50 000 Manitobans without power
On October 10th, after a horrendous snowstorm and the province of Manitoba declaring a state of emergency, over 50 000 Manitoban households were without power according to Manitoba Hydro. Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister made a statement shortly after the storm subsided, saying the province is working as quickly as possible to bring back power.To date, power has been restored to almost all houses, but the province is not out of the woods yet. When all that snow melts, we can expect massive flooding. Winnipeg has already closed their floodgates and a number of Indigenous communities have prepared to evacuate with the help of the Red Cross. You can see more about outages and alerts in the area here. [CBC][By David Walji]
It's what we've all been waiting for: the end of Fortnite. Or, at least, the end of a season. On Sunday, October 13, season 10 of one of the world's most played games ended with an explosion—literally. After the set end date was extended by a week, players were treated to an in-game destroyal of the entire map, and then nothing but a black hole. In the history of Fortnite, people were usually able to play the next season after the ending of the previous. In this case, however, the internet is left bewildered by the distinct nothingness left by season 10. Don't worry though, gamers, because season 11 is expected to start October 17.

The Nobel Prize winners of 2019 were announced October 7-14, and they certainly aren't undeserved. William Kaelin, Peter Ratcliffe and Gregg Semenza, winners of the award for physiology or medicine, made notable contributions in how cells react to oxygen availability. James Peebles, discoverer of theories in physical cosmology, shared half the physics award with Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, discoverers of exoplanet 51 Pegasi b, which orbits a sun-like star. John Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino won the prize in chemistry for their work in developing lithium-ion batteries, while Austrian novelist Peter Handke claimed the Nobel Prize in literature. The peace prize went to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, for his work in solving border conflicts between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Finally, the economic sciences award was received by Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer, for their efforts in reducing global poverty. Stay tuned for the award ceremony on December 10, where these accomplished individuals will receive their much earned Nobel Prizes. [Time][By Cynthia Wang]
Turkey has agreed to a five-day ceasefire of their ongoing offensive in Northern Syria, in order for Kurdish forces to withdraw from a Turkish-designated "safe zone" stretching 32 km deep into Syrian territory. The truce was announced following talks in Ankara that saw all major Turkish objectives be met, with the resulting agreement praised by current United States President Donald Trump as saving "millions of lives". The Kurdish militias are officially considered terrorists by Turkey, and would be obliged to surrender their heavy weapons and cede their positions within the safe zone before retreating. The Kurdish position is yet unclear, though U.S. Vice President Mike Pence has claimed that the Kurdish-led SDF had agreed to the terms of the ceasefire. The SDF was not invited to the talks.[Reuters] [By Xingming Xu]
9-13 Years in Prison
Nine leaders of the Catalan independence movement have been sentenced to between nine to thirteen years in prison for sedition in calling a banned independence referendum in 2017. The prison terms have outraged many Catalan citizens, as thousands of demonstrators marched in Barcelona squares. Pro-independence protestors have blocked streets and access to public transportation, as well as clash with police at Barcelona's airport. Once again, the Spanish police have resorted to gas and beating protesters with batons to disperse the crowds. The former Catalan president, Carles Puigdemont, remains in Belgium after escaping extradition to be sentenced with his compatriots.[BBC][By Xingming Xu]
1st Approved Ebola Vaccine
After being administered under emergency guidelines to over 270,000 people in Africa, the European Medicines Agency has finally recommended that the first Ebola vaccine be approved, declaring that licensing the vaccine is "an important step toward relieving the burden of this deadly disease". Ebola, a viral disease that causes severe hemorrhagic fever, has been wreaking havoc in Congo since an epidemic was first declared last August. Since then, there have been 3,113 confirmed cases and over 2,150 deaths. The vaccine was originally developed in Canada and is now marketed as Ervebo; Merck, the company that produces the vaccine, has stated that its current priority is to receive approval of its Ervebo manufacturing site in Germany. The manufacturing site will produce a supply of Ervebo vaccines that will support "global public health preparedness", according to Merck. Another vaccine is being developed by Johnson & Johnson for use in parts of the Congo where Ebola is not as active, but it has not been licensed yet.[CBC][By Janet Chen]
At least 78 Dead
The casualty numbers continue to climb as Typhoon Hagibis, one of the deadliest typhoons to hit Japan in the last decade, rampages across Japan. Since it touched down southwest of Tokyo on Saturday, 520,000 households have lost power due to the flooding, and those located in severely-flooded areas could remain without electricity for another week. The typhoon is predicted to become one of Japan's most costly natural disasters, with insured losses of about $9 billion USD according to investment firm Keefe, Bruyette, and Woods–but the consequences caused by Hagibis are more than just economic. The heavy rain from the typhoon caused 146 landslides, 128 ruptured levees, and 9,962 flooded houses. Fukushima Prefecture, which saw the highest number of casualties at 28 deaths, also saw 10 bags of irradiated soil from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster washed 25 kilometres northeast to Tamura, where they drifted amongst the storm debris.[CNN, The Japan Times][By Janet Chen]
0 – 0 but still a win
In the aftermath of the aforementioned typhoon, Japan received some much needed foreign aid from none other than Canada's very own Rugby World Cup team. After the team was unable to play against Namibia, they took to the streets to help clean up parts of the city. With athletes from B.C. to the East Coast, they all picked up shovels, started digging the mud out of the streets and went into houses of the elderly to help them dry their belongings. In rugby, since cancelled matches are counted as ties, the official score of their match is 0 – 0, however the players are counting this one as a win (even though the administration isn't) because of all the good work they were able to do.

1 hour, 59 minutes and 40.2 seconds
On October 12, Eliud Kipchoge became the first athlete to run a marathon in less than two hours, although it will not be considered a world record. Kipchoge, who is a Kenyan Olympic champion, took 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40.2 seconds to run 42.195 kilometres in Vienna, Austria at the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, an event set up for the attempt. The IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) will not ratify the time as a world record due to the abnormal assistance he was given. 36 pacemakers accompanied Kipchoge in alternating groups of 7, a timing car led him by projecting the ideal road position and running line with a laser beam, and he didn't have to slow down for drinks,as they were handed to him by a cyclist. Kipchoge currently holds the official world record of 2:01:39 since last year when he ran a milestone marathon in Berlin. [Toronto Star][By Serena Poonawalla]
American politician and civil rights leader Elijah Cummings has died at the age of 68. Cummings was a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Maryland's 7th district since 1996 which included half of the city of Baltimore. Cummings was the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee and led multiple investigations into Trump's dealings with Russia and probes related to Trump's family members serving in the White House. Earlier in the year, Trump assailed Cummings on Twitter and called Baltimore "a rodent infested mess" where "no humans would want to live". Before Congress, Cummings served for 14 years in the Maryland House of Delegates, rising through the ranks to become the first African American to be named Speaker pro tempore. Cummings died early Thursday morning at Gilchrist Hospice Care due to complications from long standing health challenges,signing subpoenas till the very end. [Wall Street Journal][By Umar Yousafzai]
1 giant leap for womankind
On October 18, Christina Koch and Jessica Meir made history when they floated out of the International Space Station to replace a faulty part of the power network. This was the world's first all-female team of spacewalkers and the first time in decades where a woman has floated out without a male crewmate. The event went viral on social media, garnering much support from organizations including Girl Scouts. Watching from mission control, former spacewalker Tracy Caldwell Dyson expressed her pride for this milestone and hopes this becomes a regular occurence in the future. These women have become an inspiration for all females and truly shown that the sky is not the limit.[CBC][By Anirudh Goel]
Election day may be on the 21st of October, but an estimated 4.7 million Canadians have already cast their votes in advance—an increase of more than a million. These 4.7 million Canadians represent more than a sixth of the eligible voters and predict that this year, there may be an even higher voter turnout than the 2015 record-high election. Although most students of Marc Garneau aren't able to vote, this indicates a more representative federal government for all. Personally, I'm glad to see the highest ever rates of young voters, though this may be crushing the Conservatives' dreams of a Conservative majority government. [CBC][By Catherine Zheng]

The FA must boycott the 2018 and 2022 World Cups
FIFA have re-elected Sepp Blatter for another term as President of the governing body responsible for the organisation of football's major international tournaments, including the World Cup. Despite the arrest of senior FIFA colleagues on major corruption charges, Blatter refused to stand down or withdraw from the presidential race and despite voting going to a second round, his only other contender for the top job has withdrawn.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron, said in Berlin on Thursday that the Fifa president should quit "the sooner the better" and Greg Dyke, the chairman of the English Football Association, told the BBC: "Sepp Blatter has run this organisation for 16 years, and for all of those 16 years, there have been levels of corruption. Sepp Blatter is not the man who is going to be able to change that."
SFA chief executive Stewart Regan says boycotting future World Cups is one of the options being considered by Uefa, Europe's governing body, should Blatter win (which he ultimately did). "There could, of course, be a rival body," Regan told BBC Scotland. "There could be threats of not participating in competitions. There are a number of options."
Swiss prosecutors have launched a separate investigation into the bidding process for the World Cup tournaments in 2018 in Russia and 2022 in Qatar. Many of Fifa's major sponsors, including Coca-Cola, Visa, Adidas, McDonald's, Hyundai Motor and Budweiser, have expressed concern over the investigations. After Mr Blatter was re-elected, Coca-Cola said in a statement that Fifa "must now seize the opportunity to begin winning back the trust it has lost".
I don't know whether a boycott is realistic or not, but if the UK is serious about standing up and doing what is right to remove this corrupt organisation away from the beautiful game then I say we should boycott the next two World Cups. However, another option is on the table as former culture minister David Lammy, who plans to run for London mayor in 2016, said Qatar was "not a fit venue" for the World Cup following the alleged corruption. He said: "I want to see David Cameron and [London Mayor] Boris Johnson saying this isn't OK and offering Britain as an alternative venue. "Let's put a serious offer on the table for the home of football – Britain – to host the 2022 World Cup."
I would only be open to Britain hosting the 2022 World Cup if Blatter is no longer at the helm of FIFA, either that or this country helps in the forming of a rival and corrupt-free football organisation to take the place of FIFA. With the US, Swiss and UK's SFO now either investigating or participating in criminal proceedings against the nine indicted FIFA officials, I hope it is only a matter of time before FIFA implodes, the sponsors pull out and the whole dreadful organisation collapses in a heap.
We all suspected that recent World Cup bids were tainted by bribes, but thanks to the bravery of 'supergrass' Chuck Blazer (a member of Fifa's executive committee until 2013 and now reportedly the source of some of the information allegedly implicating a host of other Fifa grandees) and the tenacity of Loretta Lynch, the US Attorney General, we football fans may now get some of the justice we richly deserve.
I won't be completely happy until Blatter is behind bars and the 2022 World Cup has been switched away from Qatar. I unfortunately admit that it is now too late to wrestle the 2018 cup away from Russia, but neither country should have been awarded this prestigious event due to their ban on 'gay propaganda' and laws making homosexuality illegal respectively.

Chitose
Chitose, city, west-central Hokkaido, northern Japan. It lies about 22 miles (35 km) southeast of Sapporo, on the railway to Tomakomai, which is about 12 miles (19 km) to the south.
Because of the extension of Sapporo and the growth of the commercial and industrial harbour of Tomakomai after World War I, Chitose grew rapidly. A Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force base was established in the city in 1962. A new international air terminal at Chitose, opened in the late 1980s, is one of Japan's larger airports and serves Sapporo. The city is a tourist centre for Shikotsu-Toya National Park, which is located just west of Chitose. Pop. (2005) 91,439; (2010) 93,604.

Black Markets: Transatlantic Architectures of Care
As part of the Lunchtime Seminar Series, the African Centre for Migration & Society invites you to a seminar titled Black markets: Transatlantic architectures of care by Huda Tayob (History & Theory Programme Convener, Graduate School of Architecture, University of Johannesburg).
South Africa has hosted a large number of refugees and asylum seekers since the end of apartheid in the early 1990s. In Cape Town, this led to a burgeoning of pan-African mixed-use markets, known as "Somali malls." These arcades have been constituted of multiple small shops, along with educational, religious, and social spaces, which primarily cater to Somalis and other East Africans. The majority of the stores within these markets have been owned and run by women. This ethnographic research and study of oral histories has shown that these seemingly local establishments have been elements in a wider global network of markets. These buildings have occupied urban margins, but performed the circulation of transnational spatial stories, spatial practices, people, and goods. This seminar traces the emergence and relationship between such markets in Cape Town, Minneapolis, and Nairobi, from the 1980s to the present. Huda Tayob argue that these markets produce spatial intimacy within contested realms, as well as networks of support and possibility within displacement contexts. They are entangled at multiple scales, at the level of individual stores and that of the market complex. Understanding Somali malls as transcontinental "black markets," with reference to AbdouMaliq Simone's "black urbanisms," draws out the local specificities of racialized urbanisms and locates these spaces within a broader landscape of forced migration, informal global trade and transnational networks of care established and maintained by female labour, thinking of "care" critically, with Miriam Ticktin. This talk is based on ethnographic research and oral histories around the establishment of these markets undertaken between 2014 – 2017 in Cape Town, 2018 in Nairobi, and 2015 and 2018 in Minneapolis—in the latter, supplementing research with a study of oral histories held in the Immigration History Research Centre Archives (University of Minnesota). It further traces the history of these ordinary and uncelebrated sites in local newspaper archives, noting responses to their emergence by publics and city governments, and draws on municipal records and planning documents where available to examine the processes of socioeconomic formalization, which have rendered these markets "informal" and therefore precarious, racialized spaces.
Huda Tayob is History & Theory Programme Convener at the Graduate School of Architecture, University of Johannesburg. She received a Master's degree in Architecture from the University of Cape Town and subsequently worked in architectural practice prior to completing a PhD at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL in 2018. Her doctoral research looked at the spatial practices of African migrants, immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Cape Town, with a particular focus on mixed-use markets established and run by these populations. She received a Commendation from the RIBA President's Medal Research Award committee for her PhD. Her wider academic interests include a focus on minor and subaltern architectures, the politics of invisibility in space, and the potential of literature to respond to archival silences in architectural research. Her recent publications include "Subaltern Architectures: Can Drawing 'tell' a Different Story" (Architecture and Culture, 2018) and "Architecture-by-migrants: The Porous Infrastructures of Bellville" (Anthropology Southern Africa, 2019).

Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said there is no damage on NITEL SAT- 3 and that services on that platform has not been disrupted.
The Commission also apologised to Nigerians whose businesses and personal lives have been adversely affected by the interruption and said it is closely monitoring the situation.
The Commission in a statement made available to THISDAY said: "The attention of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has been drawn to media reports on the 'disrupted services on Sat–3 Fibre Cable' and the various concerns expressed by users and members of the public who fear the impact such disruption could have on telecommunications services.
NCC however said: "There are confirmed reports of cable cut on the Cotonou link of the Sat–3 cable and this unfortunately has affected services in Nigeria for the reason that Suburban Telecoms, a Nigerian Service Provider, is connected to Sat-3 at the Cotonou end, from where it runs services into Nigeria.
NCC also explained that: "This is the reason the effect of this disruption has been noticed almost immediately in Nigeria because of the fairly huge usage the Suburban link commands through the Cotonou Sat-3 Fibre cable.
"Suburban has assured the Commission that efforts are being made to carry out immediate repairs. The company has informed the Commission that the Cotonou Sat-3 managers have been contacted by Suburban, and that they have made urgent international arrangements to fix the problem. Unfortunately, the ship coming to Cotonou to carry out the under-sea job will pass through Cape Town and that will take about two weeks.
"Meanwhile, efforts are being made by both Suburban and Cotonou operators to lease capacity from either Nitel or the operator in Ivory Coast. Such efforts are intended to give immediate relief to the customers.
"The NCC is monitoring the situation closely and is ready to make intervention that will favour the service users. This will include but not limited to encouraging the international cable operators to have an arrangement whereby if there is cable cut in one country, subscribers can be immediately switched to the cable infrastructure of a neighbouring country.
"This is similar to what happens in the Aviation industry where if one airline has a problem with its aircraft, its customers can immediately be endorsed to other airlines.


Tax Advantages: An investor investing in India must keep in mind the potential risks of investing in India. Remember Harshad Mehta? Ketan Parikh ? and, of course, the dot come bust in the year 2000. However, if you believe in the India Growth story or for that matter, any of the BRIC nations, one as an NRI, must invest in India because of the tax benefits. It is true that a number of ETFs and Funds can be purchased in the US to enable one to gain exposure to the Indian market but as an Indian you have special privileges that you may not be aware of. Indians can invest in the Indian Stock market directly or via Mutual funds and are not subject to long term capital gains tax. The Short Term Tax Rate is as low as 10%.
Double Advantage- As Indian stocks appreciate in value a rupee transferred a couple of years ago has itself appreciated by almost 10%. So stock market returns are compounded by the weakening of the dollar.
NRE Account / NRO Account: These are Non Resident Accounts that can be opened by an Indian, when the Indian has been away from India for a stipulated time. An NRE account, is an account where the money resides in rupees but the source of funds has to be external remittances only . This account allows complete repatriate of the investment proceeds provided the source of funds are from abroad. Investments can also be made from NRO accounts but NRO Accounts should be used for money that one does not intend to reparitate. Higher interest rates are offerred on NRO accounts. These accounts can be opened up with ICICI bank, HDFC Bank ,Citibank etc.
Sign up for Money Transfer Service. A number of money transfer services are available online that link your checking account in the US to your NRE/NRO accounts in India. Once all set up it is as convenient as clicking a button to transfer the funds to India.
Researching the funds - Funds can be researched at www.moneycontrol.com. In my experience, the website provides comprehensive fund detail and analysis to help make a decision.
Actually Investing. To my knowledge, the best way to do this is to download a pdf form from the mutual fund website , fill it up , provide the NRE/NRO bank account details and mail a cheque in to the various mutual fund service centers. Providing an email will help that you receive account statements by email.
I cam across this link on your website..
Have you or anybody used this? Any comments?
Non-Resident (External) Rupee (NRE). This is a Rupee account from which funds are freely repatriable. It can be opened with funds remitted from abroad.
Non-Resident Ordinary Rupee (NRO). This is a Rupee account and can be opened with funds generated in India. These funds are non-repatriable.


Several updates have been made to our OOPSIE Sandbox Beta, most of them related to user experience, such as "In App Help" guiding you through the creation of apps and sites. From the dashboard login page you can now request a new password and also verify your account if you missed the deadline sent to you by mail upon account creation.
Biggest feature is the introduction of template driven app creation, a feature that makes it possible to kick-start your project. You can use the application straight out-of-the-box or continue the design from the predefined and generated apps and resources. We've added som simple template apps so you get a feeling of how important this update will be for you. Soon really useful and more complex apps will be available. But, why not try out our Sensor Template (IoT) and see how easy it is to get all our "things" produce data and push it to a backend that can store your data almost to infinite. You are just a few lines of code from it, we can guarantee you that.
As some of you may have noticed the beta version doesn't allow you to preserve your data when upgrading your application models in a Site, that is really bad, isn't it? Well, as the beta OOPSIE Sandbox is we want it to evolve quickly and get out of this state. Continuous delivery makes it possible to upgrade OOPSIE without affecting your usage of the dashboard and site connections. So very soon, we are realeasing the OOPSIE Sandbox RC (release candidate) which will make it possible for real micro service management and to upgrade your site, and also preserve your data. So hang on there, you will soon get this feature, and the good thing is that you will still be able to use all the design and data you have been created and stored so far.
With OOPSIE your organisation can go Big Data with a few clicks and swipes!

Man to go on trial for murder of grandmother Patricia O'Connor
Patricia O'Connor

January 14 2020 16:38 PM
A man will go on trial for the murder of grandmother Patricia O'Connor, whose dismembered remains were later found scattered in the Wicklow mountains.
https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/man-to-go-on-trial-for-murder-of-grandmother-patricia-oconnor-38860998.html
https://www.herald.ie/news/4510b/35982859.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/2017-07-31_new_33323700_I1.JPG
Kieran Greene (34) is being tried alongside three people who are accused of impeding the investigation into Ms O'Connor's death in 2017.
Mr Greene and his co-accused entered not guilty pleas and a jury was sworn in at the Central Criminal Court today.
The jury panel was given a squeamishness warning that evidence would be given of the "disinterment and dismemberment of body parts of the deceased."
The trial is expected to last from five to seven weeks and is due to begin tomorrow.
Ms O'Connor, a retired hospital worker, (61) was allegedly murdered at Mountainview Park, Rathfarnham south Dublin on May 29 that year, with her remains found along the Military Road in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow on June 10.
Mr Greene, with an address at Mountainview Park, denies murder.
Ms O'Connor's daughter and granddaughter Louise (41) and Stephanie O'Connor (22), as well as Louise O'Connor's ex-partner, Keith Johnson (43) all deny impeding the murder investigation.
These charges allege that, knowing or believing that Kieran Greene committed an arrestable offence - the murder of Patrica O'Connor - the other three co-accused did act without reasonable excuse, with intent to impede his apprehension or prosecution.
It is alleged Louise O'Connor, at Mountainview Park on May 29, 2017, agreed to or acquiesced in Stephanie O'Connor disguising herself as Patricia O'Connor in order to conceal the fact that Patricia O'Connor was dead.
Keith Johnson is alleged to have assisted Kieran Greene in the purchase of various implements to deploy in the concealment of the remains of Patricia O'Connor. The charge alleges this was done at Woodies, Mr Price, B&Q and Shoezone in Tallaght on June 9, 2017.
A second count against Mr Johnson states that he engaged in the refurbishment of the bathroom at the house at Mountainview Park on a date unknown between May 31 and June 9, 2017, in order to destroy or conceal any evidence in relation to the murder of Patricia O'Connor.
It is alleged Stephanie O'Connor disguised herself as Patricia O'Connor at a point in time after her murder in order to conceal the fact that she was already dead.
Each accused stood in turn to be arraigned and replied "not guilty" when the charges were read out.
Mr Justice Michael White told the jury panel that it would a "lengthy trial" and warned them before selection that it would involve references to and evidence of "the disinterment and dismemberment of body parts of the deceased."
He said if any of them were of such a disposition that this would present a difficulty for them serving on a jury, they should let the court know.
Mr Greene, Louise and Stephanie O'Connor, both of Millmount Court, Dundrum, and Mr Johnson, from Avonbeg Gardens, Tallaght, will be tried before Mr Justice Paul McDermott and a jury of six women and six men.
Court hears murder accused told his partner: 'I'm sorry, I hurt your mam'
Andrew Phelan A daughter of Patricia O'Connor said her partner began crying and told her "I'm sorry, but I hurt your mam" before he went to tell gardaí he had killed and dismembered her.

I Draw on My Wall
and I like movies
Waves (2019)
November 27, 2019 November 26, 2019 ~ idrawonmywall
Directed by Trey Edward Shults
Not to make a terrible pun out of the title, but Waves really does feel like you're standing four feet into the ocean tide, with the water level rising and sinking in rapid succession. At times it flows so damn well, a free-flowing visual poem that washes soothingly around you. Other times it comes to a complete standstill with no forward momentum.
The film is broken into two halves that feel a little too disconnected. Within that, however, both halves have moments of strength, when the film works like a Terrence Malick film (someone for whom Shults worked for a time), with the camera observing these characters' lives like in a dream or a memory. It's a rapid succession of images and sound, the camera moving quickly from one place and time to another with no necessary explanation for where and when we are. It's pure emotion.
But then the film does get bogged down in plot, a rather melodramatic one even as it buries itself in tragedy. And together I don't think it mixes, like two perfectly fine ingredients that just don't make a good dish.
What I like about Terrence Malick's films, specifically his later ones, is how they actively resist plot. There needs to be no story, and the films are better for purposefully omitting all the connective tissue that typically stitches together a conventionally plotted movie. If anything, getting rid of any plot frees the film up to be about so much more, things you can't always put your finger on but things you may feel. It becomes an experience, just like a dream is an experience because you never quite know what you're going to see next.
But if you introduce plot to that equation I think it cannibalizes the impact of the visual poetry. You can have one or the other but not both, and I have a hard time figuring out why.
So Waves bounces back and forth between two different movies, even as it steps from one narrative to another. Either half/narrative of the film oscillates between the free-flowing visual poetry of a Malick film and the melodrama of, what I don't know, something else.
But if the film stumbles then it stumbles for the right reasons. There is so much on display here, from the film's overall style and clear influences to its ambition, the cinematography, the perhaps over-reliance on music, the acting, etc. It's all rather magnetic for the most part, even as it straddles moments that lose any momentum as we segue from a dreamlike moment to one that is burdened with pushing the story forward.
So it's big and grand, and it very much wants to be big and grand. I think that ambition does get in the way of the film as a whole, but maybe that was always going to be the case. The film is advertised in a way that tells you nothing about the plot but insists that "Waves will tear your heart out." So the PR push for the movie announces not what its about but rather just that it will be successful.
So already that's a hill to climb, to declare that 'this will be amazing' and then to have to deliver on that.
But then maybe that's what melodrama is. It's getting inside the head of someone and ramping everything else up to match the emotion that person feels on the inside. The two halves of the film deal with different siblings, both as they deal with incredible loss and, presumably, a first romance. There are severe highs and lows, and so it makes sense that everything, the ups and downs, would feel so heightened.
It's a film about teenagers and teenagers don't casually navigate their feelings and experiences. It's a dramatic time in one's life, and this is a dramatic movie.

Today, the band have a release the video for their current single 'One Thing'. The video was shot in and around Los Angeles.
Fronted by Texan native Danny Lee Backwell, 'Myth Of A Man' is an album that holds its own next to the classics, less of the bloodshot acid trip of Sonic Bloom (2013) and Who Sold My Generation (2016) here, Blackwell has recalibrated them, slowed them down just enough and allowed them the space to breathe and exist as something new. It's the same book, just a different chapter.
Written during a particularly destructive period for the band, the album is populated by fallen angels, blood-sucking wanderers, and vindictive lovers—sketches of people the band has surely come across during their cosmic roving through the underground—but the character most present is Blackwell, himself. "Myth Of A Man can be summed up as a personal display of vulnerability and guilty conscience," he explains, "Destroying the mythos of what it means to live and function in society." With its bold steps forward, Myth Of A Man serves as both a takedown and reintroduction of the band as we know it—the strongest evidence that you'll never be able to pin Night Beats down.
'Myth Of A Man' is released on Friday and the band head out on tour in Europe next month.
Known for their thrilling live shows, don't miss the bands run of headline shows that will blow your socks off.

L.A. Stories from Woodbury University
L.A. Stories from Woodbury University | KCET
l.a. letters
Mike Sonksen
Equally a scholar and performer, Mike Sonksen, also known as Mike the Poet, is a 3rd-generation L.A. native acclaimed for published essays, poetry performances and mentoring teen writers. Mike teaches at Woodbury University.
Over the last four months I have co-taught a class at Woodbury University called "L.A. Stories."
The course curriculum is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary mix of Los Angeles history and literature. A core component of the class are field trips to neighborhoods like Downtown, Boyle Heights, Koreatown and Leimert Park. The course is designed to "introduce students to a wide variety of L.A. fiction, film and historiography, and in addition, to expose them to new neighborhoods through extensive site visits," writes Professor Megan Kendrick, my partner in this endeavor. For the course, students wrote short essays and poems as well as a more extensive research paper on what we called "urban types."
Megan Kendrick earned her PhD in history at USC and worked closely with the great California historian Kevin Starr during her graduate studies. Aside from also being a native Angeleno, she is one of the few people in Southern California that love and know the terrain as much as me. We had an excellent semester and an outstanding group of engaged students. This week L.A. Letters highlights the spirit of the class and shares some of the observations, insights, and research generated by our students.
For those that do not know, Woodbury University is in Burbank. Though Woodbury has been around since 1884, it has grown and become much more known in the last few decades. Architecture, Graphic Design, and Fashion Design are three very popular subjects at the school and several of the students enrolled in L.A. Stories came from these majors. There were close to 20 students enrolled and they were a mix of international students, a few from across America, and quite a few locals representing hometowns from Silver Lake to Santa Clarita, Whittier to Glendale.
Before sharing their thoughtful revelations, a few words must be said about how the class came into existence. Professor Kendrick explains that "The 'L.A. Stories' course is the creation of Elisabeth Sandberg, PhD (Professor of English in the College of Transdisciplinarity) and Emily Bills, PhD (Coordinator of the Urban Studies Program and Managing Director of the Julius Shulman Institute)." The class has been offered several times since it began in 2010 as "Layered Landscapes of Los Angeles." Each new version of the class has added new texture and focus.
The class offers a great wide-angle snapshot of the city and in many ways, some would call it, "Los Angeles 101." One student told us that the class "would be useful as a required course for incoming out-of-state freshmen as means of enhancing the transition into the university." The interdisciplinary nature of the course provided the perfect platform to equally examine the physical, historical and literary landscapes of Los Angeles. As someone who has been giving professional city tours around Los Angeles since 1997, there's nothing I love to do more than simplify the sprawling complexity of Los Angeles.
In addition to the assigned readings and site visits, students were asked to choose a research topic that connected to their own interests within the city. Professor Kendrick's own deep interest in the history of cities and the built environment date back to her childhood, and she encouraged students to find something in the city that they felt passionate about. During my own undergraduate career two decades ago, I took a similar class at UCLA and the research in the course helped me come into my own as a writer and scholar. I learned about civic engagement from this experience and have remained engaged ever since.
Our students adhered to this spirit and chose a kaleidoscope of local places and issues in their quest to tell their own L.A. Stories. Professor Kendrick says, "Through research that included oral history and site analysis, students were to analyze 'how these urban spaces contain narratives of the city that have either been unheard or are out of plain view.' In this way, students explored how spaces became places: how the literal boundaries and physical forms of, for example, a nightclub, an ethnic enclave, or a church, contained stories of transformation, rupture or continuity."
It was very satisfying to observe the various places they selected and how the research came together. We will feature a few short excerpts from their work here.
Polina Zeynalian is a graduating senior in Fashion Design. Drawing on her experience with L.A.'s garment manufacturers, her essay critiqued the excesses and injustice of the global fashion industry. Zeynalian interviewed locally-based manufacturers, including a textile print and dye studio in Boyle Heights, a denim wash house near Compton, and a high-quality leather manufacturer in Vernon, and demonstrated that their contributions to Los Angeles have wide-reaching implications for quality of product, for labor and for the environment.
Christian Hidalgo is an Architecture major from Whittier. His research centered on three nature sites around Whittier: Whittier Narrows, Murphy Ranch, and Turnbull Canyon. His paper began by saying how for most of his life he took Whittier for granted, but as he got older, when he discovered the hiking trails of Turnbull Canyon and the sprawling wetlands at Whittier Narrows, he realized that his hometown had the perfect mix of the great outdoors and city life. His essay highlighted each of these sites and demonstrated his own evolution and personal development. In many ways, he painted a vivid picture of someone coming to a new understanding to where they are from. This excerpt from his paper reveals more:
As my life started to make a transition, I realized Whittier became more sacred to me than I ever thought it was. This dawned on me when my wife and I got married and moved out. As we were looking for a place to live and with our high demands we found that Whittier was what we were looking for all along. Whittier is a close walk to the mountain side to hike and mountain bike, a ten minute drive to some of the biggest lakes and parks around, and a close walk away to some hidden jewels of shops and bars, on top of warm nostalgic memories.
Maria Deroyan is a Graphic Design major who loves to write about and research the Los Angeles art scene. Her project examined the history of art museums in the greater Los Angeles area, and how institutions such as LACMA, Norton Simon, and the Getty Center "emerge as iconic and engaged agents that reflect the history and culture of the city." She looked at how the physical space of each museum embodied the tensions within L.A.'s art community. Deroyan just graduated, and intends to carry this work on as both a freelance writer and in her future graduate studies.
Alan Mera is another Architecture major, and his project studied the range of Los Angeles houses. In addition to covering well known Los Angeles housing types like the California Ranch House, Streamline Moderne, and Craftsmen Bungalow, Mera discussed the often overlooked "Storybook Houses," that were popular around Southern California in the 1920s and 30s. Some have called these whimsical homes, "a blurring of art and architecture," or "the architecture of fantasy." Mera's well researched project revealed his own love of California homes and his passion for architecture and design. He plans to design homes once he graduates and his project was a perfect fusion of his personal and professional interests.
Interdisciplinary Studies student Lori Boghigian analyzed the role that community centers play in the heavily Armenian American populated neighborhoods of Montebello, East Hollywood, and Glendale. Her project explored how these centers provide a physical space where the language, literature, music and dance of L.A.'s Armenian cultures can be practiced and preserved. Her study demonstrated that scholarship on the Armenian influence in Los Angeles is lacking, and that efforts of her generation to tell their own stories will be crucial. Boghigian is also a graduating senior and she also intends to carry on her research.
Graduating senior Aram Hacobian was greatly inspired by the London's Museum of History after he visited the city in 2014. His project noted that Los Angeles has a number of great museums, like the Museum of National History, the Getty, LACMA, MOCA, Japanese-American National Museum, African-American History Museum, but that there is not one standalone museum dedicated entirely to the History of Los Angeles. His essay proposed a Museum of Los Angeles History to be built on the grounds of Exposition Park where the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena now stands. Hacobian's project displayed his Los Angeles patriotism with flying colors. Undoubtedly he is not the first to consider this idea, and it's only a matter of time before it happens; nonetheless, his vision and enthusiasm is a hopeful sign.
There were a number of other great projects. Graduating senior Victoria Harris compared and contrasted the onsite residential programs and single room occupancies (SRO) in Skid Row. Harris is a Los Angeles native that split her childhood years between Boyle Heights and Silver Lake. She became interested in helping people on Skid Row after interning a few years ago at an emergency shelter. Her research also gave a brief history of Skid Row and noted that the district began at the end of the 19th century because it was the last train stop in the entire country. Architecture major Julian Hernandez examined the eateries of Boyle Heights, Hollywood, and Koreatown. Marine Guyujyan analyzed three different libraries across the city -- she compared and contrasted Downtown Central Library, the Vermont Square Library, and the branch in Palms/Rancho Park.
Guyujyan also shared with me an extended essay she wrote about the greening of Los Angeles. Her 2,000 word essay offered a survey of the efforts across the city to create more parks. The hopeful, yet thoughtful tone in her writing epitomizes the emerging spirit of the city's next generation. Her vision corroborates with many others when she writes:
The role of parks and other green spaces in making communities attractive and livable is unquestionable. Their significance becomes even more apparent in cities with high urbanization level and population density, where people suffer from poor air quality and excessive noise pollution that creates stress and increases anxiety. Hence, creating access to public parks in Los Angeles is a problem that demands solution from political and business leaders. The good news is that, new projects for green public spaces are becoming to appear more frequently on the Los Angeles political and environmental agenda.
Professor Kendrick and I were both deeply impressed with the student's observations and research. They demonstrated civic engagement and a passionate concern for the future of Los Angeles. We had an excellent experience learning about each of their own L.A. Stories. Salute to these students from Woodbury University for being the next generation of game-changers in the geography of L.A. Letters.

Xabi Alonso… What a footballer!
Bar Steven Gerrard, the Spaniard is probably the best midfielder Liverpool have had during the Premier League era. But according to reports, he's hanging up his boots at the end of this season, where he likely add another title to his personal collection with Bayern Munich.
Playing in a deep-lying playmaker role, Alonso controlled tempo and sprayed ludicrous passes for fun.
As a result of this he racked up a number of assists, but also scored 18 goals during his Anfield tenure – many of which were completely special.
Most come from outside of the area, and two famously come from inside his own half!

Which web-based email chat integrations are the best?
The integration of chat clients into our email inboxes has made staying in touch with friends and family even easier. Without missing a beat, you can now send an email and stay engage in an IM conversation all from within your web browser.
The best part of these email chat clients is there is no download is necessary, and they are extremely easy to use!
Check out our tutorials for the top three most popular email chats: AIM Mail, Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, and learn how to get the most out of these great applications.
Integrates with many apps and services.
Easy to access from anywhere.
Built with plenty of Google innovation, Gmail's email chat client is one of the simplest around but featuring many of the great functions of its Google Hangouts and Google+ integration.
On the left, below your Gmail inbox and other email boxes and categories at the bottom, you'll find Google Hangouts.
Google's IM and social networking efforts have gone through a few name changes and focus shifts over the years, and the IM used to be called Google Talk or Gtalk. If you have been using Gmail for a while, you probably remember this IM section of Gmail being referred to as Gtalk. This eventually became Google Hangouts, but the chat interface remains essentially the same within Gmail.
You will see your contacts listed, and to start a chat with one, or continue a chat started previously, simply click on the person's name. A chat box will open in the lower right of the browser screen where you can send messages and carry on your conversation with the person.

Yahoo! Messenger offers a lot of great features that are accessible right from Yahoo! Mail. For example, you can click the image icon at the bottom of the Messenger chat box to add images to your messages. Yahoo! Messenger lets you select image files from your computer to be added to the message—but only images; you can't send documents or other files in this way.
One useful feature that might help you avert an embarrassing blunder is the ability to "unsend" a message. Simply locate the message that you'd like to unsend, and scroll over it. A garbage can icon will appear—click it and confirm that you want to remove the message. The message should be deleted, though in testing it required deleting the message twice before it actually disappeared from both the sender and the recipient's chat.
Of course, if your recipient has already seen the message, this will not delete it from their mind, alas, but it can be very handy if you can catch it before they see it.
You can also favorite messages by placing your pointer over a message and clicking the heart icon. This will be displayed for other users in the conversation.
Can't find an email chat you don't like? You can still find a great IM client without a download! Check out the 11 best web-based chat clients for more chat fun! All you need is a web browser and an Internet connection!

Vice City Link - Asap Market Darknet


Warriors captain Knowledge Musona's availability for the crucial 2019 Afcon qualifier against Congo Brazzaville at home is uncertain after the striker sustained an ankle injury while turning out for his Belgian club Lokeren last weekend.
Group G leaders Zimbabwe host Congo at Harare's National Sports Stadium on March 24, needing just a point to qualify for their fourth Afcon tournament.
But Musona lasted 75 minutes during last weekend's Belgian First Division match against Genk after receiving an ankle knock, giving the Zimbabwe camp a huge injury concern.
"We heard from the team that he got a knock on the ankle muscle but it's too early to decide anything," Zimbabwe team manager Wellington Mupandare told The Herald.
"I am yet to see the report but I am sure it's not very serious because they are also going to assess him further on Friday ahead of the weekend games."
Musona has scored four in as many games this campaign, having also missed the match against DR Congo at home last October after being red-carded in the reverse fixture in Kinshasa.
If he is declared not fit for the Congo match, Musona joins Club Brugge midfielder Marvelous Nakamba who is already out of that match with an injury.

Whitmer signs Michigan return-to-learn COVID-19 school bills package
'These bills will help schools implement their comprehensive safety plans'
The Michigan governor has signed a bipartisan "Return to Learn" package of bills outlining instructional requirements for the 2020-2021 school year.
Under the new law, Michigan schools that deem it safe to provide in-person classes during the coronavirus pandemic would have to prioritize the option for K-5 students. It will also largely base districts' state funding on last year's pupil count to account for enrollment uncertainty in coming weeks.
The package needed Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's signature after the Michigan House approved it earlier this week. The agreement was first reached Friday by the governor and legislative leadership just ahead of Saturday's special Senate session.
According to Whitmer's office, the bills package provides "significant financial stability to districts by primarily using last year's pupil count to determine this year's funding levels."
"Over the past week, we have taken crucial steps to help Michigan schools and families navigate the new school year. Alongside this bipartisan agreement, I announced nearly $65 million in federal funding to help give students, parents, educators, and support staff the resources they need to provide the best and most safe education possible," said Whitmer. "These bills will help schools implement their comprehensive safety plans going into the 2020-21 school year. I am proud of this bipartisan package and will continue working with everyone who wants to ensure our schools are safe during COVID-19. These are great steps, but we will need a comprehensive bipartisan plan and funding from the federal government. It is time the Republicans in Congress to do their part to protect families and students across the country."
The agreement, which does not include state school funding for the state fiscal year that begins in one-and-a-half months, was criticized by superintendents and backed by teacher unions. It would waive a requirement that schools have 1,098 hours and 180 days of instruction. They must still provide the educational or course content that would have been delivered in a typical academic year.
Republicans agreed to remove a House-proposed requirement that schools offer in-person learning to K-5 students. Many districts, facing pressure from teachers and mixed reaction among parents, are starting with remote-only instruction due to COVID-19.
Highlights of the return-to-school deal look like this:
$583 in federal coronavirus relief funds dedicated to schools
$350 per pupil
More than $50 million in hazard pay for educators
$18 million for safety measures and local benchmark assessments to figure out how kids are doing.
A 75/25 formula to determine attendance, meaning that 75% will be counted from last year's total of students versus 25% from online attendance
What's required from school districts
Districts must submit their return plans, which should include educational goals and a description of how instruction will be delivered. Under each plan, schools are required to describe how instruction will be delivered, giving school districts the ability to provide instruction in-person at school or a different location, online, digitally, or any other remote means of learning. Districts are also required to describe how instruction for core academic areas provided under the learning plan will expose each student to standards comparable to in-person instruction and a description of how student progress will be graded or reported.
View list: Michigan school district return plans for 2020-21
Furthermore, districts must describe how they will ensure students with disabilities will be provided with equitable access to instruction accommodation as well as describe how students will be provided with equitable access to technology and internet if instruction is virtual.
The legislation ensures that students are engaged in learning by requiring consistent two-way interactions between students and teachers. As districts develop their plans they are required to work with their local health departments and employees to develop district wide guidelines and key metrics from local data. COVID-19 learning plans must be submitted to its ISD or authorizing body by October 1, 2020.
House Bills 5911, 5912, and 5913 were tie-barred and sponsored by Representative Gregory Markkanen, Representative Andrea Schroeder, and Representative Annette Glenn.

I was surprised even more how rich the culture of Abra is. Very rich. Very unique. Their identity and culture make Abra a very interesting province to love and take care.
"I was surprised even more how rich the culture of Abra is. Very rich. Very unique. Their identity and culture make Abra a very interesting province to love and take care."
[BANGUED, ABRA, PHILIPPINES] ▬ The night was young. The festive ambiance continues to draw crowd. The Abra Gymnasium is the place to go this point of time. A lot of children and young people gathered around the gymnasium with their beautiful traditional costumes. Inside the gymnasium, spectators are waiting for the start of the cultural night. You will notice that this event was well-prepared. The stage is sophisticated. The event was shown live on the giant screens inside and outside the gymnasium.
Prior to the start of the cultural night I observed what's going on around. I am seeing many Tinguian people representing proudly their sub-tribes. I know how hard to reach some of their villages but they're all here with one purpose - to showcase their beautiful culture and heritage.
Armed with dances and rites they inherited from their ancestors, I know this will penetrate my soul. I don't want to appear OA but whenever I see cultural rites and dances depicting the identity of the people, I have this tendency to cry because I treat traditional dances as a pure form of love of the people's culture and heritage whenever they do it.
I took the opportunity to see the cultural dancers up close. They all looked beautiful. They have this batek placed on their heads. Some male performers are wearing the baag too. There are also Ilocano performers. You know, Abra is the land where both the Ilocanos and Itneg tribes live in harmony.
I photographed them after asking permission. The female Itneg young people all looked beautiful with their costumes. I was somehow happy to see that the culture continues to be practiced by them. Kawayan Festival has become a medium to showcase this for the world to know.
I went inside the gymnasium and waited for the show. The first performers came. I thought it would just be an ordinary cultural show. It was extraordinary! How come I underestimated this? Shame on me!
The lights on the stage set the house on fire. Lively. Colorful. State-of-the-art production was revealed by the lights and sounds I was witnessing that time.
[BANGUED] ▬ SAKUTING DANCE ILLUSTRATES THE WAR OF FAITH BETWEEN THE ILOCANO AND ITNEG PEOPLE IN ABRA. THE TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE EVENTUALLY ACHIEVED UNITY WHEN THE TRIBES WERE CHRISTIANIZED.
[BANGUED] ▬ THIS GROUP PERFORMS ILOCANO CULTURAL DANCE.
[BANGUED] ▬ THIS GROUP MADE THE STAGE COLORFUL.
There are many groups who performed. Some came from Abra's far-flung municipalities. There are courtship dance, sakuting dance, tribal rite and dance in asking rain from the gods and many more.
[UP NEXT] ▬ WE WOKE UP VERY EARLY FOR THIS. WHAT'S THIS?
We woke up early because we heard that there is an interesting place in town that closes early too on the same day. So what we did here? Hang on for Part 7.


ANKARA (AA) – Turkey's parliament ratified on Friday the first temporary amendment to the Turkish constitution that allows the lifting of immunity from prosecution of 138 lawmakers.
Parliament Speaker Ismail Kahraman announced in the general assembly that the bill received the backing from 373 MPs, while 138 lawmakers voted against it in the 550-seat parliament.
A total of 531 parliamentarians participated in the secret ballot process, out of which eight MPs abstained, nine cast blank votes and three votes were considered invalid.
The ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party, which has 316 seats, and the opposition Nationalist Movement Party, also known as MHP, which has 40 seats, both backed the bill.
The 138 deputies of the Grand National Assembly, who hail from all four parliamentary parties, could now be prosecuted to face 667 criminal proceedings lodged against them.
A second amendment to the constitution will be put to vote separately, after which the two amendments will be voted on together.
If 367 deputies or more vote yes for the second amendment and for the joint voting as well then it will be presented to the Turkish president for final approval.
