Leaked render shows off Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with its keyboard
By Sagar Bakre	 On Feb 22, 2017
The Internet is currently abuzz with leaked images and renders and specifications of all the devices that are expected to be unveiled at MWC 2017 which starts next week. While Samsung has made it clear that their Galaxy S8 won't be unveiled at MWC, their tablet, the Galaxy Tab S3 is expected to create some buzz during the show. We already have had a look at the Tab S3, however, it has leaked again, this time with its keyboard.
This render of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 was shared by Evan Blass on Twitter. This image also shows off the Galaxy Tab S3 along with its keyboard. The design of the Galaxy Tab S3 is in line with the image that was leaked last week which also showed off the S Pen with the tablet. Well, coming back to the keyboard, it's very likely that it will be connected via Bluetooth to the tablet.
The Galaxy Tab S3 had also surfaced on GFXBench last month which revealed most of its specifications. According to that GFXBench listing, the Tab S3 would come with Snapdragon 820 SoC, Adreno 530 GPU, 4 GB RAM, 9.6-inch display (with resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels), 32 GB internal storage, 12 MP front camera and 5 MP front camera.
The Galaxy Tab S3 is said to come in only one size i.e., 9.6-inch, but, it will have two models – a Wi-Fi only variant, and, a Wi-Fi + LTE variant. The latter is said to be priced at around $600 in the US. The Galaxy Tab S3 is expected to be unveiled on February 26 and we should know more about the tablet the same day. Samsung will be live streaming their event on www.samsung.com/galaxy which will start at 7 pm CET (11.30 pm IST).

Q: How to return values entered in a dynamic table textboxes if there is an error on form submit Coud somebody please help me. I have a textbox name "txtremise" found in a dynamic table where user enter a discount %. I am trying to return the values entered in each textbox if there is an error during the form submit.
Lets say, there are 3 rows with 3 textboxes in the table. A user enter 5, 10, 15 respectively in each textbox. Let's say there was an error upon submitting the form, i need the values 5, 10, 15 back in their respective textboxes. Can somebody please assist?
Here is how i generate the textboxes:
    <?php
    while($iArticles < count($listeArticlePourUnDossier))
    {
    ?>

            <?php echo ($listeArticlePourUnDossier[$iArticles]['ARTICLE_NOM']); ?>

                <input type="text" name="txtremise[]" id="txtremise_<?php echo $iArticles; ?>" class="remise" value="<?php echo $_POST['txtremise'];" />

    <?php
    $iArticles++;
    }
    ?>

Thank you for helping.

A: <?php
$i=0;
while($iArticles < count($listeArticlePourUnDossier))
{
?>

        <?php echo ($listeArticlePourUnDossier[$iArticles]['ARTICLE_NOM']); ?>

            <input type="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['txtremise'][$i])){ echo $_POST['txtremise_'][$iArticles];}?>" name="txtremise[]" id="txtremise_<?php echo $iArticles; ?>" class="remise" value="<?php echo $_POST['txtremise'];" />

<?php
$i++;
$iArticles++;
}
?>

You still have that value in either $_POST or $_GET so check if the key is isset then echo the value. So all you need is to add value in your input

South Sudan Ranks Among Most Deadly for Journalists
The Committee to Project Journalists says 95 percent of the journalists murdered around the world over the last 10 years were local reporters. Yet, in its latest report, it says many of those responsible go unpunished.
The CPJ says such impunity is one of the biggest threats to freedom of the press. CPJ consultant Elisabeth Witchel, author of the new Global Impunity Index titled "Getting Away With Murder," said South Sudan ranks among the top five countries where journalists have been murdered with impunity in 2016.
"The situation is very dangerous, more dangerous than ever," she said. "We're seeing journalists not just targeted for their work, not just from something they might be reporting on, but simply because they are journalists."
And the threats are not just coming from one side.
"It's not all government soldiers attacking journalists," Witchel said. "We're seeing criminal groups that have become very powerful targeting journalists. We're seeing political groups like in South Sudan [where they] target journalists."
The report noted that in January 2015, five journalists were shot, attacked with machetes, and set on fire in an ambush in Western Bahr el Ghazal state in South Sudan. The journalists were in a political lawmaker's convoy when they were attacked.
In September, a major South Sudanese newspaper was shut down by government operatives. In July, a local journalist was shot and killed in Juba when gunmen wearing government uniforms broke into the Terrain complex, which houses foreign and local journalists and aid workers.
The worst country for the second straight year is Somalia, where the militant group al-Shabab is suspected of carrying out a majority of fatal attacks on journalists. Iraq and Syria rank second and third on the 2016 index.
Witchel said they were surprised last year to see Somalia surpass Iraq, where a record number of journalists were killed, "and 99 percent of them with complete impunity."
Between last year and this year, Witchel said there have been a few, slight improvements, which she calls encouraging, but added, "they are really very, very small."
Having no consequences for the perpetrators sends a menacing message to the media and the entire country, according to Witchel.
"You might start to see self-censorship, you see it become harder and harder for the media to cover important issues, and then that creates a huge information gap," she said. "It makes it very difficult for countries like South Sudan that need to build a functioning civil society."
More of the murdered journalists covered politics and corruption in their home countries than any other beat.
In at least 40 percent of cases, the victims reported receiving threats before they were killed. According to CPJ, threats are seldom investigated by authorities and in only a handful of cases is adequate protection provided.

After a months-long siege by the Islamic State group, Iraq is about to retake the Sunni city of Tikrit, thanks to an army largely made up of Shiite militias backed by Iran. Tehran's influence in Iraq has been rapidly increasing through a widespread network of proxy Shiite militias whose presence could tear open old wounds for the country's Sunni population.
The offensive began on Monday and is one of the largest and most successful pushes against the militant group also known as ISIS. When ISIS declared a "caliphate" in Iraq this summer, the Iraqi government requested that the U.S. support the Iraqi Armed Forces on the ground and lead an air campaign to eradicate the militant group. Despite this partnership, the Iraqi army passed up on U.S. support in Tikrit, in favor of the growing network of Shiite militias.
The U.S. has ramped up the number of military trainers in Iraq as ISIS has continued to advance toward the capital of Baghdad, but Iraq's military forces are still not enough to take on ISIS and are severely outnumbered by the Iran-backed militias that can now muster between 100,000 to 120,000, the Washington Post reported.
Roughly 30,000 fighters were part of the offensive that began on Monday and only half were Iraqi military, according to the Washington Post. About 2,000 combatants were Sunni tribal fighters and the remaining 13,000 were likely Shiite militia forces.
Iranian Gen. Ghasem Soleimani was reportedly in Iraq on Tuesday overseeing the offensive in Tikrit. Soleimani commands the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force, one of the most powerful branches of the Iranian military. Iranian opposition groups estimated last year that there were roughly 7,000 Quds forces on the ground in Iraq both fighting and training new militia forces.
In 2012, Soleimani reportedly requested that 5,000 Iraqi Shiite volunteer fighters be deployed to Syria at the start of the civil war to support President Bashar Assad's army. Many of those fighters came back to Iraq to join the fight against ISIS. Others ran for government positions under former Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Maliki's decision to step down last year was a blow to Iran's influence in the country, but the Shiite regime has since been able to grow its proxy groups.
"A trend in the development of Iranian proxies is the creation of seemingly new groups characterized by unified ideology and loyal, proven personnel," according to the "The Shiite Jihad in Syria and Its Regional Effects," written by Smyth and published in the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
There are at least 37 Iraqi Shiite militias with some degree of relationship to Iran, and 13 groups follow this trend. The militias are mostly made up of Shiite Iraqi combatants who have been trained in Syria, Lebanon and even Iran. At least six of Iraq's Shiite militias have ties to Lebanon's Shiite Iran-backed organization Hezbollah and at least nine have ties to the Badr Organization, an Iraqi political party whose military wing is commanded by Iran.
Among the Shiite militias who participated in Monday's offensive is Kataib Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist group with ideological ties to Hezbollah in Lebanon. The group announced its participation in the operation through its website and posted videos and photos from the front lines in Tikrit to its social media pages.
"Tomorrow we will launch a system of advanced missiles that are specially made for the battle to liberate all Tikrit and Salahuddin province," Kataib Hezbollah spokesperson Jaafar al-Husseini Aksari said, according to the group's Facebook page.
Kataib Hezbollah, along with Iran-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq, were a driving force behind the August 2014 Iraqi offensive to break the ISIS siege in Amerli, according to Reuters. Shiite militias fought alongside Kurdish peshmerga forces, who now receive arms and funding from the U.S.
Iraqi militia group Kataib al-Imam Ali also reportedly participated in the offensive to retake Tikrit, but was responsible for the road toward Tikrit in in Salahuddin, according to a statement posted to the group's website. The variety of Shiite brigades involved in this operation underscores the increasing Shiite presence in a largely Sunni area.
"Shiite militias have been taking advantage of the atmosphere of lawlessness and impunity to abduct and kill Sunni men, seemingly in reprisal or revenge for IS attacks and at times also to extort money from the families of those they have abducted," according to an Amnesty International report on Shiite militias in Iraq.
Tikrit is a predominantly Sunni city -- and the hometown of Saddam Hussein -- where residents have long been victims of sectarian crackdowns from Iraq's Shiite leaders and militias. During his time as prime minister, Al-Maliki was widely blamed for violent crackdowns against Iraq's Sunni population. He stepped down last year.


I am very excited to be joining Team R&B for the Cape Code Getaway this year. As some of you may know, cycling is more than just a hobby for me. It's my way of connecting (and staying connected) with strangers and friends through common interests both on and off the bike. Something I've been trying to get better at is giving back to the community and the sport that I love so dearly. I can think of no better way than to support the efforts of Bike MS.
Multiple sclerosis affects millions of people, including our loved ones, families, friends and co-workers. That's why I've registered for Bike MS. Bike MS is a ride (not a race) that brings us together to make a difference and each mile we ride brings us closer to a world free of MS.
I am asking you to support me in Bike MS because this cause is meaningful to me. Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling, disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Millions of people are affected by MS and the challenges of living with its unpredictable symptoms, which range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS.
You can find my fundraising page here!
As a special thank you, I would like to offer a little something extra for all those who help support my fundraising efforts. Every person who donates will be entered into a raffle for a home cooked meal by yours truly for you and 3 friends (this only applies to those in Boston, sorry!). The winner can choose anything in my Home Cooking section and I will make it happen. And for those who are not local, the winner can opt for a $25 Amazon gift card! As a added incentive, if you want to double your chances of winning, you can help support my other fundraising effort for the J&J Triathlon Team. Each donation will count as a separate entry so it is a win-win-win situation!

QLDC seeks to reassure boaties over harbourmaster resignation
From QLDC:
Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) has confirmed waterways officers including harbourmasters will be operating as normal this summer to ensure users of lakes and rivers across the district adhere to water safety rules and bylaws.
QLDC Regulatory Manager Anthony Hall took the opportunity to remind boaties about the differing roles and responsibilities of the various services overseeing our waterways – including Maritime NZ, Coastguard, the Police and the harbourmasters – especially when it comes to emergency situations.
"With the busy holiday season about to begin it's a good opportunity to remind everyone that in any emergency situation people should first call 111 and ask for the Police. Boaties with a VHF radio should also know how to put out a mayday call on specific channels relating to their location1. For non-emergencies, such as a broken-down vessel, Coastguard should be called on *500," he said.
"The role of the harbourmaster and other Council-managed waterways officers is education and ensuring users of lakes and rivers adhere to relevant water safety rules and bylaws such as the mandatory wearing of lifejackets on all vessels under six metres, speed limits in different waterways and so on. Any concerns about these can be reported to Council by phoning 03 441 0499 or lodging a Request for Service via our website."
Mr Hall also acknowledged the concern among some members of the Upper Clutha community regarding the temporary vacancy in the role of a specific Wānaka-based harbourmaster, but reassured the public that there would be no loss of service.
"Public safety remains our priority and you can expect to see waterways officers out and about this summer, both at boat ramps sharing information to assist with self-compliance and handing out new information guides, as well as out on the water with jet skis. Deployment is always influenced by the weather and local demand but there will be the same level of service expected by the local community and visitors across Lakes Wānaka and Hāwea as well as Lake Whakatipu and all their associated rivers," he said.
"Not having a locally-based harbourmaster in the Upper Clutha at the present time is obviously disappointing, especially as we approach the holidays, but we have deliberately built resilience and capacity into the wider team for any unforeseen staff issues, particularly with the potential effects of COVID-19 in mind."
Mr Hall reiterated that Council and its contractor Cougar Security Group work closely with Maritime NZ, the national safety regulator for recreational and commercial activity on the country's waterways. This includes working together on education and enforcement as well as certification of the contractor's vessels and staff training plans.
"Maritime NZ also has a role in investigating serious incidents and accidents, and in supporting and coordinating search and rescue operations in collaboration with other agencies such as the Police and Coastguard," he said.

Canby E-Edition
School will start before Labor Day for next two years
Kristen Wohlers
Board of Directors approved next two school calendars, with first day of school before Labor Day
It's official. School will start before Labor Day next year and the year after.
The Canby School District Board of Directors voted unanimously last month to approve the academic calendars for the next two school years, with the 2020-2021 year beginning on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 and the 2021-2022 year beginning on Aug. 30-31.
Human Resources Director Michelle Riddell did much of the legwork to create the calendars, but throughout the process, she sought feedback from parents, teachers and peers.
Included in that feedback were survey responses from parents. At the end of last school year, the district sent out a survey, asking in one question whether parents preferred starting school before or after Labor Day, as the holiday falls later in September in the next two years.
Starting after Labor Day would mean the end of the school year would be later in June.
Fifty-five percent of parent respondents said they'd prefer their children to start school before Labor Day and end the year sometime around June 10. Nearly 36 percent said they'd prefer to start after Labor Day with an end-date around June 17. Nearly 9 percent did not have an opinion.
So, the calendar was created with school starting before the holiday.
Another item included in the calendar is a potential snow make-up day on March 19. Superintendent Trip Goodall expressed hope that this will prevent school ending on a Monday again.
"If we were to have snow, if you add that at the end of the school year, you may get the same situation that we had last year where all of a sudden, you've got a Monday where kids are coming back to school," Goodall said at the December board meeting. "And that's always problematic at the end of the year."
Riddell reiterated this idea, noting she heard "loud and clear" ending on a Monday was not ideal.
"Please, whatever you do, don't end on a Monday," one parent told Riddell at a calendar committee meeting.

Ernest v. Lockheed Martin (Unlawful Termination)
Joseph "Max" Ernest, a Navy reservist who was laid off from his job at Lockheed Martin after serving in Iraq, filed a federal lawsuit claiming his termination violated the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and Colorado law. Ernest was working as a counterintelligence/counter-terrorism and law enforcement analyst for Lockheed Martin when in March 2006 he was put on active duty for 11 months, including a nine-month deployment to Baghdad. In 2010, an arbitrator awarded Ernest almost $250,000 in back pay, prejudgment interest, attorney's fees, expert witness fees, and other costs and expenses.

We need to combat terrorism on a number of fronts but it is not clear how necessary terrorist entity listings are.
This piece appeared in The Hill Times on December 09, 2019.
Governments have a variety of tools to confront terrorism. There are, of course, the 'pointy ends' of the stick, i.e. security intelligence and law enforcement agencies upon whom we rely to detect and prevent acts of terrorism. In Canada those organisations, CSIS and the RCMP, serve us well.
There are also other players who have smaller roles. The Canadian military has done its part in foreign deployments in Afghanistan, Iraq, Mali and elsewhere, although seeing this challenge through the lens of a 'war on terrorism' is both unhelpful and largely counterproductive.
In addition we have the border agents (Canada Border Services Agency – CBSA), the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA – more on them in a bit) and even my old employer, CSE (Communications Security Establishment, our signals intelligence agency). When I worked at CSE from 1983 to 2000 we did not 'do' counter terrorism: I am fairly certain that changed after 9/11.
Then there is Public Safety Canada (PSC), the so-called 'umbrella' department for CSIS, the RCMP, etc. as well as the office of the Minister. I was there for 18 months in 2013-2015 and felt like a fish out of water, let me tell you. I never did figure out what the department really did, especially on the counter terrorism file. That is not to imply there were not fine, dedicated civil servants with whom I worked.
One tangible thing PSC does do is maintain what is known as the 'list of terrorist entities' (you can find the current version here). The department's Web page describes the purpose of such a list as follows (extracts):
The listing of an entity is a public means of identifying a group or individual as being associated with terrorism…It is not a crime to be listed. However, one of the consequences of being listed is that the entity's property can be the subject of seizure/restraint and/or forfeiture…It is an offence to knowingly participate in or contribute to, directly or indirectly, any activity of a terrorist group.
The page goes on to state that the process of listing begins with intelligence: it does not. At least it did not when I helped write the first listings at CSIS in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. We were told to use only open source material as the listing would be a public document.
One tangible thing Public Safety Canada does do is maintain what is known as the 'list of terrorist entities.' Would anything change if the listings disappeared tomorrow? Probably not. There are a lot more important actions being taken by the agencies which really matter on this issue.
More importantly it is not clear why we have such a list in the first place.
Do we need PSC to tell Canadians that Islamic State and Al Qaeda are terrorist organizations? I should hope not.
The only useful part of the listings, as I see it, is the fact that CRA and others can use them to seize assets – if they can prove that those assets were used to further terrorist ends I imagine. How hard that is to do I have no idea. We have failed miserably in terrorism trials in the recent past so I have no idea if we are faring any better on this front.
Would anything change if the listings disappeared tomorrow? Probably not. There are a lot more important actions being taken by the agencies which really matter on this issue.

Delays In Deporting Accused Calgary Gangster Frustrate Immigration Minister
By Richard Cuthbertson
Calgary Herald
CALGARY Federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says he's frustrated at difficulties in deporting dangerous foreign criminals from Canada, adding changes to the law may be needed as lengthy delays and appeals could undermine public confidence in the system.
Kenney said this week that the public expects "that once a decision's been taken that someone is a gangster or a serious criminal, and they're a foreign citizen that the appeals don't go on forever.
"There has to be a point where Canada says, 'I'm sorry, you've abused our generosity, you violated our laws, you pose a danger to our country, and you're out of here.' "
Kenney's remarks came after alleged Calgary gang member Jackie Tran was ordered released from custody this week on the heels of an emergency stay of his deportation order to Vietnam.
During the past 18 months, Tran's case has been dragged through appeals and a judicial review and there is no sense yet of when, or if, the 26-year-old man will be deported.
Kenney noted he wasn't speaking specifically of Tran's case, but said he was to be briefed on it this week.
Changes may be needed, he said Wednesday, and those could mean amendments to the law, including the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Calgary police have been calling for a review to tighten what they say are legal and procedural loopholes that allow for multiple appeals and judicial reviews of deportation orders.
On Saturday, a federal judge granted a stay of Tran's deportation order, pending a review.
Then on Wednesday, he was ordered released from custody by an immigration board member who said Tran didn't pose a flight risk as his deportation was no longer imminent, nor was he a danger to the public.
Tran's lawyer, Raj Sharma, said there have been no unreasonable delays in Tran's case.
Sharma noted an immigration appeal decision that his client should be deported came down only five months ago and Tran is seeking a judicial review of that ruling.
He will also seek a judicial review of a separate decision, handed down Tuesday, which found that while Tran denies gang membership, he admitted to socializing and being friends with some members of the FOB Killers gang.
That gang has been locked in a bloody feud in Calgary with the rival gang FOB.
Sharma said his client is simply using the legal avenues available to him, remedies that sometimes prevent injustices from occurring.
"No one's going to argue with Minister Kenney that unreasonable delays for removing individuals with serious criminal convictions may undermine the system," Sharma said.
"But at the end of the day . . . these are the legal remedies that (Tran is) entitled to. He's entitled to seek review of these decisions."

Progressive Christians often criticize the pro-life movement for only caring about babies before they're born, and not enough about "social justice" issues after they're born. They don't spend enough time or energy on so-called "whole life" issues like poverty and racism and climate change.
Here are two responses: First, a movement can only do so much. Of course we should care about every injustice, but pro-life organizations should not be expected to spend their already-thin budget on every problem in society, especially when other organizations are called to those issues.
Second, are social justice advocates living up to their own demand? So many who are vocal on after-birth issues are silent about nothing less than the taking of innocent, pre-born human lives.
As blogger Samuel Sey recently wrote on twitter: "One of the biggest indictments against the social justice movement within evangelicalism today is that it hasn't produced a greater passion against the biggest human rights violation of our time—abortion. In fact, it's producing more apathy and support for abortion." Well said.

Direct identification of a bacterial manganese(II) oxidase, the multicopper oxidase MnxG, from spores of several different marine Bacillus species
Gregory J. Dick, Justin W. Torpey, Terry J. Beveridge, Bradley M. Tebo
Microorganisms catalyze the formation of naturally occurring Mn oxides, but little is known about the biochemical mechanisms of this important biogeochemical process. We used tandem mass spectrometry to directly analyze the Mn(II)-oxidizing enzyme from marine Bacillus spores, identified as an Mn oxide band with an in-gel activity assay. Nine distinct peptides recovered from the Mn oxide band of two Bacillus species were unique to the multicopper oxidase MnxG, and one peptide was from the small hydrophobic protein MnxF. No other proteins were detected in the Mn oxide band, indicating that MnxG (or a MnxF/G complex) directly catalyzes biogenic Mn oxide formation. The Mn(II) oxidase was partially purified and found to be resistant to many proteases and active even at high concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Comparative analysis of the genes involved in Mn(II) oxidation from three diverse Bacillus species revealed a complement of conserved Cu-binding regions not present in well-characterized multicopper oxidases. Our results provide the first direct identification of a bacterial enzyme that catalyzes Mn(II) oxidation and suggest that MnxG catalyzes two sequential one-electron oxidations from Mn(II) to Mn(III) and from Mn(III) to Mn(IV), a novel type of reaction for a multicopper oxidase.

Friday's flag raising happened on the final day of the Chants eight-day trip through Cuba.
HAVANA, Cuba -- Fifty-four years, seven months and 10 days after the flag of the United States of America was lowered at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba, Old Glory returned to the top of that same flag pole and the Coastal Carolina University men's basketball team was on hand to witness the historical moment.
The Chanticleer travel party departed their hotel in Varadero, Cuba, at 6:45 a.m., traveled more than two hours to Havana in hopes of seeing the historic flag raising. The Chants parked approximately two blocks from the U.S. Embassy and walked toward the throng of people and numerous American and international media members assembled to view the event.
Head coach Cliff Ellis worked his way to the front of the line, spoke to members of the American delegation and was granted permission to bring his team inside the Embassy gate to view the flag raising, which was preceded by an address from U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
Following Kerry's remarks, the U.S. Marine Guard Detachment that lowered the flag on Jan. 4, 1961 presented the Stars and Stripes to the U.S. Marine Guard Detachment of 2015 to raise. As soon as the flag was unfurled and began its journey to the top of the pole, the U.S. Marine Brass Quartet played the Star Spangled Banner.
The Chants then departed the Embassy and began their journey back home to Conway, South Carolina. The team returned to U.S. soil at 4:38 p.m when the flight landed at the Tampa International Airport.

Interview: Gregory Steel
Art, Interviews | October 22, 2013 |
Gregory Steel, City Audio Tracks 1, video still
Gregory Steel is an American artists, born in Detroit, currently Assistant Professor of Fine Arts & New Media at Indiana University Kokomo. As a self-taught artist, Steel held jobs in various disciplines in order to support his work, but after many years of making art on his own he realized he needed a serious arts education. Steel received a BFA from The College for Creative Studies in Detroit, and an MFA in New Genres from the University of Michigan. After his studies were completed he took a position at The College for Creative Studies teaching sculpture and experimental media.
Luca Curci – When you start practicing art and why?
Gregory Steel – I have always done artwork, since childhood it has been a practice of mine to draw, paint, scribble and construct things, it has always been a part of my life and who I am. I continue this practice today no matter where or in what circumstance I find myself in, I practice making art and thinking of art as I do my day to day business.
L. C. – Can you talk about your artistic work? Which are your inspirations?
G. S. – I think it is difficult to encapsulate one's work in a few sentences. As an artist I see my work is constantly evolving and developing as I develop as a person. At this point in my life my work is deeply attached to my interest in philosophy so much of my work becomes an exercise or a statement related to different philosophical issues and problems. My current research involves the sublime and much of my visual work is guided by the problematics I find in the sublime. Visual experience of the sublime has been with us for very long time and besides beauty it is the second core issue in the aesthetic. I am inspired by many things, experiences, images, concepts and philosophical problems. I tend to blend these together when working on a piece or considering the creation of visual experience, in other words, my work tends to ask questions about the world, our perceptions and the problems we deal with being humans.
I've been inspired by many other artists primarily, Marcel Duchamp, Allan Kaprow, Bill Viola and Pipillotti Rist just to name a few. That being said, I find inspiration all around me all the time in the lives we live collectively in the problems and issues we share as beings.
Gregory Steel, Pingpong, video still
L. C. – What are you currently working on?
G. S. – Currently I am working on a PhD in philosophy, aesthetics and critical theory and writing a dissertation titled, "The Genealogy of the Sublime; a Lacanian Analytic". Although this academic research is taking up much of my time currently I'm making great strides in finding and making connections with the visual and issues of the sublime. Some current artistic research has to do with the perceptions and refractions of light as it relates to a sublime experience. I have begun working on a new series of videos dealing with with light and the sublime. This work aligns the visual and academic in both areas support and enhance the other. It is my hope that upon the completion of my dissertation I will also have completed a series of video's that complement the written portion of the dissertation and present in a visual way the ideas and concepts expressed in the written work. In addition to the video work I have begun a series of photographic work capturing images that express the visual experience of the sublime from different aspects both the seen and the seer's perspective.
Gregory Steel, Joseph Steel, video still
L. C. – What was the best advice given to you as an artist?
G. S. – Probably the best advice I was given as an artist was to keep working, keep thinking, and follow my own heart. To believe in myself and to respect myself as a human and is an artist living in the world. To be grateful for the opportunities to be an artist, to share my deepest thoughts and emotions with others and to remain humble.
L. C. – What is art for you?
G. S. – Art is something humans do, is part of who and what we are, it is us. Asking a question like this is difficult to answer because it is so much a part of humanity. We are all creators in one way or another to say I am an artist means that I am doing something in particular and that that particular thing is called art. But the question remains, what is art? It's a little alike asking what is to be human or what is to be alive? I think the mystery of what it is is part of what it is, in other words, the fact that it is indefinable is as necessary to the notion of art as to our attempted explanation. It is as much a great mystery as his human existence and probably should and always remain so. It is freedom, in its most pure sense and form and in its pure freedom it is the most beautiful and sublime experiences that we can have and/or create. For me this is the important thing about art, that expresses this total freedom, this total beauty, and ultimately a sublime experience.
Gregory Steel, Night Sky, video still
L. C. – What do you think about International ArtExpo organization?
G. S. – I think the International ArtExpo organization is a fantastic element in the world of contemporary art today. It brings together international exhibitions and provides unique and interesting options and possibilities for artists from around the world. Opportunities that they would otherwise not have nor could they have. The work that International ArtExpo does and the level at which they perform is amazing! From small out-of-the-way exhibitions to major contemporary art world events these opportunities for artists to ask exhibit their work and to share with the rest of the world offer an unprecedented level for any artist, a long-standing professional to someone just beginning. The different curators and organizers of these events and the artist participating create a mix of relationships that generate further opportunities and possibilities for exhibitions and artists to share their work. I have been involved with International ArtExpo for many years now and have always appreciated and been grateful for the work they have done in the opportunities they've presented me as a visual artist. I look forward to many more years of collaboration and work with the organization, the curators and organizers of exhibitions yet to come.
Gregory Steel, Road, video still
L. C. – Do you think International ArtExpo organization can represent an opportunity for artists?
G. S. – The International ArtExpo organization is a great opportunity for artists to engage with an international audience. It is difficult for many artist to find exhibition opportunities even in their local communities without finding an opportunity to show on such a large stage and in an international context. The fact that International ArtExpo exists primarily for this purpose is amazing and exciting. I recommend to all my students and friends that they seek out these kinds of opportunities and options for themselves as a developed their own art careers and wish to share their visual creations and images with the world. I think organizations like this are the future of the world of art as a create opportunities for artists outside of the proper art world and allow the artist freedom to express and to show their work in places otherwise unavailable. The amazing work that International ArtExpo does cannot be measured nor can it be dismissed; all artists should pay attention and get involved if they can. This organization represents a shift in possibility for our and for all the artists, to miss this opportunity is to miss a possible new future.

Are you sure you want to remove "How to Choose a Hedge Trimmer" from My Projects?
Hedge trimmers are some of the most versatile and time-saving outdoor tools you'll own. There are different types and sizes available, and for all but the smallest shrubs (where you can use manual hedge clippers), you'll want a power hedge trimmer to get the job done quickly and easily.
With so many electric hedge trimmers out there, it's important to assess your needs and select one that has the features and dimensions that will work best for you. Here are some guidelines from the yard maintenance experts here at BLACK+DECKER.
First, take a look around your yard. Are your hedges short and compact or do they meet you at eye level or higher? Trimmers with shorter blades like this 16-inch Electric Hedge Trimmer are easy to maneuver and make quick work of smaller hedges and bushes. A hedge trimmer with a longer blade, such as this 22 in. SAWBLADE™ Electric Hedge Trimmer, is ideal for bigger hedges where you want a larger cutting swath and smooth, clean lines. If your hedges are very large and tower over your head, or if they grow into hard-to-reach corners, consider a pole hedge trimmer to give you extra reach.
If you will be cutting larger limbs and branches on well-established shrubs, you'll need maximum muscle from a hedge trimmer. BLACK+DECKER offers trimmer models with a unique feature called SAWBLADE™, which gives you a lot more cutting power for larger branches. This line of electric hedge trimmers offers a variety of blade sizes. The 16 in. SAWBLADE™ Electric Hedge Trimmer will cut branches up to 1 in. thick, and the 20 in. SAWBLADE™ Electric Hedge Trimmer is suitable for larger hedges, easily cutting branches up to 1.5 in.
T-style handles have a sturdy t-shaped knob at the front to provide a wide, balanced grip on the trimmer and plenty of control. This 16-in. Electric Hedge Trimmer with T-handle is compact and perfect for smaller cutting jobs. It also has a full-length trigger to reduce fatigue.
Wrap-around handles are designed for maximum comfort and maneuverability because you can easily change your grip position according to the angle of the cut. Tools like this 18-in. Electric Hedge Trimmer or 22-in. Electric Hedge Trimmer are lightweight and feature a full wrap-around handle for comfortable operation in any position.
Dual-action blades like the one on this 17 in. Electric Hedge Trimmer reduce vibration compared to single-action blades, helping to improve comfort and reduce fatigue as you work.


Your Coveo Cloud V2 organization uses an indexing pipeline with various stages to process source items from enterprise repositories and make them searchable (see Coveo Cloud V2 Indexing Pipeline).
An extension consists in a Python script used to customize the way source items are indexed. You must define the extension in your Coveo Cloud organization, and then apply it to one or more sources. When items are processed in the pipeline, your extension is applied at the preconversion or postconversion stage.
You make a website searchable using a Web source type. The last modification date of the page content is only available in a <meta> element in the pages, but as a text string in the local time (e.g., March 12, 2017 03:11:32 PM). You want to use this date text string and properly include it in an index date field in UTC format.
You (or a developer) create an extension with a Python script that converts the date text to a UTC date value and sets a metadata with the converted value.
As shown in the following diagram, when a crawled or pushed item enters the indexing pipeline, the Document Processing Manager (DPM) adds a preconversion or postconversion stage for each extension that is applied to a source.
An extension can be conditionally applied for each source item based on the item type (Common versus Specific extension application), or based on a condition expression.
The following procedure outlines the steps to get an indexing pipeline extension to work its magic.
Create or adapt a script to use in your extension.
You need at least basic developer skills to write or adapt a sample script that does the custom processing you need for one or more of your Coveo Cloud V2 organization sources.
Indexing pipeline extensions provide great flexibility to process items, but since executing a script for each item of a source can notably increase indexing time, they should be used as a last resort when other available indexing customization tools do not allow to perform the specific task (see Indexing Pipeline Customization Tools Overview).
What Are Possible Extension Script Purposes?
What Is the Extension Script Environment?
From the Coveo Cloud V2 administration console, create an extension to host your script (see Add or Edit an Indexing Pipeline Extension).
Test your indexing pipeline extension (see Indexing Pipeline Extension Testing Strategies and Good Practices).
What you validate depends entirely on what the script does. Verify that the extension performed as expected for all applicable items.
When possible, use the Coveo Labs pipeline-extension-manager Chrome extension to test your extension (see Coveo extension manager).
Create and use a temporary source with a small number of representative items of your production source to test your extension.
Use logs in your script while debugging (see Logging Messages from an Indexing Pipeline Extension).
Apply your extension to your production source (see Applying an Extension to a Source).
Rebuild your source (see Refresh, Rescan or Rebuild Sources).
Validate that your extension processed the source items as expected.
Verify that the extension performed as expected for all applicable items of your production source.
Get the metadata value and data streams from any indexing pipeline stage using the origin attribute (identified by the stage or extension name).
Reject items (exclude them from the index).
Runs in a separate non-persistent isolated OS instance for each item.
Can import common Python libraries (such as Requests) available in the OS instance (see Python Modules Available to Indexing Pipeline Extensions).
Can read and write to the local folder, but without persistence between extension instances for each source item.
The following table provides some criteria indicating when each indexing pipeline stage is more appropriate. In doubt, favor adding your extensions as postconversion stage.
The script purpose is to reject items, and consequently prevent wasting resources on further indexing pipeline stages.
You want to create separate sources for the oldest and newest items of a repository. In the source for the newest items, you add a script that rejects items with a last modification date older than your splitting date.
The script modifies the original Item data content and you want the Processing stage to process your changes.
Metadata added in the pre-conversion stage is not automatically mapped to a field with a matching name. You must add a mapping to the source(s) for which you want to leverage the metadata (see Manage Source Mappings).
The script needs to get the Body text or the Body HTML data stream processed by the Processing stage.
You want to ensure that your metadata changes will not be altered by another stage.
When more than one postconversion extensions are applied to a source, another extension could execute after.
When you want to create a script to discover all available metadata from all previous stages.
You can apply the same extension two times on a source (in pre- and post-conversion).
Most common indexing pipeline extension applications only modify the item metadata and typically execute within significantly less than a second. An extension can take significantly longer when getting and processing items Body text or when calling an external service to process the items, particularly for large items. The extension execution can also have a significant impact on the crawling performance for sources containing a large number of items.
You can review your extension and other usage limits by clicking the Settings icon in the upper-right corner of the administration console (see Content Limits).
Contact Coveo Support if you would like to upgrade your Coveo Cloud license with an increased number of extension limit.

OPPO offshoot Realme had a great debut in 2018, with smartphones that undercut even those by Xiaomi in India. The company is yet to open an account in 2019 but it seems a new product might just be around the corner. Teasers of a mystery Realme smartphone were spotted on a new Flipkart page today dedicated to the upcoming smartphone. While the exact product name is not known yet, it is dubbed as "Entertainment Ka Boss".
The teaser does have silhouettes of a smartphone in the background with a notch. The current tagline for the handset hints that there will be some entertainment-focused features onboard the upcoming device. Also, it seems the handset will feature a big battery, a good amount of storage for media files, and great gaming capabilities. That said, this is a very cryptic teaser and we will have to wait a bit more to find out more about the upcoming handset.
As per our sources, Realme is gearing up to launch two new variants of its budget C1 smartphone. It was earlier reported that two variants of the Realme C1 with 2GB RAM, 32GB storage and 3GB RAM, 32GB storage were in store to launch sometime in 2019. It could be very much possible that it is indeed the two C1 variants which have been teased by Realme on Flipkart.
As far as previous reports and rumours are concerned, talk about a budget Realme A1 have been making the rounds while a flagship Realme 3 launch is also almost certain. Realme A1 is expected to be a handset sitting below the Realme U1 in the company's portfolio. In terms of specs, the Realme A1 could rock a new Helio P70 chipset with options of 2GB/3GB RAM and 32GB of storage. It's also said that the device will have a 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual rear camera setup and a beefy 4200mAh battery.


I love red lipstick, this is one of my favourites - Lancome shade no. 118. It starts off with the lipstick, then the rest of the outfit falls into place.
I've seen that parka. And those shoes are so cute!

HIKARIDO came to life through the initiative of Aldo Bloise, a veteran photographer who has been practicing photography for more than 20 years. Trained in graphic arts in Geneva, he followed a traditional approach to photography until very late, preferring black and white film grain over the first digital cameras.
Later on, after shooting more than 15'000 negatives, three quarters of them in Japan, a country whose unique light fascinates him, Aldo Bloise started working with digital photography thanks to his in-depth knowledge of digital editing software.
Aldo Bloise has produced several personal exhibitions, including "Kawaii Nostalgica", "Iro, Iro, Iro" and "Metropolitizen" in Switzerland. He will exhibit again his work in Fukuoka and Tokyo in 2015.
His passion for images and stories hidden in daily life, as well as his desire to share them with others, have driven him to develop this original approach with fellow photographers, artists and graphic designers.
HIKARIDO is an integral part of PHOTOSGRAPHIA, a collective structure bringing together various creative processes, in addition to photography, and that has stemmed from Japan to expand to several countries and cultures.

When Perry was little we were big followers of the Baby Wise book and methods. Everyone has their advice and opinions, but Baby Wise came highly recommended by bunches of friends and it worked really well for us. One of the many take home messages we took to heart was to be mindful in the bedtime routine you establish for your child. I remember the book saying something to the effect of "it is great to cuddle and rock and sing and read to your children, but do those things all through the day when your child is awake...but when it is time for bed don't let them become reliant on some complicated and long routine to be able to go to sleep." Or something to that effect, in much more eloquent words.
We never sat down and created a plan for bedtime, it kind of just evolved as most good traditions do. Our friend Kristen bought Perry this little goodnight book right after he was born callled Good night, my love by Sandra Magsamen.
The words are just a sweet and simple bedtime poem. We started reading it to Perry as we put him to bed every night as we wrapped him in his miracle blanket and tuck him into the bassinet beside our bed. Before long we had the whole (short) thing memorized and no longer needed to pull the book from the shelf.
I love, love, love you - nighty night."
And thats it. We give him a kiss and walk away. Every once in a while P doesn't want to go to sleep right away (and will talk to himself or cry just a little bit), but most nights he goes straight to sleep. We are not disillusioned to think that the poem, or our routine, or even Baby Wise has created a child that goes to and stays asleep really well - but wanted to share our routine and poem for Perry to look back on one day and know what his early bedtimes were like.
We love, love, love you Pear Bear!

Miami in 2030 will be home to a variety of high rises, new developments, and creative retrofits.
Many people who seek a new address in Miami were born outside the US.
New, luxury residences in the Miami area will not come cheaply.
With all the building going on in Miami at present, it's likely that the skyline will be impacted visually by projects large and small. And that new neighbors will likely be fluent in a variety of languages. The plethora of projects on the books, and studies that show that South Florida is a hot destination for foreign property-seekers, goes to show that people know a good thing– when they see other people with it. Just last month, a Chinese partnership bought up a rare sliver of beachfront property in Miami Beach, seeking to place either a luxury hotel or apartments there.

Franz Stock fue un sacerdote católico conocido por ayudar a los prisioneros franceses en la represión nazi en París. Nació el 21 de septiembre de 1904 en Neheim-Hüsten, Renania del Norte-Westfalia y murió el 24 de febrero de 1948 en París.

Trayectoria
Nacido en una familia de clase trabajadora, estudió filosofía y teología en Paderborn. En 1926 participó en el Congreso democrático internacional por la Paz, en un contexto de belicismo y de ascenso de los regímenes autoritarios. En 1932 fue ordenado sacerdote.

En 1934 es nombrado rector de la misión católica alemana en París, pero con el estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial debe volver a Alemania.

Después de la ocupación alemana de Francia regresa a París. Preocupado por la represión nazi, comenzó a visitar las cárceles de Fresnes, La Santé y Cherche Midi. Se le encomienda la misión de atender a los condenados a muerte por lo que es de los pocos que no están integrados en el aparato militar nazi que se mueve con cierta libertad en las cárceles donde se congregaban los represaliados por la ocupación. Comienzan así una labor de asistencia clandestina a los presos y de puesta en contacto con sus familiares y amigos arriesgando su propia vida; filtra información, incluso memorizando mensajes, que impiden nuevos actos de represión y evita nuevas detenciones y torturas. Prepara los testimonios en los juicios que consiguen atenuar las penas.

Cuando las fuerzas estadounidenses liberan París en 1944, es detenido en el hospital de la Pieté y hecho prisionero de guerra. De esta forma, comienza un labor de atención a los prisioneros alemanes. Llega a organizar un seminario en el campo de prisioneros cerca de Orleans.

En 1947 es nombrado doctor honoris causa por la Universidad de Friburgo. Muere de improviso en 1948. Debido a que, técnicamente, aún era un prisionero de guerra, su muerte pasó desapercibida. El oficiante de su funeral fue el Nuncio en París, Angelo Roncalli, más tarde Papa Juan XXIII. Solo unas 12 personas acompañaron su cuerpo hasta el cementerio de Thiais en París.

El 14 de noviembre de 2009 se abrió el proceso de beatificación de Stock en la iglesia de San Juan Bautista en Arnsberg-Neheim, su lugar de nacimiento. Fue bautizado en esta iglesia y allí celebró su primera Misa. Muchos miembros de la congregación y muchos de sus antiguos compañeros participaron en el servicio. La ceremonia estuvo presidida por el actual arzobispo de Paderborn, Hans-Joseph Becker. Con este paso, Stock podría ser referido como un Siervo de Dios dentro de la Iglesia Católica.

Punch-Drunk Love (2002, PT Anderson)
December 24, 2016 by Brandon·Comments Off on Punch-Drunk Love (2002, PT Anderson)
Rewatched on the fancy new blu-ray. I'm not this movie's biggest fan (some of my favorite film critics revere it) but its depiction of two socially awkward people in love is pretty delightful to watch, and feels more true than your Silver Linings Playbook and other recent attempts. The plot reads like a total Little Miss Sunshine quirk-fest (man finds harmonium on the street, gets robbed and stalked by phone sex operators, buys thousands of puddings in order to make a big romantic gesture) but in practice it never seems lame or trite. This time around I appreciated how the music gets weirder, pinging and scratching, according to Sandler's frame of mind.
A. Cook:
There is an attractive spontaneity here that is largely absent elsewhere. More importantly it is the first, and perhaps only, Anderson film that feels wholly his. It is much harder to pick out the filmic references this time around. No doubt both Boogie Nights and Magnolia were intense labours of love but this film shows Anderson free from the shackles of Scorsese, Altman and his other inspirations and free from audience and critical expectation.
Moneyball (2011, Bennett Miller)
April 23, 2016 by Brandon·Comments Off on Moneyball (2011, Bennett Miller)
A baseball movie perversely set in quiet, underlit offices and locker rooms (Mom: "Can you make the TV brighter?"). 2002 Oakland A's manager Brad Pitt becomes impressed with nerdy Jonah Hill's stats theories, hires him to create a low-budget team of effective/undervalued players. Strange idea for an underdog sports movie, because their ideas don't actually work. Pitt can't get coach Philip Seymour Hoffman to play the roster that Hill intended to maximize wins, so Pitt trades away Hoffman's favorite players to force the issue… and they set a league winning streak and make the postseason, but the year still ends disappointingly. Meanwhile we get backstory of Pitt's unimpressive early career as a player and his current home life (ex-wife Robin Wright and a daughter he'll be able to see less often if he takes a different job) and a side plot with no payoff feat. Chris Pratt as a washed-up catcher turned fledgeling first baseman. But it's got appealing actors and an Aaron Sorkin script, so it's mostly a good time (memorable scene: Jonah Hill having to inform a player twice his size that he's been traded) – and it made me care enough about Pitt's Billy Beane to look up the real guy (still with the A's through 2019).
Pitt makes most key decisions while driving:
Film Quarterly wrote a joint article about this and Margin Call, which made me realize that these two Autumn 2011-opening financial films with rhyming titles are the reason I still get Bennett Miller and JC Chandor confused.
Catching Fire (2013, Francis Lawrence)
December 19, 2013 by Brandon·Comments Off on Catching Fire (2013, Francis Lawrence)
Lawrence (who made Water For Elephants and the music video for Gone Till November) turns in a much better Hunger Games movie than the last guy did. This movie will, of course, be best remembered for bringing together both mid-2000's Truman Capotes: Philip Seymour Hoffman and Toby Jones. New additions to the movie's revolutionary team include Jeffrey Wright (also in Only Lovers Left Alive this year) and Sam Claflin (Snow White and the Huntsman).
The Master (2012, P.T. Anderson)
November 14, 2012 by Brandon·Comments Off on The Master (2012, P.T. Anderson)
Long-awaited follow-up to There Will Be Blood has a similar episodic construction – power-hungry man meets someone equally strong-willed but very different, feels he needs to conquer the other man in order to progress. This one doesn't come together as well, possibly because Philip Seymour Hoffman's emerging religion is supposed to be similar to Scientology but with hardly any concrete details – the movie dances around its own (and its characters') intentions.
Joaquin Phoenix is a burn-out ex-navy drifter singularly talented at making harsh alcoholic concoctions from whatever chemicals are around. He and Hoffman are the stars here – the Sunday and Plainview of this movie – and the other actors are almost incidental. Hoffman has a devoted wife (The Muppets star Amy Adams) and a frighteningly lookalike son (Jesse Plemons). Laura Dern has a small role as the family's host, and later, the only believer to question Hoffman's shifting rules (drawing rage instead of a reasoned explanation).
The movie is long and sprawling, and has plenty of uniquely wonderful shots. It seems disappointing compared to its predecessor – a movie less explicitly about religion which comes across as more spiritual and insightful.
Slant:
The Master drifts for long expanses, like the wanderer at the heart of the film, running on only the fumes of drama and action… [Phoenix] seems perpetually out of synch with dynamics of the group to which he belongs, and his apparent disinterest in the details of the religion he embraces is probably the best case for the film's own detachment from the same—a line of reasoning one can accept abstractly without deeming it a virtue.
The Boat That Rocked (2009, Richard Curtis)
August 22, 2009 by Brandon·Comments Off on The Boat That Rocked (2009, Richard Curtis)
A movie about the perfect 1960's, where nothing bad happens. Less realistic even than Love Actually and yet based on the mildly-true story of the pirate-radio boats that served London the hottest rock records which the BBC was too uptight to play. The uptight BBC is represented by villainous bureaucrat Kenneth Branagh (and villain-in-training Jack Davenport, who is given a missed opportunity for redemption at the end).
The boat is populated by a bunch of DJs and a mixed-up naive kid designed to lead us through all this anarchy (as if we needed him). From left to right:
Captain Bill Nighy
Rhys Darby of Flight of the Conchords
I think that's Tom Wisdom of 300
Thick Kevin
some dude with about two lines
stoned Bob (secretly our kid's missing father): Ralph Brown of Withnail & I, Alien 3
possibly Philip Seymour Hoffman (head missing)
And dramatically featuring: Rhys Ifans! Of Elizabeth 2! He shows up and brings faux-discord to the ship. Oh, and Emma Thompson has a scene as the kid's mom. Most impressive was the inclusion of sixty classic rock songs, which must've accounted for half the film's budget. Thought it was pretty good, light, funny. Katy was disappointed that it wasn't Julie and Julia, and called it a boy movie.
Synecdoche, New York (2008, Charlie Kaufman)
November 28, 2008 by Brandon·Comments Off on Synecdoche, New York (2008, Charlie Kaufman)
This demands to be seen two or three times in order to piece together all the meanings and layers and characters. Unfortunately, with Milk and Ashes of Time in theaters, I don't really feel like watching this again…
Charlie Kaufman directs his own script, presumably to have total control over his most complex scenario yet. Anyone would have to say he does a fine job with it, using effects and sets and makeup very well, and getting super performances out of his actors – anyone who hadn't seen the Jonze and Gondry adaptations of Kaufman's previous scripts, that is. Adaptation, Malkovich, Human Nature and Eternal Sunshine all had their share of the sad, dark grunginess that pervades this movie, but they also had amazing visual stylists as directors, who could add delirious highs to all those Kaufman-depressive lows through their staging and casting (note that the more successful films, Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine, put comedy actors in the dramatic roles). Synecdoche ends up being a movie I enjoy discussing with Katy, an admirable film, but not something I feel I can love.
Phil Hoffman is Caden, a Schenectady theater director – yes, Kaufman is doing it again. After screenwriting a movie about a screenwriter, he's directing a movie about a director. Anyhow, Hoffman is married to Catherine Keener, a more ambitious artist than himself. Friend/nanny(?) Jennifer Jason Leigh is Maria, who watches over their young daughter Olive. Keener leaves Caden, takes the kid and moves to Berlin, which prompts a psychic break in Caden, so when he wins a grant to produce a play in NYC, he makes it a SYNECDOCHE (noun, the part which stands in for the whole) for his life. Eventually, as the play-Caden starts to produce his own play with its own play-Caden, Caden's life may be becoming a synecdoche for the play! I think!
Anyhow, play-Caden is an interesting guy named Sammy (Tom Noonan). Emily Watson and Samantha Morton, two actresses I've admired who I always thought looked similar, finally appear in a movie together playing the same-ish role… bravo for that. Morton is Hazel, a girl who has long had a crush on Hoffman, and Watson is the girl hired to play Hazel. Hazel does get to be with Caden for one day before dying of smoke inhalation in her long-burning house. Hope Davis plays an unhelpful family therapist. And Dianne Wiest (do I only know her from Edward Scissorhands?) is hired as Caden at the end, and told to "direct" the real Caden, which she does, to his death.
Meanwhile there's stuff about Caden's daughter growing up in Berlin, falling in love with Maria and dying of a skin disease, never forgiving Caden for ruining his marriage with his secret gay life (not otherwise referenced, as far as I know – unless Caden "being" Dianne Wiest is a reference). Sammy commits suicide (referencing an attempted-suicide of Caden). There's lots, lots more that I'm sure I have forgotten.
Kaufman's real strength here are his collapsing of time, and strangely simultaneous expanding of time (see the burning house) – more haunting than his collapsing/expanding of reality – and all the philosophy on human existence he crams into such a short movie. I'm sure he's aware that there's no warmth in his movie, but is he aware that we would've liked some?

Mission Impossible III (2006, JJ Abrams)
May 16, 2006 by Brandon·Comments Off on Mission Impossible III (2006, JJ Abrams)
Putting aside all the Tom Cruisey shenanigans and South Park sketches, he's a really good actor for this type of movie. Fun fake faces, costumes, cars and brain bombs. The action scenes make my eyes hurt, and it's all action scenes.
Billy Crudup, looking not so familiar, was the inside man and Phil Hoffman was an endearing psycho killer. Everyone else did whatever, and probably did a fine job of it. I was all caught up in the tension of the thing and the wild missions… thrilling. Took exception to the happy-sappy final scene, where all survivors (TC, wife, three teammates, commander L Fishburne and the comic-relief tech guy) laugh and cheer, the camera taking turns showing them smile in close-up. But later read a fine explanation of how Cruise maybe got brain-bombed or never woke up from eating a live electric cord, and the ending is a dying fantasy. Katy had a point in the action scenes having way too many cuts, but that's nothing new.
