Brava! BBC announces Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor
Filed under: Con Culture, Sci-Fi Café, TV — 1 Comment
You really can't beat waking up to the biggest entertainment news of the year. Yesterday the BBC teased that we'd see a reveal of the next Doctor on Doctor Who, the 13th Doctor, to take over for the lead role of the iconic 54-year science fiction franchise currently played by Peter Capaldi. After the men's Wimbledon final today, the BBC released the big news: Finally, the BBC is breaking new ground, for the first time casting an actress as the next Doctor–a woman in the role played previously by 13 men on television (counting unnumbered War Doctor John Hurt), and not only a woman, but a great genre actress at that–35-year-old Jodie Whittaker, who hails from West Yorkshire.
Whittaker is best known for her starring role along with Star Wars: The Force Awakens' John Boyega in the science fiction cult classic Attack the Block. She also was featured in the great British ghost story series Marchlands and most recently in the drama Broadchurch. Replacing Doctor Who's showrunner Steven Moffat is the previously announced Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall. Whittaker said in an announcement today, "I'm beyond excited to begin this epic journey – with Chris and with every Whovian on this planet…. It's more than an honour to play the Doctor. It means remembering everyone I used to be, while stepping forward to embrace everything the Doctor stands for: hope. I can't wait."
When David Tenant regenerated into Matt Smith for Smith to become the eleventh Doctor on the series, Smith's Doctor initially thought he was female because of his hair, teasing fans a bit and planting the seed for a gender change to be coming in the near future. "I'm a girl!" he shouted. Also, the addition of a female Master (Michelle Gomez) in recent seasons helped prepare viewers for the change.
Check out yesterday's teaser, followed by the big reveal:

Blast from the Past–Think you've seen enough of the BBC's Sherlock?
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Retro Fix, TV — Leave a comment
While we're waiting around to find out if we'll see more of the BBC's Sherlock, here's something worth watching. This weekend Benedict Cumberbatch posted on Facebook a link to the unaired pilot for the series. If you're a diehard fan, here's a way to catch a different look at the beginning of Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman's John Watson as they created the chemistry the show is celebrated for across the globe.
"A Study in Pink" was re-shot from the 2009 pilot, tightening up bits and pieces only slightly and in subtle ways so you may think you notice a big difference from the version that first aired in the U.S. on October 24, 2010. It's been available on the DVD and Blu-ray releases, but only now has the show's star pointed out the availability of the free streaming version. This version never aired in the U.K. and wasn't part of the original airings on PBS in the States.
This early poster shows the look of the actors you'll find in the pilot:
The now familiar music wasn't yet integrated in such a boisterous manner. Mark Gatiss's Mycroft Holmes–and any reference to Moriarty–are both absent from the unaired pilot. Cumberbatch's first run at Sherlock seems to be more cheery, charismatic, slightly less blunt than the version that ended up in the series.

Sci-fi fix–Doctor Who universe rejuvenated in new Saturday line-up
Filed under: Sci-Fi Café, TV — Leave a comment
The one-two punch of the third season of the 12th Doctor on BBC's Doctor Who plus the new spin-off Class is the two-hour TV block sci-fi fans won't want to miss this season. Last week witnessed the first episode of Peter Capaldi's final season on Doctor Who, with Pearl Mackie as the new companion, a vibrant and refreshing character named Bill Potts. It also saw the premiere of Class, full of intrigue, exceptional actors, and great characterization for an introductory episode. Aliens and time travel fans should take note, as a fun ride is ahead this season.
It's the 36th season for Doctor Who and tenth season since the 2005 reboot. Whovians who have fallen in love with Karen Gillan and Jenna Coleman and their predecessors will find how easily Mackie slips into her role. After the sweetness and syrupy music over the past few seasons that supported Clara Oswald, the series was due for some fun and a break from the weight of emotion that Oswald's plight brought to the Doctor. And Mackie's Bill looks great, with a cool jean jacket full of flair and a wild shirts that fit in with the past styles of Doctor Who garb. And that hair! Bill provides a full character study in her first episode, "Pilot," where an alien race of space oil beings seek out a star pilot in a woman who is the eye of Bill's affection. The result is another creepy and brilliant Doctor Who villain that will hopefully surface again. Matt Lucas–who is hard to forget as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland–returns as Nardole, a part that is also quickly folding nicely into the show.
In the United States we had been offered up only the briefest teaser preview for the new Doctor Who spinoff TV series Class. With two stars of the Jeremy Piven star vehicle Mr. Selfridge in lead roles–the brilliant actress Katherine Kelly and the up-and-coming actor Greg Austin–the series was primed to be good, and episode one, "For Tonight We Might Die," did not disappoint. As we had speculated earlier this year, the series seemed to be revealing what Doctor Who would look like with a woman playing the lead role. Katherine Kelly went head-to-head with Peter Capaldi's Doctor and proved she has the right stuff for the part. She's perfect as a headstrong leader, and the younger leader played by Austin fills the niche that the companion would serve in the Who-niverse.

New Who–A new companion joins the Twelfth Doctor's final season
It's not every year you get to watch the first episode of the 36th season of a television series. Airing off and on since November 1963, Doctor Who returns next month with the opener to its 10th renumbered season since the 2005 reboot, but several elements of the show will see their end. This will be the final season for Scottish actor Peter Capaldi leading the show as the 12th Doctor. And lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat and executive producer Brian Minchin will see their final season with the series. Moffat is famous for taking the series to its current international success.
Pearl Mackie takes over for Jenna Coleman as the new companion, a character named Bill Potts. Mackie is a newcomer to the BBC with only a supporting role film credit and a guest role on an episode of a British TV show. Matt Lucas returns as Nardole, and it appears he may be a recurring second companion something like Arthur Darvill's Rory in the 2010-2012 episodes.
Rona Munro, who wrote the final story of the original Doctor Who series, is returning to write an episode of the show this season. Several other regular series writers will return, including Toby Whithouse and Mark Gatiss. This season will see an appearance by Poirot's David Suchet and the return of Michelle Gomez as Misty–the latest incarnation of The Master. The TARDIS, Cybermen, Daleks, Weeping Angels, Mars, new spacesuits, old orange spacesuits, new aliens, new robots, new cyborgs, places from the past, new planets… they're all here. Check out this preview for Season 10:

Will Doctor Who spinoff "Class" have a chance to be the next Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
Filed under: Retro Fix, Sci-Fi Café, TV — Leave a comment
What if your planet was massacred and you were the sole survivor? What if a legendary figure out of space and time found you a place to hide?
In the United States we have been offered up only the briefest teaser preview for the new Doctor Who spinoff TV series Class. With two stars of the Jeremy Piven star vehicle Mr. Selfridge in lead roles–the brilliant actress Katherine Kelly and the up-and-coming actor Greg Austin–the series was built for success. We are hard pressed to come up with an actress who might make a better first female Doctor than Kelly. Maybe Sherlock's Lara Pulver? So getting Kelly into this universe is great for Whovians everywhere.
Class is the second spinoff series of Doctor Who, following the successful Torchwood, which sparked new phases of the careers of John Barrowman, Eve Myles, and Burn Gorman. Class is steeped in good British and Doctor Who tradition: For 54 years viewers have heard of the school at Coal Hill. So who are the students attending classes there these days? Class is going to show us just that, including one student who is an alien. Class is a teen-centric series, not aimed at the typical young end of the Doctor Who audience. So this series is for a wider audience and is to explore broader themes. The several BBC trailers that so far have only aired in the UK are exciting and fun, dotted with fun characters, and even a fan favorite villain from Doctor Who.
Class, written by A Monsters Calls' Patrick Ness and executive producer Steven Moffatt, follows Katherine Kelly's Miss Quill and four students, played by Austin and newcomers Sophie Hopkins, Vivian Oparah, and Fady Elsayed. Even Peter Capaldi's Doctor makes an appearance at the beginning of the first season. Moffat called the series dark and sexy and has labeled it a British Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Ness agreed, saying, "Adults watch Buffy because it's a great show, but the POV and the agency are all teenage, and that's what we want to do with Class.
Unfortunately, Class may not make it to the States before being cancelled back home.

Preview–New Doctor Who Christmas Special coming to theaters
Filed under: Movies, Sci-Fi Café, Superheroes, TV — Leave a comment
It has been a Christmas tradition in the UK on and off again for more than fifty years. The Doctor Who Christmas Special returns for another episode this Christmas Day, available in the states on BBC America. This year Fathom Events has teamed up with BBC to bring the show to movie theaters, for two days only. So you can watch it in television in traditional style and/or see it a few days later on the big screen. One of several Doctor Who screenings held by Fathom Events over the past three years, it's as close as Doctor Who fans can get to experiencing a full-fledged Doctor Who movie.
Superheroes is the theme of this year's entry, as revealed in the trailer below. "The Return of Doctor Mysterio" features the 12th Doctor played by Peter Capaldi, but without his normal companion Jenna-Louise Coleman. The good Doctor teams up instead with a journalist played by Charity Wakefield (Wolf Hall, Sense & Sensibility, Jane Eyre), and the duo teams up with a new superhero to defend Earth from another alien threat. The show co-stars Justin Chatwin (Orphan Black, War of the Worlds), Matt Lucas (Alice in Wonderland, Doctor Who, Galavant, Community), Adetomiwa Edun (The Hour, Bates Motel, Law & Order UK), and Aleksandar Jovanovic.
The theater screenings will take place at 7 p.m. local time December 27 and 29, 2016. Check out the Fathom Events website here for theater locations and to purchase tickets.
Here is a preview of "The Return of Doctor Mysterio:"

Doctor Who and Sherlock in theaters–Is the BBC taking over the holidays?
Filed under: Backstage Pass, Fantasy Realms, Retro Fix, Superheroes, TV — Leave a comment
Forget about parades and bowl games. The BBC has taken over your television set for the holidays in the U.S.A. For the past few years Americans have been treated to the British tradition of gathering the family round for a Doctor Who Christmas special on the evening of Christmas day. This year was no exception with one of the best Doctor Who Christmas specials so far, and our favorite recurring character across the Doctors–Alex Kingston's River Song–in "The Husbands of River Song."
If you missed "The Husbands of River Song" on TV last week and can't find it on your OnDemand channel, tonight you have another chance to see it but on the big screen courtesy of the Fathom Event series. Check out the Fathom Events website here for theater locations and tickets. Here's a preview for the show:
But it's not just Christmas Day getting the BBC treatment this year. On New Year's Day Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman return for their only 2016 appearance as Holmes and Watson in the Sherlock New Year's Day special "The Abominable Bride."
This special finds the duo back in the 19th century past of Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories. Here's a preview:

The best of sci-fi is happening right now on Doctor Who
For fans of time travel, look no further than the past two-part episode of Doctor Who for one of the most complex and bloody brilliant time travel stories yet to make it to the screen. Steven Moffat, after a year of getting us accustomed to Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor, has now delivered four superb episodes. It's enough to convince us Capaldi is the real deal and fans of not only the Doctor Who of Christopher Eccleston/David Tennant/Matt Smith series but the classic series as well should be able to embrace the current series as the real thing.
Take the first two-parter of this second season of the 12th Doctor, beginning with "The Magician's Apprentice," the creator of all Daleks, Davros, continuity-wise looking very much as he looked back to Tom Baker days, sets up the beginning of a clever trap for the Doctor, relying on the Doctor's compassion as his ultimate weakness. Then Michelle Gomez's Missy–the Doctor's "brother" Time-Lord also known as The Master now in its current female or "evolved" form–must partner with Jenna Coleman's Clara to both save the Doctor and themselves, sort of. It is my own favorite motif–the forced partnering of a franchise's good guy with its villain against a common foe. The chemistry between Missy and Clara was simply superb. And of course, the finale in "The Witch's Familiar" successfully ties up all the loose ends, but not without wrestling in some good conflicts like an emotional struggle with the Self as the Doctor deciding whether to leave a little boy to die in the middle of an alien mine field.
This season is about Capaldi's Doctor letting loose and freely occupying the role as his own. The electric guitar show he performs in the season opener with his new sonic sunglasses replacing the retired sonic screwdriver–a brilliant and probably long-overdue maneuver by Moffat–came full circled last night in "Before the Flood," with an updated version of the Doctor Who introduction music in the wrap-up of the two-parter begun on October 3, 2015, "Under the Lake". The Doctor's Finest–a recap show highlighting the best of the reboot Doctor Who episodes shown this summer as a lead-in to Capaldi's Season 2 (also reboot Season 9)–needs completely redone now that we have the story arc in "Under the Lake"/"Before the Flood".
Is time linear or "twisty" as the Doctor has asserted before?
Beginning with a parable about Beethoven and showing a bust of the composer that looks strikingly like Capaldi, Moffat takes us on a magical mystery tour full of adventure, emotion, fear, self-reflection, heroism, and all-out fun. Only this Doctor would get away with talking directly to the audience. In fact, this two-parter may be a good entry point for those unfamiliar with the series. It has everything Doctor Who is known for, including the best-in-class scenes of crew life aboard a spaceship, the world's finest creature costumes and make-up work with the new villain The Fisher King (part Predator, part Xenomorph, part Mimic creature), a look at the complex and vital relationship between Doctor and companion, subplots making you care about the everymen he encounters along the way, further study of the Doctor's singular aloneness in the universe, and his willingness to do anything to protect humanity.

SDCC 2015 News–Capaldi and Coleman preview dark trailer for Doctor Who Season 9
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Sci-Fi Café, TV — Leave a comment
The best month of the year for news about new TV series and movies is July, thanks to all the buzz started at Comic-Con 2015 last weekend. We have a few more previews in the coming days. To continue the dark theme started by Batman v. Superman, the BBC previewed the next season of Doctor Who, featuring our newest Doctor played by Peter Capaldi as well as companion Clara, played by Jenna Coleman.
And yes, it really looks like a darker Doctor Who, but it has been getting darker especially since The Day of the Doctor. As much as we like Capaldi's 12th Doctor, it's still difficult to understand some of the motivations of the Doctor's latest incarnation. After a year of episodes, Capaldi and Steven Moffat still seem to be tinkering with and exploring the essence of the 12th Doctor–how much of Matt Smith and David Tenant's Doctors are we getting and what is truly unique about this Doctor?
Anyone else notice his wedding ring before?
What we want to know the most is whether we'll see more of the Paternoster Gang, who doesn't appear in the Comic-Con trailer. We're betting they find their way back. Check out this preview for Doctor Who, the ninth of the modern seasons of the show:

First look–BBC's Sherlock returns to his past, greets SDCC 2015 attendees
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Retro Fix, Superheroes, TV — Leave a comment
It's Comic Con weekend so why not release a clip from the next episode of the BBC's Sherlock? That episode, featuring a throwback to Arthur Conan Doyle's original incarnation of the world's greatest detective and his trusty companion Dr. Watson, is going to air… well, someday. Like Doctor Who, the only thing unanimous that we all hate about these productions from Steven Moffat & Co. is the fact that we never know when they will air and they simply produce too few episodes for audience demand.
Yet we still can count of each new episode to be great fun, and from this new clip Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman will again be in prime form.
Check out this first preview from the BBC of the next episode of Sherlock, followed by a message for attendees of San Diego Comic-Con from stars Andrew Scott, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Mark Gatiss:

"In Real Friends, Shannon Hale reflects on her own friendship-troubled elementary school years with honesty, humor and grace . . . Her readers will find much to love here, including LeUyen Pham's brilliant and multilayered art . . . These detailed memories of elementary school will ring hilariously true to adult readers . . .

Q: Outlook Reply Receipt are sending with a < in the beginning We have a supplier we get frequent emails from.  This supplier requests a read receipt every time we read their emails.  Something weird happening though is that when our system sends out the receipt we have 1 out of 4 users where it adds a < to the beginning of the email address resulting in an undeliverables email reply.
The email is setup correctly on the users contacts but that shouldn't matter anyways.  We have 3 other users who contact this supplier and I am able to see all of their read receipts in the log outbound and they are correct so I can only think it is a component of Outlook 2010.  Have anyone ever seen this before?

A: I saw this behavior several times. Usually it's related to Outlook local cache that contain an invalid entry.

Knox County officials say the election commission website that displays election results crashed on Tuesday night — when tallying of local primary election results was underway — due to a "deliberate" and "widespread" cyberattack, reports the News Sentinel. A cyber security contractor is now looking into the problem.
Officials described the cyberattack as a distributed denial-of-service attack, which is an attempt to disable an online service by overloading it with computer traffic that comes — or appears to come — from many sources.
The cyberattack had no effect on vote tallies. It only prevented officials from displaying election results to the public through the Knox County Election Commission's website, according to Richard Moran, the IT director for the county.
The website went down about 8 p.m. Tuesday after the county's computers crashed from a massive amount of traffic that appeared to be coming from "many, many servers all over the country and all over the world," Moran said.
Moran, who said he's worked in IT for 40 years, said the county has seen similar denial-of-service attacks before. "But never on election night," he said.
Knoxville, Tenn. (May 2, 2018) — Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett today called for a cyber-security contractor to look into the Tuesday night server crash that shut down the County's website just as polls closed on election night.
Starting today, Sword & Shield Enterprise Security, a Knox County-based IT security firm, will conduct a root cause analysis to determine the exact nature of the County server's shut down.

Производство
19 сентября 2012 года, было объявлено, что HBO заказало пилотный эпизод, основанный на британском телесериале «Уголовное правосудие». Джеймс Гандольфини должен был исполнить главную роль, Ричард Прайс стал сценаристом, а Стивен Заиллян — режиссёром. 19 февраля 2013 года, телеканал HBO одобрил проект. Однако, 13 мая 2013 года, HBO изменил мнение, заказав «Уголовное правосудие» в качестве семи-серийного мини-сериала. После смерти Гандольфини 19 июня 2013 года, было сообщено, что в память о нём съёмки мини-сериала будут продолжены, а место Гандольфини займёт Роберт Де Ниро. 21 апреля 2014 года, Джон Туртурро заменил Де Ниро из-за конфликтов в его расписании и графиках съёмок. 11 марта 2016 года, было объявлено, что премьера проекта состоится летом 2016 года под названием «Однажды ночью». Гандольфини посмертно указан в титрах в качестве исполнительного продюсера.

В июле 2016 года Стивен Заиллян прокомментировал возможность второго сезона следующим образом: «Мы думаем об этом и если мы придумаем что-то, что покажется нам стоящим, мы сделаем это. Он был задуман как один сезон. Конечно же, всегда можно сделать другой сезон на другую тему».

Эпизоды

Реакция критиков
«Однажды ночью» получил похвалу от критиков. На сайте Metacritic, сериал в настоящее время удерживает рейтинг 90 %, что означает «всеобщее признание», на основе 40 отзывов Он также удерживает рейтинг 96 % на сайте Rotten Tomatoes, со средним рейтингом 8.5/10, на основе 57 отзывов; его консенсус гласит: «"Однажды ночью" является богато созданной, изысканно выполненной загадкой, которая будет держать зрителей в восторге и оставит их опустошёнными».

Рецензент Джесси Шедин из IGN дал всему мини-сериалу оценку 8.9 из 10, написав: «За небольшим исключением, это лето было не самым лучшим, когда речь идёт о новых телесериалах, что делает краткую трансляцию "Однажды ночью" ещё более особенной. Этот мини-сериал недалеко ушёл от старой формулы, если вести речь о криминальных драмах, но его отличали поразительный актёрский состав и неослабное, всепроникающее напряжение, что двигало сериал от начала до конца».

In 1857, Hiram began to extend his grain business into more areas throughout the United States and Canada. Hiram began purchasing land on the Canadian side of the Detroit River, in what is now Windsor, Ontario. This land was originally considered part of the Labdie farm. He began his distillery operation in Windsor, in 1858. He was considered one of the largest landowners in Ontario, and over his entire lifetime, his land possessions measured around 10,000 acre, most of which along the Walkerville and Detroit River Railroad. The location of Hiram's property was extremely valuable because the Great Western Railway was in close proximity and enabled Walker to move products from his distillery and cattle yards.

Home News Iranian Opposition Iran's FM met with protests in Sweden
Iran's FM met with protests in Sweden
The protesters spoke out against the regime's human rights violations, including murdering dissidents and suppressing women, rights activists and religious minorities. They criticised the Swedish government for allowing Javad Zarif to enter Sweden and demanded his immediate expulsion. They sought to amplify the voices of protesters in Iran who are largely ignored by the world's media.
The protesters chanted:
"Zarif, get lost!"
"Zarif is a murderer and enemy of all Iranians"
"Zarif is a murderer, talks with him are unacceptable"
"Zarif is a charlatan and enemy of the people of Iran"
"Zarif is a terrorist murderer"
However, the protesters were subjected to violence by the Swedish Police, with 50 protesters beaten up and arrested, including women's rights activists, former political prisoners, and families of victims of the 1988 massacre. Frankly, this is all too similar to the suppression of protesters in Iran.
Juxtaposed with Sweden welcoming the murderous Zarif as a guest, this is all the more appalling.
In an interview with the state-run Iranian Press TV on Wednesday, Zarif threatened the protesters with murders, saying that if they were caught by the regime's agents "they would not stay alive for a minute."
These protests still scared Zarif enough to pull out of a joint press conference with Swedish Foreign Minister, Margot Wallström.
Wallström was then left to justify her meeting with Zarif, who was sanctioned by the US Treasury Department last month for being "just as complicit in the regime's outlaw behaviour as the rest of [Supreme Leader Ali] Khamenei's mafia".
She condemned the regime for its record of human rights abuses and insisted that the regime must comply with all its nuclear deal obligations and release the British-flagged oil tanker, Stena Impero.
But don't Zarif's threats indicate how the regime treats its prisoners, without any indication of a behaviour change to come? He emboldens the regime to take part in terrorism, murder and warmongering, in complete antithesis to the wishes of the Iranian people.
Speaking at the Free Iran conference in July, Kenneth Lewis, a Swedish jurist and former member of parliament, said: "Our Foreign Minister last year visited Tehran. A foreign minister, a woman who represents a feminist foreign policy, goes to Iran to sell trucks and construction equipment and even puts on a chador… A country like Sweden who claims that they are defending human rights is more interested in selling their trucks and don't care really about human rights when it comes down to the final analysis."

Netflix documentary Liberated explores real-life consequences of culture of sexual objectification
Liberated: The New Sexual Revolution is a documentary about coming of age in today's young adult hookup culture.
Following the journey of college students on Spring Break, the film provides shocking insight into attitudes and behaviors regarding sex, the normalization of sexual violation, and the struggle against conceptions of gender and sexuality shaped by the media.
The new documentary reveals a "culture of sexual violation" where women are viewed as sexual conquests to be discarded, and men display an entitlement to women and their bodies.
A range of experts, including Caroline Heldman, Gail Dines, Robert Jensen and Sut Jhally, discuss the role of media and popular culture in shaping attitudes and behaviours:
"Young people in our culture learn what it means to be man, what it means to be a woman, how they're supposed to relate to each other, how they're supposed to have sex from popular culture, whether its social media, film, television, pornography, their peers. And you see this theme of non-intimate sex, you know, throughout every type of popular culture that's out there, which is a different type of sex from the sex we used to see," says Caroline Heldman.
HOW TO SPOT SEXUAL OBJECTIFICATION: THE CHIPS TEST- Caroline Heldman
The routine sexual objectification of women in media, advertising and popular culture leads to the view of women as being defined by their sexual appeal and availability. Sut Jhally, founder and executive director of Media Education Foundation notes:
"Any part of popular culture in one sense tells the same story about female sexuality, which is female sexuality is a key component of what it means to be female."
A still image from the film.
The film also attempts to explain young women's participation in hook-up culture. Author and founder of Culture Reframed, Gail Dines said:
"Let's take a young girl and think about what does it mean that, you know, you're on the cusp of puberty, you're trying to figure out what it means to be female. And you're looking around the culture and what's coming at you is Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus... Today, the culture is saying if you behave in a certain way, act a certain way, dress a certain way, then you are an empowered young woman."
Caroline Heldman argued that young women may believe being treated as a sexual object is "empowering" because it makes them feel wanted and desired.
"But the idea that our bodies are our value means that we are forever dependent on men to validate us, we're dependent upon an outside source to say that we are important, to say that we are valuable...What's the ultimate way to get validation? It's to be wanted sexually."
The film showcases the real-life impacts of the pornification of culture and the sexual objectification of women. The view of women as things existing for men's use and enjoyment was striking, with young men speaking openly about their tactics to hook up with women, and young women describing frequent and normalised sexual harassment and sexual assault from men who felt "entitled". Is this really progress? Is it empowerment?

Photographer captures 'new slaves' of the Gulf – CNN.com
London (CNN) — Pirates? Ravers? At first glance, the portraits are startling and confusing.
Hidden behind sunglasses and hats, their faces shrouded in brightly colored scarves and t-shirts, these striking, enigmatic figures could as easily be rebel fighters as models at an edgy runway show.
In fact, they are migrant construction workers of the United Arab Emirates, mostly men from India and Pakistan whose cheap labor has powered the rise of the country's skyscrapers.
The laborers — often subjected to exploitative working conditions, according to Human Rights Watch — are described by photographer Philippe Chancel as "the new slaves" of the Gulf.
"But they don't look like slaves," said the Frenchman, whose photographic study of the migrant workers was published as a book, "Workers Emirates," last month.
They don't look like like workers either, he said, their bright colors a stark contrast to traditionally drab depictions of laborers in the West.
"I try to give something very beautiful, a little seductive. I want not to denounce, but to give people the possibility to get inside a very deep problem," Chancel added.
Chancel began visiting the Emirates in 2007, initially training his camera on the bold new architecture emerging out of the desert. But he soon became fascinated with the brightly-dressed workers in the margins of his viewfinder, a group which seemed to pass unnoticed by the surrounding society.
His hell is bearable
Photographer Philippe Chancel
"The most shocking thing for me is the violence of the indifference," he said. Despite their vivid appearance, he likened them to ghosts. "They were omnipresent but at the same time invisible, as if the eye did not see them as worth attention," he writes.
The men were anonymous, their faces were shielded from the sun, while their work barely registered with the majority of the population, which spent the day sheltered from the elements inside air-conditioned buildings.
Chancel began visiting their building sites and dormitory camps unannounced, shooting "very fast and very sharp" to capture realistic representations of the men and their surroundings. On one occasion he was arrested.
Having seen the squalid conditions in their dormitories, which he likened to a prison, he became further intrigued to discover the men, who earn salaries of about $160 a month, seem to accept their plight.
The climate of fear they live in means they can't strike or protest
Priyanka Motaparthy, Middle East researcher at Human Rights Watch
"The worker is a slave, but he feels lucky to have an opportunity to try to meet his destiny," said Chancel. "His hell is bearable."
Priyanka Motaparthy, Middle East researcher at Human Rights Watch, said that some workers paid up to $4,000 to recruiters in pursuit of good wages and low living expenses, taking on significant debts just to get the jobs.
"Most are completely trapped by financial circumstances," she said.
They are let into the country as temporary workers, usually on three-year permits. Tight immigration laws grant their employers extraordinary powers over their lives, with bosses keeping their passports and sponsoring their visas, meaning they cannot easily change jobs if they find the conditions intolerable.
"The climate of fear they live in means they can't strike or protest," she said.
The economies of the United Arab Emirates, and the other Gulf Cooperation Council countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman, are heavily dependent on foreign workers, with an estimated 15 million foreigners working in the GCC, according to the International Labor Organization.
"Many workers don't know what they're getting into," said Motaparthy. "They're not getting contracts that reflect what the job actually is, and the contracts aren't in their own language."
While there had been some improvements for workers in recent years, with governments introducing wage protection schemes and mandatory health insurance to be paid by employers, exploitation was still widespread, she said.
Chancel, who has also produced work on North Korea, is currently exhibiting in London, Paris, Montpelier and Dubai.
"I love the idea of the pictures coming back to the origin," he said of the Dubai show. But there was little chance of his subjects coming across portraits of themselves in a Dubai gallery. "Of course not," he said.

Ammonium Nitrate Storage Buildings Reduce the Risk of Explosions
Posted on August 17, 2020 December 15, 2020 by zai
Improper Ammonium Nitrate Storage Causes Explosion
On the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2020, an explosion rocked a warehouse near the main port in the Lebanese capital city of Beirut. The blast registered as a 3.3 magnitude earthquake and could be felt up to 150 miles away. Its sheer force catapulted cars through the air like Hot Wheel toys, their windows shattering as they slammed into crumbling buildings. In the immediate aftermath, hundreds were unaccounted for; thousands more lost their homes and workplaces.
As the dust settled the next day, the sobering devastation became clear. The explosion was so widespread and severe, it caused an estimated $3 to $5 billion worth of damage. Though first responders worked around the clock, initial casualties numbered more than 135, and thousands were hospitalized with injuries.
While the conclusive cause of the blast is under investigation, preliminary reports indicate 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate had been stored "without preventative measures" at a port warehouse for the past six years. For perspective in understanding the true scope of how dangerous that amount is, let's compare it to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Timothy McVeigh only used two tons of the same white crystalline chemical to blow up a federal building, killing 168 people and damaging 300 buildings.
What Is Ammonium Nitrate?
Ammonium nitrate is commonly used in the fertilizer industry, in cold packs, and in the production of yeast, antibiotics, and industrial explosives. Because it is an oxidizer, it accelerates the burning of combustible materials. This also makes it very useful in the mining industry as the main component of ANFO (ammonium nitrate fuel oil), a common explosive. Capable of coalescing into a single mass, this chemical requires a tight container to avoid absorbing moisture from the air.
RELATED ARTICLE: Ammonia Risks and Safe Storage Tips
Ammonium nitrate is not combustible but it is notorious for disasters caused by explosions. In 2013, approximately 40 to 60 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded at the West Fertilizer Company distribution facility in Waco, Texas. It killed 15 people, wounded more than 160, and caused millions in damage.
Use Chemical Storage Buildings for Safe Ammonium Nitrate Storage
Because of its inherent danger, it is vital to understand all the safety guidelines for storing ammonium nitrate. As a strong oxidizing agent, the chemical should be segregated from combustible materials to avoid such disasters. It should also be separate from other chemicals such as chromium and copper salts, urea, acids and alkalis.
U.S. Chemical Storage fire-rated pre-fabricated steel storage buildings offer the highest level of protection against fires and explosions. Because ammonium nitrate is hygroscopic, the tight containers should be stored in a well-ventilated area. The chemical can undergo explosive decomposition when heated in a confined space, so it should be stored in a cool area with proper fire suppression systems.
RELATED ARTICLE: Chemical Storage Inventory
Our SuperLoc storage buildings feature 4-hour fire rated bi-directional wall construction. In case of a fire because of an ammonium nitrate reaction, the fire will be contained within the building for four hours, allowing personnel time to evacuate safely. But, unlike competitor storage buildings, U.S. Chemical Storage fire-rated wall construction also protects the building's contents by preventing a fire outside the storage building from reaching the chemicals inside.
SuperLoc buildings are designed to be fully compliant with government regulations and built to safeguard your personnel, inventory, and equipment in the event of a fire or explosion. We engineer our buildings to your specifications while meeting the highest safety standards for explosive storage. Customizable options when storing ammonium nitrate include climate controlled storage, explosion relief panels, and explosion proof accessories such as fire suppression systems and ventilation.

Home : The Complete Asian Cookbook
The Complete Asian Cookbook
The Complete Asian Cookbook is a comprehensive cookbook with over 800 recipes from 16 Asian countries from Singapore to Cambodia. You'll enjoy all types of dishes from Indonesian satays to Korean hot-pots and much more.
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Book Company
Author: Charmaine Solomon
Description: Charmaine Solomon has tried and tested every recipe. 'Just because Asian food is different', she says, 'it doesn't have to be difficult to prepare.' And she proves it: clearly presented recipes list every ingredient and every preparation step in easy-to-follow terms. Although she takes the mystery out of the cooking of the 'mysterious East', Charmaine has successfully preserved the unique flavours and textures that put Asian food among the world's greatest and most exciting cuisines.
Thirteen chapters present more than 800 recipes from sixteen Asian countries. There are exciting finds for cooks already familiar with Asian food, and simple (but nonetheless authentic) recipes for those exploring it for the first time.
Even a glimpse at these pages shows that there's much more to Japanese food than sukiyaki and raw fish; to Chinese food than 'chop suey' and fried rice; to Indian food than scorching curries; to Indonesian food than satays and peanut sauce. And while Charmaine, in her inimitable way, covers some familiar territory, she ventures into culinary areas that ought to be better known: the sour-hot dishes of Thailand, the Nonya cooking of Singapore and Malaysia , the Arabian Nights flavours of Indian sweetmeats, the soul-warming hot-pots of Korea; and she brings back excitingly different dishes from the largely uncharted (in cooking terms) lands of Burma, Vietnam, Laos and Khmer (Cambodia).
The introduction to each chapter give valuable information about how local dishes are prepared and served. There is a special section on "equivalents and substitutes." The comprehensive glossary explains unfamiliar ingredients, and the detailed index lists local and Western names for every dish. And you can almost taste the superb photographs that illustrate every chapter. The Complete Asian Cookbook is both for reading and for cooking with -- it's essential kitchen equipment for anyone interested in the culinary delights of Asia.

Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Friday sentenced a former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration Safety Agency, Mr. Raymond Temisan Omatseye, to five years in prison over a N1.5bn contract scam.
Omatseye was arraigned before the court on a 27-count charge bordering on alleged contract variation, bid rigging and awarding contract above his approval limit.
At the resumed hearing of the matter on Monday, 14 March, the prosecution counsel, Godwin Obla, SAN, and defence counsel, E. D Onyeke made their final addresses and adopted them before the court.
Onyeke filed and served the court and prosecution a written address and adopted it.
He urged the court to dismiss the case against the former NIMASA boss on the grounds that, the prosecution has not been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.

Стенче (; ; ) е село в Северна Македония, в Община Бървеница.

География
Селото се намира в областта Горни Полог, в склоновете на Сува гора, на десния бряг на реката Вардар. Село Стенче се намира между селата Вълковия и Теново . Селото е на 25 км южно от Тетово и на 14 км северно от Гостивар.

История
В края на XIX век Стенче е българско село в Тетовска каза на Османската империя.

В църквата "Свети Илия" в Стенче в 1866 година работи Дичо Зограф, а по-късно синът му Аврам Дичов.

Според статистиката на Васил Кънчов ("Македония. Етнография и статистика") от 1900 г. Стѣнче е село, населявано от 680 жители българи християни.

През учебната 1897-1898 година в Стенче работи българско училище.

Цялото население на селото е под върховенството на Българската екзархия. По данни на секретаря на екзархията Димитър Мишев ("La Macédoine et sa Population Chrétienne") в 1905 година в Стенче има 664 българи екзархисти и в селото функционира българско училище.

По време на Балканската война в 1912 година 4 души от селото се включват като доброволци в Македоно-одринското опълчение.

В 1912 година лидерът на албанското въстание в Тетовско Мехмед паша Дерала налага на българите в Тетово 700 лири данък, а на българските села Вълковия и Стенче – 300.

Според Афанасий Селишчев в 1929 година Стенче е център на Стенчевска община с три села в Долноположкия срез и има 101 къщи с 957 жители българи.

Според преброяването от 2002 година селото има 150 жители.

❶This is a vague statement.
Whatever the mission of the essay, make sure that you are interested in your topic. In order to write a successful essay, you must organize your thoughts. This structure serves as a foundation for your paper. Use either an outline or a diagram to jot down your ideas and organize them. To create a diagram, write your topic in the middle of your page.
Draw more lines off these main ideas and include any thoughts you may have on these ideas. If you prefer to create an outline, write your topic at the top of the page. From there, begin to list your main ideas, leaving space under each one. In this space, make sure to list other smaller ideas that relate to each main idea.
Doing this will allow you to see connections and will help you to write a more organized essay. Now that you have chosen a topic and sorted your ideas into relevant categories, you must create a thesis statement. Your thesis statement tells the reader the point of your essay. Look at your outline or diagram. What are the main ideas? Your thesis statement will have two parts. The first part states the topic, and the second part states the point of the essay. The body of your essay argues, explains or describes your topic.
Each main idea that you wrote in your diagram or outline will become a separate section within the body of your essay. Each body paragraph will have the same basic structure. Begin by writing one of your main ideas as the introductory sentence. Next, write each of your supporting ideas in sentence format, but leave three or four lines in between each point to come back and give detailed examples to back up your position.
Also, make sure that your paragraph order makes sense. Expressing oneself through clothing is an indication that one can not express oneself in any other worthy manner. There is also a physical danger presented when students walk to school through potentially less-than-safe neighborhoods in the types of outfits popular today.
The style is far too tight, too low cut, too short, and nothing good can come from unattended children in outfits meant to sexualize the wearer. If these children choose to wear such clothing in the company of their parents, than they will at least be under parental guidance.
When students are at this academy, however, they are under the watch of their teachers and the administration, which act as ad hoc parents. Hopefully this letter will show you the point of view of a student who happens to be in favor of the uniforms currently in place.

I have found the drawback to living in paradise. It's called a White Christmas back home in Europe.
The appalling taste of said dessert is beside the point. It is a tradition and a family thing. And my family is quite a long way away [and can make snow angels whenever they so desire]. Grrr.
After languishing on the unsnowy situation for the rest of the day, the next morning I decided to wake up and smell the roses. Or rather the frangipani.
I am in Bali. That's pretty cool. I am happy and healthy and have some roops in my pocket. I also have an awesome family over [quite a few] seas. And so with humble pie in my mouth I decided I would go all Mother T and start a little Christmas collection… for those Balinese children who don't have a family over any shores. I reckon they deserve some pretty damn good presents on Christmas morning.
As everyone knows, Christmas presents need a tree to collect under – so I scooped up all of the old job application envelopes that were scribbled on and couldn't be used again and made this 2D 'evergreen'. Waste not want not as granny harris used to say.
Right, we have something old and something borrowed … the only 'new' thing I needed happened to also be blue – I needed blu-tac to stick the christmas 'tree' to the wall. And so off I went to the supermarket to buy it. And wow was that an experience. I would recommend learning the indo word for 'blu-tac' because seriously, 'blu-tac' is the hardest mime you can ever attempt. After at least 13 minutes of enthusiastically sticking an invisible poster to an invisible wall, and frenetically pulling bits of invisible blu tac apart [to show the rubbery consistency of course] Wayan still looked at me with an expression of confusion [and pity I suspect].
…If you are coming to Bali and would like to add to the trunk, we are collecting cash donations, toys and books [If anyone brings 'The Jolly Postman' I will personally give you the biggest bear hug – that book rules].

Ranelagh Primary School is a finding member of the Tapscott Learning Trust. We have an active Local Advisory Board (LAB), that acts as "a critical friend" to the school, providing strategic governance to ensure that all children receive the best possible education. The LAB meets as a whole group each term and delegates its business to a range of committees, where appropriate.
The LAB has an important part to play in raising school standards through its three key roles:
Setting strategic direction
Ensuring accountability
Monitoring and evaluating school performance
We have responsibility together with the leadership team for agreeing the policies for the general running of the school. Our role is crucial:
We fulfil statutory duties to ensure that the school is a safe, healthy and an inclusive environment
We provide support and challenge to the leadership team of the school on all issues that affect the learning and welfare of our pupils
The LAB is drawn from the staff of the school, the Local Education Authority, parents and the wider community that our school serves. The usual term of office is four years but many members of the LAB stand for re-election and serve more than one term.
The LAB provide expertise and experience across a range of skills so as to ensure that that the school is able to undertake its duty to support the creation of a strong learning environment.
The LAB continues to support and challenge the Leadership Management Team and staff to build upon the improvements that we have made as a school. The LAB will be monitoring student progress with a high expectation that all students can achieve the best that they are able to. We will also be ensuring that the pupil premium, which is extra funding to support disadvantaged young people, continues to make an impact in improved educational outcomes for our children.
The LAB also focus on the wider social aspects of the school, including through the use of the lodge, and to develop strengthening participation in school sports, music and the arts. Parents can play an important role in supporting the LAB and staff by making sure that homework is completed and, wherever possible, your sons and daughters are provided with a place at home where this important aspect of their learning can be achieved.
We are legally required to disclose minutes from any of our governance meetings upon request. If you require any of these, please contact info@ttlt.academy and we will be happy to assist you with your query.
The Trust will make available for public inspection copies of agendas, minutes and reports for our meetings including the Trust Board and any of the LAB committees. Please contact the Trust's Company Secretary at info@ttlt.academy.

Last summer (has it really been four months?) I had a visitor, Rita, from Florida. She wanted to visit the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver. Actually, it hadn't been on my radar, but I really enjoyed seeing it and learning about the force of nature that was Molly Brown.
…informed us was that the name Molly was really a misnomer. Her name was Margaret and she was an upstanding member of Denver's wealthy society, though she had a habit of speaking her mind when other people didn't think she should.
Her friends called her "Maggie" during her lifetime. After she became famous for surviving the Titanic, newspapers began calling her "The Unsinkable Mrs. Brown". She used that fame to advocate for causes she believed strongly in, such as women's and workers' rights and children's welfare and literacy.
It wasn't until the Broadway musical, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown", came out in 1960 that she became known as "Molly", almost 30 years after her death. There was also a popular film by that name a few years later. The tour guide said the staff of the museum were torn because they wanted people to know her as Mrs. Margaret Brown, but calling it the Molly Brown House brings in more visitors.
Margaret was originally from Missouri. She moved to Leadville, CO, and worked in a department store as a young woman. She married James Joseph "J.J." Brown and had two children. She married for love, but J.J. soon made a fortune in mining engineering. Apparently he was a pretty shrewd cookie! Our tour guide said he came up with a way to make a previously closed mine productive again and was rewarded handsomely.
Anyway, the house was built in the 1880s by a couple whose millions came from the silver mines in the Rockies. Once the silver market crashed, they sold the house to the Browns in 1894 for $30,000. By then Margaret was a socialite and became a prominent figure in Denver society. The tour guide said she and her husband separated and lived their own lives after a while, though they stayed married. She traveled a lot and rented the house out to other wealthy families when she was away.
The house was sold by the children after the Browns' deaths and the furnishings sold off as well at an estate sale. A nonprofit, Historic Denver, formed in 1970 when the house was condemned and was on the docket to be destroyed. It had been changed a lot over the years, but now it's been returned to its original Victorian style. I was very interested to learn that Historic Denver, which runs the museum, has managed to locate and buy back a third of the Brown's original household belongings.
The house was much smaller than I would have thought for a wealthy family. And it has period furnishings, including this beaded lamp and the wallpaper behind it. The wallpaper is actually formed out of a heavy paper and painted gold, which looked metal at first glance. That was by design!
Here's a vintage pressure cooker. The tour guide said pressure cookers were invented in Denver because of the high altitude. Although they help a lot, the pressure cooker was actually invented in France years before Denver reached this level of sophistication (I looked it up!).
Just off the kitchen was the formal dining room. The tour guide pointed out the custom-painted ceiling.
Then he said, "I know what you're thinking: 'Why in the world would someone pay an artist to paint a spider web on their dining room ceiling?'." He was right; I was thinking that. "It's not a spider web. It's the artist's conception of what a glass-ceilinged solarium would look like." Well, that explained it, but I still think I could do better than that!
Anyway, it was an interesting tour and I would recommend it, especially if you're in Denver and the weather is bad. The staff is very knowledgeable and proud to be there. I'm glad I learned a little more about the woman Margaret Brown and I appreciate knowing she was not the reckless, bawdy character of stage and screen, but a respectable woman who did her best to make this world better.
Karren your blogs take me places that I can enjoy without leaving my comfy house! Thank you so much.
Judy, that's the intent! Glad you enjoy the blog!
The reason it looked like a Catholic school is because it used to be known as St. Mary's Academy.
Thanks for the info, adrain – I feel validated! Did you go to St. Mary's?


One really nice spring weekend when we lived in PA, Alan and I decided to take a spur of the moment trip to Cape May and Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Cape May is named for the Cape on which it's situated, at the southernmost tip of New Jersey. It was a Victorian resort town and is now known for its Victorian architecture.
There was a little festival going on while we were there that we explored and we had some Rita's while we walked along the beach. There are several things I miss about the East Coast and one of them is Rita's...I would be ecstatic if one opened up within 100 miles of me!
We found this on the beach, an abandoned WWII bunker. While you can't get inside, it was cool to see.
We also went up to the top of the Cape May lighthouse, where we had some incredible views.
Bonus points if you can spot Noah!
After we spent the day in Cape May, we drove up the shore to Atlantic City, where we spent the night...stay tuned next week to read all about it!
She is a Scorpio...along with her husband and son.
Her all-time favorite movie is Gone With the Wind...and she can watch it over and over again.
She would love nothing more than to retire to the Carolinas one day.
That bunker would be awesome to see! I love Victorian architecture!
I would love to explore all the neat historical sites up and down the East Coast. Great pictures!
Looks really pretty! That WWII bunker looks pretty cool too...!
Cape May is about the only thing I like about the shore! I prefer Lewes, DE.
It was so random to see it on the beach, but they were all over the place along the east coast during WWII.
I have never seen a lighthouse first hand but am in love with the idea of visiting a cozy beach town with a lighthouse. It's the little things that excite me. Thanks for spotlighting me! Happy Friday!
Really? I love to go up in them, they've got great views!


It was December 2014, Lauren and Alex had taken a trip to New York.
They have been together for 8 years after meeting in the sixth form at Princethorpe College, Lauren knowing she had found her happy ever after.
On a freezing cold day last year in New York, Alex was waiting for the right moment to ask that all important question. Lauren remembers it well, with her fingertips frozen, Alex was insistent on walking to a certain special place in 'Central Park' he had read about.
Once there Lauren didn't suspect a thing, thinking Alex was tying a shoe lace, this was the moment Lauren had dreamed of. With a "to die for" ring that had travelled 3500 miles, Alex asked the all important question. Glowing from ear to ear and any thought of being frozen, melting away; the answer was obvious.
I am very much looking forward to their wedding in a few short weeks time to see what other surprises Alex may have in store!!!


We all know that trash cans undoubtedly are a necessity in every home and office. One of the best trash bins available on the market are constructed and designed by Rubbermaid. They offer numerous types of trash cans for every kind of personal use and industrial job one can think of. Quality really matters when it comes to the materials used to construct rubbish bins. Rubbermaid is best known due to its innovative construction and design. It can be very costly to replace litter cans a few times a year because of purchasing a lesser quality of can. Rubbermaid's are guaranteed to last for a minimum of ten years. Having trash containers that leak or fall apart when transporting garbage are inconvenient and ineffective.
