Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson and Idris Elba Shine in the First Trailer for Cats Movie
07/18/2019 Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Mov
Cats is taking over.
The first official trailer for the star-studded remake of the classic musical debuted on Thursday with some major transformations for Hollywood's biggest stars.
Jennifer Hudson's Grizabella sings "Memory" in the trailer, which was originally sung by Elaine Paige when the musical debuted on the West End in 1981.
Full of intense choreography and cat costumes that made the Andrew Lloyd Webber a success, the trailer is full of sneak peeks at Idris Elba, Rebel Wilson, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, James Corden, Taylor Swift and Hudson, 37, as Jellicle Cats who seek ascension to the Heaviside Layer to come back to a new Jellicle life.
Swift, 29, posted the trailer on Instagram, with the caption, "I am a cat now and somehow that was everything #CatsMovie."
Elba, 46, teased Swift's performance in March telling Variety the singer "was great."
"Her and I had a lot of work to do together, and she was amazing. She worked hard and was just happy to be there," he said.
Wilson, who described her character Jennyanydots as a "middle-aged lazy cat," also had good things to say about Swift in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
"She's incredible," Wilson said. "She's such a lovely girl, and I personally think her cat is the sexiest out of all the cats."
Cats debuts in theaters on December 20.

Enter here every day for a chance to win $800 worth of Nestle chocolates for your whole neighbourhood. Since I never talk to anyone in my neighbourhood, I don't think they'd be too happy to see me handing out boxes of chocolates for everyone out of the blue. Good Luck!


This is our biggest preschool class ever! In the past 7 years, since the preschool/playroom was created, we have wavered from 2 to 6 children from 0 to 5 years. For various reasons we now have TEN! (1 yr. old baby Vichea was napping, thus missed being in the photo). With so many little ones, days are long and usually I fall into bed exhausted physically and mentally. This is not necessarily a bad thing though.
I remember times in my life where I didn't quite know which way was up, or what my next step would be. Now (thanks to my Fitbit gifted from Margarita!) I am aware that I take approximately 12,000 steps a day...without trying.
Keeping this rambunctious group consisting of one - 1yr. old, two - 2yr. olds, two - 3 yr. olds, two - 4yr. olds and three - 5yr. olds, constructively occupied is a challenge especially with the variation of ages. Our 6 month volunteer Lina and I have mapped out a good system so far with her taking the 4 and 5 yr. olds and I take the little ones, but there are those occasions that we bring them all together for a fun day - as such was today.
BUT before we could even get started, We heard a fierce angry quacking as our staff came towards us carrying 10 not so happy ducks. They were relocating them to another area and the children were very interested.
After they became bored at that, we stopped to pick some flowers.
THEN our car/truck crazy little one heard a tractor and screamed with joy and went running to the fence that separates our property from the Buddhist Temple next door...and like the ducks they just watched, the others followed suit.
It's not every day you see a monk driving a tractor!
Until he drove out of sight.
Even though the rainy season has officially ended, we still have sporadic rain in the evenings, so the days are hot and humid, but everything is green and beautiful. Today as older ones went on to the preschool for their circle time I remembered that we had little blow up pools left over from our family outing to KohRong Island a few months ago. With those in mind we set about making our own little 'island' complete with our beach mats, pools, laundry tubs, colorful balls and a hose. What more could you ask for?
The little ones, um...helped? Jaime get the pool party ready.
I promise, she's laughing - it's just not easy to tell!
And then the others joined in and it was a little too much commotion for Miss S.K. who has only been home from the hospital for a few days. She decided to head on over to the beach mat and watch from afar.
Then on to the beach mats for snack time.
Benji is not too sure he likes this new 'no sharing' S.K.
Laughing so hard as she kept pushing Benji away from her snack! Again, seriously, she's laughing - but you really never know until you hear the sound out of her mouth. I could have posted that "she cried when Benji stole half her snack" and you would have believed me!
Then it was back to the pools as the play became a bit more subdued.
With lunch time approaching everyone cleaned up and showered...and had an impromptu photo session.
By the way...did you notice the clothes change? With so many the same size they don't care whose clothes they put on.
Never a dull moment and although the days are long and of course trying, AND there are times I question my existence here...its pretty obvious that it's a good fit!

A glass of NoyNoy for every child!
As many as 250,000 glasses of milk were distributed among children living in children's homes in Greece under a CSR NoyNoy brand programme during the second half of 2015. And still counting in 2016! The programme called 'A glass of milk for every child' is an initiative of the Greek NoyNoy team and it had a great impact on Greek society, which is still heavily suffering from the economic crisis.
Chryssa Kentouris, corporate communications manager of FrieslandCampina Hellas, tells us: "We wanted to help society in these tough times and NoyNoy, the very famous dairy brand synonymous with children's and family nutrition in Greece, showed its social character it is known for in Greece. No child should have to do without or with limited portions of dairy."
NoyNoy decided to play an active role in supporting children living in children's homes, which are led by NGOs and receive ever less support from the government. "Because of the economic situation in our country, the NGOs are unable to fully cover all the nutritional needs, even dairy needs", Chryssa explains.
The NoyNoy team cooperated with five of the most reputable NGOs that are involved in the care for homeless children. "Last year, we launched a plan to distribute 250,000 glasses of milk through the NGOs among children and in particular those that cannot live at home with their own parents. We also involved consumers in our actions through social media and invited them to share good wishes and love with these children. The programme also entailed a request to our employees to visit the children and to give them small gifts on a voluntary basis. Finally, the highlight of the programme was a big Christmas event in a theme park for which we invited the children together with the employees of FrieslandCampina Hellas and their families", according to George Anastasopoulos, NoyNoy brand activation manager.
Mitigate distress
"The respect, the attention and the free publicity that was given to the programme exceeded our expectations", Chryssa continues. "Articles were published in national newspapers and magazines, and we appeared on five national television channels where Kostas Maggioros, our Managing Director, explained why we are doing this. We reached 3.5 million people through social media. The impact was really huge. We received many positive reactions, but this was not the reason why we did this. The main reason is to help children in need and to mitigate their distress a bit. At this moment, resources are limited, but we still manage to distribute milk. So far, we have provided a total of over 750,000 glasses of milk. Our NoyNoy marketing team really put a lot of effort in making this programme meaningful. It is successful and we do everything we can to keep it going."
World Food Issue


Over Christmas break from college there is often not much to do near my parent's house. Luckily, the Escanaba, Michigan area is a good place to be if you're a railfan with little else to do.
I spent much of the first week of break following the Wisconsin Central action around town. Every day I checked on the E & LS roundhouse at Wells for action, but the most I caught was an ex-Conrail GP38 parked outside one day. I waited for a couple hours, but the engine just pulled back into the shops, so I gave up. Besides, Escanaba is one of the last hot-spots for Wisconsin Central SD45's, more interesting and photographic than a grungy ex-Conrail GP38 anyway.
The E & LS has a large collection of Baldwin diesels, but only two are operational now. Since I had become serious about railfanning, I had taken many pictures of the unserviceable Baldwins in Wells yard, but never saw one running.
The two operational Baldwins are #300 and #202. RS12 #300 is very seldom used, and stays tucked out of sight indoors. #202, a DS-4-4-1000 in Calumet & Hecla paint, is still operational, and used regular on switching assignments.
On January 4, 2005 I followed a WC freight-train into Escanaba, then caught sight of #202 scooting out of the roundhouse on the E & LS at Wells. This engine soon became the focus of the day.
I went over by the ELS paint shop at Wells, while the crew worked to clean packed snow out of a crossing where they cross the paint-shop driveway. The 1948-built engine sounded great. The crew pulled through a switchback that they use to access the back-door of the paint, shop, then pulled out another gem, RS12 #300.
This was a great catch, as this engine rarely sees the light of day now. A garbage truck needed to deposit a dumpster inside the paint shop, so they needed to move #300 to let them in. Once the dumpster was in, #300 was put back inside.
N. Escanaba, and switches the roundhouse at Wells. There is only one customer in Escanaba now, DeCock propane, but the ELS car-shops usually keep this job busy. The ELS repairs their own cars, as well as cars for other companies such as GE Capital, to bring in extra revenue.
This day, however, the work was light. The engine ran light to the WC interchange at N. Escanaba, hauled down 3 empty CIC gondolas, then pulled them up the Escanaba branch to the car-shops in Escanaba. Where cars are usually lined up outside the shops awaiting repairs, today the shops were completely empty. After backing the gondolas in, the engine ran light back to N. Escanaba, then east up the original mainline to the roundhouse in Wells to tie-up for the night.
Although the work was light, it is great to watch a 57-year-old Baldwin switcher running on a perfect, sunny winter day. Although the E & LS relies mostly on EMD's now, they are still a Baldwin road.

Nearly two-thirds of Canadians are in the dark about managing the care and finances of their aging parents: CIBC Poll Français
Apr 27, 2017, 04:00 ET
Nearly two-thirds of Canadians are in the dark about managing the care and finances of their aging parents: CIBC Poll (CNW Group/CIBC)
The Family Playbook: Planning for the Care of Your Aging Parents (CNW Group/CIBC)
With only 22 per cent of boomers formalizing their wishes, families are putting off having important conversations, underscoring the need for a family playbook
TORONTO, April 27, 2017 /CNW/ - While the vast majority of Canadian adults with a parent over the age of 65 feel it's important to discuss elder caregiving and financial support, nearly two-thirds (62 per cent) admit they have not yet had that conversation mainly because it makes them uncomfortable, a new CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) poll finds.
"Families shouldn't wait for a health emergency or unexpected event to force a hurried conversation about caregiving and financial planning," says David Nicholson, Vice-President, CIBC Imperial Service. "These can be tough conversations, but creating a family playbook with clear plans and expectations can help reduce the emotional and financial strain to ensure everyone feels well-prepared for the years ahead."
Key poll findings:
One in four (26 per cent) of all Canadians are concerned about helping to manage the finances of their aging parents. That jumps to a third (31 per cent) for those aged 35-54.
As many as 42 per cent of all Canadians are worried about losing their independence due to illness or aging and 31 per cent worry about becoming a financial burden to their loved ones.
Among the 45 per cent of Canadians with a parent aged 65+:
90 per cent say it's important that parents discuss how they'd like their finances managed in case they're not able to do so themselves
Almost two-thirds (62 per cent) have not had a conversation with their parents about how to manage their financial affairs in case they aren't able to do so on their own
Two-in-five (40 per cent) say they're uncomfortable discussing it, or worry about appearing disrespectful or only 'after their money'
73 per cent believe it's really up to their parents to start the conversation
One-third (33 per cent) say their parents rely on them regularly for some kind of assistance.
With nearly one in six Canadians at least 65 years old in 2015 and the growth rate accelerating as the baby boomer generation ages, elder care and financial planning is becoming a growing issue for Canadian families, says Mr. Nicholson.
Aging boomers expect their adult kids to step in
The poll results also reveal that 46 per cent of boomers aged 55+ expect their spouse and 31 per cent look to their children to manage their financial affairs if they became incapacitated due to advanced age, illness or disability. That said, the vast majority (89 per cent) with children, who expect their spouse to take care of them, also want their adult kids to be prepared to step in to provide care and financial support if needed.
Yet, only two in five (43 per cent) of boomers have actually discussed it, and even fewer (22 per cent) have taken any steps to formalize their wishes because they haven't made time for it, don't think they need to, or feel they don't have enough wealth to warrant planning ahead.
"An outside expert or professional can help facilitate a family dialogue around what can otherwise be a tough conversation and help you create a financial plan that meets your needs and ensure your have the proper documents in place," says Mr. Nicholson. "You don't want anyone to scramble trying to find important documents, pay bills, or be unsure of what their mom or dad would've wanted."
"Now is the time to have that heart-to-heart and put the right documents in place. A little bit of planning early on goes a long way and will help you provide your parents with the care and support they provided you," he says.
A will won't cover everything
The poll also finds that some Canadians with parents aged 65+ know they already have the power to provide financial or personal support, and others don't. Less than half (43 per cent) of adult kids say their parents have either a Power of Attorney (POA) or Mandate in Quebec, or a personal care POA in place, compared to 68 per cent who say their parents have a will.
While a will is often the initial step and an effective tool in your estate plan, the planning shouldn't end there, adds Mr. Nicholson.
With Canadians on average living longer, the likelihood of needing some help with banking, health or personal care is something many families will need to consider, especially for those at risk of debilitating cognitive diseases which could leave them vulnerable to fraud or abuse.
"It's important to appoint someone you trust to tend to your health, personal care and finances," says Mr. Nicholson. "Providing them with instructions and a financial plan for your senior years, will help you age with confidence knowing your needs will be met."
Five steps to creating your family playbook:
Have a conversation – include all or key family members to minimize any confusion or family conflict later
Know where to find key documents and financial assets - Build a file with contact names and key documents, such as medical, legal and financial documents, including bank accounts, safety deposit boxes, investments, insurance, recent income tax returns, business interests, assets, liabilities, financial and personal care POAs. List your monthly bills/expenses.
Write down plans and expectations for caregiving
Create a financial plan that considers caregiving arrangements and costs
Seek financial and legal counsel about building your estate plan

Teal Swan talks about the idea that people create their own reality, and comprehending that with bringing forward negative experiences in their lives. She says that when that happens (negative experiences), you shouldn't feel as if you are a failure at creating your own reality. Instead, it was those negative experiences that were called for in order for your vibration or consciousness to leap up to the next level. In other words, it was what was needed.
Wow this couldn't be more of timely it was speaking right to me thanks.

The Getaway marks the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 11th studio album and first since 2011's I'm With You, with a release date of June 17th 2016. Danger Mouse produced the record, with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich responsible for mixing.
The torture about doing this,is that we've been writing new music for the last year, and we've written some songs that I feel are as good as any songs we've ever written.
Danger Mouse is very good about coming up with super-modern ideas, but he'll also touch on the acoustic guitar in the control room and strip the song down to its acoustic essentials. Which is a beautiful place to be.
In a video interview, Kiedis explained that the album was given a short succinct title inspired by the 1972 Steve McQueen film, The Getaway.

Carlos Ezquerra, the visionary artist who co-created Judge Dredd, dies at 70
Edie Nugent
Today the comics community at large mourns the passing of legendary artist Carlos Ezquerra whose work co-creating Judge Dredd with writers Pat Mills, John Wagner and Alan Grant for 2000 AD defined that magazine through over 40 years of publishing and coalesced the modern British comics movement. The news broke today via Ezquerra's Spanish publisher ECC Comics. He was 70.
"In the last weeks, postoperative complications aggravated Carlos Ezquerra's health condition," wrote ECC Comics in a translation of a note posted on their website today. Ezquerra was a cancer survivor, who had an operation in 2010 and managed to bounce back from the diagnosis.
Ezquerra was born in Zargoza Spain and lived in Andorra, though he reportedly got his start working for an English publisher in Barcelona. It is said that he was one of the first Aragonese artists to move to the Catalan capital. There he found work with 2000 AD, the weekly British sci-fi comic magazine that celebrated its 40th anniversary last year.
His work developing the seminal character Judge Dredd was something of a departure from his prior portfolio of Western and Romance comics. Judge Dredd appeared in the second issue of 2000 AD in 1977, and Ezquerra's energetic line would go on to inform that character, as well as the magazine, for decades to come. Ezquerra also created Strontium Dog for 2000 AD sister paper Starlord with John Wagner in 1978. He also worked with Garth Ennis many times, including on the Preacher: Saint of Killers miniseries.
Ezquerra understood the impact of his science-fiction work extended beyond its "thrill power," a term 2000 AD fans use to describe the magazine's unique energy. Speaking on the popularity of Johnny Alpha, who he co-created for Strontium Dog, Ezquerra told Judge Dredd Magazine in 2010: "I think it is so popular because he is a very human and complex character, and the issues he tackles are very much alive in our society: racism, segregation, individuality against corporations."
The artist also had a reputation for his avuncular nature, often talking to fans extensively and as if they were already known to him. When asked in an interview for a 2000 AD fanzine in 2014 about his legacy, Ezquerra responded: "unfortunately I discover too late in life my real vocation was to count clouds on a tropical beach with a Margarita in my hands."
Fans, creators, and fans-turned-creators due to Ezquerra's influence will no doubt raise a Margarita in his honor tonight to mark the passing of a man whose extensive body of work was apparently only out-classed by his generous nature.

Efficient, reproducible results with Cas9
/ by Krishanu Saha, Ph.D.
By Krishanu Saha, Ph.D., Department of Biomedical Engineering & Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, University of Wisconsin-Madison
At the University of Wisconsin - Madison, one focus of our group is understanding and optimizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing for therapeutic and disease modeling applications. To conduct our research, we need reliable, consistent and highly efficient Cas9 protein.
Model system for Cas9 gene editing
To perform targeted gene editing, the Cas9 protein, which cuts the genome, and a guide RNA (gRNA) that encodes where in the genome to cut, need to be complexed together into a ribonuclear protein (RNP) complex and transfected to cells to reach the nucleus. Once the DNA is cut, imprecise DNA repair may cause disruption at the cut site, which can result in knock out of a gene.

CRISPR/Cas9 is a vital part of our research at the University of Minnesota and the Cas9 recombinant protein, used at high concentration, has allowed for highly efficient modification of T-cells.
By introducing a Cas9 nuclease guide RNA complex (RNP), we target a specific spot in the genome, where the nuclease cuts the DNA. The DNA break is repaired in one of two ways: homologous recombination, which is high-fidelity, or non-homologous endjoining (NHEJ), which is more error-prone.

All good things must come to an end, and sometimes that applies to businesses, too. Products you once loved get yanked off shelves, and brands you once wore suddenly shut down for good. The constant changes can be hard to keep track of, especially in a tough business climate like today's so-called retail apocalypse.
From global corporations that are no more (RIP, Payless) to short-lived inventions (we're looking at you, Amazon Fire Phone), here's a close look at some of the products and brands you can no longer buy.
After this spring, customers looking for an affordable pair of shoes will have to go somewhere other than Payless. The company, which once made up to $3.4 billion in revenue, is shutting down all of its stores (more than 2,500 total) in 2019. The retail locations are currently holding liquidation sales to get rid of their merchandise. Though some are staying open through May, others will close at the end of March.
This kid's clothing brand is technically still around, but won't be available for much longer. The children's clothing retailer Gymboree Group Inc. once operated over 1,200 specialty retail stores of kids' apparel, including affordable options Gymboree and Crazy 8 and higher-end brands like Janie and Jack. But declining sales over the last several years led the company to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in mid-January.
Soon after, the company announced that it would shut down all of its 800 Gymboree and Crazy 8 stores throughout the U.S. and Canada. Online sales for both of those brands have halted, although the final weeks of liquidation sales are still ongoing in certain brick and mortar locations. Meanwhile, all Janie and Jack assets have been sold to Gap Inc.
Amazon doesn't miss the mark all that often, but the company's Fire Phone is widely considered one of its biggest failures. The product marked Amazon's first foray into the smartphone market and seemed to have plenty of potential, but it couldn't keep up with its competitors and, after receiving some initial interest among consumers, sales for the phone rapidly declined. Amazon ceased production of the Fire Phone in August 2015 and discontinued sales soon after, although you can still find some stragglers on eBay.
Starting April 30, Charlotte Russe will be no more. All '90s kids and their parents will remember this affordable women's clothing store as a one-time mall staple. But like many other retailers in recent years, the company couldn't keep up with digital competitors and sales continued to decline. The brand will officially shut down at the end of the month, closing all of its more than 500 nationwide stores. The decision comes after 100 stores already shuttered following an earlier closure announcement. Online sales have also ended.
Bad news for cyclists: One of the nation's largest bike retailers has shut down for good. All 104 locations of Performance Bicycle have been shuttered this year, with the last closure scheduled on March 2. Parent company Advanced Sports Enterprises filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last fall. Though the corporation initially hoped to save at least half of the discount chain's locations with renegotiated leases, it ultimately opted to fold the brand altogether.
After over a century in business, the iconic luxury brand has officially shuttered. All two dozen of its nationwide stores closed in early 2019. Parent company L Brands announced in fall 2018 that Bendel's website and locations — including the iconic Fifth Avenue location in New York — would shut its doors. The flagship location held a closeout sale that drew a frenzy of customers in its final weeks.
Fans of the original Coke Zero were left disappointed in 2017 when Coca-Cola announced plans to discontinue the product. The company pulled Coke Zero from shelves that summer and replaced it with a new beverage: Coke Zero Sugar, which boasted not just a different design and name, but a different formula. Though Coke Zero sales grew in the U.S. in the year prior to the decision, Coke Zero Sugar proved to be a major hit overseas, leading the company to bring it stateside.
For many people, Toys "R" Us is a name synonymous with childhood — one that reminds you of the many times you begged your mom to go inside and "just look" at that cool new toy in the window. Sadly, the days of being a Toys "R" Us kid are over — at least for now. After filing for bankruptcy in September 2017, the company closed all 735 of its U.S. stores less than a year later. The closings prompted a massive response on social media, with users mourning the loss of the iconic toy chain.
But there may still be hope. There's recently been some talk that the brand could be making a comeback, potentially under a different name.
Toys "R" Us' sister brand, Babies "R" Us, also shuttered its doors in June 2018. The company was once the leading retailer of baby gear in the U.S., but had seen a decline in sales and customers in recent years, likely due to the rise of online shopping among consumers. With Toys "R" Us plotting a comeback, there's been speculation that this brand could also come back to life sometime in the future.
Scion was the Toyota Motor Corporation's attempt to create a car brand that would appeal to young shoppers. The company launched Scion as a marquee brand in 2003, introducing several new models, like the compact Scion xB and sporty Scion tC. However, after a few years of facing stiff competition and declining sales, Toyota decided to phase out Scion cars in 2016.
As in the case of Payless and Charlotte Russe, you won't be able to shop Shopko by the beginning of the summer. The discount retailer, based in Wisconsin, will shut down all of its over 350 stores by June. The move comes just months after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and scheduled an auction for its assets. The auction was later canceled and the retailer announced it would liquidate all of its assets and shut down its brick-and-mortar locations instead.
These days, you'd be hard-pressed to go a full block without finding someone who has a Keurig. The company's single-pod coffee machines are widely used in businesses and residences everywhere. So you can sort of see why they'd try to branch out and launch an at-home soda machine. Unfortunately for them, the Keurig Kold didn't land, partly because of the $370 price tag. Keurig ended up axing the product just nine months after its debut.
But apparently, that hasn't deterred the company from continuing to experiment. Keurig just announced it's working on a similar machine for cocktails.
Sports Authority was once the nation's largest sporting goods retailer, but the company was forced to close all of its stores in 2016, shortly after filing for bankruptcy. The brand initially planned to close only 140 of its 450 stores and sell the remaining locations to a buyer. After failing to find a buyer for its assets, the company shuttered its doors entirely.
The A&P chain of grocery stories was once considered an American icon, labeled by many as the original Walmart. The chain, known for its innovation back in the day, helped usher in a new era of improved nutrition by offering a more extensive assortment of foods to the masses at lower costs. However, the grocery brand suffered several ups and downs over the years, declining in popularity in the '70s, regaining profitability in the '80s and so on.
It regained some traction after purchasing Pathmark in 2007 but filed for bankruptcy by 2010. Eventually overrun by more modern competitors like Whole Foods and Kroger, the business shuttered its stores in 2015.
The department store originated in Pennsylvania with an iconic flagship store in downtown Pittsburgh. At its peak, the regional chain operated several dozen stores across five states in the eastern U.S. In 2006, Federated Department Stores, the parent company to Macy's, bought the company's assets and converted many of its stores, not including the Pittsburgh location. However, the flagship store was also eventually closed and sold in 2015. It has since been redeveloped into a multi-use building, including apartments and a hotel.
Our construction team is hard at work under the clock. We have HUGE announcements coming soon regarding the iconic building's redevelopment. Stay tuned!
Those who still have a Windows phone may want to trade it in for an iOS or Android device. In January 2019, Microsoft announced that it would shut down support for Windows 10 Mobile starting on December 10, 2019. This comes over a year after the company announced that work on Windows 10 Mobile was drawing to a close. Though meant to offer unification of software and services to loyal PC users, the system failed to garner much interest in the smartphone marketplace.
While you may still be able to find certain Windows phones for purchase online, they may not function properly for much longer, and no continued updates will be available.
Crystal Pepsi, a caffeine-free, clear version of the soda, originally hit shelves for a brief period in the '90s. At the time, the company advertised it as a healthier alternative to traditional Pepsi (spoiler alert: It's not really much healthier). But it didn't take long for Pepsi discontinued the product.
However, the drink apparently still piques interest from the public, as Pepsi continues to bring it back in limited runs on occasion. In 2017, the company relaunched the beverage for a short time, along with a series of retro concerts featuring Busta Rhymes and Salt-N-Pepa. Though no longer sold in stores, you can sometimes find it for sale (for inflated prices) online.
Suzuki has previously ranked in the top 10 of the world's automakers, but the reputation of its motorcycles far outweighs that of its cars. Its limited product line has caused the brand to deal with struggling car sales for years, particularly in the U.S. After a big push behind the mid-size Kizashi sedan flopped, American Suzuki filed for bankruptcy in November 2012, and production ceased shortly after. The company continues to operate overseas.
Borders Group, the intentional book and music retailer, once oversaw over 500 Borders superstores across the United States and 175 Waldenbooks specialty stores. But though the brand was popular in the early 2000s, sales began rapidly plummeting after 2006. Over the next several years, the book retailer tried to find a buyer and made several changes to its board of executives, but could not get the company back on track. It filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and all business operations ceased that same year.
When it comes to condiments, there's no brand more iconic than Heinz. But believe it or not, not all of its ketchup has been a hit. In 2000, Heinz rolled out a vibrant, green-colored version in support of the new "Shrek" movie. Of course, kids loved it at first, and company sales quickly skyrocketed. But the enthusiasm didn't last long. As the interest in the movie died down, so did the interest in the neon-colored ketchup. And despite Heinz's efforts to replicate its initial success with other colors (including blue, orange and purple), the product was discontinued in 2006.
In October 2010, Sony announced it would stop production of its cassette Walkman after 30 years. It was the end of an era for the company, which first began manufacturing the product in 1979 and went to sell over 200 million throughout several decades. The Walkman underwent several iterations over time, including a colorful version and a waterproof model. While there's little to no demand for cassettes, let alone cassette players, these days, many still found it sad to see the once-beloved music player go.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 was considered by many to be a decent phone model — until worldwide reports of the batteries failing and the phones catching fire started to roll in. The company opted to "permanently discontinue" the model in 2016 following an unsuccessful attempt to resolve the issues. Samsung told mobile carriers to stop sales of the device and asked owners to shut off and return their phones. Luckily for loyal fans of the Galaxy Note, the company has since released newer, updated models, including the Galaxy Note 8 and 9.
Google was hoping to revolutionize the world when it unveiled the original Google Glass in 2012. But though the product may have sprouted some impressive technology, it came at an absurd $1,500 price tag. Not to mention that the product spurred widespread privacy concerns. Now you'd be hard-pressed to find an original model for sale anywhere other than eBay. But Google Glass apparently still lives on in the company, with newer iterations tapping into AI technology.
In March 2019, Icelandic budget carrier Wow Air abruptly ceased operations and canceled its flights. The airline announced the closure in a statement posted to its website, advising stranded passengers to book new flights on other airlines. The airline, known for its cheap trans-Atlantic fares, is the latest to suffer from financial problems due to intense competition and changing business strategies in the industry.
The PlayStation Vita is now a thing of the past. In March 2019, it was revealed that Sony had discontinued production of the portable video game console, which launched in December 2011 as a replacement for the PlayStation Portable. Though it offered a healthy array of games, the model never really caught on during its seven-year run, particularly as smartphones overtook other devices in popularity. The company reportedly has no current plans for a successor.

Why The Underground Railroad Was Bad? (Correct answer)
How dangerous was the Underground Railroad?
In the states of the Deep South, it was considered extremely dangerous for both slaves and conductors to attempt to escape the plantations. While there were quite a few individuals, and some famous people at that, who took part, the Underground Railroad was also made up of groups that assisted the fugitive slaves in heading north.
What was bad about the Underground Railroad?
Slave states and slave hunters The Southern Underground Railroad went through slave states, lacking the abolitionist societies and the organized system of the north. People who spoke out against slavery were subject to mobs, physical assault, and being hanged.
Why was the Underground Railroad illegal?
After the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act as part of the Compromise of 1850 the Underground Railroad was rerouted to Canada as its final destination. The Act made it illegal for a person to help a run away, and citizens were obliged under the law to help slave catchers arrest fugitive slaves.
Why did the Underground Railroad anger the South?
The Underground Railroad physically resisted the repressive laws that held slaves in bondage. By provoking fear and anger in the South, and prompting the enactment of harsh legislation that eroded the rights of white Americans, the Underground Railroad was a direct contributing cause of the Civil War.
Was the Underground Railroad a success or failure?
The Underground Railroad (1820 – 1861) The success of the Underground Railroad rested on the cooperation of former runaway slaves, free-born blacks, Native Americans, and white and black abolitionists who helped guide runaway slaves along the routes and provided their homes as safe havens.
What dangers did slaves face on the Underground Railroad?
If they were caught, any number of terrible things could happen to them. Many captured fugitive slaves were flogged, branded, jailed, sold back into slavery, or even killed. Not only did fugitive slaves have the fear of starvation and capture, but there were also threats presented by their surroundings.
Was there actually an underground railroad?
Nope! Despite its name, the Underground Railroad wasn't a railroad in the way Amtrak or commuter rail is. It wasn't even a real railroad. The Underground Railroad of history was simply a loose network of safe houses and top secret routes to states where slavery was banned.
What dangers did Harriet Tubman face?
When she was about 12 years old she reportedly refused to help an overseer punish another enslaved person, and she suffered a severe head injury when he threw an iron weight that accidentally struck her; she subsequently suffered seizures throughout her life.
How many slaves died trying to escape?
At least 2 million Africans –10 to 15 percent–died during the infamous "Middle Passage" across the Atlantic. Another 15 to 30 percent died during the march to or confinement along the coast. Altogether, for every 100 slaves who reached the New World, another 40 had died in Africa or during the Middle Passage.
How many runaway slaves were there?
Approximately 100,000 American slaves escaped to freedom.
Was the Underground Railroad civil disobedience?
However, in some places, especially after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, the Underground Railroad was deliberate and organized. Despite the illegality of their actions, people of all races, class and genders participated in this widespread form of civil disobedience.
What happened to the Underground Railroad after the Civil War?
The Underground Railroad ceased operations about 1863, during the Civil War. In reality, its work moved aboveground as part of the Union effort against the Confederacy.
How many slaves did Harriet Tubman save?
Fact: According to Tubman's own words, and extensive documentation on her rescue missions, we know that she rescued about 70 people —family and friends—during approximately 13 trips to Maryland.
The Underground Railroad's Troubling Allure
Alexander Hamilton was placed on the face of the $10 note in 1929, replacing Andrew Jackson, and this was the last time an image on a dollar was replaced. After Grover Cleveland retired on the $20 bill in 1928, Jackson was promoted to the position. It is prohibited by law for a live person to appear on a banknote, and the Secretary of the Treasury has complete control over the design of banknotes, including the portrait on the reverse. For the $1 note, the only portrait that must be printed is George Washington, which the secretary is legally bound to do.
Anthony, a pioneer of the women's suffrage movement, and Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their expedition across the Louisiana Territory, among others.

A Dangerous Path to Freedom
The last time a portrait on a banknote was replaced was in 1929, when Alexander Hamilton was put on the face of the $10 bill, replacing Andrew Jackson. Jackson was appointed to the $20 note in 1928, taking over for Grover Cleveland. By law, no live person may appear on a banknote, and the Secretary of the Treasury is granted responsibility over the design of banknotes, which includes the portrait. The only portrait that the Secretary of the Treasury is legally compelled to print on a bill is George Washington, who appears on the $1 note.

ConductorsAbolitionists
Train conductors on the Underground Railroad were free persons who provided assistance to escaped slaves moving via the Underground Railroad system. Runaway slaves were assisted by conductors, who provided them with safe transportation to and from train stations. They were able to accomplish this under the cover of darkness, with slave hunters on their tails. Many of these stations would be in the comfort of their own homes or places of work, which was convenient. They were in severe danger as a result of their actions in hiding fleeing slaves; nonetheless, they continued because they believed in a cause bigger than themselves, which was the liberation thousands of oppressed human beings.
They represented a diverse range of ethnicities, vocations, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Due to the widespread belief that slaves were considered property, the freeing of slaves was perceived as a theft of slave owners' personal belongings.
Captain Jonathan Walker was apprehended off the coast of Florida while attempting to convey slaves from the United States to freedom in the Bahamas.
With the following words from one of his songs, abolitionist poet John Whittier paid respect to Walker's valiant actions: "Take a step forward with your muscular right hand, brave ploughman of the sea!
She never lost sight of any of them during the journey.
He went on to write a novel.
John Parker is yet another former slave who escaped and returned to slave states in order to aid in the emancipation of others.
Rankin's neighbor and fellow conductor, Reverend John Rankin, was a collaborator in the Underground Railroad project.
The Underground Railroad's conductors were unquestionably anti-slavery, and they were not alone in their views.
Individuals such as William Lloyd Garrison and Arthur and Lewis Tappan founded the American Anti-Slavery Society, which marked the beginning of the abolitionist movement.
The group published an annual almanac that featured poetry, paintings, essays, and other abolitionist material.
Frederick Douglass was an escaped slave who rose to prominence as an abolitionist after escaping from slavery.
His other abolitionist publications included the Frederick Douglass Paper, which he produced in addition to delivering public addresses on themes that were important to abolitionists.
Anthony was another well-known abolitionist who advocated for the abolition of slavery via her speeches and writings.
For the most part, she based her novel on the adventures of escaped slave Josiah Henson.
Efforts of Abolitionists Telling Their Story:Fugitive Slave Narratives
Henry Bibb was born into slavery in Kentucky in the year 1815, and he was the son of a slave owner. After several failed efforts to emancipate himself from slavery, he maintained the strength and persistence to continue his struggle for freedom despite being captured and imprisoned numerous times. His determination paid off when he was able to successfully escape to the northern states and then on to Canada with the assistance of the Underground Railroad, which had been highly anticipated. The following is an excerpt from his tale, in which he detailed one of his numerous escapes and the difficulties he faced as a result of his efforts.
I began making preparations for the potentially lethal experiment of breading the shackles that tied me as a slave as soon as the clock struck twelve.
On the twenty-fifth of December, 1837, the long-awaited day had finally arrived when I would put into effect my previous determination, which was to flee for Liberty or accept death as a slave, as I had previously stated.
It took every ounce of moral strength I have to keep my emotions under control as I said goodbye to my small family.
Despite the fact that every incentive was extended to me in order to flee if I want to be free, and the call of liberty was booming in my own spirit, 'Be free, oh, man!
I was up against a slew of hurdles that had gathered around my mind, attempting to bind my wounded soul, which was still imprisoned in the dark prison of mental degeneration.
Furthermore, the danger of being killed or arrested and deported to the far South, where I would be forced to spend the rest of my days in hopeless bondage on a cotton or sugar plantation, all conspired to discourage me.
The moment has come for me to follow through on my commitment.
This marked the beginning of the construction of what was known as the underground rail route to Canada.

For nearly forty-eight hours, I pushed myself to complete my journey without food or rest, battling against external difficulties that no one who has never experienced them can comprehend: "not knowing when I might be captured while traveling among strangers, through cold and fear, braving the north winds while wearing only a thin layer of clothing, pelted by snow storms through the dark hours of the night, and not a single house in which I could enter to protect me from the storm." This is merely one of several accounts penned by runaway slaves who were on the run from their masters.
Sojourner Truth was another former slave who became well-known for her work to bring slavery to an end.
Green and many others, including Josiah Henson, authored autobiographies in which they described their own personal experiences.
Perhaps a large number of escaped slaves opted to write down their experiences in order to assist people better comprehend their struggles and tribulations; or perhaps they did so in order to help folks learn from the mistakes of the past in order to create a better future for themselves.
'Their stories need to be told': the true story behind The Underground Railroad
Don't be deceived by the railway carriage's appearance. A railroad museum may be situated within one, however the content of the Washington Waterfront Underground Railroad Museum has nothing to do with railroads. Its original origins may be traced across the street to the Pamlico River, which was formerly utilized as a route of escape by enslaved African Americans seeking freedom in the 19th century. The museum's cofounder and executive director, Leesa Jones, explains that after reading a slew of documents and old slave ads from Washington newspapers that would say things like, "My slave has escaped, they're going to try to get to Washington in order to board a ship to get to their freedom," they realized that they wanted to tell an accurate story about how freedom seekers left from the Washington waterfront.
Jones points out that the first misconception many have about the underground railroad is that it was a system of subterranean trains, tunnels, and platforms that branched out like the London Underground or the New York subway.
There actually existed a network of hidden routes and safe homes that thousands of enslaved persons used to travel from the southern United States to the free states and Canada during the early and mid-19th centuries.
The Underground Railroad, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Colson Whitehead published in 2016, examined the divide between the real and the metaphorical by reimagining genuine trains booming beneath the soil.
However, in addition to depicting cotton fields, plantations, and forests, it is as effective in depicting subterranean steam trains that provide a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel.
I don't want a blue screen of death.
It had everything to do with the time, the place, and the fact that they were chatting in code.
For example, a depot may have been anything other than a railroad station; it could have been a graveyard, a river, a barn, or a location in the woods.
As a result, individuals were free to talk about it, and those who overheard the conversation may have assumed they were talking about a railroad line or a train station, which they were not talking about.
Tracks and trains aren't the only thing that people have misconceptions about.
Political influence and legal help were provided by African-Americans with access to education and resources, such as Robert Purvis and William Whipper, both of whom were from Philadelphia.

Their situation was not that of helpless slaves on a plantation, waiting for the white abolitionists to arrive and take them away.
Thinking about the freedom seekers and the stories they told after achieving freedom, it becomes clear who the true hero of the story was very quickly.
A tear fell from Jones's eye during the film Harriet, which was released in 2019 and starred Cynthia Erivo as Harriet Tubman, one of the most well-known conductors of the subterranean railroad.
While she is not a fan of Whitehead's use of artistic license, she is looking forward to watching the Amazon version and participating in the discussion that it will elicit.
According to the National Museum of African American History and Culture at the Smithsonian Institution, the most organized networks were in Pennsylvania and New York, with many of them centered on local churches.
Free Black people who liberated enslaved individuals from plantations in Maryland and Virginia ran an underground railroad station near the US Capitol in Washington, which was managed by free Black people.
'One has to pay particular attention to the Black communities in the northern hemisphere, since they are the foot troops of this movement,' he explains.
Image courtesy of Kyle Kaplan/Amazon Studios It was they who ensured that people were securely hidden, who resisted attempts to apprehend fugitives, who showed up at court hearings, who spent cold nights standing outside these hearings to ensure that people were not sent away before the hearing was completed." Understanding the underground railroad requires an understanding of the people who worked on the network.
We must also remember those whites, notably attorneys, who took the lead in defending these fugitive slaves in the courtrooms of the northern states.
The extent of the brutality and persecution, as well as the deliberate efforts to return freedom seekers to servitude, are still not completely appreciated by the international community.
It was a brave move.
These individuals are fleeing their homes, their families, and the locations that they are familiar with in an attempt to gain their freedom. It dawned on me that one must grasp their notion of freedom via their actions in order for freedom to become both a goal and an action."
A new episode of Amazon Prime's The Underground Railroad is now available.
Review: 'Underground Railroad' Lays Bare Horrors of Slavery and Its Toxic Legacy (Published 2016)
When Colson Whitehead takes the Underground Railroad (the loosely interlocking network of black and white activists who helped slaves escape to freedom in the decades before the Civil War) and turns it into a metaphor for an actual train that transports fugitives northward, it becomes one of the most dynamic novels of the year. As a result, the novel is a powerful, even hallucinogenic experience that leaves the reader with a dismal awareness of the horrible human consequences of slavery. This novel is reminiscent of the chilling, matter-of-fact power of the slave narratives collected by the Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s, as well as echoes of Toni Morrison's "Beloved," Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables," and Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man," as well as brush strokes borrowed from Jorge Luis Borges, Franz Kafka, and Jonathan Swift.
The novel follows the story of Cora, a teenage slave who escapes the Georgia plantation where she was born, risking everything in her search of freedom, just as her mother Mabel had done years earlier.
Cora must travel from Georgia to South Carolina to North Carolina to Tennessee to Indiana, evading not only Ridgeway but also other bounty hunters, informers, and lynch mobs — with assistance, along the way, from a few dedicated "railroad" workers, both black and white, who are willing to put their lives on the line to save hers.

The novel's literalization of the Underground Railroad is not the only instance of a dreamy quality in it.
These surreal elements give the narrative a mythic dimension that gives "The Underground Railroad" more magic and depth of field.
Whitehead was able to develop an elastic voice that can accommodate both brute realism and fablelike allegory, as well as the plainspoken and the poetic — a voice that allows him to convey the historical horrors of slavery with raw, shocking power.
The harshness of life on the plantation is shown in vivid detail, including Cora's gang-rape and whippings (which are sometimes followed by a washing in pepper water to increase the intensity of the suffering) that are commonplace.

Whitehead says that in North Carolina, slave patrollers "did not require a justification to halt a person aside from their race or national origin." One senator warns an enraged throng that their "Southern heritage lay unprotected and threatened" because of the "colored miscreants" who lurked in the shadows, threatening "to defile the residents' wives and daughters." Such paragraphs ring true today, given the police shootings of unarmed black men and boys, the stop-and-frisk practices that disproportionately target minorities, and the anti-immigrant rhetoric employed by politicians to inflame prejudice and fear among the public.

Review: Barry Jenkins' 'The Underground Railroad' adaptation is overwhelming and triumphant
According to a conductor in Barry Jenkins' adaptation of Colson Whitehead's famous 2016 novel "The Underground Railroad," taking the train will reveal "the actual face of America," according to the director of the film "Moonlight." The new Amazon miniseries(streaming Friday, 12 out of four episodes) undoubtedly tries to accomplish this, but through a massive epic of anguish and trauma, as well as humanization and the appearance of intermittent rays of light. This novel's central conceit is that the metaphorical Underground Railroad in the antebellum South – a historical network of routes and safe houses used by enslaved African Americans to escape to the Northern United States or Canada during slavery – was actually an actual railroad with trains, conductors, and stations. Despite its massive size, it is a complicated epic that defies sensible adaptation just as much as it attracts Hollywood's attention due to its widespread popularity and critical praise. Jenkins is one of the few filmmakers and producers who could give it right, and his 10-episode television series is a dark, beautiful, somewhat imperfect, but ultimately outstanding adaptation of the novel and short story. There are moments when it is difficult to watch, but it is always well worth your time. The 'fraught' representation of slavery in Amazon Studios' latest film, "Underground Railroad," is discussed in this interview with actor Barry Jenkins. It follows Cora (Thuso Mbedu), an enslaved lady on a Georgia plantation who is wounded as a result of her mother's departure when she was ten years old, leaving Cora feeling cursed and unwanted. When conditions on the estate deteriorate, handsome and well-educated slave Caesar (Aaron Pierre) persuades Cora to go with him to the underground railroad system known as the Underground Railroad. The price of admittance serves as testimony for its ledger, which serves as a chronicle of brutality and suffering. Cora and Caesar board a train, yet their voyage is far from the straightforward, straightforward travel to a free Northern state that one might expect from such a journey. More: Colson Whitehead discusses his feelings of being'very dejected' following the release of 'Nickel Boys,' and the need of self-care. It is Cora's escape that transforms into her own epic voyage across the country that brings her to the fanciful parts of Whitehead's ahistorical America, a journey that she calls "the Odyssey." It seems like every episode takes place somewhere fresh with a different mix of optimism and terror. 'Bettering the Lives of Former Slaves' is a fictional story about a South Carolina town that apparently "betters" the lives of former slaves but is actually a thinly disguised laboratory for eugenics and scientific research on African-Americans. On the one hand, there's the abolitionist in North Carolina who conceals Cora in his attic, attempting to save her while also imprisoning her in an inhumane form of captivity. On the other hand, there's the woman in New York who is forced to marry a man she doesn't love. In the course of her trip, Cora is chased by the obsessive slave catcher Ridgeway (Joel Edgerton), who has taken his failure to recapture her mother as an insult to his own dignity and honor. The series spends far more time on Ridgeway than the viewer may think, with an entire episode devoted to his genesis story, to name a few highlights. However, the novel avoids portraying Ridgeway as a stereotypical one-dimensional villain, just as it avoids portraying Cora as a stereotypical one-dimensional heroine. Ridgeway isn't simply nasty
He chooses to devote his life to the protection of white supremacy because it gives him a sense of accomplishment. Cora, on the other hand, has little control over her destiny and possesses none of the attributes of a Harriet Tubman-stylesuperhero or other guaranteed protagonists of these sorts of novels. She is only striving to live, flailing and panicking as the odds build against her every step of the way. Jenkins directs all 10 hour-plus episodes with a distinct vision and style that distinguishes them from one another. In his universe, shadows and shades of brown and gray are used to create depth and texture, but sometimes intentionally bright colors are used to provide glimmers of color in a generally monotonous terrain. The music is haunting and sad, fusing natural sounds such as the clicking of cicadas with sorrowful strings to create a haunting and gloomy atmosphere. The show's end credits contain a contemporary melody, a swift and abrupt transition from the show's universe into the real world, and a juxtaposition of tones that continues to startle even after several episodes. Mbedu is the series' most impressive performer, imbuing Cora with a strong sense of compassion and empathy in every scene, including those in which she does not speak. Edgerton is a compelling and persuasive counterpoint to her erratic behavior. A youthful sidekick, former slave Homer (Chase W. Dillon), who is a dazzling scene stealer, assists him in his mission. Additionally, the series' second half features a great, soulful performance by William Jackson Harper ("The Good Place"), who portrays Royal, a freeborn Black man who develops a romantic interest in Cora. "Underground" may be overpowering, in part because of the show's design and in part because of the streaming series' predilection for lethargic pacing– even while the majority of the episodes are crisp, a few drag. However, broadcasting all ten episodes of the expansive plot at the same time is a miscalculation. While Jenkins is best known as a film director, he is also known as a master of episodic storytelling: Each part is a whole tale that needs to be given the time and space to develop on its own merits. There should be no temptation to binge watch since it is too simple to be overpowered by the anguish inside each hour and too tempting to quit up after only a few episodes. However, giving up on "Underground" because it might be difficult to watch is a tragedy in and of itself. An epic full of catharsis and horror culminates in a conclusion that is well worthwhile of the journey. Few stories can accomplish this level of great, successful story — and even fewer stories about slavery can achieve this level of grand, successful narrative. Jenkins, like Whitehead before him, was able to strike the appropriate tone in order to transcend the "slavery" genre and proceed into something considerably more profound.

Pathways to Freedom
What was the Underground Railroad?The Underground Railroad was a secret network organized by people who helped men, women, and children escape from slavery to freedom. It operated before the Civil War (1861-1865) ended slavery in the United States. The Underground Railroad provided hiding places, food, and often transportation for the fugitives who were trying to escape slavery. Along the way, people also provided directions for the safest way to get further north on the dangerous journey to freedom.Enslaved people escaping North would often stay in "safe houses" to escape capture.These houses were owned by people, both black and white, who were sympathetic to the cause.The people who helped enslaved people escape were called "conductors" or "engineers." The places along the escape route were called "stations." Sometimes those escaping were called "passengers." Sometimes they were called "cargo" or "goods." Conductors helped passengers get from one station to the next. Sometimes they traveled with people escaping all the way from the South, where they had been enslaveed, to the North or to Canada, where they would be free. Sometimes the conductors traveled only a short distance and then handed those escaping to another helper. Engineers, who were the leaders of the Underground Railroad, helped enslaved people who were running away by providing them with food, shelter, and sometimes jobs. They hid them from people who were trying to catch them and return them to slavery.A well-organized network of people, who worked together in secret, ran the Underground Railroad. The work of the Underground Railroad resulted in freedom for many men, women, and children. It also helped undermine the institution of slavery, which was finally ended in the United States during the Civil War. Many slaveholders were so angry at the success of the Underground Railroad that they grew to hate the North. Many northerners thought that slavery was so horrible that they grew to hate the South. These people who hated each other were ready to go to war when the time came.Why was it called that?«back to About home

The Underground Railroad is a towering series about the ways slavery still infects America
It is unavoidably difficult for a white critic such as me to examine a work of art that is explicitly about the Black experience in America. There is a danger of coming across as condescending at best and appropriative at worst when attempting to equate the pain, trauma, and terror that often falls on Black Americans to the personal sorrows that white viewers may experience in their everyday lives, as is the case with this film. It is conceivable and even desirable for white audiences to discover personal connection in the lives of protagonists in films like as Do the Right Thing or12 Years a Slave because great art weaves universal stories out of unique realities.
Despite the fact that I have a terrible background, I do not live under the same crushing weight of centuries of slavery and institutional racism as so many others have.
Both Do the Right Thing and 12 Years a Slave are excellent films, but both urge us to look unflinchingly at the horrendous ways in which America abuses its Black residents.
As a result, I'd want to proceed with caution when evaluating The Underground Railroad, a 10-episode television version of Colson Whitehead's National Book Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name.
In no way should it be lauded as a narrative in which anybody can identify with the characters.
Things about my own life and personal anguish were brought to the surface by The Underground Railroad, but I never lost sight of the fact that, while I could identify with portions of this tale, it was not my own.
Jenkins acknowledges that this is a narrative about humanity, and he allows you the opportunity to discover yourself in it without detracting from the story's central theme – even if you don't like what you see.
For an adaptation of a great novel by an acclaimed filmmaker,The Underground Railroadsure acts like a TV show. Good.
Ridgeway, played by Joel Edgerton, is a slave catcher who is relentlessly on Cora's trail, until he is killed by her. Atsushi Nishijima/Amazon Studios is the photographer. When a brilliant filmmaker creates a television program, he or she is all too frequently content to merely extend their usual storytelling approach across a longer period of time than they would otherwise. A reason why Drivedirector Nicolas Winding Refn's 10-episode Amazon seriesToo Old to Die Youngdidn't make much of a splash when it premiered in the summer of 2019, despite the fact that it was directed by one of the most exciting young directors working today: The whole thing moved at the speed of molasses.
This difficulty is mostly eliminated because to the Underground Railroad.
Cora goes from place to place via an actual subterranean railroad — complete with train and everything — in an attempt to determine exactly what is wrong with each new locale she encounters.
It's not like Whitehead sits you down and says, "The South Carolina portion is all about the promise and final withering away of Reconstruction," and the South Carolina chapter (the second episode of the series) is about much more than that.
Whitehead's concept is tied together by the following: In the series, Cora is being relentlessly chased by a slave catcher named Ridgeway (played by Joel Edgerton), who is determined to pull her back into slavery despite the fact that she is sort of going forward in time.
It is always possible for the country's racist past to be linked to its racist present, and Whitehead's use of Ridgeway is a far more compelling exploration of this idea than any big, heartbreaking speech Cora could give on the subject (although several of the series' characters deliver some incredible speeches).
Each episode of the series may reasonably easily be read as a stand-alone story, with casual viewers having just the most rudimentary comprehension of the main characters and their position at the time of viewing.
They were also included in the novel, but Jenkins and his colleagues have made them a significant part of the overall experience by focusing on them as palate cleansers.
For example, the camera may zoom in for a God's-eye view of a burning hamlet, or an episode might progress mostly without speaking until it reaches a long, gloriously talky sequence near the conclusion.
However, binge-watching The Underground Railroadwould run the risk of reducing it to the level of a pulp thriller — typically, the best shows to watch in a marathon have clearly defined episodic stories that connect up into longer, serialized stories — but binge-watching this series would run the risk of reducing it to the level of a pulp thriller.
For comparison, Steve McQueen's 2020 anthology series Small Axe is similar in that it introduces new people in each episode, although The Underground Railroad does not.
The first episode has some graphic depictions of slavery, but it picks and selects which pictures to include.
Despite making it plain that no one should ever see what is going to be seen, the sequence's build helps the spectator to mentally prepare themselves for what they're about to witness.
When these tropes are in the hands of others, they might feel stale.
The slave, a guy we've scarcely known up to this point, keeps his humanity at the same time as people who aren't especially disturbed by what's going on retain their humanity in a different sense, thanks to the efforts of the Master.
The sound design for The Underground Railroad is likewise deserving of particular mention.
For example, when we hear a door swinging on its rusted hinges or a blacksmith pounding away in his shop, we hear that sound a little louder in the soundtrack than we would if we were in the same setting in real life.
While Cora is standing in an apparently deserted building, the sound of a chain jangling somewhere in the background quietly disturbs her, recalling the shackles that were placed on slaves in the first episode.
TheUnderground Railroadtells a universal story about moving through PTSD — but it is still a very specific version of PTSD
Cora finds herself in several really dark situations, both physically and metaphorically. Image courtesy of Kyle Kaplan/Amazon Studios In contemplating The Underground Railroad's frequent use of metallic sounds, I began to get why I found the series so compelling, for reasons other than its tale and storytelling. Cora's journey struck a chord with me because it mirrored my own recent experiences of attempting to fight my identity away from a history that was threatening to swallow it whole. My whole adult existence has felt like a process of peeling back layers of rotten, awful stuff, some of which was placed upon me at my conception.
However, this is where the conundrum I described at the outset of this review comes into effect.
After all, we've all experienced discomfort at some time in our lives, right?
(At least, that's how this type of critical argument works.) It is also feasible to go in the other direction.
For example, John Singleton's 1991 classicBoyz n the Hood is an incredibly well-made coming-of-age drama set in the South Central Los Angeles neighborhood of Boyz n the Hood.
Singleton had no control over how Boyz n the Hood would be accepted into mainstream culture once it had begun to spread.
In this way, watching the correct movies might be seen as a form of gradual self-vindication: I am vicariously feeling the sorrow of others, and that makes me a decent person.
Take note of how frequently he places the process of perceiving brutalities, both vast and commonplace, at the core of his argument: A scenario in which a white audience watches a whipping, for example, lingers on both the white audience and the Black audience for such flogging, watching how the white spectators treat the show as if it were nothing more than window decorating for an afternoon picnic.
The unusual temporal dilation of Whitehead's work also serves to keep the series from having a distancing impact on the reader.
Upon leaving the plantation, Cora travels through a number of other worlds, many of which bear unnerving resemblances to the current day in ways that disturb viewers who would be inclined to dismiss these stories as being set in the distant past.
Despite our numerous and obvious differences, I recognized myself in Cora.
I, too, wish to let go of my past, but I've found it to be more difficult than I had anticipated.
That is an excellent forecast.
Then, just when it seems like you've become comfortable with your reading of The Underground Railroad—or with any reading, for that matter—Jenkins will clip in pictures of the various Black characters from throughout the series, each of whom is looking gravely into the camera.
We identify with the characters in the stories we read or watch.
However, as you are watching what happens to these individuals, they are gazing straight back at you, via the camera, across the chasms of time that separate you from them.
And what do they notice when they take a glance behind them? The Underground Railroadwill premiere on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, May 14th. It is divided into ten episodes with running times ranging from 20 minutes to 77 minutes. Yes, this is true. Believe me when I say that it works.

Gophers 310204231
Wild lands U free agent Reilly
Rejecting several teams, the defenseman opted to stay home.
By Michael Russo Star Tribune
June 26, 2015 — 8:45pm
SUNRISE, FLA. – The Wild acquired a top-flight defenseman Friday, and it didn't have to give up a thing to get him.
After weeks of being courted by some of the NHL's highest-profile teams — like the reigning Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks — Gophers defenseman Mike Reilly chose his hometown Wild.
"It's been pretty crazy for me," Reilly said of the busy process that included 10 clamoring teams and recruiting trips to cities. "When it came down to it, and doing my homework on each team, this just felt right. The last few days, just me sleeping on it, it just felt right here."
Pat Brisson, the agent for the Hobey Baker Award finalist, informed Chuck Fletcher of the news about five hours before the first round of Friday's draft. The Wild general manager had been patiently awaiting Reilly's decision since first meeting him at the combine in Buffalo earlier this month.
"That's a big get — a big get," NBC analyst Pierre McGuire said moments after the news broke.
The Wild wouldn't comment because Reilly can't officially sign until Wednesday, but he has agreed to a two-year, $1.85 million contract (includes annual $92,500 signing bonuses; the maximum for an entry-level contract) plus performance bonuses.
Reilly, who turns 22 next month, became a free agent June 16 after not signing with the Columbus Blue Jackets, the team that drafted him 98th overall in 2011.
He is a puck rusher who led NCAA defensemen with 42 points, tied for third among all NCAA players with 36 assists, ranked first among all NCAA skaters with 19 power-play assists and earned First Team All-America and Big Ten honors for a second consecutive season. In three years with the Gophers, Reilly scored 18 goals and 89 points in 117 games.
The Wild will give Reilly every opportunity to make the team out of training camp. Reilly said no promises have been made, and the Wild might still be interested in re-signing veteran and fellow Gophers alum Jordan Leopold.
"I've got to come in and try to earn a spot and play well and play my game," Reilly said. "There will be a lot of learning curves and mistakes, but I'm ready to learn from the older guys that have played in the league. There's also a lot of good, young guys, too, that played as well, so it'll be good to be able to learn from them and take it step by step to learn the pro game and be confident."
It would be a big transition from college hockey and the big rink at Mariucci Arena to the NHL. But Gophers assistant coach Mike Guentzel said, "I never discount Mikey. He does things with the puck that are very special and he has a really innate ability to put mistakes behind him and keep playing.
"He never loses confidence. He has a low panic point and a special sense to look for good plays."
Guentzel said the biggest transition will be defensively and matching up against top NHL players.
"Lots of guys comparable have needed time in the American [Hockey] League, but I think he plays in the NHL at some point next year if not all year," Guentzel said. "I give him a lot of credit. He put a lot of time and work into building his body and it has allowed him to become a better defender. Sometimes that gets overlooked because of how elite his offensive skills are, but he put in the time to improve on the details and defending was his biggest improvement."
Reilly was born in suburban Chicago and grew up in Chanhassen. His dad, Mike, is a former Montreal draft pick and minority owner of the Wild. His brothers, Connor and Ryan, are current Gophers, as well as younger sister, Caitlin, who just transferred from Penn State. His older sister, Shannon, played at Ohio State.

Q: How to manage git repository levels? So there's a project me and my friends are about to start.
Its my first time working in a group more than 2 people, therefore, my knowledge about git is very limited.
How to determine levels in a git repository?
For example: Lets say that I want to have full management about the pull requests to master branch.
However I want my friend to not have the permissions to delete the repository or accept pull request like I do.

A: You could create two empty repositories on GitHub:

*

*one for you

*one where you add your friend as a collaborator.

Start working locally (git init; git add .; git commit -m "work") and push to the first repository.
Add the second repo as an new remote (git remote add second https://github.com/me/repo2) and push to it as well.
Your friend will be able to make PR (pull request) to your first repository, but won't delete or accept anything on said first repository.
