Tennis – ATP and Grand Slam Tournaments
The 2021 French Open champions were Novak Djokovic (Men's Singles) and Barbora Krejčíková (Women's Singles)
The French Open is the second annual Grand Slam tennis tournament following the Australian Open in the summer down under. Contested on red clay courts, the only Grand Slam event on that notoriously slow surface, the French Open is officially known as the Internationaux de France de Roland-Garros.
Named in honour of French aviator Roland Garros, the French Open is of the most prestigious sporting competitions in the world and betting on the series is very popular with punters. The set-up of the French Open tournament makes it one of the most gruelling set of matches for the world's pro-tennis players.
Taking place in Paris over two weeks in May – June each year it is the culmination of the clay court season.
For one season in 2020 the French Open took place later in the year with the dates shifted to September 27 – October 11 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Roland Garros has origins dating back to 1891, but the international tournament didn't begin until 1925. As with all four Grand Slam tournaments the French Open's major divisions are the Men's Singles, Women's Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

Over €42 million (AUD $68 million) is on offer for the French Open winners and the matches are played at Stade Roland Garros. The French Open Era started in 1968 and prior to that precursors to the French Open were the French Championships and unofficially the World Hard Court Championships.
The Women's Singles French Open winner is awarded the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen, while The Men's winner is awarded the Coupe des Mousquetairesm named after the Four Musketeers of French tennis: Jean Borotra, Jacques Brugnon, Henri Cochet and René Lacoste.
Other French Open awards include the Prix Orange for best sportsmanship and cooperative attitude with the press; the Prix Citron for strongest player character and personality; and the Prix Bourgeon award for the year's tennis player revelation.
French Open Odds & Betting
The French Open has a long and rich history and plenty of champions have graced the prestigious but dirty red clay courts in Paris etching their names on the French Open winners list. The French Open Era dates back to 1968 and as of 2019 there has been 123 editions.
The Roland Garros Stadium is host to the French Open Grand Slam.
Some of the most popular French Open betting odds are the outright prices on offer for the Men's French Open Singles and Women's French Open Singles winners. Once the French Open Gland Slam matches are set, head-to-head markets on all the games go up.
There are lots of exotic French Open tennis betting markets open on every game with odds on everything from total sets, whether there will be a tie-break in the first set, a player to win the first set and the match, the first player to serve a game to love and who will break first serve.
When it comes to Roland Garros betting a good French Open tip is to consider the surface. The clay court slows down ball play, producing a higher bounce compared to grass or hard surface courts and as such can take the advantage away from notable big servers. Plenty of other Grand Slam winners and champions have failed to dominate at the French Open for this reason, and are found at much longer odds than they would at the other three major tennis tournaments an example being Venus Williams.
The 2022 French Open is the next edition of the time-honoured tennis classic running in June of 2022 and betting on the outright French Open Men's Singles Winner and French Open Women's Singles Winner will open months in advance of the tournament.

Men's Singles Champions
The youngster male player to win the French Open was Michael Chang (17 years and 3 months) in 1989, while the oldest French Open champion was forty-year-old André Vacherot (1901). In the Open Era the oldest winner was Andrés Gimeno (34 years and 9 months) in 1972. Local French players have won more Men's Singles titles than any other country. Spain's Rafael Nadal has won an unprecedented 13 Roland Garros titles following his fourth consecutive in 2020, the most of anyone and is often referred to as the greatest clay court player of all time with a staggering singles record.
Australia's Ken Rosewall won the first Men's Singles title of the Open Era in 1968 and Rod Laver went back-to-back for the Aussies winning in 1969. However, these remain the only Australian French Open Men's Singles champions in the Open Era.
Women's Singles Champions
The Women's Singles event at what is now known as the French Open first began in 1897 and to date the record for most Open Era titles (from 1968) belongs to Chris Evert with seven (1974–1975, 1979–1980, 1983, 1985–1986). The French Championship ran from 1897 – 1967) before the Open Era began in 1968. Australian players enjoyed early French Open Women's Singles success with Margaret Court going back-to-back in 1969-70, followed by Evonne Goolagong Cawley (1971) and Court again in 1973. No Australian had won the title since until the historical 2019 Women's Singles victory by Ashleigh Barty.
French Open Records
As one of the world's oldest and most iconic Grand Slam tournaments the French Open winners have set plenty of impressive records.
Spanish tennis sensation Rafael Nadal holds the Men's French Open Singles record of most titles won (13) as well as the most consecutive French Open Titles in the Open Era (5 from 2010-2014). He later recorded four from 2017-20 to equal Roger Federer on 20 Grand Slam singles title victories. His record in the French is the best singles record ever in the open era.
One of the reasons behind Rafael Nadal's great success in the French Open is the clay court that produces a slower surface and suits his style of all out physical tennis with extreme topspin. The only tennis champions to win both the French Open on the slow clay courts and Wimbledon played on the fast grass courts are: Rod Laver, Jan Kodeš, Björn Borg, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.
In the Women's French Open Singles American Chris Evert holds the record of seven titles. In the French Open Doubles French player Max Decugis boasts the most titles in the Men's division (pre 1967) with 13, while the Women's division record Doubles title holder is Martina Navratilova with seven.

If you know me and this blog, you know I'm a big fan of etsy. So it was a thrill last week, to learn that one of my instagram connections, Megan Gray of Megan Gray Arts re-interpreted one of my instagram photos in an oil painting, which is now, you guessed it, for sale on etsy. You can view all of her work for sale on etsy here, and visit her blog here. And here is my instagram photo from last summer.
Foggy mornings are my favorite.
I think her paining turned out beautifully, and I've often thought that if I were a painter I would be inspired by instagram. Maybe it would be a bit much to call myself a muse, but I'm delighted to see my photo turned into art, nonetheless.
Thanks, Megan. It was fun to write!
How amazing that she turned your photo into a painting. She did a great job. The painting is beautiful. I love seeing your photos on Instagram. Always inspiring.
Thanks, Martha! I feel honored since you are an amazing photographer yourself!

2017 could be a banner year for movies. Here are 50 promising films still to come.
From rom-coms and sequels to Oscar contenders, here's what we'll be watching before the end of the year.
By Alissa Wilkinson@alissamarie Updated Jul 10, 2017, 10:40am EDT
Share All sharing options for: 2017 could be a banner year for movies. Here are 50 promising films still to come.
Darkest Hour, The Florida Project, Mudbound, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi are four of the most hotly anticipated films coming up in 2017.
The first half of 2017 was great for movies — but the second half of 2017 is poised to be a stunner.
There's something for everyone coming up: hotly anticipated franchise entries (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Justice League, Thor: Ragnarok, War for the Planet of the Apes); sequels both long-awaited (Blade Runner: 2049) and spiritual (The Only Living Boy in New York, Cloverfield Movie); romantic comedies (Home Again); musicals (The Greatest Showman); and a fresh Pixar movie (Coco).
There are new arrivals from a murderer's row of great directors, including Paul Thomas Anderson, Kathryn Bigelow, Christopher Nolan, Darren Aronofsky, Steven Soderbergh, Steven Spielberg, Martin McDonagh, and many more. Intriguing thrillers, important documentaries, satire, and historical drama dot the schedule.
And some of the year's most buzzed-about festival films — like Call Me by Your Name, Mudbound, and The Florida Project — are scheduled to arrive in theaters just in time for awards season.
Here are 50 movies you won't want to miss between now and the end of the year, arranged by month and release date.
Get ready: It's going to be a great second half of the year at the multiplex.
(Our review)
Release date: July 7
Why it matters: The buzzy Sundance film from versatile director David Lowery (Pete's Dragon, Ain't Them Bodies Saints) is artful, spooky, and thought-provoking. It also features an indelible scene of Rooney Mara eating pie, and Casey Affleck, fresh off his Best Actor nod at the Oscars, wearing a sheet with eyeholes.
Why it matters: Our new Spider-Man has arrived in the form of Tom Holland, and early positive reviews from critics at advance screenings indicate that good things are afoot for the franchise.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is the best Spider-Man movie yet
Release date: July 14
Why it matters: It's the cap to the best blockbuster trilogy of our time. And after early screenings, critics are positively raving.
Why it matters: A star-studded cast takes on an important piece of history, with Christopher Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight) at the helm of what looks like a visually rich, emotionally resonant epic.
Why it matters: Writer-director Gillian Robespierre's last project, Obvious Child, was an unexpected delight; her star from that project, Jenny Slate, also appears in this 1990s-set piece about a family in Manhattan.
Release date: August 4
Why it matters: Few films this year have been as hotly anticipated as this one from Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty), who teamed up again with screenwriter Mark Boal for a film about three young men murdered during the 1967 riots in Detroit.
Why it matters: The directorial debut from screenwriter Taylor Sheridan (Sicario, Hell or High Water) made the rounds at major festivals this year to critical acclaim. Wind River stars Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen as two US Fish and Wildlife agents investigating an apparent murder in Wyoming.
Why it matters: Based on Stephen King's massive, wildly popular series of novels, this movie stars Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey in a horror-fantasy-action-adventure-Western epic.
The Dark Tower trailer is here, promising fans Stephen King Easter eggs and a gunslinging Idris Elba
Release date: August 11
Why it matters: Directors (and brothers) Josh and Benny Safdie made a huge splash at Cannes with this crime thriller, which is full of chases and '90s-inflected touches. It's also a career-defining role for its star, Robert Pattinson.
Ingrid Goes West
Why it matters: The most darkly funny film to premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival stars Aubrey Plaza as a girl named Ingrid who moves across the country to try to get close to her Instagram idol, played by Elizabeth Olsen.
Whose Streets?
Why it matters: This documentary had inside, unfettered access to the Black Lives Matter movement as it sparked in Ferguson, Missouri, following the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
Why it matters: The latest from director Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12) stars Brie Larson, Jennifer Lawrence, Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts, and Max Greenfield in a drama about a dysfunctional family, based on Jeannette Walls's best-selling memoir.
The Only Living Boy in New York
Why it matters: With a title based on a Simon & Garfunkel song, it sure sounds like The Only Living Boy in New York will have strong overtones of The Graduate (which turns 50 this year). The movie follows a recent college graduate who has his life upended by his father's mistress (played by Kate Beckinsale).
Why it matters: Steven Soderbergh keeps threatening to retire from directing movies, but he hasn't managed it yet. His latest, Logan Lucky, stars an absurdly stacked cast — Daniel Craig, Katherine Waterston, Adam Driver, Riley Keough, Channing Tatum, Sebastian Stan, Katie Holmes, Seth MacFarlane, Hilary Swank, and more — in a heist tale set during a NASCAR race in North Carolina.
Marjorie Prime
Jon Hamm in Marjorie Prime.
Why it matters: There was a hologram of Jon Hamm (along with actual Jon Hamm) walking around the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to promote Marjorie Prime, a sci-fi movie based on Jordan Harrison's Pulitzer-nominated play about love and loss. In addition to Hamm, it stars the great Geena Davis.
Why it matters: Eliza Hittman's indie film, which made a splash at Sundance earlier in the year, is about a lonely teenager on Brooklyn's outer edge coming to grips with his own sexuality, as he flirts with an older man online while also starting a tentative relationship with a girl his age.
Lakeith Stanfield in Crown Heights.
Why it matters: Adapted from a This American Life episode, Crown Heights — which stars Lakeith Stanfield (Atlanta, Get Out) and former Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha — is the true story of a young man wrongfully convicted of murder and his friend's efforts to prove his innocence.
Release date: September 8
Why it matters: Another movie based on a Stephen King novel, It (which boasts a screenwriting credit from True Detective's Cary Fukunaga) is intended to be the first of two films that will undoubtedly haunt your nightmares forever.
The second look at Stephen King's It isn't trying to scare you. That's why it's so effective.
Why it matters: Reese Witherspoon goes back to her romantic comedy roots for a movie about a 40-year-old woman who returns home to LA with her two young daughters and ends up forming a makeshift family with three aspiring filmmakers. Sweet home Los Angeles?
Rat Film
Release date: September 15
Why it matters: This innovative, damning documentary takes on the history of racial segregation in Baltimore through the unexpected lens of the city's rats. It's somehow both experimental and educational, and it's been delighting and confounding audiences on the festival circuit this year.
The Force.
Why it matters: Peter Nicks's absolutely vital documentary follows the beleaguered police department of Oakland, California, as it tries to reform itself, and then discovers just how difficult that is.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Why it matters: The follow-up to the 2014 spy action-comedy promises to be just as snarky and self-aware as the first, with most of the same cast — Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Taron Egerton — and some new faces, too.
Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle sees your teaser trailers, raises you this actual teaser
Why it matters: Jake Gyllenhaal stars in the inspirational true story of Jeff Bauman, who lost both of his legs in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing but was still able to identify the suspects.
A scene from Sean Baker's The Florida Project.
Marc Schmidt
Release date: October 6
Why it matters: One of the buzziest films at this year's Cannes Film Festival was a small, colorful movie about kids living in a cheap motel outside of Disney World. Director Sean Baker (Tangerine) turns this premise into a remarkable and moving look at the struggles of America's poor.
Blade Runner: 2049
Why it matters: Few films have been as anticipated as this one, which is set 30 years after the first film and stars Ryan Gosling as well as the original's Harrison Ford. Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Sicario) is at the helm.
Blade Runner 2049's first full trailer is smart, layered, and gorgeous
The first poster for Mother!
Release date: October 13
Why it matters: Nobody is totally sure what this movie is, except that it's the latest from Darren Aronofsky and stars Jennifer Lawrence, Michelle Pfeiffer, Javier Bardem, Kristin Wiig, Ed Harris, and Domhnall Gleeson. Aronofsky fans are excited to see the director returning to the psychological horror mode he exhibited in films like Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream.
Why it matters: Chadwick Boseman plays future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall in his early days, when he raised hell as an NAACP attorney. The film retells one of Marshall's biggest cases: defending a black chauffeur accused by his white employer of sexual assault and attempted murder.
Why it matters: It's an action movie starring Jackie Chan — but in a different mode — as a father who seeks revenge when his daughter is killed in an act of terrorism. Pierce Brosnan also stars.
Why it matters: Todd Haynes (Carol) premiered his lyrical, lovely children's film at Cannes to a strong response. The story about two deaf children decades apart boasts terrific acting from its leads and a moving conclusion.
Michael Fassbender in The Snowman.
Why it matters: It's a crime drama about a mysterious murder and stars Michael Fassbender, but it's also directed by Tomas Alfredson, best known for the chilly, beguiling 2008 film Let the Right One In.
A scene from Ruben Ostland's The Square.
Why it matters: This satirical drama about a contemporary art curator whose best intentions go a bit awry left audiences laughing at Cannes, where it eventually won the coveted Palme d'Or.

Why it matters: Formerly titled God Particle — and then mysteriously removed from Paramount's release schedule — the movie was eventually reinstated on the calendar and revealed to be the third entry in the loosely connected Cloverfield universe, following last year's 10 Cloverfield Lane. So maybe we'll get more insight into what's going on in J.J. Abrams's post-apocalyptic world — though this installment is set in space.
Suburbicon

Release date: November 3
Why it matters: George Clooney is not always a great director, but he's always an interesting one; in Suburbicon, he directs Matt Damon, Oscar Isaac, and Julianne Moore in a story about a home invasion that disrupts a small town.
Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell headline in The Killing of a Sacred Deer.
Why it matters: This oddly titled movie is a wild inversion of the Greek myth to which it alludes from Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster), starring Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman as a well-off suburban couple whose lives are upended by a teenager.
Why it matters: The Thor movies are generally respected, even by people who aren't really into comic book movies, for their sense of humor. Pairing this one with director Taika Waititi (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, What We Do in the Shadows) was a stroke of genius on Marvel's part.
Release date: November 10
Why it matters: Director Kenneth Branagh takes on Agatha Christie's murder mystery with a killer cast in what looks like a very stylish film.
Why it matters: Writer-director Martin McDonagh (In Bruges) has concocted what looks like a mad, dark comedy, with a cast led by the always stellar Frances McDormand (Fargo). The release of the incredible trailer briefly set the film world on fire.
Why it matters: It's hard to know what to expect from this movie, given that its predecessor is the dismal Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. On the other hand, Wonder Woman — whose main character is also a member of the Justice League — far exceeded expectations. So who knows? Justice League is certainly the year's most high-profile wild card.
Last Flag Flying
Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell, and Laurence Fishburne in Richard Linklater's Last Flag Flying.

Why it matters: The latest from the versatile Richard Linklater is slated to open the New York Film Festival, a prestigious spot usually reserved for artfully made crowd pleasers. (Recent years have opened with Gone Girl and Life of Pi.) This one is a road movie about three Vietnam vets (Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston, and Laurence Fishburne) who travel to bury one man's only child, killed during the early days of the invasion in Iraq.
Why it matters: It's a Pixar movie, which means hopes are already high — but it's also been described as a "love letter to Mexico," with a voice cast full of Hispanic and Latinx actors. It's likely to dominate the box office on Thanksgiving weekend.
Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour.
Why it matters: The latest from Joe Wright (Atonement) stars Gary Oldman as the statesman Winston Churchill, who is struggling with the decision to either negotiate a peace treaty with the Nazis or stand for his country's ideals.
Call Me By Your Name.
Why it matters: This film was the unmitigated critical favorite at Sundance and will certainly make a run at Best Picture. From director Luca Guadagnino, it's an intimate, lush romance set in the Italian Riviera in 1983 that features, by all accounts, a star-making turn for Armie Hammer.
The teaser poster for The Shape of Water.
Release date: December 8
Why it matters: Horror/fantasy master Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Crimson Peak) tells a Cold War-era story of two women in 1963 (played by Sally Hawkins and Octavia Spencer) who stumble across a secret classified experiment.
Release date: December 15
Why it matters: Obviously, any Star Wars film will be one of the year's most anticipated. But not only is this one directed by the versatile Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper), but it's the last of the films to include Carrie Fisher; the star was slated to appear in the next installment as well, but after her unexpected passing in December 2016, the decision was made to not bring her back virtually (using CGI) for that installment. So this, sadly, is our last glimpse of Leia.
Steven Spielberg, who is slated to direct The Papers this fall.

Why it matters: Despite early controversy about the movie's historical accuracy, the latest from Steven Spielberg still looks like a barnburner, taking on the story of the Pentagon Papers with a truly all-star cast led by Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Alison Brie, and Carrie Coon.
Alexander Payne and Matt Damon talk about their upcoming film Downsizing at an event in March 2017.
Why it matters: Alexander Payne (Nebraska, Sideways, About Schmidt) makes films about families and aging with an off-kilter sense of humor, and this one — a satirical story about a man who decides to shrink himself — promises to be no exception.
Why it matters: Hugh Jackman leads a cast including Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya in a musical(!) about the birth of show business, inspired by P.T. Barnum.
Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Film

Why it matters: Daniel Day-Lewis and writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson haven't teamed up since 2007's explosive, expansive There Will Be Blood. This one is set in the world of 1950s fashion, and the fact that it's slated to release on Christmas Day is a surefire sign it's making a run at the Best Picture title at the Oscars, and probably a Best Actor nod, too — especially since Day-Lewis recently announced his retirement from acting.
TBD fall release
The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)
Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson in The Meyerowitz Stories.
Release date: TBD (Netflix)
Why it matters: At Cannes, The Meyerowitz Stories won praise for its terrific cast — especially Adam Sandler and Emma Thompson, who along with Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller, and Elizabeth Marvel bring writer-director Noah Baumbach's story of a dysfunctional but affectionate family to life.
Mudbound
Mudbound.
Why it matters: One of the most talked-about films at Sundance was Dee Rees's indie drama Mudbound, about two men who return from World War II to rural Mississippi and struggle with the adjustment to civilian life and with the racism around them. It's also got a great cast, including Garrett Hedlund, Mary J. Blige, Carey Mulligan, and Jason Mitchell.

Yet another scathing report about the state of the United Kingdom coming from a European source was issued last week -
by NationBuilder Support
.... this time from the Council of Europe, an organisation which was originally the idea of Winston Churchill. Its founding document is the Treaty of London signed in 1946 with the aim of upholding democracy, human rights and the rule of law in Europe post Second World War – what's not to like about that? PS the UK was one of the founding members.
The Council of Europe reported on the UK in 2018 asking for its anti-corruption laws to be strengthened. This new report however finds that just five out of 12 recommendations issued to the UK government in 2018 had been "dealt with satisfactorily". The Government's standards watchdog is not independent – it can only take action if the Prime Minister approves. There is no effective control on the revolving door between ex-ministers and the private sector. Matt Hancock is excused despite him owning at least 20% of a company which was awarded an NHS contract
The UK got a rating of 42% compliance, its worst rating ever, compared with previous scores of between 75 and 100% compliance.
The report also picks up on the recent scandal of ex-PM David Cameron's lobbying on behalf of Greensill Capital, where he could have benefited from millions in share profits had the company not gone bust.
Boris Johnson has shown scant regard for honesty and transparency with serious doubts surrounding how his Downing Street flat refurb and previously his luxury Caribbean holiday were paid for.
It certainly looks like the only people who do not see we have a serious problem with our democracy are those currently in power in this country.

Top Five – Chris Rock finding his stride and hitting the mark. (Film Review)
Posted by lisathatcher on March 10, 2015 in Film Reviews | 2 Comments
Top Five is a mish-mash of a Linklater-styled, black culture Before Sunrise set in New York and a schmaltzy rom-com playing by all the hack rules. I have yet to see a film where people wander around a city at night, alone or with a sig-oth that fails – it has to be one of the most successful genres going – possibly because only those with a potent grasp of dialogue and something definite to say would ever bother with it. I'm a white middle class Gen-X female, so Chris Rock's New York is an exciting and alien place to me, his mates lingo something I have to stretch toward, and his aesthetic new, that somehow manages to side step the stereotypes of a culture about which I only know the surface sheen. Apart from literature, I've never immersed myself in the American contemporary black scene (I'm like that 'stuff white people like' hack – I love jazz after its been sanctioned by white approval) fearing my own judging faculties. So a Chris Rock wander around a city I know very well and love very much, his eye behind the camera and his clever words popping out of the accomplished mouths of himself and Rosario Dawson contained delights I did not anticipate. Yes its very funny, and a little crude/sappy but when the pair stroll around discussing political dynamics from an African-American perspective, the film lights up.
It's not just the piercing brilliance of Chris Rocks observations that give Top Five its credibility, but his directorial style that posits the faux TV/rom com style romance of Andre Allen's star lifestyle against the true connection he makes with journalist Chelsea Brown (Dawson) that contains its own clever commentary. We meet Allen at a point when he wants to change his life, something he has taken concrete steps toward creating, but the result of wandering the streets with Chelsea Brown causes questioning of those choses. The scenes of the life he anticipates are stylized, conservatively shot, beautifully lit. His fiance Erica Long (Gabrielle Union) is a reality TV star exposing her 'real life' on television, the result of which is an intrusion of image on their intimacy. In a telling moment of poignancy, Allen visits a black man on the street who makes fun of him and his lifestyle, only to reveal to Chelsea as he walks away disheartened, that the man is his father. It's a moment that plays back to the Chris Rock standup days, reflections regarding black on black racism, and acts as a reverse attack on the life he's chosen, arguably a sell out on all that the older generations of American blacks fought for.
Against this, Rock plays the natural scenes of his developing relationship with Dawson with more chaotic camera work, hand-held along with diffuse lighting. In one of the films highlights, the couple go to visit with his old friends, a collection of brilliant talents the likes of Tracy Morgan, Romany Malco and Sherri Shepherd sitting in a modest apartment laughing at Allen and reminding him of when he wasn't so good. They play a game describing their top five rappers and the camera moves and flits from face to face as a sense of "real" enters the room enhanced by the extraordinary exuberance of the talented group. Chris Rock riffs of the energy in character, filling the cinema with the sunshine each character displays. It's a scene worlds away from the stylised one he's created with his fiance, that adheres to the rom com tropes and obeys the laws of social media infused television. In a very funny scene when Allen's manager (Kevin Hart) tries to talk him into the interview with Brown, he threatens him with the obscurity of Dancing with the Stars. The implications are clear. Andre Allen is entering a graded world where race and gender political issues are blurred behind the grab for the ephemeral power of the magazine cover. It's a contest he will inevitably lose as all the contestants will.
However, above everything else, including his truly great performance, is the writing that brings the very best of Rock's remarkable intelligence to the fore. Subtlety is not usually a term used when referencing Chris Rock, but it's in his delicacy of touch that his true brilliance shines. He's a fabulous social commentator, and he can write a really great script. If the subtext of the main story is substance over style, he layers the real world connection with Dawson with complex issues like alcoholism, fear of the abyss and gentle mockery of the strident political observations of the post-revolutionary in their examination of the cultures around them. It's the subtle observations that shine, particularly in two retellings of sexual moments, first Allen's explorations of a threesome that goes horribly wrong and second in Browns description of an act of sexual revenge she takes out on her lover. It's the subtle gestures impact on the experience of the moment that Rock details, rather than using real changes in the environment that include the understanding that perception equals truth. Perspective rules in a Chris Rock world, and it's his ability to tweak and alter our perception that strikes the powerful impact behind his comic gestures. Surely one of the marks of a great comedian is to tell you shocking truths about yourself to your face and have you laugh. Chris Rock excels in this dynamic and he infuses Top Five with such moments.
If anything, Top Five has left us with a great deal of hope. This is the Chris Rock we love from the stand up, and he has successfully brought that reason to love with him into the present. Unlike many of his previous films (which I confess I haven't watched) which apparently do not pack the same punch, Top Five sees him gaining a stride, a strength that might have been missing before. More films like this please. Lots more. Chris Rock has a long way to go before he's exhausted our need for this sort of wit.
PS – Top Five has a killer sound track that I didn't mention.

Good points scored here by Chris Rock.
Catch "Good Hair" if you haven't seen it.

Yeah – I've heard that's great.
I must say I wasn't particularly a fan, but this film impressed me.
I'll be hunting down more now.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your comment.

Given to a recent graduate who exhibits extraordinary professional achievements and contributions to the community.
Truth be told, if Glen Schofield (MBA 02) had known the video games he was designing would eventually gross more than $3 billion, maybe he wouldn't have gone back to school at GGU to supplement the bachelor of fine arts degree he had received from Pratt Institute.
The video game business in 1990 was a small industry, Schofield said. I moved to Crystal Dynamics in 1996 and it wasn't long before they were talking about me running the place. I figured I'd need an MBA. When video games grew from a cottage industry to a very big business, the education and degree really helped me.
Schofield got a boost from Electronic Arts when he moved to the Redwood City gaming giant before he had completed that MBA. They were very supportive and encouraged me to finish it, Schofield said.
While there, his game, Dead Space, won Best Action Game from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences in 2009. Then I went to Activision, where my business partner and I built a studio, Sledgehammer Games, from scratch, Schofield said. Next up was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and within three years we made the biggest game of them all.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, co-directed by Schofield, set all sorts of entertainment records by grossing more than $1 billion in only 16 days; it also won Best Action Game for 2011, and Schofield today is CEO of Sledgehammer Games, the Activision Blizzard studio he co-founded in Foster City in 2009.
Golden Gate got us used to speaking in front of people, constantly practicing and giving reports and critiquing, and now thats what I do talk to the press, appear on TV, Schofield said. And Im comfortable with that.
The other thing: I went from running art teams to running a business that makes $200 to $300 million or more. Our last game made more than $1.5 billion. So budgets, scheduling and all of the business education really helped me. Having both creative and business degrees in the video game industry is the perfect match.
With success, Schofield is now able to concentrate on his first love, art. Hes returning to the creative side of the business. But, he said, I am still the CEO and, with my business partner, make the big decisions. Its good to know that nobody can pull the wool over my eyes.
Schofields work appears at www.ArtBySchofield.com and www.Sledgehammergames.com.


Two nationally recognized speakers who are active proponents for telling the story of agriculture will keynote the 2019 Midwest Women in Agriculture Conference, Feb. 20 to 21 at the Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth, Ind.
Bremmer will share stories and offer ideas to help conference attendees build confidence in how they deliver their message in everyday conversations.
She is a nationally recognized speaker who started Ag Inspirations to inspire farmers to tell their stories, connect people to where their food comes from. She grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm. She teaches the story of sustainable agriculture and the role of science, technology and innovation in how we grow and raise food.
Miller will discuss how those involved in agriculture can better tell their story to consumers, many of whom don't know farmers and are several generations removed from any ties to the farm.
She is an Iowa-based public speaker and writer who works on the family farm, which grows row crops and raises beef cattle and sheep. She believes in using education and humor to reach consumers and has been featured in Forbes as among the most reputable and followed farmers on social media. She also is a weekly columnist for AGDAILY.

Mark Hamill and Lena Headey join Guillermo Del Toro's Trollhunters season 2
(Photos: Gerardo Mora/Getty Images; Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)
Ron Perlman might not be making anymore Hellboy movies, but director Guillermo Del Toro did spin out one of that truncated franchise's most captivating scenes into its own book and TV series. Netflix's Trollhunters looks largely inspired by the troll market scene in Hellboy II: The Golden Army, a foundation that has its flaws, we discovered when we reviewed the show late last year. Trollhunters' heart and talented voice cast—including Kelsey Grammer, Amy Landecker, Anjelica Huston, Ron Perlman (naturally), and the late Anton Yelchin, who voiced the lead character, Jim—keep it from being a by-the-numbers hero's journey.
For season two, Del Toro's lined up even more top-notch talent, as Screencrush reports Mark Hamill and Game Of Thrones' Lena Headey have joined the cast. Hamill has a long list of voice acting credits, but the role he's best-known for is Batman: The Animated Series' Joker. The Star Wars actor will play "the unknown older brother of one of the Trollhunters who has unfortunately "pledged his loyalty to the evil Gunmar." Headey, who stars as Cersei Lannister in HBO's ratings juggernaut, will remain in her milieu as "an extremely powerful and evil sorceress who must be stopped at all costs." They're joined in the cast by Thrones' David Bradley (Walder Frey), who will voice a character "known to have great magical powers—but the Trollhunters find he's not the mystical wizard they expected." But does he know a spell that can reverse a throat-slitting and a "family" dinner?
There's no release date yet for the second season, but Jim's voice will still be Yelchin's—the late actor apparently recorded two seasons worth of scripts.

Excavation Site - University Of Chicago | RW Collins Co.
In preparation for the construction of four new student residences at the University of Chicago, RW Collins was contracted by Canino Electric to excavate and remove a retaining wall and footings where an electrical substation will be relocated.
As you can see in the pictures below, there was an existing retaining wall filled with black dirt where the new student residences will stand. After our operator broke out the concrete retaining wall and footings using a Caterpillar 314 with a breaker-attachment, we excavated and hauled 400 cubic yards of black dirt. With the old retaining wall removed, the electrical substation can now be relocated so that the new residences, ranging in height from 4-14 stories, can begin construction.
Remove existing retaining wall with footings and excavate/dispose of 400 CY of existing black dirt.
Remove concrete substation enclosure and affiliated concrete transformer pads.

Robert Van Stanford
Robert Van Stanford, 87, of Lilburn, GA passed away peacefully on September 11, 2017. Mr. Stanford was born in Atlanta, GA, the eldest of 4, to William and Celeste Stanford. He grew up in Atlanta, graduating as valedictorian from Avondale High School. After spending 4 years in the United States Navy, Mr. Stanford completed an Electrical Engineering degree at Georgia Tech. He had a distinguished career in engineering at Southern Bell, Bell South, and AT&T. Appointed by Governor Joe Harris in 1984, he served with distinction as a member of the State of Georgia Construction Industry Licensing Board, Low Voltage Division. Married to the late Martha Stanford for 55 years, they were the parents of 4 children; Rachelle Guthrie of Tamarac, FL ( spouse Fred), Robert Van Stanford, Jr. of Tamarac, FL, Cindy Karsten of Lawrenceville, GA (spouse Tom), and Terri Schroedermeier of Braselton, GA (spouse Robin).

In this heart-stopping thriller, Detective Alex Cross and his beloved fiancé find themselves tangled in a complex murder investigation, threatening not only public safety, but their chance at happiness together.
Alex Cross is happy, but his happiness is threatened by a series of chilling murders—murders with a pattern so twisted, it leaves investigators reeling. Cross's ingenious pursuit of the killer produces a suspect: a British diplomat named Geoffrey Shafer.
But proving that Shafer is the murderer becomes a potentially deadly task. As the diplomat engages in a brilliant series of surprising countermoves, in and out of the courtroom, Alex and his fiancée become hopelessly entangled with the most memorable nemesis Alex Cross has ever faced.
Pop Goes the Weasel reveals James Patterson at the peak of his power. Here is a chilling villain no reader will forget, a love story of great tenderness, and a plot of relentless suspense and heart-pounding pace. To read Pop Goes the Weasel is to discover why James Patterson is one of the world's greatest suspense writers.
James Patterson is the world's bestselling author and most trusted storyteller. He has created many enduring fictional characters and series, including Alex Cross, the Women's Murder Club, Michael Bennett, Maximum Ride, Middle School, and I Funny. Among his notable literary collaborations are The President Is Missing, with President Bill Clinton, and the Max Einstein series, produced in partnership with the Albert Einstein Estate.
Patterson's writing career is characterized by a single mission: to prove that there is no such thing as a person who "doesn't like to read," only people who haven't found the right book. He's given over three million books to schoolkids and the military, donated more than seventy million dollars to support education, and endowed over five thousand college scholarships for teachers. For his prodigious imagination and championship of literacy in America, Patterson was awarded the 2019 National Humanities Medal.

Four wires are used in straight-through cable to connect Ethernet devices. It is relatively simple to create this type; the following schematic shows the four wires used in a straight-through Ethernet cable.
Notice that only pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 are used. Just connect 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, and 6 to 6, and you'll be up and networking in no time.
Although rolled cable isn't used to connect any Ethernet connections together, you can use a rolled Ethernet cable to connect a host to a router console serial communication (com) port with additional converter. If you have a Cisco router or switch, you would use this cable to connect your PC running HyperTerminal to the Cisco hardware. Eight wires are used in this cable to connect serial devices, although not all eight are used to send information, just as in Ethernet networking. Here are the eight wires used in a rolled cable.

Amazon Prime Day Makes Money Like Clockwork
Amazon Prime Day 2019 is behind us, and the Seattle-based ecommerce giant has come away with a boatload of money for the
Conor Cawley July 17th 2019 2:30 pm
Hope you didn't forget to get in on the sales this week, because Amazon Prime Day is officially over and the massive two-day event continued its storied history of making the Seattle-based online retailer a whole bunch of money.
With its fifth year in the rear view mirror, it's safe to say that Prime Day has been a decided success for Amazon. Launched in 2015, the sale-a-bration has become an annual tradition on par with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with huge savings on everything from electronics and clothing to furniture and food.
The event has become so huge, in fact, that Amazon has been making money on Prime Day at such a notably consistent rate that it's become the focus of ecommerce studies. And one has shown that the huge sale is bringing in money like clockwork.
How Much Money Does Amazon Prime Day Produce?
According to data from Statista, Amazon Prime Day revenue has increased on a substantially regular basis, showing that the company has clearly got this whole online sales thing down pat. The graph below shows their sales (and estimated sales for 2019) throughout the years, while also showing the length of the sale.
Granted, the hourly increases are likely fueling some of this growth, but that doesn't make Amazon's achievement any less impressive. After all, with these added hours, we could be seeing an Amazon Prime Week before we know it.
The report from Statista also points out that sales aren't the only way Amazon makes money from Prime Day. Because the discounts are exclusively available to Prime members, the sale is designed to attract non-members, perhaps even more so than making sales. And it's working, as the report pointed out that "roughly one in ten non-Prime households will sign up for Prime during Prime Day."
How Much Has Retailer Participation Grown for Amazon Prime Day?
Consumers and Jeff Bezos aren't the only ones reaping the benefits from Prime Day though. Despite a decidedly slow start in their first year, Amazon has now tapped a huge number of retailers to host their own sales during the event, driving even more users to take advantage. As you can see from the graph, retailer participation in Prime Day has skyrocketed in recent years, with an estimated 250 retailers participating in the sale-a-bration this year.
While this might seem inconsequential within the ecommerce landscape, the fact that Amazon is swaying retailers towards Prime Day is significant because of one huge retail holiday season that non-parents forget about: back-to-school.
Mid-July is admittedly a bit early to begin shopping for backpacks and pencil cases, but laptops and tablets are becoming more integral to the classroom than ever, and you can't beat Prime Day deals on those items. If Amazon can continue to draw retailers to Prime Day, there could be a notable retail shift in regards to when parents start spending money for their children before the school year starts.
Are Amazon Prime Day Deals Always the Cheapest?
With all this Prime Day hype, it's worth asking whether or not these sales are actually worth the hassle. After all, more than 100 million items were sold in 2018, so checking up on the value of these deals is a matter of principle for diligent shoppers.
Fortunately, Prime Day does offer some substantially discounted products, but the key is to not get too overzealous. While they offer low prices on some items, others are relatively unaffected, which can frustrate some hungry shoppers. After a little research though, we found that these deals do pop up at later times in the year, around the holidays most notably.
Simply put, don't break your back to find a low price on Prime Day. If you were planning on buying something anyway and Prime Day happens to get you a deal, then more power to you. But don't freak out and purchase a knockoff just because you want the discount. Odds are, you'll be able to get a lower price for the real thing if you just wait it out.

By using already baked potatoes, you can get these spuds crispy and perfect with no added oil. This is a basic base recipe for my breakfast potato. Due to varying sizes of potato I am not including measurements for the spices. I usually just sprinkle on.
Heat oven or toaster oven to 425° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roughly cut potato into cubes, or fry shape if making french fries.
Put the potatoes into a bowl, splash with water and add seasons to your liking.
Here I like to give them a little nuke in the microwave to get the chill out since my potatoes are batched, ready, and cold out of the fridge.
Now give the taters a good toss in the bowl, or a vigorous stir with a spoon. Rough up the edges a bit, it helps with the crisping.
Pour onto your parchment and spread them out. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping if you're not lazy.
At the end of the cook time, turn the oven off and let them crisp in the residual heat for about another 20.

In mathematics, a highly structured ring spectrum or ∞-ring is an object in homotopy theory encoding a refinement of a multiplicative structure on a cohomology theory. A commutative version of an ∞-ring is called an E-∞ ring. While originally motivated by questions of geometric topology and bundle theory, they are today most often used in stable homotopy theory.

Ohana Fuels partners with The Food Basket and donates $4,502.60.
Ohana Fuels helps to feed the hungry in Hawai'i County – Ohana Fuels partners with The Food Basket and donates $4,502.60.
Ohana Fuels, a TOP TIER™ brand of Hawaii Petroleum Inc., recently donated $4,502.60 to the Food Basket of Hawaii.
As part of an ongoing commitment, Ohana Fuels will continue to partner with non-profit organization that serve the needs of those living in our community by donating a portion of the proceeds from every gallon purchased at Ohana Fuels locations.
"The name 'Ohana represents a philosophy toward our employees, customers and the communities we serve", said Kimo Haynes, President of Hawaii Petroleum Inc. "It's through the continued support of our extended Ohana that our charitable contributions program is possible".
"Ohana Fuels branded its first location in April of 2012 at Minit Stop Puainako followed by Minit Stop Leilani and Minit Stop Keaau. As we expand our branded locations we will continue to partner with non-profit organizations in a significant way", said Mark Leong, General Manager, Hawaii Petroleum Inc.
Ohana Fuels is a TOP TIER™ brand of Hawaii Petroleum Inc. Hawaii Petroleum Inc. has been a leading independent distributor of petroleum products and lubricants on the island of Hawaii since 1970.

We are taking a break in 2019!
We will be taking a break at our Fairhaven location on Wednesdays in 2019. In recent years sales have been declining and have become unsustainable for most of our vendors. This has led to a lack of product diversity and reliability for customers.

As part of this process, we would love to hear from you! Simply email us at market@bellinghamfarmers.org and put "Fairhaven Location" in the Subject line and let us know what you think!

WhatsApp for Windows Phone picks up another small update
Sean Cameron Email @seancameron28 Feb 26th, 2015 in Latest news
WhatsApp, owned by Facebook, is one of the most popular global messaging apps. Though not used as frequently in the United States, users from around the world use the app on a daily basis. A great deal of this popularity comes from the sheer ubiquity of the app, users on almost any mobile platform can use the service to communicate with one another easily.
The company's Windows Phone offering has recently received another update bringing with it some small changes in functionality to better integrate with the new notifications features first introduced by Microsoft with the Windows Phone 8.1 update. Now messages in the Notification Center will display more information than before, with the sender highlighted in bold. This seems to mirror the new style of notifications seen in the Windows 10 for Phones Technical Preview, and as such can be seen as an attempt by the company to prepare its software for the release of the consumer version of Windows 10 later in the year.
You can download the latest WhatsApp update now by heading over to the download link below. Do you use WhatsApp for Windows Phone on a regular basis? Let us know in the comments below.
