My solution: This doesn't seem right.
for i in range(1, len(b)+1):
    for k,v in i.items():
        if len(re.findall(r'\w+',k[i])<3:
               del  b[k]

A: It is always good to use comprehensions. Because normally you shouldn't delete elements from lists or dicts while you iterate over it - this it very bad style and can cause errors. So it is better to create new dicts and lists, and replace the old list by the new one For updating the dict i would use:
{k:v for k,v in d.items if len(v.split(" "))>2}

In this case d is the dict. Now you can simply update/recreate the list with a list comprehension:
result = [{k:v for k,v in d.items() if len(k.split(" "))>2} for d in b]

A: i is a number, so i.items() makes no sense. Since i is an index into the list, it should be b[i].items().
But your range is wrong. List indexes start at 0, not 1, so it should be range(0, len(b)). But Python provides a simpler way to iterate over all the elements of a list:
for d in b:

So to filter out all the items that don't have 3 words in the key, it should be:
for d in b:
    for k in d:
        if len(re.findall(r'\w+',k)<3:
            del d[k]

A: Try
out = []
for item in b:
    d = dict()
    for key in item.keys():
        if len(key.split())>2:
            d[key] = item[key]
    out.append(d)

Electric Sheep – reviews
Check it out, Cinema releases
April 25, 2013 Pam Jahn
Format: Cinema
Release date: 26 April 2013
Distributor: New Wave Films
Director: Sergei Loznitsa
Writer: Sergei Loznitsa
Based on the novel by: Vasil Bykov
Cast: Vladimir Svirskiy, Vladislav Abashin, Sergei Kolesov
Original title: V tumane
Germany, Russia, Latvia, Belarus 2012
Based on the novel of the same name by Vasil Bykov, Sergei Loznitsa's follow up to the wonderful My Joy is a hard-hitting, brilliant experience. The year is 1942 and the place is the Western frontier of the USSR – Sushenya (Vladimir Svirskiy) is suspected of collaborating with the Germans after he is let go when three of his co-workers are hung. Two partisans, Burov (Vladislav Abashin) and Voitik (Sergei Kolesov) are given the task of killing Sushenya in punishment for his crime. However, what awaits the trio is much darker than they could have anticipated…
Continuing his exploration of the dark heart of the Russian people, Loznistsa constructs a brutal but paced affair. Reminiscent of The Killers (1946) in its opening act, the film unravels to show exactly how the darkness operates – In the Fog can almost be considered a companion to Loznitsa's previous work – the bleak landscape reminiscent of the road in My Joy, while the guilt the characters carry can be seen as being handed down through the ages.
Although the deliberate pacing might put off viewers, those willing to invest their time will find a film that's dripping with atmosphere: eschewing the black-and-white morality of big-budgeted epics, Loznitsa constructs a personal journey to hell.
The cinematography washes the barren landscape out even to the point of indiscrimination – these places are beyond the audience's imagination. The harsh winter is reflected in the way the light constantly bleaches the surroundings. The lengthy takes almost dare the audience to look away, while the performance of Vladimir Svirskiy is nothing less than mesmerising: his take on a man whose guilt has long been assumed before any proof is produced is both angry and laden with the weight of a thousand resignations.
The other mention must go to Grossmeier, played with aplomb by Vlad Ivanov, who is perfect at bringing the phrase 'the banality of evil' to life. His cruelty, the moving force of the tragedy on the screen, is indeed one of the most affecting performances anyone can hope to see on the big screen this year.
All in all, In The Fog is one of the most impressive films of this year, a brutal tale told in the most languid language imaginable. Unmissable and a terrific step forward for Sergei Loznitsa.

Director: Jerry Schatzberg
Writer: Garry Michael White
Cast: Al Pacino, Gene Hackman
The road movie genre and the vast geographical and often turbulent social landscape of the United States of America have, over the years, proved endlessly fertile territory for filmmakers, writers and actors alike. Counter-culture dropouts, anti-heroes (and heroines), warring families, dispossessed loners and happy-go-lucky friends have travelled the length and breadth of the US on journeys always as emotionally affecting as they are literal, whatever the destinations or eventual narrative resolutions. The late 1960s and early 1970s in particular saw a spate of such movies, an entirely understandable outcome given the radical social upheavals of the era, with the likes of Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider (1969), Monte Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) and Five Easy Pieces (Bob Rafelson,1970) rubbing contemporaneous shoulders with Steven Spielberg's The Sugarland Express (1974), Vanishing Point (Richard Sarafian, 1971) and Hal Ashby's The Last Detail (1973).
Amid these releases, Jerry Schatzberg, fresh from directing a young Al Pacino as Bobby in The Panic in Needle Park (1971), gave audiences his own take on the genre in the shape of the Palme d'Or winning Scarecrow. Again featuring Pacino, this time as Francis Lionel 'Lion' Delbuchi, a good natured but emotionally immature ex-sailor, alongside Gene Hackman as volatile ex-convict Max Millan, Scarecrow 's narrative journey follows the path of those on the margins of society. Working-class drifters rather than counter-culture rebels, Lion and Max, one a bundle of naïvety, energy and humour, the other ill-tempered, uptight and world weary, are both searching for something, anything, to give their lives direction. Hoboing their way from California to Pittsburgh, where Max dreams of opening a car wash, the apposite personalities (exemplified by Pacino and Hackman's contrasting acting styles) come to have a profound effect on each other during their sometimes comedic, other times brutal, experiences. Lion and Max's adult coming-of-age journeys become inextricably linked as their buddy-movie partnership is tested both by outside forces and their own, very recognizable, human foibles.
Dust bowl landscapes, railroad sidings, flea-pit bars, roadside diners, correctional facilities and industrial wastelands on the outskirts of cities are the environments inhabited by Lion and Max, aptly mirroring their outsider status. The spaces and places traversed and visited are peopled by non-professional extras and stunningly captured in widescreen by Vilmos Zsigmond, who would later shoot Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Steven Spielberg, 1977), The Deer Hunter (Michael Cimino, 1978) and Blow Out (Brian De Palma, 1981) among many others. Issues surrounding the American Dream, adult responsibilities, social status and masculinity are filtered through Lion and Max's changing relationship, with Garry Michael White's impressive debut screenplay giving Pacino and Hackman plenty of scope for impassioned monologues and quick-fire, semi-improvised dialogue interplay. Schatzberg directs in a loose-limbed fashion that fits the unsettled, scatter-shot lifestyles of his central protagonists. Short snappy vignettes flow into longer, sprawling sequences with overt comedy interrupted by outbursts of violence, reflective melancholy, casual cruelty and genuine tenderness.
Now forty years after its original release, Schatzberg's sprawling drama has been fully digitally restored and plays for two weeks at the BFI during April and May. With its two peerless leads delivering riveting performances, this snapshot of the landscape of early 1970s America – external and internal – is a fine entry into the road movie canon.

The ABCs of Death
Distributor: Monster Pictures
Directors: Various, including Adrián García Bogliano, Marcel Sarmiento, Angela Bettis, Noburo Iguchi, Jorge Michel Grau, Yûdai Yamaguchi, Anders Morgenthaler, Timo Tjahjanto, Ti West, Bruno Forzani & Hélène Cattet, Srdjan Spasojevic, Jake West, Lee Hardcastle, Ben Wheatley, Xavier Gens, Jason Eisener, Yoshihiro Nishimura
USA/New Zealand 2012
A high-concept portmanteau piece for which 26 modern horror directors were assigned with a letter of the alphabet and tasked with creating a short film. The resulting 123 minutes, from A for Apocalypse to Z for Zetsumetzu is, as you might expect, a mixed bag, with low-key, lo-fi naturalism next to cartoon expressionism, art house butting up against gross animation.
The batting average for the shorts is pretty high overall, with few outright duds. The problem is that most of the contributors come from a similar age, sex and mindset, resulting in a cumulative blokey, snarky chat-room feel as the film progresses – a battle to be more transgressive, freaky and cool, with surprisingly few films aiming to actually scare you. The viewer starts to feel somewhat numb, clocking up where they are in the alphabet and wondering how much more T & A, toilets, reflex post-modernism, bugs and Cronenbergian ickiness they can take.
For the record, Timo Tjahjanto wins the sickness race with Libido; Ben Wheatley delivers a sharp, subjective camera shock with Unearthed; Hydro-Electric Diffusion is agreeably bonkers; Quack and WTF are pretty funny, in a knowing, American smartarse way; Youngbuck winningly feels like a twisted loveletter to the 80's high school movie and Fart and Zetsumetsu (both Japanese) seem determined to throw as much weirdness as possible at the screen in the hope that some of it might mean something. For my money, the real standouts were Dogfight by Marcel Samiento, a jagged little tale with a political edge that is scored, edited and shot to perfection, and Forzani/Cattet's Orgasm, which is a beautiful, erotic semi-abstract nightmare unlike anything else around it. But hell, dive in, there's something to upset everyone.

Cast: Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Jessica Lucas
Better than the dismal Texas Chain Saw 3D but not as brutal and affecting as Franck Khalfoun's Maniac, Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead is the third remake of an influential American horror film from the 70s and 80s to be released so far this year. Produced by the star and the director of the 1981 original, Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi, the remake is an undemandingly fun and instantly forgettable update that provides the required amounts of blood, gore and demonic possession, although no real scares or re-invention.
This time, the five who fall victim to the demonic forces unleashed by the reading of the flesh-bound book of the dead are a group of friends who have come to the iconic cabin in the woods to help drug-addicted Mia as she goes cold turkey. There is marginally more characterisation than in the original Evil Dead, with the difficult family history of Mia and her brother, and a parallel between drug addiction and demonic possession. Thankfully, this is not pushed too much, but just enough information is given for the film to play nicely with audiences' expectations as to which of the characters may survive.
Some of the gruesome highlights of Fede Alvarez's remake include possessed characters cutting off their own tongue or limbs, a nail gun attack, a crawlspace scene and a chainsaw showdown in blood rain set to an oppressive choral score – the sound design as a whole is one of the film's strengths. The problem is that so much is lifted from other films (not just the original Evil Dead, but also most obviously Evil Dead II and The Raid, while The Exorcist is clearly an influence) that nothing feels very fresh or surprising. Alvarez respectfully and competently provides the expected motifs – the demonic POV, the tree rape, the gift of a ring, the cutting-off of the only access road, etc. – with a few minor variations, but without any new twist or angle.
For a truly madcap reinvention of the original Evil Dead formula, it's better to revisit Evil Dead II, released on Blu-ray this month. While Sam Raimi's uninhibited low-budget debut established some of the horror tropes that are now taken for granted, its 1987 follow-up was a surreally comic, exuberant, irreverent take on the story, influenced by the comic sensibility of Raimi's friend and co-writer Scott Spiegel. Bruce Campbell is a hilariously hyperactive Ash, who inadvertently summons the demonic forces from the book of the dead while on a romantic weekend with his girlfriend in the fateful cabin. As he is driven insane by various supernatural occurrences, the previous occupants' daughter and her companions turn up and come under attack from the demon.
The film is a succession of brilliantly offbeat set pieces, including the wonderful dancing corpse; the diabolically laughing house; the flying eyeball that lands in someone's mouth; the terrific sequence, inspired by Spiegel's short film Attack of the Helping Hand, that plays like a macabre early Disney cartoon, in which Ash cuts off his murderous possessed hand – said hand scuttles off, squeaking like a mouse, through holes in the wall and is caught in a mousetrap before flicking Ash the finger and disappearing; and of course, the insane ending set during the Crusades.
This non-exhaustive list is probably enough to convincingly demonstrate the different natures of this month's two Evil Dead resurrections. For efficient Saturday night popcorn horror, see Fede Alvarez's remake. For riotously fun, maniacally imaginative comic horror, get the Evil Dead II Blu-ray.
Evil Dead will screen in a special 35mm double bill screening with the sequel Evil Dead II at London's Regent Street Cinema on 11 June 2017, presented by Cigarette Burns.

Cast: Denis Lawson, Lindsay Duncan, Norman Beaton, Don Henderson, George Baker
UK 1986
Come, come back to 1986, when the BBC, seemingly in a bilious reaction to the height of flag-waving Thatcherism, threw up a strange four-part fever dream of a show, a stylised class-war thriller aimed at the heart of a sick establishment. Shown once, it caused a bit of a fuss, and then was promptly shelved and never broadcast again, only to linger half remembered in the minds of a generation. 'Remember Dead Head? What the hell was all that about?'
Denis Lawson, giving his best cockney snide, plays Eddie Cass, a booze-addled, whining toe rag who accepts an offer of a grand, simply to transport a hat box from one London address to another. But things go awry, the hat box is found to contain a severed woman's head, and from that point on, Eddie seems to be the focus of a cruel game played by the powers that be, pursued, seduced, humiliated and tortured, up and down the social scale from one end of the country to another, until he finally determines to find out why.
Starting with a scene in a pub filled with smoke, Howard Brenton and Rob Walkers's Dead Head flags up its anti-naturalistic colours from the get go – The Third Man (1949) via O Lucky Man! (1973), filmed on video and 16mm, and with a dry ice budget to kill for. The cast are significantly costumed rather than simply clothed, and characters and situations shift alarmingly as comedy is followed by pervy sexuality is followed by menace. This is a world of smacked-up debutantes and gun-toting SAS frogmen, emerging from rivers mid foxhunt. The upper classes are crazed and debauched, and their shady protectors are capricious and chaotic.
It's flawed, of course, it's built on sand, a series of vignettes that barely hold together. The third part loses momentum as it takes an awkward turn into subsidised theatre-group dynamics; the plot relies upon coincidences and illogical leaps; and of course the 80's pop video stylings have dated alarmingly, but this, for my money, only adds to its nightmare charm. And the bare-faced audacity of the punchline is positively Pythonesque.
Lindsay Duncan vamps and fatales like it's going out of style, Norman Beaton, Don Henderson and George Baker pop up along the way, and Simon Callow pretty much steals the second episode as a cracked spook of divided loyalties: 'Once, for professional reasons, I joined the rather nasty little gay scene in Moscow.' Really, Mr Callow? Highly recommended.

You're Human like the Rest of Them: The Films of B.S. Johnson
You're Human like the Rest of Them
Format: Dual Format (DVD + Blu-ray)
Distributor: BFI
Directors: B.S. Johnson, Mike Newell, Michael Bakewell
Writers: B.S. Johnson, Alan Burns, Samuel Beckett
Cast: William Hoyland, Anne Hardcastle, Bill Owen, B.S. Johnson
UK 1967-1974
Throughout the 1960s until his suicide in 1973, the author B.S. Johnson produced some of the most startling pieces of literature, using a unique combination of formalism and social realism. He has been described repeatedly as a 'one-man avant-garde', and his literary works have been slowly reintegrating themselves into the public and academic consciousness, thanks in no small part to Jonathan Coe's biography Like a Fiery Elephant (2004). His film work, however, has, until now, remained obscure and mostly unobtainable. Influenced strongly by James Joyce in both literary and cinematic terms, Johnson followed his predecessor in the belief that cinema provided an opportunity to truly match form with content, and not only allow innovation in new media, but refresh the parameters of the old medium also. Now, the BFI have collected his extant film work for release on DVD and Blu-ray, with additional extras provided by the British Library.
The centrepiece is the titular You're Human like the Rest of Them (1967). It is one of the more traditional narrative pieces contained in this collection, adapted from a previously-written dramatic verse piece. In order to maintain the poetic rhythm, Johnson uses a staccato style of filmmaking, with David Lord's military drum-beat accompanying jarring cuts and abstract montage interpolations. The only young man in a physiotherapist's clinic, the teacher Haakon (William Hoyland), watches with disdain as the matronly nurse (Anne Hardcastle) chastises the older men for not caring for themselves properly. The camera jolts between a blackboard illustration of the spine and the dour, resigned faces of the men, as Haakon realises and begins to rail against his inevitable slide towards mortality. Returning to an undifferentiated indifference from his colleagues and pupils, the title becomes a rallying cry: 'You are human, just like the rest of them, and the only thing certain is that you will die.'
Paradigm (1968) also confronts issues of mortality, but is more daring in its exploration of the distinction between cinema and literature. It is a masterpiece of fictive linguistics, intended to show, as Johnson himself put it, how 'the older you get, the less you have to say and the more difficulty you have in saying it.' Hoyland once again gives the human face to Johnson's theories, in characters analogous to the five stages of man. Atop various levels of an abstract pastel structure, a distorted Modernist staircase to nowhere, he gives an impressive performance despite the lack of an intelligible script, from a boyish, naked Hoyland, confidently addressing the camera with his gleeful babbles, to a pensive silence at the culmination of the piece, as an aged, drawn man on the cusp of death.
The collection also includes Johnson's agitprop work, documenting TUC protests against the Industrial Relations Bill, in Unfair! (1970) and March! (1970). There are also numerous tributes to Johnson's literary influences, from the animated calligrammes of Up Yours Too, Guillaume Apollinaire (1969), a montage piece set to Samuel Beckett's work in Poem (1971), and a documentary, On Reflection: B S Johnson on Dr Samuel Johnson (1971). Johnson's last film work, Fat Man On a Beach (1974), was completed shortly after he took his own life. An homage to Porth Ceiriad in Wales, it consists of little more than Johnson's engaging conversation with himself, ruminating on his experiences with the bay, and slapstick asides. Contrasting the warmth and humour here to his manner of death, the last shot, of the crew departing by helicopter as Johnson walks alone into the sea, is little short of heartbreaking.

Vulgaria
Format: DVD + Blu-ray
Distributor: Third Window Films
Director: Pang Ho-Cheung
Writers: Pang Ho-Cheung, Lam Chiu Wing, Luk Yee Sum
Cast: Chapman To, Ronald Cheng, Dada Chan, Lam Suet
Neither as vulgar as the title or the trailer might suggest, Vulgaria, Pang Ho-Cheung's follow-up to Dream Home, is instead a very entertaining satire about the Hong Kong film industry. The story opens in a lecture hall, where film producer To (played by Chapman To) is giving an interview about the business in front of a crowd of college-age students (it's a seemingly strange framing device, but one that eventually makes very clever sense). To, divorced and down on his luck, tells the students a lengthy tale about his recent efforts to get a project off the ground, while Pang makes use of flashbacks to reveal To's convoluted, absurd and often hilarious adventure.
The producer's only lead comes via an introduction to a shady investor, a mainland gangster called Tyrannosaurus (Ronald Cheng), who has a disturbing fondness for certain types of sex (perhaps the most classically vulgar element in the film). But he has money – and insists that To remake an old porn film using the ageing actress Yum Yum Shaw (Susan Shaw). Although Shaw agrees to star in the picture, she insists on a body double, who comes in the shape of a model nicknamed Popping Candy (Dada Chan), who eventually turns out to be not only much smarter than she first appears, but easily one of the best characters in Vulgaria.
There are genuine laugh-out-loud moments – some of the humour may be gross, some is definitely completely ridiculous. Yet, Pan certainly makes the case for the vulgarity of the industry by making fun of all the players involved – producers, directors and actors – and not to mention the audience.

Director: Derek Cianfrance
Writers: Derek Cianfrance, Ben Coccio, Darius Marder
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, Ben Mendolsohn, Ray Liotta, Dane DeHaan
For everyone who wasn't into Derek Cianfrance's eccentric, love and break-up story Blue Valentine (2010), the director's latest offering starts off as a more thrilling, tense and ambiguous piece of work, not least in terms of making use of a fast-paced, crime-drama plot to explore the troubled mindset of his lead character, who finds himself confronted with his own actions and liabilities. Yet whether an abrupt genre twist in the second half of the film, and the decision to cast another of Hollywood's currently most-wanted male actors as a co-lead, pays off to everyone's satisfaction, may be the cause of some argument.
Ryan Gosling is Luke, a stunt-bike rider who learns that he has a son by one of his ex-lovers, Romina (Eva Mendes). All ready to man up, he instantly decides to swap his life riding the Cage of Death at funfairs for some time with his accidentally found family. Problem is, Luke doesn't have the money to support the family in the way he feels he should, so it doesn't take much for his new boss and drinking chum Robin (Ben Mendelsohn) to convince him that, instead of sticking to a decent, if underpaid, job as a mechanic, they are better off robbing banks, using Luke's motorcycle and vicious driving skills to dupe the police. But soon Luke can't get enough, a raid goes terribly wrong, and then that's that. In a quarter of a second, the focus shifts to seemingly mild-minded but zealous street cop Avery Cross (Bradley Cooper), who has his very own agenda, yet his life and Luke's become inevitably entwined. After being injured during the raid, Avery plunges into a crisis that sees him dangerously caught in the system, while Cianfrance spares no effort pulling his new front man through every plot twist and turn that could possibly come out of such a premise, until all of the characters have finally revealed their true connections and colours.
Although the story becomes increasingly heavy-handed in places, and at times a little too clichéd, The Place Beyond the Pines benefits in no small part from Gosling's contribution, delivering yet another convincing performance in a nuanced study of audacity and vulnerability. As long as he sets the pace, the film dazzles, surprises and amazes if, ultimately, it turns into a moody, meandering thriller-drama that falls slightly short of the mark and its bold, epic ambitions.

Simon Killer
Director: Antonio Campos
Writers: Antonio Campos, Brady Corbet, Mati Diop
Cast: Brady Corbet, Mati Diop
Simon Killer, Antonio Campos's follow-up to his impressive debut, Afterschool, is a more sophisticated, technically excellent, yet hollow film that fails to involve the audience in the story of a seriously disturbed twenty-something American trying to get over a break-up with his girlfriend by escaping to Paris.
A university student who's studying the link between the brain and the eye, Simon (Brady Corbet) takes shelter at the sophisticated flat of a family friend. It's clear that Simon is from the same sort of wealthy, Upper East Side background that Campos drew on in Afterschool – privileged and fucked-up, too into porn and too incapable of seeing women as anything other than one-dimensional objects. But the problem with Campos's film is that, as Simon wanders the streets of the city, using his broken French to try and pick up girls, it's impossible to feel anything for him. Although Brady Corbet is a compelling actor and succeeds at times in capturing an almost boyish charm, he's playing a nasty, unappealing and unredemptive character.
Isolated and lost, Simon is eventually drawn into a sex parlour, where he meets Victoria, played by the actress and filmmaker Mati Diop. She's easily the best thing in the film, but unfortunately her performance is wasted by an overemphasis on sex and clichés. And while the film's title is certainly attention-grabbing, it's slightly misleading. Simon is not quite a killer (although Campos's intention is to explore what would make him one), but as he manipulates his relationship with Victoria, eventually moving in with her after he convinces her that he's broke and homeless, the appalling reason for his earlier break-up becomes very clear. It just seems a shame that Campos pays so much more attention to the perpetrator rather than the victim.
That is not to say that Campos isn't a talent to watch – he clearly is a very proficient filmmaker who has crafted a movie that looks great, has the perfect soundtrack and features exceptionally strong performances throughout. Hopefully Campos will broaden his scope to see beyond this type of narcissistic being in his future films.

Cramer, Multhauf & Hammes is committed to supporting our clients through any difficult family law matter with expertise and compassion. We provide excellent service and personalized representation that best fits the needs of our clients and their families. We take the time to get to know our clients, their values, and their goals.


When we look in our cosmetic cabinets and browse through all of the cosmetics we've accrued over the years, we'll probably spot a few indispensable items that scarcely leave our side, a couple of firm favourites that get a run-out at parties and on special occasions, and a whole host of items that are lucky to get a look-in once or twice a year. What we should see when we look in our cosmetic cabinets, however, are two entirely different sets of cosmetics: one for the summer months and another set entirely for use during the winter. We're not talking about seasonal style trends here, either – we're talking skincare. So why should you change your skincare routine as the winter moves into summer once more? Read on to find out.
The winter months will pose a number of different challenges to the health of your skin. The cold weather, the moisture in the air and the effects of the wind and rain will all amount to daily wear and tear if you aren't careful, so it's important to make the transition from your summer cosmetic collection to some more winter-appropriate products when the time is right.
Keeping your skin from drying out and becoming raw or cracked can be a bit of a challenge during the colder months of the year. As we mentioned earlier, our moisturiser guide will help you to choose an appropriate product for the wintry weeks and months.
While a lighter cream may be perfect for the heady days of summer, the winter months signal that the time is right to switch back to heavier products, such as cream foundation, that provide greater protection from the elements. Don't eschew SPF protection completely, however – even though it may not feel like it, those UV rays can get through in winter time, too!
Investing in a gentle combination cleanser and toner should help to stop your skin from drying out in the cold – important when you're struggling to the shops in the teeth of a gale! Likewise, an exfoliating facial scrub will help to keep your skin in tip-top condition throughout the winter.
During the summer, a number of different stresses and day-to-day influences can take their toll on our skin. It's important to look after our skin during the summer months, and the combination of heat and ultraviolet light can certainly take its toll if you're not careful. Here are just a few of the products you ought to invest in to keep yourself safe during the summer.
Whether you're staying in the UK or taking a trip somewhere exotic during the summer months, it's important to protect your skin from the effects of ultraviolet light. UV rays can damage our skin causing painful burns, discolouration and even cancer, so investing in products offering SPF protection is vital. As well as the essential sunscreens and sun cream you should look for moisturisers, lip balms and even liquid makeup containing SPF ingredients, too.
People have all kinds of different skin types, but during the summer months it's more likely that your skin will appear shiny and greasy than it will dry and cracked. Investing in gentle cleansers that will keep your skin clean without damaging it, while blotting paper will help to keep your natural oils under control when out and about.
While your skin may be more likely to produce its natural oils during the warm months of summer, you still need to keep it moisturised and protected throughout the warmer months. If you're not sure which moisturiser to use, take a look at our useful guide to moisturising for help.
The changing conditions of our seasonal climate pose numerous challenges to your skin, so managing the transition between summer and winter is crucial if you want to keep your complexion looking attractive and feeling healthy.

Couples get divorced all the time without much fuss, but famous divorces often get quite a bit of attention. You have probably heard that the founder and CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is divorcing his wife of 25 years, Mackenzie. This divorce is getting a lot of press, considering that a whopping $137 billion is at stake. Because of the significant amount of money involved, there is a lot of speculation as to what will happen to Amazon and Jeff's fortune in general after the world's richest couple announced their divorce in early January.
Amazon is based in Washington, where the couple also lives. Washington is a community property state, meaning that assets accrued during the marriage must be split equally. One of those assets was Amazon, the world's most valuable company. It is unknown if the couple had a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement in place.
Experts say that without an agreement, Mackenzie could become a shareholder at Amazon. She would receive part of Jeff's stake in Amazon and could end up drastically changing company operations. However, Jeff has just 16% stake in the company, which means he would need to sell or transfer it. Also, Jeff's stake in Amazon has declined in recent years as he looks to fund his rocket company, Blue Origin.
There are a couple of ways this could go: Jeff and Mackenzie Bezos may split the assets, with each getting $65 billion in Amazon stock. The stock could also be transferred over to a single entity, with both having control. This would make it so there are not two separate shareholders.
Given that there is so much money involved, alimony would likely not play a role. Alimony is given to spouses who need it. Even if Mackenzie receives just $1 billion, that is plenty of money for her to support herself and the couple's four children. After all, that is more money than most of us will see in a lifetime.
When so much money is involved, there is bound to be drama and conflict. However, in this case, it will be in Mackenzie's best interest to avoid any type of fight over assets. That is because creating a public spectacle could be detrimental to Amazon's operations and negatively impact her shareholdings. However, there is still the risk of a messy divorce, given that another woman is purportedly involved.
If Jeff was indeed having an affair during the marriage, it likely would not affect asset distribution unless he used marital assets to fund the affair. Examples would be hotel costs, vacations, and gifts.
While most divorces do not have this much money at stake, any divorce can still be complex. Many couples accumulate homes, vehicles, and other assets after being married for decades and splitting these possessions can be challenging.
In a divorce, assets are often split 50/50, which can make one party significantly richer and one significantly poorer. Get help from Brooklyn divorce lawyer Theodore Alatsas ESQ. He can help with negotiating a fair settlement. Contact our office to get started. Call (718) 233-2903.

The President of the CCJ, Justice Saunders today told the Attorneys in the matter that they will have to file written submissions by the 17th April, while replies to those submissions will have to be filed by the 23rd April.
Bharrat Jagdeo and Attorney Christopher Ram filed appeals with the CCJ on Tuesday, seeking a reversal of the Appeal Court ruling that the no confidence motion was not properly passed.
They were hoping that the Caribbean Court of Justice would have heard the case and render a decision before the end of April, as the current voters list expires on April 30, and a new list will have to be generated in time for the next election.
Justice Saunders says he expects that all the Attorneys in the matter will be present in Court, and not join the hearings via skype.
The Guyana Elections Commission is expected to join the hearings as a party to the mater.
Last Friday, the Guyana Court of Appeal invalidated the no-confidence motion against the Government on the grounds that an absolute majority was not obtained to pass the motion.
Two of the three Justices of Appeal ruled that 34 votes were needed instead of 33, to successfully pass the motion against the government.
They noted that a simple majority and an absolute majority could not be seen as the same.


This wave all began towards the end of the Generation X birth epode. The place he was conceived and bore was a then-young and small metropolitan known as Colorado Springs in the state of Colorado, country USA. His American father was 23 years of age and Thai mother, 16 more at 39. Mr. Green had a happy child hood growing up in Northeast Denver. Back then, he did everything that a young American boy in the 20th century could--building forts, starting clubs with friends, playing video games, and even stealing candy at the local 7-11.
For the most part, he clung to his mother tightly, being spoiled and taking it for granted. Often he was called a mommas boy but he did not care, for he loved her very much. Around 11 years old, Mr. Greens parents decided to move to a small farm-town. They wanted to get away from the city, hoping a rural atmosphere would solve the problem of their out-of-control adolescent daughter, Stephanie.
The name of the town was Bennett. It lies about 30 miles east of Denver in the flat and endless plains. Its population was under 2000 when they moved their in 1994. Bennett was the typical plains town of Colorado: A municipal hall and water tower, community center, a few small churches, old-folks home, and its backbone, the grain elevator, which has moved its goods for more than a century via the Union Pacific rail-line. The town's education facilities included an elementary, middle, and high school, as well as a county branch library. The commercial venues were limited to a video store, convenient store, bank, ceramic shop, liquor store, super-market, truck stop, and two banks. A few other shops and restaurants came and went as there was not enough business revenue to prosper.
This was a new environment for young Mr. Green. He had to adjust to a new lifestyle making new friends. At first, it was a little shaky for him. He frequently got into fights with his peers and started to get in trouble with the authorities like never before. His law violations included stealing a go-cart, vandalism and graffiti at the library, pulling the fire alarm, and theft from the supermarket.
Municipal court hearings gave Green the benefit of community service, which he served mostly at the town-hall, raking leaves and filing documents. By seventh grade, he was starting to get comfortable. As Green had always been competitive, he joined his middle school football, basketball, and wrestling teams. In English and Mathematics, he excelled beyond his peers in exams. Turning 12, he had consistent friends and was starting to create golden memories. Particularly, he became close friends with Michael Dernar. They enjoyed writing stories, staying up late, watching movies, ditching school, and making amateur skits and movies with Mike's video camera. Often, Green would sleep over at the Dernar's house.
There, he would hang out with Mike, his two younger brothers Matt, and Martin, as well as all their friends. During the summer breaks and weekends, boredom was abundant. To fight it, in small groups, they would often go to the railway bridge over the sandy dry Kiowa creek, about a mile outside of town. This wooded getaway was full of open playing space, trees, bullet shells, and cow manure. The 20 foot high tree swing there, a simple tire/rope rig, became a big hit for many.
Shortly after Mr. Green turned 13, he got into a routine of playing hooky and ditching school. Like his friend Mike, he would manipulate his mother into believing him and permitting the school to let him go home early on sick notice. School begin to bore him, his grades dropping with his motivation to even show up. This 'hookie' lifestyle was becoming a comfortable habit. Soon, his grades fell below standard for him to even qualify for sports.
His happily married father is married to another women other than his mother. In confusion, Green attempts to call his mother on a pay phone but all he gets is an answering machine with sad mournful music..
What a relief it was to wake up. That morning he faked sick to avoid school. His mother said goodbye to him on her way to work--for the last time.
The next several years brought much change, not only in environment, but in direction. His sad dream ended up coming true. Within months after his mother passed away, his father, Steve Sr. was engaged to a lady he met at one of Stephanie's group homes. The house in Bennett was put up for sale. By the beginning of 1997, they (Green and his father) moved to Thornton, a suburb in North Denver, to the new bride, Elizabeth's home. There, she lived with her 17 year old son, Christopher, and 15 year old daughter, Crystal. At that time, 16 year old Stephanie was in a group home, preparing for her early emancipation. Green resented this quick change his father forced on him and wanted to be free like his sister. His freedom was yet to come.
Around this time, he got interested in the guitar from his next door neighbor, Joe. Joe was a freelance carpenter who used to play guitar in a band during his prime years. Joe promised to help Green find a guitar in exchange for some yard-work. Searching around in pawn shops was hopeless. Finally, Joe stringed up an old antique guitar from his child-hood and let Green borrow it. Green learned rapidly and discovered a new passion in life.
Starting his freshman year at Skyview high school, aside from secretly hanging out with AJ, Green made a new friend, Jeremy, who also had a strict mother. Jeremy played the drums and wanted to start a band with his neighborhood friends, Richard and Suzan. Green was invited to play guitar. These guys were a band only in theory. Jeremy probably had the most experience with his drums, and Green was quickly learning his new passion. However, the singer Richard, couldn't sing and the bassist, Suzan never played the bass before, let alone owned one. All they had were dreams and a name, Hangnail. Soon, they started practicing together in a neighbor's garage, to the dismay of the neighborhood. Life at Green's home began to decay even more. Marijuana and adolescence affected his attitude and behavior. His father often had to go on business and military trips, so Green had to stay with Elizabeth, the evil stepmother…She tried to be strict with the troubled kid, but it blew up in her face.
One weekend afternoon, Jeremy, Richard, Suzan, and Green were hanging out at Richard's pad. One of Suzan's stoner girl friends brought over some pot. As the kids were hitting the pipe, Richard decided he wanted attention, and told everyone who couldn't breathe. He phoned the police and everyone was in panic. The police came over and everyone's parents were informed. Green was brought home in a police car. After this incident, Green was forbidden from his friends/band. All his friends being banned, he was miserable. The situation with Elizabeth and his father didn't improve.
Halfway through his freshmen year in high school, Elizabeth and his father decided Green needed a new atmosphere of friends. So they sent Green 1200 miles away to live with his Grandpa, Walt in Illinois. This new environment near the town of Troy (About 40 miles east of E. St. Louis), was deep inrural America, in the heart of the Midwest. Green made little friends and was teased by the 'red necks' about his Asian background.
Despite how miserable he made himself think he was, he still managed to make a few memories. He started his first business mowing lawns in his small neighborhood a mile north of Troy. He was able to make 20 bucks a week, saving it all for an electric guitar. He found a no-name 20 year old sunburst electric with a whammy bar for around 80 bucks. At a yard sale, he picked up a small Yamaha amplifier for 15 bucks.
After finishing the school year at Triad High School, his father and step-mother decided to give Green another chance in Colorado. He started his sophomore year back at Skyview Highschool, but it didn't last long. Things at home weren't any better. Taking desperate measures, they even put Green in a teenage mental ward, Cleo Wallace overnight. This neither proved nor solved anything, only making Green more distant from his father and this new family. It was only a matter of months before he ran away again. At first, he stayed in Thornton with a friend (female) from Skyview, Jenny Gregory, who lived with her mom and step dad. Jenny had a crush on Green, though he didn't know it at the time. He missed his friends in Bennett and realized sticking around to close to home was risky. So, he called up his good friend, Mike, and found himself back in Bennett. He felt he couldn't let go of such a past just yet.
He would finish the year 1998 in Bennett as a runaway. These were times of daze and confusion, composing many songs with a cheap 30 dollar catalogue guitar. Living at the Dernar's house on Elm Street in Bennett, Green was comfortable with his old friends. While Mike, Matt, and Martin were in school, Green would hang out with his old friend Tony Edinger, who now was a drop-out. Tony was the same guy that Green got into trouble back in 95-96 vandalizing the library. By this time, Tony was quite rebellious, smoking, drinking, and experimenting with pot and acid. He was a popular stoner kid getting into trouble with all the wrong crowds and police. And so the end of 1998 and beginning of 1999, Green got into the lifestyle with Tony, drinking, smoking, getting high, and cruising around Bennett is search of kicks—pot and liquor. One day, Green and Tony, who was on probation, went cruising around in Tony's elkimino. Tony didn't have a drivers license yet. Though the cops didn't bust or even know about Green's status, seeing Tony arrested alarmed Green. Another friend, James, who did have his license, gave Green a lift back to Thornton.
Back in Thornton, he met up with his friend AJ, who had just run away with another friend, Arin. AJ had a huge bag of weed and no place to go except the drug dealer's house. Green, AJ, and Arin, spent the night at this drug dealers house getting high. As AJ and Arin were fresh to the runaway scene, the two decided to return home. Thus, with no friends to turn to, Green decided to finally return to the system. Within minutes of arriving in front of Elizabeth's home, the cops showed up. Steve Sr. was out of town then. Green ended up in a Denver shelter/group home for a month. There, a counselor introduced him to a great school in the heart of the Rocky Mountains called Eagle Rock School. He looked into it more, liked what he saw and heard. About this time, Green was released from the group home. His father agreed to let Green stay with the Dernar family in Bennett. This time Green headed back to Bennett, but no longer as a runaway. Soon, he applied to Eagle Rock School, and got accepted for a prospective student visit. After visiting the school, he knew it was right. He was accepted for full high school tuition and board in such a pristine location.
For the next two years, Green spent his days in reflection, growth, change, and education at this school outside of Estes Park. It was a wonderful experience and opportunity for him. Eagle Rock provided the perfect environment for growth and development. For Green's ER Generation (ER 19), there were two groups of six students with 2 instructors per group that made it past the first three weeks of the trimester to be allowed to continue to the final initiation process, a 30 day wilderness trip at the Lost Creek Wilderness area deep in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. These were long days of navigating, hiking, rock/mountain climbing, repelling, camp fires, environmental service, and even a thee day solo experience. With all their gear on their backs, everyone was banned from toilet paper and showers. The weather conditions included a few snow storms, which made it that more challenging. In the end, Green and his peers proved themselves with the closing 5 mile run. Green would continue his high school education with a stronger will and focus.
At Eagle Rock, Green pursued music. He became good friends with a senior student, Mathew Mulloy, who happened to be from Thornton. Matt was learning to play the drums rapidly, and had determination. Ben Specht, from Greely, Colorado entered ERS at the same time as Green. They were close friends and Ben soon pursued the Bass. The three started jamming on a regular basis, forming a band, Musical Union. They had many opportunities to play at the school talent show's and even a few coffee shop appearances in town. Aside from this, Green also joined the school chorus to pursue his singing. Green, not only pursued his music performance learning, but also his studio composition.
During this time, however, something else was going on psychologically within. By now, Green had fully indulged into his music passion, and through it was also developing his spirituality. He soon came to a block in his spiritual path. He became depressed and couldn't figure out what was eating him.
He had to dig into his past to find the root of his pain: 1996, the death of his mother… All his life, Green had never known much concrete information about his mother. She told him many stories of her homeland and about growing up. But as far as Green was concerned, she was American even for 13 years more than he. Green had never been out of the USA and always wanted to go to Thailand as a young boy and meet his relatives there. His mother often told him that one day it would happen. Unfortunately, she died before anything could progress.
Through much reflection and inspiration from his peers at Eagle Rock, Green finally found out what his inner voice was crying for him to do. He needed to go to explore his roots. He needed to find out where he came from, at least spread the news of his existence to his long lost relatives in Thailand. From there, he did everything to find out as much as he could about his mother and Thai family. Then he saw a slideshow from another student, Matt Rutherford, who just got back from a scholarship trip to Thailand and Vietnam. This inspired Green. His new direction was to get back to Thailand, the motherland.
Matt had got the Southeast Asia volunteer scholarship from an organization, Global Routes. While in Thailand, Matt had made a connection with a different organization, Inside Thailand, to make a scholarship available annually for one lucky Eagle Rock Student to teach in Thailand for a month every year. Green pursued the 2001 scholarship but another girl, Stephanie, was chosen. This didn't stomp his dreams and he vowed for the next year.
2001, 17 years old, and even more determined, Green applied again. This time, he got the full-paid scholarship. This was the perfect opportunity for his spiritual quest.
Thailand finally came, and it was everything Mr. Green dreamt of and more. The only problem was that he was obligated to his group and teaching and was not permitted to pursue his search 100% for it required him to leave the group for a duration. This did not stop Mr. Green and against the groups will, he left the group to take care of his business.
He returned to the USA a new person with fresh goals. He went with his friends Mike, Matt, and Martin Dernar to their grandma's home near Santa Cruz, California for a month to reflect. Soon after returning to Colorado, he returned to Eagle Rock School and was kicked out regarding his decisions overseas. This was a small price to pay for what he had gained. Even though Eagle Rock gave him the opportunity to reapply for second chance, Green decided it was in his best interests to move on; as finishing Eagle Rock is a slower process. His good friend, Matt Mulloy's parent's took Green in. While staying at the Mulloy's pad in North Denver/Thornton, he tested out for his high school diploma equivalent from the state and passed with honors scores.
As he was officially not a minor at 18, it was time to be independent and save some money for his next phase. He got a job at a book store and put away almost every penny he could spare. In the mean time, He studied a few nights a week at the local community college. Finally, he had enough money for a plane ticket and a few months living/travel expenses. He set off early 2002 (2545) back to Thailand. During the first phase (see travels page), Mr. Green sought out his relatives and brother. Eventually, all became history and every single family member to be located was found.

Justin Bieber Reveals Past Pain On Purpose Tour: 'I Didn't know If I Would Get Back On The Stage'
Page Mackinley
Justin Bieber is currently wowing audiences across North America as he powers through his Purpose World Tour. In addition to thrilling one little girl who joined the superstar on stage on Tuesday night, the Biebs also revealed he had once thought he wouldn't perform again. More on that below.
During the comeback kid's sold-out show at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California, the 22-year-old invited a young girl named Mia onstage in an impromptu moment in front of a 17,000-strong crowd.
In fan-obtained video footage, the Biebs is seen talking to the little girl, who was in the pit area and asking for her name.
"Alright, nice to meet you. Wanna come up here?" Justin said shaking the child's hand after she revealed it was Mia. He then lifted the girl up onstage.
Amid the crowd's loud cheers, the Biebs asked her age ("nine"), then said to the audience, "Alright, so this is the next generation right here."
Holding Mia's arm up in the air, the Biebs told the little girl "You're so cute," and asked her for a "big hug." As the two embraced, the heartthrob asked his stage guest if she was ticklish. It was a cute interlude, and just one of the ways Bieber effectively interacts with his fans.
Aptly, the episode took place just before the pop star sang "Children," the Skrillex-produced rave-up track which appears on Bieber's acclaimed, multi-platinum Purpose album.
Watch the adorableness between Justin and Mia in the following clips.

Just as Bieber's Purpose album is a mix of redemption-spiritual-themed songs and pulsing dance-oriented jams, so are his shows. During his performance of the album title track in Sacramento, he alluded to his previous turbulent period and said that one point he'd been unsure he would ever return to performing.
"Honestly, I didn't really know if I would get back on the stage or not. That's true from the heart," Justin admitted, while sitting onstage.

Explaining, he added, "I Just… I got to the point where I feel like I kinda lost my purpose. I feel I lost just my reason for even doing this." Justin went on, "I Just lost all sight of what I really truly believe in."
The singer continued, "I think we all go through those moments of not really caring… not really wanting to keep going or doing it."

Last year, Bieber spoke about suffering from depression in multiple interviews, telling Billboard "I was close to letting fame destroy me." Fast forward to his GQ cover story in February this year, the Biebs said he had recently stopped taking Adderall because he felt it heightened the anxiety he frequently feels.
Heavy lies the pop prince crown? That's a given. With great fame comes great invasiveness. But, it's also clear that the Biebs doesn't wallow in the shadow side of child stardom and transition to adulthood. Followers of the biggest male star on the planet's Instagram account knows he is a keen sportsman — hockey, basketball, amateur boxing, fishing, pool, skateboarding, tennis — are some of his favorite pastimes. No doubt, they help shake off the blues.
So far, with the exception of two ridiculous write-ups, critics have showered the Purpose World Tour with glowing reviews, raving over the dazzling music and light spectacular and Bieber's arrival as an adult artist.
The pop icon will play the SAP Arena in San Jose, California, on Thursday, March 17. The 64-date trek will hit arenas across North America and Canada and wraps at Madison Square Garden on July 19. The European leg kicks off in September and ends in London, England, on November 29. Check out more of the visuals from Sacramento below.

Tools developers are always pushing to make the best tools that they can, but at some point they need to make a few compromises. On a case by case basis this isn't a big issue, but what happens when you only concentrate on one tool at a time instead of looking at the bigger picture of how they interact with each other? Over a 40 hour development week, those small compromises from each tool start to compound on each other, resulting in a frustrating user experience. In this talk, Workflow UX Designer Laura Teeples will walk through how to develop tools as a system rather than a set of individual features and how to maintain balance without always needing to introduce new tools. She will also walk through some practical exercises for evaluating the effectiveness of your systems so you can make bigger improvements, better compromises, and a more cohesive tool set.

'DC's Legends Of Tomorrow' Adds Joanna Vanderham As Season 5 Villain
'The Plot Against America': Winona Ryder, Zoe Kazan, Morgan Spector Among 7 Cast In HBO Miniseries
Courtesy of HBO; Shutterstock
HBO has set its lead cast as production begins on The Plot Against America, its six-part miniseries based on the 2004 novel by the late Philip Roth. Stranger Things' Winona Ryder, Zoe Kazan (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs), Morgan Spector (Homeland), Anthony Boyle (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), Azhy Robertson (Untitled Noah Baumbach Project), newcomer Caleb Malis and John Turturro (The Night Of) star in the mini, which hails from Annapurna Pictures and Joe Roth.
Written and executive produced by frequent collaborators David Simon and Ed Burns, The Plot Against America imagines an alternate American history told through the eyes of a working-class Jewish family in New Jersey as they watch the political rise of Charles Lindbergh, an aviator-hero and xenophobic populist who becomes president and turns the nation toward fascism.
'Game Of Thrones' Cast Reflects On HBO Blockbuster Before Final Season Debut
Kazan is Elizabeth "Bess" Levin, an insightful mother and homemaker, fears for the future as she tries to protect her family from the escalating political climate and plan a possible escape for the forces that seem to be threatening her world.
Ryder portrays Evelyn Finkel. The older sister to Bess, Evelyn is unmarried, her plans arrested by 10 years of caring for her infirm mother, and is hungry to find her own place in life. The sudden attentions of a key Lindbergh supporter — the politically ascendant Rabbi Lionel Bengelsdorf — are exhilarating and transformational for her.
Spector will play Herman Levin, the proud and opinionated father, works as an insurance agent and tries to maintain normalcy in the life of his family and friends even as his country seems to be slipping into fascism, anti-Semitism and xenophobic isolationism.
Boyle is Alvin Levin, the angry and intelligent orphaned nephew to Herman, allows political differences with his family, personal grudges and resentments, and his own abhorrence of hypocrisy and cant to drive him from street crime to the battlefields of Europe and back.
Robertson portrays Philip Levin, the youngest of the Levin family, copes with his own innocent curiosity and growing anxiety in a world that seems to be collapsing around him, both at home and in the streets.
Malis is Sandy Levin, the Levin's artistic teenage son, rebels against his family and his father in particular as his adolescence becomes entangled with his growing admiration for Lindbergh — a stance encouraged by his beloved Aunt Evelyn's guidance.
Turturro portrays Rabbi Lionel Bengelsdorf, a conservative rabbi and a transplant from Charleston, S.C. where he gained his first synagogue pulpit and became a widower with the death of his affluent wife, seizes the reins of history to become a key figure in the emergent Lindbergh administration — despite growing opposition within the Jewish community as a whole.
Executive producing with Simon and Burns are Joe Roth and producing partner Jeffrey Kirschenbaum, another long-time Simon collaborator, Nina K. Noble, Annapurna's Megan Ellison, Sue Naegle and Susan Goldberg. Dennis Stratton and Philip Roth are co-executive producers.
Oscar-nominated Ryder stars as Joyce Byers in Netflix hit series Stranger Things, which premieres its third season on July 4. She most recently stared in Destination Wedding opposite Keanu Reeves.
2019 HBO Pilots & Series Orders
Kazan was most recent seen in the Oscar-nominated Coen Brothers' western, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and on television in HBO drama series, The Deuce, alongside James Franco.
Spector will next be seen starring as Mayor Bobby Novack in the upcoming Suits spinoff Pearson and can currently be seen opposite Olivia Wilde in A Vigilante.
Boyle won the Olivier Award for best supporting actor for his breakout performance in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I and II. Upcoming, Boyle will be seen in the J.R.R. Tolkien biopic Tolkien, directed by Dome Karukoski. His other recent TV works includes BBC1's Ordeal by Innocence, BBC3's Come Home and the first installment of Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams.
Robertson recently wrapped the Amblin film Larry opposite Gillian Jacobs and John Gallagher Jr., which will be released later this year. He'll also be seen in Netflix's
Untitled Noah Baumbach Project and Bart Freundlich's After the Wedding.
Malis is making his TV debut in The Plot Against America. He's currently enrolled in the Integrated Arts program at Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA).

Bradley elementary schools plan to bring kids back
By Stephanie Markham
smarkham@daily-journal.com
BRADLEY — Bradley Elementary School District 61 is bringing students back for in-person learning five days per week, but school hours will be shortened and families will have the option of completely remote learning.
The Bradley Elementary School Board reviewed a handful of back-to-school options and indicated preference toward the five-day-per-week model during a meeting Thursday.
Under this model, students will physically attend school for four hours each day and complete about an hour of classwork after school with teachers on call.
Teachers will resume a traditional grading system.
School hours will be 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. for Bradley Central, 8 a.m. to noon for Bradley East and 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for Bradley West.
Students will get grab-and-go breakfasts they can take back to their classrooms to eat and grab-and-go lunches to take home after school.
Superintendent Scott Goselin said the shortened school days are being implemented in part because some classrooms do not have air conditioning, making wearing masks for long hours difficult.
"We're going to try to shorten the day as much as we can to get the kids some air time to get those masks off," he said.
He also said that since the state is recommending a return to in-person instruction, a five-day-per-week schedule seemed like the best option.
"We miss the kids in the classrooms. They miss us," Goselin said. "The more that we get them in the classrooms, to get back as normal as possible, that's what we're shooting for."
Families that do not feel comfortable sending their children back to school yet can opt for completely remote learning. After making this choice, the students would be committed to remote learning for at least one trimester.
"We've been listening. We understand that families are just having a tough time doing masks … and that's OK," Goselin said.
The board did not vote on the plan Thursday, but Goselin said the district will go in this direction. He said he would be communicating details with families in the coming days, and the board will vote on a finalized plan in August.
Also on Thursday, the board approved a 2020-21 school year calendar that brings students back to school Aug. 24 and dismisses them for summer May 26.
Board President Terrie Golwitzer said the district will follow Illinois Department of Public Health guidelines, including the requirement of face masks for staff and students.
"When we take this position as a board member, we take an oath that we will follow both federal and Illinois laws, and that is an Illinois mandate," she said. "We have no options."
Goselin said the district will also be enforcing social distancing as much as possible, enhancing cleaning and sanitation efforts throughout the schools and prohibiting gatherings over 50, per Illinois Department of Public Health guidelines.
The district will also require students and staff to self-certify they are symptom free before entering the buildings. The district is still figuring out exactly how self-certification would work, Goselin said.
Multiple options for a blended learning model in which students would alternate remote and in-person learning days were also presented Thursday, but most board members said they preferred the first option.

Bionic Commando grappled only 27k sales in May
The new Bionic Commando sold a mere 27,000 units during its first month of sale in the US this May, reports Gamasutra. Well, its "first month" might be stretching it (like a grapple arm) a bit. The title went on sale May 19, which means it was at retail for the Xbox 360 and PS3 for a little under two weeks. Although, even with that caveat, those sales figures still aren't good for the modestly reviewed title, which had plenty of promotion.
Terminator Salvation, also developed by (the allegedly downsized) Grin and released around the same time as BC, sold 43,000 units with exceptionally poor reviews. To really put things in perspective, Bionic Commando Rearmed -- the high-def remake of the classic game -- sold 130,000 copies during its first week late last year.

The bone mill is a major cultural heritage site in Lima. For almost 100 years the pounding of the bone mill could be heard over the valley, crushing bones for bone meal.
The pounding has now been silenced, but the mill is still fully operational.
The stamp mill was in rather poor condition before it was refurbished at the start of the 21st century, with the aid of a grant from the EU.
The bone mill is a reminder of the time when bone meal was used as fertilizer and also as livestock fodder. Bones of slaughtered animals were used as extra nutrients after being crushed in the bone mill.
