Good news! "Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko" arrives on home video with our two-hours of bonus materials.
By Douglas Davidson on July 19, 2022 • ( 0 )
The latest GKids Films release, Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko, is set to arrive on home video from Shout! Factory with a host of special features that celebrate the last adaptation of author Kanako Nishi's work. In this case, the adaptation is handled by Children of the Sea (2019) director Ayumu Watanabe via animation house STUDIO 4°C (Poupelle of Chimney Town). Those familiar with Watanabe's Children of the Sea understand his experienced hand with telling coming of age stories with a magical bend. Though such enchantment is more understated in Lady Nikuko, offering splashes of magical realism versus entire sections, the film as a whole retains a wonder and magic through its exploration of relationships.
Cocomi as the voice of Kikuko in FORTUNE FAVORS LADY NIKUKO.
As a small child, Kikuko moved from town to town, picking up and leaving each time her mother, Nikuko (Shinobu Ôtake), would mistake a kind heart for a bad deal. By the time she reached the age of 11, Kikuko (Cocomi) and her mother would find shelter in a sea-side town, her mother working in a local restaurant while Kikuko went to school. Things seem tough enough for Kikuko has she tries to fit in, but things grow harder when a long-kept secret comes to the surface.
If you're interested in learning about Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko without spoilers, I recommend heading to the initial theatrical review. Moving forward, there may be spoiler details included.
Shinobu Otake as the voice of Nikuko in FORTUNE FAVORS LADY NIKUKO.
The description for Lady Nikuko is a tiny bit of a bait-and-switch as the "secret" isn't addressed until almost the literal end of the film, and it's resolved quite quickly. In fact, much like Kikuko's reaction, breadcrumbs were spread throughout the film, though likely masked by Nikuko's infectious optimism. The secret? Kikuko is adopted, her mother being a former close friend of Nikuko. The entire film different characters proclaim how different the two are, partially related to their physical differences (Kikuko slim, Nikuko not), but mostly regarding their personalities. It's not too strange for a child to develop differently from their parents, it happens all the time. It's just that, in this case, the proclamations from friends, classmates, and fellow citizens rings true. The reason to mention this is that, if one does consider this revelation a big deal, the film rushes through it toward the climax, Kikuko acknowledging Nikuko's admission as past knowledge and then the film ends. Not abruptly, mind you, but with such speed that one wonders why this was ever considered such a large secret (based on the plot description) to begin with. The entire film is from Kikuko's perspective and the narrative, as it meanders from one thing to the next, is centered on Kikuko's coming of age and the trials of being an 11-year-old in a small town. One might expect the news of her adoption to carry more weight given how frequently Kikuko herself hides from or tries to shrug off her relationship to her mother, yet it's not because she figured it out some time before. Amid so many beautiful and playful aspects of this sweet story, this portion sucks the energy from the film, making it feel like it's all building to a grand disclosure, but, like all of Nikuko's plans, it seems to fall like a stone instead. So, in a way, it's on brand?

For those who saw Lady Nikuko in theaters, the prospect of revisiting the film at home may be an exciting one. According to the release info, the Blu-ray is a 1080P high-definition transfer with a Japanese DTS-HD MA 5.1 track, while the DVD is an anthropomorphic widescreen with a Japanese Dolby Digital 5.1 track. I don't recall any English-language cast announced for this release, as sometimes happens with GKids Films releases (ex: BELLE; Promare), and as there is no English-language option, that seems to be the case with the home release. Subtitles are, of course, included on both Blu-ray and DVD editions for English and Spanish, however, only English-language subtitles are provided on the bonus features. As I only have access to the physical edition, not the digital, I can't speak to whether this is the case with the digital edition, but chances are likely they will be identical.
Regarding the special features, there is a lot included, though the joy in them may vary. Across five pieces of bonus materials, not including the three U.S. & International trailers, there are over two-and-a-half hours of content to explore. The bulk of these are taken up by four conferences/special events marking the completion of the film, its premiere, a birthday event for producer Sanma Akashiya, and a guest speaker event including members of the cast and crew. Those with some light sensitives be advised of a lot of flashing lights from members of the press and general audience members. Each of these four events enables the home viewing audience to listen to members of the cast and crew discuss the creation process of Fortunate Favors Lady Nikuko, which is quite interesting but a tad formal (even at its most informal). In contrast, the 72-minute "Making of" film is a tad more traditional in its informality, providing a sense of hanging out with the cast and crew as they make the film. This allows for opportunities to interview principal individuals about the process of casting, what it's like to record without anyone else in the room, aspects of the score, and animation. If your interest in Lady Nikuko lies with the technical, the "Making of" film is where you want to focus your attention.
L-R: Cocomi as the voice of Kikuko and Shinobu Otake as the voice of Nikuko in FORTUNE FAVORS LADY NIKUKO.
There's no big event to prep or plan for, no final assignment, or external tension, it's just a tale about two women at different stages of being who coexist together in relative harmony. There doesn't always have to be a fire to put out or a beast to save in order for a story to compel its audience. Here, the magic comes from the imagination and the willingness to see beyond what is into what could be. Especially as one is forming their own worldview, recognizing that life is all about perspective early will help to avoid some of the more basic pratfalls that someone like Nikuko may make. Having had a woman in my life similar to Nikuko (boisterous, joyful, more often than not led with her heart), Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko brings with it a special affability. But, again, this isn't her story, it's Kikuko's, and what we receive is sweet all on its own.

The staff at North Pointe Dental provides many professional cosmetic dentistry services to the Rochester, Minnesota area. Our dental professionals work hard to give you the most beautiful smile of your life. Ask us about how we can help you and your family.
We are qualified to offer top-notch cosmetic dentistry services. Our dental staff strives to provide a secure, professional environment for any procedure and grow lasting relationships with our patients. The following is a sample of the cosmetic dentistry services we provide.
Brightening your teeth makes your smile look good and loses years off your overall appearance. We specialize in making your smile look its best.
Discovering tooth decay is bad enough, but having unattractive silver fillings after treatment can make a bad situation worse. In our Rochester office, we offer tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth. This enables our staff to remove cavities efficiently but without the permanent metal fillings behind.
Contouring is an additional cosmetic service that is offered. Rather than gluing porcelain veneers to your teeth, North Pointe Dental and staff can form your teeth by smoothing out chips, bumps and any other tooth imperfections. Also called tooth reshaping, contouring is a procedure that will fix crooked, chipped, cracked or overlapping teeth in one session. This strategy, which can be used as a substitute for braces, provides refined updates to show off your best smile.
Dental implants may be the solution you are seeking if you have missing teeth. A natural looking implant will replace your missing tooth. Whether you are missing teeth, or they are worn, decayed or cracked, dental implants are a solid solution. If you replace a tooth with implants, you will start to notice an improvement in the health of your jaw and mouth also.
Celebrities usually have their killer smiles because they have received porcelain veneers. Veneers can be a solidified solution to cosmetic dental problems. This thin, durable shell seals to the top of a tooth to provide you with a smile that is beautiful and natural. Porcelain veneers are a great option if you want a perfectly straight, white smile that will turn heads in a jiffy.
Veneers are thin porcelain pieces bonded right to your front teeth. This permanent procedure creates a natural smile and can help with changing the shape and color of your teeth. Building your smile is an art. Using specialized light technology, we will glue ultra-thin porcelain or resin composite pieces to your teeth to develop a work of art.
Dentists everywhere use bridges to help fill in the gaps from missing teeth in patient's mouths, but few can execute the practice as efficiently as our office. We can mold tooth crowns (or caps) to be just like the size and color of your already existing teeth.
Like other procedures we offer, we will start a close examination and conversation about your reshaping needs before we beginning any contouring on your teeth. We want your mouth to retain optimal usability. We'll take a close look at your smile to see how your teeth operate together.
Incisors and canines are the most common teeth to undergo cosmetic contouring. Whether you have uneven, overlapping, or extremely flat or pointed teeth, our office staff can use a drill to create your pristine smile. Although contouring is a more speedy procedure than veneers or crowns, we may need to do x-rays. It takes about half an hour to contour each of your teeth.
For full-service family and cosmetic dentistry in Rochester, call North Pointe Dental today. We are dedicated to providing excellent service and care to all of our patients.

Storm Eleanor battered much of France on Wednesday morning leaving behind a trail of destruction as well as some impressive images.
Scaffolding is blown over in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, but thankfully no one was injured.
The winds also blew down part of the roof of a church in the town of Marchiennes, in the Nord department.
Alsace was also hard hit by the storm.
There was of course some huge waves crashing into the northern coast of France.
These shots were taken at Auderville in Normandy.
This was the scene in Granville, in the department of La Manche.
Here the Huffington Post has put together a video of some of the damage caused by Eleanor across France.


She might need more reassurance than most, not because she craves a security blanket, but because to give all of herself to someone again is the most terrifying thing she... Any woman would be quick to tell you that the first kiss can make or break your future together. This means that if the first kiss reveals a kissing compatibility issue be prepared not to see her again!
It took me years of therapy to get away from my idiotic mistake. It also took a lot of observation of other couples to realize how horribly dysfunctional the relationship I thought was perfect how to get to orgrimmar from legion dalaran Understanding this aspect of a womanizer can help a woman deal with being in a relationship with one. Psychologists think womanizers may be unable to feel guilt. I have the opinion that they are acting out severe pain in their own life.
How to screw with a Womanizer (before he screws you)!
17/08/2018�� If I�ve been flirting with a woman for a little while and then I ask them out and get turned down or if I can tell the woman is avoiding situations where I could ask them out I stop flirting.
If a woman feels that her husband is treating her badly (e.g. being mentally or physically abusive), or he is turning her off (e.g. by being insecure, taking her for granted, being controlling, not being a man of his word), and her feelings of respect and attraction for him fade away, she lives in a society that says it�s okay to leave.

In January 2000, a fifth person joined the four authors of Q and a new band of authors was born. Since then, they have authored more novels and essays. So far, their major collective effort has been 54, a novel set in 1954, with dozens of lead characters (including actor Cary Grant) which was translated in English and several European languages. The book was an inspirational source for the Italian folk-rock band Yo Yo Mundi whose concept album (also titled 54) was released at the beginning of 2004.
The band's name is meant both as a tribute to dissidents and a refusal of the role of the "Author" as a star.
Books written by the Wu Ming Foundation include Manituana, New Italian Epic, and Altai.
All the books below are recommended as readalikes for Wu Ming but some maybe more relevant to you than others depending on which books by the author you have read and enjoyed. So look for the suggested read-alikes by title linked on the right.

Will The Curtain Close On Small-Town Movie Theaters?
Just east of Interstate 29 in Dell Rapids, South Dakota lies the Dells Movie Theater, a beautiful art deco movie palace built in 1938. Eighty years after its debut, the theater remains one of the focal points of downtown Dell Rapids, a town of a little more than 3,700 just north of Sioux Falls. The theater has welcomed generations of Dell Rapids families to its single-screen cinema over the years and could lay claim to being America's quintessential small-town movie house.
Theaters like the Dells and other independent, small-town cinemas are facing increasing pressure in order to remain viable in this age of streaming and unrelenting assaults on its customer base . But like the threats posed by TV in the 1950s, VCRs in the 1980s, and an explosion of in-home options over the last ten years, movie theaters continue to adapt and innovate. The question is, will it be enough this time?

Spotlight on Old Bridge TV Addressing New Issues During the Pandemic
by Mary Granahan, Station Manager OBTV
Old Bridge Township has over 65,000 residents and our municipal access station, OBTV, is working to keep them informed and engaged through our programming and social media content. While our local channels OBTV15 (Optimum) and FIOS 22 are only available in Old Bridge, our content is
accessible to everyone on the township's YouTube channel. Over the years, OBTV's staff has expanded from a small group of volunteers to a full-time station manager, and through my efforts, a part-time media production tech and a successful internship program. I am eager to continue our growth through reinstating our JAG membership and becoming more involved with the organization.
OBTV studio
I was hired as station manager in January 2016, after almost 10 years of working in the industry on a freelance basis. My vision for the station was to improve the quality and overall look of the channel. Although we broadcast in SD, I upgraded our recordings to HD and created new motion graphics packages and intros for each series. I secured capital funding to build new, versatile studio sets and upgraded the lighting to LED. We now have three stand-alone sets with multiple options that enables us to change the look for each show.
As a municipal access station, we have a responsibility to keep the public informed. Part of that includes covering the township's three most important board meetings: Township Council, Township Planning Board and Township Zoning Board. While our buildings remain closed to the public, we've made adjustments by holding virtual and hybrid meetings with call-in sessions for public comment. All of our meetings air live on OBTV and YouTube. We also have a large social media presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram which is a great tool to instantly reach residents for emergency and non-emergency updates and information.
Other programs we produce include Old Bridge Outlook, You and Your Health, and our very popular Pet of the Month series where we feature an adoptable pet from the Old Bridge Animal Shelter. We've worked with the animal shelter and township council to eliminate adoption fees for featured pets as an extra incentive for adopting – especially senior and long-term shelter pets. This program has been so successful, that we often need to feature more than one animal because they're adopted so quickly!
While some of our regular programming has halted during the pandemic, we have created new, dynamic content to keep our residents informed and entertained. Old Bridge Update is a weekly PSA-style program where our Mayor delivers a brief address on COVID-19 and its impact on the community. Department Update is a 10-15 minute interview program that brings focus to the projects, programs and services offered to residents and the adjustments made during the pandemic.
For our younger residents, we've worked with our Parks & Recreation Department to record Story Time! and Virtual Recreation.
And, for our older residents, we've collaborated with Silver Linings at Old Bridge, our senior center here in Old Bridge, to produce Silver Strength: Mind & Body. This is a 35-45 minute wellness program featuring classes originally taught live at the center, now virtually. Each week will feature Chair Yoga, Gentle Strength Training or Move 2 the Groove – a more advanced exercise dance class. The feedback on the new programming has been very positive and we're planning to continue production on these programs post-pandemic. Looking ahead to the future, our goals are to continue to expand programming, to create a stable revenue stream, and to procure funding for projects to upgrade and sustain the growth of our station. This summer, the Old Bridge Township courtroom/council chamber will undergo a complete renovation from a new dais and public seating to improved lighting and an upgraded sound system. I'm working with a vendor to incorporate technology that will give the board president the option to control all microphones, presentations and lighting.
We are going to be installing telephone conferencing technology, which will make it easier for consultants and residents to participate in public meetings during the pandemic. Another current project is the upgrade to our broadcast and community bulletin board server. The new server will have enhanced bulletin board features and increase our audience reach through closed captioning and live streaming for non-cable customers who use Apple TV or similar devices. My plan is to create a steady revenue stream through local sponsorships of our community bulletin board. We have a thriving business community here in Old Bridge who has generously contributed to past township events. This anticipated revenue will not only offset current operation costs, it will help fund future upgrades, projects and equipment.
Old Bridge Television has undergone many upgrades over the past five years and I'm excited to continue the station's expansion and bring new programming to our residents.

Millions of Americans are "credit invisible." They do not have enough information in their credit reports to generate a score. But with a few straightforward steps, it's possible to create or reinstate a dormant or nonexistent credit history.
According to a report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), 1 in 10 adults, or 26 million, lack a credit history with a national consumer reporting bureau, such as Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Another 19 million are "unscored," meaning their credit records cannot produce a score based on widely used credit scoring models because they lack a sufficient amount of credit history or their records include too much "stale," or out-of-date, information.
Falling into one of these categories can have a profound effect on consumers' lives. Credit reports track an individual's credit history, with information about such factors as bank, car and student loans, mortgages and payment track record. Credit scorers, such as FICO, use that data to determine how reliable a risk a consumer is and sum it up in a three-digit score, ranging from 300 to 850. That number affects your ability to get a mortgage, credit card, car – sometimes even a job – as well as the interest rate you're charged on loans.
The problem is even worse for those groups that, according to the CFPB, are particularly more likely to be credit invisible or unscored. For example, about 15 percent of African-American and Hispanic consumers are credit invisibles, compared to 9 percent of whites, according to the CFPB. And close to 30 percent of consumers in low-income neighborhoods are credit invisible and 15 percent are unscored versus 4 percent invisible and 5 percent unscored in upper-income areas. Immigrants also are more likely to be credit challenged, Duguay says.
You don't need a credit score to apply for one of these babies, and they can help you establish a credit history. A secured card requires you to put down a refundable deposit of, say, $300 to $50, which serves as your credit line. Basically, you're borrowing against your own money, and if you default on payments, the lender will tap your deposit for repayment. But if you use the card wisely by charging small items and repaying the account in full by the due date, you will start building a positive credit history. In about six months, you can achieve a credit score in the 600s, Duguay says.
Don't assume that all secured cards report your account activity to the credit bureaus; call and ask before you apply. Also, even though the cards are secured, interest rates and fees may be high. Capital One's Secured Mastercard, for example, charges a variable rate of 24.99 percent. So it's best to shop around for the best offer and to always pay off the balance every month on time to avoid incurring interest or late payment fees.
And for the record, prepaid cards are a different product that typically don't report to the credit bureaus.
2. Get yourself added to an existing credit card account.
Another easy way to build a credit profile is to seek out a loved one or family member with a long-standing, positive credit history and ask to be added to his or her card as an authorized user, says Tracy Becker, president of North Shore Advisory. The older the person's card account, the better, she says, because the information dating back to when the credit card was opened will be reported on the authorized user's credit file. One exception, says Becker, is American Express, which only sends data to the credit bureaus from the date the authorized user was added to the account. It should take about three months for the information to make an impact on your credit history, Becker says.
The long-standing myth is to get credit you must have credit. But everybody has to start somewhere.
As an authorized user, a card will be issued in your name, but you don't have to use it to generate a credit history. In fact, it's best to just keep the card in a drawer and not use it in order to avoid any conflict with the primary cardholder, who is ultimately responsible for all charges on the card. After all, this person is doing you a huge favor just by lending you their credit history.
After several months, check your credit score (a good place to get a free FICO score is at Discover Scorecard). Once your credit score reaches a comfortable point, say 670 to 740, then it's time to apply for a card of your own. Once approved, only then should you ask to be removed as an authorized user as you'll need that borrowed credit history to qualify for the new card.
3. Join a credit union or community bank.
You could join a local credit union and try to take out a small signature loan or credit-builder loan. "They're more user-friendly than the big banks typically and you can talk to a real person," says Anderson. Because credit unions usually report to the credit reporting agencies, you can use that loan to build a credit history.
With credit-builder loans, the financial institution places your "loan" money in an interest-bearing savings account. As you make payments, that activity is reported to the credit bureaus. Once you have "repaid" the loan, it is only then that you get the money. This way, there is no risk to the financial institution.
Another alternative: passbook or certificate of deposit loans, in which your bank allows you to use your savings or CD account as collateral for a loan. In some cases, you can borrow 100 percent of the amount in your account; in others, you may only be allowed to "borrow" 85 to 90 percent of the amount you have saved. You pay an origination fee and interest, which is usually higher than what you earn on the account. During the loan period, you won't have access to the money in the account until the end of the loan, but you continue to earn interest on it.
4. Apply for short-term, high-interest cards or loans.
You may be able to get a loan for an automobile, particularly if it's a used car, and start establishing a credit history that way, says Mark Anderson, a partner with Anderson Ogilvy & Brewer, which represents consumers who have trouble with their credit reports. Odds are, however, that the loan interest rate may be prohibitive, but if you can pay off the loan in a short amount of time, it may be worth the expense.
Another possibility: You may be able to qualify for a gas credit card or a retail card, as those cards tend to come with smaller credit lines and higher APRs. To avoid paying interest charges, all you have to do is pay off the entire balance by the due date every month.
At the same time, watch out for predatory lenders. "Make sure you're dealing with an established lender with a good track record," says McClary. He advises checking the company with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which maintains a publicly accessible database of consumer complaints about financial service providers such as lenders and debt collection companies; the Better Business Bureau; and your state's attorney general's office, for complaints.
Of course, you can undermine all your best efforts if you don't make timely payments, even if the bills you're paying don't report to the credit bureaus, as debts that end up in collections end up being reported to the credit bureaus.
"Any damaging activity will have a damaging effect on your record," says McClary.
Ultimately, however, with several simple moves, conscientious bill payment and patience you should be able to build a solid credit history.


Movimento libero investigates the relationship between art and different abilities with a special focus on accessibility. An incentive to design a more accessible world, both from a physical and artistic viewpoint, where diversity drives creativity.
Campus UniBas Matera, room C003.
Dr. Jos Boys, Senior Lecturer at the Bartlett School of Architecture UCL, and Co-Director of The DisOrdinary Architecture Project, will talk about 'Doing Disability Differently': from being a problem to a creative force. Disabled people still tend to be seen as a problem in the design of the built environment; a restriction and an afterthought. But what happens if we realize that our ideas about disability and ability are completely interlinked? By thinking about disability differently, this talk suggests ways in which to build creatively, harnessing the diverse knowledge disabled people have regarding space.
The open talk, moderated by Rita Orlando, project manager of the Open Design School, will include the participation of Maria Rosaria Mongelli, Councilor for Urban Planning of the Municipality of Matera, who will address the theme of planning and recovery for the sustainable use of urban cultural centers and Antonello Pagliuca, Professor of Architectural Technology at DiCEM - UniBas, who will present inclusive designs to promote accessibility of existing heritage.
The event will be opened by Aurelia Sole, Dean of the University of Basilicata, Antonella Guida, Coordinator of the Architecture Course of DiCEM - UniBas and Rossella Tarantino, Development and Relations Area Manager at Matera Basilicata Foundation 2019.
Campus UniBas Matera, Aula Magna.
A comparison/debate between the artist Noemi Lakmaier, an Austrian based in London who is particularly interested in how we relate to ourselves and to others, and Monica Barone, an Italian visual and performative artist. What does it mean to be an artist with a disability today in Italy and the United Kingdom? How much could the cultural context and the institutional system influence artistic practice? How often are artistic projects confused with social projects when there are artists with disabilities involved?
Alongside the artists' voices, Anna Consolati and Elena Sorbi will present some Italian good practices with actions and programs carried out by Oriente Occidente Festival of Rovereto (TN) and Lenz Foundation of Parma.
The open talk, moderated by Vania Cauzillo, co-founder of Compagnia Teatrale L'Albero, will count with the participation of Alison Driver, Arts Manager of British Council in Italy, Maria Rosaria Mongelli, Councilor for Social Policies and Schools of the Municipality of Matera, and Mariavaleria Mininni Senior Lecturer of urban planning and landscape and responsible for the Diverse Ability at DICEM - UniBas, which will illustrate the challenge of the universities for the enhancement of young people in terms of social responsibility.

ARCLines 221A: Designing Community
In October 2005, a group of foundation-year students at Emily Carr University of Art and Design began to meet once a week with the idea of forming a collective. The students worked across design and visual art practices, and desired a wider, critical context within which to experiment. Their efforts resulted in NOART Artist Collective, a grouping of students mainly from outside of Vancouver, who began planning one-night, non-juried exhibitions called Pacts. These events took place in rooms reserved by the collective at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Pacts involved friends of NOART and other students, as a way to bring about a more public aspect into the students' developing art practices.
Between 2005 and 2007, NOART held twelve Pacts, featuring a diversity of projects by students who fit more or less into the categories of artists, designers, and critics. NOART was resistant to the disciplinary divisions inherent in the Emily Carr curriculum structure, and particularly wished to encourage fellow design students to show their work in Emily Carr student spaces, including the Concourse gallery. Among the collective's initial exhibitions over this first two-year period was an exhibition called The Colour Red held in 2007, which explored colour as an element that crossed all disciplines.
Late in 2007 there was a significant shift in the direction of NOART, when a storefront space was found to be available for rent in Chinatown. Around this time, members began to question the collective model, assessing it to be limiting in attracting newcomers to the group. Brian McBay, the initial organizer of NOART's activities led the group to found a production and exhibition space at 221A East Georgia. The gallery and studios became a critical factor in the development of the collective into a not-for-profit organization. The location gave the students a home base outside of the Emily Carr campus to put on their previously nomadic exhibition projects. A new name, 221A Artist-run Centre, was chosen in order to let the organization grow based on what the space allowed them to do. The name allowed them to modify their direction as much as they wanted, using the marker of place to establish their pared-down presence. The space gave them a directive to take on more ownership and responsibility for contributing something new and different to the cultural community. Incorporated in 2007, it was decided that 221A would focus on exploring cross-disciplinary ties in design and art, in dialogue with their surrounding community. Most immediately, this meant Chinatown.
Shortly after the space was opened, in the summer of 2008, 221A was approached by Keefer Bakery, a neighbour and longtime business in the Chinatown community, with a request to rent out 221A's newly renovated gallery as a storage site. 221A was and is a predominantly self-funded artist-run space, in need of rental income to operate, and in these early days, to help erase the debt incurred when renovating their new space. The members of 221A agreed to store Moon Cakes on site and close off the gallery for the summer months. What seemed like a potential setback for the organization (being shut over the summer and leading into their first year as potential participants in SWARM) became their first opportunity to expose a critical aspect of their place within the local community. The Moon Cake Show, which opened their first exhibition season, exhibited their gallery-warehouse and addressed the potential of forging a relationship in this place as a new member of an old neighbourhood. This marked the beginning of a dialogue in building a centre where space, objects, art practice and dialogue come into conversation with community.

From The Make-Up Chair: Building A Bond Villain
With Hair & Make-up Artist Daniel Phillips
From stunt doubles' wigs to Safin's prosthetics, Daniel Phillips is the man responsible for defining the look of each character in No Time To Die. It was the first Bond film for the Oscar and BAFTA nominated hair & make-up artist, and he shares his story with us here.
How did your career get started in the film business?
I knew I always wanted to work in film. I started off as a hairstylist through a family connection. Then I trained as a graphic artist and I started designing interiors for luxury yachts. I loved Hammer House of Horror films as a child and I remember writing to the studio enquring, 'How does one become a make-up person in film'? Eventually, I applied for a place at the London College of Fashion for a course on media, film, hair and make-up. My first job was at the BBC. They were looking to take men into the industry because then (the late '80s) it tended to be women in the make-up department in television. Men tended to do make-up in films. I was one of three guys in a department of 250 females at the BBC in London. I worked on lots of period dramas. I had the most wonderful time at the BBC and I stayed there for about eight years and then went freelance. I started working on very small, independent movies and worked my way up over the years. Even now, I love doing independent movies, because that's where I came from. When you get onto a big scale movie, you tend to just become a number – but I would say that's what's different with a Bond film, because it's a real family affair. Everybody was treated so well. It's probably the only big budget film that I've worked on where the Producers, Director, everybody just behaved in such a wonderful manner that you kind of fit.
How did you come about working on No Time To Die?
I've always watched the Bonds since I was a little kid and never imagined I would ever work on one. I worked with Cary eight years ago on Jane Eyre which was Cary's first English period film. But I still had to go through the whole interview stage and went to meet Michael, Barbara and Cary. I had a jolly nice catch up with Cary at Pinewood and I left saying, 'Well, lovely to see you. If it comes my way, I'll be thrilled obviously.' And I remember the day I got the call I was shooting a movie and it was the best feeling in the world. It doesn't get any better than a Bond movie.
How did you prepare for shooting?
My prep time was quite long – in total, it must have been about three months. But I used that time organising stunt doubles, organising wigs, organising fittings. I would create mood boards and looks for various actors. Often you wouldn't see your actors till a couple of weeks before, sometimes the week before, if you're very lucky. So I would be going to production meetings, coming up with concept drawings, concept sketches. You'd meet all the other departments, meet the production designers, costume designers, because everything's got to gel together. Also by then, we knew we had this character, Safin – Rami's character; so that took a lot of time to prep and decide which way we were going with that. I also started getting my team together. I hooked up with Barry Gower, Barry is a prosthetics guy and we worked together on Rami's look which took quite a long time to pin down because we were consulting with Rami who was off on another job in America. You've got to please the Director and the Producers and then you've got to come up with various concept sketches so it's quite a long process. Of all the characters in No Time To Die, Rami's character is the one that we had to really nail down and get right.
Where did Safin's look come from?
We knew that he needed to have a toxic poisoning skin condition so we researched lots of conditions and did a lot of mood boards and showed Cary. We did a mould of Rami's face and then spent weeks sculpting it and getting the skin textures right. Rami was filming Mr. Robot at the time and he had his hair shaved quite short so we had to wig him and we had to age him slightly. So I did that with the hair and all the skin marks and he had some wrinkles and some eye bags as well. And the wig has got the grey flecks through as well, which you can never achieve fully unless you put on a wig, because it just doesn't work. Funnily enough, when we were doing the make-up, it didn't really come alive until the whole look with the wig was put on and it all came together. That's when you see the full character, which goes to show that wigs are just as important as make-up in terms of creating that character. And I always tell my team, the more important thing for me, is the hair and the wigs because that can make and break a look. Even if you've got great make-up, if you've got a bad wig on, that's all you're going to notice.
How long did it take to put on Rami's prosthetics?
I've worked on prosthetics where they can take three or four hours, but this was pretty quick. I would prep the skin and hair and then Barry (and Patt Foad his assistant) would put the prosthetics on. And that would take about an hour and fifteen minutes to put the whole face on. Then Rami would come over to me, I would put the wig on and start blending the back of the wig into his own hair at the nape and fixing the hairline. And then as I'm doing that, they will be colouring up all the pieces. We kind of got it down to about an hour and a half in the end. That's quite quick, really for full face make-up, neck and hands as well. But we had to be quick just because we were told we had to be quick. The filming days are long so you can't have an actor coming in at silly o'clock in the morning, spending hours and hours in prosthetics, then a whole day's shooting. And you have to remember they've got to take the prosthetics off at the end of the day as well.
How do you go about deciding someone like Nomi's (Lashana Lynch) look?
So I probably did about four or five make-up tests on her, took pictures, sent them off to Cary. He called me back and said, 'Now with Lashana, I'm thinking Nubian princess'. So once we decided we were going to go that way then we made a wig and knotted it into her hair. But then my job is to work out the practicalities of that. You've got this woman at the beginning, this agent who's in this long braided, quite elaborate wig, but then later she's coming down cables and flying through buildings and doing somersaults, you think 'Well, that's not gonna work'. I remember going up to Barbara saying 'Barbara, we've got this wig on Lashana. And as great as it is, I just can't see how this would sort of work in the story realistically, without it looking comical. You know, scaling down a building'. Barbara said, 'Tell Cary that this is how you see it and what you think is right'. And Cary's great, you know, he went with it. The short hair works well, I think it's right for her. It's quite androgynous as well which I quite like, it's quite a powerful look. That's her own hair. We coiled it each day into little twists, little bumps and twists. Just to give it a shape and a style, basically.
Were you involved in designing Primo's eye?
Barry and I designed that. We did the concepts and sent them onto the studio to look at. And then a different company made the bionic eye. It's a Scleral Lens so it goes over the whole eye. There's also an eyeball that was made for the fight sequence where the eyeball falls down the steps. But from my part, it's a Scleral Lens which covers up the whole eye. And it's based on the camera of an iPhone.
What's your lasting memory of No Time To Die?
What made it the dream job is that you've got a production that are like a family that really looks after us. I'm travelling to the most incredible places and watching the incredible stunts of Range Rovers rolling somersaults. I remember standing in Scotland watching the car chase with helicopters flying overheard. And I'm standing there looking at all these cars flying about and I'm thinking to myself 'This is what filmmaking is about. This is why I got into this'. And there are very few moments like that on a film set.

Hyundai Set to Bring New Hydrogen Car to U.S. in Early 2014
Korean maker betting ultra-clean fuel cells can overcome limits of battery power.
by Paul A. Eisenstein | Oct 23, 2013
Hyundai is already selling the iX35 hydrogen car in Europe and prepping the little crossover for the American market.
Hyundai is betting heavily on the world's lightest gas – with U.S. sales of its new hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle set to begin in the U.S. early next year.
Sometimes described as "refillable batteries," fuel cells produce nothing but water vapor in their exhaust and are one of only a handful of ways to meet the stringent zero-emission vehicle, or ZEV, requirements set for California and other parts of the world. But hydrogen power has its own drawbacks, including the lack of a refueling infrastructure that experts warn could take years – and cost billions of dollars – to overcome.
"We are studying the market to see which will work better," Moon-Sik Kwan, president of Hyundai Motor Group's R&D Division, tells TheDetroitBureau.com, noting that while Hyundai is focusing on hydrogen, its South Korean partner Kia is preparing a battery-electric version of its little Soul crossover.
A cutaway of Hyundai's hydrogen technology at the maker's museum outside Seoul, Korea.
Hydrogen fuel cells have been around since the mid-1900s, though they were little more than a scientific curiosity until the Apollo space program, when they were tapped to provide power on the moon mission capsules. Fuel cells gained proponents within the auto industry during the 1990s, only to see the spotlight shift to battery power in the new millennium. But now, as the range and cost limits of lithium-ion technology becomes increasingly apparent, fuel cells have again gained a following.
Toyota has promised to put a fuel cell vehicle into limited production by 2015, Honda following up soon after with a replacement for its earlier FC-X Clarity model. General Motors and others could begin production of their own hydrogen cars later in the decade.
(GM partners with the US Army on fuel cell research. Click Here to learn more about the program.)
Hyundai, however, plans to beat them all to market. It is already providing a limited test fleet to government buyers in Denmark and other parts of Europe. And the Korean carmaker will expand the program when the first of its fuel-cell models reached U.S. showrooms in early 2014, notes Dr. Kwan.
Even so, volumes will be relatively modest compared to the traditional Hyundai product line, with total worldwide sales likely to reach perhaps 1,000 over the next three years, the Korean carmaker's research chief cautions.
(Honda GM form their own hydrogen alliance. Click Here for details.)
Several factors will limit demand, including price. The hydrogen model is currently being sold in Europe for about $150,000. By the time it reaches the U.S., the goal is to trim that to somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000, according to Dr. Kwan, though the final figure has yet to be set.
That price tag reflects not only the low volume of production but the complex nature of hydrogen-based technology, a fuel cell "stack," among other things, requiring the use of significant amounts of rare metals like platinum. These materials act as catalysts, helping combine lightweight hydrogen with oxygen from the air which, in turn, produces a flow of current that can drive the same motors used in an electric vehicle – which is why proponents refer to the technology as a refillable battery.
(Toyota to deliver over 300 mile range with its planned fuel cell vehicle. Click Here for the story.)
Refillable, yes, but there are currently few locations where hydrogen is available, something that Hyundai's research boss acknowledges is the most severe challenge to expanding the use of hydrogen power. Asked if Hyundai might set up hydrogen fueling stations, much as Tesla Motors is setting up a "Supercharger" battery charging network across the U.S., Dr. Kwan says, "No."
"The investment is huge," he stresses, asserting that "One or two car companies could not it by themselves. Only governments could do this."
Indeed, several European governments have committed to doing so, notably Germany which has plans to set up a nationwide network of alternative power stations where motorists could both charge up their battery cars and access hydrogen fueling pumps.
California has also approved funding for a hydrogen program that will soon establish around a dozen pumps in the Greater Los Angeles area and perhaps 100 or more stations across the state in the years to follow.
Hyundai and other backers are betting that by offering hydrogen vehicles, even in limited numbers, they will break the classic chicken-and-egg syndrome. If early buyers warm to the technology, they contend, the energy industry will then make the necessary investments to expand availability of hydrogen on a nationwide level, encouraging the auto industry to offer even more fuel cell vehicles.

Obviously the price of these vehicles will have to come WAY down before they are even close to "mainstream" but Hyundai deserves credit for their courage in putting the ball in play on this promising technology. Given the drawbacks of internal combustion engines and the "cost" of global warming governments should develop hydrogen "fuel stations" as a way to encourage more manufacturers to climb on board the Hydrogen train.

Marketers will spend $1.2bn by 2019 to reach kids on their tablets
By Lisa Lacy-08 September 2017 14:00pm
Marketers are spending more to market to children outside of TV.
As children watch less TV, professional services network PwC said it expects the digital advertising market for kids to grow to $1.2bn by 2019 – at which point it will represent 28% of all advertising to children.
That's according to PwC's 2017 Kids' Digital Advertising Report, which was commissioned by kids' digital media company SuperAwesome.
The report notes this is a nascent but rapidly evolving market that was historically driven almost exclusively by TV spend. In fact, just five years ago, kids were still mostly watching TV. The advent of tablets and free content, however, means this has quickly changed, said SuperAwesome chief executive Dylan Collins.
"Today kids are spending time on apps, games, online video, [streaming video on demand]," Collins said. "Virtually any free content producer (e.g., most game developers) survives by including ads in their games."
In fact, Collins said SuperAwesome was founded to build technology to deliver kid-safe ads in this context. And, by kid-safe, Collins said he means ads that are delivered by regulatory-compliant technology that ensures no data is collected on the child and the ad has been reviewed for age-appropriate content, based on the standards in each country.
"So this is why the kids' digital ad market is growing by 25%+ per year and kids' TV is declining," Collins added. "Kids are consuming an ever-increasing amount of digital content through all of their devices."
Growth is also expected in programmatic advertising to kids: PwC estimates 10 to 20% of kids' digital ad spend will be on compliant programmatic advertising by 2019.
Collins said brands looking to reach children have two choices: They can work with content owners like Disney and Nickelodeon directly or work with a platform that gives them wider reach. In fact, this burgeoning kidtech space includes specialist platforms and technology that combine privacy with large-scale reach. This, in turn, helps marketers grapple with increasing data privacy requirements for kids' activities online like COPPA in the US and GDPR in Europe. And, for its part, PwC said it expects some advertisers and brands to move away from publisher-centric relationships and adopt these purpose-built media platforms for scale and efficiency.
Collins noted part of the challenge is that up until now, Silicon Valley hadn't really considered kids as part of the Internet.
"Every time you sign up to a service, you're generally ticking a box to say you're over 13," he said. "Now, as they realize that kids have become the fastest-growing audience, they're rapidly trying to figure out how to create compliant (i.e., zero-data) digital experiences. In general, this involves creating new technology. It's this which has led to the creation of the nascent kidtech market sector…which is now growing incredibly quickly."
In a press release, PwC media strategy partner Mark Maitland added, "The kids' media market is going through the same transition which the mainstream space has been experiencing in recent years."

People who have been to the north shore of Dishui Lake a year or two ago will definitely not believe that a financial city comparable to Lujiazui and the Bund will rise on this empty meadow. But now that the old place is revisited, there are tower cranes on the shore, and hundreds of workers are involved in the construction of the "jiugongge" office building. Financial institutions and enterprises such as the five major banks of the Industrial and Agricultural China Construction Diplomacy have signed building purchase agreements. More than 500 licensed financial institutions, new financial institutions, investment enterprises and financial functional institutions will settle in the future.

However, there are still people who are curious. Shanghai already has several mature and high-level financial clusters. Why should another financial bay be built?
The reason can be seen from the latest financial "14th Five-Year Plan" released in the Lingang Special Area. The plan proposes that the Dishui Lake Financial Bay will complement and develop in coordination with the Lujiazui Financial City and the Bund Financial Cluster to build a new pattern of "one city, one belt and one bay". For Lingang, the implementation of deep-differentiated financial policy exploration, further promotion of financial opening up and the internationalization of the RMB, and continuous strengthening of the function of global financial resource allocation are all within the meaning of the question.
At the 13th Lujiazui Forum that opened recently, Pan Gongsheng, Vice Governor of the People's Bank of China and Director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, revealed that soon, pilots of high-level foreign exchange management will be launched in the Lingang Special Area to promote high-level foreign exchange management.
Related policies have been introduced one after another. Whether it is the "Implementation Opinions on Further Promoting the High-quality Development of the Service Industry in the Lingang New Area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone," which focuses on top-level design, or the "Comprehensive Promotion of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone's Temporary Development", which implements specific supporting policies or the "Several Measures for Financial Opening and Innovative Development of Lingang Special Area" all directly refer to the fields of cross-border capital and offshore business, and have promoted a batch of breakthrough innovations.
In August last year, Shanghai Lingang Economic Development (Group) Co., Ltd. successfully introduced US$100 million in overseas financing through two cooperative banks, namely, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Shanghai Xinpian Branch and Ping An Bank, Shanghai Free Trade Zone. With "hedging" to lock in the exchange rate, Lingang Group was able to significantly reduce the comprehensive financing costs. Multinational companies have also seen the prospect of setting up a capital management center in the special area.
When GALAXYCORE INC., the overseas parent company of Geke Microelectronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., planned to list on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, the Pre-IPO round of financing involved an employee equity incentive plan. According to past practices, more than 300 employees participating in the equity incentive plan must register with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange for purchasing foreign exchange. Due to the large number of people, it would be extremely time-consuming and troublesome to handle. In order to allow Geke Microelectronics to go public and complete the financing earlier, relevant personnel from the Financial and Trade Office of the Management Committee of the Special Area and China Merchants Bank had accompanied the company to visit the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) many times. After many rounds of discussions, the innovative financial method of using Geke's domestic equity company to purchase foreign exchange on behalf of employees and then exit the country quickly and efficiently solved the problem of all employees registering to purchase foreign exchange.
At present, the Lingang Special Area has facilitated cross-border RMB settlement and recommended 312 high-quality companies to be included in the whitelist, registered a one-time foreign debt quota of approximately RMB 928 million, and 6 companies have piloted the integration of domestic and foreign currencies in a cross-border capital pool. Zhongyang Shengan Investment Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of USD 17.5 billion was registered and established. 109 financial projects such as the Bank of Communications Financial Technology and the China State-owned Enterprise Mixed Ownership Reform Fund and 17 trade projects such as Hanling (Shanghai) Trade were launched. 15 banks have set up branches in the zone, with the total capital scale of registered and signed funds exceeding 261.4 billion yuan.
However, innovation and breakthroughs are always accompanied by risks. In the case of Geke Microelectronics, innovative methods have made the funding path clearer and more traceable, which not only solves problems for the enterprise, also popularized a blueprint for other similar enterprises. It is necessary to actively explore fintech regulatory innovations and explore the application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and blockchain in the financial field to create a pilot port for fintech innovation with international influence.
The use of fintech for risk prevention and supervision is also an innovative breakthrough. Behind this is a more forward-looking and inclusive compound thinking. The application of this kind of thinking to various fields other than finance is the first driving force for the Lingang Special Area to experiment and venture boldly, to reform independently, and become the first of its kind in the world.
A Global Gathering to Focus on Lingang Innovation – The online conference on Lingang Innovation was successfully held
