This week's Ketchup brings you more headlines from the world of film development news, covering such titles as Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Kung Fu Panda 4, a live-action Pac-Man, and David Leitch's The Fall Guy.
This WEEK'S TOP STORY
TOM CRUISE'S FUTURE INCLUDES A MUSICAL AND LES GROSSMAN

Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick (Certified Ferrsh at 96%) has now soared over $1.3 billion globally, even as the star has recently filmed Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (7/14/2023), and is now filming that franchise's eighth film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two (6/28/2024). Both of the latter films are being directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who is also working with Cruise on three more projects, all of which McQuarrie is also writing. Tom Cruise will likely be dancing in two of them, as one is a "song and dance" musical with Cruise as the lead, and another is a Les Grossman solo spin-off project. Cruise originated his sleazy studio executive Les Grossman character in 2008's Tropic Thunder (Certified Fresh at 82%), in which he also showed off his fat suit dance moves. The third upcoming collaboration between McQuarrie and Cruise is described as an action movie with the potential for branching into its own franchise. Also looming in Cruise's future is the untitled project he will actually film in outer space, in collaboration with NASA and Elon Musk's SpaceX. None of these four films have release dates, but they're all likely for 2025 or later.
Other Top Headlines
1. DC COMICS UPDATES: BLACK CANARY, BLUE BEETLE STILL A GO
(Photo by DC)
In the aftermath of Warner Bros. Discovery shelving the already filmed $90 million Batgirl movie, many fans have been left wondering about the the fates of several other DC Comics adaptations. The answer is that it's "confusing" and varies from film to film. In one category, there are the filmed projects like Black Adam, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (not so fast, The Flash), which are all still scheduled to open in theaters. The only new DC Comics picture recently greenlit is Joker: Folie a Deux (10/4/2024) starring Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, and the recently announced Zazie Beetz from the first film. Development of many DC Comics projects like Zatanna, Static Shock, and Ta-Nehisi Coates' Superman reboot have slowed down. Two projects that are still expected to progress are the Latino-focused Blue Beetle (8/18/2023) and a solo spin-off for Jurnee Smollett's Black Canary character from Birds of Prey (Certified Fresh at 79%). There may also be other unannounced film projects as part of the larger 10-year plan for DC Comics movies (such as the sequel to The Batman).
2. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 RACING YOUR WAY IN 2024

The SEGA video game character Sonic the Hedgehog (Fresh at 63%) has come a long way since his digital design in the first trailer was so mocked by fans that he was totally redesigned (to be closer to the video games). That was followed by Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Fresh at 69%), which was one of the first box office hits of 2022. Paramount Pictures is apparently sticking to a two year plan, as Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now scheduled to arrive in theaters as soon as December 20. 2024. It's unclear which actors will return for the third movie (especially since Jim Carrey has talked about retiring from acting).
3. PAC-MAN TO GOBBLE HIS WAY INTO LIVE ACTION

The success of movies like Pokémon: Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog continues to inspire a new wave of video game adaptations. The latest project announced is a live-action adaptation of the hugely popular 1980s Namco arcade hit, Pac-Man. It's unclear what exactly a live action Pac-Man movie would look like, whether it be a human actor running through a maze or more of a CGI hybrid (which is probably more likely).
4. EMILY BLUNT HAS JOINED RYAN GOSLING IN DAVID LEITCH'S THE FALL GUY

When movie fans in 2022 think of Ryan Gosling in a "fun retro adaptation," they probably think of that image of Gosling as Ken in next year's Barbie (7/21/2023). There is, however, another such project people might not be aware of yet, which is The Fall Guy, based on the 1980s stuntman TV show starring Lee Majors. The female lead in the TV show was Heather Thomas, and we now know who's taking her place, because Emily Blunt has joined the project. The Fall Guy will be directed by David Leitch, whose previous films include Atomic Blonde (Certified Fresh at 79%), Deadpool 2 (Certified Fresh at 84%), and this week's Bullet Train (Rotten at 54%).
5. STEPHEN KING NOVEL THE REGULATORS TO BE ADAPTED FOR THE BIG SCREEN
(Photo by Scott Eisen/Getty Images)
As an author, Stephen King's prolific bibliography is almost matched by the number of movies and TV shows that have been adapted from his works. The latest Stephen King novel to start film development is his 1996 book The Regulators. In the novel, life in a quiet suburban neighborhood is disrupted when four vans full of shotgun-wielding "regulators" show up and start shooting people. It's far too early in development for there to be any casting news for The Regulators.
6. MICHELLE YEOH AMONG STAR-STUDDED ENSEMBLE CAST IN NETFLIX'S THE ELECTRIC STATE

Earlier this year, it was announced that the Russo Brothers (Avengers: Endgame, The Gray Man) are going to direct Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Evans in a futuristic sci-fi film for Netflix called The Electric State. That project has gone from having two fan favorites to having a legitimate star-studded ensemble as its cast now includes Michelle Yeoh, Jason Alexander, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, and Stanley Tucci. Millie Bobby Brown will star as an orphaned teenager who sets off an adventure in the American West along with a robot and a mysterious drifter.
7. TREY PARKER AND MATT STONE REVEAL THE SECRET PLANS BEHIND SASSY JUSTICE
(Photo by https://www.youtube.com/c/SassyJustice)
In late 2020, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, released a series of spoof videos called Sassy Justice which used "deepfake" technology on celebrities like Donald Trump, Michael Caine, and Mark Zuckerberg. At the time, these shorts just seemed like a side project demonstrating the dangers of deepfake technology, but they revealed this week that the videos sprang from something else. As it turns out, Sassy Justice was actually part of a feature film Stone and Parker were producing in early 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic slowed everything down. The project relied on "timely" humor (most likely the 2020 presidential election), which is why the film was scrapped.
8. KUNG FU PANDA 4 OFFICIALLY SCHEDULED FOR 2024
(Photo by ©DreamWorks Animation)
Dropping late in the afternoon on Friday was the news that Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation have set a 2024 release date for a fourth installment in the Kung Fu Panda animated film franchise, which has also spawned three TV series and a number of short films. Jack Black stars in the series as the voice of Po, a bumbling panda who becomes an unlikely martial arts master and unites with a team of skilled warriors to battle evil. Though previous installments have included the voices of stars like Dustin Hoffman, Lucy Liu, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, and David Cross, all we know about Kung Fu Panda 4 so far is its release date, so its cast (minus Black, who will likely return to reprise his role as Po), crew, and story are still a mystery.

A new, unagented and unpublished writer with a brilliant idea that belongs on the bookshelf of the future.
You are someone who feels that the publishing industry doesn't adequately represent people from your background or with your experiences – and you want to change that. You might be from a BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) or LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer) community, from a socio-economically marginalised background, or have a disability.
It doesn't matter if your book isn't quite finished yet, or if you think it needs a bit of editing before it's ready; we're looking for someone who is committed to being a writer and who is ready to work hard to develop their idea.
If this sounds like you then we'd love to read your book.
We are Hodder & Stoughton, Headline, John Murray Press, Quercus, Orion and Little, Brown, part of one of the UK's largest publishers. Together we publish a wide range of fiction and non-fiction, from edge-of-your-seat crime thrillers to smart women's fiction, and from books by YouTube stars to autobiographies from the world's best-known sportspeople. We are proud to be the publishers of Stephen King, Martina Cole, Jodi Picoult, The Sidemen, Stieg Larsson, Trevor Noah, David Mitchell, Andrea Levy, Katie Piper, Mo Farah, Graham Norton, and many more.
We are always on the lookout for brilliant new talent – for writers and books that surprise us, inspire us, make us laugh, make us cry or tell us something that we didn't know about the world.
Specifically, we are looking for novels and non-fiction projects from new voices.
A novel is a work of fiction that is 50,000 words or longer. It can be in any genre.
A non-fiction project is a work of non-fiction that is 50,000 words or longer. It can be on any subject.
So whether you're writing science fiction or serious non-fiction, if you think you're the next Martina Cole, or if have written a story to rival Stephen King, we want to read it.

If you are successful we will publish your book with all the commitment and flair that we bring to each and every book we publish, with the aim of reaching the widest possible market.
What will happen to my work after I submit it?
After submitting your work, it will be read and reviewed by an editorial team across the Hodder, Headline, John Murray, Quercus, Orion and Little, Brown. A team of readers will consider each work and decide which books we would like to take forward.
When will I find out if my book has been selected or not?
You will receive an automated email to let you know we have received your submission. We will then, in due course, email everyone with our final decision on their work.
Why are you asking for 'unagented' submissions?
The purpose of The Future Bookshelf is to find new, talented writers outside of the established routes to publication. We want to find the writers who wouldn't ordinarily reach our inbox, so we have specified 'unagented' submissions.
What will happen to my book if it is selected?
If your book is selected, that means we love it and want to publish it!
You will be contacted by an editor who loves your book, who works for one of our imprints – Hodder, Headline, John Murray, Quercus, Orion and Little, Brown.

Your book will receive the same treatment as all our other authors – you will work closely with your editor, your publicist and the wider team including sales, marketing and production. You will be consulted at each stage including edits and the cover design. We will distribute and sell your book using all of our channels, in the UK and internationally, and you will have a dedicated publicity and marketing campaign.


Why Do I Love Being a Photographer?
Every photographer is different. We have unique goals, reasons we love photography, and ways we approach our craft. The truth is, being a photographer is one of the most rewarding jobs you can have. This is all about why I love being a photographer! It really is the best job in the world.
When did I realize I had a passion for photography?
• My mom made photography a priority growing up.
She showed me how valuable photography is. My mom took a camera with her everywhere we went and captured so many memories of my family's life. There are so many photos documenting my childhood, and I love every one of them. When I was a teenager life got really busy and my mom had less time to take pictures. I wanted to continue to document my adventures.
• After getting my first camera for Christmas, I was hooked.
I became the friend that was known for always having a camera bag over her shoulder. Every exciting thing I was doing, I was determined to remember by taking the pictures. As I got older, my love for photography grew as I used creativity to express my personality through my photos. The friends around me at school saw my passion. They became my first models as I practiced.
• I love the special bond photography helps me create with people.
Seeing that I could also help others' personality shine through in photographs was inspiring. I loved to see how everyone photographed differently. Each person was truly beautiful in their own way. I knew I was passionate about photography.
What about my job brings me joy?
Photographers are artists! Art is about expressing creativity, showing beauty, and capturing emotion. This is exactly what I strive to do as a photographer! People are the most beautiful subjects. But more than that, they are the most worth while subjects. There is some sort of magic in being able to capture a moment in time that can be revisited as often as you'd like.
• Providing people with visual memories that last forever.
It makes me so happy knowing that the images I provide my clients will be cherished by so many people. Memory can be fleeting, but photographs help moments live on. Whether it's a mother's maternity session or a couple's engagement, photographing them makes them unforgettable! It's such a great feeling knowing that while I'm in a session, I'm capturing an important memory or subject for someone they otherwise wouldn't have.
• Editing and sending the photographs to my client.
The creative job of a photographer is only halfway done after we've taken the pictures. Editing is my opportunity to bring out the natural beauty in a photograph. I really enjoy post-processing and letting my style come through in my edits. I get butterflies sending my clients their images. This is the best part of my job. Knowing I've completed the project and picturing the excitement of my clients when they receive their photos.
What's hard about being a photographer?
Yes! This is the same point I just made under "what about my job brings me joy." But while post-processing is something I look forward to after every session, it's hard work! I'm always studying and practicing the craft of editing. I want my clients to have images that really shine, and anything worth having takes some good hard work. It takes a lot of time and patience, which is hard to have when you're excited about showing the client their pictures!
A lesson I had to learn early, is that in getting caught up in perfection, you can miss what's genuine and real. This is something I'm continually growing in as a photographer. Some of my favorite pictures are those that are candid, not posed, and imperfect. I always want to send my clients the "perfect" pictures. Reminding myself that perfection is not the goal, but real and beautiful is, always gives me images that are better than I could have hoped for.
• Hoping the client is more than just satisfied.
Because people are so unique, every clients needs and wants are unique. It is important to me that I never put my subjects into a "client box" and take the time to get to know them as people. I don't want my clients to just be satisfied. They should be blown away and in love with their photos! I really care about the people I photograph. That's why feedback is so appreciated. My goal is to provide my clients with an experience and a service that leaves them filled with happiness.

Honduras: The Restoration of Order, 1925-31
Country Study > Chapter 1 > Historical Setting > Banana Boats and Gunboats: the rise of United States Influence, 1899-1932 > The Restoration of Order, 1925-31
THE RESTORATION OF ORDER, 1925-31
Despite another minor uprising led by General Ferrera in 1925, Paz Barahona's administration was, by Honduran standards, rather tranquil. The banana companies continued to expand, the government's budgetary situation improved, and there was even an increase in labor organizing. On the international front, the Honduran government, after years of negotiations, finally concluded an agreement with the British bondholders to liquidate most of the immense national debt. The bonds were to be redeemed at 20 percent of face value over a thirty-year period. Back interest was forgiven, and new interest accrued only over the last fifteen years of this arrangement. Under the terms of this agreement, Honduras, at last, seemed on the road to fiscal solvency.
Fears of disturbances increased again in 1928 as the scheduled presidential elections approached. The ruling PNH nominated General Carías while the PLH, united again following the death of Policarpo Bonilla in 1926, nominated Vicente Mejía Colindres. To the surprise of most observers, both the campaign and the election were conducted with a minimum of violence and intimidation. Mejía Colindres won a decisive victory -- obtaining 62,000 votes to 47,000 for Carías. Even more surprising was Carías's public acceptance of defeat and his urging of his supporters to accept the new government.
Mejía Colindres took office in 1929 with high hopes for his administration and his nation. Honduras seemed on the road to political and economic progress. Banana exports, then accounting for 80 percent of all exports, continued to expand. By 1930 Honduras had become the world's leading producer of the fruit, accounting for one-third of the world's supply of bananas. United Fruit had come increasingly to dominate the trade, and in 1929 it bought out the Cuyamel Fruit Company, one of its two principal remaining rivals. Because conflicts between these companies had frequently led to support for rival groups in Honduran politics, had produced a border controversy with Guatemala, and may have even contributed to revolutionary disturbances, this merger seemed to promise greater domestic tranquility. The prospect for tranquility was further advanced in 1931 when Ferrera was killed while leading one last unsuccessful effort to overthrow the government.
Many of Mejía Colindres's hopes, however, were dashed with the onset of the Great Depression. Banana exports peaked in 1930, then declined rapidly. Thousands of workers were laid off, and the wages of those remaining on the job were reduced, as were the prices paid to independent banana producers by the giant fruit companies. Strikes and other labor disturbances began to break out in response to these conditions, but most were quickly suppressed with the aid of government troops. As the depression deepened, the government's financial situation deteriorated; in 1931 Mejía Colindres was forced to borrow US$250,000 from the fruit companies to ensure that the army would continue to be paid.

The New Evangelicals
Marcia Pally
Though public support for both major political parties is very low, one group of voters is usually exempted from this malaise: evangelicals. It's assumed that at least these "values voters" are getting what they want. But we should look more carefully.
A sizable portion of evangelicals have left the right, so to speak, in what the theologian Scot McKnight called "the biggest change in the evangelical movement, " nothing less than the emergence of "a new kind of Christian social conscience." These new evangelicals focus on economic justice, environmental protection and immigration reform — not exactly Republican strong points. The religious right remains a potent political force, but where once there was the appearance of an evangelical movement that sang out in one voice, there is now a robust polyphony.
In numbers, that means Christians who don't think of themselves as part of the religious right come to roughly 24 percent of the population, according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. Subtract the Catholic left and you've got some 19 percent of the population distributed among the '60s evangelical left; younger, emergent progressive churches; and red-letter Christians, who focus on Jesus' words in scripture (printed in red) and who lean towards progressive activism. Others have quietly broadened the activism associated with the religious right.
These "new evangelicals" are quick to say (correctly) that all this is not new but consistent with tradition. Evangelical emphasis on individual moral responsibility made them, from the colonial era to World War I, politically anti-authoritarian and economically populist — anti-banker and anti-landlord. Before the Civil War, they created many of the associations that helped build the country and, in the North, were crucially important to the abolitionist movement. After the war, they fought for labor against robber-baron capitalism and supported William Jennings Bryan three times for president on a pro-worker, pro-farmer platform. Even the Fundamentals pamphlets, circulated between 1910 and 1915 as a conservative call to evangelicals, included a section on the benefits of socialism.
In the 20th century, evangelicals became associated with the right, especially after World War II. So why another shift in the 21st? One reason is generational, with idealistic youth rejecting the politics of their parents. Another is that views about sex, the environment and global connectedness have shifted nationwide, including among evangelicals. In their self-critique, "Unchristian, " evangelicals David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons title their chapters: Hypocritical, Sheltered, Too Political, Judgmental and Anti-homosexual. Ouch.
In a group that takes ethics seriously, still another reason for the change is new thinking about what matters most. The cavalier militarism and the justification of torture during the Bush years, along with the strident in-group-ism of the last four decades, prodded many evangelicals to re-examine themselves and their actions. George W. Bush may have fractured the Christian coalition that elected him.
Richard Cizik, president of the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good, describes the movement as a "slow earthquake." A developing grassroots movement won't have one overarching policy position, but the new evangelical concerns collect in a few areas. One is an embrace of church-state separation. "Let it be known unequivocally, " declared the 2008 Evangelical Manifesto, signed by over 70 evangelical leaders, "we are firmly opposed to the imposition of theocracy on our pluralistic society."
Another is participation in civil society through public education, lobbying and coalition-building. New evangelicals have been working through their churches on substance abuse, care for the homeless and the elderly, prison ministries, and affordable housing, and they have been developing projects overseas on environmental protection, disease reduction and education.
These programs, which have some overlap with those run by the religious right, are staffed largely by volunteers, who raise much of the money to fund them as well. But forget bake sales. These are sophisticated operations, expertly run NGOs really, based on nuanced policies and listening to others. The point here is not only alms-giving but the restructuring of opportunity through education, health care and job training.
A third concern is critique of government. Since all governments are human and therefore corruptible, new evangelicals understand the vigilance needed to keep politics honest. This is the church's "prophetic role" — not to become the government but to "speak truth to power." Recently, the National Association of Evangelicals called on its members — over 40, 000 churches — to protest Republican cuts in programs for the needy. "Approximately one percent of the federal budget is devoted to helping the poorest people around the world, " one call for advocacy in the organization's legislative action center began.
"In 2011, our international assistance budget was cut by 11 percent. For 2012, the House of Representatives has recommended a further 30 percent reduction. While saving money and reducing the federal deficit is very important, this is the wrong place to cut. We did not get into the fiscal mess we are in by spending too much on the world's poor."
Evangelical concern about Republican policies has been evident for some time. In 2006, over a quarter of white evangelicals (27 percent) voted Democratic in the midterm elections — and nearly 40 percent of evangelicals who attend church less than once a week. In 2008, there were evangelical PACs working for Obama, and once again over a quarter of white evangelicals voted Democratic (34 percent of less frequent church-attenders). Obama earned nearly a third of the votes of white evangelicals under 30 years old, regardless of church attendance.
This growing political independence poses a conundrum. On the one hand, opposition to abortion along with their traditional preference for self-reliance has made evangelicals a Republican bloc. But if the new evangelicals are less suspicious of Mormonism, they might be less put off than the religious right if Romney heads the Republican ticket. At the same time, their support for economic justice and environmental protection strains their allegiance to the Republican party.
When Rudolph Giuliani was still a contender for the Republican nomination in 2008, Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, pointed out that if abortion were taken "off the table, other issues would get oxygen, issues where evangelicals are not nearly as certain that Republicans offer the best answer."
In the meanwhile, our 19 percent — that's a lot of votes — don't have a candidate they love: someone who will help the poor, protect the planet, and dramatically reduce the need for abortion, someone who will help both secular and faith-based organizations to do this work. That's a political void, and those are votes that are up for grabs.
The impact of new evangelicals, however, goes beyond voting. The real work of politics happens not during elections but between them when policies are developed and when groups lobby their representatives and run their own programs that change the way we live. Even if most new evangelicals remain Republican, were they to move the party toward economic justice, immigration reform and environmental protection, that would be a very large achievement.

This is the very simple circuit diagram of 150W power amplifier. The circuit is easy enough to built without PCB. The power output range is about 100-150W depends to the power supply and the Darlington's you use for the amplifier. Heatsink is a must since the final transistor is going to hot when the amplifier is activated.
The amplifier requires split power supply. The transformer is depending to your home electrical installation, it can be 110V or 220V primary. Use 35V-0-35V secondary (transformer output), you will get about 45V DC output from transformer 35V AC after rectified by the diodes. The Transformer current output should be at least 4A for better audio performance. Use 4A / 100V diodes.


Mark and Sharon Piper, owners of the Schroon Lake Bed and Breakfast, have seen their fair share of guests in all shapes and sizes. But a couple who recently "checked in" recently caught their eye. They are grosbeaks, who make their nesting grounds in Northern New York.
"I understand these are sort of rare for the Adirondacks but you might want to confirm with an old timer. They were at our feeder today," Sharon wrote us in an email.
"The picture shows a male. He is probably one of a nesting pair," Joan told Schroon Laker today.
"The males are very colorful, the females are more muted. This is the season when the birds split up and pair up and start nesting after spending the winter in large flocks".
Joan said large groups of grosbeaks are a common sight at bird feeders throughout the winter. In fact once the birds find a source of wild bird seed, they will have no hesitation in eating a good intentioned bird lover out of house and home.
The Adirondacks are at the southern tip of their nesting grounds. Grosbeaks are boreal birds, attracted to spruce, furs and the boggy areas of the Adirondacks. Their range stretches from Canada to Mexico to the Rockies, Joan said.
And they have fans among birders who are attracted by their size, color and big beaks "I've had folks from West Virginia and Delaware come up to see them," Joan said.
Joan told us the Evening Grosbeaks are irruptive migrants -- meaning their migration is irregular and often in response to food availability. You can read more about the grosbeaks at the website of Cornell Lab of Ornithology. You can learn more about Joan's guide service here.

The printing production of thermal transfer printing film can only be regarded as a small flower in the printing industry. However, with the continuous development of the plastics industry, the surface decoration requirements for plastic products have rapidly increased. The commonly used forms of screen printing and pad printing have not met the new requirements for decoration. The new special printing form of thermal transfer, due to the transfer stamping process is simple, fast, non-polluting, good adhesion, so it has been widely recognized and accepted. Now the original small flowers, has become more and more beautiful and eye-catching, quickly forming a new consumables market.
The thermal transfer film refers to a graphic with an adhesive. Under the combined effect of heat and pressure, it can be released together with the protective layer to remove the carrier film and firmly transfer the special function printed film that follows the surface of the substrate.
Therefore, the actually used heat transfer film must have good detachability and thermal adhesion and graceful graphics. In the process of thermal transfer, it is necessary to reflect the graphic text very well and can be very "loose". It can be "tight" to leave the carrier film and stick to the surface of the product. A "loose" and "tight" is a characteristic of a "perfect" thermal transfer film and is also a key technology. The beautiful patterns, especially those obtained by gravure printing, can perfectly reflect the delicate graphics and make the packaging more perfect.
This special function of the printing film, through the thermal transfer machine heat and pressure, will transfer the graphic on the surface of the substrate, so that the products being transferred greatly enhance the grade, increasing the added value of the goods.
This kind of special function printing film is more widely used in hot stamping on the surface of different solid type plastic products that are difficult to directly print, in particular, require a multi-color printing effect. A small pen with a diameter of less than one centimeter and a length of only ten centimeters is required to print colorful and graphic rich patterns. The best printing method is, of course, thermal transfer; a triangular shaped plastic cup. The text is printed on the surface of the week, and only thermal transfer stamping is used. Therefore, the surface printing of various shapes of plastic products, thermal transfer is the best method of decoration. At present, the thermal transfer method of decorative plastic products has been widely used in stationery, daily use, makeup, artificial leather, toys, electrical appliances, furniture and other plastic products industries. This kind of special function printing film has become the most widely used consumable in the decoration industry of plastic products, and the market prospect is unlimited.
China's thermal transfer film production technology has gone from scratch, from all imports from abroad to the development process from domestic production to exports.
In the 1980s, the thermal transfer printing film with a pattern was introduced into China from abroad. Patterns and colors of flowers and patterns are all common and similar. Although it gives a good decorative effect, it lacks individuality and requires individuality. The graphic documents must also be imported, and they are expensive, and there are few products that can be used.
In the mid-1990s, the domestic production of heat transfer film was followed in the production method of anodized aluminum. Although it can obtain certain effects, it has not been able to solve the production technology better than it is in foreign countries. Quality.
After the company's efforts, we first created a new coating formula and new process in the country, especially combining the release layer and the protective layer into one layer, so that the one-time coating can replace the release layer and protect it. In this way, not only the process is reduced, the production process is shortened, the production efficiency is improved, the cost is reduced, but also the quality of the heat transfer film is improved, and the thermal fracture property, overlap property, scratch resistance, weather resistance, and printability of the heat transfer film are improved. Has been greatly improved to achieve the quality of similar foreign products. Because of its excellent quality and personalized logo service, it has been recognized and applied by many world brand manufacturers, and has been exported abroad by many brand manufacturers. It is generally exported to Japan, the United States, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, West Asia and other countries and regions.
From the beginning of the 1990s to the present more than 10 years, especially in the past two or three years, the color variety of thermal transfer film in China has been continuously increasing. In addition to conventional ordinary thermal transfer printing film, localized aluminum thermal transfer film, matte thermal transfer film, thermal transfer film with anti-counterfeiting and temperature display functionality also came first. It became popular on the first day.
Localized aluminum thermal transfer flower film is a printed flower film with obvious metallic luster. Due to the strong metallic luster, higher temperature than the electrochemical aluminum, and the graphic and overprinting accuracy, it has been rapidly applied.
Matte thermal transfer film can be used as a carrier film (matt film) with a polyester film with a certain surface roughness. After the carrier film is peeled off to leave a protective layer, the surface of the protective layer is diffusely reflected on the light. Showing a matt effect. The emergence of matte thermal transfer film solves the problem that the matte surface of existing substrates needs to be obtained through post-processing. This kind of thermal transfer flower film is more suitable for the variety of substrates that requires the entire surface to have a dumb effect, thereby increasing the decorativeness and appreciation of the transferred products, and the new market for the transfer printing film consumables.
First, the development of production technology to a deeper level. For example, the production method of the transfer printing film provided by the Chinese invention patent "a method for producing a transfer film and a product thereof" is a representative of the development of a conventional thermal transfer film based on a deeper level of development. Its appearance has introduced the market with better and higher quality thermal transfer film, and quickly occupied the high-end market of such consumables, such as the transfer film used in daily necessities Tupperware daily products, cosmetics Maybelline, Avon, etc. The transfer film used by the brand is produced using this patented technology.
Second, the level of decoration has grown to a higher level of difficulty. For example, a Chinese patent for a transfer film with a matte and shiny surface provides a different optical structure in different areas of the transfer surface of the substrate, so that the surface of the substrate is partially matte and partially bright. The transfer film is a representative of the development of the thermal transfer film market to a higher level of decoration.
Third, the development of the transfer of objects. The patent application of "Metal Products with Decorative Patterns on the Surface" and "A Transfer Printing Film and Method for Direct Transfer on the Surface of Glass Products" is a new trend in the application of thermal transfer film to the promotion and transfer of metal and glass products. . The latter is an energy-saving, environmentally-friendly, high-quality, direct, fast, and convenient method of glass surface decoration. It can directly transfer gravure printing graphics to glass products, and solves the fine printing of fine dots that are difficult to achieve by screen printing, achieving exquisite design. The graphic effect of the surface and the screen printed glass glazing is a big leap. By using this method, the baking temperature can be as low as 180° C. or less, the time is only 10 to 15 minutes, it takes 2 hours longer than glass baking, and the energy consumption required for high temperature baking from 450 to 600° C. for a long time is much greater. reduce. This new method of glass surface decoration will provide a new decoration method for the liquor industry, pharmaceutical industry and cosmetics industry in China. It will bring a big impact to China's glass manufacturing industry and effectively solve the glass manufacturing industry in China. Has been troubled for a long time.
As China's industrialization of thermal transfer printing film continues to grow, technology continues to improve and update, the use of the object of continuous development and transfer, I believe that China's thermal transfer film supplies market is bound to become larger and larger, and gradually formed in the printing industry A big flower that thrives.

Since 2013, the conflict in the Central African Republic (CAR) has repeatedly made international headlines, with alarms being raised over the escalating violence and even precursors to genocide in the country. Ethnic purges and other mass atrocities continue to take place on a near-daily basis against entire communities.
Over the past 20 years, there have been a growing number of initiatives aimed at ending the CAR conflict, but these have had little impact. Today, there are multiple armed gangs, self-defense and politico-military groups that control or exercise influence across the entire national territory. Worse yet, the perpetrators of atrocities are recognized by regional and international actors as legitimate political interlocutors with whom dialogue is necessary and peace must be negotiated.
Between 2016 and 2018, The Sentry investigated one such armed group representative, Abdoulaye Hissène, a notorious warlord involved in CAR's conflict for almost a decade. Formerly a diamond and gold trader, and since 2009 the leader of various politico-military groups, Hissène has been recognized as being responsible for an attempted coup in late 2015 and for targeted violence against UN and humanitarian staff.
The Sentry's investigation also reveals that Hissène has been successful building a profitable business and even since he has been under sanctions. He has amassed a fortune out of devastating sectarian violence. By inciting hatred and sowing divisions between ethnic and religious communities, he has gradually become a central player in the country's conflict. Hissène's rise has been possible thanks to strong ties he has developed over time with national and regional heads of state, their close allies, and with foreign business partners.
Hissène's rise illustrates a violent system endemic in CAR, and similar to other countries in east and central Africa, that incentivizes conflict over peace. War profiteers and their allies hamper political and peace efforts, since conflict and state collapse are seen as lucrative business and smart politics. Sectarian violence is used as a political negotiation tool and actors who chose to pursue peace are largely kept out of negotiations. In this system, the greater the perpetrators of atrocities and their accomplices represent a threat to the central power, the more they will become essential political interlocutors and increase their financial gain.
Ensure criminal accountability for perpetrators of atrocities, including their commercial actors.

Donald Trump found in contempt of court and ordered to pay New York's attorney general a $10,000-a-day fine

A Manhattan judge found Donald Trump in contempt of court and ordered he pay a $10,000-a-day fine.
NY AG Letitia James had asked for the fine to "coerce" him into turning over personal business documents.
James is probing whether Trump fudged his numbers in applying for loans and tax breaks.
A Manhattan judge on Monday found that Donald Trump is in contempt of court and must pay a $10,000-a-day fine to the New York attorney general until he is in compliance with subpoenas that demand his personal business documents.
Trump has failed to show he has conducted "a proper, thorough search" for paperwork Attorney General Letitia James is seeking in her three-year probe of the former president's real estate and branding company, the Trump Organization, the judge ruled.
"Mr. Trump, I know you take your business seriously," New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron said from the bench. "But I take mine seriously. I hereby hold you in civil contempt and fine you $10,000 a day."
Trump lawyer Alina Habba had argued that Trump has already turned over everything he has. She said after court that she believed she could clear the matter up quickly.
"We're going to wait for the order" to be filed in the official court docket, on Tuesday, she told reporters.
"If it's a simple order, saying 'sign an affidavit' [asserting how and where Trump's documents were searched for, as requested by the judge,] I intend to comply," she said.
"It could be resolved in an hour," she said. "It looks like they're asking for an affidavit."
In a press statement, Habba said, "We respectfully disagree with the court's decision. All documents responsive to the subpoena were produced to the attorney general months ago."
In her own press statement, James called the decision "a major victory. "
"Today, justice prevailed," she said. "For years, Donald Trump has tried ot evade the law and stop our lawful investigation into him and his company's financial dealings. Today's ruling makes clear: No one is above the law."
Engoron had hinted at how he was leaning earlier Monday, when he told one of the AG's lawyers that it's fully within Trump's right to say that James already has everything she's asked for — but that such an assertion is not enough.
"He can't produce what he doesn't have. But you can't just say, 'I don't have anything,'" the judge said. "You have to say where you looked."
The AG has complained in court documents as recently as Friday night that Trump has failed to say whether a search for documents has been made at specific locations of interest.
Those include Trump's so-called "chron" files — meaning hardcopy documents stored in chronological order after having crossed Trump's desk, as described to James' office in a deposition last summer by Trump Organization lawyer Alan Garten.
"Mr. Trump's hard copy calendars" are also missing, the latest AG filing had noted.
So are "files located in cabinets outside Mr. Trump's office," in "the storage room by Mr. Trump's office," and in "the file cabinets located on the 25th and 26th floors," the filing adds — apparent references to the Trump Organization headquarters in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
Trump "does not email," his lawyer, Alina Habba, told the judge. "He does not text-message and he has no work computer or anywhere else."
The AG's lawyers said Monday that they were well aware of that.
"He makes notes on papers," one of the AG's lawyers, Kevin C. Wallace, told the judge.
"We want to be able to understand what happened to those documents."
Earlier in the hearing, Engoron singled out Trump's own failure to sign an affidavit swearing personally that he has searched everywhere, and found nothing James wants.
"I feel like that's the 800-pound gorilla in the room here," the judge quipped. "Why don't we have an affidavit from him? Why not get an affidavit from him?"
"I would be happy to do so," if that was required, Habba responded. "Because he doesn't have anything left to give."
When the judge asked how Habba knows that "he'll swear to one?" Habba answered, "Because my client is an honest person, much to the dismay of some of the people in this room."
Also, she added, "We have have nothing to hide."
The judge responded by noting that "there is a difference between saying something — and saying something under oath."
But after the hearing, Habba said she would not be asking Trump to swear such an affidavit.
"I would be shocked if that was asked for," she told reporters. "I'm his counsel. I'd be more than happy to sign the affidavit."

More than ever I am convinced that there is contentment in the ordinary, that every moment can be made joyful, or rushed passed and missed, and that there is meaning in the small things, including spending a moment to create and enjoy a tea at Christmas time.
Christmas tea time ideas can be simple or elaborate, expensive or thrifty. The overriding point is that they are to give you space and time to breathe, to relax and to connect, either back with yourself or with others that during the year you have been just "too busy" to see.
My dears, you will know already I have a bias for vintage china tea cups. My perfect Christmas tea time is served in front of a roaring fire, teaspoons in saucers tinkle like bells, while aromatic candle light flickers. Bringing in foliage from the garden is a quick and lovely way to create instant drama and atmosphere – I love holly and ivy and branches of pine trees with dried oranges and cinnamon framed in big dramatic candle sticks.
I adore being able to have a little bit of everything, so my perfect Christmas tea time consists of bite size morsels which avoids me having to make any decisions or choices. Quite honestly, I spend whole days doing this at work, so it is hardly a surprise to want to avoid it at all costs for Christmas tea time. And do I need to say, it is all served on vintage white table linen edged with lace or crotchet. Tartan is another option but I am feeling this tea is a gentle affair.
All served with Assam or a nice bold tea blend. It goes without saying that this is leaf tea, as the tea needs both depth and flavour that you can only get from brewing leaves to balance and complement the sweetness of the cake and pastry.
Even if you are not particularly religious, quite simply Christmas tea time can create magical moments, a time to laugh and to love. May your Christmas tea be a time that is nurturing and healing and one that gives you, and others, what you wish for sand need at Christmas.

Home Smartphones LG LG Q8 is basically a smaller waterproof V20 you really wanted
LG Q8 is basically a smaller waterproof V20 you really wanted
Karan Kapri
Samsung, LG, HTC are famous in launching a scaled down version of their flagships and high-end advantageous variants. In past years, we haven't seen such practice from any of the brands but looks like LG used their previous strategy this time round. They launched the LG Q8 which is a scaled down version of the LG V20.
The LG Q8 comes with a 5.2-inch QHD Panel and also a new display on the side of the front camera. The back of the Q8 looks same as the LG V20 with the same positions for the Camera and other components.
LG this time around did a great job with launching the LG Q8, which is typically a flagship handset but a small footprint. The Phone is the one for which many people had been waiting for. Talking on the phone, it comes with IP67 waterproofing and Snapdragon 820 SoC which makes the phone a real competitor to any handset in the premium range.
The Phone comes with a dual camera setup at the back. Of the two, one camera comes with a 13-megapixel sensor with 1/2.6″ size, and 1.12µm pixel size, f/1.8 aperture. This lens comes with a 78-degree angle. Another camera comes with a 135-degree wide angle lens for capturing vast shots. The primary camera of the phone packs in OIS which makes shooting easier in the night, and while walking.
On the front, there is a 5-megapixel selfie camera which might be a bit small for the standards. The Front camera is also a wide lens camera of 120-degrees.
The screen of the phone is protected by Gorilla Glass 4 protection and is a Quantum IPS panel which LG uses with its flagship smartphones. Secondary display of the phone has a 160 x 1040 pixel resolution which is same as that we found in the LG V20, but obviously the size is smaller hence ppi is a tad higher than the V20.
The LG Q8 smartphone will be available for sale later this month, what do you think about the LG Q8? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Ekpenisi, A First Class Graduate is New Anglican Bishop
By Per Second News On Nov 19, 2018
The Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Revered Nicholas Okoh has consecrated Ven. Godfrey Ifeanyichukwu Ekpenisi, a First Class Graduate of Christian Religious Studies from the University of Abuja as Bishop, Diocese of Ika, ecclesiastical province of Bendel in present day Delta State.
Bishop Ekpenisi who was consecrated alongside two other bishops at an impressive service at St. Bartholomew's Cathedral Church, Kubwa, was elected Bishop during the Episcopal Synod of the Church held in September at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter, Minna, Niger State.
Okoh in his sermon enjoined Bishop Ekpenisi and others to be apostles to proclaim Christ's resurrection and interpret the gospel, and testify to Christ's sovereignty as Lord of lords and King of kings.
"You are called to be the guard of the faith, unity and the discipline of the church, to celebrate and to provide for the administration of the Sacraments of the new covenant, to ordain Priests and Deacons.''
The primate, who prayed for the new Bishops, asked God to "fill them with the grace and power which you gave to your apostles that they may lead those committed to their charge in proclaiming the gospel of salvation.

Responding on behalf of the newly-consecrated bishops, Ekpenisi, said "Anglicanism is growing for several reasons. One of them is that many people are looking for a church where they may feel calm, happy, and where the gospel is preached, and apparently the church of Nigeria has that face for many people today."
He expressed gratitude to the Lord and the Church: "For me it is a call to service, to be a minister serving people who serve people," he said. Describing the call of God, he said "God's call is always definite and many times when He calls someone He 'strips' the person bare.
Born on the 26th of January, 1969 at Agbor in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, Ekpenisi, until his appointment and subsequent consecration as Bishop, served as Vicar and Parish Priest Anglican Church of the Pentecost, Mabushi, and Diocese of Abuja.
He started his primary education in 1974 at Ogbe-Olie Primary School, Asaba and continued until 1979 when he obtained his First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC). He then proceeded to St. Patrick's College, Asaba for his secondary education and got his West African Secondary School Certificate (WASSCE) in 1984. In 1985, Ven. Godfrey Ekpenisi was admitted into St Thomas's Teacher's Training College, Ibusa, Delta State for Teachers Grade II Certificate. He graduated top in the class in 1987.
Between 1991 and 1994, Bishop Ekpenisi studied Mathematics at the College of Education, Agbor where he emerged the overall best graduating student in 1994, winning both the Rector's Award, School of Science Award and Mathematics Department Award as best Graduating Student.
He bagged a Second Class Science Education Degree in Mathematics in 1997 and Masters in Educational Studies & Management (M.Ed) in 2014 from the University of Benin, Benin City as well as a Post Ordination Degree in Christian Religious Studies in 2014.
Bishop Ekpenisi is a member of Nigerian Union of Teachers and also registered with Teacher's Registration Council of Nigeria. He has several publications and books to his credit among which are; "The Girl Child – Pretty, Pure and Precious" and "Flames of Fresh Fire".
He got married to Mrs. Evelyn Nkemdilim Ekpenisi in 2002, a School Teacher and the marriage is blessed with three children.
Commenting earlier on his elevation, Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa applauded Ekpenisi's emergence, after a highly competitive selection process, but said he wasn't surprised at his rise to occupy the exalted office, adding the Bishop made an indelible mark as the first student in the history of the University of Abuja to graduate with First Class Honour in the Department of Philosophy and Religions.
"With your resounding intellect, great pastoral zeal and compassion, you have over the years risen above board by preaching the word of faith towards repentance. "It is our prayer that, in your new position, God will use you to counsel and move the entire Ika Diocese, Anglican Communion in the direction in which you have been ordained to lead,'' he said.

Trump Officials Expected to See Inauguration of Square in Front of US Embassy - Breaking Israel News | Latest News. Biblical Perspective.
The Jerusalem municipality plans to inaugurate the naming of a square outside the new US embassy in Jerusalem, in the presence of officials from the Trump administration, according to the Hadashot news outlet.
A square located next to the US embassy in Jerusalem will be named, "United States Square in Honor of (US President) Donald Trump," the city's mayor, Nir Barkat revealed.
"President Trump decided to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish people, to stand on the side of historical truth and to follow through with the right thing," Barkat was quoted as saying.
Barkat posted a similar statement on Twitter this past Tuesday.
Interestingly enough, the municipality's decision to grant the new name to the square was actually made a year ago by the Names Committee and well before Trump officially announced his decision in December to move the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Moreover, this will not be the first honor in Israel that Trump will receive for deciding to move the US embassy. Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz had announced a few weeks after Trump's announcement that a new underground train station at Jerusalem's Western Wall would be named after the US president.
The municipality of Kiryat Yam, located near Haifa, had also announced its intention to name a new park in the city after Trump. The decision elicited a response from Trump in which he conveyed his gratitude to the municipality.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina health officials say a six-year-old is the state's first death from the flu this season.
The state Department of Health and Human Services has recorded no other flu deaths since the infection season began in October. North Carolina's flu death toll by the same time last year was 14.
State health officials say the six-year old died more than two weeks ago of complications from an influenza infection. Officials won't name the child's hometown, county or even gender to protect the family's privacy.
The child was at risk for complications from the flu because of other medical conditions.
State Health Director Dr. Laura Gerald says the death is a reminder that flu is a serious illness and can be devastating to people at any age.


The Minnesota Timberwolves fell to the Boston Celtics 114-98 Friday night.
It was an interesting game for both teams. Earlier in the day Minnesota traded Corey Brewer to the Houston Rockets, while the Celtics sent Rajon Rondo to Dallas.
In the fourth quarter, leading by three at 95-92 the Celtics pulled away with a late run that locked up the win.
Boston shot a blistering 56 percent from the floor and used a balanced attack with six players in double figures.
Kelly Olynyk led the way, he scored 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Jeff Green chipped in 18 points with seven boards and three other Celtics added 14.
Shabazz Muhammed led the Wolves with 26, he was 11-of-15 shooting. Chase Budinger added 19, while knocking down three from behind the arc.
It was a rough night for Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins was just 2-of-10 shooting and scored just five points.
Minnesota trailed by five at the half, but battled to stay in the game until the late run by the Celtics put it away.
The Wolves (5-20) return to the Target Center to face Indiana Sunday evening.

Dr. Crew's Office: To Serve the Governor or the Public?
Oregon Save Our Schools met with Dr. Rudy Crew last year, a few months after he was hired in Oregon. We wanted to open a dialogue with him to share concerns of the voice of the public to include parents, teachers, and community members. After meeting for over an hour, which Dr. Crew and his staff graciously stayed longer than what was scheduled, it was obvious that the voice of the public was not in his job expectations. It was clear that his job was to push and support the education reform plans put out by Governor Kitzhaber and the OEIB. It was a true disappointment, but it was also a reveal as to the agenda put forth by those in power, and that the public was at best, an irritant. Below is a reflection of one of our members, Tom Olson, from that meeting. -- Oregon SOS
by Tom Olson
Right after our 90 minute "dialogue" with Crew shortly after he arrived, several of us decided to launch a poll contest. The question was: "Guess how long he'll stay in this job?" The answers clustered around 2 years. He firmly committed to a three year contract. But we all had done the research on his past history. Left Tacoma under a test cheating cloud. Then left after being fired from the New York superintendent's job (left with a $500 million" "parachute" that he negotiated; left after being fired from the Miami job (guess what....ANOTHER half million $ parachute). Many other issues--some even more concerning--- arose when we did our research on his background (obviously the OEIB or Kitzhaber either didn't know about this shady past, or they didn't give a damn.)
Throughout our entire 90 minute interview with him, he never asked us ONE question. He bloviated throwing meaningless phrases around like fairy dust, and then lost his cool when I, as moderator, said that we needed to move on in the discussion.
He does not care about classroom teachers/administrators or board members. He only cares about his own damned Herculean ego. Any competent person assigned to do a background check on this guy would discover this.
I cannot find one iota of indication that he has listened carefully to educators on the "front line". I cannot find one bold position that he has taken that would respect educators' much deeper knowledge of teaching and learning than he has. Clackamas County hosted an Education Summit involving more than 200 people. He "blew in/blew off/ and then....blew out---BEFORE hearing reports from 13 discussion tables of people who represented the front lines. When I asked why he left so abruptly, I was informed that he explained to the conference coordinator that he was "simply too tired to stay." Our district has an international reputation for its teacher-driven uses of technology. When invited to visit and see our schools's work on this, he didn't even have the damned decency to return the call. He only attended two of the 8 public forums that OEIB held---supposedly to seek public input on the "strategic investments".
Even worse, he actually violated Senate Bill 1581 when he rejected 1/3 of the school districts' achievement compacts. He had absolutely NO authority under that law to reject them. Then he, worse, BLOVIATED about how too many local districts had too low standards and how they were "gaming the system" (THAT's a direct quote!)
Bottom line, I don't know how we would do much worse than Crew. But Looking at Kitzhaber and his business buddies on the OEIB record so far....I'm now convinced they could actually do worse!
Since Crew committed to a three year stint as CEO, his desire to interview for greener pastures is a gross violation of professional ethics. If, on the other hand, this is a ruse that covers up that Kitzhaber is trying to push him out, why not just do that instead of playing this game? And why did Crew's Chief of Staff (formerly his "marketing director" when in Miami) leave her $130,000 job after only a year? I never have been able to discover whether there was actually any search/competition for this job---or did they just let Crew decide to hire her? So much for affirmative action?
But "Game playing" is what it's all about when it comes to Kitzhaber/OEIB/Crew. So enjoy watching the game now.
Ain't nothin' gonna get better until the legislature "sunsets" the whole OEIB charade. But I'm not counting on that. That would take some courage, and some examination of the actual facts that this whole thing is a stinkin' travesty.
