Joe Alwyn as Billy Lynn in Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
Ang Lee, the three-time Oscar-winning film director, did his best to lower expectations. "It's kind of an experimental movie," he said at the Friday night premiere of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk at the New York Film Festival. His latest project, a $40 million drama starring Kristen Stewart, Steve Martin, and Vin Diesel, is the first ever to be shot in super-high-resolution 3-D at 120 frames per second. Lee knew its novel look—unrelenting clarity, abundant blooms of fine detail—might come off as more disturbing than impressive. "This is not just a new technology, but a new habit in watching movies," he warned the crowd. "I hope you keep an open mind."

This was, perhaps, too much to ask. From the film's opening image—Billy Lynn in bed, looking like a 3-D printout of a human being with a hangover—I could feel the spring-loaded trapdoors of my mind snapping shut. The scene looked queer, uncinematic, like a theater sketch acted out in virtual reality. Others in the audience also found themselves distracted or unnerved by the movie's high-res format. "I'm sorry. I tried to keep an open mind," tweeted film critic Bilge Ebiri after the screening. "But High Frame Rate is a fucking crime against cinema."
Ang Lee is not the first director to stand accused of this particular crime. In 2012, Peter Jackson released the first of his Hobbit films in 48 frames-per-second format—not nearly as souped-up as Billy Lynn's 120 fps, but still twice the standard 24 fps. Then, as now, critics were dismissive of the high-frame-rate (HFR) effect. It looked like a teleplay, they said, or tatty summer-stock. When Jackson used the format for his second and third Hobbit films, he added lens filters and post-production work to relax and blur the imagery, hoping it wouldn't look so painfully precise.
A few of us were inclined to take a softer view of his experiment. (I rated Jackson's foray a stumbling success.) It was easy to imagine, back then, that The Hobbit simply suffered from a mismatch between frame rate and genre. Maybe the HFR would have been compelling had its razor clarity not carved away the artifice of Middle Earth, exposing the corny sets and props. Perhaps the format would be better-suited to a movie in a more steely, realist mode—one in which the sharpness added authenticity instead of making things look artificial. Now we have just such a film, an understated depiction of a young soldier with traumatic memories of his deployment in Iraq.* And yet, high-frame-rate cinema still looks unnatural and off-putting.
For a certain kind of cinematic futurist—a guy like Peter Jackson, Ang Lee, or James Cameron (who plans to use HFR for his Avatar sequels)—this rejection of fantastic, futuristic technology seems bizarre. High-frame-rate cinema isn't meant to be a gimmick, something pasted on for added thrills. It's supposed to be a cleaner and more honest record of the action in a scene, with the ugly artifacts of motion blur removed. As the press notes for Billy Lynn point out, by shooting in the unprecedented HFR/4K/3-D format, Lee's production stored 40 times more data than a standard film: five times as many frames per second, four times as many pixels in each frame, and then everything doubled for 3-D. How could all this extra information fail to make the movie better?
For decades now, forward-looking filmmakers have tried to prove that when it comes to frame rates, more is really more. Douglas Trumbull, who did the visual effects for 2001 and Blade Runner, has advocated for higher frame rates since the 1970s. By eliminating flicker, he argued all those years ago, filmmakers could produce a smoother picture—a sort of "liquid realism" that would be more affecting and engaging. According to an essay on high-frame-rate cinema by film scholar Julie Turnock of the University of Illinois, Trumbull tested out his theory by measuring the brain waves, pulse, and skin conductance of people as they watched movies with different frame rates. All three measures would increase, he claimed, as he raised the rate to 60 fps.
In the past few years, visual psychologists have taken up this line of research, confirming time and again that Trumbull had it right: Higher frame rates do produce more compelling imagery, at least insofar as one can measure such things in the lab. (Trumbull, for his part, is still working on HFR at his farm in rural Massachusetts.) A Japanese researcher, who published his work several months before the release of The Hobbit, found that people were better at perceiving depth cues in high-frame-rate 3-D films, where the moving images appeared more "natural." Two years later, a team of Canadian researchers published an experiment in which they showed 3-D movies to volunteers at different frame rates, then asked them to rate the movies' quality on a scale of 1 to 100. The HFR videos got the highest ratings by far, scoring 55 percent higher than standard clips.
The most effective scenes in Billy Lynn are the ones that seem the least movielike.
These two studies, and several others like them, show that people think HFR clips are pretty snazzy. But they don't have much to say about whether anyone actually prefers them. (An experimental subject might conclude, for example, that HFR is at once "natural," "high quality" and "a fucking crime against cinema.") Another vision researcher, Laurie Wilcox of York University, has recently addressed the latter question. In her study, titled "Evidence that Viewers Prefer Higher Frame-Rate Film," viewers rated short movies on four technical attributes (realism, clarity, depth quality, and smoothness of motion) as well as on their overall likability. On every measure, including the all-important last one, her subjects said the HFR clips were superior. That preference has been remarkably consistent across her work, she says, and it applies to both 2-D and 3-D content.
In other words, HFR appears to be the New Coke of cinema—a product people claim to love in taste tests but which no one enjoys in real-world settings. This disparity—what one group of sociologists calls "The Hobbit hyperreality paradox"—has no simple explanation. If HFR looks so damn good, then why don't we like it in the theater?
It could be that the lab tests, in which people watch very short video clips, don't get at how it feels to watch a full-length film. In the same way a soda "sip test" won't tell you all that much about a person's taste in soft drinks, a movie "clip test" might not predict her feelings at the multiplex. Maybe all the extra information you get from HFR goes down smoothly in small doses, while over time its richness overwhelms the senses. My own experience suggests the opposite: At screenings of both The Hobbit and Billy Lynn, the freaky newness of the format proved least palatable at the start, with the off-notes fading as the film went on. (Though they never really went away.)
Perhaps the scaffolding of Hollywood cinema is more to blame. Film clips used in high-frame-rate lab research tend to be artless and straightforward—documentary shots of trees or abstract animations. The frame rate could be a turnoff only when it's mixed with the grammar used for telling stories on the screen. Montages, tilts, and focus pulls provide a structure for a movie; they work like punctuation marks on a printed page, barely noticed guides for your attention. In Billy Lynn, the HFR makes those guides pop out. Panning shots no longer blur the background with their motion; cuts seem extra jagged. As a viewer, it felt like reading a book in which all the commas and periods had been put in bold and underlined.
Or maybe the issue is the content rather than the structure. The sets and props in Billy Lynn are as troublesome as they were for The Hobbit, though for opposite reasons. In Jackson's film, Gandalf's staff and Thorin's axe looked too fake, like low-end gear for LARPing. In Billy Lynn, a film that's set for the most part inside a football stadium, the props at times seemed too real. When Billy's unit gets invited to a lush buffet inside the owner's box, the limpid, high-res food—glistening kielbasas, ripe chunks of cantaloupe—disrupts and dominates the scene. You can't take your eyes off of those kielbasas! The actors, too, are more exposed in HFR. Just as high-definition cameras revealed the use of heavy powder and foundation, so do higher frame-rates spotlight an actor's put-on smile. I couldn't tell if the performances in Billy Lynn were wooden, or if they'd been made to look that way when viewed at finer grain.
In the early 1980s, Trumbull suggested the changeover to high-frame-rate cinema would be so significant as to require the development of new techniques of filmmaking. Directors would have to play scenes differently, he said, with over-the-shoulder shots minimized and "the angles, the timing, and the looks of the characters" adapted to suit the new format. Peter Jackson made no such effort, as far as I could tell. In Billy Lynn, though, Ang Lee does try to adapt to the new medium. He lets the camera linger in Billy's point of view, with other characters talking straight into the lens. It's a nod to the first-person shooter, a mode of digital entertainment where higher frame rates—60 fps, to be specific—have become de rigueur.
But the reference to videogames only makes the weirdness problem worse. We're used to seeing films at 24 fps; we're used to watching telecasts at 30 fps; we're used to playing Call of Duty at 60 fps. These distinctions are mostly accidents of history, yet they've come to stand in for a hierarchy of artistic production. As Julie Turnock points out in her essay, not all forms of moving pictures have the same prestige; some are deemed more sophisticated than the others. So a movie shot in HFR suffers from its likeness to less vaunted forms of entertainment: soap operas, sporting events, video games. For all its clarity and definition, high-frame-rate cinema comes off as déclassé. In the end, what's most troubling about HFR is not the way it looks—I mean, come on, it looks fantastic—but what that look connotes. And Billy Lynn connotes, more than anything else, a high-end game.
Indeed, the most effective scenes in Billy Lynn—I mean, the ones that look the best in superdeluxe HFR/4K/3-D—are those that seem the least movielike. First, a glimpse of action on the football field, just enough to advertise the format for showing live sports events. (Trust me, high-frame-rate 3-D sports will be extraordinary.) Second, Billy tussling, Call of Duty–style, with a soldier in a broken sewage pipe, hinting at a brighter future for virtual reality.
Most exciting is the way Lee modulates the frame rate from one scene to the next. At certain points he revs the footage up to 120 fps, while at others the movie slides toward more familiar speeds. Lee saves the most intense, hyperreal effects for Billy's wartime flashbacks, where the format works to sharpen the emotion. These are Billy's post-traumatic visions, the result of too much information stored inside his head, and the movie shows them as they seem to him—overly graphic, drenched in violent clarity, bleeding out minutiae. If there's any future for HFR in Hollywood, this must be it—not as a hardware upgrade on the endless path to total cinema, but as a tool that can be torqued to fill a need.
And after we buy those new TVs we turn OFF the motion smoothing as soon as possible so that movies don't all look like soap operas. More…
As of now, only two theaters in the country are scheduled to project Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk in its native 120 fps. Even there it won't do much to advance the cause of its technology—it just looks and feels too different from every other movie we've seen in the multiplex. But Ang Lee is right: The aversion to HFR has as much to do with habit as aesthetics, and habits change more quickly than we think. In recent years we've seen a wholesale shift from celluloid to video, and a 3-D fad that never went away. Frame-rate standards, too, are starting to evolve. We now shoot TV shows at 24 fps to make them look more like movies, and we buy TVs that "motion smooth" our movies up to 120 fps. Will HFR/4K/3-D ever go mainstream? Our next chance to evaluate the format may not come until Christmas of next year, when Avatar 2 is scheduled for release. In the meantime, I'll try to keep an open mind.
*Correction, Oct. 21, 2016: This article originally misidentified the title character in Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk as a Marine. He is a soldier. (Return.)

No. 8 by John Lawson at Crown Melbourne Restaurant Review Blog
No. 8 by John Lawson at Crown Melbourne
Posted on Thursday, 6th February 2014
No. 8 by John Lawson is an upmarket restaurant offering modern Australian cooking using prime local ingredients in an urban setting. The restaurant is located in the Crown Melbourne, a multi-entertainment complex with a hotel, a casino, bars and a plethora of dining options including Nobu and Rockpool Bar & Grill by Neil Perry.
As the name suggests, the Executive Chef of No. 8 is John Lawson. Essex born, Chef Lawson has worked in some notable restaurants including the two Michelin starred Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons, Aurora in London's five star Great Eastern Hotel and Daniel Boulud's three Michelin starred fine dining restaurant, Daniel. Chef Lawson was also part of the opening team for Gordon Ramsay's New York venture at The London and was the Executive Chef at Maze Melbourne before it closed.
Our first starter was a foie gras and chicken liver parfait with sweet mulberries and toasted sourdough ($24 – about £12.90). It was beautifully creamy and flavoursome with the mulberries working well with the parfait. The bread was good, but some buttery brioche might have worked better than the sourdough.
Two generous pieces of Portland black and blue tuna (£22 – about £11.80) had been gently seared and were thick, meaty and tasty. Accompanying the tuna was some black garlic, yuzu jam and aged soy which were pleasant. There were also slices of daikon (radish) for a touch of tang and some almond mushrooms, so called as they tasted like mushrooms soaked in amaretto. These added an interesting touch to the dish.
Darling Downs strip loin 9+ 300gm (£110 – about £59) was intensely flavoursome and oozed with gorgeous fattiness. The loin had been cut quite thin and although delicious, a thicker cut would have provided a fully texture in the mouth. Alongside the steak was a fantastic piece of bone marrow which came with a well seasoned crumb topping.
No. 8 by John Lawson – Wagyu
The fish of the day was seared snapper ($36 – about £19.30) topped with powdered smoked egg and 'salt fingers' (a sea vegetable), and served with spinach and potatoes. The fish was nicely cooked with a crispy skin. But there was no sauce on the plate, and even though the fish was reasonably moist, the overarching result was one of dryness on the palate.
The bread was also worth a mention as it was gorgeous. Baked by artisan bakers EDS breads, the variety on offer was potato, rosemary and honey. It was super yummy with the softest and smoothest of textures. The accompanying seaweed butter was really tasty as well.
To desserts, and a neatly presented summer berry Eton Mess ($16 – about £8.60) consisted of nicely made pieces of blueberry meringue, a creamy berry custard and a mixture of deliciously sweet blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. The finishing touch was a tasty raspberry coulis which rounded off this tasty dessert nicely.
No. 8 by John Lawson – Eton Mess
A yoghurt and honey mousse ($20 – about £10.80) was wonderfully creamy with a gentle hint of honey running through it. The use of fresh lychees, blueberries and mango was really refreshing. But it was lychee and rosewater syrup and the use of rose petals that gave the dessert a lovely fragrance and a hypnotic quality. A third dessert of firm strawberries (£15 – about £8) with house clotted cream and a well made strawberry sorbet was also rather pleasant.
No. 8 by John Lawson – Honey mousse
The gorgeous desserts stole the show on this particular evening and demonstrated great skill in their preparation. The fish dish required some tweaking, but other than that we also enjoyed the savoury courses which proved what a solid performer No. 8 by John Lawson was. The service was convivial and relaxed as well to round of a rather pleasant experience.
Service rating: 4/5
Prices: $67 to $154 (about £36 to £81) for three courses, excludes drinks and service.

This was a perfect class to get back to my routine after some time away from my mat. Challenging but not so fast you can t get deep into the poses and breathe through it.


In its sell-side analysts' visit in regards to its coal operations last week, Glencore's head of coal marketing and assets, Tor Peterson and Peter Freyberg respectively, outlined the current state of Glencore's coal assets and its predictions for the market.
The miner outlined its current position as the top global exporter across its 22 operating coal mines, and in spite of recent government reports predicting pain ahead for coal, believed that "attractive long-term thermal coal market fundamentals remain in place based on economics and availability".
However, it did fall in to line in regards to the oversupply issue.
In its September quarter report, The Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics (BREE) said global commodity supply had grown significantly over recent years, placing pressure on prices in the medium term.
It said producers will need to continue to focus on managing costs and improving their competitiveness in order to survive downturn in the price cycle.
Coal prices are expected to remain 'subdued' for the rest of 2014 as demand remains sluggish coupled with an abundance in supply.
BREE said some coal operations are unprofitable at this level, and said cost-cutting in the form of mine closures or production slowdowns would become common.
Contract prices are expected to decline by 6 per cent to settle at US$77 a tonne. From 2016, the market balance is expected to tighten as import demand continues to increase and lower prices during 2014–2015 reduce investment in new capacity and force less competitive operations to close.
The contract price is projected to rise to US$86 a tonne (in 2014 dollar terms) by 2019.
Exports are forecast to increase by one per cent to 196 million tonnes in 2014-15 reflecting moderate production growth. The value of these exports is forecast to decline by 9 per cent to $15.1 billion.
However Glencore predicted a slightly brighter future ahead for thermal coal, projecting a growth rate of around five per cent per annum on the back of planned slowing of global supply, adding that a "lack of ongoing investment is helping to rebalance the market".
This view was espoused last month by fellow diversified miner Anglo American, as its CEO Mark Cutifani pointed to a steady reduction of supply globally from miners in an effort to induce a price recovery.
He explained that around 30 million tonnes of supply will need to be removed from the market to have an impact.
These statements were recently backed by AMP Capital senior economist Bob Cunneen, who stated at the recent HUG 2014 event that "there is more pain in coal ahead to ensure [the market remains] profitable".
With the proposals to dramatically slash coal consumption nationally China still needs energy and much of this energy will be produced by coal fired power station as demand, and industry, continues to grow.
According to the International Energy Agency coal will continue to dominate China's energy mix to 2035 and the growth in coal demand in China through to 2020 actually exceeds the growth in the rest of the world combined.
However it stressed that "thermal coal is more than a China story", pointing to the blooming of India as a new dominant market.
In July India, which is forecast to more than double its thermal coal imports by 2020, began running out of coal stock.
India already imports 20 per cent of its coal requirements and shipped in 152 million tonnes of coal last year.
However rising electricity demands are putting an increasing strain on local production, with state-run Coal India Limited (CIL) asked to up its output by importing more of the commodity to mix with domestic supply.
The demand for coal in India is expected to come in at 551.60 million mt in 2015, however supplies are predicted to amount to just 466.89 million mt, leaving an 84.71 million mt shortfall.
From 2010 to 2040, India's net coal-fired electricity generation is expected to grow by a total of 910 terawatt hours, more than doubling from the 2010 total, while coal consumption for electricity generation will double.
Professor John Rolfe from CQUniversity said India would look to Australia for a reliable supply of high quality coal products.
Rolfe said this was particularly good news for coal miners in Queensland where a host of new multi-billion dollar mines were awaiting development approval in the Galilee Basin.
According to Glencore, this new market will allow it to grow its thermal coal output.
However the forecast for coking coal is less rosy for the miner, with it predicting less than two per cent growth over the next three years.

The largest billfish trophy. It is not uncommon to see this huge fish (up to 1800 lbs.) heave itself skyward in a seemingly inexhaustible display of strength. At GRAY, we capture forever this awesome fighting power in your trophy.
Striped Marlin
This marlin family member is named due to its glowing vertical bands. Perhaps the most colorful of the billfish family, found only in Pacific waters,the Striped Marlin provides a memorable battle with much aerial display.
Sail Fish
This beautiful billfish has the largest dorsal fin, resembling a sail. This fish is noted for its fighting ability and often spends as much of the battle in the air as in the water. At GRAY, artists recapture the colorful blues and purples that you see as this ballerina of the sea dances across the ocean.
Spear Fish
Both the longnose Spear fish of the Atlantic Ocean and the shortnose Spearfish of the Pacific Ocean are rare to encounter. The shortnose are more ommon in Hawaii than anywhere else. The dorsal of the Spearfish is the brightest of all the billfish.
Rooster Fish
Rooster Fish Aptly
Name, this game fish has streamers on its dorsal that look much like the comb on a rooster's head. The Rooster Fish is a very hard fighting trophy and combined with its beautiful coloration and dark black stripes is easily identified.
(Mahi Mahi) (Dorado): Found in warm waters worldwide, the Dolphin is among the most colorful of the gamefish. It's hard fighting and gold-green and blue colors makes his fish most popular. At Gray we accentuate the difference between a cow or bull. The male has a very distinctive blunt head.
Wahoo (Ono)
Is a gamefish known for its long hard runs at speeds up to 45 mph. Because of the limited number of wahoo caught, it is truly a trophy fish. This trophy is also noted for its beautiful vertical stripes.
Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi)
This member of the tuna family, although not the largest, is among the world's hardest running fish. A long battle can be expected from this freight train. Gray tuna mounts display the long orange-yellow steamers and yellow finlets that make this trophy so beautiful.

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission is set to seize plots of land and buildings worth N4.8 billion from 30 companies operating in Nigeria including properties allegedly belonging toShehu Musa Yar'adua Foundation, Vanguard reports.
The move by the anti-graft agency to seize the property located in many parts of the Federal Capital Territory followed a complaint by the Federal Inland Revenue Service that the affected firms have been defaulting in the payment of prescribed taxes to the government despite several reminders.
In the course of the investigation, the alleged owners of the properties disclaimed ownership.
A statement by the Spokesperson of the ICPC, Mrs. Rasheedat A. Okoduwa, explained that the decision to seize the properties spread around Abuja, followed a petition to ICPC by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), accusing the companies of defaulting in tax payment to the tune of N288.2 million.
Section 37 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000 empowers ICPC to seize assets alleged to be subject of an offense under the law while Section 48 authorizes it to apply to a High Court for an order of forfeiture within 12 months of the date of seizure.

Falcons, Antone Smith Working On Injury Settlement
The Falcons are working on an injury settlement with running back Antone Smith, reports Zach Klein of WSB (ABC-TV) in Atlanta (via Twitter). If the sides can't come to an agreement, Smith will be placed on the injured reserve.
The former undrafted rookie out of Florida State has bounced around a bit since entering the league in 2009, spending time with the Lions, Vikings, Texans and Falcons. The 29-year-old has 29 career carries for 286 yards and four touchdowns. He also has 15 receptions for 232 yards and three scores.
The speedy back inked a one-year, $1.4MM deal with Atlanta back in March. He was expected to contribute this season with the Falcons, but a hamstring injury limited him throughout the preseason. In addition to Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman, the Falcons also have running backs Terron Ward and Jerome Smith under contract.

Promoting smart drinking water management in South Asian cities
Asia, home to half of the world's megacities, is seeing rapid urbanization with small and medium-sized cities growing at a faster rate than larger ones. Asia's urbanization is expected to continue to increase to 78% by 2050 which requires more efficient and effective ways of providing basic urban services, especially in the drinking water supply.
ADB, in partnership with the Government of Korea, aims to improve urban drinking water supply services in South Asia through the development of operational efficiency improvement plans and conduct of knowledge building programs on smart drinking water management. ADB taps the Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water) to introduce high-level technology and provide training programs on smart water management needed to help our South Asian developing member countries improve operational efficiency in urban water supply.

// AUTO-GENERATED DOCUMENTATION AND CLASS
/**
 * Settings class to configure an instance of {@link CompanyServiceStub}.
 *
 *
The default instance has everything set to sensible defaults:
 *
 *

 *
The default service address (jobs.googleapis.com) and default port (443) are used.
 *
Credentials are acquired automatically through Application Default Credentials.
 *
Retries are configured for idempotent methods but not for non-idempotent methods.
 *

 *
 *
The builder of this class is recursive, so contained classes are themselves builders. When
 * build() is called, the tree of builders is called to create the complete settings object. For
 * example, to set the total timeout of createCompany to 30 seconds:
 *
 *

 *
 * CompanyServiceStubSettings.Builder companyServiceSettingsBuilder =
 *     CompanyServiceStubSettings.newBuilder();
 * companyServiceSettingsBuilder.createCompanySettings().getRetrySettings().toBuilder()
 *     .setTotalTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30));
 * CompanyServiceStubSettings companyServiceSettings = companyServiceSettingsBuilder.build();
