Cinema plural
A conference without a theme
Opening conference of the Critics' Week
Theaterdiscounter Berlin
Berlin, 19 February 2020
Organized with the support of Goethe-Institut e.V.
What are the hopes of today's filmmakers, critics and cinephiles? What do they resent, what do they demand? In 2020, the Critics' Week is refusing to choose a theme for the opening conference. Instead, we're inviting friends old and new to voice their concerns, to engage in discussion and find allies. Be it against the right wing and censorship, or in favour of a global cinephilia – what we're after is differentiation, solidarity and passionate debate. We want to place side by side that which is usually kept apart. Not least, this means reflecting on what it means to perceive a problem as belonging to "others". Against the background of a Berlinale that, under new leadership, has to figure itself out anew, we explore the film culture dynamics that surround us.
Panel discussion: On Cinema and the Right Wing
Discussion of the results of the workshop "Film work against the right" together with the participants
In the here and now, how do extreme right-wing party politics intervene in cinema culture? How can influence be rendered visible? Which actors play a role in this? Which aesthetic practices and work methods engender forms of resistance?
Panel discussion: "For a New Cinephilia"
Film critic Girish Shambu (www.girishshambu.net / Film Quarterly) in conversation with film critic Jessica Kiang (Variety / Sight & Sound)
The American film critic and blogger Girish Shambu recently wrote a manifesto for the magazine "Film Quarterly". The focus is on the notion of a contemporary, left-wing cinephilia. Shambu calls for the recognition of critically educated movements within film culture and rejects a purely aesthetically-oriented, male auteur-centred, apolitical love of film: "You shall know the old cinephilia by the sounds of its worrying: film culture these days is 'too PC,' too 'morality driven,' and 'all about identity politics.' Supposedly (…) the community of cinema lovers is no longer unified the way it once (allegedly) was. For the new cinephilia, however, this unity of film culture is a figment of nostalgic fantasy, a fiction propagated and sustained by the imposition of a false universalism."
ca. 20:00
Three parallel events
Workshop discussion on censorship & film criticism in Turkey
Moderated by Senem Aytaç (Altyazi film collective), with clips from films
Members of the film collective Altyazi from Turkey ask themselves what the deal is with cinema and politics in their country. The group self-publishes a bimonthly magazine of film criticism and organises cinema screenings and events, intending to bolster the self-confidence of the independent Turkish film scene. Besides spreading knowledge, the group is especially concerned with facilitating encounters – because a free film culture is the joint responsibility of the audience, readers and producers. A workshop discussion with Senem Aytaç and members of the group will focus on film criticism's existing and potential role within this context, positing criticism as a method of raising awareness and a collective objection against (self-)censorship. How do social tensions in Turkey influence cinema and criticism?
Workshop: "Everyone Talks About Film Education" (German)
Moderated by Rüdiger Suchsland and Stefan Butzmühlen
Organized by the German Film Critics Association and the Hauptverband Cinephilie
A workshop exploring what film education can look like, what is the potential for this field, what is necessary, what works, and what needs to change.
Round table discussion: Post Cinema, Mobile Cinema, Arthouse Cinema
With Oliver Bassemir (filmmaker, "[Bordeaux], ma bile"), Evi Stamou & Marianna Kaplatzi (film collective Balkan Can Kino), Aleksandra Milovanović (University of Arts, Belgrade), Branka Pavlović (filmmaker, video artist, Free Zone Belgrade Human Rights Film Festival)
One space is dedicated to borderless cinema: filmmaker and video artist Evi Stamou and film curator Marianna Kaplatzi, representing the collective "Balkan Can Kino" from Athens, report on the possibilities offered by the operation of a self-organised cinema. Aleksandra Milovanović (University of Arts, Belgrade) and Branka Pavlović (filmmaker, video artist) use scientific tools to investigate how the "Free Zone Belgrade Human Rights Film Festival" has, through centralised and decentralised forms of film festival operation, managed to develop and shape an activist position over the course of 15 years. The video artist Oliver Bassemir brings his "Cinephilic Germ Cell" from Hamburg: under this name, he appears in regular film programmes to question the meaning of "political architecture" with regards to the cinema hall.
Round table discussion: "The World Next Door – A Conversation About Non-Academic Storytelling" (German)
The filmmaker Franz Müller ("Worst Case Scenario") in conversation with Annekatrin Hendel (filmmaker, "Traitor to his country", "Fassbinder") and Jan Overhausen (Comedian und Author)
Moderated by Hannah Pilarczyk (Der Spiegel)
The film director Franz Müller, one of the editors of the magazine "Revolver", wrote a blog post shortly after the last Berlinale about German cinema's insulation from realities of experience other than those of the filmmakers themselves: "I have experienced a tendency towards seclusion and self-centredness, which I want to talk about. Especially with regards to social class, in recent years there have been more and more films concerned with themselves and turned away from others, and I think this is simply terrible because it depicts what already bothers me about a world in which more and more areas of experience are being steered (more or less gently) by the capitalist software, which unfortunately runs very smoothly on our human hardware." The discussion quickly ebbed away – we take it as a starting point for a reconsideration of filmic practice in Germany.
Live chat performance: "Intruders at the Window"
With Anuj Malhotra and Suraj Prasad (Lightcube Film Society)
An onstage simulation/performance of an online chat conference that will include participants from a set of different geographical locations from across the world – critics who deal with patterns of exclusion from mainstream and global film discourse – who will be invited to collectively imagine, in the real-time, for a live audience, a new era in cinephilia that is inclusive, devoid of centres and genuinely plural.
Workshop: "Capitalist Realism, Societies of Control and Cyberpunk"
With participants of the research seminar "Cyberpunk – Identities and Space in the Sphere of Postmodernism and Capitalist Realism" (Humboldt University of Berlin), with clips from films
In the midst of a fractured, decentralized network of evolving technological and infrastructural systems, our informational consumption and creation habits are prone to constant relocation and mutation. By looking at storyworlds in contemporary fiction, it becomes possible to clear the fog around these ever-changing discourses and to shed a light on our present, our future imaginaries and our relation to history. Connecting selected theoretical and cinematic entities, we especially aim to identify the ideological rhythms and tremors of capitalist realism and the mechanisms of social control as reflected in Cyberpunk and its derivates. We are interested in creating an open and de-institutionalized space for criticism in which participants are free to contribute to and come away with tools for analysis and clarity. Interconnectedness is allowed and encouraged as a way to work against conscious and unconscious selectiveness in regards to being open to a variety of ideas.
ca. 22.15
Joint closing of the event at the bar
Tickets for the conference are available through the website of the Theaterdiscounter Berlin.

Seyfert es un  prominente cráter de impacto perteneciente a la cara oculta de la Luna. Se encuentra detrás del terminador oriental de la Luna, al este del cráter Espin. Justo al norte de Seyfert se halla el cráter Harriot e igualmente cerca hacia el sur se localiza Polzunov.

El borde exterior de este cráter es ligeramente alargado hacia el norte, con su sector noreste recubierto por el cráter satélite Seyfert A. Este cráter de impacto superpuesto tiene una cresta central en su suelo interior. También existe una cresta baja cerca del punto medio de Seyfert, pero es menos prominente. La pared interior es más ancha en el borde norte, al oeste de Seyfert A.

Varios pequeños cráteres se extienden en el borde y el interior de Seyfert, incluyendo un grupo combinado de pequeños cráteres en la pared interior del este, un pequeño cráter que invade el borde suroriental y un par de pequeños cráteres en el borde sur de Seyfert A. El suelo interior es relativamente nivelado, y está marcado por numerosos pequeños cráteres. Las huellas del sistema de marcas radiales de Giordano Bruno, situado al noroeste, atraviesa el borde y el suelo interior de Seyfert.

Cráteres satélite

Por convención estos elementos son identificados en los mapas lunares poniendo la letra en el lado del punto medio del cráter que está más cercano a Seyfert.

Gerry McCann is in the US for a four-day fact-finding visit with the family's campaigner Justine McGuinness.
He will meet a senior member of first lady Laura Bush's staff as well as senators and congressmen in Washington DC.
Mr McCann has already met US attorney general Alberto Gonzales to discuss efforts to tackle child abduction.
The meetings are part of a visit to the US to learn about the work of specialist agencies in preventing child trafficking and sexual abuse.
Mr McCann and his wife Kate, from Rothley, Leicestershire, have mounted a vigorous campaign to find four-year-old Madeleine since she disappeared from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3.
He has also met experts from the National and International Centres for Missing and Exploited Children in the US.
Mr McCann said: "Obviously my focus just now is on trying to get our daughter back. That's the key thing.
"But I think there is a lot of goodwill out there at the minute, that we might be able to leave something tangible for all children, and I think most people agree that these sorts of crimes should not happen and the perpetrators have to be pursued wherever these crimes are performed.
Mrs McCann remains in Portugal with the couple's two-year-old twins, Sean and Amelie.
Meanwhile, posters of Madeleine are being displayed at booksellers in more than 200 countries around the world thanks to Harry Potter author JK Rowling, whose final instalment of the boy wizard's adventures was published on Saturday.


The Laravel queue service provides a unified API across a variety of different queue back-ends. Queues allow you to defer the processing of a time consuming task, such as sending an e-mail, until a later time which drastically speeds up web requests to your application.
The queue configuration file is stored in config/queue.php. In this file you will find connection configurations for each of the queue drivers that are included with the framework, which includes a database, Beanstalkd, IronMQ, Amazon SQS, Redis, and synchronous (for local use) driver.
A null queue driver is also included which simply discards queued jobs.
This command will generate a new class in the app/Jobs directory, and the class will implement the Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue interface, indicating to Laravel that the job should be pushed onto the queue instead of run synchronously.
In this example, note that we were able to pass an Eloquent model directly into the queued job's constructor. Because of the SerializesModels trait that the job is using, Eloquent models will be gracefully serialized and unserialized when the job is processing. If your queued job accepts an Eloquent model in its constructor, only the identifier for the model will be serialized onto the queue. When the job is actually handled, the queue system will automatically re-retrieve the full model instance from the database. It's all totally transparent to your application and prevents issues that can arise from serializing full Eloquent model instances.
The handle method is called when the job is processed by the queue. Note that we are able to type-hint dependencies on the handle method of the job. The Laravel service container automatically injects these dependencies.
If an exception is thrown while the job is being processed, it will automatically be released back onto the queue so it may be attempted again. The job will continue to be released until it has been attempted the maximum number of times allowed by your application. The number of maximum attempts is defined by the --tries switch used on the queue:listen or queue:work Artisan jobs. More information on running the queue listener can be found below.
* Send a reminder e-mail to a given user.
You may also specify the queue a job should be sent to.
In this example, we're specifying that the job should be delayed in the queue for 60 seconds before being made available to workers.
Note: The Amazon SQS service has a maximum delay time of 15 minutes.
* Process the given order.
This method will examine the constructor of the given job class and extract variables from the HTTP request (or any other ArrayAccess object) to fill the needed constructor parameters of the job. So, if our job class accepts a productId variable in its constructor, the job bus will attempt to pull the productId parameter from the HTTP request.
Note that once this task has started, it will continue to run until it is manually stopped. You may use a process monitor such as Supervisor to ensure that the queue listener does not stop running.
In this example, jobs on the high queue will always be processed before moving onto jobs from the low queue.
Note that the queue only "sleeps" if no jobs are on the queue. If more jobs are available, the queue will continue to work them without sleeping.
In this example, the numprocs directive will instruct Supervisor to run 8 queue:work processes and monitor all of them, automatically restarting them if they fail. Of course, you should change the queue:work sqs portion of the command directive to reflect your chosen queue connection.
For more information on configuring and using Supervisor, consult the Supervisor documentation. Alternatively, you may use Laravel Forge to automatically configure and manage your Supervisor configuration from a convenient web interface.
As you can see, the queue:work job supports most of the same options available to queue:listen. You may use the php artisan help queue:work job to view all of the available options.
Daemon queue workers do not restart the framework before processing each job. Therefore, you should be careful to free any heavy resources before your job finishes. For example, if you are doing image manipulation with the GD library, you should free the memory with imagedestroy when you are done.
Similarly, your database connection may disconnect when being used by a long-running daemon. You may use the DB::reconnect method to ensure you have a fresh connection.
This command will gracefully instruct all queue workers to restart after they finish processing their current job so that no existing jobs are lost.
Note: This command relies on the cache system to schedule the restart. By default, APCu does not work for CLI jobs. If you are using APCu, add apc.enable_cli=1 to your APCu configuration.
Since things don't always go as planned, sometimes your queued jobs will fail. Don't worry, it happens to the best of us! Laravel includes a convenient way to specify the maximum number of times a job should be attempted. After a job has exceeded this amount of attempts, it will be inserted into a failed_jobs table. The name of the table can be configured via the config/queue.php configuration file.
* Handle a job failure.


I am intuitive by nature. It's time to shift away, break the rules once again. Reimagine. Reinvent. Discover more villages. Create new experiences.
I'm heading to destinations such as The French Alps, East Timor, Taiwan, Fiji, Sri Lanka, Bali and less travelled parts of Indonesia.
Here's my checklist for everything I want it to be for us…..
A little indulgent. Pack the dress (or a nice shirt for the guys). I like a wine at the end of the day sometimes.
And just like Sharing Bali, I have only one wish for you….. that you go home a little more in love with life.
Head over to Sharing Bali & Beyond now. Join me for some new adventures!

WhistlePig Rye Whiskey recently announced the release of The Boss Hog V: The Spirit of Mauve, the fifth edition of their limited edition unique whiskies. The Boss Hog is only produced when the brand feels they can create something superior to anything they have previously made. This marque fulfills the five promises WhistlePig makes to each edition of The Boss Hog: single barrel, bottled at barrel proof, powerfully complex, distinctly unique from anything they have done before, and stupendous.
The Spirit of Mauve is a celebration of one of the brand's founding celebrity pigs. Mauve's lover, Mortimer, was tragically killed defending her honor in 2014, and was memorialized in The Boss Hog, second edition, The Spirit of Mortimer. Mauve persevered for the sake of their son, Mortimer Jr., but she sadly passed away this Valentine's Day, presumably of a broken heart. The Spirit of Mauve is a 13 Year Straight Rye Whiskey finished in Calvados Casks in honor of Mauve's undying love of apples. Each bottle features a handcrafted Danforth pewter stopper in the shape of Mauve ascending to heaven and a casket-inspired gift box.
"The Spirit of Mauve is my favorite Boss Hog release so far. It is full flavored yet subtle, with lots of warm spice and apple notes. It's like drinking Grandma's apple pie." explains Dave Pickerell, Master Distiller for WhistlePig.
The former editions of the line include The Boss Hog IV: The Black Prince (2017), The Boss Hog III: The Independent (2015), Boss Hog II: The Spirit of Mortimer (2014) and The Boss Hog (2013). This newest edition is bottled at barrel proof at a suggested retail price is $499.99.
Nose: Fine spiced rye nose which leads into more subtle apple notes. Mouth-watering, engaging and very much like a fresh-baked cinnamon apple pie.
Taste: The Calvados hits right off the bat with bright high, fruity notes. But, this is quickly followed by a powerful rye flavor which has an intensity that dissipates anything else going on. A quite dry and heavy (at 119 proof) whiskey that retains its true character, but is lightly patinaed by the addition of the Calvados finish.
Finish: Interestingly, the apple again comes through after the intensity of the rye cools down, making for an autumnal-like finish.
Overall: Let's be honest. All WhistlePig whiskies are killer. This one is no exception. You should get a bottle for investment purposes if nothing else. But, if you have a truly special occasion, this is an excellent whiskey to crack open and savor.

Jennifer Lopez's Engagement Rings From Alex Rodriguez, Ben Affleck, Marc Anthony and More: Photos
By Jessica Vacco-Bolanos

The look of love — in the form of Jennifer Lopez's five engagement rings through the years.
The singer, 51, has had her fair share of incredible diamonds. On March 12, 2021, rumors surfaced that she and Alex Rodriguez had ended their relationship, calling off their engagement after two years. Us Weekly confirmed the following day that they are still together and are "working through some things." The pair got engaged in March 2019, when he proposed with an estimated $1.4 million, 15-carat emerald-cut diamond ring.
While Alastair Smith, founder of Ringspo.com, told Us Weekly that Lopez's sparkler from the former New York Yankee, 45, is the "largest" she's received, he also noted that it's "unlikely to be the most expensive."
In 1997, the "Jenny From the Block" songstress accepted a proposal from Ojani Noa, who popped the question with a $100,000 marquis-cut diamond. Though their marriage only lasted one year, Lopez would once again say "yes" when her next suitor, former backup dancer Cris Judd, asked for her hand in marriage in 2001.
The choreographer gifted the Boy Next Door actress with an emerald-cut diamond engagement ring. Though the cut is the same as Lopez's bling from Rodriguez, the cost was much less, coming in at an estimated $100,000.
As for the ring Ben Affleck presented to Lopez in 2002? The Gone Girl actor proposed with a $2.5 million, 6.1-carat pink diamond Harry Winston ring, which, according to Smith, was more expensive due to the rare colored stone.
Lopez's engagement ring from Marc Anthony — with whom she shares 11-year-old twins Max and Emme — also boasted a colored diamond. The "You Sang to Me" crooner got down on one knee with an estimated $4 million, 8.5-carat blue cushion-cut diamond.
"Emerald-cut diamonds are one of the most elegant shapes, and behave a little differently from most other diamonds," Smith tells Us of the ring Rodriguez chose for Lopez. "Instead of a sparkle, emerald-cut diamonds reflect light off the surface of the stone in big, brilliant flashes. These are extremely dramatic, and a diamond of J.Lo's size will catch eyes across any room."

Ojani Noa
Noa and Lopez wed in February 1997, but their marriage only lasted 11 months before the former pair called it quits. More recently, a court-appointed arbitrator issued a permanent injunction in August 2007 that prevents the director from "criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging" the Selena star in any way.
Cris Judd
The former couple met on set of Lopez's "Love Don't Cost a Thing" music video, where Judd was a dancer. Judd and Lopez tied the knot in September 2001, but split by June 2002.
The Batman star and Lopez met while working together on the 2003 film Gigli. Though Affleck proposed with a gorgeous ring, the two never followed through with their wedding plans, calling off plans four days ahead of their nuptials. They split for good in January 2004.
Anthony and Lopez quickly wed in June 2004 after only six months of dating. They broke up in June 2014, but have an amicable relationship as they coparent their twins.

Lopez and Rodriguez announced their engagement in March 2019 after a little over two years of dating. "She said yes," the athlete captioned a picture that showed the giant ring he proposed with. "A-Rod went with a very classic emerald-cut diamond which accentuates Jennifer's fingers with its elongated shape," Brandon Hill of Steve Quick Jeweler in Chicago told Us. "The diamond looks to be around 15 carats and is colorless with the highest clarity. It's set in a simple but elegant solitaire mounting which will look beautiful with a wedding band next to it in the future."

The "Dance Again" musician confirmed in an April 2022 edition of her "On The J.Lo" newsletter that the twosome had gotten engaged again. "You're perfect," Lopez gushed about her beau in a video clip as the camera panned to her new bling. The 8.5-carat bauble featured a natural green diamond — a nod to her lucky color —that was surrounded by two smaller diamonds on each side.

The system for the maintenance of FIF attributed tax accounts parallels that for FIF attribution accounts. That is, when income which has been previously attributed is distributed to you, the foreign tax credit you can claim is initially worked out on the basis that no foreign tax credit was allowed for foreign tax paid on the attributed income at the time it was attributed. The foreign tax credit worked out in this way is then reduced by the foreign tax credit allowed at the time the attributable income of the FIF - that is, FIF income - was included in your assessable income.
The FIF attributed tax accounts trace the foreign tax credit that was allowed at the attribution stage so that this reduction may be made.

Mike Arthur and Drew McNeice combined on a four-hitter, and Paul Treggiari's RBI double highlighted a four-run seventh inning as visiting Franklin rallied to defeat Milford 6-1 in a showdown for first place in CMass Senior Babe Ruth South action at Fino Field.
Mike Arthur started and worked five-plus innings, striking out six and allowing one run on three hits. McNeice pitched two innings of one-hit scoreless relief for the win. With Franklin leading 2-1, Milford loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the sixth but McNiece fanned three straight batters to get out of the jam.
Luke Girolamo went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run, and Andy McCarty also went 2-for-3 with a double and a run for Franklin, which swept both games with the Micros this summer.
Both Franklin and Milford have overall records of 14-5 and play their regular-season finales tonight. If both teams win, Franklin would capture the division in a tiebreaker because the Panthers have a better division record. Franklin is 10-1 in the division while Milford is 8-3.
Franklin hosts Medway tonight (5:45) while Milford plays at Holliston.
Milford opened the scoring in the bottom of the first when Jim Hayes came home on a Barry Fitzgibbons single. Fitzgibbons was 2-for-4 overall and also pitched a strong game, starting and allowing only two runs, both unearned, in six innings.
Franklin, which had six hits overall, tied it in the fifth when Josh Fiske scored on Girolamo's single and moved in front, 2-1, with another run in the sixth.
Ashland 4, Hopkinton 2
Derek Santasky fanned 10 and didn't walk a batter in four innings of scoreless relief as Ashland remained in the playoff hunt with a CMSBR South victory over visiting Hopkinton.
Kevin Boardman hit a two-run single with the bases loaded in the fourth inning and Alec Kirchberger hit an RBI single with the bases loaded in the fifth for Ashland (7-11), which is battling Holliston for the last playoff spot in the division. Holliston was still 6-11 after last night's game with Bellingham was postponed to Saturday.
Ashland plays at Bellingham tonight (8 p.m.) in its regular-season finale.
Hopkinton (5-13) travels to Dover-Sherborn today (5:45 p.m.).
Marlborough 4, Natick 3
Ryan MacQuarrie went 2-for-4 with an RBI to pace a 10-hit attack as Marlborough edged host Natick in a CMSBR North matchup at Mahan Field.
Winning pitcher Collin Connor, Matt Magazine and Brian Vital combined on a five-hitter, and Kyle Lind and Jeff MacQuarrie each had an RBI for Marlborough, which improves to 12-6. Natick drops to 11-7 on the summer.
In regular-season finales for both playoff-bound teams tonight, Marlborough plays at Medfield (5:45 p.m.) while Natick travels to Sudbury (7).

Gregor crouched in the darkness and wiped the soot from his hands. No fire had been as satisfying as this one. The house was built like a fortress with grates covering the windows. He blocked the doors to prevent the captain of the guard and his family from escaping. He hoped the pompous duke watched in horror from his commanding view at Bell Rock Manor. The spate of fires across the city were no coincidence. Vengeance spread in memory of Gregor's dear sister, Sadie, who was burned at the stake for witchcraft.
As industrial innovations accelerated over a few short years, the king and his men saw fit to reform religion. When the decree came, the king unveiled new statues in the capital's cathedral. Gone were the horned god of the hunt, the sorceress, and the rugged blacksmith. The aspects of the natural world they represented were replaced with austerity. The faces of the gods appeared stern. The new rituals were equally cold; no ecstatic songs were welcome any longer in the redesigned and stark chambers for the congregation. The gods now favored an unyielding aristocracy that wanted to keep the rest of society under tight control. The Old Ways, as they were now called, were not tolerated.
The duke's men enforced the decree and swept the city for practitioners of witchcraft, making examples of the women and men who chanted over candles and collected seashells and feathers for their shrines. Sadie shunned the decree and continued to read tarot cards for worried wives and young women who yearned for something more than long shifts in the factories that churned out textiles at a rapid pace.
Bell Rock Manor loomed on the steep hill above the city of Raynport. Gas lights around the perimeter of the property replaced the torches of a newly bygone era. He removed a scrap of smudged paper from a pocket and dug out a shard of blackened bone. He reviewed his list. The members of the jury—done. The bailiff who twisted Sadie's arms until her shoulders dislocated when they hauled her out to the stake—done. The captain of the guard was still screaming, but would be done soon enough. That just left one more.
Gregor glared at the mansion and spat on the ground, wiping his chin with the cuff of his jacket. "I'll come for you soon enough." He scuttled deeper into the shadows to enjoy his handiwork.
Gregor sneered in the darkness. So what? You know how the fire started. Soon I'll write your name on the list using my blacked spur of bone.
An idea flashed. He ducked out of his hiding place in the bushes and dashed down an alleyway. Debris shielded him from detection. When he emerged by the Rusty Cleaver, he crouched again to watch a homeless carny performer entertain a small crowd in front of the tavern. A jar of magefire sat on a crate behind him. An innocuous substance that made it appear as though things were really burning, the magefire caught Gregor's eye.
As the carny performer dazzled the small crowd by juggling flasks coated in magefire, Gregor swooped in and swiped the jar on the crate. He resisted the urge to douse himself in the substance and set it alight. The jar fit easily in his coat pocket. He turned the corner to the pyramid of empty barrels behind the tavern. He pulled one from the stack and rolled it to the area where deliveries were prepared. He spotted the reserved barrels for the duke. Prying off the lid, he crawled inside.
He had nothing but time.
Hours later, he was jostled awake as the barrels were loaded onto a cart. He relished each bump in the road—the cart lurched along on its journey, filling him with glee in anticipation of reaching his destination.
The kitchen staff at the manor rolled the barrels into the cellar. From his muffled perspective, he listened to them complain about the duke and his insufferable family. When silence descended, he crawled out of the barrel and looked around.
"Almost too easy." Gregor jumped at the sound of his own voice. He clasped a hand over his mouth.
And now…to get to work.
He filled his pack with bottles of kerosene he found on the cellar's shelves. He hoarded matches in his pocket. Before he left the cellar, he opened the tap on a barrel of mead and set the leaking alcohol alight. He whispered a prayer to the god of the forge and snuck into the passageway that allowed servants to pass unseen throughout the manor.
As the first explosion in the cellar rocked the manor in its foundation, Gregor grew reckless. He dashed into rooms and set pools of kerosene on fire without checking whether anyone was watching. With the fire alarming the manor's residents, panic drove them in search of escape—and in search of the cause. Word of an arsonist on the loose had reached the manor faster than he'd realized.
Gregor set a lace tablecloth on fire in the second floor tea room and ran back into the passageway. Footsteps charged in his direction. The booted footsteps of armored guards. Spotting him, they hollered and gave chase. He ran back into the tea room. Frantic, he charged through the tall window onto the balcony overlooking the back of the manor. The view staggered him.
The back of the manse faced a cliff. Waves crashed on the rocks as the ocean carried in a storm. Lightning cracked the evening's violet sky.
A table laden with porcelain shattered when the guards tore through the room to get to the balcony. His heart pounding, Gregor raced over the side and climbed down a trellis covered with wisteria in full bloom.
Amid shouting, guards circled around each side of Bell Rock Manor. Gregor ran to the cliffside. Dropping the bag of kerosene, he pulled the bottle of magefire out of his coat pocket and doused himself with it. The guards pulled back.
He clenched the shard of charred bone he'd taken from the heap of Sadie's remains in one hand, and held the locket in the other. Kissing the locket, Gregor uttered a prayer of homage to his sister. He looked out to sea, where the asylum that once held him stood on a lonely and rocky island stood a short distance away. She had helped him escape. She sheltered him until they took her away from him.
With the flick of his hand, the magefire came to life and consumed him. The guards reared in horror, not realizing the harmless effects. The dive awaiting him, on the other hand, was another matter.
Delighting in being enveloped in magefire, Gregor screamed. Clutching the bone shard and the locket, he leapt from the cliff and into the ocean.
The guards stood over, watching the fire be quenched by the waves. No body lay smashed on the rocks.
The storm raged above Raynport well into the night. No one saw the figure creep out of the water and into a seaside cave along the bay. No one heard him shout in triumph. He shook his fist at the shadowy asylum on the water, the locket still clutched in his hand.


Four months ago, CNN launched "The Update" – a daily Snapchat news show. The company still hasn't found a way to monetise it, so the show is getting axed.
Just a week or so after Bloomberg launched the world's first social media news network, CNN has realised that "there wasn't a clear enough path to make money" with its Discovery-based Snapchat show – The Update. As such, the show will be axed immediately. The Wall Street Journal reported that while the premise is great, there doesn't seem to be a big enough audience of "news-hungry Snapchat users" to support the show.
Is there a big enough audience of news-hungry people on Snapchat to warrant shows like CNN's The Update?
When The Update was launched, Snapchat's senior director of content programming had said that "it's more critical than ever that Snapchatters have access to the best journalism in the world, right when news breaks." But is anyone on Snapchat looking for news? Well, perhaps not news per se… Other shows by publishers like NBC or ESPN are doing quite well.
In fact, according to reports, NBC's Stay Tuned has over 30 million monthly views!
Canceling The Update doesn't spell goodbye for CNN on Snapchat. The company says its relationship with Snapchat "will very much be continuing." and there are other opportunities on the horizon for that.
As CNN cancels The Update Snapchat show, other shows by NBC or ESPN are doing quite well on the platform!

MDHHS launches project to probe firefighter PFAS exposure
Lansing — Michigan is launching a new project dedicated to investigating firefighter exposure to PFAS chemicals as part of an effort to establish safety protocols, the state said.
The "PFAS in Firefighters of Michigan Surveillance" program has started recruiting career and volunteer firefighters who work for airport fire stations as well as randomly selected fire department across the state, according to a release from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services
"The findings will help inform activities to minimize firefighters' exposure to PFAS," Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, chief medical executive and chief deputy for health at MDHHS, said in a statement. "Emerging science continues to reveal the effects that PFAS can have on human health, and the firefighters who participate in the PFOMS project will contribute to our understanding of PFAS exposure among firefighters."
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, more commonly known as PFAS, is a chemical found in Class B firefighting foams used to fight fires involving gasoline, oil, and jet fuel.
Exposure to this chemical can result in thyroid hormone disruption and have effects on the immune system, according to the EPA. Known as "forever" chemicals, PFAS can even lead to cancer.
Seven departments are participating in the first year of the participating in the first year of the PFOMS project, including:
ACW Unionville Fire Department (Tuscola County)
Alcona Township Fire Department (Alcona County)
Cambridge Township Fire Department (Lenawee County)
Capital City Airport Department of Public Safety (Ingham County)
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport Fire Department (Wayne County)
Dorr Township Fire Department (Allegan County)
Rochester Hills Fire Department (Oakland County)
The project is expected to last three years, and organizers hope to recruit between 600 and 900 firefighters. The research began with the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport Fire Department on April 28.
PFAS exposure has become an urgent issue around the country. Last month, President Joe Biden allocated $75 million to address contamination by PFAS in his budget proposal.
PFAS exposure is often greatest at Air Force bases. In Oscoda, Michigan, the Wurtsmith Air Force Base has come under fire from Michigan congressional leaders after failing to clean up PFAS contamination.
The incoming leadership at the Air Force needs to "understand the urgency of the issue. They have to be more aggressive," said Democratic U.S. Sen. Gary Peters.
At the same time, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has launched a counterclaim against PFAS manufacturer 3M Corp. to recover clean up costs, damages to the environment and natural resource damages caused by PFAS contamination.
3M recently filed a lawsuit against the Michigan Department of Environment and its drinking water standards adopted last year, calling them "the result of a rushed and invalid regulatory process, scientifically flawed, and reliant on speculative and unquantified purported benefits to justify the costly" rules.
New water standards were put into effect last August under Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, which established clear standards for public water supplies, sampling requirements and public notification requirements.

Trying to pick pretty good drinking water could possibly be as simple as turning on your own kitchen faucet. Should you really want that, a reverse osmosis system in Harlan KY can provide that for you. Good drinking water is just that good! It not only tastes far better than municipality administered water, it's also better for you. The benefits of having reverse osmosis drinking water goes on and on. Keep reading if you're trying to find an at home reverse osmosis system in Harlan KY.
Reverse osmosis is nothing new. A reverse osmosis system, additionally called Ultra-Filtration by the industry, represents cutting edge in water treatment technology. Reverse Osmosis (RO) was established in the late 1950's under U.S. Federal government financing, as a technique of desalinating sea water, in other words it was a means to filter salt out of salt water. Today, reverse osmosis has earned it's name as one of the most hassle-free and complete method to filter water. It is made use of by most water bottling plants, as well as by many sectors that call for ultra-refined water in manufacturing. Currently this sophisticated technology is readily available to residences and workplaces for drinking water filtering. Reverse osmosis water is the very best top quality water you can have.
It is a reliable mechanical water treatment process for lowering 95 % to 99 % of the dissolved mineral salts, organics as well as particles by forcing the water, under pressure, with a semi-permeable membrane layer. TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is the regular use for reverse osmosis in addition to pre-treatment for Deionization.
Reverse osmosis systems use pressure to push water through small pores, to produce "distilled water." In the procedure, chemicals, microorganisms, and also minerals are filtered through different membrane layers and also carbon filters.
The process removes several pollutants from water, including dissolved solids, lead, nitrate, sodium and sulfate. Based on consumer information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a reverse osmosis water filter gets rid of disease-causing microorganisms and the majority of chemical impurities. According to North Dakota State University, it can be utilized combined with various other filtering stages, such as activated carbon, to lower the degree of chemicals, dioxins and volatile organic compounds.
A reverse osmosis water system will certainly treat various water quality problems. The system aids with water impurities, cloudy water, bad tastes or odors, in addition to minimize the expenses connected with purchasing bottled water.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a tested modern technology with new applications for different sectors. US Water Services' reps take pride in themselves on having considerable expertise of RO water system unit installation, operations, addressing and also cleaning procedures.
The system creates energy, gets rid of waste-water and reuses fluids. This system is made use of in domestic and business filtration. The process desalinates water and transforms salt water into drinking water. As an example, the pressure pushes water molecules through the membrane, yet the salt particles are too big to fit through the filtration, and this leads to drinkable water on the other side.
Reverse Osmosis drinking water treatment usually have pre-filters, which you could want to replace prior to flushing the RO System. Nevertheless the actual Reverse Osmosis membrane component should not need replacement. If the producer of the membrane suggests that you change this component of the system you ought to ask them to give you the specific reasons why.
It does create a bunch of waste water. 1 gallon of filtered water to 5 gallons of waste water is not good in any way. But if you run your waste water to a storage tank and utilize it to water the lawn and garden and utilize it to clean your vehicle and the house it doesn't have to all go straight to the drainpipe. Some people also might drink the waste water as it actually has been through many phases of filtering and is better then tap water. Nonetheless the mineral content will certainly be greater then faucet water. Minerals aren't all bad. Your body could use a few of the minerals in the waste water. Yet understand that the waste water is not advised for drinking as it can cause some gastrointestinal problems.
A reverse osmosis unit will certainly require replacement of its membrane. Furthermore, it might have pre- and post-filters in the system to remove sediments and other undesirable impurities. These filters will certainly need to be changed depending just how much water moves through the device.
A great reverse osmosis water filter system assures that you have accessibility to clean, clear and fantastic tasting drinking water at all times. But just what makes a great reverse osmosis water filter system and what does the very best reverse osmosis system have in common? It basically boils down to water purity level, excellent taste and fast availability.
Install a whole house reverse osmosis system to purify your faucet water into healthy water. An excellent home water filtration system will certainly get rid of heavy metals like lead and mercury as well as herbicides, pesticides and commercial solvents (yikes) that make their way right into your drinking supply of water. This is the most expensive thing to do, but is so worth it. I was a little uncertain when I installed ours and was cynical that it was considerably far better than our Brita filter (it is). We installed it ourselves, it was very simple to install and a year later, I have no idea just how I have actually lived without one for as long!
Clearly, the systems differ. Get in touch with the manufacturer to see just what filters it has and what is gotten rid of during the procedure. Also check how much water is removed as "waste" for each and every gallon that is generated for you to drink.
A system with less phases like three or 4 stages is less reliable and steady. It needs constant filter changes (every 4 to 5 months), giving you more problems. A good-quality 5-stage reverse system has filters that last around 9 to 12 months. It additionally supplies better-quality and also better-tasting water. A 5-stage system conserves you time and money ultimately. Choose a system that has 3 pre-filters, two carbon blocks and also a sediment filter.
Choose a system that is constructed from excellent quality parts, particularly certified made in the U.S. Search for good craftsmanship, such as clean neat line connections and the system fits perfectly on a sturdy structure. Superb high quality materials and craftsmanship are the secrets of a reliable and resilient reverse osmosis water drinking system. Keep in mind pick a 5-stage reverse osmosis system.
The process results in 2 streams – permeate and concentrate. For safe and clean water manufacturing, permeate is the water that is utilized for drinking, and the concentrate is gotten rid of. Reverse osmosis treatment systems come in a range of sizes from the 25 million-gallon-per-day center in Gibsonton, Fla., to small house units that could produce 12 to 15 gallons per day.
