Machete Theatrical Review
Three years ago, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino released Grindhouse, an homage to the B slasher/zombie movies from the 1970s. Part of that homage was including trailers for "fake" movies. One of those was Machete. However, Machete was more than just a trailer at that point.
The first script for Machete was written in 1993. In fact, the idea was still being refined when Robert Rodriguez shot Spy Kids and that was the first time Danny Trejo actually played Machete. Robert Rodriguez shared a tidbit about one line in the movie that came from Danny Trejo himself. During the time when the movie was still just a rough script and ideas, Danny Trejo called Robert on the phone. Robert normally doesn't like to talk on the phone and prefers texting or emailing. To which Danny replied, "Machete don't text." You will hear that line again. The ideas continued to simmer until 2007 when the "fake" trailer was released with Grindhouse. The audience's reaction to the trailer was extremely positive and demand was there to actually make a Machete movie. Two years later, filming began. And what's even better – Robert Rodriguez actually uses most, if not all of the scenes he previously shot for the trailer.
Considering the usual formulaic movies that usually come from Hollywood, Machete is a welcome respite for one wanting something different. Are you going to have character development in the movie? No. Are you going to have a lot of cheesy dialogue at times? Yes. Are you going to see lots of gore and gratuitous violence? Yes.
Story/Script/Plot Development (B): On the macro view, the story is extremely simple – it's a revenge story. But does it need to be more than that? Machete, while it was riding on the coattails of the immigration debate still currently going on in Arizona, was filmed before that issue came to the international light. And while it does comment on the current immigration issue facing the United States, it does so fairly without being heavy handed towards one side of the political spectrum. The dialogue is very basic, but that fits well with this genre.
Cinematography (A): Violence takes a lead role in this movie, and to properly do that, you need excellent cinematography. Machete delivers on that. Between the camera angles and trick photography, it makes what is happening seem plausible.
Acting/Chemistry (B): This hurts to give this a B here. Mainly because Danny Trejo is Machete. Without him, there would not be a Machete. And he plays his role extremely well. I know that he probably won't be recognized for this role because some people will think he's not really acting….but trust me, he is. He has a wonderful chemistry with Jessica Alba (ICE Agent Sartana) and Michelle Rodriguez (Luz), both of whom do a wonderful job of portraying their roles on the screen. Robert DeNiro (Senator McLaughlin) again gives his role his all and it shows. But one of the biggest surprises is the return of Jeff Fahey (Booth) as a leading character. Jeff had previously worked with Robert Rodriguez in Planet Terror, but he really shows his capabilities as an actor in Machete. Cheech Marin (Padr) is also good reprising his role from the trailer as a gun-toting priest.
The biggest disappointment however was Lindsay Lohan. I don't know if her character was written specifically for her, but it seemed like she wasn't acting. She seemed to be playing herself. Once you see the movie you'll understand what I mean when you compare her character to her own personal life. And because of this, her character brings down the scenes she is in and brings down the grade from an A.
Use of locations/Costumes/Special Effects (A): Filmed mainly around Austin, Texas – Machete is supposed to be in Texas…and it is. Costumes are as expected, with Machete having the most unique costume for most of the movie. Now the special effects are where this movie does shine. Using what appears to be minimal digital effects and relying mostly on the old-fashioned kind, Machete really does fit well as an homage to the 70s slasher/zombie flicks.
Movie Score (C): The score is another homage to the genre, with a transition to cheesy 70s porn music whenever Machete is showing his softer side, but the rest of the film is a variation of the general Machete theme. It fits well but it's nothing special.
Final Grade (B): Machete is a fast paced, action packed fun ride of a movie. Once it starts it never lets up….and isn't for those who can't stand the sight of blood. Gruesome at times and always graphic – Machete begins his carnage minutes into the movie….and doesn't stop until all of the bad guys are dead. If this is your kind of movie, you'll have fun. Otherwise, I'd skip it.

As historic theater is listed for $5.5M, an effort mounts to put it aside
The Greenport movie show, which dates to 1939, was listed on the market this week. (Courtesy images)
A film home that is practically a century outdated has hit the market in Greenport.
The historic Greenport Theater at 211 Entrance Road was listed for $5.5 million with John Catrambone of Dering Harbor Actual Property earlier this week. An actual property itemizing additionally notes that the property is being supplied on the market or long-term lease.
It has been owned since 2004 by Josh Sapan, who just lately stepped down from his function as CEO at AMC Networks.

"It is arrange in a pleasant manner for these varieties of occasions and may very well be thrilling for a neighborhood group."
The unique constructing dates again to 1915 and an earlier theater was destroyed by the Nice New England Hurricane in 1938. It was rebuilt the next 12 months by Prudential Theaters and designed by John Eberson, an architect famend for his film palace designs.
Over time, the single-screen cinema was become a multiplex with 632 seats throughout 4 theaters.
Mr. Sapan bought the theater in 2004 as a ardour undertaking and started renovations to honor its art-deco glory, together with putting in a 23-foot neon signal alongside the façade, constructing a brand new ticket sales space, updating the seats and including a restaurant. Infrastructure enhancements like switching to digital projectors have been additionally accomplished.
The long-lasting neon signal was put in as a part of an in depth renovation effort. (Courtesy images)
Mr. Sapan retired from AMC Networks on the finish of 2022 and just lately printed a ebook, "The Third Act: Reinventing Your Subsequent Chapter," about growing old gracefully and reinventing your self in retirement.
In an interview Thursday, Mr. Sapan mirrored on the final twenty years and stated he feels it is an applicable time to step away. "Throughout [COVID-19,] we needed to shut after which my life took on this new stage," he stated. "It simply appeared like an ideal time."
In some methods, itemizing the cineplex on the market is Mr. Sapan's personal private third act, as he plans to deal with unbiased movies and private tasks, like a brand new initiative entitled "Marvels of Media" on the Museum of the Shifting Picture to have fun moviemakers who're on the autism spectrum.
"I've liked films since I used to be a child and I really like the Greenport theater," Mr. Sapan stated.
He first turned enamored by the theater after buying a second residence in Shelter Island Heights—technically inside strolling distance, plus a ferry journey, to the theater.
"The tales [of the theater] have been considerable," Mr. Sapan stated, recounting tales from old-timers who as soon as labored as uniformed ushers throughout its heyday to {couples} that shared their first date there years in the past. "Huge openings would happen and automobiles would line up. It was the heartbeat… the pulsing middle of Greenport," he stated.
Tony Spiridakis is amongst these with fond reminiscences of the Greenport Theater.
"It is the primary place I ever noticed a film," he stated. "It was a type of gladiator movies."
Although he cannot fairly bear in mind the precise title — the expertise clearly caught with him, as Mr. Spiridakis works as a filmmaker and 12 years in the past, based the Manhattan Movie Institute together with his associate Lisa Gillooly.
Whereas Mr. Sapan sometimes operated the theater day by day on the peak of the summer time vacationer season, Mr. Spiridakis and Ms. Gillooly helped kickstart a winter movie collection in 2019 after funding repairs to a damaged boiler system that enabled them to warmth the theater.
Now, he is hoping to be his subsequent steward.
In an interview Thursday, Mr. Spiridakis stated Mr. Sapan has given him "an incredible alternative" to assist save the theater if he can type a brand new nonprofit, assemble a board and lift $1 million for a brand new cultural arts middle.
"It is as much as us now," Mr. Spiridakis stated. "The profit to the neighborhood goes to be for generations to come back."
A donor has already pledged $150,000, he stated, including that he stays hopeful the neighborhood will rally in assist of the long-lasting theater. "The considered it changing into one other lodge or bar or another sort of enterprise apart from what it's now simply hurts my coronary heart," Mr. Spiridakis stated.
Regardless of its native significance and eligibility, the theater just isn't listed as a landmark or inside an official historic district. It's situated throughout the village's Waterfront Industrial zoning district which is at the moment impacted by a improvement moratorium adopted by the board final month.
Mr. Sapan stated Thursday that Mr. Spiridakis is "an exquisite man" that "embodies the spirit" of the theater.

Assange suing Ecuador for Violating His Fundamental Rights
On October 24, 2018 October 28, 2018 By AngelFox
I'm calling out several MSM stories in which they published fake news about Julian Assange. Not that this should surprise anyone as MSM has made it a practice to spread smears and try to destroy the public's opinion of Julian for years. Recently, Assange filed a lawsuit suing the country of Ecuador for violating his fundamental rights and freedom. After Ecuador wrote a ten page restriction on Assange being reconnected to the outside world, News Organizations like NBC and the Guardian made their own presumptions and made it out that Assange was suing for Ecuador not doing his laundry etc. This is a flat out lie.
First of all, in no country would a lawsuit like what they are reporting even make it in front of the court of law. It's absurd to think it would. Secondly, Julian would never make himself look so foolish.
What the lawsuit is about is the human rights abuses that have taken place since March 28th of this year under President Lenin Moreno. Julian has been in solitary confinement without phone, visitors or internet access. According to this statement that Wikileaks released on Twitter found here:
"Ecuador refused to let Human Rights Watch General Counsel Dinah PoKempner, who likened Ecuador's isolation to "solitary confinement" [https://twitter.com/RockinTrump/status/981286495934803968] see him as well several meetings with his lawyers. Ecuador's measures against Julian Assange have been widely condemned by the human rights community."
Assange's lawyer Garcon is also questioning the legality of the requirements in the 10 page restrictions. According to the leaked document, if Assange so much as leaves a dirty item of clothing on the floor, he can be evicted which would result in his arrest and extradition to the US where he faces either life in prison or the death penalty. In other qords, the new government in Ecuador sees no problem in their citizen and optical refugee getting the death penalty for leaving clothes on the floor. Sounds pretty harsh if you ask me.
Recently, trolls on Twitter have made statements regarding Assange not appreciating what Ecuador has done for him. This is untrue. Under President Correa, Assange was treated decently and with respect and Assange was thankful for that. Under Moreno, Assange has been treated as a prisoner with no trial. This is due to pressure from the US government to end Assange's asylum so he can face charges of espionage in America.
In the same article mentioned above seen here, this statement is made:
"The United States says that under President Moreno, Ecuador has become a "strategic ally" and the country has re-established security and intelligence cooperation. Earlier this week, US congressmen wrote an open letter to President Moreno stated that in order to advance "crucial matters … from economic cooperation to counternarcotics assistance to the possible return of a USAID mission to Ecuador, we must first resolve a significant challenge created by your predecessor, Rafael Correa – the status of Julian Assange". [https://democrats-foreignaffairs.house.gov/_cache/files/a/8/a8a63343-fba7-4ea6-8090-5fb3d9f5d3de/7B8CEDB7545C8C99DEDB0AC0931C9873.10-16-2018-letter-from-engel-ros-lehtinen-to-president-of-ecuador.pdf]
Pressure has mounted on Ecuador to hand Assange over to the UK, especially since Mike Pence's visit in June in which Moreno and Pence "agreed to remain in close coordination" in relation to Mr. Assange, according to the White House [https://twitter.com/TimJohnson4/status/1012405586254852096]. The US case against Julian Assange dates back to the Obama administration 2010, but has been expanded under Trump to include the biggest leak in CIA history, Vault 7."
If Moreno were to evict Assange, it would be against his own Constitution. Below is the part of that document that protects Assange from being evicted.
Under international law, Julians rights are protected as well as a political refugee. Asylum is protection, not punishment and Moreno has been psychologically trying to break Assange with his indefinite isolation and now this ludicrous document. The persecution of Assange must end.
MSN is making a mockery of journalism by constantly publishing these blatant lies smearing Assange's character. In fact, any true journalists would stand up for a fellow publisher. They would stand up against the illegal violations of free speech and free press. They would expose the blatant infringement on Julians rights. Instead they spread government op propaganda and make fools of themselves and other news people.

This Nocino recipe is an original Italian tradition, a family treasure, it was given to me from my Aunt Anna, my father's sister.
It is a great liquor to offer after dinner. While a cold Limoncello is great for the summer, the Nocino is perfect for winter.
Nocino is made with green walnuts hull, which contains juglone and has antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic effects. It is also used as fungicide.
It is not easy to find at the store, so the best option is to make it at home if you can find the ingredients.
If you are not in Italy and cannot buy the 95% pure alcohol, you can replace it with vodka, but do not add the syrup.
Nocino is made in June when the walnuts are green. It will be ready for Christmas.
Cut the walnuts into quarters, using rubber gloves as the walnut stains very badly.
Mix everything in the bottle and keep in a dark place for 40 days.
Give the bottle a shake every day.
After 40 days, filter the alcohol but do not throw away the walnuts.
Make the syrup by warming up the water and sugar mix until the sugar has dissolved.
Wait until the syrup is cold before mixing it with the Nocino.
Once you have mixed everything together you can pour it into small bottles and store them in your liquor cupboard.
It is best to wait until Christmas to drink it!
Remember, if you still have some left over, it is a special treat to give friends at Christmas.
You can make Nocino Wine by putting the alcohol soaked walnuts into 3 bottles of wine (red, rose or white).Enjoy !
Great recipe! You did your Auntie's recipe some justice. I love recipes that have been generationally handed down. It makes it much more valuable.
This is a new-to-me liquor; I would love to get this as a gift for Christmas or maybe I should try to make it myself! Thanks for sharing this family recipe!
I am so game to try this liquor! Love that it is from walnuts and has coffee beans too.
This is absolutely fascinating! I have never tried anything like this but I really want to. I love the family recipes handed down and shared. Thanks for this lovely liquor recipe.
I love the sound of this liquor and there is nothing better than a treasured family recipe. Thank you for sharing it.

Obama's Trip Intensifies US Push Into South East Asia
By Peter Symonds
Global Research, November 20, 2012
Just two weeks after securing his second term, President Obama's first overseas tour—to South East Asia—underscores his determination to aggressively pursue his administration's so-called pivot to Asia. Over three days, Obama has visited Thailand, Burma (Myanmar) and Cambodia, where he will attend the East Asia Forum hosted by the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The political and strategic significance of Obama's trip is underscored by the fact that it is the first by a sitting American president to Burma and the first by a US president ever to Cambodia. While the timing was largely determined by the ASEAN summit, the US focus on South East Asia is part of a broader diplomatic offensive aimed at undermining China's position throughout Asia.
All three countries, especially Burma and Cambodia, have had close economic and military ties with China. Obama's visit is aimed at consolidating US efforts to entice, pressure and bully these countries to distance themselves from Beijing and engage more closely with Washington, especially militarily.
Obama's six-hour visit to Burma yesterday was carefully calibrated to encourage the country's military-dominated government to take further steps toward the US—all under the cynical banner of "democracy". He deliberately did not go to the military's new showcase capital of Naypyidaw, but met President Thein Sein and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi in the former capital, Rangoon (Yangon).
Obama dismissed appeals not to visit Burma by various human rights organisations, which pointed to the continued detention of political prisoners and violence against Burma's Rohingya Muslims. He declared that his trip was not an endorsement of the Burmese regime, but an acknowledgement of progress toward democracy. "I don't think anybody's under any illusion that Burma's arrived, that they're where they need to be," he told the media.
In reality, Burma's transformation over the past year from pariah state and to "emerging democracy" has nothing to do with the regime's very limited reforms. Despite allowing Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy (NLD) to contest elections, the Burmese military remains firmly in control of parliament and every aspect of the state apparatus. The so-called steps that the US wants to see are close military ties and investment opportunities for American corporations.
Obama's trip has provided the essential "democratic" disguise for this shift in geo-political relations. Obama met with Suu Kyi, whose endorsement of the regime is vital to maintaining the charade of reform. He also delivered an address at the University of Rangoon, hailing the supposed steps toward democracy and encouraging other countries to make similar moves. He named North Korea, an ally of China, in particular.
In discussions with Thein Sein, Obama pointed to the underlying purpose of the US rapprochement with Burma. He called for a further opening up of the country to Western investment, declaring that it could lead to "incredible development opportunities". The US has already lifted many of its sanctions on Burma, and Obama announced the return of USAID to the country. Major US corporations, including Coca Cola and Visa, are preparing to exploit the country's cheap labour, markets and raw materials.
Late last month, a high-level American military and civilian delegation held talks with their Burmese counterparts in the capital, Naypyidaw. While nominally a "human rights dialogue," the real aim was to resume military ties between the two countries. It is widely expected that Burma will be invited to send military observers to next year's annual Gold Cobra war games, involving the US, Thailand and other Asian countries.
The Pentagon's engagement with Burma is one element of a broader strategy aimed at strengthening US alliances and military partnerships throughout the region. While it routinely denies a policy of encircling or containing China, the Obama administration is seeking to do just that. South East Asia is a key component. It sits astride vital sea lanes on which China relies to import energy and raw materials from the Middle East and Africa.
Beijing had sought to use Burma as an alternative route by building port facilities on its Indian Ocean coast, with land transport links and pipelines through to southern China. The development of US ties with Burma threatens to cut across these plans. In a keynote speech in Singapore last Saturday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton indicated that Washington was encouraging Burma to act as a transport route between India, Bangladesh and South East Asia, rather than for China.
Much of the agenda behind Obama's trip to South East Asia has been implemented by Clinton and US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta. The fact that these top officials are accompanying the president highlights the importance attached by the White House to the US push into South East Asia.
Obama's visit to Thailand was largely ceremonial—a visit to the Wat Pho Royal Monastery, a courtesy meeting with King Bhumibol Adulyadej and dinner with Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Before Obama's arrival, however, Panetta met with top Thai defence officials last Thursday, and signed a new military pact with Thailand.
While the two countries have a longstanding alliance, the latest agreement is an attempt to woo Thailand away from China. Panetta said the US "remains committed to helping the Thai military further develop its already impressive capabilities so it can assume even greater security responsibilities in this region."
Panetta then visited Cambodia where he declared that the US would increase its military cooperation with South East Asian countries and participate in more and larger joint military exercises. "The United States' rebalance to the Asia-Pacific is real, it is sustainable and it will be ongoing for a long period of time," he said. The US "rebalance" has so far encouraged the Philippines and Vietnam to assert their territorial claims against China in the South China Sea, leading to a dangerous rise in tensions.
In Cambodia, which has close ties to China, the Pentagon is already involved in counterterrorism training, provided by a US Special Forces unit, even though there are no apparent "terrorist" threats. While the training is low-key, it has enabled Washington to establish relations with Cambodian President Hun Sen's sons—two of whom have been provided with military training in the US.
While Burma has been the media focus of Obama's trip, his visit to Cambodia is aimed at pressuring the Hun Sen regime to make a similar shift away from Beijing. Obama met with the Cambodia president yesterday in what was reported to be a "tense" discussion, focussed on human rights. He bluntly called on Hun Sen to follow Burma, where "a dramatic transformation has begun."
Obama is due to take part in the East Asian Summit and meet other Asian leaders today. Sharp tensions have arisen over the disputes in the South China Sea, with China seeking to keep the issue off the agenda, and the Philippines and Vietnam, joined by Japan, pushing for a formal discussion between China and ASEAN. These disagreements, which have been deliberately exacerbated by the US, underline the risk of Obama's "pivot" leading to conflict and war.

Return to the Site of the Year of the Rooster (2019)
Annette Arlander
This exposition is centred around a video essay, which uses some parts of Animal Years, a series of one-year performance-projects recorded on Harakka Island in the years 2002-2014, as examples to create a form of "digital autotopography". Returning to the site of the performance Year of the Rooster (2006) and Christmas of the Rooster - Tomten (2006) twelve years later serves as a starting point for reflections on the materiality of the site, on the birches growing there as co-performers, and on revisiting and assembling old works as way of doing things with performance.

The following peer review was presented to the author during the process and has influenced the final exposition. It is here presented in a slightly edited form.
Owain Jones:
The exposition fits the call very well. The paper speaks to the call "How To Do Things with Performance?" very eloquently. There is a huge amount of interest in new forms of research as practice, non-representational, performative methods for exploring all manner of situations, including landscapes, environments, identities, temporalities, and the entanglements thereof, in a range of disciplines, and in interdisciplinary efforts. How all this is then 'presented' in ways which break up the sequential tyranny of conventional written text is still very much open. This exposition offers a compelling form of multiple text and film, which does offer a coherent but not strictly linear account of being-in-landscape-place-memory-non-human agency-creativity etc.
The text is excellent in scholarly terms, drawing in key references concerning autotopography, the artistry of plants, and notions of 'staying with the trouble'.
This academic exposition sits very well with the film sequences. The repeating scenes of the protagonist walking the same path, standing sitting looking over to the island, the trees, and the changing vistas due to season/weather 'speaks' very powerfully to the affective performativity of self-in-place/landscape and particularities of environment in terms of nature-atmospheres etc, and becoming in place and time and memory. The poem overlain on the film is very powerful.
I think the films are very striking in their composition, framing and performance. I am not a filmic artist per se, so that is why I hesitate in my overall confidence to assess this. But I am actually pretty confident that it is excellent both artistically and academically.
I think this will be of great interest to a range of interrelated disciplines clustered around creative cultural geographies, practice as research, environmental humanities, and so on
Does the submission contain a description or exposition of the question, issue or problem the research is exploring? If not, does this omission matter?
Yes, this is very clearly set out in the opening section of the voice over transcript.
Does the submission show evidence of innovation in content, form or technique in relation to a genre of practice?
Yes, it does. The triptych approach in which film sequences sit alongside the two strands of text offers a multi-directional, open ended way of navigating through the very lovely images and thoughtful texts and spoken and sub-titled poem.
Is the research issue contextualized in terms of social, artistic and/or theoretical issues? Is it linked to discussion on the positions taken by other artists to whom this work contributes a particular perspective? Is the process that led to this submission well documented? If not, do such omissions matter?
Yes, I think the overall narrative of the work is very set out.
Does the submission provide new knowledge, interpretation, insights or experiences in, on, or for art or art pedagogy? What might these comprise?
Maybe this could be expanded upon a bit more. I think the film sequences are very eloquent of becoming-in-place-landscape-memory and the sheer richness of affective becoming in place along with weather, the trees, the view to the island, and so on.
I feel quite inspired by this work. I think it is a very thoughtful and beautiful piece that speaks to all the things I have discussed briefly above, about becoming in landscape and memory over time. And the scenes with the trees, and the weather, and the view of the islands, and the poem clips, speak to how we are affectively, and of more-than-human performativity in place. The poem sequence is very compelling as an evocation of 'deep place'. Over all I fully support the publication of this work. As stated above, maybe a bit more could be said in the academic commentary about affective becoming and how the films show that. Maybe the author could check the paper Jones O. (2011) Geography, Memory and Non-representational Theory; Geography Compass, Social Geography Section, 5/12, pp 875–885.
Deirdre Heddon 21/05/2019 at 12:46
Deirdre Heddon:
Yes, the paper engages with the idea of how to do things with performance and follows through a discussion around how the recording of performance can generate further performance through a multi-layered representational strategy that involves return and reflection.
The exposition raises the wider application of the performative 'how to' to more-than-human dimensions. This fits with the call, which states, 'performance is not only a human activity'. The author poses two key questions in her introduction, the latter of which took my breath away, seeming so radical in the current theoretical and conceptual landscape: 'Could the small birches in the images, still growing there, be regarded as co-performers or artists [….] Does such an at attempt to rethink the performer-environment relationship as "performing with" living beings in the landscape really matter?' I found this second question particularly exciting. Having raised it, though - and raised my hopes at an explicit engagement with it - I feel that the author perhaps 'teases' the reader rather than delivering on this expectation.
Nevertheless, I recognise that the main aim of this exposition is to explore a form of film essay and to consider how the form - the creative potential - of the video essay stages another performance and surfaces another set of questions. The film essay is not, here, offered as a final 'reveal' or conclusion, but as another creative tactic in generating further thinking, thinking through the film essay itself and re-opening the original - and secondary - performance again. The film essay allows a return to the work to be made from new and unexpected directions.
The form that the film essay takes here is the exposition's key strength. It offers an original model, through its triptych design. The three elements sit in relationship with each other, an overlapping and extending dialogue of sorts.
The creative approach to presenting a film essay, exploring the form of the film essay as a continuation of knowledge production rather than an exposition of findings. The film essay is itself performative, staging new questions and allowing a return to earlier work, bringing to the surface new thinking about that work.
The form presented here is utterly engaging, the work itself in each panel of the triptych beautifully and carefully presented. The collage of reassembled films, set in front of another, more recent film, which forms a backdrop (the birch trees some 12 years later), is exquisite. The commentary over the film, and its representation in text below, offers the viewer and then reader different modalities through which to approach the reflection, layers of engagement with the thinking. Another example of the care here is the split screen translation of The Gnome. The film essay is itself an evocative work of art, employing a collage approach to make apparent changes and juxtapositions.
"In 2012, however, I used the term autotopographical exercise4, to describe some works5 created the same year as the Year of the Rooster, in order to focus on the action rather than the result. (Arlander 2012) Today, this video compilation of a recording of a year and a day and night could be understood as an autotopography of sorts, a digital collage of personal souvenirs. " [What were these earlier works? And can you say more about autotopography as a digital collage of personal souvenirs? Where/what is the souvenir?]
"The text, a childhood souvenir, an old well-known poem by Victor Rydberg, was recorded afterwards, while editing. It was included only in the first installation version, and has not been publicly shown after that. In this context, I could not see any reason, except vanity, to censor it." [Why include it though? Why would you censor it?]
Artistic practice is at the heart of the exposition, doubly so. The film essay is artistic practice, and the film essay focuses on previous artistic practice (from 2005), alongside a more recent intervention in the landscape (2017). The artistic practice is woven through the film essay, and performs the film essay, in complex, multi-layered and overlapping strands. The film essay itself asks, implicitly, how can it be artistic practice, and how can it further engage with and ask questions of, and reopen artistic practice to further enquiry and discussion and reflection.
The exposition is timely in that the film essay is increasingly being explored as a way to present research and as a particular tool of engagement and exposition. It is interesting here to see how the form can be used to explore and represent creative practice, but not only represent - 'remake' it.
The exposition poses clear questions at the outset and offers propositions throughout. It sets the questions and discussion within a clear and specific contextual set of references - autotopography and new materialism - and it explicitly builds on the previous scholarship of the author. The film essay is an original offering, carefully constructed and presented.
There may be room for the author to reflect more generally on the film essay as a research device, in order to be explicit about the work that this film essay does in terms of its form and contribution to our knowledge of the film essay. That claim is made via the film essay as a performative device, but perhaps more could be offered on this. Why is the triptych selected as a design? What affect does the author hope this design will have on the viewer's/reader's experience. How does written text and audio-text/film correlate?
Yes, the author provides a suggested route through the triptych for the viewer. It does take some time - or it took me some time - to understand the different components and I returned to each a number of times.
The triptych design is highly original and though navigation seems initially quite complex, the movement between the panels enriches the encounter with the work in all of its stages/levels.
The strength, as noted, is the original design concept of the film essay and the proposition of the film essay as a form of digital autotopography. I have said quite a lot about this above, so will not repeat myself here.
Where I feel the exposition could be strengthened is in relation to the timely and quite radical questions posed in the introductory paragraph/abstract. I am not sure that the essay in itself, as it stands, really does engage fully with those two questions - the role of the birches as co-performers, and whether the attempt to 'rethink the performer-environment relationship as "performing with" living beings in the landscape really matter[s]?' I don't feel that these questions are fully enough engaged. Reference is made to Haraway but it's quite fleeting and there is little in any part of the triptych that explicitly digs deep into the co-performer relationship. The birches in the central film literally act as a backdrop. This could be to suggest that they are not co-performers, but scenographic objects only, without agency (to offer just one possible reading). It may be intended that the reader/viewer does the work of thinking through the status of the more-than-human environment as actor and agent here, but it is rather held out as something the author herself will do.
To take one example where the discussion of (the role of) materiality of the site seems to be deferred:
'Regarding the materiality of the site, some insights from the process might be worth noting in passing. The red scarf served as a costume, but the shifting outfits during the weekly performances for a camera on tripod turned out to be rather dominating. In future years I used a more careful dress code. Using the red scarf on my head to allude to the Gnome or 'Tomten' during the day and night at Christmas time, and carrying a small lantern with a candle, turned the same action of walking, standing and sitting into a form of representational acting, as if impersonating a gnome.'
These are interesting observations but it is not clear how they relate to the materiality of the site. They are focused on the author's performance, the human performer is centred.
In a similar vein, I feel the film essay would benefit from a little more discussion around the digital autotopography, in light of the fact that Gonzales is quite specific in her focus on material objects. The author references an earlier piece of writing about her work (2014) which refers to the digital films as 'souvenirs', in line with Gonzales theory of objects as personal memory mapping personal space. Perhaps the author's earlier writing needs to be extracted here too? There is also mention of a collective souvenir, yet Gonzales theory seems very particularly to be about the individual - the auto? The author proposes that 'The whole video essay could be understood as a digital autotopography, which could be interesting in this context'. I agree that it could be, but that fulsome discussion seems to be deferred here.
Finally, how do the autotopographical and the environment as co-performer relate or resonate? What brings them together in this film essay? How can they be brought together? I feel that this step or potential is missing.

Impacts of COVID 19 Pandemic on Nurse's Life
COVID-19 and Nursing Jan 12, 2021
Spread of the 'Novel Coronavirus' or COVID-19 led to a pandemic and had an impact on the life of most people around the world. In the USA, most people are staying indoors unless it is essential to step out of any secured location in order to minimize the spread of the virus. However, it is difficult for healthcare providers to stay indoors in order to ensure their security. The healthcare providers are regarded as the frontline warriors in this battle against COVID-19 and nurses have an important role to play in this battle. They often have to put their health at risk despite wearing personal protective equipment in order to look after the ill patients. This latest crisis has pushed the medical facilities to their limits and has changed the way nurses perform their duties. The following points show how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the nursing landscape as well as the role of nurses during this pandemic.
How COVID-19 has Changed the Medical Landscape
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly modified the medical landscape. The primary requirements of the nursing profession have always been stamina, adaptability and compassion. However, the duties of all healthcare professionals along with the nurses have increased manifold and have become complicated since the spread of the novel coronavirus. These days, registered nurses are being asked to fulfil the following challenging roles.
Some patients are becoming critically ill after being infected with COVID-19 virus. Hence, the majority of the nurses are being asked to handle the duties of critical care nurses irrespective of their specialities. This transformation is being regarded as a challenging task, as the nurses from other specialities are being trained in the following aspects of healthcare if they are supposed to treat the patients being infected with the Novel Coronavirus.
ICU procedures
Learning in detail about caring for the patients on ventilators or other oxygen-delivery systems
Critical nurses are supposed to perform a variety of tasks and the nurses from other specialities are supposed to learn these special skills before providing care to patients being infected with COVID. Many organizations, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, have eLearning courses to enable the registered nurses to learn life-saving skills.
Medical Detective
Medical researchers are not the only professionals who are collecting data regarding the COVID-19 virus. Every healthcare professional is trying to learn about the behaviour of the coronavirus to control it or to treat the health conditions resulting from this virus.
Subsequently, nurses are playing the role of a medical detective. They provide care to the infected patients and can observe as well as learn about their health condition in details. They may watch for the symptoms and patterns of infection. They can help the doctors provide the best care to the patients by sharing their discoveries after providing care to the patients as well as their insights and experience. The medical researchers may even benefit from their practical experience.
Telemedicine Provider
Telemedicine has come to focus during the pandemic This technology has remained on the fringe of medicine till date. The nurses are being trained to learn new techniques and to consult with the patients via video-chat, as telemedicine has become the new normal in the post COVID-19 world.
Safety Enforcer
It is important to ensure the safety of all patients and hospital staff at this critical period of time and nurses are tasked to enforce a facility's Novel Coronavirus policy to prevent the spread of COVID-19 virus. According to the guidelines of the CDC, nurses are supposed to distribute the face coverings and to keep the treatment areas disinfected. They are also supposed to ask the symptomatic patients, who are stable, to wait outside before being escorted into the medical facility with the proper protection to prevent the spread of infection.

Implications of COVID-19 to Routine Nurse Life
Respect to Nurses is Concern
Importance of healthcare professionals has significantly increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, around 80% of the nurses believe that they receive fair treatment from the employers and around 77% of the nurses believe that the employers care about them. However, most nurses believe they do not receive as much respect as doctors.
65% of nurses believe that their employers treat doctors and nurses with different levels of respect.
63% of the nurses believe that doctors do not have as much respect for the nurses as other doctors.
75% of nurses feel that the patients have different levels of respect for nurses and doctors.
Nurses' Life Became More Balanced in Pandemic
In the USA, 22% of the nurses have noticed an improvement in their work-life balance since the pandemic.
58% of the nurses believe that their professional skills have improved
58% of the nurses believe that they have become a better member of the nursing team
55% of the nurses feel that they have become a better human being
39% of the nurses feel that their relationship has improved with their significant others
38% of the nurses feel that they have become a better friend
27% of the nurses feel that they have become a better parent
Leadership Roles for Nurses
Since COVID-19 pandemic, around three out of four nurses believe that other staffs of a healthcare facility regard them as a leader since they have taken upon more leadership responsibilities. For example, around 61% of the nurses believe that their colleagues pay more value to their opinions since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic. However, not all nurses feel the same way.
55% of nurses believe that their opinions are not being valued properly.
84% of the nurses wish that they had a stronger leadership role.
Change in Job Roles with Same Career Options
Many nurses have reported an increase in working hours since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this is not the only change noticed by the nurses, as they have noticed changes in the following aspects of their profession.
Responsibilities or job duties
Type of patients evaluated or treated
Hourly wage or salary
Most nurses have noticed a change in their duties and responsibilities since the pandemic. However, this has not provided the nurses with better nursing career options according to some of them and one out of four nurses believes that he/she has fewer career options than before. On the other hand, 20% of nurses believe they have more career options than before the start of the pandemic.
Being a Nurse in COVID-19 is the Most Challenging
The COVID-19 pandemic has tested the limits of all healthcare professionals and nurses are no exception. They have to work harder for a longer period of time. This has a negative impact on the mental health of more than half of the nurses. However, around 1/3rd of the nurses believe that they have been able to maintain their mental health despite this pandemic.
Around 3 out of 4 nurses feel that working during the COVID-19 pandemic has been the most challenging period of their career and around half of the nurses wanted to quit the job due to unbearable work pressure. On the other hand, around 90% of the nurses like to perform their duties and they feel satisfied due to being able to provide care to the patients. The fear of infection or exhaustion could not lower their nursing spirit, as they believe that their responsibilities have increased, and their assistance has become more important than ever before.

LeMahieu vs. Machado & Harper
Drew Sarver· 3 weeks ago
"London calling to the faraway towns,
Now baseball is declared and battle come down." – The Clash, kind of.
This indeed is London, baby! The Yankees and Red Sox are set to clash in jolly old England. And, while the British baseball fans know about Aaron Judge, CC Sabathia, Mookie Betts, and David Price, DJ LeMahieu is the one they should be paying attention to.
Much of Yankees' fan base was furious when the team passed on free agents Manny Machado and Bryce Harper this past winter. But one player they did sign is currently a top-5 AL MVP candidate.
LeMahieu aka DJLM NYY MVP
Many Yankees' fans spent a good portion of the offseason scratching their heads over the team's signing (two years, $24M) of free agent second baseman DJ LeMahieu. Where would he play? Even with starting shortstop Didi Gregorius (Tommy John Surgery) expected to be sidelined for at least the first three months of the season, the Yankees still had a crowded infield. Gleyber Torres, Miguel Andujar, Luke Voit, and Greg Bird were the incumbents. The team also entered camp with Gio Urshela, Tyler Wade, and another surprise signee, Troy Tulowitzki.
LeMahieu's signing turned out to be a blessing. With Andujar gone for the season in early May, LeMahieu's value skyrocketed even further. Even with the recent acquisition of Edwin Encarnacion and the earlier than expected return of Gregorius, manager Aaron Boone keeps the league's leading RISP hitter in the everyday lineup. He has no choice.
DJLM played his first eight seasons with the Rockies in hitter-friendly Coors Field. Despite that, LeMahieu posted a .760 career OPS. In fact, the only time LeMahieu topped an .800 OPS was in 2016 when he hit a career-high (and NL-leading) .349 and compiled a .901 OPS.
After slashing .276/.321/.428 in his final season in Colorado, LeMahieu headed to the UK with an AL-leading .336 batting average and a .522 slugging percentage (SLG). His .906 OPS far exceeded both Machado's (.858) and Harper's (.827) numbers.
He's the perfect addition to a lineup filled with guys concerned about launch angles and home runs. LeMahieu has destroyed left-handed pitching to the tune of a .400 average for balls put into play (BAbip) and a .938 OPS.
To top it off, with five home runs in the last two weeks, "The Machine" has also been on a power tear. His 12 home runs are already only three behind the career-best 15 he hit last season. He's also driven in 54 runs, scored 58 runs, and topped 100 hits in just 74 games.
The three-time Gold Glove winner, along with third baseman Gio Urshela, also steadied the Yankees' shaky infield defense.
Oh, and he's stolen four bases in as many attempts.
Simply put, LeMahieu was the Yankees' first-half MVP and arguably the AL's first-half MVP. And, quite possibly the best signing of the 2018-2019 Hot Stove.
And, don't be surprised if one of Britain's royal couples names their next kid after him.
So what about those other two guys?
The Machado-Harper Waiting Game
Machado and Harper, of course, were the two biggest names on the free agent market. Everyone expected a giant bidding war, but the 2017 slow-to-sign offseason proved to be no fluke. The Yankees quickly took themselves out of the running for Harper and though they met with Machado, the team never made a formal offer.
The Phillies were early favorites to sign Harper and reportedly wanted to sign both he and Machado.
They eventually did get their man, signing the former Washington National to a 13-year, $330M (no opt-out) contract at the end of February.
Machado meanwhile, was rumored to want to join his brother-in-law, Yonder Alonso, with the Chicago White Sox. But, the San Diego Padres made a big push, inking the former Baltimore Oriole to a 10-year, $330M deal, one week earlier than Harper joined Philly.
To date, the reviews have been mixed. Phillies fans quickly got down on Harper, who sported a .222/.363/.430 slash line midway through May. He then went on a 13-game tear in which he hit .327/.368/.635 with three home runs, seven doubles, and 14 RBI.
Unfortunately for the Phillies, Harper sunk back to a .228/.343/.368 split for the first 16 games in June. As of this writing, Harper's put up a .246/.363/.465 split with 14 HR, 55 RBI, and 46 runs scored. He leads the NL strikeouts (98), compared to 53 walks.
Despite Harper's underwhelming season, the Phillies (43-38) stand 4.5 games behind first-place Atlanta in the NL East and in a tie for the top wild card spot.
It took a blazing hot two weeks for Machado's numbers to get where they are today: .280/.358/.500. Prior to that, Machado sported a pedestrian .816 OPS (Harper's stood at .814 at the time). He enters play on Friday with 17 HR, 49 RBI, and 48 runs scored. His strikeouts (69) are more than double his walks (34).
With nearly a halfway split between Machado's defensive appearances at shortstop and third base, he's been like two different players. It feels that way when he's hitting at home and on the road.
In the Padres' Petco Park, Machado has hit an anemic .236/.309/.385 (.694 OPS). On the road, he's been a terror to the tune of .324/.406/.615 (.1021 OPS).
The moral of this story is that while big-time free agents are great (and the high-priced duo will be fine down the road), I'll take LeMahieu over any of the other free agent hitters from this past offseason.
…and let's kick Boston's…arse.

North Wales plastic business reduces carbon footprint by 13%
A recent environmental audit by the British Standards Institution (BSI), showed that North Wales-based AST Plastic Containers has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by a total of 13% in two years.
The company, a leading manufacturer of high-quality plastic containers based on the Wrexham industrial estate, has seen its audited CO2 emissions drop by a further 4.5% this year after a drop of 8.5% in the previous year.
AST Plastics achieved the reduction by using energy from 100% renewable sources; implementing an energy efficiency programme which included upgrading machinery and optimizing raw material usage.
The company achieved ISO 14001 in 2019, an international standard for effective environmental management systems, ensuring that environmental sustainability is at the core of its operations. The latest annual audit against its ISO 14064-1 certificate, demonstrates its commitment to continually improving technologies and manufacturing efficiencies to reduce CO2 emissions.
Matthias Hochholzer, Managing Director of AST Plastic Containers in the UK, comments: "These results from the latest BSI audit demonstrate our ongoing commitment to improve our environmental credentials. We are proud to be able to not only produce high-quality plastic containers using the highest grade raw material, but to do so in an environmentally friendly way and with a low carbon footprint."
The production line works 24/7 from its UK base in Wrexham and recently increased its production by 20% and staff by 25% in response to a surge in demand for its 5 and 10 litre containers from cleaning and sanitising product manufacturers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
AST Plastic Containers is a leading manufacturer of high-quality plastic containers. With UK headquarters in Wrexham, the company is a market leader in the design and manufacture of plastic containers and caps for use in a range of sectors including the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The company manufacturers from six sites across Europe and distributes more than 100 million units a year to customers in more than 15 countries.

"There is not a corner in Britain where this formidable disease has not made many mourners," John Mackintosh, an Edinburgh, Scotland "man-midwife" wrote of puerperal or "childbed" fever in the 1820s.
This bacterial disease of the upper genital tract typically began within the first three days after childbirth with abdominal pain, fever and respiratory difficulty, and very often ended with the new mother's death.
Medical writers had been remarking on childbed fever at least since Hippocrates, but in the early modern era, it began to attract attention for a number of reasons. For one, it began to appear in epidemics, with very high mortality rates. For another, accounts of outbreaks were written about and published. And at least some of the new, scientific man-midwives themselves were spreading the disease by going straight from autopsies to the birth chambers of homes and especially of hospitals, without cleaning up at all in between.
There were terrible epidemics of puerperal fever in the German city of Leipzig in 1652 and 1665, at the Hôtel Dieu in Paris, France, in 1745 and 1746, and at the British Lying-In Hospital in London, England, in 1760. It is possible that these were the first ever epidemics of childbed fever.
Only one American midwife of the Revolutionary War era left a diary that has been recovered, Martha Ballard of Hallowell, Maine. It is a fairly basic document. Some entries are just a few words. Still, between 1785 and 1812, a time of incredible change in New England, Martha tended her diary regularly.
In 1990, the historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich used her own considerable knowledge of the period to connect the dots in Ballard's diary. The result was A Midwife's Tale, which won the Pulitzer Prize and other awards. It is a terrific book, and it was made into a film for PBS's "American Experience."
One of the best things about A Midwife's Tale is the fact that Ulrich has given us a fully fleshed-out picture of Martha Ballard, and has at the same time retained her distinctive voice. Ballard was a religious, hard-working wife and mother who trained her daughters and other young women to assist her, understood the medicinal uses of the plants she grew in her kitchen garden, and in her prime delivered two-thirds of the children in Hallowell.
The town had more than one doctor, but in 816 births over the course of 27 years, Martha called a doctor in to help her with a birth just twice. In all those years, Martha saw 19 babies and five mothers die just before, during or just after birth.
While childbirth rested on a community of women when Ballard began her career, one of the tensions of the book comes out of the inroads male doctors were already making into midwifery by the time Martha died in 1812.
Mary Wollstonecraft, the earliest feminist writer in English, died in childbirth in London in 1797. At a time when women were bound to the home and dependent on the men in their lives, Wollstonecraft was a professional writer who had already had one child out of wedlock, and had only recently married her lover, the writer William Godwin.
The birth began with a midwife of Mary's choosing, but when the placenta would not come out, a male physician was called in and removed it surgically. Wollstonecraft died 11 days later, at the age of 38, of puerperal fever, a wound infection.
At the beginning of the 19th century, women found their public voice. Wollstonecraft didn't have an easy life, but the speed with which others followed in her footsteps reflects seismic changes. Jane Austen's first novel, Sense and Sensibilty, was published in 1811; born in 1775, Austen was a well educated woman.
The daughter Wollstonecraft bore that day grew up to marry the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and to write a seminal Gothic novel, Frankenstein, as Mary Shelley.
Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII of England, was hardly the first woman to die in childbirth. However, her status as the mother of Henry's only son made her death in 1537, probably from puerperal fever, an outsize event at the time. Although she was never crowned Queen of England -- Henry perhaps withheld that honor until after she had borne him an heir -- Jane was the only one of Henry's six wives to receive a queen's funeral.
Jane died about two weeks after the long, difficult birth at Hampton Court Palace of her son, Edward, who would briefly reign as King Edward VI. She was mourned by all of England, and by Henry to a singular degree. He wore black for a year, refrained from marrying again for more than two years, and was buried next to Jane -- and Jane alone -- in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle when he died in 1547 at the age of 55.
Even though her importance to the country derived wholly from her status as wife and queen of one of the world's most powerful men, Jane's death in childbirth would reverberate through history.

Q: How to prove the zero product property? The zero product property states that $ab = 0$ if and only if $a = 0$ or $b = 0$. Is there any way to prove that it only works for these cases?
This question might seem odd and obvious but curiosity for a proof for this arose from a thought I had some days ago. Namely, if $a^2 + b^2 = 0$, then both a and b had to be equal to 0. Then I realised that this only holds if an and b are real numbers since any answer of the form $a = bi$ also satisfies that equation.
That's my question. Is there any way to prove that the zero product property holds for all numbers?

Common beech is a large, deciduous tree, native to southern England and South Wales.
Interesting fact: beech can live for hundreds of years with coppiced stands living for more than 1,000 years.
What does beech look like?
Overview: mature trees grow to a height of more than 40m and develop a huge domed crown. The bark is smooth, thin and grey, often with slight horizontal etchings. The reddish brown, torpedo-shaped leaf buds form on short stalks, and have a distinctive criss-cross pattern.
Leaves: young leaves are lime green with silky hairs, which become darker green and lose their hairs as they mature. They are 4–9cm long, stalked, oval and pointed at the tip, with a wavy edge.
Flowers: beech is monoecious, meaning both male and female flowers grow on the same tree, in April and May. The tassel-like male catkins hang from long stalks at the end of twigs, while female flowers grow in pairs, surrounded by a cup.
Fruits: the cup becomes woody once pollinated, and encloses one or two beech nuts (known as beechmast). Beech is wind pollinated.
Look out for: the edges of the leaves are hairy. Triangular beech nuts form in prickly four lobed seed cases.
Could be confused with: hornbeam (Carpinus betulus). Beech leaves have wavy edges with small hairs as opposed to the serrated margins of hornbeam.
Identified in winter by: leaf buds are distinctively, sharply pointed and not pressed against the twigs.
Its natural habitat extends over a large part of Europe from southern Sweden to northern Sicily. It requires a humid atmosphere and well-drained soil. It can be sensitive to winter frost.
It usually grows on drier, free-draining soils, such as chalk, limestone and light loams. Beech woodland is shady and is characterised by a dense carpet of fallen leaves and mast husks, which prevent most woodland plants from growing. Only specialist shade tolerant plants can survive beneath a beech canopy.
Due to its dense canopy, rarer plant species are associated with beech woodland, such as box, coralroot bitter-cress, and a variety of orchids including red helleborine. Beech woodland makes an important habitat for many butterflies, particularly in open glades and along woodland rides.
Beech foliage is eaten by the caterpillars of a number of moths, including the barred hook-tip, clay triple-lines and olive crescent. The seeds are eaten by mice, voles, squirrels and birds.
Native truffle fungi grow in beech woods. These fungi are ectomycorrhizal, which means they help the host tree obtain nutrients in exchange for some of the sugar the tree produces through photosynthesis. Remember to take expert advice before picking or eating any wild fungi.
Because beech trees live for so long they provide habitats for many deadwood specialists such as hole-nesting birds and wood-boring insects. The bark is often home to a variety of fungi, mosses and lichens.
Beech is associated with femininity and is often considered the queen of British trees, where oak is the king.
In Celtic mythology, Fagus was the god of beech trees. It was thought to have medicinal properties – beech leaves were used to relieve swellings, and boiling the leaves could make a poultice. Forked beech twigs are also traditionally used for divining.
Beech timber is used for a variety of purposes, including fuel, furniture, cooking utensils, tool handles and sports equipment. The wood burns well and was traditionally used to smoke herring. The edible nuts, or masts, were once used to feed pigs, and in France they are still sometimes roasted and used as a coffee substitute.
Beech makes a popular hedging plant. If clipped it doesn't shed its leaves, and provides a year-round dense screen, which provides a great habitat for garden birds.
Beech trees are sometimes susceptible to root rot from a variety of fungal pathogens, including Phytophthora. Some trees can suffer from beech bark disease, caused by a combination of a sap-sucking scale insect, Cryptococcus fagisuga and canker fungus, Nectria coccinea. Severe infestations can kill affected trees. It is also very vulnerable to bark stripping by grey squirrels.

1) He carried Sin Cara to his best match in WWE so far.
2) He got distracted by Chavo to cost him the contest.
DB always looks strong if you ask me ..
He was hot and controversial when the whle 'tie incident' happened with Juntin Roberts but since then he has done nothing but get stuck between divas and lose his title.
Can't really say that this past SD was a burial because like u said Admin, he looked strong, and the distraction factors in alway ..
Here's to hoping things change for DB because he is one talented piece of property ..
It was obvious he wasn't going to lose because he's the only one of the two in a storyline with someone.
Bryan gets plenty of airtime but few wins. He's lower on the card on Smackdown than he were on Raw.
If he'd lost to Jobber DiBiase things would have been even worse.
Michael Cole could still be right that Bryan will cash in against a beaten down champion, even though he says he's cashing in at Wrestlemania.
D Bryan never said he would add himself into a title match from the start, so he could sneak attack at the end when whatever that match is, is over.
I have doubts creative will even allow him to keep hold of it for eight months anyway.
Yeah I also have my doubts that Bryan will actually feature in a World-Title match at Wrestlemania 28. On one hand it would make sense as the event is already headlined by Cena/Rock so Vince doesnt need a strong main-event from Smackdown in order to secure PPV-buys, but it just seems unlikely to me given that Vince Mcmahon is repulsed by Daniel Bryans look, style and indy background.
I could see Bryan as part of a triple-threat match with two bigger-name stars perhaps, but otherwise I can see this being a ploy so when Bryan cashes in early it comes as a surprise, or WWE have plans for him to drop the brief-case to someone else.
Yes. Vince is clearly repulsed by everything about Daniel Bryan. That's why he signed him, turned his release in to a big angle, had him go over The Miz, have a long US title reign, and now win Money in the Bank.
Maybe Vince likes the guy. Shocking, I know, but normally you don't pay people you despise ludicrous amounts of money.
Spot on Raven, I've been thinking exactly the same thing about Bryan, he's had a near perfect mid-card run in WWE, and winning MITB clearly says management are happy with him. I also think Vince etc have realised that he's not only an asset as a wrestler but also as good face for the company with his clean image.
Winning MITB is a great push and ensures he's going to get lots of TV/mike time and a shot at being an MEer. 8 months until WM is a long time with that case though lol.
It also helps that Bryan has guys like William Regal and Shawn Michaels who backed him up from the start. Two guys that are very respected by their peers and some of the best in terms of being technical wrestlers. I don't personally believe he'll have a fairly long reign but like Raven said, with possible Rock/Cena and Punk/HHH or Austin, you don't need that much of a big World Heavyweight Championship match to sell your card. So they can afford to have Bryan cash it in at Wrestlemania 28.
Typical wwe booking. Have the guy winning at the ppv lose just before said ppv.

then in view-user-routing.module.ts
const routes: Routes = [

    component: ViewUserComponent,
    children: [
      {
        path: 'items',

      {
        path: 'activities',
        component: ViewShipmentsComponent
      }
    ]
  }
];

In my ViewUserComponent i have ngbNav in html file

        Items

        Shipments

        Activities

In component i have function to change route
  public changeTabBySelect(ev: NgbNavChangeEvent) {
    this.activeId = ev.nextId;
    this.redirectToSelectedTabUrl(this.activeId);
  }

  redirectToSelectedTabUrl(tab: string) {
    this.router.navigate(
      [tab],
      { queryParamsHandling : 'preserve', relativeTo: this.route, replaceUrl: true },
    );
  }

when i change the tab then url in browser remain same but tab content will update with component defined with respective route.

but it remain same.

A: Please Use replaceState() function, it might be helpful.

*Glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane and is the most common type of AHA.
**Malic acid derived from apples.
Glycolic acid works in a number of ways, primarily through its exfoliation properties. Once applied, glycolic acid penetrates the upper layer of the skin, weakening the anchors that hold dead skin cells together. This allows the layer of dead skin cells to slough off, revealing the smoother and more evenly pigmented underlying skin. In addition to removing dead skin cells, glycolic acid helps to bind water to the skin to increase skin hydration leading to a healthy glow.


Sardinia is one of the fastest growing and most fascinating wine regions in Italy. Using centuries-old cultivation methods, locals have developed varieties seldom seen anywhere else, including spicy reds (Cannonau, Carignano, and Nuragus) and crisp whites such as Vermentino. Sardinia's rare breeds are now considered among the very best wines in Italy, and the rest of the world is starting to take notice.
Raffaele Solinas is one of several Sardinian chefs in the United States who are taking advantage of the island's growing popularity as a tourist destination and respected wine region. In 2002, Solinas opened Osteria del Sole on a leafy corner in New York City's Greenwich Village, proudly showcasing traditional Sardinian fare and a full range of the island's wines. Encouraged by crowds of regulars, he opened Assenzio in the East Village a year later, securing a Sardinian presence across downtown Manhattan. Read on for his authentic Sardinian recipes and tips.

Florida Municipal Electric Association Names Amy Zubaly New Executive Director
Zubaly is the first woman to lead the organization
The Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) Board of Directors today named Amy Zubaly executive director of the association. Since January, Zubaly has been serving as the interim executive director. In her role as the permanent executive director, Zubaly will continue to manage the day-to-day operations of the association, handle member and board relations, oversee the association's government affairs, communications and education functions and provide strategic planning.
"As we celebrate our 75th anniversary and rich history, it's fitting that Amy – the first woman to serve as the association's executive director – lead us into the future," said Clay Lindstrom, FMEA President and Fort Pierce Utilities Authority General Manager. "Amy's long record of service to the organization and her deep understanding of the issues important to our members make her ideal for this role. We look forward to taking the association in new directions under her leadership."
Prior to assuming the interim executive director position, Zubaly served as the association's deputy executive director of public affairs and strategic communications. She has been with the organization for 18 years. Earlier in her career she held positions with The Nature Conservancy, Florida Chapter, Florida Institute of Government at Florida State University and Reubin O'D. Askew School of Public Administration and Policy at Florida State University. Additionally, she served as assistant director of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Local Government II and a research assistant for the Blue Ribbon Citizens Commission on Cabinet Reform. Zubaly earned her Master of Public Administration and Bachelor of Science in political science from Florida State University.
"It is a great honor to continue serving FMEA in this capacity and I deeply appreciate the board's confidence in me," said Zubaly. "I am thankful for the opportunity to lead FMEA as we provide support and advocacy for our members today and into the future. The membership of FMEA are vital to Floridians across the state and we will continue to ensure they have the tools they need to build strong communities."
Originally called the Florida Municipal Utilities Association, FMEA was established in 1942 in response to World War II fuel shortages. Today, the association actively represents and advocates for member cities' interests on a wide variety of state and federal issues, provides education and training for members and serves as a clearinghouse for industry news and information.
Municipal electric utilities provide affordable, reliable electric service, and have been doing so for more than a century. As community-owned and locally managed organizations, these utilities are focused on serving local needs and interests while reinvesting back into the community for services, such as police and fire protection.
