)
Trevor, a machinist, hasn't slept in a year because of his sleeplessness. In a year, that's what you're looking at. Is there a way to wake up when you're not asleep? His remarkable physical metamorphosis serves as a highlight and adds realism to Christian Bale's portrayal of the legendary character. It's almost impossible to shake the image of Bale's weak and emasculated figure from your mind.
11. Coherence (2013)
'Coherence', a novel about eight friends at a dinner party, is based on a scientific hypothesis known as Schrödinger's cat theory, which describes a chain of events that defies logic. In 1935, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger invented Schrödinger's cat, a thought experiment that is frequently referred to as a paradox. This means that there is a chance of several worlds coexisting at the same moment. Based on an even more fascinating concept, this is a fascinating film.
10. Primer (2004)
'Primer' is more than a movie; it's a complex scientific problem. In order to truly comprehend the film, numerous viewings are required — individuals who claim to have "got" the film in the first watching are either lying or being smug. Don't be shocked if you feel delighted and victorious when you eventually "understand" the film, similar to how you feel after you solve a challenging puzzle. I've never seen a film that was so tough to follow in one watching in my whole movie-going history.
9. Upstream Color (2013)
Filmmakers like Terrence Malick and David Lynch influence 'Upstream Color's cinematic style. Though Malick's unusual aesthetic is evident, the filmmaking quality is more in line with David Lynch's surrealistic realism. A synapse-fired spark is required to comprehend this film's plot in its purest form. Shane Carruth's genius will blow your mind if you comprehend it.
8. The Gift (2015)
As interest in domestic psychological thrillers has grown with the release of 'Gone Girl,' here's another underappreciated entry in the category. 'Arrested Development' Michael Bluth, our guy next door, Jason Bateman, the amusing, fumbling Michael Bluth, has never been so good in a dark role. A fantastic film that begins as a stalker thriller before veering off into more sinister territory. Characteristics of both the protagonist and antagonist are muddled. Throughout the course of The Gift, you'll be filled with a sense of dread.
Joel Edgerton, the film's director and star, directs and plays the antagonist opposite Jason Bateman's character, and it's their distinct, opposing, and unpredictable personality traits that help to obscure and obscure the plot's development for the audience. When it comes to predicting what will happen next, we're completely stumped.
Bateman's connection with his wife and his old high school classmate is a little ambiguous and incredibly disturbing, but the film's focus is on three characters: Bateman, his wife, and his high school classmate. Initially, the couple is all smiles and talk fairly formally, but shortly after this new acquaintance begins to cling to them, trying to influence their private and personal moments and making their lives uncomfortable. In what may be one of the most unique twists in recent years, this film unveils its twist layer by layer, all the while making the audience feel utterly powerless and helpless.
7. Enemy (2013)
When an underachieving actor who looks exactly like him turns out to be an actual person, the story of "Enemy" begins. The protagonist's plight is symbolized by spiders and webs in this tough investigation of the mind. One of the most complicated stories, with many interpretations by fans and reviewers alike, the film has been widely acclaimed. "Chaos is order yet undeciphered," read the opening caption of the film.
With a distinct lead and a few distinguishable turns of events, we can follow the full runtime even though it presents a slew of circumstances that all make little sense with incoherence everywhere. The film is left up to the audience to decide whether or not it succeeds in captivating them with its narrative technique and great performances. Who or what is the spider in the climax representing? What is the significance of the last act in the lives of the actor and the teacher, and why is their relationship so strange? The clues are there, but sadly, I haven't spotted any of them myself. Then again, I don't believe every film story has to be resolved in the film's running time.
Because the story is loose, but its presence is felt, like the solution that isn't clear in Michael Haneke's "Cache," "Enemy's success is that it gives you something to think about, because even if the plot is loose, its presence is very much felt" (2005). Both the photography and the direction contribute to the film's claustrophobic feel.
6. Shutter Island (2010)
One of the most dangerous patients at the AsheCliff Institution for the Criminally Insane on Shutter Island has escaped, but is hidden someplace in the hospital. Teddy and Chuck, two investigators, arrive on the island and begin searching for clues. Everyone is considered a suspect. All the way down to Teddy. The psychological thriller directed by Martin Scorsese keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.
With a few pals, we were all on the edge of our seats when we first saw "Shutter Island." This is a trend I've noticed in a lot of the thrillers that have appeared on this list, and it's based on the fact that they always feature a twist that radically alters what you thought you knew about the picture. You can't tell for sure if the characters you thought you knew ended up in a completely different direction because of natural causes or a capitulation to a system that is too powerful to resist.
The film's entertainment value resides in the surprise finale, which forces the viewer to reevaluate what they've just watched. The performances by Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo are some of the best in Scorsese's oeuvre, with the last act carried out well by both actors. Despite my reservations, I believe the revelation at the end was done so as to be more impactful.
5. Donnie Darko (2001)
With an expansive imagination of a wealthy young man, 'Donnie Darko' is one of the most imaginative films ever made. "Donnie Darko" is about a teenage rebel named "Donnie" who pays homage to works such as "The Catcher in the Rye" and manages to inject levity into threatening situations and people. 'Donnie Darko' is a one-of-a-kind film. Few films, if any, are as jam-packed with fantastic concepts despite the fact that they are thick and practically hard to absorb in a single watching.
In order to tell the story of a death and the events leading up to it, 'Donnie Darko' relies on both strong visual and narrative aspects. The film manages to seamlessly apply its principles in a story that is anything but conventional. With Jake Gyllenhaal as the protagonist, it's evident that he's got an issue. In his nightmares, bizarre visions arrive and force him to perform things without his will. He is concerned. Although I can never be sure of anything, I've created a connection between this film and the idea of silent human ties as an interpretation of the film's subtle but stunning hint to despair. With Gary Jules' rendition of "Mad World" playing over some images that etch themselves into your mind, the film's final scenes are both haunting and perplexing, since they signify that the plot you have just witnessed unravel may, in the end, make sense upon a final, deeper analysis of the film. Gary Jules' rendition of the song
4. Interstellar (2014)
Black holes, warm holes, the theory of relativity, the 5th dimension, and space-time warping are all discussed in great detail in 'Interstellar'. You'll be blown away by the visuals even if you don't lose your mind trying to grasp the theories themselves. 'Interstellar' is visually stunning and technologically impressive, with some of the best sights you've ever seen on film.
In spite of the fact that the storyline of "Interstellar" could have easily devolved into a documentary, the film is saved from that fate by a cast of memorable characters. There's a father who's convinced he's right, a daughter who's worried about him while he's in space with a group of astronauts, a crew member who has a romantic history you can relate to, and so on. Stunning shots like the iconic frozen beach sequence, in which a wave ready to crash appears trapped in its own planetary time that differs from that of the characters, are part of the film's remarkable cinematography. However, the film's scientific veracity has been called into question on numerous times, although that does not detract from the film's overall quality.
The final act includes yet another series of visually stunning sequences. Even though it is an extraordinary journey, the only flaw I can find is the inclusion of a guest star about halfway through, whose actions are anticipated and hence irrelevant and feel forced. Otherwise, it's astonishing that a movie like this was made at all.
3. Memento (2000)
In 'Memento,' the audience is teased, tested, and challenged in a way that few films can accomplish. "Memento" may not have the greatest power in its jigsaw narration, but rather in its ability to surprise and move the audience—a characteristic that director Christopher Nolan consistently strives for, even if he doesn't always succeed. As a filmmaking example, "Memento" is also a good example of how huge doesn't always equal better; little can be just as good. It would be wonderful if Christopher Nolan, who is known for making mind-boggling films, could return to making intimate and spectacular works of art like this one.
However, I don't think it's the director's most mind-blowing film, despite the fact that it doesn't lack much in the way of visual flair. Backward, forward, and intercut storytelling techniques are employed by Nolan to try and put the audience in the thoughts of its main character as his extreme short-term memory loss prevents him from recalling recently witnessed faces or experiences. Our hero remains blind to their true colors when the putative enemies appear right in front of him, even though we know their genuine identity. This is a disturbing experience for the viewer. Because of this, his character has been elevated to the top of Nolan's most well-written characters.
The twist in the middle of the novel, when the hero's history and future finally come together, is my favorite part of this masterpiece.
2. Mulholland Drive (2001)
Even 15 years after its first release, 'Mulholland Drive' remains a topic of conversation because it offers the greatest cinematic enigma ever. To date, "Mulholland Dr." is David Lynch's best work to date. The film has a haunting quality that makes it feel like a prolonged mood opera. It's one of those movies whose themes of identity and delusion will linger with you for a long time. The film 'Mulholland Dr.,' which stars Naomi Watts in one of her all-time best performances, is a mind-blowing experience.
If I'm not mistaken, I've seen "Mulholland Drive" at least seven times already, and I can't claim I've figured out anything. To put it another way, I only watch Lynch's masterwork because I enjoy the sensation of watching it, which is like walking into an eerie lucid dream, with characters that at first appear to be plastic or even false; but as they mature, their experiences get more frightening. In this film, there is nothing that feels real, nothing that seems too unbelievable to be true. In reality, it's nothing more than an idealized version of the celebrity lifestyle. A possible critique of the mysteries that reign supreme in the dark regions of the globe may be the case. Human sexuality may be the subject of investigation. I don't know for sure, but it does feel like a film that touches on every facet of its subject matter, even if just tangentially.
'Inland Empire' (2006) by David Lynch, which I could have placed on this list had it been longer, is a spiritual sequel to this picture and is worth a look, though of course, this is the superior film to see.
1. Inception (2010)
Most people who saw 'Inception' for the first time in a movie theater were slightly unnerved by the experience. Although the video is only two and a half hours long, the conversation surrounding it continued for weeks. Those debates continue to rage on the internet in some places. "Inception" is the only movie on our list that fits the description of a mind-fucking movie better than any other.
A lot of these movies have to do with the things that pop into our heads as we're ready for bed, and 'Inception' is no exception. This is a movie about a man who goes into other people's dreams in order to influence their real-life thoughts and decisions, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead. As a result, the film focuses on one of their most difficult and perilous missions. When the protagonists appear to have walked out of the mind of the person they entered in order to warp, the question becomes one of whether or not they are still in the dream at the conclusion. Confusion has arisen due in large part to the renowned top scene. Does the closing scene really take place in a dream? Is it really that important?

AB-2367 Driving under the influence: 24/7 Sobriety program.(2015-2016)
Current Version: 04/20/16 - Amended Assembly Compared to Version: 04/20/16 - Amended Assembly 04/11/16 - Amended Assembly 03/28/16 - Amended Assembly 02/18/16 - Introduced
AB2367:v96#DOCUMENT
Amended IN Assembly April 20, 2016
Amended IN Assembly March 28, 2016
Introduced by Assembly Member Cooley
An act to add and repeal Section 23583 of the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles.
AB 2367, as amended, Cooley. Driving under the influence: 24/7 Sobriety program.
Existing law prohibits a person who has 0.08% or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood from driving a vehicle. Existing law also prohibits a person, while having 0.08% or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood from driving a vehicle and concurrently doing any act forbidden by law, or neglecting any duty imposed by law in driving the vehicle, when the act or neglect proximately causes bodily injury to a person other than the driver. A violation of either of these prohibitions is a crime. Existing law authorizes a court, in addition to imposing penalties and sanctions for those violations, to require the person to enroll and participate in, and successfully complete, a driving-under-the-influence program, which may include, among other things, education, group counseling, and individual interview sessions.
This bill would authorize the court to order a person convicted of a crime described above to enroll and participate in, and successfully complete, a qualified "24/7 Sobriety" monitoring program, as defined, as a condition of probation, if the program is available and deemed appropriate, and the person committed the crime within 10 years of one or more separate crimes described above that resulted in a conviction. The bill would define a "24/7 Sobriety program," in part, as requiring a person in the program to abstain from alcohol and unauthorized controlled substances and be subject to frequent testing for alcohol and controlled substances, as specified. The bill would require a person participating in the program to pay the program costs, commensurate with the person's ability to pay, as specified. The bill would provide that a person in the program may obtain a temporary restricted driver's license upon proof of insurance, as specified. The bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to study and report to the Legislature by January 1, 2020, on the success of the 24/7 Sobriety program in reducing the driving-under-the-influence recidivism rate in counties where it is used. These provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2021.
The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(a) Alcohol consumption and driving under the influence impose enormous health and safety costs on California. Problem drinkers account for a disproportionate share of these costs. California has had success with its current approach to driving under the influence by lowering blood alcohol concentration limits and by focusing on reducing the likelihood that individuals drive while intoxicated. However, California has been less successful at targeting those with an underlying alcohol problem that makes them more likely to consistently drive while impaired.
(b) Those with previous convictions for driving under the influence are far more likely to recidivate than first-time offenders. Moreover, these people are disproportionately involved in alcohol-related traffic fatalities and are likely to have a diagnosis of alcohol dependence.
(c) In 2005, South Dakota started a pilot program called "24/7 Sobriety" and required those arrested for or convicted of alcohol-related offenses to take twice-a-day breathalyzer tests or wear a continuous alcohol monitoring bracelet. Those who fail or skip their tests are immediately subject to certain but modest sanctions, typically a day or two in jail. After a five-county pilot project, the program grew to include more jurisdictions and offenses. Studies have found that the total number of repeat driving-under-the-influence arrests in counties operating the program fell by 12 percent, and the total number of arrests for domestic violence dropped by 9 percent.
Section 23583 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:
(a) (1) In order to strengthen the posttrial options available to prosecutors and judges, the court may order a person convicted of a violation of Section 23152 or 23153 to enroll and participate in, and successfully complete, a qualified "24/7 Sobriety" monitoring program as a condition of probation, if the program is available and deemed appropriate, and the person committed the current violation within 10 years of one or more separate violations of Section 23152 or 23153 that resulted in a conviction.
(2) For purposes of this section, a "24/7 Sobriety program" requires a person in the program to abstain from alcohol and unauthorized controlled substances and requires the person to be subject to frequent testing for alcohol or controlled substances, with certain but modest punishment for violations of the program. The methodology for the program shall be evidence-based. Persons ordered into the program may also be required to participate in other driving-under-the-influence programs as provided by other law. The program shall be licensed pursuant to Section 11836 of the Health and Safety Code.
(3) For purposes of this subdivision, the term "evidence-based program" means a program that satisfies the requirements of at least two of the following:

I actually had a peek at your Etsy store earlier today while I was at work. I drooled over all your new stuff and was anticipating this blog post ;o) Well done for getting started on Sense of Fashion too, hope it goes well!
Love the fabric choice for the cute jumper!
Marie - Thank you for checking out my etsy :) I'm glad other people are as excited about it as I am!
That is so pretty...love the fabrics!
Thank you! They are vintage buttons I found at a thrift shop. They were a total steal, but I wish they had more, only 5 on the card.

Q: Not sure how to make this component rerender Snack I have created a bar chart in react native that takes user input and adjusts accordingly.

For instance, If user inputs Less Than 10, only bar components less than the user entered value show up. If user enters greater than 10, user entered value greater than 10 show up.
The issue here is that the component instance is not rerendering post user selections. If I select less than 10 once, I cannot select less than 20 again the second time around. Bar component containing the value 20 is not simply there.

Is there any way to make this barchart rerender everytime a user inputs a new value and selects a new less than/greater than picker option?

A: First I think the logic inside applyFilter is incorrect why?
datas are the filtered data (in the first it's all records, but if you apply filters then datas will be filtered records, so next time you use the filtered data, not all data) not all the data records, so you should have to keep all the records, somewhere and you cant change it, because  you have to filter from the all of the records.
Then we should have a function to be called every time when lessThanOrGreaterThan or filterLimit change
useEffect(() => {
    applyFilter();
}, [lessThanOrGreaterThan, filterLimit]);

updated example
If you want to rerender the graph when a user click on the APPLY FILTER button then you don't need above useEffect, only thing you need to do is keep all the data record in non-changeable place and filter those all records based on the selected filters, and set to the state.

Over the past few years, cloud computing has become increasingly popular for businesses everywhere. Companies such as SalesForce.com, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other tech giants have created must-have cloud solutions for businesses all over the world. However, there are still many companies hesitant to embracing this technology or are simply resistant to change. Here are some reasons why every business must consider cloud-based technology for their organizations.
When employees have the flexibility to access the information they need from anywhere on any device, they have a higher likelihood to perform more effectively and reach their deadlines. In one study conducted in 2012, Hatem, Kwan, and Miles demonstrate this by administering a simple construction design task to two groups of people; one that worked in a face to face environment and the other that used instant messaging on their computers. Those using instant messaging were found to be more effective in this task.
In today's workforce, we value diversity so we can learn from one another's cultures and ethnicities which gives us an advantage in the business world. However, one understated concern regarding diversity is maintaining equal communication throughout a multicultural team due to discrimination and the fact that certain cultures are more reserved than others and may have different styles of communication. Berg (2012) looked into this further in her research. She assigned two teams to complete a task in two settings; face-to-face and working virtually/anonymously. She found that those who worked virtually communicated in a significantly more balanced, effective manner.
In any organization, time is money. Without technology, it takes a longer time to access the company information one needs to complete the task he or she is assigned to. Many times, this information can only be found by asking another co-worker or by looking through documentation. Technology reduces the time involved in both cases. In 2007, Garrett and Danziger studied how distracting instant messaging was for employees. They conducted a study using two groups, those who had access to instant messaging and those who did not. What they found was that those who used instant messaging had an ability to access task relevant information much quicker compared to those who didn't. Whether it is instant messaging, a CRM, or an ERP, retrieving information instantly is priceless.
Employee turnover is expensive and the job market is competitive. To hire top talent and keep them happy, cloud-computing is imperative as it is proven to keep employees happier compared to those firms who lack this technology. When there is an option to occasionally work from home or have access to information anywhere, employees can work in a more flexible, relaxed environment. In 2013, Dykshoorn and Nemani analyzed over 60 sources of information and found that there is a significant amount of synergy between employee engagement and cloud computing.
In summary, when employee turnover is reduced, miscommunication is eliminated, and tasks are being completed at a faster pace, expenses are reduced, revenue potentially increases, and profitability grows. Whether it is a SaaS (software as a service), IaaS (infrastructure as a service), or PaaS (platform as a service), the benefits outweigh the costs.
Disclaimer: This is not to say that all cloud solutions are created equal. Make sure you do your research and choose a company that protects your business sensitive information.

Das bessere Leben
[The Better Life]
Reality as a chain of fuck-ups
Ulrich Peltzer's pan-dimensional novel of our times
Ulrich Peltzer is unique within contemporary German literature: a writer who can thread theoretical knowledge, the potential for social diagnosis, and skilled storytelling into a tightly woven whole. It is always exciting to read his novels as we learn about the times we are living in. On a purely technical level, his novel The Better Life can take its place alongside the great works of classic modernism such as Joyce or Döblin, the only difference being that here the figures' awareness of their situation seems to have changed. Has the world become more complex during the past hundred years? Or have the patterns of complexity simply shifted?
Two main figures build the narrative, both in their mid-fifties, both earning their money in the global economy. If his business card is to be believed, Sylvester Lee Fleming, born in the UK, raised in the US and now at home all over the world, is involved in insurance. He is, amongst other things, but mainly he is a kind of fundraiser, one however, who first generates the situations he then assists with. The other protagonist is Jochen Brockmann who, like Ulrich Peltzer, comes from the Lower Rhine district. His field of operations is much more conventional. He is sales manager of an ailing Italian business which makes something very physical: machinery for coating textiles and metals.
A large supporting cast is grouped around both Brockmann and Fleming: friends, former companions, family, lovers and ex-wives, a constant whirlwind of voices speaking, in the heads of others and personally, from various phases of the protagonists' lives. All this is narrated using hard cuts, with economies and ellipses. This is nothing new, but it is highly expressive and effective. In order to avoid allowing his cast to degenerate into mere types, Peltzer has given his two protagonists history, in Sylvester Lee Fleming's case perhaps a destiny too.
Fleming witnessed and was involved in the Kent State Massacre of 4 May 1970 in which the Ohio National Guard shot four students dead during a demonstration at Kent State University against US foreign policy in Vietnam. Fleming was bound to one of the victims, Allison Krause, by shared political convictions and a tremendous love. Brockmann on the other hand, son of a doctor couple recalls the provincial left-wing, anarchist scene of his youth.
The Better Life is neither a big business novel nor a swansong for left-wing ideals. Peltzer is haunted by the question of what might make an economically stable, materially secure, cushioned life – a good life in other words – better. He has a deep distrust of ostensibly unavoidable categories such as chronology and historical causality. As Fleming lies alone in a hotel bed in Sao Paolo his thoughts drift: "Reality was a chain of fuck-ups, of inconsequential moments and spontaneous decisions which later – most people didn't understand this – became set in stone… Became plausible connections between A and B…"
Ulrich Peltzer has perfected the stylistic technique of reported speech. The astounding thing about The Better Life is the virtuoso interchange between scenic concision and verbal soundwaves which the reader can surf for pages before being brought up abruptly again by something thoroughly concrete. Each scene is elaborated precisely, the motifs carefully interlinked, although every time the figures' paths cross it appears wholly coincidental. Peltzer does not make judgements. He does not wish to lecture, simply to represent. He shows characters caught up in love, art, politics and the global economy. And he dramatizes the loss of conscience, without the figures' hollowness rendering the story banal.
The Better Life has turned out to be precisely the novel it was meant to, a complex book, full of strong images, and above all ideologically open. And thus, in its radical indifference to opinion, a highly political book.

Ulrich Peltzer, The Better Life
A metaphysical thriller on the 21st century and the ghosts of the past
At universities in the US, in Frankfurt, in Moscow young people once discussed, fought for, and tried to live a more just world and a better future. But their hopes have gone up in smoke; history took a different path; progress is uncertain. We live in an apparently incomprehensible world: the former revolutionaries have become managers, caught up in dubious deals between Milan, South America, and China. Have they betrayed their ideals? What does it mean to lead a good life in this world? What would a better life be?
Jochen Brockmann is a sales manager. But the bank is no longer offering loans, Indonesia isn't investing, China has made a take-over bid. Then Sylvester Lee Fleming appears on the scene, as saviour, seducer, tempter. Has he been sent by the devil or is he merely a psycho?

CPUSA co-chair Rossana Cambron sees potential for transformative moment in history
July 29, 2020	12:40 PM CST By John Bachtell

LOS ANGELES – As Rossana Cambron contemplates the multiple crises and threats to democracy facing the nation, the Communist Party USA co-chair is gripped with urgency. But she also sees much to be excited about and the potential for a transformative moment.
"All these social and democratic movements are coming together, there's a deeper understanding about injustice, especially police brutality against Black people, and growing interest in socialism. And I see an incredible desire for people to get involved," she said.
Cambron, who resides in Los Angeles, also leads the CPUSA Organization Department. She manages to balance outreach to the burst of new members with protest caravans and voter mobilization to defeat Trump. She took a break to answer some questions from People's World.
Like everyone, Rossana Cambron's life and daily routine were upended by the pandemic. "Your perspective changes during times like this. I sense people are more generous, considerate, and acting in solidarity," she said.
Cambron believes she was infected by the virus early on. "I had a dry cough and heart palpitations with a sensation that something was attacking my lungs. I experienced the loss of taste and smell. I've never been sick like that before."
Rossana and her husband, Arturo, now severely restrict their social circle. This is particularly hard because it means she can't hold her newborn grandson. "I understand. It's not about me. It's about the baby. But logic and the heart don't work together well. We're all adapting," says Rossana with a laugh. Another son and his wife are expecting a baby in January.
After initially containing the COVID-19, California and Los Angeles, in particular, experienced a resurgence. In response, Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Eric Garcetti rolled back plans to reopen the economy.
The LA Unified School District, the nation's second-largest, will start the new school year entirely remotely. People are urged to shelter-in-place, and beaches, bars, and restaurants are shut down again. As a result, the infection rate is holding steady even as hospital beds and ICUs fill up.
Asked what caused the resurgence, Rossana offered a few observations. "People got tired of being at home. They forgot how dangerous the virus is," she said. "Commentators were saying, 'enough is enough,' as if the pandemic wasn't real. People can't just think about themselves and forget the consequences." But awareness, especially among young people, is growing.
Latino community hit hardest
Nationally, about 34% of COVID-19 infections are in the Latino community. In California, Latinos make up 56% of cases, and 45% of deaths. Cambron sees several reasons for this, beginning with systemic racism in all aspects of life, work, and the public health system.
"Many Latino workers don't have the luxury of working from home," she said. They are among the essential workers in agriculture, meat processing plants, warehouses, garment, and other industries where hotspots have occurred.
"Just take vendors, they can't sell their food or tamales or anything they sell via zoom. They have to go out to provide for their families. They are at high risk," she said.
Many people in the Latino community use public transportation. "They have to go to work and don't have money to buy a car. Undocumented immigrant workers won't get licenses because they don't trust DMV and worry about getting stopped. This exposes them to the virus."
Many undocumented immigrants lack access to adequate health care. Cambron recounted the story of a friend who works as a nurse at a community clinic serving undocumented immigrants with minor health issues.
"The minute they said something about the outbreak, the clinic was packed," she said. "The clinics are free or low cost, but immigrants won't go to the hospital or ER because they can't afford it. They'll turn to home remedies."
Multiple Latino families live in one house, making social distancing virtually impossible. And family members working outside the house risk exposing relatives if they bring the virus home.
And some immigrant workers without families rent a room with another family. "They'll rent half a room because rent is so high. So, if someone else is sick they have a higher chance of getting it," she said.
Due to high rents and an affordable housing shortage, 66,000 people were homeless in Los Angeles last year, a 14% increase. Of the homeless population, 35% are Latino, and 34% are African American. Again, many immigrants are fearful of accessing services because of their immigration status.
Homelessness could increase dramatically if the national moratorium on evictions is lifted. Moreover, many undocumented immigrants are denied federal assistance and are particularly vulnerable.
The state and city have a patchwork of programs to help undocumented immigrants. One program dispenses $500 to laid-off workers, but this is not enough. Besides, there are many food pantries, mutual aid groups, and the LA County Federation of Labor is distributing food.
The Latino population is overall younger, and this age group is experiencing the most significant increase in infections. "At first, especially young people were dismissive. In Orange County, the right wingers are adamant the restrictions are an infringement on their rights," she said.
"[Mexican Americans] are such a close-knit community. Our culture is about recognizing each other's presence, which means first and foremost a hug, a handshake, or some form of touching," said Cambron. "That's very difficult to do when we're asked to social distance. It's really awkward. If you don't do it, you feel like you're disrespecting people."
Cambron says the only solution to the pandemic is restarting the process and following the guidance of scientists and public health officials. This seems unlikely with Trump in the White House.
Rights reaffirmed
According to Cambron, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which returned three million acres of eastern Oklahoma to the Muscogee Creek Nation (MCN), reaffirmed Indigenous treaty rights. The earthshaking decision holds special meaning for Cambron because she traces nearly half her ancestry to the Zacatecos and Huichol Indigenous peoples in Central Mexico.
"Up until a few years ago, I had never explored the Indigenous side of me. I was all about my Mexican ancestry," Rossana said. "This was part of a colonization mindset that doesn't allow you to recognize these kinds of things. It's really important to know where you come from."
Cambron and her daughter have matching tattoos of an image combining the four elements, Earth, water, air, and fire, and the Noche Buena or Poinsettia flower. The illustration is based on an embroidery her mother taught her as a child.
"The SCOTUS decision has wide ramifications that go beyond the criminal cases that surround the issue. For Indigenous people, it means recognition and hope you can win these battles. Even though it's been hundreds of years, these treaties need to be dealt with."

Cambron said this victory is connected to the Black Lives Matter uprising. Millions are gaining a deeper understanding of racial injustices against African Americans, Indigenous, Latinos, Asians, and other oppressed peoples. The real history of the country and the intersection of slavery, the genocide of Indigenous peoples, and the theft of lands from Mexico, is becoming clear to millions.
"Overall, the BLM protests have positively impacted Indigenous and Latino communities. Latinos and African Americans have faced threats of division and being pitted against each other. But people are saying, 'we're not going to be divided.'"
The uprising has boosted the unity of all the racially oppressed communities and movements. Cambron noted the July 20 "Strike for Black Lives" brought together McDonald's workers, garment workers, and immigrant struggles under the banner of Black lives.
"Great! People are seeing it as their struggle as well, and 'an injustice to one is an injustice to all,'" she said.
"As Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, 'Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter,'" Cambron said. "This moment calls for everyone to do something, don't be silent."
She knows some have hesitations about the Biden campaign. "This is a strategic action to remove Trump. The moment calls upon us to look beyond ourselves and do what's best for all of us. This is why we need a massive voter turnout in November, a victory margin so undeniable it cannot be contested."
All that's going on, including the rapid growth in the CPUSA, gives Rossana Cambron a lot of hope, even though she can't hold her grandbaby. At least not for the time being.

'Outlaw King', 'Terminator' to open and close Toronto film fest
Thompson eyes lead role in 'Lady and the Tramp'
LOS ANGELES, Aug 15, (RTRS): "Outlaw King", a biopic about Scottish hero Robert the Bruce, and "Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy", a look at an infamous literary fabulist, will both screen at this year's Toronto International Film Festival.
The "Hell or High Water" team of director David MacKenzie and Chris Pine reunite for "Outlaw King", which will be the opening night gala presentation. It's being billed as a David-versus-Goliath story, one that chronicles the Bruce's transformation from defeated nobleman to defiant freedom fighter.
"Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy" stars Laura Dern as an author who adopts a fictitious persona of JT LeRoy. After her book tops the best-seller list and JT LeRoy becomes an object of fixation among the literary set, she's forced to come to terms with the consequences of her creative nom-de-plume. Kristen Stewart co-stars in the film. "Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy" will be the festival's closing night offering.
In addition, Toronto unveiled 100 more features and short films that will screen as part of its lineup. They include such notable additions as Joel Edgerton's "Boy Erased", a drama about conversion therapy that stars Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Lucas Hedges; Sam Taylor-Johnson's "A Million Little Pieces", an adaptation of James Frey's controversial and factually challenged memoir of the same name; and Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's "Never Look Away", the German director's attempt to wash off the stink left over from the debacle that was "The Tourist".
Actor and comedian Jonah Hill's directorial debut "Mid90s" has earned a berth at the festival, as has "Teen Spirit", which marks the first time behind the camera for Max Minghella, son of "The English Patient" director Anthony Minghella.
"Outlaw King" also stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Florence Pugh, and Billy Howle. Netflix backed the film. Its inclusion is notable because the streaming service was shunned by Cannes, which barred its films from competition because they largely forgo theaters. The company is being welcomed by Toronto – Netflix will release seven films at the gathering, including Paul Greengrass' "July 22" and Nicole Holofcener's "The Land of Steady Habits".
Justin Kelly directs "Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy" and the film also features Diane Kruger, Jim Sturgess, Kelvin Harrison Jr, and Courtney Love.
The festival runs from Sept 6-16. Toronto, know as TIFF around the industry, has previously unveiled much of its slate. The list of Oscar contenders making the trek to Canada includes Bradley Cooper's "A Star is Born", Alfonso Cuaron's "Roma" and Damien Chazelle's "First Man". The gathering is seen as a critical awards season stop. Oscar darlings such as "Gravity", "The Shape of Water" and "Moonlight" have all bolstered their plaudits chances by premiering up north.
LOS ANGELES: The trailer for Avi Nesher's "The Other Story" has been released after it was announced Tuesday that the film will world premiere in the Contemporary World Cinema section of the Toronto Film Festival.
The screenplay was co-written by Nesher and Noam Shpancer, the clinical psychologist and novelist. It is based on a true story. It centers on two rebellious young women, one fleeing the chaos of secular hedonism for the disciplined comforts of religion; the other desperate to escape her oppressive religious upbringing and embrace spiritual freedom.
"Both women must confront the tension between self-assertion and tribal affiliation as they negotiate dueling fundamental human desires: to be, and to belong," Nesher said in a statement.
The film stars Tribeca Film Festival best actress award winner Joy Rieger, and European Academy best actor award winner Sasson Gabai.
Each of Nesher's most recent four features – "The Secrets", "The Matchmaker", "The Wonders" and "Past Life" – had its world premiere at Toronto.
LOS ANGELES: Tessa Thompson is in negotiations to voice the title role in Disney's live-action adaptation of "Lady and the Tramp".
Justin Theroux will voice the Tramp. Kiersey Clemons is also on board.
Majority of the cast will play CGI characters, similar to Disney's wildly successful adaptations of "Beauty and the Beast" and "Jungle Book". "Lady and the Tramp" tells the story of an American Cocker Spaniel named Lady who lives with a upper-middle-class family, but is set astray when the family has a baby. Lady ends up meeting a mongrel known as the Tramp on the streets. They embark on a romantic journey and eventually fall in love.
"The Lego Ninjago Movie" filmmaker Charlie Bean is directing the remake. It is expected to debut on Disney's upcoming digital streaming service, which launches in 2019. Andrew Bujalski wrote the script, Jessica Virtue and Chaz Salembier are overseeing for Disney.
Thompson previously starred opposite Chris Hemsworth in Disney-Marvel's "Thor: Ragnarok". She was most recently in "Sorry to Bother You" and the HBO series "Westworld". Thompson can be seen next in "Creed 2". She is also re-teaming with Hemsworth in the new "Men in Black" spin-off.
